Mr. Alexander is chairman of the general commitixe, and will preside at the reception. He r-ports encouraging notices from members of Mosby’s command from all parts of the United States. Many of his men have been successful in their business affairs since the war, and no means will be spared to make the reception first-class in every particular, and one long to be remembered. Col. Mosby is held in high esteem by his old associates, and has very many bosom friends in the ranks of the southern soldiers everywhere. Ar- Fangements have been made for many prcminent confederate commanders to be preSent. Cruelty to Animals. Arrangements have been about completed for the organization of a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in this city, and at an early date a meeting will be called for that purpose.

NEW YORK, January 3.—Entries to the Tich stakes of the Coney Island and Brook- lyn Jockey Clubs have closed. The Coney Island Club's events are the Futur- ity for 1807, great trial and double event for 1895. The number of nominations re- ceived to these stakes is 314 to the Futur- ity, forty-nine to the great trial and forty- two to the double event. This .s an excellent showing at this time, as many owners wait until the last hour before mailing their selections. - Many prominent stables while making entries to the Futurity have not entered ary youngsters for the great trial or the Gcuble event. Among the owners who have overlooked these valuable prizes are J. E. Pepper, M. F. Dwyer P. J. Dwyer, Richard Croker, August Belmont, J. W. Rogers, Byron McClelland, G. Walbaum, Charles Fleishman, J. B. Haggin and the Brookdale stables. Many of them, no doubt, will be heard from through later m: rt, Is. Marcus Daly heads the list in nomina- tions to the Futurity, being credited with fifty-two entries. Major Hancock and L. O. Appleby are also heavy nominators, while Gideon and Daly, R. W. Walden, W. C. Hardy, S. Sanford & Sons, Perry Belmont, S. S. Brown, J. A., A. H. and D. H. Morris, J. &. McDonald, Madison stables and R. A. Faker are among the list who have en- tered in all of the stakes. A Ceack Shot Goes Abroad. NEW YORK, Janvary 3.—Four repre- sentative American pigeon shots were to have sailed for Europe on the Majestic. Frank Mark, Edgar Murphy, L. S. Thomp- sen and Fred. Hoey were going. They had mapped out their plans and dreamed of big winnings. Heey was the only one of the quartet who finally concluded to go. Hartman and Hubbard declined to give Murphy a leave of absence. George Mark and Mr. Thomp- son “ound that business would detain them. So Hoey started alone. After some pre- liminary work in England he will go to Monte Carlo. . Bookmakers Kept Busy. Another crowd journeyed over to Alex- arder Island track yesterday and they saw three favcrites and two outsiders win over a heavy and slow track. The racing was not interésting, the winners win- ning rather easily. Ten bookmakers weighed in and were kept busily engaged. The winners were Mickey B., 10 to 1; Bob- olirk, 4 to 5; Prince John, even money; Joyese, 7 to 10, and Cheddar, 20 to 1. < ‘Too Much Base Ball. Manager Bancroft and the Cincinnati Base ball Club returned home from New Orleens, their exhibition games having proved a rank failure. Each piayer’s share of receipts for the trip was $12. The Basket Ball League. There will be a meeting of the athletic clubs of the city interested in forming a basket ball league at the Columbia Ath- letic Club hou: this evening at 7:30 o'clock. Considerable interest has been aroused in this ex -cllent winter game, and ‘ge and successful organization is a looked for. ee ee PRACTICE OF MEDICI the District Health Officer Has Drawn a Bill, Renton Dr. Woodward has prepared the bill reg- ulating the practice of medicine, which he has sulmmitted to the Commissioners, rather in his capacity as health officer than as a medical man, and he thinks that the results of his labor as embodied in the bill presented to tiie Commissioners, will be reasonably satisfactory to all parties con- cerned. Physicians of all schools in good standing have long admitted the necessity for % more stringent guard on medical ice in this city, and while the proposed 1 perfectly, yet all seem to realize that it is « fair compromise and infinitely better than no law at all. In conversation with a Star reporter this afternoon Dr. Woodward expressed him- self 2s of the opinion that the public gen- erally was more vitally interested in the matter even than the medical men, and said that while the best law would nat- urally be the one that would be satisfac- tory to the largest number of physicians, yet if they failed to agree the public, or rathe~ the authorities, should take the mat- ter into their own hands and settle it cnce for all, as the main purpose of such a movement is the protaction of the public more than of physicians. In almost every state of the Union, he said, there are laws providing for regular examinations of those who would practice medicine and setting a standard of training and experience for all such. There is nothing of the sort worth speaking of in the District of Co- Iumbia, and it is to remedy this defect that Dr. Woodward has been laboring for weeks past. He has submitted his pro- posed bill to a number of the leading phy- sicians of the city, representing the dif- ferent schools of medicine, and it is ex- pected that when it comes up before the Commissioners for action it will not meet with any serious opposition. Could Not Agree. ° Last year the Medical Society of the Dis- trict of Columbia appointed a