The meteorological sum: for the menth of June, from observations taken at Brace’s drug store, corner of 30th and M shows an interesting state of af- The month was unusually cool. The temprrature reached @ degrees or less on seventeen days, and was below 50 degrees on three days, a condition which is un- ‘usual. The maximum temperature for the month was 96 degrees, registered the 3uth, while the minimum was 4% degrees, giving a monthly range of 53 degrees. The mean temperature for the month was 68.6 de- grees. There were twelve clear days, ten fair ones and eight cloudy da: The total rainfall for the month was 2.66 inches, which would make a mean daily rainfall of nine one-hundredths of an inch. There Were fifteen days upon which one one-hun- dredth or more of an inch of rain fell. Thunder storms occurred on seven days. The prevailing direction of the wind was from the northwest. Total of Seventy-Five Days. John Caton, aged thirty-eight years, who one Christmas day several years ago was shot by Sergt. James Haney in self-defense, was arrested by Policeman Fennelly on a charge of disorderly conduct and profanit: The mother of the prisoner appea against the boy and gave her testimony. The policeman wanted to prefer a charge cf threats against him, as he had threaten- ed to kill his mother. When the case was heard in the Police Court Judge Kimball sent him down for fifteen days in the dis- erderly case and sixty days on the charge of profanity. Sales at Stock Yards.

Baker, who lives near Fort Myer, and wh) is employed at Schutt’s saw mill at 30th and Water streets, met with a painful accident yesterday afternoon. The thumb of his right hand was in some manner caught in the saw and terribly lacerated He was taken to the Emergency Hospital by his friends, where it was found that the thumb was so badly injured as to require amputeticn. Entertainment Was Pleasing. The entertainment given last evening by Weodruff’s Aristocratic Six for the benefit of Mt. Tabor M. P. Church, proved to be a very popular affair. The club is composed of one young man and five young ladies, whose work last evening stamps them as excellent burnt cork artists. The enter- tainment will be repeated this evening, this time for the benefit of the Bell Home for Children at Colonial Beach. Sales of Realty. Benjamin Bevier and others have sold to Jehn F. Waggaman, lots 45 and 46 of block 18, Wesley Heights, at an unknown con- sideration, but subject to a trust of $1,050. Edgar Bevier has sold to the same party lets 47 and 48 of block 18, subject to a like trust. The consideration is placed at only a nominal figure. - —>——_—_ ‘To Be Appointed to the Navy.

The Australian team of base ball players now making a tour of this country and who will play the Bureau of Engraving team here Saturday, played in Philadelpaia yesterday and the Press says of the game: “The Australians furnished considerable amusement for the few hundred people within the grounds while at the hat. They did their best to look like real base ball players, but while at the bat their actions were funny. Each batter insisted on stoop- ing low down and placing the end of the willow stick on the plate as if attempting to Keep a bowler from knocking the stuff- ing out of the wicket. “Yhe bleacherites had great fun angaroos and all through the yells of “ice,” “straighten up,’ gh the alr. y batted in a style not s ‘Lady Nine,’ and MeFeuridge had port watching them swinging at his curves.

