WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.
Estimates fism Both Parties on Con-
gressional Election.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KEYSER, w. Va, June AT the
headquarters of the second district
democratic congressional committee here
great confidence is expressed in the
election of Col. Thomas B. Davis for Con-
gress at the special election to be held next
Tuesday. Chairman Campbell says he has
received encouraging news from the mining
districts along the line of the West vir-
ginia Central and Pittsburg railway, al
ways regarded as republican stronghofds.
The republicans have meetings in nearly
every county this week. republican
leader says mistake was made in not
starting the speaking right after the nomi-
nation over month age. The voter he
contends, cannot be enthused in one week
The democrats have had no speaking at
all, but their campaign is not lacking in
funds. The republicans say their worst
danger lies in apathy.
The democrats declare the republicans
are desperate and point to the alleged letter
of Charles w. Swisher, chairman of the
republican state committee, evidently in
tended for republican Office holder but
was mailed to the wrong man. The writer
states that he Is assessing each officeholder
$40 to help elect Lakin.
Conservative estimates made by promi-
nent members Of both parties regarding the
outcome Of the election would give Lakin,
cratic estimate is as follows: Barbour
county, 100 majority for Davis; Jefferson,
1,4o0, Berkeley, 400; Hampshire 140O;
Hardy, 800; Pendleton, 700; Mineral, 300;
Randolph, 400; total. 800; republican esti-
mate: Barbour 200; Berkeley 100; Pres
Grant. 500; Tucker, 400; Morgan, 800; total,
400

RESULT OF A DISPUTE.
Colored Girls Fall Out and One is I'm
der Grave Charges.

Suffering from three cuts on her face
and neck and with clothes badly torn
and her hair disheveled, Clara Clark
rushed into the fourth precinct station
about 1:3O o'clock last night and asked
for help. She was assisted to a chair, and
between loud groans that filled the sta
tion house with their echoes she told the
story of how the wounds were inflicted.
She blanies Susie Clark, also colored. for
the cutting and the officers of No. 4
started out at once to arrest the accused.
According to the story told the police
Clara Clark and Susie Clark are neighbors
In Knox alley southwest. They were en-
joying themselves last evening with a lit
tie beer on the side, when an alteration
arose between these two, and soon the diff
ference waxed warm. Susie Clark. it is
alleged, got hold of a knife and with IL
attacked Clara, infiicting three wounds
deep one in the temple another in the
forehead and a long cash in the neck lust
below the ear. The blood ran profusely,
and when the girl came into the station
house, what clothes were left on her were
red with blood
She was taken to the Emergency Hos
pital in the wagon of the station where
her wounds were dressed.

POLICE FORCE CHANGES
SPECULATION REGARDING PRO-
MOTIONS AND TRANSFERS.

Members Of the police department are
indulging in some speculation regarding
the probable changes that are to be made
In the department about the end of the
present fiscal year or the beginning Of
the next year The retirement Of Lieut..
Jordan of the seventh precinct is looked
upon as assured, and rumor has 1t that
there are to be other retirements in the
higher grades of the service. Just what
other officials will step out has not yet
been made public, and their names will
probably not be announced until they are
cited to appear before the police surgeons
for examination.
1t is known that Major Sylvester Is
anxious to have more young men connect
ed with his staff than he now has, and the
retirement Of some of the older members
seems to be the only way that he can
make room for the new material.
Ever since the announcement in The
Star several days ago that a number of
changes were in prospect the sergeants
who are looking forward toward promo
ton have been unusually active in build
ing their fences. 1t is said that Major
Sylvester is not going to make the pro-
motions because of influence, but will
make them entirely upon merit. One ap-
plicant, it is said, boasts that he has army
influence, another that the business men
are backing him, and others claim that
their influence is of political nature.
Main Thing MeritoIious Service.
1t is understood that while Major Syl-
vester will not wholly ignore such infiu-
ence he will recommend to the Commits
sioners that the promotions be made for
meritorious service. Most of the younger
sergeants are expecting to get the first
plum but, 1t is said, one of the men who
has been in the service a number of years
may land it. The case of Lieutenant Jor-
dan will probably be finally disposed of in
a few days, although he may not be re-
tired until the last of the month.
The matter of establishing a precinct in
Anacostia has come to the notice of the
police officials lately, and the question
may receive early consideration. Sergt
Anderson, who has been mounted SER
geant in charge of the Anacostia district
for "a number of years, may be fortunate
enough to receive a promotion. There is
considerable difference between the police
work in the city and that in the county, it
is stated, and Sergt. Anderson is so thor
oughly acquainted with the county detail
that he is looked upon as the one most
likely to get the position.

