THE — EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, A Revolution In Eating has been brought about by the introduction of CoTToexe, the yt vegetable shortening. The i of this product, and the demonstration of its remarkable qualities, has attracted the widest interest. Hitherto the common shortening has been lard, or indifferent butter. Every one has probably suffered occasional dis- comfort from lard-cooked food; while it is well known that thous- ands are obliged to abstainentire- ¥ from everything of that kind. ‘0 such people, CoTToene is of peculiar value, widening as it does, the range of what may be eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLeNE is a cooking marvel. It combines with the food—imparts to it a tempting color, a delicate flavor, and an appetizing crispness. No trace of greasiness remains to offend the taste, or disturb the digestion. Corrotene is worthy of the careful notice of all those who value good food, of itself or for its hygienic properties. ‘Sold by Leading Grocers. ‘Made only by iN. K. FAIRBANK & CO., CHICAGO and ST.

Senator Kyle of South Dakota called at the White House today with Jadge Thomas of the Black Hills, who would like to be consul at Montreal or Melbourne or be given a judgeship in a milder climate than that of Dakota. Sena- tor Kyle said that he will take no notice of the protest of some South Dakotans against the re- cent appointment of Hughes East to a division chiefship in the weather bureau. “The kickers are some disgruntled fellows, he said, “‘and their protest is not based upon fact. Mr. East is a good man and has a fine once & man of fortune and after he lost it was rivate secretary to the late Mr. Hendricks of indiana.” 5 Col. Kilgore presented a good-looking Texas —Judge T. J.

In a general way it was rather expected by men usually well informed on District affairs that the President would send in todsy the names of the men who will sit on the bench of the new Court of Appeals. The usual batch of appointments, however, which reached the mate shortly after 12 o'clock was entirely mt on the question of the new court. It, however, contained, as noted elsewhere, the name of Dominick 1 Murphy of Washington, D..C., a6 first deputy commissioner of pensions. This appointment was well re- ceived at the Capitol among the large number of men who seemed to know Mr. Murphy, he being one of the family of that name who have for many years held such @ prominent part in the stenography connected with the Senate. The people at the Capital who know Mr. Murphy say that his equipment for the position to which he has been appointed is of the highest possible order. For man: years he occupied positions of constantly in- creasing importance in the pension office. For the past four years be has been engaged in the sion business on F street, and therefore, ax is friends point out, his equipment consists o: both inside and outside work connected with the department. ‘The fact that the President did not send in the names of the appeal judges today will prob- ably throw the appointments over until next week. The general impression seems to pre- vail today that the Senate will adjourn about the middle of next week, although nothing in anyway definite is known on tke subject, and the adjournment will depend entirely on when Mr. Cleveland has nothing further to send to that body. As Senator Harris expressed it this ing, referring to the report that the Sen- “The has anything for it to do, and there is nobody except the President ‘who knows when that point will be reached. Anybody, however, who says the Senate will adjourn this week is » mighty poorly informed man.” < Se JOHN STRICKER SIGNED. An Emergency Infielder Secured for the Local Te=m. That the Messrs.

