WE FAYoR No CANDIDATE.

II is a source Of regret that an employe of
TIE TINES should so far forget his position
as to place this paper in the attitude Of favor
ing any candidate for the gold watch to be
presented 10 the most popular member Of the
Washington police force. but such is a fact.
AS TIE TIMES intends to be fair and impair
tial in all its transactions candor, makes it
necessary TO give the public full statement
Of the case and close the watch contest al
the earliest possible moment without preju-
dice to those holding back coupons for their
favorite candidates.
In the interest Of fairness to all concerned,
were it possible to do so, THE TIMES would
refund the money to those who have sent in
coupons and declare the contest of, but most
Of the coupons have been forwarded without
giving the names Of the senders, and such a
course is impracticable. Therefore no alter
native remains but to fix day to make a
final count OF the coupons and award the
watch to the person to whom the highest
number Of votes has been given.
all COUPONS WILL BE REJECTED AFTER
TWELVE O'CLOCK MONDAY, OCTOBER FIRST, AND
THE FINAL COUNT WILL BE CLOSED AT FOUR
O'clock P. M. On THAT DAY. THE ANNOUNCE
UENT OF THE RESULT OF THE COUNT WILL BIZ
BULLET1EED AT THR TIMES OFFICE nDIEDI-
ATELY AFTERwARD, AND THE AWARD MADE AS
SOON THEREAFTER as PRACTICABLE.
There are other rumors connected with the
watch contest which have grown out Of this
reporters active efforts in behalf Of one Of the
candidates, but as TEE TIMES now disposes OF
the contest in the interest Of fairness and up,
right dealing, these rumors are not worth fol-
lowing. TEE TINES has this to say, how
ever, that il any other employe Of this paper
has in any way implicated or identified him.
self in the interests Of any one candidate fol-
the watch, that employe viii be promptly dis.
charged if the complaint is substantiated.
It might be well TO add that the particular

SONGS OF A sIGHTLEsS LAD.
He and His Widowed Mother Trying to
Earn Money TO Take Them South.


Earn Money TO Take Them South.
Its weary stretch of over 100 miles from Har.
risburg, Pa, 10 this city, yet this distance has
been covered on foot by a widow and her blind
SON Mrs Grove is the name of the woman, and
her boy Adam is sixteen years old, but small and
undeveloped.
The pa If were at police headquarters yester.
day for the purpose of asking Major Moore for a
permit to allow the lad 10 sing the streets, in
order 70 pick up a few stray pennies from sym
pathizing passers-by. Mrs. Grove is a respect
able-iookiAg woman. and neither she nor heT
afflicted son have the appearance OF tramps.
When the mother widowed, about six
menths ago the sole means of her support was
swept away, and she found II necessary TO pre-
pare TO 90 to the home OF her family, at Win
ston, y. C.. Being penniless and without friends
rich enough 10 pay her train fare, she was
obliged to resort to the unwelcome alternative
OF walking the hundreds of miles TO her destina'
tion.
The pIucky woman and her son since then
have footed the dusty roads through all sorts OF
weather to this city, en- route TO the far-awaJ
Southern home. By easy stages the pair have
Travelled, stopping at each town, where the lad
has sung Sweet Marie" and other popular
melodies in q sweet voice, with a touch of sad
ness that at once appeals to the listener. The
last stop that the pair made, according TO the
story the widow told the head OF the police, was
Frederick, Nd. Here they secured small sum
of money, which soon ran out, and In travelling
the sxty miles 10 Washington they were at
tackled by hunger and priyation, arriving here
almost exhausted.
When the boy and his mother tried to gather
some money by his songs they were stopped by
policemen and hidden to secure a permit
After hearing Mrs. Groves story, simply and
modestly told, Major Moore granted her per
mission to have the boy sing until Saturday
night The next morning Mrs Grove and hel
siEhtless son take up the journey to the South
and home.

organs were regarded with much disfavo1
by many pious and intelligent people, il
was proposed to introduce one of these
dangerous inventions into a New England
meeting house, one of the pillars of which
was an old man of Quaker blood.
He was one Of the most violent oppo.
nents to the plan when it was first propos-
ed. In fact, he expressed his views sc
strongly that the person who was collect.
ing money for the organ when it was at
last decided to have it did not venture to
call upon the old Quaker for any subscrip-
ton.
He met him on the street one day, how
ever, and was agreeably surprised when
the old man vol out a SUBSTANTIAL looking
wallet and presented him with a most
generous sum to add to his collection.
