From the London News. 2 The details of the horrible story of cruci- ty to a slave at Pemba as they came be- fore Judge Cracknall at Zanzibar are now at hand. They ought to strengthen the demands of the British and Foreign Anti- Slavery Society that slavery should be absolutely abolished in the British pro- tectorate. Muftah was one of a number of slaves who ran away from an Arab ramed All bin Abdullah. He was restor>4 to his master, how and by whom is ne. stated in the Gazette, from which we tak: the story; but that is an important point for inquiry, for this is what the restora- tion meant in the case of Muftah. He was put in irens, which were welded on his flesh near the ankles, and the trons were attached by a bar to a clove tree. For even months the slave was left in this po- sition, enduring all the miseries of chang- ing weather, noonday heat and evening chill, the torture of insect plagues and the sufferings of yemi-starvation. A cocoa- nut every night and morning was his only food and drink. Dr. O'Sullivan, her majes- ty’s vice consul at Pemba, at last came to know of this unhappy slave's horrible plight. Of course, he hea-led a rescue party. The vice consul’s intentions were anticipated, and when he got to the spot the slave was gone, and the clove tree with him. In order to get him away, the tree had to be cut down. Muftah was found ked in a shed; his trons were so embed- his flesh that their removal was and the vice him on to Zanzibar. On his arrival at the British agency “the prostrate figure of the man in the last stage of emaciation and starvation” excited feelings of horror.

Nothing {s more remarkable than the growth of the flower industries in London. Not many years ago flowers were expensive luxuries, only to be obtained in early spring by those who could afford to pay fancy prices; now any one may purchase in the streets for a penny the most lovely flowers from the Sqlly Islands, Holland and the south of France. Every flower has its al- lotted week or fortnight while the rush is on, the jonquils, the hyacinths and the vio- lets. Just now violets are in full swing, and every day three trains leave the south of France for Paris laden with them. The train which reaches Paris at 5 o'clock in the morning is the one which supplies the French capital; the burden of the other two trains is dispersed all over Europe, but more especially to England. ‘The violets are collected all along tne Mediterranean shores, are packed In little wickerwork bas- kets, and sent off by express train. The cost of transport is at tho rate of a Penny a pound, and each truck contains be- tween four and five tons of vioiets. Here in London the flower girls sell them in ths streets from their baskets, but in Paris they are sold from Ittie carts at a penny a bouquet, and everybody buys them, heed- less of the fact that they are the Napoleonic emblem. A few years ago any one who wore a buttonhole of violets would have been put down as an enemy of the republic, but it shows how dead the idea of a Napo- leonic revival is in France when every man in the streets wears its badge without any thought of the pretender across the fron- tier. Otherwise, the utter dislocation Into which parliamentary government has fallen in France might, coupled with the wearing of the violet, have given rise to hopes for the restoration of the empire. — Want a Curfew at Honolulu. From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser. Any one who was round on Saturday night would be well satisfied of the need of the curfew bill. The number of young children in and around King street, mixing with some of the worst characters in town, was sufficient evidence of the need of a law upon this subject. An amendment might be made making the hour 8 instead of 9. If our legislators want personal in- formation on the subject, they had better pay a visit to the merry-go-round some Saturday night. i1 ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS| MEMORIALS AT GETTYSBURG Events of Interest on the Virginia Side of | Unveiling Statues of Meade and Han- the Potomac.

