What tho Soldiers Dress Costs and
what the Officers Expend i'm the
Same Direction.
''That congressional appropriation,
captain" reporter remarked to mi
litia officer Thursday, will be quite big
help to the soldiers, will il not ?"
"Oh yes, Of course. But it can be
used only for the single purpose of CLOTH
Ing"
"Whst does soldiers uniform cost 2'
1.-THE hat, helmet, coat and trousers,
cost about $16.50. Blankets come 20
about $1.25. So that you can imagine
how far such sum as the government
has given us will go in reclothing the
regiment. or course, no such idea is
contemplated as that of giving the regi-
ment new set OF uniforms. Ali that
can be effected is pieee-mesl work. The
quartermaster will condemn the worst Of
the uniforms, replacing them with new
ones. The present clothing has been In
use three years. The greater part of it IL
good for another year. There must BIS
always number of misfits lying about
the various armory quarters. You know
when men leavs the regiment, going away
out of town, il does not always folloW
that the next recruits can be fitted exactly
with the left-of garments. Through this
certain number of useless garments
accumulate and become spoiled"
"Shall you need new rifles 2"
"Oh no, we are fairly fixed in that re-
spect."
"What do the officers uniforms cost 2"
can commanding officers purchase
their own suits. They are allowed COM
pensaticn of S25 per man. But that is
only partial help, an officers dress coat
alone costs $40. The trousers cest so and
the helmet about $3.50, the fatigue
blouse comes to about Sc and the epau.
lettes TO $3.50"
The whole of the 81, 800 will be quickly
swallowed up in the necessary require
ments OF the regiment"

ESThe Middletown Transcript says: Sat
urday week Witnessed somewhat novel
occurrence. l.. W. Stidham q Son, aue.
tioneers, of Wilmington, had announced
that they would sell in the afternoon a
number OF sets OF harness, and someone,
presumably acting for them, posted bill
stating the fact on Parker Il Willis walls
and threatened anyone defsciDg the bill
with 90 fine. Investigation by Parker
d Willis seemed to disclose that the har-
ness did not belong to Stidham, but to a
party from Newark, N. j., and N. M.
Willis decided to find out the truth. On
the arrival Of the LAT p. m. train Mr..
Stidham was approached by Mr.. Willis,
who asked II the merchandise belonged
to him, and, being answered in the afiirma.
tive, was requested to show his license.
Mr.. Stidham having left it at home, Mr..
Willis resolved to make test case Of the
matter, and so when Stidham commenced
to sell, procured warrant and bad him
arrested. MIR. Stidham gave bail for his
appearance at court and finished the sale.
The final result of the matter will be
looked for with interest.

ENLARGING THE POsT-OFFICE.
Postmaster Ross Proposes to do it by
Putting the Lobby Outdoors.

Postmaster Ross has devised plan for tenn
porarily charging the foor-space at tho city
post-office without moving out Of the present
structure. This plan is, in brief, to simply put
the lobby now used by the public outside the
building. This will add to the interior space
of the Office all the room now taken up by the
lobby. Postmaster Ross has approved plan
and let contract to Messrs. Espey & Been to
construct frame shed or covered lobby out
side of the building. This will be only one
story high, twelve feet wide, and
extend the whole length of the
building on the Louisiana avenue
side. 1t will take up 70 feet of space in the
public parking. Mr.. Ross, in applying for a
permit for this structure last evening repre-
sented that it would be only temporary. The
building inspector to-day recommended to the
Commissioners that the permit be granted. in
view of the fact that the structure is to be for
temporary use only. The Commissioners de-
clded to grant the permit, with the understand
ing that the structure shall be removed at any
time the Commissioners direct. Mr.. Ross had
already secured an enlargement of the quarters
occupied by the letter-carriers by inclosing
within the letter-carriers room the lobby space
IN front. This put the letter-carriers' window
out on the street. Mr.. Ross provided for an
awning to give some shelter to the public there,
but of course in winter weather an awning is not
which is practically an elongated storm-door,
will extend in front of the letter-carriers' de-
partment. The space within thus gained will
increase the accommodations of the miscella-
neous and dispatching divisions. The gene
raj delivery" will have more space, and there
will be two windows and an increased force.
One window will be for women. The space
now given up to boxes between the general
delivery and the corridor extending north and
south, will be given to the general delivery.
By extending the partitions forward this north
and south corridor will be heightened, and
thus additional space will be gained
for the boxes. The S715 allowed for
this work is to pay not only for the shed but
for moving the interior partitions. Postmaster
Ross said to a STAR reporter to-day that this
increased accommodation was demanded now,
especially in view of the increased business of
the office expected about the 4th of March.
This was the only thing that could be done
under the circumstances. The whole affair, he
said, temporary and involved no very great
expenditure. The street is wide that he
thought this projection could not seriously in
commode any one.
The plans provide for three entrances, one
near the stamp window, one near the stairway
leading up to the money-order and registry
division, and one near the mailing division.

