To the Editor of The Evening Star: Memories of the past are pleasantly re- called by the proposed acquisition by Con- gress of ground adjoining the government printing office for the much needed en- largement of that already gigantic estab- Nshment. It is remembered that forty years ago—in 1857—Mr. Cornelius Wendell, who was congressional printer at the time, removed his work shops from the old Union office (now the Hotel Lawrence, adjoining the National Theater) and the Sentinel office (then at the corner of Penn- sylvania avenue and 2d street) to the new building. which he had erected in the wil- derness near the “Old Mill,” and opposite the vegetable garden of the Georgetown College, which covered the block south of the site on which St. Aloysius Church now stands. This entire region at that time was uninhabited territory, over which the school boys used to shoot field lark and kindred game, and the “single-arch cul- vert,” near by, was a swimming pool, in which much delight was taken in trying to “fetch bottom” from the arch of the B. and _O. railroad, and catch leeches for sale to doctors and barbers, who bied the sick when such treatment was deemed to be necessary. The printing and binding for the govern- ment were confined to the building erected by Mr. Wendell—the original building at the corner of North Capitol and H streets and were under the foremanships of Mr. James English and Mr. George P. Gough, respectively, Mr. John Larcomb being the financial clerk. The hours of labor were from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. in summer, and from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. in winter, so that we were compelled to work two hours in winter by gas light, and then, as was necessary, pick our way in the dark through the fields, which was sometimes quite difficult, to the muddy thoroughfares leading to our homes. The winter of 1857 was a particularly se- vere one, and the great snow storm and intense cold of that season will be remem- bered by many now living, particularly the press girls who were frost-bitten while going to and from the office. During this winter, and. afterward, it is remembered, the big, charitable heart of Mr. Wendell caused relief to be extended to many suf- fering homes, and on occasion the writer has seen him approach Mr. John Thorn, then president of the Columbia Typograph- ical Society, and while he asked, “How are the widows, John?” would slip a twenty dollar gold piece in his hand for their re. lief, crack a joke, and then laughingly walk away. N. W. KING. ent Florence Crittenton Hope and Help Collectors. At a recent meeting of the ladies of the board of managers of the Florence Critten- ton Hope and Help Mission, 218 3d street northwest, with a company of ladies who are deeply interested in rescue work for women and girls, a board of eight collec- tors and solicitors was appointed, of which Mrs. Helen M. Wood is chairman. Other ladies of the board are Miss Lillian War- field, Mrs. J. W. Waple, Mrs. G. M. Davi- son, Mrs. Sallie McIntosh, Mrs. J. H. Bur- ton, Mrs. Mary B. Jackson and Mrs. W. B. Brown. All collectors were supplied with official books, duly signed by the pres- ident, Mrs. S. D. LaFetra, and Mrs. Thos. Jarvis, treasurer. This is done as a means of protection, both to the mission and con- tributors, and all donors are asked to se- cure receipts on the payment of subscrip- tions, as it is desired t if mistakes have been made in the past all may be corrected, that the work may prosper. It is a source of much gratitude on behalf of the Flor- ence Mission workers:that not only many of the old subscribers of last year have renewed, but that a larger number. of new ones were secured during the Crittenton meetings, and that the average of monthly payments ts larger than ever before. The mission has at present twenty inmates, be- sides several helpless infants, who appeal for continued sympathy, some of the young mothers being very little over sixteen years of age. An official appeal has been ‘sent to the committees in Congress, asking that the “age of protection” bill may be speedily reported favorably and passed this session. There is no bill now pending be- fore Congress in which the board of Crit- tenton missions is so deeply interested as the one for the legal protection of girls, the limit now being only sixteen years. —_.___ Bazaar Successfally Opened. A bazaar, to last for one week, and the object of which is to “raise funds to pur- chase overcoats to be worn in the inaugural parade, on March 4, was opened last even- ing at Green’s Hall, No. 1719 Pennsylvania avenue, by the Virginia Republican Asso- ciation.

Carson, president; McKinley Tariff League, Lewis Willis, president; West End McKinley League, M. D. Harley, president; McKinley and Hobart Working Club, R. D. Ruffin, president; H. Cabot Lodge Hard Money Club, R. H. Ter- "the commit fe ak ie committee in charge is composed of Messrs. F. D, Lee, chairman; W. H. Nel- son, secretary; James Nelson, treasurer; Henry Cox, G. T.

