The first man a Stam reporter saw at Mr. Hogan's place of business was Mr. dogan himself. When told of the report Mr. Hogan smiled and said: “No. I hope I have too much sense for anything of that kind. Youare the second party that has told me that I had committed suicide, but the | other was an old colored woman who said she had dreamed it.

Hanibal Hamlin Steele, a well-known book canvasser here for some years past, was re- moved to Providence Hospital last night, suf- fering from an overdose of chloral,but whether taken with suicidal intent is not known. He had been drinking heavily of late and on Tues- day night was at the third precinct station, from which he was released yesterday morn- ing. About 9 o'clock yésterday he obtained a room at the Ashton House, No. 313 Pennsyl- vania avenue, saying he desired to lie down. Later he went to the drug store 319 Pennsyl: | vania avenue and asked Dr. Cobb for cyanide of potash. He then appeared nervous and the doctor suspecting that something was wrong with him refused him, although he stated that he desired it for an experiment on adog. He then left and was seen some time afterward about other drug stores and in the afternoon was at the Ashton House. About 9 clock last night Officer Mansfield was asked by Mr. Moore of the Ashton House to have Steele removed, but finding that he was sleep- ing declined and suggested that a physician be sent for. Dr. Cobb was called an the sleeper as the party who had visited him in the morning and finding him in a comatose | state suspected suicide and suggested his re- moval to the hospital. He was at once sent in the sixth precinct wagon to Providence Hos- pital. A four-ounce phial of chloral hydrate and morphine, with about an ounce and a half of gin, was found in the room. (eee OFFICERS ECTED. Ex-Confederate Soldiers and Sailors in Washington Formally Organize. Shea’s Hall on Pennsylvania avenue was well filled last night with members of the Washing- ton Association of ex-Confederate Soldiers and Sailors, the oecasion being the first election of officers of the association. Mr. Leigh Robin- son called the meeting to order and when the time for the election came he was nominated | for the presidency of the association. Mr. Robinson at first declined the nomination, but the opposition to such a course was so manifest that he withdrew his declination and accepted and was unanimously elected. The other officers elected were: Maj. E. W. Anderson, first vice president; William Harmon, second vice president; Col. E. L. Costin, secretary: Dr. W. P. Young, treasurer. Those elected _mem- bers of the executive committee were Messrs. Gabriel Edmonston, Mills Dean, Dr. W. Byrd Harrison, A. G. Holland and A. N. Tubman. The relief committee consists of Messrs. Charles Dunnington, Thos. Howard, J. H. Walsh, F. W. Callahan and O. F. Smith. President Robinson in a short speech thanked the members of the association for the honor conferred upon him, as he thought there could be no greater honor paid a person than an election to the office of president of an associa- tion of army comrades. He pledged his earnest efforts in behalf of the association and pre- dicted a bright future for it. Before the meeting adjourned Mr. E. B. called attention to the death of the late . Johnston, and upon his moti that the executive commitiee should consider the question of holding s meet- ing in honor of the deceased gencral. The association adjourned to meet April 3. eosin temas THE COURTS. Covar 1x Gexenat Tenu—Chief Justice Bing- ham and Judge Montgomery. Yesterday—Walker agt. Roney; rearguedand submitted.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: A great deal has been said about the young gentlemen of Washington being dissipated and unreliable, and the recent sad occurrence that brought heavy sorrow into one of the loveliest homes in our city and to the heart of one of the rarest of women and best of mothers has ed the deepest sympathy and caused the peated inquiry, “Why wil’ young men Shall I tell you reason why? because they ‘are tempted to their ruin by the very people who should save them. I have heard mothers coun- sel their daughters not to encourage the atten- tions of certain gentlemen ‘because they were too fond of their cups,” yet these very mothers at their afternoon receptions, teas and evening entertainments will have the punck bowl, sur- rounded by the most attractive young ladies, placed in the most inviting place and every possible temptation thrown in the way of these very men. They do it unthinkingly. But have wea right to do anything unthinkingly that oft-re; throw themselves thi may bring desolation into happy homes and | intense sorrow to loving hearts’ The plea has been urged: “But this punch istooreak to hurt any one.” But they forget that by the time a young man has made a dozen or twenty calls every place he 1s in no condition to enter the society of ladies upon whom he would like to call in the closing hours of the day. Besides all this, if the women he is taught to respect and honor tell him this is right why is it not | also right to drink a little more heavily with his male companions when the pleasures of the ¥ are over? Dear women of Washington so- ciety, help us to save our sons! Teach your Liters to upiiyt their gentlemen friends—not tempt them to their ruin. Look the facts squarely in the face and see if you are reall willing to incur this fearful responsibility. have never in my life belonged to « temper- | ance organization nor even affixed my name to | «pledge, but L have never offered a glass of punch or wine to # young man nor permitted ittobe done in my house. Who will stand with me iu the future in this resolve? A Moruza. —— Maryland Agricultural College Trustees. The adjourned quarterly meeting of the board of trustees of the Maryland Agricultural College was held at the Hotel Rennert in Balti- more yesterday at noon.
