ANNUAL HOLIDAYS
DECEMBER 20 AND JANUARY TO
BE OBSERVED.

Owing to the fact that Christmas this
year comes on Sunday, there has been some
doubt in the minds of government employees
and employees of the local municipality as
to just what would be done with the Gus
tomary holiday for Christmas. While the
question has not been definitely settled by
the heads of departments. 1t is understood
that. In accordance with a section Of the
District code, the day following Sunday will
be made holiday for the employees OF both
the general and local governments. 1t Is
more than likely that this matter will be
taken UP by President Roosevelt at the cab
met meeting tomorrow. and that some def
mite conclusion will be reached whereby
both the Monday succeeding Christmas and
the Monday succeeding New Year day will
be observed as holidays.
Section 1880 of the code, among other
things provides:
Whenever any day set apart as a legal
holiday shall fall on Sunday, then and in
such case the next succeeding day shall be
a holiday"
The Supreme Court Of the District of Co.
1umbia and all departments of the city hall
building will not transact business next
Monday.
The Commissioners today, upon motion
of Commissioner Macfarland, passed an Or
der authorizing the heads OF the various
departments of the District government 10
dismiss the employees under them at noon
Saturday, the oath, and also at noon Satur-
day, the 31st, so as to give the employees
the usual half day off preceding the Christ
mas and New Year holidays The District
offices will be closed next Monday and the
Monday following, while the two holidays
are being celebrated by the clerks In the
District service.
In accordance with the annual custom
Sealer Of Weights and Measures Haskell
has recommended to the Commissioners
that the Eastern Western and Georgetown
markets be closed Monday, Christmas day,
and Commissioner Mcfarland has ap-
proved the recommendation.

FOUR LOST THEIR LIVES.
Others Severely Burned in Fire on
Standard Oil Barge.

NEW YORK. December 19.-By an ex-
plosion and the burning of 10000 gal
Ions of petroleum on Standard Oil Com
pany's barge at sea Off Long Branch. N
J.. Sunday afternoon. four men were
burned to DEATH The dead are:
Capt. G. 5Rl Stokes.
A. Sale, engineer.
AL Brandt, fireman.
Unknown sailor
Four survivors Of the crew of the burned
barge were brought to this port and are
in a hospital suffering from burns.
When the blazing barge was sighted
last night 1t was impossible to learn any
thing regarding the fate of the crew.
Tugs which were near at hand gave all
the assistance possible, and no effort was
made to reach. the barge by the life-sav-
ing crew at that point. The first news.
therefore, came here today when the tug
boat put into Long Island City with the four
survivors on board.
The cause of the fire on the barge has
not been explained. None of the survivors
was in any condition to talk aoday. but
it was learned that there was an explo-
sion. and burning oil was thrown over the
vessel The men were knocked uncon-
scious by the conclusion, and burning oil
set FIRE to their clothes. The barge had on
board 81 900 barrels, or 1000, 200 gallons.

A DOODLE CAUSE.

The Baltimore Erening Herald
voices public sentiment in the
following editorial which APP
peared in it's columns Thursday
of last week +:
SIN Hon. Thomas A. Smith
the Democrats and other voters
of the First Congressional dis
trict have a candidate who is
worthy of their enthusiastic
support.
"There is one great question
in the district this year. 1t is
the largest, most horrible and
most Infamous proposition in
American politics today.-brib-
cry. The Republican candidate
has no record of craftsmanship
or public service on which to
ask a reelection. His whole
cause depends upon Doodle.
The wrong he has done to the
Eastern Shore in his previous
campaigns could not be atone d
for in a life of penitence. There
is nothing concealed in his can
didacy. He was nominated be-
cause of his money. He will
expect to win by the use of his
money.
against this corruption the
Eastern Shore should rise with
all its unbought manhood, ire
spective of politics, and deal a
death blow to corruption. 1t
can do this by electing Colonel
Smith"

w. D. Wrighter. president Of the
Rustler Mining & Milling company.
and N. e. Jenkins, deputy mineral
surveyor of Montana and Idaho, are
in the city. stopping at the Victoria

Wrighter reports a brilliant outlook
for the Rustler Mining company.
which has three patent claims on Lib
~ creek. in addition to six placer
,7laims adjacent OF the three claims
two are practically untouched, while
e other has produced from $4,000
o $4,000 per year since 1866. At
present the Rustler Mining company
S proved to be the heaviest pro-
.ucer of ore, which is similar to that
, Of the Occur d'Alenes. except that
great quantities of gold are also
found in the states of Washington,
Idaho and Montana. The ore Is of a
very peculiar formation called the
anti-clinical contact and the vein,
which is perpendicular. has been fol-
lowed by Mr.. Jenkins from the Silver
Butte mine to Kootenay Falls, dis
lance of 20 miles. Mr.. Jenkins reports
that important shoots are seen all
along this distance, and very rich
ledge matter cropping out at all the
stream crossings.
This season rs carloads of ore have
been taken from the one claim, which
means an average of 80 tons of con
centrates to the car. with a value OF
from $50 to $75 per ton. while on the
dump there are 500 tons of concen
