The place hunters trip lightly up the White Houso stairs with grat expectation written upon their countenances. You can read it in their faces as well as if it were uttered im words. There they come, marching up with bold and confident step, arrayed in expectant smiles. They are full of zeal, patriotism and admiration for the President, fondly believing, perhaps, that he has beon apprised of the services they have rendered the party and will be glad to see them. ‘THE CONGRESSMAN KNOWS BETTER. And the Congressman that is with thom—but they pass in? Marry, he has been there before, and knows full well what is before them. He can seo in his mind the cold, calm pres ence of the President, can anticipate how thoir hopes and enthusiasm will shrivel like a tender bad ou a frosty morning us the President looks at them with that steely giance, gazing directly them, yet appearing to see mothing in par " t the Congressman says nothing mneouseious, to put See them as they come out, with drooping head, listless step and sad, despondent mien.

ME, WILLSON OF BALTIMORE, Mr. A. A. Willson of Baltimore bas filed an application for appointment as marshal of the District of Columbia, the place filled under Mr, Cleveland's lust adaninistration by Mr. A. A. Wilson of this city.

When the subject of attiring the civilinu employes of the White House in distinctive dress came up this meinber said: ‘When the White House employes appear in | livery my district will go republican by a large | majority. If they ave going to do this thing they should doit up to the queen's taate an attire the mea ia sulmon-colored coats, buff veste, knee breeches, silver buckles ou’ their shoes ard powdered wige, ‘There is no uve ih mincing the matter; let's be) real English while we are about it.

The statement is made with much plausibility that, aside from the condition of the court docket, there was another and more potent reason which influenced the justices of the Ba- preme Court in declining to attend either the noval review or the opening of the world’s fair. ‘The justices felt ennbbed. They were not eat- fisfied with the position assigned them in the official program. They do not think it be- coming that they, occupying the conspicuous official position they do, should be huddled with Congressmen, assistant secretaries, gov- ernors and numerous subordinate officials of the government. Individually, it is reported, the Justices expressed a willingness to be thrown in with the party provided for the steamer Monmcuth, but asa body they con- sidered that on an ocension of such great of- ficial ceremony as the coming event they should have a place next in position to the President and cabinet. Remembering that the court once before de- clined an invitation to particlpate in an official event because the invitations had been extended to the members individually and not to the court as 's bods, the Navy Department took ®] 8 this time send a soparate invi- desea {justice and the chief Justice aud also one general invitation to the court as a whole. They had not anticipated that there would be aur objecticn to the accommodations provided on the Monmouth, or otherwise, it is sald, some different arrangement would have been made. On the occasion of the visit of the Supreme Court to Chicago list fall at the dedication of the world’s fair buildings the justices declined to make par: of the presidential train, and in- sisted upon having a special train of their own, Possibly if like special arrangements had been tendered them for the review and the fair open- ing their decision might have been different. ag pee SALOONS IN SOUTH WASHINGTON. 1 A Protest Against the Number Presented by Ministers. The Welegation of ministers from South Washington which recently cailed upon the Commissioners and and presented » general protest against the licensing of saloons in South Washington appeared before the board ain this afternoon and presented the follow- 'e, tho undersigned ministers of the gos- pel and school oftcials, being deeply inter- ested ir, the material and moral welfare of the colored people of the District, view with deep etarm and regret the extraordinary number of liquor saloons in that part of South Washington bounded by B and O streets south and South Capitol and 434 streets, tho colored population in this section being in a very largo majority. We urgently petition you to restrict the saloons to the businces streets and redeem this section from tho baneful intluences of the bar rooms that infest {t. ‘The bar rooms of this section are more humerous than the churches end the schools and are the inecting places of crowds of loafers, whose disorderly conduct, besides giving the neighborhood a bad name, by their very Presence mekes the atreet hideous by thelr ob- scenity and protanity which our echool ehil- dren ure compelled to hear because they are obliged to pass and repaw theve drinking places on their way to and from school or when sent on errands, and are exposed to tho vitiated atmosphere when they go outside of their own doors for auy purpose, It is hardly necensaty to add at this point thas in neigh- borhood studded with whisky chops, as is the cave here, all tho elements are present to lead the Loys astray, hinder the growth of modesty, refluement and purity among the girls and counteract and undo very largely the moralizing and elevating work done in our schools and churches. SINETY-ONE BAR HOOMS IN THIS DISTRICT, “This is a residence ssetion and in no rest- dence neighborhood of equal size anywhere in the city can #o large number of taloons be burdened and blight it. | ‘There are ninety-ouo bar rooms in the district | deseribed, peruaps more than ten times as | many ns’ could be found in some neighbor- | hoods where weulth, refinement, education and Lome training ‘are much more potent factors to resist evil than in South Washington, and it looks like a hardship that in thie section, witere the people are poor and uneducated, ain of evils sould be allowed to run riot and gather its harvest of poverty, Vico and crime, More money was epent in this section during the winter than| any other for ths poor. More arrests, | eapecially among the{colored peopie. are made | size, but these are the natural and legitimaie fruits of the deluge of ealoons thet has overwhelined this kection. We sincerely trust that you will take the ground that poor and uneducated people, even though they usk for them, should not be surrounded by these taloons, which take their money, biacken theie homes and rob their children of bread and clothing. We have instances of parents who while staggering under the influence of liquor have come to the schools to see about their children, What can the schools, the exposed, Many of these snioons are right at the doors of our schools and churchee, reaching out for our little ones before | they are beyond the shadow of the school houses or the sound of the preacher's voice has died ont of their ears, Gambling at their vers Goors and drunken men reeling from these aces are the sights they must witness a6 they ave their schovls and churches, ONE-SEVENTH OF ALL THE BAR ROOMS. “We would cail your attention to the fact that in tho forty-four squares in the section named, containing a population of 13,786, of whom 10.319, or about 75 per cent, are col- ored, we find about one-twentieth of our entire pop i ‘ty-four squares, co c twenty-sixth of the entire area oi the city, we found one-seventh of ail the bar rooms in the city.

