Sales ‘The Case About 4:39 Saturday afternoon Officer T. P. Hartigan, of the sixth precinct. ar- rested Mr. George Holmes, a grocer, for ob- | structing the entrance to R. N. Walfort’s | store, 477 Pennsylvania avenue, damagel by the fire in Parker's photograpl gallery | Saturday afternoon, and this morning the | case was called in the Police Court before Taylor. NGtheer iartigan. testified ‘that he had been directed by Sergt. Falvey to keep the sidewalk clear in front of the burned | buildings. and that he had considerable trouble in doing so. While so engazed Mr. Holmes came up and stood in front of Mr. Walford’s door. The officer stated that he told Mr. Holmes that if he wished to go) in to do so, and if not he wouid have to move on. Mr. Holmes, according to the! Officer, thereupon became very indignant and said that he would move on when | ken to like a gentleman. The officer ex- | plained that he had spoken in a gentle-| manly way, but that Mr. Holmes became somewhat boisterous and defied arrest. He was thereepon arrested and taken to the | station house. Mr. Dave Kaufman testified to the trouble the officers had in keeping the street and store entrance clear, and heard Mr. Holmes demand to be spoken to in a gentlemantv manner, to which the officer replied that he had So spoken. ‘After Sergt- Falvey had testiflel as to the instruction given by him to che officers, the case was continued until next Wednes- | day morning at the request of Mr. Holmes, | when he expects to show that his arrest was unwarranted. A Good Templars’ Installation. | At the meeting of Perseverance Lodge of Good Templars Saturday evening the new official term was inaugurated with a very large attendance of members and visitors from other lodges. The reports of the sev- | “eral outgoing officers showed that the lodge | in all its departments has enjoyed excep-| tional prosperity and is at present in ex-/ cellent condition. Chief Templar Milstead, in retiring from the position to which he was unanimously elected for four terms, made a brief and feeling address to the lodge. Mr. A. H. Frear, the lodge deputy. installed the newly elected officers as fol-| lows: Chief templar. 1. L.. Corby; vice temp- | lar.

At St. Dominic's Church yesterday morn- ing Very Rev. Father Spencer, provincial of the Dominican order in the United States, celebrated high mass assisted by Father McFeely, O. P., as deacon, and Father Walsh, O. P., as subdeacon. The choir ren- dered an excellent program of music, the solos being specially tine. The sermon was preached by Rev. Father Lilly, O. P.. who “took for his text: “He shone in His day as | the morning star in the midst of a cloud | and the moon at the full, and as the sun when it shineth so did He shine in the ter ple of God.” (Excclesiastics, 1: 6, 7.) He elo- uently sketched the life and ‘work of St. minic and the wide extension of the orde> hich he founded, and urged his heare-s to = him as a model for their Christian re. Last Friday was the feast of St. Dominic, and Father Spencer came to Washington to participate in the celebration here. On that day the Dominican Sisters of the Convent of the Sacred Heart on Maryland avenue closed their retreat. ———_. Mission of the Epworth League. An interesting sermon was preached yes- terday morning by the Rev. 3. W. Hays of the Asbury M. E. Church, lth and K streets northwest, on “The Mission of the Epworth League.” The minister toox for his text the drst verse of the second chap- ter of Timothy, “Now, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus,” and after enthusiastically indorsing | the purposes of the league. said that the | league emphasized the need of beginning early in the training of the young. Too often they were let run wild, the parents! hoping to see them “revived” at a later day. | ‘This was all wrong. The time to save a| man Was when he was a boy.

