In my early days, by great and pro- longed ntental suffering, I broke down in health end t dyspeptic, being obliged at one time to give up my work in the ministry on account of St heath.

THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. L POLITICS Meetings Held at Different Places Last Night. A LIVELY TIME AT GREEN'S HALL Gleeson and Bailey Indorsed After a Gocd Deal of Confusion. FATE‘OF OTHER CANDIDATES The West End was again invaded last night by a political meeting. Green’s Hall on Pennsylvania avenue, near 17th street, was the scene of this contest of statesman- ship, which was kept up until a late hour. The Phomas B. Reed Club of the sixth district was in charge of the meeting, and the republicans of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh districts joined in celebrating the occasion, and wound up by indorsing Gleeson and Bailey as candidates for the rational convention. Difficulty in Getting Started. There was a good deal of difficulty ex- perienced in getting the meeting started, as about one dozen embryo politicians wanted to talk, presumably on politics, and when President J. Harry Smith went up on the platform to preside he pounded the desk until worn out by the exercise, but only added confusion to the scene. Finally a half a dozen sergeants-at-arms were ap- pointed, and these gentlemen succeeded, with the aid of the Pickaninny Drum Corps, which was stationed In the gallery, in subduing the would-be speakers. But the Pickaninny Drum Corps were so en- couraged by their victory in drowning the voices of the orators that they became very jubilant, and insisted upon playing ‘‘March- ing Through Georgia” without an inter- mission, until finally the sergeants-at-arms were ordered to make a raid on the drum cerps and subdue them. When this was accomplished, J. Hale Sypher was given the floor, though for a while he had to contend for his right of possession against other claimants, who were eventually reduced to a condition of at least partial! silence. Mr. Sypher said that he had attended a good many politicai meetings, but this was the worst he nad as yet encountered. He called for order and launched upon a dis- sertation on the rights of the citizens of the District of Columbia to suffrage. Then he took up the different candidates who ee heen named as possible delegates to convention. He paid his respects to . Myron M. Parker in a very positive way, and said that Mr. Parker had not the least chance of being elected, but that he had “allowed old Perry to persuade him he could carry him on his back.” The Drum Corps Breaks Ont. This called forth an immense uproar, nich was added to by the Pickaninny and for a while it seemed as if bediam had been turned loose. Mr. Sypher said that he did not want his re- marks to be reported in the newspapers. Returning to the candidates, the general said that Colonel Perry Carson might have been good encugh to represent the colored race fifteen. years azo, when his people had no education and did not know much about citizenship rights. He said that Carson was a back number, had served his time and would have to give way for a better man. Mr. Sypher then continued: “Now there is Andy, an rough Irish- man. Andy has been my client for over fifteen years and I know his worth as I want to say to you that if that old Irishman had had a college edu- cation he would have been as big a man as Daniel O’Connell.ever was.” There was another vfproar at this point, as the audience joined with the drum corps Ta Es fe ths “) An Appeal for Harmony. in making a noise, and it was fully five minutes before order could be restored. The sergeants-at-arms all felt that they were men on whom the destiny of the meeting largely depended, and they en- deavored to awe the men whom they were zy fe * Is) 5 y cl 3 Ni: 3 2 ie) | SI 4 a e f° :] if le} x le | ie ° id ny 6! le x le | 5 le! | 5 le! o | | hd le . $50,000 i d WORTH OF | ie y Tt i*| | FURNITURE AND y 1% | ic CARPETS TO BE Ml ¥4] i SACRIFICED! x AND ON i le 5 5 of | Fix the payments to sult yourself— |*) $, weekly or monthly—no notes—no interest. |?) ti All carpets made and Iaid—free of cost— |,) |¢, no charge for waste in matching figures.

