At the session of the Baltimore conference of the southern Methodist church in Baltimore yesterday the report of Presiding Elder RRS. Hongh of the Washington district was sub- mitted, saving: “The Washington district has made healthy progress in every department of our work. Except in one or two cases there have not been any widespread revivals, but one or two have had some remarkable exhibi- tions of the spirit. In all the charges there has been a healthy increase, and we report 528 conversions. You could not find anywhere a more single-hearted lot of men than our work- ers, As to our material interests, we have made good progress. In South Washington the | cotiéetions. amounting to 71.000. were rather remarkable for that place. At Falls Church there is a church in course of erection and commends itself to the church extension board. There has been wonderful progress on all lines om Hillsboro circuit. A new parsonage was completed at Middleburg and is ready to be deeupied.” i Knights of Honor.

A Naval Cadet Put In Step. “T shall never forget,” said a naval officer to * Stan reporter today, “a very funny thing that happened at Annapolis while I was there asacadet and Commander MeUalla was com- mandant of the battalion. It was at the time of the annual parade and there were fully 2,000 spectators present. We were marching up and down the plain. when. just in front of the sup- erintendent’s house, the captain thought he saw one of the men, named Taylor, get out of step, #0 he called out to him to get im step. The cadet, it seems, was not out of step, and the captain was laboring under an optical de- Iusion. ‘Taylor foolishly talked back, telling the officer that he was in error. This made MeCalla mad and he halted the battalion on the instant and told the unfortunate cadet to step to the front. When he had done so he or- dered him to march at the proper step to the B¥maasium, which is several hundred yards awn) on ut Taylor, marching with his gun a shoulder, with MeCalla about fifty feet behind him, and the whole battalion and crowd of visitors laughing until they could searceiy contain themselves. When Taylor had reached the sea wall he halted and the captain gave him the order “about face.” Then the captain yelled to the band master to play “See the Conquering Hero Comes,” and to that tune the poor fellow was forced to march clear back to his place in line, accompanied by the shouts of the multitude. He never could get awa from the nick-name of “Conquering Hero. It was « cruel thing to-do. a se A New Club Organized.

