One Way of Helping the Poor.

A correspondent of The Star, writing
about the proposals made to assist worthy
people in need of loans. says: Educate
the poor to cultivate habits of honesty and
to carry out their contracts and to remain
away from Shylocls if they wish to avoid
excessive rates, and not offer to pay more
than the legal rates that they may secure
loan. Let those who are compelled to
borrow, to tide over some tight place. feel
that they must act and be honest with the
lender, and while they are borrowing carry
out plan that they may save and repay
the loan. Acting on the idea that more
money Is made by saving than any other
way, company has been organized in this
city in which each borrower becomes
participant in the profits. thus saving
money while borrowing. He is charged
only per cent per annum, and small
commission each month, and has five
months IN which to repay the loan. Let
the charitable put thet money in such an
institution, upon which they will receive
good returns. and in this way assist the
poor, but honest, to get accommoda tions."

Roping on the Streets.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In The Star few days ago a physician
stated very clearly his objections to the
roping off of tn. streets of our city, and
gave as his opinion that the "roping off,
is oftener done because of a morbid desire
for notoriety OF. the part of somebody rath-
er than for any possible good to be done

in front Of my house was INSTRUCTED for
several days because a man had stomach
ache from too much Christmas.
The question as to how this can best be
done has been solved, and is In practical
operation on Z street between 9Th and Ith
streets southwest, where two board signs
have been erected, about one hundred feet
apart, bearing the words, "Sickness-walk

appears in court as counsel for persons ar
rested, appeared In Judge Kimball's court
this morning in the role of defendant. Po-
liceman Mcdonnell of the eighth precinct
appeared as the prosecuting witness. Riding
q bicycle after shutdown without a lighted
lamp attached was the charge against the
lawyer.
Lawyer Peyton left his home early in the
evening vita his lamp trimmed and burn
ing and went out 10 attend to some bust
ness. When he started home his lamp be-
came so badly disabled, the result of riding
over the rough streets near Florida avenue,
that he threw 1t away. Not wanting to
walk home, the lawyer remained on his
nachine and rode slowly in the direction
OF his home.
Judge Kimball heard the evidence in the
case and accepted the lawyers explanation.

Sent to the Reform School.

John Hunter, a good-looking little boy,
about fifteen years old, was g prisoner be-
fore Judge Miller today because he had con-
verified to his own use property belonging to
another. The boy came here from Phila-
delphia, so he says, and he does not know
whether his parents are living or not. Po-
liceman Herndon employed him about his
dairy, and when the boy was told that his
employment was soon to cease he packed
his valise and got ready to move In doing
so he gathered up a gold ring, some table

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.


The Contagious Hospital Building.
The plans for the erection of the con-
tagious hospital on reservation ID have re-
ceived a decided setback in the shape of
unsatisfactory bids Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the erection and furnishing of
this hospital, and the lowest bid received
by the Commissioners leaves only $3.50
with which to erect disinfecting plant
and equip the building. This bid was sub
mitted by c. Thomas & Son, one of the
seven competitors, it being $15.341. This
bid was for the construction of the main
building and two wings, the structure to
cover the disinfecting plant and the high
masonry wall which is to surround the
whole. During the recent smallpox out
break In this city 1t became necessary for
from the United States government with
which to destroy bedding, clothing and
other articles which had become infected.
and 1t was the great desire of Health Of
ficer Woodward to have a completely
equipped disinfectins plant belonging to
the hospital. so as to obviate the necessity
of borrowing from the government. AS the
lowest bid for this plant was $1,000 how
ever. the two bids could not be accepted, as
the aggregate sum went outside of the ap-
preparation. The Commissioners, therefore,
have not taken any official action on the
bids, and will probably advertise further in
the hope OF getting smaller estimates upon
which to base their calculations. The mat
ter will rest. however, until Dr. Woodward
returns to the city. but as the hospital
must be erected by November l. there is
not much time in which to get other bids,
and have the buildings erected within the
specified period.
Out of the City.
Commissioners Truesdell and Powell are
out of the city, and neither will return I'M
til Monday. Capt. G. ]. Fieberger. Maj.
Powelfs first assistant, is the acting En-

THE COLUMBIA cABLEAiEN.
Their Trouble Still Bubblins and the
End Far on.

End Far on.
The slowly fermenting trouble between
the cablemen on the Columbia road and
their superintendent, Mr.. Boteler, gives
no very decided promise Of cessation. Mr..
Baker. the president of the road. has made
careful inquiry among the men for a week
or more in order to DO able to report to the
directors Of the company the actual state
Of things between the men and the super
fntendent, and he has learned a great
deal Of the nature of the many small and
seemingly trivial offenses that have been
noted against the men. The hearings in
this informal way have not yet been con-
clIded and every man VINO has a griev-
ance will be heard before action Is taken.
1t Is expected that a set hearing, when
beth sides will be heard in each others
presence, will be arranged to take place
some time toward the end of next week
At this hearing the men will be prepared
to present their case in full, with affidevits
ff necessary.
Mr.. Baker says that If 1t is possible
thing the matter shall be settled Justly
and fairly to all concerned. He is ap-
parently impressed with the fact that there
is more in the matter than was at first
thought for, and he is giving a great
deal of time and conscientious attention
to the complaints of the men.
The employees state that the superintend-
ent has rot abated his alleged tyranny,
and has made TIE lot of the Columbia con-
ductors and gripmen not at all a happy
one since the men carried their grievances
to the president of the road. Several men
have been laid off and made to lose pay
for trifing offenses. At the same time 1t
is alleged that the sixteen non-union men
on the road are being favored by the
superintendent, are not punished for pre-
cisely the same offenses committed by the
unicn men, and are given promotion In
preference to the latter The men claim
that 1t is the superintendent intention
to drive the union men off the line by his
des potic treatment of them, and to en-
ploy only non-union employees. The Off
cials of the road disclaim ahy such policy,
and say that there Is a good deal of ex-
aggeration going on.
