Encouraging Letters Received by the Committee of ’96. Encouraging letters are being received by Chairman W. H. H. Smith of the Chris- tian Endeavor committee of 96 from state unions throughout the country, promising large delegations to Waskington next July. At a meeting of the committee last night letters were read from the unions in New Jersey, Ohlo, Rhode island and other states. The following members were nominated and appointed additional members of the finance committee: H. K. Simpson of the Warner Memorial Presbyterian Church, Kensington; J. A. MacElwee of the Fourth Presbyterign Church, C. O. Bohrer of the Garden Memorial Presbyterian Church, BE. Hilton Jackson of the First Baptist Church, E. M. Hall of Ryland M. E. Church, Charles 8S. Muir of the E Street Baptist Church, Vernon B. Hodges of the Gunton Temple Memorial Church, John C. Lewis of the West Street Presbyterian Church, John Mitchell, jr., of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, A. D. Spangler of the Luther Place Memorial Church and Jesse P. Crawford of Union M. EB. Church. George E. Barber of Ry- land M. E. Cavrch was appointed a mem- ber of the hall committee. Extension of the work of canvassing among Endeavorers for additional subscrip- tions to the convention fund is the aim of the firance committee, and a circular has been drafted to be issued to those who have not yet subscribed. It is the desire of the finance committee to raise $10,000 from the Endeavorers themselves before asking for outside contributions. His Will Filed. The will of the late James Coon, an old soldier, dated October 17, 1895, filed yester- day, makes John Green, wardmaster of ward D, Barnes’ Hospital. Soldiers’ Home, sole legatee. Personal effects and pension money are said to form the sole estate of the deceased.

References to Complete and Per- manent Cures in Thousands of Casen Where Physicians Have Failed —Get a Free Copy of Munyen’s Guide to Health, Ask Your Druggist for a 25 Cent Bottle of Munyon’s Remedies and Cure Yourself. Mr. H. C. Smith, No. 649 Perry street, Newark, N. J., says: “‘After several physicians gave up my case as beyond their skill I wrote to Prof. Munyon. I bad dyspepsia and constant distress in the stomach, chronic diarrhoea, catarrh, with con- tinual dropping of mucus in the throat and stop- page of the nose. I suffered so much from rheu- matism in the shoulder that I could scarcely move my arm. I also had kidney trouble, with backache and swelling of the feet and ankles. In fact, it would be bard to find a more obstinate and com- plicated case, and I could scarcely believe Prof. Munyon’s statement that his remedies would cure me. But I confess freely that I was completely cured by a short course of Munyou's Remedies. I wish to particularly recommend his new catarrh treatment as the mildest and yet the most promptly curative of any I have used.” The Munyon Remedies effect prompt and positive cures in the most obstinate cases. A separate cure for each disease. At all druggists, 25 cents each. Personal letters to Prof. Munyon, stieet, Philadelphia, Pa., answered medical advice for any disease. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN 1505 Areh with free Improving the Free Delivery Service in Outlying Districts. Many Other Local Notes of General md Especial Interest to All Classes. Superintendent Hutchins of the George- town post office station is constantly mak- ing reforms and improvements in the West End carrier service. Largely through his efforts Tenleytown was provided with car- r-ers, and additional men were put on to relieve the strain of the old men and facili- tate the delivery. He is now asking the authorities at head- quarters for another man to work in the district lying up about the proposed Meth- odist University. When this section is looked to the entire district west of Rock creek, extending westward to a point be- yond the Chvir bridge and northward to the Maryland line, will have been provided with reguler carriers. The present “Chain bridge man” has over six ard a half miles of road to travel, and is a heavily burdened man. The line of his route is building up so rapidJy that an assistant will have to be put on there very shertly. Up to within a few months ago the de- livery service extended only to Woodley lane on the Bee and the Foxall road on the west. Revival Services. Rev. S. J. Smith will conduct this even- ing’s revival at the Mt. Tabor Church. It was expected by Pastor Lewis that he would be able to announce the other speak- ers of the week last night, but it was found later that it could not be definitely done until this evening. Last night Mr. Lewis selected as the topic for his discourse, “Looking First to the Kingdom of Heaven.’ Notes. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Percival of Philadel- phia, Pa., accompanied by Mrs. Harry A. Howes and Miss Carrie Mendler, left to- day for Atlanta, Ga., Luray Cave and other prominent places of interest. The protracted services announced by Rev. Dr. Alexander last Sabbath will be- gin this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the West Street Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Geo. N. Luccock, D.D., of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church will de- liver the sermon. John J. Callahan, while temporarily in- sane, went to the house of Franz Zeseke, his father’s tenant, at 1820 33d street, and ordered him to vacate the premises at once. On receiving a refusal it is alleged Callahan attacked both Mr. and Mrs. Zeseke, throwing the former down the steps in the encounter. A warrant was sworn out for Mr. Callahan. The defend- ant in the case is subject to attacks of fits and insanity. A man giving his age as ninety-two and his name as Henry Hughes went beyond the temperate line of drink last night and was officially called down. ae BALLOT IN SOUTH CAROLINA. A Great Fight Expected in the Con- vention Today. The suffrage question came up in the South Carolina constitutional convention last night. The two remaining negro dele- gates, Messrs. Anderson and Redd, ad- dressed the convention and were given a courteous hearing. Their arguments were aimed at the injustice of disfranchising the negro and especially in view of the fact that he had done so much for the state and the white people. The vote was then taken on the substi- tute offered by Delegate Whipper to Sena- tor Tillman's suffrage plan. The negroes asked for an aye and nay vote and in defer- ence to their wishes the white men sec- onded the demand. ‘he substitute was voted down by 131 to 6, the latter being the negro delegates. Sections 1 and 2 of the Tillman plan were then taken up and adopted. They are in reference to what elections shall be held. Section 3 provides that male citizens shall be eligible to vote. Delegate Clayton of Florence introduced a woman suffrage amendment. The convention debated the matter until 11 o'clock, but did not come to a vote, though it was manifest that an overwhelm- ing majority are opposed to it. They, how- ever, were willing to give the advocates of the idea full swing, and, as some of them wanted to make speeches, the debate was adjourned until today at their request. Section 4 is the one presenting the quall- fications of voters, and a big fight is brew- ing on it. Senator Irby will move to com- mit that section to the judiciary commit- tee to get its interpretation whether its provisions are in harmony or conflict with the United States Constitution. Senator Tillman will oppose it, and the vote will indicate probably whether Irby or Tillman {s on top in the fight they are waging between them. Course of Bible Lectures. A course of Bible lectures has been ar- ranged by the American Society of Relig- icus Education, as follows: December 17, Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, D. D., “The Bible, the Word of God;” January 28, Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., “The Bible and Intellectual Culture;’ February 18, Rev. Hugh John- ston, D. D., “The Bible and Character Building;” March 17, Rev. F. D. Power, D. D., “The Bible the Standard of Appeal in Religious Thought;” Rev. B. L. Whitman, D. D., “The Bible and Civilization.” Prominent statesmen and ministers will be invited to introduce the lecturers, and the places of holding the lectures will be announced later. The lectures will be free, but at each a collection for the benefit of the society will be taken. Funeral of G. B. Harleston. The funeral of George B. Harleston, who died at his home, 807 llth street, Sunday last, was held this morning from St. Pat- rick’s Church. Many beautiful floral trib- utes were seit by the friends of the de- ceased. Mr. Harleston was about thirty years of age, and for a long time had been employed in the government printing office bindery, where he made many friends. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias end of Spartan Council, Sons of Jonadab. FOOD FOR THE TIRED BRAIN. Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

Deputies og, the Railway Soandgla The Government Defeated and the Ministers RetiresAmbassador Patenotre’s Ppigion.. The French cabiret hag regigned, as a re- sult of a government defeat in the chamber of deputies during the,debate on Southern railway scandal, and Rresident Faure has accepted the resignations. :; In the chamber of deputies M. Rouanet, who has been prominent in exposing those who were connected with the Panama ca- nal and Southern railroad syndicates, ques- tioned the government regarding the South of France railway scandal, it being alleged that a number of senators, deputies and others have made large profits out of the company by fair or unfair means. He de- clared that the good repute of parliament was involved, and asked for explanations as to the partiality which had been shown towal those involved in the scandals, claiming that the authorities had been afraid to prosecute them because the depu- ties ard senators involved with the late Baron Reinach of Panama canal fame had disposed of 850,000 francs in devious ways, and on behalf of the Southern railway he demanded that the minister of justice, M. Trarieux, publish the documents in the case, which were in his possession, and which would throw light on the subject. M. Binder, a member of the right, then charged the minister of justice with culpa- ble leniency and demanded that the guilty parties be punished. M. Trarieux replied, saying that when- ever the government believed it had in- criminating evidence it had prosecuted the parties involved. No deputy, he added,was included among the guilty parties. Names Given. Amid continual radical interruption M. Trarieux managed to say, in addition, that several names were known to the govern- ment as having figured in reports of the expert, M. Flory, the official accountant, who made an inquiry into the finances of the South of France railroad. He was interrupted by excited cries of “Names,” “Names,” ‘‘Names. In reply, M. Trarieux said Jules Roche, Etienne, Deloncle, and others.” When he was able to make himself heard the minister of justice added that the