To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have been interested in seeing the let- ters and editorial referring to Mr. Lamp- ton’s idea of printing the flag on the two and five-cent stamps, and beg permission to add my views on that subject. Why not hhave the flag on every stamp and have the design on each stamp to be the same? No country has ever issued a series of this de- sign, although many bear the coats-of- arms. On the new stamps of Hawaii Presi- dent Dole’s portrait is draped in the nation- al ensign, which is the nearest approach to @ reproduction of a flag on any stamps. When let the United States take the initia- tive in issuing a series of unique design— patriotic, artistic and educational—and we May expect that other nations will adopt this practical and appropriate suggestion. Need we remind Mr. Lampton that tive will not carry a letter to the “ends of the him embrace the whole series and the stamps of the United will stand first among those of the ‘world. The two-cent stamp might be print- ed in the colors red, white and blue for do- mestic use as an appropriate variety. ‘The National Geographic Society. ‘The centenary, or one hundredth regular meeting of the National Geographic So- ciety, is to be held Friday, June 1, 1804, at 8 D.m., in the lecture hall of the Columbian University. One of the subjects for discus- sion will be “The Past and Future of Our Society,” and the following, among other Speakers, are expected to be present: The president, Gardiner G. Hubbard; Bishop John J. Keane, Representative Joseph H. Outhwaite, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator C. F. Manderson, Mr. C. D. Wal- cott and Gen. A. W. Greely. eens Didn’t Come Back. Yesterday John M. Pierrard, a hotel man, sent Charles Harris, a young colored serv- ant, out for a box of cigars. He handed Charles $2 therefor. Unlike the cat, Mr. Harris did not come back. Later in the day he was discovered in the act of taking & boat for Norfolk, Va. This morning he Was charged with embezzlement. He told Judge Miller that his employer owed him that amount, and he therefore claimed that he took simply what was his own. court could not see it in that way, and sent Harris to jail to await the action of the grand jury. ——>__ Has Disappeared. The police have been requested to look out for Mary Zell, a young white woman, who left her home about 9 o'clock yester- day morning, declaring that she intended making away with herseif. The young woman lived at 19 Massachu- setts avenue northwest, and is described a3 being about twenty-four years of age, five feet five inches in height, with black ‘hair, dark eyes and complexion. When she left home she wore a dark brown dress, with yellow spots. As the woman is said to be slightly demented, it is feared that she may have committed suicide. Nothing has been of her since she disappeared yester- ——_.—— Gone to the Penitentiary.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Bsnewed Need of Better Regulations in Regard to Marriages. Few Arrivals of Coal on the Canal— The Strike Prevents Opera- tions—Other News. Another evidence of the necessity of hav- ing some definite and strict law governing marriages in the District of Columbia came to light yesterday. About one month ago two young people from the vicinity of Langley, Va., the son and daughter of well- to-do farmers, in order to overcome the op- position of parents to their marriage, who objected because they were but fifteen and eighteen years of age, came to Washington and applied to the clerk of the court for a license. For fear that their intention might be discovered by their parents at the last moment, the youthful Virginians gave as- sumed names. They then went to the par- sonage of a Lutheran minister, and, in spite of the youth of the couple, the absence of parental consent and witn and the fact that they were utterly unknown, a fe ceremony was performed, and a certificate made out In the names given by the young people to the license clerk. They then departed for thelp respective homes, believing that they lawfully married. Yesterday the daughter confessed the ceremony to her father, and he, in order to convice himself that all was ht, took the youthful pair to the home of the minis- ter to get a verbal acknowledgment of the marriage. The minister refused to say positively that he had performed the ceremony. The certificate looked like his, he said, but the couple he could not identify. He was not Th z the wh asperated, e father, somewhat ex: ited, gave the minister‘a forcible talking to on the subject of marrying indiscriminately and keeping no reliable record of ceremonies, then escorted the young people to the license clerk’s office, secured the written permission of the law to have the girl and boy married in their own names, and wound up at the home of a Methodist minister, where a binding ceremony was performed with the consent of the parent and in the presence of other witnesses, Few Roats Arriving. At the Chesapeake and Ohio canal office this morning The Star was informed that but four and five laden