T. U. Peti- tion. < . Expected Here This Week—The Mon- ster Meeting at Convention Hall—The Outlined Plan. If the storm and the snow shall permit, there will reach Washington In a few heurs by express from Chicago the largest ccliection of signatures ever gathered in the world—the monster polyglot petition against the liquor traffic that has been made up in every querter of the globe by the efforts of the Weman’s Christian Tem- perance Union. At all events, the petition will reach here in time to be draped about the walls of Convention Hall at the great mass meeting of Friday night. This peti- tion, about which sé much has been writ- ten and said, is the result of upward of twelve years of the hardest kind of labor on the part of missionaries of the W. C. T. U. It now contains 1,121,200 actual names, which represent upward of six millions of people residing in every sec- tion of the earth. Many of the signatures are attestations on behalf of organiza- ticns. The Salvation Army with one sig- nature indorsed for 300,000 members; the attestation of the Gcod Templars meant 0.000 names; the United Society of Christian Endeavor added 2,000,000 names in one line. It is estimated that the in- dorsements of societies ond churches amount to nearly 5,000,000 persons. There are three kinds of indorsements; first, the Dames: of women; second, the written in- dorsements of men, and, third, the at- testation of officers of organizations which indorsed the petition by resolution or otherwise. There are upwards of one million men represented on the petition. The Original Pian. The original plan of Miss Frances E. Willard, who first conceived the notion of the polygot petition to the rulers of the earth, was to obtain 2,000,000 signatures, and she propos-s to continue the work un- ul this number is reached. The notion of the petition came to her in 1883, when, as presideat of the W. C. T. U. of America, she attended the convention held that year in San Francis She was taking the usual trip through Chinatown, and was struck with the fearful degradation of jeboth men and woren as the resuit of the cpium habit. Her notion was that the wo- men of the orient could do something to better their conditicn, and in a short time the plan of petition was evolved, and be- fore many days had passed Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt of Boston had started out as the first missionary to obtain signatures for a petition that should be presented to every ruler of the world, asking them to trip away the sanctions of the state from the drink trattic and op protect homes ly the total prohibition of these Alone, and with oniy money enough to go to Hawaii, Mrs. Leavitt began this great work. In Honolulu she formed a branch of the W. Cc. T. U. and started the petition. The wo- men ther paid the cost of her voyage to Australia, where she spent a year and founded unions. Then she went to New Zealand, China, Sapan, Siam, Burmah, In- dia, Afghanistan, Madagascar, South’ Af- rica and the Congo Free State. Three years in Africa exhausted her strength, and she went to Europe to rest, but in a short time she was hard at work there or- ganizing unions and setting women to work getting signers. In England, Hol- land, France and Italy, she said, her work was even harder than it had been in Af- rica, and she encountered more opposi- tion. Thick and Fast. Other “all-the-world missfonaries” fol- lowed Mrs. Leavitt until the petitions were circulating throughout the globe, and he- fore many months had eiapsed they be- gan to pour into the Temperance Temple in Chicago, the headquarters for the work. ‘There Miss Alice E. Briggs gathered them, and by her they were shipped by the bushel to Mrs. Rebecca C. Shuman of Evanston, Il, to whom was allotted the t: of | mounting the individual petitions on white muslin for the purpose of preserving them. ‘The muslin wis formed into webs or rolls, on which ine petitions, after being cut and pinned, were pasted, averaging four col- umns abreast, with about 100 names to the yard in each column. Mrs. Shuman mount- | ed 1.928 yards, over one mile, making t |-ward of four miles of names, if they | written solidly one under the other aggregated 771,200 names. In addition these there came rolls frem Great Britain, containing names. There are other names aggregat- ing hundreds of thousands yet to be mounted and added to the petition. The Petition. The following is the text of the petition | to which the millions of minds have given assent: PETITION OF THE WORLD'S WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION For the PROTECTION OF THE HOME. to already mounted Addressed to the Governments of the World. Honored Rulers, Representatives and Brothers: We, your petitioners, although belonging (to the physically weaker sex, are strong ‘of heart to love our nomes, our native land and the world’s family of nations. We know that clear brains and pure hearts make honest lives and happy homes, and that by these the nations prosper, and the time is brought nearer when the world shall be at peace. We know that indulgence in alcohol and opium, and in other vices which disgrace our social life, makes misery world, and most of all for us and for our children. We know that stimulants and opiates are sold under legal guarantees which make the governments partners in the traf- fic, by accepting as revenue a portion of the profits, and we know with shame that they are often forced by treaty upon pop- ulations, either ignorant or unwilling. We know that the law might do much, now left undone, to raise the moral tone of society and render vice difficult. We have no power to prevent these great iniquities beneath which the whole world groans but you have power ‘to redeem the honor of the nations from an -inde- fensibie complicity. We therefore come to you with the united voices of representative women of every beseeching you to raise the standard | of the law to that of Christian morals, to | strip away the safeguards and_ sanctions of ihe state from the drink traffic and the opinm trade, and to protect our homes by the total prohibition of these curses of civilization throughout all the territory over which your government extends.

