They were married in Baltimore November 15, 1887, and she charged desertion July 7, 189%, and that had since failed to supported her The Estate of Mr. Wm. J. Florence. The will of the late Wm. J. Florence. the actor, by which his estate is left to the widow, was made in 1876, and although from the phraseology it was evidently his intent to give his wife all he possessed there has arisen a ques- tion as to whether the property here in square 91—Connecticut enue, 20th and S streets northwest—and about $10,000 in real estate notes, aggregating in value over 250,000, will &e to the wiiow.

About 1:40 o’cloc last night a fire was dis- covered in the cellarsof 1002 and 1004 20th street Rorthwest aud it was extinguished with but little loss. at Work. About s week ago the police here ascer- tained that there bad been shipped from here by express to a northern city a barrel and there Was some suspicions of crookedness about it. Maj.

THE STREET FAKIRS AND CURBSTONE MERCHANTS WERE DOING A LIVELY BUSINESS—THE BUMS AND TRAMPS WERE OUT IN FORCE—TWo OFFI- CERS IN CITIZENS’ CLOTHES WORKED, ‘The drenching rain yesterday morning kept the shoppers at home, but in the afternéon, when the clouds had partly cleared away and the sun’s rays were visible, there were many processions moving along the side streets, and every head was turned in the direction of down town. The storm abated in time for the gov- ernment clerks who had half holiday and from that time till midnight Pennsylvania avenue, ‘7th and F streets were crowded with shoppers an persons who were out to see the sights. Along the curbstones, neat the principal crossings and brightly illuminated stores, men stood in line to watch the passing crowds and only moved away upon the approach of = friend. ‘THE FARIRS AND STREET MERCHANTS. In the meanwhile the street arabs, fakirs and others selling all sorte of articles along the streets were not idle. These itinerant mer- chants offered all kinds of Christmas goods for sale, from the colored boy with the tin horn to the ‘candy manufacturer and the toy dealer. ‘The push-cart merchants were out in larger numbers than and Were permitted to do business along the line of the curb in some places without interruption. This was es) cially the case on 7th street between E and F streets, in front of the Post Office building, where there was noone to complain and there- fore the “keep moving” rule was not en- forced.

Another long-bearded man, who would have looked like Santa Claus had his whiskers been the proper color, had a large assortment of toys on his cart, and his lunge were also used to good advantage, and his customers kept him busy for some time. 7 th vehicles were filled with bananas, grapes and other fruit, while wt of them carried stocks of candies and Christmas novelties. THE BOYS WITH TIX HORNS. The boys who sold tin horns had lots of fan as they pressed through the crowd tooting their cheaply constructed instruments in a deafen- ing manner. : “Sweet lavender 5 cents a package” was the cry of a youngster who stood on Market space and addressed his remarks to the ladies, whom he assured that the fine quality of the article he was selling could not be reproduced. At most of the street corners men with large bundles of the latest novelties in_toys he forth and attracted large crowds. These men wade large sales for the reason that the toys they offered were new and they had an oppor- tunity to exhibit them to the best advantage possible. ‘THE STREET FAKIRS. The fakirs did not forget to come out last night, although the majority of the Washington fakirs are out of town, where they are not so well known, and their swindling brethren from other places came in tocatch the trade. Fakirs, like all other persons who sell snide goods, ean” not operate in one town many seasons in suc- cession, for they become as well known as the goods they sell, and persons purch from them once or twice and getting swindled are likely to know better next time. ‘The genuine street fakirs, who are able to tell pleasing stories and hold their audiences for a quarter of an hour at a time, are not so plenti- tul about here as they were a few yearsago. A number of those who belonged here have died and others have gone to prey upon the unsus- pecting of other communities. THE MACERS WERE OUT. The people who did not forget to get out in the crowd last night were those individuals who beg for a living and who are known as “bums” or “‘macers.” These people knew that Christmas eve was a good time for them to operate, as persons generally were in good humor in anticipation of a pleasant time today. and the stories they told were calculated to bring them in dollars instead of nickels. They swarmed Pennsylvania avenue and F street and itissafe to state that they and the army of tramps collected fally $100. WORKED TWO OFFICERS. Two officers in citizens’ clothes were ac- costed near Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street by one of these “bums,” who told « piti- tale of his suffering for want of food and a place to sleep, and one of the coppers recog- nizing him as aman he had seen three da: ago inquired, “When did you reach the city? “Just came in today.” “You are lying,” said the officer, “for I saw you here three days ago.” “Have I been here three days and didn’t know it?” asked the knight of the road. “Was I drunk or sober?” “Here's a nickel,” said one of the officers. “Here's another.”” “Thanks.” ‘The man crossed the avenue and before the officers reached 7th street the same tramp ac- coeted them again and evidently thought the officers would not recognize him. ONCE TOO OFTES. His second appearance was a complete sur- prise to the officers, and one of them asked him if he ever did the “stem racket.” “I don’t go that low,” he answered. This is done by breaking the stem off his pipe and begging for a few pennies to purchase a new one. When questioned by the officers as to how long he had been on the road he said this was his “first turn,” assured the officers that he was no “hobby” and said he would “lamb” out of the neighborhood. ‘The ofticers showed their badges to the man and told bim who they were, and he thanked them for being kind enough to let him go with- oft locking him up. When the crowd thinned out the “bums” made themselves scarce, and disap} cheap lodging houses to ‘spend th many of ‘them who got enough money will probably leave here for another field today and make room for others who are no doubt on the road here. es The Suggestion Commended. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘The suggestion made by E. L Renick in Wednesday's Stan isa good one and deserves to be carried out. The wonder is it has not been thought ot before. There are many law- yers and law students in the departments who could not fail to derive much benefit in various ways from sucb an association. A moot court connected with the association, for instance, would afford its members opportunities to be- come familiar with the practical part of their profession. This would be of decided advan- tage to clerks who have no chance to attend the courts beeause of their time being taken up during. the day in the departments. It is to be hoped that Mr. Renick’s suggestions will re- ceive the attention of » sufficient number of department lawyers and legal students to form an association which ought to have been in ex- istence long before this 3. uo A Lack of Light, To the Editor of The Evening Star: Residents on 14th street are discussing the propriety of petitioning the Commussioners to take away the electric light poles and put the gas lamps in operation. Superficially this may seem to be a stop backward, but it is undoubt- edly a scientific truth, amply supported and fortified, that a common gas lamp in good working order renders more effective illumi- nating service forty unwethetic electric light poles. It is generally understood amon; those who have some acquaintance with elect cal matters that a current of electricity is neces- sary for the production of light The current is somewhat casual and deci ly uncertain in its visits to 14th street. a es Not a Proper Subject for Charity.