The vice president of the associa- tion sat on the platform and looked mad all the evening. Calvin Chase’s Predictions. Their services were to be called in when Mr. William Calvin Chase attempted to speak. Mr. Chase predicted that the elec- tion on the 28th of January would be a disgrace to the republican party. “Will it ever get any better?” yelled a man in the front of the hall. “Shet up, shet up, shet up,” yelled the vice president of the meeting, who had sat on the platform looking mad for just The Gathering of the Clans. such an occasion as this, and he waved his bands at the questioner much as if he were shooing a flock of chickens. Mr. Chase continuei to say that Perry Carson has as his ning mate M. M. Parker, than whom, Mr. Chase asserted, there was never a greater tryant in the office of Commissioner. Mr. Chase then spoke of the good qualities of Mr. Andrew Gleeson, who, he said, was always ready to help any man in need without regard to his color or nationality. “While he has not got much education,he has a power of good sense,” said Mr. Chase. More Noise and Disorder. Whether Mr. Parker and Col. Carson had friends in the audience or not there was a great stir at this point of the proceedings, and the sergeants-at-arms had all they could do to restore order. The presiding officer sald he wanted to make a state- ment. He wanted to tell the audience something in “‘all candor.” He sald that as was well known there were a number of sergeants-at-arms present, and that ff peo- ple did- not behave themselves they would be put out, but as this threat had been made before ard not executed it had very little effect on the assembled politicians. Mr. Chase proceeded to discuss the qualifi- Rival Leaders. cations cf Mr. L. M. Saunders, whose name had been suggested by some one in the audience. He said that he had no use for Mr. Saunders, and he wanted to tell why. He spoke of the late Frederick Douglass, whom he compared to Mr. Gladstone, and said that when Mr. Douglass wanted to rent a house from Mr. Saunders Mr. Saunders excused himself and said that he could not rent his house because Mt. Doug- lass was a colored man. A Man Wanted to Talk. The greatest confusion now prevailed, and aman in the audience got up to say some- thing. He was the most persistent of all the would-be speakers of the evening. Threats and persuation were equally wasted upon him, and he insisted upon asking Mr. Chase a question. Finally, the half dozen ‘-arms surrounded him, and could do nothing, withdrew for consultation. Some believed in moral suasion and others believed in force, and a battle between the sergeants-at-arms for the purpose of deciding upon a method to be used to squelch the persistent talker was narrowly averted. The situation was rendered mo-e complex by a man from the rear of the iall coming forward with the argument that they could not keep that man from talking. He said they had not the power, an he went on to tell something about how the Constitution guaranteed freedom of speech. Finally, it was deemed best to let the man say what he wanted, and {i was found he had not any very inflammable laiguage to give vent to after all, but in great excitement he told Mr. Chase that if he had “such charges as them” to make against Mr. Saunders he ought to bring along the documentary evi- dence. “If that man will stay sober long enough,” said Mr. Chase, referring to the interrupting politician, “and will come to my office I will furnish him with the doc- umentary proofs.” The uproarous condition of the meeting roused the indignation of a very black man, who, had up to that moment, sat with the utmost decorum in a corner of the room. “I wish that every man in the house,” he said, “would keep the best order he can keep. Show 'em how you're raised. Show ‘em you're raised right. Keep quiet he yelled. ‘The Drum Corps Agnin. As this admonition did not bring order the drum corps joined in, and the little pickaninny who had the bass drum tried to beat its head in. When Mr. Chase got the floor again he made scme very uncomplimentary remarks about the way the government is run here, and wanted to know “whether the tax payers here are entitled to some consider- ation.” There must have been a good mapy oppressed taxpayers present, as this An Argument. sentiment was applauded to the echo. The next speaker was T. T. Allain, for- merly a state senator of Louisiana and now a resident of Chicago. He opened his remarks by repeating Shakespeare's lines on the treasonable inclination of souls not stirred by music, saying he had been much pleased with the efforts of the drum corps. This compliment was too much for the pickaninnies. They thought they would | have to return it and again began play- ing “Marching Through Georgia.” They kept if up so long that Mr. Allain repented having complimented them, and it required a™threat of sending several sergeant-at- arms to put them out of the hall in order 11 to restore quiet. ‘Mr. Allain sald that he had heard a ‘deal abo&t the illiteracy of the colored e in the District of Co- lumbia, but he said the ratio of illiteracy of white men here is 13 per cent, which, considering the opportunities past and present, of the ite race, was a very poor showing. At this point Mr. L. M. Saunders entered the hell, and thgp vicé president of the meeting was dispatched to the door to escort him to the platform. Mr. Saunders took a seat on the platform and became an interested spectator, Gleeson and! Bailey Indorsed. Previous to sdjournment the candidacy of Mr. Andrew Gleeson and Mr. Bailey