BOOK AGENTS AND SHARKS.
How They Annoy the People About the Dis
trict Building.

Among the rules governing the District
building is one which prohibits canvassing in
any part of the building. The rule is
dead letter as far as its enforce
ment is concerned, and not a day passes
but the clerks are annoyed by book agents and
money lenders. This latter class are far in the
majority and ply their 10, 20, and sometimes
as high as 80 per cent loans on the
poor clerks. Recently the Commissioners
attention was called to this sharkism, but as yet
they have done nothing toward remedying
the evil. Another evil that should be cor
rected is the game these money
lenders practice on poor workmen
and witnesses from the Police Court The
failure of Congress to provide for disbursing
clerk makes 1t necessary to pay laborers en-
gagged in municipal improvements by check.
To cash check the paper must
be Endorsed. 1t is in this latter
requirement that the poor illiterate man who
cannot indOrse his check suffers The shark
signs for him and makes him pay for the labor
involved. The witnesses who receive S1.25
for testifying at the Police Court come
in droves to the auditors Office with
certificates for redemption. The sharks are
here again and buy them up at discount. 1t
is understood that the commissioners will shortly
issue an order correcting the existing state of
affairs.
In conversation with a STAR reporter this
morning Col. Robert said he was in favor of
stamping these nefarOus practices out. He
was strongly in favor of a disbursing clerk, and
said that "the poor laborers should not be re-
quired to lose a day in getting their pay, but
that a man should visit the works and pay them
in cash.

Chicken Thieves Arrested.

Lincoln Beach, a colored man, who lives near
GiesborO', and two other colored men-John
Church and Sam Contee-made a raid Thurs
day night on the hen house of Charles Wroe
and captured sixteen big fat chickens, and cut
ting the throats Of the fowls put them in bag
and between 3 and 4 O clock yesterday morning
returned to Beach's house, where the three
men and woman sat about preparing the
chickens for market. John Church had been
in fight few days before and tried to use
pistol Officers Anderson and MARI were look
ing for him to arrest him for that offense, and
that accounts for their early visit yesterday
morning to Beach's house, where they expected
to find him. Approaching the house cautiously
they peeped through the shutters and there
saw chicken feathers flying. The men were
placed under arrest. None of them had ever
been arrested before on a charge Of larceny,
but today they were brought before the Police
Court to answer such charge. Lawyer Moss,
their counsel, entered for them a plea of
guilty, and the court gave them thirty days
each for the larceny and fined Church $50 or
ninety days additional for carrying the pistol

POSTAL CLERKS ON STEAMERS.
Proposed Extension of the Railway Ma
Service Across the Ocean.

Proposed Extension of the Railway Mail
Service Across the Ocean.
G. A. Sachse, the director of the post and
telegraph department of the German empire,
was at the Post Office Department today dis
cussing with Postmaster General Wanamaker
and Mr.. Brooks, the chief of the foreign mails
service, the details of the proposed plan for
placing postal clerks on the ocean
steamers to distribute the mails. The
plan is simply the extension of the railway
mail service system to the ocean steamers.
Two clerks, representing the two governments,
will be on each outgoing and incoming steamer
in the German lines and during the voyage the
mails will be assorted and when the steamer
arrives the mail matter will be distributed for
the different cities that it can be at once
placed in the hands of carriers and
delivered. Congress has made an appropria-
ton to pay the salaries Of such clerks. There
will be thirty clerks appointed for this service,
one for each of the steamers on the two German
lines plying between New York and Hamburg
and Bremen. 1t il estimated that this plan
will effect great saving in time, not less than
twelve hours in the delivery of letters in New
York city.

A charter for the Pimlico Driving Club was
granted by the Maryland legislature March %,
1888. The club was never in active operation,
as the Maryland Agricultural and Mechanical
Association increased in membership to, such
an extent as to utilize Pimlico for racing pur-

A POST OFFICE SUGGESTION.
Care Should Be Taken in Addressing Chris
mas Mail Matter.

