Many Short Local Notes Told in Brief, Crisp Paragraphs—An In- vitation Accepted. Mayor Strauss had but few cases before him for trial this morning, and it took but a little while to dispose of then. Hen- ry Alexander, the man supposed to be crazy, was disci:arged. William Spinner, George Taylor, William Holmes and Chas. Johnson, four tramps, were charged with stealing a watch from Bert Wingate, a fellow tramp. Spinner turned state’s evi- dence and was dismissed, the others were sent down for ten days each as vagrants. For some time the watch could not be found, but later on one of the men con- fessed that they had thrown it into the closet at the station house, where it Was recovered. From what could be learned it appears that’ all five of the men were stealing a ride on a Southern railway freight train to this city. When the train had left Burke's station the four men grabbed Win- gate and took from him his coat, hat and watch, and made him jump from the rap- idiy moving train. Fortunately he was not hurt and he wended his way on to this city, where he located the four men above named and caused their arrest. Paraded the Streets. Last night was the opening night of a May festival, under the auspices of Alex- andria Canton, Patriarchs Militant, L O. O. F., and it was a great success. About fifty members of a canton from Washing- ton came down on the 8:02 train in full uniform, and headed by the third regiment drum corps, and a committee from the Alexandria lodge, they paraded the princi- pal streets betore going to the hall. They presented a fine appearance. The visitors returned much pleased with their ip. Janior Order U. A. M. Belle Haven Council, Junior Order United American Mechanics, held a regular meet- ing last night, which was very interesting. The degrees of the order were conferred on several candidates. A check for $250 was dyawn in favor of Mrs. Samuel Robey, the widow of a deceased member, in payment of the death benefit due from the order. Crazy Man Arrested. While Officer Griffin was patrolling his beat, in the neighborhood of the Fayette Street -lepot, yesterday, he noticed a white man acting in a suspicious manner. When the officer approached ‘him it was found that he was crazy. He was taken to the station house, where he gave his name as Henry Alexander, and said he came from Washington. Accepted the Invitation, At a cailed meeting of the Relief Hook and Ladder Company, held last night, the invitation of R. E. Lee Camp Confederate Veterans to participate in the confederate memorial day services, on the 24th instant, was considered. A committee of arrange- ments, with Mr. W. L. Kemp as chairman, was appointed, with power to secure music for the parade. The company will turn out about fitty members in their handsome new uniforms and new truck. Notes. The city council will hold a regular meet- ing tonight. A city engineer will be elected. There are three candidates. The gas works failed to “work” last night and but a small flow of gas was furnished to patrons during the greater part of the night. The funeral of Mrs. Arthur Lyles took place from Christ Church yesterday after- noon. The service was conducted by Rev. H. Suter. Miss Melvira Robey, a well-known young lady of the first ward, dropped dead at her home, on Prince street, last night. The cause !s not known. She had not been sick more than a few hours. ‘There was a faise alarm of fire about 9:30 o'clock last night which brought out the entire department. Dr. B. Blackford, who has been spending a few days with Mr. J. T. Beckham, re- turned to Staunton today. Capt. Wm. A. Smoct has gone to King George county. for a short stay. ‘Talisman Lodge, I. O. G.

The Capital Glee and ‘the Rubinstein clubs of this city are going to Richmond Friday, May 24, to give 2 concert cempii- mentary to the citizens of that city. Those invited to accompany them may expect a most delightful time. Sinee the idea was first suggested the executive commit- tee have received several offers to give the concert under the auspices of popular charities, but the clubs insisted upon car- rying out their original plans of bearing the eutire expense, including theater, &c., and issuing cards of invitation to the elite of Richmond. All arrangements possible were made by mail, and, at the request of the executive committee, Mr. Cloward, the directcr of both clubs, went to Richmond Sunday night to consult with the lady patronesses. On the suggestion of one of the ladies, it was decided that the “Wednesday Club” of Richmond act as sponsors, as the pa- tronesses were anxious to assure the mem- bers of the Washington crganizations a fraternal as well as social reception. The “Wednesday. Club” is the pride cf Rich- mond, and, although oniy two years ago it started'as an informal gathering cf musical enthusiasts at the home of its present president, Mr. H. T. Meloney, throughethe earnest efforts of the wife of the president, it has reached a membership of 175 people, and, under the very capable direction of Mr. Arthur Scrivenor, has developed into a full-blown oratorio cho- rus. Richmond is greatly interested in the approaching concert, Thursday and Friday of this week, on which occasion the Wed- nesday Club will be assisted by Miss Em- ma Juch. The members of this organization are greatly pleased at the prospect of beirg able to act as critics at the concert of the Wasbington clubs, as they have been rehearsing continuously in their efforts to create a high standard in their first at- tempt in oratorio. If the home organizations succeed in in- terpreting Gade’s “Crusaders” as well as they did recently here the Richmond peo- ple can anticipate a treat, for rarely was ever such nicety of shading and dramatic effects shown in chorus work as was pro- duced in this charming cantata. Then, too, their individual work is excel- lent, and whereas they both vary a pro- gram by lighter work, the clubs incline to- ward the classical. No organizations in the history of Washington have been better received than these clubs, and a better selection could not be made to represent the standard chorus work in Washington. The executive committee estimate that about 200 will accompany them, and have requested the committee’in charge of invi- tations at Richmond to reserve that num- ber of seats for the Washington party. —————_ A Birthdany Party. Miss May Cordell had a ninth anniversary birthday party at the residence of her parents, on New York avenue, last evening.