Base Ball Gossip. The Senators wound up their barn-storm- ing tour yesterday in Jackscn, Mich., play- ing the club representing that town and winning by the score of 13 to 8 Hillary Swaim and Win Mercer did the twirling for the touriscs. The Senators renew the league fight to- day at Cleveland, and “Silver” King is touted to pitch. Jimmy Rogers, the ex-Senator and lately Louisville's manager, has signed to play second base for the Springfield, Mass., Eastern League team. The game arranged between the Sham- rocks and Bureaus for next Saturday has been postponed until Monday on account of the latter team meeting the Australians. A great many people not familiar with the ways of the National League cannot understand how the big gap came into the playing schedule, leaving two days open for the Senators for exhibition purposes. The games in Chicago and Cincinnati should have been played in the east, but on account of the great drawing powers of these two cilies the games were trans- ferred. The Senators had not postponed games in the windy city, and as a result nothing was left them but exhibitions with semi-professional clubs. Some day the local management will try Washington on a holl- day and will be surprised at the way the enthusiasts turn out. The turn out “at Chicago, about 11,000 for two games, could easily have been beaten in this city. Charley Esper has been suspended by the St. Louis manager. Guess why? For eighteen consecutive innings last week Theo. breitenstein figured in a goose- egg rolling. T shut-outs within four days is quite ar rd. The Louisville management has been slow to recognize home talent, and the man who decided to give Major Hock a trial at second base is entitled to the congratula- tions of the fans. Connie Mack’s Milwaukee team has won thirteen straight games in the Western League. The Brewers are fast crawling up on the leaders. z Any time that Louisville wants to give a quit claim to the services of Fred Clarke, Washington will be able to give him a toe- hold. Frederick the Great ‘made several hair-raising catches during the Cincinnati series, and he batted as if the ball was an old friend of his—only 385. Colonel Evans has now succeeded in fool- ing three National League clubs. His de- livery is very deceptive. He can pitch a slow ball with a drop curve, an inshoot or an out, and send each one with as much apparent speed as Rusie uses when he de- livers a fast straight ball. Brooklyn is after Pitcher Joe Yeager, who has been on the Lancaster team for the past three years. Mr. Byrne offered Pitcher Chauncey Fisher and a good-sized bonus for Yeager. Baltimore and Philadel- phia would also like to secure Yeager, but be has refused several offers to play at Baltimore, which ts his home. Manager Buckenberger says he will not protest Toronto, because it isn’t necessary. The Eastern League constitution provides that all games played by any club having farmed players shail be thrown out. He will merely call the attention of the jeague’s board of directors to this rule.— Toronto Exchange. Buck has another guess. There are two pitchers in the league that the Orioles really respect. finer are Amos Rusie and Theodore Hreitedstein. In speak- ing of Breitenstein the other day, Keeler said: ‘There is one of the best pitchers in the business. He and Rusie are two men that we do not care ecesn iD against very often. Breitenstein is ‘ne of the few left- handers who can locate the plate when he wants to, and In addition’ to this he has terrific speed, sharp curves, and there is not a pitcher in the league that fields his Position better.” Six times the Baltfino: have walked out on the Cincinnati:Park’ with heads up and chests thrown out, and stepping as high as three-time penhanf winners ough! to step. Six times they have sneaked of the Cincinnati Jot loakingcas cheap as a sheep-killing dog. The Reds have only to win one more gaine, and they will have the honor of having won the series from the champions. In any event, the best that the Baltimores can do with the Reds in their series is to make a draw. “Every time I see ‘Mugesy’ McGraw I think of a game he and Umpire Batts won from us at Baltimore in 1894," said Elmer Smith. “Old Red Ehret was pitching, ard holding Baltimore even until the eigath, when with two men on the bases and one out ‘Muggsy” bunted along the first base line. Red wabbled over and was reaching for the ball when ‘Muggsy’ stopped long enough in his sprint to give that sphere a kick. That Brooke was a pretty good punter, but ‘Muggsy’ broke all records. ‘the hall sailed to the Baltimore club's dressing room in right field. Red Zave McGraw the laugh as he chased around, expecting that he would be called out and the other run- ners sent back, but ‘Muggsy’ got ihe last smile, for Betts allowed all