Un motion of Judge Wylie today the Court in General Term admitted George M. of Marylaud.to the bar of the District, BURGLARY BY ELECTRIC LIGHT. A Daring Enterprise and a Prompt Capture by the Police. This morning between 1 and 2 o'clock a dar- ing burglary was committed on F street north- west near the corner of 14th street at the fruit store of Rose Gatti: Through the quick work of Sergeant Robert Montgomery and Police man Heller the burglars were arrested and what plunder they had noteaten was recovered and held as evidence, ‘The two officers mentioned were on duty on Pennsylvania avenue about 1:30 o'clock, when they were told two young negroes were loiter- ing about the corner of 14th and F streets, act- ing in spicious manner, ‘The officers procured a cab and drove to the corner of 15th and F streets, where Policeman Heller got out and waited until the sergeant was driven around the square to the 14th street corner. The two young negroes fled at the ap- proach of the officer and escaped. TWO MEN IXSIDE, The sergeant discoucred that a large pane of glass had been broken out of the fruit store window. He was certain that there was a bur- glar or two inside,but as they did not respond to his call to them he climbed through the ovening and got into the store. Once inside he saw one of the burglars wnom he captured and took outside to turn over to Officer Heller,who had arrived and was on guard to seo that no one escaped. “There's another fellow in there,” whispered the one who was captured. Upon that the sergeant returned and found the other one secreted beneath the counter. The store was thoroughly searched, but no more burglars were to be found. ‘The pair of burglars were taken to the sta- tion house, where they gave their names as Frank Taylor and John Green, THEIR CONFEDERATES CAPTURED. Like most other amateur criminals, they told who their two confederates were, and this morning soon after daybreak the officer arrested them also, They were Lewis Wells and James Grifin. They ali agreed upon the same story, that they had attended a dance at the Grand Army Hall, and on their way home they stopped at Gatti’s store to got something to eat and what- ever else they could without money and with- out the knowledge of the owner. % Wells and Griffin watched outside, while Taylor and Green went in. The latter walked all over the choice fruit, helped themselves to peaches, cakes and pies and filled their pockets with chestnuts and cigarettes. They also took some postal cards, ‘There is an electric light on the corner, not many feet from the store, making the vicinity of the pince as bright as day. This morning the four prisoners were pho- tographed for the rogues gallery and later they were taken before Judge Miller. ‘They plead guilty to a charge of houscbreak- ing and Judge Miller held them in @1,000 bail to await the action of the grand jury. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. TO LOCATE A COLORED scHoor. ‘The Commissioners yesterday afternoon gave a hearing to the trustees of the public schools of the city. The hearing was for the purpose of deciding upon asite for the new colored school building in the northwest. Trustee Grimke and Superintendent Cook favored a site north of P street and west of 14th street, while Trustee John T. Mitchell thought that inasmuch as Georgetown had but one colored school and that was overcrowded it should have the new school building. The Commissioners took the matter under advisement. GOING AFTER THE COLONEL'S SIGNATURE. There are several important documents in the hands of the civil Commissioners requiring the signature of Col. Robert, and to obtain this the Commissioners this afternoon directed Secretary Tindall to visit Col. Robert at his home in Rockvillo and have the papers at- tested.

Lawson by the democrats in the Norfolk (second) congress- sional district completes democratic nomina- tions in every district, This district is largely republican, but went democratic at the recent gubernatorial election. The republicans have thus far put up candidates in three districts, first, second and ninth, but Langston will un- doubtedly be # candidate in the fourth. Hume (independent democrat) in the eighth will bo supported by the republicans, Wise in the third, Posey in the fifth, Tucker, sixth, O’Fer- rall, seventh, and Edmunds in the tenth are without opponents, and in each case it is a renomination, Buchanan's opposition in the ninth is said to be merely nominal, as his opponent is a new- comer and has never voted in the state, sev- -sident republicans of the rict ving declined a nomination. Mahone will epee do his utmost to defeat Langston in the fourth, and there being two republican candidates m both the first and second the re- suit is in doubt. Capt. Geo. 1, Phillips’ Funeral.

