Street Lamps.

Thomas ]. Fisher. the inspector of street
lighting, has called to the attention OF the
electrical department and the District Com
missioners the condition of affairs existing
on naphtha lamp route No. Z, in Southwest
WASHINGTON.
..It seems" says Fisher, that on Sth
street between H and K streets 1t Is al
most impossible to keep glass in lanterns,
the same being broken out as fast as re-
placed: also the lamps in the alleys be-
tween + and G and Az and 9th streets and
G and H and Az and 9Th streets. The lamp
in Central alley, between F and and 4a
and 9th streets. has been the cause of a
great deal of complaint. 1t appears abso-
lutely impossible to keep glass In this lam
tern, and on several occasions the lamp
lighter, while attending to this particular
lamp, has been stoned by white boys living
in this vicinity"
The matter has been referred to the po-
lice department for whatever action it may
deem expedient for the protection of the
lamps and the lamplighter.

Artists, writers and musicians at Ber-
line have formed a mems dress reform
club, of which Herman Widmer, the
painter, is president. The object Of
the club is to devise and popularize a
dress for men which, while being
equally comfortable, will be more ar
tistic than that now worn in everyday
life. The committee appointed for this
purpose has submitted designs of a
new dress. which lave been approved.
The short coat or jacket is a modified
form of the uniform by a Hussar regi-
ment of Germany. 1t is tight at the
waist and indicates the graceful curve
of the spinal column by braids IN the
back. The trousers are also tight-tit-
ting, loosening somewhat below the
knee, and have buttons on the sides Of
the legs. The waistcoati is likewise a
reminder of the military style and
| shows off to great advantage the nan
ly chest of the wearer. These gar
ments are to be manufactured of gay
| colored cloths, varied in tones, the
| idea being to give the portrait paint
ers a relief from the dull monotony Of
the present colors. The club has
written to artists all over Europe So

gave no interview, but refused again

publication, for the eason that Nc
Kinley had done me such injury as
it would be better to say nothing 1t
this time. Notwithstanding these
facts, the newspaper reporters have
manufactured a story for the occasion,
and the administration papers are
making all they can out of it.
"As to the crime of Czolgosz, | hard
ly think it necessary to say that |, like
yourself, abhor an assassin. am as
much appalled, at the crime which
struck down President Mckinley as
any one of his warmest friends. !
don't think that any one who knows
me would for a moment believe that

an act of this kind, when, as you say,
it strikes down the government itself
and affects every citizen therein. Our
list of murdered presidents has been
far, far too great and some drastic
law should be passed to prevent an
other national tragedy like that enact
ed at Buffalo.

During a fire at Wellington a sick
man, Amos Botkin, rushed into a
building and by the exercise of sheer
strength, says the Kansas City Jour
nal, tore a milk separator weighing
225 pounds from the three-inch screws
which fastened it to the floor and Their
carried the separator out into the
street as though it weighed no more
than a pillow. But, speaking of I'M
suspected reserve in strength. To-
peka supplies an even better example
than this at Wellington. A family
were moving their lares and penates
from one house to another. The hus-
band. while carrying one end of a pi-
ano gave way beneath the weight and
sunk to the floor in such a manner
that the piano rested on his legs.
When his little wife, who has to stand
up twice in order to make a shadow.
saw the predicament she rushed across
the room and picked up that piano
and held it until her lord and master
could crawl out.

AT kEMMERER

Thursday evening a young mar
stepped into LADDERS drug store and
purchased sixty grains of morphine
says the Kemmerer Camera. He went
down to the Klondike saloon and took
about thirty grains.
The bartender in the saloon took
what remained in the bottle into DR.
Lovejoy and inquired what it was The
doctor told him that it wah morphine
He then told the doctor that a young
man had taken what was gone from
the bottle. When the doctor reached
the boy. he had gone a good ways on
the short cut" He was dead to the
world. The doctor pried open his
mouth and had the boys shake him and
roll him around until he grew sick and
nature then threw off the poison.
The young man grew disponden'
from various causes and concluded he
would rather escape the trials of a ma
ture life, by taking a short route to the
grave.
