Judgment was yesterday entered before Justice L. I. O'Neal in favor of the plain- i in the suit of Dr. Wm. G. Schafhirt vs. Daniel 8. Lamont, Secretary of War. The action arose from the accident to Dr. Schafhirt at the riding academy in ch, 1893, which resulted in the loss of left foot. Secretary Lamont was sued @8 one of the underwriters of “The Guur- a@ntee Accident Lloyd” of New York, in which the plaintiff was insured.

Conrer, jr., chairman of Wash- ington Christian Endeavor transportation committee, has just returned from a trip to Cleveland, Ohio, where he went to make arrangements for the entertainment of the delegates from the District of Columbia to the international C. E. convention, to be held in that city next July. He was ac- companied and assisted by Mr. W. H. H. Smith, chairman of preliminary committee, Washington, ‘96. They are enthusiastic over the arrange- ments already made by the Cleveland com- mittee for the comfort of the delegates to the convention, and for the success of its (BOOMING THIS CIY FOR 1896 of New York and granddaughter of W. C. | man, and since his retirement from busi- meetings, and are confident that this con- | vention will fall behind none previously held and in some respects bids fair to out- strip them all. The arrangements made to assign each delegation to some particular church is a very pleasant feature. The church edifice will be used as headquarters and rallying | point for the delegation, and the delegates will be entertained in the hoines of the members of that particular congregation. In this way our young people absent from home will be assured a warm home wel- come and a delightful sojourn in places of unquestioned respectability. The Washington committee asked for quarters for 300 persons and nas been pe- j¢uliarly favored in being assigned to the Epiphany Reformed Episcoval Church, on the corner of the famous Euclid avenue and Glen Park place. This church is one of the handsomest of modern stone structures on that avenue, in the midst of some of the finest resi- dences, in one of the most attractive por- tions of a city of handsome homes and fine church bulldings. Here is to be the home of our young endeavorers during the five days of the convention. ‘The Convention Hall. Convention Hall will be reached by a five-minute ride on the Euclid avenue elec- trie cars and a ten-minute walk. A cross- town line is promised, and, if completed, will take the delegates to the door of the hall. The great tent will be but a block from the point where the delegates will leave the electric cars. The committee also secured headquarters for the officers of the Union at the Stillman House, where the United Society officers and trustees are to be located, but this, as well as the other hotels, are at a much greater distance from the hall, and entirely inadequate to accom- modate the more than 30,000 which are ex- pected at the convention. The combined hotel capacity is only about 5,000. The Washington committee were met upon arrival at the Stillman House by Mr. Cody, one of the entertainment committee, and weret aken out to inspect the hall, cor- ner of Willson and Scovill avenues, where the convention is to be held. This hall is to seat 10,000 persons in such position that the speakers will easily be seen and heard by every delegate. Its acoustics, as tested by our committee, are well-nigh perfect. and the difficulties of previous con- ventions of hearing moderate-voiced speake-s in remote parts of the hall will here be obviated. A large tent is also to be provided, some five or six blocks away, with | a seating capacity of 14,000, and a music hall, with seating capacity of 5,000, is to be utilized, if found necessary. The auditorium of the hall is upon the ground floor, with numerous exits. In this connection it may be stated that the singing at one of these great meeting | sd will be conducted by M>. Percy 8S. ‘oster, who so recently has demonstrated his ability In that line in connection with the Moody chorus choir. Delegates are to be supplied with a unique “souvenir badge,” consisting of a little diamond-shaped book- let of twelve pages, containing views of points of interest in the city, inclosed in celluloid covers, secured with ribbon and pin. They will also be furnished a two- color map of Cleveland, designating meeting places, state headquarters, hotels, buildings, parks, etc. mittee also promise “salubrious breezes off Lake Erle to fan the fevered brow on the warm summer day.” The Washington committee were courte- ously invited to meet with the Cleveland "94 committee, and spent a most delizhtful evening with them in the chapel cf the Euclid Avenue Disciple Church, of whica Rev. J. Z. Tyler, the chairman of the Cleveland committee, is pastor. Active Work Here, Now that the extra services of the Moody meetings are over, the Washington pre- liminary committee will begin a series of mass meetings in different parts of this city to boom the interests of the excursion of Endeavorers from this city to the Cleve- land convention, July 11-15, and to further stimulate the enthusiasm in the efforts to secure the great convention for Wash- ington in 1896. The first of these me#tings will be held the latter part of this month, Probably on Monday evening, March mittee, has consented to speak conc2rning this convention.

