pointed one Commissioner from the disfran-
chised portion OF the District. and one whose
hands were clean from all contact with real
estate pools, star route. and all other rings"
After setting forth that Intellectual attempts
had been made to place the facts cited before
the proper House committees the statement
closes by saying: please remember that 1t Is by
the action OF Congress that we are denied the
right OF any voice in the selection of our rulers
and that once they are confirmed we are utterly
helpless. The papers have stated that Senators
OF this committee said that it rested with the
people of the District to say whether this nomi-
nation should be confirmed and that if they had
objections they should present them to the COM
mittee. That. gentlemen, we have now done.
1t remains for you to say whether our protest
shall be needed or not"

Pathological Points.
QUERIES ANSWERED BY THE ORACLES OF THE
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

QUERIES ANSWERED BY THE ORACLEs OF THE
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
"How should pears be prevented from rot
ting at the core?" was the first question that
Mr.. Saul, the president of the Horticultural So
ciety, drew last evening from the question box.
| There Is only one way that know, responded
| Mr.. Saunders, with smile, land that is to eat
them before they rot"
Mr.. Needham suggested that they should be
picked and allowed to ripen in a COOL dry place.
Mr.. Saunders said that if the question was
how to keep them for long time then un.
doubtedly tie best way was to pick them before
| they were ripe. But as the question stood his
| first answer was the correct one; for in the
course OF nature, pears were bound to rot at the
core sometime.
| Mr.. Saul argued that the question was not
properly wOrded, but he thought that the best
way of keeping pears for a long time was to
pick them when they had fully matured ana be-
| fore the rfpenng process began.
Mr.. Saunders said that the only definite rule
| on the subject was that all pears should be
gathered when the seeds began to color.
FERTILIZERS FOR PEAR TREES.
The next question was "What fertilizers are
best for the pear tree, and will any manure
cause or prevent their rotting?"
In the discussion that followed it was devel-
oped that rot as q disease seldom affected the
pear as it did the peach or plum. The rot at the
| core was In the course OF nature Little or no
manure was needed on a good pear soil, which
was described to be a well drained clay. The
planting Of rye in pear orchard in the fall and
ploughfng it In in the spring was considered be-
nefcial in the way of fertilizing. 1t was also
suggested that ashes and iron rust had proved
beneficial.
THE PROPAGATION OF FRUIT TREES
The next question, ''What is the proper time
and method for propagatlng fruit vines from
single eyes?" gave rise to an interesting inter-
change Of views. 1t was stated that any time
between now and April LIST would do, but that
the best time was in November, when the plants
were pruned. The best condition for planting
is when the cutting is placed in warn earth
with the top in cool air. During October the
average temperature Of the earth is 100 higher
than the air. The reason why one-eyed cuttings
were so difficult to grow is because the cutting
is SO short. but If the moisture is preserved the
short cutting will grow equally as well as the
large. This is attained by covering the top of
the cutting with charcoal-dust, sand or tan-dust
Mr.. Saunders said that he knew man who
got out patent for raising cuttings with single
eyes, aud the feature OF the patent was to cover
them with four inches Of tan-dust. He had
been doing this for years and the idea was not
new one,

More About the Commissioner,
To the Editor Of The EVENING star:

To the Editor Of The EVENING SfAR;
We are well aware the place of District Commits
sioner requires man familiar with the wants and
needs Of the District, and one who is able to Judge
OF the relative values OF real estate, &C., &C. II
President Arthur contemplated appointing Mr.
Hancock to that Office, It was because the gentle
man in question could NIL it In every particular,
should President Arthur wish to pay Gen Han
cock graceful compliment? Is 1t Just that our
President should be accused of making senti-
mental appointment to any positions Gen. Han
cock does not wish to be paid TOR being defeated
his defeat was due TO hfs pclitcs alone. We do
Commissioner. but we do know and believe that
hts appointment TO the Vacancy, which we hope
VIII De made by Mr.. Oimsbead not being con-
nrmed, would give entire satisfaction to the peo-
pie OF the District. It would be an eminently
proper appointment, as he has been resi-

Your enterprising reporter went too far In
briefng for your issue Of the Goth inst. certain
unsworn papers filed in suit by Miss Narrower
for damages against the trustees for the sale of
her furniture under the deed of trust. Miss H.
and her attorney, Mr.. Webb, well know that 1
was not present and had nothing to do with
moving the furniture or the sale, being sick at
the time. Mr.. Bowling. the auctioneer, informs
me that Miss II. was present at the sale and ex-
pressed herself as specially pleased with the
management and prices realized. Furthermore,
in justice to Mr.. Luckett, the trustee who at
tended to all the details In person, will say
that it is claimed by the magistrate and attorney
that every step taken by Mr.. Dutrow to realize
his loan was regular, legal and after due notice.
Mr.. Webb (whOse client, the landlord. realized
over 5000 due him out Of the proceeds of the sae)
himself knows the proceedings were all regular,
and will soon find it convenient to withdraw the
papers in the suit. E. W. WHITAKER.

CHURCH.
special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
from Allentown, Dec. 26th, says: IAN attempted
abduction of boy IA years of age in the lions
Reform church last evening during the celebra-
ton Of a Christmas festival, caused considerable
sensation. Three years ago alady named Dennis
came to this city from Washington, D. C. She
was in poor health, and about IS months ago she
died. She brought with her a son named
Archer, who, since his mothers death, has lived
in the family of Jacob Scholl. Last evening
Mrs. SchOll and the boy went to lions Reform
church, and while interested in the exercises.
they were approached by two men, who, by
sheer force, attempted to take the boy away.
Naturally there was a scene and the cries of the
boy and Mrs. Scholl caused great commotion in
the crowded church and the ushers promptly
came to the rescue and elected the attempted
abductOrs. 1t is said that one of the men was
A. B. Dennis, the guardian of the boy, and the
other man, it is said, belongs In EaSton. The
boy is possessed ofconsderable property located
in Washington and he has recently brought
action to have Dennis removed as guardian
and have another person act in his stead. AS
the guardian must file an account of his wards
affairs on the Goth inst, 1t is believed that the
attempted fOrcible abduction had something to
do with the natter
