About five years ago there came to Cramps’ shipyard a stray terrier dog, who, by his friendly ways, soon made himself welcome about the watchman’s box at the main entrance gate on Ball street and among the men working just inside the gates. Watchman Stafford named him Char- ley, and saw to his getting food. One day Charley had the misfortune to get one of his feet crushed under a car on Beach street, and Policeman Gillen of the eleventh dis- trict, who does duty about there, bandaged the wounded foot and cared for it until it got well. Ever since then Charley hails his benefactor with demonstrations of joy when- ever he comes around, barking and rubbing up against him as a mark of friendship. When the Brooklyn was launched last week Policeman Gillen was in line with the men of his district in the yard, and Charley went in search of him. When he found his friend he gave vent to his joy to such an extent as to draw attention from the thousands of people standing around. o—_______ Medal of Homer Awarded.

A dispatch to the St. Petersburg Novoe Vremia from Viadivostock says that the Japanese ports of Shimonoseki, Kokkaychi, Tokio, Sendai, Aomori and Otarunai will shortly be opened to international trade. The black flag chieftain who has been holding Tai Wan Fu, the Chinese capital of Formosa, against the Japanese forces, has fled, and it is expected that his followers wiil now lay down their arms. The Japan- ese will probably occupy Auping today. A funeral service, with high mass, was celebrated yesterday at the Church of St. Ferdinand Des Ternes, Paris, for the re- pose of the soul of the late John W. Mac- kay, jr., and his remains were then re- moved to the crypt of the Church of St. Augustine, where they will remain, pending transportation to Havre. The body will be taken to the United States next week. Edmund Tattersall, head of the well- known horse exchange firm of London, is dangerously ill.

Among the passengers who will sail from Southampton for New York Saturday on the St. Louis are Sir C. W. Frank Moloney, K. C. G., governor of British Honduras, and Lady Pauncefote Moloney, his wife. At El Menzuleh and its vicinity on Sun- day and Monday there were thirty new cases of cholera and twelve deaths from the disease. ——_+2+___ Stock of Brimstone. According to United States Consul Sey- mour at Palermo, Italy, the stock of brim- stone on hand in Sicily August 31 last was 2,280,870 cantars, against 2,033,000 on the same date last year. Shiments-to the United States, as well as other foreign countries, have been less and the prices very low, causing the closing of some mines ,and a great reduction in wages in those fstill open, and general poverty in the min- ing districts. ANACOSTIA RAILROAD. Committee From the Union to Call om the Pi¢sident. There is much anx{ety today in Anacostia in regard to the statas of matters between the Anacostia Railway Company and its employes, and it 1s expected that the crisis will be reached tomorrow morning. The wkole situation was fully explained in The Star of last evening, and there has been no developments since that time. About a month ago, as was fully stated in The Star at the time, President Griswold held a conference with a few of the leading citizens and showed them from the books of the company that the latter is not able to Pay $1.50 to its employes and keep the pres- ent force at work, and he offered to either continue to pay that sum and take off a part of the cars or keep all of the latter running and reduce the pay to $1.25 and keep all the men at work. Following this were some informal con- ferences between President Griswold and officers of the Protective Street’ Railway Urion, during which the latter stated that the union could not consent to a reduction of wages, at the same time conceding Mr. Griswold’s right to reduce the number of cars operated by the company. At this point some of the citizens, who were most active in support of the railway men during the strike of last summer,came to the front and urged the men to accept the reduced pay and let all the cars be run, and this course would have probably been adopted had not the Street Railway Union refused to allow them to do so. A reduction In the number of cars now rurning between Washington and Anacos- tia will not meet with the approval of the people who now patronize them. Mr. Gris- wold has, however, the pledge in writing of 100 of the best known people of the place, including nearly eyery business man, stat ing that they will co-operate with him in carrying into effect any plan in reference to the pay of the employes of the company that he might desire after October 1, and tkere seems to be no disposition on their part to recede from the stand they then took. Meeting Todry. The members of the Protective Street Railway Union held a largely attended meeting this morning at their headquarters on Sth street, nearly every member not on duty being present. The subject of the Anacostia railroad trouble was very fully discussed for several hours, and when, an adjournment took- place at 12:30 noon it was with the understanding that the ex- ecutive board, or such other persons whom President Lawrerce might seleet to accom- pany him, would. at once seek an interview with President Griswold and ascertain what are the best terms the company will give their men, at the same time inform- ing him of the intentions of the union. The Railway Union will again convene during this afternoon in order, it is under- stood, to hear the result of the visit of the representatives of the union to Mr. Gris- wold. ee TEMPERANCE WOMEN.’ Many Workers of the W. C. T. U. to Be Here Sunday. Washington will be favored with a visit from many eminent workers of the World's and National Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union during the next few days, and white ribbon delegations will be present in large nimbers. About 400 arrived on early trains from Baltimore today, and were met by a large deputatién of the local W.C.T.U., with omnfbuses, to éscort them to the various departments, White House, Capi- tol, etc., and take them to luncheon, in the dining hall of Calvary Sunday school house, at 1 o'clock. After’thelluncheon they went by steamer to Mt. Vernon. The scene at noon today in the spagiovs dining‘room in Calvary Church was a;most animated one. ‘There were over 300 W, C. ‘T. U. delegates present. The hall’ was beautifully decor- ated and the tables were spread with a bountiful luncheon. A grand World’s,:W. €. T. U. demonstra- tion will be held .in Metropolitan M. E.

