The CITY Lights.
HEAVY FOG PREVAILED.
City Enveloped in Misty Cloud for
Several Hours

One OF the thickest fogs this immediate
section Of the country has ever experienced
enveloped Washington last night and early
this morning. The atmosphere was as
clear as crystal about $50 pm, when
the deluge of rain had passed away. but
shortly afterwards the city was in the
folds of a thick, black and almost impene-
trabe mist
The fog was not of a great depth. SO to
speak, only enveloping the buildings of the
city. The light of the moon was trans
formed into white, diffused shadow.
The mist was apparently thickest from
about 10 until 10 o'clock last night. Be-
tween those hours the arc lamps of the
city looked like mere sparks, and the cleo
trio signs along Pennsylvania avenue could
not be read at 100 feet distance. Traffic was
greatlyhindered as a result of the heavy
fog, the motormen being compelled to oper-
ate their cars at rate of about three miles
an hour to avoid mshap. The fog was also
responsible for a number of collisions and
accidents between pedestrians and vehicles
The residence section Of the city suffered
greatly the gas lamps being practically Of

ABODE OF JOSEPHINE.
La Malmaison Restored and Presented
to French Nation.

Paris Letter in Pail Mall Gazette
La Malmaison.'' so full of the memories
Of Josephine and of Napoleon, has become
state property. The house was purchased
by wealthy merchant, M. Osiris, who,
after spending a great deal Of money upon
its restoration has presented it to the ma
ton. The authorities had some hesitation
in accepting the handsome gift, on the
ground that its maintenance entails ex-
penditure. and that its removal from Paris
| initiates against it becoming a popular
showplace. But happily, their scruples
will become museum Of Napoleonic relics
that Is If the wishes Of the donor are
complied with.
la Malmaison' was the elegant cage
that kept poor Josephine captive in the
years of her divorce. 1t was here that she
died IN 1874 on The morrow Of the entry of
the allies into Paris 1t was precisely a
drive that she took with the Emperor Alex
ander Of Russia, who had come to set the
Bourbons on the throne again. that gave
the unhappy princess chill from which she
died: Josephine thought to make Trianon
at La Malmaison;" she only succeeded in
making a comfortable house with nothing
very remarkable about 1t. Josephine held
something of a court at the chateau, and
she gave receptions which were very pop
ular with the great artistes Of Paris.
The most dramatic episode In the history
of La Malmaison" is the adieu of the en-
peror on the eve of his departure for St.
divides the house in two, he stood, grave
and silent, surrounded by his family
Madame Mere" was there, with tears run
ming down her cheeks. "Adieu, mon fils"
Adieu, ma mere That was all, and the
emperor turned away with never another
word, walking slowly into the garden and
down the avenue Of plane trees. At the
bottom he seated himself upon an old stone
bench. and there he remained, with his
head bent upon his breast, until darkness
had fallen. With silent gesture he sent
away every one who would arouse him from
his somber reverie
Napoleon III bought La Malmaison" for
ESQ. 900 out Of memory for his mother,
Queen Hortense, and of his grandmother,
the Empress Josephine, both Of whom lie
buried in the little church of Rueil, whose
soft chimes must often have fallen upon
the ear Of the great captain. His descend
ant thought to make a museum Of the
chateau and a couvenir, much as 1t is to-
day; but the idea did not fructify. and the
war and the commune came to put the
house In ruins. La Malmaison" figures
conspicuously In the defense of Paris. The
Prussians occupied the house, from which
the French tried to drive them. Now 1t has
come upon peaceful days. Unhappily for the
interesting project that would turn 1t into
a museum, all the furniture Is dispersed and
cannot be got together. One of the most
recent visitors to La Malmaison" was the
Empress Eugene. AS this august lady
gazed upon the cradle of Napoleonism she
burst into tears. 1t was a bereaved en-
press mourning the griefs Of another.

License for Lawyers.
I'M the Chicago Chronicle

From the Chicago Chronicle.
There seems to be wide divergence of
opinion among attorneys themselves as to
the legality OF the proposed ordnance COM
Polling lawyers to take out licenses In or
der to practice in the city of Chicago.
Alderman Sloan recently suggested such a
plan in the city council, and II received
some attention at that time. Some law
yers are of the opinion that the tax could
not be legally collected, and that the city
has TO power whatever to exact this of at
torneys. Others maintain that the city has
the right to make this demand, averring
that IL comes under the police power of the
state and the city would have as much
right to exact licenses of attorneys as 1t
would OF brokers, real estate men, butch
ers and merchants in general

Ostriches.
From tae Chicago Reeord-Herald.


Ostrlches are strictly homogeneous At
the age Of about four years they mate, and
after that they remain faithful to each
other till death do them part. AS their
average span of life is seventy years. their
domestic habits might well be taken as a
counsel of perfection by some human be-
ings. The female lays twice year there
being from twelve to fifteen eggs in each
three to four inches In diameter. and con-
tains about as much substance as thirty
hens eggs. 1t takes forty-two days and
nights to hatch brood, and the father
SITS through the nights and the mother
through the days. When matched the
chicks are tiger-striped and the size of a
common barnyard fowl. They grow at the
rate of six inches month untif the age Of
ME- or ten months when they are ready
foiShelr first plucking.