For the past month the | students of the elocution class, under the | | direction of Mr. R. Clinton Bolinger, have been | having scenery painted and stage effects con- structedand the entertainment of last night was for the purpose of liquidating the expense ineurred. THE BATEMAN-CHASE FIGHT. ‘The Bateman-Chaso fight, which wus to have | taken place at Beltimore on the 12th of this month, has been postponed till the 15th. This was necessary because the arena of the Neptune | Club, in which the bout was to have taken place, was thought too small to accommodate the assemblage that will be present. Hence the Academy of Music has been secured for the date stated. Betting on the result is going on vigorously in Georgetown, and local sporting circles are full of rumors to the effect that heavy odds are being offered against the Georgetown man by the Baltimore people. Just the opposite opinion prevails here. Billy McCoy met a Baitimore sport in Schladt's last night and wanted to get a bet out of him to the tune of two to one on Georgetown and Balti- more backed out. Bateman is nearly down to weight and looks tobe in the best condition, better in fact than when he did up Lynch. He says that his right hand is fast improving and will be all right when the gong strikes for the first round. On the 25th of April Bateman is to meet Holland, the 120-pound champion of the United 8: t the C. A. C. He was to have met Callahan, the champ feather weight of Amerfea, but for some un- stated reason it is Holland who is to face the music. Bateman and the C. A. C. contingent will go over to Baltimore in a special car. THE COLLECTORSHIP. There is considerable activity manifested by the various candidates for the office of the col- lector of the port of Georgetown. Messre. Cropley, Blunt, Lanman, Doyle and one or two others are waging an active contest for the prize. There seems to be a disposition to fur- ther complicate matters by introducing another candidate. This is Mr. Hutchins. It is under- stood that this gentleman does not. scek the office, believing that the office should seek the man. but it is also understood that should the President think that the inter- ests of the government would be advanced by the appointment of Mr. Hutchins that gentle- man would consent to accept. It is said that under Cleveland's last administration Mr. Hutchins was prominently urged for the post- mastership of Georgetown, but refused to run for that office. Collector Johnson told Tax Star reporter yesterday that he was sleeping soundly and not losing flesh because of the attempis on bis scalp. His term does not ex- pire till one year from next December. HE DENIED Too uUCH. Armstead Bailey, a young colored man arrested for the theft of two chickens from his employer, Mr. B. B. Smith, denied the charge im the Police Court today. and he also denied every word said against him by several wit- nesses. Bailey was running opposition to his em- ployer in the sale of the chickens, selling them at half price. With the ' marked coin he purchased three _five-cent pies and when arreeted one of the pies was the shape of a quarter moon. Armstead even de- nied the pie story and his statement so dis- gusted Lawyer Hewlett, his counsel, that he gave up the case and told the court’ that nis client was not telling the truth. Judge Miller told the prisoner that he ought to be sent to the grand jury for perjury. and such action would be taken if it wore not that he appeared to have no moral conception of anything. r the larceny a sentence of thirty days was posed. IN MEMORY OF THE TATE 0. Z, MUNCASTER. In honor of the late O. Z. Muncaster me- morial exercises were held in the Mission Sab- bath school of Mt. Zion Church and a large congregation was present.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. OLD GOLD AND SILVER. The ques‘ion was recently submitted to the Commissioners whether » man in order to sup- ply himself with old gold and silver for carry- ing on his buainess as a manufacturing jeweler is under the necessity of taking out a license as ‘# junk dealer. In reporting upon the case Assessor Trimble says: “If the object of Congress in passing the act of March 3, 1891, relating to jui dealers and dealers in second-hand personal property has any bearing upon the question, viz., the tracing and. identification. of stolen property, I beg to submit that no other kind of merchandise included in the purview of this act classed as second-hand personal | is morg | able to lose its identity inthe melti pot. I belie public interests di that the Ia jemand, an law requires, « Heense (even if it were only for the purpose of registry) of all those ho pursue the Business nemed yn this cage,” This is what the attorney for the District about the case: “I am of the opinion that is not required to take out such «license where he purchased the gold and silver for con- sumption in his own manufacturing. In such case he is not a junk dealer, but the article bought enters into articles of manufacture.” REFUSED CoxsENT. Mr. Henry Wise Garnott, as attorney for Mrs. James L. Barbour, appeared befcre the Com- missioners this morning and refused to con- sent to the extension of U and Thomas stfeets through her property to Ist street, or either of them. He urged that tho usual condemnation proceedings be had if the Commissioners de- termine to extend either of the streets. eo ‘THE FIRST HOTEL LICENGE, The first hotel license to sell liquor was issued this afternoon by the excise board to J. M. Porreard, 506 14th street, through his attorney, Mr. Steever. Perreard was rejected last ear for having violated