Jacob Hammel Offers a Strong En- dorsement—Was Cured of Rheu- matic Paralysis by Using Muanyon’s Rheuma- tism Cure. Jacob Hammel, 900 East Monument street, Bal- timore, Md., says: “I had muscular rheumatism in my arm so badly I could not raise it. I was sore in my lower Mmbs. I bought a small bottle of Munyon’s Rheumatic Cure, and, after taking it two days, it relieved the soreness in my limbs and re- stored complete motion to my arm. It is now as useful as ever."* Munyon’s Rheumatism Core acts almost in- stontancously, curing many okstinate cases in a few hours. It is guaranteed to cure rheumatism in any part cf the body.

MAIL HAWAIIAN ADVICES Efforts Being Made to Discover Means to Eradicate Leprosy. Favorable Sentiment Toward the United States—Denial of the Re- ported Torture of Prisoners. Mail advices from Hawaii state that the government authorities have communicated with Dr. Albert D. Hale of Chicago with a view to having him take charge of the government experimental laboratory for the discovery of means to eradicate leprosy. Dr. Hale visited Hawali some time ago, and expressed a desire to undertake the bacteriological experiments under govern- ment direction, and it is in pursuance of this plan that the health department has submitted a preposal which, it is believed, he will accept. The depers on the Island of Molakai have organized a brass band, and Admiral Beardslee, in command of the United States ship Philadelphia, is taking an active interest in their efforts. In or- der to secure instruments for the lepers, a concert was given at Honolulu, and Ad- miral Beardslee tendered the services of the Philadelphia’s band for the occasion. The Hawaiian sentiment toward the United States is shown by the annual ban- quet and election of the National Guard. ‘The stars and stripes were on either side, “as defenses” to the Hawaiian flag. The music of the event was “Marching Thro’ Georgia,” “Rally Round the Flag,” and “Star Spangled Banner” as a finale. ‘The Hawaiian legislature is expected to convene next month and frame laws as to passports and lands. No Torturing of Prisoners. In order to set at rest reports of torture inflicted on Capt. Davis as a result of the recent insurrection, Davis has furnished the following affidavit, witnessed by two persons. After reciting the reports the affidavits states: “I wish to set at right such a fearful prevarication and denounce the whole thing as a most infernal falsehood. Not one of the tortures enumerated was practiced upon myself nor upon any other prigoner. On the contrary, the government from the first has treated me with the utmost fair- ness and justice, and my confession to the authorities relative to the landing of arms was made freely and not after having been subjected to tertute. I make this state- ment, believing it only fair that such an imputation against a government that has dealt as fairly and leniently with me and all other prisoners as has the Hawalian government should be denied by one who is best able to do so.” The Hawaiian government has been ask- ed t» adopt the Krag-Jorgensen rifle, now in use by the United States, = SHE WAS THE HEROINE. And She Recognized the Character at Once, of Course. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. He was a young author, and as he did not live by his pen, the belief of himself and his friends in his genius remained un- shaken. It was said that he drew his char- acters from life, a fact which in no wise diminished his popularity with the fair sex. One afternoon he called upon the prettiest girl in his set, and, after greeting her, said: “Miss Edith, I have ventured to bring you a little story of mine, in which I hope you will take.some slight interest. The fact is, I have drawn you as my heroine. The portrait is pronounced excellent by every one who has read it. It is called ‘A Mir—’ ” “Oh,Mr. Penandink, how very charming!” muttered Miss Edith. “I have just been reading a story of yours today. It is call- ed ‘A Mirrored Maid,’ and I recognized the heroine at once.” “Did you, indezd? And did you think it a good likeness? “Excellent, you mean, sarcastic man! Of course, Angela is my friend, though we are so different. I am devoted to her, but I can’t help seeing that she Is selfish and vain.” “Oh, Miss Edith, you” _ : “Oh, you needn't deny it. "Even Angela can't fail to recognize it, and I do hope that it will do her good to see her faults described so plainly. I'm sure I should know myself at once in her place, for I | make it a point never to ignore my own s Edith, I—” “Oh, yes; I don’t wonder that you would rathcr not confess that it is she, after showing her to be such a little cat. So this is the magazi with the story in which I am the ne , is it? Dear me, I am quite excited! Hand m2 the paper knife, will you?” x “Oh, Miss