A Friend to she Race.

Mr.. Frank Hume, Washington's
most reliable wholesale grocer, deserves
much credit for his firm and friendly
tsnacity to the race. He Is the premi
or wholesale grocery dealer of Wash
ington, but is never too busy to speak
q kind word or do friendly act for the
race. But we do not expect anything
else from true F. F. ", for both Mr.,
and Mrs. Hume are from the sterling
stock Of Virginia and represent the best
brains and blood OF that State. MIR.
Hume was born in Culpepper county,
Va E, and came TO Washington about
forty years ago; his father being in the
government service at that time. He
launched out in the commercial world
about thirty years ago and by his busi-
ness tact and sagacIty, he has won a
high place IN the esteem Of the busi-
ness men OF Washington and Occu pies
the center OF the stage, so to speak. in
the business world.
Mrs. Hume was born in Martins
burg, w. Va, and is lady OF rare cul-
ture and admirable parts. Their union
has been blessed with twelve children,
nine OF whom are still living. But
for lack of time and space, we could
talk at length about this most interest :
ing couple and can only say that In our
special edition we will speak at length
OF the good work they have done and
of the magnanimiby that Mr.. Hume has
always extended to the race.

The reason SO many people get chron-

fool themselves by calling it some ether

When people get acute cstarrh they
call it cold. If they have acute nasal
catarrh 1t is called coryza. Endemic
catarrh they call influenza, and cpl
d@anic catarrh they name Ia grippe.
When the catarTh reaches the throat
it is called tonsilitis, or l&ryngitis.
Catarrh of the bronchial tubes is called

sire for fair play that induces me to crave
your indulgence in like manner
Heretofore the street car companies have
been upbraided without stint because at
busy times in the day some Of their pa
irons have been compelled to stand in the
cars owing to the seats therein being oc-
cupied by Others and the no-seat-no-pay
proposition has been mooted more than
once. Now comes correspondent with
wall because of the annoyance caused HIM
self and others by being occasionally left
on the street corners whilst already crowded
cars pass by without stopping long enough
to give them a chance to climb onto the
drawhead, fender or any other projection
or part of the car which may offer foot
hold. And by way of emphasizing the nui-
sance he cites the instance Of one indiScreet
Would-be passenger who, contrary to law,
ATTEMPTED to board the swiftly moving
car in an endeavor to circumvent the in
tent1on of the car men to permit him to
ride more comfortably on a following car,
and incidentally charges the conductor with
responsibility for the accident which fol-
lowed; but in this instance, most fortu-
nately, the most prominent feature of the
disaster appears to have been wrecked

If your correspondent has lived in any
other large city he will know that Wash
ingtOn is no exception in such cases, and
unnecessary or unfair criticism is hardly
calculated to secure redress in such mat
ters. That the Metropolitan Car Company
has obliging and efficient employees In its
service, with possibly a few exceptions,
goes without saying. and that the company
itself is desirous of serving the travelling
public in the best possible way is evidenced
in marked degree by the improvement ef-
fected during the last year or two in its
rolling stock and train service. 1t is fair
to presume that the company Is not in
business for healthful reasons alone and
from a business standpoint it would ap-
pear to be but reasonable to believe that
its patrons are not at any time left wait
Ing when cars are available to carry them
to their destination. And in this connection
I venture the assertion that the schedule
upon which the trains are run upon the
line referred to Is as good or better than
that OF any city OF Its size In the country:

Cheers and Kisses were both frequently

Birmingham, winner of the Whitney cup,
was well received by the members of the

er, and all admitted that the hackney stall
lion Langton II, owned by Mr.. Frederick
c. Stevens Of Washington, would have won
as easily here as he had in similar classes
twice before, had hackneys not been
barred.
Great Improvement was noticed in all
classes. Mr.. f. l.. Bourne's hackney geld

Conaway was a little restless, cleared ALL

the lash was caught in the wheel and was

others did good work. but Carmen was
away in the lead. and Hewlett showed him
a few French tricks. Hewlett drove at a
ing at all. The contest was very close-so
close that fairer test would have been to
have given them a fresh four to drive
Hewlett. being last in the contest, had a
decided advantage. Hewlett was awarded
the cup. Trotters were in for their share,
and the Hamlins made their usual fine
showing. Col Kipp's horses were greatly
missed.
The largest winner of this season is Mr..

of twenty-five hackneys, which received
twenty-seven premiums amounting to over

at $500 His grand stallion, Fandango won
in his class as the best stallion over Is 2;
