It the grip would run its course lke another @isease and then yo away, leaving no trace be- hind ft would still be dangerous enough to justify all the precautions against it. But the evil that grip does lives after it. People who can’t digest their food and complain of cold hands and feet, or Of shattered nerves, or are tormented by a persist. ent cough, say, “IE have never been well since I had the grip.” ‘The reason ts simple enough. There has been an immense drain of vital force during the battle With the disease, and this loss has never been made goal.

Glennan had been missing for a week. The night after the heavy snowfall he ieft the home and went out to attend a meeting of a Grand Army post. That night he did not return, and anxious inquiries have been made concerning his whereabouts, but ‘t was not until Saturday afternoon that his fate was known. When he returned to the grounds that night on his way home he at- tempted to take a short cut across the fields instead of keeping to the road, and the re- sult was that he got caught in the drift. ‘The deceased, who was forty-one years old, enlisted in the service in 187 in battery L, fifth artiliery.

Keenan, secretary of the Pimlico Driving Club, of Baltimore, when asked regarding the prospects for raciag at the track this spring, said that he had just had an interview with President John Waters, The latter had just returned from New York, where he had presented the re- quest of the Pimlico Driving Club for a running meeting. The report from New York to the effect that the request had been denied was without foundation, said Mr. Keenan. On the contrary, the parties there are anxious to comply with the wish- es of the Baltimore people. They are sim- ply holding off from making final arrange- ments until a satisfactory date and a de- sirable class of racing can be planned. The proposition is that the raging is to last one week, and will include flat racing and steeplechasing. Mr. Keenan says that the outlook is for a meeting to be held late in May or the first part of June. WILL HAVE A FIN KEEL. ‘The Secret of the New Cup Defender is Out. The Boston Herald has a dispatch from Bristol, R. L, which says: Despite three special policemen and electric wires at- tached to the boards just inside the doors of the Herreshoff shop, the secret of the new cup defender is out. Designer Herre- shoff is going to build in secret a fin keel. With four feet more water line length than the Vigilant, the new cup defender of 1895 will have a larger wet surface than the Vigilant. She will have between 2,100 and 2,300 feet of wetted surface. She is to have a good deal of the ballast fin about her; that is, the shape of the main hull of the boat will not give so sharp a dead rise to the section as it does in the Wasp. MEMBERSHIP FELL OFF. Reports Submitted to the League of _ American Wheelmen. At yesterday’s meeting of the L. A. W., in New York, President Charles H. Lus- ccmbe presented his annual report, in which he advised the holding of two con- ventions yearly, one in the fall, and the other in the early spring; one in the east, and the other in the west, as a convenience to the league members living at the ex- tremes of the country. The report of the secretary shows that the membership-of the L. A. W. has de- creased from 251 locaf leagues to 180. There are 690 lady members of the league, the greater number being in Massachusetts, 20, The treasurer’s report showed $943 in the treasury, and outstanding debts amounting to $5,190. Delegate Mott of Maryland of the trans- pertation committee read a report relative to the transportation of wheels by rail- reads, and, in speaking of their loss by theft, advocated the establishment of an officer, whose duty should be to notify all baggage masters on the various railroads, and also the repair shops, to look out for stolen bicycles, offering a reward for re- covery. He estimated the annual cost of such an office to be about $1,500. Then delegate Howard E. Raymond of the racing board submitted his report. He said that 250 in class B had been declared this season. There were 232 men suspend- ed during the season for various offenses, and that 1,808 race meets were sanctioned during the year. He suggested that race meetings be held between the months of May and September, and that no other records be recognized. He also recom- mended that no intermediate records be al- lowed; that a rider must go for each dis- tance record separately. He also