Very Useful If He Doesn't Wear Many
.s' -s .rDiamondss "a
There is one individual about q
hotel who is.4seldom seen Ly the out
side public, but who occupies one of
the most responsible positions in every
hosflery. It5is the night clerk.
His duties, says the Washington
Ststr, arc, of course, not as arduous as
the day or room clcrds, but they are
very responsible. The house is flied
with sleeping people and he maintains
over all these precious lives an indirect
and important supervision. He looks
after the watch1nan closely to see that
the halls are properly patroled and q
sharp lookout kept for fires. At the
disastrous. Hotel Royal fire in New
York it will be remembered that it
was alleged that the great loss of life
there resulting was mainly due to the
fact that the night clerk was at the
time the fire broke out either asleep or
improperly. attending 10 his duties, as
the flames gained such tremendous
headway before any effort was made
TO arouse the guests.
The night clerk witnesses many
strange and interesting scenes and in
cidents, and could many an interesting
tale unfold if he chose.

INDIA'S INFINITE VARIETY.
Her Society aud Her Scenery Complex and
Varied to u Degree.

Her Society aud Her Scenery Complex and
Varied to IL Degree.
The grand difficulty of talking to an
EngEshman about India is that hca1-
ways forms a picture of the place in
his mind. 1t may be accurate or mac
curate, but it is always picture. He
thinks of it either as q green delta, or
q series of sunbal<ed plains, or wild
region, with jungle and river and
farms all interniNed, or a vast park
stretched out by nature for SportSmen,
and sloping somehow at the edges
toward highly cultivated plains, says
the London Spectator. It never occurs
to him that as regards external aspect
there is no India, that tho peninsula,
so-called, is as large as Europe west
OF the Vistula, and presents as many
variations of scenery East Anglia is
not SO different from Italy as the north
west provinces from Bengal, nor arc
the Landcs so unlike Normandy as the
Punjab is unlike the hunting districts
OF Madras. There is every scene in
India, from the eternal snow of the
Himalayes, as much above Mount Blanc
as Mount Blanc is above Geneva, to the
rice swamps of Bengal, all buried in
of the Vindhyo, where beauty and fer
tiaity seem to struggle consciously for
the favor of man, to the God-forgotten
salt marshes by the Rum of Clutch.
1t is the samerI indigenous Indian
society. The Englishman thinks of it
as an innumerable crowd of ti1nid
peasants, easily taxed and governed by
few officials, or as population full
of luxurious princes, with difficulty re-
strained by scientific force and careful
division from eating up each other. In
reality, Indian society is more complex
and varied than in Europe, comprising,
1t is true, n huge mass of peasant pro-
prietors, but yet full of princes who
are potentates and princes who nrc
'surviVals of landlords, who are in all
respects great mobiles and landlords,
who are only sqnireens OF great eccle-
siastics and hungry curates, of mer-
chants like the Earrings and merchants
who keep shops, or professors and pro-
! 3essionals, OF adventures and Grim
inals, of cities full of artificers, and
Of savages far below the dark citizens
of Hawaii.

A Profound Nrys,ery.

The verniform appendix is about
the only thing in the human structure
for whose existence science has been
unable to d;acovo3 reason. The YER
inform appendix is small tube of
tissue about as big as half a lead
pencil and depending from the colon
or big intestine. In this position It is
apt to catch cherry pits, seeds of fruit,
and other small objects likely to in.

COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB,

The annual election of the Columbia Athletic
Club, which was held at the club house yester-
day. passed off without hitch. The fact that

quently not SO large.

vice president; J. Nota McGill, secretary; J.
Maury Dove. treasurer; W. VI. Mooney, cap

