arraigned before Judge Ball in City

lating a city ordinance by failing to

tor regarding a condemned building.

that some time ago George w. Phillips.
the contractor. applied TO the building
inspector for a permit to add another
story to the building Nos. 6l4, 614is

tent as to make IL unsafe and condemn
ed It. The inspector notified Mr.. Rice.
who Is agent for Snelienburg, In the
form prescribed by law. giving him
thirty days IN which TO tear the wall
down This was ON March last, and
on April the time expired but the
work OF demolishing was not begun.
Mr. Cassidy then saw MIR. Rice and
inquired why his orders had not been
obeyed. and was Informed that he could
not get possession OF the building. some
OF the tenants refusing to move out.
A WARRANT ISSUED.
MIR. Cassidy had no other course TO
lpursue than to issue a warrant for Mr..
Rice's arrest on q charge of violating
a city ordinance.
When the case was called this morn
ling in City Court Mr.. Rice was repre-
leanted by George Brown. He made no
defense, other than to state that he
| simply wished to show that Mr. Smell
llenburg had no intention of disobeying
the law, and to bring out the facts of
i the case Herbert Collins, Cne OF the
tenants. who conducts a store at No.
GIG Market street. was called and stated
,lthat he refused 10 move from the build
ling because he had not been legally no
n tilted. He holds a lease for a year,
which has not expired.
In dlsposing of the ease Judge Ball
STATED that he supposed the case would
II 20 TO a higher court, which statement
i Mr.. Brown said was correct, and his
\ lonly object in coming before this court
was to take the proper steps TO lay a
foundation for further litigation.

A MEMORABLE SPEECH.

The graduating exercises Of Woods
Commercial College at the new National
Theater on the evening of May 81, 1900
were, in many respects, the most inter
esting of any ever held in the history of
the college. Mr., Terence V. Powderly,
Commissioner General of Immigration,
made the principal address, but short
address was made by DR.. II. NJ. Rowe,
Ph. d., author of treatise on Interna-
tional Business Practice, which was so
memorable that an extract is reproduced
for the benefit Of our readers:
Il am deeply interested in commercial
education. attend the commeneements
of commercial schools very frequently
sometimes two or three times--if they
will allow me to return after the first
time. This is because believe in the
value Of commercial education for the
young people Of our land. This class,
which is to be graduated tonight is diff
fcrent in one vital particular from any
other class that will be graduated from
any other school in the city Of Washing
ton this year. This difference arises
from the fact that while this class is sim.
liar to any other graduating class in that
it has completed prescribed course of
study, and its members have been ad.
Judged worthy Of the honors of gradua.
tiOn and have secured the advantages of
broadened minds and increased mtellec-
tual powers, it differs in that every mem
Der of it has received such training as
will enable him 10 earn his ona licia0.
These young people have not only teen
educated well, but they have / ~ edu-
Gated practically. While the course Of
study prescribed in commercial school
may not be considered as high scholastic.
ally as that Of a literary college, uni,er.

been pursued with o definite pose and
for the accomplishment Of deu.ite re-
suits, and has given a preparation which
has enabled every one Of these Young
people to do some enc thing ant d. % Ueli
end acceptaJtU.
"Much Of the education that is secured
in more advanced courses Of study Is of
such general character and Of spch an
Improbable nature that it is of little
use in the daily avocations Of lis pos
SCISSORS. The commercial schools os this
country are distinctly American institu-
tions, originated TO meet distinctly Amer
lean conditions and TO supplya want that
was not supplied by any other class of
schools. The fact that they have multi
piled and fourisbed is a standing protest

A BUSINESS POINT ER.

Several Washington merchants are
afraid to invite the trade of suburban
people for fear it might offend some
Il their city customers who don't con-
jider it ''the proper thing" TO be seen
b a store with country people. They
want the cash Of country people when
che same can be secured without any
outward sign Of desire TO reach out
for il. One OF the largest hardware
arms in the city recently refused to
advertise in the columns OF the CITI-
ZEN and gave the following reason;
"We're not out after suburban bust
less for the reason that we consider
the trade of the people of Virginia and
Maryland not particularly desirable. "
Gustave Hartig, the hardware man Of
500 aud Oil H Street, N. E., is Of a
different opinion. He ewants the trade
Of country people and he is getting it.

Few Americans who have not trav-

quantity of fruit is eaten in Great
Britain and on the continent, as COM
pared with the enormous supply con-
sumed in this country. 1t is an old
saying that an Englishman makes the
eating of peach almost a religious

prodigious the receipt of oranges

,ant as compared with the amount

A writer in the North American Re.

at their last annual sessions the leg.

acted more than fourteen thousand
laws-good, bad an indifferent. Such
industry might be said to speak vol.
umes for the public spirit of the Amer.

sight the facts that many Of the "acts'
spring from an unwholesome desire
to accomplish social reforms by short
processes, and that many more OF
them represent individual or corpor-

Etiquette Taught Automatically

A facetious correspondent of Lon

might be taught advantageously by
phonograph and the mutoscope. For
example, wax cylinders might be sold,
giving the true pronunciation OF Diff

dress for various dignitaries; while
mutoscope films might teach pictorially
the latest handshake, the management
of a refractory skirt on rainy day and
similar useful points OF etiquette.