Edith, really I—” Yes, and you must read it to me your- self. I know I shall be delighted, for I admire all your stories so much. Why, Mr. Penandink, are you ill?” X “[-1, that is, b am not feeling very well, and I think I have an engagement, too.” “Well, if, you must go; but be sure to come soon again ard hear what I think of he s' rk 7 Lut that is just what Mr. Penandink will never do. A New Substitute for Gold. From the London Daily News. A French technical paper, the Journal de YHorlogerie, declares that a new amalgam has been discovered which is a wonderful substitute for gold. It consists of 94 parts of copper to 6 parts of antimony. The cop- per is meited and the antimony is then add- ed. Onte the two metals are sufficiently fused together, a little magnesium and car- bonate of lime are added to increase the density of the material. The product can be drawn, wrought and soldered, just like gold, which it almost exactly resembles on being polished. Even when exposed to the action of ammoniacal salts of nitrous va- pors it preserves its color. The cost of making it is about a shtlling a pound avoir- dupois. +o+—___. Silence Ensued. From*the Boston Hereld. A small Boston girl who was an unnotic- ed listener at a family discussion over re- cent public events the other morning, sud- denly piped up with: “Say, mamma, is everybody wicked?” “Why, no, my child, of course not,” an- swered mamma. “What do you ask such a question as that for?” “Only because you haven't said a nice thing about any one today!” The rest was silence. LEGATION ROBBEDIEDUCATIONAL WORK ii Chilean Minister Anxious About the Where- | Olosirg Exercises of the Night School abouts of Some Jewelry. With the Property the Butler Has Alno Dissapeared—Property Missing Police dm the Lokout. a L The several robberies committed here during the past few months by persons sup- posed to be expert burglars, as heretofore published in The Star, were followed last night by a heavy robbery at the Chilean legation, and the property taken is vari- cusly estimated at from $5,000 to $10,000. Senor Don Domingo Gana, the Chilean minister, and other members of the family went from the legation at 1330 Massachu- setts avenue about 8 o'clock in the evening and attended the piay at the Grand Opera House. While the ladies in the party wore jewels they also left many valuable arti- cles of jewelry at home, as they had on many previous occasions, and never dream- ed there was any danger of their being stolen. It was sometime after 11 o’clock when the members of the theater party re- turned. There were none of the domestic servants on guard at the house when the party returned, and the butler, Oscar Brau- ner, who should have been on duty, was nowhere to be seen. On the lower floor # the house there was nothing to indicate that anything out of the regular order had transpired, but when Madame Gana went to her room she was surprised to find that her jewel case had been emptied of the valuables. The case was locked when she left the house, but the lock had been forced off and the jewelry was gone. “‘Where’s the butler?” was the first ques- tion asked. There was no one in the house who could make a response. He was not in his room, and the other servants were aroused and questioned, but they were as much sur- prised as were the members of the family. It was evident that the valuable jewelry and about $100 in cash had been taken from the house, and the minister lost no time in reporting the matter to the police and having the late trains watched. Stolen Jewelry. A list of the stolen property, as far as Madame Gana knew, was given as follows: Diamond pin, with pearl in center of clus- ter. Z Pin in-form of bird, set with pearls. Necklace set with diamonds and pearls. Crescent diamond pin. Diamond bracelet. Bracelet set with diamends and sapphires. Bracelet in form of horseshoe. Gold chain, with hanging shell. =. Breastpin set with a large pearl and dia- monds. Two large pearls. A gold pin. Gold pin, with diamond, pearl and ruby setting. An oval pin, with topaz setting. The Missing Man. The missing butler was at once suspected, and Minister Gana furnished the police a description of him. He is about thirty years old, 5 feet 5 inches high, dark curly hair and light eyes. He wore a double- breasted coat and light checked trousers, He had been employed at the legation only about three months, and it is said, he was employed without even showing a recommendation. When he appeared and asked tor employment he claimed that he was a native Chilean; and was born in a portion of the count where there are many Germans. The ‘man spoke with a German accent, and he was also master of the Spanish language. His knowledge of the German settlement in the South Amer- ican country made it apparent that he had been