UNUSED ENVELOPES ON SALE.
Old Three-Centers Now Stamped
With Numeral &C."

The Washington city post office to-
day placed on sale three-cent stamped
envelopes for use at the present post
age rate. The envelopes were run
through canceling machines equipped
with special dies bearing the numeral
"2''
The Post Office Department au-
thorized the sale after the special
cancellation of all unsold three-cent
stamped envelopes on account of the
prevailing paper shortage as well as
for the sake of economy.
With the restoration of two-cent
postage, a large unused supply of
three-cent envelopes was left on the
hands of postmasters throughout the
country, and as the demand for new
envelopes was greater than the avail
able supply, it was decided to convert
the three-cent envelopes into two-cent
envelopes.

sones. a Peruvian painter. and son Of
DR.. Emanoel Mesones. former secre-
city. is under arrest here on a charge
of having murdered his wife. The
| case has excited keen interest in all
ranks of Roman society. Mesones
eloped in 1917 with a daughter of At
tilio Simonetti, proprietor of one of
the best known art galleries in Rome
and a commander in the Order of the
Crown of Italy. The parents of the

the latter disappeared, Mesones eX-
planning she had gone to Peru. Later
he is said to have announced the ship
in which she had sailed had sunk
and that Signora Mesones had been
drowned. This story was accepted by
vestigation. and the matter remained
in that status until recently, when a
night watchman overheard a CONVEX
sation between two men, who said
Mesones' wife had been murdered.
They said, it is averred, that her
body was "palmed or as that of one
Maria Rotellini, who, on January A.,
1918, was found dead on the Tiber
embankment. BY her side was a re-
volver and in one of her pockets was
a letter addressed to relatives in
Udine. At that time Austrian forces
occupied Udine and it was impossible
to conduct an injury among her sup
posed relatives there.
Identified by Photographs.
The watchman went to the morgue.
obtained pictures of the suicide, and
showed them to Signor Simonetti, who
recognized them as likenesses of his
daughter. Investigation at hotels
mentioned in the letter found on the
person of the suicide showed a wom-
an by the name of Rotellini had ac-
tually stayed at them, and now the
police are trying to trace this woman

When arrested, Mesones said he did
not remember the name of the ship
on which his wife sailed. and de-
clared he had not reported the vessel

from $75OO.OO to SS000.00' not in
cluding a balance of $7000.00 still
due from the Church Extension Fund
to build the church and this amount
does not include the cost of fixtures.
How many will follow the example
set by DR.. Calvert and help us to full
fill the obligation which we have as
sumed in accepting his liberal dona-
ton? This contribution came at a
time when the Building Committee
was sorely pressed for funds and has
transformed g. feeling of depression
and encouragement to one of en-
thusiastic hope and confidence. We
must raise this balance within the
sixty days.
