THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JULY 29, 1895—-TEN PAGES. Dolid Gold Given Away! To everybody purchasing lots from us this week we will give a Handsomely Chased and Engraved Solid Gold Watch, Stem-winder and Setter. There are just 15 of these beautiful watches left out of the 75 we had, which were taken from a large importer in ex= change for lots at Tuxedo. It’s rather an expensive way of doing business, we’ll admit; still we feel grate- ful to the Washington public. For when we look back (but a few months) and think what Tuxedo was then, and is now, a rapidly growing suburb, with houses springing up everywhere, we can afford to be generous. Is it any wonder, then, that we are proud of our achievement, for the success of this beautiful suburb is on everybody’s lips. You hear of it ON THE STREET, IN THE CARS, AT THE CLUBS; in fact, everywhere you go. Remember, a chance like this don’t come every day, so grasp it while it is still with- in your reach. For it’s only a question of days, per= haps hours, before every lot is sold. Just think what you could have bought property for around Dupont Circle a few years ago. Well, prop= erty at Tuxedo will become just as valuable in course of time. Every day we hear tales from our custom= ers of what property could have been bought for a few years back.. They are now taking time by the fore- lock and investing their money in this pretty suburb. Some people say how can we afford to sell lots so cheap? The secret is, we buy our land cheap and sell it cheap. If you are seeking a lot for a home or investment all we ask of you is not to purchase anywhere before see- ing these.

In the race for the smaller yachts Mr. Howard Gould's Niagara sailed oven the course for half the prize money. ea Se AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Am Insane Woman Jumps From the Aqueduct Bridge. While suffering with violent dementia Mollie Young early yesterday morning threw herself from a second-story window of-a house in Rosslyn, at the Virginia end of the Chain bridge. She struck the ground with a thud, but instantly arose and ran, screaming, toward the bridge. She had nothing on but thin night clothes. Persons saw tha fleeing, screaming woman, and, thinking she had been assaulted, ran toward her to inquire the trouble ang offer pro- tection. The appearance of others gave more rapidity to her movements. She fled toward the middle of the structure, and, without a moment's hesitation, mounted the rail of the bridge add leaped into the river, fifty feet below. She struck near the coffer dam. There was a cry, a splash and silence. Men's voices were then heard, and Edward Cumberland, tae night engineer there, was heard to call loudly for assist- ance to rescue the would-be suicide. The watchman on the bridge, Owen Lawson, responded. There were hurried words spoken, the situation was understood, and in a remarkably short time the demented woman was lying on a protected portion of the coffer dam, She had been saved in a hurry, but with extreme difficulty. A boat conveyed her to the shore, and the patrol wagon to the station. There the woman was found to be violently insane. She was turned over to one of the Washington police matrens to await an investigation of rer case. The wcman has been employed as a serv- ant at Fort Myer, and an effort will be made to secure her accommodations at St. Elizabeth's. Aside from the high nervous- ness generated through her mental condi- tion, and the shock attending the excite- ment of her leaps, the woman does not seem to have- been affected by her wild attempts to kill herself. SS Ball Fighting ut the Atlanta Exposi- tion. To the Editor of The Evening Star; As one ,who took an. humble part in a crusade ade in Paris to stay ‘the spread of the Sparfsh bull fight, brought into France thrpugh the exposition of 1889, per- mit me to recall at this very appropriate time—when the same baneful error ts being committed at Atlanta—some instructive history. This moral scourge, as it eventually proved to be, began in a small arena, in a mitigated form, and under the usual guise, or disguise, of an “‘illustration of foreign customs.” For this educational (?) purpose torture was authorized, so long as the kill- ing—for the bull must atways be killed— was not done before the audience. But very soon the public began to clamor for a fuller “illustration,” just as they will at Atlanta. They wanted it done as it was in Spain. One day the queen regent of that country attended, and, in her honor, the bull was slain in full view. I do not recall other at- tendant circumstances fully. They were at least sufficiently brutal to cause a suspen- sion of further slaughter within the ring on the one hand, and to excite a morbid public craving for “the real thing” on the oihe! Capital was forthcoming, and a vast ai phitheater was built without the jurisdic- tion of the exposition authorities. Noted matadors were imported at high salaries, and, before a year had passed, “the arena’’ was a popular fixture, packed with a wealthy and fashionable audience, who cried, “Bravo, Toro,; just as they do in Spain. Excited women—not all Parisians— even weft so far as to have their lace handkerchiefs dipped in the blood of the victim! These particulars, and many more of the same nature, are all recorded in the Paris-New York Herald of that period. It soon appeared to this wide-awake newspaper that, if the managers of the arena proposed to go to any length that the supineness of the authorities would allow, something must be done to mitigate the effects of this object-lesson upon young Americans. The gallant fight it made for this end stands to the everlasting credit of American journalism. Its columns were thrown open to a full discussion, and coupons issued for a poll of the foreign vote, upon whose patronage the hotels and stores so largely depended. This vote was overwhelmingly against the arena, the indispensable -Ezilishmen de- claring unanimously that, if there was any further goring of man’s best friend—the horse—they would boycott the city. There was, however, much violent lan- guage used on the other side, one American woman going so far as to declare that the sport could not be too exciting for her, and that she looked forward to the time when “puritanical cant” would be wiped out, and bull fighting be as free in New ‘ork as it was in Madrid! . The advocates of iumanity finally tyi- umphed so far as io vestrict the more brutal features of the sport; but the bull fight has not yet been driven from France, nor will it be perhaps in this generation. Is there not some lesson for us in this? Has not our government—if humanely dis- posed—some statute it may apply? Would it have to strain interpretations jn the least to class this curse as “immoral?” Will we be even as powerful as France to suppress it, when once, like the prize fight, it has made for itself a popular backing? Is it well to quibble as to the meaning of “im- moral,” when unscrupulous specuiators, under cover of a more glaring quibble as to what constitutes an “illustration of cus- toms,” proposed to set up, at a public ex- position, a school in which the young may be inured to the sight of blood and suffer- ing?_ Are the annual butcheries with which the King of Dohomey amuses his foreign guest any less a “national custom” than the Mexican bull fignt? Shall the exposi- tions, while conducing to material growth, on the one hand, be permitted to hasten moral decline on the other? It requires no gift of prophecy to foresee that all these questions must be answered and with in- finite trouble hefore we have done with this bull pen at Atlanta, and it appears to the hat all good people should unite to nn an answer now.

