There was an entertainmeat given in South Washington last cvening by the members of Mount Sinai J.olge, No. 19, Grand United Order of Chaldeans, for the purpose of raising a few dollars to assist the sick and poor members of the lodge. ‘The committee in charge askei for a per- mit, but the permit was refused, and Wm. A. Coleman, chairman of the committee, deposited $5 collateral at the police station, Giving an unlicensed entertainment was the charge against him when he appeared | in the Police Court this moraing. Coleman told Judge Miller of the reason for giving the entertainment and of the} refusal of the authorities to give a permit. | Judge Miller said that the entertainment | should have been abandoned when the per- mit was refused. “All the informations had been sent out,” | said Coleman, “and we thougit we could! get a few dollars tn the treasury and help the sick and suffering ones of the Indge. Times have been hard this winter, and a number of names are on -he sick list.” | Under the circumstances, the permit hav- | ing been refused, the judge said he would | have to Impose a fine of $5. ‘ Coleman paid the fine, and the sick mém- bers’ rations will fall short the amount of the penalty. ee First Baptist Church's Special Service The First Baptist Church, on 16th street above Scott Circle, Rev.

PARNELLITES DENCONCE HIS POLICY The Comments of the London Dailies. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS LONDON, March 13.—Lord Rosebery’s statement that England must be convinced of the justice of Irish home rule, while causing great excitement in both sections of the Irish parliamentary party, has greatly excited all sections of the conserva- tive party, and is hailed with delight by the conservative papers, who seem to re- gard it as a settled fact that home rule will be indefinitely shunted, Lord Rosebery’s exact language in the house of lords was as follows: “Lord Salisbury made one remark on the subject of home rule with which I confess myself in entire accord. He said that be- fore Irish home rule could be conceded by the imperial parliament HMngland, as the predominant member of the partnership of | the three kingdoms, must be convinced of its justice. This seems to be a consider- able admission, because your lordship weil knows that the majority of English mem- bers elected in Engiand proper are hostile to home rule. The Times says: “The prime minister's admission that England must be convinced of the justice of Irish home rule fairly takes our breath away. It is the argu- ment we have used from the very beginning of the controversy, and carries with it an emphatic condemnation of the proceedings of the party which forced the home rule bill through the house of commons by Irish votes against a great majority of the votes of the English representatives. It reduces to the rankest absurdity the pretense of | the agitation against the house of lords for interfering to protect what Lord Rosebery has thus acknowledged to be the right of the English electors. In the presence of this momentous declaration all the rest of the verbiage wrapped around the political position of the ministry is merely wasted. There is a ma- jority of seventy against Irish home rule among the English members of the hot or commons. The bye-elections have shown no weakening of this sentiment, but rather the contrary. If Mr. Gladstone's fiery energy and passionate conviction failed to win the English people two years ago to the bellef that home rule was consistent with national safety, national interest and national honor, are they likely to be pur- sued by Lord Rosebery’s half-hearted argu- ments, drawn from ambiguous evidence of a decline of disorder in Ireland? All other considerations are dwarfed by the revolu- tionary effect of Lord Kosebery’s admission, It must produce the gravest consequences directly its significance is perceived. What will Mr. Gladstone think of this? How will the Irish separatist deal with it? if Mr. Gladstone had not retired we might almost expect him to hasten back and move a vote of want of confidence in his successor.” Comment on the Other Side. The Standard declares that Lord Kose- bery’s