The Natio: Body's Annual Session Opened in Savannah. ‘The national farmers’ congress began its thirteenth annual meeting yesterday at Savannah. Very few delegates had arrived, and when the congress assembled less than fifty were present. President Smith of Kan- Sas was absent and Vice President D. G. Purse of Georgia presided. Mr. P. W. Mel- drim of Savannah, on behalf of the gover- nor of Georgia, welcomed the delegates to the state. Judge C. B. Rounds of Maine responded to the welcome. The address of welcome in behalf of the State Agricultural Society was made by J. T. Wade of Georgia, in the absence of President Waddell. Col 1 Needhum, president of the New "England Agricultural Society, re sponded to the welcome by the agricultur- ists. In his address Col. Needham toucned upon various matters, one of which was the educational question. The great un- derlying principie of agriculture is knowl- edge, is the public schools. The great un- derlying principle of civilization is universal | education. It is the individuality of our | People that maintains the civilizations of the American government. They talk about restiess people. We are restless and through that spirit we have been able to populate and dominate this country. It is the rest- lessness of this people that has given us all our enterprise. It is that has given them better homes, better schools and better op- porturities than their fathers had. Col. Needham spoke of the fact that the agriculturist was one person who never accepted a free pass from a railroad. He said all they wanted from a railroad was the lowest rates they could give consistent with a fair profit for the owner, and a chance to call on them for damage in cases of necessity. The mayor of Savannah welcomed the delegates to the city. B. F. Clayton, sec- retary of the congress, in his response out- lined the work before it. The roll was called and the following states were found to have delegates in ai tendance: Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Illi- nois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusefts, Michigan, Mississippi, Kansas, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsyl- vania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. Secretary Clayton moved that all the del- egates on the lst sent by the governors of the different states and also those hold- ing proxies be entitled to seats, in order to fill out the lists from some of the states if there were any such persons or delegates present. The motion was carried. ———_-+ e+ ___ MISFORTUNE OF THE FAMILY. MARTIN Savings of Many Years Drawn From the Bank and Lost in a Street Car. From the Chicago Herald. That misfortunes never come singly has been very forcibly impressed upon the fam- ily of William Martin, who occupy a little cottage at 365 Glenwood avenue, during the last three days. For three months the hus- band, who is a tailor, has been unable to secure employment. The little ready cash he had at hand was spent and the inclemen- cy of the weather, together with the need of new clothing for the children, made it nec- essary to get more money. William and Fannie Martin were married fifteen years ago. Since then they had succeeded in sav- ing $415. This was invested in the Phoenix Building and Loan Association. After a consultation between husband and wife It was decided that their savings were not to be touched until it was absolutely necessary. Six weeks ago they borrowed a small sum from a friend to meet urgent di mands. They thought that with the ap- proach of the holidays the husband would secure employment and that they would be enabled to repay the loan and leave their savings intact. But their hopes were biast- ed. Although the husband is a first-class workman, known to the craft in Chicago, he failed to secure an hour's employment after having looked from morn to night days in succession. In this strait it was at last decided that, as want was staring them in the face, they would take their savings out of the building and loan association. rs. Martin went to the office of the as- soclation Monday afternoon and drew out the $415. She was given four bills of $100 each, and three of $5 each. After she had carefully counted the money several times she placed it in a pocketbook and started home, She rode in a Wells street car to Chicago avenue. Before getting in a west- bound car at that place she made certain that the pocketbook was still in her pocket. The car-was crowded with persons going home from work, and she found it neces- sary to stand up all the way. After she alighted from the car she discovered that the pocketbook was gone. The car was searched, but the missing money could not be found. Mrs. Martin then found that there was a hole in the bottom of her pock- et. However, she is not certain whether the pocketbook slipped out through this hole or was stolen. The corner at Chicago avenue and Wells street has long been known to the police as the haunt of pickpockets, who rob persons in the crowded cars, ———__ +e A LOATHSOME SPOT. The Sacred Crocodiles Exhibited in the Nugger Tank of Kurachi. Ffom Chambers’ Journal. One of the innumerable curious sights of India is the Nuggar tank of Kurachi. In former times the crocodiles which inhabit it roamed the neighborhood at their will, seeking whom they might devour, but so great were their depredations that the au- thorities were forced to build a wall around their haunt. This is a swamp, caused by hot springs, the medicinal virtues of which have been known froth early times and are attributed to the sanctity of a Mohammedan whose tomb is close by and to whom the crocodiles are sacred. The tank, as it is called, is about 150 yards long ‘by about half that distance in breadth. In this space one observer counted over 200 reptiles, from eight to fifteen feet long, and smaller ones innumerable. They are so tame, in a sense, that it is necessary to poke them with a stick before they will move. Buffaloes are always standing in the water and are not — but any other animal is instantly killed. “The whole appearance of the place, says one