Judge J Blair Hoge, United States dis
,rict attorney for the District OF Columbia,
has prepared his resignation, which is to
take effect the lst of March. This action he
decided upon when he learned few days
ago that the President was anxious to make
change in the Office Judge Hoge was not
at the City Hall yesterday, being confined
To his apartments in the Portland Flats 10y
sickness. He says that he knows nothing
of the causes for the Presidents action, but
is perfectly satisfied to retire now rather
than in the winter months when his term
expires
There was much regret expressed by menu
bers of the bar seen by Post reporter at
Judge Hoge's enforced resignation, the opin-
ions coming from members of both political
parties. They all said that they held Judge
Hoge in the highest esteem, and that he was
about TO resign was to them a great surprise.
The matter, they said, has not been consid-
cred by them.
r Ross Perry said: Il thought that Judge
Hoge would have been retained in office I'M
til the expiration of his term, which, |
think, will be in February next. Judge
Hoge Is a man of solid learning and of high
legal acquisitions. He was Judge in West
Virginia. and has always been held in high
esteem by members of the District bar.
Withal he was very modest man, and
probably did not push himself as some in
his position might have done.
Il have always entertained high esteem
for Judge Hoge. said Hon. A. G Riddle;
ex-district attorney for the District, ''and
his traits of character have elected NV adj
miration. had hopes that he would have
been permitted to serve out his term.
In speaking of the matter Representative
Wilson said Zone who knows Judge Hoge
will not believe for an instant that he has
not discharged faithfully and intelligeutly
all the duties of his office. Any limitations
or allegations to the contrary are disingen
uous aud contemplate. There can be no
reason for his removal at this time, except
that his place is wanted for some hungry
Republican. l. is di-gracefu for the ad
mins,ration to attempt to excuse or justify
its action on the pretext that Judge Hoge
has not made an efficient and conscientious
District Attorney. 1t is disgraceful to re-
move him before the completion of his term
OF Office after Mr. Cleveland's courtesy in
allowing his predecessor to retain MS place
until his commission had expired"
Judge Hoge said that the President had
asked for his resignation and he had hand
ed it in, to take effect the first of March
lie was not at all sorry to give up The Of

A Murderer's Skull That Produced
Quaims of Terror.
From the Philadelphia Times.1
Our talk had drifted into a discussion as
to the value of certain chronological theo-
ries then much spoken of.
"Here, "said my friend, sis skull that I
want you to look at. I have given much
time and thought to certain facts connect
ed with it."
I took the bleached relic of mortality
in my hand and looked at it with amaze
ment.
''Do you say that this once belonged
to being with human and normal facul-
ties? I never saw q skull so fiat in my
life. 1t might have been the head of a tom
cat"
"That belonged to one of the worst
men that I believe ever existed-Arthur
Spring"
"Good heavens! 1 saw him in prison,
and I remember we'll the shape of his
head"
It was smaller than the average, protu-
berant over the eyes where are the seats
of practical perception, strongly marked in
beasts of prey but, eatirely deficient in
these higher organs by which we reason,
imagine and construct But behind the
ears the animal reigns supreme in the i'm
| mense width of skull.
While 1 looked at it began to recall the
lineaments, the livid skin, the cavernous
eye sockets filled with dull read light, and
behind lurked the demon-ike look sugges-
tive of murder and DEATH And now comes

fear is stealing over me. am benumbed

MARRIAGE BELLS
A Yale Professor Joins the Ranks OF
the Henedfefz.

A Yale Professor Joins the Ranks of
the Benedicts.
The house of Judge Luzon B. Morris, at
$50 Prospect, was beautifully decorated
last evening with flowers in honor of the
wedding of his daughter, Miss Helen n.
Morris, to Professor Arthur T. Hadley of
Yale. The ceremony took place at 6
o'clock, only the immediate relatives and
friends of the contracting parties being
present. 1t was performed after the Con-
gregational form by President Dwight of
Yale, assisted by the Rev. DR.. Smyth of
Center church.
Miss Mamie Ba5bott, granddaughter
of Judge Morris, and his two little grand
sons, Morris Pratt and Theodore
Pratt, acted as fower-bearers. The
bride was attired in an elaborate Pari-
tifu1ly embroidered with flowers. A re-
ception was held at the house after the
ceremony, at which were present most of
the members of the faculty, the members
of the Colby club, of which Prof. Hadley
was president, the members of the Satur-
day Morning club, of which Miss Morris
was a member, and all of the "Bones" men
of the class to which Prof Hadley belong
ed when at college.
Music was furnished by Stacks orches-
ira, and refreshments were served by P.
Marrisi of New York. The wedding pres
ents were numerous and very handsome,
particularly those received from the vari-
Gus organizations to which the parties be-
longed.
After the reception Prof. and Mrs.
Hadley started on their wedding trip.
They will go to New York, and during the
latter part of the week will sail for Europe,
where they will remain, visiting various
places of interest during Prof. Hadley's
summer vacation, returning home prior to
the commencement of the fall term of
Yale in September. Upon their return to
New Haven they will reside at Prof. Had
ley's present residence, No. SO Whitney
avenue.
The bride is prominent in society in this
city and a general fsvorite in the circles in
which she moves. Professor Had1ey has a
wide reputation as professor of political
economy at Yale and he has also written
several books on the subject.

THE ORDINANCE COMMITTEE.
An Ordinance Recommended Against
Pest Houses.

All VTuAAduCe ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Against
Pest Houses.
Three members of the street committee
appeared before the ordinance committee
to request that personal notice to persons
ordered to relay sidewalks be hereafter
abolished. The matter was tabled for
further action.
They recommended an ordinance which
was presented by Alderman Hamilton,
which was in effect that the using of
any pest house for tenement purposes be
prohibited and that all such houses be
condemned and destroyed by the fire
marshal. Mr.. Hamilton appeared in the
interest of residents on Norton street in
reference to the old pest house recently
bought from the town by A. M. Holmes.
Alderman Chandler advocated an ordiA-
ance for the watering of all top dressed
streets and was opposed by ex-Alderman
Kennedy, who affirmed it would be unfair
to the whole city for the advantage of a
few. The matter was tabled.
