Mr. Hanford's Tour.—Charles B. Hanford has been in NewYork for the past few days making final preparations for his starring tour in conjunction with Elihu R. Spencer and Nora O'Brien. The company began re- hearsing at the National Theater today, and their season will open at Wilmington, Del., on September 23, in “The Merchant of Venice." A company of twenty-two people has been engaged and special and magnifi- cent scenery and properties have been pre- pared for their tour. The sumptuous man- ner in which Mr. Hanford mounted the lay of “Julius Caesar’ two seasons ago is an indication of what may be expected in this tour, and more especially when it is known that he hes purchased the magnifi- cent scenic outfit used by Miss Katherine Clemmons in the plays of “A Lady of Venice” and “Miss Dascott,” which has been altered and arranged to sult the plays to be given by the company. Much new and appropriate scenery has also been added, which, together with the superb sets used by Booth and Barrett, will give the company an unusual amount of fine settings. Mr. Hanford has made himself favorably known by his performances of Mare Antony, Ingomar and other roles, and his appearance in other strong parts like Othello, Shylock and Virginius will be look- ed forward to with a deep interest by all who have watched his career since his first appearance on any stage in this city four- eeen years ago in the part of Cassius. Mr. jpencer, who made a decided hit in the part of Cassius when Mr. Hanford appear- ed here on his first starring tour, will this season, be jointly starred with Mr. Han- ford, and Miss Nora O’Brien, a young and remarkably clever actress, who made a most successful debut a little over a year ago in the part of Juliet, will be the third arty to the triple star alliance. The fol- Towle well-known people have been en- gaged for the company: Benson H. Pierce, George Macomber, James F. Fulton, Ber- tram Temple, Richard Buhler, Herbert Prior, Charles T. Dulin, M. C.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Mayor Thompson's First Experience With a Police Court Case. Rev. Mr. Weech Ill—The Clerk's Office Report for August—Other Items of Interest. Mayor Thompson’s first case was tried at a most unearthly hour and was under Most peculiar circumstances. It “appears that on Saturday night shortly before 12 o'clock Ccnstant Pounet, who keeps a bar room on the corner of Fayette and Cam- eron streets, got into an altercation with a man named Ben Scrivener, and threaten- ed to shoot him full of holes. Scrivener escaped and ran to the station house for an officer and Pounet was arrested. Mayor Thompson, owing to the system in vogue here, was waked up in the dead of night to sign a warrant, and when he arrived at the station house found that the wit- nesses wanted to return to Washington early Sunday morning, so at 1 o'clock he went the bench, tried the case, fined Pounet $7 for the assault, and put him un- der bonds to keep the peace. In the Police Court. Mayor Thompson's first morning in the police court was ushered in by fifteen pris- orers in the dock, charged with various offens The first case was a complaint of ex-Capt.

Prof. Wiley Comments Upon Some World’s Fair Analyses. The report of the government analysis of cereals at the world’s fair at Chicago just issued, comments on the remarkable dry- ness of the cereal products of this coun- try, and says they showed a moisture of about elght-tenths of 1 per cent less than those of foreign countries examined. The conclusions reached in the report, which was compiled by Chemist Wiley of the Agricultural Department, are that while our domestic wheats give a flour slightly inferior in nutritive properties to that de- rived from foreign samples, it is neverthe- less better adapted for baking purposes. This quality, it {s urged, more than com- persates for its slight deficiency in respect of nutrition, a deficiency which, however, is so small as to be hardly worth+con- sidering. In this connection, the report calls atten- tion to the great influence of climate upon the quality of wheat. The best wheats grown in the United States are shown to be produced in the central-northern part of the country, while the poorest are grown in the southern states. ~ DEMANDED HIS RECALL.

William Harness Attempts to Commit Suicide—Transfert of the Tenley- town Parochial School. About 10 a.m. yesterday Sumner Lee, who keeps an eating house next door to Edward Tyler, who lives in Colton’s alley, between the canal and M street, Potomac and 33d streets, was passing by the residence of the latter, when Tyler invited him in to play a game of cards for fun. After play- ing two games Tyler suggested that they play for 5 cents. They did so, and Lee won. He asked for his money. Tyler of- fered to play again for the money, which Lee refused to do. Tyler's wife and an- other woman urged him to give Lee the nickel. ‘This seemed to enrage him, and he struck Lee, who went out and went next écor to his place to get a pitcher in which to get some soup. In passing Tyler's house he (Tyler) rushed out and grappled with Lee, and, saying, “I've already killed one man, and, d—n you, I'll kill you," began beating him. Lee says Tyler put his hand behind, and he, thinking he was going to be killed, shot Tyler. The bullet passed un- der the skin under the middle of the left eye.and came out just in front of the left esr. The wounded man was taken to Crop- ley's drug store, and then sent to the Emergency ir a patrol wagon. Lee lives with his mother on Prospect avenue, and bears an excellent character, while Tyler is @ very tough citizen. Cable Line to Union Depot.

Father John M. Barry, formerly pas- tor of the Tenleytown Catholic Church and St. Gabriel's, near Great Falls, was in town this morning making arrangements for the removal to Weaverton, Md., of the furni- ture in the parochial school established by him at tho smaller parish.

His parishioners number in all over 1,000 souls, the majority being at Brunswick. He is highly satisfied with his transfer. Father Barry 4s very much be- loved by his new flocks, and some con- yenierce Is always beimg provided for him.

SS A French Officer Punished. ‘The Navy Department has given out the following: As a sequel to the Castine-Tamatave in- cident concerning the landing of the offi- cers and men, information has just reached Washington that the French authoritie: with very creditable promptitude, sen- tenced Capt. Lavoisot, because of his con- duct in that affair, to twenty days’ soli- tary confinement in the military jail there. It is understood, furthermore, that he re- turns to France with entire loss of all pro- motion; that is, he remains stationary on the army list, which makes his punishment to him personally a very serious one. If these statements are correct, it will be seen that the French authorities at Tama- tave showed a just and proper appreciation of the original incident.

The Evils of Tea and Coffee Drinking have become apparent throughout the civil- ized countries. The medical profession has thrown its weight of authority against the practice, and frequently referred to the baneful results occasioned by the free use of there articles as a beverage. Every con- stmer should realize that coffee is not an aliment but a medicament, possessing a powerful active principle or alkaloid known as “caffein,” which produces serious de- rangements of the digestive organs and the nervo ystem.
