SILVER INDORSED WITHOUT QUESTION A National Democratic Money Con- ference Demanded. THE CLOSING SCENES Special From a Staff Correspondent. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June 6—According to set program, the Illinois democratic state convention has put the democrats of the state on record as declaring for the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country, independent of action of other vations. It has gone further, and made a demand upon the national demo- cratic committee to call a general free sil- ver convention, in default of which the state organization of Ilinois will summon such a gathering. An effort to give the Altgeld state administration the indorse- ment of the free silver convention was at- tempted, but immediately abandoned in the face of strong opposition. The cou- vention was remarkable for smoothness of action up tu a certain point, and when the cause of irritation was removed all was again serene. The sound money delegates did not utter a werd in the convention. The free silver men were given full sway. There is an old farm adage: ‘Give a calf plenty of rope and it will hang Itself.” The proverb came within an ace of verification in this case. When The Star's report closed yesterday the committee cn resolutions had retired q y Gov. Altgeld. to confer, a recess being taken for that purpose, Wher the meeting ccnvened one hour later it was deemed wise to give the boys a little enthusissm to prepare them for the resoluticns. Therefore, after Judge Mc- Connell had made a careful and able ex- position of the facts in_the case for free silver, ex-Congressman Bryan of Nebraska wes called upon to furnish the oratory. His reception by the audience must have been gratifying to him. It was inspiring in its enthusiasm. He is a native of Ili- nois, and he worked the racket of “the lend of my fathers” with great effect. Mr. Bryan made 2 characteristic speech, catchy and specious, glittering with generalities, smooth sounding. but hard to define. How- ever, it was not necessary to present ar- gvuments to ais audience. Their minds were mage up, and he filled them full of that whick trey wanted most—enthusiasm. “The free cilver flood is advancing,” he said, “and when the term of presidential appointments is psst it will take in even the postmasters.”” This sentiment seemed to touch a popu- lar Illinois chord. The audience stood up in the chairs ana yelled. Then he took a shy at the President as the prince of plu- tocrats. “Had he listened to the voice of the common people you would not be in convention here today to repudiate his plu- “Give it to him,” shouted an ol] man in the gallery, amid renewed applause. He turned to Scripture to tag Mr. Carlisle. “In 1874 he was the Moses of common people. Today he is the Pharaoh's army.” (Great applause among the delegates from “Egypt,” the Southern section of the state. When he concluded there were cries of “Altgeld” from the Cook county delegates, They were all seated in one section of the hall, and could be located geographically, as well as by other signs and tokens. Fi- nally a Chicagoan moved to appoint a com- mittee to bring in Gov. Altgeld. The mo- tion was put, and a great shout of “aye” came from the Cook county delegation. The remainder of the audience was silent. No negative proposition was put by the chair- man, and‘ the one-sided result was an- nounced. ‘When the governor appeared the Chicago crowd stood up and yelled. Two-thirds of the convention remained seated and gave no applause. These were the country del- egates. The governor made a speech, in fants Representative Bryan. which he drew the usual arraignment of the masses against the classes. It did not elicit a great deal of enthusiasm, as he is not in good health, and the delivery was poor. At its conclusion some one calied for Washington Hesing, but a storm of hisses drowned the call. There were one or two perfunctory ad- dresses after this, but the crowd was get- ting tired, and clamoring for the resolu- tions. Declaration for Free Coinage. Then ex-Congressman Fithian, as chair- man of the committee on resolutions, came to the front with a report from that body. The declaration for the independent, free coinage of gold and silver was cheered by the convention in unmistakable tones. The indorsement of the state central committee in calling the convention was upheld equally as vociferously. The invitation to other state committees for a national fre> silver convention met the popular approval, and the instructions to Senator Palmer and the democratic Illinois Congressmen to vote for free coinage were received with