he struck her and took some articles of
jewelry from her at the time Among
other things that he is said to have taken
We're a pair of eyeglasses.

RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION.
Meeting of Executive Committee Held
Last Night.

A meeting of the executive committee of
the treasury branch of the United States
Civil Service Retirement Association was
held last evening in the rooms of the parent
association, 1924 New York avenue north
west. The president, Mr.. James A. Sam
pie, who is chairman of the executive COM
mittee, reported that a meeting of the leg
islative committee had been held at 1885
New York avenue northwest last Monday
evening for the discussion of measures for
the preparation of a retirement bill, to be
presented to Congress at its next regular
session.
Charles Lyman. appointment clerk of the
treasury, was elected an honorary member
of the legislative committee. and to it was
referred a letter written by Mr.. E. ].
Bookings and read by Mr. e. P. Harring-
ton. Mr. Brookings advocated the plan of
educating the public to the retirement idea
by distributing throughout the United
States circulars setting forth definitely
the objects of the association.
The members of the executive commit
tee, who constituted quorum, rendered
reports as to the results of their efforts to
increase the membership OF the association.
A successful campaign has been Waged,
and the rolls now contain the names or
nearly 1000 members. Those who submit
ted reports were Vice President Llewellyn
Jordan and Messrs h. p. Harrington, Mil
ton r. Adkins, w. T. Ramsey and A. l..
Thorson. The members of the executive
committee are unanimous in their regret
that by reason of the circumstances at
tending the organization and dissolution OF
an opposition organiza ton a snort time
ago there is widespread impression that
the treasury branch Is thing or the past.
The executive committee is now earnestly
at work endeavoring to correct this mis-
understanding.

the women of the departments who have
no homes and live In rooms place to live
and have the comforts of home. A mini
mum charge will be made for rooms and
board, and sitting rooms, parlors and libra
ries will be provided
1t is stated that similar Institutions exist
In other cities throughout the country nota-
bly, in Pittsburg, st. Louis and Louisville
1t is hoped to model this institution after
these as nearly as possible. Only women
employees or eX-employes of the depart
ments will be admitted. 1t is expected that
special benefit will accrue TO those unfor-
tunate enough to lose their positions and
be thrown to the world without means
of support. These will be provided with a
home for anything that they are able to
pay and given employment around the Mousse

MAKES SHARP REPLY
COL. RIDDLE TALKS OF LOCAL
WASTE 'oF WATER.

Spirited reply was made by Engineer
Commissioner Biddls today to the implica-
ton cast by the Office Of the United States
engineer in Charge of the water supply Of
the District that carelessness or neglect on
the part OF District officials were respon-
sible for the great waste Of water in tho
city.
Upward of 1900 houses have been in
spected by this department" said Col. Bid
die, land when leaks are found close
watch Is maintained to see that they are
promptly repaired In case of seeming I'M
warranted delay the water is promptly
shut off from the affected premises.
Our building regulations require the
plumbing to be SO installed in all cases so
as to minimize the danger from freezing;
but We cannot compel people to maintain
fires in their houses. In the older sections
of the city the water mains probably are
too close to the surface. but the trouble
on account of freezing water pipes all along
has been with the connections to the mains
and not with the mains themselves. When
ever change of grade or other opportunity
offers, however, we lose no time in lower
ing the mains.
1T has been suggested that the most ia
grant cases of waste of water might be
dealt with by decreasing the pressure, but
it is obvious that it is impossible TO de-
crease this pressure on any one house. We
can lower the pressure on whole section
or division. but that would be Furnishing

that one guilty man may not escape

Colonial Beach IS to have a daily mail
service with this city by way of the river
line and excursion steamers. and the first
pouch by the new route will leave here on
the steamer Pocahontas tomorrow morning
The Star learned several days ago that the
four or five thousand persons at Colonial
Beach from this city had to wait twenty
four or forty-eight hours before mall from
home could reach them. The Star took
the question up with the Post Office De-
partment and the result is that yesterday
a contract was closed with Capt. E. s. Ran
dali to carry the mail between this city
and the Beach, the pouch leaving here
Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Don't Know Old New York.

From the New York Herald
There Is much truth I'm the statement OF
a writer whose communication appears in
the column of letters from Herald readers
this morning that comparatively few resi-
dents of this city seem to know much about
old New York.
This is not surprising. The growth or
the city has been phenomenal. and most or
the busy workers who carry on fits myriad
activities hail from various parts of the
country and from other lands. Members
of the old families who have inherited for
tunes founded In commerce, finance or real
estate on the other hand spend but a small
portion of their time in New York ana
know little of its geography aside from the
beaten paths of fashion.
The societies that are marking the sites
of historic events are doing good work, ana
the attention now given to the subject in
the public schools is exciting an interest in
It. but in general the people are so busy
seeking enjoyment or "hustling" for livS
ing in the New York of today that, then
give little time or thought to the New York
of the yesterdays.

Test of Firefghter Apparatus.

were thrown far out into the river by the
powerful pumps Of the boat. The work OF
bringing the boat up to the standard re-
quired by the contract Is being pushed
rapidly ahead and 1t is stated that within
ten days the boat will be ready for service.
The Firefghter is fioa ting mass OF ma
chlnery and Is said to be more powerful
than the fire tugs of either Baltimore or
Philadelphia. She can, when working at
full force, throw nineteen streams of water
on a fire.

severe wound and fracturiny the skull.

For a Young Man With Money.
From London Truth.


If l were young man, with a certain
amount of capital, and DESTROYS to increase
II at the expense OF fools, I should become
a dealer In pictures and in works of art.
The prices paid at auctions for such articles
by few dealers bidding against each other
are absurd, although a vast number OF
very wealthy fools who purchase them from
dealers are ready TO pay still higher. The
mere fact that some article has been sold In
an auction room at a high price attracts
them, and they buy 1t from the dealer at
higher one i'm order to be able to point to
1t in their houses, and to tell their friends
how much 1t cost them. The dealer conse-
quently makes much money by acting as
middleman. Whether there is any ar
rangement to run up the price among the
dealers L do not know. But have always
wondered whether this Is the case and
whether the original owner always gets the
selling price at the auction.

A Tale of Babu Officialdom.

From London Truth.
An amusing story of Babu off1caldom
comes from Alden. An officer in charge of a
post In the hinterland had, in addition to
his military duties, to look after the dis
patch of the mails. One day he learned
that he had incurred a reprimand at the
post office. and that an entry to that eff
feet had been made against his name He
treated the matter lightly, and inquired
whether the reprimand involved a fine or
imprisonment or both. He was then in
formed that by this misplaced ievity he had
incurred second reprimand. Further in
quiry disclosed that his original offense lay
In sealing the mall bags improperly He
had not been provided with an official seal,
and In lieu thereof he had stamped the wax
with large uniform button. AS this gave
the impress Of crown and the royal arms
he no doubt considered II a rather happy
makeshift but the Hindu official at the
other end was of a different opinion, with
the dire results above mentioned.
