As this institation is supported entirely by volun- tary contribations it should appeal strongly to thore who have the means and disposition to encourage a worthy charity.

For several wecks past the people of the city have been sorely troubled by rumors to the effect that not ouly would there be shortage in the food supply of the local | markets during the visit of theG.

A reporter of Taz Stan today in- terviewed a number of the leading commission merchants and dealers doing business in and | about the Center Market and not one could be |found who believed that there would be # | soarci | encampment will be hel when such products are | time, too, when our markets are supplied by | farmers and garden trucksters round about the city. Then we have Baltimore and Norfolk to draw upon. In mv opinion there is but one thing to be feared, the continuance of the mt drought. country people tell us train is badly needed and that things are | drying up. Of course, if this state of affairs continues much longer the effect will be a scar- | city of farm prodnets, but if we have good rains in a reasonable time all will be well. The milk supply is already short, and we look for no little \ trouble in that for the ‘reason that the supply cannot well be increased. ‘That is, unless it brought from quite a distance, and that of coursemeans an advance in prices, But of every- thing else there will be a plenty. Mr. H.C. Coburn, 923 B street,a commis- sion merchant, remarked: “I do not anticipate y shortage, and I do not expect any advance in prices, If we cannot get stuff by freight at | that time, we can have it expressed, and. the extra expense would not materially inorease the price. ‘The Baltimore market is practi- cally unlimited, and itis so near that if the railroad people cannot forward what we want | the steamboat people can.” Mr. Wm, 0.

Mills handled the reins of justice. There were nearly forty persons locked up on varions charges and the police station court room was well filied with persons inter- ested. Rachael Johnson, a colored woman who earns her living in a kitchen, was the first pris- oner called from the dock. Rachael was particu- larly anxious for the judge to know that she had been employed at the one place for more than three years, and that, she thought, was a | good index to her reputation. Judge Milla was | glad to know that such was the case, but even that was no excuse for an assault. Annie Gant was the prosecuting witness, and it was shown that the latter annoyed the former at her service place. Rachael called on Annie and during their war of words Rachael's temper | got the better of her and she struck Annie in the face. Five dollars.

Charlie Coleman, a colored man, ws on a charge of having slapped Annie Brooks. ‘The latter said that the former had been stop- ping at her room, and when they got on “‘cross- questions” he struck her. he had tried to reform the girl and she got | angry. She had him arrested to get rid of him. ‘You can go,” said the court. ‘But he’s a’ fugitive from the work house,” interrupted an officer. ‘He escaped from there a month ago.

It was finally decided to take the pile | driver off the wagon and the work commenced. For a long time, the sireet was totally blocked. ‘The eight-hour faborers growled and intimated that they wanted to get home. They were hungry. It was too much for the genial liew- tenant and he went over to the scene. After giving a few directions the men set to work in a moment, and the presence of the officer of the jaw lent’ new strengtn, and after a while the big pile driver went sailing through the gate.

One dealer told Tae Srai man that in many instances he would not re- ceive a basket of the delicious fruit from grow- ers who last year supplied him with hundreds a day. The late crop would be much larger a the fruit better than the early crop. but the supply would be far short of what it was last season. ce BROOKLAND.
