SKETCHES ABOUT TOWN. Odd Callers at the White House—A Fe- male Private Secretary, Etc. What a number of queer people visit the White House. They seem to be affected by some unknown law of gravitation which brings them to the President's home; the same law which at this season of the year draws a boy away from school and lands him somewhere near a crack in the fence which surrounds the base-bail grounds. A simple-hearted old col- ored woman was there a few days since and asked Capt. Densmore if she could see the President. Her manner was so confident that the captain thought she perhaps had had some previous acquaintance with the chief execu- tive, so he asked her if she knew the President. “No.” said she. with something of regret in her tones, “but.” and here she became more assertive, “I useter wash fo’ a man who useter wo'k fo’ him wunst.” Her claim was not recognized, and she went sorrowing away, but she returned on the next public reception day and was made happy by a Daacieke ss TREASURED GLOVES. Nota few of the visitors, especially those of the feminine persuasion, have a positive feel- ing of veneration for the President, and some of them do very odd things while under the influence of his presence. The medal, up to date, is held by a very stylish little lady, a resi- dent of New York city. She was at the White House on Saturday, waiting with the rest of the crowd for the President to come downstairs to the tri-weekly reception, when an idea struck her; hit her hard. She rushed up to an usher and inquired of him as to the whereabouts of the nearest glove store. The information was given and off she dashed. returning in fifteen Minutes with a new pair of the most expensive kind of gloves on her pretty hands. Serupu- lously avoiding contact with any of the crowd she at last reached the President. and when he rasped her slim little fingers she brought her fer nd into service and completely inclosed the President's palm. She got a little more shake than most of the others did. Then she took off her gloves and wrapped them up eare- fully in paper. She told Capt. Densmore that she would keep them under a glass case, and that while she lived no other hands than her own would be privileged to touch them. A BRIGHT LITTLE WoMAN, There was a very bright little woman in the mansion yesterday. Her name is Banks—Miss Lizzie Banks—and she is a fair example of what a timid. modest young lady can do when she starts out right. ‘She entered newspaper life about a year ago. and did most of her work in St. Paul and the northwest. Some corres- pondence was done for Minister Hicks’ paper at Oshkosh, when Minister Hicks was only an editor. Miss Banks is now the minister's pri- vate secretary, and is en route for Peru, ONE LITTLE INDIAN. The crowd of seekers after salaries is dwind- ling away. Day after day sees it become er by degrees and beautifully less, and each succeeding night reveals an increased juantity of elbow-room in the hotel-lobbies. Tasee whe nee departed have, as a rule, gone home in a decidedly unhappy frame of mind. ‘They are metaphorically kicking themselves because they did not stay at home. One man, who came to town on the second day of March. and who has failed to secure anything in the nature of an office, went home happy last Sat- urduy night. Early in the evening he a peared im the the lobby of the hotel where he has lived at a 5 rate and there was a life-size smule on his fs “Have you got your appointment?” was the query thrust at him by half a dozen friends, Rone of whom had seen him smile to any seri- Ous extent since inauguration. “I've got ail I want,” was his satisfied re- sponse. “I started im,” he continued “to be an Indian agent, but I never saw the Secre- tary of the Interior until to-day After having refused to see me on about forty previous oc- cesions he granted me a two-minute interview this afternoon, and when he got through shaking my hand I told him that I really did'nt expect to get that Indian agency. That con- fession sort o” pleased him, for he smiled. Then I told him that I did have one little favor to ask of him. He told me to go ahead, so I said, “Mr. Secretary, will you just give me one Indi. I don’t care two cents whether it is a ck. a squaw or a just one Indian.

Capt. Armes’ Right to a Place in the Inauguration Parade. HIS COUNSEL ASSERTS THAT THE CAPTAIN HAD A SPECIAL COMMISSION FROM SERGEANT-AT- ARMS CANADAY TO ACT AS A BODYGUARD TO THE PRESIDENT—ARMES ON HASTINGS. Capt. Armes continued his testimony before the court-martial after the recess yesterday afternoon by reading two letters from Gen. Barnum to show his relations with that gentle- man, followed by his letter to Gen. Beaver, which was couched in sharp terms. Capt. Armes, in reading it, explained that one para- graph had been left out when the letter was published. THE OMITTED PARAGRAPH was to the effect thet Gen. Hastings is not a gentieman, and that his association with the governor reflected on his honor; also that the conduct of the Pennsylvania soldiery while in this city was due to Hastings’ carelessness. The letter demanded an apology from Gov. Beaver, and was written by Armes “as a citizen,” with no reference to the U.S.army. ; Armes said to the court that he did not think that anything would have happened if it bad not been for the little statements in the news- papers, which were exaggerated as they passed from one to another. THE RIGGS HOUSE EPISODE. After about ten days, not having heard any- thing from his letter to Beaver, witness saw that the governor was at the Riggs house. Call- ing there he sent up his card, but no attention was paid to it. He afterward saw the governor talking to some others in the lobby, and catch- ing sight of witness the governor came over and shook hands with him. Armes pressed him for an apology, which the governor re- fused to give. As he turned to go Armes put out his hand to stop him, which the governor, he said. seemed to take as an insult. “Some words passed and I was taken hold of by a man named Hewes, but was afterwards released.” A LETTER FROM COL. LAWTON. Capt. Armes went on to explain that he had re- ceiveda letter from Col. Lawton, inspector-gen- eral, notifying him of his investigation into the charges that had been preferred against witness. This letter had lain in_ his office several days while he was out of the city on business. He wrote to Lawton asking him for an explana- tion of the nature of the charges | Shortly after he received a notification from Assistant — Adjt Kelton to appear before the -martial. This came on the Monday evening before the court met. Desiring to avoid the notoriety, disgrace, and expense of a trial, he wrote the letter to Gov. Beaver, in which he appealed to him to interfere with the War department in his behalf and THREATENING TO KILL HIMSELF. The newspapers. he added, had said that he appealed to Beaver on account of his family, This was not true. for he never brought his family into his troubles. The day before the trial he wrote to Gov. Beaver a full apology for the Riggs house trouble. He had not intended to commit an assault, nor had he done so. HARD ON HASTINGS. “J was careful in my letters to Gen. Beaver not to state anything reflecting upon him per- j sonally.” said Armes, “but I did say, not only | that Hastings was not a gentleman, but was a | liar and a coward. 