The present fashion in vogue among
men Of wearing the face smooth has
given rise to many embarrassing sit
uati0ns. \ new member of Congress
from the Southwest who not only
wears no beard, but in common with
moss Of his colleagues in that part OF

was an unwilling actor in an amusing
episode the other day about which it
is doubtful if he ever hears the last.
One of the most noted flower mer-
chants in town is a venerable, little old
woman, with eyes as bright as a squir-

GULLTBLE STRANGERS.


The officials of the National Museum
are still annoyed by constant inquiries
from gullible strangers concerning the
mammoth said to be on exhibition
there, which exists only in the imagi-
nation of the writer of story in a
popular magazine. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the museum will soon come
into possession of giant dinosaur,
which will be mounted and exhibited
there. This valuable specimen was
found by the party headed by Profess
sOr Charles Schuchert, assistant cura-
tor of photographic paleontolOgy in
the museum, and made up of scientific
men from museums and universities in
all parts of the country. This expedi-
ton, one of the largest that ever un-
dertook similar Investigations, went
into the fossil regions of Wyoming last
spring in search of the bones of pre-
historic monsters. Their work was
attended by many hardships and much
danger, but nothing deferred them
from following 'bone lead,' and they
were rewarded by six carloads of val
liable matter, the largest part of the
collection being composed of the skel-
etons Of animals of the dinOsaur group,
although a number Of new specimens
of invertebrates were also secured.
AN INTERNATIONAL WEDDING.
There will be a grand wedding at
the British Embassy in Washington
this winter, when the third daughter of
Lord and Lady PauncefOte becomes the
bride OF Robert Bromley, the present
honorary attache of the Embassy. 1t
will probably be the closing important
social event Of Lord Pauncefote's stay
at the American capital, for he has
already passed the diplomatic retiring
age, and is to return to England in the
early spring. He has been at the head
OF the British Mission in Washington
for more than a dozen years now, and
all four of his daughters, except the
eldest, who had been received at Court
and spent one season in London before
the family came here were INTRODUCED
into society III Washington.

VENEZUELA'S S MINISTER.

TheN apartment Of State has re-
ceived many inquiries recently as to
the present status of the Venezuelan
Legation at this capital, which is pre-
sided over by SenOr Andrade, brother
Of the former President of Venezuela,
whose Government is OverthrOwn and
who is a fugitive. Minister Andrade
is at present in Paris, and the affairs
of the Legation are in the competent
hands of his first secretary, Senor Pu-
lido, whose status is still unchanged
and will remain SO until the de facto
Government is firmly established be-
yond the probability of an overthrow
and it accredits new representatives to
the United States. SenOr Andrade, who
has served here for nearly six years,
is a man of ability, a trained and
shrewd diplomatist, and his many
friends here. both in official and social
circles, would much regret his recall.

MALOLOS EVACUATED.
American Flag Now Flies Over Aguinal-

A Manila special says: The Ameri-
can flag was raised over Malolos at 10
o'clock Friday morning. The Kansas
regiment and the Montana regiment,
OH entering the city, found it practical
ly deserted.
1t is evident that the rebels for some
time past had abandoned all hope of
holding their capital, for the Ameri-
cans found there evidences OF elabo.

The principal citizens of Mklolos,

taken into the country over the railroad,
while others departed on foot, carry

down by some meI of the Montana
regiment who triumphantly raised
their own above it.
From the columns of smoke arising
from the city it seemed as If the whole
place was ablaze. 1t turned out, how
ever, that only the presidencia or
government building, and few of the
smaller buildings, had been set on fire
by the rebels before they evacuated
the place.
From tho reports gathered by the
American officers, from prisoners and
others, it is believed that the rebel
army is constantly losing strength on
account of desertions, and that al
though the enemy may make one or
two more stands, the forces of Agui-
naldo will degenerate, in perhaps q
month, to few hundred who may
continue waging only guerilla war

At Troy, Alabama.

Two White Mon and Negro Are Hanged
At Troy, Alabama.
Richard Hale and Thomas Johnson,
white men, and Sam Rives, colored, were
hanged at Troy, Ala, Friday for the
brutal murder of Mrs. Ira Meyers, an
aged woman, and her daughter.in- law,
Mrs. f. Meyers, whom they killed and
attempted to burn at Josie, in Decem-
Der last. Robbery was the incentive
for the deed. A plot Matched by the
prisoners to escape from jail Thursday
night was frustrated.
Every effort was made by the law
yers and friends Of the prisoners to
have the governor interfere. 1t was
thought that he might commute the
sentence of Sam Rivers, the negro,
who turned states evidence and on
whose testimony the white men were
mainly convicted, but the facts did
not warrant even that much on the
part of the chief executive.

CANDY FOR THE ARMY.

AIger Authorizes Supply OF Sweetmeats
to BE Kept on Hand.
Before the departure of Secretary
Alger from Washington, he approved
a circular authorizing candies in half
pound packages to be kept on hand
for sale as staples to officers and en-
listed men of the army.
This is similar to action taken in
European armies, based on recent dis
coveries as to the food value of sugar.
