I was a young girl in the school room when my father told me he was going to take me up to London to hear Charles Dickens read from his own works. I do not know why I was chosen rather than some of the elders of the family, but chosen I was, and we traveled up together from our country home, and dined at a restaurant, that we might take our place in gocd time at St. James’ Hall. The seats cost a guinea aplece. I was overwheimed at the thought of papa spending such a sum on me. It weighed upon me. Present- ly I blurted out my tharks for his gener- osity. He laughed and sald: “This is a great occasicn; It {s something for you to tell your grandchildren fifty yéars hence.” The great concert hall was crammed to suffocation. Suddenly there came a great hush, and Charles Dtckens’ slim, gentle- manly figure, in his evening dress, with his favorite cenellia in his buttonhole, ap= peared on jhe dais. He bowed and bowed repeatedly, and the audience—the guinea pudience—toared and cheered like plowmen for quite five minutes. He seemed pleased but very weary and frail, and he did not attempt to speak until, last, the noise quite subsided. Then his voice at first sounded thin and boyish, but later it grew more powerful and fuller of feeling. He read the “Christmas Carol” and selec- tions from “Pickwick.” It was rather a dramatic recitation than a reading, for he geemed to know it all by heart, and looked fer away down the hall and seldom at his book. The audience, too, knew the pieces well, and often roared out the end of a sentence before he had time to pronounce it. As we ccme away people in the crowd Were saving how fatigued and worn Mr. Dickens looked, and I believe he was not gble to fulfill his next engagement, so that this was literally his last, or last but one, bublic appearance. It was in March or at 1870, and he died on June 9 of that ear. ———— ee Government Receipts. National bank -notes received today for Fedemption, $270,949.

WEATHER BUREAU MAKES NO PROMISES This is the Month When Predic- tions Are Unsafe. THE STORM IN CANADA It is not as hot today as it was yesterday by about threedegrees. But it is hot enough for all the purposes of mankind. It is hot enough to make men disagreeable, and women fretty, and children peevish, and dogs dangerous, and soda fountains popu- lar, and laundres profitable, and breezes welcome. It is hot enough to make the folks at the weather bureau wonder how they can appease the wrath of those who Placed faith in the promise officially given yesterday that relief would probably come to the District this evening. That relief is not in ‘sight. To be sure, as just stated, it is not quite as hot as it was, but a difference of but three degrees does not mean much to a weary commu- nity, ready to drop for sheer exhaustion from the intense heat. Five degrees at the other side of the thermometer, however, would make a tremendous amount of dif- ference. It would change life into mere ex- istence and endurance into madness. That is where the difference comes in. Yesterday’s Storm a Fluke. The great storm that gathered in the Western skies early, yesterday afternoon Was a tantalizing fluke. It gave Alexan- dria @ good shaking up and raised the hopes of Washingtonians, but as it went sailing off to the south and gave down only a@ few drops of welcome moisture, the hearte of the people fell. In the evening there was another disappointment, as clouds gathered in the west and then scat- tered, and all hope of a good rain was gone. The weather map shows that the “low” that gathered a day or so ago is deter- mined to take a far northern course that yer. patie eer onement of the drenching ection o} badly. the country needs so ust now the storm ts centered - treme edge ®f the United States, ana it is only a slim chance that it may turn eud- Gerly in {ts course and swoop southward; cr @ secondary storm may form in the scuthwest, in the trough of the first one, and come careening eastward with a trali of moisture and cold air following it. Walking on the avenue was not such a Greadful task today as it was yesterday. It was comparatively safe to cross the as- phalted street without being reduced to gas or stuck fast in the soft pavement. Therefore, it is hoped that sleep will be peesible tonight. Not the New Temperatures. When it was found that the official rec- ords of the thermometer yesterday exceed- ed the average of a large number of in- strements in the business part of town the thought came that perhaps the bureau had begun to publish what Prof. Moore, the new erd of the Institution, calls ‘sensible tem- Peratures.” It was suspected that the bu- reau was trying to close the gap that has so long been supposed to exist between the official temperatures and those experienced by down-town folks. But this morning a Star reporter was assured that this was not the case, but that the 96-degree record was official and absolute, and that the new wrinkle of publishing the sensible tempera- tures would not go into effect until the first of October. leyBtss And as to promises—why, the bureau wisely makes none. Weather promises in September are like the proverbial pie crust. —. AMONG THE WORKINGMEN. Proccedings of Labor Bodies Met Last Night. Mr. Victor F. Montgomery last night re- signed his position as secretary of Carpen- ters’ Council, which held a large and en- thusiastic meeting at their hall, No. 627 Massachusetts avenue, and Mr. Frank Flynn was chosen to succeed him.