4 Armes then went into the story of his rela- tions with Mr. Seward. which he detailed at some length, as well as his army record. While he wading through his papers and bringing forth incidents in his army career, Col. Dodge reminded hii that all these mat- ters were not pertinent to the issue, and to cut POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Bourke. He said that he had not promised to be at the Police Court on the morning of the Sth of March. The court had no questions to ask, and Judge Hubbell announced that the TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE WAS CLOSED, and he proceeded with his argument. He said that he supposed that the judge advocate would make a main point on the authority of Governor Beaver against that of the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, under whom Capt. Armes was acting. He, therefore, went into a long discussion of the propriety of a citizens’ committee taking charge of the President on inauguration day, Us precepenteD Avrrractrox OVER A MILLION DISTRIBUTED, LOUISIANA STATE LOTTERY COMPANY.

OF ROME” from Ni i, : 29, June >| 2 In presenting THE EVENING STAR in its new ress and improved form, attention is called to its Peculiar merits as a news and family ppper, ae Well as to the extraordinary advantages it affords to advertisers. aligh professional authority—which in this im Stance only expresses public sentiment—has de clared that “THERE IS NO BETTER EVENING NEWSPAPER IN YHE UNITED STATES” thag THE Star. But even more than this may be justly claimed forit, In all that relates to the composie tion of a first-class journal, devoted to news, busie ‘ness, family and local affsirs, it takes rank with the very best in the world, and in the special quak ities named ft is not surpassed by any. With alert, intelligent and {rapartial special correspond- | ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of the telegraph, and with the superior mechanical facilities with which its office is equipped, it covers the whole feld of news, and is able to presents | reflex of the entire civilized world each day up to the very moment of going to press. In these re Spects THE Stak is absolutely without @ rival, and fearlessly challenges comparison, within range of the ternitory it occupies. In its treatment of public affairs it is impartial and aims to be fair and just to all faithsand inter. | ests, and it is absolutely independent, in the high- est and broadest sense of the term. In the publ cation of news it records facts without bias or color, and in the expression of editorial opinion it is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting | only what it believes to be right, as it is persistent in condemning and opposing what it believes to be Wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeled by any’ other interest or consideration than that of serving the public, and securing as far as possible the wel+ fare of the family circle, and of society as a whole, With these general objects in view, what THE STAR specially concerns itself with, and that to Which it gives its best efforts, may be briefly de- scribed as THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted since its present management assumed its direction, ‘And this policy will characterize the future career of the paper as prominently as it has marked ite ast history. AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. ‘The EVENING STAR claims to be, and can com clusively establish that it 18, the best local advertise ing medium in the world! NO OTHER PAPER PRINTED | CIRCULATES SO MANY COPIES IN THE CITY OF 179 | PUBLICATION, IN PROPORTION TO POPULATION. It ts | hardly too much to say that it is read by the mem- , bers of every family in the District of Columbia. | It is peculiarly the favorite of the home circle, and 1s no less esteemed in the counting room and the Work shop. It follows, therefore, that as an agent | Of publicity within the National Capital and con- tiguous territory it has no rival An announce ment in is columns practically meets all eyes, and, | 4m proportion to the service it gives, its advertising | Fates rank with the lowest im the country. Being low, they are rigidly adhered to. There only re- mains to be added on this head, as an indication ‘of the esteem in which the paper is held bythe | business public, which best understands its own interests in this respect, that, both in the number of subscribers and of new advertisements printed, each year in the history ot the paper shows a large increase over its predecessor. For example, during the first nine months of the present year the average daily circulation of the paper has been 26,681 copies, and the whole number of new advertisements printed 39,693, Sgainst an average daily circulation of 25,427 copies and 38,594 new advertisements dur- ing the corresponding period in 1887. In short, THE STAR has never taken a backward step, and its conductors are determined that it never shall *ake one. THE WEEKLY STaBR Is especially commended to that portion of the Teading public who desire to be kept advised of affairs at the seat of government, and are 60 sity Sted as not to need or care for a daily paper. Itis in every respect a first-class family journal Ite news is carefully collected, and may be Upon to be fresh andauthentic. Its sclentind, lite Tary, household and agricultural deparuhents are edited with the view of meeting the wants aha tastes of an intelligent and reading public, ap of affording assistance to the student and those Pursuit of general information. Some of the most noted and learned men and women of the countap are contributors to its columns. Its ample tele, Sraphic arrangements and full corps of special correspondents enable it to lay before its reader® every week all important happenings, foreign and domestic, and especially such political, social, an@ current events as are worthy of note, in the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Nort Carey lina, and those adjacent thereto. ‘The low price at which it is published, ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, the reach of all.
