Collins, who is also known as Mrs. Frost and Mrs. McCanna, and who is to be tried for alleged bigamy, appeared in Judge Kimball's court today and charged Robert M. Frost with threats of personal violence. “He came to me and wanted the child,” she said, ‘‘and threatened my life. “What did he say he would do? “He said that I shouldn't live on God’s green earth,” she answered, “and also said he would send me to Sing Sing in thirty day Is he your husband?” ‘No, sir.” ‘Were you ever married to him?” “No, sir, except of confession in church.” Lawyer Locke, who represented Frost, asked the court that the woman be com- mitted for perjury, and produced a copy of an application for alimony. Mrs. Collins denied that she had ever signed any paper in which there was a statement that they were married. “Are you afraid of Mr. Frost?” she was asked. “I am,” she answered. “I think he would kill me if we were to meet in a lonely spot where no one could see him do it.” She made other statements against Frost and called a colored woman to corrobo- rate what she sald, but the latter denied having heard the alleged statements. Counsel claimed that this case. was brought to influence the action of the court in_the bigamy case. Judge Kimball dismissed the charge. > -— : GEORGETOW) PENN. GAME. Two of the Three Lending College Clubs Will Cross Bats Wednesday. The game next Wednesday between Georgetown and Pennsylvania at the Georgetown campus will be probably the last opportunity for seeing the local cham- pions play in this city, as this game will close the games scheduled at present for the home grounds. It will be, no doubt, the finest game of college ball played here this season, as the teams are more evenly matched than any other teams seen here. Georgetown only succeeded in defeating Pennsylvania by a score of 7 to 6, so it would not be sur- prising if Georgetown were defeated in the return game. Pennsy’s claims for recogni- tion in the college championship race de- pend largely on the outcome of Wednes- day’s game. en REFORM SCHOOL FIRE. A Girl Admits She Attempted to Burn the Building. ¢ Mary Jackson and Alice Price, two young colored girls, clad in the uniform of the Girls’ Reform School, were arraigned to- day in Criminal Court No. 2, charged with setting fire to the school on the 22d of last month, at the time of the insurrection there by the inmates. Mary pleaded guilty, stating that she did the most of it, while Alice watched. The latter pleaded not guilty, and her trial was set down for to- morrow, Mary being remanded for sen-* tence. —_—.—__. Detaining a Letter. Chas. D. Bond, formerly a letter carrier in the city post office, today pleaded guilty of violating section 3891 of the Revised Statutes, detaining, delaying and secreting a letter addressed to Mrs. C. J. Bryan, 300 Elm street, this city, on the 19th of last March. Judge Cole sentenced him to pay a fine of $50 and $30.25 costs. The fine and costs were paid and the defendant released. ee Silver Convention in Missouri. Chairman Hall of the democratic organi- zation at Jefferson City, Mo., composed of state senators and represengatives, says that a silver convention will be called with or without the consent of the democratic state central committee. Many look supon this meve as the initial step toward launching a boom for Senator Vest for President. It is asserted that he fits the plans and specifications of Speaker Crisp’s unnamed western candidate for the presidency. Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKE MUAJUL POUCH TOBACCO. NO NERVES QUAKING.

