CHILDREN’S GUARDIANS. Statement of the Operation During the Past Year. B. Pickman Mann, secretary of the board of children’s guardians, today submitted a statement to the Commissioners in regard to the expenditures of the. board for the first half of the present fiscal year, and the probable needs of the board for the remainder of the year, and requesting that the Commissioners recommend to Congress the granting of a deficiency appropriation for the service of the present year. Tha appropriations made to the board for the fiscal year 1895, he says, were $13,000 for the care of the children, and $4,000 for administrative purposes. The expenditures for the first half of the current fiscal year were $8,801.47, including bills due and un- paid, for the care of children (one bill es- timated), and $1,663.64 for administrative purposes. The work during the past half year, he says, has been partly crippled by the lack of sufficient appropriations, in consequence of which many children have been left in conditions of destitution, ne- glect, abuse, or vice, who might have been brought under the protection of the buard, had more ample provision been made Reckoning, however, continues Mr. Mann, the probable increase of the work of the board for the remaMider?of the year at the average rate which has actuaily ob- tained in the past, the total expense for the care of children committed to the board by the courts for thevyeae is estimated to be $20,367.36. 4g This estimate, he says, makes no allow- ance for new work in the, direction of tak- ing in charge any ad@itiohal feeble-minded children, although two applications, duly verified ‘by the presigent of the Columbia Institution for the Deaf’ and Dumb, to have such children taken in charge are pending, and cannot,,.be granted for lack of funds. To provide a slight margin for contingencies, a deficieriéy of at least $9,000 should be made for the children. No excess of administrative expenses over the appropriation for that purpose is expected. An unegpended balance of $36.36 remains from the aJlowance for the first half year. Alnvest ‘éne-half of that balance, continues Nr. Mann, represents a diminution in the salary of the agent of the board, whose salary for the fiscal year 1894 was $1,800, and was by the appro- priation act for 1895 limited to $1,500, con- trary to the desires of the board, and without any opportunity for remonstrance on its part. The unanimous desire of the board, says Mr. Mann, is that authority may be given to the board to reimburse the agent for this diminution in his saiary, and that the legislative limitation may be re- moved. He asks, therefore, that the Com- missioners embody in their request to Congress for a deficiency appropriation for the care of children a recommendation that the board be authorized to pay to its agent for the fiscal year 1895 a salary at the rate of $1,800 per annum. —_———>—_—_ 3 Ibs. round steak, 25c., Sat.

FE S=8 S=3 S> VAGRANTS PLENTIFUL. Line of Them in the Police Court Today. The sign “Free soup,” painted in large letters, attracted many persons to a house on Louisiana avenue opposite the Police Court building this morning. Some of the hungry persons saw the sign as they went from the “Maria” to the court, and they showed an anxiety to go over there instead of entering the prison cell. There were two dozen of these unfortunates, and very few of them had enjoyed a square meal for so long that a plate of soup would have been to them more than a good dinner to the officers in charge of them, who had had their early morning breakfast. Of the twenty-four persons locked up about one-half of them were charged wit! being vagrants. Most of these persons were strangers, who had been without food, except what they had begged, for a long time. When Judge Kimball's court con- vened, and the procession, made up chiefly of young white men, moved through the dock, Lawyer Sillers made the suggestion that it would be an act of charity to have some of the soup sent over to the prisoners each morning. “Many of them have been without food for twenty-four hours,” he remarked. They Were Seven. The first case called was represented by seven young men, whose names were given as John Wilson, John Selden,Henry Miller, Henry Higgins, Harry Brown, Michael Manning and John Smith. The clerk read to the prisoners a charge of vagrancy and asked: “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “Guilty,” responded the prisoners one after another. “These prisoners are strangers in the city, said Mr. Pugh. “Last night they went to the police station and asked for lodging.” “Have any of them been here before?” the court asked. “Yes, sir,” responded the officer, “Miller was here about a month ago, and whe says he’s been tramping for two years.” “] haven’t been tramping for two years,” said the prisoner, “but I’ve been on the road out of work for nearly that long.” “Miller will have to Bo down for thirty days,” said the judge, “and the others will have to go down for ten days.” Gilbert Zimmerman was next in line, end he, too, was charged with vagrancy. “I’m guilty,” was his plea. “J found this man staggering about the Capitol grounds last night,” said Policeman think he was. He stopped several per- sons and I afterward asked them what he sali.” “Ten days.” George Saulsbury, an old pensioner, who spends his pension money for liquor. and fast living, came next for trial. He occu- pied a seat in the audience, and at his own request a charge of vagrancy was preferred against him. rhe charge is right,” he said to the court. 3 “Do you want to go down?’ “Yes, sir.” a “For how leng?’ i “Until the 4th of March.’ “Pension day?” “Yes, sir.” “Sixty days.” A Social Club. The rooms of the Warren Social Club, on 12th street southwest, looked as if they had been the scene of a prize fight when the janitor opened them yesterday morning. On the floor were the fragments of a broken coal oil lamp, cards were scattered from one end of the room to the other, and the window glass had been smashed. Charles Worden and William Warden were accused of being responsible for this condition of affairs, but there was no preof to show that they were guilty. One of the boys admitted that he broke the lamp, but said it was an accident. The charge against them was dismissed. George Taylor, who was arrested with th m, forfeited $10 collateral. am innocent of the charge against me,” said Catherine Fulton, against whom there was a charge of vagrancy. Catherine had been drinking and when she wert to the police station the officers intended to leck her up for the night, but because Policeman J. H. Gibson could not find in the directory the name of the peo- ple with whom she said she lived the charge was filed. She was given ten days on the farm in default of bon Dennis Quinn, arrested for being disor- derly near the Baltimore and Ohio depot, admitted his guilt and was sent down in default of fine. Two colored men and a boy were next in line. They gave their names as Charles Williams, William Scott and William Clark. One of them said he was from Savannah, arother from Hollidaysburg, Pa., and the boy from Virginia. The boy had been in the workhouse be- fcre, and the judge sent him back for ten cara! The men were released to leave the ity. ——.—___ DISCUSSING THE CURRENCY. Topic Before the Baltimore Merchants and Manufacturers. The Baltimore Merchants and Manufac- turers’ Association held its annual banquet last night, and finance and currency were the topics discussed. The following Con- gressmen were present as invited guests: W. M. Springer, C. A. Boutelle, W. D. By- num, J. P. Dolliver, J. W. Covert, Henry St. G. Tucker, Harry Welles Rusk and Charles E. Coffin. Representative Springer of Ilinols spoke of “A Sound, Sufficient and Elastic Cur- rency as an Essential to National Prosper- ity.” He.said: Vhat constitutes soundness of currency? Those who established the present banking system thought that a currency to be sound should be based on government bonds. While this affords a safe basis, it is in- ‘elastic and has failed to meet commercial wants. Therefore something besides gov- ernment bonds must be provided to meet this needed elasticity. In responding to the toast, “The Great Commercial Depression,” Representative Bynum of Indiana said in part: “The stagnation in our trade, the great fall in prices, in my judgment, is more the }result of the inability of consumers to make needed purchases than to any other cause. ‘The question may be asked, if there is not an excessive supply what has broken down the demand? I answer, day by day and year by year our consumers have been pinched and squeezed until they have been crushed.”” Representative Dolliver of Iowa discussed “The Money cf the Nation.” He took the general ground that the present national banking system should not be changed. “There is nothing in our financial condi- ticn which will not readily yield to a re- vival of trade,” said the speaker. “If some bankers who study only the philosophy of finance will leave the regulation of the com- merce of the country to the business men, the farmers and the workingmen, we will socn have a greater prosperity than can ever be produced by financial theorizing.” ———__+oe— The state has been furnished with the na‘ae of every man who assisted in hanz- ing Barrett Scott of O'Ncill, One of the lynchers has confessed. eb. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS, Prepariug for the Big Brotherhood of St. Andrew Service. The regular meeting of St. Paul's Chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was held in the brotherhood rooms last night, with a large attendance. The reports of the com- mittees having in charge the address of Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith before the brother- hood and their friends at St. Paul’s Church tonight were extremely encouraging. An interesting program has been arranged, and the music, under direction of Mr. Sherman Fowler and Mr. George Evans, will be a special feature. The public generally, and men particularly, have been invited to at- tend. The subject of the address, as be- fore stated, will be “St. Paul as an Inspira- tion to Young Men.” The men of the vari- ous chapters will meet at St. Paul’s Chapel and march into the church in a body. Alexander Island. The question as to the jurisdiction over Alexander Island by the authorities of the District of Columbia, which is being so much @ftscussed in Washington, has also caused some discussion in this city. Many of the most prominent citizens say that it is a sad commentary on the laws of the state of Virginia and the officers who ought to carry them out that the District authori- ties should want to get hold of this strip of land almost solely because of the law- lessness existing there, in order that they can take a hand in the matter and put a stop to the flagrant breaches of law com- mitted there almost every day, and thus keep this class of people away from within what are now considered the lines of the District. While no Virginian wants to see another square inch of territory lost, many fare of the opinion that this lawlessness would be broken up if the Washington au- thorities had charge of the matter, for the Alexandria county officers give almost daily So of their inability to cope with the matter, Notes. Mayor Strauss is again well enough to preside over the police court. The B. B. and H. T. M. held a meeting at Miss Kauffman’s, on South Fairfax street, last night. In the police court last night L. W. Bren- non, proprietor of the New York House, was sent on to the grand jury, charged with defacing the property of Mrs. Brown. He was released on $200 bond. He was also put under bond of $1,000 to keep the peace for twelve months. Mrs. M. W. O'Brien, who has been so ill for some time past, has sufficiently re- covered to be out again. While playing on the post office square yesterday afternoon little Leonard Uhler got his leg caught in the wheel of a bi- cycle, which caused him to fall and break one of the bones in his leg. Judge J. K. M. Norton, Col. Francis L. Smith, Mr. A. W. Armstrong and Mr. Ed- mund Burke, who went to Richmond in the race track case, have returned. The dance of the Alexandria Assembly at McBurney’s Hall tonight promises to be a great success. Many strangers will be in attendance. Messrs. Burke and Herbert of this city, trustees for the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, have leased the springs to Eubank & Glover, who for a number of years hava been proprietors of the Warm Springs 1 Bath county. The springs will be opei again next season. —_-___ The Volksblatt, an anti-Semite jow circulating in Mannhetira, Heldelburg ani Frankfort, Germany, has been confiscate¢ by the authorities owing to its having pubs lished an article entitled “Ode to Adam,” whieh was regarded as a perody on Ente peror William's “Song to Aegir.”
