The topic for discussion tonight before the Equal Rights Council—a colored organ- ization that recéntly acquired considerable prominence—will be the administration of affairs at the Girls’ Reform School in this city, When a revolt broke out among the inmates of the school recently and two of them were sent to prison for a term of years upon the charge of arson, the Equal Rights Council appointed a committee, of which Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, was chairman, to investigate the condition of affairs at the school. The committee made an inspection of the institution and have just.submitted their report to the council. The report submitted by the committee recites what the committee saw and heard on visiting the school, and says: “We were not impressed, from the con- versation, that the mental improvement given entitled the institution to the name school. It was insisted that the inmates were not only viclous, but dull. The hours of work are from 7 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon, and whatever study can be had between 3 and 5 p.m. is done. We failed to ask whether, after coming from the fields at 3 p.m., the prisoners have to eat their dinner and clean their dining room, and the like, before getting to their books. An hour of study each day is about the amount of mental labor, we should suppose. “In reply to questions as to discipline we were informed that the management had been accused of being entirely t& lenient with the inmates, and some who take this view had attributed the recent alleged at- .tempt to commit arson and the mutiny of certain inmates to that fact. We were expressly informed that corporal punish- ment is not allowed, and {s never resorted to; that solitary confinement and a bread and water diet are used to enforce the rules of the prison. We were taken through the prison and shown a number of the prisoners. They were by no means chetrful and easy in their manner like children of a school, nor even as much so as the prisoners of our city jail. My heart sank within me when I gazed upon a gro of them in the sewing room and begged the privilege of praying with them, which was granted. I knelt and asked Go blessing on the poor unfortunate prisoner: and their guardians. Some of the girls dropped a_tear or two as I arose from praying. We were not allowed to speak to the priscners. We were told that this was forbidden by the rules of the prison. I have talked with little children and grown nfen in the city Jail, and have becn al- lowed to pass through two or three fron doors to converse with a prisoner in his cell. I have conversed with the msane in the St. Elizabeth's Asylum and the_ma- tron has chatted pleasantly the meanwhile. as to the character of the institution and the inmates, bit here our lips were sealed. The rooms for solitary confinement were clean and well lighted. Unlike the workhouse, the jail, the in- lum and the reform’ school for boys, this institution is exclusively for col- ored persons. No colored person, however, has any connection“with the management ‘of the institution. From first to last they are all white, It would seem that as It fs the policy of the management of this in- stitution to make and preserve it as a negro prison, that it should, like the negro schools of the District, be placed in the hands of a competent negro management. that simple justice would con- much. It is but right that I te that the matron extended me ation to come out to the prison abbath day at the hour for public cede s should st an invi son service. One thing is certain, these un- | fortunate inmates need,,more than any- thing else, the grace of God in . their hearts.” Nicotine Neutralized GHEW AND SMOKE MCA It POUC TOBACCO. NO NERVES QUAKING.

INCIDENTS OF THE MARCH Camped ‘on the H ‘oric Battle- field of Bull Run. APPETITES ON THE INCREASE Washington’s crack cavalry company, the President's troop, left Washington Saturday on a long practice march through Virginia. There was a busy scene at the armory until 8:30, when Capt. H. S. Bar- bour sounded the assembly and First Sergt. R. D. Simms called the roll, to which the following troopers responded: First Lieut. L. L. Beatty, Second Lieut. E. H. Pills- bury, Quartermaster Sergt. F. § Commissary Sergt. A.H. McChesn A. W. Simpson, Corp. J. C. Taylor, Corp. R. L. Eubank, J. F. Fitzgerald, F. H. Jen- nings, T. E, Smith, Trumpeter W. E. Rey- nolds, C. R. Taylor, G. Von Dachenhausen, M. White, H. W. Carpenter, N. E. Car- penter, Ackton Basley, Gardiner, Hedrick, Lanham, Lanning, Macias, Potzmann, C. B. Smith, Rangland, Stuart, Howlett, Duif and Blush. Royally Tecated by Regulars. At Fort Myer the troop received a royal reception. Col. D. G. Gordon, commanding, had ordered out the whole squadron of four troops and the celebrated sixth cav- alry band to receive and escort the “feath- er-bed” soldiers through the military reser- vation. This was a compliment greatly ap- preciated by Capt. Barbour and lis men. ‘As the band took up the line of march fa- miliar strains of “Maryland, My Mary- A Bad Tear. land,” greeted the ear, and later, when the citizen solciers bade good-bye to their com- rades of the regular army, the band played “The Girl I Left Behind Me” and “Auld Lang Syne.” After leaving Fort Myer sev- eral stops were made along the road, af which times the benefits to be derived from the water cart of the troop were greatly appreciated by the thirsty troopers. Fairfax was reached about 3:30 p.m., and © camp officially named Camp Albert rdway. Mishaps on the March, On the march Trumpeter Blush, who has been in the navy and was more accus- tomed to the use of a marling spike than handling a horse, allowed his restive steed to hit him in the mouth, making a large gash in his upper lip. With the aid