THE ASSESSORSHIPS. Phe Fight for the Positions Getting Interest! The fight for the positions of permanent assessors is - getting. interesting. All day Jeng there has been a steady stream of Prominent people at the District buildings urging the appointment of their favored ‘candidates. Every mail brings letters from Senators and Representatives. Messrs. J. A.Bates and J. V. Hughes are among the new appli- cants. While the Commissioners have had several conferences on the subject, they have not yet decided upon the personnel of the board. They realize the importance of the mat- ter and will go slowly in making appoint- ments. One of the Commissioners is in favor of appointing the old board, but this will hardly be dene, as two members of that board were republicans, and this being @ democratic administration, it is expected that a majority of the board will be dem- ocrats. Nothing definite will be done until the President signs the bill. As yet the Com- missiorers have not seen the bill; it will come to them for recommendation before the President disposes of it. It is expected that the appointments will be made during the week. —_.—_— Died sua ly. Coroner Hammett last evening viewed the remains of Joseph S. Bouchard, a law- yer, who died suddenly at the house of Mrs. Lizzie Peterson, 1300 D street, during the afterncon, and gave a certificate of death from apoplexy. The deceaved at one time occupied a prominent position at the District bar. ——__— Bimetallic League. The American Rimetallic League expects to hold a conference in the Sun building to- morrow. Gen. A. J. Warner, president of the league, is expected to be present, and is now on his way here from the west. Nearly all of the silver members of Con- gress belong to the league, and it Is ex- pected that a number of them will be pres- ent at the conference. ee Death of Dr. 0: Dr. Chartes J.

Those present at the meeting of the first named committee were Chairman Lawrence Gardner, Secretary McNabb and Committeemen MacArty, Tracy, Cronie, McIntyre, Smithmeyer, An- derson, Leetfer and Hammett. D. J. Mac- Arty was added to the subcommittee on camp sanitation. ‘The contract for water fixtures for the camp was let to 8S. 8. Shedd & Bro., for $232.55. It was announced that the city postmaster would detail postal clerks for duty at the camp post office. The use of land south of the camp was granted for the erection of mess tents by the Sec- retary of War. On Information, The committee on information met with the following members present: Chairman A. F. Medford, Secretary Garter, Gould, Cronie, Thompson, Baumann, Silderberg, Craig and Hardell. This committee decided to erect a tent in the camp grounds and locate booths for the dispensation of in- formation at 7th street and Pennsylvania ave Ist and Pennsylvania avenue, 9h and F streets, 15th and New York avenue, and at 1216 F street. It was also decided to distribute twenty-five thousand pamphlets contairing information of value to strang- ers.

Business Interests of Washington to Be Represented in Line. The subcommittee arranging for the trades display and commertfal parade which {t Is intended to have on Pennsylva- nla avenue on the night of August 28, in connection with the proposed illumination of the avenue, is receiving responses from business men who intend to be represente1 in the parade. Some are already engaged in preparing floats illustrative of their par- ticular Mne of business. It is hoped to make the parade an exposition of the busi- ness and industrial energy of Washington. The avenue will be beautifully illuminated that night, and the parade will be very effective if sufficient numbers enter it. While some business concerns will be rep- resented by floats, others will appear in line represented simply by their business wagons, {illuminated with lanterns. The committee hopes to secure some kind of representation from every business concern of any importance in the city. This will make a moving spectacle on the avenue which will be novel, and will greatly en- hance the general effect of “illumination” nignt. The grand marshal of the parade is Capt. Harrison S. Barbour, who will issue orders assigning the different concerns de- siring to enter the parade to the'r proper places, and defining the leca. on where the different divisions will be formed. The committee desires that merchants and oth- ers will send it notice as early as they con- veniently can of their intention. to take part in the parade. —_—_-_— To Aid Friendless Boys. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The Newsboys’ and Children’s Aid Society is the only charity which stands between alien or stray children and either the stre>t or the police station, where they are Hsted as vagrants. It is doing a noble work,which should be widely known and appreciated. A late case—only one of many—shows this so plainly that [ cannot forbear giving it to the public through your friendly columns. A fine-looking white boy, aged fourteen, came to the city, having tramped It, as ne from Kentucky. He says his mother i last spring, and his father fails | provide a home for his family. He was | taken in care by that noble institution, the | Central Union M jon, and by them brought to the home at street, where we have fed ard clothed him, gud our agent bg found whai promises to hi he a good home for wilf be self~ here hé ay fr i} the terrible sn ss friendless children | in the city.

