Romantic Love Story OF Novelist Barrie and
Mis- MnrY AnscIl. the Actress.

James NJ. Barrie, the famous author who
wrote THE Little Minister" may well he
called latter day Pygmalion Every one
remembers how the great sculptor of Cy-
prus carved suih surprisingly beautiful
ivory statue that he lost his heart to It,
In answer to his prayers Venus broathcd
the breath of life into the cold ivory, and
the lovely woman thus formed became the
wife of the happy sculptor. Not long ago
Mr.. Barrie wrote n play which he called
Walker, London, and in which he por-
traycd his ideal young English girl, free
AS the air, modest as the violet, full Of
life and spirits, and bit of n romp, 1t Is
true, but pure as the limpid waters of a
spring.
After he had created her IT docs not ap-
pear that Mr.. Barrie prayed to Thespis to
breathe life into the veins Of his charming
English heroine, but Thcspis took the
matter into his own hands and when the
curtain fell on the first night OF Walker,
London pygmalion Barrie had seen his
living Gaiateu in the person OF Miss Mary
Anscll, the charming English actress who
impcrsonated his ideal in the play. Mir.
Barrie was too great n lover of n good
dramatic situation to allow the incident
to end there. He promptly fell in love with

JOHN BROWNS MEMORY,

Vigorous Movement Imaugurated to
Erect a Monument at Harper's Ferry.
After many years OF spasmodic effor.
the probabilities now are that a monument
to John Brown will be erected at Harper's
Ferry. on the site OF the historic old en-
CINE house which he converted into q fort
for the protection of his little band Of fol-
lowers. While the old building stood It
served as q shrine to the memory Of
Brown at which thousands stopped to Day
homage and veneration, but II has now
been removed. and nothing remains to
mark the spot around which occurred some
OF the most momentous events In Ameri-
can history. A committee of influential
members OF the race for whose betterment
John Brown died has undertaken to raise
an smount sufficient to erect q monument
IN loving memory Of him. Its chairman IL
Frederick Douglass, and the others are

coed ten or twelve thousand dollars. The
land has already been donated for the pur-
pose OF erecting the monument and II Is
proposed to fnaugurate q widespread agi-
tation In order to secure subscriptions for

GOING ON CRUISERS
Arranging Practice for the State Naval
Militia.
The Ships to Be'UsSd for the PURPOSE
Training Amateur Sailor. in
Practical SSamanxhip.

Arrangements have been completed at
the Navy Department for the usual sum-
mer cruises of the naval militia of the
various states having such organizations.
The reserves of New York CITY and Roches-
ter will be sent to sea next Monday. pro-
vided the cruisers New York and Columbia
are In readiness by that time of which
there is at present little doubt. The cruise
will last about a week, and will include
target practice and great gun drills in Long
Island sound after which the ships will
proceed to sea and give the amateur sailors
genuine taste of deep-water cruising
In order to accommodate all the militia
part of the regular crews Of the ships will
be left at the New York navy yard. The
militia will be expected to perform the
regular work of real tackles, and will have
to work with them. keep the same watches
sleep in the same places. and also observe
all Of the same regulations. The militia
officers, however, will fare better and will
be given accommodations in the ward
rooms.
Lieut.. Scheutze. who is the chief aid of
Assistant Secretary McAdoo in the manage
service proper. will go board either the
New York or the Columbia and will have
general charge and supervision of the
cruise. He will represent the Secretary Of
the Navy, and will be expected to make
a report to the discipline and capability
of the militia.
The naval reserve Of Massachusetts, will
have a deep-sea cruise beginning probably
On the oath instant The monitor Man.
tonomoh and some other vessel Of the new
navy, not yet selected. will be used for
this service. The militia of Pennsylvania
will be taken out on the New York soon
after her return from the cruise with the
New York state militia.
The Columbia is due at Annapolis Roads
on the Sth of August, to receive the bell
presented to her by the Washington Light
Infantry Corps Of this city, in recognition
of the selection Of her name. Therefore, it
will be necessary to substitute another ves-
sci for the Columbia in case the New York
is not large enough to accommodate all the
Pennsylvania sailors. The old monitor Nam
tucket, which has been loaned by the gov
eminent to the state of North Carolina,
will be used by the naval militia Of that
state in their sea exercises. The antiQuat-
ed Michigan, the only war ship on the
great lakes. will be placed at the service of
the naval reserves Of Illinois. the only state
bordering thereon which has as yet such
an organization. The California reserve
will probably be allowed to make a cruise
on the coast defense ship Monterey None
of the other states has a navc organization
that would justify the assignment Of a war
ship for their use. The result of these prac-
teal drills and exercises will be awaited
with considerable interest at the Navy De-
pGrtment, and also by every one interested
in the navy's havingIa strong auxiliary
among the people similar to that possessed
by the army in the state National Guard.

