A chinese Glrlon the stage.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-For the first
time in this city Chinese woman is ap-
pearing ON the stage, and the Washing
ton street temple Of celestial drama is
packed to the doors every night. She is
Fong Kow, 17year old maiden. Her
charms have caused the staid merchants
Of Chinatown 90 forget the Gsary act,
and each night they fight for places in
the bald-head row. Miss Kow was
born i'm Los Angeles, where she made
several appearances in small theatre
A long headed Chinese manager OF this
city saw her there, and recognized what
a drawing card she would be, as female
characters have hitherto been personateC
here only by male Chinese with high
falsetto voices.

PERsoNAL.-Mr. Thos. X. Hovenden,
roted artist of Pennsylvania, was in
the city to-day, the guest of Mr.. Jno.
NJ. Barrett. Mr.. Hovenden's greatest
work is probably the painting of
Elaine" which was sold to Mr.. Nc
Cay, Of Baltimore, for $4,000; another
is his "In the Hands of the Enemy"
which was in the Corcoran Art Gallery
so ne time ago; and among his latest
i; breaking Home Ties" which ex-
cited so much admiration at the
Wo,ld's fair. Mr.. Hovendon is in quest
of information and subjects for some
colonial pictures, which he proposes to
paint, aud has lately opened studio
in Washington for that purpose. Mr..
Hovenden and Mr.. Barrett visited the
many points of interest here. The
former was charmed with the Carlyle
House and City Hotel and was de-
lighted with the city and the great ia
cilities it affords an artist in search of
historical subjects.
Mr.. Walter Walton, supervisor of
Mt. Vernon district, Fairfax county,

Of course, serving thousands daily with
merchandise through sixty seven departments

large sizes, ends of lines Then in handling

or otherwise defacing now and then. Now
what is to be done with such things? Allow
them to pile up week after week, keep them
among the regular stock and sell piece or so
occasionally? No. For we'd soon have more
than we could handle. Stock methods in our
business positively prohibit such accumuIa-
tions. They must move on" The only al
tentative, then, is to get rid of them. The
only way TO rid get of them is to give them
go-quick-prices. Here is where our Remnant
Day comes in. That's its object. 1t serves
our purpose as nothing else could, and for
that reason We give our entire advertising
space and our best business energy one day
in each week to this Remnant day.
The short lengths, odd Sizes &C., are worth
about as much as they ever were, because they
are nearly always seasonable and perfect
When otherwise We tell you. The Clipped
and marred things are not worth as much, of
course We don't want full price, we don't
ask it, in either instance If the Coat or Suit
fits you, if you can use this end of Dress Stuff

Things never bore such petty prices before.
Black and Colored Dress Goods Departments
have piles of useful lengths Of rich seasonable
fabrics, enough in some for woman's entire
suit-many with just the quantity for miss
or child. Stop at any department; you'll
likely find something to suit, and it will cost
you little enough in any instance.

PROVIDERS SHOT AT.-Shortly before
eleven o'clock last night considerable
excitement was occasioned in the neigh
borhood of Fairfax and Wilkes streets
by pistol shots directed at parties who
had been seen providing in the yards OF
two residents of that section OF the
city. Capt. Webster and Officer Grit
fin, who heard the reports from the
pistols, fastened to the scene and
made thorough search of the prem
iSes on which the thieves had been
discovered, but the trespassers had
vanished. About the same time a pls-
toll shot was heard by Officer Grady in
the yard of the residence of DR.. w. NJ.
Smith, on upper Prince street. 1t
seems man had been seen in the doc
tors yard, and upon being shot at had
climbed fence and escaped. 1t was
noticed that he had knife in his hand
and seemed prepared for business had
anybody undertaken to have stopped
him. Mr.. Grady made a thorough
search of the neighborhood, but failed
to find the thief. A few minutes later
another shot disturbed the quiet of the
intersection of Prince and Commerce
streets. A strange man had been seen
in ward in that neighborhood and the
householder had endeavored to shoot
him. The marauder in this case made
his escape before the police arrived.
The scratching of Cat on the back
door of the residence of Mr. Diedel, on
King street, about five o'clock this
morning, caused that gentleman to
suppose some one was about to burgla-
rize the house. He arose and fired a
pistol out of "a window in the direction
OF the supposed burglar. The report
of the pistol aroused the entire neigh
bOrhood. Several members of the Co.
lumbia Fire Company rushed to the
scene, but found no one in the yard,
and demonstrated that the noise at the
door was caused by feline. An at
Tempt was made during the. night to
entera residence on lower Duke street,
but the would-be burglar was heard
and scared off. Captain Webster and
Lieutenant Smith are using every
means to capture these midnight
thieves, and certain changes in the pa
lrohng of the city have been made

ALEXANDRIA's STREErs.-Gas and
electric lights were the subjects an
nounced for discussion at Tuesday
nights meeting of the northeast Wash
ington Citizens Association.
Mr.. w. c. Dodge read a paper on the
question, showing the advantages to be
gained by municipal lighting.
Mr.. Kllleeu doubted the expediency
of having the gas made by the govern
ment, for he believed that private indi-
viduals could make it cheaper than the
authorities.
Mr.. Dodge quoted the state of affairs
which exists in Alexandria, where the
city conducts its own gas works.
"And only has one square of paved
street where sick lady can ride with
any degree of ease and comfort" re-
marked Mr.. Killeen.

TRIED TO WHIP A MINIsTER.-Katie
Schuck, the 16-year-old daughter Of
Max Schuck, the proprietor of the Mill
vile Hotel, n. j., created sensation
on High street between and o'clock
Wednesday night by attempting to
horsewhip Rev. G. H. Button, pastor
of the First Baptist Church. Katie
slipped out of the house on the excuse
of purchasing some crimping pins, but
in reality she bought stout whip, and
seached around the streets for the cler-
gyman. She came up behind him as
he was passing along High street, and
said: "Good evening. Is this Mr.. But
ton?" He turned around and replied !:
"Yes."
you're the man who made the re-
marks about my father at the temper
ance mass meeting? '
YES" replied the minister.
"They're not true she exclaimed.
"If you want to talk about that you
must come to my house." he replied.
Then Katie raised her whip, and was
about to give him an awful lash when
he grabbed her arm, and prevented her
from striking him.
A crowd quickly gathered and the
girl broke away and ran home. Mr..
Button then proceeded to his house.
Mr.. Schuck lectured her severely
when Katie returned home, and says
he nor his wife knew nothing of her
determination to whip the clergyman.
Mr.. Buttons illusions to Mr.. Schuck
at the mass meeting were extremely
pointed and personal, and something
like this had been expected.

SEIZED A BOTTLE OF WHIsEY.-A
young colored man entered Majors
Hill store yesterday and purchased half
pint of whisky. After he had paid
for it an acquaintance, another colored
man, picked up the bottle and started
out. The owner demonstrated, but the
man with the plumber paid no atten-
ton to him. Finally the proprietor un-
dertook to recover the liquor. The pos
SCISSOR refused to relin9uish it and drew
pruning knife and made threats Of
what he would do if molested. Officer
McCuen soon arrived and captured the
negro and the whisky, and this morn
ing Mayor Strauss gave him the priv
ilege of paying $50 or going on the
chain gang for 60 days. His exchequer
being exhausted. he was compelled to
embrace the last-named horn of the di-
iemma.
