THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, “a ND_DISTRICT. N CORNERS, How Order ts Preserved at Crowded Street Intersections. ‘Tuere are at present but six “corner policemen” in Washington, but when Congress gives addi- onal men the number of policemen detailed for such duty will De increased. The corners which are now guarded are 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue, Oth and F streets and 15th street and New ork avenue. These corners are “transfer” cor- ners for the street car companies, and are trav- led by Several thousand persons each day, mak- tng them dangerous places, where vehicles and foot Passengers are apt to come together and do some oxime injury. The corners are protected from 8 Yelock in the morning until midnight. Two oM- fers are assigned to tach corner, “These offers do day and night duty alternately. At 7th street And Pebosylvania avenue Officers Kaucher and Minkel do duty. | This is probably the harde corner to look after during the entire day, cause, in addition to the large number of persons being transferred from ue street car line to another and the ordinary run of vehicles, there are hundreds of vehicies going to aud from the Market and many iarket boys who need considerable watching. At 15th sireet and New York street is wide, and there are two sides of the car, (Wack where Vehicles can run. There 1s uot sO Much danger at this crossing except when the departinents are opening and closing. From bali- past 8 to 9 o'clock in the morning there 1s a con Mant stream of persons going each way tothe Yarious departments, and tuen there are a number Of cabs and w: ‘on the street at the same time, requiring considerable atteation from tue officers.

A proposition for the Sppointment of an avenue squad has been, enter- by Major Moore, who does not think that the Present number of OMicers would justity such Action.

An effort tuen made in the Way Of church extension led to the form ton of three parishes—incaraation, St. Paul’s and St. Mark’s—which began ay missions In the case of each mission, the hing and services were under control, at the beginning, of the rector of the parent parish, ‘The work on Capitol Hill was begun While Rev. Mark Olds was rector of old Christ church and Wasiington paris. Mr. Olds began by holding Sunday afternoon services in the Sol- diers’ and Sailors" Orpaan Home, at 20 and Mary. land avenue, in the house owned by the Danger- Held iamily.” Rev. Mr. Olds drew we plan tor the chapel used now by the parish, but did not live to see it completed. He died in 1su8, and was suc- ceeded as rector of Christ Church by Kev. Dr. Shield, who, in 1869, invited Rev. A. Floridus ‘Steele to take charge of the new Work in progress in his parish. ‘Tis chapel was frst erected on A street, between 2d and 3d southeusi, ou a lot be- longitig to the Beale family, the use Of which was given fee of rent for tue purpose.

Mr. Stcele took charge of Lhe mission in March, 1800, ‘Iu the following Jue 1 was or- ganized thto a parish, aud Mr, Steele Was formally elected its rector. MOVING THE CHURCH. As property was changing hands rapidly both the rector, Mr. Steele, and the vestry were im. pressed with the necessity of securing a perma- hent site, and in 1870 they purchased, for $5,000, the two city lots at the corner of 3d and A streeis, constituting the present site. The trame chapel Was moved to the new site and has been used ever since. While it was being moved services Were held in Lutheran chapel, cuen located on Ist street, at the invitation of ihe’ hospitable Luther ans, Who Shared Weir house with the rootless Parishoners of St. Mark's. Oue of tbe tirst events of note in the cbureh after the removal from A to Sd street Was the toriual cereusay tustivucing Kev.

Pugilist Jack Leonard Was agreed upon as referce, Mrs. Lesiie appeared ip pure white Ughts witn sleeveless Wrapper, and Miss Leary in biack tights, wine-colored trunks and white sleeveless wrapper. Mrs. Lesile’s hair ‘as Cut short behind, while Miss Leary had hers done = high. Mrs, Lesiie wok the aggressive from the beginning, and at the end of the first round her cheek was marked with a ridge, while Miss Leary’s nose was badly bruised, Both women "grew excited, and the men gathered around the ring cheered'as the brutal exhibition conunued in bard and rapid Diows. ‘Tne Leary woman was struck three times in the stomach, ahd retallated with a bit on her aptagonist’s mouth that brought the blood, fol- lowing it with a blow between the eyes that sent her reeling against a baymow. A still more shock- Ang incideut occurred when Mrs. Leslie rushed the Leary girl into a corner of the ring and pounded her heavily in the neck, The whisky botties were used toreiresh both of them at the end of this round, After the fighting began again Miss Leary showed signs of faintness and Mrs. sie refrained trom striking her heavily, but La Blanche yelled to Mrs, Lesile that ke would withdraw i she did not fight to the vest of her ability. The liquor Was Uelling on both women and the terrible spec- tacle Was Duished tn the seventh round, when the big Woman again rushed the Leary gir! planted Some vicious biows in her face, and struck ber re- peatediy in the body.

