Washington, May 11 P stmaaler-
General Hitchcock authorized the Post
master at New York to dm patch mail
to Washington on May 22 fry aeroplane
on request of a Washington aeroplane
company. The Postmaster General
napes that ultimately the regular trans
portation of mail by aeroplane may be
practicable.
Such a service, he suggests, if found
feasible might be established in many
district", especially in tbe West, where
the natural conditions restrict other
methods of rapid tr inspoi tut ion.
In tbe experiment between New York
and Washington an effort will be made
to carry at least one hundred pounds of
mail without stop. Under the ordor of
the Postmaster-General the aviator
must be sworn in as a mail carrier and
the transportation muat be without ex
penae to the Government The ma
chine will fly a pennant bearing the

The enterprise of the company has

now with Messrs. N. M. C an Co., of

which are now in use in New Bern. The

thf number is rapidly diminishing un
der the magnificent results achieved by
Mr. Sawyer. the company offers a
new $22.00 Vulcan Range for the beat
breakfast menu, while the up-to date
house wife who has availed herself of

ths Gas R nire and ever ready vulcan
water beater wf I find her interest
plrasintiy aroused by the offer of 6000
feet of gas free for the best letter on

We do not think Mr. Brooks will find
much leisure during h's stay hero for
there is sure to be a brisk demand for
his services among our lady friends.
His experience as a gas appliance ex
