A. R., Department of the Potomac, held their mid- eummer feast at River View last Saturday evening. Many of the members were out of the city,but the following were present, New- ton M. Brooks, chief archon; Geo. E. Corsen, escribano; M. E. Urell, custodiano; Wm. Gibson, P. M. general; B. F. Hawkes, Har- tison Dingman, S. S. Burdette, J. B. Burke, §. E. Faunce and Nathan Bickford. The trip down the river was made pleasant by many reminiscerces and bright stories, and the banquet at River View was pronounced ene of the best that had been held. Toasts were drunk to the absent archons. Sprague, Royce, Alexander and Lincoln, the vice archon, and Nathan Bickford hap- pily responded to the toast to the “Baby Archon.” At the business session a com- mittee, consisting of Messrs. Gibson, Faunce and Bickford, was appointed to report a eign, crip and password at the next sitting. The propositions to elect resident past de- partment commanders of other depart- ments to active membership and to make the soctety national were referred to the game committee. It was decided that the escribano aa the P. M. general, who had charge of tne arrangements of the sitting, had performed their duties in the most efil- cient manner, and they were complimented for the success of the affair. _————— Stock as Collateral. In a bill in equity, filed by him against the National Sgfe Deposit, Savings and ‘Trust Company and Albert Gleason, Wil- Mam Bruce Gray aileges that in Novem- ber, 1892, he borrowed $500 of Mr. Gleason. He gave as collateral security, he asserts, twenty shares of stock in the Cranford Paving Company of a par value of $2,000, and of an actual value of more than $3,000, and claims that Mr. Gleason subsequently deposited the stock with the trust com- any as security for loans made to him. eing desirous of payirg the amount bor- rowed from Mr. Gleason, Mr. Gray says the company refuses to deliver up the stock. He prays for a full discovery, and so prays that an injunction restraining the transfer of the stock be granted. Judge Cole granted a rule against the de- fendants returnable Friday.

Speeches Made by Those Who Fought on Both Sides During the War of the Rebellion. The Union Veteran Legion, to the num- ber of about one hundred and thirty mem- bers of R. E. Lee Camp, of the Confeder- ate Veterans of Alexandria, were the es- pecial guests of the Confederate Veterans’ Association, on their excursion to Marshall Hall last night. The band rendered excel- lent music on the way down, and as the boat touched at Alexandria the old, famil- far strains of “Dixie” floated out on the evening air. The “Johnnies” could not re- sist the temptation any longer, and cheer after cheer burst from the throats of the old soldiers, as they stood hat in hand to welcome the gtests from Alexandria.@ As soon as the Hall was reached the ma- Jority of the crowd adjourned back of the’ mfansion, where the speechmaking was to take place, although a few wended their way immediately to the dancing pavilion. Ag soon as the speaker's stand was reach- ed, Dr. Maloney, the president of the Con- federate Veterans’ Association, extended a hearty welcome to the members of the Union Veteran Legion, as, he said, a re- turn for the way in which that organiza- tion had treated his association two years before. Col. George Grindley, acting com- mander of Encampment 69, U. V. L., re- sponded and declared that these meetings of the blce and the gray were becoming a regular institution, and were doing a world of good in their way. Mr. Holmes Conrad, solicitor general of the Inlited States, was the orator of the evering. His speech was a splendid effort and he was frequently interrupted by cheers and demonstrations. of approval, beth from the blue and the gray. He spoke of the trueness and loyalty of the south- ern soldier to the country, and said that if any power entered this country the peo- ple of the north would find the people of the south in the brunt of the fight, and in the vanguard of the defenders. He also spoke of the unveiling of the monument to the confederate dead in Chicago, and the proposed New Orleans statue to Gen. Win- field S. Hancock. ‘An original poem, entitled “All Quiet of the Picket Line,” was recited by Dr. Thos. Calver, tn which the principal idea is the reunion of the blue and the gray, when “all is quiet on the picket line.” Proposed Statue to Hancock. The next speaker was Gen. Harry Heth, and he spoke on the subject of the pro- posed Hanceck statue in New Orleans. This