HD. BARR SISTERS OF ST. MARGARET. A House of a Famous Order to be Es- tablished in St. James’ Parish. ‘The members of Bt. James’ Protestant Episco- pal parish are much pleased at the prospect of having in thelr parish, in conneetion with their church on 8th street east, a house of the Sister- hood of St, Margaret. The sisterhood has ac cepted an invitation recently extended to them to come and engage permanently in work in the parish. It is expected that as soon as Proper arrangements can be made, a house of the order will be established in the parish. The church will glve a lot of ground tor the erection ofasuitable house, Meanwhile the sisters who are sent here will be provided for in a rented house, SISTERHOODS IN THE ENGLISH CHURCH, “There are in the English church,” sald a member of St. James’ parish, to whom a STAR reporter applied for information, “several very Tromisent and Influential sisterhoods, notably, Margaret's, All Suints’, St. John, the Baptist, a St. Mary's, the last named having origi- nated in America, These various ststerhoods have houses in England, Scotland, Canada, South Africa, the United’ States, India, and many other of the world. ‘The nuinbers of the sisters and their influence is Cas daily throughout the church, The first English sisterhoods met with many trials and discour- agements on account of the bigotry of mem- bers of the church, and many of their members were publicly insul! in the streets of London and elsewhere. This opposition has now en- tirely passed away, and now, in many dioceses in which houses have not'been established, great eagerness is manifested to secure the presence of the sisters, HOW THE SISTERHOOD WAS FOUNDED, “The Sisterhood of Saint Margaret invited to St. James’ parish,” continued the speaker, “was founded by Rev. Dr. John Mason Neale, one of the most learned and zealous of the body of English clergy who engaged about forty years ugo in the wonderful revival which has taken place within the English church,and commonly called at that time the Oxford movement. Dr. Neale was celebrate | as an oriental scholar and historian, He was at the same time with Keble, oue of the principal poets of the Englist chu: Many of the hymns in present use by the various denominations owe their origin to his translations from eastern sources. Dr. Neale, like ali the early participants in the Ox- ford movement, was subjected to a sort of ecclesiastical ostracism, and, with all his talent and ripe scholarship, Was only rector of » small English pari: One dreary fall afternoon, in the midst of a pouring rain, as he sat looking out of his study window upon the dismal scene before him, he felt the utter inadequacy of the means.t his command to deal with all the wants of the poor of his parish. When a few days afterward he spoke of this to a lady, she said, ‘Why not have a sisterhood, I will be the first sister.” He accepted her offer gladty and from this small beginning the sisterhood of St. Margaret has grown to its present proportions, The chief duty of the sisters was the nursing of the sick poor in theirown homes, and in the performance of such duties the sisters were con- stantly exposed to danger. Dr. Neale did not belleve that women could bear such trials un- less strengthened by the higiest spiritual privi- lees, The sisterhood, with its habit and discl- pline, was therefore founded upon the lines laid down by him. ‘The sisters of St. Margaret, true to the original character of tne order, still de- vote themselves to nursing, and especially in cases of contagious diseases.” They appeared at Memphis when the yellow fever ravaged that elty and several members of the order have been detailed for work in Canada during the prevalence of smallpox there. In additfon to such duties, however, they conduct schoois, work upon ‘church embroideries, and enguge in various churltable works in ‘the parishes where their houses are to be found. Their prin- cipal house in America is in Boston, and is con- nected with the Church of the Advent.” THEIR HABIT AND DISCIPLINE. The Sisters of St, Margaret wear a habit of dark brown cloth, with a black vell to drape their heads, There are among the ladies of ‘Washington several associate members of the sisterhood who are not under the discipline, but enjoy certain of the privileges of the sister- hood. ‘The members of the sisterhood take upon’ them: are under discipline very much like that of the Sisters of Charity of the Roman Catholic church, “The beginning of the sisterhood here,” said the member of St. James, “will be in the same small way as that of the chureh itsel IL house will be rented by the Siste their means will Justity, untii a proper und con- venient house ean be erected in connection with the various bulidings of the parish.” ‘Transfers of Real Estate.