All roads led to the District building today. Tt was the time set by the Commissioners to bu ted By the: yaniefpal sateen | t appointed by the m aut lericae should have absolute authority to sce that the rules and regulations which might heresfter be adopted by the Commissioners were strictly enforced. He would not like to seo.a regulation adopted that would. inter‘ere with rapid transit. He thoaght that if the cars were made to stop on the near side of the cross- ing it would be beneficial and prevent many aecidenta, Mr. M. P, Caldwell said that he lived in the vicinity of 14th and U streets, and had noticed the ranning of the electric ‘cars frequently. It bad always been a wonder to bim how it was that the motorman bad not been arrested, for the speed of the electric our was fully twenty-five miles an hour, and be had particulariy noticed that the mo- torman had no control over the stoppage of the car, for when he would apply the brakes the’ impetus of the car was #0 great that it would slide a long distance. He thought that all street cars should stop on the near ride. Ho based his opinion on two rea- sons: First, in the case of fire it would give the fire apraratus an opportunity to pass and, secondly, runaway teams would have ® free road and it would give pedestrians | and those in vehicles ample notice of the pres- ence of the car. He thought also that some- thing should be done to regulate the runnin; of loaded teams on 15th street. ‘The travel there, he seid, was very large and the liability to ‘accident great. Referring again to the electric road on U streot he said that the control of that crossing should be un- der a flagman appointed by that company. An electric car could be stopped or ite speed reg- ulaied much quicker and betier than a cabi car. Mr. Georze Hill, jr., of Georgetown renewed is compiaint of the ringing of the gongs on High street and urged that the cars be ro- quired to go into and come out of the stables as was done when horses were used, Mr, W. J. Frizzell, repr ng tho North- east Waehington Citizens’ Association, and Mr. Evan Tucker also spoke. Those present were Mossrs. J. C. Williams, M. P. Caldwell, W. J. Frizzell, Evan Tucker, George Hill, jr.. and C. B. Crople. ‘The secretary of the Rock Creek Railway Company has submitted a letter to the Com- missioners in which they call attention to the i rules g ing the running of the cars on U reeks especially. with Tespect to crowing 4th " street. These require the curs of the company to come to @ full stop on reaching 14th street, and that the conductor of cach car shall, on the cars stopping, leave his ear ahd walk before it into idih ‘street, amd that on seeing the way clear, and not’ until then, he shall so indleste to’ the motorman, who shall then, and not before,cause the car to resume its journey. ste ES HER TESTIMONY ACQUITTED HIM. A Girl and Her Married Lover Figure in a Police Court Case. Charles L. Granger, a cable car gripman, who resides at 1953 S2d street, Georgetown, and Anna Ryan, the seventeen-year-old daughter of Henry A. Ryan of No, 2541 Mesmore avenue, were the principal parties in an interesting case in Judge Miller's court this morning. Granger is» merried man, but has not lived wich his for several weeks. Three weeks ago Anna left her father’s home and weut with Granger. A marriage license Dearing their names was procured, bnt no cer- | emony was performed. Still the couple lived in the same house. Yesterday tho girl's father procured a warrant for Granger's arrest on a charge of immozaiity. When the caso was called in Judge Miller's court this morning the girl’s father was called to prove the age of his daughter. He could not tell her exact age, buthe thought she seventeen vears old her last birthday, which was three days ago, Under the law it was necessary to prove that she was under that age at the time of the | \. & alleged offense. Aiter telling his story concerning the daugh- ter's uze tae father eaid that Granger's wife had toid him she was willing to give her bus- band a divorce, end bo thought tuat if Granger would give bond to marry Anna when the di- Yorce was granted that would be the best way to eettle the affair. But Mr. Jeffords, the prosecuting attorney, said that such an arrangement had nothing to do with the case at present, ‘The girl was then put under cath and her sweet giances at the prisoner at the bar rendered it evident that there was a feeling of love ex- | isting between them which was not to be shat- tered by lawmakers, “Well,” said the court, “tell what has bap- pened between you and the defendant as affect- ing this charge.” “Nothing bas ever happened,” she responded as she turned toward the defendant and gave a smile of relict. He too seemed greatly relieved, and Lawyer Cabiil, nis counsel, ssid there seemed to be no | reason for a crost-examination. The judge diemissed the case. Anna theu started out of conrt and reaching the man wo aad becn acquitted she put her ore partly around him and they started off to- gether.