there, and the members of the family were well pleased, with him. Only a few days ago another man of the same kind appeared and asked fora position, and now the police are satisfied that if the missing butler took the jewelry he had an accom- plice. The butler did not-have access to the sleeping rooms in the house, and when Icft in charge at night his duty was to remain on the lower floor. He had no trouble moving about the house without being de- tected, for the other servants occupied rcoms on the upper floor. But one of the servants happened to be moving about the house about 9 o'clock, and saw Brauner in the room from where the jewelry was taken. He had managed to enter the room by unlocking the door with a key he had made himself. It is more than likely that he had a con- federate, and had he not been sem by one of the other servants would probably have turned over the plunder and remained there, but being seen, as he was, in the reom from where the jewelry was taken, he thought he had better leave, which he did. This morning Dectective Boyd was as- signed to the case, and he visited the lega- tion and made an investigation. He is satisfied that the missing butler took the jewelry, and thinks he has probably gone to New York. A description of the man and jewelry has been sent to the police of other cities, and Minister Gana has offered a reward of $300 for the arrest of the thief and recovery of the diamonds. - Another Case. About six years ago a similar robbery was committed at the iegation by a trusted employe, who was caught at the depot when he was about to leave the city on a train. He had several thousaid dollars’ worth of jewelryebelonging to m2mbers of Minister Gana’s family, and the o:ticers of the third precinct recovered It from him. The prisoner that time was a Cuban who had been in the minister's employ some time. Although he was’ caught with the property in his possession he was never prosecuted. This afternoon the police had received no tidings of the bytler who left the house so suddenly last night, nor had they received any clue to the whereabouts of the missing jewelry. Fish With Human Teeth. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat, ‘At an early hour Menday night a dis- reputable-looking dog wandered into City Undertaker Jeremiah Sheehan's office on litp street, near Walnut street, having in his mouth a head as big as a bab, glaring white teeth, but no body.. ant Undertaker John Sheehan, who has become used to handling corpses as a whole, but who draws the line on disin- tegrated cadavers, fell off his chair, and the dog fled from the room, leaving the grisly object behind. Investigation proved that it was the head of a monster fish, with a full set of hu- man front teeth. Every ivory was perfect, and the set, twelve in number—six above and six below—was flanked on, each side by eye teeth, whose shape and composition could not be mistaken. The head, which was very large, had been severed from the body, and the dog had evidently secured it from some slop barrel before Col. Ed. Butler’s minions ‘took charge of it. The head appeared to be a cross between that of a sea horse and a buffalo fish, and the presence of the ‘teeth, which protruded from plainly defined lips, quite different from. any ever seen on an ordinary fish, gave it a most uncanny appearance. On the inside of the mouth was thé usual num- ber of “fish teeth,” which looked more like ivory than those usually seen, and were blunter. The fish entire probably weighed fdrty pounds. Where it was caught, where it came from, who ate it and where the dog secured the head are points which the inquisitive must learn for themselves. Deputy Bull does not pretend to know. He only knows, that he will have it mounted by a taxidérmist and preserved at his home. Dr. Atkinson took charge of it and gave a talk on it before thé faculty of the Mar- ion Sims Medical College and the visiting physicians, who dined at the Planters’. The freak was pronounced both remarkable and genuine. ——__+ e+ The Dark Horse. From the Cincinnati Times-Star. Frederick Douglass often laughed over a witticism of Mrs. Fred Grant’s at his ex- pense, when they met at the Chicago con- vention of 1888. “I was sitting with Mrs. Grant and her party watching the ballot- ing,” said he to a friend. “To my surprise, one vote was cast for me for President of the United’ States. It had no sooner been announced by the tellers than Mrs. Grant turned to me, and, with the most charming smile imaginable, said: ‘You must be the dark horse of this cemvention, Mr. Doug- Conducted by the Y. M0. A A Large Attendance and Much Interest Displayed—Work Exhibited—List of Those to Get Certifieates. In the presence of quite a large audience, the closing exercises of the business night school, conducted by the