GRIEF OF | HER FRIENDS a Miss Arna Virginia Wells, daughter of Judge Lewis 8. Wells, the well-known law- yer, and a sister of Mr. Lewis S. Wells, ir., ceptain of the Columbia Athletic Club foot ball team, took her life yesterday morning at 2 o’cleck by shooting herself through the heart with a revolver at her residence, 1311 N_ street northwest. Miss Wells was in her thirty-third year, and up te five months ago had enjoyed vigorous health. About that time she became trou- bled with an affection of the eyes, and was placed under the treatment of Dr. Wilmer, the oculist. The ailment seemed to affect her entire mental and physical condition, and for the latter troubles Dr. W. W. Jchnston attended her. From a handsome girl, with a plump and rotund figure, she wasted away until she became a mere frame, and her mind was evidently weak- ered as well as her body. So great was the anxiety of her parents over this phase of her sickness that her mother consulted Dr. Johnston some time ago iv regard to it, but the physician stat- ed that there was then no indication of mental trouble. The young lady, however. ecntinued to indulge in singular fancies and queer ideas, and seemed to be always worrying about the rest of her family. She was particularly devoted to her mother, and since she became so ill four months ago Mrs. Wells has been sleeping with her. Her Strange Actions. Frequently the mother would awaken to find her daughter looking at her with the greatest solicitude. At such times she would frequently go to her brother's room, which adjoined her sleeping apartment, and express fears about her mother and in- dulge in vagaries that were the subject of intense anxiety on the part of the family. She was of so lovable and sweet a dispo- sition, however, and so thoughtful and considerate of others, always thinking ot them rather than of herself,that her anxiety about the other members of the family was attributed largely to the fact that her mind was affected by her bodily infirmity, and that she magnified her fears into realities Christmas night Mrs. Wells and he daughter retired as usual. When the storm broke over the city young Cant. Wells was at the Columbia Athletic Club and concluded to sleep there. At 2 o'clock in the morning Mrs.’ Wells awoke and found that her daughter was not in the She heard a rustling in her son's and cal'ed out to the girl. The lat- swered her: mother, saying she would be back in a minute. That brief time had not elapsed when there was a sharp report of a pistol. Mrs. Wells rushed into her son’s apartment and there found her daughter lying on the floor in front of the bureau, with a pistol clinched in her hand and the blood issuing from a wound in the left breast. Sereama of the Mother. The screams of the agonized mother aroused Judge Wells and the servants, and physicians were sent for while efforts were made to statnch the flow of blood and resuscitate the wounded girl. She w: beyond human ‘help, however, as the bul- let had passed throvgh her heart and death had followed imstantly. The pistol with which the unfortunate woman committed the desperate deed had been lying in the drawer of her brother's bureau for seven years. The parents and brother declare to be incorrect the statements published in a morning paper to the effect that Miss Weils was very much attached to the late Miss Leila Herbert, and that the dcath of the latter had brought on the melancholia which resulted in her taking her own life “My daughter was not even acquainted with Miss Herbert,” said Judge Wells to The Star reporter this morning, “and neither was she a society woman. From her earliest childhocd she has devoted her- self to church work, to music and to her family. Her life has been identified with the Church of the Incarnation. In_her childhood she w an enthusiastic member cf its Sunday hool. Growing older sang in the choir for several years, and been active always in the work of the King’s Daughters and of the Altar Guiid.

