ON SAVINGS (Open until 5 p.m. oa a y days, and er: day evenings = 12 Batu: er from 6 to 8.) An Appeal for the Soda Water Boys. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have noticed with pleasure that Con- gress is beginning to take a little interest in the wage-earners of our city in pro- viding seats for the over-worked shop girls. While this is highly commendable, another oppressed fraternity have been entirely | overlooked—the boys at the soda foun- tains. If there is a class of overworked, poorly paid individuals in this city this is the class. These boys go to work at 8 in the morning end werk until 11 o’clock at night, with an hour or half-hour for meals. Nothing is furnished to sit down on; so there they have to stand seven days in the week for thirteen hours a day! Think of it, you elght-hour law agitators! Standing on your feet for thirteen hours a day, and this for $3 per week! I'll leave it to any ene who knows anything at all about it if there are a dozen drug stores in the city that pay their soda boys over $3 a week. And the fountain is a dyspepsia and rheumatism | breeder. It breeds dyspepsia because the boys frequently live a long way from the store, and they have to run home, bolt their food and hurry back again in an hour or half-hour; rheumatism, because there is always water under one’s feet. In some stores they provide a wooden mat to stand on, but most of them have nothing at all. The boys work for about five months in the r, and for about two months after they quit work for the summer the physician re- ceives the benefit of their labor. I know one boy who has been laid up all winter with inflamraatory rheumatism, as a_re- sult of trying to earn spending money dur- ation. There is an urgent need for xht-hour law, or to have seats pro- r these, the most oppressed of the oppressed in our capital city. Congress ought certainly to see that something is done for these poor boys immediately. “ONE OF THEM.” ae After robbing the general store of J. J.

It is Participated in by a Number of the Members—The Program for This Afternoon. The union meeting of the Maryland State Dental Association and the Washington City Dental Society was continued this morning in the big lecture room of the Na- tional Law School, on 18th street between H and I streets. The meeting was presided over by Dr. W. E. Dieffenderfer, president of the local society, and the morning was erlivened by a spirited discussion on one of the most important matters connected with the profession. Dr. Rich of New York, one of the leading entists of the country, and one whom all his associates delight to honor, made the statement this morning that if all other branches of the business were left out of consideration, excepting the filling of teeth, there would still be left by far the most tm- portant part. So it was only natural that when the subject of the best forms of material for filling and the proper methods of using them was broached that there should be a discussion in which many of the leading spirits of the two associations took A Vast Difference of _inion. It was not long before it was evident to the outsiders, who are not familiar with the subject, that there was a vast difference of opinion among these authorities as to the relative merits of the various substances used in the plugging up holes in teeth. Many a person sitting in the operating chair has reached the idea that there were various ways of filling teeth that were not to their liking. Just why this was they did not know, of course, for there are some | who do not enjoy the sensation of ving a hammer, a mallet and a driving wheel at work all at the2same time in their mouths. It appeared this morning that it all comes about through a disagreement among the doctors as to whether cohesive or non-cohesive gold, soft gold as it is some- times called, is better for the purpose. Over Dr. Hugo’s Paper. The discussion came up over the consid- eration of a paper presented last evening by Dr. L. C, F. Hugo on the subject of soft gold fillings. Dr. Hugo is not restrict- ed to the use of this one form of gold, but is rather an eclectic, doing whatever he considers the best in each particular case. In his paper, however, he referred to the success that had attended the use of soft gold, and it was evident at once that not all of those present sided with him in the matter. This morning the paper was taken up for consideration and was discussed at some length by Dr. R. F. Hunt, Dr. Rich, Dr. Thompson, Dr. H. B. Noble, Dr. H. W. Lakin, Dr. Watkins, Dr. Cockerille and Dr. Hvgo. The discussion was naturally a deep and technical one. At its conclusion the rerort of the committee on operative den- tistry and surgery @/as presented by Dr. Thomas H. Davy of Baltimore and Dr. Lakin. The remainder of the program for the morning included an essay on dental legis- lation by Dr. A. W. Sweeney of this city, and an address by Dr. W. G. A. Bonwill of Philadelphia. The Afternoon Program. At the afterncon session there is to be a report from the committee on anatomy, physiology and histology by the chairman, Dr. R. B. Winder of Baltimore, and after- ward there is to be a clinic conducted by Dr. Charlies A. Meeker of Newark, N. J. who is prepared to exhibit to the