WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The Honorable
Henry Clay Miner, whose first claim to
distinction Is that he beat Tim Campbell
recently for Congress, and whose second
is that he manages two theaters on de
Bow'ry, has just been here; and he seems
like pleasant and good-natured gentle
man. He is even described as frank and
genial in his bearing and witty in his con-
versation. Harry Miner has been Tam
many man for 20 years, and has long wanted
TO come to Congress. Indeed, close OBJ
servers in New York have noticed that In
view OF his all-consuming ambition he
was gradually putting of the habits, be-
havior and dress of the Bowery boy, was
moving to fashinabIe residence in Madi-
son avenue and was gradually becoming
metamorphosed into would-be states
men. In his two theaters, In his
recent campaign, he made speeches APP
pealing to his neighbors and friends to
vote for him, which they did in numbers
sufficiently large ito elect him. One
great point that he secured on his
antagonist was that he was the father OF
13 children, while Tim Campbell had only
one, and that o mere girl baby. Mr..
Minor is pretty sure to be one OF
the characters OF the next Con-
gress. He will be constantly written
up," and visitors to the Capitol Will
always want to have him pointed out to
them. His defeated antagonist has been

stories have been fastened, and this other
Bowcry boy bids fair to keep the record

A WOMAN'S REVENGE,
She Has a Man Arrested fol
 Adultery.
The Complaint Makes Her a Party to the Offense. The Defendant
 Says 1t's BIackmaiI.

The revenge of woman took a curi ous turn yesterday morning. On com plaint of Miss Phoebe A. Lawlyss, who claims to have sustained illicit relations With him, J. M. Sparks, the late proprie. tor of the Lemon hotel was arrested on g charge of adultery. The warrant was served by Deputy United States Mar shal Slankard and the defendant was arralgned before Commissioner Cren- shaw. The hearing will take place this morning.
 Mir. Sparks is a married man and says that blackmail has been levied upon him. The complainant came here rom California less than a year ago and during part of the time Sparks was proprietor of the Lemon, she lodged there. She after ward went back to California but returned to Phnnix short time ago.
 Sparks does not admit the illicit re- latlons charged by the complainant but says that while she resided at his hotel she tried to persuade him to desert his Wlfe and elope with her. While she was in California he received letters from her mportuning financial assist ance and when he refused to render it sIle began writing letters of a threaten Ing character in which she hinted at the prosecution which has been begun.
 There were indications last night that the matter might be adjusted if the government should consent to it. Rut Ii not. one or both of the parties will be awkwardly situated. Should the charge be sustained in the federal court, the fact that the defendant is married man will leave him nothing but imprisonment or fine. In the sa nl~ ~,---. .l.e -oIA ia i.ls.I.o'o violation ot the Edmunds act will also have been proven and she will be apparently placed In the same situation.
 Still even in that case che might be saved by one of those eccentricities often born in jury boxes. In the Price Cheshire case for instance, the woman was acquitted and the man was con- victed by another jury the next day on precisely the same evidence.

PARTIAL CONFESSION,
The Train Robber Leader
 Makes Admissions.
He Knows Who Committed the Crime-lmpIicates Armer But
 Refuses to Say Any More.

Oscar Rogers, the train robber. has
 admitted his identity and more,
 Southern Pacific Attorney Frank Cox
 and Detective Will Smith returned yesterday morning from Florence
 where Rogers has been lodged in jail. He said that he was at Maricopa on the night of the robbery and that he knows the men who committed it. though he took no part in it himself. One of these men, he says, was Armer and he only confesses this much be- cause Armer IS already in custody and has been identified so that any further attempt at concealment is useless. The name Of the other man Rogers will not disclose.
 The REPUBLICANS story of his cap- ture is confirmed. It was effected bv a party of ranchmen armed, with a de- serlption of him sent out by the South ern Pacific railroad. He was pursued eight miles before he WAS overhauled and in his flight he threw away his re- volver. He denies that he was with Arm CT at any time after the robbery. He says he was not one of the three In the camp ralded by Sheriff Murphy and Deputy Widmer.
 His story is regarded as an exceedingly lame one. His ad- mission of his presence at Maricopa and his knowledge of the robbery in themselves constitute damning evidence against him and his refusal to name the other robber strengthens it.
 The place of his capture which would most likely have been reached by him from the camp near Fishers ranch further tightens the net. It only re- mains for the trainmen to identify him but even this is not considered neces- sary to his ultimate appearance upon the scaffold.

Washington Is Unique In That It Only Has

 Strangers to Washington often re, mark upon the custom of addressing one at all times of the day by the uniform salutation Good morning." It sounds odd to the westerner to hear one address him with good morning at . o'clock in the af, -r noon.
 This custom is as old as the con greSs of ihe United States and the hours ti executive business Tn the various departments, lt Is said to be directly due to the morning hour in congress. Tie standing rules of the two houses of congress provide for a morning hour. which extends from 12 to 2o'clock and that provision has made 1t common to refer Co morn ing business in congress. which oc- CUTS before the regular order.

Maryland Is not much given to bragging of what she did in Revolu- tiOnary times, but if she exhibited as much energy in blowing her own horn as Massachusetts does in blow ing hers, she could soon make Bunker Hill and Lexington seem compara- lively petty events. In the matter of patriotic contempt for tea, the Peggy Stewart incident at Annapolis has long ago made Boston feel tired of its own little affair, and the people of the good old town of Frederick celebrate a historic episode that would long ago have been crowned with the laurels of innumerable poems and orations had 1t occurred in New England.
 This was nothing less than the bold action of the county court of Freder- ick, which, on the 23d day of Novem- Der, 1765, had the courage to virtual ly declare the stamp act null and void and to beard the British lion in his parliamentary den. The Freder- ick court led the way in this display of judicial heroism, but we doubt if the incident has ever been recorded in any general school history, or if the New England children who have been nourished and brought up on stories of the Boston tea party and of the bravery of Massachusetts patriots ever heard syllable of the sturdy old Frederick court. .-Baltimore Sun.

Paderewsld, while still a professor at the COnservatOire of Warsaw, was one night at the house of Swiczto- chowsEd, the Polish htterateur. The poet declared that no living compos- CT could ever compare with Mozart in simplicity and beauty. Paderew- ski at the moment simply shrugged his shoulders, but on the following evening he went to the same house and sat down at the piano.
 May play you a little thing of Mozart's which perhaps you do not knowl" he said.
 He played the minuet. Swiczto- chowski was enchanted and cried:
