W., Washington, D.C., whose portrait appears above, makes the following statement in! the spring of 1895: ‘We believe Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the best blood purifier in the market. The sales of this preparation are larger than those of any similar prep- aration. Many of our customers who formerly suffered from diseases arising from impure blood, and who have received benefit from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, speak in the highest terms of it.” Frank F. Davis. “Washington, D. C., Feb. 13, 1895." i “C.1. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: | ““Dear Sirs:—Hood’s Sarsaparilia is a ‘ good seller and seems to give entire satis- | faction to all who buy it.” C. CHRISTIANI, 484 Pennsylvania Ave. “We sell Hood’s Sarsaparilla right along. People claim it to be the best and cheapest medicine on earth. As a blood purifier it has noequal.

NO EXTRA SESSION Failure of the Income Tax Will Not Cause One, TREASURY BALANCE T0 BE INCREASED Commissioner Miller to Keep His Clerks. Until July. THE WAR TAX PAID It is almost a cértainty that there will be no extra session of Congress in conse- quence of the failure of the income tax law. Members of the administration who are undoubtedly fully acquainted with the President’s views and purposes state un- hesitatingly that an extra session of Con- gress is out of the question. Nor is there the least likelihood of another bond issue. ‘The treasury now has a balance of over $192,000,000, which is available for all pur- poses, and this amount is more likely to be increased than diminished during the next few months. It is argued that the ap- proaching fruit canning season is certain to make a largely increased demand for sugar, which, owing to the small supply on Land, must be imported. The revenues from this source are confidently expected to reach several millions, and this, added to the large amounts which very soon will begin to come in from renewed liquor li- censes, wiil largely augment the revenues, even should the customs not meet present expectations. , Increase of Revenues. All licenses expire on June 30 in each year, and, judging from last year’s reve- nues, the receipts this year from this source will exceed ‘$6,000,000, which must be paid within the next forty days. In the meantime the expenditures will be kept down to the lowest point consistent with good business principles. Until the finances of the country are fn a more satisfactory condition it is thought that the expendi- tures on account of public buildings will be limited to the actual necessities of each case. Little new work will be begun that can be safely delayed, and the ordinary running expenses of the government wiil be looked after with a _view to enforcing the utmost economy. The disbursements on acgount of pensions and interest are almost the only calls on the government that cannot be put off. Already this fiscal year the pension payments have reached nearly $130,000,000. No Divulgences Feared. No uneasiness is felt at the internal reve- nue bureau as to the danger of the con- tents of income tax returns beirg divulged by employes. Commissioner Miller in se- lecting the force of deputy collectors who handle these returns used the greatest care to employ only men of the highest char- acter, and he has no fears that any one of them would prove so recreant to the trust imposed in him as to disclose the contents of the returns. In any eyent, however, the department has no doubt but that any violations of the law as it stood can be promptly and summarily punished under the general laws, and it can be stat- ed that should any employe be detected in making pyblic any information he may have obtained while in government employ no time or expense would be spared in bringing him to justice. Notwithstanding that the law under which it was created has been wiped out, there is considerable work yet before tne income tax division in connection with the closing up of income tax maiters. There are thirty-five clerks in the division, nearly two-thirds