written for this department by re-
quest and on condition we omit
names. Out Of six requests sent out
for four of our lady readers have
responded as follows:1
My ideal home, is not necessarily
adorned with the trappingS of wealth:
neither must it be saddened bv pinch
ing poverty. A competence there
must be; which, with industry and
thrift will preserve its inmates from
painful anXietieS.
In this home, the husband is the
dread winner, the wife the home
maker. and together they reign as
king and queen over the little realm.
The children, for there are children
in my ideal home, are loyal and Obedi-
ent subjects, every one: and it never
occurs TO them. to question the di-
vine right Of their king and queen to
rule.
Order and system prevail, but love
and Self-sacritice of Loves sake, ami
mate all hearts within this home,
and to be good and do good is their
constant rule of conduct. Health,
smiling goodness, stands at its portal
and scatterS happiness and prosperity
with lavish hands. The table is not
only the place VIII re natures recur-
ring wants are daily supplied. but a
school of manners; yet there harmless
mirth disports itself unrebuked, and
thought unfettered flows. Books
there are in abundance, bringing the
culture of all countries and all ages
within reach Of thi, charmed circle.
Flowers bloom in the window, smile
at you from the garden paths with
suggestions of beauty and refinement.
Yet, whatever else may be there, the
guests who frequent this house are its
choicest. most valued ornaments.

will be taught the principles of obedi.

E. NJ. Whitaker. Dead.

Mr.. f. NJ. Whitaker died at his
home in this city on last Sunday
night after fortnight'S illness. lie
was seriously i'll from the FIRST days of
his attack but the best medical at
tention was unable to combat the
disease. He was a little past fifty
years OF age. In his death the COM
munity loses good citizen. He was
quiet, transformations individual but
was careful to perform his promises
and was held in high esteem by those
who had business relations with him
and who were in position to best
know his real worth. Such character
do not live in vain. He was a brick
mason by trade and was Industrious
and preserving in his laborS. The
funeral services were conducted from
the residence on Monday afternoon
by Rev. W. w. Mitchell, pastor OF
the Methodist church after which his
remains were inferred in Odd Fellows
Cemetery. The Sentinel tenders
sympathy TO the bereft ones.

BRENNAN LAWYERS
FORWARD BRIEFS
Commissioners Accused of
'Favoritism" and Eek
ceeding Authority"

Douglas, Baker & Sheriff., attorneys
for =. J. Brennan, have forwarded to
the Commissioners their brief OI. the
-aaring Of the charges of favoritism in
the Engineer Department. filed by the
Brennan Construction Company and the
BealI Construction Company.
The points Of law TO which attention
is invited are cited as follows.
"The Brennan Construction Company
was the lowest bidders on the proposal
dated March 80. 1907, and should have
been awarded the contract. The Com
mlssioners OF the District OF Columbia
are required by law 70 award contracts
for public work 10 the lowest responsible
bidder, and. although the right to re-
Ject all proposals is reserved, the dis
cretion thereby lodged IN the Commits
sioners cannot be exercised arbitrarily.
Under the proposals upon which bids
were invited. the Commissioners Of the
District OF Columbia had no right to
divide the contract, and such a division
was contrary 10 la-y.
'The additional work awarded under
the contract made pursuant to the pro-
posaI OF March ?. 1907. was not en-
braced in the proposal and, therefore.
was let without advertisement, as re-
quired by law.
The Commissioners OF the District OF
Columbia exceeded their authority in
ordering additional work to be done
under said contract when no money was
available for said work"
In support OF these contentious, the at
toTneys quote numerous legal authOri-
ties. A copy of the brief win be for
warded 10 the Corporation Counsel for
his ODiDiOn.

Mr.. Moore Sends Up Parting Wall
Against the RenorseleSS Laundryn1an

Up and down the well-groomed form
of J. Hampton Moore, Representative in
Congress from Pennsylvania, the shud-
ders Of adherence once more are chas-
ing themselves. Across his optimistic
countenance there are fitting the
frowns and shadows that betoken dis
satisfaction with the world in general
and laundries in particular.
seizing with avidity the 'Jeave to
print" In he Congressional Record dur
ing the five days following the adjourn
ment of Congress, Mr.. Moore today put
into the Record a speech in defense Of
his bill for the inspection and regula-
tfon OF laundries.

TNO-CENT POSTAGE

The matter Of a penny postage" as
it is called IN England. has been under
consideration for some time, and as far
back as last July President Roosevelt
approved Mr.. Meyers course in urging
a restricted union with England"
on October ], 1891, the Universal Post
Union, which governs the international
postal transactions of the various civil
ized countries. reduced the rate of letter
postage from cents a half ounce fat.
to cents for the first ounce and g
cents for each additional ounce. which
is the present rate between the United
States and Great Britain, with which
we have direct steamship communion
tion, and also is the rate between the
United States and countries with which
We do not have direct steamship com
muniCatiOn. but on mail 10 which we
have TO pay an additional charge to
countries through which it passes in

Under the articles of the Universal
Union. however. any two states can
form a restricted union. Examples OF
restricted unions are those now exist
ing which permit 2-Cents-an-ounce

and Cuba. the United States and Pan
anna, and the United States and Canada.
Postmaster General Meyer believes
that this reduction in the rate Of postage
TO the United Kingdom ultimately will
result iE an increase IN receipts. because

Mr.. Moore hurls the following hot
phrases into the faces Of the merciIass

ITO most men who are accustomed TO
neatness in their attire the loss Of a,
collar button is proverbially provoking.
For this, perhaps. the laundryman is
not to blame; but what may be said
of that narrowing circumstance which
finds the man possessed Of a collar but
ton bereft of the button hole In his
shirt? If men. called upon TO perform
their daily avocations, and desiring 10
possess themselves OF the smile OF
optimism, are TO put forth the best there

of a collar has slipped the button and

The humorous side of the situation
presents a rich and varied field Of in
quiTy and Of recollection. But the pur-
p0se of the bill has no other significance
than that Il is desired to compel those
who take the property Of the public into
their laundries TO tresf il decently and
