Capsized on Horseback.

Horseback riding is INDUCED in quite
generally about Washington by both la
dies and gentlemen this spring, and
among them are quite number of nov
ices. At present there is at least one
young lady in town who is busily en-
gagged in regretting that she ever at
tempted to learn the equestrian sport.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
there is also certain young man not a
thousand miles from the city who wishes
that he had not been so previous in TAX
ing his best girl out for a ride in the
country until he knew more about her
ability to manage horse. Both have
tried to hush the matter up. but the
story has leaked out
The above mentioned young man, who
Is quite well known in society, took this
young lady out for ride one morning.
AS is frequently the case with those bent
upon this sort of pleasure, they chose to
go up in the neighborhood of Pierce's
mill All went well until they reached
point above the mill where the road
crosses Rock creek The bridge at
this place was washed out year ago
and has never been replaced. There
was plenty of evidence that other people
on horseback were l.. the habit of ford
ing the stream just above where the
bridge had stood. The young man,
therefore, put his horse through the
creek and found no difficulty in so doing.
His companion, seeing that all was
well, refined her horse into the water and
passed the first half of the ford safely
enough. But she allowed the animal to
go little below the regular ford, The
horse struck deeper water, and persisted
in going further down the stream. Then
suddenly, without warning, the beast
either stumbled or deliberately rolled
over, and the fair rider was spilled head
long into the water Luckily she went
over on the left side, so that she had no
difficulty in disengaging her foot from
the stirrup; but the swiftness of the
current was such that before she could
recover it had rolled her over two or
three times down the stream. The young
man CALAMITY came to the rescue of his
companion before anything more serious
than complete drenching had hap
pened, but it may be safely assumed
that all equestrian exhibitions by this
couple hereafter will not be of the
aquatic order, but will be confined
strictly to land. Washington Post.

and maximum OF good looks and good
breeding that captivated society and dis
armed criticism.
From her very first appearance under
the auspices of and in the company with
the very actress whose place she is des-
tined to fill, there were abundant signs
of a passionate heart and good judgment,
as well as fair face, rich voice and a
noble presence. She was woman as
well as queen. She made her emphatic
success as Clarice in Gilbert's COMEDY
and Tragedy" Miss Nelson is in her
early twenties, has a good social and
financial backing, is an indefatigable
student and is today within measurable
distance Of being a fine actress.-Ex-

is different with different nations. Not
more than four nations accept the legend
that she was made from a mans rib.

the heavens, and the Australians that
she was first toadstool.-Detroit Free

Mattings should be swept carefully
and wiped off after each sweeping with a
cloth wrung out of salt and water. They
will not then need cleaning at the end of
the season. 1t is next to impossible to
renew the freshness of mating which
has not been taken proper care of.

ATLANTIC Cry. n. J., July 1.-Two
well known citizens of Washington fig
ured as the principals in a lively tussle in
a barber shop here today, and as a result
Il spicy piece of scandal has been brought
to light. The men are j. f.. Manning.
proprietor of the Monumental marble
works, and Kavanaugh X. Kennedy, a
81, 600 clerk In the pos;ofice department.
They have been Oh bad terms Tor the past
four years, and came face to face for the
first time since a sensational episode es-
tranged them. Manning had Just been
shaved, and on reaching for his coat came
in contact with Kennedy, who sprang up
and struck him a singing blow in the
face. They clinched and fought like
Il gers Tor a lew minutes, creating couster-
nation among the tonsorial artists, upset
ting chairs, show cases and mir
rors. Manning had the best of
1t. and finally threw Kennedy,
~dislocating bis collar bone. They
were now rolling on the floor and when
the police arrived they had to tug ener-
getically at the savage contestants to get
them apart. When taken to the city hall
Nenheuy was nelu IN S0OO pail on q
charge OF assault and battery. His wife
was present and offered collateral for the
bail, but the justice refused it and Kenne-
dy is still behind the bars. Manning fur
nished $500 bail to appear at the trial to-
morrow morning. Kcnnedy's wife is the
granddaughter Of John Rowan of Ken
lucky. who was senator from Henry
Clay's district for three terms. and later
minister to France. Her father is the
veteran Commodore Reed of the navy.
Kennedy halls from Oxford, Miss, and
claims to be a protege of Chief Justice
Lamar, who appointed him to his present
position while a cabinet officer. The
trouble between Kennedy and Manning
dates back four years. when the former
showed too much affection for Manning's
nurse girl.

LONDON, July s.-Adyices have
reached Cairo that the famine which has
for some time past prevailed in the Sou
dan is increasing rapidly. Thousands of
natives are without food of any kind and
the reported number of deaths from
starvation is appalling. With the reports
of this dreadful state of affairs come hor-
rible stories of cannibalism, which is also
said to be on the increase. 1t was re-
ported not long ago that the dead were
being eaten by the famished survivors,
but the present advices represent matters
as still worse. 1t is now asserted that
large numbers of men, women and chill
dren were deliberately put to death that
they may serve as food for their
frenzied companions. Relief has been
extended to these unhappy people as far
as possible, but not sufficiently to allay
the terrible suffering in the interior set

special from Pierre, S. D., says: News
from the Cheyenne Indian agency con
firms the surmises of trouble at this
point. About 1000 Indians are at the
agency and created a disturbance today
when they found hat no rations could be
issued until Tuesday. The delay was
caused by the fact that the cattle were
not driven in from the rapge, thus leav-
ing the Indians almost starving from
Monday until tomorrow. The Indians
also object to being counted IN the census,
and the census will be taken with great
difficulty. The condition of the Indians
is deplorable. Yesterday twelve died of

overioyed at finding her. assured her of
his forgiveness. The pretty runaway
said she was already tired of life as a
hired girl, and Guardian Wright gave her
employers ave minutes notica and escorted
her triumphantly to the Hollenden.
