He failed to show up, ever, sO Policeman Cochran arrested him last evening, and, it was testified, Bernard again acted tn a disorderly man- ner. ‘The accused declared that the lamp was burning a moment before he. met the po- liceman, denied that he was abusive or promised to appear In court, but admitted that he called Cochran a “chump.” Judge Kimball believed the latter, and imposed a fine of five dollars. ——__ $1.25 to Baltimore and Return.

Lyceum Theater—The New DOCTORS AND DIRECTORS|THE WORLD OF SOCIETY WOMEN’ OF> CULTURE Their Relations Are Harmonious at Ool umbia Lying-In Hospital. Differences Over the Dispensary De- partment No Longer Exist—Every- , thing is Running Smoothly. Considerable interest has been occasioned in medical circles by the announcement that differences of a serious character had arisen between some of the members of the medical board of Columbia Lying-in Hos- pital and the lay directors of that institu- tion. It has been known for some time that Dr. J. Foster Scott, the chief obstetrician at the hospital, was bitterly opposed to the action taken by the board of directors some time ago in removing the dispensary department of the hospital from under the charge of the medical hoard, and organiz- ing it as a separate branch directed by the members of the lay board. The establish- ment of the dispensary, under the condi- tions described, was accompanied by the eppointment of Dr. Smith as superintend- ent in charge. It is said that Dr. Smith, who is a son of Mr. Frank H. Smith, a member of the board of directors, had things made quite unpleasant for him dur- ing his sojourn at the hospital, and that the board of lay directors did not consider that he had teen treated altogether justly. The recent action of the directors in elect- ing Dr. Henry D. Frye as chief obstetrician im the place of Dr. Scott caused much gos- sip, and there have been all sorts of ru- mors going around regarding the dissen- sicns that are alleged to exist between the medical and lay rds who exercise con- trol over the respective branches of the hospital. ° Conversation today with several persons familiar with the facts in the case dis- covered nothing to show that there were row any differences existing between the professional and non-professional gentle- men connected with the institution. The Facts in the Case. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, who is president of the board of directors of the hospital, was visited by a Star reporter today and interrogated in relation to the rumors of trouble at the institution. ‘There has been no trouble,” said Mr. Wilson, “and I do not anticipate that there will be any, even though efforts may be made to bring it about. The fact of the matter is that some time ago the board of directors concluded to give more attention to the dispensary department of the hospital, and with this end in viéw a separate organization of that department was instituted, and a young nan, who had studied both abroad and in this country, and who was well fitted to the position, was placed in charge of it. He was the son of Mr. F. H. Smith, a mem- ber of the board of directors =" : “Some of the surgeons on the medical board, I believe, ratner objected to the es- tablishment of the dispensary under the conditions I have described, but it was merely of a temporary nature, and Dr. Smith's appointment was of a Emited char- acter also. The time for which he was ap- pointed expired just previous to the annual election, on Tuesday last, and things are going on now just as they were previous to his appointment. “The officers of the Columbia Lying-in Hospital,” continued Mr. Wilson, “are nom- inated by 2 committee, cansisting of Mr. H. A. Willard, Mr. S. W. Woodward and Mr. Wine. When the nominations of the medical board for the coming year svere announced, the name of Dr. Frye was pre- sented In place of that of-Dr..Scott, who has been at the hospital for a long time. When this action of the nominating com- mittee was mede known, Dr. King, who was Dr. Scott's associate in the obstetrical side of the hospital, resigned, and his place has been filled by the selection of Dr. Mo- ran. Everything is running along smoothly and I do not anticipate that the future will find it otherwise.” His