THE EV 4 CHICAGO CATERER. Some Very Interesting Things He Has To Tell. And as He is a Famous Caterer He Knows Just What the People Want. One of the most famous and popular caterers im the city of Chicago is John E. Shaw of 573 Madison street. Eversbody knows him and every- dedy is familiar with bis ability to provide just what the people want. ‘The extraordinary amount of work incident to the world’s fair almost prostrated Mr. Shaw. He was terribly run down, weak, nervous, tired, all the time, until he became = mere shadow of bimselr. He bad successfully catered for others, now it was necessary that he should be catered for. He found just the thing and now 1s able to cater for People when they are sick as well as in health. He is an interesting talker: “The great strain of the past few months did fndeed break down my health and strength,” he said, “and I grew weak and dizzy, tired easily ‘and was terribly nervous. “I was often absent minded and drowsy and my memory was very poor. I could get nothing to do me any good until I used Dr. Greene's Nervura CATERER JOHN E. SHAW. Blood and nerve remedy. I found this wonder- ful medicine the finest thing I have ever used.

At sunrise this morning the polls were opened in each of the four wards of this city for governor, Meutenant governor and attorney general of the state, and delegate to represent Alexandria city and county in the general assembly. Although there are three state tickets the election occasions little or no excitement. There are small crowds in the neighborhood of the polls, but elsewhere business proceeds as usual on | the business streets, and quiet prevails in the resident section. Mr. Chas. Bendheim ts the democratic candidate for the house of delegates from this county, and his elec- tion is beyond question, The vote for the democratic ticket will be a large one. There will be a considerable number of popuiist votes and some votes for Mr, Miller, the prohibition candidate. The polls will close a few minutes before 5 o'clock this evening. The corpcration court continues its ses- sion. On its probate, Mr. Willie A. Butts, formerly of Washington, has qualified as the guardian of Louisa Butts, and Mr. James R. Mansfield has given bond’ as notary public. The county court has also opened its session. Judgment has _ been entered in the case of Heiskell vs. Baker. The court has given judgment in favor of County Treasurer vs. the Board of Super- visors, in hit uit for handling county moneys, and a like judgment in favor of Clerk Young against the same board. Dur- ing the argument in this case a passage at arms took place between Attorney Smith and Supervisor Phillips, who were fined for contempt of court, but who apologized, and the matter was adjusted amicably by all parties. The statement in The Star relative to the John Brown raid gives the name of Ezra Beckham as the mayor of Harper's Ferry who was killed. The mayor was Mr. Fon- taine Beckham, the cousin of ex-Mayor Beckham and J. T. Beckham of this piace. It is believed by citizens here that the burglars who made an attempt on the Lees- burg Bank on Sunday night had previously been in this city for some days in the role of detectives. A story is told here of a hospitable Fair- fax farmer who had baited the woods near his residence for wild turkeys and went with his friends to shoot. They brought down a considerable number, but when the turkeys were brought in, it was discovered that they were all from the flock which had strayed from his own barnyard. The funeral of Mr. Moritz Ruben, one of Alexandria's leading dealers, took place this afternoon from 219 North Royal street. The remains were accompanied to the grave by representatives from the B'nai B'rith, Knights of Honor, Royal Arcanum and O. Red Men. George Schwab has been appointed regis- trar of election in the second ward, vice H. Hamilton, resigned. Mr. R. C. Crook, recently injured at the Midland raflroad yards, is suffering severely pa his injuries and may be in bed a long time. ——_—_ HYATTSVILLE. The campaign closed last night with a large and enthusiastic democratic meeting at Mr. Wm. Brock’s place near Branch- ville. Mr. Chas. Loveless presided, and Mr, John Paul Boileau acted as secretary. Speeches were made by Brooke Hunter, Milton E. Smith, Geo. T. Donaldson, candi- date for county commissioner; Pinkney A. Scaggs, John Paul Boileau, Capt. Julius H. Long, Jas. C. Rogers, Frank P. Maddox and Dr. Chas. A. Fox. The Prince George's Democratic Asso- ciation held a meeting at Lakeland last night, with Mr. John T. Burch in the chair. Routine business was transacted, and ar- rangements were made for getting the voters to the polls. While Mr. John Paul Boileau was driv- ing from Branchville a few days since the horse became unmanageable and kicked the dashboard off. The animal then ran into a corn field, where it was caught by Mr. John C. Gaylor. —__. TAKOMA PARK. A full attendance was present last evening at the first regular monthly business meet- ing of the “Takoma Chorus” in the chapel. The night of meeting was changed from Monday to Friday,and next