Ris report showed 4,041 cases of cruelty to animals investigated, 3,835 of these being rem- edied and 233 prosecuted, from which Iatter the sum of €839.34 in finos and forfeited coi- lateral was realized. ‘The children's department had investigated 301 cases, 285 of which were amicably adjusted and sixteen prosecuted.

Cook to fill the vacancies in bonrd. * ‘THR WORE BEFORE TRE BOARD. ‘The superintendent of charities, Mr. Warner, through whose efforts mainly this legislation is due, in his annual report had the following to say of the work of this board: “Tt was not intended, or, indeed, possible, that this board should begin work during the cur- rent fiscal year, but only that it should organ- ize and be ready to proceed with its duties after the coming session of Congress. “Tt wili hereafter be unnecessary that the Dis- trict should be asked to contribute to the sup- port of any dependent child unless that child ts ard of the board of guardians. ‘There is certainly enough provision made by charitable means for the temporary care of the children of the poor. After organizing and ap- | pointing ite agents it will be the duty of the oard to investigate and pass upon the case of every child, whether at present in un institu- tion or not, which it is thought desirable that } the District thould support. If the court P | pealed to makew the child dependent then rd of guardians can place it to board in any priv & te institution, in any private family, or it in adoption ‘to foster parents if oppo: tunity offers. ‘The way in which a private in- stitution can secure public money will be to bring the cases of the children in ite care before the board of guardians, aud if the children are adjudged dependent then public money will be available to pay for their care ¢o long as they are in the institution. It will be seen that if the institution then wishes to serve denomina- tional or general humanitarian interests it can | do so, but at ita own cost, and not at tho cost of the taxpayers of the District. dition of the institutions for children may be re- lieved in consequence of (1) expert and thor- ough investigation of all oases (2), of the grad- hal introduction of the placing out evsiem. The introduction of this system in the Diatrict is somewhat experimental, but in so far as it can be introduced it is undoubtedly muck bet- ter and much cheaper than institution care. ‘The board of 8 will have suthority to lace out any child for the support of which the District is contributing. “Anothor possible benefit to be derived from the operation of the new board is the mitiga- tion of the pressure upon the reform schools, Many children are sent to these schools whom it is not necessary to retain in the institution for any considerable period, and by the new legis- such inmates conditional liberation under the guardiauship of the board of guardians. ‘Ss considerable time will necessary for the investigation of the cases of the 600 or more children now in subsidized private tnsti- | tutions, it is necessary that the board of guard- | tans should beat work some time before the uew fiscal arrangements for these institutions go into effect. I sball, therefore, ask that the money for the administrative oxpenses for the ailable upon the paseage of the appropriation bill. This will give four months in which to investigate cases before the iustitutions will have used up the mones appropriated to theiruse for the current THE APPROPRIATIONS, ‘Mr. Warner recommended the following ap- | propriatious to be made by Congress at the| | Present session: For administrative purposes, including sal- ries of agents, ex] in placingand visiting children and all office and suadry expenses, | $6,000. For the care of feeble-minded children, | 36.000. For the care of children under three vears | white and colored, @15,500. For the | .d care of children over three years of age, 228,000.

Harris, president of tho National Council for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Colored Race, an organization which had ite origin in Philadelphia eight years ago and now has branches in several of the larger cities of the United States, was presented and signed by a number of persons. One of the purposes of the petition is to have it made a capital offense to appear before a mob as & complainant, giving evidence which con- tributes toward the lynching of any person, It also asks an alteration of a focal law relating to collateral in the Police Court, and the petition asks that the term for redeeming collateral be extended twenty-four hours, thus relieving prisoners of the necessity of being present at the opening of court on the morning after their arrest and “giving all persons a chance to cor- rect uny error that may have been made by the court, as many of the cases brought into court are actuated by malice and spite in the polico office President Harris said that he had the promise of Senator Frye to introduce the petition in Congress whenover it should bo ready.

The chair said the committee would be announced. pial THE WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS. Miss Anthony Arrives—Preparations for the Coming Convention. ‘The National American Woman Suffrage As- sociation will hold its annual convention at Metzerott’s Music Hall next week. Miss Susan B. Anthony, the perennial champion of the movement, arrived here last evening and took Tooms at Willard’s, She is proud of the fact,) that this is her twenty-fifth annual pilgrimage to the national capital for the purpose of pre- senting to Congress the claims of her sex for equal suffrage. She thinks that the cause is Progressing, and the fact that her appointment by Gov. Flower as a member of the New York board of charities has just been confirmed br the state senate seems to indicate that Miss Anthony, at least, is advancing in public favor. ‘The conventioh will opén Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock with a sermon by Rev. Anna F. East- mean of the Gongregational Church. Senator Carey of Wyoming will open the convention Proper Monday morning with an address of welcome to the delegates. Seasions will be held daily from Monday until Thursday, and many Prominent woman muffragists re expected to e in attendance. Their headquarters will be at Willard's Hotel, where Miss Anthony is al- ready domiciled in room 62. a THE THEATRICAL MECHANICS. ‘Thetr Relations With the National and the Academy of Music. The trouble between Mr. Rapley, proprietor of the National Theater and Academy of Mu- sic, and his stage employos has not been settled to the satisfaction of the Knightsof Labor. Mr. James McGuirk, chairman of the executive board, D. A. 66, K. of L., has prepared the fol- lowing statement regarding the case: “Tho theatrical mechanics are an organized body, affiliating with the Knights of Labor and Federation of Labor of the District. A moder- ate scale of wages was made out and presented to Mr. Rapley for his acceptance. He, how- ‘ever, refused to recognize the scale or make any advance whatever. Under these circum- stances the mechanics deemed it advisable to appeal to District 66, K. of L., to aid them in bringing about the desired result. The matter was placed in the bands of the executive board, which, after mature consideration as to the justice of their demand, decided to call on Mr. ley and endeavor to bring about an agree- able settlement. He, however, was inexorable, and positively refnsed to make any compromise. Three visits were made with the same result, The executive board then reported back to the district, when it was determined by a unanimous vote of delegates | present that Mr. Rapley be immodiately noti- | fled that until such time as he decided to recog- nize the Theatrical Assembly and advance their wages from @6 to $8 per week and 3334 cents per hour overtime organized labor would re- fuse to patronize his theaters. These demands are modest and do not compare favorably with other cities, where wages range from $9 to $10 per week and 50 cents per hour overtime, The Work is at times very laborious, and on Satur- day nights they are compelled after the per- formance is over to work often until 2 a.m., Sunday removing scenery without extra com: pensation. It is true he bas of his own volition advanced the men from 86 to 87 per week, with | 833, cents per hour overtime, but has persist- ently refused them recognition as an organiz tion. Mr. Rapley can give no valid reason for his refusal to recognize the theatrical me- chanics, as he already recognizes the Musicians’ Assombly and gets along with them on the most amicable terms.” y — GEORGETO! At bountifully spread tables the patrons of the Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank wore yester- day entertained by the stockholders, the large meeting room of the directors being the banquet hall. Several hundred citizens ac- cepted the verbal invitation extended.
