feet, of course, have been bound. She
inches thick and a tiny heel in the mid
die, and might as well be on stills,
for all the grace of movement she has.
Minister and Madame WI are the
most democratic of all the people who
have ever been in the legations in
Washington. Little madame likes to
mingle with the crowd at the state re-
ceptions, and escapes from the "crush
behind the line" Just as soon as pos

Where, in shy, girlish fashion, she
greets all who speak to her with a

Made WI likes Washington. She
comes and. goes as she pleases, unac-
companied most often, takes long rides
, in the trolley cars, although she has
half a dozen carriages, and she likes to
have the front seat beside the motor
man. She and the minister have
pleasant times going to the suburban
resorts. She loves the parks, and the
legation being near Dupont circle she
spends much Of her daylight time there
playing with the babies that tumble on
the grass. She has one son.
The minister and his wife entertain
magnifcent1y in cultured American
style, but of the inner life at the lega-

no women of her country about her.
She has an American woman as
companion but when she sees her it
is in the american part of the house.

Queen Victoria is kept ION ice' dur

queen is past 80, robust and hale, and
during all her long life has manifested

But it is in summer that ingenuity is

annoyance, and which is a fatal obiec-

fed, and it is believed that when the
humming is removed the fans will be

The curious tendency of,the queen to
seek comfort in cold is ascribed by
Psychologists to her immense vitality.
This This vitality shows little deterioration
despite her advanced years. The
queen sits in cold rooms in the even
ing attire prescribed by fashion
through long winter nights and seems
perfectly comfortable. She at no time
permits artificial heat in the room she
occupies, either as a dwelling or dur

WOMEN SEEK VINDICATION.
They Do Not Care to Rest Under the
Charge of Stealing Diamonds.

A rather interesting case occupied the
time of Justice Clark yesterday afternoon.
The State, on behalf OF Martha Myers
brought suit against Kate Haley and Belle
Mealin, sol East Washington street, for
malicious prosecution. The suit grew out
of the arrest Of the Myers woman and Car
RE Schwartz on Jan. 9 on a charge of
grand larceny. Mrs. Haley, who keeps a
rooming house, claimed to have lost two
diamonds and charged theft on the part of
Martha Myers and Carrie Schwartz, who
were rooming with her. man named
Sommers, it was claimed, was cleaning the
stones, and placed them in a sideboard,
after which they were seen no more. Som
mers could not be found for the trial in
Police Court, and the defendants were re-
leased and the case continued indefinitely,
awaiting the appearance of Sommers.
whose testimony was wanted. 1t was said
that he disappeared that night, and has
not been seen since.
The Myers woman sought the advice of
an attorney and the action was brought
in the Justices court for the purpose of re-
moving the odium Of a criminal charge
held against her. 1t is also claimed the
police judge had not the right to indefinite
ly continue the case.
The arguments in the case will be heard
this morning, and IL is probable that If a
finding is made in favor of the State a
civil suit for damages will be filed at once.

THE FIRE RECORD.
Mrs. Mary Buckner's Bad Luck-TwO
Other Small Fires.

Mrs. Mary. Buckner. colored. living in the
rear OF 775 Center street, was unfortunate
in having her house catch fire early Tues
day night and again early yesterday morn
ing, resulting in a total destruction of her
effects. The fire in the evening was caused
by the breaking Of lamp, and the fire in
the morning was caused, it was thought
by embers which were left burning. A
white boy in the neighborhood started a
subscription paper in the womans behalf
but secured only $3.50.
An alarm from Box IS and a report that
Kingan's penthouse was on fire, about s
o'clock last night, caused considerable ac-
tivity and excitement. A small fire in the
smokehouse, which was easily put out, was
the cause of the alarm being turned In.
An overheated stove in rooms occupied
by George Harmon, over $40 East Wash
ington street, caused a loss of $50 late last
night. The fire was discovered by c. NJ
Kingsbury. a Merchant policeman, who
gave the alarm.

UNPLEASANT WEATHER.
The Streets in Bad Condition-Street
Cars Interfered with.

The unpleasant weather of yesterday,
while 1t caused many persons to fume with
rage because their feet slipped on the icy
walks also caused others to laugh hysteri-
cally at the struggling forms on the pave
ment. The soft snow, which had fallen
during Tuesday night, was turned into a
SOFT icy slush during the day. and. with g
constant drizzle of rain, 1t made walking
very disagreeable. The ice coated the troll
lev wires and the street car company had
difficulty in operating its cars. The same
condition was the means of delaying all
the trains in the forenoon. The only seri-
sidewalks was that of Mrs. Elizabeth
Austin who fell at the corner OF Ohio and
West streets, Tuesday night, and broke
her leg.