Time Had Expired. Other members of the executive board of the Institution stated that the hospital was absolutely harmonious in all its depart- ments and that perfect harmony existed be- tween the medical board and the lay di- rectors of the hospital. In regard to the report that something unusual surrounds the non-election of Dr. Wilfred M. Barton to succeed himself as resident physician of the hospital, it was stated that the cus- tom has always been to follow the system of rotation in office in the place of the resi- dent physician, and this course was follow- ed in the present instance. Dr. Barton's time Fad expired and Dr. R. H. von Ez- dorf, who had‘been his first assistant, was promoted to be resident physician, while two other physicians who were chosen after competitive examination and nomi- nated by the medical"board have been ap- pointed first and second ussistants to Dr. yon Ezdorf. —— TO HAVE HEADQUARTERS HERE. Staff Captain Blanche Cox Moves Over From Baltimore. Staff Captain Blanche Cox, one of the famous women of the Salvation Army, has come to Washington. Hitherto Baltimore has been the district headquarters, but Staff Captain Cox so much prefers Wash- ington to Baltimore that she has persuaded Commander Booth to let her make this city the headquarters of this division. She is an Englishwoman of good family and educa- tion. Twelve years and a half ago, when she was just about to enter Gurton Col- lege at Cambridge, she was converted un- der the preaching of Mrs. Gen. Booth. She Was the first slum captain of the Salvation Army, and helped to inaugurate that de- partment of the army work, which is row sc famous. She also opened the army work in India, where she had a sunstroke, which made it necessary for her to be transferred to another country. She has been in Jan- ada and America a few years, and comes to Washington from a most successful campaign in Colorado. She was the first woman ever to speak in the Mormon Tem- ple in Salt Lake City, and at the close of her meeting seventy Mormons raised their hands for prayers. Staff Captain Cox is a most interesting and forcible speaker. She will be at the Salvation Army Hall Sunday afternoon and evening, and later will hold some special meetings in Masonic Temple. —_——__. AMUSEMENTS, Dr. Stafford's Lecture on “Hamlet.""—Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford’s lecture on “Hamlet,” which was delivered at Metzerott Music Hall last evening, was everything that was expected. It was his admirable lecture of last year repeated for the benefit of those who failed to obtain seats at that time, and, Judging from the number who were disap- pointed last evening, the lecture will again have to be repeated at no very distant day. The lecture was for the benefit of the Car- roll Institute, and Father Stafford was in- troduced to the audience by Mr. George Bogus, president of the institute. = Miss Yaw’s Concert.—Washington will have a chance tomorrow evening to pass judgment upon the singing of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the phenomenal Soprano, who, it is said, can sing E above high E, and sing it with sweetness and a true musical tone. Miss Yaw has received the most favorable press notices both in this country and Europe, and has captivated her hearcrs as much by her charming personality as by her voice. Miss Yaw sings in the lower register with the breadth of tone of a contralto, mounting higher and higher, until at last she attains a height to which no singer «-ver aspired before. Miss Yaw has been heard here before, but since then her voice has broadened and assumed more expression and swestness, so that it will be more like hearing a new singer than welcoming an old friend. Miss Yaw will be assisted by Maximilian Dick, a violinist of more than erdinary ability; Miss Georgiella Lay, pianist,-and the New York Philharmonic Club, Eugene Weimer, director. Seats for the concert are now on sale, —_-—_ Criminal Cases. An order was made yesterday by the Court in General Term authorizing Judge Bradley, in Circuit Court No. 1, to hear such criminal cases as may be assigned to him by the Criminal Courts, the petit jury in the Circuit Court to be employed in such cases. ——-._—_ All Kinds of Wet Weather Wearing apparel here.

