THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©. THURSDAY AUGUST 8, 1893. ‘MY WIFE And I, writes = gentleman who formerly resided in Connecticut, but who now resides at Honolulu, “for ‘QW years past have used Ayer’s Hair Vicor. and we attribate to it the dark hair which she and I now have, while hundreds of our acquaintances, ten or a dozen years younger than we, areeither cray headed, white, orbeid. When asked how our hair has reteined its color and fullness, we reply, “By the use of Ayer's ‘Hair Vigor—nothing else.” Antonio Alarrun of BastSop, Texas, tells why he RECOMMENDS the use of Ayer’s Hair Vicor: “In 1868, my affianced was nearly bald, and the hair kept falling out every day. T induced her to use Ayer’s Hair Vicor, very soon it not only checked any further loss of hatr, but produced an entirely new erowth, which hasremained Jusuriant and glossy to this day.

It ts probable that the democratic mem- bers of the Senate may caucus about the middle of the week to determine the dis- tribution of patronage under the secretary of the Senate and the sergeant-at-arms, but no call for that purpose has yet been issued. There may be a little delay in this owing to the fact that the courtesy which exists among Senators will require them to wait the action of the republicans in de- termining what men shall be kept as the representatives of the minority.

Wilson during the latter part of the month. nap She Must Sai Special orders have been issue? by the Navy Department to hasten the departure of the cruiser Charleston, now fitting out at Norfolk, for service on the Pacific sta- tion, and it is expected that she will sail | in a few days. ‘The lack of grate bars for her rurnaces, which was the original cause of the delay, 4s no longer an obstacle to her departure, as orders have been given for the vessel to sail without them. They will be made at San Francisco and forwarded to her at the most convenient point on the Pacitic. Un- less this vessel sails in a few days an oiti- cial investigation will be instituted to de- termine the cause and responsibility for the failure to comply with the orders of the department.

An Accident to the American Yacht Navahoe. SHE WAS LEADING AT THE TIME —— Forced to Leave the Race for Repairs. BREEZE TOO STRONG FOR HER. AN ACCIDENT TO THE NAVAHOE. The Jaws of Her Gaff Were Broken and She Had to Leave the Race. LONDON, Aug. 3.—The yacht race for the Town prize of £100, open to yachts of over thirty tons, took place today. The course covered a distance of fifty miles. The start was from Cowes, Isle of Wight, and the yachts sailed twice to and around the Warner lightship and back. When the starting gun was fired at 10 o'clock the Satanita and Valkyrie were well under way, and they practically crossed the line together. The American yacht Nava- hoe followed them closely, and she in turn was followed close up by the Calluna. A strong westerly wind was blowing and constantly gaining in force. Just after the start it gained a sudden accession of strength and blew a whole gale. The Na- Vahoe got the best position to windward and retained this advantage until Leep shoal was reached. After rounding the buoy the Sata- nita set her jib topsail. Valkyrie had her topmast housed throughout the race. ‘The course was covered in the quickest time on record. ‘The yachts finished at the following time; Satanita, 1.42.15; Valkyrie, 1.50.30. ‘The Satanita allows the Vaikyrie two minutes and five seconds, and, therefore, she actually won the race by six minutes and ten seconds. The Prince of Wales and the German emperor were on board the Valkyrie during the race. ‘ At this point the observers on shore saw her suddenly keel over until her rail was well under and everybody thought she was going. to turn completely over. Her main sheet was played out completely and she soon righted. She made a second attempt fo catch up with the leaders, but her main sail fell. It is learned that the breaking of the jaws of her gaff was the cause of the mainssil’s dropping. After a littie de- lay and apparently much excitement on board, the mainsail was again hoisted as well as could be done under the circum- stances, and under considerable reef the Navahoe headed up for Southampton water, evidently going to Southampton for repairs. It is stated that the Navahoe is at full liberty to alter her center board as Mr. Carroll, he> owner, pleases. The yachtsmen who have been watching the performance of the Navahoe with critical eyes are now emphatic tu their opinion that she is useless in a stiff breeze. The advocates of the superiority of English built racers are much elated at the poor showing of the Navahoe in today's gale. Calluna also met with an accident. She fouled the steam yacht Cleopatra shortly after passing Leep shoal and broke her = and tore her mainsail. She was, there- fore, compelled to cive up the contest. ‘The Satanita and Valkyrie sailed well in the heavy wind. The former crossed the finishing line elght minutes ahead of the Vallcyrie. SOUTHAMPTON, Aus. 3.