One of them {fs on Chestnut avenue near the rail- road tracks, while the other is near Mae- nolia avenue and Oak street. Complaint has been made of dangerous holes in the streets near 1th and R and 3d and D streets northwest, respectively. Lieutenant Swindells has complained of the filthy condition of the fountain at 28th and M streets. He reports it as filled with stagnant water and as needing the cleans- ing process. A broken hydrant, corner of 22d and C streets, was complained of by Lieut. Boyle toda: Twenty-two policemen are on the sick list and forty-eight members of the force are on leave. ‘The Commissioners have directed In+ spector Charles N. Church of the street lighting department to proceed from Bur- lington, N. J., to Allentown, Pa., for the purpose of inspecting lamp posts. —_+—— Klondike as a Coventry. From the New York Times. An insidious and cruel and _ therefore reprehensible, methed of promoting de- partures to the Klondike appears to be receiving encouragement from == sundry newspapers supposed to be animated simply by a spirit of enterprise and open- rosity. An offer is made by of this method of travel to the Klondike to send to that section of the far northwest the persons receiving the largest number of ballots cut from pur- chased copies of the enterprising news- papers. Mark the result! Al! over this city there are persons who have made themselves objectionable, for many reasons, to ex- tended areas of population. Not having committed erimes, they canaot be put in prison. Supporting themselves by a min- imum of iabor or by a maximum of wit not illegal, they cannot be made public charges. Their idiosyncrasies would be criminal if it were criminal to be any sort of 2 crank. The common instincts of humanity, as well as fear ef the law, forbid disposing of them by any secret, oriental or Morganesque process. The enterprising newspaper with the ballot attachment has provided a way to get rid of these cbjec- tionable persons. Vote them to the Klon- dike! Free Passes, From the Scranton, Pa., Republican. An Seyereenton prevails among many peo- ple in this country that American railroads are the only railroads imposed on by poli- ticlans and others for free passes, but a recent agitation in France concerning passes brought out the fact that ahout 7,000,000 passes are issued annually by French railway companies. It is proposed to put @ tax on those free passes in France, and a howl of rage has gone forth from those who enjoy the privilege of riding for nothing. The proposed tax is very light, and it night be that those enjoy- ing the privilege of riding free would pay it without any protest, but the political o- seem eee ne everywhere, and a cents considered EE ; 3 : 13 Fe, : RO ee EE A a Daa A AI a eI ol a ne DISTRICT COMPOSERS The Marine Band Rehearses Music Written by Washingtonians. PROF. FANCIULLI HIGHLY PLEASED The Selections Are Melodious and the Orchestration Good. ALL DONE BY AMATEURS fe Prof. Fanciulli of the Marine Band this merning directed a rehearsal of the concert to be given at the White House Saturday evening, which will include compositions by Washington residents. The concert was a full dress ore by the members of the band at the room given up to them at the barracks, and was highly successful in every particular. The compositions which were rendered, according to Prof. Fanciulli, were far above the average in regard to melody and orchestration, and devolved great credit upon the writers. The works and their composers were as follows: “Rondeau Tirolien,” E. L. Scharf. “Leguidilla,” Spanish dance, Ernest Lent. Caprice Gavotte, “Eugenie,” A. Tregina. Caprice, “The Fancy Clog,” E. F. Litue. A, Mazurka Experance; b, Barcarole; Helen Marr Campbell. Waltz, “Young Love's Dream,” Fearn. American anthem, George L. Raymond, “Little Egypt Dance,” caprice, E. Begen- holtz. Patrol, “The Donkeys,” J. Giovannini. Columbian anthem, Berliner. Surprised and Satisfied. The trim little leader spoke of the scheme of the concert with evident surprise and satisfaction, for it enables him to give American gomposers an opportunity to show what they can do, he says, and par- ticularly those residing here at the capi- tal. He exterded the invitation for them to send in their compositions several weeks ago, and has had no occasion to regret that he did so, for he has received a large number of the pieces of music, and de- clares that in their rendition at the Saturday corcert he will have no reason to feel ashamed that he made the departcre. This is not the first time he tried the plan, however, and he discovered that it was an exceilent one. He barred all march melodies, however, in the invita- tion which he extended, as there has been rather a surfeit of them lately, and he ed something rew to tickle the ear drum of the public. The latter will not fail to appreciate this. A fact to be noted in regard to tne ccmpositions which will be heard is that rearly all of the co! pcsers are amateurs and have never at- tempted orchestration before. This Morning's Rehearsal. Shortly before 10 o'clock the musicians were resting at ease about the music room entrance. The professor glanced at his watch, took a step to the door, clapped his hands and the plzyers filed in. They were seated in their places, Prof. Fanciulli oc- cupying his leader's stand in front of them, baton in hand. A glance over them satis- fied him that they were ready, three or four skerp reps with the stick on his mu- sic stand to command attention, a wave of the hand to silence the bass horn, whose owner was trying to see whether it was free of anything which might have crawled into it, another wave, and the melody began. Consulting the Composers. Eleanor Several of the composers were present to hear the result of their work, and at intervals the professor weuld call them up, ask their opinion in regard to certain parts of the orchestration and make suggestions for the better rendition of the music. Occasionally one of the musicians would read the music wrong, owing to its being imperfectly written. A sharp rap of the baton would bring silence, and then an erder would be given in the leader's quick, staceato voice, and the melody would be- gin again. A suzgestion from the com- rs would be asked for again, and the whole played over without a hitch. Then satisfaction vould beam from the leader's face, and the next