committee to draft a bill to regulate the practice of med- icine here. About the same time a similar committee was appointed by the followers of the homeopathic school, and the two committees held several conferences with- out coming to any satisfactory agreement. Afterward there was introduced into Con- gress the bill which was prepared by the committee of the Medical Society, of which Dr. Woodward, who was then the coroner, was < member. The bill was referred to the Commissioners, and at a meeting held some time ago the views held by the three schools of medicine—the regular, the hom- ecpathic and the eclectic—were presented, and the Commissioners took the whole mat- ter under advisement. It was not expected even by the members of the committee which had drafted the bill that the result of their work would be finally adopted as law, and it has been Dr. Woodward's de- sire to strike a general average from the conflicting views of the three scnools. ee SS OKLAHOMA DESPERADOES KILLED. Bob Moore and George East Ran Down by Deputies. Two star desperadoes who have infested Oklahoma territery for a lopg timo, have been run to the ground and killed. Before they cied they fought a hard battle. The outlaws were Bob Moore and George East, both of whom are suspected of having been implicated in the Canadian, Texas, express robbery and the killing of Sheriff McGee. News of the affair was received at United States Marshal Nix’s office at Guthrie yes- terday. Deputy Marshal Bill Williams and @ strong detachment of deputies had been chasing the outlaws for several days. They had traced them from place to place, but had not got within fighting distance till Monday. Although the sides were une- qual—iialf & dozen or more deputies to two outlaws—the latter were armed to the teeth and their natural desperateness made them no easy mark. They were rounded up in a desolate valley in the southwestern part of Washita county about noon, and when commended to surrender took a stand and began using their Winchesters. Their aim was good, for in the first volley one of the posse fell, seriously wounded by a ball in the His name is rot given. The next instant, however, both lay stretched on the ground dead with bullets from the deputies’ guns in their hearts. The outlaws were a veritable walking ar- senal and Fad they not been killed so soon would doubtless have laid some of the dep- uties to rest. They were both old offenders with envieble reputations among their craft, and their riddance is joyous news to the territorial officials generally, as they were the constant dread of Oklahomans. soe A New Captain of the Watch. Secretary Carlisle has appointed Capt. M. P. Connelly of Chicago to be captain of the watch in the Treasury Department, in place of Capt. Putnam, who resigned sev- eral weexs ago. Capt. Connelly is a vet- evan of the late war and was formerly a special agent of the Interior Department. MT. PLEASANT CITIZENS Many Matters Discussed at the Meeting Last Night. Assessing Benefits for the Rock Creek Park—School Matters, Police, Chari- fies and Fire Department. Last night’s snow storm had no effect upon the attendance at the regular month- ly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association, and it «vas the most largely attended held for some time. President J. W. Somerville presided, and after Messrs. Emile Berliner, Dcnald McPherson and J. A. Watson had been elected to mem- bership, exhibited a map, which the at- torney for the Rock Creek raflroad had stated showed the route of the proposed railway through Mt. Pleasant and its vicin- ity. It was explained that the plan of the Washington and Georgetown railroad was to run to Mount Pleasant by way of 18th street to Kalorama Heights, by way of Columbia road, and through 17th street. That by the Metropolitan company would be out Connecticut avenue and Florida avenue to 17th street by Pierce mill road, or Lowell street to main gate of thg Na- ticnal Park. It was also stated that the Metropolitan company would not extend its line until after the completion of the new system on the 9th street line. Urder the call of committees the chair- man of the committee on sewers submitted a letter he had received from Captain Beach of the District engineer depart- ment, stating that a temporary sewer might be constructed on Grant ‘street in cornection with the new school house, the cest to be charged to the property owners. After a- short discussion, in which Mr. Stephan stated that the new school house cculd not be used unless a sewer was constructed, the committee was dirccted to insist upon the construction of the sewer without an assessment upon the property owners solely. Mr. Chapin Brown, from the committee on schools, reported that but $78 would re- main from the new school house appro- priation after the completion and furnish- ing of the school, and that the committee had recommended that the Olmstead black- beard be placed in the school. Fire and Charities. From the committee on fire and police departments Mr. Buckalew reported prog- ress. The fire department officials were disposed, he said, to postpone action in the matter of alarm boxes for the village until after the ccmpletion of the new ergine house. The present system, that of telephones, was both uncertain and dila- tory, although the chief engineer had Stated that the section in and about Mt. | Pleasant was practicaily unprotected at the present time. The chairman of the committee on chari- ties, Mr. Sleman, reported that several cases of destitution had been relieved, and arnounced that a charity