TWO STOLEN PICTURES FOUND
Portraits of Mckinley and Hanna
Recovered in Philadelphia.
William Wilson Held as Thief by
COmmissioner in Quaker City
and VIII Be Brought Here.

Detective Horne. who went to Philadel-
phia on Friday night 20 arrest William
Wilson, the alleged picture thief. returned
TO Washington empty handed yesterday,
as the United States commissioner in that
city has taken charge Of the case.
At a hearing yesterday in Philadelphia,
Wilson was held in $3.50 bond and will
be sent to Washington by the marshal
next week for trial
Two OF the pictures. however, were re-
covered by Horne in a picture gallery en-
Arch street, In Philadelphia. They were
the portraits of Hanna and Mckinley,
painted by order OF Wilson for the Amer
ican Historical Society of Washington.
AS far as can be learned, there is no such
organization in this city, nor has Wilson
any relatives living here.
When brought before the marshal he
admitted that he had ordered the pOr-
traits. but said that they were very in
ferior work and so poorly executed that
he could not well exhibit them. He laugh
ed at the fact that they were valued at
s.. coo each. and said they were absolutely
worthless.
Where the other two pictures have been
sold has not yet been discovered.

TO INSPECT OUR GRAIN.
Senator McCumber VIII Renew the
Fight in Behalf of Farmers.

Senator McCumber, Of North Dakota,
who has returned TO Washington, an
nounces his purpose to renew the fight
for Federal inspection and grading of
grain. In behalf of the farmers of the
great grain-belt of the Northwest Last
winter he succeeded in securing a small
appropriation for government investiga-
ton to determine whether or not a seien-
tific and uniform method Of grading grain
can be devised.
This winter, the Senator declares. he in
tends to press the matter further. He De-
lieves that the investigations by the Agri-
cultural Department will show that such a
system as desired may easily be put into
practical operation, TO the benefit of the
American grain growers, whose foreign
customers have of late been violently pro-
testing against the lack of system in this
regard. which has resulted in d lessening
Of prices on export grain.

STOP SKATING ON STREETS.
Regulation May Be Framed to Pre-
vent Popular Practice.

The opinion Of Corporation Counsel E
II. Thomas regarding the advisability of
framing a regulation prohibiting roller
skating on the sidewalks and pavements
OF the city, has been requested by the
Commissioners. The matter was brought
to the attention Of the District officials
by a communication from Mrs. Julia c.
Bradley, who stated that while on Second
street, between East Capitol and B
streets, she was run into by a crowd Of
roller skaters, as a result OF which she
was badly injured. She was unable 10
identify any of the party, and no arrests
were made.

referred, said there is at present no law

FINDS THAT MANICURINGP
Mrs. Evans Suit Establishes Its
Rank as Costly Luxury,
Alleges Her Business Was Damaged
$4,000 Worth by SIander Uttered
by william b. Dawson,

Manlcuring. baIlooning, and auto-bub-
bling have long been considered the most
effective mediums for frittering away tie
green that Is long and crisp.
That manieuring belongs in this cate
CORY now seems certain, judging from q
suit which was begun in the District Su-
preme Court yesterday by Nellie {.
Evans, Of SIS Ninth street northwest,
against her neighbor. William B. Daw-
son, of S07 Ninth street northwest. who
keeps a union printing establishment
right across the way.
The manicureuse holds forth on the up
per floors Of an Italian aqua vita and
Parmesau cheese emporium. The latter
enterprise has absolutely no connection, in
business or otherwise, with the studio Of
Nellie Evans,
Slander is alleged to have been uttered
against Mrs. Evans by Mr.. Dawson. So,
at least, Mrs. Evans claims in her declara-
ton. She AYERS that her neighbor said she
was guilty of keeping a disorderiy house.
Mrs. Evans says that this allegation of
Mr. Dawson lacks every semblanee OF
truth. and that she has thereby been
brought into public scandal, infamy, and
disgrace. She says she has been greatly
injured by the slander. and that her
Eeighbors have heard of the groundless
talk. since which time they are not the
same toward her as Of yore.
Mrs. Evans claims that this idle gossip
which has been set adrift against her un-
sulied name has materially affected the
volume and profits Of her business. Just
how expensive a luxury manicuring is is
not disclosed by the petition, but that it
ranks somewhere in the list with motoring
and balloOning. is evidenced by Mrs.
Evans estimate that $4,000 would about
cover the loss of business OccasiOned by
the slander of which she accuses Mr..

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS ON VIEW
Kann & Sons Remind shoppers that
Buying Season as On.

s. Kann, Sons & Co. yesterday placed
on display a bewildering array of toys,
dolls. glittering Yuletide ornaments, and
other seasonal novelties that forcibly re-
minded the Saturday afternoon shoppers
that Christmas buying is almost at hand.
There were other reminders for the for
getful fathers and mothers in the con-
slant iingling of sleigh bells and a real
live Santa Claus, who wended his way in
and out Of the crowd, wearing the regula-
ton costume and a glad smile. A balloon
was presented every child when the
purchase amounted TO more than a stated
sum-
There were other inducements for
spending money. For instance. the big
list of table linens on display reminded the
purchasers that Thanksgiving. too. is ap-
preaching. Rare bargains in the silk de-
partment also were an eloquent hint for
proper costuming for the holidays. There
were dainty slippers In the shoe depart
ment, and other accomplishments to tempt
the women shoppers.

Mr.. Stillings yesterday positively denied
the authorship Of the above general or
