Dr. Edward Leon of 461 Missouri avenue, who has figured in the courts on various charges, ranging from disorderly conduct to murder, and who is now under bail to arswer a charge of causing the death of an infant by alleged criminal operation, is soon to figure in the Police Court on charges of disorderly conduct and destroy- ing private property. His landlady, Mrs. Mary McCarthy, swore out the warrants in the Police Court yes- terday, and she admitted that she was anxious to get rid of him.

Law Students Debate. A well-attended meeting of the Colum- bian Law Society was held at the Colum- bian University Friday evening. The “Married Woman's Act” was the topic for discussion, and the papers of A. F. Flint and G. F. Daggett were very attentively listened to and were received with much favor by the young lawyers present. The debate on the act became so general, and this law is of such vital importance to the legal fraternity, that it was decided to con- tinue the discussion at the next meeting, when the muny decisions of the District courts upon questions arising for a judi- cial construction will be treated at length. At the meeting of May 10 papers will be read by F. C, O'Connell and James A. Finch, ee Dinner to W. Calvin Chase. There will be a celebration when W. Calvin Chase emerges from the District jail, which will happen about the middle of June. His term was for ninety days, but by good behavior he has reduced it by a week or two. The colored editors of northern Virginia have arranged to give Mr. Chase a banquet at Alexandria as soon after he returns to active life as he may find convenient, after which there will follow a reception in his honor. Mr. Chase finds life within prison wails more comfortable than would be supposed. He spends his time in writing and reading, and receives from ten to fifteen callers daily in the spacious rotunda of the jail. ——_———_— A Two-Fold Work of Charities. The charitable work of the Civic Center, as a result of a conference of executive officers of the organization yesterday, will be allotted to two committees instead of one, as heretofore. The first of these will be known as the committee on pauperism and embrace the two subjects of charitable organization and tramps. The second will deal with the industrious poor. This di- vision of the subject from every considera- tion seems wise and likely to be productive of good. Mr. B. Pickman Mann will be chairman of the committee on pauperism. The board of trade having taken up the Pingree potato plan, the Civic Center will not actively undertake any effort in that line, but will, if necessary, co-operate as may be thought best. At the meeting yes- terday the plan was allotted to Mr. Mann's committee as a subject for consideration. a A Foreign Minister's Sale. Messrs. Latimer, Morgan & Co. will sell tomorrow for the Peruvian minister all his household effects at residence 1839 Corcoran street. In the collection is the superb up- right piano that cost $80, together with many other elegant articles. Sale will com- mence at 10:30 o'clock.—Adv1 Art In Water Colors.