—The Navahoe arrived here this morning with her mainsail split. The satl was taken ashore to be re- paired. The yacht will be ready to race again on Saturday and may be able, to take part in the race tomorrow. ae BECAUSE HE SUSPECTED HER. Benjamin Horsford Puts His Arm Around His Wife and Shoots Her. GLOUCESTER, Mass., Aug. 3—Benja- min Horsferd late last night attempted to kill his wife. He comes from Westfield, Mass. Believing that his wife was unfaith- ful, he came here yesterday for the express purpose of killing her and her alleged para- {Sour and, then to take his own Iife. The wdian had been working as a domestic in the family of City Engineer Webber in this city and her husband called last night and asked her to take a walk. ‘When they reached the vicinity of Green street, in a remote part of the city, known as Portuguese Hill, he informed her that he had married her to live with her and not for her to live with another man; that he was faithful to her, and if she did not live with him she would live with no one a ‘The woman denied the allegations made inst her. Putting his arm around her jorsford pulled 2 revolver from his pocket and fired, the shot taking effect in his wife's jaw. He let go the woman and started to leave, but she came towards him and he fired a second shot, when she fell. ‘Thinking she was dead he then discharged three more shots at her. John Stanley, who resides close by, heard the reports of the revolver, left his’ house to investigate, and on searching the street found the woman lying on the ground. She was immediately carried into the house and physicians summoned. She cannot live. When the police were notified they repaired to the scene, searched the locality and succeeded in finding Hors- Horsford says his wife's name before marriage was McPherson, that he was born In Kentucky and was'a schoolmate of the notorious Jesse Jam: ‘Horsford’s accounts of his alleged rival are not very clear. At one time he sald the man followed his wife from Westfield and later said he did not know the man at all. ——— DISASTROUS CONFLAGRATION.

Bears Had Most Infivence in Wall Street’s Transactions Today. Special Disnatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Aug. 3,—There were some traces left of the bear panic of the last half hour of Yesterday's trading this morning, but the news, barring a small importation of gold by the Revere Bank of Boston. was rather in the bears’ favor. The first cables were higher, but were accompanied by the announcement that the board of governors of the Bank of England had increased the rate of discount 1¥e. from 21¢ to 3 per cent, presumably to check gold exports to this country. ‘A number of interests started in at the open- ing of our market to play for a reaction and they sold the whole list freely. The room traders followed them to an extent, but as all offerings were quickly absorbed at only slight concessions from the opening prices, which were, however, fractionally lower than’ yester- closing ‘bids, the Inter element turned tail and prices advanced sharply, especially in those stocks that have lately received “inside” support, such as Chicago Gas, and General Electric. London bought its specialties on a very moderete scale, but the demand from the sharps was large. A great many stocks were returned in the lonn crowd, but that there is still a large short interest outstanding is shown by the loaning rates,a shave being still exacted on all the active shares of 1-64 to $4, tho higher rate being for New York Central. It soon became apparent that the buying power was not equal to the rapid and on the midday announcement that the loan com- mittee of the cleuring house hud suthorized an additional issue of loan certificates to the amount of $2,800,000, bringing