Zt ——— a SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, Sexe ‘A man who represented himzeif to bé Chief Mayse, a prominent Indian chief of the Cherokee nation, now visiting Was! =| ington, has suddenly disappeared from this neighborhood, after having compietely duped a number of the citizens of Ana- costia, Congress Heights and Hillsdale, and, it is also reported, other places not far away. It is not thought that he succeeded tz get- fing much money, but he certainly made about all with whom he came in contact be- Neve that he was intensely religious. His forte was to adress religious gatherings, and, being a pleasant speaker, was always in demand. At Congress Heights and at the colored churches In Hillsdale he was an especial favorite, and had often uddressed meetings at both places. Usually wherever the man participated in the services a collection was taken up, and he was given the proceeds, and by this means he managed for some time past lve quite comfortably without doing any manual labor. The alleged imposter secepted an in vita; tion to address a meeting held at Haines’ Hall, Anacostia, a couple of Sundays azo, under the auspi of the Central Union Mission, and the hall was packed with peo- ple, many of the best residents of the town among them, in anticipation of his visit, but he did not put In an appearance. Mayse, as he '$ called, made almost every one who extended him a kindress promises of presents of Indian relics of some kind, of which he claimed to have a great supply at his home in the Indian territory. It is said that he also claimed to have an immense number of pontes, which he was willing to sell at $15 apiece. but wanted $2 cash in advance, and, it is said, he deceived about fifty persons into that sort of a d Mr. A. E. Randle of Congress Heights, who knows the genulne Chief Mayse, had his attention drawn to the alleged humbug, and he succeeded In bringing the two men face to face, when it 's found that the bogus chief could not understand the Chero- kee language at all. Finding that his hum- bugging had been unearthed, and fearing arrest, the imposter speedily took his de- parture for parts unknown. It is said that while in the heyday of his popularity the bogus chief made love to two Hillsdale widows, and was engaged to be married to one of them. The Current Events Club, which is com- posed of some of the brightest and most progressive, but not w"" women, of Ana- costia, had a delightful meeting terday afternoon at the home of Mise Cora Mc- Lean, on Monroe street near Jackson street. There was a full attendance, and much en- thusiasm was manifested. The president, Mrs. M. M. North, presided, and Miss Flor- ence Bowman performed the duties of sec- retary. Papers on the following topics read by those named: Dr. FE. H. Grant; cn “The Sultan, Florence Bowman; on “Miss Clara sarton,” by Mrs. J. H. Simpson, and on The Red Cross Society,” by Mrs. M. M.

At the regular weekly meeting of the Con- gregational Church Wednesday evening a vote wes passed asking Dr. Mason to re- consider his decision to close his labors with the church the last of June and that he re- main with them through the year. The effort to start a canning factory here, which was attempted last spring and finally suspended for the reason that it was com- menced too late in the season for last year's operations, has again been started, and a meeting was held Thursday afternoon in Central Hall, where, after a free inter- change of opinion, the matter was placed in the hands of a committee consisting of Messrs.

A petition is in circulation for a charter of incorporation of the town of Weihle, which will border on the east line of Hern- don. Wednesday of this week George, son of Mr. Henry Tolson, started with a load of produce for Washington market. On the road he fell in company with Jas. E. Law, who is employed by Mr. Albert May, and was taking a load to town for him. The two kept in company to the city. On their return trip Thursday, when within about three- fourths of a mile from Dranesville, Law de- manded Tolson’s money, forced him to give it up, pushed him from the wagon and drove off, leaving his own team standing in the read. The boy then took the May team and drovo home. After hearing the boy’s story Mr. Tolson came into the village, procured a team from the livery stable, took a man with him, and, driving to the place where the affair occurred, found a track where Law had turned into the pines, and also found where he had come out and turned to- ward Washington. They followed on as far as Colvin Run and found that he had passed there about one and a half hours before they arrived. They then returned, and Friday morning Mr. Tolson took an early train for Washington, hoping to intercept him there. This is said to be not the first bad job that Law has been guilty of. Mrs. Ruth McKean, who has been very sick a week or more with pneumonia, is very low and doubts are entertained of her re- covery. _Her sister, Mrs. Lapham, residing in New York state, arrived Tuesday even- ing, and a brcther, Mr. John Barker of New York city, arrived Friday morning.

The repair of the board sidewalks on the side streets of Laurel, the main thor- oughfares possessing brick sidewalks, has begun. These sidewalks were put down several years ago, and have rotted in a number of places, making them very dan- gerous to pedestrians. The council, at its meeting Wednesday night, decided to have them repaired at once, and their wishes are now being carried out. —__ A MODERN IMPOSITION. A Method of Advertising Which Causes Annoyance. From the New York Tribrre. A nuisance which is already big and still growing is the subject of much complaint among residents of this city. We refer to that modern scheme of advertising which consists in the delivery at private resi- dences, by day and night, of circular ap- peals for custom sent out in sealed envelopes by persons having goods or services to sell. The post office, the meSsenger companies and personal employes @re continually en- gaged in the distributiom of these advertise- ments, which are made*to look as much as possible like private communications, The annoyance which they give is twofold. In the first place they cause the recipients disappointment, slight perhaps in any single instance, but considerable in the aggregate of frequent repetitions.» It is not pleasant to be deceived and made the victim even of a comparatively trivial/and innocent impo- sition. In the second ‘place, this suddenly developed mercantile’ practice causes a direct and important loss of time, strength and temper by necessitating increased at- tendance on door bells ‘at all hours of the day and evening. Those who employ this means of soliciting custom certainly violate no law except the law of love, and most of them will probably continue the practice so long as they believe that it accomplishes its object.. But our opinion is that they are doing themselves Harm all the while. For every amiable and curious person who is induced to inspect and purchase an article thus inconveniently thrust upon his notice, there are probably at least two upon whom a precisely opposite effect is produced. —_—_\_-oe_____ A Good Idea, Mrs. Kingley—“My two servant girls fight like cats and dogs.” Mrs. Bingo—‘‘And yet you say that they went shopping together yesterday.” Mrs. Kingley—“Yes, I told them to go down to some dry goods store where they wouldn't be noticed and have it out.” NTY-FOUR P AUCTION.