of a needle and thread, Dr. Birdsall, the troop surgeon, put the trumpeter’s mouth in such shape that he will be able to do guard duty and blow the calls. Lieut. Beatty, al- though uncertain as to his camping place the night before, was in his accustomed place when assembly sounded. His horse was somewhat restive, and before leaving the armory brought the lieutenant’s left knee cap violently against the side of a ouse. Camped on Bull Run. CAMP BATTLEVIEW, near Gainesville, Va., June Capt. Barbour and his com- mand are now encamped on the historic ground of Bull Run, and in one of the most picturesque spots in all Virginia. The camp is in a beautiful grove of old oak trees, in which, during the war, the con- federates had a hospital. Men and horses are enjoying a rest of which .both seemed in need. This is not meant to indicate for one moment that the troopers and their horses are played out, for such is far from The Commissary Department. the case. Two days’ march, however, over a distance of thirty-five miles in a hot sun would test even the endurance of a vete of Fort Myer. Capt. Barbour’s men, ho’ ever, have proved themselves equal to the occasion. On today's march the troopers halted in front of the old stone house be- tween Centerville and Gainesville, which was used as a hospital by both federals and confederates at both battles of Bull Run, The whole country surrounding the camp is of historical interest, and even at this late day some of the men have un- rthed and secured valuable relics of the war. Everybody Pleased With the Trip. Mr. W. A. Brown, on whcse picturesque grounds’ the camp is situated, has a house filled with reminders of the great strife be- tween no-th and south, and the pokers used are bayonets picked up on the battle- field. Capt. Barbour has much improved in health and is now beginning to feel like himself, as is plainly shown by the man- ner hich he superintends every little Getail of the camp. Dr. Bi I's patients are doing well and have reported to First Sergeant Simms for duty. While the doctor is anxious to dis- rgical skill, of which no one h any doubt, it 1s hoped that no more oppor- tunities will be afforded to display it. ‘The troopers have elready become quite expert in the putting up of tents and ail other details of camp life. The water cart has been indispensable, and its presence at ach halting plac the source of much play h faction to the whole command. At 5 o'clock the command enjoyed a luxurious dinner of beef stew, potatces and toma- morrow the coiumn will march to nton.

Children’s Day Exercises at Congress Street Church—Robert Chapman Struck by a Cable Car. The second presentation of the cantata “The Jolly Picnic Party” by the pupils of the Corcoran building at Curtis Hall was even more successful than the first. Grad- ed pupils only assuméd the characters, The parts were taken ds follows: “Grand- mother,” Mary Saxton; “Tot,” Mabel King; “Dot,” Nettie Layton, and “The Coach- John Gormley. he ‘Jolly Boys,’” Under the leadership of Ben Rollins, acted their, parts excellently and were rewarded: with much applause. The most amusing of all the characters were “the Brownies.” These little fellows went through their parts with such pre- cision and thelr movements were so like those of the creations of Palmer Cox that the greatest credit is due them. Miss Car- rie Stickle, “the girl who was left be- hind,” figured prominently throughout the cantata. Misses Mary Boyle, Laura Sin- clair, Gertrude Culder and dessie Hunter also took leading parts. ‘Between the first and second scenes of the cantata several select numbers were rendered by outside talent. Messrs. Gillan, Mulhall, Griffin and O’Brien sang and Miss May Crowley gave a graceful exhibition of dumbbell. manipula- tion, Miss Alice Jane Crowley presiding at the piano, The success of the entertain- ment was largely due to the energetic management of Miss Florence Gore and a corps of assisting teachers. The stage was managed by Mr. James M. Petty. After the indoor entertainment there was a lawn fete held in the school grounds. The “Jolly Picnic Party” will be repeated this week near Falls Church. ldren’s Day at Congress Street Church. Children’s day exercises were held in the Congress Street Church last evening. Beau- tiful and appropriate decorations were ar- ranged about the pulpit and windows. The Sunday school children marched into the church, headed by the primary depart- ment, the organ being played by Miss Hat- tie Proctor. The program, in charge of Mr. T. W. Grimes, was well presented. The singing was under the leadership of Director R. T. Ballard. The report of H. Clyde Grimes, the secretary, showed the school to be in a very prosperous condi- tion. There were remarks by the pastor and a double baptism. : Honored With a Degree. Rev. Walter R. Graham, the pastor of the Congress Street Methodist Protestant Church of this place, last week received the degree of doctor of divinity from Wasa- ington College, one of the oldest and most prominent institutions of learning in the state of Maryland. Prior to his appoint- ment to this city Dr. Graham was pastor for six years of the church of his denomi- nation in Chestertown, Md., where Wash ington College is located, and where many of the students, faculty and trustees of the college were attendants upon his min- istry. The degree comes to him from this institution in recognition of his ability. Early Closing Popular. ‘The people are falling in readily here with the early closing movement. The clerks have successfully elicited the con- sideration of their employers and the em- ployers of their patrons. The movement is now a general one here, every store of importance closing at 7 o'clock, and it is believed that no one will lese a cent by it. Struck by a Cable Car.

