CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
Charlie Gune, n ChiRnman, Said to
Have stolen n Gold Chnin.

The police have Charlie Gune, China
man, said to be connected with the Chinese
restaurant, 314 Pennsylvania Avenue north
west, in custody, charged with larceny
from the person. He was arrested by De-
tectives Hartigan and McNamee last night
and later furnished bail in the sum of
$500 for his appearance in the Police Court
this morning. r
The charge against Gune was preferred
by A. l.. Robbins and w. P. Hutchinson
who allege that the prisoner took a gold
chain from Robbins while the latter was
in the restaurant named.
According to statements last night the
men entered the place yesterday and or
dered chop suey, directing that it be served
without onions. When prepared, il is
stated, the food contained onions. and after
a controversy the men were about 10 leave

the Mayor, or his successors, the Commits
sioners, to summon the jury and award
damages and benefits. 1t may also be
probable, Mr. Duvall states in his opinion,
that the Attorney held that there was no
legal successor to the Mayor. Contin-
uing, Mr.. Duvall states:
However this may be, in my opinion.
although the condemnation proceedings
may not have been authorized by law, yet
the District having paid the damages
awarded to the owners of property for
public alley, it thus acquired the property
in the alley for public alley purposes. This
would result, although the assessments
might prove uncollectable because OF want
of legal authority to impose them. The
area of the alley, thus paid for by the pub
lie authorities, and accepted by them, was
removed from the tax books and exempted
from taxation because 1t was a public alley.
The fact that the Force School building
encrcached upon the north branch Of the
alley. as condemned, while it might pre-
sent a case of improper occupation there
Of, could not interfere with or destroy the
public character OF that part of the alley
running east and west
81 am of the opinion that the order of
July 80, 1890, resembling and setting aside
the order opening the alley was improyi-
IDENTIFY passed, and should be revoked by
the Commissioners, and the Surveyor no.
tilted. This would leave the portion of the
alley running east and west, according to
the lines Of condemnation. "a public alley
which the Commissioners could improve"
Mr. Duvall states, further that any at
tempt to depart from the lines of the al
ley, as condemned, by contracting them,
! would only result in more confusion, and
it would leave open the question as to the
ownership of the portions within the lines
of condemnation and exterior TO the con-
tracted limits. The opinion is accompanied
by q number OF papers bearing on the ques-
| tion, and it is probable that the matter will
be brought to the attention of the Board
of Commissioners at their next meeting
for final dispositions as it has already been
annroyed hy them individually.

Not at all Sensitive.

There Is a handsome young woman
in Washington who had the mlsfor-
tune to fall down stairs a few years
ago, so badly fracturing one OF her
knees that the limb had to be ampu-
tated. The young woman, who walks
with the aid of crutches, is not in the
least sensitive about the matter One
afternoon last week she got into an +
street car, bound for the Hill, and
found herself in the seat with a sharp
eyed woman, who seemed to take q
whole lot of interest in her and her
crutches. She scrutinized the young
woman's face carefully for couple of
minutes, Then turned her attention to
the workmanship of the crutches,
which she took the liberty to handle
curiously. Then she looked the young
woman over again, and leaned over to
her. Dye mind tellin' me how you
lost your leg?" she asked, raspily.
Not in the least" responded the
young woman amiably, II lost 1t in
the battle of Gettysburg. Washing
ton Post.

Dewey's House.

The report that Admiral Dewey has
decided his house to his wife has
aroused an undercurrent of criticism
This is one of the disadvantages of be-
ing an idol-your ever act is subject
to review by the dear people. But, as
for Deweys house, it is mis-, and as
suredly ne has the right to do with it
as he pleases, give it to his Chinese
servant, to his secretary or anyone
else. He has that right incontestably.
But, as the house was given by the
Nation, so to speak, or the public, the
public is bound to have a say in how it
shall be disposed of.
Under ordinary circumstances it
would have been the most natural
thing in the world fer Dewey to have
left his house to his wife. But we
can hardly rid ourselves of the notion
that 1t was not quite the thing to do
in lis instance. We doubt very much
If it had been known that the Admiral
was going to marry a charming lady,
who is reputed to have a bank account
OF $5,OOO,0O0, that the house would
have been given him. 1t was chival-
rous in him to present this thank Of
fering to his bride, but we believe it
would have gone down" better with
the public had he not done so, willing
1t when he died so that the house or
the money derived from it's sale could
be applied to the use of officers of the
navy or their families, who for this
reason or that have not been smiled
upon by fortune. However, not hav-
