SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, ‘An alleged speak-easy in Congress eights, the existence of which has been for some time past suspected, was raided last evening by Se-gt. Anderson, with Off- cers Reagan, Allen and Marr, and the pro- prietor, Lucius Bicks, arrested and taken ‘to the Anacostia substation, where he was held to answer the charge of keeping an unlicensed bar. A large quantity of beer ‘was captured, and from the surroundings s would appear that considerable trade as enjoyed by the establishment. The beer ‘as taken to the station and will be pro- @uced as evidence. Immediately upon reach- ing the station Bicks sent for Lawyer M ef Hillsdale, and the latter tried for se’ eral hours to procure ball for his client, but was unsuccessful. ‘The warrant for Bicks’ arrest was sworn out by Mr. E.T. Eliott of Congress Heights, who had ascertained that frequently of late the services at the Congress Heights M. E. Church, of which the evangelist, Mr. ‘Robert H. Jcrdan, is superintendent, have been disturbed by drunken men, who both Messrs, Filiott and Jordan felt quite sure jwere getting their liquor In the neighbor- hheod. At last they notified Sergt. Ander- Son, and he promptly set a watch on the Place. This is said to be the second time that Bicks has been charged with keeping @ speak-easy—the first being about two years ago, but in that case the prosecution failed to secure a conviction. Justice Carroll W, Smith of Anacostia fwas taken to St. Elizabeth's Asylum for the second time in the last few months last night. Mr. Smith had been acting Strangely all day, but last night his con- uct became such that those nearest to ‘him felt compelled to report the matter to Superintendent W. W. Godding, and he fave the necessary authority for the un- fortunate man's readmission to the insti- tution. The arzangements for the proposed bazaar to be given by Anacostia Lodge, F. A. A. M., and Eiecta Chapter, Order of the East- rn Star, for the purpose of paying oft the lebt on the Masonic Temple, &c., are pro- essing nicely, and there is every reason to believe that the efforts of those who have the matter in charge will prove emi- ently successful. A warrant was yesterday issued out of ‘the Police Court for the arrest of William G. Taliaferro of Hillsdale on the charge of eeping a speak-easy, but was not served cause Taliaferro having heard of what fwas transpiring had fled when the officers Teached his place. Taliaferro was recently geleased from jail, where he was serving a wo months’ sentence for keeping a speak- asy, under the poor convict act. While in jail President Cleveland issaed a paper roviding for Taliaferro’s release from the sane asylum, to which place he had been Sent some months before, representations having been made to the President that Taliaferro was at the time an inmate of St. Elizabeth's. Thomas Alder of Anacostia, who has re- gently acquired considerable notoricty on @ccount of two alleged attempts at suicide, as mentioned in The Star, returned to his mother’s home yesterday afternoon and qwas taken in:o custody by Officer Allen on @ warrant charging him wich being dis- orderly, but was release] upon depositing collateral at the Anacostia substation. Walter E. Stewart, charged with petit larceny by Bernard McDonald, was arrest- ed yesterday by Officer Branson, and Wm. Fields, alleged to de a suspicious character, mwas arrested by Officer Allen, and both fwere taken to the Anacostia substation ard held for a hearing. Jacob Moore, charged with violating a health ordinance by burying a child without @ proper permit, was arrested yesterday by Officer Reagan, Considerable alarm was felt yesterday pnd the day before in the family and among ‘the friends of Mr. H. S. Stow of Jackson Street, which was caused by an excessive hemorrhage at the nose to which one of his little daugaters was subjected. The bleeding began early Wednesday, and de- spite every cffort the flow of blood could not be stanched until last night. ‘Phe funeral of the late Mrs. Lizzie Burr, twho died at the residence of her son, Mr. Charles R Burr, Tuesday, took place yes- terday, and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. H. T. Stevenson, pastor of Anacostia Baptist Church, of which Mrs. Burr had been a useful and valued member for a long time. —__——.-— LANGDON. Mrs. Sarah M.

