B. SEXT DISFRANCHISING THE NEGRO. Senator Tillman’s Educational Quali- filention Likely to Be Adopted. A Columbia, S. C., special to the New York World, dated October 2, says: It is likely that Senator Tillman's scheme to disfranchise the negroes of this state will be adopted by the constitutional convention tomorrow. It is all over with the blacks. The work of educating the Tace must come to a rude and sudden end with the enactment of an educational qual- ification for voters to secure the undis- puted supremacy of the whites. The one real solution of this glant prob- lem seems to be white immigration from the northern and western states. Should 300,000 white men come into South Caro- lina to live, the white race would have a safe political majority, and there would no longer be a reason for disfranchising the negro or withholding education and the means of progress from him, and this so- lutioa may not be so distant. Northern capital 1s pouring into the state and new cotton mills are being built. There will soon be a great demand for skilled white labor, forthe whites will not work with blacks in the mills, and they must be op- erated by whites alone. soe. Big Money for an Imugination.

John L. Stevens, eighty years old, after an absence of thirty years, will be reunited with his family at Columbia, 8. C., before the close of the present week. Several days ago the man, old and feeble, with white hair and beard, reached this city, having walked here from some other city, but from just what place he was unable to tell. A policeman found him wandering about the streets, and as an act of charity picked him up and took him to the police station. There the old man said he was a stranger. He was penniless and help- less, but he had a brother in Columbia, 8. C., who he thought would assist him if he only knew of his whereabouts. But the police instead of sending him to some ckaritable institution had him taken in the crowd of prisoners of every. descrip- tion to the Police Court and arraigned on a charge of vagrancy. To this accusation the infirm old man said he was not guilty,.and told to Judge Kimball the story he had related to the police. His brother, Aaron Stevens, he was certain would assist him, and Judge Kimball had him committed to the aims- house until his brother could be heard from. Deputy Clerk N. C. Harper addressed @ letter to the brother in South Carolina, and in response to this came a telegram showing the interest taken in the absent one, and this morning a letter was re- ceived from W. S. Monteith, an insurance man at Columbia, as follows: “Your communication of- the 28th in- stant addressed to Mr. Aaron Stevens of this city is before me, and at my sugges- tion he telegraphed you today, and now 1 beg to band you a draft to your order for the sum of $16. Purchase a through ticket to this point by the Southern railway and start the old gentleman on the train which leeves Washington at 11 o'clock. He will arrive here about midnight and will be taken care of by his brother. I beg to ex- tend to you and the officials with you the thanks of Aaron Stevens for kindness shown to his brother, from whom he has not heard for thirty years.” This letter was handed to Judge Kim- ball, who directed the discharge of the old man. He will be put on the train tomor- row end sent to his brother's home. Se A Story of Mystery. Do you know what a “Story of Mystery” is? It 1s a continued story of which all but the last chapter is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final installment is printed. On October seventh a most interesting mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” will be started in The Star, and five hundred dollars will be given for the first absolutely correct solution. In ease no guess is abso- lutely correct the amount will be divided among those nearest to a correct solution. The guesses will be confined to women read- ers.

According to the report of the State De- partment from United States Consul Bige- low at Rouen, the world’s production of wool has not increased during the past year, but has actually diminished. The figures collected by the permanent custom house commissioners show that in 1893 the quantity of wool available for commerce Was one thousand and twelve millions of kilograms, as against one thousand and two millions in 1894. In France the product has steadily diminished from 32,151,430 kilo- grams in 1840 to 20,275,716 in 1893. The quality of wool does not improve, and owing to the high price of meat sheep are being raised for that purpose instead of for wool.

The twelfth season of the Corcoran Scien- tific School of Columbian University was cpened last evening by appropriate exer- cises in the lecture hall of the university.

