They are going to hear of
the department of their pa

Horace Mann Home and

AROUND THE CAPITAL
Bv JOHN SNURE, Jr.

Judge Gus A. Schuldt frowns
down from the Police Court
bench on those mendicants who
beg for aims on District streets.
He recently learned what it
means to be in the position Of
begging for food.
Several years ago, Judge
Schuldt bought dinner at an
old Maryland estate that had
been converted into a tavern,
and was so pleased with the food
that he recently took a group of
friends there for a meal.
When he knocked on the door
the butler answered. Said
Judge Schuldt:
II want food"
The butler drawled:
BEG pahdon!. Madame isn't
serving tea tOday!"
Judge Schuldt scurried off
after learning the estate had
been purchased by well-kncwn

strenuous complaint is that her
illness prevented her from see

Sickler, who always has been
known for his antics around
various schools of the city, said
when seen in Traffic Court re-
Gently, that he was expecting to
settle down next year and study

friends it will be a laughing
matter if one is sick. Assistant

Pep for the Tired

Larsen, the bearded patriarch
of the lengthy locks, waves his
stick at the passing throng in
more than a friendly gesture.
Interested in the man who is
a familiar sight on Washington
streets. a patron of a restaurant
asked Larsen recently why it
was that he chose to stand on
those corners which we're most
heavily infested with traffic.
He says Larsen replied:
"Tired statesmen, Congress
men, diplomats, and others,
drive by.

SLASH IN LIGHT
RATES PROMISED
Public Utilities Commission
Says Scale Justifies
Pairing in 1885.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day issued formal statement prom
ising a reduction in electric rates in
1895. The statement confirms articles
previously printed in The Star pre-
dieting the decrease.
The statement contains nothing to
show how much of a decrease can be
expected This is a subject on which
the commission staff is now working
but the figures cannot be complete
until the December returns are in.
The statement said:
Rates for electric current in the
District have been reduced each year
for nine consecutive years by order
of this commission. and while it is
conceivable that there may be a
point beyond which no further reduc-
ton is possible that point has not
been reached.
rates for 1885. However, neither we
nor any one else will be able to
state with any assurance the extent
of such reduction until the results
of the operations for the present
calendar year are known. These
facts will not be available until about
the middle of January.
Since last August we have had
corps of engineers and accountants
investigating the rate base and other
facts of record of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co., preparatory to the
annual hearing usually held in Janu-
ary or February. While it is true
that the prevailing rates for electric
current in Washington are far be-
low the national average, that fact
has no bearing on the determina-
ton Of local rates"
