Hans Andersen Motif
for a Child's Bazaar

TsHERE are few better ways to gather in
money for charitable purpose than by
Il childs fair-a bazaar arranged and man
aged by grown folks but having the little
people stallhoders dispensers of fefrcshment and
entertainers in chief.
A new motif which lends itself admirably to such
a sale is that of Hans Andersen
The idea affords an unusual setting. with chance
for very unique decorative effects.
The children are costumed to represent the vari-
Gus characters of the famous fairy tales. In some
instances booths and articles offered are approprl-
ate to the costume.
For example, the little Snow Queen, from her
stall of dazzling white and silver, retais frozen
dainties of various kinds.
Another extremely picturesque booth is presided
over by the Little Sea Maid. Here all manner OF
marine objects are displayed.
Marine scenes, Photographic in water color;
shells. seaweed decorated table cards, fancy work
embroidered with ships or bon voyage sentiments.
Books relating to the sea, salt water taffy, travel
mo bags trunks and other articles for persons going
abroad, ct cetera.
The celebrated rose story of the same author
conld be used as the foundation of exquisite
booth.
Climbing roses of the millinery species can form
a bower for the little saleswoman. and everything
sold by her must SAVIOR of the queen OF flowers.
Everything, from pot of the natural blossoms or
a vase for holding them to rose sachet OF book
on the cultivation of the garden can be vended
from stall arranged Oh this plan.

calibre revolver, VIM. j. O'Brien,
alias VIM. Duffy, an insane discharged
soldier Thursday entered the war de-
partment and going to room 227 in

Robert j. Manning, messenger, and
Arthur Wicker, clerk. Miss Emma
Saxton, another clerk, barely missed
being shcs through the head. The
injury to Manning Is on the right side
Just above the kidneys and is regarded
as dangerous. Wicker was shot in
the left arm above the elbow. Before
the maniac could fire a third time he
was overpowered by JamesJ. Dawson,
messenger. 1t required the COM
hined strength Of half a dozen men to
finally subdue the man. Prominent
among them was Lieut.. Gen. Adna II.
Chaffee, chief-of-staff. The lunatic
still held the smoking weapon In his
hand when Gen. Chaffee noticed it
and with his left hand took the wea-
pom from him and also the plpers in
his pocket. Majs. Kean and Ireland
of the surgeon generals staff, were
hastily sent for and gave first aid to
the injured men before ey were
taken to the Emergency hospital.
O'Brien or Duffy in talking to
Charles Brandt, the chief of the diyi.
sion, expressed dissatisfaction with
his discharge papers. Then without
Il word Of warning he drew the pistol
from his pocket and aimed it directly
at Brandt's head. Brandt ducked and
the bullet entered the arm Of Wicker.
lie then turned the weapon on Miss
SaXton and fired. She, too, lodged
and the bullet struck Manning.
O'Brien was taken to the police
station, 1T requiring four men to get
him out OF the building. O'Brien
was admitted to ST. Elizabeth's asy-
lum In 1893. He later was paroled
but returned in 1897. He served in
the Sixth cavalry ana Third artillery.

A Ho.z TIME.
Grover Cleveland Churged With Din
ing With n Negro Man.

There was n red hot debate in the
house on Monday, During which Mr..
Scott asked Mr.. Gilbert if he did not
know thu a negro dined at the White
';ousc during President Cleveland's
/ first administration, to which Mr..
Gilbert replied that the Democrats
were not particularly claiming Mr.
Cleveland, and that he was not first
class Democrat.
MIR. Scott then said that G. ii. j.
Taylor, u negro from Georgia, was
brought to Washington and was
taken to the White House when Mr..
Cleveland invited him to dine with
him, which invitation he said, was
accepted.
MIR. Scott drew contrast between
Washington and Tay lor, saying the
former was man OF recognized abil-
ity and had been the guest OF distin-
including Queen Victoria, and declar-
ed that the later had nothing to com
mend him save the claim that he car
ried the Democratic negro vote in his
pocket. lie said further that Taylor
mad been appointed to position in
Washington. And by Cleveland -
suggested voice on the Republican
side
Continuing, MIR. Gilbert said that
In the Spanish war there were Gener-
al Miles, commanding general Of the
army; Admiral Dewey at Manila, Ad-
miral Schlcy, Generals, Lee, Wheeler
and Bell, all OF whom were Demo
Gratis. On the other side he said there
was a member Of the Republican cab
met accused of sending embalmed beef
to the soldiers. Then" he said,
there was Republican horse doctor
sent to Cuba who was accused of be.
friending the gamblers and lawbreak-
ers."
He referred to the conviction OF
Rath5one and Neely and alluded to
General Funston, who, he charged,
had violated the rules of civilized war
| farc in wearing Jne uniform OF an
enemy In the capture Of Aguinaldo.
He next referred to General Davis,
who" he said, sold rice and other
provisions to starving natives at enor-
nous profits"
The Republicans had promised to
destroy trusts, declared Mr.. Gilbert,
out they now had a bill ia the senate
making lawful all reasonable trusts
and repeating the impris2 :ment
clause Of the Sherman law as to crimi-
nails"
MIR. Dalzell (Pa.) discussing Cana
dian reciprocity, said he had been un-
able to find, after exhaustive research,
single, solitary argument which
would justify the negotiation of re-
ciprccity treaty between the United
States and Canada. ..-...--.4.-,
MIR. Williams (Miss) }, responding to
Mr.. Dalzell, asked the majority why
they did not pass the kasson treaties
which, he said, represented Mckinley
reciprocity.

No Sleep in Ten Years.

Albert Herpin, born in France in
1862 and for fifteen years hostler in
the employ Of Walter Phares, of Tren-
ton, N. j., declares he has not slept
wink in the last ten years and that
his eyes seldom closed in slumber for
several years preceding. Notwith-
standing this, he does not seem to
suffer any discomfort from his remark
able condition. He goes to bed re-
gularly, but says he never closes his
eyes, or at least never for an instant
loses consciousness of all that Is 60
ing on about him. In the morning he
arises refreshed and ready for another
days work. He declares the change
of position and the darkness of the
room seem to give him all the rest he
requires. The mans story is sustain
ed by physicians who have examined
him and who have made vain efforts
to afford relief.