Effect of the Decision Against the ‘Whisky Trust—Former Owners Want Their Plants, CHICAGO, June 17—The anticipated at- tack on fhe Schufeldt distillery, one of the plants of the whisky trust, occurred at 1 o'clock this morning, when an armed party of a dozea men attempted to take posses- sion of the distillery. The attacking party was met by the deputy marshals, who had been placed on guard by Receiver Mc- Nulta of the trust, and after a harmless exchange of twenty-five or thirty shots the men retreated Trouble had been expected at the trust’s Cistijleries since the recent decision of the Mlinois supreme court declaring the whisky trust illegal. Several of the former owners of the various distilleries declared that un- der the decision the plants reverted to those from whom the purchases were made. Receiver McNulta promptly applied to the United States marshal for assistance, and for several days each of the distilleries has been closely guarded by armed deputy United States marshals. The Schufeldt plant is located at Chi- cago avenue and the river. The attacking party secured a large scow, and when first seen by the guards was gliding silently down the river. The deputy marshals were quietly bunched at the landing, and when the scow neared shore the men aboard were commanded to surrender. They replied with a volley of revolver shots, and the deputies promptly opened fire. Under. the hot volley the men quickly went down the river, and, reaching a landing, disappeared. The force of deputies at the plant was doubled today, in anticipation of further trouble. Who is responsible for the attack the authorities refuse to say. The Schufeldt distillery was sold to the whisky trust by the milltonaire Lynch fam- ily. One of the Lynch brothers, Thomas Lynch, jr., had been reported to have de- clared his intention of regaining possession of the distillery, and his name was fre- quently mentioned today in connection with last night's raid. The officials of the trust and the government authorities, how- ever, refused to discuss the possible con- nection of Mr. Lynch with the affair. a HENRY ROBERTS’ HALLUCINATION. He Thinks a Crowd is Following Him in Order to Kill Him, A man who gives his rame as Henry U.

When he reached the police station he seemed greatly relieved, for he thought he was safe while there. The man said that he had been followed here from Rockville. All he could tell about himself was that he was trying to keep the crowd of men from Killing him. Sanitary Officer Frank will endeavor to find the man’s relatives. a Government Receipts.

