The Dalles by a tough who had taken
exception to something the preacher had
said. He waited for him at the church
door and pounced upon him. The young
preacher made very gallant struggle,
but finally went down, the thug then beat
him numerically.

ENG LISH BA THING CUSTOMS.

The Epglishman shows nothing more
typical of himself than the manner in which
he bathes at the sea ashore. The English
look upon bathing as immodest. therefore
they go the whole length possible, and
battle in the ocean in a manner shocking
to visitors.
Men and women do not use the same
beach, but as they are separated only by
few hundred yards, are in plain sight of
other, and might as well use the same
grounds. As they are supposed to be
separated the bathing Costumes are the
most extraordinary. The suits for the
women are made in one piece, skirts not
considered necessary; in short, they are
simply the old-fashionad bathing suits
worn in America by the mon. The suits
are often cut decollette and come only to the
knese. The men wear remarkable garb;
nothing less than the swimming tights of
the American small boy when he slips way
to an unfreauented stream.
AS a result of the separate bathing the
English bath is stupid and unpleasant
The pleasant, proper camaraderie, which
is possible at French and American resorts,
is impossible.
Each English woman as she appears on
the beach must bring her stick with her;
she could never take her morning constitu-
uonal without it. 1t is no uncommon thing
to see an English party on the beach, the
women all armed with walking sticks and
the men all minus that article.
The English beaches are markedly In
ferior TO those of America. At many places
the bather is compelled to wear sandals
with wooden soles to keep the stones from
cutting his feet, while in three or four
steps at high tide he is over his head.

HELP 1T ALONG.

No doubt is entertained that the colored
citizens of America viii have a creditable
exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition, Illus
trating the vast progress they have made
since they became j free and independent
people.
Their efforts in the Southern States in
this direction have been in the main sue
cassful because the States themselves Were
Interested and in some Instances assisted
with appropr iations for that especial
cause, while giving other moneys for the
proper representation of the Common
wealths at lcKse.
or all places in the country, the colored
people of the District of Columbia, who
embody The highest average Of intelligence
of the race in any section OF America,
should b. we'll represented at Atlanta, but
they have no Appropriation TO aid them and
are therefore compelled to depend wholly
upon their own ezertions and resources.
Their earnest I'D sagacious efforts have
been TO some extent rewarded, but much
yet remains to be done, and il is apparent
they are bent-upon doing it bravely.
The fete which is to be held in the grounds
of Howard University this afternoon and
evening is one of the most elaborate pro-
jects yet devised for raising funds. Re-
freshments and amusements and more or
less serious speech making will furnish
every imaginable attraction for all who
feel an interest in this laudable work, and
if the weather be propitious, doubtless
largo sum will be realized.
The Times would also suggest that per
sons of public spirit and plethoric pockets
would earn the thanks of the whole Dis
trict and of the colored race in general, by
liberal contributions to aid the colored
people of this region to make an adequate
display at the great Southern and Inter
national Exposition.

Big JOB ON THEIR HANDS
New Political Party Who Want to
Move the Capitol.
It Is One OF the Beams in the Plat
form moftseIndependentA a mert-
cans of Kansas

The new Independent American party,
which is called TO nleettn Convention at To-
peka, Kas., September 5. Is said to
favor, among other things, a removal
OF the National Capital to a more central
location. 1t is this article of its political
faith which is of most interest to Washing
touiaDs, although, of course. no one here
believes that the Federal Capital viii ever
be removed.
The proposition Is not n new one. 1t has
been repeatedly advanced In Congress,
aud 1t was advocated with conspicuous
force and ability at the second session
OF the Fifty-third Congress, by Mr.. De
Armoud, OF Missouri In private CONVEX
satiou. however. Mr.. De Almond never
hesitated to express his doubt that any
proposition v..ieh involved the removal
OF the Capital to IS point farther West or
South was likely to be adopted by Congress.
1t is not generally known that the loca-
ton of the National Capital on the Pota-
mae River was brought about by Alexander
Hamilton, the first Secretary OF the Treas
ury, with the cooperation OF Thomas Jes
ferson. >Hamilton had laid before Con-
gress plan for the assumption by the Fed
Government OF the debts of the several
States growing out of the revolt Of the
colonies against the mother country. The
ooutuclu teiuDttS ds d Iuie opposed as
sumption. while the Northerners generally

Congress. at the same time, was also cpn-
ffonted with a contest among it's MEN,

whether it should fall to the North or the
South. was burning question, second only
to that OF assumption OF local debts. HAM
ilton was Indifferent as to which state Sc
cured this honor. He had. however, cham
pioned the assumption plan with all the
force OF his fiery and energetic nature.
and he "a " in this contest over the CAPITAL
an opportunity to help his assumption
plan.
He decided, therefore, TO sacrifice what
be regarded as a trifling question, and
thus save financial policy which he con
sidered To lie of vital importance, and the
very corner stone OF the government
Thomas Jefferson had Just returned from
France and taken his place at the head
OF the Washington. Cabinet He had,
moreover, no prefdices at that time
against the author of the assumption
policy.
With no line marked cut for his conduct,
and ready until events decided other WISE TO
sustain the administra ;ion. he fell in easily
with the schemes OF his colleague. There
was" as one historian naively puts it. "a
little talk and a little dinner and Hamilton
agreed to secure the votes for a Southern
capital, while jefferson promised TO do the
same for assumpti ton
As result the capital was located on
Southern soil and Hamilton's plan of as
sumption passed both Houses of Congress
by fair ma jority.

