His Experiences in That Region Have Not Prepossessed Him in its Favor. “WhatI chiefly object to about the west,” said Noodies at the Platypus Club last night, “is that it isso dreadfully crude, Out there no perception seems to be entertained of the duivrences among the people. I remember very well that the morning after my arrival in St. Louis I was pursued by a crowd of rowdy boys with a fusillade of underdone potatoes— simply,as wellas Icould make out, for the reason that they did not approve of my dress, When Iamin Washington what I wear does not excite remark, but in that region the mere factof being attired ina manner that is not distinctly out of fashion elicits—such was my raw tomatoes and even When I reached Denver it was stil! winter and snow was on the ground. A small boy threw 4 snowballat me. It was a question with me whether or no I should return the compli- ment, for Lam naturally shy. However, I have striven earnestly to overcome this weakness, and, for the sake of being affable, I responded by gently chucking a not over round lump at my impromptu adversary. You may, perhaps, imagine my surprise when this ill-bred youth a moment later struck me quite unawares and with great force full in the back of my new summer overcoat with a very much decayed apple. The fruit distributed itself unpleas- antly over my garments and I was presently compelled to retire trom public view in order to be wiped off by a casual and very dirty boot- biack. My faith in the generosity of human uatnre was considerably impaired by this un- fortunate occurrence. “I do not mind so much having stones thrown at me in Chicago as I did an occurrence one day while I was passing the board of trade, when a dense crowd of three hundred ‘settling clerks,’ waiting to enter the building for the squaring of their firms’ accounts, with one ac- cord took up a shout as I passed of ‘Look at the dude! The yell in chorus that they gave con- tinued for full two minutes, being audible for many blocks around, and 1 was scarcely con- soled afterward for my temporary embarrass- meut when I learned that this was a regular and habitual ‘gag’ on *'change’ in Chicago, “Ido think, however, that the atmosphere of some western cities discouraged me the most. As the train approached St, Louis I looked out of the car window and saw a dense cloud overhanging the town.” “Dear boy,’ I said to the conductor, ‘what do these people breathe?’ “Soot and coal gas, my blooming,’ was his rep!. Nothing else?’ I asked, “Oh, yos,’ he answered. ‘Smoke.’ “I understocd him afterward, when I saw the snow fall—not white, but alight mud color. That conductor, by the way, was a very ex- traordinury person, and he made some remarks that I did not at all comprehend. He told me to hold on tight to my vulise, lest I should blow out through the car window.

For the most part the ar- rangements are much the same as they were nine years ago. The census day is fixed for Sunday, the Sth of April, The particulars to be asked for in England and Wales are the name, sex, age, profession or occupation, con- dition as to marriage, relation to head of fam- ily, an@d birthplace of every person who abode any house on the night of the census day, showing also whether any such person was blind or deaf or dumb or imbecile or lunatic, ‘The only new —— to be put is one recom- mended by the census committee—namely, where the occupier is in occupation of lees than five rooms, as to the number of rooms occupied by him. One particular that was asked for at the last census and is now omitted, in accord- ance with the committee's recommendation, is the “rank” of each person. In Scotland the matters to be inquired into are the same as those in England, except that the new one does not soles to the number of acer —_ but is whether son speaks Gaelic only or both Gaclic and Snglish,” Neither in Jand nor in Scotland nor in Wales, it will be o! served, is any question to be put as to religion, In Ireland, however, the “religious profession’ ot each person is, as before, to be asked for. The other information to be obtained in Ire- land includes the sex, age, birthplace and occu- tion.

