THE WORK OF FOOTBALLS,
Another Case Saturday Night-A Young Lady
the Victim.

AnOther Case saturday Night-A Young Lady
the Victim.
During the past two weeks several assaults
and robberies have been committed in this CITY
in addition to several burglaries and minor
thefts Footpads have operated to the annoy
ance Of the police and several of the burglaries
gave evidence of having been committed by
the same burglar. Such cases became SO nu-
merous that some of the police were sent out
in citizens clothes at night and instructed to
use extra diligence in their endeavor to sppre-
bend the criminals.
Saturday night another case of assault and
robbery by footpads occurred and the police
are making an investigation of the affair The
victim was Miss Annie Curtis, who lives at No.
e36 street southwest. She was on her way
home at the time. 1t was about 10 o'clock
when she reached the corner of 10th and b
streets and there she was met by q young colored
man, who knocked her down and took her
pocket book, containing $40. After securing
the pocket book the negro ran off. The police
were notified of the occurrence, but Miss Cur
It's thinks she would not be able to identify her
assailant.
The police have not vet arrested the man who
robbed MIR. Tourney about a week ago. Con-
corning Mr.. Journeys robbery the police state
that the victim not carried through the
Agricultural grounds, as has been printed, but
that he had just entered the southern end of
the park when he robbed by man who had
been walking along the street with him. The
park watchmen state that they we're about the
building at the time of the robbery, where the
electric lights Illuminated the grounds and walk
and made the place almost light as day.
They saw nothing of the robbery nor did they
hear anything of it, as Mr.. Tourney did not
make an outcry.

sion into center OF practical and scientific
teaching. The foreign museums are supported
by both national and private contributions,
while this one since first appropriation in

DEMANDS OF THE FARMERS.
They Want More Money and the Cover
ment to Take the Railroads.

They Want More Money and the Govern
ment to Take the Railroads.
The following demands we're adopted by tn,
National Farmers Alliance in session in Men,
phs:
Finance-We demand a national currency
safe, sound and flexible. issued by the govern.
ment only, full legal tender for all debts, pub
lie or private, and that without the use Of
banking corporations; just, equitable and ef.
fective means of distributing direct to the peo-
pie at a tax not 70 exceed per cent be pro-
vided as set forth by the subtreasury plank O.
the farmers alliance or some better system
also by payments in discharge OF its obligations
for public Improvement
a. We demand the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver and gold at the legal ratio of IL
to /.
b. We demand that the amount of the circu-
lating medium be increased to at least $50 pei
capita exclusive of legal reserves.
C. We demand a graduated income tax.
d. That our national legislation shall be SC
framed in the future not to build up one in
dustry at the expense of another.
e. We believe that the money of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the hands
of the people. and hence we demand all ma
tional and state revenue shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the government econom-
ically and honestly administered.
f. We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe de-
post of the earnings of the people and to facli-
tate exchanges.
Land-The lard, including all the natural re-
sources of wealth. Is the heritage of all the peo-
pie, and should not be monopolized for specu-
lative purposes, and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All lands now held by
railroads and other corporations in excess of
their actual needs and lands now owned by
aliens should now be reclaimed by the govern
ment and sold for actual settlers only.
neutrality-suspicious. being a
means Of exchange and public necessity the
government should own and operate the rail-
roads in the interest of tie people.
The telegraph and the telephone, like the
post-office system. being a necessity for the
transmission Of intelligence, should be owned
and operated by the government in the interest
of the people.
Among resolutions passed was one on the
temperance question. piedging the support of
the alliance so far as non-partisan organiza-
ton can lend aid to the suppression of liquor
drinking.
BOLT FROM THE CONVENTION.
The trouble in the alliance eliminated in a
bolt Friday and those opposed to the people 8
party captured the body, held caucus, and
concluded to form a new association, embody-
ing the doctrine of the alliance, but holding
aloof from politics.

