EVENING SCENES IN WASHINGTON.

One of the pleasant features of life in the
West End, these charming days, is tina Gus
tom so prevalent of sitting about the front
balconies and steps in the evenings. 1t
gives the houses such O homelike look, tells
who are still in town and attracts the casual
passer-by as nothing else could. In the
neighborhood of Seventeenth, III and
streets, where nearly every house represents
household of leading lights in the social
world, all the families who remain in town
late are given to these sociable gatherings
about their front doors. Gen. and Mrs.
Sheridan are fond of the breezy bay window
Of the parlor at the handsome residence near
Scott Circle, and sit there in the evenings
almost embowered in rose and wistera
bloom. just across from them Mrs Blaine
and her daughters make q striking group on
the broad front steps of their house. The
old ladies at the Louise Home unconsciously
form quaint pictures as they sit and chat in
their garden, in wonderful contrast to the
pretty scenes transpiring in Mrs. Myers
garden on street, whore dozens of charm.
ing young ladies and their escorts meet to
play lawn tennis under the trees. At Secre.
tary Bayard's, on Massachusetts avenue, his
daughters enjoy the wide portico that shades
the pretty living rooms from the street, and
they sit out there entertaining their friends
In regular country fashion. Most Of the
foreigners spend their afternoons either at
lawn tennis meets or driving, and are rarely
seen copying the summer fashion of sitting
about the front doors.

A FIRST VISIT TO THE TROPICS.

What delight is the first visit to tropi
cal town-the first sensations Of a balmy
atmosphere born of continued trade-wind,
the characteristic /" trade" that moves SC
quietly during the winter season In this
semi-tropical region, and is SO tempered as
nimbly and sweetly to recommend itself
unto our gentle senses. We wildly
remember the delights and indescribable
sensations of our first visit with the rigors
of New England winter air but just shaken
off. A full moon was just visible over the
feathery tops of innumerable cocoa-palms
as we landed, and tina mellow light sparkled
sxquistely on their leaflets their sharp
outlines, too, against the sky, with the pre-
vading odor of lime, lemon, and jessamine,
told a radical change of scene. Still more,
of the entrance to our friends grounds were
these wondrously new sensations and as
poets increased enhanced by more charac.
teristic odors and forms of foliage. The all
was redolent with jessamine, and, above all
the verandas revealed the delicate lawn:
and linens of summer costumes, and O pc.
euliar and captivating hospitality heightene;
the enjoyment of this our first experience OF
!he tropics. To the present visitor, the
shen inevitable Venus in parti-colored tur
ban, passing the delicate, refreshing cocoa.
nut water and curacao, and the grateful ser
vices of Cato, with fan in hand, are things
of the past.

like to wager IS on that, and the terms

drummer should go to his room and lay the

Next day, at the same hour, committee

ONE OF cLEvELANp,s pARDons.

There is pretty little story told of Gro
yer Cleveland's last summer ut q resort In
the Adirondacks. At the hotel where he
was stopping the gentlemen were very fond
Of sporting and also of young venison. One
day when they were out on the lake in o
boat a little fawn ran down into the water,
and they were able, by getting in its rear,
to finally catch il alive and drag II into the
boat. After they had done SO it again es-
capped them and got into the water. But
they recaught it and brought it, dripping
and frightened, to the hotel. Here they
announced their intention of killing ID for
the table. The ladies', however, who were
delighted with it, made a strong petition
for its release. There was much discussion
and IL was finally decided that it should b.
tried for Its life before one OF the party,
who should act as judge. This was done
md the speeches were made. But the Judge
lound the fawn guilty of death and the
sentence was passed. The ladies still
pleaded, and 1t was finally decided to let
the Governor decide whether 1t should be
pardoned or not. He promptly granted its
pardon, much to the disgust of the hunters,
and the little thing bounded away.-Ow

BLOOD UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.
An Interesting Comparison Made In Chi.
cago Murder Case.

The only instance on record when the
blood of two persons was compared in
criminal trial." said DR.. Piper yesterday,
" was in murder case in Chicago. The
comparison settled the innocence of the wo-
man ON trial for her life. comely woman,
with 800, 900, married man in Chicago,
and placed her snug little fortune in his
business. In the course of time he began
to abuse her, and finally she decided to ap.
ply for divorce. The double calamity Of
losing woman to beat and withdrawal OF
her 100000 from his business made the
brute furious, and the next morning he was
found dead in one corner of his bed cham

His wife was found wounded in another
part of the room. She said that her hus.

in bed that he hit her ON the head With
the butt of his revolver while her head was
on the pillow, and spattered blood over the
linen; that she jumped up, and he shot her,
indicting slight flesh wound in her side
She then rushed at him, and, snatching the
revolver from him, shot him through the

was found and died. The prosecution did
not believe her story, and set up the theory
that she shot him when he was asleep, and
dragged him to the corner, and then infict

The dead man lay was saturated with blood.
According to the theory of the prosecution,
the blood on the pillow was his also. put
the section of the pillow with blood upon 1t

about two thousand diameters. I then put

was wonderful. The oorpusclss on the pill.

were beautiful. The corpuscles on the car.
pet were large and disfgured, the result of
disease. The comparison settled that ques-
ton at once. The blood corpuscles were as
different as day and night, and sustained
the woman's account of the shooting. She
was acquitted on that and other evidence.

Mi.sook Them for the Band.

A friend sends us bit of pleasantly al
he expense of the gentlemen who served
IN Gov. Cleveland's staff in the Summer Of
1888. 1t has been in print before, but will
bear repetition. When Gov. Cleveland Wis
tied the State Camp at Newburg in 1883 he
was attended by his staff in full rig. II
was one of the few opportunities the Gov
ernor's military family had enjoyed Of np-
pearing together in public in full uniform,
and they presented very handsome and
even brilliant appearance. The Governor
led the way through the private entrance to
the camp closely followed by his secretary,
Col. Lamont To the astonishment Of the
,taff the gate was then quickly closed and
locked. As may be imagined disgust sue
ceeded surprise when in reply to vigor-
GUS circumstances the gatekeeper blandly
remarked: "It's accordin' to orders, gen.
tlemen. This Is the Governors entrance.

Can't complain. In fact, we have been

"Have you had many sensational cases

Oh, we've had our share of that class,
but of late the services of our operatives
have been frequently called into requisition

By keeping strict surveillance over
every movement of the man that is suspect

prominent business men of the city asking
us to watch certain of their employees. A
detective dogs their footsteps; finds out ex-
actly who they associate with; whether
they spend their leizure hours at home OF
in good company, or prefer to play at bill
liards, drink wine, gamble, or run with dis
reputable women. Hundreds of men in this
town are under this kind of espionage who
would be terribly startled and in many in.
