Keen observers say that the practice of hard drinking 1s growing steadily less among intell!- gent, self-respecting men, who, while not pos- ing as apostles of reform, see the folly of ex- cess, rnd govern themselves accordingly. Yet the time when people can get along without an occasional stimulant is as distant as ever. Tt may come when diseage jy banished from the earth; when the body ‘org with work and exposure, and threatened by (insidious _ perils, shall need no help in getting back all the old- time elasticity and vigor. It will not come be- fore. eu ‘The season of snow and lish and icy winds 1s not far away. It {s the time}when the human system is cruelly tried by changes of tempera- ture from overheated rooms to the plereing outer air, Whatever braces the body, tones the stom- ach and keeps the blood stirring naturally will do better than cure colds. It will prevent them, In Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey are found the qvalities necessary to produce this result. It has kept many a man on bis feet ‘and at his work when, without it, he would have been prostrated and helpless. Nobody familiar with the properties of Duffy's Pure Malt ever con- founds it with the whiskey in common use, for it fs not a beverage, but a medicine, As such, it has a place on the housekeeper’s shelf of family remedies, and the broad-minded physician orders it for the patient whose store of vitality is low. Where disease is accompanted by a waste of tissues, a stimulant is always recommended, for it gives the body a chance to build up. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey does this work perfectly.

The grand jury at Philadelphia yesterday afternoon found a true bill against Herman Mudgett, alias H. H. Holmes, now a pris- oner in Boston; Jeptha D. Howe, a St. Louis lawyer, who collect@4 the insurance jnoney on B, F. Pitzel’s policy for the lat- ter’s widow, and the widow herself. The indictment reads for “Conspiracy to cheat and defraud.” The detectives have practically abandoned the murder theory and now think they are on the track of Pitzel in the person of a man calling himself B, I, Lyman, whose whereabouts they refuse to divulge. H. H. Holmes was removed from the city prison to police headquarters, in Boston, yesterday, Where his photograph and meas- urements were taken. In a private room his confession was taken down by a sten- ographer, to be reproduced in court in Phil- adelphia. He was careful not to implicate any one except himself, and he stated positively that the body found in the room at Phila- delphia was not that of B, F. Pitzel, the in- sured man, but a corpse obtained from a medical friend. The Boston police autiori- ties do not place credence in Holmes’ story, in this connection, and believe that Pitzel was murdered. Jeptha D, Howe was arrested in St. Louis yesterday on the charge of conspiring with H. H. Holmes to defraud the Fidelity Mu- tual Life Insurance Company of Philadel- phia out of $10,000, Howe made this statement: “I will say the same to you that. I have said to Mr. Gary and the chief. I do not, in the first place; believe that a fraud has been com- mitted. I believe the body indentified by PitzeMs fifteen-year-old daughter was that of her father. The marks of identification were perfect. As to how Pitzel met lis death I cannot say. But, as-I said to Mr. Gary, if a fraud has been committed 1 am as anxious to have it investigated as any one, and will do all in my power to bring the gullty to punishment. I took the case in good faith and acted as any attorney would have done. Mr, Gary asked me if there were proved a fraud would I be will- ing to return to the company my fee. I told him I would be not only willing, but would not under any cireumstances keep any part of it.” soe MILLINGTON LYNCHERS. Unexpected Setback in the Prosecu- tion at Memphis. The prosecution of Ned Smith and W. S. Richardson at Memphis, charged with lynching six negroes near Millington,Tenn., last August, received a severe setback yes- terday, when Butch. McCarver went on the stand and stated that he is an infidel, and was therefore incompetent under the laws of Tennessee to give testimony before & jury in a vital case. Butch. McCarver is the man upon whom the state most re- lied for a cyuviction, for he was invited prior to the occurrence tg take hand in it. ‘The prosccution chargdd, that M>Carver perjured himscit when he-Baid he did not believe in a God, and he regarded human beings as horses’ and ccws.! Whea he was first taken befere the grgnd jury he da- nied knowing anything Piaat y the lynching, and it was only when he was confronted by indisputable proof that he would con- tess. Then he went on and told everything he knw, which was considered by the at- torney general as sufficiens.te hang the two men on trial, as well as three of the four others. gue Immediately after McCuiver's sensational statement to the court yesterday he was arrested on a bench warrant charging him with perjury. It is also given out by At- torney General Fattersen that he will im- mediately proceed against A. J. McCarver, the sheriff of the county, and the father of Butch., to remove him from office. v CHRISTENING