A reporter who called om him afew days ago learned the following story from him. JEROME GRAHAM, 2805 Oliveave I suffered with Catarrh for five years: my nose was tuted up all the time, and I was contiually taking cold, and had « sore throat most of the time: my voice ‘Was thick and husky. and my voice sounded as if I was ‘speaking through my nose. I had large swellings on my neck, which I thought due to sore throat, but ‘they persisted for several months. i went to Dr. JORDAN, GG 13th st. n.w., and feel a sreat relief since I have been under his treatment. My Bose is free to breathe throuei uow. I have not hada sore throat since I commenced treatment. My voice isclear. The swellings in my neck are now so small a uot to be uoticed. Dr. JORDAN has done me a ‘wonder’ ui lot of good. Dr. JORDAN furnishes all medicines free, and his charges are so reasonable that they are within the each of all. DR. Cc. M.

An Old Man Sent There and Fined for Policy Playing. ‘This morning in Judge Miller's court Lawyer Shillington appeared as counsel for Ezekiel Cade, one of the best known policy men here and in Alexandria, against whom Detective Block had a charge of writing policy. ‘The prisoner, @ man nearly seventy years old, with gray and mustache, stood in raigned. The clerk did not have to read the charge, as his counsel said thathe desired to of guilty in the case. In doing so Mr. Shillington asked for the imposition of » fine instead of @ jail semtence, as the latter, he dren dependent upon the prisoner for support. Judge Miller said it was sad that the sending of the defeadant to jail would cause bis family to suffer. If the offense was of any other n: | ture it would be different and the sentence sug- gested would no doubt answer, but when the offense is s part of the gigantic system of policy a jail sentence is absolutely necessary. ‘he object of the law, the judge said, was not so much for the purpose of punishing the indi- vidual as it was to stop the business. SOME INFORMATION FURXINMED. Mr. Mullowney, the prosecuting officer, in- quired if the court wanted some information concerning the prisoner and the Judge said he did. Detective Block said be had known the risoner for about fifteen years and he knew im to be an inveterate policy writer. He has served one term in jail, “I arrested him in the kitchen of a colored woman's house,” said the officer, “and he was surrounded by about twenty colored women. Since his incarcera- tion ere for writing policy he has been deal- ing faro across the river. Mr. Shillington said that when Cade out of jail he made an honest effort to work that was legitimate, but failing in this he had to fali back in the policy business. “How old are you?” inquired the judge of the prisoner. “sixty-seven years,” he replied. He then ad- mitted to the judge that he had been in the olicy business a number of years, and when e expiained about his daily book what good that did the players. 3 “They consider it a loss. und play again,” he replied He then assurred the court that he conducted am honest business and paid ull the hits. Among the colored people he said most of his players were women, while with the white, they were mostly men. EVILS OF FOLICY PLAYING. The court then spoke at length about ser- vont girls getting #8. month and playing €7 of it in policy. The prisoner said he had never kept accounts wo as to be able to tell how much any one person played, and the judge added that the amount stated was his calculation. Cade said that he had a widowed daughter and four children tosupport, and he was forced to return to the policy business because of their wants. t is @ sad thing indeed,” said the judge, “that their wants induced you to go ito a business that makes beggars, loafers and scoundrels of about one-third of the commun ity, and it is also a sad duty that the court has to perform in sending aman of your age and appearance to jail, but it must be done. ‘Ar. Shillingion again plead for his client and the latter spoke of the time, as he said, when the business was punishable by a fine and not imprisonment, and that remark, the judge said, showed that there was no use in imposing a fine without imprisonment. ‘The backers would pay the fine and charge it to the profit and loss account. am determined,” concluded the judge, “that everybody interested in the business shall personally bear punishment and shail not be set free upon tue payment of u fine by the backers” : A sentence of thirty days in jail and a fine of $100 was imposed. : i ‘The penalty was made light in consideration of the prisoner's age and surroundings.

