THE HEAD-LETTER OPFICE.
ralllng-n.T In lb amlr of l'lra
nf Mall tMl.illre.ted.
Very few persons have any clear or
finite knowledge of the extent of the
trutloim of the dead-letter office of
postofflre department say the New
rk Hun. It U known In a general
y that misdirected letters are trans-
ited to the postofflce department In
aahlngton and there are opened and
possible redirected either to the
nder or the addressee. The number
lettera and papers lent to the dead-
ler office In a year la G.5O0.OOO. Of
ise E.SOO.OnO ar what It called ordl-
ry unclaimed letter 165000 foreign
ten misdirected by people In the
tiled 8tatea to persons abroad and
out 30.000 letters written to fictitious
dresnea while 5O0.VOO letters In a
ar are mailed by people In other
entries to Incorrect addresses In the
kited Elates.
According to the last postoftlc report
ire than 30.000 letters sent to the
d-lettr offlro contained money to
gross amount of 150000; SO.000
ier letters contained diaft notes.
d and checks to the amount of more
id tl.500.CKM A majority of the
nejr and the eTldenres of Indebted-
were returned to the owners but
t year 1300.000 In checks and note
1 (10.000 In cash reniaiued unclaimed
d undistributed. The number of
arrets sent to the dead-letter office Is
not large. More than 35.000 letters
finding their way to the dead-letter
office yearly contain photographs. A
ery large proportion of the matter
which reAcheg the office does so not be-
cause of any defects In the postofflc
system but because of wnnt of care on
the part of the patrons of the malls.
It would not be possible to state the
proportion In figures because the tech-
nical distinctions of "held for pontage"
"misdirected." etc. Include letters
which while properly prepared and
dispatched according to the addresses
still full of successful delivery by res-
kid f. nosty and careless directions
confusion arising from offices of the
same or simitar namei In different
states and other causis. It Is a pe-
culiar f-u'l that while many persons are
XtrenHjr careful of their penmanship
iu limiting letters to persons who are
familiar with their writing they are
slngiilurly negligent In addressing the j
envelope whicn Is to it r'i uy per-
sons unfamiliar with t.e writing vet
7iKn whose ability to r.ad it Is depend-
ent the safe delivery of the letter.
The Inrrrasc cf the business of the
dead-letter office which continued rarh
)ear until alout three years ago has
recently ceased and there Is a diminu-
tion In the volume of misdirected mail
matter. This Improvement Is ac-
counted for In part by the Improved
management of the -vostofflre depart-
ment but to greater extent by the
general diffusion of education among
writers.

President Andrews of Urown I'nlver-

notes that during the punt year the mil

financially. Though nothing was added

curities was so little Impaired and tin
Increase of fees from students so con-
siderable more than 114.000 In excess
of the largest amount ever previously
derived from this source that the de-
ficit for the year ended April 15 waf
found to be but U'.GC.r.t. All this was.
of course covered by the pledges mad
during the preceding year by generoui
friends of the university covered loo
by a draft of less than 14 per rent upon
each share guaranteed. This result It
the more gratifying In that It was not
made poiwible by any pinching or nn-
u.'tiul economies.

Tayne and James English Jr.. may be
said to be the leaders of this club. The
lledmont Driving club house In the ex-
position grounds is a Jolly place and
one that will be a source of much pleas-
ure and comfort during the full. It la a
quaint mono structure with Ivy-cover
ed chimneys and a broud open stone
portico shaded by tplcml.d trees. From
the ptuzzn one tiRs a fine view of the
buildings. There are other studies that
the artist or sentimental bachelor can
make from this vantnge-grotind for
every afternoon the belles of the city
drive out with their best beaux and
nop for a lemonade or something
stronger. If Gibson had not u'reudy ob-

When an occasional snow makes sleigh-
ing possible In the winter season you
will find a Jolly crowd gathered In the
club hallway sipping pleasant concoc-
tions and telling stories around the big
open fire. The club Is open to the wives
of members and their friends. The place
Is altogether pleasant and charming
and will prove a godwnd to those ex

