The annual excursion of Printing Press- men’s Union, No. 1, I. P. P. U., will be given to Marshali Hall tomorrow, A varied program of sports will be presented by the members of this organization, which will serve to make the day a pleas- | ant one. Many other attractions are also to be found here, and Prof. Schroeder’s Band will render choice selections all day and evening. The Concordia Athletic Club will give a family picnic at Bladensburg, Md., tomor- row. Everything has been added to make the day a comfortable cne, and the club will no doubt be accompanied by a large number of their friends. The admission will be 25 cents, excepting ladies and chil- dren, who will be admitted free. Prof. Lewis’ Brass and String Band will be in attendance. The first train will leave the Baltimore and Ohio depot 3:25 p.m. ‘The steamer Macalester carried down one of the largest crowds this season to Marshall Hall yesterday. Boating and fish- ing was indulged in by many, and, together with Prof. Schroeder’s fine music, added to the enjoyment of the trip. The last boat returned in good season with a merry crowd on board. About eight hundred people were aboard the steamer City of Richmond when she left her pier at Gth street wharf yesterday morning at 9 o’clock and sailed for Colonial Beach, where a few pleasant hours were spent. A strong northwest wind was blow- ing and the breakers lashed the shore furiously, to the utmost delight of the passengers, who weht down to get a breath of the briny water.. Quite a few were brave enough to take a swim in the turbu- lent-tossed waters, while more allowed the ocean atmosphere to fan them as they sat and strolled about the beach. The steamer returned last evening at 10:10 with a very happy party aboard, who had enjoyed the day immensely. The next trip of the steamer to Colonial Beach will be made next Sunday, June 16, leaving at BRICE Coming Democrati IN’ CONTROL in Convention WIEL PROBABLY. BE HELD LATE So That the Free Silver Flurry May Subside. THE LEGISLATIVE FIGHT Special Corresponderce of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 8, 1895. The democrats will probably hold a late convention. It will not be held earlier than the middle of August, and possibly not un- til September. A little controversy over this matter has been going on in the state committee for some time, but is now vir- tually settled in favor of Senator Brice. The free silver faction of the party wanted to have an early convention so as to take advantage of the free silver sentiment, which {s, or was until just now, quite strong in this state. Brice wants a late convention so that the free silver flurry may die a natural death, or he may have an opportunity to do some missionary work in favor of sound money. As the chairman of ‘he state central committee is a close personal and political friend of the Senator, it is easy to see that the Sen- ator’s wishes will be carried out in the mat- ter. A great change has undoubtedly taken place among the Ohio democracy on the silver coinage question in the last month. There is good reason now to believe that the democratic state convention will not declare for free silver, as it has done for the last two years. The letters of the President and of Senator Brice, together with the personal effort the latter is mak- ing against the free coinage movement, have done this. It now seems likely-that Allen W. Thur- man, who is the high priest of free coinage in Ohio, will not be allowed to go to the state convention as a delegate. There is to b> a rally of the sound money members of the party, who have not been active in this matter since the tariff has been a principal issue, and the following names are announced as among those who will head the list of prominent democrats of the state who will lead in the fight to pre- vent the party being made the tool of the free silver people again: John A. McMahon of Dayton, Allen Smalley of Upper San- dusky, Judge Seney of Tiffin, Virgil P. Kline, John A. Farley and Tom’L, Johnson of Cieveland, Lawrence T. Neal of Chilli- cothe and ex-Goyernor Campbell. In Northern Ohio. Senator Brice’s friends claim that central and western Ohio are solid for the gold standard, and that but few free silver dele- gates will come from northern Ohio. It is conceded that Hamilton county will be strong for free silver, and no attempt will be made to counteract the work done there by the Enquirer in the interest of free coinage. Col. S. K. Donavin, Senator Brice’s man- ager here, said today that by the time the state convention meets the Ohio free silver movement, which has had its origin here, and has been managed principally by the Thurmans, will be ready to be laid away with the “greenback’’|'craze that swept over the state in 1875,“and which had for its champions the very same men. Senator Brice is expected here soon to take an active part in the campaign, with a view to securing a return to the Senate. There is a much better chance for the dem- ocrats to carry the legislature than there is for-them to elect their state ticket, so that his case is by no means enirely hope- less. Republican Troubles. The republicans are having local troubles in a number of important counties, which put them in great danger Of losing them. It is quite likely that the democrats will elect their legislative ticket in Lucas, Hamilton and Franklin counties, all of which are row represented by republicans. These counties send twenty-four members to the legislature. That means a change of forty- eight votes on joint ballot. Such a change as that, with the other losses that are sure to gccur, would cost the republicans the legislature, and, consequently, the senator- ship. Congressman Paul J. Sorg has peremptor- ily declined the nomination for the gov- ernorship. He says he is a business man, and has neglected his’ business twice in the last two years to make political races fer the good of his party, and to use his own words he will not bea candidate for this or any other nomination this year, under any conditions or circumstances. This seems to be final. News comes from Hamilton, ex-Gov. Campbell's home, that a movement is on foot to make Campbell the candidate of the party for governor again. The only other name mentioned in conneciion is that of ex-Speaker R. Hysell of the Ohio house. CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 8.—A special from Upper Sandusky, Ohio, says Chair- man M. A.

