New Feature OF the Fair.-As an
additional feature the Fair Association will
add four jumping contests TO the usual pro-
gram on August 18th, as follows:
Glass 1, for green hunters, in which con-
formation will count 80 per cent; perform
ance so per cent.
Glass 2, for qualified hunters, where per.
Torrance only counts.
Glass 3, August 10th, high jump, for the
highest jumper
Glass 4, limited to green heavyweight
carrying Jumpers, the bone fide property of
citizens of Montgomery county and in no
way connected with any hunt club.
In connection with this latter class, II is
urged that the prize is given as an induce
ment for Montgomery county farmers to de-
velop the jumping qualities OF their animals.
There is demand, at high prices, for horses
that, after schooling, can carry heavy man
over Al foot fence. We hope that owners
of likely animals will start at once TO pre-
pare for this coming Fair. There are many
good horses Of this class IN the county TO-
day that are doing ordinary farm work-at
heavy wagon one day, "A seat dayton the
next-and 1t is hoped their owners will dis
cover and show them. Let every district
produce at least one entry. This is only the
entering wedge.
There will be no entrance fee, and $50
will be divided into three monies-$25
$15, $40.

Baby Burned to Deatn.-The mt

Baby Burned TO Death.-The most
disastrous fire that has ever visited Garrett
Park, this county, broke out in the home OF
Mr.. David Bissett at IL o'clock Sunday,
and 10 the course of an hour and half this
house and the adjoining one, belonging TO
Mr.. Byran G. Infancy, were totally destroy
ed. Mr.. Bissett's two-year old daughter,
Florence, was burned TO death.
At the hour named Mr.. Bissetts sister-in.
law was preparing dinner, and was lighting
the oil stove, when an explosion occurred,
setting the kitchen a6re In an instant Mrs.
Bissett was lying i'll on the upper floor. As
soon az she heard the screams OF her sister
in law, she arose IRON her bed and, seizing
her infant child, made Tor the lower floor.
Her other two children were with her in the
room, but, owing TO her weak condition,
she was unable to take them with her.
Miss Eliza Bissett, niece Of Mr.. David
Bissett, ran to the bedroom, which, by that
time, was filled with smoke, but could only
find the three year-old daughter Choked
with smoke, she made for the door, when
she heard the heart-rending appeal:
"Lassie, take me with you" 1t was too
late. Overcome by the smoke, she had
barely time TO escape with the older child.
Mr.. Bissett and several neighbors made at.
temps TO save the child, but we're driven
back by the smoke.
In the meantime, the people OF the town
gathered and endeavored To save what they
could. The town has no waterwOrks, and,
although Mr.. Blssett had a windmill and
tank holding 1000 gallons Of water, it
could not be utilized, az the fire started in
the Immediate vicinity OF the tank, and il
was soon 10 mass OF flames. II was only
possible TO save lew articles Of furniture.
The wind, which had been moderate from
the east, suddenly shifted TO the south, and
the adjoining house belonging TO Mr. TIT
fanny caught fire, despite the heroic efforts OF
the fire-fghters. Ia this Instance, however,
It was possible to save considerable furni-
ture and most OF the personal apparel OF the
family. As the wind freshened, there was
danger that the houses of Mr.. Van Casteel
and that of Mr.. Momsen would take fire
and all efforts were made TO prevent the fire
from spreading. A bucket brigade was
quickly formed, and men went TO the roof
OF the houses and quickly put out the IN
cipient fires on the shingle roofs. Mr.. J
Q. Stoddard's house, about 900 feet distant
caught FIRE at one time, but the flames wert
quenched by the quick work Of his two sons
The damage, expressed 10 dollars and
cents, will amount to about $4,000. In ad
ditIon 10 the Bissett dwelling, several Of biz
greenhouses were destroyed. Mr.. Bisset
carried but $4,000 insurance, but Mr.. Tiff
fanny Is considered fully insured.
Mrs. Bssett is in q serious condition. Sh'
was removed to q neighbours house, and wa
attended by DIR. Lewis, of Kensington, au'
later was taken TO her brothers home, a
Cleveland Park.
Much credit in checking the fire is due
the men Of Kensington, who brought mum
Der of chemical fire extinguishers and worke
hard 10 extinguish the fire.

Tournament and Reunion.

