THE HEBREW FAIR BALL.
a Successful Institution Closes with u
Dauce-P Presentation to Mr.. King.

Dance-Prescntation to Mr.. King.
The Hebrew fair for the benefit of their
charities. which received most generous
support from the citizens Of Washington,
and for which the managers are extremely
grateful, closed last night with grand ball,
which was attended by all the ladies and
gentlemen who volunteered their services
to insure success. The hall was stripped
of the booths, but the rich decorations yet
remained The floor was put In first rate
dancing condition, and the superb orchestra,
under the direction OF Prof. +. Krause, ono
Of the best leaders in the city, rendered
charming music, the numbers being made
up of the latest popular musical features
and from the new operas. The guests ar
rived early, and were received by the pretty
girls, whose energetic efforts made success
possible.
Before dancing was begun Mr. Clarke, of
the executive committee, and the other
members gathered around Henry King, ir.,
and Mr.. Clarke produced case, aud In q
neat speech said that the committee, as
well as others interested In the fair, wanted
to show that they appreciated the efforts of
Mr.. King In substantial way, and he
)uld unite with the others in presenting
MIR. King with q slight token of their APP
probation and regard The token proved
to be a very rich and handsome one. IL
was in the shape Of an octagon gold badge
hanging from cross-piece, connected
by finely wrought chain. The bar CON
tained the date of the Christian and Hebrew
years-"lSs6- 5GiG." In the center Of the
badge was diamond and around It was
the inscription: "Thc energetic and
self.sacriilcing deserve the reward Of the
fair On the reverse side was inscribed'
"To Henry King, jr,, from the executive
committee Of the Washington Hebrew fair,
Feb. 3, 1856" Mr.. King was very much
surprised, and for moment could say
nothing lie managed to stammer out his
thanks, however, and while his friends were
admiring his beautiful present the orchestra
struck up and the dance began.
The amount realized by the fair has not
been fully determined upon, but Is thought
that the gross receipts will aggregate
$4,000, and the net sum free for use about

on ths largest malny-,he pressure
is about thirty pounds TO The inch,
while the pressure ut which the EN-
gines deliver ii is one hundred and
fifty pounds to the inch. THIS pres
sure, which is obtained with eighty
pounds of steam, is what is com
monty used at the department drills.
At fire where the need is urgent,
this pressure will, If the supply of
water is sufficient, be carried up to
one hundred and seventy-fve or
eighty pounds.
In view of these facts it is easy to
understand why one engine emptied
the Empire House tank in less than
two hours, Notwithstanding that
receptacle contained twenty thou
sand gallons and was being con-
stantly fed by pipe whose capacity
was nearly fifty percent greater than
the united capacity of the openings
by which the engine discharged.
Equally plain is it why three-inch
pipe only supplied the cistern at
Fort and Hotel streets with water
about as fast as one engine drew it
out, although the capacity of a
three-inch pipe is about three and a
half times as great as both the aper-
lures through which the engine was
playing.

the FIRE AND THE WATER SUPPLY.
GCoMMUNICATED.

To gentleman who met the Min
lister of the Interior on the afternoon
of Sunday, April 18th, soon after
the breaking out Of the fire, that
official is reported to have remarked
in substance, that there was one
fortunate element in the case, viz,
that there waS plenty of acater.
From an account Of the fire, in the
p. e. advertiser of April 18th l
make the following extract:--
"There was an abundance OF
water during the entire fire, the only
mistake being made by No. 2 drawing
water from the Empire Hotel cistern
instead of from the city main, which
had to be ultimately done to keep
the cistern supplied. The Fire De-
partment had the full supply of
Kapena Pool to draw from, and it
was not from lack of water at any
time during the day that the fire
spread as it did. The condition of
the pool was inspected after the fire
last night by Mr.. j. H. Smith, Supt.
of Public Works, and Mr.. G. B.
Wilson, Supt. Of Water Works,
when it did not appear as if the
heavy and continuous drain for so
many hours had had any visible
effect in diminishing the supply"
Substantially the same statements
were, if / mistake not, made at
other times and places. Notwith-
standing these positive and circum-
stantial assertions, emanating from
quarters which ought to be we'll in
formed, the simple fact is that Sc
far from there being ian abundance
of water during the entire fire, y
there was no time throughout the
whole active stage of the contlagra-
ton when the Fire Department did
or could obtain from the mains, the
quantity of water they needed ano
could have proiitably used.
How much this lack of water may
have had to do with the spread OF
the fire, will not undertake to say
In the light of investigation made
since that time it is certain that the
department did not and could no
get, when it was most urgently
needed, such quantity of water al
the engines were intended to throw
and are fully capable OF throwing
Onr steam fire apparatus consists
of four engines throwing two streams
each, OF eight streams in all. lh'
two larger engines throw sever
hundred and fifty gallons minnt'
each, and the other two, about si'
hundred gallons a minute each
total throwing capacity OF the fou
engines, about twenty-seven hun
dred gallons a minute. Any on
who will take the trouble to inquire
can soon satisfy himself that at M
one time during the fire were thu
steamers able to throw these eight
streams, until towards its latte
stages, when No. was stationed OIL

Grand Success.

