It was once thorght that x fountain existed some- where fr, the world, and that all who drank of it would be eidowed with perpetual youth. For long ages men sought for this wonderful fountain, but ft was not until cur own times that anything ‘ke s ever discovered. ‘This discovery was made y a brilliant French physician, who pointed out that nearly all the people who attained remarkable old age owed their health and strength to the con- stant use of some pure stinmiunt. This, he said, was the true fountain of youth. Today physicians recognize that in all cases where people have tred. feelings, or are run down fn health, something is needed to stimulate their flagging energies. They also recognize that for this purpose nothing has ever equaled Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which today stands unequaled as a pure, reliable, bealth-giving stimulant.

EVERYBODY PRESENT LAST NIGHT Speeches by Prominent Men at the Opening. —_— SOME OF THE FEATURES ——— Such a spectacle has seldom been wit- nessed in Washington. The teachers’ fair and bazaar, opened in Convention Hall last evening, was worthy of the thoughtful la- bor and painstaking care of hundreds of teachers and thousands of pupils of the public schools, who for months have striven to give the people of the District of Columbia a mammoth entertainment. With the blaze of a thousand electric lights falling on scores of booths of exquis- ite beauty, presided over by pretty girls, the fair was opened; and the people were early in coming to enjoy the beauties of the occasion. Shortly after 6 o'clock the gath- ering of the great concourse of friends of the schools began, and from that time throughout the evening the broad stairway leading to the hall was crowded by the visitors Coming and going. It was, indeed, a scene of beauty that greeted the eyes of the vast throng. From the entrance of the hall the booths of the fair lay ranged along the walls and center aisles, two great pillars of snow-white ma- terial being placed as if to form the en- trance to the area occupied by the booths. The entire scene was a study in color, every shade of the rainbow being employed in the draping of the many little temples of beauty and industry, where the busy swarm of teachers and pupils were en- gaged in dispensing the variety of mer- chandise that had been donated for the oc- casion. Handsome Decorations. ‘There was a ger.eral harmony of form and color in the decorations of the booths, their charm being added to by a background of Gcep biue sky, dotted over with brilliant stars, tnat formed the proscenium of a stage, the semi-circular opening of the lat- ter fringed to represent a rising sun in all its resnlendent blaze and beauty. The sun and the stars contending for supremacy was an unusual picture, but it well repre- sented the vigilance of those ‘who made the for they have end. ion so great a succe! latored night and day to attain th! ‘There was a dash of the Midway P! amid the other features of the bazaar. oriental booth dispensed appropriate arti- cles, while on its roof the Marine Band d coursed popular airs throughout the egen- ing.

Within the booths were the riehest and most pleasing handi- work of deft fingers, embroideries and all ferms of faney work, choice candies win the virtue of being “home made—in every form of merchandise that eons pleas> the fastidious taste of the throng that came to see and to buy of the wares of the tair. Along with booths containing these arti- & were evidences of two of the growing tures for giving practical training in the schoo the manual training and the cooking school. Boys in working aprons sat contentedly on carpenters’ benches sur- rounded by tocls of the trade, while around them were the results of the labors of ju- venile mechanics—carpenters and workers in iron. At the other end of the hall was stationed the Cooking school, teacher and Little girl pupils in bibs and caps caring for the viands in course of preparation. Then there was an exhibit of the art work of the schools, showing that high success had also been attained in that branch of effort. This splendid array of the products of varie? talents occup‘ed the attention of the visitors 1 a late hour, throngs coming and going throughout the evening. Fitting tributes to the geod work that had been accomplished were paid to the workers by the distinguished men in official and busi- ness life who during the evening took part in the formal opening of the fair and ba- zaar that will place on a sound basis the annuity fund for the teachers, and will long be remembered with pride by those who have contributed to its success. Huge Crowd. Before 7 o'clock people began arriving at the hall in veritable streams. They came from the north, the south, the east and the west, while rot a few approached the hali from the northeast and the southwest— along New York avenue. They came in car- riages, ingtreet cars, on bicycles and afoot, and as 8 oclock drew near the scene outside was a reminder of the days when Moody and Sankey proved such a drawing magnet at the same place. In the throng were school girls and school boys, young men and ladies, mothers and fathers, grandfathers and even babies in arms, and when they had mounted the stairs the sight was a revelation to the majority of them, for, as Superintendent Powell remarked to a Star reporter, the bazaar is re ely to Washington what tne world’s fair was to Chicago. Its like shas certainly not been seen in this vicinity for many a day, and {it would be hard to count the visitors who entering the hall last even- ing stopped involuntarily in admiration at the mass ef color that confronted them. Picturesque Scenes. Long before the time announced for the opening exercises to begin the hall was comfortably filled. The fair attendants at the booths displayed great energy and de- termination in starting up a brisk and profitable trade within ten minutes,al An ‘orted a dumb The the doors had been thrown open, Cireu- lating promiscuously among the throng could be seen gaily attired peasant girls wearing dangerously tall hats, while real- istic Indian bucks and squaws moved to and fro, apparently not at all disturbed by close, very close, contact, with civili- zation. ‘The much-talked-of camel, Nellie of the rn High School, r for the fray, and under the half a dozen pseudo Arab stant trips about the crowiled A PREVALENT DISEASE.