The Heroic Act of Two American Sailors | A Very Small Spot With a Crowded Population. Fitly Recognized. On the 28d of January, 1583, one of the ge- verest storms ever known passed over the Gulf of Mexico, The steamship Louisiana of the Cromwell line, plying between New Orleans and New York, was on her regular trip, when @ bark was noticed struggling in the tempess Signals of distress were observed, and as the steamer came nearer it was seen that the little vessel was wholly at the mercy of the waves and the crew were clinging to the rigging. Certain death awaited them. To attempt to go to the bark was apparently useless, as it did not seem possible that ary small boat could live for a moment in the ter- tific sea, Nevertheless the captain of the Lovisiana called for volunteers and Capt. Botts, the second officer of the Louisiana, and Joseph Kowski volunteered, and with a crew to man the boat they launched forth to the rescue of the crew of the doomed bark) It proved to be the Pauline Sebbira of Sweden, jis rescue was not merely dangerous; it was sccomplished in the face of almost certain death. Few, in- deed, that remained on the steamer believed that those who sallied forth upon that dreadful sea would ever return., In the midst of the utmost peril, however, the crew of the Sebbira were rescued and brought in safety to the Louisiana, The attention of the State Department was called to this brave act by Dr. Colegrove of this city some throe years since, and after con- siderable delay and correspondence Dr. Cole- grove has received from the Secretary of State the following: ‘‘Adverting to your letter of the 1st November, 1889, in regard to rescue of the captain and crew of the bark Pauline Sebbira by Capt. Betts of the steamer Louisiana, January 23, 1883, I have now the pleasure of informing you that a note has been received from the minister of Sweden and Nor- way. of the 24th instant, transmitting two sal- yage medals which his majesty, the king, has leased to confer upon Messrs. John Betts and Nona Kowski in recognition of their bravery.” Dr. Colegrove has the medals, which are e: tremely handsome in design, and will deliver them to the heroes for whom they are intended, The brave men have expressed tho greatest satisfaction at the gracious act of his majesty, the King of Sweden and Norway, in thus recognizing their efforts to save the lives of the imperiled crew. Capt. Betts has been pro- moted by the Cromwell Company and 1s now in command of the steamship New Orleans, THE CITY’S GAS SUPPLY. The Inspector’s Annual Report—A Year of Good Light. Mr. 8. Calvert Ford, the inspector of gas and meters for the District has submitted his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior. It gives the following statement of the condi- tion of the gas supplied during the past year: Washington Gas Company averago illuminat- ing power, 18 candles; highest, 21.01; lowest, 16.02; average quantity of ammonia in 100 oubic foet of gas, 1.97 grains; highest quan- tity of. ammonia, 496; lowest, average amount of sulphur, 11.77 grains; bigh- est amount, 17.33; lowest. 4.12. Georgetown Gas Company average illuminating power, 17.03 candles; highest, 19.94; lowest, 13.28; average amoent of ammonia in 1! cubic feet of gas, 2.09 grains; highest quantity, 7.52; lowest, .45; average amount of sulphur, 13,33 grains; highest 24.63; lowest, 6.62. Onsix occasions the gas supplied by the Washington Gaslight Company contained more sulphur than the 24 graine allowed. The average pressure of gas supplied by this com- pany as récorded in the inspector's office was 1.20 inches, ‘The highest pressure was 2.10 inches and the lowest pressure .78 inches, On ten occasions the illuminating power of the gas supplicd by the Georgetown Gas Com- pany was less than sixteen candles, On four oceasions the quantity of ammonia found exceeded the five grains allowed. On four occasions the quantity of sulphur found ex- ceeded the 24 grains allowed, The average pressure of gas supplied by this company wai 1.54 inches, the highest pressure 4.77 inches and the lowest pressure .86 inches. INSPECTING METERS. The inspector states that during tho year 1,283 meters were inspected and proved. With the exception of seven meters this number was inspected for the gas companies and gas cousumers. The result of this inspection was as follows: 76 registered fast, average 4.01 per cent; 43 registered slow, average 6.43 per cent; 1,163 registered within the limit al- lowed—namely, 2 por cout either way—and one did not register the gus flowing through. BETTER THAN KVER BEFORE, The report adds that the gas supplied by the Washington Gas Company during the year was of higher illuminating power than during any previous year since inspection has been in operation. the average illuminating power hay- ing equaled 18 standard candies. The gas supplied by the Georgetown Gas Company, the report states, was more uniform in illuminating power and purity than during the year ending June 30, 