deal below the true amount, so many

amount of mortRages recorded during
the same period was s539,009.
THE LOCAL SITUATION.
Local financial authorities say that
while the demand for money continues
quite active, it is a very encouraging
fact that payments OF installments and
interest are being keptup with punctu-
,ai.y that speaks volumes for the sound
ness of the situation. The returns of
the clearing house also afford another
example of the exceptionally favorable
condition OF things here as contrasted
with other monetary centers.
RENTS.
Houses continue in active demand.
Stores are taken eagerly where the rent
is moderate, but there il a strong tend
ency to rebel at any attempt to raise
rents in the quarters regarded ss choice
business locations. The improving sec
ton of Broadway between Second and
Third has received an impetus during
the past week by the advent OF an inn
portant San Francisco dry goods house,
which has leased the only vacant store
in the Potomac block for term oi
years for the purpose OF carrying on a
branch business.
MAIN STREET.
Another effort is being made to gel
Main street paved out as far as Wash
ington street, and it is to be hoped that
it may be successful. This fine thor
oughiare is Is years behind the times
and while the property owners are
slowly waking up to the necessities o.
their situation, the fine Improvements
are being made in other directions
There is no other important street in
town where one may today go readily
realize the condition of the city streets
as they were in anti-boom times. A
rough roadway, o one-horse car service
long stretches of sidewalk unpaved anC
without any curbing, fine residences en-
closed with whitewashed four-boart
fences. gaping drain pipes, weeds ant
neglect showing prominently in TOT
many quarters along the highway. Blu
the time has come !or change, ant
Main street may yet become what its 10
cation entities it to be, one of the prin
cipal driveways Of the city.

fact that the complaining witness

at no time did his voice fail, and even

secure a quorum he stood erect and
ready to proceed with his remarks.
Not for one moment did he falter; not

by those present. During the early

DROPPED a BABY IN His LAP.-
There was an incident that created con
sternation at the close of the eighteenth
annual conference of the African Meth
odist Church in Kansas City, Kan,
Tuesday night. During the session,
while the church was crowded to It's
limit with the colored preachers and
spectators, small colored woman, car
rying an infant u months old, opened
the street door and moved hast,
lily down the aisle to the pew occupied
by Rev. G. II. Wilson, of Lawrence,
Kan, and his young wife, a bride Of a
few months.
The woman stopped there and de-
posted the bundle of humanity inthe
lap of preacher Wilson, saying: There
take it (; it's yours"
There was some confusion in the audi
ence, and the woman, who was named
Green, of South Omaha, Neb., disap'
peared.
Bishop Handy raped for order and
asked Wilson to explain. The minister
arose and said he had no explanation
to make; but would like to withdraw
from the conference and the ministry
The Bishop told him he could withdraw
under charges, and he accepted the
condition, leaving the church.
Before Wilson held the Lawrence
charge he was pastor ofthe South Oma-
ha Church. While he was there the
woman Green filed charges against him
but withdrew them on his promise to
make amends. He failed to do this,
and she followed him to Kansas Cityto
give him the child.

THE highest legislative body in this
country has discarded the faculties
usually employed in legislation and re-
sorted to physical endurance as the
more effective means by which laws
may be passed. The ability to with
stand fatigue has been substituted for
brains, as the best appliance by which
laws for nearly seventy million people
can be enacted. And this has been
done after the experience of a century
of republican government. The Brazil
ians are wiser than the people of this
country. Three years have been sutfi-
Gent to dissipate their love for republi-
can government.

GELast night the ground on which the
coal mining town, of Louisville, Col, is
located began to sink and people were
startled from sleep by the cracking of
the walls of their houses. Many rush.
ed out to find the ground depressed
two feet or more in many places. 1t
has been discovered that the wells have
gone dry, the great cracks in the earth
allowing the water to sink into the
mine workings. The cause is due to
the giving way of the props in the
worked out coal districts. If this continues
much longer the entire town will be rendered
unfit for habitation.
During the past eight weeks Miss
Emma Herncame, of Huntingdon, Pa,

was accompanied by violent pain
issuing from the heart to the base of the
brain. Since then at every heart beat
her head has made a violent and re-
sponsive nod, first forward and then
backward, with the regularity and pre-
cision of q clock pendulum. In either
movement her head passes from the
perpendicular about one foot. The
young lady's general health is but
slightly Impaired. The physicians are
non- plussed over the strange affection.

so unless he shall resign his seat in
Congress in time to allow his successor
TO be chosen at the regular election next

COMMISSIONS ARE easily available
means by which to stave off action, but
they are the bane of this government.
The latest patent example of the truth
of this statement, is the fact that the
members of the commission appointed

New York customs house have, for
months, been drawing pay at the rate

that, too, though not employed for one

where his mother was on visit. His
early childhood was spent in Stafford

sixteen, he was appointed deputy sher-
if, in which position he served until
appointed State cadet at the Virginia
Military Institute. From the institute
he went TO Baltimore, there engaging in
business until his marriage to Miss E.
Virginia Fletcher, daughter of Joshua

Gated in this city going in the commits
sion business with Col. Charles F. SUIT
tie. He was member of the AieXan-
