MR COMPTON, from the committee on
the District Of Columbia IN the House OF
Representatives, has reported back bid
to prohibit pool ceiling 10 the cities Of
Washington and Georgftown, The hlll Is
not at all satisfactory because It does nOs
90 far enough, The prohibition should be
Of pool selling 10 the DlslrIc- Of Columbia,
except at Ivy Ciy during the times when
races are being mlu there, II tue measure
which Mr., COMPTON recommeuls becomes
law, the pool sellers can 90 outside the
city limits anywhere and sell po1ls the year
round, That I, uot what Is desired, Pool
selling should be prohibited absolutely in
the District, with the single exception OF
the week or ten days IN the sprIog and fall,
when the races are In progress at Ivy City,
then the selling should be confined to the
race grounds. There should be no more
such scenes as were enacted here last year,
when boys and men Of all kinds and colors
were inyiegled into pool rooms and robbed
OF their own aud their employers moneys.
Mr., Compton should withdraw his report,
amend the bill, upon the suggestion now
made, and insist upon Its passage.

Tn English commissioners and the Amer
lean conferees nave agreed upon treaty
settling the questions at dispute between
this country and the Dominion as to the
fishing off the coasts OF the Dominion. The
provisions of the treaty are merely matters
Of conjecture, but it is unfortunate that, no
matter how favorable the treaty may be %
American interests, 1t will have to overcome
some strong preIudces in the Senate as to
the methods of It's adoption. Congress
twice refused to agree to the appointment
Of a commission TO consider the questions
in dispute, and put into the hands Of the
administration what 1t considered a proper
remedy for the outrageous and inhuman
conduct Of the Dominion authorities-that
was, the power to retallate. Thercason for
this action was that Congress thought 1t
beneath the dignity OF the nation to enter
into any negotiations on the subject until
some reparatlon was made, or at least tea
dered, for the Outrages committed. The
administration, however, thought differ
emily, and a commission was appointed.
The Senate, for the same reason that male
1t refuse to agree to a commission, may re.
fuse 10 consider the treaty prepared by one,

A New Rival of Herr Most.

HtN hOIk cUN.
An ex-member of the German
parliament, who eight years ago was
exiled from the fatherland, has just
opened a beer saloon in this city
Herr William Hasselmann was for
merly student of chemistry in Got
tingen. and, after taking his degree,
was elected to the German Reichstag,
where he served six years. His poll
teal tenets were such as to bring upon
him the antipathy of Prince Bismarck,
which resulted at last in his being
exiled from Berlin. Shortly after this
sentence was passed on him several
letters written to London were inter
cepted and opened by the police, and
on the grounds OF their contents a
charge of high treason was made
against him. To evade the conse-
quences OF this he let the country for
America. Here he has made repu-
tation for himself as a radical Anarch-
ist and revolutionist. A speech that
he made in this city denouneing the
German government was reported to
the German minister, and a second
charge of treason was lodged against
him. At one time ugly rumors con-
corning his connection with Herr
Most were afloat, and his skill as a
chemist caused many to ascribe to
him the manufacture OF bombs. He
denies all these rumors. and saws they
are mere talk, and that he never manu-
featured any bombs in his life. He
has now his papers as citizen OF the
United States, and says that next
summer he will perhaps go over to
Europe again under the protection of
his American citizenship. He is said
TO be very intelligent man, and he
has very red whiskers.

Doing mp tho Hair.

view I otk lttltf.
Dressing the hair in a becoming
manner has much 10 do with the set
ting OIL OF a costume; all to do with
the attractiveness OF any cast OF fea-
lures and few there be so diyineIy fair
that an artistic ooitfure may be ig-
nored, and fewer still so plain that
their appearance may not be greatly
improved by tasteful adjustment OF
the hair. In fact, too much can
scarcely be said against indifference 10
the care and arrangement OF the hair,
or enough in favor of its preservation
and a proper form OF dressing 1t.
All the prevailing styles tend toward
raising the hair in queenly fashion
10 the crown OF the head, while there
Is considerable variety in the coils
which compose the back coiffure, but
all droop in graceful way 10 the neck,
without, however, touching or inter
fering with the collar or lace trim
ming OF the dress, and may be worn
with any shape OF hat OF bonnet. The
front or bang is usually of loose rings
or curls. which may be either OF the
wearer's own hair OF furnished BY the
hair-dresser, The ornaments OF the
present season are fancy she'll pins
and combs.

