People of this day and gererstion are not dis- to give things away. When, therefore, the Mount Lebanon Shakers recently stated that any ‘one could get a bottis of Digestive Cordial by call- Sng in person at their New York office, it exelted a great deal of talk. One vf the leading dailies of the metropolis sent & reporter ‘o fifid out what was meant. It de- ‘Yeloped that the preparation in question has proven beneficial in eo large a majority of csses that nine- teaths of the people who are sufficlently anxious to call for a sample find so much relief that they con- tinue the preduct’s use and tell their friends about .St. As w result a very large demand has been crented. ‘The Shakers have a long record'of success as in- yettors and thelr varlous medicinal products have always enjoyed a high reputation. The Digestive Cordial fs not only nourfshing in itself but it digests other foods when taken as directed. Sleepless nights, spots before ‘the eyes and a seuse of heaviness after eating, loss of weight and general weakness are among the common symptoms of indigestion which It promptly relieves, and it ts gratifying to know that such a positive and harm- Tess remedy as the Digestive Cordial should have at Just lwen devised. ‘The common idea about consumption fs that 1#is a lung trouble, but this Is not all. Why is it that ive gets thinner and thinner until he has wasted to a skeleton! Because the food he eats does not nourish him. It ts not digested. ‘The first sign of the appearance of consumption fs growing thin, wasting; this Is before the cough; before the expectoration. Stop the wasting and re- covery wiil follow in the Inciplent stages, and the disease will be retarded in advanced cases. jy23 Mantello Si. g 5: Photographs, {33 eed are ** 6% My friends and former 2% herewith Informed that I have re- established and opened a complete nd attractive photographie studio At 1225 F str Burchell’s.

WASHINGTON CREWS ALL IN SHAPE Crack Oarsmen From Other Cities Expected to Come. THE HANDSOME PRIZES — The three clubs of this city, the Potomaé Boat Club, the Columbia Athletic Club, and the Analcstan Boat Club, who are united for the purpose of organizing the Potomac river regatta for 1895, have fixed the date as the 2th of August. Today the com- mittee made public the first official notice of the regatta in the shape of circulars, to be sent to interested persons, and to such rowing clubs as are likely to enter the re- gatta. From among the representatives of the three clubs the officers have been selected as follows: Chairman, William M. Offley of the Potomacs; treasurer, Alexan- der Grant of the Columbias, and secretary, Louis A. Fischer of the Analostans. Com- mittee chairmen have been appointed as follows: On entries, the secretary; on board and quarters, Samuel W. Stinemetz, and reception, H. A. Benner. The program of races is such that entries will probably be sent in representing Washington at least once, and often three times in each in- stance. The races are: Fi junior single sculls; second, junior four-oared shells; third, senior four-oared shells; fourth, ju- nier ‘eight-oared shells; fifth, intermediate cight-oared shells, and sixth, light-weight four-oared shells. The Regatta Rule». The rules of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen will apply in all matters save one; the exception being that the standing of contestants may be maintained throughout the day, regardless of the out- come of the races in which they row. By allowing this exception, crews who are en- tered for one event and win it may race in another number. This will apply, of course, to the junior and senior four oars and to the junior and intermediate eights. In the latter event it is probable that all three clubs of Washington will be entered, though only in case one of the three wins the junior oared shell will a Washington representative race. Entries must be ac- companied by a check for $20 if for the eights, $15 for fours, and $5 for singles; the blanks being signed by a duly authorized officer of the club making the entry. The entrance list must give the names of the crew and spare or extra fet: not more than two spare men for the fours, nor more than four for the eights. Another rule provides that coxswains are not to weigh less than 110 pounds; with this ex- ception the option of their weight# to re- main with the clubs. It has also been de- cided that entries will be received to and including August 20, 18%, and to be ad- dressed to Louis A. Fischer, secretary of the Analostan Boat Club. Accommodations for Visiting Crews. Two very important features of aquatic sports, at least to those who intend to ac- tively participate, are the questions of ac- commodatiors and prizes. For the former the commodious boat houses will be open for the use of visiting oarsmen, who are assured of every comfort and convenience. Such adjuncts to their training, in case they arrive a few days before the regatta takes place, will be provided as far as pos- sible. It being necessary that suitable sleeping quarters