The attention of the Commissioners has been invited by Mr. J. T. Petty, the audi- tor of the District, to sections 36 and 58 of the proposed code for the District, relative to the payment of salaries of judges, bailiffs, ete., and the application of moneys collected in the Police Court. Section 36 prevides that the salaries of the judges of the Police Court, and those of the clerks and bailiffs, as well as the fees of the mar- ba all be paid quarterly, while section “8 provides that the moneys collected upon the judgments of the court, or so much thereof as may be necessary, shall be paid over to the District and applied by the Instrict to the payment of said salaries and to the necessary expenses of the court. surplus shall be paid into the United es treasu: t the end of every quar- 1 ter. These requirements, says Mr. Petty, that salaries shall be paid quarterly and wholly n important part of District ‘Were repealed by the act of March of Revised Statutes volume led for the judg the court by approp: the United which pro- r officers of ation from the joint revenues of the District and the United States.

The provision of the act of June 11, 1896, “Th hereafter the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized and directed to de- posit with the treasurer of the United ates, out of receiyts from fines in the Police Court, a sufficient amount to meet any deficiency in the police fund or the firemen’s relief fund,’ would become in- operative if section 58 of the new code be enacted into law. The act of March 3, 1801, providing for jurors in the Police Court and prescribing their qualifications, is silent as te their compensation. They are paid $2, as other jurors, but treasury officials have questioned our authority to allow this vunt, and it would be well to make spe- n for them in the new law, so as to avoid any future controversy.” The results of the adoption of these sec- tions as they now stand, says Mr. Petty, will be first, the payment of Police Court officials quarterly instead of monthly, and wholly from the District revenues, instead of from the joint revenues of the United States and the District of Columbia; sec yment of United States’ mar- the District; thirdly, the of the police and fire- y section 58, which re- the surplus of fines to be covered ry of the United States, and y implication the provision made for those funds by the act of June 11, 1896.

The last musicale of the season of the Washington Saengerbund took place last evening at its club house, on C street, and was a decided success. There were some changes from the announced program, nei- ther Miss Lucas nor Mr. Keiser being present, but their places were ably filled by Mr. #1 Minster and Mr. Herndon Morsell. Mr. Minster played Ret: “Romance” and Vieuxtemp “Reverie” in a most mus cianly manner and deserves great credit for his excelient playing on such short no. tice. Mr. Herndon Morsell sang Tosti’s superbly and he also sang the solo in “The Corinthians.” . All the other numbers on the program were as already printed in The Star and all were well per- formed, the bund singing in excellent form. The ieales of the season just closed have been unusually attractive, due to the geod judgment and musicianly ability of the bund’s musical director, Mr. Henry Xander.

A large audience filled Typographical Temple to the doors Wednesday evening, in attendance upon the violet tea and dra- matic entertainment given by Lincoln Wo- man’s Relief Corps, from which a large sum was realized for the relief fund of the corps. The tea tables were exquisitely ar- rayed in violet and white, and the hall was lavishly decorated with the national colors, “Old Glory” being everywhere present. The ladies in charge were also costumed in violet, and “sweet violets’ were every- where in evidence. The program «f the evening was very pleasing to the audience and was presented by the following well- known Washington talent: “In Honor Bound," a petite drama in one act, Mr. Theodore M. Hardy, Mr. Edwin Baker, Mrs. Mary Russell Hardy, Miss Lucy Rogers. “The Honeymoon," a come- dietta in one act, Mr. Edwin Baker and Miss Dorothy M. Marke. Mrs. Lida A. Oldroyd, president of the corps, welcomed the guests and presented the chairman of the program committee, Mrs. Emma A. V. Anderson, whe presided during the even- ing. At the conclusion of the program a silk sofa pillow was presented to Mrs, Clarinda M. Marks, who was fortunate in having her name drawn from the hundreds of oth- ers that were in a box. This pillow has a bit of history. A month or two ago Lincoin Corps gave a “measuring party,” each per- son attending placing in a small silk bag furnished for the purpose the sum in pennies that corresponded to the height of the guest. The chairman of the executive committee, to whom the bags went, after emptying ‘them of their freight of coin, made them up into a beautiful sofa pillow, and as there were nearly four hundred of the bags, the pillow was large as well as handsome. After the floors were cleared, the young people enjoyed dancing, and refreshments were served from the pretty tables. The ladies who presided over the tables, and their assistants, were as follows: Mrs. Em- ma A. V. Anderson, Mrs. Katie Phillips, Mrs. Nannie G. Davis, Mrs. M. A.

Small boats were in such demand during the day that some of the owners of boat houses doubled their regular charges. Bait was also in demand, but the anglers who used soft crabs landed the largest fish. Some of the dealers in soft crabs charged as high as $1.50 a dozen for them. Three anglers, who spent part of the day in a boat just above the Aqueduct bridge, filled a large washboller with white perch, many of which weighed more than a pound each, Several anglers found sport about the vicinity of the Chain bridge snagging herring. It is said by fishermen that herring are more plentiful this year than they have been for a number of years. Some of the anglers on the water yesterday landed as many as fifty fish each. Saturday after- noon two shad were snagged. —+— SPANISH WAR VETERANS. Fourth Immune Camp Elects Officers— Decoration Day Plans.
