RAZOR CARRIERS.
Two of Them Brought Before Judge
Miller Today,

Edward Washington, alias Workoff a
young colored man. was in Judge Miller's
court this morning, charged with carrying
a razor.
Last night, when on Pennsylvania ave-
nue." said the officer, my attention was
called to this man by member of Con-
gress, who said he had seen him pursuing
some boys with the razor. When / over
took him he took the razor out of his
pocket and handed it over to me-"
Washington denied that he had pursued
any boys with the razor, but was unable
to tell how the policeman learned that he
had the razor.
He was sentenced to Jail for ninety DAYS
William Payne, also young colored man.
was given a trial on similar charge. Po-
liceman Frank Hughes arrested him in Will
low Tree alley last night. where he had
been informed he had figured in some diff
Guilty.
Payne. who was Well dressed said ne ar
rived here Sunday on schooner from Nor
folk, and was taken TO the alley by an
other colored man. He denied that he had
participated in any difficulty and said he
dropped the razor when he tried to put on
his coat. '.....
The razor, which was not a sharp one
the prisoner said he had used as a knife
Judge Miller told him that he could not
carry razor here without getting in trou-

Tc the Editor of The Evening Star:

Lovely streets and lovely society and
lovely politics and all that makes a man

and driver than by a small messenger boy

tw elve or fourteen h1ocks-twelve, 1 think
and the charge was thirty-fivc cents. A
messenger boy isn't noted for his speed,
and this one was gone less than twenty
five minutes. 1 objected to the charge and
SO did the boy, and he took a note for me
to the Mutual District Telegraph Office
The charge was sustained there, and paid
1t, glad that / was not also charged for the
service and time of the boy in taking the
note to the manager. Having used the
Washington cab service to some extent,
am aware that a cab driver will carry me
twelve or fourteen blocks for twenty-five
cents, and / have discovered that he will
take a note for the same price which
weighs two hundred pounds and some
ounces less than / do. Having made this
statement, which can he accompanied by
an affidavit If necessary, am | not quite
justified in saying that Washington is the
only town on earth where notes and small
packages may be carried at less expense
by fully equipped cab than by messen-
ger? Only it does Icok kind of odd, almost
outre, to send little thing like a note in
a great big vehicle like cab, doesn't it?

THE ENRICH HOTEL CASE.
Close of the Hearing Before the Ex
else BalHrd.

Close of the Hearing Before the Ex-
else Board.
After The Stars report closed yesterday
the excise board continued the case against
the Hotel Enrich under the charge of
selling liquors to miners. Eddie Nolan
a boy fifteen years of age, testified that
he had visited the Place twice in February
with Willie Carter, and on one occasion
drank some beer which Willie bought In
mother allowed him to stay out all night
whenever he told her not to look for him.
This closed the case for the District, and
Mr.. Enrich took the stand, and while ad-
mitting the boys had stopped there, de-
MED that they had obtained liquor Mr..
Liester, the clerk of the hotel recalled the
circumstances attending the boys visit to
the hotel, and said Willie Garter had rep-
resented that his mothers house was full
OF company and she had sent him down
there to stay all night. He had received
no beer there as far as he knew. The
walters of the hotel were then called, and
they testified that they had never served
the boys with beer.
The testimony of Willie Carter was
shaken considerably when. Lawyer John
ston brought out the fact of his total un-
reliability by proving that he had obtained
money under false pretenSeS in many in
stances, and had absolutely no regard for
the truth.
Attorney Shoemaker of tn Anti-Saloon
League made an argument against the
granting of license and the excise board
took the matter under consideration.

Notes Of Interest of Various Local
Happenings.
The narrow escape the people about 35th
and o streets had on Tuesday evening
from loss of life and property by reason
of wagon heavily laden with dynamite
and giant powder collid!ng with a tree has
brought about a consideration of this prac-
tice Of hauling explosives about on the
crowded public streets. If there is no law
it is said, to prohibit this practice, then
one should be enacted. A gentleman who
has spent much time in the oil regions
says that strict law and regulation governs
the hauling OF this material there.
Enforcing the Snow LAW.
For the first time this winter the police
have enforced the snow law and hauled

CONGRESSIONAL.
Senator Mills Speaks in Support of
His Silver Resolution.
TIE NATIONAL BANK IDEA.
The Texas Senator Shows the Expansions
and COntractlons Of the Circulation
A 'stree Home" BIlI Passed
In the House.

WAsHINGTON, Jan. Is. Mr.. Sherman
secured the floor shortly after the ses-
sion of the senate began to-day and
presented an adverse report on the bill
prohibiting citizens ut the United
States from accepting any titles, deco
rations, etc. from foreign nations. Mr..
Sherman said there appeared to be no
need for the proposed legislation and
the consideration of the bill was i'm
definitely postponed.
Mr.. Sherman reported favorably a
joint resolution appropriating $75, 600
for the expenses of the commission en-
gagged in fixing the boundary between
Alaska and British America along the
line of the 14l,t meridian of west lon
gitude. There was some objection to
immediate consideration of the meas
ure, but on Mr.. Sherman's statement
that the commission now at work
would have to suspend operations UNI
less the apprC priation was given, the
resolution was passed. 4
Mr. Mills, of Texas, then took thu
floor in support of his resolution, in
troduced yesterday, concerning silver,
bonds, etc He spoke extemporane-
ously and was given close attention.
lie first drew attention to the long
continued antagonism to silver and
the present locking up of the accu-
mutation of silver in the treasury
vaults, due, he said, to the powerful
corporation influence in this country
claiming the prerogative of issuing
money to expand and contract as they
pleased. The national bank idea was
not democratic idea, the democratic
policy favoring the retention by the
government and the people of the
noney-making prerogative.
Mr.. Mills showed the expansions and
contractions of the circulation made by
banks and said this system was now to
be perpetuated by further issues OF
bonds. lie spoke about an hour. At
the conclusion of his speech Mr.. PETER
took the floor on the bond bill.
In the house the speaker announced
the appointment of Mr.. Allen of Utah
to the committee on public lands in
place of Mr.. Curtis, Of Kansas, re
signed
On motion of Mr. Bowers, of Califor
mia, bill was passed authorizing the
secretary of the interior, under regu
