The Banquet of the Georgetown Post Graduate Law Ci Eloquence, wit and good cheer reigned supreme at Welcker’s last evening as the members of the post graduate class of Georgetown Law School gathered for their annual banquet. A number of the faculty were present as guests of the class. After full justice had been done to the bountiful menu, Mr. Wilton J. Lambert, president of the class, in a few well-chosen remarks, in- troduced the toastmaster, Mr. A. 8. Mich- ener. Mr. Michener expressed great gratifi- cation at the presence of so many members of the class and faculty. He introduced as the first speaker Mr. Lew H. Phillips, who responded to the toast, “Our profession.” Mr. E. A. Davis followed with an eloquent speech on the theme, “Our patriotism,” in which He said that there could not be found such an anomaly as an unpatriotic Ameri- can. Mr. C. D. Van Duzer, in speaking upon the toast,“The bench,” sald that there were no higher offices in the gift of the people of this counfty than positions upon the bench. Mr. Raymond E. Gery made an extremely bright and witty response to “Our clients.” His remark that the increase in litigation was entirely out of proportion to the in- crease in the number of lawyers elicited hearty laughter. Mr. Raymond A. Heiskell spoke eloquently of “Alma mater,” review- ing the history of Georgetown University from its founding to the present time, and concluding with verses from the pen of a former member of the class, Mr. James 8. Easby Smith. Mr. John J. Dolan was introduced as one who had on many occasions lent the power of his eloquence to the furtherance of the interests of Georgetown. Mr. Dolan re- sponded to the toast, “Our faculty.” In concluding he named over the various gen- tlemen composing it, prefixing each name as he spoke it with the adjectives denoting the distinctive characteristics of the indi- vidual professors. The last toast, “Our class,” was eloquently responded to by the president of the class, Mr. Wilton J. Lam- bert. He referred feelingly to the fact that this was probably the last meeting of the class before they should separate to their various walks of Mfe. He reviewed the his- tory of the class, referring to the many victories achieved by its members. All of the members of the faculty present responded to calls upon them and many bright remarks were the result. Messrs. D. D. Donovan and Wallace Streater were also called upon and responded briefly. Mr. Edw. J. Walsh recited two selections to the satisfaction of all. The entire affair was successful from start to finish. Nearly every speaker in some way referred to the recent series of victories in the joint de- bates with Columbian, and the praises of the victors were loudly proclaimed. ‘Those who gathered around the table were as follows: Judge Jere Wilson, Messrs. T. A. Lambert, Henry Wise Garnett, R. Ross Perry, G. E. Hamilton, Job Barnard and Rene Holaind of the faculty, and of the class Messrs. Wilton J. Lambert, John J. Dolan, A. S. Michener, C. E.

Donovan were pres- ent as guests of individual members of the class. aes eet Opening of River View. A large crowd attended, on Sunday, the eighth inaugural of River View as a pleas- ure resort. Capt. E. S. Randall stood at the gang plank, and welcomed his friends and patrons as they arrived. The Jolly Fat Men were out in full force, with their usual heavy weight of rollicking fun. The Orderiof Elks and members of other clubs and societies were also present. Two trips were made, and when the Samuel J. Pentz slipped her moorings and started down on the afternoon trip she was crowded with happy people, en route for a gala time down the Potomac. When River View was reached the c:owds dispersed over the broad acres of pleasure grounds, each in quest of what pleases the individual fancy. Men rode, with the freedom of youth, the horses and ponies around the riding track, to the enjoyment of spectators. The little ones delighted in the donkeys and goats, the steam flying-horses and roller coaster. Many tested their skill at the bowling alley, while others p-acticed at the rifle range. The base ball field attracted the lovers of the national game, and the other sports galore contributed to the entertainment. Capt. Randell received the congratulations of his patrons on the successful opening of his season under such flattering auspices. MR. JARVIS' APPOINTMENT His Position in Regard to the Reflection of Senator Ransom. Democrats in North Carolina Luke- warm—A Complex Condition of Things in the State. Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., April 80, 1894. The appointment of Thomas J. Jarvis as Senator, to succeed Vance, while expected by some persons, Was not expected by far more, for it was thought a man from the Western part of the state, whence Vance came, would be selected. Senator Jarvis acted promptly in the matter of his inten- tions by announcing that he would repre- sent the Vance constituency only until the legislature met, and would then contest for Ransom's seat. There is no shrewder poll- ticlan in all the state than Jarvis, and he ought certainly .to be gratified at the hold he has upon the people—black and white. A conipliment was paid him never before paid in the south. A delegation of leading negroes, of both parties, called on Gov. Carr and urged him to appoint Jarvis. He thanked them for what they said, ‘in- formed them that Jarvis was the man chosen, and then they hurried to the lat- ter’s hotel and congratulated him. Senator Jarvis has written a second let- ter, in which he says that the statements that Gov. Carr gave him the appointment as a personal reward are entirely untrue and umjust. He denies that he has thrown down the gauntlet to Ransom, yet in the next sentence says that the latter has held office twenty-two years and that any man has a right to succeed him. Jarvis says he is willing to leaye either to the democ primaries or the convention the matter © Whether he shall or shall not be a candi- date for the Senate. Now, all this is unusual and ext: interesting. It shows how formidable som's competitor is. The alliance papers claim that the governor's appointment cf Jarvis meant the downfall of Ransom. It is alleged that the mass of the country people are for Jarvis. Yet Ransom has Wonderful strength and. power of recupera- tion. His friends really regard him as in- vineible. Many office holders are under cb- ligations to him for his efforts in thetr be- mely an- Will Bring Out the Democratic Vote. It ts the belief of many well-informed per- sons that this. very contest between these leaders wilt do more than almost anything else to bring out the democratic vote. The one great biigbear of the democrais this year is not the defection of their, people; not their desertion te the populists; Lut absolute inertia; abstention from voting; carelessness a8 to what happens. And this is the real danger to them. One can now hear persons say dally that they do not care how matters go politically; that affairs could not be worse than they are. Cleve- land is abused, Hill is denounced, Congress is cursed. One man of large means and great directness of expression declares that “Congress, Coxey and the devil are ruining the country.” It 1s freely said by democrats that if Con- gress will pass the Wilson bill and the in- come tax measure all will be well; but if this is not done they really do not see what their party can do this year to defend itself. During the last campaign many democratic speakers promised to do so and so. They were asked by populists why they had not already done these things, and said because they had never had control of the Presidency and of both branches of Con- gress, They then asked the people to give them one more trial. Some speakers car- ried themselves so far in their earnestness as to say they would vote with the popu- Usts next time if the democrats failed to carry out their pledges made in 1892. If the democrats are harassed, one may be sure the two other parties are having trouble too. The populists are not making gains. It is alleged that they reached their h-water mark in 1802. The republicans are also not making gains. Here is where the danger, insidious as it is, of demo- cratie apathy comes in, Both populists and republicans will certainly poll their full vote. The breach between the northern and southern democrats is wide and widening. The former are distrusted now. This is the frank expression of a fact. The change in Sentiment has been.brought about by Con- gress, and may be, perhaps, never erad- icated. Hill has come to be regarded as the personification of northern democracy. His being read out of the party would please steat numbers of earnest democrats in this section. A white republican, who read what the negroes said on the subject of their vote being this year an unknown quantity, said that he regarded the negro vote as pur- chasable in 1804. This means that some white ‘republicans have acquired a con- tempt for the very vote which put them in bower year after year for nearly a decade. Civil Service a Burden. Civil service is a great burden to the dem- ocrats. They feel the pressure, the grip, of it. A postmaster now does not know how far his authority goes. Those persons who hold positions under civil service rules are half fearful, yet half defiant, and talk of what they will do if any democrat attempts to displace them. Some negroes say they will watch democrats and see if they dis- place negro office holders, and intimate that if this is not done they will not act in an unkindly way toward the democratic party. This means that the negro, who neyer gets many offices, wants to hold on to those given his race, It goes to show how easily the color line can be broken by the demo- crats if they care to break it. And this it is which moved the same republican who declared the negro vote to be purchasable to say further that he expected to sce negtoes on democratic tickets in a few years—for legislative positions, not those of profit. Of course no democrat has been heard to say such a thing. But this is a decade full. of surprises, and the unexpected often happens. Toaay is the birthday of L. L. Polk, who was the most influential president the Na- tional Farmers’ Alliance ever had and whose death here, in June, 1892, was the greatest blow the populists ever suffered. The populist papers are now printing many of the things Polk used to say. It would hardly have been believed in 1890 that the democrats would come in 1894 to favor so many things which the alliance was then