Alternate colored blocks stood out proudly on the three-cornered paper baskets and tho cat's-stair handles gleamed with con trasting brilliancy. It was a dead secret that Newton Kirkham would hang a Slay basket "on" Edith Smith, nnd equally a dead secret that Edith would hong one for him. Then there was Lottie Dennis nnd Charlie Tripp and Nell Coolidgo and George Bills, and score more, all going to hang baskets in that mysterious manner so dear to the hearts ot children. Every one know that Lottio Dennis would receive more baskets than all tho other girls put together, but Lottie's big blue eyes, red cheeks, and long light-brown curls were worthy of such great attention. Besides. Lot tie was always so tboughttul of others that it was a pleasure to do something for nor In return. House & Herrmann, 91V, 9111, Ml, 523, SEVENTH STREET, OWNERSHIP OF TELEGRAPHS Important Hearing Before the Com mittee on Post Offices Yesterday. FAV0K OF FEDERAL CONTROL President Gompers, of the American Federa tion of Labor, and Messrs. Randall and Bell, of the International Typographical Union, Oppose Present Private Monopoly. Ahearinc was granted yesterday toy th Com mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads to repre sentatives of the International Typographical Union and tho American Federation of Labor, who made appeals for favorable recommenda tion on one or both of the bills Introduced In the Ilouse for the Government ownership of the tel egraph lines of the country. Resides the com- mittco and the gentlemen who addressed it there were present a number of representatives of the press and others Interested. Mr. A. L. Randall, chairman of the Interna tional Typographical Union's committee on gov ernment ownership and control of the telegraph, was the first speaker. lie outlined at some length tho history of the Western Union Com pany, and alleged that by far the larger part of Its stock was watered and that by the present rates of toll those sending messages were obliged to pay Interest on this watered stock. Re quoted the charges prevalent for telegraph serrlce In Great Britain, France, Germany, etc, showing that tho average price in this country was about twice what It Is In those countries abroad where the government controls the wires. As a further reason why the monopoly should not be a private one. Sir. Randall declared that preat news monopolies were being built up by the present system hlch resulted in excessive prices for news franchises, and therefore put an artificial limit on newspaper production. This, he said, kept a great many of his craft out of employment w ho otherwise would have work. Following Mr. Randall came Sir. tamuel Gom pers, president or ine American reuerauuu ui Labor. Restated that he did not Uc1re to go Into unnecessary details concerning tho statis tics of operation or ad m in lt ration of the tele graph. Re simply wished to bhow how great an injury was being done to all classes of the peo ple by tho private control of a great means of communication like the telegraph. He btated that all tho Postmasters General in recent years who had discussed tho question had come out repeatedly for government control of the tele graph and Insisted on Its natural connection with tho postal service. Homo of the mere re cent reports he dv. elt on in detalL With regard to tho benefits which would ac crue to tho people from a government owner ship. Sir. Gompers stated they were Innumera ble. Tho most Important was that there should bo cheap and easy communication for the mass of tho peoplo to all others who were within the limits of civilization. Ho cited the great educa ting power of tho postal pervice, and commented on its low rates for newspaper transmission through the maiK Re thought tho time would comowhen all great natural monopolies, and such artificial monopolies as telegraphs, rail roads, etc., must ultimately come under control of the people of tho country or control the peo ple, lie regarded this as only tho opening wedge. Sir. Gompers declared that he repre sented 800,000 people, and that there were others innumerable who shared In this opinion and in this demand. Sir. Gompers read at somo length from a re port by tho Post Office Committee of thoKorty sei enth Congress,and showed that the movement was by no means a new one. Re then discussed the financial course which ho thought the gov ernment ought to pursue should It control the telegraph. He thought it should be run on a reveuue basis, at least for the present. He thought It should be treated In all respects like the mall service. Experience would determine that question, as well as tho wisdom of having one or more tariff rates for distance. Ihese questions, he declared, were matters of ad ministration and need not be inquired Into at this moment. Inclosing Sir. Gompers thanked the committee for their courtesy in hearing his remarks, and ox Dressed the hope that they .might be fruitful in good results. lion. IL w. lilalr, oz JNew Hampshire, next ad dressed the committee. He said that he .had long favored a telegraphic system in connection with tho-postal service. Re traced the origin and growth of the mail service from the post mau up to the fast matl trains, and urged that our postal system would never be complete until the government had annexed both the telegraph and telephone as a part of It Sir. Blair then spoke of tho beneficial effects he felt sure would follow, not only to the business of the country by a substantial lowering of the telegraphic rates, but also in the speedy and cheap transmission of Intelligence among .the entire people. SI ore newspapers would be started everywhere, and the papers published In the smaller cities would be greatly improved, as they would be enabled to get the news on the same terms as those of larger places. He main tained that under tho present system the num ber of newspaper was restricted, and Instanced his own town, where for the last fifteen years there was a field for another paper, which could not bo suppliod, because parties desiring to es tablish cut) were shut out from obtaining tel egraphic news. Congressman Slagulre, of California, stated that he desired to make an extended argument later on, and requested that a subcommittee be appointed to conduct the hearings Chairman Henderson replied that a subcom mittee would bo appointed before the close of the session. Sir. S. J I. Bell, secretary of tho committee on governmental ownership and control of -the International Typographical Union, closed tho hearing by a brief address of about ten minutes, in which he summed up the case and urged that it was high time that action be taken. Ho emphasized the fact that the meansof com munication In every country should be undergov. ernment control and not reserved for a monopo listic corporation. He had given the mattercare ful atteution for many years and felt that it was one of the most important matters for tho people of this country of the middle classes. He also discussed tho question whether the service under government control ought to be revenue producing, and thought that it ought at the out set, although he Instanced the case of the trans mission of certain mail matter, especially news paper publications, at a loss, as a defense for experimenting with low figures and recogniz ing the educatioml advantages of cheap tolls and communication. Altopether tho hearing was a very satisfac tory one, and tho consideration of the subject will be resumed at 11 o'clock this morning. New Torpedo Boats. Senator McPhcrson, chairman of the Commit tee on Naval Affairs, yesterday favorably re ported from that committee tho amendment to the naval appropriation bill authorizing the construction of twelve new torpedo boats. The amendment provides that the cost of the boats shall not erceed $200,000 each, and they are to be capable of making a speed of twenty-five knots per hour. A premium of $3,000 per knot Is to be added for speed in excess of twenty-five knots, nnd a penalty of that amount in case the speed of the boats fall below twenty-live knots. Eight of tho boats aro to be constructed east of the Rocky mountains and four on the Pacific coast. Tne Secretary of the Navy, In a letter to the chairman of the Committee on Naval Af fairs, says he should be glad If Congress shall determine to authorize the construction of these boats. He recommends the appropriation of Sl.100,000 in case the construction of the boats is authorized. Important Gathering for New Yort. Albany", N. Y., May 4.

