Firemen's Coffee Fund.

The amount named by Commissioner
Macfarland in his suggestion that a coffee
fund be secured for the members of the
fire department. s400 has been more than
subscribed, and the Commissioner Is much
gratified over the manner in which the citi-
Zens of the District have come forward to
aid in this worthy cause. The subscrip
tions now amount to s413. The last amount
acknowledged was s401. Since that time
Kings Palace has sent in a check for $40
and DR.. Woodbury., 81. 1t has been decided
to equip the two supply wagons Of the de-
partment with the coffee urns rather than
the fuel wagons The supply wagons are
better adapted for the purpose, and as they
always turn Out to- large CONGREGATIONS the
purposes of the Coffee fund will be met.
Commissioner Macfarland estimates that
the fund as now constituted will equip the
wagons and furnish supplies for a year.
ANY additional subscriptions however, WIN
be gladly received at any time.

Defended It.

Now when the delegates to the st. Louis

Breckinridge, a subaltern of militia in the
revolutionary war, the proposer of the Ken
lucky resolutions of 1898, the senator of the
United States who warmly defended the
Louisiana purchase as being wise and the
right thing to expend money for, as other
wise the region would have to be acquired
by the shedding of blood. He was appoint
ed Jefferson's Attorney General, and died In
1906. 1t was his greatgrandson, Ensign Jo-

The District Commissioners today trans
mitted to Congress the annual report of the

tober 81 last. From November /, 1901, to
October 81, 1902, the board granted 514 bar
room licenses, comprising clubs. hotels and
saloons and 1913 wholesale liquor licenses,
including grocers, bottlers and strictly
wholesale places. The number of bar-room
applications rejected during the same period
was eight and the number of wholesale
liquor license applications unfavorably act
ed upon was eleven.
There have been SIG applications for bar
room licenses filed since October last, of
which number SOC have been allowed. seven
rejected and three are pending. There were
129 applications for wholesale liquor. licenses
filed, of which number 1913 have been grant
ed. two rejected and one is pending. From
March 4, 1902. to March 3, 1903. thirty-one

else law. The amount of fines imposed by
the Police Court during that period was
