For the past week the stores of Omalia have been crowded. Rainy weather, cloudy days and the numerous other little natural drawbacks of early spring have been no ob- stacle to the ladics. The strects have been lined daily with bright, vivacious, joyous women. The stores have been crowded with the thousands whose w funumerablo, Immense display advertis ments in Tur Bre have been read with as much care a8 the most interesting and latest French novel. Husbands have ben impor tuned and their pockets drained by loving wives and affectionate daughters. Al this commotion hus been caused by the approach of spring, the period when ladies, like b in their new plumage. about 1 that is ¥ s “fashionable” ‘v comin® “love of 4 bounet,” and so on. It is an old English custom, and one still in rogcuc in this country, for ladies to appear in their new attive on Easter Sunday. ‘The scason is now at hand, and. for the edifi- cation of the lady readers of Tur Bek, the following fucts hive been gleaned. S OMATERIAL, ntines, combination suits, satin raye, camelette and beige goods are the spring taking the lead, and with a surab silks comprise about all the qualities the ladics liave to seleet from.

People All Over the Com;&ry Are Becoming Interestgd, POINTERS FOR MR.- WANAMAKER. Operators Furnishing In Mr. Bell's Sound Business — Cultivation bf American Silk — Farmers' Alliance. WasmiNatoy, Aprit 8.<Staft Correspond enceof Tie Bre.—~It would appear from | communications being received at the post- | oftice department.thatthe people throughout the country are considerably stivved up over the postal telegraph question, The post- ipt of scores of let- ters every day from notouly the business | men, but the common people, who endorse his | proposition for a limited postal telegraph se vice, They say it will cost practically nothing to make the experiment, and if it proves to be | a failure no one, unless it be the monopolists, will be injured. Mr. Wanamaker receives a groat many let- ters from telegraph operators giving the pr tical side of the question. His attention has been called to the fact that the ires now in existence are yery inferior to those which werein use before the absorption of the Baltimore & Ohio, and before the only rival to the great telegraph corporation was wiped out of existence. The operators report that since the Bultimore & Ohio was extinguished, the great tetegraph corporatlon is indifferent as 1o its lines, not haying anything to spur it up to superic When there is heavy weather or storms sweep over the country the tele- graph service is_prostrated now, whereas a few years ago telegrams could be going over the ¢ in some kind of shape in almost ather and in almost all cmer- gencies have been great improve ments made in the telegraph systems dnring the past four o five years, but it appears that none of these have been taken advantage of by the telegraph corporation, T son is obvious. There is no necessity for a corpora- tion which occupies the ficld and has a monopoly to spend its money in the ¢ of improvements, All business must into the hands of this company any way. The proposition of ~ Mr. Wanamaker is told in a sentence. It s for the government to give all of its facilities in the way of wires and buildings und the use of the postoftice service for telegraph pur- poses, and to receive bids from private par- ties who wish to uccept these facilitics and furnish the government and the people with a telegraph service with fixed schedule prices, which must be 50 per cent lower than the tariff charged at present. There is no doubt that a private corporation could lease the wires now held by existing companies or build | new lines, and with_the facilities which the wovernment can afford produce a telegraph e ut one-half the present rates, which would be equally as satisfactory. 1t is pro- posed to deliver telegrams through the mails the siume as letters where there is no vush or- dered, and where immediate delivery is e quired to furnish it by ‘special delivery statips. The contract can be given for poriod of either ten, fifteen or twenty years, and if the service should not prove safisfac- tory to the people or the government the. con- tract can then be permitted to go by default. | Among the persons who lave shown the | greatest interest in the proposition ave the Knights of Labor and tha newspaper pub- lishers in the country distvicts, Heavy pat- rons of the wires can get such large reduc. tions in rates that they ave naturally indiffer. ent to a lurge degree. V HeWs- papers wanting a_press veport, are showing | great interest. They know that they could wet a cheaper telegraphic: service, whereas at present it is impossible. Undoubtedly postal telegraphy has made greator advances under M. Wanamaker than_ever before. Whether that ofticer succeeds in_accomplishing postal telegrapliy or not, he will-have given it such an impetus that the agitation wilt go forward to u termination at a day not far distant. w 2o * Members of the housé who have business with the postoftice department * unanimous in their praise of Postmaster General Wana- maker’s selection of a_superintendent of the | ralway mwail ser Mr. J.