No Stringency So Far as Money Among the Prisoners, The Police Relief Fund, However, in a Bad Way—Policemen Try- ing to Make Records. Stringency In the money market does not seem to affect police circles, for although many of the officers themselves, with a reg- ular salary, are complaining of “hard times” their victims are going along in the even tenor of their way and settling court bilis just the same as they did before so many banks “closed down.” The banks do not affect them, for but few of them there are who are unable to get a friend who will not put up a “V" or an “X" if necessary. While many of them are paying their fines there are some, of course, who are unable to do so, and then the vagrants and tramps | have to go down in default of bond, as no fine is imposed in such cases. ‘The Police Court is a paying institution, the collections paying all expenses and leav- ing a few thousand dollars each year for Un- cle Sam's treasury. While so many of the prisoners are seem- ingly in good financial condition such is not the case with the policemen’s fund, from | which police pensions are paid. The ‘und is fast decreasing, and unless there is some relief within a few months some of the sions will probably be reduced or cut oif en. tirely. Maj. Moore is anxious about the matter, and he will in all probability ask Congress for relief. The estimates for the fiscal year have not | yet been made up, but it Ismore than likely that an item for the relief of the fund will be the most important feature of it, so far as an increase over the regular expenses of the force is concerned. Refor Prisoners. Lately the police have exerted their efforts toward ridding the city of tramps, and in some sections a great many have been cap- tured. In this number are included the local tramps and persons who do not work, and through the efforts of the officers many of the unwelcome transient guests have been while some of the local men have been’ reformed. Concerning the ref- ormation of persons who have been wm the gratulating those connected with the Cen- tral Union Mission for what they did « few | weeks ago for a woman who had been a frequenter of the court for many years. Never was she known to remain sober more than one or two days at a time. She spent the greater part of her time in the work house, but a few weeks ago she wended her way to the mission, and now she is able to stand in the meetings and teil of her sev- eral weeks of sober life, and expresses a de- termination to remain sober and keep out of the hands of the police. “No one would believe that that was the| same woman who has figured in the courts so many times,” remarked an officer who heard her address a gathering the other night, “and if the mission accomplishes nothing else, their work should certainly be encouraged.” During the warm weather last month the heavy weights on the police force suf- fered most. Their disabilities resulted from the heat, and now that the weather is more favorable, the big policemen are doing duty the same as in cool weather. »At one time there were about ten of the heavy weights sick. The establishment of the all-night patrol system in two of the precincts has proved @ success, for often the services of the po- lice are needed at all nours of the night. With an all-night service in the centrai part of the city, the officers are able to re- spond to emergency calls from all sections, and make the fe age before the lapse of time renders their presence useless. The officers are in hopes that the all-night ser- vice will be extended to other precincts. Making Records. “Some of the policemen seem to be try- ing to make a record for the highest num- ago,” said an old copper the other day. “It is nothing unusual to see a man arrested and several charges made against him. Each charge, though, is a case, and {t makes a record against the good name of the city. It would be just as well in many cases to prefer only one charge and let the court consider the character of the mai and offense in dealing out the punishment. ‘There are forty-six members of the force who are detailed at various places, enough to establish another precinct. The fact that there are so many details made badly cri ples the force at times. and some of the men, It ts said, are detailed at pisces where ere OU; 0 be persons other than lcemen regularly employed. 1 Matter of Vacations. Maj. Moore has not had his vacation as yet. He is head over heels in work, for be- tween the liquor license applications, com- plaints and requests of all sorts and his annual report he hardly has a minute to himself. Later in the month, however, he will probably take a few days off and go away with the Licht Infantry. Chief Clerk Sylvester has also been kept busy, but he manages to get a day off not and ‘then to visit his family at Harper’ Ferry. Mr. Sylvester is an expert angler, and, the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers always suffer when he goes to the Ferry. Last week he spent one day there and caught thirteen bass. Inspector Hollinberger of the detective y on a two weeks’ corps went away ti He was accompanied by his wife. leave. From here he started to Pittsburg, where he will be the guest of Chief Roger O’Mera of the Pittsburg police force. From there he will go to Ohio to visit his brother, and may, perhaps, spend a short while in Chi- cago. Detective Wheeler expects to go to the world’s fair in September. Lieut. Kelly of the sixth precinct is feel- ing unwell, and during his leave Sergt. Byrnes is in charge of the precinct. Pend haan “Many Treasury Changes.” To the Editar of The Evening Star: In your issue of Satuzday last, under the head of “Many Treasury Changes,” you state that “the present policy’of the Treas- ury Department is to make public only the names of those promoted. Also that while it is not considered especially hard to re- duce a man’s salary, or dismiss him, it is considered a great wrong to publish that fact in the newspapers. This policy, how- ever, applies only to the classified service. I beg to Inquire, Mr. Editor, being a disin- terested party, why a cloak of secrecy should be used to screen official acts per- taining ‘to the classified service, when no such garb is required otherwise.

