To the Fditor of The Evening Star: Kindly permit me, through the columns of your widely circulated paper, to remind the public at this time, when so many people are being vaccinated, of the highly im- portant measure of wearing a V-shaped piece of cloth sewed onto the dress, coat or other outer garment directly over the vaccinated spot. The arms of the V should be at least one-half inch wide and three inches long. It should be cut from material ef a color contrasting markedly with that of the garment, and preferably red or yel- low. This V ‘should be worn from the fourth to the fourteenth day after vaccina- tion, since its object is to warn those around us against strecing or grasping the arm and thus injuring the vaccine vesicle or pustule during the period of development and des- feation. It is of special importance that children wear this badge and thus remind their playmates and schoolmates to be less ; reve) and more careful in their games and grectings for a few days. If the vesicle or pustule be violently ruptured the condition of the arm may be much aggravated and the physician be unable to determine with certainty whether the vaccination is suc- cessful and protective against ne gh ST. LOUIS POLITICS O'Neil Said to Believe Joy Will Be Elected. THEREFORE HE DECLINED 10 RUN Candidates Embarrassed by the A. P. A. .Movement. SUSPICIOUS REGISTRATION ced Ee Correspondence of The Evening Star. ST. LOUIS, October 24, 1804. ‘The refusal of the democratic party to re- nominate J.J.O’Neil in the 11th congressional district undoubtedly indicates that that gentleman himself does not believe he could carry the weight assigned him by popular opinion in the coming elections stakes. It is the sheerest nonsense to say that O'Neil has lost his hold on the organization in North St, Louis, and could not have been selected as standard bearer if he had so de- sired. O'Neil owns the North St. Louis organization boots and breeches and, many expert opinions to the contrary notwith- standing, he is an astute politician. He can follow the trend of events intelligently and can see as far ahead in the direction they are leading as the next one. He knows that he could not beat Joy this year, that a sen- timental feeling in favor of restoring Joy to his own if nothing else would defeat him, and he does not propose to risk his political future on a forlorn hope. But those who believe that O'Neil has re- tired permanently from politics will certain- ly meet with disappointment. Politics is the very breath of his nostrils, and he does not expect to be shelved permanently. He does not believe that Espenchied, the nominee of the party, will be elected, and Espenchied is a popular man—ex-state sen- ator, ex-treasurer and an ex-secretary to the mayor. In fact, Joy's election for reasons already mentioned by The Star correspond- dent is almost, if not quite, conceded on all sides, Joy will not cut much of a figure in Con- gress for many reasons, the chief one being that official life is not altogether tasteful to him, and two years hence the fickle voters of the eleventh district will have forgotten the circumstances under which he was ousted to make room for O'Neil. Besides it will be a presidential year, and the con- stituency, being undoubtedly democratic in political faith when it comes to a show- down on party lines, a democrat will proba- bly be returned. O’Neil’s friends will come into the convention with a whoop and de- clare that the salvation of the party de- pends upon its return to the old love, and O'Neill's friends, it must be admitted, usual- ly get what they go after. There is some talk of his being groomed for governor ad interim. This boomlet was started once be- fore, but was punctured by O'Neil himself, who said to the impromptu committee who suggested it to him: ‘Who in the mischiet would want to live in Jefferson City four years?” His name Is also coupled with the mayoralty, which would be decidedly more to his taste, for it would give him the pa- tronage and the excitement he craves. George in the Campaign Henry George was here last week making speeches in favor of Nelson and against Cobb in the twelfth. When Mr. George was here before, some time ago he was wined and dined by big democratic leaders, who made a lion of him. This time they let him severely alone, and since his departure have been trying to turn his speeches to account in the interest of Cobb. Mr. Nelson being a manufacturer and a millionaire, and having scores of friends in the bus’ s world, it feared that many of the most conserva- tive democrats would vote for him on ac- count of his pronounced tariff reform ideas. George did not con‘ine himself to a discus- sion of the tariff. He declared himself in favor of flat money aud government owner- ship of railroads. Democrats are now ap- pealing to business men in the tweifth to vote against Nelson, declaring that he gave at least a quasi-indorsement to the New York man's views on all