The active steamboat men of Washington
will soon be in possession of their own hand
some headquarters building.
force of workmen is now engaged in
completing the inside work of Neptune Tenn
pie, a handsome pressed-brick front structure,
No. 1850 Seventh street southwest, opposite
the Office of Harbormaster Sutton, on the
river front. The structure was erected jointly
by Washington Harbor, No. l, of the Ameri-
can Association ofMaster Pilots, and the Ma
rine Engineers Beneficial Association, No.
SO. The lower floor is a commodious store
room. while above will be a large meeting
hail and sitting-rooms.
The temple will be ready for occupancy by
December !, ard the occasion will be cele-
brated by a "house-warming, given in that
cordial manner which is so characteristic of
the bluff sons OF old Father Neptune. Hand
some furniture. fixtures, and decorations for
the temple have been presented to the above
organizations by several of the Washington
steamboat companies and managers. There
has long been felt the need here of such an
institution as the temple will be, and its pro-
jectors are ia happy frame of mind over the
nearness Of its completion.

ANACOSTIA NEWS.

W. n. Freeman has begun the erection OF a
small frame dwelling on Hamilton road near
Good Hope.
Miss Millie Peck, daughter of W. n. Peck,
is recovering from an attack Of the grip.
Mrs. Thomas Griffith was reported in a
critical condition Friday night.
The horse attached to the wagon of r. W.
Blair, baker, took fright on the Anaeostia
bridge about noon Friday and ran away. A
collision with country team resulted, with
considerable damage TO both wagons.
The local liquor men are somewhat nervous
about the prospect OF obtaining licenses for
the coming year. Several weeks ago the local
churches and temperance organizations
passed emphatic resolutions declaring war on
allliquor selling in Anacostia, wholesale or
retail, Legitimate and illegitimate. The liquor
men, who are used to this sort of thing every
year, treated the matter with Indifference. but
1t now appears that the influence against
license is more potent than over.

An Unusual Coincidence.

The Vienna correspond ent Of tho
London Standard says that on one Of
the estates of Count Potoclsi in Galicia
the very rare event of a mother, daugh-
ter and granddaughter each giving
birth to son on the same day has just
occurred. The mother is forty-cight,
and the infant son Is her sixteenth
child. The daughter, who has just
presented her husband with his eighth,
is thirty three years old, and the grand
daughter, who was married last year,
is not yet quite sixteen All the three
newborn sons arc strong and healthy,
nnd the same NAV be said of their
mothers, who belong to the Polish
peasant class.

A Lightning Artist Who Keeps Up with
tho Auctiopcer.

A Lightning Artist Who Kecps Up with
tho Auctioncer.
The great American dcsideratum of
speed is strilsingly illustrated by
painter who has opened studio and
auction room on one of tho principal
business streets, apparently to demon
strate that Longfcllow was entirely in
error when no wrote 'art is long,
says the Boston Transcript. A man
who happened to stray into the art
gallery one morning chanccd TO speak
of Raphael, and was asked by the
painter who Raphael was, and If he be-
longed In tho 2:30 class Before he
could answer the artist had executed
"The Falls Of the Yellowstone" in oil,
the picture had been framed, sold, and
the purchaser had gone out with the
prize under his arm. The lightning
colorist had his paints spread out be-
fore him in heaps On sort of mortar
board and ranged behind him in pals,
while on one side Of him are the thou
sand canvas frames that he turns off
before breakfast. Follow him while
he produces moonlight scene: First,
he gets out his whitewash brush with
out the long handle, and, dipping it in
the slate-colorcd ink, primes the sky Of
evening. But he is careful to leave o
small circle unscathed in the center;
that is to stand for the moon. Then
across the bottom Of the canvas the
brush is flashed, leaving behind 1t o
heavier trail, while.t two big patches Of
black paint at each side form the
shadowy hills Then, with a narrow
brush of black, tho trees and their
bare branches arc located, as if the
artist were stripping the wheels of an
express wagon. Another dash of black
answers for a. boat, and two irregular
touches arc the men propelling it. BY
this ttime the auctionccr is crying:
"How much for this elegant moonlight
scene in the north woods? Start mel
One dollar and sixty-fve cents do I
hear? Sold!" And the buyer gets the
colors on his sleeve In putting it under
his arm. Little boys" said the auo-
tioneer ut this point, You had better
go homo and give the old folks show.
But, boys" he cries after the slowly
retreating forms, ''comc down to-mor-
row. I'll havo some nice beds put up
hero tonight, so that you needn't go
home to sleep" And the professor"
has the lead by three pictures on tho
auctionecr, who begins to point out the
merits of "an elegant forest scenc."

Mrs. Clevcland's First FInnce.

