The stove is for use in the heated months of summer for reducing temperature, just-as stoves heated by fire are used to raise the temperature in winter. By the use of salt, a small quantity of Ice, and a patented chemical, the most intense degree of cold is secured. So great is the cold that it is as dangerous to touch this cold stove when in operation as it would be to place the hand on a fire stove at a high degree of heat. The skin is instantly taken off, and painful injuries are the result of the siight- est contact. Prof. Watts states that dur- ing the hottest weather the temperature of a room may be run down and made pleas- ant by the use of this novel device. The hew process was discovered by a college mate of the teacher of the Still Pond school. The cost of operating the stove is very slight. ——+e-+_____ If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

DISCUSSING THE CHANGE EVENING STAR HEADQUARTERS, CAMP WASHINGTON, FORT WASHINGTON, Md., June 15. The encampment of the D. C. N. G. at Fort Washington is drawing to a close, the second and concluding haif of the outing being reached this morning. If the next four days shall prove as entirely fruitful, in a military sense, as has been the case up to date everybody will be more than satisfied. With the exception of the storm Sunday afternoon, the weather all along has been all that could be desired. The health of the camp is really remarkable, while the feeding and quartering of the men are such that logical complaint cannot be lodged in that direction. Although but a small amount of leisure is allowed the guardsmen, they seem to be enjoying them- selves thoroughly, and will unquestionably return to Washington much benefited in more ways than one by the outing. There was a rather unfortunate incident last evening. A large number of visitors were forced to spend the night in camp, ow- ing to the failure ef the steamboat to make a landing at Fort Washington. It was the general understanding that a boat would Jeave for Washington at 11 o'clock last night, and that announcement was posted on the bulletin board, giving the arrival and Geparture of steamers. Furthermore, the large bell which rings fifteen minutes be- fore the departure of steamers was sounded at 10:45 o'clock. In the belief that there would be a late boat a very large number of visitors remained in camp, principally to enjoy the band concert. Cause for Tears. They gathered on the wharf as the an- ncunced hour grew near, but were very wrought up when the steamer moved up the river as ccolly as you please, making no sign of landing. Then it was that quite an amount of weeping and wailing was in order, followed by considerable excitement. Young ladies who were expected home, and mothers who had not brought their bubies with them, particularly, were in a frenzy. A report of the situation spread rapidly through the camp, and a number of general staff officers hastened to the wharf. The state of affairs was quite serious, for it would Fave been practically an impossibill- ty to find accommodations for all who were placed in the unpleasant predica- ment. Finally, after a long wait, the steam launch “Lovie Randall,” from’ River View, reached Fort Washington, and volunteered to transport to Washington as many as she could carry. The offer was eagerly ac- cepted, and about midnight the launch steamed off, loaded almost to the water's edge, leaving behind, however, about forty or fifty persons. Several officers and men surrendered their tents, and in that man- ner these who could not get home were well taken care of during the night. They received the best to be had at breakfast tris morning, and left for home on the first steamer this afternoon, agrecing that the experience had not been so decidedly urpleasant, after all. Star's Special Wire. The Evening Star tendered the use of its telegraph line to the belated excursioa- ists, and nearly all of them teok advan- tage of the courtesy in order to relieve the anxiety of relatives and friends at home, who would have had no way of knowing the reason for the continued ab- sence of those who had left during the day to visit the camp. ming Star headquarters were by far the busiest place on the reservation until almost daylight. (A representative cf the Mount Ver- nen and Marshall Hall Steamboat Com- pary stated today that there was no rea- son for supposing that the Macalester, the beat referred to, would touch at Fort Washington on her trip home last night, for she was not scheduled to do so. In fact, she was specially chartered last night, as she is liable to be any evening except Friday. It was expressly an- nounced in the advertisements yesterday that the River Queen would mzke the regular trips to Fort Washington, but the evening trip of the Macalester was omitted from the schedule. The company, the agent said, assumed no responsibility for leaving the passengers on the wharf. In fact, the Macalester was out of the com- pany’s hands.) Largest Crowd of the Week. The largest crowd of the week witnessed guard mount yesterday afternoon and dress parade a lttle later. As stated the major- ity of the visitors remained in camp for the band concert, which commenced at 8 o'clock. Company B, 5th Battalion, was mounted as exterior guard this morning. Company B, 2d Battalion, the “Morton Cadets,” will report for duty as provost guard at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. This morning the Grill of yesterday was repeated, the Ist and 24 Regiments being consolidated into one regiment. Col. Alexander of the Ist Regi- ment was in command. For nearly two hours the men occupied the brigade drill ground. After dinner drilling in extended order oc- cupied the attention of the men, each bat- talion being organized as two companies. A larger crowd even than yesterday is ex- pected to visit camp this afternoon, and the guardsmen are ready to entertain all who come. At the band concert this evening the fol- lowing selections are to be rendered: March, ‘Cruiser Columbia; selection, ‘Japanese Danc intermezzo, “Cavalera Rusticana;” quartet, “When the Heart ts Young,” selection, “Gay Old Boy;” waltz, “Love's Dreamiand;” serenade, Aa- die; march, “American Republic.” In the absence of Maj. Harries, Capt. James E. Bell, the next ranking offiecr of the cepartment of rifle practice, conducted the aiming and sighting drill yesterday afterroon. The drill will be repeated this afternocn. It includes instruction in atm- ing and sighting with the regulation mil- itary rifle. The paraphernalia consists of tripods. on which are placed sand bags. ‘These serve to steady the rifles.

