THE FOLLOWING CONES from The WASH
iugtou special correspondence Of the New
York Star, aud makes a mighty pretty
storyi
Ex-Governor William Pitt Kellogg is
back from Louisiana, by way Of Chicago
with an apt story Illustrating Mr.. Har-
rison's popularity among the cOlored people
Of the South. This Is the way he tells it:
81 was sitting bon my room at the st.
Charles Hotel, m New Orleans, wnen old
Dr. Lyons, who has charge of the largest
colorod church IN Carrollton, came in with
a subscription book for his church. / asked
him how much he thought ! ought TO give:
] gave it, and then said:
"Elder, what do your people think about
the Administrations
Gwen, Governor" he said, 81 will lust
tell you. NOu remember Mr.. Scott don't

store on Grayier street, and who used 10 be

had been presented by Mr. Scott with a lot
Of fine steel-plate cugrayings Of Mr. Harrl-
son, which he would sell for the benefit of
the church az 10 cents each, aud those who
could not afford 10 pay 10 cents could have
them for nickel. Up then rose an old
deacon and said;
"'Do / understand the pastor 20 say

"'Yes,i said Elder Lyons

my self, don't want none Of him. Aud an
over the church arose a chorus, We amt
got no use for him.
"TO tell the truth, Governor Elder

A LABOR MEETING.

4 small Audience Listened to Adj
dresses Last Night.
A small audience assembled in Forest
Hall, Georgetown last night to hear the
labor question discussed by well. known
agitators.
Mr. Ralph Beaumont, the first speaker,
made an interesting and stirring address.
He declared organization to be the only
means Of redress that laboring men have
for their wrongs, and vigorously de.
nounced the present system of educating
children to make money. He announced
himself as a laboriug man who was not
opposed to machinery, as he thought
machinery benefited labor and increased
the number of laborers.
Mr.. Beaumont was followed by Paul
T. Bowen, editor Of the knights If
Labor journal Mr.. Bowen complained
of the smallncss Of the audience present,
and thought Il showed a lack of interest
In the labor problem. 1t was a shame
he said that the city of Georgetown
could not turn out more persons to hear
so distinguished an orator as Mr.. Beau.

We FAIL TO SEE THE OCCASION for the

certain points, such as the intersection Of
Ninth and F streets and of Pennsylvania
avenue and Seventh, TO stand IN the fun
blaze Of the blistering sun. Il is very inn
pOrlant, Of course, that the fast anu recs-
lees driving on our crowded streets should
be checked, hut it seems 10 US that this con
summation can be achieved without adopt

VICTIMS OF THE BLIZZARD.
Lives Lost and Thousands Of Cattle Perish
of Starvation.
by telegraph to the DIspatch.l

TACOMA, VASE. January 2l.-At least ten
human beings and thousands of cattle and
sheep persisted in the blizzard which began
with the year and ragged over Washington
for week. Reports from COlville reserya-
ton are to the effect that cattle are dying
by hundreds from starvation and thirst
and that the ground is covered with over
two feet of snow on level and in some
places is drifted mountain high. The
keeper of the stage station twelve miles
from Alma started to walk to the town
last Thursday, and Sunday his body was
found on the prairie only mile from his
home frozen stiff. The inall-carrier at
Wild Goose Greek persisted on the same day,
and eight cattlemen are known to have
lost their lives in the storm. The cattle
men estimate that they will loose one half
of their herds this season.

Train-Robbers' Work.

EULAHE CALF, January 21.-The south
bound passenger train was stopped this
morning by two masked men seven miles
north of here. The robbers climbed over
the tender to the engine and compelled
the engineer and fireman to go with them
and ordered the expressman to open the
door. The amount taken is not known,
but it is rumored to be several thousand
dollars. The robbers made the engineer
and fireman accompany them some dis
lance from the train. A tramp st ealing a
ride was mistaken for trainman, and the
robbers shot him in the head. He was
brought here and may recover. There is
no trace of the robbers.
