From Harper's Bazar. In imagining an English cottage garden an American must begin by utterly aban- doning all pictures of trimly divided plets, and of those “intervals of carth between the flowers” which a lady of my acquaint- ance at home tried so vainly to extinguish in her beautiful domain that she finally abandoned the garden itself in despair. Here around the cottage there are trimness and well-ordered earéh intervals in the vegetable garden, but the flowers gcow jess in beds than in blazing masses, crowd- ‘ng upon one another in every nook and corner, and filling every bit of their al- lotted space; gazing in at the windows of the house also, and eagerly presenting themselves to you when you open the se door in the morning, like excluded kittens or dogs anxious for a breakfast. ‘Far up the porch there grows a climbing ’ as in Tennyson's ‘Gardener's Daugh- beyond the rose are tossing clusters ef iilac and jaurel, and behind that a tree of pink hawthorn, just coming into bloom. In the tangled beds and borders—tangled, that is, by the flowers themselves, never by weeds or grass—there grows a mass of blue hyacinths, crimson tulips, yellow zinnias and mountain fringe, white narcissi, blue and white “old men’s beards,” mammoth bachelors’ buttons, pansies, forget-me-nots, wail flowers, stock gillyflowers, and a host besides. Flights of rough stone steps lead downward, hedged by little rockeries with various ferns, and above these rise rough and even crumbling walls, covered densely with ivies of different species, including the litde blossoming vine known in America as “coliseum ivy,’’ and here growing wild. In the middle there is a lawn, set closely with the little English daisies, and with butter- cups larger than ours. Behind the walls and beyond the irregular neighboring in- closures rise steep wooded hills, for this is what Jean Ingelow would call “a cottage in a chine;” that is, a ravine which ts con- nected with the world only by a flowing brook, and by one of those perfect and im- maculate English roads which are the wonder and despair of every traveling American, so hard and smooth ts their sur- face. U The woods and hedges and all the slopes are more crowded with wild flowers than any corresponding region in America,unless it be Colorado; and the wonder is that, while the more delicate flowers of our own country are apt to die out before cultiva- tion, the native blcoms still hold their own here; and the cowslips, primroses, wall- flowers, gorses, brooms and bluebells keep their place unflinchingly in the most culti- vated regions. A young college athlete at Richmond Hill, Leng Island, saved two lives the other day by making a leap of six feet through the air and strking with his shoulder a man ond a woman who stood cn the edge of a railroad track, with a train almost on them. The shock threw. them to the ground just over the edge of the track and barely in ime, AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA eo Reae Tt Aggravated Assault Case Disposed of by Mayor Simpson. ” Record of Real Estate Sales—Successor to Foreman Pettey Chosen by J Mydraulion Fire, Company. c Evening Star Bureau, No. 52@King street, Bell Telephong, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 21, 1897. Mr. Hairy Downham was tinea $5 by Mayor Simpson in the police court this morning for assaulting Louis Helmuth. Helmuth was in court and looked like he had been struck by a cyclone or run through a threshing machine. Several ~witnesses were examined, and the evidence showed that Helmuth had used very insulting lan- guage toward Mr. Downham, and had re- peated it several times. Mr. Downham remonstrated with him, and finally struck Helmuth, and a free fight ensued. Mayor Simpson held that the use of vile epithets did not in the eyes of the law justify the assault and so imposed the fine. Old Pensioners Fined. Theodore Rouss, an old ex-Union soldier, who draws a pension from Uncle Sam, was in the police court, again this morning charged with disorderly conduct and in- decent language. He was fined $250. Rouss spends most of his time on “Hard Corner” drinking and carousing and fre- quently appears in the police court. Real Estate Sales, The following sales of real estate were made yesterday: Mrs..Isabella Brager sold to Mr. J. E. McKenney a house and lot on the west side of Lee street between Wolfe and Wilkes streets for $759. Henry Strauss et al. to L. R. Cabannis a lot on the east side of Columbus street between Madison and Montgomery streets for $ Filled the Vacancy. At a called meeting of the Hydraulion Fire Company last night the resignation of Foreman George Pettey, who was recently elected chief engineer of the fire depart- ment, was accepted. Mr. H. A. Downham was elected foreman, to succeed Mr. Pet- tey, and Mr. George W. Dix was elected third vice president, in place of Mr. Down- ham. Christadelphian Meeting. There was a meeting of the Christadel- phians in tHe Opera House last night, at which Mr. Thomas Williams, editor of the Christadelphian Advocate of Chicago, made an ‘interesting address, taking as his sub- ject, “Man, His Nature and Destiny.” Inspector Hollinberger, and a number of Washingtonians were present, as well as a large number of Alexandrians. Field Band Meeting. A regular meeting of the 3d Regiment Virginia Volunteer Field Band was held in its hall on North Royal street last night, with Sergeant Major W. E. D. Krauss pre- siding. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved, The committee having in charge the ex- cursion of the band, given récently to Marshall Hall, were unable to make a final report, but stated that the qxcursion had been a success, and that_abgut $5) would be cleared. % 5 A great deal of discussion both pro and con in regard to appointing a committee to see what arrangements could be made for a camp on the lower Potomac river was indulged in. A committee, composed of Wm. Hum- phries, D. E. Robey and? Saml. Simmons, was appointed to make ffquiries in regard to securing a place for camp. General and Personal. Mr. John Devitt of this-city has made application to the Fairfax county court for a malt liquor license for Dyke Park. The funeral of the late Mrs. Fannie Reeves took place from the Methodist Pro- testant Church yesterday.evening. Rev. F. T. Benson conducted the services. Mr. Charles D. Keys has gone to Atlantic City to spend his vacation. He ‘will also visit New York and Niagara Fells before his return. Mr. Donald McLean left here yesterday to assume his new duties as United States gauger and storekeeper at Kernstown, Frederick county. ———— VACANCY FILLED. Frank Vale to Be Appointed a Police Surgeon. The appointment of Dr. D. Percy Hick- ling to the position of visiting physician at the Washington Asylum Hospital makes a vacancy in the ranks of the police sur- geons. Considerable speculation 1s rife as to who will succeed Dr. Hickling on the board. It will be recalled that the Com- missioners during last year had the board of medical examiners examine all appli- cants for the position of police surgeon, it being given out that there would be two vacancies. It so happened that only one vacancy occurred, and this was promptly filled. ‘The doctor who came out second was Frank P. Vale, and the Commissioners have decided to appoint him to the position, which will become vacant during the early part of August. ——_————— The Augusta Post Office. To the Etitor of The Evening Star: In the report of the address of Mr. T. Thomas Fortune at Zion Church last night, as published today, he is quoted as saying, “Judson Lyons, an origiral administration man, was turned down by this man” (refer- ring to Postmaster General Gary), “who said he could not appoint him on account of his color.” If this correctly represents the speaker he was both premature and unjust. The Postmaster General has never referred to my color in my presence in discussing my application for postmaster of Augusta, Ga., nor has he ever told me he will oppose my appointment, or that I could not be ap- pointed. On the contrary, he has always manifested the utmost solicttude to get all of the facts bearing on the affair, and has uniformly given me a cordial and most friendly hearing. If “turned down” means unsuccessful—defeat, rejection—I lack many miles before reaching that stage in the journey. I am also fully convinced that the ad- ministration dees not and wili not counte- prance objections to Americans based on color. That is unrepublican, and the ad- ministration being republican to the core, cannot, if it would, and would not, if it could, tolerate sich sheer nonsense. Of the truthfulness of this assertion the most skeptical wilt in due time be abundantly satisfied. I learned in early life that patience, next to charity, is a God-given and indispensa- ble virtue. Finding it useful, I do not hesi- tate to recommend it generally, just at this juncture. It is sweet, no doubt, to hold a big office, but it is patriotic and glo- rious to contribute someting to the rés- toration of prosperity to; seventy million of people of a depressed country, even though that mite of contribution is but the subordination of ambition to the welfare of the nation. = I regret that my friend Fortune should have said anything uncomplimentary about the people of ny home city., It_is true some of them oppose me for the office that I have applied for, but “thelr opposition has never descended to the “slinging of mud” nor the preferring of béttomless ac- cusations against me. I-can, understand their opposition. It is the outgrowth of their past environment. and education. They know me and respect me as a man, and while I regret the opposition of some of them, I understand how to appreciate it. JUDSON W. LYON. July 20, 1897. ——__ Preparing for Reorganisntion. Commissioner Wight today made his first move toward a reorganization of the police force. He directed Maj. Moore to commu- nicate with the police surgeons, and have | them furnish forthwith a list of those offi- cers who in their opinion should be retired. He also directed Maj. Moore to furnish him a lst of all officers over fifty years of age. E Upon the receipt of. these lists it is ex- mentale a number of retirements be made.

