Growth of Manufacturing ...-,
While Washington, therefore, is not a
manufacturing city in the general signifi-
canoe Of the term. statistics show that
there has, nevertheless. BEN q" felfra rkable
growth In the manufacturing and mechani
cal industries here during the past half
century. The population from 1850 to 1900
increased from 51,6sT to 27S,11S, while the
average number of wage earners employed
in manufacturing Establishments increased
from 2.570 to 81 G93 embracing in 1900
nearly Q per cent of the entire population,
against per cent in 1850. Probably
the best indication of the Importance of
the wage earning class Is afforded by the
greatest number employed at any one time
during the year
In 1900 this was 80 $50. or nearly 10 per
cent of the total population of the District
This number includes the Industrial work
ployes Of the gun shops, the government
printing office and the bureau of engraving
and printing, but of course does not in
clude the clerks and officials of the execu-
tive branches and departments.
Total Value Of Products.
The total value of the products of Wash
tngton Industrial establishments in the
year 1900. as shown by the last census re-
turns, was 1902 100. This includes the
output Of the Industrial establishments of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-12-16

There are about 200 carpenterlng establish
nlents in the District, the annual operations
Of which amount to about 100000. About
1860 men are employed at the trade The
products of the lumber and planning mills
in the District amount yearly to about
$500 coo. The plastering and paperhanging
industries amount to S750000 annually;
house and sign painting Is carried on to the
extent of $3.50, 656; tin and copper smithing
amounts to SITS, 267. The plumbing industry
Is large one. There are 136 such estab-
hshments in the District, according to the
latest figures. and the yearly value OF the
work done by them is 81. 1858, 142
The printing industry is the most import
ant after leaving the building operations.
The total number of newspaper, periodical,
book and job printing establishments IN the
District is 49, representing estimated
invested capital of about s3.25oOOO. The val
ue of the yearly output of these establish
ments is estimated at 81 600.
One of the most interesting studies IN con-
nection with the industries of the capital
city is that of clothing. 1t is estimated that
the value Of the custom work and repairing
of mems clothing alone during the year In
this CITY amounts to 81 ,400,19S. The esti-
mated cost of the production Of women 5
clothes, dressmaking, etc, is $4S5, 9io
These figures are taken to Indicate not that
the women do not dress as well as the men,
but that a very great proportion or them
nrobably make their own clothes. What the
women lack in the figures on wearing ap-
parel they more than make up when II
comes to millinery. The custom millinery
work In the District amounts to no less
than SOL PSF a year. The custom work on
boots and shoes for both sexes amounts to
s244 400. These figures do not represent
total value of the clothing. the hat and the
shoe trades in the District. They merely
account for the clothes. hats and shoes
made in the city Of Washington from raw
material. The value of the corsets manu-
featured in the District each year ranges
from $4,000 up.
The Bakery Products.
The manufacture of bread is naturally one
Of the largest industries in each munich
pality The estimated value of the bakery
products in Washington each year is
So G3S,I1G There are 10j baking establish
ments, representing an invested capital of
s1,O13,S4s.

the roof line there are towers and gables
and devices of various sorts to break the
SameneSS of the street front. Then too
there is a great deal Of individual building
that Is to say. by man who has given
enough thought about the house that he
wants to live In not to be entirely satisfied
with one that has been put up by some one
else, no matter how skillful such q person
may be in providing for the conveniences of
domestic life.
Instead, therefore, of buying a house al
ready built. such a man buys a lot and has
plans prepared and erects his own house.
IL goes without saying that such a house
differs from the neighboring structures 1t
has Its own individuality, and the thought
or the owner Is expressed in the forms
which are worked out in brick and mort7r
AT any rate, the presence of the man who
builds single house his own home is
felt by the man who builds to SELL and the
consequence is that there is variety in the
scope OF the domestic architecture of this
city that is probably unique. certainly in
the cities Of this country.
Fashion in Architecture.
Washington architecture is not insensible
to the fashions of the day. for, OF course, II
is well understood that there is fashion In
architecture as much as there is in clothes.
1t is easy to traee these passing styles, from
the mansard roof period down through the
Queen Anne and the Romanesque and the
colonial. and now to the French renaissance.
Striking and happy examples can be found
OF all these different schools Of architecture.

