NEW YORK’S CONSTITUTION, Convention at Albany Tomorrow to Consider Many Questions. ‘The leading political event of the week will be the meeting of the constitution- al convention at Albany, N. Y., tomor- row. The convention will have a number of questions to pass upon which are of thé highest economic importance, but have but little direct connection with politics. Among these are various questions of taxation, home rule in the cities and counties for various purposes, including taxation. That the woman suffrage movement wil receive the serious attention of the convention may be regarded as settled. But even if there had been any chance for granting suffrage to women, the opposition of women them- selves would probably have Injured tt. One phase of the question which has not been discussed has probably not fatled to attract the notice of practical politicians, and that ts the effect that woman suffrage would have upon the granting of Mquor licenses. The full membership of the con- vention is 175, but there are four vacancies. Of the 171 members no fewer than 137 are lawyers, seven are journalists, six manu- facturers, five artisans, four bankers, four merchants, two insurance, two real estate, one electrician, one liquor dealer, one hotel keeper, one farmer and one physician. fae sale whl ree DEATH OF JOHN JAY. Descendant of Famous Ancestry and Ex-Minister to Austria, John Jay, who died at the Hotel Savoy, New York, Saturday afternoon, at the ad- vanced age of seventy-seven, belonged to a family which occupies a promment position in our political history. His grandfather, John Jay, held the post of president of the First Congress, and that of minister re- spectively to Spain and England. His son, Judge William, the father of the second John, Jay, married a sister of the late Prof. MeVicker, and was one of the earliest end most prominent leaders of the constitu- tional anti-slavery movement. John Jay, the younger, was bern in New York city on June 23, 1817, and graduated at Columbia College in 1836. Throughout the war Mr. Jay frequently advised with Mr. Lincoln and his cabinet. In 1869 he was sent by President Grant as minister to Austria. He resigned in 1875. In 1877 he was appointed by Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman chairman of a commission which investigated the methods of the New York custom house, and, in 1883, Gov. Cleveland made him the republican member of the state civil service commission, of which he was for several years president. —— ee To Test the Tex: The' machinery of the battleship Texas will be’ put to the test at a dock trial at the Norfoik navy yard next Wednesday. The A VACCINATION NOTICE Health Officer Hammett Calls Attention to Smallpox Regulations. He Advises That All Persons Be Vac- cimated if an Interval of Five Years Have Elapsed. Health Officer Hammett today issued the following official notice: “To the people of the District of Colum- bla: It having come to the knowledge of the health officer of the District of Columbia that smallpox is prevailing in various cities and other localities of the country and that its proximity to our own homes is apparent- ly nearing, it becomes my duty, for the pro- tection of the public health, to publish the following rules and regulations in regard to smallpox: The Disease. “The essential nature of smallpox is to diffuse itself, and, under certain favorable conditions, it is not only communicable from person to person, but capable of be- ing transported to great distances. To pre- vent the propagation of the specific poison your attention is called to the following regulations adopted by this department: Vaccination. “Parents and guardians shall cause their children and wards to be vaccinated before they attain the age of two years and re- vaccinated whenever the .health officer shall, after five years from the last vacci- nation, require it. The health officer ad- vises the vaccination of all the inhabitants of the District of Columbia, and, whenever, in his opinion, the public health demands it, the revaccination of ull persons who do not furnish satisfactory evidence that they have been successfully vaccinated or re- vaccinated within five years. This depart- ‘ment will furnish the means of vaccination to such persons as are unable to pay for the same. For this purpose the physicians to the poor will be directed to vaccinate the poor gratuitously, and whenever the exigency requires it. “Principals of incorporated manufacturing companies, superintendents of alms houses, reform and industrial schools, lunatic asy- lums and of all other charities where the poor and sick are received, masters . of THE COXEY PUZZLE. Suggestions of “Star” Readers as to the Way of Solving It. The presence of the Coxey “army” in the city continues to present a problem of in- terest to eltizens concerning which many correspondents of The Star have decided views. Mr. August Donath writes as fol- lows: “There are now assembled, within a few squares of the Capitol, some four or five hundred {dle men, banded together for the purpose of influencirig legislation in some manner not altogether. defined. They are waiting, we are told, for the arrival of other ‘bands or so-called “armies,” who propose to assemble here for the same purpose. The presence of those now encamped within our midst is a menace to the peace and welfare of the community. Deny it who can. The gathering of a larger force of reckless, ir- responsible men will simply increase the danger. Now, I. am.net-en- alarmist, por am I indifferent to the efforts of the many unemployed, throughout the land, to secure a betterment of existing deplorable condi- tions. But the