CHAPTER XI.

a small, square sign beside the post of q
door in one of the business streets of New
York set forth the fact to all whom it
might interest that Daniel Stewart, arch
itect, had his Office on the second floor.
Apparently this announcement had been
of interest to no one, for it had stared the
public blankly in the face for more than
twelve months and the public had
vouchsafed it no attention.
A very different thought had been in
Mr.. Stewards mind when he put it
there, and his intention had been to be
discriminating and trifle hard to please
in his selection of patrons, and just a
little difficult in regard to the orders
which would inundate him-not enough
to dam the tide of prosperity, of course,
but sufficient to increase its impetuosity.
A man must not cheaper himself, he
must demonstrate that he has full belief
in his own ability and consciousness of
its worth, so that the world in its I'M
thinking haste may find this view ready
to its hand and adopt it. So thinks
every man who is worth his salt when
he embarks on new venture; and so
he should think, for if in youth he has
not belief in himself and hope for the
world his case is a sad one, and the
sooner he buys himself revolver and
hies him to a better country the better
for his comfort.
Dams was a sunny, hopeful nature,
and it took twelve full months of per-
sistent encouragement to convince him
that callous public was resolved to
give him no opportunity to house it in a
style and for price heretofore I'M
dreamed of, and to make him realize
that belief in ones self, while undoubt-
eddy an excellent thing, is inadequate to
force from the world substantial recog-
milton of ones talents. Houses he could
build, and that right well, for he had a
thorough knowledge of his business; but
an ability can scarcely be considered
of practical value when there seems nc
market for it. Houses there were in
plenty to be builded, but other men got
the work somehow through being in the
ring or having interest or other things
to push them, while Dan was little
outside of it all, not being even a native
born New Yorker.
He had first seen the light of day (or
rather of twelve wax candles, for it was
eleven o'clock of pitch dark night in
a stately room of stately house near the
city of st. John, New Brunswick. Some
superstition of his house, handed straight
down from Highland granddam, de-
manded that to insure good fortune to
an infant he must be ushered into the
world by the aid of candles twelve in
number, and that, to secure exceptional
good fortune, such as intellectual gifts
and the power of winning affection, he
must be born as near the magic hour of
midnight as he conveniently could man
age. Dan had missed the supreme good
by undue haste, but he had small right
to gibe at Fortune for the way in which
she used him.

He Successfully Gets Away With Some
Things in q House on . Street.
Yesterday afternoon a bold sneak thief en-
tered the house of Don Jose Felipe Sagrario,
No I431 q street, and got away with some
property. Mr.. Sagrario is secretary to the
Spanish minister. and Lis wife went to market
yesterday and when she returned home she dis
covered that some silver spoons and forks had
been taken from the dinner table. Just as she
reached home a colored man reached the house
with a message. and hearing a noise in one
room he opened the door and grabbed the thief,
a young colored man, and held him. The
latter pretended to be badly frightened and
said he would remain seated without any
trouble. Word was sent to a neighboring drug
store and from there q message was sent to
police headquarters.
Detective carter responded, and when he
reached the house the coiored man who had
held the prisoner had just returned from a
pursuit. The thief had broken away and had
been pursued rs far the street bridge,
where his pursuer lost sight OF him.
Besides the cutlery, it was discovered that
seven bottles Of wine had been taken.
Day before yesterday young man engaged

ANIMALS IN MOTION,
An Interesting Lecture Delivered to the

An Interesting Lecture Delivered to the
Students of the Corcoran Art School.
Mr.. Eadweard Muybridge, celebrated in the
revolutionary work of the instantaneous pho
Biography of animals in motion that he has
been carrying on in .his country during the
past two decades, delivered one of his delight
ful lectures last night before the art students
Of the Corcoran Art School and the members