subjo:ts when he asked him to take part 11 the canvass. In the meantime, the republicans have nominated I. M. Sterritt, a young lawyer who showed himself to be a subtle politician by the remarkable ease with which he went into the convention and took the nomi- nation away from Dwight Collier, to whom it had been conceded for several weeks. Sterritt is a hustler, and is working night and day for his own election with flattering prospects of success, The A. P. A. The American Protective Association is making extravagant claims. The assertion is made that the order has 18,000 members in the city. If this be true, it is more than a balance of power, and no Catholic on eith- er ticket will be elected to office. Hut it is probably not true, though it is useless to deny that the organization is lusty enough to feel its oats. Its appearance in affairs has given rise to some ludicrous inci tents. A fight made on Recorder William A. Hobbs in the republican convention because it was said he was in sympathy with the movement, ani that many members of the order were clerks in his office He was re- nominated, however, and now the A. P. A. proposes to scratch him because his wife is a Catholic and he sends his children to a Cathclic school. Harry Guinsberg, the democratic nominee for sherift, is a Hebrew, and, therefore, can- not be suspected of having very strong lean- ings toward the Catholic Church, And yet the A. P. A. influence may be thrown against him, because he is very intimate with Governor Stone, who roundly de- nounces A. P. A.ism at every opportunity. It is amusing to see the average candidate trying to dodge this issue. To indorse it is to antagonize the powerful Catholic in- fluence, and to denounce it is to run the risk of being ‘Klisted by all the councils in the city. A Surprising Registration, Registration is closed in this city, and beth parties are astounded at the phenom- enal increase in the number of voters over two years ego. It is out of all proportion to the probable increase in population, being 30,000 or nearly one-fourth of the total. For years the voting population of St. Louis has fluctuated between 75,000 and 85,000, This year it fs 112,000, ere is no exceptional interest in the election, no question of. more than ordinary importance, and only a small percentage of state officers are to be chosen. ‘The republicans have set up the cry of fraud, claiming that the democratic recorder of voters has permitted the registration of fictitious names. This species of fraud was undoubtedly carried out here once several years ago, but has not of recent years been attempted. A prominent republican said to- day: “You see, there will be no federal su- pervision in this election, and the whole conduct of the ballot will be in the hands of the democratic police force, officered by a democratic governor. They hope to have things their own way.’ Mistaken for Mr. Stevenson. A ludicrous feature of Vice President Stevenson's recent visit to St. Louis has leaked out. He stayed at the Southern Hotel, and by a coincidence one of the bearders in the house looked enough like him to be his twin brother. The “double” is a sporty sort of individual,who frequently looks upon the wine when it is all sorts of eclors. It was Sunday afternoon. The Vice President was up in his room taking a nap when his “double” strolled into the rotunda at an unsteady galt. A reporter, who had listened to the Vice President the night be- fore spotted the gentleman, and, sure of his identity, approached him and asked him what he thought of McKinley's tour. By another coincidence the double is a demo- erat, and he at once began to denounce Mc- Kinley in the most scathing terms, punctu- ating his arraignment from time to time with adjectives more emphatic than chotce, A crow gathered around, and the word passed from: mouth to mouth that the Vice President was conversationally full. While the inebriated gentleman was in the midst of an eloquent harangue to a crowd of nearly one hundred, the real Mr. Stevenson, having finished his nap, sauntered into the corridor. The crowd realized that it had been sold, but the story was too good to keep. After being assured that he would be acquitted of the charge of inebriety in the printed accounts, Mr. Stevenson enjoyed the joke as much as anybody. McKINLEY IN LOUISIANA pan! ess The Effect of His Recent Speech in the Southern, State 7 Great Enthusiasm Among the Plant- ers and Both*Parties Are At Feve® Heat. + Special Correspondence of sda Sta NEW ORLPANS, La., October 24, 1804. Gov. McKinley’s address in the Audito- rium on Saturday last Was heard by an audience of 7,00 people, among whom were many colored republicans. McKinley's visit was engineered about two weeks since by Mr. D. S. Ferris, secretary of the republi- can executive committee in the first con- gressionai district. Mr. Ferris wrote to Chairman Dick of the national committee, asking that some prominent speaker be del- egated