Noble te Young Men Entering on an Important Profession. Last evening Columbian University, through its dental department, added just fourteen more to its long and honored roll of graduates, and if the future of the young men who last evening stepped forth into the world be half so bright and smiling as the scene which presented itself as they re- ceived their diplomas, they will indeed be fortunate. The graduation exercises were held at Metzerott Hall, and despite the very inclement weather a very large audi- ence greeted the young men, as, headed by President S. H. Greene and the faculty of the dental department of the university, they marched out upon the stage. Tall palms and great banks of beautiful flow- ers hedged them about, and above them floated a floral pennant of blue and red. After prayer by the Rev. Randolph H. McKim, Dr. J. Hall Lewis, the dean of the dental department, presented the following graduates to President Greene as entitled to diplomas: Don Fernando Aguilera of the United States of Colombia, Joseph Cohen of Texas, James White Davis of Maine, William S. Gustin of Ohio, William Hislop of Ontario, Robt. E. L. Hackney of Virginia, Eugene Lyman Le Merle of the District, Joseph Everett Keene of the Dis- trict, Ernest C. Varela of California, Henry Knowles of Georgia, Charles Wesley Orr of New York, Will K. Petty of the District, Harry D. Parsons of New York, William Henry Trail of Maryland and Israel G. Warfield of Maryland. Upon each of them President Greene con- ferred the degree of doctor of dental sur- gery, and each young m&n, as he was handed his diploma, was greeted with a round of applause. Good Advice. To the graduates Prof. H. B. Noble, D.D. S., then delivered some excellent advice ‘n a very interesting address. He told them that it is necessary that they should have a knowledge of medicine, that they should have a trained mechanical hand and that they should be born gentlemen. Years ago, he said, dentistry was regarded as more of a mechanical than a medical profession, but it has so far advanced now that it has become a distinct profession, He ad- vised the graduates to never relinquish the’r studies, informing them that today the professional man has more time and better opportunities for advancement than ever before, and he urged them to make the microscope their constant companion, Washington, he said, stood in great need of a chair of dental surgery, and the profes- sion looked to Cvlumbian University to supply that need. He also trusted that at no distant day the Army and Medical Mu- seum would possess a special library of dental works and valuable specimens in that line of medical application. In sending them forth in the world, said Prof. Noble, the university honored them, and it now re- mained for them to honor it in the coming years, : The Valedictory. Dr. Henry Knowles delivered the class valedictory, and his effort proved a most eloquent and interesting one, the young man deservedly receiving a round of en- thusiastic applause. When he had con- eluded, Prof. H. C. Thompson, D.D.S., stepped forward to announce the name of the fortunate winner of the prize of $25 for the highest percentage in study during the three years’ course. The highest mark- ing obtainable, he said, was 120, and then he announced that Dr. William S. Gustin was entitled to the prize, having received a percentage of 110. As the young man stepped forward he was greeted with a storm of applause, as was the announce- ment of Prof. Thompson that Dr. Robert iE. L, Hackney was entitled to honorable mention, having received a marking of 100. The benediction was then pronounced, the audience dispersing to music by the string orchestra, which during the exercises ren- dered several well-received selections. —— HUNTING FOR HER HUSBAND. Had a Saloonkeeper Arrested, the Case Was Dismissed. Mrs. Margaret Poole, wife of a carpenter, who lives at No. 1413 High street, George- tcwn, called at the private entrance of Saloonkeeper William Harnedy’s place, on M street, Sunday afternoon, and made a demand for her husband, who, she claim- ed was in the house. Mr. Harnedy, who was getting ready to go driving, denied that the carpenter was in the Fouse, but the wife did not believe him. Monday Mrs. Poole swore cut a warrant charging the saloorkeeper with assault, and the case was tried today. “My husband,” said the woman, has been in the habit of going to this saloon and spending his money for liquor, and I have usked the saloonkeeper not to’sell him any more liquor.” “And what about Sunday?’ asked. “I went there,” she answered, “and asked Mr. Harnedy to send my husband out. He said he was not in there, and I told him he was. He called me a ‘liar,’ and I told him he was a gentleman.” “Then what happened?” ‘He asked me to come in and search.” “Did you go?” “No, sir, I was afraid to go in there.” Mrs. Poole said that the saloonkeeper pushed her from the door. The saloonkeeper denied the charge, and he also denied that Mrs. Poole’s husband was in his place Sunday. The court heard other witnesses and dis- missed the case. but the court ———_— Fifth Battalion Riflemen. The second match in the series between teams of the fifth battalion was shot last night at the National Guard Armory, un- der the direction of Lieut. Shaw, inspector of rifle practice, the team from company A again being successful. Although com- pany D entered the match it did not put in an appearance last night, and the con- test narrowed down to companies A and B. The conditions were eight men to each team, ten shots to each man, and the distance 300 yards. The total score of company A was 321, the average score per man being 40.8, that of company B was 292, their average score per man being . Two battalion matches yet remain to be shot off, the winner to receive the silver medal which has been offered as a prize, the next shoot taking place May 27, when the distance will be 500 yards. A match will be shot Friday, May 3, between teams from the sixth and fifth battalions, the teams consisting of twenty men each. Each man will shoot ten shots at 200 yards. The highest score for April was made by Corporal Appleby, he winning the individ- ual medal. — Cattle Market.

The fire started on the second floor, and it was only because of prompt work of the fire department that the entire building and the adjoining houses were not de- stroyed. It is suld that the damage amounted to about $800. paar Methodist Union. A reception was given last evening by the Methodist Jnion of the District at Waugh M. E. Church.