Mr. Broker Gives His Wife Some Views on His Typewriter Girl. From the New York Weekly. Mrs. Broker—‘‘My dear, do you suppose it is possible for a man, almost any man, te sit alongside of a beautiful creature all day long, watching her pretty fingers toy- ing with a typewriting machine, without falling in love with her?” Mr. Broker (suddenly becoming absorb- ed in a newspaper)—“‘Oh, he might if she was pretty; but I never saw a pretty type- writer girl yet.” “What! I saw a typewriter girl at your office who could—" ‘That red-haired thing?” ‘Red-haired! She has the lovellest, sun- mest tresses I ever gazed on.” Don’t know who you can mean. My typewriter girl has ugly red hair, not beau- tiful biack locks like yours, my dear; and her eyes, instead of being such a charm- ing, soulful black-brown, like yours, are a watery grey. “They are divinely blue. “And her mouth doesn’t look as if it were made of anything but pie.” “I—I thought she had the mouth of a cherub.”" “And I do hate pug nose: “Queer. I-had an idea that it was Grecian.” “Besides, I can’t bear these tiny, bony, rail-fence women.” (Resumes reading,) Mrs. Broker (aside)—“She has thé face of a Madcrna and the form of a syiph; but, bless his fond, foolish heart, he hasn't eyes for any one but me.” oo Animal Eccentricities. From the Cornhill Maguzine. We had two calves, much attached to each other, which had from earliest calf- hood dwelt together in the same little room, till it was time to introduce them to our small herd, containing mostly their own uncles and aunts as well as mothers. We thought they would have been welcomed with affection, but they were boycotted for at least a month. Nothing would induce their family to let them graze with it, though the prohibition was afterward re- moved. Our two old horses, also, at first peremptorily resented the arrival of a Welsh pony (Taffy) when he was turned into “their” meadow. They hunted, kicked at, and bit him with- out mercy or provocation, till he made such great friends with our donkey, who was on good terms with them, that they accept- ed this alliance as an introduction, and agreed to recognize Taffy as a companion, especially when I gave him carrots and would let them have none unless they be- haved themselves. But to this hour he gen- erally ranges himself with Daisy (our donkey) and always jogs up with her when I make my appearance at our entrance door with presumably biscuits and bits of bread. But Daisy is by far the daintier of the pair, and flatly refuses a piece of dry but- tered toast. ———-+e+—_— A Hot Bath Will Bring Sicep. Dr. Cyrus Fdson in Ladies’ Home Journal. Suppose a person be tired out by over- work of any kind, to feel nervous, irritable and worn, to be absolutely certain that bed means only tossing for hours in an unhap- py wakefulness. We all know this condi- tion of the bedy and mind. Turn on the hot water in the bath room and soak in the hot bath until the drowsy feeling comes, which will be within three minutes, rub yourself briskly with a course Turkish towel until the body is perfectly dry, and then go to bed. You will sleep the sleep of the just, and rise in the morning wondering how you could have felt so badiy the night before. The bath has saved many a one from a sleepless night, if not from a severe headache the next day. cook. Immense Gathering of ‘Veterans on the Battlefield—Distinguished Military Men Present. GETTYSBURG, Pa., Juné'5.—An immense rowd of veterans of the late war and oth- ere gathered on the battlefield here today to witness the unvelling of the splendid eques- trian statues erected by the:state of Penn- sylvania in honor of the memory of Gens. Gecrge G. Meade and Winfield 8. Hancock, two Pennsylvania soldiers, the record of whose gallant participation in the battle of Gettysburg will forever live in American history. The ceremonies began with the unveiling of the Meade memorial at 10:30 a.m. This duty was performed by’ Master George Gor- don Meade, a grandson of the dead hero. As the drapery fell from the beautiful statue a salute was fired by light battery C, U. 8. A., which came here from the Wash- ington barracks, under command of Capt. Lancaster. This was followed by the dedi- catory services, conducted by George G. Meade Post, No. 1, Pennsylvania G. A. R. Gen. Gobin of Lebanon, on behalf of the commission which supervised the erection of the statues, formally transferred the me- morial to Gov. Hastings, who receivod it on behalf of the state. An oration by Gen. David MeMurtrie Gregg of Reading, the famous commander of. the second cavairy division in the battle of Gettysburg, con- cluded the Meade ceremonies. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Hancock statue wag unveiled. The ceremonies were much the same as at the Meade unveiling in the morning. Battery C fired a salute. Gen. Gobin transferred the statue to the state and Gov. Hastings reczived it. The oration was delivered by Gen, Henry H. Bingham, Congressman from Philadelphia, who was on Gen. Hancock's staff at Gettys- burg. Hundreds of Grand Army men who attended the annual meeting at Chambers- burg stopped here on their way home to participate in the ceremonies. Among the distinguished men present were Mas. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, command- ing the Uniicl States army; Brig. Gen. John R. Brooke, U. 5. 4., who commands the department of the Platte; Coi. George Meade, the scn of Gen. Meade; Lieut. Coi. William Brooke Rawle and Maj. Edward Carpenter of Philadelphia, and Col. Finley Anderson of New Yerk, who was on Han- cock’s siaff. Gev. Daniel E. Sickles of New York, who commended the Unicn left on the battle- field here, w23 unable to come here today. He sent a letter éxpressing his regret and eulogizing in patriotic language heroes whose memory was honored today. Statues Described. The statues unveiled today are very handsome. They were erected at the ex- pense of the state, and cost over $100,000. ‘The work was begun avout two years ago, under the direction of a commission con- sisting of Gen. J. P. Taylor, president; Gens. J. P. S. Gobin and William R. Harts- herne and Cols. John P. Nicholson and R. Bruce Ricketts, all of whom were present today. The foundations for the statues are ten feet below the surface, and are built of Ge' ranite. Pedestals are of white nite. The ‘Hencock statue o t Cemetery Hill, nearly op- posite the National cemetery gateway. The statue is ten fect high, resting on a pedestal of blocks of granite, the whole seventeen feet long, ten w nd twelve feet high. The horse and rider face to the southwest, Gen.

