Glen Echo Cafe, situated about six miles
above the city on the Conduit road, was
opened with handsome banquet on Wednes-
day evening last A party of about three hun
dred gentlemen were conveyed from the city
in tally-ho coaches and other conveyances as
the guests of the Messrs. Baltzley, propretors
of the cafe, and they were handsomely
entertained during the evening. Glen
Echo is situated in one of the most
picturesque regions to be found in the
suburbs of Washington, and the building
Is entirely in keeping with the landscape.
The site of the hotel is on bluff overlooking
the canal, the river, and wide stretch of di
versfed country, and nothing can exceed the
beauty of the outlook from the building. The
latter is constructed altogether of unhewn cedar
logs, and even the interior of the structure is
finished in the same style. The architect is Mr.

NATIONAL SOLDIERS HOMES.
A Scandal Hinted at by Senator Plumb
New Managers Selected.

A Scandal Hinted at by Senator Plumb
New Managers Selected.
The Senate yesterday increased the amount
summed up as the total of appropriations for
all the national soldiers homes from 50, 2,611 700,
as fixed by the House in the Sundry Civil bill,
to 81, ,6s6,0O0.
A long and interesting discussion occurred
upon an amendment to add to the paragraph as
to the appointment of managers of the National
Home the following words: "And William B.
Franklin, of Connecticut; Thomas w. Hyde, of
Maine John G. Black, of Illinois, and George
w. Steele, of Indiana, for the terms of Office
commencing April 81, 1890, to fill vacancies oc-
casoned by the expiration of terms of office
and by the increase provided hereby"
Mr.. Plumb stated that hereafter he should
not vote to continue any manager in the board
longer than the one term of six years. He be-
lieved in the renovation of the board. The
management of the National Home was not,
he thought, as conservative, as wise, as econom-
ical as 1t ought TO be. He had in his mind one
of these soldiers homes the governor of which
was notoriously unfit for the place, and who,
by reason of his habits, of his arbitrary and
rough and brutal methods, had caused no end
of trouble. That would not have been the case
If the board of managers had been more partc-
ular in their vistations.
Mr.. Allison remarked that the Committee
on Appropriations had always in these matters
consulted the Committee on Military Affairs,
which was primarily responsible for soldiers
homes Mr.. Hawley, the chairman of the com.
mittee, had handed him (as he could not be
present yesterday an amendment proposing
the name of Lewis B. Gunckel, of Ohio, in place
of Gen. Harris who had recently died.
Mr.. Sherman spoke in complimentary terms
of Mr.. Gunckel, and also suggested the name
of s. s. Yoder, in place of that of Mr.. Steele,
who had been appointed Governor of Oklahoma,
and might, therefore, be ineligible as manager.
After further discussion the amendment was
agreed to, modified by the insertion of the
names of Mr.. Gunckel and of Mr.. Yoder. The
paragraph now appoints managers Of the
National Home Edmund N. Merrill, of Kansas
for the unexpired term Of John A. Martin, de-
ceased Alfred L. Pearson, of Pennsylvania, fol
the unexpired term of John F. Hartranft, de-
ceased Lewis B. Gunckel, of Ohio, for the un
expired term of l.. A. Harris, deceased; William
B. Franklin, of Connecticut; Thomas w. Hyde
uel S. Yoder, of Ohio.

LIEUT.. GUYS CASE.
The most Important Witness Against the

The most Important Witness Against the
officer Has Been Dead for Years.
The District Commissioners, through District
Attorney Hazelton, have formulated the charges
and specifications against Lieut. Guy, of the
police force, and the case will be called for trial
the present week, the Commissioners officiating
as trial board. The charges relate mainly to
condoning the offenses of officers found under
the influence of liquor. The only specifications
that look bad for the indicted officer are
those charging him with receiving bribes from
policy dealers. The briber is one Max Hilton,
who has been dead for several years, conse-
quently the most important link in the chain of
evidence is missing. Lieut.. Guys case is In the
hands of Lawyer II. o. Claughton, and under
his guidance the officer has concluded to hold
his peace and only make known his defense
when the proper time arrives. He says that
while the present scandal annoys and worries
him and his family, he is confident everything
will be bright and clear in the end. AS soon as
Lieut.. Guys case is out of the way the Com
missoners will proceed with the allegations

Senators ALLISON and CARLISLE say that the
Treasury is on the verge of experiencing the
strange sensations of deficit. Representative
CANNON shakes the bony forefinger of ridicule
at them and laughs the idea to scorn. At the
same time Uncle JoE's parsimony about appro-
priations increase daily, and the customary
supply of lead pencils has been cut off in the
Press Gallery. Somebody should be told off
to count the cash and have the question settled
definitely, This suspense is terrible.

Our State Business Agent gets
many letters with no postofice at

sign their names. Now and then
checks are sent that have not been en-

letters received last week, neither

"Dear Bro:-Please send list of
grocery dealers from whom we can
purchase direct.

Of course we all make mistakes.
These brethren write in a hurry. 1t is
apparent that no one can know who
to write to from the above letters.
Again VIZ say be careful, brethren.
