Hepburn, the present controller of the currency, is a stanch advocate of “clean money.” Ina recent communication to the Secretary of the Treasury he expressed him- self on this st bject, as follows: “Ourrency, as applied to the money ofa country, has been defined as a ‘continuous suc cession of uses.’ A little reflection upon such continuous use, the journey from hand to hand, till to till, pocket to pocket, over the damp coanter of the saloon, through the neces- sarily soiled hands of honest industry, treas- ured by the poor and carried in close proxim- ity to the person, it is easy to realize that it becomes ‘filthy Incre.” Soiled paper money is populariy believed to be a potent means of weminating infectious and contagious dis The Bank of England never reissues & “The statute provides for the redemption of United States notes when ‘they are so mutila- ted or otherwise injured as to be unfit for use; and for the redemption of national bank notes when they are ‘worn, defaced, mutilated. or otherwise unfit for circulation.” A note with the accumulated filth of continuous use is unfit for cirenlation and should be redeemed.

An interestiug case concerning the use of the public water supply has just come to the attention of the Commissioners, and has been forwarded to the assistant at- torney for the District for his investigation and report. It seems that some time ago a man doing busines as a livery stable keeper in the northwestern por- thon of the city refused to pay his water rent of $53. As is customary im these cases the water tmeny promptly cut the woter off. ‘lo evade the law, the man pressed the public fous- tain ‘ats the «comer — into service and each morning and afternoon took his horses there to be watered. When it was nec- ewary to use the water in the stable, the man drove a truck having a large water the fountain and filled it Now the question that the Commissioners have calied upon Mr. Thomas tu decide is whether they can stop this man from the practice of evading the law. It is underst. that the attorney wili recommend to the Commi-sioners the passage of a regulation torbidding the use of public fountains for private use, upon the ground that the fountains are not in the | streets for the purpose of giving people a chance to evade the payment of waver rents, ' Regulations for lewing Stands. ‘The Commissioners this afternoon issued set of regulations governing the erection of re- viewing stands for the inauguration. asi sins Herve: 5 t citizen of Rath- g Benge = omic deen of Pat day.

The Colonial Club of New York is a recent | University Honors to Be Open to Female | A Policeman Seem, WASHINGTON | WOMEN AT JOHNS HOPKINS. and handsome addition to metropolitan olub- | dom, and at the opening of the néw home not long ago Mr. Chauncey M. Depew was as usual put down on the program for a speech. In ‘the course of his address Mr. Depew is quoted as baving said: “y claim, ‘Oh my! I presume that ian expree- sion of sympathy for Mrs. Depew. tell you I seldom go to my clubs, The club of today, however, is different from the club of years ‘ago. Formerly the ladies regarded the club as an enemy of the domestic circle. Now the club opens its doors to the ladies, an she thinks it ss. good thing. Whenever a woman can go where her husband goes she is satisfied, The club should never be permitted to interfere with the family, for the famtly is the foundation of the community. But when a man’s family is away from home he needs some place to go and | refresh himself after a hard day's worl pee tren pnd gen on people, forgets business cares, talks goeal; and tells stories.” is | This matter of the admission of ladies into the sacred precincts of the club is one that is attracting more and more attention every day and it merits all the attention it receives. this it is not meant, of course, that the two sexes should be taken in on the same footing in the average social club, but that there shou! arrangements by which members might the privilege of entertaining ladiew on | certain stated days, say once every week or | fortnight. What is known as ladies’ day is not | Ziet menat for. these are marked wih such elaboratencss as to make them «pecial occasions, and they cannot be held with very much fre- quency. If the restaurant and sitting rooms were opened up to Indies on one evening in the week it would give the club member an oppor- tunity to be the hont at many a little dinner or theater party and the bachelor member would thus have the chance to return many a social debt. The ladies would like {t, too, and that club would be a popular one at once that first breaks through the old rule of exclusiveness. It is probable that the ladies’ evening would be the one selected for many theater parties, for it would give the bachelor a chance to entertain once in a while otber than in public restau- rante, The Army and Navy Club opens its cafe and reception room to ladies in the even- ing for