Ten of the Dead ldentifiad Were Strangers in City on Visit to Live Stock Show. Mother With Child Jumps From Window to Adjoin ing Roof—Ten Injured, None Seriously. Flames Did Not Reach the Rooms of Dead—Suffocat ed Without Awakening to Consciousness. CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Fourteen bodies of persons who were suffocated in a fire at 5:56 o'clock this morning at the Lincoln Hotel in Madison Street await identifica tion at the morgue and undertaking es tablishments. Nearly all of them are believed to be persons that were here to attend the live stock show. 5 Ten injured guests of the hotel are at the hospitals suffering from hurts received by jumping from windows of the burning building to the roofs of al joining structuges.

List of Injured. The injured are: R. C. Hamilton, a stock raiser from Lebanon, Ind. W. J. Thomas, a mail elerk, employed on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. A. 8. Haines, Fairmognt, Ind.

Jumped From Window. Mrs. Sheppard jumped from the tiird story of the hotel to the roof of a res taurant in an adjoining building, with her child Fred in her arms. She may have sustained internal injuries. All those who met death were gi their rooms, but clouds of smoke poured into the sleeping apartments, and those within them either died without awaken ing or were afterward suffocated before they could escape. Most of the bodies were found in bed, indicating that con sciousness of the appalling situation never reached them. When the bodies were removed to the sidewalk" by firemen and policemen, they were examined for purposes of identifi cation, The victims were sirangers, however, and the hotel clerks could not recognize them. ‘The fire originated between the sec end and third floors from an unknown cause. The building was heated by steam and stoves. Electricity and gas were used for illumination. It is sup posed a guest left a gas jet open and the escaping gas igaited. Patronized by Farmers. The hotel was patronized by farmers and visitors from the courtry. Last «night 120 guests were registered. The rooms were filled and cots were placed in extra rooms and hallways to furnish sleeping accommodations.

IN CRITICAL CONDITION Symptoms of Bright's Disease Appear in Today's Diag nosis of Case of Distinguished Statesman. The condition of ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, who was taken ill Tuesday, ‘'s regarded by his physicians as very criti cal, owing to the complication of ail ments from which he is suffering. 't is uhderstood that for some time Mr. Reed has been afflicted with Bright's disease. His doctors today admitted that a trouble in his kidneys has manifested itself that threatens to be more trouble some than the appendicitis. Mrs. Reed and her daughter are now at the Arling ton, where Mr. Reed has apartments, in constant attendance upon him. The pos sibility of an operation has not been broached to the patient, because the ph sicians hope it may not be necessary. Dr. T. L. MacDonald, consulting sur geon in the case, sald after visitine Mr Reed this morning: “Mr. Reed's condition is ecritical—that APPREHENSION OVER VENEZUELAN SITUATION No Assurances of NonViola tion of Monroe Doctrine. GERMANY NON-COMMITTAL Will Not Guarantee That Seizure of South American Territory Will Not Continue Indefinitely. That both Germany and the State De partment are perturbed by the ap proaching situation in Venezuela, despite repeated assurances that a thorough understanding exists between the two nations regarding the extent of Ger many's coercion in effort. to collect her debts, is manifested by the daily calls of Herr von Holieben upon Secretary Hay, the length of their conferences and consultations with Senators upon the same subject. Ever since the appearance in this city of Isaac N. Seligman of New York, coincident with the first actual move made by Germany and Great Britain toward sending an armed force to Venezuelan waters these gatherings and discussions have been frequent. Germany Non-Committal. Although the State Depertment has in ‘formed Germany and Great Britain that a display of force or the seizure of Venezuelan customs houses would not be considered here as even a construec tive violation of the Monroe Doctrine, still this Government is seeking an ex act definition of the extent to which the joint action may proceed, and a guar antee that possession of Venezuelan soil will not continue beyond a stated period. Ambassador von Hollebey is not yet in a position to give these assurances, ner is it at all certain that his govern ment will consent to be 30 circum scribed since knowledge of their exist ence would necessarily operate against collection from Castro. It is likely, however, that before the joint fleet takes any radical steps some under standing will be reached satisfactory to the United States. “CASTRO'S ‘SWELLED HEAD’ DUE TO CLEVELAND” Pinehurst—Southern Pines via Sea Board Air Line.

BULLET HOLE IN HIS HEAD No Apparent Motive for Deed—Body Discovered by Night Watch man This Morning. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4 Howard T. Goodwin, young, wealthy and head clerk of the firm of Cassatt Co., bankers and brokers, was found dead in the of fices of the company in the Arcade build ing. His body was discovered by a night watchman, at 1:30 this morning. A bullet hole in his head and a re volver held in Mis stiffened right hand pointed to suicide. The police admit, however, that the case is a mysterious one, and a dozen detectives are now at work upon it. No Known Motive. Goodwin was about thirty-two years old and lived at Ridley Park in a hand some country place. There was no ap parent motive for the deed. About 1 o’'clogk this morning Edward T. Woodward, the watchman employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad, in making his rounds, discovered a door unlocked leading into the office of (he banking firm of Cassatt Co. This firm oc cupies the entire second floor on the south side of the buidling. The waichman entered the office and turned on the electric lights. He found the body of a man lying on a leather covered couch. Im ome hand the dead man clutched a revolver, the other hung limply to the floor. A stream of blood was irickling dows from a bullet hole in the Jeft temple. The Police Summoned. Without Asebtug the body Wood the Twentieth afl ren Streets station house.

A gold watch, a fob, and a pair of link cuff but tons each bore the initials “H. T. G.” A roll of bank notes aggregating $1% also was found in the dead man’s pock ois, Among the papers found were several blank checks and receipted bills, each of which bore the heading “Cassat’ Co." Goodwin was treasurer of the Colum bia Coal Mining Co., and for twenty-five years confidential clerk of Cassa’t Co. He enjoyed perfect health, and his re lations with his wife and child in their home at Ridley Park are described as ideal. There appears absolutely no reason why Mr. Goedwig should have taken his own life, Mr. Thomas, manager of Cassatt Co., confirms this view by stating that Mr Goodwin's accounts with the firm are in perfect order. Coroner Dugan states that he can find nothing to ex- plain the suicide. A revolver found in Mr. Goodwin's f

right hand has led the police to ad-. vance the theory of suicide. The inti mate friends of the dead man refuse to accep! this view of the case and they state openly that they suspect foul play. They point out that it would be an vans) task for a murderer wishing to avert suspicion to place the revolver in the hand of the vietim. J. GO. Kerbaugh, a brother-in-law of Mr. Goodwin, went early to ihe morgue today to identify Mr. Goodwin's body and arrange for its removal. He does not believe Goodwin is a suicide.

CLOSE FIGHT PROMISED OVER STATEHGOD BILL Those Who Would crease Number of Old Glory’ s Stars Grow Confident. yr RT wo BAER AN While there may be more impertant episodes in national lawmaking at this session of Congress, there will be none more interesting than the Territorial fight for Statehood. The advocates of the proposition to add three stars to the American flag do not seem to have lost either courage or vitality, and, with an alliance of Eastern statesmen like Senators Quay and Elkins, they promise at least to come near the mark of suec cess in their ambition to create new States When the omnibus Statehood bill is taken up by the Senate on December 11, the lines will have been even more ciose ly drawn than at present, and the af firmative side will be ready for vigorous fray. Senator Elkins is said to be one of the unswerving and quiet champions of the pill which proposes the admission of Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, and Indian Territory into the Union. Like the people of the West who have de voted and are devoting heart and soul to the general cause, he believes, it is said, in the omuibus proposition. And it was noticeable yesterday that the re hort of au amended measure ht he orm ARMY PROMOTION AGT GONSTRUED BY ROOT Law Intended to Benefit En listed Men. The Secretary of War-has rendered a decision which will have a far-reaching effect upon the appointment of eniisted men as second lieutenants. The Secretary holds that it was not the intent of Congress to include at tendance as a cadet at the United States Military Academy as any part of the twg years’ service which is necessary to entitle an enlisted man to compete for promotion. He is of the opinion that the act of July 30, 1892, in providing that soldiers who have served honorably not less than two years in the army may compete for promotion refers to the en listed service only. The law was designed to benefit the enlisted men of the army. Secretary Root says, and not the young men who for any cause have been dropped from their West Point classes before the end of the course. QUARELL OVER WOMAN MAY END FATALLY

Albert Tripp Receives Probably Mortal Wound in Shooting Affray. PORTLAND, Me., Dec. 4.—A probably fatal shooting affray occurred Tuesday night at the home of Humphrey May. a farmer, in the little settlement of West Gloucester, about thirty miles from this city. The victim was Albert Tripp, who re ceived a pistol ball in the abdomen from a weapon fired by Edward D. Wing. Both are young men and the trouble ‘s said to have arisen over a woman. Wing escaped and a posse is in pursuit of him. EDICT OF PRESIDENT AGAINST FRENCH BISHOPS Decree: Declares They Abused Rights in Petition to Legislaters. PARIS, Dec. 4,—The President in a decree issued today declares that the recent petition of the French bishops to members of the legislature, in which the law of associations was discussed at length and return to the principles of the concordat advised, constituted an abuse of their rights. It is reported that Prime Minister Combes will suspend the stipends of the Archbishop of Besancon and the Bishops of Nice, Amiens and Orleans. plan was accepted by the friends of Western progress only as another evi dence of weakening onposition. Senator Elkins’ exhibition of power at the last session of Congress, when the reciprocity measure was at issue and in conflict with beet sugar interests. com manded a deal of attention and resulted in a lasting respect. Therefore, his alignment with the supporters of the Statehood measure means an acquisition to be feared by its opponents, espec ally ir company with that of Senator Quay. It was said at the Capitol today and by one who has closely followed the trend of the Statehood battle that the leading advocates of th: omnibus meas ure feel absolutely confident of sue cesa. While they are not willing to make a forecast of the Senate vote by individu als, they are free in asserting that the substitute, giving only Oklahoma and Indian Territory the dignity of State hood, will not become a law, and the general measure will receive the appro bation of both branch»s of Congress. They predict ihat in the Senate the bill will have from fifty fo fifty-three COMMISSIONER! OPPOSE GRANGE IN CONDUIT LAW Make Adverse Report on Sen ate Resolution No. 81. The District Commissioners today for warded to Representative J. W.

That report suggested several verbal amendments to the resolution. NO BARGAIN MADE BY ENGLAND WITH FRANCE Newfoundland and New Hebrides Claim Not to Be Exchanged for Moroc co Concessions. LONDON, Dec. 4 —Lord Cranbourne, Parliamentary secretary to the foreiga office, replying to a pariiamentary ques tion yesterday, said there is no truth in the report that Newfoundland and other outstanding questions between France and England have been settled by mu tual concessions. Fhe report that a rapprochement had been arranged between England and France was published a week ago. Ac cording to the report France agreed to relinquish all claims in Newfoundland and the New Hebrides, and to further the settlement of Anglo-Russian difficul ties, with the understanding that Eng land would allow her a free hand in Morocco and Ceuta. SAGASTA AGAIN RESIGNS AS PREMIER Declares to the King That His De cision Is Irrevocable. MADRID, Dec, 4.—Premier Sagasta to day handed his resignation to King Alfonso. The retiring premier stated that his decision to relinouish his pori folio was irrevocable. No reason for the resignation has heen made public, but it is stated on semi official zithority that it is a result of the motirn of censure against the min ister of marine passed in the chamber of deputies yesterday. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.—In promis ing Thomas W. Smrith and the members of the Washington coal committee a greater supply of coal from now on the Reading officials said that the mining and distribution or coal had ceased to be a matter of business purely and wag being dealt with according to the dice tates of humanity. “We are straining every effort to re= lieve the situation znd could do no more if we were receiving twice the price we are asking for our Qroduct. If we wera controlled in quoting prices by the law of supply and demand there is no tell in where the price of coal would soar. “Washington has been receiving soma= thing less than her full quota of coal because of the scar:ity of cars, but from now on we will ship at least fifty cars of coal to the nauon’s Capital daily. We will also make up the amount that she shouid have received in the past and in crease shipments as rapidly as possible. The normal shipment to Washington is seventy-five cars a day. Ft will be three moaths before we reach that mark, and coal will be scaree all winter. “l was informed this morning by our first vice president that, owing to the shortage of bituminous coal he would ba compelled to seize that consigned lo other parties to keep the traffic ugless we w supplied him ith the coal a hada Shade Ja dn F bd ass This, in brief, is the statement mi vesterday to the members of the Wash~ ington committee composed of Thomas W. Smith, William F. Gude, and Wilton J. Lambert, by C. E. Henderson, second vice president of the Reading Railroad and general manager of the Reading Coal and Iron Company. Mr. Henderson extended every consideration to the vis itors, but said he was daily receiving delegations from all of the big cities, each of which is in equally as bad con. diticn as Washiazton. The committee arrived from Washing ton at 11:30 o'clock and went at once te the offices of L. V. Ryder, sales agent of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, who was awaiting them by appointment. Mr. Ryder said his company had not. beem sending any great amount of coal te Washington for three years. Shipments were suspended because of the difficulty experienced in having cars promptly re turned. Supplying ezly their own points they were able to carry twice the prod uct from the mines they would be able te if they permitied their cars te go to points on foreign lines, In consideration of the fact that they had not been shipping to Washington for several years they did not think they could resume shipments while the de mand on their own lines exceeded their output. This demand cannot be met this winter and there would necessarily be much suffering. The committee visited C. C. Coughlin, ity and Southern sales agent of the Reading Coal anc Iron Company, whose office is in the Reading Terminal. Mr. Coughlin escorted them to the office of Mr. Henderson, who received them in ‘he board room. The conference last ed an bour and a half. Thomas W. Smith, acting as spokes man for the committee, introduced the subject by describing the alarming con dition of affairs in Washington. He told of the 50,000 homes with their 70, 000 families whose suffering would be in tense unless a vast amount of coal was received between now and Christmas. “If ticere is anything the citizens can do, il there is anything that money can do to relieve the situatign, we stand ready to do it,” Mr. Smith said. “It is not a question of price; it is 2 matter solely of securing coal.” “In this connection,” Mr. Smith cen tinued. ‘we wish to state that we and our citizens, deenly foel the kindly sen timents expressed by Mr. Baer for Washington, and to extend to him our thanks for the consideration he has shown us and for his endeavor to pra vent an excessive selling price for coal” In reply Mr. Henderson said: ‘“%ae thoroughly appreciate the situation im which you and the people of Washing ton find yourselves.

HUMANITY, NOT BUSINESS. CONTROLS OUTPUT OF COAL 9 J ¥77 said concerning Washington is equally true of Baltimore. It might be more vigorously expressed as to Boston, which ifs in a much more serious condition. There is not enough coal to supply the country. We will not accept a higher price than will permit it to retailed in Washington at $7.20. None of your deal ers with whom we are doing business or have been doing business have failed to sign the agreement. They did it willing ly. recognizing the equity and justic of our request. In Need of Coal. “The entire question is one of having the coal to ship. We must equitably distribute what we have, and we are en deavoring te do so. “The demands for anthracite by the transportation companies is unprece dented. They are unable to secure enough bituminous coal to move their traffic, and are compelled to take anything they can get, even if it is necessary to seize cars of coal on the sidings. The roads are choked with trafic. “Washington has had a little less than its proper supply of coal. We did not have cars enough to meet the demand It became necessary for those we had to be operated only on our own line or for the collieries to shut down. In fact, several did shut down. It was accord ingly ordered that no cars be permitted to go off our road. It is to your interes: as well as ours that the coal output should be as large as possible. No em bargo has existed at any time against Washington. The restricted Reading car movement has applied to all territory not immediately on the line of the Read ing road. Despite this, coal has been forwarded to the city, the records show ing 47 cars on November 27; November 28, 34; November 29. 47; November 30 61; December 1, 60; December 2, 20 cars. and today there are oven 40 cars loading for Washingion. EE REE i Price Not Questioned. “Your dealers have not questioned the retail price as fixed by this company in an effort to protect the public. All of the fifty or sixty dealers with whom we have been in the habit of dealing di rectly and indirectly have signed the agreement to sell our coal at $7.25. We charge them $3.75 at the mines, and the freight to Wa hington is $2. We, of course, cannot fix the price at which they shall sell other coal as long as we are unable to supply them with all they

_ heed to supply their customers. Several dealers have asked if we object to their buying from other collieries and our in variable reply has been we'll be much obliged to you if you will. Such pur chases but assist in relieving the situ ation. “The underlying cause of the trouble is the lack of coal. We are doing our utmost increase our output. Added to the shortage is the lack of cars in which 0 'move that which we have. We are g by both the Baltimore and Ohio 3 ‘by ‘he Pennsylvania Railroad, and experience no difficulty in getting our cars through. ada ify the close of the strike there was a shortage of 24,000,000 tons. When operations were resumed the mines were filled with water, timbers had rotted and many gangways caved in. It will be three months before we reach our nor mali output. In the Wyoming section of the Pennsylvania we understand an em bargo exists as to all points because of congested traffic.” In response to a question Mr. Hender son said that all the coal they could Jet Washington have could be sent direct by rail without the necessity of resoriing to water transportation from tidewater points. Fifty cars a day, he added, means about 1,200 tons. The nor mal winter consumption of the city ie about 2,000 tons. In case of severe weather that amount fis sometimes doubled. I 4

t by “J. Maury Dove handles about 80,000 tons of coal a year. Every week he ‘has visited this office and used every argument to secure larger shipments than we have been able to give him,” Mr. Henderson concluded. Thomas W. Smith stated that he was fuformed that J. Maury Dove had 4,00 orders on his books which he was un able to fill. Continuing, Mr. Smith said: “if my information is correct, the deal ers are taking orders only from their regular customers and there is a large population that has no one to whom te look for coal. Some of our business mer have agreed to form a syndicate to buy coal to supply these people. Will you Jet us have ten carloads of coal a day for that purpose?” 91 “Where will we get the coal from?” Mr. Henderson replied. “By taking it from the dealers? I hardly think that we could undertake guch a measure.” t Mr. Smith then took up the needs of the poor and expiained the joint work ings of the Associated Charities and the Citizens’ relief committee, the first in vestigating applications for aid and the latter supplying relief where possible He said that John Joy Edson, of the re Hef committee, had informed him that they had been unable to secure'the coal which they usually bought through the local dealers. He asked that a supply of coal be sold to the committee to meet ‘the needs of the poor. 3 so 8 bs. i 3 di

Mr. Henderson replied that there were many questions to be considered in con pection with such a step, as to the un leading and distr bution of the coal, ete. While he was prepared to co-operate in every way possible to secure the re quired relief, he thought the results cola best be attained through a confer ence between Secretary Charles F. Wel ler, of the Associated Charities, and Mr. Lownesbury, the Washington agent of thé Reading Cos! Company. He said he would request Mr. Lownesbury to call on Mr, Weller and report as to the most

Mr. Baer was not in, but an appointment! was made for 4 o'clock. It was the purp we of the committee to pay its respects to Mr. Baer, but their other investigations pre vented them from returning in time to keep their appointment. The lake shipments, so far as the Reading Company is concerned, have not been large, and their suspension because of the close of the transportation on the lakes will not materially affect the local market. Ready to Transport Coal. J. G. Searles, the coal freight agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was next visited. He said that his road was ready to transport coal to any point on its lines that the shippers might direct. “Our ‘business, from which we derive our liv ing, is the transportation of commodities, and we would certainly not discourage ‘shipments of any kind,” he said. “The railroad has control of only three mining companies, with a eapacity of but 10 per cent of the total anthracite output. These companies are the Susquehanna Coal Company, the Mineral Railroad and Mining Company, and the Summit Branch Mining Company. “The entire cutput of these mines is be ing distributed in as equitable a manner as possible. J. Hillis and a Baltimore company are the sales agents for the Monumental City and points South. All records of distribution are kept by them. The home office only directs the shipment of so many cars to Hillis Co., and they distribute as they see fit. Falling Off in Quantity. i “We receive coal from the Lehigh Val ley Railroad and from the Central Rail road of New Jersey at Philipsburg June tion for distribution along our lines, but there has been a marked falling off in the 3 sent over our lines from these roads. Formerly they sought a market over our lines, but now they are not able to meet the demands along their own roads. Tho Pennsylvania Company does not produce c¢nough coal at any time to supply its own dependent towns and cities, and the withdrawal ‘ae ship ments from the other roads has been of a most serious nature, “We are ever abandoning our usual trade in Philadelphia, as that city can secure coal from the Reading. The IMMIGRATION BILL PUTS TAX OF $3 ON ALIENS X Money Thus Collected to Constitute a Permanent Appropriation to Be Known as the “Immigrant Fund.”

