Contract Awarded for Furnishing Stamped Envelopes. At a total saving to the government of 0,000, the Postmaster General yester- , upon the recomm2ndation of the third assistant postmaster general, awarded the contract for furnishing the government with stamped envelopes to the Purcell En- velope Company of Holyoke, Mass., at a tetal bid of $1,868,821.72. Four years ago the government piid $2,770, For twe weeks this contract has been pending and during that period politics has been dragged into the case, and the Post- raster General has been besieged by prom- inent politicians who sought to influence the award. There were practically only two interest- ed parties to the case—the lewest bidder ou the government sample, the Purcell Enve- lope Company, and the lowest bidder on the bidder's sample, the Plimpton-Mor- gan Envelope Company of Hartford, Conn. When General Merritt became third as- sistant postmaster general he brought with him a ripe experience in paper manufé ture. In looking over the record of pre- vious administrations he saw that it hil been customary to limit the character of Peper employed in the manufacture of en- relopes to that known’as “loft dried.” He further became convinced that a combina- tion virtually controlled all loft-dried pa- per. When the time came for advertisins for new bids General Merrit: determined to break the combination, and accordingly in preparing the specifications inserted the following language “ee eee py yy Some process of air dry- ing which in the judgment of the Postmas- ter General will produce equally good re- sults There was considerable objection on the part of the combination to the wording, but it remained in the specification. Four years ago the contract was awarded to the Purcell Envelope Company at half a million dollars lower than the combin tion bid. It now appears the contract was sublet to the Morgan Company, the latter, it is stated, paying the Purcell Company $72,000 a year for the contract. This year the Purceil Company was again the lowest bidder, and having in the mean- time erected an extensive plant, is pre- pared to carry out the contract. The Phmpton-Mcrgan people made a hard fight and brought an array of political in- fluence to bear. The Purcell Company wa3 not idle in the meantime, and it also show ed considerable strength. Telegrams were received from such men as Chauncey M. Depew and ex-Postmaster General Jam: certifying to the financial responsibility of the firm. A special trip was made by a department official to the Purcell plant to investigate the plant, and his report was ertirely satisfactory. Every objection was met and dissipated. Then the Postmast General arded the contract to the Pur- cell Company, as he says, strictly upoa business reasons, politics not having any- thing to do with it. —e FAILURE CAUSES DESPONDENCY. Thaddeus Jones, an Actor, Attempts to Commit Suicide. Thaddeus Jones, a colored tragedian, twenty-three years old, attempted suicide about 9 o'clock last night at Fis home, No. 442 Washington street northwest, by tak- ing laudanum. The police patrol wagon was called and the supposed dying man was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where he was soon relieved of the poison. Later on he was returned home. ‘This morning, although apparently out of danger, he was suffering intense pain. Failvre to cause a sensation on the stave, it i said, caused him to attempt his iife. oung man had been on the stage in He came here about five years ago and has made several attempis to give entertainments.

His wife did not imagine he would ever at- tempt to take his own life, although he had made these statements to her, When Thaddeus returned home last night he stopped down stairs long enough to ask if there was any mail for him.

