SPRING FASHIONS! Perfect ‘‘Dreams” of Capes, Etc. Society folks are spending thelr Lenten days planning for spring and summer. { met one of these Devotees the otber day, and almost the first thing she said to me was, “Oh, have you seen the lovely capes at MeKnew's, on the avenue? They are Just too lovely for anything.” Naturally I hied myself there and was fully repaid for the trouble, for the new spring styles are perfectly beautiful. They have a superb line of Jetted Vel- . Yet Capes, and I sketched one of them for The Star's readers. I was also shown the new Spring Box Ceats; the new Silk Walsts and a number of pring Suits. Let me give you a pointer. cKnew keeps nearly all the high-class nov- elties in a glass case out of the way of prying eyes and only shows them when you persist in seeing “something else," so keep on looking until you fiud Just what you want!

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Railroad Men Were Startled by a Volley of Stones. Religious and Other Movements Among Citizens Told in Brief Para- graphs—Of General Interest. The Right Rev. Henry C. Potter, D.D., LL.D., D.C.L., delivered an interesting lec- ture, this being the third of the Reinacker foundation at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of Virginia, near this city, at noon today. This seminary is his alma mater, and many of the clergy and laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church availed themselves of the opportunity to hear the bishop of New York. Whittle Hall was packed to the doors, and the address was, to say the least, much enjoyed by all pres- ent. The good people of Alexandria will have an opportunity of hearing the bishop to- night, as he will, by spectal request, deliver an address before the members of the Brotherhood of St.Andrew at Christ Church at 7:30 o’clock, to which the public gener- ally are invited. As this is really a men’s ae ae they are urgently requested to at- ni Badly Scared. The mail clerks arriving here on Southern railway vestibule train No. 38 this morning report being badly scared near High Point, N. C., last night. As the train was ap- proaching High Point some persons un- known threw stones and shot pistols at the train, almost completely demolishing the mail car door and shattering the glass in the windows of the Pullman and other coaches. Mr. Weston H. Atkinson of this city, who was in the mail car, told The Star reporter that his first impresston was that it was an attack by train robbers, and he fell to the floor, as if shot, being struck by the flying glass. No one was hurt, however. United States detectives will be sent to the scene today to investigate the matter. This is the second time recently that a train on the Southern railway has been stoned at this point. - Fire During the Night. Shortly after midnight last night the gro- cery store of Mr. R. W. Davis, on the cor- ner of Duke ond Henry streets, was found to be on fire by Mr. Crump, the watchman at the Richmond and Danville depot. An alarm was turned in and the fire depart- ment responded promptly, though the en- gines did not go into service, as the railway employes got the flames under control. ‘Ihe fire seems to have started in one of the bins and the origin is not known. A lot of corporation wood tickets, on which Mr. Davis had supplied wood, were burned up. The loss will not amount to over $500, but is not covered by insurance. The Tuylor Funeral. A large number of relatives and friends of the late Charles Sinclair Taylor, an ac- count of whose death was published in The Star, assembled at the residence of Mr. Julian T. Burke, on the corner of Colum- bus and Prince streets, this morning to pay their last respects to the memory of the deceased. The beautiful and impres- sive service of the Episcopal Church was conducted by Rev. P. P. Phillips of St. (Paul's Churcty The following nephews and grand nephews acted as pall-bearers: Wm. H. Fowle Beckham, John Dainger- field Hooe, J. Daingerfield Brookes, Richard Blackburn, Reverdy J. Daingerfield and Edward L. Daingerfield. The remains were interred privately by the side of his wife in Christ Church cemetery.

That will set you right and keep you right, {f you'ro inclined to be bilious or dyspzptic or constipated. People wonder, sometimes, why it is that the Carlsbad treatment, the world’s remedy for habit- ual constipation, should be recommended for diarrhoea and such discrders, too. Simply, because it leads the stomach and bowels naturally into a healthy condition, whatever their derangements— it doesn’t accomplish its results by harmful irri- tation, as most pills and purgatives do. Beware of imitations sold as “improved” or “artificial” Carlsbad Salt. The only genuine Carlsbad Salt, with all the properties of the Sprudel Spring solidifed, has the seal of the city of Carlsbad and the signature of “EISNER & MENDELSON CO., Agents, New York,’* cn every buttle.