The paper is then removed, and the marksman, by again sighting, endeavors to have the paper so replaced, motioning for what he wants, that the Maen hei will be in its original position directly in line witn the sight.

Practical Inxtruetion, That the National Gvard, and the En- gineer Battalion in particular, are not for ornamental purposes only is demonstrated pretty conclusively by a scientific work now in progress. Company B, the con- struction company of the battalion, is rap- idly completing a bridge, designed by Com- pany C, to span’a deep ravine that scp- erates the camp of the 2d Regiment from that of the Ist Separate Battalion. Work on the bridge, which has a span of thirty-six feet, Legan yesterday morning, and will be very nearly completed this evening. The construction company has supplied all its material, and has made al- mest incredible progress in putting up the bridge. manent and substantial structure. Visitors to camp should not fail to view the work of the engincers, as it is a really interesting sight. ‘The location of the bridge is but a few steps from the road that leads to the grounds where dress pa- rade is held., Bill of Fare.

Z Fort Washington Never More. There is some talk among certain ofiicers of high rank, who ought to be in a positioa to know, to the effect that the District ational Guard will never again go into camp at Fort Washington. The next time the brigade is taken into the field for in- struction, so it is rumored, tents will be pitched at Steriden Point, just across the river trom Fort Washington, in Virginia, a new government reservat:on. ‘The un- derstanding {s that Sheridan Potnt is in many ways more suitable for camp pur. poses than is Fort Washington. Although the brigade 1s very much Smaller in size than was the case at the time of the encampment in June, 1505, the percentage of attendance, compiled from figures taken from the morning reports! and filed with the adjutant general, ts neticeably larger tor the present outing. Not only has attendance during the past five days been very much larger than at the camp of 1895, but-it exceeds that of any camp ever held by the District of Columbia National Guard. Another striking feature of Camp Washington is the small number of guardsmen who have been reported absent without leave. Thursday last, the first day of the encampment, the numter of absen- tees without leave was but one-third of that of the first day of the 1895 camp, and the figures have been decreasing steadily day by day. Statistical Showing. Out of the aggregate strength of the brigade there were absent today without leave less than fifty men. This is a really remarkable showing, and attests a marked improvement, particularly in discipline, over the situation which prevailed in the past. It further goes to prove that the iecent radical reorganization of the guard was a wise and sensible step. It would seem from the facts, as they exist today, that all unsuitable material has been elim- inated, and that the brigade, as it stands) be well to remark in passing When completed it will be a per- ; looked about him. He returned to the front of the tent, and, without a quaver in his voice, remarked: “That light ts from the moon, sir; I can’t vee well see my way clear to extinguish A sound resembling a snort was heard from withir the tent. That was all. A sort of subdued laughter filled the sur- rcunding air for a moment, and the cor- poral returned to the guard tent. Until reveille all was still. * ~ Sanitary Condition Excellent.

The guard quarters :were: found In per-"| fect order. Floors have been provided, and the men are comfortatde. The sinks, ex- cept in the camp of the Ist Senafate Bat- telion, which were found to be perfect, Were at the morning inspection in the worst possible condition: Many had not been policed or looked after in a sanitary way since tke beginning of camp. Com- paint being made to the commanding of- ficers, great improvement followed. But even then the condition was far from sat- isfactory. The Hospital Record. Capt. R. A. Pyles and First Lieut. R. A. Foster, post surgeons, have submitted a rerort of the sick and injured admitted to the hosrital between 5 p.m. June 11 and 8 a.m. June 15. Private H. A. Reynolds, Ccmprny A, Ist Battalion, was admitted the 13th instant for general weakness. He rcported for duty the same day. Private O. L. Bell, Company C, 1st Bat- tailon, was admitted the lith instant, for injuries received out of camp. He reported for duty this morning. Private Frederick H. Fletcher, National Guard Band, was admitted the 14th instant for general ~’eakness. He reported for duty this morning. As Private Richerd Herrick, admitted last week, reported for duty this morning, there is no one at present und=r treatment at the hospital. Commissary Sergt. Pinkney W. Smith, the able and hard-working chief assistant to Major Neumeyer, takes emphatic and stal- wart exception to the publication a few deys ago announcing Brigade Sergt. Maj. Corvaizier. as comm!ssary sergeant of the brigade. “I am the oaliest commissary sergeant of thts turn-out and don’t you forget it,” was the threatening announcement of B. C. 8. P. W. Smith, as he halted last evening in front of Evening Star headquarters, with fire in his eye and a commissary cigar in his mouth. “I am going to have a nice little sign painted with a motto for you fellows to adopt. It ‘will read: ‘Credit to the bar- tender who gives you credit,’ or something to that effect. That fellow Corvaizier is no commissary sergeant; he’s chief scullion.” A mixture of diplomacy and honeyed words somewhat appeased the wrathful right-hand man of the commissary general, and he departed for the barracks. It might that The at present, is more compact and eflicieit | Evening Star tent remains standing. than at any time since its birth, ten years ago. Not one officer is absent without leave.

HE WAS MENTALLY UNBALANCED His Death Caused a Sensation in London Financial Circles. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER LONDON, June 15.—The officials of the Union Steamship Company, to which the steamer Scot belongs, confirm the an- nouncement made last night in a special dispatch from Funchal, Island of Madeira, that Barney Barnato, the South African “diamond king,” committed suicide by jumping overboard while that vessel was on her way from Cape Town, which port she left on June 2 for Southampton via Funchal. The death of Barney Barnato has caused a sensation in financial circles. His office here was besieged this morning by hun- dreds of eager inquirers, and even then his firm had not received confirmation of the news. Throgmorton street was filled with ex- cited crowds of brokers discussing the news of Barnato’s death. His self-destruc- tion is generally supposed to have been the outcome of his recent illness at the Cape, which, according to rumors on the stock exchange, was in the nature of brain trouble. African Market Depressed. The African market, as a result of the death of Barnato, was depressed today. Barnato consolidated was 3-8 lower, Jo- hannesburg investment went down 1-4, Chartered Company's securities fell 1-8, De Beres mines went down 5-16, and Rand mines were 3-8 lower. The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon, commentirg on the death of Barney Bar- nato, says he has been mentally unwell for abcut thrce months past, and that he has been under constant surveillance. Although the stock exchange was ex- cited by the news of Barnato’s death, there was no panic. The Barnato companies were not allowed to fall much before they found buyers. The opinion is expressed that the death of the great South African speculator cannot have much effect upon the market, as Barnato has vaid little di- rect attention to business recently. Mrs. Barnato and her children were also on board the Scot. The Barnatos lived in Spencer House for several years and were returning to occupy their gorgeous house, just being fin- ished, on Park Lane, opposite Stanhope Gate. The deceased speculator leaves two children—Leah Primrose, named after his first mine, and a baby boy named Ladas Rosebery. Details From Furchal. FUNCHAL, Island of Madeira, June 15.— The following details have been obtained of the suicide of Barney Barnato while on the passage here from Cape Town on board the Union Steamship Company's steamer Scot, which left Cape Town on June 2 for Southampton, via this port: Barnato, who had been in ill health for some tinie past, seemed to improve after leaving Cape Town, but he was never left alone, and some one was continually de- tailed to watch him. Yesterday, after lurch, between 2 and 3 o'clock in the after- ncon, he seemed to be in very good spirits and Was walking up and down the deck on a passenger's arm. Suddenly Barnaio asked his companion to tell him the time. But before he received a reply he wrenched his arm away and jumped overboard. The fourth officer jumped overboard after him in-mediately, but he failed to save the life of the South African speculator, as heavy seas were runring and the Scot was steaming at the rate of seventeen knois an hour. So soon as possible the steamer was stopped, a life boat was lowered and pulled to the spet where the two men were last seen. The fourth officer was rescued in an exhausted condition, and later the body of Barnato was recovered, floating head downwards. His remains have been embalmed and will be taken to Ergland on board the Scot. His History a Mystery. “Barney” Barnato, who for the past few yéars has been the lion of London socicty and probably the most talked-of man in England, was a mystery to even his most intimate acquaintances. That he was of Jewish origin there admits little doubt, but what his country, parentage or past no- body in England or elsewhere seems to know. For years the English newspapers kept guessing as to his antecedents, and according to their stories he was at one time either a barber, a ‘irummer, a broker's clerk or of a score of other voca- tions equally humble. It was asserted on one hand that he had made his fortune— estimated variously at from $25,900,000 to $100,000,000—by dealing in African diamonds and on the. other hand that when he en- tered the sveculative field in London he was practically penniless. J Mr. Barnato was a young man, probably uncer forty. From the time he entered the London stock exchange, about three years ago, his successes were phenomenal. He plunged heavily in pure speculation and made enormous winnings. Then he branched out and formed a company under the name of the “Johannesburg Consol- idated Investment Company,” with a cap- ital of something over $3,000,000. It was surprisingly successful. Other great deals followed and presently the ‘Barney shares” and the “‘Barnato groups” became the chief topic of the stock dealers of not only the English metropolis, but the finan- cial world. Some time ago “Barney” established the Barnato Bank, capitalized at $12,500,000. The trading in the shares of this institu- tion developed one of the inost exciting Scenes ever witnessed on the Loadon mar- ket.

He hails from Riga in Russia, has crossed Asia afoot, took steamer to Seattle and last evening arrived here from the Washington seaport town. He left Riga on August 27, 1894, and went to Austof, on the River Don, then over the Caucasus to Talis, thence in- to Persia to Teheran. The hardest part of his trip was through Siberia. Rengartner intends to walk to the Atlantic seaboard. He pays his own ex- penses, writes for several Russian papers and is not walking ona wager. ~ ——.__. Another False Clue. Another alleged clue to the whereabouts of Dorsey Foultz, the fugitive murderer, was received by the police yesterday. it was reported that a colored man with a pistol in each hand and accompanied by a woman had been seen on the edge of the woods on Mulligan's Hill. The police turn- ed out and made a search of the woods. They succeeded in arresting the woman, who said her name was Lizzie Lewis. Her male companion escaped, but not until after several shots had been fired at him. Not knowing why the police had pursued them, Lizzie declared she did not know the name of her friend, but she afterward said his name was Rol and told where he lives. —____ Sale of Sam Xavier Mines.

Swindells of the Gecrgetown police precinct reported today that there is a leaky fire plug corner of 30th and K streets. The pump near 34th street, near the inter- section of High street, is out of order. The lieutenant also reported broken pavements in front of 1728 and 1730 32d etreet.

