The House of Representatives worked hard last week, out it did a bad job in refusing to pass the International Copyright bill. The New York Telegram says that the American people are greater than Speaker Reud. From whom did the Telegram get its information? The Republican Legislature of New York has at last succeded in devising a ballot-reform bill to which Governor Hill's conscience and his tender regard for the constitution would allow him to affix his signature. Secretary Tracy has returned from New York. Mr. 13. W. Halford, the President's private sec retary. 1ms gone to Indianapolis for a brief visit. A letter received here yesterday from Mr. Clusltcy Cromwell tells how pleasantly he )3 sit uated and of his agreeable co-workers on the Denver Itcpnblican. He has "buckled on the harness, " and says his work is congenial and his surroumllURS nrc all that could be desired. Mr. W. Hamilton Smith, who forthc past four teen years has been connected with tho firm of J. Maury Dove, has resigned his position to ac cept nn important post in tho ofllco of Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop. He entered the employ of tho latter gentlemen on May I. The mmiorous friends of Hon. A. J. Hopkins, of the Fifth Illinois District, are congratulating him heartily on his unanimous rcuomination, on tho 1st instant. Mr. Hopkins is one of the young members of the House, but his constituents evi dently know a good Congressman when they sco him, ntid appreciate the fact that they have in their present Representative one or tho hardest working nnd most active men In the House. Charles A. HUsbury, the proprietor of that sturdy Republican paper, the Journal, of Rcl- fast, Me., Is expected hero on a visit next week. Mr. Pillsbury has many friends in Washington, which prior to a dozen years ago was the Held of his active journalistic work, both as ono of tho editors of Tun Sunday Herald, nnd ns Wash ington correspondent of various uowspapers distant from the city. He has met wcll-dcservcd success since ho loft this city, and ho will bo cordially welcomed by all those who know him well enough to appreciate his geniality and manly, gentle nature. Mr. George Raker, of the Roard of Pension Appeals, is tho author of a noteworthy and val uable article in the May number of the IVorf ?i American Review on "Our Pension Sjstem." Mr. Raber defines the fundamental principles on which the pension system is based, and favors a service pension for tho soldiers of tho war for the Union that shall bo granted upon conditions similar to those underlying the service pensions that ave provided for soldiers of the War of 1812 and or the war with Mexico. Mr. Uaber is rec ognized as a thorough student of our pension system, and bus repeatedly written with much ability on the subject. NEW PUBIjIC BUILDINGS.

Senate bill appropriating $300,000 for a home for inebriates in tho District of Columbia was passed by the Senate yesterday, Hourich's Extra Pnlo Lager. Ask for it. TESTIMONIAL FROM MEMBERS. Wiishington'H Needs to ho Investigated by Joint Committee. At the joint meeting yesterday, said to have been tho first in eight years, of the Senate and House Committees on Public Ruildings and Grounds, the question of new buildings in Washington City for the Interior Department, the General Post Oflice,andof a sitefor the new city post office were considered. After a lengthy discussion the matter was referred to a joint subcommittee, consisting of Senators Morrill and Vest and Representatives Clunie and Milliken, which is to make thorough in vestigation of the whole subject, and report the results of its work to the full committee as soon as convenient. General Benjamin F. Ecti.eii says the condi tion of the Western mortgage-ridden farmer is hopeless. , He can see nothing in the future for him but ruin or repudiation. The General should wait a while and watch the effect of the McKinley Tariff bill when it gets into operation. A pleasant event of the past week was the Tisit to Washington of ex-President Ghover Cleveland. The many friends and admirers of the distinguished gentleman were glad to perceive by the brightness of his eye and general vigor of his appearance that he was even in bet ter health than when he left the White House. Members of Congress and the general public will find on the first page of the Heuald supplement to-day an illustration well worth their careful study. The little District of Columbia is a sturdy fellow, but it's a shame and disgrace for great big Uncle Sam to pile such a burden on his shoulders. Tho great May Day labor demonstrations throughout this country and Europe happily passed off without serious disturbances. Tho vast army of wage-workers that engaged in the demonstrations show how widespread and thor ough the organization of labor has become. Rut a more important fact was the comparative good order maintained, showing that the gigantic movement for bettering the condition of the workmen is moving on rational lines under the direction of cool heads. Deliberately Shot His Companion. Atlanta, Ga., May 3. At the European Hotel to-day, M. J. Goldman, of Memphis, 6hot J. W. Howard, of St. Louis, and Howard will die. Roth men are strangers here, and there is a mystery over the shooting which is as yet un solved. Howard, though conscious, would say nothing except that his real name is Edward Skinner, and his brother-in-law, named S. O. Doan, iB in Sherman, Tex. The shooting was deliberately done. The men came here to Eclhcr and were on apparently on cood terms. They went to Goldman's room and the door had'been closed but a minute when shots were heard. Goldman walked out into the hall and in tho confusion made his escape. Goldman and Howard, as they were known here, had been In Atlanta on and off since April 17. Thoy were believed to be showmen, but noth ing definite can be learned about either. University ol Georgetown.

