RIDERS CASTLE.
A Building Said to BE in an Unsanitary
Condition.

Gen. Birney appeared in the Police Court
today and asked for a continuance in the
case Of George F. Rider, charged with a
violation of the health ordinances. In ask
ing for q continuance Gen. Birney said he
wanted to be advised Of the nature of the
nuisance in order to have it abated If pos
sible.
The building in question is situated on
New Jersey avenue near the sixth precinct
station and Is known as Riders Castle"
Health Inspector Shepherd said he was
satisfied that Mr.; Rider would not make the
improvements. The sewer connections about
the place, he said, were all bad and the
outlets exposed. He thought it singular
that the place had not spread some con-
tagious disease. The building, he also said,
Judge Miller said that the city was being
cleaned up in other respects, and certainly
such places as the one charged will not be
permitted to rest. The court hoped that
there would be no visit of the cholera or
other contagious disease here this summer,
ana one way to prevent 1t Is the enforce
ment Of the health laws. This the court
intends to do.
The case went over until Saturday.
In the meanwhile counsel said he would
make inquiries and see II the building could
not be put in good sanitary condition.

there Is not enough on hand to make a re-
spectable looking plow. The work Is being
done for the Daughters of the Revolution

cense, after being out one hour and forty
to agree and were discharged. it being
understood that they stood eleven to one
for acquittal. Helmuth kee.s a store at
the junction of Spring street and Rock
Creek road, and the testimony of the prose-
cutton tended to show that he kept beer
and whisky on his premises and that the
officers had found drunken old soldiers upon
his place. For the defense II was testified
that Helmuth kept the LIQUOR for his own
use and that none was sold by him. The
case will probably be heard again on Thurs

WOULDN'T REFUSE AID.
The Duke of veragua Would Graciousl!
Accept American Dollars


Thomas w. Palmer, president of the
worlds fair national committee, says that
letters of recent date from the Duke Of
Veragua since his return to Madrid show
that his financial affairs are in as deplora-
BILE condition as was feared before his
departure from Chicago.
When asked whether he thought the duke
might consider it an insult to his dignity
to have financial aid proffered him by his
American friends. Mr.. Palmer laughed, re-
marking: 81 don't believe there is a man
In America or Europe who would refuse to
be pulled out of a hole, and / assure you
emphatically that while the duke Is not
begging, he and his family will receive any
assistance from the American people as
graceful tribute"
Regarding the 5000 story, Mr.. Palmer
says 1t Is without foundation, as the ex-
treme limit of the possible pension would
be 1850. Mr.. Palmer says that Mrs. Pal
mer Is as much interested as himself on the
subject. and Immediately upon their re-
turn to Chicago they will take the matter
in hand in earnest