The French Society and Its Ball,

Mr.. Ed. de BetheZy, secretary Of the Union
Fralemette de Laugue Franchise, sends to THE
STAR in behalf of the committee in charge a
statement respecting the ball announced by the
society and the controversy that has arisen on
account Of the declaration of officers Of the
builders exchange that they will not permit
their hall to be opened for the ball.
Mr. BetheZy says: First, the contract entered
into between the proprietors Of Builders Ex-
change Hail through their agent and signed by
the secretary OF builders exchange specifies
that said hall is rented for French ball, and
this is also written on their rent book How
would you qualify the statement of these gen.
tlemen that they had been deceived as regards
the kind of ball to be given?
The permit issued by the District authorities
has been granted with full knowledge that it
was for the French ball and the Commissioners
were only consistent with themselves in de-
clining to revoke the permit granted.
I'd. As to the alleged declaration of Lieut.,
Amiss 81 have not had time to verify it. ANY
how, if true, this declaration would be very
contrary to the words Of Lieut.. Amiss to myself
on the day after our last ball. The lieutenant
told me and other members of tho committee
that he was happy to congratulate us in getting
up as fine and orderly ball as ever was given
in the District of Columbia.
| must the more doubt the statement alleged
to have been made by Lieut.. Amiss, as SO far
as know, prostitution is strictly forbidden in
the District. How, then, could prostitutes be
known as such and allowed to attend o ball.

PAY INSPECTOR STEVENSON.
His Case Exciting Considerable Interest In
Naval Circles.

His Case Exciting: Considerable Interest In
Naval Circles.
The case of Pay Inspector Stevenson 10 ex-
citing considerable interest in naval circles
just at present He was recently examined for
promotion. Several other officers were exam
ined at the same time. The examining board
reported favorably in each case. and. with
the exception of that of Mr.. Steven
son, each case received the approval Of
the Secretary of the Navy. The findings
in the case of Mr.. Stevenson were disapproved
because of his alleged moral unfitness He was
therefore again ordered before another board
for denomination. The result will be watched
with interest. No officer has failed of promo
ton on account of moral unfiness for
years, and there is no precedent in
the case. Mr.. Stevenson cannsS be
placed on the retired list. because he
has not reached the age limit nor can he
very well be dismissed without trial by court
martial. and. there are no charges that
can be brought against Mr.. Stevenson
at this late date. it is difficult for
the officers at the department to see
what can be done in the matter. Mr.. Ste
venson was stationed at the Naval Academy
some years ago and was detached at the request
of Capt Sampson, the superintendent The
bad conduct for which il is said Secretary
Tracy declines TO promote him dates back to
some years ago when Mr.. Stevenson was in
Japan.

A ALEXANDRIA.

| INTERVIEWS IN ALEXANDRIA. OLD AND NEW.
Alexandria has been burying its dead since
birth and deaths have been known to it. One
Alexandrian only has been cremated. Col. D.
r. Windsor. who died last year. but there were
many other dead upon whom the clods of the
valley had never fallen. Family vaults were
not uncommon receptacles for departed Vir-
ginians of the early days, and in this neighbor-
hood nine or ten vaults on ancestral estates
have disappeared within half century. The
Dade vault, where rested the remains OF the
ancestors of President Fendall of the Washing
ton Bar Association: the Alexandria vault and
'others have disappeared within that time. Some
few modern family sepulchral vaults are now
found in the cemeteries, and there are some re-
ceiving vaults. the prices paid for lodging be-
ing from 81 to 50 per month. 1t has lately
become necessary to repair the Henderson vanlt
in the Methodist Protestant cemetery and the
''mortalities" have been brought to light and
buried elsewhere. In one case the child of a
Washington merchant had been there eleven
years. There, too, was the body Of perhaps
the first confederate prisoner of the war. He
was a member of South Carolina regiment
from Beaufort and was wounded
and captured in one of the early skirmishes
around Washington before Bull Run and died
In this hospital His body. incased in a hand
some iron casket, was brought to Alexandria to
be sent through the lines The military move
ments at that time prevented the return of the
soldier to soldiers grave in the south, and
the remains were placed, was supposed, tenn
porarily in the Henderson vault, where they
have remained for thirty years. Last evening
they were buried by Lee Camp.
THE COMING CONTEST FOR OFFICE.
The coming spring promises very great
activity in democratic local politics. The
triumphant democracy will hold all the de-
partments of government, national. state and
municipal. and as the filling of the national
offices and the municipal election will both take
place vigorous interparty contest will proba-
bly, be the notable thing 'when the flowers
bloom again."
