THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES. LITTLE CHILDREN| THE NATIONAL GUARD They Often Saffer Through Ignorance. UNKNOWN TO PARENTS leet Which Causes Their Little Ones to Have Such Pain- ful Erupti ae ‘What « common thing it Is to see children, many of them small children, who have blotches, sores and breakings out of various kinds. These troubles are commonly attributed to some ¢isorider or taint of the bieod. Formerly the parents gave sulphur and molesses; more latterly almost anything of which they may henr. It ts a great mistake to think that these chil- dren's troubles arise from diseased blood. It is not true. ‘Their little bodies are not hardened and sttong, their digestion is not always good, and especia'ly ip nearly every case are thetr kidneys and urinary orgams Weak and often inactive. This is the surce of their trouble, and parents will realize It if they only stop to think. How often have you had proofs that your child's kidneys were weak? If the kidneys are not strong and active they do rot throw the yolsons from the blood, and hence these poisons break out im sores. And yet It is so easy to Keep their little bodies in good, bealthy corditicn, Children are usually active and playful, and with a little help, even the slightest assirtarce, they can be kept healthy and their Dicod pure. There Is a great preparation, which ts the most popular in use today, but which has, for some strange reason, been cousidered principally good for grown-up people. Perhaps this is because it has suc) unusual power, but while tt is true that it Is powerful, It ts so simple, so harmless, thaf even a bebe can take it without injurious effects. We refer to Warner's Safe Cure, which is a purely vegetable preparation, and wholly harmless in every respect. It acts healthily on the principal organs of the body, but especially on the kidneys and the urinary organs, and its effects can be felt within a few hours. Little caildren who are all- ing, who seem out of sorts, who have eruptions, cannot be cured except by going to the source of trouble. Head what one mother says: “At three years of age my boy was taken with Kidney trouble of the worst form. After using everything that I could get that I thought would benefit Lim, and receiving no permanent relief, I was induced te try Warner's Safe Cure. I gave him three bottles of it, and he was completely cured. He ix now fourtten years of age, strong and healthy.""—Mrs. D. W. STEELE, Mexico, Mo.

My throat of- ten felt dry and painful, and my eyes smarted as it I had sand in them. I felt that something must be done, and throagh thé advice of « friend, went to Dr. Jordan for treatment. From the start I got relief, and now sleep well; have no cough; my nose is clear, my throat causes me no trouble, no headaches; and I feel like a different man. Dr. C. M.

THE NEW SMALL CALIBER RIFLE Individual Medal Competition of Company A, Second Battalion, GENERAL INTERESTING NOTES ‘The announcement in The Star that the next interstate drill and encampment will be held iff Memphis, Tennessee, beginning May 31 next, and also the stand taken by General Ordway in regard to ordering com- panies of the brigade to that city, was the subject of considerable animated discussion in local National Guard circles during the past week. Of course, it is a certainty that company C, second battalion, will attend the drill, but no formal action in regard.to the trip, says Captain Domer, will be taken for some months to come. It may be au- thoritatively stated that company A, fourth battalion, will make no effort to go, as it is satisfied to rest on its laurels as win- ner of the maiden contest at Little Rock. Company A, second battalion, which drilled for six weeks or more recently, in prepara- tion for a proposed competition at Rich- mond, and then suffered a disappointment because the drill was declared off, is much wrought up over the Memphis announce- ment. Captain Edwards and his men met on Thursday evening last to discuss the ad- yisability of making an effort to visit the Tennessee city, but as the attendance was small the matter was postponed until the regular monthly meeting of the organiza- tion, which occurs on Monday evening. Judging from the enthusiasm prevaient at present, it is almost a certainty that com- pany A, second battalion, wiil appear be- fore the judges at Memphis, if the com- manding general will give his permission to that end. Company B, second battalion, which took second place, and made such an excellent showing in the recent drill at Alexander Island, is also in the field as a possible candidate for Memphisian honors. Captain Shilling states that he :neans to take steps at once towards the formation of an ideal drill team, but he is aware that it is almost an impossibility for his cecm- pany to take the trip, for the reason that the members are mostly High School students, who will be unable to suspend their studies on May 31, ‘which is but a fort- night before the closing of school, and which also is about the date for holding the annual company competitive drill of the High School Cadets. Nevertheless, the jaunt to Memphis is to be taken if it can by any means be arranged. Company B, fourth battalion, is seriously thinking of sending a team to Memphis to astonish the natives with a zouave dri!l par excellence, and there has been some talk of light bat- tery A entering the artillery drill, but the latter is by no means probable. Some months ago the members