THE BIOLOGICAL PARK APPROPRIATION.
The appropriation of go, 900 for the zoologi-
cal park was passed upon by the full committee
on appropriations today. They decided to rec
ommend the appropriation with an amendment
providing that the District shall pay half. The
committee argued that If it had not been the
intention Of Congress that the District should
bear half the expense of this park the provision
for it would not have been made in the District
appropriation bill. The accounting officers OF
the Treasury took the same view Of the matter
and the committee adopted the amendment
accordingly.

ECONOMICAL ACTRESSES.
How They Get Ahead Of the Hotel
Men.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Actresses get more for their money than
any other class Of people who stop at a hotel,"
said a clerk at the Leland. 'See that woman
just coming out of the dining room? She is an
opera singer. You notice she has two big
newspapers under her arm. Takes the same
papers in the dining room every day. Never
reads them. She has room on the European
plan and orders only one meal a day. But
whats big meal that is! Then she slips sand
witch and some cakes into those big newspapers.
In her hand she takes an orange. That con-
stitutes her luncheon.
the funniest arrangement for making tea and
toast in her room you ever saw. It's a minia-
ture gas stove, no bigger than a base ball.
Hitches a rubber hose TO the gas Jet, puts q
piece of bread and pot of tea on the little
stove and in jiffy her breakfast is ready. You
know you can't toast bread over a gas iet. 40
that invention is her own.
.'Then, again, she gets the best of us on
fires. She has another little gas stove. or
heater, rather. Lights gas, puts a shawl over
the transom so the light can't be seen by the
Waterman, then gets warm. She was here q
month last season before we found out WHY the
gas meter was 30 gay.
Say, but that manager is growing stoutl
week. See here, cashier; charge up No. AZ
with an extra meal Got to get even some way.
Tell you what il IL, there's nobody like Q
theatrical person for devising schemes for get
ting things without paving for them They
think it's smart too. Boast about il among
themselves; seem to think is q most creditable

EvA'S LATEST VICTIM.
Ray Hamilton's Brother Goes Into
Bankruptcy on Her Account

The curious information comes from Tren-
ton, n. j., that there is now pending before
the board OF pardons petition for the release
from the state prison Of the notorious Mrs.
Robert Ray Hamilton, who is there for carv-
ing up Nurse Donnelly at Atlantic City.
A still more curious sequel to this famous
case is the report that the failure last week Of
Schuyler Hamilton. who was engaged e.-
tensively in brick making at Croton, n. Y,
Is indirectly due 20 the fair, frail Eva His
brother, Robert Ray Hamilton, would will
ingly have helped HIM when the financial
pinch came. but could borrow no money on
ms real estate owing TO the legal complica-
lions IN which he is involved by the marriage
ceremony he went through with Eva. The
Hamilton failure also embarrassed several
other brick firms at Croton. so, IL vote
we're taken there, the New Jersey board of
pardons would find numerous advocates for
letting the sentence of the court stand in It's
full vigor.