Ghief Parris of the fire department has submitted to the Commissioners an estt- \e of the amount requir¢d’for the proper conduct of the service during the next fiscal year. In all he asks for an ‘appropriationof $153,675. This includes an increase of 25 per cent i the salary of all employes, 121-2 per cent of whichis to go to..the firemen’s relief fund. A new engine com- pany ts asked for Anacostia, and an estt- mate made for the replacement of the old truck for the third district with a new aerial truck. On the subject of increase in the pay of the members of the department Chief Parris Say $ seen by the statement herewith, I have given the amount of salary now re- ceived by the different employes of the de- partment, and have also submitted a gen- eral increase of 25 per cent on the salary of all employes, one-half of said increase to go to the pension fund, which is at the Rrecent time almost exhausted. I would earnestly urge upon you the justice of such increase. t “The duties of the firemen are such that their lives are frequently risked In théetr endeavor to save their fellow beings and to save and protect valuable property. This fact was fully demonstrated at thes Knox Express fire, when three of my men were killed, and some six or seven -of my--men were injured in such ways that it will be aimost impossible for some of: them -te do active duty again. For the hard, trying and dangerous duties the firemen are called upon to perform it would seem but fair that they should be more liberally compén- sated. The salaries of the men, even with such increases as I have asked, would ‘be far below that of other cities. I earnestly ask your hearty co-operation toward se- curing the above named increase. A Bad Condition, “The pension fund, as you will readily see by the following table, is in a very bad condition finarcially. At the present time there ts deducted from the pay of 138 mem- bers the sum of $1 per month, making a total for one year of $1,656; and we are pay- ing to twelve pensioners $385 per month. making a totel for the year of $4,620, and showing a yearly deficit of $2,064. “The only way in which the department can overcome this deficiency is by recetv- ing donations and giving an annual excur- ston, selling tickets and appealing to the general pubiic of Washington and vicinity, whom, it seems, are at all times ready and willing to help the department in all its undertakings. I do sincerely hope that Congress Will see the necessity of prompt action und grant our request for aid such as would obviate the necessity of our being objects of public charity. There are now in the department ten or twelve men who are eligible for retirement. I would most re- spectfully recommend that these men, who have become physically unable to perform regular fire duty, be placed on the pension roll or assigned to duty as watchmen and strong, able-bodied men appointed in their places. By such changes the department would be greatly benefited. “In asking for a machinist and engineer, under the direction of the chief engineer, at a salary of $1,200 per annum I feel con- fident that the saving to apparatus would more than justify the outlay. have estimated for a new truck to re- place the old one now in use at truck com- pary B. The new aerial trucks are far su- perior to the old style. The saving of time in subduing fires and saving life is often worth more than the price of a new truck. “In estimating for a new house for engine company No. 2, I do so in the Interest of the health of the men, the present location not being at all desirable, and’ the house hardly fit tor habitation. I earnestly hope you will give this your favorable consider- ation, as I deem it of the greatest import- ance. I estimate for a new engine com- pany in Anacostia, which place is at the present time sadly in need of fire protection, and should, by all means, be provided for. In estimating for an increase of men, would say Congress has already - provided — for house and lot and furniture in the northeast section, but has failed to provide men or apparatus for the same. I do sincerely hope that your honorable body will urge upon Congress the recessity and impertance of my requests, as I have only asked for such items and increases as are absolutely necessary.” AMUSEMENTS, Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The. - Ly- ceum’s second week will be occupied by class vaudeville, the attraction being i's London Empire Entertainers.

Gates, Mr. Frank Gates and Mr, Drummund. Mary. Arresied. Mary Smith, the colored woman who re- soently assisted in the theft of a ten-dollar bill from Green Lightfoot, while on M street was “jugged” last night. She first denied everything, elevated her eyes to heaven, crossed ner hands in resignation, and then posed as a martyr. The officers, like pagans of old, had no appreciation of her utter un- selfishness and turned the bolts on with a laugh. A reaction then set in and Mary forgot her martyrdom and yelled for a good, sweet, unadulterated, unbiased and unpulverized revenge. Not a tremor was noticeable in the fra of the officer who made the arrest. Feeding Wheat. Great quantities of wheat are being fed to hogs in the counties about Georgetown. It has been found more profitasle to dispose of the grain in this way than by selling it at the almost unprecedented low figure now being offered. The fall sowing, it 1s said, will not be of such liberal character as heretofore. At the present time it looks to the farm- ers as ff the profit derived from wheat 1s rot worth the pains, Mr. Fister's Attempt. At 6 o'clock last night John J. Fister of the Georgetown Cycle Club started out on @ twenty-four-hour ride, having for its ob- Ject the breaking tof the American record. Last year he held) the championship for about two months making 279 miles, This time he is better: equipped in every way for the ride. The road ts in almost a per- fect condition, his wheel of the latest manu- facture and only ¢ighteen pounds in weight and bis physical condition splendid. Recent training has done much to improve his en- during powers. He started out immediately ater having partaken of a good dinner at a road house near the course. The number of miles covered by midnight was flatter- ingly great. He is scheduled to make 434 miles In the twenty-four hours, but it 1s probable that the number will’ not reach or exceed much 850 miles. The course is from a point near the distributing reser- voir on thes Condait road to the Anglers’ Club House, a distance of seven miles. ge Tasos Several Fires. Last night about’ o'clock an alarm of fire from box 134 was turned in by Police- man Settright for fire oh the first floor of the Commercial Fire Insurance Company's building, No: 525 11th street. The front door of the building was locked and the firemen had to force it open. Just how the fire originated is not known, but the quick work of the firemen prevented the flames from going to the upper stories and destroying the building. The loss amounted to less than $00. An hour later an alarm from box 135 called out the fire department to extinguish t blaze in the basement of house No. 1ith street, the home of William A. Roe, Some waste paper was destroyed, but the house was not damaged. About 9:15 o'clock fire started in a shed in rear of houses on 10th street southeast, F and G streets, and five sheds were de- stroyed. Frederick Marshall, a young man who attempted to extinguish the flames, was slightly burned by the falling of one of the sheds. ee Under Medical Treatment. Lieut.

