BENEFIT OF SKATERS
FISH PONDS TO BE FLOODED IN
TIME FOR NEXT FREEZE.
Safe Place for Indulgence in Fascinat-
ing Exercise-Commissio Bow
ers Gives Consent.

Commissioner West OF the District board
recently addressed letter to Mr. George
NJ Bowers, commissioner OF the United
States fish commission, requesting that the
fish ponds north Of the Washington monu-
ment be flooded in order to afford a safe
skating basin in the event Of a further
freeze this winter. The skaters of Wash
ington have had no really safe places to
enjoy the sport heretofore. They have ven
tured upon the tidal basin where the ice Is
constantly cracked from the rise and fan
Of the tide. and only short time ago three
persons lost their lives In accident at
that place.
The fish ponds in the monument grounds
have quite an extended area. When flooded
they are about three feet in depth. They
are not affected by the tide. and when ice
Is made few inches in thickness will make
an excellent skating surface. Mr.. Vests
effort to secure the use of the ponds has
been successful. Heretofore the privilege
has been denied on the ground that the
skaters were careless and damaged the
fences and property of the commission in
the vicinity. Mr.. West promised that the
police would see to a correction of any evil
on this score.
Gives Consent.
Commissioner West today received the
following letter from Mr.. Bowers on the
subject:
Your request that the commission flood
the fish ponds north of the monument so as
to provide ice for use of persons desiring to
skate is acknowledged and Is cheerfulIy
granted with the understanding that you
will detail enough officers to patrol the
grounds to prevent damage to property, and
will also, where necessary, provide bar
riers to keep the crowd from trespassing
over too great an extent Of property. Be-
fore the privileges thus obtained are open
to the public, it is suggested that you make
an appointment with the assistant in charge
of the division of fish culture to meet you
or your representative at the fish ponds and
arrange some of the details necessary in
order to safeguard the property of the fish
commission and still give to the public the
advantages which you have requested"
Mr.. Vests Reply.
To this communication Mr.. West has re-
piled as follows:
Il desire to express to you my personal
thanks for your prompt and satisfactory re-
ply to my request concerning the use Of
the fish ponds north of the monument for
skaters. and 1 will promptly arrange an
appointment between the major and super
intendent OF police and the assistant in
charge Of the division Of fish culture, In or
der that all the details necessary to safe
guard the property of the fish commission
may be satisfactorily arranged. l am sure
that the advantage to the public which your
kind permission affords will be appreciated
by the entire community"

MANY NEW FEATURES.
Regulations Regarding Registered
Matter in the Rural Free Delivery.

Many new features of Importance to the
rural public are provided in a manual of
instruction which the third assistant post
master general. Mr.. Madden, has issued
for the conduct OF registered business in the
rural free delivery service The most i'm
portant innovation provides for the regis
tration Of letters and parcels left in the
rural mall boxes. the carrier leaving the
sender's receipt In the box. Under the old
practice the sender had to meet the car
rier on the route. Rural carriers are d.
rected to accept for registration all mail
matter properly prepared and offered by
any one that meets them while on duty,
whether patron Of the rural free delivery
service or not.
Storekeepers on rural mail routes receive
the mail matter of their patrons and de-
liver 1t to them at the first opportunity
Registered mail, however has not been de-
livered j.. this manner in the past, but the
new Instructions require that on the written
order left by the addresses with the store
keeper for the delivery Of their mall regis
tered mail also will be delivered, except
such is Endorsed by the senders, deliver
to addressee only"
The draughting of these regulations is
largely the work Of Mr. Louis Kempner.
the superintendent of the registry system Of
the Post Office Department.

One GOOD Scotch STORY.

A Scotch surgeon during the Boer
war was celebrated for the stories
he told One Of them was related to
the men lying near him in hot cor
ner on the vcldt during battle. As
the bullets were whistling among
them the surgeon observed in an easy
way: We'll, it's been beautiful
day, anyway" The men next him
laughed and asked why he made that
remark did you never hear the
story of the two Scotchmen?" the sur
geon answered. They were going
nome very drunk together and the
one said to the other: Weel, DON

Il haven't them here" said Kane
politely, "but can send you copy"
"Oh, you can? Well, you're real kind.

Meanwhile Billy had opened the
door and a moment later Kane found
himself standing outside on the pave

to return and say certain other things
to the sergeant, but he put this aside.
Not that he was ready to give up. His
visit to the dance hall on the opening
night proved that he was nothing of
the sort.
His aim in making this visit was of
course to secure evidence of overt vio-

persons gain admission without diff

and assembled the stairs, which were
not inclosed. A door opened at his

room. Beyond this was a corridor
leading to a large hall where drinks
were being served to an increasing

insist on absolute proof. He, there
