Five-Cent Stamps Might Carry the Flag. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: In the editorial columns of The Star of Friday I read with pleasure your comments upon Mr. Lampton’s suggestion concerning the adoption by the Post Office Depart- ment as a permanent design for our two- cent stamps the American flag. This is a patriotic and valuable suggestion, and every patriot will applaud it. May I be permitted to suggest another thing in the same line. The American flag is seldom seen abroad. Would it not be wise and proper for the Postmaster General to place a handsomely executed design of the most beautiful flag on earth on the five-cent stamps, which go around the world. If our navy and ma- rine commerce cannot carry our flag around the world let the five-cent postage stamp do it, JAMES T. DU BOIS. —_—_—_ Prof. Sheldon’s Ball. Prof. Sheldon’s forty-ninth annual May ball came off last Friday evening at Shel- don’s Dancing Academy, on F street near 10th, and was the usual success. The hall was crowded with the friends of the pupils, and the latter danced in a way that re- flected the greatest credit upon their teach- er. The costumes worn by the little tots were extremely beautiful and picturesque and served as a fitting adornment to the bright, happy faces. Flowers were lavishly showered on the little ones at the conclu- sion of their dances, and one and all voted the professor’s forty-ninth anniversary ball a great success. The features of the evening’s dancing was the May pole dance and the minuet der kaiserin. The former afforded an opportunity for a majority of the class to display their knowledge of nu- merous intricate steps, and wound and un- wound the ribbons with the most graceful ease and enjoyable precision, The minuet is a new tdea, introduced by the professor last winter at his academy, and comes direct from the court of Emperor William of Germany, where it is danced under the name of gavotte quadrille. The figures are exceedingly unique and pretty, and the fairy-like little children seemed perfectly at ease in their knowledge of the move- ments and graceful details. General danc- ling cloazd the eventng'a enjoyment, MR. GRESHAM OVERRULED One of His Judicial Decisions Set Aside by Supreme Court. An Interstate Commerce Commission Affair—Judge Harlan’s Opinion a Lengthy One—Dissenting Judges. A legal decision by ex-Judge (now Secre- tary) Gresham has been overruled by the United States Supreme Court. Justices Fuller, Brewer and jackson dissented. The appeal brought up for review a judgment rendered December 7, 1892, by the United States circuit court for the northern dis- trict of Illinois in the case of the interstate commerce commission against W. G. son, J. S. Keefe and W. R. Sterting, de- claring section 12 of the interstate com- merce act to be unconstitutional. The parties named, officers of the company, ap- peared as witnesses before the commission, were ordered to produce their books, re- fused to do so under advice of counsel, and the commission appecled to the court to compel them. Judge Gresham decided that “so much of section 12 as authorizes or re- quires the courts to use their process in aid of inquiries before the interstate commerce commission is unconstitutional and void.”” Justice Harlan discussed at length the Scope and purposes of the act. The judicial power of the United States, he said, ex- tends to all cases arising under the Con- stitution or iaws cf the United States, and the circuit courts of the United States are capable of exercising the power in cases of that character under the restrictions pre- scribed by Congress. The fundamental question he held to be whether the pro- ceeding was a “case” within the meaning of the Constitution. The circuit court had adjudged it not to be a “case.” The court below had held that, if the act prescribed a penalty for refusal to testify, such proceeding would constitute a case, while a civil proceeding authorized by Con- gress to compel a witness to testify would not be a case of which cognizance could be taken by any court. The test of the power of Congress was not the judgment of courts that particular means were not the best that cculd have been employed to accom- plish an end, but whether the means were unconstitutional. There could be no doubt of the power of Congress to authorize the commission to summon persons and papers relating to any matter which might be legally committed to that body for investi- ation. The appellees deny the right of the government to authorize the commission to make them testify, and the power to decide the dispute must rest somewhere. It could not be that the government was helpless in | such an emergency. As the circuit court Was competent to take jurisdiction of the parties, why was not this a case for judicial cognizance by that court? It must be @h- less Congress was without power to enforce the statute. The constitutionality of the twelfth section was affirmed and the case remended for action upon the merits of the question. Justice Brewer said that the dis- senting judges agreed with the bulk of the opinion that Congress had jurisdiction over interstate commerge, but did. not perezive its application to the partieular case under consideration. Punishment for contempt Was a power possessed by courts for ages