The; like it, it is good for the children and then, last but not least, it is cheaper. A great,many people who are unable to summon enough courage to begin to buy a house in the city, al- though it dues not require ax much as some people seem to think, are induced by lower prices to make the venture on some house in the suburbs. In this way the suburban resi- dents are steadily increased in number and the work of building the greater Washington goes ‘THE WORK OF ELECTRIC ROADS, ‘The growth in the populaticn is recognized in @ practical form by the building of electric railroads, which is bringing remote localities into close connection with the business heart of the city. It is possible now to go out three and four miles from the bounds of the city in about the same time it used to take to go to Georgetown or to the navy yard. What the average man considers in ‘selecting the location of his home is not to much the distance as the time. If he can get to his business in the same time the only other consideration in selecting the place of his residence is one of individual taste or preference. Residents are becoming better acquainted with the country about the city owing mainly to the railrond facilities which make it possible to penetrate the suburbs in different directions. ‘The activity m the suburbs has not inter- fered with the progress in building up the city. On the contrary it has rather facilitated it. Te is found that the increasing population de- mands all the room that is available, and while sometimes it is said that there is too much Cosraxpant Navy Yarp: The department desires a report from available building space, yet this is only true on the supposition that the growth of the city the commandant concerning employes at the navy yard, Washington, D.

It is the intention of the department to effect areduction in this force whenever it can be done without detriment to the efficiency of the yard, and to maintain a high standard of capacity and efficieney among the employes, and to secure that organization and assign- ment of the force which shail be the best that can be made for the duties required. To this end you will. therefore, report with as little de- lay as possible: 1. Whether any mn oF positions now filled can be dispensed with? 2.

Please make this special and report at the earliest day. Very respectfully, H. AL Henprer, Secretary of the Navy. There is no likelihood of any general shake up at the navy yard, as the Secretary has re- peatedly stated his determination to adbere to the policy begun by Secretary Tracey of re- taining efficient employes regardless of their ——— THE Cc. M. CONFERENCE, It Opened Auspiciously Yesterday in the Miles Tabernacle. The district conference of the C. M. E. Church met in regular session yesterday at the Miles Tabernacle, on 3d street between L and New York avenue. Biskop J. A. Beebeo was expected to arrive in time to preside, but he did not do so, and the conference was opened by the pre- siding elder, Rev. W. H. Young, at 10:20 o'clock a.m. After the opening prayer by the Rev. J. E. Dixon, the presiding elder stated the purposes and objects of the conference and called for reports from the ministers present. Rev. L. W. Hillery was first called, and he re- ported gradual itmprovement in his charge. Revs. J. 8. Smothers, G. J. Hawkes, J. E. is to be checked in some way that has not yet been made apparent. + A SUBURBAN Hour. C. B. Keferstein, architect, is preparing plans for two handsome frame cottages that will be built in Takoma Park, near the spring, by Mr. J. D. Gibbs, who is now an extensive owner of real estate in the park. The cottages will have ‘on the first floor reception hall, stair hall, par- lor, dining room, pantry and kitchen, while above will be the eleeping apartments, with bath and linen rooms. ‘A FINE SHOWING. From the recerds of the bui ing inspector's ofice a statement has been prepared by the Building Kegister of the building operations of 1892, and also the first four months of the present’ year. The figures, it is stated, show that more money was invested last year in the construction of houses than during any other year in the history of the city, the total amount being $9,451,046. ‘This was no boom, because there is always a stendy increase in the building improvements of Washington, and no matter how much of an increase there is in any year, it is always fol- lowed by a larger amount the succeeding one. These Sgurcs reprevent only the ertimated cost as furnished by the parties building, and ax Inspector Entwiele states that these est mates will uniformly run 25 per cent less than the amount actually spent, it is safe to esti- mato that $42,000,000 were expended in the construction of buildings last year. Thin is a wonderfully good showing for ‘the future of the city, and must be very encour architects, builders and the furnishers of build- ing supplies. Probabiy the most important feature of all this is the fuct that a better and more sightly clnss of houves are being erected. The average cost per house inereases every year and last year was particniarly encouraging in this respect. During Januacv, February, Marci and April of the present vear there was spent in build- ings $2,986,770. MR. A. L. BARBER'S RESIDENCE. The residence of Mr. A. L.

