ONE OF oUR SMELL MARKS.

Notwithstanding the fact that ouI beauti-
fUl city has made great progress and has
outgIowu most Of its old land marks. ancient
customs and antiquated methods, we still
permit one concern 10 thrive that is too old,
too obnoxious and too great a nuisance to
be buried in the past. 1t is so venerated
as 10 smell Of aged iniquity, Of a corruption
that has gIown putrescent with time, and
SIS never ceasing effluvia VIII putrify any
thing not longer dead than itself In all
other advanced cities this rank, horrible
nose prisoner, has long since given place TO
modern reduction systems, and why Patsy
Mann's rendering establishment should yet
remain to taint the atmosphere is conun-
drum none but the Commissioners can
answer.
There are things louder than noises, more
noxious than putrefaction, more expressive
than words, more persuasive Than argu-
ment, ard if the health officer and Commits
sioners would follow their roses TO Gies-
boro Point they would scent out a way
60 get rid Of that rendering nuisance.
If all the smells OF Patsy Mann's cavern
could he gathered in the clouds, an aerial
island would be formed that would be
deep enough and broad enough to bury the
sins OF the world, ard, like them, it would
represent the foulest mass OF corruption
that human mind can comprehend.
Now let the city be nd Of this nuisarce.
Its system Of disposing of defunct animals
1s way behind the times 1T is pestilence
breeder, and should be done away with
as soon as possible. 1t is a landmark, az
well as a srneR-mark, that Washington car

rate of wages they could govern their bids

A newspaper that tries to throw cold
water on an effort to compel contractors
TO pay uniform rate of wages is not
worthy of labor support. Had it been
sincere in desiring District workingmen to
Profit by a favorable decision, no effort
would have been made to prejudice the
opinion of Attorney Thomas. In any event
it would have been better to have remained
silent until the question was settled rather
than to discourage workingmen by direful

Policeman Barbee Lost No Time in
Dealing with Richard Meany.
Policeman Barbee had quite tussel with
a gang of .toughs'' on the corner OF Four
teenth and L streets about l 1 O'Clock Ia st
night, and but for the officers muscular
arm and the timely appearance of Police
man Narrower, Barbee might have been
severely dealt with by the roughs.

Last night Sergt. Jores notified Pa

later placed Michael O'Hare, an alleged
member of "Meany's garg," under arrest
for profanity.

Flow of yellow Metal Sets In Again

Between the close of business Saturday
and yesterday the Treasury gained almost
all the gold it had lost during the past
two weeks, the increase since Saturday be-
ing S1,s69, ,S6S.
This sudden accumulation of gold at
tracted considerable attention, and it was
supposed that it was due to some action on
the part of the bond syndicate.
Secretary Curtis, however, said that this
was not true so far as the Treasury was ad-
vised The increase, he said, came almost
allin the ordinary cOurseOf business andwas
due to an exchange of gold for bills prob
ably caused by the settlement OF accounts

not infrequent. The reserve amounted TO

PREJUDICIAL CROAKING.

Inasmuch as an effort has been made
TO discount the opinion of Attorney Thomas,
ana make it appear that he cannot do other
wise than interpret the law on letting
contracts other t5au as against the request
ofthe Federation of Labor for the maximum
rate of wages, it might be well to examine
the law from a labor standpoint, and also
TO remember that, sometimes, good cases
are defeated by ill-advised newspaper
croaking. That part OF the law which
relates TO the letting Of contracts reads as
follows:
THAT hereafter when any repairs OF
streets, avenues, alleys or sewers within
the District of Columbia are to be made
or when new pavements are to substi-
tuted in place of those worn out. new ones
laid or new streets opened, sewers built or
any works, the total cost OF which shall
exceed the sum of $1,000 notice shall
be given i'll one newspaper in Washington
and il the total cost shall exceed $4,000

Granting, as argued, that proposals were
advertised for in New York, Philadel-

AN OPERA BoUFFE INSULT.

