The Golden Cross. At Mount Vernon Commandeyvy’s last meeting Noble Commander Marion F. Holderman presided. Notwithstanding the storm, there was a large attendance. A pleasant surprise was the impromptu fra- ternal visitation by a rumber of members of National Commandery, including Su- preme Representative Yates, Vice Grand Commander Mrs. Belle M. Carter, Mrs. Lillie M. Edelen, Mrs. Wood, L. R. Trem- bly, Walter F. Carter and W. L. Wilker- son. By request, Supreme Representative Yates gave a brief description of his ad- mission to the supreme commandery, and spoke of the new legislation enacted by that body at its late session. The com- on the good of the order—Miss Clara Nels iss Florence Lugenbeel and ison—had prepared in the ban- a novel repast, which they term- “hard times party,” to which the members and visitors were invited, and enjoyed with a relish. Other speeches were made by M. L. Venzble, C. G. Harrison, Noble Commander Holderman and others. The male quartet of National Command- ery, W. E. Davis, H. E. Charlton, B. A. Rothrock and A. L.

STREET OBSTRUCTIONS One Batch of the Oases Up in the Police Court. Many Merchants Go to a Higher Court —Fines Imposed on Some of Them. The police cases known as the street ob- struction cases, in which thé occupation of Public space for private purposes is charged, were called in Judge Kimball's court at noon today, and thirty-seven firms were represented. These firms are in bus- iness in all sections of the city, but most of them are in business in the vicinity of Louisiana avenue and B streets, not far from the Center Market. Butchers, hucks- ters, lumber dealers and others were among the. defendants, and some of thei plead guilty, while others plead not guilty. Those who were not represented by counsel were first tried, and Judge Kimball simply re- iterated his decision rendered some weeks ago. The United States, the judge said, owns from building line to building line, and the owners of stores cannot us? the sidewalks for business purposes in the man- ner charged. Owners of buildings certainly cannot rent even the four feet allowed to others. Some of the cases, the judge said, have gone to the upper court on a claim that possession for more than twenty years gives the right to occupy the space charged. ut, said the judge, no such doctrine can be sustained, as government property must be acquired by grant or conveyance, and not by occupation. “Do you waut fines imposed In the cases?” the court asked of Mr. Pugh. “TI think not, your honor,” answered Mr. Pugh. “All the District wants is for these people to vacate the spaces occupied.”’ The defendants in the first batch of cases Were Frank Rubertson,.George W.Bowbeer, Wm. McKenzie and Robert Lowe. Robert- son and Bowbeer are Louisiana avenue dealers, while McKenzie and Lowe are in the stone business. They were fined $25 each and were given one week in which to vacate the spaces they occupy. William Jardine was next heard, pecause he has stone on the parking. Hg makes tombstones, and the stones on the park, he claimed, are works of art. “But Congress has the right to pass upon works of art and designate ‘the places where they are to be located,” said the judge. He promised to remove the stones, and sentence was suspended, as in the other cases. Mr. Pugh next called the cases of Nich- olas T. Redman, W. H. Walker, David Notes and Gonser Gonsapo, the last men- tion@d being the keeper of a peanut stand at 10th street and Pennsylvania avenue. He thought he was not violating the law, as there are other stands in the same neighborhood and their owners were not in court. The Louisiana avenue dealers asked for time to remove their stands. “How much time do you want?" court asked. “Two months,” dealers. “That's too long,” said the judge. “I'm willing to give you a reasonable time, but that’s not reasonable.” They were given one week, and execution of sentence was susperded. Mrs. Fannie Greenapple was reported sick and her case was continued. W. H. King, Krey and Price and George A. Sheehan had vacated and their cases were nolle prossed. Lawyer W. F. Mattingly appeared in the cases of C. T. Schneider & Bro., H. L. Bis- coe and J. J. Torbert, Francis Belt and W. H. Dyer, Smith Pettits and James. Dripps, W. T. Galliher & Bro., W. A. H. Church, and Thos. P. Stephenson, E. E. Jackson & Co., and Frank Libbey and Benjamin Mil- ler. In these cases counsel. had obtained a writ of certiorari, and the cases will be heard in the upper court. Similar action will be taken in the case of Murray & Forsberg, Alfred G. Uhler and John T. Springman. There were also charges against Clayton Emrich, John C. Isel & Co., Leo. Donald- son, Lemuel Weedon, Joseph Gamble, John W. Robertson and Edward Woody. Their cases went over until Monday, because of the absence of their counsel, and warrants were sent out for several persons. who failed to respond. —_—.