No longer is the Georgetown “vag,” legally speaking, a separate and distinct being from his Washington brother; no longer will the two stand side by side in court, charged with the eame offense (that of having no visible means of support), and yet be separately and differently dealt with. Under an old Georgetown law members of that class of perrone denominated as “vags” when arrested conld be sentenced to but twenty days’ confinement, while those taken in custody on the Washington side had to lan- guich for ten additional days. For a long time this difference in the laws of the two places has | caused much annoyance, and several efforts to | | bring them on a par in this particular have | been made. But not until Saturday were the | | Heutenants of the various precincts notified of | the complete passage of “An act for the preser- | | vation of the public and the protection of | the y within the District of Columbia,” in which act it is provided that hereafter the ment inflicted upon “vags” shall be the same whether the offouder be arrested in Wash- ington or m Georgetown. Not only does it apply to Georgetown proper, but to the county about. ‘The follo is the wording of that portion of the act relating to vs ite: “That all vagrants idle and disorderly per- sons, persons of evil life and fame, persons who | here’ag visible means of support, persons who are likely to become chargeable to the District of | Columbia as paupers, or drunk in or about any of the streets, alleys, avenues, highways, roads or public places within the District of Columbia, or loitering in or about tippling houses, al! | suspicious persons who have no fixed piace of | residence or cannot give a good account of themselves, &c., shall upon conviction thereof before the’ Police Court be required to enter into security for their good behavior for th space of six calendar months, Said securit all be ip the nature of a recognizance to the | District of Columbia to be approved by said court in a penalty not execeding €200, coadi- | tioned the offender shall not for the space of | six months repeat the offense which ho is| charged and shali in other respects conduct him- | self properly.” i Heretofore the highest bond that could be de- manded of a Georgetown vag was a £20 one. THE CONNER LOAFEES. Section 6 makes justly punishable another class of persons who heretofore in George- town have been beyond the reach of the law. THE WHIST TROPHY. A Celebration of the Capital Bicycle ke Signal Success. ' ‘The Capital Bicyele Club had quite a celebra- tion last evening in their comfortable club house on 15th street. The occasion was the presentation to the club of the handsome trophy won by the club's whist team in the re- cent whist congress in New York and a gen- eral interchange of congratnlations on the club's signal suceoss. The vice president, Mr. Irving Williamsongmade thepresentation, with a few happy remarks, The trophy is a hand- some silver vase, exceedingly rich in design | and workmanship. It was presented to tho Whist League by the Hamilton Club of Phila- delphin, and was contested for at the recent congress for the first time. Interosting inci- dents of the congress were related by the mem- bers of the team, which consisted of Messrs, Wooten, Bingham, Eakins and Low. A mam- moth bowl of punch, with sandwich: attach- ments, added to the enjoyment of the evening. ‘THE WHIST CONGRESS. Comparatively few people realize what a victory it was that the Capital Clab’s team gained in the congress. The club has been known all over the country for many years as.a lending wheeling organization, but ‘the whist world was iguorant of its existence. its team appeared among the entries for the whist tournament, where they would be pitted against the most scientific plavers in the country. they were not considered in the race atall. “Everybody supposed that the contest would be between the Humilton Club of Phila: | delphis and the Milwaukee Club. The rules of the congress required a team to drop out after two defenta. Tho Capital team re- ceived a black eyo in the very first round, being beaten by the University team of Chicago b? one point. When Friday night came the on! competitors remaining in the field were the Hamilton, Capitol and Milwaukee tecms. The first two had each sustained one defeat, while the Milwankee players had a clean score. When the Hamiltons and Capitals met Friday evenin they were told that the winning team wou lay the Milwaukees thenoxt morning, and the familtons were told to be on hand promptly at M1 o'clock. The Capitals were not taken into consideration atall. But thoy administered a crushing defeat to the Philadelphia toam, and were promptly on hand to compete with the crack Milwaukee players.

In ali of these extracts the statement has been made that these little moons have been observed only once, and that at their time of discovery in August, 1877. ‘The satellites of Mars, the inner one named Phobos, the outer one Deimos, were discovered by Prof. Asaph Bull with the twenty-six-inch telescope of the naval observatory. ‘The.outer one was first seen on’ the night of August 11; the inner one on the night of August 17, 1877.
