Yesterday he ap- pointed 157 postmasters, the highest num- ber appointed by htm previously - being Monday, when his list contained 153 changes.

A Victory for the Laboring Classes— The “White Winged” Force Will Seon Be at Work. As predicted in The Star from time to time during the consideration of the street sweeping bids, a contract was awarded late yesterday afternoon by the Commissioners, under the terms of which a system of hand sweeping, augmented by machine work, on the less important streets, has been imau- gurated. It has been only after a thorough inves- tigation of the subject in all its details that the Commissioners finally arrived at a conclusion, and their decision may be re- garded as a great victory for the laboring classes and the good citizens who insist up- on a better system of street cieaning. Every reader of The Star is familiar with the details of the investigation; of Engineer Commissioner Black's visit to New York and his Inspection of the sweeping meth- ods there; of the determination of the Commissioners not to consider pick-up ma- chines in connection with the contract, and finally, the probability of a compromise. by which a system of hand labor could be in- augurated and tested. It was the desire of the Commissioners before deciding finally upon the award of the contract, to ascertain the legal status of the bids. There had been claims of in- formality, and counter-claims filed, and at one time the situation was so complicated it was thought advisable to readvertise for new bids, the present contractor, in the meantime, agreeing to continue the work of cleaning for a month under the terms of the present contract. Attorney Thomas was asked if the missicners had the power to award a tract based on two bids. They had discov. ered the impossibility of cleaning the cit entirely by hand, and as stated at the time in The Star, were desirous of testing a hand system, at the same time using enough machines to keep the city clean. Attorpey Thomas rendered a carefully pre. pared opinion sustaining the views of the Commissioners in this respect. Upon the receipt of this opinion Commis- sioner Ross, under whose direct supervis- jon the street sweeping department comes, took all the papers and reports on the sub. ject and carefully studied them. After he had satisfied himself, he called a meeting of the board, and announced his readiness to submit the street sweeping matter for final disposition. The other Commissioners were ready to vote. Attorney Thomas was sent for. and the consideration of the matter began. One by one the bids were taken up and discussed. An official vote was taken first upon the pick-up machines, which resulted in their rejection. Then the attorney's opinion was considered, his advice asked in deciding several points, and Commissioner Ross was ready to proceed to vote. One ballot did the business, resulting in a unanimous expression of the Commissioners to award the contract to Daggett & Dugan to do the work by machines and hand work. Contractor Daggett stated to a reporter of The Star that it was his purpose to in- augurate on the principal business and res- idence streets the New York system ‘In all its details. The men would be uniformed in white and a regular patrol system in- augurated. He 1s confident the plan will work, and predicts for Washington cleaner streets than ever before. THE AUDUBON SOCIETY Com- con- Issues a Timely Appe: of the Birds, The Audubon Society, which was founded May 18 last, in co-operation with the American Ornithologists’ Union, has al- ready accomplished considerable in the way of arousing interest in the matter of the protection and study of birds. The so- ciety numbers in its membership many of the most prominent men and women in Washington. It has a list of officers made up of people well known in the official and socia] life of the capital, who are actively interested in its aims and objects. The society has just issued an address to the public, calling attention to the fact that some of our most beautiful and at- tractive birds have been all but exterm!- rated to supply the demands of millinery. It lays special stress upon the fact that the food habits of birds make them in- valuable as destroyers of insect pests. It urges property owners to post their land and grounds against the robbing of nests and shooting of birds, in accordance with the common law and congressional statute, which provides a penalty for the killing of ipsectivorous birds or the destruction of ‘cir eggs. The address then goes on as fellows: “The women of the District are asked to help with the moral work of the society. Few people realize, until their attention 1s called to it, what it means to wear wings and heads on one’s hat. But while feeling wholly superior to the red men, who decor- ate themselves with their neighbors’ scalps, we nevertheless adorn ourselves with the heads of our ‘little brothers,’ who are moved by the same feelings of joy, grief and love as we—feathered fathers and mothers, who give us lessons in courage and devotion, and which, when left alive, add to our commonplace round the charm and sunshine of their cheering songs and attractive ways. Once appreciating this we must find it impossible to wear any feathers to obtain which a bird has been killed. Ostrich feathers and those of do- mestic fowls do not come under this head and may be used without scruple, but egrets, terns, parrots, birds of paradise and all small birds must be sacrificed be- fore their feathers can be used. “Teachers and schcol children are among our most important Audubon workers. Such extensive nature work is already done in the schools of the District that instruction in the economic value of birds can easily be added, and by setting apart a “bird day” especial emphasis will be given to the study of the live bird. “We want the help of the children to keep their playfellows from robbing nests and skooting birds, and instead to put up bird bouses where the birds can nest, and put out pans of water for their little friends in hot weather; also to form neigh- borhcod natural history clubs, so that they can compare notes on the interesting things they see birds do.” The officers of the Audubon Society are as follows: President, Surgeon General Sternterg, U. 8. A.; honorary vice presi- dents, Mr. Charles J. Bell, Mrs. Henry F. Blount, Judge Andrew C. Bradley, Mr. John Burroughs, Miss Alice Fletcher, Dr. Theodore Gill, Mrs. A. W. Greely, ‘Mrs. Gardiner G.

