STEEPLE JACK IN TOWN.
An Aerial Painter Who Attracts Con
siderable Attention.


The attention Of pedestrians in the vi
cinity of the Hutchins Building was at
tracted this morning by the sight of a man
calmly at work painting the fagpole which
surmcunts the tower of the structure. At
the dizzy height he worked as unconcern-
edly as though he were standing on the
ground, painting fence. His name is
Charles F. Clark, better known as "Steeple
Jack"
"Steeple jack is famous in many parts
of the country where he has pursued his
perilous occupation, that of painting stee-

"Steeple jack is the senior member of
the firm of Clark Bros, which includes
himself and two brothers.
They have been in Washington for sew
eral days, and during that time have paint
ed a number of fiagstaffs in various parts
of the city. Originally the firm consisted
of five brothers, but during the past two
years two of them have been killed by
falling from high places. One was killed
last fall in Providence, R. l., while paint
ing a church steeple, and the other at

tonians since last Sardou's "Divorcons"
was presented in the city-curious because
the play is one of the brightest and clever

tage of these chances on Monday night at
the Columbia Theatre, where she will pre-
sent the piece with the aid of good COM
pany and what is said to be an elaborate
investiture of scenery and costumes. Miss
Blair herself has never shown her local
friends any specimen of her lighter merits,
but outside critics are quoted as having
proclaimed her Julia one of the best known
to the contemporary stage. Certainly,
Miss Blair is thoroughly earnest in her at

CASHIER STILL MISSING
No Trace of the Metropolitan Club $
Trusted Employe.
PecuIations of Charles Eyesman, Jr.
Said TO Aggregate Mt Least S2O,-
O0O-His Embezxlement a Great
Surprise to His Employers-NO
Complaint Made to the Police

Something of a furore has been occas-
ioned in the Metropolitan Club by the
discovery that Charles Eyesman, jr., the
trusted cashier 'of the club, is a default
er to the extent OF $4,000.
Eyesman disappeared from his home in
this city about two weeks ago, and 1t was
then thought that his absence was caused
by temporary insanity, brought on by over
J work. He had been in the employ of the
club for twenty-iy years, and was SEEM
| ingly honest and very faithful to its in
| terests. The members of the club all
knew and respected him. His duties as
cashier necessitated the handling Of every
cent of the clubs money, and he was al
| lowed to handle the funds as he pleased.
The board of managers of the club bad
such confidence in their employe that they
did not require him to give bond. His
accounts were never questioned and he was
allowed to manage affairs in his own way.
Several months ago ii was noticed that
the cashiers health was failing and he
was advised to go away. He refused to
leave his desk, however, and would not
do as advised. Finally, the board of man
ayers took the matter in hand and insisted
cation. EyeSman returned to his desk at
the club about the middle of June and
seemed to be greatly benefited by his rest.
On June %, however, he disappeared and
has not been heard from since. 1t was
not though even then that the man was
guilty of dishonesty, but some of the club
/ members grew uneasy and an examination
of his accounts followed
The expert accountant has found that
the accounts are about $40, 900 short. The
members of the club are very reticent re-
garding the matter, and will not talk or
let any OF the clubs employees have any
| thing TO say on the subject. Ii was learn
ed that $4,000 is a conservative estimate,
however, and that the actual amount of the
defalcation is likely TO be found much
greater.
Since the fact of the shortage has been
brought TO light the members of the club
recall number OF incidents which have
aroused their suspicion, but were passed
! unnoticed because of their implicit con-
! fdence in the cashier. He was known 10
have been very eXtravagant for a long
time past.
1t is said that he acquired the sobri-
quet OF Champagne Charlie" through his
extravaganza in buying wine for anyone
and everyone who happened TO be where
he was indulging in dissipation.
The man has a wife and five children
and they are now without means of sup
port. The officials of the club are not dis
posed TO have their defaulting employe
| arrested and no report of the matter has
I. been made 10 the police. The cashier re-
moved two OF his account books when he
| left the club and the board of managers
would be satisfied if they could get hold OF
| these records.

NO MORE SMALLPOX PATIENTS.
Last Two Discharged From the IsO-
1atfng Hospital.

