Wind, tide, speed, or even the crossing of the wake of another vessel materially affects the turning circle.

All the conditions constantly vary; judg- ment fs needed at every moment; the edu- cation of the eye in estimating distances and exact knowledge of the capabilities of the ship are alike called for. The mere theorist will, in fact, find himself hope- lessly incompetent, and the efficient hand- ling of a ship {mplies qualities which it is not given to every one to acquire.

DOSES OF JUSTICE DEALT OUT Wry Faces Mark the Majority of ' the Patients. — DETAILS OF THE DAY. The day after the big labor demonstra- tion witnessed a big procession in the Po- Uce Court, but this procession was not composed of the men who figured in the creditable display yesterday. There were in the toils at an early hour this morning sixty-one victims of the police, but before the starting of the procession friends of appearance and they were released. The procession was made up almost exclusively of colored people, and not many of then appeared to belong to the laboring class, although a number of them said so tn or- der to have the court act leniently tn their cases. In the female cell there were thir- teen women, and all of them were colored. They were principally of the kind that hang about the alleys and wait for the a: rival cf some friend who has mon enough with which to “rush the growler, and then when they get well under the in- flvence of liquor they tmagine the world belongs to them, and get arrested because of their conduct, resulting from their im- aginations, made so vivid by the liquid re- freshments. ‘Tomorrow will be pension day, and these women, some of whom live for the day when the old soldiers get their quarterly allowance, were in sore distress because they will not get out until the pension mon- ey Is gone, but there was no way out of their trouble, and so they went down. Jadge Kimball’and Joe Potts. Judge Kimball, who has been away for six weeks, returned home yesterday, but as he was not on hand when court opened, the procession of District offenders faced Judge Mills. Clerk Potts, who returned home from his vacation yesterday, was on hand to arralgn the offenders, the first of whom was a col- ored man named Edward Colson. He was arrested by Policeman Auldridge, whd has so many cases this summer, und the charge against him was profanity. “I'm not guilty,” was-his plea. “He was drunk and profane last night,” said the officer, “and when I arrested him he became very troublesome. On the way to the box he tore off my badge and gave me all the trouble he could. “I was full,” said the man, “but I didn’t ev: Five dollars.” ss Jim Boston had a “frog in his throat” this morning, the natural consequence of his intoxicated condition last night. “He was drunk and disorderly on 4% street,” said Policeman Greer, “‘and I ar- rested him. “He arrested me all right,” sald the col- ored man, “but I had only been in the saloon to get a bowl of soup.”” Judge Mills has heard many names for strong drink, but he did not say whether or not he had ever heard it called soup. Jim was fined $5, and he went down. Hotel Beds Would Have Cust Less. William Reed and Charles Walker, young men, who felt tired last night, stopped on 7th street to rest themselves, and they found a front porch so comfortable that they fell asleep and were snoring when Policeman Greer came along. He arrested them and charged them with obstructing the sidewalk. a “We were there on the porch,” sald one of the defendants, “but we did not obstruct the pavement.” “They were apparently under the influ- ence of lquor,” the officer told the court. “Five dollars or fifteen days each.” Thomas Hill and Charles Scott appeared on a charge of disorderly, heard the court “Five dollars” and stepped back. —~ “I don't know whether I'm guilty or no,” responded a colored man named James Ricks. “I had been having fun last night and can’t recollect.” Policeman Greer recollected for him, and the usual fine was imposed. Benjamin West was arraigned for dis- orderly conduct on C street southeast, and he was unable to pay the usual fine. Andrew Hillman, a colored man, was in the procession on a charge of cruelty to animals, it being alleged that he failed to properly feed or care for a horse. Humane Agent Riplinger wanted the court to try the case on hearsay testi- mony, to which Lawyer Peyton objected. Agent Riplinger found the animal in a condition which he thought justified him in ending its life, which he did. He failed, however, to show that Hill- man had not properly cared for the ani- mal, and the case was dismissed. A Man's Right to the Pavement. “There’s always a crowd of men stand- ing on the pavement,” said Policeman Reith, “and last night I arrested William Parker, whom I found there.” “Was he in a crowd?” asked Judge Kim- ball, who ha‘ relieved Judge Mills. “No, sir,” the policeman answered. “Then I can’t hold him,” the judge said. “A man has a right to stand on the pave- ment.

