BURGLARIZING THK CAPITOL. A Man Armtfd on thr Char(e of Break* Ins I nto the Building. A yoonc man named Sam'l O. Walker was In the Police Court yesterday afternoon, charged with housebreaking in the night Tbe young man was charged with feloniously entering the United States Capitol with intent to commit a felony. Walker was arrested about U o'clock Sundav night by Capitol Policeman Butler in the room occupied by the House committee on alcoholic liquor traffic. He had in his pocket a bunch of keys and one of them fitted the door of the I room. The policeman had been detailed to watch the room and was only out of sight ot the door a few minutes. His attention was attracted to the room by seeing the gaa lighted and when he knocked at the door the prisoner opened it. When questioned he .aid he was waiting for Sam Long and that Bam was going to get out some bills for a Con¬ gressman. He was taken to the police station and locked up. Judge Miller required him to give bonds. ^ SMALL CATCH KS OF FISH. Th« Effect of the Recent Gale on the Potomac. The steamer Frances arrived at the 12th street wharf last night from a trip to the fishing shores down the river as far as Potomac City and brought what fish had been canght during tbe two days previous. Capt. l'aaseno said that the catch Monday and Tuesday was very small, oung to the heavy gale that visited the river shores. Before the wind storm some good catches were made, but the heavy northwest wind drove the tisli from the shore, so the hauls were poor. There was only one shad aud less than a hundred herring brought np. Capt. Passe uo said that in one haul made in the creek opposite Potomac City 10t! tine carp were caught. They weighed from one to six pounds apiece. As soon as the wind dies out Capt. Pasaeno thinks some large catches will be made. Bockfish are much more plentiful than fisher¬ men thought they would be. although they are not yet being caught in large numbers. Cat¬ tish and eels ar« plentiful and thousands of .mall fish are being caught that aro thrown away because they are not lit for the market. How to Drciw Oiir School Children. To the Kdltorof ImEvijwsSth: Every parent is puzzled in a greater or less degree with the above problem. In these later days of extravagance the care and expense im¬ posed upon the parent of dressing his or her children as finely as the children of other peo¬ ple of equal intelligence and respectability has become a burdensome and abnormal tax upon the pocket of the father and the ingenuity and tune of the mother. If the child is dressed (or overdressed) to satisfy the pride of its patent it too frequently happens that the only other result is to stimulate the vanity of the '.-hild and the envy of its playmates. The child believes itself to be better than ita fellows, simply bocause of its fine dresses, when, as a matter of fact, it mav be intellectually and morally of a much lower grade. Its less finely dressed school mate, on the other hand, feels that its merits are not recognized under its more humble garb and a feeling of discon¬ tent arises, and this causes both factors to grow np with distorted, embittered and er¬ roneous ideas of life. "Fine feathers make line birds" is still shown to be a ruling impres¬ sion by the habits of modern society, and yet how disgustingly false do we know it to be. Shall we continue to educate our children in these beliefs.' I propose as one step of reform that we adopt some system of regimentals in the public schools, not of the guy military order but some quiet, tasteful pattern, con¬ structed for economy and service.some light- shaded woolen goods for winter and some com¬ fortable gingham for summer, with hats of conventional pattern, leaving off of the heads of the girls the silk, velvet, feathers, Ac., and saving ourselves the expense, time and annoy¬ ance of struggling in this disgusting ef- | fort at competition in fiuery. At graduation the boy or girl may then "comeout. as it were, with a higher appreciation of what he or she may enjoy, and with an experience of school days which has repressed this abnormal growth of precocioUMiese. creating the stronger and truer belief that dress is really of secondary importance; that standing ar.d excellence are d«rpendent upon character, fostering the ideas of equality and brotherhood and avoiding all jealousies, envy, vanity and mortified pride, which grow out of such artificial caste. For the reasons given above 1 do not dress iny own children as fiuely .is is the custom of others of equal means and of many others of less means, but it is not an easy tasK to consistently keep to this policy without giving rise to some dis¬ content iu the child, so long as the bulk of so¬ ciety continues to indulge its children in ex¬ travagant display. There are doubtless many parents who feel as I do. aud it seems to me that a uniform dress in the public school would be productive ot great good in relieving the abuormal results that are rapidly growing into habit and la) ing the foundation for future misery. Patau Faxiliab. Celebration of the Quadri-Centennlal. To the Editor of The Eve* wo Stab . A world's fair has nothing iu common with a proper celebration of the quadri-centennial of Columbus. The writer believes that a com¬ memoration of Christopher Columbus should be of a more dignified character than that of a world's fair. In what might be termed a Col- umbiad there is ample room for the various elements of history, poetry, the arts, sciences, geographical details, nautical and scenic rep¬ resentations to contribute to the commemora¬ tion of the great discoverer of our western hem¬ isphere. Our aborigiues will form a picturesque feature in the Columbiad. You will readily perceive that to bring these various elements to bear upon such an eveut as the discovery of America will give occasion for the manifestation of the highest skill and taste by professors and proficients in many of the professions and oc¬ cupations which are devoted to musical, artis¬ tic and scenic representations, and that Co¬ lumbus and no other person or party would be the object upon which their talents would be bestowed. I need scarcely say that the capital, the city of Washington. 1). C., possesses all the facilities for accomplishing the purpose in view with becoming dignity and eclat. There are the representatives of the nation.the Pres- ident. Vice President, the cabinet, the inem- bers of Congress. Supreme Court and other dignitaries representing the people, the minis¬ ters and ambassadors of foreign nations, the Capitol and public buildings, museums, galler¬ ies. Ac..and all things suitable to make an im¬ pressive display in the capital of the United Slates, in the District of.Columbia. It would seem that this is a legitimate object for congressional action and no jealousies or dis¬ putes could srise from a Columbus memorial in Washington, leaving the question of a world's fair to the disposal of whom it may concern.

