POTTER AND MILLER The Ohicago Evangelists Conduct a Revi- val at Hamline Oburch. They Attract a Large Congregation and Secure Several Converts to Christianity. A large assemblage filled Hamline M. E. Church last night and greeted Evangelists Petter and Miller, who conducted the re- vival meeting, which was held with a warm appreciation that must have been gratifying to them. Upon their appear- ance on the platform, Mr. Miller took his seat at the organ and Mr. Potter requested any members of the choir who were present to come up and occupy thelr regular places bebind the pulpit to assist in the singing. Mr. Miller gave out a hymn, and as there was but a feeble response, he stopped, the music. 4 . “Don't you know it is your duty to sing?” he inquired. “It will also be helpful to you. I know a man near Denver, a pastor of a large church, who now welghs 300 pounds. A lew years ago he weighed less than a hundred, and he was told by several physicians that he had the consumption and would surely die. But he was full of religion and he started in to praising God by singing with all his might. He soon began to grow stronger, eventually recovered his health entirely and now, as I said before, weighs oe eet not gone to praising od he would at t time probabl; der the sod.”” . are onde The singing was then resumed—a few more In the audience taking part, but it was still so weak that Mr. Miller made a second appeal. “That fs not the way you do when your neighbor’s chickens get in your yard and you want to ‘shoo’ them out. Raise your voices to a pitch like that.” Even this failed to arouse the enthusiasm oe oe ee to a very perceptible ox- 2 en Mr. Pot Silors sia ter came to Mr. “Brother Miller,” said he, “I know a hymn they will all sing, it seems to fit in here,” and he announced No. 8. “When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more.” The air of the hymn was familiar, and the audience joined in the singing with heartiness. At its conclusion, Mr. Potter read a few verses from the Wible, and then asked Mr. Miller to sing “Wonderful Sa- vior,"” which he did. Personal Experienges Called For. “Let us have two or three minutes of Personal experiences,” remarked Mr. Pot- ter. Continuing, he said: “Christ is one of two things—the greatest impostor who ever lived on earth, or He is God. I thank God I am able to say He saved me, and He is God. How many of you have had a good heaiecaen al All who have hold up your and.” Nearly all those present did so. “Now for the testimonies,” said Mr. Potter. Mr. Miller was the first to respond. “I am glad,” said he, “that I am able to ap- Preciate what the Lord has done for me. Many persons followed Mr. Miller in rapid succession, and then Mr. Potter said: “Thirty or forty of you speak at once if you want to. Brief experiences like you are giving are worth more than the speches of fifteen minutes long such us usd to be made in prayer meetings a few years ago. How many of you know Jesus he asked. “All who do hold up your hand. Get at it quick. I have been on a train where the conductor called out fifteen min- utes for dinner, and oh, how the passen- gers did eat. That is the way the Lords people ought to be about:giving testimony.” At Mr. Potter's request Mr. Miller sang a solo, entitled ‘Jesus’ Blood has Made Me Free.” When he‘had concluded, Mr. Potter delivered his sermon. Converted to Christianity. At the conclusion, the invitation to those desiring conversion to come forward was given, and a goodly number responded. Af- ter some praying and singing, four persons announced they had been converted. Mr. Potter asked to be informed how many there were at the altar, who had not received the blessing, and was told. “You want to be Christians, do you not?” he asked, addressing those on their knees. There was an affirmative response on the of each. Now,” he continued, “repeat after me tris pledge.” Then he repeated a long prayer, which those who had bowed at the altar repeated after him, and when be had ecncluded he told those he had addressed in effect that they were Christians. Mr. Potter's next appeal was to the Chris- tians in the audience to come forward and speak a word of encouragement to the new converts, but it was by this time nearly 10 o'clock, and the greater part of those pres- ent passed out of the church. The last meeting for the present week will be held tonight. ee R. VISITATIONS. G. A. An- The Department Commander nounces the Dates. Assistant Adjutant General Charles .F.

