The Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s association met at 7 o'clock this morning and, marching to the Baltimore and Potomac depot, took a train about 8 o'clock for Baltimore. The line was headed by the Kit Carson Post drum corps and marshaled by Mr. J. R. P. Carpenter. On the right of the line were Messrs. Joshua Lloyd and Harry L, Gettier, axmen; Engineer Julius Stroble and Assistant George Keithley; two boys (sons of Mr. Carpenter) with torches; Mr. J. BR. Brown with the American flag, Then came James H. Richards, president; God- win Pierce, vice president; John J, Pea- body, recording secretary; Fred Kahlert, cial secretary; followed by the uniformed members drawing their handsome hose car- riage—a four-wheeler, formerly belonging to the Sun fire company of Alexandria.

To the Editor of Tux Evenixo Stan: I think that a stop should be put to the dan- gerous and often unnecessary use of fire arms by the police force of the city. An officer in arresting a drunken negro last Friday night near the corner of 17th and De Sales streets fired two shots on a populous street about 8 o'clock, when residents are often sitting in front of their houses, thus endangering the lives of eable citizens in an endeavor to arrest a ken man. ‘The officer called for assistance, when the writer promptly went to his aid. ‘The officer flourished his pistol with his right band, first in the face of the negro and then in that of the citizen assisting him, ‘until the latter remonstrated and threatened to leave ew Bet eek the — on the or re, iy gun, ‘eatening in a lou tone the entire time to shoot him and pointing his pistol at the man’s face. Had he used his “strong right arm” instead of brandishing his | oy with it the | opel could easily have m od. I for one will not again be in a hurry to risk being shot by an officer by attempting to assist him in enforcing the law. Eve Witness, To Welcome Senator Sherman. A reception will be given next Friday evening by the Ohio republican association to Senator Sherman st his residence on K street upon his arrival in this city from Europe. The commit- tee to receive Mr. Shermeu at the depot upon his arrival will consist of J. M. McGrew, pres- ident of the association; W. J. Rannells. assist- ant attorney general; Thos. B. Coulter, sixth auditor; M. M. Holland, Col. M. M. Parker, Col. Dan A. Grosvenor and Wm. Mayse. ——— Professor Bell’s House Boat. According to various accounts this must be stroly marvellous structure. Its dimensions have not been given, but it is said to contain two spacious parlors, a big dining room, billiard room and numerous bed rooms, kitchen, serv- ants’ room, &c. We are not told that the bil- i i E i f | i Fe i i E i j é F i t i f The partially decomposed remains of Edward H. Du Rainoi was discovered on Saturday near the river side about half. a mile << Aqueduct bridge by George Wolts, who resides in that neighborhood. Alongside of the body was a revolver with oné empty chamber, and in the dead man’s head, just over the left ear, was the hole through which a bullet had entered and life escaped. The Vir- ginia authorities were at once notified by Mr. Woltz and the body was re- moved to a shed in the vicinity. In the pockets were found money, keys, tobacco and a letter, the latter being addressed to himself in care of George Martin, 604 H street southwest. ‘The facts as developed by the police show that Du Rainoi had been working on No.1 up to Monday last. On that day he so he declared, for Baltimore, where his parents reside. He was given = check for his wages and he came to the city to have it cashed. The general belief tends to- ward suicide, but there was a rumor current to the effect that some one who, on Thi [eer near the spot where the body was foun: eard three gintol shots in rapid succession. The pistol found near the body had only been fired once. Du Rainoi came to this city about six months ago from Baltimore. He had been a sailor for seth years past.

