THE TE.OTJBTJES OF ATT SING.
He In Aimv Chnrs:eI AVltli Violating
I'ustnl HeKtilntioiiN.
Ah Sing is the name of a Chinese laun
dryman who has a penchant for getting
into trouble on every possible occasion.
km who always gets the worst of it. Some
time ago lie was the recipient of a bullet
1h lite leg as & mark of esteem from his
fellow-laborers in Chinatown. Ah Sing
enjoys the cordial and universal hatred of
every celestial clothes cleanser in the Dis
trict because of the reckless way in which
he induces rates in the laundry business.
The local union of Mongolians made it
very uncomfortable for Ah Sing In the
peaceful haunts of Chinatown, and he
was forced to move across the creek.
But to the story. Just now Ah Sing is
in the meshes of the law on a charge of
sending obscene literature through the
mails. Hip Chun, the head chopstick of
the local laundryman's union, is the com
plainant. The epistle, alleged to be un
fit for publication, bears a striking re
semblance to a microbe killer chart, and
the postal authorities reel confident that
the hieroglyphics on the paper represent
expressions which, if translated into Eng
lish, would horrify members in the up
per circles of Toutvllle.
AH preliminaries for an airing of the
cbe on Saturday next were arranged by
United States Commissioner Mills and
Lawyer Sterling, attorney for Ah Sing
yesterday morning. '
Persons troubled with diarrhoea will be
interested in the experience of Mr. W. M.
Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance, Provi
dence, R. I. He says: "For several years
I have been almost a constant sufferer
from diarrhoea, the frequent attacks com
plotely prostrating me and rendering me
unfit for my duties at this hotel. About
two years ago a traveling salesman kindly
gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Much to my surprise and delight its ef
fects were Immediate. Whenever I felt
symptoms of the disease I would fortify
myself against the attack -with a few
doses of this valuable remedy. The result
lias been very satisfactory and almost
complete relief from the affliction." For

Thursday, July 11, 1S93. at 1:45 p. m.
"M. A. AUSTIN,
"Acting Major and Superintendent Met
ropolitan Police."
A meeting of the Washington Light In
fantry Corps, of which Major Moore was
commander, -was held at the armory on
Fifteenth Street last night to take action
with regard to the funeral of their late
chief. Major Burton R. Ross presided
and Lieut. Jesse Grant acted as secretary-It
was decided to attend the funeral in
a body, and every member of the corps
was requested to be at the armory to
night, when a special meeting will be
held, and the final arrangements made.
A committee,' consisting of Capt. Alli
son Nallor, jr., Lieut Birney, Lieut. Luce,
Sergt Mussey and Sergt. Ennls, was ap
pointed to draft a set of resolutions ex
pressing sorrow at the loss of the revered
commander oUhe i corps.
At a -ll-attended meeting of the Na

family of the late Col. William G. Moore,
our most sincere sympathy for them la
their bereavement, and it is further
"Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions, appropriately indorsed, be sent to
the bereaved family."
These resolutions were signed by every
member of the company present, and a
committee was appointed to see that
they were carried out.
Tihe pall bearers have not been selected
yot, but it is probablo that there will be
two members of the Loyal Legion, two
from tho Washington Light Infantry
Corps, two from Washington Command
ery, K. T., and two representatives of
the District government.
The active pall bearers will probably
be members of the police force who have
served under Major Moore for a number
of years.
William Gales Moore was born in
this city in 1S20 and received his early
education at the Rlttenhouse Academy.
On leaving school, young Moore entered
the newspaper profession, In 'which he
remained until 1S57, when lie secured a
position in connection with tho construc
tion of the aqueduct .system, on the
recommendation of Maj. Gen. Montgom
ery C. Meigs.
In 1SC1 Major Moore enlisted as a pri
vate in a local volunteer company, and
was assigned to duty at the War De
partment as secretary to the Secretary
of War. After serving a few months in
G. MOORE.
the Secretary's office, he secured an ap
pointment as assistant adjutant general
of volunteers, with rank of major, und
was later brevetted colonel. He served in
this capacity throughout the Civil War,
becoming a recognised authority on mili
tary affairs, and after the surrender of
Lee and the disbanding of the volunteer
army, he was appointed private secretary
to President Andrew Johnson.. -.ir ,
Toward the close o his administration.
President Johnson appointed Major Moore
paymaster In the army, with the rank
of major, anuae was assigned to duty in
the West.
The roving life of an army paymaster
on the plains did not suTt Major Moore,
however, and he soon resigned and re
turned to Washington, where he formed
a partnership with ex-Gov. Alex. R.
Shepherd.
In 1SS5 he was appointed major and su
perintendent of police In this city, which
position he occupied, with honor, up to
the day of hit. death. ., . ,