A movement has been inaugurated to raise a fund of $250,000 or more to aid those who lost their homes in their efforts to re- build. At the first meeting, an impromptu one held at the Noonday Club, $35,000 was contributed by prominent business men, and this will be increased. It is proposed to loan tornado sufferers money on second mortgage. S. b. Webster, general claim agent of the Terminal Railroad Association, announces that the upper roadway of the bridge has been completed so as to admit the passage of foot passengers. The roadway was torn up a distance of 550 feet. Part of the debris was piled on the railroad tracks, and all the next day after the storm was occupied in clearing away the rocks and other wreckage. When this was finished the trains were allowed to cross. The work of erecting a temporary roadway and sup- ports was then commenced. This has been carried on steadily ever since, but the work progressed slowly, owing to the fact that the workmen were obliged to keep the rail- road tracks clear. A large amount of tim- ber has been used in the repairs, which are temporary. The masonry will be repaired later. Although it is one week since the disas- trous tornado struck St. Louis and the East Side, it was not noticed until yesterday that all the house boats on the river had disap- peared. Between the chain of rocks and Choteau avenue last Wednesday morning there were sixty-four of these floating shan- les. Not one was left bythe fury of the tornado. An old river man gaid: “The denizens of the house boats are real nomads. They drift; gr are towed wherever their fancy directs. ;They are the zipsies of the great rivers. .Tkey know but few people in the cities and dre known by few. I was figuring last’ Sunflay week on how many of them were in, this harbor for the June rise, and, figuring.jfive to each boat, there were over 300-hare last Wed- nesday.

Says the Department’ FORD'S THEATER VICTIMS Senator Faulkner Defends the Awards Made by the Commission. Memorandum ‘Was Completely Overthrown— House Action Agreed To. The only debate on the motion to agree to the final report of the conference on the general deficiency bill in tie Senate yes- terday afternoon was on the item relating to the payment of the Ford Theater dis- aster claims, concerning which the House the other day took action, which was fully reported in The Star at the time. Before the report was adopted Mr. Faulkner, a member of the commission, asked if the agreement repealed the law creating that body. Mr. Hale, in charge of the bill, re- plied that it did not, and that the com- mission remained intact. Mr, Faulkner then made a statement, saying: “The amendment of the House is one to which I can rever agree, as the con- fereegs have receded from three death claims in which the parties are very much in need of the money, and it was done without any comment or criticism whatever as to those three claims, not even from the War Department official who addressed the letter to Mr. Sayers, a member of the House of Representatives from Texas, in reference to the subject. “I desire to have incorporated, without reading, in the Record, in justification of the commission, the evidence in reference to the case of Ethelbert Baier, on page 3, which I will give the reporter, with the part marked which I desire to have insert- ed. It is very short, but it shows the ac- tion of the commission and the reason for that action. Also, the case of Edward Cc. Carrol, on page 6; also, the case of George R. Garnet, on page 9; the case of Charles R. Miller, on page 17; the case of Thomas Morley, on page 18; the case of George W. Smoodt, on page the case of Smith Thompson, on page 26, and the case of Nathan F. White, on page 2x. “An examination of the testimony by Senators, if they ever take the trouble to read it in the Record (and it is a con- dersed statement of the evidence in each of the cases commented on), will convince any impartial mind that the judgment reached by the commission was fair and Jus. “T desire io on behalf of the com- mission, that the memurandum sent by the department to the Representacive from Texas on the appropriations committée vf the House was laid before the commission. it was a mere memorandum obtained on or about the time of the disaster by the chiefs of division. It was considered by the commission as a part of the evidence aiievting the rights of the claimants, and was overthrown completely by the testi- mony that was laid before the commission by disinterested witnesses heard before them. “With this statement I do not propose to make any objection to concurrence in the conference report, for the reason that I think the others are in such need that it is the duty of Congress to give them this reliet as" promptly as possible.” Mr. Cullom asked how