THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. The February LADIES’ HOME JOURNAL Ten Cents ON ALL NEWS-STANDS Ready Everywhere To-morrow Morning The Curtis Publishing Company, Philadelphia The question of supplying the town with water has for some time been discussed by the citizens of this place, and various propositjons have been made and listened to, but so far they have arrived at no defi- | nite conclusion. Col. W. S. Powell of An- napolis Junction recently submitted a prop- csition to the citizens to furnish them with water. His plan is to lay a line of pipes from the vicinity of Annapolis Junction to the District line and supply the communi- ties in this territory with water obtained from numerous springs near the former Place. At a preliminary meeting of the citizens of this town held last night at the Office of Justice Carr, which was presided ever by Dr. Owens, with Lewis O. Wiss- man <s secretary, the proposition made by Cel. Powell and the feasibility of forming an agreement with him were freely discuss- ed. After also discussing the advisability of bonding the town, to which the majority of gentlemen present appeared to be op- pesed, the following resolution, offered by Mr. Giusta, was unanimously adopted: “That the town commissioners communi- cate with Col. W. S. Powell and ascertain if the company which he represents would be wiiliag to furnish Hya'tiville as a cor- poration with water, and ff so, at what rate per hundred gallons; cr will the com- pany deal with individual consumers only? Upon obtaining this information they shall communicate the same to the citizens at # public meeting to be called by the town commissioners for this purpose, to which public meeting Col. Powell will be invited to fully express his views upon the sub- jlect.”” 2 The next meeting of the Republican Club of Hyattsville will be held Thursday even- STRENGTH FROM FOOD But the Food Must | Be Digested.

Perkins, late treasurer and collector for the years 1888-89-90 and’?1 be requested and instructed to make settle- ment for said years by the 15th day of March, 1896. . ——.__ TO AID GIRLS. Movement Among Charitable People 2 for a New Institution. There 1s a movement on foot among the charitable ladies of this city to establish a home for young girls who are in poverty or amid vicious surroundings, and also a place to serve for the homes of the infant chil- ren of unmarried giris, where the maternal affection can be kept alive, and where the child could unconsciously act as a mission- ary for the redemption of its mother. The movement is really a continuation of the good work cacried on by the House of Mercy, located at 2408 K st: which is a haven for erring girls. The necessity for such a home, for whicn the movement is started, is clearly evident through the workings of the House of Mercy. As contemplated, there is no intention of classing all of the inmates together, be- cause of the possible bad influence of the intermingling of virtuous and fallem girls. While’the new home would ke for virtuous girls in poor circumstaites and for in- fants, the mothers of the children would be kept at the House of Mercy. Int the new home the girls would be kept until about eighteen years of age, when situations would be procured for them. The girls would be taught houszwork in all its branches for their own betterment. The infants would be kept until three years of age, and during their stay at the home the mothers would be invited and,induced to visit them, and if possible, assist in their support, the maternal bond being thought to be able to accomplish a vast deal of Pe i The contemplated institution will be run entirely separate from the House of Mercy, though the sisters of mercy of the Episco- pal Church would doubtless have the man- agement of it, though in its workings the new home would be non-sectarian. Nocom- pulsion will be used, and as in the House of Mercy, the girls would come of their own free will. The movement has heretofore been kept up by private canvassing, but now a general appeal to the public is made to help the good work along. Mrs. Samuel Donelson of No. 1706 M street has consent- ed to receive all subscriptions for the worthy charity. Already one young lady whose name is withheld has offered to pay the first month’s rent for a suitable build. ing when one is secured. As soon as ether assurances of support are received the movement will be put into practical execu. tion. FINE FURNITURE ~ At Cost And on Credit!

