Manager Hanlon of the Baltimore Base Ball Club will go to Washington, says the Baltimore Sun, for the purpose of drafting Infielder Carey of the Western League. Carey's batting average last year was in the neighborhood of .360 and he fielded above .980. He took part in more than 130 games and scored a run for every game in which he played. Preparing for a Cup Defender. Although the Herreshoffs decline to make any statement regarding the new cup de- fender, everything points to the early be- ginning of work on a new keel boat; the pit in the south shop is being deepened as if to admit of a boat of deeper draught. Every precaution is being taken to pre- vent an outlet of information. This seems to give color to the statement that the de- fender will be a deep-keel vessel. Four Favorites on the Island. A large crowd journeyed to Alexander Island Saturday, and as four favorites won, the fourteen bookmakers on the line had a bad day of it. The winners were: Grampian, 4 to 5; Chateau, 4 to 5; Forest, 5 to 2; Caroven, 10 to 1, and Boblink, 6 to Current Racing Ramors. While there has been no formal agree- ment yet made, the prediction made in these columns several weeks ago that the Alexander Island people and those of the St. Asaph track would eventually come together and divide dates, has practically been verified, and negotiations are now in progress having such a purpose in view. It is more than probable that the two tracks will race after the 4th of next March on alternate days. It is reported that Mr. H. D. McIntyre has disposed of his stock in the St. Asaph track to Zora Hill, brother of J. M. Hill, and that Thos. F. Egan will also sell out his share. Good Sailors Except Don Alonzo. LONDON, January 28.—All the Americaa horses that have been brought to England to take part in the races here next season stood the voyage well except Don Alonzo, who was neryous and restless after land- ing, and who remained in that condition during the whole journey to Newmarket, where he arrived in a dripping sweat. He was wrapped heavily and hurried into the stable. Dinah slipped down, but was un- scratched. All the horses have stood the journey better than Campbell expected. They were given a good rest Saturday. ‘The roads are frost-bovnd, and it is im- possible at present to give the horses ex- ercise. Campbell decided to olothe all the animals on account of the severe weather prevailing. The statement that Dobbins will serve a couple of mares in March Is much discussed, this being an unique de- parture from the custom that obtains at Newmarket. Another Skating Record Broken. The one hundred yards’ skating record, standing start, was beaten yesterday af- ternoon at Red Bank, N. J., by John S. Johnson, who made the distance in 9 1-5 seconds. Daviison, who was second, was only 1-5 of a second behind the leader. With a flying start Moshier and Davidson beth skated the hundred yards in 7 sec- onds. The skating races, which were post- poned on Saturday, will be held today. ane Donoghue’s entry was received last ———— Wire Tapping Bill in the House. Representative Hopkins of Illinois has in- troduced a bill to prevent wire tapping, which is similar to that introduced by Sen- ator Chandler in the Senate. The bill has been referred to the commi‘tee on inter- state commerce and will probably be con- sidered by that committee at its next meet- ing. There is no apparent opposition to the bill and it will probably be favorably re- ported. —___-~- Band Concerts. The concerts of the Marine Band at the barracks on Mondays will hereafter begin at 2 o'clock in the afternoon instead of 1:30, = heretofore, and will close at 3:30 The Sunday School Union. At the second quarterly meeting of the Sunday School Union of the District at Berean Baptist Church, the president, Wm. H. Connor, presided, and addresses were made by Rev. William B. Tunnell of How- ard University and H. C. Smith, U. 8. consul at Santos, Brazil. A paper was read by Mrs. Julia Mason. EES The board of directors of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad have elected Mr. Benjamin F, Newcomer president, to suc- ceed the late ex-Gov. Oden Bowie. Mr. Michael Jenkins succeeded the late Wm. M. Walters as a member of the board an Mr. J. B. Ramsey succeeded Mr. New- comer. THE GRIDIRON CLUB Its Tenth Annual Dinner and Some of Its Features. MANY DISTINGUISHED GUESTS PRESENT The New Presiding Officer