LATE SPORTING NEWS| OUTPLAYED BY BOSTO) The Champions Take the Odd Game Without Trouble. Esper began pitching for Schmelz’s men Saturday, but was soon relieved by Mercer. Stivetts occupfed the box for the visitors during the entire game. After the third inning it was clearly seen that the victory fid not belong to Washington. Tommy Tucker and the majority of the Boston layers made themselves heard at all times and continually disputed the decisions of Umpire Hartley. Cartwright, Hasamaear, Abbey and Selbach led in the batting. The score: BOSTON. WASHINGTON. R. Hl. 0. AE. R. 8.0.

Washington has released Short Stop Joe Sullivan to the Philadelphia club, the price paid being, it is said, $1,S0u. Abuse by the press and the bleachers has driven Jim O'Rourke from his position as umpire. He was a thoroughly conscien-| tious umpire, but did not have the hide of @ rhinoceros over his sensitiveness. That umpire, whose work in his best days has never been equaled, the former man- ager of the Washington base ball club, | John H. Gaffney, has been apointed to} succeed O'Rourke.

Plamber K: to Test the Legality of Mis Arrest. Themas W. Kerr, through his attorneys, Messrs. John J. Weed and J. Coleman, to- day filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus against Sumuel B. Kendig, bailiff of the Police Court, charging the latter with unlawful detention. The petitioner states that he has been en- gaged in business as a practical and mas- ter plumber in this city for seventeen years; that on June 19 he made proper application for permission to make the necessary ex- cavation for the purpose of repairing a sewer at 1273 25th street, but the permission was refused. Nevertheless, Mr. Kerr went, ahead with the work, and was arrested by Officer O’Brien, and later given into the custody of Bailiff Kendig, charged with making an excavation without a permit. Thinking the arrest, detention and im- prisonment are illegal, Mr. Kerr wishes the court to decide the matter, and therefore made application for the writ of habeas corpus, which Judge McComas ordered to returnable tomorrow morning at 1U velock in Criminal Court No. 2. ———. STRANGE CONDUCT. Serious'Charges Aguinst Policemen in Kelly’s Pre it. In Judge Miller’s court, in a few days, two policemey in Lieut. Kelly’s precinct will be called upon to answer charges of assault and violation of the police ordi- nances. James W. Barres of 1319 Vermont venue, drummer for a wholesale liquor es- tablishment, swore out the warrants, charg- img Officers Coghill and Gibson with as- sault, and also charging the latter with keepirg a dangerous dog. According to the side of the case repre- sented by Barnes, he was on a cable car one day last week, when he overheard two men engaged in a conversation about the storage of dynamite in a house near the Capitol, where there is a saloon. Thinking some harm might be done the saloonkeeper, e3 called on him and related what he had heard. But this act of friendliness Was not received in the light he intended, and a war of words ensued. Policeman Coghill appeared upon the scene, and, Barnes cha arrested him at the re- quest of Mr. Hayes, proprietor of the place, and locked him up. He protested against being arrested without a warrant, so he charges, but his protestations were of no avail, for he was placed behind the bars. Then he had another unpleasant exper- lence w! ae was about to be released. Policeman Gibson, he claims, was the officer who was on duty when he was taken from the call and shown to the office, where he was to sign a receipt for articles taken from him when he was arrested. Once more, so he charges, he made anx- fous inquiries as to the reasons for his ar- rest, and Officer Gibson, in substance, told bim if he was not satisfied he would lock him up again and give him another dose of imprisonment in a police cell. And so they Started again for the cell room. On the way back Barnes charges that Officer Gib- son called a dog, and the animal bit him on the leg. After being thus bitten he was put in the cell and compelled to remain there until the arrival of his wife and a police official, when he was released. At police headquarters it was stated that Barnes was arrested on a charge of intoxi- ‘The warrants were sent out today, the case may come up for trial in dudge Miller's court tomorrow. —_———— ‘THR PONT-X-PRIDD MINE DISASTER 3 Mae Caused the Death of Two Hi Grea and Fifty-One Men. further exploration of the Pont-y- pas mine, in Wales, in which an ex- ploston occurred Saturday, as telegraphed to ‘The Star, has shown that the disaster was beyond anything imagined.