statement has caused great excite- ment in both sections of the trish parila- mentary party. The government, It says, will be questioned on the subject. The Standard also says: Lord Kosebery appeared without ambiguity or hesitation as the leader of extreme radicalism. He takes over not only Mr. Gladstone's posi- tion, but all the pledges and promsies to which Mr. Gladstone was committed. Kose- beryism is but Gladstonianism were 1t neither larger nor smaller. It will be re- marked that Lord Rosebery referred to tne! ex-premier as “our leader who remains our leader whenever he cares to lead us.” it may therefore be surmised that the right of re-entry has been reserved for the purpose of furthering Mr. Gladstone's one absorbing ambition. The only difference between the two men is that Mr. Gladstone could not wait, while Lord Rosebery can. The Chronicle in an editorfal say: Rosebery’s appearance as leader been an unguestionable success. Nothing can be better than his attitude toward the house of lords, while he has given the home rule question the stimulant it needs; his speech brings us nearer to the goal than ever Mr. Gladstone’s appeals to ideal considerations. It is the best omen for the future of the party, whose fate, we are convinced, is com- | mitted to strong shaping hands. ‘The Dally News says: The uniter of the Mberal party, which ‘some liberals feared, and all tories hoped Mr. Gladstone's retire- ment would destroy, is now as firm as ever. The result of yesterday’s proceedings will be to put new heart of hope into the party. Lord Rosebery’s speech in the house of lords was one of the most spirited IHberal manifestos that was ewer addressed to the peers, and will be regarded as the first warning of thelr fate. Denounced by the Parnellites. ‘The Parnellites openly denounce the at- | titude of Lord Rosebery, and there is much soreness among the members of the Mc- Carthyite section of the Irish parliamentary party. The Globe, this afternoon, says that it is not surprised to learn that there is a grievous searching of conscience among the Mc- Carthyites, who, according to the same pa- per, will doubtless strain every nerve in an endeavor to provide &n excuse. Continuing, the Globe says: “But there is not one among them who does not see that Lord Rosebery has practically overthrown home rule.” All the conservative afternoon papars ex- press similar views, and the general opinion is that a general election is near. YORK HOLDS A LEVEE. Reception of the Young Son of the Prince of Wales. LONDON, March 13.—The Duke of York today held a levee at St. James’ palace, by command of the queen and in the ab- sence of the Prince of Wales. This is the first time that the young prin2e has under- taken such a function. There was a large attendance of naval officers, who were pay- ing their respects to the prince, who had so long been one of their number. In order | to enable the naval officers to be present, general leave of absence from their ships was given to the officers in home waters, and, as a result, the number of them pres- ent at the levee was double the number of the representatives of the army, Who were present upon this occasion, Another feature of the attendance was the presence, for the first time at a full | state function, of the Rosebery cabinet. England’s Trade Improving. LONDON, March 13.—The president of the board of trade, the Right Hon. A. J. Mundella, at the annual meeting of the as- sociated chambers of commerce today, said that there was a steady ind improving trade; but, while England's customers abroad faced monetary troubles and were groaning under heavy taxation, there was little prospect of @ large increase of trade. Ellauri Refuses to Serve. TEVIDEO, Uruguay, March 13.—Dr, Ellauri, the administration candidate fer the presidency, has definitely withdrawn his acceptance of the presidency in view of the narrowness of the majority in his fa- vor. The decision of Dr. Ellauri nas creat- ed a good impression. Messages for Rio.

The Anglo-American Telegraph Com- pany has also sent out a notice that cables for Rio de Janeiro can only be accepted at the sender's risk. Fodisilah’s Capture Reported.