1849, The consump- tion of gas in Georgetown is steadily increas- and the inspector is of the opinion that it soon be necessary for the company to lay larger mains on the principal thoroughfares, He renews the recommendation for the es- tablishment of a Jaboratory near the new gas works in Southeast Washington. He also re- news the recommendation in regard to the ap- pointment of an assistant inspector. Reel TEN YEARS’ PROGRESS. How Commissioner Douglass Reviewed It in a Welcome Address. District Commissioner Douglass in his ad- dress of welcome to the Young Men’s Catholic Union of America yesterday said: I; under- stand that it is just about ten years since your last visit here as an association. In that decade Washington has made splendid strides in every department of her municipal and business life. During the decade ended June 30 last wo built 17,733 new buildings at an estimated cost of €43,133,843. Estimating the building lots at 20x100 feet these 17,733 new buildings cover 95,466,000 square feet ot land, or nearly 14 square miles, and it has been estimated that in ton years all the available vacant building lote in the city will be covered unless the propor- tion of county dwellings is largely increased, ‘There bas been an average yearly increase of 20 per cent in the number of buildings erected during the past ton years and an average an- nual increase of 33.4 ‘eed cent in the amount of money expended in these improvements, The average cost of buildings erected in the last fiscal year was a fraction over 40 per cent more than in 1881; or, in other words, 40 per cent better. During the past ten years there have been laid 25,280,000 square yards of pavement. ‘This is a fine showing on the basis of material wealth, In the region of adornment, though alittle dimmed by the cold nights of the last month, there is enough left yet of the beauty of trees and shrub and sod to show that vour capital is a thing of beauty, and we all believe and pray that it is also to be a “joy forever.” Whenever you find learning in a Christian household or church, you find, as a@ rule, sturdier patriotiom, truer piety ‘and correct morals, lieving thatsuch is the purpose and such the characteristics of your organization, we again welcome you to our city and houses, -_ Goings-On Abroad.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE POETIC OASIS AND THE REAL THING—HOW DWELLERS UPON AX OASIS LIVE—THEIR TEMPLES—OULTIVATION OF THE DATE PALM. Dr. Jacquot describes the first oasis he saw in Sahara as “alittle green corner, fresh and shady, cheered by the song of birds and en- livened by the murmur of waters,” says @ writer in the Boston Commonwealth, ‘The dates waved their elegant plumes high in the air; the pomegranate and fig trees crowded between the columns of the palms; the wheat and barley clothed the soil in every direction, and the humid vapors vivified the foliage. One could net help trembling for the little spot, it seemed such a feeble thing in the immensity of the desert, surrounded by the desolate plains and menaced by moving sand hills.” Dr. Jacquot's description, says the writer, is slightly erroneous; it may do well for poets, but as a true description it ie wrong. An oasis is not an immense wild garden, where numerous species of fruits and egies crowd each other in wild confusion, but it niggardly nature caltivated almost to the extreme by human industry, which refuses space to every fruit or flower which does not sid to sustain life. An oasis ‘s usually ubout a mile anda quarter in lengt} und about five-eighths of a mile in breadth, In nearly every case it occupies the bottom of some ravine, which shelters it in every direction It 1s inclosed in a mud or stone wall about sight feet ir height and about @ foot in thickness, intervals about this wall are found these are sentry boxes, on the flat rvofs of which are stationed nightly guards to prctect the place from pillage. The gardens of the oasis lie against this outer wall, and are divided into amal. inclosures, h of whick is the property of one person. Next to the gar- dens, toward toe center, are fields of corn, barley and onions, divided into parts as in the gatdous, which are watered and tended like our favorite flower beds; in the center isa little rivulet, which runs from springs near one of the extreme onds ‘The inhabitants of ‘his oasis do not live cach family in a separate dwelling, but in one large house called 2 kaar, which is usually built of stone, giving it the appearance of a solid mass, perforated here and there with a small window and diversified with jutting angles. The halle are narrow, dark, ill-smelling, uneven passages winding about the bnilding. The (esas are low-ceiled, filthy places, lighted by a singlo aperture in the wall. Tho whole place reminds one more of a dog kennel than a human habitation. Insome of the keat about three hundred or four hundred me: women and children, a sickly, scrofulous gen- eration, are huddied together in a building which