A Prospect That They Will Be Plentitul and Cheap. ‘The indications are that during the coming Lenten season fresh fish will sell cheaper than for many years. The winter bas been such an open one that fish have been received every day from some point down the river. “The present season,” said Inspector Harris to a Sraz reporter, “has been an unusual one. To receive fresh fish every day during the win- ter, as we have done, is something unusual— in fact unprecedented—here. What the deal- ers call ‘trash fish’ have been coming all win- ter, are yellow perch, cat fish and eels. SHAD AND HEBRING have made their appearance now.

To the Editor of Tux Evestya Stan: If it be not too late to make a suggestion, why not remove the statue of Jackson to the site of the basin in the lawn northof the execu- tive mension, thus leaving Lafayette square exclusively forthe memorial to the French patriot to be placed where Jackson's statue now is? There will be such an incongruity between the Lafayette memorial and the equestrian | statue of Jackson (or of Washington), if placed | im proximity, that the effect of both will be | impaired. An equestrian statue in front of the | White House would not detract from the memoria! in the center of ee a la =. Like Two Hens on One Nest. To the Editor of Tux Eventye Stan: In the matter of the monuments allow me to suggest that Jackson’s be removed to the cen- ter of Judiciary square and that square be called Jackson square. The Lafayette monu- ment is too elaborate to divide ground with anf other and correct taste demands that but ene should occupy a square no larger than that. It would look like two heus on one nest. J. Suitu. ———— A Policeman Who Had His Hands Full. There was a lively struggle last Friday after- noon near 17th and P streets between Police- man Clifford Grant and three residents of “Foggy Bottom.” They were Michael and Rich- ard Meany and Edward Cunningham. There Was « warrant out for Michael Meany’s arrest on a charge of assaulting Mrs. Hoffman in her saloon on 20th street. When placed under arrest his companions told him not to go and attempted to rescue the prisoner from the officer. so it is charged. Then the struggle took place and both the officer and one of the risoners were injured. The officer was assisted | i citizens and the three men were locked up. The cuses were tried in the Police Court Sat- urday afternoon. Michael Meany was fined $5 and put under his personal bonds. Kichard | Meauy and Edward Cunningham were tried on | @ charge of using personal violence toward | Officer Grant and were held in $500 each for the grand jury. —>—___ Threatened His Father.

The anuiversary of St. John’s or- | phanage was celebrated after the afternoon | Services and the church was crowded with friends of the good work. Rev. Dr. Douglas | and Bishp Paret made addressea. Parson Bouldin’s Spotted Horse. Preacher Bouldin’s old spotted horse was the cause of the minister's being before Judge Miller again Saturday. This time Agent Key found the horse attached to what be termed a “pight-liner.” ven the boys in the city are disgusted at the sight presented by the animal,” said Agent Key, “and when they see it coming they sing: ‘I think [ heard somebody say, Rags and bones are turning out today.’” N said counsel, horse ain't but “leven y'ars old.” “Brother Bouldin’s horses seldom get over ten years old,” the judge remarked. “Judge, yo’ honor,” said the minister, “dat horse's teeth is sharp us a colt’s.” “I guess they have been filed down,” re- marked Judgs Miller. Preacher Bouldin attributed his legal trables to prejudice on the part of Agent Key, but Judge Miller tined him #10 just the same. Sentence was suspended until the animal is again seen attached toa vehicle deemed to be too heavy for it to draw. ginectase na Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: J. F.