A Talk With the Peandmaster About Canines in the District. POUNDMEN WHO ARE FREQUENTLY BITTEN BUT NEVER HAVE RABIES—THE NUMBER OF DOGS IN THE CITY—WHY MR, EINSTEIN THINKS WASHINGTON 18 OOMPARATIVELY SAFE FROM HYDROPHOBIA, “1 never knew of a case of hydrophobis here,” said Mr. 8, Einstein, the poundmaster,in answer toa question asked by a Sra reporter. “There have been cases reported at the time they oo curred as hydrophobia, but they did not ter- minate fatally. In Alexandria, in 1865 or 1866, a German who lived upon the hill, near Fort Ellsworth, died from hydrophobia. He had several Spitz dogs and was bitten by one ofthem. Thatis the only case in this vicinity that [have ever known of. A few years ago there was someting said of a case of hydropho- bia on Georgetown heights, near Tenallytown. The boy, however, did not die. Genuine hy- drophobla, as I understand it, has always proved fatal—at least until lately—when a lady Is said to have been cured by ® Turkish bath, and Pasteur is said to have succeeded in effect- ing cures. Inever saw mad dog except one in Germany, in 1862. That dog attracted no- {ice by running around and shying at every- thing. A party of men and boys started after him.” They headed him offso that he had to run towards a stream, When he got to the Stream he began having fits and was killed.” ‘THE EXPERIENCE OF POUND MEN. “Are not your men frequently bitten by dogs?” asked the reporter. “I have been at the pound now since March, 1878,” said Mr. Einstein. “I have had em- ployed there since then, I suppose twenty or twenty-five differsnt men as laborers, Every- one of them, without exception, has been bit- ten by dogs, ‘not once only, but several times. One man named James Miller was bitten vel badly on both hands and on the knee. He worked for several years after thut and died of consumption. Soveral of the men who have been employed at the pound are dead, but all have died” natural deaths, Pat Hawkins, Alonzo Perry, Andrew Elliott and others were bitten, The Severest bite was one given to Albert Fortune, who is employed at the pound now. A wholé joint of his third finger was bitten off by a dog that I would calla mixtare between a bull dog and a shepherd dog, an ant- mal that weighed about 50 pounds. Albert, in order to put the dog Into the pen grabbed him buck of the ears. Oue of his fingers slipped down too near the dog’s jaw, and the dog turn- ing his head suddeniy, 51 off the joint. Albert had asore ‘band for over six moaths. When his hand gets very cold now he suffers terribly with that finger, Scott Mudd, another employe, was bitten very badly once in the right thun I thought the wound would never he Dr. Townshend treated him for nearly a yt Jostiua Murphy, another ginploye, has becn bitten, I suppose John Wells, who has been there ionger than any of the others, has been bitten at least twenty umes, besides having shot himself in the hand onee while ktlling the dogs, Ican name a. many—Shirley Williams, Joe Burroughs, PI Meredith, Charlie Willtams—all of whom ‘hi been bitten and who are just as hearty to-day as when I first knew them, They have ail been bitten by different "kinds of dogs, ‘The men when they have been bitten have insisted on killing the dog at once, though the law requires that the dog shall be kept in pound for 48 hours, No, they have not said that they thought tt would prevent hydrophobia if the dog was killed. ‘hey. ine that they want to kill the dOg to prevent his biting some one else. T have always reasoned them out of killing the dog, except in cases where the animal made a savage and unprovoked attack on the man. ‘When a dog which has bitten a man at the pound is redeemed, I have generally kept a ‘atch to see where it goes. I tell the owner in ci Ubat the dog bit one ofour men. The owner generally seems glad of it, and some- times says he is glad, Often