One night last week there sat at table
in the Hotel Martin quaint. queer little
man of about GO, wearing a loosely hung
jersey coat-a little man eating an ON
elette aux fines herbes and drinking
water-a little man gesticulating wildly
as he talked to a company of diners, who
forgot their dinner and dined no further
than the fish. lest they lose a word or this
peculiar little mans conversation. This
man was Edouard Remenyi, the noted
violinist. Remeny Contempor OF
Wiihelmj. Remenvi! who while yet
boy followed kossuth to play for the
glory of Hungary Remenyi! who has
sung with his violin to the whole world
of eager music-loving generations. Rem
enyi full of youthful fire for his art and
all arts.
This man, who for over forty years has
played a violin. has played for twelve of
those years on vegetable diet and has
druak but water, and has smoked Moth
Ing, says the New YORK Times. As he
took an olive he noticed his vis-a-vis was
applying himself to radlshes. Remenyi
remarked: while | eat Chopin nocturnes
why do you eat the Ratcatcher' Daueh-
ter'?' This is a worthy identification
of an olive and radish for all time to
come.
The mans knowledge OF things and
people is extraordinary, and his memory
phenomenal.
Remenyi said: when I first came to
New York-it was in 1S5l-I was an ex-
lie. At that time the people of this coun-
try knew such enthusiasm for kossutn
and the Hungarian cause as you of today
can never know for anythihg-not even
for yourselves. Oh! the memory of those
times makes my heart beat. 1t makes
the heart warm. Citi zens of the town
came down. to the ships to welcome the
exiles and to provide for them. They

tn. Ennrmou. Sun. Arcturus.

II the earth were situated midway be-
tween the sun and Arcturus, 1t would
receive 8, 1873 times as much light from
that star as it would from the sun. 1t
is quite probable, moreover, that the
heat of Arcturus exceeds the solar heat
in the same ratio, for the spectroscope
shows that, although Arcturus is sur
rounded with a cloak of metallic vapors
proportionately far more extensive than
the suns, yet, smothered as the great
star seems in some respects to be, it
rivals Sirius itself in the intensity OF its
radiant energy.
II we suppose the radiation OF Arctu-
rus to be the same per unit OF surface as
the suns, it follows that Arcturus ex-
ceeds the sun about $4,000 times in
volume. and that its diameter is no less
than 1850, 900 miles. Imagine the
earth and the other planets constituting
the solar system removed to Arcturus
and set revolving around 1t in orbits or
the same forms and sizes as those IN
which they circle about the sun Poor
Mercury For that little planet it would
indeed be a jump from the frying pan
into the fire, because, as 1t rushed to
perhelion, Mercury would plunge more
than $500. 900 miles beneath the sur
face Of the giant star. Venus and the
earth would perhaps melt like snow

TR0W Ell EXPERTS
Of Organized Labor One Of the
Largest Bodies Here.
qHE BRlCKLAYERS UNION, NO. /
Nearly Thirty Years Since the
Union Was Formed.
IN THE EARLY DAYS

There are some seven hundred members
of Bricklayers' Union, No. 1, Of Washing
ton, which makes this organization, numer-
ically, one of the largest bodies of working
men here. For nearly twenty-five years the
bricklayers have had an organization. This
craft, prior to 1867. had no organization,
though the maximum rate of wages paid
during the war and for several years SUBJ
sequent thereto prevailed in the District.
Through this period of inflated prices the
rate was 81 per day of ten.hours. This was
also the period of the old Washington, be-
fore the Inauguration of those extensive
improvements which gave an impetus to
the building trades and covered the COM
mons and waste places with magnificent
structures.
During the winter of 1866 the matter of
organization was considered among the
brickiayers of the District, until finally a
call was issued for meeting of the men,
ber5 of the craft. In pursuance of this call
number Of the most earnest and enthusi-
estic members of the craft assembled in
the hall of the old Perseverance engine
touse. which occupied the middle Of Sth
street northwest, fronting on the south side
Of Pennsylvania avenue. This old structure
was removed at the time the old Marsh
Market went dow n before the march of i'm
provement. At this preliminary meeting a
resolution indorsing organization was unan-
imously adopted, and a committee was ap-
pointed to perfect the necessary plans for
carrying the wishes of those present into
effect.
During April. 1867, permanent organi-
cation was effected, under the title of the
Journeymen Bricklayers Association of
Washington, d. C. Walter B. Dobson was
elected the first president, and he held the
consecutive
first regular meeting of the association was
held In what was known as Bryans Hall,
on 9th street northwest between d and +.
At the frs: election of officers a chaplain
was chosen. His duty, as defined in the by
laws of the association, was to open the
meeting with prayer. Mr.. John Reynolds
performed this duty faithfully for one year,
but at the end of that period the office was
abolished.
The young organization had In very
short time an enrolled membership of 146,
which comprised the entire number OF
bricklayers then in the city, with one ex-

STORAGE BATTERY CARS.
New Traction Scheme of the New York
and Harlem Road.

