910 Pennsylvania avenue northwest. About
$50 guests contested for numerous hand
some prizes, which had been donated bv

test refreshments were served and much
pleasure was added by Mr.. Richard Boyne
who operated a large graphophone while
the feast was in progress.
The success of the affair Is accredited to
the managing committee, consisting of
Mrs Allyn X Capron, Mrs Hodgson, Mrs.
Meyers, Miss Minnie Meyers, Mrs William
son and Mrs. Dyer. The officers of the

Beer and Ice.

Breweries and ice factories were one or
the earliest forms of American investment
large amount Of capital went into the
breweries, and the return Is said to be a
very good one. The ice factories have not
been quite so profitable because of compe-
tition, and they are complaining of one an
other for cutting prices. Naturally this
means that after time there will be an
agreement, and then the ice factories will
be looked upon as profitable investments.
The Havana public is like the public in
the United States, and refuses to believe
that they do not make two or three profits
out of every pound Of Ice that is sold.
Next year 1t Is promised that the cold stor-
age warehouse of which SO much has been
heard Will be built and be built on Ameri-
can capital. Perhaps that is So but every
body prefers to walt.
Sugar and Truck Growing.
difference of opinion exists among in
vestors regarding cane lands. Some OF
them believe that 1t Is cheaper to buy old
plantations. which were ruined in the In
surrection, than to go into the undeveloped
country. The relatively high prices at
which sugar estates In the central and west
ern parts Of the island are held, in spite OF
mortgages and lack of capital on the mart
of the owners to work them, deters many
investments In old plantations, and the ten
dency of the capitalists now is to 60 to the
eastern end of the island and buy virgin
lands, which have to be cleared and on
which new sugar mills will be built. The
cost of clearing these lands varies from sl5
to s24 an acre.
About the small capitalists II may be said
that the prospects for them In Cuba are
improving, and there even seems to be
chance coming for the young fellow who
has no capital except a stout pair of arms
and good head. Truck farmers from
Florida and other southern states are
spreading all over the island. Most of
them whom have met simply look upon
vegetable raising as a temporary occnpa-
ton until they can bring their orange

From the Baltimore Sun.
Inner club circles have been regaed with
story of a recent sitting at draw poker,
in which five well-knoWn clubmen took
part
1t was at the home of one Of the mem
bers. Two new packs of cards were brought
out, the seal Of one was cut and the cards
shufed From this pack cards were dealt
around to select the dealer for the opening
hand. This done the second pack of cards
was opened and shuffied by one of the
party, who handed it to the dealer, who
also shuff1ed. The pack was then rendered
for the usual cut, which was done A round
ot jackpotS had been agreed upon.
The player who had first say was an in
surance man. and he promptly opened
Next was grain merchant, who raised the
opener. A member of the stock exchange
came next and he saw the raise and went
the limit better. A merchant well known
for his aggressive spirit sat next in line and
he quietly met all that had been bet and
raised it the limit. 1t was now around 10
a railroad man, who was the dealer There
was pause, and each player inspected
his cards with self-satsfied air The rail
road man broke the silence by meeting all
bets and raising them the limit Every
body stayed IN the game. The dealer asked
how many cards were wanted and each
player in turn said none. The dealer took
none He made a nominal bet and the call
was passed all around.
AT the showdown the hand In each case
was full house, and, beginning with the
first to the left of the dealer, as follows:
Sevens and deuces, eights and treys, mines
and fours, tens and tives, aces and fiyes.
The railroad man was the winner He has
had the cards as held by eacfr player
framed and each player has a photograph
OF them as a souvenir Of phenomenal Sc
quenCe in a game of poker.

Hancock Command. No. 1, Union Vete-
rams Union, held an unusually interesting
meeting at its hall in Society Temple last
night, Col. Frank T. Howe presiding 1t
was decided as the next regular meeting
would occur on March to adjourn over
until March 1s, but in the meantime to at
tend the entertainment of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps Auxiliary to the command next
Monday night. Three recruits were mus
tered and after the transaction Of the
regular business eloquent speeches were
made by Messrs Brown, Post, Redfern,
Black, Curtain, Middleton, Bollinger, Tay-
lor. Beach and Classic. The growth of the
order both in this department and through
out the country was referred to and the
fact that the members were united in fur

rapid increase in membership. 1t Is ex-
pected that the order will make a good
showing in the parade on Inauguration day.

