TEL EE EEE eS — THE SPECTROSCOPE. Prof. Farquhar Lectures the Theory of Light. Prof. Henry Farquhar, assitant statis- tician of the Department of Agriculture, gave a lecture yesterday afternoon before the National Science Club for women, at the rooms of the club, 1425 New York avenue. His subject was Spectrum Analysis and the Increase of Our Knowledge Due to Its Discovery.” This important scientific event ocurred no longer ago than 1859. It is true, the Optician Fraunhofer had long before noted in the solar spectrum the lines known by his name; but it was not until 1859 that their conection with the chemical composition of the luminous body became known. Previous to that date an eminent scientific man, in speaking of the necessary limitations of knowledge, had included the chemical constitution of the heavenly bodies around things, which, from the na- ture of the case, must always remain un- known to man. Yet, impossible as it had then seemed, this seemingly inaccessible field of knowledge had been opened to us, spectrum analysis being the key which had unlocked its gate. The matter, too, was shown to be quite a simple one, since the @efinite and regular conection between par- ticular lines of the spectrum and the chem- ical composition of the substance from which the light emanates, Is readily proved by experiments with substances whose ccmposition is known, and all that is necessary is to apply the results of such terrestrial experiments in reading the meaning of the lines found in the spectra of the heavenly bodies. Upon the same principle we are able to decide whether the luminous substance is in a gaseous or a denser form, and if the latter is the case, we can also determine whether the light emitted from that sub- stance comes to us through an intervening gas or otherwise. Arother most interesting subject upon which the spectrum throws light is the motion of the fixed stars toward or from us—a subject in respect to which the other means of observation at the command of DANGEROUS USE OF STRONG PURGATIVES. Most pills and purgatives which act quickly upon the bowels irritate and often destroy the mucous coats of the stomach snd b@wels. Indeed, their cathartic action is directly caused by the irritation Of the bowels, which they produce. Thelr action should be soothing and sthmulating fnstead of irritating. A continned use of such remedies pro- duces chronte inflammation of the stomach and Bowels. ‘This often ends in dangerous disease. The ase of the genuine imported Carlsbad Spradel Salt is highly recommended as an aperient, laxa- five and diuretic, because its netion is due’ solely fo its “solvent and stimulating propertics. It Soothes and allays Inflammation, ‘and 1s° therefore much preferable to all strong purgatives. Beware of imitations. Dr. Tovoldt’s. lecture on Carlsbad Sprudel Sait and pamphlets mailed tree.

Farquhar explained that the help afforded by the spectrum depends upon the fact that rays of different colors represent different rates of vibration in the luminous ether, and that if a body is approaching us, that fact causes some increase in the number of light vibrations reaching the eye in a sec- ond, whereas if it ts receding from us the opposite effect is produced. He remarked that the existence of a luminiferous ether is hypothetical, but pointed out that the hypothesis of its existence has been vin- dicated by the best test to which scientific hypotheses in general can be subjected, predictions based upon the correctness of the hypothesis having so far been uni- formly verified. Next Monday Mr. F. V. Coville, botanist of the Agricultural Department, will de- liver a lecture upon the “Natural Distribu- tion of Seeds,” before the same club. April 13 Miss Florence Merriam, sister of Prof. C. Hart Merriam, will deliver a lec- ture before the club on “How to Observe Birds.” Mi8s Merriam takes parties of in- vestigators on this subject out into the country every Thursday to study the birds. ————— AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOW Real Estate Transactions and Other News Notes.

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS OF MOUNT LEBANON, We may not accept their p2culiar religious views. We cannot enter into the spirit of their sacrifices, and therefore we do not study their habits of life. It is not necessary to believe as they do, but we can and do respect thelr sincerity of purpose and the honor and uprightness which mark all their bus- iness dealings. In one particular the Shakers excel all other men or classes of men. This ts in the cultivation of medicinal herbs and plants. They have made it a ‘™udy for more than one hundred years. They are also expert in extracting from them their char- acteristic essences and mediciral virtues. ‘This is their peculiar industry. Their lives have been devoted to it. By it they are supported. They excel In this branch as do the monks of the Order of St. Benedict with thelr famous Mqueur, called “Benedictine.” ow, this Ifelong study on the part of the Shakers has not been in vain, They have accom- plished much good. ‘Their medicinal extracts and cordials are known throughout ‘the world. ‘The Shaker Digestive Cordiul is prohably the most useful medicine ever given to the public.

