1t is somewhat depressing TO learn, as
stated in last evenings Star, that horticul-
t,Irists regard Washington as possessing
very poor la yns. There are such excep

taken at ONE by all house-hoiders to rem

complain. These learned men declare that
there are too many weeds and too much

Yhe Glory of auolrla.

The curator of the French archives Is
about to give to the public the first in
stallment of several hundred letters writ

years ago by the then editors of the Ma
poleonic correspondence. The reason of
fered was that they were mot calculated
t. increase the glcry of the great French
emperor Samples Of the letters are ca
bled. and it must be admitted that they
are mot calculated to increase the glory
OF the French emperor" But hiteous

anything to the emperors' reputation for
persecution and dupIicity. Authoritative
Napoleonic literature is very full, touching

What is called glory as applied to Ma
poleon is the glory of war He ranks with

CHAMPION LADY SKATER.
Miss Davidson to Appear at the Ice
Palace This Week.

The attraction at the Convention Hall
Ice Palace this week will be Miss Fannie
Davidson. the champion lady skater of the
United States and Canada. Miss David
son belongs to the remarkable family Of
which so much has been heard in skating
and cycling circles, John and Harley
Davidson, the skaters and bicycle flers,
being her brothers, and Mabel Davidson,
who is so kindly remembered by the peo
pie of Washington, her sister. .s,,-.,
This is Miss Fannie Dayidson's second
appearance In this country as skater, and
it is confidently believed that she will
speedily be made as great favorite as
was her sister Mabel last year. The
latter is now fulfilling engagements in
London, England, where she is astonish-
ing the Britons with her marvellous skill,
and will go from there to Paris.
1t is thought by great many that Miss
Fannie Davidson's skating is fully up to
that OF her sister, Mabel, and she is
thought to excel her in more than one
way. In one respect Miss Fannie David
son certainly goes ahead OF her sister; she
is prettier, and thatis saying a great deal.
Her costumes, which she will bring with
| her to this city, have excited the admira- :
tion of all who have witnessed her work,
and they excel in rome respects the pretty
and fetching creations which her sister
Mabel wore last year.

Echoes OF the Moore-Raedy boxing con-
test are still to be heard. While the ma
jority of those who saw the bout believe
it to have been an up-and-up affair and are
well satisfied with it, there are others who
do not hesitate to very emphatically de-
clare that il had a very fakey appearance.
That Moore holds the first place in the
third row of fighters in his class in this
country can hardly be disputed, and those
who know his standing in his profession
figured that Raedy would surely be an
easy mark for him.
But they figured poorly. Moore, it is
generally conceded, was in wretched con-
dition, but Raedy, from the first to the
last of the controversy, made a showing
that astonished even his most ardent adj
mirers, and they are now indulging in
some extravagant and unwise talk.
In fact, they are now praising P at as
second to none of the middle weights, and
are on fair way to get him into serious
unpleasantness if they back their expressed
belief with money. Pat bears with mod
esty the flattery heaped upon him.