Young Men’s Christian Association were held in the as- sociation’s prettily decorated gymnasium hall last evening. A very interesting and enjoyable program of instrumental and vo- cal music and addresses had been pre- pared, and it was greatly enjoyed. The exercises were opened by a number rendered by the ¥. M. C. A. Orchestra, Prof. E. A. Lovey, director, and, after a vigorously demanded encore had been rec- ognized, President L. Cabell Williamson invoked the Divine blessing. He introduced Mr. R. A. Holden, who sang several bari- tone solos, much to the delight of the au- dience, the ¥. M. C. A. Quartet following him in two -well-received selections. An oration, entitled “The Romantic Muse of the Past,” was next delivered by Mr. W. P, Hancock. It was an eloquent and poctical tribute to the romance of the world’s history, and the young man’s effort was enthusiastical- ly_applauded. - Secretary James E. Pugh was next «n- nounced by the program to speak upon the educational department of the associa- tion, but he excused himself on the ground that he would deliver his address Wednes- day evening, when the certificates of scholarship will be awarded: Mr. Pugh stated, however, that the record cf the school during the school year of 1894-95 was the best in its history. The interna- tional secretary had informed him, said, that the school’s record for attend- ance was the best in the country. When Mr. Pugh concluded Mr. W. C. Henry stepped forward and stated to the audience that the classes in arithmetic and bookkeeping had been quietly investigating Mr. Pugh, and had reached the conclusion that he needed protection. Therefore he took much pleasure in presenting to Mr. Pugh, on behalf of those classes, a fine, suitably engraved, silk umbrella. Mr. Pugh bowed his thanks, and then Mr. Irving O. Ball pleased the audience with two tenor solos, Mr. J. A. Eisenbeiss following with a‘ violin solo. Mr. Needham’s Address. Ex-Assistant Attorney General Charles W. Needham was then introduced, and de- livered a brief address upon the value of education. The privilege of speaking on such an occasion, said Mr. Needham, he considered a great honor. He congratulat- ed the association on the splendid work it had done and is doing in its school, stat- ing that it is a great and lasting work. The association, he said, in these days of dividends was drawing from its educational work the very largest dividend possible. ie had been especially delighted and grati- ied upon inspecting the exhibit of the work of the scholars, it being a most ex- cellent one. It is, he declared, a most proper thing for a religious association to engage in educational work, for it then is truly engaged in lifting up and bettering humanity. In that way religion became practical, and in that way it made life more noble and more thorough. And such work, said Mr. Needham, is the most en- during. Mr. Needham’s address was loudly ap- pleuded, and the audience dispersed to the music of the orchestra. The School Work. The school is one of the many features of the local Y. M. C. A., and is open to all members of the association. It has been established on its present basis since 1891, and the year closed last evening was its fifth and most successful. ‘The work has been under the direction of the educational committee, composed of Messrs. John T. Freeman, chairman; J. R. Buckelew, F. A. Dodge, H. T. A. Lemon, L, F. Spear, W. S. Washburn and N. E. Webster. The teachers were Messrs. E. P. Hanna, A. M. P. Maschmeyer, J. W. Craw- ford, H. Q. Hine, W. C. Henry and E. P. Lewis. The rcoms in which the work has been done will bear inspection. Special care has been given to the lighting, and to this is due much of the success. The rooms are cheerful and bright, supplied with all the blackboard space possible, but how so many fessions and so large a number of pupils have been accommodated would appear to be a mystery but that the same room is occupied by four different sets of young men between the hours of 6:30 and 10 p.m. ard in one evening ten different classes are conducted. The typewriting class, which is repre- sented as having fifty-one sessions, was divided into six sections, so that the teach- er has had six different companies of young men twice each week to make up bis class, or the capacity of the associa- tion has been multiplied six times in order to meet the demand made upon it. In stenography this has been done three times, to that a beginners’, intermediate and advanced class has continued, and a young man in any stage of the study could be accomodated. The number enrolled and the percentage of attendance are evidences of apprecia- tion, but the work of individuals is even more striking. In geometry the whole class has a record of 93 per cent, and in algebra thirteen students gvere