of which number were trans- ferred from other bureaus of the Treasury Department. It is Commissioner Miller’s intention to provide for their future em- ployment, if possible, and, at any rate, to defer their dismissal until the last possible date. The probabilities ure that the division will be left intact up to the tst of July, at the earli Mr, ‘Thompson is chief of ‘the division. When it is abolished he will prob- ably be transferred to another office. Income Tax During the War. ' Commissioner Miller told a Star reporter that he had heard nothing officially of an effort being made .to secure the refund of the tax on incomes collected during the war. The laws under whi the war tax on incomes were collected were substan- tially the same, it is said, as the law which the Supreme Court has just*declared un- constitutional. The total collections from incomes ~ under the war measures were $547,000,000. Commissioner Miller said if the question was raised as to the refund of this money it would have to be dealt with by Congress. Commissioner Miller say3 that turns which have »een made y would-be taxpayers all over the country will not be returned. They are records of the govern- ment, he say. and must be retained, un- less Congr orders otherwise. Under former laws thes? returns were made pub- lic, but now ihey wiil be held sacred under lock and key, and guarded from the pub- lic as zealously as a State Department secret. the re- — ARE NOW NURSES. Graduates of the Lucy Webb Hayes Training School. Eight young women were last evening given diplomas from the Lucy Webb Hayes Nationai Training School, authorizing them to serve as nurses. The graduating exer- cises took place at McKendree M. E. Church, which was handsomely decorated for the oceasion. The graduates were Misses Minnie Benton of Kent Island, Md.; Louise E. Dew, Lansing, Mich.; Elizabeth Humphrey, Indianapolis, Ind.; M. Maud Mowbray, Newport, Del.; Kirstine Peter- sen, Frederica, Denmark; Addie Quade, Grand Ledge, Mich.; Ada Randall, Cincin- nati, Ohio, and Annie C. Roriguez, New York. Seated on the platform with them were Dr. A. L. Ames, president of the school; Mrs. Dickinson, the preceptor; Rev. Dr. Widerman, Rev. Dr. Baldwin, Rev. Dr. Canter, Rev. Luther B. Wilson and Rev. H. S. France. The program consisted of an organ pre- lude by Miss Dashiell, a soprano solo by Mrs. W. M. Wishart, contralto solo by Miss Mattie Gray, a soprano solo by Miss Eliza- beth Wahly, a paper by Miss Kirstine Petersen, with “The Spirit of Service” as a theme, and another by Miss M. Maud Mowbray, upon ‘‘The Largeness of Life.” Rev. L. B. Wilson, D. D., delivered the address to the graduates. Dr.- Ames con- ferred the eis with appropriate re- marks, and Rev. H. S. France delivered a brief address. The following deaconesses were received on probation: Leona C. Bartolet, Minnie Benton, M. Emma Robbins, Dora E. Sandy, Cartes R. Swartz, Mary E. Spence, Alice M. Wells and Lura J. Will. The deaconesses inducted were Elizabeth Humphrey, Kirstine Petersen and Ada Randall. 3 > Dentists at a Banquet. The Washington Dental Society and the Maryland Dental Association, which, for two years past have been holding joint meetings twice a year, alternating between this city and Baltimore, met together again yesterday in this city. It happened to be also the occasion of the regular monthly meeting of the local society, and after the business meeting the visitors from Bal- timore were handsomely entertained at a banquet at Freund's. Dr. J. Roland Wilson and Dr. J. Wesley Bovee was present as a speciai guest of the evening. The LBaltimoreans present were Drs. B. Holby Smith, G. Marshall Smith, T. G. Wa- ters, C. M. Sinrich and W. W. Dunbraeco. The members of the local society present were Drs. A. M. Ash, Charles Appler, A. J. Brown, J. H. P. Benson, A. D. Coby, Wil- liam L. Clarke, William R. Cogan, J. W. and S. G. Da’ W. E.

It was a poor gahe on both sides at Pittsburg yesterdayy but Washington man- aged to pile up the“thost errors. Weyhing pifched his first gpme for Pittsburg and did fairly well.

