Mr. Evan H. Tucker, as chairman of the cemmittee on proposed legislation, in his report to the meeting of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association Monday evening, stated that the Baltimore and Ohio viaduct bill has been before the House District committee since September, 183, and that it has been pigeon-holed all of this session, though other bills of minor importance have been considered and dis- posed of. Reference was then made to the bill providing for the reduction in the price of gas, which was drawn by sald committee, and passed by the House of Representatives through Its agency. Mr. Tucker also reported that the bill providing for the extensions of the Columbia railway and the bill incorporating the East Wash- ington Belt Line Railway Company, both of which had been approved by the asso- ciation, had been favorably reported by the House committee. ——_ A Shakespeare Memorial Window. It will be of interest to all Americans to krow that one object of the visit to this ecuntry of Rev. G. Arbuthnot, who lec- tures this evening before the National Geo- graphic Society at Rifles’ Armory, is to col- lect funds for a handsome American memo- rial window to Shakespeare in the old church at Stratfordton-Avon. By means of individual subscriptions and sums received from the sale of photographs, copies of the registers of the old church, and other me- mentoes of the birthplace of the great poet, the Rev. Mr. Arbuthnot is collecting a sum which will, it is confidently expected, make the American memorial window at Stratford-on-Avon second to none in that historfe building, which, by the way, dates back to the tairteenth century. > First Competitive Drill. The first annual company competitive drill of the fifth battalion, District of Co- lumbia National Guard, to be held this evening in the Center Market Armory 4riil hall, is attracting considerable attention in local military circles. The judgeg are Capt. Charles S. Domer of the National Fencibles, Capt. Harry Walsh of the Em- met Guard, and Cop. W. E. Horton of Gen. Ordway’s siaff. Col. Cecil Clay of the second regiment will present the tro- phies to the winners. cd | Jacobs THE SOCIAL WORLD A Brilliant Levee at the Executive Mansion. A BIG CROWD PRESENT Handsome Ball Last Night at the Washington Club. ST. VALENTINE LUNCHEONS President and Mrs. Cleveland were at home last night to the army, navy and marine corps, and the levee in honor of these three branches of the nation’s de- fenders was a brilliant event, attended by perhaps a larger company than has gath- ered before this winter at the White House. The early birds were very much in evi- dence and were warm and comfortable strolling through the corridors and parlors when the late-comers came in shivering with the cold from their enforced wait in their carriages before they could approach the mansion. An eye trained to effects found much that was interesting in view- ing the outside scene. About 10 o'clock a line of carriages, stretched out like a serpent clear down to 15th street, was slowly wend- ing its way to the portico. A double row of carriages encircled the drive and lined the avenue on either side, while the lights from the house and conservatory made the home of the President stand out clear from its snowy surroundings. The recep- tion began precisely at 9. The descent of the receiving party was preceded by that of Secretary Herbert escorting Mrs. Per- rine, and Postmaster General Bissell with Miss Benedict, who arrived yesterday to be Mrs. Cleveland’s guest. Mrs. Bissell, who has a bad cold, and Miss Herbert were not present at the reception. President and Mrs. Cleveland were assisted by Mrs. Gresham, Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lamént, Mrs. Olney and Miss Morton. All the members of the cabinet were present and were in the blue parlor when the reception began. Colonel Wilson and Lieutenant Gilmore made the introductions, and during the first hour the incoming line never wavered for a moment. The reception, in fact, kept up briskly until after 10:30, When a number of guests having taken their departure the immense throng in the corridors and east room could move about with a degree more of comfort. The gowns worn were par- ticularly fine also, and the scene, with the abundance of military uniforms, lacked no element of brilliancy. The representation of army and navy ofilcers, young and old, was very large and a most complimentary feature of the evening. There were stars of yellow roses and anchors of red ones on the flower-decked mantels of the east room and in the electric light effects, over the corridor door, a star and an anchor in red, white and blue lights. Mrs. Cleveland wore an extremely becoming gown of pink satin spangled in gold. The bodice fitted high on the shoulders and big rosettes in chiffon finished off the tops of the sleeves. A dia- mend) tiara was worn and a diamond neck- Jace. Lieut. Gen. Schofield and Mrs. Schofleld were the observed of all when fhey entered shortly after the reception commenced. Ad- miral and Mrs. Ramsay were also present. ‘ihe diplomatic corps was represented by the ‘British ambassador, the Mexican min- ister, the Brazilian and Turkish ministers and Mr. Boeufve. Others present included Surgeon General and Mrs. Sternberg, Gen. and Mrs. Moore, Gen. and Mrs. Ruggles, Miss Ruggles, Gen. and Mrs. Smith, Gen. barry, the Misses Dubarry, Gen. and . Willcox, Gen.