the grand total outstanding up to $83,050.000, the interests above mentioned started in afresh for a reaction, and the selling becoming general, the market commenced to droop and material dec followed all along the list, extending in instances to 4 per cent under the best prices, but the bears are timid after the severe punish- ment they have undergone during the past few days, and did not follow up their advantage, and the market at 2:30 p.m. was more active and stronger and gave every indication of clos ing higher. It is difficult to get accurately the gold ship- ments from the other side, but the total amount shipped this week will approximate $10,000,000, rather over than under that amount. ‘Money on cail continues very easy, opening at 4 per cent and ranging 3a4 all day. Foreign exchange was a little stiffer, owing to the action of the Bank of England ‘in ad- vancing the rate of discount, Brown Bros.’ posted rates were 4813{a4833¢. ‘The clearing house operations were as fol- lows: Exchanges, $91,518,709; _ balances, $4,693,498; assistant treasurer at New York debit balance, $273,109. It was stated that the big issne of loan certificates was made to facili- tate gold imports, but the announcement cre- ated very unfavorable impression in the etreet, ‘A sudden break in Chicago gas during the last few moments caused a renewal of the sell- ing of the enrlier hours, and market closed irregular, with a feeble rally from lowest rices, but showing 2n5 per cent net declines From ihe best figures of the da FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, owing are the opening, the highest and the The fol are vets ing, 7 of the New York ste nee coe ascis RAS Chex & Ohi st feazo.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. Atlantic City, N. J., August 2, 1893. Judging from present indications the boys of the crack Washington Light Infantry are sure of a big welcome when they come to this city on the 20th of this month. Though they make their advent at the busiest time of the year the citizens’ committee will find opportunity to get to- gether and arrange for their reception. The Morris Guards, South Jersey's crack military and social organization, will prob- ably participate in the welcome and act as guard of honor. It is not definitely known Just yet what plans will be adopted for the entertainment of the soldiers, but it is a certainty that their stay will be one con- tinued round of pleasure, and leave behind at its close, naught but regrets that the period was of such short duration. Per- haps a few sorrowing hearts may also be counted in what will constitute the “echoes” of the camp, for brass buttons have an ‘enormous captivating power for the sum- mer girl, and the systematically-laid-out avenues ‘of the encampment are always made bright by the presence of bevies of charming maidens charitably helping the poor soldier boys while away the monotony of camp-life. Of course the “poor boys” in question enjoy just such “monotony” as this and encourage the you! jadies in the belief that they are doing a kindly act. The spacious lawn fronting the St. Charles Hotel has been selected as the spot on which the tents are to be pitched, and the spot has the big advantage of being di- rectly on the beach, within almost a stone's throw of the surf, and in close proximity to most of the leading amusement enter- prises on the board walk. It is a pleasant fact to note the increase in the list of names of Washingtonians who are making a stay at any of the lar- ger hotels. It may seem a curious fact, but Washington nents. are generally dis- tinguishable from other guests at the ho- tels. There is no distinctive way in which they can be told, yet there is about them a certain air of’ exclusiveness, yet combined with a large degree of open- heartedness, that at once marks the resi- dent of the capital city. Hotel proprie- tors like to entertain them, and cater to their wants in every possible way. Just why, the proprietors themselves cannot say, but are content with the ex- istence of the fact. Bathing in the surf is at {ts finest now, and is enjoyed by thousands every day. One or two days this week the water was slightly cooler than it should be for com- fort, but it made so little difference to those who consider 2 daily dip in the waves @ necessary feature of their stay here, that the bath house keepers did not feel the effects of the existing