LA\D LOTTERY* NEARLY OVER.
lilnt of I'rlae Winners Will Be Com
pleted Today.
A dispatch from El Reno, Oklahoma ter
ritory, last night, says: Two thousand or.e
hundred names were drawn from each
wheel in the great United States land lot
tery today, making the grand total 8.700.
The list of prize winners will be completed
tomorrow. The drawing of numbers will
continue until about 10,000 names for each
district shall have been drawn from the
wheels, making a total of 20,000.
As there are about 13,500 claims in the
new country, the drawing of 20,000 names
will go beyond the point where persons
above 13,.K>0 tan get land. The remaining
envelopes will draw blanks, but as the
commission desires to Impress the public
with the fairness and honesty of the draw
ing, every one of the KUVOOtt envelopes will
be drawn. When, the names entitled to
homesteads, however, have been exhausted
the work to follow will be merely perfunc
tory, and will be done as rapidly as possi
ble.
Commissioners of the drawing are noti
fying by postal card each person who
draws a number. The card also gives the
date upon which the recipient must appear
at the office of his respective land district
and file his entry. The date upon which a
man must appear to make entry is easilv
determined, in each land district 12.j per
sons will be permitted to file daily. Those
holding Nos. 1 to 125 must file August 6;
12i> to 250, August 7. continuing in this
manner until all the homesteads in each
land district shall be filed upon.

Photography In the Parks.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I have been much interested In the arti
cles on "Photography in the Parks" which
have been published in The Star, and espe
cially the one explaining why permits are
necessary, in Tuesday's issue. I see
absolutely no argument In favor of the per
mit system, and the only reason given by
Colonel Bingham's office is that curious
people are liable to gather around the
camera, but the fact that the photographer
has a permit would in no case ailay the
curiosity of the people, and besides, the
park officers have ample authority to dis
perse any crowds which may obstruct the
walks or injure the grass. Should the
photographer not have a permit, he could
be required to leave the park If he caused
any undue excitement, blocked the walks
or injured the grass, but, armed with a
permit, the officers have no authority to
deal with him as their judgment prompts
them.
The part of the article which relates to
visitors using the ground for picnic pur
poses and throwing greasy papers in the
flower beds has no bearing on the matter
whatever, as greasy papers aic not used
in phc/tography, and the officers have
authority to, and should, deal promptly
and effectively with such persons. The
fact that in the ten years which this order
has been in effect no one has been d^.iiod a
permit shows conclusively that the permit
system of harassing the public is a useless
bother, and that no good reasons for it can
exist.
Whatever Colonel Bingham's office has
done to preserve the beauty of the public
grounds (and it has done much) is certainly
commendable, but any unnecessary re
strictions it has placed on their legitimate
use are worthy of criticism.
I sincerely hope that this unjust rule of
ten years' standing may soon be done away
with. 3Y" . R. M.
The Milk Prosecutions.
To the Edit<?r of The Evening Star:
Being one of the vifctlms;of the law who
failed to sell milk up to .the standard, I
beg leave to say that great injustice Is
being done to the retoil dealers. I believe
in a pure food law, also seeing it rigorous
ly enforced, but trust that the time Is not
far distant when the large dealers who
furnish the small ones will be held respon
sible. The identical milk sold to me by the
jobbers is the milk I sold to others. Un
less the authorities inspect each and every
can and jar that contains milk in their
place of business and their wagons they
will at all times claim that pure milk was
left at the stores. Y. D. PETERS.
Reunion of Confederate Veterans.
The confederate veterans of Westmore
land and the neighboring counties in the
northern neck of Virginia, had their an
nual reunion at Montross a few days ago
and it was a most enjoyable affair. After
a dinner, at which the veterans and their
friends were the guests of the people of
Montross. the old soldiers formed in line
and marched arount the monument erected
to the memory of their comrades who were
killed in battle, and after depositing flow
ers on it, the line of march was taken up
to the new court house building, where ad
dresses were delivered by Wm. M. Mayo of
Richmond, Thomas Murphy, Henry Hor
ner, Wm. Palmer, C. C. Baker and others.
"Wife Appenlw for Divorce.
In a petition for divorce which has been
presented to the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia by Catherine E. Hughes
the plaintiff accuses her husband of cruel
ty, non-support and habitual drunkenness.
The parties were married in this city in
June, 1897, and have no children, although
Mrs. Hughes is the mother of five little
girls by a former marriage. She recites
a number of instances of alleged cruelty
practiced upon her by her husband, and
asks that he be restrained from further
mclesting her. The defendant has been
notified to show cause the 3d instant why
he should not pay his wife alimony during
the pendency of the suit.
Fined for Swearing.
William H. Grooves, who conducts a
truck garden on Sumner avenue, was cul
tivating a cucumber patch yesterday after
noon, when Policeman Stewart heard him
swearing.
"He was swearing at a horse," the officer
said to Judge Mills this morning, "because
the animal was inclined to go the wrong
way."
Grooves said he may have used bad lan
guage, although he did not remember it.
The court fined him $3, which he paid.
Knocked Down and Painfully Hurt.
Thomas Gaffney, sixty-flve years old,
who lives at Brick Haven, Va., was struck
by car 439 on the Metropolitan railway near
17th and I streets northwest about 9:15
o'clock this morning, and knocked down.
He was painfully injured about the head.
The Emergency Hospital ambulance was
summoned, and he waa-removed to that in
stitution. *3
Mr. Gaffney was standing near the corner
of 17th and I streets waiting for a car, and
he got so near the. traclss that the car
struck him. While his injury is painful, he
will probably be able to return home this
evening or tomorrow^ V