1k Duty Imposed by the Gov ernment Shall Be a Lien Upon the Vessel of Com pany Transporting the Foreigner. The immigration bill, which is now under consideration by the Senate, provides that a duty of $3 shall be paid for every passenger not a citizen of the United States, Dominion of Canada, Cuba, Mexico, or a bona fide resident of these countries for one year continuously prior to application for ad mission, who shall come by steam, sail, or other vessel from any foreign port to any port within the United States or by any railway or any other mode of trans portation from foreign contiguous terri tory to the United States. The duty is Lue paid to the collector of customs in the port or customs district to which the alien passenger comes by the mas ter, agent, owner, or consignee of every such vessel or transportation line. Money thus collected is to constitute a permanent appropriation, to be called the “immigration fund.” This fund is to be used under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury to defray the cxpense of regulating Immigration. The duty imposed shall be a lien upon the vessel or the property of the trans portation line which brings aliens to the United States. The Commissioner Gen eral of Immigration, under the direc tion of the Secretary of the Treasury, by agreement with transportation lines, may, however, arrange the manner for payment of the duty imposed on railway and other transportation lines bringing aliens from Canada, Mexico, or Cuba. Those to Be Excluded, The classes of immigrants ta be ex cluded from the United States include: Idiots, insane persons, epileptics, and persons who have been insane within five years previous; persons who have had two or more attacks of insanity at any time previously; paupers; per sons likely to become afflicted with a loathsome or a dangerous disease; per sons who have been convicted of a fel ony or other crime or misdemeanor in volving moral turpitude; polygamists, anarchists, or persons who believe in or advocate the overthrow by force or violence of all government or of all forms of law, or the assassina:ion of public officials; persons whose migra tion to the United States has been in duced by offers or agreements of any kind of labor or work in this country. Nothing fn the act shall exclude per sons convicted of an offense purely political, not involving moral turpitude. Skilled labor may be imported, if labor of the like kind unemployed cannot be found in this country. The provisions of the act applicable to contract labor shail not be held to THE WASHINGTON TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4. 1902. 2 company is sending every ton available to the small cities and towns along our line that are entirely dependent upon us. What coal is delivered te us by the Reading reaches cur line at Thurlow. Our supply of cars is limited and is only sufficient to move the output of our mines. The car supply, however, is fairly good and the trouble is due to the inability of the mines to turn out erough coal to meet the demand. Unable to Handle Supply. “There is as great a shortage of bi tuminous coal as cf anthracite, owing to the inability of the roads to handie that offered. The Pennsylvania Rail rosd has been compelied to confiscate car after car of bituminous coal on its tracks to keep their locomotives mov ing. All contracts are being filled at the old price and, indeed, the exorbitant prices are due entirely to speculators. The shippers are holding to the oid price. “Bituminous cecal that was formerly selling for $2 or $225 has recently been bringing as high as $12 in some mar kets. The freight rate for coal from the mines to Washington and Baltimore is only 20 cents a ton more than it is tv Philadelphia. I believe Johnson Bros are the exclusive handlers of our coal in Washington.” Mr. Perrine, of James Boyd Co., whe was next visited, acknowledged that Washington had been getting the littl end of the coal distribution, but he knew of no way to afford relief. Boy Co. are thePhiladelphia distributors of the Pennsylvania Railroad mines, Reading Offers Relief.

Charles D. Norton, of Charles D. Nor: ton Co., was also visited by the com. mittee. This firm has been making shipments to Charles Werner, V. Bald. win Johnson, the Alleghany Compan) and others. Mr. Norton stated that i there was no difficulty in making ship. ments to Washington, the Reading woul furnish the cars needed.

“We had eleven car loads moved 1 tidewater yesterday,” he continued “that we wanted sent to Washington but the cars had to be returned to th mines. Our sales agents have been sen into the coal regions to buy all they ea and we have paid as high as 37 a ton a the mines.” After several ineffectual efforts to ses other independent operators the com mittee returned to Washington on ar evening train.

BERLIN EAGER T0 SECURE THE OLYMPIAN GAMES Chicago and St. Louis Both May Lose Honor. CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Berlin may get the Olympian games. This is the latest phase of the complication which arose when St. Louis asked that the contests be transferred to that city from Chicago for 1904, y Berlin, with Copenhagen and one or two other European cities, was a strong bidder for the games when their location was decided on in Par's. President Harry J. Furber, jr., presi dent of the games, when questioned in regard to the matter, said that Berlin's anxiety for the games was a danger which really threatened the American interests in the contests—St. Louis as well as Chicago. “Berlin wanted the games of 1904," said Mr. Furber, “and presented strong reasons why they should be given to it. Indeed the city was only conciiiated at the time they were given to Chicago when given to understand that the Ger man city would be given a fair chance to get them four years later.” It is stated that $100,000 shall be used in case of the destruction of the Naw National, and $75,000 for the Academy of Music. The plans of any new building are to be prepared under the direction of William H. Rapley. Upon the death of the latter, it is directed that the man agement of the theaters devolve upon Edward Everett Rapley. It is further directed that all the rents from the real estate of the testator shall be collected by William H. Rapley, with out commission, and divided in the same way as the income from the theaters. The remainder of his estate is left to his four children for life. William H. Rapley and the American Security and Trust Company are named as executors of the will. YANGER AND SULLIVAN 0 BATTLE IN CHICAGO CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Benny Yanger and Dave Sullivan reached an agreement yesterday and will engage in a six-round bout on a date to be chosen later, be tween December 16 and December 22. Both agreed to accept Fred Whitting ham, of Chicago, as referee.

The Court of Appeals late yesterday afternoon affirmed the decision of the lat Justice Bradley of the Supreme Court of the District, granting the peti tions of the National Publication Com= ‘pany and the Railway List Company for writs of mandamus to issue against the Postmaster General to compel him to admit their respective zuolications to the United States mail as second class matter. Tae decision of Justice Barnard, who ‘refused to grant the petition of the Chi cago Business College for a similar pur pose against the Postmaster General, was also affirmed by the Court of Appeals. These are the most important cases which have heen decided in the local ‘courts for a long time. The decisions in the National Railway Pubii~ation Company and the Railway List Corapany affects 287 similar suits againm the Government and thousands of similar institutioms. It is estimated that the loss to the Government by the admission of these publications as sec~ ond class matter will amount to several hundreds of thousands of dollars an nually. From wha' wae learned it is arobables an appeal wil be taken by the Govern ment to the Supreme Court of the. United States, The decision was made by Chief Justice Alvey and Justice Morris. Justice Shep ard dissented in both the National Rail way Publicatin™ Company and the Rail. way List Company. In these cases the ground- upon which the judgment of the lower court was affirmed is that the reg ulation of the Postoffice Department of Juiy 17, 1901, in so far as it requires pub lications to be wuniy such as consist of curtent news or miscellaneous literary matter, is in excess of the statute i regu lating the matter In the case of the Chicago Business College it is heid that its publication, “Business Education,” does not come within the class of matter entitled to sec- 4 ond-class rates in the mail. It is held” that the Chicago Business College is an institution for private gain, and dees not come within lie requirements of the act of July 16, 1864, which allowed the pub lications of charitable and organizaticns for free education to be entered as see- 4 ond class matter. At the hearing it was aot shown tbat the Chicago Business: College is a regularly incorporated insti tution within the meaning of the act.

SECRETARY WILSON ON PRODUCTIONS OF SOIL

Makes Annuil Report to the President -n Work of De partment of Agriculture for Year Ended November 29

bn Covers Studies of All Divi sions and Makes Many Recommendations of In terest to Commerce. AEAENISA VL Asi ituitwaT, alta voOoyvelin ber 29, was today submitted to the Pres ident and will be ‘sent to Congress for the use of that body in the enactment of laws and the making o appropria tions necessary to carry on .his impor tant department of public work. The Secretary opens his report with a reference to the edu ztional work of the department, which he says has grown in effectiveness since his last an nual report. He finds that the demands of many public institutions for men to conduct research in scientific fields and for ability to manage agricultural en terprises encourage young men to take advantage of the opportunities thus af forded. He says the teaching of the science of agriculture and of the sciences relating to it are receiving more attention in the colleges instituted for the purpose, many of which have neglected their full duty in the past. Continuing, he gives an idea of the Jmportance of new lines of department "work, devoting some space to the search of the explorers of the Old World for valuable plants which may be trans planted here. The purpose is to help in the production in this country of every thing that soil and climate will permit. A summary of the report, with some of the pertinent expressions of the Sec retary, follows: Department Appropriations. “The Secretary reports the appropri ations for his department for the cur rent fiscal rear at $4,503,960, exclusive of the general printing expenses and of the appropriations for the State agricul tural experiment stations. “The records of the office of the ap pointment clerk show that on July 1, 3902, the total number of employes in the department was 3,789. Of these, 1,209 were in the administrative class, 2081 in the scientific class, and 499 were la borers and charwomen. The appoint ments made on certificate of the Civil Service Commission numbered 305, and there were 108 resignations, 22 removals, and 14 deaths.” La s Last year $12,600 was paid in rent for buildings. The annual rentals will now aggregate $21,700. It would be business “policy to erect buildings adejuate to fu 4: tare ‘needs. i Forecast warnings of the Weather gol have been invaluable in saving life id property. The Secretary urges the desirability of extending the distribution of daily forecasts coextensively with the “rural free delivery. He estimates the “eost of serving the 10,000 routes exist ing August 1 at $100,000. Progress reported in wireless tel egraphy will not yet justify the depart ment in dispensing with its coast ‘telegraph and cable lines. ~The value of exports of animals and animal productions for the year amount ed to $244,733,062. There were inspected and admitted from Mexico over 65,000 cattle, and fully 6,000 sheep, lambs, and goats, Importa tions from Canada of cattle numbered only 27,716. We imported from that country 148.213 sheep. The strictest quarantine is maintained at the ports on the sea coast in order to prevent the introduction of animal plagues. Experimental exports of dairy pro ducts have been made to Japan, China, Cuba, znd Porto Rico. Results, how ever, encourage further cultivation of the markets of Japan. Farm Management. The Secretary reports the establish ment within the Bureau of Plant Indus try of an office of farm management. He announces its object as “The bringing together in concrete form of all the facts developed in the Burehu as a whole, sifting the results, and applying them in a practical way where they will do the most good.” The Secretary proposes to send an experienced man to one or more of the most promising foreign markets to study prevailing conditions and to secure and “handle experimental shipments, noting all conditions which have a bearing upon ‘the results. If sufficient funds are available, tunis work will be inaugurated forthcoming year in a limited way. The losses to sheep owners on the great stock ranges of the Northwest from poisonous plants aggregate an nually $400,000. The study of these pol sonous plants has developed an anti _dote for some of them, not only effective but which can be rapidly applied. American Tea Growing. The work on the growing of American tea was continued during the year at Pinehurst, nea: Summerville, 8. CC. There are now about one hundred acres in tea gardens. The yield of tea in| these gardens last year was about 4,500 pounds and this year will be about 9,000 pounds of marketable tea. A tea farm will be established in Texas, if suitable land and co-operation can be secure. Plant diseases and methods of check ing them, the need of better kinds of cotton and wheat, the inspection of grain, the merits of red clover in Amer- fea, Porto Rican fruit productions, Guatemalan coffees, the study of ques- tions on pomology, grasses and forest plants, and collections of plants for study; distribution of seeds by mem bers of Congress, introduction of valu- able sceds and plants from foreign RRR dead all ttt tote Phat uae. mer ii AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATE!

The War Deparmtent will organize a soil survey in the Philippires. The area surveyed and mapped during the fiscal Year was over 14,500 square miles, or not far from 10,000,000 acres, making a total surveved to date of sver 14,500,600 acres. This area is distributed in twen ty-five States and Territories and in Porto Rico. The total cost per square mile, inciuding preparation of reports, is less than $3. Successful Tobacco Raising. Under the head of tobacco raising, the Secretary tells of the commercial suec cess of the shade grown Sumatra tobac co in the Connecticut valley, and of ex periinents with this plant in Pennsyl vania, New York, and Wisconsin. In Texas and Ohio has been grown a de sirable type of filler tobacco, which ecan not be distinguished from the imported Cuban leaf when properly rermented. The reclamation of alkali soils has also been taken up by the soil survey bu reau, which has been making such ex tensive land experiments, The study of the San Jose scale in Japan and China and the importation of its ladybird enemy has been an import ant feature of the year's work in the division of entomology. Work under the Lacey act, for the pro tection and preservation of game, has’ been continued by the chief of the Sec tion of economic ornithology along three principal lines, namely, publication of information on game protection, super vision of the importation of foreign birds and mammals, and co-operation in re stricting illegal interstate shipments of Additional field agents have beea ap pointed in the division uf statistics with a view to further improving i's crop re porting service. This work bas proved of so much value to the department that the Secretary announces that it will shortly form the subject of a special re port to Congress. Study of Agriculture. The functions of the office of experi ment siations have been enlarged in several directions. Special efforts have been made to aid the movement to ex tend agricultural education and research. The Secretary reports the rapid increase during the year in the public interest manifested in the agricultural experi ment stations, and also an increase in the number of students in agricultural colleges and schools, a large attendance of farmers’ institutes, and the establish ment of a number of new institutions for Investigations in agriculture established in different States. Over one and one half million dollars are now annually contributed by the States to the mainte nance of the stations. 3 Statistics of attendance at the land grant colleges show over 42,000 students enrolled—an increase over the previous year of 7 per cent. The attendance for the four-year course in agriculture in creased more than 26 per cent. He states that all over the country farmers are sending their children to public high schools and paying for their tuition. Farmers’ institutes are now held in| forty-four States and Territories, in cluding Hawall. Over 23200 institute were held last year. The funds con- tributed by the different States andi Territories to this work amounted to nearly $200,000, and 7,009 persons atten ed these institutes. The Secretary recommends that hu- trition Investigations be extended through a sclentific study of dietaries in public Institutions. He tells of the study of irrigation, even to the admin- istration of the laws governing the use of the Nile, saying “the lesson of one of the oldest irrigated countries in the world cannot fail to be of interest and value to one of the youngest.” Extensive Export Trade. The division of foreign markets wy given attention especially to the agri- cultural export trade to Australia, Can ada, and Argentina. The agricultural exports for the fiscal year 1902 amounted to §860,000,000. This, next to the ex ceptional record for 1901, is the highest ever reported. The falling off from 1901 was mainly corn and cotton, The de i