THE CONFESSION OF FAITH. ges Recommended by the Presby- tery of Washington City. The Washiggton City presbytery yesterday afternoon completed the consideration of the report of the committee recommending certain changes in the confession of faith. After the report closed in yesterday's Staz the following changes were approved as presented in the re- port of the committee: Section 4, chapter X, reads as follows: “Oth- ers not elected, although they may be called by the ministry of the Word and may have some common operstions of the Spirit, yet they never truly came unto Christ there- fore cannot be saved; much less can! not professing the Christian religion be saved in any other way whatsoever, be they ever so dil- igent to frame their lives according to’ the light of nature and the law of that religion they do profess, and to assert and maintain that bot grad is very pernicious and to be de- tested.” eee fat halt of th secti [eet as neh atthe e section, ing “‘mue! _ men” and ending “and to be de- tested.” Chapter IV, section 1, treats of the creation, and the committee advised the omission of the words “of nothing” and “tin the space of six days” in the sentence declaring that God made of nothing the world in the space of six days, Divorce is alluded to as follows in section 6, ehapter XXIV: “Although the corruption of men be such as is apt to study arguments un- duly to put asunder those whom Ciod hath joined together in marriage, yet nothing but adultery or such willful desertion as can no way be remedied by the church or civil magistrate is canse suficient of dissolving the bond of marriage,” &c, The committee advised the omission of the ¢lanse “or such willful desertion as can no way be remedied by the church or civil magistrate.” The following suggestions of the committee were also approved: “Insert at some suitable place, as. for ex- ample, instead of chapter IIT. section 7, the fol- lowing for substance: ‘God's eternal decree | hindreth no cne from accepting Christ, 28 He is freely offered to men in the Gospel. It should not be so construed as to contradict the declarations of Scripture. that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but should have everlasting life; that Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world; and thut God is not willing that any shouid perish, but that all should come to repentance. “Insert at some suitable place. as,for example, at the end of chapter XXV. a statement of the obligation and privilege of the church of Christ to go intoall the world and preach the gospel of divine love and salvation to every creature.” PROPOSED CHANGES WIlicA WERE REJECTED. The following proposed changes were re- jected by the presbytery. ‘ In regard to chapter VI, section 3, and chap- ter XI, section 1, the report recommended: “So guard the statement of imputation both of sin and righteousness as to relieve it of all im- pression of legal fiction.” Section 6, chapter XXV, reads as follows: ‘There is no other head of the church but the | Lord Jesus Christ, nor can the pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof, but is. that anti- christ, that man of sin and son of perdition that exalteth himself in the church against Christ and all that is called God.” The report favored the omission of all of this section after the words “Lord Jesus Christ.” The committee also recommended the omis- ‘ion of the words ~ = ists or other idolators” in section 3, chapter REIV, and “also all other controversial allusions to the church of Rome.” ) ‘The report as adopted by the presbytery was recommitted to the committee with instruc- | tions to prepare an answer to the overtures of | the general assembly. The presbytery then finally adjourned. —_— = THE PAY OF JURORS. Why Was it Reduced From $3 to $2 Per Diem? To the Fditor of Tr Evestxo Star: Having recently served a term on the Circuit Court jury and been out all of one night con- sitlering 4 case involving a few dollars! and cents the small pay jurors receive has | been brought to my attention in a practical manner. Twenty years ago I received $3 per diem for jury service. Why 33}¢ per cent has been taken off and the pay of jurors fixed at #2 per day no one seems to know. Why it was doue or by whom is one of those things no fel- | low can find out. The change was made some time during the administration of President Hayes, when Frederick Douglass was marshal, and that gentleman has been blanied for it, but I am informed by one who kagws that Mr. Douglass not only had nothing to do with the change but that fey did not know of it at the | time and continued to pay jurors at the old | rate until his attention was called to the change | in the law. I am told by the same authority that the old law has neyer been formally re- pealed, but that the change was made in an appropriation bill, either. it is supposed, by blunder of some one in the Attorney General’ office or on motion of some miserly member of Congress, The attention of the present At- torney General and of the Senate committee on appropriations is respectfully called to. this | matter. Much is said avout the difficulty experienced by the courts in obtaining intelligent, com- petent persons. Is it strange that such men are not willing to leave their business to serve on juries for the small sum of #2 per day? I observe that those drawn are gencrally men who are the least able to bear the sacrifice. It is rare, indeed, that men from the class called millionaires are drawn. and when they are they generally manage to get excused. In some cities the pay of jurors is @5 per day. I know of none where it is as low as in Washing- ton, Nine-tenths of those drawn on juries in this District are men of moderate means, en- gaged in some business that reqnires ther constant attention. While on this jury question allow me to call attention to what seems to me a defect in our jury law, requiring the whole tweive to agree before a verdict can be rendered. One obstinate man may keep the other eleven out for days unless they yield to him. It seems to me that where afew dollars are involved nine out of the twelve jurors should be sufficient to make a verdict, but where human life or liberty is at stake 1 would keep the law as at present, J.H.C, eee Howard Medical School Commencement. ‘The commencement exercises of the medical, dental and pharmaceutical departments of Howard university will take place at the Congre- gational church tomorrow evening.

Mr. Mulls of Texas made an appeal for the personal liberty of every citi- zen of this free country to eat what he pleased, to drink what he pleased, to go where he posse and to come back when he pleased, and @ opposed any proposition which would re- strict that liberty, Mr. Stewart's amendment was agreed to—70 to 47.

