DISHONEST BAKERS.
How They Were Punished in Germany
in the Good Old DAYS.

Those bakers who give underweight
bread or overcharge for it should bless
their stars that they are not in me-
dieval Germany. In the middle ages
the cheating bakers lot was not a
happy one, especially in the south of
Germany. In Munich a case of
bakers ducking" is recorded as late
as 1910. To this day the instrument of
torture with illustration is still exhib-
tied in the Bavarian national museum
of Munich.
The law requires that the bread loaves
should not be below the prescribed
weight, and that the -four of the bread
and cakes should not be adulterated.

COST OF soLomoN's TEMPLE.
The Seven Years Work Figured out
in Dollars and Cents.

The Seven Years work Figured Out
in Dollars and Cents.
A noted statistician and investigator
who has lots of time for such work
has been doing some figuring on the
cost of the Temple of Solomon, and
says few people even in these days Of
palmy extravaganza and millionaire
display have an adequate impression
OF the enormous cost of the great tenn
pie. According to Villalpandus, the
talents" of gold, silver and brass were
$4,000. The worth of the jewels is
placed at figure equally as high, says
the Philadelphia Record.
The vessels of gold, according to Jo-
Sephus, were valued at 100000 talents,
which, reduced to English money, was
equal to S575, ,2o3. The vessels of
silver, according to the same authority.
were still more valuable, being SC;
down as worth C GAG, $4,000. Priest,
vestments and the robes of singer
C 100000, and the trumpets, e200,cc
To this add the expense of tie bull
ing material, labor, etc., and some wci
derful figures result. Ten thousan,
men hewing cedars, 10000 bearers o.
burdens, $4,000 hewers of stone, over
seers, all of whom were employed fol
seven years, and upon whom. beside
their wages, Solomon bestowed C 6,733,
go.
If their daily food was worth so cents
the sum total for all was e63,s77,Oss
during the time of building. The ma
terials in the rough are estimated a:
having been worth e2,545,337 900. This
gives total, just for this much of tn,
expense, which by no means expresses
the whole cost, of S10,719, 760,2 61, o.

the campaign. He never once enter
tanned a doubt of Clay's election-his
defeat would be public calamity. The
returns came in and showed the cleo
ton of Polk and Dallas, and the young
miller's disappointment was so great
that he then vowed that he would never
cast another vote as long as he lived.
A few years ago a neighbor ran for the
legislature and every vote was needed,
but Spencer would not violate his vow,
and for So years, through some of the
most exciting political battles in his
tory, despite the appeals of friends, he
has stood true to his oath.

In the year 1881, when Lord Corn
wallis began in joy and ended in dis
aster his campaign in Virginia against
the American colorists, there was born
at Fermanagh, Ireland, a girl baby
who, living yet, at the age of 116 years,
is believed to be the oldest person in
the world. While that baby was still
in arms Lafayette and Washington
were marshalling their forces to check

interesting experiments which are being
carried on in that department. The tobac-

ADJUSTMENTS.

GLEN THE-POTOMAC.-An
entire change of program was presented
at Glen Echo last night, the bill given then
to be continued all this week. The amphi-
theater was well crowded when the Fa-
dettes began the entertainment with a
number of selections given in the best of
style, and before the program was half
finished about three thousand persons were
comfortably seated In the big structure.
Among the special turns, Mr.. T. J. o. Brien,
baritone, sang himself into popular favor
at once, and was obliged to respond to sew
eral encores. The Rice Brothers. the we'll
known horizontal bar team, presented their
novel and funny sketch, entitled 1.-The Chi
naman and the Rube" and provoked hearty
applause by their clever and difficult feats
Eugene A. Neidert, who claims the cham
pionship in the world of fancy bicycle rid
Ing, gave wonderful exhibition, and was
forced to repeat part of his turn. The
Ctnematographe presented an entirely new
series of views, some of which were the
best of the kind that have ever been shown
here. The difficulty in the past with the
three railroads running to Glen Echo tas
been the lack of power necessary to run
the heavily loaded cars and some of them
have been obliged to wait some time for
the needed current. This difficulty, how
ever. has been obyiated, and last night all
the lines were running in excellent shape,
and carrying every trainload Of passengers
without one unnecessary stop.
The Fadettes have made hit in Wash
ington not only because of the novelty at
tending an orchestra composed Of the
gentler sex, but because the music rem
dered by them has been up to a really ex-
cellent standard. A fine program was
given Sunday afternoon and evening by
this organization. The program contained
such numbers the "Tannhauser' march;
Won Suppes overture, Morning, Noon and
Night Baers Elm Marchen," two num-
bers by Moskowski, Spanish dance and a
waltz; Sousa march and solo FOR violin,
Bohm's "Cavatina." This last number was
a feature. The solo was played by Miss
Lillian Chandler in a style that left no
doubt of her artistic merit. Taken as a
whole, the Fadettes gave the program Sun
day almost without a flaw. The only OBJ
lection that might be found with the ar
chestra is that it is not quite properly bal
anced, and that there should be either
more reed instruments or less brass, the
construction of the amphitheater having a
tendency to bring out the sound of the lat
ter Instruments All of the numbers were
given with spirit and a finish that be-
spoke long and careful training, and the
way in which all of the members of The
orchestra responded to the directors baton
showed that they were in full sympathy
with her and understood her every move

