S “KING” KELLY SIGNS. The Famous Ball Player Will Join the New Yorks. SENATORS ON THE TOBOGGAN ‘They Lose = Game to the Bridegroome— Stricker Makes an Unfortunate Throw— New Series Begun — Notes of the Flay- ers. “King” Kelly, the #10.000 beanty, went to New York Sunday night from the west. He had an appointment with John M. Ward at the St James Hotel, but the man- ager of the Giants did not putin an appearance until after ~Kel” departed. This, however, will make no difference in the “‘king’s” plans. He will play ball with the New Yorks on Thurs- day at the Polo grounds.

In that ease nothing canbe said. Otherwise Man- aget O’ Rourke merits deep censare for begi::ning experiments with the Washing:on infeid. Stricker took Sullivan's place on Saturday and by « wild throw lost the game. He did the same thing yesterday. Now, there is no disposition here to criticise the players for their errors. It is not reasonable to suppose that a player who thas been on the bench all the season can go ins game and play without error, especially at short or third, which are harder to play this year thanerer before. The blame is due the manager who makes such innovations neediessiy. Such changes wrecked the Senators last year. tors batted well, but the intield ned. ‘BROOKLTN. WASHINGTOS. HO. A. Ee) RHO.

The official measurer was Capt Leonard J. Nelson, master of the Hustler, the baby of the fleet. The start was made at 10 o'clock. The Startle won the race in 5 hours, 10 minutes and 15 seconds. The remarkable thing about the race was the ease with which the Startle, with only a meas- urement of twenty feet, knocked out the Agnes May. twenty-seven feet four inches, sailed by her owner, Capt. John H. Wheeler. The racers of the third class were the J:1m Jam and the Hustler. The former covered the distance im two and one-haif minutes ahead of the latter, batthe Hustler lost twenty minutes by the parting of her bobstay. ‘The winning yacht was presented with e sil- ver cup, donated by Mr. E. L. Jordan of No. 517 9th street. The Startle was also given the winner's pennant, and the Hustier received a similar trophy of victory for her class. A large fleet of boats and launches followed the racers over the course. The finish was boisterous with the blasts of whistles.

Sulli- ‘Yan was not to blame for the little unpleasant- ness on the train at Biddeford, Me., last week. lawyer, Lezotte, who, a couple of seasons ago was a ball umpire in Lewiston, reached over Sullivan to shake hands with Mr. Sheeban. Lezotte’s lighted cigar burned Sullivan's face, and the iatter, being suddenly awakened with pain from the burns he received, swore at Le- zotte, telling him to goaway. Lezotte, being as big a man as Sullivan, gave back talk, when Sullivan pushed him away and resumed his nap. Lezotte was about to spprosch Sullivan again when the mansger, a Mr. Howard, struck Le- zotte, who was apparently under the influence of fuor. lence it cost Sullivan $1,200 for his ‘extras in a trip to Maine. A bank note was a panacea for Mr. Lezotte’s alleged injuries. NEWS FROM MITCHELL. He Hopes That Nothing Will Prevent His Fight With Corbett. New York, May 23.—Richard K.