Lord | THE MIDWAY PLAISANCE 25,000 Persons Fooled by the Blarney Stone. It Was a Common Limestone Paving Block Dug Up From a Chicago Street, An interesting aftermath of the gay Mid- way Plaisance at the world’s fair is con- tained in the report to the Treasury De- partment just made by Collector of Cus- toms Clark. This part of the great expo- sition was under the direct charge of Dep- uty Collector J. E. Ralph, who makes pub- Me some curious facts as to how the peo- ple were fooled by the so-called ‘Blarney stone,” throws out a warning about the growth of the hasheesh habit, and inci- dentally refers to various tricks of the for- | eign fakirs to draw out the money of the | Sullible Americans, Mr. Ralph says: “At the opening of the Irish village there | Was one essential thing lacking to make | the ‘Blarney castle's’ counterpart of the original structure in Ireland, and that was the ‘Blarney stone.’ The manager, desirous of endowing the visitors with an opportun- ity for becoming famous spouters, took in- to his confidence James Riley, a contractor, and requested that he produce a ‘Blarney Se Mr. Riley secured the services of {Charles Thompson, an employe of the vil- lage, and these two men, on a dark night |in’ June, repaired to the corner of Sith , Street and Portland avenue in the city of Chicago, and there dug from the street a | Mme-stone paving block about 18 inches by 8 inches by 10 inches in dimensions. They | carried it to the village and placed it in a ; case which had been received that day in bond—Case No. 97, serial 4,099—addressed to Thomas Baker, Irish Industrial Village. This case contained a model of “The Belis |of Shandon.’ Invitations were issued to the representatives of the Chicago papers and to Mayor Harrison, the latter accept- ing the invitation to officiate at the open- ing of the case containing the famous ‘Blarney stone.’ Formally Opened. “On the day set aside for the ceremonies Mayor Harrison could not be present, and Customs Inspector E. W. Matlock was sent for to open the case. ‘The inspector arrived with the invoice for case No. Yi, serial 4,0U¥, which stated that the case contained @ ‘model of the ‘Bells of Shandon,” valued at $25. He opened the case and tound it check- ed ‘One stone over.’ After properly labeling both model and stone, he made his return on the invoice: ‘One stone over, estimated value $500.’ ‘Chis stone was then placed in the walls of the castle, where it remained during the balance of the fair, and was kiss- | ed by at least 25,000 people, a fee of 10 cents ‘apiece being charged. At the close of the fair the manager of the village desired to take the stone and exhibit it in a store in the city of Chicago, but was informed that he could not do so unless he made a con- sumption entry on same and paid the duty, This was done, and on November 24, 188, 1 delivered the stone on a duty-paid permit. Both the inspector in charge of the village and myself remained in ignorance of the history of the ‘Blarney stone’ until January 23, 1804, believing up to that time that It was imported in ‘Case No. Vi, serial 4,00." The invoice on which consumption entry was paid read as follows: ‘One piece of stone from Blarney, County Cork, Ireland, value $500." * Treasury Profits. In another part of the report Mr. Ralph says: “There were consumed in the German village and ‘Old Vinenna 5,000 cases of tm- ported wine and 6,000 kegs of beer, and 100 cases of merchandise, for all of which con- sumption entry was made in the city. Hence, you will sce that the Midway Plal- sance was a large source of revenue for the Treasury Department. Goods received and accepted as exhibits in the Midway com- prised every known variety of merchandise, comprising wild and domestic animals, an- tiquities, rugs, jewelry, fancy embroideries, bric-a-brac, works of art in statuary and paintings. “In addition to con2essionaries there were 1,650 foreigners who took part in the concessions, as natives, salesmen, or musicians. It has been estimated by fev- | eral of the most important concessionaries | that over §7,000,000 was spent by the public | in the attractions of the Midway. Nearly | if not all of the exhibitors in Midway were loud_in their condemnation of the existing tariffs on woolea goods, rugs and manu- factured glass. The largest consumer of foreign goods was Robert Levy, concession- ary of the Turkish village, who at the close of the fair received over $10,000 refund for goods re-exported. The second largest was the Irish Industrial Association, of which the Countess of Aberdeen was concesston- ary. This village has opened a large store in the city of Chicago, and promises to be a large factor in the importation of Irish woolens, laces and jewelry. To sone cne connected with this village should be cred- ited one of the greatest jokes ever perpe- trated on the customs force, if not on the