The Priest Turned the Joke.

They tell story of rather O'Shea, a
priest who was well known in Washing
ton county, who had some local note for
his quick wit, says the Pittsburg News.
One of his Presbyterian friends was fond
of having a joke with him. They met one
day at the postofiice, where there was
quite crowd waiting for the distribution
of the mail. which had just arrived.
Mice day, Father OShea," said the
man.
TT is a nice day, indeed, SIR replied
the priest.
Il suppose you read the news of the
queer doings down in Texas?" said the
joker interrogatively.
Il did not" replied Father O'Shea.

They're hanging all the priests and
jackasses in the state" replied the joker
"Wen WELL" commented the priest
its lucky for u.s. isn't it, that you and

Gen. Miles has very strong backing among
the people and newspapers Of the East
and this backing might be used 70 pre-
vent his denomination, and, if renomlna-
ted, his reelection. The chances are
therefore, that he VIII let Gen. Miles
alone. But Gen. Miles will not occupy
the position he once did in the estimation
of the people. Two reports being against
him, many of those who once admired
him will wonder whether. after all he Is
quite so high a type OF a soldier as ne was
thought 10 be before the war with Spain.

The actions of certain persons in New
England In sending, or attempting to send,
seditjous literature to the soldiers in the
Philippine Islands recalls the fact that
forty TO fifty years ago certain persons in
New England persisted In sending senl-

slaves in the South until summary action
was taken at Charleston in the breaking
open OF, the .postoffice and the seizure OF
such literature, and the postoftice DEPART
ment was brought to see the harmfulness

According to the reports of the New
York Herald, the new steel trust is to be
the monster Of all trusts. Mr.. John w.
Gates of Chicago is one Of the prime
movers in the organization. The Herald's
Chicago correspondent says Mr.. Gates told
him the capital stock of the combination
would be between $5O0OOO.OOO and $SOO,OOo,-
900, land he coony remarked that the
figure might reach $1,000 100000" Not the
least interesting phase of the deal. accord
ing to Mr.. Gates. would be the complete
retirement Of Andrew Carnegie from the
steel industry and the placing OF his man
tie upon the shoulders of H. c. Flick. Ii
Is understood that Mr.. Carnegie Is to re-
ceive something like $15OoOO,OOO for his i'm
mense interests. The magnitude of these
figures is almost appalling.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune Dem) says:
"That the trust evil is a serious one must
he apnarent to everybody; but it is equally
apparent that il is an evil which cannot
be overcome by hysterical legislation. An
THRUST laws are badly needed, but they
must be such laws as will stand the test
of constitutonality and leave no loophole
for escape from their penalties. The Ar
kansas law is scarcely law of this char
acter. although it certainly serves to DEM
onstrate the earnestness of the masses IN
fighting the trusts"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem9
says: This question of food adul-
iteration is one of some diff
Guilty. The fact that the prac-
tice is so general makes it all the harder
to break up AS 20 the adulterated ari-
cles not being injurious, many purchasers
would be willing TO buy them if they were
sold for what they are, and at a reduced
price. Everybody is entitled TO know
what he is buying. AS TO those articles
injurious to health. their sale should be
suppressed altogether, if that Is practica>
ble."
The Birmingham News Dem) says:
L
tons are timely and should be needed. The
greatest care should be exercised in maxi
ing colonial appointments. Political
hacks should be relegated to the rear and
the merit system should be strictly ad-
hered to. This is the part of wisdom and
economy, for unless an efficient and hon
est administration is had in these Islands
we will have trouble with the natives just
as was the case with Spain"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer Dern) says;
THE man who said that the Americans
could win every battle on the Island of
Luzon and yet lose the campaign, uttered
the truth most forcefully. Gen. Lawton
himself has said that to hold the ISL
and of Luzon it will require a standing
force of 100000 men. The support of these
men puts the problem upon a cold mathe-
matical basis Is the thing worth what 1t
will cost?''

OBSERVATION STANDS.
The BuiidinE Inspectors RECON-
mendations as to Their Erection.

The BuildinE inspectors Recon-
mendatiOns as to Their Erection.
The expressed intention OF many mer-
chants to erect observation stands in Penn
sylvania Avenue, Fifteenth and other
streets along the route of the Jubilee pro-
cessons was brought to the attention of
the District Inspector of Buildings yest=r-
day. That official applied to Engineer
Commissioner Beech for instructions. and
suggested that, if the Commissioners deem
it expedient to grant the privilege, as has
been done on former occasions, an order
be issued which would be applicable TO the
present celebration. In the opinion of the
Inspector of Buildings tac order should
read like the one which WAS issued for the
last Inauguration, and which was as fol-
lows:
No such stand shall be erected until the
plans for the same shall have been ap-
proved by the Inspector of Buildings of the
District of Columbia, and a permit for
such construction issued by that officer.
No stand shall be occupied until said in
spector has approved Its construction and
given a certificate as to its safety. Stands
in front of buildings shall not extend more
than eight feet beyond the building line,
feet above the sidewalk. All balconies used
for said purpose must be secured as di
rected by the Inspector of Buildings"
The Commissioners have approved the
suggestion.