coal boats a day are coming down the waterway. Two of these regularly stop at Williamsport and discharge their cargoes for the benefit of the Western Maryland railroad. The others are coming to Meredith, Winship and Com- pany, at Georgetown. The Consolidation Coal Company, the only one operating in the troubled region at the head of the canal, is daily mining 2,500 tons, but the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, the largest stockholder, is taking possession of all the black fuel mined, with the exception of about 500 tons, which are allowed to go to old customers merely to keep them.sThe troubles are expected to cease this week, as it has been decided to put out and replace all objectionable operators by the first of next week. The strikers will have until Saturday to make up their minds, either to go back to work or leave the region. Judges Boyd and Hoffman of Cumberland, before whom Wilson and three of his assist- ant strike agitators are being tried for contempt of court, in having disregarded certain instructions issued to prevent in- terference with miners, will give their de- cision in the case tomorrow morning at 10 oclock. Counsel for the defendants have argued that it is not only lawful for leading miners or those interested in their welfare to endeavor to improve their condition through strikes, but highly commendable. Their movements, it was said, at all times been quiet and orderly. A New Building. Mr. P. Dugan's public house, 3285 M street, formerly known as “Dick Walker’s Tavern,” a famous résort for confederates during the war, and a private hospital where many a wearer of the gray was pro- vided, in times of necessity, with medicine, shelter and food and clothing through love for the southern cause, is being removed, to make way for the erection of a more modern structure. Foley & Co. will coy- struct the new house from plans prepared by Architect J. H. McIntyre. The old tav- ern will be hereafter used as the back build- ing to the new structure. Notes. A well-dressed young man a couple of days ago hired a team from Gibson & Pur- sell of Falls Church, and, up to date, has forgotten to return it. The police have been notified in the hope that they may get the chance to jog the young fellow’s mem- ory on the subject. The police here have been notified to keep a sharp lookout for Jasper Meredith, a col- ored man who escaped night before last from the Rockville jail, and is believed to be in this vicinity. Edward Carter, a fifteen-year-old colored boy, has left his home in Cherry Grove, Alexandria county, Virginia, in order to be free from parental government. If sighted by the police he will be returned to his home, the Virginia authorities having re- quested Georgetown to assist in reinstating him on the home place. _ Ignorance of District Affairs. To the Editor of The Evening Sthr; It is surprising how ignorant of District affairs people generally throughout the country are. For instance, a resident of the District sojourning at one of the prominent springs in Virginia writes as follow: “I have been edifled and amused to hear comments and questions here pertaining to District affairs. A Virginia county judge observed to me in a querying tone: ‘You have no taxes in the District, I believe.’ I endeavored to set him straight, and I am not sure that he fully believed what I said. He certainly expressed great surprise. An- other, a member of Congress, did not know that we had ever had a territorial form of government, and thought the general gov- ernment had always paid one-half of the taxes. He seemed anxious to inform him- self; agreed with me that it was a great wrong to disfranchise a quarter million of people, and said he would be very glad to receive some ‘tracts’ which I promised to send him. I shall want you to give me a full outfit, particularly on the point of the relationship existing between the District ond the general government. You see, I do a little missionary work occasionally, even when on the sick list.” Truly, there is missionary work for the beard of trade, and our citizens generally, and, if necessary, I suggest that a lecturer be employed to go about the country and enlighten the public on this subject. A CITIZEN. seein Church Real Estate. Among the real estate transfers recorded yesterday was one from Thos. A. Clements to the trustees of Trinity M. E. Church, formerly known as the Fourth Street Church, of 3,860 square feet of land on Sth street southeast, facing on the public square at the intersection of North Carolina and Pennsylvania avenues. The property is the east half of original lot 12 in square 820 and @ part of lot 13 in the same square. The consideration was not given. John R. Wright and others, trustees of the Local Preachers and Exhorters’ Asso- ciation ef the Methodist Episcopal Church, conveyed tu the trustees of Langdon M. E. Church part of lot % in block 22 of Langdon Park, fronting fifty feet on Emporia street. Consideration rot given. —_— Claim Misrepresentation. In a bill in equity filed yesterday after- noon by Arthur C. Moses and W. W. Flem- ming