cline In these two products aggregatod $59,000,000. The United States exported last year $50,000,000 worth of forestry products. Europe was the principal foreign market and the United Kingdom the largest pur chaser, Preliminary work is under Way on an exhibit for the Louisiana Purchase Ex position, which is designed to be the best ever made by the department. It! is to illustrate as nearly as Jossible the workings of the various bureaus, di- visions, and offices of the department, and is prepared by the heads of theso offices under the general direction of the Assistant Secretary, Hon. J. H. Brig ham, the representative of the Qepart ment on the Government board. As on 'ormer occasions, the President has ap PRODUCE DEALER FINED J. Frank Robertson, a produce dealer in Center Market, was fined $50 yestor day by Judge Bundy in the Police Court for violating the weights and measures law, A XR AES LE SE TA “Night On Broadway,” at the Lyceum. 4 Harry Morris’ “Night on Broadway" will be the attraction at the Lyca2um Theater next week. Mr. Morris, whose thorough knowledge of stagecraft and hic ability as an adapter and arranger piace him in the [(ront rank of success ful preducers, as usual has an entirely new offering this season. It is a musi cal farce, an adaptation froma the reign ing German success, ‘Berlin Nach Elf.” The dialogue centains a deal of philes ophy, and is said to be full of lively humor. The masquerading characters and mistaken identities afford oppor tunity for an admirable company eof far ceurs headed by Mr. Morris as Henry Flieder. There is abundant complica tion all the time to create a strong im pression of dramatic suspense; and to exploit the affluence of feminine beauty and well designed dresses, which heighten the attraction of natural en dowments and artificial accomplish ments. The London critics are hard to please, and not at all prone to accept a young artist, unless personally convinced of his greatness. The manner in which Ko cian, the young Bohemian _ violinist, “won out,” in American parlance, was therefore all the more noteworthy and gratifying. The “London Star” said of him: “Of Bach's ‘Chaconne’ he gave a rendering that was technically of great brillianey, and it was most justly phrased. In the Bohemian ‘Fantasia,’ of his master, Se voik, hig mastery of the ne plus ultra of daring difficulty deserves to be called marvelous. Kocian's fame as one of the most brilliant execufants of his time is secure.” Koclan bids fair to become as great a favorite in America as he is in Eng land and Continental Europe. He will give a concert here Friday afternoon, December The unusual interest manifested in Mrs. Patrick Campbell's coming engagement at the Columbia Theater is shown in the extraordinary advance demand for ‘seats, the sale thus far being the larg est the theater has had this season, and she will have a very distinguished audi ence to greet her on the opening n:ght. There is. a great curiosity to see her in the new play, “ihe Joy of Living,’ a translaticn of Hermann Sudermann’s great drama, “Es Lebe das Leben,” for it has zlready obtained a world-wide fame as a distinctive literary achieve ment and Mrs. Campbell's production of it is its first presentation In English. As the Countess Beata, a woman of the world who scorns convention, but who possesses the finer emotions and strong family aff~ction, she has a role strongly suited to the peculiar quality of her ge nius and is declared to have won a suc cess in it second to none of her ot'er great achievements. She will appear in “The Joy of Living” Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. On Thursday, she will présent the new com edy, “Aunt Jeannie,” by E. F. Benson, the author of “Dodo.” On Friday “The Second Mrs. Tanqueray” will be given For the Saturady matinee she will ap pear in her great character of “Magda.” EN aan, “Sherlock Holmes,” with William Gil lette as the great detective, will be the attraction at the New National Theater on Monday night. Much interest a: taches to this visit, because it is the first appearance here of William Gil lette after his season of eight montls at the Lyceum Theater, London, and be cause Charles Frohman announces tuat this will be the last time Mr. Gilette whl ever be seen here in this role. “Sherlock Holmes” is widely regard ed as one of the most entertal ing, in deed thrillingly interesting, plavs ever seen on any stage, and is given by Mr. Gillette as study in realism. It re dounds with dramatic interest, and the attention of the audience never for a moment lapses. Mr. Gillette brings with him a company which is sald to be the strongest he has ever had in support, It is composed of American and English artists, many of whom supported him during his run at the Lyceum Theater, London, The management of the New National Theater wish especial attention drawn to the fact that during Mr. Gillette's epgagement the curtain will rise at 8 o'clock precisely each evening and at 2 o'clock at the Saturday matinee. After 8:25 o'clock eveniigs and 2:25 o'clock at the matinee no one will be seated until the end of the first act. This rule has been made because ..r. Giueoe iusists that his audience shall net be disturbed by a few late-comers. The first of a series of special mati nees of modern plays, to be presented by Miss Mary Shaw and the George Faw cett company at intervals during the winter, will be given at the Columbia Theater next Tuesday afternoon. The company will come to Wasehington to give 1his single performance. The play is “Ghosts,” by Hendrik Ibsen, the hot ly discussed Norwegian genius who be lieves that the theater is something more than a place for idle amusement. “Ghests” is a powerful tragedy, with a great moral lesson behind it. The story concerns a mother who discovers in her scn the same dissipated habits which, twenty years before, shocked her when she detected them in her husband, the boy's father. It is a story of heredity, a story which bears out in every line the moral precept, “the sins of the fa ther are visited upon the children.” Miss Mary Shaw will appear as Mrs. Alving, the mother. rrederick G. Lewis will be seen as Oswald, the son, The remaining roles have been adequately filled. De Koven Symphony at the National. The De Keven Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of the well-known musician and composer for which it is named, will give Its first concert of the season next Tuesday afterncon, Deecem THE WASHINGTON TIVES, THURSDAY.

COMING TO THE THEATERS.

Kocian at the Columbia. Columbia—Mrs. Patrick Campbell. “Sherlock Hoimes,” at the National. “Ghosts.” at the Columbia ber 5, at the New National Theater, at 4:15 o'clock. The program prepared for the occasion is one which should apy ex) to the musicians and music-lovers of the National Capital in every sense of the word. The orchestra has this year been strengthened and the promises for a thoroughly successful season are many and bright. The soleist for this occasion is Ovide Musin, the brilliant violinier, who has for some time been in Eurupe, where he has charmed all with his mas terly work, This artist has not been heard in Washington for some time ard his return will be hailed with delight alike by those who are familiar with his art and those who, while not knowing him, anticipate a musica! treat. Mr. E. H. Droop, the business manager of this organization, says the sale of seats is progressing favorably and a large audi ence is anticipated. Vaudeville at Chase's. The spice of life will sprinkle the polite vaudeville at Chase's next week, as the program will enlist the talents of Miss Amelia Summerville, J. K. Murray ond Clara Lane, Eugene O'Rourke, Leo Dervalte, Lamar and Gabriel, Queen Lil's Royal Hawaiian Troubadours, Nat I.eRoy and Minnie Woodford, and the vitagraph motion pictures, “Bluebeard.” Miss Summerville will deliver a society monologue that satirizes the humorous points observed in certain fashionable women to be met at an afternoon tea. James K. Murray and Clara Lane will present their condensed version of popu lar operas. Eugene O'Rourke, who en livened so many of the Hoyt comedies, will demonstrate more of his humorous ability in “Parlor A,” a ludicrous little affair by Edmund Day. Leo Dervalio will inject sensationalism by his daring spiral ascension. Lamar and Gabriel will introduce the miniature Dockstader and themselves in a happy-go-lucky con coction. Queen Lil's Royal Hawaiian Troubadours were prominent features at the Pan-American Exposition, ‘and this is their first appearance in vaudeville, and thefr final tour on their way to Hawaii. Nat LeRoy and Minnie Wood ford, with “A Little Nonsense Now and Then,” and the vitagraph pictures “Bluebeard” will make a pleasing con clusion. The advance sale indicates that attendance next week will go nearer the high-water mark than ever before this LeAson. “Robert Emmet.” at the Lafavett.. iy Te Tt TT gE Brandon Tynan, who appears at the Ta favette Theater next weck in his own play, “Robert Emmet, the Days of 1802." has been remarkably fortunate in achiev ing a double suecess as playwright and star in his first venture. Three years were spent in historical research and study on the times of Rob ert Emmet and his associates in the emeute of 1803. Dr. Thomas Addis Em met, of New York, the grand nephew of the ill-fated Irish leader, on learning of the ambitions of young Tynan, placed at his disposal the enormous amount of data which he had gathered in compiling his history of the Emmet family, and which cost him over $0,000. The play was finally finikhed, but if was more difficult to find a manager: who would venture his money on a costly produetion of an un known auther. Luekily, “Robert Em met” reached the ands of J. Wesley Rosenquest, at who te theater most of the famous Irish successes of the last twenty years have been given. That experenced manager at once saw the possibilities contained in the play, and accepted it for production, The cost of mounting the plece way enormous. A great star cast was en gaged, and the first perfurmance was a success which amazed New York. Bran don Tynac's triumph was great enough to warrant Mr. Rosenquest in offering him a starring contract for a term of years, the offer was accepted, and the manager now has a star who has verified his judgment. “Robert Emmet” will be given here with the same cast and stage accessories seen in the New York pro duction. “Across the Pacific,” at the Academy. Washington theatergoers are again to see Blaney's military comedy-drama, “Across the Pacific,” at the Academy of Music next week. Nearly all of the orig inal compary have been retained for this season, and Harry Clay Blaney will again Le seen as “Willie Live,” the war correspondent. “Across the Pacific’ Is said to be the largest popular priced attraction on the road, fifty-eight people being on the stage at one time. New scenery and effocts throughout have been made for the pro duction this season, and the management have spared neither pains nor expense to retain or exceed its former standard— “the best at the price.” Among the company supporting Mr. Blaney are William Desmond, Harry Fenwick, Frank E. MeNish, Miss Pearl L. Ford, Francis Desmonde, and Kittie Wolfe. Burlesque at the Empire. ~The Empire Theater announces an other high-class attraction for next week, a double one—the Gilded World Burlesquers, with Kiralfy’'s Colossal Bal let, the last named having been recently seen in this city at the Lafayette Theater with the “Around the World” company. Manager Schlesinger puts forth the claim that next week's attraction is the strongest which has this season been of fered at the Empire. Besides the ballet, which includes sixteen English dancers, two burlesques will be offered and five excellent vaudeville acts. The company in its entirety numbers forty people, and has met with considerable success in other cities. The Willlams and Walker company, headed by Avery and Hart, which is this week entertaining enormous crowds at the Empire Theater, wiil give a concert orn. Sunday night at that theater. The full strength of the large company wiil Le enlisted, together with an augmented orchestra. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE. The Hon. Willlam G. Ewing, of Chi cago, who has recently returned from a lecture tour of England and Scotland, will deliver an address on Christian Science in the New National Theater at 2:90 Sunday afternoon.

“SMILING AL" ORTH |0¥AL L WAGHINGION Crack Twirler Denies He Has uimpe: ed. HAS NOT SEEN JGHN M'GRAW No Intention of Playing Other Than Wiih Senators—Legal Move Against Delehanty. Albert Orth, without a doubt Washing ton’s best slab artist last year. and the cen that made the most f{riends and proved the biggest drawing card, is os with a mest emphatic denia! ef the rumor which hag i* that he has signed with John McGraw or anyone else nire; than Themas Loftus. Orth went to his home in Lynchburg, Va., at the end of the ball season intending to rumain there all winter, The many rumors going around, how ever, brought him to town this morning. He went directly to the Cochran Holel, where he met Eugene 8. Cochran, pro prietor, and one of the shareholders in the Washington team, also a personal friend of Orth. Al declared that the rumors, so far as he was concerned, were groundless, and not backed up by the truth. Mr. Cochran said he did not be lieve the rumors, and placed the utmost confidence in Orth’'s words. Mr. Cochran, accompanied by Pitcher Orth, made the rounds of the newspaper offices this, morning, and the big tvirler denied that he had even seen or talked with the little manager of the New York team since the “good old summer time.” Denies All Rumors. To a Times representative, Orth said: “The report that I have signed with Me Graw is absolutely untrue and with out foundation, I have not only not signed a contract with McGraw, but 3 have not seen or talked with him. The last time I saw him was during the sam ‘mer, and not a word was then said about signing any contract to play with the Giants. I have not signed with Me Graw, and I have no intention of sign ing with him or anybody else. My con tract with Washington is'the oniy one I have." “If you have not signed with McGraw how did the rumor get out?” he was asked, “You can search me,” he replied. “The first 1 heard or saw of it was when read it in the papers.” Ofth stated that he did not know any _ thing about the other two players, but he did know he was going to play with the Washington baseball team next sea son. He came here to gee his friends and to assure the managers that the reports ‘were untrue. On the other hand, if “Capt. Ed.” Dele banty and “Jack” Townsend have made up their minds to “jump’’ and play with McGraw's Giants, they might as well secure the services of several practi ‘tippers to look out for their interesis in the courts of this city. These three men signed contracts last year to play two seasons with the Wash. gan Bry MY 164 .t is maintained they bave each drawn advance money on their salaries for the coming season. The managers of the local club avow their intention of holding the men te their contracts and have placed the mat ter in the hands of Wilton J. Lambert, atttorney for the team. Mr. Lambert said this morning: “1 have my instructions to resort tg the courts te hold ihe players to their personal contracts on which they have received money payments. In case any of them refuses to give his services exclusively to Manager Loftus, of the Washington American League Basebal Company, and unless the court should rule that all personal contracts are worthless, these players will be abso lutely bound to their written agreements with us." Rumors May Be True. Although the managers and share holders of the team have not learned anything definite from the players in question, they are of the opinion that the rumors are not absolutely ground. less, and after talking the matter ove: it was decided to take action similar to that by Col. John Rogers in Phila. delphia. Even in the face of what the man agers are going to do the players migh' jump te New York and play there. Ther they might be restrained from playing in Washington the same as they are now kept ont of Philadelphia. From New Orleans, where big Ed Dele. hanty is keeping his eyes on the runners comes the intelligence that Del does nod deny ‘he will sign a contract to pla) in some c¢ity other than Washington He does not deny that he has as ver signed any contract with McGraw to pla; in Gotham.

So far as “Del” is concerned the Tocal ciub managers are at sea. The managers have, not heard from Townsend, and it is doubtful if they care. There are a few men in baschall uniforms who can do better twirling than Townsend and do it for the same money. Contract jumping is welcomed in some cases, and it remains to be scen whether that holds good in “Jack's” case or not.

FAYURITES HAVE BAD DAY AT NEW ORLEANS Peter Duryea Wins With Odds at 30 to 1. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 4.—One could hardly look for good contests at the racecourse vesterday with three differ ent grades of going.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4. 1902. CORCORAN CADETS WIN FROM ORDWAY RIFLES Despite One-Sided Score the Game Was Interesting. The league basketball game played last night in the Guards’ Armory in which the Ordway Rifles were defeated by the Corcoran Cadets by the score of 26 to was interesting despite the one-sided score. The Ordways put up a good fight, and played a strong up hill game against their more seasoned rivals. Before the game the league officials gave notice that unnecessary rough playing would not be tolerated, and as a result it was one of the cleanest of the league series, and proved enjoyable to a large crowd of spectators. Handiboe was the “star” player of the evening, and his “forward” work was fast and clever, and in goaling he led all hands, tossing eight goals from field, several of them quite difficult.

394 Jus 444 2,031 RUSSELL SAGE STEPS DOWN. Noted Wall Street Magnate Forced to Quit Business. New York Dispatch to Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Russell Sage has getired from busi ness. This momentous news has not yet been promulgated in Wall Street, but it bears the mint mark of a member of the family, and this time the story is true. Rumor has often retired the aged financier, but Mr, Sage was always glad to appear and willingly deny the ru mor, Announcement is now made that Mr. Sage will appear at his office no oftener than once a month. It may be he will not come downtown as often as that. His heaith will decide this question. It is no secret among his more inti mate friends—though none outside of Lig wife and physician know the exact facts ~—that he has not mended recently as he had hoped to do. His health is a source of great anxiety to Dr. Mann, his phy sician, and to Mrs. Sage, who watches over him with constancy and solicitude, and who now has assumed command over him in many ways. He has struggled hard against the in evitable. No man living loved work bet ter than the many-miilioned octogenar ian, who has always boasted that there was but one thing that could retire him from his desk, and that the head re tirer of all—death. He loved the nerve racking battles of the street as an old soldier loves the din of musketry and cannonading. But disease has laid a heavy hand upon him, and he is forced to raise the white flag of surrender. NATURAL LANGUAGE METHOD Book for Words, Phonograph for Pro nunciation. Mrs. Malaprop does strange things to the English language, but no stranger than many of the things done to French, German, and Spanish by maiy who think themselves com petent to speak these languages. No wonder the Parisian listens wits wonder to the of forts of some English and Americar tourists who fondly believe they are speaking French, As a rule, it is difficult to acquire profi ciency in this or any other language without living in the atmosphere of the language, or at least Hving In such association with it as to become familiar with all the shades of pro nunciation which form the key to the art of speaking it correctly. At 1212 F Street northwest has heen established Dr. Richard 8. Rosenthal's Language Phone Method, whose value, as a practical system of teaching, is daily being demonstrated, free of charge. This system is simp.y the appHeation of the phonograph, in conjunction with the text-book—the text-book for the eve, and the phonograph for the ear. Jointly, they produce a clear record on the brain and make easy the process of studs. Years are spen’ in the study of foreign lan guages, grammatical rules are committed to memory, and yet few college graduates are capable of carrying on five minutes’ conversa tion in idiomatic French or German, How, then, can foreign languages be mas tered? Is there no method by which they can be taught practically? What is Nature's way? How does a foreigner learn English? By hear ing it spoken and by speaking it himself. This is exactly what Dr. Rosenthal’'s Lan guage Phone Method does. Tt teaches languages in a natural way. beginning not with grammar or isolated words, but with practical phrases and sentences such as you actually have oc casion to use in business, traveling, or every-day conversation, Language in its widest meaning is sounds, and sounds in order to be properly imitated must be heard. By a series of pronouncing records every practical phrase used in the Bos enthal books is heard by the pupil. You see th sentence and its meaning, hear it pronounced, repeat it aloud, and from the very first lesson you begin to read, speak, and understand: your eye. ear, tongue. and memory aiding you all’ the time and without any apnarent effort on your part. You have the voice of a cul tivated native professor always in your ear whenever you care to listen—a natural voice, not metallic or rasping, given with perfect accent and intonation, slowly or fast, as you like; repeating words, phrases, or sentences once or a hundred times, just as you desire, until they are photographed on your memory so that you cannot forget them. The International College of languages of New York, the owner of the Language Phone Method, at 1212 F Street northwest. will be glad to demonstrate and explain this system to any who are interested, wheter as fve business men and women in Mexico, the Phil France, or Germany, or as students an elegant social ac ALEXANDRIA TEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST Hearing in Case of Crupper vs. Southern Railway. ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 4 —The sec ond day's hearing in the case of William E. Crupper vs. the Southern Railway Company, occupied the attention of the circuit court today, with Juige C. E. Nicol presiding. The case commenced vesterday moraing. This ig a suit in which Mr. Crupper seeks to recover the sum of $7,500 for the loss of an eye. Mr. Crupper charges ‘ha' while em ployed in the machine scons of the Southern Railway Compan+ he received injuries which resulted in ibe loss of that organ, and further states that it was due to improper tools which were given him to work with. The cass will probably be conciuaed (his evening. James Banks, colored, was arraigned before Mayor Simpson in he police court this morning on the charge of pro moting policy. He was arrested last night by Policemen Smith, Nicholson and Lyles. Incriminating evidence was obtained by the officers, and when Banks was usher ed inic the dock this morning he pleaded guilty. The fine imposed was $50. William Rich, William H. Thompson, James Scott, Henry Brown, Washington Rich, and Moses Lidian, all colored, were charged with pelicy playing in connec tion with the game which Banks was convicted of promoting, and a fine of $5 was impored in each case.

Lumpkins, one of the bhest known colored public school teachers in the city, and Lucy Anna Webb, the adopted daughter of Lucy Cooper, were married at 7:30 o'clock last night in Roberts Chapel, M. E.