Considerable interest was aroused af the national irrigation congress at Al- buquerque, New Mexico, by a _ paper by Don J. Ramon de Ybarrolla of Mexico on “International Rights,” dwelling on vio- lations of the Guadaloupe-Hidalgo treaty by the United States.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS Superintendent Powell Says the Outlook is \ Exceedingly Bright. A Noticeable Increase in the Number of Pupils Expected—The New Business High School. Superintendent of Public Schools Wm. B. Powell returned to Washington last evening after a vacation of nine weeks spent in Ergland, Scotland and Ireland. He ts in excellent health and enjoyed his outing theroughly, it being the first he has taken sirce coming to Washington a rumber of years ago. To a Star reporter today Superintendent Powell stated that the outlook for the com- ing year is exceedingly bright, and he loks for a noticeable increase in the number of ptpils over those in attendance at the last seesion of the schools: Everything is in readiness for the opening Monday morning, according to Superintendent Powell, who does not think that the present spell of hot weather will have an appreciable effect upon the number of pupils who will report Monday. : Svperintendent Powell had just made an inspection of the new Business High School, fcrmerly the offices of the District of Co- lumbia, and expressed himself as highly pleased with the condition of the structure. “It is fifty per cent better than any quar- ters we have had in the past for the Busi- nees School,” he said, “and the sanitary ard other arrangements are all that could be desired. Although there are several finishing touches yet to be added, the school pill open promptly on time Monday morn- ne Meetings of the Teachers.

The demand today was not otherwise than encouraging. These tickets are for new scholars only, and may be obtained at all the school bulldings this afternoon from 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock and tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 4 p.m, to 6 p.m. Children holding tickets do not report until Tuesday morning next at 9 o'clock.