against Richard K. Tyler, the com- plainants seek to have set aside certain tr: fers made to them by Tyler of stock. The stock consisted of several hundred shares in the American y. The company was formed, it is e purpose of introducing’ auto- es for the protection of tele- from lightning and fire. It js stated t the complainants were led té believe about 300 of the devices were in use here and a number nual rental of $1 were sold to the gorplainants, and they pray that the hase money be refunded because of alleged misrepresentation re- specting the shares. ——— To Set Aside a Sale. A bill in equity has been filed by Wm. E. and Clarence LeRoy Palmer against Thos. M. Fields, P. V. DeGraw and J. P. Gregg Custis, to set aside a recent sale of real state on Maryland avenue northeast. The property was part of the estate of the late Geo. W. Greason, and the complainants contend that the price obtained—$1.95 a square foot—was too small. tomatic Protector | MOSKOVITS STILL WANTED. Neither He Nor His Wife's Money and Jewelry Has Turned Up. “Mrs. Rosa Moskovits, who is anxious to learn whether or not she is again a widow, was the first caller at police headquarters this morning. She was dressed in black, but wore a purple flower on her hat. Her husband of ten weeks disappeared last Wednesday, as stated in The Star at the time, and his friend, Myra Siegel, has been at the store of the missing man’s wife more than once since her husband left. Mrs. Moskovits was at headquarters this morn- ing for the purpose of accompanying the officers to Mount Vernon to have exhumed the body of the man found in the river last Friday, two days after Moskovits disap- Pdoskovits is about twenty-seven years old, while his wife ts about ten years his senior. She had a dry goods store at 1744 7th street and was doing a good business, when several of her countrymen who met her were anxious to marry her. She says that Siegel was one of the men who proposed to her, but she says he is a mar- ried man and has seven children in Ger- many. Last Saturday, she says, Siegel came to her place and sald he would return the missing man for $100, and at the same time, she says, he wanted to succeed Moskovits and take charge of the business. “Siegel was jealous,” said the wife this morning. a Mrs. Moskovits ig anxious about her jew- elry and $200 takerl away by her husband, and she is anxious to have somebody ar- rested in order to get some definite informa- tion concerning the husband and jewelry, if possible. Mrs. Moskovits changed her mind several times about going to Mount Vernon, but this morning she was extremely anxious concerning the dead man at Mount Vernon, and said she would go down and have Spe body exhumed, as she felt certain that the body was that of her husband. She felt sure that her husband had not sailed for Bremen, as had been stated, because she had seen persons who saw him after the departure of the steamer. Detective Sergaant Robert Johnson and Detective Boardman went with the dis- tressed woman from headquarters and boarded the police boat for Mount Vernon. Addie Moskovits, the missing husband, as already stated, is twenty-seven years old. He is a Hungarian, and Mrs. Moskovits knew him only two weeks before they were married. During this time, she said, Siegel also called to see her, and when he heard of the proposed marriage he was very jealous and did. considerable talking. But Mrs. Finkelstein, the widow, whose first husband died seven years ago, was certain that Siegel was married, and so she chose Mos- kovits as her companion for life. “I think he was persuaded to do what he did,” she said to a Star reporter this morn- ing. “He took my watch and chain and two rings, one of them my wedding ring.” She sald that Moskovits also took a white dress belonging to her. According to her way of describing him he had gray hair, black eyes and mustache, and was about five feet eight inches tall. He was not an urusually bright man, and she knows he would never have done what he did unless put up to it by some other person. There was a dark spot under his right eye and his arms from his elbow down were thickly covered with long black hair. Ree as THE HUMAN BODY. Physicians Say It Can Be Materially Improved Upon. The general sessions of the congress of American physicians and surgeons began at Metzerott Hall yesterday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by the presi- dent of the congress, Dr. Alfred L. Loomis. The session was under the auspices of the Association of American Anatomists, and the particular subject for discussion was “Morphology as a Factor in the Study of Diseases.” The congress was formally opened by the chairman of the executive committee, Dr. Landon C. Gray of New York city, and in a brief address he introduced Dr. Samuel 8, Adams of this city, chairman of the com- mittee of arrangements, who outlined for the benefit of the congress the plans which had been prepared for the entertainment of the members. The opening paper in the discussion for the afternoon was presented by Dr. Harri son Allen, fessor of anatomy