In speaking to a Star | Teporter Mr. Waple said that the thteves, | atter they had forced the safe, could have | taken over $3 worth of jewelry had they | been so disposed, but that ali that was! missed was what is stated above. He said | that no clothing or goods from the store | were taken and from this fact, as well as the bungling manner in which the safe Was opened. he is inclined to believe that the work was not that of professionals, but rather of some parties who knew the store and its contents. He has reported the rob- to the Post Office Department and flgo to the chief of police in this city. pister Sowa { No Ice Trust This Season. j Because of the lateness of the season, and owing to the fact that several of the| leading men in the ice business are out of | town, it is said that there will be no con- solidation of the local ice companies be- fore the expiration of the season.

T also beg to ask, Mr. Editor, if the whole- sale reduction of faithful, competent and experienced clerks to a lower salary for no cause whatever, save that of making places at higher salaries for the same number of comparatively new and less experienced clerks,some of whom have two,three or four members of thei> families quartered on the government and ail drawing good sala- ries, is not a flacrant violation of the civil service law. If laws enacted by the law- making power of our government are to be obeved, why make an exception of this law? If seducing a clerk to a lower salary and continuing him at the same desk. as is in- variably the case, makes said cierk more efficient, T would suggest a trial of the same rule with the heads of departments, bureaus, division chiefs, &c. v August 7, 1893. ——— Williams College Cente: Williams Coilege will celebrate its cen- tennial next October, the exercises be- ginning on Sunday, the 6th, when a sermon will be preached by Rev.

On Monday the &h, there will be av educational con ference. at which addresses will be made by many well-known professors, field sports by students of the college, afternoon teas and a reception at right by the president and trustees.