of company D, fourth battalion, stated their intention to showing what they can do in the ratter of interpreting tactics at the next interstate drill, but the idea has been abandoned. ‘This completes the list of possible entries from the District of Columbia National Guard. The Small Caliber Rifle. An interesting paper on the surgical sig- nificance of the new small caliber rifle was recently read before the Eighth Cavalry Lyceum, at Fort Meade, S. D., by First Lieut. Henry R. Stiles, assistant surgeon, U. 8. A. Lieut. Stiles spoke as follows. “With a mantled bullet, ricochet hits are especially to be feaed. Contact with any hard substance is scre to split the mantle nd the naked and deformed ball wiil then act much like the hollow-point express bul- let. Bogdantk, writing of a street riot in Biala, describes the wounds produced by the Mannillcher bullets, ricocheting from the pavements and house walls, as more fright- ful than any yet known in the history of military surgery Protective works of all kinds will lose much of their value when op- posed to the new ball. Brick or stone wails, fields trenches, earthworks, are pierced at close range, and fire concentrated on par- ticular points will produce regular breaches, The fragments and splinters torn from the walls By the bullets will act as so many more projectiles, and with the deformed bullets and the pieces of the ruptured man- tles, will turn what was hoped to be a de- fense into a means of destruction. “Taking all these facts into consideration, the question as to the efficiency of the new gun may, I think, be answered in its favor, especially when it is considered that a ger- man-silver mantled bullet is to be used. “But In some respects the new ball is humane. Men wounded with the undeform- ed ball have a better chance, not alone for life, but for a life of usefulress. Properly treated, its wounds heal perfectly and with surprising quickness. The ball rarely lodges in the body under 1,200 yards, unless it has lost velocity in some way. It need rarely be probed for, nor need attempts at extraction be made. Thus, one great source of wound- infection will be done away with. The bail may be regarded as a non-infected foreign body when it does lodge, and tn the majori- ty of cases will be encapsulated in the tis- sues and give no further trouble. It passes through the part hit In a perfectly straight line. None of the tissues of the bafy are hard enough to deflect the uninjured bullet. Henes, knowing our anatomy, it will be possible to tell just what structures have been pierced ard to treat the case accord- ingly. This fact will be of special value in deciding as to treatment in wounds of the abdomen. Bones and joints are less crushed and torn and the necessity for deforming operations will rarely arise. Useful joints will be the rule where, with ‘the old ball, the injury would have demanded amputs tion or resection. It 1s, however, less hu mane than has been claimed. It will kill and wound more men than the old in a given time and under similar circumstances. When it loses its mantle by impact it causes wounds of a more frightful charec- ter than any produced by the old bullet. But the majority of the injuries that it pro- duces at all ranges offer to the surgeon an extremely favorable fleld for his labors, while materially lightening them.” First Lieutenant Elected. At a well-attended meeting of the mem- bers of company D, second battalion, held on Thursday evening, First Sergt. Clifford R. James was unanimously elected first Meutenant. The new lieutenant began his military career about six years ago as a charter member of the Morton Cadets when that organization was an independent company. Resigning from the Mortons, he entered company D, second battalion, D. C. N. G., under Capt. Raymond and shortly thereafter was transferred to company CG, fourth battalion. From there he shifted to company B, fourth battalion, for a few months and then returned to company C. Upon the organization of the present com- pany D, second battalion, under Capt. Young, James enlisted therein as a private, but was soon appointed sergeant and then first sergeant. e is very popular among the members of the company. Won by Private Wigginton. The monthly Individual competitive drill of company A, second battalion, was held on Thursday evening last in the drill hall of the Center Market Armory. About thir- ty members of the organization engaged in the competition, Capt. Edwards and First Lieut. Meyer acting as judges. After a short contest Private Wigginton was de- clared the winner, and entitled to wear the prize, a gold medal, until the next drill. The medal has been won twice by Private Wigginton and twice by Corp. Smith, and the competition next month is awaited with interest. Notes. Col. E. De Forest of the twenty-third Brooklyn regiment, who is well-known in Washington, won the governor's cup at a match which was shot on the New York state rifle ranges at Creedmare on Wednes- day last. There were twenty competitors, each man firing five shots on the 200, 300, 600 and 600-yard ranges. Sergt. John Cor- rie of the twelfth regiment, who is also well known in this city, and who carried off the cup last year, was com| epee to take third place in the shoot the o' 3 Ge. Col. De Forest scored a total of 88 out of a possible 190, total of 84, Certain members of light battery A are complaining that no provision has been made at the new armory building for bat- tery drills. The