public.” eee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A Protest. A number of property owners on Florida avenue northwest have combined in a peti- tion to the Commissioners against the pas- sage of House bill 5577, to incorporate the Boundary and National Park Elevated Railway Company, and also the bill incor- Porating the Washington, Burnt Mills and Sandy Spring Railway Company. The peti- tion sets forth: “We urge several potent objections to the aid bills, among which may be named the total absence of any need for such roads; the great depreciation of property values, and detraction from the beauty of each and. every street or thoroughfare along which sald roads are to run; and we also | object to the chartering of any further 7th and North Capitol streets north, in view of the fact that said street is already occupied by a surface road, i.e., the Rock Creek electric railroad, which at present, though extending eastward along sald street only as far as 7th street, possesses the right to extend its line along said Florida avenue as far as North Capitol street, which it will no doubt do in the near future. Plank Walks. The Commissioners have notified the Rock Creek Railroad Company that it must lay plank walks between its tracks at the cross- irgs of Grant, Chapel and Pierce's Mill roi Inspecting Lumber. The Commissioners today transmitted to Congress a draft of a bill authorizing them to make and enforce regulations relative to the inspection and measurement of lumber. The bill authorizes the Commissioners to make and enforce regulations which shall apply to the inspection and measurement of lumber brought into the District to be sold, and also to appoint as many inspectors as they shall deem necessary, with power to define their duties and fix their compensa- tion. In a letter accompanying the bill the Commissioners say the principal reason tor asking for the enactment of this bill is that under the present law on the subject the lumber sellers can employ any person they want to inspect and measure their lumber, and the inspection of such an officer may be entirely in their interest...The law on the subject is very incomplete. Sains ass THE CORNELL BANQUET TRAGEDY. It is Being Investigated by a Grand ‘Jury. Judge Forbes made his charge to the grand jury at Ithaca, N. Y., yesterday. | After outlining their general duties, he re- | ferred to the recent Cornell University | freshman banquet tragedy. He said he deeply regretted that he had to make spec- ial mention of the unfortunate sccurrence in his charge. The university ought not be held responsible for the crime, but Cor- nell and other universities and colle: | ought to make strict rules for the punish- | ment of hazing and similar breaches of the peace. If such rules were instituted and lenforced in every institute rowdyism | would be abolished. The judge further | said he did not believe that those who | caused the chlorine to be diffused about the hall deliberately premeditated taking hu- man life, and that if the jury found such to be the case, they could not indict any one for murder. District Attorney Jennings said last even- ing that he would probably bring up the | banquet casé tomorrow morning. He is of | the epinion that someone will be indicted | as @ result of the jury's deliberation. es Answer Filed, In the case of Christine G.

He, however, has served time in jail for) several cases of theft.

Lawyer Holland testified that last Thurs- day morning about 4:45 v'cluca his wife Was aroused by hearing one of the chil- dren moving, and she asked the latter, “May, what's the matter?” An instant later Mrs. Holland cried, “There's a man in the room.” Witness then jumped out of bed and grab- bed at the negro. The latt in_ turn, dealt witness a blow and knocked bit against a chair. He described the exciting scene that followed, and said he couli have shot the man on the stairwiy had his pis- tol not have been misplaced. Witness told of the arti of clothing and jewelry that had been gathered to- gether by the burglar, who escaped efter the struggle. i Lawyer Holland when questioned by the | court said that when he first saw the ma he was in a crouched position and had wit- ness’ clothes in a bundle. Witness told of his experience in investi- | gating the case. Being satisiied that there was no burglar left in the house, ne went out and found papers scattered about the roadway. He traced them as far as the reservoir,and fhere he saw what he thought was a man, It was not quite daylight, and in approaching the dark object he said “Get up." He was surprised to find that there Was not a man there, but he did find bis; (witness’) clothing, which had been slashed. ‘Witness described how the entrance to his house was made,and then told of the tracks in the yard. He was satisfied that there were three persons in the party. Ove track | was large and the others small. One of them was evidently