She was tireless in doing good wor! She possessed a sweet and sympathetic soprano voice of excellent cuitivation, hav- ing been a pupil, first, of Mrs. Kaspar, and afterward of Mrs. Mills. Coroner Carr did not deem an inquest necessary. The funeral will take place Wednesday at 2 o'clock p.m. from the Church of the Incarnation. ee Received No Pay. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Knowing that the columns of The Star are open to aid in the matter of a reform and its influence always exerted in behalf of the working man causes a hope for a change in the present manner of pay- ment in vogue at the United States Bo- tanie Garden ‘These gardens come under a joint committee of Congress, termed the “Library Committee.” At the extra session of Congress Mr. Bernard R. Green, superintendent of the “There library, was made disbursing officer for the Botanic Gardens. For some unknown reason Architect Clark of the Capitol has to sign the pay rolls ef the gardens after they have al- ready been approved by the superintendent thereof. Why does Mr. Clark have to sign the roll? It is true an appropria- tion for improvements is supposed to be under his supervision and the mechanics employed from time to time are carried on a separate roll from the regular garden employes. The pay roll was made out and signed by Wednesday, Deeember 22, so as to en- able the men to be paid fifteen days’ sal- ary before Christmas. Mr. Clark was said to be to ill to sign the pay rolls, a mere matter of red tape, and one man’s Indis- position causes many hard working men to be deprived of the enjoyment of the festivities of Christmas. ‘After signing the roll all preparations were made for/Chvistmas. Presents for little ones were laid aside in the stores, having been selected, and only awaiting payment for the same to cause happiness to many a child, 1 From day to day the men have expect- ed their pay; when on the morning before Christmas they,,were told Mr. Clark was delirious, which unfortunate circumstance prevented his Signing the roll and thus deprived them of their enjoyment of the greatest noliday of mankind. Every one sympathizes with Mr. Clark in his illness, yet some provision could surely have been made to prevent such a condition of affairs. Mr. William R. Smith has been in charge of the Botanic Gardens in the neighbor- hood of thirty years. Mr. Reynolds, a: sistant superintendent, has been employ- ed at the gardens since boyhood. If they are capable of expending the appropria- tion, why not permit them to disburse the same? Their honesty cannot be im- peached, and they are in every respect capable of attending to every detail of the work under their jurisdiction. Bond either the suoerintendent or his assistant and let us recelve our pay when due, and not wait from four to ten days for others to sign the garden roll and have it travel und the country after them, such as has been our fate. The library comzaittee can render the desired relief, and, while in the enjoy- ment of their Christmas and prompt pay- ment, may they be charitable enough to provide for those under them. “ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATES.” ENGLAND SHOWS HER TEETH Seventeen Warships at Ohemulpo--A Protest Acainst Russi Japan Reported to Be Acting in Con- cert With Great Britain's Policy in Orient. A special dispatch from Shanghai to the London Times yesterday says: “It is re- ported that seventeen British warships are off Chemulpo, Corea, southwest of Seoul, supporting the British consul’s protest, really amounting to an ultimatum, against the king’s practically yielding the govern- ment of Corea into the hands of the Rus- sian minister. The protest is specially directed against the dismissal of McLeavy Brown, British adviser to the Corean customs, in favor of the Russian nominee. ‘The news has produced consternation at Seoul, which fs heightened by the knowl- edge that Japan has a fleet of thirty war- ships awaiting the result of the British representation that Japan fully supports. Japan is irritated by the arrival of Russian troops in Corea, and it is believed that it will oppose them. According to the advices from Tokio, Ja- pan has offered to assist the officers at Pekin in drilling the Chinese army and to consent to a postponement of the payment ot the war indemnity. Many of the vice- roys and Pekin officials favor the proposal. According to a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Shanghai, a British force landed at Chemulpo on Saturday and caused the reinstatement of McLeavy Brown. The same dispatch refers to a rumor that the Union Jack has been hoisted on an island in the mouth of the river Yang-Tse-Kiang. The Pekin correspondent of the Times says: “The government refuses to place the Likin under foreign control as security for the loan proposed by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, and asserts that, unless the loan is procurable without this condi- tion, arrangements will be forthwith made for a Russian guaranteed 4 per cent loan of 100,000,000 taels, to be issued at 93 net. The security would be the land tax, which would remain under Chinese admin- istration. China in return would give Rus- sia a monopoly of the railroads and mines north of the great wall, open a port as a terminus for a railway (trans-Siberian) and would agree that a Russian should succeed Sir Robert Hart as di or of the Chinese maritime customs. If these _ conditions should be permitted British trade interests would suffer severely. anghai correspondent of the Times The sloop Phoenix sailed _ toda ¥) under orders to join the Brit h squadron.

