An Incendiary Fire.

Saturday night, about IL o'clock, the
house of Miss Kelly, corner Of Fourth and
New Jersey avenue, was discovered to be
on fire during the absence of tho owner.
The flames were extinguished by the
neighbors. The fire was discovered in the
bed, and is supposed to kTe been set on
fire, as the owner says she had 1904 hid in
the bed, which, together with considerable
clothing, is missing. Miss Kelly claims
that policeman, whom she met and told
her house was on fire, refused to turn in
the alarm.
Lieutenant Pearson, of the Second Pre-
cinct, reports to Major Dye that en-
deavors were made to ascertain the origin
of the fire at the house of Mrs. Kelly, COR
per of Fourth street and New
Jersey avenue northwest, which oc-
Cured on the night of the 22d
inst, but Mrs. Kelley persstently refused
to give the officers any information. 1t was
learned, however, from the neighbors that
she claimed that her house was burglar
iously entered and fired during her abence,
and that 5000 that she had hid in q bed was
burned. The bed was partially destEoysa..

Justice to q washington Artist.

The cable dispatches announce that five
American artists are to be represented at
the Paris salon, and 1t is source of gratif-
cation, although it was confidently expected
to find the name Of Washingtonian, Mr..
Donoho, among the number.
- 1t is unfortunate, however, that so great
an error should have been made by tho Eu-
ropean correspondents as to announce that
"Mr. Donoho will be represented for the
first time at the salon." AS matter of
fact Mr.. Donoho has been tho recipient of
the highest honors at the hands of the
committee in charge Of tho admission Of
pictures to the salon, whose favorable con-
sideTation is regarded as tho highest in-
dorsement and compliment which picture
can receive.
In 1881 one of Mr.. Donoho's pictures was
admitted to the salon, and both in 1882 and
1883 two pictures from his easel were as
signed prominent positions. Few Ameri-
can artists have exhibited SO many paint
ings at the salon, and those whose privilege
II has been to SEQ the five paintings eXhib-
tied there by Mr.. Donoho in 1881, 1882 and
1883 will most earnestly desire an oppor-
tunity to SEQ his latest triumph, which will
occupy place in the salon of 1881, aud is
regarded by the artists European friends as
his masterpiece.

"Shortly before the election in this

Building Mills to Rust Out.

When the irresponsible Yankee
isn't doing something he is generally
getting ready to do something. The
revised Directory of the Iron and Steel
Works of the United States, Just pub
lished by Secretary Swank, points out
in remarkably clear and explicit
mapner this tendency. Notwithsland-
ing the general stagnation in the iron
and steel trade of the country, the Ca
pacity of production is increasing in a
very marked ratio.
Since July, 1882, the number of
rolling mills and steel works have in
creased from 400 to 434. The an,
nual capacity of rolling mills in finish
ed iron and steel has increased from
100000 tons to 100000. In the
same period the nail machines have in
creased from 4,O3O to 1896. The
number of Bessemer steel works have
increased from Is to 81, the open
hearth steel works from 27 to 50, with
three new ones in course of erection at
present. The annual capacity of the
Opcu ucaitu luIudCeb 10 OOO,OOO tOus,
against 100000 two years ago. There
is an apparent decrease in blast fur
naces, the number having fallen from
6S6 to SIS. The decrease, however, is
only caused by the abandonment of a
number of old and unimportant fur
naces, while the new ones are of such
large capacity that the possible output
has really risen from 100000 tons to
upwards of 100000.
These figures show conclusively that
of all people in the world the Ameri,
cans are hardest to stop when they get
a-going. There has been everything
in the situation of the iron and steel
trade for the past two years to induce
curtailment instead of expansion. En-
forced curtailment there has been in
the actual output, of course, but new
furnaces aud new mills have been
erected just as though it was expected
that the worlds supply of these staples
was soon to depend on American ca
pacity to furnish. 1t would be the
part of common business prudence to
spend no more money building new
works of this kind till there is pros
pect they will be needed. PhilddeI.