Constant Ilcnvy Increases of TcIIoit
Jletul nt the Treasury.
Gold is steadily accumulating in the
Treasury. The gold reserve Is growing
larger almost day hy day. On June 23
it was S16G.177.3SS, and the next day
it increased nearly $300,WO. By July 2 the
increase had amounted to 11,425,701. From
July 2 to July 6 the sum of $1,730,602 was
added to the reserve. It then aggregat
ing $159,333,091. The next day the gold re
serve was swelled by over $330,000. On
the 9th instant the net gold In the Treas
ury was $172,002,024.
Monday It decreased about $000,000,
owing to the fact that the Government
paid out some gold, but yesterday there
was a net increase of over 5SCKJJ)00.
The Assistant United States Treasurer
says that under existing conditions the
goid reserve will continue to increase as
there is plenty of currency ahd there is
no demand for gold.
FACETIOUS MR. MEAD.

telegram:
"Oklahoma, O. T., July 11.
"Secretary Long. Washington:
"Schleyly Dewej ize Emperor Bill .'f he

"MEAD."
Lieut. Whittlesey, of the Navigation
Bureau, remains at the department all
night since the war began, to get war
bulletins, and sleeps between them. When
he was aroused to receive the message
from Mr. Mead, it is but fair to assume
he had several more or less sarcastic re
marks to make about Mr, Mead and
his bump of alleged humor.

, , t-Laj'J of Camp Alper.
Camp Alger, -without doubt, is the quiet
est place in the country In these stirring
times of war. No flaring bulletins Hash
new victories or dangers to disturb the
oven tenor of the daily routine; no loud
alarums ever pass the watchful eye of
the provost guard. The very martial sur
roundings have made the circumstance of
war tame to the troops, and they merely
exist from day to day and hope to be
sent to the front.
A great army corps, -.such as is camped
here, is a sad place. The men hear the
faint booming of tho guns, m strife, they
n alize that lighting is going on, and it
galls them to He around ror months,
peacefully eating, sleeping and drilling,
while their comrades are charging the
enmy and bearing the brunt of battle.
So it has coma that life is a long, weary
burden In camp, and the aoys are loath
even to amuse themselves, liach day Is
a Sunday to them, and excitement is so
rare that they hardly recognize It when
It does hit camp.
The offlcer.s are the main attraction for
the boys at present, and then only as a
matter of envy. They see their superiors
gaudy In new uniforms, gifted with leg
ions of friends, and Jouded down with
privileges, and they strive to attain this
delicious rank wherein they, too, may be
envied by the "Tommies."
So wfch the raw-boned "rookie," who
plaintively guarded the dust on the road
In front of the "rookies' " camp yester
day. The officer of the day approached, and
tho sentry eyed him much as he would
any other Individual.
"Sir." said tho officer, "I am the officer
of the day."
"I thought you was something better
than I wuz," quoth the "rookie."
"I see you're wearin' better clothes."
Yesterday was a day of misery at camp
The air was raw and lilting and a nasty
wind hurled solid sheets of dust over ev
erything. Tents afforded no becurity, as
the continual shaking and flapping made
the conditions outside much better than
indoors. Tho past two nights have been
very raw and cold and nearly all of the
boys are complaining and praying for
warm weather again. The cavalry horses,
which are tied out ln the open day
and night, suffered from the chilly at
mosphere and they keep up a great chorus
of coughingi ' ' V " ''
The Third Brigade' returned from Its
practice march yesterday morning with
flying colors. Th? trip was a big suc
cess and no slelcncss or accidents have
been reported.
It has ben decided" to" move the Third
Brigade, which consists of the Twelfth.
Thirteenth and Efchth' Pennsylvania, to
a location on the Dunn 'Loring road, near
that place. Col. Glrard ha.s complained
that the present k'ltc is unhealthy, and
Gen. Graham, aftjdr a conference with
Gen. Gobin, has 'decided to move the
camp of the brigade., Camp will proba
bly be broken this niorhlng or tonight.
A general courtmhrtial has been ordered
to meet at First Division headquarters on
Friday morning to'trj- a number of cases.
Col. Samuel E. Welch, lr- Sixty-fifth New
York, is to be president of the court, and
First Lieut, and Adjt. Louis A. Mattes,
Thirteenth Pennsylvania, will be judge
advocates. The members of the court are.
Lieut. Col. E. B. Wattes, Eighth Penn

