The University of Pennsylvania crew's trip to England still hangs fire, but a meet- ing will be called immediately after the crew gets back from its vacation and the entire matter settled, as well as the subject of a coach. The proposition to row Colum- bia ig not receiving any attention. In the first place, it is doubtful whether they wiil have a crew on the water, and in the next, Pennsylvania is going to Seck big game, as | in previous years. There is very little doubt that Pennsylvania's red and blue tag will) shell at Henley in July next. ‘ihe crew wants to go abroad and the rowing boar are just as anxious to have the: go, and as the maney question is not likeiy to stand in the way, the prospects for ihe trip «re exceedingly favorable. - No More Drafting on Colleges. At the annual meeting of the Intercol- legiate Association of Amateur Athletes to be held next month, a resolution will be introduced forbidding college athletes to represent other organizations than their respective colleges at any athletic meeting. The import of this move will be understood upen scanning the list of A. A. U. cham- pions who carried the New York A. C. colors to the fronf at the last champion- ship meeting. The famous Winged Foot erganization kas always made a large draft upon the college cracks, but here- after will be called upor to develop its own material or send abroad for it— a by no means unusual proceeding. aoe ONLY A JOKE. White House Sentry Box Stove Was Not Stolen. There was a terrible rumor in circula- tion last night, that some bold, bad man had invaded the sacred precincts of the White House grounds, under cover of dark- ness, and had actually made oif with the stove in the sentry box directly in front of the President's mansiofi. ‘The gravity of the alleged offense lay in the possibilities of dire danger to the chief magistrate of the country, for if it ts possible for bur- glars to run off with the furniture of the White House, under the very eyes of the policer.en, it might also be pussibie for them to run off with some of its inmates. The fact of the matter is, however, that the whole thing was a joke, perpetrated by one policeman on another, who had tem- porarily left him in charge of the watch box. ‘his incident demonstrates that it will be necessary in the future for the presidential watchmen to guard ag i each other’s pranks, as well as to see that no improper characters get too near the presidential presence in the wee smali hours of the night. —-- > GENERAL NEWS NOTES.

As 1s its custom, the Association of Old- est Inhabitants held a business meeting this morning before attending the recep- tion at the White House. After the mem- bers had come to order, President J. Mar- bury, jr., congratulated’ them on being able to meet again. During the year the asso- ciation had suffered, he said, great loss by death, those having died being W. Cam- icack, Thomas B, Entwisle, G.E.B. French, John T. Given, W. H. Goods, Dr. H. Kalu- sowski and W. H. Nalley. Mr. Marbury mude personal reference to each of the, above, and then he said that the associu- tion has much to be thankful for, mainly because the members are residents of the beautiful city of Wahiugton—a community where more kindly feeiing toward one another exists than any other place in the land. Hearty Response to Churitable Ap- peals. According to Mr. Marbury calls for charity are always met with a hearty re- sponse here. He praised the police for distributing charity intrusted to them with a liberal hand. In this connection, Mr. Marbury said, the newspapers are de- serving of the greatest praise. “Look at The Evening Star,” he added. “Doing all in its power to aid the poor and suffering and heading the lists of contributions with generous donations of its own.” Mr. Mar- bury thanked his fellow-members for their Kindness to him during his term of office, and wished them a happy New Year. Vice President Wm. Beron offered what he termed a prediction. It read as fol- lows: “tail advent of 1895, When work and business will revive, So our country will survive A century after another five.” The prediction was approved by the meeting. z Mic. sveseph Prather, chairman of the finane:al committee, reperted that upon ex- anonation the accounts of the treasurer were found to be correct and the books neat!y kept. Treasurer R. Ball later read his report, which showed a good-sized bal- ance in the treasury, The corresponaing se:retary was directed to send a lett-r of condolence to the family of the late Dr. H. Kalusowsk!. On motion, is chair appointed a committee, compris- essrs. Bail, Weinberger aud Cutts, to take ihto cons'deration and prepare for an appropriate celebration on February 22 in connection with the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Cutts extended an invitation to the members to attend an installation of Grand Army officers tomorrow evening, and the association then repaired to the White House to attend the President's re- ception.