in the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. Dr. Allen took the ground that the anatomy of civilized man differs materially from that of uncivilized man. Perhaps the best single conclusion to be drawn from morphology in the study of disease is its value to humanity. The scien- tifle fae of race in connection with dis- eased action is almost &n unknown field. When this comparative phase of anatomy shall have been formulated we shall. for the first time, have a reasonable nope that the subject of human decline, the geographical study of diseases, and, indirectly, the histcry and destiny of man himself may be in shape for elucidation. He was followed by Dr. Thomas Dwight, professor of anatomy in the Harvard Medi- cal School, who discussed the subject gener- ally, and Dr. Frank Baker, professor of anatomy in the Georgetown University, who expressed the opinion that morphology had thrown light upon a confused variety of sub- jects connected with the domain of medicine. It is, he said, a growing science, one des- tined to a great future, promising much for the illustration of the highest problems of medicine. Dr. Burt G. Wilder of Cornell University concluded the discussion. He considered the human body as a structure that is by no means complete, and he argued that it was the duty of anatomists to improve the hu- man body by eliminating what he consider- ed a death trap, the appendix to the human intestines. After discussing appendicitis briefly, Dr. Wilder averred that morphology should be made a subject of common school education, and predicted that it would not be many years before most children would know fully as much of anatomy as is now possible to be obtained by the average phy- sictan. —_——_—. For Charity. Memorial Chapel, corner 5th and P streets, was the scene last night of a delightful musical and literary entertainment given by Charity Circle, King’s Daughters, to assist @ peor little crippled boy who needs surgical attention, but who would probably never get it unaided. The program opened with a vocal solo by Mrs. Frank Roach; then followed a recitation by Miss Effie S. Perry, a cornet solo by Mr. Tracy, vocal solo by Miss Eva Terry, whistling solo by Miss Sarah Points, banjo solo by Miss Mary E. Drown, vocal solo by Miss Sadie Drown, piano solo by Miss Grace De Land, vocal duet by Misses Sardo and Terry, plano solo by Miss Minnie Brower; then followed an amusing one-act comedy, “A Precious Pickle,” the cast including Misses Elsie and Olivia Moore, Carrie and Bertie Sardo, Miss Amy Medford, Miss Nellie Hancock and Miss Annie Burrows. — City Post Office Bids.

Sorrell, a middle-aged white man, was sent to jail this morning for making threats against his wife, Belle Sor- rel. Mrs. Sorrell told Judge Miller that they had been married fifteen years, and that John had abused her for just about the same length of time. She supported herself and children, while Mr. Sorrell spent what little he made in whisky. Last night John W. had, after surrounding several drinks, threatened to cut her with a knife. Mr. Sorrell denied everything, but the court decided that he would have to give bonds of $100 or spend twenty days in jail. John did not produce the required “cen- tury” and therefore went down, Samat an Back in His Old Place. Mr. E. W. Oyster has tendered his resig- nation as special examiner in the patent office, and yesterday he assumed charge as foreman of the specification room of the government printing office, which position he held under Mr. Benedict's former admin- istration, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Building Closed. The District building has been closed to- day. Tardy taxpayers will have to be on hand early Thursday morning to escape the Ity of two per cent, which will be levied on all delinquent taxpayers June 1. Here on Thursday, A telegram has begn received’ from Com- missioner Ross stating he would arrive in Washington tomorrow. He is at Rome, N. Y., visiting his father, who has been iil. Driving on 15th Street. Tyo important changes have been made in the police regulations. ‘The first 1s an amendment to section 1, article 10, and reads as follows: “Provided that no horse shall be driven nor vehicle moved faster than a walk on 15th street between Pennsylvania avenue and New York avenue northwest, or across street intersections where street car lines intersect. Section 4, article 10, is also amended to read: ‘Vehicles shall not be al- lowed to stand or be driven two or more abreast on either side of streets upon which @re double street car tracks, unless the Froadway is more than 5U feet wide.’ A New Police Regulation. In view of the decision of the judge of the Police Court in the case of Plumber J.J, McCann, who engaged in business withoutsfirst obtaining a license, Attorney Thomas has submitted the following addi- tional séction to be added to the police regulations covering the case: “Any per- son or persons violating any of the forego- ing regulations, for which a penalty is not hereinbefore provided, shall, on conviction in the Police Court, be fined not less than nor more than $100 for each and every offense, to be recovered as other fines and penaities are recovered. a AMUSEMENTS, Albaugh’s.