HOW THE PEOPLES MONEY IS SPENT The Report Made Yesterday to the Central Relief Committee. CANVASS OF THE CITY As was made evident by the reports made at the meeting of the central relief commit- tee of citizens yesterday afternoon, the work that was intrusted to them is pretty well in hand. There was, in the first place, reports of a financial showing, the money on hand, and where the money that had been paid out hed gone. These reports were | read by the secretary of the committee,Mr. J. W. Somerville. The report from the treasurer of the committee, Mr. Beriah Wilkins, showed the following receipts and disbursements: | From proceeds of concert.. | From subscription to fund. From Post relief fund. These have been paid as follows: | To police department. To Cavanagh (clerk).. : To J. Harrison Johnson for freight, | care of wood and expenses........ 45.75 i Piebosabes r $4,009.87 Leaving balance on hand....... + 95,685.62 H ‘Through the Police. | ‘The chief clerk of the police department, Mr. Richard Sylvester, informed the com- mittee that the expenditures for the relief of the poor from January 1, and including | January 20, made through this department, | amount to $4,372.50, on an issue of 2,832 or- | ders to heads of families, in detail as fol- lows: Precinct 1 Orders 73 Amount $142.00 ah Slu vad 668.50 Cancanun 317 Total orders 2,332 Total $4,572.50 Charity concert funds through cen- tral relief committee. Excess over charity fun through committee. $428. ‘This indicates, the lowest calculation, 11,325 persons assisted. None of the con- cert money was expended for rent purposes, but to pay for fuel and provisions Assoclated Charities Work. The report from the Associated Charities made by the general secretary, L. 8S. Em- ery, was as follow: “In compliance with your request with reference tu the Associated Charities dis- bursements, ete., I will state that of the 91,000 appropriated by the committee I ap- portioned to the several divisions for their use as they needed it at present: To second division, $100; to third division, $50; to sixth division, $150; to eighth division, $100; to |minth division, $40; to eleventh division, | sa00; total, $1,Gu0. | “Leaving the others organized for appor- tionment as they might need in future and the unorganized ones to be looked after by | the central office, to wit, the fourth, sixth, seventh and tenth, the county and Anacos- tia to come under the direct care of the central office, as we might raise funds to meet the exigencies at present in those lo- | calities. “The divisions have expended the appor- tionments about as follows to date: “The second, $59; the third, $20; the sixth, the eighth, $194; the ninth, $36; the enth, $514. Total, $v73. ‘Besides this, the central office has ex- pended against the appropriation $150, making a cotal expended against the ap- Propriation $1,123. “The Associated Charities will, if the committee thinks proper, assume the dif- ference of $123 in excess of the appro- Priation. South Washington has drawn heavily—with an average call at their head- quarters of about 125 to 150 per day.

Personal Visitations. “We have, through our visitors, gone to the homes of about 1,200 families, as- certained their necessities, and quietly aided them to coal, clothing, groceries, bedding, and in some cases to rents, to Keep them from being turned out of doors— none of which is charged to the central re- We found that the unem- ployed were beginning to feel the strain eavily from August last, and we were heavily taxed before the central relief com- mittee was organized, so that we had al- |ready Incurred indebtedness in excess of jour receipts.

The | Pledge of $1,000 by this committee has en- abled us to proceed cautiously, but al- | ready our disbursements and obligations exceed our receipts this year.” Distrib: Relief. The chairman of the distributing com- mittee, Mr. Lawrence Gardner, made an interesting staement of what is being done, which was as follows: During the past week the committee ; has met daily at the rooms, 624 Louisiana avenue, and settled all cases calling for immediate action at once. Your committee will readily see that we have many difli- culties to surmount before we could get the work to running smoothly, but believe that we have made rapid strides duriag the past week. It is evident, however eco- nomically the work may be conducted, and even should this mild weather con- tinue, the balance, as shown in the report of the secretary, in view of the daily in- creasing demands, is entirely inadequate for the work immediately on hand, and that a very much larger sum than has heretofore been contributed will be requir- ed in the near future. The demands on the depot for clothing and bedding have been quite heavy, and the committee have distributed everything coming into their possession as promptly as possible. Mr. Phillips, besides making a very liberal contribution of clothing, has also notified the committe? that he has a bedstead and bedding subject to the order of the committee. The demand on us for shoes has principally been for children. We would therefore ask that the public be urged to send us contributions in that Mne. In distributing meal tickets the com- mittee has found a universally expressed sympathy in our movement and a desire on the part of all to assist us in the sale of meal ticket: Wanted No Change. This morning a gentleman called at the office to purchase $2 worth of tickets, hand- ing the clerk a $10 Dill, stating at the same time that he did not desire any change. The committee therefore used the balance of the money to purchase tickets, and handed the same over to the police and other agencies for distribution to deserv- ing people. We have also received some contributions in money, which have been | handed over to our treasurer and by him acknowledged through the public press. While your committee are inclined to leaye the distribution of the funds appro- Priated for the use of our different agen- cies entirely in their hands, at the same Ume they would respectfully suggest and | recommend that no order be issued for | | Sroceries for a less amount than $1, as we); are unable to see how a less amount can in any way relieve urgent distress, such as this committee aim to reach. There have | been a number of applications from the | different organizations desiring to act as | agents for this committee. The committee, | after giving the matter due consideration | and investigation, recommend that the j offers be accepted so that the funds may be distributed as generally as possible. joney Appropriated. The committee on distribution: would therefore recommend the following appro- priations: | To the Deaconesses’ Home... To the United Hebrew Charities. To the Centra! Union Mission .

