CHANCES FOR A PoLIcEWoMAN
Widow Thompson Is Wanted as Freak,
Also for Duty in Mercantile House.

Also for Duty in a Mercantile House.
Mrs. Lily A. Thompson, the petite widow,
who is anxious to be a policeman, has been
so beseiged by curiosity mongers, newspaper
correspondents, and inquiring ladies that she
has gone into hiding for the time peing. She
manner of questions and requesting copies OF
her photograph.
One of the latest letters was signed by
August Vogel, and makes Mrs. Thompson
an offer Of SIS per week if she will place her
self on exhibition in Bowery Dime Museum,
clad in a full policemans uniform, with
baton and badge. This offer was promptly
declined by the lady, who said:
''Itis true that [ want 10 serve my city as a
police officer, but nothing can ever induce
me to go on dime museum or any other
stage and figure as freak.
The proposition WAS made to Mrs Thomp-
son last evening that the proprietor of one OF
the big business houses in this city would pay
her fair salary and furnish complete police
uniform If she would consent to patrol the
interior of his establishment from December
l until after the holidays. In order 10 pro-
cure Metropolitan police badge for her, an
effort would be made to have her sworn in
for the time as an additional private.
This proposition rather meets with Mrs.
Thompson's favor, and she said she might be
induced to take such a step as initiatory TO
her appointment on the regular force. "Such
a step" she added, would give me some
experience, and You know the old adage. 'EX-
perience is the best teacher, so if some good
business house makes me a reasonable offer
to patrol their place in the full regimentals of
q copper | may accept 1t.

the crop and CUT the neck of as near the

two tablespoonfuls Of dressing. Sew up the
skin on the back of the neck and fold it over
that the breast may look plump and un-

the body, sew up the vent and truss the
turkey. Lard the breast and legs, or put the
surplus fat taken from the inside of the turkey
over them. Have the oven very hot at first

for fifteen minutes. put one cup Of boiling
water in the pan. Roast ten minutes to the
pound, busting every fifteen minutes. Do
not add any more water unless absolutely
necessary, as the turkey should be basted with
its own drippings.

UNCLE SAM TAKES A HAND.
Internal Revenue Agents Proceeding
Against Speak Easy Keepers

Internal Revenue Agents Proceeding
Against Speak Easy Keepers.
As foreshadowed exclusively in the columns
ofTHE TIMES several days ago, warrants have
been issued at the instance of the local in
ternal revenue agents for the arrest of John
Shea and John Leonard, convicted South
Washington "speak easy keepers, both of
whom are now serving terms in Jail. and
Eugene Mercer, colored, who is out on bail,
charged with selling liquor without having
lice nses so to do.
The warrants charge the above-named par
ties with also having violated the statutes of
the United States by not having government Ii
censes. The same evidence used in the police
court TO convict Shea and Leonard of violat-
ing the District law will be employed by Uncle
Sans agents. The penalty for violating the
statute in selling liquor Without license en-
braces heavy fine and long term OF impris-
onment.
Hereafter, it is said, every "speak easy"
keeper convicted in the police court will be
promptly taken in hand by the internal reve-
nue. officers and prosecuted.

Zum beispiel. The handsome carved din
ing-room mahogany is ignomin1ously ban
ished. In its place are set up two tables that
are Of perfect heart shape. The apiees or
points are joined under an immense true
lovers knot.
Pale green is an exquisite shade, but, oh,
please do not have anything in green at an
engagement luncheon save the maidenhalr
fern. Green is for jealousy ses? II you do,
you will not allow the bride-elect to see it.
Thus. for the luncheon that was gotten up
the other day for Murray Hill fiancee, the
flowers were selected, not only for their
beauty, but for their poetic language.
Forget-me-nots, which mean true love, were
the principal blossoms. the cover laid for the
lovely blonde guest of honor being literally
embedded in the delicate blooms.
For each OF the other girl guests there was
nosegay OF blossoms, selected with especial
regard for their aptness to the maiden's rela-
tions with the spry little god of love. There
were white daisies for the "innocence' of the
Youngest bud of them all; scarlet fuschias for
the 'igood taste OF another; hawthorne for
"hope:" the exquisite little cluster Of tiny
yelloW-white leaves of the lettuce heart, and
bit OF lady's slipper for the capricious beauty
and cold-heartedness OF the oldest deputante
among them; and so on. There iR room for
unlimited changes to be rung on this idea,
and the flower language makes capital sub
iect for chatter in that silent and boreseme
first few minutes of any formal meal
A fieur-de-lis luncheon is pretty compli-
ment to one "born in the purple, born to Joy
and pleasure" as Longfellow puts it. The
table is shaped like the royal Louis VII badge
and is laid with white, with a vaIenoe of gold
leu-de-lis figures on a white ground IAN
ordinary cloth cannot be spread over these
odd-shaped tables.)
Another charming idea for luncheon to
one who has been bit OF a fiirt is to use a
fan-shaped table. Che guests sit on the side
representing the top OF the ian. The "sticks"
are made by ribbons OF delicate tint and har-
monizing shades ending in one large bow
upon a standard representing the meeting
point of the sticks.
The space under the ribbons is turned into
bed of moss and ferns, and thrust into this
bank are long-stemmed American beauty

The Property Sold.

The Potomac Electric Light Company's
property in both the District and Virginia,
comprising the power house and all ma
chinery therein, together with the poles
wires and franchise in the. District and
Virginia, was sold at public auction on
Saturday at noon. The price brought was
1890. The purchaser was Mr.. Wilder Of
Minnesota. who had advanced the money
on the company's bonds. He was repre-
scented at the sale by Mr.. A. H. Watkins Of
st. Paul The amount advanced by Mr.
Wilder is said to have been 5000. The
face value Of the bonds taken as security
was $4,000. The stockholders lose every
thing The auctiOneers of the District prop
erty. Radcliffe. Darr & Co.. stood near the
Virginia end Of the Chain bridge and made
their sale. The Virginia property was sold
from the power house. Then the combined
property was resold from the bridge.
There was an attempt made to stop the
sale through the service of Injunction pa
Pers. The legal proceeding, however, was
tardily made.
The High View Hotel, owned by Mr.
O'Gorman, the president of the electric
company, was not included In the sale.