The enlargement of the school building in Hyattsville is especially gratifying and of substantial interest to the patrons of the school in this village. Until within a few years the children of Hyattsville were obliged to attend the public school in Bladensburg, there being no public school in Hyattsville. Finally the county school commissioners rented some rooms over & store in Hyattsville and instituted a public school in them. This was better than hav- ing the children trudge to Bladensburg, but it was far from satisfactory. Public- spirited citizens began to agitate the mat- ter of inducing the county authorities to erect a school building, and as an induce- ment purchased by voluntary contributions and donated to the pyblic school estate of the county two eligibly located building lots on Johnson avenue as the site for a school building. The county authorities thereupon erected a one-story, two-roomed and large-halled school house, which, how- ever, was soon found inadequate to ac- commodate the increase in the number of school children. The county authorities were again petitioned to enlarge this building. This summer the commissioners appropriated the necessary amount to do this, and appointed the !ocal school trustees to provide the ways for doing it. ‘The trustees let the contract to Mr. Rich- ard Seek of Montgomery county, the low- est bidder, to raise the building and insert a story under it. This he has successfully done, and the building will be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the present school year. The handsome appearance of the recoastructed building {s an agree- able surprise to the residents of the vil- lage. Today Hyattsville has a large, four- roomed school building, thoroughly well built and an ornament to the town. Every indication points to a successful school Year. 5 Mr. John Miller of the county schoo! com- missioners, Mr. Thes. S. Stone, secretary to the county school beard, and Mr. Chas. H. Welsh, president of the local trustees, have left nothing undone to incite and further the work. The school building will float “the stars end stripes’ on the open- ing day of the school year, on which oc- casion the local trustees formally propose to turn the building over to the county school commissioners. A party of young men from Bladensburg left last evening in the sail boats the “Swan” and “Water Lily” for a lengthy fishing trip down the Potomac to Lower Cedar Point and other landings. They ex- pect to camp out and have a good time. ‘The party consisted of Chas. Parker, cap- tain; William Lynch, Frank Gasch, Barry Hoffman and others. They will be joined later by a larger crew. Mr. Early Baxter has been appointed teacher of the pubiic schcol of Brandywine by the trustees of that school. 'A colored camp meeting is now in prog- ress at T. B., and is being largely at- tended. Several small boys, while playing in front of the drug etore of Dr. Alfred H. Wells yesterday morning, smashed his large show window. Mes. L. H. Campbell has returned from a delightful visit of several weeks to Ocean City and Penn Mar. The road committee will have the side- walk on Johnson avenue raised in several places in order to make it level. be The coming fall will witness one of the liveliest and hardest fought campaigns that was ever held in this county. About the middle of next month the democratic and republican parties will both commence to organize clubs and start the political ball to rolling at a rapid rate. There is some dissatisfaction existing in both parties, two candidates on the republican county ticket being unsatisfactory to some members of that party, and the candidate for governor on the democratic ticket be- ing objectionable to some anti-Gormanites. The democrats carried this district for their candidates for Congress last fall by nine majority, which was the smallest that they ever received. Both parties now claim that they will carry the district for the state and county ticket. Mr. Andrew Foulke of Bladensburg is very ill at his home in that village. The coming of the electric railroad through Hyattsville is now a matter of certainty. The line will follow the direc- tien of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from Highlands to Riverdale, going through the property of Capt. Bartlett and Lily Park at Highlands, and through the places beloiging to James McFarland, Perkins and Robert Callahan, on railroad, or Bowie avenue, Making a slight turn at Mr. Hab- ercomb’s after passing his place and con- tinuing to Riverdale, where it will also follow the line of the railrcad through that village. A large force is now at work at the terminus of the District line at Rhode Island avenue extended, grading the pro- posed route for the read. It is thought that the road will be completed and that ears will be running in the early part of ext spring. Late last Wednesday night several per- sons residing on Maryland avenue, near the station, were awakened by hearing two pistol shots and loud talking b$ several rough characters in that neighborhood. After the shots were fired a man was heard to exclaim “Oh, I'm all right,” and then groan. A few moments later two more pistol shots were heard, followed by more groans. One of the persons who heard the shooting went to his front door and stood there scme time looking down the street, but could only discern a few dark objects moving off in the distance. The crowd was no dovbt drunkard playing a joke, but the affair is being quietly investi- gated. —_~>—__. ROCKVILLE.

