Says q Washington correspondent:
"The latest social sensation is that
caused by the arrest of young man
named St. Clair, otherwise known as
sSis' Sinclair. This young man found
great enjoym ment in attending the numer-
GUS fashionable balls, parties, and recep-
tions given here during the present win
ter attired in the clothing of fashion
able belle of the season. His get up
was somewhat remarkable, and strange
to say, he played his difficult part SO
we'll that he was not discovered until
Wednesday evening last, while in at
tendance ut the sociable given by the
Minnesota State Association at Masonic
Temple. There he attended, and at
tracted much attention, being as 1t were,
one OF the leading bellies OF the evening.
He was arrested soon after leaving the
temple. He claims to be but fifteen
years old, but his father says he is
twenty. His dress was of the latest
fashion, and he wore four-button white
kid gloves. His hair ornamentations
were procured at the same place where
other bellies procure them, and were de-
cidedly tasteful. He managed his train
with elegance and ease. He has very
feminine appearance, and as a lady
would be called very good-looking. The
case was sfixed' at the police court, and
no prosecution followed, though there
were great many curious persons there
yesterday morning who wanted to see
the young fellow"
