that toad is doing?" she answereds holding
him back.
He glanced down and saw the toad twisting
its legs about until the worm was wrapped
twice around il. Then the toad gave a hop,
and out came the worm. This had been too
fascinating spectacle to the unwary profess
sor. He dashed into the house and back
again, kissed his wife, and. with a regretful
glance at her rippling hair and soft blue eyes,
started off.
Suddenly he rushed back
"Why, DEAR" he cried, II forgot to tell you
that Mr. Smith, the Canadian who wrote the
paper on bacteria, will be here this afternoon
to stop day or two. He may come before

She clasped her hands in mock despair.
"Oh, don't be alarmed! Just let him have q
good soaking in bathtub. Then be will

Smiths own pamphlet on bacteria.
Mrs. Botkine pinned on the wall some col
ored illustrations of various forms OF bacteria
and then surveyed the effect with the calm
satisfaction Of a general who forsees the sue
cess of his maneuvers.
She had done all she could. With this vir-
tuous feeling she was able to go about her
occupations for the day and in the afternoon
even banished the thought of her expected
guest enough to take quiet nap.
She was awakened by a knock at her door,
and the maid handed her a card bearing the
seemingly innocent inscription: 'Mr. Worth

She fingered outside the drawing-room as
long as she dared, and then, putting her trust
in the bathroom, walked in and greeted her
visitor with smile OF timid welcome.
He did not look at all alarming. She was
surprised to see that he was young, darkly
handsome and dressed with more regard to
fashion than the scientific mind generally
deigns to bestow.

MAJOR ARMES is TWO-FACED.

His Wife Says He Appears Gentleman to
the World. but at Home He Is Different.
Mrs. Lucy H. Armes yesterday filed an afi-
her husbands reply to her recent bill for di-
vorce from him.
She admits living in the same house with
him, for the reason that she has no other
place to CO. and becansa she wants to be with
her children and not leave them alone in their
fathers care.
She says "she is indignant at the perndy Of
the man." Since she instituted her suit she
denies that she has lived with her husband as
man and wife. She asserts that she has lived
alone in her own room and has had trouble to
keep her husband out of her room. His acts,
she believes, are intended to make it appear
that she has condoned his offenses since the
institution OF the suit; she alleges that he has
abused and tormented her in many ways. She
admits that. for propriety and her childrens
sake, she sits at the table with her husband.
"George A. Armes," she says, sis fond OF
show" She asserts that he has horses and
carriages which are not needed. She denies
that he has provided servants which are
needed. By his conduct he prevents servants
from remaining, his fault-hnding disposition
and refusal to pay wages being the principal
causes. She says that the trip to Europe
which is spoken of by Armes was planned, so
she believes, in order to prevent divorce pro-
ceedings, which were threatened at that
time because of his conduct, and did not cost
near as much as he stated.
She denies that she has a bank account
and says in order to institute divorce pro-
ceedings she had to borrow money from a
friend. She declares that on July % last
Armes with his counsel and DR.. Chappell
tried to persuade her to sign an order direct
ing the dismissal OF the divorce suit, which
she declined to do unless provision was made
for the separate maintenance of herself and
children. This he declined TO do.
She charges him with intercepting her let
tiers, and as to his assertion that she threw
herself in anger on the grass she denies 1t,
but asserts instead that he knocked her down.
She charges Armes with being untruthful,
treacherous and deceitful, and says that on
the day she made the affidavit he followed
her into her counsel's office and demanded to
see what she had written. She says before
strangers he is a gentleman, but at home he is
not such

please, Mr.. Smith. You will really annoy me
If you refuse"
Sine thought to herself that he little knew
how more than annoyed she was at the
thought Of his possible questions.
As he followed James, Mr.. Smith remarked
to himself that before this experience he
would have vowed that she was too pretty to
be eccentric. He had no wish to bathe, but.
fearing to vex her, meekly proceeded to per-
form his ablutions.
She was so elated that she went to the piano
and sang for half an hour.
She was startled by hearing some one come
rushing into the room behind her She wheeled
on the stool and encountered the gaze of Mr..
Smith, who stood before her, looking de-
cidedly uneasy.

Botkine," he said, Shut / wished to thank
you for your kindness and to make my

GREAT FALLS POWER.

Possibility of Acquiring the Right to the
Water to BE Investigated.
Senator Proctor offered an amendment to
the sundry civil bill yesterday calling on the
Secretary OF War and the Attorney
General for information as to the
possibility of acquiring the right to
the water power of the Great Falls Of the
Potomac, for increasing the water supply of
Washington and generating electricity for
lighting the streets. The amendment also
appropriates $1,000 for expenses of examin-
ing the plans by board of electrical experts.
Mr.. Chandler offered an amendment to that
proposed by Mr.. Proctor directing the Secre-
tary of War to negotiate with the Great Falls
the land on both sides of the falls for the
requirement Of full rights tothe water power.
Both amendments were agreed to.

For moment she felt stunned. Then q
food of questions poured through her mind.
Was the man insane. or what had she done 10
offend him? What was there in science to
turn an apparently NICE young man into such
a distrait savage? The rest OF the day seemed
endless. but at last she described Professor
Botkine and with him a rather desiccated and
.duc up" looking man.
''Here we are at last. said the professor.

taken the train and gone TO Alameda Mr..

She welcomed her guest cordially, but the

What joke have you been playing on me?"
she demanded. ''Who is this Mr.. Smith?"

bia Christian Endeavor Union last evening.
The duties Of this organization committee
are to name a chairman Of the permanent
committee Of '96 and also chairmen of the

After Mr.. Macarthur conducted devotional

and said the '96 committee would be the most
important ever appointed by the District
union. He also spoke Of the recommends
'tions adopted by the officers, which Secretary
Morgan read.
Mr.. Percy Foster thought the preliminary
committee would make report and be dis
charged. Mr.. Smith told Of the work con-
nectod with the capture Of the convention of
Sc, but said that committee had a few bills to
pay and hoped they would not yet be dis
charged, which suggestion was adopted. He

proved. Mr.. Macarthur stated an invitation

Memorial Society to hold an echo convention
mass meeting in that church Friday evening
next, at which there will be ten-minute re-
ports from number OF delegates to Cleve-
land. The invitation was accepted. Mr..
Foster said there would probably be more of
the Washington '96 buttons on sale in few
DAYS.
The meeting closed with short address by
Mr.. W. II. Lewis, of Washington State,
formerly of this city. Mr.. Lewis said no one
was more happy than he that the convention
of SO was to be held in Washington. He
knew that those who come will receive the
best attention, and the convention will be
well managed. He congratulated the leeal
delegates on their clean campaign. and said
his only regret was that he could not be here
and take part in the preparatory work.

postpone for one year the reunion which was
to have been held at the Chattanooga battle

monuments by States whose troops fought