It May Be Still Further Amended Before Action is Taken. POSSIBLY ANOTHER SUBSTITUTE A Provision for Bonds Necessary for Effectual Legislation. EXTRA SESSION TALE The holiday recess is very nearly over, and rothing has “turned up.” Therefore Congress will come together on Thursday with as little idea of what they are‘going tc do as they had when the vacation be- gan. The administration leaders are still groping painfully in the dark. The result of the vote on the financial bill in the House is so ufcertain that they are dis- posed to temporize and delay. There is talk of still further changes from the Car- lisle bill than were made in the proposed substitute, and it may be that yet another new bill will be substituted for the substi- tute by the committee. The substitute not having been proposed in the House as yet, it, may be changed entirely before it is presented to take the place of the original bill, Merely Time Wasted. Underneath all the effort to do something is the discouraging feeling that it is merely time wasted, and the prospect is ever pres- ent that they may at any time be called upon to take up an entirely different meas- ure for the immediate relief of the treasury. The necessity for relief is steadily grow- ing greater, and there 1s a painful conscious- ness that even if the financial bill could be passed through both houses of Congress its effect upon the treasury would be too remote to meet the present exigencies. Moreover the suggestion of bankers that the discontinuance of the use of bonds as security for the national banks would make it less easy for the Secretary of the Treas- ury to place turther bond Issues excitese doubts as to the safety of this action, since the passage of the Carlisle bill would not obviate the necessity, rapidly approaching, for another loan to supply the deficiencies of revenue. Must Be a Provision for Bonds. There is a growing conviction that any legislation which did not carry with it a provision for bonds would be entirely in- effectual to relieve the present situation, unless supplemented by a measure pro- viding a source of revenue immediately avatiable. Coombs of Brooklyn is pressing his proposition for the retention of bonds as the basis of bank currency and the is- suance of bonds to take up the legal tender notes, and it is said to be gaining strength. The possibility of final action on any propo- sition, however, still seems extremely re- mote. Talk of a Caucus. While the democrats of the House are talking about a caucus, nothing can be de- termined upon as to that until Congress reassembles. No one has any faith that anything could be accomplished by a cau- cus. It would not be binding upon those who attended, and there would be Ittle better prospect of an agreement being reached in that way than by means of per- scnal conferences. As the hopelessness of the situation impresses itgelf more strongly iends of the administration they turn to the republicans for assistance. The fact that the republicans are more in agree- ment with Mr. Cleveland on finance than are most of his own party compels this, An Extra Session Advised. At first the democrats were almost unan- imous in opposition to an extrasession of the Fifty-fourth Congress. A great many have new changed their minds on this subject. Several have talked with the President in person on the matter, and have strongly advised that if this session makes a fail- ure he should call the Fifty-fourth Con- gress together at once. They do not dis- guise the fact that they are induced to take this position largely because they do pot think anything can be accomplished by the republican House, and they would like company in their failure. eariy all the speculation of the hour is < upon the assumption that nothing will it from the efforts during the present ion. A LOVELY SPOT. Another Characteristic of Jackson City Revealed. Jackson City, where law and order is a thing of the past, proves to be not only a nest for policy players and gamblers, but also for thieves, and the detectives, in mak- ing an investigation yesterday, learned from the persons arrested of their visit to the Virginia settlement and of how they disposed of the plunder. These facts were learned in connecttun with the robbery com- mitted at J. W. Brooks’ furnishing store on Pennsylvania avenue. The show window was broken and nearly $100 worth of goods stolen. Beimg afraid to dispose of the plun- der here, it was taken aciss the river and there disposed Of at zucuon to the highest biuuer, Lhere was no attempt at conceal- ment, and the 32 underwear was sold at froin 25 tv 50 cents. ‘Tne purcnasers of the goods wore them here, uuu from them tacy were recovered.

In the morning when he had recovered from the effects of the liquor he fcund that he had slept in the open air in a cart. Detectives Weedon, Boyd and Horne, and Precinct Detective Heian, investigated the case and the prisoners will be given a hearing tomorrow. 2 Se BELL WAS ARRESTED. Held in New York for Alleged Frauds Here. At the request of Inspector Hollinberger the New York police officials arrested there yesterday afternoon Irving Bell, a young man of about twenty years of age, on a arge of false pretenses. Bell is said to have come here from Marlboro’, Md., and about four or five months ago was arrested here on suspicion of being connected with a gang who were working Washington mer- chants by ordering goods sent to vacant houses, taking at the time of ordering cer- tain parts of the goods, upon the assurance that the goods would be paid for when de- livered. For some reason the charges against Bell were ignored and he was re- leased. Recently it was reported to local police headquarters that Bell had been en- gaged in obtaining money on bogus checks from several persons here, the young man, it was said, inducing the person to cash the checks after making small purchases. Saturday evening Detectives Horne and Boyd iocated Bell in a hack on C street, but he escaped from them. Bell was infatuated with a certain girl here, known as Carrie Hastings, a former inmate of the House of Mercy, it is said, and yesterday he was located in New York through a letter written by him to the girl. The New York authorities were asked to hold him for ten days until an indictment could be fourd here. es Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police depart- ment has received the following additional contributions for the poor: Madeline Sin- clair, $25; Pauline Harris, $1 and clothing; ‘is.

