BAN ON STAMP '
LICKING C|vILITY

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-Em-
ployes of the San Francisco post
office have been officially forbidden
to lick the stamps on letters at the
behest of fair mailers who are reluct-
ant to raise their wells and to perform
this necessary operation themselves.
Postmaster Fisk has declared that
henceforth the stamps must be at
tached by the letter writer's them
selves, regardless of inconvenience
and possible microbe residing in the
glue.
For some time past, complaints
have reached Postmaster Fisk that
postoffice clerks have been frequently
called upon to lick the stamps on let
ters presented by numerous women
with letters to mail When they have
refused, the clerks have been report
ed for discourtesy. The postmaster
has come to the rescue of his subor-
dinates by issuing general order,
dated yesterday, in which he calls
the attention of all postal employees
to paragraph A. section SO7 of the
postal laws and regulations, which
says:
"Postmasters and their employees
are forbidden to address registered
matter, place the contents in the en-
velope, seal it, or affiX the stamps"
The most frequent violations Of
this rule" says Postmaster Fisk, "are
the affiXing of stamps by window
clerks. This is forbidden

fixed by the mailer

The high price of eggs is caused by

THE THEATERS
At the Empire.

Lucia Lottie Collins was heartily
applauded as she appeared for the
last time before the Honolulu public
at the Empire theater last night, and
if there was any doubts as to the
popularity of this clever woman it was
quickly dispelled, for it was clearly
demonstrated last night that she had
won the admiration of the theater go
ing public
Quite appropriate for her closing she
chose one of her mothers successes,
"The Little Widow" and gave a good
imitation of her mother and seemed so
much like the original "Lottie" that
the only thing lacking to make it an
exact duplicate of her mothers act
was the chorus that added to the eff

the Little Widow hasn't the high

boom-de-ay was noted for, the rem
dition of it last night was all that
was expected even by the most fasti-
dious. Her costume was in keeping
with her song. II can be conscientious

George Eldridge, the boy traveller,

an organism untitled for the trial of
strength, and when the strain is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and a
distinct change i'll the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of chill

conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The mexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
| from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
/ they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
