THE KNIGHTS OF RECIPROCITY.

THEIRS exists In the United States a
secret political society named the
Knights OF Reciprocity. II was first
organized in February, 1891, and was
more or less direct outgrpwth Of the
Kansas elections OF 1890. II will be-
remembered that the Farmcrs' Al.
lance ofthat year promulgated plat.
forms OF most radical nature, inolud.
Ing sub-troasury schemes, absolute
free trade, government loans and
several other soclalistic projects. The
knights Of Reciprocity, finding, per.
hsps, that a golden mean between the
extreme Alliance men and the extreme
party men would be the best, organ.
lied n society mainly for political edu.
cation, but providing also for social
and recreatlve entertainments.
For the convenience Of organizing
and excluding the order a short poli,i-
cal cateohism was formulated, and
each candidate for membership was
and Is required 10 answer the follow
ing questions:
81. Are you in favor OF the porpotulty

RorrESSEss IN POLICE CIRCLES.

YESTERDAY this journal published
some striking facts connected with an
informal investigation Into the con.
duct OF officials connected with the
police department Of this city. We
have been informed Of the existence
o. nh appalling degree Of rottenness In
that branch OF the municipal govern
ment.
Some Of the leading officials Of the
administration are cognizant Of the
fact that the NEWS IL not ignorant on
the subject. one Of the members Of
the Council "a "Iibersl") remarked, n
day or two since, To n representative Of
this Journal, that II was due the public
that II should, through these columns,
expose the condition Of the police de.
psrtment, with view 10 having the
gross wrongs corrected. He even intl'

done he would himself 90

would to that body stato that the
News had information on the subject
and failed 10 do it, duty In the pre-.

veriest nonsense, especially when the

II seems however, that the police

LOST HIS WH1sKERs.-A newcomer,
a shoemaker by trade, enjoyed himself
on Saturday night by freely patronizing
the flowing bowl. On emerging from a
Royal street restaurant he vas con-
fronted by two of his boon companions
and some wordy alteration arising, one
of the friends of the in%ebriated indi-
yidual, seized him by his lu4uriant

CuURcn IMPRovEMENT.-At st.
Mary's Church yesterday the pastor an
nounced that the meeting OF the con,
~eregation he had been requested to call
when the plans for the church improve
mcnts were ready, would be held in the
Lvceum Hall on the evening OF Mon
day. the 9th instant. There was, he
said, great necessity for enlargement,
as he was not only unable to rent pews,
hut even seats, to many applicants.
The plans embraced the removal of the
present steeple and front and the eN,,
%tcnsion of the new building 10 Royal
street with q stone front and tower,
which would make st. Nary's the finest
building in the city. He had been
offered all the stone necessary by a
gentleman formerly Il member OF the
congregation free of cost, and II lady
had already given 500 towards the
work. He thought it best to do 1t
without the aid of fairs, &c, which were
not exactly the proper means for such
a purpose, but by weekly and monthly
subscriptions, and he felt sure that the
congregation was both able and willing
to make the Improvement.

The PoPE's SToNE.-While the divers
were at work repairing the foundations
of the piers of the Long Bridge last
week they found and brought to the
surface what is said to be q piece of the
stone which the Pope sent to be placed
in the Washington Monument, and
which it is said a party Of know-nothings
on the night of March 4, 1854, threw
into the Potomac. The stone which is
now alleged to be that which was stolen
is nowhere on exhibition, and members
of the Washington Monument Society
express doubt as to the reality of the
find. DR.. J. N. Toner does not think
such a discovery likely, but says if the
stone turns out to be genuine, it will be
claimed by the monument society and
placed in its proper position.

SMALL-PoX.-The schooner c. T.
Strann, from Philadelphia, loaded with
kainit for the Alexandria Fertilizer
and Chemical Company, arrived at this
port last Tuesday, and began discharg-
ing her cargo. Capt. a. j. Marshall,
of the schooner, shortly after arriving
here, became indisposed, and DR.. Smith,
acting Z. S. marine hospital surgeon,
upon being called discovered that Capt.
Marshall was suffering from smallpox.
The vessel was Immediately ordered
away from the dock and the crew di-
rected to anchor below Jones's Point.
Instead Of obeying the order, however,
the vessel was taken a short distance
above the city (n the jurisdiction of the
District of Columbia), with q yellow
flag displayed, and anchored. DR..
Smith Immediately notified the
Marine Hospital authorities of the facts
in the case, but no notice WAS taken of
the matter, and yesterdayseveral thou
sands of people passed and repassed
the infected vessel on their way up and
down the river on excursion steamers.
DR.. Smith proceeded TO Washington
this morning in order TO lay the facts
before the authorities. DIR. Smith on
Saturday procured vaccine matter
in Washington and vaccinatcd all the
crew Of the vessel who had been en-
gagged in unloading the schooner. Capt.
Marshall, though suffering from "a we'll
defined Ease Of smallpox, is doing well.
Two physicians were sent here this evening
to take charge of the case.

a Hot SUNDAY.-On Saturday night
there We're several showers ofrain, dur
ing the prevalence of which the wind
blew cool and refreshing from the
northeast, and those who had swelter-
ed meath the torrid heat of the day
closed their eyes in the belief that Sun
day would dawn cool if not bright.
Early yesterday morning there was a
cool breeze from the southwest, but as
the SUI mounted higher and higher the
mercury began TO climb in the Their
mometer, and by the time the congre-
cations assembled in the churches the
temperature was very oppressive, and
fans were plyed and flies fought during
the services. The breeze grew stiff,
but it was not n cooling wind, and dur
ing the lulls in the flaws the air grew
sitting, forcing beads of perspiration
upon man and beast. Toward the end
of the day a sheet Of clouds yelled the
as that luminary dropped behind the
western hills, and there was every in
dication that n refreshing shower
would soon be upon the city; but
though the wind stiilened and the tenn
perature fell somewhat it was near
midnight before any rain fell. During
the day the excursion steamers did a
good business, being crowded on each
trip, and on some of the upper trips of
the steamers it seemed as if every
available foot Of space was occupied by
an eXcursionist. Numbers gathered in
the southern portion of the city to see
the female aeronaut make an ascension
from River View. The wind sent her
balloon in this direction, and all had n
good vicw of her aerial voyage and
descent. At night the churches were
not well filled. The weather to-day,
at times, has been threatening and sui
