Our boarding house last week received a severe social shaking up, and the friendly relations existing between the landlady, ‘The Star representative, who takes his oat- meal mush at the foot -of the table; the book agent, who sat at one side, and the two War Department clerks who sat at the other side, have become very much strained, because of a harmless practical Joke at the expense of one of the clerks. The wife of one of the department clerks— Jones is a good name—is visiting relatives in New York state, and Jones, like a good husband, was mourning her absence after the most approved fashion—trying to make time fly by putting in most of the evenings at meetings of his “club” and getting to bed along in the early hours of morning. Sozme- times the “club” met at Chevy Chase, some- times at Bethesda Park and occasionally at one of the river resorts—there were but two members, and it was no trouble to meet most anywhere, and the clerk was getting a heap of enjoyment out of it until the landlady gave him a severe look over her spectacles one morning and said: Mr. Jones, if you must work at your office late at night I wish you would try and make less noise when you come in.” He had evidently been trying to shut her eyes with the “late-office-hours” story, and the rest of the boarders smiled. He looked rather g:um a moment and replied: “Some other person has been disturbing you, madam, for I take particular pains to come in very quietly. Not a soul in the house can hear me when I come in.” ‘The book agent, who sat on the opposite side of the table, said everybody who was not sound asleep could hear him, and The Star man jokingly asserted that he had been disturbed several times. “Bet you the steamed oysters for the crowd that you don’t hear me when I come in tonight,” said Jones, as he glared over at the book agent. “That's a bet—If you come in,” responded the agent, and there the matter rested. The front hall and stairway carpets had been taken up and sent away to be cleane’ and footsteps gave a hollow, echoing sound as the boarders passed in and out of the front door. In the evening, shortly after dinner that day, the book agent had an interview with the colored servant in the kitchen, giving her a quarter for certain little things to be left on the dining room table that night, then went down town to while away the hours until bed time. About 2 o'clock the next morning there was a terrible crash in the front hall, fol- lowed by a din and clatter that woke up everybody in the neighborhood, and the landlady thrust her head out of an up- stairs window and screamed, “Pclice!’* After the aiproar had quieted down, and gas had been lighted all over the house, the boarders—en deshabil!e—congregated in the front hall and found there a tin wash boiler, about fifty tin pans and cups, and about a peck of white beans scattered on the stairs and hall ftoor. One end of a strong cord long enough to reach from the door to the top stair was tied to a handle of the boiler. and the other end carried through a screw eye fastened to the door easing and tied to the doorknob. Jones changed his boarding place early in the morning, and ne must have for- gotten all about the steamed oysters. oe A Midnight Chase. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Among the women who would scorn being called “the new woman" there are fine specimens of most advanced and ener- getic ability. A family not ten miles from the Louisville post office owns a very valu- able and highly cherished cow. She spends her days in a choice country pasture lot provided by the friends who love her, and* her nights in a luxurious barn attached to the city residence. The other evening the distressing news was brought in that Beauty was missin; she had escaped from her bluegrass bou- doit and had gone for a stroll. The fam- ily was perturbed, scouts were sent in all directions to find the stray pet Beauty, but with no results. The next night came and still no cow had been found; after the family had retired, the lady of the house was roused from troubled slumber by the mooli.g ot Beauty echoing on the moonlit midnigkt summer air. She feared by the time she awakened her husband the cow would have flown again, so she jumped into her slippers, threw a petticoat over her night dress, and scampered nolselessly down to the barn just in time to see the discouraged animal turning out of the alley to go down the street. There was no time for delicate reluctance to be felt. The lady in white flew out the back gate, sped a square after the flying cow, caught her and led her back to the barn in trium- phant joy. As the dame once more. climbed into her bed, the husband awoke to ex- claim: “Mary, where on earth have you been?” And Mary blithely replied: as ‘Chasing the cow down on Blank street.” THE WRONG