Last week Rilson called at the printing house of Williamson & Beecher, and, repre- senting himself as the agent of a cancel- ing punch for the use of banking houses, negotiated for the printing of several thousand national bank checks, which, he said, he meant to use In advertising his patent punch.

Today is the first of the ortolan and reed bird season on the Patrxent river. This Promises to be one of the best seasons for these birds for many years. There are a 800d crop of wild oats and plenty of birds, and today, the 5th of September, found many sportsmen from New York, Phila- delphia, Baltimore and Washington enjoy- ing tho sport. Twenty-five or thirty of these sportsmen came overland last right, and a good many of them arrived several days ago in order to secure the services of a good pusher. Mr. Richard H. Smith of Washington, president of the Patuxent Rod and Gun Club, was expected to be at the club house on the Patuxent last night, so as to get a good start on the first day.

Legal Responsibility of the Inebri- nte. Sociology and criminology formed the sub- jects discussed yesterday morning at the meeting of the medicolegal congress in New York. The session opened with Mr. Moril Z. Ellinger pr siding. The business opened with five-minute address: >. The chairman in opening sald there was no more important matter between the legal and medical sciences than the point where they met. This was important, especially in the matters of public health, and more particularly of insanity. Lawyers should keep their minds open, and law, like every- thing else, should be progressive. To the medical brethren he said if they bad a theory let them not be rigidly logical, let them rather be practical. Dr. T. D. Crothers read a paper on “Le- gal Responsibility in Inebriety,” which was laid over from Wednesday. He held that imebriety was a disease, and that excess of alcohol paralyzed the nerves and brain. In the discussion of the paper Albert Back said the courts very properly Leld the inebriate responsible for crime, because he knew what the effect of his taking alco- holic drink would be. He admitted that a man in an alcoholic trance was not really responsible for his actions, and it would be a dangerous thing to permit the tnebriate to escape punishment for his crinie. Dr. Forbes Winslow said the only cure for the habitual drunkard was to lock him up. In England, however, a man in delirium tremens when he got weil could bring a civil action against the doctor who restrain- ed him. There should, he thought, be a distinction made in the matter of responsibility be- tween the man who got drunk occasionally and the habitual drunkard. The chairman then introduced the regu- lar subjects of the morning. Dr. Crothers in a five-minute talk sald criminology was in a state of chaos at the present time. In studying crime the man should be considered, and he believed the criminal was stamped on the physical body. Dr. Rosse of Washington was then called upon to preside. Dr. Forbes Winslow then read a paper on “Suicide Considered as a Mental Epidemic.” +0* The Waller Court-Martial Record. The State Department has been advised that the record in the Waller court-mar- tial, for which the French authorities found it necessary to send to Madagascar, Is expected to reach Aden, on the Red sea, about the 12th instant. After its arrival there some time will be required for its transmittal to Washington, so that it Is expected to be at least a month before the department can be in full possession of all the facts in the case. In all probability no further step will be taken by the department in this matter until this examination shall be made. ‘The department is in receipt of the full state- ment of the case as prepared by the com- mander of the Castine. It is believed that the irritation of the French authorities at Tamatave was really aroused by. his in- vestigation into this case rather than by his failure to salute the French flag. Both Have Been Discharged. A dispatch has been received at the State Department from Mr. Pringle, charge @'affalres at Guatemala, announcing the’ di: arge by the authorities of Robert J. Breckinridge and C. C. Goff, both citizens of the United States. These men were arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the murder on the 16th of July of P. O. D. Brooks, cashier of an agency company at Livingston and said to be a young Amer- ican, —_——_+- 0+ ____ Some Queer Polson From St. Paul's. The Bombay government's analyst has been investigating the various poisons that are used in India, and in the course of his report he disposes of the old notion that pounded glass is the most deadly kind of substance you can mix with the food of any one against whom you entertain a particular grudge. “Pounded glass,” he say “is a Most useful polson.” He does not, of course, mean by this that it as- sists digestion or can safely be recom- mended as a pick-me-up after a hard day's work, but that it is useful in the sense of not doing very much harm to the person whose life {s aimed at and leading very easily to the detection gf the would-be murderer. If it is pounded until it be- comes very fine, it causes merely, slight discomfort and can le detected in the os mouthful of the fcod with which it is mixed. The same may be said, it appears cf diamond dust, tiger's whiskers, chopped hair and such like. After all, two penn- ‘orth of blackbeetle-killer is as good—or A bad—as anything, and you can get this at the nearest grocer’s. Where, I wonder, would you have to go in search of tiger’ whisker$ or diamond dust? ——+e+ His Rare Gift.- From the Arkansaw Traveler. ‘The postmaster at Lickskillet, Ark.,writes as follows: “Don’t send your paper any more to Oscar Hallum, fur he’s dead. He wuz a mighty good reader, he wuz, and would sometimes read one cf your jokes in such a funny way that folks would laugh. 'Twasn’t what wuz in the artikle, but it wuz the way he read it.” —> VIRGINIA GOOD TEMPLARS. Proceedings) of the Grand Lodge at Lynchbur; Special Correspotidesice of The Evening Star.

The civil service commission has been asked what part letter carriers were. jal- lowed to take in polities under the civil service law, further than merely casting their votes. iThe commission reply that any specific euestions should properly be submitted to: the Post Office Department, but call attention to the executive instruc- tions of the President of July 14, 1886, which, it said, are yet in force, and part of the postal rules. In this declaration the dent warned office holders “against the use of their’ official positions in at- tempts to cohtrol political movements in 6,” and added: “Office hold- ers shi \d sefupulously avold, in their po- litical action, as+weil as in the discharge of their official’ duties, offending, by dis- play of obtrusive.partisanship, their neigh- bors who have relations with them as pub- lic offivials, * * * The influence of feder- al office holders should not be felt in the mamipulation ‘of political primary meetings and nominating conventions. °° In- dividual interest and activity in political affairs are by no means condemned. Office holders are neither disfranchised nor for- bidden the exercise of political privileges; but their privileges are not enlarged nor is their duty to party increased to per- niclous activity by office holding.” The reply of the commission concludes as follows: ‘Those who enter the classt- fied service upon the ground of ascertain- ed merit, as established by the civil service rules, and are protected therein, should be auick to recognize the reciprocal obli- gation thereby Imposed and avoid any ac- tion which now or at any future time could reasonably be subject to adverse po- litical criticism.” - MANY APPLICANTS, These Who Desire to Be at the Hend of the Fish Commission, There are many candidates for the place of fish commissioner, made vacant by the death of Mr. McDonald.
