The present summer season has been en ex- ceptional one in this District, in that for more than three months there has not been a single prisoner committed to jail on a charge of mur- der, Usually the hotter the weather the hotter the blood, and hotnicides frequently occur in the summer months, and the number of intents to kill and assaults ‘increases as the mercury rises. There have been this season fewer of this class of cases and today the number of prisoners in jail charged with offenses of all descrip- tions is less than usual, the roll of jail inmates yesterday footing up less than 190, of whom 28 are women, ao Will Be Sent to the Insane Hospital. Amelia Gerhold, the young woman who was before the Rolice Court yesterday as an alleged lunatic (as mentioned in Tus Sran last even- ing), spent last night in the first precinct station in charge of one of the matrons and this morning she was taken back to the Pclice Court. Dr. Strickler, one of the police surgeons, wescalled in to examine her and after doing so questioned her in the presence of the court. The unfortunate woman seemed rather amused at the proceedings, not at all realizing the seriousness of her position. re you married?” the doctor asked her. ‘ertainly I am,” was the woman's response, Where is he now?” “Up on Ith street. “when did you see him last?” “Last nicht,” and then she laughed. Dr. Strickler was of the ooo that the woman was insane and so was Dr. Pool, who ex- amined her afterward. The case was there- upon certified to the Secretary of the Interior and she will be sent to the Government Insane Hospital, a Under False Colors. “Is that Maggie Sullivan’ asked Deputy Clerk Harper of Bailiff Kendig in the Police Court this morning. ‘at's her name today,” responded the bailiff. “She has a different name every timeshe comes.” Every one about the court recognized her as Annie Foley.

This morning shortly after midnight thero was a man in the neighborhood of 4th andG streets northwest looking for @ policeman. A coat covered the seeker’s undershirt, and his trousers and untied shoes completed his toilet, Policemen Kimmel and Parker were the first blue-coated guardians to appear, and with an air of mystery the half-clothed man whispered, “Follow me,” adding a remark about burglars ashe led them to a house near 5th and H streets, Atone of the rear windows of this house was a citizen attired in white. He held a revolver in his hand, and was, as he supposed, covering a burglar with the weapon. A move and the burglar would have been killed had he been there, but he wasn’t, and the policemen did not have a chance to make the arrest, —o—_ Died of His Injuries.

The much-talked-of colored convention of the eighth Virginia congressional distriet met yesterday at Purcellville. in Loudoun county. The avowed purpose of the convention was to consider the educational, political and finan- cial status of the colored people. The body, however, got into something of a tangle over the tocal political situation, The eighth dis- ANACOSTIA. A Corp Waren Ratty.—Probably the largest meeting ever held in Anacostia was that in the temperance tent last ht under the auspices of the District Rechabites. A large number was present from the several tents of the city’and a grand parade was made through the streets with music and fireworks. As they reached the tent the drum corps played “Annio Rooney” and other national airs to the delight of all present. Grand Chiet Ruler Lee, r. Steol and other speakers edified the audi- ence, making the exercises a genuine cold water war dance from start to finish. The trict is tho one represented in the present | order of Rechabites was eulogized by tho Congress by Gen.

Yesterday's convention consisted of dele- bership will result from the rally. The vocal music was led by J. W. Bartley, cornetist, and every feature of the exercises was entertaining.