Says a Philadelphia Press spectal from Livings- ton, Mont, September 16: The movement of troops from Fort Custer and other posts in that Vicinity has occasioned some alarm which is with- out cause, The troops were ordered to intercept a party of Sioux, who were reported on the war path against the Crows, Last spring the Crows found three S,oux on the Crow reservation en- deavoring to steal horses. They kilied and scalped ‘the Sioux without delay. It has been the inten- Lion Of the Sioux to avenge those Killings as soon as tue Opportunity presented itself. Nine Sioux Went to tue Poplar Kiver agency with this object in view, and on Wednesday they were intercepted at Pomnpey’s Pillar while on their way to the Crow reservation by a troop of cavalry from Fort Custer and were turned back Uoward the Missouri Kiver and escorted to their agency. The disturbances are local and the movements of the troops are merely of the nature of polire duty. ns ‘The Americans Beat All Dancing.

The professof is more en- ‘Uhusiastic than ever about the merits of his own country and fellow-countrymen, “I visited the rincipal dancing schools in Vienna, Paris, and dou,” he said yesterday. “Why,when I danced ‘at Wiesbaden the whole company stopped after a round or wo just to watch me.

Y. Tribune, Sept. 15. A sensation has been caused by Premier Mer- cler’s speech on the independence of the province Of Quebec. He dares Downing Street, of Ottawa, to interfere further in Quebec legisiation, and de- nounces the vetoes of the dominion government as inspired by English Protestant hatred of French Roman Catholics, This language 1s reflected by Le Lecteur, the premier’s personal organ, which openiy threatens secession of Quebec from the Canadian union, Agents of the Quebec govern- ment are promoting the movement started yester- day, of annexation to the Untied States ‘The trouble ..rises out of the vetoes by the federal gov- erument of the provincial acts for the conversion of the public debt and the creation of ‘provincial courts. The provincial government has decided to proceed in defiance of the federal authorities and the imperial government itself, raising the ery of “Quebec for the French,” and “provincial rights.” Medic: From London Lite. One of the burning social questions of this last quarter of the nineteenth century 1s that of the proper sphere for women. Obviously, the fact that Women exceed men numerteaily, in the proportion of eleven to ten, apart from a variety of other considerations, put marriage out of the question for many of the dear creatures. Being thus with- out prospect of an alilauce with a bread winner, and so finding wore or less employment in houst~ hold duties, are they to seek honorabie indepen- dence for themselves, or subsist, If possible, on the bounty of relatives and friends? No rational man wiil hesitate in his choice, "lis better to labor than beg.

IT WON'T HURT THE EYES AND IT MAY, PERHAPS AID DIGESTION. Astatement has appeared in print that gum chewing 1s hurtful to the eyes. The specialists in eye troubles who were asked about it by a New York Sun reporter all expressed the greatest sur- prise that such a statement could have been made, “What 1s more,” said the physician in charge of the New York’ Ophthalmic aud Aural Intiriui- ary In 12th street, “Ido not see_how the action of Ube Jaws could ‘affect the eyes in any possibie way. ‘The optic nerves are wholly removed from those governing mastication, “Neither set of nerves could have any effect ‘upon the other. If you had asked me whether gum chewing hurt the ears instead of the eyes, 1 could at least have found a way by which soine connection could be established between the cause and the alleged effect, for in chewing, the muscles of the jaws constanuly move tbe edr cartilages, as indeed you ean see lor yourself. But no deleterious effect pon the ears follows gum chewing either. It has never even been suggested as a possibility.” Another physician sald: “Tne bad effects ot chewing gun are felt by the digestion only. It the havitis carried to an excess $o much saliva ‘will be secreted and carried into the stomach as to impair digestion, because action of the Jaws in- duces action of the’ salivary glands, Again, much chewing may resultin weakening the salivary glands so that they will not secrete suflicient saliva during meals to properly molsten the food before it enters the stouuel, and dyspepsia and indigestion are apt to foliow. But guin chewing 1s not so dreadful a habit as 1U is painted. Its evils are grossly exaggerated by those who consider the habit to be ill-bred and vulgar. Women do fufinitely more harm to their stomacus with pickles, ices, and hot drinks, and by eating be- tween ‘meals, than by chewing gum. ‘There are few who keep up the habit for any great length of time, and Occasional excess 1s atoned for by nothing more dreadful than a possible attack of judigestion, ‘There are cases Where invderate gua chewing 1s positively bealtuful. Ln fact, physicians someUules prescribe it. Boluing one’s food, you know, 1s the besetUng national weakness. Buited Tood goes tnto Uhe stoinach without the necessary saliva, which can only ve had by Working the JaWS, ind it 1s au excellent thing LO chew a OIL of hamless gum after the meal, and in that way in- duce the secretion of more saliva.” eee ‘The Harvest Moon.