Happy in His Introductions. BRIGHT AND WITTY SPEECHES It was a foregone conclusion that the an- nual banquet of the Gridiron Clup Satur- day evening would be a great success. However, even the most sanguine of the forty newspaper men who compose its membership could hardly have foreseen that it would be the great event it was. It was the tenth anniversary of the founding of the club, and from the first there was an expressed desire to. make the dinner one long to be remembered by those who were so fortunate 2s to receive invitations. They succeeded, for the scene in the banquet room of the Arlington was one of surpassing beauty, while the ban- quet itself was replete novel features and surprises. Over two hundred sat down to the magnificently decorated tables, and there they sat until the bells of the city tolled the midnight hour, and then they wished it was but just beginning instead of ending. The menus and souvenirs of the occasion were unique and beautiful, and will always serve as plezsant reminders of a most enjoyable evening. Besides all the officers of the clubeand those who kad been its guests, this souvenir contained a “Retrospective” chapter by Mr. E. G. Dun- nell and one “Concerning Pilgrimages’ by Mr. H. L. West. The book was prepared under the supervision of Mr. W. E. Curtis, chairman of the menu committee. The drawings were by G. G. Co‘fin and J. Har- ry Cunningham, while Mr. W. F. Roberts did the printing and binding. About the hospitable board were seated scores of men whose names are hovuse- hold words the country over, statesm Mterary men, editors, judse lawyers, phy- sicians, and a host of newspaper men, who do more than their share in making or unmaking the fame and reputation of those who were for the nonce their guests. One of the pleasant features of the even- ing was the initiation of three new mem- bers, Mr. L. A. Coolidge of the New York Recorder, Mr. Reginald Schroeder of the New York Staats Zeitung, and Mr. C. C. Randolph of the New York Times. The initiation was conducted by Mr. Robt. J. Wynne, who impersonated the veneraple Capt. Bassett; Mr. R. N. Larner, as “Fort . Cleveland,” and John S. Shriver, Frank V. Bennett, F. A. G. Handy, Geo. H. Apper- son, R. B. Matthews, Hub T. Smith and Geo. H. Walker ccnstituting the eutertain- ment committee. Another was the presentation of hands»me bronze medals, struck off for the ov in honor of the origindl members founders of the club. These were: G V. Boynton, John M. Carson, Selden N. Clark, P. V. DeGraw, E. G. Dunnell, F. A. G. Handy, D. R. McKee, O. O. Stealey, E. B. Wight, R. J. Wynne, C. T. Murray and James R. Young. Clab Guests. Mr. Walter B. Stevens of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat made his debut as the president of the club, suceeeding the late Mr. Frank Hatton. Mr. Stevens showed himself a capable presiding officer, though his task was not an easy one, for his pre- decessor, Mr. Hatton, was always exceed- ingly happy in introducing the speakers. Mr. Stevens demonstrated that he pos- sesses the same faculty. He occupied the head of the table, and seated near him were Associate Justice Brewer, Mgr. Satolli, ex- Speaker Reed, Thomas Nelson Page, Wil- liam Edgar Nye, Secretary Morton, Sena- tor Teller, Senator Walsh, and ex-Sixth Auditor Crowell, out of whose hospitality ten years ago the Gridiron CTub sprang into ‘being. All through the evening amusing spec- imens of by-play and little incidents that were very full of fun for the guests were acted out by the versatile members. There was music and all sorts of speeches, some funny and some grave; witty sallies ond droll remarks; hits at the members by the guests, and jokes perpetrated by the mem- bers upon those who sat at meat them. It is a rule of the Gridiron ¢ that there shall never be anything too serious at its entertainments, and another rule that what is said about the board ts said in confidence and is not to be reported in the newspapers. Both of these rules were broken through on this occasion, for Archbishop Satolli, who was one of the guests of honor, took advantage of the opportunity to make a formal speech, in which he outlined his own position in this country and the purposes for which he had been sent by the pope. By special~permis- sion the speech, which was read by his secretary, Dr. Rooker, has been made public. Archbishop Satoll1. In the course of his remarks