societies a method of bleaching the blackest and worst cases of dead teeth that any member can bring to him. Many prominent dentists from various sections of the country are present as in- vited guests of the two societies. Among these are Drs. Charles A. Meeker, Newark, . . New York; S. G. Wa’ ins, Montclair, N. J.; A. Lee Pennel, Lees- Brunswick, Cc. Barlow, Jersey City, N. J. Chicago, Ill.; G. L. Godd: Charles F. Holbrook, Newark, N. J.; Oscar Adelburg, Elizabeth, N. J.; Alonzo Boice ard L. Ashley Faught of Philadelphia. ‘The meeting will conclude this evening with a banquet, at which Dr. M. W. Foster of Baltimore will preside. PS ith OFF FOR SPITZBERGEN. Walter Wellman and His Party Leave for the North. The American north polar expedition, under the command of Walter Wellman, sailed yesterday from Aalebund, Norway, for the island of Spitzbergen on the steam- er Ragnvold Jarl, which has been chartered for the purposes of the expedition. Experts pronounce the steamer to be the best iceboat belonging to Norway. The American aluminum boats that the expedi- tion carries are greatly admired for their strength, beauty and lightness. As the Ragnvold Jarl left the quay on her voyage to the far north the stars and stripes were hoisted at the foremasthead and salutes were fired. All the shipping in the harbor were decor- ated with flags in honor of the arctic ex- plorers. A large fleet of small boats es- corted the Ragnvold Jarl out of the harbor. Prior to the departure of the steamer a large number of cable dispatches expressing well wishes for the success of the expedi- tion were received from the United States. ——__+«-— DUTY ON WOOL. One is Proposed in an Amendment Offered by Senator Power. Senator Power has offered an amendment to the tariff bill, which he believes will have the support of enough Senators to cause it to be incorporated in the bill. It repeals sections 278, 279 and 685, the latter being the provision that puts raw wool on the free Ist. The present law relating to wool is maintained so far as the text is concerned, but Mr. Power reduces the rate of duty, eliminates the ad valorem feature of the text of the Wilson bill, and makes “skirtings” under the proposed bill practi- cally free, subject to duty. Mr. Power's rates are as follows, compared with the McKinley act: On all wools and hair of the first class, 7 cents a pound, instead of 10 cents; all wools and hair of the second class, 8 cents a pound, instead of 12 cents; on wools and camel's hair of the third class, the value of which shall be 9 cents |per pound or less, including charges, 4 | cents a pound, instead of 32 per cent;’ on | wools and camel's hair of the third class of the value of more than 9 cents a pound, 5 cents per pound, instead of 50 per cent. ——+$oo— THE INCOME TAX, The Senate Finance Committee Co sider an Important Amendment, The Senate committee on finance dis- cussed the income tax for a short time yes- terday. The question was brought up by Sen- ator Sherman, who called attention to the complaint of the building and loan associa- tions that the provisions of the bill would work an injustice to them, and suggested that the bill should be so modified as to re- lieve such associations from the necessity of paying the tax on money paid in by per- sons to whom the associations had made loans. The suggestion was generally re- ceived with favor and while no report of an amendment to meet the objections was au- thorized the members of the committee so expressed themselves as to leave little | doubt that the bill would be amended in this respect. There was also some general discussion of the income tax as a whole, and an intimation was dropped that other modified. + e+ Y. M. CG. A, CONFERENCE, elegates From the District Will Go to Annapolis.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Boys in the Workhouse. Several days ago the attention of the Com- missioners was called by Intendant Stouten- burgh of the Washington Asylum to the fact that he had in the male workhouse a number of small colored boys under sixteen years of age, and proposed that they be transferred to the reform school. President Falls of the latter institution was willing to take the boys, but as their sentences were for short periods, a question arose with the Commissioners whether they could be com- mitted to the reform school for a longer period. The matter was sent to the attor- ney, who advises today that it would rot be competent for the court to change the sentence so as to increase it. The judges of the Police Court, he says, would gladly send all boys they can to the reform school instead of the workhouse, where the offenses are sufficient to justify it, but that they are continually reminded that the reform school has no accommodations. The boys will serve out their sentences in the work- house, The Inconvenience of Reputation. In reply to the complaint of William Tal- bert that he is frequently arrested and searched by the police on suspicion of being engaged in the policy business, Lieut. Boyle states that William Talbert is a well-known promoter of the policy game, having been arrested some time ago for it and served three months, and seeing him again around his old haunts he was arrested and search- ed for policy papers.

