This mascot is in the shape an extraordinarily large black and a tom cat. Without regard to its sex and simply out of pure cussedness the foreman of the company the cat is called “Minnie.” Minnie does not exactly go to fires with the men, but knows as well they do when an arm comes in. In the daytime he sleeps for the greater part of the time on the hose carriage, but at the first stroke of the bell ke springs into an upright pos tion, waits until the horses come forward, then bounds back and out of the w after he made the engine arters the funny sounds time. ed ars for the first which he had supp: es before, began moving, and he t ground to death underneath the This taught him a lesson, which - did not forget, so when the lovd thing begins making its noise now Minnie goes back as the ho come forth. The cat was found by one of the mem- bers of the company about four years ago in the street in front of the house, with a broken hip and almost dead from hunger. He was taken in, bathed in hot water and arnica, and his early re- ery followed. From that time Minnie an to fraternize with the firemen, and seldom Jeaves the station house. He oc- casionally takes shert trips to a grocery, by, where he is a great pet, but in- ably returns in a short time to the engine house. Minnie is as great a favorite with the company horses as he is with the fire- men. While they are lying down at night the cat goes in their stalls and they rub their noses against him, showing the great- est friendliness, which he recognizes by purring and arching his back. The horses never attempt to injure him in any way. Strange to relate, the cat recognizes any- beay in fireman's uniform, and is partic: ulariy companionable with such persons. While he will permit advances from any- body clse, he receives them as If he did not care for them at all, and will slip away at the first opportunity afforded. There is another cat at the engine house which Minnie treats with dignified con- tempt. No. 2 came there under much the same circumstances as Minnie, and he seems to recognize .this fact, and evinces no ticular animosity, but woe betide any other feline which appears at the en- trance or manaxes te slip inside the engine hovse. The fur flies in a minute, for Min- nie is a fighter, above all things, and will not permit any intrusion. The cat is one of the largest in Washington, and the firemen are as fond of him as they are of their engine. Since the time of Chief Cronin firemen who keep dogs in the engine house are not looked upon with favor. It is rather frowned upon by the department. There is a reason for this. In a certain engine house were two buil terrie Chief C nin suffered from insomnia and was in the habit of visiting the different engine houses at night to see that everything was in good order and the watchmen awake. The watchmen in this particular house where the dogs were kept had a habit cf going to sieep out in front in their chairs after 10 o'clock at night. Chief Cronin discovered this in some way, and frequent- ly tried to shp up on the watchmen, but was prevented by the dogs, who would bark and arouse the men when anybody came within half a block of the house. This was what caused the barring of dogs from the engine houses. Se $5.00 Excursions to the Seashore $5.00 vin Pennsylvania Railroad.

Those who are looking for short trips down the river by means of which to make an all-day excursion would do well to con- sult the inducements held out by the steamer Jane Moseley. The Moseley makes a trip every morning, except Monday, at 9 o'clock sharp, and Saturday evening ct 6:30 o'clock for Colonial Beach, sixty-cight miles down the river, and the trip is one of especial attractiveness from the time the boat leaves her wharf in this city un- til the return is made in the evening. The Moseley is considered one of the safest and fastest boats on the river. She is well fitted up with comfortable furnishings, and the cafe to be found on board is un- excelled. The Moseley is manned by capa- ble, efficient and gentlemanly officers, who take every opportunity to look after the welfare and comfort of those who make the trip. Colonial Beach is well known as a resort of unusual mer In addition to the general run of amusements that urc to be found at every excursion rt i which add, of course, to the of the place in a great measure at Colcnial Beach, one can enjoy salt water bathing, crabbing and the best of fishing. The hotel is now open and reacy to give ac- commodations to all who desire them dur- ing the stay at the Beach or those who de- sire to stay over night. ‘The Saturday n:ght trip of the Moseley 1s particularly enjoyable. The sail down the river 1s made curing the most enjoyable portion of the day, and all the historic pomts of interest are in full view. The run to the Beach is made in short time, and the tickets are good to return on the Sunday evening boat. This trip makes one of the most attractive outings offered by excursion resorts on the river. St. Peter's Catholic Knights pat in a very enjoyable day yesterday at Mershall Hall. The Knights took down an immense crowd, and by their hospitality and ar- rangements made for eutertaining those who made the trip added to the reputation they have already caracd. During the af- terncon and evening a cake walk by mem- bers of the Old Dominion Cake-Walking Club, and a musical and literary program, in which a number of well-known Washing- ton entertainers took part, added to the general enjoyment. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division No. 2, will take their annual outing this evening at Marshall Hail, and it is expect- ed that one of the largest crowds of the season will accompany them. ‘The Hiber- nians are always 4 little bit different from other organizations, and they intend that the outing this evening shail be different from any other affair that has yet been given to this popular resort. A carefully planned scheme of entertainment has been worked out, and it is expected that there will be something going on every minute to amuse or interest the excursion- ists until the boat lands in Washington on its return trip. Dancing will be in order, however, as usual, and Schroeder's band Will be on hand to lend its efforts to the general pleasure. The dining room will be ¢pen and ready for business in its usual up-to-date fashion. The Macalester will leave at 6 o'clock, and the boat will be held at the Hall until the last minute, in erder to allow those who make the trip fuil scope for their merrymaking. The success which attended the special excursion of last week to Fortress Monroe, Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Ocean View on the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company's steamers, has decided the man- agement to repeat this delightful trip the coming Saturday. The same reduced rate will be made, tickets being gocd for th return trip on Sunday evening. Steamer fewport News will leave her wharf, foot of 7th street, on Saturday at 7 p.m., arriv- ing at Fortress Monroe and Norfolk early the following morning. Sunday may be spent there, at Virginia Beach or Ocean View, and the steamer boarded Sunday evening, arriving in this city in ample time for business on Monday, thus spend- ing two nights ana one day on the water. The steamer is elegantly furnished, the ride down and back is delightful and Sun- day at any of.the above resorts cannot il to be very pleasant, as the bathing, fishing, sailing, etc., are acknowledged to be the finest on the Atlantic seaboard. Since the establishment of Ocean City, Md., the railroad now runs through th most beautiful parc of southern Marylan and renders this delightful place, which is directly on the Atlantic, the most 2 cessible of all seaside resorts to Washing- tonians, being but four and a half hou from this city. A special train leaves the B. and ©. station every Saturday at pm., going as far as Bay Ridge, whe the steamer is boarded for an hour's sail down the Chesapeake. At Claiborne the train is again taken, which arrivas at Ocean City in time for supper. The trip is prac- tically entirely by di which give a splendid opportunity y the coun- try. Ocean City, Md., httul place a pla ry one being at the seashore can have a thoroughly pleasant time. Return train reaches this city Sunday at 10 p.m. ‘The quick, cool, comfortable way to reach Fort Myer and Arlington is to take the electri at the Aquedvet bridge. Those whe wish to spend an evening in the coun- try can take the cars at the same place for a ride to Fort Myer Heights, Ballston, Fos- toria and Falls Church. Electric cars leav for Arlington every half hour, and for Falls Church every hour from §:30 a.m. to 11:40 p.m. —_ + AMUSE: S. THE BOND STOCK COMPANY.—Mon- day night at the New National the Bond Stock Company will inaugurate a week's engagement, and from all appearances a large and brilliant audience will be in at- tendance to welcome Mr. Bond and his players. The coming of this organization will be a great boon to the stay-at-homes, who will be only too glad to show their appreciation by patronizing the enterprise. Frederic Bond needs no introduction to the theater-goers of this city; his previous en- gagements here have won for him many warm admirers. It is the intention of the company to give the patrons of the Na- tional clean-cut comedy. The bill for the first week is a most happy selection, and will no doubt please all who attend. It is entitled “Where Are We At?’ and is from the pen of Charles Fawcett of London. The comedy has been revised and Amer- feanized by Mr. Bond, and when presented here next Monday night will have the ad- vantage of a week's presentation in Louis- ville, and for a like period in Lexington. thoroughly smooth and bright perform- nee may therefore be looked for. Orders by mail for places for the opening night have been numerous, and the regular sale wili be opened at the box office tomcrrow morning. Summer prices obtain for re- served seats, and a long line of would-be first-nighters is assured for the morrow. FAREWELL OF THE COLUMBIA STOCK.—The Columbia Stock Company has been playing “Niobe” to large and fashion- able audiences this week, and as this is the farewell week of the season of this able company those who have not yet availed themselves of the opportunity of seeing one of the best of summer companies in the Paultons’ funniest play are missing a the- atrical treat. For Saturday night the man- agement has decided to give a mixed bill, made up of specialties. by Mr. James O. Barrows, the second act of “A Scrap of Paper” and the first and second acts of “Niobe.” GLEN ECHO.—The first performance of the vaudeville people secured by Manager Middleton, who will hereafter be in uctive control of Glen Echo, took place last night in the amphitheater and was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic audience. The dif- ferent turns were by Miss Mamie Conway, a vivacious soubrette; Wm. Northcott, a cornet soloist; Tommy Hayes, musical trick bone soloist; Lew Palmer and his little dog Fred, and Prof. Fabrian, a card wizard. All were well received and their efforts elicited great applause. The female or- chestra, the F&dettes, also performed some excellent selections. : ——____ Height of Glencarlyn, ‘To the Editor of The Evening St On page 14 of your ‘Issue for July 17 I see given the height above sea level of places jn the vicinity of Washington.