The Objections of the Medical Society to the Commissioners’ Bill. Dr. Samuel C. Busey, as chairman of the committee on legislation of the Medical Society of the District, has addressed a communication to the Commissioners em- bodying the objections of the committee to the bill known as the ‘Commissioners’ bill,” and entitled “A bill to regulate the practice of medicine and surgery, to license physicians and surgeons, and to punish persons violating the provisions thereof in the District of Columbia.” The committee of the Medical Society suggests that Sec. 1 be so amended that not more than two of the board of medical supervisors shall be appointed from either of the three systems of medicine recog- nized in the bill, so that it will be impos- sible for either of these systems of medi- cine to acquire a majority of said board of medical supervisors. The committee recommends the omis- sion of all of section 3 after the word “sur- gery” in line 3v. This clause provides the licensing of “any applicant intending to practice in the District of Columbia any system of medicine or treatment other than the regular or homeopathic or eclec- tic system.” “It is objectionable,’’ Dr. Busey writes, “not only because it is an invitation to the horde of charlatans, pre- tenders and imposters, driven from the states by the enforcemert of medical prac- tice laws, which prevent the prosecution of their nefarious and mercenary impositions, to settle in this District, now the common rendezvous of such disreputable classes, but it is a direct and positive insult to every intelligent and educated physician, in that it ignores all and every method and system of preliminary and technical education, and is in direct conflict with the reforms and elevated standard of medical education which the profession is putting in active operation throughout the coun- try. There is now in this city one system claiming to have a charter obtained under the provision of the general incorporation law, with one emeritus professor, and one graduate, who signed the certificate of his own graduation. Under the clause referred to, unlike systems but similar institutions may be chartered at the will of any drug or medicine fiend, and be entitled to a license to practice the science of medicine in this District. “The same clause of section 8, lines 45 to 47, compels such applicant, when licensed, to insert ‘in any advertisement he may cause to be displayed the designation of the system of medicine or treatment employed by him for the cure or relief of Thus, not only is the fraud to be but, when licensed, he is required to commit a fraud upon the credulous pub- lic by advertising to do that which he knows he cannot do. Dr. Busey also urges that provision be inserted to prohibit “publicly advertising ability to treat and cure diseases,” and the Medical Society of the District of Columbia is willing to accept any one of the forty medical practice laws now in force in the states and territories®of the country, except the Alabama law, to which it ebjects because of a provision so: vhat similar to the objectionable clause in tion 8 of the Commissioners’ bill, but which is more securely guarded, because of the supervision of the State Society. aS SE CREATED D Punishment for Ungrateful Occupants of the Mission, Walking on the railroad tracks and country roads is not very good just now, and the many tramps and other non-resi- dent paupers who were here when the snow storm appeared have been unable to get out of the city, having nothing to do except saw and split a little wood at the lodging house or mission. The conse- quence is that some of them have been getting drunk and causing trouble. There was trouble at the mission yesterday, and the police had to be called in to quell the disturbance. Walter Redgers, an intox!- cated n, caused the disturbance. He ad been out drinking during the night, and said he had been directed to the mis- sion, where he was told he could get a hot meal and a warm bed. The man’s nose Kkinned and his general appearance udicated that he had been in a fight or had failen on theNice, When he faced Judge Kimball this morn- ing there was a charge of disorderly con- duct against him. ‘The prisoner attempted to explain his conduct, but the proof was against him, and Judge Kimball told him he might as well unde nd that when he goes to the mission he will have to behave himself. A fine of $10 or thirty days was imposed. John McDonaid has been at the mission a nuraber of times this winter, and he has also beea accommodated at ‘the lodging house. Lately he has been drinking, and Policeman Gassaway had him in court as a@ vagrant. “Whe ked him, ‘Here, was the response, “Does anybody know this defendant?” the court wanted to know. is your home?” Judge Kimball “lt know he doesn’t belong here,” said Bailiff Kendig. “How long have you been here?” the oner W everal days. Where are you from?” 3altimore.”” He was given ten . and the judge warned him that he had better leave the city when he gets out. Another man, named Arthur Randall, alias Sullivan, arrested at the mission, was given a similar sentence. 1 Burns. about 5 o'clock asked, Died Fri Saturday afternoon Ernest Hamilton, a seven-year-old colored oy, was taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. He had been playing with fire at the home of his parents, on C street. The child's mother was in the house at the time, and when attracted to her boy by his shrieks she saw him stand- ing in front of the stove with a plece of paper in a blaze. His clothing had caught re, and before the mother could extin- ish the flames the boy was severely burned about the face, breast and arms. At the hospital he ‘received the best treatment possible, but his injuries were so serious that’ yesterday he died.

Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter.—Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter .presented her new mono- logue, ““Which,¥ at Metzerott Music Hall on Saturday night Before a large and fash- fonable audience, Miss Potter delivered the lines and acted the role of the heroine with consummate skill and peopled the stage with imaginaryzplayers so successfully that they scemed te live and move and fully Participate in the action and speech. Miss Potter presents ar attractive and unique entertainment, and the fact that she can hold an audience dor two hours unaided proves that she is.a highly gifted enter- tainer. Her versatility is great and she has a personai magnetism that attracts and retains the ateention of her audience. During the evéning she was repeatedly in- terrupted with applause, and several rich tributes of fioWers were handed over the footlights. The entertainment was opened with a piano #lo by Prof. W. B. Gibbs, and a solo and encére were pleasingly sung by Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry. ‘Which’: is a quaint story by Charles Barnard. It is full of human sympathy. Through it Miss Potter wavers between the acceptance of an offer of marriage from a man of wealth and position and the proffered love of a professional man. After many deci- sions, reconsiderations, tears and smite true love triumphs in the end. Tonigh Miss Potter will give ‘Flirts and Matron: The Stoddard Lectures.—Tonight at the Academy of Music Mr. John L. Stoddard will commence his series of lectures. No other lecturer has the same hold upon a Washington audience, and whatever may be the attractions elsewhere this veteran entertainer may count upon his usual “sea of upturned faces” as he spreads before them the splendid features of ‘‘Paris.”” Willard Hall—A dramatic and musical entertainment will be given at Willard Hall on Friday night, under the patronage of Miss ugenia Washington, president of the Daughters of the Revolution; Mrs. Granville Mason and Mrs. Matthew Pol- lock. The fine English comedy, “In Honor Bound,” will be presented with a com- petent cast, and there will be other at- tractions on the program. Seats may be secured at Metzerott’s music store. People’s Lecture Course.—The second of the series in the people's lecture course will be given tomorrow evening in the Church of Our Father, by Rev, M. W. Hamma, D. D., the subject being “Through Denmark and Sweden, Under the Mid- right Sun,” illustrated. Those who heard Dr. Hamma’s lecture last Tuesday on “Southern Norway” speak in the highest terms both of the lecturer ard the illus- trations. The price of the course tickets is remarkably low. A Valentine Tea.—A unique entertain- ment will be given by the Covenant League of King’s Daughters at the Church of the Covenant tomorrow evening. 1t will take the form of a “valentine tea,” and the program which will be rendered includes Miss Vernon of London, Miss Nesmith, Dr. Frark Woodman, Miss Mira Critten- den and the Georgetown Banjo Club. Mr. Finncy’s Lecture—Interest in the pas- sion play will be greatly revived by the an- nouncement that the management of Met- zerott’s has made arrangements with Mr. Finney to deliver his fascinating lecture on that subject on next Wednesday evening. Mr. Finney is well known in Washington as the private secretary to the Secretary of the Navy, and has many friends who will doubtless take advantage of this opportuni- y to hear him. The illustrations, with which the lecture is replete, are most real- istic, and_many of them are handsomely colored. The lecture has been given here before, and those who have heard Mr. Fin- ney are unanimous in his praise. It has since been carefully revised, and eplarged by the addition of some new views. pessoas At AR If not convenient to call at the office you can obtain a copy of The Star's Almanac and Handbook of aty news stand. 25c._ ss ess sa a Us.S: DENTAL | ASS’N, oeery Seoetntntetetetetntntntntntnonolononnedoely Soetoateetecte cor, 7TH AND D N.W. £ $ $ Dentistry has been revolutionized by the ¢ Association A corps of expert op- 4 rking at the thing he € to save tim erators, enc best; ev a large bu Plains our prices: Painless extracting. 50c.; fillings, 7c. up; ¥& iy gold crowns, § Bi ecth, Consultation costs nothing. $u30-tt % a ee % Sreetetntntetetnt lars in the middle ot the them by buying your clothe treet—and We' re closii good Suitings at SI aye Mearz AND Mearz, Modern Price Tailors, 906 - Street N.W.

A man about fifty-five years old, who is known as J. Hill, C. N. Richardson, J. V. Reed and perhaps a number of other names, was arrested in Hagerstown Sat- urday night and fs held for the authorities here, although the Canton, Ohio, authori- ties are anxious to get him there. It is charged, both in this city and in Canton, that he worked a swindling game and got various sums of money. He is known as a man who deals in patent rights, and his arrest was the result of his own conversa- tion with a passenger on ar east-bound train over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad last week. While en route this way from Ohio he got in conversation with a passen- ger who occupied the seat with him and told him he was selling patent rights. At Cherry Run the alleged swindler got oft the train, saying he was going to Hagerstown. When he got off the train the man who had occupied the seat with him picked up a copy of a Canton paper and read of a man being wanted for working a swindling game in connection with a patent. The story in the paper fitted the man who had left the train to go to Hagerstown, and when this-man reached here he informed Inspector Hollinberger of the affair. The inspector at once communicated with the Hagerstown authorities, with the re- sult stated. The prisoner, whose right name is thought to be Hill, is known in Providence, Rhode Island, and Wilkesbarre, Pa, It is charged here that he obtained from Mr. William M. King the sum of $100 for the exclusive privilege of handling his (Hill’s) patent truck and stepladder here and in Maryland and Virginia. At that time, it {s alleged, he had already sold the right to another individual. He also agreed to furnish a number of the ladders and trucks, which, of course, he failed to do. Today Mr. King and a detective went to Hagerstown, and the prisoner will probably be brought here this week for trial.
