IT begins to look as if the whole
bottom would drop out OF the iron
market. The Federal Steel Com
pany has shut down nearly all their
mills, throwing 1000 men out of EN-.
ployment. The Wire Trust reduc.
ed the price of wire nails 81 per
key and since the strike among the
mechanics, many articles in the
building trade have dropped. 1t is
thought building material will now
be sufficiently low to enable our
builders to put up enough small
houses to accommodate the demand.

The idea prevails among men po-
litically ambitious, that they must
have an organ to howl early and
late tor their particular hobby and
to denounce any one who opposes
them. If the truth won't answer,
then lies must. Nothing is too bad
to say to let people know what the
editor thinks of any individual who
dares to differ with the policy of
that particular paper. You would
think that paper would revolution
ize the State, but after election day
you would not know such paper
was published, il you did not see
it. Its circulation was large as
long as it gave free copies away,
but after that ceased, the circula-
ton fell off trightfully aud the men
who put the money began to kick.

If you watch the shippers Of shad
at New Castle, packing their catch
OF the season, you would wonder
if they would be consumed before
they spoiled. The catch this sea-
son has been large and the prices
low. Thousands have been sailed
down for use next winter. Sailed
shad are larger than mackerel and
much preferred by great many
lovers OF brain food. With the
catch so large and the price so low
the shad should be sailed down to
a good advantage and pay big
per cent on the money invested.
The countries Of the Old World
have to draw upon the New World
for their food supplies. Starving
India will be sent 100000 bushels
of corn this week from New York.
This grain was bought with money
contributed through the Christian
Herald. There are great relief
camps outside oil every city where
thousands of men and women are
breaking stone in the glaring sun
or doing other work Tor a few cents

The City Hall through the years has
covered the ground where justice and
Ietrihution have been meted out.
Trials have been conducted here upon
whose verdict the country has waited and
watched with bated breath. Notably
among these were those of the Hon. Dan
iel f. Sickles for the shooting of Philip
Barton Key, esq, United States Attor-
White House, Feb. %, 1859.
The other, the trial of Charles Guiteau,
for the assassination of President Gar
field.
Mr. Sickles's trial was held in City
Hall, in the same room in which occurred
the trial of Guiteau. The Sickles trial
reigned in Washington and throughout the
country. There was great relief in the
community when the verdict was rem
dered. While it was one of the most de-
plorable acts, yet the prOvocatlon was
such that no juryman who had any love
and respect for the sacredness of his own
home could look with unmoved soul upon
the invasion and ruin of another without
feeling that justice had been meted to
the offender.
Mr. Sickles was cleared on the ground
of self-defense.

amount to when bonnets, wraps, furs,

1t was the end of a gala day somewhat
in contrast to the gala day on Judiciary
Square when a barbecue ushered in the
dawning of a jail building.
The last building to be erected on the
Square is the Pension Building, which oc-
cupies the north side of the Square, n
building 400 feet long by 200 wide.
This is n fireproof building A frieze
over the first story consists of terra
Gotta sculptured band three feet high, rep
resenting in relief military and naval sub
jects, a fitting attribute to the locality,
showing that the strong arm of the law
as administered at one end of the Square
will be upheld by the stronger arm of
force, il necessary, and more, that the de-
tenders of the country and the Republic
will not be forgotten in the days of peace.
In the main hall, since 1880, every In
augural Ball has been held.
Nothing in that line could be more fas-
cinatingly beautiful than this when the
ball decorations are completed.
Probably no spot Of ground in Wash.
ingtOn gives such a panoramic picture OF
the ups and downs of human life as this
same Judiciary Square, beginning with
the Jail for the criminal and the law
breaker, with the whipping-pOst and scat
fold accompaniments. The lntirmary,
with its sorrowful and suffering, is the
dark shadow in the picture.
The lighter shades are thrown in when
Justice sits enthroned and the City Hall
rises in regal dignity in its midst. But
the highlights which perfect the picture
are seen here and there when Justice
takes a rest, when the wicked are for
gotten, when the cries from the whipping
post are no longer heard, and the con-
demned are silent; when music and dane
ing, gladness and rejoicing, hilarity and
good fellowship make the world forget for
a time that such things are part of life.

