A BROKERS' OFFICE CLOSED.


The brokerage Office of Robert Bruce,
situated in Wizards hotel, was closed ycstcr-
day morning But few people Interested were
taken by surprise, as Mr.. Bruce's absence In
Chicago where he has been since the early
part Of this month, was generally understood
to be caused by financial embarrassment ON
Saturday kilograms were received from him
stating that he would do tpc best he could for
all, but containing no intimation rs to when
he would return, or information as'to what
the best he was doing consisted Of.
Mr. Bruce came here about last October, and
took rooms ut Wizards, opening negotiations
ut the same time for a portion of the reading
room to use brokers' Office. He finally fitted
ZIP n corner of the room In handsome style,
and had an elaborate display of blackboard
surface along one of the walls upon which TO
display quotations OF oil, grain, and stocks: 4
telegraph instrument connected with the Bal
timore and Ohio office was also part of the
outfit Mt first, n change being subsequently,
made to the Bankers and Merchants wires
lie received his quotations Mt frequent
intervals from tho former Office, and
used his direct wire Ito the main Office
here to give orders to his correspondents in
Chicago to purchase wheat, grain, oil, or
stocks, whichever his customers wished to 'in-
vest " Ill.
Claims that were sent here for collection
from New York where Bruce conducted bust
ness before coming here, including one for
$500 from Steve French, caused those who
were coynizant of the fact to view his
business with suspicion, ana the TACT thnt
ordinary creditors have been persistently but
fruitessly dunning him for some time, caused
his business to fall off to merely nominal
amount. In the meantime he has been. lavish
in his personal expenditures, aud, being OF
good presence, managed TO keep his credit up
to the day of his departure His absence Mt
the republican convention caused furry of
excitement. but he returned and Indignantly
denied that there was anything wrong In his
affairs The amount of his indebtedness upon
ordinary business and ..privatc debts Is said, TO
be from 81, 900 to $4,000, the sufferers including
all classes of business men from hotel pro-
prctor to his tailor.
Whatever losses may have been suffered by
investors they are keeping quiet about It,. Mr..
A. B Mason, his late boOkkeepcr, stated yes
terday that he expected MIR. Bunce TO return
shortly. The situation at the office, which had
resumed its previous occupation rs n simple
reading room. was quiet, the absence OF the
telegraph instrument making the silence
seem oppressive. There were no applications
on the part of former investors, nor did any
fresh ones turn up. The only interested visitor

LEWIS IN WASHINGTON.


Mr.. George II. Lcyls,who is probably remcm.
bered by some Of the departments clerks, in
various amounts, was in the city Friday last,
and was seen in the state department. One of
the clerks, who had been swindled, met Mr..
Lewis and threatened to exterminatc him If the
latter did not return $500 which the clerk had
put into Mr. Levis's little scheme. Mr.. Lewis
promised the clcrk that he would pay the mo-
ney IN an hour, and requested the clerk to
meet him ut the same place In that time. He
told the clerk that he was going to lead an hon.
est life and had come back to struighten out
his accounts. Mr.. Lewis went away, aud the
clerk came down town and secured the ser
vices of u private detective. He returned to
the trysting place and awaited the return OF
Mr. Lewis. The place of appointment was in
the second floor corridor, and the detective
was concealed behind all ice box. Noon came,
but Mr.. Lewis did not, and when the depart
ment closed at ! o'clock and Mr.. Lewis did not
appear, the detective remarked that he
guessed that he would not come.
1t Is said that Mr.. Lewis had some business
TO transact for "a man" in the department.
Since he was seen by the clerk Mr.. Lewis has
kept to himself and the still hunt which the
clerk has been making for the past few days
has not met with satisfactory results.

BOGUS BUTTER seems to be the
sole and the genuine product of the
dairy the rare exception. The State
chemist of New York says that he
recently bought thirty pounds of
alleged butter from as many differ
ent dealers in the article, one from
each, and submitted his purchases
to analysis. He found only ten
pounds Of pure butter in the lot. The
other twenty pounds were mixtures
containing more lard than butter.
One Of the samp Piles contained Is per
cent. Of lard. 1t might prove inter-
esting were chemist to indulge in
a similar experiment in this city.
The percentage of the bogus article
would hardly be as large as in New
York, but it would be large enough
to sicken a good many housewives
who are innccently eating oIeo-
unde, the impression that

We admire the business man who

ton to come out successful in the
end. Many enterprises might be
mentioned that were begun right
here, but which, owing to this ex=
cessive eagerness on the part of the
projectors have failed. We build
our hopes too high, and the newt
able consequences is disappointment.
Even the wisest statesmen, after

all cases fall much short in their

can ever bring about such a condi-
ton.
An ambition to make a success of
