She pleaded guilty and Justice Taylor im- posed a fine of $5. _ > Seld the Melons. Edward Dudley, colored, sold some water- melons Saturday evening without first ob- taining a huckster’s license. The result was that he was in the line at the Police Court this morning. His explanation was that he ‘Was an expressman by trade and that he carried a load of melons for a man who didn’t have enough money to pay him, so he gave him sixteen small meions. These Dudley thought he would sell in order to get his money back. He was technically guilty, and the judge imposed a fine, but Suspended execution. —_——~—__. Marriage Licenses.

Current Topics Treated From a Re- Hgious Standpoint and the True At of Life Discussed, The interest tn the church services in this city is kept alive and active during the summer morths, and no doubt one cause that contributes to that result is tne able discussion of the topics selected by these who occupy the various pvlpits. Rev. E. Olin Eldridge, ‘he pastor of Doug- lass Memortal Church, continued last even- ing the series of sermons on the sins of the times. The theme last evening was “The Evils of the Modern Dance.” He said the dance was a worldly amusement, and while dancing is spoken of in the Bible, the min- ister maintained that it is only mentioned in connection with religious exercises. He denounced the round dance, and spoke of dancing generally as injurious to health. He said that the surroundings were often objectionable, and that dancing was expen- sive. The preacher said that the dance was immoral and ought not to be countenanced by Christians. At the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church yesterday morning Rev. Francis A. Horton of Providence, R. I, spoke on the theme of passing judgment on moral char- acter. In the text, which was “Wherefore by Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them,” the preacher said was a principle of judgment which is easy to understand, but more difficult of application. He said that men were not able to judge their own Chris- tlan character, and they could not judge the Christian character of their brethren. Men could not be judged until their labors were ended; tne data of mental capacity and surroundings were not ascertainable. The preacher said the text taught that right living was the major part of living, and that a splendid creed and a bad life were not compatible. He made a plea for charity in judging others and denounced the f-aming and circulating of false re- ports. The usual Sunday afternoon address to young men im the hall of the Young Mens Christian Association was deliverei yesterday afternoon by Rev. Charles H. Dodd, the pastor of the Pedie Memorial Church of Newark, N. J. He told the story of Naaman and Elisha. His theme was the frequency with which Christian young men allow other things to come before thei> Christian faith. At the Salem Baptist Church yesterday morning Rev. Dr. Lamkins, the pasto-, spoke on the theme of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhocd of man. The preacher said that in his opinion the great trouble of the world today is that ther? a-e too many people in it who fail to subseribe to this doctrine. While he did not believe that God had created all men equal in ail respects he believed that there is one place on earth where all men shall be equal, and that is before the Lord. “The IMfferences Between the First and Second Adams” was the subject of a ser- mon last evening by Rev. Dr. Pitzer, the Pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church. He said that the redemption lost in the first Adam was restored by the second Adam, who was Jesus Christ. Rev. W. E. Parsons, the pastor of the Church of the Reformation, preached yes- terday on God's way of helping us out of spiritual depression. He said that too conspicuous a success is a cause of de- spondency, as some men can stand defeat better than victory. Cowardice is also a fruitful cause of despondency, and some Christians are despondent because they are dyspeptic. The best cure, he thought, for a low spiritu@l life is the lifting up of the physical life. In the opinion of the preacher the most discouraging feature about the Tace problem is the contentment of the negro. He is satisfied with his meager life. Until the discontent of ambition is infused into him his condition will continue a dead level of dependency. The pastor of the People’s Church, Rev. Dr. Alexander Kent, chose as the theme of his discourse yesterday manly content- ment and manly ambition. He believed in men accepting present conditions cheerful- ly and contentedly, but he thought that it was wrong to have such a spirit of con- tentment that is willing to make narrow conditions permanent conditions and so shut one’s self out from those larger op- portunities for growth and progress which each one ought to see that the future brings with it. Such contentment, he said, is un- manly. What was needed, he said, were men who, while they have a great content at their heart which fills them with peace and gives them strength to endure and suf- fer, have also a lofty and wide-reaching un- selfish ambition. It is not desired to have contentment with conditions in which this higher life is impossible. At Waugh M. E. Church yesterday morn- ing the pastor, Rev. Alexander J. Gibson, preached on the subject of the daily life as furnishing the means for judging people. He spoke of the distinction that many draw between morality and religion, and ex- pressed the opinion that, though a man is not religious, he may be a moral man and a good man, and is obeying God’s law in observing the moral code, but such a life is not a model life. He reminded his hear- ers that a man’s constitutional make-up has much to do with his life, and they should be careful not to judge -all alike. The boy brought up in the midst of crime has not the same chance as the boy who lives under religious influences. A good life, he said, is the ideal of happiness and virtue. Christ is the ideal of the Christian life. By fol- lowing his teachings closely and imitating his example we may do what scems to be almost an impossibility, and that is to love our enemies, not merely to forgive them,but to love them. -—~ THE REMAINS CREMATED. The Late Dr. Michener and the Action of the Hamane Socicty. The body of Dr. Charles B. Michener, whose death last Thursday in this cliy Was mentioned in The Star, was cremated yesterday in Baltimore. The remains were conveyed to that city by a delegation of Stansbury Lodge, No. 24, of Masons, com- posed of Angus Lamond, W. G. Platt, Hor- ace J. Long, Wm. J. Tucker and M. F. Martin. At a special meeting of the executive committee of the Washngton Humane So- ciety, held on Saturday, resolutions were adopted expressive of the loss experieaced by the members of the committee by the eath of their colleague and paying a trib- ute to the interest which Dr. Michener displayed in the objects of the society and the readiness with which he gave his professional services without compensation, ——— Question of Numbers. A case that was rather out of the ordi- nary run was ventilated in the Police Court this morning. It was that of a young col- ored man named Andrew Smith, who is em- ployed as a driver by the Ivy City Brick Company. He was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, and the prin- cipal witness against him was the paymas- ter of the company. According to his story the men at the works are known and paid off by number. Andrew's number on the books is 97, and on the last pay day there was a credit of $2 opposite his name. When the line was formed last pay day Andrew told the pay. master that his number was 7. Now, 70 Jimmy James’ number, and he had '$11 due him. Andy got the money, and a few minutes later, when Jimmy got to the win- dow, it was discovered that his envelope had been given out, while 97 was not called for at all. The theory of the defense was that Andy hed honestly asked for his own number, and that the mistake was made by the pay- | master as a result of the similarity. Andy claimed that he had made several efforts to find the paymaster since, in order to re- fund the money, as he had not noticed that a mistake had been made in the first place. yustice Mills thovsht that while this might » the real explanation of the case, there was still enough evidence to warrant his holding the defendant for the grand jury, and he placed Smith under $300 bonds. —__- Trustee's sale of the three-story frame dwelling No. 1425 N street northwest to- morrow at 5 o'clock p.m. See advertisé- ment. e Sa ee Bay Ridge en the Chesapenke.

