The Rev. DR.. Michael ". HANNA, to
whom has been teudered the presidency Of
Wirtenberg College. Of Springfield. Ohio.
the largest Lutheran Institution in the
West, is at present in Europe. His ap-
partmeuts, at 1886 Massachusetts, Avenue,
have been closed pending his return, which
is expected in the fall He is accompanied
By his wife on his trip abroad
II Is not believed in Lutheran circles OF
this city that Dr. HANNA anticipated being
chosen for the Ohio place. and it is con-
sidered uncertain whether he VIII accept
the honor His preparations had been
made for permanent residence N Wash
ington.
DIR. HANNA IS Of independent means, and

recently built, but that il had Succeeded
only in concentrating the nuisance in the
trench complained Of. She adds that the
slightest rainfall causes an accumulation
of water. which remains for days, ard
has become offensive both TO sight End
smell.
In reply TO this complaint the Commits
sioners have approved a report OF C. b.
Hunt, the Computing Engineer, to the ef-
feet that investigation shows the eondi-
tions spoken of by the writer 10 have been
much improved within the past few days
The attention Of the Commissioners has
been called again, by letter from Charles
G. Allen, TO the complaint made some
weeks ago relative TO notices served upon
Mrs. Julia Hanson by the District officials
TO remove the fence at the north end of
premises, 1919 + Street northwest.
At the time the matter was considered
by the Commissioners il was decided on
the showing of the owner of the premises
in question that the notice should be in
definitely postponed. and Mr.. Allen was
so informed. The intention OF the Com
nissioners in taking this action was to
settle the question in dispute in accord
ance with opinion submitted by the
Attorney for the District TO the effect
that the fence under dispute does not en-
eroach on the alley, but marks the NORTH
ern boundary OF the lot owned by Mrs.
Hanson.
Now. however. the attorney writes that
the indefinite postponement of the notice
indicates a pOstponement merely and not
a settlement OF the difficulty. The attor-
ney states that the manner in which the
matter is left does not assure his client
that notices OF similar impoFl VIII not be
served upon her in the futur1. and he de-
clares that such disposition of the cese
cannot be accepted by Mrs. Hanson as sat
isfactOry. Continuing. the letter OF the
attorney says:
your action in the premises tends TO
throw cloud upon the title Of Mrs. Han
son, and / must insist in her behalf that
all claim on the part OF the District 10 the
land in question be withdrawn in a man
ner as unequivocal as that in which il was
asserted. / ask an unconditional with
drawal Of the order"
In submitting his letter 20 the Commits
sioners. Mr.. Allen offered verbal state
ment to the effect that his client had been
subjected 10 three notices OF the kind com
planned OF. and that she desired to have the
matter so adjusted on the records that no
further notice should be sent her 10 re-
move the fence which has been shown to
be on her own property, or at least cn the
line between her holdings and those CT the
District.
At the instance of Capt. Lansing II.
Beach, the Engineer Commissioner, the
Board has decided TO send letter to Mr..
Allen. stating that the Commissioners rec
ognize that the dedication OF the land OF
the alley made by Mr.. Ennis was not &
legal one, and that the portion Of Mrs.
! Hanson's lot which was attempted to be
dedicated by Mr.. Ennis does net belong to
the District. and that the order directing
her TO remove the fence Is withdrawn

ON BEHALF OF THE POOR.
Protest Against Restricting the
Dumping of Ashes and Waste.

Dumping of Ashes and Waste.
Mrs. NJ c. Rugg. agent OF the North
east division Of the Associated Charities
Of the District. has written TO the Gem
missioners calling attention to the order
recently issued prohibiting the dumping
Of refuse on the fats in the vicinity Of
Eighteenth Street northeast.
Permit me to call your attention" she
writes, ito a matter which concerns the
welfare Of many who live on the extreme
northeast common, beyond Eighteenth
Street, and which works a hardship TO
them. l refer 10 the order lately Issued
prohibiting the dumping Of ashes, etc, On
the fats bordering on the river in the
above mentioned neighborhcod. The resi-
dents say that the order was issued be
cause some collectors dumped their loads
where they should not. il was impossible
20 detect the violators of the rules and
consequently all had to be debarred.
Your honorable body cannot be expect
ed to know the great benefit which this
dump is to the poor in that part Of the
city II supplies them with their win
ter's fuel and many make considerable
money selling the bones, rags, bottles
etc, which thev collect from the dump
One woman told me that she always made
her rent, s. a mouth, out OF it.
Now that the ashes and house refuse
are 10 De COlleCIel Dy contractor, under
District control viii il be possible to al