Rev. Wayland Johnson SAYS OF CEREBRINE: “I have been using Cerebrine two weeks, with the most excellent results. I was in a state of nervous prostration that utterly unfitted me for any continued mental work. From the first dose I experiencedaa renewed intelicctual grasp and power and clearness and Joy in mental work that Y bad not known for years. Under the influence of an or- dinary stimulant I felt a highly exalted state of body ‘and mind, but the activity was feverish and eccentric, while the effect of the Cercbrine is to give a sense of cool, satisfied, self-controlied men- tal acd physical energy."’ Sincerely suse % bi way JOHNSON, Pastor First Baptist Church. The phystological effects produced by a single dose of CEREBRINE are acceleration of the pulse with a feeling of fullness and distention in the head, exhilaration of spirits, increased urinary excretion, gustmentation of the expulsive force of the bladder and peristaltic action of the Intestines, inereese in muscular strength and endurance, in- creased power of vision in elderly people, and in- creased appetite and digestive power.

Epworth League Oratorical Contest Decided Last Night. The second annual contest of the Ep- worth League Oratorical Association of the District of Columbia attracted an interest- ed, enthusiastic audience last evening that filled to sardine intensity every pew in spacious Hamline Church. The association is made up of the organizations of Foun- dry, Waugh, Douglas, Hamline, McKen- dree and Metropolitan churches, and all, with the exception of McKendree, were represented in the spirited strife for honor and a prize, in the shape of a handsomely bound and printed Sunday school teacher’s Bible. The exercises of the evening opened with an organ voluntary by Prof. Otis D. Swett, after which Rev. E. S. Todd, the pastor of Hamline Church, led in prayer. Then Mr. Harry O. Hines, the president of the as- sociation, mounted the platform and, in a short introductory speech, explained the objects of the organization and welcomed the audience. He introduced the first con- testant, Mr. Seth E. Tracy of Foundry Church, whose subject was “Echoes.” Mr. ‘Tracy expressed the hope that we may never live less nobly than our higher capa- bilities warrant, and, among other things, said that what we say is transmitted in echoes that never cease. Mr. Tracy’s com- position and delivery proved highiy pleas- ing, for he was roundly applauded. “Success Means Sacrifice’ was the sub- ject expatiated upon by Miss Duanna E. Mitchell of Waugh Church, and she de- clared that in striving to imitate the di- vine example all worldly pleasures must be sacrificed. It was evident that the speaker had friends in the audience from the ovation she received. Prof. John O. Russell rendered a guitar solo and was forced to respond to an encores after which the next contestant, Mr. C. M. Lacey Sites ef Metropolitan Church, was introduced. In speaking on “Wanted, Power,’ Mr. Sites said that if the nation has a mission to mankind, faith alone can equip her for the work and guide her to a glorious des- tiny. Miss Amy L. May of Douglas Church told in an unusually ‘nteresting manner of “The Progress of Woman,” the contest being concluded with a carefully prepared speech on “Confirmation,” by Mark A. Watson of Hamline Church. The judges were: On thougnt and corapo- sition, Bishop John F. Hurst, Mrs. Mark W. Harrington and Mr. Geo. H. Harries; cn delivery, Rev. J. E. Rankin, Rev. Fi D. Power and Mrs. J. Ellen Foster. While a decision was being reached Prof. Kussell played “In Old Madrid” as a guitar solo, in a manner that elicited a determined encore. Rev. J. E. Rankin, on behalf of the judges, made the award. He congratulated all the speakers on their work and took occasion to remark that a Bible was espe- cially suitable for a prize in such a con- test, as the Bible has inspired more elo- quence than any other known book. The speaker announced that Mr. C. M. Lacey Sites was entitled to the prize, while Miss Amy L May had proven herself worthy of honorable mention. When the applause subsided the gathering was dismissed with prayer and the second annual friendly strife of the association had been waged to an end. ——————— Poultry Fanciers. At a meeting of Washington and Balti- more poultry fanciers, held in Baltimore yesterday, an organization was formed of the people from the two cities, under the name of the Maryland and District of Co- lumbia Poultry and Pigeon Association. It is said that by this union the association becomes the strongest body of poultry fanciers in the country. The association will have annual poultry shows alternately in Baltimore and Wash- ington. It was decided to have the show in Washington next year from January 9 to 16. The American Poultry Association will be invited to hold its annual meeting in Washington during the show. Boston and New York associations have agreed to arrange non-conflicting dates with the Maryland and District association. This will give the home association the ad- vantage of drawing exhibitors from all over the country. The new members from Washington include Miss Mary Scott Townsend, Wm. R. Bouis, Richard Keyworth, J. Baxter, Howell Stewart, W. H. Taylor, Blair Domer, Prof. A. Schroeder, Charles N. Evans, Dr. W. W. Evans, Wm. George Lee, H. A. Numson, Charles E. West, Al- fred G. Masius, Richard Smith, Vincent Patroli, Rudolph Thiele, Geo. E. Howard, J. T. Bartlett, A. D. Bailey, C. G. Gordon, J. M. Dailey, Ed. S. Schmidt, J. W. Doug- las, Prof. Nelson R. Wood, Dr. W. J. Eistum, R. S. Boswell, Samuel E. Babbett, Dr. R. H. Evans, W. H. Rees, J. E. Buck- ingham, jy., Ashley M. Gould, Henry F. Smith and John W. Smoot. —_—._—_ The W. ©. T. and Narcotics. Mrs, Hellen L. Bullock, national superin- tendent of the department of narcotic: and an organizer of the National W. C. T. U., will make an address in the vestry of Foundry M. BE. Church tomorrow at 2 p.m. Mrs. Bullock has done very effective work in various states in securing the passage of anti-cigarette laws, prohibiting the sale of tobacco in any form to minors under sixteen years of age. Mrs. Bullock is also one of Miss Frances E. Willard’s most effective coadjutors in the department of organization. —_———.—__ Copyright Law Amendment. Among the laws enacted during the clos- ing hours of Congress was one amending the copyright law in an important particu- lar. It relates to that provision which fines violaters of the law protecting copy- rights $1 for each copy of an infringement found in their possession. Heretofore news- paper publishers might be mulcted to enor- mous sums, according to the circulation of their journals, and not infrequently it has happened that the law is violated inad- vertently, thus making the penalty exces- sively harsh and severe. By the new law the penalty is limited between the sums of $100 and 35,000 for photographs or other objects not works of fine art, and between $250 and $10,000 for infringements of copy- righted paintings or statues. LATE SPQRTING NEWS ctosep ‘up ris season. Declaring the Results of the Bowling ‘Tournament. The District. Amateur Bowling League met at the Carrol Institute last night and closed up its business for the season. The Tesults were officially declared. The hand- some bowling bannersrdonated by Mr. Thomas A. Gorman, to.e presented to the team winning the championship of the league for 1895, was. awarded to the team of the Carroll Institute, The other prizes, as heretofore stated in,The Star, went as fcilows: The Dove medal to Harry B. Ma- son of the Columbia .athletic Club, for making the best individual average (156 44-48) in the tournament; the Parker- Bridget prize, to Bernard Locraft of the Carrcll Institute for making the greatest number of strikes (121) in the tournament, and the Tappan prize, to James J. O'Con- nor of the Young Men’s Catholic Club fer the greatest number of spares (200) in the tournament. The number of strikes and spares made and. the number of ping bowled over by each team is given low, except the strikes and spares made by the Buena Vistas, which could not be obtained, as their score book had been misplaced: Total Strikes.

