Washington Cor. Baltimore sun.

washington COT. BaltlfnOrc sun.
Some days since Mr.. Philip Reich, of Fred.
erck, Md, came to this city on n visit. He is
50 years of age, though we'll preserved, and
had not been here since ho was soldier In
the war OF 1912, being ono OF tho defenders
OF the Capitol at that timc. AS he was return.
ing TO his homo he met Representative Urner
on the cars. Mr.. Reich asked Mr.. Urner about
the time OF the probable adjournment OF Con-
somewhat In doubt Just then, but would take
place some time about tho beginning OF August.
He added that Congress "took hold OF things
with n rush " sometimes, and might adjourn
much sooner than was generally expected.
Mr.. Reich said there had been much
said about things being conducted In slow
way In old times, and that the people OF tho
present day claimed to be much more pro-
gressive than their fathers and grandfathers
had been. While he said he would not deny
this, he thought that Congress was about as
slow now as at any time In the past. Mr.. Urner
asked that he explain, which Mr.. Reich did.
He said "When was In Washington before,
in 1914, the claim OF II. X. Meade, father
Of General Meade, who commanded at Gettys-
burg, was under consideration. 1t was q
Spanish claim OF some kind for damages
and losses no sustained In Spain. Aftor
turned, and what case do you think
was under consideration when got
into tho Capitol The same claim

No, sir, Congress does not do things with a

however, with his visit, and entertained n
number OF persons in the car with his compar-
isons and narratives OF ye olden time. Ho said
that General Meade crossed his place, near
Frederick, during tho war, and he lMr. Reichl
spoke to him General Meade), telling him OF
his acquaintance with his father. He spoke
to General Meade OF his fathers claim, and
General Meade told him that It was still pend
ing before Congress. Much as that surprised
him. he was more surprised by finding 1t Still

Wine Mt the White House.


There Is something OF q stir In religious cir
cles here In regard to certain statements made
in the ZionS Heydid, a religious publication In
Boston, In a letter written by Rev. W. l. Nc
Kenney, the pastor Of Wesley Chapel, one Of
the prominent Methodist Episcopal churches
OF this city. In Mr.. McKenney's letter he
states that while there was no Intoxicating
liquors allowed TO come into the White House
while Mr.. Hayes was there, ''whisky cocktails"
and wines OF various kinds are freely used
there now. Mr.. McKenney also charges
that the President is nearly always late
IN going to st. Johns Church, where
he attends, seldom arriving there until
the principal part OF tho service is over,
and that as u rulo no never gots
there until the sermon is being delivered. He
intimates that the President does not favor tho
high church practices that arc followed at st.
Johns, and thatt this is what keeps him from
attending tho entire service. In tho last issue
Of Zion'S Herald the regular correspondent
II. H., denies all OF the statements mado by
Rev. Mr.. McKenney. Ho admits that the
President "might have been little late" once
or twice, but generally ho assists In tho entire
service. He denies that st. Johns Church is O
high church, as usually understood, though
he admits that tho services there are
"churchy" in some respects. Tho papers con
taining the original letter and the answer
have been circulated quite freely to-day
among church going people and cause con
siderable comment.

The Water Supply Bill.
To-day's Republican.

There seems to be some misunderstanding as
to tho bill increasing the water supply for tho
District. At first there was provision that
the entire cost should be paid by the District
but this was so manifestly unjust in. view OF
the large amount OF interest the Government
has In the matter that modification was made
which divided the expense equally between
the General Government and tho District.
Now, however, 1t seems that the work is To be
done under the auspices and by the direction
OF the Secretary OF War. This was not contem-
plsted, we are sure, for IL 1t Is to be entirely n
Government work, performed by Government
officers, tho District should not be chargeablc
with any of the cost. The fact that the Dis
trict is 10 pay one.half the expense is u plain
indication that the work was intended 10 be
carried out under the direction OF the District
Commissioners and TO be In harmony with the
water system of the District. 1t seems that
additional legislation Is necessary TO effect
this, and that action should be taken at once,
so that there may be no delay in the prosecu
tion OF this much. eded improvement.