Between 12 and 1 o'clock on the morn- Ing of the 14th of last month John Calla- han met Edward Downing, colored, in South Washington. As a result of that meeting Edward was sentenced by Judge Cox yesterday afternoon to five years in the Albany penitentiary. Downing asked Callahan for something to eat, and when Callahan took him into an oyster house and ordered something for nim, Downing repaid Callahan's good- ness by snatching $26 out of his pocket and running off. Callahan pursued and caught him, but the man had thrown away the money, and it was never recovered by Callahan. Downing claimed that it was a case of mistaken identity, but the jury convicted him after a few minutes’ delib- eration. ——.——__. Woman Suffragists Elect Officers.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have read with much interest and some degree of surprise the opposition shown to the introduction of the whipping post in the District, and especially at the weakness of the arguments on the negative side of the question, such, for instance, as “‘a relic of barbarism,” “degrading a human being to the level of the beast,” “the whipping post is the last extreme of inhuman and brutal punishment,” and much more of the same kind of weak, nauseating sentiment- alism. 2 ‘Will some of the sympathizing friends of the “wife-beater” explain what is the status of a bruised and scarred wife (and perhaps a mother) when the husband has exhausted his brutal strength on her lacerated body? Dces she stand in the line of the “human” or the “brute?” If the former, why not protect her; if the latter, then, at least, be merciful. In the discussion between two distin- guished ministers of the M. E. Church (on the subject of the whipping post) reported in The Star of the 8th, it is very evident that the “Metropolitan” man presented the strongest argument on the affirmative side of the question, as was to be expected, having mercy for the weak and helpless as its base. A wife-beater (a brute in human form) is the very meanest and most cowardly of his kind, his animal instincts as a rule pre- vent his attacking a man, for it tells him he may get a sound thrashing, but he stag- gers to his home and attacks his helpless wife, and yet we are asked not to erect a “whipping post” for such charming speci- mens cf mankind, because, forsooth, it will brutalize him and degrade human nature! Away with such arguments, they are too weak and flimsy for serious consideration. To attempt moral suasion with a drunken wife-beater is a loss of time and talent; nothing will appeal to his senses and cure his brutal habit but the lash. “‘Similia sim- iibus curantur” will apply in his-case, and a certain cure may’ be expected after the first, or certainly after the second applica- tlon—try it. Half a century ago it was not an unusual thing for a convict to be pardoned from a penitentiary with the understanding that he must at once “ship in the service.” It was an outrage upon the good men of the navy that they should be compelled to mess and associate with thieves and highway- men, to say nothing of the annoyance and trouble to the officers in maintaining dis- cipline—to do which it became necessary to occasionally administer the “‘cats.’’ Then, as now, (in behalf of the abused wife-beater), there were a number of well- meaning sentimentalists, whose “lachry- mcse duct was in a perpetual flow for the poor sailor man!"’ who, by the by, was (as now) better fed, better clothed and cared for than two-thirds of the laboring people on shore. The “cats” had a wonderful ef- fect upon such men as agree (in character) with the wife-beater of today, and I have no doubt that many a man was grateful in after life for the discipline he received while in the navy. In London a tew years ago “garroting” was very common, as means to: robbing; prisons had no terror for the highwayman any more than it has for the wife-beater of today. Ai last they resorted to the lash with the most satisfactory and astonishing results. The whipping post should enlist in its favor the temperance people as an auxiliary to thelr efforts. I venture to say that one or two applications of the lash will sober up a man who is inclined to heat his wife when drunk. In Delaware the whipping post is a re- spectable and respected institution, and the citizens of the state are not barbarians, elther; on the contrary, are characterized by high moral sentiments and Christian enthusiasm. If the whipping post in Maryland still ex- ists under the law, and is not used, then the officials fail in their duty to avail them- selves of the best possible remedy for wife beating. W. H. SHOCK, U. 8. N. — ee CULP WAS COMMITTED. A Naval Coroner's Jury Find Him Responsible for Jerry Dougherty’s Death. Coroner Hammett held an inqust at 4 o'eleck yesteraay afternoon in the ‘“merry- g0-round” homicide case, and the witnesses who told the jury of how John A. Gulp had kicked the boy Jeremiah Dougherty, re- peated the account of the affair that wae rrinted in yesterday's Star. The only new feature of the case was the result of the autopsy made by Deputy Coroner Glaze- brook. This showed that the kicks must have been given with considerable force, for the little boy’s abdomen, lungs and Kidneys were in a frightful condition, and e'ther injury would have resulted fatally. Dr. Glazebrook told of'the emaciated con- dition of the boy's body, and was certain that his sufferings were intense. Three boys. one of them a brother of the de eased, related the story of the affair at the gate of the “merry-go-round.” Harry Roach, a fourth boy who had also witnessed the affair, but did not know Dougherty, denied that Culp kicked at him, and that Dougherty received the blows intended for him. Mr. Culp, he said, want- ed lim to say so. Lawyer Shillington was present to look after the interests of the prisoner, and he advised Culp not to make a statement. The jury returned a verdict as follows: “We, the jury, believe, from the evidence, that Jeremiah’ Dougherty came to his death October 10, from an injury inflicted by a kick or kicks from John A. Culp, on the night of September 12, 1695, and we fur- ther believe, fom the evidence, that said Jchn A. Cuip is responsible for the death of said Jeremiah Dougherty, but without nalice or intention to do serious bodily harm.” This verdict, it is thought, will at least have the effect of reducing the alleged offense to manslaughter. As the verdict held the defendant responsible for the killing, he was committed to jail. ee ELECTRIC LIGHT AT ST.ELIZABETH. There Will Be Two Plants Supplying Two Thousand Lamps. The project for the introduction of a sys- tem of electric lights at the government hospital for the insane includes the estab- lishment of two plants. The larger of these will be @ 200-horge power compound Arm- ington & Sims engine, a pair of General Electric multi-polar dynamos, !n series, for the three-wire system. The smaller plant will be a 100-horse power Armington & Sims compound engine and a pair of Gen- eral Electric multi-polar dynamos, in series. The plants will be belted by the Miller rope transmission, similar to that in the State, War and Navy Department buildings. The Davidson independent air pumps and con- densers will be used.

