Less Than 5000 Visitors.

Less Inan O,OOO v1S1COrS.
During the late season there were only
b,414 visitors to the park; $500 campers,
who came in their own conveyances from
the surrounding country, and 2,914 tourists.
This is about half the number who came
during the previous year. The decrease Is
undoubtedly due to the San Francisco
earthquake and fire, which caused a large
falling off in the number Of eastern tourists
visiting California. Next year, however,
when the facilities for handling visitors are
improved. 1t will be necessary to provide
additional hotel accommodations There is
only one hotel in the valley, and that Is of
limited capacity. There are two camps,
however. where visitors are accommodated
In tents and are made comfortable There
Is another hotel at the peak of one Of the
highest mountains, overlooking the valley,
which is very small. Maj. Benson, in his
report to the Secretary of the Interior,
says:
''As railroad is being built. the terminus
Of which will be but twelve miles from the
Sentinel Hotel. sleeping accommodations in
the valley will undoubtedly be totally made
quate during the next season, which will
necessitate the enlargement of the camp
hotels. and, in my opinion. this Is not de-
sirable, except as a necessity. New hotels
should be built at once. All buildings, how
ever, which are put up in the future, should
be of stone, and conform to some general
plan to be adopted by the Interior Depart
ment. There Is an unlimited quantity of
good building stone, already Quarried,
within easy access. Lime kilns are being
built on the new railroad, within twenty
miles of the valley, so that stone buildings
will be very much cheaper than frame
buildings. and will last forever"
AS 1t is impossible for any one to recog-
uize the limits of the park, and as ranch
men on the western side are continually
driving their cattle and sheep or letting
them stray over the boundary. Maj. Benson

recommends also that Congress enact law

regulations governing the park and author

commissioner or other magistrate to deal
with offenders. The same rules that have
been successfully enforced In the Yellow

"Hiawatha" Given Again.

The s. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society
scored big success Thursday evening with
Its rendition Of "Hiawatha," the well-known
poem by Longfellow, which was set to
music for solos and choruses by S. Cole
ridge-Taylor the colored composer from
London. England. The Metropolitan A. M
e. Church was filled to capacity and the
production surpassed in success the one
given the evening before. The singers and
the orchestra sang and played with more
uniformity, both seeming more at ease It
is difficult to enumerate the parts that were
most appreciated, inasmuch as all, whether
chorus or soloists or orchestra, came in for
good snare Of applause.
The baritone solo by Harry T. BurIeigh,
of Farewell, Minnehaha," accompanied by
the chorus, was perhaps the number which
received the greatest ovation on the part of
the audience. "Wahonomin, Wahonomin, -
sung by Mrs. Kathryne Skeene- Mitchell
and Mr.. Burleigh. also scored a big hit, as
did tenor solos by George I. Holt. The
Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra and Miss
Mary J.. Europe, pianist accompanied.
Others whose singing was enthusiastically
received were Miss Lottie Wallace con-
tralto, and Miss Helen Bell Cardozo, mezzo
soprano.
The entertainments given by the choral
society were held under the auspices and
for the benefit of the trustees of the church.

q the Editor of The Star:

10 the EDITOR OF Inc star:
My father, George M. Copeland. was a
merchant in western New York for over
sixty years, and / have been behind the
counters from am. until 10 pm, winter
and summer. Before the civil war pork
and lard were not sold in the store, as the
people generally raised their own supply,
but now all is changed. and the old store
Of 1887 keeps on hand barrels of these
products. What difference this makes in
the expense of the table! Formerly but
little beef was eaten. Pork. Goldfish, mack
erel. white fish and trout were the daily
food items. Now. young America must
have beefsteak-and will not touch pork or
Goldfish. Then each house raised fits own
chickens, and eggs were cheap but now
very few families In the villages have
fowls, and, of course, the price of all such
articles has gone up under the law Of
supply and demand. Now butcher carts
travel all over the country roads, but in
other days they were unknown. Beef was
only eaten in the winter season. and to
have a sfrloin steak was company feast.
Now, high wages have made the American
an epicure, and the poorest mechanic or
laborer must have the very. best. The day
of economy has passed away, and the day
Of high prices has seized the American
pocket. Consumers are not now producers.
and this explains the change.

For PRINTING STAMPS
CONTRACT AWARDED TO THE BU-
REAU OF ENGRAVING.
Bid of the American Bank Note Com
pany Was Somewhat Lower
Mr.. Cortelyou's Statement.

Postmaster General Cortelyou has award
ed to the bureau of engraving and printing
of the Treasury Department the contract
for furnishing postage stamps and books
of stamps for the postal service during the
period of four years beginning February 1.
1907. This award was made after the full
est consideration of the proposals submit
ted. There were only two bidders-the bu-
reau of engraving and printing and the
National Bank Note Company of New York.
The annual saving IL the award had been
made to the private bidder would have
been approximately $4,000. but the Post
master Generals investigation of the sub
ject convinced him that this amount would
be more than offset by the loss on the ma
chinery of the postage stamp plant in the
should be sold to the American Bank Note
Company at its present market value.
While Congress has not directed that
postage stamps should be manufactured
at the bureau of engraving and printing.
1t has authorized the Postmaster General
to have them manufactured there when, in
his judgment, to do so would be for the
best interests of the Post Office Depart
ment
Mr.. Cortelyou's Statement.
In the course of a memorandum upon the
case, the Postmaster General says:
IL dppedTS 10 De the pOncy OF the gov
eminent. as shown by various acts of Con-
gress, to manufacture its currency revenue
stamps. securities. ETC., by its own agencies
and under supervision of it's own officials,
and 1t would be contrary to that policy to
give over to q private company the con-
tract for the manufacture of postage
stamps, which are securities of the United
States, solely for the purpose of effecting
saving to the Post Office Department OF
an amount relatively small and largely
problematical.
THE American Bank Note Company, In
Its letter of November Ii, offers to the gov
eminent the option of five successive re-
newals, of four years each, upon the same
terms and conditions as now proposed, of
the contract for the manufacture of post
age stamps and stamps in books. Admit
ting the fairness of this offer and the good
faith of the company in making it,, there
may be serious doubt whether 1t would be
legally binding upon the company. if adopt
ed by the Postmaster General and whether.
indeed, its acceptance would be warranted
by public policy.
questioning either the ability or RESPONSE
bility of the American Bank Note Com
pany, 1t does not seem to me that the
award of the contract for printing postage
stamps and stamps in books to that COM
pany would be justified.

