Washington Letter.
Sept. a, 1901

Sept. 4, 1891.
The President keeps in constant
touch with the business of all branch
es of the Government by having the
members of the Cabinet take turns
in visiting him at Cape May Point.
Secretary Rusk spent several days
with him this week and as soon as he
returned Washington Secretary Ira
cy paid him a visit. Mr.. Wana-
maker, who is now at his desk, spent
the greater part of his vacation as
neighbor of the President, as he is
the owner of a cottage at Cape May
Point.
Secretary Foster left to-day for
New York, whence he proposes TAX
ing short sea voyage upon friends
steam yacht. 1t has been said, but
not by him, that he would probably
make it convenient to cali upon Sec
rotary Blaine at Bar Harbor before
returning, and that he was the bear
er of confidential message from the
President to Mr.. Blaine, but this last
is probably nothing more than Cos
sip, as the understanding between
the President and Mr., Blaine is SO
explicit, according to my informa-
ton, which / am sure is correct, that
there can be no necessity for any
confidential message being ex-
changed between them. Before
leaving town, Secretary Foster ex-
tended the time indefinitely within
which the Al per cent. bonds, which
ceased to bear interest on the I'd inst.
may be extended at per cent. It
will probably be long time before
all of these bonds are heard from
but if every dollars worth of them
was presented for redemption to-day
they could be paid, and that without
seriously inconveniencing the Treas
ury department and it is probably
the knowledge of that fact which
prevents the holders of them from
being in hurry.
1t is now regarded at the depart
ment of State as certain that the
German market for American pork,
hams and bacon will shortly be open
without restriction. 1t has now been
nearly ten years since Germany prac-
tically closed her markets to these
American products and her example
was speedily followed by Australia
and other smaller European powers
thus shutting out American hog
growers from markets in which The
trade would probably average from

Three Miles of Boxes Full Of Bank
Notes.

Bank of England notes are never
reissued, but when in for gold are at
once cancelled. They are then pre-
served for seven years, so that in
quiries relative to forgeries or frauds
on which the notes may throw light,
may be answered.
The stock of paid notes for seven
years numbers o4,ooo,ooo and fills
1900 boxes, which, if placed side by
side, would reach three miles. Pile
the notes one on the other and the
pile would be eight miles high. Join
them end to end and you will have
a ribbon 1900 miles long.
Arrange them side by side and
you may more than cover Hyde Park
with them. Finally their original
value was over $1,000, 900, 900 sterl-
ing, and their weight more than 112
tons.

About the Nails.

A white mark on the nail bespeaks
misfortune.
Pale or lead-colored nails indicate
melancholy people.
Broad nails indicate gentle,
timid and bashful nature.
Lovers of knowledge and liberal
sentiment have round nails.
People with narrow nails are am
bilious and quarrelsome.
Small nails indicate littleness of
mind, obstinacy and conceit.
Choleric, martial men, delighting
in war, have red and spotted nails.
Nails growing into the flesh at the
points and sides indicate luxurious
tastes.
People with very pale nails are
subject to much inhrmity of the flesh
and persecution by neighbors and
friends.

preside in the millions of happy, free
and independent homes all over thi:
broad land.
No better measures can be con.
ceived to allay all the causes, and al
the elements of that unrest, discon-
tent: anarchy, and corruption which
exists in the large cities. If they
did not disappear altogether, they
would certainly be rendered harmless
for generations to come.
After the conclusion of ex- Senator
Doolittle's speech S. Y. Brande of
this city, was introduced and for an
hour he held the attention of every
one who could get near enough.
His speech was replete with interest
ling points and was very much ap-
preciated.
Rev. Mr.. Corey followed Mr..
Brande in short, pointed address
that impressed the audience very
much. He said a million of things
in very few words. About four
o'clock the people began starting for
home and in an hour the crowd was
very much thinned out Still dane
ing was engaged in until late in the
evening.
Among the old settlers present
were Mr.. and Mrs. MINIS, who
are both over eighty years of age,
and who have attended every meet
ing of the old settlers since its or
ganization at Wilmot Sept 80, 1877,
when H. S. Thorp was elected Presi-
dent; Joshua WILDER, vice-president;
Ward Benedict, secretary; Edward
Munson, treasurer.
Peter c. Van Alstine, another
prominent parsonage among the
early settlers, was also there shaking
hands with friends of the earlier
period.
-Four years ago the late H. B.
Hinsdale, deceased, met D. B. Ben
edict, who was then. secretary of the
club, and presented him with por-
trait Of himself that he had just re-
ceived from the photographer, and
added, "Now, Dan, | want you to
keep that among the old settlers be-
longings and preserve it as por-
trait of an old settler" Mr.. Bene-
dict accepted it and as he walked
home that evening a new idea had
struck him. He considered what
good would result from preserving
the portrait of every member of the
club and took advantage of the first
favorable opportunity to spring the
project. 1t seemed to take hold of
the old people in peculiarly favor
able manner and now the society
boasts of over 200 portraits of the
old settlers of the county. We have
Mr.. Benedict, the originator of the
project, to thank for this feature, as
we'll as Mr.. La Marsh, who takes the
picture of an old settler free.
There is a move on foot to move
the place of holding the meetings to
more central location and we think
it is a good one. Hon. E. G. Timme
suggests Silver Lake as a most beau
tiful and convenient place to hold
the meetings. A communication ap-
pears in another column and the
able article should be read by any
one who is interested in the general
success of the Old Settlers Club of
Kenosha county. The old officers
hold over for another year.