Fines Impoxed on Alley, Fighters—Al- leged Mental Weakmess No Excuse for Disorderly. Conduct. Twenty-seven guests-were before the Police Court today, and there was only one female in the party. Most of those who appeared in Judge Kimball’s procession were young colored men, and many of them had not been in similar trouble be- fore. Those who are known as the “old- timers” are getting scarce, a number of them having found their way to potter's fleid during the recent months. Policeman Frank Hughes had two colored fighters from Willow Tree alley in court. Their names were given as William Robin- son and Charles Edwards, and to 2 charge of disorderly conduct they plead guilty. “The court fines you $5,” said the clerk. “I would like to say a word for Edwards,”” the officer said. “He's a pretty good fel- low, but last night he got into a fight in the alley, and the other man was more disorderly than Edwards.” “And, judge, your honor,” added Ed- “I couldn't help the fight. A man gave mea drink from a bottle, and Robin- son wanted to know why he had given that nigger’ a drink. Then we got !nto the fight.” “And you will have to pay the fine,” the judge added. Caroline Bell, colored, the only woman in the procession, was charged with having disturbed the quiet of Chew's alley. The affair was nothing but the usual alley quar- rel, and Caroline was discharged. Knew Right From Wrong. Richard Bell, a colored boy whose mind is supposed to be affected, and who Is known as “Shack” Bell, was next in line, the charge against him being disorderly. “He's crazy,” remarked Lawyer Moss, “and I'll defend him as a matter of char- ity.” Policemen Herbert, who had made the arrest, was ready to tell of the circum- stances as he understood them, but as he was not near the Long bridge when the affair happened he had to call witnesses. It appeared that yesterday he was over in Virginia, and when he returned in a wagon with a female relative they had a dispute about the ownership of the vehicle, and it was charged that he threw the w man out of the wagon. A charge of as- sault was filed, and a fine of $20 imposed. Clerk Harper had a paper charging Kate McCaffrey, a resident of Northeast Washington, with disordely conduct. Kate had not been locked up, and a phy- sician’s certificate stating that because of illness she was unable to appear was filed. This, however, was not the only certifi- cate, for Mrs. Burnett, a witness, was also sick, and she, too, had sent one. The case went: over. Too Trifling for the Court. Mrs. Caroline Shaffer, a respactebly dress- ed colored woman, who lives near the Bal- timore and Ohio depot, appeared in court after notice had been served upon her, and answered a charge of déstroying private property. “This charge,” sald Lawyer Martin, “was brought by an old colored woman named Annie Wisop. She is an irritable old wo- man, and swore out the warrant just to give Mrs. Shaffer trouble. She said she had never been in court before, and she wanted to see how it was run.” The old woman did appear and stated a case of the most trivial nature. “I-rents a room from her,” she said,.“‘and she came in my kitchen, threw some water and tore my curtain.” “What kind of a curtain2” ‘Twas cretonne, and I paid 12 1-2 cents a yard for it.” “This trifling matter," the. judge said, “should never have been brought into court. Case dismissed.” VESTED. CHOIR LEAGUE. A Distinctly Unique .@rganization for Musical Education. The Vested Choir League this season re- Jolces in a largely increased membership, embracing nearly all the vested choirs of the District. The object of the league Is to promote the general welfare and pro- gress socially and musically of those in- terested in choir service. As the constitu- tion of the league says, the aim is “to unite the members of vested choirs frater- nally for mutual improvement and benefit, to ald the clergy choirmasters and choris- ters in their work, and to elevate the taste of the people in church music.” The officers are as follows: President, Rev. Clarence W. Bispham, rector of St. Michael's; vice pre: idents—Rey. Alfred Harding, rector of St. Paul's; Mr. F. S. Barbarin, of St. John’s, West Washington; secretary, s MacLeod, choirmaster of St. Paul's; treas- urer, Mr. T. O. Ebaugh of Trinity Chureh; conductor, Mr. W. H. Daniel, choirmaster St. John's. The league will hold several festivals duing the year, the first of which will take place during the latter part of November, when Mendelssohn's oratorio, “The Hymn of Praise,” will be rendered, with a large chorus, soloists, organ and orchestra. All Persons Interested in church music are in- vited to become honorary members. eee FORFEITED HIS