Dcuglass of South Carolina, who gave some words of good advice to the young men. Brief addresses were also made by Justices Morris and Shepard of the Court of Appeals, Judge Jeremiah Wil- son and Messrs. R. Ross Perry, J. J. Dar- lington and T. A. Lambert. National Homeopathic Medical College The third annual course of lectures of the National Homeopathic Medical College was begun last evening at the new home of the institution, 625 Massachusetts avenue.

Mrs. Cabell, the principal, introduced the teach- ers who were present and made a feeling and earnest address to both pupils and parents. SS EARTHQUAKE IN CHINA. Swatow Visited by a Severe Seismic Disturbance on August 31. According to Chinese mail advices, Swa- tow, on August 31, suffered the most severe earthquake shock ever experienced there. It had been excessively hot during the day and many of the Europeans had compigined of a dull, oppressive feeling in the air. Just before the rain fell heavily. Much damage was done to native houses and a little to foreign property. Some idea of the severity of the shock may be had from the fact that the ships in the harbor were shaken from truck to keelson, and the mud in the river was agitated so much that in a few min- utes the color of the water was chenged from blue to brown. a Mrs. Waller Sails for Home. A special cable dispatch to the New York World from Paris says: Mrs. Waller, wife of the ex-consul arrested by the French in Madagascar, sailed today with her four children from Boulogne aboard the steam- ship Amsterdam. Ambassador Eustis has provided for all their wants and paid their passage home. All are now in good health. ——+e+—___ : A Harvard Instructor Found Dead. Elliott F. Rogers of Chicago, formerly of Worcester, an instructor in chemistry at Harvard, was found dead in one of the lakoratories in Bolyston Hall, Cambridge, Mass., yesterday afternoon. The case is somewhat mysterious, though indications point to suicide. Rogers at times suffered from mental aberration, and of late he has been unable to prepare his lectures and do his work in chemistry properly. Mr. Driver of Cambridge and Medical Examiner Dur- rell of Somerville viewed the body and pro- nounced it a case of probable suicide. opening of the new building at the Catholic University and of the eucharistic congress have passed off so smoothly that the visit- ors will carry away with them only pleas- ant recollectiors of their stay at the capi- tal. . The sessicns of the eucharistic congress for the reading of papers were begun yes- terday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the uni- versity. They were presided over by Bishop Maes of Covington, Ky., and were opened by a prayer in Latin by Cardinal Gibbons. After this Bishop Macs made a brief ad- dress, in which he said that it was very appropriate that the first meeting of the Eucharistic League in this country should be held at the capital and in this great in- stitution of learning. He also spoke of the Purposes of the league and the relation it bears to the Catholic clergy. Cardinal Gibbons was called upon for a speech, and he told of the great interest that is felt by the pope in the work of the league. The pope had expressed the hcpe that this would result in many congresses. and be a source of greater love and knowl- edge of Christ among the beloved citizens of the United States. The Pope’s Letter. Rey. James Mitchell was selected to read a letter addressed to the congress by the pope. It was in Latin, and a translation is as follows: “As we are of opinion that all manner of Catholic congresses should be promoted al- ways by our approval, we are likewise re- solved to bestow our special favor upon those which for their ends have the glorifi- cation of the divine eucharist, and, indeed, with no slight pleasure we have witnessed the faithful in many of the countries of Europe assembling for this purpose under the guidance of their bishops, but our con- solation was supreme when, two years “go, we saw them gathering from afar in Jeru- salem, and we have felt our joy greatly in- creased by those most abundant fruits of piety which have everywhere accrued to the immense advantage of religion. We have learned with exceeding great pleasure that a eucharist congress, with del2gates from all of the United States of America, is to be held in Washington