Why His Friends Think He Had Bet- ter Remain Away From the Convention. The Foraker question—and it may be timely to say that the Foraker question relates solely to the attitude of Mr. Foraker toward the McKinley presidential boom— new presents an entirely new phase. Shall the newly elected Senator head the Ohio Gelegation to the St. Louis convention? It is for him to decide. The McKinley people —cnce so distrustful to him—are now anx- fous to have him take charge of their favorite’s interests at St. Louis, while Mr. Fcraker’s own friends are counseling him to remain at home. Mr. Foraker himself is represented as being in doubt about the matter. The argument against the appearance of Mr. Foraker at the republican national con- vention runs on this line: The McKinley people in Ohio are too confident. They ex- aggerate the strength of their favorite be- fore the country. They seem to believe that his candidacy has only to escape the suspicion in the convention that in past conventions hung over Mr. Sherman's can- didacy to win. But let the St. Louis con- vention be convinced that Ohio, through here delegation, is speaking words of sin- cerlty in asking for Mr. McKinley’s nomi- ration, and it will be made. What the Foraker People Say. The Foraker people cannot concede this Froposition. It puts too great a responsi- bility on the delegation, and they are advis- ing Mr. Foraker not to assist in assuming it. He 1s an orator, and if he goes to the con- vention a great speech will be expected of Fim. He is a good politician, and effective work will be expected of him. If he goes, Lis friends assert that he will loyally meet every expectation within reason, and do unto McKinley what he would have Mc- Kinley do unto him. But what will be the result if after all this service McKinley loses the prize? The making of a direct charge, the Foraker people fear, that the service lacked sincerity. Men in defeat are seldom log:cal. They lay about them in an extra- ordinary way in an effort to fix the re- sponsibility for the disaster. It would be useless to remind the McKinley people that Mr. Foraker had gone to the convention at their instance, or to point to his activity there. hey will be able to see but one thing, and that thing the defeat of their favorite. If He Stays at Home. On the other hand, what will be the criticism incurred by Mr. Foraker If he decides to stay at home? Wilf he not be charged with ingratitude? Wil) not the opponents of Mr. McKinley in other states seize upon the decision to the detriment of Mr. McKinley? Will they not refuse to accept it as a precaution against misrepre- sentation, and make it the very vehicle of misrepresentation? Will they not point to the absence of Mr. Foraker as incontestible proof that Ohio is lukewarm toward Mc- Kinley? “Ig Ohio really wanted her man nominated,” the anti-McKinley people will say, “she would have sent Foraker here to plead for him, Those buckeyes are a strange set. They are always fighting among themselves. Sherman could never command his brethren, nor could McKin- ley, it now seems. We are sorry for Mc- Kinley, but it would be foolish to nominate him when it is thus made plain that there {s division in his own household.” Not a Presidential Quantity. The suggestion that Mr. Foraker may become a presidential quantity himself is not seriously considered. He need not, it fs thought, remain away from St. Louis on that account. Ohio is as much committed to Mr. McKinley as she could become to anybody. She will appear at the conven- tion bearing instructions for Mr. McKin- ley, and if she is to enjoy any-conskieration at all before that body, she must stick to them. She could not afford: to withdraw Mr. McKinley’s.name and present that of Mr. Forakér. Any performance on ‘her part smacking ® the least of hocus-pocus would of itself be disastrous to her and.to all of her sons. + SCHEME OF SUGAR DRAWBACKS. The Polariscope Furnishes a Basis of Award Rebates. Tle Secretary of the Treasury has ap- proved a schedule which will hereafter gov- ern customs officers In determining the drewhacks to be allowed on exported refined sugar made from imported raw sugar. Un- der this sehedule the department will allow a drawback on 118.67 pounds of raw sugar testing 0 degrees, for each one hundred pounds of refined sugar exported, and for each Ligher degree of polariscopic test of the Taw sugar the allowance will be as fol- lows: Ninety-one degrees, 116.81; 92 degrees, 114.94; 93 degrees, 113.07; 94 degrees, 111. 95 degrees, 109.34; 96 degrees, 107.47; 97 de- grees, 105.60; degrees, 103.73; 99 degrees, 101,87; 100 degrees, 100. For each degree below 90 the increase is approximately 1.87 pounds. American Prisoners in the Transvaal. In response to an inquiry from Secretary Olney as to the measures taken to protect the Americans arrested in the Transyaal in connection with the late uprising, Ambas- |.sador Bayard has cabled that, according to kis present information, uniform, humane and indulgent personal treatment is being extended to all persons, including Ameri- cans, by the Boer government. This in- formation has been communicated to mem- bers of the California delegation in Con- gress, who are being flooded with telegrams urging them to have the State Department do something for the relief of Hammond, the American mining engineer, imprisoned as one of the ringleaders of the attempt at revolution in Johannesburg. It is taken to mean that the American prisoners will be treated precisely as those of other nation- ality, without fear or favor. —_+-e+____ To Enforce a Lien.