His home is at Medicine Lodge, a few doors from that of Mr. Simpson, whom he defeated for re-election. Mr. Long is an ardent free silver man and a high protectionist. Last night a masquerade surprise was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Shaw of Good Hope by a party of twenty, who assem- bled at the residence of Miss Kirper, 6th and G streets southeast, where a herdic awaited the party at 8 o'clock. The journey as far as Union Town was en- joyed by all, but upon traversing the hills on the outskirts of the city their travel was interrupted frequently by drifts of snow, which blockaded the road. It was necessary for the gentlemen to get off oc- casionally and push, in order to start the herdic. The party reached their destina- tion at 10 o'clock. The large fires at the Shaw residence were very much appre- ciated by every one, and after becoming thoroughly warmed dancing and singing were enjoyed. At midnight the table in the spacious dining room was filled with a dainty as well as substantial luncheon. Dancing was again the main feature until daybreak. A good old-fashioned Virginia reel ended the party. Miss Edith Goodhand, who has been visit- ing Miss Gracie Hays, has returned to her heme in Alexandria. The Tuesday Cotillion Club will give the 1 ist assembly and german on Monday, the th instaat, instead of Friday, the 2 has been erroneously announced. ——— MOSTLY VAGR4 Ts. Line of These Gentlemen in the Police Court. Four white men and ore woman were in Judge Kimball's procession this morning and most of them had been in trouble be- fore. Jane Gannon, the woman, was in the lead, ard she promptly informed the court that she was innocent of the charge of vagrancy. Jane has been in court so many times that she is almost a fixture. Liquor is the cause of her trouble and her inability to control her appetite has re- sulted in her separation from her husband and children, and now she spends most of her time on the farm. ‘Tuesday she was set free by reason of tho expiration of her sentence, and last evening she was found on the street by Policeman Kimmell. “I found her wandering about the streets,’ the officer told the court, “and I'm not certain whether she had been drinking or whether her mind is affected.” “The court understands all about Jane, was the judge’s remark. “‘When did you get out?” he asked her. “Tuesday,” she answered. Jane had very little to say, and the judge sent her down for a month. Next in order came Mike Lanhady, an- other individual who is as well-known in court as are the employes. Mike is a pensioner, and since his last appearance in court he has treated himself tg a new suit of clothes. He got drunk last night and went to the police station dressed in his new suit of clothes. Know- ing the location of the cells as well as the officers, Mike walked back and selected the one which he wanted to occupy, not stop- ping in the office to register his name, age and occupation, This was not necessary, however, for Mike was too well known. “Guilty,” was his plea when arraigned. “What do you want this time?” the court asked; ‘would you like to go down for thirty days? “I'm satisfied with anything you choose to give me,” he answered. “Thirty days,” said the court. John Lewis, a young man who says his home is at Aidwick, Md., was arraigned on a charge of vagrancy. “He has been loitering about Kernan’s Theater and in bar rooms,” said the police- man who arrested him, “and I don’t believe he would work if he could get it.” The policeman also said that John had a small boy begging for him, “And,” said another officer, been sent to the penitentiary. John claimed that he sold songs and held horses about Pennsylvania avenue and lith street. He denled the other charges. “Why don’t you go back home?” he was asked. “There's no work for me on the farm now,” was his response. His personal bonds were taken. John Webb has been here three weeks and has spent ten days on the farm. He was released Tuesday and today he was sent back for a month. William Kearney was the last one in the Uttle gathering and he went down because his pal has he could not pay $5 for having been dis- orderly. — Fair Play, Gentlemen. To the Editor of The Evening Star: . From some point of view, which I can- not imagine, it may seem all right to do all the clearing away of snow on Pennsyl- vania avenue, but I do not think so. In my opinion, some of the money could be expended and some of the labor applied to much better purpose in cleaning the snow from the dirty crossings of some of the mcre traveled uptown streets and avenues. Many of these are in such shocking condi- tion that children going to school or iadivs having occasion to go out cannot cross a street without wading through snow and slush ankle deep, or over, not only with great inconvenience and discomfort, but at great risk of health. Before any more snow is carted away down town, J therefore beg to suggest to the authorities who are directing the work that they cast their eyes upon some of the up-town thoroughfares, and send some of the shovels, if