THERE WAS A BABY Prisoners in Line Before Police Oourt Judges. A Little One in Its Mother’s Arms— ‘The Usual Offenses Charged—The Fines and Sentences, Theré were two dozen and two names on the Police Court Maria list this morning, but there were twenty-seven souls in the cells. One of taem, however, did not count, for she was an infant In the arms of her mother too young to speak, but with lungs strong enough to make a loud noise. ‘While the baby was crying the men in the three cells were singing, and finally the little one seemed to appreciate the music, and ceased making the disturbing noise. When Judge Kimball's court convened there was a short procession of prisoners, and besides them there were other cases for trial. Mrs. Sproesser, who keeps a liquor saloon and has a number of boarders, was charged with keeping an unlicensed eating house. When the license inspectors had given their testimony the court called for the de- fense, and Mrs. Sproesser’s son made a e.

The case went over for additional proof. Disorderly Conduct. Eight residents of Twining City were in court to listen to the evidence in the case of Otto Buckholtz, charged with disorderly conduct. He denied the charge of disorderly con- duct, and said, “I calied them monkeys.” “And don’t you call that disorderly con- duct keys.” Five dollars. Arthur Eckloff, the keeper’of a pool room, admitted that he had permitted a boy to play in his room. But he asked the boy his age, and he said he was twenty-one years. “I did not doubt his age,” said Eckloff, “because he drinks in bar rooms without any trouble.” “Then,” said the court, “he is going down the hill very fast, and that’s just what this law is intended to prevent. A fine of $10 was imposed. He Got Mad. When the name Levi Pennifield was called a young man wearing a pair of gold- rimmed eyeglasses appeared at the rail, and Daniel Bruce, a Water street black- smith, appeared and told how he fooled Levi yesterday. “Levi came in the shop yesterday and commenced fooling,” said the blacksmith, “and I told him to stop it or I would have him arrested. He thought I didn’t mean what I said, but I did.” “Was the man loud or profane?” the court asked. “Yes, sir,” answered the blacksmit! used bad language and was loud.” “Loud enouga to be heard on the street?" “Yes, sir” - The blacksmith said that the intruder was under the influence of liquor, and he asked for money for another drink. “That's wrong,” sald the prisoner. didn't ask for money for liquor, because I had money in my pocket. We were fool- ing, and when I got the better of Mr. Bruce he got mad.” “Five dollars.”* William Douglass, a fifteen-year-old col- ored boy, who lives in Anacostia, was in the procession. He threw a stone at a little red-haired boy named Horace Shan- non yesterday, and a policeman arrested him because the stone broke Charles So- per’s $5 bay window. diorace aumitted that he called names at the colored boy, and told of his having thrown the stone which ended so dis astrously. pote made me done it,” said the Douglass sir; because they acted like mon- “y ry. “How did he make you do it?” “He called me names years.” “Then you are too old to throw stones. Five dollars.” “Guilty,” was the response of McFall Bowen, against whom there was a charge cf disorderly conduct. “I've been out of work all the winter,” he suid, “and about two weeks ago I went to work. Yesterday I happened to get drunk.” “Not happened to get drunk,” said the judge. “That's not the word to use. You got drunk deliberately.” “Well,” restmed the prisoner, “as I was going to say, if your honor will trust me until Saturday I'll pay the fine.” “We are not trusting many people now,” sald the judge, “but if you can pay the fine today and can get an officer to vouch for you I'll let you go.” “I'll have to earn the money before I can pay it,” said the prisoner. “I hope your honor will let me go this time, as I have to support my aged mother.” “You should have thought of your mother before you got drunk,” said Judge Kimball. “I know I shculd have done so,” said the prisoner, “and I’m sorry I didn’t.” An officer was called upon to say a good word for the prisoner, but all he would say was that he is drunk most of his time. The usual fine was paid and the prisoner stepped back. _ William Payne and Delia Edelin, a col- cored couple, appeared, and answered “guilty” when arraigned on a charge of secre conduct. “Five dollars each,” said the court. Back Again. A young colored man named Bernard Rose was in the line as a vagrant, and it was not his first appearance. “I'm guilty of being there,” was his an- swer when arraigned. He meant that he was at his uncle's house, where he is not Wanted. Last week he was in court, and the judge fook his personal bonds to keep away from his uncle's. Bernard seemed under the impression that his uncle was bound to support him while he attended school. He was given thirty days. Frank Maryman, a young man who lives in East Washington, admitted-that he had violated the disorderly conduct law and was fined $5 or fifteen’ days. John Lee, a young colored man, was charged with being a suspicious person because he was found under alleged sus- picious circumstances at 4:30 