Woman Receives q Letter Mailed to
Her in 1854.

New York. Feb. AFTER it had
been more than hfty-four years in the
mails, a letter has been delivered to
Mrs. Elizabeth E. Nichols of Newark,
N. J. New York newspapers reported
the fact that there had been received
at the postoff1ce letter addressed to
Miss Elizabeth Garthwaite. the post
mark on which showed that it had
been mailed In New Orleans on De-
cember 80, 1854. The postmaster
knew no one of that name and did not
know what to do with the letter, which
was addressed to her by her maiden
name. The letter proved to have been
written by Miss Fannie Brittin. Mrs.
Nichols cousin. who now lives in. Ell
Paso, Texas, and who attended school
with Mrs. Nichols more than half a
century ago.
The ink inside the letter is so badly
faded that the letter is hardly de-
ciph cradle, but the address Is plain.
The envelope was badly worn. but had
held together. No one has been able
to offer any explanation for the where
abouts Of the letter during the years
that have elapsed since 1t was mailed.

I am more than delighted. When all
other treatments have failed, yours
stands alone a success"
In speaking of her discovery, Miss
Meta says: Yes, know it sounds too
good to be true. but really do not
think removing wrinkles is half so Won
derful as the telephone. Before the tel
ephone was invented it appeared ridicu-
lous to think of talking from New York
to Chicago.
Those who have used cold creams,
etc., cannot understand how my treat
ment can act quickly. Yet, after all, 1t
is very simple, and I wonder that some
one did not discover the process long
ago. My letters from patients tell the
whole story. Here is one from a lady
who says my treatment made her look
twenty years younger, also letters from
many others. I do not see how any
one can doubt in the face of such tes-
timony as this. I tried cold creams,
massage, ETC., myself, without results.
and I can thoroughly sympatize with
those who have tried to get rid of
wrinkles, and I am truly glad that
feel can now offer womankind a surer
and shorter way.
II will give further particulars to all
those who write me within the next
ten days. I must exact a promise of
secrecy from every one for my own
protection before I give full informa-
tion-if you can use my treatment on
yourself or in your own family, but
you must not tell what it is to out
siders.
Il guarantee my treatment will in no
way injure your skin. On the contrary,
it will give it a soft, velvety feeling
and greatly improve your complexion,
as well as Danish unsightly lines and
wrinkles. It takes only a few minutes
to use it.

prevails that the affair is too expensive
to consider at this time. 1t was sug-
gested that the trip between the build
ings is the cause of many colds on
account of the exposure to which the
girls are subjected.
''As a simple remedy for this trou-
BILE I would suggest that the mothers
of the girls see; that they wear long
sleeved waists and high shoes in the
winter, without any of the ornamental
feature Of open work hose said Prof.
Whittemore.
"a simple matter" repeated Charles
Hardy, ST would like to suggest that
by the time Prof. Whittemore's daugh-
ter is sixteen years Of age he will find
that his suggestion is a long ways from
q simple one
The matter ended and the girls can
wear short sleeves and wade in snow
while wearing low shoes or brave the
coolest weather with their ankles pro-
tected by open work hose If they see fit
and the school board will not protest,
but there will not be subway, at least
not soon.
The board estimates that there will
be $4,000 in the building fund by the
first Of January. 1909, and available
for the payment of the new building
and this without an additional levy for
school purposes being raised. The
member of the board from the Fifth
ward raised a feeble protest when the
question of a new school house came
up and Washington school was not
considered but the board took the
stand that the demand for q new
building is greater in the more thickly
populated portion of the city where
Central Park school is located, than in
the Washington school district.
Just before adjournment the board
unanimously elected L. D. Whittemorc
to succeed himself as superintendent
for the ensuing year and in apprecia-
ton of the fact Mr.. Whittemore pro-
duced a basket of big red apples from
safety vault, and the members did
the rest, finally adjourning when there
were no more apples.

Washington, D. G., May 15.-The

special rule by a vote Of 184 to 145.
Fifteen so-called insurgents Of the

against the measure.
The closing moments Of the debate
We're replete with excitement and
the republican enthusiasm caused by
the refusal Of great majority Of the
democrats to go on record for the
Williams bill, which had been offer
ed by Mr.. Kahn Of California as a
substitute for the Vreeland bill in
accordance with a we'll laid plan Of
the majority leaders to ascertain
where the democrats stood on the
proposition, which 1t was claimed by
several was supported by Mr.. Bryan.
democrats voted pres
ent, which aroused the republicans
to a high state Of hilarity at the ex-
pense of the minority. Only a hand
full Of the democrats had the temerity
to vote faye" or mo-. The action
Of Mr.. Kahn was due to the refusal
Of Mr.. Williams to present his sub
stitute to the bill, which, under the
rule, he was specifically authorized
to do.
At 6:10 the house recessed until
today at 1880 o'clock. AS soon as
the bill reaches the senate, Mr.. AID
rich will call a meeting Of the COM
mittee on. finance to consider It,. It
is expected the committee will vote
to amend the house
measure by striking out all after the
enacting clause and inserting the
provisions Of the bill, which was pas
sed by the senate. 1t is not doubt
ed chat the senate will approve the
action Of the committee. The eff
feet Of this course would be to send
both the Vreeland and the Aldrich