President Paul's Statement of the Fie Con —Other Ine teresting Matters, The Washington Choral Society will hola its annual meeting at Sheldon’s Hall next Monday night. At this meeting there will be an election of six members of the board of managers, the terms of four of those composing the present board expiring and two having resigned and declined a re- election. Those whose terms expire are Mr. W. H. Daniel, Mr. C. J. James, Miss L. A. Norton and Mr. Eugene E. Stevens. Those who have resigned and declined re- election are Dr. Frank T. Howe, the vice president, and Mr. M. B. Fugitt, the sec- retary. Those whose terms expire are ell- gible for reelection, and it is Ukely that all of them will again be members of the board. Mr. Daniel and Mr. Stevens, par- ticularly, have been actively interesied in the management of the society for a num- ber of years and to Mr. Stevens’ efforts in the past the present existence of the society is practically due. At this meeting there will be presented the reports of the officers, an abstract of which is found in a statement by Mr. H. L. Paul, the president of the society, which shows that the actual deficit during the season of 1896-97, which must be carried over to the next year, is $467.96. He calls attention to the fact ‘that the season juat closed has been one of unusual depression, and that nearly all musical, dramatic and artistic enterprises have correspondingly languished. He refers to the fact that the society anticipating something of this, made its plans to meet the situation as far as possible and by dispensing with orchestral accompaniments and giving its three con- certs with organ accompaniment alone it has maintained the high standard of its artistic work without running behind finen- cially more than {ts usual amount. He calls attention to the fact that while the total receipts and expenses have been less than for the previous season, due to the business depression, the deficit for the sea- son is very much smaller, the actual de- ficit from the season's work of 1885-’6 hav- ing been $1,161.01. He adds: “If the guar- antee and relief fund raised this year had equaled that of last year we should be out ot debt. As it is, we come out at the end of the season with practically the same debt as that with which we began it. An earnest endeavor is to be made to clear off this remaining indebtedness and then so to plan the next season's work that this annual appeal for relief may be unneces- sary. The Choral Society is one of the must- cal institutions of the District that de- serves the warmest encouragement and support of every lover of music in its high- est form. By its high standard of work it has acquired a reputation for excel- lence that is not confined to this city. If the plan, of which mention has already been made in The Ster, of obtaining an associate directorate composed of lovers of music, and people prominent in business and social circles, is successful, the society can commence its work in the fall with- .out any fear as to its financial condition. In other cities, societies of this character have back of them people of wealth who are patrons of music and who are willing to guarantee the expenses of the produc- tions of oratorios and other works. There is no reason why such a guarantee should not be made here. It is learned that quite a number of the former members of the Georgetown OUr- chestra have connected themselves with the Carroll Institute Orchestra, and will hereafter play with the latter organiza- tion. While the Carroll Instituters are to be congratulated upon these accessions It is hoped that it does not indicate that there is no resurrection for the Georgetown Or- chestra. That organization had too long and too honorable a career to fade out of existence. It has done nothing for the past two years, but it has been said that its failure to appear before the public was due to the hard times, and the great labor necessary to get up concerts that should, at least, cover their expenses Confidence has been exprcssed by its friends that next season would see it again in good shape and with renewed vigor after its tempo- rary vacation, and it is earnestly hoped that this confidence may not be abused.

Mr. Archibald Olmstead’s pupils gave a piano recital on Thursday evening at Sanders & Stayman’s. The program was an interesting selection of classic music, rendered with commendable taste and fine execution by those who participated. Mr. Byron Blodgett’s playing was marked with unusual technique and po: He is only fifteen years of age, and his work in two numbers gave promise of a creditable fu- ture. Miss Barker's renditioa of the “Kam- ¢ino Ostrow” showed an artistic nevure rarely heard in a pupil.
