A COLORED IMPOSTOR WHO PRETENDED TO WANT MONEY TO BURY A DEAD CHILD. -Last night a colored man called at the house of Policeman Trainor, No. 1835 5th street, and asked for assistance to bury his dead child. He showed the officer a paper which read: “Kind friend please to help me to bearry my child as Tam not abble to bearry him I would like to put him away Iam not abble bare the expeness his age 12 yea dide 1 half pas 9 oclock 1889,”” The officer questioned the negro, who said his home was in East Washington. On the way to the police station he said that he had made a mistake, that his child was not dead and he wanted to apologize. ‘Deed, boss,” he said, “I'll tell you de truf ef you let me go.” He told the officer that he had just come over from Baltimore, and gave his name as Joseph Scott. He was locked up on a charge of being a suspicious person, and was taken to the Police Court to-day. The case was tried, and the risoner was given two months on the farm in fault of bonds. pelea ee Se The Railroad War. THE CASE AGAINST THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC COMPANY POSTPONED. This morning, in the Police Court, Col. Tot- ten appeared in the case of Daniel P. Me- Keever, superintendent of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, charged with obstructing Delaware ayenue southwest with a fence beside the tracks. Col. Totten asked that the case go over for ten days. Mr, McKeever, he said, had made arrangements to go to Florida for his health, and for that reason he desired a con- tinuance. Mr. Forrest raised no objection, and the case went over until the 16th instant. oe Mr. Johnson Resigns. NOT ENTIRELY VOLUNTARILY, BUT AT A SUGGES- TION FROM REGISTER CLAGETT, Mr. Geo. F. Johnson, who for over twenty years has been connected with the office of register of wills, is now an applicant for the position of register, and has resigned his pres- ent position in the office. Mr. Johnson in- formed Register Clagett last week of his exndi- dac objection to his making the run, was given leave of absence one day last week, but, being absent three days, Mr. Clagett sug: ested that it would be better for him to be foot-loose, and that his resignation would be ac- ceptable. Mr. Johnson therefore tendered his resignation, which was accepted. Mr. John- son's name has been presented to the President by Col. Jas, R.

The program included eighteen piano num- bers, representing the works cf Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Rubenstein, Schumann, Tschaikowsky, Moszkowski, Liszt’ and others of lesser note, and the performer proved, by her intelligent readings and her remarkably clean cut and brilliant execution and power, that she was an artist of the first rank. The audience was quite enthusiastic, and each number was liberally ap- plauded. Miss Mae Rogers sang the jewel song from ‘Faust” and Bischoff's ‘The Sea Hath its Pearls” very acceptably, Dr. Bischoff accom- panying her upon the organ. oe Tae Negro axp_ THE IraLraN.—Monday morning a party of Italian fruit venders were on Louisiana avenue, between 9th and 10th streets, getting their’ carts loaded with fruit, when a colored boy, named Geo. Willis, got into some trouble with them. Dominic and Geronimo Masocki were his victims. One of them put @ finger in Willis’ mouth, and his teeth closed on the finger, crushing the bone. The other Italian was struck on the head and badly injured, The injured men were taken to the Emergency hospital, and Policeman Hinkel arrested Willis, To-day, in the Police Court, Willis was given 60 days in jail. > To New Yorx via B. & O.

ARMES. Outcome of the Inauguration Day Epi- sode. CAPT. ARMES MAY BE TRIED BY COURT-MABTIAL ON THE CHARGES PREFERRED BY CAPT. BOURKE, WHICH HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY INVESTIGATED— ‘WHAT WAR DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS SAY ABOUT IT. The present outlook is that Capt. Armes will shortly be tried by court-martial for “conduct unbecoming an officer anda gentleman.” A rumor to this effect flew around the War de- partment this morning, and in its travels was encountered by a Star reporter, who immediately escorted it to the of- fice of Lieut-Col. Lawton, an inspector- general. Upon being confronted with the report the colonel reached for a copy of the army regulations, and pointed out a ‘aph forbidding an inspector from indulging in pro- miscuous conversations concerning cases sub- mitted to them, He consented, however. to divulge the fact that he has of late been inves- tigating certain charges against Capt. Armes, and that his report had been about completed. Further than that he would make no statement. AN EXPLANATION BY CAPT, ARMES MAY AVERT A TRIAL. A short time after the reporter visited Gen. Breckinridge, the inspector-general, who said that he had received Col. Lawton’s report on the Armes case and would transmit it later im the day to the Adjutant-General. “It may happen, however.” he added, “that we may re- ceive a letter to-day from Capt. Armes contain- ing an explanation, in which case our report to Gen, Drum willbe somewhat delayed. You see the regulations require that when charges are brought against a man he shall be given an opportunity to offer an explanation before this department makes its final report. We gave the captain the necessary time, but have as yet received no replyg He may prefer to wait until we have madour report and then pre- sent his explanation to the Secretary of War. Ordinarily we make no recommendations in a case, but merely present our findings of fact. Itsometimes happens that our findings are such that we prefer charges against an officer, but not often. I cannot tell you what our re- port contains, or which way it leans.” WHAT GEN. DRUM SAYS. Then the reporter went to see Gen. Drum, who stated that he had referred the charges preferred by Capt. Bourke against Capt. Armes to Major-General Schofield, and that he had probably referred them to the inspector-gen- eral. These charges, he explained, were merely those relating to the inauguration-day episode, when