A Butcher's Lament—How Folks Cut Down on Their Bills in This Season. A butcher was standing in his stall on Friday morning looking gloomily over a column of profits and losses, when a STAR man passed through the market. The choicest cuts of steaks and roasts hung upon the hooks, and no customers stood near. The butcher and the Srar man were the only ones there. “How is meat selling?” asked the reporter. The man looked up with astart, Then, with a look of disgust as if he thought he was being trided with, he turned back to his profits and Josses, condescending merely to mutter some- thing about Friday in Lent. But he was a ood-natured and affable fellow, after all, and fie turned In a minute from his figures, and, on finding that the reporter was seeking informa- tion, gave him all he wanted. “Lent,” he said, “is hard on us butchers. Our sales drop off terribly. I never knew if to be worse than it js this year. All through the week there 1s a falling off in the sales, and on gach fast day there is a drop of from $30 to $40. The rich and poor alike are keeping Lent.” “Why? are the people getting more religious?” asked the reporter. “No; it’s the change of administration.” “Change of administration?” “Yen “Why, how can thateffect Lent? Dodemo- crats eat less meat?” “It ain't the democrats,nor the religion. Folks are saving. The clerks have been cutting down on meat ever since the new administration came in,and for lentithey are cutting still lower. Whenever folks want to economize they start on meat. Instead of having it — every day they wilihave it only once or twice a week. If they are very saving its only once a week; if flush its maybe twice @day. That's the way it goes. When folks have been very extrava- gant the reaction is on meat. When they have spent too much money duritig the social season they try to make up for iton meat. ‘The aver- age daily cost of meat to some of our fashion- able customers Is $6 or $7. This is quite an item saved during lent. “Thereare 40 days, say minus 4,—36 times seven dollars, $252. Now by saving in other directions it makes up quite asum. But the buteners suffer worse than any- body élse. Of course some folks buy fish and oysiers, but many prefer to get the financial benefit of lent.” —— Base Ball in Court. ASUIT FOR SETTLEMENT OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE NATIONAL CLUB. Today, Mr. D.E. Cahill, for James Ragan and Daniel O'Brien, filed a bill for a discovery and account against Robert C. Hewitt, Charles E.

A BEGINNING MADE ATTHE HIGH SCHOOL— THE WORKSHOP AND THE COURSE OF INSTRUO- The latest addition to the course of study at the High school will be regarded by many as a movement in the right direction, At the open- ing of the school last fall, steps were taken toward the establishment of a work-shop in which the boys might (gain a knowledge, radi- mentary, of course, of the use of common tools and machines, While visiting the school, Com- missioner Webb became interested in the plan, and to his attention and care is due the fact that the shop is now ready for use. The shop is situated in one of the basement rooms of the building, the motive power being furnished by an engine of eight-horse power which is also used for running the ventilating fan. The equipment of the shop’ at present ‘Fnciudes tor work in wood, a lathe, a twelve-inch circular saw, two cabihet work benches, of the latest improved pattern, and sets of tools for twelve boys. With this outfit it is expected that the members of the class will do some very good, work. ‘The “Manual Training Room,” as it is called, is to be under the general supervision of Mr. C,H. Koyl, the instructor in physics, and lately a fellow of Johns. pacpeog university, in Balti- more. With the aid of information furnished by Gen. Eaton, commissioner of education, Mr. Koy! last summer investigated the meth- ods and appliances used in the various technol- ogical schools of this country, and has now ar- ranged the work in the shop a8 follows: Duriny the first year the pupils are taught the use ant care of wooa-working tools, in the Second year of metal-working tools, and in the third year they will undertake the construction of ma- chines from drawings made by themselves. In addition, the shop will be made an ad- Junet to the work in physics, the pupils in that study being thus enabled to make a large part of the apparatus with which they perform ex- periments. In this way they me thor- oughly acquainted with the principles involved in the instrument, which in any other case would be much more difficult to understand, Affairs in West Washington. THe THIRTEENTH BUILDING ASSOCLATION.— Ata meeting of the Thirteenth Building asso- ciation last e ing Wm. Tayloe Snyder was ciected attorney of the association to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Cassin, Mr, Leetch, the secretary pro tem., stated he had as yet been unable to get up a tull list of the indebtedness to the association, but that he would prepare astatement as shown by the books, There was a discussion of the caso of Mrs. O'Donnell, whose pass book was produced showing her amount as $420, while a check had been drawn,chat able against her, of which she had stated she had not received a dollar, The pass book of Mrs. Paxton was produced, showing she had paid up to May, 1854, inclusive, while the sec- retaty’s book showed that payments for several months previous to that time had never been made. A committee was appointed consisting of Mr. Clabaugh, vhe president, and Robert E. Fry, to wait upon ex-Secretary Ferd King to get an explanation regarding discrepancies in certain accounts, DANGEROUSLY SHOT WHILE SKYLARKING.— Last night about 11 o'clock two colored boy: nained James Brook and “Tony” Walker, aget about 17 years each, were footing with a pistol on the corner of Dunbarton avenue and 29th street, when the weapon was accidentally dis- charged while in the hands of Walker, and the ball struck Brooks in the left side. He was subsequently removed to his home, in Paxton’s alley, where he was attended by Dr. Yarnall, Who pronounced the wound a dangerous one, This morning Walker surrendered himself. Walker was charged in the Police Court this morning with assault with intent to kill, and the case was indefinitely continued, REV.