Wilkins, will be printed in The Saturday, Avgust 8, themselves in a. moreg ;yivid BY STANLEY J. WEYMAN. (Copyright, 1805, by Irving Bacheller.) (Continued from Saturday's Star.) “Not dead yet?’ the king’sald. No, sire.” “Nor ill? ‘No, sire." “Then begone. Or, stay!” Henry con- tinued. “Throw the rest of this stuff into the fireplace. It may be harmless, but I have no mind to drink by mistake.” La Trape emptied the cup among the green boughs that filled the hearth, and hastened to withdraw. It seemed to be too late to make further inquiries that night; so, after listening to two or three explanations which the King hazarded, but which had.all too fanciful an air in my eyes, I took my leave and retired. Whether, however, the scene had raised too violent a commotion in my mind, or I was already sickening for the illness I have mentioned, I found it impossible to sleep, and spent the greater part of the night in a fever of fears and forebodings. The responsibility which the king’gppres ance east uponenie lay so heavily upon my waking mind that I could not lie, and long before the king’s usual hour of rising I was at his door inquiring how he did. No one knew, for the page whose turn it was to sleep at his feet had not come out, but while I stood questioning the king’s voice was heard bidding me enter. 1 went in and found him sitting up with a haggard face, which told me before he spoke that he 48t.