The work has been hedgcd about with
difficulties so far, but these obstacles will
not continue, the members say, after the
area upon which they are now employed
is finished.
There's n great deal of work to be done in
the county, Col. Bates says. Considerable
property beyond Boundary, he ascer-
tainsd, is assessed at too high q figure,
and there are inequalities there that
require correction.
1t is the opinion of the board that the
work required of it cannot be completed
in the time given. Under the law, the
report sho.ild be ready by the first Mon
day in January, 1896, but under the
circumstances il is regarded as q physical
impOssibiiity to haye it ready by that
time.
Several conferences bet ween President
Bates and the Commissioners have been
held concerning the matter, and 1t has
been determined to ask Congress for an
extension OF the time to January /, 1897.
No hardship can result, IL is argued and
in the end the result will be much more sat
isfactory 20
Col. Bates propositioa is to have the
assistant ASSESSORS continue their work
until July 81 u next year, then resolvs
into the board OF revisers and sit until
that work is complete, and have the re-
port ready by the first Monday in the suc
ceeding January. This VIII require o.
OF the collections, as was
done This year, but IL is not believed that
there can be reasonable objection made
to that method, since the benefits that will
result will be found in a much more eQuit-
able adjustment of values.
BY composing the report by January
as suggested, the assessor will have ample
time TO get the assessments on his books
for the May collection.

WASHING TON ASIAN ART CENTER.

WASHING TON AS AN ART CENTER.
August and September are months when
the hey-day in the bc0d of artists grows
riotous and when they court nature with
al the ardor of sincere and passionate
lover. Washing ton studios are almost
deserted. Only those few linger who have
Ywork in hand which cannot well be de-
ferred.
1t is a JOYOUS end gentle mob of men
and women, youths and maidens, who are
now aiie.d transferring with magic brush
to lasting canvas the treasures of woods
and marsh, mountain and beach. Never
before has there been so general an exodus
of mature and amateur as this year, and
they are certain to return with sketches
and studies which will not only add to
their own reputation. hut also to the fame
Washington as a growing art center, when
completed and put upon public exhibition.
Washington's rapidly increasing develop
ment as a center for the production of art
works and for education in art is arouSiDg
general interest. New York's much-vaunted
Art League no longer monopolizes the
attention of student and critics. Our own
Art Leagr., and Corcoran School of Art
are now of equal reputation with the best
schools of America.
The Corcoran Gallery OF Art contains a
splendid collection. which will soon be
greatly enriched when the magnificent
new gallery shall have been completed
Few cities of America can boast of finer
private collections than those of a humber
of citizens of Washington.
A much-raoded addition to existing art
machinery is a studio building, where artists
may concentrate in the best of workshops
and have a commodious scAooland favorable
light for exhibitions.
Another project which should be con-
stantiy agitated by artists and lovers of
art, is the establishment of a national
gallery as a repository for art treasures
of all periods and for the encouragement Of
a popular art spirit and the production of
great works by American artists. 1t is a
big undertaking to convince typical Con-
gressmen of the Importance of such an
Institution, but it can he done.
Washington will one day have its Louvre.

A SUBURBAN LAMENrAT1oN.

Submerged completely under great
tidal wave of sympathy we quote the
following lamentation from our sincerely
esteemed contemporary, the Falls Church

No country village has reached the ideal
existence until it can coast of a bra SIS band.
Every citizen, from the small boy up to
his honor, the mayor, takes persons;
interest in such an organization, and is
ready 10 root for it on state occasions.
Once upon q time we had q band that
dispensed soui-inspiring music during the
long summer evenings. but now those re-
hearsals. concerts and serenades are as
myths of the past. and Falls Church has
degenerated.in into q bandless town.
And yet our profound regret for the
bandless condition so much bemoaned by
our able neighbor Is not unmixed with
q tingling desire to extend congratula-
tons. While Music. the sweet twin-slster
Of Poetry should be wooed by village lads

He loves to explore hidden min es OF truth
His life has been checkered with reverses
He only trusts those whom he first tests -
Another describes him as successful
twithin liniitationst and popular. warm
hearted but cautions, a vigorous person
liable to lose money and aims. and to
gain them -
Another says: He counseis Others bet
ter than himself; the ladies sway him; his
views are clear TO himself, but freaks of
opinions will sometimes astonish his
friends
The last one gives him IAN excellent
opinion of himself, because he is generally
made much of by the other sex, and he
in turn, also is subservient to the other sex.