Ex-Chief Peabody Tells How Many | The Prospects of the Coming Base Ball Might Be Saved. Mr. J. J. Peabody, who was nent as & fireman in old times and as chief of the old vol- Unteer fire department from 1862 to 1864, con- versing with a Stam reporter in reference to the recent fire at Tracy's, said: “One lesson to be learned is that people should be educated not only in the matter of fighting and extinguishing fires but in the methods of self-preservation and of saving lives. Had those in the building retained presence of mind and followed the rules which have been published in all large cities and taken, I believe, from those adopted by the London fire department, there would probably have been no loss of life. These rules are as follows.” said Mr, Peabody, * printed manual: ‘THE RULES. 1, Acquaint yourselves with the best means of exit, both at the bottom and top of the house, 2 Send immediately to the nearest telegraph box or engine house. 8. Avoid all confusion. Admit no one but firemen, men, friend or neighbor. 4. Ifa lady's dress is on fire she should en- hence to roll herself in a rug, carpet or woolen garment. 5. ‘void leaving the doors and windows of the room on fire open, as the current of air in- creases the force of the flames. 6. If bed or curtain is on fire beaton the flames Sol el gaia garment till the flames 1g froma fire creep or crawl with your face to the floor. 8. If the staircase be burning so as to cut off all communication, endeavor to escape from the window; if no assistance is at hand and you are in extremity, tie the sheets ether, and, having fastened ©. e end to some heavy piece of furniture, let down the women and children one by one, by tying the line of sheets around the waist; you can easily let yourself down when the helpless :re saved. 9. If you can neither make your way upward or downward, get into a front room; if there is a family, see that they are all collected here, and keep the door closed as much as possible; remember that smoke always follows a draft and fire always rushes after smoke. There is al- ways from eight to ten inches of pure air close to the ground; if you cannot, therefore, walk upright through the smoke, drop on your hands and knees and thus progress; a wet hand- kerchief or a piece of flannel, or a worsted stocking drawn on the face, permits breathing and to @ great extent excludes the smoke. 10. Do not go into an apartment where there is a dense smoke, if you can help it, without a saturated sponge or wet handkerchief. LIVES MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED. Mr. Peabody, continuing, said: ‘These rules are excellent; all that are required if people Would only maintain presence of mind, act with coolness and follow them. Now we do not know if the Secretary followed any of them. He was on the floor when found, but says it was like a nightmare to him. He probably was only eter a awakened when overcome, Had he followed rule seven and crawled on his hands and knees he might have escaped being overcome, He could have reached the window and have been rescued by the hook and ladder truck, which was certainly on the ground in time to have rendered such service. Then look at rule eight. The parties could all have reached the window, but must have been bewildered. Had Mrs, ‘Tracy remained inside one minute longer the heok and ladder men would have rescued her. Her death was caused by the fall in getting out of the window. The cook who went on the roof seems to have heeu one who knew the top means of exit and she was rescued by the firemen, as would also have been the French maid had she followed her. In short, if the family and inmates had been thoroughly educated in the above rules and retained self-possession enough to have fol- lowed the directions all would have been saved, Had they run to the windows und remained all would have been saved, From all I have heard or read of this fire the fire department Was prompt and that there was loss of life is no fault of theirs.” —— NON-PARTISAN TEMPERANCE. The First Meeting of an Organization that Wants Prohibition Without Politics. The Washington auxiliary of the Non-partisan Woman's Christian Temperance union has been active since its organization on Thursday last. A number of its members claim that a little explanation is necessary 4s to the words “non-partisan,” and they all unite in saying that there are no non-partisan individuals among earncst-thinking women. Mrs. Foster, the organizer, is not a non-partisan in her individual political work, but she desires to unite women of all parties and of all religious sects in one grand army to do battle against intemperance, The new District union started out with a membership of one hundred and twenty-five, and most of these were present in the great multitude at the First Congregational church yesterday afternoon when the union's first ublic meeting was held. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Eorge Elliott, pastor of Foundry M.E, church, was followed by a brief address from Mrs. McKendree Reiley, and then came Repre- sentative Stewart of Georgia. His eloquence was directed at the destructiveness of the liquor traffic and his arguments were on the line of absolute prohibition. Representative E. A. Morse of Massachusetts made an appeal for united action on the part of Christian people to the end that the liquor traffic be wiped ont. In the closing address Mrs, J. Ellen Foster said that the Nou-partisan union knew nothing of the politica! issues of the day; it was in the field to fight for total abstinence and prohibi- tion. It could not be used to aid any political arty. Of Miss Willard’s section of the W.C.T. J. Mrs, Foster said that its annual convention pledges its members to a party which does not exist in some states. 5 The speeches were all greeted with much applause, —_——_ He Plead Gullty. John E.

