The Grand Army Fair has been the
most successful fair ever held in this city,
Of which We have any knowledge. Crowds
have attended it day and night. overflow
ing the hall the greater part of the time.
Contributions have poured in literally in
large and small amounts. Even the
weather has been uncommonly well be-
haved for this season of the year. The af-
ternoon of the baby show was as pleasant
IS q day in September, and seemed to
have been especially adapted to the safe
exhibition Of the darling. dimpled. little
cherubs. The managers of this fair and
there co-workers are to be congratulated
on the perfection with which they have
managed and conducted everything -even
70 the weather and the travelling. If it
has not been the biggest show on EARTH"
it has come as near that as any fair could
in this city.

Statistics of Metropolitan Life,

Over one-half of the /, so 700 people
living in New York have their homes in
tenement-honses. says correspondent
of the Philadelphia Record. If to this
number are ddtd those who live in
fiats-which are tenement-hOuses of a
comfortable sort-and in the stylish
apartment buildings, and those who
reside in the hotels, and if third re-
duction is made for those who share a
house with one or two families, the
number Of families who have an entire
house to themselye will lie found to
be very small indeed-not one in ten.
Son of the statistics of metropolitan
Lille are very curious. For Instance, we
pay $7,000,00J for our anus ments.
and it is supposed that our 10000
whiskey and beer saloons gather in
three times as mu n money at the
least, while the item of education costs
US $4,000.O00. The average of wages
paid In our manufactures is 1921
year-or $1.37a a day--and if it were
not above the average paid elsewhere
it would be impossible to pay our higk
rents. There is wide field for mis-
sionary operations here, for out OF
210.496 children between the ages of
five and eighteen only lis 1926 attended
Sunday-school last year. Indeed, not

HON. J. A. J. CRESSWELL NOT
OPPOSED TO COL. DITTY

Editor IF the Bee
SIR desire space enough in the
columns of your paper to deny the
statement of the Sunday Capital of
March III, 1888, in which it states that
Hon. J. 4. j. CreSSwell was in league
with the enemies of Col. Ditty. to have
him removed from the office of Collector
of Internal Revenue for the Third
District Of Nd. In an interview with
three State Senators held at Willard's
Hotel few days previous to the pub
licatiOn above referred to, and which
was also published in one of the daily
papers Mr.. Creswell stated to the
gentlems n present, that he would rec
Ommend no one for Mr.. Ditty's y lace
because he believed Mr.. Ditty's mental
condition was better to-day than at any
time since he had held the office. and
certainly better than at the time of his
appointment. There are no two men
whom know whose dispositions are so
identical as J. A. j. CressweIl andGenl.
Grant always true to friend. Why?
Mr.. Editor, the colored people of the
District of Columbia owe this gentle
man a debt of gratitude which they
will never be able to pay, and which
they would pay with interest if they
could, for his manly efforts, while a
Senator, to give the elective franchise
to the people of the District of Colum-
hia. He was always willing and ready
to hear anything the colored men had
to say; was easy to approach could be
seen at any time without ceremony,
because he was their true friend in this
matter. This occurred while he was
Senator and member of the District
Committee, SO am informed by Hon.
John F. Cook. l have been with Mr..
CreSswell while in heated political dis
and with him in his social
circle, and have never heard him use
any expression that might in the re-
hottest degree, be construed to be
against the interest of the colored
people of Maryland, as has been shown
by several public meetings held in diff
ferent parts of the State recently.
Mr.. Cresswell is not onlya friend to the
eolored people, but isa friend to Col.
Ditty as well. My reason for referring
TO the publication above alluded to, is
hat it places Mr.. CreSswell in a false
position in reference to the removal OF /
Mr.. Ditty. He is for Ditty first, last |
and all the time.