P. Agnew & Co., of this place, will be commenced. This was coal sent down to Cumberland before the strike. It is understood that last year’s tolls and freight will prevail in these shipments. Several loaded boats caught at Camberland by the ice at the close of navigation last year will also go out. ‘These boats will probably ali clear in the next few days, and after that there can of course be nothing done by the canal until the strike is settled. The water in the canal level here was drawn off last week for the purpose of cleaning it out, but as yet operations have not been com menced, leaving the bed of the canal exposed, and causing foul odors to arise therefrom. ‘SEMPERATURE AND CONDITION OF WATER AT7 AL Great Falls, temperature, 50; con- dition, 33.

HE IS SAID To BE VERY MUCH BROKEN DOWN. ‘New York Special to the Philadelphia Times, {tis asad but stubborn fact that ex-President Arthur is in very critical condition. His closest friends are now for the first time forced to admit that it is doubtful whether he again leaves his bed. He has not been a well man at any time since he returned trom Washington, and his bodily ailments have finally had their effect upon his usually strong nerve centers. This need not necessarily mean that death 18 approaching. General Arthur is only about fifty-seven years old, and under usual condi- tons would have the constitutional strength to ‘overcome almost any ordinary disease. A few days will doubtiess ioreshadow what is good or bad for him inthe future. ‘The ex-President is said to be in just that condition in which time alone can decide his fate. Everything that medical skill can do for him is being done. Two of the best physicians in the city have been called to take charge of the case, Raw Has: ‘DS, FESTERING, WATERY AND RAW FROM THE FINGER TIPS TO WRIST, CURED BY CUTICURA, In the spring of 1884 an eruption appeared on the backs of my hands. Isupposed I was poisoned by ivy. My hands continued to grow worse until the fall, ‘when [consulted medical advice, and used mapy re- medies to no purpose. Instead of getting better they rapidly grew worse, being a mass of watery, festering, raw flesh, very offensive and annoying. Whenever a Part would heal up it would be subject to the most vio- lent itching and immediately break out worse than before. Little watery spotsthen appeared on my finger joints, and festering would spread over a large surface. In this condition I began the use of the Cusi- CURA Remepres. In one week's time my hands were almost well, and in a short time entirely cured. INO. D, VAUTIER Pier 87,8. Wharyes, Philadelphia, A COMPLETE CURE.