would seem to a European hardly able to contain more than a hundred. ‘The only interesting thing about the whole oasis is the marabet or scpulchral chapel, which stands outside the walls, It is generally square, surmounted by a cupola, the whole being built of stone or brick, executed by arti- sans brought from Morocco for that express purpose, Occasionally the principal cupola is flanked by four smaller ones, the interior pre- senting a court, surrounded by a gallery, sup- ported on Moorish arcades In most cases the ostrich egg crowns the summit of tho cupola, but occasionally a stone or metal ball may be found occupying the exalted position. The inhabitants of the oasis choose to reserve all the luxury and magnificence of their architecture to adorn the little temple around which they excavate their resting places, hey are not, like the habitations of the liv- ing subject to the ravages of foca, but are uni- versaily held sacred, and the conqueror, cov- ered with blood, sopronches here with revor- ence and prostrates himee!f in u lowly worship. Life is so uncertain when the armsof the enemy combine with the elements of nature to threaten its existence that it is no wonder the inhabitant of the oasis cares to lavish ali his wealth not on the dwelling which will prob- ably shelter him but a day, but on the place which will shelter him forever from the storms of life. In the gardens near the outer wall of the oasis is grown tho date palm, which is the principal food all over the Sahara. The trunk of the palm is usually about fifty or sixty fect in height and is crowned by a tutt of radiating leaves. The calyx has six divisions and the fruit is a drupe, somewhat larger than the acorn, It isared color when ripe and is in- closed in a hard kernel, from which it is easily separated. It is pulpy, firm, esculent aud eweet, with a slight astringency, The tree is raised from shoots, which arrive at maturity in about thirty years, aud con- tinues bearing for about seventy more, pro- ducing yearly about fifteen or twenty clusters, which weigh usually about cigiteen poun each. When one wishes to create a date garden he the neighboring date gardeners to ce, and thus he accomplishes his work with economy and dispatch, for their services cost him nothing except the obligation to return the same wher demanded. ‘he sand is first removed to the depth of several fect, in order that the roots may reach the water; besides a trench is dug around the tree ata regular distance, and into this, when necessary, water is poured, in order that, sinking through the soil, it may effectually reach the fibers which require it. ‘This irrigation is chietly committed to the women and children by those who have no slaves, and the precious fluid is carried in skins of animals or baskets of balpo flouted so closely as to be water proof. In most enses canals are cut in every direction, communicating with the springs which supply the oases, and when restriction is necessary each gardener pays so much per hour for the use of the water in his garden. In some cases each proprietor has a right to the springs for an hour or two, according to the title deeds of his estate. The time is measured by a rude chronometer held by the officer who opens or shuts the conduit. In the above imperfect account I have en- deavored to give my readers a description of the oasis as it is and not as the poets or roman- cers would have us believe. pesmi io’ intl PLAYED WITH LETTERS, Simple Enough for Children and Dif- ficult Enough for Gray Beards. From the New York Tribune. A new game, which affords a good deal of amusemen: to many people and also imparts considerabls instruction to the young in the formation of words, is played in the following manner with the letters of the alphabet: Half a dozen sets of all the letters of the alpha- bet are provided, each letter on a small piece of pasteboard or wood, One player then gathers all the letters before him on the table and the other players sit around tho table, ag at cards. The player who has all the lette: then turns them face downward and proceeds to deal them out one by one to the others, be- ginning with the player sitting at his right hand and continuing around the tablo in order. As he deals a letter out he turns its face up, so that all may sce that it is for instance. ‘The next:player goes on “o,” suppose, and he quickly sees that bis letter, joined to the “‘n” received by the first player, will form the word “no.” He announces that fuct and claims the “n.” This is surrendered to him and he forms the word ‘‘no” on the table in front of him and must leave it there undisturbed until some other player gets a letter, which, added to the word ‘no,” will form some other word. Suppose, for instance, that the third lotter dealt out is a ‘“w.” Then the owner of the “w" may claim the word “‘no” and adding his “w" to it make it The ilb} hold on to his word, for a little while anyway, for the “now” and the “‘y” don’t seem to make anything.