at hotels be provided, as the club houses do not contain such ar- rargements, special hotel rates have been obtained for the oarsmen and their friends. In order that the visiting crews be received im a proper fashion, and that care is taken in transporting the shells to the river, a committee on reception has been organized, and will attend to these matters, if notified by mail or telegraph twenty-four hours in advance of arrival. The Course Chosen. Over the question of the course to be used there was expected to be some dis- cussion, but this was happily averted, and now there {s nothing in sight to mar the success of the regatta. The Columbia peo- ple were desirous of trying the upper course, but they gave In, and the national course is to be used. The finish of this course is at a point between the Analostan club house and Cumberland’s wharf. Start- ing from this imaginary line, all the races will be rowed three-quarters of a mile and return, excepting the eights, which will be ore and cne-half miles straight away. Spectators will find ample room for view- ing the regatta from the club houses and wharves and from pleasure craft. . The Prizes to Be Rowed For. In the senfor four-oared shells the prize to be won is The Evening Star cup. It goes without saying that this specimen of the jewelers’ art Is worth the efforts of eny fcyr men to try for, and, as the seniors of the fours are to participate in the con- some good racing may be looked for. Scme years ago Mr. Mason, a Baltimore enthusiast of the sport, donated what is known as the Mason cup. This latter trophy and the Washington Post cup be- come the property of the clubs winnins them three consecutive times. The Star cup is an annual trophy, and is now held by the Columbis Athletic Club. The Post cup is for the intermediate cight-oared shells, and is now held by the Fairmount Rowing Club of Philadelphia. ‘The Mason cup is to be contested by the junior four- oared crews, and was won last year by the Anatostans. Three rates are left unpro- vided with prizes, but beautiful silk ban- ners are to go to the winners. In each of the six races handsome medals will be awarded to the individual oarsme As soon as the trophy that is held in Phila delphia arrives here, and as quickly as the medals and banners are completed, the whole collection will be placed on exhibi- tion In some show window. Crews That Are Expected. Chairman Offley gave it as his individual opinion that the regatta of '95 will be in every way a success, particularly as all the lecal clubs have their entries and crews about selected and have them in active training. In nearly cvery local case the crews have been rowing together some time under easy training, and have only waited for the announcement of the date to get down to business. The committee are, of course, sending the notic2s to nearly all boat clubs, but are expecting at least the following gntries, many being already, in training. the junior eights from else- where, the Baltimore Athletic Club. This will be the first appearance of the Balti- more lads In‘local waters, they having only this year gone into rowing, buying out the equipment of the defunct Neptune Rowing Club of that city. The Vespers of PhiladelpFia will no doubt enter the junior eight and“the junior sin- gles. As stated before, all the locals are to be represented in the entries for the inter- mediates, though only in case a Washing- ton crew wins in the junior elghts will they compete. The Moa Club of Philadel- phia and the Arizls of Laltimore are count- ed on in the intermediate eight and juni fours, respectively. Last Sunday a mem- ber of this Ariel crew cut his foot while bathing off the club house, and this may interfere to some extent with the personnel of the crew. While the outsiders just men- tioned are looked tpon as nearly sure to come, others will probably, in a few days, signify their intention of doing likewise. DEFENDER’S SECOND VICTORY. Qver the Trisngular Thirty-Mile Course. The Defender won by ® minutes and 17 seconds over the Vigilant yesterday, as stated in a postscript of The Star. The Defender started $1 seconds in advance of the Vigilant at 11:24:30 a.m., and she fin- ished the thirty-mile triangular course at Thus the Defender's elapsed time was 4: . The following is the summery of the of- ficial time: - Start—Defender, 11:25:30; Vigilant, ll: 26:01. cate buoy—Defender, 12:57:01; Vigilant, ‘Secon buoy—Defender, 2:55:11; Vigilant, Finish—Defender, 3:45:00; Vigilant, 3:54:48. gsplopsed time—Defender, 4:19:30; Vigilant, Difference—9 minutes 17 seconds. At the start the Vigilant was etopped by @ small boat. She had the right of way, but the Defender did not give in to her. She. hoisted a protest flag. Up to a late hour at night the committee had posted no bulletin in the New York Club concerning’ their proposed action on the protest of. the Vigilant. The general idea is that Willard only went through a technical form in hoisting his protest flag, and will not claim the $200 cup unless the Vigilant has another t®y and wins it.