only beginning to urge, or rather to hint at. An ultra-democratic paper sighs as it la- ments over the fact that little is left the democratic party these days but its name. The alliances all over this state and in other states held meetings today in memory of Polk and raised money with which they propose to reat a monument over his now unmarked gfave in a cemetery in this city. There is no sign of any truce between the two factions of the republican party. It is said by some that the prospects of getting money from the north for campaign pur- poses are rather better than usual. There are gome who say that in years past much of the money given or allowed for this pur- pose never was applied properly and that is the true reason why there is so little dis- position now to send any national commit- tee funds here. The Fight on Simmons. The slowness of the confirmation of F. M. Simmons as revenue collector of this district has been a cause of much fecling. Senator Vance antagonized Simmons, who, as you have been informed, is the chair- man of @he democratic state committee. Some of Simmons’ friends say they doubly Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS. CASTORIA CURES CONSTIPATION. CASTORIA ALLAYS FEVERISHNESS, CASTORIA CURES DIARRHOEA AND COLIC. CASTORIA RELIEVES TEETHING TROUBLES. CASTORIA PREVENTS VOMITING SOUR CURD. “The use of ‘Castoria’ is so universal and its merits so well known that it seems a work of supererogation to indorse it. Few are the tatelli- gent families who do not keep Castoria. within easy reach,’ regret Vance's death at this juncture, as they desired the question of the so-called E against Simmons fully looked into. Then, if he was confirmed it would be a complete vindication. If he were not confirmed he could go before the people as @ congressional candidate and thus get their indorsement in a very practical way. It is said that.the Vance fight against Sim- mons will not be taken up and that Sena- tor Jarvis will support him with all his in- fluence. Simmons’ friends, comprising the vast mass of the democrats in the state, have always insisted that the enimosity toward him was of a personal nature. The people are very quiet, politically, in this state. This applies with marked force to the farmers. Of course, nearly every- body “talks politics,” but there is no ex- citement. The farmers are working very hard. They have plenty to eat and. crop prospects ‘ard are less hampered by debt than at any time in twenty years. There is no unemployed labor either in the factories or on the farms. The North Caro- linian reads of the “Coxey armies,” the closed mines and mills, the strikes, the great number of the hungry very much as if these people and these affairs were mov- ing on in another world, The ce and quiet here are an object lesson. They show the value of a homogeneous population, of a community mainly agricultural and singu- larly simple in its tastes and inclinations, The commissioner of agriculture epitomizes the situation when he says: “It does not have to be pointed out that the condition of the negro in this state is vastly superior to that of the men ue arid Coxey’s army and the thousands of the same ilk ho have not joined this erratic chief. While North Carolina invites immigration, it de- sires only ‘home builders,’ who prove their worthiness to become American citizens. It has been said that the presence of the hegro is an effectual bar to immigration in the south. If this be true, and few will doubt it, the negro has done the south a great service in barring the entrance of the riff raff, the anarchist and the vicious into our beloved country of law, order and re- ligigus liberty.” i ee SUICIDE ON A STEAMSHIP. Harrison Price Shot’ Himself While Coming From England. NEW YORK, May 1.—The steamer Saale, which arrived this morning from Southamp- ton, reports that on the morning of April 24 Harrison Price, aged fifty-two years, a second cabin passenger, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. Price, from what could be learned from one of the passengers, boarded the steamer at Southampton. He was very quiet and reticent, mingling but little with his fellow passengers. On, last Tuesday morning, the 24th, he not appearing at breakfast, a steward went to his room, and on entering found him lying in his berth dead, his hand tightiy grasping a revolver. He had shot himself apparently during the night or early morning hours. The bullet had entered his mouth, lodging in the brain. The body was buried at sea on the after- noon of the same day. Price was a native of the United States, and is supposed to have been going to Jet sey City Heights. He had resided in Eng- land for the last ten years or more: —— CELEBRATING MAY DAY, Slight Disturbances in Belgium, but Order Elsewhere. GHENT, Belgium, May 1.—Some slight May day disturbances have taken place at Hamme, nineteen miles from this city. One thousand rope makers suddenly ceased work and jolaed in a disorderly procession, during which they broke a number of win- dows with stones. The, local gendarmes were called upon to restore order, and suc- ceeded in doing so after a number of ar- rests had been made. PARIS, May 1.—May day is passing quietly throughout France, and no disorder 48 anticipated anywhere.

