VISITS TWO INSTITUTIONS.
Commissioner Mcfarland Pleased
With Results at Blue Plains.

Commissioner Mcfarland Pleased
With Results at Blue Plains.
Commissioner Macfarland visited the Dis
trict farm at Blue Plains, D. c.. opposite
Alexandria. Saturday afternoon and in
spected the Home for the Aged and In
firm located there about a year ago. and
the Industrial Home School for Colored
Children, which Is to be occupied this sum-
mer. The Commissioner was accompanied
upon his tour by the superintendents of the
two insttutions-Dr. Percy Smith OF the
former and Prof. George w. Cook Of the
latter.
Commissioner Mcfarland stated today
that the Home for the Aged and Infirm and
the portion Of the farm which is being cul-
tivated In connection with 1t are in first
class condition. he is. very much pleased.
he said. with the results of the work which
DR.. Smith and his assistants have done dur
ing the year. The work Is to be commended
particularly. he said, because Of the fact
that the appropria tons were not entirely
sufficient, and declared that he believed
that DR.. Smith has fully JUSTIFIED his APP
pointment as superintendent.
Continuing. the Commissioner said he
was especially impressed with the neat
ness and cleanliness of the building, the
absence Of disagreeable odors and the real
comfort OF the 200 inmates. Mr.. Macfar-
land tasted the bread prepared for the in
-mateS ana FOUND 1t excellent, and was we'll
pleased with all the food supplies and the
way they are kept and cooked. The gar
dening and farming connected with the
institution had been, he thinks, unusually
successful, considering that the weather
conditions had been adverse and that there
was not an adequate labor force.
The expectation that the aged men and
women would be competent to do hard
work on the farm was not entertained by
Commissioner Mcfarland and proves not
to nave been warranted and additional
farm laborers will have to be provided. He
states that necessary labor force
should be provided the institution might
be made almost self-supporting AS 1t Is
large amount of the vegetables and
forage required will be obtained from the
farm.
Mr.. mcfarland later went over the build
ings of the Industrial Home School for Col
ored Children and the portion of the farm
allotted to 1t. and learned Prof. Cooks
plans for utilizing most efficiently the build
ings and land The appropriation for the
buildings was too small. according to the
Commissioner, so that they had to be tn
all respects severely simple. Additional
buildings. it is stated. will soon be neces-
sary. Commissioner mcfarland feels that
Prof. Cook will be able to make success
full start in the coming fiscal year. which
II followed up will make the institution en-
tirely successful.

FOLDING PARAsoL,
And Likewise Folding Umbrellas-An
Old Fashion Revived.

From the New York Sun
When men and women now nifty were
small boys and girls parasols were made
with hinged handles. Later came a time
| when those parasols went entirely out of
use, supplanted by more modern parasols
with solid sticks. Now folding handle para
soils have come in again. and there are now
to be found also-these were never heard
of In old times-folding handle umbrellas.
The handle of the old-fashioned folding
parasol was secured and held In position
when set straight by means Of sliding
band, and unless this band fitted very nicely
and snugly the handle was likely to wabble
more or less. The modern folding handle
umbrella or parasol has joints 30 made that
when the umbrella is set up complete for
use the Joints are invisible and the whole
handle Is as rigid a solid stick
instead OF being held together when
Strengthened out in place by a sliding band.
the sections Of the handle Of modern fold
Ing umbrella are screwed together.
The tip of the folding umbrella can also
be folded 26-inch folding umbrella with
handle and tip folded can be laid diagon-
ally inside 24-inch suit case. Big, modern
long stick parasols are now made with han
dies 5ointed SO that they can be carried in
trunks
But while in this modern revival Of fold
Ing handle parasols and this present day
5ointed handles are largely of this new
form Of construction there is now made
and sold a smaller folding handled parasol
called a parasolette In which the old-fash-
Toned sliding band to cover the joint is re-
tanned. This little parasol has also a joint
In its stick near the top. so that Its top
when opened can be turned down against
the stick. in which form It might in some
circumstances be conveniently useful as
protection against the sun. one Of the uses
OF the parasolette being found in driving.
Closed, and with its handle folded, the para
solette Is scarcely more bulky or cumber-
some than good-sized folded fan, and so II
can be conveniently carried.
There are now made for those who desire
them umbrella cases Of sole leather, the
umbrella case, which Is among the newer Of
the many and varied forms in which lug
gage equipment is nowadays to be found.
being slender and tapering but stout
leather holder of size sufficient to contain

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 24.-No one who was
| seen in Wall street this morning apparently
looks for any material change in the
stock market this week. In view Of the
further exports OF gold. which are con-
fdently expected, and the preparations for
the large July disbursements, 1t is as
sumed that all stock market operators will
be duly conservative. Somewhat easier
monetary conditions. temporarily at least,
are looked for after the 10th or 18th OF
next month. unless the European demands
for gold from this side are larger than
are now looked for. It is believed, how
ever. that the tendency Of the money mar
ket little later on will be toward more
stringent conditions than have existed in
recent weeks.
The idea Is becoming more universal
that the probability Of general depres-
sion in business late this year and early
next year will be used as factor in the
general political situation. and that con-
sequently It will be difficult to get an ac-
curate idea Of actual business conditions
and as to whether they will warrant any
material falling of in the volume Of trade.
Men who have come to town during the
last day or two say that no one except
the closest observers can discover any
changes in general business. but they ad-
nit that few months hence a very far
recession would be logical.
1t Is intimated that the recent relative
been due to quiet buyers on the inside who
realize that the company's affairs are in
considerably better shape than they were
q few months ago. The congestion in traf-
AZ hot ~t.ko TO-. 49,

with cars with reasonable degree Of
promptness.

The rather sharp decline in Sloss-Shef-
field preferred stock has attracted some at
tentfon Inside interests say that the divi-
dend on the common stock Is assured for
another year at least. They base this
statement on their knowledge Of the orders
already In hand and those which are prac-
tically assured. The full dividend on the
preferred stock Is declared a year in ad-
vance before any payment Is ordered on
the common. The weakness Of the pre-
ferred is attributed altogether to the ex-
treme dizziness and narrowness Of the
whole market. O..
The sentiment with respect to the Erie
issues Is gradually improving. A promi-
nent official of the company says the year
just closing will easily be the largest in the
history of the company. The management
was able to secure on favorable terms the
money needed to build two important cut
ons and 1t is predicted that when the
credit situation generally becomes better
the Erie. by reason of its large earnings.

ably more favorable terms than has been
the case in recent years