BOND. Banjoist Al Reeves Fails to Answer for Trial. The case of Henry Reeves, the theatrical manager, banjoist, and all-round humorist, who is known in the profession as “Al.” Reeves, was to have been tried in the Po- lice Court today, but when the case was called he did not answer. As printed in The Star at the time of Reeves’ arrest, he was taken in custody on a charge of attempted robbery, Mrs. Wiul- fred Canty making the complaint. It was claimed on part of Reeves’ friends that the case was one of mistaken identi- ty, and a jury trial was demanded. Mr. L. A. Roginski went on his bond. When thé case was called this morning ard the defendant failed to answer, Mr. Mullowny asked that the bond be forfeited. Mr. Carrington, for the defendant, asked that this action be not taken. for he suid Mr. Reeves is not endeavoring to run away or evade the prosecution. He sald he was engaged with his show, but he (counsel) had been unable to locate him to have him in court. Judge Miller held that the showing made was not satisfactory, and ordered the for- feiture of the bond. SS Death of Mr. J. A. Kinsley. Mr. J. A. Kinsley, a $1,200 clerk in the bureau of supplies and accounts, Navy De- partment, died yesterday morning from an attack of’dropsy. He had been in the serv- ice about twenty years, and was highly esteemed. For your Shoes, why pay from $10 to $16, when the Crawford, at $800, $5.00 or even $4.00 are just as good in every respect.

Last week witnessed the opening of all the schools, the National and Howard on Tues- day night; Georgetown, Wednesday, and Columbian, Thursday. The opening nights were marked by large attendances and considerable enthusiasm, giving indications of a successful year’s work. About 800 young men have enrolled them- selves as junior students in the schoois above named within the last few weeks. This means at the end of three years 300 young lawyers, less the number who have fallen by the wayside, will be cast upon the werld. Whether they will prove valuable additions to the legal fraternity will de- pend largely on the men themselves, but will also depend in great measure upon the nature of the instruction they receive in the years of student life. It was formerly thought that the only proper way for a young nan to study law was to read in the office of some established practitioner. But it is now generally conceded that in the majority of cases it is more advantageous to take the law school course. It is sig- nificant that the committee on legal educa- tion of the Americun Bar Association said in their report of two or three years since: “The law schools certainly present the best side of legal education in this country.” There are sixty odd laws schools in the country today, with about 475 instructors and over 7,000 students. Of this number of schools ten offer a one-year course, over forty a two years’ course, and about ten a three years’ course, such as is provided by our local schools. In each of our local schools the members of the faculty are kept busy providing in- cressed facilities for the increasing number of students, making changes in the course of study, and in other ways improving the condition of the school. Several important changes have been made at Columbian this year, perhaps the ncst important being the inauguration of a special course in patent law. Major Ben- jamin Butterworth, formerly commissioner of patents, will deliver a series of lectures on the patent statutes and the general principles of patent law as administered in the courts and the United States patent office. He will be assisted by Mr. Melville Church of the Washington bar, who will give practical instruction in pleading and practice in patent cases, and will conduct the exercises of the moot court, which will be especially organized for the trial of pat- ent cases and patent office interferences. This course extends over a period of eight months, and will lead to the degree of bachelor of patent laws. Judge Harlan will, this year, deliver his lectures three times a week, instead of once a week, as formerly, and Judge Bradley will extend his course on criminal law to include criminal practice and procedure, the students using as a text book Clark’s Crim- inal Law. It is also announced that the junior class will be required to attend five nights in each week, instead of three, formerly, thus attending eight hours each Week. The jenior clas; will be examined at the end of the year upon the whole of the year’s work, which has not been done in former years. The National opens this year with bright Prospects. The attendance is not larger than in ‘ormer years, as each class is limit- ed to forty members. This limitation