Elfreth Watkins, who has been for a number of years past the curator of the! department of transportation at the Nation- | al Museum, has severed his connection with | that institution and leaves Washington either today or tomorrow for Chicago,where he is to take the position of head of one of | the great departments of the Columbian | Museum, the new institution of the big city by the lake. Last evening Mr. Watkins was tendered a complimentary banquet of fareweil by a number of his colleagues from | the Smithsonian and other scientific bodies | Prof. J. E. Watkins. of the city, who gathered about the board to wish him a pleasant journey and all success in his new field of usetulness. The banquet was held at Welcker’s and served the dou- ble purpose of paying a compliment to aj popular associate, sending him off to his! new home under the best auspices, and ex- | pressing the kindly feelings ente-tained for the Columbian Museum by those Who are connected with the Smithsonian here. Each speaker accented the fact that there was no | spirit of rivalry between the two, but only | the pleasantest wish for hearty| co-opera-| tion. | Prof. Thomas Wilson presided at the) banquet last evening and about him} were seated the following __ friends | and associates: Prof. Otis T.

Nearly nine years ago Mr. Watkins be- | came connected with the museum as honor- ary curator of the department of trans- portation. In 1887 he became the active curator, a position he has held ever sinte, in Chicago to arrange the exhibit of the Pennsylvania railroad at the fair, Few men, if any, have such a thorough knowl- | edge of the subject of the history of trans- | portation, as is weil proved by the exhibit | he has arranged at the National Museum, which Prof. Mason said last evening had had its beginning in a pack-mule and an Indian's skiff. When the Columbian Mu- | seum of Chicago was provided fer, as the natural and logical outcome of the fair, the trustees looked about for men wh cculd make the new institution a suc: They chose Mr. Watkins for the he the department friends advan t, while at the same time re gretting that it will take him away from ashington. ‘This feeling of pleasure, min- wn to a marked degree in the opening address of Prof. Wil son, with which he began the speechmak dof of industrial arts, and his d colleagues here are glad of his eme ing of the evening. Prior to this Mr. Gardiner G. Hpbbard, who came into the banquet room for a few moments, was speech and he paid a high tribute to Mr. Watkins’ executive ability, as particularly shown in the man- ner in which he arranged tor a congress of inventors in this city some years ago. Prof. Wilson's speech was an eloquen testimonial to the esteem in which the! guest of the evening was held by all who had worked with him, and he spoke feel- ingly of their regret at severing the ties that had bound them so pleasantly together. A Graceful Response. In replying, Mr. Watkins was deeply moved by the heartiness of the godspeeds | tendered to him. “I am deeply sensible of the compliment,” he said, “and as I look into your faces and remember the hours MANY WEsRY MOTHERS.

Phelps, M. D., LL. D., of Dartmouth College. His experience was one of the largest, his scien- tifle knowledge surpassed that of any practitioner of this generation. Prof. Phelps frst prescribed Patne’s Celery Com- pound, the remedy that gives strength to the weak, that makes the sick to be well, that gives food to the nerves, that enriches tmpoverished blood, that cures rbeumatism, kidney complaints, liver troubles and all diseases that arise from a impaired nervous system, the remedy that is iu- comparably the greatest im the world. ‘Thousands it has made well.

