Senator Mcmillan. Opfnion.

Commissioner Ross thought the law
granted the Commissioners discretion, and
to satisfy himself he communicated by
telephone with Senator Mcmillan. The lat
ter, 1t Is understood, replied that while
he would personally like to see the Com
m1ssioners favor the new company, he
thought the law would not permit of such
construction.
This being communicated to the board
there was nothing left to do but vote
down the application.
one OF the strongest objections to the
permit came from the engineer depart
ment They all believed an overhead troll
ley on the bridge would endaueer the
structure. and strongly recommended
against the permit

TROLLEY PERMIT REFUSED
Application for Overhead Wires on Anacostia
Bridge Rejected.
Capital Railway Charter Said to Con-
fer Discretionary Powers Upon
District COmnlissiOners.

1t Is safe to predict there will be no
overhead trolley in Washington during the
administration Of the present board of
Commissioners, If they have anything to
do with 1t. Yesterday for the first time the
question permitting an overhead trolley
where the law seemed to give them the
discretion came up and was as promptly
voted down.
1t came through an application Of the
Capital Railway Company for permission
to run an overhead trolley across the Ana
costa bridge.
Charter Provision.
Section 2 of the act amending the char
ter Of the Capital Railway Company pro-
vides: THAT the motive power to be used
on the lines in this act specified shall be
the underground electric system within the
city Of Washington and the overhead troll
ley system outside the city of Washing
ton. For crossing the Navy Yard bridge
the said company may, in the discretion of
the Commissioners of the District of Co.
ilImbia, use either horse power or the UNI
foreground electric system to propel its
cars; and the said company shall have
the privilege of carrying an electric cur
rent across the said Navy Yard bridge In
such manner as the said Commissioners of
the District of Columbia shall prescribe
1t was under this discretionary clause
tnat application was made. When the mat
ter was called up yesterday afternoon al
late session of the board 1t was seen
al once that there was a division of opin-
ION. commissioner Ross was in favor of
granting the company at least a temporary
permit, but Commissioners Wight and
Black were unalterably opposed to it, They
said 1t Is understood that the application
meant the entering wedge of the trolley
for it. ~

 ] She had just returned from visit Co Milwaukee, and something had hap. pened to displease her.
 "The fact of the matter is," she said |, "we get swindled Tn this town and haven't sense enough to know it.'
 "You must have run across bargain somewhere, he suggested, for he knew her failing.
 ''BargainW she exclaimed. "Why, I tell you, William. we don't know where to shop to make money. Do you remem- Der the last white shirt bought you 2'' He did. He would have said he did even if he didn'r, but it had given him considerable trouble in one way and another.
 "WeIl," she explained. "I paid just 2 dollar for that shirt in Chicago. and I saw an exact duplicate oft at a marked down sale in Milwaukee for 9S cents. |" "Why didn't you go to St. Paul ?" he asked wearily. "Perhaps you could have got the same thing for 94. Or Winnipeg might have gwen It to you for 91. One has to go after bargains, you know" She wasn't quite sure whether he was fun of her. but she felt that it was possible, and refused to continue the subject in consequence.

THE MILITARY CODE.

Councilman Earth, of Apache county,
 has introduced bill into the council
 having for it's object the repeal of the
 military code of this territory and the
 consequent disbanding of the National
 Guard of Arizona. We venture the as-
 sertion that in this act MT. Earth is
 going contrary to the sentiments of
 nine-tenths of his constituents, and to the great majority of the people of this county. We do not believe that even a respectable minority of the people O; Apache are in favor of the measure, and of the citizens of St. Johns hut single individual has yet been found who ac. lively favors the proposition. It ie openly charged here, on the street, by representative democrats, that in this move, Earth is actuated solely by q spirit of malice and revenge toward some uembe Of Company F. stationed st this place. As to the merits of the controversy between Earth and the Guardsmen, as individuals, that is something of which we have nothing to do, and as 8 newspaper, care nothing. But we cannot help but believe that the councilman is actuated to certain ex- tent, by malice, and not in the interests of economy. It is true that it costs something to maintain a regiment of National Guard in Arizona, but then all the functions of government cost some thing. It costs something to maintain court, pay mileage to iurymen, and con- duct elections, but for that reason shall we do away with the election laws and repeal the penal code? We are of the opin,on that the present legislature should amend the military code of .bis territory so as to secure better organ ization of the National Guard of Ari- zona, instead of repeating the code alto gether