Few Present at Yesterday's Meeting, But # Good Deal of Talk. The Poeple's Free Thought Exchange held a meeting yesterday in the Blavatsky Lodge, No. 2, on F street. There were but thirteed people present, but they managed to divide up the time and subjects so well that they talked from 3 o'clock to 7, the hour at which their lease of the rooms ex- pired. ‘The meeting was opened by Mr. Gustave Augerstein, who stated that he had adver- tised the meeting in the daily papers in hopes that some of the Senators and Con- gressmen would attend and exchange views on the topic which had been selected, that of “The Money Crisis, Its Cause and Rem- Ly. Pretty much everybody was given a chance to vent his opinions and then they passed a resolution demanding the election of some person who is not a member of the House of Representatives to the posl- no ‘er of that body. ‘There was another resolution presented whose duty It shoul 0 86 = ing place In some public park or building where we will not have to pay rent to some landlord for :he privilege of agitating public questions, but should sald commit- tee find it impossible to carry out its in- structions without going to Congress then it shall go there, with full power from this body of citizens.” ‘Mr. James Seidon Cowdon offered a res- olution, which was algo unanimously adopt- ed, setting forth that as the Secretary of the Treasury has ample sows under the act of March 3, 1881, to call all of the out- standing interest-bearing bonds of the United States for immediate redemption, and Congress has power to coin the de- claratory, not promissory, full, not partial, legal tender money of this republic, in vari- ous denominations, on sheets of aluminum or silk threaded paper, as the people may refer and then cover it into the treasury for the purpose of paying “the debts of the United States;” and $6,000,000 of said money can be prepared in four months to pay said bonds, therefore, ‘we do hereby demand the immediate calling and redemp- tion of all of the said outstanding interest- bearing bonds of the United States, thus leaving the national banks free to go out of business or to reorganize under the laws of their respective states.” — One Plan for Solving the Problem. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Permit an old soldier with twenty years’ experience in mines and mining, and who has visited every mining state and terri- tory of our country, to suggest a solution of the silver problem, which, he thinks, will allay the fructifying disquietude in this democratic administration, and, If 80, entitle him to another brevet from a demo- cratic Congress. . And my plan is so simple ‘and complete the wonder will be that it has not been adopted long ago. Listen: If the Congress and the President will create a law authorizing the owners of do- mestic silver bullion to take it to our mints and have it made into octagonal or circular Pieces of 1 ounce, 1-2 ounce, 1-4 ounce and ol of pure silver, paying seigniorage for the same, the dark, lowering democrat- fe clouds will disappear and the glorious rainbow of success, peace and plenty will again enarch our ‘country, and President leveland’s second administration be “thrice blessed.” I suggest our mints to insure absolute honesty of welght and purity of metal. By this process you can not only utilize our entire domestic silver output, and all the silver in our treasury,but actuaily create @ currency that will be accepted and used all ovet our country, particularly in our mining &nd western states, and which will have a certain fluctuating value, just as our “greenbacks” did in the ‘60's ‘and ‘70's. ‘True, you thus make a commodity of sil- Ver, but is not this what the monometalists of the eastern states desire? And as long as the silver producer can at once convert his silver into gold or United States notes, and can purchase with it, in very conve- nient shape for handling and transporta- tion, the necessities and luxurtes of life, it is virtually money, if it ts a “commodity. Again: In thus utilizing our domestic silver you give our country what I think it so much needs—more money to meet the requirements of its ever increasing popula- tion and business. Trade will at once adapt itself to the daily fluctuations in the price of pure silver, just as it did twenty- five years ago in the market (gold) value of “greenbacks.” And so long as silver fluctuates in value, you cannot establish a standard parity or ratio in gold -end sil- ver coin. My plan does away with this, as the silver pieces in ounces are not coins of fixed values. ‘The repeal of the purchasing section in the so-called Sherman law will, in my judgment, make matters worse in the stl- ver centers. The following extract is from a letter of an experienced mining engineer in Denver, Col., dated July 29: “We are having the most serious times here imaginable: No money, no credit, ne (silver) mining, ‘no business; distrust, dis- tress, disaster, despair. T believe, Mr. Editor, my plan, tf put in- to execution, will remedy this’ deplorable state of affairs and relieve the financial distress of our country. GEORGE P. IHRIE, Trenton, N. J.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: A lady whom I escorted to a railroad sta- tion this morning, being quite sick, the gate- keeper (to whom her condition was stated) was asked that she be permitted to pass through and enter the train.

Under such circumstances should not some discretion be allowed these custod- jans? Managers are asked to ake this question home. MEDICUS.