With the discharge of two patients from
the Smallpox Hospital today, the smallpox
outbreak has, so far as the Health Depart
ment knows, been brought TO an end At
one time about fifty patients were in the
hospital. The number has fluctuated un-
til it reached two several weeks ago. These
two patients continued to linger until to-
day, when they were pronounced well and
permitted to leave the institution. No new
cases have been discovered for almost a
month and il is thought at the Health Of
fee that the epidemic has been stamped
out entirely, although there may be iso-
lated cases occasionally. as long as the
disease RACES in the South. There are a
number of cases in Atlanta.
The persons discharged from the Small
pox Hospital this afternoon were: John
James, colored. ffty-one years old. lived
at 626 * Street southwest from which
place he was removed to the Smallpox
Hospital, June 3; Ida Foster. colored
twenty years old, lived al 1143 Fifth Street

moved TO the Smallpox Hospital June 4.

AUTOMOBILE NAIL CARTS
czZsr.
Successful Experiments Made With
the Motor Wagons.
Postmaster at Buffalo Demonstrates
That Time and Expense Can Be
Several Tests in That City-De-
partment Gets u Detailed Report.

It was announced a few days ago that
the Postofice Department authorities were
considering the feasibility of employing
CT the vehicles drawn by horses, and that
experiments were likely to soon be made in
Washington and other large cities.
Postmaster Dorr, of Buffalo, N. Y, has
demonstrated that there is great field
for the use of automobiles in the postal
service of large cities, and that their use
will reduce expenditures and expedite the
collection of mails.
Through the kindness of DR.. Truman j..
Martin, who owns an automobile trap,
the postmaster was able to make some
practical experiments in the collection of
mails, and his report on their result las
just been received by the Postofice De-
partment. He says that DR.. Martin offered
the use of his automobile for trial In the
collection of mails from street letter boxes
to demonstrate its advantages over the
horse collection wagon.
The first trial was made OH Saturday
evening, July l, when DR.. Martin managed
the automobile, carrying with him Super
intendent Of Carriers Liab, who collected
the mails from boxes Oh a route
eighteen miles long in one hour and tdirty
minutes. To cover the SAFE route with
a horse wagon required more than three
hours.
Trial was made OH another route the
next morning, when The mail was collect
ed from sixty-three boxes in one hour end
fifty minutes. The time required for a
horse wagon to cover this route is three
hours and five minutes.
Still another test was made on July 4,
ON another route, fifteen miles in length,
with fifty-four boxes, and the collections
were all made in ninety minutes.
Postmaster Dorr informs the depart
ment that Dr. Martin has ordered a spe
cially designed wagon to be fitted with a
box for receiving the mails Immediately
in front of the driver. and that when it
has been received 1t W.: be put into sery-
ice and report will be made OF its Per-
fCrmances. This report will be awaited
with much interest aud il may lead TO
experiments in other cities.
Buffalo experiments snow an average
saving of time of nearly one-half over the
wagon service, and if this can be main
tained il will enable the department to
give more frequent collections and to ex-
tend the collection and free delivery serv-
ice into the suburbs of cities without any
increase in cost.

An Excellent Field for the DISPOSE
tion of American Products.
American fruit in Norway is the topic
of Consul Henry Borderwick's latest COM
munication to the State Department His
reoprt includes the following statement of
the importations of fruit into that coun-
try during the year 1897: Oranges and lem
ons, $205. goo; grapes, SO, 800; apples and
pears. $lS,49O; other green fruit, $4,000;
dried fruits, s2SS,S70; canned fruits, S49,-
600: nuts, s66. eco; total, s597,12O.
of this only about s25, 900 worth came
from the United States. The balance was
imported principally from Germany, Hol-
land, Denmark, and Southern Europe, the
canned fruit coming from France.
The report continues as follows:
The imports OF fruit in 1898 were larger
than in 1897, for the reason that the sum-
mer was cold and native fruit general
failure in consequence. This year is re-
markable for its late spring. On the high
ground in central Norway and in the north
it is still much like winter. In many
places stock has to be killed for want of
food. 1t will thus be seen that there is
good reason TO believe that the fruit crop
in this country will again be a failure,
and American shippers should make ar

little, if any, American high-grade fruit
in this market, and / am certain that Eluch
more would be consumed if the goods Of
fered were of 4 better quality. American
apples in barrels very often arrive in such
poor condition that the importers suffer

From Spain apples come in shallow
baskets, each holding about one bushel.
This fruit is nearly always sound, and, al
though the quality is poor, it brings a
good price. Apples in barrels get bruised
and spoil. / believe it would pay to have
first-class fruit wrapped in paper and
packed in shallow boxes or baskets. If
the fruit is of good quality, the increase
in price would be no objection. Of the
