See the advertisement, mpany of Hartford, | FOR PUBLIC BATHS. Congress Asked for an Appropriation to Make a Bathing Beach. A bill wil] be introduced in Congress in- structing the District Commissioners ‘‘to con- struct a beach and dressing hoases upon the | east shore of the tidal reservoir against the | Washington monument grounds and to main- tain the same for the purpose of free public | bathing under such regulations as they shall deem to be for the public welfare: and the Sec- retary of Waris requested to permit such use of the pablie domain as may be required to ac- complish the objects above set forth.” The bill provides for an appropriation of $3,000, to be immediately available for the purposes of the bill. Accompanying the bill a petition will be sent to Congress signed by W. X. Stevens, pres- ident; W. L. Phillips, vice president; ig B Clark, secretary, aud P. L. Tate. treasurer of the Washington beach association, as follows: “In presenting the accompanying bil! for your consideration the undersigned, officers of the Washington beach association, beg leave to state concerning its object and the necessity for its euactment as follows: Evesy year many | persons are drowned in the Potomac. Some ecause they could not swim, others because they stole away to get out of the policeman’s reach and were consequently beyond belp in their time of need, Every person over five years old should be able to swim so well as to feel perfectly at ease in deep water. jesides the residents of the city there are hundreds of persons employed in the depart- ments who cannot leave their duties to go to the sea shore inthe heated term and who would glally avail themselves of the luxury of frequent bathing if suitable place could be had in open water. Even home bath tubs can- not be had by all, and they do not offer to any that invigorating tonic which comes from the relaxation of open water bathing with family and friends to help enjoy it. This subject has been more or less discussed in the papers ever year, but none took measures to accomplisl the desired end until this association was | formed with the following stated objects: To enable ladies, girls and children as well as men and boys to obtain the benefits and pleasure of open water bathing. To form a suitable beach for bathing purposes at a point on the Potomac river convenient to the Washington public. To maintain order and decorum upon the beach and its b phere. and toenforce such regulations a# tend to the free enjoyment of the beach asa bathing place for all respectable aud well-disposed persons, ‘The first necessity was a place where there is no current to enter the water. A location was selected beside the monument lot. A narrow strip of the bottom and shore was graded and covered with sand; asmall rough house was built with two compartments for dressing, and this little beginning was the lively scene from morning till night, even until the weather was too cool for comfort. Over 150 boys a day on an average bathed freely on this beach,even though the house was not open to them and they bad to hide in the tall weeds to dress. The experiment was a success and met with universal approbation and large promises of membership fer the coming sea- son. But nowa more roomy beach is desir- able in order that the whole public may enjoy it freely under proper restrictions as to cloth- ing and conduct. By consulting with Col. Hains, who heartily endorses this move, we have ascertained that the expense of forming the sea-wall and making the fill required ac- cording to the present plan of filling the flats would grade a beach 100 feet wide from a line 5 feet deep under water at low tide and cover the same with sund aud gravel to the required depth to maintain its stability, and build suit- able dressing houses with separate personel compartments, ‘To make a beautiful beach for | 500 feet along the shore, graded from the level of the ball ground to deep water, cover it with sand and provide houses to accommodate 100 bathers at a time, would cost only $3,000, and about that much would be spent on that shore without the beach. Under the direction of the | Commissioners Major Moore furnished police- | men to patrol this region and the boys bathed in safety under a restraining hand. “We now ask that the said Commissioners be instructed | by Congress to take charge of the whole mat- ter for the publie bencfit. “This matter should be acted upon without delay, because work is now being done which might be saved by the beach plan of construc- tion.” a Land for the Zoological Park. Mr. W. B. Webb has filed in the District Court on behalf of the commissioners of the zoological park a petition for the appointment of appraisers for about 35 acres of land needed for the park. Most of those owning the prop- erty required have consented to take the amounts fixed by the commission, but in the cases of Pactticus Ord, J. P. Klingle and others declination of the offers made tor their prop- erty renders it necessary to ask for appraisers. sot Teco Good Templars’ Meetings.

