ANaCOSTlA MEMS.

There was little new to-day n connection
with the alleged robbery Of Mr. Frisbie's
store on Harrison street Sunday night.
The interview between Mr. Frisbie and
Detective Lacy is the talk of the town.
Detective Lacy WIS in Anacostia to-day
and was to have received further news
OF the occurrence, but Mr. Frisbie failed
TO put in an appearance at the police sta
tion, and there appears to be a dctermi-
nation To let the matter drop. 1t is now
known that Mr. Frisbie sought to lay the
blame OF the robbery on a baker in his EN-.
ploy, who resided on Jackson street, in the
rear of the store. A search warrant was
procured, and the baker begged an investi-
CATION, but the police refused to serve
the warrant, owing to the statements in
the case.

Novelties in summer entertainments are
SO few that 1 need no excuse for telling
about this one. White hydrangeas dotted
the lawn with their big, round heads OF
bloom. The vines of the white, single
flowered clamatis scrambled over the
veranda and shaded the tables spread
there. Rugs of coarse white canvas were
thrown down upon the veranda floor,
picked out here and there with q touch
Of green. The tables were, set with p1-c
whitechina almost ttranspaniRt andqua, ,ntiy
shaped like shells. In the middle OF each
table was block of ice with white
shells and white coral frozen into into it.
The ice lay in huge china st1eils, In which
1oated green water weeds. The menu
cards were scallop shells tied with green
ribbon. Fish nets were slung against the
sides of the house and held white fans
and white parasols, 1t was dream Of

wrought on a delicate net ground. A
lily Of vivid scarlet dotted with black was
thrust into the belt, and gave the touch OF
color that lighted up the costume.

While the battlcship Texas, which has
been under construction at the Norfolk

of this week, with all but ten or a dozen
of her full complement of officers and IL en-

OF the movements along the New England
and Middle States coast
There are several important matters yet
To he settled before she will be ready TO 20
to sea. The bids for stores were not
opened until the 31st of July, and not a sin
gle thing has yet been placed aboard OF her.
At best it is stated that three or four weeks
must elapse before she can be fitted out
with the nccessaries of sea life.
Then there is the question OF speed to he
settled. The engines and boilers were fur
nished by the Richmond Locomotive Works,
and the company want a test to decide
whether or not they are entitled to pre-
MUM for excess speed. A dock trial of the
machinery produced a greater horsepower
than the contract required, and the engine

How the trial shall be conducted las not
been determined, and in view of the joint
construction OF the ship by the Govern
nent and private contractors may be a
difficult question to decide.
The conipction of the Texas settles n con-
troversy that for time threatened to seri-
ousiy strain the relations between the
Bureau of Construction and Repair and Con-
structor Bowles, who had charge of the yes
sci. The plansswe procured in England
by the naval constructor, and the bureau
officials declared that the vessel, when
constructed and loaded with her arnia-
ment and arnor, would be over weighted
to the extent OF 600 to 800 tons and that
she would not float on the lines laid do WI
for her.
Constructor Bowles asserted the integrity
and reliability Of his figures, and the
controversy was finally referred by Secre-
tary Tracy TO Constructor Nixon now
with the Cramps, for report. He told the
Secretary that his figures showed Mr..
Bowies TO be out OF the way about sixty
tons. Now that the vessel is Completed and
loaded, it is said that she is about $50
tons short of Mr.. Bowl"s' own calculations
