y GREAT deal Of pother has been ere
ated over the re-rating of the pension of
Senator Manderson. After the first chat
Ter concerning it ended, the officials looked
up the whole matter and discovered First,
that the Senator knew nothing of it until
after the re-rate had been ordered. Second,
Chat the Senator was severely wounded in
battle in 1884, and has never recovered
from the injury, and never will. Third,
that clerk in the Pension Bureau in
searching the rate lists discovered that by
error the Senator's pension had been erro-
neously placed upon lower list than the
proofs on file in the first place entitled him
to. Fourth, that the correction was there
upon made, and that the Senator did moi
file any application in the case for re-
rating. No good American desires any
soldier, who is entitled clearly to given
rate under the law, to be deprived of any
part of his right because of a clerical error
or the blunder of a former Commissioner
General Manderson was permanently in
jured in battle while lighting for his coun
try, and, whether rich or poor, it is hi
right to be given the credit for the pension
allotted him under the law.

MIDNIGHT CONNECTION.
Sanguinary Conflict Between a Couple
Railroad Switchmen

Sanguinary Conflict Between Couple of
Railroad Switchmen.
About quarter past II o'clock last night
there was lively commotion on X street,
between Third and Fourth. First police
whistle sounded about midway of the
block, and presently a pistol shot came
from Fourth and K streets. The latter. il
turned out, was caused by an officer drop
ping his weapon on the pavement while
flying TO answer the whistle-blast The
pistol shot drew large crowd from all d.
rections, and the cause of the commotion
soon became apparent.
In the well-lighed International Hotel
Restaurant there could be seen a lively
battle in progress. 1t was difficult to tell,
from the street, how many complaints
were engaged in it, as the air was filled
with flying bottles, casters, pepper-sauce
ercestershire sauce, and all the usual
adornments OF modern eating house
table. Officer Cunningham and special
officer May ran into the room and the
lighters two in number) separated. One
of them, E. Roe, broke away from
the officer and rushed up stairs, and while
Cunningham and May followed him. the
other, Ed. Boylan, ran out the back way,
where he was afterward found by officers
Lowell and Cunningham washing the gore
from his head, hands and clothes. Roe
had in the meantime been captured up
stairs and taken to the police station by
officer Franks and special May. Both were
found to be badly cut and gashed by
broken glassware, Boylan being the worst
injured, as his left wrist bore an ugly-look-
ing wound. They were booked for dis
turbing the peace, but will probably prose-
cute one another on more serious charges.
1t appears that both are switchmen. en-
ployed in the same gang in the railroad
yards, and had gone to the restaurant for
their supper. Boylan stated that Roe
began to pick at him." as he was in the
habit of doing, and that from words they
came to blows, each using whatever
weapon he could lay hands on. The res.
taurant had the appearance, after the
melee, of having been invaded by Kansas
cyclone. Before being locked up at the
prison they exchanged compliments and
seemed DESTROYS of renewing the battle, but
there were too many officers on hand, and
the affair was postponed.

Police Captain Karcher reported at the
City Prison last night that he had been in

NJ, that little before o'clock man was
seen to go over the wharf and disappear.
None of the few persons who saw the
man disappear could tell who he was,
whether he jumped into the water pur-

known nobody was missing but the mys-

was found to be physically disqualified.

SECRETARY Tracy, Of the Naval De-
partment, has decided that officers in the
Medical Corps must pass examination be-
fore promotion. The decision has awak-
ened adverse criticism in naval circles, but
why We cannot understand. The Medical
Corps ought to keep abreast with the sci
ence of medicine, which is progressive.
Heretofore, says the Secretary, "a Custom
has prevailed of allowing large batch of
officers to be examined at one time, and if
successful, to be promoted thereafter as va
cancies occurred. In some cases officers
have been promoted on certificates of ex-
aiming boards made several years previ-
ously.p The Secretary holds that because
a medical officer is found to be qualifi d

