Judge Parker has up to the present
time 17s instructed votes out of $50.
1t is thus perfectly clear that the
loquaciOus judge, as soon as he can
secure a few hundred more votes will
be in commanding position so far as
the democratic nomination'sc concerned.
Indeed it may be conceded that if the
Judge can secure say couple Of
hundred votes, having already 17S,
Mr.. Hill will be in a position to claim
a majority for his New York Sphinx.
OF course in the meantime Judge
Parker might change the condition OF
the face Of the moon at any time by
saying something, but this is not an
anticipated ENHANCEMENT.

Many members Of the American
Medical Association, recently in session
at Atlantic City, are in town to attend
the unveiling Of the statue Of DR..
BENZ. Rush. They are discussing an
unexpected and startling paper read
by Dr. AndeFs Of Philadelphia on the
'Danger Of Strenuous Life" This
does not refer to politics, but to certain
incurable diseases, such as the stifening
and deterioration Of the arteries, rs
the result Of overwork. 1t was stated
that a large number Of athletes are
victims Of these ailments as a result Of
the strenuous life, and that many
young men are as decrepit as men Of
20. The doctors say parents should be
warned against the results Of football,
tests Of strength, and over indulgence

The once famous case of Rebecca
Taylor, who was dismissed from the
War Department because she wrote a
newspaper article rejecting upon the
policy and character Of the President,
has at last been settled. She claimed
that she was unjustly removed, and
asked for a writ Of mandamus
compelling her reinstatement. The
court Of appeals of this district has
now decided that regardless of the
merits Of the case the courts have no
jurisdiction. The right Of appointment
carries with it the right Of removal.
There is no contract. Any clerk may
be dismissed at any time for any cause.
Civil Service simply simply keeps out
the crowd; it doesn't protect a clerk

made.

received, was paid after he leh the

THE WASHINGTON LETTER

The present week has been very
busy one at the White House, and in
the Executive departments. People
who talk with the President come
away impressed with the detailed
information he possesses in regard to
the political situation in the several
states, especially New York, Indiana
and Illinois. The landing of United
States marines at Tangier, ostensibly
to protect a foreign legation, gives
satisfaction. Secy. Hay finds ample
precedent for so doing. He may
further find a precedent for landing
marines to protect American citizens.
1t will be a lame conclusion Of the
whole matter if Mr.. Perdicaris is
allowed to die in captivity. All
matters pertaining to the Chicago
convention are now arranged. The
President will allow neither liquors
nor refreshments TO be sold in the
convention hall. The gentlemen who
are to make nominating speeches have
been chosen. It has been decided to
present Senator Fairbanks name to
the convention for Vice President.
Ex-senator Walcott of Colorado is the
man who will set the ball rolling for
Fairbanks. Mr. Isoda, Commissioner
10 the st. Louis Fair, has called to see
the President. Being asked why
physically the japanese are so small,
Mr.. Isoda said it was the result of
over study. Il is a little remarkable
that there are so few stunted men in
the United States. The President has
appointed Mr.. d. ]. Murphy, once
Commissioner of Pensions, under
Cleveland, to be Secretary to the
Panama Canal Commission. MIR.
Murphy is a Knight Of Columbus, and
was the editor of a Catholic weekly.
Today the President received for the
city statue Of DIR. Benz. Rush Of
Revolutionary fame, which was
unveiled in front Of the old Naval
Observatory Building. The usual
program of music, and speeches was
carried out. DIR. Rush was man
who went about doing good, and who
held the position Of physician in chief
to the American army. For many
years he was a professor in the
University Of Pennsylvania.

Foster, once secretary Of state and
minister to all the barbarian nations
outside of the United States. He still
manages to act as attorney for many
of the philanthropic, benevolent
Christian, missionary and elemosynary
societies in this country. Yesterday
he interviewed Secretary Hay
regarding the claims of American
missionaries against the Turkish
government. Mr.. Foster thinks with
our large feet now in European waters

down to Stamboul and set the Sultan
of Turkey trembling on his throne.

According to Assistant Postmaster Nc
Coy the surplus postal funds received
from fourth class postoffices, those of
which come under the jurisdiction of this

D0LD'S WANT MORE
PACKING CAPACITY
Will Get 1t by Buying Larger
Machinery.
$4,000 IMPROVEMENTS
Increased Demand for Prod
ucts Causes Engagements

The Jacob Dold Packing company has
come TO the conclusion that its Wichita
plant is not large enough and arrange
ments have been made to double its capac-
fty. This will be accomplished by the adj
dition of new machinery.
Manager Fred DoId discovered last sum-
me- that if he undertook 10 run the plant
to its full capacity the cooling machinery
was too small The new Dold plants have
tha finest coolers in the west and they
have a capacity of twenty-five hundred
hogs a day if they were kept properly
cooled This matter was brought before
the company at its last meeting of the
directors It was discussed and the COM
panv having concluded TO kill more hogs
at this place Manager Fred Dold was
given instructions TO buy the largest ice
machine in the west and install it in the
new plant.
1t was for the purpose or making room
for this large machinery that the new
building is now being erected south of the
engine rooms At present the machine
SHOP Is IN part Oh the ehSliiS lOOiu anu
this will be moved out into the new build
ing so as to make room for the big ice
machine It is the talk about the packing
house that the Dold company is going to
spend over forty thousand dollars in i'm
provements.
The present plant of the Dold company
in his city is one of the most up to date
packing houses in the west. Insurance
men are delighted with it from the stand
point Of perfect fire protection and ex-
pert packers who have gone through the
plant say the coolers and killing arrange
ments are simply perfect. Dold started
in to build a good house and when ever
he finds some better machinery than he
now has it is bought al once.
This enlargement of the plant shows
that the Dold company IS satisfied with
its business here and is getting ready to
do more Of it. The products Of the Dold
house are in demand and the enlargement
of its capacity is a necessity in order to
supply their trade.

REGARDED AS UNJUST.
Reports Of Fire Causes Often Erroneous
in Fire Marshal's Opinion.

IA great injustice is done to the electric
lighting company. the District electrical de-
partment, the underwriters and local con-
tractors by the numerous erroneous reports
relative to fires caused by electrical wir-
ing" said Fire Marshal Sidney Bieber, to
a Star reporter today.
whenever conflagra ton occurs and no
other cause for it appears at the moment,
the fire is attributed to defective electrical
wiring" continued Mr. Bieber. 1.-The rec
ords of the department, which are made
up after careful investigation. do not sus-
tain these acknowledgements.
"a recent instance of erroneous report
on the cause of local fire Is noted In the
case Of the conflagration the other day at
1841 and 1913 Kalorama avenue northwest.
which houses were vacant at the time. The
cause of this fire was reported as due to
defective electrical wiring, but investigation
revealed the fact that the current had not
as yet been turned on in the dwellings,.
The IRE marshal stated that there was a
time several years ago when many fres
In the District were caused by electrical
wiring, but that time has passed The
annual reports of the fire marshal show
that In 1900 there were twenty-four nres
caused by electrical wiring: In 1901 the
number was reduced to twenty, and In 1902
only seven fires caused by electrical wiz
ing were recorded. This decrease In the
number Of Ares caused by electrical wiring.
Mr.. Bieber states, is due to the rigid m