Then there was Kittio Hied, tho new little girl with tho pale face and shy manner; no ono would ever thint of giving her a basket a child with such eyes, eyes that never smiled unless first smiled at. Kitty had never heard of a Jlay basket in all her life before, so she did not know how to weave them; and suppose she did know, alt her littlo playmates were away off in another country. Sho drew near a "set" of girls who were weaving baskets during the noon hour and looked on quietly. Some of girls spread their handkerchiefs over their work a3 if they thought Kittle's gaze entirely too penetrating, but Lottie Dennis picked up the paper scraps from off the end of her seat and motioned her to a seat beside her. "Is your name Kittle?" was Lottie's first question. 'Tes." said Kittle;" "and your namo is Lottie?" And that is the way they became acquainted. 'Can you make May baskets?'' Lottie asked. "No," answered Kittle, feeling that she was admitting some crime by acknowledging that J UNITED STITES KGHDEMY J OF j MEDICINE AND SURGERY, 807-809-811 14th ST. N. W., BET.

Because, if they don't like you they put old mud in and cabbage leaves and grass and all kinds of things, and then you get awfully mad." "Oh!" said Kittle again.

It was decided that Kittie and Lottio would go oat together just as soon as it got dark to hang their baskets "on" their tittle beaux. While Kittle was arranging her basket, pat ting the candy In the bottom and tho flowers on the top, a tremendous knock sounded on the front door and made the little randy hearts in the bottom of the basket thump with excitement. Kittle ran quickly to the door and opened itt "Ob. a May basket! Oh oh oh !!" Then, she sat on the floor and took ont Last Chance! Every article named below is being sold at an actual loss.

No sooner did Kittle pat ont the light and cuddle down in bed than the bleeding hearts dropped the pink mantles from around their necks, placed their arms akimbo, and danced until the green stem on which they stood trembled -violently from their exertions, and the baby bleeding-hearts on the end of the stem wars in imminent danger of being dashed to the ground and shattered to pieces.

"And to-morrow ye die," said the Jonquil, In a prophetic tone. "Ha, ha, ha!" lauched the Bleeding-heart, "so you camo from Doctor Spencer's garden patch? Well, that's good! But the witches are out to-night. Now, there is your cousin, the Arbutus, hiding under dead leaves, and breathing sweetness for other folks from morning until night: do you think she is any better than we who dress up and are gay?" At this the Arbutus blushed and sighed, but the Jonquil was so ruffled at the Bleeding-heart's flippant manner that he turntd on bis heel and walked avtay. "Forget-me-not!" cried little Gum Heart in the bottom of the basket, as she saw the Jon quil turning away, for he was her first love and she had been, content to lie at his feet and worship him. Bat the Jonquil never turned back. And the Candy Hearts sang, taunt ingly: "Good-bye, Johnnie, while you are away. Write her a letter, love, send her a letter, lore; Don't forget your Gum-heart darling," Helen Blackball, in The Epitome. 13 B sB ..- uimkMki . Aft&-fejr4.,i:-e.-?5-. - ;Ls? i.
