'POSSUM IN TOWN

A Letter-Carrier Runs Down One With His
Bicycle.
The sportsmen of the District, and especially
the colored folks who swear by ''the good fat
possum," will be surprised to learn that the
animal is running at large in the western por-
ton of the city. About this time last year The
HERALD chroniced the fact that number of
'possums were discovered in the old Presbyte-
rian Cemetery, Georgetown Early in the
month Mr.. Fenwick Stewart, of 14OS street,
while returning from party, ran down fat
opossum on street, Georgetown, and on
Wednesday night last Letter-carrier Monroe,
while making his night collection trips, ran
oyer one on his bicycle on Twenty seventh
street, near Godey's lime kiln. The opossum
tried to get through the wheel and in doing so
broke some spokes. Mr.. Monroe killed the
animal with brick, and proudly carried his
trophy to the Post Office.

as a useless outrage and said that steps had been
taken for the prosecution Of the assailants.
The telegram was shown TO the President, and
a telegram was sent to Gen. Miles inquiring
whether or not the outrage was committed on
Government reservation and whether the assail-
ants are members of any State organization.
The object of this is to determine the question

Nothing contributes to mans peace of mind
and enables him to get through the world with
out friction more than the ability to take things
in the spirit in which they are offered. Senator
QUAY possesses this ability to considerable
extent, but still he was no doubt puzzled to
know in just what spirit to take the invitation
to Governor PATTIsoN's Inauguration which he
received the other day. 1t looked little like
mean Pennsylvania Democratic attempt to rub
it in on the Senator.

The Chilians are getting up a strong popular
movement to teach their President the Christian
virtue of resignation. The President does not
seem to be an apt pupil but probably he will
learn after a while. If it is the rule among Of

resign, it may be that President BALMAcEDA
will be one of the few who die

tion of Congress is the one introduced last ses-
sion by Mr.. SHIyELY, ''to compensate certain
enlisted men of the Signal Corps, United
States Army, for discharge from the military
service, and consequent loss of the benefit of
long service provided by law" These men, to
the number of two hundred, were legislated
out of the Army by the transfer of
the Signal Corps from the War to the

from five to twenty years, and those long

By the transfer they were cut off from this

The latest annex to the Farmers Alliance in
Kansas is the anti-eviction department. This
has begun business in the southwestern part of
the State, and its special duties consist in saw
ing the holders of mortgaged farms from the
legal consequences of their failure to pay inter
est on their Indebtedness The eviction of de-
lnquent debtors is prevented if possible, but
failing this, those who rent the farms from the
investment companies which foreclosed the
mortgages are made aware that it Will be unsafe
for them to remain on the premises. This is
almost precisely the state of affairs which has
prevailed for so many years in Ireland. 1t may
be good thing for the farmers who have bor-
rowed money and can't pay it back, either
interest or principal; but it will make it hard
for those who haven't borrowed money and
want to.

There was little interchange of words be-

tor Sanders, OF Montana, in the Senate on Fri
day, the true inwardness of which escaped most
people. When the Montana Senatorial contest
was up in the Senate last session Senators VOL
colt and Plumb refused to vote to seat the Re

naturally have not felt over kindly disposed

be confirmed in the Office for which the Presi-
dent had nominated him. Now, there is bitter
personal feeling between Senator Wolcott and
ex-senator Hill, and Senator Sanders, knowing
this, thought this was his chance to rub it in a
little on Wolcott. So Sanders askedi if Hill was