A meeting of the executive committee of the national democratic league clubs was held Sat- urday afternoon at the Ebbitt house. Hon. Chauncey F, Black of Pennsylvania presided. E. B. Whitney of New York, the secretary, re- ported that advices from the three thousand clubs which composed the league was that all of them had retained their organization and would go into the coming campaign with in- creased membership. Congressman Flower of New York, on behalf of the congressional demo- cratic committee, stated that that committee desired to have the Rcd lesa of the league mocratic success. A resolution to sct together was adopted. The committee will’ bold another meeting on March 1. Reckless Driving. and New York svenue Friday, Those huge wagons dash ebout our streets with the most Season. There is undoubtedly a tendency on the part of eigbt clubs of the national base ball league to reduce the league to that number by dropping out Washington and Indianapolis. The enlargement to ten clubs was in the nature ofa bluff with the idea of frightening ‘the brotherhood, but the time has now come for action, and the leaders are beginning to realize the necessity of reefing a little sail before facing the storm of competition that awaits them. League men do not like to admit it, but the fact is their hopes of securing a victory over the brotherhood in the courts are well-nigh o: hausted, and they see that it is going to be a fight far life or death, not in the forum but in the diamond. In view of this state of affairs they are going to bend all their energies $0 the re-establishment of the league's good health, and there are pretty sure evidences at hand just now to show that at the spring. meet- ing, which will take place a little ) ted than two weeks hence, the league will luce the number of clubs to eight by a ogee the franchises of two of the clubs. Who be the victims? HOW IT MAY BE DONE, The league can sever connection with club by accepting its resignation, by expelling it or by buying it justas any private speculator would. In the last-named case it then decides whether to run the club or let it drop, and if this be done at Cleveland on the 4th of March the dropping policy will be adopted. John B. Day has not yet succeeded in getting aclub of league players together to compete against the New York brotherhood, the Brook- lyn league and the Brooklyn brotherhood, and is said to have his eyes on some wholes club, such as Indianapolis. His plan is thought to be toinduce the league to buy the Hoosier franchise and then to buy the men from the league, If this is done Washington will also probably go. There are very many ipeorle here who be- lieve that Mr. Hewett will be ready in March to meet the league a little more than half way. He has by his own declaration admitted that he was willing to seil and that he had s price, but that he had found no one willing to go high enough to reach him. When a league presi- dent and the league itself find themselves in such straits as those that are apparent in the present instances such a thing as a dicker is by no means improbable, (THE OUTLOOK NOT ENCOURAGING, But if Hewett sells Washington does not stand much of a show of having any profes- sional base ball played here next season and the outlook is nofat all gratifying to the e: thusiasts, If this state of affairs had culmi- nated earlier in the winter we would have stood a good show, for then there would have been plenty of people anxious to place a club here in one of the minor leagues, but now ail plang are laid, all money invested, and by the 4th of March the schedules will have been made up, and it looks pretty blue for the local cranks, AND INDIANAPOLIS, TOO, In this line of thought the following special to the Philadelphia Press from Indianapolis is interesting: Notwithstanding reported denialsin the strongest kind of language, the story that In- dianapolis will not be in the league next season continues to go the rounds with variations and modifications in some particulars, It mast be admitted that the outlook is not reassuring, and that after all the theories of the base ball writers who are trying to locate Indianapolis outside the league may prove to be correct. The New York club has no players who can be expected to draw crowds as counter attrac- tions to the old favorites and there does not just now appear to be a strong probability that Mr. Day will succeed in getting together a good team of new players before the opening of the season. It is hard to believe that In- dianapolis is to be allowed to have the best club in the league while the brotherhood has the favorite players in other cities. With such players as Glasscock, Denny and the rest of the Hoosiers who have signed con- tracts for next year Day would expect to draw about as large crowds to sce his New York er as would go to see the old favorites and e might make their venture unprofitable for them even if he made no money for himself, With a new and rather formidable competitor the league will surcly not maintain its best team in a city where it has no competition and where the patronage is almost the poorest in the business, allowing itself to be forced from the more profitable field, Mr, Brush’s team is therefore, it would seem, likely to be trans- terred to a better and more profitable point of attractio.. ee Under the Triple Pledge.

A Woman to Fight For Her Rights, There was an exciting scene in Justice Brad- well’s court at the Armory in Chicago Satur- day when Miss Kate Kane, a female lawyer somewhat distinguished for her ability to take care of herself, stood up for her rights. She had a case in court and was sitting at the table provided for lawyers when the colored janitor of the building, who didn’t know her, ordered her away, “Go away,” indignantly replied Miss Kane, who is quite large and muscular, “You get out, I say!” repeated the janitor. “IT will not; get away from me.” At this the colored mun step) to the side of the lawyer and was about to take hold of her wher she drew back and struck him a violent blow in the mouth with her overshoe.

