PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
City Pastors Propose Association on
Three-Fold Basis.

At the meeting of the pastors of the
Christian churches of the District of CO.
lumbia, held yesterday afternoon in
Rauscher's. an account of which appeared
in The Star. it was suggested by the chair
man of the committee on arrangements
that a permanent organization be formed
on a three-fold basis-that, first, it be a
rule that a majority vote of the members
shall not pledge the minority to any action
or to the Endorsement of any action; that
as the purpose of the body is to find points
of unity and not of difference, il be a rule
that all controversial subjects be avoided
by action of the chairman: and. lastly, that
no subject be brought up for discussion at
a meeting unless IL has been approved by
a committee appointed for the purpose and
to consist of a pastor from each of the de-
nominations.
While no definite action was taken toward
the formation of a permanent body, the
committee which called the present meet
ing was given the power to call a similar
one when IL shall see fit.
The luncheon was opened with blessing
by Rev. DIR. J. G. Butler. pastor of the
Luther Place Memorial Church. The
meeting which followed. during which the
propositions and suggestions referred to
were introduced, was opened with prayer
by Bishop Satterlee. The speaker OF the
afternoon, Dr. Strong, was introduced by
the chairman. Rev. q. C. Bratenahl.

HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS.
Bill to Regulate Construction on Union
Station Plaza.


Station Plaza.
The height of buildings to be erected
fronting on the union station plaza will
be limited to eighty feet, and all build
ings fronting on the plaza sixty feet or
more in height will be of fireproof con-
struction, if Congress passes the bill
which has been sent to the chairmen OF
the Senate and House District commit
tees by the District Commissioners.
The legislation limiting the height of
buildings about the plaza is proposed as
an amendment to the existing laws regu-
lating the height of buildings in the Dis
trict.
In their letter to the committees of Con-
gress the Commissioners explain that
practically all the owners of property
abutting on the plaza have consented to
the proposed limit in the height of build
ings and are in favor of the proposed
legislation. The stated reason for limit
to sixty feet is to secure, if possible the
erection of fireproof buildings on the
plaza. Under the present law, it Is stated
such building, if intended for business
purposes, could be erected to height Of
seventy-five feet, and it is believed that
If the restriction of sixty feet were put
upon buildings AUDITING the plaza the
owners of land would be more likely to
erect a ffreproof building eighty feet in
height than to limit their buildings to
sixty feet and make them non -fireproof,
and thus a desirable class of buildings
will be erected on the plaza.

PAYMENT OF TEACHERS
CONTROLLER DISAGREES WITH
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Two Questions Submitted by the
Auditor of the District and
the Answer Thereto.

The controller of the treasury has had a
clash with the board of education as to the
pay of teachers and materially disagrees
with the board. Certain teachers were
changed and the changes were announced
to go into effect September %, 1904. Audi
tor Garrison submitted to the controller two
questions:
"(a) Whether the aforenamed teachers
whose appointments took effect on Septem-
Der %, 1904, are entitled to pay only from
and after that date. making an allowance of
five days salary to each for the month Of
September, 1904, or
"(b) Whether the said teachers may be
lawfully allowed salary for the full month
Of September, less the period of seven days
intervening between the 10Th day of Sep
TENDER. when the schools were opened. and
the Goth day of said month"; when the salary
OF each took effect"
The Controllers Opinion.
Replying to these questions the controller
makes answer:
THE teachers who were appointed on
September 26, 1904 were not teachers prior
to the date of their appointment and there
fore they are not entitled to pay as teach
ers for any time prior to that date. Rule
25,, prescribed by the board of education,
tor Of the District, supra, also provides that
Thea salaries of teachers other than those
whose services commence with the school
year shall begin when they enter upon their
duties
Under this rule, and which rule enters
into and becomes a part of the employment
of every teacher in the schools of the Dis
trict the salaries of such teachers who are
not employed at the beginning of the school
year. viz, September 1, shall only commence
at the date they enter upon their duties as
such teachers. The latter clause of the rule
,ceive for the remainder of the month of
September who enters upon duty on the 26th
day of September, at five days for the
month. in other words. $50 of the lilo part
of school teachers annual salary. If the
teachers in question had been employed and
entered upon duty on the LIST day of October,
instead of the Goth day of September, they
could with equal logic claim pay for eight
cen days In September.
I am unable to perceive any equity what
ever in the contention that the salary of
these teachers should commence prior to
their appointments and entry upon duty,
they being presumably engaged in their
other and ordinary vocatons before said
date, but If l did see such an equity, II
could not prevail over the clear and ex-
plicit rule, supra, of their employment. With
this rule in full force 1t is not easily seen
what process of reasoning induced the
board Of education to arrive at the conclu-
sion that these teachers should receive the
full salary for the month of September less
the days they did not teach therein. 1t was
well understood by the board when this rule
was adopted. relative to the pay of teachers
that the schools in the District of Columbia

The Senate today passed the joint reso-
luton authorizing the granting of per-
mts to the committee on inaugural cere
monies on the occasion of the Inaugural
ton of the President-elect on March
next. AS passed by the Senate, this reso-
luton was amended in accordance with
the wishes of the Secretary of the In
terror the Secretary of War and the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia. In
order to satisfy the Secretary of the In
terror he is directed" instead of being
authorized" to grant the use of the PEN