His boat capsized, and the little master of the craft was picked up by a passing boat and brought to Georgetown. When his mother learned that the boat had been found and her son was missing,she thought he had been drowned. The broken-hearted woman came here and asked Harbormaster Sutton to drag the river for the body, but before the boats and hooks were ready to be taken out the missing boy was heard from, ane the happy mother returned home with im. Liquor €a: Three liquor cases were heard in the Po- lice Court yesterday afternoon, but not a single conviction was obtained. Henry Knock was the defendant in one case, and he was represented by Lawyer John A. Clarke. The defendant lives near Bright- wood, and the police alleged that he kept a “speakeasy.” Counsel in the case ex- amined the witnesses, and when Mr. Pugh closed his case Mr. Clarke moved a dis- missal without going into the defense. Judge Miller granted his motion, and in- structed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. John L. Burkhart was tried on a charge of keeping his bar open after hours. At- torney A. A. Lipscomb’ argued his case and secured an acquittal. In the case of August. Agselberger, charg- with selling lquor on Sunday to a girl, a sale in the case was denied, but it was ad- mitted that a boatder in the house had given the girl a small quantity of liquor for her mother, who was sick. The jury disagreed and was discharged. ————_— WIL Co-Operate. The Alumni Assdclation of Washington Teachers has forma}y decided to lend hearty aid to further: the success of the coming bazaar of’ thé Teachers’ Annuity and Aid Association, and to that end each alumnus will probably apply for honorary membership in the Annuity Association.

It was necessary for the police to use force in removing John Shriner, a nineteen- year-old youth, from his home, 1817 34th street, to the hospital last evening. Shriner is said to be suffering from typhoid fever, and his mother refused to permit a physi- cian to enter the house. Thinking it ab- solutely necessary that he be taken to a hespital im order to save his life, young Shriner wus removed, despite the protests of his mothe:. _—————— Comm: inmt of Cadets.

