President Cleveland occasionally makes an appointment which is above criticism. Ho did so when he selected Mr. James P. Willett to bo postmaster of Washington. ThatHr. Willott will' make a modol post master Is tho opinion of everybody who has said anything upon tho subject Ho lias pre cisely the qualifications requisite to make a splendid official. He is courteous and pleas ant; he has a superb business training, ac quired during a long and successful mercan tile career, and ho enoys tho confidence and esteem of the people of Washington. It goes without saying that 3Ir. Willett will enter upon the duties of his new position With the best wishes of all who know him. He will And that his predecessor has left the affairs of his office in excellent shape. He. Sherwood has been a most efficient official, but even better things will be ex pected, if possible, of Mr. Wilier, for with tho progress of tho years the raarch of improve ment must keep on. The Times believes that Mr. Willett will more than keep up with the procession. The President deserves especial commenda tion for the character of this appointment. He has abundantly vindicated the home rule principle, and done much to relievo himself of the odium of tho Taylor appointment. The Times is pleased to congratulate tho President, Mr. Willett, and tho people of Washington uponamost felicitous conclusion of tho amiable contest for tho postmastership of Washington. m VOTES TOE HILL, VOTES TOE TAMMANY. "Every vote for Hill is a vote for Tammany Hal! and all that it implies." These words really were the keynote for tho address made by Hon. Carl Sehurz at thoWhoeler mass meeting in New York last Monday night In estimating tho weight or significance of Mr. Sehurz's utterances it should bo borne in jaind that ho is not an office-holder; that, so far as the public is aware, ho is not at present on aspirant for office, and that ho has an unas sailable record as a political reformer. That Mr. Schnrz is very muoh of a theorist, even a visionary, in public affairs even his best friends will not deny, but bo must his worst enemies admit that ho is thoroughly hon est in his Sorts to purify the political atmosphere. In considering his remarks, therefore, one can start with the premises that he says what he means and means what he says. Mr. Sehurz's opposition to Tammany is not nnvthinc of to-dav or yesterday. Almost from the vory beginning of his residence in New York ho has lent his voice and voto to combat its policy and its candidates. In sea eon and out ol season he has cried out against the abases chargeable to that organization, against tho corruption which finds in Tam many both its instigation and inception, its apologist and advocate. He has never failed to arraign it before tho people of city and State; in short he has done all that lies in the power of one man, oithor by preeept or ex ample, to break or weaken if power. In view of his attitude as a private citizen, as a man upon whom party ties sit lightly, as one who is sincerely devoted to reform in local, State, and national government, as ono dis interested so far as emolument of office is concerned, Mr. Sehurz's words deserve more than passing attention. If "every voto for Hill is a voto for Tam manny Hall and all that it implies," then it were woll that Hill should never acain sit in tho gubernatorial chair. If evory vote for Hill means tho perpetuation of misrule and corruption In the chief city of the country it would bo a blessing to have him acfeatcd. If evory vote for Hill will tend to still furthor saddle upon tho national Democracy tho onus and stigma of Tammany's support and, to a largo extent, of Tammany's domination, every good Democrat in the country not a member of or sympathizer with that machine ought to rejoice at its downfall. Tiewed in this light Mr. Sehurz's words ap pear like an Inspired warning. ITEE DEPAETHENT NEEDS. If there is ono department of tho District government more in noed of Increased appro priations for oxtonslon and maintenance than anothor it is tho flro department Tho necessities of this department aro well known. They havo been presented again and again to Congress without response. In his latest report Ohiof P arris makes a fresh plea for more liberal treatment that ought to lie heeded. He says that more apparatus is required to secure adequate flro protection, that nn ad dition to tho force of firemen is essential, and that 300 more fireplugs should bo located. These things are needed .because the growth of the city in area and population daring tho past fow yoarB has been very largo. The fire department, however, has not boon extendod commensurately with this growth. dtiBons of Washington aro familiar enough with these facts. Thoyhavo been ventilated at meetings of the board of trado and of citi zens' associations, and tho expressions of sentiment at these meetings have been uni formly in favor of tho improvement and en largement of Washington's facilities for flro protection. Chief rarris also makes some excollcnt rec ommenaations concerning tho pay of firemen and the establishment of a relief fund. Thoro is no doubt that firemen are at present inad equately compensated, and inasmuch as one half of the increase will go into tho pension fund, thoro seems to bo every reason for granting an increase of pay. Tho relief fund is a deserving project, to which no objection can be found in the mind of any person ac quainted with the dangerous nature of tho duties performed by our brave flro laddies. Tee Tikes hopes, with Chief Parrls, that 14,817. Congress will give duo heed -to tho request of tho flro department for an appropriation