Rather a High-Handed Arrest. Sarah Overton, a colored girl, who does rot belong to the class of Police Court visitors, was in the line because she ex- pressed sympathy for a man who was under arrest. - “It's a pity that the man should have to be dragged that way,” she said. And for this Policeman Auldridge arrested her. “Were you ever arrested before?” Judge Kimball asked her. “No, sir.'” “What do you do for your living?” “My father supports me.’" “Personal bonds."" A man who was docketed as William C. Brown plead guilty to a charge of pro- fanity and went down because he could not pay the fine assessed. William Dodson, a young colored man, who had trouble with an old man named John C. Wright, was next in line. The former interfered with the old man, and when he called him an ugly name the old man struck him. In addition to this punishment, he got arrested and fined, and now he thinks he was punished twice for one offense. Couldn't Keep Out of the Territory. Nine months ago James Robinson's per- sonal bonds were taken to keep out of the “Division,” and last night he returned to that section with friends to play music at Mrs. Washington’s house. When vhey left the house and started home there was trouble on the street, and Jim got arrested and locked up on a charge of disorderly. Robinson denied the charge, and called his two musical friends to give evidence for him. But their stories of the affair did not agree, and Robinson was fined the usual ameunt.

Catholic University. Rev. P. J. Francisens, C. 8. L., rector of the Holy Cross College, which is to be established in Brookland, arrived on Sat- urday with fourteen seminarians. They are at present boarding in West Brookland, but Father Francisens is negotiating to’ rent a larger house in Brookland, where he Will establish their house of study for the coming winter. These students, who are to attend the university courses, are being educated for professorships for the Holy Crcss colleges of the United States and Carada. In a few days ten graduates will arrive from the Notre Dame University, who are to form a post-graduate class to study the higher branches taught in the McMahon Hall. The Notre Dame Univer- sity will have this winter in Brookland a colony of about thirty men. Bishop Keane left on Sunday night for St. Paul, Minn., to assist at the dedication of St. Thomas’ Seminary there. Before re- turning, the bishop will attend a Sunday Observance convention, to meet on Septem- ber 14th in Buffalo. Dr. Shanahan of Boston, who has been appointed to the chair of higher philosophy if the McMahon Hall, was a guest at the university last week, and while there en- gaged apartments at the Eckington Hotel, where he will locate for the winter. The university is issuing invitations to all the archbishops, bishops, alumni and special friends of the university to meet there during week of opening of the Mc- Mahon Hall, for the purpose of organiz- ing an alumni association. Prof. Edward Greene of the State University of Califor- nia at Berkley has arrived at the univer- sity, and will occupy the chair of botany in tha McMahon Hall. Rev. Dr. Zahm, the eminent scientist and director of studies of the Holy Cross College from South Bend, ts a guest at the university. According to the will of the late Peter J. Lavin of La Crosse, Wis., there has been received at the university five thousand dollars, for the establishment of a scholar- ship of the archdiocese of Milwaukee, and one of the brightest students of the arch- diocese will enter upon its privileges this year. There has also been received the half of a second burse, established by the will of Mr. Charles L. Routt for the diocese of Alton, Ill. The university was favored last year with endowments, the total sum received for professional chairs being $150,- 000. Columbian University. Dr, A. P. Montague, dean of the college department, has returned from his summer trip in Maine. Dr. Charles E. Monroe, dean of the Cor- coran Scientific School, was one of the dele- gates from the Science Society of this city to the American Association of Advanced Science, which convened in Springfield, Mass., on August 80. Dr. Monroe was ac- companied by Mr. C. Whitehead, in charge of the department of assayirg in the university, who read a paper on tellurium; also by Mr. George BE. Barton, who read an article on aiseric in glycerine. The Columbian University Banjo and Mandolin Club kas been reorganized. It cons’sts of fourteen members, with Mr. Henry Heidman as leader. The club meets every Tuesday and Friday at the university to practice. During the summer they gave several very successful concerts in Vir- ginia towns. One of the new features of the club is_a double bass guitar, which is played by Mr, CharJes Baker. There has been established in the uni- versity a school of manual training, which will be conducted by Mr. J. —. Blomen. The school will consist of a tin shop, car- penter shop, &c., and will occupy the base- ment of the college building. