A BOGUS DISTRICT OFFICIAL.
He Tries to Sell Alleged Dog Tags ia
the Owners of CANNES.

the Owners of CANNES.
For some time past a colored man has
been going about the northeastern section
of the city trying to impose on the resi-
dents for the purpose of extorting money
from them. His usual plan is to call at the
kept and inform the occupants that he is an
empIoye of the District government and his
business is to look up dogs which are not
provided with tags. He advises the owner
of dog, in the event that the dog does not
wear a tag, to procure one at once, and
then states that he has a tag with him
which he Will give them on the payment of
Sl.25. He also states that he will give a
receipt for the money, which they can hand
in at the District office and pay in addition
30 cents. In one case where the lady of the
house hestated about accepting this offer
the inpcster threatened to so out and teIe-
phone to headquarters, saying that they
would al once send for the dog.
He left the house for this ostensible pur-
pose and returned in about ten minutes.
presenting badly written note which read
You must get tag for your dog and pay
this man at once one dollar and quarter -
The District officials would not be proud OF
either the writing or the spelling of this
note. Fortunately, in this case, the de-
Inands were not acceded to, and upon the
arrival of a male member OF the family he
was promptly elected from the house. He
is described as man OF medium height,
brown complexion and having a slight
mustache. He was dr esSed in a suit of
dark material and wore a derby hat.

o the Editor Of The Evening Star:

40 INC huitor OF Inc Evening star:
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. August "A, 1894.
Your generally correct Alexandra CORE
spondent in his letter OF yesterday has been
led into error on the statement that "the
Washington prize for the military con-
test which will be drilled at Grange Camp
fair is only for a 500 cup"
In the first place. the Grange Camp drill
is not a washington prize" as the asso-
citation is purely and thoroughly virginian,
with convent entity located offices at IAN
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington city.
In the second, although the association
offers about $4,000 in prizes. purses and
premiums. all are In cash except where
rules of certain organizations prohibit cash
prizes. as, for example. our amateur bicycle
tournament and lady riding friends.
The purses offered for the military con.
test on September 20 and q are three In
rumber and aggregate $50 in cash prizes
$3.50 OF which goes to Virginia companies
with a chance of 500 more In case they
win on both dates. with probably a stirruI
cup thrown in. Our Alexandria friend was
misinformed. I trust The Star will cor

NOT AFIER MERCER.
The New York Club Has Made n
Offer to, Mr.. Wagner.


The presence at sae Polo grounds yester-
day OF the attorney of the Washingtons,
VINO is also director in the club, led to a
runor that he Is bere for the purpose OF
enecting sale of Pitcher Mercer to the
Giants, says 3day's new York Herald.
which adds thai 20 definite or even indi-
rect negotiations to that end have been
entered into by. tie two clubs. Treasurer
Talcott said several days ago that he would
be glad to have Mercer to pitch for the
New Iorks next season, but that he had
made no suggestion of the kind to MIR,
Wagner, nor would ne make such an offer,
because that would surely give the latter a
wrong overwhelmingly, that the New
lorks were willing to pay big price for
the young pitcher 5 release. I'VE might be
willing to pay 1900 for his release, but
certainly not any more, said the moving
spirit of the Giants. Ward thinks Mercer
is a good one, but our club is just now in
such shape that we would not be justified
in paying an unusual price for another
'twirler when We have at least three who
are his betters'

at Philadelphia, had an interview with Sec
rotary Carlisle yesterday regarding the con-
struction to be placed on the new tariff bill

ton which Mr.. Tattersfield desired to have
settled was whether wool now In bond
could be Withdrawn without payment Of
duty when the new tariff act placing II on
the free lis. becomes a law. Mr.. Carlisle
explained that the wording of the enacting
Clause of the new bill was such that there
could be only one construction placed upon
1t, and that was that all wool now in bond,
in order to avoid the payment of duty,
would have to be exported and again I'M