W. O'Brien, of this city. In the circuit court yesterday after noon a decree was entered confirming the sale of certain King Street property in the case of Barton vs. Betts. KIDS AND KIDS. Slight Mistake Which Stirred Up New York Police Officials. New York World New York World. An air of deepest mystery pervaded police headquarters Saturday morning. From Staten Island had come this strange message: “Have six buttin’ kids. What shall we do with 'em? Do you want 'em?” The puzzled Mulberry Street sleuths studied the dispatch and tried to read between its lines te solve it. “Six-button kids," they reasoned. “The gloves of some rich society woman''— “rich society woman" is a favorite ex pres=ion at headquarters. “The gloves are, probably, the clue to a crime. The woman has been murdered, or, mayhap, she sought the wilds of Staten Island to take her life.” Back from headquarters flashed the questions: “Where did you find the kids? What color are they? Is there anything in them that points te their owner From Staten Island came this {llumi nating reply: “The six owners are in the station house offering bonds for the kids’ good 'beha ‘ior for a year. Two of ‘em are black, two white, and two black and white—that is the kids. We run ‘em In for eating golf balls, rubber plants, and other favorite flowers. What shall we do with em?” The police telegraph wire to Staten island had to be repaired. The final re ply from headquarters burned it up. MONKEYS AS CATAPULTS. London Chronicle. London Chronicle. An explanation of the origin or stories which attribute to monkeys the power of throwing stones may be found in the ue count of their habits given by traired and competent observers. Sir James Brooke says, with reference to the orangs, that he never observed the slightest attempt at defense, and that the wood which sometimes rattled above his ears was broken by their weight, “and not thrown, as some persons repre sent.” Mr. Wallace, also talking of the orang, declares that he has seen him throw down branches when pursued. “It is true, he does not throw them at a person, but casts them down vertically; for it is evident that a bough cannot be thrown to any distance from the top of a lofty tree. In one case female mias, on a durian tree, kept up for at least ten minutes a continuous shower of branches and of the heavy spincd fruits, as large as 32-pounders, which most ef fectually kept us clear of the iree she was on. She could be seen breaking them off and throwing them down with every appearance of rage, uttering at in tervals a loud pumping grunt, and evi dently meaning mischief.” A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT. London News. The truth about those dressmaking disputes which form such a large volume of county court business has been dis covered at last by the able judge of the city of London court. Judge Lamley Smith said recently that “he had long since come to the conclusion that with ordinary dresses any lady could wear a dress to make it Jook as if it did not fit." He was also ‘perfectly satisfied that any milliner or dressmaker could pull it about and make it fit when it dia not do so. Therefore it was no use try ing on dresses in his court.” With re gard to the question of fit the judge said he always drew a distinction between West End fit and others, because mora money was paid in the West End, and the customer conkl have more time de voted to an elaborate fit,

The Washington Times fH FRANK A. MUNSEY PUBLICATION OFFICE, Tenth and D Streets. We eannot think that enlightened public opinion will eneourage the agitation begun in Utah to proseribe the Hon. Reed Smoot’s eandidacy for a seat in the United States Senate. Mr. Smoot is an apostle of the Mormon Chureh, and because of his religious beliefs and religious affilia tions it is now proposed to contest his eligibility to represent his State at Washington. The Ministerial Alliance of Salt Lake City has declared war on Apostle Smoot, and is seeking aid to fight his election by the Utah Legis® lature next Jannary, and to challenge the legality of his title if elected. Sueli a erusade is perhaps the natural sequel of: that vielent and wide spread agitation which closed the doors of the House of Representatives three years ago on another Mormon statesman, the Hon. Brigham H. Rob erts. To the fury of that outbreak the popular branch of Congress yield ed its sounder judgment, and by a dangerous exercise of purely arbitrary power refused to honor a certificate of election, on its face both flawless and neontestible. But Mr. Roberts’ eredentials were refused not because he was a mem ber of the Chureh of Latter Day Saints, but because he was a confessed polygamist. And as a polygamist there is no doubt that the House of Rep resentatives could properly and legitimately have expelled him after recog nizing his prima faeie title to a seat. Against Mr. Smoot, however, no charge of polygamy has been bron :ht, or, appareitly, ean be brought. The outery raised against him finds its motive not in offended morals, but in religious prejudice. His claim to political preferment is to be outlawed, not beeause of personal cbliquity, but because of doetrinal practices and doetrinal faith. Based on such grounds—and on sueh grounds only —opposition to Apos tie Smoot’s candidacy deserves no serious support. He has the same right that every other American citizen has to seek and hold office. And it is rather late in the day to set up the contention that religicus belief still con stitutes 2 har to politieal privilege and political preferment, even though such other deferrent barriers as “race, eolor, and previous condition of servitude” have been swept away. 11 Mr. Smoot can win an election in the Utah Legislature, h title to a seat in the Senate may be held to be reasonably secure. Other Mormon apostles have «at in Congress without seriously deranging the order of the universe. And there is no good reason apparent why a Mormon, as a Mor won, should be disqualified from praetieing the virtues of patriotisia or the arts of statesmanship. That portion of President Roosevelt's message to Congress which re lates to the District of Columbia may be heartily eommended as emphasiz ing the great truth that the needs of the eity of Washington in the matter of development and worthy maintenance should be met as a national duty. The President 1s definite in his expressions on this point. He alls at tention to the fact that the Government exereiges loeal or municipal fune tions in Washington, and that it has a free hand in reference to certain types of social and economic legislation, which must be local or municipal in character. Therefore, he urges high-class hygienic and sanitary legisla tion, the eliminating of the slum-dwelling evil, the improvement of the charitable and correctional systems of the Distriet. Most significant, however, is the President’s declaration in effeet that Washington, the Capital of the United States, under the eontrol of the Na tional Government, should take the lead in revealing the dormant possi bilities of the Ameriesn city. “The city should be made a model in every “respect,” he says rightly, after treating of its needs in detail. This is the TN Sourtal Leal thet should distate the attitude of Congress toward Whatever is most desirable in the development and improvement of great municipalities should be gained for the National Capital. Other American cities, striving for municipal betterment, should be led to keep their eyes on Washington as illustrating the highest type of a wellgov erned and well-maintained city. It is a responsibility which the nation eannot fairly avoid. The eondition of the National Capital depends neces sarily upon a clear recognition of responsibility by Congress and upon a proper performance of the duty imposed by that responsibility. The gate money taken in at a recent football game was £33,000; and yet they say our colleges do not fit young men for a business life. Boys will be boys and youth must have its fling. But according to Gotham Jaws they must not take it in the frills and furbelows of the gentler sex. This was discovered, to their cost, by the twin brothers Jaeger, of No. 326 East Ninety-third Street, who started out in a fit of exuberant but misguided en thusiasm to give a literal, combined rendition of the “Heavenly Twins” and “The Streets of New York.” _ They are both beardless youths of elghteen years, as yet to fortune and fame “unknown; but they gave no indication to the roistering denizens of the Tender Join district that melancholy had mark&d them, in their female apparel, for her own. In fact, what they did give was a little better than what they received: and as they were past masters of that airy persiflage that passes current on the East Side, they returned with interest the playful badinage of their unsus pecting fellow-sex, So they ogled their attendant swains with the approved “melting eye,” while their high heels, peeping out from their abbreviated skirts, tapped out a ¢hallenge to the passer-by to turn and follow them. For these quasi damsels tossed their bonneted heads high in the air with gles, and their golden hair was hanging down the backs of most faultlessly fitting gowns, Eseaying a trolley ride, they demanded all the rights and privileges pertain ing to their borrowed sex. First Miss Girofle turned an old gentleman from out his seat, and left him pendent from the strap, while Miss Girofla waged _#etive war against an economical and unfledged lad, who cast sheep's eyes at her across a half consumed unlit cigar. This, with the aid of the admiring “conductor, she transferred—with the youth still clinging to it—to the rear plat Then she coughed, and had the windows raised. Meanwhile her “sister,” under pretense of a desire to stop the car, started at the beginning of a long block to play a Swiss Bell Ringers’ melody on the electric button that registered the fares, which caused the conductor's earnings for the day to vanish into thinnest it was at the theater, though, that they achieved thelr great success. Here they pushed their bats still higher up and talked out loud. One powdered her pert nose during the pathetic scenes, while the other, sitting on one foot beat martial time with the other, until the show music accompanying “Little Eva's” flight to heaven, was accentuated with the cadence of a marching regiment. e Finally they left the theater, still unsuspected, and turned their attention to Broadway. All went well till at the corner of Forty-fourth Street ome of the visiting seraphs was seized with a desire for hot tamales, and this by no “means angel's food was their undoing.

District and Message. Wolves in Sheeps’ Clothing. FTER reading much that has been written and hearing a good deal that has been said on the motor prob lem, I venture as an old roadster to ask for that consideration toward motor drivers which is called in common parlance the courtesy of the road. There is a camaraderie among all coachmen, whether driving a difficult four-in-hand, a spirited pair of horses, an omnibus, hack coach, or a team of heavy cart horses, which enables the vehicle to thread its way through the intricacies of a crowded street. There is the same good fellowship which enables thousands of cyclists to ride with impunity through the densest thoroughfares in our great elties; and amid all this crowd of vehicles and cycles the pedes trian pursues his course with safety. At the present momen: the motorcar is somehow or other looked upon as the common enemy of all these three by coachmen, cyclist, and pedestrian alike. Possibly in a measure this may be due to a certain number of motorists disregarding the conventionalities of the road; personally, however, I can recall several occasions when I have met with the greatest discourtesy without the least deserving the opprobrium heaped upon me. I think it would be a great mistake to allow this feeling One of Cardinal Manning's stories iu recalled in connection with the holiday season. It was of a parishioner whose ten children had grown up, married, and left her alone. She said, “Yes, I do feel it lonesome. I've brought up a long family, and here I am, living alone. And I misses 'em and I wants ‘em; but I ‘misses ‘em more than I wants “em.” Edwin A.

My contention is that it should be a question of give and take. I am not presumptuous enough to say what form the proposed legislation should take as regirds the altera tion of the speed limit (in order to do away with the very great anomaly of every motorist breaking the law of the land whenever he uses his car), and not suficiently ex perienced to say what regulation ought to be adopted to safe. guard the interests (f the public against the dangers of rash driving, but I should like to suggest that our legis lators call in reliable members of automobile clubs to help them to frame bills that would solve the motor problem. Such a law would be hailed with delight by very many who, like myself, believe in the future of motors, not only as in creasing immensely the enjoyment of our daily life, but also as a most useful means of locomotion and a very valuable addition to the industries of any country. burglar, who counted too confidently on the pacific tenden cies of the clerical soul, attempled to loot Dr. Shellenberg er's house the other night.

Now that the Fifty-scventh Congress has convened In its final session, here comes the Hon. Edgar D. Crumpacker of 'ndianz with a proposition to revive his vet scheme for an investigation of elec tion methods in the South. Unmindful of the fact that the Committee on Rules at its last session placed his investiga tion resolution far away in a dark closet where they hoped it would never see the light of day and would be forgotten, Mr. Crumpacker no sooner returns to Washington than he begins a search for Lis hobbyhorse. What to the Hon.- Ed gar D. Crumpacker are questions of trusts, of tariff, of finance, and a hun dred and one other matters when the real issue is to ascertain whether or no Some dusky citizen of Caddo parish, La., failed to have his ballot recorded? So, with the able assistance of the Hon. Marlin Edgar Clmsted of Peansylvania, he has come to remind the Committee on Rules that it must not disregard the ‘action of the Republican caucus months ago instructing the :ommittee to report ‘a resolution appointing a committee of ‘eleven to investigate elections in the South. Probably Last Chance. Unwillingly would the House leaders cast this apple of discord into’ the po litical arena, but Mr. Crumpacker In sists, and likewise does Mr. Olmsted. So, in the inelegant but forceful and expres sive language of the street, “it is up to” the Committee on Rules. What that all pewerful triumvirate will do in the cir cumstances is a problem which none but these three can solve. What it is most likely to do, however, is to incur the disapproval of Mr. Crumpacker and Mr, Olmsted. Mr. Crumpacker’'s anxiety to obtain consideration for his favorite resolution is prompted, more especially at this time, by an acute insight into things of the future. He perceives, as do even the dullest of statesmen, that your Uncle Joe Cannon is to wield the Speaker's gavel in the next House, and probably in each succeeding Congress so long as he shall be a member and the Republicans shall control. The chance which a Crumpacker election in vestigation resolution would have with “Unclé Joe” in the Speaker's chair would be paralleled only by.the oppor tunities which a snowball would have of maintaining its solidity upon the equator on a summer's afternoon. The Danville statesman is of North Carolina birth, and he has always oppesed such propositions as this agitated by Mr. Crumpacker. Of course, in a Democratic Congress such a thing would be utterly, out of the question. Hence Mr. Crum packer’'s solicitude and his desire to have his resolution considered. This may be his last chance. The Optimistic Mason. SNe MYLAAMOLIC Ad oVid. When it comes to a matter of award ing the prize for homemade, selfcon stituted, artificial optimism, the Hon. William E. Mason is entitled to wear the fluttering plume and the streaming blue ribbons.” The rotund stalesman from the Prairie State bas belabored himsslf into a perspiration and a happy smile over the thought that he is to succeed himself as Senator from Illi nois. He is as cheerful and appa:ently as satisfied, If surface indications amount to anything in forming an opin ion, as If he actually had the greden tials safely pinned in his inside ves: pocket. In his bright lexicon of hope fulness there is no word but Mason, while in his pelitical directory there is no such name as Hopkins. Ail this de spite the confident claims of the Hon. Albert J. Hopkins, that he (Hopkins) will be elected on joint ballot by a ma jority of forty-two votes. Notwith standing the action of the Illinois con vention in indorsing Mr. Hopkins, Sena tor Mason concedes his rival no oppor tunity of success. His Two Points. There are just two points in Senator Mason's advocacy of his own chances. First, the Senatorship must .n any event +0 to Chicago; second, the Hon.

It must also be confessea that a “woman scorned” because of a husband's preference for her sister has considerable temptation to do the fury act. The details are as follows: Pierre Diamaslio, a Philadelphia barber, is in jail at Elizabeth, J. and will be ar raigned in police cour: «morrow on a charge of eloping with his wite's fifteen-year-old sis ter, and also of stealing the wronged woman's purse and jewelry, Mrs. Diamascio, who is twenty-four and quite attractive, got on the trail of her husband and sister as soon as. they left Philadelphia. She got trace of them in Newark and followed to Elizabeth, and on the principal business street this moming she confronted her liege. Without any preliminaries or attempts at ex planation Pierre ran, but the avenging wife could not be so easily shaken. After a chase of a block she was upon him and he was quick ly hers du combai, yelling for help. In the presence of a crowd his wife gave him a se. vere chastising, badly disfiguring his face with her mails. Then Pierre was mrested. The wife's sister is supposed to be concealed in Ne“ark, JOHN MOY’S ROMANCE. As a usual thing the public is not in the habit of contemplating the average Chinese Jaundryman as a person partic ularly given to sentiment, but it wouid seem that he can more than hold his own in the matter of abandonment to an ab sorbing passion. The pathetic romance of poor John Moy, set forth in the “New York American,” justifies this statement in the following details: “I love Miss Decks so much that if she would only marry me I would give her a good home and lots of fine clothes,” John Moy, Chinaman, said brokenly when arraigned before Magistrate Connorton in the Flushing, L. I, court yester day on the charge of annoying Miss Rosa Decks, a pretty brunette of twenty-two years. Miss Decks said that she lived with her pa rents over John Moy's laundry at Corona, L. i, and every time she passed the store the Chinas will have confronting them next month will Indeed be easy of solution. To per form their duty there is nothing to do but to elect Mason. Whether the Leg islature will regard the logic of the situation from this point of view fs a matter which rests wholly with that body. There are. *zwever, some inti mations of late that the cheerful Sena tor is hedging. He and his friends have been heard to say recently that next to the Hon. Willlam E. Mason, the Hon. George Edmund Foss, chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs, would be the best man the Illinois Leg islature could choose. Mr. Foss is from Chicago, and it is not believed that he would, Caesar-like, refuse the Senators ship if it were in the power of Mare Antony Mason to hand it to him from the statehouse steps at Springfield. Mr. Foss enjoys no reputation for refusing the good things proffered to him. It is said that rather than that Hopkins should win, Senator Mason would throw his strength—whatever number 8f legis lative votes that somewhat vague and indefinite term may imply—to Represen tative Foss. Dick as Hanna’s Heir. In the preparation of the Republi ticket for the next election in Ohio, Representative “Charlie” Dick—to use histrionic vernacular unquestionably occupies the position ef “top-liner.” For several years he has been grooming for the gubernatorial race, and there is sald to be only ome contingency which may arise to prevent him from becoming the next candidate for governor. That is the possible retirement of Senator Hanna at the close of his present term, Should he do sv he would wish to have is mantle fall upon the shoulders of bis protege and political heir, “Charlie” Dick. The average Buckeye statesman has a custom of remaining up until sunrise on the morning after election in order to have an early start in the consideration of men who are to be candidates, one, two, and four years hence. He is never content unless the gruel in the political pot is above 212 degrees Fah renheit, and for him there is no cessa tion in the grand hustle for office. The duil season in CLis polities can only bo discerned by comparison. Hence it is that Representative Dick is considered as slated for the goversorship a year hence, and has heen for lo! these many moons. He has been chairman ef the Republican State committee for six years, and if there is a precinct manager in all the State of Ohio whom General Dick dces not know, said manager's identity is most (“scure. He is engineer in charge of a well-oiled, smoothrun ning, and admirably adapted machine, which will hand him out a nomination for governor when he but presses the button.

Having been defeated fof re-election to the House last month by devious means and methods, which if he wots of at all, he refuses to diseuss, since he went down under an adverse majority of five thousand, the Hon. Charles Fe licity Joy of St. Louis may give his con gent to serve his country in another ca pacity, that of postmaster of his city. It appears that the Hon. F, W. Baumm hoff, the present postmaster, whese term expires in January, recently has been subjected to icauisiterial terture, and to avoid ail like suffering in future will not ask for reappointment. If it were not for the fact that St. Louis is to be the scene of a show that promises to attraet planetary attention during the next two years a statesman of Mr. Joy's fame and experience would not care to accept office of lower rank than the one he has held for ten years. But to be postmaster of the World's Fair city carries with it a distinction that is salve to wounded pride and consolation to shattered hopes. When his applica tion is presented to the President it will bear the name of every member of Con gress who gets an opportunity to sign it, so popular is the St. Louis statesman. The office pays $6,000 a year $1,000 more than a mere member of Congress receives. ‘man stared at her and several times attempted by Fhankegs es. night, while 1 giving ving was dinner to several friends,” «id Miss Decks, heard a rumpus outside my door.

