Mrs. Webster was a daughter of Rear Ad- miral Davies and was born at Poole, Dor- setshire, England, in 184. In 1863 she was married tc Thomas Webster, law lecturer of Trinity College, Cambridge. She served a term as a member of the London school board in 1879. Under the pseudonyin of Ce- cil Howe, she attracted attention years ago with “Blanche Lisle and Other Poems,” some of which were so like Browning’s verse as to suggest plagiarism to some crit- ics. After her marriage, “Lesley’s Guar- dians,” a novel she had written a year or two before, was published, and Lillian Gray” appeared in 1864. From that time she dropped the pseudo- nym and afterward never used any other signature than that of Augusta Webster, publishing under that name the “Prome- theus Bound” of Aeschylus, literally trans- lated; “Dramatic Studies,” in verse; “A Wo- man’s Soul and Other Poems,” “The Medea” of Euripides, literally translated into Eng- lish verse; “Portraits,” “The Auspicious "a drama; “Yu-Pe-Yu's Lute,” a Chi- le in English verse; ‘Disgutses, drama; “The Housewife's Opinions,” “A Bock of Rhyme,” “In a Day,” a drama; “Daffodil and the Croaexaxicans” and “The Sentence,” a drama. Mrs. Webster was one of the first of Eng- lish wcmen to demand that woren should have the privilege of university examina- tions. In 1879 she offered herself a candi- date at the school board election for the Chelsea division and was returned by an everwhelming majority. She was again re- turned in 1885, but was defeated in 1888. She was also a warm acivocate of the polit- ical enfranchisement of women. ic \ p> % mi qnTy: j Sh _ You Start to clean the paints, wash the windows, or scrub the floor, put a little GOLD DUST WASHING POWDER. in the water, and see what a magical effect it has on the dirt; see how much labor it saves you ; sec how little it costs in comparison with other washing com- pounds.

Results of the Shooting at Sea Girt Yesterday—The Second Regiment of the District Was Second. ‘Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP WERTS, SEA GIRT, N. J., September 6, 1804. The big bronze horse—the thoroughbred Jersey horse for which so many teams of rifen.en have struggled, and which for three years has resided at the national cap- ital—will coatinue for a while longer to be a decorative feature in the engineer corps headquarters. The total score of the en- ginecr’s half dozen was 1,439, made up of 314 at known distence and 925 in skirmish. Close behind the winners came the second D. C., with an aggregate of 1,413, the known-distance total being 501, the skirm- ish tctal 912. Team No. 6 in the finishing order is that from the first Alaska cavalry ~an organization that has its headquarters in Washington—thé aggregate being 1,200. The eighth team was that of the first D. C., with 1,226. Extremely Warm Competition. Never since the trophy was first shot for and won by the first D. C. infantry team, in 1801, has there been such-an extremely warm competition ag closed this afternoon. Thro.gh the greater portion of yesterday teams from New Jersey, Maine, Georgia, Connecticut, Pennsyiyania, the District of Columbia and the first Alaska cavalry wrestled with annoying atmospheric condi- tions and put up the required scores at the known distances—200 and 500 yards. Today those same teams trotted up and down the skirmish range, each man_ firing forty rounds of ammunition at the inanimate things that were supposed to represent human beings, whose continued existence might he regarded as inimical to the badily welfare of the skirmishers. Skirmishing is not yet an exact science, even when the man and the gun and the cartridge are all as nearly perfect as may be, but when a strong wind sweeps across the range most of those who have gone through the exper- lence are ready to testify that there is room for all sorts of surprises, The wind was here today, and there was also a. slight sprinkle of rain, so anything like the phe- nomena} records of a year ago could not reasonably be looked for. From the time of flag-drop at the 200 yards’ firing point yesterday the engineers were the favorites, although members of the D. €. N. G. be- Neved it to be quite likely that the team of the second regiment would do very much pop aed than ever, and might even come out on top. For this belief there was aj renth; sound foundation, Capt. Bell haven ‘done his utmost to build up a winning aggrega- tlon, but unexpected weakness cut the total looked for and victory said farewell to the representatives of the second and wandered once again into the camp of the engineers. But that is not cause for sad- ness even among the regiment crowd, everyboay is rejoicing because the honors have been captured by their com- rades, even though they be of another por- tion of the command than that to which the defeated belong. Lieut.G.B. Young, the engineers’ team cap- tain, has been heartily Ke She and cheers have been exchanged with a Mberal- ity that has threatened the soundness of many throats, and the exchange continues. The victory is unquestionably a big one, for there were thirteen teams in the match, and many of them were good teams, too. Maine was quite confident of “‘get- ting there,” and Georgia and some of the Jersey teams were full of hope, bat none of the combatants were anything like equal in point of ability to either the engineers or the second regiment boys, and five of them were evidently inferior to the hastily organized team of the first_D, C. regi- ment.

