How the Fashionable Folks Will Dress This Summer to Be Com- fortable as Well as Stylish. ‘fhe Debt They Owe to Wm. H. McKnaw fur So Rendily Solving the Problem. ‘The fashionable folks will hare no trouble in Keeping cool and comfortable and yet looking stylish if they will avail themselves of the styles and stock of Wm. H. McKnew, 933 Pennsylvania avenue. “i Shirt Watsts will be universally adopted, and Judging from the im- mensity of his assort ment, Mr. MeKnew evi- dently expects to supply th entire female popu- lation. I visited Me- Knew's yesterday, and his third floor was a veritable “bee hive,” and many of Washington's leading society lights. were selecting piles of Shirt Waists, Wash Suits, Traveling Suits, Wrap- | Tea Gowns, to be packed away in their “Saratoga” for the summer's conquests, I found | Excellent Percale Shirt Waists as low as §8c., and show cose after show case was filled with the dainticst of color effects at $1. $1.25, $1.50 and Madras, Cheviots, Zephyrs, Ba- | India Linens and Stiks, I was particularly struck with the Sine of yellow, lavender and light | Mlue ground effects, with dainty dittle stars, sprigs, | &e., which were totally different from any I have seen in my travels about towa. And such Silk Waist: It is very evident that Japan and China thought of these lovely patterns long before the war. No wonder Mr. MeKnew keeps them hanging carefully in the long glass case in order that not even a fly can Ight on them, for I do detest selecting from Shirt Waists Which have been pulled and hauled and “finger- Printed” by being thrown out on tables at the | mercy of every passer-by. I saw a beautiful ine of Colored China Silk Waists at $5, and the other extreme in price was represented by a perfect “dream” of a Waist at $18.60. I was also shown that ten dollar Serge Suit Mr. McKnew has been boasting about in the papers, and I must say he 1s fully justified in so doing. You would not want any better sult for “knocking about” at the sea- shore and mountain. There were any number of finer quality Serge Suits, and many Imported “‘Nov- elty" Cioth Suits, in soft tans and mixtures, Thelr Wash Suits were also In, and you will ex- Perlence no trouble in making a selection from ales, the dozens and dozens of styles In Lawns, Batists, India Linens, Dotted Swisses, &e. Washington is to be congratulated upon having such an “ex- | clusiy * Cloak and Suit EH. as MeKnew’s, and | the women of Washington owe him quite a debt | in saving them the trouble and expense of trips to New York and Paris.

The Washingtons put up a good fielding game at Chicago yesterday, making only one error, but Hutehison’s pitching was too much for them. They secured only five hits, and they were scattered. Stewart of the Chi- cagos was very rude to Nicholson, our eastern league find. He actually bumped against him in running to second. Nichol- son and all the rest of the team, including the manager, protested to Umpire McDon- ald that this ungentlemanly conduct pre- vented a double play, but the umpire couldn't see it that way. President Young seems to have picked out his umpires with special reference to their antipathy to Washington. The press dispatches say that this was the turning point of the game. Chicago went in and made two _runs,which so encouraged them that they shortly made two more. It is bad enough to have rough Chicago men jostle our ball players, but to have the umpire aid and abet this treat- ment is too mucl Following are the de- | tails of yesterday’s encounter: CHICAGO.

