REPORTS AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS A Strong Interest Taken in the Financial Policy. THE PRESIDENT’S PLAN es The parlors and corridors of the Shore- ham were filled early this morning with a numerous and select gathering, represent- ing the various boards of trade through- out the country, met here at the twenty- fifth aunual meeting of the national board of trade. The morning was spent in con- versation on the work of the meeting and its importance in conjunction with the critical necessity of action by Congress on the recommendations of the President in his special message. lt was generally egreed that at no time in its history had | the board before it a greater responsibility than now. The executive council of the board met at 10 o'clock in a parlor in the Shoreham, with Mr. Mrederick Fraley presiding, and the secretary, Mr. Hamilton Andrews Hull, and Messrs. Jonathan A.

Jarney, jr., of Philadelphia and Daniel W. ‘Taylor of Wilmington, Del. all vice presidents of the national board of trade, present and participating in the work of the session. The couucil spent the morning in shaping the program of the regular daily sessions of the board. The more than usual num- ber of topics coming up for consideration from all parts of the country seryed to make this session of the executive Council significant of the importance of the gen- eral meeting of the board at this time. The national board met premptly at 12 o'clock In the banquet hall, with President Fraley, hals and vigorous despite his four- score years and ten, presiding, as he has for over a quarter of a century.

Secretary Hill then read the annual re- port of the executive committee, _ reciting the historical import- ance and usefulness of the national board. The report laid stress on the financial situ- @tion at this time, which commanded the especial and pa- President Fraley. triotic interest of the board. The report was received with loud applause. Mr, Tucker, for the committee on cre- dentials, reported that the Chester, Pa. Business Men's Association with two dele: gates, and the Philadelphia Trade League with nine delegates, be admitted to mem- bership. D. G. Hendricks was seated to represent the Chester Business Men's As- sociation, and Mahlon N. Kline, W. W. Supplee, Finley Acker, J. G. Croxton, V M. Ayres, A.G. Elliott, R. D. Allen, Lew' M. Haupt, and J. N. Fitzgerald to repre- sent the Trades League of Philadelphia. The report of the executive committee was presented by Mr. John A. Gano of Cincinnati. ‘This report dealt first with the danger apparent to the Patterson Dill in the Senate, and urged that the amendments to the interstate commerce law re- commended by the national board be | made the subject of especial care at this time. The report also emphasized the ne- °& cessity of action by \ Congress at once to relieve the financial distress of the coun- try. The committee recommended the pol- icy of keeping a per- Hin. manent representative In Washington to look after matters of legislation in which the national board of trade may have an interest. His Twenty-Sixth Term. With a show of feeling that was !m- pressive, the meeting unanimously elected Mr. Fraley president for the twenty-sixth time, Mr. E. O. Stanard of St. Louis being called to the chair temporarily. In resum- ing the chair Mr. Fraley made a brief speech directed deliberately to the one great question before the country, and dis- tinctly pledging the board to positive ac- tion upon It. Mr. 3. W. Harper of Cincinnati stated that through Private Secr@tary ‘thurber an invitation had been extended to the board to meet the President at the White House tomorrow at 1 o'clock. This announcement provoked enthusias- tic interest from the members, the dispo- sition being shown in a number of speeches to support the president fully and une- the Toledo board of Secretary quivocaliy his position in regard to the financial situation. The election of vice presidents was, how- ever, proceeded with to avoid serious in- terruption in the organization of the meet- ing, resulting in the choice of the follow- ing: Wm. Seemueller ahd Blanchard Ran- dall, Baltimore; Alden Spear, J. S. Lane, Wellingion Smith of Bosten; 8. E. De Forest, Bridgeport, Conn.; S. R.

