COMMITTEE MEETING.
Plans for Continental Hall Considered
by D. A. b.

The regular monthly meeting Of the con-
tinental hall committee Of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution was held this
morning at the headquarters Of the organ
ization in the Washington Loan and Trust
building. A subcommittee reported that so
far about 100 architects have submitted
plans for the proposed continental hail.
Among the competitors are large number
of the best-known architects Of the country.
The session was mainly devoted to the dis
oussion of the approaching congress OF the
organisation, to be held at the Ebbitt House
the sd proximo. The program OF exercises
for the congress has been completed and is
in the hands of the printer.
The District branch Of the organization
held a meeting last evening for the purpose
Of making arrangements for the annual
Washington wedding tea, which will be held
soon in tho rooms Of the Washington Club.

of the gun and the opening and closing Of
the breech block is performed to the rear
of the man firing It. and. therefore. out Of
his sight, and certain interloclng arrange
ments in the firing apparatus are SO devised
as to prevent HIM from firing the gun I'M
less the breech block Is fully closed. Ad-
miral Lord Cellingwood, who was second in
command to Nelson at the battle, of Trafal-
gar. was in the naolt OF telling his men
broadsides in two minutes they were certain
of victory. Their guns weighed about 2, 400
pounds. The modern six-inch breech-load-
ing gun. whdch weighs 1900 or $4,000
pounds. has been fred eight times within a
minute at q target about Loo yards dis
IN Lord Collingwo0d's mind, and struck the
target each shot. The difference here shown
is due principally to the mounting. It is
due in some degree, to the fact that the
modern gun Is breeoh-loading. but, the
quicker rate of fire must be ascribed in
large measure to the excellence Of the
mounting.

Of the Firth Of Forth at that, can you
come across village people testing their
strength and skill with the caber. What a
caber is and how it is tossed few other than
Scotchmen could say, and the history Of the
sport none knows, except that it is as old
as the hills. A caber, then, may be de-
scribed as the stem Of young fir OF larch
tree, or other log Of wood which, when
trimmed of it's branches, is shapely and
straight. Of weight about one hundred
weight, in length some fifteen feet. The
art of tossing 1t consists. briefly, in throw
ing 1t from you, after you have raised it
from the ground and have held it balanced
with its lighter END on your two hands, in
such a way that when the heavy end strikes
the earth the light end falls away from you
and the caber finally lies on the ground at
right angles to the line over which the toss
is made. Caber tossing is really feat Of
strength and skill, rather than a sport, for
there are no marks to be scored, no records
to be broken, as in most games.

Of the year nearly all fruits and vegetables
are received and sold on commission and in
their original packages.
I'm the winter months, when there are old
potatoes, they are shipped in bags or car
loads, and all such potatoes are sold by
weight, sixty pounds to the bushel. While
it does not appear from our investigation
that the wholesale dealers are complying
with the very letter OF the law, as stated
hereinbefore there does not appear to be
the slightest effort or intention on their
part to deceive the purchaser. be he huck-
ster, grocer or private citizen. Take for
instance one barrel which was selected be-
cause 1t looked smaller than the others.
Put on the scale 1t weighed 100 pounds. Al
lowing 10 or IS pounds for the weight Of
the barrel the purchaser would be receiving
several pounds more than he was really
entitled to had he bought by the bushel.
1t is not our intention or disposition to i'm
pose any hardship upon the hucksters. but
simply to educate them in the proper use
of their scales and measures, where neces-
sary, so they may be fair and honest in
their dealings with customers"

DECLINES TO INTERFERE.
Board Of Education Refuses to Con.
slider High School Controversy.

The board of education at it's regular
meeting at the Franklin building last even
ing, declined to be drawn into the contro-
versy regarding the eligibility of Pitcher
c. c.. Beckett of the base ball team Of the
Business High School, The matter was
presented to the consideration Of the board
by a committee from the Business High
School, on an appeal from the decision of
the High School athletic advisory board de-
claring Beckett ineligible for membership
on the base ball team. The advisory board
is composed of representative teacher
from each of the High Schools, and usu-
ally determines all questions Of dispute.
Its decision against Beckett was based on
the belief that he had violated the spirit
IL not the letter, Of the High School regu-
lations designed to prevent student from
entering the High School primarily for the
purpose of engaging in athletic sports. On
the other hand it is commended that Beckett
has fully complied with all the essential
requirements and is entitled to play on the
Business High School team.
Tine board of education held that the
question was not a proper one for it's de-
termination, and therefore laid it aside
with the suggestion that the parties in
interest make an effort to have the athletic
advisory board reconsider its action with
a view to amicable settlement of the
controversy.
AT last nights meeting the board author
lied the collection of flowers from school
children at the public schools for the dec

Large Run of Herring.

The river from Alexandra to the Great
Falls is reported to be alive with herring,
and hundreds of them can be seen swim
ming only a few feet below the surface of
the river. Boys were having fine sport this
morning snagging the fish. With a pole
and short line on which were two or three
large hooks, the lads would whip the water
and at every draw would snag one or two
fish. Several Of the fishermen landed a
hundred or more fish in two or three hours
fishing from the wall of the Potomac
Park near the Long bridge.
