AVE DECREASE IN CRANKS Some Interesting Figures From the Report of Sanitary Officer Frank. Publie Attention Large Number of Indigent From is Called to the the Neighboring States. The anaual report of Sanitary Officer Frank of the police department has been made to the chief of pclice. In the report Officer Frank gives in detail the work done during the last fiscal year, and calls attertion to the necessity for a contagious disease hospital, and an asylum for in- ebriates. The report shows what, has been done in the way of transporting paupers. Concerning the hospital service, the san- itary officer speaks of the number of per- sons who were sent here from the neighor- ing states o; Maryland and Virginia, in order that the expense of treating them might be borne by the District mstead of by the states. The report states that the requests for assistance from tramps and impostors have been more frequent during the last year than ever befcre, and to guard against im- position rigid investigation is necessary. During the’ year the number of persons furnished with transportation to thelr homes, or as near thereto as practicable, was #12, and the expenditure was $1,086.; as compared with 770 persons and an e: penditure of $1,794.94 for last year. Mr. Frank is of the opinion that this increase in tLe number of persons furnished trans- portation is more than should be expected from the natural growth of the population. Of the number to whom this forin of relief was extended “17 persons came here seei- ing private work, while last year there were only 96 such cases. There were 97 €x-soldiers ard sailors who came here to prosecute their claims for pensions, a de- crease of 48% as compared with the previous year. the Number of Cranks. Mr. Frank also nctes with satisfaction that there were fewer persons belonging to the class termed cranks who visited the city than was the case last year. During the past year only fourteen persons of this character came here, being a decrease of seven as compared with the preceding year. He says that this is the most troub- lesome class the office has to deal with. He states that he is unable to account for the large increase furnished with trans- portation during the last year, except that it 1aighi be due to the greater number of unemployed that visited the city. It is a known fact, he says, that each year brings an increase in the class of un- fortunates who visit the seat of the na- tional government in the hope of success- fully prosecuting some claim, real or oth- erwise, and who, by reason cf delays and other disappointments, become financially stranded. He -ecommends that the appro- priation of $4,000 made last year be re- newed for the next fiscal year. He says there were sent to the various hospitals during the last year 3,075 persons, an in- crease of 169 as compared with the pre- vious year. He notes that there was a de- crease during the year in the number of persons from the neighboring states of Maryland and Virginia. There were 165 sick and indigent from the state of Vir- ginia provided for and 135 from the state of Maryland, a decrease of forty-five from the former state and sixteen from the lat- ter state, as compared with the figures of last year. Unjust to Taxpayers. Mr. Frank says that, while he fully real- izes that it would be inhuman to refuse hospital treatment to those who come or are sent here from adjoining states for the purpose of being admitted to the District institutions, yet he maintains it is mani- festly unjust to the hospitals and tax- payers of this District to be required to bear the expense of those who should be provided for by their respective states. He recommends that the pay of the ambulance drivers be increased from $ to $# per month and the grade of assistant drivers be abolished. He states that during the vear 207 persons were sent to the Gov- ernment Hospital for the Insane, an in- crease cf thirty-three as compared with last year. He recommends that some place be provided in the Washington asylum for the care of cases of temporary insanity. =e The Methodist Unton. The reception in honor of the offictal members of the local Methodist churches, given by the Methodist Union at Foundry church Tuesday evening, was quite a suc- cessful affair, a large attendance being present. Mr. G..W. F. Swartzell, the president of the union, presided, and opened the pro- gram with a short speech, telling of the objects of his association. At the close of the address Mrs. Daniel B. Street, presi- dent of the voard of managers of the Home for the Aged, was introduced to the au- dience. Mrs. Street very ably presented the various needs of the institution and urged the churches to take up a collection for its aid on Thanksgiving day. A debt cf $4,000 now rests on the hore, but a check for $1,000. has been