Some of the mothers of Linden, Kensing- ton and Forest Glen met Wednesday at the residence of Mrs. Dr. G. W. Wright. This meeting was one of a series to be held for the organization of a Mothers’ Club. The object of the club is for general discussion and study of the best methods for the development of the mental and physical growth of children. Mrs. H. B. Bennett read a very exhaustive essay on the ‘subject, entitled “A Resume of Pray- ers, Senses and the Will.” Mrs. Bennett is entitled to a great deal of credit for her production. It shows that in its prepara- tion there must have been much study and research. The patrons of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad are jubilant at the prospect of a reduction in all commutation tickets to Washington, which Dame Rumor says will shortly be ordered. = Master Geo. M. Vinal of Washington has returned home after a month’s stay at Dr. Wright's. —— RIVERDALE. ‘The final survey for the line of the new electric railway between Washington and Laurel has been made through this village. The line will run west of the Baltimore and Ohio railrcad az near the track as the right of way of that rallrcad will al- low. The contract for grading the road of the electric railway for this section will be soon given out, and a force will then be employed to commence operations. Mr. Samuel Duvall of Branchville will be married to Miss Fannie Metzger of Hagers- town, Md., at Berwin Chapel, Chariton Heights, at 7 o'clock on the evening of the llth proximo. The ceremony will be per- formed by the Rev. Mr. Keller, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Wash- ington. The honeymoon of tne happy co} ple will be spent at Philadelphia, New York and Niagara Falls. This village has a main sewer on Jeffer- son avenue, into which the drain pipes from the various houses empty. There are also several small drains for carrying off the surface water from the different streets. A number of the houses are pro- vided with modern improvements. Railroad detectives are said to be still on the lookout for the person who threw a stone into the car window of a late train from Bay Ridge at this place about a month since and injured a lady, who was after- ward removed to a hospital in Washington for treatment. Ses TAKOMA PARK. The heavy rain which visited this place last night, lasting about half an hour, was of inestimable value to wells, vegeta- tion, &c., being the first rain fall in forty- three days, the heavy showers that have occasionally fallen during that interval in the vicinity passing around and beyond us.

Brom the Philadelphia Press. A year ago every one noted the European rage for the Persian pussy cat. One heard of fabulous prices paid for a genuine An- gora; kittens brought $75 apiece in London; Mrs. William K, Vanderbilt paid $1,000 for her grown cat, and so the rumors spread. It is no small wonder that the active, com- mercial brain of the American did not start into the business at once, but he evi- dently didn’t. The trade has been left to the women, and so far, only two notable “eateries” have been ‘started. Mrs. Clinton Locke, wife of an Episcopal minister in Chicago, has had one for the last year. 5 sold the cats for large sums, devoting the money to charity. Now she has abandoned the commercial aspect for the pleasurable side. She still keeps a number of cats and raises kittens, but only because she has grown so fond of the beau- ‘iful, intelligent creatures. Miss Nellie Wheatley has a successful “cattery” also in the windy city. She paid $150 for a pair of cats, waiting six months before her order could be filled. She got them through a Boston cat broker. The greatest expense is in stocking the cattery; after that an attic, two meals a day of cooked liver for the cats, three for the kittens, and as much milk as they all can drink is the only monetary outlay necessary. An An- gora cat is not more difficult to raise than an American house cat. Miss Wheatley hasn't lost one of her own raising. The essential point of an Angora is the golden color of its eyes; A perfectly white cat with blue eyes issthe finest specimen of the breed. When itis not deaf, which is cften the case, a yeHow or black cat, with the pure amber cyes, ig the next in value. The species is considered the most intelli- gent in the feline rwonkd and most loving and loyal. The fine poimts to be looked for are small, tasseled: eats, a well-developed ruffle under the chin, feathered toes, a large, sleek bush and the color of the eyes. A tint of green inrthesoptic of an Angora is a plebeian sign and detracts greatly from the valve of the animal. ‘As the demand for the Persian pussy cat is on the increase, it;might be well for some woman witha home, who had the time to give to raising them, to try the trade. At the rate which feline pets are growing fashionable the old maids will be let out of the espectal-opprobrium cast at them. Yet the greatest number of cats is keptuby ‘an old makt—or shall we term her who owns a new woman?