DEATH OF ROBERT BEALL
~
Widely Known in Washington and Through
tie Country.
Hi. Book store Wa. for Year. the
Favorite Spot sfor Seekers After
Historic andFolitical Literature.

Mr.. Robert Beall died at Providence Hos
pital last night of consumption. He had
been an inmats 1f the Institution since the
middle of March when his malady had
reached such a serious stage that constant
and careful attention was demanded. He
seemed to be improving short time ago,
but the change was only temporary and he
weakened steadily until death relieved his
sufferings. Mr.. Beall was one of the most
widely known men in Washington, and en-
joyed much popularity. He was also one
of the best-known Washingtonians among
the public men of the country, to whose
scholarly and literary demands he catered
for many years.
Mr.. Beall came of the old Maryland
family of that name and was born sixty
Cne years ago. In his early youth he entLr-
ed the employment of Frank Taylor, 1:he
bookseller, whose establishment occupied
the building on the north side of Pennsyi-
vania avenue between 41a and 9th stres Is,
at the corner of the alley, now the site or
the Emerich Hotel This book store was
for many years the converging place for
statesmen, pdnditS, scholars. and men OF
brain and purpose generally. Among young
Bealfs fellow clerks at Taylors were
Charles c. Glover, now president of the
Riggs National Bank, and Orsen .Bestor.
w hen Mr.. Taylor retired from business
Mr.. Bealf opensd a book store q few doors
WSSt Oh Tue avenue uQUST tue Ndloudl I1O-
tel. This store succeeded the Old original
establishment as the attraction for public
men. The rarest volumes as we'll as the
newest and most valuable ones could be
found upon its shelves, and the visitors
comprised men already engaged In making
history, and many who mad already found
their places in it..
With all Mr.. Beall was popular, and he
amassed handsome competency. He re.
tired from active business a couple of
years ago. Mr.. BealI was largely inter-
ested in local corporations, being at one
time a director of the Metropolitan Rail-
road Company and later a director of the
Capital Traction Company. He was never
married.
The funeral will take place Saturday
morning and the interment will be in Oak
Hill cemetery

DIFFICULTY AT MoNrAuK.
What is Said Mt the Department,
About 1t.


The commissary general says, In refer
erce to the publication concerning the lack
OF food supplies at the camp at Montauk
Point, that suf1cieEcy of food was pro-
vided and that there was no reason for
hardship on this score.
In reference to the allegation that the
men were not provided with tents and had
to sleep in the rain, Quartermaster Gem
eral Luddington says that the department
has been working with energy since the
selection of the camp there and has done
everything that could be done to provide
for the comfort Of the soldiers with all
possible expedition.
Colonel Miller of the quartermaster gen.
erafs office. who has just returned from
Montauk, says that there could not have
been as much doEe in the way of converting
the camp in four days as there would have
peen had they had mora time.
The camp is located III miles from the
city and great difficulty was experienced in
gettinS workmen, but everything has been
zone under nigh pressure. An abundance
OF water has been procured and tents for
tnose VINO have arrived. Those men who
slept on the sand were probably some who
came In at midnight and left the cars
through preference.

GOLD OUTPUT of kLONDIKE.
superintendent of San Francisco
Mint Says Only SG.OOOOOO


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. August 11.-F
A. Leach, superintendent of the United
States mint in this city, estimates that the
gold output Of the Klondike this year has
been only about s5,O00O00. The receipts at
the mint here have amounted to about ST.
10000 since the first arrival of Yukon gold
few weeks ago. The receipts of the Seat
tie assay office have been about the same.
The largest single deposit at the mint here
was $4,000.
Mr.. Leach estimates that there is about
$250,0OO in dust and nuggets and that there
is about S1,0G0,O00 more of this seasons out
put yet to reach this country. 1t Is stated
that the dust brought out by the North
American Trading and Transportation Com
pany was sent east and was not included
in Mr.. Leachs figures. This amount might
possibly reach S500,OO0. From this showing
it would appear that $6O00,000 would be
safe and conservative estimate of the en-
tire Yukon output, including the American
side as well as the Klondike.

CASE OF FRANK FIROR.
A Correction From Mr.. Wade, the
HOOkkeeDer.

Frank Firor, the alleged default.ng secre-
tary and treasurer of the Charles Schnei-
der Baking Company, who also, according
to President Schpeider's declarations made
publicly, used between $4,000 and S3O,00o
of the latter's private funds, has deigned
to break the silence in which he has been
wholly enveloped since his disappearance
from this city May 81 last, and his return
to it two weeks ago.
The Evening Star yesterday evening pub
lished exclusively the first real insight into
the manner in Which Frank Firor managed
the affairs of the baking company, of which
he was practically given absolute control
by reason of the fgonfidence which his
father-in-law, Charles Schneider, president
of the company, Eeposed in him. In the
course of the afticfe' the name of George
w. Wade was inadvertently used for that
of George w. Lane, 'the expert employed
early in the year by the Investigating COM
mittee of the board Of directors, which was
created because of the suspicion then had
that Firor was fndufging in peculiar meth
name of the regular bookkeeper of the
COZ pany. The erroguwas eagerly grasr ID
by t1ror, as.Tthe, following, note, writ N
last night by Nj. Wade to the writer ,f
Yesterdays article, Will show. Addressing
the reporter by .fatfe, the. note was as foil