secured to be ap- plied to its relief, provided the churches raised the other three thousand. Application cards for membership were distributed among the assemblage, and a large number of members wore added to the union. . In each of the four corners of the auditorium were refreshment booths, in charge of a committee of ladies, with Mrs. L. T. Widerman as chairman, and it is needless to say they were well patronized. Amorg those of the clergy present were Rev. Drs. O. A. Brown and wife, Luther B. Wilson and wife, Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Baldwin, Dr. L. T. Widerman, Revs. E. O. Eldridge, Joel Brown, J. H. M. Lemon and Chas. L. Pate Of the laity there were Judge H. B. Moulton an Mrs. M. D. Peck, T. W. Towner, Thomas B. Stahl, Miss Ida Miner and others. —___. The Golden Cross. At the last meeting of Capital Command- ery, United Order of the Golden Cross Noble Commander Jas. -F. Kilgore pre- sided. Two applications for membership were presented. The proofs of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth J. Hamilton were pre- sented, and the keeper of records was di- rected to forward them to the supreme keeper of records. Miss Lizzie J. Bur- rough was installed in the office of vice noble commander. Interesting remarks under the good of the order were made by Noble Commander Kilgore, Frank BE. Newton, O. 3. Hallam, Mrs. Martha J. Peabody, and others. Columbia Commandery at its meeting on Tuesday evening conferred the degree on two candidates. The tirst degree was con- ferred by the “lady team,” Mrs, Anna A. Harvey, Mrs. Mary V. Rouzer, Mrs. Net- tie A. Cole, Mrs. Emma Strieby, Mrs. An- nie M. Dykes and Miss Kate Bakersmith. The second and third degrees were con- ferred by the regular officers. It was de- cided to make a fraternal visit to Trinity Commandery on the occasion of its grand visitation. The proofs of the death of Knight Willie E. Arnold were presented, and ordered to be forwarded to the su- preme keeper of records. Trinity Commandery’s last meeting was opened by the vice noble commander, Miss Susan A. Langley, in the absence of Noble Commander E. J. Pattee, who was de- tained by the serious iliness of his daug! ter. After the regular business had b sposed of, Past Noble Commander Wm. E. Gibson was called to the chair. Two applications for membership were present- ed. Among the visitors present were Grand Commander Perry and Past Grand Commander Eble, both of whom made in- teresting speeches on the fraternal features of the order. Other remarks were made by Dr. G. W. N. Custis, Sacket Duryee, B. L. Phillips and others. Sener aa Stole a Horse. Joseph Matthews, a young colored man from Bryantown, Md., came here yester- day with a horse and wanted to sell the T. iB Burris, Mrs. animal for $20. It afterward turned out that Matthews had stolen the horse from his uncle, George Jenifer. Policeman WtI- liams arrested the prisoner and recovered the horse. Matthews was given six months in jail.

Two amendments t the . constitution were made by the National Basco Ball League at New York y@itérday, one to sec- tion 26 and one to sectiom 45. The first is a distinct concession 5° the players. Un- der the old rule a playerywhen given ten days’ notice of releaggjmight cast about for another pesition, puj‘if it chose the club could recall his refease before the expiration of the ten Hays. This was one of the sections included im the league con- tract. % The amendment dog¥ Aaway with the recalling of a release. “It Specifies that the ten days’ notice shall. begin when the club’s notification is received by the league. secretary, and that at the end of the ten days the player “shall be cligible to con- tract with the releasing club or any other club member.” The player when given notice of release by a club must be re-signed by that club on a new contract if the management re- considers its action and decides to retain his services. The amendment to section 45 requires all postponed gates to be played off on the grounds where they were originally scheduled, providing an open date presents itself, and should there be no open date the amendment permits the game io be transferred to the grounds of the visiting club. Formerly it Was necessary to se- cure unanimous consent from ail twelve clubs to transfer such a game. When the meeting adjourned and for two hours previously the delegates were latoring over an amendment proposed by New York delegates. New York, which paid to the league moré money than any other club last seascn, 1s opposed to the league's receiving 19 per cent of the pro- cveds of every game, as is now the case, New York holds that the league is now rich eneugh and the club would like to dump these extra dollars into its own cof- fer. It favors a levy upon each club if the league should require additional funds. This