The deceased had reached the age of sixty-four, and was a yeteran of two wars. He entered the marine corps in 1839 as a drummer boy. He was at the capture of Vera Cruz in '47.

The deceased was a widow of Charles Kahlert. —> ARRESTED IN BALTIMORE, Mrs. Lount Suffers From Having an Unpaid Hotel BIL. Mrs. Virginia M. Lount was arrested in Baltimore Saturday, charged with not hav- ing paid her pill at the hotel. When ar- raigned she told the judge that all her transactions had been made purely for the sake of notoriety. She claims that she Was ‘advertised to lecture in this city on Thursday next at Convention Hall on “Prisoners of Poverty.” She sald she had no money, and was, therefore, sent to jai! to await trial. She is said to have stopped at a hotel in this city a few weeks ago, where she left an unpaid board bill. It is stated that her home is in the vicinity of Lynchburg, Va. : —— A Washington Yacht Disabled. The steam yacht May, bound to Wash- ington from Albany, N. Y., was disabled Saturday night off Sandy Point, Chesa- peake bay. Three steam tubes in her boiler were blown out. To prevent the yacht from beaching a stove and some scraps of fron and other articles were thrown over- board with the anchor. Her owner, Willi E. Newman of this city. and Chief Eng! neer Salair walked eight miles to Ann: olis and secured a steam launch, which towed the disabled boat to the Naval Acad- emy. The little steamer was recently purchased at Rockiand Lake, N. he will be towe) to Washington and receive a new boiler. Pilot J. i. McCracken was in charge.

