AN AnuslNc ADVENTURE


/
mel and a rRciful Woman.
A superior officer of the B. Vorri.
son was some time ago the hero of a
most amusing adventure. Colonel e.
had received from Nine V an in.
vltation to dinner, hut on tho dav ep-
pointed, and just as he was about to
start, he w.3 seized with a violent ct
tack of neuralgia and decided to foregf
the pleasure IL store for him. The colo
rel wrote n Letter CT apology, called hi.
orderly and said
Guy, you will give this letter t.
Nine. " and then go aud fetch m,
my dinner"
Here the plot commences. Guy set
of after carefully secreting the letter
III his breast pocket along with his to-
bacco pouch. He arrived at Nine.
VS., delivered his message and
stood as rigid as a statue. The lady of
the house was surprised and INQUIRED
what he was waiting for. Guy replied.
1.-The colonel told me to fetch him
his dinner "
Nine. v saw the mans mistake,
gave certain orders, and the servants
handed the faithful linesman a set of
dishes emitting fragrant odors. More.
over, Mmo v slipped half bottle
Of champagne into the soldiers pocket
and said:
"You will serve this to the colonel at
dessert. "
Guy came back, and, upon my word,
the restaurant seemed to have provided
such host of good things that tho colo.
mel got up and took his scat at tho table.
Over the soup he slowly began to recover
his appetite, to his no small surprise.
The side dishes made him quite raven
Gus, with the entrees his pain disap
peared, he was stupefed at the roaz
meat and dumfounded at the game, all,
still his wonder grew at the marvelou
dishes supplied by his chophouso keeper
AT the dessert the orderly, obeying his
instructions, set the bottle of champagne
on the table He was asked for an ex
planation, when everything came out.
The colonel in despair thought the mat
ter over and then gave his orderly 10
francs. telling him to buy bunch OF
flowers and present it from him to
Nine. v. Then our colonel, salts
fed that he had done his best under tn,
trying circumstances, settled down il
an easy chair and composed himself t,
sleep An houI and half later the dool
opened, and Guy walked in and gravel,
deposited two 3 franc pieces ON the ia
BILE. The colonel questioned him wit
some anxiety.
"The lady paid for the nosegay,
said the honest warrior, apparently wei
pleased with the general turn of affairs
Nine. v, ON receiving the bou
quet, had given the soldier francs by
way of tip, on receiving which tht
latter simply replied:
''It isn't B francs, please, ma am; /.

for three days, to the great alarm of the

A Queer Conner Mine.

"There are many kinds Of mines and
numerous inventions for saving pre-.
cious metals, said Professor L. f.
Waring Of Omaha, "but the strangcst
one ! ever heard Of is at Butte, Mon
When mines were first discovered in
that locality, 10 was found that the wa

strongly impregnated with copper in So
luton that tools of all kinds were quick
ly destroyed by the affinity Of the copper
for the iron. For long time the water
pumped out of the mine went TO waste,
AZ no method was known of extracting
the copper from 1t, After awhile a dis
eoYery was made that Is being used "a

their way into the small stream. In a
short time ID WAS noticed that they had

THE NEW WORLD MeTRopous.


Chicago Reacl,ias For New York's Grown
as Queen OF the Continent.
This significant editorial appears In
that very much alive New York paper,
The World.
! consolidation must take place or
soon the pushing western city will ap-
! pear upon the map as the queen of the
| continent Tho tisufes arc conclusive.
In 1890, unless consolidation takes
place, it will surely be smaller, and
| Chicago Will utter tremendous roar,
which will echo and re-echo around the
world, for New York will have lost the
leading place, with all the power, pres
1ge, Importance and substantial bene-
fits such place brings. And Chicago
will have it and make the most of it.
The advantages of being the first city
in population cannot be overostimated.
1t is an advertisement all over the world.
1t attracts capital and Thousand other
benefits. -
There is no help for New York. It
must submit to the inevitable. Chicago
is catching up at pace that cannot be
lessened. Chicago is bound by all laws
of progress to pass New York within
the near future and to take and keep
the position Of first city Of the CONT
nent, foremost of the cities of the new
world.
The usual statistical estimate of man.
hood voters is one to five Of the entire
population. DeSucting the registration
by women, which is comparatively in
significant, the population of the city
Of Chicago must be today more than
1900, 600, and remembering the rate
per cent of increase in past decades,
taking the average and accepting the
mathematical demonstration, 1t will
scarcely require the opening Of a new
century to find Chicago at the head Of
American cities.
1t is true, as the New York newspa.
per says, ''the advantage Of being the
first city in population cannot be over
over the world. 1t attracts capital and
thousand other benefits.
The men who founded New York on
It's narrow strip Of land were not far
sighted. They thought only of their im-
mediate profits from trade. The men
who founded Chicago were farsighted
They thought Of the future Of their city,
the destiny Of their country. The for
mer were foreigners who had no idea
of becoming Americans. The latter
were Americans New York has oontin-
ued to be foreign oity. Chicago has
always been an American city.
Consolidation with Brooklyn will not
avail New York now. Lack of Ameri-
canism is its constitutional defect. it's
past repairing now, so far as predomi-
nance is concerned. Chicago Herald.