The Result of the Coroner’s Investiga- tion of the Tragedy: * EX-DOOR KEEPER DONELSON'S STORY OF THE TRAGEDY—THE SCENE ON THE STAIRWAY AT ‘THE CAPITOL WHEN THE SHOT WAS FIRED—AR- RANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL TONIGHT. The testimony in the Taulbee inquest wad all given after Tue Star's report closed yester- day. Acting Coroner Townshend called Samuel Donelson, ex-door keeper of the House of Rep- resentatives, as the first witness. Mr, Donel- son said thaton the last day of February he was at the Capitol and met Taulbee there near the steps that go down to the basement in the vicinity of the east entrance to the House. Witness was standing near the door of the ladies’ reception room when he saw Taulbee coming toward him, from the direction of the tele- graph office, Witness had an engagement to meet Ta there. maid “Taulbte asked me,” said Donelson, “whatT wanted with him, and Lsaid I bad business to talk over. After shaking his hand I took his left arm and we walked down the first flight of steps and then started to continue the descent. Taulbee stopped at the second or third step, turned to me and said: ‘What do you it, Sata?’ “I said, ‘I want to see you.’ Just on the platform, to my right and Taulbee’s left, Kincaid appeared. My attention was immedi- ately called to him. He said, ‘Mr. Taulbee. you can see me now.’ As he said this he fired a pistol and shot Taulbee beneath the left eye. Tanlbee called out ‘Oh!’ and some of the blood from his wound spurted out over my left hand, I turned to Kincaid and said, ‘For God's sake, judge. don’t shoot any more.’ We watked down to the foot of the steps and there I heard Kin- eaid say ‘I am the man that shot him,.’” Tn response to questions by jurors Mr. Donel- son said he saw Kincaid standing near the door of the ladies’ reception room just previous to the meeting of the witness and Taunlbee, Witness said there was nothing said by Kin- caid then as to his wanting to see Taulbee. It did not appear to witness that Taulbee was nervous, OTHER WITNESSES. The testimony of John Daniels, a boy, was practically given in an interview in yesterday's Star, His evidence brovght forth ‘nothing new. Charles Christian said he was waiting at the bottom of the steps for a crowd to come down when the pistol was fired. He saw the flash, Saw a man put his hand up to his face and then witness ran, He returned a minute later and heard some one ask Taulbee who shot him and heard Taulbee reply: ‘I do not know.” 8. P. Mast, the Capitol policeman who ar- rested Kincaid, testifled that at about 1:35 on February 28 he was on duty at the lower door of the House and heard a pistol shot. He ran around to the place from where the sound came and met Taulbee. Taulbee was coming toward him and blood was streaming from a wound in his head. Witness asked who fired the shot and Kincaid (witness did not kuow his name at the time) said: “I did it.” , Wit- ness took the pistol from him, It was full- cocked, B. H. Shivers and John R. Hunt corroborated Mast’s testimony, THE MAN WITH A LIGHT OVERCOAT. J. W. Jones said he was passing up the stair- way from the basement and saw Donelson and Taulbee standing on the stairway talking. | Wit- ness turned to the right and just as he got to the second landing he met » man coming down; the man had ona light overcoat. Just as wit- ness got to the top of the stairway he heard the report of a pistol aud he turned and ran down the steps. He saw blood on the steps and when he got to the foot of the stairway he heard a policeman say, “who fired that shot?” and then he heard a man say, “I did it,” At that the policeman left Taulbee and took the man. Witness seized the man’s left arm while the policeman took the revolver from him. Wit- ness was not sure that the man who met him on the steps—the man with a light overcoat— was the same one who did the shooting. AN OBJECTION BY COUNSEL, Assistant District Attorney Armes insisted on questioning the witness on this latter point, but witness stated very positively that he could not identify the man, So persistent was Mr. Armes that Mr. C. Maurice Smith, representing the defendant, Gbjected. Such examination of witnesses was unusnal and improper, but if tke coroner was going to permit it, why he (Smith) would like to take a hand in it, B. F. Graham, who was with J. W. Jones when the shot was fired, added nothing of im- portance to the material testimony. THE MEDICAL TESTIMONY. Dr. D. 8. Lamb, who made the autopsy on the body of Taulbee, testified as to the tract of the bullet and the injury caused by it sub- stantially as described in Tue Star yesterday, ‘The doctor was the last witness and when he had concluded the jury was ushered into Lieut, Kelly's room to deliberate. THE VERDICT. In a few minutes the verdict was made up as follows: “The said Wm. P. Taulbee came to his death from a pistol shot wound, the pistol being held in the hands of Charles E, Kincaid, in the United States Capitol building on the 28th day of February, A.D. 1890.” There were a number of members of the ‘Taulbee family at the inquest and they listened intently to all the witnesses They were James H, Taulbee,the dead man's son; Dr.J. A. Taulbee and Dr. Breckinridge Tuulbee, broth- ers of the deceased, and Rev. C. F. Qney, a brother-in-law. COMMITTED TO JAIL, As soon as the verdict had been rendered Dr. Townshend issued the customary order for committal, Lieut. Kelly notified Lieut, Amiss by telephone of the acting coroner's action and shortly before 5 o'clock Officer Hollinber- ger took Kincaid down to the jail in a coupe. Kineaid is said to have expressed a desire for a speedy trial. He did not think he could live long in confinement. THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS, The statement that the funeral of ex-Repre- sentative Taulbee would take place from Zurhorst’s undertaking establishment at 10 o'clock this morning drew ‘a number of friends to that point. The announcement, however, was a mistake, as the body will be carried from its present resting place to the Pennsylvania depot 9 o'clock this evening. Rev. C, F, Oney,a brother of Mrs. Taulbee, will conduct the services and members of the Kentucky delegation will act as pall bearers, The body will be escorted to the ka oe by members of B. B. French lodge. It will then be sent over the Chesapeake and Ohio road to | Kentucky.