THOUGHTFUL JERSEY BACHELORS Thoughtful consideration for the pur pose of economizing time and money is always commendable, and especially so when unseifishly exercised fer the bene fit of others. This seems to have been done by a certain group of Jersey .City young men of whom the “New York World" tells as follows: A number of young men, members of St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, Jersey City, have organized a bachelors’ ¢lub. Rev. Mark J. Duffy, president of St. Michael's Club, approves the object of the new organization. He told the members he didn’t believe in consuming the time of young women and the gas in their parents’ homes neediessly, A committee was appointed to draft a set of rules and reguia tions. THE POSTMASTER’S MISTAKE. One of the first principles of good gen eralship is to protect one’s own militant equipment, and this principle seems to have been violated by the postmaster at Sayreville, N. J., to his own bitter cost. The story of discomfitnre ig told by the “Philadelphia Inquirer” in the follow ing item: So many efforts have been made to rob the postoffice at Sayreville, near this city, that four revolvers were alway; kent in the drawer of the postmaster’s desk, in readiness to repel an assanit in force. Saturday morning broke into the postoffice and stole the revolvers, They gut little else of value. They had started operations on the safe when they were scared away by the watchman mak-

An Anglo-American wedding in which ‘society has been much interested took place in London when Miss Alice Con ‘stance Ward, daughter of the late Mr. Andrew Henshaw Ward, of Boston, Mass., was married to Capt. Cyril Black IN THE COURTS AND CAPITALS OF THE OLD WORLD Sir Frederick Johnstone, who is now In West indian waters on board his yacht, the St. George, with his wife, Laura, Countess of Wilton, and who is on his way to this country for a pro longed stay, bears a name familiar, not only in European court circles, but in the American sporting world as one of the most influential members of the Roy al Yacht Squadron, and as having twice won the Derby, on the last occasion with the celebrated horse Common. Sir erick is very wealthy, and a large rtion of his fortune is derived from the United Staies. The Johnstone family still possesses a large amount of American land, acquired by the baro net's ancestor, Capt. George Johnstone, of the royal navy, whe was governor of Florida during the eighteenth century, and who wedded a local heiress, Char lotte Dee by name. Sir Frederick, I understand, is coming to this country on business connected with his interests here. He is a claimant to the dormant mar quisate of Annandaje, and during the past century a good deal of money was spent in endeavoring to secure recog nition eof the claim by the House of Lords; but the case was in each instance decided adversely. It is difficult to see what advantage Sir Frederick could have derived from the marquisate had he established his claim. It would certainly not increase his so eal prestige, which, thanks to his inti. mate friendship with the King, whose associate he was at Oxford and whose frequent guest he is at Sandringham, eould not possibly be higher, Sir Frederick, who was one of the co respondents in the celebrated Mordaunt divorce case, is married to the widow of the late Earl of Wilton, and she, like so mary other widowed peeresses who have wedded commoners, retains, as a matter of courtesy, not as a right, her title as peeress, though she no longer enjoys any of the prerogatives of the peerage. The countess’ previous ®xperience of "married life can scarcely be sald to have The White House. Among the Dinvlomats.

Mr. Reginald Ward gave his sister away. The bride wore a white satin gown trimmed with pearl and silver em broidery. Captain Tew was accompanied by a number of the officers of his regi ment, while a group of sergeants in uni form stood in the church porch as a guard of honor. An elaborate reception was given at the Hyde Park Hotel after the ceremony by Mr. Ward. There were nearly a thousand invited guests. Among those who attended were the Dowager Duchess of Newcastle, Car dinal Vaughn, the Earl and Countess of Donoughmore, the Earl and Couniess of Oxford, the Barl and Countess of Listow el, the Earl and Countess of Romney, the Dowager Countess Howe, the Mar ‘quis and Marchioness of Bristol, the Earl of Munster, Lord Edward Pelham Clin ton, Lord Edmund Talbot, Lord and Lady Mareus Beresford, Lady Doneraile, Lady Henry Gordon-Lennox, Lady Abinger, Sir Thomas Lipton, Capt.

One of the largest and most fashion able weddings of the season tock place yesterday at noon in St. Batholomew's Church, New York, when Miss Louise Hollister, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Hollister, was married to Richard H. Forrest, of Philadelphia. The church was decorated with palms and white chrysanthemums, and a de lightful musical service was rendered, Mr. Warren, she organist, playing se lections from the “Meistersinger” and “Lohengrin,” with violin obligato, while the guests were assembling. The bride wore a gown of white panne velvet with a long, square train. The bodice was trimmed with a deep pointed yoke of point applique lace, which fell over the tops of her sleeves. These puffed below the elbows. Her tulle veil was fastened with orange blessoms. Her jewels consisted of a string of pearls, the gift of her father, and a pearl and diamend crown brooch from Mr. Forrest. The marriage of Miss May Roome, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Roome, to Clinton Welling Stier, will tak« place at the family residence, 1477 Kenesaw Avenue northwest, this evening. The wedding will be very quiet, and no cards have been issued. In the Astor Gailery of the Waldort Astoria last evening, Miss Edna J. Saks and Leonard C. Levy were married. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. An drew Saks, who live at the Hotel Neth erland. The Rev. Joseph Silverman per fermed the ceremony at 6:30 o'clock. The bride wore a white satin gown, trimmed with point lace, and a point lace veil. Her chief ornament was a diamond collarette, the gift of the bride groom. She carried a bouguit of or chids with lilies of the valley. Miss Lilla J. Saks, a sister of the bride, was maid of honor and the bridesmaids were the Miss=s Arline Strauss, Teresa Kuhn, been a happy one, for the late Lord Wil ton was for a number of years insane and under restraint, in spite of which he was brought to the House of lords, along with the equally demented Vig count Hereford, to vote against the Gladstone home rule bill, there being no constitutional objection to the vote of a peer judicially pronounced insane in the upper house of the Parliament on matters concerning the weifare of the Empire. Demented members of the House of Commons, however, are dis qualified from voting.

Before being locked up as insane, the late Lord Wilton achieved fame for his remarkable musical talents, Indeed, the late Sir Arthur Sullivan, the cumposer, was never tired of declaring that Lord Wilton was, without exception, the clev erest amateur violinist In existence. As one time he made a tour through the provinces with Sir Arthur, and several other virtuosl, some professional and some amateur, the party traveling under the name of the “Canterbury Plligrims.” Let me add that in the same way that Don Alfonso was born a King, Rir Fred erick Johnstone was born a baronet, having made his advent in the world about three months after the death of his father. He is the elder of twins, and will be succeeded in the baronetey and estates by his brother, Col. George Johnstone, an old guardsman, Mrs. Charles Charington, who has Just been figuring as respondent in the Lon don divorce courts, must be accustomed to its atmosphere, for, while Sir George Bullough has figured as co-respondent in the suit which has just resulted in the dissolution of her marriage with Charles Charington, it may be remem bered that she herself was a few years "80 the co-respondent in the suit brought by the Countess Cowley for di vorce against her husband, the earl. Mrs, Charington, whose now divorced husband 1s a member of the great Lon lon brewing firm of that name. is a remarkably pretty woman, As the re Ethel Price, Edna Hothstadter, Nina Price and Frances Wolf. Harry Levy assisted his brother as best man, and Walter Kremer, Morris Hermann, Horace A. Saks, W. Andrew Saks, Leo Levy, Alfred Levy, Sidney Wormser, George Levy, George Sidenberg, and Joseph I. Saks were ushers. After the ceremony a dinner was served to sev eral hundred guests in the big baliroom which was followed by a dance in the Astor Gallery. Mrs. Thomas Mortimer of 1828 G Street northwest, who has been visiting friends in Round Hill, Purceliville and Paeonian Springs, Va., is at home again. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bradley are the guests of Mrs. T. P. R. Sheperd of Provi Mrs. R. B. Bradford, wife of Admiral Bradford, is giving a tea at the Wash ing Club this afternoon to introduce her daughter, Rose Mary. The debutante’s gown is of white crepe de chine, and her flowers La France roses. The club rooms, which are admirably adapted for entertaining, are prettily decorated for the occasion, the color scheme being pink. Mrs. (Bradford is assisted in re celving by Miss Grace Howard of An napolis, Miss Harriet Southerland, Miss Frances Downing, Miss Elsie Seymour, Miss Margaret Sands, Miss Ida Stevens, and Miss Elizabeth Goodwin. Miss Mary Engs of Newport, is presiding at the punch bowl. Mrs. Rixey and Mrs. G. C. Reid are acting as hostesses in the dining room. Mrs. and the Misses Bradford will re ceive Fridays in January and February at their home, 1522 P Street. One of the latest additions to the society of the Capital is Mr. Henry Thaw, son of the late William Thaw, one of Pittsburg’s multi-millionaires. Mr, Thaw is about thirty-five years old, and a bachelor. He is exceedingly fine look ing and generous almost to a fault. Mr. Thaw has leased for his Washington residence the Cameron house, on Lafay et'e Square, the house that was the home of the late Vice President Hobart, and later the residence of Senator Han- na’'s family when in the city. Mr. Thaw has a retinue of servants from Paris, who will impart an air of Old World ceremony to his household, over which his mother will preside. This young bachelor is lavish in his entertainments. Dinners that mount up into the thousands, with favors of the choicest kind, orchestral music as ac companiments, and other up-to-date fea tures will make them excel all ordinary events. His sister, Miss Margaret Thaw, married Mr. Andrew Carnegie, a nephew of the Pennsylvania steel king. Mrs. M. Le Roy Gough will not re ceive this afternoon, but will be at home at the Marlborough the following Thurs days in December. ‘Miss Harriet Sabine, of Williamston, Mass., and Miss Hazel Dunning, of Ce darhurst, L. 1., who were Miss Huff's schooimates at Dobbs Ferry, are the guests of Mrs. Huff. They have come to Washington to receive with Miss Huff at her coming-out tea, which takes place on Saturday. Miss Sallie Ball is visiting Mrs. John Addison in Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. John W.

He, however, retained (he child, ‘the only issue of the marriage. Mrs. Charington, having thus tired of ‘beer, turned her attention to rum, for Sir George Bullough is the owner of the ‘Scotch Island of Rum, which formerly belonged to Lord Salisbury, from whom he purchased it, Sir George, who is a very wealthy manufacturer of machinery at Accring ton, and a lberal contributor to the electoral funds of the Unionist party, received his knighthood on the King's birthday last year, in recognition of the loan of his yacht for use as a hospital ship during the South African war. This vacht figured largely in the divorce case, Sir George and Mrs. Charingion having cruised about on it together for several months last summer. Americans visiting India in connection with the Durbar at Delhi, and who re raain for the sake of big game shooting, will do well to learn beforehand how to distinguish a wild elephant from a do mestic elephant which has turned “rogue;” that is to say, which has be come ugly and sufficiently dangerous to warrant its being killed wherever found; for, in British India, the ordinary wild elephant is strictly preserved by the game laws, A military officer of high rank. at Ootacamund the other day, while ghoot ing in the thick jungle happened to en= counter an elephant, which, on catching sight of him, charged down upon him full tilt. The officer, having heard that there was an elephant at large which had been proclaimed “rogue,” Immedi ately assumed that the pachyderm In question was the beast, and brought down the huge creature by a well-aimed shot. It turned out that the animal ic question was not the “rogue,” but an ordinary wild elephant, and, on this pe ing brought to the attention of the au THE WASHINGTON TIMES, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 4. 1902.

Senora de Azpiroz, wife of the Mexican ambi ssador, and Senora de Quesada, wife of the Cuban minister, received the guests. Ameng those present were the Secre tary of State; Senor de Azpi oz, the am bassador from Mexico; Senor Don An tonio Lazo Arriaga, the minister from Guatemala; Senor Don Luis Felipe Car bo, the minister from Ecuador; Mr. J.

Watson, of New thorities, the officer was haled into the police court and subjected to a severe fine for not having taken sufficient pre cautions to ascertain the character of the charging elephant. Of course, the natural impulse of any armed man, on finding himself face to fice with a savage animal bent un dead ly mischief, is to bring the unpleasant situation to an end by a shot, but those Americans who stay on in Indla for the big game shooting must not act on this impulse. Before daring to fire upon any elephant that happens to charge down upon them, they must be careful to as certain the exact character of the beast, and whether he ig a wild animal or a domestic “rogue.” It Is strange that the United States and Great Britain should have consented to the selection of King Oscar as arbi trator in the Samoan difficulty, for the very fact that he is known to have eon cluded, if not a public treaty, at any rate a secret military convention with the Kaiser for joint action with Ger many in the event of the latter becom ing involved in any war with one or more of the great powers, should have prevented him from being chosen. King Oscar is one of the most honor able and upright of men. But, with ail his anxiety to act fairly, it was only natural that he and his advisers should be impelled by the relations of the Swed ish erown and government with Ger many to take a more favorable view of the latter's claims in the Samoan eon troversy than of those of the United States or Great Britain. That is the drawback in these cases of international arbitration. Too much de pends upon the personal sympathies of the arbitrator, no matter how just a man he may be; and English statesmen are to this day convinced that Great Britain would never have been called upon to pay the Alabama claims had it not been for the pronounced Anglophobia of the Swiss arbitrator, Staemphii.

DECISION MAY AFFECT HUNTINGTON CLAIMS Durkee Heirs Sued to Re cover Sixty-four Millions Alleged as Due on First Mortgage Bonds of the Union Pacific Railway. Case Against Huntington Estate a Similar Litigation. Minor Stockholders of Central Pacific Railway Sue for Hundred Millions The decision of the local court in the suit of Charles W, Wood, trustee, and D. W. Wood against John A. Kuyken dall, individually and as administrator »f the estate of Charles Durkee and others, may affect the litigation pending against the estate of Collis P. Huntington. The Durkee heirs are suing the Gov ernment to recover $64,623,512 alleged to be due on the first mortgage bonds of the Union Pacific Railway. The minor stockholders of the Central Pacific Rail road Company of California are suing the Huntington estate to recover about $100,000,000 said to be due on their hold ings. The latter litigation was begun in New York some time ago, The suit by the Durkee heirs was commenced in the Su preme Court of the District in the sum mer of 1900, through their counsel, At torney D. W. Wood. Charles Durkee, who resided in Wis consin in the 40's, was one of the original promoters of a Pacific railway line. He was elected to Congress in 1848 ‘and served one term in the House of Representatives. At that time he was considered a wealthy man. He was defeated for Congress in 1850.