The Work of Canv The chairman of the committee of can- vass, Mr. George Truesdell, stated that he had nothing definite as to progress. The canvass began on Monday, but in some of the districts it did not get under way until yesterday. So far very few reports have been received from the chairmen of the districts. 1t was not possible at this time to form any idea of what the results of the canvass would be. he presented a communication from Gen. Looker, tne vice president of the Associated Charines in Georgetown, suggesting that his organization have charge of te dis- tribution of relief in that section. Col. ‘Truesdell also caiied attention to the offer made by Woodward & Lothrop placing at the disposal of the committee for distribu- tion their force of delivery wagons. He referred to the presence of Mrs. Mc- Gili, a member of the canvassing commit- tee in charge of the Le Droit Park dis- trict, and jupon invitation Mrs. McGill spoke briefly. She recommended that the canvassing committees, as far as practi- cable, be made permanent, and that cases can be referred to such committees for in- vestigation and reports. This suggestion was referred to the committee on distribu- tion, as was that also from Gen. Looker. Resolutions offered by Mr. Somerville were adopted that the committee make ap- Propriations at each meeting of any bal- ances on hand, and to whatever institu- tion an appropriation be made the committee will not be responsible beyond the amount appropriated. The committee then adjourned until next Tuesday after- noon. The following were present: Col. John ‘Tracey, chairman; J. Harrison John- son, John F. Cook. Judge C. C. Cole, Dr. L. W. Ritchie, Miss Harriet B. Lorine, Mrs. J. W. Babson, T. W. Noves and L. &. Emery. H. H. Twombly and H. P. Godwin, from the canvassing committee, were also present. Fands Nearly Exhausted Col. Tracey, chairman of the central re- Nef committee, today addressed the follow- ing to Chairman Truesdell of the canv: ing committee: WASHINGTON, D.C., January 24, 1894. Col. George Truesdell, Chairman citizens’ The financial statements sub- | mitted at yesterday's meeting of the central relief committee, eonsidered in connection with the appropriations of funds for im- mediate use, made in accordance with rec- ommendations of the committee on distri- button, show a balance now available of only $1,032. That small sum is insignificant in com- parison with the daily increasing demands for relief. The mild weather has lessened the pressing need for fuel and in a small degree affected that for the distribution of heavy clothing; but it has not decreased the very urgent calls for supplies and of pro- visions and for shelter. In view of the virtual exhaustion of the relief fund of $9,645 which has been ayvail- able for the work, !t seems proper to direct attention to the condition of affairs, which leaves the future of the relief movement and the fate of the distressed and deserving poor so largely dependent on the systema- tized work of your committee and its local executive branches. Yours respectfully, (Signed) JOHN TRACEY, Chairman Central Relief Committee. —_~ MASONIC VETERANS’ BANQUET. Sixteenth Anniversary of the Asso tion Appropriately Celebrated. Upward of a hundred members of the Masonic Veterans’ Association sat around j the banquet table at the National Hotel last evening to celebrate the sixteenth anni- versary of the organization of the society. The occasion was one of the most deligzht- ful in the history of this body of men, who are skilled in the secrets of Masonry. Around the board were men who have grown old as members of the mystic craft. There were prominent men from all sec- tions of the country and a number of dis- tinguished guests. The banquet began shortly after $ o'clock, with the venerable president of the asso- clatton, Clement W. Bennett, at the head of the table. On his right were Mr. Henry S. Merrill, grand master of the Grand Lodge of the District; Elisha E. Meredith of Virginta and Mr. B. H. Warner; on his left were Mr. George H. Walker, grand high priest of the Royal Arch Masons; Messrs. Noble Db. Larner and Harrison Dingman. The hall was beautifully decorated with potted plants and the walls were generons- ly hung with the stars and stripes. Messrs. William 8. Roose and George Gibson were the stewards of the occasion, and the pe = ype ered by the former, were enlivened with suitable quotations fro: standard poets. 