INGREDIENT. Jim Had the Whisky and the Water, but His Mint Was a Poor Brand. Jim Wood—that isn’t his name, but it’s the next thing to it—is a very popular off- clal in one of the executive departments, and he knows a good thing when he sees it. But it has taken him a long time to learn%o know some of them. The first time Jim put a mint julep to his lips he was thoroughly captivated by it, and the preparation of the seductive de- coction was one of the things he set about to,master. He went often to the person he selected as a teacher, watching him nar- rowly as he mixed the ice, sugar and whisky, and noticed just how much of the mint he put in. “Z Keep some fine old whisky on my side- board, and I'll get some of that mint and manufacture my own juleps,” he thought. He tried it, and it was a first-class suc- cess. Then he bethought him of the large back yard at his, residence, up above R street, and he wondered: “Why not have a large bed of mint growing right at my back door Early in the spring “he hired a bright- looking colored boy to bring a lot of roots from a mint bed that the boy knew of, and, taking off his coat one fine spring morning, he laid his mint bed off in squares end put in the roots in true landscape gardener style. Then Jim took out his Sprinkling pot morning and evening, and the little green shoots began to ap- Pear he was as happy as a boy with his first pair of red-torped boots. Some friends sent him a case of Old Piper whis- ky, but he wouldn’t draw a cork. “Wait till my mint is up in full leaf; then I'll in- vite In some friends and surprise them," thought Jim. Then the cats of the neighborhood began to bestow rather more attention on Jim's premises than he thought there was any pressing need of—holding caucuses and conventions in his back yard every night— and between watching his mini in the day- time and “‘shooing” away cats at night, Jim began to lose flesh and get irritable. Finally, the mint was large enough to use, and, gathering a generous handful one evening, he took {t into the house and opened the first bottle of Old Piper. The mixture was put together just as he had seen his tutor down town do it many times, but somehow it didn't seem to taste right—the flavor was a little off. erhaps the fault is in the whisky thought Jim; and he took a nip of it wi out any frills. No, that was prime stuff— | and Jim was worrled. Then he went down town and took another lesson at the bar, but the second attempt at home industry was also a failure; so he went out: and called in a friend to consult with. “Go ahead and make a couple of juleps now, and I'll try and see where the hitch is," said his friend, as they were seated in Jim's dining room; and Jim got his handful of mint and placed it, with the sugar and ice, on the table. While he was getting the cork out of the bottle his friend picked up a sprig of mint, exam- ined it crit:cally a moment, and then tasted of It. Then he blurted out: “Thunder, Jim! You can’t make a mint Julep out of catnip!” “Cus3 my stupidity,” thought Jim the next morning as he was turning his “mint” bed upside down with a shovel; and even the cats must have been disgusted with him; for they left him in a body, and now they won't play in his back yard any more. a AH-AH-AH-TCHIEW! All the Passengers Took Part in the General Conversation. A representative of The Star was riding down the avenue toward Georgetown the other day in a closed car of the 14th street line, making a study of human nature, when he saw a very large lady come run- ring out of a corner drug store, with her arms full of packages, and commence ges- ticulating wildly for the gripman to stop the cars. As the cars came to a standstill she made a rush for the rear platform, dropping several small packages on the Favement, which were picked up by the obliging conductor, who followed her into the car and deposited them on the pile of merchandise she had on her lap. The car filled up gradually with passengers, and by the time 1ith street was reached a pungent cdor began to make itself manifest in the close atmosphere. AS the cars turned up 15th street a deli- cate little lady in one corner remarked “Ah-chew!" and a colored man on the op- poste side immediately gave the pronuu- ciation as “A—a—chiew!" Then a fat old gentleman with gray side Whis&ers joined in the dialogue by holding vp both hands and saying, “A—a—ah— "The Ia male then took a turn at it, and sald —aw—chee—he!” at the seme time wildly grabbing at her back hatr just in, time to prevent its Yalling down over her shouiders. A Chinaman timidly introduced himself as “Wah—ah=ah Shee!” and tried to join in the discussion, which was now becoming quite general. As the conversation seemed to be getting somewhat personal, and things appeared to be growing quite ‘breezy, here interposed a gertle “Eh—ech—eh—heu! and just then the cor. ‘-ctor stopped further proceedings by putting his head In the door and telling the passengers to “Change cars for Geo--Geo—Geo—Chew—hew, The large lady with the many parcels, to- gether with a number of other passengers, hurried ouc to take the Georgetown train, and as the lith street cars whirled around the corner into New York avenue a little package of Scotch snuff was found open and its contents scattered on the floor in the cente> of the car—evidently belonging to the lady of many parcels, and as the con- ductor carafully picked it up and deposited it In the street, he remarked to the police- man on the rear platform: “Ah—ah—ah—Tchiew —— “PLAY DAT MOCKE ‘The Surprise That Awaited Algernon E When He Serenaded. Mocnlight bathed the verdant sward in a flood of silvery light; a sweet wind did gen- tly kiss the trees, and they did make no noise. That is where the trees differed from Al- gerncn. He was making a noise. “While I beneath thy lattice keep, do touch my li-l-i-ght guitar,” he sang, and while so engaged he touched the light gui- tar, as intimated in his roundelay. “She hears me not,” he continued in plaintive strains; and such seemed to* be the case, forsooth, for no sign of approba- tion issued from the vine clad mansion, “Her spitit sleeps,” he was led to con- clude in a fortissimo tone of voice.

A tired-looking little woman, with ier thin cape spread out to protcet her burden from the rain, splashed thrcugh the mud on Mission street to a car last nignt. The platform was crowded with men who could not find a seat, but they made way for her and helped her into the packed car. She stood unsteadily in the aisle, trying to pre- serve her balance as the car bumped al “Keep still, dear,” she sighed, in a w tired voice, when a slight disturbance un- der the cape was observable. “Why don’t some of you fellows give that woman with a baby a seat?” growled a fat man who was hanging to a strap. Two or three men sprang up, and each insisted that she take his seat. She sank into one of the vacant places, thanked the man who had made way for her, and a frcwsy-headed: terrier sprang from under her cape and sat in her lap while he bark- ed at the fat man. ~ ———ee A Mental Stimulus, The first installment of the great mys- tery story, “When the War Was Over,” by Frederick R.

He Wants to Earn Enon, to Enable Him to Live 1 ly. There are fifty-five stipet pianos and two or three ‘targe han ans on the streets of Washington , and it is estimated, so a Star regibréer was told, that about $720 is paid eaéh week by resi- dents of the city for the pgiviiege of being entertained. All the inst: nis are owned and managed by Italians, travel as a general rule in pairs. Thege ‘people reside in two portions of the city.. Qne small col- ony {is situated south of the Capitol, and the other, which is the larger, on D be- tween 14th and 15th streets, It Is at these places that the genuine low class Italian life can be seen. The latter. locality has been named “Little Italy.” ‘There are only eight or ten habitable houses on the square, but in these live at least one hun- dred Italians. Many of them are engaged in pursuits other than that of “grindin’ de org,” and a few sell fruit and perform manual labor on the streets. The business of an Italian street piano player is remunerative. It is a bad man- ager, indeed, who is unable to glean at least $1.50 a day, and the receipts often aggregate $3 and $4 a day. This, when taking into consideration the fact that the pianos are procurable at a comparatively low price—$l45—and that it is necessary. to purchase a new one only once each year, is very profitable, especially to a class of persons who iu their native country con- sider themselves well to do if they are able to earn 40 or 50 cents a day. The Italian organ grinder is an interest- ing being. He ts industrious, enterprisirs, frugal, and, above all, law-abiding. His life is simple to a remarkable degree, but does not reach the point of self-denial. He is very little given to dissipation, and nis ecornings, for the most part, are placed away safely, where they may be used in the future to bring him comfort in his na- tive land. He is at all times looking for the “main chance,” and never loses an op- portunity to earn the small boy’s and little girl’s penny. Germany, Switzerland and France, owing to their close proximity to Italy, are the most attractive countries to emigrants from Italy, but the United States by no means loses its share of them. A remarkably large number ef them land on the shores of this country, but 50 per cent of them do not remain. Their ulterior object is to amass a sufficiently large amount of money to enable them to re- turn to Italy and spend the remainder of their lives in comfort and without labor. This Is especially the case with the street plano players. It is seldom that any one of them remains here longer than six or seven years, Their mode of living here Is very cheap. Their dress {s neglected almost to the point [ of repulsiveness, and their table is meager. Macaront and spaghetti, it is true, have their charms for them, but it is seldom, indeed, that these two products of the sunny country are found on their tables. The expense is too great, they » and it is only on special occasions that the two Gishes are eaten. Their miin means of sustenance cons’sts of boiled beef and bread, with a small quantity of beer oc- casionally. A one who visits an Italian planist’s house car find at any time a huge pot on the stove, containing a quan- uty of beef, which boils incessanily. This forms a dish somewhat in the nature of a broth, and, together with a small portion of the beef, is caten with a great deal of satisfaction. ‘The expense is somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 cents a day, and the cost of living after this fashion dces not exceed 25 cents a day. The musicians’ labors begin quite early and end late. At 8 o'clock they are upon the street, all traveling in different direc- tions. The instrumenis are not housed until 9 at night, when the time limit pre- scribed by lew expii During this period there Is very little rest. Not-a little time is consumed in wheeling the pianos from place to place, which is no easy task. ‘There fs an agreement between the crgan grinders as to the route to ve pursued by ezch one. To each plano is allotted a cer- tain territory, and the pianist is warned not to trespass upon the precincts of his fellow-“‘musician.”” Occastonally an infrac- tion of this understanding cccurs. The down town districts, however, are free from restriction, and’ each piano player is allowed full swing on any street he de- sires. ‘There are no resular rates, but a 5-cent piece senerally warrants the playing of about ten selection ee REWARD OF DEMERIT. An Improm, dent Decoys a Dol- lar Out of a Generous Pocket. A young tough was coming down 12th street a few evenings ago, just about dus! and espied a demijohn standing on th curbstone. A broad smile of satisfaction spread over his face, and seeing no one in the vicinity who appeared to be taking any particular notice of him he si@led up to it and lifted it from the walk. But his countenance fell at the sound of broken glass. The demijohn was a delusion and a snare, for while the outside wicker work was whole and in good order the glass ap- peared to be broken into smitherece! He deposited it on the walk again and continued or his way down street. Then a thought seemed to strike him and he hesitated a moment, then turned back. Going to the broken demijohn he took it up again and arvied it to the corner of F street and stood for some time peering furgively around ‘the corner toward the patent o fice, as though expecting somebody. And a Stur representative took a position bé- hind a neighboring tree box to see what would rest A well-rre ;ed oid gentleman was coming west on F street in something of a hurr: with his thoughts apparently deeply o cupied in business matters, when just be- fore reaching 12th street a shabbily dress- ed young man came hurriedly around the corner with a demijohn In his hand, and there was a collision. The young man was nearly thrown from his feet, the demi- joln was dashed to the sidewalk, and the crash of broken glass could be heard a square away “Goodness gracious!” gasped the old gentleman. “What in the w -ld have I done?” “My demijohn!” whined the youngster. “I was going after vinegar, and now I'll lose my place at the hotel because I haven't got any money to buy another with;” and ne glanced down with a look of dismay at the ruins. “My poor boy,” said the kind-hearted old gentleman, putting his hand into his pock- et. ‘‘Here'’—and he handed the young ras- cal a dollar. The rogue took his “reward of merit,” gathered up his stock in trade, and the last seen of him he was looking for an- other good business corner and another good-hearted victim. - —-—--— She Got the Coal. From the Sun Franclseo Argonaut. Of all the expedients devised by debtor: few have been more simple and effectual than that of a Mrs. Martin. She ordered a tor of coal. The dealer had not yet receiv- ed pay for previous tons, so he instructed the driver to take the coal to her house, go to the door, present the previous bill and refuse to deliver the coal until the bill was paid. He did so. The lady looked a little surprised, but she repressed her feel- ings and suavely invited the coal n:an to step into the parlor while she went to get the money.” The coal heaver was rather grimy, and did not seem exactly to fit the furniture, but he accepted her invitation, and Mrs. Martin disappear Many min- .

