Final Settlement of Accounts Will Probably Show a Balance of Ten Thousand Dollars. ‘The last meeting of the committee having in charge the finances of the inauguration celebration was held last night at the Inau- gural headquarters in the Glover butiding and was largely attended. Chairman John W. Thompson preceded his very gratifying report with a few remarks complimentary to the liberality of the citizens of Wash- ington in answering the cail for subscrip- tions to the guarantee fund and their promptness in meeting the obligations thus willmgly incurred. : The celebration made possible by this pub- lic spirit, said Mr. Thompson, had been the most successful on record and was a mat- ter for every citizen of the District to be proud of. Secretary J. E. Bates then read the report of the receipts from all sources, showing a grand total of $116,066.05, as follows ‘Total receipts from ball tickets.....$4 Total receipts from supper tickets. 2.502 Total receipts from concert tickets. 12,176 50 Total amount paid in on the guar- antee fund to date. - 47,730 00 ‘Total amount paid in to the treas- ure* from sale of privileges. ‘The number of subscribers to the guaran- tee fund wes 324, and, on motion of Mr. Archibald Greenlees, it was decided to re- quest Treasurer Edson to return to them, as early as practicable, the amvunts sever- ally contributed and paid in by them. Chairman Thompson announced that there wouid be a surplus remaining on hand after all bills were settled, the amount of which could not be exactly determined until the executive coramittee tabulated the expendi- tures, which would be done by Thursday night. Regarding the disposition of this surplus, Mr. Thompson called attention to the suggestion made by Mr. W. Scott Tow- ers in an interview with an Evening Star reporter yesterday that it would be an ex- cellent plan to devote it to forming the nucleus of a fund with whick to build a large hall for big gatherings. Chairman 5,692 55 proved in a resolution instructing him to bring the matter to the attention of the executive committee at its meeting Thurs- day night. Before adjournnient Chairman Thompson thanked the members of the committee for their energetic assistance, and on motion of Mr. Parris a vote of thanks was ex- tended to him and also to Capt. A. 3. Taber for the arduous and satisfactory services rendered by him both at the bail and at the concerts which followed. Returning Checks. The checks for the subscribers to the guarantee fund have all been made out and will be sent out Friday next, after the meeting of the executive committee Thursday nizht. Jt is particularly desired that all persons having bills or claims against the inaugural committee should present them at once in order that all business may be settled up and finally disposed of az the mecting Thursday night. Chairman Beli will leave for Florida. in ‘a few days for a week or two to recuper- ate after his arduous work of the past three months. Chairman Lot D. Wine is busily en- gaged collecting the United States flags loaned fof decorative purposes, and re- tae them to the war and navy author- jes. Commissioner of Pensions Dominic I. Murphy has emphatically expressed the hope that tke pension building will never again be used for inaugural ball purposes. The recent ball cost the government about $70,000 for salaries for the pension office clerks, he says, and caused a very in- jurious interruption to the business of the office. Mr. Murphy expressed gratification, however, at the way the committee re- stored the building to its usual working condition. —_—.__ MONARCHICAL NAMES. me Trace of British Rule That May Be Found in Several S From the New York Sun. In one of the paragranhs of the Decla- ration of Independence the signers declare that “the patient sufferance of the Ameri- can colonies” at last “constrains them to alter their former systems of government.” Alcng with the alteration there was in many of the states, and more particularly in the New England states, a complete ckange of geographical designations con- serant with the change from monarchical to repubiican government. In most of the original states no trace wes retained of the titles of royalty or aristecracy such as Cong-ess endeavored to do away with in prohibiting the accept- ance of any such iiile from “any king, prince or forcign state.” But notwithstand- ing this monarchical titles have survived in some of the original states—New York conspicuously among them. There are in New York, for instance, as everybody knows, a Kings county and a Queens coun- ty, both on Long Island; and there is, moreover, Dutchess (Duchess) county on the Hudson river Hine and Richmond coun- ty to the south. There is a Dukes county in Massachusetis, and in Virginia, the most populous of the original states at the time of she Declaration of Independence, there are a King George county, a King Wil- liam county, a King and Queen county, a Prince Edward county, a Princess Anne county, York and Lancaster counties and an Elizabeth City county. There are a Prince George's county and a Queen Anne's county in Maryland, and Pennsyl- vania has York and Lancaster counties, but no nearer approach to monarchicai names. In the extreme south and south- west may be found King counties (there was a vice president named King), but no Kings county as in this vicinity.’ One of the largest of the counties of Washington state, the county which includes the city of Seattle, is King county, and one of the smatest of the counties of Texas, with ap ition of less than two hundred by the last federal census, ts King county, too. But there is no Queen or Queens courty in either state, and the same is tru2 of California, which has, however, a Kings county, the other designations of geographical divisions being to a great extent Spanish. There is no King or Queen county in New Jersey and no monarchi- cal designations of counties in any of the New England states with the one excep- tion ramed, in Massachusetts. But Dukes county, this exception, does not amount to much, consisting of some islands to the south of Buzzard’s Bay and not on the mainlard of New England. New York would appear to be the state in which there has been the closest adhesion to the names of royaliy, for Kingston (King’s town), incorporated in 1872, retained its origi- nal name without any change such as some towns make on reaching the dignity of chartered cities, and there are, more- over. a Kingsbury and a Queensbury, both north of Kingston. and a Georgetown, and there was, up to a few years ago, Kings- bridge in what is now the northern dis- trict of New York, and there is still Kings highway to the*south of Brooklyn and another in Richmond county. In the west- ern states there are no monarchical desig- nations, and, generally speaking, the achievements of patriotic Americans’ are more generally perpetuated there than is the case In the original states. ——_ cee ______ Trying a Policeman. The hearing of Policeman J. M. Austin,on the charge of assaulting and beating Wm. Mason, a coachman for ex-Secretary of Agriculture Morton, on inauguration day at the Capitol, was begun this afternoon before Judge Miller. After Mason had given his evidence Jas. Black took the stand. Black created much amusement by stating that he had tried to get the officer and Mason to settle the case out of court, as he did not think the mat- ter should go before the judge. His rea- son for taking this course was, he said, because he felt that there was too much feeling in Washington already between the white and colored races, and that the country was on the verge of a bl lution ‘or war of races. After some ques- tioning by Mr. C. Maurice Smith, counsel for Officer Austin, Mr. J. D. Croissant was called to the stand. - ——_ The Tammany Hall general committee met last night in New York and indicated tes. DIED ON THE WAY. Had Expired Before He Reached the Hospital. Henry Robinson, a colored man residing at 1923 L street, suffered an attack of epilepsy in a bar room at Jackson City last night, and died before h2 could be brought to this city, or medical assistance sum- moned. He was taken directly to the Emergency Hospital in this city, but by the time he arrivel there life was extinct, and his body was immediately taken to the morgue. Robinson was sitting by the stove in the bar room owned by Joe Thomas, with a cou- ple of friends, when he was suddenly seized by the attack of epilepsy. He was imme- Giately placed in a wagon and, accompanied by J. H. Smith, a watchman employed in Jackso. City,and Sam Broadus,both colored, was driven rapidly to the city. Both his companions aver that he was alive when placed in the vehicle, but neither one is able to say when thie end came, stating that they were too much occupied in hurrying the trip. Life had fled, however, when the hospital was reached. Robinson was em- ployed as a cook in a restaurant, and went to Jackson City yesterday morning. Ac- cording to Broadus, he had not deen drink- ing, and as there are no marks of violence on his body, the alleged cause of his death seems to be the true one. Robinson had a family living at the above number on L. street, and they have been notified of his death: Lively Fire. What for a time threatened to prove an extensive conflagration occurred shortly after 2 o'clock this morning at the dry goods establishment of Bernard J. Young, 912 7th street. As it was, damage to the amount of $7,000 was occasioned, and but for the prompt and vigorous action of the fire department the loss would undoubt- edly have been much greater. Mice gnaw- ing matches was the probable cause of all the excitement and trouble. ‘The fire is of unknown origin. There was a suggestion of incendiarism, but Chief Parris stated to a Star reporter today that from the circumstances when the firemen reached the scene, such was not the case. —— Coal Syndicate. Word has been received of the operations of outside syndicates that are attempting to gain control of the coal mines of Mary- land and Virginia in the vicinity of Cum- berland. The Frick Company is under- stood to be negotiating for coal properties in the above section, while the