MISS wILLARD's PLANS.
She Will Make Her Home in England
on Account of Her Health.

SAe VIII MAKE her Home In England
ON Account of Her Health.
From the Boston Post.
So far no formal statement has been
made on the subject, either by her or in
her behalf, but the fact has been known
for some little time in her close circle of
friends. and it has leaked out sufficiently
at the White Ribbon and National Council
OF Women conventions, held in Washing
ton during the past two weeks, that Miss
Willard intends to make her home in Ing
land. Miss WillarFs determination was
due entirely to the fact that she Is no
longer able to stand the rigors of the
American climate, while the results Of her
sojourn in the country places of England
last year. under the watchful care of Lady
Henry Somerset, were most beneficial. Not
only this. but since the death of her
mother at Evanston, Ill.,, in August, 1892
that suburb and the Willard home, "Rest
cottage seem in a measure to have lost
It's cnarm for her. and arrangements have
been made by which those of Miss VIII

be assigned to other fields, and the place
closed. Miss Willard sails with Lady

He Used Her Up.

James NJ. Page, an old pensioner, who is
about seventy-five years old. and his
wife. who is only about one-third as old,
have not lived happily together since last
pension day, and now the old man is be-
hind the bars, while the wife is in Provi-
dence Hospital. The old man had more
money than he knew what to do with last
week, and it is said that after he had WIS.,
tied a number of drinking places he went
home and his wife had to suffer. His al
legged brutality was commenced Friday,
when he attempted to chop her in pieces
with Ratchet. But she managed to get
away from him, and there was enough left
of her the next day for him to work upon
with club and Ratchet. After this cpl
sode it required one hour of DR.. Davison's
time at the hospital to make the victim
presentable.
Policeman Gordon made the arrest, and
Judge Miller today committed him to Jail
to await the result of the wife's injuries.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
In all probability the Oldest living man
in the world res!6es in Pittsburg. His
name is Richard Reddick, and he estab-
fishes the record of his age by the date
when he was made free, when he was duly
registered as twelve years old. Next Fourth
of July he will be one hundred and thirty
years old, and he wants to celebrate it by
unwilling the monument to Director E. NJ
Bigelow in Schenley Park. He knew Pitts

He saw Washington lead the continental

One condition of his freedom was that

A japanese Paper Uniform
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

AS we write we are clad in suit of paner
as supplied to the Japanese soldier on serv-
ice. 1t Is thoroughly light, easy under the
arms and over the chest. The trousers n
Is true. are knickerbockers and lead tn the
impression that the Japanese soldier in
vaaably wears his left leg shorter than his
right; but this. We believe, is the result of
art rather than nature. 1t is said that this
paper never tears, is very warm and seldom
wears out. We should recommend the poor
to wear the P. NJ. G. under their COATS this
cold weather. A man might make a hand
some living by having advertisements
printed On himself. after the manner of the
praying machine These clothes would also
make useful pajamas, being elegantly f,tfed
with tapes and buttons just like real. Io
Zen likes them. We got into them without
tearing them, but We are not quite sure
whether we shall ever get out again. Later
We got out of them. but they are very
difficult to fold up.

THE COURT IN DOUBT.
A Police Court Trial With Some II
tcresting Features.

tcresting Features.
Last night about o'clock Mrs. Scheetz
and Miss Smith, who reside in the vicinity
| of East Capitol and 9th streets, were fol-
lowed by two of the Washers who hang
| about the East Capitol post office Sunday
evenings and make it unpleasant for
| ladies vino go there for their mail and
after they had been followed and had
| reached Miss Smiths house the young
lady's father came out and accosted two
young men who had been pointed out to
him. They proved to be Frank Carnen of
North Carolina avenue and Thos. Acker
of 4th street northeast.
There was foot race following the lay
| ing on of hands by the young lady's father
and Policeman Hebrew arrested one of the
young men. His companion appeared this
| morning, and both young men were tried in
Judge Miller's court on charge of disor-
derby conduct while Mr.. Smith was ac-
cused of having struck one of them. This
episode occurred near 9th and streets,
two squares north of East Capitol
Both Mrs. Scheetz and Miss Smith identi-
| fled the young men. and said that Acker
said to them Good evening, ladies'
They charged that they were followed,
although they did not recognize the men
when they said good evening" in firty
manner.
Mrs. Scheetz hurried ahead of her friend
and told Mr.. Smith of the occurrence
The young men passed the house and were
said, when Mr.. Smith oyerhauled them,
Then it was that they started to leave
| that neighborhood
Mr.. Smith denied that he dealt any blows.
but admitted that he put his hands on
them.
The young men claimed that they were
the wrong parties.
According to their stories they were
standing at the 4th street corner watch->
ing the eclipse when the ladies came along
The loud voices of the latter attracted
their attention, and when the ladies' had
gone short distance they turned and
looked around.
Defendants said that they then started
along East Capitol street. going east and
they spoke of the appearance of two other
young men just their size. A cloud COW
cred the moon, and they were unable to
see what they looked like in the darkness
When there was trouble on 9th street they
went to see what was going on, and were
unfortunate enough to get mixed in the
affair.
The testimony raised doubt in the mind
of the court, which resulted In the acquit-
tai Of the young men, and, so far as Mr.
Smith was concerned, his conduct was only
that of any other father Had he not
acted summarily. the judge said, he would
be unworthy of being the young lady's
father.

