A cablegram received in Baltimore yes- terday by Mr. George May announced the death of his brother, Mr. Frederick May, at Ryde, Isle of Wight. Mr. Frederick May was forty-six years old. He was a son of Congressman Henry May. He was a surgeon and served in the Franco-Prussian war, being attached to the Anglo-Ameri- can’ ambulance corps on the side of the French. He married Miss Cecilia Coleman of San Francisco and they lived in this city for a number of years. Accompanied by his wife, mother and youngest sister, Miss Lily, Mr. May left for Europe last April, and they were with him when he died." He had been suffering with cancer of the throat, and his death was not un- éxpected. Mr. May had ample means. He was a member of the Metropolitan Club of this city, the Union Club of New York and the Maryland Club of Balymore. os Irving Park Camp. ‘The inclemency of the weather at Irving Park yesterday did not abate the profound interest which is being manifested in the spiritual services held from day to "ay. Last night a revival'broke out and four persons professed conversion and many penitents were at the altar. The services are being well attended. The singing and praying bands of Baltimore and Muirkirk, Md., are doing earnest work. The young Wimsatt & Uh- people’s meetings are interesting and doing good among the young folks. Miss E. A. Brown of Annapolis, Md., is the accomplished organist and also beau- tiful songstress.

For Home BR: The citizens’ home rule committee met Jast night at 338 Indiana avenue. President A. E. Redstone filled the chair. A resolu- tion by Mr. Alva Udell that the government should recede Judiciary Square to the Dis- trict of Columbia stirred up « lively dis- cussion. Mr. J. H. Crane said that the restoration of this property to the District would be simply restoring stolen goods. Messrs. Udell, Loughran, Augustein, Tay- lor and Bayne were chosen a committee on finance. The committee will meet again on Monday night. It is proposed to hold a constitutional convention on October 10. ——— Suing a Mutual Aid Society. Joseph Auerbach has, by Mr. G. W.

Albaugh’s.—Manager Albaugh announces the appearance of the successful minstrel farce-comedy “Tuxedo” at the Grand Opera House next week, the opening of this pop- ular house. Tuxedo is prettily staged, has a lavish display of bright costumes for the young women in the cast and neat and handsome scenery to set them off. Its success last season warrants the claim made by its promoters to unequaled ex- cellence in the way of both fun and music, Miss Ida Fitzhugh, a strong clear voiced soprano; Miss May’ Mountford, a contralto of good quality; W. H. Thompson, a good baritone; Fred ‘Oakland, the sweet voiced tenor bailadist, and J. B. Martin, the basso, form a coterie of vocalists hard to beat. There is no interlocutor of the convention- at type, no end men of the old style, but the comedians introduce their witticisms in a natural and clever manner. Hughey Dougherty, Burt Shepard, Ed. Marble, Arthur Rigby, G. W. Dukeland (‘slim Jim"), Chas. Cuyer and J. Royer West constitute the comedy part of Tuxedo; while Bonnie Goodwin, Alice Montague, Tillie Haines and the French dancers con- tribute much to the entertainment. Tuxedo has been rewritten since its last appear- ance in this city. National Theater.—Thomas Q.«Seabrooke and his company in the laughable comic opera “The Isle of Champagne” will be the attraction at the National Theater next week. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—For next week at Harris’ Theater the romantic comedy- drama “New Mexico” is announced with Theresa Newcomb as the star. The play has met with favor wherever produced, be- ing a happy combination of humor and pathos. The plot is strong and many sen- sational incidents are introduced.’ Miss Newcomb is a clever portrayer of boy’ roles and gives a dashing, breezy imper- sonation of a typical border hero. The sup- porting company includes many excellent peeple and several first-class specialists. As an additional attraction the manage- ment have secured Little Miss Columbia, @ novelty danseuse, and the boy soprano Francis DuBois, whose rendition of popu- Jar ballads and classical music has attract- ed considerable notice from musical critics. Kernan’s Lyceum ‘Theater.—Flynn & Sheridan's City Sports Co., the attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week, Imcludes well-known variety artists and burlesque queens, among whom may be mentioned Matt Flynn, the comedian, and Mille.

Among the features of the burlesque, which will be handsomely staged and in- telligentiy interpreted, is the grand ballet under the direction of Sohlke, the famous Spanish maitre de ballet. Miss Clara Beck- with, the natatress, will make her farewell appearance tonight. The Lawn Fete.—Owing to the inclement weather of the past week, and at the re- quest of many societies the lawn party and bazaar at Gonzaga College campus will be continued all of next week. —— EXCURSIONS.

Esputa’s fine orchestra will render continuous concerts. P. O. Clerks’ Excursion.—The clerks of the city post office are hustling for thelr excursion, which takes place Tuesday next.

