G ARCHITECT VON DELIA, oO. ALCHITES OT, 1245 F st. now, se18-5m* Washington, D.C, One Way to Detect a Thief. From the Lewiston Journal. “Tl tell you howI ran down a thief re- cently,” said the man in the Lewiston police station. “I lost $80in money. I did not saya word. I did not even tell my wife. I hardly told myself. The other day, two years after the Occurrence, a woman in my neighborhood said: ‘By the did you ever find out who stole your $807’ I looked her in the face and said, ‘I never had until just this minute.’ She turned as pale as a ghost and the result was that she paid me $80 and interest on the same for two years,” eee “Block” vs. “Square.” From the Philad: ipbia Inquirer. “That man,” said the observant Philadel- phian, “is from New York, so is his com- panion.” “Those two who just passed us?” “Yes.” “How do you know?” ie “T overheard a few words of their conversa- ion.” “Well.” “One of them said that he was going to “Chestnut and 9th strects,' and the other re- plied that it wis ‘three blocks further across. A Philadelphian would have said he was going to ‘9th and Chestnut,’ and another Philadel- phian might have remarked that it was ‘three Squares out.’ When you hear a man say ‘blocks,’ or, in naming a corner, put the numbered street last, it were well to assume a dignified reserve, for that man is a New Yorker.” —<ee- a For Window Raisers, From the Baltimore Sun. To accommodate those lovable, benevolent people who must have the windows raised when they travel on the cars a correspondent makes this suggestion in a Pittsburg contemp- orary: Let there be acompartment made in every car, or at least one car on every train, for the lovers of fresh air and their own com- fort at any cost to their neighbors, Let this compartment in winter be completely open to the wind, cinders and miscellaneous weather. In summer it might attract another tribe of selfish cranks if the compartments were her- metically sealed. tee New Year Day and No Ice Cut. A New Haven dispatch to the New York Times states that the ice dealers throughout Connecticut are beginning to be thoroughly alarmed at the prospect of no ice harvest this winter. With the first of January at hand and not a pound of ice cut, with the days of sun- light ready to increase in length rapidly, and with not pond even skimmed over with ice, the outlook is far from saegeeeene Most of the New Haven icemen entered upon the sea- sou of 1889 with comparatively small stocks, but elsewhere in the state they were helped out by the large surpius crop which came over from the cold wiuter of 1837-3. Now that is all gous. Allcutting~ last winter were light, aud there are no reserve stocks on hand to speak of in Connecticut. oe ee Spring Styles in Hats for Men. From the Hatter and Furrier. The early spring styles are neat and shapely, with no prominent changes. In derbys the Proportions are small with crowns running from full to medium round. In curls almost everything hes been tried with a preponderance in favor of an open round curl. Some Stanley curls are shown with flat set and others full set. When properly rounded aad set the Stan- ley curl is very neat and suitable for spring wear. Just at this time soft hats are having a boom, particularly in tourist shapes, which under different fanciful names have been put upon the market in very attractive style, Pocket hats and crushers ‘are also in very tive demand. A novelty in a tourist is shown with full stiff brim and soft crown, which makes a very excellent hat. It is stated by fashion authorities that the fashionable color in men’s clothing for spring will be green, an already orders have been given by fashionable tailors for soli isible green in diagonals and worsted. In mixtures also green is the pre- dominant color. Should this prove to be a popular fad there will be undoubtedly a call for green kats, both in solid colors and mix- tures, and it may be well for manufacturers in spare moments to experiment on very dark greens and mixtures and be ready when the time comes. _—__—_ Billiardist Carter in Clover. Eugene Carter is doing so weil in Paris since he left Vignaux that he will probably remain abroad until next spring. A late number of Galignani’s Messenger says: “Eugene Carter, the American cushion car- rom expert, having established himself in more congenial quarters at the Grand cafe, is aston- ishing his iriends by the marked improvement in his game over what he was doing afew weeks ago at Vignaux’s academy. During the last week he bas been vanquishing the French professors who play against him in a most com- plete and satisfactory manner, making runs at cushion carroms of 45, 44 38 in games of 60 points, “Yesterday Mr. Carter received a cable from the Brunswick-Balke-Collender company ask- ing him to enter the $5,000 tournament for all the best American players to take piace in New York next January. He has not yet decided whether he will do this, as he has anticipated nding the winter with Mra, Carter at Monte lo. ‘Some people have been trying to make out,’ said Carter last evening, ‘that I am not much of a billiard player, and in proof of this they point to the fact that I lost a few games at Vignaux’s place. Of course I lost games there, as any other American player would have done, for in the United States we are accustomed to play on level tables and with perfect tools, which I have never had since my arrival in Paris until now. And now thatI have them I em making Frenchmen open their eyes, as the scores show.’ games the last month, and I'm ready to plank down 5,000 francs or more on Carter against Vignaux or any other player for 1,200-point match of cushion carroms,to last three nights, 400 points three py T've raked ] on our friend here, and raking in a few thousands more. isn't it?

