The will of Jasper M. Jackson. formerly of Burnt Mills, Montgomery county, Md., was filed Yesterday. He leaves his estate to his wife and children and appoints his son, J. M. Jackson, executor. A deed was placed on record yesterday by Which Mr. B. F. Leighton conveys the fee sim- ple of the land laid off for the streets in the subdivision of Brookland to the District of Co- lumbia, thus dedicating them for the public Use. ‘The cable on the 7th street line was tempo- rarily stopped yesterday to allow the putting in of the “clutch.” The ip! ape who had charge f the work did not reach the city until yester- day, so it could not be done before. The S. Treasurer has received a con- science contribution of $100 from an unknown resident of this city. It will be seen by the advertisement else- where that the Corcoran Gallery will be open to the public tomorrow evening from 8 to 10 o'clock. The divorce case filed by Harriett Dowell, through J. W. Walker and John Cruikshank, February 6, 1889, aguinst Wm. Dowell has been dismissed by compiainant. Jem Smith of England and Jimmy Carroll of Brooklyn, the pugilists who arrived in the city yesterday, left today for Philadelphia, Suit for Injunction to Stop Payment. In the Equity Court Judge Cox this morning ‘heard the case of Hannah Henderson against the District of Columbia, A. P. Fardon, D. W. Glassie and E. M. Hewlett for an injunction to Prevent the payment of amount of judgment to A. P. Fardon as assignee on the ground that ‘the assignment was obtained by fraud and mis- Tepresentation. Messra. {. B. Linton and H.C. Sholes appeared for the petitioner and Mr. F. W. Jones for Dr. Fardon. The answer of the latter was filed, in which he sets forth that the plaintiff sought to sell the judgment and after due examination he purchased it, He avers oa information and belief that the complainant was fully advised of and about every paper in the case; that he employed an attorney, and after he had reported he gave two checks, aggregating $1,025. with instructions to pay the costs, &c., and that his (respondent's) action in the matter was proper and without any fraud and misrepresentation. Appended to the susWer is an assignment to D. W. Glassie and PRECEPTORS AND PUPILS. A Reception to Law Students at Colum- biap University, The faculty of the Columbian University held a reception last evening in the parlors of the university. the object being to draw the students of the law school into acquaintance with their preceptors. The invitations that were sent out were limited to the law classes, and the receiving party consisted of the lec- turers and instructors of that branch of the university work. They were President Welling, Justice Cox of the District Supreme Court, As- sistant Attorney General Maury, Mr. A. 8. Worthington and Mr. Harry Davis. Justice Harlan and several other members of the Su- preme Court of the United States came in during the evening and lent to the strong legal atmosphere that - the university building. The students vegan coming at 8 o'clock, and for an hour and a half thereafter there was a constant stream of young aspirants for court-room honors filing into the reception rooms, shaking hands with the gentlemen whom they ordinarily knew only asspectacled quizzers and talking uwbout all sorts of things, including a little Jaw. The in- troductions were gracefully done by the follow- ing committee of students: Mr. A. H. Stewart, chairman; . F. E. Carstarphen, Percy Hughes,George Fleming, George Wilkinson and &. M.

Opposed to “Clipping” and “Docking.” “It's about time that the practice of docking horses’ tails and clipping their manes was stopped,” said Agent Key of the Humane Society to a Stax reporter this morning. “Both the clipping and docking are cruel. Why are those means used? For no other reason than to make the animals look their best according to the owners’ fancy. Clipping is often re- sorted to to give the covering of the animal a uniform color. But to do that it is not neces- sary to inflict unnecessary cruelty upon the agzimals. If » woman's hair is not the color to suit her she dows not always cut it, but she Dieaches it, aud why not use the same process It a woman's hair can be bleached uson why horses’ hair cannot be bleached. The cruel way is always the most expensive and therefore the horses of a poor man can be made prettier by bleaching and at * much lower cost than the rich man's horse that is docked and clipped.” es The C. and O. Canal Cases. Ata meeting in Baltimore yesterday of the Maryland board of public works an order was Pessed “that instructions be given to the at- torney general to pray an appeal in behalf of the state from the order passed by the circuit court for Washington county in each of the two cases therein pending of Brown and others, Wustees, against the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and others, appointing receivers and prescribing their duties.” The object of the order, it is stated, is to have the action of Chief Justice Alvey appointing the Yeceivers reviewed by the court of appeals and to have the order reversed, whereby the canal may be either sold at public auction or leased to the Cumberland and Washi mo Railroad Com- pany ander the laws passed at the last session f the legislature. — Charged With Two Violations of Law. ‘The city of Washington and county are gov- erned by different laws, so that adisorderly act committed on one mde of Boundary street and continued to the other side affords ample op- portunity for an enterprising policeman to add sn additional arrest to his record. Such was the case yesterday when Policeman MeCort arrested an intoxicated man named Jos. Guen- ther om sth street extended for being drunk and disorderly.

