ARTISTIC MERIT AND BEAUTY.
Beautiful Display of Siiverware at
Gait & Bros Store.


In the matter of artistic merit and beauty
of workmanship collection of silver ware
on exhibition at Gait G. Bros store on
Pennsylvania avenue certainly equals. if 1t
does not excel, anything of the sort ever
seen in this country. 1t should be seen TO
be thoroughly appreciated. There are more
than a score of larger pieces tea sets,
vases, pitchers and the like. as we'll as
many smaller articles of use and beauty all
of what is known to silversmiths As the
French gray finish. This finish is a species
of Oxydation, though the effect is entirely
different from that of ordinary oXidized
silver. softer and far more pleasing to the
eye.
At the Paris ard Chicago expositions
American SilVt"SmithS carried off the hon
ors in almost every class except that rep
resented in this collection at Cats, but re-
Gently they have been devCting more at
tention to this sort of work and their
efforts have met with wonderful success
All these pieces might we'll be called artists
proofs, for they are made from artists de-
signs and the silversmith deVotes as much
skill and care to their execution as does
an etCher to MS plate. There is not a bit
of machine work about the pieces. the re
suit being that each has al individuality OF
It's own and duplicates are out Of the ques-
ton. One IF the larger vases cost over
500 to make, most of which sum went for
labor alone, Perhaps the gem of the lot
is Il tea set If five pieces, with fieur de lis
decoration. Each piece is hammered and
chiselled from a single piece of silver. y
large pitcher che lines of which are most
artistic and graceful, is embossed with the
iris flower. Another has pond lilies tWining
around il, while nothing could be more
pleasing than slender vase decorated with
PoPpes. A we'll known and very wealthy
New York woman said day or two ago
that she had seen nothing in New York to
compare with this collection.

ACTRESS PARALYZED.
Hiss Kate Davis Stricken and Now
Seriously Ill.

Miss Kate Davis an actress, who was to
have played in "A Chinese Romance" at
the Lafayette Square Theater this week,
suffered a stroke of paralysis last night in
her room in the Hotel Regent. When found
she was in an unconscious condition.
Miss Davis attended a rehearsal at the
theater yesterday afternoon and was in the
best of health and spirits when she returned
TO the hotel at ) o'clock. 1t was not until
a few minutes before the time for the cur
tain to rise that her absence from her
dressing room was noticed. A messenger
was sent to her room at the hotel and when
the door was found to be locked an en-
trance was gained by climbing through the
transom. Although Miss Davis was unable
to speak she was taken to the theater in
the cab. 1t was believed that she would
recover in time to participate in the play
but when Dr.. Magruder called and saw that
she had suffered a stroke of paralysis the
patient was removed to Providence Hos
pital.
This morning at the hospital it was stated
that the patient was doing as well as could
be expected, although her condition is Sc

Justice Barnard, in Equity Court No =,
today announced his decision in the case Of
Dennis Fitzgerald against Maurice O'Leary,
which the court has had under considera-
ton for some time past. The bin of COM
plant was filed to secure an injunction TO
prohibit OLeary from conducting a bar
room at IA G street on the grounds that the
place was within 400 feet of the Gales
school building: that the excise board had
Illegally granted bar room license to
o Leary and that the establishment of the
place would constitute a public and a pri-
Vate nuisance. The case was argued fully
Justice Barnard denied the application for
injunction and held that the jurisdiction of
the excise board was final and conclusive
and that the board was the sole judge of
how measurements Of distance In such
cases should be made. Attorneys E. H
Thomas and Alexander H. Bell appeared
for O Leary, while Attorneys Wilson and

cations point to the new links rapidly be-
coming one of the most popular golf CEN
ters in the south. In their new location
the members of the club will have the use
not only of the 1870 acres of splendidly lying
golf land, but will also have the use of the
old Marshall Brown house. which is on the
place and which can be readily put to club
uses. Work is being commenced at once
In laying off the new grounds. which will
be done under the direction of Tucker, the
well-known professional.

ton was submitted to the club and was
adopted with some few amendments. The
membership under the new plan is limit ed
to 800, the initiating fee is raised to $40,

KEEPS UP ITS PACE.
Unprecedented Volume of Business
for This Season of the Year
Is Reported.

New York, Sept. 16-Bradstreet's says:
| With comparatively little stock or other
speculative activity, and with few strong
| ly new features presenting themselves, the
general business of the country goes for
ward at a good pace and in unprecedented
| volume for this period of the year. Fall
trade activity would appear to be at its
maximum, judging from advices Of activity
and strength of demand reported alike
from western and eastern markets and
shared in also by most South Atlantic
and interior southern cities Yellow fever
at some southern points, resulting in quar-
antine regulations, has tended to restrict
business at a few markets, notably New
| Orleans, while unfavorable crop and
weather conditions limit business at Gal
weston Iron and steel are quiet, but very
strong at the east Blast furnace reports
show that current consumption and pro-
duction are not far apart, but production
fails to show the expansion looked for, and
while current work is at the rate of IA, 000,-
600 tons per year estimates of the year
production do not run mucn beyond l3.5OO,-
900 tons. The notable strength of cereals
this week is shown in corn, where paucity
of old supplies leads to the rumor of Sep

r. G. Dun & Co.. in their weekly review

the record of August commerce shows the
relation of United States business to that
of other countries. Exports were $20,0S2,
SIS larger than ever before in August and
exceeded imports by $S7, 929, 699. partly be-
cause exports of staples were 1886 rs
larger than last year. but also because ex-

Western Capitalist, Manufact-

Among the leaders of the progressive

famous, Mr.. John C. Hubinger. of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without peer. AS
a manufacturer. as an enterprising cap
italist and as a philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind. for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity Is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
BY inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course Of
time he became the head of a concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made a

The PRICE OF PEACE.
Inducements offered AguinsIdo TO
Lay Down Arms Were
Released.

New York, Sept. 16.-A special to the
World from Ithaca, y. Y, says: Your
correspondent is able to say on author
ity that the Schurman peace commits
sion offered every possible inducement
short of absolute self-government to
Aguinaldo and his followers. Aguinaldo
was promised, as a price for the res
toration of peace in the Tagalos tribe,
bonus of more than $1,000 year
while the Tagalos remained peaceful.
He was told that he could choose men
from his tribe for the minor municipal
offices.
The commission went so far as to
promise Aguinaldo the moral support of
the United States government. If such
were needed to make his leadership of
the Tagalos thoroughly secure.
With all these inducements, tempt
ing as they must have been, Aguinaldo,
as the recognized head of the insurg-
ent movement, declined to yield. He
insisted upon immediate self-govern-
ment, and, as his insistence was so firm
as to make an agreement impossible,
the American commissioners ceased ne
gotiations.
President Schurman was frank in
telling your correspondent day or so
ago that he favored giving to the va
rious tribes the largest possible meas
ure of home rule at the earliest mo-
ment. He thought the several tribes

north of here, Wednesday night. Mrs.
Maggie Majors, of Los Angeles; Mrs.
Ross. her mother, and Mrs. Larue were

Keller were seriously injured. The
cause of the wreck is said to be due to
the carelessness of the Porterville train
crew, which permitted the train to &C.
