Representative Pitney of New Jersey was in the city this morning. He is a mem- ber of the joint committee of Congress appointed at the last session to investi- gate the charitable and reformatory in- stitutions of the Distriet.. Mr. Pitney is on the House committee on appropriations, and when the District bill was under con- sideration in the House took a lively in- terest In the charities items. “The special committee on charities has not had a meeting up to this time,” said Mr. Pitney to a Star reporter today. “No meeting has been called, and I do not think the committee will get to work until after Congress assembles. I have not had time to make any investigations upon my own account during the summer and fall, nor do I think any other member has done 80.”” Authority for the Investigation. The investigation was directed by a pro- vision in the last District appropriation bill as follows: “That a joint select committee is hereby authorized, to consist of taree Senators, to be appointed by the presiding officer of the Senate, and three members of the House of Representatives, to be appointed by the Speaker of the House, which select com- mittee shall make investigation of the charities and reformatory institutions of the District of Columbia, and especially of those for which appropriations are made by this act, as respects their relations to the government of the District of Colum- bia and to the United States, whether by special charter or otherwise, their effl- ciency, their management and resources, whether by appropriations. investments or otherwise, and also what portion, if any, of appropriations heretofore made to them have been used for the purpose of main- taining or aiding by payment for serv- ices, expenditures or otherwise any church or religious dencmination or any Institution or society which is under sectarian or ec- clestastical control; whether such chari- table or reformatory institutions are ef- fective, economical in their organization, taethods and expenditures to provide for the poor and destitute in the District of Columbia: whether it is practicable for the Commissioners or other authorities in the District to make contracts or to otherwise provide for such care of the poor and desti- tute with any of said institutions, and, if so, which of them and to what extent within the limitations of the policy herein- before declared; and, if not, the probable expense of providing and maintaining pub- lic institutions for such purpese. “Said committee shall make report as soon as practicable after the beginning of the next session of the present Congress, including in such report any changes by them deemed advisable as respects the methods of dealing with the charities and the reformatory institutions of said Dis- trict. Said committee is authorized to sit during the recess, and the necessary ex- penses of the committee, including clerical and stenographic work, shall be paid out of the contingent fund of the Senate and House of Representatives, jointly, on the certificate of the chairman of the commit- tee.” The Committee. In accordance with the foregoing law the members of the committee appointed by the two houses of Congress were Senators Harris, Faulkner and McMillan and Repre- sentatives Pitney, Dockery and Blue. Sen- ator Harris declined to serve, and no one was appointed in his place. A question might arise, therefore, as to who is chair- man of the joint committee, and whether the committee is complete. It is thought, however, that this apparent embarrass- ment will not prevent operations on the part of the House members of the com- mittee, but that as soon as Mr. Blue, Mr. Dockery and Mr. Pitney get together they may commence the preliminary work of the investigation on their own account. A YOUNG WIFE'S DISAPPEARANCE. Some Reasons to Suppose That She Has Eloped. A good deal of talk has been occasioned within the past day or two by the disap- pearance of a young married woman who is well known, especially in German circles, in Washington. The fact that a young man whem she has known for a good many years left town at the same time lends color to the belief that there has been an eloperrent. The ycung woman is Mrs. Rosa Ager, who lived with her husband on a farm about two miles beyond Brookland. She is the daughter of Mrs. Pfluger, and comes of a family of means. She {s not more than twenty-five years of age, and was married eight years ago to Rufus Ager, who is employed on the dairy farm that 1s operated by his father, Mr. J. B. Ager, a prosperous and well-to-do citizen, who car- ries on a large milk business in’ Washing- ten. Among the men who worked about the farm and drove one of the milk wagons was a young fellow by the name of George Smith, who fermeriy worked for Mrs. Pfluger, but went to the Ager farm after Miss Piluger became Mrs. Ager. He was regarded as a first-class farm hand, but recently the young husband had reason to suspect that he was too much attached to Mrs. Ager. It is sald now by friends of the family that matters went so far that Rufus Ager threatened to shcot his wife and young Smith unless there was a radical improvement. Mrs. Ager insisted that his Jealousy was unfounded. and, partly for the sake of their seven-year-old daughter, the husband agreed to let the matter drop. Wednesday evening Mrs. Ager and Smith were missed from the farm and since then nothing has been heard from them. Smith was in the habit of going to Florida to work through the fall and winter, and it {s sur- mised that the pair have left for the sunny seuth. Ss Ex-Policeman Williams’ Case. The case uf ex-Policeman Daniel Will- jams, charged with stealing nearly $12,000 of the Police Court's funds, will be investi- gated by the grand jury next week. It is probable that several indictments for lar- ceny and embezzlement will be returned. The ex-officer is now under $3,000 bail, and it 1s thought that this amount will be in- creased when ke fs called in court to plead. When the case {s tried the story of the defendant's wrongdoing will be told, and 4: will then be shown what effect the out- law races had on the accused. pases eave Virginia Republicans Active. The Virginia Republican Association de- cided last night to procure 100 uniform overcoats and black silk hats to wear in the inauguration parade. It was also de- cided to attend in a body the jollification meeting at Central Market Hall December 3. F. D. Lee, who presided over the meet- ing; W. H. Nelson, who was secretary, and J. H. Harrison were appoint2d a committee to confer with the managers cf the jollifi- cation. The association will complete its arrangements at a meeting next Tuesday