| SIS, ooo,ooo to 10000, 900 per year.
From the day that the present adj
ministratlon came into power every
energy has been strained to get these
markets back again, and now that
success is i'll sight the members of
the administration very naturally
feel pleased and proud. It is espec-
tally a great thing for the farmers Of
Iowa, Illinois. Ohio, Missouri, Indi-
ana, Kansas. Nebraska and Wiscon-
sin, who produce in round figures
more than one-half of the hogs, in
value, i'll the United States, and who
furnish much larger proportion Of
the hog products for export. And
this comes at good time, for the
enormous corn crop of the present
year, means that the farmers will
have big surplus of meat products
for export.
The talk about the possibility of
President Polk OF the Farmers Ali
ance having to fight duel with an
abusive North Carolina editor, has
reminded many people of how Sena-
tor Blair, when personally attacked
in speech in the Senate, by Senator
Butler, of South Carolina, stated in
language not to be misunderstood,
that while he disapproved of duel
ling he should nevertheless consider
it his duty to fight should he be
challenged. He wasn't challenged,
nor was he again attacked by any
fiery Southern Senator. Polk might
draw profitable lesson from Mr..
Blair's experience.
There is no one at present in
Washington who can authoritatively
deny or affirm the rumor that Civil
Service Commissioner Roosevelt has
resigned as he is away and if he has
resigned the resignation had to be
sent directly to the President who is
at Cape May Point. There is rea-
son. however, to believe that the ru-
NOR originated from statement of
Mr.. Roosevelt to friend some time
ago to the effect that he intended
resigning before the Presidential
campaign opened as he proposed
taking an active part in that contest,
and he would not feel at liberty to
do so while Civil Service Commits
sioner. Owing to the fact that Mr..
Roosevelt has been discussing with
his colleagues upon the board GER
tain work of the commission during
the coming winter it is not believed
that ne will resign before next Spring.
Secretary Proctor has written a
letter to the Governor of Vermont
accepting the appointment rendered
him to serve the unexpired term OF
Senator Edmunds in the u. S. Sen
ate. His appointment as Senator
will take effect November I, the date
of Mr.. Edmund's resignation, and it
is presumed that he will on the last
day of October retire from the cabi-
net, although there is possibility
that he may do so sooner.

WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT THE TRANSFER
1T was just this factiousness that brought
about the final transfer of he tracks on Water
street to the Baltimore and Ohio. 1 was
opposed all along to selling our tracks to any
one road Ny desire was to have all the roads
come into Georgetown in this way.
believe that this could have been done in time
and 1t would have been Of immensely more
value to the place than any one single road.
Ii would have been sort OF union freight
station for all the roads. The Pennsylvania
railroad. which seems to have been badly left
in this deal has posscssion of the old canal from
Alexandria up on thsother side of the Potomac
and by running road along the bed of this
Snd bridging or barging across the river they
would have had a capital outlet 10 tho south.
As it is now Georgetown will only
have the one road instead of num-
Der. and they will reap none Of the advantages
that would accrue from active competition.
The Baltimore aud Ohio people will be in
position to dictate their own terms, and they can
put up their freight charges for Georgetown peo-
pie on material from the west, say to just about
the figure to which the regular freight charges
to the other freight depot would come when
the cost Of carhge across 10 Georgetown Is
added. and they are likely TO do that very sort
of thing. too.
As said. fought hard against the propo-
sition to sell out to the u. and O.. for as a per-
son interested in Georgetown property ] WAS
anxious to see some arrangement made by
which all the roads might come in on q
parity Now l am glad to have the
opportunity to say that IL was only the fear
that the people Of Georgetown would succeed
in their efforts to have tine Barge Companv's
charter repealed that induced me to agree TO
selling out to one road. an act that will have
the effect Of keeping out all other roads for all
time
