A Girl's Toilet Articles.

From the New York Star.
A sensible girl will not keep lot of cosmet-
les and drugs on her toilet table, but there are
a few articles which she should always have in
a convenient place. She should have an ar ,ay
of glass stopped bottles containing alcohol,
alum, camphor, borax, ammonia and glycerine
or vaseline. little camphor and water may
be used as wash for the mouth and throat if
the breath is not sweet Powdered alum ap-
piled to fever sore viii prevent it from be-
coming very unsightly and noticeable. Insect
stings or eruptions on the skin are removed by
alcohol. A few grains Of alum in tepid water
will relieve people whose hands perspire very
freely, rendering them unpleasantly moist. A
few drops of sulphuric acid in the water are
also beneficial for this purpose, and are also
desirable for those whose feet perspire freely.
We should always recommend care in the use
Of scented soap; in many cases the perfume is
simply disguise for poor quality. good
glycerine or honey soap is always preferable.
OF course, one may rely on scented soap
from high class manufacturer, but it costs
more than it is worth. In addition to the soap
for bathing, white CASTLE should be kept for
washing the hair. Occasionally little borax
or ammonia may be used for this purpose, but
it is usually to harsh in its effects.

Why She Does Not Ride.
| A SACRIFICE MRS. CLEVELAND rs SAID TO MAXI
TO THE PRESIDENTS WISHES.

A SACRIFICE MRS. CLEVELAND rs SAID TO nAKH
TO THE PRESIDENTS WISHES.
An article ON .'Riding in Washington" in the
Cosmopolitan says: THE resolution Of the
President not to encourage by example as well
as by precept the sport TO which the national
capital is so madly devoted, has been the cause
of no little secret grief to them. Some Of the
less democratic of the court circle Of the re-
public feel that the chief executive. like the
Prince Of Wales, should be a social leader, the
active and foremost patron Of all those pleasant
but futile schemes to make life one glorious
holiday. Hard to bear as has been his refusal
to imperil the affairs Of state by risking his
neck on the unstable back of o feet-footed
steed. they have refused to be consoled for
Mrs. Cleveland's abstinence from riding. Her
friends have importuned her with persistence
worthy of the cause that they have at heart TO
join their tanbark tournaments and their simu-
lated fox hunts; they have pictured TO her the
pleasure and exhilaration Of these divine
sports; but TO the entreating words and smiles
of ladies and the gracious and eloquent speech
of men, she has been unyielding. Whether
this apparent obstinancy, 30 charming that il
ought to have finer and more fit name, has
been due to dislike of riding or Difference to
her husbands wishes, it were idle perhaps
to speculate. Still / can not refrain from
mentioning the fact that there was time in
onerous duties of the first lady Of the land,
when she was rather fond Of riding. Nor must
l fail to mention also how q young statesman
who, though not so eloquent as Webster or
Clay, can ride better than either. once called at
the White House with the gentlest and most
comely of animals TO invite her TO ride; how,
like Agrippa, she was ''almost persuaded" TO
accept the invitation; how the President, with
sweet and gentle firmness. interposed q veto;
how the young wife, mindful Of her oath 70
obey her husband, yielded to his wisdom and
will; how the young statesman, unreconciled 10
his disappointment by the profusion Of thanks
with which his kindness and courtesy were
warded, rode away with heavy heart to seek
another companion. In spite of this reluctance
to ride herself, Mrs. Cleveland has attended
many Of the entertainments given at the riding
academy. and the success and brilliancy of the
drag hunts and paper chases have been due to
q degree TO her warm encouragement and slim
ulating presence. III she has decided, il 10
claimed, to renew her acquaintance with the
saddle this autumn, nothing except q similar
resolution on the Presidents part will be want
ting to give equestrianism in Washington the
perfect official and social standing that il does
not now quite possess.