recommended that the alliance between the Canadian league and the L. A. W. be continued, and also that between the A. A. U. and L, A. W., and also the reten- tion of membership in the international league. He advocated the assessment of league clubs for sanctions for meet as fol- pas National meet $10 and other meets He recommends the appointment of of- ficial referees for the national circuits, and to take time limits from trial heats. . Delegate Sterling Elliott of Boston of the Gcod-roads publishing committee submitted his report. It stated that the net receipts for ten months for subscriptions, etc., amounted to $860. After this report a recess was taken. WINTER BASE BALL TALK. Notes of Interest Regarding Well- Known Players. Ed. Cartwright, the big first baseman of the Senators, has arrived. He is the first to appear. The team has been ordered to report on March 2. Local patrons are hopeful that the proph- ets will prove false and that Mercer and Joyce will be found on the team this year, satisfied and at their best. Manager Connie Mack of the Pitisburg club has received a letter from Pitcher Hawley, late of St. Louis, accepting the terms offered by Pittsburg, $2,400, Wm. Hallman, the second baseman, has signed with the Philadelphia club. This leaves Cross as the only one of Capt. Ir- win’s team who has not yet signed. Otis Stocksdale, pitcher of the Washing- tons, has recovered from his attack of rheumatism and is in fine condition, bar- ring a little surplus flesh, for hie weighs 19) pounds. Frank Shannon, the shortston of the Springfield, Mass., club, is anxious to get his release, as he has a league offer and is willing to pay for it. President Dickin- son is willing, but the remainder of the board object. Dan. Richardson, who watch- ed Shannon’s work in 'J2, recommended him to the Washington management. Pitcher Bert Abbey of Washington's ‘92 team, who has been attending the Spring- field (Mass.) Physical Culture ‘Training School this winter, has lett for Chicago. He Intends to retire at the end of the sea- son and secure a position in some college. Manager Tom Burns has booked the Bos- tons to play In Springfield April 13. Manager Connte Mack of the Pittsburg club has received a letter from Patsy Te- beau of Cleveland that made him tear his hair. Mack has asked for a game with Cleveland at Savannah during the practice season. Tebeav replied he could not think of playing with such a cheap team as the Pirates and his dates were all filled any- how. Harvard lovers of base ball are jubilant because Robert Wrenn, lawn tennis cham- pion of the United States, will play on the ball team this year. Wrenn is a first-class ball player and will add greatly to- the strength of the club. ATHLETICS AND GYMNASTICS. A Fine Program Well Executed by ¥. M. C. A. Representatives. The athletic and gymnastic exhibition at the Y. M. C. A. building last night attract- ed the usual large number of spectators. Every available spot was taken by the enthusiastic admirers of the participants. ‘The program consisted of a dumb-bell drill, exercise on the German horse, wrestling by Fridley and Pfeiffer, spring board, hori- zontal bar, vaulting bar, bicycle riding, exhibition mile on home trainer by W. Fred Sims, parallel bars,wrestling by Ward and McChesney and tumbling. The special feature of the exhibitions given by the association is to indicate the possibilities of class work, seven of the ten numbers of the program being exhibitions of class drills. The first and most popular number was the dumb-bell drill, in which the infinite variety of movements of the Roberts’ drill was displayed, indicating how every part of body may be developed. ‘This class reflects great credit upon Phy- sical Director Sims. The German horse and horizontal bar work brought out the individual work of a number of the athletes, and never before dia Moysell show his capabilities aS on the latter, eliciting continued applause. Trott, Green, Morsell, Lenwick, Riggles and Han: ford did very creditable work. Von Boeck- mann gave an exhibition of feats of strength which greatly interested the spec- tators. The wrestling by Fridley and Pfeiffer and Ward and McChesney were attractive features of the program, as was also the bicycling of Fred Sims, as exhibited on the home trainer, when he made a mile in 1 minute and 45 seconds and a quarter in 12 seconds. Sims is to ride with the Columbia team this year in class B, and is looked upon as among the leaders. The