VF" Matter of whatever character intended for psOMeatum mutt, its ajyprtirtsnce the same tiny is desired, V0ueh the office not later than 12 o'clock noon.

So attention paid to Anonymous Letters. The House of Representatives has evidently become as weary as the rest of the Washington pubHe of such performances as It indulged In before the holidays with regard to District mutters. Perhaps In he whole history of local legislation large an amount of work was never pushed through in same length of time. Most of moreover, wan of a character to command the approval of the bulk of the citizens of the District. The school bill was taken out of the hands of the Illinois delegation, who most have reached the conclusion, before the afternoon was over, that the education system of Washington was not a private tor the amusement, edlfleatlon or profit of a single lruportal officeholder.

The bill for the const ruction of the much-needed bridge across the Kastern branch was passed, as were the Important ones establishing titles In tax real estate; authorizing the commissioners to make police regulations; and for the protection of Uvea and property from fire. Other measures were acceptably disposed of, and every Congressman who had a share in the day's proceedings pr jbably went home with a load off his mind and an Unproved opinion of himself. Wisconsin has judge of whom she may feel as pardonably proud as of her governor. His name Is Sloau, and he presided at the trial of the Bay View rioters In Milwaukee. His charge to the Jury laid down the law without lnx terms, following In its general tenor the utterances of Judge Gary at Chicago summer.

'-Every person, he said, "who went to Bay View to take our the scabs was guilty of participation the unlawful work of the Every one who was there and encouraged It was also guilty. Th-i amonnt of violence Is of no consequence. The owners and employees of the mills had a rUht to work, and any interference was unlawful." It takes courage even for a magistrate on the bench. In these days of loose logic and sloshy seutlruent, to draw so sharp a line as that between guilt and innocence; and yet it la sound law and sound word of it. Upon any other the liberty of the citizen on which we Americans so vaunt our Institutions, is a mockerv and a fraud.

No man has a right to raise his hand In violence against a neighbor who has not done as much to 1dm. In the right to work and eat and sleep and acquire property and amuse himself In peace, the law must protean the humMest human being on the face of the earth, and tiie man who plans or threatens interference with this right must suffer Jointly with the man who actually commits the deed of wrung. Although it is common to think of the late Isaac Sprague, the -living skeleton," only in the capacity of a museum freak, he really occupied a more dignified position in the world of science. ITobably no man of his age had been the guest of a larger number of physicians and medieal colleges than he. He was blessed, moreover, with a fairly Intelligent nilud.

and employed It on the study of his own case. Nothing like It was ever known before. The next most famou3 "living skeleton" was Calvin whose emaciation was caused by the gradual narrowing of the thoracic duct, while sprague's was due to muscular atrophy. This disease usually runs Its course in five years; the longest period recorded before Spraguo's was ten years; but sprague, who must have been about forty-six years old. showed his first symptoms at the age of twelve.

When he entered Mr. Barnum employ In he weighed ninety pounds. Two years ago this figure had shrunk to forty-three, and he had become partly helpless through the dissipation of the muscular fibre In nls arms and legs, strange to say, his parents were strong and full blooded, and his brothers and sisters ranged In weight at maturity, from one hundred and seventy to two hundred pounds. His three children, also, are of normal stature and sound health. Sprague at one time announced his purpose of bequeathing his body to the Harvard medical school, to be used In whatever manner would most benefit the cause of science.

Whether his legal representatives will consent to this, however, la open to question. So thoroughly identified the name of John Batch with the trade of shipbuilding that probably few of his fallow citizens are aware that his original occupation was that of a machinist, and the ambit ton of his earlier life to be a farmer. It is a noteworthy coindence that the two great changes In his career were wrought by the business failures of friends In whose fortunt-s he was financially entangled. In the first Instance he had bought a farm aad paid down one-half of the slender savings or years of toll as a mechanic; the other half he had left In the hands of a man whom he trusted like a brother, but who became a bankrupt. When the time for the final payment therefore.

Roach was unable to produce the money and lost the farm. This sent him back to his trade, thoroughly disgusted with his agricultural hobby. The second instance was when he had become surety on a contract held by a shipbuilder at Chester, Pa. Tne contractor failed, and, rather than pay Ids Roach resolved to complete the work in hand. He did so, and with such shrewdness that he maue a handsome profit and concluded that there was more money Tor hlin in shipbuilding than In machine-making.

