 Although the great Body of Voters was indifferent and failed to Register, one Fact was most encouraging to the Candidate. From the first to the last of his Campaigning, every Voter he met was with him and with him Strong. He could not find anyone who was in favor of the corrupt and mercenary Antag- onist. So he figured that although the Vote would be light. he would get about 9S per cent of it.
 The Election was about as exciting as a. Quaker Meeting. Now and then some one sauntered up to a Polling Place and went back into the Pantry and marked his Ballot and then dug out without tipping anything off.

 Once there was Man who belonged to all the Secret Orders and looked like an Irishman and had a German Name and employed a lot of Swede Help, so he received the Nomination for County Treasurer.
 He was nominated the Night be- fore the Convention by a large red Mind Reader who knew what the Peo- pie wanted before they found it out for themselves. He couldn't have been elected Constable on his own Hook as he had Record that including Crave Robbing. Brace Faro and Second Story Work. So the only thing left for him to do in Politics was to name the Candidates and then, if the Com. bination went through, get first Whack at the Contracts and put all of his High Binders on the PayRoll.

 This eminent Disciple of the String Game was the one who picked out the Candidate for County Treasurer. There was another Aspirant who had Peti- ton signed by l4,000 Property Owners but when it came to a showdown at the Primaries he had only F votes and S of those were thrown out by the Judges because one of the would be Delegates had his Name mis-spelled Which shows what can be done to the Independent when he tries to buck the Machine.
 The Candidate for County Treasurer yielded to the entreaties of his Friends and permitted the Use of his Name as soon as he had it figured out to him that by freezing on to the Interest on Public Funds he could rake off about 10000 Louies per Annum. As soon as the free and untrammeled Convention had named him by Reclamation. he fought his Way through the Cigar Smoke and made a Speech of Accept ance.

USE OF PALM OIL IN
MAKING 0LE0MARGARINE
Argument Before the Commissioner of
Revenue as to C0loring
Matter.

Mr.. C. Y. Knight, of Chicago, secre-
tary of the National Dairying Union,
made an argument yesterday before
Internal Revenue Commissioner Yerkes
concerning the use of pain oil in the
manufacture of oleomarganrine.
He contended that all palm oil was,
in its pure state, colorless, and that the
color contained in it is from the vege-
table fiber of the plant, through the pro-
cess of manufacture, He said that after
separation the oil containing the color
is an artificial coloring matter.
His argument was that as oleomar-
garine colored with palm oils contained
artificial coloring matter it should be
taxed 10 cents a pound. Commissioner
Yerkes has not yet given his decision
in the matter.

MIR. WILSON'S TRIP FOR
BOARD OF CHARITIES
Result of Tour May Prove
Beneficial to District.
Examined Asylums of Various Kinds
While on an Inspection Tour
Through the North.

Mr. George S. Wilson, secretary to the
Board of Charities, returned to his du-
ties yesterday, after a ten-day trip to
Boston and vicinity, where he went to
visit several institutions for the pur-
pose OF studying their methods of opera
tion in special lines, building plans and
general administration. Mr.. Wilson is,
from time to time, collecting data of
this kind to serve as hints and helps TO
the Board of Charities in the care OF
the INDECENT in this citv.
The District is engaged in construct
ing a male workhouse, municipal hos
pital and an alnshouse. The workhOuse
is progressing and is nearly completed.
The plans for the municipal hospital
have been decided upon, and work upon
the structures which are to compose
the hospital will probably be begun dur
ing the present fiscal year. An archi-
tect is also at work upon the plans Of
the almshouse, to be built in the near
future on the site purchased therefor
in the southeastern part OF the District.
Data for Almshouse.
The purpose OF Mr.. Wilson's visit to
Boston was, in part, to collect data rel
ative to the famous Tuksbury Aims
house, of Massachusetts, to be used by
the architect in planning the new build
ing here. a question - administration
was also studied by him in that institu-
tion. A suggestion was made some time
ago to the Board of Charities that ar
rangements should be made whereby old
couples-Inan and wife-should be al
lowed to live together in the aimshousc.
In general here and elsewhere, it has
been customary to separate such people
in the almshouse ana keep them sepa
rate in the male and female wards. re-
spectiyely. Recently. in Massa chusetts.
however the experiment has been tried
Of allowing INDECENT couples to live to-
gether. The plan seems to have sue
ceeded fairly well. and Mr. Wilson made
a study of the matter while in Boston.
1t is more than probable the plan will
be put to the test here. at least when
the new building is completed.
Plan in Massachusetts,.
In Massachusetts the old people are
kept in the building reserved to the
women. and in one corridor the aged
couples are allowed to be in a room
together during each day. At night
the old men are taken TO the men S
house. where they sleep. 1t is proposed
here to arrange a portion of the aims
house so as to allow each couple to re-
main together permanently, and the be-
lief is that the old people will be better
satisfied with the arrangement.
Mr.. Wilson also visited several hos
pitfalls in and around Boston and studied
the different methods of administration.
He gathered some data with reference
to the arrangement of buildings and the
manner Of dealing with various matters
that have been under consideration |
here.