Dr. Rankin Will Assume the Place Fri- day—A Letter From Fred Douglass. “No, Iam not superstitions, and to me Fri- day is just as good as any other day on which te take hold of my new duties.” The speaker was the Rev. J. E. Rankin, D.D., the new president of Howard university, now stopping at the Langham, and his remark was addressed toa Stan reporter, So far as ap- Pearances are concerned Dr. Rankin is not a day older than he was when be left the First Congregational church and the city of Wash- ington for Orange Valley, N.J. There may be a little more grey in his hair, but the bright eyes are as clear as ever and the cordial hand- shake has lost none of its affectionate force. shall take charge on Friday morning,” said the president, ‘and I do so under the most pleasing circumstances, The congratulations ave been almost overwhelming; I don't know how I can ever thank my many friends,” A serap-book {ull of chirograpbic specimens, all laudatory of the preschcr-poct is an aggre- gation of expressed good will such as is cen- tered on but tew men, A LETTER FROM FRED DOUGLASS. Prominent among these letters is one from Fred Douglass, a trustee of Howard university and now United States minister to Hayti. It is as follows: Port-av-Parxce, December 7, 1889, My Dear Da. Raxuin: I congratulate you upon your election to the presidency of Howard university, but have far greater reason to con- gratulate the university. You have taken upon you @ great labor of love and have made a great sacrifice, It 18 like you. You could easily have found many positions with less exacting and in many respects more agreeable conditions. Your talents, I might say your character and genius, would open doors on golden hinges before’ you, but you have chosen a place though high yet among the lowly. May Heaven bless youin and for the choice you have made. Your heart (how should I not know it?) is with my poor, per- secuted and struggling people and no man in my range of ae as larger or more helpful powers, You can not only teach tho letier but the spirit of Christanity, so much needed in the capital of our great republic. I uever became reconciled to your absence from Washington; you had a fixed position among the moral and religious forces of that city, and were a terror to evil-doers, It was never your misfortune to be misunderstood; your trumpet gave no uncertain sound, Your lun- guage was never made toconceal your thought. You said what you meant and meant what you said ‘Trimmers took no stock in you, hence the true friends of temperance and of freedom deeply regretted the day that saw you Sree and are glad that you have returned. I had some thought of resigning my trusteeship on account of my absence from the country, but I am reluctant to do so; especially since you are president of theuniversity. I should like to con- tinue with the institution to the end.” Miss Willard, president of the W.C.T.U., wrote a long inspiring letter, in which she said: “It is once more as if we had a brother beloved on duty at the national capital,” REV. JOSEPH COOK'S FEAR, Joseph Cook's letter was full of fear that the responsible duties of president of a university would shut off the fountain of religious poetry for which Dr. Rankin has become famous, but his fears are not well grounded, for as Dr, Rankin said good night to the reporter he said: “I shall still fiud time in wuich to write hymns.” eee Baltimore and Ohio Picking Up. To the Editor of Tar EvENING Stan: Where improvement was not expected and has been done with a new spirit let the record be made! The Hagerstown morning train to Washing- ton city now reaches this capital at 9:15 instead of 9:45, as always heretofore. It arrives upon time and it also leaves Hagerstown a little later than formerly. Thus Frederick City and Hagerstown city people can reach Con- gress and the departments but afew minutes after these have opened that same morning, and the South mountain tops have become suburban to Washington.

The Massachusetts tariff reform league fol- lowed the advice given them and “got to- gether” in large numbers at the Tremont house in Boston yesterdayevening. The occa- sion was the annual dinner of the league. Hon. Henry L. Pierce presided; and among the more notable gentlemen present were Roger Q. Mills of Texas. Thos. G. Sherman of New York, Ed- ward Atkinson, Wm. E. Russell, Jno. M. Forbes, Jno. 8, Farlow, Robt. Bleakie, Elliot of Har- vard college, Chas. Francis Adams, Jno. F. An- drew, Jerome Jones, Robt, Treat Paine, P. A. Collins and others. In his opening address President Pierce re- ferred tothe three great causes before the people—tariff reform, ballot reform and civil service reform. ‘‘And,” he continued, ‘in the struggle before us we have for our leader a man of moral courage, sterling honesty and straightforwardness, th most interesting per- souality in American life—Grover Cleveland.” Hon. Roger Q. Mills was the first speaker in- troduced.