Trying to Break From Randall's Island. Between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday morning a desperate attempt was made by six prisoners to escape from Randall's Island. The leaders of the mutineers were Frank MeClellaa and Jaa. Beilly. They knocked down the night guard. Jonah lietcham. and bound and gagged him and escaped. In a half hour all the guards knew of. the escape and a search was made in the darkness of the fog and night for the desperate men. After au hour's search the two men were found It wae an hour after tfc* that the i.alning ftttu were found. THK nvili SERVICE INQC1RY.

BilLXT'l COM¬ PETENCY AS A iTUOOliraU. After Tbb Stab's report closed yesterday Mr. Campbell's examination wax continued at con¬ siderable length. Before they had got well into the examination the witness had com¬ pletely lost his bead and answered questions at random. He told the story of his copying the papers for Mrs. Smith ss it has bean told sev¬ eral times before, with the important excep¬ tion that he said he had made the copy as a pastime before Mrs. Smith saked him for them, and that he had them in his drawer when she Asked if he had any sample questions he could give her. He was questioned closely as to his reasons for making the copy. He looked per¬ fectly blank and said he had no reasons, but just did it after office hours, while waiting for the mall to be sent out. After a deal of questioning on this point, during which he appeared to be entirely be¬ wildered. the witness' attention was called to the fact that there was a direct coutrudictiou between the story he told Messri. Lyman, Oberly, Roosevelt and Thompson at different times and his testimony on the stand, as he had formerly said that he made the copy at the in¬ stance of Mrs. Smith. APPEARED not TO COKPBXHE>D. He did not seem at all to comprehend the difference, and nearly every member of the committee and Messrs. Oberly and Lyman be¬ sides took a turn at trying to make him under¬ stand. After awhile he said vaguely that he guessed he could not have it understood the question; that the story as he told it to the com¬ missioners at different times was correct. Ihroughout the examination he appeared to be at a loss to comprehend the drift of the questions aud had no power of language to answer them. Only ut one time, when Mr. Ly- m»n ipuko to him with impressive calmness and deliberation.did he appear for a moment to comprehend what was going on. SECRETARY DOYLE. Mr. John T. Doyle wss next examined and corroborated the testimony of Oberly and Ly¬ man as the investigation of the Campbell affair made by Oberly. The prosecution then said that their case was dosed on the first charge and the com¬ mittee then took up the second. THE SECOND CHARGE. This charge is that one Edwin D. Bailey, in violation of the civil service law, which inhibits the promotion of persons in the classified service until examination, was promoted by the said commission without any examination to test his fitness, as required by law. from a clerkship ti> the position of stenographer, an important p.ace m the said commission. when it was notoriously known at the time that said Bailey was not competent to till the said position of stenographer; that this proinotiou was made when there were several other clerks in the said comimsion who were expert stenographers, aud, under the principle governing promotions, undoubtedly entitled to the said position. Mil. LYMAN EXAMINED. Mr. Lyman was first examined. He testified as to the promotion of Mr. Baiiey to be stenog¬ rapher. Said that he was competent for the position; that he had been longest iu the serv¬ ice and was in everv way entitled to the pro¬ motion. He regarded Bailey as an expert stenographer. The position was provided for as a fourth-class clerkship, with the additional requirement that the clerk should also be a stenographer. The work required was more that of a fourth-class clerk Cliau of a stenog¬ rapher. Mr. Bailey was efficient both as clerk and stenographer. He said that no ex¬ amination was necessary for this promotion, but tests of Mr. Bailey's qualifications were made. Ho thought Mr. Bailey could pass an examination as stenographer. DOES NOT CONSIDER HIM COMPETENT. Mr. Morgan, ex-stenographer of the commis¬ sion. testified that he did not regard Mr. Bailey as un expert stenographer. He did not think he could lake testimony. He had Dot re¬ garded him as a stenographer in the proper sense of the word. On cross-examination by Mr. Lyman witness admitted that he had left the commission be¬ cause he felt aggrieved that his work as stenog¬ rapher had been taken away from him and given to some one else, llis commission read that he was stenographer of the commission and his name had appeared under this title iu the fourth annual report. Mr. Lvman asked Mr. Morgan if hf recollected that he told Holt* that the latter ought to have the appointment. Morgan replied in the negative, but said he was perfectly willing to say so now. The ap¬ pointment of Mr. Bailey had created a gnat deal of surprise and comment among the clerks in the rommission who knew anytning about stenography. In answer to direct questions from Mr. Lymao Morgan stated that he had never told Mr. Bailey that the latter was en¬ titled to the place, nor had he ever told Messrs. Jehusou aud Wallace, clerks in the commission, that Vtailey ought to have been appointed. Mr. Morgan wa3 very positive in these assertions, although Mr. Lyman said that he proposed to bring evidence to contradict him on this point. Witness said that his only acquaintance with Mr. Bailey's qualifications as a clerk was de¬ rived from having been required to take dicta¬ tion from him, a thing he had objected to doing. MB. BAILEt'g EXAMINATION PAPERS. At the close of the examination of this wit¬ ness Mr. Roosevelt wanted to take the stand for a moment, but the committee was anxious to adjourn. Mr. Roosevelt said he had the ex¬ amination papers of Mr. Bailey to show that he had passed an examination for stenography and had made a percentage of 78. He wanted to put this in evidence to answer the opinion of Mr. Morgan. The committee said that could be done today and an adjournment was then taken. DRIVING OTHERS' HORSES. A Law Wanted to Protect Teams Left Standing on the Street. The district attorney has been requested to make an effort to secure the enactment of a law for the protection of horses and vehicles in this city. The object of securing such a law is to prevent persons from driving off with horses and vehicles left standing on the streets by owners. Daring the past year or two boys have had a good time at the expense of the owners of such teams and to the detriment of the livery stable keepers. As the law now stands, according to the decision of t.»e courts, it is not necessary for persons to go \m livery stables. All that is necessary to se¬ cure the use of a horse and buggy is to drive off with one left standing on the street. Mr. Gait, the tlour and feed merchant, recently bad an unpleasant experience of that kind. Tues¬ day afternoon he left his horse and buggy standing on the street while he went Into a house. The animal was a spirited one and hard to manage. Wtien Mr. tialt came out the horse aud vehicle was gone. Their disap¬ pearance was reported to the police. After 1 o'clock the next morning a policeman found the horse and buggy near 9th aud E streets, where it had been abandoned. The norse had been driven almost to death and the buggy was covered with mud. Should the offender be captured be could only be prosecuted for fast driving or cruelty to animals. Some months ago a couple of small boys drove off with a horse and wagon from this city. They made no attempt to sell it, but merely went off for a trip through the conntry and were found more than sixty miles from Lere in Virginia They were arrested and brought back here, but on investigation the attorney found that there was no law that applied to the case. In many instances vehicles have been taken as far as Biadensburg and then abandoned. A Petersburg Belle Elopes. The north-bound fast train from Petersburg yesterday morning had as its passengers an eioping couple, who came to Washington, where they were married at noon. They were Robert L. Alley, a well-known citixen and the son of Capt. William E. Alley, and Miss Kitty Friend, a daughter of Thomas Friend of Petersburg. Miss Friend is an attractive and accomplished young lady and a favorite in society circles. She is only about seventeen years of age. The bridal couple returned home last night and were met at the depot by several of their friends. A O.