THE EVENING STARS WASHINGTON, D.C; FRIDAY, AUGUST 8; 1890: LAWS FOR THE DISTRICT. The House Committee Agrees to the Fourteenth Street Railroad Bill. 4 MOUNT PLEASANT COMMITTEE BEARD AND TEE MATTER QUICKLY SETTLED—TRE RAILROAD Com- PANY GIVEN SIXTY DAYS TO MAKE TRE CHANGE— OTHER MEASURKS CONSIDERED. In spite of the weather and the few members ef the House in the city the House District committee today held # session and ground out considerable business, reporting favorably two bills, one of which will carry joy to the hearts of a portion, at least, of the city's inhabitants, This is the bill providing for better service on the 14th street extension of the Washington and Georgetown’s line to Mount Pleasant, A MOUNT PLEASANT DELEGATION, Before the regular meeting of the committee ashort hearing wasgiven tothe Mount Pleasant committee. The grievances of the citizens of this thriving little suburb were brought out fully by the speakers, short addresses being made by Mr. Arms and Dr. Jameson, The question was presented in practically the same aspect as has already been printed in Tax Star. Gen. Swaim and Mr. J. L. Atkins also presented the views of the Mount Pleasant people. After the delegation had finished their statement of grievances the committee Went into executive session, PROVISIONS OF THE BILT. During the session a report from the Com- missioners was received on the 14th street bill. ‘The bill, it will be remembered, provides that on and after the expiration of thirty days the Washington and Georgetown Railway Company shall run all of its cars on lth street west from the point on 14th street where they now stop, on and inacoutinuous trip to the end of the line, which is laid through what is known as 14th street extended. Failure to comply is to be punished by a fino of $500 for each day of failure or neglect. It is also provided that no additional fare shall be charged for this service, THE COMMISSIONERS’ REPORT. The report from the Commissioners says: “The Commissioners approve of the gencral object of H.R. bill 11407, which was referred for their views, “They recommend the enactment of the bill amended by inserting ‘ninety’ instead of ‘thirty’ days, so as to give the company ninety instead of thirty days in which to make the change. Also by inserting the word ‘other’ after ‘other,’ so that every alter- nate car shall run on 14th street extended, and that the words ‘all and’ be stricken out, as they are superfluous,” QUICKLY SETTLED. It did not take the committee long to settle the fate of the bill aud it was almost immediately decided to report it favor- ably. The committee decided to cut the difference between the Commissioners and the bill by giving the company sixty days in which to make the change and also to provide that every alternate car should make the full trip. Ricecsboay seems to be in dead earnest about this measure and in a hurry, too. Dr, Atkin- son's report on the bill was drawn up immedi- ately and the bill wili be reported today. THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The report says: “The committee have considered the matter to which this bill relates and find as follows: That the railroad accommodations afforded by the present service are inadequate for the population of the District which the railroad reaches; that the railroad company illegally charges an additional fare on its road over 14th street extended he committee further report that the Com- missioners of the District have considered this bill and have presented # favorable report, which is hereunto annexed, The committee, therefore, favorobly report the bill, and re- commend that it do pass when amended as follows.” Then follows the amendment as stated above. AN INSURANCE COMPANY'S CHARTER. The committee also favorably reported the Dill to continue in existence the National Metro- politan Fire Insurance Company of the Dis- trict of Columbia, ‘the continuation is for twenty years from the 25th day of August, 1890, at which time the pare charter expires. the company having een chartered under the general incorporation laws of the District, which make no provision for extension of charters, THE SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. Thore was but a bricf session of the Senate District committee today. The Senators pres- ent wore Messrs. Ingulls, Higgins, Harris, Vance, Faulkner and Barbour. All tie ' business done was to __ give Attorney Sands of this city opportunity to plain the route which the Washington and Western Railroad Company would like Cou- ress to give it from its Virginia terminus just across the Potomac. But little consideration was given the bill and no conclusion was ar- rived at by the committee. The measure is in the hands of Senator Vance asa subcommittee, CHARLES CHEW’S FATAL LEAP. He Takes His Life by Jumping From a Third-Story Window. A young colored man named Charles Chew, who resided on East Capitol street near Lin- coln Park, committed suicide about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon by jumping from the third story of No, 1108 F street northwest. Chew had been drinking before he entered the building and his strange conduct attracted the attention of a gentleman, who told the janitor to drive the man out of the building. The janitor went upstairs to do as ordered. Chew insisted that he had done nothing wrong and wanted to remain, but the janitor told him that he would have to leave the buiid- ing. Chew then said that some of his best friends had gone back on him and he had become desperate. Before the janitor could reach him he jumped headlong on the pave- ment below. Three ribs were broken by the fall and he received fatal internal injuries, He was picked up and removed to the Emer- ney Hospital, where Drs. Ellyson and Mid- jeton rendered temporary relief. ‘The physicians saw that he could not asibly recover and they ordered is removal to Freedman's Hospital, where he could receive more attention and get better accommodations. The injured man died before 9 o'clock. ce ata Every man and woman residing in South Wash- ington should sign at once the petition printed in today's STAR against confirming the grade- crossing outrage, Don't think that one more name is of no consequence, ——_-_ Transfers of Real Estate.

The monthly comparative statement for May, 1890, of the number of paupers of all classes in England and Wales, except lunatic paupers and vagrants, has just been issued as « parliament- ary paper. The figures given show a steady decrease in the number of persons relieved during each week in May, The number of persons relieved on the last of the first week in May was 681,642, or 3,445 less than on the last day of the fifth week of April. On the last day of the second week in y, the num- ber was 678,696, or a decrease as compared with the week of 2,946.