coke opera- tors from the McConnellsville region ot Pennsylvania and other Pittsburg parties are interested in the purchase. The syndi- cates have acquired considerable property, but whether or not this will result in an increase of price of the commodity remains to be seen. It may mean a reduced supply coming to this section of the country. It is given out that the syndicates which really control the coal trade of Pennsyl- vania are afraid that their mines in the keystone state will soon become exhausted, and that the additional property will be held as a reserve. >—— Shot Down His Wife. As the result of a shooting affray yester- day afternoon near Kaukauna, Wis., one woman lies dead and two other persons probably mortaily wounded. Peter Ross did the shooting. The dead: Mrs. Peter Ross, instantly killed. Wounded: Fred Schaubel, Apple- ton, Wis., shot through the abdomen; Kit- tie Duprei, shot in breast, probably fatally. The victims had driven through Kau- kauna from Appleton during the afternoon, going to a questionable resort. Ross se- cured a rig and followed. Upon arrival at the house Ross drew a revolver and fired, instantly killing his wife, who had left him several weeks ago. He then fired at the other woman, the ball entering her right breast. Sohaubel interfered and re- ceived a ball in the adbomen. Ross sur- rendered to the authorities. Charges. John H. Rostan, who several weeks ago ¥.as sent to jail on a charge of impersonat- ing Detective Lacy, will, it is expected, again be before Judge Milier this after- ncon to answer additional charges which were filed by Mr. Lacy. as he has been brought up from prison for that purpose. It is alleged that Rostan represented him- self to certain railroad officials as an ad- vance agent of the Afro-American League and thereby obtained free transportation between Philadelphia and Washington; also that he obatined $7 on false pretenses from Mr. Wm. Davis of 1500 P street northwest. It is stated that when searched Rostan had in his possession a leter from Recorder ot Deeds C. H. J. Taylor, recommending Rostan as a leading colored democrat of Washington, and also an alleged letter from ex-Secretary Carlisle to Mr. Hanna, asking the latter to give Rostan a good appointment. See More Robberies. Echoes of inaugural robberies continue to be heard at police headquarters. Thomas H. Mitchell of 901 M street has reported to Inspector Hollinberger that March 4 he wes relieved of a gold hunting case watch, chain and charm. The house of John T. Crowley, 1716 N street, was entered some time during March 4 and a quantity of Jewelry stolen. Mrs. A. G. Buhrman of 150) 2ist street was the victim of some dishonest person, who, between March 3 and March 7, re- moved from her house a diamond ring, a ruby ring, a gold bracelet and a gold thim- ble. Mrs. F. F. Hobart of Penn Yan, N. Y., who is stopping at 450 Q street, while near the 8th street entrance of the Post Office Department yesterday either lost or had stolen from her a purse, containing among other things, $14 in cash. Henry White of San Antonio, Texas, is in a decidedly unenviable plight. While on his way to this city for the inauguration Mr. White had stolen from him $300, a gold watch and a ticket on the Chesapeake and Ohio raflroad from San Antonia to Beston and return. Ee Badly Injured. Charles Raney, a marketman who re- sides near Alexandria, met with a painful and serfous accident while returning home from the Center market last night. He had been engaged in selling his produce, and with two other men loaded up the un- sold goods and started to return home. He was driving a team, and near the Long bridge the herses became frightened and ran away, dasfing the vehicle against a telegraph pole. Mr. Raney was thrown out of the wagon with terrific force, and fall- ing in the way was severely kicked by one of the animals. He was rescued from his dangerous icameat and immediately taken :o the Emergency Hospital, where it was found that he had suffered a severe compound fracture of the left leg. The house staff reduced the fracture, and today Mr. Raney was resting easily, having been placed in a ward at the hospital. —_—_——_—_. Opportunity of a Lifetime, From the Chicago Post. She had just returned from a visit to Milwaukee, and something had happened to displease her. “The fact of the matter is,” she sald, “We get swindled in this town and haven't sense enough to know it.” “You must have run across a bargain somewhere,” he suggested, for he knew her failing. ‘Bargain!’ she exclaimed. “‘Why, I tell you, William, we don’t know where to shop to make money. Do you remember that last white shirt I bought you?” He did. He would have sald he did even if he didn’t, but it so happened this time that he did, for it had given him consider- able trouble in one way end another. “Well,” she exclaimed, “I paid just a dol- lar for that shirt in Chicago, and I saw an exact duplicate of it at a marked-down sale in Milwaukee for 98 cents.” “Why didn’t you go on to St. Paul?” he asked. wearily. “Perhaps you could have got the same thing for 94.

