Ones, Indulgent moth- ers will find much to admire in the new Reefers and Capes for Chil- dren and Misscs, After having been “housed up" all the winter they should not be al- lowed to run out even on the Warmest spring days without be- A ing well wrapped Pup. There ought to be plenty of “Little Red Rid- ing Hoods’ this spring, for red is the prevailing fashion. I was looking at the new Coats and Capes for chil- dren at Me- Knew's, on the avenue, the other day, and I do not belleve more stun- ning garments: were ever designed for making pretty children prettier. Nearly all the Red Reefers have white braid and cord trimming, some showing lapels of contrasting colors, ‘There were a number of cun- ning ttle Coats in the soft spring shades .of cadet, tan, bluet and any quantity of “novelty” mixtures—some with eapes—straps at back, &c. Mr. McKnew surprised me when he stated that some of them were as low as, $1.75, while the prettiest were only $10. Nearly all of the stylish misses will wear capes this spring. ‘Theirs are Just as pretty as mamma's. I was particularly struck with nobby Covert Cloth Capes, with cross stripes, in such dainty combina- tions as cream and tan, tan aml brown, red and black, &e. All of these are Mned with changeable silk of a light, delicate tint. They cost nearly as much as mamma's, the range being $4 to $16.50. Speaking of mamma, I was shown a new line of the daintiest Capes that ever crossed the water, being richly embroidered and perforated, showing fancy Mning of a contrasting shade underneath. Some were covered with sequins, and there were any quantity of Velvet and Satin ‘“Novelty"* Capes, with lght changeable silk ining. Ladies of quiet tastes and those in mourning will find a wide range of Black Capes, cut after the latest fashion. The ladies of Washington need have no fear but that Mr. MeKnew will fully sustain his reputation for carrying the spring season's most charming novel- ties. A FASHION WRITER.

Emmons in the Harvard graduates’ magazine, “the colleges must begin its reformation immediately. The needed reforms must be conducted along these lines: Reduction of the excessive training, reduction of the notoriety, pub- icity and-expenditure, and elimination of the objectionable features of the game itself. . “The umpires and referee should be em- pewered to disqualify without appeal, while the referee is to decide exclusively all Questions relating to the ball. “The umpires should decide questions re- lating to the men, subject to the casting vete of the referee. One umpire should stand at the end of the rush line to watch off-side play, while the other stands be- hind those who have the ball in their pcssession to watch holding by the rushers in line or interference. “The results of experience and the proof: of statistics all go to show that injuries result very seldom from interference, most of them being caused by runners and tacklers meeting in the field. Regarding the “fair catch” Mr. Emmons proposes this rule: “A player who tries any catch on the fly attempts a ‘fair catch,’ and must not be interfered with or tackled. If the attempt is successful he is entitled to a free kick or a down on the spot, or he may pass the ball back immediately to any of his own side to rush or kick.” To low tackling and piling on he attrib- utes many of the injuries, and suggests that the rules against them be rigidly forced. For all tackling below the knees ‘enty-five yards should be given, and in case the tackling is deliberate the man should be dismissed from the field. As a remedy for brutality the penalty ee be immediate disqualification for ie game. “This disqualification should last for a year at least, unless revoked by the at! letic committees of two colleges. * * Of course no amount of ruling will do away with viciousness. That can only be done by the spirit of fair play instilled into the men by the captains and coaches.” There should be no delay longer than a minute for any cause whatsoever. Any player not recovering in that time should be ruled off the field and*not allowed to return. SOMETHING NEW IN WHIST. It Bids Fair to Become Popular in Soctal Circles, A novel departure from the old-fashion- ed game of whist, and one which bids fair to become popular, is being tested by a club of sixteen inembers, says the Balti- more American. The game is called compass whist, and owes its origin to the inventive genius of one or more members of the club. The main object is to eliminate the element of memory, which has become such a strong factor in the game of duplicate whist. Un- like duplicate whist, the same partners never play a hand but