Friday a full at- tendance of all members of “Takoma Sec- tion of the Centennial Chorus” is requested to be present, for the purpose of identifying themselves with this new chorus. The parlors of Col. Geo. C. Kniffin’s home were well filled Monday evening with the members and friends of the weekly M. E. prayer meeting, held under direction of Rev. Dr. Todd of Hamline M. B. Church, many of whose members are residents of Takoma. The services consisted of prayer, praise and brief remarks. The usual weekly meeting of scientists in Takoma was held last evening at the resi- dence of Mr. Seth Ford, Maple and Tapiip avenues, and the lecturer for the evening, Miss Herrondeen, carried her large audience with her through an interesting talk of an hour and a half's duration, at the close of which, in a comprehensive and intelligent manner, she replied to all queries. This society anticipate in the near future a visit from Mrs. Helen Van Anderson of Chicago, who awoke such an interest here last spring. Miss Jessie Riggs of the Sandy Spring dis- trict was a recent guest of Miss Jessie Lewis of Maple avenue, a former school- mate. Miss Maud Jimmerson is spending a week with friends in Sterling, Virginia. Mrs. N. Webber, with her little daughter, Mamie, has returned from a visit to Miss Minnie Schull. Dr. Lute Parsons, D. D. 8., of Baltimore, was the guest over Sunday of Dr. and Mrs. A. V. Parsons. The town council have given the W: ington Gas Light Company permission to come into the corporation limit with their pipes, for the begeft of families who desire this light, but hS not ordered it for the streets. The weather boarding is rapidly hiding from view the interior of the new P. E. Chapel, and with the falling of the leaves exposes to view from every direction a building that promises to be an ornament to the neighborhood. —_—_——— SANDY SPRING. Despite the threatened down-pour on Sat- urday evening about a hundred guests as- sembled at Lucknough to do honor to the silver wedding of Dr. Francis and Beulah Lippincott Thomas. The three brides- maids of twenty-five years ago were pres- ent and the groomsmen also, except Mr. Charles Haines, who now resides in Chica- go. A beautiful certificate had been pre- pared, which was read by Joseph L. Haines, and the paper was afterward signed by all the guests. Following a Sandy Spring fashion Mrs. Thomas wore her wedding gown of white corded silk and eight other women were brave enough to similarly at- tire themselves for the occasion, although some of the dresses were exceedingly quaint; this could not apply, however, to those of the two brides of last month, Mrs. Albert Stabler and Mrs. Clarence Gilpin, which contrasted with the old styles. The words “no presents” had been added to the invitations, but Dr. and Mrs. Thomas were the recipfents of a number of pretty gifts. The relatives and friends from a distance who attended this very pleasant reception were: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Smith and Harry Pancoast of Lincoln, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Hewlings Lippincott of Ri erton, N. J.; Mr. and Mrs. Job Hibberd, Joseph L., Charles, Lawrence, Maurice and Miss Sarah Haines, Mrs. Jacob Weaver and Miss Florence Weaver of Carroll county; Mrs. Francis Darby, Miss Mary Wilson and Miss Beulah Darby of Williamsport, Md.; Mr. and Mrs. William F. Thomas, Mrs. Edward M. Willis and son, Ralph, of Wash- ington, and Mr. and Mrs. T. Burling Hull of Baltimore, ail of whom remained in the neighborhood till Monday morning. —————— FOREST GLEN. Carroll Spring Sanitarium was closed No- vember 1. Extensive improvements will be begun on the place in a few days. Mr. James M. Engle has returned from a visit to the fair. Mr. W. S. Barber of the sixth auditor's office has bought a lot in the Linden Forest subdivision and will build a house there this winter for occupancy in the spring. The Carroll Chapel will be com about the last of this month. It will about $13,000. Work at the Consolidated Quarry Com- pany has been resumed. Messrs. Walter and William Wright have moved to Washington and will reside with their father at 1302 R street northwest. leted cost AFTEE bight with the boys ‘Yours for a clear head—Bromo-Seltzer ANACOSTIA, Mrs. A. D. Noonan gave a party last night to introduce her daughter, Miss Mary. A large number were present and the affair was a success. Fall flowers were used with effect in the decorations of the parlor. Everybody said the evening was a gay one, and it was. . The hunting fever is raging with viru- lence. Every man capable of bearing arms and many who are not have either gone into the country or are saying that they will go. Gunning is said to be profitable sport in the backwoods of Prince George's and Charles counties. All the churches are thinking over their festivities for Christmas. The preparations at St. Teresa, at Emanuel Episcopal and Garden Memorial Presbyterian, at Congress Heights, C? St. Ignatius, St. Barnabas, and the First Baptist, are well under way. Jack- son Street M. E. and the Second Baptist churches will also have gratifying