The Citizens’ Association Holds Quite an In- teresting Meeting. ‘Two dozen members of the East Washington Citizens’ Association assembled in Lippe’ Hall, corner of 8th and G streets northeast, last evening, and although the warm weather de- creased the attendance there was no lack of enthusiasm. The standing committees, how- ever, bad but little to report, but the chair- men of most of the commit! intimated that | there would be some interesting reports at the next meeting. President Frizzell, after calling the meeting to order, told the members of « visit by mom- bers of one of the committees to the District buildings. He first spoke of the question of improving the sidewalk on Delaware avenue between G and H strects, with reference to which he saw Capt. Febiger. ‘That official, he said, speaking of this locality, referred to the number of railroad tracks which cross the sidewalk to enter the warehouses. ‘The tracks, he said, were four or five inches above the grade, and Capt, Febiger said he saw no reason why persons should take the risk aud walk along there when they conld go a square or two out of the way and avoid the risk. WHAT CAPT. FEBIGER PRoMIsED. President Frizzell said he told Capt, Febiger that there were three or four dwelling houses on that square, but Mr. Moss, who was pr dent, said he thought there wero no houses there. Finally Capt. Febiger said he would settle the controversy by saying he would ad- vertise that square for improvement of the sidewalk. “Continuing, President Frizzell. said he learned that’ that portion of the complaint which referred to the gates and gongs ut the H street crossings hud been referred to Mr. Beggs, who said he had spent one whole hour at the crossing. and that in the heat of the day. and he had seen no such acts as stated in the resolutions xs a grievance. He said he saw three trains pass the crossing and it took no one of them more than three minutes. Presi- | dent Frizzell said he asked Mr. Beggs to go there and spend another hour, and asked him to go during the afternoon, when hundreds of persons are crossing the tracks, betore 4 dnd 5 o'clock. and then make his report. Mr. Tucker cailed attention to the condition of the sidewalk between F and Chicago streets, where he suid tiere was no brick walk, and pedestrians had to walk on the grass to keep out of the mud in wet weather, “I think you might have another interview with Mr. Moss,” said Mr. Tucker, ‘and perhaps you can convince him of the necessity for improvement. “I don’t believe you can convince him of anything,” remarked President Frizzell. “I had ahard time to convince him that there were houses on Delaware avenue.” ‘The matter of the fence and the coal office at Hstreet and Delaware avenue was men- tioned, and it was stated that while the office bas been torn down, a high fence has been put 1n its place, and the public is no better off now than it was before the building was taken down. President Frizzell told of tho handsomely engrossed set of resolutions presented to Capt. Kossell by the association. ‘The occasion of the presentation, he said, was w pleasant one, and the members of the committee had the pleasure of meeting Capt. Powell, The affair was an extremely pleasant one. President Frizzell said he was confident that it, would bear good fruit, Chairmau Chappell of the committee on streets, avenues and alleys said he had no re- port to make, although he said the work of his committee would soon be commenced in order to make up estimates in time for the Commis- siouers, ay he kuew the Commissioners would ay some attention to the matter soon after the eginning of the next fiscal year. ‘THE PROPOSED COKNER-STONE CELEBRATION. Mr. Tucker spoke of the proposed celebration of the corner-stone iaying of the Capitol and offered the foliowing: Whereas, the East Washington Citizens’ As- sociation, ina spirit of patriotism which is ever foremost in the minds of American citi- zens, and in remembrance of an event in which all American citizens ahould be deeply inter- |, which the pe portant events that has ever occurred within its borders, and which Masons of the nation at large should deem the most significant historic ceremony that has ever been conducted by that fraternity in this country, has conceived the idea of celebrating the one hundredth anni- sary of the laying of the corner stone of the ated States Capitol by President Washington, on September 18, 1793, by a grand celebration appropriate to so important on event, and adopted resolutions providing for a mass meet- lug of the citizens of the District of Columbla for the purpose of formulating plans for the proposed ceiebration. Be it resolved, ‘that wo, the Northeast Washington Association, are in full sympa- thy and accord with our sister aysociation in the proposed movement; that we heartily in- dorse the report of the executive committee of ‘that association, and that we sincerely offer our active co-operation in the advancement and succes of this patriotic celebration, which will be so educational and interesting to the people of the whole nation. The motion was adopted and the chair ap- pointed Messrs. Boyer, Tucker, Frizzell, King and Carver members of 8 committce to attend the next meeting of the East Washington Asso- ciation and present a copy of the resolution, under the head of new business, Mr. King said he understood that under an act of Con- gress all the street ratiroads were to lay tho latest improved rail. He failed to seo where the Columbia street railroad had complied with the terms of that act, and he therefore thought the attention of the committee should be called to the matter. ‘THE SANITARY PROBLEM. President Frizzell thought the time had ar- rived when the association showid look after sanitary matters, as the garbage question and nuisances needed some attention. “If the rest of you have been treated as badly as Ihave becn treated by the Rarbage man,” he said, “you know it is time to take concerted action.” Mr. Tucker xaid he knew there was plenty to do. for when the garbage man only comes once in six weeks and there are nuisances of other kinds existing he thought it time to take some action toward remedying them. ‘Mr. Chappell was also anxious that some- thing should be done, and he thought there should be no delay in the matter. ‘The chair then appointed as mgmbers of a committee to look after sanitafy matters, Meserz, Donaldson, Boyer. Holsten, Sowerbutts, Calvin, Powell and Gienn, President Frizzell toid of the result of the hearing of the cases of fast runniug of trains, in which he said Judge Miller did ull he could to assist the prosecution, but the defense called for proof as to the identity of the engin evr, which could not be furnished, und the ease dismissed. One other engineer picad guilty and was fined, President Frizzell eaid he had written a let- ter to the Commissioners, making suggestions concerning the arrest of the engineers, and that letter was referred to Lieut. Heffner, who has not yet made his report upon it, Aiter the transaction of further routine busi- ness the meeting adjourned. eS MARY MONROE! STRANGE DEATH. Suspicious Circumstances Attending the ‘Tragedy. There are very suspicions circumstances sur- rounding the burning to death at Waterbury, Conn., Friday night of Mrs, Mary Monroe, a domestic in the family of Henry Roberts of Nangatucket, and Maud Roberts, Mr. Roberts’ daughter, aged five years. An unknown peddler was seen going into tho house early in the morning while Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were at work inashop, Late in the afternoon, just before the fire was discovered, the peddler was seen running away. The theory of Medical Examiner Tuttle is that the little girl entered the bouse and found the peddler and the domestic; the peddler struck the child, knocking her insensible, and then set fire to her clothes to conceal his crime, the domestic being on the bed drunk. ‘The peddier had been taxing beer into the house all day. ‘The medical examiner thinks that the peddler also set fire to the cnrtains down stairs in order to make it appear that the fire started from the first floor. The child’s feet and legs from tho knees down were not burned, making it probable that the clothes had not been set on fire, The domestic’s body was burned from the thighs upward, Coroner Mix will investigate both deaths. ‘The peddler is still at large. a Getter for the Indian.