- Typhoid fever continues to plod along
in camp, despite the endeavors of the sur
geons to head it off. Three more cases
of tho fever were removc'V-io Fort Myer
from the First Division Hospital yester
day. The patients were Private Thomas
H. Wade, Company K, Third Virginia;
Private E. W. Davis, Company K, Eighth
Pennsylvania, and Private S. B. Swartz,
Company E, Eighth Pennsylvania.
Cases of measles are also Increasing.
There were sixty patients In one of the
wards in the First Division Hospital yes
terday. Capt. Carl Reichmann is acting adju
tant general during the absence of Col.
Roberts.
Major Laddy Is performing the duties of
corps quartermaster during the absence
of Major Howard.
Camp Alger was treated last night to
the first mounted dress parade ever wit
nessed on the grounds. The rule forbid
ding cavalry dress parades was raised,
owing to the absence of the Pennsylvania
brigade on a practice march, which left
the big main parade ground unoccupied
by Infantry, and tho three troops of Penn
sylvania cavalry were permitted to go
through the formality.
The three long lines of gray, black and
bay horses went through a number of
evolutions, and then lined up across tho
parade ground at "parade rest." The
troops made a magnificent appearance
and showed off their great strength to
advantage.
All the formalities observed In Infantry
dress parade were gone through and the
whole column passed in review before the
commander In full company front wlth
drawn sabers. The lines then formed in
to fours and marched like trained troops.
A great crowd witnessed the parade and
enjoyed the novel sight.
A detail of the Pennsylvania Cavalry Is
now doing provost guard duty along the
roads at night. They prove of great
value in corraling soldiers who refuse to
return to camp.
A novel blacksmith shop has been
erected at the rear of he Pennsylvania
Cavalry camp and the horseshoer at
tached to the squad keeps things In
shape around the horses' feet.

day morning last. Thq audience was pri
vate, and Mrs. Henry White, wjfe of the
first secretary of tho American embas
sy, made the presentation. During the
Interview the queen expressed a gracious
Interest in airs. Johnston's visit to Eng
land, and in alluding to the war, hoped
that peace would soon be restored. Her
majesty also referred feelingly to the
cordial reception accorded the Prince of
Wales on his first visit to Washington,
when Mrs. Johnston, at that time Miss
Lane, did the honors of the Executive
Mansion for her uncle. President Buch
anan. Mrs. Johnston naturally appreciated
the exceptional honor conferred upon her
and was pleased to ?galn meet the queen,
to whom she was formally presented year3
ago when Mr. Buchanan was tho Amer
ican minister to the Court of St. James.
This signal compliment, is being con
strued In court circles as a demonstra
tion on the queen's part of her friendli
ness towards the United States, which,
it i3 understood, was suggested by the
Princo of Wales.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also
received Mrs. Johnston before her de
parture for London.
The queen's reference to the visit of the
prince recalls the fact that at that way
back time It was just before the Civil
War Mrs. Johnston was famous at home
and abroad as "lovely Harriet Lane."
Amateur photography and newspaper
cuts were undiscovered powers In those
days, so that the beauty of "the first lady
in the land" was not as familiar to the
world and his wife as are the charms of
the society maids of today. For all that,
however, there were few residents of the
capital who did not know, either by see
ing or at second hand, that the Presi
dent's niece had chestnut curls that
flashed gold in the sunlight, glorious dark
eyes, and a complexion of milk and car
nations. She wa3 gracefully tall and
slender, and one of her girlisn whims In
dress, despite the decollete fashion of the
time, was nearly always to wear bodices
cut high. Even at the English court she
was noted for her beauty, and the social
chroniclers of -those times ceclared that it
was not the fault of a certain stataly
British eer that she returned to this
country Miss Lane.
The Prince of "Wales was a slender
youth in those days, shy almost to awk
wardness, and apparently hopelessly ad
dicted to blushing. Oh, the changes of
time!
lie went home honestly delighted, and
has kept the memory of our hospitality so
green in his heart all these years that
nowadays he never fails to say to the
Americans he meets that his visit to this
country is one of the ploasantest recol
lections of his youth.