At the request of the curator in charge, the following watchmen of the Smith- sonian Institute have been appointed ad- dith mol pidge on the police force: W. H. Brelsford, J. H. Brown, J. J. ond, J. J. Dolan, A. L. Fant, E. P. Herndeen, J. H. Horan, G. 8. King, Alexander Skin- ner and W. W. Waliingsford. The Western Union Telegraph Company has requested permission to renew six poles on ist street between H and Florida avenue northeast, ene the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, also permis- sion to reset four existing poles on Water [— between 29th and 32d streets north- west. The Commissioners have been asked to look into the claims of that section in the neighborhood of New York avenue and 2ist streets, and requested to pave 2ist street from E street to New York avenue, and regulate the grade as far down as C street. It is also suggested that the streets in the vicinity be brought up to grade, and New York avenue be curbed from 19th to 23d streets, ——. Arrest of a Grave Robber. ‘Tom Jones, one of the colored men want- ead on a charge of grave robbing at the Oxon Hill cemetery, a few weeks ago, as published in The Star at the time, was ar- rested here early last evening and turned over to the marshal. Deputy Sheriff Mid- dleton came here this morning for the pris- oner to take him to Marlboro’ for trial. Jones is indicted with two other colored men, John Newman and George, alias “Tobe” Marlow, who are in the Marlboro’ jail awaiting trial. case will be tried next Tuesday. il a ‘To Be Tried at Marlboro’.

Allen is now in the Baltimore jail for safe keeping, and it is feared that his return to Marlboro’ will be the cause of a violent demonstration, ——.___ To Clear a Clouded Title.

From the Philadelphia Daily Evening Telegraph. It would be expected, of course, that no way exists to get about in Venice except by gondola. This is nowadays an error. There is no spot in Venice which cannot be reached by dry land. There are now in the city 850 to 400 bridges, and it is possible to cross the canals on foot at almost any point. Those who do not wish to do this can get in a steamboat and go from one end of the Grand Canal to the other. There are frequent stations, the boats run every four minutes, and the fare ts only two cents. The gondola thug has been nearly driven out of the business. The residents of the city go about on foot or on steamboat. They have no time to be lazily rowed from place to place by a gondolier. It has come about, therefore, that there are much fewer gon- dolas in the service than formerly, and what there are have less to do. Their chief occupation is to transport visitors who have only a few days to stay, and who wish to tell their friends when they go home that they have ridden in a gondola. There is considerable business on moonlight nights, but in day time very few boats are in use. ‘The gondolier is not the romantic person that fancy paints him, either. He is a very ordinary Italian, a poorly clothed beggar, who always wants more money than his legitimate fare, and talks about his pour boire, or extra drink money, during nearly the entire ride. ——_--_e+-___— A Monkey’s Politen: From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “I was amused at an act of politeness I once witnessed on the part of a monkey that had a very peculiar effect on my dog,” said Stephen L. Warner yesterday. “One | day an Italian organ grinder, accompanied by a trained monkey, wandered into our town, and the man stopped before my house to play. The monkey was an intelligent little fellow, end was attired in a jacket and cap. While his master was grinding out the music the monkey hopped down from the organ, where he had been sitting, and, jumping the fence, came up into my yard. He was at once spied by a fox ter- rier of mine, ‘and the doy made a rush at him. The monkey awaited the onset with such undisturbed tranquility that the dog halted within a few feet of him to recon- noiter. Both animals took a long, steady stare at each other, when suddenly the monkey raised his paw and gracefully sa- luted his enemy by raising his hat. The effect was magical.. The dog’s head and } tail dropped, and he sneaked off into the house, and would not leave it until satisfied that his polite but mysterious guest had de- parted.” ——__+-e+_____ A Tariff! Effect.