Rockvillz. February ML The public meeting of Montgomery county grange, held at Olney today, w*» well attended and the proceeding* wore of an interesting character. An address waa delivered by Worthy Master Brigliam of the National grange, which was listened to with marked at¬ tention. Itemarks were made by other promi¬ nent members of the order. A line lunch was served. Daring the thander storm Monday a large stack of hay on the farm of Mr. Chandler Keys near this place was struck by lightaing and set on Are. The top Of the stack was torn off and the fire extinguished by buckets of water be¬ fore any great damage was done. The building committee named in tho law authorizing the erection of a new court bouse at this place will hold a meeting berj next Tuesday and begin their labors. It u under¬ stood that nothing will bo done toward the demolition of the old building until after the adjournment of the March term of court, and in the meantime an architect will be employed, the plau of the building adopted, contracts given out and bonds issued by the county com¬ missioners and told to pay for the building. Notwithstanding the delay is: the passage of the bill to lease the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to the Washington and Cumberland railroad company, and tho complications likely to arise by tho decision of Judge Alvey in the Wash- ington county court, the friends of the road in this county seem to have an abiding faith in the ultimate success of the project. Should the receivers to bo appointed by the court recommend tho final sale of the property of the canal it is thought that the Washington and Cumberland company will be in a position to bid higher for the property than any rival corporation. S.AM. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. TO INCREASE THE APPROPRIATION. In their animal estimates for the improve¬ ment of streets tho Commissioners recom¬ mended an appropriation of T4.000 for tha ex¬ tension of 1 7th street. When the bill went be¬ fore the House for action the committee to which it was referred cut it down to 91.(MM). This amount, it is held, is insufliient. mul Mr. Cliapiu Brown in a letter to Senator Plunib re¬ cently called attention to it. The letter was forwarded to the Commissioners for report. Capt. Rossell, who has charge of such matters, recommended today that an additional $3,000 be appropriated, as the street in question is built up and worthy of improvement. DISMISSED. Private C. F. Clark of the metropolitan po¬ lice force, recently tried for intoxication, has been dismissed. The police trial board recom¬ mended a tine of f50, but the Commissioners thought the offense serious euough to justify his dismissal. MISCELLANEOUS. Raymond Horsman. a cook at the Washing- ten aisylum. has been dismissed. GEORGETOWN. Funeral of C. Frank Shekell..The funeral of the late C.

The Yiroinia Conference..The Virginia annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, which opened its session h'-re today, is one of the least numerous of the conferences of that church. It is a comparatively new body, being only twenty years old. Until tho separa¬ tion of tho M.E. churches Alexandria hud been since 1794 wart of the Baltimore conference, but after the division there were two churches- one on the east side ot Washington street ad¬ hering to the Baltimore conference and the one on the west side to the Virginia conference. This continued many years, but when these churches, which had during the war been occu¬ pied by the military, resumed worship many leading Alexandrians withirew from the church on the east side of the street, now known as Trinity church, and united with the M.E. church south on the west side of tho street Soon afterward many ministers of the M.E. church south united with a separate Balti¬ more conference and the M.E. church estab¬ lished a Virginia conference, so that there are now two Baltimore and two Virginia confer¬ ences and the conference uames of the two M. E. churches in Alexandria are reverted, the M.E. church south on the west side of the street being attached to the Baltimore confer¬ ence and the Trinity church on the east side to the Virginia conference, which meets there to¬ day. Bishop Fitzgerald presided. The opening services were of the most solemn character. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper being ad¬ ministered, roll called, preliminary arrange¬ ments for the sessions of the conference made, committees appointed, Ac. Rescued from Death.

