——————— SS A GALLANT SOLDIER. Mr. George B. Shafer, of ficramton, Pay Saw Service im the Rebellion—A well-Bnown G. A. R. Comrade. (From the Scranton, Pa., Republican.) Mr. George E. Shafer, of 1559 Von Storch Avenue, Scranton, Pa., wears the honored brown button of ‘the Grand Army of the epublic. He enlisted in Company A of the Fi it, Pennsylvania Volun- teer Infantry, at the outbreak of the war, and after a year of service his trade, that of a machinist, with the army in | Tennessee. He is now a member of Griffis Post, No. 139, of Seranton. Mr. Shafer was a mere boy in those da: ‘and to-day he carries his 50 years lightly, He says he has had very little sickness dur- ing his life, although for a number of years past he has been troubled with dyspepsia— @ disability that may be traced to his camp life and his constant work in the sho; “Dyspepsia doesn’t bother me much now, though,” Mr. Shafer told a reporter. “Puin-Killer was recommended to me, and remembering its great efficacy in curing the pains of soldier life, I tried it. Before that uffered untold agony with that ‘lump of lead’ that you have undoubtedly heard about if you never experienced it. It is worse than the lead from the musket ofa foe. It used to attack me at all sorts of times, usally without warning. Before I to use Pain-Killer I could find no relief ex- cept to let it wear itself out and then be careful about my diet. In fact, there was nothing that I could cat apd enjoy with- out the danger of bringing on an attack. But now I have no trouble at all,” con- tinued Mr. Shafer. “I eat what I please and when I Jee and enjoy the best of health. If the ‘lump of lead’ appears I simply take two or three drops of Pain- Killer in a little water or miik, and it dis- appears instantly. The result is I am never without Pain-Killer, but always have if with me wherever I go.” AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa aE A 3 4 3An Up-to-date Necessitys ¢For the Toilet and Bath.

