NOT UNTIL AFTER FEBRUARY rs
Will Deeds Be Delivered to Rochester
Real Estate Speculators

Corporation Counsel Duvall has forward
ed an opinion to the Commissioners on the
subject OF the application made by c. H.
Wdltsde, representative of a Rochester, N.
Y, firm Of real estate Spectators, for the
immediate delivery Of deeds to property
purchased by him at the private sale of real
estate bid in by the District of Columbia

Mr.. Wiltsie requests" says Mr.. Duval!,
that the deeds for the property now in
course OF preparation be completed and de-
ivered without unnecessary delay, and he
states that upon such completion and de-
livery he will agree that no such deed shall
be recorded within sixty days from its date,
and that he will return and surrender to
the proper District authorities upon request
by the Commissioners of the assessor or
collector of taxes any such deed or deeds
within the said period of sixty days from
it's date.
1.-THE performance of this promise to re-
turn and surrender any such deed or deeds
within sixty days would be entirely within

forceable against hdm If he should for any
reason decline SO to do; moreover, il the

REVIEWS HER SUIT.
Mrs. Goldsmith Again Seeks to Have
Husband Support Her.

Proceedings for maintenance were insti-
tuted today by Fannie l.. Goldsmith against
Jacob D. Goldsmith. The parties were
married in Baltimore, Md, January "a,
1893, and have one child, now eight years
of age. The petitioner charges that since
she has been living with the defendant he
has seldom provided her with sufficient
food. He has often threatened to kill her,
she says, and has treated her with great
cruelty.
Mrs. Goldsmith explains that November Z
last she filed a biz. for maintenance against
her husband, and the court directed him to
pay her 81 a week as alimony. Suisse
quently, however, after much solicitation
and entreaty, and after his solemn promise
to provide properly for her, she AYERS, she
consented to dismiss her petition.
1t is now asserted by Mrs. Goldsmith that
it was with no intention of keeping his
promises tina. her husband persuaded her
to again live with him, but solely with a
view of getting dismissal of the suit, and
SO escaping the payment of alimony ordered
by the court. Attorneys E. G. Niles and
]. S. Whit represent the petitioner.

STEPHENSON MEMORIAL.
Grand Army of the Republic Hopes to
Raise $4,000.

The Stephenson memorial committee held
a meeting Wednesday at the office of Colo
mel James Tanner. There were present
, Colonel c. A. Partridge, who has been as
slstant adJutant general of the Depart
ment of Illinois. G.. A. R., for the last ten
years, and who was appointed by General
torrance chairman of the committee; Gen
eral Louis Wagner of Pennsylvania, past
commander-in-c of the Grand Army of
the Republic; Colonel Thomas S. Hopkins,
past commander of the Department of the
POTOMAC, and Colonel John McElroy, past
senior vice commandments of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Colonel Nc
Elroy was elected secretary, and General
Wagner treasurer.
The purpose of the committee is to devise
ways and means for securing funds to erect
a monument to Major B. F. Stevenson the
founder and first provisional commander
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. 1t was thought fitting that this me-
mortal should be located in the capital city
of the nation, and a joint resolution was
adopted by Congress last winter providing
for site, which is to be selected by the
Secretary of War and the charmen of the
two congressional committees on library
and grounds.
The committee adopted a resolution that
$4,000 be raised for the proposed memorial.
OF this sum there is already on hand
s. 1920 appropriated for that purpose by
the national encampment from money left
over from the Grant monument fund. The
chairman and secretary were instructed to
prepare appeal to veterans.
The sum decided on will average only
about 10 cents per capita to each member
OF the Grand Army of the Republic and
the committee hopes for a quick and gen.
erouS response.
The National Woman's Relief Corps last
October voted $3.50 for the monument. The
committee has decided that no plans or
models will be received or considered until
there is at least $4,000 in the hands of the
treasurer.

ASKS RECONSIDERATION.
John S. Duf6e Wants to Place Sign on
Tree Box.

