Oleomargarine in Germany. The German reichstag is now considering a bill framed at the instance of the agra- rians to restrict the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine. The purpose of the bill is to prevent the imposition of oleomarga- rine upon purchasers as genuine butter, and one provision seems particularly well calculated to at least protect the actual consumer, for it is proposed to require the manufacturers to stuin the oleomargarine red or blue. United States Consul Ewing, in reporting upon the subject to the State Department, says there is great opposi- tion to the measure. —————-2+_____. New Postmaster at Congress Heights. C. M.

New Manufactering Enterprises— * Policy Playing Still Continues— Many Other Local Notes. The heralded West End boom has arriv- ed, and has begun his prosperous reign. Dormant enterprises have been suddenly revived and life put into dead sections. Water street, which for two years has been as quiet as a graveyard path, is now swarming with construction wagons and business vehicles. Three big new enterprises have started up within a week. They consist of a chew- ing gum factory, for the manufacture, of the “Mint Julep” brand; a large mortar- mixing concern, and a bicycle factory. Then there is the big electric light and power plant, that is being looked upon as a formidable rival by the United States Eiec- tric Company, which promises to be in operation by April 1. The gum factory has been established in the Berry warehouses, at the corner of 82d and K, and the mortar-mixing ma- chinery has been started up in the three combined warehouses of H. P. Gilbert. A five-year lease at a big rent has been se- cured. e The electric people occupy the splendid buildings formerly used by the Edward L. Dent Company, founders and machinists. Then there are negotiations under way for the leasing of other buildings. The re- establishment of the paper mill at the cor- ner of Potomac and Water streets is now ® surety. Improved machinery has been ordered, and a remodeling of the building will precede its arrival. There are strong Indications pointing to the occupancy of the wharves of Agnew & Company, near the Aqueduct bridge, by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who, it is said, will e: tablish a system of barges across the river at this point from Rosslyn, their present terminus. This will give them a direct en- trance into Georgetown. They are work- ing now for the necessary legislation, it is authoritatively stated. Interested parties do not deny that the Pennsylvania people are operating to this end. They say only that they are not at present in a position to talk. Policy Playing. There seems to be a general awakening in the interests of policy and policy playing in this section, which 1s encouraged by the large number of policy shops at Rosslyn. Though the police began a crusade against the gambling and checked it, the game has never heen fully stopped, and now it is run on as large a scule as ever. All the pa- tronage comes from the District, while the concerns flourish in Virginia, virtually un- r the protection of the authorities, as no attempt at concealment in the game is made. The only thing the police of this city can do is to arrest the p.geons of the various concerns who collect money for plays and deposit it on the game. There have been several arrests made of late, but very poor cases have been made, and most of the sus- pects have gone to jail or the workhouse on charges cf vagrancy. The whole evil could be eradicated by a little energy on the part of the Alexandria county officials. Notes. The Mt. Tabor Church's annual benefit entertainment will come off tomorrow night at Linthicum Hall. It will go beyond all predecessors this year in point of excel- lence.

