ASSISTANT TO COLLECTOR.
The ordinance from the Common Coun-
Gil creating an assistant to the Collector
OF Taxes was read. This ordinance
places in the hands of the FL
nance Committee the appointing power
of such an assistant, with a commission
oG 18th of one per cent of all taxes col
lected,y payable when the money is paid
into the city treasury. The creation Of
the position came as the result of Il
recommendation from the City Account
ant.
Mr. Turpin, Major Allen i'll the chair,
asked for an explanation as to the pIac-
ing of the appointment in the hands of T.: e
Finance Committee. Mr.. Gordon, from
the Finance Committee. explained that
the specific reason was that at frequent
intervals the City Accountant applied
to the clerks in the Collectors Office for
certain information, which he could not
=
Collector himself
Mr.. Seay asked if the ordinance did not
permit the City Accountant to examine
the books without obtaining permission
from the heads of the departments. The
reply was in the affirmative.
Mr.. Turpin did not think the assist
ants in any city department should De
appointed by any one else than the head
OF the department, who was responsible
for the acts OF his assistants, and against
whom the city was protected by sufti-
Gent bond. The bond of the City Col
lector was $4,000. BY electing an assist
ant, who would have to give d bond OF
S., 600, he would be responsible for as
much money as the Collector himself,
with q greater bond.
Mr.. King agreed with Mr.. Turpin, and
moved that the ordinance be referred
back 10 the FinaGe Committee. The
motion carried.
The sum Of 500 was appropriated to
the use of the Committee on james River
Improvement, for the purpose OF work
ing UP enthusiasm in the River and
Harbors Committee of Congress, so that
an appropriation of some magnitude may
be secured from. that committee for river
and har5or improvements.
The ordinance instructing the City At
torney to collect i certain sum from the
Passenger and Power Company, alleged
to be due as taxes on the gross earnings
CT that company, coming from the Com
mon Council. was concurred in. This
sum is estimated by the City Accountant
to be $1,000 The Passenger and Power
Company contend that this is not due

That is directly in line with the arsu-

discussing this subject, and we should be
glad to see tho newspapers generally
throughout the state take the same rea-
sona5le view This convention is a con-

1t seems 10 us the part Of wisdom and
the part OF justice for the people TO re-
serve their criticisms until the conven-
ton has reached conclusions. 1t is Meth
or fair nor wise to criticise processes. Re-
suits are the things which count. IT is
only by discussion, by a fair and full
exchange OF views, that the members Of
the convention will be able to sift out
errors and defects, and this they have
beer. honestly endeavoring to do. Every
question that has come up has been in
diligently and fairly debated. Members
have met each other in the spirit of con-
cession. and have reserved final opinions
until all the facts should come out. There
is now good reason TO believe that the
members will soon be in position to act
definitely and finally and we still believe
that they will give the people a good
Constitution.

The Baltimore American says that q
bin has been introduced in the Maryland
Legislature providing for the creation of
an advisory board OF pardons. The board
viii probably consist of six members,
of whom the encouragement will be
one. This board will receive applications
for pardons as we'll as facts bearing upon
them. Its findings will be laid before the
Governor, who Will not be legally bound
to follow its conclusions.
There ought to be such a board in
every State lit is too much of q burden
and too much of a responsibility to put
upon any Governor to require him to
deal singIy and alone with all the appli-
cations for pardons that come before him.

considered absolutely necessary for
the fashionable and artistic table
linens. Hemstitching is a feature of
the table covers, the napkins, the
tray cloths, carving cloths and tea
cloths. Doylies are not, as rule,
hemstitched. but this year they are
shown both in embroidered styles
and in fringed and lace edged styles.
Centerpieees are made both round
and square, and match the dOyles.
Among the pretty and fairly ex-
elusive designs in table covers and
matched napkins is one of ferns. just
inside the hemstitchtd edge is a
broad row of the ferns turning
square at the corners, and inside this
row is a narrower row turning round
at the corners. The center of the
cover is plain damask linen save a
fern floral piece in the center. The
napkins match in a smaller design.
\ more pronounced design is in a
scroll pattern mixed with grasses.
The Washington bee., 1902-05-03

Of those of other seasons that are
still favorites, and of which many are
being sold by the dealers in the
larger cities, may be mentioned such
designs as the first empire, the goth
ic, the morning glory, summer gar
lands, tulips, poppy, new carnation
chrysanthemum. glendale, fielddale
pansy and American beauty rose
In fact, some of this latter list are
proving more popular than some OF
those of the former list.
In bed and toilet linens the order
of the day is hemstitching. 1t is
hemstitched sheets and pillow cases
either of linen or cotton, and hem.
stitched towels in damask, huck OF

more familiar subject of dress let US

designs have the square corners
This is seen only in the finer quail

Another elaborate design is called
tie Corinthian scroll. and is formed
of INTERVIEWING leaves. The outer
edge of the damask is marked by a
narrow border of the leaves and in
side this is the broad scroll design,
the outer corners being square to
match the design in the center.
Floral designs have the preference
however, and many different varie-
ties are shown. Another of these is
the lilac. the general character of the
design being much ike the others,
with the broad band at the outside
and inclosing a narrower rounded
one in the center.