The Commissioners have received a letter
from John s. Dufie 1872 F street request
ing that his application to place a sign on a
tree box between 612 and 614 F street be
reconsidered. The writer states that the
regulations appertaining to signs say moth
ing by direct words or by inference against
the placing Of sign upon tree box.
I'VE do not mean to be disrespectful,"
says the writer. but we insist that, as a
citizen of the District and as a person who
. has always made it point to obey the
rules governing the District. and have al
ways paid our taxes, we are entitled to a
respectful hearing, and again petition the
Commissioners to reconsider our applica-
tion."
Commissioner West has recommended the
reference Of the matter to the corporation

Scope and Object of the Museum.
That a comprehensive idea may be had
Of the nature, extent and work Of the Ma
tional Museum, the report on the building
is accompanied by a statement of this char
acter, which gives also brief reference, by
way of comparison, to the museums OF the
same character in the principal Foreign
countries. The National Museum originated
in 1876 through an act of Congress forming
the Smithsonian Institution. The nucleus
of this institution had, however, already
been formed around the beQueSt OF a col
lection of curios made by Smithson, ana
added to and cared for in the patent once
building by a private society known as the
National Institute, organized In ls4O.
The collection was greatly enhanced
through receiving the greater part OF the
museum material gathered for the CEN
tennial exhibition of 1876 at Philadelphia,
this material being donated to the gov
ernmsnt. In 1881 Congress authorized tne
construction of the present museum pui.o-
ing at cost of $25O,O0e, that the exhlplt
might be properly housed. Unless than hve
years from that time not single square
foot of the building remained unoccupied.

the building. but without affording much
relief. II So

HARBOR Works AT RIO.
1t viii Take Six Years to Complete the
Great Improvements.

The Brazilian Government has Just
signed contract with q British firm for
improvements in the harbor of Rio de
Janeiro which will be in progress till 1910.
Rio has one Of the finest natural harbors
in the world. 1t is more than twice as large
as the New York lower bay and is sixty.
eight square miles larger than the lower
and upper bays together; and over one
third of it is deep enough for the largest
vessels. But still many millions of dollars
must be spent on it to make 1t first class
port.
The reason is that the water near the
shores Of the bay Is shallow, and the
bottom is sitting up more and more, 30 that
some Of the old moorage places have had
to be abandoned. Few vessels are Of
sufficiently light draught tie up at a dock
in Rio.
All the merchant marine drop anchor on
the north side Of the city, and lighters carry
freight between them and the shores. This
antiquated and expensive method is to be
changed, for the Government intends to
have a first class commercial port, with
every facility for handling traffio: and tn Q
port is to be made in this manner:
Along the entire northern front Of the city
a wide sea wall or quay two miles in length
is to be built This quay, constructed Of
solid masonry, will be so wide that railroad
trains and wagons can move along It, dis
charging or taking on freight.
Along the outside Of the quay channel
will be dredged to depth Of twenty six
TO thirty-three feet, 80 that the largest
shipping can be accommodated. The chan
mel will be 800 feet wide, SO that the largest
vessels may safely pass one another.
Vessels will tie up along the front of this
sea wall, and cars and wagons will carry
the freight away or bring freight to them
The inner side Of the wall will, in most
places, be some distance from the shore
as the quay will not follow the indentstions
of the shore line. Masonry rail and road
ways will connect with the shore at a num-
ber of points.
When these improvements are completed
Latin America will have three ports that In
the commercial facilities they offer will
rank with the greatest ports Of the world
The harbor Of Buenos Ayres and the road
stead Of Vera Cruz have already been con-
verted at enormous expense into first class
harhora
The sun., 1903-12-13