to come to Louisiana. No reply being received, except a note expressing a regret that at the moment it was impos- sible to accede, Mr. Ferris went to New York on Monday, and while in the north brought into play influences so powerful that McKinley's visit was assured. The governor’s address was a master- Plece of political expression, but if it was thought that he would make any direct promises the planters were sorely disap- pointed. The bounty did not figure except in one instance, when, in general terms, the governor said that the bounty on this year’s crop should be paid. ‘The bulk of the speech was devoted to the exposition of the republican idea of protection in con- trast to the democratic tariff, Sufficient time has now elapsed to permit one to form a proper appreciation of the significance of Gov. McKinley's visit to this city. Immediately after the delivery of his address the enthusiasm of the ‘planters was naturaliy great. In an interview this even- ing with Mr. H. P. Kernochan, the planters’ candidate tor Congress in the first district, he told me that the national republica were entirely satisfied with McKinley's pr sensation of the case. Mr, Kernochan formed one of the party which met the gov- ernor at Siidell, near the northern boundary of the state, and accompanied him thence to New Orleans. In regard to the bounty, Mr, Kernochan says he asked Mr. McKii ley to state merely that he favored the pay- ment of the bounty on the growing crop. ‘This much McKinley did say, using the following words, which were delivered ex- tempore, and were not sent out by any of the correspondents of the northern press: “The republican party makes no promises; the republican voice speaks through its na- tional platform, and the republican party will speak through republican law. I can only say to this great audience here tonight that, whatever may be the future, the re- publican party will care for as ‘sacredly every interest you have as it will care for every other American industry, whereso- ever located, beneath our flag. Our policy is not narrow or sectional; our policy takes in the whole map of the United States. If we do not take care of ourselves, who will? Whose country is this, anyway? It is ours, ours to possess, ours to enjoy. We have made it what it is—the most splendid mar- ket In the world; we have sustained and enhanced its energies by this great protec- tive policy.”” The republican campaign committee are preparing to publish McKinley's speech in pamphlet form, as the governor, after dic- tating to stenographers the address pub- Ushed in the newspapers, interpolated a good many paragraphs which are consid- ered of importance. A summary of these statements were published in’ The Star some days ago, Keeping Them Out of Line. The latest political sensation centers chiefly in the registration office, on Camp street near Lafayette, in'this city, Yester- day a negro, named William McPherson, was arrested for disturbing the peace. It is charged by republicans that the demo- crats have th> registrar, Mr. Zacharie, bluffed, and that dummy applicants are kept in the lines, so that the negroes are prevented from registering. Many negroes say that they have been kept out of the registrar's office for a whole day, while vainly trying to get a place in the long line. The registration has been unusually large during the past few days, Yesterday the number of neproes in and around the registrar's office was very large. McPher- son, it is said, rebelled at being kept out of the lines and prevented from getting his papers. He abused a white man who got a place in the line before him. The latter re- taliated by striking the negro, and a free fight ensued, in the midst of which a shot was discharged. ‘The negro was arrested, but the news of the disturbance spread over the city, and in several mass meetings last night the negroes expressed great indignation. This morning D. S. Ferris and H. P. Kernochan, with a lawyer named McCann, visited the negro, McPherson, Lionel Adams, a noted criminal lawyer, was engaged to defend him, but as Adams is also engaged in a murder trial, the recorder postponed the case to the 26th instant. The planters an- nounce their intention to take cognizance of all such cases. It is freely said that trouble will occur on election day, November 6. Mr. Richard McCall stated that Gov. Foster has inti- mated his intention to count out the plant- ers’ candidates; and the determination is expressed to prevent the consummation of that intention. A story is in circulation that the republican campaign managers opened a labor agency in the lower part of the city, and engaged laborers ostensibly to work on the sugar plantations. These laborers were sent out of town 100 daily, and will be employed on election day wherever needed. This report lacks con- firmation, but has awakened a good deal of feeling. Congressman Boatner delivered an ad- dress in the eleventh ward last night, in