The Veteran Firemen yesterday, as stated in Tux Star, paraded over a long route and re- ceived quite an ovation, They were halted at Odd Feliow’s ball, Navy Yard, by Mr. John W. Thompson, former president of the American H. and L. Co., and invited to » collation pre- pared by ladies of that section. Inthe evening the members and their guests, to the number of fifty, enjoyed a banquet at their hall, 7th and Nstreets, prepared by Mr. Chas. Meyer. Mr. Jas, Ragan presided, and, besides the mem- bers, there were seated at the board Chief Parris, Messrs. John T. Given, Chas, I. Can- field, John Mills, W. T. Walker, P. Walsh and Oakes Mr. Ragan introduced Mr. C. I. Canfield, a former president of the Franklin, who spoke of his connection with that com- Ee as a torch-bearer before he had reached us teeus. He afterward served in every posi- tion up to that of president, Mr. John T. Given said that his first recol- lection was when fire-buckets were used. and forty years or more a he was enthused by an alarm of fire. Like the boy creeping in under the circus canvas he crept into the Franklin fire company, and as second director of hose was often in the thickest of the fight with the fiery element. He recounted several instances when he hadrun to Alexandria “with the ma- chine.” In 1859, having been honored with an election to the city councils, he said, he intro- duced the first resolution looking to the estab- lishment of the steam fire department, a reso- lution requesting Congress to transfer the fire apparatus, with engine-houses, to the District, In those days there was no water here availa- ble excepting in the old canal, the reservoirs, and pumps, and many could remember with what avidity at a fire was a cellar full of water captured. ir. Geo, H. Turton responded for the North- ern Liberty fire company. Mr. J. J. Peabody recounted his history in the department as a member of the Northern Liberty and Columbia. Mr. J. W. Thompson spoke for the American — and ladder, and W. W. Goddard for the nion, John Daly and John Mills also made ad- dresses, Letters of regret were read from Capt. Web- ster, of the Friendship company of Alexandria; Col. Jas. A. Tait, a member of the Columbia in 830; F. Schneider, a member of the Union in same year; T. H. Peter, of Philadelphia; D. P. Holloway, of Baltimore, and Col. W. G. Moore, and Jas. L. Norris. —— The Washington Produce Market. The tone of the market in general is good.

To the Editor of Tur Evenrxe Stan: Your report of the proceedings of the Wash- ington National Monument society in yester- day's Star was nearly right. As correctly stated, I had made up the record of the pre- vious meeting, with the understanding that no authority was given at that meoting to contract for a tablet of any kind, and I also said I be- lieved I was not alone in that understanding. Several members present at the previous meet- ing were unfortunately absent yesterday. The tablet which the committee are now author- ized to procure, should they be unable to of- fect a change in design and cost, would be 6!4 by 5 feet in size, at $1,400. I have objected first and last. as some other members have lik wise done, to a tablet of so large dimension as well_as to the price asked for it, and to the names being in raised letters for the con- venience of relic-collectors. It should have been stated that before the vote of yesterday was taken I tried to secure consideration of Mr. Sheehan's proposition at $500 for a bronze tub- let of smaller dimension, with sunken letters enameled in black, but I was ruled out of order. His offer, with a full-size handsome design, was read for presentation. Horatio Kina. Wasnixaton, Feb, 23, 1889. Przpare For Srrixe. It is none too early to be gething ready for spring, the first thing which should receive attention is your own system. If you have not been well during ‘the winter, have been troubled with scrofula, salt rheum, or other humors of the blood, you should purify the blood by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla) You will then escape that indescribable tired feeling which | is so prostrating and often so unaccountable in the | spring months. Do not put off taking a reliable medi- | cine, but now take HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA. “*My wife had very poor health for s long time, suf- fering from indigestion, poor appetite, and constant French wool, extra w: UBLE ed to 83.