See auction advt ee CLEVELAND AND BALLOT REFORM The Saxton Bill—His Relations With Gov. Hull. Mr. Frank Richardson sends the following to the Baltimore Sun: It has been assumed by a number of journals, from the recent conversation had by me with Mr. Cleveland, that he favors the Saxton bill, now pending in the New York legislature. Mr. Cleveland may or may not favor that measure, but at the timo of my conversation with him he had come to no conclusion in regard to it and had not even read it, He said the bill had been sent to him by Mr. Saxton, and was then lying on bis table with the envelope unbroken. He expressed the wish that some measure might be agreed upon which would meet the views of the legislature and of Gov. Hill and thus become a law, Of Gov. Hill personally he spoke in the most — terms, and cer- tainly nothing which he said could leave the least impression sustaining the allegations so constantly made by ill-natured persons of hos- tility between him and the governor. He made no comment of any kind on the present atti- tude or supposed attitude of Gov. Hill on bal- Jot reform, but remarked with emphasis that he approved altogether of Gov. Hill's first veto of the ballot reform bill sent to him by the re- publicans of the New York legislature. FAR coe CODY’S GIFT RETURNED. President Carnot Not to Be Wheedlea by a Showman’s Memento. From the New York Herald. Coi. Cody (Buffalo Bill) has received a bluff from President Carnot. Col. Cody presented M. Carnot with a magnificent “Rochester” lump to adorn the vestibule of the Elysee, but which was returned by the president with a note from Gen. Brugere, his secretary, saying that the president thanked the colonel for his kind attention, but that he could not accept it, having made the rule never to take gifts’ from any one, and he could not depart from it even in this case. The lamp is nine feet high, made of carved brass on a table of Mexican onyx twenty-eight inches square. On a plaque of onyx fastened to the lamp rod is attached a large buffalo head, captured by Col. Cody on the frontiers, The shade of the lamp is thirty- seven inches in diameter and is made of scarlet silk, covered with moss, green tuile, embroid- ered with poppies and corn flowers. The cost of the lamp was 5,000 francs and it was made in America expressly for President Carnot. Col. Cody is at Nice; on dit that he is much annoyed at the president’s refusal of bis hand- some gift, THE WORLD IS NOT YET ENDED. Shermanites Gather to Witness an Event Which Did Not Happen. Considerable excitement has prevailed re- cently among the Shermanites, a peculiar re- ligious sect who live in the mountains of St. Clair county, twenty miles from Birmingham, Ala,, and yesterday anxiety reached the highest pitch. Several{weeks ago their preacher or prophet foretold that the world would come to an end at noon yesterday and the excitement increased as the day wore on. All Saturday night was spent in prayer and devotional exer- cises, and at daybreak the entire sect assembled in the woods to await the judgment hour, As noon approached the excitement became in- tense, and numbers of women fainted and went into hysterics, Atlast thesun reached the meridian, but the heavens were not gathered together as a scroll, the earth did not give up its dead and all things terrestrial did not pass away, as the preacher had prophesied. A special received at Pivsiapharm at night said the congregation had dispersed and their faith inthe preacher bas departed forever. The parson, however, remained in the woods and said he would pray till midnight. Knapp Versus Barnes’ Estate. “The suit of my client against the estate of Demas Barnes for $250,000 has not been settled as far as I know,” said the lawyer of Miss Cora Belle Knapp in New York yesterday. Miss Knapp alleges that she was betrayed into s bigamous marriage with Barnes some time before his death, and lived with him at a luxu- riously appointed house in the city, believing that she was his wife. She discovered the true state of affairs before his death, and, she says, he had agreed to settle with ber by paying 250,000, when he met with a fatal accident. Since the suit was begun Miss Knapp's child has died. The case will be 9; in the supreme court, Brooklyn, on h 4, her lawyer says. Franees E. Willard, president of the World’s and National W.C.T.U., yesterday addressed the people of Bristol, Pa., and vicinity at the First Baptist church, numbering a thouzand people, who came from miles sround to hear the speaker.
