John Keranginn, a Greek, who had his banana push cart on 7th street, doing business, was in Judge Kimball's court to-| @ay, on a charge of obstructing the street. “Be can't speak English,” the court was told. “He could speak all right when I arrested him.” the officer said. Then the officer gave his testimony, and Mr. Pugh remarked: “He has up $4 col- lateral.” “Let him pay a fine of $4," said the court. oS Was Too Elevated.

Covenant Sunday School. Exercises appropriate to Children’s day ‘were enjoyed yesterday afternoon by the members of the Sunday school of the Church of the Covenant and of Peck Memorial | Chapel, the latter being a mission of the | church. The children nearly filled the audi- torium of the church and joined heartily in the exercises. At the close of the services each juvenile heart was delighted with a present of a growing flowering plant. In addition to the singing, responsive readings and other exercises, short addresses were delivered by Rev. Dr. Hamlin, the pastor of the church; Gen. Edwin Stewart, the super- intendent of the Covenant school, and Mr. Hi. F. Macfarland, the superintendent of the school. The missfonary offering amounted to $116.54. ———.+_— “Midst Flowers 1d Music.” One of the most interesting dramatic en- fertainments ever given in Washington will take place tonight at the Academy of Music, when the graduating class of Martyn College will greet their friends and the pub- lc.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN A Little Girl Falls Dead on Leaving Sunday School. Dr. French Lugenbeel Becomes 1 sane and Purchases Everything in Sight—Many Other Items. Just as Mary Lucy Keefe, the fourteen- year-old daughter of Mr. Martin Keefe, an employe of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, reached the head of the two flights of stone steps lead- ing up to Trinity Sunday School yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, she reeled as if sud- denly attacked with vertigo, then seemed to lose control of her strength entirely and fell backward down the steps. There was no one behind her at the time to,break her fall, and every step seemed to be struck with greater force as the almost uncon- scious body rolied toward the bottom. When the last step on the first flight was reached the head gave a quick turn, according to one who saw, but was powerless to help, and seemed to butt the sharp corner of the red sandstone. A fracture of the skull near the eye was the immediate result. As soon as possible the unconscious body of the girl was brought into the choir room of the Sunday school and medical attendance summoned. Father Roccofort and other priests present, though, saw that death could not help from being the outcome, and the little unfortunate was anointed and given the other last rites of the church. Within twenty minutes from the fall death resulted through concussion of the brain. When she met her end Mary was on her way to see the prepared class of boys and girls make their first communion in the main church to the northwest of the Sunday schoo! building. Her amiability in life caused yesterday the expression of the deepest sorrow at her death, and all day the home of her parents was visited by a steady stream of former playmates, who came to look upon the cold features, Buying Everything. Dr. French Lugenbeel of Fairfax county, Va., a gentleman possessing a large ac- quaintance and practice, was arrested in Georgetown on Saturday for acting in a de- ranged manner. He was endeavoring to buy up the town without passing a considera- tion. He had ordered furniture enough to fill a dozen storage novses; had inspected farming implements sufficient in number to work. the farms of Kansas, and when taken possession of by a limb of the law was hunting for a stcre where he could pur- chase a dozen Amazons to be employed in entertaining his friends. The doctor was dressed in the far western fashion. The demented physician was accompanied by a little girl, who he said was to drive home numerous elephants, tigers and lions he in- tended to purchase in New York. When the doctor was taken in charge by the officers his little companion, a daughter of his housekeeper, was taken home by visiting Virginians. Dr. Lugenbeel’s home is near Langley. He is said to be a man of means. He has always been regarded as eccentric, though a man of considerable medical abil- ity. At the station the doctor objected to incarceration, though not forcibly. An Agitator. W. B. Wilson, the strike agitator, and several of his assistants in the Cumberland region were before Judges Boyd and Hoff- man on Saturday charged with contempt of court in having violated an injunction of the court restraining them from interfering with miners of Consolidation Coal Company who desired to go to work. Wilson is from Pennsylvania, his assist- ants residents of Cumberland. Some Notes. Marietta Schoenthal, a peaceable white boy, was yesterday knocked down and ren- dered unconscious through the blow of a bootblack named Edward Lane. The as- sailant was promptly arrested. At Christ Church, Detroit, on June 13, Lieut. John Davenport Barrette, third artil- lery, United States army, will be married | to Miss Katherine Biddle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Biddle, the ceremony to take place at 8 o'clock p.m. A memorial sermon of much interest was last night preached to the members of Geo. U. Morris Post, No.19, G. A. R., by the Rev. Geo. A. Nixdorf of the German Luthera! Church, corner 32d and Q streets. The se vices were concluded by the singing of “America,” the entire congregation joining in. Rev. Mr. Nixdorf next Sunday preaches his farewell pastoral sermon. The Order of American Mechanics was last evening present in a body at the St. John’s Church to listen to the last of the season’s sermons to men only. The speaker was the Rey. Mr. Wroth of the Church of the Messiah. ——— THE EPWORTH LEAGUE. Prof. C. L. M. Sites Elected General President. The Washington delegates to the third an- nual convention of the Epworth League, which closed its session at Pittsburg last evening, are returning home and they report a very delightful trip. : The convention was the largest yet held. There were 500 regular delegates from the several conferences comprising the fourth general district,but each session was largely attended by spectators, so that old city hall, in which the convention was held, was taxed to its utmost capacity. The Washington ‘contingent, by their badges, songs and general enthusiasm, made itself popular from the beginning. When it came to the election of officers for the en- | suing year the delegation was gratified to find that the first ballot showed Prof. C. M. L. Sites within a few votes of election to the presidency and Mr, W. B. Matthews of Foundry the leading candidate of the three nominees for first vice president. Miss Lou- ise C. Wilson of Metropolitan, although de- feated, also received the very complimentary vote of 117 for treasurer. As no one con- ference was entitled to more than one offi- cer, Mr’ Matthews withdrew his name for vice president and Mr. Sites was elected president by a large majority on the second ballot over Rev. Appleton Bush of the Pitts- burg conference and W. L. Woodcock of the Central Pennsylvania conference. Judge H. B. Mouiton was chairman of the nominating committee and figured promi- nently in the work of the convention. Mr. R. L. Middleton served on the committee on resolutions and Mr. W. B. Matthews on the committee on credentials. A pleasure trip down the Ohio river was a pleasurable social feature of the conven- Many themes of interest to league workers were discussed, and it is expected as a result that a new impetus will be given to church work in the Methodism not only of this city, but throughout the bounds of the fourth general conference district, Ep- worth League. a Gen. Gibbons’ Lecture. A large number of tickets have been dis- posed of for the lecture which Gen. Gib- bons will deliver at Metzerott Hall tomor- row night, and the holders are looking for- ward with pleasurable anticipation to hear the famous fighter tell about “My Life on the Plairs, and What I Know About In- cians.” The proceeds of the lecture will be devoted to a charitable purpose. ees Mite The Back Door. Henry Green is the name of a young colored man who has been visiting Jack- scn City recently. When over there, he says, he did not play policy or crap, but he did look at the races. He was in a vacant house in South Washington at an early hour yesterday morning, and when Police- man Anderson entered the house, Henry went out the back way. But he did not go far before the officer overtook him and He is now serving a month on the farm. Ba ERY Ce Marriage Licenses.

Yesterday was a great day for the alleged industrial aggregations now camping in and around Washington. At the camp of the Commonweal of Christ out near Highlands @ barroom was running full blast, and to- ward evening a number of men got very drunk and boisterous and spread terror among the decent people whose curiosity had overcome their good judgment and caused them to visit the encampment. A free fight between the commonwealers and a gang of tough characters from Washing- ton was narrowly averted by Jesse Coxey ordering free admission to the grounds, and the railroad officials were compelled to put many of the rowdies off the trains between Highlands and this city, because of dis- orderly conduct and a refusal to pay their fares. The entire respectable element living near Highlands is highly indignant, and vigorous measures are on foot, so it is un- derstood, to compel the squatting industrials to either preserve better order hereafter or feel the weight of the various statutory and other laws that are recognized in that sec- tion of Maryland. The Boston crowd of socialists occupied Typographical Hall last night, together with several scores of curi- ous people, and listened to Morrison I. Swift praise professional tramps and set them on a pinnacle higher than that occupied by statesmen and warriors, as well as to the stereotyped effort of “General” Mike D. Fitzgerald in behalf of socialism, One hun- dred and twenty-five members of ‘‘General” Frye’s “industrial’’ army, which left Cali- fornia March 16, and has beaten its way across the continent by stealing freight trains and other cqually as