AMUSEMENTS. ‘Monseigneur.”—The third comedy season of Frederic Bond and company, which was inaugurated at the Grand Opera House Monday night, will undoubtedly be a repe- tition of the former success of that or- ganizatfon in this city. Messrs. Shaw and Bradford have brought together a com- pany whose members have been drawn from the leading dramatic organizations of standing in the country, and Washing- ton theater-goers may feel assured of wit- nessing a round of high-class and enter- taining comedies. For the second week, beginning next Monday evening, the com- pany will present the four-act comic drama, “Monseigneur.” Seats on sale Thursday morning. Watson Sisters’ Burlesque Company.— The Watson Sisters’ Big Burlesque Com- pany will be the attraction at the Lyceum next week, when two new and up-to-date burlesques, entitled “A Royal Reception” and “On the Bow-Wow-Ery,” will be pre- sented. The olio is composed of a number of well-known artists, among whom are the Clark razzillians, wonderful gymnasts; Gallager and West, celebrated comedians; W. B. Watson and Jeanette Dupre, the original comedy duo; Stewart and Gillen in their new athletic specialty; Williams and Barton, comedians, vocalists and danc- ers, and Whittle, the human telephone. 4& special feature of the performance will be the first presentation in this city of New York's present craze, the bronze stat- ues, said to be faithful reproductions of the originals. Deparmental League Benefit—The friends of the Departmental Base Ball League turned out in force last night to insure financial success of the benefit given for the league at National Rifles’ Armory. The affair was under the direction of A. A. Sousa, the president of the league; Chas. F. Dickens, league secretary, and Frank Reb- stock, C. F. Miller, M. C. Hazen, G. B. Young and A. S. Belote, and the entertain- ment was full of interesting features. The best numbers were the violin solo by Her- man Rakemann, who played with exquisite expression and delicacy; a soprano solo by Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, and the sing- ing of the Columbia Qdartet, comprising Messrs. Watson, Mooney, Looker and Fish- er, the first of these singing a bass solo, to the accompaniment of the quartet, in ex- cellent voice. Mr. David Bangs and Mr. Ed. Walsh recited, and the Amazon dance and the sailors’ hornpipe were given by Miss Miriam Stoddard and Master Willie Collier, respectively. Frank Rebstock gave a baritone solo, and the McCabe brothers and Chas. F. Miller sang topical songs. Mr. William Morsell also sang. Mr. John Por- ter Lawrence accompanied Mrs. Berry and Mr. Rakemann, while Mr. Fred. Gaisberg was the accompanist of the Columbia Quartet. Prof. Crossley and Masters Wat- ers, Cabrera and Sperrier gave a tumbling exhibition that was above the average, and the evening's entertainment closed ‘with Karst's “Ave Marie,” sung by Madame Esputa Daly’s Singing Club. It is thought that the proceeds of the entertainment will net quite a good sum. Every one who at- tended the concert was invited to the opening game of the league tomorrow, at National Base Ball Park, between the Dis- trict Commissioners’ office team and the nine from the bureau of engraving and printing, each one receiving a compliment- ary ticket of admission. The Entre Nous Club.—An interesting en- tertainment was given last evening in Ma- sonic Hall by the Entre Nous Club, the performance including a clever little drama, “Comrades,” an attractive musl- cal program and fancy dancing by little Miss Ethel Johnston. The dramatic por- tion of the entertainment contained some of the most popular amateur talent in the city, assisted by C. Garvin Gilmain, whose professional experience added ma- terially to the success of the play. The characters were well sustained by Miss Nannye Knight, Marie Higgins, Miss Julia A. Patterson, und Edwin Filbert Camp- bell, Alphonso D. Rice and John H. Pellew. The clever rendition of difficult lines and management of situations called forth fre- quent applause from the audience, which served the double purpose of encouraging the young actors and testifying to the general satisfaction of the onlookers. A recitation by little Miss Jane Gardner, and the violin solo by Master John Tyssowski formed other attractions which were en- cored. Miss Starkey’s May Ball.—The third grand annual may ball of Miss Starkey and her pupils will come off tonight at the National Rifles’ Armory. All the standard fancy dances, with the addition of many new ones, will be given by the little misses and masters, and, as usual, a large audi- ence will no doubt be present. The Dahomy Village——The Dahomeans started putting up their village at Capitol Park yesterday. Although the park was transformed into a sea of mud the work went merrily on and this morning saw all the tents and huts in place. About forty of the natives are in the party, being the same that were on the midway at the world’s fair, and they will stay in this city for a week, giving a show every day. Miss Whiting to Sing.—The many friends of Miss Harriette Whiting of Boston, the well-known contralto, who is on a_ visit to this city, will be glad of the opportunity to hear her sing afforded by the old folks concert. which takes place in the Uni- versalist Church on Friday evening of this week, in which she is to take part.

