14 4 REGULATING SALE OF FLOUR Bill Submitted to Congress by the District Commissioners. Provides for Appointment of Inspec- pec- ities for Violations. The drift of a bill which, should it be- come a law, would, in the opinion of the District Commissioners, prevent the sale in the District of impure flour has been sub- mitted to Congress. The measure regulates the inspection of flour and provides for the appointment of inspectors. The proposed law has received the con- sideration of the Commissioners during the past several weeks, and has the approval of the flour inspector and of a number of flour manufacturers and dealers. Under the bill two inspectors are to be appointed, who shall be competent judges of flour, have a technical knowledge of it and of its purity, serve for a period of two years, and to be appointed by the Commissioners, subject to removal by them. The uniformity of barre!s and half bar- rels brought within the confines of the D trict is provided for, the bill stipu ing specifically that they shall be constructed of good, clean material, and tightened with ten or twelve hoops, sufficiently nailed, with four nadis in the chine hoop, and shall be of the following dimenston rels to be in length not less than the diameter at the head to be 17 inches and the staves of the half barrels to be 20 inches in length and the diameter at the top 13 inches. Empty flour barrels weigh- ing not less than sixteen pounds, tarred or marked on the branded head, are to be con- sidered merchantable. Forbids False Packing. It 4s further provided that every barrel, half barrel and sack of flour brought into the District for sale or manufactured there- in shall be made merchantable by the man- ufacturer and of due fineness, without false packing or mixing, and in the event that there shall be found any false mixing or packing, the manufacturer or person offering it for sale shall, upon inspection. forfeit to the District a fine of not less than $1 nor more than $% for each and every bar- rel, half barrel and sack. The bill specifies that the belter shall put into each pounas and into half barrels and that if such is not the weight found by the inspector and it is one pound de- ficient a forfeit of 10 cents for the first pound and 25 cents for every pound above that shall be paid. The inspectors, if they suspect either the quality or ‘the weight. shall have the privilege of hav- ing all barrels, half barrels and sac opened and weighed. If is is discovered that the barrels are falsely tarred, then the miller is again made to forfeit 10 nts for every pound after the first and cents for each and every barrel and half barrel that fails to reach the proper weight. und if it is found that the inspect- ers have erred the charges must be paid by them. miller rrel pound Mode of Inspection. pectors shall have the right to borings and searchings with an instrument not exceeding five-cighths of an inch for barrels and half barrels and one-quarter inch for jute or cotton sacks, and when they shall have thoroughly satisfied them- es that the flour is of the proper quali- shall mark it “Washington” in let- f not less than one-half inch in length n inscription relative to its fineness. proposed law provides for several . extra, superfine, fine, and The grades of rye flour are to econds.

He made the announcement in a public add Simple, able, himself the evangelist favors Allen D. Candler for governor, and fires hot shot into the opponents of that gentleman.

