Increase Of Salaries.
ID the EDITOR OF The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF Inc Evening otar.
In glancing over the Commissioners esti-
mates as published IN The Star, / was
struck by the numerous increases in sala-
ries, which appear in every department or
branch of the District government, to say
nothing of the increase in number.
without stopping to add up the total
amount, even IL it could be definitely as
certained from the data as published, 1t Is
obvious that it amounts to many thousands
of dollars.
can see no reason for this increase of
salaries, when as we all know, there are
hundreds of just as competent citizens who
would gladly fill these places with the sala-
ries as they are.
There may be a few instances in which
the salary is not what it ought to be in
view of the peculiar character of the duty
to be performed. but IL such there are they
are few and far between.
The act of 1874 providing for the detail OF
an army engineer in place of the chifs en-
gineer of the board of public works ex-
pressly provided that he shall receive no
additional compensation for such services;
and again the act of 1878 says nor shall
he receive any other compensation than his
regular pay and allowances as an officer
of the army" In the District bill of 1882,
on the recommendation of the Commission
ers, his salary was increased to 5000 per
annum, the argument being that it was

IF LOCAL APPLICATIONS ALONE EVER CURED

Most remedies for the treatment of catarrh

cannot be cured simply by treating the local
symptoms.
Moreover the more serious forms of catarrh, like
catarrh of the stomach and catarrh of the bron-
chial tubes. cannot be reached at ali by local ap
rlications and the fact that neglected catarrh Of

To really cure catarrh the system must be

Under that provision they have been paid
since 1881 the sum of SGT 1892 over and

ers recommend that the salary of the two
assistant army engineers detailed to aid

Why is not clear to the ordinary citizen, as
the duties they are to perform are the same
as formerly.
1t strikes me very foreibly that under
present circumstances, when our taxes are
being enormously increased that proper

per cent on its assessed value. and the citi-

is very easy for the gentlemen who draw
their 5000 year from the District reve-

not so easy for the taxpayers whose prop

arbitrary increase in the assessments.

An Importer Gives Reasons for This

The Persian government is soon to pass
law imposing heavy duty on all rugs
exported from Persia which are colored

has seriously injured the rug trade in
Persia. and as this is the chief industry OF

awakened to the fact that 1t must be pro-

There is soon to be considerable ad-
vance In the price of nearly all varieties of
Persian and Turkish rugs to last for a
year or two at least. For this there are
several reasons. The output of the Persian
looms has been very small the last year
and in some cases the entire supply has
been exhausted without in the least salts.

many retail buyers for department stores

GRAND JUBILEE
CELEBRATION
Immense Crowds Were In
able to Get Into the
Hall.

The celebration of the victory
for public improvements in our
city took place Saturday. There
we're fully fifteen hundred people
on Main street during the pro
gress of the event, but many
hundreds were obliged to turn
away from the hall on account of
lack Of room. The hall was well
seated, and every seat was oc-
cupied, and standing room was
at a premium.
1t is estimated that six hun
dred people attended the meet
ing in Scott Brothers building,
which was used as hail. The
celebration opened at $50 in the
evening by the firing Of canon.
This was kept up and there was
nice display Of fireworks for
about thirty minutes. The band
played at intervals and every body
Was jubilant.
At eight o'clock the crowd, or
as much Of ii as could squeeze in,
entered the Scott building and
listened to some good speaking.
The meeting was presided over
by G. II. Morse who made few
introductory remarks, then in,
troduced G. E. Wooten as the
first speaker.
Mr. Wooten held the crowd
with a very entertaining speech
lasting about thirty minutes.
His remarks were appropriate
and several points were received
with applause by the audience.
S. L. Cary was the second
speaker. Mr. Cary never loses
an opportunity 10 say good word
for Southwest Louisiana, and
Jennings in particular, and must
say that he did his full duty i'll

Alba Haywood was called to
the rostrum and made aNfew en-
tertaining remarks, as Is always
the case when Mr.. Haywood

Take it all IN all, the jubilee
was a grand success, and the re-
suit was that everybody went
home feeling good. Even those
who opposed the issue of bonds
are now heartily supporting the
measure and all things appear to
be moving harmonlously for the
upbuilding of our city.

MAY HAYESHAMBATTLE
COLONEL BRANDON TALKS OF PROPOSED ENTERTAINMENT.
Says If State Fair Will Provide Sub
 sistence Companies of Second and Third Infantry May 4 Go to Birmingham.

Colonel W. w. Brandon, Adjutant Gen. eral of the Alabama National Guard, who reached Montgomery last night from his home in Tuscaloosa, said the manage ment of the State Fair at Birmingham had under consideration the matter of asking certain companies of the citizen soldiery to participate in a sham battle during the Fair.
 Colonel Brandon said such an entertasn- ment had been proposed by the State Fair management and if the Fair man. agement would furnish subsistence for the men of the National Guard whe would go tp Birmingham to take part in the sham battie. that large attendance of companies could no doubt be secured. While the larger number of the compa- nies would go from the End and 3rd Reg iments. the attendance will not be con- fined to those organizations.
 If the management decides to make the sham battle feature of the Fair Colonel Brandon said companies from the 1st and 2nd Infantry and perhaps some of the cavalry and artillery organizations would go.
 The nucleus of the two organizations which may face each other on the sham field of battle, should the Fair manage ment approve, would be companies from 
 stations of companies forming the End Infantry are towns in Middle Alabama while the companies of the Srd are sta- toned In North Alabama towns.
 The proposed contest would hold an element of uncertainty which would heighten the interest. It would afford an opportunity of leadership and strategy. helped by the promptness and rapidity of the troops which would make the spec tacle well worth seeing.
 It is said that the suggestion was fa- vorably received by Colonel E.. H. Graves, commanding the 2nd Infantry, and Lieutenant Colonel F. P. Mcconnell. commanding the 3rd Infantry. The off, cers and men of the two regiments to whom the suggestion has been preached. have also received it with general favor.
 The entire matter. however, depends upon the attitude of the State Fair man. agement.
