Prof. A. NJ. Pickett, the noted Hyp-
notist, began weeks entertainment at
the opera house on Monday night.
Prof. Pickett is not stranger to the
people of Medicine Lodge. He was
here three years ago and made many
friends. His entertainments this time
are more complete than even then and
each night brings him larger crowds.
The prices of admission are within the
reach of all-10 and 20 cents-and we
are confident that all who haye wit
messed Prof. Pickett's marvellous work
would not miss it for twice the price.
He is certainly one of the best hypno-
lists in the country and his entertain
ments are edlfying, amusing and very
instructive.

CITY HALL GOSSIP.

Mr.. Arthur A. Birney is to be a candidate
This was brought about by the fear that
Candidate Harry E. Davis might fail of
confirmation by the Senate. This will be
used by Mr.. Davis opponents in favor Of
Mr.. Birney and the other candidate, Con
rad Robinson, who was for years connected
with the district attorneys office.
1T is said that the silver Senators will re-
fuse TO vote for Mr.. Davis because of his
attitude in the recent campaign. Notwith-
standing that this may be without real
foundation, yet Mr.. Davis opponents know
that the Chief Executive would rather send
a name certain to be confirmed than one
containing single element OF doubt which
might result in the matter being deferred
until after President Mckinley comes into
power.
There is one way this could come about
III the Senate fails to confirm the appoint
ment before the expiration OF Mr.. Biney's
term OF office the court would have the
appointment OF a temporary district attor-
ney, who would be allowed 20 serve until
the qualification of the regular appointee,
which might be deferred until after Presi-
dent Cleveland goes out Of office. If mat
tiers come to this pass, it Is almost certain
that Mr.. Birney would be selected by the
court for the temporary service, and such
arrangement might 20 far to confirm his
permanent appointment for another term
of office.

FUN AFTER OFFICE HOURS.

practical joker of the Theodore Hook
type has just died in Strassburg His
name was Paul Mason, and the way he
amused hirself was by making fools of his
fellow men. He was employed in the Ma
tional Library at Paris, where he was
noted for his soberness and strict atten-
tion to duty. After office hours he in
dulged his penchant. He would send under
takers TO persons giving state dinners; send
false news with confirmatory documents
to newspapers; send sensational marriage
notices, etc.
His most successful hoax was ON the
Academy of Sciences. After horrible rail-
way collision he printed and sent to the
academy a proposition which was gravely
passed on by the secretary to the commit
tee on railroads The proposal was to
place inclined planes, with rails on them,
in front of engines and behind the rear car
of trains. Then when one train ran into
another it would run up the plane ON the
rails, cross the train and down at the other
end with no damage.
Recently Mason sent out invitations for

Hitherto, The Times mas suggested that
the situation and advauta yes of our CITY
offer the basis for The enlargement Of

Bctivities. ia the way OF manufacturing
and other interests. The American pub
lie is on the eve OF migratory move
ment, the product Of reStleSSneSs born
of recent hard times. Farmers, merchants
and manufacturers in sections which have
suffered exceptionally, compared with 9th
ers, are looking for new locations and
fresh start. The agricultural, mineral and
uther attractions of the country contiguous
60 the Capital, win bring many of these
people TO Maryland, Virginia and the Dis
trict OF Columbia. The mild aud excel
lent climate, educational and religious adj
vantaees of the city will attract many
Others; aud we may look for a steady
growth OF desirable population, if new
manufactures and other means Of en-
ployment can be secured.
To accomplish this it may he only nee

enterprises as study and investigation might

The Free Public Library.

Ifever any doubt existed in the mind Of
any member Of Congress as to tie desira-
biliry, or necessity, for the establishment
OF a free pubic library in the District Of
Columbia, he need tut read the report #
Gen. A W. Greeley, president OF the Wash
ington City Free Library Association, which
was published in The Times yesterday
morning. 1t is clearly shown there how
great is the demand for such an institu-
ton, for even with the comparatively linz
tied resources OF the ASSOCIATION a large
number Of readers were supplied with
books, periodicals and other proper read
ing matter. With admirable public spirit,
Gen. Greeley declares the readiness Of the
association to turn over its entire library
10 the body created by act Of Congress as
soon as it viii be in condition to receive the
collection. and the latter Will serve as
nucleus for that greater free public library
which, il is hoped, Washington may possess
n the near future
iita u III Niltlt
estimates for the next fiscal year an item
for a modest appropriation for the Free
Public Library. 1t does not, OF course, come
near to what is needed. but il is at least
something. and, if granted, will serve as
welcome indication that Cngressis disposed
20 recognize not only the right OF the PEG
pie OF the District to support such an in
stitution, but the propnety OF placing the
National Capital in line with other far
less important cities Of the country where
flee libraries have long been in existence
and supported from the public treasury.
More than in any OF these is a free public
library a necessity here, for il would be
an invaluable boon to the floating part Of
our population, to which. all sections OF
tie country contribute.
IL is hardly necessary to elaborate upon
the educational value Of such an institution.
Everybody admits that it would lee an ef
fective supplement to our public school
system. II no other reasons existed for
its support from public funds, this ought 10
be aI-sufficicnt.

An exhibition of the paintings of Lord
Leighton, the late president of the Brit

Mr.. George w. Brock, of Chicago, presi-

The Emperor's Disfavor.

1t is only too evident that Emperor Will
lam is not in love with the United States.
The indication OF this fact which foreign
press reports frequently bring to us. is the
cause Of wonder tomany Americans They
fail to see why the young man should en-
terrain unfriendly sentiments toward a
country so soon to bee ruled by his name
sake, or what dynastic or political rea-
sons Germany could have for the evident
diSfavor in which Uncle Sam is held at
Berlin.
There are reasons, however, which, no
doubt, are powerful with the Kaiser.
Among other things his imperious nature
resents rivalry OF any sort whatever.
His nation has been making giant strides
in the march OF commercial development
our consul ut Chemnitz has reported that
official figures show the German import
trade, FOR 1895 to have exceeded that of
both the United States and France and
10 have been second only to that OF Eng
land. But this position has not been won
without struggle, and the boundless re-
sources ana commercial spirit OF the great
Western Republic must always represent
an element OF menace to it's pernanency.
William is shrew d enough to see that, in
this deadly struggle for bread which is
going ON between peoples, as il formerly
did almost only between individuals, the
nation with the greatest reserve force OF
undeveloped resources, viii have the best
chance TO hold the winning hand in the
long run.
While Germany territory in Europeis full
lyoccupied, andiiablein the fdtare to become
overcrowded, the United States has elbow
room enough To last for generations. The
Emperor might forgive this if the Monroe
doctrine did not shut HIM out of the west
