A garden party was given last evening at the residence northeast corner of aist 6nd O streets for the benefit of the Bell Home for Children at Coionial Beach. The Party was well attendee and quite success- ful from a social and financial point. The lawn surrounding the house was prettily decorated and illuminated with a large number of Japanese lanterns. An interest- ing program was rendered during the course of the evening, the musical portion being in charge of Miss Edna Sawyer, who zendered several vocal solos. Miss Flor- ence Johnson gave a piano solo and Miss Nora Pepper a recitation, entirely patriotic, in keeping with her costume, which was €otted wiih forty-five stars. Miss Dalrey Frechet for a recitation spoke of “The District Volunteers” in a manner that pieased all. A number of children from the Bell Home vere present, eight of which constituted the waitresses for the ice cream, each girl bearing a letter, that when arranged in proper position spelied the name of the home. Another committze of five children from the home were in at- tendance at the candy table.

An Altercation. There was considerable excitement last evening on P street between 26th and 2ith streets, shortly before 8 o'clock, the oc- casion being a fight between Mr. Henry Dean, of 2155 P street, aged about sixty years, and a well-known resident. The other participant was Mr. James Yates, a young man about twenty-nine years of age, who resides at 2611 P street. Both of the men had been drinking, so it is said, and one was trying to lead the other home, when Mr. Dean seized the younger man by the coliar, tore his shirt, and completed the work by smashing him in the head with a stone, knocking him out. The _ police patrol was summoned and Yates in an in- sensible condition was placed on a stretch- Blood was streaming from a wound in his head, his lip s cut, and his ankle ap- peared to be hurt. While on the way to the hospital it was found that he was not badly hurt, and he was brought back to the station house and locked up on a charge of plain drunk, being permitted to go this morning. Mr. Dean slipped into his house after the occurrence, and has not as yet been arrested. Died at Hospital. Miss Francis Warner, the daughter of Mrs. Dela Warner, died yesterday morn- ing at 10 o'clock at Columbia Hospital. The death of the young lady will prove shock to her many friends and acquaint- ances, who will mourn her demise at such a tender age. Miss Warner was only eight- cen years of age, and ten days ago was nt to the hospital, her condition being ous that an operation was necessary s of saving her hfe. The result was however. The remains were moved to the home of the on O street, near , Where the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mental Condition. Orange Moffett, colored, aged twenty- eight, was arrested this morning by Police- man Bradley of the county mounted force, and held ior an examination of his mental condition. The man claims to work in the bureau of engraving and printing, and yes- terday appeared in Tenleytown looking for a suitable house to rent in which to move is family. This rrorning he appeared at the village dressed entirely different, and looking a good deal like a vagrant. The policeman questioned the man, and feeling certain that he was out of his mind sent him to the station. With a Record, Last evening about midnight Policeman Connors caught Brice Norris, a young col- ored man with an unenviable record, in the livery stables of Hackney on Pennsyl- vania avenue between 28th and 29th streets. The negro had a brick in one pocket and a cobblestone weighing between four and five pounds in another. He was sent to the station house as a suspicious character. This morning in the Police Court he was committed to the workhouse for thirty days. Mr. David L. Reynolds has sold for Mr. Columbus Thomas the two-story frame Gweiling at 1811 35th street to Mrs. Julia O'Connor, the consideration being neminal.

Managing Ed‘tor of the Cen- tury Dictionary, Editor of the Century Cy pacdia of Names, Fellow of the Geographical Society, ete. New Y Century Company. At no time in the history of the United States has there been a greater national in- terest in geography. The expanding na- tional horizon, developing uncer the in- fluence of great events and greater prom- ises, has called the attention of men to the details of the world beyond the country’s boundaries in such manner as to create a remarkable demand for geographical infor- mation. The present war with Spain has, of course, added materially to this ten- dency, which had acquired striking head- way before the difference between the na- tions was created. The Century Company's undertaking was great not only In its own proportions, but also in relation to the fact that the making of maps has been steadily in progress for many years, until there are at hand many atlases that are generally regarded as models of accuracy and completeness. But geographical infor- mation is constantly expanding, and there no absolute standard of n to be established. The gradual tion of the outlines of the earth's surface in the polar regions, together with the development of waste spaces and the introduction here and there of new political and commercial influences, all tend to necessitate frequent issues of this sort. This volume is exceptionally complete. It devotes a larger percentage of space to the western hemisphere than those map books that are prepared in the old world, and many that bear the imprint of American publishers. It adds to the usual number of modern maps several historical maps of peculiar value to the student. These are graphic in their lessons of national growth and shrinkage and form an important ap- pendix to a etudy of the world in its chang- ing phases. Several maps of a miscellane- ous character, intended to assist the search- er for facts, are added. The maps devoted to the states of the Union are unusually complete. To such as are appropriate are added small but excellent diagrams of the principal cities of the country. The index of names forms a virtual gazetteer, while the index references are satisfactorily com- pact ‘and reliable. SENTURY ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY MAG- AZINE; Vol. LV, New Series Vol. XXXII November, 1897, to April, 1898. New York! ‘The Century Company. Many notable features are included with- in these six issues of “Centuries,” which have been wéll up to the standard so long ago established, and in each department showing a steady advancement toward even. bettgr things: By virtue of the wide scope of its articles the bound ‘volume of the Century becothes an item in historical literature. The present volume contains, for instance,;an unusually valuable series of papers descriptive of the brief reign of Maximilian in Mexico, with a review of the preéedent conditions, bearing so inti- mately upon the*national development of this republic. Mrs. Stevenson's work in these papers has, proved of exceptional value. Muchilintenesting matter concerning the late Lord Tennyson appears, while a more modern center of interest, Herr An- dree, is discussed in four papers. Three papers on as many phases of personal hero- ism are presented. Other groups of papers appear in rich profusion. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt “has cortributed to one of the numbers an instructive commentary on a graphic account of a memorable fight be- tween iron-clads from the pen of C. H. Wet- more, a description of the encounter be- tween the Peruvian monitor Huascar and the Chilean cruisers Cochrane and Enca: lada in 1879. The pages are replete with interesting matter, while the illustrations are as artistic as ever. IN PRAISE OF OMAR: An Address Before the Club. By the Hon. John 5 Portland, Me? ‘Thomas 3.