THE proposition to remove the body of
General Grant to the National Capitol
grounds, and there enshrine it fittingly in
a tomb to be erected by the National
Legislature, is proper suggestion to be
carried out-provided always that Mrs.
Grant will consent. But the abuse of
New York city for not erecting monu-
ment over the remains of the great soldier
is not just. The fact is, that the press of
New York did say that if the General
was buried in that city the people of the
metropolis would erect monument to his
memory, and fund for that purpose was
started by the press, the New York Star
notably leading. But New York, as a
city, made no pledges in the case. The
body was entombed at Riverside because
Mrs. Grant chose to have it placed there,
near her own home. General Grant was
not New York mamie was National in
service, fame and the honors showered
upon him. 1t is the right thing, there
fore, for the nation to do to erect his
monument, and that, too, whether it is
built at Washington or in New York city.

Lace dresses described by Harper's Bazaar
are of Chantilly net, with or without seal
lops, in vine, arabeSque and leaf patterns and
stripes A great deal of jet galloon is used
upon these dresses, sometimes in wide dag
onal rows across the front of the gathered
bodice, while others have jetleaf stripes set in
rows down the front of the bodice and of the
skirt. Gold ribbon-metal ribbon like gold
cloths on other lace gowns, and many gal
looms Of mixed gold cord and jet beads.
MORE ribbon is as fashionable as last year for
trimming, and the economical reader will
find that she need not alter well made lace
gown of last summer.
The gathered bodice, full sleeves, and
draped skirts still prevail, though there are
novelties as well, such as deeply draped lace
aprons plated in front and curving up each
side leet quite short in the back below the
waist line. There are also alternate breadths
of Chantilly net and of plain Brussels net, the
latter crossed by many rows of milliners'
folds made of black gros grain; narrow
lace founce edges each breadth at the foot,
and ha-gs separate from the foundation
skirt Of faille, Of peau de sole or Of MORE.

that time when travelling in the month Of
April, severe swelling in the face came on
without apparent cause.
There were red, wheal like elevations, COM
bined with swelling of the eyelids These
disappeared after four days confinement in
her room. Any exposure, however, to the
sun, either in clear or cloudy weather, re-
induced it. The same irritability returned
next spring, TO cease again in autumn and
winter. This required every spring, but
lasted each year a longer time; the infiltra-

Even in a closed apartment, the side of the
face turned to the light, if near the window,
showed some irritation, manifested by pap
ular eczema. Shortly after sunset and at
night she could go out in all winds and states
of the weather. Even in the keenest east
wind the skin was unaffected. Of many and
various external remedies none gave relief;
most of them increased the irritation.
DR.. Veiel next sought to discover what
property of the suns rays induced this irrita-

neither lamp nor candle incommoded her.
The chemical rays were next considered and
it was found, in accordance with the expert

their influence most completely. She was &C.
cordingly provided with red veil, and sent
out into the open air in the height of the day.
The veil proved invaluable; for she who
could not leave her room for two minutes in
July and August in the forenoon, remained
out, with its aid, repeatedly and without
harm, for forty minutes at time.
1t is suggested that excursionists who I'M

fective in the instance here cited.

FASHIONABLE BONNETS AND MANTLES.
There are bonnets that combine in their
fashion the favorite half toque, half capote
variety; there are wide brimmed lace round
hats, with open topped crowns; there are
small stylish toques and turbans, and there
are picturesque hats with low crowns and
turned down brims. There remains no ques-
ton but that the hats are decidedly lower in
the crown than formerly.
Some very pretty mantles have been de-
signed for outdoor wear Many of these are
of thick black silk cord guipure, over glace
silk, or else covered with jet. There are
many black trimmings to be seen on medium
tinted materials. The LIE Capuchon mantle
is made in velvet, very short with plated
sleeves and two long black lace ends Seine
pretty mantelets are formed of scarfs of cash
mere, trimmed with applique embroidery
made like straight scarf, long in front, the
shoulders formed by a few gathers.
In the accompanying cut are shown two
imported bonnets and mantles. One MANTLE
designed especially for young ladies' wear, is,
of course, silk net, with reviereS of fringes
in beads and jet. The bonnet worn with this
stylish little wrap is black lace one, covered
with pale green leaves and trimmed with
ribbon bows
The remaining figure shows a mantle in
satin merveilleux, trimmed with lace and
rich Jet The lace ends terminate with jet
taSSels. The hat is a fancy gray Straw,
trimmed with velvet and ribbon.