once. The players are divided into north, south, east and west. After a given number of hands are played, say three or four, they are passed on and played by another set of players. The north and south remain at the same tables the entire play, but the east and west move in the opposite direc- tion to the hands. At the call of tine, each north and south couple will have played with each east and west, and will also have played each north and south hand once. The north and south couples can score against each other, the object being to make the highest score on the same hands. Twenty-five hands are played each evening, and the best total average at the end of the series will win the tournament. FINE SPORT PROMISED. First-Class Horses to Be Seen at St. . Asaph’s. The spring meeting of the Virginia Jockey Club, which will begin on the 18th instant, promises to be a brilliant one In every par- ticular. The stables at St. Asaph are al- ready full to overflowing, and additional quarters for the horses yet to arrive will have to be constructed. Fifteen stakes will be run for during the meeting, the principal of which is the Virginia Handi- cap, at a mile and a furlong. It will be worth $1,000 to the winner. This event will be one of the best races ever seen in this vicinity, as it seems certain that among the contestants will be such high-class per- formers as Sir Walter, Song and Dance, Leonewell, Ed. Kearney, Roche, Dutch Skater, Lochinvar, Captain T., Leonardo, Galilee, Live Oak, Prig, Lifeboat, Play or Pay, Lightfoot, Sir Dixon, jr., and others. It will not be run until the meeting is well under way, having been set for May 6. The éntries are certain to be numerous and the quality high. Mr. Belmont’s horses will not leave Long Island, where they are being trained, until Thursday. There will be sixteen in the string. D. A. Honig’s stable of fourteen will ar- rive from St. Louis on Tuesday. The Oneck stable, with Sir Walter at the head, is alsc expected ort Tuesday. Nearly a thousand yards of sand from Cameron run have been spread over the St. Asaph track, and the horsemen now pronounce it one of the best tracks in the country. Last fall complaint was made that it was too hard. As there has been no winter racing in the vicinity of New York or Philadelphia, the turf delegations from those cities are expected to be unusually large; and as bookmaking is tabooed in New York state the penciling fraternity will journey to St. Asaph in force. Upward of 300 horses are now at the track, and nearly half that many more are located at Benning. Jockey Murphy Set Down. While but two favorites won at Alexan- der Island yesterday, it was about an even thing between the men behind the slates and the talent, a well-backed second choice and a largely played third choice taking first place, together with an outsider. The track was heavy, but the attendance was large and the racing fairly interesting. The rider of Walcott, Murphy, was set down indefinitely for his bad ride in the last race. The winners were: Trinculo, 8 to 5; Despair, 10 to 1; Thurston, 2 to 1; Syde, 9 to 5, and Brightwood, 4 to 1. London Athletes to Sail September 6. Mr. Parker, secretary of the London Ath- letic Club, said yesterday that a reply had been received from the New York Athletic Club, in which the latter agreed to the pro- posals in regard to the events to be con- tested, and confirmed the eleven events which the London club had named. The only detail now remaining is that of choos- ing the teams, which will require time, as new and better men may develop in the course of the summer. The London team will sall for New York on September 6 on the steamer Majestic. The games will take place on September 21. Harvard’s Base Ball Schedule. Harvard University has arranged the fol- lowing ball games: May 1, Williams at Cambridge; 4, Williams at Williamstown; 7, Brown at Cambridge; 13, University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia; 18 and 25, Brown at Providence; 27, Colgate at Cam- bridge; 30, Princeton at Cambridge; June 5, Brown at Cambridge; 8, University of Pennsylvania at Cambridge; 20, Yale at Cambridge; 25, Yale at New Haven; 29, Yale at New York, in case of tie. Favors a New League. President W. W. Kerr of the Pittsburg Base Ball Club says that he approves the idea of forming a new league by taking the clubs of Pittsburg, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Brook- lyn and Buffalo. He also favors a circuit including the western clubs of Chicago and Cincinnati. ‘The Reds Go South. The Cincinnati Base Ball Club leave to- day for Mobile. The party consists of Man- ager