amendment was bitterly opposed by the money-losing organizations, for this 10 per cent forms the annutt dividend and helps them out. All of the western clubs with the possible exception of Pittsburg will vete against it, if it reach a vote. The movement i3 said by some to be a fecler toward the reduction of the league circuit to cight clubs. Louisville has drafted Second Baseman O’Brien from Buffalo, Washington has se- cured Infielder Herman Collins, lste of New Orleans, and Boston has deposited $500 for the release of Outfielder Collins of Buffalo, LARGE ENOUGH FOR TWo. Manager Barnie Discusses American Association Prospects. The American Association of Base Ball Clubs, the new organization which was formed in Philadelphia last month, will hold a meeting at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, beginning tomorrow. Mr. Wm. Barnte, the ex-Washington manager, ar- rived in the city today on his way to the meeting. Speaking of the new association he said that the meeting tomorrow was called for the special purpose of perfect- ing the new scheme. He says: “It is our intention not to fight or be antagonistic to the leggue. On the contrary, we desire to increase and not diminish’ the interest now taken in the national sport. We believe that this coun- try is large enough for two organizations, and that the non-conjlicting interests will surely bring the game before a larger num- ber of people. So far the eastern repr sentatives are Brooklyn, New York, Phit delphia and Washington,’ while those in the West are Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis. The latter’ etty will surely be represented and take the place of Pitts- burg, which will not 8¢a member. I shall handle the Brooklyn end of the associa- tion, and we will haye'a first-class club ane as strong a represen{ation as any one in it.” . Manager Barnle will be jol.ed here by Walter H. Hewitt and M? B. Scanion, who will represent this city, Longbrook’s Sensational Vietory. ‘The racing at the St. Asaph track yes- terday was marred by the seeming pull- ing of Lady Richmond-by: Lendrum in the second race and the wretched riding of R. Doggett in the sixth on Miss Dixie. Lendrum was suspended by the stewards and his case reported to the Nativnal Jockey Club. While Miss Dixie could not, perhaps, have beaten Ed. Kearney, R. Doggett destroyed all chances she nad, and they were. excellent, good judges thought, by putting her in a bad pocket more than twice. The real good thing of the day was Longbrook, at 20 to 1, in the fourth race, he easily beating Will Elliott and Leonardo, topheavy favorites. Just before the race the horse was sold to R. Smith for $1,000, and his new owner more than won him out in the first race with him. A feature of the day was a mile race for two-year-olds, Lo Bengula, at 5 to 1, winning very cleverly. The other winners were: High Point Belle; 9 to 10; Harris, 4 oe 5; Owlet, 3 to 1, and Ed. Kearney, 9 to Jack Wynne’s Fast Time. The public had much the best of the argument with the ten bookmakers at the Alexander Island track yesterday, two favorites and three second choices winni.g. The feature of the day was the winning of the nine-furlong race by a two-year- old, Jack Wynne, in the fa ume of 1.56 3-4. The track was in splendid shape and the attendance was very Jarge. The conditions just suited Une Grade and he easily won the first event at even money. The other winn were: Resita, 3 to Jack Wynne, 9 to 10; Venusberg, 3 to 1, and Jersey, 4 to 1. The © mbin Reserves Win. The Columbia Athletic Club Reserves yesterday visited the Episcopal High School, near Alexandria, and defeated the foot ball eleven representing that institu- tior by a score of 16 to 0, The victory was gained by superior team work on the part of the Reserves, whose line-up was as Weisner, left end; Kohr, left Walsh, left guard; Underwood, cen- ter; Von Lindgren, right guard; McGowan, right tackle; Carter, right end; Parsor right half back; Maupin, left half back; Magee, quarter back, and’ Clark, full back: Ives SUI Leads Schaefer.

Train No. 2, south-bound, on the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas railroad, was held up and robbed at 10:10 o'clock Tuesday night at a siding named Blackstone, five miles north of Muskcgee, Indian territory. There were fifteen men in the gang, all but one masked. He is believed to be Bill Cook. The switch was thrown and the train run into a side track on which were several box cars. An attempt was made to enter the express car, but it was un- successful. The robbers, finding them- selves foiled in this, commenced robbing the passengers, who, up to this time, had been merely kept under guard by men stationed at either door of each coach. Two hundred an@ sixty dollars in money and several gold wat: hes were secured. 52 AE ICES K. of P. Visitation.