The National tribune., 1900-08-02

Among the many buildings surrounded
by an atmosphere of legend and story Is
the Old City Hall. In 1903, when
Thomas Jefferson was President and
Aaron Burr was Vice President an old
resident says there was "a gala time in
Washington" The gala day was upon
the erection of a jail, in Judiciary Square.
Whether the hilarities were akin to the
old-fashioned ''raisings," when men from
miles around were invited to give a lift
whenever the framework of building was
'mortised" and spiked ready to be
raised into position, we cannot say.
At such times the pals of soft C0
drinks-ginger- root-beer and black
Strap''-were always in evidence, but we
are told by this same old citizen that the
jollifcation over Jail erection ended in
a barbecue.
Why this particular form of celebra-
ton should be resorted to on such an Oc-
casion is left for conjecture. Could the
wicked and the lawbreakers of city of
5000 inhabitants have made life so intol-
cradle that the prospect of n place of con-
finement for them put the whole commu-
nifty into a state of ecstacy. or were op-
portunities so infrequent in those days for
the grilled OK and roasted ShOat that
jail raising was the enc opportunity?
We must not forget that in those days
the Marshars duties were various. He
not only had to keep and hold United
States prisoners. but he had the corpora
tion prisoners to board, debtors, like the
Hon. Robert Morris. who saved the con-
try by his generosity and timely help to
Washington, but languished in a debtors
prison. And then there was always the
runaway slave to be cared for
This building was situated in the mid
die of the square. The main entrance
was midway on the south front.
The building was surrounded by a high

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

Commissioner of Patents Charles II
Duell cOntemplateS reSigning at an early
date, to devote his entire time to his pat
ent business. The salary of the Commits
sioner of patents is $1,000 year, bu.
Mr.. DuelPs patent practice, when he is
able to give it his entire attention, is much
above that figure.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster G. GeneraI
Bristow's report on the Cuban frauds is
as was generally expected it would be by
those who know Mr.. BriStOw. a remorse
lesSly searching document. 1t goes into
every detail of the Cuban postal system
and the frauds practiced upon it by the
Neely gang, which he says promptly or
ganiZed a gigantic steal.
The peculations of Neely, the Financial
Agent of the Island; Thompson, the Post
master, and Reeves, the Auditor, aggre
gate $130,000. This is considerably less
than was at first supposed, for it was be.
lieved that the peculations would come UP
to nearly half million dollars.
The report specifically states that Maj
RathbOne, as Director General of Posts
of Cuba, drew two warrants in the Spring
of 1899 for $500 each and never made any
accounting for the same. 1t is also rep
resented that, Notwithstanding that this
matter was brought to the attention of
Maj. Rathbone, he made no explanation
of the charge, and the report suggests that
proceedings be at once instituted against
him, charging him with the peculation OF
$1,000
The report goes fully into many extrav-
agances and excessive personal accounts
of Maj. RathbOne in connection with the
Office of Director of Posts, and it is con
cluded beyond the shadow of a doubt that
he had absolutely no regard for money in
the carrying on of his establishment in
Havana.
July % Maj. Estes G. Rathbone was
arrested at Havana on four charges.
These allege the unlawful drawing of two
orders for $500 each, paying his private
coachman and gardener from the postal
funds, and drawing per diem allowance
when not entitled to do so. Rathbone
was held in bonds of $4,000. A bond
was offered to that amount, but the Judge
decided against its sufficiency, and Rath-
bone was sent to the guard house.
Brigham Roberts? Brigham Roberts ?
1t takes an effort of the mind to recall n
man who two years ago was filling as
many columns of newspaper space as
China is today. He was brought to mind
last week when the Treasury Department
drew warrant for $1,000 in favor of
brigham II. Roberts, the amount allowed
him in the deficiency act of June 6, 1900
as full satisfaction of salary, mileage and
expenses incurred by him by virtue of his
certificate Of election as q Representative
from the State of Utah.
