Six Young Ladies Equipped for a Noble Work, GRADUATES OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMAS— ADDRESSES BY PRESIDENT BLOUNT, REPRESENTATIVE HEN- DERSON AND OTHERS, Six young ladies fully equipped with a pro- fessional training for their life-work occupied seats last evening upon the platform in the large lecture room of the Columbian Univer- sity. They received no degree and read no essays, but wearing the simple yet attractive costume of trained nurses théy listened to the addresses that were made upon the nobility and self-sacrifice of the profeasion of a nurse and then they received their diplomas. The occasion was the annual commencement ex- ercises of the Washington Training School for Nurses. Since 1877, when the school was founded, it has been sending out the gentle white-capped nurses to bring comfort and re- lief to the bedside of suffering. Since the school was established the necessity for andthe advantages of trained nurses have passed be- yond the range of argument. The importance of the mission of the school is recognized and the men and women who have given freely of their time and money to establish it here in this city are realizing the reward that comes from a duty well performed. Opposite the group of white-capped graduates ou the stage were the members of faculty, as follows: Dr. G. N. Acker, Dr. H. L. E. Johnson, Dr. G. B. Harrison, Dr. T. E. McArdle, Dr. M. F. Cuth- bert, Dr. S. S. Adams, Dr. G. Wythe Cook. Mr. M. M. Parker, Mr. Thomas Wilson and other members of the board of trustees of the training school also occupied seats on the stage. In the rear an orchestra was stationed, which rendered musical selections during the evening. Tables covered with beautiful flowers were in charge of a committee of ladies, and after the graduates had received vheir diplomas each was presented with a floral tribute. A large and interested audience listened to the addresses and evinced Ly their presence their interest in this institution. ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT BLOUNT. The exercises of the evening were begun with thoughtful address by the president of the school, Mr. Henry F. Blount. He spoke of the advantages which this city offered fora school of this character. The pupils, he said, not only enjoyed the benefits of lectures from experienced physicians but they were enabled to see the practical application of what taughtin the P garb and special hospi which were in this city. He was of the opinion that the capital ought to become the center for a school of this kind from which trained nurses could go out to practice their calling in all parte of the Comis He spoke of what had been accomplished by this school in the thirteen years of its existence, and commented upon the fact that its support was due entirely to the public spirit and benevolence of the citizens. He was of the opinion that the time had come when the usefuiness of the school might be enlarged, and in order to accomplish this it should receive aid from the public funds, An examination of the objects and aims of the school would convince any mind that it was properly the subject for aid on the ground that it was @ public charity. CHEERING WORDS FROM REPRESENTATIVE HEN- DERSON. A bright, interesting address was given by Representative Henderson of Iowa. He thought that the fact that the nursing of the sick had been raised to the dignity of a seience was one of the evidences of the Progress made by the world. He » school as providing another avenue through which women might become He paid utiful tribute to character and influence of women, and said that the world was better as the range of her activitic were extended. ondemned the idea that marriage was the end of every woman's ambition, and said that the opportunities pre- sented to her for the exercise of ber talents ought to be free from restrictions of every charac- ter. The vocation of nurse, in his opinion, called for ability of the highest order, and her minis- trations at the bedside of the sick could only be likened to the love and devotion displayed by amother. The services rendered by the members of the board of trustees and of the faculty, without compensation, was one of the things, the speaker said, which commended the insutation to his favor. It was his appreication of the blessings which a good nurse confers, as he had found by experience in the late war and the noble work which this insti mn was doing, that had induced him to consent to be present on this oecasion. He was glad to be able to show by his presence and words his in- terest in the work, and he hoped that Congre: would gi institution its sanction and sup- port. He then addressed to the members of the graduating class a few words of practical advice. THE GRADUATES RECEIVE THEIR CERTIFICATES. President Blount then conferred certificates upon the following-named graduates: Martha Brooke Bright of Indiana, Altha L. Emmert of Maryland, Corinne Lowe of Maryland, Mary Emma Walmsley of Maryland, Mary A. Carter of the District of Columbia and Sallie C, Turner of Pennsylvania, All the graduates were pres- ent with the exception of Mixs Emmert, who has already entered upon her life-work at the head of au institution. AN ADDRESS TO THE GRADUATING CLASS, After a selection was played by the orchestra Dr. George Byrd Harrison, on behalf of the faculty, made an address to the graduating class which was full of practical suggestions, He emphasized the fact that the nprse should have a high appreciation of hér duties, and in the treatment of those placed in her care she should endeavor to take the place of a faithful, devoted mother. While they vould meet with trials and discouragements they should ever keep before them a high ideal of their duty and faithfully follow it. A good nurse was one of the most valuable aids to the physician and her resence in the sick room ought to be a help to e patient, Upon the conclusion of Dr. Harrison’s ad- dress the exercises of the evening came to a close and the members of the igreduating class received the congratulations of their friends, Breaking Up a Gang of Burglars. Detective McDevitt left Washington to for Charlestown, W. Va., to aid in the convii tion of an organized gang of thieves that have been ravaging that part of the country for some time. The Washington detective has been working on the case for several weeks. The thieves were well organized and bold in the extreme. Their depredations extended over a large extent of country. Some weeks ago Mr. McDevitt arrested William Lawson, alias Hagan, a well-known-and desperate burglar, who has since confessed and implicated five others of the gang, who are also under arrest, ool? Canam Knights Templar at Church. The Knights Templar of this city celebrated Ascension Day by attending services at Epipbany Church last evening. Washington Commandery extended an invitation to Co- lumbia, No. 2, Potomac, Ng. 8, and De Molay, No. 4, to unite with them in attending service. Rev. Dr. McKim preached the sermon to the knights on the topic, “Christian manliness, its steudard and its influences.” At the close of the services Potomac Commandery was es- corted to its asylum and the other command- eries returned to Masonic Temple, where they were dismissed, Sn eee Died on His Way Home.

