The District Commissioners granted
Mr. S. S. Daish, whose bid for supply

a rehearing in the matter. Mr. Daish's
bid was lower than that of W. M. Gait &

fused after the hearing to change the
award, basing their refusal on the ground

Daisy Chain Hospital Fnnd.
Congress has Just appropriated a sum of
money to enable the Oartield Hospital to
erect a building for contagious diseases on
or near Its present grounds, and the au
thorities of that corporation have asked the
Daisy Chain Hospital to pay over to the
Garfield Hospital the money in its hands
to aid that purpose. A special meeting has
been called in pursuance of the by-laws of
the Daisy Chain Hospital, to be held Octo
ber 15, 1898, to take action upon this mat
ter. Those Interested and who may be un
able to attend the meeting are requested
to communicate their views to Mrs. Archi
bald Hopkins, 1826 Massachusetts avenue,
Washington, D. C.
The corporators who have signed the spe
cial notice for a meeting are of opinion that
a transfer of the funds of the Daisy Chain
Hospital to the Garfield Hospital will be
substantially carrying out the purposes of
the Daisy Chain, and believe that it is
the only practicable way of doing so with
in a reasonable tune.

the sentries, "Turn out the guard,' accom

in a few seconds the brave soldiers (?)
again appeared, some in their 'night shirts'
and carrying their guns, and some with
but wlth no pantaloons
or belt. Ike Weir, formerly of the gov
ernment printing office, crawled up a small
tree. He had no trousers on. As the horses
came down the street he attempted to go
higher, but slipped and fell, straddling a
tent and sending forth a screech that would
have caused a Comanche Indian to turn
green with envy. His yell caused a break

Tribute to Wm. R. Woodward.
At a special meeting of the board of chll- I
Wren's guardians, called to take action upon
the death of the late president of th? board,
William Redm Woodward, and held at the I
rooms of the board Thursday, a memorial
was adopted as the expression of the senti
ments of the board, which was ordered to
be recorded in the minute* of the board and
copies to be transmitted to the family of |
Mr. Woodward and to his father ana mo
ther. The memorial recited that:
"William Kedin Woodward fillsd many
places of usefulness, but none more admir
ably and completely than the presidency of I
the board of children's guardians, and his
loss from it cannot be repaired. Coming to I
the board without expenencs in its peculiar
work, he was so fitted by his persona! pow
ers and traits, especially by his Judgment,
tact and sympathy, for it that his election
to the office of president followed naturally
at an early day.
"The choice was soon shown to bs an
eminently fit one. In his courteous, saga
cious and sympathetic performance of his
duties, whether presiding at meetings of
the board or of its executive committej, or
representing it in court or before commit
tees of Congress, he had the respect and
regard of every number and employe of the
board, and tho confidence of every one else
with whom he had to deal.
"The board deslreB to record this expres- i
sion of its grief at ths great loss that has
befallen it, and to extend Its deepest sym
pathy to the bereaved family of its late
president."