suppers, and the innovation has proved tobe a great snccew, The Down Town Club also has a dining room for ladies that they ap- preciate highly as a luncheon place when the; are down town shopping. The suggestion made to the other clubs In town for what it is worth. In New York Indios are beginning to receive more consideration at the hands of the « clubs, The Millionaires’ Club, as the new Metropolitan ix called in vulgar ‘parlance, will have in its new club house, at the corner of 5th avenue and 60th street, a restaurant and other apartments for ladies. ‘The Lawyers’ Club has several very beautiful rooms set apart for the wives and female rela- tives of the members, and four of the leading Brooklyn clubs have similar accommodations. The Indies’ rooms at the Catholic Club are two of the most superbly appointed apartments in the city. The new book of the Army and Navy Club has made its appearance, and, as was to be ex- Pected. iv a comprehensive volume and. marvel of good taste. ‘This club is now on a thoroughly firm financial footing. It bas been in ite new building a little over a year, for it was on De- comber 30, 1891, that the new home was opened up with a big reception, at which more than 1,000 guests were present. The new book shows that within the year the club has gained 104 members and is still booming. The hardest workers in establishing the club in its new home were Lieut. Bliss, Lieut. Pechteler, Lieut. Culver, the secretary of the elub, und'Mr. D. "ase. The annual meeting of the Columbia Athletic Club will be held in the club house next Wed- nesday evening at 8 o'clock. A meeting of the University Club washeld this week to act upon the following proposed amendment to the constitution: “The board of governors thall have: power to admit to mem- bership in the club any gentlemen eminent in the liberal professions—science, literature or art” There was not a quorum ‘present at the meeting and it was adjourned until next Thurs- day evening at 8 o'clock. Since the amend- ment was proposed a great deal of opposition bas developed, and it is expected that the mem- bers who are interosted in keeping the club true to its name will rally in force at the meet- ing and kill the amendment. They argue that if the board of governors are given the power to decide as toe man's eligibility to member- ship, university training not being a requisite, then the club isnolonger a university club, but simply a scientific or literary organization. Washington would agair be without » club organized along the lines that have made simi- Jar institutions so popular in other large cities, At the recent meeting of the Down Town Club the proposed change in the constitution raising the initiation fee and the annual dues was lost by a large majority. On the contrary, it was decided to do away with the initiation fee forayear. The club has such extens == sufficient for a much larger member- ship, that it was thought that it would be more satisfactory to increase the number of members on the roils rather than the expense to each individual member. The annual meeting of the Down Town Club will be held at the club rooms Tuesday even- ing, January 17, for the election of five mem- bers of the board of governors and the trans- action of other business, At the annual meeting of the Mysterious Club the following officers were installed: Mr. Robert T. Hieston, President: Maj. James H. Reeve, vice president; Mr. A. Dallas Tucker, secretary; Mr. James D. Mankin, financial sec Mr. Emil G. Schafer, treasurer; Mr. M. Fields, sergeant-at-arms; Mr. sentinel. Directors: Messrs. R. T. J. H. Reeve, Thothas Somerville, maons, E. G. Schafer, J.D. Man- kin and A. Dallas Tucker. > THE WATER STOPPED RUNNING. People Who 8: Because Others Left Their Spigots Open. Last night persons residing on the higher Jevels of the city found their supply of water cut off on the upper floors of the house. The matter was brought to the attention of the Commissioners today by a letter from Senator Cullom, who said thet the water had suddenly ceased to flow into the tank on the third story of the house he occupies, 1413 Massachusetts avenue. He wants to know the reason for this and if there is no way to increase the pressure. In conclusion he says: “There should not be any lack of energy in remedying such condi- tion if it is general and it can be remedied.” Capt. Lusk, who has charge of the water de- partment, was shown theabove letter and asked what caused the sudden falling off in the pressure. He replied ‘bat there bad been con- siderable complaint from this decrease in pres- re. The reason was that housebolders, to revent the water Pipes from freezing, hed jeft The spigots open and there wes an immense ste of water. The Commissioners bad | ordered house-to-house in to detect | these unwarranted wastes. whole trouble | was, he said, that the wholesale waste of water made a corresponding decrease in pressures. pin a Want an Assignment Set Aside.