QUARTERED AT ST. ASAPH’S. Several Hundred Horses Getting Ready at the “Junction.” There are several hundred head of horses now quartered at St. Asaph, Va., getting their final preparation for the meeting, which will begin a week from next Mon- day. The stables of Messrs. Miller, A. Lakeland and Chandler, which have win- tered at Brighton Beach, have been shipped and James McLaughlin's horses will go down scme day this week. Father Bill Daly has been on the battle ground for a couple of weeks now and has been send- ing his horses along in earnest. Jack Ben- nett’s string, J. Bodan’s, W. B. Jennings’ and thoze of other owners are ready for the word. The track is said to be better than it was at any time last fall. Sev- eral hundred loads of sand have heen spread over its surface and it is now both safe and fast. The horses quartered there are getting stiff work in preparation for the meeting. John McCafferty has ar- rived from Providence with a string of twenty-six head that will be ready to race shortly. Among the other arrivals within the past few days are*M..

The regular mpnthly meeting of the Na- tional Steeplechase Asspciation was held yesterday at New York, A set of rules was adopted. The committes on by-laws pre- sented its report, which’ was also adopted. One of the featares of the by-laws is the following: ‘The. funds) of. the association shall be devotedisclely :to the purposes for which the association ‘was incorporated, and no part thereof shall at any time be di- vided among its, members, and in case of @ dissolution of ‘the association they shall be devoted to such uses’for the purpose of improving the breed of horses as the stew- ards shall determine.” The secretary reported that the entries received up to date for the handicaps, which closed March 1, numbered, steeple- chases, 31; hurdle races, 87. It was likely that several of the latter would be thrown out as disqualified under the ruling of the Jockey Club. In the election for members the following were proposed and elected: J. J. Astor, J. J. Rupper, jr., Cornelius Vanderbilt, “H. McK. Twombley, Stanford White, H. A. Buck, H. L. Herbert, A. Newbold Morris, C. Oliver Iselin, 8, Howland Robbins, R- Peters, Richard Carman, Ogden Mills, Thomas A. Maitland of New York, Col. Ed- ward Morrell, Clement A. Griscom and Harrison K. Ganer of Philadelphia, Charles B. McDonald of Chicago and Jesse Brown of Washington, making a total of 105 mem- bers of the association. The stewards took action looking toward the laying out of a course at Morris Park, and appointed H. J. Morris, the gentleman steeplechase rider, inspector of steeple- chase courses. The Allentown Team. Every member of the Allentown club has been signed. The team includes George Wood, Ted Larkin, John Milligan, Cos- tello and Sweeny of last year’s team, Wei- kart, Moran, Dwyer, Dobbins, Bakely, Hodges, Mayer and Hallowell. The. last four named are pitchers. The players have been notified to report at Allentown on April 1, and between that day and April 6 the season will open. “Senators” Begin Practice. The Washington base ball club arrived at Charleston, 8. C., late Sunday night and played its first practice game yester- day afternoon, The “Pirates” Go to Little Rock. The St. Louis Browns left St. Louis lest night for Little Rock, to begin the south- ern practice trip. Today they will open at Little Rock. Manager Buckenberger is still dickering with Peitz, Clarkson and Brown, Southern Base Ball Association. The Southern Association of Base Ball Clubs has been in session at Nashville. Each club deposited the $1,000 guarantee to play the season out. The Spalding ball was adopted by a close vote. As required by the schedule, the clubs will cover during the season the following number of miles each: Nashville, 5,843; Evansville, 5,909; Chattanooga, 5,707; At- lanta,- 6,154; Montgomery, 5,903; jew Orleans, 6,503; Memphis,,6,312; Little Rock, 7,001.