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, professor of phil- osophy ard French, is studying tn France, Georgetown University. Rey. H. Richards, S. J., president of the university, has returned from a two weeks’ stay in New York, and announces the fol- lowing changes for the coming year: Father Powers has relinquished the vice presidency on account of ill-health, and will be succeeded by Rev. William Ennis, S. J., of Woodstock, who is well known to Georgetown students, having been profes- sor of rhetoric there from '88 to "03. Rev, Louis Webber, 8. J., of the Jesuit Novitiate in Frederick, Md., will teach rudiments in the preparatory department. Father Richley has been appointed chief disciplinarian in the preparatory depart- ment. Rev. John B. Pittar, S. J., of last year’s faculty, has gone to St. Joseph’s College, Philadelphia, where he will bz professor of the class of third grammar. A generous donation from Miss Mary Reed of Georgetown, D. C., has been re- celved at the university for the purpose of purchasing a set of vestments for the chapel. ee Parades and Plenics. Labor day and Sedan day were fittingly celebrated at Baltimore yesterday, and business was practically suspended. The ranks of labor paraded at noon, and then had picnics and speeches. The German associations and citizens marched in hon- or of the fall of Sedan, and congratulatory cablegrams were sent to Emperor William and Prince Bismarck. THE MOON’SPROGRAM Schedule Arranged for the Perform- ance Tonight. ABOUT ECLIPSES IN GENERAL How an Amateur Can Make Obser- vations. THE EARTH’S SHADOW There is to be a total eclipse of the moon tonight. The schedule of the event, given in the Nautical Almanac, is as fol- lows, in standard eastern time, or that of Washington clocks and watches: I. Moon enters‘penumbraSept. 8, p.m. Ii. Moon enters shadow Sept. 8, 1 pm. IM. Total eclipse begins...Sept. 4, 12:06 a.m. IV. Middle of eclipse. Y- Total eclipse ends. VI. Moon leaves shadow. .Sept. 4, a.m. ‘VII. Moon leaves penumbraSept. 4, 4:06 a.m. The cause and explanation of eclipses is quite simple. We have the sun, earth and moon moving in space, according to a sim- ple and definite law. The sun alone is self-luminous; the earth and moon are dark, opaque bodies, and hence cast shadows away from the sun. Now, it is easy to see that these three bodies may come into a straight line, whence an eclipse is inevitable. When the moon comes between tHe sun and earth. it blcts out a part or all of Old Sol’s face, and a solar eclipse results, either partial or_ total. If the earth is in the middle when all are in line, its shadow falls upon the moon, and we have a lunar eclipse, such a8 oc- curs tonight. The line which 6ne may conceive as drawn from earth to sun moves around the latter in a plane, just-as the spoke of a fly-wheel moves about the hub,- or shaft. This plane, in which the earth’s shadow moves, is called the ecliptic. The illustra- tion is easily carried further, for the shad- ow is well represented by the outer end of the spoke, by taking the earth as a point several inches inside the rim, on the Spoke. The Moon’s Orbit. 4 Now the moon moves in a similar, but much smaller orbit, around the earth; and if the path of our satellite happened to oc- cupy the same plane as the ecliptic, then there would be two eclipses each month; for twice would the three bodies come in Mne in each revolution of the moon. This would give a solar eclipse at new moon, and a lunar eclipse when the moon was full. Nature has obviated such a monotonous order of things by “tilling” the orbit of our satellite at an angle of about five degrees to the ecliptic. The two points where her orbit cuts the earth’s plane are called the nodes; since the earth's shadow is always revolving in the ecliptic, it is evident that in order for it to envelope the moon the latter must be in either one of her nodes. But the difficulty in planning the matter is to have the revolving shadow there too. Both shadow and moon must travel through one of the nodes at the same time to produce a lunar eclipse. That is the reason they are not of more frequent occurrence. The condition of things as above stated is precisely that of a “grado crossing of two railroads. The officials figure to.prevent two trains from erossing at the same time. In general they are successful,;but, now and then a collision occurs. The astronomer calculates when and where the,moon and shadow will meet. With him the. “crossing” is not fixed, for even that alsa moves.- But his problem is just as definite as that of the railroad man. As for ‘the calculation, it is a bit more difficult, while the result Is more cer- tains, Entering the Shadow. The penumbra is the region of partial shadow immediately surrounding the total; within its limits a portion of the sun’s rays are excluded. There is a gradual grada- tion from full light to complete shadow in passing from the outer to the inner bound- ary of the penumbra. At 9:48 this evening the moon enters this penumbra, as is recorded above. The ob- server will not see any diminution of light until the moon almost reaches the dark shadow. This is because the change is s0 gradual that the eye cannot retain the image of the fully illuminated satellite as a standard of comparison, ‘As she enters the shadow at 11 p.m. a portion of her surface seems to be cut off and to disappear almost entirely, A good eye can notice, however, that the eclipsed portion is still very faintly and dimly out- lined. When Total Eclipse Begins. At 12:06 a.m. the moon passes wholly into the shadow, or total eclipse begins. Now that there is none of the partly illuminated disk visible, the whole surface is plainly seen, shining with a dull, coppery light. This light 1s refracted, or bent into the shadow by the earth's atmosphere, and re- flected back to us from the lunar surface. At 12:57 the middle of the eclipse occurs, at which time the moon is most deeply im- mersed. The remainder of the schedule refers to the emersion from shadow and