To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have noticed your recent articles in re- gard to the opening of the Congressional Lit in the evening and desire to call attention to what is a serious fault in the matter of furnishing the reading desks in the rotunda, viz: That the chairs are so hard that it is impossible to sit in them without serious discomfort after a couple of hours. I have recently come from some distance to consult the books in the brary in connection with the preparation of an article on a subject in which this library is pecullarly rich, and had intended to prose- cute my researches during the hours in the evening when the reading room was open, but have found that it was impossible to stay even during the hour: aylight ow- ing to the omfortable chairs provided. Surely are to be available for actual use provision should be made for the comfort of the users. To say that too comfortable chairs would attract loafers In- stead of readers is no answer. Proper su- pervision could regulate this. Let more comfortable chairs be provided, or at least strong leather cushions for these puritan- feal chairs, OLE: October 22, 1898. —_+—__ Reading Matter for Soldiers. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I desire to acknowledge the receipt of a number of choice books and magazines for the soldiers in Cuba and Puerto Rico, which were sent in response to my open letter in The Star some days ago. I would like an opportunity to thank each donor person- ally, but that is not possible, hence I s\ show my appreciation for what some ha done by asking others who have contributed to send to me such literature as they can spare. One be sent last week to the troops at Utuado, Puerto Rico, but that is on one point where reading matter is needed. If my friends and others who may wish to centribute their mite toward making the tedious hours of garrison duty brighter to our soldiers will, from time to time, send me books and magazines, I will forward them, through the further courtesy of the depot quartermaster, to the various regi- not yet current a ments of occupation in our island pos- sessions.

Convicted of Housebreaking. Walter Carroll, colored, indicted for housebreaking at the residence of Eugene F. Arnold, has been convicted in Criminal Court No. 1. The chief evidence against the defendant was the production of a let- ter addressed to Walter Carroll, which was found at Arnold’s house and’ which had evidently been dropped by the burglar. es Additional Inventory Filed. In connection with the estate of the late Anthony Pollok, an additional inventory has been filed in the Probate Court, showing the al preperty of the deceased to 488.75. —+ Steamer George Leary Sold. ‘The steamer George Leary was sold yes- terday, by order of the court, at public auction. Duncanson Bros., auctioneers, knocked the property down to Mr. John Rooney of Baltimore for $1,475. The sale must be confirmed by the court. It is stated to be the intention of the purchaser to break up the beat ard sell the material. REGULATING OYSTER SALES. Inspector of Marine Products Makes |James and Maria: Powell, Colored,| Board of Trade Adopts Memor! Some Suggestions. It is the intention of Mr. Gwynne Harris, inspector of marine products, to make a report to the health office during the pres- ent season concerning the manner of con- ducting the oyster business at the wharf. Just what recommendations he will make is not known, but it is understood he will ask that the men employed on the boats to shovel oysters be licensed. They are the men who have it in their power to deal out the bivalves in the proper quantities or to’ give short measure, as they elect, and the inspector thinks they should be under the control of the proper officials. im men, as a rule, do not travel on the boats between the city and the oyster beds, but they live here and are regulariy employed during the oyster season. The iran who can sohvel oysters to the best ad- vantage is the one who is in the greatest demand, and who commands the better pay. With these men licensed, the inspector thinks, the buyers would get better treat- ment. 1t should be against the law, he says, for the oystermen to bring to this city what are known as “culls” and stock which is not permitted to be sold in Baltimore and cther cities. The taking of so many small ysters from the beds, he thinks, will event- ually decrease the supply. With ‘the men who shovel oysters licensed and under cer- tain restrictions, says the inspector, there would not be so many dead oysters and shells sold. now oysters are very plentiful, he and the prices are correspondingly Good small oysters are selling at about 50 cents a bushel, while the larger stock brings from 70 cents to $1. Now that they are cheap and plentiful there is no trouble about the measure, but when they are scarce and high the complaints of short measure are made. — Ordered by Commissioners.

Crawford admitted that the horse going fast, but said it was not his “The animal,” he said, “had been in the stable for several days and he was a little lively when I took him out.” Crawford was advised to be more care- ful in the future.

To the Editor of T ening St. As the season is now approaching when the “poor and needy” will require help from those who are able to contribute and we are commanded from Genesis to Reve- lation to help the poor, I would suggest a plan by which a large sum might be col- lected and a continuous supply insured, viz: Place a small cast-fron box (painted white) with an opening in the side for the reception of money over or under each letter box in the city, with the three words “Remember the Poor" upon it. There Is a disposition to give small sums all the time if the opportunity offers, and the above plan, it seems to me, would pro- vide an ever-present opportunity, Children could be taught to put in all their spare pennles, and from grown peo- ple larger sums would flow in. The expense of collecting the contribu- tions placed in the boxes would be small, and I am sure that should this plan meet the approval of the Associated Charities, and it should undertake the work, the money to provide the boxes would be con- tributed.

Heavify Ranished. James Powell, Maria Powell and Hamil- ton Rozier, colored, were tried in the Police Court yesterday aftemmoon on a charge of violating the gambling law. It was charged that they permitted a game of craps to be played in a room-in the woman's house in Ridge street alleyy At an carly hour Sun- day morning, Sergeant Daley and Police- men Cooper and Willingham heard a noise In the house. “Comex seben,” they heard a man say, and following this they heard the rattling of thedice. More than a dozen colored men weresfound in the house when the police made @ raid. Nine colored men who were sworn as witnesses testified that they participated in the game and that James Powell “cut” the game. The “cut” was made, he said, for the purpose of pay- ing for the room. There was only one wit- ness who said Rozier had ever “cut” the game. Powell admitted what was said against him and said he “cut” the game and turned the money over to the woman. His attempt to throw the responsibility upon her did not succeed, for the penalty was $25 or sixty days, and he was given sixty days additional without fine. The woman was given a similar sentence and Rozier was acquitted. —.—_—_ OFFICIAL NOTICE SERVED. Acting Commissioner Says Tax Cer- tificates Must Bear Stamp. The District Commissioners have been in- formed by Mr. G. W. Wilson, acting com- missioner of Internal revenue, that tax cer- tificates issued by the District must bear a 10-cent internal revenue stamp. This ac- tion was previously indicated in an inter- view with Mr. Wilson, published in The Star. In a letter to the Commissioners Mr. Wil- son says: “Information has reached this office through the public press that certificates of the assessor and the collector of taxes for the District of Columbia as to the con- dition of taxes on any piece of real estate in the District, and which they are required by law to issue to any person interested, are being issued to private parties without the 10-cent stamp required by the act of June 13, 1898. “If this information 1s correct I request that you instruct the officer Issuing the certificates to inform the applicants there- for that they cannot lawfully be issued without a 10-cent stamp affixed thereto and canceled according to the provisions of schedule A of the war revenue law.” ee Situations Secared.
