AFFAIRS IN_ALEXANDRIA Police Force Ohosen Last Night by the Commissioners. A Young Doctor Receives an Appotint- ment—Death on a Pleasure Trip—Other Notes. The board of police commissioners, with Acting Mayor Snowden in the chair, held another meeting last night and elected the following police force, to take office on Au- gust 1 and hold during geod behavior: James Webster, captain; James Smith, lieu- tenant; James T. Smith, Banner Young, Gecrge Jones, Gayton Arrington, Joshua Sherwood, James Howson, William Fergu- son, Keith Davis, James Griffin, William Wilkinson, James Dean, Wesley H. Atkin- son, James Hall, Frank Bettice and Jeffer- son Beach, privates. The following were elected readymen: First, Patrick Hayes; second, William E. Lyles; third, John Proc- tor, and fourth, Carey Mills. Messrs. Wil- kinson, Dean, Hall and Atkinson are new men, and take the places of Messrs. Sam- uel Ticer, W. E. Grady, Patrick Hayes and James MeCuen. The new force will give cutire satisfaction, it is thought, as it is composed of excellent material, the major- ity of the men being young and well fitted fer the positions they are to fill. ‘There were about sixty applicants in addi- tion to the members already on the force. Under the new order of things the police force now serve during good behavior, and not for two years, as was the case when they were elected by the city council. One of the reporters remarked to the ven- erable Captain Webster this morning that the force were better off now and wouldn't have to bother with courcilmen any more. “Well, said the captain, “they may be bet- ter off, but they are walking on stubble ground now all the time.” A Well-Merited Appointment. Dr. Henry R. Elliott, jr., one of Alex- andria’s most prominent and popular young men, has, by competitive examina- tion, keen appointed assistant resident phy- sician at Garfield Hospital, in Washington. Death on a Pleasure Trip. William Fleming, a well-known engineer on the Virginia Midland division of the Southern gpilway. died suddenly yesterday while returning from Colonial Beach on the steamer City of Richmond. Mr. #leming hac taken his family on the Knights of Pythias excursion, and was apparently in the best of health, and certainly in good spirits, during the trip, and it was not un- til he was nearing home that the sickness which ended in lis death overtook him. He was taken with what is supposed to have been heart disease, and died within an hour. There was no physician on the boat, but it is not thought that one would have done any good, for Mr. Fleming had knewn for some time that he was Hable to die at any time with heart disease. He was about forty-five years of age, and a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. He leaves a wife, but no chil- dren. Police Court. Squire Thompson presided in the police ccurt ,this morning and disposed of the following cases: Molly Lamb, charged with disorderly conduct, fined $5; Annie Haney, charged with disorderly conduct, dismiss- ed with a reprimand; George Ford, charg- ed with maintaining a nuisance, was dis- missed and ordered to abate the nuisance; Marshall Cheshire, charged with assaulting a child, was fined $1. A Compromise. Acting Mayor Snowden yesterday 1n- formed Mr. Sweeney, who receives the garbage fromi Washington on his farm in Maryland, just opposite this city, if he would unload the scows immediately after Jarding the city authorities would not interfere with them in the future; other- wise they would sink every scow that was left at anchor off this city. A Disorderly House. Complaint has been made to the police of a disorderly house, 113 South Lee street, between King and Prince, and the neigh- bors say that it is a disgrace to the neigh- borhood. Last night about 8 o'clock the occupants became very disorderly and a great deal of profanity was used. The police arrested Mrs. Molly Lamb and her daughter, Annie Haney, and Mrs. Lamb was fined by the mayor, while her daughter was dismissed with a reprimand. Notes.

