YOUNG PEOPLE
LIKEWISE THEIR SISTERS AND THEIR
COUSINS AND THEIR AUNTS.
They Want the Title of ''Most Popular
and the Handsome Souvenir That Goes
With It-More New Candidates on the
List.

All the boys and girls in town and their
grown-up sisters and their cousins and their
aunts are developing an extraordinary interest
in The HERALD's method of ascertainipg who
among them best deserves the proud title of the
most popular boy or girl in Washington. 1t
may be that the desire to be known by the
title referred to does not appeal so strongly to
the sentiments of the young people as the hope
OF gaining the handsome and valuable gift
which The HERALD means to award to the
one who proves to have the largest number of
friends, as shown by the balloting.
The syoung people are getting thoroughly
interested, anyway, and as natural conse-
quence SO are their elders. This is shown not
only by the number of votes which are coming
in from day to day, but by the many letters of
inquiry regarding the conditions of the contest
which are received. The display advertisement,
which is printed each Sunday in THE HERALD,
and which to-day may be found on the eleventh
page, answers fully all these questions. The
conditions are plain and simple and can be un-
derstood by any one who reads them carefully.
During the past week the friends of six ad-
d1tlonal young persons have placed their names
on the list of candidates and each of them starts
out with handsome array of votes The total
number of names entered up to date is twenty
five and they will be found printed below in
the order in which they stand in the baloting.
The beautiful turnout, consisting of pair of
ponies and an elegant surry, which is the gift
the HERALD offers to the boy or girl who re-
ceives the highest number of votes, is not yet
quite ready for exhibition, but it will be in
short time, and The HERALD promises that all
will be delighted with it.

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Hancock Command Gives It's Friends a
Delightful Evening.

w. S. Hancock Command No. gave on
Friday evening the first of a series of entertain
ments provided for the winter. g. A. r. Hall
was packed with an appreciative and elegantly
dressed audience, friends of the Union. The
orchestra rendered the army songs, bugle calls,
and familiar refrains of war times, the sur
geon's call not being forgotten, but no sick and
lazy soldiers responded. The opening address,
by John Finn, colonel commanding, was de-
livered in happy manner followed by singing
by the .. V. U. quartette. The recitations, by
Comrades George B. Fleming, Dinsmore,
Daley, and Southwick, and Miss Cassie Sibley
were loudly applauded. Vocal and piano solos,
by Miss Carrie Brookfield and Mrs. Phillips
were eDcored. A comic song, by Charles S.West,
brought the audience to their feet. He was called
fourth time to the platform. Little thirteen
yearold Nora Torrens sang ''The Song That
Touched My Heart' beautifully for one so
young, and as an encore gave "Marguerette,''
accompanied on the piano by Miss May Lewis
The drill, by Carbewy Cadets, consisting of
fourteen young ladies, was perfect. This drill
squad, and the drill master, Chester MCGOWAN,
deserve great praise. The young ladies are
Sallie Fleninken captain; Alberta Larman, first
lieutenant; Irene Buck second lieutenant;
Lottie Bullion, Marie A. Dillon, Grace Martin,
Maggie Carmody, Marion Carter, Mamie
Hughes, and Edith Tappan.
The presentation by Past Commander-in-
Chief M. A. Dillon of the button badge of
honorary membership to the ladies and gen
tlemen who had won them by selling twenty
five tickets, and comforting on them the homo
rary degree before public audience was

full, The names of the lucky persons were
Misses Mary L. Clements, Nora Torrens, Agnes
b. Dillon, Matte Foos, Marie Gussie Dillon,
Cassie Sibley, Mrs, NJ, c. Rice Mrs. d. Ford,
John A. Burger, and Joseph f. Torrens. After
this followed the dance, in which about seventy
five couples took part, ending at O'Clock. The
command realized handsome sum for its de-
pleted relief fund. Mrs. Gen. Hancock sent
the command handsome present in the shape
of a bank check, last Wednesday. A vote of
thanks was given her, and she was made an
honorary member, being the first made in the
District of Columbia in the U. Y. U.