Columbia Historical Society met last evening at Columbian University, and passed a resolution urging the passage of the bill in Congress to erect a $50,000 mon- The Honest Shakers and Their Cure for Dyspepsia. ‘The shopkeeper who cheatn us by lying with re- ard to the quality of bis goods and the grover or the Dutcher who gives us short weights, is a thief. However, their knavery touches nothing but our Pocket book. There is another widespread form of misrepresentation of a far more dangerous and vil latnous character. We refer to the false statements and wortliless guarantecs that frequently accompany medicivrs. To guarantee a medicine to cure is to Drand it as & quack product. If we can guarantee to cure dis eave, then we can guarantee everlasting life, for in @ large majority of cases people die of disease, the proportion of violent or accidental deaths be ing very small. ‘The Shakers have always been known as a most Upright and honorable people, and their success in the manufacture of medicines has also been weil known. It is, therefore, not surprising to find them pursuing @ very original and novel pian for the in- troduction of their remedy for dyspepsia. ‘These God-fearing people, whose motto bas al- ways been “Try all things and bold fast that which is gocd,”” have put upon the market ten-cent eam- ple bottles of thelr product, or sufficient to give it * trial. The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so prompt in it action that for the trivial sum of ten cents a pe son can usually determine as to whether or mot it meets the requirements of his case. There ere forms of dyspepsia which it won't help, ut these are very rare. In most cases the first dose retiev all distress, and an increase of appetite at onc follows. All druggists have it, and the next time yoo are troubled with indigestion send out and try this popular and successful product. It represents wear ly a hundred years of patient investigation and study. fez AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION. What Great Historical Event Would You W to Have Seent At the monthly meeting of the Legion of Loyal Women last night there was an tn- teresting discussion on the question “A what historical event during the nineteen’ century would you have preferred to be present, and why?" Mrs. Mi selected the congress of religions at the world’s fair, because it marked the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man; Mrs. Cutter, the surrender of Lee, because it ended the civil war and preserved us as an undivided country; Miss Tanner, the coro- nation of the czar, because there were con- gregated the pomp, beauty, glory of the world. and Miss Smith woul have preferred witnessing the first steam- boat that went up the Hudson with Robert Fulton, because it marked the era of rapid transit, the progress of the world, atu consequently, the improvement and happi- ness of the human race. A description of the Century Club of Philadelphia was given by Mrs. Julia E. B. Smith, and Mrs. M. A. Lamb spoke in- terestingly of “Life at Camp Parole.” Miss Frances M. Jacobs sang a solo, fol- lowed later by a duet, in which assisted by Miss Grace Hilborn, L. V. M. McCullogh sang “Music of the Ages,” which she illustrated by means of colored ribbons. Miss Hilborn also sang with fine effect several folk songs of Ha- wali, and a clever paper, entitled “Woman's Influence—Home and Legion,” was read by Mrs. J. G. Burnett. At the close of th: program refreshments were served. ees, SPECIAL BEQUESTS MADE, Conte: of the Will of the Late Charles Edmonston. The will of the late Charles Edmonston, dated April 22, 18%, was filed yesterday afternoon, Charles R., Upton B. and Wm. £. Edmonston, sons of the testator, being named as executors.

To the Eiiter of The Evening Star When, or even before, you have finished your commendable undertaking to have the new city post office finished, there is anoch- er much-needed quasi-public improvement that is well worthy your best efforte. Please try and get the proprietors of the Lafayette Square Theater to rearrange the seats on the floor of that establishment so that its patrons can get to them with a reasonable degree of facility, and occupy them with a reasonable degree of comfort when reached. present arrangement ts hardly better than a deliberate scheme of terture, alike unfair to the public and dis- creditable to the management. Either the projectors of the efiterprise or the archi- tects of the building must have drawn their inspiration from a sardine box, and they seem to have adopted the packing style of architecture from a hope of larger profits. One cannot help thinking, how- ever, that a more liberal policy as to p: sage way and sitting space would be mo: profitable in the end. It is something to have the good will of the public along with its money. K.N —— A Banner Aid Society. At the last regular meeting of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Fifteenth Street M. E. Church, corner of 15th and R streets, the following officers were re-elected to serve during the year "97: President, Mrs. H. A. Gillenwater; vice president, Mrs. Howard Fishback; recording secretary, Mrs. G. H. Robertson; treasurer, Mrs. Kate Hawkins; financial secretary, Mrs. Char. Wolfarth. This society of members say that without doubt it is the banner ald society, consider- ing point of number of members—only about forty—of any church in the District of Columbia. During the year closed it has held eleven regular meetings, seven- teen called meetings, and raised $725. It serves a luncheon in the church dining rooms every second Tuesday in each month. At an experience meeting Friday $4 was handed in, and twelve pledges are still to be paid of $1 each. February 19 the so- ciety will give a concert. Dr. Bischoff will be one of the artists. ee Consuls Recognized. The President has recognized William A. Merchant as honorary vice consul of Spain at Charleston, 8. C.; Frank A. Spencer, Mexican cor sulsat Portland, Ore., and A drew P. Bornett as British consul at New York. CANCER Mrs. A. H.
