aiartad. Mr. Allgood and Mr. Dlllard hnd
nude about equal averages, so tar aa the

examiner's Investigation, which showed
that he would be satisfactory to more
I patrons than would Allgood. taction 8 of

I opportunity to select their man. Inasmuch
' aa the applicant must be a person who has
a good reputation in the community. Pro
testa from patrons In any case are always

Is a colored man, and there never has been

postmaster stated that he was fully com
petent. In the case of Allgood, the examination
and Investigation were made by a special
agent, whoxe home Is In Tennessee and
who Is familiar with the conditions there.
The agent states that while he gave the
preference to Dlllard In his report, he
thought Allgood would make a very satis
factory man In case Dlllard should not ac
cept the appointment. The examination for
these routes was made as early as May ltt,
1902. No protests have been received In the
cases either of Franklin or of Allgood.

Honor la a; Doit Shepherd.
On Monday last Washington honored the
iremory of the late Alexander R. Shepherd,
the regenerator of the national capital, by
following hla remains, which were brought
from Mexico, to their last resting place in
the beautiful cemetery known as Rock
Creek. Already a fund has been started
to erect a substantial memorial to the man
who twenty-five years ago overturned all
precedent, took the reins in hla own hands,
and made Washington what It waa In
tended to be, the moat beautiful city In the
wofld. To Alexander R. Bhepherd more
than all other men combined Washington
of today owes Ita existence, notwithstand
ing that In his life time he waa pilloried
as an odious political boas, It la only fit
ting that hla work should be suitably hon
ored. I Out there are two other men, private
Vltlzons, who are doing much individually
lYr tha capital of the nation.. One of these
Is Joseph E. Wlllard, at present the lieu
tenant governor of Virginia. Up to elk or
seven years ago Mr. Wlllard waa compara
tively unknown in Washington. He was
living tha Ufa of a country gentleman In his
beautiful place In Fairfax county, Virginia,
which was the home of hla mother. Hla
tether was one of the wealthiest real estate
'owners In this city, who allowed his hold
Vngs to remain unimproved year after year.
(When he died the son Inherited his prop
Jtty and lost no time In improving It. He
first acquired the half Interest In Wlllard'a
hotel owned by his uncle, and through his
efforts a trust company was formed which
promptly erected one of the handsomest
and most substantial bualness buildings on
on portion of tha property. Next he built
a fine office building on one of the sight-li-Mit
corners of P street, on a lot which
had been an eyesore to the neighborhood
for twenty years or more. Then he fur
nished and Improved all the minor build
ings which he Inherited from hla father.

has adopted the reverse policy, and pros
perous business Is conducted todny In stores
and offices which for decades hsd no occu
pant. But the greatest of Mr. Wlllard s
Improvements consisted In tearing down tha
historic Wlllard's hotel, which sheltered
during Its days statesmen and soldiers by
the hundreds. Upon half the site there
was first erected a modern, fireproof, up-to-date
hotel, ten stories high, which has
been filled with guests from the day It was
opened, and now the remaining portion of
the site Is being adorned with an additional
structure which, when completed, as It will
be within a very few months, will give
Washington what It has never had before,
an absolutely first-class hotel. Governor
Wlllard Is also Interested In a company
which proposes to erect a new Sl.ono.ono
hotel In the vicinity of the union depot
soon to be erected within a few blocks of
the capltol.
What Tom Walsh Is Reins;.
The other benefactor Is Thomas P.
Walsh, a Colorado millionaire, who brought
his wealth to Washington some years ago
and haa been spending It In beautifying the
city ever since he came. Mr. Walsh i
ready has one of the most beautiful resi
dences In the fashionable northwestern
section. Today he Is pushing to rapid com
pletion a fireproof office building within n
Work of the treasury and quite recently
he has acquired by purchase title to an
other old hotel site with the property ad
Joining, which, as soon as the lease ex
pires, he proposes to Improve by erecting
thereon still another up-to-date hotel with
all the conveniences, but which will be lew
expensive for visitors than the Wlllard.
In other words, Mr. Walsh saw an oppor
tunity to give the traveling public the very
latest In the way of hotel facllltlee at me
dium prices, and within the next five yea-s
Washington will In consequence be pro
vided with better accommodations In this
direction than any city of Its slxe In the
country.
Joseph B. Wlllard and Thomas F. Walsh
are comparatively young men. It Is to be
hoped thst It will be very many years
before the cltlsens of Washington will be
called upon to pay tribute to the memory
of either of them. But there are no private
cltlsens In the national capital today who
are more entitled to the praise of their
follows than these two gentlemen, who
have Invested their means to such good
purpose In the Improvement of the char
acter of the architecture of the city of
Waahlngton.
Popularity of Hew Chinese Minister.
The Indications are that the new Chinese
minister will very soon be as popular In
Washington aa his predecessor, Mr. Wu
Ting-fang. Sir Chen Tung Liang has won
the hearts of the people wherever he has
appeared In public. He speaks English
with even greater facility than did Mr.
Wu, and he la mixing with the Americans
In every possible way. Ills children as
sociate with American hoys and are al
ready popular among them. The members
of hla entourage are likewise acqu'rlne;
American ways as rapidly as they posMbly
can, and the publlo schools of Washington
have enrolled among their scholars quite
a number of Celestial children, who, whllq
unable to speak the language of their
playmates, are rapidly learning Kntlls'i
words and acquiring the knowledge Im
parted In the kindergartens. One of the
amusing sights these spring mornings ip
the receptions which are dally held by the
almond-eyed little girl, rerhape S years
of age, who attends one of the pub ic
schools In the vicinity of North Fourteenth
street. At first this little lady was ac
companied by a Chinese gentleman wear
ing the costume of a mandarin. Now sho
goes alone, and before she gets within a
block of the school houe she Is sur
rounded by a small army of youngster.)
of about her own age, all eager to do tha
honors of the morning. This little Chlnesn
lady has already leArned nil the :nloor
games with which American youngsters
are familiar, and If she keeps on aa she
s going at present, ahe promises to bs-
come an expert at the American game of
base ball, aa she haa developed great fond
ness for and some prol'oiency In that sport
of the American youngster.