Former Will Be Ready for Sea in a ‘ew Hours. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Norfolk, Va. yesterday said: Orders were received yesterday morning to com- plete the repairs to the monitor Terror within forty-eight hours, and a force of men will be kept a: work until everything is ready. The Puritan cannot be made ready for service in less than ten days. The torpedo boat Foote is awaiting a new shaft to be shipped from Baltimore. Captain Ludlow, commanding the Terror, who has been off on leave, arrived here this morning and went aboard of his ship. A draft of twenty-one seamen arrived to- Gay from Brooklyn for the Puritan and a number of men are being enlisted to make up her complement. It was reported that a large quantity of ammunition was brought to the navy yard yesterday by the Southern Railway Company. The Spanish vice consul of this port says the Spanish battle ship Vizcaya, now at New York, will probably not come into the ~inner harbor when she makes her proposed visit to Norfolk in a few weeks hence. He @ays that as she draws twenty-six feet of water she will likely not take the risk of trying to make the inner anchorage, but Will stop in Hampton Roads. he | NEW GOVERNMENT FOR IRELAND. ‘= Bill Introduced in English Parliament Yesterday. ts A dispatch from Londcn yesterday, said: The hous of commons was crowded today when the chief secretary for Ireland, Mr. Gerald Balfour, introduced the Iris’ local gcvernment bill. In so doing he said he thought it possible that the new order of things would at first seem to be a failure, but, he added, he believed it would work through failure to the success which it de- served, and which would be the beginning of better and brighter days for Ireland. The government, Mr. Balfour continued, prcposed that the local administration be distributed between county councils, urban and rural district councils and’ boards -of guardians, the elecion of which would be by Parliamenary franchise, with the addition of peers and women. The qualifications and disqualifications for election as coun- cillors would be the same as. in England, except that ministers of religion would be disqualified from sitting in the county or district council, the government acting therein in accordance with precedents. For the sake of convenience, Mr. Balfour further explained, the boundaries of the ex- isting unions and also of the counties would be modified, and the county councils would teke over the duties of grand juries, but only in fiscal matters, and would not in- clude criminal jurisdiction or questions of eempensation for malicious injuries. (Irish “Ohs.”) The elections fot county and dis- trict councils would be triennial, and all would retire together. The county councils would be the sole rate collecting authorit and would control the expenditure. Thes would also be responsible for dealing with exceptional distress, and would decide wher the requests of boards of guardians for out-door relief should be granted. Dubiin, Belfast. Cork, Limerick, Londonderry and Waterford would be constituted indepen- dent county councils. The county would be responsible for half the extra expenditure. Mr. Balfour also pointed out that the bill provided that the occupier was liable to both the county cess and poor rate, wheth- er in a town or rural district, which would involve a readjustment of rents, an equal sum to be granted from the imperial ex- chequer as an agricultural grant. Mr. Balfour said he thought the bill was based upon broad, democratic lines, adding that if exiravagances occurred those re- sponsibl+ for them would bear the burden, while they would reap the benefits of any economy ‘ Mr. John Morley, former chief secretary for Ireland in the late liberal administra- ticn, welcomed the bill as being a “genuine democratic effort.” = Mr. John Dillon, chairman of the Irish perliamentary party, said he thought the sure was an immense advance over the Vill of 1892, and fulfilled the promises of the government: but, he claimed, it was not equal to the English and Scotch measures. pointed out that control of the police was not given to the councils. Neverthe- less. he added, the bill weuld do much good, and his party would endeavor to execute it in good faith, Mr. John Redmond, the Parnellite lead- er, also welcomed the bill, but he criticised some points of the bill. He added that if it worked successfully it would be an un- answerable argument in favor of home rule. Col. Edward J. Saunderson, conservativ> member for North Armagh, said a majority of the landlords recognized the necessity of the measure, which, he added, offered an er portunity for all classes of Irishmen to unite for a common purpose. Mr. Timothy Healy, Irish nationalist member for North Louth, praised the bill, and