that employees of the office VIII be dis
missed for over indulgence in intoxi-

The Commissioner says that when an
employe is dismissed on the charge of
drunkenness no plea will be strong
enough TO secure reinstatement.
The new rule is to be as inexorable as
the laws Of the Medes and Persians.
Sudden reformations viii not earn an
other trial. Pleas that the dismissed
clerk has a wife and fa-Gly dependent
on him Will make no difference That
game has been worn out by the chronics

valued at 1923, as compared with

Although the extraordinary demand
for coke which developed in 1899 and
continued through 1900 was maintained
throughout 1901. the average price per
ten showed decline from s2.31 in 1900
to s2.04 in 1901. The decline in price
was natural one, as during the spring
of 1900 the prices were unusually high
ar Taised the prices for that year to a

ASKS HALF MILLION
DAMAGES OF GERMANY
Vain Attempt to Compel the
Presentation of Claim.
Ferdinand Holzendorf's Petition for
Mandamus Against Secretary Hay
Denied Story of Alleged
Wrongs.

The Secretary of State was named as
defendant in petition filed in the Su-
preme Court OF the District yesterday
by Ferdinand Holzendorf, of Idaho, in
which the court is asked TO compel the
Secretary to institute proceedings
against the German empire or the
kingdom OF Prussia, or both, in his be-
half to recover 100000 damages for
false Imprisonment.
The petition was for a writ of man
damus, and Justice Hagner, after hear
ing it read by Mr.. R. S. Tharin, coun-
sci for the claimant, declined even to
issue a rule requiring the Secretary to
show cause why the writ should not be
issued.
Must Pay the Costs.
Mr.. Tharin asked the consent OF the
court to file the petition "in forma
pauperis." but was not permitted to do
so. In this connection the court ex-
amined Mr.. Holzendorf relative to his
financial standing. He informed the
court that he had million dollars in
terest in a gold mine in the West, and
Justice Hagner Immediately announced
that he would not permit the papers to
be fled without the payment of costs
Holzendorf's Allegations.
Counsel for the petitioner stated that
he would take an appeal from the de-
cision of Justice Hagner refusing to is
sue the writ OF mandamus.
Mr.. Holzendorf states that he is a
German by birth. and q naturalized
American citizen. He says that on May
II. 1898, while bearing Il passport from
the State Department of the United
States Government, he was arrested at
Berlin and imprisoned in an asylum for
the insane at Dalldarf and there detain-
ed until July s, 1899 On the date last
mentioned he said he was declared by
the landgeriche, the highest court of
Berlin. to be Of SQUAD mind. and further
that such was his condition since he
returned to Germany.
Official Inactivity Charged.
The petitioner declared that the State
Department ignored this circumstance
and based its non-action on irrelevant
matters and things which occurred
twenty years prior to his becoming an
American citizen.
He further said that he has never been
lax or remiss in prosecuting his griev-
anccs against the German government
and that the United States Government
took no action in the matter.