THE NEW METHOD of making Poi
i out of TarO Flour has reduced
the time from 21a hours to only 1
hour. The old method Of cooking it
in a bag has been discarded. There
is no need of binding n fire
specially for the purpose,
hut it can be cooked at the same time
that the ordinary meal is being
prepared.
Take an agate iron or porcelain lined
saucepan, and pour into 1t one part of
Taro Flour to two parts of water. Mix
we'll and be sure there are no Jumps.
Place the saucepan over good fire and
stir the -four and water with wooden
spoon or stick until it becomes thick.
which will take from 3 to 5 minutes,
according to heat employed. After 1t
is thick occasional thorough stirring is
necessary, adding little warm water
from time to time to prevent its getting
too thick. Let it simmer for nearly an
hour and be almost as stiff as paiai-'
that is, quite thick. Put 1t into Gala.
bash or large bowl. and let it stand
from two to three days, when 1t will be-
come nice and tart.
Should the Poi show tendency to
become cloggy or lumpy, 1t can easily
be remedied by smoothing down with
potato masher or wooden spoon.
Persons preferring sweet poi will find
that by cooking the -four according to
the above instructions while preparing
their evening meal and letting II stand
over night it will be in proper condition
for use on the following morning. t3s

PERMANENT SETTLEMENTS.

We are not aware that there is
any "jobbery" in the proposal to
make a permanent settlement on
Judge Fernandez, or in the case of
any other proposed permanent set
tlement. 1t may be true that . it is
well known in the lobby of the
House and upon the public streets
that the object Of these pension bills
is to retire officials from fat offices,
with the bait of fat settlements, so
that the vacancies can be used as
political sinecures to cancel political
promises. But it is knowledge
which we do not possess. If lob
berry" of the nature indicated exists,
it certainly should be exposed and
killed. We are quite sure that the
gentleman above mentioned can be q
party to nothing that is corrupt or
dishonorable, and we repeat our
former statement that if anyone in
the public service is entitled to a
permanent settlement, he is. We
are not prepared to say the same
respecting every one on whom it is
proposed to confer similar favor.
With regard to the general principle
of pensioning employees of the
state, who have worn themselves
out in the public service, we con-
slider it sound. Admitting that
there is force in the arguments
advanced on the other side, we are
Of opinion that reasons adduced in
favor are of greater force. Even
private corporations in some coun'
tries have concluded that it is wise
and proper to pension old and faith
full servants, and act accordingly
The practice is quite common il
Great Britain aud some OF hel
colonies.

IN spoordsncs With ,hs decision Of

the Wholesale Clothing Manuiac-
lures Association of Chicago, a
gigantic lockout was inaugurated on
the 18th. All the manufacturers
notified their cutters that for the
present no further work would be
given out. BY this acton nearly
10000 men and women have been
cut off from employment. A com
mittee OF middlemen called on the
leading wholesalers to see If some
compromise could not be reached,
but met with no encouragement.
Some OF the wholesale firms have as
much as ten days cutting Oh hand,
but say that to yield to the demands,
which they figure out as ranging
from 35 to 80 percent advance, would
be suicidal. The middlemen will
hold u meeting TO take action con-
cerning the dilemma in which they
are placed by the wholesalers, lock-
out.
At Chicago, on the 10th, all the
railways resumed operations, and
were accepting and caring for all the
freight offered without limit. All
the sash, door and blind factories
started up on the eight-hour basis
and nine-hours' pay.
There was no attempt TO resume
operations in the West Side lumber
district on the 1lth, and the 5000 or
10000 men employed in the yards
and planning mills were idle. The
yards in the north and south divi-
sions of the city and at the South
Chicago yards and planning mills
have resumed on the old basis Of
ten-hours' work and ten-hours' pay.
The metal working establishments
opened again with large working
forces. AS class the furniture
workers constituted the only ones
holding out for eight hours.
A general strike of switchmen has
been inaugurated at Indianapolis,
because non-union men were en-
ployed by the Vandalia Railroad.

The talk of the day in Paris is an
article in the "Journal des Debats'
on the strained relations between
France and Germany which are de-
clared to have existed since the death
of NJ. Ferry The "Journal des De.
bats" declared that the unfriendly
feeling which Prince Bismarck enter.
tanned for England while NJ. Ferry
was in Office is now directed toward
France. The hostile sentiment, the
writer says, is shown in the result Of
the Greek difficulty, in which Bis
marck has been all along bent or
making France futile in her diplo
macy in foreign affairs when she is
acting alone and without the aid ol
Prussia. The "Journal des Debats'
refers to the persistent attempts OF
