land OF fair average quality, and is offered at

ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF

Residents Of II street are complaining
bitterly of the horse racing that takes
place on that street nightly and threaten
to make trouble for somebody if it is not
stopped. They say the source of their
annoyance is the crowd that goes out to
East Park nightly to speed roadsters. If
they would do all of their speeding in the
park the H-street people would not COM

is done coming home from the park on

Can Draw on the Reserve.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Some time ago
Solicitor General Aldrich was asked for an
opinion as to whether the 500 O0O, 900 gold
reserve was sacred and not to be drawn
upon except to redeem legal tenders. He
prepased an opinion but 1t was not deliver
ed, as the occasion did not demand it. A
synopsis of the opinion is given by Aldrich
as follows: The belief that there is no
positive provision of the law requiring that
a 500, 900, 900 reserve shall be kept is in my
opinion correct. 1t is also true under the
law, as l understand it, that all legal ten
der notes may be redeemed in coin This
was the case at the period fixed for the re-
sumption of specie payments, to wit, Jan.

Summary of Senate Doinrs.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The senate
yesterday discussed for nearly an hour the
question as to the reception at the present
extraordinary session of any business of a
legislative character. There seemed to be
a general concurrence of views that it
would not be desirable TO have any matters
of that kind acted upon or even presented.
Nevertheless a resolution offered formulat-
ing that sentiment was not acted upon,
but went Owe until the next meeting Ca

The President Confirms a Reported Rule
Relating to Appointments.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Representative
Springer, of Illinois. who was one of the
presidents callers yesterday, asked him if
the rule of not appointing men who had
held Office under him four years ago was
to prevail as reported. The president re-
piled in the affirmative, and when asked
if tie rule was inflexible Cleveland re-
sponded that it would be so substantially;
there might be exceptionald an extraordi-
nary circumstances which might cause
some departure from it, but he could not
call to mind any possibilities to justify a
change from the policy decided upon.
Springer asked if the rule was also to apply
to fourth-class postoffices. Cleveland's re-
sponse was that he had not thought about
that, but he gave the decided impression
that it would prevail to as great an extent
as possible with these small postmaster
ships.
Bissen Has Another Rule.
Postmaster General Bissell is accredited
with the announcement that no local busi-
ness men need apply for postoffices under
his administration. He objects to COM
missioning local business men as postmas-
ters for the reason that the actual duties
are performed by irresponsible and often
incompetent clerks and substitutes. Post
masters under Bissell must promise to de-
vote their entire time to the work and per-
sonally keep strict office hours.

The Ton of Mount BLANC.


America has her astronomical obssxv-
atories upon Mount Washington and
Pixies peak, where the thermometer Of
ten slides down to 40 below zero. Eu-
rope has had nothing to match these I'M
til now. when the completion Of the sb-
servatory upon Mount Blanc brings her
into line with progressive America.
The establishment of Mount Blanc OBJ
servatory is an event of unusual interest.
The building itself is in a measure
house under the snow. The structure Is
IS feet high, but only about 10 feet Of
this is visible. The rest is buried within
snow walls. 1t was intended to construct
the house upon solid rock foundation,
but the projectors bored down and down
through the ice till it seemed as if they
would never find a solid foundation.
After boring down 25 feet into the snow
and ice, they found themselves still at
least 80 feet from solid earth and gave it
up, concluding that they could not in any
case get a much soldier base than that
afforded by the granite hard snow and
ice cap of the mountain.
The first materials for the building
We're carried up the steep paths upon the
backs of men. Afterward windlasses
were rugged, and part drawn up in that
way. The house itself was built in Paris
in sections and shipped to ChamOunix.
The complete structure is in the shape
of pyramid. This gives the greatest
strength. At this death cold height only
anthracite coal will furnish heat enough
to keep the frost out, even in summer.
1t is not intended TO inhabit the observa-
tory except in warm weather-from May
TO November. The rest of the year the
lone pyramid will take care of itself.
Automatic thermometers and barom-
eters will. however, tell the story Of
weather and temperature when no mans
eye is there TO note it. Automatic cleo
trical transmitting wires can convey the
report to Chamounlx the year around.
The thermometer registers sometimes
so to 40 below zero ut the observatory.
The building will have shelter and rooms
for tourists, so that the ascent of Mount
Blanc Will ROW be undoubtedly more
popular than ever. The next step will
be TO construct railway up the frozen
heights. With the observatory already
there, this should be an easy matter
Then Mount Blanc will be robbed of its
terriers, perhaps of its fascination teo.

AsBCRT PARK, n. j., Oct. So.-Every
year the people here are annoyed by the
vagrant dogs and cats which infest all
parts Of the town during the fall and win
ter months These animals are half wild
and make their homes chiefly under the
barns and vacant cottages OF the summer
guests in North Asbury Park. There are
many wild dogs which will be a menace to
life and limb before the middle of the win
ter. The dogs hunt in pack for their
food and if molested snap and snarl like
rabid beasts. Nearly every family which
spends the winter here is also plagued by
half starved and homeless cats.
These vaRrant cats and dogs have been
abandoned by departing cottagers after
having been petted and fed all through the
summer months.

from New York, who wore badges of the

Animals, came here. One carried large

threats had impressed him so much as this

democrats for not providing therefor, that
Mr. German told why there was no demo-
cratic compromise. He started in by
scoring Senator Sherman for trying to
make party capital out of the present con-
dition of affairs, and then said that Sher-
man, as the republican leader, and the
leader of a majority of those senators who
represented the repeal sentiment, held the
key to the situation and dictated terms to
the administration and the senate; that
better measure. one doing justice to all
interests and at the same time furnishing the
relief wanted by the administration, could
have been agreed upon and passed had the
republicans been more patriotic and less
devoted to partisanship. He said that
democrats had been obliged to set aside
lifetime convictions to meet the emergency
forced by the republicans, and save the ad-
ministration.
Mr. German said in conclusion that he
would not repeat confidential converse
tons, but that it was exceedingly unfortu-
nate that democrats had been misunder-
stood; that he expected further financial
trouble for the treasury. 1t would be
caused by extravagant appropriations by
recent congresses; but the democratic
party. now controlling the entire govern

meeting it, In addition to Icing an ex-