Potsons are left in the blood, which manifest themselves in oue way or another. If Hood’s Sarsaparilla is taken these terrible results may be avoided, because Hood's Sarsaparilla makes pure, rich blood and gives strength. “Ever since I had typhold fever, which de- veloped into spinat and-brain fever, I have suffered almost continually with rheuma- tism, so severely that I could not le down or sit ina chair any length of time. I spent much money for medicines, but all failed. My druggist recommended Hood's Sarsapa- rilla, and I took it. One bottle of this grand medicine helped me. I had no appe- tite at first, and had fallen off in weight. I continued taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and now have used twelve bottles. I am free from all pain, having gained in flesh, and have good app ‘ite.”” JOHN J. DUEER, 111 Pearl st., Dayton, Oblo.

There was a lively demonstration of Pieasure Monday afternoon when Mr. Geo. Kennan appeared on the platform at the Rifles’ armory before the National Geo- graphic Society. The applause was loud and earnest and lasted long. Mr. Kennan lectured on Siberia, giving a runnig ac- count of his journey in 1885, in company with the artist, George A. Frost, from St. Petersburg to Irkutsk and the mines be- yond, where the exile system adds the horror of man’s inhumanity to the terrors of the desert cold. The illustrations thrown off by a stereopticon were from photo- graphs and sketches made by Mr. Frost. The journey described in detail from St. Petersburg to Mocon, Nizhnee Novgorod, through Perm, Ekaterineburg, Tiumen, Omsk, Tomsk and on to Irkutsk, abounded in incident and adventure. To the Ameri- can travelers it was soon apparent, after passing the Siberian frontier at Ekaterine- burg, 1,600 miles from St. Petersburg, that Siberia was not all a cold, barren waste. In one place they met 543 heavily laden Wagons, carrying grain and produce to mar- ket. While Siberia contains the polar cen- ter of cold, where the mean temperature of the year is but 4 degrees above zero, and through December, January and Feb- ruary the highest temperature is about 51 degrees below zero, yet southern Siberia is on about the same parallel of latitude as Naples. The journeying in the tarantas or boat-shaped carriages, with troikas of horses, by means of which the traveler makes 100 miles a day, and in which Mr. Kennan and his comrade journeyed 8,000 miles in nine months, made an interesting feature of the account. ‘The boundary pillar beyond Ekaterine- burg, where the exile trains stop to bid good- bye to friends and their native soil before passing the line into Siberia and a living death, made a pathetic picture of human misery. Past this pillar, said Mr. Kennan, over 170,000 exiles have traveled since 1878, and in this century over half a million have there bade good-bye to home and kindred. The thrilling experience of riding in a ta- rantas, with the three horses running at breakneck speed, with Mr. Kennan’s imi- tations of the driver's yells and Mr. Frost's pictures of the scene; the drinking of koumiss in the tents of the Kirghts chiefs, the description of village life, the cities, architecture, customs, dress, industries and commerce of that far-away northeast of the world, were most interestingly pictured. Although reaching a point within 500 or 600 miles of the seat of war in China, and among a people largely Mongolian, Mr. Kennan did not enter on any comment on the recent unpleasantness between the mi- kado and his neighbor. Nor did he touch at all en the exile system of Siberia, which was the prime object of the journey thither. The aim was simply to describe experiences of an itinerary that will always be regarded as remarkable for the courage displayed by Mr. Kennan and Mr. Frost and for the re- sults that came so substantially from it.

What a winter it was—in after years—when old and gray—the children who played amid its snow Will tell—as do the old men now—ah, but we had weather then—but row comes May, and as she walks abroad and sees the barren hills and naked Wolds, she drops her tender tears—and lo, a mir acle—as fall the pitying drops upon the face of sleeping nature—she Wakes and breaks in smiles— every tear becomes a blade of green and behind the ‘curtain of ber clouds she works her wondrous transformation on all the woods and hills—then the brooks throw off thelr chains and croon their sonzs to budding willows along the daisy-spanzled banks of verdant meadows—which, in turn, sug- gests to every passerby—Go and get new ¢lothes— Which we make as low as $10 for @ sult to order— chenp as ready-made. ‘Tailoring— Exclusively-- Merrz AND Mertz, grades of first-class Who'll ft you or keep ‘em. makers. 906 F Street N.W.

She had forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. When six months old she did not weigh seven pounds, 2 pound and a half less than at birth. ‘Then her skin started to dry up and got s0 bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep, but lay with them half open. About this time I started using the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and in one month she was completely cured. The doctor and drug bills were over one hundred dol- lars, the CUTICURA bill was not more than five dollars. My child is now strong, healthy, and large as any child of her age, and it is all owing to CUTICURA. Yours, with a mother’s blessing, Mrs. GEO. H. TUCKER, Jr., aor st} Walker st., Milwaukee, Wis.
