T. E. Waggaman's Office Furniture and
Other Effects Disposed Of

A sale of the office furniture and other eff
fects belonging to Thomas e. Waggaman
was made at auction yesterday in his for
mer real estate office at OIL street, and
attracted large crowd of people, many of
whom had been Waggaman's former bust
ness associates and clients In the throng,
too, We're relic hunters who were anxious
to secure souvenirs.
The sale was conducted under the diree-
ton of Mr.. H. Rozier Dulany the trustee
in bankruptcy for the Waggaman estate.
The bidding was lively from the first, and
some of the articles brought quite fair
price. The entire proceeds of the sale, how
ever did not net over $500 out of an origi-
nal cost of $500 or $4,000. The fixtures
were sold under an order of the District Su-
preme Court, and the money will be turned
over to the trustees.
Perhaps the most frequent bidder and
heaviest purchaser was Mr. David Moore
la of the firm of Moore & Hill. He bought
all the plat and assessment books, four roll
top desks, high partition for his private
office. big front counter and several other
smaller things which will be used by him
in fitting up his new office on New York

of buffalo horns which had been presented

A number of the local committee of policy
holders of the Western Life Indemnity
Company of Chicago, which conducted the

from the fields and woods. The parents
and friends of the pupils showed great in
terest In the work, and came in large crowds
to see the results The flower and garden
show this year is, therefore, much larger
and better than that of last year because
of the encouragement the children received
from their previous efforts. In some of the
schools arrangements were made with the
authorities by means of which they were
permitted to enter the school yards and at
tend to the wants of the plants in the
school garden. This was the case at the
Franklin building. where the garden was
maintained in high state of cultivation
throughout the summer. At the Garnet
School the tanitor attended to the garden
during the summer, and consequently this
school makes good showing this year
All of the officials of the schools have
come to look upon the school garden as one
or the important fea tures of the school sys-
tenn The board of education has ordained
mat all the time possible shall be given TO
the gardens during the season. and the
principals OF the various schools have taken
charge OF the work personally At every
building today visitors were shown an exhi-
bition that is satisfactory alike to exhib-
ltor and spectator. At some of the build
ings, OF course, the location and nature of
the soil made 1t possible to do much better
work than at others. The exhibition opened
today at noon and will continue until dark

LOCAL LICENSE LAW.
Hotel Proprietors May Sell Liquor
With Sandwiches.

Fritz Reuter-, the hotel proprietor at the
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and John
Marshall place northwest. was before the
Police Court this morning on charge OF
keeping his bar open on Sunday. The case
was filed last October, but at the time a
jury trial was demanded and the case went
over. The demand for jury trial was
withdrawn this morning. Judge O'Neal
held that there was not sufficient evidence
to hold the defendant and he dismissed the
case.
The testimony for the government was
that Officers Armstrong and A. e. Brown
tanned glass of beer with a sandwich.
The defense maintained that they could sell
liquor with meals to bona fide guests, and
they considered these men such guests.

New Fire-Fighting Device.

Chief Belt of the fire department has made
report to the Commissioners of the test
recently made by the H. II. Hart wagon
turret pipe at 18th and streets
These pipes.'' said the chief, "are only
used at large fires, and the fact of its TAX
ing five or six men to hold the pipe the
old way and only one man to operate the
torrent pipe in any direction means a great
deal at the time of a large fire.
II consider the pipe one of the best pieces
of fire appliances that was ever tested by
this department.
The report states in detail some of the
comparative tests to which the new device
was subjected, and indicates that one man
with the new appliance can do the work
of several men with the old apparatus.

Work Of Vandals.
The first garden was made at the Frank
lin School. and the pupils took to the idea
at once. The flowers and vegetables that
were grown that year greatly encouraged
the directress. and she made arrangements
for the establishment of gardens at all of
the school buildings the next year These
gardens were laid out In the school yards
wherever 1t was possible and the children
were furnished with tools for the neces-.
sary work of preparing the ground and of
cultivating the plants afterward. Some of
the schools were not very well adapted to
gardens, and here the first year was not
successful. The pupils and teachers gained
experience In the work, however. and last
year went into the scheme with a determf-
nation to make the gardens as luxuriant as
possible. In some of the school districts
the teachers had difficulty In keeping their
gardens intact. Vandalism was rampant.
This was especially so In the vegetable gar
dens. AT one school In Southeast Wash
Ington fine lettuce and raasshes were grown.

Last Years Show.
The seeds were furnished the pupils at
the rate of one cent per package. and they
were allowed to buy all they wanted. All
sorts Of seeds were sold. and the work of
establishing the gardens began as soon as
the school gardens were planted In many
of the schools the pupils had flowers and
vegetables to bring to the teacher before
the school year closed. They were told to
carefully tend the plants during the sum
mer, and IL at the opening of the school
year there were no flowers Or vegetables to
show for their summers work they at least
might save few seeds of the plants they
had cultivated. 1t happened last fail, there
fore, that each school room received a
gooely collection of plants, seeds and fruits.
and when the success of the home gardens
had become apparent In the number of
products carried to school the idea of hold
ing a show was evolved. that the friends
and relatives of the pupils could see what
the children had Eeen able to do.
Last years show was the first of any con-
sequence that was held, and the showing
made in several of the larger buildings was
highly creditabIe. The seeds. plants veg
