We're no other extraordinary event to hap
pen to mark the year 1895 as one of great
achievements the continued success OF the
Washington Base Ball Club at it's present
pace throughout the season should suffice
to that end. Even now the patrons of The
game in this city. who are numbered by the
thousands. are wondering If it be not all
dream and are scanning the lists of the
clubs with amazed eyes. Perhaps the hoo
dco that has so persistently lowered over
the capital city's base ball team has at last
been discouraged or slain or perhaps sur
fejted with success. Whatever happens. the
present uanasers are making friends
through their liberal policy in dealing with
the people who go to the grounds. Twice
they have given rain checks when the rules
and customs OF the game have not required
them to do SO. and they have begun to
show some measure of commiseration for
the suffering ones who III former seasons
have been tortured by the blistering rays
of the sun. Now let them erect an awning
over the noisy but faithful bleachers and
the already good attendance at the games
will materially increase. There is nothing
that pays In any kind of business better
than hberality, and this has been found to
be true in base ball quite as much as in
any other commercial enterprise.

1t is announced that arrangements have
been perfected at last whereby the elevated
railroads Of New York are to be equipped
with electricity as a means of loconotion.
This should have been done five years ago.
II should now be done In the most thor
Cugh and perfect manner possible, SO that
the raised roads of the metropolis will be
models for all the world. Full-f1edged
steam engines have been permitted ito race
through the streets above the ground, pour
ing forth their clouds OF smoke and their
showers of cinders. and travel on these
roads has never been pleasant The electric
motor is so easily adapted to such struc-
lures that it is marvel that it was not
utilized long ago. 1t will add to the COM
fort of the passengers as well as OF the
residents, whose lives have been made
miserable by the annoyance of having a
pulling, snorting engine passing their win
dows every few minutes at all hours OF the
day and night.

Dispatches have been sent out of Wash
ington in the past day or two to the effect
that the Detroit plan" for the relief of the
poor, which was put in operation here this
spring as an experiment, has proved
failure. This statement is based upon the
fact that there have been fewer applicants
for land to cultivate than was anticipated
by some. There are now upwards of one
hundred families who have applied for
ground and facilities with which to engage
In agriculture on a small scale, while about
sixty families have been given lots and
seeds and have undertaken the work with
every show of success. 1t is true that
there have not been as many applicants for
these privileges as there was reason to ey-
pect would come forward when the oppor-
tunity to help themselves was offered, but
this result of the test of the character of
our dependent population does not charac-
terize the experiment as q failure. The
critics of the Detroit plan attacked it as a
project which invited the tramp and the
loafer from all parts of the country to
enjoy free potatoes at the National Capital,
and which would enlarge and pamper and
demoralize our dependent population. The
advocates of the plan pointed out that a
project of relief through work had no al
Iurements for the unworthy and worthless
and that SO far from being overwhelmed
by applicants for these privileges the diff
Guilty would be to enlist self-helpers. The
opinion Of the plans defenders proves to
be correct. No Generalization or injury of
any sort has resulted from the experiment

have been directly dependent upon local

ing as tramp-repellant, to those who are

hngness to labor when the means of self
support were offered has been applied to
many persons upon the pedendent lists Of
the local charitable organizations Some
have been unable to till the soil. others
have obtained different forms of work,
while others. unemployed and physically
capable, have been weighed In the balance
and found wanting, and their names have
been added to the black lists of the charita-
BILE organizations as ineorrigible loafers,

strated that entirely too small a percentage
of our dependent population Is of the self
respecting. seif-reliant character that is
best helped by self help, but this condition
cannot be effectively remedied until II is
clearly and thoroughly understood The
Detroit plan helps to reform this condition
by setting the worthy to work, by pushing
the dubious and wavering toward self-sup-
port, and by exposing and blac.slisting the
thoroughly unworthy. This experience sug-
gests. as the census also shows. that there
is comparatively small population Of very
poor people in the District, and while there
is annually great demand upon the char
ity funds 1t would seem now. in the light
of the present experience, as though pos

had been somewhat out of proportion to
the real, pressing needs of the people.

The approaching Atlanta exposition will
give Washington merchants and manu-
facturers an invaluable opportunity to
spread knowledge concerning themselves
and their goods among people in the i'm
mediate territory below the capital, and ad-
vantage should be taken of it to the fullest
extent. An exhibit at an exposition such
as that which will be held at Atlanta is an
object lesson which is studied by thou
sands of strangers to the inevitable profit
of those who give 1t. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped therefore that those engaged in ad-
vancing the Industrial progress of Wash
ington will decide to take part in the
demonstration at Atlanta and aid in giving
the thrcngs of visitors a proper idea of
the substantial business side Of the Ma

Washington is one of the most moral
cities in the world because the good peo-
pie in it have recognized, attacked and re-
duced to a minimum the wickedness
which In some degree Is inevitable in every
large city. Washington has a high reputa-
tion for morality. because it Is in fact a
moral city, and not because its newspapers
and people suppress the facts concerning
local misdoing and cover and conceal every

SAD LIFE OF A BEAUTY.
Tho Countess of Dudley Devoted Wife t.
u Repulsive Husband.