Lena Ganz, 4 widow, who lives on the old Scheutzen properiy on Bright- wood avenue, was before the Police Court yesterday charged,with keeping an unli- eensed bar. Her counsel, Lawyer Nauck, | appeared and entefed<a plea: of guilty. “In entering this ples siunsel referred to the defendant's two smalf children, and asked that her personal bopds.be taken, in order that she might be itted to return home and take care of children. The judge. | accepted the plea, but before imposing sen- tence in the case heard the evidence of the police and citizen wifnesses. Commenting on e violations of the Mquor law in the ,‘mile Umit,” the judge said {t was a deplorable thing, and he thinks that these places are productive of More evil than any schol of vice. “Not long ago,” said the court, “there were a number of persons from this seciton tried for violating the law, and in one case @ woman was tried ise her hushand had fled to escape arrest. In cases from this section there was more perjury to the square inch than in any other class of cases. We had old soldiers out there get- ting drunk and tumbling about the road, and they never could tell what they drank. Some of them found lying about the road thought they had been drugged.” Judge Miller commented on the fact of worren with children enguging in this kind of business, and said he could not see his way clear to take the woman’s personal bonds because she has the children, Then he told of how children were used in the policy business to shield older persons, and said it was not until a thirteen-year-old girl was sent to jail that they gave up the business. Counsel said that a man, Mrs. Garz’s brother-in-law, was in business on the same premises, and Mr. Pugh thought that he did most of the work. Judge Miller said he would dispose of the case on Saturday, after the case of her brother-in-law had been tried. The Brother-in-Law, George Meyers, the brother-in-law, was next put on trial, and Policeman Yetton testified that on Sunday night there was a party at the Scheutzen Park, which he at- tended, and while there he bought whisky and beer. 5 After hearing all the testimony, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Notice of a motion for a new trial was filed and the case, as well as that of Mrs. Ganz, will be disposed of a week from tomorrow. os CAPITOL TOPICS. To License Mates.

Hil, Young Man Receives an Accidental ‘Wound—Cases in the Police Court and Other Interesting Notes. Mr. J. M. Hill, owner of the St. Asaph race track, yesterday. received, by Adams ex- press, a veritable infernal machine from Atlania, Ga. It was an innocent enough looking wooden box, about twelve inches icng, three inches wide and three deep. The box was taken into a back room and opened. When the lid was removed a mass of scrap iron, screws, boits, etc., and powder filled the interior of the box. To say that the ™men were frightened is useless, for with a bound they were soon outside of the room and waiting for an explosion; but none came. The men cautiously crept back into the room and up to the box, and, after careful examfnation, it was found that the fuse which had been put im it had been broken in transit. The matter is being in- vestigated, and the sender, if found, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Mr. Hill was seen by a Star reporter last night and said that he had no idea who could have sent the machine, but supposed that some “crank” had done it. Accidentally Shot. The sevinteen-yesr-old son of Mr. J. D. Varnum of Fairfax county was accidental- ly shot at his home in the county yester- day. He had a one-barreled pistol in his pantalcons pocket and the weapon was discharged, the ball passing almost entirely through the leg. He was brought to this city, where Dr. Klipstein tried to locate the ball, but was unsuccessful. The young man will be brought here again tomorrow to receive further medical treatment. Pelice Court. ‘The police on duty last night report the night as rainy and cool; one prisoner and twenty lodgers at the station house. A. J.

