Cause of the Widespread Demand for Paine’s Celery Compound. ‘The unequaled demand for Paine’s celery com- pound among the people of this state ts but an in- dex of the great good that it ts doing— Not only in this vicinity, not only in every south- ern state, but everywhere im the United States. Paine’s celsry compound, the wonderful remedy that makes people well, is beyond question the most reliable production of modern medical scleuce. Nobody disputes it. From the day it was first prescribed by that most eminent of Afnerican physicians, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, it has been recommended, prescribed and its merits extolled by the ablest of physicians, ‘The best mediesl journals have devoted almost un- limited space to the cures it has effected: ‘The daily press of the large cities has contained account after account of remarkable cases of “health restored by Palne’s celery compound.” Some of the most famous men and women in the country have very recently authorized the publica- tion of their unsolicited testimonials. They or their physicians have frankly told how, when all else had failed, Paise’s celery compound made them well. ‘The Chicago Licrald has just devoted s page or more to Interviews with prominent men and women in that city who have been made well the past year by Puine’s celery compound. ‘There are many in Washington whom it bas cured of serfous illness. Paine’s celery compound is the one specific for those nervous disorders, indigestion, neuralgia and rheumatism, for heart trouble, lassitude, sleepless- ness, from which men and women in this climate too gererally suffer. It cures not only speedily but permanently. It supplies the nerves with food; it makes new blood; it removes the cause of disease. J. 3. Bassett of Atlanta, Ga., whose portrait is given above, writes thus of his experience: “Having used Puine’s celery compound, I un- hesitativgly pronounce it the best medicine for tn- digestion, billousness, overwork, and the blood that I bave cver used.” Testimonials might be published by hundreds. ‘They all go to show that for any of those com- plaints that arise from an impaired nervous system or impure blood Paine’s celery compound should invarlubly be taker—for it makes people well. LATE SPORTING NEWS BUENA VISTAS TOOK THREE. They Defented the Bowling Team of the Catholic Club. In the bowling match last night on the alleys of the Buena Vista Club the home team defeated the team of the Young Men's Catholic Club three straight. The first and second games of the Buena Vistas were good team scores, and in the third they rolled their first “star” game of the season. ‘The individual work of Henry Laue was by far the best of the tournament. He bowled 570 pirs, an average of 100 per game, which treaks the best previous record of , made by Harry Mason of the Columbias. He also made 215 pins for the highest individual run to date. The highest previous run was made by Capt. Schulteis of the Carrols. Capt. Lansdale bowled down the greate: number (4) of pins for his team, and | Rupert Lehman made the highest indi- yidual run for his team, 185 pins. Henry Laue’s remarkable average of 190 pins in one series is a fine record, and will be hard to beat, but there are a dozen or more bowlers in the league who are liable at any time to break his record for the i ual score; in fact, the ab- n individual scores now and in match games is more remarkable than the making of them. In practice yes- terday afternoon three different members of the Buena Vista team made above 220 pins for single individual runs. First Game. Spiess Sehlaich .

In the fifth round Raedy rallied wonderfully and had clearly the best of the several hot ex- changes which marked this round. He forced McMillan to the ropes and had him in distress, but seemed to be unable to take advantage of his opportunities before the song sounded and saved McMillan from what might have been a knock-out. The latter received good handling and came up fresn in the next round. He was a much better sparrer than his larger opponent and hit him almest at will without a re- turn. He played alternately for stomach and head, and in the tenth round would have settled Raedy but for the saving sound of the gong. Raedy was still strong, however, and managed to land two or three hard blows on McMillan’s chin and peck in the next round, causing a tem- porary rise in his stock. McMillan held off for the next three rounds, and the two sparred for wind. The fifteenth round practically settied the fight. McMillan seemed to have made up his mind to fin- ish it then and there. He rushed Raedy about the ring, striking him hard with left and right, and had him on his knees sevy- eral times. Raedy was game, but weak. He managed to rise after each exchange, only to fall again. He lasted only by hug- ging. His seconds, seeing that he was done for, urged him to give up the fight, but he refused to do so, and went on for the next round, which proved to be the last. Me- Millan struck.him first in the stomach and then on the nose with his left and Raedy fell to his knees. This performance was repeated several times. Raedy arose game- ly only to be again prostrated, until his brother, seeing that he was gone and had no show of winning, threw up the sponge and stopped the fight, amid the wildest ex- citement. It is said that a match will be made between McMillan and Pat Raedy, brother of the defeated pugilist. The Chess Tournament. With Wednesday night's play the regu- lar games of the chess tournament for the championship of Washingtor®and the cus- tody of the Libby cup were practically con- cluded, so far as the prize winners are concerned, as the single postponed game remaining to be played cannot affect the relative standing of the four leading play- ers. The result is a tie between Mr. F. M. Wright and E. P. Hanna for the cup and first and second prize, Mr. F. A. Waiker being third and Major Andrew Geddes fourth. Under the rules of the tournament Messrs. Hanna and Wright must now play a short match to decide the tie. The Anti-Boxing Bill. The bill introduced in the New York legislature by Mr. Morton of Wayne county, known as the anti-boxing bill, has stirred the New York Athletic Club and the new Manhattan Athletic Club into making denunciatory speeches, as they are planning fistic encounters.

