City Post Office Work is Slow ms Can
Re.

Re.
Eight weeks have now gone by since The
Star began to notice the number of mon
employed on the city post office, and there
are today forty-six men on the walls, while
it has been amply demonstrated, by paral-
lei illustrations land examples, both local
and foreign, that as many as eight times
that number might prof1tably and well be
put to work. The work has progressed to
the point where at least four gangs of
stone masons might be kept at work at
once, one for each of the hosting engines.
Instead of that, but one gang has really
been hired, not counting that which has
slowly been accommodating stones on the
main tower. This gang works with the
same engine as another gang, so that
there might really be five forces of this
class of !aborers working simultaneously.
In addition to the stone settlers many
forces of bricklayers could be employed,
though this is not material, for the stone
work is so slow that the brici<layers easily
keep up with the others. The forty-siy
men at work today might finish the build

Bond Issue n Great Success.

The bond issue was greater success
than even the most sanguine had antici-
pated. The offerings aggregated about
SIG. 600, and came from all parts of the
country, even SO far away as San Fran
cisco. Assistant Secretary Curtis is highly
gratified at the result and did not hesitate
to say so to Star. reporter. The allot-
ments will be made by Secretary Carlisle
on Monday, and the general impression is
that the entire lot of bonds will be sold to
the United States Trust Company syndi-
cate at its. bid Of SHOOT, which is on
basis of 2 IS per cent. In case this syndi-
cate does not secure the entire issue at
that rate they stand an excellent show of
getting a large slice of it at their other
unconditional bid for $50, OOO, 900 at 81 6 $685.
The treasury balance will be increased
about SIS, 900, 600 by today's business. and
there is scarcely doubt that the gold bal
ance will be increased cOrrespondingly.

Mrs. Maggie kiesecker has notified the
public, through personals in the news
papers. that any one purchasing the
grocery store OF her husband, Edward
kiesecker. at 9Th and H streets southw est,
will purchase a lawsuit. She does not live
with her husband, for she claims another
woman has aIienated his affections. Some
days ago she left her husband and went to
live at No. "a Defrees street. In addition
to her domestic II ouble she is to be tried
In the Police Court for assault The COM
pIa1nant In the assault case Is Mrs Mary
Durham. dressmaker, who lives on L
street northwest between 9th and 10th
streets, whom Mrs. kiesecker horsewhip-
ped Wednesday night, so the former
charges. Mrs. Durham and Kiesecker
were friends in their younger days, and
Mrs. Durham, who - now a widow, is
probably sorry that she ever knew him.
When she returned here a widow from
Chicago, Kiesecker called to see her. He
delivered butter and eggs there In the line
Of his business, and his wagon frequently
remained In front OF the door for some
time. This news reached the wife, and
Wednesday evening 1t eliminated in the
alleged assault. According to the charge,
as laid in a Police Court warrant, Mrs.
Kiesecker called at the dressmaker's house
and when the latter opened the front door
the former applied the horse whip so
vigorously that Mrs. Durhams hands were
cut. and her face was also injured. Mrs.
Durham 81 screams faded to assist her,
for Mrs. ,kiesecker did not stop applying
the lash until she was nearly exhausted.
Then she told the widow she could go out
and get a policeman. but as this was not
done Mrs. f<iesecker went home.
Mrs. Durham says she swere out the war
rant in orderlfo protect her good name.
She denies1 that there was ever anything
improper between kiesecker and herself.

FEEDING THE HUNGRY.
The Thanksgiving Observance by the
Central Union Mission.

The general plan Of the great Thanks
giving Offering to the poor. which has been
feature of the work of the Central Union
Mission for a number of years past, has
been agreed upon by the committee in

be sent out to 700 families, the provisions
In each basket being proportional to the
size Of the family. The contents of each
basket will be as fellows: Chickens. po-
tatces bread. turnips. onions. beans. hon.
my, rice, butter. sugar. coffee, tea and
fruit.
The wagons will begin the delivery of
baskets to families designated on Wednes-
day morning, the 2sth instant, completing
the distributing before night. so that at
least 100 families may retire on Thanks
giving eve without anxiety as to the next
days dinner.
The entire building will be thrown open
on Thursday morning, and the reception
committee will be on hand to extend a
welcome to all visitors.
The lunch committee will have the dining
rooms In readiness. so that at IL o'clock on
Thanksgiving day 500 homeless men will
be admitted by ticket and served with a
hearty meal Of decided Thanksgiving char
| acterfstics. Care will be taken to avoid ad-
uniting to the lunch members Of families

A KNOWN QUANTITY.

1t Is the practice Of The Star to
print on Saturday a sworn statement
OF its circulation day by day for the

evident that the advertiser Ia entitled
to this protection. Below will be
found the statement for the week just
past.
The average circulation exhibited
Is believed to be much more than the
combined circulation Of the other
Washington dailies, and fully five
times that of its afternoon contem-
porary.