Archbishop Satolli paid a high tribute to the American press, and acknowledged its great influ- ence in all public and social matters. In concluding his remarks the archbishop sald: “If you desire to know my mission among you, you will find it expressed in the con- ditions enunciated for my favorable re- ception here, by a_well-meaning but a mis- led writer in the Forum two years ago. It is to help ‘to teach the ignorant, to raise the fallen, to lead the guilty and penitent to the invisible and Divine Savior, who alone has power to forgive sin; to console the sorrowing, to edify the believing, to promote righteousness, liberty, sympathy ard the spirit of Christian brotherhood throughout the land.” “If you want to know what my mission is not, you have it in the words of this same writer, in which he explains what he thinks it is. He asserts that I am here to further the claims of the pope to ‘a kingdom of this world,’ ‘a kingdom which embraces the whole world,’ ‘all the king- doms of the world and the glory of them.’ In my own name and that of Leo XIII, who sent me, I repudiate any such pur- pose. And when it shall please the pone to recall me, trusting in the kindness and rectitude of the public press, as Samuel of old, on laying down the government of Israel, appealed to the assembled people to express their satisfaction or dissatisfac- tion with his administration, so I shall rot hesitate to present to the press of the country the record of my labors and say ‘Judge me.” Those Present.

The ghosts of twenty weil-known democratic statesmen who were decapi- tated at the last election visited the ban- quet hall. They clamored all evening to be heard, and finally President Stevens told Chairman Stealey of the committee to “show them up.” ‘This he did in great shape, with the assistance of Congressman Caruth, who was the medium, and Mr. Samuel E. Johnson, who frequently ap- peared on the scene,” personated Banquo, and thunder, lightning, rain and hail pre- ceded his stalwart form. As Banquo ap- peared personating the statesmen out of life, Mr. Caruth named them, and spoke lines appropriate to the spirit presented. Committees in Charge.

Arrangements are being made for the consideration in the House of the Pacific railroads’ funding bill. = Chairman Reilly of the committee on Pacific railways will lead the debate for his bill, while Mr. Boatner of Louisiana, who made the minority report against it, will control the time of the opposition. The opponents of the bill desire more time, as they assert that the more thoroughly it is discussed the better the chances for de- feating it will become. The four demo- cratic members from California are de- voting most of their time to their cam- paign against the plan for extending the debts of the Central and Union Pacific. They concede that the prospect is that the bill will pass by a safe majority, but say that this is because members have not studied the history of the relations of these roads to the government and will naturally support the bill, which has be- hind it the prestige of the committee's reecmmendation. ——__--e. SECOND HOMESTEAD ENTRIES. The Relicf Mil in Certain Cases of Soldiers, Marines and Sailors. The Secretary of the Interfor haa for- warded to the chairman of the House com- mittee on public lands;a favorable report on House bill 2402, for the relief in certain cases of soldiers, marines, sailors and oth- ers who have heretofore made claim to public lands. He says he can see no ob- jection to the passage of the bill, which would allow any person otherwise qualified to make a second homestead entry who had failed to secure title to his previous entry without fault of his own. The only objection cited that can be urged against the aliowarce of a second homestead entry is that it would allow persons to speculate by making entries and selling the relin- quishments, but the bill is believed to be sutticiently guarded against such action. 