That Treasury Baroness.

WASHINGTON, March p, l:7j.
To the Editor or National Republican:
SIR: A charming little romance 1t is which our
correspondent Of the Chicago Times publishes
about a ''golden-haired Treasury girl" Charm

stranger still than fiction. Except that am an
humble lover Of justice nothing should induce
me to lift the veil which screens the modest un-

sister. This blaek-eyed heroine Of mine, so

years when she lives as princess tolls on faith

Treasury, one but for few months; the other Is
there still. cannot say baron "WOOed and
won" her, but can say that offers as noble could
not tempt her; rank and wealth could not buy
her brave heart, since she could not give It. Is
there no pathos here? One other sister there is
Camilla's own and only. Where is she? Tread
ing the marble halls Of Madam, the Baroness?
Alas! no. Unaided, alone, she drags out her
youth in other marble halls-the halls OF our
benevolent Spinner. To those acquainted with
the i'true" history there is, indeed, q romance.
1t is with the ore devotion tender and beautiful,
patiently enduring; with the other, Tapped in

halfsister began the noble effort left for Sallie

CENTRAL DIsPENSARY.
How the Poor Get Medicines,

Tenth and E streets northwest, found q motley
crowd OF men, women and children, black and
white, and with all sorts Of ais waiting their
turns to be treated. One old man, who looked as
If food and clothing would do him more good
than medicine, was suffering from rheumatism.
He was examined by the doctor, given his pre-
scripton, told to keep out of the wet and to come
again on Tuesday. An old colored man had
"misery IN his head " and was nearly blind. On
examination the pupil Of one eye was found to
have been torn by blow upon the eye, and in the
other cataract was beginning to form. He was

colOred girl wanted her mammy's prescription
"neTd," and q little hoy wanted some medicine
for his little sister, who had whooping cough.
So the list went through, each in turn being
examined and prescribed for by the physicians
in attendance. After all had been served, the
visitor, in half hour with the doctors, gathered
these facts concerning this charitable institu-
ton.
The dispensary was established about four
years ago, originally under the auspices Of
the medical faculty Of Georgetown College. 1t
has been kept open since by the untiring exer.
lions Of few physicians, mostly young men. 1t
lie supported entirely by charity.
II ts located in the building owned and occupied
by the Georgetown Medical College, the use OF
the rooms being rent free. 1t is open every day
in the week, except Sunday, from TO 8 p. m, and
is attended by two physicians each day. The at
tending staff is composed Of six doctors, each at
tending two days in the week, as follows: DR.. u.
H. A. kleinschmidt, on Monday and Friday; DR..
]. Walters, Monday and Thursday; DR.. H. II.
Barker, Tuesday and Thursday; DR.. VIM. H.
Ross, Tuesday and Friday; Drs. W. Q. Briscoe
and g. V. Boarman, on Wednesday and Saturday.
The average number Of patients treated daily now
is from fifteen TO twenty. In two years last past
upwards Of four thousand prescriptions have been
dispensed. The entire control Of the dispensary
is in the hands of this staff, who not only give the
medical attendance but solicit the contributions
by which the establishment is kept up.
A considerable portion Of the medicines are con-
tributed by various druggists IN the District the
balance are purchased with money given. This
establishment is doing a praiseworthy work, and
deserves the aid and support Of all benevolent
and charitable persons. Other establishments
are doing the same kind of benevolent work, and
doubtless deserve like contributions and encOur-

That Montgomery County Episode.


To the Editor oTths National Republican:
SIR: An article published in The REPUBLICAN
Of the 80 instant, under the head of Episode at
Montgomery County Wedding" having, on ac-
count of q mlEstatement It contained, caused some
excitement among the gentler OF this corner Of
Montgomery, deem It my duty to the ladies Of
this county TO correct It.
The lucky reporter who gave you the incidents
in the episode having no doubt been on the spot
and "interviewed" the "little stranger and Its
mother, his statements were possibly mostly cor
rect; but when he infers that "Old Montgomery
holds indisputable right and title to the late ad
dition to our population he is quite mistaken for
the newcomer crossd over the river from Viz
ginia day CT two previous to the "episode," and
Is therefore stranger to us In more senses than
one.
We would probably have had nothing to talk
about until the time Of the next fair had 1t not
been for the kindness Of our friends on the other
side of the river, and, If our frequent visits to
Washington" do not prove the means Of furnish
ing Us more decent topic of conversation than
the one your reporter spread abroad, why We can
easily dispense with the boosted training our
young men receive In Washington.
Our ladies are quite indignant over the often
sive article. They have made all manner Of
threats against its author, and II THE REPUBLI-
CAN should some bright morning receive q call

this case Is called in the Police Court. The boy
was told If he would disclose the name OF his

business. This he peremptorily refused to do,
which was very creditable TO q boy as ignorant as
he lie. He was left in the cell up 10 or O'Clock

District Assessors.

A meeting of the board OF assessors Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia was held Saturday. They had
under consideration the subject Of the taxation
OF church property. Section Of the law says
that ''church buildings, and grounds actually
occupied by such buildings, reasonably needed
and actually used for the convenient enjoyment
Of such building for its legitimate purpose, and
no other, shall be exempt from taxation" This
will embrace the Georgetown College property,
the Columbian College property and many Of the
cemeteries in the county.
Mr.. E. W. W. Griffin has been appointed by
the board as their chief clerk, a very worthy ap-
pointment. Mr.. Grifin's duty will be to com pile
the late assessors books, and prepare the same
for the action Of the present board.