present 89 per cent; in arithmetic eleven students have not an absence marked against them, end the same is true of the other classes. Exhibition of Work. The exhibition of the work is very taste- fully arranged and should be seen by all interested during the time allotted. While the work done by the class in mechanical draughting is the most showy, the students in the other classes have made a fine ex- hibition. There is work from ten men in physics, fourteen in penmanship, twenty- five in stenography, thirty in bookkeeping, twenty-seven in English, thirty-eight in arithmetic, forty-one in typewriting, eight in geometry and twelve in algebra. Each student's work is given an individual cover with uniform design and his name clearly written upon it, while the work is done on paper with printed heading, giving name, occupation, age of student and when work was begun fn the class. A study of the occupations and ages is interesting. Here are found bricklayers, machinists, grip- mek, messenger boys, carpenters, students, clerks—almost every conceivable avocation —and, what is very remarkable, each stu- dent has been able to secure hat whiéh he felt was his greatest need. It is hardly necesary to say that the growth of the educational work is largely due to Mr. Pugh’s patient, persevering effort and that the high compliment paid by the interna- tional committee's secretary to the work in Washington has been the logical outcome of such zeal as Mr. Pugh has displayed. ‘The students are looking forward to the banquet tomorrow night, when not less than 150 will set down to enjoy good things prepared by the ladies and when the fol- lowing 119 young men will receive certifi- cates: .

Altogether the District Got Through Better Than Other Pinces. ‘Tne smallpox hospital is now without an occupant, the lest of the patients being the colored man Butler and one of his children, who left the hospital today and went home. As soon as these patients left the building workmen were on the ground to begin the preliminary work on the new building. The smallpox epidemic started here early in the season, the first patient being admitted to the hospital on the 21st of October. When the first case was reported Health Officer Woodward took every precaution possible against the spread of the disease, and it is thought saved the city from a severe epi- demic. When the disease made its appear- ance in the departments it was feared that the deaths would be very numerous, but most of the patients went to the hospital willingly and lessened the danger to a great extent. Between the 2ist of October and the 13th of March there were fifty-one cases looked after by the health office officials, thirty- two colored and nineteen white. There were only eight deaths, six colored and two whiie. ‘n these statistics is included =he case of Mary Moton, colored, who contract- ed the disease here and died in Virginia. It is estimated that the cost of taking care of the victims and preventing the spread of the disease will amount to about $20,¢ Washington was particularly fortunate as compared with most other cities where the disease made Its appearance, and‘ the Physicians generally think this is due to the efforts made by Health Officer Woodward. It is conceded that the smallpox regulations do not give the health officer much author- ity, but Dr. Woodward realized that some- thing was necessary beyond what was pre- scribed in the law, and he did it without getting the department into trouble. In several other cities where the smallpox broke out this winter the epidemic is still raging and hundreds of persons have died. It is thought that the death rate here was lower than in any other city where the dis- ease appeared. : a WILLIAMS IN COURT. One Indicted Safe Robher Pleads Not Guilty Today. The detectives are still at work on the robbery committed at the office of the Alex- andria Ferry Co., at the 7th street wharf, and the delay in getting the prisoner “Ed- dy” Desmond here from Alexandria has given the officers additional time to look up evidence before taking the case into court. The case of “Billy” Williams, who is under arrest here for complicity in the safe blowing, was to have been called in the Police Court today, but, as predicted in ‘The Star last week, the witnesses went be- fore the grand jury yesterday, and that body returned an indictment which takes the case out of the hands of the Police Court, and Williams, therefore, was not given a hearing today. “Eddy” Desmond and a man known as “Jack” Dempsey were also indicted. z Nothing has been heard of the missing “Jack” Dempsey since the morning of the raid in Jackson City, more than a week ago, although the officers have been en- deavoring to locate him. Desmond is still in jail at Alexandria, and so far as can be