_THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. AUGUST 5. 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES. —— 15 DRUGGED IN THE CRADLE, Nursery is Responsible for Much Inebriety. Opium and Alcohol Frequently Given to Infants. ‘Noglect of a Baby’s Diet Results in Awful Consequences. ‘The inebriety of later life is often the result of opium and alcohol given in some form to babies for trivial reasons. Nurses who have given chil- Gren medicines for indigestion know how dificult it {s to wean the child from the drugs. The one great duty of parents to their children ‘a, therefore, not to give them medicine, but to make sure that they get food, pure, ample and capable of supplying materials of healthy growth and development. Where natural mother’s milk {s out of the ques- ton or Insufficient for the enormous demands made by the rapidly growing child, lactated food is pre- seribed by physicians. It quickly makes chubby, Tosy-faced, lively ables, the delight of mothers, fat, happy and crowing. ‘Writes Mra. Daniel Brown, 114 Cross street, Cen- ‘tral Falls, RL: “I have three of the most healthy little children im the state, and I must sey that they owe their health to having been brought up on lactated food. One of the leading doctors in Pawtucket Advised me to use it and I shail always feel giad that I followed nis advice. My youngest child is fourteen months old and is as healthy and cheery 88 any little boy could be, and Tam sure that lac tated food has a great deal todo with it. It bas been a great blessing to our little family, and I consider it my duty to recommend it to all my friends. They all nave the same good word for it after they have tried it; it has only to be tried and The good results will be seen at once. 1 shall always feel grateful to the ones who placed lac- tated food within the reach of all, whether rich or poor.” Lactated foou is in fact most economical, as it is Most nourishing and healthfal.

The Corcoran Cadet Corps, which is named in honor of the late W. W. Corcor- an, was organized February 22, 183. This organization, now in its eleventh year, is not only one of Washington's most popu- lar military organizations, but is also one of its most successful socially, having started In the first ward with mere boys, with wooden guns and short pants. The organization, when first formed, consisted of two companies, with the late Lieut. Col. Jno. Irwin in command, and Capt. E. C. Edwards in command of company ‘A, and Capt. C. I Daly in command of company B. After a year of hard drilling the bat- talion consolidated Itself Into one company, and selected Mr. Edwards for its com: mander, in which capacity he has faith- fully served ever since, and Capt.

In No- vember, 18%, and April, 188, the corps held two fairs at Masonic Temple, from which they realized enough to uniform themselves, and moved into more comfortable quarters, located at 13th street and Pennsylvania avenue, over the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Here they remained until A 1886, when they again moved into a ar. mory on lth street. Here the corps lived and had great success, and in November, 1886, they held their third fair at the Na- tional Rifles’ Armory. This fair, like the former ones, also proved a financial suc- cess, and with its proceeds the pur- chased a neat blue uniform. In time of the ’ history President Cleveland, hearing of the intention of giving a fair for the purpose of purchasing new uni- forms, contributed, and upon his own Tecommendation was elected an honorary member. In September, 1887, the corps, clad in their new uniforms, jeft on their first trip from home to take part in the constitution- al centennial celebration held in Philadel- phia. Here they won new laurels for them- selves, and as the Philadelphia ex- pressed it: “When President Cleveland caught sight of his Pet, com » he was seen to wave his dkerchief, and the sound of the Cadets’ Band was drown- ed with the cheering that greeted them. They,were immediately dubbed Cleveland's ets.” From Philadelphia the corps raturned and remained in solitude until April 20, 18%, when they were again called away—this time. though, to New York to take part In the Washington centennial celebration, and here they again won the admiration’ and commendation of thousands of spec-ators by their fine military appearance, and by request of the officers of the sixty-ninth regiment, N. G.8. N. ¥., gave an exhibition Since their trip to New York the Cor- corans have taken part in all the big pa- rades held in Washington, and in 189 took part in the Masonic celebration in Balti- more. Camping is no new experience with them, as