Notes and Comments.

continued from ItnW page.
A genuine Glove feastn of the holders of
Merganthaer stock was held last night at the
Office of the chairman of the pool to consider
the question, so the call for the meeting stated,
of continuing the pool at its expiration in
March next. This subject, however, seemed to
somehow get lost in the general discussion
which followed an offer made by some unknown
Boston parties to buy in the neighborhood of
10000 shares, if SO much could be had in one
block at a slight advance over the price paid in.
OF course, proposition so dazzling in its sig
nifcance failed to meet with any favorable re-
sponse and a count of noses failed to discover
out of something like twelve thousand shares
represented more than fifteen hundred
for sale. resolution was offered that a
committee of five be appointed to
consider ways and means to merge the Morgan
thaler and Topographic companies into one and
increase the capitalization to $5000000, mil
lion more or less seeming to be considered as
mere bagatelle in the discussion. In the mean
time the monthly call of seventy-tive cents per
share will go on with the usual unfailng regu-
larity, and the price Of the stock will hardly
reach the amount paid in. The condition of
the company was reported as being very favor
able, and the two hundred machines now in
course of construction would be rapidly fur
nished with the beginning Of the next year.

Department..

The Demand to Be Met by the Treasury
Department..
In order to meet as far as possible the present
heavy demand for notes of small denomina-
tions Secretary Window has decided to issue
Ten, five, and one-dollar Treasury notes in ex-
change for Treasury notes of larger denomina-
tions. Owing to the limited time allowed to pre-
parefor the execution of the Silver bill it was
found necessary at first to confine the issue of
notes authorized by that act to notes of large
denominations. The consequence is that nearly
all the notes now in circulation through silver
purchases are of the denominations of $500 and
$1,000, principally the latter They aggregate
about $lS,000,00O. The United States Treas
urer has now on hand about $40, ,O0O, 600 in one,
five, and ten-dollar Treasury notes and the
Secretary has directed that they be exchanged
or the larger notes on presentation. The sup
ply of ones and fves is, however, very small
ust at present, and the exchanges will tempo
rarly be confined principally to tens. Here
after small notes will also be principally used
in making the silver purchases instead of large
notes and it is hoped in short time to have
supply OF them sufficient to meet all reasonable
demands.

Burning OF the Glen Echo Cafe.

Every one around town yesterday was ex-
pressing regret at the destruction of the beau
tiful new Glen Echo Hotel, above Georgetown.
Fire was discovered in the hotel shortly after 2
O'Clock yesterday morning, and in a short time
the entire building, with all the furniture was
consumed. The guests, numbering fifteen, had
narrow escape in their night clothes. The
loss on the building is estimated at $S5, 600; in
surance, $4, 600. The hotel was built of rough
heWn cedar logs, and was one of the most
unique structures Of its kind in the country.

AT least half a dozen Democratic statesmen
will tomorrow begin regular training in public

three months will be watched with keen in

nearly resembling those of the present Speaker.

PuDllo Debt-Apparent increase.

1t is estimated at the Treasury Department
that the public debt, less cash in the Treasury,
has been increased about "a, 900 900 since the
lst instant, due principally to the heavy pay
ments during the month. The receipts for the
ments $50, 100000, There has, of course, been a
reduction in the bonded Indebtedness to the
extent of the bonds redeemed and Cancelled.

The developments of the past week in the
PARNELL affair have left the Irish Nationalist
party in deplorable condition. Not only has
its alliance with the English Liberals been dis
rupted but the Irish Nationalist themselves
seem to be hopelessly divided on the question
of further following the leadership of PARNELL.
What the outcome of the affair will be it is hard
to say now, but it seems scarcely possible that
it can be otherwise than disastrous to the cause
of home rule Mr.. PARNELL has revealed traits
of character under the pressure of his Difficult
ties that have surprised his well-wishers and
turned from him many who otherwise might
have been willing to condone his offense in
gratitude for his past services to his country.
On the other hand others of the Irish leaders
have not displayed the discretion and calmness
that might have been expected at such pain
full and critical moment from thoughtful and
unselfsh patriots. Altogether, they have made
mess of it and undone the work of years in a
week.

The South Carolina farmers who have put
their hands to the political plow in that State
show not the slightest symptoms of looking or
turning back. They completely revolutionized
things in the organization of the State Legisla-
ture, and in undertaking the responsibilities of
government seem to have the confidence Of
men who feel they are inspired. Those whom
they have rudely displaced naturally feel dark
forebodings asto the effect on the administration
Of the public affairs of the State of the accession
of these tyr os, but it is likely these forebodings
are not well founded. The difficulties which
are bound to beset the new men will give them
pause in their enthusiastic career of so-called re-
form, and as the responsibilities of administra-
tion weigh more and more heavily on them
they will be forced to recognize that they must
in measure endeaVor to represent the whole
people. If Senator HAMPTON is set aside for
Col. IRBY, the less will be South Cardinals
and not Senator HAMPToN's, who can better
afford to retire on the laurels he has won during
his long career in the service of the State than
the State can afford TO lose him.