ascertained the warrant of removal has not yet been signed by Judge Hughes, although it has been about a week since the order was made by United States Commissioner Fowler at Alexandria. Lawyer Bendheim, the prisoner's counsel, has gone to Norfolk to appear before Judge Hughes and make an effort to upset the proceedings of the United States commis- sioner and get his client released. ‘The officers here have no idea that he will succeed, for should he be released on a writ of habeas corpus or other proceedings, he would be immediately rearrested on a bench warrant, based on the indictment found yesterday, and requisition papers would certainly bring him here. , Billy Williams this morning pleaded not guilty to each indictment against him. Judge McComas fixed the amount of bail at $1,500 in each case. ——— A NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. Proposed Organization of One Discus- sed by the Anti-Saloon Lengue. The Anti-saloon League held an impor- tant meeting last night at No. 623 Louisi- ana avenue northwest. The proceedings were conducted in executive session, and noné but regularly accredited delegates were admitted. About fifty ladies and gentlemen were present. Rev. Dr. L. B. Wilson, presiding elder of Washington dis- trict, Methqdist Episcopal Church, pre- sided and Mrs. H. A. Gillenwater was sec- retary. A proposition was made and discussed at much length that a call be issued by the league to similar organizations throughout the country, asking them to send delegates to Washington to assist in the formation of a national anti-saloon league. It is generally understood that the invitations will be issued in the course of the next two or three months. ‘The league also considered, briefly, how- ever, a suggestion that the right of steam- boat companies to sell liquor on board their vessels on Sunday within the District be tested. It was stated that Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Pugh is favorable to the idea. — G. W. Childs’ Courtesy. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. There was another amiable soul whom I saw only when he was under the blankets, That was George W. Childs. It was very late, and he had been to bed a long time. I fully expected that the answer to my card would be, “Tell him to go to Jericho!” But instead of that there was a cordial invita- tion to the “gentleman to come up, if he would excuse Mr. Childs for being in bed.” The gentleman thought he might concede that much. Mr. Childs was sitting up, and, with bis chubby face crowned by a Kilmar- uock nightcap, looked as funny as a brownie and as amiable as Mr. Pickwick. He put on his spectacles to look at me, and said, laughing: “You are very enter- prising. I like enterprise. “I am very fond of the newspaper boys. Why shouldn't I ber ‘They have made my little paper what is. After we had- talked over the business matter on which I had called, the good old man chatted about national affairs and one thing and another, and thanked me for having permitted him to be interviewed! —-—-e0—___ Republicans Carry Mr. Stevenson’s Home. The municipal election yesterday at Bloomington, Ill, was a clean sweep for the republicans, who elected the mayor and all six aldermen. Edgar Haller was elected mayor by 1,500 majority, the largest major- ity the city ever gave to a candidate of any party. The council now stands: Mayor and eleven aldermen republican; one alderman democrat, THINGS HEARD AND SEEN Gen. Smith, who has just retired from the head of the pay corps in the army, is one of the men who was not seeking promotion when he was made brigadier general. He was stationed in St. Paul when tue last vacancy occurred and came to Washing- ton in the interest of his brother, Col. Rodney Smith, who was his senior in the corps and a candidate for general. The former saw President Harrison several times and briefly told him why his brother should be appointed. Finally he went to the President when the latter had some leisure and there was « genera} discussion of matters concerning the pay corps. Mr, Harrison asked Lieut. Col. Smith, for that was then his rank, what a good paymaste? should do and also inquired as to the gen- eral management of vhe corps in every deg partment of the army. Se found the younger Smith was so well informed and knew the duties so well that he decided to appoint him. The Fresident epoke so hinds ly and appeared so appreciative of what he had heard that Col. Smith assurel one of his friends in the city that he felt su: “Brother peaney: — be selected.” 