is made necessary by the fact that the system of teaching pursued in this institution is what is known as the “quiz” or recitative system. The instruction, however, is not. e1.tirely confined to the quiz, but is supple- mented by lectures on special topics. A Prominent addition to the corps of instruc- ters is Judge Thomas H. Alvey, chief jus- tice of the Court of Appeals of the District, who will deliver a course of lectures on constitutional law. Another noteworthy addition Is that of Judge Charles C. Cole of the Supreme Court of the District, who will lecture on statutory law. Judge Cole’s lec- tures, as likewise all the other exercises in this school, will be open to the members of all the classes of the school. Georgetown begins the year with the largest attendance in the history of the school. The faculty will remain as last year, and no changes of any great import- ance have been made in the course of study. Mr. Charies A. Douglas, lectarer on the law of torts, will be assigned the sub- ject of negotiable paper, which has until this year been in-the hands of Prof. Dar- lington. It had been expected that Judge Shepard would select a new text book on equity- jurisprudnce, for the use of the senior class, but he has decided to continue to use Adams’ work on that subject. In the Howard University school Judge Harlan will deliver lectures on constitution- al law. No other changes have been made. aoe SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF MOSES.

PUGH A Large Attendance at the Service at Foundry Church, Last Rites Performed Over the Re- mains of the Lamented Dead—The Burial in Stroudsburg. Funeral services over the remains of the late James E. Pugh, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A.. were held this morning in Foundry M. E. Church, of which the de- ceased was a member. Before the arrival of the funeral party at the church, which was about a quarter after 9, the usvers, under the direction of W. B. Matthews, were engaged in seating the audience, which filled the main body of the church and also'a portion of the gallery. The pews on exch side of the pulpit were occu- pied by the ministers of the city, a number of whom were present. In the main body of the church seats were reserved for the officers, directors and the members of the ¥. M. C. A. and of Osiris Lodge of Masons. The body was carried into the church, preceded hy the clergy and the honorary and active pallbearers, and was followed by the immediate members of the family. The honorary pallbearers were S.W.Wood- ward, Geo. Truesdell, A. S. Taylor, T. A. Harding, E. W. Woodruff and J. C. Pratt, The active pallbearers were J. S. Barker, W. S. MacArthur, Charles H. Chase, J. W. Crawford, FH. A. Beekman and Charles F. Nesbit. Dr. Brown, the pastor of the church, officiated, and prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Newman, the pastor of the First Congregational Church. In the course of a few appropriate remarks Dr. Brown sald that Foundry Church, in its pastor and People, was one of the chief mourners on this occasion. He sald that the story cf the work of Mr. Pugh, his sacrifices and his splendid achievements was one of ab- sorbing interest. “Lead, Kindly Ligit,” was rende-ed by the Apollo Quartet, and then Rev.Dr.Geo.Elliot,the former pastor of Foundry Church, who had come on from Philadelphia to attend the funeral, spoke and paid a loving tribute to the fe and character of the deceased. He sald that he believed that while Mr. Pugh was dead, he would continue to speak through the work which he had accom- plished in this city. He said that the one aim and purpose of Mr. Pugh’s life was centered in the work for young men. Upon the conclusion of the address “Rock of Ages” was sung as a solo by Mr. T. Wil- liams Pearman, Mr. Toof playing the ac- companiment on the organ. The benedic- tion was pronounced by Rev. Dr. Wil- son, and the remains were then‘ taken to the depot, where they were to be conveyed to Stroudsburg, Pa., for interment. The cesket was covered with beautiful floral tributes presented by the board of direc- tors of the ‘association, the members end personal friends. Mr. A. S. Taylor, as the representative of the hoard of managers of the association, and W. S. MacArthur, as the representa- tive of the young men, accompanied the re- mains to the place of interment. At a meeting of the officers of Foundry Epworth League yesterday appropriate resolutions were adopted in regard to the death of Mr. Pugh. The monthly sociul which the league intended to hold this evening will be postponed. ———__ “Pennsylvania Railroad” mere and Return. Saturday and Sunday, October 12th and 18th, returning Monday, 14th.