Giles —— PRESIDENT ELIOT ON WOMEN. He Scems to Think Them Too Capti- vating for an Everyday World. From the New York World. In Boston they are still discussing the re- fusal of the Harvard Debating Ciub to meet the Boston University Debating Club be- cause there are women in the latter organ- ization. The challenge, which was an un- conditional one, came from Harvard, so that the Boston University people are the most indignant at the unchivalrous attitude of the Cambridge society. One of the irate youths of Boston University went out to talk the metter over with President Eliot, and incidentally he learned a good deal concerning that learned gentleman’s views on women, - President Eliot regretted the action of th Harvard club in withdrawing from its chal- lenge, but said that the custom of the so- ciety had always been to refuse to debate. with women. He said women were sure to win the sympathy of the judges and the audience, and that the Harvard society, be- ing composed of men, would thus be placed at an unfair advantage. “But,” argued the Boston University youth, ‘“‘would it not be possible to have judges of such high position and critical integrity that they wouid not be influenced by any considerations their sympathies might impose?” “We certainly might think it possible,” answered President Eliot, “but such per- sons are hard to find. The sympathies a woman speaker wili excite invariably tend to influence judgment in her favor.” ‘Therefore, the great fight is deferred, in order that the men of Harvard may not be placed at an unfair advantage by the women of Boston University. tee Crdect Dennet's Case. An Annapolis dispatch says: It is rumor- ed here that shculd Naval Cadet Dennet be permanently reinstated that Capt. Cooper, superintendent of the academy, will ask to be relieved. Cadet Dennet was suspended and reported to tne Secretary of the Navy on thé charge of “gouging” in an examination. Secretary Herbert ordered him to ret to his studies pending the findings of a court of inquiry. By ——_—-+e-— Made Palatable.

An Experiment Showing the Weight They Can Haul. I have a weakness for snails, and one day, having found a fine specimen, I tied a fine cord around his shell after having fas- tened a bit of iron to the other end of the sume, in order to keep him until I needed him. The iron was bigger than he was, and I supposed it heavy enough to hold him, until my attention was attracted by a ‘aragging, scraping sound on the window- sill where 1 had ccrralied my captive. This aroused my curiosity, and I deter- mined to find out how much one snail could pull. I loosed the string from the bit of tron and made it fast to a letter-scales, ani watched Mr. Snail as he pulled the ind! cator around to very nearly nine ounces. Then I took a little match-box such as watches are bought in, put it on two pen- cils by way of wheels, and proceeded to itch up my snail. I then loaded up my miniature cart with cents and found. ke could still pull it up to a weight of nine and a quarter ounces, that is, about twenty times his own weight, whick was half an ounce. In any country where time fs no object, this new motive power may be of interest to those studying motors. —_——__ THE SILKEN PETTICOAT. Brocaded Silk Garmeats Covered With Lace and Ribben Rosettes. From the New York World, The petticost of the season is one of the incongruities of fashion. A skirt of cheviot or serge may hide beneath its plainness a gorgeous petticoat of brocaced siik frilled witb lace and caught here and there with ribbon rosettes. The fashionable petticoat is fit for a ball. It is made very fuil, with orgacpipe plaits at the back and frequently a feather bone inserted sround the her. This provides the skirt with the correct Mare and makes it unnecessary to line the dress skirt with hair cloth. One cf the most gorgeous pet- ticoats to be worn beneath a dancing gown is made of white silk broeaJed in gold feathers. From the knee to the bottom of the skirt there is a succession of lace ruf- fles. Gold lace and ruffles of imitation duchesse alternate. Petticouts for street ur are made of chan; Je taffeta or black brocaded stiks. Bleck lace and black satin resettes ure am we fashicnable trimusings. One of the meny skirts belonging to a Sih avenue society woman is of black lk veaced in pink clever blossoms. The skirt is trm- med with a deep Spanish flounce of black lace fesivoned here and there with clover cclored ribbons. Ali these elaborate petticoats are Jaun' perfumed. When rosettes are used as @ trimp.ing each has its center formed of a wee sachet Say. Other petiicoats have the hen interlined with a unin layes of conon sprinkled with sachet powder. : —+0+ A ROLAND FOR HIS OL! Re The Scotch Professor Thought “At Home” a Game Two Could Play At. From Tit-Bits. A story has becn current among the stu- dents In Aberdeen which showed that, up to a comparatively recent date, ancient prejudices were retained by the old-fash- ioned Scotch professors. It rclated to the late Principal Pirie, who had a weakness for the refinements of life. a Just after “at home” cards became fash- fonable one of the driest specimens of the old professional regime was surprised to receive a missive which read 2s follows: “Principal and Mrs. Pirie present their compliments to Prof. T-—, and hope he is well. Principal and Mrs. Pirie will be ‘at home’ ‘on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock.” This was something which evidently re- quired an answer, but the recipient of it was quite equal to the emergency. He wrote: . “Pyof. T--—— returns the compliments of Principal and Mrs. Pirie, and informs them that he is very well. Prof. T—— fs glad to hear that Principal and Mrs. Pirie wiil be at home on Thursday evening at S$ o'clock. Prof. T— will also be at home.” ——_ e+ —_——— The women's council of the Nineteenth Century Club. embracing a membership of 4,000 women of Memphis, Tenn., has passed a resolution to boycott Congressman W.
