Americans MT n Court.

1t seems that the career of the King of
Wurtemberg's American favorite, Privy
Councillor of Court Won jackson, which
reads almost like a fairy tale, has come to a
sudden close, inasmuch as latest accounts
rom Stuttgart say that he has left that city
and is not likely to return. From being
pupil Of the Conservatory he became
clerk in the American Consulate until about
three years ago King Charles made him
member Of his encourage, gave him the title
Of nobility, fairly overwhelming him with
favors and decorations, and installed him in
a wing Of the palace. His departure is said
TO excite but little surprise. The royal
friendship has been transferred on coun-
tryman of his, Mr., Woodcock, whom the
King is reported to have installed in
sumptuous apartment In the Neclar Strasse.

TO WHOM II MAY CONCERN

And we opine it concerns the major
portion of our people. The great show
man, p. T. Barnum, has said: "The
American people like to be hum
buggcd." We deny that assertion in
so far as the present generation is con-
cerned. We have seen too many gilt
tering humbugs "fold their tents and
silently steal away" Arab like, in the
night time. to doubt the good common
sense of the American people. Old
birds are rarely caught with chafr, and
high.sounding lingo" counts for
nothing nowadays.
We wish to draw your attention this
week to our superb line of Suits and
separate Pantaloons for men and boys.
In our Boys Department we have suits
from SCI up to $lS and in all the in
termediate grades, the difference in
each grade averaging 62ic, thus proving
that we mark our goods at the lowest
possible price. We do not consider
hON hlSu a pllIS lhC puib VIII biiHS,
but HOW LOW WE CAN SELL 1T
AND PAY EXPENSES, and when
you think for moment how small our
expense account is comparatively you
will readily perceive our profits need
not be large
In Mems Suits we have as large a va
riety to show you as you ever saw in
Washington, ranging in price from
$3.50 to S3S, and in every style, includ-
ing Single and Double breasted Sacks,
Getaways, Prince Alberts, Pea Jackets
and Norfolks. In Separate Pants we
have everything worth keeping, We
can fit a child 4 years of age and man
weighing $50 pounds. The same uni
form low price for fine goods govern
all our departments. OF course we
keep Overcoats for the large and
small, young and old; but of them

on leaving the street, as so many of them
do, but invented beehive and started to
take orders. There was something very
queer about that hive. Within thirty days
after farmer had signed an order for one
or more hives, at SO each, he would receive
notice from the nearest bank that 1t held his
note for $50, the same having been discount

eyes some little time to catch on, but the

The Anti Chinese sentiment.

For yelling "Look at the Chinaman," a
little colored boy named Benjamin Griffin
was arrested in Georgetown yesterday on
complaint Of Major Rittenhouse of the
Soldiers Home. The Major said that a
carriage containing Chinaman, dressed in
the costume Of his country, who was ap-
parently member of the Chinese Legation,
was passing Washington street and Dunbar

and hooted at the foreigner,
"Public opinion is responsible for the acts

When the East Tennessee, Virginia e

day morning an interesting group stepped
from the sleeper, 1t consisted of gentle
man, his wife and valet. The couple were Mr.
and Mrs. Cain Of New York city, who are
reported to be worth $7,0O0,000 TO $l0000,-
600. Mr.. Cain looked very modest and
seemed to know the value OF penny, but
his wife was fairly ablaze with the most
magnificent diamonds. From each ear
dangled an immense solitaire stone, each
worth 1900 Her fingers were gorgeously
bedazzling, and a brooch at the neck
seemed to contain the liquid fires Of 10000
furnaces. A gentleman who travelled with
the couple says the lady wore diamonds
valued at so, 900 to $4,000. The valet was
a study. lie was fresh importation from
England, a cockney, and he followed be-
hind his master with the pompous air of
a sovereign, dangling q little cane and
pulling at fine imported Havana, The

We are really afraid the Burlington Free
Press is losing its mind. A month ago il
stupidity attributed Mr.. Ropes's valedctory
in the Waterman to Mr.. Dixon, the incom.
ing editor, and this week it quotes our last
weeks paragraph on the proper attitude of
the Republican Senators toward Mr.. Cleve-
lands removals and calmly credits it to the
Reformer as "a just and sensible article"
showing true independence. We hope the
Reformer feels duly complimented, but if it
takes the other view of it we extend our sym
pathy. Our own consolation we find in the
thought that "a rose by any other name
would smell az sweet"
This morning the Springfield Republican,
always on the lookout for independent"
gems, copies the little paragraph from the
Free Press and credits it 10 our able and Sin
dependent neighbor. We regret having got
into bad company through no fault of our