DEPENDENT CHILDREN
REPORT OF PRESIDENT OF
BOARD OF GUARDIANS.

In the annual report Of B. Pickman Mann,
president of the board of childrens guard
ians, it is explained that 1854 dependent
children were cared for during the year
ended June 80 last at a cost of 1926,
while the total cost of maintaining the
branch Of the District charity department
in question was $70,326.70. which sum is
Sc 900 less than the amount expended for
the same purpose during the previous year.
1t Is pointed out in the report that while
there has been a steadily increasing amount
of money expended for a growing number
Of wards 1t is apparent that the maximum
of annual expenditure has been reached
and that there should be in the future a
slightly decreasing scale Of annual expend-
itures. However, Mr.. Mann is of the opfn-
ion that the fund for feeble-mnded chill
dren ought to grow literally each year, so
that all of that Unfortunate class may be
promptly and comfortably cared for.
1t was necessary for the controller of the
treasury to render two decisions for the
disbursing officer Of the board during the
past year, which decisions were looked
upon as important by the board and are
explained in the report.
Number of Wards.
The board began the year 19O5-06 with
ton, not including six under temporary
care and 81 feeble-minded children for
whose support it was responsible. Two
hundred wards were received during the
year. 100 children received for temporary
care, and six more feeble minded children
were added. During the year some of these
dependents relieved the board from their
guardianship and support Fifty became of
age, six were married. nineteen died, and
twenty-five were returned to court and
committed to the reform school, leaving at
the end of the year 1854 wards under the
guardianship of this board.
1t is emphasized in the report that the
amount annually expended for the form
of charity in question has increased, chiefly
because Of the steady accumulation of I'M
placeable children, those afflicted or dis
eased or dwarfed or deficient in some way,
who will always be charges upon the COM
munity. 1t was pointed out that more
money is being expended for the board of
the wards and in doing more things for
the benefit of the wards, which helps to
increase the annual cost.
Total Appropriation.
The total appropriation for the work was
s74, 72G. Inc expenditures were for salaries
of officers, rent for offices. printing. post
age and telephoning. $1UT2O: for the care
of the feeble minded, $4,000; maintenance
of dependents in the District institutions,
15,445; other institutions, 81. 1873: private
boarding homes, $15,69T; medical attend
ance and supplies, 81 ,469; clothing, 81, 1874:
care of children at the Hart Farm School,
$11 ,4SS, and the burial of wards. S20S1O.
President Mann said repeated efforts to
find a school for feeble-mnded colored chill
dren have failed. An appropriation of
10000 was granted for the purpose, but the
sum was insufficient for the establishment
of the project. He will make an appeal for
a larger appropriation at the coming ses-
sion of Congress.

however, is unimportant 1t Is known that
in 1870 the colonial authorities established
public tobacco house at point which is
now IN the northeastern section Of Alex
andria. This warehouse, perhaps, furnished
the nucleus for the hamlet of Belhaven At
any rate, houses were built in that vicinity,
and the settlement came in time to he
known by that name.
After the town had been given a definite
status and the name of Alexandria by the
colonial assembly 1t developed with some
faplolty. AS the place grew and new
streets We're formed names for them were
chosen from the titles of royalty and no.
biiity, and in some cases from the ances-

Alexandra was in the territory of Fairfax
county, which then embraced a large part

Stirring Scenes.
There were busy and stirring scenes in
the little colonial town when In 1855 fleet
of war vessels and transports arrived in the
harbor with Braddock's army, just before
that command set out on the disastrous
expedition against the French and Indians.
While In Alexandria Gen. Braddock held
conferences with several OF the colonial
governors In the Carlyle House. which ia
now being cared for by the Society for
the Restoration of Historic Alexandra,
1t is recorded that Gen Washington
bought considerable quantity of pronertv
in Alexandria In the year 1863. One tract
which he purchased was located at the cor
ner of Pitt and Cameron streets and an
other at the corner. of Pitt and Prince
streets.
Soon after the Boston Tea Party, the
citizens of Alexandria met and decided thai
IL Boston was forced to submit they would
not. 1t Is said that Washington presided
at this meeting.
The Friendship Fire Engine Company, of
which Washington was member, was or

Washington was not only concerned In
general way In the welfare of the COM

with reference to the common rights and
privileges of the two states concerning the
navigation of the Potomac and the import
duties charged. At this meeting repre-
sensations were received concerning the in
terests of Maryland and Delaware in the
matter, and another meeting was held In
August, at which delegates from all of
these states were present. These delegates
also adjourned to meet again, that time in
Philadelphia, when the representatives of
the thirteen states assembled and finally
framed the federal Constitution. So the
meetings in Alexandria were logically con-
nected with the evolution of the great or
