At all times, and under all conditions, Wastington is Interesting, but at this time of year, when the reign of a genuine In- dian summer {s absolute—when, Indeed, It woulé seem as though the buds hidden in the trees were wondering whether it might not be a good idea to trust themselves in the open—so balmy, so seductively charm- ing, is the atmosphere—the national cap- ital is the place of all places to visit and enjoy. Washington is not only a city of mag- nificent distances, but of architectural beauty. Its public buildings are a delight to every well-ordered eye. There ts no similarity of design, no cast-iron mold, no sameness in purpose. Aside from the con- temporaneous human interest which at- taches to them because of their official character, they are distinctly entertaining and instructive to the stranger and the in- telligent observer. The architecture is of varied nature, every modern convenience being supplied, and every novel device for the assurance of comfort and easy trans- action of mammoth affairs certain to be found. Then the drives in and about the capital are enjoyable. Thanks to the much- censured, belabored and criticised Boss Shepherd, the pavements are smooth, as- phalt being the overlying composition along miles upon miles upon miles. The adjacent country ts historically tn- teresting, as well as a very feast of rolling beauty to the eye. Readers of today-are apt to think of Washington and its ad- jacencies in connection with Lee, Fairfax Court House, Beauregard, Bull Run, Alex- andria and Col. Ellsworth. Intelligent dis- cussers of events, however, go back to the revolutionary times, to the great events which brought the Father of His Country to the front, and gave his name to the cap- ital of the nation, and endeared the mem- ory of his friend, the patriot Lee, to every admirer of mental, moral and’ physical courage. Some of the most charming drives in the world are within a radtus of fifteen miles from the White House, and along them are cemeteries of universal in- terest, public institutions of renown, acad- emies and colleges, and a delightful rural face dotted by historic memories and punctuated by localities whose very names =. suggestive of incidents worth remem- ing. Some Valuable Scissors. From London Society. A remarkable present has just been made to the kaiser—namely, a pair of scissors, but scissors so exquisite as are seldom seen, and valued at £80. The giver, a steel merchant at Sohlingen (where all the best German steel comes from), has had the scissors—manufactured, of course, out of finest steel—engraved with a portrait of the kaiser, with historic buildings and oth- er things; the engraving alone took a prac- ticed worker five years to complete. H's majesty was very pleased with the strange gift, and expressed his thanks. The Kal- serin Augusta once had a similar present made to her, which is exposed to view in the palace, only in this case the value of the scissors is estimated at exactly double. ——_—_ e+. ____ A telephone line between Berlin and Vien- na will be formally opened today.

SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, There was a grand pow-wow of Mineola Red Men in their wigwam in Masonic Hall | last night. The occasion was the semi- annual visitation of the great chiefs of the District of Columbia. There were pres- ent: J. T. Dunning, great prophet, Tus- carora Tribe; W. C. White, great sachem, Mineola Tribe; P. S. West, great senior Sagamore, Tuscarora Tribe; H. W. Eao, great junior sagamore, Mineola Tribe; J. E. Dement, great chief of records, Osage Tribe; J. T. Springman, great keeper of wampum, Osage Tribe. One pale-face was adopted last night into the tribe of braves. His name was J.T. Loffier. In addition to the celebration of the visitation there was also exemplified the unwritten work. During the ceremony William Garner guarded the wigwam. The funeral of Mr. Thomas Anderson, who died Wednesday night at his home at Jackson and ‘Taylor streets, took place this afternoon, Rev. J. B. North of Garden Memorial Church officiating. Interment was in Congressional cemetery. The pall- bearers were John Andersan, C. M. Gib- bons, William Hardesty, N. Roby, H. E. Eno and George King. The second “literary” of the Mterary department of Anacostia Chapter, Epworth League, was held last night in the Metho- dist Church, at the corner of Jackson and Pierce streets. Mr. Arthur H. Tew pre- sided. The program consisted of musical and literary selections. Among the organizations the Carnation Social Club of Anacostia has been very active in gathering together largs quan- titles of provisions and articles for the poor this season. Already two masquerade donation partes have been given as the result of which the station house Is well stocked with articles to be distributed among the poor of Anacostia and its en- virons. On Wednesday last the social gave its second party at the home of Samuel Cissle, its president, who lives near Twin- ing City. Among ‘the members present were: Frank Bickerton, vice president; Thomas hornet, recording secretary; Wil- liam Selby, financial secretary; Edward Webster, treasurer; Frank Fastnaugh, Ar- thur Ferguson, William Smith, Charles Hazel, William Bury, Phil. Schultz. A Thanksgiving social and reception was given Thanksgiving evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Simpson at Capitol View. Among a few of those present were Miss Thieda North, Bertie Swindell, Jennie Simpson, Olive Simpson, Lottie Barr, Theo- dore Snell, Be€erly North, Norman North, James Cannon. There 1s still considerable speculation as to the outcome of the anti-saloon fight in Anacostia. A short time ago when the excise board notified William H. Rose, the only retail saloon keper in Anagostia, that he would have to get additional signatures to his application for this year’s license, the temperance leaders seemed consider- ably elated. It now seems that Rose has, according to the latest news, obtained an additional signature of a property owner in that square. This signature was ob- tained after no little difficulty, and now the liquor men claim the upper hand of the fight. Prof. E. C. Messer of Anacostia has noti- fled his intention of contributing to the art exhibition to be held this month by the lady managers of the Eastern Dispen- sary for the benefit of that institution. Supt. A. G. McKenzie of the street clean- ing department has at last consented to give Anacostia a thorough bi-weekly clean- ing. Again yesterday his street cleaning force appeared on Monroe street and ren- dered excellent service. The Anacostia Citizens’ Association was to have met last night at the substation. There was considerable business which had been outlined at the last meeting, among which was the adoption of a new consti- tution for the organjzation, but there was no meeting last night, and now those in- terested in the improvement of Anacos- tla await the call of a meeting by its new- ly elected president, Mr. H. A. Linger. Mr. George W. Rodman has taken up his residence in Mr. P. J. Hartigan’s house on Monroe street. ‘The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Smith, daugh- ter of Station Keeper Middleton, took place yesterday at her iate home in Washington. —_—— BROOKLA: The union Thanksgiviag services at the Baptist Church of Brookland were appro- priate and exceliently conducted. The choir, consisting of Mesdames West and Lord, Miss Fisher, Miss Biret and Messrs. Mary, Warten, Perry and Kane, rendered in a@ spirited manner a numer “of choice selections. Mrs. Lynch presided at the organ. Rev. Mr. West read the lesson of the day, and then introduced Rev.