The game between the Louisville and Philadelphia base ball nines scheduled for yesterday was postponed on account of the races, which commenced in the afternoon. Wet grounds prevented the scheduled meeting of the Cleveland and Baltimore ball nines at Cleveland yesterday afternoon. Rusie went in against Cincinnati at his own request yesterday to get even for his defeat on Saturday. Fred. Pfeffer, Loutsville’s second base- man, says he will quit the diamond sooner than again play with Louisville. “If the National League will break tha proviso th which I am bound to Louisville, I will willingly go in and play as bard as I can for Chicago, but if they refuse to allow me to play elsewhere than Louisville I will quit the diamond for good.” Centertleld Daley, through inability to procure a substitute, was compeiled to play at Providence yesterday, in face of the fact that he recelved a telegram just before the game stating that his brother had been killed in an accident in the forenoon. Manager Davis of New York has made an offer to Mahoney, the crack twirler of the Georgetown College team. Mulvey’s third time on earth is proving so successful that it looks as if he would be a fixture at Brooklyn's third bag.—Baltimore Sun. There are some who think the Wash- ingtons should have kept Mulvey last year instead of Joe Sullivan or Scheibeck. Coogan, the college player, will supplant Nicholson at short stop for the Washington team today. Manager Schmelz thinks Nich- olson has been given a good trial and found wanting. Treasurer H. R. Vonderhorst said yester- day that the Baltimore club stood ready to put out any amount of money for a first- class pitcher of established reputation. “We | will pay any amount,” he said, “for the re- lease of Meekin or of a man like him, and I will pay $1,000 to anybody that will put the deal through.” The New York’s weakest point just now | is just where nearly every one thinks they are strongest, and that in the pitcher’s box Meekin is the only thoroughly reliable pitcher now working. He has a record of three straight victories. Rusie has one vic- German’s showing | is one out of three. Regardless of Cleveland's claim, the Phil- adelphia club signed Pitcher Hodson, and he went west with the team. Carsey will probably be the next Philadel- phia pitcher to be released, but the other five will be kept. Smith and Beam promise to develop, and good work is expected of McGill and Hodson. Weyhing has been given ten days’ notice by Philadelphia. H arm is sound, and he will hardly be long out of an engagement.

Experiments show that efght ounces troy of solid carbon are given off by a-pair of human lungs every 24 hoars. ‘That would be 6% tons in a life of 75 years. What would that amount of carbon be worth in the form of diamond? A diamand is pare carbon. - ‘The price of diamonds concerns very few people, but the condition of the lungs is a matter of supreme importance in this season of changing Weather. Unless the lungs be strong they cannot expel the carbon. A cold attacking them directly weakens them. Any depression, though it seems to effect only one organ, must be overcome by bracing the whole body. For this purpose the doctors prescribe stimu- lants. Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is highly prized by the medical profession, because it rouses the latent energy of the body, creates a keen appetite and is Invigorating and. nerve soothing. If the use of it were followed*by an injurious reaction, the doctors would not commend it. The fact is that Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky stimulates the organs to do their work properly, so that all ground gained is held. Hence, it is a standard medicine—a household remedy of proven value. It is especially useful in the spring to fight those. obstinate colds that so often develop into pneumonia and bronchitis. following pitchers: Taylor, McGill, Hodson, Smith, Beam and Carsey. Taylor, the Phillies’ star pitcher, did not accompany the team west. He almost pitched his arm out in that opening game at Baltimore, and since then has been in bad shape. Saturday morning the club's physician blistered and operated on Tay- lor’s arm, and he will be required to carry it in a sling for two weeks at least. The condition of McMahon’s pitching arm is a subject about which definite informa- tion seems hard to procure. The opinion Prevails that “Mac's” arm is gone. ©. P. Caylor describes a recent unusual play. Robinson of Baltimore hit a fly to short center, which Daly and Griffin (Brook- lyn) both went for. Daly was running from the ball and Griffin toward it. The ball struck Daly’s outstretched hands, bounded out and was caught with one hand by Griffin. Thus Griffin got a put out and Daly an assist. BY GOOD STICK WORK. Georgetown Bents the University of Pennsylvania in a Fine Game. The crack Georgetown College nine came back from Philadelphia last evening all covered up with laurels, having defeated the University of Pennsylvania in one of the most exciting games of the season. Georgetown won for the simple reason that she had the superior team. Pennsylvania played the better flelding game, and her battery work was not marred by a single misplay of any kind. Georgetown’s factors in the earned victory were the pitching of Mahoney and the hard hitting of her first six batters. She seeméd perfectly confident of victory, and “played ball” when the score was 5 to 0 against her at the end of the third inning. For three innings Schoe- nut retired the Georgetown men in one, two, three order. During this time Penn- sylvania had scored five times. The big fel- lows who composed the visiting team, how- ever, did not seem one whit affected, and in the very next inning got onto the ball and slammed it to left and center at a terrific rate. Before the game was over they made seven runs, six of them earned, by hard, sequential ‘hitting. Of Georgetown’s ten hits seven were for more than one base.