for delegates wa indorsed. Spellbinders in South Washington. Richard Laws presided over a lively meet- ing at the hall of the Gallilean Fishermen, on F street southwest, last night. The gathering represented the colored republl- cans of the seventeenth, elghteenth and eleventh districts, and was addressed by many speakers. E. P. Early of Virginia upheld the candidacy of C. J. Ortlip, and then Mr. L. M. Saunders took the platform and made a speech in behalf of bis own caniidacy. Milton M. Holland also spoke. The meeting was largely composed of the friends of Robert H. Key, and when that candidate spoke he received much applause. Jim Gordon, however, was not a Key man, and he made a short speech, in which he declared that Carson would run over Key in his own district. Speeches were made, also, by James W. Poe, Fred Dyson, J. H. Sypher and Aaron Bradshaw, chairman of the district central committee. Mr. Brad- shaw announced himself as a candidate for the honor of going to St. Louis as delegate. Various Candidates Indorsed. At a meeting of the Republican Club of the fifteenth district, held at 464 K street last night, resolutions were adopted indors- ing L. C. Bailey and Andrew Gleeson for A Call to Order. the St. Louis convention and officers were elected as follows: John L. Bell, president; William Freeman, vice president; Abner Jones, secretary; Daniel Jones, assistant secretary; Alphonso Brice, treasurer; Aleck Harris, sergeant-at-arms; Sidney Smith, as- sistant sergeant-at-arms. Carson and Parker were indorsed for delegates and W. F. Thomas for alternate by the republicans of the fifth district at a mass meeting held last night in Peterson's Hall. on C street. between 2ist and 22d streets. There w: yan. @ large attendance, and much enthusiasm greeted the speakers, among whom ware F. D. Lee, J. T. Harris, J.C. Wright, Wiitiam Rucker. The school house, at Ivy City was the’ scene of a meeting of the Carson and Par- ker Club of that Vicinity last night, at which arrangentents were made for the approaching elegtiop, Joseph W. Lee was chosen chairman and John W. Jackson, secretary. Col. Carson addressed the meet- ing, and speeches were also made by a number of well-known republicans in the northeastern part of the District. Other Meetings Held. At Benning there was a large gathering of republicans in Hiberty Hall, and after Green Slade was elected president and G. M. Carroll secretary, a number of speeciies were made, and resolutions were unani- mou:ly passed Hidorsing L.t! Bailey and L. M. Saunders as delegates to the na- tional repubiican convention. A meeting was held last night in the sixth district, in Catholic Hall, on 18th street northwest. Mr. Jerry Mathews pre- sided. The speakers were L. M. Saunders, J.C. Wright, L. H. Peterson and F. D. Lee. All the speakers, with the exception of Mr. Saunders, were in behalf of P. H. Car- son and M. M. Parker. The meeting in- dcrsed Carson and Parker for delegates, and Francis Thomas as alternate, to the St. Louis convention. Willing Working Club. A republican mass meeting was held last evening at Mount Hermon Baptist Church, C street between 21st and 22d streets north- west, under the auspices of the Willing Working Parker and Carson’ Club, No. 1, of the fifth district. Vice President J. H. Matthews presided. Henry Hedgman and Words of Counsel. Jchn Byrd were appointed sergeant-at-arms ‘and assistant, respectively, and the wis- dom of their selection to occupy those offices was quickly demonstrated, for while the chairman was making the opening ad- dress fcr the evening a man, said to be a Bailey adherent, from another election dis- trict, interrupted the speaker. One Man Pat Ont.- The party was warned to keep quiet, and threatened with ejection If he did not do so, but a few moments later he again tried to ask a question of the chair, and was quickly put out gf dgors. It was a considerable time before there were any more interruptions, but those who made them kept*!pretty quiet after being warned by the sérgeant-at-arms of the con- sequences if they pdrsisted. At one point in the progress of the meeting there was a good deal of noise made in the back of the church. It Waw Nét a Fight. Cries of “Fight! fight!” were raised, and orders were given'to put the combatants out of doors, so that’ they could fight as Iqng as they desired, but’ before the door could be opened the discovery was made that the tumult was occdsioned by a man who had been asleep falling*from the bench upon which he was sitting to the floor. The speakers, liesiqes the chairman, were F. D. Lee, J. C. Wright, W. G. Pierson, W. B. Phillips and several others. A resolution was adopted, amidst much enthusiasm, in- dorsing Parker and Carson. They Want More Time. A large number of the friends of the vari- cus candidates for the positions of delegates and alternates to the republican national convention are dissatisfied with the arrange- ment which has been made by the super- visors of election for having the polls open but three hours on election day, and it is understood will Saturday next call on the supgevisors and ask them to extend the time 0 Mx hours or all day, if the board is will- ine to have tke elections continue for that length of time. It is claimed by these per- sens that it will be impossible to get in the vote of even a small fraction of those who wish to take part in the election, if the polls are to be opened but three hours, from 3 to 6 p.m. SE IA RTE THE TRAINING OF Women Bread Winners 18 A SERIES OF ARTICLES NOW APPEARING IN THE WOMAN’S MAGAZINE.