Emmett, jr., the son of the late eminent German dialect comedian, at- tempted to murder his wife in San Fran- cisco Saturday night, and was prevented from executing his design only by the forc- ible interference of neighbors... Emmett had been about town all day, and in the evening returned home in a drunken condition. He and his wife nad an alterca- tion and she fled from the house. Emmett pursued her into the street and fired a pistol at her at close range. The bullet hit her temple and glanced aside. Then he caught the unfortunate woman and beat her about the face with the butt end of the gun. Two young men pulled the maddened actor from his victim and turn- ed him over to the police. Mrs. Emmett was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where she refused to allow her wounds to be examined. She had a violent attack of hysteria, and the surgeons could do nothing with her. She insisted she had not been shot, and said her husband was | too big a coward to shoot her. Mrs. Emmett is a California girl, and is known “on the stage as Emily Liton. She married Emmett about three years ago. Emmett was bailed out of jail later. His wife’s injuries are not serious. The bullet from the revolver made merely a superiicial wound. Mrs. Emmett refused to discuss her trouble with her husband. Emmett himsetf said he had no cause for shooting his wife, and attributed his deadly assault upon her to too much drink. Mrs. Emmett will probably not prosecute her husband, and the matter will be dropped. ——___+e+____ Suppesed.to Be an Error. Among the dismissals made Friday in the pension office is Mrs. F. F.

Suggestions of Correspondents on the All- “ Important Subject, A Way Pointed Out by Which the De- partments May Be Closed Legal- . ly Before 4 O'Clock. The early closing movement is gaining strength every day, and many merchants who have hitherto refrained from risking a loss of trade by putting up their shut- ters in summer before the regular hour will icin the army of progress this year and give ghemselves and their clerks a chance to secure the recreation and recuperation So necessary to a proper attention to busi- ness when that important matter is in hand. There is general regret that Secretary Merton found an almost forgotten statute which prev.nts the usual hot weather clos- ing of the government departments at 3 o'clock Saturdays, and the majority of peo- ple in this locality devoutly believe that the law would be decidedly more honored by its breach than by its observance. A correspondent, belonging to the bigger side, submits a suggestion, by the adoption of hee 8 Ss pope may, he thinks, be y closed at 3 o'clock In og eee he says: eee “Not being a lawyer, I suppose it is pre- sumption, for me to cfiticise the action Of the Hon. Secretary of Agriculture, backed up by the other wise minds that attend those very important functipns—‘cabinet meetings’—but I trust you will permit me to at least express my interpretation of tke act of March 3, 1893, which reads as follows: ““That on and after July 1, 1803, it shall be the duty of the heads of the several executive departments, in the interests of the public service, to require of all clerks and other employes, of whatever grade or class, in their respective departments, not less than seven hours of labor each day, except Sundays and days declared public holidays by law or executive order; pro- vided that the heads of the departments may, by special order, stating the reason, further extend or limit the hours of serv- ice of any clerk or employe in their de- partments respectively; but in case of ex- tension it shall be without additional com- pensation.” “Now, to take the clavse, which reads: ‘Except Sundays and days deciared public holidays by law or executive order, I should interpret it to mean that inasmuch as the executive has the power to declafe a whole day a holiday he has the right to declare _a half day a holiday; also if he has the authority to close the departments out of respect to the memory of a de- ceased officer of the government, he has the right to close them! at any other time | he deems worthy—so much for that part of the act. Reading down a little further we find these words: ‘Provided the heads of departments may, by special order, stating