Gossip of the Day.


ciDct, is very unhappy and the reasons there
| for follows:
Last Saturday afternoon Policeman Mohl
was walking through Burke's alley, which
is a part of his beat. AS the double sole
OF the policeman's number lis smote
the flagstones with measured, reverberat-
ing smite noises ceased.
When Mr.. Mohl got in front of the house OF
Nellie HcDsen, however, he discovered
somewhat startling condition OF. affairs.
The front door was aJar and voices were
actually coming from within. The tea
kettle was singing on the stove, and the
cat in the doorway arched her back In a
most dis respectful manner. This was
strange, SO the policeman walked over.
Arriving at the door atar he peeped In,
then poked his head partly in. That's why
he is unhappy now. Nellie saw his peer
ing face protrude itself inside the door,
and her wrath arose. In her hand was a
small pan and on the stove was that tea
kettle singing. 1t didn't take much thought
for her to scoop up papful OF the Doll
ing water, and swish!
Mr.. Mohl withdrew his head, sa yiDg SOME
thing in German as he didso. Nowhe wears
u oNti mo ihE6ed
couDtenance, and his left eye is useless to
him. A warrant is out for Nellie, how
ever. and the German member Of the po-
lice is going to serveit. Revenge is sweet.
II have nothing TO say about District
politics at present, but wait awhile and
the Democrats will be heard FROM" said j.
Fred Kelly, of the Democratic committee,
to Times man.
I'VE are gathering our forces and when
the time arrives to strike we win be felt.
IT is early yet totalk about the candidates
for delegates to the National Convention,
but you can rest assured that the District
Democrats will send acceptable men,"
"Do you know that political affairs in
Maryland look mighty favorable for the
Republicaps?" said Mr.. Lewis Clephane to
q Times reporter. THE disaffected Demo
Gratis cannot come together in this cam
paign.
"The Union Club. OF Washington, has be-
gun business in earnest, and all the leading
Republicans about here are becoming meal-
bers. We expect to do heavy work in the
coming campaign. 1t reminds me of old
times"
~ don't suppose there is any doubt about
Washington being the most popular city
in the United States with actors" said John
F.. Buckingham, the veteran doOrkeeper,
last night. II was closely identified with
the profession for "a number of years, and, II
l do fay it myself, have come in contact
with as many thespians as any man in the
country, and l have the first one to meet
who condemns the National Capital.
"outside of the profit they derive from
their visit, they find the greatest enjoyment
in roaming over Its beautiful streets and
taking advantage of the opportunity offered
to inspect the public buildings. One and
all, they are q queer lot, but they invariably
stick upfor Washington, and that makes me
like them"
A handsomely attired, athletic looking
young gentleman of about twenty five, who
is registered at Wizards, was walking
quietly back and forth in front Of the hotel
last evening. He presently attracted the at
tention of two loungers. When the athletic
looking young man neared them one of the
loungers said:
Look at the Broadway swell"
The young man turned on him instantly
and inquired if the remark was intended
for him. The lounger iDtimated that it
made little matter who the remark was
made for.
Thereupon the athletic young man planted
himself squarely In front of the loquacious
lounger and said:
IF you meant the remark for me to hear
while was strictly engaged in attending
TO my own business I'll thrash you good.
did not play on college football team
three years for nothing"
He looked II, and SO the lounger must have
decided, for he Immediately agreed that the
remarks were intended to pass only between
his comrade and himself.
