The Senator is stopping at Welcker's while his own house is undergoing repairs, The Senator had in his employ a young colored man named Henry Kadclufe, who lives near 16th and L Streets northwest. It was this servant's duty to brush the Senator's clothes every day, and the Toney was taken from the clothing yesterday. Detectives Horne and Mahon went to Welcker’s this morning, and after making an investiga- tion of the case they sent for the colored boy. The detectives were in a room adjoining the one in which the Senator was sleeping. Rad- cliffe entered the room, evidently not suspect- ing that the officers were present. “I want the Senator's money,” said Detective jahon. “I havn't got the money,” answered Rad- cliffe. “I tell you I want that money,” said the de- tective sterniy. “Tonly took $10,” said Radcliffe, taking some change from his pocket. > re are the $100 bills?” don’t know.” Then the negro made a quick motion, and the officer picked up the two 100 bills. “How did they get there?” inquired the detective. “They were tuere all day yesterday,” replied Radcliffe. Radeliffe was placed under arrest and locked up on a charge of grand larceny. He has been in the tor’s employ for more than two years, When the detective picked up the two notes the negro sank into a chair and almost fainted, A CHINESE ENTERTAINMENT, Christmas Exercises of the Metropoli- tan Church Mission School. Sei A novel entertainment was given at the Met- ropolitan church last night by theChineseSunday school attached tothatchurch. The entertain- ment was held in the Sunday school room, ina bower of real Chinese lanterns, made especially for the occasion by the pupils, and the scene looked decidedly celestial as the Mongolians in their peculiar dress flitted here and there among the crowd. Three long tables, weighted down with good things, reached around the rear of the hall. On the platform, in front of the desk, a large piece of card board, with a Chinese inscription in black, attracted much attention. Its translation was “happiness,” and it had reference to the Chinese water nymph lilies just in front. Mr. Hall, the super- intendent of the school, explained that at this season of the year every Chinaman had a lily. Af the flower blooms the legend is that it brings happiness. There is another legend connected with this flower, which Mr. Hall ex- plained. The legend, he said, was 3,000 years old in China, and treated of two boys, a good and a bad one. The bad one robbed his brother of everything and gave him a worthiess tract in exchange. Weeping and heart sore the good brother fell to the ground. He was awakened by a good fairy. who told him to dig deep in the hard ground and he would find something which would make all China love him. He set to work and dug for days. At last he came toa lily bulb, which blossomed forth and made him happy. The Chinese call the flower Shui Sin Fa. A program of exercises was then carried out by the young Chinamen. Charley Hong offered prayer, and the members of the school sang and recited the apostles’ creed. Some of the songs were in Chinese and some in English. — little celestials recited verses from the ie. ee THE WEEK OF PRAYER. Arrangements Made by the Local Branch of the Evangelical Alliance.

Meanwhile young Mr. Paff had ascer- tained the character of the check, and when the young man came out of Marshall's store Paff attempted to seize him.

An important decision was made by Judge Emmons, in the East Boston district court yes- terday, in an action brought against a clothing company by Bordman Hall for the recovery of the price paid for a custom-made coat and vest, which the plaintiff alleges did not fit him, From the testimony it appears that the plaintiff ordered a coat and vest to be made for him of an authorized salesmen at the store, and a de- osit was made when the order was given. Plaintiff received his clothes in due time, when he paid for them in full. On trying them on he found they did not fit and returned them to the makers, asking them to refund the money he had paid for them. This the defendants re- fused to do, but offered to alter the clothes so that they would fit or else make the plaintiff another coat and vest. The plaintiff would not accept the offer, saying that he had no more time to be experimented on. The court said he would have to decide in favor of the plain- tiff for a recovery in full of the money paid the defendant on the clothes, _ see. Moving Big Shipbuilding Yards.

Taken by the Blackfeet Indians ina Raid into the United States. A correspondent of the London Graphic who accompanied Lord and Lady Stanley on their trip across the continent writes to that news- paper that the Blackfeet Indians under the famous Crowfoot perhaps retain more of their original character than any of the other tribes, A grand reception was accorded to Lord and Lady Stanley. Lady Alice Stanley and Miss Lyster braved the possibility of being toma- hawked by taking pacific shots with photo- graphic cameras at a war dance by one of the most bellicose of the tribe, He adds: “A cap- tive of one of the chiofs of the Blackfeet is a little white girl about nine years old. She was brought into camp on a pony, dressed in rich bead-work vestments, which ill became her fair hair and little white face. Full of intelligence she sat to be sketched and photographed.

From the London Telegraph, Mr. Henry M, Stanley is a woman-hater. A letter has been unearthed from the ex- plorer in which he gives his views on love and ladies generally. The following is not compli- mentary to the fair sex: ‘Poets and women ap- pear to me to be so soft, so very unlike (at least what I have seen) the rude type of mankind, that one soon feels when talking to them that he must soften his speech and drawl, or affect a singular articulation, lest offense be taken where none was intended. Hence men are sel- dom sincere to women or poets. Have you ever thought of how you looked when speaking toa woman? If my recollection serves me right, I have seen you talk with such an af- fected softness that I cannot compare the man- ner of it to anything better than that ofa strong mun handling a baby—tenderly, gingerly. So! But my pen is carrying me away. 1 wished to say, my dear friend, that I am absolutely uncomfortable when speaking to a woman, un- less she is such a rare one that she will let me hear some common sense. The fact is, I can’t talk towomen. In their presence Iam just as much of a hypocrite as any other man, and it galls me that I must act, and be affected, and parody myself for no earthly reason but be- cause I think, with other men, that to speak or act otherwise would not be appreciated.” - ei lectin ae Montana’s Senate Organtzed.

A determined effort is to be made to induco Mrs, Jefferson Davis to permit the body of her husband to be buricd in Richmond. Mayor J. Taylor Ellyson, who has recently returned from New Orleans, where he attended the obsequies of Mr. Davis, has called a meeting of the offi- cers of the various commercial and business bodies, camps and prominent citizens to take steps for action in the matter. All the people of Richmond are anxious that the final resting lace for the remains of Mr. Davis shall be Richmond. The only point is to bring toa focus this sentiment and submit the result to Mrs, Davis. This the meeting willdo.

Surveyor Lyon attended the examination conducted by Mr. Roosbvelt, and announced himself as willing to do any- thing within his power to enable that gentle- mau to get at the facts, but what the result was could not be learned. Mr, Lyon, however, did not think th as much in the charge, Canvas Backs Very Scarce. ‘New York buyers are taking all the ducks that can be supplied at Havre de Grace and not half the orders from Baltimore and Washing- ton can be filled. The season has been the worst ever known, The canvas backs are un- precedentedly scarce and the red heads are bringing canvas back prices. The approach of Christmas always doubles the demand, and this year they are heavier than ever. A very clever trick has been played con- siderable success and profit, Ducke from Cur- rituek Sound, N.C., aud other big ducking waters down the coast have been quietly shipped to Havre de Grace and sold to eager New Yorkers as the real Chesapeake bird. In this way the southerners get several prices for their ducks, since if they shipped them to New York direct they would bring just about one- third of what is paid for them in Havre do Paes ease CSE Ney ie The World Will Not Turn Backward.
