Major sylvester Improving.

Major Richard Sylvester, the chief Of
police, who was attacked by the grip
last week, and who is now confined 10 his
residence at No 1l0i Rhode Island Avenue,

week he will be able to attend to his du-
ties at police headquarters. Major Syl-
vester has been suffering with a cold for
some time. but refused to leave his desk
and remain at his home until his ai,ment
became so severe that he was compelled
TO do so last SATURDAY.. Many inquiries
were made at the home of the popular
chief of the city's police by anxious
friends yesterday, and the announcement
of his improvement was received with
pleasure by all.

William II. Amiss, Inspector Boardman's
private secretary, was on deck as usual
despite the fact that a large Christmas
tree and an interesting family awaited
him at home.
The day was very quiet in police circles,
there being no serious cases for the guar
dians of the peace to deal with and very
few minor disorders. The cells at the
station houses were all very full. The
persons were seldom very troublesome
however, all of them seeming to know in

The Success of japan.


Consul General Convey, of Yokohama,
says: 1.-The success achieved by Japanese
manufacturers and exporters seems to be
due, in some degree, to the cheapness of
their goods; government aid, however,
has had stimulating effect in the ex-
tension of their foreign markets. The gov
ernment department called the 'Nosho-
musho' is devoted to the interests of
agriculture and commerce. Commerce
receives further governmental aid by the
support extended to its merchant marine
in the shape Of bounties and subsidies
by law which came into force on
October /, 1886, vessel of above 1000
tons that runs more than 10 knots per

per ton for the first LOCO knots run and
one-tenth of the same rate for every
additional 500 knots. The Japanese EN-
pire has no government agencies in 9TH

ucts.- aside from the usual consular ef-
forts for the promotion of trade; the

OFFICES WILL CERTAINLY MOVE.
A Portion of Mr., HOtcblxiss' Depart
ment VIII Go to Cincinnati.

The rumor which has been rife for some
removalsof the general freight offices of
the Chesapeake and Ohio from this city
TO Cincinnati was in a measure verified
yesterday.
Mr.. e. d. Hotchkiss. the general freight
agent, was seen in his Office by Dispatch
man and impaired the information that a
portion Of his force would soon go TO the
Ohio city. Mr.. Hotchkss only returned
to the city yesterday morning, and he
knew but little OF the details Of the re-
moval he said that he would be in po-
sition to-day to say just what portion OF
his department would go, but that he only
knew yesterday that some OF his force
would be removed to Cincinnati, and that
neither he nor his chief clerk, Mr.. John
Upshur, would have to go.
Mr. Hotchkiss employs In his depart
ment about forty clerks, and he was in
clined to the belief yesterday that large
portion of this clerical force would be
moved. He did not know which of the
clerks would be sent and In the absence
of orders did not care TO speculate. He
expects to receive his orders to-day.
General-Ma Stevens said 70 Dis
patch man last night that the advices he
had received were TO the effect that the
Freight Claim Department, which is pre-
sided over by Mr.. John Orndorff, would
be the only department moved. This de-
partment is under the supervision of Mr..
Hotchkiss. The reason for removing 1t TO
Cincinnati, Mr. Stevens explained, is that
1t can be more in touch with the Big
Four railroad, from which 1t receives
most of its business. The change Will,
however. hardly be made in the very
near future.

Rev, Mr.. Hite's Sermons.

The Rev. Lewis F. Hite will begin to-
morrow his work here for the summer.
He will preach morning and evening at
the usual hours In the mission room, No.
.71-2 west Marshall street. The sermons
will aim to help people see and live the
spiritual truth the Lord teaches in His
Word. Without making any invidious dis
tinctions. these sermons will be charac-
terized by the fact that they recognize In
the Bible a distinct spiritual meaning, an
inner and higher meaning within and be-
hind the letter, as that which makes the
letter powerful unto salvation. according
to the words, 1.-The letter killeth, but the
Spirit giveth life"
All who think they may be helped by
this preaching are cordially invited TO
come. The services are held at IL A. M
and s p. NJ.

Polk Miller Meets the Sponsors.

This from the Atlanta Constitution VIII
be read here with interest:
Yesterday afternoon Colonel and Mrs.
w. A. Hemphill kept open house in honor
of the surviving members or the Iroup
Artillery, and a delightful gathering Oh
neople were assembled in their hospitable
home between the hours Of and o'clock.
Several hundred guests were in attend
ance and the gray-coated veterans stood
in groups talking over war times ana en-
loving the delicious beverages served by
the hospitable hostess and the party OF
ladies assisting her. Toward the latter
part of the evening number OF the
Young ladies' committee of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy and a party OF
the SPONSORS came in, and attracted by
the strains of the banjo, found the mimi
table Polk Miller entertaining party OF
his friends in the dining-room. 1t was
like old friends had met, and the young
ladies grouped about the well-known de-
lineator Of negro character and songs,
caught the refrain of his music, and all
'ioined in the chorus" He sang many
of the old-fashioned songs, and the vete-
rams soon stopped telling their war sto-
ries, and, crowding round the girls and
Polk Miller, had what they probably
would term "a real good, old-time tune.
AS the music of the voices died out
Polk Miller touched the strings OF his
banjo, and it gave forth one of those
peculiarly catchy tunes that inspires even
our sophisticated elders to see II they
have forgotten how to dance. The vete-
rams clapped their hands, the girls all
wanted to dance, but RETAINED, when
suddenly a graceful. sylphlike little wo-
man from North Carolina could resist 1t
no longer, and, catching her lace-fuiiied
skirts, she INDUCED in an old-time dance
that charmed the entire assemblage; and
when it grew dark 1t was with great re-
luctance that everybody said eood-by to
the gracious host and hostess. Polk Mil
Ter. and the little woman who had danced
by his banjo music.

John Has to Separate Them.
There was an interesting case before
Justice John In the Police Court yester-
day morning, involving FIVE country pro-
duce dealers and the city ordinances
These ordinances provide that the coun-
trvmen may sell at the market and on the
streets from their carts during market
hours each morning and all day Saturday,
but must stop every morning. except Sat
urday, at the time the market bell pro-
claims that market hours are over.
The five men who appeared for violating
the city ordinances were Frank Heath,
Andrew Miller, James Austin, Willis..i
Ransom, and Walter +. Walters. 1t was
evident they did not even know or the
enactment OF the city fathers, and did
what they did with no Intentional disre-
gard of the laws of the capital OF the Old
Dominion. So Justice John, inclined TO
be merciful let them off with one or his
finest lectures, and agreed TO call 1t
square II they would do so no more.