A young man named James Kelly was @rowned in Rock creek near Chevy Chase yesterday afternoon. He went out on the electric cars yesterday and went in swim- ming with his companions, who went out with him. Being unable to swim he was drowned, the water being deeper than he anticipated. The deceased was twenty- eight years old, and formerly lived in Pitts- IN MUSICAL CIRCLES Anton Seidl to Give a Series of Concerts Here. “Jack the Giant Killer” to Be Seen at Albaugh’s—St. John’s Choir’s Annual Outing. Mr. Chas. A. Snow, who has just con- cluded piloting the Howe-Lavin Concert Company, passed through Washington Sat- urday, and in the course of conversation stated that a number of New York capital- | ists have agreed to back Seidl and his or- chestra for the next season in the same way as the Boston Symphony Orchestra has been backed by Col. Higginson. This places the Seidl organization upon a permanent foot- ing, and there will be a distinctive series of concerts given in all the large cities next winter, the same as Is given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. One of the results of this arrangement will be to bring the Seidl Orchestra to this city for a series of con- certs, the first of which will be given on October 21. The gvod work that was done by this orchestra when it came here last winter is well remembered, and every lover of music will welcome the information that it Is to be heard here next season. “Jack the Glant Killer,” the juvenile opera by Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard, which was so successfully given at the Cen- tral High School last spring, will, it is un- derstood, be presented at Albaugh’s Opera House at a matinee the day after Thanks- giving. Those who saw this opera when it was given by the pupils of the Phelps School building will be glad to know that it is to be presented on a large stage and with all the accessories of scenery and stage proper- ties. It is stated that the chorus will be augmented to about 200. Prof. Howard has been retouching the opera and has written in a secondary part for the chorus voices, which will make the choruses much more attractive. As was stated at the time It was first produced, this opera is one of the best compositions for purely juvenile voices that has ever been heard here. The performance at the opera house will be given for the benefit of the Teachers’ Aid and Annuity Fund and will be under the personal direc- tion of the composer. The Washington Mask and Wig Club tn- tends next season to give a series of per- formances, which, it is believed, will eclipse even the excellent representation of “The Mikado,” which this organization gave for the benefit of the Ladies of the Loyal Le- gion. The success of those performances developed the fact that Washington has among its male musicians as much musical and acting ability as is found in the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, and there is no reason why the Washington Mask and Wig Club | should not be fully as popular and fully as successful as is the Philadelphia organiza- tion, which makes an annual visit here and always plays to crowded houses. This com- munity will always encourage home talent when its ability ts fully demonstrated. In the notice of the Bischoff concert credit for an excellent contralto solo was | given to Miss “Reu” Reuckert. The young lay’s neme should have been Miss Blanche L. Rueckert. The work that she did on that occasion indicates not only the posses- sion of a voice of good quality and range, but the result of careful study and an in- telligent comprehension of the selection in- terpreted. Mr. Eugene Stevers, whose work with the Choral Society been so valuable and efficient, and who fs coming to be rec- ognized as a bass singer of excellent prom- ise, has been engaged in the choir of the Church of the Reformation. Miss Atlee, whose solo at the musicale of Mrs. H. H. Mills was so well given, and who was one of the cast at the original presentation of the opera of the “Three Dukes,” has become the leading soprano of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The Misses Leezh, who made such a hit at the Fencibles’ benefit at the Academy of Music in plantation melodies, with banjo accompaniment, are the daughters of Mr. Daniel Leech, who was for so many years conrected with the Smithsonian Institu- tion, and nieces of the former director of the mint. friends in this city who would be gratified at their success in a unique form of enter- tainment. The annual outing of St. John’s choir will commence week after next. The boys will go to Piney Point, and will be accompanied by the Philharmonic Quartet. On the night of the Fourth of July there will be a musi- cale, in which both ehoir and quartet will participate, The director of the choir, Mr. Wm. H. Daniel, wil: look out for the wel- fare of the boys. It is rumored that Mrs. Perkins, the so- Prano at All Souls’ Church, has resigned. The annual musicale of Mr. George W. Lawrence will take place at the Universal- ist Church, corner 13th and L streets north- west, tomorrow evening, when his pupils will be heard in a well-selected program. Mr. Ludwig Lindheimer of this city, whose progress at the Raff Conservatory of Music at Frankfort-on-the-Main has al- ready been noticed in these columns, grad- uated from there at the recent commence- ment with high honor. All the papers of that city speak in terms of warm commen- dation of his work, the Zeitung saying that Mr. Lindheimer, through his vocal powers, as well as knowledge of stagecraft, is a valuable addition to the operatic stage. The Journal thus speaks: “A brilliant per- formance was the Figaro of Mr. Ludwig Linghetmer from Washington. Possessed of a strong, well-cultivated and expressive voice, the young artist unites with it a routine of stage technique which induces the