WATER MAIN ASSESSMENTS.

Decided to Be Invalid Where Season.
able Notice Was Not Given.
In rendering his decision in the cases
Of Burgdorf and others against the Dis
trict of Columbia, Chief Justice Bingham
yesterday held that assessments against
real estate for the laying of water mains
are invalid where notice was not given to
interested land owners until after the i'm
provements or assessments had been made.
The cases were fully argued on the Goth of
last month, and the points mentioned by
Chief Justice Bingham and several others
were insisted upon by the counsel for the
plaintiffs, Messrs. A. A and T. w. Birney
and Gen. VIM. Birney. But Judge Bing
ham, following the decision Of the Court
of Appeals in the matter Of the construo-
ton Of sewers and the laying of sidewalks,
cutters and curling. holds that the want
Of sufficient previous notice sufhces. The
Court Of Appeals. he declares. held that
before the property of citizen could be
taxed for the purpose Of paying for an
improvement upon the presumed ground
that it was beneficial to him and his prop
erty to the extent Of taxation, there must
have been given him 'seasonable notice"
Such notice, the court explains. is for the
purpose Of enabling the citizen to appear
and resist II he 30 desires. the making Of
the contemplated Improvement, and q
notice given after the Improvements had
been ordered and completed. and after the
making Of the assessments. Is notice
given too late to sustain the assessments.
Therefore. explained Chief Justice Bing-
ham, in those cases whore such tardy
notice Is given the assessment Is invalid
and void. and neither the property nor
owner can be held responsible.
Judge Bingham held that the reasoning
and conclusions Of the Court Of Appeals
can be equally well applied to the laying Of
water mains, holding that 1t is not enough
for the District authorities to themselves
decide without reasonable notice to all in
terested land owners that the laying of
water main is a necessary improvement.
and then, making the improvement, an
nounce that the property has been assessed
therefor. Explaining that he could not dis
tinguish such a case from those decided by
the Court Of Appeals. the Judge held that
the plaintiffs are entitled to the judgments
prayed for, the amount of the Illegally
made assessments. and directed judgments
to be entered accordingly.
It Is understood that in the cases in bar.
and in those which will undoubtedly follow.
several hundred thousand dollars are in
volved, and that tho District may have
another chance to save such great loss
an appeal to the Court Of Appeals will be-
It is said. taken by the District.

Brought Back the Money.

An incident occurred yesterday which
shows that there is a strong sense Of honor
in those who are helped. A poor colored
woman in South Washington asked the
police some days ago for . coat or shawl
to keep her warm when she went out to
work for her children.
They gave her an old mans coat in
petty good order, and while not exactly
the style for q woman. 1t probably suited
her quite as well or better than the best
sort Of q woman's cloak. She took the
garment and went about her work. Yes
terday she came back to say that she had
forgot at first to look through the pockets,
but when she did so yesterday morning
she had found a dollar bill in the ticket
pocket She handed 1t over, saying 1t must
belong to the man who gave the coat to
the police. There was no way of finding
who gave the coat, and 1t was inferred
that the giver had intended the dollar to
go with the coat, SO the woman was told
to keep it. and she went away very thank

GRADUAL FALLING OFF
Demands Upon the Charity Organizations
Becoming Less Urgent.
The Character of the People Who
Have Sought Aid and the
Eject on Them.