writer, “with its green, slimy, stagnant water and so many of these huge uncouth monsters moving sluggishly about, is disgusting in the extreme, and it will long be remembered by me as the most loathsome spot I ever beheld.” DEDICATED TO ATHLETICS. The New House of the Washington Ath- letic Club, A Fine Building That Has Risen on South Capitol Street—The Plucky Club That Erected It. Those who heard, not quite two months 4g0, of the incorporation of the Washington Athletic Club in South Washington, in very few cases knew just what it meant, and if they are interested in the growth of ath- letics in the city would be repaid for a visit to that quarter. It would surprise them to find out what was going on there. They would find that a new athletic club had been started, having a five-story brick club house on South Capitol street, between N and O streets southwest, with as finely an equipped gymnasium as any in the city. They would find that after untold attempts and failures, an organization had been at last formed in that locality, where the need had been so long felt, that was actually go- ing to go. . The Clab House. The club house of the Washington Ath- letic Club is a large, commodious brick building of five stories, with a frontage on | South Capitol street of about fifty feet, and running half way back through the block. On the ground floor are two large, well- lighted rooms in front, one of which is rent- ed by the South Washington Citizens’ Asso- ciation, while the other is to be utilized as a barber shop. Back of these is a large room in which is a splendid bowling alley | and plenty of room for other features yet | to be:added. The front rooms in the floor above are furnished as parlors with a Piano and other necessary aquisitions, with a reading room adjoining, where a circulat- ing library is to be established as soon as possible. The gymnasium occupying the rear portion of this and the next floor is all that Could be desired. It contains ladders, swinging rings, sets of dumb bells and In- dian clubs, parallel and horizontal bars, and all manner of apparatus to the value of over $1,800, and the gallery running around ciose to the walls is to be turned into a foot track. Twenty-seven course will measure ex: A port- able stage may be erected in the rear of the gymnasium floor, and the room thus be adapted to entertainments or bails. On the top floors are office rooms, baths, store rooms and the like. The interior fin- ishings of the building and the basement are not yet quite completed, but the work is quickly going on. The Clab. The formation of the Washington Athiet- ic Club was the cherished scheme of three or four of the residents of that section for a long time, who at last mustered courage to organize and call for members, Sixteen responded, and in a week another call was made, this time the ranks swelling to twen- ty-two. Thus it grew and prospered, and finally, on October 27, it was incorporated, the stock which was issued being promptly bought up. The cost of the club house was $22,000, of which $10,000 was secured by a lcan and the rest raised by the members. The club now numbers 106 persons in good standing, and the list is growing dally. Saturday has been set aside for the boys as a day when they can have things pretty much all to themselves, and there will also be a day for the ladies, when they can come there to play and sing. ‘The members of the club have already made an enviabie reputation for themseives. In bowling they have shown up in first-class shape, many good players having been found among them, and a number of them are very clev- er with the gloves. About $100 was cleared by the entertain- ment and hop given at the club house on Thanksgiving night, on account of the ljarge attendance, although the affair was not intended as a money making scheme by any means. Another entertainment and ball will be given on New Year night, and later in the winter or early spring a fair will be ar- ranged for, by which the club expects to reap something of a harvest. The officers of this new and plucky club, which has got on a firm footing in such a short time, are deserving of much credit for their efforts, as is each member for his personal interest in the success of the or- ganization. The officers are: W! Rich- ard, president; Henry Storey, vice presi- dent; Noble Richards, secretary; George A. Martin, financial secretary, and Austin S. Franklin, treasurer. ee PRENDERGAST’S TRIAL. A Jury Secured and a Speedy Result Expected. A jury to try Patrick Eugene Prendergast for the murder of Carter Harrigon at Chi- cago, was secured yesterday afternoon, after four days’ work. The twelfth man accepted was W. F. White. He was the 207th man examined, and when he was ad- ded to the number chosen and the jury was complete an adjournment Woe taken until 10 o'clock this morning. Seven of the jurymen are native Amer- icans, two Germans, one French and one Scot. There was general comment when the jury was secured upon the mgh ciuss of tne men who are to pass upon tne ques- tion ol frendergast’s sanity, tor that is really the question to be decided, the de- tense having repeatedly stated auring tae search for tne jurors that the facts of the homicide would be admitted as set forth tn the indictment and their enure defense would be on the piea of insanity. The jury- men are ail Chicagoans, witn weti-estab- lished places in the business life of the city. it will take a very snort time to introduce ali the evidence to be used in the case out- side of the question of sanity. From the outlook it will not require very long to in- troduce the expert testimony for tae state on account of the Jack of an appropriation. A speedy trial is anticipated. ——_—_+e-+ Gov. Lewelling the Tramps’ Friend. Gov. Lewelling of Kansas is in receipt of scores of letters indorsing his order not to arrest tramps or homeless wanderers on the streets, and he regards it as the biggest stroke made since his inauguration. He says it solidifies the labor vote to the peo- ple’s party. Recently he received a letter from ‘vangelist Sam Small. Small say “li Was a noble and brave act of com- passion, for which you must feel that you nave the good opinion of humane men and the always heipful Christ. Thomas A. Kempis, in his celebrated ‘Imitation of christ,” tells us He is truly great that is great in charity. May Goa bess you and His spirit guide you in all your public and private life.” Other letters of similar import came from ali quarters of the globe. ——eoe——___—_ Insect Engineering. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The greatest bridge builder in the world is the spider. There is a point on the Mer- amec river, not far from the Missouri Pa- cific bridge, where a large spider made a bridge clear across, a distance of over 2W) feet. He first sent out a flyer, a sort of kite string, which was carried across the stream by the breeze and lodged in a tree opposite. It was then braced by guys to other branches, and thus fifty feet above the water was a perfect suspension bridge. In comparison with this insect work the | Niagara and Brooklyn bridges are trifling. ——_+e-+- ______ Gloomy Forebodings. From Jexas Sittings. “Velvet will be worn as much as ever titis winter,” said the wife of a prominent New York journalist, who was reading a fashion journal. “Yes, Iam afraid the velvet there is left | on the collar of my last winter's overcoat will be more worn than ever before the robins nest again,” was the pensive reply of the molder of public opinion. Sasi Mati tae Chinese and Cockroaches. From the Frederick Citizen. One of the strangest superstitions of Chinamen is the awe with which they re- gard the cockroach. John holds the ugiy | black pest as something sacred, claiming that it is specially favored by the gods and a particular favorite of the great Joss. The most unfortunate mishap that can befall a Chinaman is to step on a cockroach. In- stantly visions of terrible disasters and ca- lamitics arise before him. In some instances the superstition has been known to prey so on the minds of the Celestials as to drive them insane. As a result of this state of affairs, Chinatown is overrun with cock- roaches, and a Chinaman would as soon think of killing himself as of killing one of them. POINTS FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS. ‘Where to Go and What Will Be Founa A great many people are engaged in what is known as Christmas shopping and a many more have something to in same line. Anything that can ten § i Bad teeth and a disagreeable breath do not rank among the personal attractions. | Persons who use Eau Celestine,which is sold only at W. 8. Thompson's, 703 15th street, are not thus afflicted, and when it is con- sidered that a whole bottle costs only 25 cents it is evident that sweet breath and handsome teeth are not alone to the rich. Slippers are not alone for the boudoir, as a visit to the establishment of Hoover & Snyder, 1217 Pennsylvania avenue, where they have a fine line of novelty slippers, | will demonstrate. Some of the new designs in patent leathers, French kid, bronze, kid, suede and evening slippers In all are as fetching and pretty as can be, and they would make capital presents.

The ladies generally want a card case, or a book, and the gentlemen are much in the same Ax. Just in time then comes the announcement from Topham, the leather goods man, 1231 Penn- sylvania avenue, that he has a manufactur- ers’ sample line of strictly high grade goods and is offering them from 20 to 30 per cent Jess than the regular prices. Sweetmeats and Christmas are firm, fast friends. Nothing can shake this old asso- ¢iation, stronger than the attachment of Damon for Pythis Buckingham knows about it better than most folks.

There ai2 so many varieties and qualities | of this most useful article that a good stock jis sure to be appreciated by -he Christmas buyer.

Go and see. The hard times this year are compelling |many people to confine their Christmas shopping to the plainer walks of everyday life that are lined with the practical facts of existence. Flour is perhaps the most needful article of today. Wm. M. Galt & avenue is a mecca for the hungry, say that flour, especially their Ceres flour, ts the key that unlocks the secret door of good bread making. There cun easily be less acceptable gifts this year than @ bar- | rel of this glorious product of Gait will give you figures on it. stock of shoes is*being offered at the very lowest rates consistent with bare business | existence. Dancing pumps are popular bits of foot gear during these gay times, and are to be found here most reasonable in price and excellent in quality. There is a holiday sale going on at the Monumental, 439 F street, where the hunt- ers for bargains and for excellent goods— | they are not always synonymous—are find- ing daily some mines of richness that are |mot exceeded anywhere. Kid gloves are | being sold at one-half the former prices, | and holiday umbrellas are being offered at | prices that stagger those who have traveling in hopeless search for just jright thing. There is such a large that the shelves and counters are nlled space must be secured for the elbow | that is needed when the lest rush So that those who buy now are (reap the benefit. Think of beautiful coats and closks for ladies reduced from $5 to YS cents! It is | enough to startle the most credulous. Yet |such a cut has been made at 1022 7th street, and not only in blacks, but in all other branches of a stock that is designed to fit out any with warm, com- | fortable and stylish clothing. Heavy beaver | newmarkets are going at $3, that | sold at $12. This has caused a rush to this | place, and it is the part of wisdom to go as early as possible to get hold of some of | the fine goods before the stock has been picked over. It is a special stock that been received lately, and is being sold at just one-fourth its value. The Piano Exchange Store.at 913 Pennsyl- \vonia avenue, is the place to visit to find | great bargains and fine stock. Just now is an especially good time to go there, for the stock is better than eve:, and the prices and terms are really suitable to any grade of means. | F.