tumbling of Fenwick and Riggles shows wonderful improvement, and refiests great credit upon Mr. Horan, who has been indefatigable in his efforts to instruct his special class. Among the many who took part were Jobson, Ward, McChesney, Pfeif- fer, Trott, Hansford, A. K. Smith, Monk Beall, Shepard, Stafford, Pinney, Fenwick, Riggles, Heininger, Greene, Hudson, Sims, Brower and Webster. , No Foreign Hooks Allowed. A bigger crowd than ‘ever attended the Arlington running races near Baltimore yesterday, and the jting ring proved rather too small {9 accommodate the throng which did te ess with seven bookmakers. The track Was heavy, though much drier than before and safer. Only one favorite, Mickey, B., won. The closest finish of the meeting wa in the last event. There was no betting; on outside races yesterday. The Madikom track had closed and the New Orleans #adés were not posted up. All bets were onthé races at Arling- ten track. It is understood that the Society for the Suppression ‘lof 1Vice wrote to the Baltimore county authorities concerning al- leged violations of law hy betting on races in other states, and_that the society re- quested the authorities tg put a stop to it. The winners were Thackeray, Mickey B, Pickaway, Watch Charm’ and Monte Carlo. States Attorney Duncan says: “The law of 1894 is specific, and says that no pool shall be sold on any races other than those actually in progress on the track where the sale is made. They have a right to run their races and to sell their pools on those races, but the moment they sell on races at St. Louis, or Madison, or any other place, they violate our laws. The penalty for a violation of the law is a fine not ex- ceeding $500, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or both, in the discretion of the court. Stake Races at St. Asaph’s. The stakes announced to be run at St. Asaph’s have already been published in The Star, with the exception of the Mon- ticello for two-year olds, half a mile, at 112 rounds. They will close March 12. The stakes are all $1,000 in value. All horses which appear on the official program of the day will be considered as starters, and will be held liable for the full entrance fee. Owners intending to start must notify the secretary by the regular hour of closing entries on the day preceding the race. Otherwise the horse’s name will not be placed upon the day program, and the en- try will not be considered as having the right to start. Reviving the Olympian Games. A cable dispatch fromAthens says that the committee on the-revival of the Olympian games intends to invite the chief corpor- ate body of European and America to wit- ness or partake in the games of 1806. ‘The hereditary prince of Saxe-Meiningen will attend and offer a prize. Harvard’s Boll Nine. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., February 10,—Near- ly fifty men reported in response to Capt. Whittemore's call for candidates for the *varsity base ball nine. All last season’s pitchers and catchers are on deck again. Outside the battery candidates there are of lest year’s nine Whittemore, Winslow, Hayes and Beale.

The appropriation bills were suddenly side-tracked yesterday afternoon in the Senate, and the bill providing for the un- limited coinage of silver was taken up for consideration and made the unfinished busi- ness of the Senate. This was not accom- plished, however, without some very sharp fighting, though there was no debate, ex~ cept upon the parliamentary questions that arose, The agricultural appropriation bill was passed at 5:50, and immediately Mr. Jones of Arkansas moved to take up Sen- até bill 2642, which was originally intro- duced by him and amended by the finance committee to the elimination of everything but one section, which provides for the un- restricted coinage of silver. Mr. Hale moved to adjourn, which motion was de- feated, 17 to 36. There then ensued some brisk skirmishing for advantage, but the silver men were sure of their strength, and after a brief struggle with the parliament- ary questions that arose, Mr. Call secured precedence with a motion to take up the Indian appropriation bill, the Vice Presi- dent ruling that under the rule this mo- tion was in order over that of Mr. Jones to take up the silver bill. But Mr. Call's motion was voted down, 26 to 30. ‘The Silver Bill Up. In very short order the vote was taken on Mr. Jones’ motion to proceed with the consideration of the silver bill, and this was carried, 30 to 27. The