The assistant attorney for the District, Mr. 8. T. Thomas, inan opinion upon the Senate bill to abolish the old name of the city of Georgetown, which was referred to him by the Commissioners for opinion, says that he thinks the bill should be favorably reported. George- town, though a city long before Washington city was founded, is now, as it has been since 1871, practically a part of Washington. Its streets are generally in alignment with the streets of Washington and have been named and numbered as far as prscticable toconform to the streetaof the city of fashington. If there was any good reeson, Mr. Thomas says, why in 1871 the name and geo- graphical limits of Georgetown should be re- tained that reason has long since ceased to exist. With the exception of some police ordinances peculiar to Georgetown all. general laws and regulations of the District extend over Georgetown. The rate of taxation is the same. ‘The public school system is the tame, In short, Georgetown is and bas been for twenty years an integral part of Washington, aud there caurbe no objection to the present Dill unless it be on grounds purely sentimental. Mr. Thomas suggests that the present bill be 20 amended as to extend and make applicable all laws and regulations of the city of Washing- ton to what was formerly known as George- town, and farther that the nomenclature of the streets and avenues of Georgetown be made to conform ss near as practicable to thove of Washington. Seas THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE. The Effort Before Congress to Secure Its ‘Use by # Railroad. ‘The question of the occupancy of the Aque- duct bridge by a street railway company has again been brought to the attention of the Senate District committee and in a form that will call for some action. The subject comes before the committee in the shape of a petition with signatures of over 300 citizens of Washington and Georgetown, in- cluding the names of many prominent men. ‘The petition sets forth thst there is urgent ne- cessity for means of rapid communication be- tween the District of Columbia and Virginia, which it is claimed furnishes most of the bricks, dairy and farm products consumed here. Private enterprise, it states, after great effort, has failed to provide this means of com- munication, and the petitioners therefore pray Congress to allow the use of the Aqueduct for ftreet car purposes. As most of the crowded streets and bridges are now occupied by rail- weys there is no reason, the petition states,why the Aqueduct should be excopted when public convenience and the prosperity and growth of the suburbs demand it. ‘There is a feeling among the members of the District committee that the petition will avail nothing, same committee before which the petition will again come decided a year ago that this bridge should not be given up to street car purposes, Although mo, particular railroad mentioned in the _peti- tion it is believed that this movemont is in the interest of the Washington and Ar- lington line, as there is no other road that de- sires the use of this bridge. This road prom- ised, when their right of way was granted, to build an individual bridge, but have failed to to do so, and now want to use the Aqueduct bridge for their benefit. It is on this account that certain members of the committee say that they do Hot believe that the rignt will be granted. A PETITION FROM VIROINTA. A delegation of citizens of Alexandria county, Va.. consisting of Col F. L, Smith, Messrs, Frank Hume, Cazenove G.

The only adverse criticisms” having come from one bank presi- dent and the District auditor. Speaking fur- ther of the latter he says: ‘Tax Bran prints an interview with District Auditor Petty where- in be insixts that the revenues of the District of Columbia are not locked up in the United States treasury, while in the same paper Dis- trict Assessor Trimble ex that these revenues are so locked up. Mr. ‘Trimble is right and he has had the courage of his convictions, as shown in his official re- port.”” I fail to understand bow courage enters into the question at all, but granting that it docs certainly less would seem to be required to travel with the majority in company with Tae Sran and the Post and citizens generally than to be one of a minority of two. In point of fact, however, I did not criticise, adversely or other- wine, the proposition to deposit taxes in the bunks instead of the United States treasury. I had no such object in view, my purpose being simply to correct an error of belief in the pub- mind as expremed in the statement thyt “taxes collected in November are covered into and unprofitable until Congress unlocks the cireula’ lowing.” The question atisme in this state fact, and should be settled not by arraying the asveusor and the auditor against each othe but by mination of the records. If tw member & firm, depositing with a bank, should disagree as tothe amount of their de- posit they would hardly waste time affirming and denying but, if sensible men, would band in their pass book so thet it might be settled and the balance shown. This course is pursued with District accounts. Once a month the Dis- trict bookkeeper compares the books of the anditor’s office with the account kept in the balance.