coolness of the water. Although the week-day crowds are in number sufficient to give the beach a most busy appearance, yet on Sunday is the throng seen in all its magnitude. Then {t is that the Sunday excursionist adds himself to the crowd of regular visitors, and joining in with the deluge of the heated would-be bathers surrounding ste bathing establishment, clamors for a sui! obtains It, and is soon disporting in ‘th surf with other happy mortals. le is not of the kind to take his bath temperately, and remain in the water for an hour oF two at the most, but when the bathing suit is once donned, it is likely to remain on the entire day, alternating between water and sand bath: Every seaside resort, no matter of what prominence, has one or more unique char- ‘ters who go toward making up the per- sonnel of the town. Atlantic City is not lacking in this necessary adjunct to a pop- viar watering place, and rejoices in the pos- session of Capt. Black. who is known under the quphonious title of “The Velvet-coated Hero," and sundry other cognomens, and Prof. Walters, better designated as the "Commodore of the Life Raft.” The first of this curious duo 1s a great life saver, and, despite his uncontrollable desire for notortety, has placed to his credit the res- cue of a good many persons from death in the water and is at present a member of the city life-saving corps. His beat is on part of the beach where bathers are not £0 numerous and consequently he has not had so much opportunity this season to display his prowess as was his wont, though the material returns for the lives he did save were somewhat greater than usually fall to the life guards, a Pennsylvania news- Paper man, whom he rescued in the vicinity of the iron pier, having given the captain a handsome reward. The vallant “fe saver tin trouble with the police authorities a few weeks ago by reason of not appearing at roll call, he claiming that his valet did not awaken him in time. He made the dire threat, however, that he would not be sponsible for any lives lost on his beat while he was suspended, and, of course, the authorities pl him back on duty. Iker has become so well known to the habitues of Atlantic City that a summer would not be complete without his presence, at least in his opin- fon, and he accordingly appears here every June, usually after a tramp from the far south, where his winters are usually spent, Professor” is a crank on the subject of life saving appliances, and has devised a raft which he uses dally here, but whose practical powers have not yet been suffic- iently demonstrated to insure its adoption as a medium for saving lives. The profes- sor 1s a genius, and can quote Shakes- peare and the poets with the same ease that he can put together rhyme, a faculty in which he is by no means deficient. He maintains hie existence on the proceeds of the daily exhibitions he gives with his raft, and is now after the citizens of Atlantic City to send him to the world’s fair, where he is satisiled his very presence would ad- vertise this resort. A young Washington society man who is sojourning down here at one of the big hotels, but whose name it would be cruel to mention here, was the victim of a dis- comfiting occurrence on the beach yester- day which promised amusement for a large crowd of onlookers. He was arrayed Ina suit of immaculate white, and was accom- panied by a massive St. Bernard dog, who would go out far into the waves after a stick thrown by his master. Rover appar- ently got tired of the diversion after he had breasted the breakers three times, but at the command of the young man went out the fourth time. | © return with the stick, and, deposit- ing it on the sand, waited until his master had leaned over to pick it up, when he be- gan shaking his shaggy, dripping coat. The water flew in all directions and when the young man finally succeeded in getting out of range of the deluge he was a sorry-look- ing spectacle. His neat white suit and neglige shirt were limp, and he had the ap- Pearance of but recently coming from un- der a shower bath. ‘The dog realized that he had done something wrong and sneaked away up South Carolina avenue, while the young Washingtonian hired a "bus and got away as quickly as possible, Congressman Meyer of Louisiana ts rest- Ing here for a few days previous to attend- ing the extra session this month, e names of Mr. and Mrs. Henry L.