The Senators and Their Merry Glide Down the Base Bail Toboggan. “The assertion has been made and is here repeated that the Washington club will finish higher in the race this year than it did last, and all the base ball ghouls who infest the city of Washington and have in the past done so much to demoral- ize and keep at the tail end of the proces- sion the various clubs which have repre- sented the nation’s capita) shall not pre- vent the assertion from being made good. “G. H. SCHMELZ.” Thus it would seem that another source of defeat has been found. Partial umpires, wet grounds and prejudiced audiences have heretofore conspired in robbing the Sena- tors of victories, but now stay-at-home ghouls are responsible for many of the shoves down the base ball toboggan. Un- prejudiced but enthusiastic observers, however, believe that good ball playing is the surest road to base ball success. Un- questionably, games are not always won on their merits, but the best playing team, as a rule, gains the Most victories in the tong run. It is suggested that, instead of trying to find excuses for defeats in the past Man- ager Schmelz should bend all his exertions toward making improvements in the play- ing of his team for the future. He has tried many experiments, with more or less success, but one that he has not tried is to let his team play ‘the game under the direction of the captain, without attempt- ing to give*directions himself from the bench. Visiting ball players of national reputation say that the Senators could do better if they didn’t hyve to keep one eye on the pitcher and ‘the other on the bench when at the bat., ‘There are thousands of base ball enthusiasts im Washington, every one of whom is arxious that the Senators should win, but they, do not like to hear eis continual cry-of “yobbed.”” Buse; Ball Notes. Gus Schmelz cannot be blamed for yank- ing out his whiskers by the roots this year. The Senators have lost many aggravating games.—Baltimore American. uck Ewing has the best aggregation of ball players that has ever represented Cin- cinnatt. Manager Hanion of Baltimore has de- cided to allow McGraw to co home. Mac, who Is very weak, is confident that he will recover his strength more rapidly in Baiti- more than in traveling. Manager Tebeau’s illness has taken a serious turn, and it is feared that he will not be able to accompany the Clevelands on their eastern trip. Although suffering from tonsilitis he has been going to the grounds, and has contracted a serious case, that has sent him to bed, and his physicians fear that it will keep him there a week. The Baldwin-Von der Ahe case at Pitts- burg went to the jury last evening. The testimony was decidedly in Baldwin's fa- — and it is thought he will get a ver- ict. There is no foundation to stories being circulated of disorder among the Baltimore players. Their recent comparative bad Manager Hanlon asserts, due of practice and too many “Old Fathér Foutz” has returned to first base for Brooklyn and yet the bridegrooms lose. ‘They are the surprise of the season. There seems to be a proneness to shake ‘em up that demoralizes the team. No player can tell when he will be put on the bench, transferred to another position or released. This has been the case ever since Foutz took charge. Perhaps it is not the best policy 1 George Tebeau is playing a good game at first for Cleveland, but he is not Pat, and the team needs the presence of the captain badly. McGarr is still on the sick list, and Cuppy is just getting over the injury to his arm. - There is no truth in the story that there is any schism in the Boston Club due to religious matters. Manager Selee wires that everything runs smoothly, and that the trouble between McCarthy and Stivetts has been adjusted. Collins, the young right fielder, has been sold to Louisville. He is a weak hitter. A year ago today Washington had won three and lost twenty-two games, and had a percentage of .130. Today its percen- tage is .213. This year’s team is not the worst Washington has had. FAST TIME MADE. Local Homing Pigeon Fanders Have a Fine Fly of Birds. On May 18 the members of the Federa- tion of Homirg Pigeon Fanciers of Wash- ington shipped to Danville, Va. air line distance, 203 miles, 162 birds for liberation on May 19. The? liberator, Mr. Theodore Parker, telegraphéd the race secretary, Mr. Frank Reamer; “The birds liberated at 7:33 a.m.” The birds fiade a fine fly, and the average velocity was as follows: Lewis Turner’s Leather! 'Sto¢kings, 1,279 101.113 yards per minute; Geo. Tucker’s Clara C., 1,279 691.1,691 yards pér minute; L. |B. Nye’s Polly Ann, 1,25276.115 yards per minute; C. W. Boyd’s Danvillo May, 1,239 yards per minute; W. Thompson’s Marion, 1,167 yards per minute; Wm. Pickles’ Alice, 4,150 yards per minute; F. Cowsill’s Dart, 1,145 yards per minute; Geo. Pumphrey’s Andy, 1,158 yards per minute; B. Gannon’s Bluff, 1,085 yards per minute; J. Arnold's Rosalie, 917 yard§ per: fninute. Mr. Geo. Phillips reported his birds at the rooms of the federation, 1236 8th street northwest, at 2:43 p.m. ;Mr. C. Kluckhuhn had his bird at home at 12:13.34, and by the faflure of his representative to time at Mr. W. Thompson’s loft he is debarred from any interest in the race, and Mr. Thompson was compelled to catch snd show his bird at the rooms of the federa- tion. The next race of this association will take place on May 26 from Charlotte, N. C., air line distance to the Washington observatory, 326 miles. This race has been eagerly looked forward to, and quite an exciting race is expected, as it will be well contested both in number and the quality of the birds competing. Two Favorites Won. Despite the terrible weather yesterday the attendance at the Alexander Island track was very gcod and ten bookmakers did business. The track was deep in mud and water, but was not nearly so slow as it looked to be. Two favorites, three sec- ond choices and a third choice won, and it was about an even thing between the men of odds and the public. In the last race Finnwater, after a record of six consecu- tive victories, was heaten by West Side, at 3 to 1. The other winners were: Thackeray, 3 to 1; Calista, 3 to 1; Ataman, 3 to 5; Blue Bird, 7 to 2, and Eclipse, 7 to 10, Amateur Base Ball. ‘The Shamrocks have defeated the Blakes by 23 to 14 and the Capitol Hill Colts by 18 to 4.

