After a1 absence of about an hour, the in the case of James Brown, charged h the murder of John Henry Brown near and © streets the 26th of last August, vned a verdict, shortly after 4 o'clock day afternoon, holding the prisoner of manslaughter. Brown received verdict with evident relief and satisfac- tion, and was very profuse with thanks to members of the jury. It is understood on the first baliot the jury stood nine for manslaughter and three for murder. Assistant Distriet Attorney Yeffords moved t sentence be imposed at once, but, upon request of Brown's counsel, Judge Cole erred sentence, remanding the prisoner to jail. The court remarxed that the man Was a rather lucky one, and from that re- mark it is presumed that he will give own the extreme penalty, ten years in the penitentiary. ——_. An Eye-Opener on Suffrage.

The last few however, we have had an object les- and I deem it proper to announce a of heart on the question. A large reportion of these, who, !f given the ballot, Would be active in local politics, seem no » fitted for the responsibilities of Ameri- ship than so many baboons, and want no more of it for about come. And I happen to know that I am not the only one who has lately come to this conclusion. AUGUST DONATH. ——__ The Golden Cross.

BOBBIE BURNS’ ‘BIRTHDAY: The Oaledonian Olub’s Banquet in Honor of the Day. ~ Song, Feast, Mirth and Eloquence Mark a Loyal Tribute to the Poet. The banquet of the Caledonian Club at Reuter’s Hotel last night was a merry and mellow affair, participated in by scores of jolly good fellows from Scotia. The pro- gram for the evening abounded in spirited toasts ard ringing songs, while the feast embreced a long and most toothsome cal- endar of subsistence. Dr. Thomas Miller graced the office of toastmaster, and there were speeches, bright, witty, grave, elo- quent and soul stirring, on a varied list of sentiments. The evening opened with a general toast to “Bobbie” Burns, drunk by the whole company standing. Rev. Thomas Chalmers Easton responded to “The day we celebrate” most eloquently; Duncan Mc- Farland spcke of “Our adopted country: Gen. Henderson of Iowa of “Our guest: “Scottie” Smith of “The land we left;’ W. M. Somerville,““The President; Charles F. Benjamin of St. George’s Society, on “The queen; William A.

Mr. Black's “There Was a Lad Was Born in Kyle,” Mr. Robson's “Bonnie Scotch This- tle’ and Mr. Taylor’s “Bairnies Cuddle Doon" were especially fine, and were greet- ed with loud applause. Clausman Black also read an original poem in tribute to Burns. At the close of the banquet, when the hours were small and of no account, the clansmen, rising and joining hands, sang with tremendous force and swing the fa- miliar Ines and melody of “Auld Lang Syne,” and the gathering dispersed. a A. ENTERTAINMENTS. YY. M. C. A Lecture on Venezuela by Mr. Curtis Last Night. A lecture on “Venezuela” was delivered at the Y. M. C. A. rooms last evening by Mr. William Elroy Curtis, formerly presi- dent of the bureau of American republics, and a well-known newspaper correspond- ent, the parlor being crowded by an en- thusiastic and appreciative audience. The lecture was illustrated by means of hand- scme stereopticon views, showing portions of the country in dispute, while a map was thrown upon the screen to enable the speaker to point out the various boundary res. Mr. Curtis said that England never made a claim to this territory, a portion of which is said to be the richest in mineral and metal deposits on the continent, prior to 1850, when gold was discovered, and that Great Britain was no more entitled to it than it was to Governor's Island, New York harbor. The lecture was delivered in a forceful manner, and the chief points were clearly shown.

Walter Humphrey, B. J. Wrightman, R. A. Smith, G. A. Camp, Miss Grace Alischu, Miss An- rie Forbes, Mr. Von Boeckmann, Charles H,. Chase. Mr. Frank G.

Scott of 508 Sumner avenue rothwest writes to The Star, disclaiming that he said at a republican mass meeting that he favored Perry Carson for delegate because “he is of a good solid color.” Mr. Scott says he thinks the color of a man “should not enter into his fitness to hold any position.” He declares, further, that he supports Col. Carson “because of his ster- ling qualities of manhood, his unapproach- able character, and unfailing devotion to his people's interests.”” CITY ITEMS. The Washington, Sanitarium.
