was this so in the case of the chief wit
ness, Mr.. Garland. I would dwell on this
fact with emphasis and ask the gentlemen
of the committee to regard it a very
important point. For Mr. Garland seemed
astonished when il was explained to him
that the pending bill did not permit an
extension beyond eight hours of the work
of particular gangs OF men. and he ad-
mitted frankly that mechanical emergen-
cies did arise where work over eight
hours was mandatory, and such condi-

A meeting of the finance committee will
take place tonight at o'clock in the red
parlor of the Ebbitt House. with Chair
man Frank X. Raymond presiding. On
this occasion a complete report of all sub
scriptions received will be laid before the
committee. 1t is expected that the re-
port will show that the $4,000 mark has
been passed. Mr.. Raymond has requested
that every member OF the committee be
present. but, Should it be impossible for
any OF the members to comply with this
request, he desires that they find some
means Of sending in their individual re-
ports at all events.
The acceptance of a position on the
women's executive committee by Mrs. U.

the ladies of the committee. Mrs. Grant
has ben made chairman of the reception
committee. Her health will not permit
her to engage in any of the activities OF
the campaign. but the veterans are an
ticipating great pleasure in once more
clasping the hand of the wife of their old
commander.

Two Cases of Shoplifters.

There are generally two classes Of
shoplifters, the regular criminal profess
sional and the kleptomanac The very
poor classes seldom take hand in it.
THE shoplifter is usually a person Of
fair apparel, of good appearance, and she
generally has comfortable home. If she
be a professional her home is shared by
Others who are leading evil lives such as
pickpOckets and confidence women. If. on
the other hand. she be kleptomaniac-
and in shoplfting the word has peculiar
signifcance-she is woman whose life
in other respects is exemplary.
1T does seem strange that a woman who
is a mother and living in an honest home
with her family. attending religious SER
vices every Sunday and teaching her
children how to do right. should be so
carried away with small piece of jew
elry or a trinket of some description that
she would stoop so low as to steal and
conceal il, and. in fact do almost any
thing to secure possession of 1t.

to citizens of our insular posses
Sims, will be passed and will
be probably be followed by the
Naval appropriation bill which
will doubtless occupy some time.
There is a provision in the bill,
as reported from the Committee
on Naval Affairs, whereby the
Secretary of the Navy is authoriz-
ed at his discretion to build one
or more of the new battleships in
government navy yards. This
provision is approved by the labor
organizations but is opposed by
the Republican machine in the
House, and in the Senate by Sena-
tors Hanna and Mcmillan who
are stock, holders of the Trust
which now constructs the naval
vessels sof the United States.
There has been prevalent in
Congress grave suspicion that
the affairs of the War Departi-
ment in the Philippines have been
administered with a lavish hand.
The figures disclosed by the volu-
minous documents forwarded to
the House in regard to the Pa.
cific transport service, and which
were elected from the Secretary
of War only by the most peremp-
tory resolution, Immediately led
to the belief that similar methods
had been pursued in the Philip
pines and resolution was passed
by the Senate calling for informa-
tion. To this resolution Mr.. Root
has replied that he cannot furnish
figures during this session of Con-
gress because they are almost in
extricably involved with other
statistics of the department.. If
such is the case, it is argued, the
accounting methods of the War
Department must be sadly lack
ing in system, but the more plausi
BILE explanation and the one gen.
orally accepted. is that the Secre-
tary realizes that the figures will
cast serious reflection on his party
and that he has, in view of the ap-
preaching elections, concluded to
suppress them for the present.
His course is literally condemned
even by the leaders of his own
party who argue that the public
soon forgets but will not forgive
being kept ia the dark.

CAMP VS.. SENATE RESTAUR-
ANT.

Two Senators played a fine trick on a
soldier witness who had given some
damaging testimony before the Com
mittee on the Philippines. He had
statedthat the food served on the island
to soldiers was II most cases terrible
and was shown samples of canned
goods which he denounced in strong
terms. The Senators, Messrs. Bever-
edge and Dietrich, sent the canned
food to the Senate restaurant and had
1t served, one can being soup and the
other salmon. The witness was in
vited to lunch. OF course he enjoyed
the set out, who would not when
cooked aud served by the fine chefs in
the Senate restaurant. They could
almost make an old shoe taste like can
vass back duck. We fail to see where
the witness was taken in much by such
proceedings. There is big difference
between the taste of things in camp
and roughing it and in fine hotel or
cafe. We have already had one expe-
rience with ''embalmedu meats in
Cuba, the revelations concerning which
startled the country. 1t would be well
to look into the tales about the treat
ment of the soldiers in the Philippines
and probe them to the bottom. Our
boys in blue deserve the best in the
land.

NO PLUMs FOR sgd.

sgd. Mudd must bear a most kindly
feeling towards McComas and his
friends who carried off the plums in the
Federal patronage distribution. The
political manager from Southern Mary
land who has given his time and un-
.ceasing labors for the success of the Re-
publican party and who keeps the
"black belt'' in line for the party's cam
didate whenever called upon, should
certainly have received better treat
ment. At least he should have had a
better part of the spoils. All work and
no "pay" makes Jack a dull boy. 1t
would not be surprising to find the
Hon. Sydney not so gay after this in
the contest in Maryland, and the other
leaders will no doubt wonder at the
change in his meek O. the woods. "
The breech is wide one now and I'M
less some healing balm is put on the
sore places, the result may be costly
one to some ambitions later on.

ALL eyes in pity turn towards
stricken st. Pierre, Island of Martin
ique, where nearly forty thousand souls
were launched into eternity in few
moments without warning. This gov
eminent is sending supplies on fast
vessels to the island in the hope of saw
ing the lives of those who escaped the
terrible volcanic discharge last week
Other nations join in sympathy and
send money, food and supplies. 1t is
the most appalling disaster of modern
times and makes the heart sick in con-
temptation.
