started the ball rolling over the prospec-

posed to the investigation throughout and
sat frettinS and fuminS all through the
long and wearisome debate until the time
came to offer his amendment striking out
the provision. Mr.. Henry of Texas had a
little sport at Mr. Ievy's expense. never
dreaming that the House would eliminate
a provision which IS generally supposed to
be desirable to Mr.. Henry. but some other
more vigorous takers than Mr.. Levy
came to the rescue of that bebadgered
gentleman. and when the votes were
counted, the legal counsel was stricken

No Obstacles in Way.

With the necessary funds available
for the acquisition of the new site. and
the delay of condemnation proceedings
to be dispensed with. owing to the
fact that favorable optional prices
have been obtained on nearly all the
ground. there are now no obstacles in
the way, it is pointed out to prevent
the early presentation to Congress of a
plan for starting work on the reforma-
tory.
A survey of the Occoquan ground is
new being made by a large force un-
der the direction of District Surveyor
Melvin c. Hazen, and will be complet-
ed within a week or two.
Whether an initial appropriation for
buildings will be recommended to Con-
gress at the next regular session is not
known. but there is believed to be lit
tie doubt that the board of charities
will be in favor of starting the work
at an early date. None of the members
of the board could be located last
night. The board has not yet present
ed a detailed plan to the Commission
ers, so that the District heads are
without information as to what rec
concentrations they may be asked to
consider.

Hair Splitting All the Time.

All this time the House had been amend
ing the resolution, hair splitting over
terms. but in a conscientious effort to
tighten the resolution and broaden its
scope. Finally Mr.. Mann served notice
that if they didn't quit gabblng and pass
their resolution he would demand a
quorum at 3:45. He allowed that it was
a Saturday afternoon, pretty hot and
some members wanted to get out II
town.
Whether they thought he was bluffing
or what not, they disregarded his threat
and were in the midst of a spirited dis
cussion over the meaning of the term

sleeves of his pongee coat from his heat

For First Offenders.

The institution, as its name implies.

persons who feel the arm of the law for

Difference of Opinion.

Two years ago, when the matter was
last under consideration by the char
tiles officials and the Commissioners, a
difference of opinion developed as to the
character of institution needed The
problem will be taken up anew. as it
will fall to the lot of a new board
of Commissioners. to ultimately decide
this question.
Formerly the prime. pal difference. it is
understood, arose over the question of
the character of Industrial training to be
provided for persons confined in the in
stitution 1t is understood that the
board of charities favored farming as
the chief occupation for the inmates.
while Commissioner Rudolph took the
ground that instruction should be given
in diversified trades, so that inmates,
after being discharged. would be IN a po-
sition to look for work in ). ashington.
1t is not unlikely that the reformatory
will become a sort of municipal manu-
featuring institution and will turn out
shoes and clothing for the inmates OF
the Districts charitable institutions.

How "Bilp' Holbein Saved Money.

The editor has been able to save
lot Of money the past few years.
About, three years ago he made up his
mind to buy certain kind of an auto
mobile, but as is usual with the aver
age publisher, he did not see his way
clear to raise the purchase price, so
he waited until next year. This year
the particular brand of auto that he
wanted was lower in price, and the
editor figured that he had made a big
saving. Last year, the same thing
and this year he saved q
lot of money. we understand that
our. auto will be further reduced in
price next year, so that in the end we
will make a substantial sum by not
buying.-"Bill" Holbein in the Lans-