large enough to cover its actual necessities. No mora is asked for, and less will be an injus tice to tho District -- Gov. Waite's silenco is becoming posi tively Clevandesque. --o-t While the rest of tho country is in tho ex citement of the fall campaign, a largo part of tho population of Philadelphia has tho im pression that they are going to vote for some body or other nort spring. A New York paper Is charged with paying $100 for an Interviow with Lomuol Eli Quigg. Tho proprietors should sue for libel. -o- While tho Duchess of Marlborough easily leads In tho number of her reported engage ments, our Lillian Russell Poruglnl, et al still outclasses all femininity in tho real altar article. Mn. McKiKLEr is much annoyed that so many men in his audiences have chosen to mako real mean interrogation points out of themselves. If Tnn Japanese Emperor wants to heap coals of flro on the head of LI Hung Chang ho might send tho shivering viceroy a nice warm winter overcoat. -- The fellow who has been so frank and free with his political prognostications is now getting ready to say "I told you so." The total of Chicago's registration shows the extreme to which Frank Lawler may reach in bis next petition. Hox. Tiar Catbell points with scorn to the fact that his political adversary onco used the phrase "It is I" and other forms of slng- songy talk. - Thebe Is just a possibility that Mr. Mc Millan will bo tho Brutus in tho Senatorial campaign of Julius Cmsar Burrows. -- Police Cojejiissioser Sheehax gives us to understand that tho nominal salaries paid New York municipal officers are not by any means tho phenomenal ones. Those newspapers that guy tho Salvation Army should bolster up their circulation to tho 1,000,000 mark of tho official Army organ before inviting invidious comparisons. What between Hohenlohe-Schilllngfuerst going out and Hobenlohe-Langenburg com ing in, tho people of Alsace-Lorraine stand in danger of getting badly mixed as to tho indentity of their governor. -BOSTON SYKPHONY ORCHESTRA. The Concert Was, as Usual, a Fashionable Event and Drow a Largo Attendance. Tho fourteenth season of tho Boston Sym phony Orchestra was inaugurated in Wash ington last night when the first concert of tho series was given at Metzerott Music Hall. Al ways an object of interest to tho music lovers of tho capital whoso name is legion tho concert was as much of a fashionable ovent as has been tho custom in tho past, and as largely attended. The'chief interest In tho programmo cen tered around tho Schumann symphony in O major. Of Schumann as a composer It may be said that ho was essentially a master of color. Ho possessed to a rare degree tho art of bringing out tho lights and shades of har monic tints, and in none of his works is this rare faculty so well shown as in last night's symphony. Especially is this so in tho third movement, tho adagio expressive. It is tho delicato side of nature in musical tones tho soft rays of the moon and tho babbling of gentle 'brooks told through the modium of strings and wood. It is a creation full of sen timent, and ono that appeals to the poetical side of its listener. Schumann wielded this power more completely porhaps than did any other of the great composers, although Beet hoven Is not far behind. Of the interpretation of this masterpiece it need only be said that tho orchestra was in perfect form, and that tho high colors and tho delicate tints wero given their relativo value, that nice degree of shading which makes tho work of this orchestra so famous. To most of tho audience Qoldmark's over ture to "Sappho" was a novelty, and a very pleasing one. Tho opening bars for tho harp alono are curiously suggestive and appealing, and as tho thomo dovelops and Its truo mean ing Is detected tho full strength and vigor of tho composer is shown. There is not only charactor and strength about tho overture, but it has a quality of sweetness and music which makes it intelligible to tho amateur, which is perhaps a point in its favor when there is so much straining after effect among modern composers. Mrs. Julio M. Wyman was tho soloist Sho has a well-trained and powerful voice, but It is lacking in sympathetic qualities. Mr. Emil Paur conducted as usual, and the work of tho orchestra showed tho result of his trained hand. HUftOR IN THE POLICE COURT. Trial of the Hall Case Enlivened by Pugh's Wit and Smith's Repartee. An amusing incident occurred in Judgo Miller's court yesterday afternoon during the trial of Gcorgo W. Hall, who keeps a saloon at Eighth and G streets southwest. Tho charge was tnat Mr. Hall had sold liquor to minors. William Klug, a fifteen-year-old white boy, testified to buying two bottles of beer in Hall's place and drinking it on tho outside. Tho beer was sold to him by Mr. Hall's brother, Charley, who has no connection with the place whatever, during the proprietor's tomporary abseneo. Tho boy testified that whon asking for tho boer ho said Mr. Mullow noy had sent him for it "What Mullowney? Alexander B.?" asked Prosecutor Pugh. "Oh. no," replied Mr. C. Maurico Smith, who appeared for the defense. "You can't put it on our friend Mullownoy, tho assistant District attorney." A general smile followed and tho boy ex plained that he meant another Mr. Mul lowney. After hearing ovidenc that showed that Mr. Hall had no intention of violating tho law, and tho testimony of policemen and others as to his oxcollent character and the correct con duct of his saloon, the jury promptly returned a verdict of not guilty. CALLED CORRIDON A LIAR. Another Lively Scene in Judge Kimball's Branch of the Police Court. The Ho was passed again in tho police