ings on account of the building ortIi- nance, the advance in the price of ma- terial and the upward tendency of taxes, what show is there for poor man? He has to pay higher rent, the butcher wants q few cents more, and so on with everything that enters in ones living expenses, and while the price of these things are on tile in- crease right along wages are not ad- vancing a peg. If this condition of af fairs continues. what is the country going to come to? The workingman- but the workingman is not in 1t to-day. He's dead and gone long ago"
 William O'Connor said that MT Holo- han owns the tail of mountain in that street and that he didn't want to be assessed anything for cutting it off and making street out of it. He said that MT Holohan is 3 man worth $3O0,- 900 or $400000 and could afford to pay handsomely for the street.
 A. B. Blackman thought the new street. would be convenient for folks who want to skip along Howard street to the center to spend their money. That's so,' chimed in Mir Cairns, "and it may come in handy, too, in case you should want to do some shopping in Wolcott"
 This, with the East Main street mat ter, went along to the aldermen with a recommendation that the work be ordered done.
 The contracts for grading Highland avenue, Buckingham street and other thoroughfares were awarded to Pas quale Contaldi His figures for con tract A. on which he was the only bid der, were $3,05990. and on contract B, $7,720. The other bids on the last con- tract were Edward McManus, $o,SSO, and Sutton & Spinach, $10,190.
 These contract will give Mir Contaldi all he can swing to for the present sea- son, and it was a question with the board whether he could do all that work or not, but as he was the lowest bidder they had no alternative.

DEED FOR NEW FIRE
 HOUSE LOT READY

The board of public safety held a special meeting last evening to dis pose uf business uncompleted at the last regular meeting. Mayor Elton presided. The deed to the property recently purchased by the city for an engine house. in the northwestern ss . ton of the city will be passed over to the city to-day. The price paid for tbe land Is S2,a90. The engine house will be built on North Willow street. The vicinity of the property is not very we'll built up so far, but it is so situ- ated that 1t Is thought it will not be very long before it will be one of tie most popular parts of the city for resi- dentiul purposes. As funds foc build ing the house and furnishing it have been provided 1t Is expected that no time will be lost in establishing fi"e protection in that part of the city. For years it has been asked and petitioned for ard not very long ago some of the property owners were talking of or ganizing a volunteer company. Had the last administration given any en- couragement to that idea those who were interested in it would be as far off to day as they were then from n fully equiped and modern engine house. The house will be as near as possible reproduction of the newest engine house in the city, the one built on Washington avenue.
 Besides the above the only other matter of business transacted by the board concerned the police depart ment. An order was issued that be- tween June and September 15 the police shall wear white gloves, blouses and gray helmets.

few days ago while circulating his petition
and told him had heard that he was cir
eUlating petition for the postmas tership
here. He said he was. / told him thought
he had great deal of 'cheek'-he a demo-
crat asking republican administration to
appoint him as postmaster He said that
the only reason why he is a candidate IS
because the present postmaster is not a
candidate for reappointment, and that he
had voted for the republican President. i
told him that he did not. because we dis
tributed the republican tickets and knew
every white man in the town who voted 1t.
and as the democrats had no republican
tickets. and not receiving any from our
men. he could not have voted 1T: that at
the counting of the votes the ballots count,
ed for the republican ticket Tailed with the
list kept by us. l further told him that If
he did vote for the ticket having voted for
democratic senator and representative. he
simply tied the President hand and foot.
1t was like binding a man securely and
throwing him in the brier patch; that the
President and his supporters do not thank
any one to vote for a democratic Congress
and then for policy's sake vote for a repub-
lican President. The postmasters term a

signed by Mr. Samuel Green. republican
county chairman: j. l. Washington, secre-
tary county committee: Robert Smalls, vice
chairman state executive committee. and
large number of other leading and infiu-

the democrats or large number of them,
have stated that they would not have sign

sured them that Mrs. Bampfield was not a
candidate. and that they would write pri-
vate letters II necessary"
1 want to state for the benefit OF your
many readers that the contents of the
above letter are true in every particular
and very easy of proof. Mr.. Kingdom is
not republican and is not likely to be-

ministration may make him one.

