WARD NOT COMING TO WASHINGTON—HOW THE CLUBS STAND—THE WASHINGTON LEAGUE—RCHORS FROM ‘THE BALL FIELD. ‘The Washington men again fell victims to Capt. Kelly's Boston team yesterday. The score was 8to 6, although the Statesmen outplayed their oppo- nents in the field and at the bat. The Bostons had everything their own way until the last in- ning. When the Statesmen came to the bat for the last time the score was 8 toO against them. ‘They made a splendia rally, however, scoring 6 runs, 5 of which were earned, off four singles, a Uhree-bagger by Myers and a home run by Hines.

All such expectations are groundless, however. Secretary Hewitt told a Srax reporter this morning that ne had received the final answer of lent Day yesterday, Which was that under no conditions would he re- lease Ward. This will be a disappointment to the base-ball lovers, who had begun to build high hopes on the prospéct. of having such a strong maa as Ward at the helm for the remainder of this ‘Season, and to exercise his rare good judgment in strengthening the team if possible or next season. No man in the country would have suited ‘Washington so well as Johnny Ward. He would be to Csr Soleepr Mike Kelly has pen < Lea ‘he positions of manager, captain, and short-stoj would all be filled Dy bun, But it cannot be. The jae was to exchange Shaw, Gilligan, and Farrell for him. It was considered by the New York mé ent and then reject In open market, asa chattel, Ward would command an enormous price. He would, however, object to be- ing put up to the hignest bidder, and could not be disposed of in that way. | As he would like to come to Washington, and is dissatisfied in New York, and as Shaw isa man the New Yorks have long been wanting, and fs dissatisfled in Washington, AU was thought that the deal might be made, Itis not known what money consideration, in addition to the transfer of players, would induce President Day to part with Ward.” The Washing- ton management did not try tofindout. Mr. Hew- Att said to-day, “No more money will be expended for players this season. There may be exchanges, Dut no purchases. No one can wccuse us ot not Delng liberal in ex; money to secure a strong team. The team isa strong one, and has given just as good exhibitions of ball playing at Capitol as any team in the country, but the public has not stood by the boys.

Three games have been dropped to the phenomenal Phillies and two to the Bostons. Not _a game has been added to the “won” column. ‘The Pittsburgs, on the other hand, have been playing remarkable ball and are intrenching themselves in sixth place. ‘There 1s every reason to suppose that the Wash- ingtons, when they begin playing on the home grounds, will rapidiy overhaul their rivals from the Quaker city, ‘The recent bad luck of the local ‘eam has been due largely to the broken-up con- dition of the men, ‘The want of a short-stop was responsible for more than one defeat. bealy played remarkably well in that position, but he Cannot cover as much ground as 13 required. ‘When it was necessary for him to go bebind the Dat it was necessary to put Hines ‘in short-fneld. ‘The other two catchers are bunged up. ‘The re- cent accident to Gilligan's index finger prevents him from throwing well and interferes with clean catching.

N., charged on two informations with fornication with Eva White, a fourteen-year-old daughter of Dr. G. A. White, was concluded in the Police Court by a judgment of guilty and sentence to six months in jail ineach case, The trial, as stated in THE Star, Was resumed yesterday afternoon a Uttle before 3 o'clock, when Mr. A. A. Lipscomb, Prosecuting attorney, commenced the closing ar- gument. Mr. Lipscomb went over the points of the case at length. Reviewing the legal questions raised, he sald the Government had at no time claimed that 1t was necessary to prove the time ‘and place of the act set out, but that ft was sum- ¢lent to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it occurred at some time and place within the juris- diction of the court.

The object of the analyses which are made is not so much to detect the adulterations in the particular articles examined as to arrive at a standard for the de- Yection of adulterations, which will doubtless be of advantage to boards of health and other or- ganizations which are more or less closely inter- ested in the subject of the food and drink of the People. ‘The results of these researches are being yublished in the formof bulletins, making pamph- ets of good size. “Only one has been issued in 0 form t the public, that relating to dairy pro- ducts, A second bulletin, on spices and condi- ments, is about ready for issue. ADULTERATIONS OF LIQUORS. A third one on adulterations in wines and fer- mented liquors has just been completed by Dr. C A. Crampton, und will be sent to the Gov- ernment Printer in a day or two, The analyses ‘Were made of different samples of wines and beer right here in the District, and although the pri- mury object was not to’ show the extent of the adulteration of these beverages consumed in Waehington, still that phase of ‘the investigation has an important local bearing. ‘The Use of salleyllc acid as a preservative in fermented It- quors and in wines has for some time been the sub- ject efcomplaint among sanitariens. Tt 1s pro- ibited by law in Germany and in France, al- though ft has been ascertained that in the former country it is allowed in beer that is to be exported. The principal objection urged against its use is that it is not a proper con- suuent. for daily consumption, and that 1 tends to conceal the effects of bad Preparation. | The analyses of Dr. Crampton show conclusively to what extent salicylic acid 18 used 1n Washington beer and wine. ADULTERATED BEER. ‘Thirty-two samples of beer were analyzed, and of this number seven were found to contain sall- cylic acid in sufficient quantities to admit of quall- tative proof, -These were all bottled beers, one being imported (Kaiser) beer. Of nineteen sam-4 ples of American bottled beer six, or nearly one- Unird of the number, were found to contain sali eyllc acid. ‘These included the product of some of the largest breweries in the country, and in con- stant use all over the United States. Whether the acid ig added in the breweries where the beer 1s made or by local bottlers cannot be ascertained. In one case it was detected in beer sold in Wash- ington under ‘the brand of a large Western brew- ery. Assample secured direct from the brewery, | J; however, gave wo test for the acid, although in this casé there was no certainty that the firm did hot know the purpose for which the sample was intended. ‘While no salicylic acta was found in keg beer, carbonate of soda to improve the “head” was detected in two samples. In auother sample there was a substitute for hops, but 1a stich small juantities that it was impossible to learn itgexact dharacter. “In two cases there was too much salt, PRESERVATIVE IN WINES. In wines the use of a preservative was found to bemuch more general than was expected. In 1880 over a hundred samples were analyzed to as- certain the constituents, but not adulterations, Dr. Crampton analyzed seventy samples of wines for adulterations. Eighteen, or over one-fourtl had received the addition of salicylic acta, an three had been preserved by the use of sulphurous: acid, elther as such or in the shape of a sulphite, In two cases both agents had been used. One of the samples, containing salicylic acid, and one containing a sulphite, were among thé samples exhibited at the national viticultural convention held last year in Washington. Another sample showed that it had been colored with an anyline dye. No search was made for artificial vegetable coloring, as it 18 too dificult to detect, Some of the samples, according to European standards, would be considered watered, but there are 00 such standards in this country. CIDER, Contrary to expectations, very lttle preserva- tive was found in the samples of cider that were analyzed. Out of thirteen samples only one was badly adulterated, and this contalved three or four aduiterations, sulphurous acid beng used ex- tensively.