Yet she found time in the midst of her political economy to have a} couple of real sweethearts, not to speak of | a host of fellows who wanted to be. Of the two favored ones, one was a farmer's son and the other was a swell youth from | the city. This latter she in time chose as he called her before him. “So,” he said, “you have thrown over this | excellent young farmer and chosen a city | dude?” es, papa,” she smiled. “Well, I don’t like it, and I want to know your reasons for doing it.” “They are plain enough,” she responded promptly. “I have heard you tatk tariff | until I am thoroughly convinced that the only kind of protection I need in my home raw material and admits the finished produc’ ee poh RRS es of incorporation have been filed | Metzger Co., for | the purpose of carrying on the general grocery business.

Disagreement Among the Democrats Regarding Fusion—Contention for Honors Among the Republicans. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ‘TOPEKA, Kansas, April 23, 1894. Every week brings new changes in the Political situation in Kansas. Reference is made especially to the populist and demo- cratic parties. There has been a change of sentiment in favor of the renomination of Governor Lewelling among the rank and file of the populists during the past two weeks. The populist state central commit- tee will call its convention for the latter part of May, and that means the renomi- nation of Governor Lewelling and the en- tire state ticket. Not all of the fusion democrats are in favor of indorsing such a ticket. It is the belief of well-advised democrats that one- third of those who voted for the populist state ticket in 1892 could not be induced to support Lewelling this year. They would be willing, however, to vote for Congress- man Harris or ex-Governor Robinson, who have been life-long democrats. The latest political gossip is to the effect that the regular or fusion convention will take no action, but adjourn without either putting a ticket in the field or indorsing the populists. Senator Martin, United States Marshal Neely, Chairman Jones, John A. Eaton and other democrats are said to be in favor of this plan, and the Populist leaders are in hearty accord with them. It is believed that if there be no regular democratic ticket in the field all the fusion democrats will support the populist ticket, leaving the stalwart democratic ticket to be voted for by such democrats as would vote the republican ticket if they had no ticket of their own in the field. It is evident that the advocates of a straight democratic ticket have changed their plans. They are going to work on the assumpton, they say, that the call for a convention July 8 was made by the regu- lar committee in good faith, and that it is the purpose of the democrats who attend that convention to place in nomination a full state ticket. If, they say, it shall be ascertained that Senator Martin, Marshal Neely and others have packed the conven- tion with fusionists, there will be enough democrats to walk out and nominate a straight ticket. The fusion democrats say they are in business in Kansas to defeat the republican party, and that any policy which will divide the opposition and allow the repub- licans to win {is not in the interest of de- mocracy. They have never intimated that they were in sympathy with the populists, but they believe it good politics to join with them, if it be necessary, to accomplish the defeat of their ancient enemy. Until recently the republicans seemed to have no troubles in their ranks, and were watching the movements of the opposition. Major Morrill appeared to have it all his own way for the governorship nomination, but since E. W. Hoch announced himself a candidate it has created a great deal of un- rest in the camp, and a big fight in the éonvention will follow. Hoch is a member of the legislature, and is speaker pro tem. of that body. He was the leader of the republican house on the floor during the late legislative war, and on that account has a large following among the men who served as assistant sergeant- et-arms and deputy sherift, and their name was legion. When Speaker Douglass made the first blow at the doors of representa- tive hall, Hoch stood by