The man who seems most pleased about the recent wonderful record of the cruiser Minneapolis is Senator Washburn of Min- nesota. Mr. Washburn spent many hours in the Navy Department when the now fa- mous cruiser was known in naval circles as “Jack the Ripper” trying to have the name of his city given it. He finally succeeded, and at one time it was contemplated that the twin cruiser, now the Columbia, should be called St. Paul, but the Secretary of the Navy felt that it would be more than one state was entitled to. Senator Peffer has accepted an invitation to deliver an address at the twentieth old soldiers’ reunion, to be held at Caldwell Ohfo, on the 17th, 18th and 19th of August.

DENMARK GIVEN SATISFACTION, German Official Di janed@ for Expel- ling Dani Actors, COPENHAGEN, July 18—The Danish government has obtained satisfaction for the expulsion from Schleswig, Germany, of the eight Danish players belonging to the Royal Theater of Copenhagen. The players were arrested at Hadersleben, Schleswig, early in June, under instruc- ticns from the burgomaster of that place, who claimed that there was a prohibition against the use of the Danish language in Schleswig. The actors and actresses were then ordered to leave Schleswig, and went to Ribe, across the frontier, in Denmark, where they received an ovation when the facts of their expulsion became known. The Danish government called the atten- tion of the government of Germany to this action upon the part of the burgomaster of Hadersleben, and after the matter had been inquired into the official mentioned was dismissed in disgrace. it appears that there had been a prohibi- tion against the use of the Danish language in Schleswig, but the order had been with: ¢rawn, and the burgomaster should have been aware of this.

She was towed to sea, and landed her pilot on the station boat on the bar shortly before noon. All went well until 6:20 p.m., when one of the crew noticed smoke issuing from the forward deck. The captain was called for- ward at once to investigate the cause, and on opening the forehatch large volumes of smoke poured®from below. The hatch was dmmediately battened down again, and crders given to lower the life boats and abandon the ship, which was apparently doomed to destruction.

TO PHOTOGRAPH METEORS. Interesting Experiments to Be Made at Yale, CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 18.—A new as- tronomical instrument, termed a sextuple Photographic telescope, has just been com- pleted by Warner & Swazey of this city, 1d is about to be shipped to New Haven, Conn. It will be placed in one of the Yale observatories, and will begin its picture taking with the appearance of the August metecric displays. In certain respects it stands unique among photographic tele- scopes, and may revclutionize the present system. It has six cemeras instead of one, and together they cever a field in the sky equal to that which would be occupied by 2,400 full moons. By its use on the meteors the astronomers of Yale expect to develop new facts relating to their height. They will place single telescopes at distances of two miles from the sextuple instrument, and by means of electrical connections will photograph simultanecusly. The plates wil then be compared and,calculations will be made, with a view to establishing the height of the meteors. — LOUIS’ UNION STATION. sT. ‘The New Structufe té Be Formally Opened September 1. station, which has the largest train service of any in the world, will be fo-mally opened cn September 1. ‘Fhis date was decided upon at a special meeting of the board of directors of the St.” Louis Terminal Ratl- way Association.

LOUIS, Mo., July 18,--A slight shock of earthquake was ‘felt cin this vicinity about 7:10 a. m. today. The shock was not so roticeable in the gity proper, but in the suburbs houses were so shaken that pic- tures rattled on the walls, chairs rocked and dishes on tabies moved. In no case so far reported was the shock sufficient to do Teny damage. MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 18.—Three dis- tinct shocks of earthquake were felt here at 6:30 o'clock this morning. The vibra- tions were from north to south. ‘The shocks came at 6:37 a.m., local time, and lasted about four seconds. They were felt throughout the surrounding territory in west Tennessee.