during the month of October; wherefore, beloved son, we commend your determination, and earn- estly pray God to lead your endeavors to the success for which you long. But what we wish most of all, however, is that your congress and your united prayers may ef- fect the result which, as you know, we have most at heart—that is, that all who differ from us may be brought back to the unity of faith and charity. Meanwhile, as a pledge of our fatherly affection and as the harbinger of divine gift, receive the apostolic benediction which we lovingly grant to yourself and to all who shall take part in the eucharistic congress.” Bishop Keane's Address. By invitation of Bishop Maes, Bishop Keane addressed the delegates In a short speech of welcome on behalf of the univer- sity. They were ten thousand times wel- come, he said, to all the accommodations which the university authorities could ex- tend to the visitors. After speaking briefly of the university and of the interest that he personally took in the [Eucharistic League, Bishop Keane announced that the Catholic laity of Washington was desirous of showing its sympathy with the object of the congress by tendering the delegates a reception at Carroll Institute this evening. The secretary, Rey. Mitchell, read the greetings from the directors general of the league in India, Germany and elsewhere, which were received with applause, and then Bishop Maes called for the reading of the papers. Three papers were read, as fol- lows: Rev. E. R. Dyer, D. D., 8S. S., of St. Mary’s Seminary, Baltimore, “The Place of the Holy Eucharist in the Divine Plan of Salvation.” Rev. D, McMahon, D. D., of St. Thomas’ Church, New York city, “The Holy. Euchar- ist and the Personal Life of the Priest.” Rev. D. F. Feehan of St. Bernard’s Church, Fitchburg, @fass., “The Holy Eu- charist and the Ministry of the Priest.” Today's Sessions. This morning the congress resumed its sessions at the university and continued the reading of papers These are doctrinal in character and chiefly of interest to the clergy. The remaining papers were read at the morning and afternoon sessions to- day, the latter closing up the work of the congress. The papers are as follows: “How to Promote Devotion to the Blessed Sacra- ment Among the People,” by Rev. J. F. Foley of St. Kevin's Church, St. Louls, Mo.; “The Manner of Preparing (a) Children and (6) Adults for Their First Holy Commun- fon and of Grounding Them in an Abiding Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament,” by Rev. H. J. Heuser, D. D., editor of the American. Ecclesiastical Review; “The Priests’ Eucharistic League,” by Rev. H. Brinkmeyer, president of St. Gregory’s Seminary, Cincinnati. At the conclusion of the afternoon session there will be a procession around the grounds of the university, closing with the benediction in the chapel. Am Adoration Service. Last evening there was a very impressive service at St. Patriek’s Church, the adora- ticn of the Eucharist. Almost all of the visiting and many of the local clergy were present. The church was in semi-darkness, but the altar was brilliantly lighted with many candles, while the red light of the sanctuary glowed above the chancel. The celebrant was Archbishop Elder of Cincin- pati, who was assisted by Father Gloyd, the rector of the church, and Father McGee as master of ceremonies. Meeting of the Archbishops. Yesterday afternoon the annual meeting of the archbishops of the United Staies was held at the university. The meeting was merely for the consideration of minor diocesan matters, and the results of the conference were not made public. Those present were Cardinal Gibbons, as arch- bishop of Baltimore; Archbishop Williams of Boston, Archbishop Corrigan of New York, Archbishop Kain of St. Louis, Arch- bishop Elder of Cincinnati, Archbishop Hennessey of Dubuque, Iowa; Archbishop Janssens of New Orleans and Archbishop Vertin of Marquette, who represented Archbishop Kaetzer of Milwaukee, at pres- ent absent in Rome. Indian Missions. The board of directors of the Catholic Indian Mission held a meeting at the uni- versity yesterday. This board consists of Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishops Williams of Boston, Corrigarof New York and Ryan of Philadelphia, and Mgr. Stephan. Car- dinal Gibbons denounced as Utterly untrue the published