CRITIc as formidable and successful rival

known, even the stupid managers of the
star at last found 1t out Disturbed in
their monopoly and demoralized In their
business by the rapid advance of THE
Critic, the poor, silly fools who control
the Star have pursued General Brady with
all the malice that narrow bosoms could
make room for, and have assaicd him with
all the malignity that feeble minds could
invent. In this blind crusade the Star
managers have sacrificed every atom OF
Judgment to their harmless fury and have
sunk every yestige of discretion in their
impotent rage.
Intent only upon assaling General
Brady, they have lent themselves without
stint or reason to tho designs of every
advcnturer or backmailcr who could find
uses degrading enough to meet their capac-
ity. They are now beginning to reap their
reward, in being contemptuously repudi-
ated and spit upon by the very men to
whose uses they have so eagerly stopped in
prostitution, whenever it may suit mo-
mcntary purpose or a passing exigcncy to
repudiate and spit upon them.
There remains but ono lower step Of de-
basement for the poor, stupid, silly mana
gers Of the star to take;
They must now either admit that Bliss
did not use the language they ascribcd to
him or they must reaflirm 1t and defy him.
If they do the first, they confess TO u
false and malicious libel, not only upon
Bliss, but upon the twenty-thrce esteemed
and honored citizens who composed the

If they do the latter they admit the COR

The report is that he will repeat Howitt's

ished Major refused to accept, and then il

One day messenger handed in to me,

note. Of which the following is a verba.
tim copy. Major Edwards examined It
and afterwards learned that Jesse James
had been In St. Louis at the time. The
object OF the letter, from the date and con.
tents, was TO convey the impression that
the writer was in Texas. The letter has

1t is not probable that Jesse James
could havo been captured in any fair way
without the loss of good many lives.
They tell incredible stories of his skill
with pistol, and anything that could be
done with a horse or on one he did. His
stud was finer one.than anybody's, except
Bonner's probably, but not as royalty
stabbed. He had the reputation Of being
very liberal with his old companions who
needed help, and not at all quarrelsome
OF overbearing. His blows, If required,
generally preceded any words. In tho
western part Of the State of Missouri
there was not bride path or lane that
he did not know. 1t was, therefore, at.
most impossible to surround him. It is
no; true that the people of those sections
sympathized with him. They were in
mortal terror of him and knew too well the
fate of men who tried to betray him. His
pistols were always ready. Even in the
brief report of his killing, it is stated
that he laid his revolvers on the bed while
bathing his face, and then it was that q
bullet was sent crashing into his skull
from behind. Probably that is as fair a
way to kill mad dog, or mad man, or
human devil as any other Every body
will breathe freer in Missouri aow that
he IL dead; but one cannot help thinking
what man and hero he might have
made if he had only been started right
and kept right.

WHERE SLATE PENCILS COME FROM.
Any one who has children and who,
about forty times during a term, hears
complaints about their pencils. their
breaking or loss, will perhaps be glad to
know that the supply is just about mex.
ha astibIo. There Is not tLs slightest
danger that the world will eve; want for
slate pencils. The hard blacl German
ones have been superseded OF late. At
the quarry near Castleton, VT. about
thirty-five workmen produce $4,000
pencils daily, and it is proposed to IN
crease the daily output to 100000, The
blocks when quarried are sawed into
pieces seven by twelve inches, split to q
thickness of g half inch and smoothed by
a planer, the block is placed under q
semi. circular knife and after having been
turned over, theprocess is repeated. The
result is fifty.scven inch pencil. A par
ticle of quartz in the block would break
all the pencils. They are pointed by a
grindstone turned, assorted and sent to
market in boxes Of hundred.