belfef that one is listening to an artist matured by years of experience.” The General Anzeiger says that “first mention must be made of the admirable rendition of the principal role, Figaro, in the hands of Mr. Lindheimer from Washington. It seerred as though he had taken the great d’Audrade for his model. The part is well suited to him. He uses his voice in an ad- mirable manner, erunciates ee. acts the part with facility and understands how to make his points with great cleverness.” It is pleasant to note the success of this Washington young man, and his many friends her hope to, ere long, have the op- portunity of hearing his splendid baritone voice in this city. —__ Has Been Disbarred. It has been ordered by the Secretary of the Department of the Interior that Henry I. Lord of Biddeford, Me. be no longer recognized as agent or attorney in the pros- ecution of any claim or other matter be- fore that department. Mr. Lord was charged with violation of the pension laws in having secured and retained for his services in the prosecution of the claim of Laura E. Graves the sum of $1,175. It further appears that the pensioner brought | suit to recover the amount of money with- held by him, and that judgment was award- ed her in the sum of $1,000 with interest, but that defendant moved for a new trial which was set down for July, 1804. —— a? Indictments by the Grand Jury. The grand jury today returned indict- ments against the following: John Monroe, rape; James Kelly, other- wise called Frank Harris, housebreaking; William Turner, otherwise cailed William Boyd, housebreaking; Frank Jackson, Wm. Bowman, George Jackson, Robert Coats and Max Belt, rape; William McHugh, Ed- ward Tyne and Daniel Desmond, house- breaking; Robert G.

Mr. Terrell, United States minister to Turkey, called upon Acting Secretary Uhl at the State Department Saturday to pay his respects before returning to his post after his leave of absence, spent in Texas. ————_—_-«— Bradbury Contest Present.

A tall, keen-eyed, square-shouldered, sandy-haired man, with a countenance that bespoke a quiet and reserved nature, strolled out of the Hotel Lawrence this morning and walked slowly up E street toward Newspaper Row. As he passed the Press Club an army officer stepped forward and shook hands with him cor- dially and then rejoined his companions. “Do you know who that is?” inquired the military man. “No? Well, that’s ex-Special Agent Cooper of the Indian office. Every- body in the far west knows Jim Cooper. He has nerve enough to supply a whole family of mountain lions and have enough left to equip several companies of hard- riding Indian fighters. During the stormy times at Pine Ridge agency several years ago Cooper was a strong factor in set- tling matters with the Indians, being pres- ent there as a civilian representative of the government. His fame had preceded him to Pine Ridge from the Tongue River reservation of the Northern Cheyennes, up in Montana, where he followed a career that was full of exciting adventures. One incident that may give you some idea as to the character of the man occurred up on the Tongue River reservation in the latter part of the 80's, when Cooper was tem- rarily acting as the agent there. Two indian boys, as young unmarried Indians are called, about nineteen or twenty years of age, respectively, had murdered a white man. Cooper called the Cheyennes to- gether, and they numbered about four hun- dred warriors at that time and equally as many squaws, who are pretty near as good as warriors when it comes to a ruction, and told them that the boys would have to be brought in and delivered up to answer for their crime. The Indians said they didn’t know where the boys were, and Cooper very plainly told them that they were lying. Then they asked him how many ponies he would take to let up in the prosecution of the criminals, and Cooper said that he wouldn't listen to any such talk as that, but that what he wanted was the boys, and that he wanted them brought in without any further palavering or subterfuge or delay. The father of one of the boys gzew very indignant at Coop- er’s determined stand, and said that the boys would come in all right, but that Cooper was too big a coward to meet them. This was the Indian way of challensing Cooper to a fight. He never winced, but got mad in turn. He told the gathering that the whole Cheyenne tribe couldn't scare him, and that he proposed to get those boys in spite of all of them and see that justice was done, and dared the father to let tl murderers know what he said. Then he rammed a few handfuls of ammu- nition into his pocket, took up his rifle and started out. The Cheyennes ranged them- selves round on the bluffs and waited for the fun to begin, ready to take a hand in an instant, if necessary. Cooper knew that if he showed the slightest signs of nervousness or fear, the Indians would make short work of him, burn everything in sight and go cavorting off the reserva- tion. But he grew mighty lonesome, for all the white employes of the reservation had become scared and gone to hiding. He led_on the six or seven Indian police that were on duty at the reservation to stand by him, however, and took the pre- caution to send one of them after a cav- alry troop, I think it was troop A of the first, that was camped down on the Lame Deer. Pretty soon Cooper saw a couple of Cheyennes in full war paint and regalia riding like mad down the trail toward the agency. They were the boys who had mur- dered the old mi As they came within range the agent raised his rifle and plugged one of them so good and hard that he rolled off his pony and gave up the ghost without a single kick. The other one be- gan circling around and around for a little while as Indians do, getting ready for 9 rush, and Cocper awaited his opportu- nity to get a good shot at him, when