penumbra, which will occur with precisely the same effects, but in the reverse order to the jm- mersion. In addition to knowing the time, the ob- server may be interested to know in ad- vance about what position the moon will occupy in the sky at aay phase. Since the moon is full at the middle phase, she is just opposite “Old Sol’ in the heavens. Hence, at any hour, the moon will be ap- proximately where the sun was at the same hour this forenoon. For example, the first visible sign will ocsur shortly before 11 o'clock p.m. Hence the satellite will be about an hour east of our meridian. ‘Tha observer need not expect to note any Phase with precision enough to determine his time with accuracy, sirce the outlines of the shadow are not sufficiently distinct. But he may get his observed times of be- ginning and ending of totality to agree with the above schedule within a minute or two, if his watch is correct. The moon will traverse the shadqw from west to east, as is always the case. In this instance the passage is nearly central, being a trifle below the axis of the shadow cone. For phase II, to find where'the shadow will begin to impinge upon the moon's cir- cumference, or limb, as it is called, proceed as follows: Two or three moments before 11 p.m. face the moon with watch, suspend- ed by chain or cord, so that the figure XIT is uppermost and the VI nearest the ground. Then compare the uppermost point of the moon to the XII point of the watch, and the 48-minute ‘point of the watch will show where the shadow will enter luna's face. Similarly, for phase VI, the last contact with the shadow, observe the same in- structions, and the 24-minute mark will indicate the point where the shadow finally withdraws. Barring the intervention of clouds, the eclipse tonight will be visible at Washing- ton, and generally the beginning in the western portions of Europe and Africa, in the Atlantic ocean, North and South Amer- fea and the Eastern Pacific ocean, and the ending in the Western Atlantic ocean, North and South America and the Pacific ocean. —_—->— ‘Will Bolt Hurst’s Nomination.

Stirring Sights of the Opening Di Creditable Displnys Exhibited. Speclal Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, September 3.—The forty- second annual exhibition of the Agricul- tural Society of Montgomery county open- ed here this morhing under the most fa- vorable circumstances, the weather being cool and bracing. It was expected that a large amount of the stock and articles for exhibition would be in place by Monday evening, but such was not the case, and this morning there was much confusion in all departments, and exhibitors were crowd- ing each other in their desire to secure eligible positions for the best display. Dur- ing the forenoon the large exhibition hall has been the scene of bustle und confusion, and from present appearances this will continue the greater part of the day. Packages of fruit, flowers, vegetables, fancy work, pictures, preserves, jellles and other kinds of woman's handiwork are ar- riving at short intervals and being placed in position as fast as possible. One side of as the entire lower floor of the hall has been assigned for the display of vegetables, fruits, seed, &c., by the Maryland experi- ment station, and a large proportion of the exhibits are in place, but much re- mains yet to be done. From present ap- pearances the display in the hall promises to be the largest and finest in the history of the society. Outside the hall is the usual medley of sights characteristic of a first day at a country fair. Interspersed with machinery and agricultural implements, chicken coops and dog pens are the innumerable side skews, peddlers and fakirs of every de- scription, each trying to attract the crowd by every device that can produce a noise. The sharp crack of the rifle in the shoot- ing galleries {s answered by the long-halr- ed individual in the linen duster, who is disposing of massive gold watches for a mere song, and occasionally throwing in a few first-water diamonds for good measure. The knights of the cane and ring boards call loudly for customers, and are answer- ed in turn by the exhibitors of snakes, par- tially petrified negroes and wild beasts frcm Borneo. The display of machinery, Implements, seeds and_ fertilizers is very creditable. Messrs. Griffith, Turner & Company of Bal- timore have a fine display of farm tools and machinery. Mr. John H. Gassaway of the county has on exhibition a corn har- vester which attracts much attention. The Washington exhibitors in the line of farm- ers’ supplies of all kinds are Orndorff & Truxton, W. E. Clark & Company and P. Mann & Company. During the entire morning the roads lead- ing to the grounds have been crowded with droves of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, and the pens and stables are fast filling up. The display of poultry so far as re- ceived is good. Many of the trotting and running horses are on the grounds, and generally appear to be in good condition for work. Among tho running stock, Mr. A. Hickman shows Bos- ton and Nancy; W. B. Shumate, Trumpet- er; George, W. King, Brightwood; ©. Fahr- rey, Judge Olds. Among the trotters Fen- ton Dorsey shows Prince; A. B. Prescott. Daisy Orloff; A. T. Wormley, Gilbert Red and Lee Edwards; Brice Bros., Sadie B., John R. and Fanny Goldiust; Thomas Null, Gladys, To Be, and Belle of Frostburg; Clay- ton Fahrney, Nina Noble, Golden Nuggett, Floss, Nellie S., Lucy B., Leland Stanford and Ray Gould; Thos.