praiseworthy means, reached Baltimore yesterday. This crowd will start for the Coxey camp at Highlands today and expect to remain in this vicinity until the latter part of June, when, as the leaders aver, a big gathering of “industrials” from all over the country will be held in this city. The men are under command of a man named Brennan, and their orator of the Carl Browne order re- joices at present in the name of ‘Major’ George E, Ward. HOWARD IVERSITY, Rev. Dr. Rankin Delivered the Bacca- laureate Sermon Yesterday. ‘The graduating exercises of the law de- partment of the Howard University will be held this evening at 8 o'clock at the First Congregational Church. Senator George F. Hoar of Massachusetts will make the ad- dress before the awarding of diplomas. Yesterday afternoon Rev. Dr. J. E. Ran- kin, president of the university, delivered his annual baccalaureate sermon to the graduates in the chapel of the university. There was a very large congregation of students and their friends to hear the part- ing words to the class from the brilliant head of this successful institution. Dr. Rankin’s sermon was an able and eloquent effort. He took the ground that a young man who leaves a Christian home to enter a Christian college cannot be without his losses. But it teaches him to be more in- dependent and self-reliant, and to substi- tute his own Christian living for that which came from the atmosphere of his home. Many a man, said he, never knows his de- | pendence upon Christian surroundings until he comes to leave them. Then he went on to point out clearly and convincingly how much depends upon religious training and a Christian character in the life of every man. The choir, composed of Messrs. Turner, Jones, A. M. Clark, Ryland, A. T. Clark, | Redding, Buckner and Harris, students, dered a number of hymns composed by Dr. Rankin and the services closed with the benediction, UNIVERSITY OF A Number of Local Alumni to Att Commencement Exercises. Vice President Stevenson, accompanied by @ large delegation of local alumni of the University of Virginia, are expected to go to Charlottesville the last of next week to be preseat at the commencement exercises of the university.

Where They Will Come From to Dec- orate Soldi Graves. All arrangements are about completed for the celebration of Decoratiom day in this city, and the chances are that if the weather is at all favorable there will be an unusual turnout of people to visit the cemeteries where lie buried the nation’s dead. Flowers are very numerous this year, and the various committees having the mat- ter in charge are meeting with encouraging success in securing the wherewithal to deco- rate the graves. In a recent communication to The Star a well-known citizen suggests that it would be a very pretty idea and at the same time one that would instil the principles of pa- triotism If the school children were asked to contribute flowers for Decoration day. In point of fact, this sort of thing ts really done every year. At some of the cemeteries the posts of the G. A. R. which have charge of the ceremonies there seek the active co- operation of the children in the public schools, and a not inconsiderable part of the flowers used are brought by the little ones, who also share in the musical and responsive exercises. Many of the schools have already received invitations to par- ticipate next Wednesday, and in some in- stances juvenile organizations will march in line with the veterans to decorate the graves of men who died for their country before these children were born, a neetncion A GOOD WORK. The Hope ai Help Mission Offictally Commended. Mr. Jchn Tracy, superintendent of chari- ties for the District, has written a letter to Commissioner Ross, highly commeutling the Hope and Help Mission, which is asking special donations of clothing, money, ete., teday in support of its work. Mr. Tracy says: “The institution is highly deserving of encouragement and support, and that the best practicable use is made of inadequate accommodations. The establishment is monaged with economy, energy and devo- tion to a much needed work. Its expenses are light, and the only salary paid is fifteen dollars per month to a competent matron. are uever closed, but also for their children. In three such cases, good homes were recently obtained for mother and child. This mission is not an experiment, but an institution of merit proven by long trial, and filling a special need for refuge for a most unfortunate class in the heart of the city, it necessarily relieves the criminal courts of much work by preventing crime through despair. It is to be relied on that whatever additional means may be allowed to this most excel- lent charity will be wisely expended to the advantage of tne community. ‘This testimonial to the value of the self- sacrificing work of the Hope and Help Mission from the commissioner of charities must be gratifying to the board of man- agers and a guarantee to the public that all donations will be wisely expended. Mrs. L, D. La Fetra, president of the board of trustees, or Mrs. M. E. Cathlin, secretary, will acknowledge all gifts. —_— Observance at Culpeper. Mr. John C. S.

