1.-THE skirmish in which Washington took
the three prisoners already referred to. and
resulted in the rapid march on Fort Du-
Quesne, was unfortunate only in the death
of some fifteen Virginia soldiers, the troops
firing on each other through mistake, each
supposing the other to be the enemy. It is
deserving Of mention that this is one Of
four several occasions in which Washing
toms life was placed IN great jeopardy, and
all occurred at or near Pittsburg, and each
signalizing his devotion to the reclaim of
the west.
The first was when Washington was de-
Eberately shot at by an Indian while re-
turning from Fort La Boeuf in company
with Christopher Gist the day before he
reached the Allegheny river, mentioned in
his published journal. The second in cross

Reports from reconno otering parties soon
confirmed the fact that the French and
their Indian allies had destroyed Fort Du-
Quesne and burnt the buildings around it
and fed by water. part of the force going
up the Allegheny and the remainder down

from the fort, and It was at first supposed

O'clock in the morning, and he remains all
day and listens patiently to the tales of
woe from men, women and children, re-
serving time enough to direct his men and
hear enough of the more important cases
to know what Is going on in the city.
The inspector of course, is In commune
cation with the police authorities Of all
large cities. as we'll as the nearby country
districts. so that he is kept constantly no.
t:fied of what is gong on, so far as the
movements of crooks affect this city. Then,
ooo, the Inspector depends upon the news
Eopers for information from other cities,
and frequently in this way he obtains val
liable facts ard suggestions.
Reports of thefts are not the only ones
that are received in the Office, for almost
everybody who has a grievance seems to
have an idea that a visit to the detective
department will result in a quick adjust

sens, as well as animals, reported, and
Ia is not an unusual thing for the inspector
to get cornered ali hour day for several
days by some woman whose pet cat, dog
or fowl has managed to get outside the
limits OF her home. And every woman who
has a complaint of this kind to make i'm
agines that her business is the most i'm
portant in the land, and that all other
affairs pertaining 10 the welfare of the
District can wait until her pet has been
restored.
Included in the list of persons who call
on such business are women in all stations
OF life, fron, the wives of cabinet officers

lost, strayed or stolen dogs are amusing

BRANDY DROPS A MYTH.
Very Little Pure Spirit Used by the
COnfectiOners.

COnfect1Oners.
From the New York World.
This action of the police prohibiting the
sale of brandy drops is laughable to men in
the business" said a manufacturing con-
fectioner. ''Why, man might eat an en-
tire bushel of ordinary branded chocolates
without getting pony glassful of the pure
spirit. Confectioners have a mixture of
their own for this purpose which, I can as
sure you, contains very small proper
ton of brandy-less than an ounce to the
gallon. There is about the same proportion
of spirit in it as there is of grape Juice in
a quart bottle of claret at a cheap table
d'hote.
Il learned my trade in England, and I
remember that thirty years ago there was
howl over there against the sale of
brandy snaps. This is a confection very
popular with school children over there,
very much the same as peanut brittle Is
here. A parliamentary committee inquired
into the matter and discovered that a ton
of brandy snaps contained less than half
pint of pure alcohol. The sale of snaps
was not interfered with"

Editor Astorian:-
The largest political gathering that
has met here during the campaign as
sembled at Birnie's Hall Thursday even
ing to listen to W. r. Reynolds. OF Che
halls. and j.. o. Il. Scobey. OF Olympia.
The speakers discussed the political
situation from a Republican standpoint
and made a deep impression on the au-
dience by their clear. convincing. logical
exposition OF the money question. They
paid a high tribute to the statesman
ship OF Mckinley, and the soundness OF
his policy. and pointed to the record OF
the Republican party as a proof that in
all great issues which have come before
the American people, whether social.
political. or moral, that party had been
found to solve them. They met with
a thoroughly rouslng reception and
frequently applauded during their
remarks. JOHN u. CORRtGAT.
