EVARTSLANA.
SOME OF THE GOOD STORIES CURRENT
IN WASHINGTON.

Washington March CspeciaD.-The death this
week of William NJ. Evarts has revived among his
friends and former colleagues in the Senate the
memory of many an anecdote of which he was
either the hero or the good-natured victim ana
many bon mot" of his which had its setting in
the social and official life at capital. Here are
a few of them:
When Mr. Evarts entered the field of sarcasm his
speech was not composed of sentences as long as
the moral law; the contrary, they were short
sharp and incisve. In the Hayes administration
and for many years afterward, Washington was
visited at stated intervals by a German crank
De Ahua by name, who seemed possessed by the
idea that. a familiar phrase, the Worlu
owed him a living" The world in this instance
seemed to be the State Department
One day De Ahua succeeded in running the CANT
let of the watchmen and penetrating into the prt-
vate Office of the Secretary of State. He ended a
long harangue by stating: Well. must have some
employment. My family is in a pad condition
am boor-so boor 5 Jobs duckey Und we will be
burned out Of the house if l don't get something to
do Und l deserve it at the hands of this govern
ment GONE over here TO fight for it, und now it
must dake gare of me when I in distress.
At times De Ahua spoke English iuently and
without any perceptible German accent, but
In a while, even in the middle of sentence. he
traction was betrayed by his manner OF speech
This always amused Mr.. Evarts, and he didn't
seem averse occasionally 10 bother poor De Ahu2-
30 to the foregoing declaration he replied: This
is not a paternal government some of you good
people naturalized citizens seem to believe II mas
no children take care of. except those who Were
disabled in the course Of the war but II has many
it. l don't how can help you"
De Ahua was urgent, and really beneved 1t was
care of him and his family. There are politicians
and partner strikers the country over who believe
their party whichever II may be, should take care

THE CRIMINAL COURTS.
The United States assumed general jurisdiction
over Cuba on January 1, 1889. Special effort was
made to improve both the personnel and the meth
ods of Cuban courts If there any abuses in
the Spanish judicial system which prevailed prior
to the American occupation. those abuses have
been swept away.
When General Brooke arrived in Cuba he was
directed by the President to continue IN force the
civil and criminal code which prevailed prior to
the REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish sovereignty, and 10
modify and change il whenever il should be found
necessary in the interest of good government BY

BURGLARY NEAR Police ST4TIOy
BOLD ROBBERS BATTER DOWN SEVERAL,

DOOrNS. BUi AXE NUT MOI4ESTESD.
"A daring robbery occurred on the second floor
OF the building at No. 235 Nercer-st occupied bv
SIMON GaTbulsky, a manufacturer OF mems and
chidren's clothing, some time between $50 O'Clock
Friday night and 7:20 o'clock yesterday morning.
The thieves took away about $4,000 worth of loot
In order 10 get in the burglars had to raise n
heavy pair Of iron shutters and break the lock to
door behind this. Once inside the building three
additional doors had 20 be smashed open before
they were free to operate. Garbulsky's place IS
about two hundred feet from the Mercer-st police
station. and near the lights the rear entrance
to the Broadway Central Hotel
Mr. Garbulsky is a loss to know how such a
crime could be committed within a stones throw
of a police station, especially as there were so
many doors to be forced. The burglars went away
leaving the iron shutters up and the broken lock
exposed to view, yet the police had no informa-
tton about it until it reported to them. Mr.
Garbulsky says he thinks at least two wagons
must have been required to get the stuff away. As
il in numerous pieces he thinks il must have
taken considerable time.
This is the fourth time Mr. Gar5UIsky has been
robbed In two cases the thieves never dis
covered. In the other instance the elevator man
the building discovered George King emerging
from the premises with bundle OF goods. He
gave chase and although they right past the
police station no policeman appeared until the ele-
Vator man overlook the thief after chase of ten
blocks. This happened about a year ago.
