And in order that it may be deter- mined whether all beef exported has been so inspected and found to be sound and wholesome, it is further ordered that the meat of all other species of animals, which for any reason does not bear the inspec- tion tags and stamps of this department, hall be packed In barrels, cases or other packages which are tbly marked in such manner as to clearly indicate the species of animal from which the meat Was produced. Meat which is not so mark- ed and which is not accompanied by a certificate of inspection will be classed as uuinspected beef and will not be allowed exportation. otice Is hereby given to exporters of meat, whether said meat is fresh, salted, corned, packed or otherwise prepared, and to owners and agents of vessels upon which said meat is exported, that no clearance can be given to any vessel having on board said meat until the provisions of this order are complied with.

From the Westminster Gazette. A valuable present for Prince Bismarck’s eightieth birthday, offered by the German gymnastic clubs, has only just arrived at Friedrichsruh. It is a carved oak panel, a yard square, bearing in the center the gymnasts’ cross in gold, on a red and white background. Under It, on a silver plate, are engraved the words, “The unity of Ger- many was the dream of my awakening lfe, the sunrise of my youth, the sunlight of my manhood, and it is now the evening star which beckons me to eternal rest.” Below the inscription a silver-gilt wreath incloses the dedication: “To the Creator of German Unity end of our Fatherland, in deep gratitude, from the German Gym- nastic Soctetie: Prince Bismarck, in sending a letter of thanks to the repre- sentatives of the societies, regrets that his state of health prevents him this year from receiving the donors in persons, but hopes for better Iuck next year! Faithful to His Vow. From the Baltimore Amerfean. Michael Bocchino last night celebrated his recovery from a serious iliness twenty- eight years ago. He made a vow to the Virgin Mary to observe August 28 of each year as a holiday if he recovered from his flness. Upon the altar which he had erected near his home, Sth and Bank streets, Highlandtown, he therefore cele- brated the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. A large crowd of people was pres- ent to witness the event. They saw the statue of the Virgin taken from the altar by a giri robed in white, and then carried at the head of a vrocesston through the streets of the suburb. The'line was form- ed with two boys carrying banners at the Lead, then a hand, and finally a large number of children. The statue was re- placed when the procession returned to the starting point. After that a display of fireworks Was made, a sheep was rafited off at 25 cents a chance, and the festivities were at an end. ee An Afterthought. From Truth. He—“I never saw anything like this tide. Here I’ve been pulling steadily for ten min- utes, and we don’t seem to have moved a foot.” She (after a pause)—“Oh, Mr. Stroker, I've just thought of something—the anchor fell overboard a while ago, and I forgot to tell you. Do you suppose it could have caught on something?” sos National Differences. From the Indianapolis Journal. “Haw,” said the son of Britain. “While you fellaws heah run for office, we in the old country merely stand. We have more digrity, you know.” “Yes,” answered the impertinent Ameri- can, “and while our candidates merely dodge the issues, yours dodge bricks.” DEMOCRATIC DAY. ‘Mr. Hurst Visits the Prince George’s County Fair. Correspondence of-The Evening Star. “ UPPER MARLBORO’, August 29, 1895. The crowd yesterday was the largest that has visited the) fair since ft was in exis! ence. John E. Hurst, the democratic can- didate for governor, came down, accom- panied by Mr..M. D. Smith and several politicians, on the morning train, and was @ drawing card! for the affair. He stayed on the grounds all day, end met a number of farmers, all of wnom are anxious for reassessment. ‘The rain which fell on the track, as was anticipated, made it much faster by four'or five seconds than it would have been if it had not rained. The crowd was an orderly one, and but few of the toughs, evidently citizens from over the island, caused any trouble. One of this class of sports attempted to shoot the chief of police of Marlboro’, Samuel E. Sweeney, but got fooled. It seems that Mr. Sweeney had taken off his uniform and was walking about sizing up the crowd in citizens’ clothes. During his peregrinations he ran against @ fellow that looked suspicious and he ordered him from the grounds with a warning that if he went to Marlboro’ he would be arrested, when the fellow com- menced to abuse kim, and Mr. Sweeney concludvd to arrest him at once. With this Durpose in view he started for him, when the darkey pulled two guns, after he found out that Mr. Sweerey was an officer, and made a fight for his life. Mr. Sweeney politely knocked him down with his club 43 he attempted to shoot his pistol, handcuffed tim ard sent him to jail. He will be tried today. Two more were arrested, but the charges are not serious. Some of the horsemen are kicking because they were fined $5 yesterday for monkeying at the post, and a race was declared uff because a jockey had pulled his horse. Today is the republican day, for Mr. Lowndes, republican candidate for governor, and friends are expected. —_—-_—_ A Big Gun. From the Sam Franciseo Post. “Talkin’ about your big guns,"” remarked Frank Timms, the Petaluma pothunter, “ reckon I owned the biggest gun—barrin’ cannon o* course—that ever struck the coast. I’m talkin’ about sportin’ guns now, not them thunderin’ big chimleys