BUREAU OF MANUFACTURES.
Preparations to Install It in the Census
Building.

The development of the manufacturing
statistics of the country is the object of
the alterations now undergoing in the CEN
sus bureau building, Secretary Metcalf of
the Department of Commerce and Labor
being responsible, in accordance with the
act of Congress, for the change there.
The first floor, formerly occupied by the
divisions of manufactures and population,
will be transformed into a section where
the work intended in the legislation may
be performed with accuracy and dispatch
AS a beginning there have been selected
for immediate appointment In the new pu-
reau a number of clerks whose work has
shown them fitted for the coming task.
They are: From the bureau of insular af-
fairs, War Department. Robert H. Ben
nett of Indiana, at 81, 400 per annum; from
the census bureau. William F. Matteson OF
Michigan. at $1,000 per annum; from the
bureau of insular affairs, James u. Mac
MILAN of PENNSYLVANIA, at $1,000 per an
mum. and from the Congressional Library,
w. stephen Fuller Of the District OF Co.
lumbia, at $720 per annum.
No appropriation was made at the recent
Congress for this new departure in the
Department of Commerce and Labor and
the chief of the bureau will hereafter act
as both chief of that division and chief
clerk until permanent official can be APP
pointed for one or the other OF the places
1t is the hope of the new bureau that II
may assist in fostering the great manufac-
turing industries of the country, or which
there are about 100000 and whose survival
and progress are essential to- the great
ness of the nation. The government wish
es to get into contact with these enter
prises, and it has been felt that the erea-
ton of an entirely new bureau would
achieve this result.

BOND FORFEITED.
Mrs. Dickinson Fails to Asnwer to
Charge of False Pretenses.

When the case of Mrs. Earle Dickinson,
accused of procuring SIS from Charles E.
Tribby by means of false pretenses, was
called for trial today in Criminal Court No
1, the defendant failed to respond and her
bond in the sum of $500 was thereupon de-
clared to be forfeited.
The defendant was tried several weeks
ago in Criminal Court No. under an in
dctment for embezzling funds from dye
ing and cleaning company, with offices in
the Colorado building. She was in the en-
ploy of the company at the time and claim
ed that she had been attacked and chloro-
formed, and that the money was stolen
when she was under the effects of the an
esthetic. The jury in that case rendered
verdict of not guilty. Soon after the trial
Mrs. Dickinson was again arrested, the
charge being that she secured from Mr..
Tribby SIS, giving as security for the loan
a plano, asserting that the instrument be-
lorged to her. The allegation is that the
instrument was not her property and that
as stated, the money was procured by false
pretenSeS.

in Franklin's brigade, Heintzelman's divi-
sion, and sustained loss of forty-two kill

The regiment, the senior 'three-year' or
ganzation of the army of 1S61-65, occupied
the most advanced position on the field, the
southerners opening on 1t at pistol-shot
range. The enemy was repulsed however,
with severe loss, and retired, the regiment
holding it's position. Subsequently it was
forced to fall back, which it did in good
order, by fanking movement on the right,
and later marched off the field under the
orders of it's commanding officer

Glasscock of Morgantown to be collector
of internal revenue for West Virginia, TO
fill vacancy that has existed long time.

can state committee of West Virginia, and

ment was brought about by the REFUSAL or
Elliott Northcott state chairman OF the
West Virginia republican organization, to

promised Mr.. Glasscock his support for

cept the position in the face of that fact,

BATHING BEACH RULES
REGULATIONS ISSUED By DIS
TRICr COMMISSIONERS.