is a pet project of his as he said that Gen. Hancock was one of his dearest friends at West Point, and then went on to tell about the plan for the collection of a fund for the consummation of the idea. He ended by telling a couple of humorous stories on Gen. Grant. Gen. Heth was followed by Maj. McDow- ell Carrington, who earned the applause of his hearers by eulogizing Stonewall Jack- gon. After Maj. Carrington’s speech, the Union Veterans’“ Legion called for three cheers and a tiger for the ex-confeder- ates. They were given with a will, and in return a genuine “rebel yell” was given forth that echoed far and wide. Secretary Herbert of the navy was among the guests on the platform, but he did not make any remarks. The speechmaking cnly lasted a short time, as each one was allowed but five minutes. After the pro- gram the audience adjourned to the danc- ing pavilion. ‘Those who had seats on the platform as the Invited guests of the association were Col. Strobo Farrow, second auditor of the Treasury Department; Col. M. E. Urell, Col. Johr A. Joyce, Judge Dungan, Major Robert Hunter, Major Halleck, Major Bis- cece, Dr. Chapman and Mr. Longstreet, son of the distinguished confederate general of that name. Those who came as invited guests from Alexandria were Capt. W. A. Smoot, grand commander of the State Con- federate Association of Virginia; Thomas Perry, Adjutant Edgar Warfield, Charles J. Wise, G. Davidson and Charles M. Davis. The officers of the Confederate Veterans’ Association who enjoyed the outing last night were: Dr. J. A. Maloney, president; Thomas G. Garrett, vice president; B. A. Bolonna, vice president; W. L. Lowd, sec- retary; R. M. Harrover, treasurer; Dr. S. E. Lewis, surgeon, Dr. J. L. Suddarth, assistant surgeon; John T. Callaghan, chairman of excursion committee; Finley Harris, Julian G. Moore of the executive committee; W. H. C. Bayly of the relief committee and Dr. Whit Hammett, Gen. Harry Heth and T. Russel Hungerford of the reception committee. Mr. R. Hun- ter, the ex-president of the association, was also present. Union Veteran Legion Delegation. Those who were among the delegation from the Union Veterans’ Legion were Gen. M. B. C. Wright, Col. Charles E. Trout- man, Lieut. Col. Geo. Grindley, Major Lewis Shutter, Chaplain E. B. Thompson, Surgeon Bernard Wagner, Capt. H. H. Specht, cfficer of the day; Charles F. Gar- rette, officer of the guard; Sergeant Major D. O'Connor, Quartermaster Sergeant W. C. Allen, Capt. M. M. Whitney, Gen. W. T. Kirby, W. H. Norton, J. M. Keogh, W. R. Peddle, M. T. Server, R. S. Fedder, J. W. T. Williams, J. H. Hendrix, W. J. Weiss, S. S. Bond and P. J. Duffy. ‘The boat left on her return trip about 10:30, and a jollier or more enjoyable party has not been carried on the river this sea- son. Old songs were indulged in by all, and the orchestra catered to the demand with such tunes as “Dixie,” “Maryland, My Maryland,” “Marching Through Georgia” ard a score of others calculated to fire the enthusiasm and memories of the old sol- dier. When Alexandria was reached a parting cheer was sent after the Alex- andrians, ard the boat proceeded on her way to Washington. Every nook and cor- ner of the 2raft was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the financial ending of the excursion was as well assured as the social feature. YOUNG BAPTISTS. Delegates to the Baltimore Conven- tion Hold a Meeting Here. Calvary Baptist Sunday school house was filled last evening with delegates to the Baptist Young People’s Union, who are on their way home from the convention in Baltimore. There were besides many Wash- ington young people there to give them a hospitable welcome. The rooms in which the exercises were held were prettily decor- ated with a profusion of flowers and palms and an elaborate display of the naticnal colors. Seated upon the platform were: P. H. Bristow, superintendent of the Calvary Baptist Sunday school, who presided; Rev. Dr. Cameron of Massachusetts, Rev. Dr. Lovett of Iowa, Dr. Stiffler of South Da- kota, Rev. Dr. C. C. Meador, Rev. W. 8. O. Thomas, Rey, Theron Outwater, Dr. R. R. West, Percy S. Foster, Miss Ella D. Mc- Lauren of Boston and Presiijeat John H. Chapman. Mr. Foster led the singing, as- sisted by Mrs. T. EB. Gilbert on the organ and Mr. Swartout on the cornet. The formal exercises were opened, after singing, with an address of welcome, Ge- livered by Rev. Dr. Cameron of Massacnu- setts, who ts filling Dr. Greene's pulpit while the latter Is away on his vacation, who