Bancroft, Capt. Ewing, Parrott, Phil- lips, Merritt, Gray, Holliday, Hogriever, Hoy, Miller and Forman. Chamberlain, Dailey, Latham, McPhee and Spies will join them at Mobile. Smith and Vaughan are not going south. Murphy has not yet signed. The New Leuisville Jockey Club. Charles F. Price, secretary of the new Leuisville Jockey Club, when seen regard- ing a story sent out from Cincinnati, to the Lserved in the effect that W. E."'Applegate and Mark Simonton had, through agents, secured con- trol of Oakley, Latonia and Churchill Downs, said: “I can’t answer for Oakley aud Latonia, but there fs nothing in the story so far as Louisville is concerned. When the old jockey club here assigned last August its improvements and other assets were bought’ at the assignees’ sale by a syndicate or company of five, since known and incorporated as the new Louis- ville Jockey Club. h of the incorpora- tors paid an equal unt into the club’s treasury, that is, 28 per cent. In other words, Mr. Applegate owns one-fifth of the Louisville track,no more, no less.” Promise to Hreak Records. EL PASO, Tex., March 8 — Manager Spogner and his alkAmerica team of bi- eycle racers have arrived in E] Paso from Mexico and gone into training at the El Paso cycling track for the bike tournament to open here March 14 and continue for five days. Manager Spooner and Trainer Frank Lyman say the El Paso track is the finest in the United States, and that will assist in breaking several records. The London Chess Match. NEW YORK, March 8—The results of the fifth and sixth games of the London chess match, together with the scores of these games, have arrived in this city. As Teichman had won four games to Mieses’ one, and one game drawn, he wins the match, A State Trotting Board. ALBANY, N. Y., March 8—The New York state trotting board has been in- corporated by the secretary of state. The objects of the corporaticn are the investi- gation, ascertaining and keeping a record of the pedigrees of horses, and of publish- ing a stud-book and the promoting and holding exhibitions of said horses. The directors are Lawrence Kip, New York; David Bonner, New York; Henry Hamlin, Buffalo; G. W. Archer, Rochester; Andrew Miller, H. M. Whitehead and Hamilton Busby of New York city. The Faculty Opposed. ITHACA, N. Y., March 8.—The game. be- tween Cornell and the New York Giants has been declared off, mainly because the faculty is opposed to ‘the team playing with professional clubs, except on the home grounds, and also because it was difficult to arrange a satisfactory date. Steam Yacht Race Arranged. NEW YORK, March 8—A match has been arranged between the owners of the Yankee Doodle and the Norwood for a race between these two flyers and as many steam yachts as may choose to enter. It is to be for the championship of the Hud- son river, and will take place during the ™month of May on a date to be fixed here- after. The boats will start at 125th street and run fifteen miles up the river, and turning at a stake boat finish at the start- ing point. —_—-__. EXPERIENCE OF THE FERN. Fire Burned Within a Few Feet of Large Quantities of Powder. The United States transport Fern, com- manded by Lieutenant Commander George A. Bicknel, which arrived at Boston late Wednesday afternoon from Newport, whence she haa ayrined from Philadelphia, went through the mogt thrilling experience before reaching pert.ai After sailing fromo Philadelphia, about one week ago, she éncountered large fields of ice and heavy seas, which disabled her so that she barely escaped foundering, and was considerably -delayed in making re- pairs. ! She made a brief stay at the torpedo sta- tion at Newport, leaving that port for Bos- ton on Tuesday nfght! When off Cape Cod fire broke out in the’cabin, and in-a few minutes the captain’s quarters were all in flames, alas Just beneath the cain, within a few feet of the fire, were stured 400 pounds of smoke- less powder. After hurd fighting the sea- men suppressed tHe ‘flames. Several of the frew were more or less burned.” But-none! surtered serfous injury. A heavy ‘sea was foiling and high wind blowing, which'madeé the work doubly hard, and the officers claim that but for the he- roism of the brave crew the ship would doubtless have been blown up and all on board of her lost. A report has been received at the Navy Department from Lieutenant Commander Bicknell that the fire originated in the overflow of the cabin lamp fastened to the paneling. Part of the lamp dropped to the floor, and the burning wick, dropping to the deck, set fire to the cabin furnish- ings. The amount of damage to the vess2] was slight, being confined to scorched