which usually begin to close up or
largely curtail their business about

pie, and their Hobbies are about the
busiest places in the city, At the De-

Washington Monument damaged.

WASHINGTON, June cit has been
discovered that the top of the Wash
ington Monument was struck bylight-
ming during a storm on Friday last.
The cap-stone below on the northeast
corner are cracked for distance Of over
four feet. The fracturei is less than an
inch in width, but it will probably
necessitate the removal and rebuild
ing of the entire top. The joints on
the slanting top are protected from
the weather by phosphore bronze.
This metal was not connected with the
light-rod that serves as q conductor to
the aluminium tip, and the lightning
which struck could find no escape
to the ground except along the wet
stones. An electrical scientist from
Baltimore will make an examination
of the monument to report what addi-
tional protection is needed.

The New Judge.

Capt II. H. Taylor, as special Judge
for the present term of Circuit Court,
was duly sworn in yesterday morning
to fill Judge Rodgers place, who has
been called to Nashville on business.
This high mark of esteem and conf

members of the bar will be very graft

WASHINGTON, June S.--Some OF the
Iowa editors to-day called upon the
President. There were ladies in the
party and as one Of these was intro
duced to the President she suddenly
bowed low over his extended hand and
kissed it. She was buxom Iowa
matron and a red-hot Democrat. The
President was so embarrassed that he
omitted to ask her if her husband was

gray-fnng off so rapidly that she soon became
quite bald. One bottle Of HALLS HAIR RE-

thick as when she was n girl.

dents render 1t in the highest degree benc-

EFFECTS OF THE PRINCES VISIT

ETFECIO UT IHE IhINCbO FfNlI'
The visit of the Prince of Wales to Ireland
has ended, he and the Princess having returned
to London yesterday. The progress Of the royal
party has not been altogether free from un-
pleasantness. The Nationalist did not succeed
in creating disturbances anywhere while the
Prince was present, owing to the vigilance OF
tho police; but there were several petty riots
directly due TO hostile feeling reused by the
visit. In attempting to estimate the effects OF
this experiment it must be realized that IL
political considerations account for the presence
of the Prince in Ireland the same kind OF influ-
ences may be traced in the action OF the Nation
alists. IL cannot in fact be said with accuracy
that the demonstrations of tho latter were
spontaneous. On tho contrary, they were
plainly the result of arrangement; being really
as part isan in spirit and method as campaign pro-
ceSSions.
There was, indeed, something quite Irish
about this. The Nationalist leaders were fear
full that the tranquil progress of the Prince
would discredit their position in Parliament;
so they passed the word to get up disturbances.
Except Tor the activity of the police it cannot
be doubted that these disturbances would have
been much more serious but it is evident that
they cannot De cllcu us pIONl"E 'ho "''"i'
temper of the Irish people Taking into full
account the effect of police repression, however,
it seems safe to conclude that the reception ac-
corded to the Prince and Princess was more
cordial than was to have been anticipated; and
that it justiics some expectation OF better
understanding in the future. Perhaps the
augurics dcrivable from it are at the best dim
and uncertain. 1t is probably negative
success only. But even so it was worth achiev-
ing. and it has mt least put an end to the extrav-
ngant apprehcnsions of those who declared that
the Princes life would not ho safe an hour in
ireland. OF course much more than royal
visit is needed to pacify Ireland, but the out
como of this ono shows that the Irish people are
not insusccptible to the attentions which Affect
society powerfully elsewhere.