"At this season of the year," said Postmaster
Sherwood to a STAR reporter this morning,
when people are sending SO many packages
by mail, they are very likely to make mistakes
in addressing some of them unless they are more
than usually careful, and notwithstanding all
the care of the post office officials some Christ
mas presents will go astray. would like
to make suggestion that, judging by
the experience of past years, may save them
from finding their way to the dead letter Office.
1t is this Do not wait until day or two be-
fore Christmas to mail packages mail early;
wrap carefully and place the name initials
together with the address of the sender ON the
wrapper to insure return in case for any reason
it is not delivered to the person addressed.
Every misdirected letter or parcel would be
returned if the sender's address were only
given. Then again. when complaints are made
by receivers about delayed mail or failure to
receive we must have the envelopes or wrap
pers, with their postmarks, as evidence in
order to insure the case receiving any atten-
ton at ALL"

BIDS FOR NAVAL VESSELS,
But One Proposal for the Defense Ram
Two for the Torpedo Boats.


Two for the Torpedo Boats.
Bids were opened at the Navy Department at
noon today for the construction of a harbor
defense ram Of 2,050 tons displacement and a
torpedo boat similar to the Cushing of 112 TONS
There were but few bids received. The only
one for the ram was as follows:
The Bath iron works of Bath, Me-, for $3.50 900.
according to the plans and specifications of the
Secretary of the Navy, excepting the provision
that the ram is to be rejected if she fail to make
II knots an hour. 1t is probable that although
the price named is considereda fair one the bid
will be rejected because Of the exception.
The rams fate is now matter of conjecture.
Should the Secretary decide that she is neces-
sary she will be built at a navy yard. but it is
understood that there is a strong objection to
the craft among the bureaus of the department,
and as a result of today's bidding she may pos
sibly become one of the large number Of naval
ghosts never materialiZed.
The other bids were as follows: For the tor
pedo boat-from the Cowles Engineering Com
pany of Brooklyn for S1l9, $40. according to the
plans OF the bidder; from the Herreschoff Com
Pany OF Bristol, r. l., to build according to
the plans of tho bidder, 140 tons, for s125,O00,
and according to the plans Of the bidder, of a
smaller tonnage than the other, of about 112
tons, for $50, 200.
The Herreschoff company proposes a change
III iilc afiaI6cHent IN the engine rooms, max
ing two independent rooms instead of one, and
there is also plan for new system of venti-
lation.
The firm also proposes to leave to the govern
ment the question Of having one or two torpedo
tubes in the bow, but suggests two. 1t stipu-
lates that the premiums shall be raised from
81, 200 to 50 OO0 for each quarter knot above the
contract requirement..
The Bath company is one Of the late appear
ances in the field Of government naval work.
being the contractor for the two 1,0OO-ton gun
boats numbered and 6. 1t is thought at the
department that the firm deserves great credit
for its pluck in bidding on the ram. which is
an entirely new form of vessel. This is the es-
adjustment that was examined by Naval Con-
structor HichbOrn some onths ago.

The Asbury Church Suit Dismissed.

In the case of Charles H. Young ct al. against
Thomas p. Bell ct al. for an account and in
junction Judge Bradley has ordered the dismiss
sal Of the bill. This suit was brought to enjoin
defendants from acting as trustees of Asbury
Church, to which positions, it was charged,
defendants had elected themselves, and to COM
pei them to account for certain fund which it
was alleged they had appropriated to their own
use. The defendants denied the allegation, as
serted that they were legally elected by the
fourth quarterly conference in December,
1889, and denied all insinuations of dishonesty
or that they have purchased real estate with
out authority. They filed a demurrer, stating
that they are not accountable to the member
ship, but to the quarterly conference. The
argument was on the demurrer, Messrs. w. A.
Cook and A. b. Duvall for defendants and
Campbell Darlington and Irving Williamson
for compliments, and the bill was dismissed
with costs.

Seeking His Liberty.

A petition was filed by Messrs. Whitaker and
Provost for Stephen Fauldin today for writ
Of habeas corpus by which he seeks his dis
charge. He states that on February last no
was convicted Of larceny in three cases in the
Police Court and the judge convicted him and
sentenced him to imprisonment in Jail for $50
days in each case, making $40 days in ALL
He claims that these sentences are void;
and that he was improperly convicted, for he
was deprived Of his constitutional right Of trial
by jury.
