THE WORK OF RELIEF,
District Soldiers Can Secure Their
Discharge on Application

The executive committee of the commit
tee to secure employment for District VOL
unteers out of work was to have held a
meeting this afternoon, but owing to the
absence from the city of Vice Chairman
McGill and Mr.. A. E. Randle and the ina
bility of Secretary Mccormick to be pres
ent. it was decided by Chairman Wolf to
postpone it for few days.
Chairman Wolf has received from Major
Sylvester a letter addressed to the latter by
Assistant Adjutant General Ward, inform
Ing him that the members of the District
regiment are now furlough for sixty
days, but that any individual who may de-
sire to secure his discharge at once can do
so upon proper application. 1t is thought
this decision may result in allowing me-
chanics in the regiment to secure work in
some of the government shops, it having
been decided recently that soldiers on fur
Tough receiving government pay cannot re-
ceive wages for government work at the
same time.
The number of applications for employ
ment received by Clerk Vinton, in charge of
the bureau in the Atlantic building, up to
date Is eighty-four, seventy-seven being
men and six women Twenty were me-
chanics. thirty-three had no trade and
twentyfour were clerks The total num-
Der of positions secured for soldiers SO far
has been twenty.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
HAMILTON, Va, September %, 1898.
The colored people of upper Loudoun
county, Va, celebrated the issuance of the
emancipation proclamation today. PEOPLE
came in afoot and in vehicles. and by noon
the town was crowded. There was a large
parade, which included a chariot drawn by
six white horses, IN which was the queen
and maids of honor, all arrayed in spotless
white costumes. Thu Zee bands were in line
and over a mile was covered by carriages
following the procession. At 3 o'clock there
was speaking in the grove. The welcoming
address was by Rev. S. P Fisher of
Middlebury, Va.
paper by Mrs. Julia Mason Layton of
Washington, D. c., was read. She urged
upon her audience to educate the youth
head hand and heart; acquire property
and lead moral lives. She referred in glow
ing terms &c the valor of the 9th and 10th
Cavalry and the oath and 18th Infantry
in the late war.
Just after she finished one of the 10th
Cavalry. who was present and who was
wounded in the battle at Santiago, said:
Madam, allow me to shake your hand
and in the name of the boys extend you
thanks for the beautiful tribute you raid
us. l know you little expected to see TODAY
one of the men who fell, stricken with
wounds on that day"

day. His Grafton was received with great
applause.

Cases of Arrest,

The number of arrests made in a COM
munity should not be accepted as indica-
tive of the disorder and crime committed
therein. In the District of Columbia it has
long been the practice in gathering and re-
porting upon statistics of arrests to count
the number of cases. although there may
have been several against one individual
For instance, a man may be charged with
being drunk and disorderiy, which would
make one case. and also with profanity
which would make a second case, although
but one arrest is made. A man may be ar
rested ten times a year as an habitual
drunkard and ten separate and distinct
cases will go down upon the record under
the caption "Habitual drunkenness" It.
therefore, follows that the number of ar
rests given In this report does not mean
that that many persons have been arrest
ed, but that SO many violations of the Dis
trict ordinances and statutes relating to the
District have been brought to the atten-
ton OF the courts or dismissed by the po-
lice, as the circumstances justified
With this explanation, an Investigation of
the statistics of arrest show that during
the last fiscal year the police chronicled
p, 237 cases ian increase over the preceding

LIZA. 81, lDl'r
AS further Endorsement of the sugges-
ton hereinbefore stated, attention is in
vited to the existing provisions in other
municipalities.
The superintendent says:
The proposed law would not discriminate
in any manner as between those who have
already been provided with a pension and
those who might be under the proposed
law; and, on the other hand, there is AN ill
centive or Involvement embodied in the
proposition for proper acquttal on the part
of a private whereby he may attain an Off
GERS position, and thereby secure an in
creased amount of pension in his old age
So far as the officers are concerned, since
the establishment of the pension fund none
of them have applied for retirement under
its provisions, although the widow of one
superintendent is now receiving $50 per
month. Consequently the amount liable to
be expended for them would be insignifi-
cant.

minds and a rooted sorrow at heart. They
have no place in the history of letters, and
yet 1t is in writing alone that they can give
expression to their wit. No bronze or

posterity, but 1t is in the fimsy leaves of
cheap editions and comic journals that the
modern writers seek to attain a lasting
success.
Here in France a certain number of
French humorists, attracted by their sim

to have their frequent use of slang and
colloquial phrases. The best Of them are

DRY GOODS.

New York, Jan. 22.-The week closes
with quiet market in nearly all classes
OF cotton goods. Woolens show no change
of moment. The number of buyers in the
market through the week has been a
fair one too. In jobbing business the re-
suit has been generally satisfactory, a
fairly good movement of goods has taken
place. Strike troubles have had a disquiet-
ing effect on the local market, but the
final effect has been to add strength to
the demand for all staple lines and to sus
tain prices. The advance in print cloths
has helped the market Brown and
bleached goods are firm at the quoted
prices prevailing and colored and coarse
cottons show no weakening. Prints have
gained in interest during the week, the
latter part of it showing more salisfac>
tory results than the early part