Mr. Tucker of Philadelphia was given the compliment of an election as assistant to the secretary of the board. The Financial Question. Mr. Dousman of Chicago offered a reso- lution providing for the appointment of a special committee of nine members to con- sider topics numbered 12, 13, 14, 15 and 38 en the regular program, the president of the board to act as chairman of the com- mittee. This resolution was amended to provide that all resolutions on the financial situation be referred to it, and then adopt- ed. Mr. Hackett of Scranton offered a resolution on the latter topic. Mr. McKeen of Philadelphia offered the following resoluticn, which was greeted with a loud and hearty vound of applause: “Resolved, That the National Board of ‘Trade,now assembled,strongly approves the earnest message concerning the financial condition. of the country just sent to Con- gress by the President of the United States, and strongly hopes that Congress will set aside all feelirg, except from paramount duty to the country, and enact that legis- latton that is necessary to strengthen the federal treasury, maintain the public faith and credit and tend to relieve the indus- tries, trade and business of the people from the financial disturbances from which they haye recently suffered. The board then adjourned for luncheon. The Douxman Resolution. The topics alluded to in Mr. Dousman's resolution urge the establishment of a safe and elastic currency; ihe aduption by Congress of the Baltimore plan, which is recommended for the indorsement of the national board; the issue of not to exceed $400,000,000 of 21-2 per cent bonds, to mature in not less than fifty years with which to organize retire greenbacks, and to the national banking act on y system as well ‘as tem, and protesting against any- thing like state banks issuing circulating notes; the appointment cf a commission on the currency; and the ercation of an ex-, pert monetary commission to investigate and recommend such legislation as will establish for the United States the best financial system possibie. Great faterest was manifested in this program of work, and crriosity was strong as to who should be appointed upon the special committee. Te- Fidelity Stockholders Need Not Pay y Further Instaliments. The latest move in the pending suit for an injunction, brought December 3, 18:4, by Daniel Wheeler and a number of others against the Fidelity Building and Loan Association and the Columbia Building, Loan and Investment Association, was a petition filed yesterday by Receiver G. H. Norton asking permission to release cer- tain trusts. Owing to the illness of Judge Cox the case 1s practically at ‘a standstill. The court, on the 14th instant, overruled an ap- plication of H, B. Moulton and Frank 8. Morling for the continuance of the busi- ness of the associations. It was further ordered on the same day that the recetvers shall not collect installments on unem- ployed installment stock, and that the feilure of installment stockholders to con- tinue the payment of installments on un- employed installment stock to the receiv- ers shall not work a forfeiture of the stock or prejudice the interests of the stock- holders. Mr. L. C. Williamson, one of the receiy- ers, stated to a Star reporter this after- noon that the receivers are endeavoring to collect debts due the associations, but otherwise are taking no steps in the mat- ter. A large number of persons have been granted permission to intervene in the suit, and, Mr. Williamson stated, the receivers will close up the business of the associa- tions at the earliest practicable date. page "HE PRESS CLUB ENTERTAINMENT. It Promises to Be More Successful ‘Than Was at First Announced. ‘The Press Club entertainment, which is to be given at the Grand Opera House on the evening of February 8, promises even more than the original announcement of the program. The pronounced success of Mr. Beerbohm Tree and his company of English artists in New York last night has excited riew interest in his first appearance in Washington. It is certain that Julia Marlowe, Kyrle Bellew, Mrs. James Brown Potter, DeWolf Hopper, Sandow and all the others who tramediately signified their desire will. appear at the entertainment, and they are sending to the committze an- nouncements of their casts, pictures for the program and in general completing their arrangements to be on hand. The part which Mr. Nelson Wheatcroft, director of the Empire Theater Dramatic School, will offer is ‘Jean Marie,” of which the cast will be: Jean Marie, Nelson Wheat- croft; Joel, Alfred Fisher; ‘Therese, Grace Fisher. The souvenir promises to be a marvel of the printer’s art. Arrangements for the auction are progressing and there seems no question that this year’s enter- tainment will surpass the one first given by the Press Club, which in turn surpassed anything of the kind ever given in this country. — THE SYRIAN GOSPELS. Tronslation of the Recently Discover- ed Manuscripts Almost Completed. London Correspondence Globe-Democrat. The world of theclegists and scientists, not to mention numerous interested laymen, is anxiously awaiting the forthcoming translation into English of the four Evan- geliums, written in the Syrian language, just published by the Cambridge Univer- sity. The Cambridge publication is an ex- act copy, so we are told, of the