George Nau and his brother William,
stone cutters from Littlestown, were
here last Friday doing work. On their
way home they were overtakcn by Il
storm, near Piney Creek, this county.
A flash of lightning struck in their
midst, knocking George backwards and
rendering him insensib!e for some time.
Blood gushed from his mouth, nose,
ears and eyes. There was mark
down his right side. His hat was torn
into shreds. William escaped, having
his feet badly burned. The horse was
knocked down and every shoe was torn
from his feet, and has since died. The
latest reports we have had were that

Washington Letter.
From Our REGULAR CORRESPONDENT,
Washington, July 6, 1885.

Washington, July 6, 1886
President Cleveland has kept very
closely at work at his desk during the
past week, and has spent almost no
time at all at his country place. lie
has been out but little in his carriage,
and beyond going to the opera Friday
evening has had hardly any recreation.
Both he and Mrs. Cleveland enjoyed
the performance. The President is
really fond of music and will probably
be seen often at the theatre hereafter
with his young wife. His complete
abstinence from going last year was no
doubt the result of his consciousness
that lie would have a. better excuse
later on.
1t is reported that we are to have a
new sensation II society next winter,
and that professional beauties will
be all the rage. There has never been
such thing in this country, although
the United States has furnished mater
ial to stimulate the craze in England,
and do not see why We shouldn't 90
frantic over our pretty girls as well as
the Englishmen. When Mrs. Lanotrv
came over with her reputation there
was not IL town she visited that could
not produce dozen or more women
that threw her charms into eclipse, and
some Of them are coming to Washing
ton next winter. 1t is the President s
wife who is unconscously the cause Of
the proposed innovation, and her beau
ty has inspired spirit of rivalry among
the people who think they know wom-
en- as pretty as she.
A comparison Of the condition of the
Treasury now and last year at this
time shows that the debt proper was
decreased during the fiscal year by
fi4 ,6l2,2SG. The cash in the Treas
urv was increased in the same period
sol ,385 ,479. The gold and gold bullion
in the Treasury have been increased
during the year $50, io4 ,853, The sill
yer dollars, Of which under the law
over two million and half have been
coined monthly during the year, and
the silver bullion on hand has increas-
ed during the year $2o, 30S, 466. The
silver dollars actually in circulation
are thirteen millions more now than
at this time last year. 1t may be add7
ed that these thirteen million of silver
dollars have by that much increased
the total amount of circulating medi-
um, because the one and two dollar
greeubacks withdrawn have been al
most exactly replaced by the issue Of
IS notes.
The Department clerks who feared a
general dismissal all along the line
have had respite. Although there
will undoubtedly be number Of dis
charges if the annual appropriation
bills pass the Senate az they came from
the House. the reductions made in the
Departments in this District will not

The ENGLISH Elections.

The latest advices point to q crush
ing defeat for Gladstone in the parlia-
mentary elections now in progress
We have expressed all along our belief
that the Liberal party, strong as it was,
would be crushed if it attempted to
father Home Rule in Ireland and the
correctness Of our views is now being
demonstrated. Home Rule is not for
Ireland yet.

Devoe, the New Jersey weather
prophet, predicted that June would be
cool and rainy, and his predictions
were verified. 1t was cloudy and
rainy more than half of the month,
and the weather was generally cool.
Thick clothing was a necessity during
most of the month, fires were occasion
ally comfortable, and overcoats were
worn occasionally in the evenings. For
July, Devoe predicted thunder showers
for the lst, cool weather on the End.
Cold rains are predicted for the 5th,
and the weather is to be cool until the
10th, after which it will grow hot.
About the 18th, says Devoc, there will
be heavy thunder showers throughout
the United States, with tornadoes in
Michigan and Georgia. IN July there
are to be two cold northeast storms,
one between the 5th and Sth and the
other between the Nth and 10th.

All examinations are made with the opthal.

doctor cuts, grnds and adjusts them for each
person, thus lnsuring perfect vision, ease

PASTRY WITHOUT BUTTER.

The American pie has been subjected to
more unjust abuse from foreign writers
than any other of our distinctive products,
if we expect the recent TRADE against the
American hog. And yet we cannot say
that it has been altogether undeserved, be-
cause of the villainous compound, thick,
hard, and heavy, that is too often made to
do duty as a "crust," and which by
courtesy is called pastry" Light, tender,
faky, and digestible pie-crust and all kinds
of pastry can be made most readily by the
use of Royal Baking Powder without any
butter, or with half the usual portion, if
preferred, or with a small quantity of
lard or other shortening as desired. Pie.
crust thus made is much more wholesome
and digestible, besides being more econo-
mical and easier prepared. In addition
to saving all the butter if desired. one
third the flour is also dispensed with, as
the crust is rolled that much thinner, the
leavening qualities of the Royal Baking
Powder swelling it to the requisite thick
ness. If drippings or lard be used the
Royal Baking Powder removes any I'M
pleasant taste, rendering the crust as short
sweet and pleasant as if made from the
finest butter. Those who know the APP
petizing qualities of the genuine home
made American pie will rejoice that by the
aid of Royal Baking Powder in the pastry
it can be made quite as digestible as it il
| delicious.

preston of naturalness that deceived
many visitors. The boundary lines OF
