WILLIAMS’ STATEMENT. The prisoner stated that Mrs. Watson was at the Pay} her house Thursday evening. She brought two chickens with her and she (Mra. Williams) purchased them. She promised Mra. Watson that she would call at her house the next even ing, which she did,and while there she saw the four fowls. Then she went upstairs to examine Mrs. Watson's sewing machine, which she also promised to buy. She then told of the visit of the officers to house and raid that one of them said to her: “You won't get off with this Dusiness as easy as you did with the last.” “What was that?” I askec. “When you slipped that girl ina box and sent her off,” he replied. A TOLICE SCANDAL. Speaking of the police, Mrs. Williams said that the only officers she know were Sergt. Burgess and Policeman Nicholson. Then she said that one of the officers bad been visiting her house and putting himself off as Sergt. Burgess, and if this trouble bad not occurred she would always have thought that he was Sergt. Burgess. “One day,” she said, “he came in all dressed up and Iasked him if he was going out duding. He responded, ‘Yes, I'm going out dading to- aay” A colored’ man named Wright was called at the suggestion of the prisoner. ‘He said his home wayin Alexandria, but be had been stopping at Mrs. William's house. A few days before Christmas he said he saw Mrs. Watson at Mrs. William's house. She waa teil- ing of her husband's having left her with two children and said she wanted to sell eight chickens to get money for medicine and food. Witness next saw her last Thursday night. ‘THE VERDICT. fter a long deliberation, returned bat the said Mary Watson came to her death about 6:30 p.m. January 16, 1891, at her residence, No. 410 E street southeast. While circumstances throw suspicion some- what upon one Mary Williams, who left the house a few moments before her death, we are unable from the evidence to determine the cause of death. We think, however, that the case should be referred to’ the grand juey for investigation.” The coroner made out a commitment and the prisoner was committed to jail. —— Joseph Cook's Lecture, “Friends and Foes of Free Schools” is the in- teresting subject chosen by Joseph Cook of Boston for his lecture at the Metropolitan M.E.

At the opening of the fourth annual session of the Supreme Lodge of the Improved Order of B'pai L'rith in Baltimore yeste forty delegates were present from nine lodges, representing a amembership of over 1,000. | Montefiore Lodge of this city was represented jby David Jackson. The retiring president, Samuel Neuhan, in his address spoke of the progress that had been made during the year and urged the order to assist in establishing the Jewish alliance, and asked for contributions toaid in relieving the wants of the Russian Jews. On this subject he said: “I cannot re- frain from speaking in exalted terms of Cardi- nal Gibbons. Moved bya feeling of justice and imbued with the noble instincts of man- kind, he has rendered a service to the Russian Jewish cause which ghould not be forgotten. Hic words, though spoken here, will be heard in the palace of the ezar and will become a strong pleader in requesting him to desist in his persecutions.” : ‘The supreme officers for the ensuing year were elected and installed as follows: Supreme resident, Halph Sachs; first supreme vice Pr mt, Harry A.

Otte: ieimers, supreme wecrctary, ‘Leopold Braun, supreme treasurer, Louis Frank; supreme ser- geant-at-arms, Herman Fuchs of New York, ‘By a unanimous vote of the couneil the secre- tary was instructed to write to Cardinal Gib- bons expressing the [cage gpeed and apprecia- tion felt toward him by the order for his un- solicited public expressions in behalf of the Russian Israelites.

Mrs. Esther Dashiel Johnston, wife of Dr. W. W. Johnston, the well-known physician, died Saturday after a brief illness from diphtheria. The news of her death was a ead shock to her DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS. But Little Progress Made in the Bill in the ‘House Saturday. After Taz Stan's report closed Saturday the debate on the District appropriation bill con- tinued in an intermittent way, s fow remarks on the pending measure being sandwiched with speeches on the race and other questions. ‘Mr. Rogers objected to the language of the proviso in the first paragraph relating to allow- ing claims of the Commissioners during 1878 and 1383. He characterized the paragraph as loosely drawn. Mr. Morrow defended the pro- viso. He stated that officers of the government had appeared before the committee; that the accounts had been thoroughly examined and that it was only just that this matter should be closed up. Mr. Clements explained that the proviso simply straightened out accounts which had been disallowed at the time on ac- count of Sechecsentiien. ae Paragraph was then amended as proposed by Mr. Sayers: limiting the amount to be paid to $20,000, and also several verbal amendments agreed to by Mr. McComas. ‘Two paragraphs of the bill relating to con- tingent expenses were then |, and debate resumed on the item ‘for rent of District offices, 33,600." Mr. McAdoo denounced the system in vogue here of renting buildings instead of erecting them, and the debate then wandered around in acircle and was finally ended by an adjourn- ment, no further amendments having been offered. ——$—_—_e—____.

The report complains of ex- travagance in the payment of salaries to officers of the fair and recklessness in incur- ting contingent expenses. Provision has been made to pay the president, secretary and director general annual salaries of $12,000, $10,000 and $15,000, respectively, and also $8,000 to the “vice chairman of the executive committee.” These salaries, in the opinion of the committee, are excessive, and should not be vontinued. Excessive expense has also been incurred in the appointment of such a large | aumber as 115 women on the board of lady tanagers, and the calling together of the board when the duties which will devolve upon it were not ready for its attention. The report proposes the reduction of sala- ries to—not in excess of $5,000 to the Presi- dent. $4,000 to the vice chairman of the ex- ecutive committee and $3,000 to the secretary; any ofticer of the board of lady managers in excess of $5,000 to the president and 3,000 to the secretary; not to approve the payment of expenses of the world’s Colum! ission or the board of lady managers other than those hereinbefore mentioned which shall amount to more than §10,000 per annum in the aggregate. For the expenses of the world’s Columbian commission and other contingent expenses an appropriation of $300,000 is recommended for the service of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891: and any money heretofore appropriated in aid of waid government exhibit may Do uscd in like manner and for like purposes. It is not the intention to recommend an increase in the amount of money by the government for a government exhibit, but a larger propors tion than was originally contemplated should be made ble immediately. The time of preparation is limited and funds are needed at onee. A Valuable Antiquity Discovered. The London 7imes announces that the au- thorities of the British Museum have discovered among the collection of papyrus rolls acquired recently in Egypt the text of Aristotle's treatise on the constitution of Athens, from which nu- merous writers of antiquity quote,but what has hitherto been known only in detached frag- ments. This treatise may now be seen at the British Museum, where fac similes of it are being prepared. “The opening chapter is miss- ing and the concluding chapter is mutilated, but otherwise the manuscript is in fect con- dition. There is little doubt of genuine- ness of the manuscript, because nothing wes known of the contents of the papyrus roll when. purchased. The Times says this discovery is almost unprecedented in the whole history of classical learnings. Rouevmatisa Is of two kinds—acute and chronic. ‘The former is ac- cowpanied by high fever, and in the swollen joints there is intense pain, which often suddenly changes from one part of the body to another.
