 BOSTON, March 1s.-The committee sp
 pointed to investigate the affairs of Henry
 Woods Son & Co.,, paint and varnish deal-
 CTS, George H. Wood & Co.,, cements, and
 Edmund H. Wood, has prepared it's report.
 The liabilities of Henry Woods Son 6 Go.
 are $1s7 ,3s7, gross assets $114,95e. The Ii- abilities of George H. Wood & Co. are S72,-
 416, gross assets $42,253. The liabilities
 of Edmund H. Wood are s29s, PAS, mostly in secured notes; amount due to Henry Wood d's 1 Son and Inducements, gross assets, $s0, 715. | The individual liabilities of Martial F. H. Wood are SIS, ,s33, and his individual assets | a quarter interest in some doubly mortgsged I real estate. Louis F. Woods liabilities and 1 assets are the same as those of M. F. H. Wood.
 George H. Woods liabilities are abont $56, ,350, and he has no assets. The commit tee says that the firm has been insolvent for ! years. This insolvency was created and in oreased by the continued withdrawal of money from the business of the firm by the l senior partner for private purposes. The amount withdrawn by the partners during eleven years appears, by the books, to be $247, ,679. The individual account of the senior partner lE. M. Woodl stands charged are included in the above sum. While the books have been correctly kept the committee has been confronted with confusion unparalleled in their exper- fence. Without expressing the slightest want of confidence in the present assignees the committee believes the interests of the creditors demand that there shall be joined with them a representative of the creditors whe would give more time to the details of work in experimenting the early closing out of the assets and the distribution of the pro ceeds thereof.

SPORTING MATTERS,

The New Ravens in Fourth Place. They Defeat Meriden 10 1.-The ! Rink Filled to Its Utmost Capacity One of the largest crowds that have att tended the polo games this season witnessed the struggle for fourth place between the New Ravens and the Meridens last evening. The game was lively one with no tiresome moments, excepting the time occupied in re- pairing broken skates.
 New Haven won two to one. The first goal was made by Newcomb, after having made three drives in quick suc- cession whick Reed had stopped. The score was finally tied by Still, who caged the ball on Cenner's pass from behind the cage.
 In the third goal Cunningham took the rush and after two or three minutes playing brought the ball down the rink towards New Haven's cage but just as he was about to drive for goal he struck Phelan and both fell. Three other players who were following fell on top of these two and for minute or two there seemed to be prospect of a general scrimmage, but it subsided and all went on quietly with the exception of Cunningham and Phelan, who exchanged few blows with their sticks. After playing over fifteen minutes Hill passed the ball to Connors, who caged it by quick drive from the side.
 The features of the game were the block.

 There were many Weriden people present

 odds. They evidently had the wrong tip.

Leather RraceIeGS.

There is no limit to the artistic beauty of
modern shoes and slippers for indoor wear.
Precious stones are largely used for the deco
ration of fancy footwear by eastern fashion
ables and the recent introduction Of leather
bracelets is not surprising. Soft ooze leather
and also the finer qualities of kid are used for
the purpose, and very pretty they are. Those
of tho ooze are usually made fiat on the in
side, rounding on the outside, by being pad
ded or made over light frame, and are
studded with brilliants or precious stones. A
lovely one, intended for bridal present, was
of ooze in light fawn shade, and was set
with emeralds and rubies in the shape of a
true lovers knot A guard chain tied in a
bow knot and finished with gold tassels lent
it an additional charm. Inside was gold
tablet, bearing suitable inscription. The
kid bracelets are usually made in flat, wide
bands, fastening around the arms by means
of buckle either of gold or crusted with
jewels The stones are first set in gold &C
cording to desired design, and then attached
to the leather. They are lined with silver,
gold, silk or satin, according to price. They
are becoming quite popular in the east, es-
pecially as engagement bracelets.-St Louis

The Birth of Washington.

