. ee. eT THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, at. “Only this and Nothing More.” There is this to be said about Johann Hoffs Malt Extract that those who have once taken it diseard all others. This is clearly indicated by the rapid increase in its sales. When pa- tients everywhere have once adopted Johann Hoff's Malt Ex- tract the difference between it and inferior extracts usually sold as “Hoffs Extract” is so manifest] apparent that they will not bear even the mention of any other. And the reason is that it is not results permanent. Johann Hoff's Malt Extract for the space of nearly half a century has been a blessing to myriads of sufferers from dyspepsia, sleeplessness and general debility. Had it not been 80 it would have heen a “dead letter” ere now. Beware of imita- tions. The genuine must have the signature of “Johann Hoff” on the neck of every bottle.

With but one week remaining within which this Congress can legislate the chances are that all laws affecting the District will re- | main in the same condition in which they now are. Appropriation will occupy almost every moment of the Senate and opportunity | for District legislation will be a mere chance. | The Senate District committee has probably | held its last session, and when it again meets it | | will be with another chairman and some new | | members, During the week there may per- | haps be one or two measures adopted to which | | there is no objection, but the majority of the! on the Senate calendar will die with the | sdjou:nment. This session has not been particularly pro- | ductive of District laws, and the railroad bills, | | which it was especially desirable should be en- | | acted, still remain in the same position which | they ‘occupied when the session . The Baltimore and Obio and the Pennsylvania bills | todo way with grade crossings are dead and | the Norfolk and Western's entrance into the city will have to be brought before the next Con-| xress. Thereare, however, two measures which stand the best chance for fe. The liquor bill, which i now under discussion by the Sen- ate, will probably pass that body, but already two important amendments to it have been adopted and what fate they will meet with in the House cannot be foretold. The other bill is that to create a board of charities, which has passed the House and is now on the Senate cal- endar. only more grateful to the palate, | but its action is immediate and its ‘BI Enacted.

But while the noticeable empire and 1830 | have held our awestruck eves the directoire and the Russian blouse have been creeping down toward tbe ground, until we have with us once again the elegant and form-defining princess. It is not, to be sure, the old sheath- like gown cut with tailor-made severity from collar to hem; it is combined now with yokes, plastrons, revers and the fuil double skirt, This collar is practically an extension of the Russian blouse, fitted smoothly. It foretells the not distant old-fashioned overskirt, though ux yot it is of the same material as the founda- | tion skirt. A further modification, I predict, will soon give us the draped pannieraand an: | cient overskirts opening upon contrasting ma- terials beneath; another will result in the sin- gle-piece princess, reaching smoothly and un- interruptedly from fancy yoke to the ground, Meanwhile the transition is graceful and pretty. Aspring costume in Uhlan blue German broadcloth marks the change thus, ‘To a yoke of Irish guipure a rounding bodice is fastened (supposedly) with four velvet buttons. It extends to the knee, and would | absolutely sheath the form wero it not for narrow opening down each side, which is fille with lace jabots, The foundation skirts, of which there are two, are bound with narrow black velvet ribbon, as are all the edges of the gown. The sleeves have empire puffs of cloth, and the forearm pieces of the durable Irish guipure. ‘The hat is blue with an infinitesimal crown and an 130 dip to the poked-up brim. The Prince of Wales sleeves and black velvet ribbon trim | it simply but effectively. coe FOR THE AFTERNOON TEA, The Jacket as It is Worn on Many Gowns. Having worn the empire this winter at high functions, we will this spring return to the Princesses for thoso sume affairs, We area trifle tired of looseness and languishing, corset less attitudes, so the leaders are already looking toward the tight, sheath-like gown, which mal brisk poses aud the “best corset sold” vital ne- cessities. Truly the princess returns in time to “save” our figures from the baneful spread- | ing which the lax empire encourages. Most of the princess gowns have double flar- ing skirts and one of the dozen styles of jackets. FOR THE LENTEN AFFAIRS. A few—pioneers in the departure—are made | with jacket, bretelle, bertha or collarette upon an unmistakable one-piece garment. And, as if to call attention from the comparatively | simple skirt, the jacket is varied and ever re- news itself. There is the zouave, the Eton, the | square, stoiid-looking Russian, the Parisian, the Spanish, the Gipsy or Hungarian, the Bolero and the modifications of them all. ' Zouaves are long, reaching nearly to the waist line, or short as the bust line. ‘They are of velvet, of stripes of lace and ribbon, of solid passemen- terie and of broad, sach‘like ribbon hand- somely stamped in’ gold or silver upon the | outer edge and drawn from the under arm seams up to the shoulder, where it is finished in a butterfly bow. Galloon, guimpe, jet irides- cent beaded stuffs, are all used lavishly upon these jackets, until ‘they lend an oriental, bar- baric richness to the gown. A pretty princess, with a novel jacket, is of bengaline and satin." The costume is not'at all ultra, and the sobriety of the colors gi a positive distinction. ‘The bengaline is ble d'or or wheat color, and the jacket, collar, forearm, sleeves and skirt flouncings aro a rich golden olive satin, The tight bodice spreads down- ward into a slightly flaring skirt, with a true | princess back. ‘Ihe bottom’ is finished with a | Hounce of satin, and two closely set rows of 1t circle the skirt at the knees. The jacket is a short, square zouave, which turns at the toy into bretelles, whose greatest width and full- ness are massed at the choulder points. The bretelles take the form of a ruffle straight across the back of the gown. A V-shaped chemi ite of lace extends to the curve of the Jacket at the bust. i oe Ay Exursition of a working model of the Brott system of transporting express, mail, &c., by an elevated electrical bicycle railroad was given on Saturday at 625 F street.