many claims were dropped from the bill, and Mr. Faulkner answered: “Eleven claims and three death cases were dropped out; and in the case of all but one of the death cases there is no comment, no crilicism, made by any de- partment officer or member of Congress, or by any one else I know or have been able to learn of. Why those claims were strick- m the amendment I do not under- stanc There was no further debate, and the re- port was adopted without division. SSS ee Bloomers Must Go. t. Louis 1 publie. ‘The present season will see the passing of the bloomer costume for wormhen wo ride a wh Leading dressmakers have set the scal of their disapproval on the Lioomer costume, and therefore its days are numbered. Already the fact of the cemnation is noticeable. Society women con- -bave ordered costumes in which the bloom- er has no part, and the women of lesser ncte will not be slow in following their ex- ampl. The first cestumer of note to stop making bloomers was Manby of Paris. He had taken a firm stand, absolutely refusing to make a bloomer costume for any custoin and his arguments when asked for reasons why he condemns the volum:aous bags take this shape: “The q of cloth used makes them unbearable in aot weach- er, and it is impossible to keep them clean. ‘the dirt and dust come in- between the plaits and folds, necessitating inc biushing, and they never look really clean, especially when made in dark colors. On the wheel they neither improve a bad fg- ure nor show a good one. The rider with small limbs and hips looks ridiculous in them, while the rider with large hips who takes to the bicycle to reduce her we: dressed in bloomers, is a bad advert for her tailor or dressmaker, and the laugh- ing stock of people of good taste. man with a good figure should hic bloomers, and there is hardly a tirst-class tailor who would willingly underiake to make them for figures good or bad. Se A rancher, whose place is on the bottom along the Willamette slough, below Hol- brcok station, was in the city yesterday to find out whether he had any recourse against the United States fish commission for the introduction of carp into the rivers of this section. He says these fish are destroying his meadows by eating his grass and grubbing up the roots. As the water overflows his meadow, the carp follow it up in thou- sands, the small ones weighing about ihree pounds pushing their way up where the water is only three inches or so in depth, and clearing off all vegetation, so that when the water recedes he will have umd flats in the place of meadows. He says that while looking at the fish eating his grass on Sunday he got so mad that he took off his shoes and stockings and went out into the shallow water and attacked them with a hoe. He slashed a lot of them in two, but when tie drove be- come alarmed and made for deep water they bumped their noses against his shins and came near knocking him off his feet, and his ankles are all black and blue from the thumping he got. As for driving the carp away he says he .aight as well have tried to sweep back the rise of the Colum- bia with a broom. ———__+e+-____ Charging a Bear With Bayoncts. From the Lovden Globe. Russian soldiers in Siberia are not only encouraged to exercise thelr martial ardor on big game, but are actually led out in squads to take part in the hunt. On a re- cent occasion a local police inspector join- ed in the hunt, and got two of the soldier beaters to act as his bodyguar]. When the bear came merrily romping toward him over the snow, the inspector got flurried, missed with both barrels, flung down his gun and buried his head in the snow, seck- ing to burrow out of sight. The bear came on in a great fury. Two of the soldiers waited till he came to close quarters, and turned him back with a volley. They’ then charged with fixed bayonets and finished him off in true military style. They have been rewarded for their presence of mind in saving the Hfe of the guardian of the peace by having their photographs hung in their headquarters and being each presented with one ruble. eee — A Napoleonic Legend Spoiled. From the Paris Daily Messenger. ‘The Napoleonte legend tells how Napo- leon, while Moscow was in flames, found time to draw up a decree organizing the ‘Theater Francais. Alas! the story is not true. The French national archives have recently been overhauled, and {t trans- pires that Napoleon was in Poland when he received the decree ready to be signed. He there signed it and sent it back to Paris, but in the margin wrote the follow- ing: “To be forwarded when the army will be at Moscow. It is his majesty's inten- tion that the decree shall be dated from thet town.” The archives do not say whether the decree was sent to Moscow or not, but it was certainly not drawn up there. ————_+e+_.
