THE stockholders in the Eiffel tower
enterprise are feeling blue just now in
consequence of the steady diminution
Of their receipts. In the season now
closing Go, 900 francs were taken in.
The cost of keeping the tower open was
$50, 900 francs and 800, 900 francs were
spent for repairs. Next season the
small profit of this season viii be
wiped out, it is expected, and a con-
siderable deficit will appear in place of
it. In view of this probability les, 900
francs were reserved for future use
from the profits of the exhibition year.
A COUPLE who had not been long in
AIillville, Pa, decided at social party
that marriage in jest" would be pro-
ductive OF great fun; so they were
welded by a sedate-looking gentleman,
who proved to be a justice Of the peace.
To their amazement they discovered
that the knot had been legally tied.
They determined to stand by the cere-
mony, and to make the alliance still
more satisfactory, they we're remarked

GRAND BALL OF DEAF MUTEs.
The Dancers Could Neither Hear Nor
Speak, but They Enjoyed Themselves.

Lyric hall, in New York, was occupied last
night by some three hundred and fifty stylishly
dressed ladies and gentlemen, who managed to
have thoroughly good time, extending into
the small hours of the morning. without Q
word being spoken during the entire time.
1t was a grand ball given by the Deaf Mutes'
union leagne. With but few exceptions all
present were similarly afflicted The league Is
a social organization composed of twenty-five
young men, graduates of the institution for the
improved instruction of deaf mutes 1t may be
mentioned that this school teaches only the
articulation system and does not encourage the
making of signs. but the mutes will prefer the
signs because they are quicker to learn and
to use.
Many deaf mutcs from other states were
present Prof Bell the inventor of the tele-
phone, who was at one time a teacher of deaf
mutes and whose wife thus afflicted, was
present. Members of three deaf mute socie-
DISCRIMINATION literary association, the GalIau-
Diet club of Brooklyn and the society of silent
workers-were also present There was ban
quet with speeches"

Miss Cammerer is Better Now.

Miss Lenchen Cammerer of No. l4O7 North
18th street, Philadelphia, has entirely recovered
from the attack of nervous prostration brought
on by the exciting incidents attending the trial
Of her suit against Clemens Muller.
Il was not always at the trial, she said yes
terday in an interview, because my attendance
was not necessary, but when / did go was
stared out of countenance. One person would
nudge another and say something like There
she is or That's Miss Cammerer.' When 1
was on the witness stand 1t was simply awful.
All eyes were riveted on me and was ready to
faint 1t was utterly indescribably horrid.
Ny lawyer, Daniel Dougherty, did nobly. 1t
was the first time i ever met Col Ingersoll
The verdict shows how the Jury regarded his
declaration that somebody had lied in this
trial"
''of course you are satisfied with the result"
suggested
MISS Lenchen smiled happily. Slowly and
with determination she said: L regard the
verdict in the light of vindication, don't your
was greatly shocked by the publicity given
the case and one Philadelphia paper printed
an awful story about me. Now, should have
thought the Philadelphia papers would have
treated Philadelphia girl better. I am pas
sionately fond of music and may 20 abroad and

1T is HARD ON THE POOR.
The Cold Snap Increases Their Suffer
ings-Need for Fuel and Food.

The snow is likely to increase the sufferings
OF the poor and to enlarge the list Of applicants
for relief There are many poor people in
various sections of the city who, while they can
get enough food, find themselves unable to
provide fuel to keep their houses warm. Many
Of their dwellings are loosely constructed and
dilapidated frame structures, and it would take
q large amount Of fuel to keep them warm.
The police have not so far had so many applica-
tions for assistance this winter as usual, prob
ably because Of the mild weather, which en-
abled laborers to do outdoor work. There
have been applications received for money
to pay rent with, but there is no
money provided for such purpose
A better class of persons have applied to the
police for aid this season than during past win
tiers. The reason for it is probably the change
OF administration and the loss of positions by
government employees.
There is usually more suffering in South
Washington than in any other section. In that
part OF the city known as .'Bloodfield" theie
are many large families of negroes. The police
say that most of the applicants from that Sec
ton OF the city are colored people. In the
sixth precinct there are many applicants. The
eighth precinct also contains many poor per-
sons. In the northwestern section of the city
there are fewer applicants than IN any other
section. Should the present sharper weather
continue any length of time the police antici-
pate heavy run on the poor fund, which is
not very large.
Should there prove to be much suffering
among the poor the police will receive and DIS
tribute to the needy such articles OF food and
fuel as may be contributed by the charitable
Chief Clerk Sylvester has shut down on the
persons who seem to imagine that the govern
ment owes them a living and who seek a por-
ton OF the poor fund regularly every winter.
Among them are persons who are able to earn
their own living, but who call for the money
because they think it good chance to get
money without working for it. Now they will
have to hustle

NO LOSS WITHOUT SOME GAIN.
A Decrease of 500, 900 in Johnstown's
Taxable Property.