Miles has ordered a court-martial to convene at the Washington barracks Fri- @ay for the trial of Private Thomas Gill of light battery I, on the serious charge of as- saulting an officer. The detail for the court is as follows: Capt. Fred. Fuger, fourth ar- tillery; Capt. Frank West, sixth cavalry; Capt. Walter Howe, fourth artillery; Capt. B. H. Cheever, sixth cavalry; Capt. A. B. Blocksom, sixth cavalry; Capt. F. R. Keef- er, medical department; Lieut. A. 5. Cum- mins, adjutant fourth artillery; Lieut. W. 8. Alexander, fourth artillery; Lieut. L A. Haynes, regimental quartermaster, fourth Amir Lieut. H. J. Gallagher, sixth cav- alry; Lieut. D, M. King, fourth artillery; Lieut. B. H. Hyer, sixth cavalry; Lieut. J. C. Gilmore, jr., fourth artillery, and Lieut. W. P. Stone, fourth artillery, judge advo- cate of the court. ‘The aasauit which Gill fs alleged to have committed was made upon Lieut. Birk- bimer of the fourth artillery inside the walls of the barracks, during the night of Thursday, June 20. According to the story as it has been made public, Lieut. Birk- himer was walking with his daughter, when he descried two figures, a man and @ woman. As he approached, the woman, a servant to one of the officers’ familics, ran away, but the two men in some way came to blows. The officer is a handy man with his fists, but he got the worst of the meeting, and had it not been for the In- tervention of the blacksmith might have been seriously hyt. As it was, the soldier made his escape, leaving his cap behind. By means of the cap and a roll call held at once it is said that the offense should be laid to the door of Private Gill. The court-martial is likely to be interest- ing, as Gill claims that he is not the man, and the blacksmith, too, says that he can- not positively identify him, Gill will prob- ably put up an alibi, for he says that he was out on leave at the time, and had im- bibed far too much beer to put up a good fight against such 2 man as the lieutenant, or to run fast enough to get away. It is claimed in his behalf that he never had gnything to do with Lieut. Birkhimer, and had no motive for the assault, while there are others who may have had some reason, as the officer is known as a strict discl- plinarian, and is not altogether popular with the men. —_—_—_———_+e+____ Death of Mrs. Dyrenforth. ‘The funeral of Mrs. Minna Dyrenforth, widow of Solomon Dyrenforth of Balti- more, who died at 2:20 o'clock yesterday morning, took place at 11 a.m. today from her Iate residence, 330 C street northwest. The interment will be at Baltimoge. Mrs. Dyrenforth leaves five children, all resi- dents of this city. Her sons are Mitchell, Samuel and Elias Dyrenforth, and her daughters, Esther, wife of Samuel Fried- lander, and Martha Dyrenforth. —_—>—__ Master Frank Brown a Colonel. Governor Brown of Maryland has ap- pointed his son, Master Frank Brown, fr., a colonel on his staff. The new appointee will be commissioned at once. He will be provided with a regular sta‘? colonel’s uni- form, and will hereafter accompsny the staff when the members make official visits. FITTING DEFENDER Elaborate Work on the Yacht’s Boom noon at Saratoga. VARIOUS SPORTING TOPICS —__>—__——_. NEWPORT, R. I, July 17—The yachts Defender and Colonia, in tow of the tug Hattie Palmer, arrived from Bristol at 8 o'clock this morning and dropped anchor off tite torpedo station. The weather was foggy and a light rain was falling. Capt. Haff stated that he did not expect to start for Larchmont until late this afternoon. The Defender is complete in every detail, except the berths for her crew, and these will be finished in a day or two, Capt. Nat Herreshoff did not sail on the De- fender, but will leave for Larchmont by rail this afternoon. Capt. Haff was in charge ef the yacht with half of the Defender crew, the rest of the crew being aboard the Colonia. ‘The early hour of the start was known to but few, and only a few spectators saw the hope of American yachtsmen as’she was towed outside. It was the intention of Capt. Haff to go as far as Newport in tow, as the weather was very thick and the breeze Hight. An hour after the yachts started there arrived from Boston by train a new gaff and boom for the Defender, which will be placed on her after she re- turns from Larchmont, probably the latter part of next week. The boom is 110 feet long, six feet longer than the one she now carries, and the gaff, seventy feet in length, is solid. It was said that the Defender would carry a hollow gaff. The gaff is four feet longer than the one the Defender now carries, and with the addition of the new set of sails being prepared, it is cal- culated that the speed of the yacht will be greatly increased. Capt. Herreshoff will gail the Defender in the races of New or! The Defenders Fittings. Immediately upon the arrival of the De- fender at Bristol mechanics were sent on board to finish the work Jeft undone Satur- day. Painters, upholsterers and machinists were all busily engaged, while a force of riveters examined all the plates and rivets, but found that no damage had been sus- tained during her trial Sunday. A part of the new suit of racing sails for the De- fender is to be made in Providence, even the large lofts at the Bristol works’ being unequal to the task of laying out the huge mainsail. A large hall has been engaged for the purpose, with a floor space 75 by 113 feet, and the foreman of the sailmak- ers says that the available, area will be none too large for the work” The material for the sail has already been recelved at Providence, and werk begun yesterday af- ternoon by a force of men from the Bristol lofts. Tho material of the new mainsail is not definitely known, by - is probably the Upland cotton duck, ,Ranufactured ex- Pressly for the Defejder at Arlington, Mas: , The new snit will havp a greater area than, the old, the maltigiil alone contain. oky ing 120 more yards cloth than that which was finished a manth ago. The new spinnaker will be of Irish linen, the cloths to be of twenty-two-Inch widths. In it there are 1,100 running yards, and allowing for laps and angles thete will be an area of 6,250 square feet. The,sails will be cut like the old suit, from se leach. Tho work of making the light salls has already been begun at Byistol, and the en- tire work is in charge of.Hathaway, who made the Vigiiant’s new mainsail, which set so well when first,,hoisted. The new boom for the Defender wil be hollow, and is now being made by Plepgras of Cit; Island, N, Y. It will heday feet loner more than six feet longer-than,the boom: now in use. ‘ Vigilant’s New Sails. George Gould’s yacht Vigilant arrived at the Erie basin, New York, yesterday. While at Plepgras’ dock in the morning the yacht grounded. The boat will be dry-docked and her bottom scraped. Capt. Barr, im