New Traction Scheme of the New York
and Harlem ROnd.
From the New York Times.
After lapse of six years the managers
of the New York and Harlem railroad have
determined to resume within ninety days
the running Of storage battery cars on
their city lines. Arrangements have been
made with he Storage Battery Company
to equip cars for Immediate service.
Six years ago number of storage battery
cars were run on 9Th and Madison avenues
In this city, but owing to a patent Htiga-
ton between rival companies the of the
cars was suddenly and unexpectedly en-
Joined. Storage battery traction was the
first system TO inspire hopes of street rail-
way men who were DESTROYS of doing away
with animal traction. As soon, therefore,
as the storage battery had made its ap-
pearance Iii 1850, preparations were begun
to utilize 1T for the purposes of traction,
and the following year, 1881, storage bat
terry cars were run between the Place ne la
Concorde and the Palas de IIndustrie,
Paris. AS that was the year of the electri-
cal exposition in Paris. the cars attrac ted
a great deal of attention, and similar at
tempts to run storage battery cars were
made in other places notably at Antwerp
and Brussels. In all those places it was
found that the cars did satisfactory and
uniform service, having speed and sufficient
power, and the only drawback seemed to
: be the life of he battery, which was found,
as rule, not to be as economical as de-
sired
While these experiments were being car
ried on, the trolley system came to the
front, and. by reason of the greater econ
omy. both of installation and service.
claimed for it, the storage battery system
was neglected. Meantime, the advocates
of the storage battery kept on making i'm
provements, until at the present day they
are prepared, they say, to successfully COM
pete with the trolley system. This Is more
particularly true in places where the con-
duit or underground trolley must be used
if electric traction other than storage bat
terry is to be employed. Some electricians
say the conduit system cannot be used
with success. They contend that If 1t
should prove a success from an engineer
ing standpoint the same objections as to
the expense of installation will hold as in
the case of the cable, so that 10 practical
street railroad man would for a moment
hesitate to adopt the storage battery in
preference to the conduit

GAME OF LIVING WHIST.

A Popular Summer Evening Diver
sion on the Moon-Lit Lawn.
FROM the Philadelphia Press.
The game of living whist bids fair to be
as popular this sumner for an evening en-
tertainment on the lawn as open air per-
formances of plays have been for two or
three years past The aplan is this: The
| cards are represented by young women and
men, who are dressed in appropriate cos
tunes. and whose suit ar value are clear
ly indicated There must, of course, be
fifty-two cards. half men and women, four
persons to plsy the hand, and a page or
herald for each player The guests are
seated about three sides of a large space
on the lawn, and from the fourth side
come the cards. They, wander in and out
in fantastic march, with rule, in mazes
of dainty costumes and cleaning colors,
making a charming sight. This is the
shuttle. Then the dealer points each one
to his or her place as they pass him by III
indscririnate disorder. !,
The hand should haXe been played over
and record of plays made beforehand,
and each c; I'd should Know to which hand
he or she belongs, so there may be no real
confusion. They are thus arranged in the
four hands on the open side of the square,
with the player of each hand standing be-
fore his men. The leader holds his list In
his hand and calls OUT What card he will
leao-the king of spades, perhaps. The
small herald blows his, trumpet and leads
out the king, and each, Of the other cards
follows him in the like state, led by the
herald from his own hand, till the four
meet In the hollow squarefbelow the specta-
tors, and the pages fersrsl'
The four in the center then dance little
figure, something adapted from the minuet
quadrille, lapcers or any fancy dance. The
three conquered cards then bow low to the
winner, who leads them off to make way
for the next trick, and SO on-each time
the little dance, and the stately march and
the fanfare of trumpets, This goes on I'M
til the hand is all played, when the winners
of the game stand up together and the
whole procession files by bowling as they
pass, and on to the open lawn again, where
they go through marches and counter
marches, the four small heralds ahead.

Baptized in n Tub.


From the Cincinnati Tribune.
An interesting event occurred in Coving-
ton jsi yesterday. Robert Pearson, a col
ored prisoner doing time for passing him
self off at Bowling Green and vicinity as q
pension agent, was baptized in bath tub
by Rev. G.. johnson, a coiored preacher,
in the presence of a crowd of his fellows
in duress. Stree entering Jail in May last
Pearson has paid great attention to the
welfare of his soul, Spending most of his
time reading the Bible, praying and singing
hymns. in which he often prevailed upon
his colored brethren to join. About two
weeks ago Pearson announced to the
preacher that he Lad at last experienced q
complete change of heart, and was ready
to be taken into the church.
A difficulty arose when Pearson announc-
ed that he wanted to be baptized by i'm
mersion, as there Is not in the jail a YES
sci big enough to give him the required
sousing. No other wey would suit Pearson,
and Jailer Mcknight was appealed to. AZ
ter some trouble the accommodating taller
produced an old iron bath tub, which just
holds enough water to meet the purpose.
1t was placed in the jail yesterday and
partly filed with water. The prisoners In
that portion of the Jail were much inter-
ested in tire service and took part. Pear
son was not sure of the efficacy of the
ceremony unless the water completely COW

1t was our fortune once to accompany
one OF these interrupted spirits to a sculp-

beauties of pure form and pretended to

The so-called people of bad taste are
easily pleased: The very possession of this
amiable quality consigns them to that de-