C. C. Since the project of an intergymnasium contest was first broached at the Columbia Athletic Club local athletes have been in- dulging in a wish to make such contests annual affairs. One well-known leader in local athletic circles, when asked to give his views to a Star reporter, said: “In my opinion, there should be formed in this city an organization for the patron- age and fostering of all field sports, in-- door contests and, possibly, boating. This association should be formed of delegates | from the local clubs, numerically propor- tioned, and should have felt newer vide and arrange for competitions in which the members of more than one club are bs = best, I think, to have a short and concise constitution, simply adopting the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union, for the regu- lation of all field days and other contests. Each branch of athletics would need a spe- cial committee to look after its interests, and in that case it would be advisable to have committees on field days, base ball, foot ball, tennis and probably boating. The latter would provide for the much-talked- of Potomac river regatta, and for that very reason, I think, boating men should be much inclined to support the scheme. Each committee ought to be empowered to make all arrangements necessary to the carrying out of proposed contests, the oan ot a whole to have the order- as regards dates and place. A possibl rock might be the choice of a presiding officer, selected from among the many men of substance in Washington interested in athletics. As will be seen, such an ovgani- zation would not have a gre&t amount of Power, and would not, therefore, over- shadow the present athletic associations, ami so cause discontent. ‘In other words, the whole thing would be simply a permanent committee, having for its object the establishment of annual competitions, and so revive interest in ath- letics in the District. In other words, it would be a local A. A. U." i Such a plan as that just mentioned has been often thought of, but no one has ever had the courage necessary to propose and carry out the scheme. That there are nu- merous difficuliies in the way no one will deny, but the question js: “Is not the game worth the candle?" Ag it stands how, leaving out the C. A. C.’s and the Christian Association, there is not a club in the city that has men _ experienced enough to enter in every event in the com- ing affair at the C. A. C., and all because field days have been few and far between. Chairman Harmon of the the Columbia Athletic Club has received a letter from Referee Goldie, fixing the date as March 28, for the gymnasium contests. That date, however, does not suit the committee and a reply has been sent to Mr. Goldie, ask- ing him if he has the 27th open. If he has, it will take piace on that day, if not, then on the 28th. The Columbias have Talmage, Hough and Belknap down for the shot-putting. Ud agate Cn The latter weights nearly two hundred when In condition, and is looked upon as having a good chance for winning. He played on the foot ball team last year. In addition to those mentioned in last Saturday's Star as winged arrow extries are the following: Broad jumping, Basil Duka, McGowan and Bayne; batteau board, : ne; parallel well and Holbrook, and Harmon, Watts and Hol- Watts, flying ring, brook. Instructor Crossley is relying mainly on the men who have been exercising this winter in the gymnasium and looks to see some records broken. It has been decided by the committee to give a prize for the best all round man and not for team work. Washington Athletic Clab. An entertainment was given Thursday evening, Friday afternoon and Friday night for the benetit of the club's exchequer. A comedy, entitled “O'Poddle’s Dilgmma,” was performed and created considerable laughter. The cast was’ as follows: Septimus 0’ Poddle. -Wm, T. Frazier Charles Rocket. ..H. W. Weber Mr. Scollop.. Geo, M. Tysinger Hon. Lawrence McFinnegan....Perey Loud -Lea Vernon Ray Vernon Mamie Lee Quite a sum was realized, and the mem- bers are convinced that with the return of d times the club will be on a firm finan- cial foundation. No entries will be made in the intergym- nasium contest with the possible exception of the shot-putting. While all the members are green, some are quite heavy and strong- ly bulit, and would not be averse to try- Ing their luck with the iron. Bobby Akers expects to have his classes in working order by the time spring sets in. The basket ball followers are much encouraged at the recent showing of the team against Carroll Institute, when they were only defeated by the close score of 2 to 0. ¥. MC. AL ‘The boys’ class of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association will have their principal exhibition of the winter on Wednesday evening. The program comprises exercises on the buckboard, tumbling, parallel bars, herizental bars and class work with the dumbbells and Indian clubs. The class has over fifty members, and has been practic- ing for some time past. Harry Ward and Fred Sims are to wear the red triangle at the C. A. C. in the putting of the shot. Both Sims and Ward are stockily built and have had some’ ex- perience in that line. ‘A problem attracting the serious atten- tion of the authorities is the question of an athletic field. Instructor Sims has his eye on some good ball players, but will not be able to do anything until a field is secured. There are also some good tennis players in the Y. M. C. A., and they will be at a loss unless a ground is secured. Atlantic Park cost so much, however, to lay off and keep in condition that the asso- ciation is acting ‘vith due consideration in the matter. If a field 1s not secured by the latter part of March it means no base ball nine and probably no foot ball team next autumn. ¥. M. Catholic Club. With the close of the bowling season the athletes of the Catholic Club are con- fronting a situation similar to that of the Y. M. C, A. It is true they have a field, but it is not large enough for base ball or for foot ball. Then, again, if the pro- posed club house is erected in the su:n- mer, as there is some talk of doing, a large slice will be taken off the grounds. The building committee is seriously considering the advisability of breaking ground. Car- roll Institute has taken some of the mem- bers away and is even now asserting that her membership rofl will soon reach a thousand. During the month of March a series of lectures will be given for the benefit of the college base ball team. The list of dates, rranged by Manager Nelson, calls for nd large Sum of money to cover the traveling expenses, and for that reason the public is to be appealed to, as well as the liberality of the students, Lieut. Joe Oliver is slated for the cap- tainey of the Potomac Boat Club, in place of Frank lair, who has left for Florida. The Georgetown College nine will be out on the campus In a few days, If the present weether continues, TOURNAMENT. ND OF THE Conclusion of the District Bowling Contests. ‘The tournament of the District Am: teur Bowling League was brought to a close Saturday night at the Young Men's Catholic Club alleys. In this match the hume team had for its opponents the stur- dy South Washington bowlers, and the work of the two teams on this occasion THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. will rank with the best bowling contest of the tournament, Capt. Lansaale of the home team plays a rematkably strong and steady game. His triplet string netted him 521 pins, and he also made 178 pins for the highest in- dividual score of his team, For the Washingtons, Capt. Kidd did great bowling. He piled up 515 pins for his serial run, and he also piled up 216 pins in his second, ten frames, which is the best single run of-any player on away- from-home alleys in the tournament. The team totals for both sides are of a high rank. The last game was exciting in the extreme. It w a brilliant contest from every standpoint. ‘The scores in detail] are as follows: First Gam YMC. 8t.

The Champions. The bowlers of the Carroll Institute win the championship for 1895 and the hand- some Gorman bowling banner. The Columbia bowlers have captured every point in this tournament, except in games won and in team record on foreign alleys; here they were fatally weak. Harry Mason of the Columbias wins the individual championship and the Dove medal. To Dr. Geo. E. Ricker of the same team goes the honor of making 227 pins, the highest individual score in the tournament. Birney Locraft of the Carrolls wins the Parker-Bridget prize for making the great- est number of strikes (120) in the tourna- ment. As a whole, the records made in this tournament are fairly good. The last half of the season showed a marked improve- ment in every respect over the work of the first half. As for the future of this league, it is necessary to say only that great improve- ment should take place in the quality and condition of the alleys. The point of ex- perience has been reached where no alleys in the league should be objectionable om, account of solidity, smoothness and true- ness of surface and well Hghted. With al- leys up to such a standard there would be no good reason why a bowler shouid not do himself justice away from home and at home as for that matter. This being the finest of indcor athletic sports, it should be placed upon a high rank, and the way to make it so is to have all the appoint- ments ‘first-class. ‘fhere will be a meeting of the league to- morrow night at the Washington Athletic Club. A Bicycle Record Broken. Emil Ulbricht of Los Angeles broke the 2-mile indoor record (paced) at the bicycle tournament at San Francisco last week. He covered the distance in 1.05.17.