Mrs. Nellie J, Franklin, wife of W. J. Franklin, a butter dealer, residing at 71 Sheridan avenue, attempted suicide: yester- day afternoon by swallowing two ounces of laudanum.’ She was removed to Gar- field Hospital, where she was sald to be out of danger this morning. Domestic infelicity is said to have been the cause of Mrs. Franklin’s attempt at self destruction. She has been marrie? about three years, and although her mar- ried life had, it is claimed, been happy. up to a short while ago, she has recently threatened to kill herself a number of times. Her husband thinks she is of un- sound mind. The couple livéd alone in the house desig- nated. Yesterday morning Mr. Franklin went to his business as usual, and returned to lunch about 2 o'clock. Upon reaching the house he discovered his wife lying on a bed in her room, and found an empty bot- tle, which had contained laudanum, by her side. Left a Note. On a table near. the bed were pen and ink and several sheets of paper, on one of which was written the following note: “I have deceived my husband and want to die. NELLIE FRANKLIN.” With ra-e presence of mind, despite the terrible shock, the husband took some to- bacco from his pocket and forced it down her throat. This acted as an emetic, and her stomach was relieved of a portion of the poison. An Ambulance Summoned. The husband then ran to Gross’ phar- macy, on 1th street, where the laudanum had been purchased, and telephoned to Garfield Hospital for a physician and an ambulance. When the physician arrived he stated that the patient would likely re: cover, and she was taken to the hospital. Mrs. Franklin is about twenty-one years of age, while her husband is two years her senior. He stated last night that he did not know what could have inspired the note which his wife had written. ATTEMPTS James E. Griffith Swallows a Large Dose of Laudanum. James E. Griffith, a furniture dealer at the southeast corner of 7th and M streets horthwest, attempted suicide last evening about 8 o'clock, by swallowing half an ounce of laudanum. Physicians were sum. moned, who administered antidotes, and by their prompt efforts saved his life. Worry- ing over his business is supposed to have been the cause. Griffith had been morose and despondent for several days, but was not heard to make any threats to kill himself, though he was heard to refer to suicides as “a great deal better off.” About 7:30 o'clock last evening Griffith sent a clerk in his employ to a near-by drug store for a half ounce of landany When it was handed him, on the boy's turn, the man walked down 7th street to a saloon, where he drank a glass of beer, remarking that it would be the last he would ever buy. The would-be suicide then returned to his store, took the poison and sat down. In a few minutes his drowsy condition was noticed by a boarder, who also discovered the vial in his hand. Mrs. Griffith was notified, and was so overcome she did not realize plainiy what had hap- pened. Neighbors who had been attracted to the place started in search of phy and Dr. J. Milton Heller of #1 M street northwest, and Dr. H. M. Deeble of 602 M street were summoned. It was found that the stomach pump was of little use, as much of the poison had been absorbed in the man’s system, so permanganate of pot- ash, a new remedy, was given, and nitro- glycerine injected to stimulate the patient. He was watched the greater part of the night, so that the drug might not get in its deadly work. Griflith has kept the store at 7th and M streets for five years. The family occupies the uper floors of the building. —— ee DISTRIBUTES HER ESTATE. Provisions of the Will of the Late Margaret S. White. Henry H. Bergmann and George M.