2+ REPUBLICAN PREFERENCES. A Canvass for the Nomination for President Throughout the Country. The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette yes- terday printed two pages of preferences for the next republican nomination for Prest- dent from republicans all over the coun- try, especially from Ohis, Indiana, Ken- tucky, West Virginia, New York and Washington, D. C. In its semmary it says: “Ohio is for McKinley and Indiana for ex-President Benjamin Harrison. “New York hardly knows where she stands. ‘the republicans of the empire state are holding off to the end to either dictate the nominee or, failing in that, to drive the best bargain they can with the man that is bound to win. One New York- er deciares himself for ex-Governor Fora- ker. “West Virginia seems to be for the best man, whoever he may be. One West Vir- ginien declares himself for Senator-elect Hikirs, while several republicans of that state express a preference for Judge Nathan Goff for second place on the ticket. Governor McKinley seems to be the first choice of the republicans of Kentucky. “At the national capital the preponder- ance of sentiment appears to be for Tom Reed. Attention is called to the declara- tion for Reed made by General John Beat- ty of Columbus. In the Washington inter- views it was sought to obtain expressions from either Senators or Representatives from every state in the Uniun. McKinley seems to be their second choice, while Harrison, Allison and others have quite a respectable following. — A The Case Postponed. The suit in equity for an injunction brought by Mary Van Riswick, A. Lambert and Martina Carr against the Rock Creek Park commission, which was set for hear- ing before Judge Cox in Equity Court No. 1 today, has been postponed until Thurs- day by reason of the continued illness of Judge Cox. The object of suit is to restrain the commission from proceeding to assess the benefits alleged to have accrued to owners of land adjoining the park from the forma- tion ‘and maintenance thereof. ———— Agninst Political Assessments, Senator Lodge has Introduced a bill to prohibit solicitations of contributions for political purposes from officers or employes of the United States. THE DOCTORS F 5 When Jenks Studied Up His Own Dig ease and Cured Himself. (From the Providence, R. 1., Bulletin.) There are but few diseases that puzzle physicians more than rheumatism. There @re a great many theories as to its cause, and a great many theories as to the best meansof curingit, most of which areabsurd. One of the greatest sufferers of rheuma- tism known in the annale of medicine is John G. Jenks, of Riverside, R. I. He heoame the victim of rheumatism while in the army, and the disease seems to have given him a taste of all its various tortures. Physiciansand medicines failed to ive him any relief, until at last he effected is own deliverance from the bonds of pain. “Rheumatisin!” said Mr. Jenks, when the subject was broached by a reporter who went to hear his story. “Well, I should say I do know something about its all learned by actual experience, too. I first eontracted rheumatism in the army, and I have had every variety of the aflliction #lnce, and haye suffered such agony with it that at times death was a pleasant thought dwell upon. Take medicine? Enough to stock a drug store, and none of it did me eny good. Then I began to study the dis- ease myself. I made up my mind to get scquainted with the enemy and fight it on different lines. I had a theory of my own and began to look around for a remedy that was caleulated to have the desired effect, One after another was tried until at last I hit upon Pain-Killer, which I applied freely. Almost with the first application came re- lief, Ikepton using it and the rheumatism was soon Knocked out. Neither have I had any return of the trouble. “I also used Pain-Killer internally for the sens another war relic. It did what pounds of quinine couldn’t do. “Pain-Killer keeps guard in my house against all ills, and it has never yet slopt at its post of duty.” GOOD LOOKS DEPEND UPON THE HEALTHY condition of the vital organs.

Senator D. B. Hill spoke on the currency question before the Democratic Club of New York Saturday night, urging the re- tirement of the greenbacks and the issue of lcng-time, low-rate bonds. Regarding the greenbacks, he said: “It is true that they constitute a safe and convenient currency, exceedingly popular with the masses, and under ordinary conditions they could be tolerated, although they violate every cor- rect principle of monetary science; but they have neo intrinsic value; they are a debt, and not money itself; they represent the worst phases of inflation; they are a per- petual strain upon the treasury, and unless relief shall be had will eventually vile up our bonded indebtedness mountain high.” —S James Caven of Irvinton, N.

