Program at Luna Park.

In point of interest the outing Of Poto-
mac Lodge, No. IT. Junior Order of Ma
chinists from the navy yard held at Luna
Park yesterday, was one of the most sue
cessful of the present season. Fun seemed
to be the dominating feature throughout
the entire day, and the games and events
held on the recreation grounds in the after
noon were the most humorous of any of
the events held there. There were sack
races. shoe races. potato races, hurdle
races, egg races and every conceivable kind
of race Ladies participated as well as the
men, and In some instances showed better
craftsmanship than their brother athletes
The egg race, which consisted of the car
rying of eggs to a given point and their
final deposit safely and unbroken in a
basket provided for the purpose, afforded
the greatest amusement Not until Mr..
merged in eggs did the event come to a
finale, the prizes being awarded to Miss
| Sadie Cloey and Miss Carroll.
huge pile of shoes was the goal for the
participants In the shoe race, and the run
ners, their feet clad only In their stockings
presented an interesting spectacle. When
| they finally reached the shoe heap the real
scramble began, each contestant trying to
| wrestle from his opponent the shoe that
fitted his foot The race almost took a
serious turn when Zaronicay the African
| some one had placed his shoes in the heap.
Although Zaronica can stand for all kinds
| of kicks from the unr1dable mule, he pro-
tested earnestly against any effort to ap-
| propriate the covering of his under
standing, which, by the way, is OF con-
| siderable size.
A base ball game had been scheduled for
| the afternoon, but owing to the failure of
| the Journeymen's team to make it's ap-
| pearance the game was declared Off

not turn over TO these companies certain
moneys and two certificates of deposit for
500 each made to the board of fire under
writer's OF the District. which the marshal
seized recently on a writ of execution is
sued at the instance OF the syndicate trus-
tees upon a Judgment of $4,000 obtained
against Thomas G. Hensey, Mellon c..
Hooker and Melville D. Hensey.
The answer of the trustees filed by Mr..
Merillat denied that the insurance COM
panies had authorized Mr. Hensey to act
as their attorney in the matter asserted
that the moneys seized were In the cash
drawer of Thomas G. Hensey and were his
personal funds; that the deposits were made
by Hensey in order that himself and his
subagent E. Z. Rainey, could do business
and that as a matter of fact the trustees
did not have the money and certificates of
deposit, but that the same were held by the
marshal.
After hearing the answer Justice Gould
discharged the rule and refused to permit
Mr.. Hensey to amend his petition.

The Man With a "Bar'l."


Among republicans and democrats there
is consensus of opinion that this year is .
splendid one for political leaders OF means
to open their ''barls'' and come to the aid
OF the party that has been of service to
them individually in the past. There are
a good many of such men in both parties
Senator Clark. the copper king OF Montana,
is quite generally regarded as SHINING
mark for the democracy, but up 10 tfis TIME
the multi-millionaire senator is said to
have kept the lid on his treasure crest
Hearst of New York and Guffey OF Penn
sylvania are regarded as standbys, but they
are both in need of heavy campaign FUNDS
In their own states. But the idea OF dollar
contributions from the mass of voters IS not
now very popular with the leaders
Democratic Campaign Literature.
In this dilemma there is more talk OF
economy than has usually been heard even
in a campaign in an off year At the demo-
cratic headquarters in this city the pros
pective distribution of literature is hang
ing in the balance depending upon the
amount of money that can be driven from
cover The production of the handbook
for the campaign is one of the easiest proo-
lens In the printing business, because the
book Is largely sold. But the production or
speeches is quite another matter, and takes
money, because some of the districts that
need them most are not able TO contrib
ute toward printing bills.
The Democratic Handbook.
Whether II is because ''hrevity is the
soul of wit" or because brevity encourages
economy. there is disposition on the part
of many of the democratic leaders to re-
duce the size of the handbook.
The work on the democratic handbook
has not advanced very far yet, although
the issues that are to be made prominent
In 1t are pretty clearly defined. The tariff
as the mother of the trusts is to be put
forward and may be the subject with
which the handbook will lead off. Labor
questions will also be given very promi-
nent place.
The work of the recent session Of Con-
gress wifi be reviewed in a way TO show
what large part of credit for what was
done should be placed at the door OF the
democrats.
The democratic handbook will not be is
sued before September /. and its appear
ance is likely to be postponed several more
weeks. Experience has shown that cam
paign issues are sometimes elusive and
what appears to be the best thing to talk
about in July is often superseded in the
popular favor by something else in Sep
TENDER. For that reason 1t Is often re-
garded as desirable to bring the handbook
out as late possible.