PREMATURE - PATRIOTISM
' Violations at the Lrw*Forbidding Use of
Exjiotilres.
Back of Three Fined Ten
Dollar*?One Otctler Pardoned?
Severity of Penalty.
Charles Hemllng, a butcher, who lives on
12th street northeast,. was In the Police
Court this morning charged with setting
off firecrackers on the street last night.
"Guilty," wa3 his plea.
"Ten dollars," said Judge Kimball.
"Tour honor," Interrupted Mr. Hemling,
"I" plead guilty, but was ignorant of the
law."
"Ignorance of the law is no excuse,"
the court said. "I'm afraid you don't read
the newspapers."
"Your honor," said the young man, "I'll
tell you how it happened. Last night I
went to the Chinese laundry with my little
girl and the Chinaman gave the child a
few firecrackers. The policeman was in
the neighborhood when I set them off, and
had I known it was a violation of law I
certainly should not have touched them."
"The law provides the penalty and you
will have to pay the fine."
Exploded Torpedo.
A similar charge was made against a
small colored boy named Joseph Jones.
He thitw a number of torpedoes on the
sidewalk.
"X learned where the boy had bought the
explosives," said Policeman Coohran, "and
I wanted to pr^ecute the dealer, but learn
ed tha' X coulun't do it."
"Here we have a small boy," said Judge
Kimball to Prosecuting Attorney Pugh.
"What shall I do with him?"
"Do what the law says," replied Mr.
Pugh. "If your horor don't do it you will
violate the law yourself."
"But he's so small," the court said.
"It's the small boya who violate this
law," Mr. Pugh said, "men don't set off
"Yes, they do," added the Judge. "We
Just had a man in here for it."
"Then," said Mr. Pugh, "he ought to
have been sent to jail."
Judge Kimball finally Imposed a fine of
$10. The boy's mother was unable to pay
the fine and the little fellow was sent to
the workhouse for cne day.
Seivaboy Next.
Frank Cleveland, eight years old, and a
Star newsboy, came near going to the work
house this morning because h? set off a fire
cracker on the street last night. Judge
Kimball fined him $10, but agreed to let him
s?.rve but one day on the farm in default.
This meant that the boy would havt to
swelter in a cell in the court building for
some time before being sent to the farm,
where he would remain over night. But
the District Commission:? came to his re
lief, because of bis youth and physical con
dition, and pardoned him. Frank now has
the distinction of having been arrested,
fined and pardoned all within twenty-four
hours.
Whan the case was called in Judge Kim
ball's court the fatlur of the brfy appeared
and pleaded for his release.
"Let me take him .home," pleaded the fa
ther, "and I'll sea that, he violates the law
no morj."
Judge Kimball recalled that the little chap
had bean arrested before, and remarked:
"Your boy's no angel."
"I know he's not an angel," replied his
father. "I wish hs was."
The boy admitted his guilt and said he
had spent two cents for fireworks last
night.
"Where did he get money for firecrack
ers?" Juclga Kimball asked the boy's fa
ther.
"He had 2 cents yesterday morning," was
the answer, "and he bought an extra Star
ftom a boy end sold it. He repealed this
transaction until he had made 70 cents,
and on his way home he spent 2 cents for
fireworks."
"Can you pay Us finer* the father was
a?ked.
"No, sir,"-was his answer. "I only get
$25 a month, and when I paid my bills yes
terday I didn't hrve ary money left."
Mr. Cleveland, who lives at 317 8th street
northwest, works for one of the steam rail
road companies.
Pardon Proonred.
After the boy had been sentenced a Star
reporter interceded in his behalf, and suc
ceeded in procuring the pardon from tha
Commissioners.
The boy is very neivous, and his father
says he has nervous spells at night.
Judge Scott has written a letter to the
Commissioners calling their attention to
this law. The penalty, Judge Scott thinks,
is entirely too much, as the lowest line is

EXCURSIONS.
Monday win be a great day at Mount
Vernon and Marshall Hall. Both thcso
places will receive their full share of
pleasure seekers on the Fourth. Tho^e
who wish to be patriotic in a quiet way
and enjoy the nation's holiday away from
the din and smoke of fireworks will find
Mount Vernon an ideal spot to seek. And
it is especially fitting that the tomb of the
Father of His Country should be visited
cn the Fourth, for without the help of
this great man, Independence day might
have been a memory instead of a roali'v.
Those who wish to prove their patriotism
by the amount of noise they make should
go to Marshall Hall. No restrictions have
lieen made as regards the setting .ff of
firecrackers, etc., and the children can
bang away to their heart's content wl'h
out fear of being disturbed. Extra pre
cautions will bo taken to see that no dis
order mars the pleasure of any one. Prof.