Mr. Holmes at the First Presbyterian Church, 4 1-2 street. The sermon was based on the text | found in the forty-seventh chapter of Eze- kiel and the ninth verse, “And everything shall live, whither the river cometh.” After speaking of the significance of Ezekiel's vision to the Jewish exiles as a prophecy of the spread of the knowledge of God through the instrumentality of the Jewish nation, the preacher went on to show how in the text there is to be found a promise and a pictuge of the way in which Christian truth Was to find its way to the world through the channel of the Christian Church. In the Ume of Christ and the apostles this proph- ecy found its swift and Ifteral fulfillment. Away up in Nazareth we find the fow tain head of the stream of Christian truth, which, as it flows along through Galilee and Judea and out into Asia and unto Pome gains constantly in volume and intensity, carrying healing and life wherever it soe But since the first century the church lus not always been a minister of life to the multitude. ‘The centuries have witnessed the formation of a mighty channel for the pas- sage of the waters of life. The churen, us an institution, has steadily increased in wealth and power, but despite her material prosperity, she is ot today conveying spit tual life to the multitude to an extent com- mensurate with her opportunities. She is surrounded with dense masses of souls, en- during deep distress and full of an unutter- able discontent; souls who find in her min- istry and teaching too often neither heal- ing nor life. rhe speaker then went on to say that the failure of the church to impress its mes- sage upon the people was due not to any lack of power in the gospel Itself, but co the lifelessness of the church. The first need of the hour is, that the church should preach the whole message of Jesus with full faith in its perfect practicability. His gospel not a gosnel of future redemption taere! but a gospel of daily redemption and pe! sonal righteousness. Nor is this all, there is also need that the church should pro- claim an incarnate gospel, ‘ne that finds daily embodiment in the’ characcers und lives of those who claim to be Christia The Master lived His gospel and therein laid its power with men. Wherever Chris- tian truth has found its way to the head of humanity {t has first become incaraute In some human life. That faith ts a jiction which does not control the passions und sweeten the spirit and issue in rizhteous- ness. Throughout the great universal church there is pressing need not for more elaborate organization, nor for a tore com- plicated ecclesiastical machinery, but for a revival of spirituality, for consecrated men and women upon whom Pentacost has come, by the consecration of single souls has the spjritual progress of the race been wrought. Not until the Holy Spirit shall come and make us new men and women in Christ Jesus shall the prophecy be fulfilled “Lo every thing shall live, whither the river cometh.” >—— TAKOMA ‘PARK. A very pretty home wedding occurred in this neighborhood on Tuesday evening last, when the relatives and intimate friends of the high contracting parties were pres- ent at the residence of the uncle of the bride, Mr. D. Main, to witness the mar- riage performed by Rev. Mr. West of Brookland, D. C., of Miss Rose Martin to Mr. David Seek. The bride was becom- ingly attired in a white costume. The young people will go to housekeeping in the vicinity of their old home. All effort has failed so far to discover from whence the bullet came that passed through the 6:45 p.m. Frederick express on Friday last as it was nearing the bridge at Lamond’s station. The shattering of the car window and liberal sprinkling with broken glass of a gentleman who sat but a few inches beyond the line pursued by the ball was a narrow escape. It was near this spot that the boards of the bridge were taken up last spring and placed across the track, but discovered in time to avert an accident. The colored camp meeting began yester- day morning in the woods near North Ta- koma. The services attracted a large num- ber from Washington and were well ut- tended, and notwithstanding the heavy shower in the early evening the gathering at night was a large one. A party of ‘young Takoma people, chap- eroned by Mrs. Dr. Waters and Mrs. Dar- Ung, were guests Saturday night at the dance at Forest Inn. Mr. and Mrs. W. Brittain, with Messrs.

The republican primary meetings held yesterday in the several election districts of the county were well attended and much interest was manifested in the coming cam- paign. The object of these meetings was to select delegates to a county convention to be held here next Tuesday for the pur- pose of electing four members of the re- publican state central committee, four del- egates to the state convention in Baltimore on the first Wednesday of September and to nominate a legislative and county ticket. The meeting at this place was presided over by James Martin with Wm. Proctor as secretary. A committee consisting of Messrs. John G. England, Thos. Dawson, Horace Sedgwick, Alex. A. Braddock and Dorsey Offutt was appointed to nominate seven persons to serve as delegates to the county convention and five to act as a coun- ty committee for this district. The follow- ing were named by the committee and glected as delegates to the state convention: Thos. Dawson, A. A. Braddock, John G. England, D. W. Ofutt, J. W. Martin, Hor- ace Sedgwick, Adam” Powell; as county committeemen, Horace Sedgwick, John G. England, Wm. Proctor, Wm. Johnson and James Martin were selected, On the sub- Ject of nominating an entire legislative and county ticket there was some difference of opinion among those present and the mat- ter will be determined by the county con- fon. In political circles the names of Messrs. Jos. T. Moore, Thos. Dawson and Upton Darby ‘are mentioned as probable candidates for the place of state senator, and Capt. John McDonald, Ruger Farquhar and Philemon M. Smith for the house of delegates. Although the county is largely democratic Messrs. Moore, McDonald and Smith have been successful at previous elections, Mr. Moore having been elected to the senate, Capt. McDonald to the house of delegates and Mr. Smith to the board of county commissioners, Owing to the bad feeling in the democratic ranks both be- fore and since the primary election the re- publicans appear to have strong hopes of electing a portion of their ticket. Ridgely Brown Camp of Confederate Vet- erans held a meeting here today which was attended by quite a number of old soldiers from the county, the District, Baltimore city and other piaces. The meeting was presided over by Commander E. J. Chiswell and Adjutant EL. Amiss acted as secre- tary. Gen. George H. Stewart of Baltimore, who was present by invitation, made an address to his old comrades and explained the objects of the state association pre- paratory to this camp becoming a member of the same. The following members were enrolled: E. L. Amiss, David G. Carlisle, Jno. O, Clark, E. J. Chiswell,Wm. A. Davis, S.C. Jones, R. P. Hays, C. D. Luckett, RM. Mackall, H. M. McLeod, M. F. Pyles, Geo. P.