Additional color was added to the already picturesque scene by the moving Sedan chairs, propelled by muscular youths wear- ing flowing oriental costumes. The Marine Band was seated on the roof of the oriental booth, located midway down the east side of the hall, and at 7:30 o'clock Prof. Fanciulli raised his baton and nearly every one stopped to listen to the “Goddess of Liberty March,” dedicated to the teach- ers’ association by Prof. Fanciulli and played last evening for the first time. The composition is bright arfd catchy and is sure to become popular. The Procession. As time passed the hall became more densely crowded, until it was equal to a foot ball game to attempt to make any progress. As many persons as could do so sought 2 vantage spot near the platform, but hundreds could not force their way within hearing distance. Finally, some time after 8 o'clock, a little procession which had formed in the art gallery at the north end moved down the hall. It was headed by the Marine Band, with several policemen moving in front to clear a passageway. In the rear of the band was a special es- cort of commissioned officers cf the High School Cadets in uniform, comprising Ma- jor Fox, Capts. von Bayer, Hoover, Hoge, Ferree, Berry and Daniels, First Lieuien- ants Wood, Kummell, Maxwell, Platt, Ray, Cassin, Smoot and Blanchard, and Second Licutenants Kelly, Macgown, Stone and Farrow. Next were Commissioner John W. Ross, Superintendent of Public Schools Wil- liam B. Powell, Postmaster General Wil- liam L. Wilson, ex-Gov. Alexander R. Shepherd, Mr. Brainard H. Warten Mr, J. Ormond Wilson, Mr. Crosby S. Noyes, Mr. J. W. Whelpley, Mr, Lewis Clephane, Mrs. L. R. Stowell, Mr. E. H. Droop, Mr. Gus- tave Lansburgh, Mr. Stanley Brown, Prof. Montague, Mr. ‘A. . Mr. Jesse H. Wilson, Mr. Al Tucker, Dr. FR. Len Mr. ¢. ML Sites, Mr. Clark, er, Mr. Free- man and Mr. Patterson. Proceedings Opened. The procession was arranged by Dr. Lane, chairman of the executive committee, and Mr. Warner acted as marshal. On arrival at the stage the escort formed In line and the others passed through the aisle thus formed and took seats on the platfgrm. Mr. Stuart, chairman of the executive com- mittee for the bazaar, then advanced to the tront and raised his hand for silence. It was necessary for him to repeat the move- ment severa! times before the vast throng could be quieted to a degree that made speaking at least possible. After the lapse of several moments, Mr. Stuart said: “Ladies and Gentlemen: As chairman of the executive committee that made prepa- rations for this bazaar, I desire to thank the citizens of the District of Columbia for their aid and co-operation in our efforts to bring about the bazaar. I have only two duties to perform here this evening. One is to thank you all and the other is to in- troduce the superintendent of public schools of the District of Columbia and tne presi- dent of the Teachers’ Aid and Annuity As- sociation, Mr, Willlam B. Powell. Superintendent Powell. Superintendent Powell stated that he wished to thank Mr. Stuart and his asso- ciates on the executive committee for the great work that had been done in making the magnificent showing before him. Super- intendent Powell also. thanked the citizens hington for their support. If the a charity, as some have called It, r, Powell, It is one of the most noble he had any knowledge. It is a eneration to declared the speaker, and is the result of hard work done by the present noble army of t hers. Mr. Powell then introduced Commissioner Ro: us “one whose interest chool: er in the public “E hes ¢ pend conversation for d to the big about to be address jeneral.

