LATEST OF KINGS.
Leopold said to Hold the Record. Milan

Being One of the Has Beens.
Ex-King Milan OF Servia has been
called the LATEST of all the royalties
merely because he is never afoot be-
fore IL O'Clock. When he rises he goes
at once, half-dressed, to solid lunch
OF heavy meats, puddings and wines.
After luncheon he smokes a couple of
strong cigars; then, if there is nothing
pressing to be done. he goes back to
bed and either reads or goes to sleep
as the fancy takes him. At o'clock he
Is up again, and usually goes out in
search of amusement. He is seldom.
back at the palace until dawn, when
he tumbles dnto bed. But whoever
calls Milan lazy man never heard of
the one hunting expedition of the king
OF the Belgians. He wanted to have
the sensation Of killing without going
in search Of his game. So he sat in his
armchair and potted at a lot of rab-
bits let loose from bag in front OF
him. When the smoke cleared away
and he called for his bag he had to be
told that all that had been found was
OF fluff. He never went shooting again
The czar occasionally aids at ba.-
tue, but the thing bores him and he
goes only out of politeness. The prince
OF Wales is good shot, and is fond of
shooting. but his big-game days are
over. The emperor Of Germany hunts
and shoots great deal, but those who
know him best say he does not care
much for the sport. With him it is a
matter of tradition-the right thing for
a royal parsonage to do. The king Of
Portugal, who holds the record of fat
ness among the royalties, Is debarred
physically from such violent exercise
The king of Sweden never touches i
gun. The sultan of Turkey cannot bea-
to see one. The king of Italy is the
only real representative of the old
kingly tradition. He is mighty hunt
CT, and frequently throws up all the
routine of work without a word of
warning and goes off with Col. Pizzim-
bolini to spend several weeks in pur
suit Of game of all kinds with which
the mountains abound. Formerly he
established no means of communica
tion with Rome. Neither Queen Bar
gherita nor any of his ministers ever
know where to find him for weeks at
time. He might have lost his throne
in sudden upheaval and known
nothing of it till he descended to the
plains. OF late, however, he has be-
come wiser. Now a carrier leaves
Rome every second day during his ex
petitions, bringing reports of all that
happens.-New York Press.

IN POLICE CIRCLES.
Orders Issued by Mai. Sylvester Re-
spectfng ORenses.

IN view of the recent decisions of the
judges Of the Police Court on the question
of rushing the growler,' Major Sylvester
advised the members Of the force that they
must not make arrests in such cases unless
there is an actual disorder. The decisions
were brought about in cases that were con-
tested by Attorney Campbell Darlington in
behalf Of number of working men who
had been arrested by the police. In one
case the men were apprehended on the
banks of the Eastern branch where, it was
argued, they could not have disturbed any
body. The others were arrested on the
commons.
In a circular just issued the police are ad-
vised Of the existence of law respecting
the manner in which some of the drivers OF
garbage carts are disregarding the regu-
latfons. Under the law the drivers are re-
quired to keep the lids of their carts closed.
and complaint has been made that many of
them drive through the streets with the lids
open. The officers are directed to arrest
every driver who Is found violating this
regulation.
Attention has also been called to the mat
ter of protecting vacant houses from dep
redators. who cut out lead pipe and cause
hundreds Of dollars damage in order to sell
the old material. The policemen are direct
ed to give their assistance in the matter.
1t is observed, however. that people who
look through houses sometimes leave door
or window open, and in this way boys are
tempted to enter and rob the houses.
Lieutenants and sergeants have been d.
rected to give more attention to cases of
children under arrest, who should be sent
to the house of detention. The officials are
also advised that the house of detention is
not place for violently insane persons, and
that such persons must not be sent there.
Members of the force were informed in
general order issued yesterday of the re-
tirement of Policeman Edward T. Farrar at
$50 a month. and William M. Darlington,
who will receive $40 as monthly pension.

EVENTS AT RIVERTON.
Many WashingtOnfans Find Recrea-
ton Mt Historic Town.


In the Shenandoah valley, noted for its
scenery and replete with historic associa-
tions is an interesting little town known
as Riverton. Va. The town is guarded by
the majestic Guard HILL" which was used
by the federal troops as a vantage point
for observation during the war.
Many Westinghouse have selected Riv-
erton as the scene of their outing this sum-
mer, and the temporary and permanent
residents have enthusiastically Joined in
making merry. The usual and more COM
monplace rural straw rides and boating
parties have been supplemented by unique
and odd entertainments, the latest being a
summer Christmas" held Saturday even
ing. the 25th instant
large fir tree growing in the yard Of 1.-The
Villa was handsomely decorated and heav-
lily laden with presents, about 400 in all.
This with the fairy lamps and Chinese Ian
terms which were strung about the lawn,
added brightness and color to the greenest
of green Yuletides. The children present
were delighted. and the year 1900 will go
down in their lives as the one year to which
year" IS inapplicable. The idea for this
originated with Mrs. Louis A. Dent wife
of the District register of wills, and to her
energy is due much of the success Of the
entertainment.
Among those present at 1.-The Villa were
Mr.. Louis A. Dent and Mrs. Dent, Eugene

TWO ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE.
Frances Powell and Hattie Williams
Try the Acid Plan.

Frances Powell, colored, twenty-five years
old, who lives in house in the rear of 11:s2
22d street, attempted to end her earthly ex-
istence last night by swallowing carbolic
acid. When the police went to the house
Frances was unconscious and it was be-
lieved she would die. The officers hurried
her to the Emergency Hospital. where the
doctors soon relieved her Of the poison.
Frances attempted suicide, it Is said, be-
cause male friend of hers had married
another girl. She was in love with the
man, and the news of his marriage made
her frantic. This morning she was out of
danger and expressed herself grateful
that the poison did not do the work in
tended.
Hattie Williams, another young colored
woman, made a similar attempt last night.
1t Is alleged that jealousy over the deser-
ton of one of her white friends prompted
the act in her case. She lives on 1872
street, and when she became convinced she
was going to lose her friend she also took
a dose of acid. AS in the other case the
sick woman was taken to the Emergency
Hospital and restored to her normal con-
dition.