the cavalry troop appeared. Then came the strangest part of the proceeding. That young Indian charged directly at the line of United States soldiers and went right through it, wounding four horses he did so. But when he had gone through somebody whirled that troop around and the result was that in less than three wags of a sheep's tail Mr. Indian boy was as full of holes as any piece of honeycomb you ever saw in your ilfe. There was no more trouble at the Tongue River reservation while Cooper was there, and the Cheyennes respected him. You mustn't imagine from this that the Northern Cheyenne is a weak specimen of the Indian. Those fellows at Tongue river were the very same who were taken down to Indian territory many years ago and escaped and were not ove-- hauled or stopped until they had gone north to within fifty or sixty miles of Pine Ridge, and the government didn’t try to get them to go back any more. They are fierce to @ degree and the best fighters that live today, but still they are upright in their dealings, and the character of their lives may be appreciated when the fact is known that there is not a woman among the Northern Cheyennes who is not perfectly virtuous.” “I believe there will be a great improve- ment in business from August on, whether anything is done with the tariff or not,” said Henry Curtis of Chicago, who is an important person in the big establishment of Marshall Field & Co., and who stopped between trains at the National last night. “We are feeling considerably encouraged over the prospects for fall trade. Business is, of course, dull now, but not so much so as @ great many imagine, and we be- lieve that the fall trade will be thoroughly satisfactory. The shelves of small dealers were never cleaner of goods. The very smallest stocks possible are being carried by every one. When the demand does start up it will be felt instantly, and I shall not be surprised if the wholesale hou: Won't experience more difficulty in getting goods from the mills than they will have in getting orders from customers, because the mills have been running on short time and are carrying no large stocks. Their accumulated product will be exhausted in the first rush of orders, and they will have to run full capacity to meet demands. I believe this feeling prevails generally among wholesale people in all branches of business, and consequently I look for a revival of a healthy condition in the coun- try in a very short time.” “Every city in this aggregation of states should have an ordinance providing for the compulsory cleaning out of every cellar and back rd in the month of April of each year,” said Dr. R. 8. Millard at the Ebbitt House this morning. Dr. Millard is now a resident of St. Paul, and was a well-known champion of safitary improvements in New York a dozen years ago. “No matter how cleanly @ community may be, and how care- ful housekeepers may conduct their kitch- ens,” he continued, “it is hard to get a servant to properly dispose of the garbage and refuse during the cold days of winter. What I mean its this. Garbage receptacles are usually placed at or near the gate of the back yard. When the air is freezing, ninety-nine servants out of a hundred will throw any liquid refuse they have, such as greasy water, coffee-pot washings, and things of that sort, out on the bare ground of the yard, im preference to carrying it| through the cold to the place intended for it. If there is snow on the earth the repre- hensible cusiom is carried still further. A continual persistence in this sort of thing turates the ground of the back yard with number of deleterious substances, and when the summer comes along and the sun shines down upon it, there is miasma in the air, and people wonder why there is ro much typhoid fever in the neighborhood. A great many people also keep vegetables in their cellars during the winter, and tn many cases the supply is not used up soon enough to prevent a portion of it from de- caying. The disease-breeding germs are parti rly fond of finding a damp, dark, noxious place in which to settle and grow fat, and decaying vegetable matter in a cei- lar provides such an opportunity. So, as long as the common sense of people does not inspire them to give their surroundings the attention so necessary for the preser- vation of health, I believe that laws should prepared compelling the cleaning of back yards and cellars, and that they should be rigidly enforced. The cost to each house- holder would be small, and the benefits to the community would be shortly observed in a heavy decrease in the death rate.” “One of the populist theories of finance,” said C. W. Coombs of St. Louis at Worm- ley’s last night, “is that if you will increase the per capita amount of money in the country you Increase the prosperity of the people. I don't know whether this is true or not, but a couple of weeks ago I saw @ practical application of how It works among Indians out at Talequah, in the Indian territory, when $6,500,000 were dis- tributed to the Cherokee Indians. The money was given to the heads of families on the basis of about $265 for each indi- vidual member of a family. When it be- came definitely known some months ago that the Cherokees were to receive this money the neighborhood in which they reside was suddenly overrun with all sorts of schemers from the southwest. Others in- veigled the Cherokees into purch: ‘ing all manner of worthless articles, which were ; allowed to pasture their sheep and cattle | Mr. Charies Hastings hav to be paid for when the government gave them their money. Consequently when the distribution at Talequah the town was nearly as full of the Indians’ creditors as it was of the Indians themselves. I never saw anything like it in my life. Bucks and squaws would go up and receive $500, $700 or $1,000 apiece, to use round figures, and before