court yesterday, and tho offender was promptly punished. David S. Townsend, of No. 1013 H street northwest, was being tried before Judgo Kimball on the charge of creating a disorder and using profane language on tho premises. Mr. J. J. Corrldon, from whom Townsend rents his apartmots, was on tho stand. Ho testified that Townsend had frequently beaten and otherwiso maltreated his wife. "You aro a liar," shouted Townsend, rod With rage. "Sit down, sir," said Judgo Kimball. "You aro fined ?5 for contempt of court, and tho same amount for disorderly conduct" - Woman's Army and Navy League. Tho Woman's Army and Navy Loaguo was Incorporated hero yesterday. Its torm Is twenty years, and tho signers of tho articles aro Jane E. Augur, Josephine P. Kolton, Emma Kcmble Antrem, Louisa G. Davis, Harriet S. Bradford, and Cornelia J. Chau wlck. There are to bo for the first year ten directors. Tho object of tho league is tho spread of Christian knowledge, and tho pur pose is to co-operate with tho chaplains and officers of the Army and Navy at military posts, hospitals, on United States ship3, and and at tho navy yards. It is to be tho Army and Navy auxiliary of tho Ladies' Union M's sioa School Association, SOCIAL SAYINGS AND DOINGS. While cupld rings tho wodding bolls that bring happiness to tho heart of lovo's vo taries, somo other agonoy must prompt young married peoplo to como to Washington on thoir wedding tour, for truly no other city can so clearly substantiate tho claim of being tho Mecca for bridal couples. In fact ono of tho principle sources of revenuo for our magnifi cent hotels is tho elaborato and profltablo en tertainment of newly wedded guests. Nor is Washington behindhand in furnishing bridos and grooms, and as tho favored season for uniting in wedlock approaches, announce ments of those happy events aro mado daily. Probably tho most conspicuous and notablo wedding chroniclod for tho season is tho ono that takes place at high noon to-day, at tho residence of Secretary und Mrs. Carlisle, whon Miss Mnttio Thompson will bocomo tho hnppy bride of Mr. William Leonard Davis, of New York. Tho bride-elect Is a tall, slen der, graceful brunette, whoso beauty and ac complishments havo mado her a great social favorite. Sho is tho daughter of Col. Phil Thompson, ox-Congressman of Kentucky, now a well known attorney. Miss Thompson is also a groat favorite with Mrs. Carlisle, whose guest sho was last winter. Tho groom eloct is a wealthy Colorado mino owner, who onco resided in Georgetown, but whose busi ness Interests havo made him a citizen of tho far West Tho newly wedded couple will visit Tuxedo and spend tho winter at Colo rado Springs. Tho arrangements for tho coromony nro ex tensive and elaborate, probably more so than any that have been mado on a similar occa sion in this city for a number of years. Tho floral decorations aro more costly and beauti ful than any over bofore found in a Washing ton residence, and it goes without saying that tho trousseau and presents of the bride aro more expensive and elegant than often fall to tho lot of a woman. Tho marriage coromony will bo attended by tho immediato families of tho brldo and groom, the mem bers of the cabinet, a3 woll as oy many in vited guests from New York, Kentucky, and other places. llev. Maukay Smith, rector of St John's Church, will perform tho coromony, after which a recoption will bo held between the hours of 12:30 and 3 o'clock p. m.. to which 200 guests havo been invited.

Tho brido wore a lovely gown of white moire silk with a chiffon collarette, and car ried white roses. Two of the Dridesmaids wore whito china silk and chiffon gowns, and tho others wore handsomely costumed in gowns of whito silk mull. Each maid car ried whito and lavender chrysanthemum bou quets tied with broad whito satin ribbons. A reception followed tho ceremony at tho homo of tho brido's mother, Mrs. Kessler, No. 1403 H street, which was attended by tho immedi ate friends and relatives.

GOOD BUYING IN COAL SHARES Grangers Hold Fairly iWoll and Gainod Slightly During tho Day Covoring of Short Contracts on tho Active List tho Sustaining Influenco. New York, Oct. 30. Tho share speculation to-day oponcd irregular, and continued un settled during tho first hour, whon, under the covering of good selling, a pretty general im provement was recorded. Thero wero a fow reactions, but tho main tondoncy was toward higher figures. After midday a fractional re action took placo, which was quickly checked. During tho last hour prices again moved ir rogulor, but in tho final trading better tones prevailed. Tho sustaining influenco of tho market was tho covoring of short contracts in tho activo list which had boon sold down during tho past fow days in tho general attack ,ou values which had followed tho raid on tho coalors. Tho boars seomod to havo come to tho con clusion that it was dangerouB to put out any new lines in tho coal Btocks and endea'ored to cover on tho best tormB possiblo, consequently thoy mado demonstrations against tho gen eral list to weaken tho tono ot too man:et. while thoy took back their anthracite stocks.

The Times reporter has accumulated more evldonco pertaining to Dr. Shado. 1232 Four teenth street, and his successful treatment of tho many consumptives than can possibly, bo Riven to tho public through tho columns of Thk Tisies for weeks and months to come.

Mr. Wise says ho has gained five pounds during tho past month since taking tho mineral treat ment for consumption. Ho has gone out Into the country to spend a few days oa his Virginia farm, but will return soon to seo tho doctor again to bo under his immediato care. Rev.