The parlors, which were handsome- ly decorated, were thronged all the even- ing with merry guests, and one of the rooms set apart for dancing was taken Possession of by the young folks. The supper was a great success, two long tables laden with good things, and adorned with jars of roses and maidenhair ferns. An orchestra furnished delightful music throughout the evening. The happy couple were -united in matrimony twenty-five years ago by Rabbi Krausekopf of New York. Mrs. Ottenberg’s maiden name being Regina Kaufman. One of the features of the evening was the fancy dancing by the two youngest children, Louis and Birdie Ottenburg. Telegrams were received from all parts of the United States and Europe.

Benjamin Harrison and Mrs. Dim- mick will be married immediately after Lent, according to a close friend of ihe general at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, last night. The formal announcement will be made as soon as Mr. Harrison returns from Washington. He will be here today. An- other New York contribution to the same piece of news is that the engagement will be announced before Lent and the wedding day named. The marriage of Mr. John Daniels Rose of Henderson, N. C., and Miss Alice Hamil- ton Young of this city was quietly cele- brated at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. William Hamilton Young, 1201 11th street, this morning at 10 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by the bride's cousin, Rt. Rev. Joseph Cheshire, bishop of North Carolina. The house was prettily decorated with palms and cut flowers. The bride was becomingly gowned in a tailor-made suit of dark blue cloth, with a jaunty hat to match, and carried a superb bouquet of lilles of the valley. Her only attendant was her sister, Miss Lucy Hay- wood Young, who was maid of honor, and wore a dainty gown of white organdie, with green ribbens, and carried La France roses. Mr. and Mrs. Rose left immediately after the ceremony for an extended north- ern tour. Their future home will be Hen- derson, C. The bride received many elegant presents from Washington, Bal- timore, Philadelphia and North Caro- lina, her native state. —_—__——_ National University Alumni. The annual meeting of the Alumni Asso- ciation of the National University was held last evening in the law department build- ing, 818 13th street, and generally attended by the members. President Charles Ly- man was in the chair. At the business meeting some minor changes in the con- stitution of the association were adopted, and officers for the ensuing year elected as follows: President, Charles Lyman; vice presidents, Dr. Thomas J. Jones, W. P. Williamson and J. William McKinley; sec- retary, Shelby Clarke; treasurer, Charles B, Bayly. An interesting feature of the meeting was the reading of a paper by the historian of the association, Shelby Clarke, who traced the organization and development of the university. He stated that George Wash- ington, by his will, left $30,000 to be used in founding a national university, and that Madison, Thomas Jefferson and others had endeavored to have the project carried out. Gen. Grant, he said, was the first chan- cellor of the university, and presided at the conferring of degrees upon the gradi ates during his term as President. The pa- per was listened to with great attention and interest by the members of the asso- elation. Mrs. Ln Fetra’s Resignation. At the regular monthly meeting of the executive committee of the ¥ branch of the W. C. T. U. of the District, held at Y headquarters Monday evening, Mrs. 8. D. Le Fetra tendered her resignation as presi- dent of the Y branch. After long discus- sion her resignation was accepted. It was with genuine regret that this ac- tion was taken. Miss S. E. White, the re- cording secretary of the Y branch, has forwarded a memorial to the W. C. T. U. ennouncing that Mrs. La Fetra’s resign tion was accepted only when it became cer- tain that she could no longer serve, and expressing the deep obligation the organi- zation is under to her for her efforts in its behalf for the last fifteen months. Believ- ing that the Y’s should be permitted to name her successor they have asked the W. C. T. U. to delay the election until such time as the various organizations com- prising the Y branch shail make known its wishes in the matter. — +» Pancake Flour. 4 combination of the. great, staffs of lite— WH CORN and RICE BERE'S OUH GUARAN ‘TEE—Buy a Genuine Aunt Jemima’s Self-raising Pancake and if you do not find it makes the beat cakes 70a ever ate, return the empty box to your the grocer will re! pape TAKE NO SUBS red and pafectured aly by MILL CO., St. Joseph, Mo Gctontifcally 1 oc00w, tnt Twr for Purity of Materisland// Deliciousness of Flavor.