Last night at Robinson Park, corner of
Florida avenue and 18th street, the knights
of Jerusalem gave a picnic. and the music
and lights attracted the usual number of
hangers-on, who gathered in the street and
on the sidewalk. These outsiders were
boisterous, besides obstructing the side
walk, and when the policemen, Officers
Greer and Johnson, gave orders for them
to move on they showed no disposition to
obey. John T. Moore, a young colored man
from Meridian HILL who showed signs of
having been drinking, was placed under
arrest for disorderly conduct, and he want
ed to hold court right there on the side
walk. The officers, however, concluded to
have the case tried in the proper way, and
they so informed him. This did not seem
to satisfy the prisoner, who proceeded to
this he was ably assisted by the crowd of
rUffians, who shouted, xiii him." but their
companion was unable to injure the Off
GERS. The crowd followed the officers some
distance, throwing bricks and stones at
them, but they held to their prisoner until
the station was reached, when he was
placed behind the bars.
Lawyers Langston and Jones appeared
for the prisoner in the Police Court today,
been heard. The former argued that the
prisoner was a young man of good char
acter, and he hoped the court would give
him the benefit of it in the disposition of
the case.
Judge Miller held the young man guilty
on two charges, and imposed fine of So5
or seventy-dve days Imprisonment.

CIVIL SERVICE IN ALEXANDRIA.
"A City Engineer Selected by Means of
~ Competitive Examination

A City Engineer Selected by Means of
Competitive Examination.
The civil service reform wave has struck
the dear old town of Alexandria all over
with results that give cause for a smile
and general congratulations all arouni J..
There was need, some days ago, of a city
engineer, and the common council deter
mined to secure the best man that could
De found by the toughest kind of a civil
service examination. After getting advice
from several good authorities who are up
on competitive examinations the council
sailed in and advertised for all who wanted
to stand for the position to enter a com
pettlVe examination. A score of appli-
cants presented themselves and were ex-
am.hed on their attachments in geometry
trigononetry and calculus, to say nothing
" the law OF real estate, and some col
lateral questions as to drainage, sewers.
sidewalks, road-making, gas and gas,
WORKS. and other kindred topics of neces-
sary importance to a city engineer. even in
Alexandria, N $40
Inc interesting thing in connection with
the whole matter is that, while the exam
ihatlon was thrown open to all comers and
the world was invited in, an Alexandria
young man took the first place with the
highest marks, and has been assured he
Will nave the place. This fortunate COM
petitor is Emmett c. Dunn. who lives at
oo4 Duke street. Mr.. Dunn had already
passed one competitive examination under
the united States civil service commission
IN this city as an applicant for a surveyors q
eierkship In the general land Office.

A Tribute Well Deserved.

An interesting and gratifying feature of
the gathering was the cordial appreciation
shown by the corporation for the services
rendered to the university by DIR. Greene.
Resolutions expressive of this sentiment
were unanimously adopted. They recited
that Dr. Greene had rendered distinguished
service to the university for the year just
past as its acting president, for which no
financial consideration had been proffered
or requested. The hoard of trustees feel
ing profoundly the sense of their obliga-
tions and wishing to express it in some
substantial form rendered DR.. Greene their
sincere thanks for his excellent and valu-
able services, services which will be ever
remembered and deeply appreciated by the
officers, faculties and students of the uni-
versity. and instructed the treasurer 10
hand to DR.. Greene 81 600 from the funds of
the university, together with a copy of the
resolutions.
In conclusion, the resolutions stated that
while the trustees did not wish to give any
direction as to the use of the fund, they
hoped that 1t would enable DR.. Greene TO
take a much-needed rest and enjoy for a
time the pleasures of travel.
DR.. Greene was much affected by the un-
expected character of the expression of his
colleagues esteem.
The utmost enthusiasm characterized all
the proceedings, and among the members
OF the corporation it was the unanimous
opinion that in the selection of DIR. Whit
man the man, the place and the opportu-
nifty had met. 1t was agreed that Column
hans prospects were never so fair and
that 1t only needed an earnest and SYSTEM
attic effort to realize all the possibilities of
the situation. There is to be an immediate
meeting of the officers Of the university and
the Alumni Association, when steps will he
taken to arouse the alumni to concerted
action. At meeting of the corporation, to
be held July l, 1t is expected that the So
liciting committee will announce that the
rest of the $4,000 needed Win have been
secured.
