The bill that has just passed the Senate, and will, no doubt, meet with a favorable reception by the President, abolishing the | individuality of Georgetown and making it | part and parcel of the city of Washington, subject to her laws and recipient of her | benefits, is the most largely discussed topic | at present claiming the attention of the Georgetown people. The biil has strong ad- vocates here and strong supporters. Some desire to retain the exclusiveness of the place in regard to everything that pertains to it as a separate city, while others, always ready to adopt progressive ideas, even at the cost of local pride, are rejoicing at the | Prospect of consolidation, School Trustee Jesse H. Wilson is now in favor of the change, because it will clear up the compli-| cations that exist in the laws governing the two places. Said Mr. Wm. A. Hutchins: “Its passage } will stop al! dickering as to local laws. While nominally under one rule, George-| town has been governed by almost an en-| tirely different code, which has raused an- noyance ever since the giving up of West | End corporation rights.” Mr. R. A. Casilear believes in consolida- tion, because in true union there is strength. “I believe that consolidation will do a ay with the desire that has been for years manifest in Washington, to shut George- town out of every appropriation pill drawn up,” said Mr. Geo. W. King. Dr. Ritchie is heartily in favor of the pill. Capt. Joseph H. Lee would rather live in a part of a large and important city than in @ small and comparatively unimportant one. Mr. W. A. Cunninghm is another of the Progressive citizens and is heartily in favor of the consolidation. Another citizen said, on the other side of the question: “Georgetown has prospered | as Georgetow hy make a change? I would rather be a standing man in a small city than an atom in a large one. A Temperance Lecture. Luther Benscn, the temperance erator, Was at the Dumbarton Avenue Church dest right. A great crowd greeted him and listened to his affecting stories of the ruin brovght on by drink. His own past fe Was reviewed and the horrors endurcd during his period of addiction vividly brought before the audience. He was In his best talking trim and Kept all inte: ested intensely from the beginning to the end.

A well 75 feet in depth has been dug and sand of a good oil country has, been dis- closed, which predicts the speedy uppear- ance of the liquid. Samples of this sand have been taken to Pittsburg for analysis. Last Hunt. The Chevy Chase Club hunts will close on Saturday next. On that day the biggest of the season will be enjoyed Everybody | Will be there. It will be a society event as well as one in sporting circles. There was to have been a hunt yesterday, but the weather was against the riders. After Saturday there will be regular polo ard tennis games about the club house. Another Revival. Another revival service of great interest was held last night at the West Street Presbyterian Church by the Rev. Palmer Hulbert of New York city. The sermon was based on a selection from the parable of the prodigal son—“I will arise ard go to my father.” After the delivery of the dis- course, which was of great power, quite a number responded to the invitation to fol- low the example of the prodigal and at the suggestion of the minister stood up, some of whom had resisted the charms of the Gorpe! for a quarter of a century. The Rev. Mr. Hulbert will this evening con- duct a Christian Endeavor rally, becinning = 7:33 o'clock, to which all the members of the District societies are invited. > THE JUDGE DI | AGREES. Does Not Think Editor Gibson's Met ods Quite Regular. Henry F. Gibson, the young’man from Charlottesville, Va., who came here a few weeks ago and started a paper, known the Saturday Weekly Journal, and who got | arrested after the first issue of the paper, | as heretofore published in The Star, was tfied yesterday. Gibson, who is twenty-four years old, claims that he employed or | the Charlcttesville Gazette for several Years, and he afterward went to work. When he rented a rcom in the power house he soon made the acquairtarce of some | local merchants, among them being Mr. Addison, the paper dezler. To a member of the firm he said he had furds in the Peo- ple's National Bank of Charlottesville, and upon this representatior he was trusted for $6 worth of pap his check soon came back marked * G. Young Gibson claimed that he fully ex- pected his father to put money in the bank, on which he gave the checks, as he had re- ceived a letter from his father to that ef- fect. Judge Miller thought his transactions were not entirely in the line followed by most business men, and held Gibson in $00 security for the action of the grand jary. He was committed to jail in default of bond. ——__ Has Gone Insane.
