Mrs. Nanette B. Paul, LII D., of the
Washington College of Law, will give a
series of lessons from 10 to IL o'clock
each day during the last week of the
Suffrage School. Her work is based
upon knowledge of the common civil
law, of which parliamentary procedure IS
well recognized branch. She takes up
the subject from the standpoint of a
lawyer who applies the principles of law
and equity to cases brought to him for
advice and counsel.
She will use her own text book, her
large diagram of motions and a black
board. She will acquaint the class with
the principles upon which the science is
based, and drill the members on the forms
by which business is transacted in all de-
Lucrative bodies. She says she will carry

to develop her subject from the laws

Says Montclair Man.

NEW YORK. March 24.-Eyeless nsh

are to be dissected by Harry Trippett,
town clerk of Montclair, n. J., at
meeting of the Montclair Board Of
Health. in an effort by Mr.. Trippett to
demonstrate his theory OF the existence
of Second sight"
The pituitary gland. Mr. Trippett
said, was responsible for the existence
of a sixth sense in some people, and he
believes it exists more or less in every
human being.
Mr.. Trippett says that the eyeless
fish that exist in the Mammoth Cave
have this pituitary body in highly de-
veloped form. Through the United
states government he recently obtained
two of these eyeless fish, which he dis
sected to confirm his belief that the
large pituitary gland Of the fish is re-

Postmaster Hugh Mckee to-day re-

1t was understood that Mr. Mckee
was asking for an appropriation of
$4,000, which would have provided for
about 20 more clerks per year in the

Since the parcel post went into effect,
the mail has greatly increased at the
Atlanta postofiice, the receipts aver