Havens Richards, president of the University. Of the seventeen graduates four arc of tho District of Columbia, of the twenty three undergraduates five are of this District, and of the twenty-five juniors nine are of the District of Columbia. Washington, D. C, May 2, 1800. Having followed Professor Colllurc's first six weeks' course of French conversation, wc,tho un dersigned members of his class, feel justified In fully indorsing tho Professor's claim to onginnl Ity In his method of imparting the power to vo calize correctly in French, thereby giving a per fect accent and pronunciation. His method is undoubtedly based upon scientific principles, ns we have had both the menus nnd opportunity of duly and thoroughly testing; and It is ns cor rectly eircctlvc as it is scientific, nnd therefore true. The result is that his Instruction appeals to tho intellect, as well as to the itnngluntlou, lending thereto a charm unknown to other methods. It captures nnd retains enthralled tho enthusiastic support nnd unllnggiug interest of tho pupils throughout tho entire course. As a natural con sequence, the practicnl conversational results aro marked to an unprecedented degree for so short a course. Why? Recauso of the inwnrd consciousness of power and knowledge which tho Professor has the happy faculty ot impart ing to each pupil through his exact scientific system. As very aptly expressed by sovcral of the pupils, tho study of French under this method is perfectly fascinating to the earnest pupil. Fascinating because it gives faith in tho possibility of learning to sneak French by it. Mrs. Thomas M. Baync, James S. Morrill, Anna M. Cleary, Mrs. E. L. Miller, Virginia L. M. Ewinsr. A. M.

I choose the former, and propose to do the largest week's busi ness I ever did by quoting prices simply without precedent. Although the project for the establishment of the Columbus Memorial Parle in Rock Creek Valley received a temporary pet-back in the nouse last week, its friends are confident it will pass on the next District day. There is no doubt that a good majority of the enlightened and liberal-minded members are in favor of the bill, and if proper effort is made to rally them to its support wheu the measure again comes up it will become a law. The friends of tho park should see to it that nothing is left undone to Insure this result. "A Knight of Labor."

Cor. 15th nnd O streets. The sudden death of Senator Beck yes terday afternoou was a terrible shock to this community, and drew out on every side expressions of tho deopest sorrow. His bereaved family has the slucerest sympathy of all In their aflllction. To the coun try and to the Democratic party in particular Mr. Buck's death ia a great loss, for he was an able and thoroughly trained public servant and a fearless aud powerful fighter for the cause of true Democracy and good government. Keen witted, alert, sturdy, aud courageous, ho was the admiration and love of friend and foe alike and leaves behind him a memory that will bo long cherished by all who knew him. The decision of the District Supreme Court that the Commissioners have the legal right to dismiss policemen without trial or the asbign .ment of cause naturally makes the members of the force uneasy as to their tenure of office. The present Board of Commissioners are ad mitted on all hands to be fair and just men, but nevertheless it is plain the policemen would feel greater security if the law guaranteed them Immunity from removal except after trial and conviction on definite charges. This would seem to be Jn accordance with the spiiit of American institutions, and it is to be hoped efforts will be made to secure the passage of a iaw dealing with the matter. Death ol" Mrs. D. K. Tripp. The death early Friday morning of Mrs. Dwight K. Tripp, of Chicago, formerly Miss Co rinne Williamson, daughter of Gen. James A. Williamson, at her father's residence on N streot, after a llugerlng illness, is a severe nflliction to her husband aud family, who were devotedly attached to her. In loveliness of character and manner she much resembled her mother, whoso death some years ago caused such regret She leaves a little boy about two years old. The funeral takes place this after noon, from tho residence to Rock Creek Cemetery. FuoIk About Secretary Blaine. Washington Letter in Concoid Evening Monitor. Mr. and Mrs. Emmons Blaine, with their in teresting little children, have returned to their home in Baltimore, after a week's visit to their relatives, the family of the Secretary of State. 1 saw the whole lamily while thoy were taking a walk in the twilight, one evening last week, and tho two facts which most impressed me were that Secretary Blaino is very nffectionate toward his grandchildren and that he is a re markably vigorous man and a light stepper. No Agrecement on Silver. Tho Republican Senate caucus committee on sliver had anothermeetlug yesterday afternoon. Several mombers were absent, and no attempt was made to commit those present to the sup port of any one of the several piopositlons that have been before the committee from timo to time. A general discussion revealed the fact that the two parties on the question ot author izing tho Secretary of tho Treasury to redeem bullion purchase notes with bullion were as widely apart as ever. The committee adjourned without fixing a time for reassembling. IBXPOETEXtS. SVntxtrtriitJtnt; PANORAWiA BUILDING, Xr,Iir"X,J3131VTlX A.jN"I OHIO -AJVIEWTTXS.