Some Policemen Work Up Their Aver- ages by Curious Methods. ‘The reopened case of the young man, Ed- gar Ford, who was arrested near Stanton Park, as heretofore published in The Star, was tried in the Police Court today before Judge Taylor. Lawyer E. H. Thomas ap- peared in the case. Policeman Barney, who made the arrest, was sworn and sev- eral witnesses, among them being three lit- tle girls, were called, but all thaf was shown was that the young man was stand- ing on the pavement talking to two of the girls. There was no disorder whatever, nor was there any bad language used, so the witnesses said. Mr. Pugh argued that a technical violation had been shown and asked the court to take Ford's personal bonds. To this Mr. Thomas objected, say- ing that if there was any such violation the young ladies were also guilty. Judge Taylor said that if the young man ought to be held in this case it would be a sad thing for many young ladies and gentlemen who stop on the pavement and stand there a few minutes to engage in conversation. The judge saw no reason why such a course should be pursued and disinissed the case. ‘There was also another charge against Edgar Ford, and one of his companions, Carl Freeland, was charged on the informa- tion with him with disorderly conduct on C street, Apeoeite, the park Monday evening. It was shown that a number of boys were in the party and that two or three of them struck at one boy in a playful way. Officer Barney came along at that time, but did not make any arrests. Later he swore out a warrant and arrested the parties charged. ‘The excuse the oificer gave for not arrest- ing them at the Ume, so one of the wit- nesses said, was that he had too much on his mind and he wanted to wait until the Ford case was over. Judge Taylor held that the law had been technically violated in this case and took their personal bonds. beventeal A Young Woman in Male Attire. Yesterday a telegram was received at po- lice headquarters requesting the apprehen- sion of Miss Lizzie Dove, who left her home in Leesburg Sunday and was supposed to have come here. She was described as a refined pretty young lady, who had been seen in male attire, stri trousers, dark blue coat and vest and straw hat. The detectives learned from Mr. F. PB. Russell of the civil service commission that Miss Dove had reached his house, near the W. and Q, junction, in Alexandria county, V Monday night, having tramped from Lees burg. She stated that her mother was di and her father a drunkard, and she had been living with an uncle at Oatlands, near Leesburg. The uncle having decided to send her to her father she decided to leave and donned male attire that she might es- cape Insults on the road. She was cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Russell, and Tuesday ghe found a home in Alexandria. The Lees- burg authorities were notified of the facts. —_—— Suing a Contractor. Yesterday afternoon District Attorney Birney filed a sult against Edmund G. Wheeler, as principal, and Harry P. Gil- bert and Wm. A. Pate, as sureties, and also one against Edmund Wheeler, as prin- cipal, and Edwin N. Gray and’ Wm. 5. Hodge, as sureties, to recover in the first case a bond of $2,500, and in the second a bond of $00, because of Wheeler's alleged failure to carry out contracts entered into between him and the War Department for the purchase by Wheeler of waste paper. He Was Not Disorderly. During the hearing of the case of Fred Copp, the young man arrested in the Shea raid Tuesday night, in the Police Court yesterday the charge was dismissed be- cause of a defect in the information and later in the day a warrant was procured for his arrest. Last evening the warrant was served. ‘The case ‘was tried in court this morning, but the officers failed to show that the prisoner, was disorderly. As stated | yes- terday, he was at the house to see Annie Shea, ‘and when the raid was made he asked, “What's the matter’ Then he was hustled out of the house and taken to the statign. Judge Taylor said that the proof did Hot show that the young man was dis- orderly and dismissed the case. ——— Needs a License. Charles W. Scott, a young man tried in the Police Court today for being an unli- censed produce dealer, claimed that the produce he handled was sent him by his uncles from Maryland and Virginia, but Policemen Breen and Sullivan showed that he also. purchased vegetabies in the clty. Judge Taylor held him Mable under the law and required him to procure a li- cense. et Somewhat Damaged. Capt. Lucien E. Robey, station master at the Baltimore and Potomac depot, and Henry E. Garnett, a postal clerk, ficured fn an assault case tried in the Police Court today. The former appeared as de- fendant and the clerk as the prosecuting witness, The latter exhibited a black eve as the result of the personal encounter and he also told the court that he was under the care of a physician and was in no condition to engage in a fight. It appeared in proof that Capt. Robey had undertaken to give some instructions for the benefit of the clerk and the fight followed. The charge was dismissed. a Test of Armor-Piercing Projectiles. Capt. Shaler, acting chief of the bureau of ordnance, War Department, has been notified that the Midvale Company have shipped a sample lot of elght-inch armor- piercing projectiles to Sandy Hook to be tested. The projectiles are three in number and are made under the Holtzer patent and are the first Jot of American Hoitzers ever manufactured. Mr. Bruceline _ superin- tended their construction, coming to this country for that purpose. They” will be | given a velostic test against a nine-inch plate, and as they are the first American | product of this kind much interest is felt in the trial. —— Retter Lamps. For some little time past Capt. Powell, the Engineer Commissioner of the District, has been considering the matter of an im- proved form of gas lamps, feeling satisfled that the lamp that is now in use is not all that it should be in the matter of light| diffusing properties.

