THE ARMY CANTEEN.
Senator Hansbrough Takes Issue
With the Attorney General.

Senator Hansbrough takes issue with the
Attorney General in the latter's opinion al
ready published in The Star in regard to
anti-canteen amendment in the form of a
separate section to the army bill, and says
that in his opinion the intent of Congress in
passing the section was to prohibit the sale
of intoxicating liquors in post exchanges
or canteens, as well at encampments
forts and other premises used for military
purposes.
After reviewing the arguments of the At
torney General and his opinion that a civil
ian may be employed at canteen to sell
liquor, Senator Hansbrough says:
The Attorney General comedies that the
Secretary of War must direct the discon-
tinuance Of liquor selling in the canteen
by any officer or private soldier. Why
then, is he not equally bound to direct the
discOntinuance of liquor selling by any
civilian on any premises used for military
purposes? Having stopped the sale in the
canteen by the officer or soldier, as the
Attorney General says the Secretary must
do, and having forbidden the sale on the
premises by the civilian, which Congress
directs him to do. is it logical to say that
the civilian may be employed to sell in the
canteen which is on the premises used for
prohibits sales by any other person on
any premises used for military purposes
must stand or fall, it appears to me- with
the one which forbids the sale in canteens
by officers or soldiers and the EMPLOYMENT
of a civilian to sell liquor in the canteen
would, know, be violation of the spirit
and purpose Of the whole section

His Innocence EstabIisbed.

Il am not guilty of the charge" was the
plea of John Jennings, colored, when ar
raigned before Judge Kimbau today on a
charge of vagrancy.
I've known Jennings for a long time,
said Policeman Jack, land for six months
he has not done a lick of work. He does
nothing but hang about the saloon at Goth
and L streets and carry beer in cans for
women and children"
The defendant insisted that he had been
regularly employed at Lewis Carrolrs bar
Der shop for about two weeks.
That's not true" interrupted Policeman
Jack.
Jennings said he was working for 81 a
week and what extra money he could
make.
'If you don't believe me-" he said, "you
can send for Mr.. Carroll"
Judge Kimball did as Jennings suggested,
and Carroll substantiated what the cOlored
man had told the court, fatty contradicting
the officer.
The court dismissed the case and Jennings
went away with his employer.

ART ~ AMERICA.
An Artists Views ON Foreign Pic-
lures for American GalIefteS.

Mr.. q. 8. Traesdell, who is well known in
Washington by his painting entitled Going
to Pasture in the Corcoran Gallery of Art
and a number of canvases in private col
lections here, spent the week visiting old
friends in various studios. Since leaving
Washington, In 1889, Mr.. Truesdell has
worked steadily in France, and he returns
with the distinction of having received
second medal at the salon. He has taken
a studio at 40 East 21st street, in New
York, and after his many years of residence
abroad will now remain in this country.
II am thoroughly pleased with the new
Corcoran Gallery" said Mr.. Truesdell yes
terday. ut is destined to be regarded as
the great national gallery of America The
applause that broke out so frequently at
the New York sales when mention was
popularity. 1t should be said that the trus-
tees of this gallery lead the way in their
sane and self-respecting policy toward
American artists-a course which should
put to shame the methods adhered to by
the Metropolitan Museum in New York and
some other galleries, public and private.
that might be mentioned. The purchase of
the works of foreign artists, simply because
they are foreign, has gone far enough.
Il believe the trustees of the Corcoran
Gallery have called a halt on such insanity.
We have done we'll in buying good works
by French, German and English artists,
D0f, alas! how much evil by Silly buying.
Dealers have doomed foreign names that
are without reputation in Europe, and pic
lures have been bought under the dictates
of fashion rather than the canons of true
art We have American painters who equal
those abroad. Men represented in the Cor
coran GalleryIike Bridgeman, Weeks,
Charles H. Davis, Tryon, Bolton Jones,
Murphy. Inness, Alexander Harrison and
others-paint as well as the French or Ger
man artists whose pictures, by the cum
ming Of the dealers. have crowded the
works of our own artists to the wall
"All American artists ask or need is fair
play. But for Americans to boast that
they have only French or foreign work in
their collections Is rank folly Suppose
France were to buy for the Louvre or the
Luxembourg only the work of foreigners.
France cherishes art and has grown great
by it. Why are the French people superior
in art and craftsmanship? 1t is because they
have set up high ideals of art in the salon
and their national galleries, and there radi-
ahes down through every walk of life a
knowledge and respect for art. They add
to this a patriotic jealousy of foreign art
lists while honoring their own. 1t Is sig
nificant that no one but F'renchman thus
far has received higher recognition at the
salon than the second medal"

PROSECUTOR PuGH's MAIL.
Letters Received Upon All Possible
SUbjects-Chinnman Request.

There Is probably no District official who
receives a larger assortment of communi-
cations than does Prosecuting Attorney
Pugh. Letters reciting family troubles,
as we'll as family secrets, are received by
him almost every day, and in some of these
epistles difficulties too deep for any one to
harmonic are submitted to Mr.. Pugh for
settlement. 1t was only few days ago
that an old citizen called on him and asked
his advice about the prospective sale of a
cow. What he had to do with the sale of
tie animal the attorney did not know, but
the old citizen soon let him know that he
had seen his name in the paper number
of times as having given advice, and he
thought he could get the benefit Of his
Knowledge on the COW question. 1t is true,
the prosecutor lives almost out of the city
proper, but not enough to admit of his
being admitted to membership in any or
ganization of farmers. Having an interest
in farm somewhere In the mountains of
Pennsylvania, however, Mr.. Pugh pro-
ceeded to tell the old man all he had ever
read or heard about COWS.
Il thought l wasn't wrong" the old man
said when the prosecutor had finished his
story. "A man who knows you met me at
the door, and assured me that I was in the
right place"
Yesterdays mail brought to the attorney
letter from celestial, and Mr.. Pugh adj
mits that 1t beats anything he has ever re-
ceived. Were he to take the letter seriously,
and adopt the suggestions which it con-
tains, he might soon find himself presiding
at a meeting of the local Chinese laundry
I,.en
The letter reads:
For some time 1 have been contem-
plating getting the Cinnamon Of this city
to form union of all laundries conducted
by them, in order to keep up prices and to
protect reasonable prices. At present every
Chinese laundry has varied price-list, as
no doubt you well know. This f1uctuation
is very injurious to the trade. Do you not
think it a just move in the right direction
to have all the aforesaid laundries to COM
bire and form union, SO to protect fair
and reasonable prices? At the rate things
are now going, we are actually getting
nothing in return for very hard labor. We
must all liv5, and with this end in view
write to you. l would like very much for
You to help me in the formation of this
union of laundrymen. / will, for a stated
length of time, give you one-half the profits
If we can control prices, which shall be
drafted at the first meeting of the aforesaid
union of all Chinese laundries, to be held
al an early date. l would like for you to
send me an answer that 1 can easily inter-
pret. If you can send me an answer in the
Chinese language L would appreciate it
very much 1T would be easier for me.
please give this your especial attention.
This is one of the letters received by the
prosecuting attorney which was promptly
consigned to the waste basket.
