and that if it was done in wsntonnss he
would take the party to court.
This report was approved by the Com
missioners and the complainant viii be adj
vised in accordance Herewith
Folney Eaton, Secretary of the Capital
Construction Company, whose letter to the
Commissioners relative to the removal OF
ashes from apartment houses was recently
published in The Times. has again ad
dressed them on the subject.
1t will be recalled that the former let
ter of Mr.. Eaton was returned 20 the Com
missioners by the Superintendent of StFest
Cleaning, with the statement that ashes
would be removed by the contractor from
private houses; and not from apartment
houses. hotels, etc. Mr. Eaton now says.
81 hope that this matter will be given
some thought and investigation before be-
ing finally settled. An apartment house
is no more than a group of private resi-
denees under one roof Each apartment. Or
fat, is treated under the law as a private
residence. 1t has its certain number of
rooms. with cooking facilities and private
entrance. 1t is leased as is any house, and
the contracts are all governed by the stat
utes relating TO landlord and tenants in the
District of Columbia
There are numbers of these houses in
fiat, that would probably be called private
residences. but they are as much apart
ment houses as one CT greater number OF
fats. Instead of the collector having a
great many residences to go to. he makes
but one collection, and it could be so IA
cilitated that this collection would be made
very simple and easy. At the Poftner fer
example, the ashes could be placed in cans.
as required of private residences, ana
could be raised from the pit by means OF
block and pulley ropes, already provided
and emptied into the collectors cart.
1T would be as consistent to say that
garbage should be removed from private
residences only. The act. as l understand
it, was made for the purpose OF doing away
with public nuisance, the indiscriminate
hauling of ashes by broken-Gown ash carts
and crippled animals. Leave cut the great
and increasing number of apartment
houses and the nuisance stiD exists.
l think apartment houses should be ben
flied by this appropriation for the eollec-
ton of ashes as well as any class of house,
inasmueh as the taxation is far greater
than on other property covering the same
territory
The Commissioners nave noted the re-
ceipt OF Mr. Eaton's letter and have re-
ferred it to the Superintendent of Street
Cleaning for his consideration and report.

at East Pacific Mine, Montana

Helena, Mont, July 17.-Within six
weeks from the time they secured
lease on the supposedly worked-out East
Pacific mine. fifteen miles east of Helena,
r. A. Bell and James Lanahan struck
a body of gold ore that smelter returns
on the first carload shipment show to be
worth 81 900 per ton.
The strike was made in June, but the
lessees have been concealing its rich
ness for fear that attempts might be
made to rob them if its value were
known. There is said to be a large
quantity of the ore in sight This is
the second uncovering of gold ore run
ming 81 900 per ton made in this inmed-
late vicinity within the past few weeks.
and the report of the United States as
sayer here for the period ended June 30

eral districts which formerly shipped
their bullion to Helena now send it to

China has existed for thousands of years,
and for many years missionaries have gone

all they have been taught of a god or

right way to serve the Lord. But this
right way Is something the mission

GERMANS FOR BRYAN.
Kansas City Union 500 Strong May
Land in Democratic Camp.

Kansas City, July 1.-THE Star says:
There is a movement on foot among
the members of the German-American
Citizens union to throw a heavy Ger
man vote in Kansas City to Bryan. 1t
was started because of the pro-Boer
plank in the Kansas City platform and
the Germans who are Boer sympathiz-
ers have been very busy talking Bryan.
DR.. E. Van Quasi is president of the
union, and though he has always been
a Republican, he has at least encour-
aged the Germans to talk in favor of
Bryan. The Germans in Kansas City
as a rule have voted the Republican
ticket on account of their belief in the
gold standard. There are about 500
members of the union and, though they
have made no threat to go into the
Democratic party as a body, they have
displayed great activity since the Dem
ocratic convention. They are trying to
organize the Boer sympathy in the city
in a political way.
some friends at the Missouri Republic
can club Saturday night that they
would throw 300 German votes from the
Republican to the Democratic ticket
'.Tell your people," said an officer of
the club, ''if the place where a man is
born is to figure in this canvass, we will
revive the old Junior Order of United
American Mechanics and give them
little of the old doctrine of America for
Americans. I never belonged to the or
der, but if attachment to some other
country is to control the politics of part
of our voters, then an America for
Americans society can and viii grow.
The sentiment was not unappreciated