Although there have been no open iemon- strations, within the last six weeks, of the work which is in hand looking towards the securing of the C. E. convention of 1896, that work has nevertheless been vigor- ously prosecuted. A detailed plan of campaign has been mapped out, and the work incident to it is being enthusiastically carried on. Reso- jutions indorsing the movement have be: transmitted to pastors and Christian En- deavor Societies and have been signed py them and returned to the chairman of ‘he committee on invitation, Mr. W Robison. intend to secure the signatures of thousand business and professional men in this city pledging their support ani co- operation has been put in circulation. All who have as yet been approached have signified their entire willingness to go on record as being heartily in sympathy with the movement.

Under the acts creating the metropoli- tan police authority is given the Commis- sioners to grant pensions to such members of the force as may become incapacitated for duty and for long and faithful service, and this authority includes the widows and children of the officers, who are incapable of earning a living. This fund has here- tofore been kept up by the fines and penal- ties on members of the force, a tax of $1 per month on the members and the pro- ceeds of sales of abandoned property, but just now the fund is within a very’ few dollars of being empty.

A WELL-KNOWN MAN. Death of Mr. David Kin; Prominent Figure in Fashionable Life. David King, who died at his residence, No. 1228 Connecticut avenue, Thursday afternoon, as stated in The Star, was a prominent figure in fashionable life in Washington and Newport, R. I. He was fifty-five years of age and a native cf the latter city. His father, Dr. King, was a distinguished citizen of Rhode Island, and the family has for over a century been identified with that state. When about twenty years of age Mr. King went to China as supercargo of a sailing vessel in the employ of Jardine, Madison & Co. This was in the carly days when the China-New England trade stil existed, and it was customary for many of the younger sons of New England families to start out in the search of fortuae in that manner. Mr. King entered into the employ of Messrs. Jardine, Madison & Co. as a clerk, and rose rapidly to a position of responsibility. He afterward embarked in business for himself, and was eminently successful, returning home after thirteen years’ absence, having amassed a fortune. je married and then returned to China, and in all spent about twenty years in Hong Kong and on the China coast. Mis first wife died in China. On retiring from business Mr. King married, as his second wife, Miss Rives, daughter of F. R. Rives Rives, who was United States minister to France. Mrs. King is also a cousin of Amelie Rives, the authoress. Mr. King leaves a widow, a and daughter to mourn his loss. He was an affable gentle | ness has been an active club man. He was a member of many American and European clubs, was a life governor of the Knicker- bocker Club of New York, and had been a member of the board of governors of the Metropolitan Club of this city. He was, in 1889, United States commissioner to the world’s fair in Parts. With Mr. King about the last of the representatives and bene- ficiaries of the old clipper ship trade be- tween New England and China has passed away. His business career, though com- paratively short, was an extremely active one, and the business advice of no man in ultra-fashionable life was more sought after than that of Mr. Kin; a OLD GUARD FAIR AND BAZAAR.