movement engineered by Coxey and Browne is devoid of good sense, and must fail of good results. The public has only contempt for leaders who live in luxury at first-class hotels, while their fol- lowers are left to low rations and filthy quarters. Nor can it have any for the intelligence -of followers who seem to acquiesce in such treatment. However, what I started out to say is that the gather- ing of such bodies of men, for the avowed purpose of influencing legislation by force of number, is dangerous. It should not be permitted’ It has been permitted too long. Let the proper authorities disperse them at once. And if they resist, let them be treat- ed as individual vagrants are treated under cur laws.” A Lunacy Commission Suggested. A well-known physician writes: “The present incursion of a gang of poor, mis- guided and ignorant men‘ at the instigation, and under the leadership of one Coxey re- minds “us forcibly of the Gordon riots a century: ago in England, under the leader- ship of. an egotistic crack-brain, Lord Geo. Gcrdon. The mob entered London to pre- sent a petition to parfament, though few in their ignorance knew or cared for its reason, The move was against the govern- ment, which is sufficient now, as in any past age, to incite the idle to outrage. Mr. Coxey is apparently -honest, though he talks of revolution in a couritry where one man can exert as much Influence as another, individually at the ballot box, to shape houses of correction, jailers, keepers of prisons and directors or officers of all insti- | tutions supported or aided by the District of Columbia shall, at the expense of their respective » corporations or institutions, cause all inmates thereof to be vaccinated unless they produce sufficient evidence of previous successful vaccination having tak- en place within five years, fully ask a cheerful compliance with the regulations in order to avoid, so far as possible, an epidemic tn our city.” A Supply of Vaccine. Health Officer Hammett is now purchas- ing vaccine points by the wholesale, and the physicians to the poor are earning their salaries in an endeavor to protect the school children from the smallpox, which is prevalent in other cities just now. ‘This morning the physicians to the poor were at the health office to get their supply of vac- cine points and hear further instructions concerning their duty toward school chil- dren. In this connection Dr. Hammett addressed ;to each physician to the poor a copy of the. following: “You will proceed to vaccinate all poor persons in your district entitled to gratul- tous vaccination. Inclosed you will find your authority for visiting the public Schools for ascertainment of the children who should be vaccinated or revaccinated under the regulations. Whenever you find pupils unprotected, whose parents are too poor to bear the expense, you are directed to obtain vaccine points from this office and perform the service without charge. “You are also instructed to make weekly reports to the health department of the number of vaccinations made and the num- ber of children found in schools who have not been vaccinated or revaccinated, giving location of schoo! and names of such chil- dren.” Names of School Children, This order, however, did not meet with the approval of the school authorities, who understood how the,appearance of the phy- siclans at the schools might cause alarm and humiliate the children whose parents are unable to pay for their vaccination. In consideration of these facts, the order was immediately recalled, and the school super- intendents will furnish the names of the poor children, as well as those of others who require vaccination or revaccination. Complaint is made on part of some citi- | zens concerning the charges made by doc- tors for vaccinating children. Under the | rvles of the Medical Society the charge for vaccinating is from $3 to $3, so a member of the society told a Star reporter this morning, While hethought that the charge mertioned was exorbitant, he said that a member of the society who does the work for less ts likely to be hauled up on charges. | But he sald he knew of some of the doc- | tors who were instrumenta! in making the |rule charging cnly $1. The points cost about 10 cents each at resail, and it requires not more than tive mmutes to do the work. This particular physician thought $1 would be good pay for goch vaccination. Indeed, he said it is not necessary for a physician to do the vac- cimating. It is a very easy thing to do, an children’s parents may do it as well as doctor. —_—-—.—_—_ DR. NAYLOR’S REMOVAL. A Statement That Fayette Street Church Never Protested Against His Appointment. The Star of Saturday published the cor- respondence that passed between the com- mittee representing the M. E. churches of this district that protested by resolutions of their official bodies against the removal of Rev. Dr. Naylor as presiding elder and Bish- op Fowler, who presided at the last Balti- more annual conference, and who made the change in the presiding eldership. Bishop Fowler declined to reconsider his action. In a letter sent to the committee from Wil- mington, Del., and dated April 16, Bishop Fowler sak ‘The appointment of Dr. Naylor was very carefuliy considered before it was made. I tried to open the way for him at Fayette Street, Baltimore, but I could not, as I was met by what claimed to be an official protest.” The final report drawn up by the commit- tee respecting the case answers this state- ment regarding a protest from Fayette Street Church, as follows: “The committeemen were aware that if it had been known that Dr. Naylor was to be taken off of the Washington district, a