ALL «WILL BE WELL EQUIPPED The United States Will Be Well Represented. WILL MAKE GOOD DISPLAY Four of the finest ships tn the United States navy are now on their way to Kiel to participate in the ceremonies attending the formal opening of the great. North German canal, connecting the Baltic with the North sea. They are under orders to rendezvous at Southampton not later*than June 5 and to proceed from there together in time to assist in the opening ceremonies at Kiel on the 17th proxime. The fieet will be under command of Rear Admiral Kirkland, commanding the European squadron, now consisting only of the cruis- ers San Francisco and Marblehead. Those two vessels left Algiers a few di ago where they wiil be fitted out for the Kiel celebration, Two Other Vessels. The other two vessels which will repre- sent the United States on that important occasion are the cruis New York and Columbia, which were recently detached from the North Atlantic squadron for that express purpose. The New York, which will be the flagship of the new fleet, sailed from New York for Southampton on Saturday, and the Columbia started after her from the same port this after- noon. Owing to the superior speed of the latter cruiser, with her tripte screws, the two vessels will probably reach their Joint destination about the same time. Although neither vessel will be pushed, it wiil be interesting to note their performan: on this trip over the course usually tollewed by the merchant greyhounds piying be- tween the two ports. Inasmach, however, as, they are not due at Southampton unul the Ist proximo, it is not iikely that either vessel will make any special attempt at a speed record. Coal is too expensive « com- modity to be wasted in what the officials of the avy Department term “a profit- less experiment.” Display Equipment. The superiority of display equipment of many of the foreign warships at the Co- lumbian naval celebration was a cause of no little chagrin on the part of the hosts on that occasion, and it has been decided that the American warships at Kiel shall be better equipped with holiday attire for Spectacular merry making at Kiel than as been possible heretofore. According to the present preparations, Admiral Kir land's four ships will be especially well equipped for displays at night. Each is provided with two or more powerful search lights and each will be respiendent with thousands of incandescent lights. As a special decoration each will carry before and around the pilot house an immense shield representing the American coat-of- arms, the red and white bars “and stars cn a blue background, being reproduced by electric lamps. The name of each ship will be brilliantly displayed in large electric letters running around the stern. In addition to these two speciai features, incandescent lights will be strung along each vessel's stem and stern from the water. to the deck and along the deck rail from end to end on both sides. Lights will be placed along the wa- ter line on each side, just high enough to be out of the swash, thus outlining the hull. More lights will be strung up the masts aud down the side stays and up and down and around the tops of the smokestacks. The lights will be set three feet apart and at-a distance will appear to be unbroken lines of light. There e@will be about 2,000 of these electric lights on the New York and about 1,500 on each of the other three ships. The finest display on che vessels will be the electric shield, which will be sixteen feet high and ex- tend back on either side of the pilot house, twenty-four feet. Supply of Fireworks. Ample arrangements have also been made for an appropriate display of pyro- technics. The New York and Columbia each carry a good supply of fireworks. These include aquatic works of various designs, fireworks to burn on the- water, float lights, rockets with floating festoons and magnesium and_ prismatic torrents. There are to be four Illuminations of thir- y-six lights each in red, white and blue. Set pieces will represent the German and the American arms, each fifteen feet by twelve. There is to be a grand fire por- trait of Emfperor William, twenty feet by twenty, and one of President Cleveland, whose proportions will be represented in the same space. The designs for the fire- works were made in this city. There are dozens of shells, batteries, and exhibition rockets of varied colors and effects, and there is a special motto in German text: “Herzlicher Gruss an Deutschland von den Vereinigten Staaten” (“Hearty greeting to Germany from the United States”). ee Vested Choir League. The Vested Choir League of the District of Columbia, which was recently formed from among the members of the surpliced choirs of the city, will be assembled in the choir room of St. John’s Church to- night for the purpose of perfecting the organization. A vice president and board of directors are to be elected. The follow- ing officers have been chosen: President, Rev. Clarence W. Bispham, rector of St Michael's parish; first vice president, Rev. Alfred Harding, rector of St, Paul's par- ish; musical director, Mr. W. H. Daniel, choirmaster of St. John’s choir; secretary, Mr. Donald B. MacLeod, choirmaster of St. Paul's choir; treasurer, Mr. Thomas Hyde of St. John’s Church, West Wash- ington. Bishop Paret is the honorary pa- tron of the league. At®the meeting tonight the program for the coming choral festival in the early fall will be discussed. It is proposed to render on that occasion a sa- cred work of the oratorio character, with a chorus of 300 voices. Tuesday night the members of the choir of St. Paul’s Church will go to Marshall Hall for a shad bake as the guests of Rev. Mr. Prescott, who has officiated at St. Paul's during the past winter. —— A Joint Debate. An interesting debate was held Saturday evening in the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation gymnasium between representa- tives of the literary society of the Y. M. C. A, and the Pro and Con Club. The ques- tion, “Resolved, That the peaceful annexa- tion of Cuba would be for the best inter- ests of the United