When looking for a good place to cperd
pie Fourth, one should not overlook the
i:tneflts that can be derived from a visit to
colonial Beach. It is the only salt water
beach within seventy miles of Wsu-h'ng
'?n and you can spend two full days at
the beach by taking the Steamer Jane
Moseley tonight at 0:30 and returning on
Monday night in time to get a good night's

very reasonable and a small outlay will
suffice to give you a glorious outing on a
KiOrlous day. The entire trip tonight w'll
have the benefit of a full moon. ManyTt

IN CASES OF ILLNESS.
Petition* for the Prohibition of Fire
work? Monday.
Numerous requests have been made to
the District Commissioners by persons in
whose houses members of their families
are lying ill, praying that the firing of
crackers, firearms and fireworks ln the re
spective neighborhoods on the Fourth of
July be prohibited. These requests, the
Commissioners feel, should be respected,
and they have suggested to the parties in
interest that they secure permission from
the health office to place ropes at the street
corners, as is done in cases of extreme ill
ness, explaining that the police will be In
structed to do everything possible to pre
vent the evils mentioned in such neighbor
hoods as may be thus designated. The
Commissioners have no desire to limit or
restrict the celebration of Independence
daj , and they believe that where ropes are
erected as signals of illness in the square
the boys and all others will restrain their
explosive patriotism in that neighborhood.

Effort to Compel the Iananoe of a Build
ing Permit.
Mr. Bliss Takra Hla C?ae Into Court?
Cuuatrncllon of UaildlaK Hrga
Intiona tm Oaeatlu*.
The hearing on the application for man
damus died by Alonzo O. Bliss, to compel
the District Commissioners to issue to the
complainant a permit for a family hotel
building on 16;h street between K and I>
streets, began In Circuit Court No. 1 this
morning at 10 o'clock, l.efore Justice Cole.
Mr. Bliss was represented by Mr. A. 8.
Worthlngton, while the Commissioners
were represented ty Mr. S. T. Thomas, at
torney for the District, and Mr. A B. Du
vall, his assistant.
Mr. Bliss seeks a permit for construction
of a building on ICth street, to 1>? 110 feet
In height. The permit v as refused on ths
grounds that. 16th street Is a residence
thoroughfare and that the building regula
tions do not allow an excess of i*0 feet in
height on such streets. The height of build
ings is governed by section 40 of the regu
lations. which provides that In no case shall
a building exceed SW feet in height on a
residence streit, nor HO feet on a business
street, except on avenues 160 feet wide,
where a height not exceeding 130 fiet may
be allowed when th? lot is of sufficient
frontage and depth. In the Judgment of the
Commissioners, to Justify the same.
In the petition for msudamus it ip urged
that the exceptu n as to avenues 160 leet
wide applies to resiaet.ce as well as bus
iness streets, and that as 16th street Is 1(10
feet wide the Commissicners are violating
their own 'aw In no\ issuing a permit for
a height of 110 foet at that point. The con
tention Is that the word "avenues" applies
to all streets, and that Mr. Bliss' lot is ad
mitted to be of sufficient frontage and
depth to Justify the erection of the llo-fcot
building. Justice Cole allowed the first
contention that "avenges" applies to all
, stieets of the city.
Answer of the Commlaalonera.
Attorney Thomas read the answer of the
Commissioners to the complainant'* peti
tion, which consisted of three sworn state
ments. The first affidavit, that of the Com
missioners, denies that the word "avenues**
In the regulatic i applies to 16th street, as
it Is a resldeace street. The Commissioners
further aver thit buildings of the charac
ter proposed to be erected In this case are
proper subjects of regulation as to their
height; that in any such building above
eight stories (the proposed Bliss building
la to be nine stories) It is impossible for
firemen to extinguish tires; that necessar
ily in the construction of such buildings
they are shsatl ed with a thin masonry,
and in case of fire on either side the ma
senry would part and fall away, leaving
tho steel and ironwork exposed, to be fused
and warped by heat, resulting In the whole
building being thrown down; that such
buildings, so far as danger to life and limb
by fire is concerned, are but tall chimneys;
that they obstruct the light and ventilation
of adjoining buildings, and materially in
terfere with the draft of the chimneys of
said buildings.
The affidavit of Mr. Ashford, assistant
inspector of buildings, points out the dan
ger of high buildings of Eteel construction.
The third statement is from Chief Parris
of the fire department, who points out the
difficulty of extinguishing a blaze in an
eighth story, and declares that the longest
ladder in the Washington fire department
is eighty-five feet, or sufficient only to
reach a seventh story. Chief Parris re
lates his experience with the patent office
tire some years ago. and the recent fire
of the Capital Traction Company's power
house, in which, when the iron beams hold
ing the floors became heated, they twisted
and threw down the walls. The disposition
of iron and steel construction in buildings
is to collapse under the influence of fire,
and to force out the walls, which greatly
imperils the lives of firemen and the safety
of adjoining buildings.
Mr. Worthinglon'a Rejoinder.
Mr. Worthlngton declared that the Com
missioners had not answered the single
point made In the petition of mandamus,
which was the construction of their regu
lation as to 100-foot avenues; whether it
applied to residence as well as business
streets. He was not controverting at this
time the reasonableness of the regulation,
but he believed It might be successfully at
tacked. What the Commissioners said re
garding a fire in an eighth story applied
to any building of that height, whether
located on a business or residence street,
and to set it up as a claim in this case
was to admit that they had framed a dan
gerous regulation.
The question at issue In the case, and the
only one, was whether or not the excep
tion allowing buildings over ninety feet
high on avenues applied alike to residence
and business streets. The petitioners claim
that it does.
Attorney Thomas spoke on the reason
ableness of the height-l'mitlng regulation,
saying that such laws were in force In all
the large cities. The regulation was
brought about by the sky-scraper craze be
gun with the erection of the Cairo.
Mr. Duvall argued that the distinction be
tween business and residence streets was
Intended to extend throughout the regula
tion, and that it was intended that no resi
dence street should have a building over
ninety feet high, no matter what the width
of the street might be.
The Derlalon Deferred.
Justice Cole stated at 12 o'clock that he
would be unable to decide the case today,
and that as he was about to leave the city
he would forward the order of the court
in the matter some time next week, so
that the parties Interested might not be
delayed until his return, the 1st of August.
Judge Cole said he would not undertake
to decide the question of sky-scrapers as
a whole, but would confine himself to the
points in the mandamus.
The question at issue in this case Is In
teresting, and much Importance is attach
ed to its final disposition. At a few min
utes after 12 o'clock court adjourned.
It matters little what It is that you want?
whether a situation or a bervant?a "want"
ad. in The Star will reach the person who
can fill your need.
"Didn't Do n Thine."
Michael Curtis, a young man who has
given the police considerable trouble dur
ing the past few years, was In the toils in
Judge KimbiU's court this morning, charg
ed with disorderly conduct on 25th street
several nights ago.
"Mike was drunk," said Policeman Heara.
"I warned him three times about his dis
orderly conduct."
"Was he profane?" Inquired the court.
"Very much ro." answered the officer,
"and when arrested he was profane all the
way to the box."
"Judge, your honor," said Mike. "I
didn't do a thing. I v as sitting In front of
my own house, and the policeman arrested
me for nothing."
A penalty of $10 or thirty days was im
posed.