Mr. Roach's remarkable history Illustrates the folly of repining over adverse accidents, which so often open the happiest opportunity if our courage Is equal to the test. Several h.iT> recently be? printed in England to answer In the query, "Who invented the adhesive pouugv stamp?" Up to within a short tune Sir Rowland HUL, "the father of the penny post," has been accorded the houor; but his claim Is disputed by Mr. Patrick Chalmers, or Wimbledon, In behalf of his father, Jtimes Chalmers. To many mind- such a question seems a si range one to make the text ror a vigorous controversy, since the invention consisted merely of a device to take the place of the tld inerhodof printing "Paid" or "Six pence postage due" on the ouL-lde of a letter or package with a hand-stamp held by the postmaster.

Yet, Insensibly to itself, the world received from the adhe-uve stamp one of the greatest practical benefits it has ever The national treasuries acquired more moneythrough the increased convenience to the public on the one hand and greater facility of collection on the other. The adhesive stamp made correspondence eatter; the eu.te of correspondence made its volume larger; the increased volume paved the way for cheaper li It comes thai to the Invention of a llitl" bit of colored paper aseared with mucilage on the back, we must credit our power nd a letter to-day from one extreme of the Unlt-d Kingdom to tue other for a penny, or rrotn Bangor to Los Angeles for Its equivalent in American money, it nor wonderful, in new of what the years have wttnebaed In progress on both sides of the globe, that the honor of de vising so far-reaching an Improvement should be regarded worth contending for. In America they lecture sing. Lady Colin Campbell has received an oCfer of live hundred dollars a night for a concert tour. If Lord COUn could now be Induced to write a drama and act the leading part himself, and all the peeping Toms and chattering who testified at the trial would a glass case at Madame Tu-waud the British public might get tued of the whole crew, and be willing to change the fashion in popular scandals for a time.

Justice Barrett, of New York city, has done well in refusing a change of venue for he trial of Jacob Sharp, the boodle Bruadway railroad king. Turn and turn about is fair, sharp has had his fon with New ork city; now it only right that New York city should have lu fun with sham if Sharp didn't want to be tried in New York, he should have carried on his operations somewhere else. Indiana bids fair to present to her sister states the same spectacle of legislative chaos as oblo did not very long ago. charges of usurpation and are bandied between the two great political parties with a freedom which must send a shiver through the foreign observer of our institutions.

It has been a bad season for warm goods of every description, and most merchants seem to be entirely absorbed in their disposal and somewhat regardless uf the fact that the season is here for balls, parties and receptions. You may get everything you want at the Palais Royal, and if it is warm goods, such as cloaks or underwear, yon will find the prices reduced regardless of what they cost A word should be said in favor of the glove and fan departments.

Strangers to Washington are always sstounded that a city of 200,000 Inhabitants could support store whose glove department requires fifteen assistants, and where fans may be found not by tens or hundreds, but by the thousand, and at prices as low aa 25c. and up to $100. That such exists in Wsshingtou is illustrated at the Palais Royal. The store is acknowledged to make the finest display in the country. Five men are employed solely for the deooration of the windows and stores, and that they are artists a visit will demonstrate." (A.

Thf unparalleled growth of the city in population aud business, with a proportionate increase in the use of water, baa necessitated a large addition to the plant and the change of the source or supply to a point on the Missouri river several miles above the city.

For this purpose the National Water Works Company (by which the works were built and are owned) has lately acquired the works in Kansas City, Kansas, (opposite nsaa City, Missouri) and will now serve both cities, Jrnated at over 150,000 population. The Company has made an issue of CL500.000 Six Per Cent Water Supply Bonds, secured by mortgage on the works, to provide means for these extensions. The annual net earnings are now about 9220,000, as per official statements, and the entire interest charge embracing these bonds when all are issued will be only $180,000, there being a previous issue of 4L500.000. This is without any estimate for the largely increased earnings to be derived from the late and extensions in progress. Price of the Bonds: Par and accrued interest.