BOTH HUSBANDS ON HAND ——_o—__—_ Says She Sees No Harm in Her Actions. HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY —— To achieve two marriages within seven weeks, wiihcut a death or divorce interven- irg, 1s a record of which any girl with a metrimonial turn of mind might well be proud. That is the record that Miss Maude Lilly has earned for herself, and the story of her experiences, as it came out in court today, is a mcst remarkable one. Miss Lilly, or Mrs. Goodman, or Mrs. Crosby, hails from Pottsville, Pa., but che has relatives in this city, and has spent censiderable time here. About a year ago she accepted an offer of marriage from a young man who lives in Washington by the name of George W. Crosby. Her moth- er did not approve of the match and urged her to plight her troth to Mr. John V.Good- man, who was a Pottsville man and better known to her. But Maude loved George better, and would not. For a year past she has corresponded regularly with Crosby and all was ing well. Mrs. Lilly's opposition to the marriage continued firm, and there was little chance of her relenting, so Maude finally gave in. The result was thit on August 2, 1895, she was lawfully married to Mr. Goodman by a minister in Camden, N. J. "He Grew Fonder. . But this did not stem the tide of affec- tion for Mr. Crosby, and she continued to write affectionate letters to him without letting drop a hint of her shy at matri- mony. After her marriage she went to live with her husband on Franklin street, Philadelphia, and all went well. But in the meantime absence made Cros- by’s heart grow fonder, and he began to think that it was time for him to get mar- ried. The result was that a few days ago he went over to Philadelphia to get his bride. and found her living there in com- fortable style. She said nothing about {having been married already, and as Mr. Goodman was off at his day’s work at the time the other man had no suspicion that he had a rival—a married rival at that, and already married to his fiancee. Married Again. Mr. Crosby suggested to the girl that ‘they come on to Washington and get mar- ried, withcut cry more delay, and to this she agreed at once. She stopped only long erough to pick up an excuse for a trous- seau and to write a note to her husband. 11 this she told him that she was coming or. to Washington for a couple of weeks’ visit, after which she would return to him. She aleo told him where to board in the imeentime, so that she might find him when she got back. Day before yesterday, short- ly after their arrival here, Mrs. Goodman anc Mr. Crosby got a marriage license and ‘went before Rev. Dr. Charles W. Baldwin, pastor of Wésley Chapel, by whom they were joined in the holy bonds of matri- meny. Goodman, who stayed tn Philadelphia, be- came suspicious that there was something wrong, and in some way he happened to hear of his wife's second marriage, and he came over to Washington as fast as an express train would bring him yesterday. There was a me2eting of the trio, which resulted in Crosby swearing out a warrant before Clerk Potts of the Police Court, charging the young woman with the serious offense of bigamy. In Court Toda: The case was tried in the Police Court this morning. Prior to the hearing the young woman and her two husbands oc- cupied seats in a corner of the court room engaged In an earnest conversation, and to all outward appearg@ces the best of friends all round. Clerk Potts read the information against Mrs. Maude Lilly-Goodman-Crosby as she stood up by ‘the railing. She held her hand up to her eyes, as though she was crying, but it was nSticeable that the tears were few and far between. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “I am guilty.” Mr. Crosby told his story. Mr. Goodman was not allowed to testify, as he is the woman's husband, and, therefore, not cli- gible as a witness. After hearing this remarkable story Judge Kimball ordered the young woman to be held for the action of the grand jury. Bond Was fixed in the sum of $500. Does Not See It. Miss Lilly, as she is called in the informa- tion,.is twenty-one years of age, and while she is not exactly a beauty, she is not very far from it, and her general appearance is decidedly attractive. In court this morning she wore a black serge skirt, a pink and white striped shirt waist and a summer straw hat, covered with roses. The two young men are both well-dressed, nice-looking fellows, neither of them over thirty years of age. Goodman is a steam- fitter by profession and gets good wages from a big Philadelphia concern. Crosby is a@ clever stairbuilder and lives at w0S E street. The most curious feature In the case is the fact that the young woman does not seem to realize that she has done anything unusual or at all out of the way. In con- versation with a Star reporter, after the hearing, she said that she supposed she would have to suffer the full penalty of the law, but she thought that it was a good deal of a hardship. “Why,” said she, in a most unconcerned manner, “mamma wanted me to marry Mr. Goodman and I wanted to marry Mr. €rcsby. Things became rather uncomfort- able, and so I thought the best way out of it was t> marry the man mamma wanted me to first, and then marry the man I wanted afterward. Now, I can’t see any harm in that, can you?

At the conclusion of the talk Goodman and Crosby went off to- gether. Crosby said that he would -en- deavor to secure bonds for the woman, 28 he did not wish ‘to have her stay in jail until her trial. Goodman could not help him in this, as he {s a stranger in town. When asked if he would apply for a di- vorce, Mr. Goodman said that he had not yet made up his mind. ——— Arresting a Bont. The marshal of the District yesterday af- ternoon arrested the steamboat City of Richmond at her wharf here on a libel filed by Wm. H. Keister & Co., who claim the sum of $703.28 for supplies alleged to have been furnished the boat. Lately the steamer has been running between here and Norfolk, Va., and is said to contem- plate such a trip tomorrow. It is expected that the owners of the boat will today or tomorrow file a.bond covering the amount of the libel until the 7th of next month, at which time the case will probably be heard. The boat is said to be owned by parties in New London, Conn.+ ——>—__ ' For an Accountin; A petition has been filed by the children and heirs at law of the late William Flet- cher, praying for an accounting by Anna C.

Officer Creagh Will Have to Answer Some Charges. Mrs, I.aura Thompson. who lives at 410 New Jersey avenve, was at the Commis- sioners’ cffice this morning for the pur- pose of entcrirg a complaint against Om!- cer Creagh ef the sixth precinct. Accord- ing to her statement, Creagh came to her house some time sgo while her husband was in New York and knocked at the door. It was 2 o'clock in the morning, and not knowing who it was, she opened the door and found Creagh with his partner. They pushed in the door.’and she told them to go away at once, that she was a respect- able woman end they bad no business com- ing to her house that time of night. Officer Creagf’s partner begged her to Ict them out the back door, because the inspector might be in front. This she refused to do, r.dding that as they had come in the front door they would have to depart the same way. The partner plead so hard she finally consented tc go olitside and see if the in- syrector wag there. The next day she was going to report the men, but friends pleaded so hard she did uot do 2c. Ever since then Officer Creagh, she says, has been pursuing her, and has arrested her boy Willie for doing nothing. Last night he was arrested for standing on-the street, and this morning, rather than appear in court, she paid $5 for his rélease. The Commissioners will investigate the case. ——.__. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. The Garbage Situatton. Next Monday morning the Commission- ers will give a hearing to Contractor War- field, and tnen and there decide what sy3- tem or sy3tems of cremation for garbage disposal will be acceptacle.to them. They will order the contractor to forthwith pro- ceed with the erection of the plants and push their construction as rapidly as poss!- ble. Everything has been ready for some time, but the Commissioners for some un- explained reason held the matter up. There is little doubt that the Smith system will be insisted upon by the Commissioners, and if two plants are decided upon they will allow the contractor to name the other sys- tem. He has already stated his pref2rence for the Brown system. Building Permits. Building permits were issued today as fcllows: M. A.