The Government Responsible for Entertain- ing the Nation’s Guest. - The government will pay all bills presented for the entertainment of the Princess Infanta and the Duke of Veragua. This statement was made by Secretary Gresham to a Stax reporter in answer to inquiries whether bills sent to the State Department for money expended in en- tertaining the duke in Chicago would be al- lowed. With reference to the fact that as the city of New York had presented the duke with the freedom of thecityand defrayed the ex- penses attending the visit of the ducal party there, the municipality and the citizens of Chicago having also given him the city’s free- | dom might be expected to do the same while | the duke remained their guest, Mr. Gresham said he had no doubt that the people of Chicago would do what might be reasonably expected of them, but that he would pay all bills presented | for the duke's entertainment, Congress au- thorized the Secretary of State to provide for the entertninment of the Duke of Veragua and his suite while in the United States, and while no appropriation was made for that purpose Secretary Gresham cannot overlook the ex- ressed instructions of Congress in the matter. The duke is the guest of the nation, and as such all his needs and desires will be complied with at the expense of the general government.

Ragland against Messrs, Woodward & Lothrop, the pro- prietors of the Boston Dry Goods House, George F. Hendricks, their manager, and Charles E. Flinders, their private de- tective, claiming $20,000 damages for the false arrest and wrongful detention of the plaintiff at the store of the defendants, Wood- ward & Lothrop, on January 30, 1891, which had been on trial in Circuit Court No. 1, Judge Bradley, during the week, returned a verdict at 4o'clock awarding the plaintiff @15,000 da ages as against all of the defendants, ‘The jury were absent absent about half an hour, and verdict was not unexpected. JUDGE BRADLEY'S CHARGE. In charging the jury Judge Bradley said the case was one of great importance to both the plaintiff and the defendants. The suit was brought mainly for the vindication of the plaintiff. It was based or grew out of a very little thing, a napkin ring of the value of 75 cents. The arrest was unlawful, for Flinders bad no authority to make en arrest, and the jury believed, however, that Mrs. Ragland stole the defendants, A merchant undoubtedly had the right to protect his property, but he must “be careful to use only lawful means in doing so. On the other band it was the right and privilege of a customer to visit the store unmolested. If the jury believed that the pluinitf was innocent, then they should award such damages as’ would vin- dicate her innocence and prevent in the future the repetition of such » flagrant outrage. ‘The jury should in that connec- tion determine whether or not it had been shown thata ring had been stolen. But even if whe did take the ring the larceny of an arti- cle of thevalue of 75 cents did not constitute a felony, and therefore the arrest would not have been _author- ized. Outside of the testimony of Detective Flinders the theft of the ring was a matter of inference only. Flinders’ testimony had been characterized by both sides as they saw proper, and the court would leave it in the hands of the jury. with the remark that where a witness is found false as to one thing, it is likely that he is falso as to all others. If the jury believed that the plaintiff was unlawfully arrested and detained by Flinders, acting directly or indirectly for the defendants, then all the defendants were liable. An employer, said Judge Bradley, was not re- sponsible for the groms, willful, malicious and wanton acts of his employe through the mere employment of the person, but where the em- ployer participated in the wrongful acta of the employe, expressedly or impliedly, or subse- quently ratified the acts, then the employer is liable to puniative damages, but the damages, puniative and compensatory, should not exceed in all the sum claimed, $20,000. Mr. Davis noted an exception to the grant- ing of the three prayers of the plaintiff, and to those parts of the court's charge relative to punitive damages and all other parts antago- nistic to the prayers submitted on bebalf of the defendants, ———__ A Prominent Case. In the Criminal Court, Justice Bradley, this morning the cases of the Twin City National Bank agt. E. H Nebeker and the Lumberman ional Bank agt. J. N. Huston were tried and verdicts were directed for defendants, ‘There were actions to recover amounts retained by the defendants, who were at the time treas- urers of the United States, and Mr. J. J. Craw- ford, for the plaintiffs, sought to show that the defendants were responsible as individuals. ‘The defendants, represented by the district attorney, claimed that they acted iu accordance with their duties as officers and could not be held responsible. ‘The court ruled that they could not be held to account in this action and any redress they were entitled to should be through the Court of Claims. —_—>— Range of the Thermometer.

