The Theory That Man and Wife Be- come Alike in Features. From the New York Herald. A soclety of Swiss photographers has been making some curious experiments lately with a view to estatlishing the old Proposition that a man and a woman who have lived long and happily together come at length to resemble each other, not only in disposition and temperament, but also in face and feature. The experimenters have taken photographs of seventy-elght couples and ef a like number of brothers and sis- ters. On careful inspection, it is said, it is found that the married couples are more like each other than the brothers and sis- ters. A foreign exchange, therefore, con- cludes that there is a stronger force availa- ble for the production of family likeness than that of hereditary transmission. This proposition does not go unchallenged in New York. A number of physicians to whom I have submitted it for corroboration flatly declined that tribute to the Genevese photographers. Not one of the doctors would even discuss the question in a seri- ous vein. After the doctors, the photographers. A man who has been making photographs for forty years says he has personally “posed” no less than 250,000 persons. In that num- ber necessarily were many old married couples, to say nothing of their children and grandchildren. He has had an oppor- tunity to observe the force of heredity, as well as that of marital association. A Photographer's Opinion. “The phenomenon which the Swiss pho- tographers claim to have observed,” he told me, “does not occur often enough to war- rant the statement of its being at all uni- versal. On the contrary, I think it is ex- ceptional. And then again, the resemblance is more temperamental than physical, and is more apparent to the eye than to the photographic instrument. What I mean by that is that the resemblance, when It exists, is more often in the expression than in the forms. This confirms my proposi- tion that it is temperamental and not phys- ieal. “The strong resemblance, whether physi- cal or mental, occffrs only between two very passive natures—in whose make-up there is what the phrenologists term ‘a lack of combativeness.’ The love of peace, and perhaps the love for each other, pre- vents the exhibition of sssertiveness on the part of one or of the other. “This resemblance never occurs where there is a strong dominating spirit. “Of course, my statements are opinions, and not ipse dixit. My impression is that where one nature strongly dominates an- other the weeker one grows less strong and further away from the mate than where the natures are more equal. “The marital relation as existing between strong characters has been one of great in- terest to me. I have noticed that the great representative men, who have delayed mar- riage until mature judgment could be form- ed, and where they have selected with what cne might call wisdom, have chosen for their wives very passive, domestic natures. I could mention a great many illustrations that have come under my eye in my long career. Such marriages are very harmoni- ous, peaceful and lastins, and the parties grow closer together as they become older. It is, so to speak, an agreement to differ. In such cases no physical resemblance is developed. “My observation would lead me to say that only passive temperaments, living qui- et, uneventful lives, will resemble each oth- er, beth mentally and physically, to a de- gree only. But this is so rare that it can- rot be noted as a dominating quality in the human economy. “This will be confirmed by people who are familiar with New England. or who have traveled abroad and gone among the peasantry of the old world, who will so strongly resemble each other that a whole community seems to have been cast in the same mold. It is especially true of the Swiss peasantry, and that fact may explain the sweeping character of the Genevese photographers’ deductions.” The Obliging Poet. From Harper's Bazar. “I wish you would put your name down for $10 to this subscription,” said the lady to the poet. “Certain: “T'll put it down for nothing.” Then he wrote his name. “Keep your $10, Mrs. Patkins,” he added, as he blotted the signature. “I would charge the charity for so slight a servic —_—_—+2+____ he said.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Four of the Oounty Magistrates Recom- mended to Be Removed. Report of the Grand Jury, Who Were Complimented by the Judge—Other Interesting Items. The grand jury, in the Alexandria county court, which has been in session for sev- eral days past examining into the accounts, ete., of the county magistrates, yesterday evening made a report, which recommends the removal of four of the magistrates— Payne and Patterson, white, and Harris and Pollard, colored. The report says the grand jury found the accounts of Magis- trates Hooker, Schlevogt, White and Lane, colored, all correct; of Justice W. H. Payne the report says that they found his docket was not kept up, ind he plead ignorance of the law; this excuse the jury would not ac- cept. They also found that he was in one of the gambling houses in the county on a Saturday and Sunday and played keno. He made no effort to bring the keepers of the place to justice. His removal was there- fore recommended. Justice Patterson's re- moval is recommended because he went into a bar room on Sunday and bought liquor, and in order to avoid appearing against the parties moved to Washington. Of the case of Justice Harris, they found that his docket showed that he had only tried eleven cases since 18%. This was found not to be a true record. He had otherwise failed to comply with the law, and had not acted in an impartial manner. He had also failed to turn over fines collected by him. His removal was therefore recommended. The grand jury found that Jesse Pollard, colored, had not intelligence enough to keep a satisfactory record, or discharge the duties of the office, and that he was in the employ of one of the race tracks. He was therefore recom- mended for removal. The grand jury also found that ex-Justice Trout had failed, while in office, to make a proper return of his cases; no recom- mendation was made. The grand jury also returned the following indictments: Com- monwealth agt. Phillip Walker; selling liquor on Sunday; a true bill. Common- wealth agt. Frank