A new weighing of the mails, cover
ing period of 80 days. from Septem-

is recommended because the parcels post
has greatly increased the weight of the
mails and the raill Dads claim they are
entitled to compensation on a new basis.
The bill would also stop the present
practice Of carrying second class mail in
fast freight trains.

church as well as doing some decorative
workifor other'property owners in town,
returned to Baltimore Tuesday night.
Mr.. DuBrau's work in every respect
shows the hand of a finished artist, and
we doubt if the work executed by him
can be surpassed for beauy and dainti-
ness of design and execution.