A number of the trustees of the uni- versity dropped in during the evening and helped at the handshaking. After this process jee ape continued for some time light re- freshments were served. —— A Baptist Minister Ordained. The services in connection with the ordina- tion to the ministry of the Baptist Church of Rey. R. R. West were held last evening at the E Street Baptist Church. There was a large attendance, After the opening prayer, by the Rey. Frank Gardiner, the ordination sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Faunce, who was formerly pastor of the E Street Church. Rev. George Bowman then extended to the candi- date the good fellowship of the clergy, and the Rey. W. H. Young made the charge to the can- didate and the Rey. 8. H. Green charged the church as to its duties. The ordination prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Muir d the closing prayer was made by the Rev. G. A. McCollough. ——— Discussing the Servant Girl Question. The “Pro Re Nata” held a meeting at the residence of Mrs. Dr, Fisher, 1628 K street, yes- terday and discussed the servant girl question. This was treated from various standpoints by Mrs. Coues, Mrs. Spofford, Mrs. Blount, Mrs. Thomas and others, A committee was ap- pointed to find out what facilities there are in this city for training and educating servants. The meeting adjourned to meet in two weeks with Mrs. Spofford at the Riggs House. Among those who were present yesterday were Mrs. Upton, Mrs, Blount, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs, Moses, Mrs. Coues, Mrs, Fisher, Mrs. Spoiford, Mrs, Marble and the Misses De Puy, Mary Blount and Josephine Smith. ae Electric Music, Typewriting machines that will write and print have been common for some time, but the first typewriter that can be so operated as to produce musical sounds made its first ap- pearance in public at the stage mechanics’ ben- efit, The inventor is Mr. William Edward Wood, who is employed in the office of the architect of the Capitol. The mstrument is an ordinary one, but some of its keys are elec: trically connected with a large and melodious assortment of bells arranged beneath the table. Pressure upon the keys operates @ resistance coil and the result is a succession of remarka- bly sweet sounds. ‘The beauty of the music is not s0 apparent unless the listener is some dis- tance from the instrument. ——___ Agent Key’s Plan to Catch Rats, Agent Key of the Humane Society tells how to rid houses of rats. His plan isto construct a large wire trap or rat house and put in food and bedding. The trap should be so con- structed, he says, as toadmit the animals and prevent their egress by some such simple de- sign as is now used in many smaller traps. The trap should not be removed, he says, until all the rats about the premises have entered it and then they can be slaughtered, pecan mas Dusty and Dirty Streets. To the Editor of Tur EVENING STAR: Is there any sufficient reason why the most frequented, as well as the residential, thor- oughfares of this beautiful city should be in such « dusty and dirty condition as they are at present? Nearly the entire city is now well paved, and it is not easy to understand why the capital cannot be kept in as cleanly a state as it was some years since. Yesterday I strolled through some of the finest avenues and. strects of the city and I was surprised to see the filth which abounded m many places, I know from personal observation that the thoroughfares of that wonderful city London are kept much cleaner. Taxpayer. —_-__ A Small Boy in the Police Court. Robert Wilson, a nine-year-old colored boy, who is small for his age, was arraigned before the Police Court this morning charged by Po- liceman Lynch with destroying private prop- erty. The prisoner answered not guilty. The | engeorers told Judge Miller that he found the oy cutting a “peep-hole” in the fence at the base ball grounds yesterday. The boy ad- mitted his guilt and explained that another boy threatened to beat him if he did not cut the hole. On account of his youth the judge dismissed the case, ee Laeener Real Estate Matters. J.