David¬ son of Cincinnati In the gardens hero mag¬ nolias (laurel) and all other spring flowers are in full bloom and dwarf pears fully formed have made their appearance. Irrigation and Political Geography. An interesting problem relating to the water supply of several of the western states was briefly referred to by Prof. J. T. Rothrock at the meeting of the Academy of Naturul Sci¬ ences in Philadelphia Tuesday. He called at¬ tention to the fact that it /as not so much extent of acrcage that made western farm land valuable in many states us it was the accessibility of water for purposes of irrigation. He said that Kansas, Nebraska and Utah are dependent upon Colo¬ rado for their water supply, the latter stato being the water shed of this district. Colo¬ rado is now growing and being improved to such an extent that she needs ali her water for herself and the problem arises as to how the surrounding states and territories are to bo supplied. This question is now under consideration by the irrigation committee of the United States geological survey, but Prof. Rothrock doubted Whether they would be able to solve it under the existing arrange¬ ments of the boundaries. He urged that Con- Kess should be appealed to in order that the undaries of the states and territories might be so modified as to conform to the mountain ranges and natural water sheds. In this way the water supply of the various political di¬ visions might be equalised. To Limit Horse Racing. The New Jersey house had a hot debate yes¬ terday over the bill to limit horse racing to thirty day* on any track in the state. It looked like a hand-to-hand combat be- tween the Monmouth Park racing association and the Linden Park blood horse aasociutiou on the one side and the managers of the Clifton and Uuttenberg tracks on the other. The bouse voted down the motion to refer the bill to the attorney general, killed all dam¬ aging amendments and advanced it to third reading. The wife of Robert Ray Hamilton has de¬ cided to contest the letter's suit for divorce. The Reading railroad has ordered fifty new locomotives, which will be paid for oat of the proceeds of the new ear trust loan.

Abraham Lincoln, the fifteen-rear-old son of Robert T. Lincoln, American minuter to Eng¬ land, now lying at the point of death in Lon¬ don, i« hie father'a only eon and, with the ex¬ ception of Minuter Lincoln, the only de¬ scendant of the martyred President, his grand¬ father. Minuter Lincoln married in 1869 Miss Mary Harlan, daughter of ex-Senator Harlan of Iowa, whom President Lincoln appointed his Secretary of the Interior, although he did not take office until President Johnson's adminia- trmtion. The frnits of this onion are three children.a handsome girl, the eldest child, now budding into womanhood; Abraham, the dying boy. and a second daughter, still younger. i oung Abraham was born in Chicago, where his father was practicing law. He was a sturdy little fellow, modest, like his famous irraud- fnther and father. When his father was Sec¬ retary of War, from 1831 to 1886, little Abra¬ ham. a lad of nine years, on his arrival here, wiw. considered one of the picturesque features . at '^e capital, for ou all fair days he C?Ui. , 8een darting about the smooth streets ® °.n bis bicycle, which he rodo with much skill, in company with the young sons of 1 resident Garfield and Attorney (General Mac >eagh. Soon after Minister Lincoln removed to London young Abraham's health became impaired and he was sent to the south of France in the hope that he would be benefited by the climate. The treatment of the French physi¬ cians, however, proved disastrous to the young invalid and he became much worse. He was tuken to Versailles, where an operation was performed for an abscess. Then he rallied nnd was removed to his father's home in Lon¬ don. Becoming worse, however, another op¬ eration was performed last week for the remo¬ val of the abscess, which had formed again, and it was hoped that the lad then had a fair c.'iance of recovery. For several davs, however, lie lias been lingering between life and death. MARRIED TO A RUFFIAN. A Daughter of Refined and Wealthy Parents Seeking a Divorce. The divorce case of Hattie Condon against William Condon at Cincinnati has devel¬ oped a strong collection of facts. In 1878 ^ illiam Condon was tried for the murder of Lou Perry, a notorious woman. He was acquitted on technical grounds. At this time he attracted the attention of Hattie Jones, the daughter of weal¬ thy and refined parents. Infatuated with Condon she soon had him madly in love with her. Finally the girl became weary of her love and made up her mind to cut him. She met him for the purpose of saying good-bye. While they were talking a man whom Condon sus¬ pected of being his successful rival happened by. Condon sprang ou him and stabbed him nine times, rendering him a cripple for life. Miss Jones was persuaded to marry Condon to avoid testifying against him. The state had no witnesses and he was never tried. The couple lived together a short time, then sepa¬ rated, but no action for divorce was taken until now. DRUGGED BY HIS BARBER. A St. Louis Man Chloroformed and Robbed While Being Shaved. Emil Graf told a peculiar story in the first district police court in St. Louis yesterdny. Graf was arrested about 4 o'clock on the after¬ noon of last Thursday. Patrolman Alexander found him in the barber shop of Fredk. Sumann, at C07 South Uroadway. Ho had an open knife in his huud and was raging up and down the room like a wild man. He claimed that he had been robbed and wanted Sumana to give him back his pocket book. The patrolman thought the fellow was drunk and arrested him. He swore today that he went to Sumann's barber shop to get shaved and was drugged in the chair and robbed. He alleges that chloroform was put to his nose and lie thought it was a new kind of perfume. Su¬ mann was arrested. . . Redisricting Oblo. The redisricting bill, giving the democrats fifteen and possibly sixteen out of the twenty- one Ohio congressional districts, passed the house yesterday afternoon. There was little opposition by republicans, only one Bpeecli be¬ ing made against its passage. The bill will be called up in the senate today.

