THE ESTIMATES SUBMITTED.
President Hoyt's Report on the
Girls Reform School.

fTeS1ueht HoytN REPORT on tne
Girls Reform school.
Henry NJ. Hoyt, president of the Girls
Reform School, submitted to the District
Commissioners yesterday estimates for
the support and maintenance of that in
stitution during the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1900, as follows:
Salaries-Superintend $1,000; matron,
seer, s720; engineer, $3.50; night watchman,
1866; laborer, $500; treasurer, $500; total,
S5.O25
Maintenance-For groceries, provisions,
light, fuel, soap, oil, lamps, candles, cloth
ing, shoes, forage, horseshoeing, medi-
cines, medical attendance, hack hire,
transportation labor, sewing machines,
fixtures, books, stationery, horses, vehi-
cles, harness, cows pigs, fowls, sheds,
fences, repairs and other necessary items
$500; total, s1l.025
In submitting his estimates, Mr. Hoyt
says:
Attention is again called to the neces-
sity for pasture for our cattle. If Con-
gress will grant for the use of the school
ten or fifteen acres of Government land
in the neighborhood it would assist us
greatly.
For the year ending June 30. 1900, Con
gress is asked to make an appropriation
of $500 to pay the treasurer. The Office OF
treasurer requires careful and laborious
work, and before entering upon the duties
of the office the officer is obliged, under
the law, to give a bond to the United
States, with two or more sureties, to be
approved by the First Comptroller of the
Treasury, in the sum of $4,000, condi-
toned that she shall faithfully account
for all the money received by her as
treasurer.
Unless these appropriations are made
the trustees are in danger of finding
themselves without any treasurer, as it is
not reasonable to suppose that anyone
would long continue to disburse funds
when it Is uncertain whether any salary
will be paid, or If paid is at variance with
the compensation fixed by the trustees al
the time of employment and is wholly In
adequate to the work which treasurer is
obliged to perform.
1.-The salary, it is alleged, is entirely out
of proportion to the bond required by the
Government, the premium on which bond
If taken by a surety company, would be
nearly half the salary as now appropriate
ed by Congress"

The hearings upon the subject of suf-
frage for the citizens of the District OF
Columbia, which were begun early last
Summer, are about to be resumed.
1t will be remembered that the con-
vention OF the American Federation of

ing TO act upon too meager information,
directed President Samuel Gompers to un-
dertake an investigation. and to report to
the next convention at Kansas City.
President Gompers yesterday sent writ
ten personal invitations to a large num-
Der of the leading opponents to suffrage
requesting them TO attend the hearing
which is TO be held at the American Fed

Curtis maintained regular CORES

victims on to what he considered the
proper point sent each one a photograph
OF some prepossessing young lady.
With the photograph he would send q
request for money with which to buy a
ticket to the point where the marriage
was to take place. Many of his vic
tins would comply with the request.
One of them was James Gill, farmer
of kinsley. Kan. He read one of the
advertisements. and thought Jennie"
would make him desirable wife.
Last October he wrote to the address
and as response got request for
money to pay "Jennie's" fare to Kan
sas. He forwarded $34. Jennie" in
formed him she was a lone orphan and
tired of city life. A second request for
money also brought more. Then Gill
became suspicious because of '.Jen-
MES" delay in coming. and sent let
ter of inquiry to Postmaster Seward,
of this city, who wrote to Gill not to
forward any more money TO Jennie" i"

POINTS ABOUT CHEESE.
II Is of .'hemicaI and Not Organic
OriDin

Origin.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
just received an important scientific
communication from the University of
Minnesota. 1t is TO the effect that the
growth in cheese is chemical and not
an organic action.
Simple and unimportant as this may
Seem to one not interested in science.
this Is most important discovery -
said Secretary Wilson. .Microscopists
and bacteriologists have been studying
the question for a great many years
without successes. To know what made
the change from the insoluble indiges-
tible curd to the soluble digestible
cheese was a question none could an
swer. Many believed it was an organic
growth, while as many others claimed
there was no life generated there. but
that the change was brought about by
purely chemical combinations
The investigation in Minnesota
found that in pure cheese the latter
was fact. That is to say, pure Amer
lean. or what many call full cream
cheese.
Not so with some of the imported va
rieties Limburger, that disgusting,
ill-smelling stuff is absolutely alive with
animals. So is the brick cheese. the
hand cheese and many other varieties
of imported stuff 1t is the prolific an
imal growth within these KINDS that
makes the smell. Do you wonder that
they're highly odorous when millions
upon millions of minute maggots are
being created and dying every minute
in a chunk of the stuff as big as a
bean? How any one can eat those high
smelling imported cheeses is a mystery

The few Chinese incur great cities who de-

and weil-fed annals whose care shows
great fondneSs and generosity.
There is 4 Chinese vegetable peddler in
Portland whose two horses have long been
admired by his customers. He feeds
them on the street nd one day lately some
passersby who saw that the man always
seemed to he concocting ssme special
dish for the team, watched him prepare
their lunch non.
First, lie led the horses into the shade,
looSened the traces, and took off the
brides. Then he took nose bag for each
and into each bag poured n good measure
of rolled ba ley. Next he cut up some
carrots small. put them into the nose ba gs
and mixed them up with che barley. Fin
ally he went to his wagon and got fonr
eggs, two VI which he broke into each
measure and stirred them up with the
barley and carrots.
The horses watche all these preparations
with great interest, and were Correspond
iDgIy elated,' as the election dispa tches
say, when the bags containing the APP
petizing mixture were hung on their noses
They procee led to eat with Gusto, and the
Chinaman Turned to a frugal meal OF his
own, which apparently consisted of an
onion and piece Of dry bread.
White drivers who give their horses a
nicer lunch than they themselves eat are
probably rare. East or West