regu- Intions in keeping his place open after hours, Attorney Steever, in presenting the case to the excise board, maintained that the board had no discretion in the matter under the act of March 3, 1898, but were compelled to issue a license. ‘The point was the license granted. AS To THE COST OF A CURB. An application was recently made to the Commissioners for the abatement of s special assessment against certain lots to the extent of the cost of the new curb. The ciaim is based on the fact that the new curb in front of the lots took the place of the old blue-stone curb which the complainant put down at his own expense. ‘The caso was sent to the as- sistant attorney for report. He says in an opinion rendered today that as a matter of strict law when the new curb was put down it composed part of the street and be- came public property. It was, in other words, dedicated to public uses, and the District had» right afterward to remove it and replace it with other curb without being liable for ite value, and such appropriation of the ola curb would furnish no objection to ‘an assessment for the new curb. The old curb, however, was removed and used elsewhere, and as Mr. jomas says it must have possessed some value he thinks it would only be equitable and fair to rélieve the complainant of one-half Of the cost of the new curb and setting. AN ECONOMICAL SUGGESTION. The first controller in a letter to the Com- missioners today calls attention to an audit recently sent to his department. It sppears, he states, thata man did some ting and bought materials, The price oa peters Joud, oil, &c., was considerably higher than the contract price paid the District, | and the workmen were allowed 10 per cent proiit on all purchases. He saya tbat the attention of the issioners is invited to this matter in order that the present board of Commissioners may consider the question srhether such Purchases should hereafter be le from persons or firms having contracts with the District to farnish supplies, OBJECTS TO BASE BALL. Complaint has been losiged with the Commis: sioners against the use of » lot near the corner of 4thand T streets by men and boys who daily congregate there and play base ball. The complainant says that he will hold the District Tesponsible for uy damage done te his prop- erty or any ini jouse by the playing of base ball on the lot in question, TO OPEN STREETS, The Commissioners received a petition of H, P.

Ward from his wife forever, and the Pending in court between the broken-hearted Wife and the husband of many misfortunes will not again be heard, unless it is to suggest to the court the death of the defendant He was killed last night about 9 o'elcck by one of the electric cars on the Brightwood railroad. The scene of the killing was at a point only « short @istance from where the Rock Creek Church road turns off from 7th street, and, although ‘| Ward was one of the best known men in the eity, he was not recognized for nearly an hour after the cad of such a varied life, Car No. 7, of which Net! M. Sweet was motor- man, was the vehicle of death, and the victim probably never knew what struck him. The ¢ar wason its way to the city at the time of the sccident and the motorman bad rung his bell a short distance from where the accident bap- pened, to warn persons on the Rock Creek Church road of the approach of the car. Frank K. Ward was within hearing distance of the round of the bell, bu: he did not hear its warning, and the result was that be was struck and his body terribly mangled. Although he was disemboweled and one arm was nearly torn from tke body his face sustained no in- juries to prevent recognition. THE FATAL AccrDENT. As the car crossed Rock Creek Church road the track was lighted far enough ahead for the motorman to see the form of man leaping agaiaat one of the iron potew waich support the wires. There was nothing unusual abont this although the motorman lessened his speed, when the pole was reached the car was goii a slow rate. Z ‘When within three or four feet of the trolley pote the motorman reversed the current aad applying the breaks stopped the car before it hha gone many fost. Bat at was too late, for the man, who to all appearances had deliver- ately thrown himself before th car, was caught beneath jue wheol and instantly killed. ‘Then the car was backed, and lying across the track was the horribly mangled body of the victim. His clothing had been torn from his body, but the mangled parts had been left cov- ered with the dead men’s undergarments, and the persons who reached the scene soon after the occurrence saw nothing except the covered body, The face was tarned toward the gronnd. founted Policeman Matthews was the first officer to reach the scene and he telephoned for | the patrol wagun. In the meanwhile two more cars arrived and the gers were obliged to wait until the body had been removed from the track, which was not done until the arrival of the patrol wagon in charge of Officer Thomp- son, THE BODY IDENTIFIED. Mr. Wm. Hart of the Washington Gas Light Company, who had been attending the citizens’ meeting at Brightwood, was among the passen- gers on the second car behind the one that in- flicted the death blow, and at a single glance he identified the remains of the dead man as being those of Mr. Ward. ‘The identification was disputed, but Mr. Hart remembered that one of Mr. Ward’s fingers was mii an_examination of bis hand revealed the defect. His pocket was searched and then letters bearing the name “Frank K. Ward” confirmed the identification. The body was placed on a stretcher and lifted to the patrol wagon.