Second Week Begun With Most En-
cOuraEing Prospects.
The Gonzaga fete at North Capitol and
streets opened for it's second week last

The crowd in attendance was in excess of
that in evidence any night last week, and
the management of the affair believes that
a large sum will be the outcome for the
benefit Of the boys school. special set of
attractions was arranged for last night.
Early in the evening there was a pyro-
technic display, and later an exhibition of
fancy dancing. by the pupils of Professor
Cassell, entertained the visitors. Aloysius
Shugare, Miss Loretta Briceland and Miss
Gertrude Herford deserve special mention
for their share In this part of the even
ing's entertainment.
After this exhibition the cinematograp he
and the dancing pavilion came in for q
large share of attention. the latter being
crowded during the entire evening.
Gonzaga Council, No. "A, c. B. L., will
visit the fete in a body this evening. To-
morrow night the Emmett Guard will visit
the grounds. The guard will parade from

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
e~meet him every day on the street
with his starved body and sad, weary face
boast of pedigree. but he must have had
some kind Of home once. and how did he
become ,ast-ay? Well in nne cases out of
ten, IT happens in this way: dog or a
puppy becomes the property OF some ILL
trained children, who blunder and fuss him
through each day, until papa and mamma
both agree that he is positively too annoy
Ing to haze around: so the children are In
structed TO lose him. which business they
ind to be great sport: or else he is per-
eral nights, for the dog catcher to find in
the early morning, and in the meanwhile
the gcody. goody folks in the neighbor-
hood are kept awake most of the time with
his pitiful crying. If doggie's lucky star is
not up. he Will finally realize that there is
a great gulf between him and the man with
the persuasive net, and in the absence Of
that two-by-six blessing, he becomes rest
less and then astray. Now. In the name of
ordinary common sense, l ask, il We must
get rid of certain animals. would 1t not be
more rational and merciful to simply COM
municate with the pound master and have
him remove them quietly and promptly ?
This matter of sick. neglected dogs roam
Ing our streets, a constant menace to heip-
less people. demands a speedy remedy.
Surely the brain and also the heart of in
telligent mankind can find some way TO
obey the scriptural injunction-"Let ell
things be done decently AMI in order'-and
then the lost pet will be faithfully restored
to his master. and the friendless one will
no longer stray. A. E. d.

The Monument. seismo.cope.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star: ....
Last Fridays issue of your paper con-
taIned an article headed Power Of the Sun
on Large Buildings" in which the WASH
ington monuments seismoscope ia de-
scribed in substance as cord reaching
from the top CT the monument to the bot
tom and holding a plummet suspended in
a bowl Of mercury.
I would say that the instrument referred
to Is In reality a copper wire, ia feet long,
extending through the center Of gravity in
the great Obelisk, and that the slightest
variation In the position OF the great mass
of stone Is indicated upon a graduated
scale by means of two little telescopes or
transits which are arranged at right an
giles to each other and focused upon the
wire above the plummet, which is held s,s-
pended into vessel Of water, not mer-
curry.

The Southern Women and Presfdeu
Mckinley.

Mckinley.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your issue of the 9th instant you
kindly gave space to southern women, who
gave thanks to President Mckinley for his
recent civil service order, which Ensures
them their positions they now occupy in
the various government departments
We have been subscribers to The Star
for the last twenty years, and have always
admired Its independence on all subjects
pertaining to good government.
Please be kind enough to give space 20
some northern gentlemen who carried a
knapsack and gun for three or four years
to prevent the fathers, brothers and hus-
bands of those southern ladies from de-
stroying the best government in the world.
Five hundred of these northern gentle
men are now tramping the streets of this
city, out of employment-some with one
leg, few with one arm, and the balance
broken down in health, the result of the
privations of war.
Not more than one in twenty of those
southern ladies obtained their positions
through a con petitive examination. The
larger portion of them were appointed by
Hoke Smith and John G. Carlisle, and in
many instances a northern gentleman who
wore the blue was discharged to make a
vacancy for these southern ladies.
The act Of Pr esident Mckinley may have
Deen courageous one, but the northern
gentlemen who wore the blue and were
dismissed from Office will view it in diff
ferent light.
1t may be termed justice to the south
ern ladies, but the question arises. where
were those southern ladies last fall, when
these northern gentlemen who wore the
blue were forming republican clubs. buying
uniforms, hiring bands of music and
marching through the states of Maryland
and Virginia, raising flag poles and maxi
ing speeches for the grand old republican
party that assisted in making it possible
for Mr.. Mckinley to become President?
We think these southern ladies were sit
ting at their desks, quietly waiting to ex-
tend their thanks to either of the two can
didates that would be successful. Very