I think tt is the best remedy for the nerves that I ever tried, und I have used several kinds." 1 of good fellowship that we have enjoyed; sirce I cast my,lot with yours, I must con-} fess that, notwithstanding the possibility of usefulness which my new work offers, notwithstanding the fact that I am to con- tinue to retain an honorary connection with the grand old institution, it is with feeling of sincere regret that I contemplat the fact that a thousand miles will separate me from you and the other distinguished men who have taken up the work inau- gurated by Hasler, Maury, Bache, Abert, Henry and Baird, all now passed over, but whose mantles have fallen upon New- comb; Langley, Abbe, Powell, Gill, Men- denhall, Billings and a score of others, and last, but by no means least, our be- loved Dr. Goode, who has combined, as no one else ever can, the duties of the fore- mest museum administrator of his time, | with the most thorough investigations of | the naturalist and the most thorough re- searches of the historian. “These men and their colleagues have made this beautiful city of Washington the center of American scientific effort toward which the eyes of those charged with the establishment of scholastic and other sci- entific foundations always turn whenever any great work is to be inaugurated or 1 important scientific co-operation is needed. After sketching briefly the history of the new museum in Chicago and his own con- nection with it, Mr. Watkins went on to say: “The railway collections at the fair which are to remain in Chicago, together with many others illustrating the develop- ments of electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, form the nucleus of one of the three great departments of the museum, the department of industrial arts, that I have been called upon to administer. Were my chief here tonight he would give you an earnest invitation to visit the new mu- seum, the doors of which, it is hoped, will be open in a few months. I speak by au- thority when I say that it is the wish of the president and the members of the board | of trustees of the Columbian Museum that | the most cordial relations shall exist be- tween it and the great institutions with which you are connected, and I take it that your presence here tonight means more in this connection than the simple ‘good-bye’ to an associate. I feel confident from my knowledge of the men who will direct the | great work before us in Chicago,men whom as I know them better I admire more and more, that you will find them ever desir- ous to co-operate with the scientific bureaus of the government in every laudable under- taking. “Standing on the threshold of my new life | fully the responsi- | many ways from any ever presented to a | museum officer before, 1 take leave of you with the consciousness that you will sympa- thize with my shortcomings where I fall, and that you will be gratified should I suc- ceed, as God grant I may.” Prof. Goode’s Pleasant Wishes. Dr. G. Brown Goode, assistant secretary | of the Smithsonian Institution, was un- avoidably absent. He sent a letter express- ing his regret at his inability to Join his | colleagues in wishing Mr. Watkins success, | stating (hat it was a matter for congratu- lation that his name would still stand on the list of officers of the National Museum as honorary curator, und that he wished | the Columbian Museum all the success its | projectors hoped.

Skating on Artificial Ice, and the Fe Bicycling ‘ing Club. The Salle d’Armes Feminine,as it is called, which was recently opened in Paris, has been followed by the opening of a Cercle! a’Escrime des Dames, or Ladies’ Fencing Club. This institution is under the patron. Murat, Mme. la Colonelle Rousset and others. The chief professor is a woman whose husband was formerly master-at- arms in a military school. The device of the club is ‘“Ludus Pro Forma,” as the ex- ercise of fencing is calculated to develop special graces and beauties of the feminine form. In no city ts skating so generally practiced as in Paris, for the artificial ice arenas afford more opportunity for the sport than nature is inclined to provide except in Canada. These artificial ice surfaces are | five or six inches thick, very smooth and glistening, and the air inside the pavilions is pleasantly warmed with gas. French wom- en, too, are devoted to bicycle riding, and may be seen in their jaunty short skirts every day in the park riding, with or with- out a groom in attendance, according to their rank. It has been considered pertinent to criticise the French woman as given over to vanity and luxuriousness, but the more one becomes acquainted with this dainty type of femininity the more one learns to respect the Iittie knack she has of accom- plishing all that other women do so quietly and gracefully and with so little flourish of trumpets that no one knows she is doing anything atall. It is the supreme cleverness of the woman that deceives us into believing her incompetent. Feared Burial Aliv: From the Philadelphia Telegraph. ‘The testament of Mary Ann Fisher, who died a few weeks ago, admitted to probate this morning, contains many peculiar fea. tures. The decedent left property valued at about $6,000, and goes into some details rela- tive to her funeral. She had always ex- pressed a fear of being buried alive, and in order to avert such occurrence, she inserted in the instrument the following clause: “I direct that my executors cause my body to be kept at least four days after my decease, and that before my burial my death shall be assured by causing my physictan to sever the arteries in my feet, or to use such other means as may be sufficient to obviate all danger of my being buried alive. “I also direct that if my dog Topsy be living at the time of my decease she shall be humanely put to death by my physician, her body placed in a neat black-covered box, inclosed in a cedar case, and laid at my feet in_my vault. She also directed a certain portrait to be taken from a frame, rolled up, and placed in her coffin and buried with her. Finally, after giving minute directions concerging the placing of her body in the family vault, and the final disposition of the remains of herself and other occupants of the vault in case their removal became necessary at any time, the testatrix requested that her own remains be embalmed. see Burbank potatoes, 72c. bushel, page 4. | self. | trip divided up among three companion: | should picket our horses by | where | would run if | him.