A sensation wag caufigd at Indianapolis yesterday afterngon, when it was dis- covered that the’ énrollé4 bill prepared by Gov.

However, it did not have such effect, as the bill had not then been signed, and all that was necessary was to enroll the bill again and present it to Governor Matthews, who promptly signed it, and it is now a law. Oklahoma “Sports” Excited. The bill legalizing prize fighting, which has a fair chance of becoming a law in Oklahoma, has caused a sensation at Perry, Oklahoma, among sporting people. A’ purse will be offered for Corbett and Fitzsimmons to fight in Perry, if the bill becomes a law. The church people are op- posing the bill, and the friends of Gov. Renfrow say he will veto it. “Young Griffo” Bests Leeds. “Young Griffo,” the Australian, made a mark of Horace Leeds before the Sea Side Athletic Club of Coney Island last night. In the opinion of old ring goers “Griffo” is the greatest master of self-defense that the world has ever seen, and, if he had but a little bit of hitting ability, there would be nobody in his class. No man, not excepting Corbett, works tricks of the trade to such an extent as he does. In ducking, guard- ing, side stepping and countering he seems to be equally at home, and the. beauty of it all is that his opponent doesn’t know what to look for next. He was given the fight in the twelfth round. Two Favorites Won. But two favorites won at Alexander Is- land yesterday, two outsiders and a second choice capturing the other events. The at- tendance was somewhat larger, many of the New York contingent being on hand. The, number of bookmakers was small, however, but eight of the knights of the chalk starting in the contest for the dimes and dollars. They finished far ahead of the talent, however, winning with ease. Little Willie Ham, on Clansman, gave one of those peculiar rides of his, much to the disgust of those who had backed his mount, the 9 to 10 favorite. The track was heavy and the winners were: Glenall, 10 to 1; W. O'Brien, 20 to 1; Walcott, 1 to 3; Paragon, 4 to 1, and Gonzales, 6 to 5. Standard for AthJjetes.

A senate bill authorizing pool selling and book making on face courses during the racing season, and prohibiting the same at all other places, under heavy penalties, mysteriously disappeared yesterday while in transit {rom the Missouri senate to the house. In the senate it was openly charged by several senators that the bill was stolen in the interest of the pool rooms of St. Louis and Kansas City. License to Ride. The chief subject under consideration at the meeting of the jockey club in New York yesterday afternoon was the report presented by Dr. Gideon Knapp, on the Proposed revision of the rules of racing. The report, after amending a number of rules, suggests the advisability of a new rule as follows: “An apprentice lcense for boys never having ridden in a race may be granted upon the application of an own- er or trainer. A boy having ridden ten races under such license must make appli- cation for a jockey’s license. While hold- ing an apprentice license, no boy shall be permitted to ride, except for his employer. The fee for an apprentice Ucense shall be 0." : It was at length decided to défer action on the proposed revision, and in all prob- ability nothing will be done in the mat- ter of the new rules till the regular meet- ing in April. Bolero Sold for $1,000. J. W. C. Daly sold the chestnut horse Bolero, by Rayon D'Or, out of All Hands Round, to W. 8. Simpson of Palmer, Il, a few days ago for $1,000. Bolero was bred by the late Congressman William L. Scott of Erie, Pa. On Mr. Scott’s death he was bought by P. J. Dwyer for $35,000. He was a great failure as a race horse, for, while possessing remarkable speed, he could cut it as quickly as any horse in Good for everybody! Sold only in 2 Ib. Packages.