composition would be taken uv. The Concert Next Saturday. There were a number of catchy airs in several of the pieces of music which will cling long after the music has been heard, and they have the merit of be:ng original. The rehearsal took about an hour, and was scrupulously carried out while it last- When the signal of dismissal was given the players filed out of the room like boys out of school when recess is an- nounced. If the concert is as successful as Pro- fessor Fanciulli thinks it will be it will be repeated at the Capitol and elsewhere, and he thinks there is every prospect that it will be given several times. TINKLE OF SILVER DOLLARS. Treasurer Roberts is Taking Unusual Pains to Have an Accurate Count. The count of money in the vaults of the treasury is still in progress and will not be finished for several weeks. The unusually long time occupied in the count is due to the cautiousness of Treasurer Roberts. In all previous counts the money has been weighed in bags, there being 1,000 silver dollars in each bag. Two tests would be applied to these bags, depending on whethor the dollars were new or had been used. A bag of 1,000 new and unused dollars weighs about fifty-eight pounds and fifteen ounzes. A bag of badly used doliars weighs about fifty-eight pounds and nine or ten ounces, a difference of $6 or $7. Counting this way the count did not take so long, but Treas- urer Roberts has insisted that in one of the vaults, 1n which old silver dollars are stored, each dollar shall be counted. This is now being done, and the tinkle of silver dollars is heard for many feet throughout the treasury. Twenty-one young ladies have been assigned to this count. The vault which held the new silver dollars was counted in the regular way, and the gold in the vaults will be counted by weight. Treasurer Roberts says that the use of a silver dollar soon reduces its weight. If it is aa old coin it loses considerable. Simply the counting of a new silver dollar causes it to lose weight. ——_—__+e+___ A New Light for Marine The United States minister to Peru re- ports that arrangements have been made for the establishment of a new light house on the Island of Palominos, in latitude 12 degrees, 8 minutes, 16 seconds south, longitude 11 degrees, 14 miautes, 13 seconds west.

Most of thee Country East of the Rockies Suffered. The weekly crop bullctin issued by the Agricultural Department today for the week ended at 8 a.m. September 13 says: The week has been excessively hot and for the most part dry in nearly all dis- tricts east of the Rocky mountains. With sufficient moisture the conditions would have keen most favorable to corn, but in most of the important corn states the crop, more particularly the late plant- ed, has suffered seriously from drought and is being prematurely ripened. Much of the crop is now safe from frost, and cutting has begun in the more northerly Important Adverse Decision Affecting Valunble Mineral Landa. An important decision has just been made by Secretary Bliss of the Interior De- partment, which jeopardizes the right of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to hold certain lands in the west, valued at several millions of dollars, The¢case in dispute is that of the Pacific Coust Marble Company against the Northerd’ Piteffic, dis- puting the right of the company to certain lands containing mineral dépostts. The case was made as a test casé to’ estadlish a ruling by the Gepartmenty “and is 2on- sidered by the Interior Department one cf the most important cases hétird' for some 1B sections, In Nebraska recent rains will | time, a improve late corn, and with favorable | 4; : conditions in Iowa’ during the next two! .UMder the ruling of Secretary ‘Bliss, the Northern Pacific has no claim to the prop- erty in this particular case,:nor in other case where it seeks to patent 1 containing minerals other tnan goal and iron. The decision reverses-that of ex- Commissioner Lamereaux, under which the Northern Pacific was declared entitled to mineral lands falling within, the, limit of its grant, and it is probable hat law sults will follow the present ruling. ‘he point in question is whether the cempary, under its original grant, can Fatent lands containing non-metalliferous minerals, such as marble, gypsum, slate and phcsphates. Under the grant to the company it can patent lands along its line which do not contain goid, silver, cin- nabar, lead, tin, coprer, “or other valuable mineral deposits.” The company contend- ed that marble is not a mineral, and the suit is for possession of 120 acres of marble quarries at Spokane, Washington: Other cases, involving gypsum, marble, slate and other non-metalliferous minerals, have been bending, awaiting the present decision. The ruling of the Secretary is that marble und other non-metalliferous miaerals are, Properly speaking, minerals under the secpe of the law, and are, therefore, ex- cepted from the land grants to the rail- road company. This gives possession of the disputed property to the Pacific Coast Marble Company. The present decision ts notable for the fact that Commissioner Lamoreaux held only @ year ago that marble and such de- Posits were not minerals, and under his ruling the Northern Pacific took out pat- ents on considerable land. The original claimants of these lands. will now un- doubtedly sue the Northern Pacific for the Properties, and an official of the land office today stated that the Northern Pacific could undoubtedly be forced by law to va- cate its patents. In the decision rendered a mineral is de- fined as being ‘whatever is recognized as a mineral by standard authorities on the sub- ject, whether of metallic or other sub- stances.”” The case, which has been pending for several months, was argued before Assist- ant Attorney General Willis Van Devante: with Burdett, Thompson & Law of this cit as counsel for the marble company, and Brittain & Grey as counsel for the North- ern Pacific. —-e—____ Rank Nonsense Contradicted. From the Kansas City Star. The retired navar officer of New York city who asserts that even had R. C. Bundy, the colored candidate for admission to the United States Naval Academy, been able to pass the scholastic examination at Annapolis he would have failed en the phys‘cal examination, because the eyes of ninety-nine out of 100 American negro are defective, is talking nonsense.

