Death of Addison d. Virgins.

Mr.. Addison D. Virgins Of New Hamp-
shire died at o'clock last evening at his
residence, TIC street northeast, after an
illness Of about week, of acute pneu-
monia. He was in charge of the elevator
in the Senate wing at the northwest cor
ner of the building, and had been in the
employ Of the Senate for a good many
years. He was universally liked by all
those who had business with the Senate,
and had developed the peculiar ability to
interpret the touch upon the bell-push Of
almost every Senator. So keen was his
that he could tell. at the instant Of the
ringing Of the bell. the identity of the
statesman who wished to be elevated
Mr.. Virgins caught a severe cold while
on duty about ten days ago, suffering Sc
verely during the blizzard from the
draughts that poured through the elevator
shaft. He leaves a widow. who will take

time quite prominent In the affairs of the
state. from which he came to Washington,
and occupied several public offices, the last
being seat In the legislature.

mercial This is shown in the success
which has attended the business career Of
the Bon Marche. whose place Of business
at 314 and 318 7th street is now in the
hands Of the architects and builders. This
establishment is to be enlarged and i'm

A mezZanine story Is to be erected in the

duty of reporting the convention fell upon
the assistant secretary, Mrs. Layton, as
on Thursday evening. That she was quite

very excellent report of that evenings pro-

Shortly after the opening the department

Mrs. Ida v. Hendricks stated that re-
ports Of the convention had been printed
In the papers, a proceeding which she
thought decidedly improper, and that 1t
was none Of tho business of the public
what they did, and that the comrades of
the G. A. r. had ridiculed the ladies for
their supplementary proceedings. Mrs.
McCabe, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Peck, Mrs
Dykes and several others spoke to the
question of illegality, and Mrs. Hendricks
finally appealed to the national president.
Mrs. Wallace, with manifest reluctance
announced that she was not there in an
advisory capacity, but that, as the con-

order Of business in the convention was
in it's own hands, and that If it accepted its
own work it would have to stand as legal.
1t had accepted the result of Thursday
evening, and she would have to rule that
the proceedings were legal.

Tuesday IL Their Day in tho Police
Court.
AT this season of the year Tuesday ia
known as "vag'' day in the Police Court,
for the reason that not many of the tempo
rary residents are brought in on Monday.
This Is because Of the fact that the police
have enough to do Saturday night and
Sunday morning to look after the DRINKS
and disorderly characters who congregate
on the street corners. or in alleys and pub
| lie places, and make night hideous for the
respectable element. These people furnish
about as much business for Mondays court
as the judge can well attend to. SO that the
tramps, as rule, may ask for lodging
Saturday nights without much reason to
fear being locked up
Several Of these unwelcome guests ap-
peared In the procession this morning, and
Judge kmban dealt with them according
to the facts in the particular case.