WITH WATER, Reference is Made in the W. C. T. U. Convention to Mrs, Cleveland. In the afternoon session of the W. C. T. U. at Cleveland yesterday, Mrs. Campbell of Wisconsin erose to call atention to the fact that there was on the floor of tho convention a woman who had christened a steamship by breaking a bottle of water over its how, in place of champagne. This woman, who was called to the platform, was introduced as Mrs. E. A. Shores, in presenting her, Mise Willard said: “We will certainly hold up a woman who will bring in a new custom so good as that. We think a great deal of Mrs. Cleveland, and of how she stood for total abstinence under difficult conditions, and yet we can- it think t er would have the re THE GUN FACTORY Annual Report of Work at the Wash- ington Navy Yard. ORDNANCE WHOLLY AND PARTLY DONE Improvements Made in the Different Shops and Plants. — A NEW FOUNDRY NEEDED ‘The annual report of Commander Jewell, superintendent of the naval gun factory at the Washington navy yard, is an inter- esting document, and gives a detailed ac- count of the ordnance work performed there during the past fiscal year. Ten thirteen-inch breech-loading ritles have been completed and the eleventh gun is now being rifled. Gun No. 12, the last of the lot authorized, has been completely assembled. Breech mechanisms have been fitted to three guns and the fitting of two others is nearly done. The manufacture of the mechanisms for the remaining guus | is well advanced, and they can be placed on the gums at the rate of one every two months. One thirteen-inch gun has been proved at the proving grounds with en- urely satisfactory results. This was gun uumber 2, in which the jacket stuck in assembling. Two other guns of this cal- iver are ready for Ue proving ground. All of the completed guus of tweive-inch cal- aber have been Mtted with breech mechan- isms. Three of these guns are yet lo be proved. Of the six now on hand two will go to the Texas and the remaining four to the Puritan. Of the twenty-live ten-inch guns completed, ten have been issued to service, three are ready for issue, assigned to the and another, which will also be assigned to that vessel, is in use at the Bethienem iron works, testing armor pilates. ‘he remaining eleven guus of ths caliber are to ve fitted with lignter breech mechanism. Six of the twelve eight-inch guns have been assigned to different ves- sels in commission, ‘'wenty-seven five-inch guns Were compieted during the year, mak- img the totat number of forty-cauber guns completed fifty-eight. During the year seventeen four-inch guns were completed, muking in all sixty-seven guns of that cal- iber. ‘The total number of breech-loading guns mancfactured and in process of manu- facture at the naval gun factory is as follows: Twelve — thirteen-inc' thirteen twelve-inch; twenty-five ten-inch; sixty- seven eight-inch; one hundred and forty- one six-inch; eighty-six five-inch guns; one hundred and seven four-inch guns; one eight-inch Hurst gun, and one eight-inch nickel steel gun. Tbe 'Thirtcen-Inch Mount. The tbirteen-inch mount has been com- pleted and is now in use at the proving ground. The mount proper has proved en- urely satisfactory, but experience with it has shown that, while the hydraulic piping was sufficiently strong to stand the press- ure for which it was intended when stead- ily applied, it was not strong enough to stand the hammering effect produced by pumping the water through a long supply pipe. This experience has resulted in the adoption of heavier piping for all hydraulic mounts. A large portion of the castings for the twelve mounts for the battleships, which were ordered about the date of the last report, have been delivered, and work on four of these has progressed very satis- factorily. One of these mounts will soon be ted, and the four (intended for the Indiana) should be completed by July 1, Ast. Satisfactory progress has been the manufacture of imounts for guns of other caliber. Complete ordnance outtits have been supplied to the Marbleheal, Co- lumbia, Olympia, Cinctantti and Raleigh, and partial outfits to the Minneapolis, Maine, Texas, Puritan, Amphitrite, Monad- nock and Terror. By direction of the 1 iron projectiles has t projectiles as are a completed, as they are required for target practice or proof firmg. ‘Ten S-inch shell for the Hurst gun, ten experimental high- explosive shell’ and neh solid shot have been manufactured. yectiles to the manber of 24,069 have been prepared for service since the estab- LUshraent of the gun factory. Difficulty in Getting Sound Castings. “The work on the mounts,” says Com- mander Jewell, “has been muzh delayed by the great difficulty of obtaining sound steel castings. A large proportion of the cast- irgs received from several makers are re- jected, either on ballistic test or on account of blowholes, or other imperfections. The rejections on one coniract emounted to more than forty per cent of the number of castings received. Such a state of affairs is extremely disadvantageous, not alone be- cause of the delay, but also because of the work that is expended before the defects are discovered. Under the present system of competitive