Lovers Of Rod aud Gun.

The Virginia Rod and Gun Club,
organized by prominent business men
of this city, opened its club house and
grounds to its many members and
friends last Sunday, The club house is
situated on the old historic Alexander
estate, about quarter OF mile from
the railroad at -Four Mile Run. 1t is one
OF the most beautiful and picturesque
estates on the Virginia side Of the
Potomac, besides commanding mag
niicent view Of the city.
President Burrows, and John c.
KesseI, the Secretary of the club,
together with the reception committee,
are to be congratulated for the clever
and hospitabIe manner arranP Pements
had been perfected for the comfort OF
the guests. Everything possible was
done to make the visitors feel at home,
even the "Old Club Bus" with its two
horses was pressed into service to
convey the boys to and fro. After the
guests had been shown the various
points Of interest, new sites for bowling
alley, shooting and fishing grounds, they
were treated to a plank shad din er
which was especially prepared for them
by the old caterer of Marshall Hall. A
banjo and mandolin quartet also helped
to pass the evening pleasantly. Every
body went away pleased with the
courtesy and goodfellowship shown by
the club.

Inhorine Men Protect.

A mass meeting was held at Masonic
Hall last Monday night under the aus
pices OF District Assembly 66, Knights
ofLabor, and the local council of the
American Federation OF Labor, to pro-
test against the action OF the EVsgiRR
Star in having the stonecutting for its
new building done outside the District
of Colum bia The meeting was in the
interest of the local body of tile National
Stonecutters' Association, and was
attended bv probably five hundred peo-
pie. Some very strong language was
used during the meeting, and Senator
Proctor and his quarries, where it is
proposed that the stone shall be cut,
were attacked in the hitterest terms.
Mr.. McHugh characterized tbs labOr
conditions at Proctor, VT. as out
rageously bad, The workmep, he said,
were practically slaves. He read several
communications telling of the untortu
nate conditions at Proctor. The reso-
lutions adopted call upon the Star, as a
local institution, supported entirely by
the community of the District, as
matter OF right and justice, to give the
Is or roo men, members Of the Stone
Cutters Union Of the District of Col
umbia me benefits that may accrue from
having the work done here, and thus
enable the wOrkmen TO contribute to
the welfare of the general public and
business men who are patrons of that
naner.

Washing His Front Yard.

The residentsin the vicinity Of Lincoln
Park have been much distressed by the
custom inaugurated by Representative
Showalter of hanging out his weekly
washing in the front yard of his house at
IoI6 East Capitol street every Monday
morning It seems that while the Con
gresham from the Twenty fifth Penn.
sylvania District has been shaping public
policy IN the halls OF legislation, the aes
thetic sense of his neighbors who spend
the day at home has been outraged by
the display oithe family laundry which
has been allowed to flutter TO the breeze
from the parking on East Caption street.
Not only was washing hang out at his
house, but, so the complaining parties
say. a number OF other families on the
street, not wishing to get behind the
fashion, followed fast in his wake with
a like exhibition every week. The
Commissioners were accordingly ap"
pealed to by the more conservative
residents 10 put their foot down, and this
they have done by instructing the police
to notify the parties in question that the
public parking cannot be used for the
purpose ofdrying their weekly washing

INFORMATION FOR BREWERS
AND OTHERS.
BREWERS AGENTS.


Persons calling themselves agents of
brewers in the sale of original stamped
packages Of beer should obtain and fur
nish abstracts from the books Of the
brewers, showing how the beer is
charged, or billed, and also a statement
under oath by the brewers, showing that
the beer remains absolutely their pro-
perty in the hands of these persons
until sold, and that these persons are
under their orders and control in MAX
ing such sales. The order OF the De-
partment to the collector of the third
district of Texas reads:
From the sflidavits accompanying
your letter OF the Sth ultimo, concerning
the question OF the special tax liability
Of ID. c. Muenster, as a wholesale dealer
in malt liquors at Luling, Tex, on ac-
count of his sale and delivery Of original
stamped packages Of beer shipped to
him by the San Antonio Brewing Asso-
ciatIon, it appears that Mr.. Muenster is
not held responsible by the brewing
association for any losses on the beer
thus shipped to him but that he sells
all this beer for them and on their ac-
count, receiving a commission on the
sales. The fact that he receives COM
mission instead Of a salary does not
make him any less the agent Of the
brewing association, and, as it appears
that he is such agent bona Jiae, he is not
required to pay special tax as a whole.
sale dealer in malt liquors for making
such sales.
"The general ruling with reference TO
all persons selling original tsmped
packages Of beer, and calling themselves
agents of the brewers from whom they
receive the beer, is that a mere verbal
or written agreement or power Of attor.
ney declaring such persons agents is not
sufficient to establish the agency bona
where doubt exists on this point the
agent should be called upon to obtain
from the brewers and furnish abstracts
from the books showing the manner
IN which the packages OF beer shipped
are charged or billed. He should also
be called upon to furnish a statement
under oath by the brewers setting forth
that the person in question is acting
solely as agent for them in the sale of
original stamped packages Of beer, and
that the beer remains absolutely the
property OF the brewers in the hands Of
this agent until sold, and that the latter
is under the orders and control of the
brewers in making such sales.

Local Rotes.
Low Rates for Carnival.

The Jubilee committee has been
assured by the trunk line railroads that
half fares will be sold on all lines within
a radius Of 900 miles from Washington.
This will mean that people east of
Chicago, and in practically all OF the
Southern States, will be able to attend
the coming jubilee at half rates.
The committee has been working indus
triousIy to secure this advantage, and
the result is the practical assurance OF
large attendance from out of town during
the events of the celebration.

INNOCENT HOLDERS WILL Nor SUFFER
The Internal Revenue Bureau has in
course of preparation circular letter to
collectors, IN which they are directed
to forward to the Bureau all applications
for reliet from innocent holders OF cigars
stamped with counterfeit stamps and
purchased from Jacobs, the Lancaster,
Pa, cigar manufacturer lately arrested
by Secret Service officials.
II is prabable that innocent dealers
who have actually paid TOR the cigars
will be permitted to retain them on
condition that they restamP them.
Cigars not paid for will be sol and the
proceads turned into the Treasury. 1t
is not thought that Jacobs has been able
to use counterfeit stamps IN excess of
$4,000 or St7 900.
A later examination shows that IscObs
had defrauded the Government out Of
about SI7s 600 with the bogus revenue
stamps, the books showing the difference
between the number OF cigars actually
produced at the factory ond the number
that he reported to The revenue Office as
having been made.

NEW B ,ER TAX IN PENNSYLVANIA.

NEW sER TAX IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania has
just passed a law imposing a tax OF =
cents per gallon on all beer, ale and
porter brewed in the State, which
equalizes the taxation of breweries in
the State. Under the law Of 1897 the
small brewer who brewed less than LOCO
barrels year had to pay a tax OF IS
cents per barrel, while the brewer who
brewed 100000 barrels a year had to
pay only ~ cents per barrel. This
distinction is abolished by the law just
passed. Under it every brewer has to
pay the same tax OF 3 cents per gallon.
1t is estimated that the State will derive
an additional revenue OF $500 600 annu-
ally from this tax.
