Washington Letter in Chicaao Journal.
All along the way, on to Dupont Circle, there
are Queen Anne houses, some more go than
others, till Mr. Blaine's square, French architect
ure Is reached. This has two entrances, one on
the east, where the steps are guarded by bright
brass rods that show their FURNISH in the sun
light, and the other on the north, with porte
cOchere. But with such variety of architecture
one comes back to the WindcS residence with
wonderful ss.isfucr1on. It does not weary the
eye with turrets or towers. crooks or inches,
oyerhangng caves or topheavy windows. or eff
forts to combine several styles in one nharmo-
NOUS whole. 1t is plain. spacious and hand
some on the exterior, but infinitely more attrac-
tive as an interior. The broad hall leads direct
ly through to the handsomest private dining
room here. This extends crOsswise-at one
end with deep alcove window, at the other
with doors opening into the dining room.
On one side is an oak buffet; on the other
an oak mantel OF the sixteenth century. The
paper on the wall harmonzes with the oak
finish, and altogether the room gives q sense of
substantial elegance. and is cheerful without
heaviness. The dining room is the whole length
of the house. and on the west side broken by a
broad window. At either end another deep
window, and the double doors opening into the
dining room are matched by similar ones open
ing into the hall. just opposite those leading
into the library. The three rooms and hall can

by their arrangement The stairway is in a side
hall leading to the right. quite out of the way,
and yet convenient. the two flights to the
second floor broken by landing lighted by
stained-glass window. All of the windows get
bit OF stained glass, with birds Of brilliant color
put in the upper part. It gives q soft, agreea-
bic light to the rooms The dining room is not
yet furnished. Mrs. Window has taken time to
study effects. and to get such pieces Us seemed
most desirable, without the haste that often
compels regret after things are bought that are
not desirable. The result is a well-furnished,
satisfactory, beautiful home, and one, fancy,
not to be given up because of Mr.. Window
going out of official life. There was no more
reason why he should not have built this house
than there was why Senators Cameron, Pendle-
ton, Van Wyck and others should not have built
theirs. But comment has been made upon Mr..
Window for doing it. If a Senator has his own
home. or rather his own house, here, he can
make it real home. He cannot do SO with a
rented house. And it is almost impossible to
get comfortable furnished house, even at q
high rent.

sticklc-backs, less than an inch and half in
length, destroyed twenty five shad larya placed
In an aquarium with them In the space of half
an hour.
More nsidious than the animal enemies is the
deadly fungus that attacks and DESTROYS eggs
that are not kept in gentle motion by currents
OF water. This fungus is great hinderance to
the success OF artificial fish Matching but some
forms OF glass jars, which allow of continuous
movement of the Ova. overcome this to a certain
extent. 1nis fungus, or alga. as some think 1t.
develops upon dead bodies. such as dead flies.
dead fist. Ova, and so forth, but. once developed
IL spreads to healthy ova, and even to Twin.
active fish OF large size. among which it causes
great mortality. Mr.. Livingston Stone h.-
recommended strong sc.::..tt:;,,,i Ut Common salt
t" -. ans fungus, and states he has found it
quite effectual. Mr.. Behlcr, of the Matching
honsc at Druid Hill, states that if young salmon
infested with the fungus are dipped bodily into
asphalt the fungus will be killed and the Young
FISH come out alive aud healthy, the asphalt
gradually pecling of. This seems almost incred-
ibic, but was stated TO Mr.. Rider by the expert
menter himself.
The shad is no predaceOus fish, like the pike
or the salmon; it has no array of sharp teeth
with when to capture other fishes but like all
tn" herring family, to which it belongs. is
st destitute OF teeth, while indeed. the
3 are practically toothless. Thus its food

f.id OF Cyctops is as cat to a mouse. Thus the
food OF man himself is dependent, by chain he
takes no cOgnizance of, upon the existence of
beings too small for his unaded eyes to see.
Like the salmon, the shad. as is well known,
asccnds rivers to lay its eggs, and ii it survives
the OperatiOn-which is very large if-returns
to the ocean. 1t is seldom that food Is found in

crustacea, since Mr.. Ryder found their re-
mains in the stomach of q female captured
above Washington and always noted traces of
the hard parts Of these little animals In the in
testine, together with cells of alge. shells Of
dlatoms, etc. An old piscator states that,
when lying upon the rapids, shad may be taken
with hook and line. The youn-, shad, which
have teeth. will bite, according to the same
authority;a at tiny fly. The adult shad probably
takes its food in the same manner as the men,
haden and most of the herring tribe are known
to do-tnat is, by swimming with the mouth
open.

time which the eggs need to hatch varies with
the temperature. as Is proved by the fact that
In water of 74o Fahrenheit shad oya were

hours. while In water of 645o Fahrenheit they
needed hundred and nine hours, and when

Lynching in Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 22.-The Ameri-
cans special from Pulaski, Tenn, says:
Kyle Walker and Harry Reid, both col
ored, were arrested for supposed implication
in the murder of young True at Veto, Ala,
but were released on Wednesday. Certain
parties believing them gully, investigated
and found proof, and rearrested them. By
threats a fourteen-year-old son of Wesley
Warren, lynched on Tuesday, was forced to
disclose the particulars of the crime, which
were substantiated by his mother, and the
goods and mule stolen were found in the
places indicated. Walker and Reid were
taken on Thursday night and lynched. They
confessed fully before being hanged, but ex-
pressed no feelings of regret. The plot was
deliberately formed and executed, and in
cluded the killing of ]. NJ, Neal, who, fortu-
nately left the store two hours before the
killing occurred. The parties were traced to
Warren's house by tracks IN the mud. One
other negro implicated is being held for
further proof

Virginia DueIists Arrested,

RICHMOND, Va, June 22.-Telegrams re-
ceived tonight report the arrest, near Hano-
yer Junction, twenty-five miles from Rich
mond, of R. F. Beirne, one of the princi-
pals, and Page McCarty and W. w. Archer,
his friends; also, Wavery Ragland, of the
Elan party, No fight is reported, and it is
believed none has taken place. Berne was
bailed, and went to his home in Ashland.
1t has since been ascertained that the duel
had been arranged for this afternoon, and
but for the sudden appearance of the officers
five minutes more would not have elapsed
before the fight would have taken place, as
it would have been all over but for some dis
agreement between McCarty, Bierne's second,
and Ragland, the second for Elan, about tine
pistols to be used That trouble had been
settled, and the party was about moving to
the place where Elan was awaiting them
when they were arrested.

A Brutal Husband Nearly Kills His Wife,
After Numbering Her Son.
CHICAGO, June 22.-At Kensington, eleven
miles SOUTH discovery was made yesterday
of horrible murder. Edward Verumiller, a
Belgian laborer, beat his wife She IS now
lying at the point of DEATH Fearing her hus-
band intended to murder her, she dragged
herself to the nearest neighbor, yesterday
afternoon, and related the story that on one
Sunday morning, last October Verumiller
sent her son (his step-son) aged Aen, with a
few dollars to make small purchases. The
boy returned 40 cents short. His brutal step
father thumped, beat and pounded the boy
to death, threatening the mother with death
if she interfered to save her son. The
night after the murder Verumiller took the
kitchen floor up and buried the body. Since
numbering his step-son he has made several
savage attacks on his wife. That of yester-
day will probably result in death, as she was
about to become a mother The body OF
the son was discovered under the floor.
Verumiller is in Jail.