MARIE WrrHERREr,s sur FOR L1nE1.-I

MARIE WITHERBEE's SUIT FOR LIBEL.-The
suit of Marie A. Witherbee against the New
York Herald for alleged libel came up on pre-
liminary motion in New York yesterday before
Judge Lawrence in supreme court, chambers.
The alleged libel was published in the Herald
of January 9, 1888, and came in the form of a
telgraphic dispatch from Chicago, Ill. The
complainant claims $4,000 damages. Coun-
sci for the defense moved to strike out GER
tain innuendoes in the complaint and for
the plaintiff to furnish a bill of particulars
of the alleged special damages. Plaintiffs
counsel offered to strike out from the
complaint the alleged special damages
The dispatch asserted that A. Scott Witherbee
was about to file bill of divorce against the
plaintiff, and mentioned the allegations in his
bill, among which was that. like Mana. she was
insatiate. Counsel for the defense, in his argu-
ment, pointed out the defects of the complaint
remarking among other things that jury
could not be presumed to know who Mana was,
adding that she was the creation of French
author named lola, whose work a London
publisher had been punished by, the law for
publishing He argued, moreover, that the
complainant could not extend the words of the
libel, and that an innuendo could not supply
the place of the colloquium. Counsel for the
complainant said the words objected to in the
complaint were necessary.

DR.. Tumblety and Isaac Golliday.

LIE. uuOlcty aUO isaac UOu1Oays
To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
My attention was directed to an article in
your paper of yesterday TUESDAY, November
20), regarding the arrest of DR.. Tumblety in
London on suspicion of being connected with
the Whitechapel murders. The notice revived
sad memories Of the mysterious disappearance
of young Isaac Golliday, whom had known
from childhood, and who visited my house up
to the time of his singular disappearance. He
often spoke of DR.. Tumblety, and some one
told mo his father, Frederick Golliday, had
tried to break up the friendship between his
son and DIR. Tumblety, as he had a bad opinion
of him. If I have been correctly informed,
Isaac Golliday left his fathers clearinghouse
after dark and was never seen or heard of
since. The last conversation had with his
father he had no clue as to his whereabouts.
As DR.. Tumblety was not seen in Washington
after Isaac Golliday's disappearance from
home, it was hoped by his friends he had gone
to Europe with the doctor and might possibly
return. At the time Of his disappearance no
had about 300 in money and watch valued
at $50. Isaac Golliday was q nephew of ex-
Congressman Jacob and Edward Golliday, Of
Kentucky. q.

CRIME AMONG COLORED PEOPLE.
An Interesting Question Discussed b,
the Bethel Society.

The Bethel literary society held one Of its
regular meetings last night at the Metropoli-
tan A. M. E. church. The prearranged subject
for discussion was the amount Of crime COM
mitted by the colored people of the District
]. W. Cromwell, president Of the society,
stated that during the past year the Criminal
Court bad sent nineteen white men and one
hundred and twenty-one colored men to JAIL
and thirty-four white men and sixty-three col
ored men to the penitentiary. Mr.. Cromwelrs
remedy for this state of affairs was increased
activity in the Christian church and the estab-
lishment OF wOrkingmen's clubs. More home
training and more Sunday school instruction,
was the substance Of w. H. SCOTS propositions
Z. M. Hewlett, the lawyer defended the col
ored race and said that more than one-third
OF the cases made against colored people were
unjust; the police made arrests, he said so as
to keep up their record. He charged that MANY
OF those sentenced in the Police Court did not
have real trial, and in the Criminal Court
many man was convicted because he had no
means with which to engage good lawyer
Give the negro more work. said he land he
will commit less crime" He suggested that it
would be good thing to send a lot of the city's
IDLE poor out into the country to work on farms.
AN APPEAL TO REPUTABLE cOLoRED PEOPLE.
j. NJ. Kicks said that the fact cannot be ig-
nored that the colored people have constituted
the criminal class in this city, and though it
may be that many arrests have been made
without justification, those who have been
convicted are convicted for actual crime.
'The colored people" he said. ''are great steal
ers. great drunkards, and they have not the fine
sensibility as to morals that some other people
have; not because Of race, but because Of the
influences under which they have lived.
Those who are in the upper walks of life are
not willing to stoop down to those who are in
the gutter, to take hold Of them and lift them
up, and until the reputable colored people can
aid the worthless we must continue to have
such an odium heaped upon us as race"
Several other speakers, among them being F.
G. Revels, were of opinion that the colored
man would be more prosperous and more