TO EXTERMINATE TRAMPS.
BY Union of Charity Organizations
and Railroads
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Several different forces. commercial. char
liable and municipal. have combined to
wage a war OF determination against
tramps. To that end a conference was re-
Gently held in Philadelphia. Representa-
tives of the United Charity Organization
Societies and of the great railroads OF the
country met there and outlined a plan of
campaign which should rid the country of
the long standing reproach of mendicancy
and trampdom. II is to be at once cam
paign of conquest and of benevolent assim-
ilation. Where the tramp declines to be
benevolently assimilated into decent self
respecting society he Is going to be elimi-
mated, either by imprisonment. or by star
walton. by rounding him up. or by making
things unpleasant for him by cutting
him off from his base OF supplies and inter
fering with his transportation facilities,
that he viii be forced to see the error of
his ways and forsake them.
SO the knell of the tramp is sounding
Man tramps. women tramps. girl tramps
and boy tramps, are to go. never to return

the organized charity associations, are go
ing to close the lines of communication
TrampS will not be able to move about
They will be kept under the eye and con-
troll of the charity organization societies
and the police in the big cities. AS they
drift in from the smaller towns and the
road, where they have been begging and
piifering. insulting and frightening women
and children, and committing all sorts of
small crimes and depredations. they will be
gathered up by the police and their cases
viii be disposed of by the police and the
charity organization societies working to-
gether.
There is to be in all the big cities spe-
ciai force of police to look after them-a
mendicancy police, working in cooperation
with the local organized charity association
And between the big cities there is to be
another special force of police to look after
them-the railroads are seeing to that. They
are going TO keep him off their lines alto
gether. They are driven to 1t in self-de-
Tense. For years tramps have been derail-
ing cars, tampering with switches. burning
bridges, robbng and killing lonely tower

way places. Tramps to be kept in the
cities. They will not travel to any extent
along country roads. That means walking
and walking is hard work.

The men who founded the association
thought close organize ton of Steamboat
men would be to the best interests of not
only the members of the orga MIA ton, but
70 TIE owners as well and the success of
the association has heen largely due to
the fact that there has been but little de-
parture from the objects laid down by the
organizers. The objects of the association
as stated in its yearbook. are the better
education of its members i'm the line of
professional work. the elevation of the
character and standing of its members
protection to life and property. a careful
adherence to the rules of naviga ton and a
strict obedience to the laws laid down for
the government of pilots

membership of but 400; today il has over
1000 members, and has subordinate harbors

LAKES OF NAPHTHA.
Eastern Asia Has Boundless Reser-
voirs of the Mineral Fuel

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The chief source of the worlds supply of
naphtha promises to be shifted to the east
ern part of Asia which has been found TO
be one OF the richest mineral fuel regions
In the world, according to recent consular
report The area of all the paying coal
layers in Europe comprises only %, $50
square miles. an area equal to that of ore
of the Russian provinces-the KaZan prov
ince. The area of coal layers in eastern
Asia, though not yet estimated. is consider
ed incalculable.
Besides immense coal beds eastern Asia
possesses wealthy underground naphtha
lakes that will soon be the foundation of
great industry. Naphtha springs are found
everywhere in China, in Manchuria. in the
Usseri district in Japan and on the Sakha
lin Island. The latter island not only pos
sesses very rich coal mines, but also large
naphtha lakes
The chemical engineer, K. S. Platonoff.
after having examined the coal beds and
naphtha wells in Texas and Pennsylvania,
made an investigation of the naphtha
springs on Sakhalin Island, and on his re-
turn to Baku declared that all he had seen
in the United States was nothing in COM
pariSon to what he found on Sakhalin.
The naphtha springs near the River Moo
tovo, on Sakhalin, excel those of Baku in
every regard. Seven underground naphtha
lakes are Il6fe, the AREA UI the tdf SeSt one
being 1900 square meters (75.320 square
YARDS.
Notwithstanding the increased output of
the Japanese naphtha industry, Japan must
still import foreign naphtha. In 1900 she
imported more than 60G00000 gallons and
in 1901 more than 81 ,0o00 gallons. The
export from Japan is inconsiderable, so
that the Japanese naphthas does not threat
en- to become a rival to Sakhalin naphtha.
On the contrary, Japan promises to become
a good market for the Sakhalin naphtha.
The development of the oil industry on
Sakhalin Island will help the river naviga-
ton on the Amur and in the far east gem
orally.
The ministry of agriculture and imperial
properties has ordered that the thirty-three-
mile line along the southeastern coast of
Lake Baikal be acknowledged as actual
naphtha producing land. 1t extends from
Kultchuoy to the mouth of River Chermu-
shan GA degrees north latitude) to the north
from Svyatoy Moss.
A party of five Englishmen arrived re-
Gently on Sakhalin to examine the coal oil
regions lately discovered on the eastern
coast of the island. Among the party there
Is one geologist and one engineer.