FROM SMALL BEGINNING.
Success of Mrs. Wilson in Running De-
partment Store.

Mrs A Wilson has been very successful
as a follower of A. T. Stewart in the keep
ing of a department store. Mrs Wilson
began as storekeeper fifteen years ago,
In a small room, about thirty feet square,
at the corner of 18th and Wylie streets
northeast. Her efforts to accommodate her
customers were appreciated and her trade
grew, until she had to move into a larger
store.
About eight years ago Mrs. Wilson moved
into her present quarters, at 1i19-1123 II
street northeast. In this location, Mrs. Will
son states she has the largest trade in
the northeast section of the city. When
one enters the door he is impressed with
the large stock in trade, affordng custom
ers a great variety to pick from. 1t is
truly a general department store.
A branch store at 1888 North Capitol
street has just been opened by Mrs. VIII
son to accommodate the general custom in
that section, and it has been given gen.
erouS patronage from the start This store
is in charge of Mrs. Wilson's daughter
Believing that those who give her their
steady trade should be recognized in some
way, Mrs. Wilson has decided to give trad
ing stamps to her customers, allowing 81 so
for every $50 worth of goods purchased
This feature, she believes. will increase her
already large patronage.

BANK IN IT'S NEW HOME
WILL OPEN TOMORROW MORNING
IN HANDSOME QUARTERS.
American Nationals Quarters on F
Street-Attractive, Roomy and Con-
venient-Vault; q Feature.

The new quarters Of the American Nation
al Bank in the Sun building, 1915 F street, or
as it is now known the American Bank build
ing-give SO much more elbow room that
the bank officials will feel quite lonely for
awhile, until they get used to so much
space. The entire width of the building
has been thrown into the banking room,
with the exception of a hallway on the
west side, which gives access to the ele-
vator and the Office rooms on the upper
floors of the building. In addition to this
width the banking room has the full sweep
Of the entire depth of the structure, which
extends all the way back to the border
line of the lot on the alley. Besides, the
second story Of the building has been
wiped out and all that space has been
thrown into the banking room, SO that
there is not only ample opportunity for
customers and employees alike to move
about, but there is lofty ceiling which
Is carried on substantial pillars. The gen.
eraf effect of the room is, first OF all, that
of spaciousness.
The fittings correspond with the general
dimensions of the place. The counters are
Of white marble, beautifully veined with
black and with a yellow tinge that gives
this variety of stone its attractiveness. The
screen work is of bronze and the wood
work mahogany. The wood is seen to good
effect in the finishing Of the Office rooms,
arranged for the use of the president of the
bank. Mr.. Robert N. Harper, and the
cashier, Mr.. r. H. Linn, as well as those
for the use Of the customers of the bank
These are about the sides of the room, near
the main entrance from F street, which is
about in. the middle of the front.
Vault an Important Feature.
The banking department terminates with
the vault, which is an important feature
and which, like things Of that sort, does
not look as if it cost nearly as much money
as Is put into it. However, 1t is there for
use and not for show, and as long as it is
the latest thing in that line the bank Of
ficials are satisfied. There is also provision
for safe deposit boxes, and it is believed
that in this better and much more roomy
place. the business of the bank can be
done with more expedition as well as with
more comfort to employees and customers
At any rate the bank is now in a home
of its own, and what is more it is regarded
as one that Is worthy of the institution,
and that it is specially creditable that
such a young bank can claim abiding
place of these proportions.
According to announcements sent out by
the president of the bank, Mr.. Harper, the
business of the institution will be con-
Quoted from it's new home with the open
ing of business tomorrow morning.

The MikadQ'S Menu.

The japanese emperor's yearly ex-
pense of living is limited For this
purpose he draws 100000 from the
national treasury. His personal wealth
is not to be spent on his own living,
SO that SIS, 100000 is really his salary as
manager of the country. He is requir-
ed to pay out of it some thousand
employees.
The emperor's daily fare is Japanese.
He is perfectly satisfied for breakfast
with q bowl Of bean soup and a few
other dishes, but his dinner usually
appears in splendid style, in some
twenty courses, although he always
denounces it as useless extravaganza.
When any official feast is held-the
cherry blossom viewing party at the
Kioshikawa botanical garden or the
chrysanthemum party at the Akasaka
palace, for instance-he will not spare
any expense in preparing an elegant
European banquet.-Chicago Journal.
