AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Need Of Additional Buildings for the airlS
Reform School.
Item I'm the Present Appropriation
Bnl-To Repair the Con-
dutt Road.

The need Of additional buildings at the
girls reform school has been urgently felt
but the difficulty could not be remedied
without aid from Congress. The school
just at present consists Of one large build
ing. which has accommodations for about
thirty girls, not including the teachers and
attendants. The inmates who have been
committed to the institution, through the
medium Of the police and criminal courts
are all colored, leaving no place in which
to confine the white girls of an incorrigi-
Bile disposition. There was no desire to
compel the white and black girls to re-
main in the same building, and as a result
the white girls who have been committed
In the courts have invariably been turned
over to the care Of the sisters at the House
Of the Good Shepherd, on the New Cut
road. near 35th street.
The matter has been called to the at
tent1on of the Commissioners on more
than one occasion, and the suggestions
made were needed. An item was inserted
In the appropriation bill for next year
providing sum not exceeding $4,000 to
be expended in erecting another family
building to the school. The bill carries
with it the provision that the new build
Ing be erected under contract. According
to the appropriation bill as it will be pre-
sented to the House of Representatives in
short time only $25,O0O of the needed
sum Is appropriated for the purpose leav-
ing the remainder of the sum to be acted
upon at the next session Of Congress
To Repair the Conduit Road.
Preparations are now being made for
the annual repair of the Conduit road un-
der the direction Of Captain Gaillard of
the War, Department who has charge of
the work. Large quantities Of flint rock
have been piled alongside the roadway at
different points of the highway where re-
pairs are needed. and as soon as the
weather opens up slightly the portable
stone crusher will be hauled to the scene,
crush the rocks and the pieces distributed
over the surface of the road. The repairs
will cost in the neighborhood of $1,000.

A New Version OF An Extremely OLD
Affair
The Chinese port which Germany
has recently seized received its name
by curious incident, the poetic recital
Of which forms a separate chapter in
the Peachblossom Annals Of the En-
peror of Peeks-ti, says an exchange.
It seems that the Son of Heaven,
who had just had the spot surveyed
and cut into corner lots, was hard up
for an appropriate name for it. He
thereupon summoned his ministers,
asking them to suggest one, but as the
proposal of each one displeased him he
ordered them all beheaded. At last,
in great anger, he summoned the eldest
grand-niece Of his thirty second wife.
What" he shrieked, shall ] name
it?' Your majesty" faltered the
frightened girl, Il would call it--call
it-call it. So incensed was the
emperor at her hesitation that he
seized his royal three-eyed peacock
feather and tickled her nose with it.
gesture too extreme to be indicated
by boiling oil or the slicing process
with a rubbing Of fresh salt. "Wen,
what?" he howled. "Kia-Chouw sho
exclaimed, instinctively. The emperor
was so pleased with her poetical ex-
clamation, which is High Old Man
churian for Take the darn old thing
awayr that he christened the port on
the spot and married the princess the
same evening. From this union sprung
the first rulers of the Atch-atch -acbew
dynasty. The German emperor, who
is a close student of the Mongolian
dialects, was charmed by his first view
of this port. "Kla-Choup he exclaimed,
Ia rapture, as he took a pinch of snuff,
take the darn thing awsyr This
natural exclamation being misunder-
stood by his followers, the place was
seized and Germany unwittingly csm-
mitted to her recent course of action.

nERLIN POLICE MnrHepe
Hsw a Woman was Treated IN Her
Own House.


Lately when a German was badly
treated by the police at Port-au- Prince,
Germany sent men-of-war to obtain
reparation. case has occurred here
in Berlin, in one OF the most frequent
ed streets, which, though have grown
accustomed to much. ] should not have
thought possible, says the Berlin cor
respondent Of the London Daily News.
A lady allowed her newly engaged
housemaid TO go out, but requested her
to be in at 10, the hour at which Ber-
lin houses are closed. At a quarter
past that hour, I'm her dressing gown
and slippers and without hat, she
went down the public stairs to see il
the girl had, perhaps. been locked out.
She found her in front of the door, in
the company OF man, who, when tho
lady summoned the girl to come In,
cried that he would not allow her, but
would take her with him. The mistress
asked policeman, who chanced to be
passing, for his assistance, but was re-
fused, whereupon she said well. you
are a nice policeman. What are you
there for?" The policeman very gruf-
fly ordered the lady to 20 into the
house. She objected, and all at once
he seized hold OF her and d Jared her
10 be arrested. The Mortified lady I'm
vain protested. pointing to her disha-
billie and declaring It was impossible to
be dragged out to the police station on
a cold winter night and SO thinly clad.
The policeman, however. insisted, and
the lady asked to be allowed to lock
the house, as she had left the door of
her fiat open. All her entreaties. how
ever, were in vain. When she tried,
without permission, to lock the door.
the policeman rushed at her. seized her
by the waist and dragged her into the
street. He then grabbed at her arm
and showed her on before him. An
empty cab came along and his prisoner
begged him to allow her at least to get
In and be spared the disgrace of wan
dering TO the station accompanied by
the usual mob. She jumped into the
cab, but the rascal pulled her out with
such force that her gown was torn and
her arms were black and blue. She
was Obliged to walk. When she got
to the police station her husband
rushed in, but he was told to get out,
with the words, BE OFF, or you will be
arrested, too" After a short interview
the lady was released. So much for
the incredible story, but still more
monstrous is its sequel. The police
brought action against the lady for
having insulted a member Of the force.
or course she was acquitted, but so far
nothing has been heard as to whether
the policeman was punished by his su-
periors.

A STORY ABOUT NELSON.
Fell Desperately In Love with "A Beautiful
and witty Canadian Girl

Fell Desperately In Love with "A Beautiful
and witty Canadian Girl.
A pretty little romance gives Nell
sons memory a sentimental interest in
Canada, says Leslles Weekly. Dur
ing his service at Quebec, in 1882. when
he was but "a years of age, he became
infatuated with beautiful Canadian
girl, Mary Simpson daughter Of a great
Canadian merchant of the period. At
the time Of Nelson's visit she was but
16 years old, marvelously beautiful and
witty. On Oct. II, 1882. Lord Nelson's
ship, the Albemarle, was ready to sail,
and he had a very sad and tender
parting with Mary Simpson, and went
down the st. Lawrence to board the
man-of-war. The next morning ar
rived and the Albemarle did not heave
anchor and Captain Nelson was seen
coming back to Quebec IN a boat. A
friend of Nelson, a man prominent in
Quebec at the time, espied him and
asked him what had happened. Nell
son is quoted as having said: II find
IL absolutely impossible to leave this
place without again waiting upon her
whose society has so much added to ito
charms and laying myself and my for
tune at her feet" Nelson's friend pro-
tested against such a rash act and told
him that, Situated as you are at pres
ent, your utter ruin will inevitably fol-
low Then let It follow" replied
Nelson, earnestly, for am resolved to
do IT," But despite his intentions the
stronger will of his friend prevailed,
and he was fairly carried back 10 the
ship and forced TO leave behind the girl
he loved. and It was many years before
he gave up the hope of possessing her.
for Nelson never returned to Canada,
and Mary Simpson died in spinster-
hood.