Tho birthday of Washington is registered
in an old family Bible of quarto form, de-
lapidated by use and age and covered with
Virginia striped cloth, the record being in
the handwriting of the patriots father:
George William son of Augustine Washington,
and Mary, his wife, was born ye eleventh day of
February, 1731-s, about ten in the morning, and
was Baptized the Sd April following, Mr.. Bromley
Whiting and Captain Christopher Brooks god
fathers and Mrs. Mildred Gregory godmother
The difference in the Gregorian calendar.
or new style of reckoning time, brings the
birthday to the 22d of February instead Of
the 18th.
Almost every one is familiar with the home
of Washington through the many engravings
which have been published, and which have
found their way to almost every Preside.
The mansion, very spacious on the ground
floor, is INTELLECTUALLY quite pleasing. 1t
stood upon smooth green, velvety lawn,
spreading several hundred feet down to the
river, which washed its eastern base. The
prospect it commanded was magnificent The
eminence in the rear was crowned with a
stately forest. The estate of 2, 800 acres was
divided into many highly cultivated farms.
Much of the region was still covered with the
forest which the ak of the settler had never
disturbed. Game of every variety abounded
on the hills. Washington inherited this
property from his brother Lawrence, and tho
original mansion house was built by him, but
when it came into the possession of George
Washington he enlarged the mansion and i'm
proved the property in every way.
Washington wrote regarding its resources,
saying:
'sNo estate in, the United States is more
pleasantly situated In high and healthy
country, in a latitude between the extremes
of heat and cold, on one of the finest rivers in
the world river well stocked with various
kinds of fish at all seasons of the year, and in
the spring with shad, herring, bass and carp

and finery instead of supplying themselves
with the bread, for the lack OF which they
claimed they were suffering. He concluded
by saying: "You say you are hungry and
have no money. Here is all have; it is
not much, but takeit'' He then, emptying
his pockets, threw all the money they con-
tanned among the mob, after which he took
out his watch and said: 1--WE do not desire
to injure any one, but this lawlessness
must stop. Twill give you five minutes to
disperse, otherwise you will be fired on"
The order was given the company to pre-
pare for firing, and the grim, resolute old
Captain-who, Mr.. Davis says, was an old
resident of Richmond but whose name he
does not recall-gave his men the COM
mand: s'Load !' The musketa were then
loaded with buck and ball cartridges, with
strict observance of military usage, and
every one could see that when their stern
commander received orders to fire he in
tended to shoot to kill. The mob evidently
fully realized this fact, and at once began
to disperse, and before the five minutes had
expired the trouble was over, and the
famous misnamed bread riot was at an end.

The Barher,s Snonoe.

BARRIERS have entirely discarded the sponge
I'm all first class tonsorial establishments for
the more clearly and more pleasing towel,
and every customer is now treated to q sort
of facial Turkish bath for the small sum of
fifteen cents. The idea of applying to the
face a towel dipped in boiling hot water
originated in Boston and became immensely
popular at once. After removing the hirsute
growth the barber instead of hopping the
face with an i'll smelling sponge now dips a
fresh towel in hot water, wrings it thoroughly
and wraps it around the bleeding jaw of the
victim. The sensation that follows is one of
unmixed misery, as if cauterizing iron had
been passed around the face, completely scar
ing it. The towel is hastily removed, again
plunged into the hot water basin, and once
more applied. This process is continued as
long as the patience of the helpless subject
lasts When the last towel is removed and
the face is allowed to cool down from its
glowing and boiled lobster state a delicious
feeling of freshness follows and the sharp,
singing pain, due to the remorseless passage
of cold, sharp steel over the face has disap-
peared. This is the great advantage claimed
for the system, and it really seems to possess
it. The towel is altogether preferable any
way, as the soap which soaks into a sponge
soon becomes malodorous and the small hairs
which collect in it rasp the face like so many
pins-St. Louis Republic.

The Yezidees, or Devil Worshipers

The Yezidees will not serve in the Turkish
army, because their religion forbids them to
mingle with the hated Mussulmans, but
escape by paying good round communication
fee yearly The people are at the lowest
stage of civilization, with no hope of rising
so loag as Sheik Adi's rules are in force
Under the influence of their conditions and
Of the prejudices of their neighbors against
them, they have become a sinister, malicious,
treacherous people. The rite of hospitality,
SO sacred among the Bedouins, is unknown
among them No one can feel safe among
them. They attach no value to human life.
To these ordinary dangers are added those
arising from the embarrassing etiquette Of
any one inadvertently lets escape the word
devil, Satan, or anything sounding like it, he
commits mortal offense, and to cut off his
head is a God pleasing act and a sacred duty of
the Yezidee, the ful6llment of which will
insure him a place in paradise. Several let
tiers are in like manner wholly banished from
the language, chiefly those which contain the
sound of a ''shun;" also the Arabic word
nallet, ''Thou art damned" which was spoken
by God to the fallen angel when he pitched
him into hell. Therefore all words contain
ing similar sounds are set aside, and other
combinations not belonging to any language
are used in their stead.-I,r. L. e. Browski