Mrs. Thompson lias In ber social life
heretofore been noted for the brilliancy
and diatinrtlon of her entertainments
and durir.g the fair she wilt surpass ail
her former achievements. Ilrookwood Is
a perfect country home surrounded by
beaulif-.il grounds. These are cared for
by two Kugilsh gardeners and the

KtiRlish home. It Is only a half-mile
liejrnil the exposition grounds. The

gray-green popples and Its dc-p seat
upholstered in gray has a sense of

this room which has tieen the scene of
many un elaborate dlnnT and jolly
Chrlitmas frolic Mrs. Thompson will
give an entertainment In hr.-ior of Mrs.
Potter Palmer and the Georgetown
alumnae. It Is au Interesting fact that
the two women president were both
Georgetown girls and. of course Mrs.
Thompson will make the gathering of
the alumnae an e:peclat occasion.
There are a great many handsome
houses on I'eachtree. Among those
which visitors will notice most Is the

at this writing that

now upon us In

And this unhappy
m
condition Is due
so'ely to the split
In the college
world as a result of which Yole and
Princeton have amended the playing
code of last year in certain reepei-tn
and Harvard Cornell and the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania In others which
differ to such an extent that the rivul
factious will play in many ways a dif-
ferent game. Of course should Harvard
and Yaletfrree shortly to play a match
in other words agree to patch up a
truce In their present strained relations
the chances are strongly In favor of a
conference whose duty shall be the
adoption of rulea alike for all. Hut un-
til a game or no gsme la definitely set-
tled upon It seems unnecessary to enter
a discussion of the different amend-
menta In more than a general way.
Wiille Yale and Princeton have at-
tacked the rules governing momentum
plays. Harvard and her children have
left them severely alone. Thus the for-
mer allow only one player to start and
only three to group behind the line be-
fore the ball la put In play. That Is to
tay the renter guards and tackles must
retain their positions lu the Hue. while
the ends can only drop back a trifle.

tlioitRh not allowed inside the tacMe
positions. This change makes the game
In a n-.easure what It used to be In for-
mer yrars.
The fnlr-r.itrh rule however has
been attacked by both rides and in a
different way. For Instance the Yale
nd Princeton rules do not require that
the man Intending to make the fair
at. h shall hold up his hand He Is re-
quired however to make a mark with
"lis heel and must not advance beyond
that murk. Harvard & Co. on the other
hand permit the catcher to pass the
ball to one of his own side who ran
ruu with It or kick It. Otherwise the
ball must be put In play at th spot
where the catch was made. Other
changes are these: Rule twenty-five
a amended by llurvard I'nlvrrslly of
Pennsylvania and Cornell reads: "No
player shall lay his hands upon or by
the use of his hands or arms Interfere
with an opponent before the bull Is put
In play. After the ball Is put In play
the players of the side that has posses-
sion of the ball eau obstruct the op-
ponents with tho body only except the
player who runs wl'ii the ball. Hut the
player of the side which haa not the
ball ran use nand'i and arms to push
the opponents ot i'. '.he way In brok-
ing through."
As amended hc Vale end Prilceton
this rule reads: "A pluyer Is put off side
If. during a serin tiiage he gels In front
of the ball or if the ball hus been last
touched by one of his own side behind
him. No player ran. however be railed
oft aide In his own goal. No player
when off side shall touch the ball ex-
cept on fumble In scrimmage nor with
his hands or arms Interrupt or obstruct
an opponent until again oa aide."
Respecting the officials of the game
while the one or the Val party will be
governed by one umpire a referee.
linesman an I an assistant linesman
the other will have two umpire a ref-
er and a linesman all of whom
"shall be nominated by the captain

dull of thts latttr body comprise th
giving of testimony by th referee to
Utter of th umpire of all vase of
fouls as aeen by him and the umpire
ar la duty bound to acrept such tetli-
niony as conclusive and forthwith Im-
pose the proper penalty.
The Yale officials one aud all are em-
powered to dlsquulify a play-jr. though
a derision of this nature must be ap-
proved by the umpire.
