ON SUSPICION.
Two Men Arrested and Held Pending
Investigation.

Daniel Holman and John King, colored.
twenty and twenty-one years old, respect
lively, are held at the sixth precinct police
station on a charge of suspicion and will
probably be taken into the Police Court to-
morrow, when the charge will be changed
to vagrancy against each of them, with an
additional charge of carrying concealed
weapon against King.
The men were arrested by Policeman Lee
near the corner Of 9Th street and Pennsyl-
yania avenue northwest before daylight this
morning The officer noticed the men act
ing in a supicious manner near the corner
and when he started toward them they took
to their heels and ran, being overtaken and
placed under arrest. When searched at the
station house razor and an eighteen-karat
gold hunting-case watch were found in the
possession of King.
The men said that they had been employ
ed as walters at a hotel in Florida and
were seeking employment. They told the
officers that they had stopped at Richmond
for several days while en- route to this city
The police have wired description Of the
watch to the officials at Richmond making
inquiries as to whether a timepiece of that
description has been reported missing at
that place.

CONDITION IMPROVES.
Benson Allen Believed to Be Recover
ing From Effetsc Of Injuries.

Benson Allen, the seventeen-year-old
youth who is in serious condition at the
Garfield Hospital as the result of having
been struck on the head with base ball
bat by an unknown colored man Monday
afternoon, was reported to be slightly bet
ter this afternoon, and hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery.
Two arrests were made in the case today,
but the suspects each proved an alibi and
were released from custody.
William Stewart, colored. twenty years
of age, who was taken into custody at
Alexandria for the local authorities, re-
turned here with Detectives Weldon and
Lacy, and after having an interview with
Capt Boardman convinced that official that
he knew nothing Of the affair, and was re-
leased.
Ernest Henderson, colored. eighteen years
old. who was arrested by the police of the
eighth precinct, was also released after
making statement to the officers. Hen
derson is employed as an assistant to a
janitor in one of the public schools, and he
produced witnesses who were able to give
an account Of his movements about the
time that the assault was committed.

CHARM OF CALCUTTA.
Where Inhabitants Still Worship the
Goddess Kali.


From Golfers Weekly.
The charm of Calcutta works slowly, and,
apart from Government House and it's gar
den, there is nothing which at once rush
ing in as certain atmOspheres do, fills the
Imagination, and there is nothing which,
by enchanting grace or romantic history, at
once stirs the mind. But the charm is the
more enduring, perhaps. because 1t is SO
slow, so unassertive. so uncommon. Cal
cutta, in fact, may be compared with the
subtle women of history whose portraits
in state galleries leave n4-wondering how
they altered the fates of empires and con-
sumed the hearts of men. Its founder, Job
Charnock was, we are told mot a beauti-
full person; he was block of rough-hewn
British manhood, always a faithful man
to the East India Company"
In the year 1690-more than one hundred
and sixty years after the Portuguese had
first cast anchor in the Hooghly-Char-
mock. with thirty sullen followers, who con-
fused the very name of the place with Col
gotha, climbed the eastern banks to the
three ruined mud huts which made up the
cotton-thread bazaar of Sutaneti. It's
swampy land slopes away into a forest
path which led to the shrine of Kali-Kai.
the indef1nable and obscene goddess Of de-
stfuction, with a black face, three eyes
(symbolizing the present, the past and the
future); a long gilt tongue hanging out
Of her mouth; four arms; her clothing a
garland of mems skulls
The forest path has been cleared away,
the jungle and the marshes are now built
upon. but Kali is still worshiped; goats
and kids are sacrificed to her daily; men
and women Frustrated on the ground wor-
ship her till the priest closes the door of
her temple each night. 1t is almost i'm
possible to discover just what Is felt about,
and feared. and. it may be. loved in Kali
She is there, and she remains, with her his
tory and her secrets and her power eter-
nally mysterious, eternally battling, world
Of symbols to the metaphysician, a menace
to the ignorant, reality to the despairing.

THE NUMBERS Z
HERE
ARRIVAL OF THE MONETARY
COMMISSION.
Messrs. Hanna, copfnt and jerks Will
Confer WITH the Secretary
Of State.

Members of the nen8tary commission, ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt to go
abroad In order te-piomote the adoption by
the great nations Of the world OF some
ratio between gold and silver in erecting
exchanges between gold and silver-uslne
countries. arrived here today. Mr. Hugh
Henry Hanna, Mr.. Charles A. Cenant ana
Prof. jeremiah w. jerks constitute this
commission.
Mr.. Conant arrived here this morning
from New York, and Mr.. Hanna came
from Indianapolis this afternoon. After
conference among members Of the commits
sion this afternoon or tomorrow they Will
confer with the Secretary of State.
This is the first meeting of the members
of the commission since It was appolnteo.
and much is yet to be done before they
leave to go abroad on their mission
The work of the commission viii natu-
rally be largely in the nature or sounding
opinion abroad looking toward the adop-
ton of some plan that will make more Sc
cure the effecting of exchange between goio
and silver-using countries on basis
equitable to both and of a kind that Will
facilitate trade. According to present con-
ditions a manufacturer in a gold-usinS
country sells a bill of goods to merchant
| in a silver-using country, providing Tor a
payment at a future time. This time ID
frequently six months and often year
Whether the payment Is to be made IN
gold silver 1t is impossible to foresee
what the exchange will be. If the payment
is to be made in gold, the merchant selling
the goods for silver is uncertain whether
the exchange will make his profit disappear
or increase it. If the payment Is to be in
silver, the same problem confronts the
manufacturer. The result of these condi-
tons is that the manufacturer and the mer-
chant must allow in their trade for possible
losses. 1t hampers trade to that extent
The commission will seek to devise some
plan by which steadiness can be introduced
in the relations between the value Of gold
and silver. 1t has been understood that
nothing in the work of the commission Will
have any bearing on the money question
beyond that indicated above.
No time has yet been determined upon for
the commission to go abroad. At the last
session of Congress $4,000 was appropri-
ated for the expenses of the commission.
DR.. White Declined.
Andrew D. White, former ambassador to
Germany, who was offered place as one
of the commission representing the United
States, writing from Ajaccio, Corsica, has
announced to Secretary Hay that owing to
considerations of health and pressing prt-
vate business affairs he is unable to accept
