the impeeunious brother Of the late
King Carlos Of Portugal and he had
lived with his Americas wife in yir-
tual exile from the time Of his mar
rage until his death.
The marriage had taken place at
the American Methodist church at

POSTMASTER TO LIST ALL
UNNuMBERED BUILDINGS

Postmaster Alexander Gilman has
received from the postmaster general
bulletin requesting that he instruct
the carriers on the routes in Putnam
10 list all Of the unnumbered build
ings in the city. In cities where such
a list is compiled and sent to the post
office department notices are later
sent out by the department request
ing owners of the listed buildings to
put numbers on them.
The city ordinances provide that
houses shall be numbered. In larger
cities than Putnam much inconven-
ienee is caused postofiice carriers
when houses are not numbered. and
there is consequently a delay in deliv-
ering mail. Much time would be
saved if senders of letters would com
ply with the department rule and give
the street number in every address
that is written.