The wild horse was so abso- | lutely stuck on his four-footed friend that | he would eat and drink with him and never satisfied without being in his com- pany. True, he would fly off at a tangent, but he would come to his mate, wagging his tail behind him. We picketed ail the horses excepting this one. It was between 12 ana 2 o'clock when Roaring Harry, whose turn it was to stand guard, entered | the prairie schooner and turned us all out quietly with the remark that something was up. The wild horse had run up along- side his gentle friend and was puffing anad snorting in a perfect fever of fright. ! “We reasoned that the thieves had ap- | proached the camp and run on the untamed unimal. They would conclude from this that the stock was at large, and would | most likely attempt to stampede it, With | this theory in mind we took positions along the trail which the thieves would follow should they swoop down. My perch was under an overhanging bowlder, where I could not be seen for the gloom, and from where by the faint light of the stars I could see pretty clearly all that went on on one side of the wagon. It was snowing and blowing, and otherwise unpleasant. We had been on guard this way for perhaps an hour. Everything was dead still, but for the howl or cry of some wild beast in the timber. We thought that we heard something which sounded like hoofs away up the trail. Nearer they came and more distinctly they sounded as they struck the frozen ground from which the snow had been blown away. Then the sound d. The party of horsemen had halted. We knew what was about to come, and every man took a firmer hold on his Win- chester and took good care that the ham- mer was up. Then there was a sharp clat- ter and a rush. Down the trail the thieves were dashing full tilt. A Lively Attack. “As the squadron emerged from the shadow of the pines their outlines could be seen. Bang! Pang! Whizz! Click, click! Bang! Bang! Two horses dropped and one rider bit the dust, as they say in the novel, and his steed pressed by. Others of the party rode by in a hurry. One of the horses dropped directly opposite my station. Evidently his rider was full of life and hope, for he arose on his knees, and I knew instinctively that his gun was going to his shoulder, when my trusty rifle flashed out. The blaze of my gun was the signal which located me to him. He replied as quick as thought; there was a blinding flash in my face; I felt a whiff of cold wind; something warm streamed over me; I felt dizzy; I knew that I was falling, and then all was blank. “The next day I opened my eyes and saw strange people about me.

The following satement in regard to the refusal of the Senate finance committee to grant hearings on the tariff bill has been given out by the minority members of the committee: “The minority of the finance committee are greatly surprised at the character of the statement which has been handed them and which is said to have been furnished to the press by the majority of the com- mittee in regard to their refusal to cive hearings on the tariff bill. The republtcan | members of the committee, relying on the assurances given them by the chairman during the sessions of the committee, had | Supposed that hearings would be given as a matter of course and had so informed all parties desirious of being heard. “The matter came up in committee this morning upon the request for a hearing made by one of the members in behalf of the farmers and wool growers of the Unit- ed States, who are now present in Wash- ington in large numbers for the purpo and upon the request of other members in behalf of certain cotton operatives of Fall River and numerous other parties. ‘There was no request on the part of the republi- can members for ex parte hearings nor for hearings for any special class, nor any dis- position nor desire to secure such result N WHO DRINKS A MAN RINK Water may keep perfectly healthy and happy if he is careful what kind of water he drinks.

It is the moss, which covers all the ground, except what the water runs over, such as the shallow bars along the creek. This moss is from six to eighteen inches thick, and must be removed in order that the ground may thaw out. The boys generally make a winter's job of stripping off this moss. Trimmings. From the Philadelphia Times. This is pre-eminently a day of trimmings. Tailor-made simplicity is no longer in vogue, and, if fashion and rumors of fash- jon prove true prophets, even spangles, heretofore regarded as belonging to the ballet, are to be one of the features of the coming season, both in millinery and dress trimmings. Black spangles, gold spangles and dull red and green spangles will jre- vail. Spangles covering entire surfaces, spangles in rows, spangles put on in pat- terns and spangles outlining the design of the material.
