factory two-room brick ediiice or very
unsatisfactory four-roOm frame structIlre
A NUMBER of residents of the Sixth
School Division have protested against the
locating of school on the site selected near
Bennings, rs they claim that it would be
SO near the car track as to endanger the
lives of the children while at play. They
also ask for four-room building instead
| of two-room building as they think that
the $4,000 appropriated is sufficient fol
such q building.

The Battle of the sIop.pails.

Pnlhuelpnlh InrOnlCle-teralu.
Mr.. Charles Emory Smith and Mr.. Hugh j.
Hastings have been for some days past on
gagged In singing slang books and rogues
lexicons at each other. Each of these gentle.
men seems to have made close study OF the
vocabulary of hlth.
Liar, fool, sneak, villain, reprobate, knave,
dog, polecat, are few of the choice epithets
which have boen used In the discussion be-
tween these editorial fish women.
Hastings insists that Smith cannot tell the
truth, and Smith resurrects an old paper
written by Hastings forty years ago and pro-
nOuncing himself falsiler and llbeler.
And all this interchange OF mud, slops and
garbage has been brought about as the result
OF n statement by Mr.. Smith that Mr.. Conklng
had pronounced this Administration OF Mr..
Arthur's 10 be worse than Hayes, which state.
ment Mr. Hastings denied and pointed to as an
illustration OF Charles Emory Smiths barren
ness In the matter of yeracity.
How II must amuse Mr.. Conkling, as he
stands by and witnesses his old fuglemen,
once locked hand-in-hand In devotion TO his
service, now emptying their slop-carts on each
other.
We should expect this conduct from the obi :
tors. OF the Rocky Mountain Skunk Catcher
or the Idaho Slang WhdngeT, but certainly not
from such able, eminent aud dignined Iourn-
alists as the champion OF New York Stalwart-
ism ana the imported leader OF Philadeiphias q
Halfbreed dudes.

Paying Checks.


LONDON Letter.
Bankers in the United States place little re-
liance upon signatures as a means of iden-
tihcntion In payment or checks, etc, Tho per-
son who presents q check to an American
bank for payment must be positively inden-
titled before the money will be paid TO him.
II is in vain for him to offer as evidence that
he Is the right man any handwriting testl-
mony. And II does not make any difference
whether the check is payable TO bearer or
order. Identincations In both cases is de-
manded. In England one fnds most mark
ed difference from this way Of doing business.

Of check is all right both IA
point OF signature OF tho drawer
and as regards tho drawers balance,
and then slaps out the money 10 whoever pre-
sents the check 1t matters not whether the
check is payable to order or 10 bearer He de-
mands no Identification in either case. He
only looks upon the back OF the order
dorsed. This check. paying custom did not
always prevail In England. At one
time the English practice In these prem
ises was the same as ours is now. At that time
we copied our custom from them. They have
since progressed out OF 1t. We remain tied 70
one OF these days. The great bankers OF
London long ago found they never
could get through their business II the ideutl-
ncatton responsibility was 10 remain upon
them, They pressed the matter upon the at
tention OF Parliament. Parliament came TO
their relief. 1t said, pay checks to whoever
presents them, and your whole duty is done
II to-day drop my check I'm London, made
payable TO order OF W. ID. Morrill, tho nrst
rascal that picks 1t up In the streets and puts
that check-and get imprisoned for life for 30
doing. 1t is, OF course, the imperative duty
OF any person who has lost q check TO have It's
payment stopped at once.

The Light Infantry Fair.

There was another gala night at the
Light Infantry fair yesterday, the attend
ance being better than on any previous
evening. The voting is still very slow,
but candidates are active and some heavy
voting is being quietly secured for later
days. No organization will visit the fair
this week, the Union Veterans being the
first to pay their compliments on Monday.
Mr.. Charles A. La Mont, president of Cooper
Institute, New York, visited the fair dur
ing the evening.
At special meeting of the National Rifles
last night an invitation to visit the fair
was accepted, and the corps will attend
next Tuesday evening. The entire COM
mand will assemble at the armory at 8
o'clock sharp, in full-dress uniform.

The Pennsylvania Republican State Con-
vention will meet in Harrisburg July IL.
Only two nominations are to be made this
year, those for Auditor-General and State
Treasurer. The campaign is not ex-
pected to be an exciting one, and were it
not for the indication it will give of how
near harmony has been restored to
the Republican party, but little
interest would be awakened. Some
of the independents are not very
sanguine as to the efforts to unite, the two
factions, and think that while there may
be only one ticket in the field it will not be
cordially supported by those who
voted for Stewart last fall. This
will however, depend in great
measure upon the faithfulness with which
the instructions for choosing delegates to
the convention arc carried out. If they
are selected fairly and there is no appear
ance of bossisn, the party will be substan-
TALLY united.

Owners of Dogs Take Notice.

Mr.. p. S. Smith, clerk and superintend.
ent of the Washington Market has ad
dressed note to Health Officer Townshend
calling his attention to the habit many
persons have Of bringing dogs to market,
many of them filthy in their habits and a
source of terror to ladies and children.
This practice is unlawful, both as to
licensed and unlicensed dogs, and the
Health Officer to-day gave instructions to
Poundmaster Einstein to enforce the law
in every case.

ter his address last Wednesday night, he
was banqueted at Cosmopolitan Hall.

A vile Den Raided and the Inmates
Arrested.


Tho people living on the south side of
Maryland avenue, between Four-and-a-
half and Third streets, have been suffering
intolerable annoyance lately by the rowdy-
ism and nocturnal noises generated in sun
dry vile establishments on the opposite side
Of the thoroughfare None of tho houses
have been disturbed by the police for many
weeks, and the spicy denizcus thought they
were at liberty to live and have their being
in q manner suitable only to their
own inclnations The places were
the nightly resorts Of disorderly and vicious
characters from all parts of the District,
and those living near by were frequently
aroused at midnight by drunken rowdyism,
fights and obscenity. Complaints were made
to theFirst Precinct Station, and last night,
shortly after o'clock, Sergeants Leech and
Nokes, assisted by Roundsmen Kenner,
Barry and Williams, surrounded Lottie
Clark's establishment at No. 329 Maryland
avenue, and succeeded in capturing the
Jams, James Crown and John. Fisher.
white, and William Douglas, q colored
dude, and after vigorous struggling and
useless verbiage landed them all in cells,
to answer for their ways before Judge
Smell. The inmates of the other establish
ments thought the raid would be general,
and, while Lottie and her crew entertained
the officers, they busted themselves leaping
from the windows and over fences and
seeking shelter in the alleys and back
yards of the vicinity, to escape the officers.
Lottie's house was more disorderly than
the rest but all of them are crying dis
grace to that section of the city, and ore
ong similar raids will be made.

library of the Washington Arsenal last

The Haytien revolution is said 10 arise out
OF color prejudice, The pure'blooded negroes
have been prosecuting the mulattoes TO such
an extent that the latter have taken up arms
in their own defense. Reports do not state the
exact shade Of blackness which is necessary
TO safety in that realm. Probably II does
not matter, as the progress OF the revolution is
such that even white man may have some
rights In Hayu eventually.