The Postmaster General was greeted with applause, and he responded ing that he considered it a high honor to be invited to open the bazaar. He went on to say that during four years of his congressional career he labored with the affairs of the public schools, and, therefore, knew something of their value. In referring to the association Mr. Wilson said that in the struggle for life the fit and strong succeed and the unfit and weak fall, and in considering the object of the organization, the biblical injunc “Love thy neighbor, emed especially propriate to him. It is the duty of the state to provide for those who, after a life devoted to the pub- lie service, have given but, declared Mr. Wilson, but the teachers have to appeai to the charity, love and brotherhood of the people. He then congratulated the people of the District on the outpouring before him, and praised the teachers, who, he are doing more to elevate the char- mold the destiny and insure the fu- ture success of the children than any one else. “I congratulate you again,” concluded Mr. Wilson, “for the success of your ba- zaar as already assured. I wish you God- speed In your work.” Gov. Shepherd. Commissioner Ross then called on ex-Gov. Shepherd, “the one who laid the foundation of Greater Washington.” Gov. Shepherd said, after the applause had somewhat sub- sided: “This is a pretty big house to talk to, and I don’t know that my voice can fill It, but I think that I can fill it with senti- ment. I came all the way from Tennessee to be present here tonight, and I guess I would be a pretty mean sort of fellow if I couldn’t say something when called on. “In 1860," he continued, “there were only 60,000 people in this city, and now there are nearly that number of children in the pub- lc schools. I can hardly believe it. Surely, the world moves. I aiso wish you God- speed. The police take care of your safety, and they have a pension fund; the fire de- partment looks after your property, and the firemen have a pension fund. The teachers care for your minds. I hope you will raise the fund, and I'm willing to help.” ; B, H. Warner. Mr. B. H. Warner was the next speaker. After finding Commissioner Truesdell in the audience and insisting on him mounting the piatform, Mr. Warner stated that those present had gathered to do honor to the public schools—the institution thal gives education to rich and poor alike. “I be- peak for this enterprise unbounded suc- cess,” said Mr. Warner, “It deserves It, and shall surely have it.’ he Bazaar Open. Commissione then declared the ba- zaar to be form open.

During the reception Mrs. Shepherd, the M Shep- herd, M Waite and Mrs. Evans received reception booth with Mrs. Stuart and rs. Fairbrother. The art department, under the direction of Mr. Parker Mann, was largely attended, and apparently greatly enjoyed, throughout the evening, a number of connoisseurs being noticed among those viewing the works. The entire balcony is devoted to the sale of refreshments. Mrs. R. Platt is in charge of this feature, and under her direction tables have been arranged so as to com- mand a sweeping view of the scene in the hall below. Ice cream, cake, sandwiches and the other customary items constitute the bill of fare, and they are served at unusually reasonable rates. Novel Features. A decidedly interesting exhibit is that of a collection of Indiar. relics, conducted by Mr. Fred. Harries. Among scores of other les shown are a number of the pos- ons of Zinka, the Indian baby found after the battle of Wounded Knee heside the dead body of es mother and taken of by G Col a Harries is an entertaining igctuves fully informed on Tis subject, and he is as: d by Walter Reiss, Fred.

The Kamptown Soshul Klub, an organ- ization of Western High School boys, wear- ing grotesque dress, was very much in evidence in all parts of the hall. The klub had for sale pins constructed of military buttons and did @ thriving business. The booth wnere- Mme.

A trip around the-hall is full of interest. The first divisior of the schools occupied three booths and displays, in attractive ar- rangement, all manner of juvenile goods— dolls and Christmag wonders. Baskets !s the specialty of gecond division A, but it also conducts a séda’ water fountain and a chocolate booth. In addition to its booth, situated next to the cooking school exhibit, second division B has_ established an orange grove in full bloom, where fruit, containing valuable ‘articles, is disposed of at 5 cents each. A Hterary salad is also a feature of this division. Embroidered linen is the particular display of the third di- vision, but it also conducts a number of mystery boxes. The fourth division is in charge of a fish pond, a bubble stand and a throwing game, in addition to its regular booth. A beautifully draped oriental room is the pride of the fifth division, while it also boasts of its tea inouse. Sixth division A makes a creditable showing, despite the fact that its forces are scattered about the hall. Among other things, it has on exhibi- tion a gramophone, a costly parrot and a table of cakes and candles. Five contiguous booths are assigned to .le four High Schools and the Normal School, and they need be seen to be appreciated. ‘The cooking, sewing and manual training exhibits have classes at work each evening, and the young folks attract more than passing attention. The department of cooking 1s represented in the southeast cor- ner of the hall. The furn'ture from one of the school kitchens has been transferred, and the lessons, which are new ones, are conducted precisely as they are in’ the regular kitchens. Two or three members of the class are appointed cooks, and they work under the direction of the teacher, while the other members carefully observe everything that is done, from which they : their own recipes. One of the latest donations is a lot at Kensington, Md., from Mr. B, H. Warner. This is to be yoted to the most popular young man. A lot at Ken Gar has been donated by Mr. Henry N. Copp. To give come idea of the magnitude of the bazaar, Superintendent Powell declared to a Star reporter that it would require the constant work of one man for one year to complete the carpentry work alone. Ac- cording to Mr. Powell everybody should attend, not only from sympathy with the cause, but also to witness an enterprise on a larger scale than anything heretofore at- tempted in this city of a similar nature.

