some OF the Arkansas Members Ex-
change Experiences About Cyclones.
While the storm of Tuesday was raging
about the Capitol members Of the House
crowded into the lobby to watch the bois-
ferrous elements.
A group of Arkansas members stood in
an alcove. and when the wind lulled for
moment and then came back from the
opposite direction one Of them said:
Now, If this were a cyclone 1t would
strike now; 1t is, when the wind changes
that the damage is done"
The mention Of cyclones recalled to the
minds of the Arkansas statesmen MANY in
cldents in connection with high winds
In their state. One of them related how
the wind blew SO terrifically that 1t drove
a wheat straw two inches deep into the
trunk OF tree. Another told how a cy-
clone had swept down on his farm and the
suction OF the wind had drawn all the
water out OF a well and sent 1t into the
clouds. The W ell bucket, he said, was fly

There has been good deal Of talk in re-

bicycles, which are to be sold at SO or $12

was published with reference to this, which
was occasioned by the remarks Of Repre-

FOR THE FIREMEN'S FAMILIES.
Well-Filled House Listens TO a
Splendid Program.

That the citizens Of Washington are al
ways ready 10 respond to a call for charity
with the most generous kind of support
was demonstrated last evening at the
benefit given at Aliens Grand Opera
House for the families OF the brave
firemen who lost their lives in the line of
duty at the recent disastrous confiagration
in the commission houses on Louisiana
avenue. The .heater was well filled, and it
is believed that a large number Of tickets
were disposed of that were not represented.
No estimate could be made last evening.
but those who had charge of the tickets
are expected 10 report Monday, and cor
rect report will then be made up of the net
proceeds of the benefit. Everything was
donated for the affair, the theater by Mr..
Allen, the printing by Mr.. James w Will
l!ams, the press notices by the different
daily papers Of the city, while the attaches
OF the opera house gladly rendered their
services for the event.
The program which was rendered recon-
mended the benefit to the amusement-lov-
ing public a mcritOrious entertainment
outside of the object for which II was
given. OF course, the feature of the even
ing was the Marine Band, the tender of
which was made by Colonel Haywood COM
nandanE of The marine barracks, as soon
as ne found out that the lives of some Of
the fire department had been lost at the
fire. Although the band was down for five
numbers, encores were demanded emphat-
ically for every one. The band made an
excellent appearance, and under the leader
ship of Professor FanCiulli rendered all of
its numbers without criticism. The Cecilian

CHICAGO BRUTEs,
A Poor Old Man Tnrred and Feather

ed Just for Fun.
From the Chicago Times-Herald
Under the pretense Of sport, John Ken
ney. alias "Old Dad" was tarred and dec
Grated with feathers on Dearborn ave-
nue. near Michigan street, this morning at
o'clock. "Old Dad is character well
Known on the north side in the vicinity
of the criminal court building. He is given
to drink, and is noted principally for his
grotesque antics on the streets and his
habit of shouting. For years the old man
has existed by doing odd jobs in saloons
near the criminal court building, and the
hundreds of people who daily visit the
north side court house have been amused
by his actions.
This morning "Old Dad appeared at the
criminal court building in a terrible condi-
ton. His face and hair were matted with
tar, and tar had flowed down his neck to
his breast and shoulders. The old mans
mustache was thickly daubed with the
tar. He had on a feather belt, and feath-
erS were stuck in his hat and in the pock-
cts Of his vest. He looked like a cannibal
warrior. Kenney said a saloonkeeper
named Kennedy and a bartender, whose
name he did not know, had tarred and
feathered him.
The officials OF the criminal court build
ing were indignant
Detectives were at once detailed upon the
case. "Old Dad" in his efforts to get the
tar off his face. tore the skin in several
places, causing blood to flow
At 10 o'clock Kenney went before Justice
Kersten and swore out warrants for the
arrest of NJ. J. Kennedy and Burns, the
bartender charging them with assault and
battery and disorderly conduct. The police
took kenney down into the basement Of the
station, and after an hours work with
sticks and the liberal use OF kerosene,
part of the tar was removed.

Starkweather of Detroit and other police
chiefs en- route home from Atlanta stopped
over here today. The Chattanooga depart
ment has a bloodhound. Jude by name,
that has become famous as criminal
catcher. The local officers arranged for an
exhibition chase this afternoon to entertain
the visitors. A negro was started across
the country, and, after making detaur
in plain view Of the visitors, took 10 the
timber and climbed a tree. Jude ran well
and hurg to the trail. but soon mistook
the scent of r hog for that Of the negro,
and drew a blank. The exhibition was
amusing. but the northern visitors are not
at all likely to ask their several councils
for appropriations to invest in southern
bloodhounds. The negroes say the dog
knew he was running for fun all the time.

ON THE ROAD,
How the President Goes To and From
WOOdley.

Since the recent accident to the Presi-
dents carriage, at the junction of 18th
street and Florida avenue, by which no
greater damage than a broken pole and
disarranged harness ensued, attention has
heen attracted to the equlpage used by the
President in his daily trip to and from his
Woodley residence
The carriage generally used, when the
weather is good, Is a victoria of ample pro-
portions, in which both the President and
Mrs. Cleveland, neither of them small per-
sons, can sit with comfort. The President
always occupies the right-hand side which
official etiquette in Washington is believed
to prescribe. 1t seems strange, however
when viewing the afternoon procession of
the smart set" of which the Presidents
carriage forms a part, to see one vehicle
alone, with the lady occupant at the left
There is but one man on the box, which
Is supposed TO be an emblem of Jeffersonian
simplicity.
There is a low seat in the victoria, fac
ing back. in which family friends are car
RED, when accompanying the President and
Mrs. Cleveland. A second vehicle coupe
which is used in Indictment weather, is a
heavy affair. and it's rumble may be heard
blocks away. Mr.. Cleveland has a surrey
at Woodley, but it is seldom seen in the
city.
The seal browns as they are termed. are
heavy, robust horses, just the kind to carry
the $50 avoirdupois of the President andMrs
tIeNelahd- lhey nave rather slow, even
gait and are driven at the same speed at
all times. They might fall down dozen
times and the occupant of the carriage be
not hurt.
1t is a matter of comment that Mrs.
Cleveland appears to be growing Younger
She certainly is growing handsomer The
cmbonpoint which threatened to dest troy
her good looks is not 50 apparent as for
merry. The President has donned his last
years straw hat and looks quite rakish
He has grown no thinner The children at
Noodley are said to be accomplished with
no afectation, and os lovable disposition
They seldom or never accompany their par
ents to the city. Mrs. Cleveland comes in
regularly from Woodley at $50, to convey
the President home and the latter may
generally be seen coming in to work at
about $50 in the morning