Although Washington outbatted Cleveland yesterday the Spiders bunched their hits and won off Stocksdale’s bases on balls.

The initial game of the new District Amateur League was played yesterday at Capitol Park before a fair-sized crowd, and resulted in a victory for the Pension Office nine by a score Of 12 to 9. A little delay was caused by the non-appearance of Bol- way and Wright of the Pensioners, but Capt. Jeager put in two of his substitutes, and game was called a little after 5 o'clock. Both teams scored in the first inning, but after that the pitchers settled down, and some sharp playing resulted. The Pen- stoners took the lead, and twice the Y. M. C. A. managed fo tle the score, but hits by Bell, Chapman’ and Harris in the ninth inning scored two runs, that settled the game in favor of the Pension Office. For the Pensioners Bell, Harris and Raab did the star playing, especially ‘Bell, who made a long running catch from short to center field. Dalton and Carr of the Y. M. C. A. distinguished themselves by some very pretty plays. The double umpire system was tried, and worked satisfactorily. This is the first game the Y. M. C. A. have played this season, but they put up a pretty stiff game with Capt. Jeager’s men, and ad them chasing the leather quite fre- quently. Mr. C. E. Marshall of the Y. M.C. A. and Capt. Jeager promise to give some fine ex- hibitions of amateur ball playing in the coming months, and yesterday’s game was The score: a good sample. PENSION OFFI RW E.

There will be a game of base ball tomor- row at National Base Ball Park between the Baltimore and Washington fire insur- ance agents. The Baltimoreans will come over in a special car, and will be met at the depot by the Washington team. They will be escorted to the grounds, and after the game a banquet will be given in their honor. The Washington nine will be made up as follows: Allen, short stop; McCor- mick, right field; Saul, first base; Under- wood, catcher; Brashears, pitcher; Belt, second base; Willson, center fleld; Grove, left field; Cross, third base, and Gaddis, Howard and Quinter, substitutes. The re- ception committee which will meet the Baltimore delegation at the depot consists of W. C. Grigsby, chairman, and Messrs. Brashears, Allen, Marlow, Cross, Quinter and Saul. The Eureka Athletic Club. ‘The managers of the Eureka Athletic Club have prepared an excellent athletic entertainment for their patrons this even- ing.” The chief event on the program Is a twenty-round bout for scientific points be- tween Johnny Van Heest of New York and Jerry Marshall of Australia, two of the cleverest men in their class in the country. They have already met once without de- termination as to which ts the better man, and the meeting this evening is expected to settle that question. Considerable interest is taken in the contest, and a large at- tendance is anticipated. On the Wheel. Sanger carried off all the honors at the Tioga bicycle races yesterday, and could not be beaten in anything in which he started. He won the mile open professional and the mite handicap professional with ease. He did not start in the five-mile pro- fessional. Pat O'Connor ran second to Sanger in every race. The one-mile open, class A, was won by W. G. Pyle, the one- mile professional scratch by Roscoe J. Brown, five-mile professional handicap by Jay Eaton and the one-mile handicap, class , by P. S. Davis. Charles H. Church did an unpaced mile in 2:15. Sanger’s time for the first race was 2:19 4-5, and for the sec- ond, 2:11. BEFORE THE POLICE COURT Lit Mamie Curtiss Did °Rbt Reform, as Sho Promithed, 25-59 * A Man Who Came ikke at the Call of thé Lord—OtheZ [Cases With the Sentences, Twenty-nine prisoref#, several of them females, were occupaktsi of the Police Court cells this morning, atid;those who had been arrested for offendingvagairst the District ordinances were métifers of the early morning procession in the lower court room. The male occupants of the cells were quiet and orderly, although, apparently, very happy, while the women indulged in conversations which would make the pro- verbial sailors’ profanity seem fit.to be heard in almost any place. There was one white woman in the party, Mamie Curtiss, but she did not figuré in the conversations. When court opened Mamie was the leader of the procession, and the charge upon which she was arraigned was vagrancy. “Being a person of evil life and fame,” was the allegation inthe information. Mamie has been a fine-lcoking woman, and a reformation and good clothes would still make her an attractive one. Her father is a constable and lives on New Jersey avenue northwest between I and K streets. Mamie ts suppesed to keep house for him, but the prcof offered in court showed that the house either took care of itself or there was no keeping about it. When she was arrested two weeks ago several parties interested themselves in her behalf, and the judge released her on her personal bonds. “Last