CHICAGO POLICE UNDER CHARGES
Accused of Stealing Property Belong
ing to Anarchist Lingg and Others.

Accused of Stealing Property Belong
ing to Anarchist Lingg and Others.
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.--Charges were last night
made, which, if true, the Times this morning
says, place the police officials who were
more prominent in the anarchist prosecution
in an unfavorable light The chief accuser is
the wife of Detective Loenstein, the officer who
captured Lingg and who was Captain Setback s
right-hand man in securing the evidence which
sent Lingg's comrades to the gallows. She al
leges that large quantities of property irTegu-
larry obtained from prisoners and thieves were
brought to her house by her husband with
Captain Schaack's knowledge and the proceeds
divided with him. Among the stuff were the
trinkets which Louis Lingg, the bOmbmaker,
bequeathed to his sweetheart, but which could
never be found. Mrs. Loenstein's allegations
are cOrrobOrated to considerable extent by
Mrs. Holl, president of the WOman's protec-
tive association, and Lawyer Kern, of Kern
Dwight, Mr.. Loenstein's attorneys. Part of
the plumber is now locked up in the vault of the
lawyers, and includes watches, silks and other
valuables, besides the Lingg keepsakes. The
accuser is under indictment for the attempted
killing of LOenstein. but she claims to have
been fired upon by HIM first in quarrel re-
sulting from her endeavors to cut loose from
the fence and make him do so also Her
motive in revealing the alleged job now. she
says, is because her husband, Captain Setback
and others are trying to destroy her reputa-
ton a wife in order to discredit her in case
the story of the fence should be brought up
during the trial.

IRREGULAR SUBDIVISIONS.
Surveyor Forsyth Explains His Action
in the West BroOkland Case.

The District Commissioners have received
from Mr.. VIM. Forsyth, surveyor of the District,
an explanation of his action respecting the
West Brookland subdivision. to which Capt.
Symons complained that Mr.. Forsyth had lent
his name, notwithstanding that the subdivision
did not comply with the requirements of law.
The surveyor in his letter says: ''Replying to
your communication, beg to state that when
the plat, enclosed, was brought to me to
examine and mark boundaries, the parties con-
cerned were specially notified that such plat
was not likely to be approved by the Commits
sioners, and could not be recorded here with
out it. They thought differently, however. and
insisted on having the work done which l
hardly supposed the surveyor could legally
refuse-the parties at the same time seeming
so confident of its final acceptance by the Com
misSioners. There was no intent on the part
OF the surveyor to in any way aid in evading
the act governing subdivisions. This plat,
L understood. was to be subject to
Your approval, and on very recent
inquiry as to its final disposition, was told it
was held up in the Commissioners Office l
did not understand and do not think it had
been rejected when brought to me. Its date
November, 18S8-was affixed when delivered
some weeks after. If, in the meantime. SINH
lar plat had been presented for approval | did
not know it. 1t must be plain to the Commits
been extremely unpleasant and scarcely just to
him, and he may be excused in calling atten-
ton to the fact that he has not until to-day
had specific instructions touching the act of
August. 1888, and that act in itself being INSULT
cient to effect its important and desirable OBJ
Ject, he earnestly asks-as heretofore sug-
gested verbally-that the earliest possible leg
lslation be had to make it in all respects
effective. l may perhaps here call attention to
your verbal order of some four months since
Through Secretary TindelD to hold up all sub
divisions filed prior to the act of August 1888,
and not actually committed to the books. These
piats still await your instruction. 1t has not
been the intention of the surveyor to place this
or any other plat on record without the APP
proval of the Commissioners, nor has he in this
or any other instance done So The law is new
and only requires exposition by the Commits
sioners. and adoption of rules by them, and
brought to his attention, and in all instances
they will be followed"
Attorney Riddle has given an opinion on the
suggestion of Capt. Symons that steps be taken
to restrain the sale of lots in West Brookland
under the proposed subdivision. Mr.. Riddle
says that piece of ground can be bought or
sold in any form the persons interested may de-
sire, and there is no way of restraining the sale.
He suggests, however, that the Commissioners
have power to prevent the erection of houses
on such irregular subdivisions.

REASONED FROM SLAVERY
''Last year 2s5 children were ransomed from
slavery, and last December one OF our fathers
ransomed thirty-six poor wretches for the PAL
try sum of $50. Did we possess the pecuniary
resources of the Protestant sects in Africa we
could redeem them in tens of thousands every
year. To provide the means OF livelihood for
all these children our fathers have lately es-
tablished twenty model-farms. or agricultural
schools wherein sS9 BOYS and pa girls are
trained 10 agriculture. We have also erected
AZ workshops. wherein 54l children now re-
ceivo an industrial training in all the mechan-
zeal arts. Thus then the total number Of chill
drcn trained in our yarions establishments
reaches 10000. Of whom 5000 have been ran
somed from slavery. To prevent our adult
Christians from reiapsing into barbarism and
idolatry We have established all through our
missions Christian villages, whcrin reign re-
ligion, good morals, love Of labor. thrift and
economy. Last year we established IS Chris
