He Tried to Dispose of Mr. Little’s Dia- mond Ring. Jas, Wright, s neatly dressed colored man, appeared before Judge Miller this morning to answer a charge of grand larceny. He had been arrested by Detectives Horne and Mahon for attempting to dispose of a valuable dia- mond ring at Hoffa's jewelry store. The ring ‘was subsequently identified as the property of Mr. Edward H. Little, proprietor of the Casino Club at Mount Pleasant, where Wright had been employed. Mr. Little was also robbed of $170 in cash, The prisoner said he would waive an examination. Judge Miller asked him where his home was and he said that he came here from New Hampshire. In consideration of the fact of his being a non-resident Judge Millor fixed bail at $1,000, in default of which the prisoner was committed to jail. a anes Mr. Cochran Will Build a Hotel. The demand for first-class hotels and several of them has prompted Mr. George W. Coch- | ran to go into the hotel building business, and on October 1, 1891, “The Cochran” will be ready for occupancy. At present the site is somewhat obstructed by three residences, but they are being removed with all rapidity and in a little while the northwest corner of 14th and K streets wili be ready for the architect and builder. The houses demolished will be the residences of Mr. Cochran, Col. Casselis and Senator Gorman. ‘The hotel will be first-class in every respect.” Mr. Cochran to a Stan reporter this morning. “It will be seven stories in height, fronting 72 feet on K street and 125 feet on ifth street. Tho exterior will be of presged brick aud Hummelstown stone, In its interior appeintments it will be all that is desir- able. “Will the clerk wear areal diamond in his shirt front? Can't say. I do not propose to run the hotel, so it would not be proper for me to de- cide on the style of jewelry which shall be prev- alent in the office, ‘The diamond will probably be there, though. No arrangments have as yet been made looking to the management of the establishment and none will be until the atrac- ture is comple! ee A Homeopathic Society Organized. The Washington branch of the Maryland and District Homeopathic Clinical Society was or- ganized Saturday evening by Drs. Thomas, Gary and Drane of Baltimore, a committee ap- pointed for the purpose. The following homeopathic physicians were enrolled as mem- bers of the Washington branch of the society: W. F. Corey, T. L. McDonald, B. F. Gibbs, C, ¥. Roberts, L. G. Baker, L. T. Rautenberg, W. R. King. & 8. Stearns, F. A. Gardner, C. A. Davis, 8.8. Moffat, L. B. Swormstedt, Reginald Munson and James A. Freer. Later the Baltimore committee was enter- tained at supper by the local physicians, pis Hones cadl 2 Under the Chestnut Tree. There is a large chestnut tree on the premi- sesof Mr. Alonzo Eston, over the Eastern branch, and under the tree Saturday afternoon sat three colored boys, Reuben Foster, James Beacham and Willis Banks. Mr. Eaton ob- jected to the boys eating all his chestnuts, and upon his complaint Policeman Anderson ar- rested them. ‘The boys looked as though they had eaten as many nuts as they could and their value was placed at 25 cents. en the case was tried before Judge Miller this morning tbe judge asked how the prosecuting witness knew the amount of chestnuts the boys had eaten, “Gueased at it,” said Policeman Anderson. The judge reckoned the number of chestnuts according to the amount of money charged. The wholesale price is not more than four cents per quartand at the price charged the boys must have eaten two quarts of chestnuts each. If that was true the judge thought that the case would have been one for the coroner and uot for the court. The boys promised to keep from beneath Mr. Eaton's chestnut tree and Judge Milier dismissed the charge of lar- ceny against them. a The Christian Endeavor Union.

Saturday afternoon Linda Beagle, a ten-year- old girl living at 811 20th street, was badly injured by being run over by one of Knox's heavy teams, She was riding on the wagon and, falling, a wheel passed over her and she was very seriously wounded. John Stone, the driver, was arrosted yesterday, but it is said ho was in no wise to blame. There were two chil- dren riding on the wagon and when it reached 22d and G streets it collided with a herdic, when they attempted to jump off and Linda was caught beneath the wheels, as above stated, Sho was carried to Scholl's drug store and attended by Drs.

Judge Miller thereupon fixed the bail at that amount and accepted Mr. Knox as his surety, Julius Chase, colored, fell off a cable car at 7th and M streets last night and was slightly injured about the head.