laugh- ter and cheers. Then came an indorsement of Gov. Altgeld’s state administration, ful- some in character and at considerable length. Convention im an Uproar. This caused visible surprise in some quarters, as it was understood that the resolution had been reconsidered and would be withheld. The Chicago delegates cheer- ed this resolution loudly, but there was an ominous silence in the other portions of the hall. Mr. Fithian demanded the previous ques- tion on the resolutions, but there were loud cries of protest at this. While the chairman hesitated Secretary of State Hinrichsen rushed forward and whispered a remonstrance to Fithian, who withdrew the demand. Then one lone in- dividual from a country delegation moved to strike out the Indorsement of the state administration, A storm of indignation was immediately groused in the Chicago delegation. They were almost beside themselves with rage. One tall Bohemian or Polander mounted his chair and, brandishing his umbrella in the direction of the man who made the motion, cried: “‘T’row him out.” This was taken up, and the delegate was assailed with threats and imprecations. He held his ground without flinching, however, and when order was restored explained that he meant no disrespect to the gov- ernor. “We did not understand we were coming bere to indorse any man,” cried the dele- gate, “but we came to vote for free silver.” “That's right,” shouted the country dele- gate “If this great convention is to sound a note to the democracy of this nation in behalf of silver it should -be single and alone upon that one question.’ At this juncture Secretary of State Hin- richsen sticceeded in getting the attention of the convention. He had been quick to forecast the effect of the impolitic indorse- ment, realizing that it would brand the convention as an Altgeld movement and detract from its influence to a fatal degree. He knéw the sound money men were pray- ing for just such a thing. He earnestly begged for the withdrawal of the resolu- tion in behalf of Gov. Altgeld and the state administration, claiming. that the resolu- tion was in opposition to the governor’s wishes. His manner convinced the boys there was something in the wind, and sor- rowfully and sadly the Chicago men per- mitted the laudation of their idol to be withdrawn. “If they had adopted that it would have put the brand on the whole convention,” said a sound money man afterward. Indications are that a strong fight would have been necessary to carry it through. The Resolutions. The committee on resolutions reported the following resolutions: “Whereas silver and gold have been the principal money metals of the world: for thousands of years, and silver money is recognized and used as honest money be- tween individuals and between nations, notwithstanding the varying ratio between silver and gold; and “Whereas the demonetizing of silver has deprived the people of the free use and benefit of an invaluable and original money metal, and has increased debts and added to the burdens of the people by lowering the value of labor and labor products; and “Whereas the Constitution of the United States prohibits any state from using any- thing but gold and silver coin as a legal tender for the payment of debts, thereby recognizing that coin composed of silver or of gold 1s honest money and fit to be used as a legal tender; therefore, be it “Resolved by the democrats of Illinois, in convention assembled, That we are in favor of the use cf both gold and silver as the standard money of the United States, and demand the free and unlimited coinage of both metals at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the action of any other nation, and such coins shall be a legal tender for all debts, both public and private, and that all contracts hereafter executed for the payment of money, whether in gold or sil- ver coin, may be discharged by any money which is by law legal tender. “Resolved, That we hereby indorse the action of the democratic state central com- mittee in calling this convention, and we instruct the commfttee to carry out the will of the convention as expressed in its platform by inaugurating and carrying on a campaign of education in this state, and to thoroughly organize the democracy of the state on the lines as laid down in the platform of this convention. “Resolved, That the democratic members of Congress and members of the Senate from this state be, and they are hereby, instructed to use all honorable means to carry out the principles above enunciated.” Democratic Money Conference. There was a lengthy debate in regard to the resolution favoring