when our men catch 2 dog in the street men will stand by urging the dog on, saying ‘Sic him, bite him,’ and endeayor to make him bite’ the pound man,” WHY D0G BITES HRBL SLOWLY. “Why does a dog-bite require so long to healt” inquired the reporter. “The tooth of a dog isa blunt instrument, It does not cat, but mashes. The teeth tear the flesh, That is one reason ang bites take solong 1. Then the saliva and the matter on the teeth is poisonous. If a man bites another, bis tooth may poison the blood of the other, and, in ¥, a dog's tooth, or the tooth of nimal, may poison a man’s blood.” “W hy are Spitz dogs regarded as nore dauger- ous than other dogs?” “This country, in my opinion,” said the pounAn ase, o too warm for Spitz dogs. hen there was some excitement over Spitz dogs, several years ago, a good many such doses Were taken to the pound. In proportion to their numbers, we have kilied more Spitz dogs than biaek and tan or Scotch terriers. Ido not remember of any sach dog being redeemed or lied for at the pound uniess It was a licensed Ido not think there are many in the city not more than fifty, These dogs have a peculiariy shaped head, and are vicious little things, and their bite is nore apt to be poison- ous than that of others, In the summer they are continually puffing and slobbering, and seem altogether unfitt for this climate.’ WASHINGTON COMPARATIVELY SAFE. “We are not Ifable to have an ontbreak of hy- drophobia here. We have very few tramp dogs in this city, and it would be a hard matter for hydrophobia to spread in the District. We take up dogs all the year around. It the emer- gency should arise, we could, almost at a mo- ment’s notice, double our forces, and soon gather up all the uniteensed doga in the city. {think dogs without a home and kicked about the streets and always scared and sick are more likely to have hydrophobla than licensed dogs that are well cared for. Then such a dog, if it bites, is more likely to poison the blood than a dog in good health. When I first took charge of the pound, in1873, the ordinance re- guess: dogs to be muzzled from June 15 to Sepember 15. In three months we got away with @ thousand or” twelve ‘bunared dogs. I saw, however, that the number of the dogs’ jwas ingreasing, and “upon my recommendation the time was ex- tended two months, from May 15, to October 16. In 1878 the law requiring dogs to be licensed went into force, and we in to take up dogs the whole year around, if we had been taking dogs the whole year around since 1873 we would have had the dogs pretty well under control now.” THE DOG POPULATION, “How many dogs are there in the District?” in- quired the reporter. “I have told the authorities,” said Mr, Ein- stein, “that there are from 12,000 to 15,000 dogs ‘within the city limits, and in the county from 3,000 to 5, more. We know there are al number of unlicensed dogs within the city Hmits now, as we pick up from forty a day. There are between 6,000 and 7,000 dogs icensed now. If the dog tax law Was more strictly enforced it would be still better. In August and Gayla when the Police were bringing charges in the Police Court against owners Df unlicensed dogs, there were hundreds of cates where péople left orders for the pound wagon to call for thelr dogs. ‘There are some folks who think we ought to raid the dogs at night. We made an experiment, col- lecting dogs.at night, but it would not work. In te frat place you cannot see whether a dog & tag much time, and then the men are very apt to be bitten ag they cannot see how to haiidie the said Mr. Einstein, “Ido not think there bility of hydropnobia, spreading to nt in I think the chances ity. ‘drophobla are less here than In any other city, for this 1s the only city, ‘pound ‘the whole year round. mene key ‘whole year: e law gives the Commissioners power to order that all dogs be muzzled.