They made the only music to which the prisoners marched, and-it was suspeeted that their mothers pressed their fingers against the fiesh of their little ones, hoping that their music would arouse the phe aon A of the court. But the noise was le a little too early. When the women were called for trial the lungs of the children had been tested to their fullest extent and they had no breath left for sympathetic purposes. Alice White and Carrie Hall were the rames given by the mothers of the chil- dren, and two policemen swore against them. The women live iu 6th street alley, and as the colored women state it the females in the alley were all on “‘cross-questions.” “And the questions were decidedly cross,” thought the policemen. ‘Then the women were given a chance, and they told of how they were at their front doors engaged in the quarrel instead of being in their houses at work, and at- tempted to justify their conduct by saying they were no more to blame than the other women. “But you are here,” said Judge Taylor, “and you will have to pay $5 each or go down. When the others come we'll look after them.” Alice paid her fine. Lucy Phillips, a colored woman from town, next appeared from the pris- eners'’ cell, and she, too, had an infant in cher arms. Lucy had figured in a row in a second- ‘hand store, and Policeman Burkett told of how the quiet of the town had been dis- turbed. Lucy was unable to make a satisfactory explanaticn to the court and the usual fine was imposed. James Green, colored, fifteen years old, was given a hearing on a charge of vag- rancy. . “I ain't guilty,” he answered. Policeman Garraway was of a different opinion. The boy had been loafing about the Center Market for weeks, and his sus- picious actions were detailed to the court. Jim had an opportunity to clear himself of the charge, but he did not succeed very well, for the court sent him dewn. Harry Nickel said “guilty.” He had jumped on a train of cars in violation of the police regulations, and two witnesses were in court to teil of his conduct. Judge Tay- lor questioned the boy and fined him $5. Birdie Wilson was tried on a charge of vagrancy, having been arrested in Free- man's alley. “Thirty days.” Loutsa Harvey and Amelia Smith Itve way over in Northeast Washington, and last night they visited the “flying horses” in “Swampoodie.” There they had trouble with or about a colored man, and on their way home they discussed the trouble. Not in ordinary tones did they discuss the af- fair, but profanity took the place of respect- able talk,and Policeman Smith made known his objection by placing them under arrest. ‘Then there was a lively scene, for the colored girls gave an exhibition of a war dance on the concrete pavement and shed as many tears as they could in a short while. Judge Taylor said he did not want to send the girls down, for then they would probably become regular visitors to the court. The girls made a fair showing, and their personal bonds were taken. Michael Cavanaugh and several friends, who were found on the grass in Seaton Park, were tried and released on their per- sonal bonds. Frank Rollins belongs here, but he hes been away from here for several years. When he retarned yesterday and met his old friends ne celebrated his return by “wetting” his new suit of clothes. Then he got drunk, and a policeman arrested him. “I only have $2," he said to the court, after he had been fined $5, “but if you will Jet me off for that I'l go back to Pitts- burg.” The judge suspended sentence and let Rollins keep his money. Marks Zelle, on a charge of vagrancy, gave his personal bonds and went home, while A. J. Miller, for Yeing disorderly, was fined the usual amount.

PERFECT CURE IN TWO WEEKS, My ttle son, aged three, was very much trou- Led with a breaking out on bis scalp and behind his cer. The places affected were about as lange 8 @ silver dollar; the fiesh seemed raw and cov- ered with ttle blisters. The child suffered con- sierably, and was naturally very fretful. I tried several remedies without obtaining any beneficial results; in fuct, the eruptions seemed to be spread- ing and new places breaking out. I concluded to try the CUTICURA REMEDIEA. I washed the af- fected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP, taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied CUTI- CURA. I noticed a change for the better in the “ppearance of the eruptions in twenty-four hours, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely dtsap- peared, leaving the skin smooth and the scalp clean; tn fact, a perfect cure, as I have pot seen any indications of any eruption or breaking out since. I gave the child only a few doses of the CUTICURA RESOLVENT. I consider your CUTI- CURA KEMEDIES very valuable. I believe CUTI- CURA would be excellent for applying to insect bites, which are very annoying in this country. ©. A. ARMSTRONG, Swift Island, N.C. Sold throughout ghe world.
