Mr. III. J. Miles, of Greembrlor
county, has come to grief through
a very unusual process. Some time
ago, il seems, in an evil hour he
burned a barn in Meadow Bluff
district. Shortly afterwards, at a
revival meeting he professed con-
version, and in public confession
OF his sins included his little exploit
about the destruction Of the barn.
The matter was OF course noiscd
abroad, and coming TO the ears Of
the yigiIant prosecuting attorney,
Brother Miles was indicted for
arson, and last week was arrested
and lodged in Lewisbnrg Jail, where
he enjoys a dne prospect Of going to
the penitentiary. And now, as
they say in the song, "he's sorry
that he spoke. Monroe Watch-
nun.

The tariff program as mapped out
by Chairman Wilson was Five
days for general debate, cight days
with evening sessions for discussion
under the five. minute rule, during
which the internal revenue amend
mOnts decided upon this wcek-the
2 per cent tax upon all incomes Of
$1,000 and over (; the increase in
the tax on cigarettes to $3.50 per
1000 the increase in the tax on
whiskey to s1.OO per gallon, aud
the tax Of two cents per pack on
playing cards-.are TO be adopted,
and the final vote to be taken on
the 18th Of January but it will
not be possible TO carry out this or
any other program II q Democratic
quorum cannot be kept there all the
time ; already the day Of the final
vote has been changed TO January
%. This abscnteeism is more the
result Of the big Democratic major
Ity than indifference. Each mem.
Der who stays away probably thinks
there will be a Democratic quorum
without him, but so many stay
away that there isn't.

GEN. BOOTHS VISIT.
All the Arrangements for His COmipe
to Washington Completed.

All the arrangements for the visit of Gen.
Booth of the Salvation Army to Washing
ton are now complete. He will arrive on
the afternoon of Monday, November o. will
be greeted at the station by members of the
auxiliary league and officers of the army
and will be entertained by the secretary OF
the auxiliary league, Mr.. William Redin
Woodward. Monday evening he will speak
in Convention Hall on the Darkest Eng
land social scheme and other work of the
Salvation Army, and will be introduced by
Mr.. Justice Strong of the Supreme Court,
retired.
Gen. Booth will be assisted in the meeting
by his son, Commander Ballington Booth
the American head of the American forces
Of the army, and by other officers, including
Staff Capt. Malan, whose singing in several
languages has been so much admired in
New York. He has taken part in most OF
the great meetings Gen. Booth has been
holding there this week. especially those
which crowded Carnegie Music Hall two
successive nights. Gen. Booths meeting in
Convention Hall will resemble that one of
the Carnegie Hall meetings at which
Chauncey NJ. Depew in introducing Gen.
Booth paid him and the army such high
tribute.
On Wednesday Gen. Booth and his party
will go to Baltimore, where he is to speak
that night in the new Music Hall, being in
troduced by Mayor Latrobe. Gen. Booth had
hoped to lave another meeting in Washing
ton but finds 1t to be impracticable to spare
the time and strength necessary. In view
Of this fact it is supposed that there Will
be a rush for the tickets which Droop has
to sell leach with reserved seaD at only
IS cents to meet the large necessary ex-

VACCINATION ALONE.
Surgeon General Billings Prescribes
the Preventive OF Smallpox.

- Oss~sseAR~Ae
1T may all be summed up In the one
INSTRUMENTATION" said Assistant Surgeon
Gen. John 8. Billings at the Army Medical
Museum this afternoon, when Star re-
porter asked him what was best for peo-
pie to do in order to lessen the danger from
contagion to themselves during the preva-
lence Of smallpox in Washington. "Isola-
laton, the posting of placards and the
hanging Of flags from infected houses are
good only in the measure by which they
call attention to the necessity of vaccina-
ton. 1t was vaccination that stopped the
smallpox epidemic Of 1879, when the ma
tional board Of health had the matter in
charge, and DR.. Charles Smart Of the army
had supervision of It. House-to-house WIS.,
itation and vaccination is the only effectual
method to insure safety and kill out the
disease.
Smallpox is a geometrically progressive
disease" continued DR.. Billings, ''in this
way. One case which is called the first
crop, will be followed by four; these. the
second crop. will be followed by sixteen.
while the fourth crop will be sixteen times
sixteen. and so on. This is a popularity Of
the disease and a terrible popularity, too.
Let every one get vaccinated at once and
the disease will die out. That Is the only
means 1 know Of to insure safety to the
public and prevent the spread Of small
poX."