From the Agriculturist. “Horses are almost as superstitious as men, but, unlike men, they can be reasoned with and made broadminded, liberal, free thinking philosophers. The horse is the noblest animal that walks the earth. He has most of the good traits of the human race, with some of the bad ones.” It was Prof. Bartholomew who spoke in this ex- alted strain about the horse. “When a youth I was a cowboy, and one of the rough riders of the west. Like other cowboys, I delighted in a bucking broncho, but I soon learned that the wildest horse can be tamed in an hour so that he will follow his rider about and let himself be ridden without a struggle. I have tamed hundreds of horses fresh from the prairies, and never failed to make a complete con- quest in a short time. I treat horses as in- telligent beings, and after a manner ask them if they can do things. Often they re- fuse, and again they say as plainly as if they used words: ‘Why, yes, I can do that,’ and they do it. . “I train my horses in classes. I take a dozen and ask-.each to do a certain thing. Some will start blindly, while others will step up briskly and say, ‘Yes, I can do that.’ Ther I ask them to do something else, and then those who are quickest at first will halt, while those who made no re- sponse before are anxious to do the thing. Thus I soon learn the class of work each is especially fitted for, and develop them along their special lines. In this way they are just like men. Now, I have tried nu- T™merous ways to make a living outside of horses, but always fail and drift back to my hobby. “Horses are like men in the amount of courage they can muster up. If I want a horse to do extra long jumps, I select a creature that is finely built and has all the physical qualities, but perhaps he is a cow- ard and afraid to leap. Some little, half- developed creature ae sey with a dare- devil spirit may outdo him in every re- spect.”* ‘The Owners Fell Out. “For gale or charter—largest rteam yacht afloat; accommodates 300 people; speed 15 knots; greatest bargain ever offered.” This notice appeared In the columns of teveral New York newspapers a few days ego. Behind it 1s a story of a syndicate yachting trip of English noblemen to the Fjords of Norway, a falling out among the members of the party while in Norwegian waters, the abandonment of the trip, the sending of the yacht back to Liverpool and the return home by various routes of those who started out as one family. The yacht is the City of Richmond, formerly an In- man liner emplcyed in the trans-Atlantic service. She is of steel, 480 feet long, near- ly 60 feet beam and draws 26 feet of water. She is barkentine rigged and was built in the ‘70's. Her interior fittings in point of luxury and magnificence surpass anything ever seen in the regular liners. The City of Richmond cost the syndicate £240,000 and she ts for sale at £30,000. She can make twelve knots steadily on fifty tons of coal a day, or fifteen knots at forced draught. The owners number twelve, one of whom, it is said, is Lord Rosebery. * Pi eee Even Then. From the Indianapolis Journal. ‘Adam stood at‘the gate of Eden, looking out sadly at the new world. “Why don’t you aurry up?” he shouted. “I can’t for the life of me see why a wo- man never is ready in time. What the— serpent—is keeping you?” “JI can't get these fig leaves pinned straight,” was the reply of Eve in a voice that warned him to carry the discussion no further. FINARCIAL.

Fiom the Philadelphia Record. “It's safe to say that a basketful of finger rings are Jost at the seashore every season,” sald a habitue of the Atlantic coast summer resorts recently. “Many bathers never think to remove their rings from their fingers before taking a plunge in the surf, and when they come out, not a few find that the rings have slipped off in the water. Of course, they are irre- vocably lost in the sands. If the beach at Atlantic City, for instance, could be thrash- ed out or sifted, it would yield a gold mine, nct to mention a valuable store of precious stones of every kind.”
