This associa tion has for its sole purpose, the cut ting down of the present exorbitant rate on letter postage. ' ' "In 1843, letters of one-hatf ounce or less, were carried between New York City and Buffalo, a distance of fewer than five hundred miles for twenty-five cents, ' Similar high rates prevailed elsewhere. The act . of March 3rd, 1883, established the two cent rate which is still in vogue, de spite the fact that the postoffice de partment makes enormous profits from this class of mail every year. "In 1912, over 9,500,000,000 " pieces of first-class mail were carried by the postoffice department The cost of handling and carriage, according to the department was about- $100,000,000. The revenue collected was about $170,- 000,000, leaving a clear profit to the government , of about $70,000,000, : A proportionate profit has been made for each year of. the last score.

This evening . signalizes a kind of epoch making period in the scheme of local amusement. The incident re ferred to is the formal beginning of the Russell engagement and the com mencing of a new era of acted drama at Sherry's. Both are interesting events forming a happy combination in permitting Miss Russell to appear here thereby giving theatergoers an opportunity to see and enjoy dramatic presentation now and in the future. A steady growing interest has been observable ver since it was announc ed that Miss Russell and her company would play here. The idea of seeing an artist in a repertoire of excellent plays seemed to have hit the popular fancy. Many inquiries have been made regarding the company and it is safe to. predict a capacity audience will applaud Miss Russell's entrance on the stage. . "A Star by Mistake," a laughable comedy disclosing the humor of a the. atncai booking oiiice, will be pre sented this evening. WHITE CAT UNION SUITS "With Patent Kkwed Krotch."... .