5 api The Speechmaking. With the conclusion of the banquet came the speechmaking, and President Bennett, in the capacity of toastmaster, introduced Mr. Timothy F. Green, the first vice presi- dent of the association and one of its oid- est members, who read a bright, original Poem, suitable to the occasion. The idea was that though the members were growing old their hearts remained young, and the toast to the association was heartily re- sponded to. Grand Master Henry S. Merrill in an address on the Grand Lodge of the District spoke of its remarkable growth and success and expressed a hope that in the course of time they would erect a new and commodious Masonic temple that would be a credit to the city. Among the pleasant features of the even- ing was the music furnished by a Masonic quartet, composed of Messrs. J. M. Bu an, E. S. Holmes, H. E. Kalser and w. Hancock. Mr. John Tweedale recited one of Kipling’s poems in his best syle. Among the speakers of the evening were Mr Noble D. Larner, who spoke of the young veterans’ association; Mr. Harrison Dirg- man, on the great Masonic brotherhood; Mr. Simon Wolf,on “The Country in Which We Live; Representative Meredith of Vir- ginia,on “The Craftsmen Across the River;’ Mr. B. H. Warner, on “The Virtues of Masonry as One of the advents of Good Citizenship; Controller C, H. Mansur, who urged upon the members the advisability of placing a bill before Congress demand- ing property taxation. Mr. Weston Flint contributed the second poem of the even- ing, which he sald was suggested by the saying of Cicero that old age was the pleasantest time of life. There was also a song by Gen. G. W. Bulloch. Mr. Frederick Webber, dean of the su- preme council of the thirty-third degree, asked that a contribution for the poor be taken, and $25 was collected and ordered to be turned over to the superintendent of the police for the destitute.

Campbell Believed to be Getting the Lion's Share. Senator Brice Taking Measures to Succeed Himsclf—The Next Legis- lature Elects a Senator. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 22, 1894. Congressman Joseph H. Outhwaite ar- rived home from Washington Saturday to confer with his constituents, and particu- larly the relatively large number of them that are candidates for the federal appoint- ments here, which are supposed to be with- in his contro, and when he returns to Washington will, no doubt, have decided in his own mind—if he had not done so before returning to Columbus—whom he will nomi- nate for the Columbus post office, and to whom he will give his support for appoint- ment to the state pension agency, to suc- ceed Gen. Jno. G. ‘Mitchell. In the distribution of Ohio patronage Mr. Outhwaite seems, from this point of view, to have taken but a small part. He is rated as a strong administration democrat, however, and may be supposed to have viewed with satisfaction the complete con- trol of these federal appointments which ex-Governor Campbell has managed to maintain, to the almost complete discom- fiture of Senator Brice. About the only federal office of note in this state that Sen- ator Brice has secured for a friend of his was taken from Mr. Outhwaite, however. Reference is had to the United States in- ternal revenue collectorship for this dis- trict. There were a large number of can- didates, but the contest ultimately nar- rowed down between Dr. N. W. Ni e, W. Dun, a nephew of the “Old Roman, who had the support of Mr. Outhwaite, the Thurmans, and at least the friendship of ex-Governor Campbell. The fight was sup- posed, by all interested, to have been set- tled In Dun’s favor, and it was confidently expected that President Cleveland would appoint him as soon as the election was over. But, to the surprise of all, the ap- pointment wae given to Editor 8, M. Mc- Millen of the Springfleld Democrat, a close friend of Senator Brice. Gov. Campbell's I Immediately after Mr. Cleveland’s in- auguration § ex-Governor Campbell an- nounced that he would recommend no one for appointment, and it would be useless for democrats wishing offices to apply to him for recommendations. He wished to keep his hands off the Ohio patronage. His friends explained this course by saying that Mr. Campbell knew he would make more enemies than friends by taking part in the contest for places, and he desired to be as popular with all classes of democrats &3 possible, so as to be in position to se- cure the state's solid support for presi- dential nominee in 1806. The first two im- portant Ohio appointments, however, to James F. Neal, Mr. Campbell's old friend and neighbor, and Claude Meeken, his private secretary when he was govern- or, The ex-governor explained that he ‘had deviated slightly trom his rule in these cases because they were friends who had particularly obligated him when he was in Ohio politics and needed help. But since then, every time there has been a contest between a Campbell und Brice man for federal appointment, the ex-governor has made a Journey to Washington and secured ence. result that the Campbell man hi