The Japanese tea given by them at the Red Cross headquar- ters, home of Miss Clara Barton, on Friday evening, added laurels to their already overburdened crown. The big: reception room: was strictly “United States,” with the stars and stripes draped over doors and windows and pictures. Here the receiving party stood to greet the guests, who thronged the house from 3 o'clock to mid- night. Mrs. Mussey, president of. the legion, and Miss Barton received the gue: as- ed by Mrs, Wisner,*Mrs, Pomeroy and Mrs, Jennings.

Ex-Secretary of State Joseph B, Carr died at his home in Tro; . Y., yesterday morning after an illness of long standing. though he was cenfined to his bed only about six weeks. A cancer, which had its inception in the cheek, and which later spread to the jaw and throat, was the cause of his death. For two weeks General Carr lay at the point of death, but his strong constitution fought away the rav- ages of disease until yesterday morning. Death came peacefully and the end was quiet. Major General Joseph B. Carr was born in Aibany in 1828, but passed almost his entire life in Troy after attaining man- hood. At the breaking out of the rebel- lion he took an active part in organizing ‘the second regiment, New York state vol- unteers, and was elected commander. Gen- eral Carr’s regiment was the first to en camp on Virginia soil. He early took part in General McClellan’s peninsula carapaign.

William E. Curtis, assistant secretary of the treasury, spoke about the recent bond issue at the monthly dinner of the Democratic club at New York Saturday night. After discussing the critical condi- tion of the treasury, which had been raid- ed so constantly that it was on the verge of being exhausted of its gold, Mr. Cur- tis said: s “The government was practically doing business on a gold bullion basis. Every penny of coin in the treasury was cov- ered by demand, and it was found im- bossible to exchange gold bullion for coin anywhere. Bankers all over the country were communicated with, but they would not say what they were doing or what they intended to do, and by this time all of the gold which had been realized by the November issue had disappeared. The pvo- ple of the United States alone had drawn out $13,000,000 in gold, not a cent of which had left the country. “Europe and other countries became con- vinced that the United States were going to do business on a silver basis in the fu- ture. Bankers in this country actually advised the banks and individuals on the vuther side not to buy any more exchanges on this country, and to unload their Amer- ican securities right away. Why, the Sec- retary of the Treasury received a letter from the secretary of the. treasury of the Argentine republic, in which he said that the banks of that country had been ad- vised in turn by the European bankers to stop dealing in American exchange. Just think of our position at this juncture! But how many people were aware of it? Very few, I can tell you. We saw that it would be necessary for somebody to act as agent for the United States in order to restore our credit abroad, and negotiations to this end were opened. The work might have been done much more expeditiously, but, unfortunately, Congress had never given the Secretary of the Treasury the neces- sary power, and so delays were inevitable. “We got no response to our overtures from the other side at first. They abso- lutely refused to have anything to do with our coin bonds, but the negotiations were kept up, and they finally agreed to take certain bonds at certain rates of interest. There was considerabie haggling for a time, but while the negotiations were on the Withdrawals of gold from the treas- ury suddenly stopped. A few days later, when it looked as though the negotiar tions would fall through, the withdrawals began again. Then we decided that there was bui one thing for to do, and that was to accept the offer from the other side, which we did, and since then there have been few withdrawals and absolutely no exportations of gold.” —————————EEE Old Davy of Yale Dead.

There ts one provision in the new police manual that is giving the police lieuten- ants some trouble, as well as causing un- easiness among the members of class one. This is the rule providing Zor the report of the records of the officers each week, and for a consolidated report at the end of each month, to be made by the superin- tendent to the Commissioners. Under this regulation, which was suggested by Com- missioner Truesdell, the weekly reports of the Heutenants show how many times an officer has been absent without leave, his personal appearance,the complaints against him, whether reprimanded, trials and their result, and whether or not the officer has lost any equipments. In conclusion, the lieutenant has to report whethe> the offi- cer is highly efficient, efficient or inefficient. What is causing the lieutenants more trou- ble than anything else is distinguishing be- tween efficient and highly efficient, and it is said that the efficiency of the lieuten- ants is to be judged from their reports. Under the rules an officer of the first class has to be rated as highly efficient for at least one year before he can get a pro- motion to the second class. This, the offi- cers fear, will make promotions scarce in the future. Heretofore, the length of serv- ice, merit being considered, governed pro- motions. Maj. Moore has made one report under these ruies, and his second report, which may be made next week, it is thought, will be an interesting one, especially to the members of the force.