Mt Han,Iine Church.

Arthur w. Harrison has sent a lengthy
communication to the District authorities
complaining that the Avenue cars of the
Capital Traction Company are propelled
along at so great a speed that the tenders
fly up in the air and are rendered thereby
useless Harrison informed the Commits
sioners that he had frequently seen the
ears moved along so rapidly that the fender
nets curved upward and bounded so high
in the air that they were more apt to ride
over person than to pick one up.
This" he says, leaves only the wheel
fender under the car TO prevent body
from being crushed by the wheels, and
these wheel tenders can do no more than
roll body over or push it along, break
ing and manning.
Something is wrong about the devices
on the Avenue cars, and as a resident of
the District | ask you to have the COM
pany correct it" The writer also COM
planned of the excessive speed of the same
line of cars between the Aqueduct and NJ
Street bridges.
The latter matter was referred to Lieu
tenant Swindells, of the Seventh precinct,
who reported that he had ascertained that
occasionally, when trains have been de-
layed, and at night, when the street was
practically clear of vehicles. some OF the
trains had been run in excess of the speed
permitted by the regulations. Lieutenant
Swindells called at the Office of the presi-
dent of the company and informed the
chief clerk that complaints had been en-
tered against the fast running of cars on
NJ Street. The chief clerk promised to at
tend to the matter. The police were in
structed to give the matter their close at
tention and prosecute all willfully Offend
ing motormen.
The question OF tenders was referred by
the Commissioners TO Inspector Bradshaw,
who reported that the Tenders used by the
Capital Traction Company are identical in
make and adjustment to those used by the
Metropolitan Railroad Company. He added
that the complaint OF Harrison was unwar-
ranted, and simply the result of an i'm
proper understanding of the design and
working of Tenders

Mis-. Mario Gcddes, NAV nnu.

The second annual May ball given by
Miss Marie Geddes to her dancing class
took place on Wednesday afternoon at the
Rifles Hall in G Street. Like its prede-
cessor of last season, il was a success, both
as regards the high degree of perfection
in the terpsiehorean art attained by the
little misses as well as in the crowd OF
friends and patrons who turned out en-
masse despite the weather and who were
more than compensated by the beauty,
variety and excellence of the programme
which reflected such credit on the fair
young teacher. The thorough appreciation
and enjoyment of the affair was evincei
by the rounds OF applause and the profu
sion OF flowers given to the children as
they performed their respective dances SO
gracefully and artistically. When each and
everyone acquitted themselves SO well it
would be impossible to discriminate. but
the remarkable execution of difficult steps
by Misses Ethel Morgan, Helen Geddes.
Stella Raymond. Emma Wamalling. and
last but not least, fairy-like little Nellie
White. and three-year- little Hazel
| Clark. deserve special notice. They would
have created a pang of envy among pro-
fessionals. After the Imperial Court
Quadrille in which the queen, Miss Clara
| Wise. and her pretty maids of honor, par
ticipated, the distribution of two handsome
| gold medals was awarded one to Miss En-
ma Wamalling. for selling the highest
number OF tickets, the other for the great
| est Improvement in dancing, which was
| awarded after n competitive draw among
half dozen misses TO Miss Ethel Brock
| The floor was then given up for general
| dancing, in which the large crowd partici
pated until 12:30, when the strains of
| Home, Sweet Home, reminded the merry
dancers that the hour to go had come
Miss Geddes will repeat the programme on

sidewnIk. in NEWPORT rInce.

William NJ. Bramhall recently wrote to
the Commissioners in behalf of the petit
TONERS for setting new curb and laying
granclithic sidewalks on both sides of New
port Place, protesting against the con-
struction of sidewalks ten feet wide in the
street. He asked that regulations be
adopted to prevent the erection of houses
with bay windows or other projections be-
yond the building line. Ii was Mr.. Bran
halls desire 10 have the sidewalk four
feet wide, with the parking space eight
feet wide, and also continuous space,
five feet wide, between the curb and the
sidewalk for grass and trees. The mat
ter was referred TO Computing Engineer
Hunt, who reported that, with slight mod
ifcations. the wishes of the writer and
other petitioners might be substantially
met. He stated that the building regu-
lations provide width of ten feet for
the sidewalk space on a sixty-foot street.
He therefore recommended that the side
walk be six feet wide and the tree space
four feet wide, and the Commissioners
agreed to approve such construction.

supply of water at namline Church.

The trustees of Hamline NJ. E. Church
at the corner of Ninth and P Streets north
west, recently called the attention of the
District Commissioners to the insufficient
supply of water at the church, and ex-
pressed a belief that it would prevent the
use of a water meter. The Superintendent
of the Water Department considered the
communication and forwarded a statement
to the Commissioners stating that the rea
son given by the trustees was insufficient
He said that while some loss of pressure
might be experienced by using water
meter. the superintendent thinks this loss
would be very slight if the proper size and
type of meter were used The Commits