A number of important details connected with the arrangements for the great Knights Templar parade which will take place in this city next month were determined at the meet- ing of the executive committee Saturday night. The committee on badges reported in favor of abanner to be carried between each division ofthe parade. It will be red in color, with the number of division in gold letters along the top. The committee on badges was instructed to prepare # distinctive committee badge in the form of s Maltese cross with metal back, covered with silk, the names of the executive committee to be borne on it, Arrangements were completed for a barbecue atthe Scheutzen park October 9 at 2 o'clock. Several oxen will be roasted whole. TO BE RECEIVED BY THE PRESIDENT. On the evening of the same day the Templars and their friends will be received by President Harrison at the White House, when the grounds will be illuminated. On the following evening they will be received by Mrs. Logan at her home on Calumet place. A contract was entered into with Mr. B. F. McCauley to furnish fifty carriages at $15 each for the use of the Grand encampment officers on the day of parade, A number of the commanderies have Las. ah handsome books giving the itineracy of the trip to Washington. and in some instances other points of interest will be visited. St. John’s commandery of Philadelphia will go to Old Point Comfort, and St. Allan commandery of Portland, Me., will visit Gettysburg, Luray Caverns and Richmond. THE IOWA KNIGHTS SHUT OUT. There wil! not be as many Knights Templar in the grand parade by at least 1,000 as had been looked for. This diminution is due to the fact that Grand Commander Roome has forbidden the Iowa grand and subordinate commandaries from icipation in the great procession. The trouble wiich has culminated in this edict had its origin in the loyalty of the Towa knights to the old ritual, which had been superseded by s new one. which all knights were commanded to use. The Iowans declare that the grand commander exceeded his au- thority when he ordered the exclusive use of the new ritual, and they propose to make a vigorous attack upon his position during the coming conclave, While it is not expected that the Iowa knights will take part in the parade yet they will visit the city as individuals during the coaclave. OVER THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SUBSCRIBED, The finance committee report that the sub- scriptions amount to about $31,000. F. G. Weise, the grand commander of the state of New Jersey, was at headquarters today. He secured quarters in this city for Ivanhoe commandery, No. 11, of Bordentown. Messrs. Chas, T. Parke and Andrew McAlees of Helenacommandery, No. 3, Burlington, N.J., were in the city today perfecting the arrango- mente for the visit of their commandery to city. Chief Marshal Parker of the triennial con- clave parade has appointed Thos. C, Cheffellee of this city as an aide on hts staff. —— Hoist by His Own Petard. From the London Court Journal. “Will you kindly allow me to stand?” asked » gentleman as he got into a railway carriage, which carriage already contained the specified number. “Certainly not, sir,” exclaimed a passenger occupying a corner seat near the door. ‘The way these trains are overcrowded is shameful.” “As you appear to be the only person who objects to my presence,” replied the gentle- man, “I shall remain where I am.” “Then I shall call the guard and have youre- moved, sir.” Suiting the action to the word the aggrieved passenger rose and putting his head out of the window vociferously summoned the guard. The new-comer saw his opportunity and quietly slipped into the corner seat, “What's up?” inquired the guard as he opened the carriage door. “One over the number,” replied the new- comer, coolly, “You must come out, sir; the train's going on,” and without waiting for further explana- tion the guard pulled out the aggrieved passen- ger, who was left wildly geetioulating ‘on the platform, —_+oo-___.

Just after retiring he remembered that a fire insurance policy on one of his houses expired that day, but he did not want to get up, and so he thought he would wait until Monday to renew the’ policy.

A Youtarcn Vaoraxt.—Among the dozen prisoners that filed outof the station this morn- ing and through » large gathering of curious people on the sidewalk was a diminutive col- ored boy named Eddie Robinson, only ten years old, who had been arrested on a charge of va- grancy. In the Police Court this morning the boy was charged with being a va- grant. Policeman Cotter had arrested him for sleeping on the steps at the car stable. Eddie told the policeman that he had been sent out to mind cows, but had lost the animals | and did not know his way home. The officer | gave the judge the information that while the boy lived with his mother it really was not a home, because she drank so much that she was unfit to care for anyone. The boy’s mother contradicted the officer’s statement. She said | that some one had promised to take the child | and care for him, The judge said that who- ever wanted him could appear and give bonds or the boy would have to spend twenty days on the farm.

A List of Rules to Regulate that Matter. Cassell’s Magazine. 1, Bit erect in your chair when reading, and as erect when writing as possible. you bend downward you not only gorge the eyes with blood, but the brain as well, and both suffer, The same rule should apply to the use of the microscope. Get one that will enable you to look at things horizontally, not always vertically, 2. Have a reading lamp for night use. N.B.— In reading the light should be on the book or Paper and the eyes in the shade. If you have no reading lamp, turn your back to the light, and you may read without danger to eyes. 8, Hold the book at your focus; if that begins to get far away, get spectacles. 4, Avoid reading by the flickering light of the e. . 5. Avoid straining the eyes by reading in the gloaming. 6. ing in bed is injuriousasarule. It must be itted, however, that in cases of sleeplessness, when the mind is inclined to ramble over a thousand thoughts a minute, ~— steadies the thoughts and conduces leep. . 7. Do not read much in a railway I myself always do, however, only in a good light, and I invariably carry a good reading lamp to ousands of peo} would travel by night rather than by day if the companies could only see their way to the ex- clusive use of the electric light, 8. Authors should have black ruled paper in- stead of blue, and should never strain eyes by reading too fine types. 9, The bed room blinds should be red or gray, and the head of the bed should be toward the window, 10. Those ladies who not only write but di should not attempt the black seam by night. 11, When youcome to an age that suggests the wearing of spectacles, let no false modesty prevent you from getting a pair. If you have ont = eye an eyeglass will do; otherwise it folly. 12. Go to the wisest and best —— you know of and state your wants and your case plainly and be you will be properly It 13.