Defeated Mike Raedy in a Sixteen- Round Battle. Billy McMillan and Mike Raedy met in the squared circle last evening ~to decide which was the pugilistic champion of the District. ~The fight took place at the house of the Young Men's Athletic Club, in Prince George’s county, Md., and attracted one of the largest crowds of spectators ever seen at a similar event in this vicinity. Tickets sold at $3 each, and it is estimate] that over $1,000 was realized from their sale. McMillan, who was 1 to enter the arena, was seconded by North- ridge, Connell and Joe Bateman. Raedy's attendants were his brother Pat, and Billy D Henry Konig, of local fame, was the referee and performed that trying part to general satisfaction.

Vice Commodore Brown gave out the fol- lowing statement at the New York Yacht Club last night: “A cup defender will be bullt by the fol- lowing members of the New York Yacht Club: W. K. Vanderbilt, Commodore E. D. Morgan and C. Oliver Iselin. Mr. Iselin will have complete charge. Nat Herreshoff has been commissioned to bulld the new yacht.” Another Victim of Foot Ball. Foot ball has scored another victim. The death of William Thatcher yesterday at Bridgeton, N. J., was due to injuries to his spine received while he was taking part in a roughly played game of foot ball two years ago. ‘Thatcher underwent several operations, but they afforded no relief, and the physicians said his death was only a question of time. He was twenty-two years old. The Talent Again Worsted. The talent again finished second to the bookies at the Alexander Island track yes- terday, Joyeuse being the only favorite to | finish first. ‘The other events were won by an outsider, a third choice and two second | choices. The surprise of the day was the | defeat of Chateau by Johnny in the second race. Two horses fell, Soprano II and Rey- nard in the last. The former broke her leg and was destroyed. Duffy, her rider, broke his collar bone and was consider- ably bruised. The winners were: Gonzales, 7 to 2; Johnny, 3 to 1; Paragon, 6 to 5; Joyeuse, 1 to 2, and Mickey B., 20 to 1. and secured first blood in the second round by landing a hard left on Raedy's nose, breaking {t, and making {t a tender point of attack ‘in all subsequent excnanges. Raedy did the best he knew how, and put up a game, stubborn fight. He stood a terrible amount of punishment and inflicted — Ex-Congressman Handll Dead. Patrick Hamill, who was a member of the Forty-first Congress, died at his home in Oakland, Md., Wednesday morning, aged seventy. He had been in feeble health for several years. JUDGE COX'S OPINION See On Which the Commissioners Base Their Raid: Clearing the Streets ‘of Obstructions With a Legal Opinion as a Warrdtit. The action of the Comrhissioners in di- recting the police to enforce the law against those persons who encroach upon the sidewalks of the city was based upon a decision of Judge Cox in the case of the District against George Munroe. The de- fendant was convicted in the Police Court “of obstructing B street near 7th street, in the city of Washington, for private pur- poses, by placing and allowing to remain a certain stand and building for the pur- pese of selling eatables thereon, in violation of an ordinance of the late mayor, board of aldermen and board of common council of the late corporation of Washington, enti- tled ‘An act relating to public squares, reservations, streets, etc,’’’ Op appeal to the Criminal Court, the conviction was sus- tained. A motion for a new trial and in arrest of judgment was thereupon made and overruled in the following opinion: Judge Cox’s Opinion. “In the case of the District of Columbia vs. George Munroe, I have, since my 1e- turn, looked somewhat into ‘the case, which was discussed last summer. I think ‘he in- formation charged the defendant with keeping something in the nature of a booth on the sidewalk, within four (4) feet of a house. There are three @) or perhaps four (4) acts—one of Congress and the others of the city of Washington—which I think ne- cessary to consider in connection with this case. One is the act of Congress of 1548, which fs repeated in the revision of the laws of the District, and the others are the acts of the city of Washington of 1856, 1862 and, perhaps, 1864. At first examination it would seem that there is a conflict between the act of Congress of 1848, and the act of 1862 of the city of Washington on the one hand, and the act of the city of Washing- ton of 1856 on the other. The act of Con- gress provides that ‘no open space, public reservation, or other public ground in the city of Washington, nor any portion of the public streets or avenues in said city, shall be occupied by any private person, or for any private purpose whatever.’ “That is substantially repeated In the act of 1862: ‘No open space, public reservation, street, or any public grounds in this city, shall be occupied by any private per- son, or for any private purpose whatever, urder a penalty of not more than fifty dol- lars ($) nor less than twenty-five dollars ($5) per day for every day or part of a day any such place shall be so occupied.’ “On the other hand, the act of the city of Washington of 1856 declares that: ‘It shall not be lawful for any person or persons to place or cause to be placed, or allow to re- main, any goods, wares, or merchandise, of any sign, box, barrel, or other obstruction, on either the footways of any street or avenue further than four feet from the building line,’ etc. It gives an ‘implied license to occupy a portion of the sidewalk with obstructions at least within xour (4) feet of the building line, and if the subject- matter were the same thers, would be a di- rect conflict between this act of 1856 and the act of Congress of 1848." Attempts to Reconcile. “This act of 1856 also permits builders whilo engaged in the ‘onstruction of a house to occupy a portion of the sidewalk and street with building materials; co that there is an apparent conflict between this act of i856 and the act of Congress of 1848, containing this general, prohibition. Now it is sought to reconcile them by iuterpret- ing the act of Congress as applicable mere- ly to carriageways, and the ordinance of Washington as applicable, to sidewalks. The suggestion is quite a plausible cne, but it fails wholly to reconcile this act of Corgress with the act of 1856, which, in ex- press terms, allows the Carriageways to be taken, and occupied in’ part by builders with building materitil, ant'to auctioneers when displaying their goods for frcnt of their places of business. there is still an apparent conflict between the two (2) acts. There is another consid- eration to be weighed in this connection. In contemplation of law the street includes the whole space between the building lines, and the title to the streets is vested in the United States. The act of Congress of 1548 is an act of legislation for the protection of this public highway which is the prop- erty of the United States, and the attempt to reconcile this act of Congress by the interpretation of which I Have syoken, leads us to the conclusicx that Congress in legislating for tha=dtection of the gtreets purposely omitted to protect the fodtways and sidewalks, leaving them open to the unrestricted occupation of anybody who chose to avail themselves of that privilege. It is difficult to conceive that Congress, by an act of prchibition of this kind, would simply protect the carriageways from encroachment,and at the same time leave it open to anybody to occupy and use the traveled sidewalks. I do not think, there- fore, that this mode of reconciling these acts Is to be adopted, and it seems to me that they can be reconciled by interpret- ing them to apply to different subjects. The act of Congress and the act of 1862 of Washington apply to occupation of the street or parts of it; and the act of 1856 of Washington applies to obstructions in the streets. Now, these are not convertible terms. Occupation to be sure is an obstruc- tion, but an obstruction may not always be an occupation. For example, in the act of 1856, there is an implied license to per- sons to place goods, wares and merchan- dise on the footways of a street within four (4) feet from the building line, and we can well understand that as a licens® to busines’ men to have space to display their goods in front of their places of business,-and this would constitute an ob- struction, a licensed obstruction; but if anybody should undertake, under author- ity of that Implied license, to extend his bdilding out four (4) feet from the building line, it would be obviously something more than an obstruction; it would be an occu- pation of a portion of the street. So, too, if he should build a new house in connec- tion with his building that rested perma- nently within the four feet from the build- ing line, it would be an occupation within the prohibition of the act of Congress of 1845, and the act of Washington of 1862; and it makes no difference in my judg- ment whether it is a new building connect- ed with an old one, or a separate and dis- tinct one. Anything, which, in the shape of an obstruction, is intended to remain permanently upon a part of the street, and to be used by the owner exclusively for his own private purpose, comes within the de- scription of an occupation, which is in- hibited by the act of Congress and the or- dinance of 1862. Broad Distinction. “It is obvious that there is a broad dis- tinction between transgréssigns of that act, of the kind which I have described, and the mere temporary use of the sidewalk by business men in the transaction of their legitimate business, in the display of their goods, wares and merchandise in front of their stores. There is abviously a broad line of distinction between the two (2) classes of cases. The goods are put upon the street temporarily ‘and intended for removal; that is a_licénsed obstruction under the act of 1858. But to erect any kind of a structure, a bdoth, addition To a house, etc., and to occupy a part of the street the whole time, and to be under the exclusive control and in the use in that way of the owner of the adjdining building, or a stranger holding ‘undér his license, anything of that kind I‘deem to be an oc- cupation of the street within the prohibi- tion of the act of Congress and