pointed within the next few days. p- Olio politicians to whom it is a matter of so little seriousness as to be joked about. Senator Brice and his friends seem to take it all good naturedly. It is, no doubt, good policy for him to do so. No democrat in Ohio is more concerned in pulling his party together just now than is Senator Brice. If the next legislature is not democratic, he will not retain his seat in the Senate. “I understand perfectly well that Mr. Cleveland is under some obligations to ex- Governor Campbell,” said a Columbus dem- ocrat to The Star correspondent last week, “for if Mr. Campbell had listened to the blandishments of Tammany at Chicago in 1802, and joined tne Ohio delegation to that of New York against Mr. Cleveland, he could never have been nominated. But isn't that debt about paid off?" This democrat, doubtless, expressed the feelings of a great many members of the party who are good friends of ex-Governor Campbell. It looks Ike a foolish piece of business for the ex-governor to engage in, if he has further political aspirations, for while Senator Brice may find tt politic now to keep a smile on his countenance, no mat- ter what happens, he is not likely to forget the humiliation to his friends and himself when he geta the whip hand, as he is sure to do. it now looks as though the party in thi tate would be split in factions, so long these men live and lead in Ohio politics. Gov, MeKinley’s Second Term. Governor McKinley enters upon his sec- ond term under most auspicious circum- stances, both as to his career as governor and the larger political life beyond that is He makes no changes in the personnel of his administration, and his first term merges into the second without a percepti- ble jar. In one person, whom the governor has reappointed to a position In his office— Executive Clerk Charles M. Bawsel—many of the readers of ‘The Star will take special interest, for the reason that he is a Wash- ingtonian, born and bred. He was a page in the national House of Representatives when Maj. McKinley first came to Congress seventeen years ago, being one of the youngest boys ever employed in that ca- pacity. For six years he was employed as assistant to John H. White, one of the of- ficial reporters of the House, leaving this work to accept the assistant clerkship of the ways and means committee of the Fiftieth Congress. He was private secretary to Maj. McKinley during the framing of the McKinley bill, and on the major’s retirement from Congress went with him to his home in Canton, and when he was elected governor of Ohio Mr. Baw- sel was made executive clerk. His rela- tions with the governor are close and per- sonal, und no one—not even his private sec- retary—enjoys more entirely his confidence, Mr. Bawsel recently married the daughter of a prominent Canton manufacturer, and while he has not forgotten his friends and associations in Washington, has practical- ly settled in Ohio for good, or at least so long as Governor McKinley shall remain here. —_—___ HE BEGGED FOR Foop. The U Ppy Experience of a Young Man Out of Work. A comfortably dressed young man, whose name was given as Horace Lee and who said his home was in Hamilton, Ohio, ap- peared in Judge Kimball's court today and told a sad story of his suffering for want of food. “I arrested this man on Pennsylvania avenue last night,” said a policeman. “He was begging and I saw him stop nine per- sons on one square.” “Every word the officer said is true,” said the prisoner, “but I assure you that I am not a beggar by profession, neither am I one from choice. I am a railroad man cut of work and am willing to do any kind of labor to keep from begging. The reason I begged was that I was hungry. Yester- day morning about 9 o'clock I had a 10- cent lunch and have not had even a piece of bread since. Last night I was locked in a cell where there were drunken men and women screaming all night. Judge, your honor, it’s bad enough to be punished by hunger without being tortured in this way.” said Judge Kimball, “it’s against “But,” the law to beg on the street.” “Wheat was I to do?” the man asked. “It was beg for something to eat or some- thing worse, and so I begged. “Where have you been sleeping?’ the judge inquired. “In a cheap lodging house on B street. nd where did you get your meals? “At the mission and in a dining room rear the mission.” The young man explained that he had money when he arrived here, but sald he had spent it. He expects to receive a few dollars from his father in a day or two and Judge Kimball told him he would send him down for two days, where he would get a place to sleep and something to eat, and advised him to start toward home when he hears from father. eas aS The Chilean Mining Exposition.

Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, KAN., Jan. 22, 1804. During the past two weeks a great deal of political wire-pulling has been going on in Kancas. Seats in the United States Sen- ate and Congress have entered into these deals and republicans, populists aml demo- crats have taken a 2and in fixing matiers. Leaders of all parties have gathered at the state capital to discuss the situation, while prominent Kansans at Washingtun have written to frizads here ta ivok after their interests. Two months ago anoth2r fusion between the democrats and populists In Kansus wus considered out of the question. ‘Today it seems a settled fact that they will get to- gether on state and congressional tickets. The drift of sentiment in both parties is in that direction, and to defeat it will require the earnest effort of Mrs. Lease and her middle-of-the-road populist friends, The facts are that her determined fight against the fusicn idea led to her removal from the board of charities. Since she was egged in Macon, Ga., in 1892, when she and Gen. Weaver were stumping that state, she has had no use for democrats and she has not hesitated to say so. This greatly displeased Gov. Lewelling, who realizes that without the democratic support in Kansas the popu- list party cannot win. He was, therefore, compelled to remove her, and it was iargely at the dictates of democrats. Mrs. Lease 1s aware of this and does not hesitate to tu- form her brethren of the true situation. Gov. Lewelling After the Senatorship. Since Mrs. Lease has turned her batteries on the state administration Gov. Lewelling and his friends realize that his renomina- tion is an impossibility and are, therefore, looking around for an easy place to light. ‘The governor is loath to quit and feels that two years in office is not enough. After looking the ground over, ‘he has decided to enter the race for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Martin, whose term ex- pires in. March, 1895. This is in accordance with the plans formulated here several days ago. At the conference referred to prominent democrats and populists were present. While the democrats admitted that they could do nothing by themselves, they im- Pressed the fact upon the populists that they could not win without them. Both ‘ties agreed that another combine might jefeat the republicans, while a divided fight would mean certain defeat to them. It was agreed that the democrats should have the governor and three members of Congress. The populists would take the balance of the state ticket and four members of Congress. Gov. Lewelling is to give this deal the full strength and support of his administration and the democrats and populists are to unite on him for United States Senator. This of course, leaves out Senator Martin, but his re-election has never been seriously con- sidered. The feeling prevails in Kansas that he is neither populist or democrat, and, therefore, he is not regarded as a factor in the next ‘senatorial fight. The Straight-Out It will be impossible to control the entire membership in the two parties. There is an element in the populist party that will decline to be bound by the acts of the lead- ers, and it will number many thousands. The probability is that another ticket of straight populists would be placed in the fieid. Then there is an element of stalwart democrats that wouid fight the fusion eal, but this number would be limited to a few thousaud. In Kansas it is considered good democratic polities to fight republicans, and democrats are not particular as to the meth- ods used. It is the judgment of far-secing politicians in all parties that three fourths of the membership of the democratic and populist parties will vote a fusion ticket on sition that anything is pre- ferable to republican rule in Kansas again. Republican Ca: ten. Another republican candidaie for United States Senator has some upon the surface, It is ex-Congressman and ex-Minister to Mexico Thomas Ryan. When Ryan re- turned from Mexico he went to Washington and opened a law office. Recently he an- | nounced that he intenJed to return to To- peka and practice iaw, an] accordingly opened an office. ‘His friends say he is the natural candidate of the party, and that he will be strong because he has in the state during the and has therefore not up in the factional broils and strifes within the party. On the other hand, the | friends of J. R. Burton, J. B. Johnson, J. W. Ady and B. W. Perkins will resent the attempt of Ryan to slip into the Senate und will combine against him if his candidacy becomes dangerous. Chief Justice Horton is also mentioned as a possibility, but this is regarded more as a stab at Ingalls than anything else. Horton and Ingalls cordially hate each other, and for the former to think of going to the Senate would be considered a personal affront by the ex-Senator. Ex-Congressman E. N. Morrill, who is now the leading candidate for governor on the republican ticket, has a senatorial string to his boom. He, however, is not looking for senatorial honors until 1897, when Sen. ator Peffer’s time expires. Maj. Morrill wants to serve one term as governor and then wind up his official life in the United States Senate. This will also interfere with Mr. Ingalls’ plans, as he long since served notice on the people of Kansas that he would take care of Mr. Peffer in 1897. ae MR. DOOLAN’S LICENSE REVOKED. He Was Charged With Doing Mischief to the C. A. C. Steam Plant. If Mr. H. J. Doolan desires to follow his