Tho Countess of Dudley Devoted Wife to
Repulsive Husband.
Georgina, countess of Dudley, enjoys
the we'll deserved reputation of being
not only one of the most beautiful ma
irons in London society, but also one OF
the kindest and most warm hearted of
the great ladies of Mayfair. She is de-
voted mother and deserves great
amount of credit for the manner in
which she has brought up her children
and for the devoted cars and loyalty
which she manifested to her eccentric
husband. Until his death her existence
was little better than a martyrdom,
which she bore with the most exemplary
patience and fortitude. The late earl
was many years her senior and the re-
verse of handsome, in addition to which
he in many matters was entirely insane,
having inherited his madness from his
father. All this would have caused
many mother to hesitate before even
permitting her daughter to wed such
man, but Lady Dudley's mother, Lady
Louisa Moncrietfe, daZzled by the EARL
income of over So, 600, 900 year, forced
her lovely daughter to bind herself to
him.
The contrast between the beautiful
woman and the almost repulsive look
ing husband who was her constant COM
panion was SO startling that it drew
forth the hackneyed exclamation of
beauty and the BEAST wherever they
went Had Lord Dudley been less
wealthy he would inevitably have been
confined in madhouse, but even dur
ing the closing years of his life Lady
Dudley never permitted him to be con-
sidered as insane, although he seldom
experienced lucid moments. Lady Dud-
ley was the second wife of the late earl
and has seven children, six sons and one
daughter. -Philadelphia Press.

In ''Thrums' lived a merchant tailor
who ordered from friend, book agent,
a complete set of an encyclopedia which
was being published in monthly parts.
All went well till the delivery Of the last
volume, which proved to be about one
half larger than any of the others. Deliv-
cry was refused on the ground that the
volume was not according to sample and
broke the uniformity of the set. Mr..
Comrie Thompson was then acting sheriff
substitute for Forfarshire, and the result
ing case came before him. The plaintiff
stated his case, and Mr. Thompson then
advised the defendant to take delivery,
adding:
"Now, Mr., don't be foolish. If the
book is larger, they don t propose to charge
you anything extra, and you ought to
consider you are having bargain"
'Well," pleaded the defendant, "I'm a
tailor, and if your lordship were to order
a coat from me. and | quoted price and
afterward delivered the coat a half size
bigger than you wanted it, you would, |
have no doubt, refuse delivery. And |
might then say: Don't be foolish, sheriff.
The coat, it's true, is much larger than
YOU want, but the cloth is the same, and
won't make any extra charge. You ought
to consider you are having bargain.
This rather tickled the court, which eX-
pressed its appreciation of the point some
what noisily. Verdict for the plaintiff,
with costs.-London Tit-Bits.

Aluminium Flashlights.

The use of aluminium III place of mag
nesium for the production of fashlight
is strongly advocated by Professor Glase-
uapp. He states that aluminium, if en-
ployed in the form of bronze powder, Is
not only equal to magnesium as a source
of light in taking photographs by flash
light but that it is really much cheaper
than the latter. The following is stated
to be the proper mixture for the pur'
pose: Aluminium powder, 21.7 parts by
weight sulphide of anthony 1873 parts
and potassium chlorate, 64.5 parts, the
same precautions being taken i'll prepar-
ing the mixture as in the case of the
magnesium tlashlight.
In regard to the rapidity of combus-
ton of such a mixture one-seventeenth
of a second has been found out. Two
grams of the mixture were burned in a
small heap, , Centimeters long and a
eentimeter wide. And i'll respect of
chemical intensity Professor q. states
that he found by exposing gelatin plates
beneath Warnerke actinOmeter to the
light of said mixture and to that of other
mixtures prepared with magnesium the
employment of equal quantities of the
metals resulted III a superior light from
aluminium, though not of considerable
amount. The speed of combustion is as
certained to be slower-about One-tifth

She Reformed.

A certain western senator had two
sons, little fellows 8 and II years of
age, when he came to the capital two
or three years ago. Their mother had
devoted herself TO their education and
pleasure almost exclusively, but here she
found that the demands OF society would
not permit her to give quite SO much
time to them. So they were sent to
school, and often they had to go to bed
without the pretty story.
One evening the mother noticed that
the older boy seemed unusually grave.
She was making preparations to go out
to dinner. He said;
Mamma, are you going out again.
Yes, my dear; mamma has to go.
She dislikes to leave you so much, but
papa wants her. Go to bed, my dears,
and to sleep; You won't miss me then. "
Mamma. said he, with all the gray
ity of full grown man taxed to the
limit of his patience, mamma, how
much longer is tins thing going to last?
What is to become OF us if you neglect
us so?"
The mother did not go out to dinner
that night. She staid at home, told
and read stories to the boys and petted
them. The result was, and still is, that
the mother devotes all her Saturdays to
the youngsters. They visit the art gal
lery, the museum, the capitol, the old
houses and the zoo.
