The New water Works at windsor.

The special village corporation meeting
at Windsor last week ratified the acts of
the committee on the new water supply.
The expenditures to date, including all
contracts made, are about $4,000, and it
was voted to issue bonds, payable in 20
years, bearing four per cent interest to
meet the indebtedness incurred. The &C
ton in this direction of previous meeting,
said to have been invalid because of legal
technicalties, was rescinded. The work
on the new supply is progressing, and it is
believed that all will be finished in few
weeks. The pump house at the springs is
ready for occupancy, the well and stone
canal for conveying the water are practical,
ly ready, the street water mains are iald
and the stand pipe is nearing completion
Every part of the work has been thorough
ly done.

California has a wonderful future before
it in the cultiva ton of fruits, and the great
est source of its wealth in this connection
will be, ! believe, in the growing of figs"
said r. II. Martin, who resides in Los An
geles and has promising platation of
young fig trees in Sonora, at Wizards this
morning. 1T is only recently that the CAL
ifornans have learned the proper variety
of figs to plant. Like most of our early
fruits. the blue fig found growing by
the early settlers at the various missions.
and for many years ii was the only variety
cultivated. While excellent for home use
the blue fig almost worthless as a dry
er, and for some time the lack of any sub
stitute led to the neglect of fig culture OF
late years, however, many varieties of the
white fg have been introduced into Califor-
mia, notably the white Adriatic and the
brown smyrna, and these are fully equal to
the imported article when dried or crystal
lized. There are ten million pounds of dried
figs consumed in the United States every
year, and there is no reason in the world
why California shouldn't s''--'r- - - -

Completing His Education.

Young French. the playful lion at the
Zoo, has left Washington for a summer
trip. Heretofore his education has been
rather neglected, and now his foster parents
have decided that il is time for the young
ster to so forth into the world to learn a
few things. He has been loaned to the
Barnum & Bailey circus to become one of
the great family of performing animals.
under the direction of Albert Stadler This
efficient tutor of beasts expects to give
French points enough in a few weeks to
era able him to go on with a clever act in
the performance in the steel arena and to
reflect credit upon his kindergarten, the
Washington Zoo. French takes the place
of Frank, an older lion, with a bad temper
whose performance each time is marred by
his reluctance TO act and his willingness
to fight his fellow actors. So Frank has
been sent to the Zoo TO be watched by the
crowd of visitors. He is a full-grown
handsome beast, and, though not SO lively
as his young successor in the circus, will
be Sil that Washingtonians could desire in
the way of a specimen monarch of the
forest.
In addition to this exchange which took
place at Baltimore last week, the Zoo gets
from the circus fine young male leopa I'd
which will make it possible for the Zoo to
increase its stock of these beautiful crea-
lures without any additional appropria-
tons In fact, this establishment has been
quite enterprising in this direction, several
small editions of the animals having been
issued.

Test Case to BE Made,

Postmaster General Bissell has decided to
give a hearing in the test case instituted by
ex-Letter Carrier Slater of the Fort Wayne.
Ind. post Office, who was removed and now
seeks reinstatement. Slater was first tenn
porarily removed on the recommendation of
Postmaster Rockhill of Fort Wayne who
alleged that Slater had censured him in a
republican paper He declared his limo
cence, and an inspector of the department
was sent to Fort Wayne. The report ex-
onerated him from the charge of newspaper
assaults, but charged neglect of duty, i'm
polite conduct and other offenses, for which
permanent removal was ordered. Slater
concluded to contest the action of the post
master and to lay his appeal personally be-
fore the Postmaster General, and has ac-
cordingly come to Washington.
The Postmaster General said today that
he would give the hearing during the mid
die of the week. Postmaster Rockhill is
also expected to be present to protes t
against the reinstatement

FRAUDULENT INDIAN CLAIMS.
What Senator Kyle Says OF Those
He Has InNestirnted.