IN MUSICAL CIRCLES The Coming Concert of Pattiat Convention Hall. More Juvenile Opera to Be Given— The Choral Society's Next Concert—Notes. The musical event of next week, and, in fact, all things considered, the most inter- esting musical event in many years, will be the Patti concert that will take place at Convention Hall on Tuesday evening. It will be the first time that Patt! has sung in this city to anything like popular prices It has been asserted by managers that the reason why the best attractions, whether musical or dramatic, came high in this city Was because there was no hall or theater sufficiently large to accommodate an audi- ence that would be remunerative at reason- able prices. So far as musical attractions are concerned, that claim can no longer hold good, for Convention Hall can hold an audience of over six thousand, and that cer- tainly admits of moderate rates of admis- sion. Mr. Marcus Mayer, who has man- aged Mme. Patti's tour, determined that he would place her this time in a hall suffi- eiently large to allow those who had hersto- fore been unable to hear the great diva an Opportunity to listen to her wonderful voice and perfect method. That this class has taken advantage of this opportunity is manifested by the appearnce of the box sheet, and the indications are that Mme. Patti will sing before an immense audience on Tuesday night. The supporting company will be the same as she brought at her last concert, consisting of Mile. Fabbri, contralto; Miss Engel, mezzo-soprano; Mr. Lely, tenor: Sig. Galassi, baritone; Sig.Novara, bass, and Sig. Mascheroni, accompanist and stage di- rector. There will be a large orchestra, under the control of the veteran Arditi, € program will consist of a first part of concert numbers, and then the second act of “Martha,” with Mme. Patti in the title role. Seats are being rapidly reserved at Metzerott’s music store. new musical organization, which will be known as the “Lyric Quartet,” kas been organized by Mrs. Harriet Mills and will be heard for the first time at the inusicale given by the Capital Bicycle Club on the 16th instant. The gentlemen are already well known in local mustcal circles, and the | combination is said to be an exceptionally good one as to blending of voices, ete., and Judging from other successes achieved un- der the directorship of Mrs. Mills, a bright future awaits this new organization. ‘The quartet is composed of Mr. Eugene Stevens, second bass; Mr. Charles Skerrett, second tenor; Mr. Charles Roberts, first bass, and Dr. Malcolm Cudlipp, first tenor.

As Gioconda, Mlle. Rhea pre-| sents a study peculiarly her own, and! throughout her performance ts distinguished by a forcible, exclamatory delivery for which she has always been noted. Rhea is supported by a company of exceptional strength,: including Mr. W. 8S. Hart, who plays “Homodel the Hunchback” with’ great power and unction.

Of all these | foreign lands none is likely to prove more | interesting than the latest of eastern em- Senators Hawley, Gordon, Peffer, Gray, Voorhees, Representatives Soutelle, Gros- yenor, Sickles and Curtis. The G. A. R. Musical Union will be present and render some of their choice selections. The Kit Carson Drum Corps will open with the assembly and sound the army calls. Ever since the first meeting of the ex- ecutive committee the interest in th: en- terprise has been steadily on the Increase. The committee has been in receipt of a large number of donations of vainable arti- cles, not only from friends abroai, but from the many merchants of the city, who have thus shown their interest and good feeling toward the organization. The comrades comprising the Old Guard have upon every occasion maaifested their interest in the capital city of the nation by representing it at the various national encampments of the G. A.

The National Sanitary Company is ex- |periencing some difficulty in its efforts to |get rid of the garbage, and Health Officer |Hammett is somewhat exercised over the [matter as the warm weather will soon be |here and then there may be trouble. Since | the destruction of the garbage plant by fire the city’s refuse has been taken down the ‘river and disposed of. But it now appears that the farm: living along the line of the river object to receiving the garbage and the shore has been patrolled at night | to prevent the landing of the scows. It re- cently came to the knowledge of Dr. Ham- mett that garbage and dead animals had been seen piled on the shores and it was thought that the garbage had been dumped | in the river from the scows. Three days ago Chief Clerk Tracy and) Sanitary Inspector Shepherd went down the river on the police boat Joe Biackburn, | but they failed to see the dead animals | |and garbage along the shore. | In conversation with a Star reporter Dr. Hammett said he felt anxious about th: garbage question. Garbage, he said, au nuisance in any form and the only proper | way to dispose of it is to incinerate it. He thought the same should be done with the | night soil. | He eaid he did not know whether the Sanitary Company would attempt to re- (build their plant or not; that he had been | i | pany’s intentions. Dr. Hammett thinks that something defi- | nite should be done before the summer) time. —_——->—— Fined Him Anyway. George Kreamer, a White House guide, | who was under the influence of Nquor yes- | | terday afternoon, stopped at the corner of 14th street and Pennsylvania avenue, where a party of colored men were engeyed in repairing the concrete pavement. The guide went out in the street and minsled with the colored workmen and got in their way. Several of the men were good natured! enough to treat him in a playful manner, but when he met Benjamin Ford the latter did not care to be bothered with hima, ard; in his effort to get rid of the suide the lat- | ter went to the concrete pavement on his face, and fell as though life had left Kis body. The concrete took a plece of flesh from his face and left a scar that will dis- figure him for some time. The a*air caus- ed some excitement for a few mtoutes, and a large crowd soon collected. Policeman Sutton arrested Ford, who was released on | $10 collateral. The case was heard in Judge Miiler’s court this morning. For the prosecution | it was shown that Ferd dealt Kraemer a | stunning blow on the face, hut several of | the hard-working colored men told an en-| tirely different story. They said that) Kraemer was there in their way and that} Ford pushed him aside and he fell down.