said a few pleasant words to the vis- {tors. Rev. Dr. Wallace of Toronto vas then introduced, and spoKe on young peo- ple's work in Canada, and gave a graphic account of what a hold the ‘york hed taken upon the youth of that community. Rev. Dr. Stiffler of South Dakota spoke of the work among the miners of the west and the need of Christianizing influences in their midst, for they were, said he, the coming influential citizens of that section. Miss McLauren of Boston made an in- teresting talk on mission work, closed with an eloquent appeal for more of self- sacrifice on the part of the young people of this land, in order to render material aid in carrying on the work in forelsn fields. Other speakers during the evening were Rev. Dr. Lovett of Davenport, Iowa, and Rev. Dr. W. S. 0. Thomas. President John H. Chapman made a stirring talk on the significance of the young people's move- ment, and gave a review of Baptist histcry [and the difficultles which had to be over- come before affiliation with other crganiza- tlons of young people of different denom- Inations became possible. After the speaking had concluded, the visitors and guests mingled together in so- | reunion, and the echo meeting of the Baltimore convention was in every way most successful, CARPENTERS IN SESSION. A Short and Successful Strike—Efforts Toward Union. The session last night of Local Union No. 190, Brotherhood cf Carpenters and Joiners, was not so long as some that have been held in the past, but much business of importance was transacted. During the proceedings The Star was praised for its publication of matters of interest to labor organizations and friendly comments on labor. Vice President Rose presided and Mr. Echerer was secretary. About three months ago Local Union No. 190 passed the following prearcble and proposition, after the subject had been carefully investigated by a committee of the union appointed for the purpose: “Your committee having had under consideraticn the best means to be employed to increase the numerical strength of Local 190, reports as follows: We believe that an enlargement of the benefit system would so materially add to the inducements we are now able to offer that in a short while the brotherhood would absorb all inferior organizations. “At the present time there are threo unions of carpenters in this city besides our cwn; two of these pay benefits equal if not slightly larger than our own. Through this means they have not only been able to hold their ewn, but to check our growth in’ spite of our best endeavers. “The third, a subordinate of the English organization, has met a larger share of success, owing doubtless to their superior benefit system, “We are also of the opinion that it is im- possible for a local to establish and carry to a successful fssue a system of benefits that would compare favorably to that of the Amalgamated Carpenters or the Cigar Makers’ Interraticnal Union. = “We must, thereicre, look to our national organization for the ultimate protection of our craft. “We would, therefcre, recommend that Local 190 request the executive board to lay before the several local unions the fol- lowing proposition for discussion, and if they concur te instruct their delegates to the next general convention to reorganize the United Brotherhood on the following “Equalization of funds, high dues and increased benefit articularly on ac- count of work benefits. The paper was adopted by a unanimous vote, and Secretary McGuire of the execu- tive board at Philadelphia informed. Mr. McGuire replied to the communication that he was very sorry that the paper had not been received a couple of weeks sooner, as the executive board meets but once in three months. Another meeting of the board was held about July 1, and the members of Local No. 190 are daily expecting to hear that the board took favorable action on their request. C How Mr. McGuire Was Informed. During the debate last night on the pa- per, which was participated in by Messrs. Edmenston, Rose, Scherer, Heisley and others, Mr. Edmonston stated among other things that he had marked the labor news and editorial which were published in The Star of Saturday last, and mailed a copy to Secretary McGuire of the executive board, in order that he might be informed of how labor matters are progressing in Wash- ington. It was also stated during the debate that the national organization of the Brother- hood of Carpenters and Joiners now has 85,000 members, and that the increase last