Louisiana Sugar Plauters Decide to Affliate With the Repu The sugar planters’ convention in New Orleans yesterday was the most remark- able gathering in many years, and the first serious break in the democratic party in twenty years is now actually threatened. The convention declared in favor of an al- lance with the republican party on national issues, and two, and possibly three, con- gressional districts, comprising the sugar region, are endang@ed to the democrats. There were about three hundred repre- sentative men present at the convention, and nearly all of them are men of wealth, with large influence, and with power to control a considerable following. The ac- tion they have taken cannot be underesti- mated. The meeting was called to order by Rich- ard McCall, and Mr. E. N. Pugh of Ascen- sion was made chairman, John Dymond was the only speaker who strenuously op- Posed secession from the democratic party, Messrs. McCall, Pugh, Kernochan, E:sti- pinal, Ware and others advised an alliance with the republican party. They said that they had been petrayed by the democrats, d that the nly hope of protection for su- laf’ in a. Joining of hands with. the, re: ublicans. They realized the full import of breaking with the democratic party, but, feeling that the negro question was no longer an issue, and that the white race would forever govern the southern country, they sald they had reached the conclusion that self-preservation required an affiliation with a party that would give them the pro- tection necessary for the prosperity of the industry which is the backbone of the state. The committee on resolutions reported elaborate resolutions, setting forth that the white people of Louisiana and planters for many years had been loyal to the demo- cratic party through victory and - defeat, but that the state had been betrayed and a blow struck at its chief industry by that party that threatened its absolute ruin, aad that the nomination of »rotection can- didates and their election had become a ne- cessity. The resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. It was decided to meet again on the 17th of September in New Orleans, when the plans of the sugar planters will be per- fected. It was also decided to aominate a candidate in the three sugar distric:s, and to affiliate with the republicans. sos The Court of Appeals has adjourned un- til Thursday, September 20. ees: “Public Opinion.” See editorial page.—Advt.

When Capt. Joyce stepped to the plate in the first inning he was presented with an immense flofal horseshoe, inscribed “Captain.” He responded by knocking the ball high in the air. It landed just back f second base, but Right Ficider Hogan ‘ailed fo reach it, and Joyce was on second . Hasamaear took first on bails, and both men scored on Ward's triple. The bron slid home when Selbach singled to right. This was a good start, and the 2,200 spec- tators became enthusiastic. By opportune hitting and good hase running, one run ros was added in’ the third and jn the ffth. In the sixth, however, things became positively funny. Selbach led off with a triple, and scored on Cartwright’s single. Radford and Mercer went out on easy files. Scheibeck singled, which advanced Cart- wright to second, and a moment later both worked a very pretty steal. When Joyce singled to left both men scored. Joyce tallied on Hasamaear’s hit to center. Ward walted for four bails, and then took third on McGuire's bjt. Selbach was equal to the emergency, and again singled, but Mc- Guire was caught at third. Umpire Betts decided that Ward's run shouid not count. Washington got two more in the eighth, on hits by Hasamaear, Ward and McGuire. St. Louis made its only two runs in the fifth, on singles by Shugart and Peltz and nm error by Radford. Mercer had the ‘owns completely at his mercy.

The racing for the year at Sheepshead Bay track ended yesterday in a blaze of Slory. The attendance was large, and the chief interest was in the match between Domino and Clifford for $5,000. Cliffcrd was favorite by the weight of the big commis- sions on him, but Domino was public choice. When the flag fell Domino made a terrific bound, and in the first sixteenth had car- ried Clifford at such a hot pace that the four-year-old was begging for mercy, as that part of the race was run in better than six seconds. It was there that Taral, on Domino, took the measure of his rival. On to the first eighth they flew, locked like @ team, and their noses struck the in 12 2-6 seconds from the fall of the 4 Still locked together, they ran to the quar- ter, and the pole was reached in 24 2-5 scc- onds, a cracking pace. : At the three-eighths pole, which was reached in 36 3-5 seconds, Domino had a shade the better of it, and Clifford was breathing hard. Taral saw that he was safe and took Domino back a trifle, and the next eighth was run in 12 4-5 seconds. Then another eighth pole was passed in 13 1-5 seconds, and Clifford came up a bit. Taral let out a link, and away the Slack three-year-old flew, covering the next eighth in_11 3-5, making the three-quarter in 1.14 iF and taking all the heart out of Clif- ‘ord. at Sheeps- They rounded the turn into the stretch with Domjno going easy and Clifford labor- ing a length away. Simms went to the whip im the vain hope of catching his fly- ing antagonist, but the western horse was done and could do no more. “Domino wins,” the crowd shouted, and they were right, for Taral eased his mount, and came in a winrer under an easy pull in the fast time of 1.30 2-5, Never before in the history of the track was there such a wild shout of joy as Domino passed the wire a length in the lead. ’ R. L. Rose said after the race that he Was satisfied, for he had been beaten by a better horse, while Foxhall Keene sat in the club house and looked pleased over the victory of his horse. Clifford looked as if he had been in a very hard race, while Domino was as full of spirit as ever. TROTTING HORSE EEDERS. Louis Victor and Mechanicsville and Currito Win at Pimlico.

Property of Americans at Blueficids Seized by the Dictators. The Associsted Press correspondent at Bluefields, under dete of August 31, sends the following: Madriz, special commissioner, has issued @ decree setting aside the order for martial law in the cities and villages of the Atlantic ccast, to take effect on the day of the in- stallation of the municipal governments. It also orders that on the 18th of September elections shall be held in Bluefields, Pearl Lagoon and Corn Island for the formation of the respective municipalities, which shall exercise authority until the date fixed by the municipal law for the regular annuai election. This municipal govérnment, when established, will collect all taxes and li- censes of Bluefields, while the port charges will be collected for the supreme govern- tment of Nicaragua. Bluefields will be made the port of entry of the territory, and du- ties on goods will be paid in Bluetields only. it is now probably the only port of entry, for the water is so shallow on all the coast bars that no vessel can cross them. For the past twenty: four hours Gen. Caze- sas aud Minister Madriz have allowed the residents to exist in peace. Every one is waiting anxiously for the return of the Co- jumbia ‘and Mohawk from Port where they are waiting the arrival of detin- = instructions from their respectiv? coun- tries. A few days ago the two dictators, Cazezas and Madriz, committed another outrage upon Americans. The launch which steam- ed out to the bluff on the evening of July 6, with several Mosquito and Jamaican ne- ‘€tves, was seized and brought to anchor be- fore the Nicaraguan government building. This boat is the property of the Bluefields Banana Company, and on the evening of July % was seized against the orders of its owners and made use of by the Mosquitoes.