O. Prather had since been made. He spoke of the eminent men which his race had produced and eulogized Hon. John M. Langston as second to none. Anew and brighter educational age had commenced for the colored man, said Mr. Har- rison, who predicted that the advance of the race in the near future would be marvelous. In speaking of the political situation Mr. Harrison said that only one bill in many years had been passed with a tendency to benefit the nogro. This was the civil rights: bill, which, for a short space of timo, had a telling effect. The bill had been made null and void by the Supreme Court, however, just as the race was climbing to the level of humanity. “No measure since,” continued the speaker, “has caused moro interest among our people than does the federal election bill, which wo regard as the second emancipation of the negro.” IT CAUSED CONFUSION. The convention was quiet and attentive during the reading of the address, but the ex- citement came when the committee on resolu- tions reported a resolution indorsing Frank Hume for Congress. Immediately the wildest confusion prevailed. Mr. Harrison left the chair and, taking the floor, vigorously de- nounced the resolution, ‘the colored men should not indorse any one, he thought, but should fight out their grievances in the regular repnblican convention, After a lively debate the delegation from Orange county and part of the Alexandria delegation withdrew from the convention, The remaining delegates then passed the resolution indersing Mr. lume and adjourned. WHAT CHAIRMAN HARRISON SAYS, Mr. Harrison, the chairman of the conven- tion, said to a Stan reporter,today that the col- ored republicans of the eighth district con- sidered that they had been unjustly dealt with in the matter of patronage. simply used as a ladder, by means of which white republicans climbed into office. Every office in Alexandria had been filled with white republicans. The colored people had beea satisfied with this, feeling assured that they would receive some recognition from the post- master, This they had not received and the race were now forced to organize, They wero not independents nor democrats, but colored republicans, adhering to the principles of the party and ‘in no way disloyal. To really uc- cept Hume in place of the present situation would be jumping from the sublime to the ridiculous. The colored republicans of the eighth have ceased to support any party as long as they are discriminated against on account of color.” ee YOUNG AMERICAN CATHOLICS. Sixth Annual Convention of the National Union to Meet Here in October. Rev. Michael J. Lavelle of St. Patrick's Ca- thedral, New York, president of the Catholic Young Men’ tional Union of America, has issued a call for the sixteenth annual conven- tion, to be held in this city October 7 and 8.

New York, August 26. ‘The sessions today of the American instruct- ors of the deaf were principally devoted to methods of instruction, some sharp discussion taking place between the advocates of the oral system aud those devoted to the sign language method. A special department of tho adher- ents of the oral or articulation method was or- ganized and henceforth this will constitute a distinctly recognized branch of these conven- tions of instructors of the deaf. In addition a special association was organized among tho members of the oralist department for the pro- motion of teaching speech to the deaf, Promi- nent among these aro Prof. A.

From the New York World. The newest thing in petticoats is no petti- cont atall. This assertion may tax credulity, but it 19 a fact, a fashionable fact perhaps, but nevertheless a fact. It is hard to believe that woman would ever outlive her love for the fine cambrie skirts with their cluster tucks, open insertions and Swiss embroidered rufiles, but she has, and, more than that, she scorns the lace-edged French skirt and would not give 30 cents for the finest conyent-made flan- nel skirt in stock. At first it seemed pésitively shocking to lay aside that most feminine and really beautiful garment, but the fashionable modiste began the crusade, declared that she couid not fit the dress nicely over the gathered cotton underwear and ordered it off. The tyrant was obeved, but not surprised, for did she not climinate the narrow-skirted, round- shouldered chemise and the lozcnge-shaped corset cover? . It is no betrayal of confidence to say that this onslaught on underwear had its origin on the stage. No society actress or artiste gocn through a part inthe regulation under- wear for the reason that her freedom would be restricted. She could not get around in rufiled dimity, nor deport herself with any sort of grace in starched cambric. ‘The dressmaker who fits 2 stage dress over stays, stockings and tights, very soon learns how superior the result is compared to the gown made over gathers, strings, bands or yokes, One is periectly smooth, the other cannot be kept from wrinkling. It has come to a point now when the modiste will refuse to fit a skirt over a petticoat, and that ends all argu- ment. She does not presume to say that madame shall not wear what she likes, but “I will not try to fit you unless you dress as I dic- tate. When the costume is finished you may do with it what you please.” Skirts hang better and bodices fit nicer the less there is under them, and in warm weather when the dress is made over a lining there is really no necessity for underskirta. With the tatlor-mado suit, silk-lined, there is sufticient warmth for cool weather and a long ulster as a finish will suffice for cold days, ‘This new ar- rangement is an advance in the right direction, Women need tewer clothes for house wear and mora wraps or outer garments for the street. ‘Lhis desire for smoothly fitting skirts and creascless basques means rebellion against the baggy, divided skirts, which will never be adopted by women who follow the styles, What Hotel Detectives Sec. Max Phillips, who looks after the interests of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and its guests in the capacity of a detective, has becn telling a New York Star reporter of some of the unique types he runs acrosa, “You see that old man coming in the door,” he said, as he pointed to a tall, elderly man with a patriarchal beard; “just watch him for a few minutes,” The old gentleman walked slowly through the corridors into the reading room and looked around till he saw a chair in which a guest had left a newspaper. The old mau walked over, picked it up, sat down and commenced read- ing. Afterafew miuutes he slowly folded it up, putit in his pocket furtively and moved away. Thaat old gentleman,” the detective. con- tinued, “seems to have a mania for old news- apers, Ive seen him get away with three or four in an evening, .