In Kansas most of the early ecrn has been cut, and the late planied is suffering from’ drought. Subsequent weather conditions will have but little ef- fect upon the crop in Missouri, where it has been scriously and permanently in- jured. Cotton has generally suffered further in- jury during the past week and its gen- ercl condition is less favorable than re- ported in the preceding bulletin. Marked deterioration {s reported from the Caro- linas, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Heat and drought over the greater part of the cotton belt have stop- ped growth and caused much premature opening and shedding, wiile rains in Flor- ida have retarded picking. Scattered heavy rains have also interfered with picking in portions of Texas and caused slight dam- age by washing out open cotton in places, but improved the crop where still grow- ing. In portions of southern and central Texas late cotton and the “top” crop over orthern Texas will not mature unless frost is unusually late. Cottoa has opened freely throughout the cotton belt; pick- ing has made rapid progress and will gen- erally be completed earlier than usual. In Arkansas the crop will be gathered at one picking. Showery weather of this and preceding week has caused slight Injury to harvested grain in Oregon and Washington. ‘Thrash- ing is about finished in Oregon, but has Leen somewhat delayed in Washington and portions of Minnesota. No improvement in the condition of to- bacco ‘Is reported from Kentucky, where the outlook is very poor, and its sseneral condition in Tennessee is also very unfa- vorable. Flowing and seeding of fall grain have been much delayed generally, but favorable progress has been made in New Engiand and portions of the middle Atlanti: states, where soil conditions have been favorable. Se METHODS OF A BIG BANK. internal Examinations by Committees of Employes. From the New York Times. In one of the largest of the national banks in New York city there is a system of in- ternal examinations which is as unique and interesting as it is effective. There are about 110‘persons employed in the bank, and the methods of appointment and pro- mction are so adjusted that they tend to make each employe feel a personal interest in the general welfare of the institution. Each department of the bank is subjected to a searching examination by a committee of clerks at least three times a year, and frequently four and five times. In each in- stance the examination begins at 3 o'clock p.m., and the president does not send word to his committeemen until just before that -hour, and the head of the department which is to be examined does not know that his work is to undergo investigation until the members of the committee ap- pear at his desk ready to go to work. For illustration, the receiving teller’s de- partment is to be examined. That officer has no inkling of the fact, nor has any’ one else except the president and vice presi- dent, and possibly the cashier. Just before the close of banking hours the president summons three heads of departments, or responsible clerks, and quietly instructs them to take complete charge of the re- ceiving teller’s department at the stroke of the hour of 3. The teller meanwhile fin- ishes his labors in the usual way, makes his final book entries and counts and packs up his money. Without any warning what- ever the committee appears and takes im- mediate possession of his books and his currency. Under such circumstances a dis- honest teller would not have a single sec- ond’s time to change a figure or conceal a book. He must surrender his department to the examiners on the instant. ‘This method of examination has been ap- plied to every department of the bank in question for a number of years, and the president says that since it has been in ractice there has not been a trace of dis- jonesty in the institution. In each case where an examination is made the mem- bers of the examining committee receive extra Lore meer for their work. Each clerk in bank who goes through the year without an error being against him also receives a_ stipulated bonus, and it is, furthermore, the policy of this bank to husband its employes’ time by furnishing them with daily luncheons on the premises without charge. The bank, in fact, maintains for its private use a daintily appointed restaurant. eee ae ae $ Afrlean Colonisajion. _ , Bishop Turner. aoy @ Nature itself is invoking the American negro to return home as well Hs every postulate of reason or verdictiaf philosophy.