bids manufacturers take con. tracts at prices which cannot be remunera- tive if sound castings, made of good ma- terial, are to be furnished. “It Is a question worthy of serious con- sideration whether che government should not make its own steel castings. It is be- Leved, if the remodeling vf the foundry is authorized, that a steel-casting plant could be added at a moderate increase of expen- diture.”” Improvements at the Factory. In a chapter in regard to the various im- provements that are being made at the factory, Commander Jewell says: The conversion of the mold loft Into a forge shop is not yet accomplished. The work on the building is about completed, and foundations for the hammers, cranes and furnaces have been laid. Requisitions have been made for material for blast pipes for furnaces and forges, and these will soon be supplied and the forges erected. A new hammer has been ordered, but is not yet delivered. The transfer of the other ham- mers from the old shop cannot be made until the blast is ready. The new shop will be in operation in about four months. ‘The equipment of the breech mechanism shop has been completed. A small building in which breech mechanism work was formerly done has been converted into a projectile shop. The transfer to this shop of the shell lathes, hydraulic press, etc., which were before distributed in- different building: ile work to be concentrated in the new shop, and has re- duced the cost of handling of the projec- tiles in a marked degr+e. The output has iso been materially inc turned out every day, of 2,600 per month. Four new boring mills have been added to the plant of the gun carriage shop. Two others that have been ordered are not yet delivered. ‘The extension of the gun carriage shop is in progress. A part of it has been cleared out and piles have been driven for the crane supports. This work cannot be taken in hand thoroughly until after the transfer of the forge shop. An appro- priation for tools for this shop is now available and requisitions for the tools have been made. The work of fitting the breech mechan- isms to the 13-inch guns, which was for- merly done in the gun shop, jis now done outside, a portable shed having been con- structed to cover the breech ends of two guns at the same time for the protection of the tools and the workmen. ‘The drill- ing on these guns is do.e by means of electric drills, which have also been ap- plied to other work in the open. Improvements have been made in the methods of doing certain portions of the work on the guns and mounts. The most notable of these is an attachment to one of the large gun lathes for rifling the recol) cylinders of the large mounts. This at- tachment has reduced the time of rifling @ 13-inch recoil cylinder from thirty-two days to less than eight days. Condition of the Foundry. The condition of the roof of the foundry has occasioned considerable apprehension. Tho roof 1s covered with slate, but the trusses and sheathing are of wood, and these have become so dry and penetrated with dust that some of them almost inva- riably take fire when a large casting ts poured. This*has come to be such a matter of course that the first operation in pre- made in Au the casting of topped, but such cast are to be paring for pouring Is to lead out the fire hose and station hands at the water heads. The roof should he replaced by one of metal, but before this is done the foundry should be remodeled and rearranged. As it stands at present, it is antiquated, and the furnaces, which have been long in use, are worn out. A design has been prepared for a foundry suited to modern require- mergs and an estimate has been submitted for building and equipping it. —————+- 2 DEMAND A NEW SCHOOL. Soldiers’ Home Citizens Take Issne With the School Board. The regular mecting of the Woodburn Citizens’ Association was held last evening at Kelly's store, on Rock Creek Church road, the principal business before the meeting being the question of getting a new school building in place of the old two-room frame structure, which was built more than thirty years ago. During the discussion of the question it was stated that since the erection of the building, an ground donated by a citizen, the repairs have not cost $1,000. In the two rooms there are ninety-six children, there being three or four grades in either room. ‘Inis, members of the association said, gives the children about one-third cr one-fourth tne education received by children who attend schools where there are the proper facili- ties. A plan for the enlargement of the Brightwood school was agreed upon, and an appropriation of $14,000 made for that purpose. It was stated that the school there would be plenty large enough if chil- dren of the state of Maryland did not crowd out the children,who are entitied to the school privileges. Dr. Allan Walker, chairman of the school committee, presented a resolution, which was read and adopted with some moditica- tions. The resolution gives in detail the work that has been done before the Com- missioners, and recites the fact that the Commissicners placed in their estimates an item of $14,000 for the purchase of a te and erection of the