The secretary’s report showed that the society has 130 mem- bers. ‘The report contained a recommendation HOPLIFTERS AND THEIR WAYS. Precautions Which Storekeepers Take Against Nimble-Suagered Thieves. During Christmas week, when the stores are crowded with purchasers, the shoplifters have ‘an opportunity for plying their vocation that is not neglected. The business men know this and they redouble their precautions and en- deavor to protect themselves as far as possible from the thieving hands of pretended custo- mers, “We cannot protect ourselves entirely,” ob- served a floor-walker in one of the largest es tablishments in the city, “because the methods ofeach individual thief are different, and then again on accountof the great crowds in the stores,” “What precautions do you adopt?” inquired the reporter. “Wo have in the first place,” was the reply, “the floor-walkers, who are expected to Keep & close watch of the particular part of the store Where they are placed, and then we have the sales people. But we have to be very careful. ‘Wemay have suspicions of some person on ac- count of their way of acting, and may be toler- ably sure that they have something hidden ‘ay, Dut unless we are certain. it is danger- ous t6 approach the person directiy, because in so doing we may offend some custome! “I suppose that you find @ good many klepto- maniacs,” sald the reporter. “[have heard that word frequently used in regard to shop lifters,” said the man with a Thugh, “but I don't take much stock in it.

MAIL How the Speculative Bidder is Said to Benefit the Government by Keeping Down Prices. The clerks in the office of the Second Assistant Postmaster General willbe very much occupied next month in looking over the bids which are now being received for carrying the mails on the star and steamboat routes in the western section of the country. As is known, the coun- try is divided into four sections, and each year contracts are awarded for.carrying the mails in one of these sections for the four ensuing years. The value of the service thus contracted for is about three millions of dollars, which the gov- ernment pays in addition to the compensation given to railroads, which forms another branch of the mail service. The western section comprises all the country west of the Missouri, and the railroad ‘service is prob- ably less than in any other section, and hence the star service 1s more extensive in use. Four years ago, when these contrac were awarded, the rales obtained by the gov ernment were, it is claimed by the contractors, too low, and'in consequence they have rot made much money. It is hoped that better prices will be allowed this year, alth« rh, natu- Tally, there is no disposition on'the part of the vernment officials to have the expenditure for this service increased. The ‘speculative contractor has a great deal to do with low bid- ding, for the reason that he gets a large number of contracts, which he sublets either at the same price paid him by the government or for more, When aman has four or five hundred contracts he can afford to sublet one here and there at a profit of $10 oF $20, because on we oo. pre Le makes eee a rofit, and as long as the average brings a ance in his favor he is not Inclined to make ‘great profit on every one ol his contracts. In fact, he could not doit if he chose, because in order to get the contract he is obliged to bid low in order {9 ‘beat the local competitor,or the man who will actually do the service, and the conse- quence is that the actual mail ¢arrier has the great satisfaction, while going through with the fatigue of performing the service, of Enowing some ‘that the rf into 0 ots ne else, whit inavalyiaab ioe hicesponece one ele while bi Naturally the local mail carrier hates the gen- eral or speculative bidder,but he brings the cost Of the service down to the government and that is a great consideration. Various measures of legislation have been devised to head off the speculative contractor, and one that was re- cently proposed, but never made intoa law, contemplated that the sureties on the bond ot 3 contractor should be Persons who resided in the vielnity of the route for watch the bid was made. This would prevent a bidder who lives in Washington and knows noone in Arizona from competing for a mall route in that terri- tory. ‘Because it would be effective in shutiing out ‘the speculative contractor to a large ex- tent such a law Is objected to in the interest of the government. Still it ts stated that there is not so much mouey in these mail contracts ax is supposed, and that the books of the depart- ment, where the contracts and -sub-contracts are placed on file, show that of the three million paid for this service but two hundred and. fity ‘thousand is profit, although the books do not show when the routes have been sold right out and other changes which might maké this amount somewhat large. or FAafan AccroEst To A Fretcnr TRars.— frbight train on the Chester Creek branch of (the Philadelphia, Wilmington and) Balti- more road left the track near Lenni yesterday. ‘The engineer was killed, one brakeman was badly injured and another brakeman and the fireman were slightly injured, Mam.

A telegram from Seranton, December 25, says: Schuyler Cole, Irving Griggs and Peleg Web- ster, of Spring Brook township, went over into the Big Bear swamp to look for game on Tues- day. They had no dog with them, but as the ground was bare and soft they expected tocome ‘across some bear tracks.