Doubtless there is one woman in these
United States who is thankful that she
did not marry her first love, says the
Philadelphia Press When she was a.
young girl she met, on a visit to
friends, theological student to whom,
eventually, she became engaged. This
youth Gfterwnrd showed himself flcklc
and Tilted the girl. Later on he again
tilted another young woman to whom
he afterward became engaged and, a.
though she forgavc and subsequently
married him, he has never been any
thing more than very ordinary coun-
try Clergyman whom the first girl
could not regret. She has since mar"
'ried, too, and her present name is Mrs.

FINGER FOR A NEW NOSE.
The Remarkable Operation OF London
Surgeon on Noscless Man.

The Remarkable Operation OF a London
Surgeon on Noselcss Man.
The achievements OF American sur
gcons in bold ind extraordinary opera
tions havo long bccn tho wonder Of the
world. But now from the other side
of the Atlantic comes a story which
shows that the old country is waking
up bit in the art Of cngrafting human
flesh. A young man has put his finger
to his nose, and it remains there per-
manently.
: A few months ago, says the Now
York World, youth whose nasal or
gan was missing, as the result Of on
accident, called ct Charing Cross hos
pital, London, with the request that
tho surgeons would supply the de-
fcicncy, artifcially or 9th erwise. He
expressed himself rs willing to under
60 any sort of treatment by which his
disfgured face might be made fairly
prcsentablo, and not absolutely re-
pulsivo to his best Sunday summer
girl. Mr.. Dloxam, the senior surgeon,
took tho interesting case in hand.
First, the a,nputated finger Of an
other patient was carved and fash
Toned to the scmblancc Of nose, end
then securely grated on the face. But
it was found that this nutilnted digi-
Ital appendage had not survived It's cut
ting up. 1t was "dcad," and failed to
take fresh root.
The nose1ess man, nothing daunted,
;thereupon agreed to the surgeons sug-
igestion that ono Of his own tho pa~
'tient's) fingers should be cut off to fur
nish o nasal organ. But in order that
the finger should not be wasted In the
event Of this operation being unsuc-
cessful, it was only half amputated.
Tho patients arm being encased in
plaster, for four weeks he held his own
live finger to his lace in the hope OF its
taking root. This it did. The portion
which was still attached to his hand
was then cut through and soon joined
the rest in adhcring firmly to tho face.
Although minus finger, the young
man now has a. new nose Of his own
flesh md blood.
The transferred cartilage hos been so
manipulated by clover DR.. Bloxam that
It's original identity is entirely lost,
and the further process of shaping it is
now being proccedea with. 1t is not
known whether the plucky young
Briton prefers the ''nez retrousse" or
the aquiline. He will doubtless be in
a position to take his choice. He Is
certainly not the sort of man to be con-
tent with any sort Of nose that hap
pens to turn up.

Tho Saviour calls.
Ye wanderers come,
On, ye bcnightcd souls,
Why longer roam?
The Spirit calls to-day,
Yield To His power;
Oh. grievc Him not away,
'Tis mercy's hour.
Amen to This.

Some people fail entirely to pray for
the thing they most need. A brother
was praying with much noise for faith
soul-saving faith, sin-killing faith,
devil-driving faith" Just then a
brother, to wiom the noisy man owed
large bill, shouted out: "Amen,
amen, and give us debt-paying faith,
too." 1t may be as well to pray at 9th
ers less and pray to God more about
our own sins and weaknesses; and not
cut short our prayers if they hit our
own poclzct-boolss.-Farm and Fire
side.

oity's Dumping Grounds Entirely
Without Laborers.
Drivers and Sweepers Wait on
Commissioner Andrews.
They Demand the $50, 900 Increased
Pay Due Them.

Decentralization prevails In the Street
Cleaning Department to-day. While
the drivers and hostlers and sweepers
are clamoring for the advance of $40 n
month per man. under the law of April
26, last, the laborers on the mud scows
on the North and East Rivers have
struck, and the dumping grounds are
without workmen.
About fifty OF the night sweepers
assembled at the corner Of Worth street
and Broadway at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, alonw with a committee OF Ave
from Drivers and Holsters Protective
Union, preparatory to calling upon
Commissioner Andrews at his Office In
the new Criminal Court Building and
demanding their back pay. which
amounts to the snug total OF $4,000 up
to the present time.
The portly Commissioner was not ex-
pected until II o'clock. noon, and the
poor laborers and their committee had
to wait about the neighborhood in the
heavy rain until they were all drenched
to the skin. Some of the comments
passed by these hardy tolers were very
uncomplimentary to the fastidious head
of the STRENGTHENING Department.
1t was said at the Street Cleaning De-
partment offices that the men were too
hasty; that certain forms must be gone
through before they could get their
money under the new law. and that
there was no money for them unless II
was taken from the Judgment Fund"