N., in the course of which he contrasted the advantages enjoyed and ap- preciation shown the engineers of the pres- ent day with the manner in which the members of the craft were regarded a few years ago. Mr. Edwards’ remarks were enthusiastically applauded, as were also the speeches of Mr. Lephy of New York, Vice President Searey and retary Dord of the National Association and others. Several of the members of the local asso- ciation also entertained their guests with the telling of good stories, singing songs, eto. ~ is 1906 Sunderland Some of Those WhotAre Prominent in the Suffrage Mévement. Mrs. Some of Her Fellow Workers Hamm Talks «Interestingly of at the Comvention. A familiar face at the eonvention is Mar- gherita Arlina Hamm, editor of the wo- man’s department of the New York Mail and Express, of sPeterson’s and Arthur's magazines, and a regular correspondent of many great dailies, American and British. In speaking about the convention, she says; “& noteworthy feature of the suffrage movemént at present :1s the number of alumnae and professional women who are coming into its ranks .and taking part in the struggle. It is nd wonder as to the alumnae. College graduates, whether male or female,. are always enthusiastic and eager to become the champions of human- ity. It is different with the professional classes, who are-naturally conservative and averse to change. The ever-increasing list of women, clergymen, physicians, lawyers, writers, journalists and pedagogues who advocate the political equality of the sexes is not only an eloquent sign of the times, but also a strong presage of the speedy success of the suffrage movement. Of the present delegates, many have attained dis- tnction in various fields. “Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson, a Cali- fornia delegate, is famous as @ scholar and a philanthropist. She is believed to have been the first American woman to anpre- elate the educational value of sociology and to urge the additton of political science and economy, social science, statistics, pen- ology, finance and comparative religion to the college curriculum. She is also an ac- tive worker in the Hulk House movement, Chicago, and other systems of educating and ameliorating the poor and degraded. “The Rev. Anna Howard Shaw is. best known as a clergyman and orator of rare ability.- It is not generally known that she is a learned physician and a good lawyer also, She has studied for these professions and made a record higher than that of many men. Intellectually she stands in-the head rank not only of the convention, but of her sex in this country. “She is not the only one versed in law. Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell, the assistant attorney general of Montana, and Miss Julia Jenney af Syracuse, N. Y., are jur- ists of exceptional ability, as well as women of wide knowledge and ripe culture. “Of a different type is that beautiful daughter of Maine, Miss Elizabeth M. Yates. A college graduate, a professor and writer, she became a missionary and pass- ed many years in India, China and Japan. She studied hard in the far east, and fa- miliarized herself with Brahmanism, Budd- hism, Taolsm, Confucianism and Shintoo- ism, as well as with the history, language and literature of the eastern races. She is a great orientalist. “Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt is another in- stance of the highly trained intellect. Sie is a college graduate, a scientist and, it is said, an expert in civil and mining engi- neering. A clear thinker, ‘a polished writer and a natural orator, she has risen in a few years by her own merits to be one of the suffrage leaders of the land. Her train- irg, as welt as her aptitude, enables her to do more and better work than those less favored, while her energy and perseverance seem to be without a limait. “The medical professiom is well represent- ed by two of its best members, Dr. Mary Hussey of New Jersey and Dr. Cora 8. Eaton of North Dakotas Highly educate: read and traveled, they reinforce their pr fessional attainments. with that culture which distinguishes the great surgeon from the mere practitioner. “Literature and journadism have for their exponents such able women as Mrs. Clara B. Colby, Miss Elizabeth Curtis, daughter of the late George William Curtis, and Mrs. Florence Howe Hall,, daughter of Julia Ward Howe, the great poetess. Mrs. Colby and Mrs. Hall are also pleasing. and suc- cessful lecturers. “Other types of inteHleetual power and ac- tivity are afforded by @izs. Orra Langhorne of Virginia, who is‘ the head of the wo- man’s college movementiof that state; Miss Harriet Keyser of New York, ‘one of the founders of the C-vA. I. _L., or'church asso- clation for improving the+cendition of the laboring classes; Mrs. Hannah:J. Bailey of Maine, a leader in’ the Universal Peace Union and the National Council of Women; Mrs. Marianna W. Chapman of New York, president of the Brooklyn Woman's Club and founder or friend ofa score of other societies; Mrs. Mollister and Mrs. Bowers of Michigan, heads of the Muccabees, the largest woman's secret society in existence; Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery of Pennsylvania, a scholar, reformer and pPilanthropist.”’ ———— MISS ANTHONY'S HOPES. - She Thinks Reporters Know More About Women Than Formerly. Miss Anthony received a call at the Arno from Minister Pioda of Switzerland, who said “he came to pay his respects and tell her how much he admired her persever- ance.”” He also said they were much Interested in the “suffrage” question in Switzerland, and it would not be long before they took it up there. Miss Anthony said in discussing the sit- uation that the suffragists hoped great things from this convention. On the 28th they are to have a hearing before both the Senate and the House. The six Sena- tors from the states where suffrage has already been granted are, she sald, with them, both officially and _ intellectually. She found the greatest trouble was that each time she came to Congress-there were a rew set of men, who were like a set of school boys to her, for they had, practi- cally, to be educated up to: the question of suffrage for woman. She hoped, how- ever, good results would come from this meeting, not that she expected the bill to be passed this session, but it would be brought up for argument, which meant success in the near future, as it will edu- cate not only the statesmen but the public cn the question, and show that the young generation of both cultivated men and women are with them. Miss Anthony will act as chairman be- fore one committee and Rev. Anna Shaw before the other. There will be forty fe- male suffragists present also, from dif- ferent states, who will be women. of the present day. “I remember,” said Miss Anthony, “years ago when I came to Wash- ington in a brand-new silk gown made in latest fashion some of the reporters in speaking of me said I appeared in a faded alpaca gown. The reporters of the present day make no such mistakes. They can write a fashion article as well as their sister scribes and will have no cause for accusing the present suffragists of being behind times in attire, for some of our leading society women are with us. I am also gratified to find so many young men interested in the cause.’? —— iY Mechanic Lien. To enforce a mechaimte’s lien of $555 on part of lot 1, square<276, Wm. H. King, through Attorney E.

First Annual Banquet Proves a Big Succewsa. The members of Pressmen’s Council, No. 788, National Union, posed as hosts last evening and entertained a large number of invited guests at a banquet given on an elaborate scale at Freund's. The organiza- tion Is a youngster, having sprung into ex- istence September 12 last, but the jump em- braced such energy that the baby since then has been moving to the front right along with unusual success. New Year eve a minstrel entertainment and dance was attempted, and last evening marked the first annual banquet. It was 9 o'clock when the president, Mr. A. E. Sardo, led the way to the handsomely decorated tables, and, .after a few remarks, every- body was directed to enjoy himself, and it was apparent that the injunction was carried out. When cigars had been lighted those who Partic:pated in the minstrel performance repeated the numbers given at that time, and were rewarded with loud applause. In addition, speeches were made, recitations given, and general jollity reigned until near midnight, when the party adjourned. The success of the banquet was in large part due to the efforts of the committee, consisting of Messrs. J. J. Callahan, James A. McGrane, J, J. Conneily, J. M. Little and Finley S. Hayes.

THE LIST OF GOODS IN OUR LAST-DAY iG SALB BARGAINS ARE ACTUALLY GIVEN AWAY. 6TH Pai it KANN’S, 8TH MARKET SPACB. Pleasang The resident republicans from West Vir- ginia assembled at the Hotel Page last night to honor the!r representatives in Congress. It was a most pleasant affair throughout, and refiectedgreat credit upom the sons of the “Switzerland of America.” The guests were received by a committee, consisting of Messrs. W. L. Cole, Capt. Daniel Pipes, Daniel Mathews, C. L. Beatty, L. K. Deven- dorf and Col. J. F. Vinal. Prior to the ban- quet a reception was held in the parlors of the hotel, where an opportunity was afforded those present of getting acquainted and Swapping stories of their native heath. It was close on to 10 o'clock when the guests sat down to dinner. The banquet was held in the large dining hall of the hotel, and the tables were handsomely dec- orated. In the absence of the regular toast- master, Mr. C. M. Shinn undertook that important office, and filled it to the satisfac- tion of his friends. His response to the toast “Our Invited Guests” was a happy conceit, and his allusions to West Virginia and the great men she had produced was heartily encored, Senator Elkins made a strong response to the toast “West Virginia,” and Congress- man Blue told what the sons of the old state had done in the civil war. Congressman Miller responded to the toast of the fertile valleys of West Virginia and what they produce, and said: “‘We are not as large in area as Maine; our lands are not as fertile as those of Iowa; we are not so important politically as Ohio; we have not the financial wealth of New York; we have not as yet’a pronounced candidate for the presidency, yet we are able to present a fel- low citizen for that high office who is the peer of any man in any of the great states I have named.” This was a direct reference to Senator Elkins, and the latter smiled as the guests cheered. : Once again during the evening Senator Elkins was mentioned for the presidency. it was when Congressman Dolliver of Iowa spoke. He said if he couldn't get W. B. Al- son for President, he would be glad to see the distinguished Senator from West Vir- ginia get the honor, Other speeches were made by Congress- men Lacey, Dovener, Huling and Mr. F. H. McKee, Among those present were A. B. Smith, Dr. J. P. Miller, guest of Dr. Miller, W. L: Cole, J. Albert Shaffer, C. M. Shinn, Col. J. F. Vinal, Capt. Thos. H. McKee, Capt. Jas. M. Pipes, R.