night when I arrested her on New Jersey avenue,” said the policeman in the case, ‘she was dead drunk and had to be carried to the patrol wagon.” “Have you seen her about the streets drunk?” “J have, your honor.’” “When ‘she was in court before,” sald Lawyer Sillers, “I spoke in her behalf and she was released upon a promise to do bet- ut she was drunk the very next night.” “But I wasn’t drunk last night,” young woman told the court. “She was helplessly drunk,” the officer volunteered. “That's not so," aroused from a sound sleep, enough to dazzle anybody.” William Hoover, a neighbor, was in court, and he had a complaint to make. He said that the woman was continually vnder the influence of liquor. ‘‘And,” he sali, “the language she uses is bad enough to shcck any one.” ‘The witness also told the court of reports he had heard about the character of her male associates. “That's only report,” said the woman. “You mustn’t believe everything you hear.” Judge Miller said that the case was a sad one, and he disliked very much to send her down. “If you give me just one more chance,” said the woman, “I'll stop drinking and behave mycelf.” “I would like-very much to do it,” said the judge, “but I'm afraid you would only repeat yo former conduct.” Judge Miller said he would release her if any one would appear in court to take her avay, or put her in some institution, A sentence of thirty day's was imposed. The Lord Called Him. Following Mamie-came an old man named Aaron Buflupon, who had come here all the way from Missourl because he thought the Lord had called him to colonize the devout Hebrews. pases came here two days ago,” said the cfiicer, “‘and has been stopping at - tral Union Mission, Dhla maceiine © roand him on 6th street nofthwest between F and G streets begging, and he said the Lord had directed ;him to do it. The old manr who was Poorly clad in farmer's clothes and who wore a red flan- nel shirt, was put oni the stand in his own behalf, and he informed the court that he was innocent of any wrong doing, “Where are you from” the coi Bee urt wanted “Missouri.”” “What bronght you here?” “I consider that the Lord called me here." or what?” “To get together all the devout Jews ard form a colony.” “Have you any friends here?” “1 hepe I have.” “Who are some of them?” “Mr. Cleveland's clerk, Willlam Hastings, is one of them. ny more: Not that I know of.” When further questioned, the old man said he was seventy-elght years, four months and twenty days old. He rode 1,000 miles on the train and then begged the bal- ance of his way here. “Have you a family in Missouri?” he was asked. “I have four married sons, three in Mis- seul and one in Arkansas.” the said Mamie. “I was and that’s , sir; I told them they need not write, for I would go just where the Lord sent me.” The old man, the judge thought, was harmless, and he turned him over to Sani- tary Officer Frank to care for. Other Cases, James McDonald, a_ seventeen-year-old victim of strong drink, was in the proces- sion as an alleged suspicious person. “I was in Georgetown drinking last night,” was the boy’s excuse, “and I don’t remember of having gone in any yard.” “IT found him asleep in the yard of the House of Me y on K street at ) o'clock this mornin, said the officer. “There's a 10-foot fice around the yard and the gate was locked.” Witnesses from the House of Mercy ap- peared and said that about 1 o'clock in the morning some one made an attempt to” open one of the wind The case went over until tomorrow, as the court wants to hear something about where and under what circumstances the boy got his liquor. Thomas Johnson, a colored man, who is well known about the city and who has many friends, was in the procession be- cause the mixture of hot weather and spirits made him weary last night and he fell asleep on the sidewalk. Policeman Russell objected to his making a lodging house of Uncle Sam's sidewalk and arrested him. “Guilty,” answered Johnson when ar- raigned, “I don’t remember what hap- pened, but I'm guilty, I guess.” His personal bonds were taken. Loveless Brooks, a little colored boy who says he lives with his stepmother in Navy place, was charged with vagrancy. He was turned over to the board of chil- dren’s guardians. a CATHOLIC COLLEGES, Faculties Announced for Two Well- Known Loral Institutions.