But of thu latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per¬ manent residents of the city hving in lodgings, Ac.

While its aggregate circulation there¬ fore gives Th* Stab a distinctive and encioMs position in modern journalism, the fullness of Its home circulation, the extent to which It is relied upon by member* of tho household, and particularly by the pur¬ chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of tbe paper, to which no other dally Journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter¬ prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST KETUKNS FBOM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOB ADVERTISING. This is proven by tba growth of The Stab's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate tha esteem in which «ny article is held by tba public than a constantly increasing demand for it.day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,.in the face of ad¬ verse claims and pretentions competition.

SMALL CATCHKS OF FISH.

Th« Effect of the Recent Gale on thePotomac.

The steamer Frances arrived at the 12thstreet wharf last night from a trip to the fishingshores down the river as far as Potomac Cityand brought what fish had been canght duringtbe two days previous. Capt. l'aaseno said thatthe catch Monday and Tuesday was very small,oung to the heavy gale that visited the rivershores. Before the wind storm some goodcatches were made, but the heavy northwestwind drove the tisli from the shore, so the haulswere poor. There was only one shad aud lessthan a hundred herring brought np.Capt. Passe uo said that in one haul made in

the creek opposite Potomac City 10t! tine carpwere caught. They weighed from one to sixpounds apiece. As soon as the wind dies outCapt. Pasaeno thinks some large catches willbe made.Bockfish are much more plentiful than fisher¬

men thought they would be. although they arenot yet being caught in large numbers. Cat¬tish and eels ar« plentiful and thousands of.mall fish are being caught that aro thrownaway because they are not lit for the market.

How to Drciw Oiir School Children.To the Kdltorof ImEvijwsSth:Every parent is puzzled in a greater or less

degree with the above problem. In these laterdays of extravagance the care and expense im¬posed upon the parent of dressing his or herchildren as finely as the children of other peo¬ple of equal intelligence and respectability hasbecome a burdensome and abnormal tax uponthe pocket of the father and the ingenuity andtune of the mother. If the child is dressed (oroverdressed) to satisfy the pride of its patent ittoo frequently happens that the only other resultis to stimulate the vanity of the '.-hild and theenvy of its playmates. The child believes itselfto be better than ita fellows, simply bocause ofits fine dresses, when, as a matter of fact, itmav be intellectually and morally of a muchlower grade. Its less finely dressed schoolmate, on the other hand, feels that itsmerits are not recognized under its morehumble garb and a feeling of discon¬tent arises, and this causes both factorsto grow np with distorted, embittered and er¬roneous ideas of life. "Fine feathers makeline birds" is still shown to be a ruling impres¬sion by the habits of modern society, and yethow disgustingly false do we know it to be.Shall we continue to educate our children inthese beliefs.' I propose as one step of reformthat we adopt some system of regimentals inthe public schools, not of the guy militaryorder but some quiet, tasteful pattern, con¬structed for economy and service.some light-shaded woolen goods for winter and some com¬fortable gingham for summer, with hats ofconventional pattern, leaving off of the headsof the girls the silk, velvet, feathers, Ac., andsaving ourselves the expense, time and annoy¬ance of struggling in this disgusting ef- |fort at competition in fiuery. At graduationthe boy or girl may then "comeout. as it were,with a higher appreciation of what he or shemay enjoy, and with an experience of schooldays which has repressed this abnormal growthof precocioUMiese. creating the stronger andtruer belief that dress is really of secondaryimportance; that standing ar.d excellence ared«rpendent upon character, fostering the ideasof equality and brotherhood and avoiding alljealousies, envy, vanity and mortified pride,which grow out of such artificial caste. For thereasons given above 1 do not dress iny ownchildren as fiuely .is is the custom of others ofequal means and of many others of less means,but it is not an easy tasK to consistently keepto this policy without giving rise to some dis¬content iu the child, so long as the bulk of so¬ciety continues to indulge its children in ex¬travagant display. There are doubtless manyparents who feel as I do. aud it seems to methat a uniform dress in the public school wouldbe productive ot great good in relieving theabuormal results that are rapidly growing intohabit and la) ing the foundation for futuremisery.

Celebration of the Quadri-Centennlal.To the Editor of The Eve*wo Stab .

A world's fair has nothing iu common with a

proper celebration of the quadri-centennial ofColumbus. The writer believes that a com¬memoration of Christopher Columbus shouldbe of a more dignified character than that of aworld's fair. In what might be termed a Col-umbiad there is ample room for the variouselements of history, poetry, the arts, sciences,geographical details, nautical and scenic rep¬resentations to contribute to the commemora¬tion of the great discoverer of our western hem¬isphere. Our aborigiues will form a picturesquefeature in the Columbiad. You will readilyperceive that to bring these various elementsto bear upon such an eveut as the discovery ofAmerica will give occasion for the manifestationof the highest skill and taste by professors andproficients in many of the professions and oc¬cupations which are devoted to musical, artis¬tic and scenic representations, and that Co¬lumbus and no other person or party would bethe object upon which their talents would bebestowed. I need scarcely say that the capital,the city of Washington. 1). C., possesses allthe facilities for accomplishing the purpose inview with becoming dignity and eclat. Thereare the representatives of the nation.the Pres-ident. Vice President, the cabinet, the inem-bers of Congress. Supreme Court and otherdignitaries representing the people, the minis¬ters and ambassadors of foreign nations, theCapitol and public buildings, museums, galler¬ies. Ac..and all things suitable to make an im¬pressive display in the capital of the UnitedSlates, in the District of.Columbia. It wouldseem that this is a legitimate object forcongressional action and no jealousies or dis¬putes could srise from a Columbus memorial inWashington, leaving the question of a world'sfair to the disposal of whom it may concern.

