quest was made told him to wait until
Monday morning. He left during
the night, taking his personal effects
with him. Galloway did not ask per-
mission, but left at the same time as
Curran, and the supposition is that
both were implicated in the Red
Wing affair.
Private Blanchard, of Co. c., Third
United States Infantry, deserted Sat-
urday morning. Blanchard was doing
guard duty near the colonel's quarters
at the time. About 10 o'clock the
officer of the day approached the COM
manders's tent, accompanied by the
superintendent of the Red Wing
Training school. They entered into
conversation and Blanchard at once
called to the corporal and complained
of being sick. He asked leave to alb
sent himself from duty for the balance
of his relief, which was only to con-
tinue for few minutes. He told the
corporal that he had been suddenly
seized with severe attack of diarhoea
and must be relieved at once. Just
at this moment the officer of the day
was seen approaching from the
colonePs tent. The sick man grew
suddenly pale as death, and the
corporal, thinking that he was serious
ly i'll, told him to go at once. Blanch-
ard started hurriedly for the woods in
the rear of the camp. The officer of
the day delivered an unimportant
order to the corporal and returned to
the coloneps tent. Nothing has been
seen of Blanchard since.
Private Henry Ray and Sergt. Carl
Moricraft we're also arrested charged
with being implicated in the escape.

THE EARLY PIE.
An Ohio Paper Thinks They We're
the Best,

That aggressive and excellent pa
per, The Sun, is opening, indeed has
opened, campaign on pie, holding
vigorously that pie should be 50 con-
structed as to be eaten out of hand,
says the Toledo Sunday Journal.
In this particular few who have
bright memories of the pies mother
made will offer criticism. The pies
of the days before the war were a dis
tinct and radically superior article to
those which now appear, pale and
watery, from the modern kitchen.
Then pie was thing of glory; to be
worshipped with longing eyes, saluted
with watering chops; regarded with
hungry emotions, and eaten with pro-
found and grateful reverence, until
safety came with the last laky crumb.
When does anyone remember of ask
ing for a fork? Or spoon? Perish
the idea! No need of either there.
That pie would melt in your mouth,
stife your nostrils with it's divine
odor, and satisfy even your childish
appetite, and never drop of juice
fall to the spotless floor below.
But how different now. We are
supplied with an intricately interlaced
affair, whereof the contents are so di-
luted that in place of fork, one re-
quires spoon, if not sponge. The
bottom crust is soggy and heavy, alb
solutely leaden in composition. Of
course we need forks now, even to get
the crust. It is so tough. Those
who have eaten mothers pies in the
old days will agree with The Sun that
it is on the right path when it assails
the custom of eating pie with a fork,
and it is to be presumed that the able
paper named has a deeper object than
to drive out this absurdity, and hopes
to see revived the pie that was itself
ample and abundant cause for being
eaten out of hand.

Mail Delivery Suggestions.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1 do not write this for the pur-
pose of finding fault, just because The Star
wrinkles for all who have something to
say, but really because l want to know
you know" My remarks relate to the
local postal service. Why, to begin WITH
was the o'clock collection in the business
part of the city stopped? Why the 4:3O
delivery? In order to insure the delivery
of a letter the same afternoon 1 find 1
must now have it in the box previous to
30 pm. If l drop it later it is delivered
in the morning. Now, isn't that rather
slow for a city like Washington? I know
it is mighty fnconvenient, and neCessitates
the purchase of many special delivery
stamp that ought not to be required
Again. the last delivery in the business
section of the city, at 30 pm. has been
discontinued. This, too, seems to be MAX
ing progress backward. To he sure, the
town is now blessed with collection after
midnight, but what intelligent reason for
that can exist? The hotels and the district
wherein most of the correspondents hu-
reaus are located were already accommo-
dated with an IL pm. collection. and for
the balance of the city, surely, the o D. M
collector was ample I can see no use for
this midGe-of-the-night collection. ard so
far haven't found an Intelligent man who
can. Let the energy utilized - thrown
away, rather-in this midnight service he
awaited of in the day deliveries and col
lections. and I think 1.-The greatest good
TO the greatest number will be attained.
Another circumstance in relation to this
In my opinion, unnecessary-service: 1t is a
clear violation of the eight-hour law The
carriers detailed for the service begin the
days work at pm, continue until 1890 at
night, and are then relieved until half an
hour after midnight. Then they return to
duty until 2 o'clock in the morning OF
course, they are in actual service just eight
hours and no more. But. to all intents and
purposes they might as well have been en-
ployed between 1870 pm. and the half
hour after midnight For what use, either
for recreation or business are these two
hours in the middle of the night? The in
genous mind which thus whipsawed the
eight-hour law might just as well have de-
tailed the mon so employed for twenty min
utes every hour of the dav. and kept within
the letter of the law. Why is 1t that it is
so hard to have this same law enforced as
faithfully as other laws area. Ever since
its passage there seem to have heen more
efforts put forth to find ways and means to
defeat its purpose than to give it effect.
However. as to our mail facilities: Give us
better service in the daytime and let the
carriers go home at night to their families

GRIDIRON PLEASURES,
President Stevens Introduces Some
Brilliant Innovations.


The big annual dinner of the Gridiron
Club is famous throughout the land for its
brilliant program, its after dinner oratory
by the famous speakers of the country
Chauncey Depew, Tom Reed and others
its special gridiron features of roasting pub
lie characters, its music, its cuisine and it's
go" altogether, but for pure unmixed en-
joymeut these grand entertainments do not
compare with gatherings, such as the I'm
formal lunch" given by President Stevens
to the club Wednesday evening at the Ra-
leigh. The cozy supper room was just the
SIZE to bring all the members together with
in sociable touch. Then there was the
delightfully."- informal menu, and the taking
new feature introduced by President
Stevens of calling upon all the possible
candidates for the presidency of the club
to preside for ten-minute terms, to show
their capabilities This developed immense
latent talent all around the board, and
made the club vastly proud of itself The
musical features of the evening were never
mere enjoyable and appreciated. The affair
was great success all around, and there
was a general expression of opinion that
the club ought to keep up it's enjoyable
monthly entertainments. and not content
itself with the great annual dinner.

PLAYING POLICY,
Judge kimbaH Surprised That the
Wheel Still turns.


Judge Kimball was very much surprised
today when Sergt. Daley got on the stand
in court and told of how the policy shops at
Jackson City are being conducted openly
and without any attempt at concea lment
The judge thought that the recent raid had
affected the gambling establishments of all
kinds along the bank of the Potomac in the
Old Dominion, but in light of Sergt. Daley's
assertion the judge concluded that there is
a chance for more work to be done 1t is
likely that some action against these pao-
pie will be taken in the near future. for
Detective Baldwin, who conducted the up
river raid, is still here, and rumor has it
that he is collecting evidence against the
class of gamblers mentioned, prepare tory to
making a raid.

Pollard. a South Washington colored man.
was the prisoner, and the charge against
him was vagrancy. His arrest was made
policy law, but there was no evidence of
this nature found on him.
Sergt. Daley told the court that Pollard
had been convicted two or three times of
violations of the policy law several years
ago. Now. the prisoner has no visible means
of support here, and the officer said that he
had been visiting saloons in South Wash
ington in the morning before going over to
jackson City. On one occasion the officer
followed him over there and saw him writ
ing policy in a saloon.
Il don't know nothin' bout policy" said
the prisoner. Il used to be in the business,
but amt in it no mo-"
What is your business now?" the judge
asked.
Il work in George. Miles saloon, over the
river"
Judge Kin,ball told the prisoner that he
would have to give bond in the sum of 800
or go down for one month. He went down.