VESSE Until a Bill Prohibiting Importations is Passed. For several day: the Secretary of the Treasury has received a large number of telegrams from collectors of customs at ports on the Atlantic and guif coasts stat- ing that ships were being ladcn for Cuban ports. Large shipments of mules were be- ing made from southern ports and beef and coal from those further north. The question as to whether these vesse!s should be permitted to sail was referred to the Attorney General, and his opinion was that pending che passage of the bill prohibit- ing all exportations of articles of this char- acter this government should not interfere. ——__ Mise Cluss’ Harp Recital. Miss Anita Cluss, in all probability the leading harpist of her sex in this country, gave a most enjoyable recital at the Co- lumbia Athletic Club yesterday afternoon, at which a large number of the members ef the club and their friends, as well as a number of musicians, were present. Miss Cluss presented an exceptionally attractive program, and in all her numbers showed her mastery over the instrument she has adopted as peculiarly her own. Miss Cluss was assisted by a talented array of Wash- ington musicians, including Miss Fannte Atlee, soprano; Mr. Sol Minster, violinist, and Mr. Henry Xander, pianist. The pro- gram presented was well made up, and in- cluded some exceptionally enjoyable num. bers, among them being Fantasia Appas- sionata, Vieuxtemps, Jensen, ‘Canzonnct- ‘Sprintide,” Wagner-Xander, “‘Sieg- mund’s Love Song;” Chopin, ‘““Mazourka: Mascagni, “‘Intermezzo: Hasselman’s, “Berceuse;" Golefroid, “Danse de Syl- Verdi, “Ernani Involabe;” Mendel: ‘Spring Song,” Thomas, “Seasons: and Hasselman’s “March Characterisque.’ SAMPLE OF OLD CURRENCY. Five-Dollar Not Issued by Corpora- tion of Georgetown. A letter has been received by the District Commissioners from A. C. Dunn of Colum- bus, Ohio, inclosing a five-dollar note is- sued by the corporation of Georgetown rreny yesrs ago, the writer asking that tt be redeemed. The old note, badly tattered and yellow with age, looks very much like one of the confederate notes, but Mr. Dunn explains that he knows it is not such a note te- cause it was Issued in the District of Co- lumbia. The bill reads in part as follows: “The corporation of Georgetown will p: $5 to the bearer on demand, at their offic in Virginia bank note: The date of its issue is not decipherable nor are the signatures of the then munici- pal officcrs.

Area of Center Eckington Streets Not Liable for Taxation. The District Commissioners have for- warded to Mr. W. H. O'Connor, 1945 4th street northeast, in reply to his inquiry, an opinion of the attorney for the District to the effect that W and 6th streets in Center Eckington are legal highways, notwith- standing their area 1s assessed for taxation. The District's legal adviser states that in his opinion the area of those streets should be deducted from the land taxed. He states further that it appears a plat of the subdivision known as Center Eck- ington, approved by the Commissioners, was recorded in the office of the District surveyor in 1801 (liber 8, folio 65), and that the Commissioners by their approval of it accepted the streets marked thereon. It is immaterial, says the attorney, that the width of the two streets is not shown on the surveyor's records. But the plat being made according to a scale, the width of the streets in Center Eckington can, he thinks, be ascertained. > CONFEDERATE VETERANS’ SOCIAL. Descriptive Story of “Battle of the Crater” a Feature. Last evening the Confederate Veterans’ Association held a lergely attended and in- teresting social meeting at their hall, cor- ner of llth and E streets northwest. Among the audience were the distinguish- ed old warriors, Generals James Leng- street and Harry Heth, besides many Union veterans und leading ladies of Washington society. The exercises were opened by Prof. W. F. Weber's string band playing operatic selections, after which Miss Virginia P. Goodwin sang “Dixie” with and had to respond orsell rendered a so liberally applauded spond with another. Rev. Flournoy related very vividly the scenes which took place July 30, 1864, at the sanguinary battle of the Crater, and was listened to with rapt attention. Prof. Maine and Miss Mamie Donnelly made the hit of the evening in the duet from the “Barber of Seville,” and Miss Donnelly responded with “Kathleen vourneen, both being ably a ed Miss Alice Harvey as accompanist on t piano.

Owing to the illn of one of the performers, “His Wife's Proxy,” a comedy in or at could not be played, but the recitations of Mr. Edward J. Walsh and Miss Irwin, the comic songs of Mr. George H.

SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York. HELD UP IN HIS QAVN HOUSE. Burglar Coolly Comfremted Mr. Bowman Laxt Evening. Samvel H. Bowman: was made a pris- ener in his own house last night by a burglar. He is general manager of the United States Express Company in this city, and lives at No. 1013 Massachusetts avenue northeast, a short distance from Lincoln Park, Last night Mr. Bowman remained at his office urtil about 8 o'clock. Fifteen minutes later he reached his home. Upon entering the front door he noticed that there was a bright light in the rear room on the second floor. Thinking his wife and daughters were in the room he made a noise to attract their attention. No response being made he ‘|}made a second call witheut success. AS fhis was quite unusual, it being his daugh- ter’s habit to answer his call, Mr. Bow- man hastened to the second floor. As he was on his way up the steps the light in the room was suddenly extinguished. This confirmed Mr. Bowman in the belief that there was something amiss, but he con- tinued to the room for the purpose of mak- ing an Investigation. The door was open- ed andvhe entered the room. Then he turn- ed on the gas and was surprised to be confronted by a well-dressed stranger. ‘The intruder was armed with a revolver, which he pointed at Mr. Bowman's head. Then the burglar, for such he proved to be, quietly informed the manager of the express company that he wanted money and was not there to commit murder. He, however, made known what he would do in case of an outcry being made, and when satisfied that he was going to get no money he started to leave, meanwhile keeping his eyes on Mr. Bowman and the revolver pointed in his direotion. Quietly possessirg himself of the key the stranger stepped out in the hall and closed the door and locked it. When this had been accomplished he walked out of the house and probably boarded a car at East Cap- itol and 10th streets. Mr. Bowman got out of the room in which he had been locked through another door and reached the front window in time to see his unwelcome guest of a few minutes before turning the corner of 10th street. Complaint was made to the police and a description of the criminal was given. He is described as being about five feet ten inches tall, and had a brown mus- tache. He was not very heavy and was dressed in a dark suit and black fedora hat. g > Trips to Fortress Monroe. Ever since the talk of war with Spain began Fortress Monroe has been a center of activity in naval affairs. Within a ra- dius of a few miles are the shipyards of the company butlding the huge battle ships Kearsarge and Kentucky, and the govern- ment navy yard at Norfolk, where the guns for our modern war vessels are made. ‘The “flying squadron,” under the command of Commodore Schley, is at anchor in Hampton Roads, just off Fortress Monroe, with steam up and ready 40 proceed to sea at a moment's notice. The Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company's steam- ers form the only direct route between this city and Fortress Monroe, Norfolk, Ports- mouth and Newport News. One of these steamers leaves the company’s wharf, foot of 7th street, every evening in the year at 7 o'clock. > Unity Club Entertained. The Unity Club (incorporated) was enter- tained in the parlors of the National Hotel Wednesday evening, Judge Moulton presid- ing. Rev. George S. Dunean, Ph. D., pas- tor of Eckington Presbyterian Church, read an ‘ay on “The Ethical Problem of Sui- ide.’ which was favorably discussed by Judge Moulton, Miss Bennett, Prof. Meyer and Mr. S, K. Hall, the latter reciting a poem of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, apropos to the subject. Mr. Ramsey gave a pleasing rendition of “The Jackdaw of Rimes. Rev. Dr. Collins read a unique poem of Chinese antiquity. A musical program was given by Prof. Meyer, in brilliantly piano solo and a ba; Mr. Yeates, baritone solos, ‘The Red, Red Rose “The King of the Main,” with piano niment by Mrs. H.

The object of the exhibition is to provide funds for the care of the sick and wounded in the impending an struggle, and {t has received the hearty support of both army and navy. officials and the Red Cross Society. Aside from this fact the exhibition is one that should appeal to every true art lover, it being of the best of the kind that has ever been put before the people of this city. —— School Boys Organizing.

An Institution That Would Be Very Handy Just Now. “When all of this war business is over,” said a western congressman, you may fig- ure upon early congressional action to the end of completing the Nicaragua canal. Of course, it Is now certain that the United States shall have, within the next ten years, @ navy that will be equal to that of any in the world, with the possible excep- tion of the navy of Great Britain, but a lot of the ships will then be kept on the Pacific coast, for cruising purposes, and on the China station, for protective purposes, as is the case at the present time. The desirability of having a channel through which our men-of-war may pass without going around the Horn or through the straits, will no doubt be apparent to the legislators of the early future. For ex- ample, I think the Navy Department would feel considerably more comfortable if the magnificent battle ship Oregon, now on her way of the Horn from San Francisco, were way of the horn from San Francisco, were now ranged alongside the ships of that you honestly answer your questions to | : : | the best of our ability and ask you to decide.
