Sis pe DeaTH_OF AN OLD aNp WELL-KNown Cor- oreD CiTIzEN. — Jefferson Brown, whose @eath was noted in yesterday's obituary column of Tae Star, was one of the oldest colored ¢itizens of Washington, and had a large circle of friends. He came here from Prince George | the eounty, Md., when a small boy as a race rider, and was subsequently a coachman for Secretary Crawford, Hon. Alexander H. Stevens and other prominent men before the war. He was more than 70 years old at the time of his death.

The excessive heat of yesterday, although causing general suffering to both man and beast, did not, so far as heard from in this vicinity, result in a fatal case of sauustroke. A few cases of temporary prostration have been noticed, but in alwost every instance the parties were ad- dicted to habits’ of intemperance. The healthy and robust portion.of the community ap] to have feit very little inconvenience. Upon inquiry among persons who employ many horses, not @ case of death among those animals is reported from the heat. The managers of the street rail- reads as a general thing have been vigilant In proper care of their stock, making the regular trips as light as possible and not permitting any fast driving or overloading. The Beltline make only four trips per day with their horses, which is about twenty miles, and so dividing the time as to afferd plenty of rest and good feeding for the horses. All realize the economy of modera- tion in the use of stock during the heated terms. The livery stable men are all using caution. A well-known livery stable man says a sound, hardy horse, well fed and groomed will do service in this weather aswell as a sound healthy man, and not be much affected by the heat. “In this particular, horses much,resemble men. It is only the weak and sickly animals that suecuinb to the heat. If horses are well grvomed, and care is taken after using them, to bathe them moderately and dry them. properly without exposure to a draft of air, no harm will come from a free use of horses. Another liveryman says that he has kept his horses running steadily, and occasionally th come in appearing somewhat distressed, but by judicious grooming no sickness has been ex- perienced. The Herdic line of coaches use a great many horses, but has met with no loss re- cently by ‘sun stroke. --All the stable men state that the flies are the greatest torment they meet with just now, and horses which have to be driven into the country suffer greatly from the horse flies. They seem to be more plentiful in the country than in town. All sorts of devices are resorted to to rid the horses from them, but without much effect. BUT ONE CASE OF DEATH FROM SUN STROKE has been reported at the health office this sea- son. Of the dead animals but comparatively few horses have been reported; yesterday but three from the day before and none this morn- ing, while there has been many cases of smaller animals, such as dogs, cats, goats, &c. OVERCOME BY THE HEAT. Acolored man named S. Wilson, was pros- trated Ly the heat about 8 o'clock last night on Pennsylvania avenue, between 17th and 18th streets. He was removed to his home, on 23d street, between M and N streets northwest. THE EFFECT OF THE HEAT to-day was noticeable in all the departments. Very little work was done. Everybody was en- gaged in trying to keep cool. The livery stable keepers, as a rule, are not risking their horses by letting them out during the day. They refuse to let anyone have a horse until after 6 o’clock in the evening, except in urgent cases. ——— The Building Boom. MORE HANDSOME HOUSES GOING UP. Mr. J. H. Lee Holcombe, U.S.N., is building a dwelling on New Hampshire avenue, near Pa- cific circle. The lower floor is to be finished in poplar, oiled and wax filled. It is of press brick jaid in black mortar, to be ornamented with moulded brick and carved terra cotta. Special care has been given to the arrangement of the plumbing. Mr. Glenn Brown, 607 Louisiana avenue, is the architect. Miss M. K. Simpson has commenced a private residence on Massachusetts avenue, between ‘9th and 10th, with a frontage of 40 feet. The front and west side wall are of selected _ brick. Jaid in red mortar. The front will be trimmed with brownstone, brownand red moulded brick and some very handsome carved terra cotta. The interior will have (asa feature) a broad stair- case divided into three flights, with two large square landings. The staircase will be sepa- rated from the main hall bya screen comp: of an ornamented beam an 's of butternut. The hall will also have a large fire-place ina conspicuous position, with ornamental butter- nut mantel. Terra cotta daper work will be used in connection with tile around the fire- places. The wood work in first story is of but- ternut, the second story is to be finished in cypress and white pine; all to be finished so as to show the wood in its natural colors. The plumbing is tobe first-class in every respect, with the most approved modes of ventilating the traps, drains, etc., with their properconnection to sewers, porcelain-lined bath tubs, tell tales, ete.; cost, about $7,500. Mr. Glenn Brown, architect, 607 Louisiana avenue. = Mr. Geo, F. Timms is remodeling the store on the corner of 7th and D streets, formerly the “Famous,” in which there will be some novel features. The present store front will be re- ioved and replaced by an iron front, cast from elaborately carved patterns made from special designs by the architect. The windows will have as a novelty a bowed-plate glass encircling the corner; all the iron work to be painted in refined and elegant colors. The interior will have at the back a very prominent and elegant staircase leading from the first to second story. The staircase is to be finished in butternut, with mahogany batusters, there being between the balusters three bronzed panels. ie newels will be made of butternut and mahogany, with hand- carved capitals, corbils, rosettes, &c., all made from special designs by the architect, Glenn Brown, 607 Louisiana avenue. these improvements will be about $8,000, and will make this the most elegant clothing estab- lishment in the city. Mr. Brown is aiso making drawings for re- modeling a frame cottage for Mr. Bradel in Alexandria, Va. The features of this will be tomake it homelike and comfortable, there being a number of porches and other pleasant nooks. Mr. Brown also has the designing of the stations and depots of the eastern extension of the C. & G. R. R. This road is being built from Richmond to New-Port-News, and when completed will make the shortest route from west to Seaboard. The company is making preparations for a large depot and grain ele- ators at their eastern terminus, New-Port- News. — The City Hall Stone-Cutters’ Strike, To the Editor of Tue Star: In your issue of the 4th inst.; in speaking of the strike of the stone-cutters employed by me ‘on the work at the City Hall, you allow them to state that I now have no one employed but incompetent men and apprentice boys. So far as the boys are concerned, I would merely state that they are superior hands to the strikers. The best workmen on the job remained and are now at work, and are numbered among the best stone-cuiters in the city. ‘These parties had a perfect right to leave if they thought the pay insufficient, but they have no right to lie about those who choose to remain. Any average stone- cutter can make easily $3 am paying, but such t who struck last week possibly could not. Rucuarp RoTHwE.L. Seige Food for Thought.