pie, whose work is directly in the line OF the
revelations that have been made by Prof. Muy-
bridge as to the actual motions of men
and animals. The lecture was profusely
illustrated with lantern slides made from Prof.
Muybridges original Photographic plates taken
during his experiments which, he explained,
were begun twenty years ago in California.
Senator, then governor. Stanford, was anxious
to ascertain beyond doubt whether or not o
trotting horse is at any time III his motion en-
tirely off the ground. Horsemen declared this
to be impossible, but with the aid of the photo
graphic plate it was positively demonstrated
that even at the top OF speed trotter is wholly
free from the ground, and in fact would not be
a trotter otherwise.
From this start came the other experiments
In the way Of investigating the entire field Of
animai motion, which has destroyed most of
the former ideals of the attitudes of both men
and animals while under muscular influences, as
exemplited in the work Of artists of a former
day.
Prof. Muybridge showed that there were GER
tain rules about horse and other animal motion
that rendered it quite possible to formulate
every gait into laws, and which further proved
that all animals walk alike. This latter propo-
sition, however startling it may have been, was
amply demonstrated by the plates shown, even
to the extent of showing an exact resemblance
between the walks of horse and camel

Ex-senator Ingalls, Says That 1t Only Gets Us
Into Trouble.
"This whole Chilean imbroglio is an illustra-
ton of the danger Of our having a navy" said
ex-senator John ]. Ingalls, at the Grand Pacific
in Chicago yesterday.
Here the Baltimore was in the harbor Of
Valparaiso, where she had no business to be.
She had right to be there, to be sure and be-
ing there our flag and uniform were entitled to
respect, but she had no business there. Her
sailor1 went on shore and got into an alterca-
ton. Had they and their ship been where
they ought to have been, in the barbo- of San
Francisco, New York, Boston or some other
American seaport, they would not have been
hurt. But the officials wanted to make a show
OF action and they sent the Baltimore to VAL
paraiso, where she had no business, as they
sent the rest of the fleet to other places where
they have no business.
The supposititious trouble with Chile was
manufactured by people who have direct in
te-est In securing big appropriation from
Congress to build an expensive, useless unnec-
essary navy. 1t was the annual war scare.
which is gotten up by these same people lust
about the beginning of every Congress. The
scare rs always based on some triiiing incident,
III Itself OF no Importance and out of the ques-
ton as casus belli. One year it was the Boring
sea dispute and We were sure to have war with
Great Britain. Then it was the Malta lynching
at New Orleans that was to involve us with
Italy. Before that we had some discussion
with Spain. Now, just watch the course of
events and see il Congress is not asked to ap-
propriate forty or fifty millions for a navy"
'Do we need a nvy?'
mo, sir. navy will only get rs into
trouble, just as the Baltimore did There is NO
necessity for this country in sending O lot of
war ships staggering around the earth saving
the United States must be respected The
United States il respected without any bullying
of that sort"

SCHOOL GIRLS REBEL.
They Object to Removing Corsets in Taking
Physical Culture Exercises.

They Object to Removing Corsets in Taking
Physical Culture ExerciscA
Physical culture exercises have brought dis
cord in the Woburn, Mass, High School Sew
erai girls Of the class are determined to make
a stand against the course of instruction. One
OF their objections relates to corsets. Miss
Barnes, the instructor. believes that the action
Of the muscles should not be hampered by
anything In the nature of straitjacket. The
girls do not want to discard corsets. They
claim also that tho exercises are too violent
and that they feel tho effects of the exertion
long after the class lis dismissed. The exer-
cises are simple and similar to those in use in
girls schools. Three months ngo several mem
bers of the class rebelled over leaving their
corsets of when attending the physical cuI-
ture session. The teacher firmly insisted that
they should be removed. Then came a little
deception. and the teacher found 1t necessary
to inspect her pupils to ascertain if they were
corsetless.
Tuesday was physical culture day, and two
of the girls asked to be excused. Their request
was refused and they tainted. An immediate
explosion resulted, and the young women took
up arms against the "torturing" exercise The
teacher at times has found it necessary to sug-
gest to the class that the prescribed home ex-
ercises be more faithfully attended to, and
those in authority assert that members of the
class have hindered the teacher by not heed.
ing those instructions. For that reason she
supposed girls who tainted were shammiuc in
order to escape the routine exercises. Several
physicians will attend the exercises on Tuesday
next, and will determine whether the instruc-
ton Is liable to injare the health Of the class.