Each time I stopped the car, but no one got out. Finally I watched the looking glass and when the woman p' the bell again I paid no attention to her. After the car bad gone several squares. further the woman repeated her action and I stopped the car. ‘What do you want?’ T aske: ‘Can you tell me where I want to go?’ was 8 . ‘To the lunatic ” said I, and she got off the car.” Ser * —_—_.—__- Genmay rm Five Werxs—Cor Berorxe.— A course opens at 3 6:45 today and tomor- advances meet 10:30. a.m., on 9th street, eis R.

See advertisement, ee oe An Aged El inte! of the pachy composing the herd, dead on Tuesday morning at the ic age of Cooper was anxious to know ‘wause of the if That Bermuda Hat Story. According to the view of a naval officer the reported escapade of Commander McCalla at Hamilton, Bermuda, on his way from his late unfortunate cruise on the 22d of February, when, it was said, he and several other officers with great indignity. tain cruise some “ on board of y years officers who. ina spirit a got into the abit of ing them the “mutes,” which is the shortening for “mutual admiration society. In view of this atmosphere they adopted the system of speaking of the by fictitious names, so that tulk about them leased while for the young fellows to tdTk in a most disre- yp eon} manner of “Old Jones” with that in“ vidual sitting across the table from them, ‘unconscivus of the roastii i. ‘One of the party had an old hat, a shock Femnant of a former style, and he, in « fit facetiousness, christened it “Jones.” There. after, when there was any extra spleen to work off against the commander some one would bring out the hat and, putting it down on the deck, say: ‘Do you see that hat, well, that’s ‘Jones,’ whereat every man would rush af it in an effort to get the first kick at it Somehow or other this notion spread to other ships, and in time there was a hat on board of nearly every man-of-war named after the captain, who was invariablgcalied Jones.” From this came the iden of sefting up the bit as a symbol of something that was not present, and it was not improbable that it was with an indistinct recol- lection of his younger days in the service that McCalla set up his tile to represent the immor- tal George, if he ever did such « thing. Pan-American Commerce. The Pan-American congress committee on “Communication on the Atlantic” today pre- sented their report to the conference. The committee recommends the establishment of subsidize@ fast bi-monthly passenger, mail and freight steamer service between the United States and Rio Janeiro, Montevideo and Buenos Ayres; also an auxiliary bi-monthly freight line. ‘The contracting governments are to con- tribute to the fast lines in the following pro- portions: The United States, 60 per cent; Ar- gentine Republic, 1744 per cent; Brazil, 1734 per cent; Uruguay, 5 per cent. Contracts for the oe are to be (pores by adverti: ments in papers in each contrac’ country ardin aware due consideration an be given to existing contracts with Brazilian lines. In consideration of the higher aid to be paid by the United States the contracting parties are to accept only vessels constructed in this coun- try. The committee*also recommends to the governments interested the encouragement of ect cable lines to connect the countries in- terested with a good telegraphic -service at equitable rates, She Will Have Them Cut Down. Women observe the smallest trifles, especially if they belong to the dress of their own sex. The other days stylishly-dressed lady sitting opposite a Stan reporter in a street car, hap- peng to look out of the window, nudged her companion and called her attention to the feet of a lady on the sidewalk, which came neatly into view as their owner daintily lifted her drese to step across the gutter. “She belongs in New York,” was the remark of the lady in the car, “and she has not been here long. Look at’ her heels—they are way up in the air? Wait till she has been here any length of time and she will have them cut down!”—and the rest of the dissertation, which probably con- tained some light on the question of why she would cut down her high French heels, was lost in the conductor's cry at the transfer station. A School on a Strike. There is a revolt in the Mississippi industrial institute and female college at Columbus, Miss., against Prof, Cooke, the president.

Maxcu Ava X Are the best months in which to purify your blood, for ‘at no other season does the system so much need the aid of a reliable medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla a8 now. During the long, cold winter the blood becomes thin and impure, the body becomes weak and tired, the ‘appetite may be lost. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted to purify aud enrich the blood, to create a ood appetite and to overcome that tired feeling. It increases in popularity every year, for it is the ideal spring medicine. AY HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA “Every spring for years I have made it a practice to take from three to five bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla, ‘bebause I know it purifies the hjood and thoroughiy cleanses the system of all impurities. That languid feeling sometiMfesalled ‘spring fever will never visit the system that has been properly cared for by this never-failing remedy."—W. H.