Although Germany has a navy that ranks
high among the great navies of the world she
will build three new ironclads, a cruiser, a
despatch boat, and several torpedo boats the
coming year, at a cost of many millions of
marks to her already tax-ridden people, while
her army expenses will be increased by 25 OO0 900
marks. When the vast expenditures of money
and human energy annually made to maintain
the war establishments of the nations are con-
sidered it is enough to make the most belliger-
ent hope eagerly for the day when the platform
of the Universal Peace Union shall be adopted
throughout civilization and warfare among
nations be looked upon as dueling between in
dividuals now is in Anglo-Saxon countries.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is not wondering these
days as much as formerly at the prospect that
Democratic members of the Kansas Legislature
contemplated voting to send Mr.. INGALLS, back
to the United States Senate. The confidential
letter to a prominent Kansas Democrat in
which Mr.. CLEVELAND expressed his surprise
that members of his own party could vote for
such bitter Republican as INGALLS, was i'm
mediately made public by the Kansas Democrat
who received it. After this, perhaps, Mr.
CLEVELAND will not be so easily surprised at
anything Kansas Democrat may do, and if he
is will refrain from expressing it in a conf
dental letter. The deadly parallel isn't cir
cumstance in its destructiveness to the conf
dental communication unexpectedly sprung in
public.

Congress will resume business at the old stand
tomorrow, and the session is likely to be fully

paratyely small number Of members of the
House now in the city seems to indicate that
those who predicted the Republicans would
have hard time to keep quorum of their
own here through the session were correct.
There are not many men in the House who have
incomes for which they are not obliged to work,
and while serving in Congress most of these
men have more or less seriously neglected their
regular business or profession. Those Of
them who were defeated in the recent elections
will naturally be disposed to begin taking up
the loose ends of their private affairs as soon as
possible, so that their incomes will not be too
heavily scaled down when their Congressional
salaries cease on the 4th Of March next 1t will

occasionally in which smell is perverted, 80 that
some unpleasant imaginary odor is constantly
complained of. One patient so affected was con-
stanty troubled by an offensive smell of burnt
leather, and the life of another was made mser-
able by the imaginary smell Of rotten fish,
When smell is materially impaired the sense OF
taste also suffers to some extent, losing its deli

on Thursday evening. There were
present large assemblage of rail-
road men and their friends. After
some excellent music by the or
chestra, the meeting was called to
order by Mr.. Charles Schwenke of
this place, who in a pleasing man
ner called attention TO the fact that
the associations between Mr.. Nor
ris and the employees had always
been of the most pleasant charac-
ter, and then introduced Mr. l.. M.
Jewett of ~ thens, the orator of the
evening. Mr.. Jewett having first
called Mr.. Norris to the stage, in
an eloquent and witty speech, pre-
sented him with the valuable token
of esteem, presented by of the en-
ployes of the road.

Did Jenl,,,e d,Arc Burng

The reproduction, with Sarah Bern
hardt in the leading role, of the play of
Jeanne dare" in Paris, has given oc-
casion for a renewal of the old contro-
versy as to whether Jeanne was ever
really burned at the stake or whether her
place was not taken by some one else
and she set free. One NJ. Lesigne has
brought together in book all the facts
tending to show that Jeanne never was
burned, and that she actually married a
country gentleman in Lorraine and
raised a large family, of whom there
were direct descendants as late as a CEN
tury ago
The stories were first put into circula-
ton in 1888 in publication called Mer-
cure Gallant, and were then based upon
discoveries made by certain Father
Vignier among some old manuscripts in
Metz. The first document was record
of the visit Of Jeanne, the Maid of Or
leans, to her relatives in that city, and
subsequently there was discovered mar
riage contract of Robert des Armoises
with "Jeanne of Arc, the Maid of Or
leans" the marriage having taken place
at Arlon, where the Duchesse Elizabeth
of Luxembourg made splendid rete of
the occasion.
The deed in which the "AIaid" and her
husband conveyed certain land was also
found, and subsequently at Orleans i'll
the public archives there were discovered
various entries in the public accounts
that went to show that moneys had been
paid to her or for her to her relatives at
various times after she was supposed to
have been burned at the stake. These
documents have made it absolutely Ger
tain that somebody who was known as
Jeanne dare and "The Maid of Or
leans" was living and somewhat of pub
lie character for many years after the
original Jeanne had presumably been re-
duced to ashes. The advocates of the
original Jeanne, however, insist that the
woman to whom the documents refer
must have been different one, either an
impostor or a woman whom some con-
nection with the army had caused the
people of her acquaintance to designate
by the title of the dead heroine. New
