whole proceedings were cooked up"
to save Mr.. Peters the embarrassment
OF a grand jury investigation. 1t may
only serve, however, to subject JUS
tice Rusch himself to the espionage Of
the grand jury.
1t is just such work as this that
some years ago induced the Legisla-
ture to strip the Justices of all the
prerogatives that could constitution
ally be taken from them.
Apropos, were not the proceedings
of Saturday null and void, the action
of the Justices being ultra ri7es, 1t
seems to us that in fact Peters still
stands committed for the action OF the
Grand Jury, and his bondsmen would
be liable should he disappear.

How Gowns are Fastened.

The majority of gowns of today, when
once put upon my lady, would puzzle the
u%ninitiated as to the way in which she
was gotten into it. No hooks end eyes, no
buttons, in fact no visible ~fastenings of
any kind. Folds, pufings and shirrings
cunningly conceal the fact that there are
hooks and buttons somewhere, and my
lady was not melted and poured into the
gown in a soft state, as one might suppose
from general appearances.

The National Gretna Green.
There have been so many runaway
marriages in Washington during the
past year that the city is becoming a
Variable Gretna Green. Children fail
ing to secure a marriage license or a
minister to perform the matrimonial
ceremony have only to fly to Washington
and their hearts are quickly made to beat
as one. Attention has been called re-
Gently to the loose condition of affairs in
this respect by the elopement and mar
rage of Claiborne A.. Wilson and Miss
Maud Glasscott, Of this city. He is
twenty, she seventeen, He is a nephew
of President Arthur's United States
Marshal in this district, while she is a
belle in the youngest channels OF upper
society. On both sides of the match
there is Il protest, but it is OF no use; it is
too late.
In the multiplicity of complications
which have brought forth hundreds of
sensational marriages in the District of
Columbia during the past three years,
making this a resort far famed for all
who have obstacles in the way of mar
rage, not one has ever been made to
suffer. It is not a crime in the eyes of
society and the law to aid and abet
amusement OF this character. From
Maryland, Virginia and all directions
they come every day, till the list of
marriage licenses issued by the clerk of
the District Court runs as high as that of
a whole large State.
Congress viii not, however, be invoked
to stop the traffic. for the people here
seem to enjoy it. On the contrary. it will
be encouraged. No troublesome ques-
tions are asked when q man applies for II
license in Washington to wed the girl OF
his choice. All that Is necessary to secure
a wife is to get the girl to say Yes, and
raise 81 in Gosh for - 1iepDxn and secure n
minister to tie the knot. 1t does not mat
ter whether you are white, black or
copper colored; or whether your sweet
heart is one color and you. another. 1t
makes no difference whether you are
twenty-one or seventeen; whether your
parents are willing or unwilling. One
dollar will secure the order of the court
upon a minister of the Gospel to solemn
fze the rites of marriage, and no ques-
tons will be asked. So much encourage
ment is just now afforded young people
to elope to Washington that fathers and
mothers in the surrounding country are
not a little worried

Stealing Honor.

The report of the Secretary of the
Navy, General Tracy, of Brooklyn, is
issued for publication today. General
Tracy has heretofore passed for "a man
of honor, and he has to his credit n
graceful act which seemed to dis
tinguish him from his fellow members
of the Cheap John administration.
But this act finds no counterpart in
the report just published. On the
contrary a mean ungentlemanlike,
unstatesmanlike, even unlnanly effort
is made to belittle the services of
Secretary Whitney and steal all the
credit of the new navy for the Repub-
lican administration.
Fortunately the public know the
facts. They have had them ground
into their minds by d long succession
of scandals in the administration of
the Navy Department, The names
of Robson and Chandler are written
in the letters of fire upon the page of
political infamy, and no contemplate
juggling of General Tracy's can re-
verse the records OF history.