of the or- dinance of Washington ‘of 1862. Against Him. “The ordinance of 1864 is supposed to have repealed that of 1862. I do not look upon it in that light exactly. It is in- tended to have more scope than the act of 1862. I think that act was intended to be more comprehensive than the act of 1862, and applies to obstructions proper. The act of 1862 does not make it a condi- tion before proceeding against a party that there shall be notice, but the act of 1864 makes it the duty of the justice to give notice to the party to remove an obstruc- tion, and upon his failure, then to enter- tain suit_against him for penalty for not doing it. I am not prepared to say that an obstruction might not also be an oc- cupation. I think {t may often. What un- der ordinary circumstances would be a femporary obstruction would, if allowed to remain and occupy a part of the street, become an occupation of it. The terms are not convertible. They are two differ- ent things, and in my judgment a perma- nent occupation by any sort of structure, a booth, a building, or what not. if it rests permanently on the street, and is under the exclusive use of the owner, is an occu- pation within the prohibition of the law. With my understanding of the nature of the case of Munroe, judgment must be against him. : ALEXANS DRIA AFFAIRS. Arrangements Now for the Robert Lee Banquet.

May Belong to the State League. After all Alexandria may be represented in the Virginia State League of base ball clubs during the coming season. Manager Frank McLearen of the Old Dominion Base Ball Club of this city has just per- fected arrangements with the managers of the New Alexandria Improvement Com- pany whereby they will erect a fine grand stand and fit up good grounds near the Mt. Vernon Hotel, in New Alexandria, and will give the club financial backing. Mr. McLearen will make application at once to the managers of the league, and it is hoped that some arrangement will be made whereby Alexandria can be admitted. Notes. Laborers are at work cleaning away the rubbish from the lot at the corner of Union and Princeton streets, and work will be begun at once on the new store- house for W. A. Smoot & Co. The building will be 355 feet long. Mr. E. C.

An Epworth League mass meeting of the Washington Distr conference wi held Wednesday night at Ebenezer M. Church, corner D and 4th streets sonth- east. Estella B. Coats acted as secretary. Rey. Wm. Bell presided, and Miss The meeting was opened by singing e Shall Be Like Him” and “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” Prayer was offered by Rev. J. E. W. Thomas of Havens Chapel. The congregation next sang “Jesus is Passing Away,” after which a brief business ses- sion followed, with roll call of District cfficers and reports from various chapters. Mr. J. T. Benson, president of Mount Zion; G. W. Hatter of Asbury, Rev. Wm. Bell of Ebenezer, etc., showed increase of work and membership since last month, Encouraging reports were also received from some of the county chapters, supple- mented by Presiding Elder Rev. W. Brooks, who had recently traveled over the field. Then came the renditien of the pro- gram. A paper by Miss Jennie Thompson of Asbury, entitled “An Appeal to Young Men and Women,” showed careful thought in preparation, and good, practical appeal to the youth of our city and country. A vote of thanks was tendered Miss Thomp- son for her very able paper. The presi- dent at this point requested the presiding elier to conduct the devotional part of the meeting, in which a large number gave strong, intelligent testimonies for Christ. Rev. J. F. Chestnut sang Mr. Sankey’s fa- vorite, “Throw Out the Life Line,” the congregation joining in the chorus. At the close Mr. Julius J. Chilcoat spoke of the importance of every Epworthian taking the Southwestern Christian Advocate, one of the church papers, as well as the local papers. The next mass meeting will be held at Mt. Zion M. E. Church, West Washington, February 20, 1895. Benedic- tion by Dr. D. W. Hayes of Asbury, after which the meeting adjourned. es Who is Responsible? Shakespeare says: ““phou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? ‘And the Creature run before the Cur? ‘Then thou mightst behold the great image of Au- thority: a Dog's Obeyed in Office.” And again: “Could great men thunder ‘As Jove himself does, Jove would ne'er be quiet, For every pelting, petty Officer Would use his Heaven for Thunder: nothing but thunder. Merciful Heaven! ** © Oh! but man, proud man, Drest in a little brief Authority— Most ignorant of what he’s most assured, His glassy essei ike an angry Ape, Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven ‘As inake the Angels weep." It would seem that the changes usually wrought by time have but lightly touched cflicial nature since the master poet's day. It seems to remain pretty much the same, yesterday, today and forever, despite civil service reform. The superior officer will not Hsten; the subordinate official is not responsible for the abuses that have crept into the execu- tive departments of our great government; henco clerks have no redress, but are at liberty to resign.