they have twice been in camp with the National Guard and twice to Atlantic City and once to Ocean View with the Washing- ton Light Infantry. Last season they were encamped at Tolchester Beach. When the National Guard was organized they were the‘first individual company to enter, and at present they have one of the finest and most handsomely furnteied rooms in the National Guard Armory. ‘The Officers. The following is a brief history of the officers: Capt. E. C. Edwards ts well known in Washington. When the company organ- ized he was the choice of the members for the responsible position of commanding officer, and to him is due much of the Praise which must be awarded those who have built the company up and supported it during the period of its existence. Capt. Edwards never tires of military affairs, having been connected with military duty Since the days of the old Georgetown Zou- aves, he joining that organization when but fourteen years of age. He is but twenty- six years of age, married and has a son that he soon hopes to see don the brass but- tons. Capt. Edwards is an expert jeweler and hes designed many of the medals aWardea to members of the National Guard. First Lieut. C. A. Meyer is also well known in military circles, he having the distinguished honor of being the best drilled man in the National Guard, having twice won that distinction in two of the hardest individual contests that have ever been held in this city. He has filled nearly every rank from private to the one he now occu- jes. He was elected to his present position in December, 1890, and has at all times done his utmost to advance the company’s tnter- est Second Lieut.Robt. T. Smith was elevated to his present rank in October, 1891, and no one who knows him has ever intimated that his promotion was a mistake. He, too, started out from the ranks and worked his way up one step ata ti seein ase Funeral of J. Frank Ford. Funeral services were held this afternoon over the remains of Mr. J. Frank Ford, who died last Thursday. The funeral occurred residence, 209 llth street southwest, and interment was made at Glenwood cemetery. Mr. Ford was well known in this city, where he was born and reared. He has been connected with the Interior Department for the ast nineteen years, and at the time of his death was a clerk ‘in the document division. He leaves a@ wife and one daughter. from his late BELIEF IN WITCHCRAFT. It is Still Prevalent in Many Sections of the Country. A True Story About a Boy Who Was Thought to Be Bewitched and Ef- forts to Cure Him. It ts difficult to understand how, in this enlightened age, there can still be people who have a firm belief in witchcraft, but it is a fact that in one of Pennsylvania's largest’ towns three “witch doctors” make & comfortable living by the practice of their supposed art. One case to which all three were called is of unusual interest. It was that of a little boy, who, when about three years of age, began to show great weak- ness of the ankles, due, no doubt, to in- fantile paralysis. The parents, however, after many consultations with friends and neighbors, decided that the child had been bewitched by an old man who lived in the neighborhod. He was a singular old crea- ture, of strange habits and uncouth appear- ance, and he had a mania for hunting bur- fed treasure. To assist him in this he con- sulted every “witch book" he could find, and tried the potency of various “spells, Rone of which, however, proved of any avail. One day he came to Mr. D., the father of the little boy mentioned, ‘and asked him to contribute 310 toward the purchase of a certain book for which he was obliged to send to Ireland. He promised that if he succeeded—as he felt sure he must— by means of this book in finding any buried treasure Mr. D. should share it. Mr. D. was in receipt of a very small sal- ary, and he declined to make the contribu- tion. Promising to give him cause to re- gret his refusal, the old man went away, and a few weeks later the little boy's strength began to fail. The mother, in tell- ing the story, said: Sure the Old Man Had Bewitched, “We was sure from the first that it was the old man that had bewitched him. He did it to get even with Jack for not helping to buy that book. We think he tried first to throw the speli on Jack, but found Jack was too strong for him, 30 he threw it on Joey. That's the way they always do. It’s bound to fall on one of the family. Joey used to tell us that he saw the old man come alongside his bed, and we had to burn a light in the room all night. Sometimes he'd wake up screaming that the old man was after him with a knife. Then his tongue got stiff and he