Armes was put out of the procession, and contained no reference to the trouble between Gen. Beaver and Armes in the lobby of the Riggs house. it is extremely likely, however, that the latter event has had considerable’ weight in bringing the matter to an issue, for at the time Bourke made his charges Gen. Drum said that he did not think that anything would be done with them, THE LYDECKER COURT MAY BE NEEDED AGAIN. In addition to these facts it was learned that the members of the Lydecker court-martial have been told that it would be better if they should not go home immediately, but should wait for further orders, This is thought to be an intimation that this court will be utilized for the trial of Armes, in case the Secretary deems it well to bring him before a tribunal. Changes at the Navy-Yard. SECRETARY TRACY SAYS HE WANTS GOOD, OUGH WORKMEN EMPLOYED. Secretary Tracy talked with a Star reporter THOR- for a little while yesterday about changes at the gun foundry—better known locally as the navy-yard. It has been charged that a large number of democratic employes were re- cently discharged for no other reason than that they were democrats and their places filled by republicans, and it was on this that the Secre- tary was asked to say something. ‘Commander Meade,” he said, “generally controls those matters, and Lam satisfied that there have been no such changes as you refer to.” ‘One of the stories as to this clean sweep,” said the reporter, “refers to your protestations that every man inthe navy-yard is to stand ou his own merits alone. Haye you given utter- ce toany such assurance?” I have not,” was the decided reply. “I did say that the na‘ rds should not, with my consent, be ce ted into asylums for the worthless and incompetent.

Interesting roms with — Late Mary From the New York Graphic. The late Mary Louise Booth, editor of Har- per’s Bazar, devoted as much time and study ‘to the needs of women and the stumbling blocks in their way to success and the best methods to | get around them as any one in this big city. | Her loss will be keenly felt by many who used | to go to her for a word to cheer them through this life’s struggles. She was a woman in the tenderest and truest sense of the word. She would mever allow her name to be identi- fied with any so-called woman's move- ment. What she did, she did in a quiet, | unassuming way, and she worked continually for the elevation of her sex. She wrote much and read and studied more on the capabilities of women and their possible achievements, About eighteen months ago I found her im her little editorial den, and she chatted pleasantly on the growing question, how shall women sup- port themselves? Miss’ Booth disliked very much to be interviewed, but on this question she freely gave her views, She chatted like an elder sister, and seemed to take great interest in what she said. I asked her what chance s young woman without friends and only ber own energies had to get on in the world. A QUESTION HARD To ANSWER. “That isa hard question to answer,” said Miss Booth. “It is very dificult now for any one without friends to get along in the world, particularly a young woman. Everything de- pends on her own abilities. She is handi- capped ina great many ways in competing with men, but a young woman of ordinary ability and who is willing to work cau alw: find employment. One of the great things that is required now for a woman to succeed is originality. To any one who has original ideas there is a great field open. To illustrate this I might point out those who engage to dust bri a-brac or to arrange drawing rooms. Then there was a lady who engaged to teach others how to play whist. In! Paris there are women who will come and pack your trunk for you, All schemes. such these, are bound to succeed. Perseverance is required to succeed in anything. The trouble with the women of the present day is that they look too much to appearances. They want to start off at the top of the ladder when they should be content to commence lower down and work their way up. All work is honorable. Some women go about mending clothing and repair- ing wardrobes. Some of this work is fine and some coarse, but that should not make any dif- ference with the woman who wishes to succeed. “I think the opportunities offered for a woman to make a living in large cities are much better than in the country or smaller towns, The com- petition is of course greater, but the oppor- tunities are also greater. It is very difficult to say which branch of the trade offers the high- est rewards and emoluments to a working woman. In all trades there are those who com- | mand high salaries, and I don’t know that to be efficient in oue pays better than to be efficient in another,” TYPEWRITING AND STENOGRAPHY. “What do typewriting and stenography offer a8 a livelihood?” [ asked. “Typewriting and stenograpby have been ceiving special attention from women latel: There are many hundreds of women employed in the offices and warehouses of this and other large cities. ‘The occupation is a pleasant one and I think well suited for a woman's work, To be a good stenographer and typewriter takes a good deal of study, and this naturally costs money. It is not every one who can afford this expense, but to those who can and who receive good positions the work is good. The pay, I believe, is generally good, and the emplo ment should be ‘steady. I think a won can act as a stenographer aud as well if not better than a man. light and more suited to her. will be well filled during th by women, Some kinds of sewing and fancy work pay very well, but it has to be out of the ordinary todo so. Allwork of this kind is overdone and the price realized for really fine work is very poor, One of the first things a woman generally turns to when she bas to sup- ort herself is to faney work, to see how Tittle the pay is one has only to visit the fancy stores and see at what little outlay an artistic piece of work can be procured, and then think of the cost of the material and the profit to the storekeeper has