made by 4 No. 4 or 5 shoe with a small heel, and the other was evidently made by rubber or tenais shoes. After daybreak witness sent for Detee- tive Rhodes and had him bring one of the prisoner's shoes to his house. ‘The shve, he said, fitted one of the tracks. “What about the prisoner?” the court } ed, “I'm satisfied that Hunter was the man who was in my house.” Witness. said there was a lamp burning on the landing at the time, and he got a good look at the intruder. The Judge Interested. Judge Miller, who is a victim of the mysterious “Jack,” took great interest in the case and questioned Mr. Holland at length concerning the manner in which the entrance was effected, the way in which the clothing was slashed, and the foot prints, “Are the prints there yet?” the judge asked, in a manner indicating his anxiety to see them. “The judge,” remarked Lawyer Peyton, in an undertone, “is going to play detec- ve." “I could recognize them if I were to see them,” the judge remarked. “They tally exactly with those at my house.” Counsel for the prisoner then took a hand in the examination. He said he did not discover any beard on the man’s face. “The description I gave of the man,” the} witness said, “tallies exactly with that of | Peter Hunter. His color, age and clothing tally with those I gave of the burglar.” The Identificatton, Witness was questioned concerning his identification of the prisoner. He said that when Mrs. Holland failed to identify the Prisoner he se@med very much elated, but | witness said he was not so sure, and when he resumed a stooping position she said: “He now iooks more like the man.” This caused the prisoner to become nervous. Witness thought that the burglar in hig house was a courageous man. “He could have gone through my daugh- ter’s room,” he said, “and then gone through the hall, but instead of doing that he evidently thought it was necessary for | him to disable me nrst in order to keep from getting shot.” Fitting the Shoes. Policeman Foley gave evidence concern- ing the arrest. Hunter, he said, refused to go with him at first, but afterward he said: “I'll go because they can’t do any- thing with me.” Witness said he had known Peter Hun- ter for some time and had not known him | to work for about three months. Detective Rhodes gave evidence concern- ing the investigation. He said he took the prisoner's right shoe to Mr. Holland's and fitted it in the track. The earth there, he said, is potters’ clay, and the imprint is as good as it could be) made in putty. The imprints at the house | of Col. Sprague, he said, are the same as | those at Mr. Holland's. Witness went to the prisoner’s house in Pomeroy street and learned that he oc- cupied the front room of the house. He raid he did not leave the house Wednesday night and persons in the house said the could have left the house without other persons in the house knowing of his move-| ments. Caspar Thompson, a colored lamplighter, was next called. He testified that about eight minutes before 6 o’clock Thurscay | morning he saw a colored man come out of Howard University gate and walk down Gth street. Witness was extinguishing the lights at the time. The man whom he turned off 6th street and went in the di- rection of where Hunter lives. Had a Wago ne The defendant was sworn in his own be- half and he denied the charge. He said he had a horse and wagon until about two or three months ago, when he sold the team. He then earned his living hauliag ashes. Judge Miller questioned him concerning his movements when he hauied wshes and his.knowledge of the county in the vicinity of Brightwood and Takoma. He said he had worked at Takoma, and said he had seen the hotel there. That, he saii, was four or five years ago, but he remembered seeing a big white hotel. When questioned closely by the judze the prisoner said he was not sure he saw the hotel, but he thought he had. He was never out there after dark, and he was certain that he had not been there for four or five years. Defendant sald he worked at hauling wood at Takoma, but he could not tell for whom he worked. He said he did not know where the judge lives. Judge Miller said that the hotel was commenced only about two years ago, and the wood was piled near it since that time. “Did you hear about the man who went around cutting clothes iast year?” asked the judge. “Oh, yes, sir," he responded, “and I read about him.” “You kept yourself close then?" “I had no need to keep myself close. I} was working at Holmead’s then.” ‘But you had a horse and wagon?” Yes, sir.” . “What kind of a horse?” “A sorrel horse.” “And spring wagon?” “Yes, sir.” ‘Did you have a top to the wagon” ‘0, sir; it was an open wagon. ow, Peter,” sald the judge, “tell me what you and two other men’ were doing out on the road one night last fall.” “You wrong now, judge,” suid the pris- oner. “I wasn’t out there no time like that, His Penmanrhip.