Up to the present time Ihave gotten two hundred and thirteen notes, nearly all well composed andin handwriting. I was astounded. Most of the answers were from Jouns misses Just graduated from or still attending grammar, high or normal school. There was a world of ambition, en and en- terprise breathed forth in those little epistles. One Miss, who wrote the best hand I have seen for many a month said: “I am stilla pupil of the Girl's High school, young and anxious to succeed. I venture to apply for the position.

The work of improving Virginia avenue, be- tween 7th and 12th streets, has been commenced by the contractor, Mr. Lynch, and the grading is now being carried on on each side of the street railroad. This avenue is to be paved with granite block, a new sidewalk laid and trees planted. Repairs are now being -made by Superinten- dent W. R. Smith, of the Botanical gardens, to the grounds surrounding the big fountain. The earth which has been packed upon the Tiber sewer in that inclosure is being removed and levelled. ‘The repiairs to the -conservatory have been completed and concrete foot walks laid | with cut stone edging to the same. About £7,200 | will be expended in this garden during the pres- ent fiscal year.

Frame. recently employed at Mr. | Norris Peter's photo-lithographing establish- ment, and who is going to Scotland ina few days, was presented with a gold headed cane by his fellow-workmen last night at his residence, No 505 Maryland avenue. Mr. A. Levy made the presentation speech and Mr. Frame happily responded. About 11 o'clock thts morning Detective Mc- Devitt arrested a colored boy named Henry Johnson, on 414 street, a few steps from police headquarters, having in his possession a basket containing a quantity of household articles, sil- ver spoons, etc., supposed to have been stolen from 218 4th street southeast, most of them marked “A.J.R.” He was taken to headquar- ters, where he remained dumb as a post, saying nothing. He was locked up for a hearing. Col.

LETTER FROM THREE OF THE REFEREES TO MAYOR BECKHAM. The following letter was sent to Mayor Beck- ham, of Alexandria, Va., umpire, ete., to-day by three out of the four referees-in the recent Glymont rifle match: “We, the undersigned referees in the recent military rifle contest at Glymont, although not required so to do b any of the rules governing said contest, deem it but an act of justice to you to express our- selves as follows: Ist. When you took the mat- ter of decision into your hands you did so because the referees could not come toa deci- sion, as required by the rules. 2d. We each understood this action on your part, took the case entirely out of the hands of the referees, and that you had determined to make a deci- sion, as the rules required you to do. 3d. You distinctly stated that in referring certain questions to the National Rifle Associa- tion you did so solely for the purpose of being better informed upon questions, the settlement of which you were in doubt. You stated, further, that an interpretation of these ques- tions did not bind you to abide by them, but that you would decide as you thought proper. 4th. You were bound to make a decision. You have done so, and we most. heartily endorse the same. Very respectfully Cuas. E. Fraser, HH. E. Barrett, 30. S. SMITH. Note.—Mr. Manson. in his letter of July 29th, to the Secretary of the National Rifle Associa- tion uses the following language: “Did the varying of the rule about the order of firing, done as it was, by unanimous consent, in any affect the validity of the match?” Permit us to say this is incorrect; the referee of the Wash- ington Light Infantry Corps did not consent to the violation of this ru.