building, and then reads: “Whereas, at a meeting of the trustees of the public schools held at the Franklin building November 12 the com- mittee on school buildings and grounds (Mr. Bowen, chairman) submitted an ad- Verse report on our petition for the con- demnation of the present school house and site, this committee informing the rest of the trustees that the present school house cecupied a better school site and had better accommodations than the average country school, and also recommended the trustees to delay action until the conditions justi fied the erection of an eight-room school. The foliowing report was adopted and re- ferred to the District Commissioners: “Resolved, That the citize association cf this community view with surprise and indignation this action of the trustees of publi: schools; that we consider the state- ments made by Mr. Bowen and other mem- bers of the committee untrue and inten- Uonally misleading, when they say in toeir report that the Soldiers’ Home school and site 1s better than the average country school. The statements are intentionally misleading by their cunning use of the word country in place of county. Now, this is not country any more than Brovkiand, Brightwood, Fenleytown, Mount Pleasant and other places where there are good brick schools. The statements are uutrue, because the average county school «not country school) possesses a great deal bet- ter accommodation than the Soldiers’ Home school, in that they are more modern and have more than two rooms, and they are not frame, but built of brick. Tae Soldiers’ Home school is nearly thirty years old, and has only two rooms, while most of the other county schools are larger und are constructed of brick. “Further, that we ecrnestly beg the Commissioners, in view of the foregoing facts,.that they place no reliance upon the report of the committee on school build: ings and grounds, as they are not aware ef the conditions of the school and the present need of a new building, and do not seem to care to find out.” In conclusion, the resolution requests the Commissioners to continue in their esti- mates the item of $14,000 for the new building. ‘The resolution was adopted. vote the assoc By a rising ation tendered its thanks to The Evening Star for the interest taken in affairs pertaining to the welfare of the District, and then adjourned. -—_—_—> REUBEN F.

Reasons (umnecessary to detail at this time) have hitherto prevented. The inclosed points out what is expected from the officer and the emolument of the office. If Mr. Richard Harrison, ow your son-in-law, which I congratulate you for, inclines to accept it I will bring him for- ward for nomination in the Senate. He must decide without delay, and if on the side of acceptance, as there are many candidates for the office and the public business suffers for want of the appoint- ment, let me hear from you or him wy return of the post. My best wishes, in which Mrs. Washing- ton unites, attend you and Mrs. Craik and the rest of your family. 1 am always your sincere friend and affectionate ser- vant. (Signed) GEORGE WASHINGTON, Doct.

Traynor of Detroit, national president of the American Protective As- sociation, has issued a letter to the order claiming the great republican victory throughout the country as really theirs and congratulating them. He say! ery man elected upon the state ticket in Michigan is an American, and, with one or two exceptions, either a member of our noble order or in sympathy with it, and we send eight out of the twelve Repre- sentatives to Washington. More than fifty per cent of the members of the new state legislature sre members of the A. P. A. order. As with Michigan, so with every other state where we are organized. “Illinois, outside of Chicago, has made almost a clean sweep, a feat which lowa has also accomplished. Minnesota has turned politics upside down and replaced a large number of her corrupt politicians w th honorable men, loyal to our princi- P Massachusetts, Indiana, Missouri, Wyo- ming, Montana, Washington, Colorado, Maryland, West Virginia, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Oregon, New Jersey, Nebraska, Tennessee, the Dakotas and Kansas have achieved like results. Kentucky and Cali fornia have torn the hands of the priests from the political helm and placed it in the hands of loyal Americans. “Watch them most closely in New York city,” he concludes. “Tammany ruffianism will be succeeded for a short Ume at least with genteel, good government, but let the fact not escape your notice that papal ruffans will in almost every instance be succeeded by papists of at least exterior respectability. Papacy will still get its share of the public plunder, and the last state of New York will be worse than the first.” see FALLS CHURCH. John M. Newlon bas leased from V.

Crocker of Fulls Church was finally selected to do the work, which will be commenced at once, and com- pleted as soon as possible. This is consider- ed a very important matter, as there has never been an oilicial survey made of the town. The road commissioners of Fairfax coun- ty have decided to open a new road from Falls Church to Fairfax Court House, be- ginning. at S. D.
