The new spring styles come in on us faster than we can tell of them. Would you care to read a short description of what we consider the ultra-fashionable effects? Here’s the “Ludgate.” How very pretty—how dainty—a tan vici kid boot—lace or button, with college toe and “English” heel. And the “Dupont”—high and Oxford—made of black vici leather—in exceedingly hand- some and fashionable shapes. There's the “Marlborough”’— a tan patent leather—so very stylish—a real novelty for the ultra-fashionable. English mili- tary Leel—in lace ay What a beautiful boot is the “Vienna”—what a pretty color —a rich wine, with black eye- lets, English heel, and “college” toe. The “Majestic” is perhaps the most stylish boot in the house— patent leather, with kid top, and a very stylish shape. The “Princess of Wales” is an all patent leather boot, made with an English toe and mili- tary heel. Tite “Columbia” bicycle boot at $3.48, in tan and black vici kid, is really the best value that it has ever been our privilege to offer.

Reply of the Post Office Department in the Wynn Case. The defendants in the case of Solomon Cc. Wynn of Toledo, Ohio, against Postmas- ter General Wilson and others has moved the court to strike out certain parts of the bill of complaint. Mr. Wynn seeks to en- jcin the Postmaster General from contract- ing with Mayberry & Ellis of Detroit, Mich., for furnishing letter boxes and other parephernalia for use in the free delivery system. The charge made is that there was collusion between the committee that awarded the contract, Mr. Machen, the superintendent of the free delivery service, and some of the bidders. Among the affi- davits is one by ex-Postmaster General Wilson. He says the committee of award ccnsisted of A. B. Hurt, assistant superin- tendent of free delivery; Thos. B. Marche, chief clerk, division of free delivery, and Bernard Goode, superintendent of the dead letter office. None of them was dependent on Superintendent Machen for appointment or retention. The reason Superintendent Machen was not put on the committee, as has always been the custom, was that he had explained to the Postmaster Gen- eral that among the bidders was the com- piainant, with whom he had reason to be- lieve a cousin, A. <i J. Machen, was inter- ested, and that the success of Wynn's bid — give rise to suspicion of unfairness iu the competition.