ADDRESS OF LADY HENRY SOMERSET What Has Been Done for London's Masses. THE EMPIRE THEATER WAR —_+—__ LONDON, June 17-—The nineteenth an- nval meeting of the British Woman’s Tem- perance Association opened in the City ‘Temple this morning. There was a large attendance. The principal feature of the session was the annual address of the pres- ident, Lady Henry Somerset. She said: “With us, as with our sisters across the waters, this day celebrates the completion of an epoch in our annals. The temperance question was never so vigorously alive in our country as it is today. No other great nation ever before saw a direct veto bill included in the platform of the dominant party, twice recommended from the throne and champicned by the leader of the house of commons. The strength of public senti- ment indicated by these facts marks Eng- land as the leader of national sentiment and purposed legislation among the nations of the earth. “In 1840, when Wendell Phillips and Wil- liam Lloyd Garrison, those flaming heralds of emancipation, came from Boston, Mass., as delegates to a great meeting in London, Mrs. Lucretia Mott of Philadelphia, that famove Quaker lady than whom a nobler type has never been produced on either side of the water, came with them. She, too, had been elected a delegate to the English meeting, but our sturdy Britons refused her credentials, and, because she was a weman, she was relegated to the gallery as a mere looker on, and the two brilliant American men, whose names are now im- mortal and whose work rendered the con- tinuance of African slavery impossible in the great republic, declined to sit as dele- gates with men who had shown Such in- justice, and went themselves to the gallery, with their sister, whose name—discovered in that circle of reformers—has become a star of the first magnitude in the galaxy of the great reformers. " Contrast of Half a Century. “That was fifty-five years xgo, and today we welcome a shipload of American wo- men, who are among the most thoroughly equipped ®and best-known women reform workers of the world; and the British mind is so enlarged that more thin 200 pulpits and mission halls were open to them yes- terday in ‘conservative cld London. And they will speak to thronging audiences in the largest auditoriums that the world’s capital can furnish. “They have prought with them the poly- glot petition calling for the overthrow of the legalized trade in alcoholic liquors and in opium, and insisting on an equal stand- ard of personal purity for men and women —a petition signed in fifty languages and in all the important countries of the world, and which is to be presented to the chief officers of every leading government, as it has already been to the President and Representatives of Congress in the United States. ; “The presence of such a host, represent- ing such a work, when contrasted with the gentle Quaker lady from Philadelphia, who was not allowed to enter the old-time anti-slavery convention, but could only look down on .ts proceedings from the gal- lery, gives us some idea of the distance we have come in the development of wo- man’s powers within half a century, and prophesies what her position shall be in freedom, knowledge, conscience and power ere another generation shall have unrolled the record of human destiny under the guiding hand of Christian civilization.” Reform in London. Regarding the progress of reform in Eng- land, the speaker said: “The action of the London county council cn the temperance question indicates the high-water mark of the municipal reform. The council has not retained a single license which has fallen into its hands when acquiring property. It has abandoned twenty-seven licenses at a cost of £37,000. Alcoholic drinks have been abolished by the cuuncil from the asylums and temper- ance refreshments are insisted on in the parks. “The council has, exercised a thor- ough personal control over the health, recreation and general needs of the public of, London. Its greatest public health im- provement was brought about by the main drainage committee for the purification of the Thames, and nothing proves the thor- oughness of its work better than the return of fish to the river, whose poisonous waters had proved too much for them. Nearly 1,000 acres have been added to the open spaces of London. The parks are well man- aged. Bands of music are provided through- out the summer months and every facility given for the healthful exercise of ath- letics. In the gymnasium special attention is being paid to physical exercises for girls. A municipal lodging house has been erected on sanitary principles, with baths, laundry and reading and recreation entertainments organized largely by Mrs. Leon, wife of one of the councilors. A scheme is under way for getting rid of fifteen acres of squalid slums and replacing them with good dwell- ings. The tramways are already coming under the management of the council. “he action in relation to the license of the Empire Theater has had a wholesome effect in elevating public amusement. It is hoped that pawnbroking will ere long be under the control of the council. Its com- mittee of works had ap action to do away with the ‘middlemen,’ so that labor is employed direct under fairer wages and under fairer conditions. It is expected that the supply of gas and water will ere long be controlled by the council and that the abattoirs and bakeries will be municipalized when the city and county of London shall have been amalgamated. War on Living Pictures. “The agitation against immoral living pictures (never, let it be remembered, against beautiful and pure pictures, either living or dead) has gone hand in hand with the great movement for reform in municipal politics. Indeed, they are but parts of one tremendous whole. That this is true was proved by the immediate ap- plication of our London reformers to the county council, whose action set an ex- ample of which England may be proud. ‘Those who imagine that the Empire The- ater cuts a large figure in the outworking of this problem are mistaken. The light- ning was in the air and struck the Em- pire first because in the world’s central city, it was the most influential whisper- ing gallery of the liaison which blas- phemes a pure life and makes a happy home impossible. “Our society has never done a single stroke of work that meant so much for the amelioration ef the common iot, and I hope we shall by resoluffon adopt it, by a rising vote evince our appreciation of those x0od and true White Ribbon women of whom Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant is a chief, who were first and foremost in the London crusade against immorality mas- querading under the forms of art.” _— Mail Car Demolixhed. A head-end collision occurred yesterday morning between two passenger trains on the Charleston and Savannah railroad at Yemassee, S. C. The engines were com- Fletely wrecked. Engineer William Black jumped as the collision came, breaking his leg. Four unknown colored tramps riding on the front trucks were killed. The mail car of one train was torn to shreds. Mail Clerks C. P. Croft and J. P. Beard escaped injury. The passengers were thrown about, but escaped serious injury. The wreck oc- curred through the negligence of an oper- ator in giving orders. FINANCIAL.
