From the annual reportof the Court of Claims submitted to the Attorney General it appears that the aggregate number of suits commenced against the government in that court and pending is about 14,000 and that the war claims alone now pending number 8.000, invoiving an estimated agzregated sum of 400,000,000. During the past year, under the general jurisdiction of the court, claims amounting to nearly 000,000 were disposed of. In these cases the amount recovered was $210,000.

Last evening while a Stan reporter was sit- ting in a barber's chair the shop boy was busy telling the customers why he did not stay out late at night. Ghosts was the cause of his domesticity. The boy had been ia the habit of sleeping in the shop with his employer, but one night the latter failed to return to the shop. The boy retired as usual. He slept soundly | until about 2 a.m., when he was suddenly awak- ened by a mysterions noise, “Ghosts” was his first thought. and his last, too, for he sprang out of bed and bolted out of the door. He did not wait for anything, and in the morning when the proprietor reached the shop be found it unnecessary to use his key. The door was already open. “SLAP” DOCTORS aBoUT. One of the barbers said that although not mnch of a belicver in ghosts, he was protty certain that there were “night doctors” or “slap doctors” about, and his fear of them caused him to return home promptly when hii day's work is over. Several years ago, he said, an old colored man who lived in Jackson alley went out to get some coal oil anid he has never been soen since. ‘I know that the ‘doc- tors’ got him,” the uarrator added. SCARED RESURRECTION ISTS, Then he told of a grocer in the city who was inasaloon one night wien two suspicious- looking men entered and cailed for drinks. While they were drinking, he says, ho went out and looked inawagon that belouged to the men. In the wagon waza piece of canvas. Under the canvas, ho said, was a body and they lifted the body from the vehicle and placed it in the street, He gotin between the canvas and the men drove off down strect. One of the two men in charge of the wagon reached back and remarked, ‘He's warm yet.” “Yes,” replied the supposed cadaver, “if you had been in the infernal regions es long as I have you would be warm too.” The men jumped off the wagon, so the grocer says, and he kept the team. He sold the wagon, but still owns the hor: Two Wife Beaters Fined. “Doctor” Noah Warner, acolored man who peddies herb medicine from door to door, was # prisoner in Judge Miller's court this morn- ing. The doctor's wife, Lizzie Warner, ap- peared with several yards of cotton rag ticd about her head and hand and she atcused the doctor of having assaulted her, She charged that he bit her hand and injured her breast so that it caused a mis in_ her head. What did he assault you for?” inquired the court. * ause I was going out in service,” she re- sponded. “My husband does not support me and I have got to work for myself.” “Well, doctor, what have you to say for yourself? asked the judge of the defendant, ““I am a doctor and sell b medicine,” he began. ‘What does your medicine cure “All sorts of swelling.”. The defendant then told of the trouble between his wife and himself and the judge asked him why he did not support his fami “I docs support her,” was the response, “and if you go to my house now yor will find becon and cabbage ana beef- steak in my cupboard.” He was fined $5. William Hill, «nother colored wife beater, was called for ill-treating his wife, Harriet Hill. The young wife said that her husband came homo from work yesterday in the rain. His clothes were wet and when he had changod them he started out. She ranted to know where he was going, when he turned upon her and dealt her a blow inthe face, severely in- juring her eye. When asked why he assaulted is wife the defendant said, ‘We got on er questions and I struck her.” He was fined $20 or sixty days, ate The National Guard Engineer Corps.

Not a Pint in the Bottle. A bottle of whisky was produced in the Po- lice Court yesterday afternoon as evidence in the case of Sarah Cohen, who was charged with being an uulicensed liquor dealer, In order to maintain the charge it was necessary to prove that there was a pint of whisky in the bottle.

This week the judge gathered u second crop, hough it was not as large as the first one. Women fn the Scriptures. ‘To the Editor of Tux Kvexro Stan: The question of the day in the Methodist Episcopal Church is the admission of women as lay delegates to the general couferenco. Considering the fact that in the membership of the Methodist church two-thirds are women, it does seom strange to the reasoning female mind that so many of the ministers aro opposed to the admission of women to the councils of the church, and that they distort the scriptures to prove that it is almost wicked for women to dare to aspire to any equality with men.

How would the ministers of today like to obey the command. “Go without purse or scrip, with but one coat?” Mr. Broadus quotes First Corinthians, xi-:34, to prove that woman are forbidden to speak in the churches, then quotes First Corinthians, xi:5, where women ure told they must not speak or prophesy in church with uncovered heads. tir.

Washington, D.C., October 23, 1890. a He Was Afraid of Her. John Zalinski probably had good reason for swearing in the Police Court this morning that he was afraid of q woman. The woman in question was Mrs. Annie Orme, who lives in South Washington not far from McLean ave- nue and 43y street. She had good reason to believe that Zalinski had abused her young son, and sho took the law into her own hand: That was why Zalinski charged her with as- sault. Her boy, he , called after him “Oid Zalinski,” and called him bad names. He ad- mitted that he took hold of the boy, and then described how Mrs. Orme caught him by the collar and ‘shoked” him. “Are you afraid of this lady?” the judge asked him. “Tam, sir.” he responded. Mrs, Orme told how she was informed that Zalineki had beaten her boy, and she met him coming out of the alley. Her boy was crying. “What did you do?” “I caught him by the collar and struck him, “Case dismissed.” es The Zoological Park.

Mr. Roosevelt’s Words of Comfort for Government Employes. Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt in an interview advises government clerks that they are not obliged to contribute to campaign fands and warns ail employes of the government that they are in danger of prosecution if they solicit or receive from or give money to other employes, directly or indirectly, -for campaign purposes, He tells clerke they need apprehend nothing from threats designed to frighten them into making political contributions, No clerk can be molested for refusing to contribute. “We are sure,” he says, “that no enbinet officer wouid permit » man to be molested for refusing to contribute toa campaign fund. It would be a direct breach of law to permit any one to be molested for such a cause. The threat by irre- sponsible ontsiders to blacklist men refusing to contribute is a mere piece of idle bravado, for no one in the government service dare or in my opinion desires to try to put such a threat into execution.
