A well-attended meeting of Minnehaha Lodge, 1 0. G. T., was held at the lodge room, Golden ALMOST A VICTORY. How the Nationals Lost in St. Louis Yester- day—Other Games. Carsey gave “Shorty” Fuller » base on balls in the tenth inning in St. Louis and the ran was scored, winning the game for “de boss team” by the score of $ to2. Itwas a good geme, sharply played and with few errors, and the score was even from the start—thatis, even enongh to keep up the interest until the last man was put out, The batteries were Carsey and Lohman and McGill, Stivetts and Boyle. ‘The Nationals were powerless before the wizard work of McGill for six innings and Dowd was the only man who made » safe hit’ In the seventh Lohman was given his base on balls and Carsey hit for & base after Smith had struck out. Hines, who led the list, went to first on balls, and then Dowd and Beecher hit safely for a base apiece, scoring both Lohman and Carsey. The bases were full and but one man was out when McQuery, after two terrific attempts to drive the ball out of the lot, gave Fuller a hot one,on which he made a double play with Boyle, sbut- ting off Hines at the plate and catching Me- Query at first. The other side had scored two in the early of the game, — one in the first on singles by McCarthy and O'Neill, anda double by Lyons, and another in the third on a hit by Fuller, a base on balls and a single by Lyons. Stivetta took McGill's place im the box after the visitors had scored their two runs and tied the game in the seventh, and after that no more batting was done. In the tenth St. Louis made one on Fuller's base on balls, two sacrifices and Lyons’ single over second. Washington made four hits and two errors and St. Louis nine hits and three errors. Alvord played third and took everyone of his seven chances, but he did not hit. Smith was at short and Hatfield played right field. The errors were made by fisues and Lohman- Cross Hall, last evening. In the “good of the order” exercise Mrs. Carrie Smith, Mr. J. Me- Nerbaney, Mr. J. Biachford, Miss Hauck, Messrs. J. W.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: T read the article in your issue of the 16th describing the pla. proposed by Mr. Bache of Philadelphia for purifying the water supply of cities by electricity in order to destroy bacteria or other germs therein. A gentleman from Kansas came here some years ago to patent the same idea or plan, but upon investigation I found that it had beon patented in England years before. Tbe En- hman’s idea, however, as I recollect it, was | Simply to purity the water by causing.» sepa tion of the foreign matter by sending cnr- rents of clectricity through the water tm the main supply pipe, the destruction of germs not being included. "The Kansas man, however, proposed to purify the water and at the same time destroy the germs and all living matter therein as well. W. C. Dover. nese teh Should Be Half-Mast. To the Editor of The Evening Star: As Decoration day is near at hand, I'am re- minded that heretofore on such daysa liberal display of the national colors has always been made by the people of this city. Now, few out- side the government buildings show the flag at its proper position, namely, half-mast. As the occasion calls for a demonstration of affection- ate remembrance and respect for the honored dead, who gave their lives so freely for this great and glorious nation, and as the services andexercises partake largely of a religious and solemn character, it would appear to be more appropriate that our flag should be laced at half-mast by all who unfurl it that lay, because it should remind us that we are mourners, and ought not put on gala attire, such as is consistent when celebrating Inde- pendence day or Washington's birthday. W.P. pickets nama Cruel Treatment of the Trees. To the Editor of The Evenina Star: Being neither @ resident nor taxpayer in this city my manifestation of solicitude for the preservation of one of its many charms, the beautiful shade trees, may appear out of place. But, whether proper or not,sights I have met with in my walks prompt me to protest against the reckless—I would like to say crnel—treatment to which « too large per cent of them is eub- i. Irefer to the barbarous practice of wing horses unhitched near or hitching them to the trees. Unless the trees be well protected they are liable to serious injury by gnawing. Among many similar instances which could be cited a young poplar on 15th opposite Aibaugh’s has recently been barked. Cannot the protection of the police be ex- tended in this direction? — Bexepict Juni. eonswans Uns ‘Massenet and “Manon.” To the Editor of The Evening Star. ‘The question was asked in Monday's Stan, “Did Massenet write music to the Abbe Pre- vorst's romance of ‘Manon Lescant/"" Yes, “Manon,” an opera comique in three acts, text by Meilhac and Gille, music by Jules Massenet, first represented at the Opera Comique.

