The visitor to the Light Infantry fair must often De reminded of the experience at the Centennial in Philadelphia when attempting to thoroughly examine the numerous interesting and beautiful exhibits. There are all gorta of articles to be seen, extending in their range from acigar to anoll Painting, and from a piece of fancy work toa kitchen range. The artistic Jostles the plainly practical, and this feature is foretbly impressed on ‘he mind’of the visitor upon the first entrance in the hall. First the eye falls upon a row of stoves of nearly very Leas A roman J tabdear eye ose metallle briltlancy of ‘nickel plating and tiling, and then with the force of complete contrast upon @n exhibit of artistic furniture, rich in upholstery of oriental coloring. Here the vialtor pauses, for there is nothing #0 attractive in this time as’ ar- tistic furniture, and tgnorance of the latest de- signs 1s ke being out of the: fashion in dress. Tils exhibit, which was donated by Mr. Henry 0. Towles, 1s effectively ‘arranged, and the booth resembles an elegant parlor. It 1s worthy of detailed examination, A luxurtous reception chair, with its broad seat, suggests rest to wearted limbs, in spite of the rich” blue silk plush with Which {t 1s upholstered. ‘Tne plush harmonizes with the broad facings of Valours—a Turkish fab- ric heavy with threads of gold. ‘The woodwork is ebonized, and the chatr stands aga beautiful pro- duct of modern artistic work. Near {t 1s a solld mahogany center table, (irinly resting on four sen- sible legs, with its hl,zb polish’and straight lines, a type or the revival of immom sense in cabinet Work. In its beautiful stmpifelty It affords a striking contrast to the absurdities that trembled on thelr spindie-twisted legs in drawing rooms a few years ago. “There 13 a love of achalr,” a lady visitor re- marked as her eyes rested on an ebonized rattan arm-chair, trimmed prettily with dark red ribbon, and «luxurious cushion covered with silk plush Of the same color, All visitcrs will agree with this opinion, whether they look at the chatr from the standpoint of artistic .effect or mere comfort. Tue combination of the useful and beautiful, as tustrated by the above named articles of furnl- ture,ts further emphasized by a “Davenport desk,” with its ample top and ingentouscontrivancesat the sides for drawers and closet room. It 1s made of French walnut, highly polished and lined inside with birds-eye maple. “A novel Invention in the way of easy-chairs is agentleman’s rattan arm- chair with a head rest attachment, formed of rattan, and as soft and yiclaing to the head ‘as an elder down cushion, There are two rocking chairs, which look very Inviting. One is an ebony and’ gilt plattorm rocker, very richly upholstered with raw silk, and the other a latform rocker with a double rattan seat and ack, taking a very comfortable chair, espectally in warm weather. Among other novelties in tuls exhibit there 13 a handsome ebonized shaving- ass for gentlemen, with a bevel plate glass, and Grawers and closet for shaving materials aud other conveniences of tMe toilet. In the midst of this effective display of fine fur niture 13 an elegant cvony pedestal, surmounted by one of Roger's latest groups, entitled “The Bal- cony.” ‘There are other articles in this exhibit of Mr. Towles which attract attention, and among these may be mentioned a walnut velvet carpet lounze, a walnut settee, with perforated seat, bearing the initials of the Light Infantry Corps, anda national wire mattress,for which Mr.Towles Is agent. But the visitor presses reluctantly on, feeling that more time could profitably be spent at this booth. Se Jumped Into the River to Escape. AN EXGITING CHASE AFTER A WOMAN BRATBR, About three o'clock yesterday afternoon a colored man named Edward Brooks, living in Clark’s alley, South Washington, while ina fit of Jealousy beat a woman with whom he 1s living. Her outcries were heard by OMeers Aldrich and Williams, who started to arrest the assailant, Brooks rin down to B street, pursued by the officers av La crowd. In nis filglit he sealed seve- Tal fences and got into the Smithsontan grounds, across which he bounded into the Agricultural ground, and then scudded through the Monument lot. Arriving at the river, near 47th street, he Jumped overboard and swam into the stream. ‘The offlvers not to be baMled signalled a man who was rowing In the streatn, and’ securing the boat paddled out to Isrooks, who showed symptoms of dring. They caught at his head but Brooks de- clared that he woul not ve taken, and threatened if they approached to upset the boat. Finding that parleying would do no good, one of the ofl cers dropped the welzht of his club on Brooks head, which brought him to terns. He was towed ashore, and taken ina dripping condition to the statlonhouse, where ho was locked up. Brooks was to-day arraigned in the Police Court for assaulting Bella Dickson, and sentenced to six Months in jull. The testimony was that he threatened to whip the woman unless she went to live with him or permitted htm to live at her house, She testif_ed that Brooks broke @ large Iron tea- kettle on her head. * Amusements.

Dupont circle will soon own a statue of Admiral Dupont. ‘There Ought to be a sketch of the life of this admiral at- tached to the pedestal, for no one knows who he 1s, whence he came, or what he accomplished. ‘There ‘are already so many statues of these military men that itseems asf there ought to be an end to them. ‘They are becoming monotonous. Admiral Dupobt may prove a handsome man when erected, Dut a fountain would be much handsomer, even if there were no water; the design: of It would be a More attractive object to lookeat than the repre- sentation of @ man tn along tall coat and brass buttons.