Thirty.two Republican rascals turned out
and an equal number Of virtuous, non parti-
san o. Democrats put in their places in one
weeks time in the small state of Vermont is
pretty good record. At this rate the civil
service of the state will be thoroughly purged
and purified by the time snow flies. Accord
ing to the Boston Advertiser, a reliable Mug
wump authority, Col Stevenson, the new
First Assistant Postmaster. General, has got
his machine to working at the rate of lone
every six minutes" He promises record of
$500 postmasters removed in August, and
says the rate will be increased "when the
weather becomes COOL" The New York Sun,
which chooses to sneer and grin at civil. ser
vice reform, quotes this statement approving
ly, and adds with fine sarcasm that "Ten
postmasters an hour doesn't seem a very high
rate, but it is 100 day, 600 week, 81, 200
year, and there will be mighty few Repub-
lican postmRsters left to turn out in 1887 if
Mr.. Stevenson's machine is kept in good or
der" The only thing about It all worth re-
marking upon is the fact that this work is be-
ing done under President who promised in
his inaugural to see civilseryice-reform en-
forced "in good faith"

GLondon cable special 10 New York sun, August 16l
The marriage OF Lord Chief Justice Cole
ridge, which took place yesterday, has GREAT
cd tremendous social sensation. The bride,
whom his Lordship met on board the steamer
while returning home from his American
tour two years ago, is described as being a
decided brunette, about 30 years OF age, with
graceful carriage, a slender though perfectly
moulded figure and aquiline features Her
fascinating and vivscous manners 30 charm
ed the leading dispenser Of British justice
that during the voyage he danced almost
continual attendance upon her. After his
arrival in London, however, the aged lovers
ardor cooled rapidly, and in q short time the
thermometer of his affection registered a very
low temperature. 1t was at this stage OF the
proceedings that the lady's mother came TO
the front. She reminded his Lordship Of the
fervor Of his love-making on board the steam
or the tender and love.laden sentences ad-
dressed by him to her daughter while under
the influence OF her smiles we're brought
back to his recollection verbatim, together
with many other circumstances connected
with the brief wooing which might have
certain degree OF influence upon jury. The
austere jurist, whose very glance has often
silenced the voices Of eminent advocates and
filled with terror the hearts Of culprits, was
powerless 10 dislodge the match making
mother from her position, and finally, being
confronted with the alternative Of an action
for breeoh Of promise, he yielded, stipuls-
ting, however, that the marriage should take
place secretly. That stipulation being
very unimportant detail in the estimation of
the lady, it was readily assented to. A Ii.
cense was obtained, and yesterday in the
back parlor of the brides house, Miss Amy Au-
gusta Lawford became Lady Ooleridge, wife
of the highest Judicial officer in England
Two clergymen from St. Mary Abbots Church,
Kensington, oficiated at the ceremony. The
wedding breakfast was served in q room
adjoining the one in which the marriage oc-
CURED, and the couple left on the O'Clock
train for Petersfeld where they occupied
rooms at the Dolphin Hotel. Lord Cole
ridges arrangements 10 preserve secrecy in
his own household were elaborate and sue
cessful. Every member OF his family was
ignorant Of the marriage. Lord Coleridges
wife is not an American, as has been report
cd, but an English woman. She has travelled
extensively in America. She Is the daughter

Death Of ex-governor Converse.

The death is announced of ex-Gov julius
Converse, which took place at Dixville Notch,
last Sunday evening. His age was SO years.
He was native of Connecticut, but spent his
active life in Woodstock, being for some fifty
years prominent member of the Windsor
county bar. He was States Attorney of the
county in 1874 6, represented Woodstock in
the legislature in 1919, and was elected to
three terms in the state senate. He was Lieu.
tenant Governor in 1850 and 1851, and was
Governor of the state during the biennial
term beginning October, 1872. During the
latter part of his term as Governor he mar
ried a Miss Martin OF Colebrook, N. H., who
was some forty years younger than himself.
One child was the issue of this marriage, and
his widow and child survive him. He had
for several years been very feeble both in
mind and body and had resided at DiIville
Notch with a brother n-aw. When in his
prime he was a man of ability, an excellent
lawyer, and a citizen held in universal re-
speot.