Jake Kilrain of Baltimore was knocked cut in the twenty-first round in his fight with Steve O'Donnell of Australia, before the Seaside Club at Coney Island last night. There were about 6,000 people in the house when the announcer gave out the names of the seconds. Billy Delaney, John McVey, Mick Dunn and Benny Murphy were to Jook after O'Donnell, and Erne Gebhart, L. A. Duke, Al Hoeford of Baltimore were to take care of Kilrain. Champion Jim Cor- bett was not in_the housg, but his man- ager, Billy Brady, sat close by the ring side. Parson Davies of Chicago was also an interested spectator. The men shook hands at 10 o'clock, and Kilrain looked very beefy when he stripped. From round two until round seven there was a succession of sparring and clinch- ing, with O'Donnell leading in successful face blows. Blood was drawn from Kilrain in the eighth round, and his nose was still bleed- ing when he came up for the ninth. The two men were clinched when the gong sounded in the twelfth round and at the end of the thirteenth Kilrain was near- ly gone. Heavy body blows were given in the sub- sequent rounds by O'Donnell, who was somewhat punished in return, but Jake grew groggy in the twentieth round. His face showed signs of his severe punish- ment, but he was still very game in the twenty-first round. O'Donnell fought him around the ring. When at close quarters he put his right on the body and sent his left over on the jaw. Kilrain fell like a log to the floor of the ring, and although he managed to get up within the required ten seconds the referee, Tim Hurst, stopped the bout at the request of the police. Jake would have been put out with one more punch. Time of last round, one minute and eighteen seconds. Time of fight, one hour, twenty minutes and ten seconds. Although Kilrain arose within the stipu- lated ten seconds, O’Donnell was awarded the decision, the bout virtually ending in a knock-out. HIT THE BALL OFTEN. An Interesting Game by Departmental League Tenms. The game between the pension office and the Post Office Department teams of the Departmental League at National Park sterday was not as uninteresting as the score would indicate. The ball was hit often and hard, and there was plenty of excitement and fun throughout the whole game. The post office boys seemed to have had no practice at all, for they played without any attempt at team work and made some of the most inexcusable errors. The pension team was better in this re- spect, for, under the leadership of Bolw: they did put some snap and team playing into their work, and in the first inning se- cured a lead by their stick play that prac- tically took the heart of their opponents and won the game for them. Cleeves pitched a fairly good, steedy game, and although the mail clerks suc- ceeded in getting more hits than the pen- sion boys, he kept them well scattered in all but two innings. McWhorter, O’Con- nell and Brown pitched for the P. O. D., but the boys from the big, red, brick building swatted the ball just the same, bunching their hits in the most approved fashion. a The 2 who were tendance was again small,but those there enjoyed the game im- specially the efforts of Chapman | of the P. 0. D. to hang on to the ball at first base. Only eight innings were played account of darkr Catlin umpi¥ n, not one of I oned. This is rs and umpire. sions being itable alike to pla i- | be hoped that he will be selected to umpire most of the games at the-park. The score by inaifigs follows RALE.