speak- ing of the brush in which Defender and Vigitant participated on Sunday off New- port, maintained that neither yacht was jade to put forth an effort. Mr. Willard said: “At the Sandy Hook races on Saturday and Monday Vigilant will be tested. In August we will have a few days’ racing and on the 20th of this month we will par- ticipate Im the cruise of the New York Yacht Club. During that period we will probably rendezvous at Glen Cove. We will have the present sails replaced by new and better ones before we start from here. Vigilant up to this time has not the best of canvas attached to her mast.” “Have any changes been made in the crew?” i “There was no change made since the last race. All the men are Scandinavians, with the exception of Capt. Barr. We have thirty-five men on board. The officers and sallors number twenty-seven. They are all light in weight and consistently strong. A finer body of men suitabie for the work re- quired could not be found anywhere.” SARATOGA’S DAY. The Betting om the Amateurs Quick- ens Life at the Springs. SARATOGA, N. ¥., July 17.—More than the usual amount of betting upon amateur rowing matches is being done today, the opening day of the regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen. Most of the money is placed upon the results of the serjor elght-oared race and the senior double sculls. In the eights the First Bo- hemian Boat Club of New York will meet the Minnesota Boat Club of St. Paul and the Triton Boat Club of Newark. In the double sculls Van Vliet and Baltz of the Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia, the win- ners of last year’s event, will meet Fred Hawkins and Nagle of the Harlem Rowing Club. Hawkins is an old Saratogian and many of the local sports are backing him heavily. The decision of the regatta com- mittee to have the races at 3 o'clock this afternoon instead of this morning, gave all te oarsmen a chance to have a practice spin during the forenoon.

Nine Forfeits a Game to the Treasury. When the time came to call the game between the Treasury and Government Printing Office teams of the Departmental League at National Park yesterday it was found that the printers had only four men in uniform on the field. After waiting some minutes to give them a chance to get together their full team, Mr. Sneeden, who umpired the game, allowed the Treasury boys to throw nine balls over the plate, and forfeited the game to them. This puts the Treasury boys even with the Army and Navy for fourth place, with the G. P. 0.’s hopelessly in the rear. At the meeting of the Departmental’ League held last Satur- day evening it was decided that the game which was played May 20 between the Army and Navy and the Post Office De- partment, and which was won by the latter, should be declared forfeited to the Army and Navy club. It was claimed that an ineligible player was included on the P. O. D. team. The Treasury team plays the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to- morrow at National Park, and the Light Infantry start the second series with the same club Saturday. Departmental League Standing.

SOUTHERN PRODUCTS. Cotton Seed Oil and Its Offspring, Cottolene. In a previous issue of the Cultivator I called attantion to some agricultural inter- ests the south should encourage, and in the course of the article remarked “that cotton is almost the cnly resource the south relies upon for money.” This statement compre- hends cotten in all its wealth-producing power. There are many industries growing out of this standard southern product. It is especially my purpose in this article to call attention to the food properties of the cotton reed. From a ton of cotton seed there are forty gallons of cotton seed oil procured, From cotton seed oil cottolene, now recognized as a staple article of food, is made. The ingredients of which cotto- lene is composed are cotton seed oil and pressed beef suet. The propcrtion, I am told, is ab>at four-fifths cotton seed oil and one-fifth beef suet. It is the one southern product which is destined to be used gen- erally throughout the civilized world as a shortening and frying medium. It is to our interest t> promote the use of cottolene, as every dollar spent on that product lezves so much more money in the south. It is not only a substitute for lard, but it is to be preferred. We all know that a vegetable of! must be healthier and purer than animal fat; there is no fear of humor or disease in a vegetable product. The vast amount of ignorant prejudice against the use of cotton seed ofl es a food is some- times very amusing; for instance, I was recently toid of a man who said “he would not put himself on the level of a cow by eating anything made from cotton si cows were fed from cotton seed meal, getting that when he ate corn he was put- ting himself on the level of a hog, as hogs eat corn. My attention was first called to cottolene some two years ago at the Augusta expost- tion. Cakes, ple crust, biscuit, etc., short- ened with cottolene instead of lard or but- ter, were made and given to visitors to test. I partook of some of the cakes and found them very delicious. Since that time cottolene has been used in my family with perfect satisfaction. We not only find it a good substitute for lard, but for butter as well in cookirg, and fs much to be pre- ferred to the so-called “cooking butter. During the slavery days it was a common opinion among some people in the north that the southern planters fed their ne- groes on cotten seed. These friends in the nerth raised their hands in holy horror at such an “inhuman ovtrage,” never dream- ing that in the course of a few years the despised cotton seed, in the form of cotto- lene, would be used and indorsed by all the highest medical and cooking authorities throughout the county for shortaning and frying purposes instead of hog fat. It is not negroes now, but “white folks,” who are eating cotton seed. Thousands of gal- lons of cotton seed oil are shipped annually to Spain, France and Italy, there bottled and returned to us as “pure olive oil,” for which a fancy price is paid. The moral for us to learn from all this fs that this great industry has been formed from what was for years considered worth- less. I have seen thousands of bushels of cotton seed left to rot on the farm because it was not known that it could be made of any value, Therefore we should not cast aside any product of our fertile fields as of no value until we have tested its richness and adaptation to our needs. The motto which the manefacturers of cottolene have adopted is certainly very appropriate, viz., Health, Purity and Econ- omy.—Ex-Gov. W. J. Northen in Southern Cultivator of Atlanta, Georgia. After the ‘There Were 146 Reported Last Week ‘NEBEC car-load lots, at lowest market rates.

