A Number of Sufferers from the Grippe

ana other Maladies.
The grippe seems to have had special
designs on the Supreme Judges of the
District. To-day Chiet Justice Bingham
and Justice Montgomery were at home
sick. Judge Cox has been under the
weather for week or more, but is im-
proving. Judge Bradley is taking a brief
rest in the country after having passed
through the KncGd trial. The only
Judges at the Courthouse were Hagner
and James.
Lawyer Charles Maurice Smith Is also
down with the grippe.
DIR. Smith Townshend, the Health Ohi-
Ger, as stated a few days ago in The CRrIC,
is also sufferer with the grippe. This
morning DIR. Townshend was quite i'll, and
Drs. Pool and Marsteller were summoned
TO his bedside. They found him in great
pain, and later on he was seized with an
attack Of vertigo TO which he is subject.
lie soon rallied, however, and has been
improving steadily ever since. Dir.
ToWnshend was sick enough 10 90 10 bed
q week ago but he refused 10 do so, on
the ground that many of his patients
were seriously Ill and he could not afford
TO neglect them. He did not give up
until he was absolutely prostrated.
This afternoon DIR. TOwnshend's con-
dition was partly improved and his physi-
clans are hopeful that the worst IS over.
Mr.. Cooper AlcGnn, the chief clerk of
the Health Onlce, is also very sick with
the grippe. lie is attended by DR..
DemOrest
Mrs Einsten, the wife of Sam Ensteln,
is another grippe sufferer. She is quite
sick at her residence on Four-and-a-half

has been seriously III for week past at
his residence, 1927 n street northwest, is

lF THERE Is ANYTHING that this country
has long felt the need of 1t is female law
yers. Those of us who are married realize
how terribly woman is handicapped in
the matter of argument with the man
of her family. The difficulty of hay
ing the last word is often depressing.
Man, equipped with his university train
ing and literary society debating club,
hardened by the mighty struggles in
polemics in the rnoot courts, is too often
able to crush woman with his powers of
dispute and argument. Now that four
teen young women have graduated as
lawyers from Columbia, the days of the
men getting the best of any argument are
numbered, and the certainty of the last
word remaining with the women is as

that he is a.nice, good Democrat, whose

to the natural and commendable overflow

BLIND" "TIlE INTRUDER" Trans
lated from the French Of Maurice Mae
tcrleick by Mary Nielc; only author
iled translation. w. II. Morrison,
Washington, u. G.,
We have here admirably translated two
of the most stremarkable short dramas of
the day. There is nothing equal to them
i'm contemporancous dramatic literature
Such simplicity, such power and origin
ality is rarely met with. The author has,
with a few ma,terstrokes, painted two of
the most absorbing and awe-inspiring
pictures. The simple language, rich in
strength and pathos, depicts a series of
dramatic situations that riyct the heart
and mind Of the reader There is no plot
and none Of the ordinary accessories Of
the stage, but the reader Is held SPELL
bound by the appeal made to his sym
puthics. The weird, supernatural atmos-
phcre surrounding every phase Of these
wonderful dramas in miniature hcightens
the effect, and one rises from a perusal
of them with feelings Of awe sympathy
and surprise. The literary world is greatly
indebted to the taste and skill of the cul-
tured translator for giving 50 rare treat
by introducing to us the work Of this m
comparable writer.

dear to that section. Judging from Mr..

section as the orators from other parts of

type shown is that OF the save man. l heard
him lecture in Columbus, o., between the
yesrs 1855 and lS6O.n
William P. Andrus, in his affliaVit, says:
In 1856 or 1857 I was in the company Of
the man who was writing for the Cleveland
Pain Dealer under the name Of 'Artemus
w ard On one occasion l accompanied
him on steamer from Detroit to Chicago.
l recognize the daguerrotype as the picture
OF the man | knew as 'Artemus Ward"
Mamie g. Parker and Mary Oldham con-
tribute athdavits setting forth that they
knew Mr.. and Mrs. Charles F. Browne. Mr..
Browne, they say. was otherwise known as
Ward.
James Goodheart, the ex-Sherif Of
Bio -mington, asserts that he heard "Arte-
mus Ward lecture on temperance in 1854,
and recognized the daguerrotype of Charles
+. Browne as the picture Of "Artemus
WarI"
Ambrose Ellis, who married Miss Catha-
rine Browne, one of the daughters of the
claimant, in Lexington, KY, in 1858, swears
that he met his father-in-Iaw in Louisville
just after he went away in 1855. and reoog-
nized him as the man he heard lecture later
as "Artemus Ward"
s. III. Gates of Bloomington swears:
after seeing a picture Ed Browne showed
me l think it resembles 'Artemus Ward, ;
whom l heard lecture in Springfield, Ill, in
1865"
r. E. Brown, who is not a relative OF the
claimant, swears as follows: Years ago 1
met Charles F. Browne, alias 'Artemus
Ward at Toledo, o., and l believe the
photograph shown is of him."
Perry Vance is more positive than any
body else. His affidavit is as follows: II
heard 'Artemus Ward lecture in West Vir-
ginia some time between 1856 and 1860

| referring to the daguerrotype).

nature, all tending to prove that Charles F.

| ten children In Kentucky in 1855, was
! "Artemus Ward, the great humorist who
! died at the age of 80 in England If 1t
should turn out that there was more than

was Charles F. Browne or Brown, it would

hard to convince those who lived in the last
