INVESTIGATION OF CHARITIES.

Senator Hoar Offers a Resolution with
that End in View.
Senator Hoar introduced a resolution yes
terday intended to bring about general in
vestigation of the hospital and charitable as
sociasions OF the District. No action was
taken upon it. but it is probable that 1t will be
referred to the District subcommittee. which
is to investigate the Board of Children's
Guardians and other charities!havin charge
of children. consisting Of the following Sena-
tors: Mcmillan. Gallinger, Martin, Faulkner.
and Hunton.
The resolutions was as follows:
''The Committee on the District Of Column
bia is instructed TO investigate and report 10
the Senate information in regard to the sew
eral hospitals and charitable institutions of
this city that are supported in whole or in
part by appropriations made by Congress.
with view of ascertaining, first, whether the
grounds and buildings of said institutions be-
long to the local or general governments; Sec
ond, whether these institutions are managed
and controlled by the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia or by boards OF incorpo-
rators; third. whether there is auniform rule
or law governing the management OF these
institutions, or whether any of them have
been Disseminated against to the embarrass-
ment and injury OF said institution or institu-
tions; fourth, they will make such recon-
medations as in their judgment are necessary
to placing all the eleemosynary institutions
of the District of Columbia receiving govern
ment aid upon the same basis, subject to the
same rules and regulations.
The inquiry is in line with the policy OF
the law OF 1890, creating the superintendency
of charities. and follows in detail the annual
re ports of that officer. All the changes In
charitable allowances made in the District
appropriation act, just signed, are in accord
with the recommendations Of the superin-
tendent's report published last November.

marry him, telling her that he had not been
successful in business as yet, but that if she

Lyddy, where you and my sister Ann used to
play. 'Tain't been plowed afore in twenty
five years.
The six-acre patch, Lydia Spencer had
been thinking that morning. was much like her
heart. in which the love sod had been unfur-
rowed for twenty-five years. Twenty-Five
years! Yes, it had been just that long since
she mad seen John Butterworth-since he
gave her a lovers look and then, cheerily
assuring her that they would soon meet
again, had gone to New York. Their letters
had been earnest and full Of feeling, and

"There, there, Miss Lyddy," said the big
carpenter, tanning her with his straw hat.
"The heats been too much fur ye. I guess"
Trembling like child, she once more looked
at the letter-her own letter Of acceptance
plighting her troth for better or for worse,
through evil and good report. 1t seemed to
her as if her heart would burst in agony. She
knew now why John Butterworth had never
come back. She had appeared to him as un-
willing to share his fortunes. Lydia Spencer
was firm woman. In justice to herself she
determined to make an effort to reach John
Butterworth with the belated letter. 1t had
no postmark. Taking the marker she re-
moved the figures "94' and substituted "69.
Then, writing note to the proprietor OF
the Bulls Head Hotel, New York city, she
told him to forward the letter to Chicago.
Nervously she let 1t fall iato the gaping
mouth Of the mailbag. The stage took 1t on
Its way that night.

The carpenter stopped hammering and
came to where the postmistress was tanning
herself. He was shuffiing awk wardly half a
dozen letters, yellow with age and somewhat
rat eaten.
'.See here, Lyddy, are these any good?"
asked he. holding out the letters. 81 found
'em down behind the wainscoting. I s'pose
they're just trash what got brushed aside, an

The postmistress of Canaan Corners took
the letters with but little show of interest,
People were always running to her with trifies
and asking her unnecessary questions.

Death Rute Was Normal.

The health conditions of the city as shown
by the returns at the health department for
the past week exhibit no new features. The
death rate was normal. In fact mortality
continues to decline. The contagious dis
eases as well as those of the lungs are shown
to be almost in complete abeyance. there hav-
ing been but one fatal case each OF whooping

said eyes, he would come back to Canaan
Corners and they would go to Chicago.
Bravely had she penned a favorable answer,
and then she waited. All, the dying of great
hope! How tenaciously it clings to life! How
anxiously she awaited tidings from John But
terworth! But none came. The summers
came and went. Twenty-Five years ago, and
she had been thinking Of John But.erworth
that day.
ssLooks ez If rats had chawed 'em some,
don't it?" asked the carpenter as Lydia
stepped closer to the window to inspect the
musty letters.

The red sun turned black. The Canaan

and bobbing up and down. A hurricane
seemed to catch her and dash her head

The blistering July day was drawing to a
close. 1t seemed to Lydia Spencer as if
Canaan Corners had never been so hot or SO
dreary before. She was postmistress and
store clerk at the Corners. Day after day
for years she had sorted over the stage mails,
the county papers, and the letters. The day
had been Il busy one in the store, and tc add

Florence McDevill yesterday entered suit
against the lexington and Soldiers Home
Railway Company. placing her damages at
$4,000. The suit is due to the alleged failure
of the railway company to run its cars to
Lincoln avenue as agreed upon in the con-
tract between her and the company April 4,
1889, when she sold sixty feet of her property
to the company for right of way through
her property, known as "Part of Prospect"
on which to lay its rails. She and her hus-
band also paid the company $500 to extend

the driver. "She's postmisrress, an every

Had she seen him coming? Everything was
still in the post-office when John Butterworth

saw a golden haired woman, her face close to
