peta avenue Mrs. Ursa S. Abbott en-
tertained thirty ladies and gentle
men at a delightful party given in
honor of her sisters, Misses Ida and
Margaret Keller of Lancaster, o.,
who are guests at the Abbott home.
Fiye-handed euchre was the feat

Miss Pearl Bannister was the recipi-
ent of the ladies' prize. a handsome
water color. painted by Mrs. Abbott.
Dan II. Hill was awarded the gen
tleman's prize. The handsome score
cards were greatly admired. They
were hand-painted, the work of the
hostess, and each bore a pretty verse.
Luncheon was served in charming
style at II o'clock, following which
the gentlemen enjoyed a smoke on
the large veranda in the moonlight.
Carnations. sweet peas and aspara-
gus were the flowers used in the
decorations, and the parlors were en-
trancing in their beauty.
The guests departed about / am.
thanking the hostess for an evening
of great pleasure. Mrs. Abbott ex-
cells as hostess, and her affair of

Struck by a Train.

Will Johnson, young man, was
brought to the city this morning on
freight train, suffering intensely
from injuries received by being hit
by a railroad engine.
DIR. Ursa S. Abbott was called and
dressed the mans injuries. He
found that he was suffering from a
terrible scalp wound over inches
in length, and many bruises on his
back and hips. He was in a semi
conscious condition and could not
give a very clear account of the ac-
cident. He told DR.. Abbott that he
had been working on a tunnel in
Utah. and had been walking along
the railroad track. and that the train
must have struck him.
Some of the crew of the freight
train which struck Johnson saw the
latter laying near the track. and the
train was stopped and the injured
man picked up in an unconscious
condition. He was placed on the
train and brought to this city.
The fact that johnson does not
remember the train striking him, if
he was sitting on the track resting.
is somewhat peculiar, and some of
the members of the train crew think
that he must have been on the train.
and, falling off, was struck by one of
the cars.
johnson is stranger here. He
had no money on his person. Dr.
Abbott states that his condition is
not dangerous. though his wounds
are very painful.

Eortnnc TclIcrs Arrestcd.

Yesterday tough-loolOng gang of
gypsies struck town and the women
began making the rounds of the town
seeking to tell fortunes, and, as us
ual, succeeded in getting their hands
on quite a lot of change.
This morning two of the women
went to the house of Mrs. Howard
in the lower part of town. and asked
to tell her fortune. Mrs. Howard gave
one of them so cents. then the for
tune teller told her that she must
give her another piece of money for
luck. The woman refused. but the
gypsy insisted. and finally Mrs. How
ard consented; but. having nothing
less than $40 bill, presented it to
the woman to be changed. BY some
mysterious movements the hag made
believe that she tore the bill up into
shreds, when in reality she tore up
an imitation bill and pocketed the
other. and Mrs. Howard was ont
$l0.50. She demanded the return
of the money. but the gypsy insisted
that she had destroyed it, and left.
This afternoon a warrant was
sworn out by Mrs. Howard against
the two women. and they were ar
rested and arraigned before Judge
Byers at the hour we go to press
The gang had been notified this
morning to leave town.
1t is about the dirtiest and most
repulsive looking gang of gypsies
that ever struck town.

THREE STAGES = THREE RINGS
All Used in the Barnum Il Bailey
Show Besides n Race Track.

One can get a good idea of the
magnitude of the greatest show on
earth by considering for a moment
that three stages, three circus rings
and race track are required to ex-
hibit the 100 acts.
Besides these. again. there are any
quantity of aerial apparatus to en-
able the skilled artistes to execute
the thrilling acts in the air which
are their specialties. Then there are
two menageries, an elephant pavil-
ion with three herds of big perform
ing pachyderms, double-horned rhi-
noceros, drove of camels. herd of
giraffes, cages of wild beasts, birds.
monkeys. etc, besides all the curious
led animals, llamas, alpacas, guiana
cos and many others.
And, again. there is a most de
lightful exhibition, which is per-
formed in the menagerie-an exhi-
bition of the most charming charac-
ter executed by the troupe of mid
gets, the giant, the Scandinavian
troupe of dancers, vocalists and 9TH

All will be here on Monday, July

front of private property. 1t is, of
course. an imposition to ask property
owners and residents to cut down
weeds that are growing on the prop
erty of others, but if they could cut
beyond their property a short dis
tance and all would do so, the weeds
to large extent could be banished
The city will undertake to move these
weeds if cut and placed in piles
There should be united action upon
the part of property owners to cut
these weeds down, as nothing quite
so much contributes to mar the beau
" of the city as these unsightly
growths.

MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
Theft of Butter Traced to Colored Boot
black

The police officials expressed qualification
last night when Crossing Policeman John
Croft arrested William Fink, alias "Coun-
try, colored bootblack, and locked
MIN up at the first precinct on charges of
having stolen quantities of butter from the
place OF business of Capt. James F. Oyster
corner or pennsylvania avenue and 9th
street northwest. A number of thefts of
butter have been committed there and the
police have experienced considerable trouble
in the investigation of the cases, Police
man Ward Of the first precinct learned that
some of the stolen butter had been sold to
Mrs Sarah Weinberg of AZ street south
west, and several boxes of it were recoy-
ered from her. Feeling that she had been
imposed upon. Mrs. Weinberg did all she
could to assist the police in their efforts
TO capture the person or persons who were
engaged in the theft of the butter Late
Yesterday afternoon she went to Mr. Oys-
ters store for the purpose of discussing the
case with him and met Country" in front
of the building.
Where did you get that butter you sold
me?" she asked him.
The colored bootblack who had heen n,
business about that corner for a number
of years, started to tell her about his end
OF the transaction, but when he saw she
was about to have him arrested he ran
away. A young man who was standing
near the corner started in pursuit and was
only deferred from arresting him by q
threat on "Country's' part that he would
cut his heart out with a knife.
Two hours after Mrs Weinberg had NAV
ed detective and told the colored mans
identity the latter returned to the vicinity
OF Capt. Oysters place OF business and was
arrested.
AT the first precinct station he VS. ones
toned by Lieut. Amiss, Policeman San
ford and others, and admitted that he had
sold Mrs. Weinberg the butter His story
was that he had found the butter in a bag
on the porch in the rear of the Store and
that he hid 1t in the cellar until about 2
o'clock in the afternoon, when he took ii
ito South Washington and sold it, He de-
MES that there was anybody implicated in
the affair with him.
The prisoner is about twenty-six years
old and has been employed in a coffee
store adjoining Capt Oysters place of busi-
ness. There is a partition between the two
stores and 1t is believed. the butter was
taken through a transom in the frame
work. Fink had a shoe stand in front of
the building and was looked upon by mer-
chants in the neIghborhood as being
thoroughly honest. He will probably be
measured and photographed at police head
quarters this morning and will be given a
hearing in the Police Court tomorrow.

Turbine Steamers Fast Trim.

The Allan Line turbine steamer Virginian
arrived at Halifax, n. S., Friday, on her
maiden trip, having made the run of $500
miles from Neville to Halifax in six days
fourteen hours and thirty-four minutes.
This is a record trip between Halifax and
Movflle The Virginian's average speed
was 1o1s knots an hour. Deducting seven
hours for detention on account of fog her
net average speed was 15.1 knots an hour.
The turbines worked admirably. and the
passengers are loud in their praise of the
ocean-going qualities of the turbine. Her
best hour 5 run was on Tuesday last when
she made 1915 knots. The best daily run
was 4o3 miles, which is also a record for
the Canadian route. She went as far south
as latitude 1870. longitude 20; to escape
ice, but met sixty icebergs.

fRUIT|ON OF HOPES
Dream of the D. A. R. About
to Be Realized.
M EN- ORAL BUILDING
STRUCTURE TO BE COMPLETED AT
AN EARLY DATE.
Discussion of Ways and Means-Con-
test Over Choice of Presi-
dent General.

The dream of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution is about to be realized.
For twelve years the society has been
working for a memorial hall, and now it
is almost an accomplished fact Another
year, it is confidently believed, will see this
great patriotic organization housed in its
own home, and beautiful home it is. 1t
may not be unique. but the suggestion
comes that there is not anywhere in the
world SO beautiful and costly a monument
built, memorial to heroes. as this fair white
marble building which represents the earn
est and indefatgable efforts of women
only. In that lies its uniqueness. Women
have builded this temple of memory, and
it is said not another example of this char
acter of lofty and costly devotion exists
in the world today.
The unfinished structure can scarcely be
judged kindly, so much of 1t being in the
rough and yet there is enough there to
show that the building will be worthy OF
the Daughters of the American Revolution,
that it will be a splendid memorial to the
men and women of the revolution, and that
ii will be one of the notable structures in
Washington, where wealth and art are
combining to make the most beautiful city
in the world.
The auditorium, which has the appear
ance of a court, opens to the sky under a
glass dome, having sea- ting capacity of
1890, and the stage is in full view of every
point of the hall, around three sides of
which circle the museum, library and lobby
in a way that the great doors can be opened
to throw the whole main floor into onegreat
promenade reception room. From the mu-
scum the doors lead out on the great me-
mortal portico. with its thirteen massive
marble monoliths commemorative of the
thirteen original states
On the second floor are the offices for
president general and other national Off
GERS. with a steel vault for money and rec
ords and relics of the society, with man
