WILL SHELTER THE POLICEMEN.
Matchbox Has Been Erected In
Front eff the White House.

An additional structure has been erected
in the White House grounds. 1t is not an
ornament to the landscape by any means.
but that is of no special consequence, as in
this ornamentatio has been subordnated
entirely to usefulness. At least, that Is
the purpose of the new addition, which is,
in fact. nothing more or less than a sentry
box for the convenience OF the armed
guards whJ watch the Presidents house
day and night.
The rev watch house is situated at the
outer edge of the somi-circular driveway
from the Pennsylvania. avenue front. Gi-
rectly in front of the main entrance and
not more than fifty feet away from the
port CCchere. 1t is a small glass-paneled
affair Of frame, buff CoOTed TO sides
and strawberry coloTed as to roof. 1t has
a general resemblance to the transfer sta
ton house at the corner OF pennsylvania
avenue and II IL street, but is not SO
large or pretentjous. 1t made its debut
yesterday having sprung up Ike n mUSh-
room in the dark ness Of the UiIht before.
The sole purpose Of the box, as stated 1t
the White House. is to shelter the men on
duty in the grounds at night from the
bleak northwest winds that drive. with
icy blasts across the open lawn al the
front of the mansion. 1t will be most
grateful shelter undoubtedly to the police
men, who otherwise wonltO be obliged to
stand out in front of the building all
through the long dismal nights of winter
1t il said that another similar structure is

trance to the grounds in few days.

HIS LIFE ENDE
Thomas Ash Uses a Razor With Deadly
Effect
A Determined Suicide with the Old
Story of Drink and a Mis-
spent Life.

Thomas Ash, better known to his world
as Tommy Ash, cut his throat this after
noon in a room over RAGS saloon, No. 1903
ID street northwest. He was dead when
found. There are few sensational details
about the death. 1t was the old. old story
of spree and insane despoEdency fol-
lowing it. He was about thirty-two years
old, and sometimes found employment Us
a waiter at Crowley's. When not thus
occupied he did odd jobs. Often, it is said,
he did nothing at ali but drink ana loaf.
He hung out good deal at RAGS saloon,
because in other times he roOmeu over
what is now the bar.
1t was in this place that he killed himself
this afternoon. Tommy had been out OF
work for some time and had been on a
spree. He was iver the worst Of it, but
early in the day seemed to his acquaint-
ances to be i'll very depressed state OF
mind. Shortly after noon ne went to the
saloon and threatened to Kali himself, at
the same time producing pistol, as If to
make good his threat. The bartender. a
stalwart fellow, disarmed Ash ana partly
quieted him. Ash went out. Later he re-
turned and passed through the saloon,
going ont the back door. The same bar
tender who had disarmed him before
thought that all was over, and that Assn
would do himself no harm.
The latter, climbed to the roof of a shed,
ana broke through the back window OF the
sec end tory room. The bartender heard

The man Redeemed with blood, the form
writhing on the floor, the mouth gasping
and gulping and kissing, ana the eyes and
hands opening and closing conyulsively.
The red-smeared razor was beside the
body and scarlet flood was gushing from
the victims threat. Help was called. Police
We're the first to arrive but the man was
dead. There was no need Of calling the
ambulance. The blood-soaked room was
licked and the coroner notified.
The time of the INQUEST has not been de-
termined. Clusters of people hung around
the doors OF the various houses in the
neighborhood and discussed the deed. All
knew Tommy Ash. Some said that they
had noticed that he had been acting
queer of late" Some said that he was "a
good fellow in his way, and some declared
that he was better Off Ash's sister stays

that until April. 1892, she supported her
husband and herself, when she longer re-

Likely Not to Differ Much From VAL

NEW YORK, December 6.-The Evening

maintained as long possible as to the
sent to this country next year for the
Americas cup, except that at least one of

receipt of the challenge next week. The
load water line will then be known. Other
matters of interest connected with chaI-

ed out, however, in the past and are sure
to do so this year.
1t is said by those who are in a position
to know that the challenger will be a keel

having demonstrated that keel boat

Both Lord Dunraven and Mr.. Watson, the
designer, were satisfied in that respect.
They came to the conclusion, however,
that some Improvement In sails would be
an advantage in the next boat, and when
Ratsey has completed his work for the
new challenger, radical changes in the
shape of some of the head sails will be
found. Otherwise ii is declared that the
boat will differ but little from the Britain

NEW YORK, December 6.-Secretary j.
V. s. Oddie of the New York Yacht Club
has received by cable the full text of Lord

upon by the Americas cup committee and
its action ratified by the yacht club.

Congress Urged to Repeal the Duty
ON Sugar.


ST. LOUIS. Mo-. December 6.-The dele
gates to the meeting of the national live
stock exchange arrived today, prepared for
a session of hard work. The main purpose
of the delegates. apparently. is to take
action upon the inhibition against Ameri-
can cattle by foreign countries, and espe-
claliy Germany. The exchange was called
to order little after noon by President
w. I'll. Tho mpson of Chicago.
The question of the war upon American
cattle by foreign countries came early to
the front by the introduction of a memorial
10 Congress with relation to the existing
state of affairs Its reading was met with
manifest signs of approval by the entire
gathering
The presenting of the paper was pre-
ceded by an explanation of Its purposes.
namely:
The obtaining of relief through Congress
from the unfortunate embargo placed upon
few American products, notably live
stock, dressed beef and hog products, on ac-
count of the duty imposed by our recent
tariff act upon raw and refined sugars
frcn Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark
and Austria. thus praC tically closing those
markets to Us. a continuance of which
means disaster to farming and live stock
interests of this country.
The paper goes on:
Prom $3.50 to very recent date We
have enjoyed a large business with those
countries. particularly Germany and
Frlrce. This was undoubtedly because up
to the enactment of the new tariff act no
duty was imposed 10y the United States
upon raw sugar Heretofore we have been
enabled. to send our products to them,
while they. i'm turn, sent raw and refined
Sa-GT 10 as. The recent placing of q tariff
on Cpw sugar has destroyed this commerce,
for Il is an unQuestionable fact that the
late action of these countries is wholly and
entirely. due to the attitude of our tariff
meas Ires in relation TO the expectation of
sugars and IT must be conceded that our
live stock and dressed beef interests will
continue to suffer so long our present
tariff law on sugar remailS in force
From 1890, when this exchange OF COM
mcrce went into effect, up to n recent
date those countries had not discovered
an unhealthy animal among all the car
goes which we have exported nor a dis
eased piece of meat AS matter of fact,
we do not export Texas cattle We urge
immediate action on the part of Congress
toward the repeating of the duty on raw
sugar and the modification OF that on re-
fined, thus restoring our pleasant COM
mcrcial relations with these countries"
"MlllonS of dollars worth OF cattle and
hogs and their products have been eS-
ported annually from this country to Ger
many and other countries, and unless the
existing embargo is raised promptly from
our live cattle, dressed beef and hog pro-
ducts, the loss of this outlet means great
and irreparable injury to us
The paper. as well as numbers of others,
were referred to proper committees.