Mallory Shot Down in the Street by R. H. Harris, jr. Mr. W. F. Malicry, familiarly known among his friends as “Buck,” was shot and instantly killed on Bollingbrook street, Petersburg, Va., last night by R. H. Har- ris, jr. After being shot Mallory walked a short distance and fell dead on the side- walk. Immediately after the shooting Har- [ris walked’ to the police station and sur- rendered himself to the officers, and also gave up his pistol. He declined, however, to make any statement as to the cause or origin of the shooting. The only witness to the sad affair found up to a late hour was Mr. Robert Davis, who positively but politely declined to say anything until the inquest is held. It is said that there were some unpleasant words between the two men before the fatal shot was fired. It is Blso said that there was more than one report of a pistol heard. Shortly after the shooting Dr. H. G. Leigh, the coroner, and Dr. R. D. McIll- waine were notified, and visited the scene of the shooting and made an examination of the bedy. It was found that Mallory had been shot once in the left breast. His face and hands*were very bloody, but the blood came from his lungs. Coroner Leigh will hold an inquest, when all the facts ob- tainable bearing upon the tragedy will be brought out. Both men are natives of Petérsburg. Mal- lory was about forty-three years of age, son of the late W. F. Mallory, and brother of John A. Mallory, secretary of the board of health. A widow survives him. Harris is twenty-six years of age, son of Mrs. R. H. Harris, who keeps a boarding house on Bollingbrook street. He is married and has several children. Both men are widely known, being prominent in sporting circles. At the request of the widow, Mallory’s body was carried to his late home on Bol- lingbrook street, close to where the tragedy occurred. At midnight Harris was com- mitted to jail. The unfortunate affair oc- casioned considerable excitement, and in an incredibly short time a very large crowd had gathered in the vicinity of where it oc- curred. see], KILLED HIS SISTER. A Terrible Crime of an Alaskan In- ian Prompted by a Medicine Man. From the San Francisco Examiner. That “murder will out’ is well illustrated in the case of the Kake Indian named Ahf Ghat, who is now a prisoner at Sitka, and whose case will be tried by Judge Truitt at that official’s last term of court before re- tirement. Ahf Ghat was apprehended six weeks ago by Deputy Marshal Harry Wallace of Wrangle for implication in the murder of two traders on Kake Island about three months ago. The Indian was weil known to the authorities through his ability to stow away more whisky than any other member of the tribe, and also on account of his fighting proclivities when drunk. On account of past deeds of lawlessness offi- cers had long »¢en looking for him, but had orly recently begome aware of graver crimes the Indian had committed other than those with which he had-already been charged. Almost a year ago a young Kake girl was cruelly murdered, after being starved and beaten until death came as a relief.it was several months afterward before it became known, and then it was an impossibility to lceate ‘the wretches who were responsible for the infamous crime. A short time ago one of the Kakes in the Sitka prison upon seeing a new prisoner arrive, and with whom he was apparently at enmity, told the guards the taie of horror. About ten months ago Ahf Ghat had been taken so ill that a medicine man was call- ed. When the sick man’s family had piled up a stack of twenty blankets the Shaman ecrdescended to begin his weird incanta- tions. At the conclusion of the perform- ance he infermed the patient that he was a very sick mau, and that his sister was the cause of it, declaring her to be a witch. The Kakes have no religious belief what- ever, but in regard to witchcraft their ideas are the same as those of many other Alas- kan tribes. They believe an enemy can by means of spells and charms work out evils, shape destinies and finally destroy those they wish to, which belief is taught and en- couraged by the medicine men of the tribe. If any one is sick he, upon propitiation, at orce de2lares some person to be the cause, and that person must either confess himself a witch and promise to cease working in- jury upon the patient or he is put to death. The Indians are still in a state of utter bar- barism, and hold to the old belief, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” Upon the sister being charged with sor- cery she was at once brought before her trother and the Shaman. She wildly pro- tested her innocence, and upon her adher- Ing to it she was bound and severely beat- en. Several days passed, during which she was given no food, and only enough water to moisten her parched lips. Seeing her de- termined not to acknowledge herself a witch and responsible for his illness, Ahf Ghat struggled from the pile of skins which had constituted his bed and plunged his krife into the heart of his heipless victim. ?