HO» or BIT. B. D. BAILET.KB. BilLXT'l COM¬PETENCY AS A iTUOOliraU.

After Tbb Stab's report closed yesterday Mr.Campbell's examination wax continued at con¬siderable length. Before they had got wellinto the examination the witness had com¬

pletely lost his bead and answered questions atrandom. He told the story of his copying thepapers for Mrs. Smith ss it has bean told sev¬eral times before, with the important excep¬tion that he said he had made the copy as a

pastime before Mrs. Smith saked him for them,and that he had them in his drawer when sheAsked if he had any sample questions he couldgive her. He was questioned closely as to hisreasons for making the copy. He looked per¬fectly blank and said he had no reasons, butjust did it after office hours, while waiting forthe mall to be sent out.After a deal of questioning on this point,during which he appeared to be entirely be¬

wildered. the witness' attention was called tothe fact that there was a direct coutrudictioubetween the story he told Messri. Lyman,Oberly, Roosevelt and Thompson at differenttimes and his testimony on the stand, as he hadformerly said that he made the copy at the in¬stance of Mrs. Smith.

APPEARED not TO COKPBXHE>D.He did not seem at all to comprehend the

difference, and nearly every member of thecommittee and Messrs. Oberly and Lyman be¬sides took a turn at trying to make him under¬stand. After awhile he said vaguely that heguessed he could not have it understood thequestion; that the story as he told it to the com¬missioners at different times was correct.Ihroughout the examination he appeared tobe at a loss to comprehend the drift of thequestions aud had no power of language toanswer them. Only ut one time, when Mr. Ly-m»n ipuko to him with impressive calmnessand deliberation.did he appear for a moment tocomprehend what was going on.

SECRETARY DOYLE.Mr. John T. Doyle wss next examined and

corroborated the testimony of Oberly and Ly¬man as the investigation of the Campbell affairmade by Oberly.The prosecution then said that their case

was dosed on the first charge and the com¬mittee then took up the second.

THE SECOND CHARGE.This charge is that one Edwin D. Bailey, in

violation of the civil service law, which inhibitsthe promotion of persons in the classified serviceuntil examination, was promoted by the saidcommission without any examination to test hisfitness, as required by law. from a clerkshipti> the position of stenographer, an importantp.ace m the said commission. when it wasnotoriously known at the time that said Baileywas not competent to till the said position ofstenographer; that this proinotiou was madewhen there were several other clerks in thesaid comimsion who were expert stenographers,aud, under the principle governing promotions,undoubtedly entitled to the said position.

Mil. LYMAN EXAMINED.Mr. Lyman was first examined. He testified

as to the promotion of Mr. Baiiey to be stenog¬rapher. Said that he was competent for theposition; that he had been longest iu the serv¬ice and was in everv way entitled to the pro¬motion. He regarded Bailey as an expertstenographer. The position was provided foras a fourth-class clerkship, with the additionalrequirement that the clerk should also be a

stenographer. The work required was morethat of a fourth-class clerk Cliau of a stenog¬rapher. Mr. Bailey was efficient both as clerkand stenographer. He said that no ex¬amination was necessary for this promotion,but tests of Mr. Bailey's qualifications weremade. Ho thought Mr. Bailey could pass anexamination as stenographer.

DOES NOT CONSIDER HIM COMPETENT.Mr. Morgan, ex-stenographer of the commis¬

sion. testified that he did not regard Mr.Bailey as un expert stenographer. He did notthink he could lake testimony. He had Dot re¬garded him as a stenographer in the propersense of the word.On cross-examination by Mr. Lyman witness

admitted that he had left the commission be¬cause he felt aggrieved that his work as stenog¬rapher had been taken away from him andgiven to some one else, llis commission readthat he was stenographer of the commissionand his name had appeared under this title iuthe fourth annual report. Mr. Lvman askedMr. Morgan if hf recollected that he told Holt*that the latter ought to have the appointment.Morgan replied in the negative, but said hewas perfectly willing to say so now. The ap¬pointment of Mr. Bailey had created a gnatdeal of surprise and comment among the clerksin the rommission who knew anytning aboutstenography. In answer to direct questionsfrom Mr. Lymao Morgan stated that he hadnever told Mr. Bailey that the latter was en¬titled to the place, nor had he ever told Messrs.Jehusou aud Wallace, clerks in the commission,that Vtailey ought to have been appointed. Mr.Morgan wa3 very positive in these assertions,although Mr. Lyman said that he proposedto bring evidence to contradict him on thispoint.Witness said that his only acquaintance with

Mr. Bailey's qualifications as a clerk was de¬rived from having been required to take dicta¬tion from him, a thing he had objected todoing.

MB. BAILEt'g EXAMINATION PAPERS.At the close of the examination of this wit¬

ness Mr. Roosevelt wanted to take the standfor a moment, but the committee was anxiousto adjourn. Mr. Roosevelt said he had the ex¬amination papers of Mr. Bailey to show thathe had passed an examination for stenographyand had made a percentage of 78. He wantedto put this in evidence to answer the opinion ofMr. Morgan. The committee said that couldbe done today and an adjournment was thentaken.

DRIVING OTHERS' HORSES.

