DISTRICT JAIL.
Conditions Prevailing There Are Very
FEW III

Conditions Prevailing There Are Very
Favorable.
Attorney General Harmon has received the
report of John r. Leonard, warden of the
United States jail in the District, covering
operations for the past fiscal year. He says
that during the spring several necessary i'm
provements were made. including a bake
oven range and minor changes in the
kitchen.
The water closets were overhauled and
new one added, and necessary repairs were
made to the stable and watchman's box.
1.-The building is in need of new roof" he
says, "for. although it was repaired year
ago. and will possibly last through the COM
ing winter, it leaks badly in several places
during a heavy rain. and as a whole it is
in a bad condition. No fault can be found
with the contractors for supplies. They are
giving entire satisfaction. The Jail is in
good sanitary condition, and 1 have no sug-
gestions to make on that subject. We are
indebted to the Department of Justice and
to the honorable judges of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia and the
United States district attorney for their
assistance and for their promptness in dis
posing of those cases held for trial"
The warden incloses a copy of the report of
DR.. d. X. Shute. physician to the Jail, re-
garding the medical affairs of the institu-
ton, from which it appears that there was
but one death during the year. This was
case of suicide, and was entirely unforeseen
and unexpected, and under the circum-
stances, could not have been prevented. LAS
a whole" says DR.. Shute, 1.-The health of the
prisoners and officers of the Jail has Eeen
very good. During the months of September
and October, on account of the close proxim-
ity Of the jail to the marshes of the Eastern
branch OF the Potomac, an unusually large
number of both prisoners and officers were
affected with severe attacks Of malarial
fever The life of one prisoner was seriously
imperiled on account of the protracted and
repeated attacks of malarial fever, inducing
repeated and dangerous hemorrnages from
his nose"

BEAUTY IN PROPULSION,

A Rare Display of Chrysan he III u ms
and other Flowers Now in Progress.
There are chrysanthemum shows and
chrysanthemum shows, but that in progress
at the popular establishment of A. GUIDE &
Brother No. 1924 F street, is deserving of
a high distinctive position in the calendar
of such displays. 1t may be better styled a
flower show, for while many and remark
able specimens of rare chrysanthemums are
shown in rich abundance, there is also a
profuse arrangement of exquisite roses and
carnations, while banks of purple violets
fill the atmosphere with their sweet per-
fume. Some Of the specimens of chrysan-
themums shown are the wonderful pitcher
and Manda'-immense blooms with golden
centers and white edges-the Golden We'd
ding" the Lincoln the Miss Minnie
Wanamaker," the IL. C. Maiden" the Louis
Bochmer," the Eugene Dalledens." and a
host Of Others showing the perfection to
which chrysanthemum culture has been
brought. Great masses of American beauty
and other roses, and beds of violets are in
terspersed among the chrysanthemums,
which nestle in maiden-hair and the rare
adientum farleyense ferns.
In the rear apartment the Messrs GUIDE
have prepared a novel and striking effect.
A table is laid for ten persons with appro-
pirate silver ware, cut glass, delicate china
and handsome candelabra, and decorated
with American beauty roses. There is a
corsage bouquet and a boutonniere of the
same flower at the alternate plates and
the result is very pretty. GUIDE & Brothers

INSTRUCTION OF CADETS,
A Change in the Method in the Rev

A Change in the Method in the Rev
enue Cutter Service.
The Treasury Department has made q
change in the method of instructing cadets
in the revenue cutter service, so that here
after they will be given practical lessons
only in seamanship ordnance and the actual
duties of officers. Years ago cadets were
taken in the service but poorly prepared,
and an education in the rudimentary
b, anches was required before they Were
competent to take up the higher professional
work. Now, however the examinations
have been made more rigid and the subjects
covered extended, so that cadets are well
educated on entering and do not require
further instruction. The steamer Chase is
being fitted out at Baltimore and will soon
be ready to start on winters cruise to the
West Indies fully manned with instructors,
officers and men.

In IFS long possession ofpow

undertook to establish hi

rule, we may expect that it
never will.

did lend its approval to any

did these exceedingly strict in
dividual ever persuade them
selves to b.. Democrats at all?
There has been, fortunately, no
obscurity in the treatment of
tlie coinage question by the
Democratic party. Therefore
NO extremist can truthfully say
that he has been deceived into

Der of gold grains to be the