couldn't tell us any more, except by nodding his head when we asked him questions. “The old man was bound, you see, that he shouldn't tell us what he saw. Well, we took him to a witch doctor ‘then, and he said he could cure him. We paid him $, and he pow- wowed over him for a while, and then wrote something on a piece of paper, which he made me sign. This he tacked’ to the bed head, and Joey seemed to get some better for a while. But the spell got worked out, and he was so; bad off that he had to roll and push himself along the floor when he wanted to move, and he was all of a twitch all over. So we took him to a witch woman who was the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, and she said she wouldn’t cure him without we paid her $10 and gave her five yards and a half of red flannel and a pack of needles and a pack of thread. Well, it came pretty hard on us to manage it, but we was will- ing to live on oatmeal if only we could get our boy cured, and we gave her all she asked. She gave us a bottle of water and said we was to keep it for eight days in a dark closet, and on the ninth day, at 7 o'clock in the evening, I must bulld’a hot fire in the kitchen stove and set the bottle on it. When it burst the old man would come and the spell would be taken off of Joey. She also made a little hood of some of the red flannel and had me tie it round Joey’s neck, and she put little bags of red flannel over each door of the house. Well, on the ninth dcy I bullt the fire and put idn't, and when 10 o'clock came i bout sick I was so disappointed. But fore I went to bed I went into the kitchen and put the bottle right on to the coals, just as the witch doctor sald 1 was to do if it didn't burst on top the stove. The next morning I was awake long before day, but I didn't dare go down before sunup to see about the bottle, for fear I'd spoil the spell. I was all of a tremble when, at last, I went into the kitchen and raised the lid of the stove; and there Jay the bottle, just as T had put it in. But when I lifted it up it ran from my hands like molasses candy. The Witch Doctor's Explanation. “Of course I went to see the witch doctor and told her about it, and she said the old man had come, but he was stubborn and we'd have to try it all over again, and she must have another five dollars and another lot of flannel. I gave her the flannel, but I didn’t have the % handy just then,’ and 1 promised to give it to her if I saw the chitd got any better. The whole thing was done over again, and this time the bottle burst almost as ‘soon as I put it on the stove, but no old man came and Joey didn’t cet no better. The witch doctor came for her money and when I wouldn’t sive It to her she threw a spell on him so he couldn't raise his hands to feed himself. We've tried another witch doctor since then. but he couldn’t lift the spell off ani - guess it's on him too firm now for anything to help Another woman who was present during the recital said that it wasn’t any use say- Ing there weren't witches nowadays, for her own grandfather had been able to cast “apglia” on people. le moved on a farm rear my mother’s Place when I was about twelve years old. she said, “and he didn’t like my mother, and so he put a spell on her churn. From the time grandfather came mother couldn't make the butter come, and we had to heat ® clevis red hot and throw it into the churn. That always broke the spell.” A woman living in this Pennsylvania town was annoyed by a slight growth of on her cheeks and bougnt a bottle of liquid warranted to remove superfous hair within a fortnight. She hastenal to apply it liberally, having entire faith in its cacy. But immediately her face began to burn, the pain growing so intense as to force tears from ‘her eyes. In vain she bathed it, covered it with flour and with oil, and fanned it assiduously—it continued to burn. At last she rushed to the house of a neighbor, who advised her to allow, the sex- ton of a neighboring church to blow on it. He was sent for, and she declared that as soon as he blew on her face all pain left her instantly. The man has been accre‘it- €4 since his boyhood with the power to “blow fire,” as he calls it, and also to stop the flow of blood from a wound by the rep- etition of some verse from the Bible. —_——_—__ Heroism on the Stage. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. “If you knew what agony ballet girls suf- fer on account of their feet you would won- der how they are ever able to smile at an audience In the way they do," continued the doctor. “The premieres, if they appear twice the same evening, invariably have a chiropodist back of the scenes to attend them between acts. It is peculiar, but ballet girls get corns under their great toe- nails. This, of course, would prevent them from dancing, but we have a way ing such things. We split the toenail down the center and place cotton between this and the corn. This has to be dressed after each dance. I have seen a premiere dan- seuse come off the stage smiling and fall down in a faint as soon as she was out of sight of the audience, all caused by the pain in her feet. Soap to Calm the Waves. From the Chicago Record. Some experiments of Dr. Koppen have de- veloped the singular fact that soap is one of the best materials known for producing @ smooth surface on troubled waves. Only ery thin solution of soap is required, about one part to a thousand parts of wa. ter. Many other fatty materials were also tested, with indifferent results. Dr. Kop- pen declares that, contrary to the gener- ally accepted idea, petroleum or paraifin is of no use whatever in stilling the waves, and olive oil is of little value. On the other hand, he says that rapeseed oil and oll of turpentine have considerable effect. Of all oils, train oil is the best for this purpose. ——_+e+____ The Homing Pigeon. From the Philadelphia Press. Year by year the interest in carrier pig- eons increases. Belgium takes the Jead, but other countries are not far behind. The facility with which the bird determines its course is as yet unexplained. To attribute this knowledge of direction to Instinct is merely a confession of ignorance. It is much rather sight, reflection and sensation which guide the carrier pigeon on its course, and rarely guide tt wrong. The same fac- ulty is possessed by all migratory birds. To form an intelligent conception of this fac- ulty, we must assume either a special sense or a delicate sensitiveness to atmospheric currents. ‘The numerous experiments made by bal- loonists have proved that pigeons are in- capable of flying at any great height. Birds thrown out at 6,000 meters fell like dead, and even at the moderate height of 300 meters pigeons liberated by the balloonist Gaston Tissandier approached the earth in a spiral course. It is evident, hence, that they are not guided wholly by sight. To bring @ point 300 miles distant within the range of vision, tt would be necessary to ascend nearly ‘20,000 meters. The carrier pigeon, starting on such a journey, must consequently start with faith in the un- seen. PASSING IN REVIEW Before the Judges in the Police Oourt Robberies, Drunkenness and Va- grancy All Well Represented. Mary Johnson and Rebecca Smith were leaders of the procession in Judge Taylor’ court this morning and the charge against them was loud and boisterous talking. Mary is an elderly woman and she lives in Georgetown near the old Presbyterian cem- etery. This morning she was in the alley in rear of her premises complaining about the loss of her chickens and the poor old woman was naturally excited. She made more noise than Policeman Curren thought she had a right to make and he arrested her. Henry Smith, who is her nephew, had something to say in behalf of his aunt and later when he went to the station to leave collateral for her he was taken back and locked up. The officer told Judge Taylor that Henry used profane language. “That ain't so,” said Henry, “for it has been three years since I have used an oath. “I was out there quarreling about m; chickens," admitted Mra. Johnson, “and was in the alley part of the time.” “Five dollars or fifteen days each.” Tommy Armstead, a colored boy, was ac- cused of being disorderly. Policeman Car- son arrested him because he was watching a white man and a colored girl on a lot near the flying horses. “Dismissed.” Benjamin Anderson, a youn, got in trouble because he had a stick lai night. He gave the stick to another col- ored man, and it was claimed that the other man Intended to rob a citizen of his watch. Anderson made a statement in his own be- half and said he found the atick. “Where did you find it?” the judge asked im. “On 7th street.” Vhat were you doing with it?’ just walking with it.” “You won't need the assistance of a stick = @ month. You can go down for thirty colored man, “I want to go home, I ain't done noth- ing," was what John Brown sald. John had not fully recovered from his last night's spree and he told the judge that he felt very bad. “I arrested him on 8th street last night,” sald the officer. “He was dead drunk, and I found him stretched across the sidewalk. “Judge, your honor,” said Brown, “let me go this morning. I am feeling ‘under the Weather and if you let me go Tl atop drinking and go to work in the morning. “The usual fine,” said the court.

