District Building Notes.

DIR. ]. p. Turner of the health department
recently reported to Health Officer Wood
ward that Charles Wolf. residing on Mills
avenue near Langdon, recently killed a dog
showing marked symptoms of rabies. "A
Newfoundland dog belonging to Wolf was
quarantined, but afterward removed to the
pound and killed.
The Commissioners have approved the
position taken by Chief Engineer Belt of
the fire department that the one Waterman
in the department Is not entitled to partfci-
patton in the firemen's relief fund. and
therefore should not be assessed at the rate
of 81 month, as the other members Of the
department are. The Waterman is not ex-
posed to fire risks.
The request of the Petworth Citizens AS
ISOLATION for improvement Of various streets
in that subdivision has been placed on file
by the Commissioners for consideration IN
preparing future estimates to Congress.

Officials and employees at the District

Donovan, license inspector In the office of
Mr.. H. II. Darneille the assessor, Is rapidly
recovering from the accident that befell
him at his home. 1918 o street northwest,

some from bronchitis but unless compiled
lions should ensue he will be out in few
days. Mr.. Donovan slipped in the tub while
bathing Sunday at'his home. In falling he
must have made an effort to catch at the

some time later one of the burners was
turned partly on, the other burning. Mr.
Donovan was rendered unconscious He
was discovered by a servant in the house.

Mountaineering in America.

From the New York World.
Two members of the American Alpine
Club have just conquered Mount Goodsir,
chief peak Of the Otter Tail Range in the
Canadian Rockies. They report the ascent
very difficult and the height of the hitherto
virgin summit nearly 1900 feet.
The usefulness Of mountain climbing may
be questioned. But since adventurous men
will doubtless persist in indulging in 1t, pa
triotic Americans will be pleased to reflect
that their continent affords opportunities
for new conquests for many years to come.
Switzerland does not. Not only has every
mountain there been climbed but 1t Is
scarcely possible even to make a record
by seeking out a new path to some ia
miliar subpeak. The. Swiss Alpinists are
driven abroad-to the Himalayas, where
Mummery found his oft-courted death; to
the Caucasus; to the Andes.
Upon the North American continent, from
Alaska to Mexico, are almost uncounted
lofty peaks which have never been ascend
ed, and many that have never even been
named. In Washington, in California, ia
Colorado are several grand submits that
rise above 1900 feet to fellowship with
Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, while the
great Alaskan chain that eliminates in an
altitude of almost 10000 feet in st. Elias
surpasses in grandeur as in height any
thing that Switzerland has to offer in the
way Of neck-breaking possibilities.

resignation has been recommended by the
board of charities, visited Commissioner
West at the District building this morning
and informed him that he was preparing

matter, after making separate investiga-
ton, however, on their own account.
DR.. Hickling has recommended to the
Commissioners that Drs. William ]. Lamb
and John H. Gunnell be appointed internes
at the hospital as soon as vacancies occur
These vacancies are expected in the cases
of Drs. w. S. Cain and Mackall.

