THE LUNCH FIENDS.
A Suggestion to Cabinet Ofiicers in Re
gard TO DELINQUENT ClerlSs.

gard to Delinquent Clerks.
EDITOR CRITIC: read your leading editorial
yesterday on the abuses Of the "Mount Vernon
Monopoly" and as | was recently one of the
victims think you hit the black spot and rang
the bell
And while you are on the subject Of abuses
should like to state that the several Cabinet of
ficers have kindly permitted lunch stands to he
established in such places as the Pension Office,
Patent Office, Treasury and in other public
buildings for the accommodation Of the clerks
at noon, but that the people who run those
stands to my own knowledge have trusted and
do trust those clerks for small sums "uutil
payday" and that some of them never pay a
cent.
The lunch stand in the Pension Office has the
following unique protest at inexcusable rob
berry: ave prefer to dispense with the custom
of all persons who do not pay their bills ut
each succeeding pay day."
As it has occurred to me that all of the Sec
retaries would only be too glad to enforce
honesty in this matter Of lunch accounts were
the matter brought to their notice, would
most respectfully suggest that they each de-
clare in a special order that "all lunch stand
accounts which are not paid by the third day
after pay day will be good cause for the ap-
pointment of another person who will pay
such small bills"
1t is a common by-word and jest that there
is more petty thievery at these Departmental
lunch stands than any other place in this city,
and In the name of common decency hope
that honesty will be enforced in the matter
herein complained of. HONESTY.

BASEBALL SMALLTALK.

Two wild throws cost Washington two runs
IN yesterdays game with Philadelphia and
lost the victory. Deasley was rather of in his
throwing, but the one throw TO Donnelly,
which let IN run in the first inning, was his
only costly break In the fifth Washington
caught a man between first and second and
second and third. After several passes the
ball was thrown by O'Brien to Donnely, but
so low that Donnelly mufIed It, aud the run
was scored. Philadelphia battod out her other
run. In the ninth, with two men on bases,
Bui1inton shrewdly gave Daily his first on balls.
1t probably saved Philadelphia the game.
O'Brien tried TO hit over the fence instead
OF making a single, and as q consequence sent
up high iv to irwin. Hoy distinguished him
self by making FIVE hits, one every time at bat.
Washington made often, but not opportunely,
the Phillies putting up superb game in the
field. Score, 3 to 2. Pitchers, Buflinton and
O'Day.
Hoosiers yesterday and they could do little
with him. Poor fielding gave them runs in
the first, but the Chicagos then braced and
batted out n victory.
Hard hitting bv New York in the fifth de-
feated Boston. Boston secured runs in the
sixth by good hitting aud the Giants errors,
but could not overcome the lead. Keefe aud
Sowders were disabled by hard hits and Nor
rills toe was badly spiked by Whitney. Score,
9 to g. Pitchers, Keefe and Crane, Sowders
and Madden.
Rain stopped the Detroit game at the end OF
the fourth, the score being 2 to l against
Pittsburg.

THE LIE DROIT PARK FENCE.

w. Scott Smith Erects u Wire Barrier
Across Linden Street.
Armed with power of attorney from A. L.
Barber, authorizing him TO act as Mr.. Barber's
representative in all matters pertaining to lie
Droit Park, Mr. w. Scott Smith, president of
the Park Association, went to the scene of the
"fence war; in herdic cab yesterday after
noon. Besides Mr.. Smith the cab contained a
huge spool of barbed wire, Messrs. G.. s.
Prindle and Howard l.. Prince. Three col
ored men were pressed into service, and, in
half an hour, the fence across Linden street
was up, barring the Howardtown residents
from the Park with as much bravado as ever.
h At O'Clock Mr.. G. Il. Banes, one Of the
syndicate, and Mr.. A. A. Birney, its counsel,
drove up to the fence and said that it chad to
come down tonight" But three officers were
on hand and the fence remained.
The temporary restraining order granted yes
terday by Chief Justice Bingham proved to be
of no account, as no bond was filed with it.
A. s. Worthington and Congressman Ben.
Butterworth, attorneys for the Park, applied
for and obtained modification of the tempo
rary restraining order issued yesterday in the
lie Droit fence controversy from Chief Justice
Bingham this morning
The order provides that A. L. Barber and
the other defendants shall be restrained from
doing anything to change the status of the
fence or obstruction, it being the intent that
it shall remain as it now exists until the fur
ther order Of the court, to be made after
hearing of the case on August II.
The bond to make good any damages sus-
tanned by the defendants by reason of any in
justice was signed by Uriah Daley, Henry d.
Boteler and Charles T.. Barber.
Mr. Birney said this afternoon that it had
been ageed by the parties in dispute that in
the interest of harmony, the present fence
should stand until after the decision of the
court.

Free Cooking Exhibition.

Professor Harry Lovejoy of Philadelphia
gave an exhibition on cooking and free lunch
to a large crowd of people at the store Of John
Kennedy, 1929 Seventh street, on Thursday.
lie presented a practical illustration of new
cooking stove known as the Gauze Door
Stove or Range, and in doing SO he roasted and
broiled many pounds of choice beef, besides
baking bread aud biscuit. the new idea in the
stove is a gauze door on the oven, instead of
tight one An S4-pound roast was baked in
the oven in ~ minutes, without being bGsted
once. When taken out it was found to have
lost only half pound in weight, while in the
old-fashioned tight oven it would have lost
from 2 to p pounds. He broiled stakes in
the oven in nine minutes, and they were thor
oughly cooked and juicy when taken out
Eggs were cooked in the shell and biscuits were
baked in II minutes. The range was pro-
nounced the best ever seen here. They are
manufactured by Thomas, Roberts, Stephens
~ Company, Philadelphia, and it is also
claimed for them that they save about 33 per
cent in fuel.

The Catskills and Saratoga Through Car
Line.

Travel to the Catskills, Lake George points
and Saratoga is greatly facilitated by the
through paror car service, via Pennsylvania
Railroad and its connections. The train
leaving Philadelphia at $50 a. M, carries
a through parlor car to Grand Hotel Station,
and connects for Kaatersllill and all principal
points in the mountains. It also connects at
Jersey City with through parlor car for Cald
well, whence well-equippod boat line runs
to Sycamore. The boat ride over the beauti-
ful lake is a very interesting part of the
trip.
The express leaving Washington 0 a. m,
Baltimore lO;0S a, m, and Philadelphia l249

arriving there at 9;25 p. m.
The journey is robbed of any WEAKNESS by