The Washington Stamp Club held an auction sale of postage stamps last even- ing, which was well attended by coilec- tors and was quite a successful affair. This is the first time such a sale has been at- tempted here, although they are held reg- ularly in nearly all large cities. The Stamp Club, which was organized about a year ago, is a very successful organization, with commodious quarters in the Loan and Trust building, where meetings are haid twice a month for the exchange of stamps and information on the subject. The club has increased in membership to over fifty, has a philatelic library of its own, and proposes to hold its auction sales very month hereafter. Mr. Wm. A. John- son is now the president, and Mr. A. C. ‘Townsend is secretary. The club is now discussing the feasibility of holding a public exhibition of the stamps of its members, for the purpose of informing the public on the extent and in- terest’ of the hobby, and also interesting more yeople in the fescinating study. ‘The club is also considering the idea of forming a ladies’ branch, as there are a number of collectors among the wives of naval officers and ees ladies of the city. Their Mission t to Richmond. A committee of the Citizens’ League of Alexandria county, Va., will go to Rich- mond Friday to appear before the com- mittee having charge of the racing bills now before the lezislature of Virginia, to present the views of the league on this sub- ject, and also to urge the passage of sev- era] bills, which have been framed by the league tending to a revision of the excise law of the county, the improvement of the public roads, and removal cf the county court house to some point within the coun- ty. The committee is composed of Messrs. 8. S. urdette, A. A. Lipscomb, W. W. Dougias ard Frank Lyon. The object of this ccmmittee is to im- press upon the members of the legisiature that outside of those directly interested in the race tracks, the citizens of the county are totally opposed to racing, accompanied by pool selling or any form of gambling. ———— Potomac Post.

If any are incredulous, they can easily be assured by calling upon the Doctor, or what would be far bet- ter, placing themselves under his treatment. THAT Would soon convince them. The method of treat- ment is somewhat as follows: Technical terms are omitted in order net to obscure the subject: Take the case of catarrh—which is very common in this latitude—the instruments used are all of recent invention and combine, with efficacious cleansing, ® thoroughness an1 mildness im application never before equaled. Spray prodacers, Nos. 1, @, 3, 4 5, 6 and 7, are the most wonderful inventions ever devised for reaching the inferior of the bead, throat and lungs. Skillful chemists of Jong expe rience have experimented with healing herbs, of the forest and the field, gleaned from every part of the known worid, and thereby determined, be- yond the shacow of a doubt, jest what kind of medicine would be the most efficacious and perma- nent in its result. ‘These medicines are vaporized through atomiz:rs and applied warm, thus produe- ing the most soothing effect. In fact, children who are treated by this method ere easily persuaded to continue the treatment, because of its mild snd painless character, The parts affected are thor- oughly cleansed, and with compressed gir as a pro- pelling forse, the vaporized ofls are directed by the skillful hand of the operator, through the won- derfal little instruments, DIRECTLY upon the im flamed or disease ps You ill observe by this system of treatment that no medicine is allowed to go Into the stomach, thereby reserving that Im- portant organ for the legitimate business of mak- ing blood. Ry this method the Doctor arrests and cures catarrh, asthma, bronchitis and “‘comman colds” BEFORE the TUBERCULOSIS-RACILLUS | bas time to develop. Upon so interesting a subject | one might «rite a book and not exhaust it. What | suffering Immanity wants to know ts, can those Giseases be cured and eliminated from the boman | system? So great is Doctor Riegel’s confidence in his ability to do so, that he unhesitatingly offers to treat all who may desire it PREE OF CHARGE up to the point whe-e the patient acknowlefizes relief. Orators, actors, singers and others who are hliged to use the voice find thelr vocal chords ste ened by this method of treating the theant, “It is mot an unusual thing to meet in the offices of Doctor Riegel she statesmen of the nation, the wealthy strangers visiting here and prominent citi ens of our beautiful city who have come tn to have their throat and nose sprayed to give relief AND PREVENT MORE SERIOUS CONSE QUENCES. fa soaveutt mage gh eg rinday, Souveul? rea Ta els és, Lace, Paper Ra ty £ 100), Toys, &e.