an invitation to the national democratic committee to call a national monetary convention. The follow- ing resolution was finally adopted: “Resolved, That we request the demo- cratic national committee to call a conven- tion to consider the money question not later than August, 1895. If the committee refuses to call such a convention then we invite the democratic state committees of other states to take concerted action with the democratic st: committes of this state in calling suci convention.” The committe: pointed to select dele- gates at large to a national sil®er conven- tion, fn case one should be held, met im- meillately after roes3s was taken. Join P. J Hopkins of Chicago and Secretary o ate Hinrichsen were elected delegates by ac- clamation. There was more discussion, and then, on motion of Reed B. Green, George W. Fithian of Newton and Gen. Lewis B, Parsons of Clay county were chosen. The alternates selected were John Warner of Peoria, John Watson of Gales- burg, Gen. Alfred Orendorff of Springfield and L. O. Whitnell of Johnson county. The convention then adjourned. N.O.M. —__—>—— SEASIDE AND MOUNTAIN. Where to Excape the Approaching Summer Solstice. Ten miles out at sea, off Portsmouth, N. H., ts the famous Isle of Shoals, where ‘he salt breszes are eyer cool and refreshing and laden with heaith-restoring ozone. On Star Island is located the justly famous Oceanic Hotel, maraged by H. G. Marvin, and patronized by the best people in the country. The Oceanic will open June 17. Nantucket is a name to conjure comfort with in the hottest day in summer, and those who spend the hot spell on the de- lightful island ure to be envied, indeed. The leading hotels are the Nantucket and ‘he Springfield, whose respective proprietors, A. R. Sturges and C. H. Mowry, will gladly send full information regarding rates, etc., to inquirers. For perfect enjoyment and freedom from the discomforts of hot weather a trip to the White mountains is a never-failing Medicine. The pleasure of such an outing will be materially increased by a stay at the Profile House, which Is situated in the midst of the most attractive scenery in America. Taft & Greenleaf are the pro- prietors. Thoss making the trip will be wise to stop over a few days in Boston at the famous Hotel Vendome, in the fash- ionable heart of the hub. All the comforts of a home, combincd with all the conveniences of a modern ho- tel, are to be enjoyed at the Hotel Preston, Beach Bluff, Mass.. which will be opened June 17 by Proprietor F. H. Nunns. It is splendidly situated, overlooking the oc2an, and is an ideal place to spend the warm spell. Carroll Springs Sanitarium, at Forest Glen, Md., has gained a fine reputation as a comfortable resort for invalids, conval- escents and rest seekers, and continues un- der the direction of Dr. G. H. Wright. Mrs. M. J. Cplley of the Hotel Clarendon has reopened her summer hotel, the Wood- lawn, near Rockville, Md., with her soa, Mr. Will Colley, as the reskient manager. The Woodlawn is delightfully situated, and its convenient location to Washington makes it particularly desirable. he Misses Crane of Baltimore have opened the Hotel Albany, Washington Grove, Md., for the reception of summer guests. This well-known house has a fine reputation for cool rooms, good table and excellent service. ‘fhe popularity enjoyed by the Hotel Ta- koma ever since it was.opened will doubtless sed this year, as it has come under the management of Mr. Walter Burton, who is so well equipped as a practical bon- iface. The hotel is now _- open, and is reached by frequent B. and O. trains, as well as electric cars on the Brightwood line. The Ingleside, at Randolph, Md., on the Metropolitan iranch of the B. and O., is now open for guests, under the direction of Mr. Frank Repp. It is in a delightful! sit- uation, and easily accessible to those who wish to be in Washington during the day. Mr. Repp’s connection with the Ingleside assures the good character of the table. Deer Park and Oakland are so familiar in the delightful attributes and attractive features to the readers of The Evening Star that it seems almost a work of super- erogation to speak of them in connection with summer outings. The splendid hotels at both places will be this year, as hereto- fore, under the excellent management of Mr. George D. De_ Shields, and will be opened June 1895. Families who wish to spend the summer on the crest of the Alleghanies may secure cottages at either Deer Park or Oakland, furnished with all facilities for housekeeping, at from $450 to 3600 for the season. Mr. De Shields will promptly give all information about