entertainment would be given in the village church on the 23d instant. President Somerville announced that it was expected that in a day or two the central relief committee of the District would reorganize, and upon his suggestion the committee on charities of the associa- tion was instructed to ask of the central committee such an appropriation as was found necessary for the relief of destitu- tion in Mount Pleasant. Last year, he said, the people of the village had ‘con- tributed about $500 to the central commit- bes and had not asked for an appropria- tion. Reck Creek Park. Under the head of new business Mr. Chapin Brown called attention to the fact that on Saturday next the Rock Creek Park commission would meet for the pur- pose of assessing benefits resulting from the location of the park. He thought the commission would decide that all of Mount nt had been benefited, and would, s, include all the District in the f benefits. He believed that ‘the s: n would decide that all adjoin- ing property had been benefited, although not believe that such a thing could be proven. He did not believe that assess- for such a park could legally ve maintained, especially as no benefits had been assessed when the Zoo Park was taken. President Somerville said that he had been told that Commissioner R. Ross Per- ry had held that the benefits would extend as far as 7th str nd Mr. J. H. Jolly said he could not understand how the peo- pte of the District could be assessed for such a pleasure ground, when they had not been ccnsulted in the matter and had rot wished it. Finally, a committee, consisting of Messrs. Brown, Walbridge and Stephan, was appointetd ‘to attend a meeting of citi- zens interested, to be held at the office of Carlisle & Johnson, Fendail building, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and also to attend the meeting of the commission on Satur- day. Other Matters. The next matter introduced was a sug- gestion from Mr. Nerliner that some one general name for the section in and adja- cent to Mount Pleasant be selected. The section was now, he said, called by many different names, and such a state of affairs was not only confusing, but also robbed the section of much of its prestige. The president thought the suggestion a good one, and at his suggestion the matter was laid on the table for discussion at the next meeting. Mr. Chatfield stated that a numerously sigred petition of people on Howard ave- nue had been preseated to the Engineer Commissioner, protesting against the pro- posed widening of the avenue to 105 feet, and after a brief discussion the action of the signers was approved by the associa- tion. The association then adjourned to meet next month, —— The Milton Flats Suit. In the report of the filing of a bill in equity by Houston and William Corcoran Hill against George Brown Hill and others it was inadvertently stated yesterday that the parties were heirs of the late Wm. W. Corcoran. The suit in question impleads none of the heirs of Mr. Corcoran, suggests no reflection upon the motives or moral conduct of any of the parties to the suit, and does not allege management of the property by Mrs. Fannie Eugenia Hill. The object of the suit is the appointment of a receiver for the Milton Flats, on H between 1ith and 18th streets, and for the sale of the same and a distribution of the proceeds therefrom according to the ascertained rights of the parties. —+—__- Officers Elected. At a meeting of Mount Vernon Lodge, No. 50, Shield of Honor, held last night, the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing term: Worthy master, Wm. O’Mealy; junior master, W. F.

Mr. L. Cabel{ Wyjliamson, one of the receivers appointed by Judge Cox for the Fidelity Building, Loan and Investment Associatjon, stated to a Star reporter this morning that the receivers would not be able to make a full report to the court for some time. He thought, however, that they would be able to report some time this morning. Referring to the application of certain stockholders for permission to continue the business; Mr. Williamson said that he was of the opinion that such permission would not be given. While he believed that certair benefits would result from such a continuance of the business, under the direction of the court, and by a board of directors elected by the stockholders from their own number, Mr. Williamson ex- plained that he feazcd that too many of the parties interested were opposed to it. Those parties, Mr. Williamson said, were perfectly satisfied, it seemed, to have the affairs and business of the association closed out as soon as practicable, and accept what they could get then rather than wait any longer. By closing out the business, Mr. William- son was of the opinion that about $35,000 would be lost. Mr. F. L. Siddons, repre- senting certain of the claimants, opposes @ continuance of the business. Now, he contends, the claimants have a claim against the directors of the association for about $50,000, which amount, he says, was used for expenses, contrary to the law of the association. Should the business be continued, Mr. Siddons believes such claim would be lost. ——._. The Carlisle Plan Condemned. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In respect to the money question the peo- Ple of the United States have been often deceived ana often betrayed, and now it seems that they are to be humbugged. Mr. Carlisle’s so-called financial scheme, after Having been heralded by a chorus of very familiar trumpets, has been solemnly con- sidered by the currency committee, and it is now proposed to further dignify it by a prolonged debate. Ard all this fuss and parade is made about a bill which does not Propose any, even the least, change in re- spect to the cnaracter or quantity of real money, but only some. alterations as to the manner of issuing a redeemable paper currency to represent it. Is it possible that there is any member of Congress who does not see and cannot appreciate this distinction and who fails to perceive how trivial, relatively, to what the country de- mands are the propositions with which this bill deals? The people of the United States are suffering—struggling with a situation in which money constantly becomes dear- er and property cheaper, with ruin to debt- ors and universal business stagnation. What they want is relief. What they are oftered is a somewhat different distribution between bankers and the treasury of paper issues. which are not money, but only a form of credit, which must be satis- fied on demand with gold, and gold alone. So far as it has any significance it is an adjunct and support to a gold standard, and there is nothing in its reputed authorship to repel the suspicion that such is its real design. Considering what is needed and the demand which it is advertised to meet it is conspicuously inconsequential. Con- sressmen will do? sell to understand that very many intelligent people know, and the balance are rapiiily finding out, that the only money which helps hard times or pre- serves good times is real money—standard equality with anything else. This is a truth so incontrovertible that.no financial teacher who vaiues his reputation will venture to deny it. Can anybody find a line or a word in the Cariisle bill which sug- gests or looks to an increase of the volume of this kind of mo It does not even treat of the subject.| The people are starv- ing for nourishing pleural food and Mr. Carlisle and the bankers propose to satisfy them by some rearrdngement of the empty dishes on the table. If there is any Con- gressman who Ha&,not learned that re- deemable paper money, no matter what its amount, or where or.by whom issued, has no legitimate influence in raising values or improving prices, then he is in need of further education on the subject. If he fails to recognize that the people, in- structed by a cruel experience, are now getting to understand this fundamental truth I am quite sure that he deceives himself. The time for subterfuges is past. It wearies our patience in the midst of the universal distress to see Congress tediously debating, not a measure of relief, but what particular form of distress will be most agreeable to the bankers and money manip- ulators. What the people demand is an in- crease of standard money—a restoration by Congress of that which Congress took away. Nothing elsé ‘aan this is, as a measure of relief, worthy of serious consid- eration. You cannot cure a cancer with a court plaster. You cannot stop a hole by changing its form from round to square. You cannot raise by a penny the price of a pound of cotton or a bushel of wheat, or of anything else that is sold, by the issue in any quantity or in any manner, by a state or by the nation, of paper promises to pay in gold. c.

This in itself would offer but very little intereference to the passage of the gas. When the sun comes out, however, that frost nearest the top is melted through the heat of the day and falls in a liquid form to the first bend. There it freezes when the sun goes down again, after completely clogging the pipes. Shot to Kill. Gruber W. Castle, a boatman, well-known on the canal and by merchants and ship- pers here, shot at Van L. Wolz, night be- fore last, four times. Two cf the bullets passed through the intended victim’s coat and the third ploughed its way into his pocket, where it was later found. Tne shooting took place on the upper canal, and was instigated by jealousy. Wolz was seen by Castle talking to his (Castle’s) wife. The shooter has been placed under $1,000 bail.. Wolz ran for a long distance on being fired at, and for some time look- ed upon himself as being seriously in- jured. & Officers Installed. The recently elected officers of Hermione Lodge, No. 12, Knights of Pythias, were last night installed by Deputy Grand Chan- cellor B. F. Harper, assisted by Deputy Grand Master-at-Arms S. H. Gladmon and Deputy Grand Prelate Edward Jawmey. Those installed were C. W. Davis, past chancellor; Frank Harper, chancellor com- mander; Maurice Ball, vice chancellor; Lee Mockabee, prelate; Samuel C. Palmer, master of exchequer; P. R. Tavenner, keep- er of records and seal; John Thomas, mas- ter-at-arms; R. P. Shelton, outside guard; B. F. Harper, master of works. The lodge was entertained with addresses by Past Changellor Samuel C. Palmer, L. Mockabee, S. H.°Gladmon and others. The annual report of the master of exchequer and keeper of records and seal showed the ledge to be in an excellent condition, they having sixty-four members in good stand- ing, and over $3,000 in the treasury. Broth- er Palmer, who is the only survivor of the thirteen charter members who instituted the lodge on the 14th of March, 1886, stated that he remembered the time when Her- mione did not have three thousand cents, and that furthermcre there was a big balance on the wrong side of the books. He had personally, he said, written every line in the treasurer's book from the lodge’s institution. Tenicytown Festivities. The meeting of the old and new year was celebrated in Tenleytown on New Year eve with a ball given by the Aid Society of St. Ann’s parish. Messrs.
