An Important Step.

To the Editor OF The Star:
It has been suggested that one of the
most important changes that could be
made in the present administration Of the
pension office would be the change from
the payment quarterly to a monthly one
The reason is manifest. The government
officials and employees. from the President
to the humblest charwOman. receive their
salaries twice month. Presumably they
need 1t.
Why. 1t is asked. is the veteran soldier
made an exception? Has he reached such
a stage that he can subsist on faith and
high prices? Why not give him a
chance for the few remaining years al
most he has to live? Why compel him to
nav higher prices for room, clothing and
food simply because he can't pay cash
He needs his money as do the officers and
others who receive good salaries at reg
ular intervals of two weeks.
Commissioner Davenport and the pen
sion committees Of the House and Senate
will make a fortunate hit and receive the
gratitude Of veterans everywhere if they
take such stops as Will secure monthly
pension payments with the opening OF
July next 1t will be q source of untold
blessing both to the pensioners and the
general public.
Here is the golden opportunity.

CLANS AND CRABS COMING.
Taking the Place of Oysters on 18th
Street Wharf.

With the close of the oyster season
on the Potomac river clans and crabs
are taking their place in the oyster
houses on the 18th street wharf, and the
demand for them is growing heavier each
day. Already several small jags of
clans have been brought to the market
here in vessels from the eastern shore
Of Virginia. from whence the bulk OF
the supply used here is obtained, but
by far the larger potion of the receipts
come in barrels by express and freight.
So far the receipts Of hard crabs have
been small, the bulk Of the stock now
on the market coming from bay sources.
No crabs to amount to anything have
been caught on the Potomac, but about
June 1. or even earlier, they will be
caught by the thousands. and the steam
ers arriving here from Coan river, the
Wicomico, COltons wharf and other
points will be bringing them here by the
hundred barrels each trip. No soft crabs
are on sale as yet, but the dealers state
that IL the warm weather continues
they will be coming in a short time.
Yesterday afternoon CLAIMS were selling
at 90 cents per hundred, and crabs $500
per hundred.

OVERHAUL PLEASURE BOATS.
Preparing Small Craft for the Com
ing Cruising Season.

A new dory hull built by Chiseldine on
the WicOmico river. Md. for Capt
Stephen Davis of Alexandria is at that
port being fitted with its engine and ma
chinery in preparation for pleasure cruis-
ing on the river. An eight-horsepoWer
gasoline motor is to be installed in the
vessel, and 1t Is expected that she will
make a speed of about ten miles an
hour.
The yawl yacht Eleanor, one Of the
local fleet Of pleasure craft, Is out on the
marine railway of the Consolidation Coal
Company at Georgetown for a general
overhauling. In addition to such wood
work as may be necessary the hull of the
vessel is to be calked all over and she
will be cleaned and painted before being
put overheard.
A new engine has been placed aboard
the power launch TamOse at Regan's
boatyard and workmen are now connect
ing it up and making the launch ready
for service. She will probably be
launched early in the coming week for a
trial of the new motor, which Is ex-
pected to give her considerable additional
speed.
The large launch Neptune, belonging to
Capt. Dallas Knowlton. which has been
out Of the water at Regans since last
fall. Is ready to be launched and will be
put overheard this week. She will go into
service as soon as launohed.

SCHOONER IS TOTAL WRECK.
Old Trader at This Port Goes Ashore
During Heavy Gale.

The schooner o. D. Witherell, which
went ashore on the Fenwick Island
shoals, at the entrance to Delaware bay.
last week. and which will prove a total
loss. was a We'll known trader to this
port She was one Of the fleet Of coasting
vessels that was employed in bringing
ice here in the summer months, and
she used to be in port here several times
each season. 1t has been about three
years since she was last here. The YES
sci struck in heavy gale. The members
of the crew were rescued, with difficulty
by means of the breeches buoy.
The Witherell halls from Boston, and
John NJ. Ward Of Boston Is her MANAGING
owner. She was vessel of 6S1 gross
tons register, and was 148 feet long. She
was built at Bath, Me. in 1874 and has
always been a successful craft.
The vessel has been abandoned by her
owners. and wreckers from Lewes, Del,
are stripping her Of all articles Of value
The hulk will probably be left for the
wind and storms to destroy. which will
take but a short time on the gale-swept
shoal on which the vessel lies.