Mr. Michael Davitt, Irish nationalist, threatened opposition to the part of the bill promising relief to the landlords in the shape of an agricultural grant. inzhe bill eventualiy passed its firat read- Ing. _ +e+—____ BERNHARDT’S SEASIDE HOME. On a Loncly Ixlund Tragedy's Queen Romps and Plays. From the St. James’ Budget. Hundreds of miles from Paris, at the most lonely end of the rock-bound island of Belle-Isle-en-Mer, rear Brittany, stands the extremely urpretending but romantic summer hore to which Sara Bernhardt flies each year for health and rest. The savage. seagirt shores to which the trage- dienne has transferred ber rural household goods are so remote that Paris {s forgotten there. At Le Fort des Poulains (or, as it is usually called, “Les Poulains’) artifice and sometimes even art gives place to na- ture. The charming weman who welcomes her guests so prettily and effustvely on their arrival at Belle-Isle has, for the time Leing, put the footlights out of her mind und transformed herself by some miracle irte an idealized peasant. Driving, fishing, shooting and crab catch- ing barefooted among the gigantic rocks piled up around her kouse are the chief pieasures indulged in et Les Poulains by the theacric queen. She varies them froin time to time by taking long tramps over the cliffs and through the hamlets wh Paiais and ene seaport at which you land after ten miles’ tossing up and down in the preposterous little steamboat plying be- tween Belle Isle and Quiberon, on the main- land, in Rrittany. The peasants within several miles of her diminutive and barren estate all know and speak in glowing terms of the belle dame who is so fond of dis- tributing sweemeats and apples and cakes to the children who may cross her path. Mcnsieur le Cure, over at Le Palais, and Monsieur le Maire (he also a priest) speak even more highly of the devout and gen- erous lady who is so constant an attendant at mass on Sundays. Notwithstanding her Semitic origin, Sara Bernhardt ts a sincere if sometimes rather careless, Cathol The rude fishermen and fishwives who make up the greater part of Monsieur le Cure’s congregation were slightly startled a: first by the strange costumes and the curious case of the Dame des Poulains. But they soon got used to her. Madame Sarah's chateau is a very prim- itive affair: a plain two-storied oblong building, with a parapet (once lined with frowning gurs). Until some years ago it Was a genuine fort, occupied by forty men and a few officers. There are Algerian sug- gestions in the white stone walls and brown brick facings of the edifice. In front of the fort, which lies in a deep hollow near the weather-beaten, stormy Point des Poulains, stand, like twin sentinels, two mighty porcelain storks. The waves rage ceaselessly about the base of this strange residence. Enorr-ous boulders, molded into the rough likeness of monsters grim and horrible, surround the house. No human habitations can be seen from any corner of the building, with the exception of a n.clancholy lighthouse and a small cottage owned by the rustic of whom Sarah bought the five or ten desolate acres which adjoin her rocks. The interior of the fort, although leas Spartan and severe than the interior, is simple. One long, broad, lofty vaulted hail formerly the Salle du Corps des Gardes-- serves the tragedienne as dining room and studio combined. It is waimscote? with pine wood and adorned by ten or twelve by no means veluable paintings. On a buffet rear the dining table is an array of the quaint Breton faience exclusively affected by the fair chatelaine at Les Poulains. A hvge fireplace and the indispensable chairs, a few lourges and one or two artistic couches draped with soft oriental stuffs make up the furniture. Tens of millions of franes have been earned by the great actress since old Auber heard her recite the fable of the “Deux Pigeons, who “loved so tenderly.” Yet at this moment all the property she owns on earth is prob- ably this one rude storm-swept dwelling the remote shore of a small Breton stand. —_—_—-+e. A Strange Love Affair. From the London Telegraph. A touching romance in the life of ise late Charl2s Pelnam Villiers, “father” of the house of commons, has been disclosed by his death. In early life he fell deeply in love,with a Miss Mellish, and his affection was returned as far as could be-done-by a lady who for some r2ason had taken a vow to lead a single life. Mr. Villlers remain- ed true to his first love, and never mar- ried, and his constancy so touched Miss Mellish that in her will she left all her for- tune—a consid2rable one—to him absolute- ly. He, however, never touched the money, leaving it to accumulate with interest, while he lived very simply on his own mod- «st revonue, supplemented by his cabinet pension. By