ARMY INSPECTION OF

Captain Stevens Begins His Duties
With the District Militia.

Capt. G. W. S. Stevens. of the Artillery
Corps. stationed at Fort Washington,
recently chosen by General Chaffee, COM
manding the Department of the East, TO
inspect the brigade Of District of Co
lumbia National Guard, began his duties
last night.
The general staff and general non
commissioned staff of the brigade were
inspected at District of Columbia Ma
tional Guard headquarters at o'clock
Captain Stevens and Major C. H. GU
rand inspector general OF the local citi
zen soldiery, looked over the National
Guard.
The Fifth Battalion, under command
of Major r. D. Simms, was inspected at
the Center Market Armory after the
inspection at headquarters. A battalion
drill took place just before the inspec-
ton and altogether the showing made by
the battalion was a very creditable one.
The equipments and uniforms were in
excellent trim, and the inspectors OK
pressed themselves as being well pleased
with the showing made by the local sol
diers. Continuing until May 10 all OF
the other battalions and companies viii
be inspected.

DR.. Won Korber's Decoration.

Emperor Francis Joseph has just col
ferred the grand cross of the Order of st
Stephen upon Dr. Won Korber, the prime
minister of Austria, and one of the most
able statesman of the dual empire, in
recognition of the success of his efforts
in securing renewal of the commercial
and financial agreement between the
Austrian empire and the kingdom Of
Hungary The Order of st. Stephen is the
highest order in the land with the soli-
tary exception of the Golden Fleece,
which in Austria can by its statutes only
be conferred upon men VINO have an I'M
broken line OF blue bIooded and Roman
Catholic ancestors and ancestresses
both on the fathers and mothers side
for several generations back.
The grand cross of the Order of St.
Stephen is, however. almost as great a
distinction, and 1 cannot remember that
it has ever been granted to any man be-
longing by birth to the middle class such
as DR.. Korber. The latter has been a
civil servant all his life, and had &C
quired considerable fame as a successful
administrator when the Emperor himself,
who had his attention drawn to his work,
insisted on his being appointed minister
of commerce in the cabinet of Baron
Gautsch. He more than fulfilled the ex-
pectations of his sovereign at the head
of the department at which he was
placed, and in the following year became
minister of the interior.

The Field of Politics
Cleveland Remains Silent.

If Grover Cleveland is not a candi-
date for the Presidency, he failed to
take advantage of an opportunity which
was offered him to deny the report that
he seeks fourth nomination by the
Democratic party. At the climax of
the cordial reception given him during
his recent visit to st. Louis, and after he
had occasion to learn that he had been
named for President by the Brooklyn
Eagle" if. indeed, he did not know of
the intention before the article appeared,
he was silent upon this highly inter
esting subject.
Mr.. Cleveland broke an engagement 10
speak in Cincinnati. in order to attend
the banquet given by the management Of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to
the visiting and local newspaper men of
st. Louis, and deliver a speech. 1t would
have been easy for him in delivering the
sort of an address which he did. upon
such an occasion, and under the circum-
stances which existed to have declared
that he was not an aspirant for further
honors at the hands of his party or the
nation

TALK OF CLOSING
GROTTO OF LOURDES

PARIS, May 5.-The closing up of the
grotto at Lourdes, in connection with
the dispersal Of the congregations,
threatens TO result in severe financial
loss to that locality through the stop
page Of the pilgrimages- a delegation
from Lourdss which waited on Premier
Combes today was assured that the
grotto Will not be closed until the courts
have passed on the matter. This was
considered equivalent to a continuance
of the grotto- A disorderly crowd at
Nantes yesterday made a manifestation
at the trial of some friars there. De-
tachments OF cavalry occupied the
streets and many arrests were made.

The Evil Eye. "
Chicago Has a Problem in Occult In
fuences on It's Hands.