statement that Mgr. Ste- phan is preparing to arraign Secretary Hoke Smith before the Catholics of the United States on account of his attitude toward the Indian mission bureau of the Catholic Church. There will be no change in the policy of the church in dealing with the board of missions, and the present board of directors will remain in office. History of the League. The Eucharistic League, under whose auspices the congress is held, is an old or- ganization in Europe, where it numbers many thousand members. Its object is to promote devotion to the holy Eucharist, and each member obligates himself to spend atvleast one hour each day in ador- ation of the sacrament. The American branch of the order was instituted at Notre Dame, Indiana, a year ago last Au- gust. The direcior general is Rev. Bede Maler of St. Meinrad’s Abbey, Indiana. The directors of the several archdioceses are Rev. Edmund Didier, Baltimore; Very Rev. Joseph Rainer, Milwaukee; Rev. Chas. Denovel, New Orleans; Rev. James Tro- bec, St. Paul; Rev. J. Flanagan, St. Louis; Rev. Henry Brinkmeyer, Cincinnati, and Rev. Edward Kalvelage, Chicago. President of the Congress. The president of the congress is the third bishop of Covington, the Right Rev. Camil- lus Paul Maes, a‘native of Belgium, born at Courtral, in West Flanders, March 13, 1846. He made his classical studies in the college in his native city, and entered the Seminary Bruges to prepare for the priest- hood. Desirous, however, of devoting him- self to the mission in this country, he pro- ceeed to the American’ College at Louvain, where he completed his theological course, and was ordained for the diocese of Detroit December 16, 1868. On his arrival in Michi- gan he was made pastor of St. Peter's, Mount Clemos, and after two years of serv- ice was assigned to Monroe, one of the oldest seats of the Catholic faith in America. Here he became pastor of St. Mary’s Church in 1871, and two years later of St. John’s. In September, 1884, he was elected to the see of Covington, and attended the plenary council in Baltimore. After its close he was conse- crated in the cathedral at Covington by Archbishop Elder of Cincinnati, assisted by Bishop Borgess of Detroit and Bishop Mc- Closky of Louisville, January 25, 1885. Since then he has been continually engaged in the work of the diocese, besides pursuing his course of studies on the early history of the Catholic Church in America. The Director General. Rey. Bede Maler, O. S. B., the director general of the league, is a comparatively yorng man. He was born in Bavaria in 1848, was educated at Augsburg, Munich, and was ordained a priest in 1871. Since 1875 he has been a resident of the United States, living for a short time at Concep- tion, Mo. In 1878 he took up his residence at the Benedictine Abbey, St. Meinrad, Ind., where he has since then held the position of Professor of theology in the ecclesiastical seminary connected with the abbey. His tastes are literary. Prof. Maler’s duties in connection with the congress are altogether executive. He will read no paper nor make any address, but during the sessions of the league he acts as chairman for th of the diocesan directors. peau ‘The directors in the dioceses are: Kansas City, Kan., Very Rev. J. Redeker; Louis- ville, Ky., Very Rev. Louis G. Deppin; Omaha, Neb., Very Rev. J. Ruesing; Sioux Falls, S. D., Rev. C. Saint Pierre; Vincennes, Ind., the general director; San Antonio, Rev. F. A. Dumoulin; Springfield, E. Fitzgerald; Covington, Ky., Rev. St. Schmidt; Detroit, Mich., Very Rev. J. Friedland; Duluth, Minn., Rev. George Schefold, O. §. B.; Erie, Pa., Rev. M. J. Decker; Fort Wayne, Ind., Rev. Hy. Meiss- ner; Grard Rapids, Mich., Rev. E. E. Cald- well; Green Bay, Wis., Rev. Father Vail- ant; Hartford, Conn., Rev. Charles J. Mc- Elroy; Alton, Til, Rev. Joseph Meckel: Belle- ville, Ill, Very Rev. W. Chase, V. G.; Bur- lngton, Vt., Rev. Anthony Clermons; Cleve- land, Ohio, Rev. J. M. Koudelka. The committee having the preliminary ar- rangements for the congress in charge con- sisted of Archbishop Elder of Cincinnati, shop Kain of St. Louis an Maes of Kentucky. belies ae Reception by Carroll Institate. This evening at 8 o'clock the members of Carroll Institute will give a reception et thelr handsome hall, on 10th street, in honcr of the delegates to the eucharistic congress.