__ MELROSE INSTITUTE. the answered one of the Interesting Commencement Exercises at the Church of Our Father: The Church of Our Father was prettily decorated and comfortably filled last even- ing with friends and relatives of the gradu- ates of Melrose Institute, Hyattsville, the occasicn being the commencement exer- cises of that institute. The pupils filed on the platform to the music of a march, led by little Rosa Lee Carr. Misses Walbridge and Wallace played a piano duet. The salutatory was delivered by Miss Mary Carr, following which came a chorus by the class and a votal solo by Miss Mc- Ewen. Another piano duet, “Valse Bril- liante,” was given by Misses Lyon and Briscoe, followed by a récitation by Miss Fannie Whiting and a piano solo by Miss Dent. Recitations by Miss Wallace and Miss Walbridge were well received, as was also the piano solo by Miss Johnson. Miss Elizabeth Webb was the valedictorian of her class, and after her highly creditable effort prizes were awarded by Rev. Arthur S. Johns. Silver medais for punctuality were bestowed on Misses Fannie Whiting, Elizabeth Hopkins, Mary Brown, Mary Robertson, Delia Lester, Marie Gawler, Josephine Dent, Hazel Wallace, Isabella Erwin, Nannie Lyon, Elsie Jones, Margaret Carr, Edith Walbridge and Mary Carr. Silver medals for deportment were re- ceived by Misses Emily Hickey, Grace Van Loan, Mattie Ashton, Lucy Briscoe, Fannie Whiting, Emily Perry and Marie Brown of the preparatory department; Eva Moran, Delia Lester, Christine Owens, Nora Shaf- fer and Daisy Walker of the junior class; Leila Aman, Margaret Carr, Isabella Er- win, Elsie Jones, Nannie Lyon and Edith Waibridge of the middle class, and Carr and Webb of the senior class. Miss Mattie Ashton was awarded a medal for improvement in writing; Miss Grace Van Loan and Miss Emily Hickey received medals for attention and improvement in music. For the greatest number of perfect marks In dictation a medal was awarded Miss Mary Robertson. A medal for neatness was awarded Miss Josephine Dent. Miss Leila Aman was given a medal for attendance for a period of five years without missing a day. For the best sample of sewing a medal was given Miss Mary V. Robertson. Miss Mar- garet Carr received a medal for reading aloud at sight. The medals were all pre- sented by the Rev. Charles J. S. Mayo, rector of Pinkney Memorial Church at Hyattsville. a Implicates a Woman. John L. Byler, the ex-soldier, who is un- der a sentence of ten years for having stolen $1,600 from the house of Nicholas Holcer, a shoemaker, at 1212 4% street, has made a statement to Detectives Carter and Gallaher implicating a daughter-in-law of the Holcers in the robbery. When Eyler was arrested in Maryland and brought here Mrs. Holcer, whom he now implicates in the affair, ‘was called to Inspector Hol- linberger’s office, and while there she faint- ed several times and had to be sent home. Eyler denied that Mrs. Holcer had any- thing to do with the robbery, and said that he was assisted by a tramp whom he met on the railroad. Since he was given the heavy sentence he has thought the matter over and Is now anxious that somethin; may happen which will result in a reduc- tion of the sentence. The detectives heard his story three days ago and have been in consultation with Dis- trict Attorney Birney as to what had best be done. Eyler thought he could restore to the Holcers some of the stolen property and in consideration of this the officers would willingly have asked a reduction of the sentence, but they are of the opinign that none of the missing $1,000 will be re- covered and that John will serve his time. ———__ Debate for a Gold Medal. A prize debate for the Sayre gold medal will be held in the hall of Columbian Uni- versity tonight on the question: “Resolved, That under a proper extension of the Mon- roe doctrine the United States should ex- ercise a virtual supremacy over the for- elgn relations of the other American re- publics.” Sustaining the affirmative will be Messrs. C. H. Holmead, jr., and M. F. Lanza, while Messrs. S. M. Mason and Rolvix Harlan will maintain the negative. A FAST BOAT. Good Record Made on the Trial Trip =. of the Newport News. A test was made yesterday in Hampton Roads of the machinery and speed of the Newport News, the new steamer of the Washington and Norfolk Company. Gen- eral Manager John Callalfan and a number of the officers and directors of the com- pany were aboard