One Says That Legal Rights of Others Will Be Considered—The Local View of It. The citizens of Kensington have still something more to say on the subject of the protest made against the proposal to sewer that town into Reck creek. Mr. M. Dorian, a Kensingtonian, writes to The Star as follows: “That everybody reads The ‘Star is an accepted truth—an axiom. The village of Kensington is not behind the times in any- thing, and, consequently, The Star is read by every person there, and the serles of articles relative to the proposed sewer have excited great interest, and some critic on the ground of unfairness. For this rea- son I ask space in your columns for a few words in defense of our position. To one unacquainted with the facts The Star's articles, and especially its editorial of Tues- day evening, would convey the impression that this wide-awake community was a thoroughly selfish one, and was seeking to benefit itself at the expense of the rest of humanity, and Washington humanity in particular. This is very far from the truth. Kensington, as you, Mr. Editor, very well know, is a beautiful and progressive vil- lage.’ We have an electric street car line, street lamps, boardwalks, a printing pftice, a newspaper, stores, churches, public school, and what Washington has not, but ought to have, a free library, and it is a model, and is named after # valiant champion of free libraries—Crosby S. Noyes. The vil- lage seeks further improvements, and this sewer is one of them, but it does not seck it at the expense of some other community. What it cannot obtain lawfully and right- fully it will do without or find’a substitute for. The committee which was appointed by the mayor was not a committee to build a sewer, but one to investigate and report upon the best plan to adopt, and especially as to the feasibility of utilizing Rock creek. The committee has not yet reported, and, in the meantime, Kensington is entitled to @ suspension of judgment, and The Star should be wililng to grant it. Of course, if the committee should report in favor’ of utilizing Rock creek The Star can renew its warfare, but I feel it would be unfair not to say in advance that if such a report is made, in my judgment, based upon my knowledge of the people of Kensington, the report will be adopted, even if we have to buy the city of Washington and Rock Creek Park to enable us to put the plan in operation. It will be a big thing for Was! ington, and The Star ought not to obstacles in the way of its c: Legal Rights to Be Considered. A member of the ‘council’ writes from Kensington as follows: “The question of constructing a sewer from Kensington to have its outlet in Rock creek has been quite freely discussed in your editorial and news column It would appear to be not out of place to say something here as to the origin of the proposition and the conditions which cali- t forth. The mayor nd council in the course of their duties felt called upon to consider the subject of sewage disposal, in order that the high degree cf healthfulness now ex- isting at Ke ngton shall not be preju- diced by unsanitary conditions. ‘To the erd that action by the council might be taken advisedly and __ intelligent! the mayor, by resclution of the councll, invited the citizens of Kensington to meet and disc’ the matter with them. The meet- ing was held and numerous sugg to the course to be pur among them the suggestion which has ap- rently met with the disfavor of The tar and of District officials, including the Kock Creek Park commission. The pro- posed sewer would have its outlet in Rock creek, a mile distant from Kensington, at @ point eight miles from Washington and four miles above the northern limits of Rock Creek Park. But this was only one of several views submitted. Others con- templated destroying all sewer deposits by chemical proce etc. The result of the discussion was by the mayor Matter and report its conclusions and recommendations to the council within two veeks. This committee has not as yet re- ported. Whatever its re the coun: stions us ued were offered, the appointment of a committee to investigate the may be the nature of 1 will feel constrained to pi to a final determina- tion, vhich the healthful- ness of Kensington shall be considered a factor of first importance; but, assurediy, no action will be taken which will not stand the test of a review by the courts. The views expressed as to the legal and sanitary aspect of the matter, from the District standpoint, through the medium of your columns by Commissioner Powell, G Casey, and m of the Rock Creek Park commiss ile entitled to respectful consideration by re standing of those gentlemen spective profes. parte opiniot on of the their re- in ter all mere ex ill not preclude a care- ful inquiry into the feasibility of the pro- posed sewer, in connection with the general subject. Yet, in no event would the coun- cil act without a complete understanding of the legai rights both of Kensington and of the District. The people of Kensington are enterprising and progressive, and, as evidenced by the sentiment of the meeting referred to, will not be content with con- ditions which exist at many places having a much larger population and greater re- sources.” _———— Army Orders. By direction of the Secretary of War Capt. William N. Tisdall, first infantry, now on leave of absence, will proceed to his home to await retirement. On his ar- rival there he will report by letter to the adjutant general of the army. The travel enjoined is necessary for the public service. Special order of February 5, granting Second Lieut. Samuel B. Arnold, first cav- twenty days’ extension of leave of absence is revoked. ‘The leave of absence granted Capt. The- ophilus W. Morrison, sixteenth infantry, led three months. The following transfers in the second In- fantry are ordered: First Lieut. Charles W. Rowell, from company K to company A. First Lieut. Michael J. Lenihan, from company A to company K. The leave of absence granted Lieut. Col. Daniel W. Benham, seventh infantry, is extended two months on account of sick- ness. The leave of absence granted First Lieut. Alexander S. Porier, istant surgeon, is extended four months on account of sickness. Pate A Conference. A conference of the committee on ana- lytical and agricultural chemistry of the state Loard of agriculture of Virginia with Milton Whitney, chief of the division of soil investigation of the Department of Ag- riculture, was held at the department yes terday afternoon. The committee comprised S. Wellford Corbin, Maj. R. V. Gaines and ex-Senator Absalom Kainer. The object of the meeting was to discuss the question of putting into operation a plan for making soil tests in Virginia already adopted by the state board. It is probable that Mr. Whitney will visit Richmond to grant a further hearing to the committee in relation to the matter in the near future. + 2._____ Army Officers May Wear an Eagle. The probabilities are t in the near fu- ture the officers of the United States army will take on another designation of rank in the shape of a metallic eagle to be worn on the front of their hats. The question is under advisement among the head officials of the War Department, and it is under- stood that the project is very favorably re- garded by many of them. Some of the army officers are urging it on the ground that in European countries the offi wear on their hats the colors of their s They hold that it is a plain and ereigns. unmistakable evidence of nationality as well as of rank and tary service, and that as the eagle is the national Ame emblem it can be adopted to the bene! the service. 4 The Robinsons’ Crime Imitated.