One is the ex- position, the other is the climate. The first you may neglect if you want,to, but from the latter there is no escape. ‘The Chicago climate is fearfully and wonder- fully made. Therefore the preparations for an encounter with it should be prayerfully con- sidered. Any misguided woman who thinks she can “go to Chicago in » handbag” would better secure alist of hospitals in advance. For a two weeks’ visit she will need a trunk, and these are some of the things which she should put into it. First and most important of all should be a suitable outing dress. Let it be short and light of weight. Luckily, these requirements are not incompatible with the present fashion, #0 that you will not need to erseify the spirit in order to satisfy the needs of flesh. Of course dark blue serve has no rival asa material for this suit. Have the Eton jacket lined, first for warmth and second to preserve it in some sort of shape. You may take one skirt waist and have quite enough, of you may take a hundred and have Rone tvo many. It all depends on your selec- tion. One dark silk skirt waist will answer every need. A light one of some wash fabric will, at the end of an hour in the Chicago at- mosphere, be fit only for the laundry. Too much cannot be said about the xmoke of Chi- cago, It is nota thin, fleeting substance, dis- sipated by the lightest breeze. It is heavy, solid, thick, resisting even the force of the windy city’s gales. At the fair grounds them- selves it is not bad, but in the city, cleanliness isan impossible virtue. A dark outing dress. | therefore, with a dark silk skirt waist and col- ored collar and cuffs should be the foundation of vour wardrobe, With these wear a simple dark bat; light in weight. in order to avoid as far ax possibie the hendaches which are the bete noir of most | Women: broad of brim, to shield the eves from the glare of sunlight reflected from the thoit- ‘and walls of the “white city,” and without feathers or perishable tlummery, for ains! it has been known somecimes to rain and rain hard in Chicago. ‘The present style of sailor hat isa very desirable one for the world’s fair tourist, but women who cannot wear this shape will be glad if they do not buy the little toque com- monly recommended. ‘The eyex wll suffer enough at the best, and a broad brim on one’s hat will bea blessing not to be lightly disre- garded. | ! | i So mnch for abat. In selecting shoes, enb- tract largely from your pride and add to the size of shoe you are in the habit of wearing. Walking and standing are as sure to spread the feet as water is to run down hill. and the mind and heart ure loyal champions of their lower brethren. ‘They will never be at eae while the latter are ill-treated. Russet leather is softer and more comfortable than any other kind. is also more presentable after half a di wear. High shoes are somewhat wat Oxfords, but on the other hand they are a good bay ‘per to the ankle. In point of temperature the Chicago climate doesn't seem to favor a happy medium. It runs to extremes, very far apart in degree and very close together in time.

The news quickly spread and a reporter sought out Samuel Woolner. ‘Mr. Woolner said that he fully realized that the withdrawal of the distilleries owned by these men was a deathbiow to the “whisky | trust,” and, to use his own language, “it looks as if thie move would ‘bust’ the Distilling and le Feeding Company. ‘The withdrawai of the Grove and Union di tilleries, which I represent as trustee for Wool- ner Brothers,” continued Mr, Woolner, “the Manhattan, owned by E. 8.

