Why the House Has Not Been Purchased

Why the House Has Not Been Purchased.
1t Is well known that efforts were recently
made by the Newsboys' and Children's Aid So
ciety to purchase a building for its growing
needs. The sum necessary for the first pay
ment was generously subscribed by friends of
the society. and the purchase Of the house No.
80 street northwest WAS arranged for and
about to be completed when the title was found
to be defective. 1t is thought to be due to all
who contributed to this payment that this pub
lie explanation be made to the delay in the
purchase. The society now occupies the E
street house-but Us tenants rather than own
ers-pending the efforts put forth to secure a
clear title. 1t is earnestly hoped that the pur-
chase may be effected during the summer or
early autumn.

The Presidents Reply to Protest Against
DIR. Hamnett's Appointment.

III. appointment
Messrs. Philip N. Twyer and c. H. Parker of
the South Washington Republican Association
have made public . letter they recently adj
dressed &c the President protesting on political
grounds against the appointment of Dr. c. NJ
Hamme.t as health officer of the District and
the Presidents reply. Messrs Dwyer and
Parker visited the Commissioners Office and
examined DR.. Hammett's Endorsements after it
was first announced that he had been chosen
FOR the office, but it is stated held back their
material when DR.. ReySurn's appointment
was announced. After the Commissioners
reaffirmed their first action appointing DR..
Hammett, they, under date Of July 16 wrote
to the President. After recting the circum-
stances attending DIR. Hammetts appointment
and the action of the Commissioners in reap
pointing Dr. Hammett lin face" they saw ..of
strong protest from many republicans" they
allege that Commissioner Douglass has on sew
erai occasions stated that politics did not en-
ter into consideration when District offices
were to be filled
To show, they say. that DR.. Hammett thought
differently during MIR. Clevelands administers
ton they quote from a few letters filed with DR..
Hammett application. There letters from
democratic members of Congress urging Dr.
Hammetts appointment because he was a
democrat.
They close their letter az follows: HAS the
IepuDilcan party 80 degenerated that 1t cannot
nnd one OF Its members competent to fill the
position OF heath officer of this District and is
forced to enter its enemy camp and request
assistance in running the government? 1t is
an insult to the republican party at large.
Men honestly fight that the party may secure
the reins OF the government, that it may be
run on republican principles, only to see the
opposite side placed in power. 1t is a physical
lmpossibility for any one to be good demo-
crat and good republican at the same time,
and as DR.. Hammett has proclaimed that he is
democrat OF the old school it would be foolish
to expect him to consider the success of the
republican party in performing the duties of
his office.
III the reason given and the above letters
were good medicine during Cleveland's admin
istration think they should hold good now
and believe in republicans for positions under
your administration. The party expec. it of
youi administration, it is entitled to it. and
there Ii nc question Of the fact that the health
officer should be republican Oh the same
grounds that you were elected President Of the
United States and do not doubt tor a mo-
ment but that YOU will call halt and see tina.
justice is done. The party will not be sup
ported II such appointments allowed to
stand and with such men Mr.. Douglass in
the position he now holds. The grand finale
TO the whole business should be the decapits-
tion Of Commissioner Douglass and the ap-
pointing of a republican president Of the
board OF Commissioners and a republican
health officer"

Expensive Saving.

Household expenses have risen nearly
so per cent. within q month, and men of
family are distracted. 1t all comes of g
feminine new fad-the mania for saving
ten cent pieces. When wife mentions
to her husband casually the fact that all
her friends are saving ten cent pieces,
and that she thinks she will save thena
also, the husband rather commends than
discourages the experiment. Fool. Little
does he wot the result OF his thoughtless
words Wherever the wife goes she asks
for dimes. Handing q five dollar bill to
the butcher to pay for Il dollars worth
pieces as possible, please. The butcher
knows enough to oblige her. He gives
her forty dimes. By Wednesday of each
week the usual stipend for housekeeping
has gone, and more money must be sup
piled But every box in the bureau is
bursting with dimes.-New York Sun.