Carnahan’s Request to Knigts of Pythias. ——_._—_ ROOMS FOR THE VISITORS 5 eat Se Probably Over 100,000 Strangers Will Be Here. COMMITTEES ee eee MEET Pythianism goes merrily forward. The mest important thing in these circies today is the latest order of Gen. Carnahan, com- mwander-in-chief of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. The official number of the crder in general orders is 19, and it sets forth that: “Since the issuing of general orders No. 16, the committee having in charge the af- fairs of the encampment of the Uniform Rank in Washingtov has been very ma- terlally changed. The business men of Washingion city heve joined with the Knights of Pythias of the District of Co- lumbia in the effort to make our assembling in the city cf Washington for the week be- ginning August 26, 1894, a grand success. “It is the request of the citizens’ executive committee that all communications upon the subject of the Knights of Pythias encamp- ment be addressed to the ‘Citizens’ Execu- tive Committee, through its Chairman or Secretary.’ Ali officers of the Uniform Renk will faithfully observe this request of the executive committee, and address your cecmmunications in regard to any and all matters connected with the encampment to the citizens’ executive committee, Knights of Pythias encampment, and direct the en- velope either to Chapin Brown, chairman, 823 4 1-2 street, or to Geo. E. Emmons, sec- retary, 1405 G street northwest, Washington, D. C., and these officials will refer the mat- ter to the proper committees. “The major general wishes to impress upon every officer of the rank the impor- tance of making known to this committee immediately the 1ollowing matters: “Brigade and regimental commanders who have not engaged the horses for their use on the days of the parade and review, A’ 28 and 2, should notify the committee as to the number required. You should take your own horse equipments with you. “All officers desiring cots for the use of themselves and their commands should notify the committee as to the number re- qvired. “All divisions or commands that desire to mess themselves should notify the commit- tee in order that mess tents may be ar- ranged for. If any division has its own mess tent notice should at once be given, so that a location can be assigned for it. “All divisions that desire to secure meals for their members should notify the com- mittee as to the number of men for whom meals are desired, in order that places near to the camp or in a general mess hall may be at once secured. “If you desire rooms, lodging or meals for ladies and your friends, notify the com- mittee, stating the number of persons, Naming whether they are ladies or gentle- eD, i defining the kind lity of en- ST. LOUIS, Mo., J@ly 18—The new Union’ qe cen ~3 tgs go aa rtainment desired. “There should be no delay in carrying out the requirements of the foregoing para- graph. Those who delay these important n.atters until they reach Washington must not be surprised, nor should they complain if by their own negligence they should not be properly provided for. If the directioas erein named are observed promptly and your wants are made known to the execu- tive committee, the work of the committee will be lightened, your wants will be sup- Lares and there will be no cause for com- piaint. Completing Arrangements. This circular has been sent to each of the 1,400 divisions of the rank in the United States and will produce the desired result. The circular also gives the names and ac- dresses of the officers of the executive com- mittee and of the chairmen of the subcom- mittees. Mr. Percy G. Smith, secretary to the Pythian public comfort committee, told The Star man this afternoon that accommoda- tions had been registered by the house- wives of Washington for slightly over 12,000 people. Applications for roomers were com- ing’in well, but tt would be better if they should come in faster. It is officially known that 15,000 knights are coming to Washing- ton in uniform and that there will be five people to each member of the uniform rank is considered a very low estimate, therefore it 1s already known that at least 100,000 peo- le on the-march, or soon will be, to ‘ashington. It behooves the citizens of Washington,. say members of the public comfort committee, to be up and doing, that the great throngs of guests may be properly housed. That 15,000 should have already, and in spite of so many .discouragements, notified Gen. Carnahan of an intention of visiting Washington may be taken as an in- ication of what a mighty outpouring of People there is to be in August. The sub- committee on information, of which Mr. Medford is the chairman, met last night at the Warder building. The result of the meeting of the citizens’ executive commit- tee was stated by the chairman. Routine business was transacted and it was deter- mined to properly decorate and equip the booths, which, it is proposed, shall be erected at the railroad stations.

From the London Snectator. Two of the oldest and oddest forms of popular barometers are the leech in a bot- tie and a frog on a ladder. Mr. Richard Inwards has seen an old Spanish drawing of nine positions of the leech, with verses ithe Frog describing its attilude and behavior before | different kinds of weather. Dr. weather of Whitby contrived an ap by which one of twelve leeches co bottles rang a bell when a “t expectel. When leeches were kept in ever: chemist’s shop, and often in private hou their behavior was the subject of consta observation; and it was generaily notic that in still weather, dry or wet, they re- mained at bottom, but rose, o: much as twenty-four hours in advance, be- fore a change; and, in case of a thunder- storm, rose very quickly to the surface, scending when it was post.

The belief that bees will not fly before a shower is prob- ably true, and is the rational origin of the banging of trays and iron pots with a door key when bees are going to swarm. The in- sects are supposed to take this for thunder, and so settle close at hand, instead of swarming at a distance. Squirting water on them with a garden syringe often mak. them settle at once. But no such ingenious process of rationalizing can be found for the belief that if the insect inside cuckoo- spit lies head upward, the summer will be dry, though the increased worrying of horses by flies before rain, and the rise of Me de- in Germany mple appsrat a frog, and a the gossamer before fine weather, are abundantly confirmed by observation.” ——— --e0ee Breeches, Trousers and Pantatoo: The words breeches, trousers and }an- taloons are now used interchangeably, but originally the signification was quite differ- ent. Pantaloons were at first nothing but long stockings, worn in Italy as a sort of religious habit by the devotees of St. Pan- taloon. Breeches originally reached from the waist half way to the knee, and finally to the knees, where they were fastened with a buckle. Trousers are the present style of leg gear, a combination of the former two. oo. Mar. Satolli sent a letter to the president of the Catholic Summer School at Platts- burg, N.
