A few nights ago some vagabonds en-
tered NJ. A. Sager's yard aud commenced
to make threats aud swear they would
thrash him. When Mr.. Sager got his
gun with the intention of shooting they
PIT out. 1t is pity he did not get to
shoot some of them, as such parties ought
to be crippled and they probably would
behave themselves.
large lot of hands have been passing
through town the last few days enrOute
to Lost City to peel bark. IL looks like
i would be hard for all of them to get
werk.
The Sn,der 4 May Lumber Co. have
quit saving at the Philip Fitzwater
yard, and have moved to c. FitzWateTs,
where they intend saving IN the near
future They have first class machinery
and do first class business.
We have Just learned Of another we'd
dingin our section, the contracting par =
les being Mr.. Chas. Fultz and Miss
Belinda Sherman. The groom is 3 son
OF WIN. J. Fultz. the bride is a daughter
of Abner Sherman. Both parties are well
known and highly thought of by all ho
know them. We wish them long and
happy life.
Two OF orr townsmen took drink of

In burning off his bark ground Mr. II
C. sherman let the fire get out into the

FIRE THE TREA sURY.
1t Was in a Storage Room and Scorcf
ed Some Papers.

1t Was In Storage Room and ScOrch-
ed Some Papers.
An alarm OF fire was sounded at 40
O'Clock yesterday afternoon from box LOG
in the Treasury Department building and
caused considerable excitement in the vicin-
ity of the big white structure.
The flames were in the stationery storage
room, situated in the basement on the north
front of the building. The blaze was ex-
tinguished. before the fire department
reached the scene.
The damage, which was slight, was TO
paper only and to the room. The origin
of the fire is unknown but it is presumed
to have been spontaneous combustion.
Nearly all the clerks had left the build
ing at the time the alarm was given so
there was 10 panic. In the upper part OF
the Treasury building, close under the roof,
an immense mass of inflammablc matter,
consisting of old records stored.
Fire brea king out in that part of the build
ing would be exceedingly dangerous. But
though the necessity of providing fire
proof building for the storage of records
has been urged upon Congress for many
years, NO action has been taken.

COSTLY DINNERS.
The Sultan Worries long on $1,000
Day For Provisions.


BY far the most extrayagant diner in the
world is the Sultan of Turkey. His table
expenses foot up to $4,000 day, or ST.
S25, 900 year.
He does not even have n dining-room
or dining hail. Turkish custom among the
higher classes is for servants to bring the
meals to wherever the diners may be, and
in the palace of STEAMBOAT the menials at
the dinner hour first search out his mai
esty and then, in long procession, bring
the banquet, table aud all.
The table is a silver one, and perhaps the
most exquisite table that has ever been
made. The dishes are covered and sealed
with the imperial seal, which is put on iu
the kitchen by the grand vizier, the idea
being that the Sultan may be certain that
his food has not been poisoned or tampered
with.
All at once the dishes are set upon the
table, vegetables, meats, ices, and COM
futures being arranged in front of His Royal
Highness without any regard to courses
or ordinary dinner regulations The whole
repast is before His Majesty. Then he picks
and chooses, eating the whole simultane-
ously a pick here and a bite there, a mouth.

NOT SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNT.
Libraria anSpoffordE dExplainst lie Nature
Of His Recent Deposit.

-
of His Recent Deposit.
In view of the constructions that have
been placed upon Mr.. spofford's state
ment that nc recently paid to the Treasury
The sum of SEE 400 on his accounts, the
Librarian OF Congress desires that the
following explanation be made public:
He states that the payment was what
he had found TO be the approximate bal-
ance between two accountable Treas
ury owing him for several monthly dis
bursements of library salaries, and he owing
the Treasury copyright fees, the ADJUST
ment OF which had been delayed by his en-
crossment In pressing labors, preventing
close scrutiny and prompt balancing OF
accounts.
During the entire time of this delay,
running from October, 1893, he had con-
tinued to pay into the Treasury every
two or three months copyright fees TO the
amount OF over sos 900 In 1894 and 1895,
exclusive of the S22 400 referred to.
This was the plain state of the case
delayed adjustment OF accounts, ana not
a shortage, as had been widely repre-
sentcd He distinctly denied that the
recent deposit was TO make good any
wrongful Withholding of moneys due to
the government.

STARTED A NEW PARTY.
Mr.. Lubin Says He Is the Farmers
Cha piOn.

Mr. d. Lubin, of Sacramento, Cal, the
gentleman who has carried the idea OF
protection tn its logical conclusion, was in
the city to-day. Mr.. Lubin is endeavoring
to form a third party in the interest of
protection tn all American producers.
His scheme includes n bounty upon all
agricultural products, and bounties to all
other producers whose products are not
protected by tariff duties. This, Mr. Lubin
says will equalize protection and treat every
one fairly.
Although a Republican and a believer
in protection, Mr.. Lubin is not believer
in the protective system established by the
Mckinley bill He says that unless some
thing can be done to equalize the benefits
Of the system it should be abolished.
Primarily, Mr.. Lubin is working in the
interest of the farmers. This class of pro-
ducers. he says, has been getting the worst
of all tariff legislation since the beginning
of the system, and he argues that it is
about time a change is made in their
interest.
Accordingly Mr. Lubin is arguing with the
farmers in favor of making an effort to OBJ
tain their full share OF the benefits result
ing from the protective system, and is con-
Quoting an active campaign with this end
IN view. He has attended all the large farm
ers' meetings held throughout the country
during the past year and has explained his
views. He has laid particular stress upon
the injustice TO the laborers of all classes
resulting from existing and preceding tar
iff legislation.
Mr.. Lubin will attend farmers meetings
In Maryland and Virginia, and will present
his proposition to them for consideration.
during the next campaign. Mr.. Lubin has
no particular desire to advance the cause
offree trade by the work he has undertaken,
but he does not hesitate to acknowledge that
his efforts are strengthening the free-trade
sentiment among the agriculturists- To
this, however, he has no objection.