A.M. —_-__ GAY COUNTRY TIME: ‘inson, daugh- of this place, season at Cape At Various Festivities at Forest Glen, M Among the many gay events which con- stantly occur at the Inn, Forest Glen, one which was marked by the absence of any formality was the celebration of the birth- day of Mrs. Lilian A. Nicholls. The room was decorated with ferns for the occasion, and at one end a throne and canopy, deco- rated with the flag of our country, was erected. In the presence of a score of inti- mate friends the ceremony of cfowning the queen was enacted. Presents, given in a spirit of fun and accompanied by suitable verses, were bestowed upon Mrs. Nicholls, and after each was opened the birthday cake, upon which sixteen candles burned, Was cut, and healths were drunk in claret punch. “A Virginia reel was then danced by the entire company, as an ending well fitting the jolly little’ entertainment. A childrens’ fancy dress ball was given in the spacious ball room of the Inn, where so many Washingtonians are now summer. ing, on last Thursday night. The bril- liantly lighted room, the cay music and the fancy costumes of ‘the little ones made pretty picture for the eyes of the specta- tors who lined the walls of the room. After | the grand march, with which the ball was opened, and which was led very creditably even in the most intricate parts by Selina Harris and Rosa Johnson, Miss Helene Elseman entertained all present by her re- markably graceful rendition of the skirt dance. Another feature of the evening was the Jack Horner Pie, which, when opened, displayed many plums in the shape of pres- ents ‘for the little dancers. — Quite a number of round dances were en- the children, and then re- were served. Among the most noticeable figures on the floor were little Carl Bradford as Cupid, Frances Miller, Butterfly; Frances Clarke, But- terfly: Edna Eiseman, Bo Peep; Rosa John- son, Yum Yum: May Harris, Flower Girl: Selina and Jeanette Harris, Court Ladies: Maddox Miller, Prince; ‘Carroll Clown; Robert E. Jennings, Indian Chief: Corinne Jennings, Goddess of Liberty Gertrude Jennings, Highland Lassie; Flora and Lilian Manning, Flower Girl and Fai Helen Tullock, Fairy; Ethel Tullock, Quai eress; Arthur Devlin, “Boy Blue: Helene Elseman, Ballet Girl; Bessie Reale, Fairy, and numerous others." By far the most con- splcuous of those in the grand march were Mr. Harry Blair Smith and Mr. Eugene Gaines, who, despite the fact that their childhood’s days are long past, appeared as the Infants. The room rang with applause when the entertainment concluded with a Sallor’s Hornpine, danced by Jeanette Har- ris and Helene Etseman, and then the com- pany dispersed. a ae The Corinth Canal Opened tn Greece. ‘The Corinth canal was opened by the King of Greece yesterday in the presence of all the members of the royal family, the cabinet ministers, the foreign diplomatic representatives, the principal military and civil officials end an tmmense crowd of citizens. The king made a speech, in which he expressed his great pleasure on seeing the canal finished in his reign. The open- ing of the canal was signalized by the firing of military salutes and by the enthusiastic cheering of the multitude present. ‘The first sod of the canal across the Isthmus of Corinth was turned by the King of Greece in April, 188 The Isthmus {s about three and’ three-quarters. miles in breadth. In the middle of the isthmus there Is a ridge 120 to 19 feet high, which is approached on each side by a plain from the shore. KIDNEY TROUBLES. BRIGHT’S DISEASE CURED.

Church Services Yesterday. Two Washington clergymen officiated in churches here yesterday, Rev. Dr. Snyder of Washington celebrated the services at Grace church on Patrick street and Rev. C. C, Mohart of Washington preached at the German Lutheran Church on Cameron street. In the absence of the pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, Rey. Dr. R. C.