thre: runs to count. After the decision was rendered it was warm enough to heat a twelve-rocm house in zero weather.” Jimmy McJames {s the pitching wonder of the year. For three weeks past reports have been coming in from all along the cir- cuit to the effect that this McJames was the best pitcher in the business; that bos- tile teams feared him with shuddering hor- ror, and that he in short, Grand Googoo and Chief Chimpanzee of the whole league. This seemed very doubtful. Peo- ple around town know Jimmy McJames, and know that he used to be so wild that e couldn’t get a ball over a plate nine- teen feet in diameter. They didn’t know all of Jimmy's tricks, however. Little did they imagine that James McJames had taken his curves to Hagenbeck’s best hon tamer, and had all the wildness drilled cut of them. When they became so tame that they would jump a rope, hop through a hoop, and let the keeper put his head in- side their mouths, Jimmy took them back again. And how he did pitch yesterday!—Chi- cago Times. Joe Kelly and “Muggesy” McGraw were the targets for most of the wordy n:issiles from the crowd of kidders and joshers. Umpire Burnham once told a story in the Enquirer about Joe Kelly carrying a look- ing glass In his base ball cap, so that he could arrange his hair and keep his bangs in position. Stub Brown, when he joined the Reds, brought stories along with him to the effect that Kelly not only carried a little mirror in his uniform, but a pocket comb as well. These stories were rot talten seriously, but a little incident ce- curred in yesterday’s game that seems to confirm the story that Joe thinks * well of himself.” Joe had a hard ch in the last inning. He ran hard for a that he didn’t get. In his efforts to reach the ball a litle mirror jumped out cf his pocket and fell to the ground. It did rot escape the eyes of a half dozen of the bleachers. When the sides ch they called Eddie Burk’s attentio ly’s loss. Burke picked up the mirror, and st as Kelly was getting in the omnibut Miller slipped up and,said; some- thing you lost, Joe.” Kelly blushed to the roots of his hair, grabbed, ,the mirror and hastily put it In his ‘Then the crowd hooted and jeere Kelly tock their kidding good-naturedly. Some of the cther members of the chathpion team acted as though all their frienis were dead.— Cincinnati Enquirer. Ps TENNIS AT ORANGE. Some Exciting Pln¥ in Expected To- dny. The middle states tennis-tournament was continued at Orangé, N. J., yesterday. Larned was in fine form, defeating Ward in two straight sets., Steyens won from Miles and Millett was: vanquished by Whit- man. The attendance was large and the matches most interesting. The playing today will be exciting, as Larned will meet Whitman and Stevens will meet Paret. Larned and Stevens are expected to win, and thus come together in the finals. Clarence Hobart, holder of the cup, will contest it. This match will be played Saturday. Yesterday's follow Men round Larned lett, beat Hol- combe i Consolation singles—First round: Irving Griffin beat Montgomery Ogden, 5—6, 35-6, 6-1. ———— he Western Saddle. From Lippincett's. Be it known that he who has ridden only on an English pigskin will find that there are things he has no knowledge of when first he throws a leg over the stock saddle of the west; and when he has seen a bron- co-buster ridge a bucking mustang on its native heath, he must admit that although the cowboy may be neither neat nor well- mannered, he could yet give points on rough riding to those who follow the fox- heunas. As the cowboy’s mode of riding is dis- tinctive, so is his horse-furniture, and it is admirably adapted to his particular needs. The stock saddle, for instance, is as differ- ent from the English hunting or purk sad- dle as a park drag is from a trotting sulky; yet each is perfectly suited to the purposes tor which it was designed. The stock suddle is of Spanish-American birth, and must be heavily built—sometimes forty pounds in weight—in order to have the requisite strength, for the high horn or pommel Js necessary to the cowboy in all the uses of the lariat, or “rope,” as it is now almost universally called, and thus it is required to stand the most sudden and severe strains. The rope is a very essential article of the cow-puncher’s equipment. It is ordinarily about forty feet long, and can be thrown with accuracy perhaps thirty feet by the average puncher, although some use it ef- fectively at a distance of ten or fifteen fer further if its length is proportionately greater. In catching stock or in hauling anything, be it a mired wagon, a bogged steer, or wood for the camp fire, the rope is given a double turn around the horn, and the saddle must be strong indeed to endure such work. Moreover, it must be tightly girthed over the heavy saddle