The charity snow carts are Just working
hard today to get the snow and ice out Of
the streets before 1t all melts and gets
away from them. Thirty nonresident men
who smuggled themselves into the Iorce
were laid OF this morning, and there were
100 applicants gathered in Q throng about
the doors Of the committee rooms on
Louisiana avenue at o'clock this morn
ing, ready to take the vacant places. ALI
day applications struggled in, and a score
came by letter from people who had some
particular case OF need which they wanted
to recommend for help by employment
The committee took down names, but gave
no encouragement to these applicants.
They answer all such by saying that no
change will be made In the force as 1t
stands. The committee met at 1 O'CLOCK
today to consider this matter, but no
definite action was taken. A small pile OF
clothing remains in the committee room.
but 1t consists of garments set apart for
special cases in charge Of the police. and 1t
Will be distributed today and tomorrow.
The Soup kitchens.
The committe sent 200 loaves of bread to
the East Washington soup kitchen today,
which was the only distribution Of food
made. The soup kitchen on Louisiana
avenue opened its doors as usual today
ard fed 800 people. The authorities say
the work Of patching the asphalt on Penn
slyvania avenue, which began this morn.
ing, gives employment to the heads of
about thirty families that have been de-
pendent on charity during a part Of the
winter. There was throng of applicants
for help at the Central Union Mission
rooms at noon and quite crowd at the
central office Of the Associated Charities
all day. Supplies were given out sparingly.
Some Of the Poor.
The misdemeanors Of some Of the poor
who have sought aid or have secured en-
ployment on the charity force should not
prejudice the public against helping those
who deserve assistance. There are several
old men handling a shovel this week on
the streets who never did such work or
anything like 1t before. There have been
many helped this winter who only a year
or two ago enjoyed good salaries In the
public service. One young fellow who has
worked for his board at one Of the aid
bureaus graduated at Yale not so very
many years ago. He Is an athletic, good
looking, gentlemanly young man, who SO
far in the battle of life. as the boys say,
hasn't been 1t. He is grateful for what he
has had q chance to earn. and hopes to
make his luck stand up and go alone
some good day coming.

EXPLANATORY.

A year ago this week we resumed bust
ness at 246 Middle street. Twenty
seven years. experience in the Dry
Goods business has led us to believe
that one man to direct, manage and
profit by his own efforts in this line
of trade, could build UP patronage
in this city that any merchant would
be proud of.
Twelve months have gone by and we
have every reason to be satisfied
with the result of our labors, and
are more than ever welded to our
theory.
The secret of our first years success is
due to close buying, moderate ex-
pense in conducting the business,
and liberal patronage. Without the
latter all our efforts would have been
in vain.
AS slight token of our appreciation of
the support the public has given us,
this week shall be an Anniversary
Week Sale. Every department will
be represented, and prices have been
cut below any figures ever offered
on the same grade of goods in this
city.
This is to be genuine benefit sale. We
have no old and shop-worn goods to
work off, and offer you only fresh,
first-class goods, including the very
latest arrivals in Spring Dress
Goods.
Not the smallest evidence that this sale
is to be bona fide sale. is our offer
to share profits on Friday Sales
with the two institutions mentioned
above.
Those who help themselves help others.
Help yourself to our stock this
week, and you will not only help
us, but two worthy organizations
besides. <.

his ingenious hand fashioned the mod
els by which the inventor illustrated
and applied his inventions.
The name Of Morey What throng
of historic memories cluster about it.
1t is inseparably connected with the
earliest and late history Of Fairlee.
Gen. Israel Morey was the father of his
town, and owned large share of it.
He was born in Hebron, Conn.,, in
1885. In October, l765, with his lit
tie family, his wife carrying an infant
six months old in her arms, he made
the long journey from Connecticut to
Oxford, with an OK team, the last part
of the route being an unbroken wilder
ness, with a narrow trail marked by
blazed trees. His wife was Martha
Palmer Of Hebron, Conn.,, and she
bore him five sons and two daughters.
The first organization of the town of
Fairlee was effected at Oxford at the
home of Gen. Morey. In 1882 he
moved TO Fairlee, occupied mis- large
tract of land, and built the first saw
and grist mill on Pond brook. "He
procured charter for the first ferry
across the Connecticut river at this
place, which was the only mode of
communication between Fairlee and
Oxford until 1902, when the first bridge
was built connecting the two towns"
and this formerly toll bridge has be-
come free bridge by concurrent &C.
ton of both towns.
Gen. Morey was notable figure of
his time, a delegate to the constitutional
convention, a man of rare natural abil
ity, a practical surveyor and skilled