the Review CT Reviews


The an cunt of money thus expended for
governmental structures In the thirty years
since the close of the civil war reaches a
stupendous figure. Inasmuch as the vast
array of public buildings which stand in
evidence as a result of all this outlay
make conspicuous architectural pretcn-
sionS, it is not unfair to pass criticism up
on the results. Considered as a whole,
these buildings are sorry failures from the
artistic point OF view. The worlds fair
buildings at Chicago, hastily extemporized
for the transient shelter of a six months
international exhibition, showed our own
citizens, as well as the artists of Europe,
how great and beautiful was the work
that American architects could do IL they
had the opportunity. Why should not the
same quality of genius that the worlds
fair directorate was able to secure for
temporary structures be employed by the
United States government in its far great
er OUTLAWS upon monumental public build
ings that must stand for many decades, II
not for centuries? 1t is evident that some-
thing is wrong IN the system at Washing
ton. Leading American architects are pro-
government of the artistic talent which 1t
might readily command. Instead of a
series of ugly failures from the artistic
standpoint, our public buildings might have
been wondrously beautiful without having
cost single additional penny. Indeed.
under a strictly professional and business
like system, instead of q partisan and
spoils system. incomparably better results
from every point OF view might have been
attained with q saving OF millions OF
dollars

Congress must then itself act by passing
some such bill as that of Senator Lodge
in reference to fourth-class postmasters:
by passing some bill in reference to the
consular service on the outlines of that
suggested by Senator Morgan (but giving
power to the civil service commission it
self in the matter; and then by providing
that all postmasters and similar officers
shall hold office during good behavior, in
Guiding, as well, those nominated by the
PRESIDENT and confirmed by the Senate as
those appointed by the President alone.

Mr.. H. G. Meem, who is already acduir-

good ability, sang the offertory at the

The sacred concert and testimonial bene-
fit to the Tuxedo Mandolin and Guitar
Quartet Sunday evening, March II, prom
ises to be one of the best musical enter
tainments that the Academy of Music has
ever presented. Part of the talent has been
secured from New York, but the majority
of the program will be made up of those
who are well known in the musical world
of Washington.
One of the features of the affair will be
a mandolin, banjo and guitar orchestra of
over 100 pieces, in which will be represent
ed nearly all of the various clubs of this
city. Among those who will participate in
this number are the Dino Mandolin-Banjo
Orchestra, Columbia Quintet, Georgetown
University Banjo Club Ladies' Ideal Man
dclin Club, Imperial Mandolin Banjo Club,
Washington Mandolin-Guitar Club, Ladies'
Tamagno-Mandoln Club, Georgetown Ban
jo Club, Mt. Pleasant Ladies' Club, Verdi
Mandolin Orchestra, Montrose Mandolin
Club and the Tuxedo Quartet, besides a
number Of prominent soloists who are not
identified with any special club. The or
chestra will be under the direction of Mr.
A. V. Holmes and will open the program Of
the evening.
Among the talent from New York the
management of the benefit has secured the
services of Mr.. Raymond Shaw, the phe-
nomenal tenor, late of London, from the
Academy of Music, and Mr.. Ross Earring
ton, basSo of ST. James Hall, both of that
city. These two soloists are well known to
the music-!oving public of the northern
section of the country, and, although heard
here for the first time, their worth Is as
sured by the authors of the enterprise

services from this city are Mrs. Kitty

DECORATION DAY.

OFing to the rain which fell steady
all day the memorial services werc
not the success that they would other
wise have been but although the
heavy rain fall might dampen the ar
dor of the citizens it could not quench
it entirely and they determined that
the day should be concentrated here
rain or no rain.
After waiting until half past three
in the vain hopes that the rain
would cease, the civic societies and
firemen met at the town hall and,
headed by the band and covered
with umbrellas marched to the skat-
ing rink where the literary part of the
exercises were held. The building
was tastefully decorated and In spite
of the bad weather was crowded.
The Daughters of Veterans, who had
been drilled by Mr.. Frank Quinn made
~ very fine appearance.
The exercises were opened with
prayer after which followed songs and
Rotations. The Rev. H. C.. Todd de-
livered memorial address which
was we'll received. Judge Riordan
who was on for an address was called
to Minocqua and could not be present
An address was expected from Father
Gospfert but he did not get back from
his trip to Khinelander in time to
respond.
The exercises were all good and
that part of the day was success.
Quite Il number went out to the GENE
tary In the rain and witnessed the
decorating of the graves.
TO much can not be said in praise OF
MIR. Quinn whs had the whole matter
in charge, and to whose energy is
due the fact that the day was observed
at all. He had looked after every
thing and made all the arrangements
and his success shows what one
man can do when determined.