Speclal Correspondence of The Evening Star, WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., July 20, 1897. A Bible reading by Miss Hughes from Matthew ili, 14, and a talk upon the bap- tism of the Holy Spirit commenced the series of meetings of the W. C. T. U. today. The children’s meeting at 2 o'clock was well attended, and at the afternoon sery- ice, in the absence of the Maryland state superintendent, Mrs. Platt spoke about the White Cross Society for boys, and Mrs. Haslup explained the pledge, and the effect of the white shield on organization for girls. “Purity” was the subject of the’ after- noon meeting. By special request Mrs. Sarah Miller gave an account of the mothers’ meetings held in Sandy Spring, and the subject was enlarged upon by others who had participated in those meet- ings. - Dr. J. J. Muir of Washington, at the evening meeting, had for the subject of his discourse “Blazed Ways,” and referred to the fact that in the world’s great move- ments of reform old paths were not fol- lowed, but new paths were made, the re- formers laying them out as circumstances dictated. In the temperance cause no new paths are laid out, and no new gospel is added, but the whole movement follows along a blazed pathway, plainly marked. The speaker advanced the proposition that “the use of intoxicants is for the in- dividual a most baneful practice,” and quoted, from the scientific standpoint, facts in support of it, as deduced by Dr. Rush one hundred years ago, and Dr. Richardson, who so startled England by the announcement that alcohol was a detri- ment to the human system in its action upon the brain, nerve centers and the coat- ing of the stomach, places which alcohol seemed to seize upon so readily. He said when Dr. Parker of New York concurred with those eminent examiners of the sub- ject the medical world began to closely examine along the same line, and with scalpel and microscope have clearly demon- strated the evil effect of alcohol. Today, as a result of scientific research, the children in our schools are being grounded in the theory that alcohol is deleterious to the human system. Business men and corporations recognize such a fact and refuse to employ men addicted to its use. The speaker referred to the saloon as a menace to home, to business and to the church, and as being without a single re- deeming feature, and altogether is an unit of evil. Mention was also made of the necessity, for the sake of consistency, that “temperance” workers should be total ab- stainers, and cited the fact that the great Church of England had one class of work- ers which was composed of total abstain- ers, for the work in the slums of cities. At the close of Dr. Muir's remarks Mrs. Shelton and the Misses Brooke, Robinson, Fairall and Gilpen passed around among the audience, presenting the pledge fer signatures, and many responded. Mrs. L. P. Altschu has for her guest her sister, Mrs. Dr. Charles Appler of Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cohen have returned from a visit to Asbury Park. Miss Grace Altschu, with a party of friends, is making a tour of the Thousand Islands. — AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Various Happenings in West End and Vicinity. The Ad Writers’ Club took an outing last evening to Cabin John Bridge. Through the courtesy of the superintendent of the Great Falls electric road, a special car was placed at the disposal ef the club and its invited guests. The organization chris- tened the new banquet hall at the hotel, it being the first time the room has been used. Covers were laid for twenty-two, and et each plate a boutonniere was piaced and a large bouquet was conspicuous in he center of the table. The service was good, the menu all that could be desired and the speeches after dinner of a high order. Mr. Thomes Wilkinson, the president, officiated as toastmaster. The guests of the evening were Mr. John H. Oberly, Mr. M. Dyren- forth of M. Dyrenforth & Co., Mr. W itlard S. Duckett, superintendent of the Washing- ton and Great Falls electric road; Dr. Al. Friedrich, H. J. Goodman, L. Stiefel of Baltimore, Mr® Byron G. Harlan of the “Merry Monarchs,” Mr. D. B. , MacLeod and Mr. Sam. Hart of Lansburgh’s. ‘There was a narrow escape from serious injury about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon by two ladies of the name of Waters, who were driving in a buggy on the Canal road about half a mile from Georgetown, The ladies reside in Langley, Va., and were on their way to the city. The horse became frightened and ran away, upsetting the buggy. The ladies were thrown out, es- eaping with only a few minor brutses, while the buggy was completely demolished. ‘A change has been made in No. 5 Engine Company. Foreman Andrew J. Sullivan, perhaps better kncwn as “Yank” Sullivan, has been transferred to the foremanship of Truck C Company, at 14th and Ohio ave- nue, while Foreman Charles Kraemer, for- merly fcreman of Truck C, has been placed in charge of No. 5. While the new fore- man is a resident of this section, there is considerable regret expressed at the trans- fer of Mr. Sullivan, who enjoys a large cir- cle of acquaintances, and is without a doubt one of the best fire fighters in the department. : = David L.