There isa great deal of unfavorable com- ment among some of the patent attorneys in reference to the charges made against ex-Com- missioner Simonds. Mr. A. Pollok, probably the oldest living practitioner in patent law in jashington, if notin the United States, hav- ing been continuously engaged in his practice for nearly forty yeurs, in 5] to a Sram reporter said: I have been counsel for the American Bell Company, and in that capacity have often had occasion to apply for copies of records of the patent office to be used in suits pending in the courts. Had any com- missioner ever refused to furnish a copy, which I deemed it my right to obtain, I would, as I have done in some cases, applied for a writ of mandamus to compel him to furnish it, THE ASSAULT ON THE EX-COMMISSIONER, The complaint of Drawbaugh’s attorneys regarding the furnishing of official copies of records,” continued Mr. Pollok, “would scarcely reach the level of a matter of public interest, but that it is made the occasion of a most atrocious assault upon the reputation of an ex-commissioner of patents, and of an honor- le firm of attorneys and solicitors of patents, The general public may be incapable of ap- preciating the merits of the charges made, but from the fact that the Secretary of the Interior bas been asked to strike the names of all these gentlemen from the roll of attorneys prac- ticing before that department it will inev- itably be inferred that they are charged with derelictions of a most serious nature. The punishment the Secretary ix asked to inflict is nothing less than professional death. The fault is therefore declared to be of a capital nature. This is perfectly understood by those who have become responsible for these outrageous charges against their professional brothers, and itis, therefore, but just to eet forth in’ the clearest manner what are the acts that consti- tute the foundation of these accusations. Stripped of all coloring and embroidery the charge is that Messrs. Foster and Freeman in the course of their professional business ap- plied for copies of patent office records, and that these copies were furnished to them. ‘It is not stated, though generally understood, that these copies were required for evidence in pend- ing litigation. THE LAW IN THE CASE. This matter is regulated by law, section 892, Revived Statutes, as follo “Written or printed copies of any records, books, papers or drawings belonging to the patent office * * * shall be evidence in all cases where the originals could be evidence, id any person making application, therefor and paying the fee required by law shall have certified copies thereof.” No distinction is made here or elsewhere in the law between pending and abandoned ap- plications; and though. for obvious rearons of expediency, the patent office has adopted a rule to keep the, records of pending applica tions in secrecy, the commissioner is the sole judge in any particular case as to whether the exigency justifies the relaxation of this rule of practice. Whether justified or not in the present case need not be discussed, though it may be remarked that, even in the patent office, the rule ceases to operate when partios come into conflict or in- torference, and that when the ends of justice or the enlightenment of a court require disclosure of evidence afforded by such records, the rea- son for the rule is properly regarded ‘as ceasing to exist. What is the proper view to take is of no im- mediate consequence. The serious and only important matter is that because they applied in accordance with the law above quoted for copies of official and public records and for legitimate and proper purposes, honorable members of an honorable profession are | held up to public robrium — by their professional brethren. For this cause, and this only, do the attorneys for Drawbaugh at great length and with much show of corroborative detail in the number of words copied, the names of the copyists, &c., petition a ‘new commissioner—a stranger to all the intricacies of the bureau—to order an “investigation,” and to & sentence upon the alleged offenders which would render them professional and social outcasts, The nature of the offense alleged is lost sight of in the gravity of the sentenco asked, and a cruel and wanton {injury thus “inflicted which can never be re- ired. In the whole length and breadth of the land there is no lawyer or patent solicitor against whom the same charges could not be made with 4s good foundation. No one is safe from such an attack so long as there are persons sufli- cientiy reckless to make them and ends suii- ciently important to be served thereby. THE PROBABLE UNDERLYING MOTIVE. In this connection one word as to the prob- able motive underlying this proceeding may not be amiss. To every one familiar with the history of telephone litigation, the idea that Drawbaugh desires to preserve “secrecy” with reference to the telephone patents he has been ‘on the point of taking out for the past thirteen Years, must appear a huge joke. The thing has been before the public for a dozen years. Any one who desires it can for a trifle be a Drawbaugh stockholder and a» part owner in these same applications that are so Jong in maturing to patent. ‘The suggestion that Drawbaagh has been in- jured and aggrieved by issuing copies of is records to courts, whose business is to pass upon his claims, has the appearance, at least, of in- congruity and absurdity. Apparently, it is no- toriety that bas all along been sought, and it cortainly is what is now being obtained through the wide publication of these charges, It is to be deplored that the advertisement of Drawbeugh’s wiephone applications and the fact that they are real, “live” cases could not be effected to the ati ‘tion of his associates and attorneys without resorting to scandal and sensationalism, and without calling upon the aid of rumor with hor thousand tongues, whereof nine hundred and ninety-nine are em: ployed in the dissemination of lying and slander. a THE CHINESE LAW. To Be Enforced so Far as the Money Goos— Protection Against Mobs. It has been decided that the Chinese exciu- sion act willbe enforcedito the extentof the abil- ity of the administration. ‘The prosecutions will goon aslong as the money holds out, and that is about all that can be done. Secretary Carlisle said today that he would certainly enforce the law as to deporting Chi- nese as far as the means at his disposal would permit. He intended to begin with that class of Chinese who are in this country illegally, having come in in contravention of the law of 184. Having sent this class out of the country he would then turn his attention to the other and larger class, those who have failed to comply with the Geary law as to registration. Bat 16,000 remains of the appropriation for the present fiscal year to curry out this law, but £50,000 will be available for that purpose on July 1 next. The Chinese minister bad another confer- ence with Secretery Gresham at the State De- partment in regard to the policy of this go ernment in regard to the Chinese residing in this country. ‘No official information can be obtained about the conference, but it is understood that the Chinese minister was assured that every caution will be taken to protect Chinese affected by the law from possible mob violence. ee RIFLE COMPETITIONS.