(Copyright by Frank A. Munsey.) SYNOPSIS, Yietor Sandoff, head of the Russian secret service, while in pursuit of a Nihilist named Shamarin, is himself captured, but is released by Shamarin's sister Vera, on condition that he will swear to grant her an equal favor on A year later, when the police are close on her brother's trail, Vera comes 10 Sandoff and demands a passport for Sham Forced by his cath, Sandoff yields, but is detected by his lieutenant, Zamosec, through whose agency Sandoff, Shamarin, and Vera are all ihree exiled to Siberia. The two men meet in prison and become friends. Vera escapes and communicates with them. With tools which she furnishes they break out and overpower join her, taking with them ‘the Co 's arms and uniform. They manage to A their pursuers, and after manifold dan and hardships, they strike the great post road to Viadivestok, along he Amur. Learning that Zamosc is uveiion i i huh} era as the wife of an official. Zamose is concealed in the sleigh. By omitting to stop at Riga, where Zamosc te have turned over money to pay the the commandant’s susnicions were ks pursuit of an exciting nature follows. Sandell and his companions prevent the Cos sacks from shooting by holding up Zamosc as a shield. They finally baffle their pursuers by crossing a stream, the ice on which breaks be hind them. Zamosc lost no time in making good use of his voice, and he was shouting lustily for help when Sandoff regained the shore. By the »‘d of a huge boulder Shamarin mounted one of the horses. As it happened to be the smaller of the two, Sandoff mounted the other, and helped Vera up behind him. A moment later the fugitives vanished over the erest of the next ridge. A succession of thick forest and rock _ strewn ravines made progress slow and painful. Day came, revealing a barren and desolate country stretchipg as far as the eye could reach. In front of the fugitives towered a range of lofty moun tains. After three or four hours of diffi cult riding they reached the foothills, themselves and their horses thoroughly exhausted. Here the latter were aban doned, and the ascent was begun on foot. A long and wearisome climb brought the refugees to the top, and here their eyes were gladdened by the sight they had Jonged to see. The mountain and the wooded hills at its base sloped gently to the eastward for half a dozen miles, “and beyond were the fair blue waters of the Japan Sea, fading away into the horizon. Near the shore lay two black objects—steamers without doubt. It was late in the afternoon when the fugitives drew near the sea. One slight ridge crowned with pine trees lay be tween them and the desired goal. They crept through the valley with slow and cautious steps, fearing either to meet Cossacks who had come to the coast from Viadivostok, apprised of the situation by telegraph, or to be over taken by Colonel Nord and his party, who for all they knew might have been following them since the previous night, “The first thing is to get a good look at those vessels lying off the shore and discover their nationality,” said Sandofl. At this moment a rifle shot rang sharply on the air, and was followed by a second report and a ferocious yell that came from no human throat, “Some wild beast!’ muttered Sandoff, and 2s he spoke a man's voice cried, “Help! Help!” The tragedy—for such it seemed to be —was taking place but a few yards dis tant. Rifle in hand Sandoff ran forward for a dozen yards or more and peered through the thick foliage into a circular open glade. In the center of this rose a rounded boulder six or eight feet high, and perched on the top was a young man, striking blow after blow with a clubbed rifle at a great, wounded tiger cat, which was making frantic efforts to get at him. Soon after, however, he was chosen United States Senator from Wisconsin. He was later appointed governor of the Territery of Utah, where he died. Mr. Durkee was married three times. His last wife is living. She, however, is suffering from mental weakness, and more than once has been under confine ment in an asylum for the insane. Those who are posted on the affairs of the Durkee estate say that, with the exception of about $6.500,000, the re mainder of the first morigage bonds is sued by the Union Pacific Railway Com pany were in the possession of Charles Durkee at the time of his death. Mrs, Durkee has declared, it is said, that Harvey Durkee, her husband's hali brother, who was also his private sec retary, took possession of a tin box con taining the bonds and some money on the day of her husband's death. When the first mortgage bonds were issued these were considered by many as practically valueless, They were to run for thirty years, and were secured prac tically by nothing more than a roadbed without market value. Charles Durkee, however, had faith in the result of the enterprise, and pur chased all the first mortgage bonds he could. Some of the issue, it is said, he bought for 4 cents on the dollar. Seven cents it is also said is the highest price paid. Soon after the filing of the suit by John A. Kuykendall, in the local courts. a similar suit was filed by Leonard Blaisdell and others, who claimed to be the legal heirs of Charles Durkee. Mr. ‘Blaisdell had married a niece of Charles Durkee. He first prosecuted his suit before the Court of Claims. He was unsuccessful there, and then had recourse to the Su preme Court of the District. It appear ing to the court that John A. Kuvkendall ‘was the regularly appointed administra tor of the estate of Charles Durkee, it refused to entertain the claim of any one except as made through the admin istrator. At sight of the stranger Sandoff ut tered a cry of surprise. “Can it be he?” he said aloud. “Yes, it surely is. What can he be doing—" He did not finish the sentence, for at that instant the tiger cat sprang fairly to the top of the boulder, and seized the unfortunate man by the ankle. It was no time for hesitation. Sandoff boldly advanced from the bushes, and, taking aim at the tiger's head, fired. The brute rolled backward in his death struggle, while the rescued man half fell, half jumped, from the rock, and iimped to ward Sandoff with amazement and grati tude visible on his face. “1 owe you my life,” he said huskily. “That was a good shot of yours. 1 fired twice at the brute, but failed to kill him, and my steward, who was with me, ran off. The coward won't stop now un til he gets to the yacht.” “The yacht!" cried Sandoff hoarsely. “Is your yacht here? But dcn't you know me, Maurice Dupont? No, of course you don't. I am Victor Sandoff.” “Victor Sandoff!” The other repeated the words in an amazed tone. “Can it really be you? How came you here? You, who were sent to Siberia. 1 heard ‘about it—it was unjust. tyrannical!” Both were silent for an instant, think ing of the time when they had last met in one of-the aristocratic clubs of St. Petersburg. “Tell me,” said Dupont, “what does this mean?” Briefly Sandoff recounted the story of his escape, and when he paused, pale and agitated, Maurice Dupont took both of his hands in his and held them there. “Your troubles are over, mv old friend,” he said, with tears ino his eyes “Tonight as soon as i is dark, come down to the shore. You will find a boat there with one of my men in it, and once safely on my yacht I defy the Czar himself to take you off. You ‘must be careful, though, for a Russian corvette is lying at anchor near me, ‘watching for a couple of poor devils who escaped in a boat from the convict island of Saghalien last week. In fact, one of the Russian officers came out with me today. He ig somewhere at hand now, with a couple of my men. You see, I have been wintering at Vladivostok, and came up here a day or two ago for a little sport before starting for la belle France—but stop! 1 hear footsteps. Keep yourself and your companions well hidden, Sandoff, and as soon as it is dark make your way to the beach. You will find the boat opposite my yacht, which you can identify by the red lan tern in the bow. Quick! They are com ing!” The Frenchman strolled leisurely across the glade, while Sand~ff darted into the bushes and made his way back to Shamarin and Vera with his burden of joyful news, Through the remainder of that short afternoon the fugitives Jay concealed among the rocks on the summit of the ridge, and when darkness came they crept cautiously down to the edge of the bay. Less than a mile from ghore lay the steam yacht Grenelie, easily distin guished by the red light that swung from its bow. “If your friend fails to keep his word we are lost,” said Shamarin. “He may Lestitate to assume such a risk—" “He won't hesitate, and he won't fail,” interrupted Sandoff, with decision. “There! What is that now?" “A boat!” eried Vera joyously, and so indeed it was. It lay upen the beach, and as the fugitives drew near a man advanced to meet them—a middle-aged, bearded sallor, wearing the blue and white uniform of the Grenelle. He howed politely to Sandoff, and said, “The boat is waiting, monsieur. I fear we shall have a rough passage, for the surf is heavy and the wind is rising.” “Then the sooner we start the bet USE OF KNIFE IN PONDIGITIS GASES Dr. Castelli Addresses Medi cal Society of the District. Dr. Casielli delivered an interesting address on the use of the knife in ap pendicitis cases before the Medical So ciety of the District of Columbia last night in the Georgetown College law ‘building. Owing to his exhaustive study of the subject in Europe, Dr. Castelli is regarded as eminent authority on dis eases of the abdomen. Resort to surgery in treating appen dicitis, Dr. Castelli thinks, should fol low after other methods fail. He be Tlieves that rational medical treatment gives better results in the majority of cases than the surgical operation. Dr. Castelli appealed to the records o: cases ireated in the Italo-Abyssiniar war, where it was demonstrated that the chances cf recovery were better with out surgical intervention in penetrating wounds of the abdomen. Dr. Castelli declared that it was the (rule in cases of appendicitis for the weak patients to live, and the s'rong ones to die. He pointed out the neces city of care in the diagnosis of this Jdis ease. The necessity for surgical inter venticn within twenty-four or forty eight hours, he thought, would depend in greater degree unon the physical con stitution of the patient than upon his apparent cendiiien. In conclusion, Dr. Castelli said: “From these observations I have de duced the conclusion that in doubtful cases of appendicitis an examination of the blood might constitute the confirm ing data of diagnosis, and if an intervan tion were judged necessary it woul take place at a more favorable (imo than that usually selected, namely, when all the symptoms shall have been de veloped.” By WM. MURRAY GRAYDON. ter,” said Sandoff, answering the sailer in his own tongue. The boat was small, and without diffi culty it was dragged down to the edge of the surf with Verd seated in the stern. The three men pushed the craft out through the surf. Then they sprang in, and Sandoff and the sailor fel} to (he oars, Vera and her brother meanwhile bailing out the water that had been flung over the sides. “Pull with all your strength, my friend,” said Sandoff, “It will be no easy matter to gain the yacht.” The wind was blowing toward the shore. Bach moment it seemed to in crease in violence and the sea to grow more turbulent. After a period of steady rowing Sandoff noted with alarm that the boat was being carried in the direc tion of the Russian corvetie. Again and again it was headed for the crimson wake of the lantern, and each time the waves buffeted it persistently out of its course. Shamarin relieved Sandoff at the oar, but with no better result. The situation was becoming alarming. The sky was overcast with dark murky clouds, ani the waves tossed the frail craft abou at will. Suddenly a ruddy hlase was seen on the beach. Then a rocket, with a lu minous blue wake whizzed high in the ‘air, and before the fugitives could re cover from their surprise a similar sig nal was sent up from the deck of the corvette. “We have been tracked to the shore,” said Sandoff. “The Cossacks must have come up from Vladivostok, and now they are signaling to the corvette either to be on the lookout or to send a boat in.” “Most likely the latter,” said Shm arin. “Look! Lights are moving eon deck, and 1 ean hear the rattling of chains.” The possibility of recapture when safety was so near at hand dismayed the fugitives The boat was in a danger ous position, heing directly between the corvette and the shore. “We may be saved yet,” cried Sandoff ‘hoarsely. “Pull straight for the vacht-—— puil as you never pulled in your lives. it ie our last chance.” The men tugged desperately at the oars, and to such purpose that the boat ‘made visible headway toward the Grea elle, A shout for help might have brought a boat to the rescue, but as it could have been heard with equal die tinciness on board the corvette this or pedient was out of the question. Another anishap was close at hand. As the sailor pulled desperately at his oar it split with a sharp crack. In the ‘momentary confusion that foilowed, the boat swung broadside to the waves, and a fierce blast of wind coming up at that instant, over it went in the twinkling of Aan eye, Sandoff, being on the leeward side, shot cut and downward, going clear under the icy water and coming 10 the surface a few scconds jater, to find the capsized boat half a dozen feet from him. To the bow ciung Shamarin, submerged (6 the breast. while the sailor managed to erawl pon the stern. Vera was not to be seen, and as Sandoff made this terrible discov ery his heart seemed to stand still and his chilled Hmbs 10 lose their power. “Vietor! Vietor! Help me!” His name was called in feeble accents, and he saw a head and an arm floating in the waves between him and the boat. All else wus instantly forgotten. With three powerful strokes he reached the Spot and placed one arm tightly about the girl's waist, wh le with the other he beat the water furiously. “1 will save you, 1 will save you, Vera ~-my darling!” he whispered hoarsely. The words came unbidden from his very sonl. This moment of common peril had wrung from his lips the confession of a passion that he had cherished in secret for months, hy

THE WASHINGTON TIMES, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 4, 1902.

SUNG OF THE REVOLUTION WAKE URGENT APPUAL Favor Demonstration of Pa triotism on July 4 An urgent appeal for a public demon stration of patriotism on the Fourth of July was made by Historian Barry Bulkiey at the annual meeting of the Sons of the Revolution Society of the District of Columbia, held last evening at the New Willard Hotel. Mr. Bulkley spoke of the diminishing interest taken i. these celebrations, and called upon the members, as a patriotic bedy, to aroure more enthusiasm than has been fhown in the past few years. Mr. Bulkley's address was in line with a similar appeal made by him some time ago. He said the yearly celebra tions had been falling off in size and fervor year by year, until at present there was but little interest shown. He asked that the members of the society unite with him in.an effort to reestab lish the old form of paying tribute to the day. Attention was also called ty the move ment of the Mary Washington Chapter of the Daughters o¢f the American Revolution to raise a fund for the com pletion of “the Continental: Memecrial Hall. A plea to assist in raising the necessary sum to carry on this work met with substantial response. Following the routine of business, the election of officers was held. The fol lowing were elected. President, Admiral H. C. Taylor; vice president, F. P. B. Sands; secretary, Charles L. Gurley; treasurer, Balch B Wilson; registrar, Charles H. Campbell, and chaplain, the Rev. Randolph H. McKim, D. D. Board of managers, Gen. Frank Wheaton, retired; Frederick W. Huide koper, Irving Hall. Dunlap, Albert F. Marsh, Gen. Royal T. Frank, retired; R. 3. Chilton, jr., Commander Richard D. ghavenpert, Dr. John Van Rensselaer, and, Colonel Morgan. Addresses were also made by the Rev, Mr. Pierce, General Wheaton, and Archi taid Hopkins, former president of the society. The session was well attended. The wind forced the boat down toward him, and, throwing up his arms, he canght the keel and elung there, pressing Dis precious burden close to his side. Slowly the space between the yacht and the boat widened. They were drifting nearer and nearer to the long, black hull of the Russian ~orvette, “Better to die now than go back to ihe mines—back to torture and a living death,” whispered Shamarin across the boat. “Good-by, Sandoffl. 1 can't hold on much longer.” Sandoff could not reply. His own strength was failing, and a deadly numb ness was stealing his senses away. The “heroic saflor remained mute, faithful to his trust, though a single ery would have brought rescuers to the spot. Suddenly the quick, sharp rattle of oars was heard. The sound came nearer ‘and nearer, and flaaily a dim object passed close to the drifting boat. Ti was a gig from, the corvette, speeding toward the shore. As the dreaded object disappeared in ‘the gloom Sandoff still held to the keel, though his arm scemed to be tearing trom the socket. With the-other arm he fiercely drew Vera to his breast until her cheek almost touched his. “I love you, I love you!’ he cried passionately. “I tell you now, Vera, in ‘the presence of death. Would that God ‘had seen fit to spare us for another and better life in a land without tyranny acd oppression! Bui regrets are vain. It is sweeter to die this way together than to be torn apart and dragged back to the horrors of Siberia” His eves met hers, and he read in their swift, mute glance the echo of his own words, With one band she drew his head dowa. “Victor,’. she whispered, “you have made death sweet. Its bitterness is gone.” Then their lips met, and as the waves thundered around them San off felt his hand slipping from the boat. A low cry from the sailor roused him, and unconsciously his fingers tightened anew on the keel. The spot where Shamarin had been was empty—the ‘brave fellow had gone down. For him there was an end of toil and suffering. Again that low cry! The seaman was ‘kneeling on the capsized craft, staring ahead through the gloom. “A boat! a boa!!!” he cried hoarsely. “He is mad,” thought Sandoff. “He Sees No boat,” but even as he strained Vera to his breast and felt the icy wa. ters rising higher around him, a dar) object shot forward over the waves, and ‘a voice crief, “Sandoff, Sandeil!’ The next instant he and his burden were snatched from the icy waters, and then remembrance left him. When his senses returned he was lying, warm and comfortable, in a snug berth on board the Greanelle. As in dream he saw kind faces about him and ‘heard Maurice Dupont’s voice: “Sandof, my dear fellow, vou are safe now. The yacht is already under way We are bound for France. It was Provi ‘denne that guided. us when we started ‘out to search for you in the other beat. We arrived just in ‘ba nick of time—but too late to save vour companion. The ‘brave fellow had gone down.” Sandoff made an effort to rise, “Vera, ‘where is she?” he asked. “Safe. my dear fellow: safe ard well. 'You will see her tomorrow.’ Sandcff smiled and his eyes closed. He was Hleeping peacefully. Toward the end of the following June the Grenelle entered the harbor of Mar. gen and Sandoff and Vera journeyec by rail to Paris, accompanied by Maurice Dupont. But little more remains to be told. Vera and Sandeff were married in Paris, ‘where both had friends, and the honey ‘moon was spent in Maurice Dupont’s villa at Asnieres. They will never re. turn to Russia, nor have they any de sire to do so. They live happily ir their adopted country, but if they are spared to the extreme limit of old age they can never forget the terrible ad Pr Foam they shared together when es caping from the mines of Kara, or tha memorable night off the Siberian coast when poor Felix Shamarin lost his life in the sea he tolled so hard to reach.

White House to Be Thrown Open to Delegates. Temple, Baltimore. The plans for the day include a visit to the White House and the reception |of the delegates to the convention by Mrs. Roosevelt. Final arrangements for {the latter functicn, which is to be heid at 10:45 4 m., were made by Secretary Cortelyou over the long-distance tele phone yesterday. “Aspects of Judaism in America,” was the speeial subject considered at last night's meeting of the convention. The meeting was addressed by Miss Hen rietta Szod, of Baltimore; Mrs. Melida Pappe, of Sioux City, and Mrs William Miller, of Philadelphia. The discussion of the topic was pre ceded by the presentation of the report of the corresponding secretary, Misa Sadie American, of New York, and by a brief address by Mrs. Albert Sioussat, president of the Maryland Federation of Woman's Clubs, conveyjpg the greet ings of that organization the council, Mrs. Sioussat said that the local sec tion of the Council of Jewish Women formed a most honored part of the Stale Federation of Woman's Ciubs, and that it gave her especial pleasure on that account to convey the greetings and good wishes of the federation to the council. Jews and Gentiles, she said, share alike ‘in the common heritage in the spiritual and literary influences of the Old Testa iment. “The world has never forgotten,” she continued, “what it owes to the Lion of Judah, and it can never lose sight of the fact that the Law and the Prophets ferm the basis of all our civil life.” The session took place in the main auditorium and was presided over by Mrs. Hannah G. Sclomon, of Chicago, the national president. i Rabbi Szold’s Empty Chair. A mute reminder of the life and serv ices of the former rabbi of the temple, Rev. Dr. Szold, whose death occurred last summer, was had in his vacant chair, which was distinguished from the others by its drapery of white ribbons. The opening address on ihe special fople for the evening was made by Miss Henrietta Szold, the daughter of Rabbi 2zold, and who is widely known for her work in connection with the Jewish Publication Society. Her theme was “Judaism in the Cities of the United States.” “A European Jew,” she said, “newly arrived in this country and unfamiliar with American-Jewish affairs, would be overwhelmed with the many-sided ac thwity—or, rather, activities and inter ests—religious and philanthropic, of the Jewish people in America.” Seclution of Ovecrowding. As to the settlement of the acutest character problem of the day, the dis of the so-called ghettos, the speaker expressed her conviction that settlements large enough to permit of the conditions of Jewish life—and of modern life also—have been found and will continue to he found the only so lution for congested ctiy districts. Mrs. Melida Panpe, the next speaker, [treated in her address of “Judaism in the Small Towns and Scattered Groups.'’ She sketched briefly the conditions which influence the coming of many of the {Jewish immigran:s to this country. The circumstances are such, she =aid, as to make many grow up in ignorance of the alorious and inspiring history eof their ace. and the tendency to make them Horget-—and even for them to strive to forget—their origin and everything con nected with it. Talks of Young People. t

i The next speaker, Mrs. Miller, spoke lof Judaism and the ycang people. She commented in her address on the lack of reverence and the development of alarming habits among the youth of (all sects. Speaking of the home life, she said, quoting the alarmists: “The Jewish home is no longer a shrine; the ready sympathy of its in lates is lacking and willingness to help one another has been supplanted by sel fishness and warldliness. The family hearth is turned into a dissecting table for those within and without the home. They attend divine service only by com pulsion or when there is nothing else to do, or when they choose to meet a circle of friends.” Continuing, she said: ‘One man of Jewish birth, whose life and work twen iy centuries after his demise caused him Ito be worshiped as 4 Cod, led to the temple. What splendid courage enabled him to newly interpret the spirit of Ju I daism implanted by the teachings ol biz parents.” The officers and délezates te the cun veniion were the guests of the Baltimore Section at a luncheon which was given lafter the moraing session atv the Subur ban Club, and later went on a sightsee ‘ing tour in the city under the guidance of the jocal soction, special cars con veying the party to poinis of interest in the city, the commiitee in charge con sisting of Mrs. Charles Gans, Mrs. H. i Greensfelder, and Mrs. Eva Blum. HIS IMAME A LIFE SECRET. Norfolk Landmark. Col. A. W. Shaffer, ex-postmaster of Raleigh and a man of State prominence. Norfolk Landmark. Col. A. W. Shaffer, ex-posimaster of Raleigh and a man of State prominence, will tomorrow be buried here. Strange to say, not a living soul, so far as can be learned, knows Colonel Shafler's ziven name. Thirty-five years he re sided in Raleigh, but his most intimate friends were pdver able to learn what the initial letters “A. W.” stood for. Even his widow confesses that she never knew. When President Harrison ap pointed Colonel Shafler postmaster here several wagers were made that he would be compelled to disclose his name. The Government required the full name in subscribing to the oath of office. This Colonel Shaffer refused to give, and it was only through considerable corre spondence that he was permitted to as sume the office without telling his name. Colonel Chaffer nevir gave any reason why he kept his name a strict secret. GIRL STUDENTS’ ROOMS SEARCHED FOR PLUNDER A

In Chancery While Faculty Looks for Evidence. HAMILTON, Ohio, Dec. 4.—The 125 girl students at Oxford Coliege for womgen were locked up in the college chapel yesterday while the members of the faculty went on a fruitless thief hunt. For a long time girl students have teen missing articles of jewelry from their bed chambers. Small sums of money, articles of jewelry, silk stock ings, and skirts disappeared mysteri ously. It was finally decided by the authori ties that a kleptomaniac was at large in the school. To settle the matter and to relieve the innocent of possible Suspicion yesterday's scheme was tried. When the chapel exercises were over the girls were detained while a eom mittee of the tacuitd went through every room. Not a trace of the stolen articles was found. It is evident that the theory of the authorities was wrong, but there is a feeling of relief that the sus picion that existed against several girls ‘has been removed. it is now thought ‘that some sneak thief must have got into the college. ~The girl students did not resent the ‘action of the faculty, as they felt that if any of their number were guilty she ought to be exposed. If not, they wanted all to be free from suspicion. LAMPCON COCKTAILS. And Other Decoctions Compounded by Harvard Students’ “Butler.” Cambridge Dispatch in New York Tribune. William R. Walker, better known as “Butler,” is rapidly working his way into the hearts of Harvard men as one of the most popular characters of the uni versity. In his own little kingdom in the Harvard Union “Butler” rules with gra cious, beneficent sovereiguty. There, from behind his shining counter, he deals out his own peculiar drink concoctions, and makes himself pleasant to freshman and graduate alike by his pleasant word and smile. “Butler” has a moncpoly at Harvard: He is the inventor of cocktails, the suc cessor to “Herbie” Foster, the medium between a hungry student's appetite and his stomach. His realm is the lunch room of the fiew Crimson clubhouse. His Lours are from 12 te 12. His duties are to make change, make drinks. make sandwiches and hot dogs, and always to be pleasant, even when a score of raven ous freshmen are clamoring for food. “Butler” runs his lunch counter on a new and original plan. Everything is done on credit, and until the moment of scttlement comes he never knows what his student patronizers have eaten. Men come in, pick up a sandwich or an eclair and call for an gg and milk. Generally there are ten or fifteen of them at one time: Butler fills their orders, not kuow Ln who has cailed for what, and only heeding the voice that rings from some where in his ears: “Two crimson floats, Butler,” or “I say, Butler, give me an other horse's neck.” When the student has satisfied his ap petite he presents himself before the counting machine, cash in hand. “How much?” says “Butler,” reversing the ordinary dialogue of business. “Two hot dogs and an egg and milk,” comes the reply. Sometimes the student merely puts the right change down on the counter and walks away. “Butler” never minds this, for he knows the change is al ways right. In fact, students know bet ter the worth of what they eat than Butler” does, and if he trusted to him self they would always get more than ther deserved. Since “Herbie” Foster, the father of late night funches at Harvard, has gone awzy, “Butler” reigns supreme. His concoctions are the talk of the college and his name is more familiar than that of many a member of the faculty. Evers Harvard man knows “Butler,” and every Harvard man has tasted his drinks. Ome of the most populer of these is the “Lampoon cocktail,” the art of which, “Butler” says, is knewn only to himself i and the editor of “The Lampoon.” The ‘name in itself is something unheard of out of college and many a freshman has pricked up his ears on hearing it for the first time. Sometimes after a bunch of upper classmen have come forward and called for this drink a timid freshman will appreach the counter and repeat the order. Then “Butler” will give the newcomer some peculiar fizz, and with 4 disagzroecable taste in his mouth the freshman will go away to tell his mates ‘of the splendid drink he has found. “Butler's” gocd nature, however, never lets him carry this matter too far, and he always “‘evens up" with the fresh wan by some special favor next time. Other cenceeiions for which the genial lunch man is famous are bis “crimson floats” and “horse's necks.” The “crimson float” is dedicated to “The Harvard Crimson,” which has ite office on the same floor of the union as the lunch counter. It consists of an iced lemonade with grape juice on top, and lenks much like claret. “Butler” fools ‘many freshmen wiih this drink, making them believe that they are drinking “the real “hirg” A DOG THAT COUNTS.

