A Prosperous Bank.

The firm of Woods & Co., organized for
general banking business less than year ago
at 1106 street, has met with a success that
must he gratifying to the enterprising and
public-spirited members of the firm and their
host of friends. A SUNDAY HERALD reporter
met Mr.. III. 7. Woods the junior member, and
asked him what he thought of the business
and financial outlook in the District. Said he
in effect: "Well, L think the prospect is
bright for the near future. judge from the
large deposits made by real estate men that
their business will be booming. In fact, there
is great activity in real estate matters even
now. Our bank resolved to take in small de-
posits, from 50 upward, and we find that it
works admirably. Many persons of slender
means do not make use of the banks to keep
their savings, because they cannot put in any
considerable amount at time. But with
small amounts taken, young men and others
find that they save money which would other
wise be spent, and it soon mounts up to a
good figure. This is good for the young
men and good for the bank. Yes, our busi-
ness increases Weekly.n

Desirable Cottage Homes.

Since the subdivision of Brightwood Park
was made and the lots placed upon the market
by Messrs. Heron & Ramey, 1907 street,
large number of the lots have been disposed
of at favorable rates to the owners and the
purchasers. Said Mr.. Ramey to the reporter:
"We have met with most gratifying success
in the disposal of the lots in Brightwood
Park. But we figured on that from the first,
as we intended to offer advantages that are
not possessed by any other subdivision in the
suburbs. By reference to our advertisement
it will be discovered that apart from the
natural advantages of position the social and
to be acquired conditions of the park as to
drainage, supply of gas and water, and so on,
we have offered the lots ON terms that are
within the reach of those of slender means.
There is no better chance to acquire a desra-
BILE cottage home without difficulty or strain
upon means. AS l said, the lots are fast
being disposed of, and now is the time to
purchase, for with the activity of building
that will soon characterize the park, prices
must adYancen

THE FORCE BILL NOT DEAD.

Senator Faulkner Comedies With Sena-
tor Gorman's Views.
Senator German is not the only Democrat
who believes the Force bill, which the Repub-
licans tried so hard to pass in the last Con-
gress, will be brought up again. Senator
Faulkner, OF West Virginia, who was Senator
Gorman's most active lieutenant in the
famous fight the Democrats made against the
Force bill in the Senate, was in the city for a
short time during the week. To representa-
tive of THE SUNDAY HERALD he said: "Some
Democratic papers have shown an inclination
to deprecate and make light of Senator Cor
mans declaration that the Force bill is still
living issue. But Senator German knew what
he was talking about. The Force bill is not
yet dead. 1t will be revived just as soon as
the Republicans see chance to pass it. If
by any means next year the Republicans
should again gain control of both branches of
Congress and elect President, one of the
first things they will try to do will be to pass
a Force bill. They have not given up the
idea by any means. They feel it is their sole
chance of retaining their hold on power much
longer, and they will not pause to consider the
effect on the business interests or social con-
ditions of the South if they see means of
keeping themselves in office"

A HERALD reporter called the attention OF
superintendent Worth, of the Fish Commits
sion, to the fact that the gill-netters, pound
netters, and seinemen had filled the river
within the District lines with their implements
of carnage since May 81, and had snapped
their fingers derisively in the face of Commo-
dore Sutton and his formidable gunboat, the
Joe Blackburn, when he ordered them to take
up their nets and cease fishing in District
waters. Said Mr. Worth: "Yes, | saw that
statement in the daily papers 1t is wonder
to me that men who are almost dependent on
the annual run of shad and herring for their
living should be so short-sghted. Some of
them say they spread their nets for sturgeon
only, but that is mere subterfuge; for the
sturgeon noses along the bottom, and is caught
usually otherwise than with nets. In fact, the
ordinary nets would be torn all to pieces by
the struggles of four-foot sturgeon. AT the
last session of Congress the authorities of the
Fish Commission and others interested pre-
sented bill to Congress to extend the close
season for netting and seining in the waters of
the Potomac within the boundaries of the
District TO June Is, instead of May 81. Chair
man Hcmphill, of the House committee re-
ported the bill fayorably and it was passed,
but owing to press of business and the de
bate on the Force bill it died in the Senate"
"Do you think that the run of fish begins
earlier now and continues later than in former
years ~
II have only been in charge here for four
years, and can give no opinion as to the be
ginning Of the run, but / am very sure that
the run continues later in the season than it
nsed TO do. / can give no reasons for it,
This year there were few herring and shad
caught in the Potomac as early as February
Is. recollect one year. 1888 think it was,
when the northwest winds and the low
temperature kept back the run until nearly the
middle Of March. And then it was poor
rum
''How does the quantity and quality of fish
compare this year with that of former years %
'Splendidly. The prices at which prime
shad and herring are sold in the markets prove
that. The fish are as large, as fat and luscious
as ever before in the history of the river, and
the prices charged placed them within the
reach of the poorest 1 don't know that the
incessant seining and netting now going on
viii have any appreciable effect on the run of
next year, as nearly all the fish had gone up
TO their spawning grounds before May 81,
but all the same | would like to see the close
time extended at least to June Is. Congress
will be urgently importuned next session TO
make the extension"

Am Evening at Holy CROSS Academy.

An Evening at Holy Cross Academy.
The hall of HolyCross Academy was thronged
last evening, to witness an interesting enter
tainment given by the little misses of the junior
and minm departments. The programme was
carried out to perfection. The entertainment
began with double duet, tCaprice di Concert"
after which the juniors in clear voices sang the
sold Home Down on the Farm" The baby
banjoists, May Trainer and Katie Tourney,
were remarkably clever. The French dialogue
and recitation were much admired by
those familiar with French, and were
listened to with marked attention, as
was also the recitation of Eleanor
q. Donnelly poem, 'Pippo's Vislon," by Miss
Nellie Tourney. The elocutionary contest
was most effective it was humorous repre-
sentation of an elocution class made up of the
minims, whose teacher, Miss Evelyn Sickles,
explained her method of teaching elocution,
and her pupils showed how practical were her
efforts in training them. The little members
OF her class did remarkably well. The Juniors
invited the audience to return to the early
days when the Union numbered but "Thir-
teen Original States.'' Miss b. Burns made
beautiful Martha Washington, at the same
time representing Virginia. The music
throughout elected warm praise AS the
programme ended earnest words of commen-
dation showed that general satisfaction was
given by the young performers A visit to
the parlor convinced every admirer of art that
there is decided talent among the pupils.
