ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS.
Applicants for Relfef-Chrfstmas Fes-
tivities-A Slight Fire.

Several applications for relief have been
made by worthy people in this section to
the local police, and the parties were di-
rected to the headquarters of the Asso-
ciated Charities, Washington. If all those
who apply to the police for charity are to
be sent to the main office of the Associated
Charities to obtain relief it will impose
great hardship upon them. a few years
ago the organization had a representative
here, Mr.. j. w. Tolson, whose Office was
convenient, and who attended to the ap-
peals which The various churches were un-
able TO respond TO because of other cases.
Mr.. Tolson has, however, retired now, but
the need for such charitable agency is
greater than ever before. The matter has
been brought to the attention of the super
intendent of charities.
The annual Christmas exercises for the
children of the German Orphan Asylum

ercises to the orphans and several hundred

the children of the asylum. Each little
heart was made glad, for Santa Claus
had in his sack presents for each and every
one.
In ST. Elizabeths Hall Friday evening
the inmates Of the institution assembled
and were presented with gifts from large
tree which occupied the center of the
stage. DR.. A. H. Wilmer, the assistant SUI
per;rtendent, made happy speech Of con-
graduation, after which Santa Claus was
impersonated by Mr.. Antonio Repetti. The
gifts were distributed, and each patient and
each ward was remembered, either by their
frier DIS or the hospital An excellent Christ

canton Society Woman About to Visit
the White House.
special to the New York Herald from
canton Ohio, yesterday. says: Miss Clara
Shields. daughter of R. s. Shields. lead
ing lawyer of that city, was seriously and
perhaps fatally burned yesterday.
Miss Shields was standing in front of a
crate In her room when her skirts caught
nre from the burning gas in the imitation
log fire. A call for help brought her father
and mother, and the flames were extin-
guished, but not until Miss Shields had
been severely burned from her feet to her
neck. Her face is not injured. Miss SHEDS
was to start to Washington in a few days
to be the guest of Assistant Secretary
and Mrs. Day, and later of President and
Mrs. Mckinley. She expected to spend
some days with Miss Mary Barber, niece
OF the President, in the White House.
Miss Shields is one Of the lecal society
young women.
The attending physicians say tonight that
the burns in themselves will hardly prove
fatal. but the shock occasioned by the mis-
hap is so great that the result may not be
determined for day or 80.

Result Of O. Row.

Edward Peterson. a plumber who went
out to enjoy skating on the lake in the
Soldiers Home grounds Saturday evening,
did not return home that night, but was
sent to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment.
He had figured in a fight with some col
ored men, who attacked him, and received
a severe stab wound in the eye. His friends
took him to a drug store on Brightwood
avenue and later he was removed to the
hospital by the police. Today his condition
is much better than 1t was yesterday, and
NO serious result II anticipated.

Victoria Wants a Fortune.

The following advertisement, which

last of many efforts which have been made
by Queen Victoria of England, through
her agents, for twenty years or more to ac-
quire possession of the estate of an old
cotton trader, long dead, and which, under
q curious and ancient law, belongs to her:
ITO stockholders and others-1nforma-
ton wanted as to purchases of railway or
other stock or shares in American COM

of Charley Lancashire, England, cashier
(for some time resident in the United
States, who died in England in 1878; date
of supposed purchases uncertain. ANY
person affording information which will
lead to discovery of such (unreaized) in
yestments will be suitably rewarded. Ad-
dress Messrs. Hockmeyer, 127 Green
street, New York" John Robert Turner,
who was born in the opening year of the
century, is supposed to have died pos
sessed of American securities valued at
from $4,000 to 100000, but this for
tune mysteriously disappeared at his
death and no trace of it has even been
found, though before it was learned that
the sovereign had the first claim upon it.,
others who believed themselves heirs
made Il thorough search.

vice and the Pennsylvania is also making

roads used the track of the Big -Four IN

railroads done by the floods is estimated
at 100000, and the damage to mdl-
yiduals in the flooded district is estimated
to be 100000 more. At Memphis,