KEEP CHILDREN HIDDEN

The Kendall Primary School and Gallau'

provements for the next school year. 1t has
| been decided to inaugurate a course of
| technical study, In accordance with the
| urgent requests from the superintendcnts
and principals of American schools for
| mutes. :.
| The faculty for the coming year has
| been slightly changed, several new pro-
fcssors having been added to the corps.
| DR.. Edward NJ Gallaudet, Phi. D., is
president and professor of moral and
political science. Edward A. Fay, Phi. D.,
is professor Of languages. In the depart
ment of literature and English Samuel
Porter Is principal instructor. Rev. John
NJ. Chickering is teacher of natural Sci
ence and Joseph C. Gordon, NJ. A. of mathe-
matics and chemistry. John B. Hotchkiss
teaches history and elementary English;
Amos G. Draper, higher mathematics and
Latin, and Charles b. Ely rudiments. Ar
thur ID. Bryant is in charge OF the draw
Ing class, and Albert F. Adams OF gym
nastics. a
In the department of ofarticulation, Joseph
c. Gordon. Phi. D.. is the principal. and Is
assisted by Mary T. G.. Gordon, Kate H.
Fish, and Cha arles r. Ely. Gallandet Col
lege is intended only for advanced stu
dents, but the Kendall school is designed
solely for young children or those whose
education has been neglected and 1t is
therefore primary aud elementary in all
Its branches.
In speaking of the Kendall school, DR..
Gallandet said to a Times reporter that
the labor and advantages OF this institu-
tion are very little known II is a free
school, supported entirely by gov =
ernment funds, and is intended solely TO
assist those persons who can not afford
to give educational advantages to their
afflicted children But Mr.. Gallandet says
he has every reason TO believe that there
are here in Washington many afflicted
children who csn not avail themselves of
tbs exceptional opportunity TO relieve
their sad condition. Many parents are
sensitive in regard to having mute chill
dren and for this reason keep them isolated
in their homes.
Some are too indoent to prepare their
children properly for school, and Others
are ignorant of the fact that the school is
free, and so a large percentage are deprived
of its advantages.
DR.. Gallandet is about to take active steps
10 discover any such carelessness on the
part of parents or eSardians.

MEETING OF suFFRAG1sTs.

Colored Citizens Who Are to Vote
In Support of Their Rights.
A largely attended meeting OF the friends
of suffrage was held last night in the
Mount Pisgah A. n. E. Zion Church, on
Tenth and X streets northwest. The
speeches which were delivered were hber-
ally applauded, and those present seemed
enthusiastic for the restoration of the
right of suffrage In the District OF
Cotnmbia.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
Henry Hutton, who introduced, as the
first speaker, Thomas l.. Jones, OF the
District bar. Mr.. Jones said that he ia
vorcd the restoration OF suffrage because
he believed that there were many wrongs
in connection with the administration of
the District government which needed to
be righted.
He was followed by Mrs. Eta j. Webster,
who said that she was present because she
was interested in the oppressed and the
down trodden everywhere. She believed
that II the right of suffrage was restored that
the lives and liberties of the people here
W ould be made more secure. THE negro"
said she, has counted the cost and proposes
to have his rights, but only his rights"
The next speaker was Mr.. Richard Laws,
who delivered an able address, which was
literally applauded; saying that ii the
people here had the right or outrage
there they would be given the opportunity OF
earning an honest living for themselves aud
families.
Perry Carson was the last speaker and he
gave some of the reasons why he favored
suffrage. There were suggestions Offered
as to the further work of the suffrage
people in that section Of the city and IL was
determined to hold another meeting at the
same church next Monday evening.

India Rubber Bait.

According to Troy fisherman the latest
triumph of Yankee inventive genius In an
india rubber fishworm. 1t is said to be re-
markably good imitation Of the common
earthworm. is indestructible, and in actual
use proves as alluring to the fishes as the
genuine article. The old fisherman will be
quick to see its advantages. One can equip
himself for days sport without digging
over a whole garden In search for bait.
A handful of india rubber worms will last
him whole season, and there will be no
necessity for pulling up the line every few
minutes to see if the small fry nibblers have
left the hook bare. 1t is possibly hardly nee
essary to add here that the fisherman who
tells of this invention may be like other
fishermen, in which case the reader need not
believe the story unless he wants to.-Har-

day morning.
Mr.. Gray was the dead mans most init

flying them of the sad occurrence. Up to
the time of leaving the city Mr.. Gray had