Rules governing the public bathing beach
and prescribing the privileges to be en-
joyed by bathers at that place during the
ensuing summer were issued today by the
committee which has this matter in charge.
The rules were submitted to Commissioner
West and have been approved by that off,
Ger. It Is provided that the general public,
or such portion thereof as may care to
avail themselves Of free bathing, may VEN
ture into the water between the hours OF
10 am. and 1 pm. and from pm until
the sun shall sink behind the western hori-
ION. The rules doesn't state it in just this
manner, but that is their purport. No pro-
vision is made for moonlight bathing and If
this is INDUCED in it will be in violation
of the law, and the viOlator may find free
bathing rather expensive.
Ladies and their escorts" may submerge
themselves in the unbriny deep of the
bathing beach from Z am. until 10 am.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The
rules do not specify whether these es-
corts" shall be male or female, but they
do prescribe various and sundry require
ments for all bathers, of whatever color.
creed or previous condition of servitude.
Each bather must register by filling out
and depositing an identification card which
will show his or her name, age, sex, color
and a few other things that the bathing
committee must know. 1t has been sug-
gested that the age specification may serve
to keep away from the beach many ladleS
who otherwise might take advantage of
the bathing privileges. However, the rules
have been approved and If the ladies are
afraid to give their ages they may con-
clude to stay away.
Prescribing Suitable Suits.
There are more rules about suitable
suits for bathers, and it is ordered that
hathers bringing their own suitable
suits will not be charged anything for
the privilege of undressing and dressing,
provided this dressing and undressing be
done exclusively in the dressing rooms.
Grown-up persons who appear at the
beach without suitable suits" will be
furnished with two-piece garments by
the bathing beach authorities at the NOM
inal rate of 10 cents, and a towel will be
thrown in, in case the bather cares to dry
off the water after the bath. Boys may
hire suits and towel for 10 cents, and
although the rules make no mention of
the girls it is probable this rate includes
them, too. Persons owning suits may
leave them al the beach, where they will
be cared for and kept, the owner paying
only ) cents for it's use whenever he
wants it. Persons with fastidious and
exclusive tastes and plenty of ready cash
may obtain the use of a private dressing
room for an hour and a half for 20 cents
There are other rules for the govern
ment of the beach, but they apply only
to the employees

his way" Well, he will hardly do 1t. That
he is an honest man is beyond all doubt.
That he prefers clean politics he has given
ample evidence. But as a presidential as
pirant he has his limitations. He will not
turn crusader on a national scale in ad-
vance of the next democratic national con-
vention, we may all be sure. He will not
scrutinize the credentials of any delegates
who may present themselves on that occa-
sion instructed for Joseph w. Folk.
The Post is no admirer of Mr.. Bryan, but
it must remember him and his methods.
He. too, is personally an honest man, and
prefers clean politics. But as presidential
candidate he has kept some queer company.
He gave his support to Mr.. Goebel and all
for which Mr.. Goebel stood, and visited
Kentucky to emphasize his approval OF the
tactics which all but threw that state into
civil war. In return for that he had the
support of the Kentucky delegation at the
Kansas City convention in his fight for the
reaff1rmation of the silver plank of the Chi
cago platform. and stood in absolute need of
where he had majority of only one.
Mr.. Folk will probably steer cautions
course during the next three years, not
abating any of his demands for good gov
ernment for Missouri but reading his COM
mission to apply strictly to the affairs OF
that state, and not taxing himself with un-
fortunate conditions elsewhere! r.'|

The President and Labor.

The attitude of the President on the chi
cago strike should have an effect far peyono
the confines of that big town In fact' there
Is q lesson In it of value to the whole coun-
try.
There can be no doubt that certain LABOR
agitators have given to the President $ part
in the settlement of the anthracite coai
strike a misinterpretation, and sought 10
spread their views among the wage-earners.
They have conceived him as siding against
capital, and disposed at all times to throw
his weight in n controversy in the scale lor
labor. They are all the more eager, there-
fore. to press their contentious to the strike
point for believing that in some way they
can bring the case before the President and
secure his assistance.
This is wholly unwarranted by the facts
In the coal case. When the President fnal-
ly interfered in the coal strike the contest
had passed the bounds of capital against
labor 1t had become a contest OF capltai
and labor against the comfort and we'll
being of large portion of the people OF the
country The President in that matter rep
resented the general welfare. AS the local
authorities were powerless or indisposed TO
put an end to strife whose effects were al
most national, he volunteered his good OF
fees. There are good grounds Tor the opin-
ion that if the then governor of Pennsyl-
vania had done his duty in the premises the
strike would not have attained the proper
tions or run the length that 1t did.
Strike leaders have but to reflect mo-
ment to see that man fit to hold public
Office can afford to be a partisan in such
matters. He is elected to do the right thing
by all. He represents the law. and cannot

flying the law. 1t is his duty to proceed
against all who offend in that way. How
could the President in Chicago have said a
single word in justification of the course OF
men who, though they may not have been
directing it, had profited by violence and
disorder?
The law is over all-over the non-union as
well as the union man-and the man who
violates it must be punished.
