CITY AND DISTRICT.
AlIere. instrumentation.

Mr.. Wilbur F. Nash of 122 NJ street has
written the District Commissioners relative
to the occupation of what is known as the
show lot, at North Capitol and L streets
northeast. He complains that misleading
and false statements have been made to
the Commissioners by parties opposing the
use of the lot for show purposes, claiming
that they are endeavoring to prevent four
days use Of it. These four days, he states,
bring a revenue of from $1,000 to 81, 400,
while the taxes amount to $1,000 a year.
He has contracted with Forepaugh and
Sells Bros circus for the use of the lot
next month, and asks the Commissioners to
use fairness in protecting his property from
those who misrepresenr matters.
He submits that the lot was used for
show purposes before most Of the COM
p!8inants located in the neighbOrhood. con-
tending that it would be manifestly unjust
to pace in the hands of tenant OF prop
erty owner or a majority of them the power
10 say how the lot shall or shall not be
used.

which office he held continuously for thirty
four years, when he voluntarily relinquished

IN which Mr. Began was held, the city
council of Mt. Vernon convened in special
session and passed resolutions of regret
and also attended the funeral in a body, as
did Marion Lodge, 1. o. o. F., of which the
on the day Of the funeral nearly all the
places of business were closed and the en-
tire community attended the services. Mr..
Began would have been eighty years of
age had he lived until the 9th of this

That we, the members of the board of
directors of the Business Mems Association
voicing, as We know full well, the enthIs-
iasuc sentiment of our entire membership
do most heartily commend and warmly
concur in this action of the Bar Associa-

and proper recognition of the undeniab bic
worth of one who has ever been devoted TO
and who has always been foremost in ad-
vancing the interests of our community
along broad and liberal lines. That while
We tender to Mr.. Chaplin Brown the con-
graduation of our association, We would
also felicitate the bar of the District of
Columbia upon its thoroughly meritorious
and praiseworthy selection

DEATH OF A DOG.
Animal Purchased at the Pound Sue
cumbs to Disease.

Mr.. ]. Henry Corrigan Of 525 Fulton
street. Baltimore, Nd, recently invested 81
in dog. He purchased the animal from
the District poundmaster, 1t having been
captured in one of the raids conducted by
that official upon untagged and unmuzzled
dogs. few days thereafter, much to the
disappointment of Mr.. Corrigan, the animal
died. Thereupon he wrote the District
Commissioners, informing them of his loss
and requesting that the poundmaster be Gi-
rected by them to provide him with another
dog, to take the place of the departed one,
and without the payment by him of an
other fee of 81.
The poundmaster, however, has reported
to the Commissioners that when the animal
left the pound 1t was apparently in good
health. The Commissioners will, 1t is there
fore believed, inform Mr.. Corrigan that I'M
der the circumstances it will be impracti-
cable for them to grant his request, it being
understood that they decline to approve the
making of any promises by the poundmas-
ter as to the health, pedigree or good quail
tiles Of impounded animals disposed OF by
him.

A "Rum mage" Sale.

How many readers of The Star know
what a "Rummage" sale is? Very few,
probably; for, though such are not UNI
known in some places, there has never
been one held here, SO far as we know.
One is contemplated. however, under the
auspices of Messrs. c. G. Sloan & Co, the
auctioneers on G street. Briefly. 1t Is a
sort of hodge podge, half social, half COM
merciaI, entertainment, for the purpose Of
raising funds for charitable purposes-o1
which there is great need in Washington
this season. The method is for charitably
disposed people to go on a rummaSing ex-
petition into their closets, attics, out-build-
ings, etc, and bring out all sorts of things
stored there for which they are likely to
have little or no use, such as half-worn
clothes of all kinds, boots and shoes, bed
household articles, and odds and ends of
every description that are hardly good
enough TO use, but too good to throw away,
such as accumulate in every household.
These are to be sent for by the auction
GERS, arranged in proper order for eXami-
nation by those interested, and sold later
on at auction to the highest bidder. The
scheme, if properly carried out, will serve
a triple purpose: 1t will enable people to
turn to good account a lot of things they
hardly know what to do with. The sale
will, or ought to, produce quite snug little
sum of money, which is to be divided be-
tween the two principal general charitable
organizations in the city; and, finally, it
will afford people of small means an OPP
portunity to obtain at a trifiing cost many
useful and much-needed articles, which
they would scarcely be able to procure
otherwise.
1t is understood that the project has the
Endorsement Of a number of charitable and
philosophical ladies and gentlemen, and
that it will soon be laid before the public
in the form of a circular or postal card, 10
be issued by Messrs. Sloan & Co., who
announce that they will make no charge
for collecting the results of the rummages
nor for their services as auctioneers.

was given medical attendance for about three
weeks. when the Doctor said it was scrofula,
and ordered a sslye He wanted to lance the
sore, but 1 would not let him, and continued
giving him medicine for about four months,

was serofula, and each ordered blood med
