A History of the District

Gratifying evidence of the evolution of
distinct community spirit In this District is
Afforded by the demand that has been
voiced In recent years for the preparation of
an authoritative history OF the seat of
government, both as a capital city and as
municipality. Citizens of Washington
have appreciated the fact that heretofore
the records of the capital have been too
little considered, and the Board of Trade
recognizing the need, has recently deter
mined to promote the publicat ton of a work
of this character feeling that there will be
both a generous support for the enterprise
and much benefit to the community from IT,
The proposition advanced is for the Board
of Trade to undertake the publication of
this local history on q sufficient scale to
permit the inclusion of every happening of
Importance and significance since the
project for establishing a federal seat
of government was preached. The work
is to be done under the general
supervision of the Board and the
editorship of Mr.. w. B. Bryan. whose
selection in this capacity is a guarantee of
thoroughness OF research Mr.. Bryans
lsbors IN the past in connection with the
Columbia Historical Society have proved
his familiarity with the local records and
there is no doubt OF his unqualified success
as the editor of the semi official story of
th, District, which-is soon to be produced.
Such q work will be thorough and COM
plete in proportion to the scale upon which
it is published. and there is reason for hop
ing that the citizens of Washington will
pledge their support in the form of SUBJ
seriptions in such season that the scope
and character of the work itself can soon be
definitely laid out. Materials for the his
tory from volunteer sources will also great
ly assist in the success OF the enterprise.
The history, thus prepared and published
will be virtually the work of the whole
District. every citizen having an interest in
Its success

The Christmas Tree.

From the Chicago Post.
Those of us who lament the destruction
OF forests may take comfort in the thought
that many trees in the market are raised
for the purpose by nurserymen, and that
waste acres In the north are sown with
balsam seeds and regular crop is harvest
ed In due season by woodsmen who plant
for the growing. Earth would, In fact, be
a desert drear If the myths and play cere-
monies were taken from the lives of men.
The Christmas tree carries the healthful
message of the forest in Its branches, and
it's resinous edors send the fancy beyond
roofs and the struggle for existence into
the free country where nature gives with a
bountiful hand. The festival Of the Christ
mas tree, musical with carols and generous
exchange of greetings, is the climax of the
year, and with its departing we bid fare
well to winter and turn toward the hopes
of spring Long live the Christmas tree!
May it's number never grow less, and may
1t bear fruit in every household in the land

Carelessness With Fire.
From the Baltimore American.

The annual horror of locked-in children
burning to death is under way. These ac-
cidents are so many and so alike in their
character that they cannot reasonably be
regarded as wholly unpreventable. The
general careiessness about fire Is something
appalling to contemplate, especially as the
frequent disasters of the most agonizing
kind seem to furnish no deterrent warn
ings, and holocausts which could be pre-
vented by the exercise of a little ordinary
care and thought continue to shock CON-
munities with their narrowing details.

The Heart Regnant.
from be puluth News-Tribune.

The approach of the holiday season seems
to hamanize the business world. There Is
sentiment In every store: there is thought
of absent friends and home people in dis
cussnions over trffies on the counters, there
is busting that forecasts happiness about
the prosaic old post Office and the harsh
commercial aspect of the express and freight
depots. There is much buying of narrow
red ribbons and holly stickers. reams of
white tissue paper for Christmas bundles.
There is thought-thought for others every
where. and the whole world of business is
under its spell.

In the course of the conversation she inform ed the magistrate that she desired the release of the prisoner and he asked her why she had been so insistent on his arrest for the last three or four months and especially yesterday morn ing. She replied that it was her moth CTS wish and she did not want to oppose her mother. She was then asked if the man was not guilty and she replied that he was not, that the father of her child was a man named Rodrigues who is now in Magdalena.

Charged With Serious OFense By Girl
 OfVaciIIati g Mind.

Roso Martinez was arrested yester- day by Deputy United States Marshal w. T. Gregory, who was accompanied at the time by A. J. Porterie. The warrant was issued on the 18th of March last and the crime charged is that of adultery. Delay in the ar rest has been due to the fact that Martinez has been employing the tac- tics of the California flea and hitherto every time the officers reached for him he wasn't there.
 Martinez is a married man and his alleged accomplice in the commission of the crime is Miss Maria Antonia Mendoza. the warrant having been is sued on complaint of her mother Guadalupe Estrella. Antonia is young woman perhaps not over sew enteen or eighteen, and about the time of the birth of her child, which has since died, the mother made com plaint, but Martinez had already fled. On various occasions since then the mother has reported his presence in the city but he always managed to elUde arrest.
 Yesterday morning the girl Antonia reported to U. s. Court Commissioner Johnstone that Martinez was in town again and told where he could be found at the residence of his sister on South Second street. She said that she had mot him and he had taunted her with her disgrace; that she was very anxious for his arrest as was her mother. The off cers at once went to the place they were directed to. MT. Gregory entered the front door while MT. Porterie went to the back door. As MT. Gregory entered Mar tinez retreated to a rear room, but the officer followed him and when he was confronted he gave up with Q smile, saying that he was the man whose name the officer had spoken. He ac- companied them to the county jail without protest and will be arraigned this morning ard probably given a hearing this afternoon.
 Thus far everything went as smooth as grease and it seemed that the law was to be avenged almost without re- sistance but during the afternoon An

Unless early and correct treatments applied the patient seldom survives when once the disc ase is fastened upon her. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most efficient treat ment for kidney troubles of women, and is the only medicine especially prepared for this purpose.
 When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding urination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys ornotices a brick dust sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life.
 For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer.

A GOOD TEN sHILLINes' WORTH.

It is seldom, one would imagine, that original paintings by celebrated
 artists are used to illustrate a book. But in one of the Amsterdam book shops, about two decades aSo, a folio
 miscellany was picked up by an Eng fish tourist, who was attracted by the water color sketches which had been inserted therein as illustrations. Upon reaching home he placed the volume,
 which had cost him the equivalent of ten shiIlings, on a shelf and forgot all about it for more than two years. when, one evening a neighbor. who was artist, dropped in for a game of whist. and after the rubber

 After a few minutes the artist said, very quietly: Have you any idea as to whether these drawings are any good?''
 No" replied the owner 'I don't
 know anything about them. They took my fancy and so I gave the man. af- ter bargaining, ten shilinJs for the book"
 The artist smiled. After a pause he said: "'I will give you three times as much for the drawings and -'ou can | keep the book"

SHERRTCK OUT on BAIL.
Near Collapse When arrested
State Not Expected to Lose.

Indianapolis. Sept. 15.-David f. Sherrck.
Auditor OF State. was arrested and registered
at the police station this morning charged with
embezzlement of the States funds. He waived
examination. Because of the large number Of
cases before him in police court Judge Whallon
postponed the hearing as to the amount of
Sherricks bond until this afternoon When
Sherrick reappeared before Judge Whalon he
was held TO await the action of the grand jury
and his bond was fixed at $4,000

leased and left the courtroom with several
friends.
Investigation of the securities which were
placed in the hands Of the Governor tends to
show that they are OF sufficient value to pro-
tect the State if taken with the 500 900 bond of
the American Surety Company. The face value
of these deposits, stocks, bonds. etc. given to
protect the State for the sf45197 due 1t is
S172,7 of which about SS3Q00 represents in
vestments in various mining enterprises of a
more or less speculative character 1t is thought
all told about 500 900 will be realized This will
leave about $4,000 to be paid by the American
Surety Company, the bond of which amounts to
100000 The States interests are therefore
thought to be fully protected.