The whole diplomatic world is agitated
by an opera bouffe insult to an American
citizen.
A New Yorker named Stern is blessed
with wealth and a lively son. With both
he has been soJourning at Kissingen, the
famous Spa in Southern Bohemia.
Herr Won Thuengen, the comic opera
deputy commissioner of the Spa, forbade
young Stern to attend public bail, be-
cause of his youth. The latter, being an
American, could not see that his age, or
want of it, barred him from terpsicaorean
fun, and so he danced to his hearts con-
tent, and probably 10 the content OF some
other hearts.
The offense was sufficiently serious,
however. to evoke an apology from Stern
pere TO the outraged deputy commissioner.
But the apology did not go.
Mr. Stern was arrested for his sons
crime. A United States consul came to
his aid. but all that could be accom-
plished was to secure a release upon heavy
bail, and on the condition that Mr.. Stern
should not leave his hotel even to drive or
promenade.
Obedience to petty officials Of petty ma
tions is one OF the luxuries open 10 Ameri-
cans who insist on spending their money
and their time abroad, and many will say
that Mr.. Stern has 10 reason to complain.
However, the fact remains that an Ameri-
can citizen has been insulted, and vigorous
action ny fhe Stata DpDarfnont is called
for Will it be forthcoming?
England can teach US d few lessons in

Druggist Mertz Quickly Won
From Newman, the Usurer.
GILL & co. THE CAUSE OF IT
The Street Merchant Came to the
Rescue of the Candy makers and
Was Sued by the Money-Lender.
Justice O'NeiIs Jury Speedily
Reached a Decision.

That prince of ofsaylocks, ,Myer B. Newman,
again fell into the bands of jury yesterday
in O'Neil's court, and it took them only till
the roll was called 10 give Judgment against
him in one of his worst cases.
In brief, Gill & Son, the F street con-
fectioners, made two bills of sale TO
Newman OF the face value OF $50 and $65.
Newman testified that the interest stipu-
lated was per cent. Mr.. Gill, however,
stated that they received but $40 on the
$50 note and $32 so for the smaller
note; and that the second trust Included the
first one.
The usual renewal fees were paid at
the rate OF 10 per cent. per month. Mr..
Gill paid S24 in interest alone, but before
the transaction was completed Newman
had seized horse and wagon and a set of
harness, which together were worth $105
TO Newman exclusive of the $50 which
he paid for them at the forced sale.
STILL IN HIS DEBT.
The S105 and the $24 in interest made
1929 that Gill & Son had paid, and Newman
claims that they still owe him about $50.
III order 70 get all there was i'll sight New
man made raid on certain property in Mr.
Gills store some days ago with consta ables,
wagons, and other paraphernalia. DR..
L. V. MertZ, the weII-known druggist,
however, had lien on the property and he
prevented the seizure. Then Mr. New
man sued Dr. Mertz for the property.
Mr.. Newman was represented by Mr..
Greed NJ. Fulton and Mr. MertZ by Mr. +.
A. Thomas The latter attorney IN the
course OF his remarks, intimated that any
body who could figure and do multiplication
like Mr.. Newman ougth to get nch in
somewhat less than ten years.
One OF the witnesses for Mr.. Mertz was
the GENIAL Col. Ed. Hay, who easily and
politely explained that the property New
man was suing for belonged TO him, Col
Hay, and that threw u wet blanket all
over the prosecution.
The property in question had been levied
on and brought in by Col. Hay aAd he was
now the owner OF record, MTs.-Gin being
the real owner.
JUDGE o'NEL SMOKED.
Mr.. Newman said that a married woman
couldn't OVID any property and there were
several speeches on this point. Judge
O'Nel had nothing TO do with the case
and wassInOkingquietIy neutrality-suspicious.
while this was going on.
In the meanwhile 1T was shown by DR..
Merit that lie had superior lieu oD the
property for reUt. The strong point OF
the defense was that the contracts and
papers spoke for themselves aud that
Newman's case should be SO decided.
Mr.. T. L. Spencer was, however, fore
man Of the jury, and they looked somewhat
deeper than the papers, and unrofied the
taugle in few seconds, giving Judgment
for Dr. MertZ.
( The funny part Of the business was that
