ACCEPT THE SITUATION.
Citizens Make No Further Protest
Against District Stable.

1t is stated that no further action will be
taken in connection with the decision rem
dered by the District Commissioners yester-
day to erect the stable of the District water
department on lot Immediately in the
rear of the handsome new pumping station
on Bryant street northwest, by either the
North Washington or North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Associations
Both of these associations worked ear
nestly against the location of the stable in
the neighborhood. Upon the announce
ment that s'"Jle was to be erected on
site at Bryant and Cd streets, the two
associations protested vigorously that
the Commissioners decided not to erect the
stable there and after loo.:.ng over the
ground decided upon the site in the rear of
the pumping station. This was also OBJ
jected to by the associations, but after
carefully entertaining the protests of the
citizens of that section, the Commissioners
decided that the stable would not be a
menace to the neighborhood and decided
accordingly.
Mr.. w. G. Henderson of the executive
committee of the North Capitol and Ecklng-
ton Citizens Association, stated today that
although the stable was not wanted" in
his section he does not see any use fighting
longer, las the Commissioners have given
their decision, and further protests would
avail nothing.

JAIL FARE AND FLESH.
Prisoner Discusses the Governments
Regular Menu

The recently published story about an
inmate Of the District Jail gaining seven
teen pounds in weight during a compare
lively brief period of Incarceration has
drawn a wall Of protest from the initiated.
In fact, one man who has been SO unfor-
tunate as to spend some time as the in
voluntary guest Of the municipality in the
big institution foreninst the Eastern branch
has seen At to draw a most sarcastic COM
parison between the foodstuffs furnished to
the regular inmates Of the jail and tho
daily menu which, he declares, was pre-
pared for the especial delectation OF the
prisoner who gained in avordupois.
He ought to gain seventeen pounds" de-
clares this man in writing to The star
Amy man who gets chicken, Strawberries
tomatoes, cream, toast and sweet coHee
cannot help getting fat"
But his word-picture Of the rations 1ur-
nished to the jail inmates in general IS
painted in an entirely different color, ana
he can see no visions OF himself or any OF
the other prisoners acquiring nice, comfy
punches OF embonpoint on scant two
meals a day; but meager as he says the
daily fare is this man would not Volun-
tarily subject himself to worse, and in
postscript to his letter he has said: THE
reason l don't sign my name is because II
they found out my name that would put
me on dry and l would starve to death. l
have only a little while to stay here.
For the benefit of those who have never
been sent to jail 1t might be explained that
being put on dry means that a prisoner
will be segregated from his fellows and fed
on nothing more substantial than bread
and water. No mistake can be made In the
quantities of food served in the JAIL ac-
cording to this story, because a full weekly
menu Is attached to the letter. 1t reads
follows:
Monday, O'Clock breakfast-Four prunes,
bread, coffee, l potato.
Tuesday, 8 o'clock breakfast-Rice, bread,
coffee, syrup.
We'd esday, O'Clock preakfast-Hash,
bread, coffee, potato.
Thursday, o'clock breakfast-Rice,

Friday, o'clock breakfast-Fish, bread,

Saturday. o'clock breakfast-Hash,

water.
Thursday-Soup, meat and corn bread.
Friday-Bean soup, corn bread, water.
Saturday-Soup, corn bread, meat.

pended an explanatory note in this strain:
