A Bad Boy Warned by Judge Miller and ‘Then Discharged. ‘This morning in the Police Court a fourteen- year-old boy named Edward Ricketts was charged with throwing mud against the door of the Carberry School. He was also charged with striking one of the school boys with a plece of mud. Judge Miller recognized the boy as having been before the court twice before and wanted to know why it was that he could not keep out of trouble. “But,” remarked the court, “you've got a bad name, and I suppose that it isagainst you.” One of the school boys told the judge of the faud throwing by the Ricketts boy and sald that one piece of mud struck him. The boy’s mother appeared and attributed her boy's trouble to a prejudice that existed against him, but the judge told her that if the boy would keep mud and stones out of his hands he would not get in trouble. sam yousend your boy to school?” asked the ize. “No, sir,” responded the boy's mother. “I baven't sent him to school for some time be- eanse they won't give him a permit. “Isa't that because he is #0 bad?” t altogether.” ‘Let me tell you something, boy.” said the Judge. “Imposing fines does not seem to do Mmueh good. This case does not amount to much, but you will persist in doing such things and the next time you are ht here and there is sufficient proof against you I'll send You to the reform school.

THE VOIGT 2 HAAS ASSIGNMENT. A of Judge Bradley Overrales the Demurrer of Annual Banquet of the Association of Fire ‘ine Underwriters. OVER A HUNDRED sIT DOWN IN WORMLEY's HOTEL—MAXY ELOQUENT AND WITTY SPEECHES _MADE BY LOCAL BEN AXD VISITORS FROM OTHER CITIke Wiiv WERE PRESEXT. , The insurance men made merry last evening at Wormley's. The occasion was the annual banquet of the Association of Fire Under- writers of the District. Never before in the six years that this association has been in existence bas there been such a large and rop- resentative gathering of insurance men. The spacious parlors of Wormley’s hardly furnished sufficient room. A table was laid from one end | to the other of the long room and then it was found necessary to provide a side table. The parlors were adorned with foliage plants and the tables with cut flowers, as well as with the handsome faces of the 120 insurance men who graced the feast with their presence. PRESIDENT TYLER ANP WIS ASSOCTATES. The president of the association, Mr. R. W. Tyler, occupied a seat midway in the length of the long table and Commissioner Douglass and other distinguished men sat near him. The secretary, Mr. Fred W. Pratt, was conveniently near, while across the tablo the smiling faco of the toast master, Dr. \W. P. Young. could be seen. The menu was discussed with that atten- tion to duty which characterizes the fire ineur- ance agent and with a disregard to conse- quences that would have dismayed a life in- surance agent who huppened to have written any risks in that company. The occasion was rendered farther memorable by the presence of anumber of representative insurance men connected with the middle department and the editors of two insurance papers. Shortly after some hundred or more cigars had been lighted and a nebnious cloud bung over the nquet table President Tyler rose to his fect «i rapped for atiention. One rap was not muficient to check the hum of conversation and when he had given a slight imitation of Speaker Reed's gavel as engaged in legislation comparative quiet pervaded the banquet hall. ‘The president announced that he was not going to muke a speech. He wanted, however, to ex- press his gratification at the large attendance and to speak of the flourishing affairs of the association. He did this briefly and then he called upon Dr. W. P. Young, who, as toast master, was given a blank commission to pro- ceed to worry the guests. “A deafening round of applause greeted his appearance and the doctor's eyes gleamed through his gig lamps with a Pickwickian benevolence that is peculi- arly his own. In a felicitous and witty style he prefaced cach toast and placed those who were to reply ona friendly footing with the com- pany. ‘THE TOASTS AND RESTONSES. The first toast “The District of Columbia,” was responded to by Commissioner Donglass, who was extremely happy. He said that he had narrowly escaped being an insurance agent ‘ashe was once offered an agency for a com- pany. The man who did take the agency sub- sequently became a millionaire. It could there- fore be readily understood how a man who had made a narrow escape of this character be- ‘came gray early in life. He e of the ad- vantages which property had in this city from ‘an insurance standpoint, and said that these advantages were due to the wide streets and the efficiency of the fire department and of police. He hesitated to speak of the latter when the head of that department was present who was perfectly competent to speak for him- self. A topical song full of good insurance points BE a mrsiey biedf ft borane sung by Mr. C. C. Hine, the editor of the Insurance ‘The refrain, “They all Monitor of New York. do it,” was rendered by the entire company with ‘some danger to the chandeliers. ‘THE LOCAL COMPANIES. “The local companies” was a subject that elicited from Mr. Noble D. Larner, the ex- president of the association, one of those clean- cut, practical talks which his associates always like to hear. He spoke of the harmony which existed among insurance men in this city and the goneral disposition to do what is right and fapd own the decisions of the board. He said that fire insurance was not a science, but a welgpalienand teen cabes erik aoe writi ‘ies and then adhere ie peor ‘the idea that outsiders knew more about the insurance business than com) and said that it was a mistake to assert that the present rates were higher than a reasonable profit demanded. People who made such state- ments knew nothing about the risks of the busi- ness. He said that thousands of people would be without a shelter of their own if it were not for the insurance companies. Ho advocated the cultivation of a better understandin, between the companies and the customers an if this was done he thought that the insurance business wot more thoroughly ap- preciated. ‘MR. SIMON WOLP'S REMARKS. Mr. Simon Wolf responded to the toast of the agency companies in a speech that was elo- quent and humorous. He claimed for the agency companies that they had done their part in maintaining the harmony which now ex- isted in the ranks of the insurance men, and that they would continue to lend their aid in making underwriting honorable and distin- guished. He urged that if only honest men were insured and men known to be scoundrels were refused insurance that there would be no difficulty in maintaining contracts. “If a man comes to me,” said the speaker with frank humor, “and I don’t consider him a desirable man to insure then I send hum to another office. If the other agent is fool enough to give him insurance it is none of my business.” ‘The speaker eulogized the efficiency of the fire and police departments. The profession of under- writing, he said, was one of the noblest. It was the cup that cheered but did not inebri- ate, as water was its hand maid. COL. MOORE ON POLICY WRITING. When the toastmaster introduced Col. Wm. G. Moore, the major of the police force, as his venerable friend, the company laughed and then laughed again when Col. Moore attempted @ pun on the toastmaster’s name. As usual, Col..Moore made a grand speech. He said that itwas known that the laws of the District were very severe against the system of polic writing, and yet he had heard ‘this system ad yoeated here and words of encouragement for ite tion. The three District Commis- vioners were present, and if they would com- mand the exit from the roum, he believed that it was his duty to scoop in the entire crew. As Mr. Parris. the chief of the fire department, ‘was not present to respond to the toast to him that duty was imposed by the toast- master on Col. Moore. The latter said that he found he had twins on his hands, but he man- his cl with a great deal of skill. EDITORS GIVEN A CHANCE. The editors were given an opportunity to speak. Mr. C. C. Hine, the editor of the Insur- ance Monitor of New York city, and Dr. C. C. Bombaugh, the editor of the Baltimore Under- writer, contributed ably to the intellectual feast. ‘The guests of the evening rendered their quota and discussed various subjects of interest in the business. Col. E. 0. Weeks, Thos. H. Mont- gomery, Rowell and Wm. H. Kremer of Philadelphia, J. B. Kremer of Carlisle, Pa., H. C. Kline and’ L. B. Par were among the speakers. The festivities of the evening termi- nated at a late hour. ‘THOSE PRESEXT. ‘Those who were present were District Com- missioners Wm. G. Merritt, G. M. Fague, John E. McLeran, Dr. Richard 8. Hill, J.

In the case of Henry Ferra against Voigt & Haas, bill to set aside assignment, &c., the Equity Court, Judge Bradley, today heard the closing arguments, Mr. Leon Tobriner for com- plainant and Mr. F. T. Browning for the re- spondents, Briefly stated the firm of jewelers made ar assignment dated January 3 or 5 and recorded some days after to 0. E. Duffy, and there were certain preferences. The respond- ent claimed that the assignment was made in good faith for the benefit of their creditors, and that the preferences were for bona fide debts. . The court said that he would overrule the de- murrer of the assignee, Mr. Duffy, and signa decree requiring him to give a bond for $20,- 000, enjoin him from peying out any funds and refer the cause to the aiditor to report on the lidity of the preferences named in the as- mment. Judge Bradley remarked that = simple contract creditor had the right to in- stitute proceedings. There was enough rhown to indicate that some property had been re- tained by the assignors, Tt was the duty of the assignee te demand possession of a! erty to make distribution among the creditors. While the aarignors could be cimployed in the store such course might reflect on the honesty of the assignment. eee Salis So LUCY CLARK BETTER.

It wasin no sense a political gathering, but just a jolly col- lection of Buckeyes, who were out for a good time and who showed before the evening was over that they knew how to have it. Soon after 8 o'clock the crowd began to gather and SOME GYOD SPEAKING. Col. Dan. A. Grosvenor, vice president of the ‘association, was the presiding genius at the re- ception last night and he made an opening ad- rem, in which he said that the reception was tendered by Ohio people to Ohio people, democrats or republicans, and that while the name of the association was a little suggestive of partisanship, the present occasion was in- tended to be social and not political. Headded that while it was an Ohio reception, he could see no objection to embracing men from states, or girls, or mothers-in-law, either. ‘The platform was filled with well-known re- Rublicens, though republicans from Ohio pre- lominated, and’ when Mr. McKinley was es- corted toa prominent position the applause was both Toad and long. After his opening address Col. Grosvenor in- troduced ex-Lient. Gov. Hart, who made just the sort of an address the audience wanted to ear—culogistic of Ohio and Ohio people. He lowed by Mfr. McKinley, who delved into far enough to assure his hearers that Protection was the proper caper and would come out ahead in the long ran. ‘Lhe other speakers were Congressman Booth- man of Ohio. Gen.

A Colored Boptist Congregation to Have a Commodious Piace of Worship. The Nineteenth Street Colored Baptist Church will be dedicated with imposing ceremonies on Sunday, the exercises continuing throughout the week. The President, District dignitaries and a host of high-caste government officials have been invited to attend. Rev. Dra. Stately, Muir and Green will assist in the services. Many distinguished colored preachers from the District and neighboring cities will figure con- spicuously in the week's devotions. On Mon- day night the church will be illuminated and thrown open for the inspection of the public, and at the same time a musical and literary en- tertainment will be given under the auspices of the Social Club. The present church was organ- ized in 1839. 1t purchased the lot on the south- east corner of 19th and I streets, the ground being then occupied by what is now the First Baptist Church, that having been built there in 1802. Later two other lots were bought, and in 1855 the structure was remodeled at’a cost of $6,000. During the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Binga the church was destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt in 1871. Various improvements were wrought, but the building being deficient in capacity and not in keeping with the affluence of its present aristocratic congregation it was decided in 1890 to enlarge and modernize it. Virtually it is a new church, considerably more than $25,000 having been expended upon it, exclusive of the cost of the ground upon which the new part of the edifice stands. ‘The building is of brick, finished throughout in Polishe Lash. ‘The first itor is fitted up as a lecture room capable of seating 800 persons. On this hall the Sunday school, consisting of 500 pupils and 45 teachers, superintended by David Clark, will mect.

In somne cases the approach of deafness is so insidious that it is almost impossible to fix the tine when the difll- culty first commenced. In others the deafness at first comes only by spells, more expecially during an attack Of afresh cold or after sneezing or blowing the now», Such times the hearing will be found suddenly ob structed and will as suddenly return, with something of a snapping sound and someties witha loud, start- Ing report, the whole process yiving an idea of a valvo inthe head whicl closed and opened the avenue to hearing. By degrees, however, these spells occur oftener and last longer until permanent deafness is the result. Inall cases of catarrhal deafness it is an un- fortunate feature that the difticulty grows slowly but steadily worse until the hearing is seriously impaired or entirely lost. Noises in the head of every conceiva- ble description are also apt to make their appearance during the progress of the disease, adding materially to the existing distress. A. P.