original, discovered by Mrs. Agnes Smith Lewis in the year 1892, among the treasures of the cloister of St. Catherine, on Mount Sinat. Strictly speaking, the original was not an original at all, but a palimpsest; that Is, a manuscript indicted on parchment which had been used oefore, the first writing hav- ing been erased to make place for the sec- ond, This, of course, leaves open the ques- tion whether the erasures were made for economy's sake (paper or parchment being very rare in the first centuries after Christ) or in order to alter the original text to suit interested parties. However that may be, Mrs. Lewis pho- tographed part of the manuscript and brought {t to Cambridge, where Prof. Bensly, since dead, recognized the hand- writing and language a3 Syrian. He de- ciphered several pages, and came to the conclusion that it would be worth while to have the rest. So he fitted out an expedi- tion, consisting of himself, the scientists Burkitt and Randal Harris and Mrs. Agnes Smith Lewis, for a journey and stay at St. Catherine cloister. The three gentlemen worked for forty days and almost as many nights in the cloister’s libraries and vaults, copying the palimpsest, while Mrs. Lewis completed her collection of photographs. The investigation proved that several rolls of manuscript were missing; others had suffered so much tn the course of cen- turies by dampness, dirt and bookworms that it was impossible to make out the writing. M than three-fourths. of the ancient manuseripts, however, were res- cued from oblivion by the Englishmen and their brave companion, Mrs. Lewis. The work is now before the scientific world, printed in its original quaint characters and embellished by Mrs. Lewis’ artistic photograph ee -— The Utah commission passed a resolution yesterday ordering the issue of certifi- cates of election to seventy-eignt delegates to the constitutional convention. Of this number forty-one aro republicans and thirty-seven democrats, 9g twenty- nine members in dispute. READY TO COLLECT Central Relief Committee’s House-to- House Canvass. AN OPPORTONITY FOR EVERYONE | Central Union Mission Obliged to Temporarily Cease Work. FUNDS RUNNING SHORT One man’s meat—another’s poison! The delight of emall boys, the snow storm, was the terror of the poor. Coming just when the resources of the central relief commit- tee were were nigh drained, today must witress renewed exertions to keep the poor of the city alive and out of suffering. Not only the generous gifts of supplies, but the funds contributed generally by citizens and the gift of $5,000 by Mr. John R. McLean have been used in the gigantic needs of Washington’s poor in the past fortnight. All over the city last night the story of distress was heard from the hundreds of extremely poor people, who, in moderate weather, are able to keep body and soul in touch with each other, but in time of storms and cold are practically dependent and helpless. The Associated Charities estimate the number of people who pick over the dumps at from 1,200 to 1,500. This condition of poverty showed itself last night, especially in the southern and eastern parts of the city. There are in these sections many colored people who subsist by picking over the refuse on the various dumping grounds. The few cents they get by selling the rags and iron found there afford them a living. When the snow comes this slender support is gone, and these people become dependent on charity. The flow of gifts for the poor continues slowly. A wagon load of groceries was sent yesterday to be distributed in Mt, *leasant, where the committee in charge of that district has found many extreme cases of need. The Christian Endeavor social at Grace Baptist Church resuited in a handsome supply of provisions, which will today be distributed in East Washington. The only contribution received yesterday was 230 loaves of bread from the agent of the Obdelisk Flour Company of Louisville, Ky. The following additional subscriptions to the poor fund were received by ‘Treasurer Wilkins of the central relief committee: Cash, T., $2; Wheatley Brothers, $100; Leita M. White, $50. Yesterday a full and thor- ough plan was made for the canvass of the city for supplies. The canvass begins tomorrow morning, and it is intended to have every house in the city visited, and all who are disposed will have a chance to give. Mrs. Babson, general chairman of the district of East Washington, has made the following division and assignment of .| the work: East Washington Workers. First. Dr. W. E.

Every one may give — money, food or fuel. Friday the work of collecting with wagons begins. All who give add to their gifts by giving in good order and promptly. Everything should be put in compact packages, labeled to show the con- tents, so that the wagcns may be dela; ag little as possible. es sf she Seup Dispensaries. Reports were received yesterday by Mr. B. H. Warner from the ssup kitchens. Mr. Warner still urges the need of money for this branch of the work, as the present exigency is likely to greatly increase the demands on the soup houses. Pound Party. The ladies’ auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A., 1699 1ith street northwest, Mrs. Meriwether chairman,holds a pound party at the rooms of the association tomorrow, from 1 to 10 p.m. Among those in charge are Mrs. Henry Bailey, Mrs. N. E.

