THE GEORGETOWN CoLLECToRsHIp
Secretary Carlisle Calls for Mr. john
sons Resignation.

Yesterday Secretary Carlisle called for
the resignation OF Collector S A. johnson
OF the port OF Georgetown. Mr. Johnson 5
term expired on the 18th OF December last.
As that date approached many candida ties
for the office appeared. But when ,Decem-
Der passed and Mr.. Johnson still drew his
salary X seemed to become the general
opinion of the candidates that the incum-
ben; would not be disturbed for at least
year. The SeCretary's action yesterday
then came to them az surprise. Last
year the receipts of ths Georgetown custom
house amounted to over $SJ.OuQ. As the
collector gets as his compensation for serv.
ices per cent of the receipts his salary
amounted to over s., 4o0. There are but two
government offices in Georgetown. the col.
lectorship and the postmastership. The
former has always been looked upon by
Georgetown folks as plum belonging ex
clusively TO Georgetown and has almost
invariably been given To Georgetown m en-
The appointment of Captain johnson, who
was not resident of Georgetown. has
therefore never been accepted with grace
by local leaders.
Among the most prominent names nov
mentioned in connection with the of1ic,
are those of MIR. VIM. A. Hutchins. Mr.
Ed Watkins. the deputy collector: Mr.. Jno
7. Mitchell. Mr.. Frank Tickling. Mr.. J
Hadiey Doyle Mr.. Franck Johns and Mir
Charles Lanman.

THE ALUMINIUM AGE.
An Interesting Paper Read by MT
Frederick p. Dewey.

Mr.. friedrich p. Dewey. president OF the
Chemical Society OF Washington, read an
interesting paper on the subject of alumni
mum at the assembly hall Of the Cosmos
Club last night, in the course OF which he
destroyed many theories and illusions in re-
gard to the character and powers of the
metal. Probably no metal has been SO gross
ly misrepresented, he said, as aluminium,
and this applies to its good qualities as well
as its bad qualities. On the one hand its
virtues have been extolled to the skies,
while on the other 1t has been pronounced
absolutely worthless. He gave a history
Of the development of the metal and an
account Of the process employed for the
production Of the pure metal. He asserted
that ordinary clays are not suitable in their
present state of industry for the extraction
Of pure aluminium, and showed that the
field to which the metal might in time be
applied was so vast that no one could dare
venture a prediction as to how farreach ching
it might be. He showed that the worlds
greatest scientists were now of the opinion
that IL was the best of all metals for the
manufacture of eating and cooking utensils,
whereas 1t had been formerly held AS a
with foods. He held that the action of Or
binary liquids OH aluminium is very slight
and not in any wise Injurious.
Possibilities of the Metal.
In closing he said When we consider
that some of our common metals antedate
history, that We cannot yet consider that
the extraction, manufacture and use of
these metals has reached a complete or
finished state. notwithstanding the thous-
ands of years that they have been wrought,
and that even now enormous sums of mon
ey and vast efforts are being expended TO
perfect them, the slowness with which
aluminium has developed should not be
wondered at, Notwithstanding that one year
now may mean as much as many years in
the early days of the other metals.
we take many things for granted re-
garding our common metals that nndoubt-
eddy required much time and money to
establish, but that was so long ago that we
rail- to take account of Ii now. The COM
mercial production of aluminium is not yet
forty years old, and it's production in con-
siderable quantities scarcely four years cd,
yet many of its critics ask as much of t as
though 1t had been in use every day for at
least 400 years. Shall We have an alumni
MUM age? In the extravagant sense in
which that expression is often used that
aluminium viii replace and drive out all other
metals for most purposes, or in the same
sense that We speak OF the stone and bronze
ages l think not. But that aluminium will
play an increasingly important part in the
metal world in the future and be very freely
and commonly used, l have not the slightest
doubt"

WHEN TO COURT.
Judge Miller Has Some Words of Adj
vice on This Subject.

vice on This Subject.
Mrs. Sarah +. Nord has a young daughter
who has been going with young man
named Ohio C.Barclay. much to Mrs Nord's
dtspleasure. Monday Ohio, who admits that
he likes to go with Miss Nord, was walking
with her, when her mother rushed at him
and slapped him three times in the face.
Barclay had the mother in Judge Miller
court yesterday. charged with assault. He
claimed to have a note from Miss Nord ask
ing him to meet her. He met her on the
street because hospital nurse who was at
the Nords' objected to his coming to the
house. though Mr.. and Mrs. Nord had no
feeling against him. The daughter a pretty
fourteen-year-old girl, was with the mother
in court today. and when Mrs. Nord was
put on the stand she said that her daugh-
ter was too young to keep company with
any one" She met her daughter walking
with Barclay and she went between them to
separate them and ordered each to 60 home
Judge Miller remarked that the proper
place for a young man TO call upon a girl
OF that age was at her parents home. This
business of fourteen-year-old girls meeting
young men on the street was one that could
not be too strongly deprecated, as it leads
to many a ruined home or unhappy mar
rage. and in this case he thought that the
mother was on the right track in protecting
her daughter, and he dismissed the charge
against her.

creation of such a board OF appeals He
called attention TO the fact that in point
OF size Washington is the eleventh city in

of the building inspectors Office. which, he
says, for the want of funds. lacks facilities
TO meet the greatly increased demands
made upon II by reason of the treat annual
increase in the number size and complexi-

ments. He warmly advocated an appropri-

ton of a District building.

BEHAVED LIKE MEN
And Used Their Fists and No Great
Harm Was Done.

John Clarke was in Judge Miller's court
yesterday. charged with an assault upon a
young man named Norton c. Beall The
man who claimed to be assaulted stated
that the defendant met him at the navy
yard gate and charged him with using a
foul epithet toward defendant. Clarke
grabbed him and attempted to strike him.
In the melee blows passed, or. as Judge
miller expressed 1t, they fought 1t out
like men" Both are clerks in the navy
yard, and Clarke's lawyer attempted to
prove by Beall that there had been hard
feeling between them and that Beall had
tried to have Clarke discharged. Clarke told
his side of the story and Judge Miller, who
uses a large amount of common sense in
his rulings, decided that 1t was simply a
small trouble between two men who are
in the same office and that If there were
any blows struck, no harm was done, and
1t was simply technical assault. A fine
Of IS was imposed.