the fa- vorite mountain resorts if addressed at Cumberland, Md. Those who delight to revel in the Invigor- ating breezes of the ocean and at the same time suffer none of the discof:forts of mal de mer, can find no better place of so- journ than the Hotel Preston, Beach Blu, Mass. This establishment is conducted on first-class principles, and is provided with every modern convenience. BOYS ARE HAPPY NOW Opening of the Popular and Delightful Bathing Beach. Officer Cotter is on Dis- courses With His Accustomed Wisdom and Philosophy. Old Sol had not gone very far on his course today when a small, straggling army started in the direction of the Wash- ington monument. What it lacked in num- bers it more than made up in enthusiasm. The objective point was the bathing beach. Today it was thrown open to the public, and, as the summer resort advertisement reads, “better than ever before.” With the $1,000 appropriation granted the beach by Congress, Superintendent Stevens has worked wonders. New and commodious bath houses have been erected, a new div- ing stand put in position and an extra sup- ply of swimming trunks purchased. Last year scarcely a day went by that the de- mand for swimming suits did not exceed the supply. Officer Cotter Jolly as Usual. The first thing the small boy notices at the beach this season is a solitary little house apart from all the rest. “It's de lighthouse, Chimmie,” observed one of the boys, ‘“‘where Davie Cotter is de keeper.” “Yis, and where he will kape his weather eye on ye, ye little devil,” rejoined that worthy himself with a broad smile as’ he came from behind a bath house upon the beys. “Do you know, sur, I feel like gettin’ back to me family to be here wid the boys again,” continued the paddle king, turning to The Star reporter. “This excitement is me loife. And I love the boys and enjoy their society. Ah, give me a good boy wid just enough devil in him to make him sea- sonable. We have very little trouble now. The boys are beginning to realize I am their friend, aud if I have to use the paddle now and thin, it’s only what their parents would have me do. Yis, I know the old timers, ivery wan of ’em, and they have been coming down here tvery day for two months watching and longing for the time to come to open. Boys Want Too Much of It. “The only trouble I have is in getting the boys out of the water,” he continued. “It's great sport for them and they hate to come out, but too much bathing is worse than none at all, and so I have to strictly en- force the rule of three-quarters of an hour. Do they try to fool me? It’s amusing to see the tricks they resort to, but (with a wink) I was a boy myself wance, arrah, and I know a thing or two. When I furst came here the way I found out if a boy had been in wance wes to feel’his head. If it was wet, that settled it. The Tricky Young Rascals. “Would you believe it, sur, it wasnt a week before they was fooling me. Do you see that bunch of weeds over there. I mean the big, high bunch (indicating), well, sur, one day five boys, Wan a‘ier the other, came to me for bath houses. Surely, sez I, you boys have been in before today. Wid that I grabbed the furst wan and pulled off his cap. His head was as dry as a bone and combed and brushed so nice, ah, sir, it was beautifal. “I was sure they had been in before and rubbed my eyes for fear I was dramin’. So I lets them in andikapes me eye on them. Wan was holdin’ conversation wid a boy I had just caved out and was point- in’ to that bunch of weeds. Up the walk he comes, careless loike)and dresses. Then he sneaks over to them weeds, and I flanks him, as we uster say in the army. Would you believe it, sur, them weeds was a growin’ barber shop. The boys had a look- ing glass rigged up anda brush and comb to do the rest wid. ‘There was three boys in there barbering of each other. It was the funniest soight I iver saw.” Popularity ofthe Beach. “Do you expect a g6oé season?” “We will bate the record before the Ist of August. This Is the most popular place in the city. The ladies are finding that out, and the last two weeks of last season they flocked there.” “Is the beach safe this year?” “Surely. The heach always has been safe enough. It’s the foolish people who are not safe. You teli them not to go beyond their depth if they cannot swim, and the first thing they do is to disobey you. The beach has a gentle slope, and there is no reeson why there should be any 2ccidents if people will only exercise a little care. We propose to take just as much precau- ticn as ever, and, with a life guard in a beat and several outlooks, do our best to prevent accidents. I wish you would say in The Star,” concluded the officer, “that before the season closes we will give a grand swimming carnival. There will be prizes offered in all classes, but the con- \ testants must be patrons of the beach.”’ —-_—_ HE HAS HALLUCINATIONS. A Curious Case of Alleged Lunacy Before the Sanitary Officer. Henry C. Lovefece is the name of a col- ored man who has at least eighteen hallu- cinations, and he is now in charge of San- itary Officer Frank, who thinks he should be put away for safe keeping. Henry is probably forty years old and has paid San- itary Officer Frank several visits during the past week, and today when he called he was so much worse that he was detain- ed for an examination as to his mental con- dition. His principal object here, he said, is to bring together the Lincoln and Grant forces in order to insure success at the ,|| next election. Incidentally, he says, he ap- peared before Congress to put an end to lynchings in the south, to solve the finan- cial problem and to bring about results which will put an end to dull times. Then, too, he thinks that if President Cleveland will put some good republicans in his cab- inet it will result in the opening of factories owned by republicans and give work to the unemployed. ; “When Coxey was on his way to the capital of the nation,” said Lovefece, “I worked with the Baltimore Masonic bodies in order to prevent his being hung.” “Why would any one want to hang Cox- ey?” he was asked. “Well, they hung John Brown in a little country town,” he answered, “‘and he didn’t go near so far as did Coxey.” Henry had painted the top of his head with iodine, which he said would prevent sunstroke. He says he was employed ,in the treasury from 1871 to 1875 and that many of the clerks there now know him. ‘The police surgeons will report on his case tomorrow, —— Denth of Miss Julian Wilbur. Miss Julia A. Wilbur, a clerk for many years in the patent office; died this morning at her home, 722 8th street northwest, of influenza and results, aged eighty years. Spyung from sturdy Quaker stock, she ear- ly in life took up arms against slavery. For many years she engaged in active par- tisan labor for the cause of freedom, and was intimately associated with all ®e great anti-slavery leaders and workers of the time. The breaking out of the war brought her to Washington, where she labored long for the amelioration of the colored people, and the relief of sick and wounded soldicrs.

The con- testants were Misses McGiness, Meling, Mangan, Latjmer and Starkey, and the judges will have a hard time deciding the winner, as the ladies all acquitted them- selves nobly. Prof. Townsend, in a few well chosen words, congratulated the pupils on the high efficiency attained. The contest was inter- spersed by musio by the Immaculate Ju- venile Orchestra, and the Mardi Gras Quar- et. There were a good number of the friends of the pupils present. aes Appointed Indian Agent. John C. Keenan of Indiana has been ap- pointed Indian agent at Neah Bay agency, in Washington. SUBURBAN, NEWS ANACOSTIA. While the rain was descending in torrents, between 7 and 8 o'clock, last night and Policeman Reagan was petrolling that part of his beat which compris2s Harrison street he noticed a small boy, without coat or shoes, crouched ‘in a doorway trying to shield himself from the storm. The officer compassionately took charge of the little fellow, who proved to be the Holt shild, whom he had been reguested to arrest. Mr. Reagan took the boy to the station, where the latter gave his name as Captain Moses Holt, and said that he had no home, having been driven away from the house inhabited by his parents Tuesday night. He also said he would be entirely satisfied with any home that might be provided for him by law if the officers would get him one. A portion of the story of the home life of the Holts was told in yesterday's Star. After the boy was placed in a cell Officer Reagan learned that he had had tothing to eat during the day, and the policeman generously procured him, at his own expense, a hearty meal, which the un- fortunate boy enjoyed greatly. The boy said the night he was driven from home a kind-hearted lady in Anacostia permitted him to sleep in her carriage. Today in the Police Court the boy was turned over to Agent Lewis of the board of children’s guardians. The Woman's Home and Foreign Mis- sionary \societies of Garden Memorial Church each held a meeting in the church this afternoon. Mrs. M. P. Snell presided. By the will of Mrs. Catharine Bohrer of Washington, who died last week, Garden Memorial Church, Anacostia, inherits $100. Mr. C. O.