present quarters on 8d street, it is claimed, are not of sufficient Proportions to permit of the necessary maneuvers required in a battery drill, and until these requirements are met, say the tiembers referred to, the organization will remain merely a social club, with but few military features. Drills have been practically suspended by company A, fourth battalion, and matters in Capt. Walsh's organization are likely to remain quiet until the time arrives for mak- ing preparations for the brigade encamp- ment in June next. Lieut. Nelligan of company B, fourth bat- talion, had a squad at work several even- ings last week on zouave movements. The complicated maneuvers were watched with considerable interest by a large num- ber of spectators. Adj. Gen. Theodore Mosher is busily en- gaged preparing his annual report as to the status of the District National Guard,which is required by the Wer Department. First Lieut. Lee B, Mosher of company C, second battalion, is permanently installed in business In New York city. He has ap- plied for three months’ leave of absence from the guard. Firet Lieut. James L. Mock, recently ap- pointed adjutant of the fifth battalion, last evening assumed the duties of his new position. Sore arms, the result of vaccination, caused the postponement of several com- pany drills during the past week. Sealer Result of War. One unexpected result of the war in the east, which will bring it home, perhaps, to our own people, is described in a report to the State Department. fron United States Con- sul Steshen at Annaberg,Germany. He says: “The straw plaiting indubtry, with its seat in Dresden, Saxony, is beginning to feel the effects of ‘the war in eastern Asta. The straw hat manufacturers usually draw their material, put up into straw braids, from China and Japan. The blockading of the ports from which these braids were ex- ported hes caused a scarcity and higher prices of the raw material. Manufacturers are beginning to look for other sources from which to supply their demands, and expect to be on the spring market—having nothing better—with home products. 6 ee Cost of Making Money. - Mr. Claude M. Johnson, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, in his annual Teport to the Secretary of the Treasury, states that during the year the aggregate number of sheets delivered of United States notes, treasury notes, gold and silver cer- tificates, internal revenue and customs stamps, &c., was 55,516,901, the cost of which was $1,317,389, the cost per 100 sheets being $23.73. This is the lowest rate at which the work has been done during the last sixteen years. The work of printing the postage stamps, which was begun for the first time by the governfient on July 1 last, 1s proceeding satisfactorily, and it is estimated that the annual saving to the gov- ernment will exceed $50,000. —————— Window Glass Packages. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued orders to customs officials Instructing them to admit to entry imported window glass packed in cases containing fifty square feet or any multiple thereof. The new tariff act Mmits the packages to fifty feet per box. This limitation, however, 1s construed to be directory, and not mandatory. 2 An Affirmative Decision. Chief Justice Fuller yesterday rendered the affirmative decision of the Supreme Court in the New York case of Gustave A. Jahn. The question certified for determina- tion to the Supreme Court by the United States circuit court of appeals for the second circuit was whether the United States cir- cuit court had jurisdiction to hear and de- termine the questions of law and of fact involved in a decision of the board of gen- eral appraisers. No Letter From President Cleveland. A dispatch from Albion, N. Y., printed this morning, gives an extract from a letter purporting to have been written by Presi- dent Cleveland to Robert L. Thatcher upon the political situation. It can We stated on authority that the President has not writ- ten any letter bearing upon the existing political canvass in New York state. Declined Bishop Paret’s Offer. Prince Cantacuzene, the Russian minister, has declined Bishop Paret’s offer to use one of the Episcopal churches in the District for the religious services in memory of the czar, for the reason that it is desired to hold the services on Russian ground, The legation building is the only place of that description in this vicinity, and was natural- ly selected 2s the most suitable place for the services, ‘The Russian minister is very grateful for the courtesies extended by the Episcopal clergy. 2 Applications Denied. The President has denied the application for pardon in the following District cases: August Schlegel, convicted of keeping an unlicensed bar; Bridget O'Mellie, convicted of selling liquor without a license; Harry D. Stembler, convicted of stealing letters containing money from the mali a Presidential Pardons. ‘The President has pardoned P. O, Koonce, sentenced in Idaho to one year’s imprison- ment for embezzling letters, This action was taken on the recommendation of the judicial Officers and in view of the fact that the young man was the tool of an older and more guilty man. He has also pardoned Belle freeman, sentenced in Lilinois to three years’ imprisonment for counterfeiting, on account of her child, born in prison, see War on Nat Gras: ‘The nut grass, er coca, is preving to be almost as much of an infliction on the south as the Russian thistle is to the northwest.

