A BEAUTIFUL THING
An Exquisite Work Of Art in a China
PIacnue.

There stands in the window of Edward
Walls establishment, set in a beautiful
frame, u large china PLAGUE, which would
prove an attractive ornament to the walls
of the finest home. The center disk con-
tains an categorical assemblage consisting
of a beautiful woman in a chariot amid
clouds, her steeds beinZHgaudy butterflies.
Surrounding the chariot are flying cupids.
The flesh tints are exquisite, and the deli
cacy of all the colors is remarkable. The
rim of the PLAGUE, which is some two
inches in width is composed of geOmet-
rical filagree designs all in pure gold. A
lady connoisseur who stood admiring the
masterpiece remarked that there could not
be less than twenty dollars worth of gold
employed in the decorations of the rim.
The work is well worth it and in its gor-
geous frame can hardly fail of catching
the eye of every passer by. The PLAGUE
is the work of Mrs Ella Glenn Shields,
who is an acknowledged artist in china
painting, and who spent weeks in the pro-
duction of this marvel of delicate touches
and exquisite colors and which is est-
mated to be worth anywhere from 500 to
$500.

mandate Of that court will be sent down
to the police court and the defendants
viii be required TO pay their fine of 500
each. 1t is to be supposed that this will
be the requiem of the trading stamp leech
in the District of Columbia"
The World was favored last Monday
with visit from the managers of the
trading stamp association. The visit was
perfectly friendly and the matter was dis
cussed upon its merits. the gentlemen go
ing into details in regard to the practical
working Of the association. The result is
that the World thinks as strongly as ever
that the idea Of the stamp business is
wrong and that it cannot assist business
but only causes a division OF profits. The
gentlemen have their business we'll in
hand and can talk most persuaSively and
the World does not wonder that a number
of merchants gave their names beofre
counting the cost. The merchants in the
stamp association are surely too wise to
think that the other merchants of the city
would sit idly by and let them take away
their business with some shrewd scheme.
The logical result fthe stamp business
will try to counteract the influences by
offering superior inducements of their
own. The stamp merchants twill draw
business from competitors and competi-
tors will draw business from them. The
volume of the business of to city will not
be increased and it will be done with an
increased expenditure of per cent. Try
as hard as they may not to advance the
price OF goods in order to give out stamps
they will be forced to increase prices.
Explained in the best manner by the
managers, the stamp business cannot do
what they claim for it. 1t does not tell
people what a merchant has to sell and
it does not quote prices for special sales.
The merchant pays far too much and the
customer gets far too little.
The World predicts that the life Of the
stamp association will be short and trou-
blesome and that the business men of the
town will be glad to attend it's funeral

Cure by Hoods SarsaparilIa
After Others Failed.

al was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this,
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. Ny
face looked so bad that some OF my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear bandage, but |
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So
Could Not Hide the Sores.
Ny niece, who was familiar with case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods sarsaparills, urged me to try it.
Finally was persuaded to do so, and in
q short time l saw it was helping me.
The sores began TO heal and the neu-
rslgia in my head was better. In few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
] have never had any symptom OF scrofuls
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affection. The neuralgia is also cured"

ABSENT FOR TWELVE YEARS
A Former Washingtonian Left Wife and
Children in 1885.
Now Dying of Consumption in Phfla
delphfa and Wants to See
His Friends.

Inspector Mattingly has received letter
from William p. Ford. who lives at No.
400 South Goth street, Philadelphia, making
inquiries for relatives or friends of John
O'Leary, who is dying of consumption in
the Quaker city.
His folks lived some time ago in your
city, Washington" writes Mr.. Ford. He
was born in the county of Cork, Ireland,
and came to this country when he was
three months old, landing at Salem, Mass
His mother died June /. 1879. He has a
wife in the northwestern section of Wash
ington, or at least she was there when last
heard of, some three or four years ago.
Her maiden name is Barry, and she has
four children, the Oldest a boy, named Will
liam, the second, a girl, named Mary: the
third, Harry, and the fourth girl. This
John O'Leary left Washington in October
1856. l think . grocer named John Stod-

other man who knew him Is Patrick Nc

SUMPTION
Mrs. O'Lenry Located.
This afternoon Detectives Boardman and
Gsllaher found the wife of the dying man
after they had visited almost every family
of O'Learys in the city. She had dropped
the 20" from her. name, and is now known
as Mrs. Annie Leary. She is charwoman
in the treasury, and lives at 21Ol X street
northwest.
When the officers saw her at her home
and impaired to her the news of her hus-
bands condition she was visibly affected,
being unable to keep back her tears. The
sepa ration, it is understood. was the fault
of the husband. About twelve years ago,
she said, her husband walked out of the
house and left her with four small children.
Since then he has not corresponded with
her; but about seven years ago, five years
after his departure, she heard from him
indirectly.
While she did not say she would go to
her husband, the officers believe she will
leave for Philadelphia as soon as she can
arrange for the trip.

INCREASE IN TRAVEL TO ORIENT,
Pacific Mail Steamship Company
Makes an Interesting Showing.

NUktS I'M INlcTcStINS SnOWIn..
The annual report of the passenger bust
ness of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
has been fled with the government. 1t shows
an increase in travel between this country
and the orient which is little less than phe-
nomenal. The approximate number of pass
engers carried both to and from China and
Japan during the year was 12,O0). which is
an increase of % per cent over the previous
year, and 40 per cent more than the num-
her handled for the corresponding trips
during the same seasons of the year 1885
Though the report does not distinguish
between cabin and steerage and white and
Monaghan passengers, yet il is fac.
that the bulk of the increase has been il.
the cabin, and consists OF the very hes.
class of tourist travel

Zee Cren in on Fire.

From the Philadelphia Record.
At children's party the other day the
ice cream was served in a way to draw
forth the most extravagant explanations
of delight from the young company. 1t
was packed in little candlestocks cleverly
made of pink paper, and to add to the illu-
sion, in the hollow of the tube which form
ed the candle short taper was inserted
and lighted. Most children had seen burn
ing plum pudding at Christmas time, but
ice cream on fire was a paradox to which
they were not accustomed.

Of employing attorneys to test the consti-

Indian Commissioner Jones was seen later