Ac ding to old Aunt Patsy Bird, a colored lady of standing ahd repute, Eddie threw a ptece of coal, which struck a Ifttle baby. ‘And, jedge, it killed that chile daid fo" de time being.’ Eddie finally admitted that he’ threw the coal, but said that he didn’t intend to hit ee a] the baby. The judge fined him $3, Hall pere was given until this afternoon to raise the money. He will then have Eddie all to himself, and, in ali probabili- ty, will take about $3 worth out of the seat of little Eddie's trouser He Was Sorry. Robert C. Dorsey, an elderly white man, was very drunk Saturday evening, and one of the results of his jag was that he was put under arrest cha-ged with indecent ex- posure. When he appeared in the dock at the Police Court and was calle? upon to plead this morning he sald that he was so drunk at the time that he had no idea what he had done. “Drunkenness is no excuse in this court,” said Justice Taylur. “You ll have to pay a fine of $15, for, according to the witness:s’ story, you are'clearly guilty.” Dorsey had just about $15 less than the fine imposed, and he tuned away with a look that said plain as words that he wished he had stayed sober Saturday. Sake Loud and Boixterous. Mary Henson, a colored house servant, was charged with loud and boiste-ous con- duct early yesterday morning. She insist- ed that it AS a case of mistaken identity and that she had made no fuss at all. ‘he lady for whom she works testified that Mary was a quiet, hard-working girl, but the policcman's story was convincing, aad she was fined _ The Reform School. Samuel James, a diminutive colored bareheaded and barefooted, pleaded gu in the Police Court this morning to b: ne @ vagrant and an idle and disorderly person. A couple of policemen knew him, and one said that he saw Sain begging on ith Street last evening, and the other one saw him asleep in a doorway. When he was awakened Sam asked them to send him to the reform school, and this seemed to Jus- oe Taylor about the best thing to do with him. 2d, —e Parted for Ninety Days. A couple of colored people, George Davis and Sarah Miller, have -been — traveling around together for some time past with- cut ever having gone through the formality of a wedding ceremony. They were arvest- ed under the vagrancy law, and in the Po- lice Court this morning they were unable to give a good account of themselves or to show that they had any visible means of support. They will be compelled to occupy separate cells at the work house, and it will be ninety days before they meet again. PRED VORU SPE P GHG 1H HO ROYAL BAKING POWDER } Absolutely Pure.

The average cargo brought was 115 tons. This shows the canal to be well dredged. Previous to the last serious attention the canal received, owing to the fillings that had accumulated, only about ninety-six tons could be brought by a boat. Dredges are now kept ccnstantly at work— first on one level, then on another. Death of C. L. Sampsell. Mr. C. L.

Rain fell Saturday over a great area in the west, including a large part of Illinois, Towa and Indiana. Reports from some points in Illinois indicate that in conse- quence there will be an average crop of corn. In other localities that crop had been too much damaged to be much benefited. In a few cases the stalks are said to have been burned by the excessive heat. In some sections the rain was accom- panied by a hi wind, which blew down corm, and the mage to broom corn at Arcola, Ill, is estimated at $4,000. Pas- tures and potatoes were generally too far gone to be revived. The rain extinguished a number of prairie fires. The yield of wheat is reported unexpectedly large. The state weather crop report, now being ecmpiled, will agree very closely with that made by the government, but it is based on returns made not dater than August 1. The southern, central and northwestern pertions of Minnesota received a good drenching rain Friday night and Saturday morning. It was the first substantial rainfall that some of the sections had enjoyed for three months. In St. Paul the rain fell for a few min- utes in solid sheets. The rain came too late to affect wheat, of course, nearly all of the cereal having been harvested; but its importance to the corn and potato crops can hardly be overestimated. Corn has been saved from what threatened to be utter failure. Some fields had been dam- aged beyond repair. A dispatch from Topeka, Kan,, says: “Secretary Coburn of the Agricultural De- partment admitted yesterday that there was little hope for Kansas corn. In the western part two-thirds of the crop is a total failure. In the eastern part, where a Partial crop was hoped for ten days ago, there will not be more than a third of a crop at best, and if the hot and dry weather continue half of that will be ruined. ‘There cannot be over 75,000,000 bushels, and prob- ably-much less. State Senator Wilcockson of Logan county says pecple are being driven out of western Kansas by the hun- dreds by the tota! fatlure of crops.” A dispatch from Des Moines, lowa, says the officers of the State Agricultural So- ciety agree in their crop estimates that the reports sent by the weather bureau have been approximately correct. President John A. Evans of the society has traveled exten- sively over the state, has met farmers from all sections. see, Heinrich Kuffler, who became notorious in connection with the Austrian Escompte Bank frauds in 1884, committed suicide in Vienna yesterday.
