a man who refused to sign his name

told the rest to hush.
Dr. Gray could be easily identified. He
always carried an umbrella, which he
walked with in the manner of using a
cane or carried behind him with both
hands. His beard was almost snow
white and struggled. Mr.. Chew said DR..
Gray had remarked that it needed trim

appearance a long dark blue overcoat
dark clothes, a brown slouch hat, and
black shoes.
There seems to be only one explanation
of the strangest case of disappearance
on record in the police annals of Wash

robbed. and probably murdered and his
body hidden in the woods north of
Georgetown, or he has deliberately oblit-
Grated himself from his friends. either
willfully or in fit of mental abstraction

DANCE
PROVES MERRY Event
Women Pay for Their Part.
ners' Tickets and Buy
the Suppers.

A suffragette dance was given by a
merry party of young folks at Davidson S
Academy. 10 9th street northwest, last
night The dance is said to be the first
real suffragette dance ever given. Every
woman had the full rights of real man
at that dance. She even had the wonder
full right of paying for her partners
ticket, buying his supper and paying his
transportation both ways. Not only that,
but every woman had the pleasure for
once in her life of dancing with just the
man she wanted to, because the women
filled up the dance cards and did not
have to ask a man TO dance If they didn't
want to-
The credit for this idea was given by
some Of those present to Alma c. Ran. She
made an announcement at the start of
the festivities that no man had the right
to ask a woman for dance, and that
if there were to be any wall flowers
they would be of the masculine variety.
Then she waved her hand at the suffra-
flourish the woman musicians looked
coquettishly at the masculine bellies, who
.aited Diushingly for a woman to ask
them for the pleasure of this dance, and
started off with IF You Love Your Baby