Bishop Paret Expresses His Views, but Trinity P. E. Church Differs. Early last autumn the congregation of Trinity P. E. Church, corner of 34 and C streets, decided that to keep pace with the improvements they were making in building a fine parish hall and altering 2 portion of the church’s interior arrange ments a vested choir would be necessary, and so Musical Director D. W. Middleton was authorized to take the necessary steps to organize one. He drilled the raw re- cruits for upwards of three months and at the morning service of the last Sunday in December they made their first appear- ance, winning praises on all sides. But Mr. Middleton, and, for that matter, everybody interested, forgetting Bishop Paret’s cft-re- peated disapproval of vested women, adda- ed nine ladies to the choir and thence the origin of the trouble. The bishop hearing first of the mixed choristers by rumor wrote a letter to Rev. Dr. Thos. G. Addison, the rector, a Tew weeks ago, ii: which he expressed is sor- row at the innovation, and urged him. to give it up in deference to his well known views on that subject. The voices of the young ladies have, however, had such a scientific effect in toning the shrill treble of the boys that Dr. Addison, knowing his congregation's wishes, fouad it a hard matter to give them up, and another letter was forthcoming from the bishop. In this Bishop Paret stated that~though he had not the authority to compel them to dispense with the ladies, still Trinity was acting very defiantly, especially as two articles on the question inaking known his views had already appeared in the Maryland Churchman. The latter of these two articles cited the examples of two well-known churches, one in Washington, both of which had partially conformed to the bishop's views by adopting a simpler vestment. The letters were laid before the vestry last Thursday and provoked scme sharp discussion. One gentleman in giving his views said that the bishop had never given the reasons for his disapproval ef vested women, and that until he did for his part he thought no change should be made. ‘Whether the church choirs are under the control of the rector or of the vestry is a mcoted question, especially as a canon of the Protestant Episcopal church adopted last October gives the music to be ren- dered and the music only to the direction of the minister. The vestrymen dispatched a letter to the bishop Monday last, asking his reasons in a very courteous manner, but plainly stating the congregation's posi- tion. a The answer and the result of the con- flict of wishes is awaited very eagerly by churchmen, especially as the question con- cerns not only Trinity, but in a broad sense the whole Protestant Episcopal church in America, The question of high and low church is raised; also that of the powers of a bishop, a rector and his vestry. ‘The question will undoubtedly come up for discussion at the general convention, which meets at Minneapolis fext autumn, and will probably be settied then and there. As to Trinity, an amicable compromise is the result now in sight. The choir num- bers thirty-five, and is composed of the following: Masters Bérry, Brown, Burn- side, Bryan, Carter, Collins, Forester, For- ker, Kerr, McCauley, French, D. W. Mid- dleton, jr. T.

Bernard Harding finished first, with John Buckley just tehind him. Harry Ward showed what he could do in the way of bicycle riding, after which Ernest Schafhirt and Harry Lee indulged in a wrestling bout. Prof. Joyce, George Spur- rier, Eddie Voight and Kip Kettler gave a ecntortion act, and then there were fancy sparfing by J. Eckert, E.
