Fine Hands and Poarly Nails Quite Fad
In Washington.

| Fine Hands and Pcarly Nails Quite q Fad
In Washington.
One of the " local specials in the Wash
ington, D. c., Critic reads:
! The members of the French Legation
have the best kept hands of any men at
| Washington This on the authority of 8
! local manicure, as she addressed herself
| artistically to the reportorial fnger-nails
! There's hardly man in the embassy whose
| fnger-tlps are not as brilliant as nother-of.
| pearl They go to the manicure as regu-
| larly as to BARRIERS. Why shouldn't they!
| Manicuring is a French art and patriot
ism alone would lead them to favor it. In
! this city men are better patrons of mani
| cures than are women. The artistic des
mains drew aside porcupine quill portiere
and showed handsomely furnished apart
! ment in which several weleknown men
were awaiting their turn at the manicure
cushion.
This is our smoking-room," she said.
"Our art has found such favor among the
masculine element that it was necessary to
! provide thus for our men patrons"
How do you account for the predomi
nance of men among your customers"
Il think it's because women learn the art
themselves and practice it at home. Miss
Cleveland took clever way of availing her
self of the art She sent her maid here to be
treated. The maid was observing and imi-
tative, and afterward dressed her lady S
hand in the most approved fashion. But
| Miss Cleveland didn't profit much by her
ruse for the maid demanded the wages Of
skilled labor, and when this was refused her,
gave up her situation and opened manicural
parlors.
Its surprising how pretty fingers please
even the great of the land. Not long ago a
representative from one of the Gulf States
happened into my parlors. Washington
civilization had pinched his toes, and, in
consequence, he had corn to be treated.
After had placed him properly on his feet
he paid me literally, and said he guessed
he would hurry over and see the President
on business l glanced at his hands, each
finger of which carried a much-chewed
nail. l suggested that ne submit to mani
caring. but as he didn't appear TO under
stand what meant / finished of hnger
s9r him. 1t took his fancy exactly, and
now he exhibits ten glttering gems at his
finger ends whenever he removes his
gloves
The fnger-decorative fad has probably
reached higher development in Washing
ton than in any other American city. At a
fashionable school in this city nail culture
is almost part of the curriculum and the
bosrders are visited regularly by mani
cure and instructed in the mysteries of
unusual sdornment. Mrs. James Brown
Potter was noted while in Washington So
ciety for the beauty of her finger tips and
did much to increase the popularity of this
peculiar art.
Mrs. Cleveland yields her own poliss>sy
Ges ongles, but public reception, with its
hand gras ping. Undoes much careful mani
cursl work. During Arthur's Administra-
ton manicure made regular weekly visits
to the White House, and from that time
nail garniture at the Capital dates its
greatest popularity

$1,000 Examination.

LANSING, July 27.-The examination of
William Kelly and dad" Hilton, the al
legged gold brick swindlers, was commenced
before Justice Chase this afternoon.
William McKellops, the victim of the
swindle, swore that he was 81 years of age
and gave the following story of the manner
in which the scheme was worked:
On the morning of July II stranger call
ing himself Simon Streeter called him from
his house in Perry and represented that he
was from California on his way east to pur-
chase mining machinery; that some years
ago man named McKelops had done him
favor and he had stopped here to look him
up, but found that he was dead. Hearing
of his benefactor's namesake he thought he
would make him a friendly call.
The conversation proceeding, Streeter
drew newspaper from his pocket and read
McKellOps an account of a recent discovery
of gold mine by an Indian in California.
He said the Indian was desirous of dispos-
ing of an interest in the mine so as to secure
money with which to develop it, and Nc
Kellops was induced to come to Lansing
and examine a couple. of bricks of gold
taken from the mine. In piece of woods
near this city the Indian owner of the mine
was found and the bricks taken from their
hiding place beneath the bush and tested by
Streeter in the usual manner with blow
pipe, acid, etc.
The pieces of gold which had been placed
in the brick for decoy purposes were in this
manner extracted and brought to this city,
where Jeweler Brackets test found them
to be 1s-carat fine.
Streeter and McKellop returned to Perry
and the next day went to Howell, where the
latter drew nearly seven thousand dollars
from McPherson's bank. They came to
Lansing and that night after McKellops had
for some time been in bed at the Chapman
house, Streeter came to his room with the
bricks and the transfer was made.
1t transpired on the examination that the
money was paid for q deed of portion of
the mine. and the bricks were left with Nc
Kellops for security. The plan was that
Streeter and McKellops were to go to Phia-
delphia and exchange the gold for money at
the mint. They were ''then going to Cali
fornia and become millionairesR as the old
man said.
McKellops positively identified Kelly as
the person who impersonated Sheeter, and
Hilton as the Indian whom he met in the
woods.
Attorney Montgomery's cross-examna-
ton, however, proved McKellops' memory
to be exceedingly treacherous, and that
through nervousness or inability to properly
discern objects he was unable to correctly
describe objects directly before him. Hugh
