himself greatly shocked at the news of the
second mail robbery within a month on the
New York ferry boats He has instructed the
second assistant postmaster general and the
chief post office inspector to proceed at once
to New York and take charge of the investiga-
tion and, IL necessary. to offer a large reward
for the detection of the robbers If 1t is found
that the mail wa,o drivers were Negligent
criminal action will be instituted, and If il Is

To the Editor Of The Evening Star
IL Is painful and shocking sight to the tree
lovers Of our beautiful city to see the de-
structive barbarism and vandalism now being
perpetrsted on ii street northwest, one of our
finest shaded streets hitherto. The trees. now
well grown, needed only a little intelligent and
conservative care In the pruning out Of suckers
and lower limbs, letting in air and light and
space beneath, carrying up the shade above
the houses by the line, long, central stems,
thinning out as much desirable but leaving
shade enough for protection during the intense
heat OF summer. For the fine effect of this
mode OF treatment witness any old New Eng
land city where the caHopied and lofty shade is
- thing Of beauty" advertising those towns
As most desirable retreats for wealth
and culture and greatly enhancing the
value Of property. Instead. behold our trees
dwarfed and polIed to the condition of mere
stumps under the senseless onslaught of igno-
rant negroes, who hate a tree as does an Arab.
the central stems cut off to afford proparation
for profrsion Of low-growing brush like
suckers. without symmetry or beauty. to the
obstruction of air and light and vision afford
ing harbors for injurious insects and in a few
years 20 succumb 20 such terrible injuries, to
the loss OF this generation. requiring all to be
done over again for another. Where is our
PARKING commission who gave these beauti-
full and valuable objects? Can it be that they
have &bdicated OF lack the interest to conserve
the beauty they created: II they lack the means
q least do not let destruction loose until
sonesn'ng eau De done. FLORA

Defective Chimneys,

To the Etitor of The Evening star:
have before called attention to the numerous
fires resulting from defective hues. Within the
past twelve months j have noticed in the city
press no less than thirteen such cases. OF course
the settling of walls may crack the walls of q
hue and render it dangerous; but most, if not
all, Of these are the result Of careless and de-
fective workmanship. IL the Law held the con-
tractors or vorkmen responsible for damages
resulting from defective dues in ell cases where
the defect cannot be shown to be due to subse-
quent settlement Of the walls. such cases would
soon cease TO be heard of. No brick fiue should
be built without being lined with terra Gotta
and If the round glazed pipe were used there
would be less joints in the pipe, the draft
would. be better and the SCOT would not
adhere to 1t near as much This is a matter
that requires the most careful attention of the
building inspector. CITIZEN.

They VIII stand Together ON the Platform of
Their Own Party.

The nine farmers alliance members Of the
House have issued card, in which they say:
40 correct an erroneous account which has
appeared in the public prints in reference to
dissensions in the ranks Of the alliance Con-
gressmen we make the following statement:
AT no meeting Of the alliance members Of
Congress was any motion or suggestion made
that they should join the democratic party or
cast their lot with it
The disagreement occurred because certain
of the alliance Congressman thought that the
contest should be made through the old parties
and others thought that independents political
action was necessary.
There has been no split between the peoples
party representatives. We are united now as
we were at the opening Of Congress. We each
believe that independent political action IL
necessary. We hold our conferences as We did
at the opening Of the session and they are har-
monious.
The only dissension that has come among
the alliance members came when we bad con-
ferenees with Congressman who adhere to old
party lines"

Reciprocity With Guatemala.

Don Antonio Batres, the Guatemalan min
lister, has informed the Secretary Of State that
he will return to Guatemala by the Pacific Mail
steamer which leaves New York on the 10th
instant and that he will use his best Offices to
secure the early approval by congress of the
reciprocity arrangements recently signed by
himself and Secretary Blaine on behalf of
Guatemala and the United States Mr.. Batres
has expressed the opinion that the Guatemalan
congress will certainly ratify the arrangements
regardless Of the result of tine presidential cleo
ton in that country, as the proposed CONNER
cial treaty would save his country over $500 900
. year in the single item of coffee. Minister
Batres will bring his family back with him.
They formerly resided in Washington and
have many friends here.

CAPT. sCHLEY's DESIRE
To sun Command the Baltimore and Take
Her to China

Capt schley has asked Secretary Tracy to
allow him to remain in command of the cruiser
Baltimore, and has intimated that he would
like to go to the China station with her. His
wishes will probably be gratifed, as there is
need for more ships on that station, where they
may be wanted at any moment on account of
the anti-mission riots which are liable to break
out
besides the Baltimore will be sent to China
soon and il is probable that the Yorktown and
Bennington will be selected for this duty, as
most of the trouble there is in the river towns,
where vessels Of the Baltimores size cannot 60
and where the smaller vessels have to be de-
pended upon.

Trad. Relation. With Ca,.d.

1t is said at the Department of State that no
formal arrangement has been made with the
Canadian authorities for a conference on the
subject Of increased trade relations between the
United States and Canada. but that if the latter
country sends a commission to Washington
to open negotiations to that end the matter
Will receive the consideration it deserves.

Making Haste Slowly.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Can you inform the public what has b<Dome
Of the commission appointed some three or
four years ago to codify the laws of the Dis
trict? The chairman Of the District committee
told the writer nearly two years ago that their
report was to be made In a few months, but
have never heard of il since. 1t seems time
something was done. CIIIzES.

would never use them, and rather shud-
ders when she hears them used; and yet
there is no law except the usage Of good
society forbidding US to exclaim, 81
want to know" or "Let me fix you some
lemonade" or 81 guess I'll have to go
now" One awful stumbling block in
this direction is the use Of this very
word 'tlady." An odious habit among
US Americans is using it as an address
instead of the French madame or the
English madam. The employees in
shops or stores, in hotels or ticket offices
and public vehicles constantly inquire
What will you have, LADY," or "Here's
your change, Lady, or Your street,
lady?" and have often been accosted
by well dressed and well meaning wom-
en- in the street with, "Will you tell me
where such and such a street is, ladyg'
or perhaps, "You are losing your veil,
lady"
Kindred to this fashion is that Of call
ing a girls fiance or admirer her gentle
man or her gentleman friend, and no
lady ever speaks of herself as lady, as
81 and another lady were going," ETC.,
instead of ga lady and were going"
l have spoken of salesladies and l
think the compound an absurd Ameri-
canism, but would not for a moment
go upon record as disparaging or belit-
ting that great class of young women
who serve in our shops. Very many of
them are as ladylike and far more useful
and TO be respected than their sisters
born to luxury and carefully trained
from the cradle into all the refnements
of life, but why is it not sufficient in
such position to be known as a woman,
a saleswoman if that is the proper
prefix?
If ! were to find it necessary to earn
my bread and butter by selling ribbons
or gloves or bonnets | should be neither
less nor more of lady than am now,
but would by no means allow myself
to be called saleslady | should say:
mo; | am woman doing womanly
work, and glory in it. | may be lady
also, but l do not need to insist upon
that view of the case"
A great deal more might be said on
this subject, but my paper has reached
its limits and must close with this one
word:
Cling to the good solid bone and mar
row of womanhood and don't drop it to
snatch at the delusive shadow of lady
hood. Mrs. FRANK LESLIE.
