AS soon as the trim military figure of

DISAPPEARANCE OF
CHAS. M. NEWH0IJSE.
PROMINENT YOUNG VIRGINIAN.
Last Seen by Friend in baltimore
When Returning Home From
Evening at the Theatre on
Christmas Eve.

CULPEPER, Va, Jan. mo trace has
yet been found Of Mr.. Charles II. New
house. the young cattle dealer of Rixey
Vile, Culpeper County. Va. who disap-
peared some time after midnight of
Christmas Eve in Baltimore, Md.
Mr. Newhouse left Culpeper on the 2Sd
of last month, and proceeded to Baltimore,
where he consummated large sale of
cattle. After registering at the Howard
House, of that city, and after he had fin
ished his business, he, IN company with
James NJ Lewis, decided to go to down
town theatre, in company with Mr.. Nathan
Afelder. a Baltimorean. with whom Mr..
Newhouse had become acquainted on sew
eral visits TO the city.
Promised to Meet mt Hotel,
After the show Mr.. Lewis parted with
the other two and promised to meet Mr..
Newhouse at the hotel in a short time.
The friends then proceeded on toward the
Howard House. When they arrived within
about hall a square of the hotel they
parted, MFR. Affelder remaining on the car
and continuing on his way home. This is
the last time that AIr. Newhouse was
seen.
S. NJ Newhouse. father of the young
man, went TO Baltimore last Monday,
where he intends to stay until the mys-
terry is cleared up. He is sure that his
son has met with foul play from the
fact that he had a large sum of money
upon his person the proceeds from the
sale OF the cattle.
Captain Pumphrey'S Opinion.
The young mans disappearance has
been reported TO the captain OF the detec-
tive department OF Baltimore. who thinks
that the man is either on pleasure trip
or has committed suicide by drowning.
The young man comes from one of the
best families OF the Old Dominion. His
father is a member OF he House of Dele
gates of Virginia, am! Congressman j. F.
Rixey is his cousin Mrs. Newhouse, it is
said was a Miss R1xev a relative OF DR..
Rixey, President McKiuiey's physician.

MRS. DENNIS is WORSE.
Physicians Now Report symptoms of
Paralysis.

Mrs Ada Gilbert Dennis, who was mys-
teriously assaulted, was reported last
night as slightly worse. Her physicians
report symptoms of paralysis.
Yesterday the treatment of saline So
luton was resorted 10 for q second time.
The effect was not so great as formerly,
when Mrs. Dennis rallied materially. and
was able to recognize those about her
bedside. On tine saline solution being ap-
piled yesterday, there was only a culver
of the eyelids. and some slight movement,
especially of the muscles of the head,
neck. and arms.
Among the visitors yesterday at Gar
field Hospital was Mrs. Kate Dunn. sister
Of Mrs. Dennis. She saw her sister, but
could not speak 10 her. Detectives Horne.
Helan. Hartigan, and McNamee were also
al the hospital most Of the day.
One thing the detectives are trying 10
learn is why and when Mrs. Dennis took
the name of Gilbert. The detectives seem
10 think it odd that Mrs. Dennis should
assume that name. seemingly without
cause, although it is said she has borne
the cognomen fer many years.

THE PRESIDENT APPEARS.
Gives an Impromptn Reception in
the Blue Room.

As the hour of II o'clock ap-
preached the eyes of nearly every one in
the Blue Parlor inyoluntarily turned to-
ward the handsome timepiece on the
great mantel. Every ear was strained
for the first note of the fanfare of bugles
which would announce the coming of the
President and the receiving party.
Eyes shifted again TO the broad stair
way, at the top of which President Rocse-
welt and Mrs. Roosevelt appeared just On
the stroke of the hour.

to the conclusion, after a years some
what hard experience, that the District
ash removal service comes far short OF
what ii promised to be when 1t was in
augurated. He declares that the con-
tractor or his minions change the regu-
laticns at will, without regard TO the con-
venience or welfare of the householders.
The correspondent conceals his name
under the modest title of "A Small Tax

especially in localities where there are
no alleys.
The next order received was that all

would be received unless placed therein.
Well, metal cans were procured by all
who wished 10 continue the service and
had the interest Of the service at heart.

Mrs. Knox was the only one of the Ia

ARMY AND NAVY PAY RESPECTS.
General Miles, and ADMIRAL Dewey's
Reception by the President.

General Miles. in his glittering uniform
headed the army contingent. They fol-
lowed after the members OF Congress and
the judicial officers of the District of Co.
luIcbia.
Among those wko fingered about the
flower decorated parlors there was not
little interest in observing the meeting
between the Preside ntsand the Lieutenant
General. IN view of the severe reprimand
administered to the Commanding General
recently at the dictation and command OF
the President.
AS the Commard ding General approached
Mr.. Roosevelt held out his hand, which
General Miles grasped. Eoth men bowed
rather coldly The greeting was nothing
more than formal. II was what might
have been expected between the Executive
and second iicutenari who had Just re-
ceiyed his comEission5 and was wearing
his uniform for the first time.
General Miles did not give the President