Report on the Railroad Crossing at University Station. INSPECTOR BEGGS RECOMMENDATIONS. What He Deems Necessary for the Public Safety. OTHER ACTION TAKEN. About a fortnight ago the Citizens’ As- sociation of Brookland sent a letter to the Commissioners calling their attention to the dangerous railroad crossing at Uni- versity station on the Bunker Hill road. ‘The complaint was referred to General Inspector E. Y. Beggs of the engineer de- partment, who made a report on the sub- ject. Capt. Fiebeger thought his sugges- tions were good, and should, if posible, be carried out. In approving the report, Capt. Powell recommended that the police de- partment require compliance with section 16, article 10, of the police regulations; that Inspector Begg’s report be approved, and that a copy, showing approval, be furnish- ed the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany. Inspector 8 just made public, ts as follows: bate examined, the pint. forms and crossings of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the Brookland and South Brookland stations, with a view to deter- mining what is required at those points in the way of security against accident and of improvements for the accommodation of the traveling public, and would suggest the following as necessary to accomplish those 8 to the platforms at the Brookland stations I would suggest, as tending to promote the welfare both of the railroad company and its patrons, the extension of the existing platforms ‘at their present width on both sides of the track 125 feet to the north to accommodate the length of the average train stopping at this point, which, as a rule, is com f three senger coaches ‘and a car. This would afford ample room for passengers to get on or off any part of the train from or upon the platforms. “As to the crossing I would recommend, as absolutely necessary to the convenience and safety of the public in general, the erection of double gates with side arms. This crossing is now protected with single gates without side arms, which do not, in my opinion, effectually provide against ac- cident, particularly to foo! sengers. “I also recommend the solid planking of the roadway of the crossing, which is now very rough and uneven, to meet the gate posts when erected, and the laying of wooden foot- walks to extend across the tracks under the side arms of the gates when down and to meet the footwalks on the sides of the roadway beyond the tracks. “At the South Brookland station I would suggest for the better accommodation of travel the extension of existing platforms on both sides of the tracks to meet the sides of the roadway crossing at this point, and also the erection of sheds for waiting passengers. At present the platforms at this crossing are unprovided with places of shelter, and it is necessary for persons desiring to take a train at this point to walk a considerable distance from the road- way in order to get upon the platforms, whereas, if they were extended as suggest- ed, they could step upon them at once. ‘+The solid planking of this crossing is also necessary as a matter of public conveni- ence. The amount of travel at this point, howeve>, does not justify the erection of safety gates. I would not recommend the erection of fences as indicated upon the plan submitted by the Brookland Associa- tion, for the reason that I think it would only tend to complicate matters and in- crease the liability to accident. The Brook- land station ts sufficiently well lehted, and lights are unnecessary at the South Brook- land station.” A Private Dismissed. ‘The Commissioners today ordered the dis- missal of Private Mendenhall of the police force on the charge of drunkenness. This was the case referred to in The Star yes- terday of Officer Mendenhall, who was twice tried on the same charge, but let off the first time on his promise to change his a A Proposal Accepted. ‘The proposal of H.