To the Editor of Tae EvENiNG Stan: The huge volume of properties advertised for sale for delinquent taxes recently pub- lished by the Commissioners is calculated to startle any one coming here with’a view to in- vesting money in real estate, That more than 8,000 separate properties should be so adver- tised In a single year certainly indicates some- thing radically wrong in the legislation govern- ing the matter. Under existing laws, as they have been construed by the courts, a tax title, instead of being, as it ought to be, and gener- ally is in other localities, the very best title that can be made, is the very weakest, if, in- deed, it be not wholly worthless, Instead of the delinquent taxpayer being treated asa quasi offender against the public economy, he seems to be regarded rather an object of public sympathy, and the purchaser at a tax sale as worthy of but small consideration, Un- der the present law no man can safely bid at a tax sale without a previous search for liens and incumbrances that ought not to be required in such a case when he is necessitated to pay the taxes levied during the redemptionary period of two years to prevent the property from being again sold while he holds an inchoate title thereto without any rovision of law for their reimbursement. joreover the right of redemption is given to mortgagees or others having an equitable in- tent apparently without limitation of time. And finally, after having run the gauntlet of these difficulties, the purchaser, who has paid his money in good faith to make good the will- ful default of the owner, is liable to have his title completely swept away by the courts in consequence of some misdescription or blunder or default of some government official over whose acts he has no control. Of course the remedy for this condition of things is apparent and practicable, It only needs an act of Con- gress declaring First, That a sale for delinquent taxes shall, after the period for redemption has expired, vest a valid title in the purchaser in fee simple, free from all liens, incumbrances and charges whatsoever, Second. That any mortgagee, judgment creditor or other person having an equitable interest in the property may redeem, if the owner of the legal title does not, and the re- demption money shall constitute a first lien on the property until paid, Third, That it shall be madea pat of any judgment or decree adverse to the tax title that the Gg shall, within such reasonable time as the court may direct, repay to the pur- chaser at the tax sale the purchase money, and all subsequent taxes paid by him with 10 per cent interest fram date of respective payments, which sums shal, be definitely ascertained by the court at the time of the trial, and when paid to be receipted of record and if not paid within the time fixed the plaintiff to be forever barred from a recovery of the land. Fourth. That, in order toa valid redemption, the redemptioner shall, in addition to paying the purchase money and interest as now re- quired, also pay into the District treasury the taxes paid by the purchaser during the redemp- tionary period with 10 per cent interest thereon for the use of such purchaser and to be paid over to him on his demand therefor. Fifth, That no tax title shall be held invalid unless proceedings to test the same shall be in- stituted before the period for redemption shali expire. It is possible that the object of the second item can be reached by the court in the exercise of its general equity powers, but it will contribute to the security of purchasers to putitin the statute. Let it be plainly mani- fested by the law that the fundamental condi- tion of land tenures is the payment of the pub- lic charges thereon and taxes will be promptly paid, to the great advantage of all good citizens. ATTORNEY. a On Lookout Mountain. The party of eastern capitalists in charge of Mr, Underwood were yesterday on the summit of Lookout mountain, The object of the visitors is to inspect the resources of that part of the country and verify reports.