Page 9 a } “Write Mr. James L, Pugh,” he said. | “Deed, boss, I can’t write no such name | as that in all my life,” said the prisoner. | “Then,” said Mr. Pugh, “write ‘My Dear | Miss Nellie, I'll be down to see you this evening. A’ R. M.” ‘The prisoner wrote as directed, and Judge Miller wanted to know the reason for the exhibition of Peter’s penmanship. Mr. Mullowny said that “Jack the! Slasher” had left notes at some of the bouses, and he desired to compare the hand- writing. Judge Miller said that the notes were left by “Jack's” imitators and not by the original slasher. He Was He! Thtee colored girls who live in Hunter's house were called to prove an alibi for the prisoner. They said he was there as late | as 10:30 Wednesday and Me was there at 5:30 o'clock. Two other men .who live there had gone to work. They were in the kitchen and could see Peter in bed, as the room door was open. “This is all there is of the case, counsel; “the proof is before the court.’ “But ‘there isn’t much of an alibi, is there?” asked the court. “We don't rely upon the alibi,” said Law- yér Peyton, “if Peter has resorted to it| successfully several times. We rely upon | the weakness of the government's proof.” | Judge Miller said that there was enough to hold the prisoner for the action of the | grand jury. Bond was fixed at $1,000. la AS GOOD AS NEW. said The Pilot Boy Made Over, Even to the Name. The steamer Pilot Boy, owned by the Washington Steamboat Company, has been rebuilt and rechristened the Belle Haven. She is to resume her position on the ferry route, in conjunction with the Columbia, on Thursday. The work of rebuilding was done by the Woodall Company of Balti- more. The Belle Haven is substanially a new boat, all that remains of the cld one being the skeleton, and even some of this has been renewed. Her hull has been changed to a composite one, the fron hav- ing been smoothed up, several new plat. inserted, and the whole cased in heavy) oak, Five thou d bolts were used in; this work, and fo>ty new beams have been | placed under her guards. The work has| resulted in the widening of the hull six) inches, and lengthening it four feet. Much | of the joiner work has been made dver, and the craft has been refurnished. The en- gines and boilers were overhauled by the Campbell-Zell Company of Baltimore. She received new wheels, and the engine's keelson was rebuilt. The renewal was con- ducted under the personal supervision of Mr. C. W. Ridley of the home company. She has been renamed Belle Haven after the ancient name of the city of Alexandria. The Pilot Boy was one of the old-time and most famous steamers of this river. She has been on every route of the Potomac, and in every line of river trade. She served a long term as an excursion steamer be- tween Washington and various riverside resorts, and has been employed in the ferry business for two seasons. In ber palmy days she was on the lower Potomac route with the Georgianna. She is ex- pected to reach Washington late Wednes- ‘lay night or early Thursday morning. Capt. Marmaduke will command her, and Engineer Gimond will manipulate the ievers and throttles, —_—___ REVIVED THE BRIGGS CASE. Presbytern Object to Sitndents In- stracted at Union Seminary, The New York presbytery held its month- ly meeting yesterday. Several young men were presented to the presbytery prior to admission to the ministry, and after the | usual questions had been put and answered favorably to the candidates Dr. G. L. Shearer of the Tract Society created a com- motion by suggesting that “it might be well to ask these young men whether they are attending any seminary not recommended by this body and the general assembl: This practically introduced the Briggs Question into the case, and a dozen minis- ters were on their feet instantly. Dr. Rossiter said that {t would be time enough to inquire the place the candidates studied theology when they came up for final license. Dr. Charles L. Thompson said he was not aware of anything that would prevent the candidates from attending any seminary they desired. He did not know but what a student had a right to enter a rapa Not approved by the great assem- y. Dr. John Hall, amidst the clamor, said: “Brethren, 1 think we should exercise a little Christian peace and magnanimity. No doubt the young men entered the seminary long before any difference arose. I move to admit the young men.” . Dr. Conkling moved that they be admit- ted, but Dr. Shearer opposed them. Dr. Robinson favored their admission. Dr Shear- er insisted, and two of the candidates de- clared that they had attended Union Semi- nary; they were seniors. A third said he had been there a year. The question of ad- mission was put an carried, there bein; only three votes to the contrary, 6 ———-e0 McKane'’s Accounts, The private investigation of the accounts of John Y.
