SMITH WAS SENTENCED.
Convicted Stamp RObber Gets Three
Years and Half.


VIM. 3. Smith, who was convicted last
week of stealing 10000 two-cent postage
stamps frcE the bureau Of engraving and
printing last summer. was sentenced today
by Judge McComas to three years and six
months il the Albany penitentiary-
A motion for new trial and in arrest
of judgment was argued by Mr.. o. b. Hal
lam on behalf of the defendant, AIR. Hal
lam contending that the indictment was
fatally defective because it alleged merely
that his client stole and purioincd the
stamps. tt indictment, he argued, should
have alleged that Smith stole and carried
away the stamps-that the crime of lar
ccny was not completed because the in
dictrnent failed to alIese that the defend
ant stole and carried away the stamps.
Judge McConias. however, held that the
crime alleged, larceny from the United
States, was a statutory one, and the words
of the statute, set out in the Indictment,
were sufficiently explicit. Besides, stated
the court the term did steal and pur-
lcin'' clearly indicated the nature of the
offense. The motions were, therefore, over
ruled
When asked what he had to say " ny SEN
tence should not be pronounced, STSIth
tedrfully asked the mercy of the court, eN-
planning that he did SO because of his
parents and wife as well as for himself
He acknowledged that his life had not
been the one that it should have been,
but declared that he would, upon his
turn from prison, make it henceforth all it
should be. He iDtimated that others here
would yet beseech his forgiveness and pub-
licly thanked his counsel for the services
rendered him without the least remunera,
tiCn.
Judge McComas, in imposing sentence,
made no comments whatever, except the
statement that he mad considered the time
Smith had spent in Jail since his arres, in
October last.

several days ago of receiving the stamps

new trial has been made, went over until

NEW QUARTERS.
The Health Office VIII Remove on

February L.
The health department will be removed
about February L from Its present loca-
ton, in the HELEN building on ID street
near 9TH street northwest, to the new build
ing of the Washington Title Insurance
Company, Oh Indiana avenue, adjoining
police headquarters. where 1t will have
much more commodious quarters, the en-
tire first floor having been leased, and this
will be fitted up in a manner that will
greatly facilitate the transaction of public
business.
Health Officer Woodward has long been
dissatisfied with his present quarters, as
the building, although it has been occupied
for many years. is WI oily unsuited for the
use of such an important department as
that of which he is the head, al.e several
days ago he had a conference with the
Commissioners on the subject Late yes
terday afternoon the Commissioners ap-
proved DIR. Woodward's recommendation
in this regard, and also that Kate y. Hell
len, who hss control of the d street build
ing, be notified of the intention of the
health department to vacate the premises.
In their new quarters the health depart
ment will be directly connected with the
police department.

track, also to Gov. Browns obliviousness of
prize fights at the Bladensburg Club House.

authorities have failed to set good exam
PIE respecting politeness toward ones
neighbors or interstate comfy. Montgom-
cry, the county Immediately north of Wash
ington, has on several occasions declared
in most emphatic way at the polls in
favor of local option and the sale of intoxi-
cantS has been prohibited by law in that
county for a number of years past. On the
other hand, the District Commissioners
and excise board have a free discretion as
to giving withholding wholesale licenses
to sell liquor in the District of Columbia.
The law and the sentiment of Montgomery
county have on several OCCASIONS been
brought to the attention of the Commits
sioners by private individuals and by sew
eral petitions, yet the Commissioners have
in one instance, certainly, where 9TH street
enters Maryland, and possibly in others,
granted a wholesale license to a dealer
whose house is almost touched by the
Montgomery county line.
The DRINKS from such establish
ment could reach local option county in
one Stagger, the whole constituting blow
and sentiment on the liquor selling oueS-
ton are far in advance of the city of
Washington. This is rather a remarkable
case, the liquor dealer was unable un-
der the law, to secure a retail license by
reason of the opposition of his neighborS.
About four-fiftlS of the land owners for
mile or more north in Montgomery county,
and for the same distance south in the
District of Columbia, have united in cp-
posing the starting of liquor selling in this
heretofore quiet neighborhood, notwith-
standing which the District authorities
voluntarily granted this wholesale license
The position of the petitioners rom the
Maryland side was substantially, first, that
the Commissioners ought not to exercise
their discretion so as to nullify in part the
laws of neighboring state, and, second,
that all liquor selling in the District should
be done mile or more from the line so
that the District can catch and restrain
those who get drunk under it's licenses
There are of course, a few old soakers
stitute a market, but If the District will
clasp them to it's bosom for reasons of
profit it should take them well inside it's
outer garment and keep them until sober

Prince Georges county so shocking to the
good people OF the District would REQUIRE