they got to the end of the long line of scoundrels who had infested the territory and gotten their clutches on the poor ignorant people they would have very few dollars left. I saw one squaw, in par- ticular, who received over $750 for herself and her two children, and go away crying when she reached the end of the line of collectors, after running the gauntlet of their importunities, without so much as single cent. I think the government did a great wrong in distributing money to the Cherokees in the way it did, because the ignorant members of the tribe got no use from it whatevei —_—_ OVER A SCORE WENT DOWN. Over a score of lives were lost yesterday afternoon about three miles off the Atlantic Highlands of New Jersey. The steam tug James D. Nichols was capsized with seven- ty-flve persons aboard. It is thought the total death lat will reach twenty-four. The tug left Sth street and East river, New York, at 7:39 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, touehed at pier 3, East riv went on to the fishing grounds. She had, it is sald, a license to carry fifty passengers, but sixty-three tickets were sold. There was a bar and lunch counter on bourd. The tug reached the banks on time, but | the fishing was poor and the sea too rough for comfort, and about noon she started back. When about three miles east of the Highlands, and about four miles south of Scotland Hghtship, the waves began to break over her starboard rail heavily. To dodge the water and wind, the passengers began to run around the port side and to climb on top of the deck house. The boat careened alarmingly to port and the water swept in over the rail. The ter- Tor-stricken men rushed back to starbourd, and the tug swung deeply down on that side. At the same moment three heavy breakers struck the boat in quick succes- sion. The captain, William Hyatt, stuck plucki- ly to his post, and sounded the whistle in a prolonged scream for help. As he did g0, the tug filled with the water that poufed into her from both sides and sank out of sight in the water. She went down Jike a stone, carrying many passengers with her. The wate: choked the cry of the whistl but not before it had been heard and heed- ed. The Clyde steamship Algonquin, a mile away, heard it and swung round to go back to the rescue. The tugs Wallace B. Fiint, R. J. Moran and Governor also hurried to- ward the spot. From farther away came the C. E. Evarts, reaching the spot too late to be of service. The Algonquin sent her lifeboat, with First Officer A. M. Rich and four sailors. They picked up ten men, one of whom, however. died a few moments later. The tugs re: cued the others who remained afloat. Some few had life belts on, but most of them were clinging to bits of wreck: » A life raft supported a dczen, and the top of the pilot house as many more. —reo—__—_ THE KAISER’S TRIUMPH. He Settles the Dispute Over the Anglo- Belginn Agreement. Before starting for Kiel, Emperor Wil- Mam of Germany celebrated a little diplo- matic triumph in the settlement of the dis- pute over the Anglo-Belgian agreement. He influenced Belgium and England to come to terms with France and thus pre- pared the way for the pacific conciusion of the whole incident. It has been arranged that a revised convention shall be signed in Brussels shortly by the four powers con- cerned. The emperor has been reproached on the one side with pursuing a narrow German policy, and on the other wiih show- ing a strong English bias; but when the protocols shall be made public everybody will see that the reproaches of both classes are entirely unjust. The dispute was settled in harmony with the recognized principles of international law and in the spirit of previous African treaties. English diplomacy experienced a reverse. However, the English govern- ment, by retaining the good will of Ger- many and allaying the hostility of France, has relieved itself of much painful embar- rassment in European politics. Commander Monteil's African expedition was ordered to start from Brazzaville on June 21 for the Upper Mobangi. It will proceed, but will be divested of its warlike features through @ reduction of the fighting force, and is | likely to become a mere exploring party. The readiness of England to abandon the Anglo-Belglan agreement has been various- ly explained. The most likely of the theo- ries broached is that she feared the calling of an African conference in which France would make every effort to imtroduce the Egyptian question. —— sec PANIC ON A STEAMBOAT, of Thousands of People Im- Just after the steamboat Tolchester, with nearly 3,000 people on board, had left Coney Island on the homeward journey last even- ing four loud explosions were heard, which were quickly followed by a wild panic among those on board. A rush was made to the stern of the boat and many of the women and children on board were crushed and trampled on, although, as far as is known, none were seriously hurt. One pasenger, in the excitement, jumped overboard, but was rescued in an exhausted condition by one of the many small boats that had put out from the shore as soon the explosions were heard. There were four reports in all, which sounded like the dis- charges of small cannons, and they followed one another quickly. When the noise stopped the panic subsided somewhat, and then the captain appeared on deck calling for a doctor. The engineer was in the wrecked engine room, badly scalded and bruised. A witness says the scene was indescrib- able. Women fainted and men cursed and shouted. The explosions followed one an- other so quickly that the passengers lost all control of themselves, and it was @ case of every man for himself. At 6:30 o'clock the Tolchester still drifting off Stony Po! x awaiting a: tance from New York. The engine room of the steamer is entirely wrecked. - ———__+e-+— Permission Refused.