In your account in today's paper rela-
tive to Mr.. sFirors accounts my name
tat least my last name) is confounded with
that of another .{probabiy that of George
W.. Lane. Mr.. Frank F,iror called upon
me this morning and said he would like
to have that statement corrected, that the
books were kept from me, as bookeeper
That is misleading. Mr.. Firor never kept
the books from me. AS to whatever state
ment Mr.. Lane may have made on the
subject. l, of course, have nothing to do
with. T. l.. WADE.'
The facts, stated, and which, it is un-
derstood, are set forth in the report of the
Investigating committee, are that Firor did
interfere with the expert, Mr.. Lane in his
prosecution of his investigation, and it is
further said on excellent authority that
when Mr. Lane was engaged in solving
the Chinese puzzle presented by the COM
panys books, that Firor not only inter-
fered, but owing to his remarkable infiu-
ence over President Schneider got the lat
ter to complain about the expert to the di-
rectors.
OF course, Mr.. Wade's management of
the company's books were correct, as he
merely 1t Is declared, entered the items
upon them which Firor in his position as
absolute autocrat of everything connected
with the company provided him with.

HIGH WATER.
No Danger of n Flood, However, From
the River.

The heavy rains over the watershed of
the Potomac and tributaries during the
past several days has resulted in a rise of
the river of about three feet at the Great
Falls, but today there was no indication of
any danger of flood in this city. At noon
today the water registered 1886 feet at the
Great Falls, low water mark there being
151 feet Last April the water at the Great
Falls registered 1888, and on May 10 1t was
"a foot higher than it was today. March p
of this year it was 1887. AT noon today
the water had risen only one-quarter of an
inch in two and a half hours, and the
watchman at the falls reported that the
height of the flood appeared to have been
reached.
The signal office here receives reports from
it's station at Harper's Ferry Of any unu-
sual rise in the river there, but no report
was received today, which is regarded as an
indication that there is no apparent danger
from flood at Harper's Ferry.

Dolls as Educators,
From the New Haven Register.

A pamphlet has lately been printed that
treats of the possibility of using dolls as
educational agents. The pamphlet is main-
ly scientific in its nature and is founded
on answers received to questions which
were sent to mothers, teachers, ami young
girls who We're studying at normal colleges,
Among many interesting facts it was dis
covered that in playing with q French doll
little girl will use all the French she
knows Hence arises the inquiry as to
whether dolls could be used to incite the
youthful mind to interest in a foreign lam
guage. 1t is suggested that interest in his
tory or mythology might be aroused by the
use of dolls to represent the characters of
some country, age, or epoch about which
the children were studying. Advocates of
the educative doll system claim that bows
as well as girls can by this means be made
to interest themselves in useful studies

Vote for q.
the Bonds

NeXL l. 1ueSudy the people VI
Little Falls have an opportunity
to put themselves on record IN
favor of municipal ownership. If
the people of this city do not care
to have what is their own, if they
prefer to put great profits into the
pockets of a private concern rather
than to have the city enjoy the
benefits which come from munich
pal ownership, then they need not
vote for the bonds. If, however,
the people of the city want the
good which experience has shown
comes from municipal ownership,
if they want to strengthen the city
treasury and reduce taxes, if they
want needed public improvements,
if they want light and water re-
duced to a price which will enable
many to get these advantages who
now cannot, if they want the out
lying districts to get the benefits
of light and water as well as the
business section, then the people
will vote for the bonds.
There is no intention to con-
fscate the present plant or to do
it's owners any injustice. It is
the intention to offer them some
thing more than the value of the
plant in order to be fair. The
plants value is not determined by
the watered stock, but by it's
&C tua1 worth. The value of the
plant being known, and the cost
of another like it being also known,
it doesn't require much wisdom to
make decent offer.
Even though the bonds were
voted, the council would certainly
not build, if the company refused
the -~which~Mould~-be-~ made,
without the consent of the citizens.
Municipal ownership. means
cheaper light and cheaper water;
mea:::33 Profit for the city, not for a
private cc--cerr.
We are told that much capital
is invested in the present plant,
and it mustn't be disturbed. This
is an old, old cry. The vested
right which some people talkabout
glibly is nothing more many
times than vested wrong, and
vested wrongs cannot stand in the
way of the welfare of the people.
-. Corporations of certain kinds
pay little attention to law when it
pays them to do so, but the law
becomes instantly sacred when
the people demand their rights.
Nothing has been done or will be
done in the fight for municipal
ownership but what is lawful.
The idea of municipal owner
ship cannot be laid aside. It is
not an exploded theory or dis
carded fa1lacy. it is part of the
civic evolution of modern times,
and it must inevitably prevail
everywhere. Little Falls should
step up into line with the many