The program for Wednesday 1s as follows: Judging exhibits, 10 a.m., grand cavalcade of stock in the race course. Races called at 12:30 p.m.; 2:27 class pacing; 2:50 class trotting; hurdle race, six furlongs; running, six furlongs; hunters’ prize contest, No. 1; hunters’ prize contest, No. 2. It was anounced that the gubernaxorial candidates, Messrs. Hurst and Lowndes, tegether with Governor Brown, would all be at the fair Thursday. This morning it was stated that Mr. Hurst and Governor Brown would be here tomorrow, while Mr. zeynace would have Thursday all to him- self. —.___ SILVER’S DEMONETIZATION,. on the Law of Secretary Carlis! pt A special from Palestine, Tex., says: Ex- Senator John Reagan, in his recent speech. before the silver convention at Fort Worth, referred in very uncomplin;entary terms to the Secretary of the Treasury of the Unit- ed States and insinuated that Mr. Cariisle, in his Memphis and Covington speeches, “made statements utterly unwzrranted;” that certain portions of his argument were misrepresentations of facts, and that on account of the high standing of the gentle- man the pcople were being led to belleve in that which he seemed to think was un- true. Mr. Carlisle has answered the charges in a letter to John Young Gecch of Galveston. Mr. Gooch is one of the best-known dem- ocrats in Texas, was for six years a mem- ber of the state senate, and was at one time a law partner of Judge Reagan. Secretary Carlisle's letter bears date of August 29, and is in part as follows: “The denial of Mr. Kelly that he knew the centents of the act of 1873 is most re- markable in view of the fact that he intro- duced the bill himself into the House of Representatives, and that when he intro- duced it it contained no provisions what- ever for the coinage of any kind of silver dollars. It was subsequently amended in the House so as to provide for a dollar con- taining 384 grains of silver, which was to be legal tender to the extent of $5 and no more. In the Senate this amendment was struck out, and a provision was inserted for the coinage of a silver dollar contain- ing 420 grains of standard silver, to be called the ‘trade dollar,” and intended for use in China and oriental countries in com- petition with the Mexican dollars. “It is quite possible that some of the members of the Hous and Senate did not know that the act of 1873 omitted the old standard silver dollar from the coinage, but it is scarcely possible that a majority of them did not unéerstand its provisions in this respect. The truth ts that nobody cared very much about the silver dollar at the time, as it had not been in circulation in this country for at least thirty-five years, it constituted no part of our cur- rency and the bullion contained In it was then worth more than the bullion contained in the gold dollar.’ —__—+ee______ RUN DOWN BY A WILDCAT ENGI Fifty Persons Injared in a Railroad Collision on Long Island. An appalling railroad accident occurred at 3:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon near Woodlawn Station, L. I, of the Sea Beach railroad, in which fifty persons were in- jured. While train No. 8, drawing seven- teen cars, which were crowded almost to suffocation by excursionists, was standing at the Woodlawn Station, a wildcat engine came thundering along the tracks in its wake and crashed into the rear car, teles- coping it. The car was full of passengers, most of- whom came from New York. Many people saw the engine tearing along and jumped from the train, and thus saved their lives. A colored porter yelled to the passengers to jump. The runaway engine dashed into the rear car, smashing it into kindling wood and burying men, women and children beneath it. There was a mad rush of surging hu- manity from the train. Scarcely half a dozen people kept their heads or were able to render assistance to the injured. Patrol- man Kelly, who was on duty at the sta- tion, turned in several ambulance calls, and five ambulances from the surrounding hospitals promptly resporded. In the meantime the woodwork of the wrecked carriage caught fire and was soon in a blaze. Four cars were completely de- stroyed before the train hands were able to uncouple them and four cars were teles- coped by the collision. . Most of the injured were taken to the hospitals and several will probably die. A Horse of Another Color. From Truth. “It is something,” mused the poet, “to have an imagination that scorns the bond- ege of earth and soars untrammeled through the cerulean infinity.” Ho paused to jot the phrase “cerulean infinity” in his notebook, hoping to make use of it at some future time. “But,”—he gazed wistfully into the win- dow of a cheap restaurant, where tho white-robed cook was Industriously turn- ing sinkers—‘to have the price of a plate of ham and beans in your pockets {s another thing.” He sighed meekly and once more mingled with the hurrying throng.