they have on ships that'll throw a base-burnin’ coal stove fifteen or twenty mile an’ blow a hole in the water biggern Mount Diablo. “The gun which I'm mentionin’ of was a goose gun I invented myself fer use up in the Sac’ermento valley. I wanted some- thin’ that would sweep up a acre or two 0’ geese at one swipe, so I got a section o° six-inch water pipe, plugged up one end, loaded her with half a bushel o’ BB shot, straped it on my mule and started out. “I was a little eariy an’ couldn’t find a goose. They hadn't got out-on the feedin’ grounds yet, so I sat down an’ waited. Purty soon they come in clouds an’ lit all around me. There was forty acres covered with ‘em so thick that you couldn't throw a rock without hittin’ a goose, an’ the farthest one warn’t more’n forty yards from me. “Well, sir, I sighted my gun along so it would Sweep the field in good shape an’ touched her off by pullin’ a string.” : Timms paused. He did not care to reach the climax of his story too soon. -It might shock his hearers “How many geese did you kill?” “Not a blamed goose. The gun was so big an’ carried such a charge that the shot dropped straight 4lown to the ground and he mule, gun and all shot clear across the river into Sutter ‘county. If you don’t be- Heve it you cam go up there an’ see where the river is with Sutter county on one side an’ Yuba on the’ other.” Seas Flagged Just in Time by a Red Cow. Fiem the Philadelphia Times, Engineer Kirkman, who came in on the east-bound truin Jast night, reports an in- teresting occurrence. As he was running along at full speed, Kirkman says, his at- tention was attracted by a cow, whieh seemed to be coming straight down the track to meet, the train. He put his hand on the valve and puffed out three sharp whistles. Stil¥ the cow came on, bellowing at every step ana acting altogether in an unusual mantier » AAs much from curiosity as anything else, Kirkman ai lengih slowed up and sent the fireman on ahead to see what was the mat- ter with the cow. No sooner did the cow see that the speed was slackened, and that the fireman was going to investigate, than she turned and ran straight back down the track, stopping now and then, looking over her shoulder and switching her tail, as much as to say, “Come on.” The man followed, and by and by saw the cow stop short at 2 high trestle. Going up, he discovered another cow, which had fallen and got herself fastened’ in the ir tlework squarely across the rail. It took only a few minutes to release the animal, and the two friends, after plainly showing their gratitude, lost no time in scampering away out of dange! The Husband Neck. From the Brooklyn Life. There is scarcely a husband who, during the past four months, has not urged his wife to learn to ride a wheel. There is scarcely a husband of the lot who does not now regret that ne so urged her. He has feund that it has added to his nervous im- pairment in the ratio of about 50 per cent, and in addition thereto he has caught the “husband neck.” This strange malady is cavsed by the constant craning of the neck, generally to the left, to see if the wife of one’s bosom Is safe. Even after the husband has found that his wife has really become a skilled rider the habit re- mains. He can no more help turning his head at short intervals than he can help imagining that all sorts of dire di are befalling her. And there seems to be no cure for this. The natural one to sug- gest would be that a man’s wife should ride ahead of him. But no man, as yet, could possibly consent to this, both because it is his nature to lead, and also because he would thus expose his wife to the dan- gers of the road or side path, which he might avert by being in the lead. As yet the disease has only attacked those who are reaily fond of their wives. To what extent it will spread is, of course, depend- ent upon the number of such husbands. cS A Slip of the Tongue. From the Bostoa Commercial Bulletin. One of the popular preachers in New Yerk recently, in the impassioned delivery of a sermon, Said: “My hearers, there may be in the hearts of some of you a haif-warmed fish.” After the service one of the congrega- tion asked him what he intended to convey by that expression, “What!” exclaimed the good man, “did I say that? Why, I intended to say a half- xormed wish, not a half-warmed fish.” ——__+e+ His Historical Knowledge. From the London Journal. One day recently in a Dundee school the teacher was examining the class in history, and asked ont of the boys: “How did Charles I diet? 1 The boy patised! for a moment, and one of the other Yad¥, by way of prompting him, put his ’a: p to his collar, to sig- nify decapitation.’, Boy No. 1 at onde grasped, as he thought, his friend's méaning, and exclaimed, to the great amusement ‘of he class: “Please, sir, he died of cHolerd. f or SAN ae < Scenting the Body. From Pearson's Weekty. This is how“an ‘Arab lady perfumes her- self: In the por \of the tent or hut, as It may chance 0 le, a smali hole is exca- vated, sufficientlylarge to contain a com- mon champaghe Wottle. A fire of charcoal, or of simply glowing embers, is made with- in the hole, into which the woman about to be scented throws a handful of drugs. She then takes off the cloth, or “topa,” which torms her dress, and crouches over the fumes, while she arranges her rove to fall 28 a mantle from her neck to the ground, like a tent. She now begins to perspire freely in the hot-air bath, and, the pores of the skin be- ing thus opened and moist, the volatile oll from the smoke of the burning perfumes is immediately absorbed. By the time the fire has expired the scenting process is completed, and both her person and robe are redolent with incense, with which they are 40 thoroughly impregnated that I have frequently smelt a party of women strong- ly at fully a hundred yards distance, when the wind has been blowing from that di- rection. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN, Interesting Happenings on the Other Side of Rock Creek. A magnificent pair of dark bay horses have just been purchased for No. 5 cngine hose carriage, and will be known to the de- partment generally as “173” and “174,” and to the members of No. 5 as “Joe” and “Dick.” These horses take the places of the grays, who have seen service since 1886 in No. 5 company. One of the grays wil sttHl be kept as an extra, and yne har been sent to No. 1, to act in the same ca- pacity. The old team have aeen hard and severe service, particularly during the fire at Dyer’s saw mill, on 27th street between I and K. This fire occurred on a dark and stormy night in the fall of 3890. The hose carriage was driven very close to the bulld- ing. The wind shifted suddenly, the flames enveloped the carriage and the horses, and they and several of the men very nearly perished before they could be extricated, which was not accomplished until they had been terribly burned, and they hear the scars received then to this day. The men are sad at parting with their old favorites. Railroad Activity. The Washington and Georgetown railway have laid their track from the Free bridge to the market house. The Road Street Improvements. Great dissatisfaction exists among the residents of the heights. at the delay in completing the improvements on Road street, and they say as these are the only improvements vouchsafed to this section this year they ought to have been finished Jong ago. The sidewalks have been torn up and left in that condition about two months. They are absolutely impassable. Notes. Letters come every day from Potomac Commandery at Boston. All speak of the “glorious” time and honors being heaped upon the District Templars. Mr. Henry M. Sweeney, president of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of George- town, who has been confined to his home for several weeks, is reported as very much improved, and should the weather get a Little cooler he may be expected at the bank next week. Messrs. R. A. Casilear, and Douglas Simms are enjoying the pleasures of At- lantic City. Mrs. George B. Lockhart and Miss Ethel Lockhart are at Cape May, where they Tave been spending the month, and will return about September 1. —_—__ ‘ER BREAKS DOW. CAPT. SU} Senantional Scene in a Court of In- auiry. There was a sensational scene in yester- day’s session of the court of inquiry at the Brooklyn navy yard, appointed to deter- mine the cause of the damages sustained by the crulser Columbia in the Southamp- ton dry dock. 5 It 13 said that In the report which Capt. Sumner submitted to the Navy Department, relative to the damages the Columbia re- ceived at Southampton, he averred that the damages came from a structural weak- ness in th: ship. He testified yesterday that poor docking was the cause of the damage. Capt. Sumner gave the greater part of hig testimony from memoranda. Before he had finished the reading he broke down and cried. At the captain’s request Judge Ad- vocate Draper completed the reading of his statement. As the tears rolled down the bronzed face of the old commander there was not an officer in the room from Rear Admiral Valker down, who was not visibly affected. No officer was sent to examine the dock and appliances. This was a serious over- sight on my part, and one that I deeply regret.” Here was where Capt. Sumner broke down and wept. He was so overcome that he asked the judge advocate, Lieut. Draper, to finish the reading of his statement. In view of the report made by Capt. Sum- ner to the Navy Department, that the dam- age was caused by structural weakness, the answers to the next two questions caused a mild sensation among the officers in the court room. Q—The Columbla was in good condition when she went into the dock? A.—So far as I know, she was. Q.—Then the injuries she received were due to improper docking? A—Yes, I sup- pose they were. | Port Royal Dock Must Be Improved. The contractor of the Port Royal dock has been notified of the finding of the board of naval engineers, which recently ex- amined the dock, and notified that he must make good the defects. If the order is not complied with the Navy Department will do the work and withhold the contractor's pay for the co The board found the dock gates especially defective in that they were not strong enough to withstand the hydro- static pressure. — 2 +_______ Protecting Seals tn Russian Waters. ‘Fhe report from London that the British government has issued orders for the pro- hibitioa of seal fishing in certain of the Russian waters indicates to the State De- partment officials that Great Britain has entered into an agreement with Russia similar to that proclaimed between the United States and Russia on the izth of May, 1M. Our agre>ment, which provides that the understanding shall be of only temporary duraticn and can be changed at the Instance of either party, authorizes the seizure of vessels by ian author- ities and Hmits the fur seal catch. It is supposed that the treaty carries like provisions. See Consul Morse’s Report on Davenport. United States Consul A. B. Morse, at Glasgow, has written the State Department regarding the investigation into the cir- cumstances accompanying the death of Dana Davenport. Only a small note book was found on the body of the young man, and it was impossible to trace his move- ments since he had left New York. AUCTION SALES. FUTURE DAYS. RATCL TRUSTE!