paneling, but the cabin furniture was de- stroyed or damaged so as to require re- pairs. The fire lasted but ten minutes, and was soon put under control. It will not aay way affect the efficiency of the ves- sel. ————_e—____ SENATOR SHOUP WINS. The First Governor of the State of Idaho Returned to the Senate. Senator George L, Shoup was re-elected United States Senator on the first ballot at Boise, Idaho, yesterday, after a long deadlock, which nearly resulted in leaving the seat vacant. The vote was: Shoup, 27; Sweet, 12; Crook, 14; absent, 1; necessary to a choice, 27. * The election was brought by six of the Sweet men voting for him, and securing one populist absentee. If the populist had been present Senator Shoup would not have had a majority of the votes cast. The election was the result of twenty-five re- publican votes, two democratic, and one Populist absentee. After the first change to Shoup Repre- sentative Henry of Kootenai county made @ speech explaining his own vote, in which he directly charged that boodle had been used in the senatorial contest. This cre- ated a brief sensation, and the representa- tive stated that changes had been effected, as the result of bribery and corruption. ‘There was great excitement over the re- sult, crowds at the capitol shouting them- selves hoarse. : George L. Shoup was born in Armstrong county, Pa., in 1836, All the education that he received was that afforded at a village school. He settled on a farm near Gales- burg, Ilinois, in 1852, -but in 1856 went to Pike’s Peak in search of gold. He made a great mark in the Colorado Independent Scouts during the civil war, in fighting the Indians, ard retired from the service a colonel. He then went to Idaho, engaged in trade, territorial legislature, was a delegate in Congress and was made a territorial governor by President Harrison. He was clected the first governor of the state of Idaho. He was next chosen United States Senator, and a§$ governor signed his own credentials for,hig new cflice. ieee Had to Be: Watched. Daniel F. Coleman,‘.a tinner, who ts a victim of the morphine habit and who also indulges in a littl mg drink, was ar- rested last night gndilocked up at the po- lice station becav¥e his conduct at home had made life misgrable for other members of his family. He’takes the morphine, he says, because he has_the neuralgia of the stomach, and whed, he/drinks liquor he gets excited. His arrest last night was made on a charge that he jhad struck two of his children, and Officer Morgan, who made the arrest, had considf ue trouble with him. Last night while lacked up he caused the officers considerable: anxiety by pretending that he wanted to commit suicide. His first attempt was made in a novel way. He filled his hat with water from the closet and put his face in it in a pretended effort to drown himself. This action on his part did him no harm, and later he stuffed his hat in the bowl and flooded the place. Fol- lowing this he made a noose of his sus- penders and when he heard an officer com- ing suspended himself from the cross- beam and had to be cut down. This morn- ing the case was heard in the Police Court and he was put under his personal bonds. ———————— Died From His Injuries. Henry B. Arnold, colored, the actor who on February 28 was burned in the Colum- bus Theater, New York, during the per- formance of “On the Mississippi,” has died from his injuries. Arnold was unmarried. He was twenty-four years old and lived in this city. —-—_ Ripans for constipation, 50c. box, druggists. —Advertisement. , THE INCOME TAX. Arguments Against Its Constitutional- ity in the Supreme Court. Arguments were commenced in the Unit- ed States Supreme Court late yesterday afternoon upon the cases brought to test the constitutionality of the income tax law. Mr. W. D. Guthrie, one of the counsel for the appellants,first addressed the court in opposition to the tax. He devoted him- self to a review of the grounds upon which the appeal had been taken, and attempted to show the unconstitutionality of the in- come tax law because of its discrimina- tions in favor of individuals and certain corporations. Mr. Guthrie outlined the argument pro- posed to be made by the counscl for the appellants, and had not concluded when the court, at 4 o'clock, adjourned for the day. He stated that they would depend principally upon showing that the present income tax Jaw is unconstitutional be- cause of its want of uniformity, and quot- ed at length from the provisions of the law to show that the tax is not uniform, contending that Congress had.no right un- der the Constitution to levy a tax, duty, excise