John Iaams, an old settler who died
in Galveston, Tex, recently aged O2,
was probably the last person living who
had known the celebrated pirate, La
fitte. Iaams often described Lafitte,
whom he had seen frequently at Bara-
tava and afterward at Galveston. The
old Texan, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, was boy then, but peculiarities
of the buccaneer remained fixed firmly
in his memory. Iaams said that Lafltte
was in tho habit of going up the bayous
running into Berwicks bay with his
boats and a number of men. He was of
vigorous build and very good natured.

his word was law 10 them. They would

Of the people cared to excite their re-

SUNDAY BEER SOLD IN KEGS.
Comm isSioncrs Sanction Legislation
to Suppress the Practice.

NJ l. Weller was granted a hearing by
the District Commissioners in board ses-
sion yesterday afternoon relative to the
matter of preventing the sale of beer in
kegs by brewers on Sunday. Mr. Weller
appeared before the board at the request
of Father Matthews of st. Cyprian's
Church. who has long been opposed TO the
sale of beer under these conditions, on the
ground that it interferes with the peace OF
the Sabbath.
Mr. Weller explained that careful in
vestigatiOn disclosed the fact that more
than 200 kegs of beer had been sold by one
brewery on one Sunday. The usual price
was so cents per gallon. and men who were
not DESTROYS OF going TO the breweries
themselves would send minors to get the
beer for them. These young men were fire.
I quenuy seen by church goers in south
east Washington hurrying along the streets
] with kegs of beer on their backs.
II was at first suggested that an amend
ment be made to House bill i0549, for the
regulation of the sale of liquors in the
District of Columbia. In view of the fact
that it would be impossible in the present
short session of Congress to obtain action
on such a long bill. it WIS decided that Il
/ short bill covering the point at issue alone
would be better.
! At the suggestion OF Commissioner Ross,
] Mr. Weller was asked to consult with S. T.
/ Thomas. the attorney for the District. and
assist him in preparing a suitable bill.
/ This bill will not seek TO impose a license
! for the sale of the beverage, but will en-
deavor TO prevent its saie entirely or Sun
/ day. Mr.. Weller said:
{ Il think a short bill viii cover The sub
| iect. / do not think the brewers make
profit enough out Of these Sunday sales to

1t is understood that the Commissioners
have agreed TO permit the use OF horse
cars, and that the Capital Traction Com
pany and the Capital Railway and Ana
costa Railway companies will transfer at
either Eighth and NJ Street southeast, or
at Eighth and q Streets southeast. This
will temporarily remedy the transit prob

DR.. R. B. Buckley was the first 10 be

Friday night and recited the change Of
sentiment which was caused among the
people of AnacOstia by the apparent sin
cerity of the promises of Messrs. Crosby
and Stevens to give them better service
and rapid transit. Concluding, DR.. Buck
ley said:
After hearing Messrs. Crosby and
Stevens last night the people Of Anacostia
feel that the gentlemen are in earnest.
We are confident that il is their intention
to eventually give us such means Of trans
portation as we deserve. We are not

This company has had the contract for
several years, but recently the Potomac

that the work be given out by bids, and
proposals were submitted and opened on
December - last.
Upon the recommendation of Engineer
Commissioner Beach, North Capitol Street
will hereafter be business street from G
to II Streets northwest. 1t has been so
considered for years from G to G Streets
and Captain Beach thought that it wo I'D
be proper to consider the square beyond G