S0UFRIERE SUFFERERS
PIT1FUL CONDITION OF MANY
FAMILIES.
Bad Circumstances Charged to the OBJ
stinacy Of the Governor
in-Chief.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
KINGSTON, st. Vincent, July 1O.-The
Sentry publishes an article today, calling
public attention to the miserable condition
OF many of the sufferers from the late
eruption of the Soufriere.
THE condition of the stricken families"
says the Sentry, who are sick, starving
and penniless. excites the pity of the hard
est heart and fires with indignation the
minds of those who are aware that this I'M
fortunate. nay disgraceful, circumstances Is
the direct result of the acts of a despotc
governor-in-chief, who treats with con-
tempt all opinions not in accordance with
his own.
I'm spite of the advices Of men whose
knowledge of the island, physically and
otherwise, placed them in position to be
his excelencys advisers in such matter
as the settlement of these people suit
able lands, Sir Robert Llewellyn located
sixty of the starving families on an I'M
healthy spot of Amos Vale Land, without
placing at their disposal a foot of cult
vatable land, no rations, and at a time of
the year when the prospect of their obtain
ing sufficient employment for a livelihood
was the faintest The result Is that many
of these people, weakened by constant hun
ger, have fallen easy victims of the mala
ria that fingers in the stagnant pool near
which they have been lodged.
Nor are these the only batch of refugees
thus deprived of the human comforts which
belong to them out of the relief funds that
were subscribed by a sympathzing world
on their behalf. Others, though better To-
Gated, are also suffering from want of food,
the employment afforded on the estates
near by being inadequate to keep them,
and there are until now large numbers of
these half-naked laborers still living under
the temporary shelters at Colonarie, and
under dirty, tattered tents which were
erected in the center of Barrouallie for
over a twelve month. These temporary
shelters are harbingers of disease and i'm
morality.
I'm the face of all this misery, a sum of
$125, 600 to the credit of the SOufrfere relief
fund was recently RENTED from this gov
eminent to England. at a cost of 81 600, to
be invested, 1t is said. for the permanent
interest of the colony, as If the work Of
relieving immediate distress had been COM
pleted"
The Sentry expresses the hope that its
exposure of the situation in ST Vincent
may lead to the matter being taken up in
the British parliament.

Peacemaker Gets Hurt.

George E. Suit of 1907 South Capitol
street was taken to the Casualty Hospital
last night suffering from the loss Of three
teeth, a fracture of the nose and a num-
Der of cuts and bruises about the face. 1t

while attempting to act as peacemaker
during row in which several men partici-
pated near New Jersey avenue and M
street southeast. James Summers was ar
rested one of the men who had taken
part in the affair, but the case could not

PICKED UP ON 'CHANGE.

J. S. Wood believes that consider
ably more cotton will show up than
many of the bulls are accounting for.
From sections where customers pre-
viously wrote there was no more cot
ton to come, shipments are being re-
ceived. Mr.. Wood mentioned one
town from which six bales came after
the customer had reported closed for
the season with no more cotton to
gather. A half dozen bales does not
amount to a great deal, but if there
are similar instances all over the cot
ton belt the yield will be material
ly increased. In many sections bolls
believed to be barren are opening and
producing a good grade of cotton.
The extent of this is now matter
of Importance for those figuring on
the size of this crop to consider. AS
an illustration of the opening of
bolls after it was thought no more
cotton was to be picked, Mr.. Wood
mentioned the patch of cotton in front
of the Exchange.

NAVAL STORES.
Wadnesdav Dec

Wednesday, Dec. 16.
TURPENTINE-Th turpentine mar
ket opened firm at SEC, sales 81 casks,
and closed firm at 56Ac, sales 251 casks.
The demand was some better, and the
feeling was that the market was, in
all probability, to seek a higher level.
While the demand was not from the
best sources during the day, the belief
was that it would be more generally
distributed tomorrow, when the mar
ket would derive more strength from
the takings. The demand came largely
to-day from the domestic element
Had the foreign element been in the
market the chances are it would have
acquired considerably more strength.
At all events the outlook is decidedly
more encouraging than it was a few
days ago. The last good rise the
market had was when the foreign and
domestic crowds bid against each
other for the offerings, which kept
the market active with an advancing
tendency. Now that there is again
a chance for the two wings of the buy
ing contingent to cross swords for the
offerings the prospects of this compe-
tition are that better prices may be
seen. Around to-day's closing the
feeling among naval stores men was
that it all depends on what the foreign
exporters do. The receipts were $50
casks, exports, no casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
firm, sales 1877 barrels, and closed
firm and unchanged, sales sos barrels.
The demand was fair. The offerings
were inquired for, and the demand was
on the whole regarded as healthy. The
receipts, 5,124 barrels, and the exports
SIS barrels. Prices as follows