Thomas. “I came here from Hampton to undergo an examination, On the square, judge, I was full, and I get that way every time I come to town.” Policeman Hutch- inson arrested him near 15th ytrect and New York avenue, and he told the court of the man’s conduct. “The officer is teiling the truth,” sa!d the risoner, “but {f your honor will let me nh retur to Hampton on the boat thi evenin, “You can go,” sald the couxt. Suspicion was the charge again: man whose name was given as Andrew Wonder. “I'm a printer by trade,” he sald te the court. “I came here from New York, where I worked on the Journal.” Ue was urrest- ed in front of 413 G street. Milk had been missed from the house, and this morning the occupants of the house were watching for him. The milk disappeared at about the time he was at the door. He was given fifteen days. “Tennessee” Brown, an oid colored man, who the police complained hangs ubout Fitzvatrick’s saloon on lth street, was tried for vagrancy. “He's drunk most of the time,” said the officer, “and only a few days ago while under’ the influence of lquor he went in Senator, Cullom’s kitchen and caused some trouble.” It was also stated that he had been in the hablt of begging trom persous about the market and when refused alms he would invariably, use abusive language “} ain't guilty,” was the old man's plea. “I was standing on Rhode Island avenue looking at the fire engines when the police- man came up and sald, ‘Tennessee Brown, I want you and I'm going to send you down for ninety days.’ ” “I'll not give you that much this time,” said the court. “I'll let you off with sixty days this tim Led to Execution. “I think it 18 a great pity that the women of today wear high-heeled shoes,” remarked Judge Taylor this morning, when a very small colored boy admitted that he had been throwing stones in the street. ““Moth- ers should wear the old-fashioned slippers,” continued the court, “and in cases of this kind apply them in the old-fashioned way and with all the old-time vigor. I don't pro- pose to fine or send this child down to the work house, but this throwing of stones must stop. I will turn the boy over to her with the recommendation that she do lke- wise in the old-fashioned style and with all the old-time force.” That the boy's mother promised to do, and she led him off for execution. A Lively Fight. Isaac Johnson, a colored hostler, was on watch at Burgdorf's livery stable Thurs- day night, during which time a horse be- longing to Mr. A. F. Kingsley was injurea by some malicious person, who had used pitchfork. Johnson was the only man about the stable that night, and he was discharged. Subsequently he admitted that he inflicted the injuries, and yesterday, while under the influence of liquor, he went to the stable and got into a fight. David Carraher, foreman of the stable, and Cari urgdorf, son of the proprietor, figured in the fight, which resulted Ina. cat on John. son's head, and the loss of considerable blood. The partics to the affair figured in the Police Court this morning. Johnson de- nied the charge of cruelty to animals, but his confession was made in the presence of two witnesses, and the court held. him guilty. A fine of $25 was imposed. In the case of disorderly conduct against him a fine of $ was imposed, and his personal bonds taken. ‘The charge of assault against Carraher and Burgdorf was dismissed. Not Pi ed Enon Herbert Day, a small white boy, was be- fore Judge Mills this morning’ charged with helping himself to a watermelon from the patch of Robert V. Sutton, in the coun- ty. The boy dented the charge, but Mr. Sutton was positive in his assertion that he saw the boy take the watermelon from the vine and then go off and eat It. young, “Was the melon ripe?’ inquired the court. “No, sir,” replied Mr. Sutton. ‘What was it worth?” “About 25 cents." “That is,” remarked the Judge, have been worth that much ha ie ee “it would d it been sir.” “Boy,” said the court, “had you told me the truth and acknowledged that you took the watermelon I would have considered that the eating of the green fruit was sufi- clent punishment. But now I am going to ined $2."" compel you to pay for it. You are SWALLOWED A TURTLE. — A Curious Mis to a Little Swedish Boy in Maine. A curious accident recently befell the four-year-old child of Frank Larsen, a Swede farmer near Skowhegan, Maine, in which the little fellow swallowed a newly hatched turtle. The creature, which was about the size of a half dollar, had been sent the mother of the child by a relative living in the south, and the boy was play- ing with it, putting it in his mouth after the pecullar fashion of children to clap everything there that comes in their way. The mother heard the boy gasping for breath, and running to It saw that some hard object had become lodged in its upper throat. A doctor was hurriedly summoned, and after some difficulty succeeded in get- ting hold of the obstruction, and drew {t forth to his and Mrs. Larsen’s astonish- ment. The turtle had drawn in its limbs on finding itself in close quarters, and was Uttle the worse for its singular experience, but the boy was almost suffocated. ———_ e+ The Hawatiian Special Commiasioner.