States,” was discussed in the affirmative by Mr. F. D. Hyde of Nebraska, Mr. E. V. Crittenden of West Vir- ginia and Mr. M. A. Watson of California, on behalf of the Y. M. C. A., and the neg: tive by Mr. R. E. Wiley of Arkansas, Mr. G. W. Hillyer of Georgia and Mr. EB. M. Hussey of North Carolina, representing the Pro and Con Club. Ex-Civil Service Com- missioner Lyman acted as judge of the de- bate, and gave the decision to the negative. ———— Rev. Dr. Rogers’ Lecture. Rev. Dr. A. G. Rogers, pastor of the Church of Our Father, delivered last night the last of his series of illustrated sermons or lectures on “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” These talks have filled the church to over- flowing each evening, and have attracted listeners of all denominations. Dr. Rogers vill leave Washington next month to re- visit England, his old home, and to attend the testimonial to be given to his father on the occasion of the completion of half a century in the pulpit. ——— Charged With Horse Stealing. Jim, alias Reddy, Eckels was arrested in Philadelphia today and will be brought here to answer a charge of horse stealing. It is charged that he stole the horse from his employer, Elisha Bates, and sold the animal to George Hoagland, in Anacostia. It is charged that Eckels disposed of the horse, receiving an old horse and money in payment therefor, and the almost worth- less animal was left in the stable. THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

Hatley Norton of the Fidelity Building and Loan Association today ap- peared before Judge Cox for the purpos of asking the court to grant him author ity to turn over to the jurisdiction of the United States cireuit court for the eastern district of Virginia between $7,000) and $8,000, coliected by him in this Distr ‘The motion was opposed by Messrs. Wm. H. Sohon, F. L. Siddgns, and others, rep- resenting stockholders here, and the court took the matter undervadvisement. Mr. Norton expiained to the court that the home office of the association was in Alexandria, Va., and) that the Virginia court had appointed Aim receiver for it there. He assured Judge Cox that the court in Virginia would ‘divide the collect- ed moneys equally among’ those entitled to participate in such gisgribution, and he believed that the distribution under the Virginia court would not’ only be equitable, but would al: be the most convenient arrangement which could: be made. Mr. Sohon, voicing the opposition to the motion, contended that ;it should not be granted, not at least. until after the Vi ginia court had ente ,4@ decree which would assure the court here that all par- Ses here and elsewhere would share equal- ly in the proposed disttibution of the assets. = THE COURTS.

UNDER UTAH ACT. Several Cases Disposed of by Judge Kimball Today. Early this morning there was a proces- sien of colored people in the clerk’s office to get or make inquiries about marriage licen showing the work of the police in heir efforts to have them compiy with the so-called Ctah law have not been in vain. While these people were looking for some means to legalize their relations and le- sitimatize their offspring there were others less fortunate, who were locked up in the Peiice Court cells for trial. As heretofore published in The Star, the pclice have given due notice to most of these people, and many of them who have not married have been frightened, and some of the men who have been supported by women have had to break away and lcok out for themselves. There are several provisions of the law which, among other things, was no doubt passed to protect husbands and wives as well as unmarried persons. The law makes the offense against mar- Tied people more serious than against un- married ones and renders them liable to a term in the penitentiary. Judge Kimbail today disposed of some of- fenders under the law. Amelia Lee and Harvey Johnson were defendants in one case, and Lawyer Closs defended them. “They are charged under this Jaw, which is not applicable to the District,” Lawyer Closs said, “notwithstanding the fact that the Court of Appeals holds to the con- trary.” He also said that when Congress meets the law will be repealed. “Its too good a law for that,” remarked woe Pugh, “and it will never be repeal- When Policeman Muller had told his story Lawyer Closs wanted to know if he knew any white people who were liv- ing together in this way, but Judge Kim- bafl told him that the auestion of color would not enter into the case. Mr. Closs said that Judge Morris had dissented from the other judges in the spinion of the Court ef Appeals cn this law and he thought the law was not lo- caliy applicable. “I think it is,” remarkei the court, “and the number of cases brought under it is suflicient proof to sustain the helief.”” The defendants were fined $10 or thirty days each. Other Cases. Another South Washington couple, John Dcrsey and Georgie Gross, were tried. They separated four months ago, after they had engaged in a number of fights. Dorsey has a wife living, and sald he left her be- cause they could not get along together. They were discharged because of the in- sufficiency of the proof. Simjlar action was taken in the cases of Peter Comoroto and Mary Lee, John Haw- kins and Theresa Lancaster and Julius Shields and Mary Strothers. Wher Frank Brocks and Emma Jackson were culled they admitted their guilt. “I have five children,” she said, “and we have been together eight years.” Judge Miller here took occasion to re- mark that the people who seem to be least offending against the law are the ones who are getting arrested. The defendants were fined $5 each. Two other cases, involving charges of adultery and fornication, were — nolle prossed. The last case tried was one involving a cherge of adultery against Mary Jackson and Charles H. Chase. ‘They plead guilty, the woman being mar- ried and the man single. They were held in $300 security for the grand jury. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. BB S NTRY REAL ESTATE. DEATHS ATIONAL, EDU EXCURSIONS . FINANCIAL FOR EXCHANGE. FOR RENT (Flats)...