HENKEL'S CASINO RAIDED.
The Police Make a Swoop on Walters,
Musicians and ARTISTS"

MublCl6 us ana TATblSbSsF
There was a big excitement, between
eight and nine O'Clock last evening, in the
vicinity of the 81" station at Palisade
avenue and Ferry street, caused by a
raid on Henkel's Casino, and the arrest of
the proprietor, ~bartenders, walters, mu-
sicians and "artists."
1t appeared that citizens had complained
at Police Headquarters hat the female
performers at the so-called sacred concert
were entirely too decollette in their cos
tune, and that their exhibitions were
not edifying or in accordance with a well
regulated show.
Detective K~ilcauley was sent from
headquarters to investigate the charges.
He was accompanied by Chanceman Lee,
and what the two officers saw induced
them to visit the Sixth Precinct Police
Station on Webster avenue, and there TO
make q charge against all parties ou-
cerned in the concert.
Captain McNulty was absent but Ser
geants Holderer and Wilshusen organ
lied the raid with ten patrolmen.
The raiders did not waste n time in
the matter. Entering the side door on
Raylne avenue, they took possession of
the bar rooms and concert hall, and
placed all the parties under arrest.
Charles Henkel, the proprietor. was
charged with keeping a disorderly house
The others were arrested as disorderly
persons. They We're Daniel Crowley and
Frank Fayre, walters; Alois Haas, George
Lunieina and Fred Cline, musicians;
Frank J. Henkel and Louis Henkel, bar
tenders; and Fannie Stewart, aged TWEEN
ty-three, and Nellie Lewis, twenty-nine
years, both described as ''artists."
A large crowd followed the raiding
parties and the prisoners to the Webster
Avenue Police Station, where Justice
Lansing was fortunate enough to beat
Justice Robinson, by a few minutes only,
thus securing the job of taking bail and
the accompanying fees. A citizen of New
York avenue gave bonds for Mr.. Henkel's
appearance, and the latter became surety
for the other prisoners to appear before
Justice WanSer this morning.
The parties were all on hand at the APP
pointed time, and the cases were rapidly
disposed of, Mr.. Charles Henkel was re-
quired to give bonds in the sum of $500,
to await action by the Grand jury, and
the others each paid a fine of 81 and We're
discharged.

THERE is misery among the glass
workers of South Jersey. There has
been a strike there for months past,
and the resources of the down trodden
men are nearly exhausted. The en-
ployers are ~jubilant, and they are
pushing their advantage by filling up
their shops with n%on-union men. Pres
emily there will be a few hundred ex-
pert tradeslnen tralnping over the
country in search of work OF else
abandoning the trade which they
know and taking to day labor for
bread.
The trouble is chiefly in Gloucester
county, and, of course. Gloucester is

They were in a quandary for time, but have decided tc continue to live as man and wife.

 'Oh, indeed," answered Ida, hitting viciously at wasp with her paint brush "Well, l hopc that you will find the invest ment q satisfactory one And now, if you please, do not let us talk any more about money, because am quite tired of the sub ject." Then raising her voice, she went on: "Come here, Col. Quaritch, and Mr. 'Cossey shall judge between us," and she pointed to her picture.
 Edward glanced at the colonel with no amiable air. II know nothing about art" he said, 'and am afraid I must be getting on. Good morning." And taking off his hat to Ida he turned and weut.

washington,s Personal Influence.

When the convention to frame a new constitution met, Washington was chosen as it's president. Thomas Jefferson was in Europe and his clear and comprehen- sive intellect was greatly needed. Some wanted the pure democracy of Athens :; some wanted a monarchy modelled after that of Great Britain and it was even suggested that a younger son of George III be chosen king. To James Madison, a young man from Virginia, of small stature, mild hammered and modest, but thoroughly equipped for such q task, we are indebted for drafting the constitu- tion substantially as it exists to-day. But before Madison had formulated his plan, everything was in confusion. There was a babel of tongues and worse than babel of counsel. The situation seemed hopeless and there was every prospect that the delegates would adjourn with out accomplishing anything. Had Wash ington possessed the ambition of Napo- leon or Caesar, such d result would have been welcomed by him. Gen Knox, who was d monarchist at heart, advised him to keep away from the convention and reserve himself for 'ssome great emergency That emergency would have arisen from the anarchy which a dissolution of the convention was sure to precipitate.
 But just as all seemed lost, Washing ton arose in his seat as president and, | with countenance filled with anguish and a voice trembling with emotion, uttered four or five sentences, conelud- ing with these words 'sLet us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the event is in the hands ot lGod." It is safe to say that so few words never before or since exercised such vast influence upon the delibera
 tions of any body of men. That one speech secured the adoption of tho Iconstitution by the convention and Wash ington's personal influence did more
 than all other agencies combined to sc
 cure it's ratification by the States Sun