A Law Wanted to Protect Teams LeftStanding on the Street.

The district attorney has been requested tomake an effort to secure the enactment of alaw for the protection of horses and vehiclesin this city. The object of securing such a lawis to prevent persons from driving off withhorses and vehicles left standing on the streetsby owners. Daring the past year or twoboys have had a good time at the expenseof the owners of such teams and to thedetriment of the livery stable keepers. As thelaw now stands, according to the decision oft.»e courts, it is not necessary for persons to go\m livery stables. All that is necessary to se¬cure the use of a horse and buggy is to driveoff with one left standing on the street. Mr.Gait, the tlour and feed merchant, recently badan unpleasant experience of that kind. Tues¬day afternoon he left his horse and buggystanding on the street while he went Into ahouse. The animal was a spirited one andhard to manage. Wtien Mr. tialt came outthe horse aud vehicle was gone. Their disap¬pearance was reported to the police. After 1o'clock the next morning a policeman foundthe horse and buggy near 9th aud E streets,where it had been abandoned. The norse hadbeen driven almost to death and the buggy wascovered with mud.Should the offender be captured be could

only be prosecuted for fast driving or crueltyto animals. Some months ago a couple ofsmall boys drove off with a horse and wagonfrom this city. They made no attempt to sellit, but merely went off for a trip through theconntry and were found more than sixty milesfrom Lere in Virginia They were arrestedand brought back here, but on investigationthe attorney found that there was no law thatapplied to the case. In many instances vehicleshave been taken as far as Biadensburg and thenabandoned.

authorizing the erection of a new court bouseat this place will hold a meeting berj nextTuesday and begin their labors. It u under¬stood that nothing will bo done toward thedemolition of the old building until after theadjournment of the March term of court, andin the meantime an architect will be employed,the plau of the building adopted, contractsgiven out and bonds issued by the county com¬missioners and told to pay for the building.Notwithstanding the delay is: the passage of

the bill to lease the Chesapeake and Ohio canalto the Washington and Cumberland railroadcompany, and tho complications likely to ariseby tho decision of Judge Alvey in the Wash-ington county court, the friends of the road inthis county seem to have an abiding faith inthe ultimate success of the project.

TO INCREASE THE APPROPRIATION.In their animal estimates for the improve¬

ment of streets tho Commissioners recom¬mended an appropriation of T4.000 for tha ex¬tension of 1 7th street. When the bill went be¬fore the House for action the committee towhich it was referred cut it down to 91.(MM).This amount, it is held, is insufliient. mul Mr.Cliapiu Brown in a letter to Senator Plunib re¬cently called attention to it. The letter wasforwarded to the Commissioners for report.Capt. Rossell, who has charge of such matters,recommended today that an additional $3,000be appropriated, as the street in question isbuilt up and worthy of improvement.

DISMISSED.Private C. F. Clark of the metropolitan po¬

lice force, recently tried for intoxication, hasbeen dismissed. The police trial board recom¬mended a tine of f50, but the Commissionersthought the offense serious euough to justifyhis dismissal.

annual conference of the Methodist Episcopalchurch, which opened its session h'-re today, isone of the least numerous of the conferences ofthat church. It is a comparatively new body,being only twenty years old. Until tho separa¬tion of tho M.E. churches Alexandria hud beensince 1794 wart of the Baltimore conference,but after the division there were two churches-one on the east side ot Washington street ad¬hering to the Baltimore conference and the oneon the west side to the Virginia conference.This continued many years, but when thesechurches, which had during the war been occu¬pied by the military, resumed worshipmany leading Alexandrians withirew from thechurch on the east side of the street, nowknown as Trinity church, and united with theM.E. church south on the west side of thostreet Soon afterward many ministers of theM.E. church south united with a separate Balti¬more conference and the M.E. church estab¬lished a Virginia conference, so that there arenow two Baltimore and two Virginia confer¬ences and the conference uames of the two M.E. churches in Alexandria are reverted, theM.E. church south on the west side of thestreet being attached to the Baltimore confer¬ence and the Trinity church on the east side tothe Virginia conference, which meets there to¬day.

Irrigation and Political Geography.An interesting problem relating to the water

supply of several of the western states was

briefly referred to by Prof. J. T. Rothrock atthe meeting of the Academy of Naturul Sci¬ences in Philadelphia Tuesday. He called at¬tention to the fact that it /as not so muchextent of acrcage that made westernfarm land valuable in many states usit was the accessibility of water forpurposes of irrigation. He said that Kansas,Nebraska and Utah are dependent upon Colo¬rado for their water supply, the latter statobeing the water shed of this district. Colo¬rado is now growing and being improved tosuch an extent that she needs ali her water forherself and the problem arises as to how thesurrounding states and territories are to bosupplied. This question is now underconsideration by the irrigation committeeof the United States geological survey, butProf. Rothrock doubted Whether they wouldbe able to solve it under the existing arrange¬ments of the boundaries. He urged that Con-

Kess should be appealed to in order that theundaries of the states and territories mightbe so modified as to conform to the mountain

ranges and natural water sheds. In this waythe water supply of the various political di¬visions might be equalised.

To Limit Horse Racing.The New Jersey house had a hot debate yes¬

It looked like a hand-to-hand combat be-tween the Monmouth Park racing associationand the Linden Park blood horse aasociutiouon the one side and the managers of the Cliftonand Uuttenberg tracks on the other.The bouse voted down the motion to refer

the bill to the attorney general, killed all dam¬aging amendments and advanced it to thirdreading.The wife of Robert Ray Hamilton has de¬

cided to contest the letter's suit for divorce.The Reading railroad has ordered fifty newlocomotives, which will be paid for oat of the

LINCOLN'S GRANDSON DYING.