J. Deily, secretary of the Ameri- can defense association, made an argument in support of the bill reported by the committee torestrict theimmigration. He pointed outthe fact that much of immigration on the Atlantic seaboard is undesirable for the same reason that Chinese immigration on the Pacific slope is offensive to the people there, Hungarians and Poles come to this country in great numbers, who do not assimilate with the people of this country, who do not conform to its customs, who have no interest in its welfare or institu- tions, who come here merely to gain what will be in their native countries a competence and then return to enjoy it. Mr. Deily said the as- sociation which he represented possessed membership of more than 100,000. The com- mittee’s bill, with a few amendments, would have the approval of the association. “One of these amendments, he said, relate to nihilists, ProP>sing to exclude them from this country. SECRETARY WINDOM'S AMENDMENT, Mr. Sherman introduced in the Senate yes- terday proposed amendment to the Jones silver bill sent to him by the Secretary of the Treasury. The amendment isas follows: “That upon the passage of this act the balances standing with the treasurer of the U. States to the respective credits of national banks for deposits made to redeem the circu- luting notes of such banks, and ail deposits thereafter received for like purpose, shall be covered into the Treasury as a miscellaneous receipt, and the treasurer of the United States shall redeem from the general cash in the Treasury the circulating notes of said bank which may come into his possession subject to renemption, and upon the certificate of the coutroiler of the currency that such notes have been received by him and that they have been destroyed and that no notes will be issued in their place reimbursement of their amount shall be made tthe treasurer, under such regulations as the Secretary of ‘the Treasury may prescribe, from an appropriation hereby created, to be known as ‘national bank notes, redemption account,’ but the provisions of this act shall not reply, to the deposits received under section 8 of the act of June 20, 1874, re- quiring every national bank to keep’ in lawful money with the treasurer of the United States a sum equal to 5 per centum of its circulation, to be held and used for the redemption of its circulating notes, and the balance remaining of the deposits so covered shall at the close of D.C, FRIDAY.

A Missing Witness in a Pending Case Discovered Dead. Paul Louk, a young man well known in Ran- dolph county, W.Va., was found Wednesday hanging to a tree ina strip of woods on Files creek, about six miles from Beverly, the county seat, He is supposed to have hung there for fourteen days, and when found the corpse pro- sented a most horrible appearance. The head had been pecked at by birds and eaten by worms until every vestige of the features had disappeared and the whole form was bloated and distorted. Louk was a very important wit- ness for the state in the trial of Jacob Louk, his nephew, soon tocome up in the circuit court of Randolph county. and when he disaj peared about the first of May it was naturally supposed he had been induced to leave the county to avoid being = on the witness stand. The discovery of his remains, by the merest accident, throws no light on the man- ner of histaking off and there are various theories as to whether he committed suicide or was bung by a mob, FATAL RESULT OF A BLOW. William Mullen Dead From a Fist Stroke on His Jugular Vein. From the Philadelphia Press Today, William Mullen, twenty-four years, rear of 1407 Germantown road, died early yesterday morning of injuries alleged to have been in- flicted by John McCarthy, twenty-six years, 1419 Germantown avenue, on Sunday night, at Master street and Germantown road. Both were prominent factors in the late democratic primary election in the ninth division of the seventeenth ward. Mullen was a supporter of Matthew Dittmann and McCarthy was one of the opposing faction. The contest resulted in ® compromise, and McCarthy went to the ward convention. There was feeling between the two men, who met at Master street and Germantown road on Sunday night and quarreled. Mullen attempted to strike McCarthy, it is said, but the latter roved too quick for him and got in a blow on ullen’s jugular vein, which produced instant paralysis of the brain, from which he never re- covered. Patrick Gillespie, who was standing with Mul- len, says McCarthy struck an unprovoked blow. McCarthy was arrested by the tenth district lic held by Magistrate Gillespie without ail to await the result of Mullen’s injury, He will be arraigned today stash sstno>’ EE THE FALL OF AN AUTHORESS, Mrs. Lillie Accused of Swindling and Thought to be Insane, Mrs. Lucy Hart was committed to Bellevue Hospital, New York, Wednesday for the pur- pose of having her sanity passed upon after having been arraigned in Jefferson Market Police Court upon the charge of swindling Father Larkins of the Holy Innocent Church, New York, out of $50, under the name of Mrs, Lucy Lillie, a well-known literary woman. Mrs. Lillie, as she is best known, was the wife of Jobn Lillie. a literary man, but some years ago secured a divorce from him. Within the last few months she has married Frank B.

Many of the quieter citizens left the place and those who remained were terrorized. They did not dare to support each other in the upholding the integrity of the laws. In regard to this late outbreuk, Cottrell was guilty of a similar one during President Cleveland's administra- tion, but the facts were suppressed because it was feared publicity would hurt the party. After Cleveland’s inauguration Mayor Cottreli's father was made receiver of customs and the son was made deputy. The young man’s father died in 1885, and after the father's death he was put in charge. He has served as mayor two or three years; being elected through terrorizing methods, He is a young man not over thirty years old.” ————-ee—_____ WALT WHITMAN’S GRAVE, The Aged Poet Picks Out a Burial Lot on the Outskirts of Camden. ‘Walt Whitman has chosen a spot for the final disposition of his body en bis life is ended.

It is@ natural mound, beneath ma- jestic oaks and chestnut trees, while about 200 feet below a stream of water flows overa preci- pice from an artificial lake. A driveway, which leads through the woods, winds within a few feet of the spot, and the boughs of the gnarled oaks are spread like arms over the hillock, and touch the greensward on the sides, Back of this piece of ground is the woods, where a footpath leads to the entrance gate.