Fashinn Notes.

The plain gold ring now, as for many years
past, remains the correct style in wedding
rings. The engagement ring permits of the
qualification of individual taste, and is usually
set with the gem most admired by the fair
fiancee.
Many of the Jewel topped hairpins have
one pin twisted and the other straight to in
sure the ornaments keeping a firm hold in the
hair. Crests and coronets Of fligree gold,
which are exceedingly popular designs for
brooches, are also employed for hairpin tops.
Black hosiery will remain in favor for gen
eral use, but colored stockings are again
chosen to match house gowns and full dress
toilets Tan or gray Isle thread or silk
stockings with tan or gray Suede slippers,
and gloves of Suede of the same color, will
still be worn with white, black or colored
dresses.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Some Familiar Rules That Are Often
ThoughtlessIy Violated.

Some Familiar Rules That Are Often
Thoughtlessly Violated.
Important though it is to know the correct
thing to do, and to do it promptly and grace
fully as occasion arises, still the most useful
social knowledge is perhaps that which
teaches the things to be avoided, and it is for
this reason that very many of the rules of
etiquette are put in negative form. Among
prohibitions which will oftenest be found
applicable are the following:
Do not write MY Dear Sir" 1t should be
''My dear Sir"
Do not turn over the end Of the visiting
card or turn down the corners. This fashion
does not now find favor.
Do not use trade terms except for trade
purposes; as posted for well informed; bal
ance for remainder.
Do not address letter TO a married lady,
Mrs. Rev. John Thomas, or Mrs DR.. Frank
Brown, nor use her own name or initials.
Mrs. John Thomas or Mrs. Frank Brown is
the current form.
Do not send verbal answer to a written
invitation.
Do not remove your glove when shaking
hands, or apologize for not doing SO. 1t is
proper to offer the gloved hand.
Do not stop acquaintance and stand in the
center of the sidewalk, forcing every one out
of the path.
Do not talk at concert or theatre during
the performance. 1t is i'll bred, though a
rudeness by no means uncommon, to thus
disturb those who wish to listen.
Do not occupy more than your rightful
share of space in omnibus or street car.
Ladies are accused of being the greatest sin
ners in this respect
Do not begin letter half way down the
page nor end it abruptly with yours" OF
''yours, etc." such phrase being rude and
ungainiy; neither is it in the best taste to abb
breviate 'affectionately, respectfully" and
like words.
Do not write the name Of street and num-
Der of house at tie bottom Of the envelope as
is sometimes done.
Do not insist upon guest being helped
twice to dish if he positively refuses once.
Do not whisper or use French or German
phrases in company if it is likely that they
will not be understood by any one.

Women who are too INDECENT or too busy
to walk or practice in a gymnasium, find in
the massage bath luxurious method of keep
ing the skin in good condition and insuring
the proper circulation of the blood. The tub
is filed with warm water, quite as hot as can
be comfortably borne, and into this is thrown
a bath bag, consisting of a little sack of
cheese cloth, loosely filed with almond meal,
powdered orris root and grated soap The
water turns soft and milky as the contents of
the bag dissolve, and the skin is rubbed with
the bag, which makes a smooth, violet per-
fumed lather, and leaves the flesh as soft as a
child's The bather is rubbed dry and rolled
in big sheet of Turkish toweling, and then
every inch of the body is carefully rubbed,
kneaded and pinched with hands moistened
in violet water, which impregnates the skin
with faint, flower like perfume. These en-
joyable manipulations tend to reduce super
fluous flesh, tighten up haccid muscles and
relieve disfgurements of outline resulting
from tight lacing.