Sweet Charlotta, the beautiful brunette, had left her couch and mys- teriously disappeared. The tocsin of alarm resounded throughout the camp, to which every male member responded with the utmost alacrity. The disappearance of the beautiful neon was hastily told ard the surroundings of the camp carefully searched, but no traces of Sweet Charlotta could ve found. Daylight disclosed the fact that the herculean Apollo, the beautiful queen's favorite uncle, had also disappeared, and consternation was added tothe alarm. A mournful wailing dirge re- sounded throughout the country. A hasty con sultation of the elders of the tribe was held: that the couple had eloped was the only con- elusion arrived at. Immediately word was con- veyed to the police and a description of the couple telegraphed to various partsof the coun- try.

From the Berliner Boersen-Courie: The peace congress, which was closed in Rome on Monday, could not end ite proceed- ings without a quarrel. On Saturday the con- gress considered the proposal of Mr. Hodgson Pratt that professors in universities should inculcate in the minds of students under their instruction the principles approved by the congress. The Englishman, Snape, pronounced such action on the part of instructors to be im- possible. The American, Samuel Beiler, an- ewered: “In America the professors are ready to serve as apostles of the universal peace. Even the most distinguished of our learned men would not shirk such a duty.” The American, Holmes, said that Mr. Beiler ad made a mistake and’ did not understand he was talking about. What! Don't know what I am_ talking about?” shouted Mr. Beiler, angrily. “I? Why, I myself am a professor.” ‘At what university?” asked Mr. Holmes. ‘In Philadelphia.” “4n Philadelphia? Well, I know graduates of this university who can neither read nor write. ‘The president of the congress had listened to this war of words, which was carried on in English, with touching helplessness, for he un- derstood no word of English. But at Mr. Holmes’ last outbreak he made this effort to reconcile the contestants: “Be quiet, be quiet, please, gentlemen. That sort of thing happens in ail countries.” The proposal of Mr. Hodgson Pratt was in- dorsed, and in most universities of the world the universal peace muy soon be taught; surely, however, in Philadelphia. ———— The Decay of Home Life. From Lippincott’s Magazine. “Don't tell me that a house which is given over to the servants half the time, father, mother, children, all going separate ways, and always on the rush, a house with gas fires and unopened books, a house in which there is no evening lamp, no morning prayer, no time for music, for talk, for all the occupations and interests and pleasures that link each to each day by day, year by year, ‘in natural piety,” —don’t tell me that that is’s home? Iam not sure that most of us want one; we have sur- vived home, perhaps, and prefer a thousand roosts to one nest. ‘The decay of home life, in our cities nt least, is the most striking of all the changes that I observe after a long absence from my own country. We were once the most domestic of all nations—drearily #o, foreigners suid; but that can no longer be made a ground of complaint. Lam not complaining. My own idea is to march with the times and look facts in the face. Tam for making our houses as plain as possible, containing only the ordinary conveniences provided at trifling cost. Let us furnish our streets and public places of every kind sumptuously, I say—Sth avenue or Broadway inclosed in glase from November to May, adorned with statuary, bric-a-brac. pict- ures, easy chairs, comfortable sofas. meals to be served aia carte; from May to November, awnings, ices, cane furniture, palm-leaf fans, —in short, modern comforts where we moderns most need them, and that is emphatically abroad and not at home. Asan asylum for poor relations, for the temporary screening of tending absconding bank cashiers, for the i sane, cases of infectious disease, similar purposes, a private house’ m: auseful thing tohave in the family; but that isall. Let us improve all our public places and conveyances—have drawing room street for instance, with a buffet attachment, y seat a distinct easy chair, a Corot oppo- site instead of Epps’s cocoa, grateful and com- forting, a library of select fiction, cut flowers, good stained glasx—no more straw, draughts, banging doors, squeezing and pushing and iscomfort, in short.

Rather Mixed Up. From the Prairie Bazoo. We are indebted to Mr. John F. Ashworth of Pasadena, Cal., for files of papers. One of them contains the following bit of fun: “The editor of a western newspaper lives in a house between a Methodist church and a dance hall. One night there wasa meeting in the church and a dance in the hall, and the editor sat on the veranda and took in the situation, jotting down the following, which he heard: “Let us pray—l your "partners—oh, Lord—all salute—we beseech thee to—join hands and— draw near—circle to the left—listen—to us— first four forward and back—as we—all prome- nade—kneel before Thee and—bslance all— resent your petition—grand right and left— ‘or Christ's sake—seat your partners.’ The editor was more than saddened at the degener- acy of the village and went off and joined base ball club in order to be neutral.” see A Saucy Kid.