Saturday they played the Druids in Baltimore, and won by the narrow score of 5 to 4 They did not expect as good a game as their gpponents put up, as it is not often they have té work hard to win. They are on sight-seeing tour as well as giving fine exhibitions of lacrosse, and they are seeing a good deal of the country whilo they are here. Today they spent among the lic buildings, and tomorrow they return to lay the second game with the Druids at Oriole Park. The final game of the tour will be played in Boston next Saturday.

Ahandsome democratic pole was to have been erected at Bladensburg Saturday, but, owing to some misunderstanding, there was only a small crowd on hand. Mr. Barnes Compton was expected to be present, but he was unable todo so. A spirited speech was roade by Col, Manning of this city.

Avexanpnia’s Rerury to tae Disteicr.— As soon as the congressional election is over the attention of the people here will turn toward the proposal for the exteusion of the jurisdiction of Congress over the town and county of Alexandria as still a portion of the District of Columbia. Action on that matter has heretofore been confined to a proposal for making a case in the Supreme Court of the United States to declare the act of 1848, which retroceded Alexandria to Virginia, unconstitu- tional and void. The immediate consequences of such a decision would be so indefinite as to threaten chaos to our local institutions and the Supreme Court would not be likely to advance the cause upon its docket, so as to hear it on an early day. By a vigorous but prudent manage- ment of the matter, so as to provide beforehand for the consequences of the change of status incident to ao decision of the court adverse to the act, the way would be smoothed and much anxicty avoided. Letthe Vides for a suit in the Supreme Court by the United States against Virginia for a return of Alexandria provide the method Dy which the Jurisdiction shall. in fact, be — re-extended, authorize the Supreme Court of the District to establish torms at Aicxandria, and the District Commissioners to replace Alexandria's old- fashioned method of municipal government by the improved method now adopted on the Maryland side of the Potomac, in the District, and the way of return to the District would be much pli r than it is now.

Instead of charging 50 cents for the care of a hat some dancing schools are now charging 25 or 50 cents for ‘‘one dancing lesson.” Judge Miller thinks that this is a device for evading the license law by giving # ball under the guise of a dancing clase. The tickets now provided read: ‘Good for one lesson.” Prof. McLearen was defendant in a case heard before Judge Miller today, the charge being “unlicensed entertainment.” Wm. McNally was at the school, and he he went there to learn the “O'Reilly lanci: The defendant gave evidence in his own behalf and said that taught several persous the first steps in dancing on the night charged. Judge Miller wanted to know if all the figures wero not called cut at balls as wellas at tho echool, and the defendant said they used to be in olden times, but not now. The case was dismissed. eo FASTING 205 DAYS. The Remarkable Record Made by Mrs. Adam Wuchter, Today is the 205th of the fast of Mrs. Wuchter of White Hall, Pa. A week before Good Friday, April 4, Mrs, Wuchter tasted the last food of a solid nature, and for some time previous she could only partake of it after being reduced to liquid form. White Hall sta- tion, being a rather out-of-the-way place, the case did not attract much attention during the first two months, and no record was kept. When in normal health, Mrs, Wuchter weighed 136 pounds, but after having fasted sixty days her weight fell to fifty-five pounds, At that period convulsions racked her frame, and blood flowed from her eyes, It was then predicted that the end was near. Tho discase was pronounced cancer of the pharynix, When the fast had been extended to 100 days the complained of intense pain the throat, head and stomach. She could speak only with an effort, and, during the severe spasms, she had to be held down in bed. Her neck at this time measured but nine inches in circumference, She now lost her eyesight entirely, tho pupils of her eyes turning white. Her riht «rm be- came paralyzed, ‘lhe woman continued in this pitiable condition, the convulsions becoming 60 severe that death was momentarily expected. But she always rallied, althongh her suffering was intense. After the 140th day of the fast she was seized with a hacking cough, She breathed entirely through the mouth. Mra. Wuchter 1s thirty-eight years of age, and is the mother of three children, two boys and a girl. Her husband, Adam Wuchter, sa laborer by occupation. egg RICH COLURED MEN, Examples of Ex-Slaves in the South Who Have Grown Wealthy. From the Chicago Tribune, It will probably be surprising to know that in Galveston there is a colored man who is worth over $350,000, His uame is Sylvester and he haga fine mansion in tne most desirable resi- dence portion of the city, and, what will most surprise Chicago people, his wife employs none but white servants, How did Sylvester get rich? Well, he got a start in politics, then ran asaloon and gambling house for colored peo- ple for a few years, then went into real estate and speculated, He is shrewd and successful, One of the most successful and wealthiest real estate men of Houston is acolored man. His name is Milton Sterrett. own a fine residence, surrounded by immense grounds, all terraced off and planted in the finest flowers and shrubbery, and keeps a landscape gar- dener to attend it. He wasa waiter on the boats between Galveston and Houston before and all during tho war, and made everything he has in real estate deals during the last twenty years. He owns several large planta- tions, and is worth at least $400,000. ‘Then take Senator C, N. Burton of Fort Bend county. When the war closed and he was freed he lived on a plantation belonging to bis mis- tress, whose husband and two sons were killed, leaving her alone in the world. She had given im a good elementary education; he was shrewd, By attention to business he soon ac- quired a good farm. Ina few years he added to it, and bought inthe plantation formerly owned by his mistress,and had two oth large ones on the Brazos in ten years more, His old mistress being reduced to poverty, he undertook to take care of her. He said when he was elected to the state senate that he owed all he was to her kindness, and that he felt it his duty tocare tor her. And he sent her back to her native state—Virginia—and regularly remits to her, and has done so for fifteen years, 150 every month. He is popular with whites and blacks, democrats and republicans, and studied law so that he could depend upon him- self to manage his immense plantation and ranch interests. Senator Burton is worth over Then Henry Black, the great sheep and cat- tle ranchman of Tom Green and Pecos counties, is worth nearly $509,000, He has mado it ail in less than fifteen years, Are these men south- ern negroes? Yes, every one of them, But the largest ‘plantation owner and the heaviest farm land taxpayer in the rich county of Lamar was a light-colored mulatto named Harvey.