By and by, when you ‘have broken your fast, you will think different! “But, it may be, less correctly,”” he an- swered, and as he sat looking before him with gloomy eyes he heaved'a deep sigh. “My friend,” he said, mournfully, “I want to live, and I am going to dfe.” Bere “Of what?” asked gaily. “I do not know, but T dreamed last night that -e-houge fell on’ me in the Rue ate Ta Ferronerie, and I cannot help thinking that T-shall die’ in that wa: “Very well,” I sald. that.” He asked me peevishly what I meant. “Only,” I explained, “that in that case, as your majesty need never pass through that street, you have it in your hands to live forever. “Perhaps it may mot happen there—in that very street,” he answered. “And perhaps it may not happen yet,” citi and bade and I earry out bien’ he was I could fhe “It is well to know I rejoined. And then, ore seriousiy, “Come, sire,” I continued, this sud- den weakness? I have known you face death a hundred times,’ .“But not after such a dream as 1 had last night,” he said, with a grimace; yet I could see that he was already comforted. “I thought that I was passing along that street in my coach, and on a sudden, be- tween St. Innocent’s Chureh and the no- tary’s—there is a notary there?” “Yes, sire,” I said, somewhat surprisod. “I heard a great roar, and something struck me down, ard I found myself pinned to the ground, in darkness, with my inouth full of dust, ard an immense beam on iny chest. I lay for a time in agony, fighting for breath, and then my brain seemed to burst in my head, and I awoke.” “I have had such a dream, sire,” I said, ryly. “Last night?” “No,” I said, “not last night.” He saw what I meant, and laughed; and being by this time quite himself, left that and passed to discussing the sirange affair of La Trape andethe milk. “Have you found, as yet. who was gcod enough to sup- ply it?” he asked. “No, sire,” I answered. “But I will see La Trape, ‘and as soon as I have learned anything your majesty shall know it.” “I suppose he is not far off now,” he sug- gested. “Send for him. Ten to one he will “You saw it,”)3:Exciaimed. have made inquiries, and it will amuse us.” I_ went to the door,"and, opening it a trifle, bade the page who waited send La Trape. He passed on’ the message to a crowd of sleepy attendants, and quickly, but not before I had game back to the king's bedside, La Trape ent Having my eyes tus hed the other way, I did not at once retgark anything. But the king did; and his look of astonishment, no less than the exclamation which accom- panied it, arrested my attention. “St. Gris, man!” he cried. “What {s the matter? Speak!” La Trape, who had stopped just within the door, made an effort to do so, but no sound passed his lips, while his pallor and the fixed glare of his eyes filled me with the worst apprehensions. It was impossible to look at him and not share his fright, and I stepped forward and cried out to him to speak. “Answer the king, man,” I sald. “What fs it?” He made an effort, and with a ghastly grimace, ‘‘The cat is dead!” he said. For a moment we were all silent. Then I looked at the king, and he at me, with gloomy meaning in our eyes. He was the first to speak. “The cat to whom you gave the milk?” he said. “Yes, sire,” La Trape answered, in a volce that seemed ® come from his heart. “But, still, courage!’ the king cried. “Courage, man! A dose that would Kill a cat may not kill a man. Do you feel Il?" “Oh, yes, sire,” La Trape moaned. “What do you feel?” * “T have a trembling in ail my Mmbs, and ah—ah, my God, I am a dead man! I have a burning here—a pain like hot coals in my vitals!” And, leaning against the wall, tpe unfortunate man clasped his arms around his body and bent himself up and down in a paroxysm of suffering. “a doctor! a doctor!” Heary cried, thrust- ing one leg out of bed. “Send for Du Lau- rens Then, as I went to the door to de 80, ‘an you be sick, man?’ he asked. “Try! “No, no; it is impossi le!” “But try, try! When did this cat die?” ‘It is outside.” La Trape groaned. He could say no more. I had opened the door by this time, and found the attendants, whom the man’s eries had alarmed, in a_ cluster round it. Silencing them sterrly, I bade one go for M. Du Laurens, the king's physician, while another brought me the cat that was dead. The page who had spent the night in the king’s chamber fetched it. I told him to bring it in, and ordering the others to let the doctor pass when he arrived, I closed the door upon their curiosity, and went back to the king. He had left his bed and was standing near La Trape, endeavoring to hearten him; now telling him to tickle his throat with a feather, and now watch- ing his sufferings,in silence, with a face of gloom and despondency that sufficiently be- trayed his reflections. At sight of the page, however, cerrying the dead cat, he turned briskly, and we both examined the beast, which, already rigid, with staring eyes and uncovered teeth, was not a sight to cheer any one, much less the stricken man. La Trape, however, seemed to be scarcely aware of its presence. He had supk upon a chest which stood against the wall, and, with his body strangely twisted was muttering prayers, while he rocked self to and fro unceasingly.

