What One Advertisement did


To the Editor of The EvenIng Star;
On the 9Th instant put an advertisements in
HE STAR for respectable. well-dressed Young
man 10 drive for a gentleman-to call at room
$40, National Hotel
would like to give you Q brief account Of
the results
The gentlemen in the Office OF the National
Hotel, who are all well known for their polite
ness, asked me in aehorus what they had done
TO me that should bring such a plague upon
them. and told me that the next Young man
that came in and asked for room $40 would be
turned over TO the bouncer of the establish
ment. The elevator boys came to my room
aud begged me to come down to the rotunda Of
the hotel, as they really could not stand Il any
longer.
told them not to send any more applicants
to my room. but to tell them that I had already
engaged young man. Even this, however
did not stop the avalanche. Applicants
used the stairs, and there was one contin-
uous knock at my door. i was obliged 70 leave
my room and take refuge in the lower part Of
the house. Even there L lodged from
the Office to the billiard rooms, from there &c
the barber shop and to other apartments; but
L could not escape the people who still kept
coming IN reply to the Advertisement 30 at last
took my hat and left the house in order to
get relief.
1 asked in my advertisement to have appii-
cants call between and pm. and IL and II
AIN. Inc next day was Sunday. and did not
suppose that would be bothered very much.
Imagine my surprise when, at about 1880 the
next morning, got down stairs in the Office. I
found three there ready to start in on me. I
came 10 the conclusion that every young man
IN Washington was after me. / need not tell
You that lett the house quickly as could
and did not return until the hour from ii TO IL
was well passed by. thank you very much,
pr have obtained through the advertisement
satisfactory young man, but the next time I
want a boy In Washington think l will have .
friend OF mine here advertise in The EVENING
STAR for me, ana do the hiring for me before
L reach the city. Yours respectfully,
JAS. b. MARTIN.

Large Daily Mortality.

The daily mortality continues very large,
with deaths from the grip and lung diseases
being largely in the majority. During the
twenty-four hours ending at noon today thirty
two deaths were reported to the health Office,
which is twice the daily average. Health OIL
Ger Hammett said to a STAR reporter that the
large number Of deaths did not show an unsan-
itary condition of the city. most OF them
were from diseases that would occur i'm any
climate, and many OF the decedents were old
persons. Burial permits were issued for the
following:

What the Health Onicer Says of House Bill
No. 1O9.
House bill No. l09. to prevent the sale Of
adulterated food in the District of Columbia
and the territories of the United States, was re-
Gently sent to the Commissioners for their re-
port and in turn submitted by them to Health
Officer Hammett for an expression Of his views
thereon. In reply to the same today he says
that so far az the District of Columbia is con-
cerned it has ordinances legalized by Con-
gress covering the subject matter contained
in the BILL though not with such
heavy penalties as contemplated in the
proposed act. There is law enough, but not
sufficient force to carry all OF their provisions
into effect Constant additions by legal enact
ment and orders from the governing powers of
the District to the duties imposed by the or
ganic act upon tho health department has rem
dered it impossible for the limited number of
employees allowed to enforce the laws in this
particular as they should be. An inspector of
dairy products and chemist of the department,
DR.. Hammett says, would be sufficient law to
protect this District of unwholesome food.

Mr.. Holman opposed the amendment he
said he was sure that if the committee on ap-
preparations believed that it would be benefi-
cial to the public service that the committee
on District of Columbia should have control OF
the appropriations for the District, that COM
mittee would very gladly assent to the propo-
sition of the gentleman from South Carolina
Speaking for myself, he said, I would consent
promptly to the proposition il public interests
would be promoted. do not know of any
reason why committee should seek
est would be benefited. think my friend
from South Carolina (Mr. Hemphill) labors
under a very serious mistake as to the effect Of
dividing up the appropriation bills. / want to
call the attention Of the House to the fact that
six years have elapsed since the division of the
appropriation bills occurred and were placed
under the control Of different committees hav-
ing charge Of the legislation for the different
departments.
1have statement before me that I think
win astonish my friend from South Carolina as
to the effect ON the appropriations by thus
taking away those bills from the committee on
appropriations, snd it shows the annual in
crea,e in the appropriations exclusive of pen
sions on per capita basis Of population then
and now. Since the appropriation bills have

been the enormous sum OF S29, lis, $40. That
takes in all the appropriation bills except pen
sions. In other words, in the six years-four

can rule, which Of course was the most extrava-

sixty-four millions Of increase, 40 compared
with the corresponding preceding period when
all the bills were under tho control of q single
committee. The reasons for this are very OBJ
vious. When all the bills were before single