The racing board of the League of Amer- ican Wheelmen, by 2 mail vote, has agreed to sustain the charges of violation of the amateur rules by John S. Johnson, and has accordingly expelled him from the L. A. W. Johnson has repeatedly been charged with violating the amateur rules, and has frequently been called before the L. A. W. tribunal to answer charges, but he has in- variably escaped punishment by the aid of a voluminous array of affidavits. The charges against Johnson were many. It was claimed that he disposed of his prizes for cash; that he was a party to his trainer, Eck, in extorting money from clubs for taking part in races, and, furthermore, that he failed to keep faith with clubs where he had agreed to ride, which is di- rectly contrary to the rules of the League of American Wheelmen. Johnson is reported to have denied all these allegations, Rowing a 46 Stroke. The Cornell University Henley crew has been making rapid improvement in the last few days. Both the American. ‘varsity and this year’s freshman crew are rowing in fast time, but they cannot keep up with the Henley crew cn the one-mile and 550- yard course on Cayuga lake as the Henle course. Cornell alrgady holds the world’s record for one and a half miles, and if cir- cumstances are favorable she will make a new record at Henley for the distance. The stroke Hamilton sets for the crew is about forty-six, and is one that has never been attained by any crew except Cornell on this side of the ocean. Valkyrie te Be Luunched Tomorrow. LONDON, May 22—A special dispatch from Glasgow says that Valkyrie III, the yacht bulit by the syndicate, headed by Lord Dunraven, to race this year for the America’s cup, will be launched tomorrow. She is said to be 110 feet long and to have 26 fect beam. Her dead weight is reported to amount to 300 tons, and it is stated that her lead keel weighs seventy tons. ‘The area of her mainsail Is said to be 5,000 square feet. Yale Will Not Meet Harvard. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 22—Capt. Thorne was seen and asked if anything further would be done by Yale as to the annual foot ball game with Harvard. “We regret very much,” he said, “‘that the Har- vard authorities have seen fit to take the stand indicated by their letter, as it pre- cludes any possibility of a game this fall. The matter is now settled, and Yale will not meet Harvard in foot ball this year.” — AMUSEMENTS. Academy of Music.—Weather considered, the size of the audience at the Academy of Music last night was @ marked compli- ment to the Hinrichs’ Opera Company. The occasion was chiefly noteworthy be- cause it brought the chubby little favorite, Guille, into the cast for the leading tenor role. “The Huguenots” is a vigorous test of an operatic company’s resources, and while the work of such artists as Guille, Viviani, Kronold and Miss French cannot fail to command admiration, it is to be re- gretted that the ponderousness of the opera forces the ingenuity of the management in meeting practical exigencies so con- spicuously upoa the attention of the spec- tator. Guile was received with an enthu- siasm which his popularity made expected, and which his singing justified. The purity of tone which he achieves and the power which he holds at instant command, en- ables him to accomplish those feats of vocalization which are so fetching to any audience. The abandon with which he goes full tilt at a high note, the accuracy with which he strikes it, and the easy tenacity with which he holds it, combines to make his physical deficiencies for tragic roles quite forgiveable. Kronold sang admirably, and Miss French confirmed herself in popu- lar esteem. Tonight ‘La Giaconda” will be repeated. “Pink Dominos.”