VIII He Renaircd.

The frigate Lancaster, which has just re-
turned from a cruise around the world. is
not to be sent to the naval junk shop right
away, after all. She is one Of the few
wooden vessels now in the navy. and it was
generally feared that her days of useful
ness were practically aover. and that she
would have to be tied UP at a navy yard as
a relic Of other days or be sold to the high
est bidder as wood and old iron. She was
recently inspected and was found to be in
recently returned from foreign station.
1t was found also, that she can be put in
good condition for several years more active
service by the expenditure of about $4,000
for various repairs. This is within the ten
per cent limit of cost Of repairs. and will
undoubtedly be authorized by the Navy De-
partment.

Chesapeake Beach to Do 1t.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Sun says:
Yesterday morning Senator Hill. accom-
panied by Col. McEwan. chief clerk Of the
gineer Hyer Of the Washington and Chesa-
peake Beach Railroad Company, made a
trip to Chesapeake Beach In a carriage
They started about O'clock and dro~e to
the beach via Anacostia and Upper .4arl-
boro'. The measured distance is twenty
five miles. but Senator Hill thinks that on
warm Sunday morning It is about sixty
miles.
BY the time the party reached the beach
they were all warm and dusty and. as the
place was deserted. II was proposed that
they take swim. SO they all jumped out of
their clothes with the agility Of schoolboys
placed the garments on shore. boy fashion.
and plunged into the brackish water of the
bay with a shout of giee. The Senator and
his companions proved to be veritable water
dogs. for they dived, floated and disported
themselves in the water with all the ease
and grace of experts.
Returning. the party stopped at Marl-
boro for dinner. When the landlord Of the
ancient little hotel learned who his distin-
guished guest was. with true Maryland hos
pitality. he insisted that he should stop
over night. During the afternoon and even
ing Senator Hill was presented to a number
OF Marlboro's most prominent citizens, and
talked pol tics with them. AS an extra in
ducement for Senator Hill to remain over
night the landlord showed him tho room
In which George Washington Is said to have
slept during his visits to Marlboro.
IN relating yesterdays experience in
southern Maryland to Senator Gibson today
Mr.. Hill explained that there was a man
down In that section who Endorsed him for
the presidency, so he went down there to
mend his political fences, and added that he
found them in very bad shape.

Lee Belts. a colored porter In the Pull.
man service. who took no part in the strike,
was in the city last evening and he thought
he would go down the river and enjoy the
moonlight at Glymont. Paying 90 cents for
his ticket he got on the boat and went TO
the country excursion place. He bought
two glasses Of orange cider. and while
drinking some one robbed him Of $50. An
cutlery was raised, and . colored man
named David Fisher was accused. He was
arrested when the boat reached the wharf
as the money had been missed on the boat.
and when taken to the fourth precinct sta.
ton the officers searched him and took S27
from him. He was wearing q badge OF the
Grammar Detective Agency Of Cincinnati
and II was stated that he had said on the
boat that he was q detective Instead OF
holding the money as evidence the police re.
turned 1t to the man arrested, and he turn.
ed IT over to his wife. This was why the
money was not in court today as evidence
and the judge thought II singular that the
police should have returned to q man wha,
they should have held to be used as eyf.
dence against him.
The hearing will be concluded tomorrow