An smusing incident occurred the other day in District Commissioner Robert's room. An applicant for a liquor license whose appli- cation had been rejected on the grounds that his place bore a bad name appeared in his own behalf. In reply to the question, “Do you shut Up promptly at midnight?” answered: THE SHANTY WOULD NOT BURN. An Interesting Experiment at Ecking- ton With Fire-Proof Paint. Apparently the time is at hand when frame houses will be regarded as nearly fire-proof as brick and when wood will cease to burn, Yes- terday afternoon Mr. C. Fen. Keys gave an in- teresting practical test of Vulcan fire-proof paint and soteria. The test took place at Eckington, near the power house of the elec- tric road yesterday, and was witnessed by a number of gentlemen, who were much pleased with the success of the exhibition. A small board shanty had been erected, and this was painted on the outside with the paint and on the inside with soteria, which is somewhat cheaper and designed for rough use, as on Joists, beams, &c. A barrel of sawdust, sat- urated with kerosene, was set on fire inside the structure and another one against the rear wall on the outside. Kerosene was dashed ail over the building until it was a mass of flame, but the wood, instead of disappearing instantly, as one would ordinarily expect, seemed to be quite unhurt. As the fire burned low moro Kerosene was poured upon it, but when the flames had all died down it was found that the paint was only charred in places while the wood itself was quite uuburt, although it had been subjected to tremendously hot flame for fully ten minutes. Se Slight Fires. Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock fire was discovered in the Grant school building, corner of G and 22d streets northwest, and damage to the extent of $25 wasdone. It originated in the boiler room, it is supposed, from spontane- ous combustion. About 11 o'clock last night a coal oil lamp in the basement of house 1815 8 street northwest, occupied by James Rollins, exploded, setting the place on fire. James Scott, colored, broke into the house (no one being at home) and ex- tinguished the flames, but’ was slightly cut about the hands by the glass of the window. pass sis ramets Driving Accidents.

D. Easterday with his son collided with a buggy on North Capitol street and both of them were thrown out and slightly injured, Past evening a pair of mules attached to one of Beckwith & Quackenbnsh’s wagons, at M and 31st streets northwest, ran into Ray & Craig's wagon, throwing out the driver, who had his arm slightiy injured, Strawberries from Norfolk. The first Norfolk strawberries of the season arrived here this morning. There were only four crates of them. The berries, although not extra large, are said to be the finest that have arrived here the first of the season for several years. The present condition of the strawberry crop about Norfolk promises a big yield and the berries promise to be of good quality, ———— The Alleged Pollution of the Potomac at Cumberland. To the Editor of the Evenine Star: While in this*city 1 have met your article of the 16th April, based upon the statements of the Medical News, in regard to Cumberland, Md. Iregret to say there is reason for much in that article, but in justice there should be some modification. In the outset I would say I am far from believing that typhoid has re- sulted at least entirely from the alleged causes. ‘The season during which it was developed was marked by heavy and almost continuous rains, which with the consequent absence of sunlight and heat are active sanitary constituents. By reason of these heavy rains Will's creek and the Potomac river have been constantly flush, which of itself would reduce the danger from typhoid pollution toaminimum. But more, the dejecta were not thrown into the sewers com- municating directly with the river, but obliged to reach it by percolating through the ground, nor, and as the writer intimates, by wash from the “excessive rains.” In the Plymouth case entered directly in the reservoir. As to the percentage of typhoid, regard should be had to the prevalence of “grip,” which was the channel of aggravation tor various diseases which, under other circumstances, would have eventuated far differently. While I am an ad- vocate to the fullest extent of a system of drainage, and have done all in my power