MANY THEORIES; FEW FACTS.
Belle Browns Disappearance Still
Shrouded In Mystery.

humors and theories concerning the mys-
FERROUS disappearance Of Belle Brown continue
to reach the ears of detectives who are investi-
eating the case, 1t is now nearly two
weeks since the girl left her home and 80
far as is known not single definite clue con-
corning her has been obtained. Her father ID
as firm as ever in the belief that she is dead
while the detectives are equally certain that she
Is alive.
THE LATEST CLUE
received by Messrs. McDevitt and Flinders was
from a woman who, it is claimed, is able to al
least throw some light on the case if not en-.
tirely clear away the mystery surrounding it.
Detective McDevitt had some idea that the
clue was good one and he left his Office early
IN the day to investigate it. Exactly what il
was could not be learned, but it is said that the
woman who furnished it lives near the south
end OF the Long bridge, in Virginia.
Mr.. Brown, the missing girls father, was out
early this morning and is probably with Mr..
McDevitt looking into the supposed clue fur.
nished by the woman.
A GIRL MOURNING AS TO THE FARE TO NEW YORK.
This afternoon Detective Wheeler received
information that q colored woman named Julia
Diggs, who is employed at the Balti.
more aud Potomac depot, saw girl
at that depot on the Thursday
that Belle disappeared. The girl, she said, an.
swered Bellies description. She was standing
On the platform at the time and inquired of the
woman what the fare was to New York.
THE STORY OF THE GRAVE
found on Swartz's farm was investigated yes
terday by Sergeant Hess Of the Georgetown
police station. The sergeant found what
looked like an old grave that had been filled
apo prepared for resodding, but he has no idea
that Belle Browns body is in it.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT,

IS IT LEGAL TO DENY LIQUOR LICENSES TO WOMEN.
Attorneys Mattingly and Wolf waited upon
the Commissioners this morning and made a
long Argument against the clause in the new
liquor regulations which provides that licenses
shall not be issued to women. They questioned
the legal right of the Commissioners to make
such q law. and said that they might as well
deny a man the privilege Of selling liquor be-
cause his skin was black. At the request OF
Commissioner Hine they promised to present
to the board a written argument which the lat
ter will give immediate Consideration.
The Commissioners considered the matter
among themselves and determined to submit
the question to Attorney Riddle for his opinion
as to whether they had exceeded their power
in regard to that clause prohibiting q woman
from having retail license.

Footgear orNations.

The Egyptians had shoes or sandals
mnde ordinarily of leather, but some
times of palm leaves or papyrus.
Chinese persons Of rank wear boots
with thick soles and legs OF tiue cloth
or silk that reach halfway up to the
knee.
The japanese in their houses wear
LIGHT shoes or shippers, with woven
soIes without heels, or else 20 in their
stocking-faet.
Wooden shoes, or sabots, are worn
now among the peasants in many
countries ia Europe. Their advantage
is i'm their cheapucss and durability.
Among the Southern Indians, where
no protection is needed from the cold,
a shoe is made consisting simply Of q
sole of thick hide bound on the feet by
thongs.
There are a variety of boots and
shoes used i'm China. The common shoe
is made of thick, heavy felt, with 3
still thicker sole made of woven straw
or layers of felt
In the sixteenth century boots were
generally worn In England and France