the time of Mr. Villiers’ death the capital originally left by Miss Meltish had grown to a sum considerably over £250,000 sterling. Of this total he, by his will, left £150,000 to Rev. Montague Vil- ers, vicar of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, and a somzwhat similar sum to Ernest Villiers. . _THE EVENING STAR, ‘TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1898—14 PAGES. |AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Quiet Observance of Washington's Birthday, No Public Demonstration Being Made. Ceremonies at Mount Vernon Under Auspices of Daughters of America —General Personal. Evenirg Star Bureau, 520 ames Bell Teleplione 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 22, 1898. The anniversary of the birth of George Washington has been quietly observed in this city, and there has been no pyblic denionstration. The schools throughout the city were given a holiday, the banks Eave been closed, and the post office kept Sunday hours. : At noon Mount Vernon Council, Daugh- ters of America, assisted by Belle Haven Council, Alexandria Council and James W. Jackson Council, United American Mechan- ics, went to Mount Vernon to raise Old Glory for the first time over the tomb of the immortal Washington. There was a large number of the members of the order present from Washington, Baltimore and elsewhere. The program which had been prepared was an elaborate one, and was carried out without a hitch. The ceremonies were opened by singing “Old Hundred’ doxol- ogy, in which everybody joined. Rev. J. H. Weils of the village chapel offered up. a touching prayer, and Mrs. Amy C. Welch delivered the opening address. The pre- sentation of the flag was a most interesting ceremony. Rev. J. H. Thacker of the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church stepped forward, and in a few well-chosen remarfs pre- sented the handsomt embdlem, which was floated to the breeze, and received by Su- perintendent Dodge on behalf of the Mount Vernon regents. Following the presentation was a recita- ticn, “Columbia,” by Capt. J. F. Davis, and an address by Mr. J. W. Alexander, past state courcilor of the Junior Order United American Mechanics.

From the Fortnightly Review. Mr. Frederick Gale, who was an habitue of the lobbies of the house of commons for forty years, narrates some of his curious experiences. Referring to Bellamy’s kitch- en, so vividly described by Charles Dickens, and to the members who were wont to fre- quent it, he says: “You got the best chop and steak and cold meat and salad in the world, and the parrot who called ‘Order! order!’ and ‘Chair! chair!’ and all the cries of the house, and the immortal ‘Jane,’ who chaffed every one—as described by D.ckens —ere still there; and members of the gov- ernment might be seen eating their dinner at a real deal kitchen table. ‘Give you a kiss?’ Jane asked of a young member, who was chaffing her, ‘you, a younger son, and only a borough member! Why, I boxed a duke’s ears for asking such an impertinent question yesterday.’ There was a very dif- ferent house of commons from the present one in those days.”” An amusing story is told of Lord Palmer- ston, who had just had a stormy interview with a deputation which came to memorial- ize him on the subj of the wine duties. Just as they were leaving the room a sud- den thought struck him, and he called them back and said. “Perhaps, gentlemen, a rec- ollection of my boyhood may help you. When a boy, my grandfather took me with him to stay at Lord Pembroke's. After dinner, his lordship said, ‘I hope you liked my wine. I did my best to please you. As a member of the government I ought not to tell you that I get my claret and cham- pagne direct through a smuggler. I am an- swerable for the port, as I made it myself.’ Old Pam had hit the bull’s-eye, and the deputation retired, with much laughter. The reminiscences that center in John Bright are equally amusing. For example: “T call to mind hearing him, in 1848, in the house of commons, on the appointment of a new bishop of Manchester. Quoting from memory (as I do throughout), he said, ‘You wanted a new bishop of Jerusalem a short time ago. How did that holy man go out? With his staff and his scrip, like one of the apostles? Not a bit of it. He went out in her majesty’s steam frigate Retribution, and landed under a salute of eighteen guns, not far from the spot where Simon lodged with the tanner.’ ” ——_+e+—____ “CHICKENS” CAME HOME. How the Curse of a Vengeful Trick Plagues Mr. Swift. From the Kani City Journal. Mr. J. H. Smith of Paducah, Ky., tells a good story on himself: “Fifteen year ago, when I was but a seemingly incorrigible youth,” said he, “I chanced while out hunting one day to trespass upon the farm of une of our neigh- bors whose acerbity of temper was known the country over, with the result thet a sever> chastising was given me. At that time my anger knew no bounds, still dis- cretion was not entirely overthrown, and I kept my own counsel, with the result that a plan for revenge at last occurred to me. So one dark night when all the ele- ments seemed at war, with pockets weli | filled with Johnson grass seeds, I sailed forth and here and there scattered them about his magnificent field. “In a few years the scattered seeds have covered the field, with the result that it had to be abandoned for agricultural pur- poses and eventually one of the finest farms in the old blue grass state wes overrun with this pest. The years went rapidly by and soon both my father and the old farmer were gathered to their reward, each leav- ing a single child. It was only last year that ‘my chicken came home to roost,’ so to speak, for I then led to the hymeneal alter the sole surviving heir to that John- son grass field in the person of the lovely daughter of my enemy of boyhood days. “Today,” said he sadly, “about all we have in this world in-the way of realty is that magnificent waste of rapidly grow- ing grass. Every time I look at that old farm I am forelbly reminded of the short- sightedness of human fiesh in general and the fact, after all, a strict observance of the golden rule is by long odds the best policy. Today I am ig every dollar I can possibly rake and scrape together in a seemingly vain endeavor to render ser- viceable my wife's inheritance.” A LOST OPPORTUNITY. Marshall, the Gold Discoverer, Miss- ed His Chance. From Harper's Weekly. é Had Marshall been a man of ordinary shrewdness or tact he could have made a. fortune by taking up claims aid working them by hired labor. Instead he wasted his time and energies in efforts to prevent predatory attacks on his cattle and saw mill, and caused so much ill-feeling that he was forced to seek safety by flight. This experience soured his disposition, and on his return he foolishly boasted of rich mines of which he knew, but the location of which he refused to disclose. Hungry prospectors, eager to make their fortunes, were driven nearly insane by such tan- talizing, and again Marshall was compel?®l to leave suddenly to save his life. His mill was torn down and most of his property confiscated. He returned, built a small cabin near the scene of hisigreat discevery, and there lived the life of@ recluse, pros- pecting in the mountains and eking out a poor living. Efforts were made too seeure a pension for the mar. who started: the great de- velopment of California, rand the legis- lature granted allowancessfor four years, amounting in all to $7200. This was all the money that MarsHall) ever received from the state for a discowery that made scores of millicraires, and that crowded into ten years the normal development of a half century. Marshaii regarded him- self as an ill-used man.iHe nursed his grievance, and as a hermit he lived till August 10, 1885, when be was found dead in his lonely cabin. His grave is cn a hilljnet far from the site of his great discovery, and two years after his death the state erected a monu- ment to his memory. ‘Tie monument is of granite, is thirty-one: feet in height and is surmounted by a bronze statue ten and a half feet high, representing a typi- cal California miner. see —- EVERYDAY GEOGRAPHY. Newspapers and Electricity the Map- Makers of the Times. From the Troy (N. ¥.) Telegram. We are making geography as well as histcry rapidly these days. An atlas a year old is away behind the times. The Alaska gold craze has made the old maps of that section almost valueless, and the indications are that China soon will be nothing but a piece of patchwork. But the newspapers today are the geographers, and accurate maps appear in their pages almost as soon as the telegraph brings news of changes. The youthful mind has no difficulty in grasping these alterations because they are accompanied by move- ments which hold the interest. The study is not of geographical topics heavy with the dust of ages, but of lands and people who attract attention because electricity keeps them practically at our docrs. The newspaper supplements the text book, and the combination fills the youthful mind with more valuable knowl- edge of things geographical than it was possible for our ancestors to acquire. Ir competent hands the good newspaper is the best supplement to geography ever is- sued, and the time is coming when no in- structor will refuse to put it to daily use. Jubilee Silks Cheap in London.

In consequence, silks, satins, vel- vets and brocades are offered for less than half their original price, and genuine bar- gains are to be had. ——____eee AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. To J. E.