for consideration.
The adoption of this resolution was opposed
by Mr.. Davis Of Wichita, Kan, who said that he
was there the representative Of the farming
interests. He made strong argument against
dealings in the future OF crops and claimed
that it was an injury to the farmer. Anything
which tended to offer in the market more Of an
article than was produced operated as an
injury to those whose livelihood depended on
the sale of this product. At infinite cost of
labor and the expenditure of money he raised
say 10. 600 bushels OF wheat. When he offered
that wheat IN Chicago some young men with $3.50
to cover his margin Will buy that wheat The
product of this young mans lungs il opposed
| to the product of his (the speaker's) toll He
went on to contrast the amounts of grain ham
died as reported in the stock markets of Chi
cago and New York and other markets as COM
pared with the actual product. In one day
New York had Sold he stated, two and q half
| times as much wheat it had received in two
years. He spoke Of these transactions as deal
| ings in fiat grain. Chicago, he said, handled
more grain ten years ago than it does today.
WHAT THE FIAT BROKERS' RECEIVE.
The speaker was frequently interrupted with
questions One statement made by the speaker
was that these fat brokers Of the country re-
ceived about five millions annually in commits
| sions. delegate suggested that AZ there are
on rough estimate about [, 900 brokers in the
| business it is fair to presume that they could
have earned more in some other business and
| that therefore they were not overpaid.
MIR. Davis having exhausted the time allotted
| to speakers was allowed an extension Of five
minutes to make up for the loss occasioned by
| the interruptions. He went on to argue that
| this dealing in the future of crops inju-
| rious to the farmer He objected to the In
justice of the custom of grading the crops in
| stead OF selling them by samples as was done
| with coal and other products There was need
| OF these transactions to bring the crops to the
| consumers He had been told that more money
had been put as margins in Chicago in one year
| than would be required to market the entire
crop.
Mr.. Lane Of Bradford, who said that be was
producer Of oil, gave in as his testimony that
the selling OF shorts had more to do with the
depression OF prices than any other cause. A
man who has nothing but wind goes in and
sells it and that fixes the prices. He depre-
Gated the amount of gambling in futures and
said that 1t was worse in its effect than the
Louisiana lottery.

The cave temple Of. Karli, India, is
rightly considered one Of the greatest
wonders of the world. This gigantic
recess in the mountain ledge has been
chiseled by human hands from porphyry
as hard as the hardest flint. The nave
is 1874 feet long, As feet broad and 40
feet from floor to ceiling Before the
entrance to the temple stands a monster
stone elephant, upon whose back is seat
ed a colossal goddess, all hewed from one
solid block of stone. Like the temple
walls and the outside ornaments, every
article of adorning sculpture on the in
side is hewed from the native rock.
There are aisles on each eide sep
arated from the nave by octagonal pill
lars of stone. The capital of each pillar
is crowned with two kneeling elephants,
on whose backs are seated two figures,
representing the divinities to whom the
temple is dedicated. These figures are
perfect and of beautiful features, as in
deed are all the representations of
deities and divinities in this peculiar
temple.
The responsiveness 50 characteristic of
modern Hindoo and Chinese pagodas is
here wholly wanting. Each figure is
true to life, or rather to art, there be-
ing no mythical half horse, half man OF
beast birds depicted in this underground
wonder of Karli. This wondrous under.
ground psgoda or cave temple has been
standing puzzle for the learned ar.
cheologists of both Europe and Asia fol
the last $500 years, and is as much Of
an enigma today as it was in the time Of
Confucius, Philadelphia Press.

A lady left some very precious first
editions of q book in three volumes in a
hanson while she went into a shop-a
risky thing in itself to do. When she
came out Of the shop she couldn't find
the hanson, which had been made to
move on by policeman, and in despair
took another, and just saved the train
which she had to catch at Charing
Cross. After waiting for an hour and
a half the cabman thought there was
something queer going on and endeav-
ored to find his fare, without success of
course. Then he looked inside the cab,
saw the books and some parcels, and
conveyed them all to Scotland Yard.
And here comes the pith of the story.
The lady applied the following day for
her precious books and got them. 1t
was suggested that she should pay a
certain quite adequate sum as recon-
pense to the cabman. But the lady was
Indignant. That sum, she averred, did
not in any degree represent the percent
age due on the enormous value of the
tones. They were worth something
stupendous. She mentioned what Quar-
itch valued them at. And quite cheer
fully she paid a sum that made a com
Portable nest egg for the cabman. She
also made the Scotland Yard official
understand something about books that
he hadn't a notion of before.-London