Yuletide ceremonies. Merchants and real estate men say con- fidentially that things are very dull. Little money is being expended and that in very little sums. The agitation in favor of a chemical en- gine and alarm stations this side of the river is still on. It has been decided, so it seems, by the People of the town, that it is best to per- mit the Anacostia cars to run without con- ductors, than to have the number of cars cut down one-half, the management of the road threatens to do should they be forced to employ conductors. The charitable societies believe that if the winter is a hard one there will be great suffering among the poor who reside in the settlements beyond Anacostia. Prepara- tions for relief are being perfected. Miss Hattie Jenkins of the county is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Wallace of Phila- delphia. ——__ LAUREL. ‘The campaign closed here last night with & mass meeting held by the Anti-Ring Democratic Club, at which Mr. J. T. Cull again advised his hearers to down the “ring” by voting the whole republican tick- et. Quite a large crowd was in attendance, many from curiosity to hear what a demo- erat would say in favor of the opposition. The lines of both parties are closing up and this morning the probabilities are that party fealty will compel nearly every man to yote as he has always voted and not be bothered much by side issues. At one time it was thought that this would be a very quiet election and a light vote be polled, but now an effort is being made to get out the full party vote on each side. ‘he trains last night and this morning have been bringing in the voters who are em- ployed elsewhere, so that the men are more numerous in town now than they have been since last November. Last year the demo- cratic majority was abnormally large, but at this election the majority will hardly be more than 150, some sanguine partisans claiming 200, which is more than can rea- sonably be expected. Laurel is extending her borders and will soon be within three counties. We have Laurel proper and South Laurel, in Prince George's county, North Laurel, in Howard county; and now Mr. H. G. Odenwald has sold some 125 acres in Anne Arundel county to a syndicate who will lay out East Laurel. This new subdivision promises to be the handsomest part of our town, with a Public square, graveled walks, wide streets and all the modern improvements. Our streets are alive with gunners these days on their way to the surrounding coun- try, but game is not very plentiful and the hunting grounds are somewhat restricted on account of so much land being posted against trespassers. The Laurel cotton mills have received their new electric plant and the same is in operation, with over 300 incandescent burners. Hon. Barnes Compton and family leave tomorrow night for New Jersey to attend the wedding of Dr. W. P. Compton, which takes place on Thursday at Sea Bright. City ideas are taking hold upon our peo- ple, the latest being a kindergarten, which was recently started with every indication of success. The surveyors for the Baltimore and Washington electric road still linger in this vicinity, and if numerous surveys are any indication of the road coming, then we may soon expect to see the tracks laid and the road in operation. Our people are awaking to the necessity of better roads and it is confidently expected that the legislature, which meets in Jan- uary, will provide for some comprehensive system of road building which will give us good roads at moderate cost. We have the material; we need the system. — LINDEN. Maj. C. H. Lawrence gave a pleasant reunion to his daughter and her young friends last Friday evening, on which occa- sion the little people entertained the com- pany with recitations, songs and calisthenic exercises. On the program was a dialogue by Misses Hattie Thompson and Florence Scutter; recitation by Master Noble Clagett, and an original essay, entitled “Our Dog August,” by Miss Stewart. Mrs. Alfred Ray, Mrs. Maurice Clagett, Mrs, Scutter and Mrs. Lieut. Stewart were among those who enjoyed the entertainment.

The regular monthly meeting of the Vil- lage Improvement Society was held last night at the residence of Mr. L. B. Parker, with Mr. E. C. Hough, president, in the chair, and Mr. S, V. Proudfit, acting sec- retary. Mayor W. B. Patterson appeared before the society as a committee from the town council, andpasked that the society co-operate and ald the council in devising ways and means of meeting the expense of lighting the street lamps of the town. He stated that unless some steps were taken to help the council in the matter he feared that after the present month’s contract ex- pires the lighting would have to be discon- tinued. The matter was referred to the executive committee to confer with the members of the council. Messrs. S. Proudfit, A. E. Rowell, Dr. J. B. Gould and Geo. W. Hawxhurst and Miss Sue Riddle were elected members of the executive com- mittee. These, with the officers of the so- ciety, compose the committee for the en- suing year. An invitation from Rev. D. L.