vote was as follows: Yeas—Allen, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, But- ler, Call, Cameron, Clark, Daniel, Dubois, Hansbrough, Harris, Hunton, Jones of Ar- kansas, Jones of Nevada, Kyle, McLaurin, Mantle, Morgan, Perkins, Peffer, Petti- grew, Pugh, Squire, Stewart, Teller, Tur- pie, Voorhees, Walsh and White—30. Nays—Allison, Brice, Camden, Carey, Chandler, Davis, Dixon, Frye, Gallinger, George, Gibson, Gray, Hale, Hawley, Hill, Hoar, McMillan, McPherson, Manderson, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Palmer, Pasco, Platt, Proctor, Quay, Ransom and Vilas e following Senators were paired for the motion to take up the bill: Mitchell, Power, Pritchard, Wolcott and Shoup, re- publicans; and Blanchard, Cockrell, Coke, Faulkner, Mills, Gordon, Reach, Irby, Mar- 4 tin and Vest, democrats. These were paired against the motion and the bill: Aldrich, Burrows, Cuitom, Dolph, Higgins, Sherman, Wilson, Morrill, Lodge and Washburn, republicans; and Caffery, Gorman, Lindsay, Murphy and Smith, democrats. How the Senate Stands. There were thus 9 republicans voting for the bill, and 15 against It, 16 democrats for it and 12 against it, and 5 populists for it— counting Messrs. Stewart and Jones as pepulists. Including the pairs, as stated above, the strength of the Senate, accord- ing to yesterday's vote, stands as follows on the silver question: Fourteen republi- cans for and 2h against, 26 democrats for and 17 against, 5 populists for. This makes a total of 45 votes for silver against 42 votes in opposition. But of these 42 votes one is that of a pronounced free silver man, Mr. George of Mississippi, who voted yesterday against his convictions, in order that the bankruptcy bill might not be dis- placed. Thus, when he gets straightened out on this question, the Senate will stand 46 for silver and 41 against, until Mr. Wil- son of Washington takes his seat, when there will be 47 votes for silver, and 41 against. After the Senate ‘had Yormally taken up the bill as its unfinished business, Mr. Jones was eager to get a vote upon it, but there was opposition expressed, owing to the absence of several Senators, and ob- jection was interposed, when Mr. Jones ask- ed unanimous consent to take the vote at a certain hour today. So the Serate adjourn- ed at 6:27, having done some important business in 37 minutes, and without hav- ing determined when the vote should be taken. — Cartographic Draftsman Wanted. An examination will be held by the civil service commission March 7 and 8 to fill a vacancy in the position of cartographic draftsman in the hydrographic office, Navy Department, at a salary of $1,000 per an- num. Applications will be accepted from residents of the District of Columbia and from any of the states, without reference to the number of appointments they may have had in*excess of their quotas. The subjects of the examination will be letter writing, geography, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, projections and drafting.

The attorney for the District today ren- dered an opinion to the Commissioners upon the question as to whether or not the Me- tropolitan Railroad Company should be re- quired, in changing its motive power as re- quired by law, to put in a switch at 9th and B streets for the accommodation of the Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad Company, ‘The question, he says, would seem to be not whether the Metropolitan company should put in a switch, but rather whether it.can ‘permanently displace the existing switches at that point, laid pursuant to an act of Congress, approved August 1, 1885, for the accommodation of the Anaopstia company.

The belief is growing that the President has decided to refrain from filling the va- tancy caused in the list of brigadier gen- erals by the promotion of Gen. Schofield, to be Heutenant general, and Gen. Ruger, to be major general. It is said that it was only by an oversight that Congress cre- ated the place and increased the number of general officers, and the President in- tends to remedy it by withholding an ap- pointment. April 22 Gen. McCook will re- tire, leaving a natural vacancy among the brigadier generals, which will be promptly filled, and, upon Lieut. Gen. Schofield’s re- tirement next September, should the Pres- ident refrain from filling the present va- cancy, matters will return to the old or- der, and the number of general officers will remain as it is. a There is excitement at Racoon Creek, W.