the reason, extend or limit the hours of service,’ which I would interpret to mean that were it for the ‘good of the service’ he could limit the hours of serv- ice. Now, Mr. Editor, it seems to me that if all the leading business men throughout this country find that by early closing on Saturdays during the heated term, it is profitable to them—getting better service from the employes therefor—the same rule should apply to the government service as well.” The Grocery Clerks. ‘The suggestion in a’communication from “A Grocery Clerk” appears to be well worthy of consideration in connettion with early closing. It says: ‘. “While reading your most valuable paper I paused at the column headed ‘Early Closing,’ and I saw where most of the business firms of the city advocated the early closing system, namely: Dry goods, shoe, furniture and jewelry stores. Now, would it be asking too much of the pro- prietors of grocery stores to close at 6 p.m.on days except Saturdays,to allow their clerks the privilege of enjoying an evening on the river, especially during the months of July and August? The present method of closing at 7 o'clock prohibits one from participating in any of -the enjoyments calculated to refresh or brighten the lives of the clerks during the warm weather. Feeling assured that The Star will favor our petition and help the cause of early closing.” —— IRISH PATRIOTS’ GRAVES. Those at Mount Olivet Cemetery Were Decorated Yesterday. Mt. Olivet cemetery was thronged with a great conccurse of people yesterday after- reon, to witness the decoration of the graves of the Irish patriots buried there. The exercises were under the auspices of the Emerald Club, and were participated in by the Hibernian Rifles, company B, fourth battalion, D. C. N. G., officered by Capt. John M. Walsh and Lieuts. Chas. H. Danforth and D. W. Neligan; St. Peter's Commandery, No. 134, of the Knights of St. John, under Captain J. Fe Jennings, and Holy Name Commandery, No. 248, of the same order, under CaptaifP, H. Gallagher. The knights were in uniform. A proces- sion was formed at the Church of the Holy Name at 3 o'clock, and the various organi- zations marched to the cemetery headed by the drum and bugle corps of the Knights of St. John, led by Wm. A. Lusby. The first grave decorated was that of Rev. Francis E. Boyle, who died in 1882, while pastor of St. Matthew's Church. Addresses were delivered at this grave by Mr. Thos. E. Barron, president of the Emerald Clu Mr. T. P. Moran and_ Rev. Thomas J. Kervick, pastor of the Church of the Holy Name. The last named speaker referred to the Works of Fathers Walter and McNally, who rest in Mt. Olivet’s, At the grave of Thomas: Devin Reiily, the noted Irish author, a stirring address was delivered by Assistant Secretary McAdoo. Under the direction of a committee of the Emerald Club, consisting of Messrs. Matthew Healey and James Toomey, the graves of many of the noted sons of Erin who now sleep in the beautiful cemetery north of the city were strewn with flowers, Mr. Wm. L. Barrington, in speaking to a Star reporter today about Thomas Devine Reilly, said: “I remember poor Devine Reilly well, though nearly half a century has passed away since we last clasped hands. He en- tered Trinity College, Dublin, with me, in July, 1842, and for a few years I naturally saw much of him at lectures and examina- tions. He did not, however, if I recollect aright, complete his course or take his de- gree, nor did I see him for some years be- fore he was foreed to fly the country. Though so many years have passed since then, I remember his personality well. Of |.middle height, inclined to stoutness, quick and energetic in action, his face large, full and pockmarked, his eyes blue and earnest, his hair red and generally unkempt and shaggy, general appearance perhaps outre, his thoughts dwelt upon more serious sub- jects than personal adornments. His home in Dublin was in Lower Dominick street near Great Britain street, on west side. I remember it well. His father, a respecta- ble attorney, had his office there. Poor Di vine Reilly! Ireland has reaped rich con- cessions through the efforts and sacrifices he and his friends have made. => TO OPEN THE EXPOSITION. A Delegation to Invite the President to Visit Atlanta.