A MILLION FOR GooD ROADS. Recommendation to Be Made to the Next Massachusetts Legisintare. Boston Letter to New York Post. The last legislature appropriated $400,000 for the construction of highways on the new state system. The republican and democratic state conventions this month both declared in their platforms in favor of good roads. The highway commission will recommend to the next legislature, so they tell me, that there be appropriated $1,000,- 000 in one sum for the continuation of the work. It is wonderful how this highivay im- provement has jumped into popularity all over the state. Doubtless the general use of bicycles has had much to do with the appreciation of smooth and hard surfaces on which to wheel, and, if the workings of wires under the surface could be traced, very likely it would be found that the planks which appeared in the two state platforms originated in the brains of wheel- men. But there is no question that the people are awaking to the advantage of good roads, and that the large expenditure already incurred 's warmly approved by the people. At present petitions for construction by the state commission have been received from 230 of the towns of the state, or just about two-thirds of the whole. Consiruc- tion is actually going on in seventy differ- ent localities’ About 700 miles have been petitioned for atready, and localities which have been hostfie, apparently from fear of the county commissioners that their pres- tige was to be interfered with, have come around to favor the commission. It is expected that out of the 20,700 miles of road in the state, outside of the cities, about 2,000 will ultimately be taken under the care of the state, for it is a part of the system that after these roads have heen built, the state is ever afterward responsible for their maintenance. That is, about 10 per cent of all the roads will ie paris of the state system. This as the proportion in France, says Prof. N. S. Shaler, a member of the commission, where 48,000 of the 480,- 000 of national and departmental roads ere under the care of the natioral government. The same proportion is observed in “Aystria. ———-+e Goldwin Smith on the Irish Vote. The London Times publishes a letter from Prof. Goldwi: Smith, dated from Toronto on October 10, and referring to Lord Sack- ville’s pamphlet incident. The letter says: “The Irish vote is the bane of all Anglo- Saxon communities. In the intercourse of thirty years I have not met an American who has not felt ashamed of this sub- serviercy.” The professor then dilates upon the “sub- serviency” shown by the English liberals to the Irish and add: “Whatever the American politicians are they are not the American people. Their nervous fear of unpopularity sometimes leads them astray. Had President Cleve- land mustered courage enough to treat the Murchison letter with the spirit of a high- minded gentleman he would have gained rrore votes than he lost.” ——_+e2____ Falling Off in Receipts. The total collections from internal reve- nue during the first three months of the Present fiscal year were $37,744,478, as against $58,045,108 for the same period last year. There was a decrease in the re- \ceipts from spirits and ctaemaresriae and an.-increase in the from tobacco and fermented liquors. The collections from spirits were $21,302,364 less than dur- ing the corresponding period of iast year. | in many of theii |there are not.” | kissed your picture fn yonder Oppenheimer’s, 514 9th St. N.W.

The Taste for Old-Fashioned Gardens Has Been Revived. From the Chicago News. Most things move in cycles, and con- temporaneously with the reappearance of our grandmothers’ sleeves and petticoats the taste for old-fashioned gardens is re- vived. There is a fresh call for the per- ernials and annuals which enlivened the borders of long ago, and those who are fortunate enough to still possess these old- time gardens show with pride the long- treasured plants which have bloomed for so many years. We are apt to think that we know a good deal more about flowers than our progenitors, but the fact is there was, perhaps, more BD Much time is given now to the development of perfect specimens and to the cultivation of new varieties, both in greenhouse and garden, but if we were to look over some of the venerable catalogues we should find that if we planted all that our grandsires did we should have our hands and gardens full, without auything new. A garden guide printed in 1806 gives a list of 400 hardy per- ennials, with 120 annuals. — What the Parrot Said. From the London Telegraph. “I gave you that parrot as a birthday present, did I not, Matilda?” he asked. “Yes; but surely, Albert, you are not going to speak of your gifts as if—" “It was young and speechless at the time?” “Yea,” with imcreasing wonder; “and It has never been out of this parlor.” “There are no other young ladies in this house?" “No, “Then why, why when I bum, while waiting for you, did that wretched bird as- sume your voice and say, ‘Don’t do that, Charlie, please, don’t?” 5.