A Brief Exsay in Which the Question ia Not Anawered. From the London Woman. As a woman, and I trust a brave one, a lover of animals and a student of natural history, I ask the vexed question in all seriousness. Why are women afraid of mice? Why should the sight (I had almost written the name) of a tiny, harmless, graceful little creature strike terror in to the stoutest hearts that beat in feminine breasts? Echo answers, “Why?” The fear of mice is a hereditary curse, an inherited weakness, a fatal foe, which it is useless to combat, a foolish dread of which we ought to feel heartily “ashamed, and yet it is a real and a formidable terror. It is never assumed. It may be exaggerated by a fit of hysterics, or a succession of piercing screams, but the genuine peur a faire fre- mir is there all the same—and why? I remember once reading a story about a coterie of strong-minded women who gave a series of lectures upon female virtues in mn old country town assembly room. One of thelr number was chosen to deliver the lecture on valor and selected for her sub- ject the history of Joan of Arc. But when the evening arrived and she was discours- ing upon the valor of her sex in general @ mouse ran across the platform and the lecturer and her strong-minded sisters Jumped on to their chairs, clutching their petticoats in a manner not altogether pic- turesque. But I maintain that the fear of mice has nothing whatever to do with the lack of real bravery and that Joan of Arc would probably have clutched her petti- coats in precisely the same manner. A mouse in the chamber of Marat would, I believe, have deterred Charlotte Corday from her dread purpose, and the tall of one popping opportunely from the carving of Tuillia’s chariot would have prevented her from driving over her father’s corpse, and I could cite many instances in which mice might have changed the history of the world. Who can doubt that Cleopatra and the other swarthy Egyptian beauties held the sacred cat in special veneration on ac- count of the part he played in ridding them of their pet aversion? Every one knows that if a cat has a weakness it is for a plump, well-matured mouse, and puss has, Perhaps, for this reason earned the affec- tions, because the gratitude, of our sex. The story of a prisoner who was cheered in captivity by a mouse is familiar to us all—but the prisoner was a man. Equally familiar is the fable of the grateful mouse which gnawed the net, but again—the pris- oner is sala to have been a lion, not a ones. I believe there is mutual antipathy between them. Most women have experienced the sensa- tion, You are sitting alone reading, play- ing, writing, painting or working.

You drop your book, your music, your brush, your needle, whatever it may be, but you make no other sound. You feel your blood freeze and your Imbs slowly paralyze, your heart stops beating, your breath ceases, a cold chill creeps over you. In your imagination you feel the soft touch of an army of mice running races over your face and hands and making nests in your back hair. You start to your feet * * * ‘and then * © well, women take these things so differently. Are women afraid of mice simply be- cause it is born in them? There is no rea- son why we should be afraid of them, but the fact remains that we are and I have Jong since resigned myself to the fact as an evil for which there is no remedy. ————+0+ HE GOT THE HAIR. The Getting of a Wig Was a Prere- auisite to Marriage. From the St. Louts Republic. “T’ve called to get that wig I ordered last June,” sald Frank Schmidt, a rustic-look- ing individual, to the lady clerk at Elms’ hair store. “Here's the receipt for the $2.50 deposit I made on it,” said he, as the young lady handed over the wig for the rustic’s inspection. Mr. Schmidt immediately pull- ed off his hat and revealed a head wonder- fully conspicuous for its lack of locks, and proceeded to try on the wig before the glass. “By gum,” sald he, “Mary won't know me, and won't she be surprised! Yes," said Schmidt to an Inquiry of the clerk, who was amusing herself watching the antics of the man as he paced to and fro before the glass, “I was to have been married last June,’ but Mary she went plumb back on me ‘cause another feiler in our neighborhood what had plenty of ha’r on his head wanted to marry her, but she sald she would give me till September 1 to git ha'r on my head somehow and if 1 succeeded we would get married all right, ‘cause she liked me better than the feller with ha'r anyhow. Gosh! that’s the hand- somest wig I ever did see,” said he with re- newed emphasis. “Just wait a minit till I call Aunt Jennings’ boy Charley in to see how it looks.” Mr. Schmidt proceeded toward the door, hat in hand and wig on head, while the lady clerk turned to wait on another cus- tomer. He stepped out of the door and dis- appeared in the crowd at Union Market. Five minutes later his departure was no- ticed and a policeman called, but the man and $20 wig were gone. ——_——cee.

Various Prescriptions and many remedies were furnished, being afterward treated by many physicians, and all to no avail. I had lost all hope of ever being cured, and concluded that I was disfigured for Ufe. A friend persuaded me to give the CUTI- CURA REMEDIES a trial, which I did im this way: Taking the CUTICURA RESOLVENT two teaspoousful after euch meal, bathed the effected party in warm water with CUTICURA SOAP and applied the CUTICURA freely until the crusts Were all removed.

In many of the so-called cash stores you are annoyed by the wailings of “hard times,” “a stringent money market,” “we can't get discounts at the banks,” “a dollar in hand is as big as a cart wheel,” “we are sacrificing everything,” “we are all but giving | things “away,” “we are losing money,” “now is the time to buy,” “we are selling 20 per cent below cost,” “we must have money.” Do you hear JOHN RUDDEN putting up any of these pleas? He sells Furniture, &c., on “Time” Pay- ments at “Bottom” Prices, and just as reg- ularly as the days dawn his patrons walk in, pay a little on this and something on that and order the other thing needful. ‘The condition that confronted the country during the month of August demonstrated the wisdom of RUDDEN’S system of con- ducting business. The magic line— “Time” Payments—“Bottom” Prices— Tells it all. He suceeds; others fail. Here are a few sample prices: Oak Bed Room Suttes. Trott Can Serve You.
