ANACOSTIA.

Great excitement was caused last night
in the business portion of Monroe street,
Anacostia, by Mrs. Julia Burgess, wife of
Mr.. John Burgess, living on Polk street
near Jefferson, who, while out attending
to some business, suddenly became violent
ly insane. Mrs. Burgess ran into store
screaming that some one was about to kill
her. Efforts were made to quiet her, but
without avail, until Mr.. Burgess, who had
been speedily sent for. arrived, when Mrs.
Burgess quietly accompanied her husband
home. Before reaching the latter, how
ever, she again became so excited that Mr..
Burgess was compelled to send to the An
acostia substation for an officer. Sergeant
Anderson directed Policeman Allen to go
to the house, which the latter did, and
conveyed the unfortunate woman to the
substation, where the officers were forced
to put Mrs. Burgess in cell in order to
even partially control her. Medical aid
was summoned and physicians, with
friends who heard of the sad affair and
called at the station, did everything that
could possibly be done to benefit Mrs. Bur-
CESS, but without good result and she was
taken to the fifth precinct. police station,
SO that she could be better attended to. 1t
is expected. that Mrs Burgess will be re-
moved to st. Elizabeth's Asylum in day
or two.

MONUMENTAL STRUCTURE,

Erected for a Great Business-The
Product Manufactured Under Its Roof

Land. .-
James Pyle of New York, the manufac-
turer of the celebrated Pearline washing
compound, is now erecting handsome and
towering warehouse on the NV. corner of
Washington and Charlton streets, n. Y.
city. This building is a magnificent monu-
ment to the power of advertising skillfully
directed, in connection with an article Of
real merit.
Although James Pyle established the firm
over forty years ago, Pearline has been its
staple trade for little more than 1S years.
-dr Pyle was at that time convinced that
he had a meritorious article and believed
that, by putting it before the public in a
proper manner, a need for Its use would be
recognized and a fine business built up in
corsequence.
A limit was set, with the idea that should
the sales of Pearline reach certain
amount he would be thoroughly satisfied
This limit Of satisfaction was so far from
being too high, that at present and for
years past, from twelve to fifteen times the
expected volume of yearly business has
teen done by Mr.. Pyle.
The need for larger space and greater ac-
&C ommodations to fit this wonderful growth
has been felt for considerable time past

Uncle Nick" Young says the umpire
question is causing as much trouble in base
ball circles as the free silver problem in
politics. From the players standpoint, Tim
Keefe and Bob Emslie are the only compe-
tent members of the present league staff.
Belts has been decapitated, and Long and
Murray are thought to be the next victims
arked for slaughter. "Uncle Nick" has
been absent from headquarters all the
week. AS a result of his absence, it is un-
derstood that new member of the league
staff of umpires has been selected. His
rame Is withheld, but he comes from the
east and it Is claimed for him that he has
q reputation that promises to serve him
well in league company. 1t is essential for
an umpire to secure the respect and con-
fidence of the players, as we'll as the public.
There is general complaint against UNI
pires standing behind the pitchers, and at
tempting to judge balls and strikes cor
rectly. Many of the most experienced
players in the league declare it is an i'm
possibility. The umpire may say that he
goes back of the pitcher to watch the sec
ond base plays. In the average game there
are not a half dozen attempts to steal Sec
ond and then it Is easy for the umpire to
step to the right or left of the home plate

When Pearline was first put upon the
market, soap makers throughout the coun-
try laughed at the idea of any washing
compound, however good, supplanting the
old d-fashioned soap. Events have, however
proved them in error, for Pearline has bo-
come a household word throughout the
Iergth and breadth of the country, and
most soap makers are now striving Tor

In the course of year nearly forty mil
lions of packages of Pearline are consumed
in the United States Such figures as these
stun the Imagination in its efforts to realize
them.

aging the 1892 team, the best team Wash

says: The responsibility rests not with the

Early in the spring months 1t was pointed

for the difficulties under which he labor

work in short stretches-when this is over
examinations follow, and a lunch at IL