—“‘The Guv’nor,” the bill being presented by Frederic Bond ' and com- pany at the Grand this week, is a decided hit and attracting large audiences. The rollicking fun of the piece “has caught the popular taste, and the play will undoubted- ly prove one of the greatest successes of the season. The underline for the fifth week of the comedy season, beginning next Monday, is the three-act farcical comedy, “Pink Dominos.” Miss Elaine, Eilson, who will be remembered by Washington theater- goers for her excellent work in Danl. Froh- man’s “Amazons” Company, will make her first appearance with the company next Monday. Emmet Guard Fete.—The fete of the Em- met Guard was postponed last evening on account of the rain. The grounds were converted ingo a lake, making it impossible for tha entertainment or any of the other features to be gone through with. This evening, however, the program will be deubled up, and so those who intended go- ing last night will not lose anything by the postponement. A cake walk will be the principal attraction this evening, and Miss Ada Rupert will also give an exhibition of fancy dancing. The Uniform Rank,Knights of Pythias, will attend in a body, escorted by the National Drum Corps. Tomorrow evening the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Knights of St. John and the Young Men's Catholic Club will attend. Mr. Patten’s Testimonial.—The testimonial benefit concert to Goldwin S. Patten, under the auspices of the Unity Club, at Masonic Temple last evening was exceedingly well attended notwithstanding the state of the weather. Mr. Patten’s recitations were all excellently rendered, and the scene from “The Belis” was remarkably effective. His version of the closet scene from “Hamlet,” in which Miss Mary T. Haywood took the part of the queen, was also intelligently given, and an abridgment of “Faust” was well received. The Imperial Banjo-Mando- lin Club rendered several selections, and Mr. G. F. Pollock gave an autoharp solo, and Miss Reichenbach, little Lottie Ray, Mr. W. H. Conley, Miss Wade and Miss Mary Helen Howe vocal solos. The quintet from ‘‘Rob Roy” was rendered by Misses Kappeler, Jeffrey, Muir and Mr. Mills and Mr. Roberts, and a male octet also sang. ‘The audience was quite enthusiastic, nearly every number being encored. The Glee Club’s Excursion.—The excur- sion of the Capital Glee and Rubenstein Clubs to Richmond, Va., next Friday, prom- ises to be a thoroughly enjoyable and suc- cessful affair. A number of people from this city have signified their intention of ccompanying the two clubs, and it is thought that the excursion will be a com- plete financial success. The fare for the rcund trip, which includes admission to the concert by the clubs, is $3, trains leaving via the C. and O. R.

Peary, at Metzerott Music Hall, tomorrow evening are selling very rapidl The lecture is to be arctic life and scenery, and there is no white woman who is able to give such a graphic account of the wonders in this part of the world as is Mrs. Peary.

The lecture will be illus- trated by over eighty lantern slide views, and that it will be interesting and instruc- tive as well is an assured fact. Manager Kernan’s Benefit.—The perform- ance at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next Monday night for the benefit of Manager Eugene Kernan, whose friends have taken this method of manifesting their esteem, will be one of the most complete variety entertainments ever witnessed in this city. A most commendable feature of the per- formance is that the program is made up entirely of professionals, a number of whom come direct from New York to par- ticipate. Among the Washingtonians to appear are the Waterbury Brothers, the refined musical artists, late of Cfeveland’s & Co. to NOTICE |: Johann Hoff has a suit enjoin them from Extract” for an Extract bot bottled in their cellars against Tarrant “Foff's Lacey are ‘words in New York City.

There will be one or two preliminary bouts each even- ing, and during the week a battle royal will be arranged. This department will be under the personal direction of Mr. F. C.