Jackson Day was observed here to-

cratic Club. William Jennings
Bryan was a guest and chief speak
er. More than 100 guests attended
the banquet, which was held prior
to public meeting in Music Hall,
Many prominent Democrats from
over the State were present.
AT the conclusion of the banquet
Mr.. Bryan was introduced. He
said he should talk somewhat more
freely of partisan matters to the
banqueting than he intended at the
public meeting to follow. In part
he said:
eff l formed my opinion by what
l read in the daily press | would
come to the conclusion that there
are not MANY Democrats left. l
cannot in that way find ont what is
going on among the masses. 1t is
extremely gratifying to me to find
by coming to you and to others that
there are bands of men who are not
disheartened by defeat--men who
think more of having their party
right in principles than to be mere
ly successful. The Democratic party
has no right to exist except it has
principles to exist for, and no
principle justifies existence OF a
party unless it is great principle.
The principle that is not great
enough to die for is not great

at is a fortunate thing for man
and the rest of the animal king
dom," said the naturalist, "that no
large wild animal has mouth con-
structed with the devouring appa-
ratus built on the plan of the in
signifcant-lookin snail's mouth.
"The snail eats with his tongue
and the roof of his mouth. The
tongue is a ribbon which the snail
keeps in a coil in his mouth. This
tongne is in reality a band-saw,
with the teeth on the surface in
stead of on the edge. The teeth
are so small that as many as 3d.
600 of them have been found on
one snail's tongue. They are ex-
ceedingly sharp, and only a few
of them are used at time-not
exactly only a few of them, but
few of them comparatively, for the
snail will probably have 1000 or
| 5 1000 of them in use at once.
"He does this by means of his
coiled tongue. He can uncoil as
much of this as he chooses, and the
uncoiled part he brings into SER
vice. The roof of his mouth is as
hard as bone. He grasps the leaf
between his tongue and that hard
substance, and, rasping away with
his tongue, saws through the tough
est leaf with ease, always leaving
the edge smooth and straight.
"By use the teeth wear off or be-
come dulled. When the snail finds
that his tool is becoming blunted,
he uncoils another section, and
works that out until he has
come to the end of the coil. Then
he coils the tongue up agaiu, aud
is ready to start in new, for while
he has been using the latter por-
tions of the ribbon, the teeth have
grown in again in the idle por-
tions; the saw has been filed and
reset, so to speak; while he is using
them the teeth in the back part of
the coil are renewed. So l think |
am right in saying that if any large
beast of prey was fitted up with
such a devouring apparatus as the
snail has, it would 60 hard with

"LET US FIGHT ENGLAND ALONE" "

Rev. Herman Van Broekhuizen,
chaplain of the Transvaal Volks-
raad, delivered an address in Grace
Reformed church, Washington
City, recently Mr.. Broekhuizen
described the camps where the
Boer women and children are i'm
prisoned, and likened the inhuman-
tiles of these camps to the cruel
ties of Herod. In replying to the
query, "Why don't the Beers stop
fighting?" he declared, "Because
we haue nothing left but our inde-
pendence to fight for.''
After eloquently presenting the
Boer cause, Mr.. Van Broekhuizen
said:
"All that we ask of America is
that she remain neutral. Keep
your horses and mules at home.
Let us fight England alone. The
future Of South Africa is not in
the hands of America or any other
country, but in the hands of God"
Is this too large request for
two republics fighting for consti-
tutional government to make of
the greatest of all republics7
"All that we ask of America is
that she remain neutral. Keep
your horses and mules at home.
Let US fight England alone They
have no Lafayette to help them as
our forefathers were helped, nor
do they ask for actual aid; they
simply ask that in the contest be-
tween an empire and republic,
the greatest republic on earth re-
main neutral.
A New Orleans court decided
that the question whether horses
and mules could be exported from
this country for the benefit of the
British in South Africa was ques-
ton for the administration to de-
eide, and the injunction asked on
this point was denied by the court.
What course will Mr.. Roosevelt
take concerning the appeal that the
United States become neutral on
the South African war?
We have not been neutral in the
past. While it is true the sympa-
thies of the American people have
largely been with the South Afri-
cans, it is also true that whatever
benenJ and advantage Great Brit
ain could obtain in this country
has been obtained and the course
of our official representatives has
been distinctly favorable to the en-
pire as against the republic.
Is it not fair that we keep our
horses and mules at home? Is it
not time that we let England fight
alone its battle of Imperialism, its
war of conquest in South Africa'