not some of the carts, to afford much needed relief in that quarter of the city. CONTRIBUTING CITIZEN. February 15, 1895. % Taken to Georgina. The body of the late General James N. Bethune was yesterday taken to Colum- bus, Ga., where it was received by his daughter, Mrs. Hansard. The place of in- terment will be the old family burying ground near Columbus. ONE THING IS SETTLED. It is Well Worth Knowing Now That Grip is Striking Down Feeble Peoples The economy of a nation is disturbed when great amounis of money are hoarded instead of being kept in free circulation. The economy of the human body suffers when the blood is stored up in certain organs while others have scarcely exough to live on. ‘This hoarding of blood is called congestion-and it is one of the dangers of the present outbreak of grip. It affects lungs, stomach and bowels. Congestion unrelieved becomes inflammation an@ every intelligent person knows what that means when the centers of life are affected. That grow- ing soreness across the chest, that painful sense of fullness in the head, are signs that the grip has laid its elutches upon you. “Please send me six bottles of Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky,” writes Mr. EB. Alexander of Mal and we must have it.’” Congested organs are relieved of their surplus of blood, the circulation is equalized, the appetite sharpened and the digestion improved by this Wholesome and helpful stimulant. That explains its unbroken success in cases of grip. Nothing which does less will ward off the grip and no product of mortal skill can do more, Sub- Jected to the stern test of experience Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky has established itself firmly in the esteem of physicians, aud laymen, feeling it strengthening influence, wonder what they would do without it in these bleak winter days, when grip is in the air. Nobody necd try to do without it, for grocers and druggists always have it In stock, knowing that confidence in tis usefulness has bred a steady demand for it. Doctors differ as to the final effect of certain remedies. There are only a few, the value of which is beyond dispute. Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is among them. = MINISTER GRAY DEAD. A Victim of Pneumonia, Developed From a Cold Contracted Here. Issac P. Gray, U. 8. minister to Mexico, died in the City of Mexico last evening from pneumonia. He had arrived in the morning. The Pullman car conductor found him unconscious at 2 o’clock yester- day morning. He was carried from the train on a stretcher to the American Hos- pital. The physician in attendance in- formed Mrs. Gray that he would not live the day out. He was unconscious and re- mained so ever since his arrival, and rec- ognized no one. Minister Gray contracted the cold in Washington while here to receive his final instructions in the Guatemala-Mexican af= fairs. He left Chicago last Sunday for the City of Mexico, and nothing was heard from him until the telegram yesterday afternoon announcing his iliness was re- ceived in Indianapolis. Isaac Pusey Gray was born in Chester ccunty, Pa., October 18, 1828. He was the son of John Hanna Gray. In 1855 he re- moved his family to Union City, Ind., where he resided for many years, and where he entered upon the practice of law. Mr. Gray was colonel of the fourth In- diana cavalry in the civil war. Returning home, he regained his wasted energies and re-entered the one hundred and for- tieth Indiana infantry. He was nominated by acclamation on the democratic ticket for Neutenant gov- error, was elected to that position in 1876, and was renominated for the same place in 1880 by the state convention. In 1884 Mr. Gray was elected governor of Indiana on the democratic ticket, and served his full term. After retiring from that office he followed the practice of his profession in partner- ship with his son, Pierre Gray, until he was called to the Mexican mission by Presi- dent Cleveland. State Department Informed. Secretary Gresham has received a brief telegram from Mr. Butler, charge d’af- faires at the City of Mexico, announcing the death of United States Minister Gray last night. The Secretary has telegraphed a message of condolence to Mrs. Gray and has instructed Mr. Butler to make all necessary arrangements, at the expense of the government, for the transportation of the remains to Indianapolis. Much sorrow was expressed by the death of Minister Gray at the City of Mexico. But a few days ago he was on the floor of the House, seemingly in the best of health. Minister Gray told his friends here that he was pleased with his new line of public werk, and had plans for strengthening the friendly relations between the United States and Mexico. He felt confident the difficul- ties between Mexico and Guatemala would be adjusted without resort to arms. The Indiana delegation in Congress will hold a meeting today to take appropriate action, an unusual honor to the memory of a public man not member or an ex-member of Congress. = GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