SEVENTY AT WORK.
One BricIxlayer Among the City Post
once LabOrers.

There Is trouble with the figures In re-
gard to the city post Office building again.
This Is due to a peculiar regulation Of the
trades union, which requires that a brick
layer working on q circular wall shall re-
ceive pay for a day and half for every
day he works. There was man doing this
kind Of work this morning, on the east
turret of the main entrance, and so he can
not be counted, except as a man and hail.
But fractions Of humanity would be out OF
place in such a stupeudous undertaking as
the building Of the post Office has proved to
be, and so the half man cannot be consider
ed. However, this regulation was not
known to The Star day before yesterday
when there was a bricklayer working on
the circular vail of the west turret, and so
that individual was counted only as one
man. Therefore, the even thing now will
be to lump these two fragments and add
the result to the total of today, which Is
sixty-nine, and thus the figure for this day
will be seventy men whose labor Is entering
into the structure. These men working
Gaily without interruption from the weather
or the architects office might get through
with the building on or about the 10th OF
September 1896, old style.
But even this Burst of Energy that Is be-
ing forced into existence by the Grim De-
termination, does not suffice to absorb
nearly all the idle architectural talent in
Washington. The main gate at the north
east corner is daily besieged by applicants
for the crumbs of employment that fall
from the various contractors whose words
are law within the Enclosure. This morn
ing the hod carriers of Washington were
represented by sturdy son of Africa, with
his implement of toll, who had somehow
conceived the mistaken notion that men
were wanted on the Site He waited for an
hour or so, and then realized his mistake,
and went into other quarters. A bricklayer
was also enviously watching the work or
the successful applicant for the only job In
that line on the whole building, and he and
the bod carrier snapped sarcastic COM
ments on the pre- gress of the work.
There is some more iron missing from the
shipments that come occasionally from In
dianapolis, and so the construction of the
frame on the eastern side Is delayed once
more But that does not hinder the stone
work any, for the masons cannot start I'M
til something or other is finished. So the
iron handlers are at work on the south
wall, and that place is swarming with men.
The centers for the great arches on the
north front have reached the site, and may
be set today. The work Of setting these
arches will be begun In day or two, and
probably will be pushed until the two east
erly arches nave been finished Meanwhile
1t is not likely that any other stone work
will be done.

Barguins I'm Oriental Rugs.

The auction sale of oriental carpets and
rugs consigned to d. X. Varzhabedian.
which has been in progress during the last
two days at 1916 + street, has attracted a
great deal of attention. The attendance
each morning and afternoon has been large
and has comprised many representative
people. The sale will be continued daily.
and the opportunity of securing a superior
class of goods at moderate figures is one
that is being fully appreciated The bar
gains offered are the subject of a good deal
of talk, and the result Is that each day S
sale is attended by larger crowds. The

The Protective Association HELD
Meeting Last Night.

A meeting OF the Soldiers and Sailors and
Sons of Veterans Protective Association
was held last evening at 623 street. A
number of new members were admitted and
a large amount of routine business trans
acted. The most important action Of the
meetirg, however, was the adoption Of the
report of a special committee on resolutions,
which characterized as a fabrication the
showing made by the Interstate Democratic
Association In response to the charge made
Of unjust and unwarranted discrimination
upon the part CT the present administration
toward eX-Union veterans.
Lists were submitted showing that there
were discharged June 1, 1894, from the sur
geon generals office, War Department,
eight ex-Uni0n veterans, and that upon the
decentralization Of the Senate there were
twelve dropped from the rolls.