C. T. U. Want the Question Submitted to a Vote of the People. Ata public meeting held yesterday at Foun- dry church under the auspices of the W. C. T- U. a resoiution was adopted requesting Repre- sentative Cutcheon of Michigan to introduce a bill in Congress providing for a vote in the District on the question of prohibition. Mr. Cutcheon, who was present, made an address, in which he said that public senti- ment must support all temperance legislation or else it would prove to be a failure. He thought that a general prohibitory law could not be enforced if passed, but he was in favor of oy roan that would occupy an advanced ition in the temperance campaign. P Representative Herr of fows spoke of the results of the prohibitory laws in his state. o A Wyndham Chat. No English actor, few English gentlemen of any profession, enjoys a wider social popu- larity than Charles Wyndham. First he is a veritable “king of clubs,” and it isa vast land isclubland, At the best London clubs the actor is seen now and again, and very often at aclub of his own name, the “Wyndham,” in St. James’ square near to where the London Library with its treasure-trove walla keeps its grim scholarly state. The “Savage” and the “Beefsteak,” these merry gatherings know him well, Then he has a tiny little club supper room all to himself. Itis called the “Yacht” and is in the Criterion theater building, off Piceadi!ly circus, “remaining,” as he laugh- ingly says, “anchored for purposes of personal convenience and never going to sea.” acht is a little supper room fitted up exactly Tika the mloon of sn ocean pleasure yacht. There are port holes aud a huge compass. There are cushioned seats ranged around the wall, and the waiters are in uniform smacking of the sen, One becomes just a wee bit seasick on entering this odd little room, but there is no ‘mal de mer” about the exquisite supper, nor yet the well- selected guests, numbering with the host and hostess never more than fourteen, An actor or two, always a member,or two of the ‘fourth estate.” the honored craft of journalism. a doctor or two, a painter and “a city man.” For the latter is power. the city,” to use the talk of the financial portion of ousy London, is a most interesting character. This city man, at the Yacht suppers, is fre- quently Col. North, the “nitrate king.” with his ruddy Yorkshire face and his brusque, quaint manner aud his amusing north counties twang of speech. There is something easy, solid. breezy and matter-of-fact in the usual representative Yorkshire man. Talking near him is the Rev. Hugh Chapman, or “Father Hugh,” as he is called, the eccentric, charitable vicar of St. Luke's in Camberwell, one of London's suburbs. Father Hugh hikes Charles Wyndham, whom he calls “my friend David Garrick, presching tender heart sermons night after night, wisile 1, alas! can preach only on Sundays’ ”, An actor often present is Henry Irving, the particular “own familiar friend” of the versatile Wyndham, ‘The two began the battle of life together, and were very poor. proud and ambitious, Indeed Wyndham often called the ‘Henry Irving of comedy.” Next to the Yacht suppers, presided over by the host and hostess, Mrs. Charles Wyndham, a charming lady, full of tact and gentleness, it is au event the “first night” Criterion stage sup- per. After the play the stage becomes a huge supper room, Guests specially invited gladly avai themselves of the chance to see and ad mure the other guests, The Duchess of Ab corn, a beautitul and gifted Irish lady, chats with Miss Mary Moore and Mra. Wyndham, The former is Mr. Wyndham’s leading lady. In private life she is Mistress Albery, the | widow of James Al the distinguished | dramatist, who wr Two Roses” and other delightful plays, “Sweet Mary Moore,” as she is called everywhere, seems like a young girl instead of a Young widow, mother of two sturdy baby boys, ‘She is Mrs. Bronson Howard's in- timate chum, and Mrs, H. is “Alice,” the only sister of “Charlie Wyndham.” Mrs, Wyndham is a great friend of “Sweet Mary,” and writes her charming letters from the London home of the Wyndhams. As long as she could endure the climate Mrs. W. remained here, but, alas! like the most of us, she got “the grip” in New York and hurried home to St. John's Wood, where i at the “Manor house” she keeps the home ; nest, ready for her dear lord’s return, nd the Manor house?” you ask! Ah! would Tcould take you there on the swift wings of | fancy. It is a stone mansion, flower embow- ered and just off a lovely ‘park. Twenty minutes by rail about will bring you there from the Charing Cross railway station, The house itself is quiet and comfortable, but its interior, filled with curios, would take columns | to describe.