to be deducted before we get at what the worker is paid. Everyone knows how poorly many of the girls who do sewing some of the factories are paid and how they have to work to get a living.” Tasked how the professions suited women's talents, such as LITERATURE, MEDICINE AND THE LAW. Mrs. Booth replied: ~Literature offers a large field to any young woman who is expeci- ally adapted to the profession. Here your nal ideas are what are wanted. Any one who could make a new department and’ work at it well would succeed. Of course, a good education is required for any literary work, and then the work is hard. One will have to labor for years before any good result is shown, and then only a few persons are really success- ful after the work hasbeen done. Women do an typewriter The work is This profession next few months a great deal of work in publishing houses and in newspaper offices, and some of them are, vei snecessful. Women physicians have been very successful, and I think’ are fully qualified to fill positions in that profession. Whether they have an equal chance with men or not I can’t say, but it seems to me they should have. They have had to make a fight with the colleges in order to be allowed to graduate, but now in many colleges this difficulty is removed and there 1s no ban to obtaining diplomas and _ practicing. Of course, here again women must have certain qualifications which all have not. e course of study is a hard one and the practice of medicine is one that would not suit any one of a nervous temperament. I don't think the time has come for women to plead} in a court of law or to sitona judge's bench, Isce no reason, though, why they should not do some of the clerical work, and they might make a study of the law, so as to be able to give legal advice. You know there are a great many leading lawyers who are never seen in a court of law. Why should not a woman act that wa: I believe some women have joined the minis- try, andI don't see wl should not be | successful as preachers. however, work jina quieter way. such as private classes; but when educated for the ministry I don’t see why a woman should not succeed. “NURSING is decidedly a woman's work, and in it she excels. She is at home in nursing if she is not | at home in anything else. It has received a | great impetus lately, Women are being | trained in the hospitals as nurses with great | success. Many women in high stations of life— socially, I mean—have become nurses in some of our great hospitals.” “And the pay! Don't you think women should be paid as high rates as men?” “Certainly, I think women should be paid just as much as men if they are able to fulfill allthe duties aman would if occupying the same position. Some houses, I am sorry to say, employ women as clerks because it is cheaper than to pay for men. That is ashame, and why it is so T can’t see. Some houses employ women very largely and pay them well, while others pay them very little, indeed, and keep them at work very hard. Work should be paid for according to its worth, whether it is a man or a woman who is doing the work. If a woman does her work ai and well she is entitled to be paid well for it. Some people think that a woman does not require as much money as a man. The man, they think, has a family to support. Very often the woman hasa great deal more depend- ing on her than the m: * and in this city ay are many young girls earning enough to support large families who are dependent upon them.” 5 f “To sum it all up, is there any business the men engage in that women might not as suc- cessfully follow?” WOMEN WEAKER. “That is a very hard question to answer. Women have tried to be successful in many businesses and professions that have been filled for years by men, but there are very many that they have made no —— to master yet. A woman is usually weaker p! f yeoryd thane man, and consequently she could not perform some of the heavier duties that fall to man’s lot. For instance, I don’t think a woman could erect a bridge successfully or build a railroad. She might be able to do so, though,after acourse of study as a civil engineer, but it would be vet hard work for her.

THE EFFECT OF LIGHT AND PREKDOM UPON THE GAMEST OF FISH. From the New York Times. Every trout-fisher has observed the differs ence in the color of the speckled beauties he loves so well, but to the query wh y some are | brighter than others the correct reason is rarely given. Sir Humphry Davy is credited with a story that is substantially as follows: “A great French Manutacturer sought the secret of making the brilliant carmine that was manufactured in England. He went to London and paid £1,000 to an English manufacturer for his secret, The Frenchman visited the factory and eare- fully observed the details of the manufacture of the carmin Finding it to be exactly the same process that he himself carried on an his own factory, he complained that he had beem cheated outof his money. The Ex called his attention » bright and sunny. Ingniry days were taken advanta: man for making his color clicited the fact that he had made his carmine on dark days.” In that the whole secret So it is with Salmo tontinatis, the brook trout. and with every other fish that swims. Inhabitants of limpid streams with gravelly bottoms are bright and beautiful; those in dark, land-locked waters shaded from the sun, are devoid of the brilliant colors which are so much admired. Tt has puzzled many amateur anglers, also, to account for the difference in the color of the substance or flesh of the brook trout. This cannot be accounted for in the same manner, The wild trout is noted for its beautifal pink flesh, while that of the cultivated fish is of a pale yellowish tint. The food of the trout makes all the difference, or. if not, the annual or semi-annual visit of the wild trout to the salt water makes it up. Preserved trout are fed principally on liver, and not ouly are they of less beautiful exterior, but they are devoid of the pink flesh and delicate flavor of the wild trout, whether such the French- — soe .