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM The jubilee of the unification of the Ger- man empire, which was celebrated last night at Bricklayers’ Hall by a large num- ber of the German citizens of Washington and under the auspices of the Association of Veterans of the Franco-German war, was a magnificent success. The hall was beautifully “ecorated with the American and German colors inter- twined, while at various places on the walls were displayed the names of Strassburg, Metz, Seden, Paris and other famous vic- tories. Had the hall been twice as large it would not have sufficed to accommodate all who sought entrance, but all present enjoyed themselves in the extreme, and will long remember the event with pleasure. The program was begun with an overture by the orchestra, which was followed by an address by Mr. Rudolph Saur, president of the Unite? German Societies, explatning the object for which they had assembled. The Entrance of the Veterans. At the conclusion of President Saur’s re- marks the erchestra struck up a popular air, and during the performanee of this the veterans, who had meanwhile assembled in ‘ lower rcom, marcned into the hull. As the first veteran entered the vor of the meeting room the audience, among whom were many ladies, rose en masse and greeted the old soldiers with round after round of applause, all remaining standing until the veterans had taken the seats as- signed them near the stage. President Saur in some appropriate re- taarks extended a hearty welcome to the old warricrs, to which Mr. Joseph Colignon responded in an equally happy manner. In concluding his speech Mr. Colignon called upon all present to join in a “‘sala~ mander,”” which is a performance that Ger- mans, but only Germans, can execute to perfection. The anthem “Ecce Quam Bonum” was then rendered by the Saengerbund and Arion singing societies,“and this was fol- lowed by “Zur Silbernen Jubelfeter*| Deutschlands. Then the song “Ich Hatt einen Kameraden” was sung by the audi- ence, the orchestra accompanying. After a voluntary by the orchestra, jhe Chor a Capella (a) “Gebet vor der S-hlacht,” by Koerner, and (b) “An das Vaterland,” by Kreutzer, was rendered by the Wash- ington Saengerbund. An address by Mr. William: L. Elterich followed, and at its conclusion the audience, the orchestra ac- companying, sang “Deutschland, Deutsch- land Ueber Alles.” At this point a recess was taken, during which refreshments were served. Upon resuming the exercises the orches- tra played an overture, and then Mr. F. Claudy recited a poem. Next the Arion Singing Society rendered the Chor a Capelle—‘Das Deutsche Lied,” by Abt. Dr. Strack’s Scholarly Address. Dr. Christian Strack, president of the As- sociation of Veterans, responded to the toast, “‘The Greater Germany, and Its In- fluence Upon Germans in Other Lands.” Referring. to the last words of Mr. Claud: poem, “Remain, O, Germany, strong as thou art now, and to all thy sons always the fatherland,” and to the song, “Deutschland, Deutschland Ueber Alles,” Dr. Strack said: ‘The German literature abounded in the most inspiring patriotic songs, but in a good many of them, es in that which had been sung a little while ago, there was a certain melancholy, easily to be observed. There was good reason for that, for those songs had-been composed in the first quarter of this century, and in those times there had lived plenty of patriotic Germans, but there was no Ger- many, no fatherland. Our country had splendid works of science and fiction, but it lacked national unity and the strength and influence resulting therefrom. That lack was felt, perhaps, even more by those Germans that had emigrated to foreign countries, for what was the best recom- mendation for a young man who starts by himself in the world—his descent from a well-known and influential family—was missed by those emigrants. They could not say: Waldeck is my fatherland, or Lippe Detmold is my fatherland, for no- body knew those small principalities, and if they would say, Germany is my father- Jand, they would also have been asked what is Germany? “Why is it,” continued Dr. Strack, “that we even now are called by & name that does not belong to us, but to a nation that is much smaller than the Germans, but was much better known to the outside world in former days than Germany? Ger- maans living in foreign countries were often- times ill-treated, but there was no hope of protection from the old country for them in case their lives or their property were injured. In this country, too, even natur- alized German-Americans were, at the time of the knownothingism, subject to all sorts of insults, and they could hardly dare to talk their own larguage in public. “All that had been changed by the