From the Tacoma (Wash. Record. “Are you bow-legged? Nearly everybody else in Tacoma is,” Such was the remark of one gentlemen to another as they stood listening to the music on the Tacoma hotel porch last evening. The Person addressed had his lower limbs encased in extra wide trousers, and, therefore, the crockedness or straightness 3f those articles could not be gleaned by a superficial glance. Acting upon this remark of the apparently observing gentleman, who was a visitor on his way to Alaska, a Record reporter started out investigate the subject for himself. While walking up 9th street this morning he kept his cyes open, and what he saw indeed surprised him. Hardly a man or youth trod up the hill from Pacific avenue to Railroad street. who was not afflicted with a bow in cither or both legs. The victims were in all stages of the terrible affliction. and the eye of an observer could easily detect he who had but recently started to curve underneath and also he who had “been thero” for years, Out of fifty men, yonths and boys who strng- gled up that hill just thirty-five were bow- legged, some much so and soine just alittle bit so. In every group of three or more the ma- jority carried with them bent lower limbs. One man almost tread one foot upon the other as he walked, while another, a handsome young fellow with a beautiful blonde moustache, stepped out in a curious way, apparently con- scious of the fact that his limbs were beginning to turn, and evidently seeking to hide the fact from the general public. The cause of so much crookedness in the City of Destiny is a natural one and a surely insurmountable one—the hills. To climb them, and Tacomans cannot do without climbing them in some degree, is a strain on the nether limbs, and gradually they give way and in ases bring humiliation to their owners, ‘There are plenty of handsome young men in ‘Tacoma today who would give wuything to e their legs straightened, and as much can be said of plenty of the young Indies in Tacoma, es sort eaedin Tippling Among English Women. From the Chicago Journal. Great Britain is the only country I have been in where one will frequently see fine-looking women drinking brandy and other spirits in the cars and where the custom is so prevalent among both men and women that at each sta- tion and in the cars one will see a sign request- ing passengers not to throw bottles out of the windows, ‘‘as employes are often injured thero- by.” If thiseustom keeps up it is possible that the railway companies will have to stecl- plate their section hands im order to presorve their lives from these bombs, Popular Entertainers. From the Atlanta Constitution. It isn’t a very artistic or ideal point of view to take of social life, but I honestly believe that more social pleasure and ease is wrought by eating and drinking than by anything else, The people most popular in social life are those who entertain bounteously. A thin sand- wich and one olive, and a little ‘dab” of chicken saiad is an admissable offering to one’s friends, but where tnere is food in abundance everybody calls the affair an aw- fully nice one. Debutantes never eat, but th y regret it and make up for lost time when sev- eral seasons have calmed the excitement of “going out.” Most men eat at an en- tertainment and enjoy good things im- mensely, and it goes without saying that all married folks find infinite satisfaction and bodily comfort in « good supper. People like to go to places where some sort of refreshment is handed during a social visit, and the house that has its dining room door open atany meal for a passing friend is always a popular one. ° A gentleman once said to a very popular girl here! “Please tell me what you do at your house to make all the young men there have such a good time. “They tell me they are always free to drop in for ameal—that you live delightfully—nothing particularly swell, but 80 nicely.” “No,” replied the girl smiling. “We don’t have a great many courses, or put on a great deal of ‘style, but onr friends always seem to enjoy things. Sometimes we go in the pantry and find nothing but cold custards, but they eat them with great relish.” That fits mother is one of the most clegant and delightful house keepers in Atlanta, and they live in absolute luxury. Of course their friends love to go there and feel free. It is like being a child again to get something to eat at a friend's house when one is hungry, and men love to be made gt home. Most young bachelors board, and a hospitable homie is a veritable paradise unto them, It was the old-time southern custom to offer refreshments to visitors and the custom is onc which should ever be retained, Tinev Au Ovrn Is the expression a lady used in describing her con- dition before using Hood's Sarsaparilia, ‘lis prep- aration is wonderfully adapted for weakencd or low state of the system.
