Stolen Silverware Is
 Mysteriously Returned

"Alls well that ends well,'' was ex- emplified yesterday when Detectives Ivey and Crump discovered that a quantity of stolen silverware they had been search ing for had been recovered.
 The silverware valued at $10o with nap kins had been stolen from an apartment house at Highland avenue and Twenty first street by negro who called for the property. It appears that the silverware and napkins had been borrowed from an- other South Highlands residence and that yesterday morning they were supposed to be returned. A negro >calling at this apartment and asking for the silver was thought to be a genuine messenger and was given the knives, forks, napkins without question. He was also given letter of thanks to deliver to the owner or the silverware for it's use
 However. telephone call appraised the lady in the flat that the borrowed silver had not been returned and a panic en- sued, in which the police were summoned. Detectives Ivey and Crump quickly went to the bottom of the affair and subjected the Janitor of the apartment to thorough examination. An hour later the jan,tor admitted on the return of the detectives to the scene that while the silverware had been stolen some mysterious stranger had brought 1t back
 The lady who had borrowed the missing articles was so happy at their return that she was quite indifferent to the &C., tive prosecution of the negro.

by the democracy of England to give Ireland home rule, and the house of commons passed the bill, but again aris- tocracy, this time the House of Lords, defeated Mir. Gladstone's labors and sent the Grand Old Man to his grave Ire- land need not and does not thank aristoc- racy. English or Irish for home rule, but Ireland does thank English democracy, and now expresses that thanks by com ing to the assistance of England, not English aristocracy.
 English aristocracy is the Bourbonism of today. It learns nothing. It knows nothing but to keep what 1t has and be what 1t was. Progress Is plebian. Born to rule, to legislate, to own the land. to live without labor. they cannot understand that the people have some voice in the government and have oven gone so far as to use it. These superior mortals have, to a certain extent, been pleased to admit the right of English men to exist, but as for Irishmen there was no right whatever except one. they had the right and privilege to get shot In defense of English aristocracy. Yet not even that privilege would be accorded an lrishman today if the London Express, the mouthpiece of blatant toryism may be taken seriously. It says: We are told that the passing of the home rule bill will mean the immediate recruiting of large numbers of nationalists in the south and west of Ireland. The Irish soldiers now with the colors have no superiors in the army. An army corps of Irishmen would be valuable, but we would prefer not to have another man of them if their services are to be bought with the dis honor of British statesmen" The dis honor" of the British statesman referred to was the fulfllment of the promise by MT. Asquith to put the home rule bill on the statute book.
 Ireland today is ready and willing to take part and bear her share in defend ing the British empire, but Ireland is just as ready and willing to pull down, uproot and drive out of the British empire the cancer of aristocracy, the much longer prolonged existence of which will imperil the throne itself.

counting the number of stars which with his naked eye one can detect with in the borders of this square. In mak- ing this observation, a perfectly clear. moonless night should be selected, and the observer must be careful to be away from all artificial light. Argelander, a celebrated German astronomer, who made great catalog of 100000 stars, stated 30 as the number visible to the eye under the best conditions. Another astronomer. under a wonderfully clear sky near Athens, counted no less than 1o2. If the observer detects from 20 to 80, however, he may be sitisfied that both his eve and the seeing at his sta ton are excellent
 There are certain special advantages to be gained by a simple study of this kind for in this way the observer not only learns how to look for very faint objects and becomes accustomed to do- ing so, but he also becomes able to judge Of the excellence or poorness Of any selected night for general obser-

England's Appeal to Ireland
Fly F. I. MONKS

As tree ia known by it's fruit, so are nations known by the characteristics of their people, especially with regard to their enemies The Indian never forgets nor forgives an injury, but patiently awaits and eventually enjoys the day of revenge; the Englishman forgives but never forgets an injury, the Irishman for gives and forgets an injury. Which of these characteristics Is the noblest is a matter of opinion. but which is the most Christlike there Is no disputing.
 Relying on that characteristic of the Irish people, Mir Asquith, .'as head of the King of England's government" goes to Ireland to summon loyal and patriotic Ireland to come to the assistance of Eng l land, and Ireland. true to that charac- teristic. loyally and periodically goes We'll is 1t for England that that appeal Was made by MT. Asquith, and not by one of his political opponents. Well is 1t for England that that appeal is being made today and not 10 years ago. Well is 1t for England that instead of Ireland being. as MT. Gladstone said. thorn In her side. Ireland is today a bulwark in her defense. And all this because of one just and generous act and in spite of the hundreds of wrongs and injuries of a century.
 Now. for the first time in history, is the United Kingdom united Kingdom. England and Ireland are united not by 8 paper union. but by asunion of hearts. of interests, of purposes. The bond be- tween them today is the wedding ring of gold and not the shackle of captor and captive; and this because England had the good fortune to have for prime min- ister a man who is a stateman. and who if not the greatest, will rank among the gi eatest statesmen England ever had. Well may both nations rejoice at this union. so long sought for by the democ- racy but prevented by the aristocracy of both. It was the abiding faith in the English democracy as represented by the liberal party that buoyed up and sus- tained the hope in Ireland that the day would come when wrongs would be right ed, that the crooked would be made straight. In 1886 the English democracy commissioned MT. Gladstone to give Ire land home rule and he would have done so had not his plans been frustrated and he himself defeated by combination made up of aristocratic tories and de- fectionists from his own party under the leadership of Joseph Chamberlain. Again, in 1893, was MT Gladstone commissioned

