COULDN'T. GIVE BOND. James Shorts, Colored, Held for Ac- tion of Grand Jury. On a charge of housebreaking in the night, James Shorts, a colered man, thir- ty-two years of age, was ‘committed to jail this afternoon by Jucge Kimball in the Po- lice court, in default of $500 bonds, to await the action of the grand jury. The crime occurred about 11 o'clock Wed- nesday night, at the residence of Mr. Enoch S. Harvey, 1463 Florida avenue. About the hour mentioned Mr. Wendelin Busch,wkose home is at Mr. Harvey's residence, htard some one moving about the house. Mr. Busch called “Harvey,” but the only re- sponse was the opening of a water attach- ment in the bath recom. Shortly thereafter some one was heard in other rooms. Mr. Busch arose to investigate, and a colored man fied. Mr. Busch discharged three shots from a reyciver at the retreating burgiar. The reports of the pistol attracted Po- liceman Matthews and awakened Mr. Har- vey. A search showed that the burglar had ransacked the bureau and apartmenis occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, and had removed a sum of money and other articles from a suit of clothing that had been worn during the day by Mr. Harvey. Several articles of clothing belonging to Mr. Har- vey were found in the rear yard, as were a pair of dilapidated shoes and an old hat. Mr. Busch identified the old shoes as hav- ing been worn by a colored man named James Shorts,who had worked at ihe house the day before. Acting on that informa- tion, Policeman Matthews last evening ar- rested Shorts at his home on 15th street between Erie and Huron streets. In court this afternoon a colored man 1amed William Broadus, who lives at the © house as did the prisoner, testified Shorts returned home Wednesday before midnight. Hc wae and hatless. Broadus also identi- fied the shoes as the property of Shorts. —— ARRESTED FOR SHOPLIFTING. Female Friend of Dorsey Charged With Stenling. Detectives Weedon, Lacy and McNamee today placed a colored woman named An- nie Pony under arrest, on a charge of snop- lifting. She is accused of the larceny of three watches and three rings. The woman is said to be a friend of Dor- sey Foultz, and, according to the officers, was placed under arrest at the time of the escape of Dorsey. She will be given a hear- ing tomorrow in the Police Court. Foultz —_— Case of Too Much Two. Just two years ago Harry Coleman, col-. ored, was sent to the reform school. Just two weeks ago Harry was restored to lib- erty, on the supposition that he had re- formed. Just two days ago he appeared on D street, attempting to dispose of two bi- cycle lamps at ea¢h of two stores. tre e of the lamps that was considered too thin to be given credence. In the Police Court today hearing of the case occupied just two minutes. Judge Kimball sentenced Harry to jail for two months, and thirty days additional. ———__ “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers. LOOM LEAL LEMP LEMAEAL EE Handkerchiefs and Ribbons.

Brightening Up the Dark Places— Decorating the Corridors and Com- mittee Rooms—New Lights. When the senators and representatives come back to the Capitol at the assembling of Congress they will hardly be able to recognize the old building at first glance. Architect Clark is spending about $30,000 in painting and decorating the exterior and interior of the Capitol. The work was begun on the dome before Congress adjourned atid has been going on ever since throughout the building. The entire dome has been paintcd and the old portion of the Capitol lying between the Senate and House wings will be given a coat of white to correspond. It will re- quire about seven tons of lead for this Part of the building. The crypt on the basement floor in the center 6f the Capitol has been enlarged by tearing out the partitions which were put up to accommodate o!d books and papers. ‘This makes a great change in the appear- ance of the place. The crypt really is beau- tiful from an architectural point of vi and the thirty large piers which stud it be adorned with electric lights tastefully arranged. Electric lights will be extended all through the House wing, and in those places where the wires have been strung cutside the walls and ceilings they will be side and covered from sight. e Senate wing shows a number of im- provements. The corridors on the main flvor have been painted and decorated. done in light oticeable immedi brightening and lighting of p p heretofcre been dim.