A Glance at the Dealings of the Lone don Stock Exchange. From the New York Times. The magnitude of Wall street’ monetary transactions sinks into insignificance when compared to the business daily done on the London stock exchange. The number and the quantity of the stocks handled in the British capital are remarkable. In this market the whole world is brought into financial proximity and tho business enterprises of the entire globe are made the medium of speculation. The re- ports of the business done on any day in the London stock exchange show this to be the trath. Indeed, the foreign and colonial secur- ities dealt in here—governmental, railway, banks and miscellaneous industrial—far out- number those of the united kingdom. + In colonial government inscribed securities there are quoted ‘above par those of Canada, the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, New South Wales, New Zealand, South Australia, Tasma- nia, Victoria and Western Australia, In foreign government securities are found in one close neighborhood, the Argentine Republic, Brazil, Buenos Ayres, Chili, China, Costa Rica, Egypt, France, Greoce, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Portu- gal, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Uruguay, th United States and Virginia. Of these securi the United States 4 per cents lead all others In railway securities, stocks, bonds, and obligations, the list is almost interminable, and the roads represented lace the globe. Every road in the united kingdom is repre- sented in the daily dealings, and the American list includes everything of prominence in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America, There are quotations of no less than eight different Indian railways, and the names of the Bengal-Nagpur, the Bombay, Baroda and Central India, the Robilkund and Kumaon and the Great Indian Peninsular are as familiar to the London stock broker and the London spec- ulator as the names of our own great railways are to the Wall street operator. There area dozen or more South American railways hsted and liberally dealt in, and close beside them, in the quotations, are found the Ottoman, from Smyrna to Aidin, the South Austrian, the Dutch Rhenish, the Charkow-Krementschug, and many others that sound odd and strange to New York ears. In bank stocks the array ia imposing, and the names suggest bonds of commercial interest between London and the rest of the world, There are the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, the Bank of Africa, the Bank of Australasia, the Bank of New South Waies, the Bank of New Zealand, the Bank of South Australia, the Bank of Tara- paca and London, the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, the Hong-Kong and Shanghai Bank, the Imperial Bank of Persia, the Imperial Ottoman Bank, the London and San Francisco Bank and the London Bank of Mexico and South America, In mines the transactions are large and extend from the gold fields of South Africa to the silver diggings on the western slopes of the Rocky mountains, and from the diamond mines of Brazil to the copper finds of Lake Huron, Telegraph and telephone stocks aro dealt in, and the quota- tions show a juxtaposition of the Anglo-Amer- ican, the Direct United States Cable, the Great Northern of Copenhagen, the Western and Bra- zilian and the West India and Panama. Corporation stocks represent such distant places from London as Melbourne, Buenos Ayres and the City of Mexico, In foreign stocks, bonds, &e., coupons payable in London or abroad, there are copiously represented the Argentine Republic, Brazil, Buenos Ayres, Chili, China, Colombia, Cordova, Ecuador, Ezypt, Greece, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Hun- ary, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Uruguay, Breweries are mado a conspicuous means of investment and speculation, and we find the Chicago, Frank Jones and St. Louis breweries quoted with those of Allsopp, Guinness, Barns- ley, Ohisson’s Cape and Watney & Co, ‘Commercial and industrial ‘enterprises have awide range