The suit of Mr. Zora Hill against Henry Washington, colored, for the possession of a house at the corner of Alfred and Queen streets, came up before Justice Sinclair yes- terday. Washington rented the house from Mr. Hill about a year and a half ago, and has not paid a cent’s rent for it, and re- fused to vacate when ordered. The justice gave judgment for the plaintiff. An appeal was taken Notes. Mrs, Williams B, Smoot held a handsome reception at her residence on Prince street yesterday evening, between the hours of 5 and 7 o'clock. There was a large crowd present from Baltimore, Washington and this city. The Alexandria correspondent of The Star can be found at 1012 Prince street un- ‘til 2 o'clock every day, where he will be glad to receive communications, etc. A special called meeting of the Catholic Benevolent League was held last night, when the arrangements for.a banquet on the 28th were completed. There are now confined in the city jail thirty-eight persons, only five of whom are white. Mr. Charles Goodrich, a clerk for the Geo. R. Hill Company, is ill at his home on Duke street. —-— . HIS PECULIARITIES. David Moore's Actions Related im the WAL Case. The alleged peculiarities of the late David Moore were detailed to the jury today in Circuit Court No. 2, Judge McComas, in the case of the widow and children of James L. Moore against Mrs. Annie E. Barbour, the widow of James L. Barbour. As explained in yesterday’s Star, the will of David Moore is attacked, although the suit is one in ejectment. The will, made in 1876, cut off Mrs. Bar- bour'’s brother, and, after it had been ad- mitted to probate, her brother not pro- testing, it is said, she entered upon the property, said to be now worth about $2%),- 400. Upon the death of her husband Mrs. James L.. Moore filed the suit, claiming that her father-in-law's will was not lawfully executed; that he was mentally incapable of executing it, and that it was procured through the undue influence and fraud of Mr. and Mrs. Barbour or some others. The present 1s the second trial of the case, the Court of Appeals having set aside the first verdict, which was in favor of the widow and children of Mrs. Barbour’s brother. Miss Moore, the first witness called in the present trial, detailed yester- day and today the peculiarities of her grandfather. His memory, she said, was very, very defective, and in almost every- thing he was childish. He was a very pro- fane man, and, much against her inclina- tion, Miss Moore was required to repeat the old man’s language. He always had a set way of retiring, and if the slightest detail was omitted by those assisting him the air became blue with profanity. He in- variably slept between two buffalo robes, three or four pistols being within easy reach. She was quite confident that at the time his will was made the old man was mentally incapable of executing it. THE HEBREW FAIR.- Everything Points to a Substantial Social and Artistic Success. ‘The preliminaries of the approaching He- brew fair are being rapidly arranged, and the expectations of the promoters of the applaudable entérprise promise to be more than realized. There is a general tendency apparent on the part of business men here and in other cities to assist the undertak- ing both in a moral and substantial way, and the ladies who will participate are de- termined te accomplish equally as much in making the event a eocial and artistic suc- cess. The press committee, which has charge of the Hebrew Fair Journal, met last night in the Ad-writers’ Club and de- cided upon the character of the paper. It wiil contain a variety of high-class and en- tertaining reading matter, dnd its sixteen pages will also be generously favored by advertisers. The business manager, Mr. Samuel Gans, reported substantial progress in his department. The ladies of Deborah Lodge are determined to have the most at- tractive booth at the fair, and the design which has been accepted assures them their wishes will be gratified. They have re- ceived a bewildering amount of contribu- tions, embracing many valuable and useful articies. Mrs. Moser will be in charge of Deborah Lodge table, and her charming as- sistants will be Mrs. Guckeaheimer, Mrs. Sackerman, Mrs. Kronheimer, Mrs. Bres- lauer, Mrs. Bernheimer, Mrs. Blumenfeld, Mrs. Einstine, Mrs. Coblenzer, Mrs. Herzog, Mrs. Hass, Mrs. Sanger, Miss Amelia Moser and Miss Sadie Sackerman. —_——__ The Naval Militia. The grvernor of North Carolina has in- fcrmed the Navy Department that he has revoked the commission of Commander Francis Winslow, the head of the naval bat- talion of the state. Particulars are not giv- en, but it fs understood that there has been a difference between the governor and the ccmmander, who is a retired naval officer, growing out of & failure of the latter to make returns.as desired. According to unofficial reports from Ili- nois, it appears that there still remain of the Chicago battalion of the naval militia about 300 members, although no comman: rg officer has been designated.