The Treasury Department during the period from July to November simply pays out & part of the proportion of the appropriation due from the United States. There is hence no uestion of reimbursing advances made upon the District moiety. It is only a payment upon the half due from the United States.” This argument procesde upon the assumption that because $5,000,000 are appropriated for a given year one-half of that sum is necessarily due from the United Sgates. But this is not the case, since the indebtedness of the United States is measured within the limits of the a] propriation by the receipts of the District. If the latter should be only $2,000,000 the United States would owe but a corresponding #2,- 000,000 and the total amount of the appropria- tion available would be but $4,000,000. It follows that if $2,500,000 be advanced by the United States between July and December out of an appropriation of $5,000,000 it would not of necessity be merely s payment upon its own indebtedness, but might also be in part a loan. ‘The appropriations for the fiscal year 1879-— ig) Soduadar teas ceumat facet govern- ment—and also those of 1880, being uncondi- tional, were paid in full regardiess of the fact that the revenues collected by the District for those years fell $100,000 short of the amount contributed by the United States. To prevent s similar occurren: thereafter Congreve placed this important proviso in the appr. priation act of June 4, 1880, and in every su sequent one: “Provided, That the Commissiar ors shall not make requisitions upon thi ppropriations from the treasury of the Unit States for a larger amount during said fiscal year than they make ou the appropriations arising from the revenues of said District.” This law, technically const might be held to require that each and every requisition whenever made should be paid in equal parts from the reve of the United States and of the District—s construction which would of course cause great enabarass- ment. Or it might be held as giving limited discretionary power to make advances from time to time during the out of the United States funds when there is a reasonable cer- tainty that the amount 6o advanced, considered with refetence to the year in its entirety, will not exceed the amount raised by the District from tax coliections arid balances, if any, from the previous years. The question came up for discussion and was fully considered by the Trees. ury Department in 1880, with the result that the plan now in vogue was adopted. What I meant therefore by ‘‘the kindness of the trese- ury officials” was merely that they have been broad and liberal rather than nartow and tech- nical in construing the law. This leniency does not extend beyond the Ist of May, however, as between that date and June 30 the requisitions are closely matched ‘at the tressury, and every recaution taken to guard ment bj Tis"Valted “States ‘in exctee of ihe amoust raised by the District.

WRY DISTRICT ATTORNEY COLE MMILLAN BILL —BEY. OTHER VIEWS OF AX IMPORTANT SUBJECT. | In conversation with a Stam reporter today District Attorney Cole said: “I think theye ought to bea very stringent | liquor law in this District: the one we have now all Tbave not con- sidered in detail what the provisions of the law gen- eral features of the MeMillan bill are about is about equa’ to no law ought to be, but it seems to me that what is needed. 1 think the li wes should be at least as high as pro- vided in that Dill; that the number saloons should be limited; that no should be licensed without the consent of at least two-thirds of the householders in the square and in the adjoining squares, and that | even after those prerequisites were complied with the Commissioners of the District should have ‘he absolute discretion, without assigning eny reason whatever, to decline to grantany particular application. “She penalties for a sale in violation of the license or without license ought to be severe. Thore should be fine or iraprisonment in jail, or bord, in the diveretion of the court. for. the firet offense, and imprisonment in the peniten- tiasy for the second offense, with the further penalty that a second offense should forfeit the ficense and disqualify the licensee from ever receiving a license again, either directly or directly “A law of this character, properly enforced, Would bavea greater tendency than anything elne to decrease crime in this District. From my observation and experience in the district | attornas fice I should say that 5 to 90 per cent of all the criminal | prosecutions grow either dirtctly or indi- | rectly out of the indiscriminate xale and ure of intoxicating liquor. The expense of such | criminal prosecutions exceeds many times all the revenue that the government derives from | licenses, both local and national, in the District of Columbia, “If it were practicable to execute euch a la t the present time I should favor a law that would probibit absolutely