Washington, Oct. 25--The National

Bids for this contract were called

ton. holder of the present contract
for printing stamped envelopes. Mem
bers OF the National JOINT committee
lodged with Postmaster General Hitch
cock vigorous protest against the
immediate awarding of the contract
10 this concern.
Bill Pending In Senate
The ground for this protest was
that during the last session OF con-
gress the house passed what is known
as the TouVeIle-Nelson bill, which
prohibits the printing Of special re-
quest" return cards on stamped en-.
yelopes after July l. next. The ma
jority in favor OF TINS bill was over
whelming. The measure was not
re3ched in the senate and Is stifl
pending.
Apparently. members of the COM
mittee are again alarmed lest the con-
tract be awarded They have made
public copies Of letters sent by Post
master General Hitchcock and Acting
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Trayers to certain United tSates sem
ators. explaining the attitude Of the
department In the matter. Accompany
ing these letters is printed state
ment signed by all members OF the
National Joint committee. in which
vigorous exception is taken to them.
The committee has also made public
long letter from Bryan s. Adams of
Washington, the secretary, to the
postmaster general. setting forth the
objections OF the committee to the let
ting OF the contract and expressing re-
gret that Mr. Hitchcock could not find
II convenient to see the committee in
person.
Hitchcock Explains Action
In the letter from Mr. Hitchcock to
an unnamed United States senator un-
der the date Of October ! he says 1t

A COMEDIANS TRICK.
Ruse by Which He Escaped Arrest
and Had His Debts Paid

Many amusing stories are told of Joe
HaineS, comedian of the time of
Charles H., sometimes called Count"
Haines. 1t is said that he was arrest
ed one morning by two bailifIs for q
debt of ECO, when he saw q bishop to
whom he was related passing along in
his coach. With ready resource he i'm
mediately saw loOphole for escaDe.
and, turning to the men. he said Let
me speak to his lordship. to whom I
am well known, and he will pay the
debt and your charges into the bar
gain"
The bailifTs thought they might ven
ture this, as they were within two or
three yards of the coach. and acceded
to the request. Joe boldly advanced
and took off his hat to the bishop. His
lordship ordered the coach to stoD,
when Joe whispered to the divine that
the two men were suffering from such
scruples of conscience that he feared
they would hang themselves, suggest
Ing that his lordship should invite
them to his house and promise to sat
1sfy them. The bishop agreed. and,
calling to the bailiffs, he said, "You
two men come to me tomorrow morn
Ing, and will satisfy you."
The men bowed and went away
pleased, and early the next day wait
ed on his lordship, who, when they
were ushered in, said, "Well, my men,
what are these scruples Of con-
science?"
"Scruples?" replied one of them.
I'VE have no scruples! We are bal
lifts, my lord, who yesterday arrested
your cousin, Joe Haines, for q debt of
EGO, and your lOrdship kindly promised
to satisfy u.s.
The trick was strange, but the re-
suit was stranger, for his lordship,
either appreciating it's cleverness or
considering himself bound by the
promise he had unintentionally given.

A CHINESE SOLOMON.
His Decision In a Case Of a Woman
With Two Husbands.

His Decision In a Case of a Woman
With Two Husbands.
There was Chinese Judge named
Wang, who was as wise as Solomon.
Before Wang two men and O woman
appeared. The older man was the wo-
mans first husband. He had gone to
the wars and been reported dead. Now
he returned alive to claim his wife.
But she meanwhile had married the
younger man, who refused to give her
up; hence all three came before Wang
that he might decide this truly difficult
case.
yang III" said the judge to the wo-
man, (which Of these two men made
the better husband|
Both were perfect husbands, my
lord judge" Yang Ki modestly replied.
So the judge told the men that he
would keep the woman by him for
week, examining her thoroughly, and
q week hence he would decide the
case. Well. the week passed, and the
two husbands came once more before
the Judge. He shook his head gravely
and said to them:
"The woman. Yang Ki, has died
There is no case. Let her original hus-
band take the body away from my
house and pay for the burial"
''Ho, not To- said the original hus-
band. And, so saying. he Iarted from
the court and was soon lost to view.
"You, them" said the Judge to the
other man, "must stand these burial
expenses"
'Yes," the man answered, that Is
just, and will give this woman, who
was good and kind, the finest burial
my purse will allow
The judge clapped his hands. Yang
III, blushing and smiling, entered the
courtroom in rich dress Of gold bro
cade.
"T0ke her" said the wise Judge, "fOr
you and not the other merit her love
and service"