conference would have gladly sought his services, and they could not understand why the. Fayette Street Church should have of- fered a protest against Dr. Naylor, when’ the fact of his intended removal from Washing- ton had been kept such a profound secre A letter was ‘accordingly dispatched by 1 committee to the recording steward of the Fayette Street Church, who was also chair- man ofits committee on pulpit supply, re- questing a statement as to the official pro- test against Dr.Naylor which Bishop Fowler had spoken of. “The recording steward wrote back im- mediately that the official board of the Fayette Street Church had made no protest whatever against the appointment of Dr. Naylor to that charge. He further sald that before the session of the conference a com- mittee of five on pulpit supply had been ap- pointed, but no protest was rfade on the part of that body, either, to Dr. Naylor's assignment. Further consideration of Bish- op, Fowler's letter developed another point, in which he se2med to take issue with Bish- op Hurst as to rights of official bodies to protest to the higher authorities. Bishop Hurst told the committee thay neither it nor any body of Methodists had any rights in the matter at all, and any interference on their part was mere impertinence. Bishop | Fowler had not only recognized in his letter | the right of petition and protest, but plainly showed that he acted upon what he was pleased to call a protest in setting aside Dr. Naylor from a charge to which his own judgment indicated he should go.” In the publication Saturday of the letters sent by Mr. Ashley to Bishop Fowler some typographical errors were made. Mr. Ash- ley was made to say: “But we trust that your consideration to the service of God, &c."" It should be “your consecration, &¢." A line further on the expression “through the church of one’s common choice, &c.,”” should read “the church of our common choice, &c.” ‘The last word in the first paragraph endin, in the second column should be “vindicated,” not “Indicated. ee Naval Orde immediately upon their admission thereto, | I most respect- | score of the best churches in the Baltimore | legislation. He {s probab honest and | earnest; so was Lord George Gordon. Last Tuesday's performance escaped being a | repetition of the suffering and slaughter j which attended the Gordon riots, not by merit of Mr. Coxey, but because of the | more humane method of this period in | meeting the disturbance in its incipiency. What man of sane mind would lead a for- lorn gang of men, without means of suste- | mance, into a strange city, with threats of | burdening the population with their support for months, after shocking the religious part of the country with his blasphemies? A sane man would not indulge in the blas- phemy alone, nor would he, uninvited, claim | to represent the will of the people. | “The writer would earnestly suggest in the Interest of a peaceful solution of ‘the difficulty, shown by the general movement , all over the country, and as a‘deterrent to others from what Mr. Coxey has done, that Mr. Coxey be apprehended and’ examfmed under a civil process de lunatico inqui- rendo, and if found to be a mental per- | vert, capable of mischief, that he be se- cluded in an asylum for some months. | “The same process could be pursued in the case of any other man who takes ad- | Vantage of the disturbed financial and | labor conditions to delude ignorant men ‘into coming to Washington to overawe Congress. The course suggested seems a proper and legal one, and if applied to any leader, assistant, or promoter of such move- ment, would result in a paucity of leaders at least; would not leave any of them ground for a claim of martyrdom, and should give the law-observing community bloodless relief from threatened possi- bilities.” | Am Appeal From Montgomery County. | Mr. Arthur Stabler of Sandy Spring, Md., writes: “We notice that as Coxey’s army has passed through the country on its march to Washington the people living on thé line of march have fed them and en- couraged them to proceed on their journey. |'Thus they moved on until they finally | reached their destination, foot sore and weary, and they doubtless realize now that th e stranded, forsaken and desperate, having been grossly deceived and misled by few adventurers, who are now under ar- | rest for creating disturbances at the na- tional capital. ~ “ “Now, ‘what are the Commissioners going to do ebdut it?” Are they going to drive | them further? We trust not. We trust you | will not drive them out of the city to flood the country adjacent to Washington as aim- less tramps. Should you take such action they would naturally start to retrace their steps, and we of Montgomery county would have them all among us, and thus be the unfortunate victims-of their desperation. “We ask in the name of justice and rea- son to make some disposizion of these poor, deluded creatures that will enable them to reach home and friends. We ask in the mame of humanity that this question may be treated fairly and intelligently by the District authorittes—in short, that they may accept the situation as it exists and treat it in @ manner that will prevent these people from being compelled to seek food and shel- ter froma people whg are in no way re- Sponsible for the condition they are in.” | A Question of Right. Another correspondent asks, now that the excitement of Coxey and his army of unem- ployed is over, how long after his trial will it take to drum him out of town with his poor deluded followers? By what right has one man to dump several hundred idle men | into a town and compel them to be fed and sheltered, filling our