4 FRAUD ORDER.
Scheme for Curing Inebriety Debar-
red From the Mails,

red From the Mails.
The Post Office Department has issued a
fraud order against Mrs. May Hawkins,
box 81, Grand Rapids, Michigan, who has
been conducting scheme for the cure of
inebriety through philanthropic advertise
ments. This was the advertisement that
enticed the dollars from thousands and en-
riched the Golfers Of Mrs Hawkins:
Drink Habit Cured.-Mrs. May Hawkins
will help every woman save a drunkard.
A trial package of her marvellous home
treatment free for the asking.
ANY true woman might we'll be proud
to have saved one poor soul from the
shackles Of drink, but Mrs. Hawkins has
redeemed thousands by her noble work
among those who have been victims Of in
temperance. Mrs. Hawkins for years suf-
fered the grief and anguish shared by so
many true and faithful women of America
today, who have drink afflicted fathers
husbands, sons or brothers. She deter
mined to ovescome this fearful evil if pos
sible. Her search for a harmless perfect
secret home cure was at last rewarded
when an old friend came to her and gave
her remedy which has never been known
to fail. Mrs. Hawkins gave the remedy
secretly. and in a few weeks to her great
surprise her dearest relative was entirely
cured Of the appetite for drink and was
again restored TO health and manhood
After this wonderful result Mrs Haw-
kins decided TO devote her life to the work
of helping her sisters everywhere whom
she found suffering as she had suffered
from the effects of alcohol upon a hus-
band, father; son or brother. With the
assistance of others she perfected the
original treatment and now offers TO send
this treatment free to any disturbed wife
mother, sister or daughter, who will write
Tor II. Mrs. Hawkins great desire is that
every woman who needs this medicine will
write at once to her to get it."
After numerous complaints the postal
investigated Mrs. Hawkins and
found her representations false Then fol-
lowed the fraud order which denies Mrs.
Hawkins the use of the mails for the fur
thcrance of her scheme.

Unable to Recommend Compliance.

The attorney for the District, Mr. A. B.
Duvall, has advised the Commissioners tina t,
under all the circumstances of the case. he
Is unable to recommend their compliance
with the request OF Mrs. Anna Evans Won
Hemert that they procure an appropriation
of $5167.O5 to reimburse her for the pay
ment of certain assessments against her
land, assessed In the name of Walton e.
Evans, for improving Connecticut avenue
extended.
Mrs. Hemert, March IA, 19OO dedicated
certain land between the exterior lines of
Connecticut avenue extended. the deed re-
citing that by said dedication no expense
should be imposed on her. Nevertheless,
she was assessed, and the assessment, S.
167O5, was paid through inadvertence,
whereupon she asked that she be reim-
bursed. Unless the provision. says Mr.. Du-
vail, in the deed of dedication be construed
as a REIMBURSEMENT Of the right of taxa
ton, the request resolves itself into one for
the repayment of an assessment which has
been declared to have been Illegally levied,
and such applications, he states, have here
tofore uniformly been refused, and the
parties have been left to their legal rene
dies.

Modern Enterprises.

Outside of the real estate field a fair
amount Of capital from the United States
has gone into Havana enterprises. A Louis
which IS doing a good business. Another
company is building immense dry dock
and apparently does not fear competition
from private parties buying the floating
dock owned by the Spanish government,
which the United States Navy Department
declined TO purchase. Several electric light
enterprises and similar Improvements are
awaiting the determination by the Havana
municipality of the sewerage contract.
What local industries the city has do not
seem TO be affected by the political uncer-
tafnty. Recently ! took the time to visit
most of them and found them all running
except the cigar factories. Some Of these
are on short time. because of the condition
OF world trade, and that has nothing to do
with the relations with the United States.
Two years ago a large amount of money
from New York and elsewhere was put into
the cigar factories which were not con-
trolled by the English syndicate The
money is still there, and though reports oc-
casiOnally are heard of a combination be-
tween the two sEndicates and plan to buy
out the Englshmen, the latter seem con-
tent with their investment The English
men on their part bought out the Germans
who have been slowly retiring their capital
from Cuba. This was not because Of poitt-
cal fears, but because they got prices for
their property which were high enough to
tempt them. Independent of the factories
a good deal of American money is invested
in tobacco plantations, and | have not heard
of any American tobacco grower getting
ready to withdraw from the island. As
rule he prefers to hold on and wait the
time when tariff conce ssions may be had
from the United States.