the sele of liquor to be drunk upon the premises where sold, except | where furnished in connection with meals by a | restaurant or hotel. The great curse, expecially to young and weak men, is the open saloon. MR. HILLYER’# CONTRIBUTION. “Apropos of the present discussion of the liquor selling question,” said Mr. Curtis J. | Hillyer, “allow me torelate an ex dealing with an analogous subject. It was in Nevada and in 1869. For several years gam- bling at banking games. faro, monte, &c., had | been increasing despite of } Statnte making the conducting of such games criminal offense. The worst feature of the was that a very large number of | thieving games with small capital were victimizing the mine workers of their wages. ‘The minimum wages were $4 per day and their game was worth the candle. Almost every saloon, and there was no scarcity of them, had its back attachment with its green cloth and persuasively stacked red and white chips (the Fine were not neededin those games). be logis lature of that year—and the fact that I was a it had more than the average intelligence and as much appreciation of the value of morality ax #m- ilar borties else where— determined toatte t not the impossibility of eradicating this evil, but the possibility of checking and reducing it by a high license. They fixed the license of « bank- ing game at £400 per month (by no means pro- hibitory under the then conditions) and pro- vided, together with heavy penalties for violn- tion, ihat no game sbould be conducted on the first'or street floor and that no game should be carried on in « locked room. “The bill in its progress encountered opposition from two classes, firet, the exces- sively good men who would not license any sin, no matter how much sin might thereby be pre- vented, and second, the small gamblers, who could not pay the license fee. These extremes met and labored together, but over their com- bined opposition we passed the law. The re- waite fully justified ite wisdom. Within a rhort time three-fourths of the gaming establishments were closed and these iucluded all of the low dives and holes most pernicions to those whose losings, though , were felt directly i diminished family comfort. The aggregate of all this species of gambling was reduced by more than one-half, In its practical operation the most significant thing was that its enforcement ‘was automatic, The guardians of its inviolability were the gamblers themselves. The enter- icing speculator, who peli 8,000 per year for the privilege of fleecing the publie would not permit hl preserves to be encruacbed pon, For once the law and his interest coincided, and he became a most admirable detective of illegality. i This law was strong right where the probibi- tory law had been weak. Under the latter it business or and, considering the numerousness of the gamblers and their patrons, prosecution was disagreeable, unprofitable and unpromis- ing of results. Under our law the licensee took care to let no guilty manescape. Another good feature was the removal of visible temptation by relegating the gambling shops tosecond and third stories and thus also ting them from the drinking saloons and destroying that mutual support which these two sympathizing occupations always render to each other. The publicity given by requiring open doors night and day proved a very effective restraint. A poe to which every one t all times the free entry, where the #on at any moment caight have as a spectator the father, tbe clerk his employer, the business man his creditor or banker was not adapted to the security or pleasure of indulging the gambling passion. The law, as soon as its effect could be ob- served, met with almost universal commenda- tion. Few wished and none tried to repeal i and so far as I know it is stilla part of the Nevada statutes. REY. DR. COREY'S VIEWS. Dr. Geo. H. Corey of the Metropolitan M. E. Church said toa Stan man: “I hold that the liquor traffic in this city and country is in every way illegitimate and unworthy of a civilized people, It furnishes special opportunities for the demoralization of society and the destruc- tion of individuals, It is the mother of vice and crime. The saloon exists on almost every corner and it is intrenched bebind the fash- ious, appetite and greed of men. We I cense it in vain attempts to regulate the sale of liquors, We talk of the revenue derived from it, when it is probable that every dollar the government receives from the sale of intoxicants coste ut thirty. Besides that established fact in economica we have drunken- ‘ness on every side, with its follies, its revels, it obscenity, its beastliness, crime’ and taxation. The liquor trafic is the marebaled and organized enemy of civilization, liberty, justice, human- ity, morality and religion. “and yet we talk of restriction—it tors found it wise to least one mile from the Soldiers’ Home lest the battle-scarred veterans should be tempted and destroyed.