Areal estate man in talking about the recent agitation over the water rates, sald that he thought 1t would be a good idea to do away with the water office entirely with the exception of the engineers, and place the entire business in charge of the col- lector. “My idea is this,” he went on, “abolish the special water tax entirely and add sufficient to ‘the $1.50 tax on real estate to insure an addition to the present revenue for the tax on property equal to that now derived from the water rents, In that way, the water tax would become a tax on Property. It would only be necessary to keep one ‘set of books, and the collection of the tax would be insured. I never calculated how much the water revenue amounts to on the hundred dollars, but probably not more than 4 or 5 cents. At allevents it would not increase the present rate very much, and would probably be us equitable as the present system or as any that could be devised, The high- Priced property would, of course, pay the largest water rent, while the ‘cheap property would pay less, but irthere is to be any equailty {tts better hat 1t should be in that direction than the reverse. ‘The owners of rented property would pay the Water tax directly instead of the tenant, and 1t could be added to the rent as the general taxes now are. When a man rents property now he Teally pays all the taxesas the retits are Dased Upon the cost to the owners of holding. the prop- erty. Why then should not the tenant pay his water rent in the same way, without having the Dother of going to the District office and paying his money directly to the District goverument, ‘Under this system it would make no difference how much front a man’s property had or how many stories high, he would pay upon the as- sessed Value of the ground and the improvements. Vacant ground Would pay its share of the water taxif the water Was available. ‘There would be no account taken of the business carried on or whether one man used more water than another, Dut the property would pay according, to weli.os- tablished rules, and every one would know just how much was due. ‘The system, I believe, is simple and 1s just as equitable as any known sys- tem. There are, of course, inequalities and the large property owners migit think that they were being treated unjustly, but I think thatits ad- vant would over-balance its disadvantages. One thing is certain there would be only one set of books kept in the District omce, one force of clerks could do the entire work’ with as much ease as they now perform their present duties.” A NEW BUSINESS BUILDING. : A large business building 1s being erected by ‘Mr. Francis Miller on the east side of 9th street, adjoining on the north the Perry building. The old building has been removed, and in its place 1s Deing erected a four-story bufiding with a front age of 23 feet and running back nearly to the depth of the lot. ‘The new bullding will adjoin the store now occupied by Mr. Miller, and 1¢ 1s bis invention to connect the two, thus making a lange store with a frontage of 48 feet, ‘The upper stories ‘Will be used for his stock, se SENATOR EVARTS’ MARYLAND FARM. ‘There has been considerable conjecture as to ‘the reasons why Senator Evarts recently purchased about 300 acres of land in the neighborhood of Fort Washington.

They will leave at 10 o'clock to- night, and will be in camp for ten days. The big chests, the little bags, the knapsacks and various undies were packed last night. From early in the evening until late at night members of the corps were cleaning and packing their dress uniforms and making ready for the war on the waves All the pretty white coats and tall bear- skin hats were packed in four immense boxes that ‘stood in a row against the wall with their mouths open, The small traps lay around on the floor of the big armory hall. Members who had finished their own preparations stood about reading what Auantic City papers had to say about their coming encampment, or watching the others work. Others who had a né-woman-about-the-house look sat on high stools in the company’s rooms sewing buttons on thelr uniform pants, with very big needles and long threads, or stitched up parted seams in their ‘uniforms where the most strain comes, HOW HE SEWED. Onebrave private sat upon a particularly high stool, and looked, with a despondent gaze, at an ‘open seam in the back part of his dress uniform trousers, He took no notice of the merry-makers around him, but sat with a sad uncertainty with his eyes upon the rent. Presently he unwound about a yard-and-a-haif of thread from a darning needle on which it Was reeled, and tried to draw his legs up under bim tallor-fashion, Hecharged bayonets through the trousers with one han Selzed the sharp steel polnt, with the other, an dragged the thread through, at the same ‘time opening his mouth and pulling the trousers out at arms-length one way and the needie as far the other, Avevery return to the charge his mouth Would come too with a snap, and he would set his lips with Ught determination. At one moment the trousers would be hanging in the afr by the thread: at the next they would be held firmly aloft while the needie dangled out of reach, In the officers’ quarters tickets for the trip were being sold rapidly.

What person would trust bimself ona train if he knew that the employes had been Working night and day for two or three days? Yer this's just what 1s happening all the time.
