EFFECT OF TIE BAD WEATHER
The Parade Proposed for Wash.
ington's Birthday.
MATTERS OF IN TER EST

The almost unprecedented weather was
The chief reason why the troops OF the
District of Columbia National Guard did
rot take possession of the new armory
during the past week, as announced. An
other reason for the postponement was
fear that arms and accouterments might
81 fer great damage from rust If they were
moved during stormy weather and placed
where dampness might be lurking.
Without a possibility of disappointment
the local soldiers may complete arrange
me nts for changing quarters during the
early part of the coming week, either Mon
day or Tuesday. Another decision of spe-
dial interest has been reached. and 1t is
that the men will not be required to march
from the Center Market to the new struc-
ture, as was the original intention.
Gen. Ordway, unless something unfore-
seen turns up within the next few hours,
will leave Monday for Europe, to be
absent from the city during the next three
weeks. The command Of the brigade WILL
of course, devolve upon the officer next In
rank who is Col. Cecil Clay OF the second
regiment Gen. Ordway will meet this
evening at headquarters his regimental ana
battalion commanders, and discuss with
them the details of the move, the assign
ment to quarters. the assignment or nights
for the use of Convention Hall, and such
other matters as may need attention.
The battalion quartermasters are at last
going to have an opportunity TO work, and
that is what a quartermaster Is for. All
property. including the personal equipment
of the men, must be transferred by the
officers mentioned.

porter yesterday that the new building,
with the exception of the drill shed for the

health will not be endangered by taking

"a WISE MOVE"
Dividing the Associated Press Terri
tory Into Four Divisions.

The Richmond, Va, State says:
'"The annual meeting of the Associated
Press was in more senses than one great
success. Despite the great expense Of run
ming such far-reaching organization, the
receipts have exceeded the expenses. This
fact speaks well for the ability of the ex-
ecutive department of the greatest news
gathering organization in the world. 1t
is run solely for the benefit If its members.
and the members know 1T and appreciate
the fact.
There was wisdom in the action in divid-
ing the territory of the association into
four grand divisions and giving the MEM
hers in each division the selection of five
members to act as an advisory board. The
southern division is ably represented by
practical men, who know news and how to
get it, and who will strengthen the VIC
torious Associated Press. Noyes, Ochs.
Baskette, Baker and Cabaniss are not men
who have played at making newspapers"

Ch,rrcs Not justified.

The chief matter Of interest in the min
ers' convention at Columbus. Ohio yester-
day was the report Of the committee Of
fifteen to the effect that 1t had not found
sufficient evidence to Justify the allega-
ticn of Mark Wild. that he had been given
money corruptly by John Mcbride to pull
out as leader of the Debs men in the Hook
ing Valley railroad strike. This report was
rot satisfactory to Mr.. Mcbride and his
friends. They Insisted upon and finally
carried their wish to have the report re-
committed, with instructions to the COM
mittee to make an effort to settle the mat
ter definitely one way or the other.

FACE is CHANGING.
Mrs. Hanson May In Time Have the APP
pearance of AN Ape.

Mrs. Hanson May In Time Have the APP
pearsnce of an Ape.
From the New York World.
John Molansky is not the only per-
son in New York whose face and mead
are losing semblance of humanity ana
becoming like those of an ape. Mrs.
Mary Hanson, who for seven years mas
been an inmate Of the Montiefiore
home for chronic invalids, at 13sth
street and the boulevard, is suffering
from the same disease. which in her
case has progressed much farther than
in that of Molansky.
Her head, hands and feet have grown
to be of enormous size, so that she rs
unable to walk and moves with great
difficulty from her bed to the chair IN
which she spends the hours during
which she is awake.
She is now Al years old-the same age
as Molansky-and has suffered from
the disease for nearly 10 years,
although at first the physicians were
unable to diagnose the trouble or in
any way to explain the cause of Ut. She
is being treated now with hypodermic
Injections of the extract OF thyroid,
which is obtained from the provocative
glands of sheep. While no hope Of
cure is expected in her case, her suffer-
ings are being mitigated to some ex-
tent by the treatment Of the abnormal
growth hindered II not completely
stopped.
Mrs. Hanson presents a strange APP
pearance. Her head is greatly in
creased IN size and the hair Is coarse
and thick. Her tongue Is so enlarged
as to almost fill her mouth, rendering
speech slow and difficult. Her hands
are fully three times the size Of those
of an ordinary woman.
In spite Of this she Is able to use
them TO some extent and passes the
time sewing and knitting. The en-
largement ceases at the wrists. and the
upper portions Of her arms are of al
most normal size. Her enforced lack
OF exercise has led to many secondary
troubles, which will probably. the ply
sicians say, end in death.

caused the bear to look UP. There sat

He uttered a growl at first sight and
partly reared up on his hind legs. but
as we made no move he cooked up his

And has so fine an air.
She lends unwonted romance to

Her slender fingers I admire.

For one of FASHIONS queens;
And yet her tedious life is spent
In serving pork and beans.

to the state department upon the COM
mercial statistics for the fiscal year just
closed, left Venezuela in a state of abso-
lutte prostration, with both her foreign
trade and her domestic Industries praC-
ticallY paralyzed, but on account of the
general confidence inspired in the begin
ming by the new government, the adoption
of the eagerly desired reformed constitu-
ton, and the great natural resources of
the country, it was not long before bust
ness began to revive and foreign trade
to assume something of its former pro-
portions. During the year just closed,
exports were shipped from Maracnibo to
New York valued at $500 00n, as COM
pared with $4,000 900 worth for the year
1894
while the foreign trade of the country
has revived. there is much business depres-
sion in the country itself. No cabinet has
been able to solve the financial problems
which the war left AS a legacy to the ma
ton, and there appears to be- universal
disinclnation on the part of capitalists to
allow their means to get beyond their
immediate reach. Business enterprises
seem to be contracting rather than ex-
panding. and the financial policy Of the
government is being severely criticised and