lodging houses, hospitals, and oblige us to keep several hun- dred police to guard them? If this state of affairs can occur whenever a crank can bamboozle the vicious and idle, where will it end? Regards Them ds Rebels. Another writer, a veteran of 1861, says: “I can not forbear from expressing my | opinion of Coxey and his movements. I | consider him just as much of a rebel as | Were the leaders of the south in 1801, whén they rebelled against our established forms of government and took up arms against them. These men have no right to come here to intimidate the representatives of the people assembled here in Congress, and should be treated as a rebel mob, inciting to civil war. The redress of the people is in the ballot boxes. The south is today in sackcloth and ashes because she did not fight her battles in the national houses of Corgress. That Congress has been dilatory cannot be denied, party spirit has entered too far in our politics. More work should be done by our legislators; they should be held accountable for their dilatory work, but not by a mob, tramping from the west and made up of uneducated foreign anar- chists and youthful, inexperienced men and many of the regular type of tramp. They are a danger and a menace to our law- abiding citizens. They are Hable to organize a lawless mob of ignorant, desperate men, who, before they are suppressed, may do much damage to life’ arid’ property.” — TESTING PROJECTILES. JU) Experiments at the Indian Tead Proving Grounds. ‘There was an interesting test of ordnance at the Indian Head proving grounds Satur- day. Two Sterling projectiles—one a 12- inch and the other a 13-inch—were fired against a 12-inch Harveyized curved plate, manufactured originally for the Texas. The 2-inch projectile was tried first. It was fired at an angle of three or four degrees from normal, and penetrated the plate,wood backing and twelve feet of sand. It was re- covered entire and uncracked. The upper left-hand corner of the plate, against which ct occurred, was knocked to pieces. shell struck normally about thirt; ‘hes from the first impact. Like the first shot, it penetrated the plate and backing and glanced out of the butt, falling about feet to the rear, of the structure. ‘The projectile was recovered entire and un- cracked.

Among a certain portion of Washing- ton’s population much greater excitement prevails today than the coming of Coxey occasioned. The small boy's ideal has come to town. The circus—the Barnum and Bailey's greatest show on earth—is here. Greater than ever before, the aggregation of unequaled wonders arrived by special trains at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was greeted with howls of delight from scores and scores of the male sex, and females too, from wee tots in baby carriages to old folks scarcely able to walk, who had been patiently waiting the coming since early morning. As suddenly, as though by the work of Arabian Nights’ genil, tents were in place and the work of unloading accomplished. Then the employes, numbering over 7v0, were served with dinner, while the open- mouthed spectators gazed at as much of the show as was visible, paying particular attention to the magnificent draft horses, arranged under a canvas cover in four long Mnes, according to color. vT Street Parade. But almost next to the circus gntertain- ment proper, in the estimation of young and old America, was the gorgeous street parade this morning. The day opened up in an ideal menner for a circus, and promptly at 8 o'clock the pageant started from the grounds at North Capitol, L and M streets, and passed over the following route: North Capitol to H street, west on H street to Sth street, down 5th street to G street, west on G to 7th street, up 7th street to Island avenue, west on Rhode Island avenue to 1éth street, down l4th to K street, west on K street to Wi Circle, avenue to ist street, up Ist street, east on G street to North Capitol street, to the grounds. The streets were lined with most appre- ciative throngs. They saw several bands in big, gold-mounted wagons. Then there were gentlemen fox hunters and cavaliers, lady performers and side-saddle experts in gay costumes, nearly a score of open dens, containing tigers, lions, leopards, panthers, hyenas, bears, wolves and their bespangied trainers. Behind these rode mounted ladies of the hippodrome and gen- uemen hippodrome riders, three teams of Roman standing racers and three four- horse Roman chariots. Two elephants, with howdahs, containing oriental beauties, attracted considerable attention, as did a caravan of twelve performing elephants; dromedaries, with Asiatic riders; a dragon chariot, with harnessed camels, and a chariot of India, drawn by ten horses. The little ones were especially pleased by a line of gilded chariots representing Cinderella's fairy coach, Blue Beard, old woman who lived in a shoe, Santa Claus, Little Red Riding Hood, Sinbad the sailor and Mother Goose. The opportunity to be in close prox- imity to a real live clown was taken ad- vantage of by scores of street urchins, who trotted behind a white-faced individual in a tiny cart throughout the parade. A steam calliope made itself heard to good advan- tage. A Congress of Nations. The balance of the pageant was decidedly unique. Composing it were accurate repre- sentations of the crowned heads of the world, presented in a most gorgeous man- ner. They appeared in the following order: China—His majesty, the emperor, mounted standard bearer, white.swan chariot, with six manderins and officers. Siam—Magnificent Stamese procession, with King Thebaw in state on the back of an elephant. ‘wo other elephants with howdahs.