—-“Pinafore,”” Gilbert and Sulli- van's prettiest opera, has attested Mr. Stra- kosch’s wisdom of originality by drawing crowded houses at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House during the present week. Following “Pinafore,” next week Audran’s charming “Olivette” will be the attraction, with Miss Laura Millard as the countess. As jn his| Previous productions, Manager Strakosch proposes to place “Olivette” before the pub- lic as closely as possible after the original Production many years ago. New scenery {8 now being painted, and handsome cos- tumes have been ordered from Philadelphia, “Olivette’ is a musical gem. Its produc- tion a number of years back met with im- mense financial success, and since then it has been one of the most popular of comic operas. The thread of the plot is easily fol- lowed, while the music is bright and catchy. The dialogue sparkles with wit, while the action and ensemble work is quick and strong. In addition to Miss Millard, the cast will embrace Mamie Gilroy, Louisa Moore, Alice Hosmer, Willett Seamen, Fred Huntley, and others from New York, who have been especially engaged for this occa- sion. Seats for “Olivette” will be on sale at the box office tomorrow morning. At last night's performance of “Pinafore,” Mr. Huntley sang “Ralph,” and was an improvement upon Mr. Laurent. He acted and sang with much spirit. Miss Mamie Gllroy’s hornpipe was obliged to be repzat- ed, and Mr. George Broderick received a perfect ovation for his excellent singing of “He is an Englishmas.” Miss Millard was effective as “Josephine,” and Miss Hosmer’s “Buttercup” was an artistic plece of work. The audience was large and distinguished. Sir Julian Pauncefote and a party occupied a box and the Chinese and other foreign le- gations were well represented. Academy of Music.—“The Three Dukes,” | the comic opera written by Messrs. Arthur Percy and W. H. Harris, two young Wash- ingtonians, will be seen at the Academy of Music tonight and for the remainder of the week. This opera was successfully pre- sented at the National Theater in February, and its excellent music and bright libretto were highly complimented. It is now given by a cast that embraces Misses Dorothy Byrd Rogers, Miss Bertha Lincoin, Miss Alice Sullivan, Messrs Felix Mahoney, W. Hi, Harris, Howes Roberts and others, and a chorus numbering fifty well-trained voices. It is understood that a large num- ber of seats have been sold for all the per- formances, and that the enterprise promises to be in every way successful. There was a matinee this afternoon, which gave evi- dence of the good work that those who at- tend these performances may be sure of witnessing. The series is given for the benefit of the charity fund of John A. Raw- Ins Post, G. A. R., and this of itself should rongly to all the veterans in the Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—A special en- gagement: has been made with Dr. and Eva Eddy, the world’s greatest mediums and mind readers, who will give one of their illustrated lectures on spiritualism, also display their wonderful powers at the Ly- |ceum on next Sunday night, June 3. Upon this occasion Dr. and Eva Eddy will in- troduce some new experiments never be- fore given on any public stage. Among many tests they will cause a table to rise and float in midair, spirit hands and faces are plainly seen, flowers are brought and passed to the audience, etc. after which a clear and satisfactory expose will be made. Skeptics are especially invited to oc- cupy front seats. Manager Kenan’s Benefit.—The program arranged for the benefit performance to Manager Eugene Kernan at Kernan’s Ly- ceum Theater next Monday night contains many novel features. Nothing has been left undone to make it an ideal variety en- tertainment, and so far as talent ts con- cerned there is every assurance that the effort will be crowned with success. The | cake walk, under the direction of Walter | Tate, will be an additional feature, which is calculated to prove interesting. | Artists | of acknowledged versatility are on the bill, including many professionals, as well as amateurs. Besides many interesting spe- cfalties there will be several scientific glove contests, introducing Charles Holcomb, Young Savi, Seymour, Hall, Howard and others. Reserved seat tickets are now on sale at the Lyceum box office. Willard Hall.—A smali, but very appre- ciative audience saw Mrs. Poesche’s new comedy, “I Am Engaged.” The players, with one or two exceptions, played their parts exceedingly well, and on the “pias | everything went very smoothly.

BLOOD PURIFIED AND SIGHT RESTORED BY HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA. “Three years ago Clarence, three rears old, was taken with scrofula on the head, which gradually spread until it got into his eyes and he became almost blind. We did everything that could be done with the assistance of a skilled physician, | but nothing did him any good.