his side and grabbed the sledge hammer and assisted in breaking in the panels and smashing the locks. The sledge hammer enthusiasts are pretty thick among the republicans, and it is difficult to tell just how much strength this element will develop in the convention. Speaker Douglass is also a candidate for Congressman-at-large. If he and Hoch pool their issues they may make it interesting for the other candidates. ——— wi Paper Makers. From Longman's Magazine. A careful survey of that vacant nest con- vinced my wasp at once that it afforded the exact combination of advantages she -was then in search of; and as soon as she had satisfied herself by a course of watching that the hole was not now in possession of any stronger and more aggressive wasp-eat- ing animal, she abandoned at once her dig- ACOOUNTANTS....

F., Had a Great Time. ‘The official visitation of the officers of the Grand Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, to Beacon Lodge, No. 15, occurred on Monday evening last. The lodge met at 7 o'clock, and at half-past 7 the Grand Lodge officers were introduced and received with the usual official honors, Noble Grand McBride making a very suitable address of welcome, to which Grand Master Wood appropriately responded. In company with Beacon Lodge and visiting members, they proceeded to the encampment room, where a large assemblage had already gathered. Past Grand Master Crawshaw, chairman of the committee on arrangements (consisting of himself returned thanks for the pleasant manner in which they had been received, and the evening of entertainment which was in store. The following excellent program was then out: “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” song, Miss Gradwohl, upon which a parody followed; recitation, M. F. O'Donoghue; song by the Mount Vernon Mr, Lawrence and irs. Parkson on Miss Lowdermilk; and Miss Burdette; imitations of dif- ferent actors, A. Stern; poetic effusions, Phil. Friedlanier; recitation, David Bangs; solo, Miss Houk; “‘Waters of the Rappahan- nock,” L. L. Mayer; recitation, Lee Baum- garten; song, J. J. Fisher, accompanied by Miss Parkson; recitation, Miss Mitchell; humorous dialects, E. B. % y At the conclusion of the p: which ‘was one of unabated interest, the entire company repaired to the blue room, where refreshments were served in abundance by the committee on refreshments, consisting of Messrs. Hennage, Perkins, Bain, Burk- hart, Lewis, Isinger and Cunegan. The ushers on the occasion were Messrs. Carden, Dinsmore, Wailes, Jones and Moore. The attendance was large and the entire even- ing was one of universally acknowledged pleasure. Beacon Lodge will be fifty years old on the 9th of September next, on which occasion it will duly celebrate the historic event. Of the members who petitioned for a charter two are still living, Messrs. Col- ley and Wall. Grand Representative Stier joined the order April 23, 1860, consequently it was his thirty-fourth anniversary on the night of this meeting, a fact to which he ging operations, and took up her abode in the ready-made cavern. There she set to work at once upon the collection of material for the first few cells, which we saw her bringing in from the decaying place on the gatepost with commendable activity. The nest itself our queen constructed with- in a vacant hole, building and lining it with a peculiar sort of paper of which she and her kind have the entire monopoly. This pa- per is manufactured from woody fiber, after the most modern human fashion—the wood being first reducad to a complete pulp, and then kneaded with the jaws to the proper thickness and consistency. In most cases the raw material is nibbled piecemeal off the bark of trees; but my wasp fortunately discovered early in her career a weak spot at the base of the rustic gate in the gar- den, and worked this mine with such and industry that before the end of the summer she and her descendants had gnaw- ed a great hole in it as big as a teapot. She even endangered the stability of the struc- ture. Wasps seem to moisten the pulp as they knead it with a secretion from their mouths, the analogue, I suppose, of saliva; they use their powerful jaws to reduce the little balls of torn wood to this pulp, and