Young ..Abe" S|.,^ Sinking at IllsHome In London.

Abraham Lincoln, the fifteen-rear-old son ofRobert T. Lincoln, American minuter to Eng¬land, now lying at the point of death in Lon¬don, i« hie father'a only eon and, with the ex¬ception of Minuter Lincoln, the only de¬scendant of the martyred President, his grand¬father. Minuter Lincoln married in 1869 MissMary Harlan, daughter of ex-Senator Harlan ofIowa, whom President Lincoln appointed hisSecretary of the Interior, although he did nottake office until President Johnson's adminia-trmtion. The frnits of this onion are threechildren.a handsome girl, the eldest child,now budding into womanhood; Abraham, thedying boy. and a second daughter, still younger.i oung Abraham was born in Chicago, wherehis father was practicing law. He was a sturdylittle fellow, modest, like his famous irraud-fnther and father. When his father was Sec¬retary of War, from 1831 to 1886, little Abra¬ham. a lad of nine years, on his arrival here,wiw. considered one of the picturesque features

.at '^e capital, for ou all fair days he

® °.n bis bicycle, which he rodo withmuch skill, in company with the young sons of1 resident Garfield and Attorney (General Mac>eagh. Soon after Minister Lincoln removedto London young Abraham's health becameimpaired and he was sent to the south of Francein the hope that he would be benefited by theclimate. The treatment of the French physi¬cians, however, proved disastrous to the younginvalid and he became much worse. He wastuken to Versailles, where an operation wasperformed for an abscess. Then he ralliednnd was removed to his father's home in Lon¬don. Becoming worse, however, another op¬eration was performed last week for the remo¬val of the abscess, which had formed again,and it was hoped that the lad then had a fairc.'iance of recovery. For several davs, however,lie lias been lingering between life and death.

MARRIED TO A RUFFIAN.A Daughter of Refined and Wealthy

Parents Seeking a Divorce.

The divorce case of Hattie Condon againstWilliam Condon at Cincinnati has devel¬oped a strong collection of facts. In 1878^ illiam Condon was tried for the murder of LouPerry, a notorious woman. He was acquitted ontechnical grounds. At this time he attracted theattention of Hattie Jones, the daughter of weal¬thy and refined parents. Infatuated with Condonshe soon had him madly in love with her.

Finally the girl became weary of her loveand made up her mind to cut him. She met himfor the purpose of saying good-bye. Whilethey were talking a man whom Condon sus¬pected of being his successful rival happenedby. Condon sprang ou him and stabbed himnine times, rendering him a cripple for life.

Miss Jones was persuaded to marry Condonto avoid testifying against him. The state hadno witnesses and he was never tried. Thecouple lived together a short time, then sepa¬rated, but no action for divorce was taken untilnow.

THE EVENING STAR If offered to the piA>lie, in (food faith and with confidence, as TUBBEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM 1MTHE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, Mway be truthfully Mid that it ia without aa

equal in thu respect any where in the world.The* averments are borne out by the figuresgiven below, which are compiled from the.worn weekly statements printed in the paperon each Monday in the year, and condensedfrom the sworn tabular vtatcmenta showing theaverage daily circulation of the paper duringthe year 18*9. published in Tax Stab on th«18th of January, 1890.

Briefly (tatod, the points upon which thoabove claim u baaed are theee: That.

1. The Mar kM threw Umes Ike clm-IAlton el aajr elber payer la Batklapton!i. The Star** circulation In Baahlnp

ion ta double thai of nil the other Ball?paper* published In the rt(TBelher!t3. The Mar haa a larger

circulation In the cltr where printedIn proportion to rending na< |

tug population, than anypaper In the world ! SI

4. The Stsur ha* the largeat regalarand permanent home circulation of

any two-cent afternoon paper In thoCulled BtateaIt! 1

In support of these claims and to show th«constantly increasing circulation of the paper,attention is invited to the figure* following:

30,090 copies circulated daily, no more than1,102 copies are sent out of the city byand 1,106 go to suburban places, by express,railway trains, etc., leaving as a net circulaboain the city proper the PHENOMENAL PltO-PORTION of 92*, PES CENT, or AN AOOLE¬GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number,21,142 were delivered dally by regularcurriers at tbe homes of permanent sub¬scribers.The remaining 6.740 copies represent the sale*

over the office counter, at the news stands, andbj newsboys. But of thu latter number a verylarge proportion is supplied regularly to per¬manent residents of the city hving in lodgings,Ac. (not householders), so that its whole circulatiou may be literally said to be in the familycircle. While its aggregate circulation there¬fore gives Th* Stab a distinctive and encioMsposition in modern journalism, the fullness ofIts home circulation, the extent to whichIt is relied upon by member* of thohousehold, and particularly by the pur¬chasing portion of the community, are

the marked characteristics of tbe paper,to which no other dally Journal now

published can furnish a parallel.This is no idle boast on the part of the paper.

It is a well established fact, demonstrated tothe full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter¬

prising business men of Washington, who seekand know where to find THE LARGESTKETUKNS FBOM THE MONEY PAID OUTFOB ADVERTISING. This is proven by tbagrowth of The Stab's advertising patronage.Nothing can more surely illustrate thaesteem in which «ny article is held by tbapublic than a constantly increasing demandfor it.day by day, week by week, month bymonth, and year by year,.in the face of ad¬verse claims and pretentions competition.