THE ROCK CREEK PARK CASE.
A Decision Expected From the Supreme
Court Next Monday.

Decision Expected From the Supreme
Court Next Monday.
Next Monday tho Rock Creek Park case will
be heard in the United States Supreme Court.
and should the decision of the court be favor
able to the government the long and bitterly
contested legal fight will be at end with the
rendition Of the courts opinion, which will
probably be delivered either just before or
shortly after the holiday recess of the court.
The case, as it appears before the Supreme
Court, Is merely the appeal of the Shoemaker
estate from the decision of the District Court
in General Term, affirming the award Of the
commission as to the tracts owned by the estate.
Mrs. Truesdell also appealed, but subsequently
withdrew her appeal and accepted the award
made as to her land. There are three Ques-
tions to be answered by the Supreme Courts de-
cision-frst, the constitutionality Of the park
act; second, the sutfciency of the award as to
the value Of the land itself and third. the right
to compensation for the gold alleged to be OBJ
tainable. OF course, should the park act be
found by the court to be uncons titutionsl, that
would be an end to the whole controversy.
Such a finding, however. would not in any way
affect the right of the government to the land
already acquired, which means the greater part
OF the park as originally condemned: for
all such land is in the ownership of Uncle Sam,
and only Discrimination to longer hold ii could
oiepossess MIN OF what ne has already bought
and paid for. Should the act be found to be
constitutional, and Of that there appears to be
little If any doubt, and the question respecting
the awards as to the land or gold value, either
or both Of them, be decided adversely to the
government, another valuation would have to
be made.
Should decision favorable to the govern
ment be made the mandate of the court re-
moving the supersedeas would at once issue.
and upon Its receipt by the Court in General
Term the necessary order vesting the title in
the United States would Immediately follow.
Upon this being done the temporary park COM
mission would instantly turn the park over to
the permanent commission. the Commissioners
OF the District and the chief of engineers,
United States army. Until such decision as
will finally determine the rights Of the govern
ment in the contested tracts is rendered the
park will remain in the possession Of the tenn
porary commission. When. however, TIE per-
manent park commission takes possession Of
the park they will find themselves without any
funds whatever. and will be forced to ask for an
appropriation for the protection and mainte-
nance Of the park.

The Proposed Casino at Mondorf.


The government of Luxembourg has sent out
Q denial that it will allow gambling casino to
be erected at the summer resort, Mondorf.
Nevertheless Paris syndicate is known to be
still negotiating with the government as regards
the establishment Of such an institution and
strong influence has been brought by this syn
dictate to bear upon the Luxembourg chamber
The original offer for the concession was ap-
proximately $50, 900 francs, and this has been
raised recently to 4OO. 900, or more than one
half of the present income Of the Luxembourg
government As the government has been at
great expense to make Mondorf frst-class re-
sort, and IL not even obtaining the interest on
the capital thus invested there is strong senti-
ment in favor Of closing with the Paris COM
pany. The trades people of the grand duchy,
moreover, are unanimous in advocating the ac-
ceptance Of the offer, as the operation Of a
casino like that at Monte Carlo would give the
country . large and profitable floating popula-
ton Of tourists.

Inc uorOo&o service.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
From the health officers report, as published
in The STAR, l clip the following:
"While the contractor may have endeavored
to his utmost exertion to fulfill his contract and
to visit punctually every family embraced
within the service, yet, unless he meets with
corresponding attention from the inmates of
houses, he will be hampered in his work to the
extent Of such neglect"
After all the citizens have patiently endured
in this garbage business isn't this attempt to
saddle them with all the blame rather rubbing
it in?
also clip the following extract from the same
report:
"That this service is now in Q satisfactory
condition Is shown by the fact that scarcely any
complaints Of neglect on the part Of the col
lectors to present themselves are now made to
this office"
When the vigorous complaints that have ap-
peared in The star from time to time are con-
sidered it is hard to reconcile this statement
Of our health department with the facts in the
case. B. II. B.