W. DANENHOWER DEAD. The End of a Useful and Honorable Career. At an early hour this morning Mr. Will- iam Weaver Danenhower breathed his last at his residence, North Carolina avenue and 6th street southeast. While the news of his death will come with a sense of per- scnal loss to a large circle who knew and loved the deceased, it will not be received with great surprise, for those who were near to Mr. Danenhower were aware that he was gradually failing. In fact, since the accident of two years ago, when he broke one of the bones in his leg, he has not enjoyed his usual health. For more than thirty years Mr. Danenhower has been a resident of this city. He was identi- fied with its interests, and his high char- acter and his general popularity made the influence of his presence and the value of his advice sought for on occasions of public moment. He was born in Philadelphia on the 22d of December, 1820, and his family had made that city, or rather Germantown, their home for many years. In 1819 Mr. Danen- hower left Philadelphia and went to Chi- cago as the representative of the publish- ing hous? of Harpers. He became inter- ested in politics and took such an active end prominent part in the first Lincoln campaign. that after the election he was invited by Mr. Lincoln to Washington, and Was appointed acting fourth auditor and chief clerk. After holding this position for a short time, he resigned and went into the claim business in this city. In 1 in connection with his son, Washington Dan- enhower, he engaged in the real estate business, from which he retired in the year 1888. He has lived a Iffe of leisure ever since, having amassed a competence, his prop- For a number of. years he lived in the old Chain House, which is now the Fredonia Hotel, and which was his property.

Marteau is so pleasantly remembered from his last concert, a few weeks ago, that a crowded house will doubtless greet him. He will be ably assisted by Signor Guiseppe Campanari, baritone, who today ranks as the best singer on the lyric stage. The Planist is M. Aime Lachaume. The pro- gram is of rare excellence, and an evening of great pleasure is in store for all who hear the concert. The Juvenile Pirates.—On Saturday after- noon the juvenile company sung the second act of the “Pirates of Penzance” at Al- baugh’s Opera House and were remarkably successful. and the applause was frequent and em- phatic.

The Washington Road Club gives an ex- cursion this evening to Marshall Hall for the benefit of the cycle track fund. The boat leaves at 6:30 o'clock. Capt. Blake has added everything that is possible to make Decoration day a pleasant one at Marshall Hall. The steamer Mac- alester will ieave at 10 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 P.m., and the River Queen at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. On Wednesday, June 20, the Washington Athletic Club will give their second annual excursion to Marshall Hall. The occasion will be a very interesting one, id will be made a field day of athletic sports. All sorts of contests, feats of strength and skill are being arranged for. Among other things the bowling team of the club chal- lenges any team in the District to roll with them at Marshall Hall on the day of the excursion. All challenges should be ad- dressed to Dr. R. A. Pyles, Anacostia, D.C. Capt. Randall will have two big steamers on Decoration day to carry the holiday crowd down to his beautiful resort. The Samuel J. Pentz and Harry Randall will make five trips to River View, and as many returning. If the crowd becomes an over- flow the “Mary” will be placed in commis- sion. River View on that day will be made especially attractive. Dancing wiil continue all day and evening, with Esputa's fine band in attendance. As in the past, River View is the Mecca for a large clientile to spend the national day down the river. SSS SEs A Lecture on “Reincar jion.”” Mr. Claude Falls Wright, who for three years and up to the time of her death was private secretary to the famous Madam Blavatsky, will lecture on “Reincarnation” at Metzerott Music Hall tomorrow (Tves- day) night at 8 o'clock. The lecture will be free, and the public are invited. The Theos- ophists and their friends are arranging to procure a large hall for next Sunday night, when Mr. Wright has been requested to give a lecture on “The Life and Work of Blavatsky.” As his style of delivery is very pleasing and his voice good, his treat- ment of the subject promises to be very interesting. The body of a drowned man found in the East river, at New York, last Wednes- day, has been identified as John Kingston of Washington, D, C. That Tired Feeling means danger. It is a serious condition and will lead to disastrous results unless it is overcome at once. It is a sure sign that the blood is im- poverished and impure. The remedy is found in Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which makes rich, healthy blood, and thus gives strength and elasticity to the muscles, vigor to the brain and health and vitality to every part of the body. Hood's Sarsaparilla Purifies the Blood. “I bave been afflicted with dyspepsia for years, also Salt Rbeum (inherited). About four years since I had La Grippe in a severe form which left me in a very bad state of health. Roth my friends and myself feared I would not recover from the effects of it.