Yet there are some doubting nersons who will discredit the story. Whether or not the dog is really equal to the reputation that it has acquired it is an observed fact that when the fire alarm rings (there is a bell in that vi cinity) the dog will prick up its ears and go through motions that give every indication that it is couniing the num ber of the box. When the count is finished the doz will start at something livelier than a dog trot in one of several directions. There are not afidaviis that it always runs in the direction of the fire, but there are some persons who believe that even that is a fact. Nevertheless, the dog has several reutes which it fcl lows alternately as the fire bell rings. Sometimes it runs up Manton Avenue. Sometimes it is up Plainfield Street and sometimes it is down Broadway. The animal is a brindle hulldeg, and is a great favorite among the firemen ;e cause of its apparent interest in the de partment. Some persons who have heae) the stories have doubted their truth and have watched for the animal when the bell rang, and each time that it was uw hearing of the bell it started on a race against time.

MAINE HUNTER’S WILD RIDE.

For Nearly a Mile He Clung to a Wounded Deer's Back. Bangor Dispatch in New York World. HL Iara nae AA Ee Jesse Abbott, a middle-aged man and a hunter of many years’ experience, of North Svilivan, had an exciting adven ture in the woods recently. He was cut hunting deer and came upon a big buck. His first shot tumbled the animal over, and Mr. Abbott supposed that he had killed the deer. Rushing forward, he cut the throat of his prize and left him while he went in search of more game. He had taken only a few steps, vhen he heard a noise and was aston ished to see the deer come dashing down upon him. He had not time to use his rifle, being barely able to spring to one side, and then, just as the buck dash.d past, to spring uron the deer’s hack. He secured a firm hold upon the infuriated animal's neck and clung on. A fierce struggle followed. The beast used every tactic at its command to dis lodge its unwelcome burden, while the mar made a determined effort to’ draw his hunting knife. Over fallen trees and through thick brush they wen’ for near ly a mile. The hunter's clothing was torn to shreds and his body was lacer ated and bruised, but he elung on. At last, just as the knife eame from the sheath the deer succeeded in break ing Abbott's hold and throwing him from its back. As he felt himself going the man made cne wild slash with his knife. it was his only chance and he ick it. It proved to be a lucky chance, for the steel reached a vital spoi and the ani mal dropped dead. It was a splendid buck, weighing 314% pounds, which is the record for Maine this year. The bul jet which firs: brought the deer down struck him on the horns, and evidently stunned him, while the first knife wound was not sufficiently deep to reach a vital aathini CARD PLAYERS AND A BABY.

London EXDress. Three civil engineers while traveling this morning from Amiens to Paris be san to play cards on an apparentiy aban doned lunch basket of large dimensions, which had been lving on the hat rack. It appeared to be rather heavy, but they supposed it to be full of plates. The basket was placed on end, and a leath ern portfolio placed on the top to form a table. Suddenly they were startled to hear loud cries, which came from the rasket. It was opened, and a three months-old baby was found inside. The baby was neatly dressed, and bore a card. on which was written: “To be de livered to Mme. Creuil.” The three men did their best to keen the child quiet until the train stopped at the next sta tion. It was Creuil, and there a respect+ ably dressed woman came forward and claimed tc be the owner of the baby. It appears that the child had been put out to nurse near Boulogne. Not having re ceived any pay, the nurse had adopted this way of sending the child back to its mother. It is ¢xpected that the nurse will be arrested.—London Express. Y HOLMES’ HOME MADE

A Change in Foreign Postage Rate Would Largely Deplete Revenues—Decrease im Train Robberies—Amounts Coliected by Uncle Sam for Civil Suits. Lands in Public Parks—Uniforms for Naval Prisoners. POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT. During the last fiscal year, 26,002,032 letters went to England, France, and Germany, at 5 cents per letter. The Gov ernment received $1.300101.60 for thie service. Should Congress accept the recommendation of the Postmaster Gen eral that the rate of postage in the future be 2 cents per each ounce or a fraction thereof to the countries men tioned instead of 5 cents, the loss in revenue would be about 2780000, Letters and parcels to the number of 22,831,400 were transmitted in the reg istered mailg during the last fiscal year. Of this number 3,203,257 was free mat ter. As compared with the preceding fiscal year, this represents an increase of 2,010,865 in paid registration, $1,570, 250.44 was collected in registry fees. Only 171 articles were lost. That is a little more than one-thousandth of 1 per cent. The topographic division of the de partment has been transferred to the Busch Building in E Street. The space left vacant is being divided among the other divisions, Postoffices in the United States to the number of 1,746 have been burglarized this year: 287 burglars were arrested. The postoflices burned number 669. Only 11 mail teams were robbed, against 37 for last year; but 465 letter boxes were robbed, as against 158, A telegram announcing the arrest of George Ferguson and F, Barrett, who are charged with having robbed the postoffice at Montpelier, Idaho, Novem ber 27, was received at the department yesterday. TREASURY DEPARTMENT Secretary Shaw returned today from New York city where he has been at tending to Administration business. The United States Government col lected $220,879.03 on civil suits in the last fiscal year. Judgments amounting to $364,141.62 were rendered in favor of the United States in civil suits pending in the same period. The amount actually collected on these was $76,309.64, while $172,207.98 was obtained on judgments rendered in former years; $72,259.41 was realized in other ways in civil suits. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. In the statistics of cities compiled by the Department of Labor and edited by Carroll D. Wright, the Commissioner, Washington city has 3,597.25 acres of public parks. Only two cities in the Union have more than this. New York with 6,838.60 acres, and Los Angeles, Cal., with 3,720.04 acres. WAR DEPARTMENT.

“7 ABI is being prepared at the War ‘Department extending to officers the privilege of depositing their savings with army paymasters at 4 per cent in terest. Referring to this matter in his recent annual report, Adjt. Gen. Henry C. Corbin says: “As the entire time and abilities of officers of the army are absorbed in the service of the Government, and it is highly undesirable that they should be permitted to be engaged in or identified with business enterprises of any kind in the localities where they may be serving, it is deemed but simple justice to them that they be given an opportunity and cffered inducements to save a portion of their salaries, that, in case of their death, provision may exist to provide, at least in part, for their families and in this manner alleviate some distress, if pot entire destitution.” The advisability of creating an entirely new department bureau for the Artillery Corps is a topie of discussion in the department. At present the chief of the Artillery Corps has an office attached to the headquar ters of the army. The project now is to give the chief of artillery, Col. Wallace Randolph, the rank of brigadier general and ‘establish a separate and distinet bureau at the War Department. NAVY DEPARTMENT. Uniforms to be worn by naval prison have been devised in the office of the es Advocate of the Navy and will fioon be adopted in practice. They are of dark gray cloth with a cap to match, and of two weights to meet the varying climatic conditions where the naval prisons are located. For some time it has been regarded as unfair to the jackie or marine who has a clean record to be forced to see a comrade in dsgrace still. wearing the regulation United States uniform. The change; it is thought, will tend to im prove the morale of the service. Another change, was the introduction of a sys tem of probation. Under it, sentence is suspended whenever there appears to be extenuating efrcamstauces in the prison. er's case and he is sent back to regular duty, his behavior being closely watched. Monthly reports are made upon bis con duct and if at the end of his term he hes established a good record, he is fully restored to duty. Otherwise he is sent to prison and in course of time dis ‘honorably discharged from the service, The, Navy Department is endeavoring to ‘secure for thé Government the same advantage in regard to military devices

patented by naval officers as it now has in those patented by officers of the army. In the latter case the Goverment may make use of the device and either manu facture or have manufactured for itself any such device without the payment of royalty. Bills to accomplish this pur pose for the Navy Department have been introduced from time to time in Con gress but have failed to pass. Another effort will be made at this session. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. Secretary Wilson, accompanied by his son, Jasper Wiisen, who is his private secretary, returned to Washington fo day from Chicago. They have been vis iting the International Live Stock Ex position Dr. A. M. Tarrington is necting chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry. Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau, is in ‘Boston to take charge of the inspection of cattle afllicted with the footand mouth disease. C. F. Saylor, special agent in charge of the beet sugar investigation, has re turned to Washington. He has visited all the sugar beet districts of the coun try and is engaged in writing his report for the Secretary INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. There are now ia the office of Assist ant Attorney General Van Deventer 194 appeals from decisions of the Commis sioner of the General Land Office awalt ing consideration. There are also twen ty-six motions of review of decisions heretofore rendered in such appeals, forty miscellaneous matters and twelve requests for law opinions iy the As ‘sistant Attorney General Gov. John G. Brady, of Alaska, in his annual report to Secretary Hitcheock goes deeply into the subject of land laws and transportation; recommends that Alaska be made a lighthouse district: states that considerable progress has ‘been made by the natives and Eskimos toward civilization; speaks of agricul tural possibilities and stock raising: the wealth of timber, and the great variety of edible fish; the mineral industry and many other important subjects, Governor Brady also says: “We want to be represented in these institutions (West Point and Annapolis). There are boys here who are reading of generals and admirals, and some of them aspire to attend these schools that they, In time, may be prepared to become gen erals and admirals. We are sure that the material is good and we are anxious that the district may have its quota at these places of instruction.” The revision of section 4883, Revised Statutes, which, as amended, permits patents to be issued without the neces gity for the signature of the assistant secretary pleases Judge Campbell great ly. Before this change of law the as SPANISH WAR VETERANS ENTERTAIN ARMY NURSES

Program of Music and Recitations En joyed by Young Women Who Cared for Uncle Sam's Afflicted. The Spanish War Veterans’ Associa tion, the National Army and Navy, Span ish War Veterans, and the National Auxiliary Spanish War Veterans, gave a reception last night at 612 E Street ngrthwest in honor of the Society Span ish-American War Nurses, which has been in session since Monday. No for mal invitations were jesucd, but the Veterans’ hall was crowded with mem bers and friends of the association. A program of music and recitations was rendered. Among those who con tributed were: Corps Commander Fred erick 8. Hodgson, Thomas McCabe, Chaplain Couden, Col. E. J. Dimmick, Mrs. Flora ‘A. Lewis, Mrs. Ellen Spen cer Mussey, Chapiain Charle.

MAJOR SYLVESTER PLANS FOR PERUVIAN POLICE Chief of Local Force Outlines Organiza tion at Request of Mr. Calderon, the Peruvian Minister. The Peruvian governm-nt some time ago requested Major Sylvester, Superin tendent of Police, to prepare a plan for the organization of the police in the larger cities of that country, Major Sylvester yesterday tarned his plan over to Mr. Calderon, the Peruvian minister. It is proposed to organize the forces in the Peruvian cities after the Metropoli tan police system, The system practiced in the cities of Guatemala was suggested by Major Syl vester four years ago, and he sent Pri vate Francis Joseph to Guatemala City to put the plan inte operation, Private Joseph is now chief of police in that city.

Casts from the originals are struck off and sent to different parts of the world iz exchange for curios not in possession of the Museum. Prof. Holmes has in his office the original and four imitations of a milling plate he obtained in Jamaica some time ago. The plate originally came from Guatemala. The imitation will be forwarded shortly to different parts of the world. Prof. True has established a system of labeling in the Museum which will be a great help to sightseers.

Davis has taken up his work at the head of the plumbing division, and is ‘devoting his attention to the sanitary ‘and construetion problems, which are referred to that office for solution. Mr. Davis finds the duties of his new position congenial and less laborious than those of the Assistant Inspector of Buildings, which position he recently vacated. While care is required in issuing per mits for plumbing, and computations have to be made on many applications; the routine work of the office is less than in passing upon plans for building. Nothing has been done by the Inspee tor of Buildings to fill the vacant posi tion in his office. Several applications are on file, and these are being consid ered, but no decision has been reached regarding the appointment. Snowden Ashford, the Inspector, has expressed ‘the opinion that no haste is necessary in selecting an assistant. The rush for the season is now past, and he feels that ‘sufficient time can be given to the ques tion to secure a good man. What is needed is a practical architect, who has also some experience in clerical duties. Mr. Ashford believes that among the applicants under consideration the ideal man may be found. Edward A. Fuller, secretary to the Superintendent of the Water Depart ment, combines the duties of public of fice with those of newspaper work. Mr. Fuller resides at Hyattsville, and is lo cal correspondent of Baltimore and Washington papers. Besides, he Is edi tor of the weekly paper, and with his partner runs a job printing office. Mr. Fuller pleads guilty to the charge of being a busy man. ROCKVILLE JUDGE FINES LIQUCR LAW VIOLATORS

HUGHES FOUND INGURPETERT BY JURY No Attack on Attorney Niles at Hearing, KNEW LITTLE OF HER MEANS Testifies She Does Not Care to Trouble Abcut Money Matters—Has No Living Heirs, Word has been received here that Mrs. Louise Beaucharip Hughes was on Tues day declared by a sheriff's jury in New York to be incompetent to manage her own estate and person. Mrs. Hughes came to reside in Wash ington in 1502, and lived here until about eighteen months ago, when it is said she was placed in Dr. Kellogg's sanitarium at Riverdale, N. Y., at the instance of Attorney Edward Niles, of this city. Her husband, David M. Hughes, died in 15884, and it is said left her an estate worth about half a million dollars, Some time ago Attorney Andrew J. Shipman, acting In behalf of Mrs. Hughes’ [Iriends and relatives, com menced proceedings to secure her release from Kellogg's sanitarium, and an in quiry into her mental condition was or dered. The hearing took place Tuesday in New York city. Mrs. Hughes’ Property. Her property consists of a trust estate of $300,000 held in trust for her under the will of her husband and in the cus tody of the United States Trust Com pany, from which an income of $10,600 a year is derived, a house in Washington and some property in Louisiana, the value of which is not known. At the hearing Mrs. Hughes was rep resented by Charles Blandy, and former Judge W. M. K. Oleott appeared fo pro tect the interests of Edward G. Niles, who had her placed in the sanitarium of Dr. Theodore H. Kellogg, at River dale. From the beginning it was agreed between Mr. Blandy and Mr. Olcott that nothing in the nature of an attack upon Mr. Niles should be brought out in this proceeding. Asked respecting her property and that of her husband at the time he died, Mrs. Hughes said: “We exchanged our property. He took his and I took mine. I bad about %£100,00¢ and he about $250, 060. He gave rearly everything away, because he said I had plenty.” She said she did not know where her money was. “lI don’t trouble myself about it,” she said. Attorney Darlington Testifies. Attorney J. J. Darlington, of this city, who was called as a witness, said that she bad saved from the income that she was entitled to about $50,000, which had been in several banks in Washington. He told of a negro maid who had gone with Mrs. Hughes to one of the banks in Washington and endeavored to get her to draw £12,000, but he interfered with this scheme, and testified that Mrs. Hughes demanded to know by what authority he had interfered with her money affairs. No Living Relatives. Charles Poe, of this city, of counsel for Mr. Niles, who returned to Washing ton yesterday, when shown an ac count of the proceedings published, said: “The account is substantially correct except that the jury of inquisition also found that Mrs. Hughes had no living relatives and that the persons named (Grassi, who were irstrumental in insti tuting the proceedings, are not her heirs, “The jury also found the value of Mrs. Hughes’ property; her real estate in this city was valued at $10,000; her per sonal estate at 3300, and cash in the hands of the Trust Company in New York about $4,000. Her income was. shown to be about $10,000 annually.” CARNEGIE LIBRARY DEDICATION PCSTPONFD The dedication of the Washintgon Li brary huilding, the gift of Andrew Car negie to the National Capital has been postponed from Becember 16 to January 7, on account of the illness of the donor.

This bill meets with the unqualified ap proval of the authorities at the War De partment and by direction of the Presi dent will be strictly enforced. The bill reads as follows: “Any person who shall maintain a cock pit for the fighting of cocks or who shall engage in cockfighting in a cock pit, or shall attend as a spectator of cockfighting in a cockpit, on any day when cockfighting is not lawfully li censed to take place by the municipality in which the cockpit is situated, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $200, in money of the United States, or by im prisonment not exceeding six months, or both, in discretion of the court. “Any persons who shall maintain or take part in a game of chance in a cock pit, whether the cockpit be lawfully li censed or not, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $200, in United States money, or by imprisonment for not ex ceeding six months, or both, in the dis cretion of the court.” SIXTH BATTALION SMOKER.