to compel the enforcement of their decrees, judgments and orders, but now It was pro- posed tc use that power of courts to enforce the orders of administrative officers. If the power could be used for the interstate com- merce commission it could for all other ad- ministrative offices of the government. EER FORMALLY DEDICATED. Impressive Ceremonies at the New St. Church. New St. Cyprian’s Church, at 13th and C Streets southeast, a full history and descrip- tion of which was published in Saturday’s Star, was dedicated yesterday morning with a brilliant and impressive ceremony. Shortly after 10 o'clock the exercises be- gan, with the consecration by Cardinal Gib- bons, a procession of altar boys and aco- lytes, accompanied by their priests, pass- ing around the interior of the building, while the cardinal sprinkled holy water. Then Bishop O'Sullivan, who was formeriy connected with the church and who had journeyed from Mobile, Ala., in order to participate in the ceremony, tifical high mass, assisted by celebrated pon- Rev. V. F Schmitt, pastor of St. Joseph's, as first a con, and Rev. Paul Griffith, pastor of St. Augustine’s, as second deacon. An eloquent dedicatory sermon on the mission of the Catholic Church among men was preached by Rev. Father Thomas O'Gorman of the Catholic University, after which Cardinal Gibbons bestowed the pon- tifical benediction, accompanied by a short address. The music for the occasion was supplied by the colored choir of the church, under the direction of Miss Herbert, who also officiated as organist. Later in the day a collation was served the visiting clergymen by Father Matthews in his residence, adjoining the church. The May procession occurred at 2:30 o'clock, when over 200 persons were confirmed, and in the evening vesper service was preached by Father O'Sullivan. The altar was con- secrated this morning. A large number of colored Catholic or- ganizations attended the dedicatory exer- ¢ises. Among the clergymen present were Right Rev. Michael P. Sullivan of St. Pe- ter’s, Rev. John Gloyd, pastor of St. Ste- "s; Rev. W. J. Scanlon, pastor of Holy Trinity; President J. Haven Richards of Georgetown University, Rev. V. F. Schmitt, pastor of St. Joseph's; Rev. Paul Griffith, pastor of St. Augustine's Colored Church Rev. E. A. Williams of this city, Rev. W. Starr of Corpus Christi Church, Baltimore: Rev. R.

AN drugetsta, Pc neh he IE che MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES. ‘The Observances in the Churches Yes- terday of the Patriotic Woliday. As is the custom, services in observance of Memorial day were held yesterday in a number of the city churches. In nearly all the churches the discourses hed more or less reference to this day, which has heen made sacred to the patriotic dead, and in this way the recommendation contained in the general order of the commander of the Department of the Potomac that the Sun- day preceding Memorial day shold be de- voted to religious observance in the church was carried out. At the Eastern Presbyterian Church the members of George H. Thomas Post No. 15, and Farragut Post No. 10, G. A. R., and Phil. Kearney Camp, Sons of Veterans, were present at the morning service in a body. The pastor of the church, Res. Thomas Chamlers Easton, delivered a dis- course with special reference to the occa- sion, pointing out how, in all times, honor has been paid to the memories of those who have given up their lives in the defense of their country. In conclusiop, he said that | having cut off the yoke of African bondage | by @ sword of steel, they should see to it | that the yoke of gold does not hold in op- | — ~~ 3 slaves. embers of the Union Veteran I on marched to the First Presbyterian Charen ysterday afternoon, where they listened 10 interesting exercises. In front of the pulpit | Platform were five empty chairs draped j With black in memory of those comrades 'who died during the year. These chairs | Were crowned with laurels by Lieut. Col. Burlingham and a brief memorial address | Was delivered by Past Commander Fritts. | An address was delivered by Representa- Uve Marriott Brosius of Pennsylvania, en- titled, “In Honor of the Memory of Patriotic Women.” He paid a tribute to those wo- men who remained at home while their loved ones went to the field of conflict, and also to those whom he termed “the angels of the battlefield” and whose tender minis- trations in hospital and in the ficid did so | much to alleviate suffering. An address was made by Rev. Dr. Sunderland, the pas- tor of the church, whose patriotic utter- ances were listened to with appreciation, Music was rendered during the services by the male quartet of the church. Rev. Green Clay Smith, the colonel, presided. Patriotic Men. At the Metropolitan M. E. Church last evening memorial services were conducted by Rev. Dr. McCarty, the acting pastor of the church. Dr. McCarty made an appro- priate address, and was followed by Capt. McKee of the G. A.

There is a dry goods store at No. 1744 7th street northwest, which was kept by a widow named Rosa Finkiestein. The same woman is still owner of the store, but at this time she is undecided as to- whether she is the wife or widow of Addie Moskovits. Addie is a Hungarian, and about three months ago he was given em- ployment in Widow Finklestein’s store.