In the last two years there has been &
marked change in the matter OF servants
and the negro cooks and maids are rapidly
disappearing. Families show disposition
to employ white servants more, and at the
same time, but entirely independent Of this
action, the negroes show less inclination for
domestic service.
Ten years ago oS per cent. Of the domestic
servants In New Orleans were negroes and
90 per cent. OF the laundry work In the city
was done by negroes A servant famine
exists In New Orleans to-day, and the ad-
vertisements show that 90 per cent. OF the
families want white servants II they car
get them.
The number Of negro domestics has
decreased more than one-half in the decade
and is growing less. Very few negro girls
or boys can be induced to take up domestic
service. and these negroes who continue In
service are mainly old mammies. who
have been accustomed to this kind Of work
all their lives.
The separation Of races in the matter OF
homes, the growing up OF distinct white
and black quarters Of the city, such az
exist in China, India and Turkey, is going
on rapidly. The negroes favor II as much
as the whites.
During the past year or two, probably
5000 negroes have withdrawn from the
front and central parts OF the city and
built themselves practically new settle-
ments on the back prairiee, where there
are no whites, and where they can live after
their own style. This process Is going on
every day.
It is true that there is no distinctive
negro quarter, but there are, as q matter Of
fact, several Of these quarters. The negro
Is gregarious and does not like living by
himself in a white quarter. Probably
not over or 8 per cent. Of the negroes live
in districts where the whites preponderate,
and none in the better white resident quar-
tiers, 1t does not require law to separate
the races In this matter their own inclina-
tions are doing IL.
These Jim Crow laws have been received
by the negroes without much opposition
or protest. Little was said about the Jim
Grow car law requiring them to use sepa-
rate cars in travelling, but the separate
compartment In the street cars aroused
an indignation that has not yet subsidized
and many Of them walk or stand rather
than accept the despised seats rendered
them.
Again, the law prohibiting marriage be-
tween the races called forth little indigna
tion except the section prohibiting the inter.
marriage OF negroes with Chinese or In.
dians, which they deemed an insult and 1t
did not cause half as much protest as the
law against miscegenation, although they
are pronounced in opposition to misoegena-
ton, which the law aims to break up.

MAKES THE ANIMALS HAPPY.
The Home Up In YOnkers Park That Wom.
en- Have Made for the Lost and Sick.

There is near New York city a stretch Of
pasture land in which usually number of
happy dogs are capering, and the land and
other things belong to these same dogs.
There is a barn for them with its comforta-
bic kennels heated by coal fire, quite the
same as folks have, and in the house near by
is friend ready to make pilgrimage to
the kennels with medicine and bandages
day or night. And this is not for some
especially pampered breed Of dogs but for all
rnfortunates of the race.
woman not long ago realized the prac-
tical good that would result from establish
ing home for dogs, cats and broken down
horses She has organized band OF work.
ers to carry out the plan. and the result has
been this home for them, the Bide-a-Wee
Home for Animals at Yonkers Park.
The object of the home is to provide a
place where animals will receive kind treat
ment and care II they are sick-just like q
city hospital for humans. II the case Is
hopeless the animal is chloroformed-
dumped into a gas tank with dozen others
to fight for last breath of life.
There are many people who would keep
a dog or cat instead Of turning in into the
street to be abused and finally caught and
killed, II 1t could be taken care of gratuitous-
ly for while. Any animal taken to, this
animal is placed in a good home and visited
from time " time by an inspector.
Similar bones are doing good work else
where in this country and abroad. The
Animal Rescue League o. Boston cares for
more than 1000 dogs and cats each mont h.,
placing them in homes where they remain
under the supervision Of the League.
Some OF the women who run this home
have been asked why they don't direct
their attention to human sufferers instead
Of to dumb creatures. One OF the reasons,
they say, is that there are 134 institutions in
this city for the relief Of human beings. and
there was only one (two now) for the benefit
of animals.
The home seems to be welcome charity,
for 1t IL finding many sympathizers; and
since IL has become known that II needs and
appreciates gifts to help It's work along. 1t
has been receiving many-some in memory
of lost animal friends. The secretary. at
1ls West Fifty-third street, also receives
daily many letters Of inquiry about 1t. -.-