Members of the Salvation Army Wed- ded at Cincinnatt. The first wedding in which the officiating minister was @ woman occurred at Cincin- nati last night. Mrs. Ballingion Booth of the Salvation Army was the minister. The bride and bridegroom were Licut. Alice Talbott of Cleveland and Adjutant Joseph Hargreaves of Cincinnati, both of the Sal- vation Army. The Salvation Army Temple was crowded, though the admission was 50 cents. There were no flowers, except a white tose, worn by the bride, whose dress was the conventional army black, relieved by a white silk sash. The bridegroom wore his uniform. Both were ungloved. A sup- per and march to the temple preceded the nuptial, which lasted over two hours. There were no special decorations in the hall. “The pair,” said Mrs. Ballington Booth, “were to be married under the flag of the army and of the nation, There were preliminaries of prayer, sing- irg, clapping of hands, waving handker- chiefs and shouting hailelujah in concert. Mrs. Booth said the ruie of the army was to avoid all ostentation. An inviolable con- dition of marriage was that it must not interfere with the duties with either as soldiers of the army, and that each must second and support the other as soldiers of the army. After this the pair stepped to the front, each with an attendant. Mrs. Booth stood between them. Each separately repeated after Mrs. Booth their accep‘ance of the cenditiors. Then hands were joined, and the rest of the ceremony, including the placing of the ring and pronouncing them man and wife. The bride and bridegroom each delivered addresses. Mrs. Booth ciesed with an address. ss ALID CONTRACT. AN I Decision in the United States District vourt at Detroit. Judge Severens, in the United States court at Detroit, has rendered an important decision bearing upon the Sherman anti- trust law. About a year ago two compa- nies entered into an agreement to pool their interests and to carry on the business of manufacturing gelatine shells for capsules as one institution. One company afterward refused to go further into the consolidated enterprise. They filed a bill to perpetually restrain the consolidated company from doing busi- ness. Judge rens takes the position that the trust was formed in violation of the laws of the state of Michigan’ as well as the act of Congress.

Tuesday there was a scare among the school children, and the public school has been closed until Monday. sor Prohibitionists in Indiana, The prohibition state committee of In- diana has passed a resolution indorsing the Nicholson temperance act and calling on the members of the party to assist in enforeing it. It warned members of the party to “rest satisfied with no legislation short of total unconditional abolishing of traffic of in- toxicating beverages in every form.” The committee calls upon every prohibitionist to stand {firm in his ballot, which should be at all times a register of protest against the license system which is recognized and tolerated by every other party. 10+ Will Marry Her Choice.

On the battlefield, as everywhere else, Bismarck looked after the interests of his imperial master. During the battle of Koeniggratz, the old emperor—then King of Prussia—had exposed himself and his staff to the enemy’s fire, and would not hear of retreating to a safe distance. At | Bismarck rode up to him, saying: ‘As responsible minister of the crown, I must insist upon your majesty’s retreat’ to a safe distance. If your majesty were to be killed, the victory would be of no use ‘The king saw the force of this, retreated, but in his zeal re- in and again to the front. noticed it,” said Bismarck telling the story, “I only rose in my sad. dle and looked at him. He understood perfectly, and called out, rather angrily: ‘Yes, Iam coming.’ But we did not get on fast enough, and at last I rode up close to the king, took my foot out of the right stirrup, and secretly gave his horse an en- ergetic kick.