THE RAILROAD STRIKE. Condition of the Anacostia Locked Out Men. vold of the Anacostia Rail- Company is expected to return home teday from his trip to the north, and it is thought that something Gefinite in regard to the prospects for rapjd transit between Aracostia and the city will be knowa shertly A repori prevailed last night in Anacostia rrangements had been completed by the Street Railway Assembly, which, as heretofore stated in The Star, has been operating three or four free coaches nearly ever since the lockout occurred between the town and the Navy Yard terminus of the cable line, to place fifteen herdics on the line and extend the route to 11th and G@ Streets northwest, Washington. It is claimed that those in control of the coach line have arrived at the conclusion that it will be only by carrying passengers from one terminus to the other of the An- accstia railway lire, and without charge, that enough travel can be attracted from the cars to seriously affect the revenues of the railway company. There were some persons, however, Anaccstia who have taken an active inter est. in the gmesent lockout, and whose avowed sympathies are with the locked-out men, who told a Star reporter that the im- provement in the transportation arrange- ments afforaed by the Railway Assembly will if consummated be the result of a no- tice, which it is intended by the citizens referred to to send to the mbly and also to ‘District Assembly No. , Knights of Labor, and of which those -parties by some received word, informing them that a much better service was provided the pe eonler: of Anacostle than is now President Gri. we for ee” XS Both the method and results when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts zently yet promptly on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys- tem effectually, dispels colds, head- aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation, Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of its kind ever pro- duced, pleasing to the taste and ac- ceptable to the stomach, prompt in its action and truly beneficial in its effects, prepared only from the most healthy and agreeable substances, its many excellent qualities commend it to all and have made it the most popular remedy known.

The improvements to be demanded, as stated by one of the leaders in the move- ment, sre much better service, including the operating of the coaches to a later heur at night, say 11 or 11:30 o'clock; more actual and =ctive cémpetition with the rail- way company, and increased pay for the drivers of the coaches, which is now said to be a mere pittance. Within a day or two members of the Street Railway Assembly have, it is said by the men approached, made overtures to the drivers of the railway company to unite with the K. of L., but the offers were refused. Satucday last, as stated by Superintend- ent Newton of the Anacostia Railway Com- pany, two of those who are now employed by che assembly us drivers of their coaches, and who formerly worked for the railway ecmpany, called on him and asked to be re-employed, stating, Mr. Newton said, that they wore receiving but $2 per week pay, and that as a matter of course they could not live on such a sum. One of the men said that unless matters improved with him very shortly he would have to join the army, although he has a family dependent upon him for support. To a Star reporter Mr. Newton said that the man last mentiongd was an excellent car driver, and had had a regular car for two years, but that he was unable to do arything for either of them. Some.of the leading citizens of the town intend, it is said, to make another appeal to President Griswold, and ask him to re- scind his order in reference to the exclu- sion of all his old drivers from future em- ployment by the company, as it is feared that unless he shall.consent to do so there will be much suffering in the town and vicinity that possibly can, if a compromise should ve effected, be prevented. The books of the railway company show that there were more passengers carried over the road Sunday last than for the cerresponding day of last year, and that the receipts from traffic on week days average as much as when there was no opposition. ——— The Mater Assault Case. Through Attorney M. Fields, Geo. W. Mater, the veterinary surgeon who was sentenced in the Police Ccurt several days ago to eleven months and _ twenty-nine days in jail for assaulting Mrs. Fannie M.

The petition was presented to Judge Bradley, who directed that the writ issue, returnable before him Wednesday morning. The alleged assault is said to have been committed on the Bladensburg road, and n his petiticn for the writ of habeas corpus Mater alleges that the said alleged offe was committed, if at all, without the Dis- trict; that the Police Court was, there- fore, without jurisdiction, and that he ts, for that reason, unlawfully deprived of his liberty. —— es Dr. Tessendorf, attorney general of the high court of the German empire, and fa- mous as an edvocuie, is dead at Leipsic.