From the Indications il looks as If the
stables at Cabin John Bridge will not be
able 20 accommodate the thousands OF vehI.
Giles that will DO there on the day of the
Tournament and Farmers Reunion la Sep
tember, provided the weather be favorable.
Tom Henley, the popular livery man at Cabin
John, is thinking seriously OF having his
commodious quarters enlarged for the occa-
sion. The Tournament continues to be the
chlei subject oil conversation In Montgomery
county. IL is evident from the splendid
records held by many who have already en-.
tered the lists, and from the amount of prac.
tcing being done that the contest will be
fine one, and that the winner will have no
easy time carrying off the laurels. A mag.
nificent location we'll adapted both To actors
and spectators has been chosen.
Next TO the tournament, the baby show is
OF prime Importance, and In the eyes OF the
mothers, rivals the political issues OF the day.
The babies are being carefully scrutinized
with an eye to developing their good points
and remedying their bad ones before the
eVentful day. Sunbonnets are in requsi-
ton for the prevention of tan and ireckles,
and fattening processes are In order Tor the
purpose OF bringing babies weight above par.
The latest and thinnest, the biggest aud
littlest citizen, the oldest twins, will all be
there 10 capture prizes, and addresses W the
winners will be made by prominent citizens
of the county.

the young people in the celebration, and

suggestion of Commissioner mcfarland
that all young people should provide them
selves with flags by Flag day. and carry
them on the Fourth of July, waving them
as the procession passed. and at the meet

bration. provide them with flags, and see
that they are represented by small contri-

RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED.
Court Grants Temporary Injunction
Against the Postmaster General.

Justice Hagner signed temporary re-
straining order this morning enJoining
Henry c. Payne. the Postmaster General,
or his agents from interfering with the
massage of the publication of the New
England Railway Publishing Company
through the mails as second-class matter.
This is one of the many~cases of similar
character filed against the Postmaster
General during the past year.
In the present instance the petitioner Is
the publisher of a number of publications.
some of which are monthly and some quar-
terly alleged to contain general lnforma-
ton regarding the railway and telegraph
service and the postal laws and the ire
uuent changes therein. October ID. 1901,
the Postmaster General. through the third
assistant postmaster general communl-
Gated with the publisher named as petit
TONER in this case. and required him TO
show cause within ten days why the publ
cations should not be denied classification
as second-class mail matter. The petitioner
endeavored to show cause, but. neverthe-
less, November 10, an order was issued by
the Postmaster General denying the pub
LEGATION known as THE Baby Pathfinder
Railway Guide" the right to pass through
the mails as Second-claSS matter, ana SUD-
seauently other publications of the petit
toner were denied the use of the second
class privilege.
The suit of the New England company
was filed May 15 and the injunction grant
ed restraints the defendant until the final
hearing of the matter Is had. The case Is
likely to go to the Court Of Appeals and
afterward to the United States Supreme
Court for final adjudication.
There are a number of such cases and
they have all been taken to the higher
courts.

The Kempster Report.
o the Editor Of The Evening Star:


The statement of DR. Walter Kempster
that his report on the condition of the
Jews in Russia which was printed by the
United States government as public doc
ument. was suppressed by agents of the
Russian government is absurd. copy
of the document blouse ex. doc. 235 pit. :,
% Cong, 1st sess.. in vol. 80 may be found
in any depository library in the United
States. 1t is a document which would
doubtless not be permitted to circulate in
Russia. but it would be impossible for
any one. even the President of the United
States. to suppress document ordered
printed by Congress.
The report in question was made by
commission appointed under an act ap
proved March 3. 1891, authorizing the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to investigate the
Importation into the United States of alien
contract laborers. The following named
were appointed to investigate in Europe
and report to the Secretary of the Treas
ury John b. Weber, commissioner of
man: Judson NJ. Cross, Minnesota; Walter
kempster. NJ. D.. Wisconsin; Jos. Pow
DERBY. Pennsylvania; Herman j. Schulteis.
Washington. d. c. Weber and kempster
were assigned to investigate In northern
France. Holland. Belgium. Germany, Rus
STA. Austria and Hungary. The larger
portion of their report is devoted to the
condition of the Jews in Russia, owing to
the large number of Jews who were leav-
ing that country and coming to the United
States. Their report is exceedingly inter-
esting reading at the present time, when
the question of the treatment of the Jews
in Russia is the subject of general dis
cussion.
The statement that there was more than
the usual delay in printing the document is
also erroneous 1t was transmitted to Con-
gress February %, 1892. and was printed
in its regular order at the government
printing office the same year
