lin and the Lady Mayoress. A rerresen,
tative OF the United Press boarded

of Mavor Carter Harrison OF Chicago.
Lord Mayor Shanks, who is returning
from Chicago, where he had been the
Nj. Harr sons death aud remarked
st is too dreadful TO realize" Both the
Lord Mayor and Lady Mnyeress were
deeply affected by the intelligence. The
Lord Mayor, after a few minutes deep
though, paid a glowing tribute Go the
dead Mayors eeniaiity and hospitali-
ty. adding that the crime of the
murderer was a most horrible one.
He further said that ne sincerely APP

adopted by the municipal authorities of
Dublin.
Speaking of his visit to the United
States the Lord M yor asid:-"We had a
splendid reception. Unbounded hospi-

Referring to the directors banquet

In his remarks he called attention to
the fact that it would have been more
suitable to have included Ireland Ia
the toast TO Great Britain AVID her
colonies. for the reason that 1t was the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland. He did not complain because
Ireland was not represented by a sepa-

she had missed the opportunity of dis
playing her arts aud manufactures sepa

Union. He hoped that on another occa-

The Lord Mayor added:-"When I had
concluded Director General Davis

he was perfectly courteous and friendly,

Mistaken in the Man.
To the Editor of The Evening Star.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
While it is not a matter of any special
Importance l would say your reporter was
mistaken when he represented me as an
pearing before the Senate District COM
mttee today advocating the immediate an
preparation of money for use in grading
certain streets.
L was not at the Capitol at ALL and more
ever am not in favor of any such pre- ect
unless the bill shall provide that the money
shall be paid to residents OF the District
only and the work be done il the various
sections OF the District in fair proportion
If not thus limited the result Will be an
influx of laborers from the outside, who
as soon as the money is used up will be
left on our hands thus adding that many
more to be provided for at the public ex-
pense.
AS every person familiar with District
affairs knows, hundreds of the poor from
Maryland and Virginia flock into the Dis
trict every winter to live on the District
charities and fill the District hospitals, to
say nothing of the near 500 children who
come from the outside to our schools and
contribute nothing to their support.
Only a few weeks since were charac-
teriZed by a member of the House as "a
city of paupers," and we certainly do not
want to add to the number Of paupers now
here. W c. DODGE

Smith, jr.. as lessees, in possession of a GER
tain wharf near the foot of High street

had employed the schooner to come into the

that owing to the careless and negligent
conduct Of said lessees and of the condi-
ton OF the berth connected with the said
wharf, the schooner was loaded down upon

the said negligence the schooner had her

Reduced Pay.

Some of those who have employment will
barely be able to get the necessities of life
Witness this letter addressed to The Star
today from "One of the Trackmen."
1 think it is only right to draw public at
ten ton to the fact that the Baltimore and
Potomac railway has cut down the pay of
the section hands and track laborers to
SLIP ID per day. Those men, as every body
knows are the hardest worked employees in
the railway service. Their work is the
heaviest and most laborious and they have
to contend with all kinds of weather Their
pay before this cut was scarcely enough to
give their wives and families the neces-
saries OF life; now, after they pay house
rent they will have scarcely any thing LETT
The majority of those who suffer by this
cut are married men, some with large fam
lilies to support, and l think it is lust and
proper that public attention should be di-
rected TO this piece of fragrant injustice.