At the close of the recent international congress of orientalists, held in Paris, the members of the convention we-e invited to be present at a unique relizious service, which has probably never before been c2le- brated in the occident. This was a Budd- histic mass, held in the famous Musee Guimet, the conduct of which is described by the Figaro substantially as follows The library room, in which the services took place, was profusely decorated with chrysanthemums, roses, orchids, ete., and 300 and more Parisian gentlemen and ladies took part in the service. Thé draperies were all of an orange-yellow color. The altar was of no special architectural fash- ion, but only a plain table upon which was erected a pyramid of steps, each step bear- ing a torch. In all there were 730 of these, symbolizing the 730 lights of the exalted wisdom found in the 84,000 doctrines of the Buddhistic faith. To the point of the pyra- mid was attached a standard or flag in golden, pink, white, red and blue colors, the whole surrounded by flowers and leaves. The sweet savor of the flowers, mingled with incense, filled the hall. In the room in front of the library M. Guimet instruct- ed his audience in the laws of Buddhism, which were listened to with rapt attention. In the audience are found representatives of every type of religious thought. Willing- ly, it seems, they yield to the instructions that he who would take part in the Bu id- histic worship must, according to the rite of that worship, be of pure heart, and his body must know nothing of the use of : coholic drinks. His spirit.must occupy it- self with good, gentle and pure thoughts. The faithful must cleanse themselves im water perfumed with saffron, and the hands that are to bring flowers to the altar acceptable to God must be without blemish. After these preliminary instructions the doors to the library are opened, and with a reverent step the assembly enters the shrine. In two processions they slowly and in deep silence approach the altar. Every participant, in accordance with crders giv- en, carries a flower in his hand and jays ft down upon a snow-white clota which is placed before the 720 torches. The unbe- lievers have found places in the galleries, where they can see the interesting cere- mony, but are not allowed to take part in it. At 11 o'clock the mass begins. Among those actively participating is M. Clemen- ceau, the statesman and parliamentarian. He stands so near the altar that the priest with his yellow gown touches him. Then are found present also Prince Roland Bona- parte, MM. Solomon Reinach, Leon de Kos- ney, Roger Marx, the general secretary «f the Seine department, university professors, members of the orientalist congress, etc. An bxcited whispering is heard through the audience and the officiating priest, An- agorica Dharmapala, enters. He is a Sin- galese of colorless complexion, tall, with fine and aristocratic movements. He moves his head back and forth, bends his thighs, moves his arms gracefully. He wears a large yellow toga, which almost covers his person, and presses to his breast a sacred relic of the god Buddha. Carefully he places this upon the altar, turns then to the other worshipers, and in a chanting voice, in good English, he speaks as fol- lows, his -words being translated int French by the assistant conservator of the museum, M. de Milloni: “Oh, that I could be as pure as a scented rose. This noble flower withers, and thus all things pass away. I dedicate this flow- er to the Lord of the world, of eternal truth, and the most holy of beings. “I vow not to slay any living creature. “I vow not to take my neighbor's goods. “I vow not to give myself up to sensual pleasures. “I vow not to drink any intoxicants.” After this prayer the priest Dharmapala pronounces a panegyrie on the blessings of the Buddhistic religion, which he says ts 2,600 years old. While he is speaking his eyes are constantly directed to the flower and are not fixed on his audience. After the address is completed the cere- mony of the mass begins. The Anagorien takes a long yellow ribbon wrapped around a staff. He gives one end to his neighbor, M. Clemenceau, who has all along shown a very reverent attitude. Then the silken ribbon passes from hand to hand, encircling the faithful. until it again reaches the im- age of Buddha. Then comes a slow chant- ing song. Dharmapala is singing the praises of Buddha. The ceremony itself is now over. The yellow ribbon is cut into small pieces and each participant takes a piece home with him as beneficial fetish. Ite missa est, says the Anagorica, in the sacred language of the Pall, and the audi- ence is dismissed. First en ee An $1,800 Whale Killed in} North Carolina.