which he promised that the bounty on this year’s sugar crop would be paid. Mr. Boat- ner left today for Jennings, a town in the third congressional district, where he will deliver a similar addregs, McKinley in ‘99, As intimated in a previovs letter, the gossip about McKinley's visit has led to reports that he will be a candidate for the presidency in 1896. It is now said on good authority that a well-known planter went with the governor to the train on Saturday night. Expressing admiration for the speech, this gentleman informed McKinley that he would be a delegate from the Louis- jana republicans to the national republican nominating convention, and would, if Me- Kinley were a candidate, yote for his nomi- nation, The governor smiled, and said he would be delighted to have this gentle- man’s support. It 1s also said that Gov. McKinley was promised the support of other prospective members of the Louisiana delegation, and that he expressed to all his acceptance of their support, tacitly im- plying his intention to run. ‘The expenses of McKinley's visit, which were all defrayed by the planters, are cal- culated at $2,000, and as the governor was in New Orleans not more than eight hours the planters think the charge was about commensurate with the success of the ad- dress, Cte A telegram from WaAshihgton this morn- ing says that Secretary Garlisle has deen asked to deliver a reply to Gov. McKinley's speech, but has declin —_~—_. Real Estate, Tr§nsfers. Deeds in fee have been”filed as follows: Lester A. Barr et al. to Ella F.

Inadvertently The Star made an error in announcing the price of certain brands of flour in its iss"e Saturday. For instance, the price of that well-known brand of flour “Ceres” should have been given as $5.50 per barrel. The users of “Ceres” flour were, no doubt, aware that an error had been made. This correction is made in justice to Messrs. Wm. M Galt & Co,, the well- known wholeselers. THE FIRE LADDIES Recommendations Made by Chief Parris in His Annual Report, CONDITION OF THE RELIEF FOND An Increase of Salary for all the Force Asked For. SUGGESTIONS —_-+—— OTHER ‘The ninth annual report of Chief Parris of the fire department was submitted to the Commissioners this afternoon. During the year the discipline of the de- partment, he says, has been excellent, and a strict observance of the rules in all cases required. Perhaps the most important feature of the report is that relating to the need of new compagies. In this connection Chief Farris says: “We need more apparatus. The depart- ment is very seriously hampered by its lack of sufficient apparatus «nd adequate number of companies to properly protect the large area and valuable property fer which it is responsible. Each year brings en in- crease in buildings, and an increase, in many cases, of the territory of the various companies. Most notably of those situated in the vicinity of the suburbs. In the busi- ness portions of the city more costly and large structures are being constructed from time to time, afd in consequence the value of property subject to fire risk is fast grow- ing. The present companies, though very efficient, but which, in all, number but nine engine-and three truck companies, are, of necessity, far apart, that each locality may have as just a division of the means at command for its protection as possible. “The result of this enforced condition of having the companies so much scattered may at any time work serious loss, possibly of life, and of much valuable property, as a large fire occurring in one locality may de- mand the assembling of the entire depart- ment at one point, and during such a con- centration of the force an equally urgent call on the department is liable to come from some distant district. The result must then be that part of the department must be withdrawn from fire number one and sent to the scene of fire number two, showing conclusively the necessity of the department having a reserve in readiness at ail times, should an occasion of such a nature present itself. We should have at least three more truck and five more engine conmpanies, and by the addition of the above named com- panies the department would be very much benefited. The expense of maintaining a well-equipped and effective fire department is but a very trifling matter when compared to the loss which must of necessity result where a department is embarrassed by lack of sufficient force and apparatus. This has been in many instances demonstrated in the history and experience of other large cities, and it would seem wise for us to heed the lessons taught by experience. The need of more companies and the necessary equip- ments and apparatus for same is most re- spectfully recommended.” The Relief Fund. Chief Parris dees not forget the relief , ani in referring to this subject says: “The necessity of action by Congress to- ward establishing a permanent relief fund for the department, which will be of some service to