or import which was variable or lacking in uniformity as to individuals cr corporations, because it was the funda- mental rules that burdens in these respects should be equally upon all alike. Mr. Guthrie asserted that the provisions of the law exempting all incomes under $4,000 would cause it to fall upon less than 2 per cent of the population of the United States, and the law was, therefore, class legislation. He also showed that the tax was not uniform as regards corporations, of which a favored class were exempted, as, for instance, mutual insurance compa- nies and building associations, as well as partnerships and religious and benevolent institutions, ; 7 As illustrative of the effect of the opera- tion of the law, he pointed out that an in- dividual owning real estate bringing an in- come of $8,000 would pay $80 tax, while a corporation would be required to pay dou- ble that amount. He also instanced the case of a partnership of five persons doing @ business amounting to $20,000 a year, which would be required to pay no tax, while a corporation composed of the same persons would be compelled to pay $400. In a word, he sald, the application of the law would vary according to ownership. ——____+ e+ —____ Funeral of Mrs. Cathnrine A. Clarke. The funeral of Mrs. Catharine A. Clarke took place from St. Patrick’s Church yes- terday morning, and was largely attended. Father McGee. celebrated high mass, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Father Maynadier. The orphans of St Vincent’s and St. Joseph’s, of which Mrs. Clarke was a benefactor, were present. The floral emblems were many and beautiful. The pallbearers were Commissioner J. W. Ross, Judges C. C. Cole, Thos. F. Miller, Rudolph Eichorn, Jno. T. Chancey and J. W. Pilling. The interment was at Mt. Olivet. —_—_.—_—_ Was a Missionary. Emanuel Madison and Richard Robinson, colored men, figured in a Police Court case today, the former being charged with an assault on the latter. During the trial it was shown that Robinson is separated from his wife, and in the house where he lives are several females. This, the judge sus- pected, caused the trouble, and Madison ve icions. the judge asked ‘I'm 2 missionary,” he answered. “Missionary among men or women?” asked the court. To this there was no response, and the charge against Madison was dismissed. ——.___ The First Banquet. The first banquet of the Alumni Asso- elation of the Washington High School of the seventh and eighth divisions was held last evening In the colored High School building. Mr. Robert H. Terrell acted as toastmaster, and responses to toasts and addresses were made by F. L. Cardozo, jr., John E. Syphax, Alphonso O, Stafford, Miss Mabel Ruby, William H. Cowan, Mrs. J. M. Layton, Mtss Clara Smythe, Ellis Browne, Alfred Lewis, J. M. Fraction, F. D, Smith, Prof. W. S. Montgomery, Dr. J. H. H. Waring and Prof. F. L. Cardozo. ————— Budly Injured. James Gordon, a colored laborer, who lives at 6 Fenwick place, while assisting in unloading bricks last evening south of the Washington monument was buried un- der a load and badly injured. He was treated at the Emergency Hospital and later removed to his home. ——>— The Trial of Capt. Goodman. In the second trial of Capt. Goodman, for killing Col. Parsons of Charlottesville, Va., the foliowing jury has been chosen: J. P. Ballard, William B. Bibb, Pace Chapman, Thomas Wyant, Emmet Brown, John 8. Hopkins, C. T. Edwards, L. B. Bailey, Will- iam Z, Cattleron, R. A. H. Foster and 8. E. Pugh. The priscner came into court ac- companied by his wife and three children. The first witness was J. E. Martin, hotel clerk at the Gladys Inn, who testitied sub- stantially as in the former trial. He had not concluded his testimony when court adjourned. Much time was consumed in reading Martin’s previous testimony. Henry Moody's testimony was essentially like that on the first trial. He Was the head waiter and witnessed the shooting from a door. Dr. Miller was examined with reference to the four wounds, one in the head, one in the right shoulder and two in the abdo- men. The one in the head produced death. The first witness yesterday was Ed. Brown, colored porter at Gladys Inn, who said he saw no pistol on Col. Parsons. Several witnesses were introduced to iden- tify the pistol, but Mr. Parrish said Capt. Goodman would save the commonwealth that trouble. Undertaker Staley found no weapon of any kind on Parsons. Dr. Miller testified Parsons had a knife. Henry Burke and P. L. Wilson testified to Goodman's inquiring for Parsons at Natural Bridge. A new witness, Mr. W. E. Allen, common- wealth’s attorney of Alleghany, was