a.m. “I'm guilty of being inside the gate,” was the prisoner's plea. Policeman Herbert told of his arrest, and the prisoner tried to explain that he was calling to see a friend at the place. He admitted, however, that the man for whom he was looking did not stop at that place, and a sentence of ten days was im- posed. —— He Was Fined. The mest stylishly dressed individual in the Police Court today was a colored Jockey who rides at the race track across the river. His name was given as Marcel- lus Carter, and the charge against him was disorderly conduct. Last evening he called at the National Hotel, he says, to see one of the race-horse owners, and was told that he was not wanted in the hotel. Marcellus thought he had as much right there as anybody else, and he declined to go when Special Officer Jack Davis or- dered him out. The jockey thought he had been insulted and called the officer to ac- ccunt for what he had sald. The result was that the well-dressed jockey soon found himself behind the bars, and this mofning Judge Kimball fined him $5 for disorderly conduct. ——__ Congratulating Bismarck. Mr. Simon Wolf, in carrying out a prop- osition of the third annual conoert of the Washington Saengerbund, yesterday sent the following cablegram to Prince Bis- marck, congratulating him upon his eight- ieth birthday: “‘The German-Americans of the capital of the United States congratu- late you heartily,” signed “Wolf, chair- man.” LATE’ SPORTING NEWS JOYCE F: iTO LINE. — z “Scrappy Bill” ffees to Richmond to Join\fhe Team. The Washington management, as already intimated in The ‘Star, has seen the evi- dent weakness of the tedm, and Joyce has been directed to appear at Richmond. Ac- cording to yesterday’s Cincinnati Enquirer, Joyce will soon join ‘he Senators. The Enquirer says: { 7 “ ‘Scrappy’ Joyce; the spunky third base- man of the Washington’, who has been holding off for an Increase’in salary, was in the city yesterday. He was en route for Richmond,where he will join the Senators.” This will cause profound joy among local “fans, who had given fp expectation of seeing the hard-hitting captain in line with his old associates. The Pittsburgs again defeated the Wash- ingtons yesterday—this time by 10 to 7. Crooks having an injured hand, Houseman covered third base. Stocksdale pitched for five innings without a hit being secured. Mercer then went in and had poor control of the ball, and was ineffective. The score follows: Washington ......1 021201007 Pittsburg .........2 0 000 6 2 0 0-10 Warned runs—Pittsburg, 4; Washington, 3. Base hits—Washington, 8; Pittsburg, 8. Three-base hits—Beckley.

Club members and their friends have a cordial invitation to witness these games. Three Favorites Won. Three favorites, a second and third choice and an outsider earned winning brackets at the St. Asaph track yesterday, and the talent had a little the better of the sixteen men behind the slates. The attendauce was large, and the racing fairly interest- ing. The winners were: Summertime, 1 to ; George Dixon, 2 to Capt. Brown, 7 to 2; Watchman, 3 to 1; William T., 6 to 5, and Hera, 8 to 1. . Cincirnati Releases Canavan. Jimmy Canavan has been released to Indianapolis by Cincinnati. Latham will probably play third base, and Gray, who has held that position during the southern trip, will be kept;as utility man. Miller or Hegriver will play right field, and one cf them will be released. Miller has been given no opportunity yet to show his abil- ity as a fielder, and the public sentiment is in his favor. Capt. Ewing intends to hold all of his catchers unless he can make an advantageous trade. —__—_ ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS. Notes From the Churches and Other Local Matters. A general meeting of the local council of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew of Alexan- dria and vicinity will be held in Christ Church lecture room tonight,at 7:30 o'clock. In addition to the evening service’ short addresses will be made by Reys.Henderson, Suter and S. A. Wallis, and Messrs. W. W. Parker, G. L. Boothe and others. The meetings will be held bi-monthly. The sixty-seventh session of the Mary- land annual conference of the Methodist Church will convene in the Methodist Pro- testant Church of this city tomorrow, at 9 o'clock a. m. One of the most important matters will be the election of a president, who will have a general charge of the churches for a year. The church appointments will also be made. Death at Almshouse. Henry Jones, a colored man from the county, died at the almshouse yesterday. Jones was severely frost bitten’ during the February blizzard, so much so that it was necessary to amputate his toes. It is said that had he received proper atention at first his life could have been saved. Clothes Stolen. % Charles Cook,’a stable man from one of the St. Asaph track stables, came to the police station yesterday and reported that an overcoat and other drticles of clothing had been stolen from his room at the track; and that he suspected a colored man named Walter Briggs. He left a description of the stolen garments, also a description of Briggs at the police station, and he will be arrested on sight. Notes. Rey.