to bring about the recent phange in the source of the water supply, I am far from decided that the late ill health of Cumberland is attributable to the above causes alone. As I am only one of many who entertain this opinion, I think it due to my town that the disclaimer should havo an equal publicity with the article in your paper ofthe 16th instant, which, while it contained much truth, was also marked with much exag- geration. Itis but just to add that the town is now ng a iarge main up the shore of the Potomac river to a point beyond the city limits aud above all the objectionable features alluded to in your article, Through this main the water will flow by gravity into a cistern at the city water works, from which it will be distributed by the Holly pumps. B.S. pa aod Carbolic Acid; ‘Then Whisky. Grace Gladmon is the name assuined by a young woman who has been living ina disrepu- table house in the “Division,” who last night attempted suicide by drinking carbolic acid. Policemen Ellis and Frazier took her to the police station, where Dr. Middleton of the Emergency Hospital relieved her of the poison. Later in the night she was arrested by the officers for disorderly conduct and this morn- ing she forfeited $5 collateral in the Police Court. a Nor the International Copyright Bill. A largely attended meeting was held yester- day afternoon at the Columbian University in the interests of the international copyright bill, President Welling of Columbian Univer- sity presided. Edward Eggleston, the well- known author, made an address explaining the provisions of the bill now pending before Con- gress, atthe conclusion of which a resolution was adopted in favor of presenting to Congress acircular letter signed by prominent Wa ingtonians urging the passage of the bill. The resolution hus the approval of Admiral Porter, Gen. Greely, eee Keane of the Catholic University, Father Richards of Georgetown College, Rev. Dr. McKim, Rev, Dr. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the House of RKepresenta- tives, and many others. A Boy With a Bean Shooter. A ten-year-old colored boy named Franklin Myers was in the Police Court this morning charged with using a bean shooter on A street northeast. He was with several other boys and they were all shooting at sparrows. Judge Miller asked Officer Dunningtou what he knew of the boy, and he said that he sent word to the lad’s father and the latter sent him word that he could not do anything with the boy and wanted the court to do something with him, ‘He will have to dosomething with the boy,” said Judge Miller. “There ought to be alaw tocompel him to look after the boy or.go to rison himself. I am not going to send this oy to the work house.” “Where did you get the bean shooter?” asked the officer. “Another boy loaned it to me,” the boy re- lied. is “Oh, no,” said the judge, “you would cut your hat up to make a bean shooter.” The boy was warned not to repeat the offense and was discharged. a .

THE OKLAHOMA BILL. Its Provisions as it Finally Passed Both Houses of Congress. The report of the conference committee on the bill to make Oklahoma a territory was yesterday adopted by the Senate, the yeas be- ing 50, the Rays 5, Senators Butler, Cockrell, Pagh, Quay and Vest being the negatives. The bill contains the following provisions: That all of the Indian territory, excepting that part occupied by the five civilized tribes and the Indian tribes within the Quapaw agency, and excepting the unoccupied part of the Cherokee outlet, together with the public land strip, is erected into a temporary government by the name of Territory of Oklahoma. When- ever the Cherokee interest in the Cherokee outlet has been extinguished and the Prgsident hus so proclaimed, the outlet shall without fur- ther legislation become a part of the Territory of Okjahoma, and any other lands in the Indian territory may be annexed whenever the in- dian owners assent. That the usual territorial officers shail be appointed by the President, and-thut a legislative assembly shall be elected, Six counties are established, with county sents at Gnthrie, Oklaboma City. Nor- man, El Reno, King Fisher City and Beaver; but the location of these county seats may be changed by the legislative assembly. ‘The judicial power is to be vested in a supreme court. district courts. probate courts and jus- tices of the peace.