The celebration of<the queen's diamond jubilee will bring; many veterans to the front, but there caw scarcely be one more interesting than Lord-Leicester. His state- ment at a meeting.@t Norwich last night that he acted as pageto the Duke of Sussex at her majesty’s coronation can be supple- mented by the fact‘t®at he is probably the only man who, ‘having himself lived through the longest reign in British history, can claim that his father lived through the next longest, that of George HI. Thomas William Coke, the‘fitst Earl of Leicester cf the present credtion, was born, in fact, in the reign of George II, close upon 143 years ago. What a space of time has been compasssed by the lives of father and son may be judged from the fact that “Coke of Holkham” entered parliament over 12) years since, and that after becoming “fath- er of the house of commons,” sitting there for nearly six decades, he retired before Mr. Gladstone was first returned to West- minster. Known at Rome in his youth as “the handsome Englishman,” and described in his later days by Haydon, the painter, as possessing “the finest head I ever saw— the only one which I would choose for Aristotle,” he was one of the stanchest whigs who ever sat in the house of com- mons, and, although that party was out of power during almost the whole period in which he was a member, his attachment to liberal principles never wavered, and he lived to see them triumph in the reform act of 1832, upon the passing of which he with- drew from the commons. Five years later, and just a month after her majest3’s ac- cession to the throne, his long parliamen- tary service was recognized by his being one of the first peers created by the queen, whose diamond jubilee his son and succes- sor is now about to worthily celebrate. gg a Pa His Presence of Mind. From the Helena Independent. He was good-humored, although green, jolly and boisterous and without a care as he seated himself in a box in Alderman Farris’ restaurant down town. He was from the country around Radersburg, «nd he had been drinking. He had come in to see the sights, and he did not care what it cost him. Some of those facts he told the waiter, and some of them the waiter guessed easily enough. He looked the bill of fare over fifteen times, and told a story after each effort. He confided in the attendant that even !f Reuben Rader had -shown some timidity about riding in elevators, on the occasion of a visit to the capital, he wasn’t that kind of a fellow himself, and he ¥ look- ing for elevators, electric iights :nd con- cert halls—and as many cf them as possible —to convince himself that he was not a jay. “You see,” he said, “it s some time since I have been here. ‘The !ast time was 186 I have been back in the mountains mostly ever since. But I read the newspapers whenever I can.” His eye caught the words, “Rum omelet.” With the taste for rum still in him he or- dered one. In due time it came. His at- tention was diverted a moment, during which the waiter deftly ignited a match and touched it to the liquid as he poured it over the contents of the platter. “Great Scott!” the customer yelled, as he turned to the table again. He did not continue to talk, being a man of action. With a sweep of both arms he grasped the tablecloth and threw it over the flames. Rising in his seat he shucked his coat and piled it'on top of the table- cloth.

