CAMP GOOD WILL.
Improvement In the Facilities for
Caring for Parties.

Improvement IN the Edc1ut1eS 1oT
Caring for Parties.
Camp Good Will is situated on a hill. 1t
is higher than Brightwood and higher than
most parts Of Rock Creek Park, but that
Is no reason why people who have driven
six miles to see the camp should hesitate
at the last lap of the journey when they
are within one-eighth of a mile of their
destination. The last eighth is a hard pull
but the road is 100 per cent better than
before the ''chain gang spent its labors
upon 1t. Think less about the hill and
more about the outlook which the hill af-
fords. Those in charge of the camp are
glad to see you and to show you the many
wonders: and the children are encouraged
whenever they can see and talk with
strangers-although few remain strangers
to them for many minutes.
Every week shows Improvement in the
facility with which parties are taken care
of. At first the women and girls slept in
the remodeled barn and the boys in a shed.
But now with seven tents all the women
and girls are taken care of much better
and the call is for an equally pleasant ar
rangement for the boys. Camp Good VIII
is conducted by the summer outings COM
mittee; 1t has no connection with the COM
mfttee on public Fairgrounds, but never
theless before many weeks have passed
away 1t is expected that there will be a
playground surrounding the camp which
will compete in a very modest way with
the model playground at. North Capitol and
l. streets.
1t has been found that to take care OF
sixty boys and girls requires not only food
and sleeping arrangements, but opportunity
and apparatus for play. Some pieces of APP
paratus have been purchased some have
been donated, but everything in this line
which can be sent to the committee in
charge at the general office of the Assocfat-
ed Charities. 81 G street northwest, would
be used and appreciated by the children.

graver in the Treasury Department here

stead of sending his customers bank notes,
however, he returned promissory notes to
them. thus, 1t Is charged. obtaining other
peoples money frauduently.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the Post Office Department by a COM
plant from the postmaster at Buffalo, N.
Y. and the case was referred to the local
division chief whose territory includes West
Virginia also. Inspector Allen was as
signed to the case and the work OF trap
ping the postmaster-green goods man has
gone on ever since Titchenel was placed

PRESIDENT SHOWS CLEMENCY.
Favorable Action on Four Applications
for Pardon.

President Roosevelt has acted favorably
on four applications for pardon presented
to him and unfavorably upon six. denying
them. He has granted a pardon to Edward
Mcdonald, who was convicted some time
ago in Baltimore Of counterfeiting and sem
tence suspended. Mcdonald some years ago
passed few counterfeit coins. He was
arrested In Columbus, Ohio, and pleaded
guilty, serving three years in prison. The
offense In Baltimore was the same one he
had been punished for. The President has
committed to Imprisonment for three years
the sentence of George A. Gleason. con-
victed In the Indian territory of horse steal
ing and sentenced to five years in prison.
Ihe sentence Is regarded as excessive.
On the recommendation of the Secretary
OF war the President pardoned William r.
Peters and Harry Worthy, two soldiers who
deserted from the army. They have been
punished and the pardon was to restore
their civil rights.

FRENCH sARDINES.
Often They Are So Only in the Way
Thew Are Packed and Preserved.

They Are Packed and Preserved.
Those favoring sardines as an appetizer
for the midday luncheon doubtless are not
aware of the imposition to which they are
said to be subject by shippers from French
ports.
John K. Gowdy, United States consul
general at Paris, says:
Attention has been called to the fact
that, although the product Of the French
sardine fisheries has fallen off considerably
in the past few years, the expectation OF
sardines from France has not diminished,
and 1t is noticed that the quantity OF sar-
dimes imported into France is almost dou-
BILE the quantity consumed there. During
the last eleven months the importations
into France reached 1O,337 $40 pounds, while
the annual consumption is estimated at g.
Oil 500 pounds.
"The French sardine is excellent, both
fresh and preserved II ranks nigh Wheh
preserved on account of the careful prepa-
ration 1t undergoes in this country and the
quality of the oil used. The cost price to
the factory Of the usual size box OF French
sardines (weighing about OIL pound Is
about IL cents, while the cost of the same
size box of Spanish or Portuguese sardines
in France, freight and duty paid. is only
about cents
"Sardines are imported into france IN
two different waysi
TN boxes of the usual size, with de-
ceiyine mark or label. On the top Of the
box. in this instance, the words 'Sardines
Franchises are carefully covered by a
thin coating of paint which Is easily re-
moved. Only the initials e. D. and the
words 'Qualite Choix' are apparent when
the box passes the French customs, but it
becomes e. D. Sardines Franchises. Quail
lite Choix' after entry; the address 'Usine
a Port Louis, France on the side under
goes the same transformation. The boxes
are, of course, stamped on the bottom
.Produit Importe,' but this indication Of
foreign origin is too vague to be of much
value. Another method Of deceiving Is
to print the name of the place Of origin
in very small letters or to hide 1t in a
figure printed on the label, which is in
French.
"Sardines are imported in large boxes
and repacked in the usual size boxes.
with labels and other indications I'M
French.
All labels on the boxes such as Fir
min Julien, Setubal, PORTUGAL with the
origin in very small letters; 'Societe Pa
risienne," with the words 'Prodit I'M
porte 'Poissons Choisis' in French,
Packed in Spain in English, and I'm
porte in French, stamped on the tin, and
many others, are intended to present the
goods as French sardines to the majority
of consumers both at home and abroad"