The Vice President's room, on the § side, will be treated to decorations in ivory ana gold, and wher a new set of furniture and carpets are put in will be one cf the handsomest rocms in the building. The only unsignily part of the building now is the great rotunda, with its dingy walls, the unfinished frescoing the cumbersome scaffolding and ladders hang- ing against one side of the rotunda. It is said that as soon as the committee on fi- brary makes up its mind what figures shall be put in the vacant space in the uncom- pleted circle of frescoing that werk will be finished promptly, and the interior of the dome repainted and decorated The old elevator In the Senate the west side is being replac ern electric elevator, which, it is said, will be ene of the best of its kind in in the country. The Capitol police force has been both- cred a great deal lately by the vandalism of boys, who roam about the place, strik- ing the marble with sticks and chipping off corners. There has also been complaint of the bicyclists riding down the steps, over the sidewalks and across the terraces. The bolice warned a number of boys and sent notices to the families of others. This did not have any effect, however, so severai arrests were made yesterday and and every boy who is caught _trespassin; after this will be taken to the Police Cour: and fined. ———_——-* +___— + EDUCATED ANIMALS. Pony and Dog Show Draws Large Crowds. The pony and dog show of the Norris Brothers, which is located at the corner of 14th and V streets, seems to improve upo: acquaintance. The audience that was ent at the performance last night was fully as large as that of Monday night, and every performance given here t week by this organization has been patronized in the same generous manner. The Norris Brothers’ show is really a pony and dog circus, with a few monkeys and goats thrown in for the clowns and as extra special features. The performancesgiven last night was only one of the regular ap- Pearances of the animals, but it was full of good points and taking features. The show is really a circus on a smali scale, but there is no such thing as banking heavy. ily on one or two turns to draw attention and then filling in the rest of the show with very mediocre turns, to ray the least. All of the feats performed by the animais are worthy of the closest attention, and the way the pretty, high-stepping, ‘graceful ponies and their, close friends and com- panions, the dogs, were applauded last night showed that the large audience was fully cognizant of the labor and patience required to bring the perform up to the high state of docility and intelligence exhibited. ———__ Sale of Mining Stock. It is reliably* stated that a cate of stockholders in one of Wash- ington’s large financial institutions has ¢losed a deal trrough H. W. Coffin for 6,000 shares of Joseph Ladue mining stock. It is understood that the gross amount in- volved is $57,000. —_e—___ An Indian in Congress. From the Kansas City Star. “Remarkable progress has been made among the Indian tribes in the territory since I visited them six years ago,” re- marked Congressman Charles Curtis yes- terday. Mr. Curtis visited the Kansas, Osage and Pawnee Indians for the purpose of securing information that will be val- uable to his committee in Congress—the House committee on Indian affairg—next winter. Incidentally, he visited some of his relatives in that country. 3 “The Indians,” he said, “are learning to farm, though, of course, many of them rent their farms to white men. I found corn that will run as high as sixty-five bushels to the acre on farms cultivated by Indians or half-breeds. “Those who rent their farms to white men make good money. They get $2 an acre for the land cultivated, and usually reserve part of their farms for their own use. “In general, I found conditions among ene Indians improving, and I am glad of it.” As is well known in Kansas, Curtis has Indian blood in his veins, and takes a lively interest in improving the conditions of the Indians generally. He has an uncle and second cousin in the Indian territory who are half-blood Indians, and are fa- mous ranchmen. They are known as “Big Louis” and “Little Louis.” Both are Pa- pans, an old French family. “Big Louis” is a brother of the congressman's mother, and is a man of wealth and influence among his people. “Little Louis” is a covsin of “Big Louis.” They are about the same age, and when they were boys one grew much faster than the other; hence their designations, “big” and “little.” Finally ‘Big Louis” stopped growing, but “Little Louis” kept on, and now is the larger, and weighs two hundred and sixty pounds, while “Big Louis” needs an over- coat to make him Weigh a full two hun- dred. Mr. Curtis visited both. “Big Louis” has a dancing pavilion, modeled after one he saw at an eastern seaside resort. Every Friday night he gives a dance, and hun- dreds of people attend it. He has a lemon- ade and cigar stand in connection with it, and entertains as well as the best of the experts in this line. ——— e+ ______ A Good Crop. From the Baltimore Sun.
