people have learned to call him, is q photo

which he took mp at the suggestion OF his

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Editor Critic:
Knowing the fact that your valuable
space is always open for the benefit of
the public, noticed from my house
615 Sixth street northwest-a nuisance
that should be abated. ! have no doubt
the same occurrences happen daily, but
] am not at home to see 1t. Now for
the growl, and good cause for 1t, too.
There is pump of excellent water three
doors from my house and the neigh
bers come from quite distance for its
sparkling, pure water.
The neighbors often send their small
children to the pump for water, and
yesterday noticed on several occasions
that a crowd of large boys hung around
the pump off and on all day long and
kept the smaller children away. /
noticed on two occasions that ladies
had to wait their motions or leave with
out any water, much less the little
ones. W. G.

Monument grounds, are now some

pleasant for home fishermen, but will
not cause grief among fishermen else.
where. Those particular carp, at least,
cannot be distributed throughout the
country. Some other carp may wallow
shout in Northern and Southern and
Western ponds and lakes and take the
place of better fish, but these must stay
where they are The various fish and
game associations of the United States
are more or less thankful
1t is held by some that the fish would
not have sought to escape had they not
heard OF the nature of the Samoan agree
ment. They were previously under the
impression that Germany owned this
country.

President and Premier.

Late on Monday afternoon one.
horse buggy was driven up to the Hotel
Normandie, on the corner of Fifteenth
and streets. The driver and only oc-
cupant was short, stoutly built man
of pallid complexion. Scarcely one OF
the hundreds of people who walked and
drove on the populous thoughfare had
the least idea who the man was. He
was the President Of the United States.
He alighted from the vehicle and sent a
message into the hotel by one of its re-
tainers. He stood on the sidewalk for
probably ten minutes, and in the mean
time several gentlemen who came along
and recognized him stopped and ex-
changed the customary salutations.
Then another man, taller and of much
slighter build, descended the hotel
steps. He extended his hand, and
after moments conversation the two
stepped into the buggy and, the Presi-
dent holding the reins, they drove off
into the country, and did not return
until q late hour. The Presidents com
panion was much more pallid than he,
but his eyes shone with glittering
lustre. He was the Secretary of State
In that ride by moonlight and under the
trees more affairs of State were dis
cussed and settled than in a dozen
Cabinet meetings. II Washington Cor

DIVORCES IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES.

In Australia divorces have never been
sanctioned. li
Divorces are scarcely ever known to
occur In modern Greece.
In Hindostan either party for slight
cause may leave the other and marry.
In the oldcn times the Jews had a
discretionary power Of diyorcipg their
wives. rri 4 ria.ei--
Divorces are scarcely allowed in
Thibet, unless with the consent of both
parties. Remarriage is forbidden.
In Cochin, China, the parties desiring
divorce break pair Of chopsticks In
thc presence Of witnesses and the thing
is done. ,,, f,r u.
Two kinds Of divorces are granted in
Circassia. BY the first the parties can
Immediately marry again; the second
not for year.
Among some tribes Of American In.
dians the pieces of sticks given the wit
nesses Of the marriage are broken as q
sign Of divorce.
If the wife of Turkoman asks his
permission to go out and he says go" I"
without adding "Come back again, -
they are divorced.
In Siberia, If a man is dissatisfied
with fhe most trifling acts of his wife,
he tears cap or veil from her face
and that constitutes divorce.
In Siam the first wife may be di-
vorced, but not sold as the others may
be. She may claim the first child The
others belong to the husband.
Among the Moors, If the wife does
not become the mother of boy, she
may be divorced with the consent of the
tribe and can marry again.
In the Arctic region a man who wants
divorce leaves home in anger and
does not return for several days. The
wife takes the hint and departs.
In China divorces are allowed in all
cases of criminality, mutual dislike,
jealousy, incompatibility of tempera-
ment or too much loquacity ON the part
Of the wife.

Heavy Storm at Martinsburg.

MARTINsBuRG, w. VA, June ia very
heavy storm passed over the southwest part
Of Berkeley County last evening. A terrific
gale Of wind that did great damage was
followed by a terrible thunder storm. This
was followed by heavy hail storm that
added greatly tothe destructiveness. The
hail stones lay in some places three or four
inches deep. Crops and trees are ruined.
Live stock was badly bruised, and, In some
instances, killed. Several houses and barns
were wrecked by the wind. No loss of life
has yet been reported. Owing to the late
ness OF the hour which the storm occurred,
details are meagre.

Let II also be known what State is next

changed that not three names but one
be sent in when application for clerk

ANOTHER MExicAN OUTRAGE.
Charges Made Against the Officials by
si n Toledo Man. 1851.


si n Toledo Man.
New York, June 17.-A World special
from Wichita, Kan, says: George l..
Andrews Of Toledo. Ohio, now homewarl
bound, says that last November he went to
Mexico 70 recuperate his health. He
stopped OFT at Candelabra, so miles south OF
Paso del Norte. A few days afterward he was
arrested and taken before the mayor OF the
province. He was Ignorant OF the charges
against him, but after the formality of
few minutes trial he was marched out OF
the court and into prison. He made several
unsuccessful appeals to Americans to se-
cure his release, and ut last he .was advised
to send word TO the English Consul. Be
fore he could do this he was taken down
with smallpox, from which he did not re-
cover until January About the 1st OF May
some English tourists stopped at the jail,
and he urged that they place his case In the
hands Of the English Consul. This was
evidently done, for on the 31st OF March he
was released, All his property had been
appropriated by his jailers, and he was
compelled TO borrow money enough to reach
FL Paso, where he telegraphed to Toledo
and received money with which to make
the journey home. His imprisonment was
horrible aud his food not flt for swine.