Many of the European cities are plentiiuily supplted with fountains, and some of them so beutiful that they rank among the ehiet attrac- tions, ‘The American cities are wanting in this respect, and this 1s all that Washington requires to make It the most beautiful city in America. erage ee Cramming in the Public Schools, THE DISASTROUS RESULTS. Gen. Birney, of the District school board, has re- cetved the following: Wasitxatox, D.

The board meets, adopts Tules, the superintendent goes through his form ot reviews and that 1s the end of it. But does this come up to the standard essential to mental and physical health? I doubt tt. The whole system needs revision.

A New Washington Enterprise. An enterprise that is exciting a great deal of in- terest in this city has been started, which has in view the erection of a building, of artistic design, which shall combine @ complete casino club for men and women, and acommedious Opera House, having a grand opera stage, and a capacity for at least 1,200 people. The interior arrangements of the building and management will combine the Dest ideas of similar imstitutions in this country and Europe, with many: novél additions adapted to Washington life. Im its’erection a long felt ‘Want of Washington residents will be met. THE BUILDING Will be erected in the vicinity of Lafayette Square, and will be surrounded with ample grounds. One Portion of the building will be devoted to club Tooms, for both men and women members. Here Will be reading rooms, a club post office, writing rooms, a general promenade room, & covered court in the center, a lawn tennis court, a club restau- Tant, dressing rooms and other’ conveniences. During the hours when people would be likely to come in for lunch or ‘reckeation an orchestra Will furnish music. There will also be a ball room and a sulte of private drawing roomsand supper room, with private entrance, which can be rented by persons Wishing to give balls and receptions. THE OPERA HOUSE Will be on the ground floor, and, as near as may be, fireproof, with large lobples and exits on three sides from almost continuous doors. It will have all the recent Improvements in comfortable chairs, open boxes, cloak rooms, &., and an original de- sign by a New York theatrical man which ar- Tanges the seats, in rows of fours, in such a man- ner that all parts of the house may be easily vis- ited and any seat reached without disturbing the Occupants of other seats or passing in front of any one. The row of open boxes in the balcony will be separated by grilles, with an aisle back of them, and transferable Into rows of seats in case of non- rental as boxes, THR LOBBIES, With floor slightly raised and in view of the stage, will have seats and tables where people may sit or move about when tired of their stalls. A public restaurant, a branch of the club restaurant, ad- Joins the lobbies. After a play the members of the club could leave the theater by special inner doors to the club and watt in thelr rooms until their car- Tlages are announced or have supper in the club Testaurant before leaving. In many features of the plan of thts opera house;tesembles the Grand Opera House of Paris, THE COST AND HOW IT IS PROPOSED TO MEET IT. ‘This building will occupy some 20,000 feet, and its estimated cost 1s in the neighborhood of $200,000. The design ts the suggestion of Mr. F. H. Paine, who 1s also interested in this enterprise. Those who take an interest In this matter and wish toenjoy the advantages and privileges that subscribers will have are subscribing to a paper entitling them to a certain number of shares of stock Aunong the privileges granted a subscriber, the most important will be’ the right to select a box, or a number of seats in the subscribers’ rows according to the number of shares he holds. These same seats will always be held for and charged to him; but should he not desire to occupy them he may’ give notice any previous time, or up to a certain hour of the day of a performance, to place his seats on the sale list, ‘This seems to be a priv- Nege well deserved by those who will give us such an agreeable resort. It is the intention to erect this bullding by a stock company, and the enter- prise 1s receiving the support not only ot residents of this city but also many of the winter residents of wealth. ——_____-»._____ The Sprague Diverce Case. ALLEGED MISSTATEMENTS CORRECTED BY COUNSET. Judge Hoadley, of Cincinnati, and Winchester Britton, of Brooklyn, N.Y., counsel for Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, sent aletter to the editor of the Vindicator, of Staunton, Va., referring to a state- ment published In that paper, March 16, in which ex-Goy. Sprague was represented as having sald to the clerk of the court, to the commonwealti’s attorney, and to Rev. J. D. Hullihon, in order to rocure & Inarriage license and to induce the min- ister to perform ‘the ceremony, that he brought sultdgainst Mrs. Sprague for divorce on the ground Of adultery; that she answered charging him with the sate offense; that afterwards She with- drew her charges. against him, but hts remained, and he was granted a divorcee on the ground named in his ‘petition, and that the court di- vided the custody of the chilaren. For the sake of accuracy the mtmister reduce the above statement to writing. Counsel say they can hardly belteve it posstble that such a perversion of facts could have been made, but that they ‘ave Seen no contraiiction. They ask the editor of the Vindicator to publish the faets as they are, In jus- tice to Mrs. Sprague. ‘They then recite that. Mrs. Sprague brought sult for a divorce in Rhode Island, charging adultery, cruelty and fallure to Support. Gov. Sprague answered by a cross-bill charging her with adultery. She prepared proot to support all her allegations, but on the trial Gov. Sprague and counsel proposed that it Mrs. Spraguo Would walve proof as to his adultery he would withdraw his petition and permtt the case to pro- ced on the milder charge of non-support. This Proposition was accepted, a decree of divorce was granted Mrs. Sprague on this ground, and she was given the custody of the younger three children, the other child being, under the laws of Rhode Island, not subject to the control of the court. In view of all the facts counsel say they have advised Mrs. Sprague to avail herself of the permission of the court to resume her maiden name.