Dr. Buck of Rock Creek preached an excellent ser- mon, taking as his text the divine com- mand to “Rejoice evermore.” The reception given by Mrs. J. H. Small to St. Clement's Sunday school Thursday afternoon was a pleasant affair. Mrs. Small was assisted in receiving and en- tertaining her guests by Rev. J. T. Crowe, Mrs. Ferry, Miss Small, Miss Sidney Small, Miss Burr and Miss Jean Dalgleish, and games and other amusements were provid- ed for the young folks, and an imviung col- lation was served.

With Map. New York: & oe Putuam'’s Sons. Washington: Robert ness Hunter, ap third volume of Mr. Roosevelt's invaluable history treats of the momentous period 1784-17#0—the seven years following immediately after the revolutionary war. Of the importance of the events that then transpired Mr. Roosevelt makes mention in his preface; the Constitutioa became an effective instrument, and while its prin- ciples were being impressed upon the peo- ple decision was reached on a matter that was vital. “The course of events during these years,” says the author, “deter- mined whether we should become a mighty nation or a mere snarl of weak and quarrelsome little commonwealths, with a history as bloody and meaningless as that of the Spanish-American states.” The eight interest-laden chapters deal with: “The Inrush of Settlers;” “The In- dian Wars;” “The Navigation of the M sissippi; Separatist Movements and Span. “The Southwest Terri- tory and Tennessee.” EDWIN BOOTH, Recollections by bis daughter, Bawina Booth Grossmann, and letters to ber and to his friends. New’ York: The Century Co.. Washington: Brentano's. Lovingly, yet without any approach to what might be regarded as pardonable pro- fuseness of eulogy, the daughter of one of the greatest of actors has compiled a vol- ume for which many who admired the ge- nius of Booth will rise up and call her blessed. The biographical sketch ts ad- mirable, but the charm of the work lies in the letters written to relatives and friends; in those epistles is matter of gen- uine interest, for they show us the man as he was known to but few.

Welcome as “The Century” is in its monthly form, it is much more so in vql- umes, and this particular volume ts espe- clally so because of its many excellencies. Much that is among the best of today’s literature and a great deal of what is at this time the unsurpassable in illustrative art are within the attractive covers. Edu- cationally the combination is a great power; a power in no sense lessened be- cause its exercise is unconscious. The person of most variable mood can hardly fail at any tine to find a pleasing chap- ter or picture. ST. NICHOLAS: An Illustrated iocmtee for ee Folks.

By Mrs. author of “Crow's Nest “Sweet Bells Out tious by Irving R. Wil tury Co, Washington: Brentano's. The woman who desires to obtain what Burton Harrison, ave dependence should read “A Bachelor Maid;” it is the story of one who did the best she could, yet failed; who aspired to that vague something which is frequently termed “the higher womanhood,” and who found that a great gulf existed between the intellectual ideal and the truly useful and lovable of womankind.