His Friends Still Urging His statement. The citizens interested in the case of ex- Fireman Wenzel, who was recently dis- missed by the fire department trial board, have not given up all hope of having their friend reinstated. _Although both verdicts of the trial board were unfavorable to Wen- zel, and the report of the case by the as- sistant attorney for the District, who heard the testimony, bore out the verdict, the friends of Wenzel still believe him innocent and state that he has not had a fair trial. This morning a large number of Mr. Wen- zel's friends appeared before Commissioner Ross and presented an exhaustive State- ment of the case. The statement sets forth the belief that the report of the assistant attorney is a tissue of misrepresentations and unworthy of any weight in arriving at a conclusion. Commissioner Ross, after listening to the reading of the statement, asked what further the citizens desired him to do. He had given the present case the most care- ful consideration and had exhausted every means to get at the exact state of affairs. He had designated the assistant attorney to be present at the second trial, not as the representative of the District in order that a conviction might be obtained, but for the Purpose of listening to the testimony and making a report thereon which would cover the case. This he had done. The assistant attorney had been known to him for a num- ber of year, and his reputation for fairness and sterling integrity was second to none at the bar. If the citizens would appoint a subcommittee and have it formulate a plan whereby the Commissioners could take further action he would be glad to lay it before the board and further consider the matter. Among those present were Dr. L. D. Walter, A. M. Raymond, James Mc- Candlish, RK. E. Ditto, W. E. Dement, C. R. Talvert, Williem Meyers, Charles H. Mar- tin, E. L. Dorson, Emery E. Grosh, Will- jam Rucker, J. E. Dunn, J. J. O'Keefe, = Malone, Patrick Mahaney and John rtin. _Rein- FATALLY DEFECTIVE. Lucky Escape of Joseph Miller, Charg- ed With Larceny. Joseph Miller, a young colored man, was acquitted in Criminal Court No. 2, today of larceny from the person, owing to a fatally defective indictment. In stating the government's case to the jury, Assistant District Attorney Jeffords explained that last June Miller met the lit- tle daughter of Eliza Henderson, a colored Washingtonian, near the Baltimore and Potomac station. He asked the girl who her mother washed for, when the gir! told him for a Mrs. Healey. Miller, said Mr. Jeffords, then told the girl that Mrs. Healey had told him to get the money, $1.35, which Mrs. Healey had paid her. The girl refused, when Miller told her that if she would accompany him to the railroad station, where, he said, Mr. Healey was, Mr. Healey would assure her that it was all right. When they reached the station, Miller told the girl that if she would hand him the money he would take it to Mr. Healey and then bring him out. The girl did so, but, unlike the cat, Miller never came back. Upon Mr. Jeffords’ statement, Mr. T. C. Taylor, Miller’s counsel, asked for a ver- dict of acquittal, on the ground that the alleged offense was not one of larceny whatever else it might be. Judge Cox agreed with Mr. Taylor, remarking that the offense might be false pretenses, but surely was not larceny. He therefore di- rected a verdict of not guilty and ordered that Miller be released from custody. ——_—————— A Mental Stimulus.

