WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Board Of

relative to the establishment OF a hospi-
tai at Hot Springs, Ark, for disabled
soldiers, report that the Board is unani.
mously Of the opinion that the establish.
ment Of hospita! as indicated is, in
every respect, advisable for the follow
ing reason: On the thirty-dirst of De-
cember, 1889, there were above twenty
two thousand disabled soldiers cared for
in the National Home and State Homes,
OF which number about sixteen per cent
were sick in hospital; that their leading
atiliction was rheumatism, aud that a
large proportion OF them, perhaps two
thousand, would, without doubt, be
benefited by treatment at a sanitary

timony OF J. P. Showalter, deaf mute
employed at the Standard oil refinery,
given at the inquest being held by the
coroner. Sliowalter said that the morn
ing before the explosion which killed
one man and injured five others, he was
atwork in the still.house when strange
man approached him from behind and
tapped him on the shoulder. He did SO
and the fellow gave him q note telling
him that everything was liked and that
when he gave him the tip to look out.
Showalter was frightened and did not
work the next day when the explosion
took place. The strange man he had
never seen before and the supposition is
that the explosion was the work OF some
one as revenge against the company.

Ing It Out-A Gambling Case.
AT yesterday mornings session Of Pt
lice Court another striking example VII
given by Mayor Seabright OF his pecr

In tho administration Of Police Cour
justice and the enforcement Of the city
ordinances.
Last Sunday afternoon Joseph Line
weaver, a resident OF the North End
called at police headquarters aud com
planned that he had lost $2s tho night
before playing against u wheel OF fortune
at J. B. Hobstetter's saloon. According
to bis story gambling at Hobstetter's
wheel had been carried on a good pa,t
OF Saturday night and that in the most
open manner; Lineweaver stated that as
many as sixty or sixty.tve people had
been about tho wheel. -
Hobstetter's saloon is Mt No. 1881

very seldom, however, that the place is

Lineweaver wanted the police 10 get
his money back for him. He was told
that that was something that could not
be done. He then stated he would
swear out u warrant against Hob6te,ter
for allowing gambling in his place, and
his wife. who accompanied him, stated

There is an unknown man in Washing

In the south portion of the city, especially
among the ladies who attend ST. Dominick's
church. Heis no such character as Jack
the Ripper" He is handsome young man
and is known as "Jack the Kisser."
For several months this man has been
annoying young women, both married and
single, and the police have been unable to
catch him. Several times detectives have
been put upon his track, and in each
instance he has succeeded in eluding them.
Parties of men whose wives and sisters have
been the subjects of his attacks have
watched for him, but he is always on his
guard and never shows himself when there
is danger.
His practice is to secrete himself in dark
alleys or 10 the shadow of building, and.
when woman he fancies passes, to
stealthily approach her from behind,
throw his arms around her, quickly kiss
her and disappear. He offers no other
violence. He may be harmless sort of a
fellow, but he has succeeded in thoroughly
alarming the women of South Washington

The whisky Question liz CONGRESS.


There are two bills now pending in con-
gress-one in the House and the other in
the Senate-to meet the condition of affairs
that was created by the Original package"
decision of the supreme court in the Iowa
case. II there is not some legislation to
counteract the effect OF that decision all
that the prohibitionists have gained in years
of agitation will amount TO nothing AL
ready, in about all of the prohibition states,
''original package" whisky and beer shops
have been opened. In Topeka, the capitol
OF the prohibition state of Kansas, there is
said to be dozen of them. In Iowa intoxi-
ca ing liquors are sold openly in nearly all
the towns, and in Maine there is no diff
Guilty in getting beer by the bottle and
whisky by the pint quart or gallon. A
very lively business is being done III intoxi-
cants in the prohibition states, the people
seeming to have better appetite for them
than if the way for getting them had not
been blocked.
The question has arisen whether a law of
congress allowing the states to control the
''original package" liquor traffic would be
constitutional. There are good lawyers in
COuRr6SS VINO nOlu UudJ IL WOulu nOu, III
support of this view Chief Justice Marshall
and Chief Justice fancy are quoted. They
both expressed the opinion that as long as
congress permitted intoxicating liquors to be
imported the importer had the right to dis
pose Of the liquors In the original packages,
and that ''no state, either by direct assess
ment or by requiring license from the i'm
porter before he was permitted to sell, could
impose any burden on him or the property
imported beyond what the law of congress
had itself imposed"
From this it would appear that as long as
congress permits intoxicating liquors to be
imported no state can prohibit the intro
duction of such liquors within its limits.
All that it can do is to prohibit the sale of
them except in the original package.
This question is getting to be a very i'm
portant one in congress. 1t is expected
that it will be considered within a week or
two, and it is pretty certain to be tie SUBJ
ject of an interesting debate. Members of
both the Senate and the House are prepar-
ing themselves for it. and prominent pro-
hibitionists are in Washington for the pur-
pose of advising with congressman with re-
gard to it. 1t would be remarkable indeed
if supreme court decision should destroy
the whole prohibition fabric.
