We commend the conservative, up

wherein there has been extravaganza
or mismanagement in state affairs.
While it is trne that an additional
outlay has been required to properly
provide for public institutions. by
practically the unanimous vote of the

The Richards resolutions were re-

many essential respects from those

On whether Richards was to be accept

delegates had already gone to catch

Richards was to himself as

0 create a sensation on Tuesday MON
ing Of this week and show the rest Of
the college that there was some life
left in the institution. Accordingly
they appeared IN the campus in big
tailored corduroy trousers and maroon
shirts. The juniors evidently did not
like the looks of this combination and
prepared to spoil them by daubing the
chapel seats with molasses. When
they found that this would avail moth
ing them decided to smear the seniors
trousers with ink and arming them
selves with ink they descended on
eight Of the engineering students OF
the senior class and a lively scrap en-
sued in which the juniors outnumbered
the seniors three to one. This result
ed in the members Of both classes be-
ing badly smeared with ink and the
juniors suffering considerable torn
clothes. After this both classes went
to chapel where the juniors had failed
in their attempt to render the seniors
seats unacceptable. The seniors are
still wearing there ink besmeared
trousers and class spirit is still at the
point of ebullution.

The first ~inter-society debate of the
season was held in the college chapel
on Saturday evening, February twenty
sixth. The affirmative was upheld by
the Miltonion Society which was rep
resented by Messrs H. H. Biggar, F.
Yocum and Edwin Grotta. The Ath-
enian Society argued the negative and
were represented by Messrs. Henry
Erdmann, Edwin Sharp, and Carl Oak
land. The debate resulted in a deci-
sion of one to two in favor of the mega
tive. Both societies held social recep-
tons in their respective halls after
the contest.

soon evident that not much could be
saved from the flames, those who left the

Until after noon today the charred

BIG BLIZZARD RECALLED.
Storm of Last Night Dates With
That of 1899.

The great blizzard of 1899 was recalled
when the citizens of the District heard
the gale whistling icy solos in the caves
of their dwellings last night and the sleet
and snow cracking against the window
panes. And when they arose this morn
ing to find the earth snow covered and
vegetation wearing an immaculate garb
of white they felt sure that Washington
had again been visited by a record bliz-
card, but they were agreeably disap-
pointed.
BY a coincidence the blizzard Of 1899
came on February l. and continued sew
eral days, completely tieing up street
traffic.
The storm of snow and wind which
swept over this city last evening was
on schedule time, as predicted by Fore
caster Edward b. Garriott, and during
the late hours of the night and the early
morning meteorological conditions were
most disagreeable.
At late hour last night rain and
sleet succeeded the falling snow. The
weather bureau gauges show that nearly
snow and rain in the night there was
more than half an inch. The storm pass
ed away from the District early this
morning. The lowest temperature re-
be no considerable change in present
conditions, except slight fall of the
mercury tonight.
This was the most severe snowstorm
of the present winter" was the comment
of the official forecaster this afternoon.
The street cleaning department of the
District government had a large force of
men. carts and wagons employed today
in removing the snow and slush.
Street cars experienced considerable
difficulty last night while the storm was
at its height. Trailers were taken off the
main lines and single cars run.

NEW QUARTERS OPENED
MANY VISITORS INSPECT THE

The Old Dutch Market was formally

ment and inspected its model equipment.
The market was decorated for the occa-

and an orchestra, playing catchy airs.
gave a still more festive aspect to the at
fair. Carrying out a plan to make the
opening night memorable one, the man
agement gave away to callers more than
5000 Holland tulips.
So far as the decorations of the es-
Establishment are concerned, the Old Dutch
Market well deserves its name, because
the walls are tiled within a few feet
of the top, and on the border in blue
and white typical scenes in the land of
bikes and bitches have been painted One
of the chief attractions of the store is
the refrigerating plant. Everything is
inclosed in glass. The great sides of
meat and the poultry and fish are visible
hooks or lie on shelves in the refrigera-
tor, which is kept well below the freez
ing point by cold-air system. The
cases, where cut meat and the fish and
with electricity, and they. too. are con-
nected with the refrigerating system.
Throughout the market the best posi-
BILE sanitary measures are observed. The
meat to be sold is cut by one operator
who stands continuously in glass-walled
addition to the refrigerator, and the cuts
in the cases are arranged in various sizes
to suit the needs of different customers
Thus the meat is handled only once, and
it is never. exposed to the dust Of the
open air or to the possibility of contami-
nation from much-used cutting blocks.
The arrangement is different from most
stores, in that the glass cases and count
ers are in the center and are circular in
form, so that the space for customers is
unusually ample. Specially constructed
springless computing scales make it pos
sible for trade to be handled with great
expedition.

POST OFFICE Department
WILL SET ITSELF RIGHT
Arguments Regard Second-Class
Rates, Founded on Error, to Be
Riddled With Truth.

Spurred by the criticism of his posi-
ton with reference to the rate Of post
age on second-class mail matter, Post
master General Hitchcock is preparing to
meet his critics with counter statements
and arguments.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Stewart has been commissioned to pre-
pare an article which will deal with er-
rors and misunderstanding in the argu-
ments advanced by those who differ with
the department. recommendations con-
corning secondclass matter.
Frequent reference has been made, it
is explained, to the alleged fact that
Canada. whose second-class rate is but
fourth of a cent pound. conducted
it's service last year at a profit of 81 Co.,
600. Unfair comparison has been made,
it is claimed, between the service of the
express companies and the department
at the same bulk rate of charges.
Other matters are said to have been
misrepresepted in like manner to put
the Post Office Department in a false
light.
Mr. Stewards article, which, 1t is said.
will be the first of its kind ever issued
by the department, will be followed by
Others If necessary, until the position
of the department in its consideration of
the second-cla mail rate is clearly and
correctly understood. 1t will appear,
probably, the early part OF next week.

ects already approved or extensions there
Of will be favorably reported from the
Senate committee on irrigation to the

the committee today. The bill was in
troduced by Senator Carter. and was
amended by the committee.
One of the amendments which the COM
mittee framed will enlarge the scope of
the work to be done with the proceeds
Of the sale Of the certificates.
Enlargement of Scope.
The committee struck out the provision
that all money borrowed under author
ity Of this act shall be devoted exclusive
ly to the completion Of work on projects
heretofore begun

the following clause:
THAT all money borrowed under au-
thority of this act shall be expended IN

as have been heretofore approved by the
Secretary of the Interior and m the con-
struction of such extensions thereof as
may be proper and necessary to the sue
tenance of the projects, or to protect wa
ter rights claimed by the United States. :
Another amendment, regarded as inn
portant by the committee, provides that
no irrigation projects, to be paid for out
of the proceeds Of the sale of public
lands, shall be begun unless and until
they have been approved by direct order
Of the President. The Secretary OF the
Interior has had this power and this
amendment is designed to transfer the
final say in such matters to the President.

emption from state, municipal local or
United States taxes or duties of the GER
tif1cates OF Indebtedness. The certificates