The certificate presented to the customs in- spectors at San Francisco by a recently arrived Chinese passenger stated in English that its holder was Lee Fong, « merchant residing at 14 2d street, Portland, Ore., and that his onity was excited by some Chinese characters written on the back of the document, and a translation of them showed that they were there to “coach” the holder as to who he was not. They told him that bis name was Lee Fong, Wah Kee's partner in business at 14 2d street, Portland, and conveyed some other information which would enable him to land through the custom house. When 14 2d street was visited night before last, it was found to be occupied by an American plumber, and a search of Chinatown failed to discover Wah Kee. Yesterday, however. the firm of Wah Kee & Co., general Chinese, merchandise, was located at 130 2d street, Between Wash- ington and Alder. ‘Wah Kee knew Lee Fong very well :, was bis business associate, in fact, for several years prior to his death, which occurred three years and two months ago. Lee was a genuine mer- chant anda very good Chinaman. His death occurred in this and his remains were interred with ali pomp and ceremony due his Station in life. His bones were subsequently exhumed and shipped to China, ‘The China- man who represented himself to Collector Phelps as Lee Fong, partner of Wah Lee. was & fraud, because that particuiar Lee Fong is too dead to travel. Wah Kee knew that Chincse passengers are constantly sneaking into tiais country under false pretense, and he also knew that many of them inisely represented them- seives to be his partners in business. But what could he do to prevent it, even if he desired to do so? ‘A very intelligent young Chinaman who had listened to Wah Kee’s explanation then told the story of the late Chin Wah Lee aud the shameiess way in which his honored name is pilfered by coolies seeking a first landing on these whores, Cixin-was a merchant of high standing in this city. About eighteen months ago a smatl. dark speck appeared on one of his eyeballs. Itdid not cause any physical pain, but its appearance was suspicious, and Chin's sensitive voul was much troubled. He visited an eminent Chinese oculist and received the discomforting assurance that the speck would kil bim with a year. After paying the emi- nent one a princely fee for his information, he picked up his traps and took the next steamer for China to die in the bosom of his family. Six months later he was.a corpse. Worriment over the speck and the oculist’s prediction developed into a galloping decline, which ear- ried him off. He was duly buried amid his forefathers, but since his interment he bas re- turned in ‘the flesh to this city many times, None of his old cronies here have seen him since he bade them good-bye and started with his eye speck and his burden of worriment for the celestial empire, but they are convinced by the testimony of duly signed certificates that he has frequently arrived among them since then.

BRAZIL From the San Francisco Chronicle. Charles A. Carlisle is registered at the Grand Hotel from Brazil, South America, He is on his way to China and Japan on one of the largest projects South America ever attempted. He is going to secure laborers for the tremen- dous coffee plantations of his country and will ask for 100,000 men a year for a number of years. The planters have already made con- tracts with him to take 24,000 of the coolies. ‘The grext reason for this immense traffic in laborers is the sheer desperation of the men who own the largest coffee plantations in the world. ‘The native laborers and the slaves im- ported from Africa no longer perform the task set for them, ‘The emancipation proclamation of Dom Pedro made the laborers unfit for ser- vice. The Africanus have already fled to the woods, where they live in camps as wild and barbarous as in their native land, Last year in a single state in Brazil over 600,000 bags of coffee were lost simply because the crop could not be gathered. In the whole country over 1,000,000 sacks went to waste, and the vaine, amounting to about €8,000,000 to$10,000,000, was a direct loss to the planters. For the iast year the government struggling to obtain German and Italian laborers. During the year more than 185,000 Italians and almost ‘as many Germans were brought over the At- lantic. ‘The firm represented by Mr. Carlisle, which is one of the largest in Brazil, now has’ con- tract with the government to bring over 10,000 more of the Germans and Italiana, In securing these people they are offered free transportation and ail expenses paid after they land until they are engaged to work. The only dificulty, but an msurmonntable one, is that the Gernians and Italians soou learn that they can do better for themselves, and so embark in their own enterprises. In this way they ali gradually drift to the cities or to estates of their own. ‘The trade now on foot to China and Japan is a necessity, Alrendy Baron de Ladrio, at the head of an embassy from Brazil, is on his way to the east. He is aboard the cruiser Almirante and as far on his way as Toulon, France, His govern- ment kes don titmever before did with ged for consuls to every e Chinese government, and ppointed minister. Baron de Ladrio will go directly to Peking to nego- tiate a treaty with the emperor and Li Hung Chang. The laborers are ail to be free. but will be secured as cheaply as possible. There will be many men needed for the cocoa, sugar and rubber industries, but most of them will work in the coffee plantetions. At this time the Dutch and Stahans are still pouring in at the rate of 300 per week, but they are not sat- isfactory to the planters. Mr, Carlisle has just been on a flying trip to London. where he made arrangements to se- cure a line of big steam vessels. They wiil be puton a line from Rio Janeiro via the Cape of Good Hope to Hong Kong. Four steamers have already been secured and will be started very soon, The steamers will take coal and rice trom China exclusively, and will conse- quently take no ballast, Returning from Bra- zil they will be loaded with coffee, sugar, cocoa and rubber. It is expected that a great trade. will :be developed with the oriental countries. The steamers will doubtless trade up the coast, and willin all probability pro- Orleans. isle will visit the Japanese uis to get their views of his project, and to secure their aid in furthering the undertaking. It is possible that alarge mimber of Chinese may be induced to zo to Brazil from this country. Mr. Carlisle is Yery anxious toget started on his way. He will sailon the Peru when she leaves next week. He is very sanguine of the success of his gigantic scheme, and thinks that a weighty problem has been solved. The coffee industry has assumed such enormous proportions that the prosperity of the country depends upon the crop being properly harvested.

He did so, and ase result he felt justified in issuing this open letter to American inventors: ‘American inventors are hereby informed that M. Boettcher and his academy are frauds.