and extend from the forges of Leeds to the water supply of Buenos Ayres. Financial, land and investment enterprises em- brace concerns operating in America, Austra- lia, New Zealand, the ‘Transvaal, Peru and nu- morous other countries remote from each other and having no interest in common except those created by the London stock market and existing on the London exchange. In addition to these dealings in foreign se- curities, stocks, bonds, mines, railways, land investments and commercial and industrial enterprises, the business done in British rail- ways, bauks, financial trusts, gas companics, insurance concerns, tramways, omuibus com- anies, wa’ works and other domestic and jocal stocks is studendous. Tho daily transac- tions of the London stock exchange disclose a marvelous diversity of interests spreading over the entire civilized globe, and yet focused in one place for the purposes of investment and speculation, It isa wonderful community of interests, a marvelous transformation of the business world into one close neighborhood, and it suggests the idea that the people of Great Britain not only have a great deal of money, but they are anxious to use it in either investment or speculation, es, HOW TO PLAY WITH FIRE, A New Amusement That Will Make an Evening at Home Pass Pleasantly, From the Argosy. With the lengthening evenings of autumn thero arises s demand for novel indoor amuse- mente. An English papor tells how such can be obtained on strictly scientific principles, in describing an entertainment at which the writer was present: The lecturer held up a sheet of paper, which he touched with the still glowing wick of the candle, Instantly the paper began to smolder, and it smoldered up and down in a narrow line until it had written “God save the queen”— which was the very last thing we expected it would do. Then other sheets of paper were taken and on some patterns were burned out, on others animals were drawn. On the last there ap- peared a very fair sketch in stencil of tho room im which the lecture was given, This was mysterious, The papers were landed round for examination, and, though some were held me to the light, no pattern could be found on em. “It is easy enough to prepare such papers,” said the lecturer, -“Take some saltpetre and dissolve in water till the water will take up no more. Then with a,wooden point, such #3 a match end or a slip of shaving, use this sol tion ag an ink and draw the pattern on pa) Any paper will do, but unsized paper will not show the mark when the liquid tise, which it very soon will do, But if there is no mark how are you to know where to start from? Make a pencil mark atthe spot. When you are ready apply to the mark a glowing stick like this. You ‘will seo the burning spread right and left until the ends meet and you have a re- sult like that!” And out dropped an elephant, ——_—_cee- Parnell Cost the Times $900,000, From tho Pall Mall Gazette, E The Parnellite business has cost the Times £190,000, ‘That is the exact figure, everything included, and it has been paid by the share- holders of the paper foregoing their dividends for last year and for the first six months of this Year. The Walters, however, are not losers to the extent commonly supposed, for John Wal- ter stands toward the paper in a two fold ca- pacity, He isthe owner of sixteen shares out of sixty, and the dividend on each share for 9 was £3,000. Therefore John Walter's loss was, on his sixteen shares, £48,000. But he is also printer of the Times, and this printing business is kept separate from the publishing. He supplies paper, ink, printing, &., and the profits thereon belong exclusiveiy to him. On these he lost nothing, for it was decided that the printer of the paper could not be called upon to bearany share inthe general losses accruing tothe publishing department. The whole of the £180,000 bas now been paid off, and as the circulation of the paper and its re- ceipts for advertisements have increased it is reckoned that a dividend of £2,000 will be paid per share at the close of this year.