B. Gurley. With it is also submitted the annual re- port of the treasurer, Mr. B. T. Janney, which gives the condition ‘of the funds of the school. The amount appropriated by Congress for the maintenance of the school was $13,- 0, and an itemized account of the expen ditures 1s appended. The bank fund, which is made up from contributions, and from the sale of the products of the in- stitution, such as flowers, plants, articles made in the carpenter shop, amounted to $1,8S426. Of this sum $171.33 was ex- pended, leaving a balance of $1,509.93. In his report as president "Mr. ‘Gurley then goes on to say: “The appropriations of Congress for this charity for a number of years past, have been uniformly, for mainhtenance,$12,50; and the number of in- mates has been in the neighborhood of 100, The last Congress, however, reduced the appropriation for maintenance for the current fiscal year, 1893-4, to $7,860, and re- ferred us to the board of children’s guar- dians for the supply of such deficiencies as might occur. This reduction, however, as crease in the number of inmates in the home, and this was effected, to a great ex- ten’ by leaving unfilled the vacancies which were constantly made by discharg- ing the children for whom places were found, or who were reclaimed by their par- ents and friends. In this way our number was reduced to seventy-five, and the board of children’s guardians undertook to pro- vide for the support of ten others, so that we have now only sixty-five dependent up- on our reduced appropriation, and it will be sufficient during the current fiscal year. “We, however, venture to hope that the arrangement at the last session of Congress by which our appropriation was so greatly reduced will be only temporary, and we have, therefore, made our estimates with a view to the care of our full number of 100 inmates instead of only sixty-five. It does not indeed appear that Congress in- tended to cripple our operations by with- holding a part of the usual appropriation, since the terms of the reference to the board of guardians, which are very vague, would perhaps have warranted that board in at once turning over to us out of their appropriation the amount which Congress, had cut off of ours. This, however, they did not feel authorized to do, but undertook to provide for a certain number of our wards, as already stated. But this ar- rangement, if made permanent, can hard- ly prove satisfactory. Our powers of con- trol over our wards ‘are entirely different from those of the board of guardians, and our objects and methods are to a great extent different. To have in the home two classes in the children, one of volun- tary inmates, bound by no legal obliga. tions except those contracted with us by parents or friends, and the other of com- pulsory inmates, committed by the courts to the board of guardians, and by them placed in the home, and responsible for their conduct only to the home, can hard. ly fail, in the course of time, to give rise to difficulties, though of what character cannot now be foreseen. “We therefore hope that the Comission- ers of the District will recommend the res- | toration of our appropriation to its former | amount, particularly as our buildings and appliances, and our whole organization are | perfectly adapted to the care of 100 in- | mates, and, indeed, to the care of fifty more, if Congress would provide for their sustenance, and we have in all our ar- rangements had in view the enlargement of the number instead of its reduction. The other items of the estimate are, first, 2.500 for a green house. The raising of flowers for sale is the most profitable in- dustry carried on at the home. It re- turned a net surplus last year of more | than $300 over and above all expenses, in- cluding the pay of the professional florist | employed. The greenhouse was injured by |a storm last winter, and a new building, | in “which the work ‘could be extended, is very desirable. The remaining items’ of the estimate are $4,000 for repairs to the old building, and for a hospital bulld- be some time before he is able to attend to his duties. ing.

Chief Parris of the fire department has submitted to the Commissioners his report for the month of July. He states that there were twenty-four alarms of fire during the month, an in- crease of three over the month of June, and an increase of eight over the month of July, 1892, ‘The estimated losses were $5,835, covered by an insurance of $4,115, against a loss of $10,155, with an insurance of $6,610, for the preceding month, and a loss of $59,400 with @n insurance of $4,175 for July, 1892. ‘There were also’ twenty-three local, or still alarms, the lorses amounting. to '$i5,~ %6, with an insurance of $4.90. Included in this @mount is $15,000 for the burning of the bam at the reform school. |» Teference to changes In force, Chief Parris states that Private Warren re- signed, und Timothy Killigan was appoint- to “fill the vacancy, subject to twelve months’ probation.

Archaeologists and antiquarians tn their writings frequently refer to the manufac- ture of flint arrow heads, &c., as “a lost art;” that is a great mistake. The art is probably lost to the Indians because they have no use for it. The stone implements have given place to those of iron and steel, and the rifle and revolver have supplanted the flint ax and arrow head. The art of making them is not lost, however. ‘There are many collectors of relies of the aborig- ines who have studied the art of working in flint and have become adepts.
