FOR STREET DIRECTORY.
Post Office Department Opens Bids
for Printing

The contract for printing the new street
directory of the principal cities of the
United States has not been awarded. al
though the proposals of ten bidders which
were opened at the Post Office Department
Saturday are known. The last street
directory was printed in 1894, and is now
out of date. The department had at its
disposal $4,000 for the preparation of a
new edition, and its aim in advertising for
proposals was to secure the greatest
number of books possible for that sum.
This resulted in the bidders furnishing
proposals from number of varying
bases, so that without a number Of calcu-
lations, which have not yet been com
pleted for submission to the Postmaster
General, 1t was impossible to determine
which was the best proposal.
There were bids from the Wynkoop.

cUs1CK TIRED OF LIVING.
Dies in Three Minutes After Swal-

Dies in Three Minutes After Swal-
lowing Cyanide Of Potassium.
ITS all over now" remarked George
T. Cusick, who was employed as q chem
ist at the navy yard, yesterday afternoon
about 2:3O o'clock after he had swallowed
small quantity of cyanide of potassium
In less than three minutes after he
made the remark he was dead. Cusick
was at the home of Harvey Stansbury, a
friend, 723 7th street southeast, when he
ended his life, having eaten dinner there
about an hour before he took the fatal
dose. His body was removed to the
morgue and Coroner hewitt notified. The
coroner made an investigation, gave a
certificate of death by suicide and the
body was removed to Sergeons' undertake
ing establishment to be prepared for
burial.
Cusick. who was thirty-two years of
age, lived at 81 10Th street northeast
1t was stated to representatives of the
coroner yesterday that he had been drink
ing recently and had been advised that
he would lose his position unless he
braced up. Saturday night he told friends
that he was tired of living. His wife
had died more than two years ago and it
was said that he was brooding over her
loss. Yesterday afternoon he repeated the
statement that he was tired of living
and said he was going to kill himself
Leaving the home of his friend, Cusick
got the poison and returning to the 7th
street house raised the bottle to his
mouth. One of his friends made an effort
to knock the bottle from his hand, but
did not succeed until after he had swal-
lowed some of the poison. Members of
fraternal organization with which he
was connected will have charge Of the
funeral.

CITIZENS WILL FIGHT.
East Washington Association
Urge Removal of Prisons.

At the meeting next Monday evening of
the East Washington Citizens Associa-
ton in Donnelly's Hail. it is expected
an interesting report will be submitted
by the executive committee. The report
will deal with conditions at the jail and
workhouse. and will form the basis for
another report to be made to the prison
committee and committees of Congress-
1t is the belief of members Of the as
sociatiOn's executive committee that the
matter of the removal of the two prisons
and other institutions from the eastern
section of the city will be presented in
such a manner that those in authority
will sanction the project. 8. W. Curri-
den is chairman of the committee in
charge of the prisons. and he has been ac-
tive in gathering data.
Members of the association intend to
wage the fight against the retention of
the institutions in question in the eastern
section of the city until something is ac-
complished and they will seek the aid of
other associations. Already the North
east Washington Citizens Association has
taken action on the proposition.
Only few days ago there was a total
Of more than 1,1OO prisoners in the jail
and Workhouse. The number of prisoners
in the jail has been decreased by send
ing a detachment to the penitentiary, but
still there are not many short of 500 in
generated there.

TAKES BIBLE As HIS TOPIC
LARGE GATHERING ADDRESSED
By FRED B. SMITH.
International Secretary Of the z
M. c. A. Tells Of the Work
Being Done.

THE Bible was the subject used by
Fred B. Smith. international secretary Of
the Young Mems Christian Association.
and one of the foremost evangelists in the
| country, in his remarks in the Auditorium
of the new Masonic Temple yesterday
afternoon. His audience was large and
his treatment of the subject held the
enthusiasm of his hearers throughout.
He laid much stress upon the i'm
portance of studying the Bible systemat-
icaly. The association, he said, Is en-
gagged in teaching Christianity to more
than 100000 men and boys In all parts of
the world. He declared that he is not
what is termed a worshiper of the book.
but regards the Bible as of value in all
that 1t teaches Of life.
The Bible, he said. is its own best de-
Tense. and it is its own best interpreter.
He referred to the test it has been put
to in the last LOO years.
Remember he said. 1.-The Bible is not
a book of history: it does not pretend to
be scientific treatise, much as it has
of value in both of those realms 1t
does not pretend to unfold the plan Of
God in the creation of the world in de-
TAIL as does the biologist, the geologist
and the astronomer. 1t is content to say,
In the beginning God created the heavens
and the EARTH and leave the details for
the scientific to discover.
This book has one fundamental mes
sage: to explain the plan of God for the
salvation of world through Jesus
Christ. When you take the Bible out of
this zone and seek to apply the tests of
science history you are in trouble con-
stantly."
After the meeting more than 100 young
men professed a desire to lead better
lives and made applications to enroll as
Bible students.

FISH ARE PLENTIFUL.
Largest Catches in Years From
Lower Potomac for This Market.


More fish Of all varieties are caught on
the Potomac at this time than there have
been in several years. River steamers on
every trip bring large shipments from
the nets in the lower river to the dealers
here
Aboard the steamer Harry Randall,
which arrived here yesterday evening.
there were nearly a hundred barrels OF
fish for the Alexandria dealers She also
had aboard about fifty barrels consigned
to dealers at Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York.
The steamer Northumberland. which ar
rived early this morning from lower river
landings, also brought up large consign-
ment to the Washington fish market.
Perch. both yellow and white; rock,
bass. mullets, mud shad. catfish, cells,
carp, with scattering of other varie-
ties, constitute the bulk Of the catch
being made by the river nets. A few
weeks ago fish were SO scarce in the Po-
tomac that the fishermen thought they
had gone for good and were about to
take up their nets.
than were caught In a week them. Not
only Is the catch large In the Potomac,
but reports coming from the coast of New
Jersey and other points that supply this
market state that the catch there Is I'M
usually large.
So abundant is the supply from the
river nets that the dealers here have
Cancelled all orders for Jersey fish, and
have cut down their supplies from the
Chesapeake bay fisheries.
The receipts of oysters in the shell at
the local oyster wharf are also heavy
and it is estimated that there are fully
5000 bushels of the shellfish aboard the
boats lying at the wharf. The catch in
the Potomac has been very large this
year, and it has been many years since
the oysters were as fat and as fine in
flavor as they have been this fall. The
Potomac oyster this season compares IA
vorably with oysters taken from the cele-
brated beds In Chesapeake bay. They are
selling at prices ranging from so cents to
$1.25 per bushel.