—Miss Liberty, 500 of the animals in the treasury vaults at Washingtcn, for whose keep the gov- ernment pays. ee Hair Ropes and Snakes. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean, “There is a common superstition among western cowboys that a rattlesnake will not cross a hair rope,” said Superintendent Brown of the Philadelphia Zoological Gar- den the other day. “The cowboy doesn’t mind a rattlesnake much, anyhow, but when he has to spend the right in the open he frequently takes the precaution of en- circling his camp with a rope of this de- scription, and then goes to sleep with a quiet ind. I often wondered whether there was any truth In this belief, but never happened to have a hair rope and a rattlesnake handy to test it, until oie day d of mine came from the west, and gan talking on the subject. He had we a hair rope with him, and we decided to house. ry it on the shakes in the reptil We shut the building up, made a circle with the rope on the floor and put seven different species of snakes inside of the rope circle. Ever : ed over it as if it was then my friend has lost faith ia its protective pow- ers.” ‘An old campaigner says to a reporter for the Inter-Ocean that this was a poor test. “A hair lariat must. be made purposely for tais use, and the sharp projections of the butts of the hair be made promi- nent. A hair lariat can be, and is, made as smooth us any other lariat. They are strong, but useless as a protector from snakes. I have used one in places where snakes were so thick that half a dozen could be run from under a single bush, and never knew one to crawl over or inside my bed. +o+—___—_ ltnly’s New Princess. From St. Paul Italy is delighted with its new princess. The young Duchess d'Aosta does not despise popularity, and her charming smiles and graceful salutations deepen the impression which her appearance makes wherever she goes. During her stay at the Quirinal the inhabitants of the ‘Prastevere stood about in thelr thousands watching as eagerly for the passing of la Lelle duchesse as did the denizens of the old Roman palaces when she drove through the Pincio, the Rotten Row of Tiberland, and the gardens of the Villa Borghese. The bride also accompanied Queen Mar- gherita in those early morning strolls and shopping expeditions in which her majesty delights, and the French princess was much amused to find that, in their quiet tweed morning dresses and simple toques, she and ber royal relative could pass entirely un- noticed by the very people who were loud- est in their acelamations when they drove about in full toilet latey;in the day.

From the Gardeners’ Ghronttie. ‘A new race of roses has been introduced by some Paris growbrs. They belong to the Polyantha group—that is to say, they bear their flowers in trdsse# The new roses have the advantage. over the others of be- ing “perpetual,” and consequently they flower continuously all ghrough the sum- mer. This advan.age they owe to their origin, a natural cross (croisement naturel), observed In the Lyons Gardens, between the flowers of the first specimens of Poly- antha introduced from Japan, and some hybrid perpetual roses. By repeated and careful selections a new race of roses has been produced, which, like annuals, germin- ate, flower and produce seeds in less than a year. The term “dwarf” is justified by the height, which in adult plants is only about twenty inches, The flowers are sin- gle, semi-double, or double, in almost equal proportions, and present almost all the variations of color observed in cultivated roses. Flowering commences in the first year, and even a few months after sowing. This precocity is one of the most remark- able and interesting features of this new type. . A Chinese Woman Physician. From the Albany Argus. . The first Chinese woman doctor graduate of an American medical college to practices in Chira, and the second woman of her race to take an occidental medical degree is now on her way across the Pacific to her native land to inaugurate there a new era in woman's work among women. She is Dr. Hu King Eng, a woman characteris- tically celestial in every way, despite her nine years’ residence in the. United States. She has never discarded her quaint, rich native dress, and loves her own land best. She received her doctor’s degree in Phila- delphia a year ago, has spent the past twelve months in taking a post-graduate course and in obtaining actual experience in her profession, and a week ago she sailed from San Francisco for Foo Chow, where she will take up her life work as physician and missionary at the Woman's Hospital.
