The Attempt to Oust Treasurer Dodge THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS WILL NOT YIELD TO 17. This morning @ delegation from the “Re- pao m Central Committee,” so-called, consisting of Messrs. John H. Coox, Perry H. Carson, Wm. H. Lucas, Walter Middle- ton, J. A. Clark, Staniey Lawson, H. M. Willans, Georg and others, tcd upon the District Commissioners 10 relation to the appointment of Robert P. Dodge as District Treasurer. It will be re- membered that at a meetiag of the Central Committee on Friday night last considera- bie dissatisfaction was expressed during the discussion of this subject on account of the aileged democratic prociivities of Mr. Dodge, the committee taking the ground that the District appointments should all be republicans. ‘The Commissioners were ail present at the interview today, and Mr. John H. Cook, as spokesman of the delegation, addressed the Commissioners and read @ long paper, clos- ing as follows: In conclusion, with the earn- €st and vigorous appeal now making to the people of the country toentrust the govera- Ment, state and na al, to republicans. we respectfully suggest, for apy 5. that you should hot knowin y appoint and continve & Gemoerat in the office of treasurer Of the District of Columbia, especially when fo many capable republicans may be found to assume the duties of the office. We sug- gest that were an elective government given the people of the District to-day, you would, upon reflection, be slow to advise republl- cans to select & democrat as candidate for the office of treasurer of the District, when there might be found scores of republicans eminently fitted for the position. Entertain- ing these views, and advised as above, we earoestiy but respectfully press them upon your atiention, and indulge the hope that You will reconsider the selection already made and appoint a capable and sound re- Publican to the office of treasurer of the Dis- triet of Columbia. [Signed by the members of the delegation. } WHAT THE COMMISSIO’ SAY. In answer the Commissioners stated that Col. Dodge was appointed treasurer, not be- cause he was @democrat—if such te be, as to which the delegation were promably better Informed than they—but beeu.+e of their persoval knowledge of bis character, and of Wwe testimonials from leading citizens of the District as to bis fitness for the duties of the office. They know him to have been faithfal to the Union cause during the war,as pay- master of the army, and had heard no com- piaint of bis appointment last year ag a member of the board of assessors. lie was appointed because of his eminent fitness for the responsible trust of treasurer, tne <iuties of wbich they have no doubt he will dis- charge with Inteliigence and fidelity. At the time of bis appointment it was thongat there was a defalcation in the treasury, and the pudlic interests demanded the immedi. ate appointment of a treasurer. Col. Dodge bas enterea upon bis duties, having filed his bord, In the sum of $100,000, with sureties that make it entirely responsibie. The Com- missionars w ot feel it their duty to dis- im in bis office as long as he performs bis duties faithfully and to their satisfac- tion. The delegation then took leave. A Boy Shoots Mis Mother.

He fell from his horse, was caught in the stirrup and dragged until his brains were dashed out. Robert was captain of the bark Griffin, owned by the famous ‘Pet.” In ithe carried round the Horn to Califor- nia, in 1348, Pet, Abe, Fraak and other Newarkers, among the first at the old fields. The captain was carried off in is prime by an attack of “Yellow Jack.” The terrible fate of “Pet,” the most famous of all the Halsteds, is yet fresh in the public mind. A woman of Babylon, the mistress of @ charcoal dealer named George Botts, wiled Pet from bis household is and to his death at the hands of Botts. Not long after, Abe Halsted, the fourth of the brothers, had both Jegs mangled by a horse-car accideat so that hedied. His friends said he was assisting a lady when he was caught under the wheels. And now comes Frank, whose body was found drowned in Minnetoaka lake, Wis., a few days ago, with a sack of stone about his neck. A coroner's jury says he snicided, but bis father thinks difterentl: nd has sent bis son, Major George B. ted, to look after the deceased’s interest in the West, and bring the body home for inter- ment.

All great engravings are done in “line”— simply straight lines. Next comes “line and stippie.” “Stipple” means dots—smail dots like these ........ These small dots are used to lighten up the high parts of the face or drapery. It ts very hard to engrave a face in lines simply, and only masier engravers have ever undertaken it.
