The excise board has just adopted a new regulation which is calculated to do away with one of the troubles with which it has met in the course of its work In the pest. As is generally known, an applicant for a liquor license must have the signa- tures of a majority o7 the residents and property owners on the square and on the opposite side of the street to the place which he wants to run as a liquor store. An advertisement to the effect that an ap- plication has been filed is published in the daily papers, but there are a very few peo- ple in every community who do not read the papers thoroughly, and the result is that complaint has often been made that the residents in the neighborhood were not informed that a saloon was about to be opened in their midst. Hereafter when a man applies for a li- cense he will have to tack a sign upon his door, in a conspicuous place, informing the syablic that his request is before the ex- ise board. The board has had printed a supply of such notices, which are in the form of cards not unlike the scarlet fever and smallpox signs that are occasionally posted on the fronts of houses. There will be no chance for people in the neighbor- hood to say now that they did not know a saloon was contemplated. The sign is printed on a card about 14 by 9 inches and contains ir black-face type the words: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT. The notice must be put up in such a man- ner as to be easily seen, and in case It gets lost or in any way mutilated it must be replaced without delay. Applicants for licenses have also been notified that in the future the excise board will not take into consideration as a plea for granting a license for a new place the expense that the applicant may have un- dergone in fitting up his bar room. Any place not licensed on October 31, 1894, will be considered as a new place. Hereafter the excise board will consider applications for licenses only on the sec- ond Wedresday of each month. This ts to give the board a better opportunity to transact its business as the board of as- sistant assessors. ———— THE SUICIDE’S IDENTITY. Theo@ore Peters Shot Himself, as He Promised. The body of the suicide found in Rock Creek Park rear tue Pierce Mill road yes- terday proved to be the body of Theodore Peters, the coachman, as was supposed. When the body reached the morgue sev- eral of the deceased’s friends called and viewed it. In one of the pockets of the dead man’s clothes was found a letter ad- dressed to the secretary of a lodge of Odd Fellows, to which he belonged, as follows: WASHINGTON, D. C., July 26, 1895. Dear Sir and Brother: As I am about to take leave of this earth for the simple reason that I am tired of living, I thought it best to inform some one of the order of I. O. O. F. that I am a member in good standing of the following lodges: Reno Lodg2, No. 7, O. F.; Canadian En campment, No. 3, and to Martha Washing- ton Rebecea Lodge; also K. of P. Lodge, No. 6, all cf El Reno, Ind. T. Not know- ing whether a suicide is entitled to funeral e>penses or not I wish to say that if I am entitled to them I do not wish any of the lodges to spend any money on me after my death, but if I am entitled to the funeral expenses kindly expend it on the living mothers and sisters who are in need of it. I always hate to see money spent on the dead while lots of living people are in need of it. My wish is to be. cremated, if possible, without any other displays generally used at funerals. Trusting that you can and will comply with my last wishes, I remain till death yours in F., L. and T., THEODORE PETERS. The deceased had served in the army, and about eightcen months ago he came here from Texas. He drove for Major Hall for some time and later ke drove for Mr. C. T. Havenner. Undertaker Lee took charge of the body and prepared it for burial. The funeral took place this morning at 10 o'clock, the bedy being interred in Congressional ceme- tery. ee What Mr. Deeble Said. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In the published report of the hearing before the suburban highway commission yesterday, you quote me as favoring the plan, but also state that I “hoped that the commission would go on and remove the red mortgage represented by the lines of the abandoned streets,” when, in fact, I stated or intended to convey the idea that I hoped the commission would de- cide the matter at the earliest possible moment and thus help to “remove the red mortgage represented by the lines of the proposed streets.” W.

A bill in equity for specific performance has been filed by John Clarkson against Aaron McLaughlin, in which the complain- ant prays that some time prior to Febru- ary 20, 1800, he, James B. Coit and the de- fendant agreed to purchase land in Peter’s Mill Seat for $2,000, the purchase to be in the defendant's name, and each to hold a one- third interest in the land. Coit subsequent- ly sold out, and the complainant prays that he be decreed to have a one-half interest in the holdings. —————__ Asks Information, Register of Wijls Wright has received a letter from Alfred Shaw of Manchester, England, asking for information concern- ing one Thomas Torkington, who !s re- ported to have died in this country some eight or ten years ago.