Night Station Keeper Middleton of the Anacostia substation, who been on leave for four days, during which time he visited relatives in Prince George’s county, Md., returned -o duty last night. Mrs. J. E. Minnix, who was thought to be recevering from a severe iliness, has had a relurse and is now again in great danger. ————— ROCKVILLE. Dr. Elisha C. Etchison of Gaithersburg district has announced himself a candidate for the Maryland house of delegates, sub- ject to the decision of the democratic pri- maries. Dr. Etchison was a member of the last legislature, is one of the members of the democratic state central committee for this county and affillates with the Gorman ring of the party. His candidacy is likely to call forth additional opposition from the independent or administration wing of the party, which may possibly culminate in an unequivocal anti-ring ticket. Many of the independents have been in favor of this ac- tion for a long time, but have been deterred from action by the plea of “harmony.” Cards have been issued for the marriage, ‘Wednesday evening, the 12th Instant, of Mr. John Maddox of this town and Miss Addie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T. Gougk: of St. Mary’s county. The marriage will take place at Our Lady’s Chapel, near the home of the bride. A number of the friends of ‘the parties from this place will be in attendance. Mrs. Ann Martin Clagett, who died Tues- day at Oakland, her home, in Frederick county, at the age of eighty-four, was a former resident of this county. Her father was tne late Honore Martin, a Frenchman, who lived here for many years. When La- fayette visited this country, after the revolutionary war, he was entertained at this place by Mr. Martin, and Mrs. Clagett, then a little child, could remember sitting on his knee and talking to him in French. The deceased lady leaves many relatives in this county. In the circuit court yesterday in the case of Chas. E. Hoover against Chas. E. Gibbs it was decided that the action of the sheriff in levying upon the goods of the defendant as a non-resident debtor, was legal and ordering that the sale be made at this place after due advertisement. The parties to the case were former residents of the Dis- trict, and a portion of the goods to be sold was formerly in Wormley’s Hotel. —_—.__ FALLS CHURCH. The case of C. L. Campbell against Du- lin, which has been pending for some time, was decided in the circuit court of this county Tuesday in favor of Campbell, Judge Nicol allowing Campbell $75. per acre for the fifteen acres of* land which were included in a survey and plat of the Dulin tract when purchased by Campbell scme years ago, but which had previously been sold to other parties. The court also allowed $50 damages in addition to the land, and $80 damages and interest from time of his purchase, for a coufty road, which had been sold throvgh the tract pre- y.ous to Campbell's purchase. This case has excited considerable interest here. Wednesday was the day of accidents in the way of runaway teams, there being three during the day. The first occurred about $ o'clock in the morning. Mr. J. A. Storm's team was frightened by the cars at West End, end ran to Broad and Wash- ington streets, 1a the center of the town, where the wagon was demolished’ against a tree and one of the horses badly injured. The driver escaped without harm. Next Mr. T. W. White's horse became fright- ened and ran come distance, throwing Mr. and Mrs, White out and injuring the lat- ter badly. The buggy was wrecked. Late in the afternoon, while Mr. A. P. Eastman was driving near the depot, his horse be- came frightened at the train just coming in and ran away, doing considerable dam- age to the buggy before being stopped. Mr. Lewis Gott, son of Dr. L. E. Gott, met with a painful accident at the depot Wednesday afternoon. He had opened a can of sardines with a knife, and as he at- tempted to throw the empty can from him the ragged edges of it caught his thumb, cutting out a large plece of the ball and otherwise lacerating it. The pain was so severe he fainted. He was taken home in a carriage by Mr. Harry Turner. —_—__ LANGDON.

Latimer, to whom the matter of filling va- cancies in the board of assessors was re- ferred to as thg legal adviser of the board, decided after carefully examining the char- ter on the subject that the board of as- sessors were not any longer in office, as their duties ceased when the assessment of 1894 was completed, consequently there was no vacancy in the board of assessors. The board of commissioners sustained Mr. Latimer’s decision, and declared that Mr. Emmons’ motion that Mr. Walker be ap- pointed to fill the vacancy in the board of assessors occasioned by Mr. Emmons being elected as a commissioner cauld not be entertained. Upon motion of R. E. White the town treasurer, W. H.