PAAR ERATKHAOAUTATNRAKEDANARAARAATR ERR R ERRATA ROE THE PUBLIC PRINTER Mr, Benedict Discusses the Patent Office Gazette Question. OPPOSES WORK BY PRIVATE FIRMS Former Experience in This Matter Not Pleasant. THE POINT IN DISPUTE “TI am here to do the printing for the gov- ernment according to the authority of the statutes. And I propose to do that print- ing without regard to cost. The question of cost does not enter into the considera- tion of the question.” So spoke Public Printer Benedict in reference to the print- ing of the Patent Office Gazette. Commis- sioner of Patents Seymcur is reported to have serious intentions of settling this vexed question by letting the work go to the lowest bidder. Mr. Benedict's Position. Public Printer Benedict is strongly op- posed, on general principles, to the giving out of government work to private firms. Speaking of this he said: “I cannot tell what the result will be in the present in- stance. I only know what it has been in similar cases in the past. Before the gov- ernment printing office was established the whole history of printing done for the gov- ernment was a long line of scandal and malevolent action against the government. It was for this reason that the government printing office was established. “Mr. Seymour apparently thinks that we are here to do cheap printing. We are here te do the printing. When I decry this word ‘cheapness’ I do not mean that we are not doing the printing economically. That is the duty of the public printer. The injunction that is on the public printer in the matter of doirg the work is this: ‘The forms and style in which the printing or binding ordered by the departments shall be executed, and the material and the size of the type to be used, shall be determined by the_public printer, having proper re- gard to ecuaomy, workmanship and the purposes for which the work is needed.” “If the purposes for which the work was needed required It to be done at such a time I would do it. It would be economy. But it might be mighty costly. I spent ten thousand doliars in labor in thirty-six hours during the close of Congress. But it prevented the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars that would have been spent on an extra session, which would have been necessary if the work had not been completed in time. Object of the Printing Office. “The government printing office was not established for the purpose of doing work cheaply. The holidays throughout the year to the employes are equal to a loss of $75,000 to the office, and the annual leave grented amounts to a loss of $225,000, mak- ing a total loss of $300,000 annually. And then Mr. Seymour speaks of reducing the cest of printing, by giving it out to the lewest bidder, perhaps something like thirty er forty thousand dollars. Mr. Seymour cannot complain of the work done here. If he wishes work done at a low rate why dces he not_employ men in his office at salaries of $700 and $800 a year, like the verious insurance, law and real estate ccmpanies do in our large cities, jnstead of $1,500 and $2,000, The statute Dreiaes that I shall pay my men so much, and I cannot increase it or diminish it one cent if I wanted to. “It will not pay a man to put in a plant in order to do the business entailed by a contract of the nature proposed, for only ene year. If you make a contract for years you might get a responsible man to put in a plant and go ahead. But it will be the same old story in this case. It will break down. = “The patent office Gazette is like a dail; newspaper. A year ago I transferred sonie eighteen compositors, because we had too many there. The foreman of the patent office division of this office today is liable to come and say to me: ‘Mr. Benedict, I want forty compositors this Monday be- cavse there is so much work come in from the patent office.’ Would Do the Work on Time. “Supposing something should happen to detain the work from the patent office get- ting down here on time, and it did not reach us until Monday, I would put the ferce on it, and work all night and have it ready for them on Tuesday at 12 o'clock noon, the same as I have always done. We are going to do the public printing, “ccme weal or come woe.’ It is immaterial to me if the Patent Office Gazette is print- ed by this office or not. If the law says I shall print it, I will do it. If not, I will put my men on something else.” In speaking of the joint committee on printing he said: “The newspapers have been’ wrong in stating that Senator Gorman constituted that joint committee. It is not so. Senator Blackburn is also on that committee; and the statement that Senator Gorman had full control, on account of his being the orly one, is, therefore, incorrect. Commissioner Seymour Won't Talk. When Commissioner Seymour was seen in the matter he said: “I do not care to say anything about it. I have the whole matter under consideration, and it will probably be settled in a few days.” —-e-___ Rexsisted Arrest. Edward Gafford, a young man who was released from the work house only a week ago because of his mother’s death, got drunk Saturday night, and today he was sent to jail. While under the influence of liquor Saturday night he called at the house of Mrs. Clemmcns, No. 1425 H street, and there he met John Hopkins, a young man who was visiting Miss Clemmons. Gafford complained that John had not call- ed to see him while he was in the work house, and Hopkins, seeing he was under the influence of liquor, started to leave the house. But Gafford followed and assaulted him, and when a distress call was blown Policeman Bradley responded. Gafford then attempted to assault the officer, and the latter had to draw his pistol before the prisoner could be subdued. Judge Kimball heard the this morn- ing and fined Gafford $20 or sixty days. —— Used His Cane. Saturday night there was an exciting scene in the O street market, when Edward Burroughs, a carperter, called cn Thomas G. Hoover, a butcher, and used his cane on him. Hoover was at his stand when the carpenter called, and it is alleged that he dealt him several blows across his back before a special officer took a hand in the affair and arrested Burroughs. Policeman Gibson then took the carpenter to the po- Mce station, and Sergt. Kaucher accepted $10 collateral for his appearance in the Po- lice Court. Hoover lives on 5th street northwest between R and S§ streets, while Burroughs lives in Northeast Washington. Mrs. Hoover, it is stated, complained to Burroughs that kis wife and her husband had Leen seen togcther, and this was what caused the trouble. The case will be tried in the Police Court Thursday morning. —— Joint Debate. There was an enthusiastic joint debate Saturday evening in the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. building between the Literary Society of the Y. M. C. A. and the Pro and Con Club of this:city. The question debated was: “Resolved, That the peaceable annex- ation of Cuba would be for the best inter- ests of the United States.” Affirmative, Y¥. M. C. A. Literary Society, F. D. Hyde, Ne- braska; E. V. Crittenden, West Virginia; M. A. Watson, California. Negative, Pro and Con Club, R. E. Wiley, Arkansas; G. Hillyer, Georgia; E. M. Hussey, North Carolina. The debate was conducted with much spir- it upon both sides, and was listened to by a large audience of the friends of the two clubs. At the conclusion of the debate Miss Ida O'Neal sang a solo, after which the decision of the judge, Mr. Chas. Lyman, was rendered in favor of the negative. The Pro and Con Club are much elated over the outcome, as they had a joint debate with the ¥. M. C, A. last year and were beaten. FINANCIAL- American Security And Trust Co., 1405 G st.

They gave themselves up to the en- jcyment of the many attractions at this resort, and succeeded in passing a most delightful day, while the male members of the organization patronized the bowling alleys from start to finish, making some excellent scores in the prize bowling con- test. In the evening the Maennerchor, as- sisted by a ladies’ chorus, gave a highly en- tertaining concert. The Mikona Club also assisted in the entertainment, which was under the direction of Mr. Emil Christiant, and selections were rendered by an octet, comprising Messrs. Buchert, Mattern, Christiani, Anlauf, Schwartz, Aue, William Esher and W. Esher, jr. Both the male and female choruses were heard to ad- vantage in a number of selections, and in the grand finale the two choruses together secred a success. A number of invited guests were on the excursion, and they, with the jolly members of the organiza- tion, kept the affair going until the boat touched at the wharf in this city. oe Sent to Jali Thomas W. Jordan, the colored ex-letter carrier who was convicted several days ago of secreting and embezzling a letter in the city post office last October, today withdrew his appeal to the Court of Ap- peals. Judge Cole thereupon directed his committal to jail, to serve a sentence of ninety days. oe Stole n Horse. William Powell, a colored man, was con- victed in the Police Court of a charge of stealing a horse. The animal belonged to Mr. G. B. McCeney, who lives near Burnt Mills. He brought the horse here, so it was charged, and sold it to a man named Wil- son. Judge Miller gave him six months.