Foster; selling liquor on Sunday; a true bill. Commonwealth agt. J. M. Hill; for exhibiting a gambling tab} not a true bill. Commonwealth agt. erick Goldman; for malicious cutting; a true bill. The grand jury then adjourned for the term. The judge, in discharging them, thanked them in the highest terms for the good work they had done during the ses- sion. Sues for Divorce. Mrs. Lizzie Loretta Peoples has filed a bill in Washington for divorce from David W. W. Peoples of Athens, Ohio. She sets out that she was married to him July 28, 1892, at Newport, Ky., by Thomas P. Bodkin, a jus- "tice of the peace; her maiden name was Lizzie Loretta Rhin: that she lived for nine months under the same roof with the de- fendant, who then deserted her. Mrs. Peo- ples is well known in this city as a Miss Smith, and has for the past two years: been employed by the Farmers and Mechanics’ Thsurance Company as stenographer and typewriter. During that time she has made her home here, and has many friends. Will Try to Clean the Docket. Judge D. M. Chichester and Mr. Leonard Marbury, the assistant commonwealth’s at- torney for the county, will make a hard ef- fort to clean up the criminal docket of the county court at the next term, and for that purpose the trial of all criminal cases now on the docket have been set for the Novem- ber term. The judge says he is determined to put a stop to the illegal practice of Wash- ingtonians on the Virginia shore of the Po- tomac opposite Washington, and in this de- termination he is seconded by Mr. Marbury, so some Interesting cases may be looked for at the next term of the county court. The Electoral Board Meeting. ‘The city electoral board had a meeting yesterday and reappointed constables for the election on Tuesday, as follows: R. E. Knight, first ward; Frederick Schneider, court house, and Louis Bull, Friendship. The constables for the second and fourth wards have not yet been made public. Mr. C. H. Yohe was appointed a judge of elec- tions for the court house precinct, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Edward Pierpont. « The board atso stamped the offi- celal ballots which will be used in this city on sd day of election. ‘Mr. Anderson’s ‘Address, Mr. Frank E..

By consent of the attorneys interested.in the case of Shipman against Fletcher it has been removed to the corporation court, and Mr. E. B. Taylor has been appointed com- missioner to ascertain and report all the ecst in the various cases growing out of that suit, in order that there may be a fmal settlement between Shipman and Fletcher in reference to the judgment in favor of Fletcher and the costs expended by both sides. Mr. Taylor is now at work on the large mass of papers which have been filed in the case. Police Court. Mayor Luther H. Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Owen Car- roll, a dairyman, charged with allowing his cows to graze on Washington street; fined $2. J. W. Goods, charged with using abusive lang.age toward Mr. Peake, waa dismissed, the evidence not sustaining the charge. George Carrington, colored, charged with rot supporting his young child, was made to give security that he would do so in the future. Notes, Nothing at all was done yesterday look- ing toward securing a new trial for Albert Hawkins, the colored boy who was sentenced on Wednesday to be hanged for an attempt- ed assault on a white girl in the county.

The general habit of drinking spirits was then more common than now, but I had not been subject to this temptation, as Col. Curtis was very strict in prohibiting all such drinking. With the jolly gocd fellows J met at Lan- cxster, who had nothing to do, I cocti not refuse to join in drinking the health of each other, and thvs I was conscious fre- quently of being more or less intoxicated. On one occasicn, in the fall of 183% I went home very sick from drinking. My mother received me with much surprise and scrrow, but neither complained nor scolded, and, with the utmost kindness, put me to bed and watched over and cared for me. I was not stupid enough to be un- ccuscious of my Gegradation and her affec- ticn, and then and there resolyed never to be in such a condition again, and from that time to this I am not conscious of having been unGer the influence of liquor. I have partaken of wine and spirits at weddings, fecsts and dinners, I have used it as a medicine and in response to toasts and cempliments, put never to an extent to addle my brain or disturb my walk. At that time irtemperance was a com- mon vice. Of the young men who were my contemporaries a very large proportion be- eume habitual drunkards and died prema- tnrely. No reform in my time has been so general and beneficial as that of the disuse of arnkiug intoxicating liquors, commenc- ing in 1841. Formerly lquors were put on the sideboard or table, and the invitation, “take a drink,” was as common then as “take a seat” is now. This method of treating was shared in by preachers of the Gospel, and by all who observed the courtesies of social life. Now these conditions have greatly changed. Whisky is banished to the drug store, the grocery and the saloon, and even there it is under surveillance and so highly taxed as to furnish a large proportion of the na- ticnal revenue. —see A SCHOOL BOY PRANK. As Recalled by a Man Who Has Gain- ed Distinction in Life. From Senator Sherman's Kecollections. Among my school adventures at Mount Vernon was one I heartily regret. We had a teacher by the name of Lord. He was a small man, and not able to cope with sev- eral of the boys in the school. We called him “Bunty Lord.” One evening after school four boys, of whom I was one, while playing on the commons, found a dead sheep. It was suggested that we carry the sheep into the school room and place it on Lord’s seat. This was promptly done, and I wrote a Latin couplet, purporting that this was a very worthy sacrifice to a very poor Lord, and placed it on the head of the sheep. The next morring Lord found the sheep and made a great outcry against the indignity. Efforts were at once made to ascertain the actors in this farce, and roof was soon obtained. My handwriting Gisclosed my part in the case, and the re- sult was a prompt discharge of the cul- prits from school; but poor Lord lost his place because of his manifest inability to govern his unruly pupils.