At most watering piaces the height of the sea- son comes in August, and from the first day of the month this year, as:usnal, the number of ar- rivals has largely increased here. The company now is quite large, and ev where amuse- ments are offered is’ Hel The hops are so numerously attendeft that it isa question with hotel Heer how to arrange about the dis- tribution of thecardsef:admission. They desire to makean interchange efcourtesies with each other, by each extending caristo some guests of the other hotels where ops are given. and also they wish to allow some-of the agreeable people who are housekeepers ere and some of those who are at boarding aouses to enjoy the hops; and it is of course dimicuit in distributing tickets to so many to avoid shaking mistakes by giving them to some who add tiothing to the pleasures or appearance of the’ hops: by their presence. Even guests of the hotel where a hop is given must have tickets to prevent intruders coming on the plea of being guests of the house. A DAISY SUMMER RIG. T have said so much about the dressing of la- dies at Saratoga that it is time to mention, at | least, the apparel of the other sex. I am giad to say mapy gentlemen here wear summer clothing of light tints and white. I say I am glad, because I grow so weary of seeing black suits perpetually worn that I positively feel grateful when I see a man in a well selected suit of something tise. “Col.” “Nick” Smith (the son-in-law of the late Horace Greeley) wears the most stunning clothes of any of his sex here. In the morning he wears either a full suit of white flannel, or cream tinted flannel pantaloons with a tender grey coat, and a broad brimmed straw hat. He always wears a very low collar; its points turned down in frontto show the contour of his throat. Ata ball he of course wears a black dress suit; but his collar on such occasions is almost. decolletee, so. low is it, especially in front. Like other professional beauties, “Col.” Smith always dfesses and poses to show his best points. Whenever a woman accuses another woman of enhancing her natural charm, by art men say the criticism is founded on jealousy; so let us suppose that the same impulse prompts the men who say that the aforesaid pro- fessional beauty paints his face, and powders his hair, which is turning grey, to make it all one color. . A WASHINGTON TOILET. A very elegant toilet was worn at a hop on Tuesday evening by Mrs. MacArthur, of Wash- ington.- Overa silk gauze, with chené stripes, she had draperies, flounces and fichu of very fine black Chantilly lace. Her long mitts, her fan and stockings were of the same lace. She wore solitaire diamond earrings, diamond pendant and brooches. PERSONAL GOSSIP. At one of Judge Hilton’s dinner parties last week Mr. Corcoran escorted Mrs. A. T. Stewart to the table. Among the others present, in ad- dition to membersof Judge Hilton's family, were Senator Davis, of IIL; ex-Senator Stockton and Chancellor Wiiliamson, of New Jersey; Judge and Mrs. MacArthur, and Judges Brady and Erskine, of this state. Judge Hilton’s wife has lost her voice from ill-health, and cannot speak above a whisper, but was at this dinner. Mrs. Stumpf, formerly Miss North, of Wash- ington, who is exceedingly pretty, is now here with friends from Philadelphia. Admiral Le Roy, to whom she isto be married in ‘the au- tumn, has also arrived here. Their courtship began here last summer, when both were at the same hotel, Gen. Van Vilet made a brief visit here the first of this week, and went to Rutland, Vt., but will return again for a longer stay. He has been ac- cused of being a delegate to the temperance convention, as his visit was coincident in time with its meeting, and ‘he admits that the accu- sation is well founded. Senator Davis, of Illinois, made a visit last week to Lake George and then returned to Sara- toga. He is here for his health, and was not well enongh to take the long journey to Port- land to attend the funeral of his intimate friend, Judge Clifford. He has evidently lost much flesh, but seems very cheerful and is gladto meet Washington friends. General Schenck has gone to join his daugh- ters at Bennington, Vt. Henry Clews, of New York, and family are here. Mrs. Clews, when Miss Worthington, fre- quently visited her aunt, Mrs. Belknap, in Wagh- ington. The navy has been agreeably represented here recently by Vice Admiral Rowan, Admiral and Mrs. Mullany, Admirat and Mrs. Livingstone, W. McGowan and Admiral LeRoy. Admiral Murray and his wife are expected. Vice Admiral Rowan has leased Admiral Shmfeldt’s house in Washing- ton. Mrs. Patterson, who, when Miss Hillard, of Maryland, visited Paymaster and Mrs. Goodloe, in Washington, is here with her husband, and is looking especially well. They have purchased and elegant house in Philadelphia. An evening reception for gentlemen was given in honor of Senator-elect Miller, ot this state, while here, by Judge Sackett, of ‘this vil- lage. Senator Miller expressed his intention of buying a house in Washington; so in that at least will follow the example of his predecessor, Mr. Platt. Mr. Lansing, an ex-M.C, from Syracuse, N.Y., has been here for more than a fortnight. His successor, Judge Mason, who will again repre- sent the Syracuse district in Congress as he has done for the past two years, is expected here soon with his attractive wife. DISTINGUISHED MILITARY VISITORS. The “Worcester Continentals,” of Worcester, Mass., are here on a visit this week. They are composed of gentlemen of wealth and position, and are a very finelooking body of men, to whom their uniferms, in the old Continental style and colors, are very becoming. They were re- ceived on their arrival here by the Saratoga Citizens’ corps, and escorted past the principal hotels on Broadway to their headquarters.