Hancock for information leading to the discovery of Nellie B. Hancock, her three-year-old daughter, who she be- Meves was taken by her husband when he suddenly left the city last December. It will be remembered that there was quite a sensation in the northeastern section of the city at about that time, when trouble developed between Mrs. Hancock and her kusband, who was well known as a real estate dealer in that neighborhood. The cause of the difficulty was sald to be a handsome young woman who worked for Hancock «8 a clerk and who left the city somewhat mysteriously after Hancock had disappeared. Mrs. Hancock has for some time been living in St. Louis, but has re- cently come to Washington to prosecute the search for her little one. Her father- in-law, Wm. R. Hancock of Flora, Ill, and her brother. Ged Schlenker of Bridgeport, Mil, are aiding her in the effort to secure possession of the child. The reward has been offered in her béhalf by Edward Gies of the Warder building. ——. —__ Corporate Domination of Colleges as Well as Legisintures. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue cf July 9 you refer to a statement in Welsh’s “City and State,” that a professor occupying a chair in a promi- nent American university was recently dis- missed because of his views upon the man- ner in which the franchises for street rail- roads should be controlled, and express re- gret that the name of the professor and the institution should not have been made Public. I am now able to give the. desired infor- mation. It was Professor E. W. Bemis of tke University of Chicago, and he was dis- missed upon the demand of Mr. Yerkes, who controls a large portion of the street railroads of Chicago, and who, as will be remembered, presented to the university the large telescope that was set up in the manufacturers’ and liberal arts building at the world’s fair. Professcr Bemis was perfectly satisfac- tory to the institution, and is a man of rational reputation, who has given much attention to social questions, especially as applied to municipal affairs, advocating such reforms as hive been so successfully applied at Glasgow, Birmingham, and other European cities, in which the franchises for street railways, etc., are controlled by the municipalities, and are a source of revenue to the cities. It was for his expression of opinion fa- voring such a system that he was dis- missed (as my informant, who is familiar with the facts says,) at the personal de- mand of Yerkes, who gave the president of the university to understand that unless he was dismissed the university need ex- pect no more help from him. Every observing person must be aware of the fact that corporations and combines control the legislation of the country—na- tional, state and municipal—as has been well demonstrated at the national capital by the successful resistance of the two steam railroad companies to the efforts of the public to get rid of their grade cross- ings for the past fifteen years, and more recently by the defeat of the bill for dollar gas, the reduction in the enormous cost of electric lights, &c., &c. And now it appears that not content with this control, corporate wealth and in- fluence is seeking to control our institutions of learning, even to the suppression of opinions on municipal reform and econo- my! As The Star well says, it is desirable that the facts in every such effort skculd be fully stated, that the public may be in- formed, for the honest people of the coun- try will not long submit quietly to such domination. It is apparent that municipal reform and the control of corporations and combines is to be one of the great questions of the future in this country. It is no wonder, in view of the manner in which these in- fluences now dominate legislation for their own and against the public interests, that there is such a feeling of unrest in the pub- lic_ mind. ‘The only remedy is the control of these concerns in the interests of the public, and there can be no question that when the public becomes fully informed and aroused it will protect Itself. The only danger is that, as in all popular upheavals, public opinion may go to extremes, and work in- justice, but if so these parties will have no one to blame but themselves. W. C. D. —— In Behalf of the Marine Band. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Unfortunately, the earth is thickly popu- lated with “kickers.” In other words, this universe contains many persons who con- tinually exhibit their dissatisfaction with almost everything that comes within their observation. It is high time for some one to put in a word bere and there and as- sist the good and worthy cause of endeay- oring to quell these grumblers. I have read with interest and taken note of the great number of people who pick flaws in and slander the Marine Band. For instance, one person will use th2 valu- able columns of your paper (2s 1 am now doing) to find fault with Prof. Fanciulli’s daily celections for his open-air concerts, and declare that classic music is not the thing to amuse the humble Washington- jans, and another will berate him for his indiscriminate selection of the so-called popular songs, of which some are indeed beautiful, while still others have an in- satiable desire for marches. Doubtless Pref. Fanciulli knows what he is about, and I think it quite reasonable for some of these chronic kickers to leave the selec- tions to his own excellent taste «nd judg- ment, because if he were not capable of so doing he would not hold the high posi- tion which he does at present. I dislike to hear people refer to the exe- cutions of the Marine Band as jim-jam mtsic or tin-pan marches, and implore de- liverance from the so-considered torture of having to listen to such performances. I have for years and always will enjoy the open-air concerts of this popular band, which, besides being perfectly free instit tions, is a privilege that belongs to Wash- ington, and one that we should be thank- ful for instead of evincing such constant dissatisfaction with it as usually is dor “With all thy faults, I love thee st should be the motto of those who attend the concerts of the Marine Band, lest in a fit of righteous anger some one rises up and points clearly and distinctly to the old, but ever applicable adage, “Beggars mustn’t be choosers.” The Marine Band concerts being tendered to us complimentary, we should endeavor to make the most of this privilege before we lose it entirely, which I am confident will be the case if this unmerited derision continues much longer. “ALLEGRETTO.” ———-.__ Smoke Burner Company. In the case of John Milton and the Smoke Burner Company against Albert F. Kings- ley, Judge Hagner has signed an order re- straining the defendant from asserting any right to the complainants’ patented device for burning smoke, and rescinding a con- tract of October 8, 1892, for an assignment of Milton’s part interest in the invention. The case is referred to the auditor of the court, in order that Mr. gsley’s outlay in the transaction may Be ascertained, the court declaring him to be entitled to recover that. The case was filed August 18, 1893. Charges of Fraud. In the matter of the contest over the estate of the late John F. Cullinane, Judge Hegner has directed that the issues be sent to the Circuit Court for trial by a jury. The will which ts attacked is dated April 26, 1895, and it is claimed that it was not executed according to law; that the contgnts of the instrument were not known by the deceased; that he was not of sound and disposing ‘mind at the time of its execution, and that {t was procured by undue influence and by fraud, exer- cised and practiced upon the testator, —_—_—_ $1.25 To Baltimore and Return, $1.25 The Pennsylvania railroad will sell Satur- day, August 3, and Sunday, August 4, good the 5th, excursion returning until Monday, tickets to Baltimore at rate of 31.25. * Sunday ut Deer Park or Oakland.