Stockett Matthews, a prominent Baltimore lawyer and for many years the leading republi- can in Maryland, died in street sar Saturday evening on his way home from his office. Death was caused by heart failure, Mr. Mat- thews wae about fifty-eight years old. He was born in Annapolis and belonged to an old Maryland family. He studied law and soon became noted for his eloquent and forcible ar- This | guments at the bar. He was particularly suc- cessiul in criminal cases, Before the war he was an earnest advocate of the abolition of slavery and was always « strong Union man and republican, He figured prominently in the counsels of his party in nis state, and beg a fine speaker took part in several national cam- paigns, speaking in Pennsylvania, Oho and other states, He was the strongest advocate of rotection in Maryland. He had been a mem- er of the legislature and for a long time was United States registrar in bankruptcy. Presi- dent Hayes nominated him to succced Jndge Giles as judge of the United States district ‘The opposition to him by democratic Senators led to the withdrawal of his name. He never held any prominent po- litical office. He leaves a wife and one daughter. ROASTED TO DEATH. Ten Italians Burned to a Crisp in a Boston Tenement. Soon after midnight yesterday fire broke out in the dwelling house Nos, 259 and 261 North Bond street, Boston, occupied mostly by Italians, and ten persons were quickly burned to death, three others fatally injured and six more were seriously, if not mortally hurt. It is believed that the fire started in the clothing store of Maurice Rubey, on the first floor, and some minutes before it was discovered it had eaten through the partition wall of the hallway which contained the stairs leading to the tene- ments above. The wooden stairway was like a tallow candle, and the flames shot up like a flash. Ina moment more the flames had taken hold on the rear stairways ascending from the same hallway and thus cut off all escape for the occupants, It was not until after the fire had been practically extinquished that the in- terior of what was then but a shell could be examined, Chief Webber, followed by several firemen, went into the buiiding at a little after 1 o'clock, and with difficulty ascended to the upper floors, ‘The stairways from the street tothe second floor were completely burned away, When the chief and his companions reached the upper floor a sight that horrified them met their eyes, KILLED WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE. Under one of the windows crouched a human form, burned to acrisp almost, the two palms clasped together and kneeling as though at prayer. Further search showed in other parts of the ine floor seven other human forms coy- ered with cinders and ashes, naked and disclos- ing limbs that had been torn asunder by fall parts of the building. Seeing their excape from the floors below to the street impossible, because the stairs were roaring masses of fire. the terrified victims had evidently rushed to the upper floor in their attempts to escape and had been roasted as though held over a fur- nace, It now appears that the most probable theory of the cause of the fire is that it resulted from a kerosene lamp thrown in a drunken row. Albert Smith, who lives just in the rear of the burned building, says that just before mid- night he heard a row in the back room of the burned house and looking out saw three men quarreling. One man threw a lighted lamp at another and the flames followed. eae = DE MORES HIT DREYFUS. But For a Lucky Fall of His Arm He Would Have Killed Him, The handsome young Marquis de Mores winged M. Dreyfus in their duel at Comines, Brussels, yesterday. The Herald correspondent saw the affair and gives a graphic accouat. At the word of command M. Dreyfus fired and missed. The marquis aimed more deliberately and sent a ball into the arm of his opponent just above the elbow joint. The wound is pain- ful, but not serious, Had it not been for the fact that M. Dreyfus dropped his arm immedi- ately on firing it is very probable that he would have received the bullet in his heart, M. Drey- fus, in a feverish condition, with his arm ban- daged and greatly swollen, is now lying at Lille, where he will remain until the doctors allow him to return to Paris. M.de Mores, ac- companied by his seconds, reached Paris yes- terday evening in time for dinner. The passage in La National which caused the duel ix leaded “The Danghters of Judea and Sous of Kuights.” The tollowing is the part re- fering to Mores: ‘I wish to say the lust word about the meeting at Neuilly. A certain Mar- quis de Mores there gave vent to the cry of ‘Gual for the Gauls.’ Now it happens that this ‘ull-blooded Gaul has a Spanish title, is the son of the duke of Vallombrosa, an Italian title which rhymes with bankruptcy, und, if we are rightly informed, he married a Miss Hoffman of New York, who is neither a Christian nor a Gaul.” The article continues with a list of French- men who have married into the worid of the hilds, and thus concludes: “This enumeration is sufticieut to prove that noble gentlemen of the noble Faubourgs know what they are about in their iesailiauces, especiaily when they have solid reasons for these mesalliances, If they take our daughters they don't take them, in the words of Shakspeare, ‘naked,’ though many would well be worth it. But that is « question Between themselves and their consciences, But at least they should show some decency. ‘They take the daughters and the money, but they don't wipe the boots which were paid for with a dowery or a father's gray hairs. That is the behavior of fancy men.” — —— A New German Minister. Workmen in Germany are much gratified at the emperor's selection of Freiherr von Ber- lepsch as minister of commerce and industry in succession to Prince Bismarck, resigned. ‘The new minister during the great coal strikes in the Rhenish districts ust summer proved a good friend to the poor miners, and he was Bond, superintendent, in charge—had a largely attended meeting in Golden Cross hall Satur- day afternoon, and initiated five new mem- bers. Officers were installed as follows: Harry J.T.; Mamie Zelle, V.T.; Carrie Elsie Sellers, K.8.; Kate Bowbcer, e Roberts, T.; Grace Connolly, M.; Fannie Calvert, D.M.; Walter Plumley,’ G.: Alfred Falkoner, S.; Marie Bailey, IJHLS.: Estelle Emersou, L.H.S., and Kate Bowbeer, ee A piano solo was rendered by Minnie berts; recitations were given by Marie Bailey and Lula Danenhower; vocal solos were rendered by Nellie Farlee, Mamie La Zelle and Daisy Taylor; a piano and tambourine duet by Mamie La Zelle and Frank Wallard, and a song by the choir, Undine temple, Mrs, Emma F, Bishop, s1 intendent, in charge, had seventy-two members in attendance at Melford hall Saturday after- noon. initiated ten uew members dnd received twenty-three propositions for membership. A Piano solo was rendered by Inez De Montre- Ville; recitations were given by Josie Dulaney, Emma Bishop and Emma Carsten; readings by Lillian Dorsey, Hallie Chappel and Florence Callahan, and vocal trios by La Rue and Annie die Litzinger and Nellie Bishop. almost their only champion in high places, But for him the military would have treated the strikers as rebels, and it was through his tact and energy that the strike was finally brought toan end. The emperor has bad several con- ferences with Berlepsch, ani invited him to supper the other night. The immediate result is expected to be that the mining department will be separated from the minisiry of public works and placed under the control of the ministry of commerce. Beheaded Himself.

The Great Change Worked by the Aban- donment of the Canal. ‘The ntate department has issued a report by Consul Vifquain on the trade and commerce of Colon, in which he says: The decadence of Colon and the almost entire Prostration of all businessat this place since the collapse of the canal becomes more and more apparent. It very often happens that not a soli- tary vessel is to be found in this harbor, a thing that was never known here even previous to 1880 and after 1369, and yet it is but a short while ago since vessels were obliged to be anchored out for days in waiting for dock room at which to unload their respective cargoes. The local trafic of the isthmus during the time that work was being pushed on the caual had reached vast proportions. The line of the canal, between here and Panama, about fifty miles, was a vast bivouac, where the most energetic of all nationalities and races had congregated to amass wealth, and many have done 80, expecially among the Chinese portion ofit. Wages were high, prmcely saiaries were paid, money was mide easy aud expended most freely. Day time was not enough; the nights themselves were turned into day, and, literally speaking, the twenty-four hours of the day were a constant draft on various in- dustries. The expression the most fitting is, “it was bedlam let loose,” and people cannot have any idea of what the isthmus was in 1885, 1886, 1887 aud part of 1838, unless they have seen it, Forty towns had sprung up on the line in almost as many miles, every one of them thriv- ing, areal bechive of people; in fact, all of them bent not only at changing the physical aspect of the land but in turning a tropical jungle of heretofore a death-dealing clime into a new Babylon, for never was there such a con- fusion of tongues and a col races from allover the world. were fighting back the diseases manfully,dying at once without murmur, or living, in spite of clime, lives of the most reckless dissipation when at leisure. It is not a wonder that so many have died; it isa wonder that so many have lived, Indeed, itcan be truthfully said that “grim death got exhausted at the task” and retreated to his lair, The isthmus had become habitable; before the advent of this reckless throng it was not. And what has be- come of it all? Vanished. The ple have all