From the Baltimore American. A dispatch from London several days ago stated In substance, or, at any rate, con- veyed the impression, that Justice Jeune had decided that the secrets of the con- fessional must be revealed in a court of justice when a clergyman is summoned to testify. This is altogether misleading, and has caused a lot of unnecessary excitement and discussion. The case in which the de- cision was made was heard some weeks ago In the English divorce court. A clergy- man of the English Church was a witness as to certain facts, among which were disclosures made to him by the respondent. He did not, nor did anyone else in his be- half, claim that these disclosures were made in the confessional, and, as a matter of fact, there 1s no such institution recog- rized by the English Church, though the practice of confession is common in some of the parishes of that church. ‘The witness tacitly admitted that the woman who was the respondent had made certain damaging disclosures to him, but from what leaked out during the trial it peared that they had been made not in his capacity as a confessor, nor even as a clergyman, but in order to effect an ami- cable arrangement between the parties to the suit. The witness, after giving evidence on other points, was questioned as to these disclosures, and expressed an unwilling- ness to testify. Justice Jeune told him thet he appreciated his embarrassment, but that unless the facts sought for were Proved by the other testimony he, the wit- ness, would have to tell what revelations the woman made to him. The facts were abundantly proved by other testimony, in- cluding the admissions of the woman ‘her- self, and there no necessity for the testimony of the clergyman ‘on these points. But ‘the clergyman, so far as the legal question of confidential communications Is concerned, occupied the position of a legal, rather than a spiritual adviser. He was not a lawyer, but he stood in the place of @ lawyer in endeavoring to bring about en arrangement that would obviate the Recessity of @ divorce sult, and the only ground upon which the plea of a conft- jential communication could be based was his position as an intermediary. But he had clearly destroyed the force of such a plea, if, indeed, there was any, by telling to others what the woman had communi- cated to him. If he could divulge to out- siders the secrets intrusted to him, the jus- tice saw no reason why he should be un- willing to reveal them in the interest of the law. ‘The secrets of the confessional are not supposed to be revealed to anybody by those to whom they are intrusted, so that the right of a court to extract them from clergymen can scarcely be regarded as a practical question, for, even conceding the Tight theoretically, if an attempt “were made to enforce it, it would lead to such endless confusion and annoyance that the law would soon be altered in self-defense. The whole affair is a tempest in a tea- t, caused by a misconception of what the Fudge actually decided. ————_r+e-_ THE BIG CHORUS. Anacostia the First Section to Have a Rehearsal. ‘The work of drilling the great chorus that is to participate in the Capitol corner stone celebration is going actively ‘orward, and some of the subdirectors have already their force in hand. Mr. J. A. Roeler, who has charge of the Anacostia section, told a Star reporter today that he had a rehearsal last night, with eighteen present. We added that ‘the ladies were more prompt in re- sponding to his call than were the gentle- men. He has called another rehearsal for next Tuesday evening, when he hopes to have as many young men in attendance a3 there are ladies. Circulars of instruction were sent to the various subdirectors yesterday, and Di- rector Cloward hopes that by next week re- ports will be received from each of the see- tions showing substantial proz-ess. amie Another Solution of the Silver Prob- lem. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: While there is so much discussion on the silver question it might not be amiss to give consideration to the following sugges- tion for the settlement of this vexed question: Let the government put a thousand or two tons of silver—now idle in its vaults at the treasury—on board one of the new cruisers and send her to London, where the white metal could be sold at auction, and @ return cargo of English gold be brought pack. To be sure, the price obtained might be low and occasion some loss to Uncle Sam, but this would be more than offset by the advantage of getting rid of unprofit: able stock. The British would be obliged to buy It to save their Indian exchanges, and we should have the gold! ‘The same gentleman who gives me the above suggestion adds that if that won't work, why not make up the stock of use- less silver into “souvenir spoons,” and as the metal belongs to the people, give every man and woman one who applies for it ‘The Pythians at Work. The executive committee of the Knights of Pythias is visiting the lodges in this jurisdiction soliciting funds for the con- clave of the Pythians to be held here next August.