Senator Kyle was in his seat in the Sem
ate today for the first time during the pres
ent month, having returned from his mis-
sion as chairman Of the subcommittee on
Indian depredations to investigate fraudu-
lent claims against the government In
conversation he said that he had visited
Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies. and that
his investigation at these agencies had con-
WINGED him that many fraudulent practices
had been resorted TO in the efforts 10 get
these claims through. and he is satisfied
that of the claims which he has investi-
gated fully 30 per cent are fraudulent. He
says that many OF the claims allowed are
for depredations committed by tribes which
were not in amity with the United States.
which is against the distinct provisions OF
the law. In other cases the claims have
been made much larger than the facts jus
tify, and others have been apparently
trumped up and manufactured out of whole
cloth. Senator Kyle found that the claim
agents had been very active in this work,
and he discovered cases IN which claims
had been filed of which the claimants them
selves had no knowledge for a year after
the filing. This work was due TO the claim
attorneys, who. from their knowledge OF
the law and OF Indian depredations. would
undertake to make out a claim for a man
who had probably suffered at the hands q
Indians, and then. having arranged all the
preliminaries. assist him in procuring tes-
timony TO substantiate The claims.
another class OF fraudulent claims. some
OF which have been allowed. are those made
by white men who are members Of Indian
tribes.
Senator Kyle Is not disposed to speak
very freely of the evidence ne discovered
inculpating officials of the government He
found that many claims had been allowed
upon purely eX parte testimony and ex-
presses the opinion that this is a question
which ought to be thoroughly Investigated
before appropriation is made for the pay
ment OF the claims. He also mentioned one
instance in which a government agent was
sent TO South Dakota. and who il was af-
terward discovered had put in most Of his
time while there in securing material for
claims against the government. in which he
afterward appeared as attorney for the
claimants.
There are about s6o0.oo0 worth of these
claims which have been allowed and for
which appropria lions have not vet been
made. The committee on. Indian depreia-
lions is anxious that an appropriation
should be secured this session for the mer-
itorious claims. but does not desire TO pay
the questionable claims
Senator Kyle thinks il probable that the
effort will not be directed 10 securing
money for the settlement of the claims
which appear 10 be straight while Others
will probably be held up for the present.

Rents Are Reduced.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
was much surprised to find in local
newspaper, first a communication asserting
that the owners of property in the District
refused to reduce their rents during the
present depression and then an editorial
saying: Wages are not high; rents are
and that 1.-The landlord is memorable"
Now. nothing could be farther from the
truth. In the first place. rents are, and al
ways have been, lower for the same accom-
modations in Washington and Georgetown
than any city of their size in the country.
In the second place. rents have been re-
duced almost universally, except In GER
tain business localities where the assess
ment and taxes have been largely increased.
For instance, i am Offering for rent a Eusi-
ness building in a good location for $3.50
per month. which in 1876 rented readily for
S2s3.33-a reduction of $500 a year. The
taxes on this were increased over 30 Der
cent last year. Another building which has
rented readily for years past, in fact ever
since ii was built, for 500, and on which
also the assessment was increased last sea-
son. l am Offering for $50. a reduction Of
Sl2U per year.
Still another, which from ISL rented
readily for 500. and on which the assess
ment was also increased l now rent for $40.
a reduction of $500 per annum.
l venture the assertion that il these par
ties will go around among the agents AID
owners having property Tor rent they VIII
find that such is the case generally.
1t is especially unjust TO make such state
ments like the above in times like these,
when the papers are filled with advertise
ments of property for rent at reduced rates,
and when much, if not most of the resi-
dence property, after paying the taxes, in
surance and repairs, will not pay per
cent per annum. Such statements are not
only unjust to the men who have invested
their means and built up the CITY, but they
also tend to injure the District 10y prevent
ing people from coming here because of
the supposed high rents.

II the women Of Karsas adopt the plan
Of the equal sufragists of the sixth con-
gressional district there is no way Of esti-
mating the outcome Of the contest for equal
suffrage at the approaching state election.
At a meeting at Osborne not long ago tbs
women who had met TO plan for the cam
paign surprised the men by locking the
doors and informing them that they pro-
posed TO keep their own counsel ii was
discovered soon after the adjournment OF
the meeting that the women organized un-
der system Of grips. passwords and signs.
and that all went TO their respective
homes under pledge not TO reveal what TOOK
place al that meeting. The action OF the
sixth district women has caused much
comment throughout the state, ana II Is
stated that organizers are seen 10 start out
organizing secret clubs which VIII work
for the adoption of the equal suffrage
amendment.
Prominent suffrage women here think the
plan will fail. One of them, who refused 10
have her name used. was very certain that
the secrets would get out. and the organ
ization go 10 pieces. because the prying
men would not rest unsil they got hold u
the grips signs and passwords. She said:
THE chances are that some blarneying
wretch of a man will wheedle IL all out Of
some trusting woman, and when IL is out
sust,icIon will break up the whole business
But whether the secret leaks out or not The
women are working the wrong tack. They
can do nothing by themselves. and when
they huddle behind doors and leave men TO
the brutal reflections of their loneliness the
whole affair is injured more than il is bene-
flied The thing for the women TO do is
for every woman 10 pick her man and be-
gin a systematic. aggressive campaign.
one man can always be coaXed. but man as
a unit is stubborn as mule. This is
time for strategy; not for charge of the
light brigade"