A sad sight was witnessed on the Long bridge causeway about 12:30 o'clock this morning, when the local train from Quantico smashed into an extra freight and horribly mangled and killed one of the railroad men. Like all similar acciderite the crash came with suddenness that caused a general shaking up of the passengers and the painful injury of several of the employes. The passenger train No. 107 was due here about 12:30 and it was on time, so the railroad men sey. The extra freight train was No. 300 and it left here forthe south at alate hour. When the causeway was reached a red light warned the engineer of danger abead and his train’ was pulled into the siding to await orders. The freight train was in charge of Conductor Thornberry, Engineer Darneil and Fireman | Simpson. i Engineer Mark Maloney held the throttle of the passenger engine and Fireman C. F. Koer- nicke bad charge of the fire. Telegraph Operator V. J. Veal was in charge 1 of the switch and signals near the south end of | the causeway and to him is attributed the acci- dent. | | HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. When the freight train stopped on the siding the e eer left his cab for afew moments, | while Fireman Simpson remained in the cab where it was warm. Such as the condition of affairs when the north-bound passenger train entered the south end of the bridge and came along as though there was a clear track ahead. ‘The switch was open, and the train instead of clearing the freight left the main track and went into the citing: striking the freight en- | gine with such force as to smash both engines | ‘a8 Well as to demolish the baggage and a freight | car. There were not many passengers on the train atthe time, but those who were there were badly frightened. Following the collision was the sound of es- i d it was feared for a time that wreck, but it soon transpired that all the men, with the exception of Fireman Simpson of the freight train, had been accounted for, although | Engineer Maloney and Fireman Koernicke of | the passenger train were considerably bruised | and injured. FIREMAN SIMPSON DIES. Those who were at the scene of the accident | wen! to work to rescue Fireman Simpson, but when they reached him it was discovered that both his legs had been severed from his bod: He wos taken to the signal station, as were th two injured men, but he died before the ar- | rival of Dr. Boarman, the railroad company surgeon. “The injured men's wounds were | dressed and they were taken to their homes in the police ambulance. Wreckers were telegraphed for and a crew arrived from Alexandria and another from this | city. The tracks were soon cleared and the debris was burned. In the meantime the police had endeavored to ascertain the cause of the accident, and as | the result of their brief investigation they ar- rested Operator Veal and locked him up at the fourth precinct station. It was charged that he failed to close the | witch to the north-bound train. and he in turn | accuser Engineer Maloney with having failed to | obey the danger signal. He eays that the road was blocked to both trains and that the north- boupd train failed to obey the signal. The coroner was notified of the sad affair this morning and an inquest will be held at noon tomorrow, when the jury will in all probability fix the responsibility for the accident. ee Alexandrians Entertain Washington! Ie The Alexandria Assembly Club gave a grand complimentary reception to their Washington friends at the Odd Fellows’ Hall Firday evening. | ‘The party of invited guests numbering more than fifty of Washington's best colored society teft for Alexandria on the 6:18 train, arriving at 6:45 p.m., where they were met by the re- | ception committee, who conducted them to the hall, which was ‘most tastefully decorated. Prof. W. T. 8. Jackson of Washington High School had charge of the ball room. ‘The ladies were handsomely attired in even- ing costumes. The event was one of more than usual bril- liancy. The refreshments were served in » most unique style. Among the ladies present were Misses Hattie Simms, Florence Downs, Minnie Johnson, N Hyman, Lulu Cogans,’ Anna Wilder, Tucker.

They are ‘made for ladies, as well as men, and may be had in variety of shapes—broad, medium or narrow toe—but there is solid comfort in every pair. They are made with a glaze finish for Indies, and, besides all the com- fort, they are the most serviceable shoes for the price ever made. Try a pair the next time you buy. and when they are worn out, you will find yourself going blocks out of your way, if necessary, to get another pair. s01S4t Tar Caorcesr Axp Moser Exres. ave Szxzoriox Wooo Masrzis Axp Tras ‘The Gridiren Clad.

If this ratio is maintained through all the depart- ments—and I doubt not but it is very nearly the same through all—it isclear that the change would be very much against the interests of the democrats. This being the case, it would be foolish for them to sign the petition and un- seemly for republicans to do 60. 8.G.H. a Tue funeral of Mrs. Catherine W. Myer, widow of the late Gen. Albert J.