He was also a barber in the old country, strange asitaay seem. They are usually noblemen in disguise when they get here. But this man acknowicdges that he was « barber in the kingdom of Great Britain. In ‘one of his talks toe customer Thanksgiving he said: “What s great country this ie for mustaches and goatees or imperials! We always know an American in the ald country by the way in which he wears his beard, or nearly always. And I must say that the fashion set by the American men in this respect is rapidly gain- ing —— Of course with the nobility the style is the short and pointed beard. The Duke of Edinburgh set the fashion. and the style is camtagious among our military men, especially those in the navy. You know the le we beards in Engi a chope—ma chops they were most generally cailed. Well, sir, that is not the proper thing any more. The old men cling to the custom, biess their hearts, but the young men are fast following the American ideas in whiskers. Our judges in England are for the most part clean shaven. The barristers for the most part wear the mutton chops. It is seldom one secs a long-whiskered man in any of the professions, wir. Sir Edward Clarke, who went for the Prince of Wales in the late scandal over there, wears a long beard. He is the only one of any note that I recall who docs. When I was in New York 1 had Mr. Ward Me- Allister pointed out to me. His style of mustache would not be tolerated one minute in English society, but I was told he is the leader of fashion in New York. ‘The neat way to wear a mustache is to comb it over tbe mouth, then twist the ends or wax them. A mustache then is an ornament. The American goatee is never seen on the face of an English ‘gentleman.’ Po Government Control of Telegrapha, From Electricity. Mr. E. Rosewater of the Omaha Bee gave an exhaustive description of the government tele- graphs of Europe before the New York Electric Club on December 8. Mr. Hosewater is of opinion that the postal system of this country cannot uttain its full measure of usefulness and efficiency until the electric telegraph and long- distance telephone have been made an integral part of the post office system, with the pneu- matic tube service as an auxiliary for convey- ing letters and messages in our great centers of Population, “In the early part of ‘his lecture r. Rosewater outlined the remarkable increase that has taken place inthe number of postal telegraph messages in Great Britain since 1870. From 9,850,177 ih that year the number bas in- creased to 62,403,399 in 1890-1. In New York or Chicago a city mi ten words or less costs 20 cents. In London as many words ag can be written on the blank or card, which varies from 100 to 1,000 words, can be sent for 12% cents, and, what is also of i portance, the message will be delivered almost before the girl that usually acts as operator in the hotels or local offices in our cities would have time to copy it. against the introduction of a government telc- ties it would open up for political cor- It was refreshing to hear from Mr. r that in every country he visited the telegraph service was kept free from politics. No case in which anybody in the telegraphic service had suffered in any way on account of poiitical opinions had come under hisnotice. The employes were amused even ai the idea of One of the strongest arguments advanced | graph system in this country is set forth in the | . At the great telegraphic center of Swansea, in Wales, the superintendent told him thathe and a large proportion of the working force were ardent radicalsand strong), opposed to the Salisbury ministry, but the idea that their places could be endangered or their work interfered with on this account never entered into their heads. At the Bérlin office a furious socialist occupied au important place in the service. This man was not merely hos- tile to the government, but to the very form of the government, and yet, so long as he did his work faithfully, he could uot be disturbed. At the same time the telegraph employes are ex- pected to refrain from active political work, either on the stump or elsewhere, as this might Jead them into abuse or depreciation of their superior officers and consequent destruction of discipline. An interesting fact to which Mr. Rosewater referred in the course of bis lecture is that in Austria the bulk of all press dispatches are transmitted by long-distance telephone. which is part of the postal telegaph vlant in that country. This i» also truc of Germany. All the press dispatches between Vienna and Prague, a distance of nearly 300 miles, are transmitted by telephone at rates computed ac- cording to the time consumed. After the lecture the subject was warmly dis- cussed, the general tenor of the remarks of the speakers being that although government control of telegraphs might be an excellent thing for European countries it was an experi ment the success of which in this country would be very doubiful. saat “A It Was Only a Blind.

She begged te be excused, but as he had an important message to deliver he was shown in, and being, of course, blind he was asked to take a sent in her boudoir.