Hodge, the international educational secre- tary. This is an exhibit of the work done by students in attendance upon ight schools of the Young Men’s Christian sociation throughout the United 8tal ‘There are 836 of these night schools, with an enrollment of 22,800 students. They are all young men who are at work during the day, and the average age is twenty-three years, The exhibit shows samples of almost all kinds of mechanical and scientific work performed by these young men. The list of subjects includes electrical engineering, a = Kean onega raughting, photography, building, plumbing, wood hand drawing, tool making, stenography, bookkeeping and typewriting. Some sam- ples of drawings are shown, being designs for furniture, made by fifteen young work- men in the Grand Rapids furniture shops. They improved themselves by night study to the extent of recelving an increase of $15 per month in their wages. “One of the best classes in the whole country in mechanical drawing is in Wash- ington,” said Mr. Hodge. “The interna- tional committee are proud of the work of the Washington association, as it was seen at the international exhibit held at apone- field last May. So proud, indeed, that they secured all of that exhibit they could get and are now sending it over the try in two traveling exhibits. For the mount of room which the Washington association has at its disposal, it ts doing the largest work of any in the country, If the city would give larger facilities the results would be trebled” Mr. Hodge will con- tinue the exhibit today and tomorrow. _ HIGHER DEATH RATE. to the Health Office. ‘The death rate for the last week shows a still further increase over that of the sev- eral previous weeks. There were 146 deaths reported at the health department, of whom seventy-elght were children under five years old. Nearly one-third of all the mortality was caused by diarrhoeal dis- eases. There are no dangerous contagious, diseeses fn epidemic form throughout the city, those which have been reported being erdemic and sporadic. The effect of high temperature of the air is seen im the comparatively large number of deaths from brain, heart and kidney maladies,resulting mainly from congestions. There were eight deaths from violence, two of which were by suicide. A noticeable feature of the hygienic conditions was the unusual number of fourteen fatal cases from pneumonia and other acute lung dis- eases, resulting in all probability from the recent change from very warm to cool weather. —_——>_— HEROISM_ REWARDED. Mr. Richard Johnson Recefves a Hand- some id Medal. Mr. Richard A. Johnson, 3 son of the late E. Kurtz Johnson, has just been made the recipient of a handsome testimonial from a wealthy foreigner who has good reason to fe2l indebted to him. Some days ago Mr. Johnson was in front of the family resi- dence on Massacbusetts avenue, when a runaway team came dashing by. The driv- er had lost control of the horses and the occupants of thé carriage were in immi- nent dar ger of being thrown out and prob- ably hurt. Withcut hesitating a moment the young man rushed out into the street and threw himself at the front of the mad- dened animals and grasped the reins. He was dragged along for some distance, but finally managed to bring the horses to a stop. The occupants of the carriage were a wealthy Frenchman and his wife who were visiting in the city. The gentleman was profuse in his thanks and endeavored to present Mr. Johnson with all sorts of testimonials, but the latter managed to evade him. When the gentleman from France reached New York he had a mag- nificent gold medal made by one of the leading jewelers of that city and sent it on to the man who saved his life. Mr. Johnson is 2 popular young man and is engaged to Miss Daisy Gorman, a daughter of the Senator from Maryland. He made strenuous efforts to keep the incident of the runaway a secret, but the story finally leaked out, and now people are talking about his daring and courage.. — Postponement Granted.
