DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.


1t looks today as if the Commissioners
would investigate the manner of awarding
the contract for furnishing the High School
Cadets with uniforms.
1t is understood that the contract for this
work has been given to Messrs. Ohm 4
Son of Baltimore for several years When
the time came around this year for fur
nishing the uniforms two local firms sub
mitted bids. The story OF the subsequent
actions of those in charge of the matter is
told in letter to the commissioners today
by Messrs Robinson. Cherry IL Company.
The letter stated that some weeks ago
when their representative called upon the
superintendent of the High School to find
out IL they would receive a bid from them
he said they were satisfied with the present
contractor, but reluctantly igreed to re-
ceiVe their proposal. Ohm x Sons repre-
sentative, they state, has a room in the
High School building as his permanent
headquarters for the taking of orders and
measuring of boys for uniforms. ON the
9th instant they were informed that the
contract had been awarded to Ohm d Son.
Knowing that the award of the contract
was irregular, they say, an advertisement
was inserted IN the daily papers to the eff
feet that they would make the suits for
any who preferred to buy them here and
many of the boys wished to do so, but were
told that they would not be permitted to
order from any one but the Baltimore firm
Nevertheless, Messrs Saks & Company of
this city were awarded the contract for the
caps; but the representative CT Ohm Il Son
Is allowed to take orders for caps from as
many boys as he can get.

For, as the name of the association In
dicates, bottles absorb a good deal of the
time and the thought of the members, and
it is on account of the growing Importance
of this great industry that state associa-
tions having been formed. and these latter
have united in organizing the national as
ISOLATION. This Is an organization that rep
resents a good deal of money, and 1T is ne
cessary that they should take measures to
look after their interests.
In most of the states there are laws
which recognize property in bottles. 50
that instead of using bottles without re-
gard to the name which may be blown up
on them, those who receive them consider
that they are species OF property that Is
to be turned over to the rightful owner.
1t Is the desire Of the bottlers that a ma
tional law should be enacted of this char
acter and to bring about such legislation is
one Of the main objects Of the national or

Illustrating this fact has recently come to
US.
A certain Irishman, having been chal-

his friends, who felt confident of his sue
cess. His antagonist, a lame man, walked
on crutches.
When the place for the shooting had been
reached, the lame mans seconds asked that
he be allowed to lean against a milestone
which happened to be there. The privilege
was allowed. and the lame man took his
stand
The Irishman and his seconds drew of to
the distance agreed upon-ten feet. Here
Pats courage suddenly failed him. and he
shouted to the lame man:
I've a small favor to ask OF ye sor"
What is it?'' asked the cripple.
Pat answered:
Il told We thot We might lean ag'in' the
milepost, and now 1 would like the privi-
iege OF leaning ag'in the next one"