The hearing on the propositicn to submit the suffrage question to the people of the District for an expression of opinion, be- fcre a subcommittee of the Senate District committee, was concluded yesterday after- noon. After The Star's report closed Mr. F. L. Siddons took the floor and made a comprehensive argument in behalf of the measure proposed, of which he is the au- thor. If the verdict of the people were against the change from the present form of government, he said, the whole matter would be dropped. Senator Faulkner suggested that a sub- mission of the question to the vote of the people should be accompanied by an out- line of the form of government propose so that there would be a definite alterna- tive presented. Mr. Siddons did not believe this to be necessary, for he did not think the government would evade its just share of the expenses of the District even if suf- frage were given to the people here. Senator Faulkner said he wanted Con- gress: to be morally buund to keep its obli- gations, and he went on to urge that the change would have a very decided effect upon the amount of taxes required from the people. Additional arguments were made by Dr. C. B. Purvis, Rev. Walter Brooks and Mr. W. H. G. Simmons, and then Senator Gal- linger called on Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby, who had expressed a desire to be heard on the bill. She said she represented the Wo- man’s Suffrage Association, and made an effective speech, which commanded the en- tire attention of the committee and of the other speakers, and at times convulsed all present with laughter. She prefaced her remarks by asking that the bill be amended by striking out the word “male” from the proposition to submit the suffrage question to the people of the District. For many years, she said, the women who sought the ballot were pictured as being accompanied by some very disreputable individuals. With them stood the idiot, the insane, the convict and the blanket Indian. The only respectable companion that the American woman has had in tnis political state has been the District of Columbia, and now he ungallantly proposes to leave her to her disgraceful associates. Disfranchised and humiliated, she went on, the women of the country would regret to see the men of the District take their leave, and so they have decided to make an effort to be taken with them. The women of the nation, she said, are a disappearing sex. When they are to be punished or taxed they can easily be seen, but when it comes to rights and privileges they are excluded. They are neither citi- zens, people, persons nor inhabitants, ac- cording to the law. The only designation to which they are entitled is “the goy- erned.” “The bill considered was never originated by the Knights of Labor,” she said, “for at their last session they voted unanimously in favor of admitting women to vote in the District along with the men. If we are to ¢xchange an aristocracy of a class instead of an autocracy of a few persons, it is hardly worth the while.” Dr. Reyburn said the framers of the bill @id not object to suffrage for women, and Mr. Siddons said, as Mrs. Colby had stated, the Knights of Labor were in favor of Dr. Reyburn thought that with woman su: frage in the measure, it would pass by a larger majority. At the conclusion of Mrs. Colby’s speech the hearing was adjourned. It is not cer- tain whether there will be any further hearings on the subject of this bill before the subcommittee makes its report. The third member of the subcommittee, Mr. Hansbrough, is in North Dakota and will not return for a month. is bleak.

Nearing Completi —Cor dering the Dedicatory Exercises—Getting Materi: to the Site. Col. J. M. Wilson of the army has just returned from a visit to Wakefield, Va., an humble, almost deserted place,about seventy miles down the Potomac, where the immor- tal Washirgton was born. He went there for the pirpose of inspecting the work in progress for the erection of a granite monu- ment to mark the birthplace of the “father of his country,” and was very favorably impressed at the condition of things. The five huge blocks of granite composing the monument, including the monolith—a solid shaft forty-one and one-half feet in length and weighing 63,400 pounds—have been taken to the site and are in readiness to be hoisted in position. They were quarried at Barre, Vt., and were cut at Buffalo, N. ¥., in the shops of the contractors, John Crawford & Son, whence they were slowly transporte! by rail and water to the near- est landing point cn the Potomac. The site of the monument is fully a mile and a quarter from the river, with a rough, hilly country between, and the merest ex- cuse for a road, cver which it was found necessary to drag the stones, separately, on ordinary rollers. It was a slow, tedious and Aifficult job, but it was finally accomplished without accident or serious delay. The old Washington homestead had beea built in pioneer days, and was small, but substantial. It was hip-roofed with dormer windows and had a small one-story wing, used as a chamber. Surrounding it many years ago were a group of smail outbuild- ings, servants’ quarters, &c. It was at this place that Washington was born February 11, 1722, and tradition has it that that in- teresting event occurred in the one-story annex. All the houses were burned to the ground in the spring of 1735 by a fire, which is sald tu have originated from an accumu- lation of rubbish incident to the planting of early crops. The foundation of the main building was traced and uncovered several years ago at the instance of Secretary Evarts, then at the head of the State De- partment, and this spot has been selected as the site of the monument. The base of the shaft will cover nearly the entire area of the old, dismantled building. The monu- ment will stand square to each of the four points of the compass with its face to- ward the river. It will have a total height of fifty-two feet, and will be plainly visible from the decks of steamers passing up and down the Potomac.
