DELIVER BLUNT MESSAGES.
Remarks of Two Co1ored Ministers tc
Members of Their Race.

Emma Washingtons house in Shea's
court southwest was not large enough to
accommodate the men. women and children
who called to hear what was to be said
over the body of Elijah Chapman, colored,
who died on the scaffold Friday. In order
that they might be heard the colored min
listers, Messrs. Roberts and Howard, stood
at the door while making their remarks
MIR. Roberts, who was in charge of the
exercises. started out by informing his
hearers that he would talk to the living
and not to the dead He said his audience
was made up largely of drunkards, gam
blers and disreputable women, who habit
ually violate the laws of God and of the
land. referring to the many flowers that
had been sent to the house the minister
asked his hearers what the dead man had
done that he should be so honored If the
deceased was admitted into Heaven the
colored minister declared 1t was an eleventh
hour entrance and he said he went in empty
handed.
I'm talking to my own race now" said
the minister, and l want to say that fire.
Guently when l get on street cars men and
women of my race, who are also passeng-
ers, behave themselves so bad that I'm
ashamed OF them and OftentimeS m forced
to leave the car. Stop 1t, l say, for YOU
cannot live In such way, end your lives
in prison, and expect me to assist YOU into
Heaven at the last minute. You can't get
in,
The Rev. Howard followed, saving he
wanted to sanction what had been said
and concluded by decla ring that Chapman
had taken the life of Carrie Hakwins sew
eral years ago, as we'll as that of Ida
Simms, the first day of this year.
During the ceremonies colored woman
got to shouting and Rev Roberts inform
ed her there as no reason for her to get
happy and had her taken from the house.

CONSOLIDATION OF BILLS.
Recommendation Of the Commissioners
Regarding Pending Legislation.

The District Commissioners have recon-
mended to the Senate District committee
that Senate bills 1896 and 5191, each being
for the relief of certain owners Of District
of Columbia tax scrip, be consolidated and
passed. The total amount Of the old cor
poration scrip similar to that whose re-
demption is proposed in these bills is cal
cuiated by the assessor Of the District to
be $1.200.43. This scrip was issued to con-
tractors for work done in the execution Of
public improvements, and was based on
assessments made against property for the
cost of such work. 1t is not known by
whom this scrip is now held, as it was
transferable. and was, to a large extent, If
not entirely, sold by the contractors to
whom it was issued. The property in de-
fault was repeatedly advertised and offered
for sale, but 1t does not appear to have
been sold, apparently for the reason that
no one cared to purchase It, and the Dis
trict at that time had no authority to buy
it in
The Commissioners say the city solicitor
reports that the statute of limitations now
bars the collection of these assessments and
that they are, therefore, no longer liens
upon the property assessed.

Obstruction to NAVIGATION.

During the heavy freshet early in the
spring a scow was brought down by the
waters and sunk at Stick Landing, the fish
ing shore near River View, so that it is now
impossible to haul seine there. This was
not known when the fishing season opened
and Capt. Raum. the owner of the shore,
put his net overheard When the men at
tempted to land it a large portion of the
net was cut and badly damaged by hanging
on the wreck.
The obstacle lies in the eastern side of
the channel and is directly in the way OF
sailing craft who use the Maryland side of
the river to avoid strong tides. The United
States engineers office has been requested
to look after the obstruction and remove it.

WORK OF A VANDAL.
Room Upset, Pictures Turned to Wall
and Curtains Cut

Sunday morning when Alfred Harmer of
1O11 Virginia avenue southeast arose and
went down stairs the condition Of things
in the front room gave him the impression
that cyclone had visited there while he
was asleep. Five panes of glass had been
broken, the lace curtains cut and the pic
lures turned to the wall.
Mr.. Harmer reported the affair to the
police He was inclined to the belief that
the perpetrator of the affair considered
/. a joke and he would have the same opin-
ion had not the lace curtains been cut. De-
tective Tyser was assigned to the case and
he is making an investigation.
b. The work in some respects resembles that
of Jack, the Slasher." who operated here
several years ago. Since his arrest and
sentence two or three cases involving the
destruction of property in dwellings have
occurred. The police are anxious to ascer-
tain who committed the depreciation at Mr..
Harmers home. The police of the fifth pre-
cinct are assisting Detective Tyser in the
case.

William street, New York.
RECENT EVENTS HAVE DEMONSTRATED
TWO THINGS:
1. Copper is produced at less cost on the Verde
Copper Belt than anywhere else in the world
In suit recently tried In New York to which
Professor Treadwell and Senator Clark par
Ties, and In which the affairs OF the United Verde
Copper Company were in issue, 1t proved by
the books of the company and the testimony
or the bookkeepers that the United Verde Company
produces copper at cost of three and a half
cents pound, without counting the gold and silver
values which reduces the cost TO Il still lower
figure.
1t is doubtful If copper is produced anywhere
outside of the Verde Copper Belt for less than
twice that cost.
2 The George A. TreadweI Mining Company
has more and better copper producing property on
the Verde Copper Belt than any other mining or
ganization
Since the recent strike in the Cliff-one OF the
Treadwell mines-this is n demonstrated fact
The surface shOwings the Clif have always
been recognized better than those on the United
Verde, and the vein at the depth Of the present
workings Is than four times the width OF the
United Verde vein at the depth, while the
ore carries at least equal values in copper. gold
and silver.
The Cliff, however, is only OF many mines
the Verde Copper Belt owned by the George 4.
rreadwell Mining Company The Brookshire.
Badger, Pastime, Spoke aud Stonewall. Green
Monster and Iron Queen al give promise Of max
ing a good against both the Clin and the
United Verde for supremacy.
Taken altogether, the Treadwell Mining Company
has a property magnificent in extent and of unsur-
passed value.
