One of the most popular organizations
with the younger element of Washington
society, the Saturday Evening Assembly.
were the hosts at dance al the National
Rifles Armory last night. The assembly
was first organized last year by a few
young people of kindred spirits and imme-
diately began giving the dances on one
Saturday evening in each month.
The Carroll Institute Hall. where all the
previous dances had been given, was much
too small for the assembly and larger
quarters We're sought. The National Rifles
Armory was finally decided upon as the
place 10 dance if the pleasant evenings
were to continue, and the first event was
held there last night.
The immense ball room was crowded
when the strains of the first waltz sounded
through the corridors and in an instant
it was turned into a whirling mass OF
color. Brilliant costumes have always
been feature of the assembly's evenings
and last night was no exception. The la
dies were all well gowned and presented
the appearance of a series of Gibson pic
lures. Much of the success Of last nights
affair is due to the efforts of Manager Ed
ward Goodwin who has always been active
in looking after the interests of the guests
OF the assembly.

STOPPING THE RUN.
Ingenious Way of Saving the Credit oi
Spanish Banks.

Spanish Banks.
A man who recently left Lisbon tells
an interesting story Of the manner IN
which the Bank of Spain checked the
run upon that institution several weeks
ago The circulating medium OF Spain
consists of the notes of that bank and
the silver which is held to redeem them
to rs per cent, / believe, of their par
value. AS the public were losing con-
fidence in the financial stability OF tho
government, crowds of people took
their paper notes to the bank for re-
demption. Under ordinary circum.
stances, they will exchange silver for a
paper note without any delay, but when
the run commenced the managers
found it necessary to adopt some meas
uros to restore confidence and to save
the specie in their own vaults. 1t would
not do, of course, for them to show the
white feather or refuse to redeem their
own notes, so they adopted an ingeni-
Gus plan which ultimately tired out the
people and stopped the demand for
coin. Thousands OF people surrounded
the bank-many OF them were in bad
temper-and stood in lines several
blocks long awaiting their turn at tho
cashiers counter. When one of them
finally reached him and laid down the
note he wished to exchange for silver
coin, he was held for five or ten min
utes and subjected to a cross-eXamina-
ton such as might have been given
him by a census enumeratOr. In the
meantime, clerk wrote his answers
down upon a blank form-his age, oc-
cupqtion, residence, birthplace, the
names of his parents, etc. Then ne
was required to sign a formal applica-
tion for the exchange Of twenty pesetas.
for example in paper, for their equiEa"
lent in silver. Then he was sent away
and told to return in three days.
On the third day the man Woa,d re-

ed. This took couple of days more,
perhaps, and finally he was given
certificate or draft upon another cash
Ter. who, he was told, would pay him
the money. This made it necessary for
him to stand in another line for a day
or two, and when he finally reached
the proper place he would be required
to sign a receipt and make an oath Of
allegiance to the government and an
Endorsement of the financial soundness
Of the bank. Thus by this circum-
locutiOn ARRANGEMENT a man had to
waste seven or eight days to get pa
per dollar changed into silver, and the
tran 5action was 50 tedious and COmpG-
Gated that each consumed fifteen or
twenty minutes. As there was only
one cashier not mere than forty or fifty
persons at the utmost could he served
in a day, and the clamor finally sub
sided from exhaustion.

BEAUTIFUL DEADLY ORCHIDS
A Forest of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.

A Forest Of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.
M. Serge Belaguine, Russian ex-
plorer of Brazil, states in an interview
recently published In The Gaulois that
a few degrees below the equator he dis
covered a forest OF flowers that pre-
vented him from approaching them.
With every Difference to Mr. Belaguine,
that forest seems to have been discov-
cred before, says Golfers Weekly. Two
years ago there appeared in a San
Francisco paper an account provided
by bulb hunter returning from the
same region, who declared that after
noticing in forest an odor, vague and
sweet at first, but which increased as
he advanced ultimately he reached a
clearing, and there, straight ahead,
was a wilderness OF orchids. Trees
were loaded with them, underbrush
was covered with them, they trailcd on
the ground, mounted in beckoning con-
tortions, dangled from branches, fen in
sheets, and elongated and expanded as
far as the eye could reach. A breeze
passed and they swayed with it, NOV
ing with a life Of their own, dancing in
the glare of the equatorial sun, and as
they danced exhaling an odor that pro-
tected them more sheerly than wall.
In vain did that hunter endeavor to ap-
proach. There was veil of perfumed
chloroform through which he could see,
but through which, try as he might, he
could not pass. 1t held him back more
effectually than bayonets, and it was
torture to him to see those flowers and
to feel that before he could reach them
he must die, suffocated by the very
splendors Of which he was in search,
poisoned by floral jewels such as no
one perhaps had seen before. At the
time the place was known as the vii
lage of demon flowers.

Eur Plants Hard to Grow.

OF all the vegetables which come
into the summer market the most diff
cult TO raise is the egg plant, and for
this reason few truckers care to take
the trouble with thea. Few people i'll
the city really know how an egg plant
grows. The general impression is that
it grows egg upward on a stock like the
caulinower and there are some who be-
lieve il grows in the ground like tur-
nip. In fact, it grows on bush with
large leaf, and is never SO large as
tomatO-vine The plants must be
raised in a hOtDed and sci out in May
and require more than ordinary care.
A slipht rain will sometimes cause all
the eggs to rot and occasionally they
rot without any rain. One egg in half
a dozen tit for the market is a good
aXeragG.

Minnesota at the Ebbitt.
when a man has been convicted
twice or thrice for drunkenness in the
local police courts, he is sentenced to
wear a brass collar, which is plain
tip to saloon-keepers that he is per-
son to whom it is forbidden to sell
any intoxicating beverages. No man
with this badge Of disgrace can get a
drink anywhere, for the law is strict
Iy respected The result is that in
many cases an entire cure is effected
in the individual. Whenever the au-
thoritles think that the collar penalty
has been endured long enough the col
lar comes off and the citizen Is at lib
erty to get drink"
