forming there. They were both chrlstened

wAsnINaToN,s GOOD roRruNE.

Washington is, meteorologically con
sideied, as fortunate city rs 1t is in
other respects. We complain here of
had weather-the right to complain of
whatever happens being our inalienable
and inestimable privilege-but. as a
matter of fact Washington escapes all
grave disasters. Cyclones and great
storms swing around it. 1t lies in a
basin, which is apparently outside the
course of great atmospheric disturb
anees, and does not suffer, though sur.
rounding regions may be almost de-
yastated. Isothermal lines lie well for
the city's temperature 1t is happily
situated.
II does rain here on the 4th of March
the date Of Inauguration day should
be changed-but, aside from this, the
climate is admirable. The seat of Gov.
ernment could not, from one point of
view, have been more wisely located.

Double Arkansas Hanging.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Aug. 31.-A
double hanging occurred here yesterday.
The two men were Jack Spaniard, a
white Cherokee Indian and William
Walker, a negro, both murderers.
Walker listened to the death warrant
with seeming indifference. Spaniard,
when the guards entered his cell TO
handcuf him, seized a chair and threat
ened to beat to death any one who
touched him. His object was TO induce
the guards TO shoot him. He begged
Jailer Pape to shoot him. Three
quarters of an hour was required TO in
iduce him to listen To reason and then
he submitted TO being manacled. Ar
irving at the gallows, some time was
spent in religious devotions, when the
nooses were adjusted, the black caps
placed and the trap was sprung. The
necks of both were broken by the fall.
Spaniard was hung for the murder OF
United States Deputy Marshal Erwin a
year & while e~ndeavoring to rescue a
criminal from that officer. Walker
murdered calvin Church, colored, a
year and a half ago.

Don't Want the Notoriety.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-The announce
ment that Private Secretary Halford in
tends to bring suit against a firm of
cigarette manufacturers to restrain them
from using the photograph of his
daughter in connection with the sale of
their goods is likely TO embolden a good
many prominent people TO take a similar
course. At intervals for two or three
years past speciously worded advertise
ments offering to ladies who will for
ward their photographs to certain desig-
mated places the return of a dozen or more
reduced duplicates free of charge, have
appeared in papers in the leading cities
Of the country. These advertisements
have emanated from one or another of
the firms in question, and all such of
the photographs received have devel-
oped to be those of society beauties or
the daughters of prominent people in
the towns in question. What is more
to the point, many of these miniature
photographs have gone back with other
limbs, and other busts, and other posi-
tions than those of the original. There
was one case winch Created a sensation
in Milwaukee some time ago, andin which
a society belle of the first water, who
in a spirit of fun had responded to one
these advertisements inserted in a
western paper, was d~umbfoundsd a few
months later when her beau, in opening
a package of cigarettes at a picnic, drew
out a photograph in which she was rep
resented as lounging on a couch in a
a negligee attitude, her lower extrem-
tiles encased in tights and the charms
of her bust exposed to full view. AS
for the head and features they were
perfect and nobody who had
seen the young lady in question a
couple of times could nave had any hest
tation in deciding upon the identity. In
this case it took some time and labor to
verify the young lady's protestations
that she had not been photographed as
the picture indicated and a scandal was
narrowly averted. There are scores of
towns and cities of which the same story
Is true, and hence the contemplated pro-
ceedings of Secretary Halford become q
matter Of national interest.

West Was a High Flyer.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. - James j..
West, lately Of the Chicago Times, few
high when he first visited Washington
past winter. He fell in socially with
two Of the beautiful daughters of an old
Virginia family, and was 20 charmed
with their accomplishments that he
took them to New York to see the sights
for two weeks and to stop at the Fifth
avenue hotel. Their mother was the
chaperon. 1t made no difference to the
open handed westerner how large the
city was. He gave box parties fire.
quently at the National theatre, and at
Albaugh's, and bought jewels for the
young ladies. He had Mrs. West come
on TO meet them, and took them all on
a long pleasure trip in a private car to
the Yellowstone park. On his second
visit to Washington West did not fly so
high. To Fred A. G.. Handy, brother OF
Moses Handy, he owed something like
$500 for services as Washington CORE
spondent OF the Times. Handy pro-
ceeded to have him arrested when he
reached the town, but West went TO the
Telegraph Office with his creditor and
generously offered to settle the account
then and there by te~legraphing to Chi
cago for some money. The money never
came.