THINGS THEATRICAL.
Columiiln "The 3Uj;Iit- Dullnr."
During its season of eight weeks the
Columbia Stock Company has presented
nothing that has appealed so thoroughly
to the popular taste as "The Mighty Do1
lar." That this is true speaks only
against public appreciation of the really
artistic, for the entire engagement has
produced no offering of so little worth.
Originally a play of important serious in
terest, the more important parts have
been so remorselessly cut down in order
to add to those of the Hon. Bardwell
Slote and Mrs. Gen. GUSory that "The
Mighty Dollar" is at present a mere bur
lesque, filled with horseplay that is only
made more distressing by the confusing
efforts of the adapter to retain the main,
portion of a primary story- The pre
sentation, while not as rough and un
gainly as it appeared a month ago. 13
hardly deserving of great praise. Mr.
Barrows continues to be an amusing Mr.
Slote. though his methods of fun-makn?
are Inclined to be questionable. He ges
all there Is from the role, however, not
even slighting chances for an excellent
make-up. Mrs. Findlay fully realizes ideas
of her inamorata. Mr. Ingersoll.Miss Has
Iam and Miss Browning roam through
their lines with ability that is remarka
ble when it is considered that they can
have no more knowledge of what they
are talking than has the audience, while
Edward Mackay does his best with an
unwieldy English nobleman, and John
Lancaster gives a striking performance
of his old part. Miss Wilberham's "Lib
by, dear," does not compare, either fa
vorably or otherwise, with that of M133
Mayo, but is generally pretty and grace
ful, while J. R. Furlong Is a good Dart,
and Miss McLean, with Messrs. Ball and
Bass, appear to advantage in smaller
roles. "Esmeralda" will be the bill to
night and at the Saturday matinee.
Ornnd Ilenefit for District Volan-
tftTH.
For the first time in many moons the
illuminated sign of the Grand Opera
House blazed forth in all lt3 glory last
night, bringing- Information to the wary
of an entertainment within. The precise
nature of the performance, however, did
not concern moons so much as stars
with a few stripes for good measure. In
other words, the occasion was a benefit
tendered by the Columbia Opera and Dra
matic Club for the enlargement of the
District Volunteer Relief Fund.
Local patriots turned out largely, and
the big theater was well filled. Whether
the house had come for the purpose of
being amused or of helping the brave boys
at the front, the number of arrivals seem
ed unlimited and a line that formed In
front of the box office window before the
doors were opened had not been broken
up to the fail of the first curtain. The
performance offered varied forms of en
tertainment, and the players, for the most
part, did remarkably well considering dif
ficulties. The show began with a presentation of
"A Mouse Trap," a one-act sketch ac
credited to Mrs. Burton Harrison, but
the idea of which had evidently been
taken from William Dean Howells's work
of the same name. In Us Interpretation
Bessie Stewart and Edward E. Muth
were seen to advantage, the former giv
ing a winsome portrayal of an ingenue
role, while the latter burlesqued a mora
dignified one in a thoroughly humorous
way. The Truxedos followed, playing one
of Sousa's marches most acceptably, and
Gertrude Peach executed the "Mazurka
Hongrolse" on the piano in a manner that
showed technique and natural adapta
bility. Her fingering was especially
good and provoked no little comment
from those who were sufficiently near
the stage to notice it. Mabel Glffin and
P. J. Rollow filled In the remainder of the
vaudeville bill enjoyably.
The opera elected to end the perform
ance, "A New Year's Reception." proved
to be catchy and langRabte. if a trifle
rough and smateurish in its construction.
Bessie Stewart. Hattie Hunter-Smith. -Ms.
George Lawrence, Rebecca Mont

Mabel Giffin. P. J. Rollow, Henry Mil
ler, Carl Davis, Walter Eislnger, George

the creditable cast which presented the
piece, while Marie Becker, Mr. Lawrence
and Miss Stewart acted as auxiliaries.
There were a number or pretty airs in the
opera, nctably "Barry Hall, the Masher."
"We'll Meet Again," "Xo Cloud Without
a Silver Lining," and "Does it Pay," all
of which were well rendered. The entire
benefit was really pleasurable and the
proceeds will probably add largely to the
sum collected for the purpose of helping
our soldier boys.