when she glided from her wharf at Newport News and headed for the bay, amid the shrieking of tugs, the cheering and bell ringing from all sorts of craft. Capt. Geoghegan of the steamer Norfclk was in command. As she steamed past Old Point Comfort she was,saluted by the man-of-war Aflanta. The trial test was from Thimble Shoal light to Windmill light, a straight course of nearly fifty miles and return. The steamer behaved well.and developed a maximum speed of twenty-one and a half miles an hour, with an average of nineteen milcs. It is expected that with a regular crew and the machinery in better working order the steamer will average twenty miles an hour. A dinner was served aboard by the Newport News Dry Dock and Ship Building Company. The steamer will be completed and turned over to her owners about the 15th of this month, and it is the intention of the company to first make a short run down the Potomac with the stockholders of the company and a number of guests. Capt. Geoghegan of the Norfolk will be transferred to the command of the Newport News, and the first officer of the steamer Washington will succeed him as captain of the Norfolk. ee NAVAL LODGE HALL. The Grand Lodge Formally Dedicates the New Masonic Temple. The ceremonies attendant upon the dedi- eation of the new hall of Naval Lodge, F. A. A. M., at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 4th street southeast, were held last evening and were conducted by the Grand Lodge of the District. Worshipful Master M. T. Dixon opefied the lodge, after which the grand officers were admitted. They were Grand Master D. G. Dixon, Deputy Grand Master G. W. Baird, Senior Grand Warden Matthew Trimble; Junior Grand Warden S. C.° Palmer, Grand Sec- retary W. R. Singleton, Grand Treasurer Cc. C. Duncanson and Grand Chaplain C. B. Smith. During the ceremonies vocal se- lections were rendered by” Alexander Mosher, J. Henry Kaiser, Perry B. Turpin and Charles Hancock, who compose the Columbia Commandery Quartet, Mr. Will- iam T. Hutchins being the organist. After preliminary remarks by Grand Master Dix- on, Rev. A. J. Graham delivered the ora- tion, in which he graphically sketched the interesting history of Naval Ledge. He was given a vote of thanks upon conclu- sion, and, after a poem compcsed by W. T. Galliher had been read by Dr. George C. Ober, the exercises closed. Scme of those who attended and who are high in Mason- ry were Samuel R. Bond, Harry Standiford, R. W. Dunn, William E. Hamilton, Adam Gaddis, Charles W. Warren, George Har- rington, Isaac McCathran, Maurice Otter- bach, K. N. Harper, P. B. Otterbach, John A. Fuss, E. M. Boteler, E. B. Bury, Charles Stockett and George Thorn. see AMUSEMENTS, Innes’ Band Concerts.—Innes’ New York Band played to a small-sized audience in the afternoon, and to quite a large audi- ence in the evening yesterday at Convention Hall, giving the “Day at the ‘World's Fair” in the afternoon, and the ‘War and Peace” ir the evening. The former is a descriptive piece, as well as the lat- ter, and takes the hearer from a trip on the whaleback Columbus through the fair grounds and the midway, giving all the features of a day’s jaunt through the white city. The band rendered some excellent music in this performarce, as well as In the evening, two of the notable renditions being the ‘est Overture” and the “Peer |.Gyant” suite. In the evening the concert opened with the overture, “Last Days of the Terror?’ followed by a descriptive number, “A Night Off,” in which the band .Scered a decided hit. The Second Hungar- jan Rhapsody by Liszt was very well done, but the hit of the evening was The Wash- ington Times March, which the band was forced to play three times. Miss Mar- the Garrison Miner sang. the waltz aria froin ‘Romeo and Juliet,” and for an e core gave “The Last Rose of Summer.” Mr. Xanten sang Lohengrin’s Narrative in good style. The “Day at the World’s Fair” was repeated this afternoon and the “War and Peace” will be given again tonight. Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps.—The Mount Pleasant Drum Corps will give a lawn party this evening on the grounds of Mr. E. Berlinger, on Columbia road, just west of 14th street. The boys have made great arrangements for the affair, and an exceedingly enjoyable time is a: ticipated. The Victer Drum Corps and the Old Guard will be the special guests of the Mt. Pleasant boys, and both organizations will be met by the latter and escorted to the grounds. Should the weather happen to be out of sorts the affair will be post- poned to Monday evening, but such is not likely to be the case. Commander Marion T. Anderson and his staff of the Depart- ment of the Potomac, G. A. R., and the Arlington Division, No. 9, Knights of Py- thias, under command of George J. Bess- jer, will also be the guests of the popular drum corps. The boys are ordered to as- semble at 6 o'clock in old style dress uni- forms, ready for escort and other neces- sary duties. ee EXCURSIONS. Tomorrow will be the first family day this season at beautiful Biver View, a special day set apart by Capt. Randall for the little ones to enjoy country life. The ten-cent fare for cverybody that walks will be in force on the 9:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. trips. The Pentz will also leave at 6:45 p.m. for Indian Head, River View both ways. Next Saturday will be the ‘popular price” day to the de- light of the little ones and their moth- ers. ‘Tomorrow evening the steamer Macales- ter will leave her wharf at 6:30 o'clock for a delightful sail down the Potomac to In- dian Head. The cool breezes which are to be enjoyed on these trips, and the’ music by Prof. Schroeder's Band, make the even- ing one of cemfort and’ pleasure. Stops will also be made at Marshall Hall both ways. The President's troop, troop A, National Guard, realized quite a goodly sum to- ward defraying their expenses on their coming trip through Virginia by their ex- cursion last evening to Marshall Hall. When the Macalester left her wharf she was crowded by a jolly lot, who were out for fun and every one enjoyed themselves to the utmost limit. Nearly all the invita- tions issued were responded to, and the success of the affair was assured from the very start. The committee in charge of the excursion. was composed of the com- missioned officers of the troop, Capt. Har- ry Barbour, First Lieut. Charles L. Beatty and Scond Lieut. E. H. Pillsbury. Another popular moonlight trip will be made by the steamer City of Richmond to- night, ieaving the 6th street wharf at 7 fp-m. Music and dancing will be aboard the boat. About fifty miles is covered before her return, which will be made in good season. A brilliant moon will add to the pleasure of the trip. THE NATIONAL RIFLES. They Have Formally Decided to Enter the National Guard. ' As foretold in The Star, the National Rifles at a meeting last evening formally decided. to enter the District National Guard. About sixty members were in at- tendance, and the decision was unanimous. It is probable that the company will be mustered in Monday evening next. The Rifles will continue to make use of their property on G street as an armory. ‘he drill team that is to represent the crganization at the St. Louis competition July 1 to 7 next is drilling nightly, and al- ready great proficiency has been attained. —_——_—__—— The Columbian “Prep.” .

Decrense in the Hevénue of the Race Tracks Makes thé:Change Necessary. “As a decided fallingroff in the receipts of the Alexander-Islahd and St. Asaph race tracks occurredi diring the month of May, a meeting of the:stockholders of both courses was held lastenight in the offices of the Grange Camp-<Agsociation, om Penn- sylvania avenue. It qwas shown that the receipts from pool. :epms throughout the country fell off veryr nearly one-half dur- ing the past month. 4Other causes, such as racing in New York ana Latonia; made the revenue of the race tranks smaller. In con~ sideration of these causes, it was mutually decided to reduce thet purses awarded to winning horses. Hereafter there will be four purses of $150 apidce and two of $200. The second and third:money will remain as before. This chamge will take: place Monday and will doubtless be received with much dissatisfaction by the horsemen. The warfare upon the race tracks and pool sellers and the publications in Wash- ington newspapers have, it !s said, had the effect of decreasing the attendance and the gate receipts, and a change was necessary to meet the new conditions. The reduction in the purses will mean a saving of $600 per week to the tracks. cS Gen. Green Clay Smith M11. Gen. Green Clay Smith, pastor of the After Typhoid Fever Or other serious illness, many people never know what good health is. If Hood's Sar saparilla is taken these terrible results may be avoided. “Ever since I had typhoid fever, which developed into spinal and brain fever, I have suffered almost continually with rheu- matism, so severely that I could not lie down or sit in a chair any length of time. T spent much money for medicines, but all failed. My druggist recommended Hood's Sarsaparilla, and I took it. One bottle of this grand medicine helped me. I had no appetite at first, and had fallen off in weight. I. continued taking Hood's Sar- saparilla, and now have used twelve tot- tles.