Associated Press Dispatch
WASHINGTON, January 1S.-The Even
ing Star, the leading newspaper of this
city, gave pound party today for the
benefit Of the poor of the city, who have
been suffering severely this winter. Every
one was asked to bring a pound Of some
thing useful
The response was most generous, over
one hundred wagon loads Of provisions
being contributed. OF this four loads were
of -four and the rest was nearly all Of a
substantial and nourishing character. A
few persons sent golden English pounds"
sterling, others pounds of copper cents.
Many articles were brought in private car
raiges, occupied by fashionably dressed
ladies, but the greater part were from
people Of moderate means, some Of them
poor people themselves.
About half the provisions came to the
main Star office and the rest to branch
offices.
The food will be distributed through the
regular charity organizations of the city.
The Star is being everywhere congratu-
lated on the splendid results Of it's efforts.
Tons of Good Things.
From the Washington Post.
The Evening Stars big pound party yes
terday was a decided success. The pounds
of the individual giver amounted to tons
before the day was over, and the result is
a big supply of material that will be care
fully used in alleviating distress.
WOULD be impossible in small space to
enumerate all, even of the strikinely big
contributions, but the general result was
all that could be desired, and the result.

those who attended The Stars pound party
yesterday have grown into tons. The large
room in The Star building where all these
contributions were received had the ap-
pearance this morning of several retail
grocery stores consolidated into one. There
were literally mountains-not merely piles
of all sorts of eatables about the loom, and
1t seemed as if there was no need that any
one in the city should so hungry. Today
the work of distribution was begun. Mr.
Lawrence Gardner the chairman of the
distributing committee of the citizens CEN
trail relief committee, paid visit early in
the day to the headquarters of the pound
party. He expressed surprise and gratitca-
ton, as. indeed. every one does, at this
splendid testimonial to the generosity and
sympathy of the people of Washington.
The contributions were apportoned be-
tween the various charitable distributing
agencies of the city. and, according to the

From the Evening News.
The great evening journal which shines
in so many family circles in Washington
lends its columns to a cause that honors 1t
far more than another could. Its pound
party will in the future bring it more OF
reverence than the wealth which rewards
it's enterprise. y Indications are that
the big pound party being conducted by
The Evening Star will result in manlfoid
blessings to the deserving deStituta OF the
city. The charitable of the city are re-
spending nobly to che solicitations of the

The Evening Star, Washington, u. c..
Gentlemen: When the suggestion was first
made in The Star that u pound party
would be held for the benefit Of The poor
the idea struck me good one, and l
thought that considerable good could be
accomplished. The results, however, have
demonstrated that the estimate was en-
tirely too conservative: the proceeds of the
party have far exceeded anything that
could possibly have been expected, and the
good that will be accomplished through
your efforts will undoubtedly bring down
the blessings of the poor on The Evening
Star and it's proprietors
While no Official action has yet been
taken by our committee on distribution, l
have been requested by the individual
members of the committee to express their
thanks for the great assistance rendered.
Very respectfully,
LAWRENCE GARDNER,
Chairman Committee on Distribution.

The contributions to the pound party
continued to come in until a late hour
yesterday afternoon, and this morning
quite a number were received. 1t is almost
impossible to give the readers of The Star
an idea of the amount of food material
which came to The Star building in re-
sponsc to suggestion of pound party
for the benefit of the suffering poor.
Only those who visited headquarters ana
saw the great array appreciate the
extent and the magnitude of the response
which was made to the appeal. There are
several facts which may be of use in en-
abling those who were unable to make a
personal visit to form some conception Of
the unique spectacle. 1t is safe to say that
the like of 1T has never before been Seen
in this city. But here are some facts. One
of the grocers of the city, and he did not
by any means furnish the largest Quanti-
ty, states that he filled orders of food ma
terial to be sent to The Stars pound party
amounting to between 5000 and 600
pounds. One of the large Touring concerns
was SO pressed with orders for flour fer
the pound party that it was obliged to en-
ploy an extra force.
A COmmendabIe Public Spirit.
1t is estimated that about ten tons Of
potatoes were received and an equal
amount of flour. In addition. it is believed
that between forty and fifty tons or other
food material was contributed. When it

day. and that from the simple suggestion

In their midst, that more than 100000
pounds has been received and Is now being

conclusion is justified that this is one OF
the most remarkable exhibitions Of public
spirit in the history of the city.
The employees of the interstate commerce
commission sent eighty pounds Of flour
yesterday.
From the employees of S. Kann, Sons 4
Co. came five barrels Of flour.
The Bradbury Piano Company employees
gave twelve bushels of potatoes.
A unique contribution came from the
employees OF Nicol the tailor, in the shape
of one pound of pennies.