or is the refuse 20 be disposed Of outside
of the District? II the men under the
contractor did not dump where they shCald
the blame would be Immediately fixed
upon him and that difficulty would be OBJ
waited"
In reporting upon Mrs Riggs letter
Warner Stutler, the Superintendent of
Street Cleaning, to whom the matter was
referred. says: The order referred to
does not prohibit the dumping OF ashes
on the fats. The dumping of combustible
waste was prohibited on account Of fires
on the dumps. which were dangerous and
offensive to residents in the neighbor-
hood The ashes and miscellaneous waste
collected under the new contract will be-
come the property Of the contractor. It
is presumed that he will separate and
burn the worthless refuse, and the ashes
if not separated will be deposited on
dumps secured by the contractor and ap-
proved by the Commissioners"
The Commissioners have approved the
report of Mr.. Stutler and have issued an
order that Mrs. Rugg be informed in ac-
cordance with the same.

The handsomest soda fountain
ever In New iberia Is that which has
just been received for the new store
of Mr.. James A. Lee, the well known
druggist, for his store on Main and
Iberia streets. This fountain Is sew
en- feet high by seven feet four IN
ches wide, and is made OF onyx.
trimmed with mahogany. Onyx is
a species of agate stone, and much
of 1t IN use 10 the United States
Is found in Mexico. The color
lngs of the panels, sides and front
of the stone In this fountain are very
handsome indeed, some of them
shading from mother-of-pearl to a
sunset red; others being of green
ish hue; others being cloud color,
while some are grained like wood.
Handsome onyx columns support
the frame Of a very handsome bevel-
led mirror which occupies the centre
of a mahogany frame, while panels
formed Of mirrors are on each side
of the fountain proper. A gentle
man standing near our reporter look
ing at this beautiful addition to New
Ioeria said, .'Mr. Lee, like Pharoah's
you will get a prophet from
the wa.ers," which we considered
very a-pro.pos.

A dispatch from Atchison, Kansas
credits Mrs. Murcell, who lives near
that city, with having flock of geese
which literally lay golden eggs, all
their eggs showing traces of COLO
which they gather from the oozy
mud of an adjacent brick yard. The
clay used in this brlck yard Is taken
from the bed of White Clay creek,
a stream that emptles into the Mis-
sour, just below Atchlson. An
analysis of this mud shows that it
also contains gold, and each one of
the manufactured bricks contains
percentage of the precious metal. AS
almost every house in Atkinson is
built of these bricks, the owners have
examined their structures and found
minute particles OF gold IN their
walls. AS Mrs. Murcell has found the
goose which lays golden eggs, she is
preparing to enlarge Der flock with
view to future profits. If the
geese do not eat up the whole brick
yard the proprietors of the plant
ought to be able to clear up a small
fortune in disposlng of their product
to those credulous persons who are
always ready TO purchase gold brick.

An innovation in the postal SER
vice which is cure to be of great
convenience to all classes IS plan
lately adopted by the department
Of furnishing stamps in little books
with wax sheets between the stamps.
The government is to charge l cent
for the book, addillcn to the amour,
of stamps Contained therein, and !,
strange as 1T may seem. it is now es-
tlma.ed hat the profiton these be ok.
at cent each Will amount to some
$500, 900 per annum. When you add
to this the amount Of money thai
will be locked up in these stamps by
people carrying them around IN their
pockets and storing them away In
their writing desks, it will undoubt-
eddy give great impetus to the earn
ings of the postal department, and
the government will have the money
to use while the people have the
stamps, but the idea ls such a thor
oughly practical one that few PEG
pie will begrudge the money that
Uncle Sam secures. so loug IS they
can have their stamps in such con
venient form,
