There Is a movement In progress among
citizens to have Washington Park, which
was laid out several years ago in the CEN

CALLED ON THE PRESIDENT.
Visitors to the Mckinley Home In
Canton Yesterday.

A dispatch from Canton, Ohio, last night
says: Representative Irwin of the Louis
vile (Ky.) district and Charles E. Sapp,
collector of internal revenue for the north
ern district Of Kentucky, were among Pres
ident McKinley's callers today. The visit
was in connection with the reappointment
of Mr. Sapp to his present position, against
which there is some opposition. They had
been in Cleveland to see Senator Hanna.
and arranged their return trip so as to
allow stopover in Canton. Both said
they felt encouraged to believe that all
troubles in Kentucky could be amicably
settled and that there would be no change
in the collectorship. Both said. however,
that they did not mean to be understood
that the President had promised the place.
There were a number of other callers at
their respects and others on personal mis-
sions. Among them was Mr. Walcott Of
New Orleans, president of the cotton ex-
change. Gen. G. A. GarretsOn, Mr. Rich
ardson, Mr.. Mather and E. w. Doty Of
Cleveland were here to invite the Presi-
dent to attend the Grand Army of the Re-
public encampment in this city In Septem-
ber. They were told that the President
hopes to attend the encampment. He
may arrange to go to Buffalo for ''Presi-
dents day" on the same trip.
Capt. E.~S. Wilson, United States mar
shall for the district Of Porto Rico. and
Col. John Lincoln Glen. quartermaster
general for the department of Porto Rico,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 the E1lt6r OF Ihe Evening Star:
Being one Of the victims iof the law who
failed to sell milk up to the standard, I
beg leave to say that great injustice is
being done to the retail dealers. 1 believe
in pure food law, also seeing 1t rigorous
ly enforced, but trust thatsthe time Is not
furnish the small ones will be held respon-
sible. The identical milk sold to me by the
jobbers is the milk / sold to others. I'm
less the authorities inspect each and every
can and jar that contains milk in their
place Of business and their wagons they
will! at all times claim that pure milk was
left at the stores. Y. d. PETERS.
