Experiences of Canvassers.


Experiences of Canvassers.
The canvassing committees in different
parts Of the city are having interesting ex-
periences. 1t is a common testimony among
them that, as a rule. those who are not partic-
ularly well-to-do give more promptly and
generously in response to their calls than
those from whom one might naturally expect
to receive the largest contributions. In but
few cases have reports been made that the
canvassers have been treated rudely. In
every part Of the city residents seem to
recognize that the canvassers have given
themselves to q work which some one must
do and even where they do not give, they
cheer them on their way with kind words.
In one case a lady engaged in canvass
ing. after having some discouraging expert
ences had her spirits revived by the
thoughtfulness Of one gentleman who sent
to her house a check for $50, with a note
stating that he would not give her the
trouble to have to retrace her steps to his
house in order to secure his contribution.
Many other pleasant stories are related.
In one case a canvasser was received In q
luxurious house very stiffiy by the lady
OF the house, who declined to give and
seemed to regard the visit of the canvasser
as an impertinent intrusion. When the
canvasser was leaving the servant at the
door, who evidently knew something of the
needs of the poor. gave the canvasser a
dollar, with word of apology because she
could not give more. The indications are
that the canvass will produce large
amount of supplies. Estimates as to the
sum Of money to be raised differ widely.
and since the action of the cabinet in de-
Ginning to permit a canvass OF the depart
ments those who made high estimates have
reduced them, as 1t was believed that the
department employees, who are the only
large class in the community having ready
money at stated intervals, would be In the
aggregate the largest contributors to the
relief fund

COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY.
Prospective Retirement Of Preside

Prospective Retirement OF President
James c. yelling.
The numerous friends OF President James
c. yelling. the polished scholar at the head
OF Columbian University, will regret to
hear that on account OF III health and a
desire to secure leisure for completing and
perfecting important literary work upon
which he has long been engaged he has
asked the corporation OF the university
to relieve him from his responsibilities as
president at the end of the scholastic wear
In October. The governing body met TODAY
and in granting his request passed reso-
lutions of high esteem for President Well
Ing and OF their regrets at this action on
his part. After his retirement from the
active presidency DIR. yelling is to con-
tinue to be connected with the university
as emeritus president to which ONCE he
was today elected, and it is also hoped
that the university may have the benefit
of his services as professor or lecturer in
the new school of comparative jurispru-
dence, which is to be developed by the uni
versity, and in which DIR. yelling has
taken the greatest interest. inasmuch as
II deals with a branch of study in which
he has made profound researches. The res
ignation of Dr. yelling will be a severe
blow to the Institution, which he has faith
fully. ably. brilliantly and successfully
served for more than twenty years.

MR.. LETTERS STONE FENCE.
II IL the Subject of a Letter From
Commander Dickfns.

1t IL the Subject of a Letter From
Commander Dickfns.
Much has been written concerning the
big stone fence around the residence OF Mr.
L. z. Letter. located at the corner of 18th
street. New Hampshire avenue and Dupont
Circle. When it was first learned that the
fence was to be Of stone and would exceed
in height the limit allowed by law the
building inspector was appealed to and
asked to interfere. As the building OF
fences does not properly come under the
regulations relating to structures the build
ing inspector claimed he had no jurisdic-
ton in the matter, except so far as it ex-
ceeded the building line. Notwithstanding
the earnest protests the fence was built
close up to the building line. This destroy
ed the easement Of the adjoining property
owner. who had a party wall privilege.
The owner complained bitterly, and the
building inspector was about to order the
fence down, when the representative of the
owner came In and said they were willing
to deed six inches Of their property to this
adjoining owner to satisfy his claim. Mat
tiers went along In this way until today
when Commander Dickins OF the United
States ship Monongahela wrote to the Com
missioners concerning the fence as follows
Last July sent a complaint to YOUR
hohof doie podro praying tnAt the fence
erected contrary to the building regula tons
Of the District and without my permission
between the residence of Mr.. L. T. Letter
and my lot adjoining his property on New
Hampshire avenue in square l35 be ordered
to be taken down.
This fence is a detriment to my prop
erty, contrary to the building regulatio of
tine District and placed next to my line,
thus preventing the building Of a party
wall should / conclude to build.
Il beg that you will protect me from this
unlawful and unwarranted infringement
of your regulations. established for the
good OF all. and direct the owner Of the
fence TO comply with them"

COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED.

So Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Astwood Are
Not to he Reappointed.
The recent conference between the Presi-
dent and a committee Of the Negro Demo-
cratic League looking to the recognition of
colored democrats in the distribution of
federal patronage. has again drawn atten-
ton to the cases Of Mr. c. ]. H. TAYLOR
and Mr.. Astwood. During the extra ses-
sion Of Congress the former was nominated
as minister to Bolivia and the latter as
consul to Calais. The nomination Of Mr..
Taylor lapsed with the session and that Of
Mr.. Astwood was rejected. At the reas-
sembling Of Congress in regular session in
December 1t was predicted that both men
would be renominated. although there was
considerably more doubt Of such action in
the case Of Mr.. Astwood than in that Of
Mr.. Taylor. Congress has now been in
session nearly two months. Neither of the
nominations referred to has been made. and
&c is said that the committee Of the Negro
Democratic League which talked with the
President on the subject is satisfied that
the President does not contemplate renomi-
mating either of them.
This determination on his part IL said
to be due to conviction that they stand
no chance Of confirmation. He has a high
opinion Of Mr.. Taylor, but Is skeptical of
his confirmation minister to Bolivia, in
view Of intimations that that government
would look with disfavor on the appoint
ment Of a colored man as the diplomatic
representative of the United States That
the league Is satisfied that Mr. Taylor is
not to be accredited to Bolivia is indicated
by the fact that it has urged his appoint
ment as recorder Of deeds Of the District
of Columbia. This action on the part of
the league was taken on the assumption
that Mr.. Bruce's successor will be colored
man OF the democratic party, regardless of
his place of residence. In case the Presi-
dent decides to select a colored democrat
of the District for this office, the league has
several good men belonging to that organi-
zation to suggest, but IL the home rule"
principle is to be ignored. its members are
united on Mr.. Taylor.
The committee discussed this question
with the President and while they were
satisfied that the office would go to a color
ed man, they obtained no direct informa-
ton as to his identity. nor were they at all
enlightened as to whether he was likely to
be local man or an outsider.
AS one of the committee expressed 1t to
star reporter: The President Is going
to do the right thing in this matter He
Is interested in our cause and will stand
by us. Whatever he does will be right.
You can be sure Of that"