St. Asaph Officials Think He Has Been. Unjustly, Treated. Referring to the aJleged pulling of S. W. Streett’ss Summertime at- the St.- Asaph track last Friday, Mr. J. M. Hill, one of the stockholders of thq track, who was- re- ported to- have beet accused by Jockey Nacey of Instructing him. to pull the horse, stated to a Star r er yesterday after- roon- that the-only,-thing he told Necey was to go out and win at any cost. “That was sald,” explained Mr._Hiil, ‘just as the horses left the paddock for the’ starfing post.”* The- only connection he had. with the stable, said Mr. Hill, was to pay Dr Streett s help while he was absent. Streett engaged Nacey to ride the horse on the day before the. race, and told him to win if at all possible. Mr. Hill said that he could not understand how the report that he had instructed Nacey to pull the horse criginated, ag in an investigation by the club the boy declared that he had not so accused him, but had simply said that he rcde to orders. As the result of the club’e investigation, Mr. Hill handed the reporter the following official statement of the result of the in- vestigation: “The officials of the Virginia Jockey Club have investigated the conduct of Jockey Nacey in his ride of Friday last upon Sum- mertime. Nacey stated to the club that the newspaper reports that he stated his instructions were to ‘pull’ are false, he be- ing instructed to win, if ‘possible. Jockey Penn, who rode Lambent, exonerated Nucey from all blame, saying that Summertime’s head was in the air, because he (Penn) in- advertently struck the animal with his whip across the head several times in try- ing to deliver punishment to Lambent. We cannot find that any one profited by Sum- mertime’s defeat, and, in view of Jockey Penn's explanation, which 1s corroborated by the position of the horses at the finish, we concluds that an injustice has probably been done Jockey Nacey, who was engaged by Dr. Streett to ride his horse.” Halma Won at Louisville. Fair ladies waved their handkerchiefs and sturdy men joined in the lusty cheer that greeted the son of a great sire when Halma passed under the wire a winner of the twenty-first Kentucky Derby at Loutsville yesterday afternoon. It was a grand vic- tory for Bryan McClelland’s entry. Twenty- five thousand pairs of eyes centered upon little “Soup” Perkins when he guided Hal- ma under the wire, an easy winner in 2.371, Princeton Records Broken. At the annual interclass track games at Princeton yesterday three of the college reccrds were broken. A. C. Taylor broke the vault by clearing 10 feet 7 inches. W. B. Rogers ran the 120-yard hurdle in 17 1-3 seconds, lowering the previous record by 3-5 of a second, and J. M. Rhodes threw tie hammer 103 feet 11 inches. The sopho- Mores scored 41 1-2, freshman 25, seniors 18 1-2 and juniors 18 points. Baldwin on the Racing Outlook. CHICAGO, IlL,,May 7—“Lucky” Bald- win, the owner ofthe’ Santa Anita stables, stopped over in this city on his way to Louisville, where his horses are racing. He talked freely about the racing outlook, both here and in the easti: The English betting system, which will’ replace the bookmakers on the eastern tracks, he thinks a great Improvement, and should help to a great extent to put racing on a higher plane. The bookmakers, he declares, are the cause of nine-tenths of the So-called crooked rac- ing, and the soongr they are abolished and @ new system adopted the better for the racing game. He alsospeaks in disfavor of foreign books, and‘e¢lares that before long no such thing will exist on turf congress tracks, t The best of his stable will be shipped to Brooklyn and the‘othtrs to Latonia. The Fight o the Roby Track. The fight to close ‘the gates at the Roby race track will begin in earnest today. Prosecuting Attorney Heard of Valparaiso, Ind., said last night that warrants would be issued today for every one connected with the race track. Sheriff Hayes wili go to Roby with force enough to arrest the whole crowd, wnen they will be taken Im- mediately before Judge Gillet, at Crown Point, for a hearing. The plan is to make arrests every day until the gambling is stopped. If necessary, Gov. Matthews will be asked to send 500 militia. Under the laws of Indiana every man who buys pools can be fined and imprisoned. The movement is backed by the best citizens of the county, who will furnish all the money necessary to fight it to the end. The Course Chosen, The Hudson, at Poughkeepsie, has been