The big cruiser New York arrived at New York yesterday after a cruise of many thousand miles in Central and South American waters. The ship shows some signs of the work of the wind and waves, | but her machinery is reported in excellent ecndition and her officers and crew are well. This was the maiden cruise of the New York, but outside of that was of unusual inte on account of the importance of her mission. On the 26th of December last she was hurried away from New York to Rio Janetro to assist in protecting Ameri- can interests there. On January 29, with! the other four American men-of-war pres- ent, she was cleared for action in expecta- tion of a conflict with the battle ship Aquidaban. After more than two months in the harbor of Rio she left for the north. After a few weeks’ cruising around the West Indies she went to Blueficlds and lay there for four weeks, ready to assist the cruiser San Francisco in case of need. The New York left Kingston, Jamaica, on June 13, and made the trip to New York in about eleven days, an average speed of about eleven knots an hour on one-half her power. On the voyage to Rio six months ago, when speed was a factor of importance, she traveled the distance of nearly five thousand miles in less than knots an hour. Lieut. Com. E. D. F. Heald, executive officer, spoke freely norte d of the alleged defects in the New York's construction. He sald: “The weak places have been remedied. There was much talk of the New York's turrets being out of order at the time of the expected engagement in Rio. The tur- rets were never out of order. The mechan- ism for revolving them is known as a ‘fol- lowing valve.’ Each opening of the valve caused the turret to revolve a few de- grees and then stop. But the turret re- volved faster than the man could open and close the valve, and this made the mo- tion of the turret jerky. It had been ar- ranged this way so that if the man work- ing the valve should be killed the turret would stop, and not swing around and make its guns collide with the deck super- struction, rutning both. “After the incident at Rio, Lieut. R. B. Dashiell set to Work to devise a better method. He unshipped the old mechanism and set up an entirely different one, which works beautifully. It is operated by a lever, and when once started carried the turret clear around to its extreme train. The motion can be stopped or reversed al- most by a touch. An automatic stop pre- vents the turret from swinging too far. ‘When we reached Kingston on our way home the ship was in beautiful condition, and the British officers stationed there were enthusiastic over her, and their com- mandant requested permission for his pho- tographer to take a picture of her.” Sermon to Knight Templars. The members of Potoma> Commandery, No. 3, Knight Templars, accompanied by representatives of Washington, Colum- bia ‘and De Molay Commanderies, as their guests, marched in a body last evening to Dumbarton Avenue M.E.

Carrie Holmes Suffered Agony Doctor Could Do Nothing. In spite of the reported statement of State Entomoiogist J. A. Lintner of New York to the contrary, the fact appears to be that the sting of a seventeen-year locust is pol- sonous and produces death. An apparently well authenticated case in support of this claim is reported. The victim is Miss Car- rie Holmes, sixteen years old, whose home was at Grey Court, Orange county, N. Y. On account of the excessive hot weather Miss Holmes wore a low-necked dress to school last Thursday. She was seated at her desk and was stung on the back by one of several locusts that had entered the school room th an n a She thought at "atet that one hae been stung by a bee or @ yellow jacket. Soon af- terward, however, the spot began to swell and she commenced to suffer excruciating 4 the — She also became faint, and practical- ly lost the power of locomotion. had to be taken home in @ carriage. A physician was summoned, and admin- istered to her the proper remedies for the bites of poisonous insects. Notwithstand- ing all that was done-in her case, Miss Holmes continued to grow steadily worse, until Friday morning, when she died in great agony. ———__+e+-______ Marringe Licenses.