A Letter just to hand says: “Itis needless for me to ex- press my high opin- ion of Pearline, and that no clean family lives without it.” Thousands of letters come, praising Pearl- ine, but they don’t all put it so strongly. Wewouldn’t want to, ourselves. We don’t say that things can’t be madeclean without Pearline. But we do say that things can’t be made clean with so little labor and so little damage by any other means. And we want to say that, loudly. Millions use Pearline. Only a short time ago they rubbed and scrubbed and fussed in the old-fash- ioned way without it. Beware of imitations. 436 JAMES PYLE, N.¥ BIG VALUES SMALL PRICES RETIRING SALE.

THE NINTH STREET MARKET HALL, EASILY ACCESSIBLE FROM THE NEW HANDSOME EN- TRANCE, NORTHWEST CORNER NINTH STREET WING, BY AN ELEVATOR, ALSO BY A BROAD OPEN IRON STAIRWAY IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, which has been used for meetings and drilling of the District militia, WILL BE OTEN FOR RENTAL OR LEASE ON AND AFTER FEB- RUARY 1, 1895, This fine hall 4s 200 feet in length and about 73 feet in width, with ample light and ventilation, and continually kept comfortably warm by over- head steam pipes, and with very little expense the erection of a stage on the east side; ‘ing ca- pacity can easily be arranged for from two to three thousand persons, to and from which rapid irgress and egress is bad by two elevators, and the southwest 10-ft. wide iron stairway, also cut of the northeast front corner over the wide iron veranda, extending along the avenue front above the wholesale stores, known as the “Arcade Bolld- ing,”” to the center of this wide fron veranda, and thence by the bridge and stairway through the center of Market Park to Pennsylvania avenue. ‘The central location of THIS NINTH STREET MARKET HALL, where all the lines of steam, elec- tric, cable, horse cars and herdics center, from every section of the city, renders its uses more valuable than mest any of the other large halls in the city. Applications will be received for leasing it in its Present or in @ cop ition refitted for the uses re vuired. ~ The Upper Two Stories Of the Arcade Building, Which have been recently used AS PRIVATE OF- FICE QUARTERS FOR THE VARIOUS OFFICERS OF THE DISTRICT MILITIA, embracing ebout 50 large rooms, with a wide hallway running through the center in both stories from east to west, con- necting with the wide iron veranda on the first story and iron passageway and elabor ate bridge to Pennsylvania avenue through the center of Market Park, also by iron walks to the main market buildings and elevators, will also be for lease on and after February Ist. This very central handsome brick buflding, bay- ing a frontage towards Pennsylvania avenue aod the park of 330 feet, was designed when erycted for a “Hotel Cafe,” where rooms could be rented with a Cafe on each floor for serving meals as desired, and can be now very easily fitted up into 100 rooms, with two cafes in the center and with kitchen and store rooms in the center of third story, where steam heating pipes for cooking are located, and long lines of warming pipes running through overhead, the entire length of the main, east and west hallways. Outside fron stairways connect the east and west ends with 7th and 9th streets and Louisiana and Pennsylvania avenues. At or abot the time this new building was com- pleted some exterprising gentlemen were negotiat- ing for this very desirable location and new build- ing to be used as a Grand Bazaar and_an adjunct to the great Central Market for the keeping and sale of every class and varlety of goods or articles so that any person entering the market grounds from Pennsylvania avenue, 7th, 9th or B streets would find in this Arcade Bullding, divided into 100 sections, a regular John Wanamaker store and bazaar, for which the building ts now admirably adapted. This use, however, was sbandoned tem- porarily for the occupancy of the Distri-t militia, but could now be carried ont by the use of the Arcade Building for a sectional variety store, and twenty sections or roums could be easily fitted up on the first floor from the avenue, south side, next to the ma-ket proper, for flowers, with glass fronts, in which cold air could be introduced from the cold storage pipes below and warm air from tHe steam pipes above, each to be turned on al- ternately when required, and thus flowers and plants could be kept in this floral section of the bazaar in as fresh and safe condition until sold and delivered as if they had remained in the hot house where they were grown.