Mr. Edwin Dunkcrly. who reeldee next
door to the Washington Foundling Asylum,
and who last year complained of the an*
niiyano* caused by the crying of the little
one*, recently filed another complaint with
the District Commissioners. Mr. Dunkerly
claimed that the crying of the babies
amounts to an Intolerable nuisance, depriv
ing him and his family of rest, and greatly
depreciating the value of his property. He
criticised the management of the asylum
and charged that the Investigation last
year of the Institution by the grand Jury
amounted to nothing.
The Commission! i s referred Mr Dunker
ly's complaint to the Dlstrct superntend
ent of charitiex. Mr. Herbert U'*ia. who
submitted the following report;
"The experlenece of the board of chlN
dren's guardians shows tHat In the Dis
trict of Columbia foundlings can be and
are cared for In a manner causing an
noyance to nobody, and with the average
death rate about one-half ar great as th^t
of the Washington Hospital for foundlings.
The experience of St. Ann'a Infant Asy
lum is precisely similar. Sister Agues, the
matron in charge, says th? only way to
keep the babies alive is to board them out
with nurses, and that is the practice of
thai institution with all children under one
year of age. If the institution complained
of would adopt a similar plan the annoy
ance In the neighborhood would cease, and
if the nurses were properly selected and
supervised the rate of mortality would be
considerably reduced."
Just what action, if any, the Commission
ers will tajte in the matter the}' have not
determined.
