ASSISTANT CHIEF NAMED
PROMOTION OF FOREMAN WAGNER
OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Fills Position Created by District
Appropriation Bill-His Record
in the Service.

The District appropriation act providing
for the expenses of the municipality during
the fiscal year ending June 30. 1902, adds to
the strength of the fire department a third
assistant chief engineer, whose compensa-
ton like that of the first and second assist
ant chiefs is fixed at 81 200 per annum. The
increase of the department during the past
several years has made such an additional
officer absolutely necessary for its proper
conduct and the Commissioners are much
gratified that Congress has provided this
position. The appointment to the office can
not take effect until July 1, but such an Of
ticer is so badly needed that 1t is The inten-
ton of Commissioner mcfarland. who has
immediate charge of the fire department, to
recommend that the appointment be made
now and that the man selected for the posi-
ton be made an acting assistant chief until
the LIST of July, when his appointment takes
effect.
The man selected by Mr.. Macfarland for
the position of third assistant chief engineer
is Frank j. Wagner, foreman of No. I Engine
Company, than whom, his friends claim
there is no more competent man in the de-
partment for the place. The selection of
Foreman Wagner is understood to be in the
nature of personal appointment of Com
missioner Mcfarland, and was made after

Rare Oriental Fabrics.

BY far the most striking and interesting
display of oriental carpets and rugs ever
shown in Washington is the collection Of
Mr.. H. H. Topakyan, now on sale at 1417
street, and this, whether the extent or
quality of the goods comprising 1t be con-
sidered. 1t is indeed we'll worth a visit
whether merely as a matter Of study or
with view to purchasing. This will be
understood when it is stated that there are
pieces in the collection ranging from $4,000
each down to a price within reach of the
most moderate purse. The goods are them
selves sufficient evidence of their beauty
and value, but in addition to this, pur-
chasers have the guarantee of the assur-
ances of Mr.. Topakyan, whose character
is Vouched for by testimonials showing the
esteem In which he is held by the Shah of
Persia, and by the further fact that he was
the commissioner of that country at the
late Columbian exposition in Chicago For
his efforts in furthering the success of that
international affair he received the compli-
mentary acknowledgment Of President
Cleveland.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
From the statements III the letter headed
Pupils. Janitors and Teachers" that ap-
peared in The Evening Star of yesterday
l. is to be assumed that "E. A. G." is
teacher. In speaking OF "inaccura cies' she
makes it apparent that she is not alto
gether infallible. In the first place. those
living near any of our school buildings are
witness to the fact that all the classes, in
no matter what school, do not as an en-
tirety dismiss promptly at 3 o'clock Then
as to the flag. There is a jantor of a
school not far from my house whose daily
duty is that of raising and lowering old
glory. In the same letter the writer scores
Jus ice'' for not suggesting a remedy rel
alive to the children playing il the street
AS one has yet been able to solve that
troublesome question, no blame is attached
to Justice for not doing so. We all agree
that children should be protected while at
school and also admit that "passersby"
while within these precincts, should be to
a certain extent immune from the childish
FRANKS played by the ubiquitous small boy
But Will "E. A. G. please forward the
needed remedy? Now for the final cues
ton in her letter: Whose business is it to
exercise this protection and restraint? Well
if any one would place themselves in any
janitors shoes just for one short day there
would be great shrinking in the number
Of those now trying to overload that Of
fetal Speaking for. myself I will admit
that L am not a teacher, and If ! was 1 would
instead OF running, as soon as the class
room is emptied, Immediately go to the
teachers room, in which all the teachers
are to be found, so as to enjoy "confab."
l would think 1t my duty to follow out the
plan as mentioned in my letter. with the
purpose of aiding the ia nitor instead of
ilf1icting upon him such a palpable and I'M
just imposition as is now suggested.