Chicago Police Aroused Over Social Demoerncy U tterances, CHICAGO, September 14.—Inflammatory speeches, like those made in the two meet- ings of the social democracy branches, in which the collision between miners and deputy sheriffs near Hazieton, Pa., was made the excuse for advising workingmen to appeal to the knife and the torch, will not, the police state, be permitted here- after in Chicago. Lucy Parsons and her friends have been stopped times without number within the last ten years, and two years ago Inspector Schaack closed the mouth of Mowbray, the English anarchist, in Belmont Park, for talk that was as the prattlihg of a have compared with social democracy’s Sunday sayings. “It was exactly that kind of talk,” said Julius M. Grinnell, the state's attorney, who prosecuted the anarchists of 1886, “which precipitated the Haymarket riot. Such meetings should not be permitted. The police have abundant authority for dispersing such meetings.” “We shall stop these meetings altogether if such taik as has been reported is con- tinued,” said Lyman Lewis, acting chief of spector Schaack, who has had some ex- perience with anarchists, was even stronger in his ebservations. —— BIG CATCH OF SALMON. Prices Unusually Low as a Result of the Unprecedented R: PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., September 14.—An official report has been filed at the custom house here by Inspector Webber, showing that the salmon catch is the largest ever known in the northwest. Al- together 2,500,000 fish of the cock-eye variety were caught near the mouth of the Frazer river during the season, and nearly as many hump-backed salmon were taken from the traps and left on the mud flats to die and decay. As a result of the unprecedented catch this season, fishermen predict a light run for the next four years. While prices last year for fish ranged from 20 to 25 cents each, this season the fishermen were glad to sell them for 3 cents each. —— INTERNATIONAL CHESS.

According to her story, she was rewhere ucar the scene of the murder, which, it 1s supposed, was committed near Wayland on July 22. At that time, she says, she was in northeastern Iowa in com- ock dealt in. ‘Telephone Stock bought and sold. and Teiephi Americen Bed Je51-164 Life Insurance Policies pany with the younger Acker, on the way | bought or taken as collateral on loans.

They came to Ki kuk and were encamped near Huveathal’s grove for awhile. They fell in with Acker and the three proceeded to tr: i north. She says that on April 27 Hand leit them, Farmers Learning to Save. From the St. Louls Republic, It is trae that the farmer seldom is a and that she and Acker traveled alone, he | Miser and that he spends freely when he & 150 miles out of his way to see her | has the money. But he is not going to be safely home in Lynxville, an] then went | such a free spender this year as he has to his own home in Elkhorn, Wis. Flere | been in the past. Adversity has taught him the valuable lesson of frugality. He is going to buy sparingly this year, hold in savings banks or the ever handy “ sock” the money left after mortgages and other debts are paid. He will await with patience and patriotism the outcome of next year’s crop yield and the effect of the present administrative policy of the government. That the farmers of the country are not going to spend their money recklessly, or even with accustomed freedom, this year is amply demonstrated by facts already developed. Trustworthy estimates place the value of breadstuffs sold by the farm- ers since January 1 at $100,000,000. Last year they had disposed of only $54,000,000 in the same period, and in 18% of less than $65,000,000. Yet the mercantile trade dur- ing both of these latter periods far ex- ceeded what it has been since $35,000,000 bas been added to the farmers’ incomes from the single article of breadstuffs. This, of course, has preduced what is known in business parlance as a “better feeling,” but out of it has not grown a wild increase in the purchases by agriculturists. , While this new spirit of economy and frugality on the part of the farmers may disappoint the more sanguine merchants for awhile, in the end the effect will be a betterment of all the business interests of the country. It will lead to an era of thrift and accumulation of which we have stood in sore need ever since the industrial changes wrought by the civil war rendered a readjustment Of conditions and relations necessary. ———__++2s—___ Good Material in Greece. Henrs Norman im Scribner's. If the king is strong enough and the army supports him, the constitution can be changed in the direction of substituting administration for oratory and work for intrique. If the political officers can be weeded from the army, a smaller, but in- finitely more compact and effective ferce, with modern weapons, can be formed, Hand was again encountered by Acker, and together they went to Elbow Luke, where they were arrested. Webur Acker, the father of George Acker, said positively that his boy was up in Wisconsin when the Wayland murder was suid to have been committed. The senior Acker and the woman claiming to be Mrs. Goins, for whose alleged murder two men are to be piaced on trial for their lives, feel supremely confident of their ability to properly establish the woman’s identity and to identify her in the flesh as the woman alleged by Frank Goins to have been found dead in a deserted well down in Missouri. ———_—_+e-+—____ Patents to Local Inventors.