gone, business is dead on the line, the local trattic ‘is dead, the line of the canal, once—only a’ short while ago — the liveliest place on the globe, 15 dead; the rank vegetation of the tropics is growing denser, it seems, for the rest it has had, hid- ing from view railroad trains, dredges and all the paraphernalia of the canal contractors, who left their implements of all sorts as if work were to have been resumed im the morning. Colon and Panama still live, but that is all, merely by-way stations for the traffic across the isthmus eastward and westward between two hemispheres, In Colon rents have fallen off 500 per cent in three months, and still on the decline. The Panama railroad, which in 1888 paid 23.50 per cent of dividends, willin 1889 pay only 9 per cent. This line in 1888 carried 1,300,000 pas- sengers (4,000 every day); this year it may earry probably 500,000, if so many, But the transit trafic has not suffered; on the contrary, it is only the local traffic which in a short six mouths has suffered a loss of necrly 110,000 tons of imports; that isto say, this much has been lost to the local trade.” As a result nearly two-thirds of the business houses in Colon are closed up, and bankrupt sales are a daily occurrence. Post Office Department Changes The following changes have been made in the office of second assistant postmaster gen- eral; John H. Prior of Maryland promoted from $1,000 to $1,200; John P. Earnest of New York has been appointed on transfer from War department to a $1,000 clerkship; Jos. M. Park of Pennsylvania, 600 clerk, removed; Jos. H. Reeve of New York, a 21,600 clerk, resigned; Wm. Finn of Missouri, a $1,200 clerk, resigned. The Warmest January. The weather crop bulletin of the signal office says: “The month of January has been much warmer than usual over the greater portion of the country east of the Rocky mountains, al- though the excess of temperature in the cen- tral valleys is somewhat less than it was during December, 1889, ‘The greatest departures from the normal temperature occurred in the mid- die Atlantic states and the lower lake region, where the monthly mean ranged from 10 de- grees to 13 degrees above the normal, and this excess in temperature was greater than that of the previous month in this section, In the Ohio and central Mississippi valleys, and gen- erally throughout the southern states, it was from 10 degrees to 12 acgrees warmer than usual, while in the upper Mississippi valley and southern New England the mean temperature of the month ranged from 5 degrees to 8 de- grees above the normal. The month was colder than usual from Dakota and Colorado westward to the Pacific coast. The month was noticeable for the small number of cold waves occurring. There was more rain than usual in the lake region, the Ohio valley, the central Mississippi and Missonri valleys. ‘The precipi- tation on the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida and along the gulf coast was much less than usual, the deficiency in the south Atlantic and east gulf states and southeast New England ranging from 2 to 4 inches, Senator Farwell in England. Senator Farwell of Illinois, who went to Europe for his health some time ago, was seen by an interviewer Saturday at his luxurious apartments in the Hotel Victoria, London, which, however, he quits disgusted with the cooking. He expressed himself as delighted with the English climate, and says he feels bet- ter than he has for two years. He looks upon the recent large investment of British capital in the United States as the surest proof of the prosperity that results trom a protective tariff. He considers the currency question the great- est issue of the day. Last week he dined with the manager of the National Provincial bank, who is 4 strong bimetalist; an ex-manager of the Bank of England, who has similar views, and Mr. Goschen, M.P., who is a bimetalist at heart, but keeps his ideas to himself for fear of imperiliag his office. These three voiced the sentiment of the commercial world here and this guarantees a speedy and satisfactory set- tlement of the silver question, Senator Far- well will return to America in about six weeks. ae ee London Socialists at War Among Them- selves.

Colquitt of Georgia lectured to an unusually large audience at the meeting of the American temperance union in New York yesterday, He made an enthusiastic speech on the temperance question, in the course of which he said: “You will not object if I say that Iam a democrat, I want to say that democracy and drunkenness are not the same thing, and i don’t wish any of my democratic friends to entertain the idea that being in favor of temperance is being opposed to democracy. Both parties are afraid of the liquor vote. There would be no talk of solving the race problem if the rum shops were closed.” ‘The address was frequently applauded, ——— Dr. John Chew Gibson, one of the oldest and best known practicing physicians in Talbot county, Md., is dead.
