left New York several nights ago TO pay
a visit to some friends in this city. How
he came to be found lying on the lot in
an unconscious condition he could not ex-
plain.
The surgeons at the hospital last night
stated that DIR. Ritchie was suffering from
a stroke of apoplexy. but as he had re-
covered greatly during the day they knew

ATTACHED BY A SHERIFF
Property of Frank II. Riggs Seized
at Glen Echo.

Deputy Sheriff William ETnbrey, of
Montgomery County, on Saturday night
attached a cigar case. cigars, and a cash
register containing 81, the property of
Frank Il. Biggs, manager of the cafe at
Glen Echo, upon a writ sworn out by
Frank Shorty, an ice cream dealer OF 92S
Ninth Street northwest. In his pocket
the sheriff had warrants charging Bggs
with passing n worthless check and OBJ
tanning goods under false pretences.
These WoTe also sworn out by Storty.
Biggs was nowhere to be found and has
not appeared a Glen Echo since. accord
ing to the statement of the Maryland
authorities.
Shorty alleges tina. he has supplied
Bigss with ice cream regularly since June
u and that Biggs made occasional pay
ments on account but that he is now
out s5905
one warrant was sworn out, Shorty
says. on account Of a bad check for sI3 i5
on the Citizens National Bank. which he
received from Biggs on July 3. Storty
gave this 10 grocer in part payment of
a bill When the grocer reported the
check to be worthless. Shorty states he
went tc Bigss, who in turn. cold him the
matter had been arranged uy the deposit
Of fresh funds in the bank. This, Shorty
alleges, was untrue and that Bigss never
made the amount good
Further than this. Storty alleges that
on Thursday he sent his son to Glen Echo
with seXen gallons of ice cream with or
deTs to collect upon delivery. When his
son arrived there, Shorty claims, Biggs
took the ice cream but refused to paw
for IL. This resulted IN the warrant for
obtaining goods under false pretences.
Ii was supposed that Biggs returned
to Washington when lie learned trouble
vas brewing. Shorty made application 10

for 5iggs. but was unable TO secure them
at that hour. lie expressed the intention

Comforts of the stserare.

The prevailing idea of the steerage
of an ocean steamer Is a mass of un-
comfortable people, men, women and
babes, packed in as closely as they can
stand, cooking their own food, sleeping
wherever they can find a place to lie
down on the deck, and living like pigs
or other animals in a foul atmosphere.
That used to be the case, but on the
big, modern Atlantic liners the accom-
modations in the steerage are much
more comfortable and cleanly and
healthful than the people who occupy
them are accustomed to at home. Not
only legislation, but competition among
the different companies, has accom-
plished great reforms in this direc-
tion. The sanitary arrangements are
perfect. The methods Of artificial ven
tilation, by which foul air is forced out
and pure air is forced in, keeps them
clean and sweet, and methods of con
struction have been adopted so that
this can be done with a minimum Of
labor.
The hunks are made of iron piping,
the mattresses are Of woven bands of
iron, which yield to the body like ord
mary bedsprings; each passenger, in
stead Of bringing his own bedding, as
waO formerly the practice, is given a
sufficient number of clean BLANKETS
and pillow. There are bathrooms
and lavatory accommodations, which
are purified by well-known processes.
The sexes are separated; the men sleep
in one section and the women in an
other, and each sex has its own sep
arate accommodations.-Chicago Rec.

Not So Very Hard.

An old army surgeon who was fond
OF joke, If not perpetrated at his own
expense, was one day at a mess when
a wag remarked to the doctor, who had
been somewhat severe in his remarks
on the literary delinquencies Of some
of the officers appointed from civil
life: Doctor are you acquainted
with Captain G"
"Yes, l know him WELL" replied
the doctor. But what Of him?'
Nothing in particular" replied the
officer, II have just received a letter
from him, and wager you that
you cannot tell in Eve guesses how
he spells cat"
Done" said the doctor; tits
wager"
well, commence guessing" said
the officer.
"K-a-double-t."
"No."
"C-a-t-e."
"No, try again"
"K-a-t-e."
"No, you've missed it again"
"Well, then" returned the doctor,
"c-a--d --double-t"
$40, that's not the way; try once
more, it's your last guess"
"C-a-g-t."
mo" said the wag, "that's not the
way; you've lost the bet"
"Well," said the doctor, with some
petulance of manner, chow does he
spell ity'
"Why, he spells it cat" replied the
wag with the utmost gravity amid
the roars Of the mess; and, almost
choking with rage, the doctor sprang
to his feet, eXclaiming:
Gentlemen, l am too old to be
trifed with in this manner."-Chicago

Locust Porridge.

The every day life of a Basuto viii
lage is very simple affair when com
pared with the life of a British viii
lage. Take, for instance, the food
supply, Porridge is made of mealles,
and thickened and favored with sour
milk (mafD or herbs, and it is seldom
that Mosuto-BasutO in the singular
becomes MOsuto-cOmes to his meal
leaving his appetite behind him. An
other standard dish is locust porridge,
a plentiful supply being kept up by the
constant showers of locusts, which are
veritable godsends to the natives in
a country where food is very scarce.
The BasutO collect tons and tons Of
these insects, and carefully store them.
first pulling off the heads and wings.
AS occasion requires, they place guam
titles in large pots and boil them until
soft and pulpy, havoring the porridge
with fat, and making it savory with
salt. The locust to an unprejudiced
European Is not unpalatable, closely
resembling the shrimp in taste, though
scarcely so nice. Greatly as the Mo-
suto appreciates stewed locust, he likes
still better the young green make
stewed and served with melted butter,
and certainly not the most fastldious
could desire a more delicious food

Abandoned Trip.

The proposed transcontinental auto
mobile trip inaugurated by the Cleve-
land Plaindealer has been abandoned,
owing to the impossible feat Of drlv-
ing the machine through the sand
drifts Of the Sahara of America.
Everything went well until the desert
was reached, and although 1856 miles
were made through it, the last thirty
miles were impossible, and the ven.
ture was reluctantly given up.