Views of Irish Leaders in New York on Home Rule Prospects. The prominent Irishmen in New York city are anxiously discussing the manifesto of John E. Redmond, M. P., leader of the Parneilite party, as published in The Star yesterday. There is no disguising the fact that the feud which exists between the Parnellites and the anti-Parneilites in this country is | Kept up to a boiling point between the fac- tions. An Associated Press reporter saw several gentlemen and interviewed them on the present aspect of the British political situa- ton. Believes in the Liberals. Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet, who is the president of the Irish National Federation, said: “Notwithstanding ail that is said in the manifesto of the so-called Parneilites, and, by the way, there are only a handful, I can say that there is no doubt in my mind as to the intentions of the liberal party us far as home rule for Ireland is concerned. Mr. Gladstone, in giving his pledge to see a measure of home rule granted to Ireland, pledged the whole liberal party, and Lord Rosebery will surely follow up the grand old man’s pledge. “If this is not done the Irish party has the balance of power in its hands and it will use Rosebery the same as it did Giad- stone. If it cannot get a fair showing from the new cabinet, it is safe to say that the irish members’ weight will be thrown to the political side which will offer the better remedial measures for the Irish people. “If the Irish representatives were united, there is no power short of the Almighty God which could keep them from getiing their just demands. “As to the rumor that there is a disrup- | don in the McCarthy party, I must say it |is all false, for if such were the case, I and Mr. McCarthy has, as far as I know, |no mistrust in the intentions of the liberals under the leadership of Lord Rosebery, as far as Ireland's interests are concerned.” Approves of the Manifesto. Mr. Edward O'Flaherty, the president of the Irish parliamentary party, strongly ap- proved of the manifesto issued by John E. Redmond. “The Irish people, both here and et home, are,” said he, “heartily sick of the way in which the McCarthyites treated the Irish question. They betrayed Parnell at Gladstone's request, they have ; Since allowed the present government to exterminate the rackrented tenants of Ire- land,they have refused to compel the govern- ment to release the Irish and Irish-Amert. can political prisoners,they have by their si- lence approved of coercion courts and star chamber inquiries, and now they stand be- fore the world discredited and disgraced. Their sole occupation has been fighting be- tween themselves for the leadership of the party, and the squabbles between T. 4 Healy, John- Dillon, William O’Brien and Thomas Sexton have earned the disgust of every one. They betrayed Parnell for Glad- stone. Gladstone has now thrown them overboard and they are helpless. They must go with the English whip, no matter how they must act with regard to Ireland.” —_——__+e+__ The Jeunesse Silk. Jeunesse silk, which has made its appear- ance simultar-eously in Paris and this coun- try, bids fair to be extremely popular in both continents. The attractiveness of the material is said to consist in a checkered crimped effect as it it had been accordion plaited cross ways of the goods and then given a length ways crimping in very tny squares. The crimp, however, is much finer than accordion plaitings, an@ is done in weaving. It is substantial and can be used for dresses for the house or street, even for summer in the country, for capes and fichus, and especially adapted to making large puff sleeves. Silk blouses, with lace or embroidered yoke and deep cuffs, are made of it. It ruffies or forms a Jabot with equal ease, and the quaintest dresses for litle girls are made from it. The shades of pink that run from a pale seashell hue to deep eminence are freely bought now to make summer dancing gowns, or blouses, or simple evening dress es, or those designed for piazza wear. ——<$< Quarantining Southern Cattle.

Purify Your Blood ‘The blood is the life, and pure blood is necessary in order to have good health. Medical science has demonstrated that many diseases, like scrofula, rheumatism and catarrh, which were formerly treated with local applications, are caused by an impure or an impoverished condition of the biood. | ‘This is the chief reason for the great success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla In curing these diseages. It acts directly upon the blood and thus removes the cause. This, too, is why the curcs effected by Hood's Sarsaparilla are Permanent.