This was the case where the sugar company de- manded that inepectors be appointed under the McKinley law, with a view to the col- lection of the sugar bounty. << 2—_____—_ Contract for Post Office Lock Boxes.

It is becoming apparent that Chi- na relied upon Great Britain to prevent this or any other war which threatened her. It is to the failure of this reliance and the fail- ure of British attempts to check the war after hostilities had begun, that the pres- ent panic and helplessness of the Chinese government are mainly due. The anger and terror of China ts so great that she seems almost on the verge of openly ac- cusing Great Britain of perfidy. It is also made plain today that the Brit- ish government feels the embarrassment of {ts position so much that it is again prepar- ing to interfere between the belligerents. Sir Halliday Macartney, the English sec- retary of the Chinese legation, who is really China’s most trusted representative in this country, today criticised the Rosebery gov- ernment in extraordinary language. He “Tt will be admitted that England had considerable interest to prevent this war, and after it began to stop it. Lord Rose- bery has let chances of effective interfer- ence in the interest of peace slip in a man- ner altogether incomprehensible. When Ja- pan imposed twenty-five reforms on Corea Lord Rosebery confined the exercise of his good offices to a platonic sort of mediation. What was wanted was strong remon- strance, coupled with an intimation that if these preposterous demands led to a war with China Great Britain would not remain neutr: He then discussed the Kowshing incident in strong language, saying that Japan wrote her declaration of war upon the bows of a neutral ship. Continuing, he said: “This was another opportunity that Lord Rosebery let slip, and for the second time under his government Great Britain al- jowed her flag to be insulted with impunity. The incident in the bay of Siam was a warning to the peoples of the east. The sinking of the Kowshing will be a second lesson, establishing the fact that the Brit- ish flag, under the present government, may be treated as a quantite negligeable.”” Sir Halliday Macartney criticised Lord Roseberv's interference when it was finally made as ill-tired,, unprecedented and un- thorized. At that moment no Japanese soldier was upon Chinese soll, and Macart- ney sarcastically observed that it would be interesting to learn the precise grounds on which the premier based his proposal, and equally interesting to learn the precise an- swer which he received from, say Germany. In conclusion, he said: “Whatever be the issue of the war, Eng- land will have to pay. That is, China will recompense herself by imposing proportion- ate duties upon foreign goods, and as trade with China is, to a great extent, in the hands of British merchants, Great Britain will be the sufferer. This extraordinary interview, if it creates the sensation whieh {t seems likely to pro- duce, may be repudiated for diplomatic reasons. It was given to the London cor- respondent of the Kreutz Zeitung today, and may be relied apon. The fact that the English government !s again preparing to interfere between the belligerents Is easily deduced from an apparently inspired leader in the Daily News,: which is amazingly frank in explaining the selfish reasons why England cannot afford to keep its hands off any longer. It ever suggests the terms which the British Mon will be willing to grant to victorious Japan. I have god authority for saying that the initial difficulty in che way of all peace pro- posals is that Japan refuses fo recognize any interceder. She insists that China shall sue fo. peace herself, ———— see Held for the Grand Jury. There was an alleged cAse of horse steal- ing heard in thé Police Court yesterday afternoon, and Judge Miller was satisfied that the grand jury should investigate it. Edward Yates, alias Diggs, a young colored man, was the defendant, and Mr. Putman, owner of the animal, appeared as the prosecuting witness. About ten days ago Policeman Hebrew saw the negro seated on an animal moving in the direction of the horse bazaar, and the negro was so dis- orderly that the officer placed him under arrest. Edward was taken to the Police Court and given a trial. He did not have $5, and so he went down. It subsequently turned out that the animal had been