blankets, and this calls for the cumbersome cinch rigging, which in most parts of the west is double. SS Liberal With Her New Husband. From the Indianapolis News. Mrs. Mary Shew of Shelbyville, Ind., who yesterday asked a firm of lawyers to find her a husband, whom she immeciately mar- ried, is evidently determined that he shall have no cause to repent bis rashness. William Downward, who sc suddenly be- came a benedict, ten minutts before he was called from the street-by the attorneys and introduced to Mrs. Shaw.was living from hend to mouth and wearing old clothes. Immediately after the marriage he was taken to a clothing store Py his bride and given two new suits of ctothirg. After this he was marched into a barber shop, and when the artist had finished with him the bride handeg the knight of the razor a $2 greenback, anu, taking Down- ward by the arm, led*the Way to a jewelry store, where the new’ husband ‘was given a handsome watch. They’then went to an ice créam parlor, wh¢re they had supper, including ice cream, ‘cak# and numerous other good things, all’bf ch Mrs. Down- ward paid for. She ‘also treated all who cared to accept her hospitality. On reaching their elegant home in the country the neighbors for miles around were awaiting them, having been informed of the marriage of Mrs. Shaw by telephone, and the spread that followed was no small one. The bride introduced her husband to her friends. ‘This morning the bride and bridegroom drove to town behind a fine span of horses, and those who a few hours before would pass “Old Bill” Downward on the streets without noticing him were climbing over ene another to shake his hand. At the court house his wife conveyed to him 160 acres of fine land. The bride places her wealth at $60,000. ant’ ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers.

Hope ef Merchants for Abandonment of the Five-Galion Strect Sprink- ler — General News. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 8, 1897. Considerable interest is being taken in the new city council, which meets Tuesday night next for the transaction of regular business. It is known that a nuntber of the newly elected members are in favor of improvements, but how far they will be able to carry out their ideas is a matter of speculation. It is hoped that some radical change will be made in the matier of street improvements, and that some definite ac- tion will be taken looking to the imme diate care of King and Washington streeis, both of which are in a rough condition almost from end to end.

Representative Kitchin yesterday intro- duced in the House a resolution for a con- stitutional amendment similar to that pro- posed by Mr. Linton of Michigan in the last Congress, prohibiting the passage of any law by Congress or any state respect- ing the establishment of any religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or of aiding by appropriation any church, relig- ious society, institution or undertaking which is wholly or in part under sectarian control. ——————— Promotions in the Army. By direction of the President, the Secre- tary of War has prescribed a new system of examinations in the army to determine the fitness of officers for promotion. Among other things, the order just issued provides that examinations shall be so con- ducted as to show the officer's ability to make pi of all he has learned rather than committal to memory of data, whi nder ordinary conditions, he would obtain from books of reference. e+ Got a Good Spanking. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A suburban car had stopped at Grand avenue, whea a small boy threw a large “sizzer” into the lap of the wife of a prom- inent attorney who has an office in the Commercial building. Her new summer gown was ruined. So exasperated did she become that, forgetting her dignity, she jumped off the car, seized the grinning urchin, turned him over her knee and be- labored him vigorously. The motorman was so surprised that he waited until she had completed her task. The lady’s face flushed with triumph, and then quickly changed to a look of embarrassmeni when she found the eyes of all the passengers riveted upon her as she again boarded the car and sank down in the seat beside her husband. He was the most surprised per- son in the car, and the boy out of it. The GURSE Of mankind—contagivus blood poison—claimed as its victim Mr. Frank B. Martin, 928 Pennsylvenia avenue, Washington, D.

Probably in the far northwest and in the unexplored fastne of the Rocky mountains there may be a few more. Ail the rest have disappeared, except two or three small herds in captivity. One of these is owned by Mr. Bass. Excepting his herd, the only buffalo in Indiana ts the rampant specimen on the great seal of the state of Indiana. Set are made only by us: 906 F Street.