The numerous suggestions of the District
Commissioners are adopted. These and
other amendments making still more spe-
cific the provisions under which the in
augural committee will be obligated to
see that no expense is incurred by the
government in restoring parks, &c, to
their original condition after they have
been used for inaugural purposes.
Among other amendments is one pro-
posed by the Commissioners for an APP
preparation of $4,000, instead of $4,000,
for police protection during the period of
the Inauguration. and also authorizing
the erection of information booths.
This action on the part of the Senate is
generally regarded as finally disposing
of the question as to whether the pension

Horns on baby beeves are bad.
Breed them of or dehorn them whtn
very young. Angus sires will take off
the horns and make quick maturing
steers. To dehorn the baby calf, lay
him gently down on his side when
about week old and wet the budding
horn bump by saturating place
about the size of quarter OF dollar,
then take common powdered concen-
trated I've, as much as two grains of
corn, and spread it over. the wet spot,
and press it in gently with a knife
blade That kills the skin there and
absolutely prevents horn growth. A
scab forms, which should be let alone
and when it comes of the hair grows
over, leaving a beautifully smooth
head.
1t costs moneyEto saw of horns from
calves or yearlings and the check in
their thrift is remarkable and is due to
nervous shock and loss Eof blood The
stopping of horn growth costs not a
penny to calf, a few minutes time, a
little smart soon forgotten.
Warm, open shelter and dry quar-
tiers are necessary. No fussing, nc

tells the whole story.
Beef can be made in this way in
Minnesota for an average cost Of lesl

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.

The writer spent many years IN
Minnesota and the Dakotas in the
grain business, and made a special
study of grain production. We.
were always convinced that short
crops were more the result OF poor
farming and poor seed than climatic
conditions. The manner of farming
has materially changed and at the
present times the quality of seeds
requires more attention that at any
time in the history Of the country.
We recommend that farmers give
this matter attention in their own
way to secure a good quality Of
seed, and thus aid in securing a
better yield of better quality. This
Is simply business proposition
and should not be delayed. The
present seed in many localities is
poor quality. They should dispose
of this by exchanging it FOR some
PLUMB seed and free from smut
germ. The difference in value il
quality was presented forcibl,
this year.
| In every locality some farmer:
have a better quality of seed thar
aothers. Do not let the best saaf
leave the country and then be Oh
liged to use the poorer quality fol
seed. Secure a cleaning mill-you
can purchase one for SIS that vii
thoroughly clean your seed, then
treat your seed with a solution tc
destroy smut germ, that will not
cost to exceed two cents per acre.
and with good, sound, plump seed.
well cleaned and treated, on well
titled ground, and the result is in.
creased production, and of better
quality.
ln securing seed from a distance
if there is 40 desirable seed in your
locality, always secure seed pro
duced North of your locality, it will
for period of at least three years
produce better results. Any eleya-
tor or grain man will tell you how
to treat your seed TO DESTROY smut
germs, and now is the time to-
change seed and have it carefully
prepared and ready. Your land is
becoming more valuable, good pro-
auctions will further increase its
value. You have a reputation to
sustain and you cannot do ii with
out exercising care and using good
seed.

Says the Saltwater Gazette: The
state prison brass band is making
gratifying progress under the di-
rection of Claude Hewitt. On fine
days practice work will be done
in the park. It is the intention
during the summer months to
station the band in the park at
noon to play a march when the
prisoners are marching to and
from work. It is believed that
the band will have a good effect
on the prisoners, cheering them
up to considerable extent. On
holidays it will give concerts, play
ing in the park during good
weather, and in the chapel on
wintry holidays. The prison Or
chestra and choir, the latter under
Mrs. T. A. Whitworth, are also
desirable adjuncts of the prison
and their good effect has been
recognized.

Easter, the chapel will be deco

The yard men are going to have
plenty to do when spring sets in.
Owing to the building and re-
pairs, the yard is Uttered up more
than it has been for years. The
lawns are cut by wagon tracks in
places and new sod will have to
be laid. The park was resodded

elapse before the lawn will regain
it's former velvety appearance.

Says the Minneapolis Journal:
Superintendent Jordan estimates
that there are 600 boys loafng on
the streets of Minneapolis who
ought to be in school. And with
respect to this deplorable state of
things he says ''something must be
DONE" Surely something ought to
be done. There is no more effective
school for crime for boys than
roaming the streets in idleness.
In many cases, doubtless, parents
are unable to control their chill
dren, and wherever it is sho wn
that this is the case these boys
ought to be turned over to the
training school, where they can
not only be protected from the
dangers to which they are now
exposed, but taught useful occu-
pations and the lesson of obedi-
ence to authority.

One ought to balance the good
with the bad and also the length

true estimate of his character.
Polybius, the Greek historian, has
an observation to the same effect.

we should not sometimes blame
and sometimes commend the same
person, for, as none is always right,
neither is it probable that he
should be always wrong."-Ex.