Brought Into the Police Court and the Husband’s Personal Bonds Taken. A young wife, a mother-in-law, a great amount of whisky and alleged hypnotic in- fluence figured in the Shreeves assault case heard in the Police Court this morning. Maud Shreeves is only sixteen years old, so her mother says, and thirteen months ago she married Charles E. Shreeves, an usher at the National Theater, who Is also a lithographer by trade. The young wife's maiden name was Maud Gilbert, and her mother keeps a boarding house on Mis- souri avenue. *: Maud, who is'a rather good-looking girl, first attracted attention when, more than @ year ago, she left hoine and went away to g2 on the stage. She went to New York, and her absence caused her mother much anxiety. Recently the young couple have been living in a room at 739 13th street, and there it was that they had trouble about 1 o'clock Sunday morning, which end- ed in the court case today. Lawyer Currington represented Mrs. Gil- bert’s son-in-law in court this morning and Questioned the witnesses. The girl wife was first put on the stand and she related the story of her domestic unhappiness, which she attributed to her husband's intemperate habits. Saturday night, after the theater was out, she said, her husband came home un- der the influence of liquor and quarreled with her. “It was between 12 and 1 o'clock,” she said, “‘and he struck at me. Then he struck me, ard I said I was going to return to my mother.” She stated that when she said this and started to dress he would take off her gar- ments as she would put them on, and he said: “If you go home to your mother I'll _ kill_ you.” “Why did you want to go to your moth- ers?” “For protection.” When questioned by Mr. Carrington, Mrs. Shreeves said that her mother was as much afraid of him as she was. While he was working at his trade they lived at her mother’s, but when he lost his position they went to live in a room. ‘Did he support you?” “As well as he could on $4 a week.” Mr. Carrington questioned the young wife to show that it was a case of too mucn mother-in-law, but this the witness denied. “Has your mother urged you to leave him?” 2 “No, sir.” “But your mother had some influence over you?” “No, sir,” answered Mrs. Shreeves, “but my husband had a psychological influence over me.” “Do you mean he hypnotized you?” “Yes, sir.” “Are you now willing to live with him if he stops drinking and will do right?” “No, sir,” she answered, “my love for him_has been killed.” “Fell and broke the hypnotic spell,” re- marked the court. Mrs. Shreeves admitted that when the husband ill treated her she slapped him and made his nose bleed. Mrs. Gilbert, the mother-in-law, who is a clerk in the Treasury Department, was next called, and she told the court of her objection to the marriage, and of the man- ner of their living since they were married. The husband was sworn in his own be- half, but he was hardly certain of the cause of the trouble between his wife and himself. “T still love her,” he said, ing to return and care for her.’ He admitted that he had a bottle of whisky at the house on the night in ques- tion. He said he earned $4 a week, and paid $2 room rent. “When my wife wants beer,” he said, “I go out and get a can.” In a general way he charged that his wite had become a faultfinder. When he bought butter and paid 40 cents a pound for it she said it was oleomargarine. Then she complained that she should not be re- quired to bring water to the room. The witnesses were questioned and cross- questioned, and then Private Detective Mc- Devitt was called. He characterized the affair as a case of deep love on the man’s part, and told of the defendant's promise not to molest his wife. Mr. Carrington, discussing the affair, said that there was an old saying that lovers could live in a garret and cook on an oil stove. “It is a case of better or worse,” he said, “but the mixture of oleomargarine and whisky, I'll admit, is a bad combination.” Mr. Mullowny claimed that the young man ought to be put under bond, and dur- ing the course of his argument he said: “When there is love and whisky on one side against hatred on the other, the result is often homicide.” Judge Miller, after listening to all the testimony, including the statement of the defendant that his wife had struck him ard that his sister and mother-in-law had opposed the match, warned him that he must not further interfere with his wife. So far as their marriage relations are con- cesned, the civil courts would have to be appealed to. The judge assured the young man that he was In no danger, as his wife had left him and wanted him to leave her. It was the duty of the court to protect the woman, and this he did by requiring the young man to give his personal bonds to keep the peace for six months. ‘ eee Discharged From Custody. At the suggestion of Assistant District Attorney Jeffords, Judge Cox today dis- charged from custody Thomas Williams, a colored man, who was committed to jail by Coroner Hammett as an accomplice of John, alias Patsy, Harris, who killed Mat- thew Spruell in Georgetown on the 4th of last July. Mr. Jeffords explained that in returning an indictment for murder against Harris the grand jury had reported that Williams had nothing to do with the kill- ing, and Mr. T. Tayler, Williams’ counsel, characterized the man’s imprisonment us wholly unwarranted, he merely happening to be a witness of the shooting. eee Stories for Saturday.