The Happy Termination of a Romantic Courtship in St. Louis. A 8t. Louis, Mo., special to the Philadelphia Press says that Alexander Vest, son of Senator George G. Vest, is the hero of a romantic courtship that has extended over five years, and which yesterday terminated in a marriage. t noon he obtained a license to marry Kath- arine Servis, a social star and an heiress. Miss Servis nearly a year ago jilted Vest a few days before the date set for their marriage, and all was supposed to be over. Her action at the time created quite a flutter in social circles, Vest, who is paymaster for the Granite Moun- tain mine, came here u year ago to wed Miss Servis, The fact that the marriage was to occur was duly chronicled in all the daily papers. The date had been set, but the match met with the most violent opposition on the part of the young lady's mother. A num. ber of Miss Servis’ friends also advised her against the marriage, claiming that young Vest was not settled enough in bis ways to make a good husband. It had been planned that she and her older sister, Miss Alice Servis, should make a trip to Europe, but tle young indy de- cided to remain here and wed the man of ber choice. Forawhile nothing could dissuade her from this course, and as sie could not marry him at her mother’s house she arranged to have the ceremony performed at the home of a mar- ried sister in Ferguson. Just before the day set for the marriage. owever, the young lady gave way to the wishes of her mother and freinds and broke off the engagement and left for Europe, Vest returned dejected and sad to his far-away mountain home minus the pres- ence of the fair young bride he calculated on as his companion. ‘This, 1t was generally supposed, had broken off the marriage forever, bat it turned out otherwise. It was reported a few months later that Vest was to marry a young lady in Mon- tana whom he had known and loved years be- fore in Missouri when both were very young. This story was denied by some of the young man's friends, arly last October Miss Servis returned from Europe and went to reside at her mother's home in the suburbs. She seemed to have lost all desire for society and since she has been back has rarely been seen out. She had retired almost completely from society. The fact was remarked by her friends and con- jectures as to the cause were frequently made. That she and Vest were corresponding does not appear to have been known toanybody ex cept themselves, but the procuring of a mar- riage license by them is conclusive evidence that they haye been. It is the old story of true love breaking through bolts and bi No doubt Vest came to this city on her promise to wed him, and after all their trials and tribulations they are finally to find happiness in each other's society, a THE GRIPPE SPREADING. Deaths in Northern Cities Attributed to the Malady. The increase of the death rate in New York from pneumonia, bronchitis and consumption is causing considerable alarm. La grippe is credited with being at the bottom of the in- creased fatality. Dispatches from New York state that officers and physicians of the board of health admit that the grippe is epidemic in the city. Dr, Edson is quoted as saying yester- day that he was satisfied that there were fully 100,000 cases of grippe in that city. Despite this fect it isannounced that the board of health would take no action to prevent the spread of the disease for the reason that its nature renders such a course useless, The number of deaths reported at the bsireau of vital statistics during the twenty-four hours ended at noon yesterday was 196, an increase over the average of about 100 per cent. ‘Two more prominent names have been added to the list of the victims of the grippe. Mrs, Horace A. Hutchins, wife of the president of the Standard oil company, has died of acute meumonia, brought on by la grippe. Duplessis . Helm, a well-known lawyer, is the other victim. ' He died also from pneumonia, result- ing from a bad attack of la grippe. IN OTHER CITIES, Dispatches say that there are 5,000 cases of grippe in Paterson, N.J. Two more deaths attributed tothe malady are reported from Boston, where it is said the epidemic is abat- ing. George P. Smith, sixty-two years old, a watch- manat the Massachusetis state | aN shot himseif dead yesterday morning while tempo- y insane from au attack of la grippe. Postmusier Sexton of Chicago and many of his clerks are reported as with the grippe, ‘A dispatch from Norfolk says: ‘Twenty-seven cases of the grippe are reported amoag the men on the United States receiving ship frank- lin and forty-five cases at the United States marine hospital there. Michael Hopkins, a prominent dry goods merchant of Utica, N.Y., died there yesterday, Hic was the first victim of la grippe in that city. Calvin 8. Brice, chairman of the nationai democratic committee, is a victim of la grippe. Hie is confined to his Louse at Lima, Ohio, by his illness. IN EUROPE. News from European cities indicate that the epidemic is still raging there. The marquis of Salisbury’s malady is said to be the grippe and many others in London are prostrated, Owing to the prevalence of influenza at Mu- nich the usual New Year reception at the pal- ‘face was not held today. At Copenhagen the epidemic is abating.