year, despite the hard times, was 10,000. ‘There are also $85,000 in the treasury, and it is belleved that if the proposition sub- mitted by the Washington Union is adopted by the national convention the member- ship will be doubled during the ensuing year. A Short and Successful Strike. As showing the continued increase of loy- alty on the part of members of the vari- ovs societies of organized labor toward the principles of the order, it was stated that yerterday at noon eight union stair- builders and the same number of plumb- ers walked out of the building, being ereet- ed by P. Shugrue, on 14th street near Q street northwest. because they had learned that four non-union stairbuilders had se- cured work there. Last night, howeve Mr. Shugrue discharged the non-union men and sent word-to the urion carpenters and plumbers to come back to work today, which they did this morning. It was explained that when the con- struction of the building was begun by Mr. Shugrue, Mr. Shugrue in response to a re- quest from a committee, representing or- ganized labor, promised that he would em- ploy none but union men, and, although the episode of yesterday occurred, it was believed that it was not Mr. Shugrue’s in- tention tq break his promise to the com- mittee, but that when the men applied for work they told Mr. Shugrue that they be- longed to the union. —_—_—————_ AMUSEMENTS. New National Theater.—This is the last week of the summer comedy at the Na- tional, and last night was the beginning of ft, with “All the Comforts of Home,” to be followed later in the week with “Sealed Instructions,” Thursday: “An Awful Af- fair,” Friday, and the farewell perform- ance, Saturday night, with “Barbara” and “Partners for Life.” The cast of the play Isst night was the same as the week be- fore, with the exception of the part of Au- gustus McSnaith, Mr. Winter succeeding Mr. Coote. The play went smoothly, and was quite as funny as if it were making its first appearance. Everybody was ap- plauded, of course, and, as usual, Miss Lillian Lawrence made a hit when she appeared in emoiional blue tights and the attendant paraphernalia of a comic opera singer. The audience was not a large one, though for coolness the inside of the house was preferable to the outside. Wimcdaughsis Lawn Party.—The lawn party of the Wimodaughsis opened last evening in a most auspicious manner. It is being given in the rear of the club house on I street between 13th and 14th streets, and promises to be an unqualified success in every way. The house and grounds were filled to overflowing with the friends of the organization from the opening to the clos- ing hours, and the pretty little lawn proved to be a delightfully cool place to pass away the warm hours of the evening. Hundreds of Chinese lanterns shed -a soft light over the scene, and refreshments were served fn abundance. Music was furnished for the occasion, and altogether it was one of the most enjoyable affairs that has been inaugurated for some time. An interesting talk upon the work of the Wimodaughsis was given during the evering by Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens, which was attentively lis- tened to by those gathered on the premises. Mr. George H. McDonald outdid all his feminine competitors in an orange contest, and nearly every one teck a hand in the bean-bag contest and in the matter of guessing the number of beans in a jar. A number of other pleasant features helped to pars away the time mcst enjoyably, and the many visitors went away perfectly sat- isfled with the treatment which they had received. Miss E. M. Gillett had charge of the party, and she was assisted by Mrs. Jeannétte Bradley, Miss Ada G. Dickerson, Mrs. Hannah Devce, Miss Mary H. Will- jams, Mrs. Josefa Houghton, Miss Ida Gangewer and Mrs. Katherine Lackland. The dispensing of ice cream to the guests was looked after py Miss Edith Dickerson, in which she was assisted by Miss Anna Laise, Miss Emily Nicholls, Mrs. Slater and Miss Rekha Green. Miss Helen Bolway was in charge of the lemonade well and she was kept pretty busy by the thirsty customers who thronged aro.nd her stand. The af- fair wili be kept going each evening throughout this week, and it is expected that each evening will repeat the success of the preceding one. ————— $1.25 to Baltimcre and Return via B. and O., Saturday and Sunday, July 27 end Always Tired Describes dangerous condition, because {t means that the vitality {s becoming ex- hausted by reason of impoverished blood.

