COLLECTING EvIDENCE.-TheW Wash
inCton Board of Trade is at work COL
iaetinn evidence against the gamblers
and sure thing" people in the ccuoty,
and it is expected that within a week
the necessary arrangements will have
hpen completed to submit to Gov.
0'Ferrall detailed report upon which
!, is hoped he will base his action to
cause these places to be closed and law
and order to prevail in the future.
Ever since the Board of Trade com.
mittee called upon the governor in
Richmond and secured from him a
nromise to cooperate with the author
tiles of the District in purifying Alex
andria county, detectives have been at
work collecting evidence to be submit
ted to the executive. 1t was at first
arranged that certain members of the
Metropolitan detective force should
gather the evidence. but from certain
remarks dropped by members of the
Board of Trade yesterday it has been
ascertained that to depend upon the
local detective force for evidence suf-
fcient to bring about the desired re-.
suits would avail nothing. It's under
stood that three of the best detectives
on the police force were detailed on
the work for the Board of Trade, but
that after several days it was decided
that other arrangements must be made,
as those already in effect were unsatis-
factory, and would not serve the desir-
ed ends. 1t is said that the detectives
on the local force are so we'll known at
the race tracks that when they put in
al appearance the class of people who
are to be spotted take back seats, and
that no discriminating evidence can be
secured.
Just who is now engaged in the work
is known only to the members of the
Board of Trade, but it is understood
that everything is progressing nicely,
and that within week sufficient evi.
dence will have been gathered to
make the first report to Gov. O'Ferrall.
1t is said that after everything is ready
the committee will go before the dis
trict attorney and solicit his aid in get
ting the evidence in the proper shape
for transmission to the governor.
1t is a well-known fact that since
the Board of Trade manifested an in
terest in this matter the patronage of
the foreign books at both race tracks
has fallen off materially. as it was
known that detectives were circulating
in the crowd every day taking names
and addresses of persons who were lay
ing wagers on the foreign races.

cease soliciting aims and leave the city.
Two of the itinerants were one-armed
individuals, and one of them told the

THE HOTTEST m Years.

Season for Eight Years-Temper-
allure in May for Ten Years.
How the Day Was Spent.

The time honored interrogatory, is
it hot enough for you?" is sasOnable
at a remarkably early period this year.
Not since 1887 has the mercury in the
thermometer crawIed up to the % mark
before May 9Th. On May Sd, 1887, the
temperature was SO degrees, but only
four times in nine years has it reached
the 80 degree mark. The following
figures. showing the highest tempera-
ture in the month OF May during the
past nine years was obtained from Mr..
Christian Schnepf: 1886, May I'D, IS;

Yesterday was the hottest day of the
wear. and as tie public is not yet ac-
cust0med to warm weather, the tenn
perauure of 90 degrees caused consid-
cradle personal Inconvenience. On
Saturday the mercury reached the go
mark, where it lowered closely yester-
day morning. About three o'clock it
moved up to 81. and at $50 had climbed
up a notch higher. IL was reported
yesterday that a thermometer in Sis
tersville registered 81 degrees Satur-
day afternoon.
The sUltry weather drove many per-
sons to the Parks, and into the country
in the afternoon, and there were few
pedestrians on the streets. There was
but one summer car on the loop and ID
was so crowded with passengers at all
times last night that the car was con-
tinually behind time.
Farmers state that they need rain
very much, as the dry weather is keep
ing back all early spring vegetables,
and otherwise working an injury to
them. They have had enough sun
shine and now want little rain. The
river interests are also suffering. The
water is declining slowly, and unless
there is rain this week there will not
be q boating stage next week. Some
Of the big packets have already been
compelled to tie up.

NEW SHAPES AND RULES FOR HATS

Tn the array of hats the English
walking shape appears. and is as natty
end attractive as ever. The white
straw with black ribbon is not seen.
and the color of the straw is invariably
closely harmouized with the color Of
the gown, the rule being that for the
walking rig there must be no contrasts
of color. Many Of these hats are
trimmed with a roll of satin ribbon
about the crown, which is passed
through a small ring of brilianJs just
IN front the ends spreadingto the brim.
To many this elaboration only spoils
this style of hat, the palmer it is the
more suited it is to their liking.
Nearly an picture hats have high
crowns, and a late notion is TO set lace
about the crown, tying it i'm place by a
band of ribbon, the lace standing out
Crisply i'm a little rufle at the top OF
the ribbon and considerably above the
