Wants the License Fee. G. M. Fague, treasurer of the Columbia Athletic Club, writes to the Commissioner: today, stating that on November 1, 1891 the club deposited with the collector o! taxes the sum of $40 for a liquor licens for 1894 and 1895, As it nas been decided that clubs are not liable for the same hc has, on behalf of that organization, re quested the return of said deposit. Complains of Obstructions. Edward M. Paul of 1461 Florida avenuc has complained to the Commissioners that the sidewalk on the north side of W street near Florida avenue is blockaded by build- ing operations, thereby putting the public to the necessity of wading through thc carriageway of W street, which is nothing but mud in bad weather. “Builders it ether parts of the city nave regard to th ecnyenience of pedes he sa: ni why should the people on the above-name.. street be not made to do the sam He further states that New Hampshire 2v= nue northwest, near 1sth and W streets,has been made a dumping ground for contrae ters for years, only leaving room, most © the time, for a single carriage to pas through at a time.

A Dramatic Episode in His Career. “A rather dramatic episode in the life of the new Senator from Kansas came near incapacitating him for further us: fulness of any kind a few years ago. D. It. Anthony, editor of the Leavenworth Times, who fs as forceful for a man, as his iste Susan B, is for a woman, prints some very strong ‘pieces’ in his paper about the people whom 1 does not like. A man by the name of Thurston had killed his or. mer friend, W. W. Embree, whose past, the way, had led him to anticipate just such an end to a checkered career. Both men were residents of Leavenworth, and public feeling ran high. Senator Lucian Baker, counted one of the rising criminal lawyers of the state, was retaincd by Thurstcn, and so good was the defense that Thurston was acquitted. “Anthony had kept up an unceasing on Thurston and hounded him to despera tion, One day in 1830 Thurston met An- thony on the street in Leavenworth, and d to shcot him. caliber bullet went wide of the closer mark and went whistling down the street, taking off the ear of a man just be- hind Anthony, and then striking Senator Baker squarely in the left side passed out on the right. He was all of three or four hundred feet away at the time, and was rot a party to the controversy. For three months he battled for life, and at last con- quered. He is as strong as ever now, and since his recovery has felt no inconvenience from the bullet of the man whose life he had saved from the gallows. Thurston was convicted and sent to the penitentiary for a long term of years. He appealed to Gov. Glick for a pardon, but was refused. v. Humphrey granted the pardon, two rs later, and Thurston came to Wash- ington and began a fight on ex-Gov. Glick. He was himself appointed to a government position and held it until his death, two years ago.” —____-e.___ A CURIOUS COINCIDE CE. An Alleged Local Incident Represent- ed ax Occuring Also in London. A curious coincidence which came to no- tice last week seems to show that the well- known writer of detective stories, Mr. A. Conan Doyle, either got some of the ma} terial for his latest story, which appeared in Saturday's Star, while on his recent visit to this city, or else the incident re- lated was an experience common to at least two persons. It will be remembered that Mr. Doyle, in his story, represents one of his characters, who ts a thief, giving an account of his stealing a pocketbook from a lady’s pocket. The thief states that he was in a London omnibus, seated near a young lady, and while he was endeavoring to appropriate her purse and his hand was still in her pocket, the lady rose abruptly to leave the "bus, and he had hardly time to get his hand out of her pocket without detection. He discovered that in drawing his hand out in a hurried manner a valu- able diamond ring, which he had recently purchased, had slipped over his finger and remained in the lady’s pocket. He found that there was only a small sum of money in the purse. That much for the story as related by Conan Doyle and as no doubt read with great interest by the readers of The Star. Here comes in the coincidence. At least three days before this story was printed a representative of The Star was told by a friend a curious incident which had come to him from a able source. It was the Conan Doyle story, as above given, with the exception that the lady was represented Te today—the S5e Serge of "Ot. 50c 50e yard for the G8e quality Black Jacquards, in eighteen of the new 189 Mohair styles, —the imperial family at Berlin, have their washing done at the city laun dries, Germany, Because the: couldn’t have it dome as well at home. your trouble?

The above are the facts, and the reader is left to make his own explanation of what will be acknowledged to be at least a singular coincidence. oe BALTIMORE TUNNEL.

Fowler of 907 5th street northwest has filed a protest with thc Commissioners against granting permis. sion to lumber dealers to occupy the pub- lic parking of some of the streets, and tc allow them to draw up a bill for suc? purposes. In his letter to the Commis sioners today he says: Some of these men, under the plea tha: the Commissioners’ recent order in ref- erence to obstractions in the streets would work great hardships for the poor, arc trying to hold possession of the parkin; which they have too long occupied. Wh should the parking on 5th and 6th streem northwest, and on New York avenue, tt the center of the city, be used any more than parking on assachusetts avenuc and 15th street northwest?