American Vessel Owners, Will Resist Seizures tm Colombian Waters. The Philadelphia Press this morning con- tains a New York special stating that the firm of L. Scheff & Co., importers, has sent an armed vessel to Colon and the coast of Panama with | instructions to make forcible resistance if the Colombian gunboat La Popa, which recently seized several trading vessels, should attempt to interfere with ber. Matters have been brought to this crisis, the special says, by the high-handed action of the Colombian author- | ities with reference to the American trade slong the San Blas coast, Merchants in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore have ‘a trade kmounting to several millions annually with the Indians of the Isthmus, 100 to 200 miles south of Colon. The Colombian law requires vessels which desire to trade at the small ports along the isthmus to enter the port of Colon first and, for statistical purposes, to take out a license, ‘The cost of the trading license isabout $50. Amer- ican trade has been increasing of late years along this coast and has been driving out the slow Spaniards of Carthageba and other places. These Spanish merchants resurrected a long- obsolete law which they construed to require all coast-trading vessels to go first to Cartha- gena, their discharge their cargo and pay y duties, and then reloadand retrace to the San Clas or other trading points alonz the isthmus. Such a requirement would of course mean death to American trade. No no- tice of any change was given the American traders. and the seiznre of a vessel was the <irst knowledge they gained of what was on foot. THE FIRST SHIP SEIZED was the schooner Pearl, belonging to James Herron of 14 Water street, New York, She was captured by La Popa on the San Blas coast on October 2. She was taken to Certhacena and held subject to confiscation for smuggling. She 1s still at Carthagena, but Mr. Merron expects to secure the release of the vessel if not of her cargo. He has instructed his captain to settle on the best terms possible. He has not applied to the State department to secure redress, be- cause the vessel sailed under the English flag. Application was made tothe English vice con- sulat Carthagena,who has been in corre- spondence with his superiors, but nothing has m done yet. TWO ScHOoNERS. The next victims were the schooners Julian and Willie, both owned by Foster & Co., im- porters, at 194 Front street, The Willie sailed under the American flag and the Julian under the Dominican, The latter is an American- built vessel and. ie engaged solely in American trade, On learning of the action of the Colombian authorities Foster & Co. sent the schooner Edith B, Coombs under the American flag to bring home the perishable goods from San Blas which the Julian would have taken. The Coombs went to Colon for her license, and she is held there by the authorities, for whi Foster & Co. are unable to learn. nets were laid before the State department at Wash- ington several days ago aud application was made for the active interference of the govern- ment. THE GUN BOAT. La Popa is not a formidable gun boat, She is more properly an armed steam yacht of about 109 tons, It is said she was formerly a pleasure boat owned by Washington E.

In the hearing before the Senate committee on Canadian relations, in New York yesterday, Sylvanus Smith, owner of fishing vessels t Gloucester, said that in ist reciprocity treaty, the American fishery inte ests were booming and the Canadian fleet was laid up on the stocks, What witness had particularly to complain of was that the Canadian fishermen were allowed commercial privileges by this country which were denied us by Canada. Charles H. Pew of John Pew & Son of | Gloucester, speaking as to our fishing industry as compared with Canada, said Canada had the advantage of cheaper labor, their fishing ves- sels were shorter, their boats cost less than ours, the taxon their vessels was not as high as that on ours and their vessels were built of cheaper material, They were also fitted up cheaply. Senator Hoar asked witness for his views asto the value cf crews of fishing vessels of Gloucester for service in the navy in the event of war. Mr. Pew replied that the fishermen were always eagerly sought after to serve in the navy. About one-seventh of the population of Gloucester took active part in the late war. Their calling as fishermen necessarily made them brave. A naval reserve could be formed among them. ‘The first wit: examined at the afternoon session was A. 7. Loveland, a lumber merchant of Saginaw, He bad bought @ large tract of forest lands in the Dominion, as the rapid denuding of the forests of Michigan made such a step necessary for the preserva- tion of his Michigan plant. The point was finally brought out that if better commercial relations were established with Cansda and the export duty of Canada be reduced or taken entirely off of logscut in the Dominion he could float logs cut on his tracts to his mills on the Saginaw, to the detriment of other mill owners in the Saginaw Valley. Though not specially anxious for annexation he would not object to it. The other witnesses were sl vester Cunningham. George Steele and Char! L.