Crowds surrounded the ticket office at the srounds long before 1 o'clock this after- neon, and an hour later seats within the vast canvas auditorium were at a premium. In addition to the usual exhibition of ani- mals, there was to be seen a grand ethno- logical congress, a real Cossack encamp- ment, Chiko and his bride, Johanna, the giant gorillas, and crude and barbarous cannibal races, pagans, idolaters, heathen, Mohammedens, huddhists, Vishnus, fire and sun worshipers, queer rites, ceremonies and religions, curious tamilies of strange people, with their huts, tents, weapons, utensils, implements and musical instruments. In the arena one of the first attractions presented was a stupendous trained beast exhibition of wild and domestic brutes per- forming at one time in an immense steel- barred cage. There were many new and startling features shown in the three rings and on the two stages, the entertainment winding up with races on the Olympia podrome racing track. Truly it is the great- est show on earth. —__. Patriotic Iden im Art.

Congressman Breckinridge, in his speech at Lexington, Ky. on Saturday, after spebKing of his public careef and party Services, went on to speak of thc recent scandal, as follows: “But it is charged that all this may be trve, but that, in the light of what the revelations concerning my private life have shown, I am not fit to be a Representative; that that renders it the duty of the district to set me aside; that a re-election would be & ‘vindication; that a vote for me is a vote of approval, and, if not of approval, of con- @vnation. “If this were so, my fellow-citizens, I would not stand for re-election; I would not accept your votes; I should not live ia your midst. Of what I have been guilty I have made public acknowledgment under oath in the sight of God, of the court and of the country. As to Judge Bradley. “I am a lawyer and litigant as well as a citizen, an@ have no criticism here to make upon the court and the judge who presided at the late trial. The proper criticism his rulings will be before the Court denied, ground thet the litigant himself was yer of marked ability,” the meaning which can be better understood when it known that upon the that litigant, in permit those interruptions to be made his counsel. “But I do not wish this district to con- ceive that I have any defense to make for what I have done, and for that of which I from nor add to the punishment I have suf- fered.

How many kind words did this atonement produce to others! How much of self-contro! and how much of self-sacrifice, how much of earnestness and lebor in aid of good things and to good causes! When I came to make « public utterance, under any circumstances, to any audience, how cautious was I that no word of mine might tempt others to be as I was guilty; that in what I would say no trace of what was not noble could be found. I thank God that in the almost numbezless utterances which I have made, whether upon the stump to the most mis- cellaneous audiences, or to the most select audiences in the most select places, no word was éver uttered that would not help the weary and the struggling wrong-doer; that would not give hope to him avho was downcast. was not hypocrisy; was felt by the heart and delivered in soul; this was what the brain approved; this was part pa: “And now that bas come there is an element of gladness in it I care not now what letters come in my mail; I care not for the Closet door to be opened; there is no skeleton there; and I can go into the clear sunlight, out of mysteries, and look up through the blue skies into the upper world with the feeling that there is po cloud there.

No children resulted from the union, and she alleges that from six days after the marriage until April 6, 1802, she supported her husband. Then she refused to longer support him, where- upon he abandoned and deserted her.