selected by the representatives of Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania as the course over which the triangular boat race will be rowed on June 21. Pennsylvania favored the Deleware river at Torresdale, but C nell and Columbia held out for the Hudson river. The War on Pugilism. ‘ociate Justice McEnery, as the organ of the supreme court of Louisiana, yester- day handed down a decision which stops prize fighting and glove contests in Louisi- ana. The Florida senate passed yesterday without a dissenting vote Leron’s bill pro- hibiting prize fighting. he bill is the most rigid that could be drafted, and its provisions make it absolutely impossible for even a glove contest to take plece any- where in the state. It is believed that the bill will pass the house by a unanimous vote without amendments. Gov. Mitchell, of course, will sign it. Will Not Build a Candidate. The syndicate of Minneapolis yachtsmen, who were considering the advisability of having a Minnesota boat builder construct a cup defender, have been forced by the lack of time before the final contest comes off to give up the project until next year. Favorites’ Day at St. Asa Yesterday was favorites’ day at St. Asaph and sixteen bookies went home with con- siderably the worst end of the bargain. The only chance they had to make up was in the fifth race, when Lotus, at 6 to 1, came in six lengths good. The crowd was large and the weather all that could be desired, while the track was hard and fast. The winners were Pontlear, 11 to 20; Lon Jones, 13 to 5; Copyright, 3 to 5; Polydora, 6 to 5; Lotus, 6 to 1, and Nick, 3 to 5. ee Hurled Across the River. The residents aldng the canal road above Georgetown are becoming quite alarmed at the frequency with which pieces of fly- ing rock from the blasting in the quarries on the Virginia side of the Potomac land in their neighborhood. Last evening a piece of rock waS hurled over the Three Sisters and landed near the home of J. Brown and buriedvtself in the ground. Mr. Brown dug it up and found it weighed ov nine pounds. He -brotght it to town this morning and took“it to police headquarters as a proof of the need of steps to prevent such big blasts. ge Death of Collector Carter. The Treasury Department 1s informed of the death Sunday, of, Mr. M. E. Carter, collector of internal revenue for the sixth district of North Carolina. Mr. Rogers, chief deputy collector, has been directed by telegraph to take charge of the affairs of the office. The death of Collector Car- ter will undoubtedly revive the sharp fight for that office that occurred !ast winter. Mr. Kope Elias was nominated for the office. The late Senator Vance opposed his appointment and preventetd his confirma- tion, He also finally induced the President to withdraw the nomination of Elias and send in’ the name of Carter instead. The latter was confirmed. The frieads of Elias are already urging his appointment and are encoura 4 to hope for success, inasmuch as death has removed his two principal cpponents.

A small fire drew a*large crowd to the corner of 10th and G streets at haif-past 10 o'clock this. morning, but it was due to the prompt work of the chemical engine com- pany that the fire did not prove a larger one. and draw a much greater crowd. The cook in the. boarding house conducted at Nos, 712 and 714 10th street built a heavy fire this morning in the range and left the lid of the stove open. The flames commu- nicated to some loose paper that she had left on the top, and then to the floor cover- ing. In a. few moments the room was ablaze, and when the. chemical engine ar- rived there was a brisk fire started. A hole was knocked in the wall adjoining the al- leyway, and a stream was quickiy put into the kitchen, which was by this time fairly hot. In a remarkably short time the fire was subdued and the danger was over. Two other engines responded, but by the time of their arrival the trouble was prac- tically past. The kitchen was pretty well burned and the rest of the house was filled with smoke, but the damage was trifling. There. was no panic, and the greatest cool- ness marked the behavior of those in the house. The buildirg is owned by George A. Armes. SSS Mas Excursion. The Washington Masonic Veterans and the Masonic Veteran Association, two of the Masonic orders of this city, composed of Masons who have been in good stand- ing in the order for more than twenty- one years, gave a joint excursion to Mar- shall Hall yesterday.