But the Sower's Costume Was Entirely in Advance of the Season, In the old-fashioned almanac the page devoted to April was adoraed with the’ figure of a man in his skirt sleeves, wearing a straw hat and scattering eed from a huge apron. He sct an example of in- dustry, but not of dress to us who know that April never passes without many an overcast, bleak, bit- ter day. In such weather we are liable to. prosaic bother- some colds that stop up our noses, make our eyes water and stiffen the muscles of our backs and limbs, so that we wonder if we are growing old. Not a bit of ft. The blood is sluggish, and docs not carry away broken-down tissue—the ashes of the body. Dufty’s Pure Malt Whisky changes al! this. It is an honest medicinal stimulant, helpful to revive the flagging strength when sudden changes of temperature try the body sorcly. It quickens the circulation and diffuses a healtty ful and most welcome warmth through the body, Often we tnd people complaining at this time of year thst after exposure it takes them a long timt to get thoroughly warm.

And it is something to have live’ for, to have seen him smile. It is as thougt a rare porcelain lamp were suddenly illu minated with a clear radiance within, sc white is the livid face, so briiliant the deep-set eyes. “If you are really good enough to be in- terested in so small a thing,” he said, “it is easily told, and in a few words. During our trip abroad, the physician's orders were merciless. Breakfast was to be taker in bed at the late hour of half-past eight All necessity for such a lazy habit of life has now passed away, however. We rist about half-past seven, attend morning ser- vice at the village church, to which, as i is scarcely a mile away, we usually walk After that we breakfast, although, I ar ashamed to say, I have sometimes of late felt the necessity for a cup of tea or coffee. which is kindly given me at the rectory, i!

It was thus that I read, a cou- ple of months ago, the life of Prof. Owen. with extreme enjoyment and profit. I have found my pleasure in some atiempts at literary labor, and, therefore, I can scarce- ly refer to it as work whea I say that } spend some hours before luncheon in writ- ing. I am at present engaged upon a new edition of Bishop Butler, who, to my mind was one cf the noblest men and wisesi writers who ever biessed the earth with his influence. This work, if I must call it so, has brightened my few holidays for the past ten years. I have heard that another book on much the same lines will soon be ready for publication, probably before my own can possibly see the light, but I de not for this reason allow myself be dis- couraged. I shall persevere untif the end is reached.” “You sometimes read novels, do you not, Mr. Gladstone?” one of us asked. “Yes, I allow myself some light reading usually each day, after dinner. I think the two, perhaps, which have seemed to me the most worthy of reflection during the past year have been ‘Esther Waters’ and “The Year of Jubilees." Both seemed to me strong and able works, which ought to live, when many of their contemporaries are forgotten.” “It is wonderful that you find time to do so much,” I said, amazed. “Perhaps it is because he is so punctual, and expects everybody else to be so,” smiled Mrs. Gladstone. “He is always ready for everything, and does everything very; quickly. For instance, he can dress for dinner, quite fully, in less than five minutes. I cannot myself conceive how he does it, though I am not one to waste much time, or encourage others to waste it, on personal adornment.” “I wonder if we might dare to ask wheth- er you ever glance at any of the—er—pic- torial representations of yourself in the newspapers and magazines?” asked, trembling. “Caricatures, you mean,” he said, smil- ing again. ‘Well, you see, one cannot do everything, especially so old a man as I, and so, as I must give up something, I have of late years given up the newspapers almost entirely. Even when I do make an exception to my general rule by reading and one, I find other subjects far more inter-~ esting than what may have chanced to be said of me. But I fear that Mrs. Gladstone does sometimes look to see how the jour- nals have represented me. I think, at one time, she had even gone so far as to make a small collection of sketches, with what object I am somewhat divided in opinion. However, I am quite sure that she has ceased so to amuse herself long ago. “Do you ever go to the theater, Mr. Glad- store?” I asked. “I scldom find myself equal to or inclined for theater-going of late, but I cannot go so far as to say that I have given it up. confess, hcwever, that a quiet game of backgammon in the evening, when I have laid aside a book, has for me a great charm. It is a game which can scarcely be excelled by any modern invenition—assur- dly not superseded.” ill you tell me what fs your favorite study?” I inquired, emboldened by his good nature. “There are many answers which I might be tempted to give to such a question,” re- pled Mr. Gladstone; “yet the one which I would regard afterward with the most sat- isfaction would be—theology. It has been the study of my life, though I am at eighty-five but on the threshold, as a “learner. Over that threshold I may only pass with death.” I was wondering, knowing what a lir- guist Mr. Gladstone is, whether he would not mention the study of languages. But evidently he did not care to rank it with theology. And so, without questioning him further on that subject, I ventured hdstily to ask what was his opinion of the “New Woman” and the stir she is creating in the world. “I am too old a man,” he returned, have an opinion of any kind on the ‘New Woman,’ as I consider that the exponent of certain doctrines is erroneously styled. My ideal woman has not altered in the past three score years and ten, and I may affirm positively that it is not probable she wil} do so in the time that is left.” ———_-+e+ OHIO FISHERMEN INDIGNANT. Their Nets in American Waters When Seized by Canada. It is probable that some action will be taken by the Cleveland fishermen in ref- erence to the seizure of a large number of gill nets by the Canadian patrol steamer Petrel on Friday last. The nets were all owned by Cleveland parties. E. R. Edson of the firm of Edson & Company, in speak- ing of the matter, said: “If, as we now be- lieve, our fishing nets were in American waters and the seizure made by the Ca- nadian patrol steamer Petrel was. unlaw- ful, we intend to bring the matter to the attention of the authorities at Washington and make a game fight.” The charts used by the fishing tugs are those issued by the Rand, McNally & Co., and, according to these, the nets were lo- cated in American waters. A tug will be gent out with a government chart to verify the correctness of the Rand & McNally chart, and if it is found the nets were on the American side the fishermen will at once bring the matter to the attention of the government authorities. —___+e-+______.