then to spread it into thin sheets of papery layers. The cells built of the paper so prepared are hexagonal, like those of the common hive bee; and, indeed, wasps and bees, in spite of ethical divergencies, are descended from a single very early ancestor, many of whose domestic tricks and traits both great groups of social insects retain most faith- fully. But while the bees have learned to build a great many more cells than they need for the use of their grub, and to em- ploy the supernumerary ones as storehouses or jars for preserving honey, the wasps only make just as many cells as they mean to fill with larvae, and bring up a young grub in each at least three times over In a single season. The fact is, the hexagonal cell was originally intended as a cradle for the larvae alone; the beehive has diverted It in part from its primitive purpose, and has applied {t to a new and wholly economical object. Wasps are bees which have never learnt honey making. Birds That Can Sew. From the Popular Science Monthly. Sewing seems so ingenious an art that it must be reserved for the human species alone, Yet the tailor bird, the orthotomus longicauda, and other species possess the elements of it. They place their nests in a large leaf which they prepare to this end. With their beaks they pierce two rows of hcies along the two edges of the leaf; they then pass a stout thread from one side to | the other alternately. With this leaf, at | first flat, they form a horn in which they | weave their nest with cotton or hair. These labors of weaving and sewing are preceded | by the spinning of the thread. The bird | makes it itself by twisting in its beak spiders’ webs, bits of cotton and little ends of wool. Sykes found that the threads used | for sewing were knotted at the ends, ss Many Claimants to One Infamy. From the Brooklyn Eagle. The honor of inventing the piano is claimed by the English, French and Ger- mans. Father Wood, an English monk at | Rome, fs said to have been the real invent- cr in 1711, and to have manufactured one which he sold to Samucl Crispi, the author of “Virginia,” from whom it was_pur- chased by Fulke Greville, though Count Carli claims the credit for Bartholomeo Christofori of Padua, during his stay in| Florence, some three years later (1714). | The French attribute the invention to a! Parisian named Marius, who, they alleged, produced in 1716 a harpsichord in which | hammers had been substituted for the old plectrums or quills. The Germans are the last in the field, with J, C. Schroder of Dresden, who claimed (1717), when eighteen years of age, to have constructed after much consideration the model of a new clavier, with hammers upon .which he | could play loudly or softly. die oe Bond of Disbursing Officer Karl.

Anacostia had another post office rumor yesterday. It was that Mr. William E. Jordon had received the appointment. Mr. Jordon is a republican, and a good deal of anguish was displayed by the old-time and forever den_ocrats of the village. It is also said that the postal incumbent, Mr. Geo. F. Pyles, sent his congratulations to Mr. Jordon, and the republican end of the population cracked the ceiling of the welkin with a three-ply shout. The re- publicans wore a yard-wide smile. But all this was too soon. No commission has been signed, and no appointment made. The case of the Anacostia post office has not even been up for consideration for a long time. It will probably not be, till the Anacostia democracy pulls together. It is barely possible that Mr. Jordon may be appointed postmaster, but this is not yet. ———— COLUMBIA ROAD TRACKS, The Commissioners Will Equip the Line With Grooved Rails. Since November 29, 1893, the Commission- ers have been endeavoring to get the Co- lumbia Railway Company to relay its tracks with gfooved rails as required by law. Being unable to accomplish this, they have approved the following recommenda- tion of Capt. Fiebeger in the matter: “The working season of 1894 having fully begun and the Columbia Railroad Company showing no indication of relaying its tracks with grooved rails, I recommend that the work be advertised and done by the Com- missioners as required by law.” became Cotati Colored Republican Convention Call.