There was a disgraceful scene last night about § o'clock near 3d and E_ streets northeast, and a policeman was very much in demand, but not a bluecoat was to be found. A colored drum corps was on the street, and there was also the usual fol- lowing. A clash between the white and colored boys occurred, and one bey was injured. The stopcock in front of 120% 4th street northwest projects about two inches above the sidewalk, and the police reported it to- day as ‘“‘very dangerous.” Fifty-four arrests were made by the police yesterday, only five of them having been made for intoxication.

Debs Negotiating for a Location for the Socialistic Commonwealth. OMAHA, Neb., June 15.—The officials of the Union Pacific railway have received a communication from Eugene V. Debs _rela- tive to his co-operative commonweaith scheme in Utah. The proposition must be reviewed by the general manager's oflice. Debs desires a large concession of land embracing many hundreds of acres. ‘The railroad company has plenty land in that country, yet the kind Debs wants, sultatle fcr an agricultural community as well as commercial enterprises, is valuable and on the market at good figures. The matter of transportation for the members of Debs’ company will be ar- ranged as with any other colony desiring sales, but with the land donation proposi- tion it is different. It is and always has been the policy of the Union Pacific Com- pany to donate lands for colonies 10 a lim- ied extent and to encourage immigration by such means along its line, but the Debs scheme is much more elaborate than the company has ever been called upon to deal with before. Also Thinking of Washington. A Chicago dispatch says: Edward Bel- lamy and Professors Francis Parsons of Boston, Rev. Myron W. Reed of Denver and others of lesser note, have joined Evgene V. Debs in an effort to create a socialistic Utopia. Tomcrrow Mr. Debs will address the American Railway Union con- vention and the general public at Handel Hall, explaining the new movement. He says 300,000 A. R. U. men will join. They will go to the state of Washington in such numbers as to control its government. In time théy hope to kill off the republic and form in its stead a communistic common- wealth. Professor Parsons is one of the most prominent socialists in the country. He is connected with Boston University Law School and is dean of the educational de- partment of the new “Brotherhood of Co- cperative Commonwealth.” Among the books he has written are “Our Couniry’s naps * and “Public Ownership of Monopo- es.’ With him are A. S. Edwards of Ruskin, Tenn., editor of the “Coming Nation,” and N. W. Lenmond of Thomaston, Me., secre- tary of the brotherhood. The idea is to merge the brotherhood into a new organi- zation of larger scope. The brotherhood Was organized last fall, but has not been able to aggomnplish much except in the way of education. “This is the most important movement inaugurated in this country since the Amer- ican colonists threw off the British rule,” said Professor Parsons. “It is the arrival of the social and industrial revolution. “We have not yet positively decided upon which state we shall move first, but I have little doubt it will be Washington. Gover- nor Robinson of that state is in sympathy with us, and the laws are most favorable to a =. “The people are more inclined to our ideas, too. Only a short time ago they voted by an overwhelming majority to grant extraordinary rights to municipali- ties. A city there has the right to make its own charter. Besides all these reasons, I think wo can have land given us. There has as Legere gee with the governor and others on that point a: outlook is son A‘ ee At an executive session tomorrow American Railway Union will prepare ts form the nucleus for the vast new organi- zation. Then the plan is to throw open the doors to the general public and create & great socialistic society. The next step will be the actual formation of colonies in some state until the organization can be its government. —_-.—__ Will Sell La Esperanza. _ SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.—Chas. p.

Shortly before the downpour of rain on Friday afternoon the driver of a strect watering cart was busily sprinkling 10th street between Chestnut and Walnut streets. When the rain began to descend in torrents he was so wrapped up in his oc- cupation as to be oblivious of his surround- ings. He continued steadily at work, al- though in a few minutes he Wet to the skin, and the rain had accomplished more in these few minutes than he had done during the previous hour. He was finally recalled to himself by the derisive shouts of several small boys, whose cries soon made him see the uselessness of continuing his labors. After the downpour had ceased he drove away. —___-+0-+-_____ In Boston. ‘The Little Patient—“Papa, were mustard plasters used when you were a boy?” Papa—"Yes, Waldo.” “The Little Patient—“It is strange that after so many years medical science should have failed to discover agreeable substitute.” = celebrat ed Brigham Young’s ninety.
