| The 1ong-drawn-out tariff debate
which holds men of National promi-
nence as orators in Washington has

Dolliver is in hot water over missing
an engagement down in North Caro-
lima. He was to have delivered the an
nual address at Trinity College COM
mencement last week, and because he
was worn out with his prodigious efforts

cancel the engagement. It's "tuff," but
it all comes in lifetime.

Wis is much broken over the death OF
his wife, and thinks he will never again
be as aspiring as he has been. He has
family of eight children, all bright
youngsters.
Postmaster-GeneraI Hitchcock thinks
that the present postal card is a dis
grace to the country, and he intends to
have new one. It is to be of better
board and be more artistically gotten
up in every way. He will probably

of the paper The Government issues
75,000,0 900 postal cards a month.

the audiences she was addressing. Mrs. |
Terrell does not at all carry the idea
of the unprecedented woman. however.
She knows how to dress and loves pret-
ty things.
