responsible for his men. For instance
1 visited an old friend who is a boiler
maker He was working with a few
boys as helpers. / asked him why he
did not have some men in the shop and
he said that he could not afford it. as
II one of his men should meet with an
accident and should be disabled for the
slightest cause, he would have to keen
/ on paying him his wages, and in case
ne should be killed in the performance
or any duty In the shop or on outside
work, he would have to pay to the
heirs the sum of 9400, which was too
great risk. He even could not have
tree cut down, which is in his yard.
/, for the reason that if the man who was
doing the work met with any injury the
same payments must be made. There
is an effort being made to have this
done away with. but 1t stands now.
The most peculiar law which was
brought forward was one which pro-
posed to settle the matter of the wages
OF the farm laborers. But that time
they seemed to see the inconsistency of
the whole thing, when the men have to
do different kinds of work and to be

which would be impossible for an
American to stand. In fact the more

in this country for the rest of my life.
THE same paternalism prevails in
the relation of the colony to the farmer.
There is a system of land rental, which
is almost the same as a homestead

family for Its use in perpetuity but the
fee simple title remains in the State
The man who takes the farm. If he is
without means, Is furnished with a
team of horses, machinery, cows, sheep,
hegs, chickens and some money to start
with. In addition the government
agrees to give him work upon the pub
lie improvements, such as the docks or
the roads for three days Of each week.
and he in turn agrees to work on the
place for the other three days. The
result is that the family has good
thing and soon earns out its own home
and the improvements. These latter he
may sell If he wants to give up the
farm, but the land is the property Of
the government. II the settler wishes
to stay he may do SO and all his family,

Price.
The regular semi-monthly meeting Of the
District Anti-Saloon League was held last
evening, President ]. L. Ewin occupying
the chair. After the selection of tempo
rary secretary and doorkeeper Mr.. Can
field, chairman of the committee on CO.
operation, reported the names Of Miss
Belle Pettigrew and Mr.. c. R. Tucker as
new delegates, representing the Calvary
Baptist and Nineteenth Street Baptist
Churches. respectively. Miss Pettigrew and
Mr.. Tucker were then presented to the
league.
The report of the executive committee
was presented by President Ewin. 1t dealt
with the question Of excursion resorts In
and about Washington, and stated that
circular letter had been sent out quite ex-
tensively, giving the leagues Endorsement
to two places. The executive committee
also submitted through Mr.. Ewn a minute
in relation to the late Hiram Price of the
American Anti-Saloon League, who died at
his home in this city May 80, 1901, and
who had been president of the national
body since its organization, December 10,
1880 On motion the league resolved to
fittingly celebrate President Prices next
birthday anniversary, January 10, 1902.
A communication was read from Secre-
tary Baker of the Ohio AntiSaloon League
concerning .the successful fight in that
wells denomination on account Of his
known friendiness to the saloon interests"
1t was voted to change the date of Anti
Saloon day at ChautauQua Beach from
July % to August 49, and arrangements for
the celebration were ordered to be made.
In regard to the effect of the operation
of the anti-canteen law Mr.. Garfield re-
ported that the law has been enforced at
Fort Washington and Fort Myer, the ar
tiilery barracks and other points and the
results have proved to be beneficial No
places and drunkenness, 1t was declared, Is
at any rate not on the increase-rather the
contrary. Reports from Chicago, he said,
indicate a similar satisfactory condition of
affairs at Fort Sheridan and elsewhere,
and letters from the Philippines are also
of an encouraging nature with reference
to the operation of this new law.
After the report of the financial secretary
the league adjourned. The following afii-

ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
Political and Personal Items From
Montgomery COunty's Capital.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. July 10, 1901.
Although the date for holding the repub
lican primary election in this county is less
than three weeks of, 1t is only within the
past few days that special interest has be-
gun to develop among the rank and file of
the party. II was thought for awhile that
there would be few. If any, contests in the
various election districts, but later reports
are to the effect that there will be more or
less factional contention in several sections
OF the county.
1t Is said the minority faction headed by
Capt. John Mcdonald of Potomac Is anx
ious to gain control of the approaching
county convention and the new county
committee which is soon to be elected. 1t
has been given out by some Of his political
friends that he aspires to the nomination
Tor state senator, and this ambition is put
forth as the ostensible reason for his pres
ent activity, but IT Is generally believed
among party men that his real object is to
secure control of the party machinery as
step toward the qualification of his higher
ambitions in the future. 1t is claimed by
Capt. Mcdonald that, contrary to prece-
dent, he was unjustly refused a second
nomination for Congress, and such was his
disappointment on this account that he Is
said to be determined to seek vindication
until his efforts are successful.
In the primary contest Of 1898 in this, his

The amount Of water contained in these
two vegetables makes them most valuable
as summer additions to the bill Of fare.
The radish should not be eaten unless 1t Ia
very tender and crisp. and in preparing it
for the table do not cut OF the tiny heart
leaves, as these are said to aid digestion,
and they at least add greatly to their at
tractive1ess. The skin of the radish is the
most indigestible part, and many remove
all but a narrow band Of the bright red
around the center of the radish, although
they are prettier If left unpeeled. If enc Is

as an 'inducer" to the critical appetite on

One reason why cucumbers SO often cause
trouble is because they are not prepared in
proper manner. They should have at least
an inch cut from each end and carefully
pared to remove all the green part, sliced
thin and soaked in cold water for at least
half an hour. and an hour Is better. II the

TALKED WILDLY OF RELIGION
A Man Suspected of Insanity Becaus
of His Strange Actions.

A colored man, who gave the name OF
James Williams, and his age as thirty
three years. was taken into custody short
ly after o'clock yesterday afternoon by
Patrolman Lord, near the corner of Ninth
and U Streets northwest, because of his
peculiar actions
Williams, who is a man of giant stature,
created no little excitement among citi-
zens in that vicinity by delivering an adj
dress of some length upon religion, ac-
companying his remarks with wild
dance Lords attention was called to the
man by citizens and he at once took Will
liams to the station.
Upon arrival there Lieutenant Jordan,
after conversing with the prisoner, saw
that his mind was affected and ordered
his removal to Freedman's Hospital for
an examination DR.. Warfeld, of that
institution, last night stated that in his
opinion the man was evidently insane.
The hospital authorities will notify SAM
tary Officer Frank this morning of the
matter and Williams will be examined
by the police surgeons.

ton. and

people generally in the District; therefore,