Chanangne Describes the Process of Hin Successfal Experiments. Londor. Letter to the Chicago Times-Her:ld. Yesterday morning at the Society of Arts Sir Henry Trueman Wood was good enough to show and explain to me the results of some most interesting experiments in chro- matic photography made by M. Villedier Chassagne of Paris. In recent years there has been much doubt if the early expecta- tion of reproducing colors by photography would ever be realized. The impostures that have been attempted by persons who cunningly applied colors to photographs raturailly gave rise to a very decided skep- ticism touching alleged inventions and dis- coveries of color reproducing processes, and even in this instances, though he is morally certain thet no sort of deception has becn practiced, Sir Henry reserves his scientific judgment as to the substantial meriis of the discovery. He has several beautiful photograpks and a transparency in which the hues of foliage and the variations of color in flower and garment and ornament are distinctly defined, and yet with a deli- cacy of gradation and tone that seem to preclude the possibility of their having been laid on by hand. These colors successfully resist microscopic scrutiny into their sup- posed artifice, to such an extent, indeed, that the more minutely and critically they are examined the more completely they lift themselves above suspicion. ‘Though at first glance these photographs appear very like ordinarily colored pictures, it is presently noted that there is an entire absence of brilliant tones; there are no vivid greens, no glowing reds, ro intense blues, all the tones being more or less si dued. This was pointed out particularly in the floor rugs, which, instead of showing the rich oriental positivism of their proper colors, were softened into neutral tones. Without bemg an irrefutable evidence of the honesty of M. Chassagne, it goes far to establish the genuineness of his claim that his photographs are legitimately produced. A colorist using a brush to secure natural effects would most probably have applied the colors as he saw them in the object photographed. Sir Henry, who has gone studiously into the matter with M.. Chas- sagne, though without having been put in possession of the inventor's secret, which is being carefully guarded, gives a very lucid explanation of the process. I repeat it, much in his own words: A negative is taken on a gelatine plate, which has been treated with a solution of cer*ain salts, the negative being otherwise prepared and de- veloped in the ordinary way. A pcsitive is printed from this on sensitized paper pre- viously treated with the unknown solution, and shows no trace of color. It is then washed over with three colored solutions, blue, green and red, the positive taking up in succession the appropriate colors in the appropriate parts, the combinations of course giving all the required varieties of tints, the trees taking on the various gra- dations of green, the sky blue, etc., the flowers showing their proper colors, though not in a vivid degree. Str Henry said: “Last week M. Chassagne demonstrated his pro- cess in the laboratory of King’s College in the presence of Professor Thomson of the Chemical Society, Herbert Jeckson cf King’s College, Captain Abney, the great- est living authority on photographic saub- jects, and myself. The light was extreme ly bad, for the day was fogzy, and our pictures were inferior; still, when treated in the way I have described, they showed color with perfect accuracy and quite suf- ficient distinctness to test the process sat- isfactorily. “One of. the test pictures was of a bunch of flowers in a colored vase, and another was of an Indian brass pot, and the results in both cases were astonishing. There is a good deal that is new, even mysterious, about the scheme. Nothing we know about the action of light justifies us in believing that it can affect the components of a photographic film in such fashion as to give them a capacity of selective absorption, that is to say, the power to take up spe- cific colors from mixtures of various dyes. And if this ts difficult to accept, still more difficult is it to believe that this power can be transmitted through a monochrome neg- ative to a positive. Still, with these pic- tures in view and no disproof of the inven- tor’s claim, one is forced to ae sibility.” Though not a man é to enthusiasm, and rather disposed to look askance at novelties, Sir Henry seems to be pretty well assured in his own opinion that M. Chassagne is about to revolutionize photography and establish a formidable rival to art in its humbler sphere. When the inventor has secured full legal pro- tection of his rights in the discovery the sctentific world may have a chance to ex- periment with the now unknown quantity, but not until he is fortified with paten' will the sagacious Frenchman impart his secret to the curious. _—_+ © ¢—_—___ Sound Money League Meeting.
