Impending Ice Scarcity
Assumes Serious Aspect

That a serious scarcity in the ice sup
ply for Washington is impending and
will develop unless there is a material
change in the situation. there appears
no reason TO doubt. While the Ameri-
can Ice Company reports It has several
vessels on the way from the fields OF
Maine. they have not arrived. and II is
apparent the output Of manufactured
ice is not sufficient to supply the de-
mand-
Edward NJ. Willis. jr.. of the Home
zee Company. says his company will be
able TO supply its customers. but he is
not taking on any additional customers.
At the Office of the American Ice
Company it was said yesterday the COM
pany was not relying wholly upon the
winds to bring ice TO sweltering Wash
ingtOn. but that several cargoes had
been loaded on barges and were being
toWed to this city by tugs.

with Northern concerns is the handling
Of their goods. A double team can haul
a greater load with less exertion from
the freight depots to warehouses and
back in Washington than in any north
ern city, and in less time, doing more
work in a day, because of the light
grades and smooth pavements and lack
of congestion owing to the wide streets
The wear and tear on teams and
wagons is one-half that of Northern
cities. We have draft horses weigh
ing 1900 and ] 400 pounds each which
are in perfect physician condition today
that have been used continuously for
ten years. New York, Philadelphia, or
Baltimore cannot show on such re-
suits"

Present Jobbing Trade Small.

1t Is generally considered that an in
crease in the variety and extent Of the
Jobbing interests Of the city would be
profitable not only to the new entries
into the business field, but to those who
are already there. The present jobbing
trade is so small in amount. relatively,
that the present jobbers suffer in Sc
curing quick shipments. r. P. An
1rews. a I5,-.uber of the committee, SAYS
this is one OF the serious troubles with
the present situation. Discussing this
phase of the matter recently Mr.. An

handicapped on account OF the lack OF

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 10.-The ad-
miralty has received a report from the
surgeon in charge OF Vice Admiral Chouk-

office in Sebastopol yesterday, to the
effect that his wounds are not dangerous
Rear Admiral Grigorovitch has assumed
command of the Black Sea fleet in sue
cession to Chouknin.
According to the morning papers and
subsequent dispatches from sebastopol
confirming the press accounts, the attend

in his breast. from which the bullet has
not been extracted. The other wounds
are In the right shoulder and both legs.

Upon entering the admirnl's office she
drew Il rapid-firc pistol and fired four
shots ut Chouknin with deliberate aim,
each bullet reaching the mark. Sho then
turned to flee, but was killed by the or

Eerve and continued to issue orders even
while being carried to bed, and during
the examination by the surgeons. Later
he received personally friends who came
to sympathize with him.
The news of the attempt on Chouknin's
life created great excitement among the
sailors at Sebnstopol, a large proportion
of whom are sullen and continually on

at sebastopol attempted to organize
demonstration but were unsuccessful.

He was steadily grayitating TO the

fine old gentlemen that Richmond. In tho
olden time, felt that poor Poe had put
himself beyond the pale. and Richmond
had cast him awayt-ietters and all.
In her horror OF dirt she had swept out
a priceless pearl!
1t is all very pitifu. The fates that
dealt hardly with Poe while lie lived
follow him still. After ffty-five Tong years
1t Is still to be said OF this man what
Is to be said Of most men of genius
only while they live-that the farther
you get away from his home. the more
highly you find him honored. Abroad no
other American name shines SO resplen-
dent. Here in the only home he over
had we prefer Longfellow. and some
times--heaven save the mark!--Whttier.
1t is time we were doing the little that
Is left to be done. Admitting the worst
that was ever spoken of him-and truly
many a foul tongue had it's way with his
name-if Poe did the things which he
ought not to have done, we have left
tlndone those things which we ought to
have DONE and there is no health in
either of us-not, Mt any rate, untl we
have done what we can do to righs this
wrong. We may add little to the luster
of his fame. but we can do much to i'm

BY EDWARD LEIGH PELL, d. d.

I am glad tho English arc speaking
their minds about tliat Hall Of Fame

and they have IL right to be Indignant.
Hiit wei-why should we ray anything?
Why should, Richmond. condemn New

done little to. honor his memory 1t Is
partly because, the places that know
him have done less. and Richmond---his

prophet is not without honor save
In his own country--and In his own life

him., but when he is dead 1t Is almost
as certain that they will take Zip tho
stones again. and build a monument to
his memory. The world Understands this
SO we'll that when a prophets own peo-
pie refuse to buiId his monument 1t is
taken as proof that he was no prophet
When 1 came to Richmond fourteen