night. a Funeral of John Minor. It was estimated that over fifteen hun- dred people called at the Minor residence on 3d street southwest to take a look at the remains of John Minor, who was kiil- ed by Barrel Turner, after the body was carried home. Over five hundred colored peo- ple followed the funeral procession to Har- mony cemetery Thursday, where the burial rites were conducted by St. Stephen's Lodge, Crowds had gathered and were in wait- ing all along the street over which the procession passed. ———— The Palats Royal “Opening.” ‘The holiday opening next Monday at the Palais Royal is certain to crowd the store with shoppers who are already on the look- out for suitable Christmas presents, and who realize that but twenty-seven shopping days yet remain before that great festival. A fine array of articles appropriate for holiday gifts wili be displayed, and the opening will doubtless prompt thoughtful ones to begin making their selections while the stocks are complete and while they may profit by the special prices made as a souvenir of the occasion, ~ SATURDAY; NOVEMBER 21, 1896-24 PAGES, RAILROAD MEETING. Annual Gathering of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railway Company, which is owned and controlled by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company, was held at Cincinnati Thursday, and the old board of directors was re-elected. This also insures the re- election of President E. R. Bacon for an- other year when the directors meet for reorganization. In view of the fact that it has beer be- cause of the defiant attitude of the Balti- more and Ohio Southwestern Railway Company toward the Joint Traffic Associa- tion on the subject of passenger rates between Cincinnati and St. Louis ru- mored that the Baltimore and Ohio was about to withdraw @rom the assoviation came to be generally credited in railroad circles, much interest has been manifested in many quarters to learn whether the true status of affairs would be made known the annual meeting of the stockholders of the B and O. Southwestern. As the refusal of the baltimore and Ohio Southwestern, through its owners, the Bal- timore and Ohio, to comply with the orders of the Joint Traffic Association, ccnsti- tutes a grave offense, according to the rules of that body, there has been consider- able anxiety to learn what the Joint Traf- fic Association proposec to do about it. Thus far they appear to have decided to ignore the action of President Bacon. On ‘this subject President Bacon gays in his report: “The Joint Traffic Association went into effect on January 1, 1396, but un- fortunately for this property several lines competitive to it did not join the associa- tion, and these competitors outside of the association were enabled to take traffic at rates which were prohibited to this’ com- pany, the result of which was that the increased traffic, which the company had a right to expect during the last six months of the year, was not realized, and a sub- stantial part of the net earnings for the first six months of the year were lost in the second six months. “The matter is receiving the attention of the board of managers of the Joint Treffic Association, and it is believed that carly in the next fiscal year such determination will be made as wil! pro r this company from these traffic condi iors, which have prevailed during a poztion of this fiscal year.” Continuing, the report says: “The gross earnings for the fiscal year amounted to $6,458,395, and operating expenses,$4,258,225, an increase in the former, as compared with the previous year, of $135,560, and in the latter of $271,221, thus producing a net decrease of $135,561 In reference to the report that the Balti- more and Ohio might, under certain con- tingencies, withdraw from ‘he Joint Traffic Association, as above hinted, it is proper to state that Receiver Murray of the Balti- more.and Ohio stated within a few days past that no such move was contemplated by himself or his coreceiver, Mr. Cowen. —_———.—_ Beautiful Conceptions In floral decorations for weddings, recep- tions, etc., skillfully carried out by Gude, 1224 F.—Advt. ——_.—__ If you want pure milk buy from the Bellevue Dairy—there is no danger of ty- phoid fever or diphtheria.

The push cart merchants who spend most of their time dodging the police and obstructing the entrances to stores about the neighborhood of 7th street and Penn- sylvania avenue give the police more trou- ble than almost any other class of offend- ers. Some of these men have been arrest- ed at least twenty times, but the small fines imposed have been paid and the law again violated. Judge Kimball says that the merchants have some rights which the court will protect. Yesterday the court raised the fine to $10, and James Costas was the first one to pay the increased amount. In impcsing this fine the judge said he hoped it would serve as a warning to others. ——_> The Kindling Wood We Use To make us popular is rush business and small profit. 5-Ib. boxes finest creamery butter at $1.35.

To the Eaitor of The Evening Star: Doubtless the person: who edited the names for the new library building “had troubles of his own,’’ but I think he did not go far astray when he selected Walt Whit- man to adorn the walls. Whatever some folks may think of Whitman's poetry there are many others, especially in Europe, who regard him as the most original and virile America has yet produced. There is some- thing more to poetry than rutilant rhythm, Jingle and tricks with words. But there are others. The line had to be drawn some- where, and if the names of many dead authors have been omitted it certainly was good iaste tu drop those of the living. Let me make a suggestion. Cannot we add to the glories of this beautiful bullding (painting the lily as it were) by adorning the walls of some of the rooms, like tie one set apart for Senators, for instance, with portraits in oil of famous authors? All those who have traveled abroad know how much ofl paintings add to the interest of gaileries, as the National Portrait Gal- lery in London; and how far short marble comes to giving a good idea of a man or woman. Would it not be possible to com- mission Mr. Watts, the leading portrait painter of England, to paint for the library Portraits of such persons, say, as Shakes- beare, Milton, De Foe, Cowper, Coleridge, Dickens, Browning, Charlotte Bronte, Ten- nyson, Carlyle, Hudibras, Chaucer, Swin- burne, Scott, Wordsworth and others equal- ly as worthy? Why not have one room for American portraits, one for English, one for French, for German, for Italian. and so on? At least we might make a be ginning with our own first-class authors.