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: As a member of the committee before the District Commissioners asking that in all specifications for public improvements and buildings in the District of Columbia the maximum wages shall be pald, District workmen be employed and the eight-hour law be enforced, I thank you for the fair ahd correct report appearing in your issue of yesterday; and I believe that the press of Washington can secure the removal of a grievance long felt by the laboring men of our city if they will investigate and write up the hardships for which the pres- Wages | ent system of letting out contracts to the lowest bidder is responsible. The acceptance of a contract under the present system arbitrarily fixes the rate of wages to be paid, as well as the number of hours, for these low bidders hase their estimates on low wages and long hours, re- sulting always in the importation of cheap, and in many cases inferior, workmen from Maryland, Virginia,Pennsylvania and other places. We protect ourselves in requiring that material of the best quality shall be used in our public improvements. Why can we not protect ourselves against inferior work- men? If the law gives the Commissioners power to s: that bricks of a certain price be used, why does the law not give them the same power to say that labor of a certain wage be employed? * We believe that the eight-hour statute should alone govern the Commissioners in the giving out of contracts, and under that law the Commissioners can regulate the wages, hours of labor, character of work- men, as well as the character of the ma- terial. It is not alone the mechanics of Wash- ington who are interested in this matter, but all classes of our city, as we are ali concerned in the manner of the®construc- tion of our public buildings. The charities are interested, for there are quite a number living permanently among us who live on public and private charity throvgh the winter and work at low wages during the busy seasons. This class can do this because they do not, like the honest mechanic, have to provide for the support of themselves and families during the winter. The merchants are interested, for the me- chanics to whom credit has been given for supplies and rent could pay their just in- debtedness if they were employed at a fair compensation. Every merchant in the city should, in his own interest, send a petition to the Commissioners backing up the unions in this request, as high wages mean pros- perity to the merchant. ‘There are many good reasons which could be advanced why this regulation should be made, but your space is limited and my article is long.

The Street Railway Protective Union took an outing to River View yesterday that was an unqualified success in every par- ticuler. It is cstimated that 4,000 tickets were sold, and that over half that number were used by those who took part in the excursion. The morning, afternoon and evening boats were all crowded. Dancing began immediately on the arrival of the morning boat, and was continued all through the Jay. Several games of base ball were played, and every one enjoyed the impromptu program. which was ar- ranged for the benefit of the guests. Those who contributed to this were Charles Sana, Jchn McLaughlin, Fred Smith, Albert Spor- leder, W. F. Gates, Charles Gates, Harry Pond, L. G. ‘Toney and Miss Morris. All the roads were represented except the Eck- ington and the Washirgton and George- town, and the Anacostia delegation was especially numerous. The association but- tons were worn for the first time on the outing yesterday. It is said that not one intoxicated person was seen on the grounds, ard this fact is pointed to with pride by the. members of the union. It is thought that a very large sum was netted to the association from the proceeds of the excur- sion, gna the managers feel very much gratit over the success of the undertak- ing. The committee in charge of the excur- sion consisted of Messrs. Richard Rose, Robert L. Dent, J. H. Ake: W. W. Rice, Phillip Baker, Robert Glasscock, L. McMil- lan and Mark Whalen. The prominent members of the union who accompanied the local members on the excursion were President Lawrence, Secretary Casey, Re- cording Secretary Dement and James Trai- nor. Speedy, the wonderful tower diver, will jump from his eighty-foot tower into three and one-half feet of water at River View tomorrow. This is a Special attraction which has been prepared by Capt. Randall and no extra charge is made for the event. The regular time schedule will prevail, and cbildren will be charged 15 cents. This is one of the most thrilling feats which has ever been presented in this part of the country, and is well worth a trip of twice the distance to River View. A moonlight excursion will be given to Marshall Hall Monday, July 29, by the R. W. and B. Club, composed of the clerks of the Police Court. The excursion is for the benefit of Lincoln Corps, W. R. C., and the proceeds of the outing will be turned over to that organization. The steamer Mac- alester has been chartered for the occasion and will stop at Alexandria on both trips. An excursion for the benefit of the poor of St. Dominic's parish will be given tomor- row night to Marshall Hall on the steamer Macalester. It is to be given under the auspices of the St. Dominic's conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, and is the second excursion which has been given for this purpose. The tickets are good on both day boats, the Macalester and the River Queen, and a good crowd is expected to be in attendance.