A curious remnant Of old-time
superstition has turned up in Chi
eago, IN the shape Of devout belief
IN a certain neighborhood that one Of
It's residents has ''the evil eye" The
woman herself AYERS that she has
never wished evil to anybody without
her wish coming true. She says that
not long ago a neighbours boy quar-
relied with her boy. and she looked at
him and made a wish" The next day
tie offending youngster met with an
accident, and soon after he died. The
principal OF one Of the schools ven
tured to punish this woman's son, and
lost his place The neighbors are all
afraid Of the ''hoodoo," and it would
appear that the possessor Of this mys-
terious power ought TO be having d
comfortable time
1t is not much more than half a
century since such story as this
would have been taken seriously, and
probably followed by half a dozen
similar cases of "eviI eye" in different
parts Of the country. At present it
is regarded rather as a curiosity III
human nature than as anything else.
However, ii must be somewhat I'M
pleasant for the neighbors who suffer
from the superstition, and some be
nevolent person ought to see what can
be done to set them free from their
enehantment of terror.

might take the matter up, and see
whether any demonstration can be
made Of the power of the person in
question. 1t might be risky, but one
ought to be willing to run some risk
in the cause of science. Perhaps a
way could be discovered by which the
spell could be reversed, and the pos

evil eye on her, as one search-hght
may drown out another, Or perhaps
she could be persuaded to enter the
service of some Chicago promoter.
She would be worth a fortune to him
if she could be paid TO demolish his
rivals by occult means.

rendered Warm Reception.

There can be no doubt as to the
warmth and cordiality of the recep-
ton rendered to the ex-President not
only in ST. Louis, but along the line OF
railroad over which he passed to and
from the exposition. At the places
where his train stopped crowds thronged
the depots eager to catch a glimpse OF
the man referred to as the most dis
tinguished private citizen OF the world >
At st. Louis whenever he appeared the
applause was more liberal for him than
for Mr.. Roosevelt. So apparent was
this that at times the demonstrations
caused the management some chagrin,
lest the belief should prevail that an
insult had been offered to the President
Republicans offered only the explana-
ton that St. Louis is a Democratic city
and Missouri Democratic State CIeve-
lands vanity was tickled, and he un-
questiolably went home thinking that
he had felt the public pulse and found
that it beat with some degree of en-
Jhusiasm for him.

LpP0inted Prime Minister.

SOAAASCu Z 14IlE u11uISlcI.
Finally the Emperor appointed hIm to
be prime minister, to the amazemcnt of
the political world, who had always
looked upon him as a species of gloTi-
fed clerk and bureaucrat, rather than
as statesman. He has, however. done
singularly well as premier, bringing to
the political issues of the day that
sound practical common sense and that
business-like shrewdness which had en-
abled him to make such a mark as an
administrator. Not only has he salts
fed the Emperor and shown his ability
TO manage that terribly troublesome
reichsrath, or imperial parliament, but
he has likewise managed 20 win the con-
fdence and support of the business men
of the empire. He has made the devel-
opment of industry, the building OF ca
nails and railways, the first article of
his program, and has awakened the ma
ton, especially the business element
thereof. to the fact that unless they
keep a sharp watch on their representa-
tiyes in parliament and force them 20
cease their continual chickering's and
strife the interests OF their constitu-
ents viii suffer The result is that dur
ing the last session the reichsrath at
Vienna has done more real work than
in any previous parliamentary session
Perhaps the best indication of the
premiers character will be found in the
circular which he issued some time ago,
in which he laid down certain rules for
the guidance of government officials in
the performance of their duties, espe-
cially as regards their relations with the
public. He insisted therein that they
should show more readiness in comply
ing with the reasonable demands of the
public, and treat the latter with more
consideration than had until then been
the case, making no distinction between
titled people or poverty stricken peas
ants He demanded that they should
show absolute neutrality toward mem
bers of all nationalities and parties, and
not allow themselves TO be Influenced by
political considerations. Finally he ey
planned that he demanded OF them some
