In his opinion, the attorney for the Dis
trict states that the law requires the Com
missioners to make rules for uniform cloth
ing for the police force, which shall be pro-
cured by the members strictly in conform
ity with such rules, at their own expense
and risk. and that any member shall be
removed from the force for not complying
with such rules. The manual of the fire
department, he says, requires the firemen
TO procure uniforms at their own expense.
The Commissioners in my opinion, he
states, have no power to enter into con-
tracts for furnishing policemen and firemen
with uniforms. AS a practical matter. with
view to getting the best results for the
men, such contracts should be made with
the chiefs Of the police and fire depart
ments. respectively. Successful bidders
should give bond to the representative of
each department for the Benefit Of any
policeman or fireman who may have oc-
casion to sue upon the same. This, l un-
derstand. has been the practice for many
years. Contracts for furnishing uniforms
for policemen and f1remen, having no rela-
ton to the District of Columbia, the Com
missioners have nothing to- DO with award

Puerto Rican Crops.

1t seems a little strange to receive
crop reports from the ''climate and crop
service of the weather bureau of the
United States department of Agricul-
ture, puerto Rico section, central sta
ton, San JUAN" but the strangeness
will 0 wear off. Director Hardinge,
of the Santa Fe Office of the bureau, re-
ceives such reports every week, the last
of which was received on Saturday.
dated San Juan, January 30.
According to the report conditions on
the island are very favorable for all
crops, particularly tobacco and coffee.
The report concludes as follows: The
hope of this country lies almost solely
in the lesser products, and the director
of the section adds the explanation that
abundant manuring only is needed to
make the country smile with prosperity,
and to this the military governor adds
in summing up the economic question Of
this island, that in this cultivation-that

in Spanish, onions, beans, rice and 9th
ers actually too numerous to mention
lies the salvation, financially, OF the
poor, unfortunately too common here.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.
TAXATION OF BUILDING AND
LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.

Hon. James s. Duncan has introduced
a substitute In the council which seeks
to modify the bill previously presented by
him relative to taxing building and loan
associations. He thinks that the mem
bers of both houses should stand by him
in the matter of providing more funds
for the territory and believes that If they
do. it will be mn easy matter to pay of
the appropriations ordered through new
legislation. He insists that all corpora
tions and building and loan associations
shall contribute their mite to the public
Golfers and thus pay the moneys appro-
priated for the maintenance of the edu-
cational institutions. Concerning these
matters, and building and loan associa-
tions in particular, Mr.. Duncan said to
the New Mexican representative: 1T
seems peculiar that when a bill Is IN

1t should not be, but apparently is,
necessary to remind some of the breth-
rem that the Strauss who died last week
was not the original Johann, but his
eldest son. There may be some dispute
as to which is popularity termed "the
waltz king" but it was the father who
first made the family name famous,
and of whom the more laudatory ac-
counts have been written by biogra-
piers and commentators. 1t should be
added, by the way, that these enco-
miums were not written because the
composer made cheap music but good
music. The tribute paid to the Strauss
genius by Wagner and other men who
have devoted their lives to what are
usually described as the higher forms
of music was often deserved by the son
quite as much as the father, but his
artistic prestige is less. 1t is proof of
| the strength of inherited tendencies
that Johann, Joseph and Eduard, the
| three sons of the original Strauss, be-
came musicians and composers and
waltz kings, in spite of their fathers
| express commands, for he intended
them all to be educated for other pro-
| fessions.
The one who has just died was greater
by far than either of his brothers. He
was the composer of the Blue Dan
ube," Wine, women and song" Ar
fist life" New Vienna" and most of
| the other more celebrated Strauss
waltzes," and of several admirable light
operas.

COMING OF FRANK DANIELS.
Everyone Looking Forward to Witnessing
The Idols Eye" at Worcester Theatre.

The many admirers of Frank Daniels
will have an opportunity this week of
seeing that distinctly unique comedian
again in his great comic opera sue
cess, 1.-THE idols eye" Daniels en-
gagement will be played at the Wor-
cester Theatre and judging from MANY
inquiries at the box office, since il WAS
announced that he would be here dur
ing the season, the forthcoming en-
gagement will be one of the most pros
porous in his career.
The opera has been seen here, but if
has been seen in every other large citv
during the last and this season, and on
the second engagement Daniels has
done larger business than he did dur
ing the first appearance in his produc-
ton. He has added much new materi-
al to his Interpretation since he was
seen here and those who have been
present during any of his recent per
fOrmances, say that he has greatly en-
HANGED the value of his opera. His
support this year is pronounced by The
press is those cities in which he has
been seen adequate in every particular.
The two or three weak points noticed
during the last season have beer
strengthened, new scenery and new
costumes PROVIDED, constant rehearsaIS
kept up, until now in the opinion Of the
Boston and other critics. Manager
Kirke La Shelle has provided Frank
Daniels with as complete a comic opera
organization as it is possible for money
talent and energy to produce.

says. is the financial condition of the
church which, laden with q debt makes
il difficult to pay him the salary ne
receives. He felt that in justice to the
society. he should leave in order that
q man who could afford to accept
smaller salary might be called. He has
recognized for some time that the
church had been paying him more than
it could afford. and the only relief pos
sible as far S he could see, would be
in his resignation. He has asked, for
this reason, to be relieved from the
charge of the church the last of July,
the end of his third years pastorate-
Dr. Harris was made pastor of the
First Universalist church in 1879, and in
q short time the church had grown to
such an extent that he felt the need of
forming another society. a Sunday
school was first formed, which met at
10 May street, and later on the chapel
on Kilby street, now occupied by the
First Presbyterian church, was built.
May l, 1890 he was called to the Church
Of Redeemer in Chicago. where
he went at once, without even having
preached a trial sermon. In the lat
Ter part of 1895 he went to Reading,
Pa, where he staid until November,
1896 when he came back to Worcester
to accept a smaller salary at All Souls
church than he received in Reading.
He felt that the little congregation on
Woodland street looked up to him as a
father, and his duty was with this, his
first child.
DR.. Harris is a graduate of st. Law
renee university, Canton, New York,
and in 1888 received the honorary de-
gree Of NJ A. from that institution,
which was followed by the degree OF
D. D. in 1891 from that place, making
him the only man who ever received
two honorary degrees from that uni
versity. He was for 10 years trus-
tee and director Of the Universalist
Publishing House, Boston, nine years
member Of the executive board Of the
Massachusetts, UniVersalist state con-
Vention, trustee for eight years Of
Dean academy Of FRANKLIN and on the

The resignation Of Rev. DR.. Moses H
Harris will be regretted by a large con