Proceeding for the Discharg Receiver, The final struggle to oust the receiver of the Order of the Iron Hall and place its finances in the hands of the members was begun yesterday before Judge Winter, in the superior court at Indianapolis, Recent- ly the order reorganized in conformity with the finding of the supreme court, which held that a proof of insolvency was the only ground upon which a receiver could be appointed, and that with honest officers in control of its affairs and the charge of ‘solvency disproved the receivership be vacated. " a The plaintiffs are trying to sustain the receivership with the argument that the order 18 at present insolvent, while the other side insists that the condition of the order only at the time the suit for receiver was begun shall be testified to. The defendants admit that an insolvency now exists, but hold that it was precipitat- ed whoily by the disorganization of the or- der’s affairs as a result of recent litigation. The fight over this point is very bitter, and should the court rule that testimony can be taken only as to the order's finan- cial condition at the time the receivership action was filed it is safe to predict the ousting of the receiver. Attorney Hawkins, for the plaintiffs, spent most of the day in argument. Another point was made in the litigation. After the plaintiffs had admitted that the question of insolvency shall refer only to the time when the original action was be- gun it became apparent that they had de- serted this and fixed their hope upon some- thing else. They will now attempt to show that the membership certificates of the or- der, of which there are nearly 70,00, are liabilities in the strictest sense, Judge Howe, for the other side, claims that they are not labilities. These certificates bind the order to de- liver $1,000 to a member who has paid ten separate assessments, but the defendants claim that the supreme court has held that suit cannot be brought on these certificates, the penalty being merely a forfeiture of the membership. If these certificates are class- Mabilities, the receiver is secure; oth- erwise the order is solvent. — LAKE STEAMERS COLLIDE. th Both Sink Shortly After and a Number of Sailors Are Missing. SAND BEACH, Mich., Nov. 7.—The pro- peller Albany and the propeller Philadel- phia, two of the largest freight boats on the lakes, collided off Point Aux Daru Barques in the dense fog last night, and both sank shortly afterward.

Heavier Th: BOSTON, Mass., casts received up to 1 o'clock this afternoon indicate that an unusual interest — is being taken for an off year, and that the vote in the state will be very heavy. In many large towns and cities it is apparent that the democratic governor vote of last year, when W. E. Russell (dem.) was chosen governor, with republican state officers, has fallen off largely, and that the republicans are generally supporting the head of their ticket. Republican gains are reported from many of the smaller towns. In Boston the voting up to 1 o'clock was much heavier than usual for the morning hours and everything had proceeded quietly. No disturbance of any kind has been re- ported from one of the more than 200 pre- cincts of Boston nor from any other town or city. e ——_>- APPEAL TO GOV. FLOWER.

All this was followed this morning by criminal exclusion of lawful watchers, pro- tected by orders of supreme court, violent assault upon those watchers and their il- legal imprisonment, accompanied by open denunciation and deflance of supreme court. Orders of supreme court of no avail. Ap- peal to sheriff made in vain for protection. He peremptorily refuses. “We, citizens of Kings county, ask your instant interference as governor of this state in this grave and unprecedented emergency. We ask this in behalf of citi- zens generally, and of law, order and fair play.” NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—The polls opened here at 6 o'clock this morning and will close at 4. The day is a delightful one, warm and clear. Democrats were on guard early and the republicans were also on the alert. Richard Croker was satisfied that Maynard would be elected, although he be- leved that he would be cut in the upper part of the state. There were signs of activity at the head- quarters of all the political organizations in the thirty assembly districts. Tammany leaders are confident that they will make a clean sweep of it and elect all their can- didates, even in those districts where the republicans are supposed to be in the ma- jority. The vote here will be unusually large this year. When the polling places opened at 6 o'clock long lines of workingmen werewalt- ing to cast their votes. Detectives were on hand at many of the polling places with warrants for alleged “repeaters” and per- sons who were charged with illegally reg- istering. i —__—_ Towa.