Serious Result of a Between 22 se Several years ago Gordon C. Ashton married Charles Garner's sister and as result of their home is at No. 1845 8th street northwest, but from what happened ast evening their home has not been s pleasant one recently. Ashton is @ painter by trade and Garner has been boarding at his house. Garner thought he had Teason to believe that Ashton was not doing exactly the right thing about his sister and told him so. Ashton, who it is stated had packed his clothing preparatory to leaving the house, did not care to be called to a¢count by his brother-in-law and s quarrel was the result. ‘The men finally clinched, and on the parki in front of the house they attempted te settle the family differences by blows, and when the trouble was over Garner discovered that he had been stabbed in the back, where there were four ugly wounds. ; Policeman Lynch appeared on the scene after the fight was over, and he took the injured man to Dr. Henderson's office and then back to his home, where he was attended by Dr. D. C. Stockatill, who found that the injuries were of & serious nature. From the nature of the wounds it is evident that Garner was in a Stoopivg position when they wre inflicted, and that was all that saved (e. Ashton left the house after the fight was over, and Officer Lynch followed to his mother's house, No. 932 K street, where he arrested him. ‘The prisoner admitted thet he had been in the fight, but he denied that he did the stab- bing. He was locked up on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, but thease could not be tried today on account of the scrious condition of Mr. Garner. pe wateen-ar 5 DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION.

In the circuit court for Prince George county, Md., a petition for mandamus was re- centiy filed by the stockholders in the Mary- land Agricultural College against the governor and board of public works of the state. The petitioners claim that the stockholders are un- fairly represented on the board of trustees; that originally the board was to consist of eleven members,seven to be elected by the stockholders; that this agreement was in the nature of a con- tract; that an act of the assembly changed this representation without the assent of the stock- holders. The petition prays that the original representation be restored. The court issued an order calling on the defendants to appear in court and show cause why the mandamus should not be issued on or béfore June 15. FOR BEATING A WOMAN Judge Miller Sends a Colored Man to Jail for a Year Less a Day. A good-looking and neatly dressed colored man answering the name of Tobias B. Williams was in Judge Miller's court today on a charge of assaulting acolored woman named Julia Turner. Julia was also well dressed and was intelligent in appearance. One of her eyes was terribly braised and she is not likely to have the use of it for many days. ‘There were several scars on her face, her lip was badly cut and two of her teeth were missing. Williams was the man who inflicted all these injuries. Julia lives in Plagden’s alley and is the mother of several children, one of which bears the name of Williams. For more than ten years Tobe and Jalia have been companions and she has traveled as his wife. When he called to see her yesterda; there was a man in the room and a fight fol- lowed, during which Tobe assaulted and beat Julia, inflicting the injuries described. Judge Miller sentenced him to eleven months and twenty-nine days in jail. ed Flower Thieves at Work, The flower theft craze has again made its ap- pearance, but has not as yet reached the epi- demic form.

THE GREATEST SKIN CURES, BLOOD PURI- FIERS, AND HUMOR REMEDIES OF MODERN TIMES. This, an unsolicited testimonial of the efficacy of your GREAT SKIN CURE, the CUTICURA OINT- ‘MENT, can, however worded, poorly express mine and our opinion regarding its efficacy. We have used it on every cut, bruise or eruption, and it has cured me of chilblains and several itches and rashes, while your RESOLVENT cured ‘‘chieken cholera.” I used it as a chance experimen? with the most successful re- sults, and since taking an occasional dose of it have been comparatively free from chills, so prevalent in this vicinity. I thorouzhly believe in the CUTICURA REMEDIES as being able to cure more varied forms of disesse than any other remedy. Your CUTICURA REMEDIES have our hearty in- dorsement, and if any of our wide circle of friends and customers through our recommendation try them we feel assured that you will have another letter simfisr to this to fill what must be a lons file of recommends- tions.

Nobody—except those wh no fear to have the compo- sition of their baking powder known, and while cry- ing “absolutely pure” are warning housekeepers not to see or make a “test” of their powder, On the other hand everything used in Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder is plainly printed on the label, and the manufacturers welcome every test that can be made whether in kitchen, for the laboratory or in the Cleveland’s Baking Powder Stands all Tests.