TREATMENT OF TYPHOID.
Boston Loath to Adopt the Hot Water
Theory.
from the Boston Advertiser.

rum tie BOSTON Advertiser.
No Boston hospital has vet sufficient
confidence in the hot water treatment for
the cure of typhoid fever to Introduce il
here. The practice for years has been
directly opposite in the almost exclusive
use of ice cold water. Medical men
like those in business. tenacious to old
ways. and any new method must be thor
oughiy approved outside before il is accent
ed. 1t is not understood. here. lust what
the hot water treatment has to recommend
1t to physicians and hospitals In typhoid
fever the temperature is very high and
the first idea is to reduce the temperature
Cold water is administered to this end and
as this does decrease the heat of the body
it is only natural to suppose that hot wa
ter would increase il. At the most critical
stage of the disease, the change of frac-
ton or degree in temperature might Of
ten be fatal
The only place where the hot water treat
ment has been used with successful re-
suits. 50 far as Is known. is in Baltimore.
There one particular case is cited where a
child five years old was placed on water
pillows and her body submerged in water
which was kept at temperature OF 101 de-
grees. In a five days treatment the child's
temperature had fallen from 100 to lob de-
grees. and In three weeks the patient was
pronounced cured Before the application
OF hot water, cold water had been tried
without any perceptibie Improvement in
the patients condition. Boston's physicians
do not condemn the hot water treatment;
they simply refuse to adopt 1t until Its
ef1cfency has been demonstrated in many
cases.

The Beaufort, S. c., Postmastership.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In reply to the statement which appeared
in your issue of the 14th instant under the
head of "At the White House." relative to
a democratic movement in favor of j. b.
Kingdom as postmaster at Beaufort, beg
to state that Mr.. Kingdom. who is can
didate for the postmastership here, is not
republican as stated by your reporter.
Does it not appear strange that a republic
cal would be ignorant of the fact that
there is a republican organization in the
county and state, as well as a national
committeeman from either of which he
should get an Endorsement for so important
an appointment? And if he knew of them.
or either of them, is it not equally strange
that he would ignore all of them, and he, a
republican, forward his application and
petition to a democratic congressman to
be presented to republican President? Mr..
Klnghorn is a member of the democratic
club of Beaufort Do republicans join DEM
ocratic clubs. advocate democratic prin-
cples and vote democratic tickets at DEM
ocratic primaries and at general elections?
II Mr.. Kingdom is a republican. then every
white man in the state of South Carolina
is a republican, for his political affiliations
arc identically the same as all other dem
ocrats In the state.

ton. FIe promptly informed me that he

For an Alaskan Exhibit.

Representative Tawney, chairman of the
House committee on industrial arts and ex
positions talked with the President this
morning about the Alaskan exhibit at the
Louisiana purchase exposition. The Presf-
dent is in favor of making the exhibit

ranged Representative Tawney also talked
with the President about an assistant coma

mended that the President appoint Mr.. Will

ment and the matter is hanging fire. Gov
ernor Brady Bof Alaska Is the executive
commissioner IN charge of the exhibit, but
his duties in the territory are so great that
he cannot take charge of the exhibit and

state that the people of the territory have

Mr.. Tawney said that his committee will