The public is invited to send or bring pounds of food or clothing. This Y. M. C. A. pound party will be repeated each Wed- nesday during the present crisis. ‘The Mission Closed. The Central Union Mission was compelled to stop its work of relief today, owing to the fact that all the money, food and fuel at its disposal was exhausted. The storm had its natural result in vastly increasing the suffering of the destitute of the city, and lots of people came to the mis- sion building as soon as it was possible to make their way through the snow this morning in the hope that they might se- cure something to eat and the wherewithal to keep them warm. They were doomed to disappointment, however, for there was a big notice on the door which told them that no more applications for relief could possibly be considered until tomorrow. Inside the building the missionary work- ers had a much needed opportunity to look over the situation and to catch up in the matter of back work. For days past more applications have been received than could possibly be attended to, and as provisions have been given out considerably in excess of donations received, the missionary work- ers found it necessary to call a halt in or- der that they might go over their books and see to what extent debts had been in- curred with grocery and other dealers. Police Overrun. For some reason there has been a marked falling off in donations to the mission, the Associated Charities and the police, not- withstanding the fact that all of these organizations have been more flooded with applications for relief during the past few days than ever before since the winter set in. The various police stations, which have been made distributing agencies for the poor, were all crowded today with cold and hungry wretches, who had pitiavle tales to tell of suffering and want. There was very little to give them, however, and, as one officer expressed it, if it had not been for The Star's pound party the trouble this winter would have been in- finitely greater. The first precinct, with the station house on 12th street, has with- in its limits fewer cases of poverty than any other precinct in town, and the work here is comparatively light. It is not so with the outlying precincts. Lieut. Mc- Cathran of the fifth precinct, located at 5th and E streets southeast, was at police headquarters this morning. He said that he hated to go back to his station house, for he knew what the condition of affairs would be there. The building was fairly crowded with the poor of that distri whose sufferings had been increased ten- fold by last night’s storm. There was little enough that could be done for them, for here, as elsewhere, the stock of pro- visions on hand was well nigh exhausted. This precinct was not as bad as some of the others, and in the southwest, as well as along the banks of the canal, there was destitution that cried piteously for heip, which could not be given. . The Central Union Mission makes an earnest appeal today through the egency of ‘The Star for volunteer workers who will officiate as visitors at the homes of the needy cnes and will assist in the work of relieving distress. At the meeting of the central relief com- mittee last Saturday the $3,000 still remain- ing of the McLean fund was apportioned cut in equal parts to the Central Union Mission, the Associated Charities and the police. As was done last year, the cash will not be given out direct to the three distributing agencies, but each will be voted a credit of $1,000 which can be drawn upon at the stores of the city, and the bills, properly vouched for, will be paid by the central relief committee. Evening Star Fund. The Evening Star turned over to Mr. Beriah Wilkins, treasurer of the central relief committee, $1,185.03 collected by it for the benefit of the poor of the District. Gen. Tracy of the distribution committee said this would take them over into next week. —>-—_ CAME FROM MEXICO. This Storm is a Pleas ut Gift From the South This storm started in Mexico. It was observed Saturday night as it crossed the frontier into Texas. , The prectpitation moved directly northeast, while the storm center hugged the gulf and Atlantic coasts. In the far south it took the form of heavy rains and high winds, but it took the phase of snow when it crossed into Tennessee. Tho weather bureau saw it coming and gave due warning. The precipitation reached Washington yesterday afternoon and seven inches of snow fell. The storm has kept on its northward course, and this afternoon it is snowing in New England. ‘This moraing the center was off the Jersey coast. Very cold weather has been report- ed along the path of the storm, the tem- perature remaining higher at Washington than at most points since the storm left the Carolinas. In its course this storm is very similar to its predecessor. ‘The prophets of the weather bureau think that the weather will clear up and turn warm. The prospects for rain are slight. The fall of seven inches which occurred here holds good throughout the Alleghenies, but as this is equivalent to only one-half inch of rain the prophets do not think that any disaster is to be feared from even a sud- den thaw. The river will rise, but not sufficiently to cause alarm. At last ac- counts the storm was headed northeast and moving at a rapid pace toward the maritime provinces. —_—-—_—_ GRAND JURY CASES. Three of Them Up in the Police Court Today. There were three grand jury cases tried in Judge Miller’s court today, the defend- ant in each case being locked up. In one case the defendant was Martha Mergent, a colored woman well known to the police. Martha lives in South Washington, but spends more of her time in the workhouse than sho does where she is supposed to live. It was because of her last visit to the farm that she got in her present trou- ble. While on the farm she met a neighbor named Mary Brent. This woman had left her coat at home when a policeman ar- rested her, and she asked Martha as a favor to have one of her friends bring it to her. Martha, it is alleged, falsely pre- tended that she had been sent for the coat and got it. Now she may take a journey to New York, where she will not need the coat. Detectives Boyd and Horne had in court a young man named John Littleton, against whom there was a charge of burglary. It was charged that he took part in the smashing of the window of Flanagan's jewelry store just before Christmas, when @ quantity of silverware was taken. His case was referred to the grand jury for investigation. A colored boy named William Dickson was given a hearing because it was charged he snatched a pocket book from Miss Lena Wissmiller in the Northern Lib- erty market Saturday night. He was held, as were the other defend- ants, and the three of them were com- mitted in default of real estate security. —_—>——_. One More Case. One case of smallpox developed iast night, and the patient was removed to the hospital this afternoon, This time the pa- tient is a sixteen-year-old colored girl named Bettie Rich, who lives in house 1810 Valley street northwest, the home of the Turner family, two members of which are now in the hospital. The house has been thoroughly fumigated and_ disinfected twice since the appearance of the first case in the Turner family, and this case sur- prised the health office officials. Leave to Intervene. Judge Hagner today granted leave to Joseph and Catherine Hurley to intervene in the sult of Wheeler against the Fidelity Building and Loan Association.