I exclaimed. “How? Where?” “Here, your excellency,” the boy answer- ed, qualling a little. “What? In this rcom?” “Yes, excellency: I hear a noise about— I think about 2 o’clock—and his majesty breathing very heavily. It was a roise like a cat spitting. It frightened me, and I rose from my pallet and went round the bed. 1 was just in time to see the cat jump down.” “From the bed?” “Yes, your excellency. jesty’s chest, T think.” Are you sure tht it was this cat?” “Yes, sire; for as soon as it was on the floor it began to writhe and roll and bite itself, with all its fur on end, like a mad cat. Then it flew te the door ard tried to get out, and again began to spit furiously. I thought that it would awaken the king, and I let it out.” “And then the king did awake?" , Your excellency I said, smiling, “this ac- counts, I ¢hink, for ycur dream of the house that fell, and the beam that lay on your chest.” It would have been difficult to say wheth- er at this the king leoked more foolish or mere relieved. Whichever the sentiment he entertained, however, it was quickly cut short by a lamentable cry that drove the blood from our cheeks.

Those who do these things are devils, not men. Where is Du Laurens? Where is the doctor? He will perish before our eyes.” ‘Patience, sire,” I said. “He will come.” But in the meantime the man dies,” No, ro.” I said, going to La Trape, and touching bis hand. ‘Yet, he is very cold.” | Aid turning, I sent the page to hasten the doctor.

A page who had taken the other's place was sup- porting his head, and two or three of my gentlemen, who had come in unbidden, Were looking on with scared faces. I went to the poor fellow’s side, and asked what I could do for him. “I am dying!" he muttered, turning up his eyes. “The doctor! the doctor!” i feared that he was passing, but I bade him have courage. “In a moment he will be here,” I said; while the king in distrac- tion sent messenger on messenger.

Pilling. ” Funeral services over the remains of the late James C. Pilling were held this morn- ing at his late residence, 1343 15th street. The associates of the deceased in the geo- logical survey and bureau of ethnology, as well as representatives from literary and selentific circles, and personal friends, were present. Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, the pastor of.the Western Presbyterian Church, officiated. Aa address was delivered by Dr. Marcus Baker, giving an appreciative sketch of the life and character of"the de- ceased, as well-as of his services as a scien- tist.

At a meeting of the former associates of Mr. Pilling in the bureau of ethnology and geological survey, which was held in the office of the seological survey Saturday, resolutions were adopted which tesijiel to the esteem in which the deceased was held and appreciation of his character. It was directed that a minute of the action taken should be sent to the widow. Prof. W. J. McGee presided and Dr. Marcus Baker was the secretary. Massey Gets a Verdict. The jury in the Massey-Pilot libel suit, at Norfolk, Saturday rendered a verdict: in faver of Massey, awarding him damages to the amount of $1,600. The amount claimed for alleged damages was $50,000. The ver- dict is'against Sam Small and R. E. Byrd and the Pilot Newspaper Company, clear- ing the directors of the Pilot. The suit grew out of publications in the Pilot, then edited by Sam Small, formerly well known as an evangelist, charging bribery against Massey, who is superintendent of public in- struction of Virginia, in connection with the state’s dealings with what is termed the American School Book Trust.