Other Cases on Whieh Sentence Wan Pronounced—Some Were Guilty and Some Innocent. Joe Sands, an ex-government clerk from Texas, who has protably drank more Washington’ whisky than any other. man | from the lone star state, was the leader of Judge Scott’s early morning procession, and he was in such a state of nervousness that he could scarcely remain on his feet with- cut holding to the prison rail. Vagrancy was the charge against him, and when the clerk arraigned the shaky citizen he said: “To that sort of a charge I plead not guilty, sir.” The plea was duly entered, and the wit- nesses sworn. F. H. Davis was one of those whe appear- ed, and he gave the court the benefit of tall he knew of the man. “He's a nuisance whenever and where- ever he gocs,” the introduction Mr. Davis gave him. “He rooms or rather is given a place to sleep by a kind-hearted woman, and his language to her at times has been so profane and abusive that I’ve been tempted to break his neck several times.”” “Where does he work?’ Judge Scott wanted to know. “Work?” repeated the witness, ‘He don’t work anywhere. He’s no good, and is con- tinually begging from. boarders in the house, He has been sleeping in the coal cellar, and is permitted to eat with the servants.” “I've known him for three years,” said Policeman Haynes, “and he’s always drunk when he can get liquor.” Another witness gave similar evidence. He sald that Sands had driven many board- ers from the house, and i@ had now be- come a question of whether he or the boarders will staw #® the house. your honer,” .said the prisoner, want you to look at these papers and see who I am before you hear my state- ment,” handing the judge a package of papers. The prisoner went on to tell the court of the great amount of business he has on end. “If you let me go I'll brace up and leave town,” he said. “But,” he added, “I know of nothing I have done.” “I will give you until this evening to leave town,” the judg= told him. “But I've got to gt plead the prisoner, * morrow,” said the judge. went your honor give me three days?” fo, sir. can’t get ready in three days.” “Then you will have to go down.” His personal bonds were taken, and he was released. An Attractive Band. Theodore Caywood, a young colored man, was locked up with a crowd of lawbreak- ers, including thieves, disorderly and pro- fane persons, as well as a number of ama- teur pugilists, because he was on his bicycle after sundown without a lighted lamp attached to the: wheel. It was not the intemtion of the boy to violate the law when we went out on his bicycle, but a band bf music came along and the attraction wasso greut that Theo- dore could not resist-the temptation to foliow it, and the fact ‘that darkness over- took -him was a matter ef minor considera- ton. “There was a big crowd following. the band,” said Policeman Colbert, “and it was as much as we could do to keep them oft the grass and ont of front doors.” “What time was it?” “Ten minutes of 8 o'clock,” answered the policeman, “and the street lamps had been lighted.” “Five dollars.” Had » Quarrel. Henry A: Plummer, a colored man, ard Theresa Reed, a white woman, with whom he has been living, were in the procession, the man for disorderdy conduct and the woman for vagrancy. “They were in their room last night, en- gaged in a quarrel,” said the officer, “and Were about to have a fight when I ap- peare “We d been going together,” said the woman, “and I was trying to sheke him, end he quarreled.” Thirty days on the farm was the wo- man’s seatence, and the man was fined $10 cr thirty days. They will be released the same day. Robert L. Rust, a citizen of Front Royal, Va., who is here on a visit, was in the pro- cexsion because he had said something to Policeman Laurencescn which did not meet the latter's approval. “I was robbed last night,” the stranger said, ‘and when I made complaint the po- liceman wanted to make me out a rascal. Why, judge, when I de the report he in- timated that I had not been robbed.” “There's nothing in this case,” remarked Mr. Pugh. a been drinking?’ the stranger The court afterward remitted the fine and released the stranger. Thomas Hepburn, a colored man, under the influence of liquor, was found guilty of indecent conduct in Stanton Square, and was fined $5. Other Cases. William Robinson and Charles Robinson were charged with vagrarcy, because they had been drinking, and were found sleeping In a park. “T’m no vagrant,” said William, “and can prove it by Officer Turnburke.” - “I know him to be an inoffensive man,” sald the officer. “He has been employed at the workhouse for a long time. Once or twice a day he comes away from there and gets drunk.” “Then the workhouse is the place for remarked the court. “Thirty days Two colored girls, Eliza Thompson and Annie White, plead guilty to a charge of vagrancy. “These girls have been going to the flying horses,” said a policeman, “and sleeping in @ vacant house at night.” Thirty days each, was the court’S sen- tence. Lawyer Moss entertained the court for twenty minutes when Martin Lane's case of profanity was called. He tried to show that the policeman was responsible for the bad language. In this effort he failed, but the court im- posed a low fine of $3, and the prisoner stepped back. —__-—___ Filed a@ Caveat.

G, A. R. MEN AT BAY RIDGE. Woeshingtonians Win the Ball Game md Other Prizes. About six thcisand Grand Army men and their families from this city and Bal- timore enjoyed an outing at Bay Ridge yesterday. John F. Reynolds Post, No. 6, managed the local end of the excursion, while a number of amusements and diver- sions were provided for those who took ad- vantage of the opportunity to get a whiff ef the salt water and air. The people went from Baltimore on the steamer Columbia and by the B. and O. railroad; from Port Deposit, Havre de Grace and Perryville on the steamer Jane Moseley, and from this city by special trains on the B. and O. It is thought that the excursion yesterday was one of the most successful ever held in the history of Bay Ridge. Post No. 46 of Baltimore held a recep- tion at the Ridge, under the auspices of the Women’s Relief Corps, for members of the Department of the Potomac. The pro- grain of athletic sports and amusements included a baze ball game, which was won by Washington by a score of 30 to 4. Pres- ident Nick Young of the National Base Ball League umpired the game, while “Dug” Allison, a noted old-timer, appeared behind the bat for the Washington team. The winners in the athletic sports were: Fat men’s race, open to members of the G. A. R. weighing over 200 pounds, distance 150 yards, Mr. H. B. Lewis, weighing 247 pounds, first; 200-yard race, Dr. H. M. Bel nett; sack race, 75 yards, Jack Rochard: bicycle, open to all, Sholto Rose; greased pig chase, N. Thomas. Miss May Belle Chambers of this city won a fan in a po- tato race. There was a great deal of dis- appointment consequent on the postpone- ment of the ladies’ bicycle race, but as there were no entries it had to be declared off. The proceeds, which amounted to about $500 for the local G. A. R., and twice that much for the Baltimore contingent, will be used for the benefit of the G. A. R. relief fund. A special train brought the Washington crowd back to this city about 10 p.m. lO Déath of Daniel G. Hate! Daniel G. Hatch of the Department of Agriculture died yesterday afternoon at the Homeopathic Hospital of typhoid fever, after several weeks’ illness. A sad feature of the case is the absence in New England of Mr. Hatch’s wife and two children, one of whom, a daughter, is also down. with typhoid fever, and has required the con- stant nursing of her mother. Mr. Hatch was a Kentucian, ard a rela- tive of ex-Representative William H. Hatch of Missouri. He was at one time engaged in business in this city, and for several years has been connected with the bureau of animal industry of the Agricultural De- partment, and for the past two years has been chief of the inspection division of that bureau. His work in New York of eradicating pleuro-pneumonia gained for him commendable distinction. He was a man of genial spirits, and was much liked by his associates in the department, who, together with others of his friends, showed him every possible attention™ during his ill- ness. ——+—- Painfully Injured. Because of the running away of a horse, and subsequent collision with a tree box in front of the new engine house at Mount Pleasant, Mrs. Julia Whitson last evening was painfully cut and bruised about the head and hands. Mrs. Whitson !s the wife of Mr. W. H. Whitson, and, after the acci- dent, was removed to her home, 1527 Lin- coln avenue, Mount Pleasant. + ROYAL | BAKING } {POWDER Absolutely Pure.