Latest Offer to the Choctaws and Chickasaws, MUSKOGEE, I. T., May 1.—The Dawes Indian commission has withdrawn its first proposition to the Choctaw’ and Chickasaw nations, and presents for the consideration of these nations another plan, as follows: To divide all lands now owned by the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, not in- cluding town sites, among all citizens of the two rations according to the treaties now in force, reserving the coal and min- erals for sale; town sites and coal and min- erals discovered to be the subjects of spe- cial agreements between the parties, and such as will secure to the natives and to those who have invested in them just pro- tection or adjustment of ‘their respective rights and interests therein, All invested funds and all moneys derived from the sale of the town sites, coal and minerals, and from the sale of the leased district, as well as all moneys found due from the United States to elther of said nations, to be divided per capita among their citizens, according to their respective rights under the treaties and agreements. If an agreement shall be reached with the Choctaws and Chickasaws a territorial gov- ernment shail be formed by Congress over the territory of the two nations, and such other of the five civilized tribes as may have at the time allotted their lands. > DAVIDSON, THE ARTIST. Death of the Well-Known Marine Painter. NYACK, N. Y., May 1.—Jullan O. David- son, the well-known artist, died at his home in Nyack last night of heart disease and dropsy. He had been sick for several months, but while unable to go about the room he continued almost up to the last to sketch and paint as best his failing powers would permit. Mr. Davidson's marine work in art ranked among the best and most ed in the country. For several years he in the employ of the Harpers, and many of his larger paintings have attracted favorable attention of art critics. In late years Mr. Davidson has also contributed to the Century and other periodicals. He leaves a widow, but no children. , ae aie 7 BOMB IN THE GUILD HALL, An Explosive Found in London's Council Chamber.

SAN: FRANCISCO, May 1.—A band of en- thuslastic Mormon missionaries have ar- rived here from various parts of Utah. There are fourteen in all, including two women, and they are bound to various parts of the Pacific. ‘Three go to New Zea- land, four to Tasmania and New South Wales, four to Samoa and three to Hawaii. Their ' proselyting will not be so much among the natives of the South Sea Islands as among the white residents. Definition of Chincse “Merchant.” SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.—The rush of Chinese “merchants” intent on reaching America before registration ceases on May 3 has caused an appeal to the courts to define the word “merchant.” Judge Motrow has taken the problem under advisement. Se Contribution to the Irish Cau WORCESTER, Mass. May 1.—Rev. Dr. Themas J. Conaty, state treasurer of the Massachusetts Irish National Federation, has sent a check for $5,000 to Dr. T. A.

ATHENS, May 1.—A sharp shock of earthquake was felt here at 2:25 a.m. to- day. Several lighter shocks followed, but no further damage was done. Reports from the stricken districts con- firm the most alarming statements as to loss of life and amount of damage done. It is believed that when the total. loss of life from earthquake disasters and from the subsequent exposure of the homcless people is added up it will be found that nearly, if not quite, 500 people have lost their lives through the recent calamities.

Mr. Knight made an able plea for the prisoner, but the prosecutors, Mr. J. F. Trazzare and Mr. E. A, Cook, had by far the best evi- dence, and deserve much credit for the way they conducted the case, as their entire case was carried on as it should fn the courts of the District, while the other side did not stick to the testimony in their argument, The jury after considering the matter for about one-half hour could not agree, the vote being six to five. —_.__ Epworth League Entertainment.

To Test the Bull ions. There is to be a test case involviug the validity of the building regulations, Builder Frank Hanvey recetitly applied to the build- ing inspector to issue him a permit to con- struct a dwelling in the county. The permit was refused on the ground that the regula- tions forbid projections on any suburban street less than sixty feet in width. It is the regulation of November 10, 189%, which Operates against the permit. It reads: “That no projection other than oriels whose lowest portion shall be high enough above the sidewalk to leave at least twelve feet headway shall be allowed on any suburban street sixty feet and less in width.” Mr. Hanvey proposes to test the law to the fullest extent. No Special Hack Permit. The attorney for the District holds, in an opinion to the Commissioners today, that regulations in regard to hacks should be general in their character and ito ell persons in the same occupations, tfades or callings alike. This opinion was the result of a complaint from the ha¢kmen occupying the stand at the corner of 12th and Pennsyi- Vania avenue against the hack or cab which stands in front of Ogram’s drug store. A pecial permit was issued for this, but the attorney has recommended its revocation. THE BIBLE SOCIETY. Apnual Meeting | Election of Of- ficers for the Enauing Year.