1 was very much surprised the next day to find that he was the Smith that had been made paymaster general. A good story comes over from the White House. It seems that once in awhile Pres> ident Cleveland gets by Mr. Thurber and invades the room occupied vy the subordly nate clerks in the d2partment. On one cf these occasions récently he went in anl stood looking down at the vork which one of the clerks was domg. The man at work never looked up; he thought it was one of the other clerks who occasionally -othered him. “What the devil de you want?” bé asked. There was io response. The othe? clerks gasped for breath. death-iike stillness prevailed, and the working clerk looked up to meet a smile on the sountes nance of the President. In time an expla« nation followed, »ut it will be a long time before that White House cierk will ask a like question until he 1s dead sure of the man he is talking -o. A naval officer was recently the observer of a living picture whitch would probably satisfy New York. Arising rather late one morning at the swell boarding housd where he was staying he proceeded 10 the bath room to get a pitcher of wat The fact that the door was nearly ciosed did not prevent him from entering us it vieldv ed to his push. With eyes upon the aif and mind upon the previous night, h not notice that there was aot = in the room. This person was a Venu rising from the vath, or rather who ha arisen and had a towel ir and. With slight scream the towal went over head and the startled officer ‘ookivg up backed out. He don’t know who she was and probably she will never ‘cll. Shi knows who he was ani is’ sure that hee own identity will remain a mystery. Sh. is still congratulating herself upon thal involuntary movement which concea'ed h face and prevented the son of Neptune from discovering her name. What is to become of all the pictures o} departed great men that are accumulatt in the various departments? Every cabine| officer, head of a bureau, assistant cabing| officer, as well as the head of each admit> istration leaves his imprint, either in large photo, crayon or oil, on the wi of the office he vacates. The walls most rooms are crowded now and some o} them are overflowing. A large majority these men’ are forgotten; a very few distinguished, and they certainly are titled to places of honor. But what shi be done with the numerous men of bu day, and especially the pictures of thi many small fry that are accumulating’ Let us have a hall of records and store these with the musty. vellums th: will never be called for and yet which a erous republic thinks should be retained ab a part of its valuables. A New Yorker well known in Washingy ton seems to be getting along very wel fighting Tom Platt. His fight a; Platt in the campaign of 1892 netted him a place under the Harrison administration, and some surprise was manifested when E. C. O'Brien was made commissioner of navigation, although it was explained that he had a solid delegation from his part of the state to the national convention, Recently he was appointed dock- commis+ sioner in New York, a place with a of $5,000 and “perks” which will bring {i about $3,000 more. He is one of the young republicans who always went to leagu meetings, and talked for the party on all occasions. “Count Obritne” the boys call: ed him, because of his very black pointed beard and his general foreign appearan: Going ‘vest one time was picked out as a diplomat of great promingnce everybody in the car, especially as he called “count” by his companions, Whi his friends saw that several young ladi were interested, they got within earsho| and told arother passenger about the “digs tinguished fcreigner” they were takin, west to see the country, and add ‘al about his fabulous possessions in the ol country. It was also asserted that thi “count” being a single man might decid to take a wife home with him if he Ke. mained long enough. Until the end of the trip Mr. O'Brien was the cynosure of all eyes. Passengers came the whole length of the train and gazed at the rich “count” who was going west to purchase about half of the country beyond the Missou! Mr. O'Brien says he received more attenr tion on that trip than he ever hopes again. The interior of the residence of John W. Foster has an oriental suggestiveness, As a result of Mr. Foster's travels and hig relations with foreigners, more especially the Chincse, he has secured a treasurg house of beautiful things, which are the admiration of all who hate beheld them, Rich tapestry, bric-a-brac of all kinds and of great value adorn the walls and mane tels. Vases which delights the eye of thé ceramic collector are plentiful, while there are historical and fancy articles of worth and magnificence. Raro ca net upon pearl and in ivory, showing the skill and high order of workmanship of Chinese, attract the attention. ———— A Bevy of Birds at a Hotel, From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. A queer coincidence was the cause of con- siderable merriment in the lobby of the Grand Pacific yesterday. Early in the day D.