A VET Commen the Discussion Concern- ing Alleged Fraudulent Pensions. To the Editor of The Evening Star: There has heen « good deal of talk of late concerning fraudulent pensions, and, as the discussion has been participated in by quite a number of persons, who either were not born at the time of the last war, or were tco young ut that time to take part in the , or who had no desire to expose precious bodies, though they was at stake it may not be out of place for a voiunteer of 1S6L to make a few remarks through your columns, provided you are willing to hear both sides. The howl now indulged in, as I under- stand it, is because there are a number of persons, .hundreds, maybe thousands, or, judging from the frantic actions of the howlers, possibly millions, who are receiv- ing pensions to which they are not entitle: The newspapers are appealed to for help, and foclish, not to say untruthful, yarns are spun by temporarily prominent men on the subject of the loss to the government through the awful extravagance in paying $8 per month to old men and women, who are not in danger of starvation, for serv- ices rendered years ago, when ‘the Presi- dent and the Congress appealed for help to save the country. Now, a plain question may be in order, and that is what is the pension bureau for if not to investigaie pension claims? As a body the pensioners say to the Con- gress, to the commissioner and to the news- papers, that they hold their pensions for wounds received or disability incurred in Ine of duty. They value the fact that they are on the rolls as evidence of their patriot- ism at a time when to be a Union man and they are of opinion of impudence for any high or lew, to ask whether or not now need their pensions. The old sol- have no fear that members or sena- tors from Icyal states will be fools enough to attempt economy at the expense of the pension roll, and they want it understood that they beg for nothing, but simpy de- mand the rights given them under existing laws, and they look to their senators and ntatives for such action as may be 1 to protect the pension roll from being reduced by small politicians, who, for brief periods, hold positions which they do not fill. If the pension office allows fraud- ulent pensioners on the rolls it is time to change the management of that office. As to publishing the rolls, all necessary in- ion is available now all over the , but if the rolls are published it should be done in the newspapers agitating the subject and without paying for the required space, as the object sought a pears on the surface to be to economi and perhaps to elevate the economists. doubt there is but little use for the old soldiers now, but go slow, gentlemen, or you may find a horret’s nest nearer than you think. Just remember you are not dealing with tramps, but with men who quietly but squarely meet you and dare you modify a single rule or law made f the protection of the men who in 186} weut to the front. A VETERA >— NATIVES FOUND. their knew the life of the countr even N. NO An Expedi jon to Tiburon Island, ulf of California. The Two Republics, a newspaper of Mex- ico City, contains the report of an expedi- tion against the canabalistic Seris, who occupy the Tiburon Island in the Gulf of California. The island was reached the 13th of the month. Every precaution was taken to surprise the natives, but when a rancheria was reached no sign of any of them was discovered. Other rancherias were ap- proached, but still the natives proved elu- sive. Near one of these, however, pieces of burnt wood were discovered, which, upon examination, proved to be boards from the sides of the vessel World, and on these pieces of wood the words, “World, San Diego,’ could be read. Other small objects were found buried in the sand, and near one of the huts a pair of shoes, American make and half worn, were discovered. All of these objects were turned over to the district judge. A few years ago a newspaper man named Robinson and George Flavelle, a trapper, sailed with two other comrades for Tiburon Island to barter with the warlike »seris. Robinson and one other of the traders were seized by the Indians as they landed on the beach and were never again heard of. It is supposed they were killed and eaten. Prof. McGee of the bureau of ethnology, with a party of eleven, visited the island in December, 1895, but the Seris fied to the hills, and he was enabled only to gather a small collection of curiosities, for which an equivalent was left on the beach. Later a small party of Arizonians went over to the island and gave not been heard of since. It is believed they were massacred. ———_+e+. Entertainment to Mr. Elwell.” Mr. L. W.