LINCOLN. May 10. (Special.) These are
days when the gentle xephyrs carry over
the backyard fence extracta of the ruffled
tempers of the gardener and the chicken
raiser. Daya when the common law right
of a chicken to scratch In a neighbor's
garden is disputed by the neighbor. The
war Is on In Lincoln and already the courts
have been called upon to decide between
the man scratcher and the chicken
scratcher.
For many daya Allen C. Reddish, who,
notwithstanding his name, Is a chicken
fancier rather than a gardener, and Ander
son Homer who is the reverse, have each
tried in hla own line of work to scratch
out a living. Mr. Reddish Is. or rather was.
tho possessor of a yellow leg rooster, the
head and brains of a large following. This
rooster's proper scratching ground Is about
the Reddish garden. But Mr. Rooster to
get for his following the best In the land,
left the premises set apart for him and
at the head of the family slowly mean
dered down to the home of Mr. Bomer.
There young radishes, that were entirely
unlike the young Reddishes, he knew wero
Just sprouting and so were many other
little delicacies. And Mr. Rooster began
to scratch and cluck and chuckle. Mr.
Homer came home about that time and
scratched around for ' rocks. He found
them and Mr. Rooster did a hot foot Into
the bam of Mr. Bomer. The owner alao
went In the barn and how It happened no
one was able to toll the court, but tn a
very short time Mr. Bomer came forth
with Mr. Rooster hanging limp and life
less In his hand. Very tenderly and
quietly he, carried Mr. Rooafer to the Red
dish home and with a little twist of the
wrist deposited all that was left of him on
the porch, where Mr. Reddish found him
some time later.
After due deliberation Reddish had Bomer
arrested for malicious destruction of prop
erty and the case was tried before Judge
Cosgrove yesterday afternoon. The Judge
decided after listening to much evidence
that it was not proven that Bomer killed
the rooster even though he chaaed him In
the btarn and carried him out. Conse
quently the defendant was discharged.
Deaad to Have a Wedding;.
The Eagles carnival to be held here May
IS to 23 promises to be right smart of an
entertainment and to that end much)
preparation Is being made. The manage
ment laid great stress on the fact that a
couple would be married before the eager
gaze of the assembled multitude, when the
events were first made public. This pub
licity so worked on the bride that ehe
balked when It came to signing up the con
tract, and the groom refused to take unto
himself another girl. Again, however, the
carnival management went Industriously to
work and as a consequence letters of ac
ceptance are being received by the score
snd the marriage will surely take place.
Many presents are to be given the couple
and they will be placed on exhibition in a
few days.