A Favorite Resort for Many Visitors to the Fair. The Beauty and Wealth of Chicago jo There to Listen to the Music and Patronize the Cafe. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, Aug. 3, 1893. Tt does not take many visits to “Alt Wien,” Old Vienna—in the Plaisance, to Perceive that it is a favorite evening re- sort for Chicago people. If you leave it just about 7 o'clock you meet a small crowd entering or hurrying toward it; if you are there for the evening yourself you see the tables filled with friendly groups, dining and listening to the band from Vienna, which occupies the raised stand in the center of the so-called street, and is the nucleus of the crowd. It is not the commoner swarm of humanity either, but swell Chicago, with stunning gowns and charming hats and wonderfully pretty Wraps aa to the feminine portion, and all the latest things in general as to the mas- culine outfitting. One may frequently see Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer there and she always attracts the notice her “beauty and Position in Chicago just now entitle her to. There is quite a distance of gray stone wall, with roofs and peaks of towers peer- ing over it, to pass before coming to the entrance or gateway, like that of a walled city. Sentinels in ancient costume pace up and down before the arched opening and once within the old architecture is what immediately attfacts the eye. Mod- em Vienna ts much such a city as Wash- ington, airy, shady and well built, and while one knows the comfort of living in Such a place the narrow streets and irregu- lar buildings of the old town more to the sense of the picturesque in the trav- eler. This reproduction of antiquity ip very faithful, and as one walks along the fireet and gazes up at the old facades there is a glamor over it all and one really for- gets that only a moat and drawbridge sep- @rate us from all the other wonders of the Plaisance—that just beyond in Dahomey the Africans are ing on thelr vill life—in'the minaret of the mosque ont other side of the way the Muezzin is call- ing to prayer (taking the place of the for- bidden ‘bell of the Christian campanile)— and in fact that this is only a part and a small one of the great Columbian exposi- tion. The doorways of the buildings all open directly on the narrow sidewalk of the crooked little thoroughfare and into tiny shops whose windows are filled with wares more or less tempting. How to Enjoy It. The two large restaurants occupy a good deal of space, their chairs and tables out- side of the buildings quite filling the street at either end, the Vienna band being the center of attraction at the larger place, while zither players, in fanciful costumes, are performirfg at the other one, and a —— is beyond this it and con- nected with it. Ladies all affect the larger cafe, and one must thread their way to pass along here in the evening, it is s0 crowded. T am sorry the shops are closed, for it was amusing to go in and out ex- amining the goods, though the things in general were not more distinctive than in many other places on the Plaisance, and the prices were high; for instance, I bought a pin in the Algerian bazaar for $2 and later SaW one just like it in Old Vienna for which % was asked. As for the style of the thing you might call it Algerian or Austrian as you pleased. Bentwood furniture was dis- played in one of these tiny shops and ap- propriately, as we associate that with Aus- tria, but the only other thing that seemed particularly Viennese was the ename! on Porcelain, one place was filled with that in charming little forms, and some miniatures and other curios were also to be found here. Where one can purchase and take away the articles, things seem more tempting than when goods are only delivered at the close of the exposition, which makes trifles seem not worth waiting for. So I fancy these merchants have sold a great many of their pretty things. Among the merely aesthetic wares were some on the utilitarian order, the “always pointed” pencil being of a nature to at- tract the eye of a newspaper writer; here one handle was supplied with twelve tips,— and each tip contained four ed Jeads,—but_ this seemed too Yankee-like, and we would not get such a souvenir of Old Vienna. One dazzling litte place was filled with diamond-like stones, set and un- set, found somewhere in Austria, and real- ly quite brilliant in their scintillation: Listening to the Music. After making the round of the small community, we, too, were ready to sit down and have our dinner, and then to linger while twilight depened into night, and as the music went on, now stirring, now dreamy. to think that a few more such ex- periences, 1 this fascinatin, fair will’ be swept away, and ocean an continent must be traversed before we can sit again in “Old Vienna” and hear the music play, and see the gray old buildings whose colnterparts here have charmed us 30. To really see good exhibits of Austrian industry we must go in many directions through the world's fair gfounds, for in almost every department