calling of steam engineer he will have to leave Washington, for he cannot get a li- cense to work here. The story of Mr. Doclan’s trouble dates from the time he had some words with a member of the Columbia Athletic Club and drew a pistol on him. The next day he was dismissed, the dismissal to take effect the following day. When the new engineer came on duty he found the steam piant in a rather mixed condition, according to a report made at the District buildings. “The bleed pipe from the hot water tank had been jammed shut, and the valves from the steam trap had also been jammed shut, so much so that they had to use a wrench to open them in both instances. Furthermore, a piece of coke had been placed under the water valve in the pump, and one of the springs in the valve was broken. They also found that the wire leading from the steam valve on the pump to float in the tank at the top of the house had been cut, so that it could not operate to start and stop the pump as the tank was emptied and filled. The wires connecting the automatic gas lighters in the gymnasium with a battery and with the earth were also cut. The drain in the area near the coal bin was stopped up so that the first rainy night thereafter the water backed up so that there was over six inches in the bin.” These facts were reported to the board of examirers of steam engineers, and today it recommended that Mr. Doolan’s license as a steam engineer be revoked and he be de- barred from following steam engineering in_ the District of Columbia. The Commissioners approved the recom- mendation and Mr. Doolan is without a li- State Department that the | cense. ~~ Mr. Phelps’ Big Texas Ranch. The suit of William Walter Phelps against Sam Lazarus, involving the rental for graz- ing purposes of 176,000 acres of land in Tex- as, was argued yestexday in the Supreme Court of the United States. The case comes up on an appeal from the circuit court for the northern district of Tex which ren- dered a judgment against Mr. Lazarus of $8,417 for the rental of Mr. Phelps’ lands for two and a half years. The question as to whether a land owner in Texas must fence against the trespassing of the cattle or the owners of the cattle must confine them to their own territory enters largely into the case.

A case of general interest was decided | yesterday at Annapolis, in which the court | upholds the validity of the law against Sab- bath breaking. The opinion was written by Judge Boyd. It quashes the writ of error | | to the circuit court for Kent county in the | case of John W. Judefind. Judefind was arrested under a warrant is- sued by a justice of the peace for husking | corn on Sunday.. He was tried, convicted | and fined $5 and costs in accordance with | article 27, section 247, of the code of public general laws, prohibiting work on Sunday. He appealed to the ci>cuit court, where he elected to be tried before the court, and was again convicted and fined $5 and costs. The case was taken to the court of appeals by petition in the nature of a writ of error, in which it was alleged that the law under which Judefind was convicted is void be- cause it is in violation both of the first paragraph of article 14 of the Constitution of the United States and of article 36 of the | bill of rights, and that the circuit court had no jurisdiction to try and convict Judefind, since the justice of the peace had no juris- diction. Attorney General Poe, on behalf of the state, moved to quash the writ of error on the ground that no writ of ersor lies to the court of appeals from the decision of the circuit court on an appeal to it from the Judgment of a justice of the peace. The opinion says: “That motion must pre- vail, as it is well settled in this state that | when the circuit court has jurisdiction to | hear and decide an appeal from a justice of | the peace its décision is final. If Judefind | desired to contest the constitutionality of | the law under which he was arrested, and have that question properly presented for | the consideration of this court, he could have applied for the writ of certiorari upon | the specific ground of the unconstitutional- | ity of the law and the consequent want of | power and jurisdiction of the justice of the Peace to p>oceed under it.” Although deciding the case on the one point, the Sundaw law tn question is dis. cussed in the opinion, which says the court “hes not the slightest hesitation an- nouncing that the law complained of is not | in conflict with the Constitution of the | United States or of Maryland. There may j be some circumsiances under which it | would be deemed harsh and severe to pun- | tah a man for husking corn on Sanday, but if he defies the laws of the state or makes himself obnoxious to those desiring the | quiet and peace of this day of rest,he should |expect the machinery of the law to be put jin motion.

Mr. William Morey, jr., lectured last night at Metzerott Halli on Ceylon. It was his second lecture. An attentive audience was present, frequently interrupting the speaker with applause. The lecturer went into the history of the island and of its people. He described the great advances which the country had made, and the good fruits which hed been born of the efforts of Christian missiona- ries. Mr. Morey does not like to have the religion of his fathers hit too hard, but he likes to extol Christianity and tell of the way he was converted from his heathentsm to the religion of Christ. His lecture was strictly an educational one, and gave they went home.