the men and the widows of men who have toiled year after year and lost their lives in the service, seems apparent. ‘Then there are men now on the rolls in- capacitated tur active duty, by reason of their long and faithful service, who should be retired, but owing to the depleted con- dition of the relief fund, we are compelled to carry on the regular rolls or turn them cut to pecome paupers tpon the commun- ity. This is manifestly unjust. ‘The re- ceipts deducted monthly from the pay of the members will only equal about one- third of the monthly expenses. From the nature of the service in which they are engaged accidents are liable to occur at any time that may disable more of them for duty, aud from the meager state of the re- serve fund their chance for aid from that source is very poor. Should Congress grant our request for aid such as I have asked, it would be the means of establishing a permanent relief fund, and at the same time be a slight advance of the pay of all employes, which would be greatly appre- ciated by the department in general, and which should, by all means, be granted.” During the year there were 141 applica- tions for positions in the department re- ceived, thirty-four of whom were qualified by the surgeons,and fifteen were appointed, More Fire Plugs Needed. Under the head of fire plugs Chief Parris has this to say: “As to the question of fire plugs, I deem it advisable to renew my request of several years. With the water permeating every section of the entire city, and an adequate number of fire plugs, comparative safety would be insured and many serious confla- grations avoided. The vast area of the city demands immediate attention to this mat- ter, The total number of fire plugs in the city at present is 1,498, which is insufficient for protection from fire. I respectfully recommend that the addition of at least #00 is necessary to be located in the most suitable places, as our lead of hose in the heart of the city on an average is about 700 feet.” During the year there were 241 alarms of fire. The estimated loss was $202,441, covered by an insurance of $145,139, against @ loss of $338,771, covered by an insurance of $209,233 for the preceding year. Increase of Pay Recommended. Under the head of salari, Chief Parris recommends an increase of 25 per cent in the pay of all employes of the fire depart- ment. He says in this connection: “As seen by the statement herewith, I have the amount of salary now received by the dif- ferent employes of the department, and have also submitted a gencral increase of 25 per cent on the salary of all employes, one-half of the above increase to revert to the persion fund, which is at the present time in a very bad financial condition. 1 would earnestly urge upon you the justice of said increase. ‘The duties of the firemen are such that their lives are frequently risked in an endeavor to save their fellow beings and in guarding and protecting val- vable property. ‘This fact was fully demon- strated at the recent serious conflagration at the Knox Express building fire, when three of my men were killed and’ six or seven others injured in such way that it will be impossible for some of them to do active duty again. Bad Condition of the Pension Fand. “It would seem but fair that they should be more liberally compensated. ‘Their salaries, even with such increase as I have asked, would then be less than that paid by other cities of a@ smaller popula- tion, “I earnestly ask your hearty co-operation toward securing the abov2 named increase. The pension funi, as you will readily see by the following tables, is in a very bad condition financially. At the present time there is deducted from the pay of mem- bers the sum of $1 per month, making a total for one year of $1,656. We are paying to twelve pensioners the sum of $385 per month, making a total yearly of $4,620, thereby showing a deficit of $2,964 yearly, The only way in which the department can overcome this deficiency is Ly receiving do- nations and giving an annual excursion, selling tickets and appealing to the citizens of Washington. whom, it seems, at all times are ready and willing to help the depart- ment in all its undertakings. i do sincerely hope that Congress will see the necessity of prompt action and grant my request for aid, such as would obviate the necessity of our being objects of charity upon the pub- lic. There are now in the department some ten or twelve men who are eligible for re- tirement, A New House for No: 2, “In estimating for a new house for en- gine company No. 2 I do so in the interest of the health of the men. The present house is in a bad location and Is hardly fit for habitation. In estimating for a new engine company in Anacostia, which place is at the present time sadly in need of fire protection, I earnestly hope you will see the necessity of placing an engine company there.”” ft = 8 Beoasaldd COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS.