 and strong recommend in his favor is
 that he assumed the duties of proper incorporation and license inspector and again did not have any pal or confeder. ate to "squeal" at the wrong tune.
 Fogle and Gross. the two "Cheap John" merchants who have been tenn porarily handling "hand-me-down" stock of clothing. boots and shoes in town for the past few days, to the det. riment of the legitimate merchants, locked up their store last night after 8 profitable day. and retired to the Alt. man house to exchange old count try "reminiscences with M. Altman and wife, the proprietors of the aforesaid hotel.
 They had not been in the parlor over twenty minutes when tall, command gentleman with handkerchief over his face and six-barr persuader in his hand politely opened the door, ,clos- ing and locking It behind him. After these few preliminaries. he told the three gentlemen to arranre themselves in an orderly line along the wall which order was complied with without delay. The nervy individual then gave each a sack and told him to throw 1t over his head. He then went through their poceo4G. securing 500. Upon hIs en- trance Mrs. Altman was standing be- hind some chenille curtains which sep arated the office from her room. Think ing it one of the boarders masquerad- ing, she thought nothing of the matter until the gentleman, ready to leave, fired a shot, apparently to emphasize hls work. The shot passed through the partition, striking Ms. Altman in the leg, just above the ankle. The alarm was soon given and Drs. Frencis. Rounsevllle and Thompson were sum- moned to attend the wounded woman. As yet no clue is found by which to identify the robber. Gross had 8 Colts A revolver in his pocket at the time of the holdup. but after the fracas he be- came so disgusted with the thought i that he threw the weapon into the street

He has always been an active member of the association, and in every action in life his hand grasps that of his fellowman with the true clasp of friendliness.

Mics StandiSh,

The following pen picture of noted colonial character was written by 8 twelve year old schoolboy ,and deserves to be prererved as specimen of this class of composition Miles Standish lived Tn Plymouth Tn the old colony days. His house was a log cabin and the roof was thatched.
 Ills weapons hung on the walls of tho room.
 tsts sword was curved aC the point. and it was inscribed with an Arabic sentence.
 Miles Standish always kept his weap- ons shining and clean.
 In the corner of the room was a fow- ling piece, musket and a matchlock.
 He frequently walked to and fro in his room and paused to look at his gilt tering weapons.
 He was short in stature, but strongly built; he was deep-chested and he had broad shoulders.
 His complexion was dark and his beard was mixed with gray.
 He was dressed in douelet and hose, and his boots were made of goatskin.

The republicans have already agreed tr g schedule of rates on agricultural
 products that raises the duties to such an extent that it will bar out Canadian products.
 The Washington Post has been hay ing fun with Secretary Morton. It's latest hit is too good to be overlooked The Post Is under obligations to Hon. J. Sterling Morton for his most vaIua- bie report on 'Tapeworms of Poultry. By the keen employment of that twin screw and double expansion logic for which the head of the Agricultural de- partment is so noted, the writer IS able to show that this pest which is annoy. ing to farmers and adding 10 their mortgage is due directly to the constant agitation of the financial question by Irresponsible persons who do not agree with the present administration"

"The Niggerin the Wood. Pile.' 5
fPick and Drill.


 That circuit court bill never should be passed by any territorial legislature, time enough for such measures when we shall have attained statehood. This sort of legislative tinkering is lely in the interest and at the hest of cer- tain gang of peripatetic lawyers, so- called, who, leach like, desire to feast. fatten and feather at the expense of the already overburdened taxpayers of this territory.
 The hidden Ethiopian in this partic- ular wood-pile is that of empowering the governor to appoint these circuit judges for term of four years.