ma- jority of those whose names had been men- tioned had explained their position, and he concluded with the remark: “The chamber knows the truth, and if parliament con- siders its dignity and honor compromised the government will join the chamber in voting for repressive measures, and in the face of these explanations asks the cham- ber for a vote of confidence.” The order of the day, pure and simple, was then submitted to the chamber and re- jected by a vote of 406 to 105. M. Hanerts then moved that the cham- ber agree to prohibit members of parlia- ment from joining in financial syndicates. The motion was accepted by the premier, M. Ribot, and was adopted unanimously. Later M. Rouanet submitted a motion de- manding that full light be thrown upon the South of France railway scandals, asking the government to prosecute all those who have been found to be implicated in them, and submit to the chamber the report of the expert who inquired into the finances of the company. M. Ribot thereupon said it was useless to submit the expert’s report, and as to the prosecutions, he added, the. work of justice had .been accomplished end could not be reopened. Rouanet’s Motion Carried. “Rouvier, Bardoux M. Rouanet’s motion, asking for an ex- planation. as to the partiality which had been shown toward those involved in the scandals, claiming that the authorities had been afraid to prosecute them, and demand- ing that the minister of justice publish the documents in the cas¢, which were in his possession, was then adopted by a vote of 285 to 196. After the adoption’ of this motion the ministers left the chamber of deputies in 2 body, amid ironi¢al radical cheers, and went to the Elysee Palace, where they handed in their resignations to President Faure. The chamber of deputies was adjourned for a week. The Syndicate. The defeat of the government ts not sur- prising in view of the sweeping charges made against senators, deputies and even minis- ters, involved first of all in the Panama canad syndicate and more recently in the South of France railway management scandals, which became public as the result of an investis: tion made by M. Flory, the official account- ant of that company, brought about by ac- cusations against various prominent men, made in the chamber of deputies by M. Rou- anet, which culminated recently im the ar- rest, trial and imprisonment of M. Edmond Magnier, formerly senator of the Var and editor-in-chief of the Evenement, who is said to have received the sum of S7,300 francs as part of the profits of the syndicate referred to. The Figaro said that the following named members of the chamber of deputies, who were members of the South of France rail- way syndicate, made the profits set against thelr names: Jules Roche, 28,000 francs; M. Rouvier, 6,750 frane: tenne, 3,000 a M. Deloncle, 5,000 francs; M. Pa: WM) frances; M. Le Mercier, The Figaro added that these jeputies were not prosecuted because the official account- ant, M. Flory, was of the opinion that the formation of ‘the syndjcate was perfecily regular and, therefore, ifs members were not guilty of corruption. Ambassador Patenotre’s Opinion. Ambassador Patenotre of Frante was shown the announcement from Paris that the French cabinet had resigned, and natur- ally was much surprised, as there had been no intimation of a crisis. The cabinet as- sumed office ten months ago and has served continuously since President Faure was elected. The ambassador says the resigna- tions are not of serious importance, as changes of the cabinet have not the same significance under the French system that they have in other countries. Moreover, the railway question, which appears to Fave been the cause for the present rupture, is regarded by the ambassador as of minor consequence. It does not involve national considerations. M. Patenotre is hopeful that any changes effected will not result in the retirement of M. Hanatoux, the minister of foreign affairs, whose administration has been marked by signal ability. The embassy officials say that the resigna- tions do not necessarily imply the retirement of the cabinet, as such resignations, pro forma, are occasionally made to emphasize the attitude of the cabinet on pending meas- ures. The French Ratiway Scandals. It will be recalled tfiat the fall of the Du- puy cabinet on January ,J4 last, which re- sulted in the resignation of President Casi- mir-Perier, grew ouv’ of'@ debate on the government railways{ The government held that its gnarartee of interest to the railways expired in 1914,"#ut the council of state to which the disputé’was appealed de- cided that the guarantee was perpetual. The chamber of deputfes.censured the min- istry for having abet the question to the courcil of stat the cabinet re- signed, the president’ f fonlowing suit the rext day. In a cable letter of that date from Paris to the Associated Press Mrs. Emily Craw- ford, writing to the gdvernment conven- tions with these railrdads, said: “These conventions, involving the most gigantic scandals of all time, were signed by M. Raynal, as minister of public works in the Ferry cabinet in 1883, of which cab- inet M, Casimir-Perier was an under secre- tary of state. A syndicate of railway com- panies in that year spent 20,000,000 francs in buying journals and deputies. The con- ventions were so drawn as to, in many cases, allow interest of 25 per-cent on the capital subscribed. They allowed guaran- tees of interest on all the capital in shares and bonds, but were silent as to the date when the interest guarantees were to cease.
