The postmaster. ai Hamilton, Bermuda, will back stamp all such articles. Covers should be sent in time to reach Baltimore, the Clippers departure base, not later than March Is. The air mail rate is 10 cents per half ounce.
 The U. s. Postoffice Department will celebrate the goth anniver- sary of the inauguration of reg ular air mail service by observ- ing the First National Air Mail Week from May Is to May 2l. An official cachet will be authorized at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the birthplace of aviation, to honor the Wright brothers. Every other postoffice in the United States, of which there are more than 45,O00, will be authorized to arrange for its own local cachet.
 Thousands of privately licensed pilots will be given the opportu- nifty of becoming air mail pilots for day to fly the mail from in- terior offices to air mail stop points.
 TWenty-two different U. s. com- memoratives are now being sought by interested groups. It is ex- pectcd several of these will be granted, some perhaps in the stamp program now being formu- lated in Washington for 1888.
 Philatelic courses are now be- ing offered in Temple University, Philadelphia, South Orange Ma plewood Adult School, N. J., and other schools plan to follow. The hobby is also attracting wider at tention through the regular Sat- urday stamp broadcasts over a natiopal hookup.

During the evening of the same day Mrs. Milhorn advised Dixon that a diamond pin had been left in the cuff of the trousers. At that time the suit had already been delivered to another for the actual cleaning operations and the pin was not found there.
 The evidence showed that Dixon had noticed the pin in the cuff but was unable to open the safety catch and therefore left the pin in the trousers.
 When Dixon refused to pay her the value of the pin, Mrs. Millhorn sued him on the theory that Divon was guilty of gross negligence. A jury brought in a verdict for Mrs. Mill horn for $75. The case was appealed.