A Decision Not to Give “Samson and Delilah” This Season. The Choral Society has concluded that it will be impossible to give “Samson and Delilah” this season. Some months ago it was arranged, through Mr. Wolfsohn, that Miss Clary, Mr. Guille, Mr. Emil Fischer and Mr. Merill Hopkinson were to be se- cured as soloists for the Choral Society for Saint Saens’ oratorio, the date then being fixed on April 17. It has been re- cently ascertained that neither Mr. Guille nor Mr. Fischer can be obtained under any circumstances, the former’s time being monopolized by the Tavary Opera Com- pany, while the latter is under contract with the German Opera Company under the direction of Mr. Walter Damrosch. As “Sampson and Delilah” requires the ac- companiment of a large orchestra effort was made to obtain the Metropelitan Opera House Orchestra, but that organization could not come here until the 6th of May. The society would have given the oratorio even at that late date had there been a sufficient response to the call of the board of directors for a guarantee fund asked for to secure the society against loss. Circu- lars were sent out to the active and honor- ary membership, setting forth the expense that would be involved in the production of this oratorio and an appeal was made for a fund of $1,000, It was believed that this amount would be readily subscribed to aid an organization that has done so much to further the cause of music in its highest and most elevated form in this city. But the returns did not justify the anticipation of the board of directors. The active members of the society did well and pledged themselves either in cash or responsibility for tickets to the amount of over $400, but the honorary member- ship failed to respond, and the sum re- ceived from them was less than $4). The total was not sufficient in the estimation of the board of directors to justify attempt- ing the production of a work involving so much expense and so it was decided to postpone giving “Samson and Delilah” un- til next season. There was some discus- sion as to the giving of another concert and repeating some of the works that the society has already presented, but this plan was finally abandoned and a report was made to the society last night that rehearsals be continued during this month, but that _no more concerts be given this season. Those who still hold coupons on honorary membership car have them re- deemed in cash or they can be held until “Samson and Delilah” is given next year and then used. This report was adopted by the society and no more concerts will be given this season. The attendance last night was quite large and the work, under the direction of Dr. Harry C. Sherman, went on with enthusiasm. Dr. Sherman has already acquired the good feeling and hearty co-operation of the force under his control, and has given to the rehearsals an increasing interest. The decision of having 10 more concerts would have a dampenirg effect upon a less thorough musician, but Dr. Sherman puts as much industry and energy into his work as if there were a definite object in view this season. It is his plan to give “Samson and Delilah” sometime in February next, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra as the accompariment if a date can be arranged to follow one of the concerts of that or- ganization in this city. The first oratorio to be given by the society next season will be “The Messiah,” which will, as usual, be presented during the Christmas holidays. ——>__ For New Members. Encampment No. 69, Union Veteran Legion, met last night and adopted a rec- ommendation that a gold medal, to cost not less than $10, should be awarded to that comrade presenting the largest list of mustered applicants for comradeship, provided that the number ehall be about ten. . —_.—_—__ The Jail Management. Referring to the charges against Warden Leonard of the District jail, said to have been filed by Robt. W. Davey, recently dis- charged from the jail, with the Department of Justice, Judge Cole stated to a Star re- porter today that the District Supreme Court had not even considered the matter of the alleged mismanagement of the pris- on. Whether or not such charges have been filed with the Attorney General, Judge Cole explained that the court does not know. The Department of Justice, stated Judge Cole, has ample authority to con- duct any investigation it may consider proper, as has the court, but unless the department requested the court to Investi- gate the management of the jail, or unless formal charges were filed with the court, Judge Cole remarked that no investigation would be made by the court. ges Rev.