late war. The land of our birth, which had for centuries been the Cinderella among the nations of Europe, became by the success of that war all at once as a unify, the Jead- ing power of Europe.” Then Dr. Strack asked whether the Ger- man-Americans fully appreciated the bene- ficial effects, the glorious deeds of 1870-71 had hud upon their native country as well as upon themselves. In concluding his remarks he expressed the hope that this celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the unification of Germany might be conducive to a stronger unification of the German-Americans in this city and throughout the United States. After another overture by the orchestra Rev. E. Drewitz made an address on “The German Women in Peace and War,” his speech being received with many manifes- tations of approval. The songs “The Watch on the Rhine” and “The Star Spangied Banner” were sung, the orchestra leading amidst scenes of the wildest enthusiasm, and the rendi- tion of the latter closed the formal part of the program. The meeting did not, how- ever, adjourn until much later. Among the noted veterans present last night was Charles Otto Storm. He was a member of the third company, twelfth pioneer battalion of the Army of the Maas under the command of Prince Albert. He took part in the battles of Gravelotte, Metz, Verdun, Nonart, Beaumont, Sedan, Paris, Villers and Meziers. He was also a foldier in the Austrian campaign of 1866, and fought at Gitschin and Koniggratz. —___ THE MYSTIC SHRINE. - Chas. L. Fields of San Francisco Chosen Imperial Potentate.

The Silver Jubilee of the Capitulation of Napoleon. ‘The twenty-fifth anniversary of the sur- render of the French army at Sedan under Napoleon II was celebrated yesterday with impressive ceremonies throughout Germany. Berlin was one mass of decora- tions by day and a blaze of light by night, the castle and the reichstag building being made particularly brilliant by a lavish use of electric lights. After saluting the Americans on the Templehof field the emperor and empress reviewed the entire body-guard, and at the conclusion the emperor took his place at the head of the colors and led the regi- ments back to the city. He was received with enthusiastic ovations along the enure route, which was thronged with people, who pelted him with flowers. Last evening the whole city was bril- Nantly Muminated, even to the smallest and most remote streets. The castle was covered with innumerable electric lights and Bengal fire was burned on the tower of the rathhaus. Search lights illuminated the Brendenburg gate and the Frederick the Great memorial. Colored fairy lamps covered the public buildings and the large business houses. The grand tattoo began at 7:30 o'clock by all the bands of the guards corps in the Lustgarten. At a state dinner in the royal castle the kaiser toasted the guards, speaking warmly of the kings of Saxony and Wurtemburg, who were present. Emperor William early yesterday morn- ing telegraphed to Prince Bismarck as follows: “Today, when the whole of Germany is celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the historic capitulation of Sedan, I feel impelled to assure your highness that I shall always think with deep gratitude of the services which, during that great time, you rendered to my grandfather,the father- land and the German cavse. Prince Bismarck telegraphed the follow- ing reply: “I lay at the feet of your majesty my respectful thanks for the gra- clous telegraphic greeting this day and for your majesty’s kind recognition of my co- operation in the national work of the late Emperor William.” —eoe—___— THE LETTER CARRIERS. Postmaster General Wilson Dixcanses the Recent Secret Inspecti Five thousand men paraded in Philadel- phia yesterday, as a preliminary to the opening of the Letter Carriers’ National Association convention today. Seated upon the reviewing stand were Postmaster General Wilson, Postmaster Carr of Philadelphia, ex-Gov. Pattison, Mayor Warwick, ex-Postmaster Harrity, August W. Machen, superintendent of the. free delivery system; Postmaster Dayton of New York, Postmaster Francis H. Wood of Albany and his assistant, John R. Hay- den, Postmasters Sullivan of Brooklyn, Willett of Washington and Hesing of Chi- cago. Postmaster General Wilson attended a re- ception at night and made a speech, as- suring the men that fidelity to duty alone would be sufficient to guarantee their re- tention in the service. Referring to the recent secret inspections of the carrier service, of which much crit- icism has been made, he said that employ- ers adopted methods to inspect the quality and amount of work performed by their employes. “In the military service, in ad- dition to the regular and anticipated in- spections, there are, as you know, occa- sional and sudden calls to arms, to test