OF
THE DAY LETTER

The Western Union Telegraph
compans inaugurated March lst
new form of telegraph service
called the day letter. which we
believe will Immediately commend
ITSELF to the public as affordiag
decided advantages in telegraphic
correspondence, The day letter is
designed as the day companion to
the night letter
The rate charged for day letter
OF fifty words or less is one and
one-half times the night letter rate,
and for each additional ten words
or less, one-ffth Of the initial
charge.
Day letters are to be written in
plain English, thus avoiding the
delays and complications of code
words and code language, They
may be filed at any time and are
to be transmitted as the facilities
OF tie company may permit during
business hours, full rate telegraph
having priority Of transmission
AS the wires of the company are
in much demand during the mid
day hours, it is advisable that day
letters be filed as early in the day
as possible, Day letters will be
accepted at all offices Of the West
ern Union for transmission to aly
of its offices in the United States.
The day letter and tno night
letter give to the UnitGd states the
cheapest telegraph service in the
world and enable the business man
to conduct his correspondence By
wire with NIL the advantages that
result from saving Of time, elimi-
nation Of distance, and the imne-
diate attention accorded telegrar.s.

Speeches on Belle Isle Are
Definitely Barred.

Not 10 be sidetracked by the rul-
ing OF mere man--Park Commission
or Hnrlbut. by the way-the members
OF the Detroit Equal Suffrage club
plan TO charter a ferry boat for their
proposed picnic. The commissioner
has decreed that suffrage workers
cannot have addesses on suffrage or
any other subject II they hold Sheir
outing on the island; In fact, he actu-
ally sent them copy OF the ordinance
which prohibits public speaking on
Belle Isle. However, the women will
make one more effort to overcome the
ruling of the commissioner they Will
see Mayor Thompson on his return
10 the city. IL the latter fails to grant
permission for the speeches, then TO
the ferry boat for the suffragists. They
believe they can finance the river trip
without much difficulty, by taxing
each member 80 cents. The scheme
was suggested in the meeting OF the
club, Friday afternoon, but didn't meet
with unanimous approval, because OF
the fear that II would be too big an
undertaking, financially. However,
some OF the members are entnusias-
tic over the plan and will likely bring
IL 10 a successful issue II speaking on
Belle Isle is definitely barred
Several prominent speak@rs have
been mentioned for the boat picnic
among them being Mayor Brand Whit
lock, of Toledo. II Is believed that he
can be secured.
The club, acting on the suggestion
of Miss Clara +. Dyar, means TO mako
an investigation into the manner IN
which women In prisons and working
girls In factories are treated. The In
quiry Is not TO be undertaken in any
spirit OF criticism, the members OF the
club merely desiring 10 improve the
labor and prison conditions for wo-
men II improvements are needed.
Miss Nellie Cunningham was elect
ed chairman of q committee TO keep
up the summer work OF promoting the
suffrage propaganda. The club also
took steps TO arrange for neighbor'
hood suffrage meetings next year.
Hereafter the club will hold two
meetings a month. the first and third
| Fridays. The third Friday will be de-
| voted TO study OF the political ques-
tons OF the day.

London.-A sort of government stud.

new breed of horse, is not unlikely to
be presently endowed by the commits
sioners of the development grant.
They have promised. as recently an
nounced, $250,O00 for the encourage

any definite scheme is inquired into
the more clearly 1t appears that the
cardinal point, SO far as the army is
concerned, is money. The best horses
go abroad simply because the foreign
er pays more; and to supply govern
ment department with extra doles is
no business of the commissioners
What they do should be done princi-
pally on behalf of the breed itself
This being SO, 1t is proposed as a
first step to try to convert the hunter
from mongrel to an aristocrat. The
hunter is the horse of horses for util-
ity. The cavalry and the territorials
want nothing but the hunter At pres

Ing of hunters would be on very diff
ferent footing If the hunter type could
be, as 1t were, stereotyped in distinc.
tive pure breed. In many parts even
OF Ireland, the paradise of hunters, the
type is depreciating and nowhere Is 1t
improving.
1t is argued that really scientific
and practical body with the grant of
several thousand dollars year, could
evolve pure bred hunter of just the
sort required, just as the pigeon or dog
fanciers have evolved birds and dogs
of every sort of pattern" Similar ex-
periments recently made in Hertford-
shire in regard to polo ponies are very
promising; and these have been under.
taken on no very scientific method.
The evolving of such horse would
