Superintendent of Construction Crnmer Is working on the plans now. Superintendent Cramer, Custodian .Tay lor and Postmaster Wharton have had several conferences on -tho matter and have decided, on tentative ptans for such a lobby. There Is at present a largo lobby for Uie money order department, and another for UiOt registry department. Tho Idea Is to segregate' In a measure the pfopfo who visit these places to trans act such business. As. the sending of par cels through the mall- un'der tho parcels liosUIs expected to be a largo branch of the activity a.the postoffice It waa de cided tho persons doing such business should also be segregated by a lobby The authorities feel that It would bo un satisfactory for persons to handle the parcels, get them weighed, and buy the stampi to stamp them all In tho general lobby of the postoffice when there Is a crowd on account of the confusion. There will likely be a window from the lobby where scales will ho kept and a man to do the weighing ul tho request of patrons. There will be doors through which the parcels can bo readily wheeled to tho mailing room in carts after they hav been dropped Into the slots. Parisian! Cloak Co.

Considerable sentiment, suggestions. etc., have been voiced by Interested citi zens, making It possible to settle on eomo suitable name for the new 11,000,000 hotel. Omaha as a city Is a distributing center universally known and In my opinion would be as spod it not the best name of any Heretofore, mentioned, a native of New York would not know any of tho names spoken ot as well as Omaha.