ID. A. McGough. county commissioners clerk
at Johnstown, has made a statement of the de-
crease of taxable property in the flooded dis
trict. Ii shows that the taxable property at
the time of the flood was valued at over
s3,000,000, and at the present time 81 800, 600,
decrease of 100000, but at least ESQ.,, 900 worth
has been constructed since. The food made
fatal loss to the personal and real estate Of
Sl,0o0,000. This, however, does not include
the loss of corporations, which would swell the
grand total to 1900, 900 or S3,0OO,OO0.
1t also shows that at the present time there
are /, l64 houses less than on May 81, which,
added to the 500 which have been constructed
since that time, would make the total i,664
houses destroyed in the food, the second ward
OF Johnstown borough alone losing l79 dwelling
houses and the first ward 1879, while woodyale
did not have a single house left out of l36, as
also did not the first ward of Milville out OF ~

Proposed Amendment of the Existing
Laws to be Submitted to Congress.


Assistant Attorney for the District s. T.
Thomas. acting upon the recommendation of
the Commissioners, today prepared bill to
amend the license laws Of the District in regard
to dealers in junk and secondhand clothing.
The present law, Mr.. Thomas SAYS defines
junk dealer to be person whose business is to
buy and sell old iron, rags, &c. There is a case
in the General Term now Cd. c. V. Cohen). in
which the attorney for the defendant makes the
point that inasmuch as his client purchased his
junk in New York he may sell it here without
a license; holding that in order to convict it
must be shown that the defendant buys and
sells here. The following is the BILL which will
be transmitted to Congress at an early day:
That the act of the legislative assembly of the
District of Columbia approved August %, 1871,
entitled an act imposing a license on trades,
business or professions carried on in the Dis
trlct OF Columbia, be and the same is hereby
amended as follows:
by striking out all Of paragraph 80 of Sec
non II or said act and inserting In lieu thereof
the following:
Junk dealers and dealers in second hand
personal property of any kind or description
whatsoever, shall pay to the District of Column
bia license tax of $40 annually. Every person

A Talk With Sir Arthur Sullivan.

Sir Arthur Sullivan arrived at the Hotel Met
ropole, Monte Carlo yesterday. Being inter-
viewed he said: II was too tired to sail with
Mr.. Carte. If it had been two months later /
certainly should have accompanied him. The
explanation of the i'll success of "The Condo
hers" company in New York is very simple. 1t
comes about entirely from incomplete re-
hearsals, and they were the result Of our en-
forced haste to produce our piece before the
the pirates got at it. Outside Of The Mikado'
and Patience we never made q profit in
America A horde of companies stand ready
there to pirate everything we have. II your
people would give US a copyright then we could
hope to make our ventures in your country

What John f. Ellis & Co. Say. .

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
WASHINGTON, January g.
Permit us, in reply to a communication in
your paper signed Clio, to state that the rule
quoted was not intended to restrict the sale of
tickets, but to prevent speculation. We could
not have carried out the rule literally without
jeopardizing the financial success of the enter
tainment seriously injuring our business and
mountaineering the public. By close mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation any one can ascertain how
long such a sale as that conducted by us on
Tuesday would last if we had required all
ticket buyers to be personally present.
The largest average of tickets purchased by
each one in line for his own use would be
five. and the time consumed in selecting, &c.
three minutes; number of tickets ON sale, 2, 1874:
time about TWENTY-FIVE hours and, as we only
sell ten hours a day, the queue Of buyers sew
eralsquares long would have to stand in line all
this time and all night besides if they wished
TO keep their turn.
Our doors were closed all the time of sale.
as we were compelled to admit only such
number as our store would accommodate until
those purchasing passed out and made room
for others to enter in turn. Plenty of good
seats remained unsold after the rush was over;
plenty were on hand even yesterday, and, at
this time Of writing Q1:S0 am. }, there are be-
tween 500 and 600 tickets for sale. We are sure
that not single ticket was purchased for specu-
lation. JOHN F. ELLIS d Co.,
