Substitution for an article sought
BY legitimate buyer is wrong treat
ment and bad policy, from a number
OF points OF view. To begin with, the
average buyers know what they
want, and object to being told that
such and such thing is better" or
lust as good" that the same man
or hrm makes or bottles it and it
must be all right" The dealer who
makes these arguments stands in his
own light, and he deserves to be sat
down upon and his methods shown
up.
A great many physicians feel that
their patients would be benefited bv
the use of little good whiskey.

To League Umpires:
Please note carefully the following in
structions for 1899:
1. Wear a neat blue flannel uniform.
= Absolute honesty and sobriety Is de-
manded of every umpire.
3. Enforce the rules to the letter. just as
they are written. Study to be master of
yourself and you can better control others.

every word that is spoken by players in
the heat of contest, unless IL is vulgar or
insulting and directed to or intended for
your ear heard by others In that case
do not hesitate a second TO do your duty
No umpire can expect to hold his position
unless he complies to the letter with his
Instructions. and no umpire need have any
fear of losing his position who complies
with the same, unless, after a fair trial, he
is clearly incompetent.
4. Consider all assignments strictly con-
fldential.
). AS soon as you reach any city let me
know by first mail where you are stopping.

SEWER ASSESSMENTS.
Opinion of Attorney Thomas Respect
ing Notice Thereof.

The attorney for the District has, In the
case of James F. Barbour, rendered an
opinion to the effect that notice of sewer
assessments must be served upon the owner
of the lots, If ne is a resident, and his res
idence known, and If he be a nonresident
or his residence be unknown, upon his ten
ant or agent, as the case may be.
An assessment was made in 1897 for sewer
on lots l6 and II, square 800, and the same
advertised for sale The records of the Dis
trict show, stated Mr.. Barbour in a letter
to the Commissioners, that notice of the
assessment was served upon John A. Ham,
ilton. Mr.. Barbour requested permission to
pay the assessment without interest or cost
for the following reasons: Because the
notice was improperly served; because at
the time the property was, as 1t had been
for some time, in his name; because he was
in the city, having a place of residence, as
well as place of business, both being given
In the city directory, and because Mr.. Ham
ilton, having no interest In the property,
doubtless mislaid or failed to hand the no
tice to him.
The matter was referred to Mr.. ]. w.
Daniel, special assessment clerk, who re-
ported to the Commissioners as follows:
THE records of this office show that an as
sessment for sewer against sublots 16 and
II, square 800, was entered of record April
8, 1897, and that bills therefor We're served
upon John A: Hamilton. who said he would

bour James F., 1741 R. I. avenue 1t con-
tains no mention of any business address
of Mr.. James F. Barbour. The service of
the bills seems to me to be correct and
valid"
The question was next referred to the at
torney for the District, who reports that
the ground of the application is that notice
of the assessment was not properly served
upon Mr. Barbour. the owner of the lots.
Service" says the attorney, "on Mr.. John
A. Hamilton, who said he would hand the
bills to Mr.. Barbour is insufficient" Then,
after explaining how such notices must be
served, as stated above, the attorney says,
in conclusion: my opinion is it would be
good administration to accept the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Barbour to pay the sewer as
sessments without interest and COSTS
The Commissioners, upon the suggestion
of Capt. Beach. the Engineer Commits
sioner have disposed of the matter by di-
recting that new bill be made out and
served upon Mr.. Barbour. and that he then
be allowed to pay whatever charges may
properly be due on the bill thus rendered.

UP THE ORINOCO.
Account by Minister LOOmis of the
Trip of the Wilmington.

United States Minister Loomis, at Ca
racas, has sent to the State Department an
account of trip made by the U. s. S. Will
mington up the Orinoco and along the north
coast of Venezuela, in which he says that
the Wilmington made a strong and agree
able impression wherever she went in Ven
eZuela. THE splendid condition and ap-
pearance of the men and the boat" he
said, never failed to call forth praise from
those who saw them. AS a result of the
trip, think it will be found that American
prestige has been substantially augmented,
and the idea of American power and ie-
sources, vitalized by the war, enormously
deepened and widened. Practical results
are coming, too in the way of increased
commerce with the United States, and IL
our merchants and manufacture will take
advantage of the favorable conditions that
have been created for them they ought to
profit very largely.

Saturday afternoon, defeating the strong
team from the Baltimore City College by 0

the game, and this. together with frequent
showers, made base ball anything but an
agreeable pastime. Brooks, the twrler for
the Baltimore City College. was rather wild
and in the first two innings gave numerous
bases on balls. AS a result the Agriculture
lists ran up four runs, thus gaining lead
which the Baltimoreans were unable to
overcome.
The City College boys showed an inability
to hit the ball when men were on bases.
Brooks touched up only for five hits,
while Reuber, for NJ A. c.. was hit for
eleven safe ones. The City College made
four errors, while NJ. A. G. made seven.
