Jerry Simpson No Longer Picturesque.
Washington CITY letter

Jerry Simpson is losing his radiance as
star. He no longer draws as he did when
he first bulged into this town in all his
native weirdness. With his homemade
raiment, his cowhide brogans, his dishev-
elled eye and his hair in fine frenzy roll
ing, Jerry was worth the price of admis-
sion at all times. Here in this thrice-holy
Mecca of cranks he was an infinite delight,
well-spring of JOY, never-failing sweet
ness. But he has been to New York, In
toxicated by his first instalIment of salary.
he tiew upon the wings of the vestibuled
limited to great Gotham. put up at the
Windsor. had his hair moved by
q clipper, hobnobbed with Henry
George, lunched at Delmonico's,
bought socks, put on patent-
leather shoes, and, in short, emerged
from his picturesque chrysalis a cheap,
commonplace, half-groomed. imitation
dandy. His day is over. He continues TO
talk TO reporters. but nobody cares what
he says. He imparts his intentions for
next winter, but nobody listens. Even the
audiences of strong-minded women upon
whom he could once count with certainty
have deserted him. Jerry Simpson in i'll
fitting, slop-shop finery is no longer a
drawing card.

Fortunately the weather remains
mild. Rain or cold weather wonId

recovered from the ruins in LARGER
towns, but horrible scenes are presented
In the country, where the people are
unable to inter their dead
Foreigners have come forward gen

The Dover Strut.

Several days ago an EUening Journal
reporter was in an Office on Shipley

cussing matters appertaing to the court,
and especially the personnel of the
Bench.
"Well,n said one man, "Chief Justice

Another man who has had much
legal business to transact did not look
at the matter in the same light. He
said

"Well, then, what is it" asked the
other.

Winter Musings.

The grass has ceased its growing.
And the chilly winds are blowing
And its getting time for showing
As we get our ulSteis ont
Soon the sleigh bells will be ringing;
We can hear the snow birds singing
And the icicleS are clinging
To the whitened waterspOut.
Where the Old-time lovers 1irted,
The groves have been deserted
And their sparks are now concerted
In the paTlOr by the CRATE
The hunters deer are stalking
And the tramp is southwark walking
And the sewing circles talking
Puts their victims in a state
The plumber now is plumbing
and the old clothes man is humming
At the garments that are coming
From the swells of summer days.
The weather vanes are jerky
And the sky is getting murky
And the plump and pamyered turkey
Sees the error of his ways.
But though the air is freezing
And 1t gives US fits of SneeZing
Yet were filled with thoughts most pleasing
As we Ope the closet door
For ever since September
We have viewed il and remember
Ihat the suit of last December

The GRIP IN GERMANY.-The epi-
demic of influenza which has been pre-
vailing in Germany for some time past
is daily spreading, and the number of
persons who have been afflicted with
the disease is now very large. On No
vember 26 it was estimated by some
physicians that 10000 persons in Der
lin had been attacked with influenza
since November !. This is pronounced
OF a much more virulent type than that
which prevailed there two wears ago.
and many deaths resulted.
The victims of the epidemic COM
prise every station in life, and MANY
prominent residents of the CITY have
been Frustrated by tie prevailing NAL
ady. So widespread have been its
ravages that municipal affairs have
been interfered with, owing to the i'll
ness of many of those connected with
the various departments. Several
judges and numerous other officials
connected with the courts have been
attacked and incapacitated from at
tending to their duties, and vexatious
delays have thus been caused in certain
judicial proceedings.