Se English Managers and Players. Eukene Field in the Chicago News, The Pall Mal Gazette has beech interviewing Mr. D'Oyley Carte and that vulgar person has sought to explain why the opera of “The Gon- doliers” failed in America, Near the end of the interview Carte expresses hunself as being pleased to hear that George Grossmith is go- ing to visit America with his monologue enter- tainment. He says that Grossmith will meet witha hearty reception in the east, but he “doesn’t fancy that the white necktie will be appreciated in the wild west.” r. D’Oyley Carte knows little of America; of the west he knows absolutely nothing, and thissneer is wholly uncalled for. Carte him- self is a child of the slttm; he originated in the three-ball quarter of Whitechapel, and his career from the start has been a singular com- pound of arrogance, presumption, effrontery and cheap mendacity. The better part of him was thrown away many years ago. What does he know of the “wild west?” Or what does he know of those gentle and manly qualities which the white necktie is supposed to repre- sent? Mr. D’Oyley Carte is a Aes humbug— vulgar, vain and unscrupulous. He has lied about the company which he palmed off upon A. M. Palmer as a representa- tive English opera company. No member of that company had any reputa- tion in London; no member thereof has ever sung in London. Carte had played a confidence game upon Palmer; he had exported a lot of cheap rffraff, with the assurance that “anything will go in the states.” Instead of resenting this insult Palmer has ondured it and lost money by it— good enough for him! Palmer seems to be ambitious to follow in the footsteps of the late Lester Wallack. As for D'Oyley Carte, his gratuitous fling at the “wild west’ will be remembered, and it will be paid back with compound interest. The Wynditam company has returned from America, Geo, Giddens was asked how busi- ness.averaged on the other side, and his an- swer was: “Fairly well.” ‘This means that an- ticipations were not realized. Wyndham him- self talks cheerfully, and he intimates that he will hereafter return to the states every winter. He has passed some good-natured criticisms on American theaters, but nobody need mind what Wyndham says, because his own Criterion Theater here in London isu’t much to brag of. It is Jocate® underground—-50 feet under- ground—is cold and damp, and in case of a fire there could be no escape. The London papers have been jeering at Wyndham for a long time because he seems bent upon serving up “old chestnuts” to his patrons. ‘The story that the Kendals are going to build and conduct a theater in New York is laughed athere. “At any rate,” people say, “they are too shrewd to build a theater in London, for nobody cares for them.” Mrs, Kendal seems to be particularly unpopular. The profession- als detest her, because, as they say, she pre- tends a goodness which she never had. She has been shrewd enough to make a parade of her alleged maternal affection in the states and that sort of thing has done her a heap of good there; but here in Loudon, where Madge Ken- dal is known, that sort ‘of thing is simply laughed at. ~~ eee The business portion of Greenwood, Miss., was destroyed by fire Tuesday night.

OPPOSING THE IDAHO TESY OATH IN UTAH. Delegate Caine of Utah y esterda: the House committee on territories in opposi- tion to the bill introduced in the House by Mr. Struble amending the act of Congress of March. 1882, in reference to bigamy. The bill extends the Idaho test oath to Utah. This Mr. Caine claims is unjust, and further claims th: Congress has not the right to such a measure, as it will distranchise all persons who adhere to the Mormon church. ~ How Cromwell Prorogued Parliament The speech with which Oliver Cromwell turned parliament out of doors in 1653 hrs come to light through the researches of Dr. Wolfgang Michael. and there is strong evidence that it is authentic. It was this: “It is high time for me to putan end to your sitting in this place, which ye have dishonored by your con- tempt of all virtue. and defiled by your prac- tice of every vice. Ye are a factions crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would—like —sell your country for a mess of pottage. and —like Judas—betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remain- ing among you? Is there one of vice ye do not ossess? Ye have no more religion than my ‘orse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered away your consciences for bribes? Is there aman among you that hath the least care for the good of the commonwealth. Ye sordid prostitutes! have ye not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves? By your immoral prin- ciples and wicked practices yo are grown in- tolerably odious to the whole nation, You, who were deputed here by the people to get their grievances redressed, are yourselves become their greatest grievance. Your country, there- fore, calis upon me to cleanse this Augean sta- ble by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this house, and which. by God's elp, and the strength He hath given me, fam new come to do. I cofmmand yon, therefore, upon peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place. Go! Get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves, begone! Soh! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the door,” CITY ITEMS.

The United States Government Official Report, Aug. 17, 1889, and the New Jersey Dairy Commissioner's Report, 1889, recommend that, for the protection of housewives, manufacturers be required by law to use a label giving the composition of the Baking Powder sold. It is a startling fact that 75 per cent. of the baking powders examined by the Government Chemist contained ammonia* or alum* or both. (See Official Report U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bulletin No. Until such a law as the 13.) Government Chemist recom- mends is enacted, housekeepers should use Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder. All the ingredients of this powder are published on the label, and the accuracy of the analysis is verified by Government and State Chemists and Food Commissions. Housekeepers using Cleveland's Superior Baking Pow. der recognize the ingredients stated on the label as the standard for a pure baking powder, and know from the purity of the ingredients, the strength of the powder, and the perfection in results, that Cleveland's is absolutely the best and most desirable baking powder manufactured. * Ammonia or alam powders are dangerous to bealth, and, whatever their strength should be avoided AMUSEMENTS.