A unique program has been issued, which calls for the members to appear without uniform and with pipes as the only equipment. The quartermaster will issue tobacco, matches, and field rations. This announcement is made by order of the majority: “For the purpose of the evening the force will be divided—the attacking partly, under Gen. Hi Larity, will be des ignated the ‘Whites;’ the defenders, with Gen. A. P. Preciation, the ‘Greens.’ The ‘Blues,” under General Gloom, will be treated as a Bimini enemgy. First call will be sounded at 8 o'clock FELL DEAD AT HIS HOMF John Johnson, colored, twenty-five years old, fell dead at his home, 923 Van Stret southwest, yesterday afternoon. The coroner gave a certificate of death from natural causes. A CAUSE OF HEADACHE. One Very Common Cause Generally Overlooked. pr sn ch IB ce an” J Overlooked. Headache is a symptom, an indication of derangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate because so many diseases have headache as a prominent syinptom; derangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease jung trouble, eye strain or ill fitting glasses all produce headaches and if we could always locate the organ which is ‘at fault the cure of obstinate head aches would be a much simpler matter. However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forelead, the cause is now known to be cararrh of the head, and throat; when the headache is located in back of head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver. At any rate catarrh i: the most com mon cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt dis appeazance of the headache. There is at present no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remedy in tablet form, composed of anti septics like red gum, blood root which act upon the blood and cause the elimi nation of the catarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels. Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher In one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She says: “I suffered daily from severe frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties, 1 had suffered from catarrh, more or less for years, but never thought it was the cause of my headaches, but finally be came convinced that such was the case because the headaches were always worse whenever I had a cold or fresh attack of catarrh. “Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets were high ly recommended to me as a safe and pleasant catarrh cure and after using a few fifty eent boxes which I procured from my druggist’s I was surprised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good.” Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package, under the guarantee of the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine (found in so many catarrh cures) nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal disease, Lalli Bs IIB, _ Schedule effective November 30, 1802. i i

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Thq initial transactions in this morning's Stock Market resulted almost uniformly in a higher range of prices than prevailed at the close of business yesterday. Trad ‘ing was in comparativeiy small volume, aciivity being restrained by renewed ap prehension of a pinch in the mouey mar ket some time during the present month. The only active feature of the market which showed any pressure in the early dealings was Texas and Pacific. St Paul. Pennsvivania, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Reading were all steals. Brookivn Rapid Transit continued firm and there was large dealing in Manhat tan Railway well above yesterday's fi nal figures. Metropolitan Street Rail way was rather heavy.

One hundred and fifty members of the Lambs Club and 100 other bright fellows sent to far away Guam yesterday probable the most in teresting collection of epistolary wit, ‘wisdom, art, and poetry ever consigned to mail bags. The letters were all ad dressed to R. Percy Crandall, surgeon of the United States Navy, now stationed at Guam. “Sunshine Sailorman™ they have called him in the Lambs Club for ten years, for there was always sunshine and something jolly going when Crandall wae there. During the Spanish-American war he was on the Jlowa with Capt. “Bob” Evans, and was the “‘sunsiiine sailor’ there. When the war was over he was sent out to various parts of the United States 10 enlist recruits for the navy, and made friends wherever he went. Then last July came the order for him to take charge of (he naval station in Guam. The change from the Lambs Ciub to the whispering palms and the earthquakes of Guam was more than the surgeon could bear in silence, and he appealed to Frank Unger to write. The response was like magic. There were jetters in every known language and many dialects. There were pictures, poems, quotiations, counsel and consolation. De Wolf Hopper sent a missive in iambie verse. Dixey wrote a sonnet, Frederic Remington enclosed a companion piece sketch of a convivial scene in a cozy Laembs Ciub corner and opposite a man scated under a soli tary palm looking out to sea. “Ed’* Campbell, “Bob” Reed and =a dozen other artists Sent sketches. Clay Green, "Tom" Clarke, Wilton Lackaye, “Nate” Salsbury, McKenzie Gordon, Vic. tor Harris and oiaers wrote cheering letters. Esau, ape-man, took pen in band and sent a few words of cheer. Far apd wide Mr. Unger sent tele grams, and every club from San Fran cisco to Boston responded, and dozens of friends forwarded their greetings.

The Whole Business Under Control of the Municipal Governments. Youth's Companion, In places like Bergen, Christiania and other large cities, the municipal govern ment takes entire charge of the matter. There is a central employment bureau under municipal control, and twice each year—once in summer and once in win ter—dissatisfied servants ean look out for a new master and mistress, and dis satisfied employers can seek to improve their service. The bureau is open for one week, and the mistress who wanis a maid can go to it, fill in a form stating her requirements and the wages she is willing to pay, and then leave all the rest to the bureau. Her card is placed on file and the position she offers Is posted in a con specuous place on a blackboard. Men and women servants in want of work examine these cards, and when they de cide upon applying for any position sub mit their recommendations to the bu reau for examination. If these are sat isfactory, the applicant receives a card to the prospective employer, available for one day only. Should the lady hire the servant, she fills up the card with a list of duties, wages and terms of service agreed upon, FE I I. A me and returns it to the bureau, where it is carefully filed for future reference if necessary. If the applicant does not suit, the card is returned with ‘not satisfactory,” which indicates that other applicants may be sent. No matter how greal the emergency the new mistress cannot expect her maid for one week, for the girl must give her present employer that length of tune to fill her place. The law protects alike the employer and the emploped. The rights of the maid include a comfortable room and bed, good and wholesome food and prompt and regular pavment of wages. In return she must perform her duties faithfully and be strictly honest, obedi ent and respectful during her term of service, Should either party fail to comply with these requirements complaint must be made to a magistrate, who investi gates the charges and renders a decision. The offended servant or the offended mistress cannot settle the difficulty by parting company. No matter how tired of the bargain mistress or maid may be come, they cannot terfninate it until the time agreed upon, excepi by permission of the maristrate. TRACKED BY HIS FINGER TIPS. Criminal Caught by the Bertillon Sys tem Under Remarkable Conditions. Faris Letter in London Telegraph. Scheffer has made no further state ments about the murder of Joseph Rei bel, the man servant of a dentist in the Faubourg St. Honore. The ~apital fact is that he has confessed the deed, and there is no doubt whatever about his guilt. M. Bertillon of the anthropo metrical department is, in the meantime, highly complimented all around for his curious identification of the murderer through the finger marks icft on the windew im the room where the crime was committed. The identification re calls Louis Umbach’'s sensatjonal ro mance, “Les Cing Doigts de Bironk.” M. Bertillon has been proving that trutk is stranger than fiction, but he is the first to adisit that not only the Eng iish, but aiso the Chinese, have heen in the field before him in applying the fin ver-print process to the identification of individuals. Where he has scored, how ever, over his predecesso-s is by his careful classification of criminal records of limb measurement and of general thysical peculiarities. By these he was enalled to use the photographs of th:z finger marks which led to the discovery that the man Scheffer, and no other, was ihe author of the crime of the Fatbourg St. Honcre. The police, learning from M. Bertillon the result he had arrived at by his photographic process, lost no time in having Scheffer’s family watched. Then a letter from the murderer to his mother, sent from Marseilles, was inter cepted, as explained, and detectives were dispatched to that town. Before they icacked Marseilles, Scheffer, seeing tha game was up, surrendered to the local police, With reference to M. Bertillon's firger-print system, he divides digital impressions into four classes. The first is “L.,” or fingers of which the grooves, lines, or (af he terms them) the “lacets” have an oblique direction to the left. Next comes the letter “J” division of digits, with lines having an oblique direction to the right. Then thera is “0,” with circular or tourbillon grooves converging to a center; and finally the “U” division, in which the grooves are like that letter reversed. These impressions come from the thumb and three of the fingers, and are designated as L, J, O, and U. M. Bertillon states that he had great troubie ewing to the mingling of the im prints on the glass. There were also broken lines or grooves owing to lesions of the tissues caused by burns. After much difficulty the expert succeeded in photographing separately the imprints of each finger, and the rest was plain sailing. He had ouly to go to his collection of records, and there he found the measurement of Scheffer’s fingers, which tallied with that of the imprints on the glass. It is recessary to remember that while M. Bertillon was making his experiments, the police, suspecting but not sure of Scheffer’s guilt, were on his track. They went to a match factory where he had worked, and where he was known among his mates ag "George the Artilleryman,”’ The man had left Paris, and then the Marggllles journey of the detectives wus deci upon after M. Bertillon’s re sults had fastened the guilt on the real culprit. In the meantime, M. Bertillon’'s resulis led to the discharge of an in nocent person who had been arrested on suspicion for the murder of Joseph Reibel, SPECTACLE-WEARING GERMANS. London Chronicle. The German Emperor has entered upon a new phase of his development, if we are to believe the statement that he was lately seen reading the newspaprs in a railway train with the help of a pince-pez. Nor is this to be wondered at when we remember the lament once made by the Kaiser himself, who, speak ing of his school days at Cassel, re marked that out of a class of twenty, “no fewer than eighteen of his fellow pupils ware spectacles, while two af these, with their glasses on, could not even see the length of the table.” As compared with the other nations, the Germans may be described as a specta cle-wearing people, and there can be no doubt that the main cause of their de fective sight is the peculiar character of their type, which is most trying to the eyes. The present Emperor, no less than Bismarck, has always protested on pa triotic grounds, against the subs.itution of the Roman for the Teutonic, or black Jetter, character in print, and both have had to suffer equally for their chauvin Trusted Government Servanis Might Make Fortunes by Talking. London News. The maxim which tells that silence is golden often errs on the side of accu racy, for some secrets, the market value of which runs well into thousands, are owned by poor men whose wages do not induce any little attentions on the part of the income tax collector. This is especially the case with gov ernment secrets. On the Thames marshes there is a small cottage which hides the secret Russia offered £40,000 for a few vears ago, namely, that con cerning the situation of the submarine mines which guard the metropolis. The cottage is stationed among dozens of similar structures, and five men, who go to and from their daily work like ordi nary beings, alone know which it is and how the electric switchboard it contains can be so manipulated as to sink a pow erful fleet in ten minutes. Either of these trusted servants could sell his gocret for a fortupe without the slight est difficulty, and yet ig content to teil for a pound or twe a week and preserve an unbroken silence. At a certain seaport on the east coast ‘there lives a grocer who could fet his premises to a European power at a ren. tal of thousands a year if he chose. The reason for this is that adjoining his cel lars are the passages communicating With the mines which control the en trance to the harbor, and even he is not permitted to gratify his curiosity, for several sets of doors, fitted with secret lecks, defy the intrusion of any unau thorized individual. The Key to the mine chamber will probably be found attached to the person of a non-commissioned of ficer of the local garrison, for such priceless secrets are always intrusted to reliable non-coms, passing rich on half a crown a day. Whenever a secret treaty is arranged between this country and foreign powers it is duly “set up” and printed by Gov ernment rrinters long before the public bas any idea that negotiations are ix progress. These printers are paid no ex orbitant wage for their silence, though any one of them could sell the heads of the treaty to a foreign nation for a smal; fortune, Nevertheless, it is quite possible for any one of these individuals to turn his position to account, as was proved a few vears ago when a compositor tried io secure copies of his comrades’ slips and boasted that he couid sell {he secret they contained to an evening journal fo: £450. In a British battleship there are saic to be quer 500 secrets, any one of which woulda command a fabulous price if pul up for sale. In buflding the ship 30 workmen or more are engaged, to whom the majority of these secrets are per. fectly lucid. But, in spite of the fac! that their wages seldom range above a week, for a piece of secret informatior to leave the dockyard is an occurrence practically unheard of. The postmaster of a small village ir Ohio owns a secret which many un. scrupulous folk would pay much ta know His name is Gustav Francks, and, be. ing an experienced chemist, he hit upe: a method of removing ink stains from used postage stamps a short time ago and to his credit be it said that he lai the discovery before the American Gov. ernment, He was offered $50,000 for hi: silence, a bribe which he sioutly re fused on the grounds that his honest; was above price, though he agreed tha a certain portion of this sum should be settled upon his lucky relatives. A ER St. Louis Globe Democrat. THE WASHINGTON TIMES, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 4, 1902. KNOW HOW TO KEEP SECRETS. mdm News CANADA'S MISTAKE. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada’s premier, at the opening of the new Produce Ex change in Liverpool, said two" things which will attract some attention. One of these was that Canada could raise enough foed for 100,000 C06 people. The other was that the country would give immigrants 160 acres of land free of cost. The presumption is that immi grantg from the British islands were meant. The 160 acres of land is the equivalent of the gaurter scction given free by the United States Government under the homesteecad law of 1862. Canada would hove made a leng stride toward getting the 100.000,000 people if she had accepted the invitation given her by the thirteen British colonies in 1775 and had risen in rebellion against George III. Had Canada joined the oth er colonies of England on this side of the Atlantic at that time ske would have been part of the pation established soon afterward, and would have shared in its expansion, progress, and glory, In that case, Canada at the present time would have had more than 25.000, 000 of people, instead of the 5,060,000 found there in 1501, by the census-takers. She would be growing at least twice as fast as she Is now. Her outlook in the world would have been vastly larger and brighter than it ever can be ag a British dependency or an independent nation, Canada's proposition to coax immi grants from Great Britain is probably due, in a large degree, to the fear of Americanization which comes from the greater growth of the United States, and the immigration of so many persons from this country into her western do minions. Some Canadian statesmen are taking the view that the {immigration from this side of the border is a men ace to the British connection The American settlers in Canada, they be lHeve, will carry their old preferences with them, and will become the nucleus of an annexation party which may be come formidable. A! present there is an absence of annexation talk in Can ada, but the widening gap between the United States and that region and the superior prosperity and general attrac tiveness of this country will tell in pub lic sentiment on the other side of tha line. Canadian statesmen may as well prepare for the annexation issuc, for it will soon present itself. REAL ESTATE. AT A SACRIFICE PRICE, THIS FINE HOME. Only $3,500.

Christmas Day is welcomed at the northern fur posts of the Great Hudson's Bay Company by a firing of cannon from the snow-muffled bastions. Before the stars have faded chapel services begin. Frequently, on either Christmas or New Year Day, a grand feast is given the tawny-skinned babitues of the fort, who come shuffling to the main messroom with no other announcement than the lifting of the latch, and billet them selves on the hospitality of a host that has never turned hungry Indian from lis doors, A great jangling of bells announces the huskies (dog trains) scampering over the crusted snow drifts. A babel of barks and curses follows, for the huskies celebrate their arrival by tangling them selves’ up in their harness and enjoying a free fight. Dogs unharnessed, in troop the trap pers to the banquet hall, flinging packs of tightly roped peltries down promiscu ously, to be sorted next day. One Indian enters just as he has left the hunting field, clad from head to heel in white caribou, with the antlers left on the ca pote as a decoy. His squaw has togged out for the ocea sion in a comical medley of brass brace lets and finger rings, with a bear's claw and ermine ruff which no city connois seur could possibly mistake for rabbit. If a daughter yet remian unappropriated she will display the gayest attire—red flannel galore, red shawl, red scarf, with ‘perhaps, an apron of white fox skin and moccasins garnished in colered grasses. The braves outdo even a vain young squw. Whole fox, mink or otter skins ‘have been braided to the end of their hair, and hang down in two plaits to the floor. Whitest of buckskin has been or namented with brightest of beads and over all hangs the gaudiest of blankets; it may be a muskox skin with the feats !of the warrior in rude drawings on the smooth side. Of the feast little need be said. Like the camel, the Indian lays up store for the morrow, judging from his capacity i for weeks of morrows. A French-Canadian fiddler strikes up 'a tuneless jig that sets the Indians pounding the floor in figureless dances with moecasined heels till midday glides into midnight and midnight to morning. 1 remember hearing of one such midday feast in Red River settiement, that pro longed itself past four of the second imoraing. RABBITS AS ACROBATS. London News. The rat is, as no one will doubt, a very fair climber. He can scamper about anywhere in the roof of a barn or cap ascend the ivy that grows on the house wall, and make the lives of the pigeons in their cotes anything but happy ones. The rabbit, on the other hand, is not usually accounted a climbing animal. A writer in "Field" describes the astonish ment of his sisters at seeing a rabbit jump from the bough of a tree, and, picking itself up, *“scamper off rather dazed to its warren.” Whenever a rab bit is found in a tree, except when he is carried there by flood or left there by a receding snowdrift, it will be found that a sloping trunk or other easy method of approach has been made use cf. He is, however, very expert at climbing stone walls that bound his fields, and even the wire netting that the farmer vainly imagines will keep him from the choicest crops. We have seen rabbits run up the face of a quarry to their holes towafd the top, a feat which we have not found it easy to imi tate. FINANCIAL. THE WASHINGTON LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY.

The action of Second Vige President Henderson. of the Reading Road, yester day in informing the Washington coal committee of his purpose in supplying the city with larger shipmeats than heretofore, and in further advising them as to about the amount that could be expected jor the next three months has greatly cleared the situation Thomas W.

Hillis Co., the distributing agents of the Pennsylvania Railroad in this section, the exact condition with reference to that company. Messrs.

Practically all of the local institutions Lave been supplied with enough coal for their immediate needs. The Soldiers’ Home has just received a sufficient ‘amount to keep the old soldiers warm for a time and the hospitals and asyiums are being cared for by the local dealers who gave them the first consideration. al Sternberg, chairman of the j izens’ Relief Committee, has called a ‘meeting of that committee for Saturday “afternoon at 8 o'clock, for the purposo of considering the coal situation with reference to the poor. 7 Second CHARGED WITH LARCENY.

New York Times, A very striking ceremony takes place every day at the Turkish war office in Constantinople at sunset. At the sound of a bugle bodies of troops march out from all the surrounding barracks. They take un their places in two large hollow squares, with a band close by. The band strikes up “The Sultan's March,” and after that the bugles sound and the drums beat a long roll. Then a single bugle sounds: the troops spring to at tention, fix bayonets, and oresent arms. Another sound from the bugle, and every man calls out “Padishah,” while as the sound dies away each makes the Turk ich calaam. Three times the ceremony is performed, after which the band plays a march and the soldiers disappear as quickly as they came.

Adelaide Advertiser, Adelaide Advertiser, At one time rabbits, when there was practically no den.and for (heir skins or carcasses, cost the Australlan squatters hundreds of thousands of pcunds an nually to destroy, but at present men in the commonwealth who trap them and also capture hares, kangaroos, wallabies, foxes, opossums, and native bears, earn £500,000 annually. Twenty milllons of Australian rabbit skins were so'd in London last vear. They represented a money value of £112,090. Besides, 609 bales containing 1,800,000 skins were sent to France, while there were 2,656, 440 frozen rabbits in their furs sent to England from Victoria alone. Thus the trappers in 1501 were responsible for the destruction of over 24,000,600 of rab bits, of the value of nearly £250,000 SOLD BRASS FILINGS FOR GOLD. Boston Dispatch to the Baltimore American. Samuel Protski, sentenced here to day to four to six years, and wanted in Baltimore, Montreal and other cities, has a gold-brick game of the latest pat tern. He was sent down today for sell ing 160 pounds of brass filing to Meyer Cohen in 1884 for $5,000. He claimed to have been a convict in the Siberian mines; that the captain of his guard fell in love with a beautiful woman, and, after a long courtship, they fled to Amer ica. The captain had charge of the 160 pounds of “gold dust” and Brotski was to sell it for fear the Russian govern ment would discover the deserting cap tain. Brotski has been in Sing Sing for securing $12,000 by his story in New York, and is one of the slickest opera tors in his line in America. He is sixty six years old. Good Evening. Buy Sugar Loaf.
