Following an Eminent Examine.

The ueWs that Col. George W. Williams, the
colored lawyer of This city, contemplates mar
rying an Englishwonan excites wrath SAYS the
New York HsraH, among the colored people of
Boston who know him and his American
wife, Mrs. Sarah Sterritt Williams, who is
supporting herself and her fourteen-year- old
son as a hair dresser in Washington. She was
deserted by her husband more than q year ago
and refuses his entreaties to allow him to get a
divorce.
Col Williams, after leaving Boston, settled
in Washington, and those who know him say
that he was always partial TO the society of
Hayti by President Cleveland. The appoint
ment was never carried into effect. and it is
alleged that Williams failure to get this snug
berth was the result OF an investigation into
his private character. Williams is now in Wor-
cester writing another book. it is said. Col
Williams met tho woman he is about to marry
on his way to Europe. She was travelling with
her mother and two brothers and was on her
way to her home in London. Despite his color
she found him an agreeable companion, and
before the vessel landed on the other side he
had proposed marriage and was accepted. The
gay colonel spent few days III London and
then went to Belgium to attend to some pri-
yate business. While the colonel was away his
afianced bride called at the Office of Consul
General New to learn if there were any legal
objections to the marriage. In this way the
matter became public. Williams Was once a
Baptist clergyman. He resigned from the min
lstry and entered politics and succeeded while
living in Ohio in being elected to the lcgisa-
ture. firing of politics he became a Metho-
dist minis err ard for time preached in the
Buckeye state. The salary was small and as
Mr.. Williams had expensive tastes he left the
church a second time and entered the legal
profession.

PHOTOGRAPHIC THE CITY.
The Camera Club to Start Out to Cap.
ture the Capital Tomorrow.

The members of the Washington camera
club will meet tomorrow morning at their club
rooms in the Capital building. opposite Will
lard's hotel, armed with their cameras, grea,
and small, innumerable dry plates and map
Of the city of Washington. Then, after ap-
portioning of among themselves a good part
OF the 40 miles square on the banks Of the
Potomac" that will in 1892 be the scene Of the
great worlds fair, 80 that every man shall have
elbow room. they will start off seeking for sub
jects. They will systematically photograph
the city in all its phases-public buildings,
monuments, statues, avenues, byways, secluded
corners. crowded places. landscapes and every
part OF the town that is at all artistic, odd in
teresting or historic.
COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE CITY.
In worG the lenses of the cameras will be
blinked without cessation during the day until
a complete composite photograph Of this
beautiful city has been obtained. Then the
members will re ire to the deep red obscurity
OF their dark rooms, and, like chrysale5. grub
and wash and develop amid the fumes OF acids
and salts until the butterfly results appear on
their plates, fixed AMI permanent.
Thus VIII Washington be photographed by
the camera club. The actual process Uf snap
ping the shutters and, in the popular sense. of
taking the pictures" will last only tomorrow
but the work OF developing thu plates. toning
and pr.ntlI will take much longer. Then 8.
committee will go over the products and select
q hundred or 50 of the best plates that illus
trate most fully and completely the character
;stics Of the city.
TO ILLUSTRATE LECTURE.
These, together with many photographs the
club already has on hand, will be the material
TO be used to illustrate a lecture on Washing
ton," which will be delivered by some chosen
member OF the club later in the season. Ar
rangements have been made with Photographic
clubs in other cities OF this country and even
in Europe for the exchange of slides which
can easily be duplicated, 80 that thus sort of
syndicate of illustrated cities will be formed,
to the unlimited edihcation Of the members of
each organization, at trifing cost
The date of the lecture has not been fixed as
it depends upon the length OF time required by
the development and selection OF the photo
graphs. Last spring Mr.. Cole, member of
the club, read a lecture on Boston, illustrated
by views .aken by members of the Hub associ-
alton OF shutter workers.

BISHOP AS A PHYSICIAN.
The Remedy the Dead Comedian Pre-.
scribed for a Patient.

From the New York Star.
Comedian Bishops death called to mind q
story he once told about his experience as a
physician. Shortly after he had graduated
from a San Francisco medical college medi-
cal friend Of his was called to Sacramento on
important business, and before leaving he re-
quested Bishop TO call on one of his patients
twice week. Bishop did as requested, and,
while with the sufferer, would sit for an hour
by his bedside telling him funny stories, of
which he had a large fund. When the regular
physician returned he went to the hospital to
See his patient Upon asking the sick man
what Bishop had given him the former said:
"Oh, he gave me a little Of everything. He
talked Dutch, Irish, French and every other
dialect, and made me laugh until the tears
rolled down my cheeks"
But what medicine did he give you?'
"well, he said he forgot to bring the medi-
cine with him, but that he would send it up"
Did her"
Ibid he? Well, I should smile," said the
patient, as he took a quart bottle of whisky
from under his pillow.
In relating the story Bishop said: 1.-THE worst
feature about my first case was that the patient
was Just recovering from a severe attack of
delirium tremens, but believing in the Latin
motto, 'Similia similibus curantur' did the
best could for beginner"