A former block was destroyed during a rebellion in 1783, and frag- mente of it were distributed as trophies among the boys concerned. Its successor was cleverly carried away by the late Lord Waterford and two other old Etonians in 1836 and it is now preserved at Curraghmore as a historical relic. Flogging was for many gener- ations the normal punishment for almost all Offenses, great or small, for serious breaches of discipline and for mistakes in Latin construing. Many amusing stories—some of them true, more of them apocryphal—are told of Dr. Keate and the vigorous manner in which he wielded the birch, and it is remembereti that he suppressed an attempted rebellion by suc- cessively flogging more than eighty boys in the middle of a summer night m 1832. Since his time there has been « lual decrease in the number of floggings administered by sub- sequent head masters, and Dr. Warre seldom resorts to this form of punishment soe Riot on the French Turf. Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph. This afternoon a riot without parallel in the brief history of the French turf occurred dur- ing the steeplechase races at Colombes, a pretty suburb five or six miles outside the fortifications. Fine weather and the prospect of good sport deduced from numerous entries drewa large number of spectators to the course, many of them of the roughest betting and souteneur class, These anticipations were doomed to disappointment. Most of the horses backed by the public did not even ptt in an appearance. In the second race, for which there were fourteen entries, only one— Colomba—went to the starting post. The spectators groaned and hooted as the horse “walked over.” When next the bell rang they s00n saw that another “walk over” was about to take place, the horse this time being Clara Soleil Not content with burlin invectives at the jockey the crow swarmed over the barriers on the ground, stopped the ‘walk over” and vociferousiy demanded back the money thes had put on the non-startera, It is neeilless to say that their request was not complied with, The rioters then became furious, and while some of them broke down the barriers along the course others brought large quantities of hay from a neighboring field, placed it on the hedges and hurdles and then set it on fire. For an hour anda half a scene of indescribable confusion reigned. The half dozen policemen available were powerless. A squadron of gen- darmes were sent for, but even they were inef- fectual to quell the riot. Asa last resort the committee rang the bell and sent out two horses to the post for another race, but the crowd refused to give way and the jockeys were compelled to take the animals back to the paddock to save them from violence. he au- thorities seeing this determined to abandon the remainder of the events altogether, and the multitude dispersed gradually, prociaming loudly that they had been swindled. The turt in France is evidently in a bad way. — loons & To Help Small Shop Keepers. From the Pall Mall Gazette. To meet the complaints of the small shop keepers against the large drapery and fancy shops in Paris, which sell almost everything, in one case even sugar, a surtax was imposed last year, based on the number of persons em- ployed on the premises, Till then they bad been taxed merely asif they carried on only one line of business, Under an arrangement adopted on Saturday the Bon Marche. with 1,660 asmstants, will pay 196,000f.: the Louvre, with 1,570 persons, will pay 209.000, and the Printemps, with 415 persons, 68,090f. | The Bon Marche and Printemps, being limited lability companies, also pay 3 per cent on their divi- dends, namely, 150,000f, and 60,000f., but the Louvre, not being yet a company, escapes this tax. The French chamber agreed to exempt from direct taxes persons having seven or more children, such exemption being limited to the category of small taxpayers. see Restored by the Pope’s Order. Paris Dispatch to the London Standard. A young lady belonging to an aristocratic Italian family disappeared from her home at Tivoli about a year ago, The search which was made by her parents and by the police to dis- cover her hiding place was unsuccessful. Nevertheless, it was suspected that she had entered some convent, The pope was applied to, and, incompliance with the request of the young lady's mother, be sent a circular letter to all the convents ordering the superior of the institution in which the runaway might be to immediately inform him of the fact. A few weeks Inter it was ascertained in this way that the young lady was in a convent at Marseilles, In conformity with the pope's instructions the young lady has been restored to her mother. — see Stamps That Will Not Stick. From the Philadelphia Ledger. Correspondents complain that the two-cent red stamp will not stick on their letters long enough to have them delivered through the mail. Letters are received duly post-marked, showing that the stamp had been affixed, but quite devoid of any pay stamp on reach- ing their destination, Other stamps are heard from that come off in the band while they are being posted. The letter goes off in the box, the stamp flutters off in the hand. “You can wrap up,” says one cor- respondent, “a ten-cent special stamp in a bit of parattine paper and it will keep its sticki- ness, for the mucilage is good. But if you wrap up your two-cent red stamp in a similar paper. to keep them from all sticking together, the result is bad; stickiness goes out of them. and the chances are that they will fall off your letter betore it reaches Mr. Field’s stamping machines, Yet the parafiine puper is supposed to act, by its oiliness, precisely as the less ele- gant plan of rubbing the stamps as you buy them onthe hair of your head. Is there any remedy for stickless stamps? Certainly there is. The mucilage bottle, if you have a doubts. Youhad better resurface them—in this individual way—than to have the trouble of tearing them apart when all glued together, and perhaps before the hot weather is over some plan may be discovered of keeping their gummed surfaces well on while protecting them from uniting with each other. — coe The Cow Visits the Family, An Omaha dispatch to the Philadelphia Times says: The family of Mrs. Mary Hartwright,who resides on Plover street, were much surprised a few evenings ago by the appearance in their parlor of an unexpected guest, This was their urham cow Moilie, that, escaping from ber en, deliberately walked up the iow steps lead- ing to the porch, thence into the hall, through which she marched until she reached the parlor door, Tis she entered with an inquiring moo and advanced into the room, while the family sat watching her, afraid to move lest they star- tle and cause her to do some damage, But after @ quict inspection of the apartment the incon- gruity of her presence there seemed to strike her and, turning about, she as quietly walked out again. *oo-——___ The New Smokeless Powder, The London correspondent of the Manches- ter Courr writes that there was a fear that the experiments which are being made in con- nection with the new smokeless powder would be ee at their most interesting stage by the compulsory retirement of Col.
