TWO OFFICES TO BE FILLED
SeaIer of Weights and Measures and
Superintendent of Charities.
Several Delegations Ask Commits.
pointnent to FormeI. Place,

One of the first appointments of any
missioner Wight will be a successor To
Gen. Frank Bond, who now holds the
office OF sealer Of weights and measures
for the District. Commissioner Wight
said today that this case, being an urgent
one, would be the first 10 receive his
attention Gen. Bonds commission ex-
pired May l , 1897, and many weeks be-
fore perfect deiuge OF applications poured
in at the District building
There are many prominent candidates
for the place, notable among them being
j. c. Donaldson, DR.. j. Mann and c. s
Shaffer, of Laurel. Md The latter has
the Endorsement OF the entire Maryla nd
delegation. and the two Senators are work
ing diligently in his behalf. Gov. Low ndes,
it is said, has taken a deep interest in the
fight for the place, and has given Mr.
Schaffer his unqualified endorsement. While
Senator German would like 10 see Gen.
Bond retained, he is a lifelong friend OF
Mr.. Schaffcr, and has promised him his
support. Owing TO the fact that the
place is held by a Maryland man, it is ex-
pected that the new appointee VIII come
from that State. Mr. CornHi ssioner Wig ht
has always been a strong advocate OF
home rule for District offices. and IL is
quite probable that he VIII give careful
consideration 10 the matter before taking
any decisive step
Another place that is awaiting an ap-
pointee is that OF the superintendent OF
charities, now held by Col Tracey, and
as it is Presidential appointment, little
ia known OF the candidates at the District
building II is not probable, however,
that the President will take any action
in the matter until the condition OF Col.
Tracey, who is quite i'll, has greatly i'm
proved, tits rumored that the former clerk
OF the superintendent of charities, Mr.
Barnaclo, is an applicant for the place,
while several applications from Nut-of-
town aspirants have been placed on file at
the White House
delegation from the South Washing
ton Citizens Association called upon the
Commissioners today upon behalf OF Mr
Bernard Leonard, who is an applicant for
the position of sealer of weights and meas
ures The Commissioners informed the
geliJltffkefl Iiidi dll uut WOulI
be given the application OF Mr. Leonard.
A delegation OF citizens, representing
the Washington Coal Exchange, called
upon the Commissioners yesterday, and
filed charges Of incompetency against Gen.
Frank Bond, and at the same time urged
the appointment of Mr. John ID. Miller
to the place Mr.. g. w Merrill, the spokes-
man, charged that there was often diff.
ference of 70, 80. 90, and even as much
as $50 pounds between scales that had
been certified to by the sealer of weights
and measures, guara nteeing their cor
rectness. The method of testing scales
WAS also protested against, and other
complaints were made.
The delegation consisted OF Messrs. A
R. Stephenson, Charles Werner, and G.. w
Merrill

IN THE HOTEL CORRIDORS.

Mr.. K. c. Woolley, d travelling salesman
for tobacco concern, said last night at
the National Hotel:
The present rev in Cuba is an illustra-
tion OF the fact that it is an Ill wind tn At
blows no one good The Cuban tobacco
plantations, where the rich volcanic soil
occurs, are being devastated but so long
as some remain TO produce seed. the enter
prising firms who are now controlling
Cuban tobacco in Florida and Inanufactur-
ing the same there will reap rich financial
harvest
Cuban tobacco planted in Florida has
tendency to run out, but if new seed is
introduced at certain intervals of time the
article is as good as It's ancestor. Now, as
the duty on the leaf is high, and as seeds
for d larger area take up but q small
space. the inference is very plain If these
dons do not soon arrive at some amicable
arrangement one OF the great in Industries OF
the island will be sadly rninimized, for a
small acreage would be sufficient TO furnish
The stock, which could be expanded to any
extent on our side of the Florida channel
However, it is impossible to expect any,
thing from Spain. 1 understand the Spanish
PeninSuar is country where four Ian
guages are spoken, each one OF them not
understood by the people who speak the
others. From an eccentric country like
that there is no hope"

An Earnest Appeal.
o the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor OF The Times:
In The Times Of last Saturday there
appeared brief but pointed coIHTnmnkca-
ton in behalf OF that over worked and un-
derpaid class of workers, the grocery clerks
I desire to supplement the views of the
writer Of the article in question by includ-
ing in the list of sadly rworked and
sbamefully underpaid employees the drug
clerks aud boys who attend to the soda
fountains. When a young man is kept ON
his feet from fourteen to seventeen hours
a day for seven days in the week, at the
Inunificent salary of So 80 or So per week,
il seems to me he is deserving OF some
sympathy l know case exactly rs herein
described, and do not doubt but there are
many similar ones. 1t seems to me that
the Humane Society the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, tie h
Of l.. or the A. F. l.. should give the drug
clerk and the soda fountain boy their moral
support and active assistance Either Of
the great interna tionallabor organ izations
could soon change the condition OF these
employees If they would only take the mat
ter up. Let me suggest to Messrs Conn
pers and Sovereign the following lines, in
the hope that they may have the effect
of awakeRing some interest and some SYM
pathy for the grocery clerks, the drug
clerks, and last, but rot least, the soda
fountain boys:
Teach me to feel for others woes;
To hide the faults I see;
The mercy l to others show
That mercy show to me-
