HARD TO EXPLAIN
The Attraction Washington
Has for EXcurSiOnists.
The National Capital Very Dull
This Summer.

Congress Is Not In Session, the President
Is Away, and the White House Is Alb
solutely Closed to the Public, Owing
to Extensive Repairs-But Still They
Come just the Same.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Dull as is the
capital, it is the Mecca of hundreds of
persons, and strolling through the de-
partments one sees every day whole
groups of excursionists taking in the
sights. To those who are within few
hours ride Of Washington, and who can
come here with little or no trouble or
expense, it is hard to explain the won
derful fascination that Washington has
for people living at distance. The
charm lies not alone in the beauty of
the city or the grandeur of its buildings,
but rather in the fact that it is the seat
of the government, and that from
Washington out this vast country is
governed The people are anxious
to merely look at the Capitol, to stand in
the supreme court room, to wander
through the department buildings, to
stroll through the White House, even
though they know that congress is gone,
that the president is away, and that
only small minority of the cabinet off
GERS are at their posts.
1t seems only kindness to those who
intend coming to Washington from a
distance to suggest to them that they
had better postpone their visit for a
month. The White House is absolutely
closed. Very extensive and elaborate
repairs are being made, and the house is
in such condition that absolutely no
strangers are permitted to enter it.
Every day the watchman in charge of
the executive mansion is besieged by
strangers who tell them that they have
Travelled hundreds of miles, and beg for
a glance at the White House. So, too,
in the other buildings. The Capitol is
equally topsy -turvy, the supreme court
room is locked and to come to Wash
ington at the present time will only end
in bitter disappointment. The proper
time to see Washington is in the winter,
when congress is in session. when the
hotels are thronged with the leading pol
iticians of the country, when day and
night there are receptions, private and
official, and when, in one word, the gov
ernment wheels are revolving in all their
pomp and grandeur.

AMERICAN PORK IN FRANCE.
There Is a Bright Prospect of the Re-

There Is a Bright Prospect of the Re-
scinding of the Prohibition of
PARIS, July IA council of minis
ters was neld at the Elysee palace Sat
urday to discuss the recsinding of the de-
cree against American pork. M. Develle,
the minister of agriculture, advocated
the withdrawal of the prohibition. He
asked NJ. Constans if the ministers
doubted the expediency of directing the
superior council of hygiene to make an
examination and report on the subject.
NJ. Constans and M. Ribot also favored
recinding the decree. 1t was agreed to
refer the matter to TO the council OF
hygiene. United States Minister Reid is
pressing for prompt decision in the
matter, if possible before the adjourn
ment of the chamber of deputies, now
expected within ten days. Mr.. Viger,
deputy chairman of the subcommittee
ON customs, says the superior council OF
agriculture will also consider the ques-
tion. He is a member of the council,
which has been supplied with infor1na-
ton as TO the United States meat inspec-
ton regulations, and says he will do
what he can to get the decree abolished.
DIR Pletra Santa, secretary of the
society of hygiene, different body from
the official council of hygiene, but hav-
ing much influence there, joins in the eff
forts to Tescind the prohibition. Reports
received here that the German govern
ment is about to withdraw the prohibi-
ton in Germany ought TO hasten French
action.

Shs Died Within the Time Specified and
the Coroner viii Investigate.


DAYTON, O., July 14.-Mrs. Sophia
Winkler Guenther died unexpectedly
Friday, and Saturday Judges Elliott and
Dwyer held consultation, and thought
best to have the coroner investigate mat
ters. This was done ON account of
numerous suits and compromises Henry
Guenther has had with his wife, the de-
ceased, in the courts here.
Two years ago Sophia Winkler was a
housekeeper for Guenther, and h ad
been adopted by him before his wife
died. He got too familiar with the girl
and accomplished her ruin. She sued
him for seduction and breach of prom
Use. She recovered $1,000, and Guen-
ther then coaxed her to marry him. She
agreed to do So but just before the we'd
ding Guenther decided his farm and all
his property to friend, but reserved a
life dover.
He brought his wife to town in few
weeks and left her on the streets telling
her he did not wish to see her again.
She brought suit for divorce and ali
mony and for her original judgment and
to set aside the fraudulent sale of the
land, for which no money had been
paid. She was about to gain these suits
when Guenther and his friends persuad-
ed her to go back to the farm and live
with her husband.
The suits weret be compromised, but
Guenther said that she would never live
a month, and she died before the month
was up.
The attending doctors say that Mrs.
Guenther had violent spells of vomiting,
and that her stomach was in fearful
condition.
The attorney of Mrs. Guenther is hav
ing an analysis made, and the coroner
has appointed three physicians to hold an
autopsy on the remains.
Mr.. Guenther says that his wife died