It really seems as if by next December Wash- ington society, as compared to the previous winter, will be altogether made over again as to The changes in the diplomatic corps, in proportion to the numbers that body contains, will be as numerous as among our own people, whom political changes have re- moved from Washington, or altered their rela- tions to its sociallife. Ihaverecently heard, with at regret, that the Brazilian minister, Senor Sorses, and his wife, one of the most thoroughly estimable couples any foreign ernment, has ever ‘sent us, and who ve been with us since 1671, will return no more, as Sefior Borges has been nominated for minister to Vienna and another has been named to succeed him at Wé m. His successor will be Sefior Lopez Netto, who has recently been minister at Montevideo, and who was on the commission from Brazil at the Centennial International Exhibition at Philadelphia.

If one interview with Dr. many doen not ac~ complish more for your head and throat than sil the advertised nostrums used for a lifetime, you pay nothing for it. Hundreds of persons in this | cp are. pleased to testify to the skill and success of Dr. Hartley, but prefer not to have their names and ailments paraded in a public newspa- per. Office and residence, 64 North Greene st. Catarrh manifests itselt by a discharge from the head, varying its nature in different cases, and even in the same individual at different times. It may be a thin, colorless. acrid fluid, or a glary, starch-like substance; generally, how- ever, it is a thick, purulent or muco-purulent matter, either greenish yellow or of deep green tint, occasionally streaked or flecked with blood. So copious and offensive is the discharge in many cases that the patient feels as though his whole head was in a state of corruption, Much of the arge passes backward into the throat or collects ls a tough, viscid phlegm be- hind and above the soft palate, in the passage be- tween the throat and head, creating a constant and almost irresistible desire to obtain relief by “hawking,” a practice characteristic to catarrh, and as embarrassing to the one affected as it iS disagreeable tg those around, Often the phlegm is so tenacious that the most per fent and ex- haustive efforts fail to dislodge it until some food or stimulant is swallowed. Again, the offensive matter deposits itself in the nasal cavities, in the shape of dry,bard crusts, which in some cases accumulate to such an ex- tent as to form a regular plug, obstructing breathing and producing serious discomfort. This | §| condition is indicative of ulceration, which in time may destroy the bony structure of the nose and produce its subsequent flattening, *. OFFENSIVE BREATH. ‘The Dreath is always tainted, and is sometimes £0 revoltingly offensive as to render the sufferer an object of ust to himself as well as toothers, and cases are occasionally met with in which the stench is really overpowing and sufficiently fetid to poison the atmosphere of a whole room. Thus @ person affected with Catarrh lives continually inan impure atmosphere of his own surround- ings, and inhales a poisonous effuvium with every breath, Jn many cases the nose. is stopped up, some- times on one side, sometimes on the other, and often on both, giving rise to a disagreeable, “stuffy” sensation in the head, accompanied by occasional violent and prolonged paroxysms of sneezing. Aguin,a distressing feeling of full- ness or compression is experienced above or be- tween the eyes, or pain manifests itself in the face, forehead or temples, or on the top or back of the head, sometimes of so severe a character that it is taken for neuralgia. The sense of smell is generally blunted or entirely lost, and taste may become similarly affected. ‘The voice is husky or of a nasal character, while oftentimes there is a€ontinual hoarsenc accompanied by more or less cough, excessi debility and emaciation; indced, in’ some in- ces the loss of flesh is so considerable and progressive 2s to suggest the existence of tuber- cular disease, and not a few cases of catarrh that have come under my notice have been regarded as consumption and so treated by unwary or in- experienced practitioners, SPECIAL NOTICE, ‘Thousands of persons are probably unable to place themselves under personal treatment at ¢ Doctor's, so in order to meet the wants and necessities of persons living at a distance Dr, Hartley has submitted to the urgent demands of a large portion of the population, and will hence- forth dispense his great and well known prepa- rations for the permanent. cure of Catarrh at all stores, or will send complete treatment with all necessary instructions to any address, express paid, upon receipt of one dollar, Ad” = De HARSURE, 64 North Greene street, Bal- imore, Ma.