allied by the shareholders, has further demon
strated that the Equitable is a practical and
successful cooperative saving and loaning
institution.
''rhe regularity of saving the same amount
each month by large numbers, with fair profits
inurihg, as practiced in this Association. is, we
believe, the great factor in successful co6pera-

sit has caused thousands of people to save
and accumulate in this Association, and thereby
lay foundation for ultimately securing homes,
who otherwise would not have improved their
condition.
''The receipts during the past twelve months
have been $1,06l ,055,34, being $107, ,01460 more
than the preceding year. and the total receipts
have been $5,S7S, 1872 40. Including the 10Th
ssue, 47,699 shares have been taken by the
members. The 10Th or May issue was 1000
shares, which is 400 in excess of any previous
subscription. Advances or loans to the share
holders have been So, ,656,S00. The net earnings
have been 1864, ,07709, of which $4,000 has
been paid on shares redeemed. In eleven years,
involving the large transaction given above, the
Equitable has not sustained the loss of one
dollar, and has foreclosed but one mortgage.

notice OF a forfeiture Of the stock held by those
who have failed to pay their assessments, and

The panic in Washington and Georgetown
and Metropolitan Railroad stock which began
fortnight ago seems to be holding on with a
persistent pertinacity positively painful to those
who bought last spring, or, having some, re-
fused to part with it at the high prices then
prevailing. 1t affords, too, the "I-told- you-so"
class of people pleasant and favorable oppor-
tunity of reminding the then enthusiastic be-
levers In it that their predictions were not
wholly wrong, or their advice to sell was not
entirely groundless. ''Comng events cast
their shadows BEFORE" and there seems to be a
feeling that the lend is not yet" and that a
still lower range of prices may be expected.
If "what goes up must come down." to quote
a school-bCy phrase there is much room for the
drop.
AS this veracious chronicler stated last Sun
day, the surplus of the Columbia Fire Insurance
Company having reached an amount equal to
their capital, the generally understood and ac-
cepted idea that the residue as made would be
distributed among the stockholders might be
expected to shortly begin. AT the meeting of
the directors on Monday last this idea was car

dend from per cent. to g, or 30 cents per
share as against 20 heretofore, but instead of
having strengthening effect on the stock, as
was generally predicted the sales show loss
from previous figures. At the increased rate 1t
pays 3 per cent. on basis of $50 per share or
just one-half the return made on Graphophone
at same price.
The West End Bank, having found that their
location was hardly good enough to sustain an
enterprise of that character, have purchased
the building No. 1415 G street, and as soon as
it can be fitted to their needs will move in. 1t
is stated that the price paid equaled $23 per
foot, including the improvements.

1t is learned that gentleman who year ago
was an enthusiastic purchaser of Washington
Loan and Trust stock, paying in most cases a
premium OF 25 cents per share and buying sew
eral thousand shares, has finally laid down his
hand and passed out with loss of about thir-
teen hundred dollars, closing out his entire
holdings at 4S0 per share. With commend
able philosophy he pockets his loss and cheer

1t is reported that such of the 5000, 900 worth
of the stock of the Washington Loan and Trust
that yet remains to make up their capital to

be taken up by them will be taken by syndi-

Autumn Attractions Along the Wash
ington ana Ohio Railroad i'm Vir-
ginia.
The summer patrons have returned to the
city from their country homes along the Wash
ington and Ohio Railroad and the fall travel
takes their place. The hunting and fishing this
season is far ahead of anything known before
for years in this region. The Washington
hunters are numerous, and the same parties
with their friends return every year, SO encour-
aging do they find the rabbit, squirrel, and quail
shooting and bass fishing. The patronage has
increased so rapidly that the extra train, put on
for few months only, will remain all winter.
"Y" is contemplated at Leesburg or Smiths
switch in order to run new late trains as far up
as possible and so enable mechanics to do a
days work in Washington or Alexandria and
return to their homes each night Under the
excellent management of the Richmond and
Danyille system this road is fast rvalng the
best roads of the country, and the increased
patronage and growth of villages along its
route indicate that the public appreciate the
fact.
