Hundreds of people have a different opinion now—since the expose last Sunday—of that department store who objected to our using the name of the maker of the slightly soiled muslin under- wear which created such a sensation. Since you've seen what really splendid garments they are—and how remarkably cheap—the buy- ing has been immense. Two more lots go on sale today—one consisting of the very finest garments to be had—the nov elties for which most stores get “fancy” prices.

Circular Issued by Postmaster Willet —Ultimatum Presented by the Physicians—Situation Discussed. A feature in the fight for lower telephone rates which the druggists of the city are making, and which has been thought as likely to be a troublesome factor, is the "phones in the drug stores where there is also a postal substation. It was supposed that possibly it would be necessary to re- tain the slot machine in use, but the fol- lowing letter from the city postmaster, Mr. James F. Willett, addressed to superintend- ents of substations relieves the situation: “You are hereby notified that the Post The Wonderful Carlsbad Springs. At the Ninth International Medi- cal Congress, Dr. Toboldt read a paper stating that out of thirty cases treated with the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, for*constipa- tion, chronic catarrh and liver dis- cases, twenty-six were entirely cured, three much improved, and one not treated long enough. Best results obtained when out-door exercise can be had. Be sure to buy the “genu- ine,” which must have the signature of “EISNER & MENDELSON CO., Agents, New York,” on every bottle. Dr. Toboldt’s lecture mailed free upon sat THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Office Department has a contract with the |. Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com- pany for the instrument now in your sta- tion, which does not expire until one year from date of contract, and that under the terms of this contract the telephone can be used on official business by any one who may wish to cail up the main office or any station or substation. The instrument to be allowed to remain on your prem ises, and, in the event of any controversy between you and the telephone company, it is to be used only on post office business, and is not to be considered a public tele- phone.” Meeting of Association. A meeting of the association of druggisis was held this morning to especially co: der this matter, and as a result the secr tery was directed “to notify members -ha ing branch post offices to request the tele- phone company to remove the slot mac! within ten days, a rental of $10 per month being charged in case the machines are not removed, and if it is necessary for the business of the post office to have a ‘phone on the premises, an ordinary instrument will be placed there.” Edwards & Wilson, a firm connected with the association, in whose store there is a substation, have, after taking legal advice, notified the telephone company to remove the slot machine from their store, and if it is not removed in ten days a charge of $10 per montn will be made. President Harper's Views. “I understand the telephone company is much disturbed," remarked President Harper of the Druggists’ Association this morning to a Star reporter, “because th> public is inconvenienced by reason of the action of the druggists in ordering the tele- Phones to be taken out of their stores. As the company som2 time ago deprived the public of the convenience of using tele- phones in drug stores in calling a doctor in case of ok gency call, i eration of th managers rather lat the drug the com: custom-rs 2ar public on the part o the te enience of the public, and t tions made by the company requiring a fee of 10 cents for the use of the instrumeri is y looked upon as unjust. Our fight is the public Granting, however, that the people do suffer an inconvenience, I think it will be conceded tha: it is better to endure a tempo- rary disaavantage than to continue to suf- f-r under the excessive charges and the ex- actions of the telephone monopoly. By the Ast of July, in my opinion, we will have telephones with unlimited service at $0 per yas Action by the Physicia: A committee, representing the doctors of the city, called on President Bryan of the telephone company, and verbally presented an ultimatum of reduced rates, unrestrict- ed service and secresy, or else no tele- phones. Mr. Bryan asked the committee to submit: their proposition in writing, se that he could ley it before the directors of the company ter consideration, whi reed to do. eee Pose for Charity. The tableaux vivants which are now be- ing rehearsed, and which will be given at the old Corcoran Art Gallery next Monday evening, M , for the wounded soldi. and sailers’ fund, promise a most charm- ing spectacle.

From the Boston Post. The record of the opening bicycle season has its warnings which it is well to heed. There is the case of Theodore Loeb of Long Island City, fifteen years old, who was in- spired to make a run of 120 miles and died at the finish. There is J. C. Knowles, who made a record of sixty centuries in sixty days a year or two ago, had been an in- valid ever since and was recently buried from Bellevue Hospital. There is that other youth who, overexerting himself in the effort to make a century run under ex- hausting conditions, has incapacitated him- self for ever mounting a wheel again. Any reader of the news of the day can add instances of misdirected enthusiasm in a sport which, enjoyed as it should be, is of the highest ‘and most invigorating in- fluence. And yet we hear of a misguided wheelman who has set himself the stint of 365 centuries in the calendar year; and in France, in the examinations for military service, the regimental surgeons are re- jecting professional bicyclers because of weakness of the heart. The “bicycle ueart” is a term that has already gained a place in_pathological nomenciature. This is the abuse which inevitably follows the popular adoption of any good thing, and fortunately the good which there is in the bicycle preponderates far over the evil causeil by its misuse. There stands to the credit of the wheel the most wonderful de- the American people, how much to their resources of rational enjoyment, how much to the education of the multitude of youth penned up in cities and ignorant of the glories and beauties of nature until reveal- to them in their courses a-wheel, who tell ? , then, strain for “‘centuries?” Why = honors of a “record” when permanent satisfaction ettgfen or tagy ans a a ie the em greater, more hy f *Want” ads. in The Star pay because they ——— Miss Allen and Paymaster Conard Will Be Married Tomorrow.