THE ENGLISH NAVY.
New York world

New York World.
Three British admirals testify in the
November FortaiQktly that England's
reputed supremacy on the ocean now
rests upon tradition and not upon
fighting power. France possesses a
more effective navy. Admiral Sir
Thomas Symonds shows from official
statements that OF really efficient
modern fighting ships" the British
have only II, three Of which are
armed with obsolete rauzzle-loading
guns, while the Freaeh have 25, and
eight splendid gunboats. The COM
parison as to inferior vessels is OF less
importance, but even in these the
English possess no advantage.
The British battle-ships ARE armor-
ed on only e part OF the length of
their water-line, while in the French
the armor is continuous from end TO
end" The French have modern guns
throughout-not so the British. With
the latter, facilities for building and
repairing are deficient. Docks are
everywhere wanting The French
now have actually 5000 more dock
yard workmen than the British and
a more fully manned navy in every re-
spect.
These rather surprising statements
are Endorsed by Admirals Sir G.
PhippS Hornby and Lord Alcester.
And all three distinguished aaihori-
ties unite in asserting that in view of
the geographical distribution and
commercial interests of the Britiah
empire, its navy, in order Ito dis
charge its duties in a war alone,
should be almost three times as strong
as il is at present"
The presentation of the situation is
sustained by strong arguments. More
than half the food supply and more
than half the raw material to keep
the factories going in England depend
upon her ocean-going commerce. The
safety of this is vital 10 her. There is
no other nation in the world SO
situated. There would certainly ap-
pear good reason for the sounding OF
this note of warning and the attend
ant demand for placing the navy
upon q better. footing. 1t is to be
noted that on Saturday the British
cabinet approved the plan of building
eight first-class men-of-war, 20 swift
cruisers and number iof torpedo
boats

What won't some girls do for the

One spirited maiden rushed in on US

didn't know, and the following con-
yersatiou ensued:

one, and now | mean to have it. You
just wait till you see me with a
rayishing dimple in my left cheek !

about it myself"
"Yes, but what

covered little way down the avenue
a doctor who makes dimples, and this
is the way he does il. He just cuts
into the skin aud takes out a little
piece Of flesh, leaving a hole big
enough for dimple See? Then he

agant; but she would have none OF
our advice. As ii turned out the dim
pie proved better than our fears,
though not equaling the young lady's

good authority, that the dimple trade
has been, and is in many places very
successful. What phase of vanity

Amber nrnnmen,..

Amber ornaments are coming into
fashion, and 10 brunettes are especially
becoming. This fashion Is simply u
revival. for even ~ far back as the
day Of Nero the Roman women were
fond Of decking themselves with am.
Der ornaments.
The origin Of amber Is unknown.
That Is was once 10 huid state IL
inferred from the fact Of insects being
found imbedded In II. The ancients
called Il eleetrcn, on account OF its
electric qualities, for when rubbed IL
has the property of attracting Light
bodies.
Amber Is found on the south coast
OF the Baltic, on the eastern shores OF
England, and on those Of Sicily and
the Adriatie. The principal mines are
in Prussia.
When made into ornaments il is
first split on q leadcn pla'e and then
turned on peculiar style Of whet-
stone. The polishing j. done xith
chalk and oil. or chalk and water. aad
finished Off by rubbing with n clean
flannel. Sometimes it takes fire dur
ing the operation.
The most valuable amber Is the
dark, nearly opaque yellow, and the
least is the bright yellow. Amber or
nsments can be had at the following
prices; Combs from 81 TO 81, and even
higher; beads, by the string, Is cents
and upward; hairplns, Is cents and