the readiness and speed with which forces can be marshaled for action, and in the pres- ence of an enemy the soldier on the outpost must be prepared at any time for a visit from his officer, to ascertain how faithfully he is guarding the camp behind him. In our national banking system every cashier of a bank is Hable, without a moment's warning, to an overhauling of his books by a bank examiner. In our postal service every postmaster is Hable to a like visit from an inspector. No department’at the seat of government in a country so large as ours could administer the postal service in all its near and remote branches if it could not at will turn its search-light on any of those branches, however distant or seem- ingly unimportant. “Of the post offices examined the carrier service of thirty-six has been reported from all criticism. Of a total examination involving the work of 8,500 carriers only fifty-three cases have been found of such personal delinquency as to require separa- tion fromthe service, and that, in every in- stance, has been done after full cpportu- nity for hearing as to the delinquencies re- ported.” Addresses were also made by First As- sistant Postmaster General F. H. Jones, C. C. Cowden of Cleveland, president cf the Letter Carriers’ National Association; ex- Gov. Pattison, Postmaster Dayton of New York and Postmasier Sullivan of Brooklyn. Among the important subjects which will engage the attention of the convention will be the tenure-of-office bill, salary bill, pen- sion bill and the equalization of horse and carriage hire. ———oo_____ WHO JACK THE RIPPER Is. A Medical Student Who Developed a Homicidal Manin. Dr. Forbes Winslow of London, a well- krown specialist on suicide and insanity, ssys that Jack the Ripper, who, by his crimes, terrorized London a few years ago, is incarcerated in a county lunatic asylum in England. Dr. Winslow says this fact ts known to the authorities, but they have hushed up the case. Dr. Winslow also as- serts that the ripper was a medical student suffering from homicidal mania. “Jack the Ripper was a medical student of good family. He studied very hard, and his mird, being naturally weak, gave way. He became a religious enthusiast, and attended early service every morning at St. Paul's. His religious fervor resulted in homicidal meria toward the women of the street and impelled him to murder them.” —_——_+e-______ A Lieutenant the Army Arrested. Lieut. Cowles of ‘the sixteenth infantry, stationed at Fort Douglass, has been place] under arrest on a telegraphic order from the Secretary of War. It is said that he wil. be tried by court-martial for trregu- larities in the quartermaster’s department. The irregularities are understood to have been disclosed ‘n the court-martial cf Sergt. Grandiee, held recently. Grandlea was found guilty of conspiring to defraud the goverment in the handling of sup- plies and sentenced to four years’ imprison- ment. Other arrests in the same connec- tion are expected. A LOSS OF $e0,o00.o00!!! Labor-saving inventions or discoveries have often been violently opposed on the ground that they take workingmen’s bread out of their mouths. Al- though experience has shown the fallacy of that theory the feeling, or fear, was natural. But it is not so much the lack of work as the Mmabtiity to work that causes poverty and suffering. In England and Wales every workingman averages ten days of sickness every sear, with @ total loss of wages for all of about $80,000,000 per year. In this country the loss is much greater. In all countries the prevailing disense 1s indigestion and dyspepsia and Its consequences—such as rheuma- tism and other allments resulting from impure blood; a result of dyspepsia. No thorough, rapld and trustworthy cure for this universal and obstinate maludy existed until the Mt. Lebaron (N. ¥.) Community of Shakers placed upon the market thelr now famous remedy called the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It 1s prepared from roots and herbs cultivated solely by them. Nothing more certain, safe and palatable can be imagined. It expels the impurities from the body by means of the bowels, kidneys and skin and imparts vigor and toue to the stomach—upon whose proper action all our strength, activity avd endurance depends. For many yenrs the Shakers have given earnest at- tention to this subject, and their final success s thankfully admitted Ly the multitudes who have been cured by the Cordial after all other means have failed. Their bigh reputation for skill as herbalists, for honesty and religious sincerity guur- antess whatever they recommend. : No invention can ever take your work from you if you are able to work. Health and strength are the vital considerations, In order to find whether the Shaker Digestive Cordial is adapted to your case try a small bottle.