taken from Mr. Putman’s stable, and then Ed- ward was brought from the farm and tried. Judge Miller held him for the grand jury, and he was committed in default of bonds. ‘There was a bicycle larceny case tried this morning. The defendant in the cas? was a young colored man named Robert Springsteen. It appeared that Clarence Ingling was visiting a lady friend on Cor- eoran street a few days ago, and while he was In the house his bicycle was taken. Policoman Edward Duvall recovered the bicycle at the home of the prisoner, and the latter sdid that he got it from a man named Jackson, who gave It to him for a debt. He was unable, however, to tell any- thing of the identity of-the prisoner, and Judge Miller held him for the action of the grand jury. He was committed in default of $4) security. The Golden Cro Mt. Vernon Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, held an interesting meet- Ing last evening, Noble Commander W. H. Main presiding. Two applications for membership were presented. The noble commander appointed J. H. A. Fowler, Adam H. Beck, Miss Blanche Yingling, Miss Clara E. Lewis and Miss Otella L. Frank a special committee to make the necessary arrangements for holding an opea meeting. On motion of J. H. A. Fow- ler the books in the commandery library were ordered to be donated to the Golden Cross Ubrary when organized. Under the good of thé order Miss Blanche I.

The first annual exhibit of the Maryland Horse Show Association opened at Balti- more last night. There is considerable local interest in this exhibition, and a number from Washington were preeent. The exhi- bition is held at Union Park. The first three rows of the grand stand had been transformed into a string of private boxes, and behind them the usual grand stand seats remained for the public at large. But the scope of the visitor was not limited to the grand stand. Several flights of steps led down upon thé “promenade” bordering the arena, and almost as many took advan- tage of strolling along the broad board- walk as remained in their seats. There were eight entries for the ponies in harness class, and seven appeared in the ring. The verdict of the judges was a popular one, the first prize being awarded to Lochiel, Theo. Cuyler Patterson of Phil- adelphia; second prise, Tulby, Theo. paved Patterson; very highly commended, Hazel: dean Jupiter, Wm. J. Sampson of ‘youngs- town,Ohio; highly commended, Judge Chas. R, Diffenderffer of Baltimore. The second class was the saddle horses. There were thirty-two entered, and all showed a greater number than ever showed in New York., The first prize was awarded to Chester, John A. Logan, jr., Oriolo Stud, Youngstown, Ohio; second prize, the Earl, 8. 8. Howland, Mt. Morris, N. Y.; very highly commended, Tony, James K.

Owing to yesterday's steady rain the Bel- mont track at Philadelphia was placed in such conditicn that after consultation be- tween the owners of all the crack trotters and pacers now at the Belmont Driving Park and the managers of that place It was decided to postpcne the events sched- uled -for yesterday until today, when, weather permitting, Alix and Directly, the champion two-year-old, will go against their records. A New Race Track. The New York Evening Telegram says: “There is a rumor going the rounds that a new racing association is to be formed and a track built in this vicinity. At pres- sent nothing like detail can be gleaned, but it can be safely: said that should every- thing be favorable for the continuance of racing under the present conditions an- other track will be in operation in close proximity to this city by the time the sub- urban handicap is due. There is room for it without doubt, as there was more than a month of idleness, so far as high-class sport was concerned, last year, and will be again. Three tracks cannot provide 140 days’ racing when they are only allowed thirty days each.” Alexander Island Results.

Jim Phillips, the clever colored middle- weight, proved to ke ro match for Billy Stift last night. The fight was for the middle-weight championship of the north- west. Stift was seconded by Tommy Ryan and Phillips by George Williams. After a few mixups, in which honors were easy, Stift feinted quietly with left and let go with his right. The blow landed fully on the point of Phillips’ jaw, knocking him down and out. Columbias Defeated Rutgers.