Sow Money Men Are Massing Their Forces and Have Some Big Gans Mounted. Sp<cial Cotrespcrdence of The Evening Star. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 20, 1897. When the record-breaking campaign of was brought to a close in Kentucky every man acquainted with politics said it had been the most memorable in the hi tory of the bluegrass siate, and It hs But there is to be ancther campaign thi year which will attract national interest. Though the office to be filled in Kentucky is an ordinary one and pays but a small salary, the contestants for it are to be espoused by the most distinguished leaders in the silver democratic party and the na- tional democratic party. The nominees for appellate clerk, the office at issue, are Samuel J. Shackelford, silverite, anid Jas. B. Hindman, national democrat. In order to disprove the current reports. started by the silverites, that the national party is dead, the leaders of the latter hav determined to put forth their every to win in the November election. There are even money wagers up now that they will be successful against the great odds that are admitted. Silverites Fire First Gun. The first gun of the ‘97 campaign will be fired by the silverites in this city about August 12, on which occasion Wm. J. Bryan will speak at Phoenix Hill Park, in Louis » in the interest of Sam J. Shackelford. Incidentally he will take oc- casion to bolster up the cause of free silver in Kentucky, and will announce the late date on which he will again address the voters of Kentucky. It is also understood that “Coin” Harvey will play two star en- gagements in Louisville in August. Sep- tember 1 Senator Jones will be heard in one of his so-called “convincing appeals.” Ar- rangements are also said to be making for the appearance in the state of other nota- ble silver orators. Exspouse Old-Time Democracy. But the array of distinguished speakers who will, espovse the cause of old-time democracy will surpass any ever massed in the “dark and bloody ground” for a similar purpose. First, ex-Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle, who is the ac- knowledged leader of the forces, will speak; then will come, in rapid succession, Senator Lindsay, ex-Represent- ative Hendrick, Henry Watterson, ex-Rep- resentative W. C. P. Breckinridge, Judge Rodney Haggard and other Kentuckians, whose abilities as speakers and statesmen are well known. Col. William L. Wilson, the popular tariff speaker ana sound money orator, will speak in September if he is able to leay his business, and ancther member of Clev land’s last cabinet is being corresponde with, and it is hoped he, too, can be in- duced to make at least one speech. Col. Josiah Patterson of Tennessee bas been asked or will be invited to speak during the campaign, and ex-Gov. Campbell of Ohio will also be urged to aid in the good work. Ex-Goy. Jones, Alabama, will also be on the list of sound money speakers, as will be Col, Bynum, national chairman of the sound money democratic committee. In addition to these, it is now promi that many other men of national fame will be on the battle ground during the. fall months. The local speakers will organize national democratic clubs all over the state, and will leave nothing undone that could in any way contribute to the success of the campaign. Like Muhomet and the Mapntain. Although the national democrats in their state convention last week positively re- fused any and all propositions looking to fusion with the republicans In the appellate clerk's race, the republicans have since about determined, it is understood, thai y will adopt the national democratic device and vote for James B. Hindman for appellate clerk. If they do, it will be one of the most exciting, as well as one of the clo: state races ever made in Ken- tucky. The silverites will organize thor- oughly; they have the advantage of being in possession of the state machinery, and it wili be nip and tuck from the start. Al- though the silver men say they will win and not half try, they will find it hard to do. mone: — “NED.” MAUNDER DEAD. A Well-Known and Popular Clubman Passes Awa: Edward Stuart Maunder, one of the most widely-known men in Washington, died at Providence Hospital at 1 o'clock this morn- ing of consumption. His funeral arrange- ments have not yet been completed, but his friends have placed them in charge of Undertaker Barker, and the funeral will probably take place tomorrow afternoon, the interment to be made at Rock Creek cemetery. Mr. Maunder was born at Falmouth, County Cornwall, England, August 1844, his father being Captain Maunder of the royal navy. His attachment to the land of his birth was such that he never became a naturalized citizen of the United States, although more than half of his life wa spent in this city. He had no relatives in this country, but left two sisters in En land, one the wife of John Genn, barrister- at-law, Penzance, Cornwall, and the other the wife of James Cornish, banker, of Lombard street, London. For many years Mr. Maunder was the law clerk of the late Judge Geo. W. Pas- chal of Texas, and was formerly very prominent in local boating circles, having been a member of the Analostan Boat Club from its organization. He was a fine oarsman, genial and companionable, a geod singer, an accomplished raconteur, and was beloved by a host of friends. He was stricken with consumption about a year ago, entering the hospital the 26th of last April. SS Warned and Released. George Bennett, Frank Webster, Charles McGrain, William Handy, L. F.