FOR THE HEART. CARDIN A prominent medical practiticner recently said that during the last fifteen years he has noted po less than seventy-three cases of deaths of elderly persons resulting from running after street cars. No elderly perscn should ever run or exercise with unusual violence. Whoever dees so takes thelr life in their hands, since no one can tell the exact condition of the walls of the heart. When past fifty years of age the cardiac struct- ure is Mable to give way any hour by reason of unusual exertion. The trouble ts that the walls of the heart become friable, and subject to rup- ture with age. The cartilagesous structure es- pecially appreximates ossification, and even the purely muscular cardial fiber loses much of its elasticity as old age creeps on. Cardine (Ham- mond), the extract of the heart of the ox, re- tards this decay of the tissues of the human heart, and strengthens aud makes elastic again the wails of this vital orzan. It bas never failed to strenzthen a weak heart, to correct irregular action and functional derangement caused by ex- cessive use of tobacco, dyspepsia, nervous pros- tration and general debility. An Impoverished condition of the blood is cured, and dropss, as well as Bright's disease of the kidneys, is alle- viated by thin organic extract. CARDINE is the sterilized extract of the heart of the ox, and one of the famous Animal Extracts Prepared under the formula of DR. WM. A. HAMMOND. It contains the substance, both nervous and muscular, required by the HUMAN heart for its nutrition and normal action. It exerts its in- fluence within a few minutes after administra- tien. Its use strengthens the pulss and lessens ite frequency in those cases in which the heart's ac- tion 1s fecble and frequent, causes the disap pearance of intermissions and other irregularitieg fa the strengtn and force of the heart beat, ang materially increrses the bicod pressure so that it acts upon the kidpeys as a diuretic, DOSH, 5 DROPS.

Another burglary has been committed in Mount Pleasant and the police are looking for the burglar, but without any immedi- ate prospect of success. This burglary, th¢ fourth cne that has been committed in Mount Pleasant during the past few weeks, was committed at the residence of Mrs, Alice L. Hill, which is known as “Welling Place.” The front door was left unlocked, an@ between 8 and 9 o'clock the burglar cnter- ed, went upstairs and took two gold watch- es from a bureau drawer. The police are satisfied that the fous turglaries were committed by the sam@ man. Ncne of the stolen property has been disposed of in second-hand stores or pawn- shops, and the police Wmve an idea that it is being put away, and that when the man is eventually caught there will be a whole- sale recovery of plunder, as there was ig the case of*“‘Jack the Slasher.” Detective Weedon is investigating last right’s robbery. —_—_———_—_ Walking Speak Easy. William Simms, a young colored man, who conducted a walking “speak easy,” was tried in the Police Court today for vio- lating the liquor law. Simms did not have the $400 to pay the District for the privi- lege, nor did he have the money to pur chase a good supply of liquids. He made the alleys in South Washington his stamp- ing ground, and did most cf his business on Sundays, when the licenred saloons were closed. Sergeant Daley learned of the op- position to the Ii Pl and nm had Simms in custody. Several of patrons appeared in court and gave dence against him. Judge Miller ruled that the character Simms’ business came select ei Santen f the law, and the jury foun ‘The prisoner was remanded for sentencg,