MOTION OWSRRULED. = Judge Miller Refuges the Eckington’s Metion te Quash. Judge Miller late yesterday afternoon ruled against the Egkipgton and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company, or more properly speaking, its represeatatives, W. Kelsey Schoepf and Hamiltog K. Gray, on the mo- tion brought to qussh the information, charging it with occypying public property on New York avenue with trolley poles and wires for private pupgeses. After lengthy argument by Attorney John Ridout, repre- senting the company, and Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Jameg L. Pugh, the court overruled the motiog,, and the case was continued until today. The motion to quash was based on the ground that the information filed did not state facts constituting an offense against any law in force in the District of Colum- bla, and also that it did not state tacts constituting any offense the trial for which is within the jurisdiction of the Police Court. Mr. Ridout argued*that the Police Court was without jurisdiction in the case at issue, for the reason that any unlawful occupancy or obstruction of a public high- way in the District must be remedied through the United States by mandatory injunction. Judge Miller stated, after Mr. Ridout had read from several authorities in support of his point, that the United States certainly has the right to go into court as the at- torney claimed, but such does not gainsay the right of the Distrigt to do the same thing if it is authorized so to do by law. Judge Miller went on to say that the ordi- nance under which the information against the road was filed, if carried out in a log- ical sense, would prevent a person resting a bucket on the sidewalk even for a mo- ment. The question then, so said the court, is how far that ordinance is done away with by the charter, which is an act of Congress, granted to the railroad company, and also whether or not the ordinance should have been more specific in its ‘erms. In answer to a question from the court Mr. Ridout said that the charter of the company repealed the ordinance made by the corporation of Washington, so far as it concerned the occupancy of New York avenue by the Eckington road. Mr. Pugh then claimed that he could an- swer the two questions at issue, the valid- ity of the ordinance and how it was af- fected by the charter, by the very best au- thorities. He referred to the case of the District against George Munroe, and cited the opinion of Judge Cox, holding that any obstruction beyond the building line may be removed by the municipal authorities. Speaking further Mr. Pugh said that he did not argue that an act of Congress can set aside any ordinance of the District, Lut when an act is once repealed, as was the ease with the Eckington road, an ordinance covering the case may be legally enforced by the District. In sustaining the contentions of Mr. Pugh Judge Miller held that the ordinance of ibe common council and the act of Congress could operate together, and that the Dis- trict authorities could prosecute under one and the United States under the other, al- though one would prove a bar to the other if both were brought. After Mr. Ridout had intimated that he would apply for a writ of habeas * in order to secure an opinion from a court segarding the ease, Attorney Pugh announced that It was his intention lo file a new information against Messrs. Schoepf and Gray every day, and the court ad- journed. —__ PAUL WOLFF'S SUICIDE. He Was Formerly Well Known Here as ® Newspaper Correspondent. A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says that Paul Wolff, managing editor of the Waechter and Auzeiger, committed suicide in that city last night by taking morphine. Several years ago Paul Wolff came to Washington as correspondent of some of the best German papers in the country. He made many friends, and until his connec- tions here were suddeply broken off he had a very high standimg among Washington correspondents. About three years ago he left Washington. to take charge of the lead- ifg German paper of, Chitago. Shortly after his departure kis wife, whom he had left here, committed suicide. It afterward developed that ‘Wolff had another wife liv- ing and was not legally married to the one whom he had introduced to his friends in |. Washington. The exposure caused by the suicide ruined Wolff's life, which before had given promise ol great success. His health broke down and his old acquaintances dropped away from him.

A report has been circulated in England to the effect that the Duke and Duchess of York's baby, Prince Edward, is deaf and dumb. It is impossible to ascertain what amount of truth there is in the re- port. The baby is a little over a year old and fs stout and well formed. His photo- graphg do’ not exhibit a trace of mental defect, but the report of this calamity is bruited widely as a fact. He was born June 23, 1894, and may live to succeed his father,King Georges V.; his grandfather, King Albert Edward, and his great grandmother, Queen Victoria, at a remote date in the twentieth century. i a oe ad ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure.
