And what's life? Gro ask the maid.
The love-light kindling in her eye:
Ask ere the beauty dim and fade
From blushing cheeks to wilt and die.
Life? 'Tis season here OF love.
Aforetaste of the Heaven above
And what is life? Go ask the saint
VINO tolls alog the narrow road.
Weary and travel-worn and faint.
Yet keeps his eYe on Faith-on God;
Ask. and you hear the quick reply.

A BOGUS CHECK swINDLER.
Arrest of Potts Seymour in New York

In January last the iewelry establishments Of
Carl Petersen and Goldstein q Co. were success
fully victimized by bogus check man. The opera
tor visited the store Of Carl Petersen on Seventh
street, and purchased fne stem m-winding watch
and chain for sl2e, for which sum he gave a check
upon the Bank Of Washington, drawn in the name
Of John 7. Hood. The man afterwards visited the
store of S. Goldstein Co., at the corner Of Tenth
and d streets and purchased a valuable pair Of
sleeye-buttons and chain, giving a check for SIS
on the National Bank Of the Republic drawn in the
same name as the other When the checks were
presented at the banks IL was discovered that
that the checks were worthless.
The matter was reported at police headquar-
tiers, and the case was assigned to Detectives NC
Dewitt and McElfresh who remembered having
seen about the town at the time man who was
known to be capable Of such an act, and whom,
from the description of the man that was fur
nished, they judged to be the swindler. They
learned that their man had gone, and went to
Baltimore TO look for him, but did not find him
there. Major Richards sent a request to Sa-
perintendent Walling, of New York, to keep 4
lookout for him, and last Friday the Superin-
tendent telegraphed that they had his man. De-
tective McDevitt left for New York Friday with
United States warrant for the man. In New
York the detective found in custody Potts Sey-
mour, alias John 5. Hood, alias L. Z. Peyton,
who consented to accompany him to Washington
Detective McDevitt also recovered the jewelry
obtained upon the checks. The detective and his
prisoner arrived here late Saturday night, and
Seymour was confined at police headquarters

PLAYING DETECTIVE.
An Attsmpt to Law Blaekmail

Last Saturday afternoon q lady residing in
South Washington sent the following communica-
tion which she had received TO Major Richards
for his information, with the statement that she
believed It to be an effort at blackmail The let
ter was addressed to her, and says:
MRS. Permit me to inform you that you
are about to be thrown into great deal of trouble
and dthatiis within the power Of certain detective
to give you information that VIII save you from
that which will make you miserable the rest Of
your life. Are you willing to pay for the infor-
desire, will call this afternoon, and reassure you
that what l say is true. There is no time to
be lost. In haste,
A DETECTIVE FRIEND.
AS no member of the detective corps was cog
niEant Of such transaction, the superintendent
directed Detectives Sargent and McElfresh to
take the case in hand and bring IL to satisfac-
tory solution. These gentlemen went to the
awaited the pseudodetective's arrival. Shortly
after O'Clock he put in an appearance, renewed
his statement and demanded tl00 as the price for
furnishing the Information. He represented that
he was q detective officer, and what he stated
were facts that would transpire unless the money
was forthcoming Immediately. The signal
agreed upon was given, and the two genuine de-
tectives entered from the next chamber, where
they had overheard all Of the conversation. The
young man vas somewhat surprised at their ap-
pearance but tried to make light Of the affair,
which did not appear quite as funny TO the ofcers.
He was escorted to police headquarters, where he
registered as L. H. Stamburgh, and is held to
await hearing before Judge Smell to-day.

ST. AUGUsTINEs CHURCH.
Preparius for the Dedication Ceremonies,

The new church Of st. Augustine's, which is
being rapidly completed, will be dedicated on
Trinity Sunday A great many prominent citi-
zens have been invited to attend the dedication
ceremonies which will be on q grand scale.
Father Berotti, pastor of the church, extended
an invitation few days since to the Catholic and
benevolent societies OF the city to participate in
the dedication.
A meeting Of representatives of the several
societies, including the Knights Of St. Patrick,
Hibernian benevolent societies and the Catholic
temperance societies, was held yesterday at the
West End hall to arrange for their share Of the
ceremonies AS the seating capacity Of the church
is not great enough to admit Of all the societies
attending in a body, It was decided that the
organizations should be represented by their on
GERS, with Chief Marshal p. NJ. Kelley and his
aids, making, in all, a body Of men Numbering
about one hundred and twelve, who will attend in
regalia. Chief Marshall Kelley will act as mar.
shall on the occasion. The representatives of the
several societies will meet on the morning of
Trinity Sunday at O'Clock in the hall Of the
west End Hibernian Society, whence they will
proceed TO the church on Fifteenth street. The
knights Of st. Augustine will also take a promi-
nent part in the ceremonies. The arrangements
for the ceremonies Of dedication will probably be
completed this week.
