Improved in every way and worthy Of more
philanthropic interest than has yet been be-
slowed upon it, the free bathing beach will be
thrown open on Monday for the season Of
1898. This will be glad news for the small
boy. who must so in swimming. and who. if
there is no place provided. will violate the Law
and risk his life. As at present arranged the
beach is the safest bathing beach on the Poto-
mac, and with intelligent supervision and con-
troll ought to be immensely popular. Mr..
Stevens and those who have assisted him in
maintaining the beach are deserving Of hearty
thanks for their persistent courage in behalf
Of cleanliness, and efficiency in an art with
which every man and woman should be on
terms Of intimacy

The House of Never.
The house Of never is built. they say,
Just over the hills Of the by-and-by.
It's gates are reached by a devious way
Hidden from all but an angels eye.
1t winds about and in and out
The hills and dales to sever;
Once over the hills of the by-and-by
And you are lost in the house of never
The house of never is filed with waits.
With just-in-a-minutes and pretty soons;
The noise of their wings as they beat the gates
Comes back to earth in the afternoons.
When shadows fly across the sky
And rush-rude endeavor-
To question the hills of the by-and-by
As they ask for the house of never.
The house of never was built with tears,
And lost in the hills OF the by-and-by
Are million hopes and million fears,
A baby's smile and woman's cry;
The winding way seems bright today,
Then darkness falls forever,
For over the hills of the by-and-by
Sorrow waits in the house of never.

Of the pleasure of seeing the Princess Eulalie

is not skilled in that graceful pastime. This in

element in New York politics, and create a de-

After careful examination Of the many
models presented and impartial hearing Of
such argument as was made the United States
army through its recognized head hns declared
In favor of the Krag-Jorgensen magazine rifle
and If Secretary Lamont concurs in the
unanimous recommendation Of the authori-
ties the manufacture Of the new arm will soon
be commenced at Springfield Armory. 1t is
something of blow TO our national pride to be
compelled to confess inventive inferiority, but
no one can doubt that the foreign gun is better
than any OF the American arms which were sub
mitted in competition. This unaccountable
discrepsncy-for our inventive genius is far
ahead of that possessed by all other nations
will soon be wiped out. but for a year or so the
United States army and large proportion of
our National Guard will shoot with what,
though foreign product, is now believed to be
the highest type of modern rifle.

The course Of true love was going smoothly
enough with him until the man with the white
flannel suit appeared. Then his life became
scarcely bearable. In vain did he make covert
reference to the undesirability of dudes as hus-
bands. and say things about people who force
the season. He could not shake her opinion
that the occupant of that suit was q most in
teresting and attractive man.
Then he bethought him Of stratagem, and
was observed to wrinkle his brow and saw "ha-
ha" several times in rapid succession. He pro-
ceeded to affect a friendship for his rival and
even induced him to accept o slight gift as a
souvenir Of their acquaintance.
Soon after, the white flannel suit disappeared

but it was bespangled with black and looked
like circus clowns full dress uniform. The
young man smiled and said the flannel suit
was there, but the owner must have got caught
in a shower and shrunk up.
Then he smiled again, for he knew that his
rival was permanently out of the way.
He knew his business when he presented him
with balky fountain pen.

Emerson's laconic truth-"Commit a crime
and the earth is made Of GLASS aptly illus
trated by the locating Of John W. Hiilman who,
fourteen years ago. murdered Frederick A.
Walters and then fed with the hope that flight
might save his neck from the hempen moose.
The murder was committed for the purpose of
securing some twenty-five thousand dollars OF
insurance, but the plot failed and so
throughout the period indicated Hillman has
wandered through the widest portions OF the
remote southwest imagining probably that his
identity was there unknown and yet always
fearful of detection. No matter how coarse his
mental grain he has suffered a thousandfold
more than did his victim and although legal
punishment is by no means pleasing certainty
there must be relief even in prison for the
guilty being who has devoted every energy for
years in lodging law-abiding people.

most businesslike shape, would consist Of a suf
ficiently commodious structure in which
clothes might be washed and ironed and bodies
refreshed. Such projects have gone far be-
yond the experimental stage in other lands and
wherever they have been established the re-
suits were extremely gratifying to all parties.
Little homes that had always been redo
lent Of overworked suds were purified while
Thousands Of men and women who bad
lived for years on terms Of listlessness IL not of
enmity, with soap and warm water, enjoyed
the luxury Of frequent baths. In most in
stances a small charge was made-barely
enough to cover operating expenses-but
the sum was individually SO small that no
one could object. Public wash houses
for the poor-institutions that shall be
open from daylight until after dark, SO as to
afford even the careless no non-patronizing
excuse-would not only wipe out many anti
hygienic and ever threatening nuisances that
now exist within the city limits but would re-
suit in a certain moral elevation. What has
been done elsewhere is possible in the District
Of Columbia. Suppose we try the experiment
on Square 545.
This investigation emphasizes the conviction
that the extension Of the water and sewerage
systems of the city to squares and sections now
unsupplied is matter not merely Of sectional
but Of general public necessity. The sanitary
Notifications Of the city are no stronger than
their weakest spot. The investigation shows
also that eagerness to learn in respect to sani-
tary matters and the desire to improve unsani-
tary conditions are not confined to any limited
portion Of the city or to any particular class Of
citizens The educational campaign, conducted
BY the Sanitary League and fostered by The
STARS publications. is working bene6cent re-
suits in every part Of Washington. The people
generally are making Of themselves vigilant in
spectors of their own premises and surround
ings. and intelligent sanitary self-reformers.

A GRAVEYARD TOWN.
That Was What the Drummer
Thought of Boston AS He Saw It.
Boston Budget.

Many years ago, at least SO The oldest inhabi-
tant says, there was a hotel on Bovlston street
just opposite the DuryiDg ground on The Com
mon.
Now late one evening there arrived in town
q drummer with an Intense aversion for bury
ing grounds. But he had heard of this hotel,
and so he ordered the hickman to take him
straight there. 1t was so dark that night that
lie had not noticed what was in front of the
hotel; but when he woke up the next morning
he was so much annoyed by the sight of the
graveyard staring him in the face that lie de-
termned to leave the hotel.
He took his grip. went down town and spent
the whole day among he Offices. When even
ing came he asked for a good hotel and was
told 10 90 TO the Parker House. He arrlva
there about O'Clock at night and went di-
rectly TO the front room assigned TO him on the
fifth floor.
When he awoke in the morning., behold
the face. Again he paid his bill, took his grip
and went Out TO spend the day among the mer-
chants
Again that evening he asked for a good hotel.
ms time he brought M al the fremont House
and was planted in the front rigbt-hand corner.
Freed at last, he thought, from the oppressive
neighbOrhOod OF SIX eietons and tombstOnes he
sank 20 rest. But his slumbers were uneasy,
ana about 6 O'clock he got up and went 10 the
widow. There in trout of him was the Park
street burying-ground.
lie was seen that morning about 10 O'clock
heading for the railway stdtion with big bag
IN each hand. When his friend asked him why
he was going In such hurry, he calculated
prOfanely:
Pm going to some place that isn't so nm
healthy that they have to plant graveyard in
front oil every hotel in the town."

she found her face hidden in Jlm's coat

Naturally reticent, he said nothing until
the nervous sobs hushed, when they both
turned mechanically toward her house.
At the gate lie paused. still holding her
hand, which he had not loosed since the
first glorious moment of rescue.