COMPROMISE EXPECTED
ON PORK BARREL BILL
When Senate Resumes Today the
Chances Are that Agreement Will
Have Been Reached.

1t appears now that there will be
compromise on the rivers and harbors
bill This pork barrel measure. which
is so dear to the hearts of many Senators
and Representatives was the cause of
prolonged filibuster in the Senate which
came to a close Saturday night When
the Senate resumes today the chances
are that the opponents and proponents
of the bill will have reached an agree
ment
AS the bill stands now, II provides for
an appropriation of approximately $34.-
10000. Senator Burton, who engineered
the filibUster. insists that a further cut
must be made before he will accept the
bill. There is good reason to believe that
the administration is opposed TO river
and harbOr expenditures at this time
beyond those absolutely needed to pre-
vent deterioration of projects already
started. II the appropriations are limit
ed in this way. the bill will not carry
much more than S15,OOO.O0o.
1t is the understanding, however, that
the compromise plan now under con-
Sideration cOntemplates an appropriation
of a little in excess of s., 10000. Con-
servative Democratic leaders would like
to see the rivers and harbors bill thrown
into the discard, as they fail to see how
they can justify on the stump this fall.

BELIEVE MISSING MAN
IS CONCEALED IN CITY
Relative of Stephen P. Wright Think
1t Hardly Possible that He Drowned
Himself. as Formerly Supposed.
POLICE ASKED TO MAKE SEARCH

Thought to have drowned himself in
the Potomac 100 yards below Great Falls
last Sunday. Stephen P. Wright member
OF the Washington Real Estate Ex-
change. now is believed by relatives and
friends to be living somewhere in the
city or vicinity.
The police yesterday were asked to
search for him. Portions OF clothing.
Identified as Wrights, were found along
the river bank, and this led relatives
and friends, at the time, to believe he
was drowned.
1t since has developed that on the after
noon the clothing was found, Wright
rented a boat to row across the river.
The boat reached the other shore, but
whether its occupant got that far cannot
as vet be determined. 1t now is the
opinion of Mrs. Wright and relatives OF
the missing man. that the clothing found
at Great Falls. were garments he in
tended taking to his home in Clarendon.
Va. and that he had no intention of
ending his life.
Wright is described to the police as
fifty-two years old. five feet. nine inches
tall lT5 rounds, medium build. fair COM

mixed with gray: short gray mustache,

German Condemns Those Wanting

British Robbers of Patents, written

ger Of the Central Society Of German
Industry.
The writer condemns the people in
Germany who consider it necessary
that, on industrial grounds, there should
be a speedy understanding with Eng
land. Every premature endeaver to ar
rive at an understanding would, he con-
siders. lead to grave risk of another
war, owing to the pride OF England.
Germany, he adds, must have an in
demnity for the sacrifices which the Ger
man people and the German trade have
have suffered. 1t is admitted the damage
caused by the ''cOnscienceless con
duct Of England has been great

OF German trade. He maintains thai
German trade has a more stable basis
than English trade because it Is less

LAW FOR THE COMING RACE.
Mrs. Hannah Mcqueen ExpOunda
Theories to Thcosophists,

The Theosophical Federation of Wash
ington opened its season OF activities yes
terday with a lecture on The Law for
the Coming Race" by Mrs. Hannah Nc
Queen, of New York,
we stand" she said, at the begin
ming of a new era, which ushers in a new
type or race of humanity, new ethics,
new politics. Humanity has given birth
to five great races and the new type
now in evidence is the beginning of the
sixth race. Each race has had its par
ucular keynote. That Of the fifth, now
passing, is individualism-each for him
self-and it is that spirit which is now
bathing in blood the countries of the Old
World.
The keynote of the coming race Is
unity. which will manifest itself in
worldwide brotherhood.
The Law" therefore. which should
govern the activities of the coming race
is the law of love. the only law by which
humanity can be drawn into the bonds
of universal brotherhood and the best
part OF all the religions OF the past syn
thesiZe into one great world-re1fgion.
