Mr.. Edward L. Droop, the surviving partner
OF the late firm OF W. q. MetZerott 4 Co.. has
arranged 10 carry on the business In his own
behalf at the old stand, No. 025 Pennsylvania
avenue. Mr. Droop has grown up In the musi-
cal business, having frst entered II as clerk TO
Mr.. Metzerott about twenty'seyen years ago,
and sagacity TO an equal partnership with
that gentleman. In all these years he has
done what 10y IN his power 10 promote and ad.
vance musical culture In this city, and has
gained the entire confidence OF our musical
Community. He Will maintain a full and com
plete line OF sheet music, musical publica
lions and musical instruments OF oil kinds
pianos, square, grand and upright, including
those from the factories OF steinway, dablel
and others whose agency he has secured. MIR
Droop's extensive experience and well-earneC

success 10 his venture.

THE Presidents message is the topic of
the hour. Up to noon to-day it was not
nearly all in type or in the hands of the
Government Printer. Up to date the
message has not been stolen. A safe at the
Government Printing Office contains type
and proofs of what is prepared, and 1t looks
very much as if safe burglary will be
necessary to get the message to an anxious
world in advance of its presentation to
Congress-

0N Monday Congress will convene, and
for three months the peoples chosen Repre-
sentatives will wrestle with affairs of state
and the business of their constituents. The
session is likely to be busy one. Its
bIevity will bca rebuke and obstacle to in
activity, and the usual degree OF Congress
sional energy will be insufficient to carry
through the most imperative business Of
the session. 1t is the general impression
that tho business of the session will be
mainly confined to the appropriation bills

SOCIETY may rejoice and the world movo
on. Elsewhere in to.day's paper the as
surance is given that the Inauguration ball
can be held in the new Pension Office build
ing. General Meigs says that few tons of
coal, canvass canopy aud a temporary
dancing floor will solve the problem and
afford as grand dancing hall as was ever
graced by an Inauguration ball.

THE annual report of the District Com
missioners was submitted to the President
to-day 1t is document well worthy of
careful consideration and on the whole
highly satisfactory.
The recommendations are almost uni
formly such as can be heartily indorscd by
all people; the compliments bestowed are
such as can be generally re.echoed.
The demand that we should have longer
hours of street illumination that the tele-
graph poles must go that the river front
and wharves should be under more COM
plete official control, and that new Dis
trict building should be provided are all
reasonable, just and urgent.
About the steam-railroad routes there is
an indefniteness that might be taken to
intimate the Commissioners belief that no
radical changes will be accomplished by the
present session.
The street-railroad question, whilo an
important one to the public, is not ono in
which vital interest is taken, because there
is somo doubt whether the Commissioners
are more competent to run the street-cars
to the satisfaction of the public than the
companies themselves. 1t is not at all cer-
tain that the proposed plan would be the
best for the correction of existing defects.
The Commissioners have been efficient,
successful and energetic in many import
ant features of their work, and it is greatly
to bo desired that they should be given
whatever authority is necessary to facili-
tate the collection of revenue and enforce.
ment Of assessments.
The report shows that many depart
ments of the local government have i'm
proved greatly in efficiency.

In treating this question the report says
that the Commissioners nave had their atten.
tion Invited by the public to the laws govern
ing tho manner OF running cars by those com
panioe. Their charters provide that they shall
place nrst.clase cars on said railways, with all
the modern improvements, for the convenience
and comfort OF passengers, and shall run cars
thereon during the day as often as every i've
minutes, except as TO Seventh and Fourteenth
streets, and on these once In fifteen minutes
each way, and until 10 o'clock at night as
often rs every half hour, and throughout day
ana night as much oftener as public con-
venience may require.
The Commissioners suggest that somebody

lions are complied with, and to have power to

snowslide in Utah.

Cache valley, this season, has already
besn the scene Of several rather serious
snowslides. Almost Simultaneously with
the one recounted in special dispatch
to the Herald last week, another, less
disastrous in its effects, occurred in
Smithville caiou. Two boys were en-
gagged In getting out wood and without
any warning, were suddenly buried un-
der the swift and powerful body, which.
however. had not attained sufficient
proportions to cover the boys over with
aBy great depth. Fortunately there
were parties further up the cxfion, who.
on hearing the noise. hurried to the ,cene
and succeeded in Extracting one of the
victims, who had become so effectively
entangied in the legs Of one Of the horses
as to render self help impracticable. The
dog belonging to the boys had been
far enough away to escape the disaster
and performed very valuable aid in the
recovery Of the other boy by sceuting
the body and uncovering the head and
face by scratching the snow. WHIST
was most remarkable, neither of the
boys sustained .ny serious injuries, the
most being those inflicted by the horse
in the latter's struggles for freedom. =