There was a triumphant twinkle in Mrs. Martin's eye as she toll him to “call again with the bill.” +e*¢--—__ A Story of Mystery.

The American in regard to footwear has refused to be guided by the standard of any country. She has combined both the French and English styles, taking the best of both, utterly dissimilar as they are—the French for show effect and the English for use. The English walking shoe and boot is the favorite model. Of light-weight calfskin, It is cut on a common-sense last, of broad sole and heel, with pointed toe. This is not what is known as the commen sense shoe, however. as that is a last which has little or no curve to the sole. This calf- skin must be kept blackened or polished en’s boots. fame women cannot wear even the light- est weight of calfskin, as they contend it draws the feet and produces corns, but “n order to keep in the fashion they’ wear kid, without any gless, which can be pol- ished the same as the calfskin, and the general effect is very much the same. Shoes are worn more months of the year than boots. Shoes, be it understood, are what used to be called ties. Gaiters, or “spats,” are only permissible spring and autumn, but they have a “sporty” look dear to the heart of some girls, Calfskin shoes are worn in the morning, patent leathers, or a kid with patent leather fox- ings, not nearly so comfortable, but much smarter, in the afternoon. Shoes reaching just above the ankle, with tops of colored cloth, buttoned with most abnormal buttons, are somewhat startling, but generally included in a fash- jonable outfit. ‘The tips of smooth tan cloth, a fine check being the mozt favored. These must be made to order. While the latest fashion, excepting in walking boots, is toward a more rounded tce, the general effect is still the long and narrow. Of course this necessitates wear- ing a size or two sizes longer, but it is far better and more becoming to the foot than to have it squeezed into a broader and shorter boot. ‘The bootmakers have finally become con- vinced that full width must be given to the ball of the foot, and that all compres- sion there 1s worse than useless. For street wear low, broad heels are necessary. In fancy slippers high heels and even the Louis Quinze are still fashionable. Skating boots, bicycle buots and shoes have all to be included; one can never do duty for the other, and as for slippers and fancy ties, there is no end to the quantity needed. Many women, when they have their ball gowns made, send a bit of the stuff to their bootmakers to insure the slippers matching the gown exactly. White satin and even white kid slippers are embroidered with pearls and rhin seed stones, and the tiny Jeweled tips that show beneath the hem of the dainty gown do add greatly to the finish of the costume. ——_-+e+- HOW WOMANLIKE. Discuss Their Friend, but Wouldn't Say an Unkind Thing About Her. Frem the Chicago Post. After they had kissed each other and each had disposed of a bonbon to show that they met on friendly terms, the blonde said: “So Mamie is married?” } “So I've heard,” returned the brunette. “Nice girl,” ventured the blonde. “Oh, very,’ returned the brunette. “I wouldn't say a word against her for the world.” ‘Neither would I. How do you suppose she ever got him?” “I'm sure I don’t know. Do you?” I would give anything to know.” “The idea is absurd.” “I can’t understand it at all. They say she was married first by a justice and af- terward by a minister.” “I shouldn’t wonder. She naturally wented to make awfully sure of him.” “Of course. It is the only way she could keep him.