put on the stand to establish a chain of evidence as to the unarmed condition of Parsons. Col. A. C. Bryant, station master at Clifton Forge, testified, as before, that after the shooting Goodman said he took Parsons by the collar and gave him all he had. Cumulative evidence was given to show that Goodman killed an unarmed man. The defense put Capt. Pettus on the stand to relate the account which Goodman had given him of the killing a few minutes after its occurrence. The prosecution ob- jected that this narrative was not res gestae, and inadmissable. The jury was removed while the point was being argued. Judge White reserved decision, and the court was adjourned. American Cloth in England. Anomalous as it may appear, American cloth is being sold in the English markets, and right in the center of the English cloth manufacturing distriéts. United States Consul Meeker, who has reported the fact to the State Department, states that a rep- resentative of an American house has been buying English cloth in England, and has at the same time been selling American cloth there. The American cloth is woolen stuff, suitable for coatings and men’s suit- ings, selling at from 50 to 60 cents per yard. ‘The English merchants pronounce it to be superior cloth for the grade, made of short wool, and cannot see how it can be pro- duced and sold for the price. ‘ Pas oo The woman who is tired, and has hea -down sensations, pain in the bac! should take warning in time. favorite Prescription is the best tonic and nervine at this time.

About John Morgan's Brother Tells the Celebrated Escape. Captain Charlton H. Morgan, brother of General John Morgan, who, with his other brother, R. C. Morgan, was in the Ohio penitentiary up te the time of the gen- era?s escape, when shown Rodebaugh’s statement about Secretary Stanton’s con- nivance, telegraphed to Wednesday's Star, said: “That story is impossible; there were several of Morgan’s men in the peni- tentiary—thirty-five in single cells on the first floor and the same number on the floor above. Brother Dick had a cell on the first floor and the general on the sec- ond floor. A tunnel was made with knives stolen from the tables; a hole was cut under the cot of Captain Thomas H. Hines’ room on the first floor and sunk to the arched tunnel running under all of the first floor cells. The bricks and mortar under seven cells were removed, leaving a thin crust of cement under each cell cot. A tunnel was then made crossing beneath the corridor, coming out in the jail yard. On the night of the escape as they came from supper Brother Dick changed cells with the general unnoticed by the guard. When all were ready the seven who es- caped broke the crust of cement in the cells, dropped into the tunnel, came out in the yard, scaled the fence over each other’s backs, using roped bed clothes to drop on the other side. Each of the seven left a dummy on the cot of the cell. The escape was first discovered by some one seeing a rope on the wall. It was thought at first that state convicts had esca) ped. They were called out, the roll called they found there. rch A hurried search [f NEW CIVIL SERVICE RULES. Some Approved by the President De- fore He Left. Before his departure on the Violet the President approved several amendments to the civil service rules. These amendments are largely formal, and were made neces- sary in consequence of the recent exten- sion of the classification in the departmen- tal service to include messengers, assist- ant messengers and watchmen and the classification of the internal revenue ser- vice. One of the amendments gives the commission authority, in its discretion, to reject the application cr to refuse the cer- tification of an applicant who has been gullty of crime or of infamous or of moto- rious, disgraceful conduct. Prior to this amendment the’ commission only had the power with reference to certifications in such cases. Age limitations have been prescribed for the new classes brought within the classi- fied service by the recent extension: These limits are for messenger or assistant mes- senger, not under eighteen; for page or messenger boy, not under fourteen nor over eighteen years of age. A further amend- ment provides for transfers from the inter- nal revenue service in the Treasury De- partment in which business relating to the internal revenue is transacted and from such a bureau to the internal revenue ser- vice, this amendment being in all respects similar to the provision now existing with reference to transfers from the customs service to the Treasury Department and from the department to the customs ser- vice.