that country is well represented. In the liberal arts build- ing ts a large display of fine art work from Austria; the glass is especially beautiful, and there are great quantities of it, too. To me this is one of the most attractive spots in the building, and many times I have stopped to rest here awhile, and again look at the fine shapes and decoration, in the gold and white, and pale green and gold, which are my particular favorites. I had never realized the beauty of garnets until I saw them in Austria's exhibit, the glowing red of the stones showing ‘bril- Hiantly'in the many artistic forms cf orna: ment designed by the skilled workers in them. Case after case is filled with these lone, 0 ‘one can compare and really learn something of connoisseurship in regard to them after a little study of this display alone. Another Aust of which one firm makes @ pale olive green tint, nd sparkling, and set generally in combination with other stones, though some of the best specimens are entirely by themselves. I forget the name, as it has no equivalent in English. Fobs for ladies’ watches are among the prettiest articles, and some very charming necklaces with these stones in pendant form are also shown. In another place carved ivory occupies a’ considerable place, and is exquisitely done in all manner of dest The toilet articles are fas- cinatingly attractive, but so treacherous Is the ivory—or sensitive is perhaps a better word—that with no apparent cause it cracks and splits, merely affected by the changes in the atmosphere. Abroad when one has bought ivory brushes, &c., it is the latest scheme to take them to’ Paris and there have the monograms put on the backs in intaglio style. If one only knows where to go, there is one place, where a whole family 1 igh up in a house, and there work together over these beautiful things, for which they ask little compared with the shops, and furnish the ivory, too, if desired: but it is only a fav- ored few who can enter this penetralia. Attacked by a Washington Negro. A serfous cutting affray between two con- viets took place in the Lancaster county, Pa., prison on Thursday afternoon. Lewis Moore, hailing from this city, and Samuel Smith of the Welsh mountains, both col- ored, were confined in the same cell, en- gaged in carpet weaving. A dispute arose between the men, Smith accusing Moore of having informed upon him. The le passed and the struggle im- mediately commenced for a sharp knife used by the men for cutting off their warps. A terrific fight ensued, Moore finally secur- ing the weapon, which he proceeded to use on his antagonist. A long, deep gash was inflicted on Smith's face, and he received several minor cuts. By this time the jail cfficials had heard of the fight, and their presence caused a cessation of the strug. gle. Moore quietly surrendered the wea pon, and the men, who had hitherto bee: friends, were removed to different cells. 10 STOP THE PROGRESS of Consumption, you will find but one guaranteed remedy— Pierce’s Golden fedical Discovery. ‘In advanced cases, it pe Mage and 3 if you haven't delayed too long, it ‘will certainly cure.

Situated at the base of the Blue Ridge, somewhat less than sixty miles from Wash- ington, there is a thriving little village which is known as Round Hill. It is reach- ed by the Washington, Ohio and Western division of the Richmond and Danville sys- tem. There is very little in this name to indicate the true status of the railroad, since it begins at Washington and has Round Hill as its other terminal point. It was, no doubt, the original intention of its promoters that it should be a great highway of trade between this city and the west, but it was waylaid one night un- der the shadow of the Blue Ridge and has never proceeded further upon its way. It Passes through a very pretty section of the “Old Dominion,” however, and many us villages and towns are scat- tered along its path. ‘he scenery at the upper end of the road is very fine.

The detective system of the state dis- pensary at South Carolina is very likely to create trouble. The treatment given them in Sumter Thursday morning, where they were beaten and rotten-egged, has aroused the tre of Gov. Tillman, and he has opened an ordnance department for arming the state constabulary. He says that he is tired having state officials insulted and that unless it is stopped somebody will get hurt. “They won't roten-egg any more state constables,” he said. “I am going to see that they are not ill-treated. I am going to issue instructions that they should use Weapons when it is necessary.” Then Gor Tillman was asked if he had enough pistols to go the rounds and he replied: “There are a great many constables who are not doing any arresting, but there are plenty more where they come from.” He also said: “I'm going to issue onlers for the first one of*them to shoot when he is struck. I'm not going to allow state les to be made dogs of by the bar- or their followers.” = Sued by His Mothe: Mrs. Maria L. Mitchell has begun a suit against her son, Senator John L.
