CHARGED WITH EMBEzzLEsrENr
Richard West May Pay Dearly for
Few Days. Pleasure.

Richard West, aged twenty-six years,
formerly in the employ of the Merchants
Parcel Delivery Company, was brought
from Baltimore yesterday by Detectives
Carter and Gallagher and lodged in the
First precinct station-houSe, to answer
charge OF embeZZlement.
West was for several months a driver
Of ane OF the company's wagons Last
Friday he had quite heavy load to de-
liver, but returned TO the stable THAI night
with many of his parcels undeliyered
Among the other packages, which h ad
been sent out, was blue serge suit, pur-
chased from Mr.. DyrenfoTth, and ad-
dressed to Mr.. Waters. No. 4S7 II street
southwest. 1t is claimed that West pos
sessed himself of this suit, and In his
borrowed plumage hied himself to Balti-
more with about $40 OF the company's
money. which he omitted to turn In to the
cashier
In shore time the money was spent, and
before he had an opportunity to get
away, the Baltimore authorities, who had
received word that he was probably in
their city, learned of his whereabouts and
arrested him, notifying the Washing gton
police that they Were holding the prisoner
with the result as stated.

Failed to Heed u Warning.

Richard Rollins is farmer from Center
-illc. down in Prince George county. He
is good enough citizen when sober, but
under the influence of alcoholic inspira-
ton he is apt to make the welkin ring
with his comments. Last night he came tn
town with load OF produce, with the
proceeds of which he secured load or
whisky. Becoming boisterous, an officer
led him and his team to the First precinct
station house, where a charge OF disor-
derly conduct was entered against him
he Immediately secured his release by
leaving So collateral, and no sooner had he
regained his liberty than he proceeded to
fire up" second time, succeeding sc
admirably that as a result of his second
departure from the straight and upright
path he again was conducted to cell and
left there to await the assistance Of some
acquaintances.

HUNDREDS OF NEW SHADE TREES
Annual Report OF superintendent
Lanham TO the commissioners

Annual hepOFt oI superintendent
Lanham TO the Commissioners
In the annual report of Supt. Lanham
concerning the shade trees OF the city, sub
mlttrd 10 the Commissioners yesterday, IT
is set forth that during the year ,455
trees have been planted in the District The
big storm OF September last destroyed
l, f0e. 1t is urged that the practice OF
wiring trees be continued, and thai sub
stantial wire box be adopted
The report further reads: From the
fact that it has been so difficult to get
the appropriation for the planting or
trees increased, I have thought it well,
when the cost Of improving a street is be-
ing estimated, that the sum of So for
every thirty-five feet OF curb line might
be added for tree-planting the sane. The
Improvement of no street is complete with
out trees. The sum of S20,o 200 annually
appropriated here is only one-half enough
for the care of the Iuore than IS, 900 trees
now in the streets, and the continuation of
tree-planting. The planting of trees has
not kept pace with other street improve
Inents, and it is impossible TO make it so
unless the appropriations are increased AZ
least 90 per cent, or the cost of planting
new trees provided for as suggested"

porary injunction OF the court.
They therefore pray that q warrant Of

To Destroy wasp.' Nests.

A very simple and effective plan OF
destroying the nests of the wasp con-
sists in saturating piece of soft rag,
attached to slender stick, in turpen-
tine, and then thrus.ing il into tho
passage to the nes,, stopping up the
hole with a piece of turf. II kills every
wasp. and there is no necessity what
ever for digging them out. Use thor
oughly good turpentne. for when IL
has lost much of its strength it will
fail in its action. Such remedy as
this is safe, and quite as good as the
dangerous preparations so often adopt
ed. One or two tablespoonfuls of pull
verified cyanide of potassium put into
the nest at any time of the day forms n
good remedy. II quietly done the in
gress of the insects is not in the least
disturbed. They enter readily, but
never return.

Then let the suction pipe turn upward,
