Cake Has Leased the Cape May Resort. Congress Hall at Cape May is probably as well known to residents of Washington as any of the local hotels. For over eighty years it has been a gathering place for Washingtonians during the summer months, and for nearly the entire period some mem- ber of the Cake family has managed it. Next season will be no exception to this rule, as Mr. Edward K. Cake, so well known in this city from his connection with the Hotel Normandie, and last season man- ager of the Stockton at Cape May, has se- cured a lease of the old place. A large sum of money will be spent in modernizing the well-known structure, and the new man- ager hopes and expects to bring back all the former attractions of the famous hall. The old-time orchestra concerts will be re- vived under the direction of Mr. Simon Hassler, and many other attractive feat- ures are promised. The hotel will open the latter part of June, and already extensive preparations are teing made fora big dem- enstration on the Fourth of July. aes Mayor Hooper's Veto Overruled. Baltimore city councils by a vote of 15 to @ passed last night over the mayor’s ve- to the ordinances depriving him of the power to appoint or remove municipal offi- cers.

As announced in The Star yesterday, the House passed the free library bill, after adopting an amendment saddling the whole expense of this munigipal object upon the District revenues. Mr. Hardy of Indiana made a vigorous speech in behalf of the bill. He sald: “I am heartily in favpr of the United States bearing its pro rata share with the District of Columbia in establishing a public li- brary in this great city, and if it could be made the largest library in the world I Would still vote for the proposition. The gentleman frem Vermont ir his argument a few moments ago said that*the people cf the United States were goltig to bed with the people of the District of Columbia. He can speak for himself, but he has no right to speak for the balance of the peo- ple of the United States. Mr. Chairman, gentlemen talk of opening up as a circulat- ing library the great Hbrary now in this Capitol. That is an absurd proposition, be- cause, as I understond it, every book that is copyrighted finds a resting place in that library, and there are thousands and hun- dreds of thousands of volumes there that can not be duplicated, that are out of print, and that never will be put in print again. Therefore, I say it would be absurd to con- template for one moment opening up that great library as a circulating library for the use of the people of this District. Fur- thermore, the location of it, where it is now and where it will be, is not suitable for the convenience of the toiling thou- sands of this District, who have access to Ebraries only after working hours, after 4 o'clock or after 6 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Chairman, I have had no protests from the state of Indiana aga‘nst this leg- islation—a state that has a public library in every school and in every township, sup- ported by the state, a state that has such @ large school furd on hand that the inter- se of conducting ols throuzhout the state. I am in ing, i ase, the peo- money favor, y ple’s money, in conjunciion of the people of this D: this the mest beautiful capi world. We have as much right to appropriate money for a public library in this city, where the people can feed their intellectual souls, as we have to appropriate money for the care of the public parks, which are the breath- ing places for the people of this city, and, Mr. Chairman, I repeat that I will cor ly vote for thi Con because he thor the rural dist is opposed the bill ht it imposed a tax upon ts. A Public Necessity. Mr. Wellington of Maryland, in replying to some insinuations by Mr. ‘Talbert, said: “As a member of this committee I wish to state to him that there is no selfishness in connection with the proposition pending here. I am a member of this committee, and I voice the sentiment of the commit- tee and the people of the District and of Washington tion that meets of all the peope of the 1 there is no such ‘st gentleman seems t here the re joners of the 1 ne triet of Columbia ‘avor of it. All recommend it, and all of them apply for this privileze. “Now, Mr. Chairman, a word in reference to another matter which is not personal. It has been said that this bill should pa if at all, with the amendment suggested here that the expen: all be paid exclu- sively from the revenues of the District of Columbia. 1 do not believe in doing it that way. If Congr 1 tract, as has been said, with the people of the District of Columbia and became lia- ble for one-half of the expense of the Dis- triet. Congress ought to carry out its agree- ment in good faith; is just as iauch a of this rict as th tem. It is an educational matter. in this country, must we depend on in the future for the perpetuation of our repub- lican system of government? The patriot- ism of the pe How will you make them patriot: By circulating knowledze among them. I want to educate our peo- ple. I want to educate them not only in the public schools, but in libraries through- out the country, and I want to give every man an opportunity, when he goes home at night, to be able to go to the library and take with him such books as he may desire o read for enlightenment or plea: in the evenin: at his home. “This library hed, as I under- stand it, for all the working people of this city. I think—and I believe it is the judg- ment of all men who give impartial con- sideration to the matter—that the great pital of the nation should not be without & library; further, I believe that such a library should be established here and conducted at the public expense. The circulating library in all of the great cities of this Union are so conducted, at the ex- perse of the state. “The gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Pow- ers) said that in his state they do nothing of the kind, and yet a moment after his colleague (Mr. Grout) rises to remind hi that in that very state of Vermont the! do exactly what is proposed by Congress to do in this case; that is to say, that when they establish public libraries in the towns, they fay one-half of the cost from the state treasury. I know that in the state of Maryland, and in all the school districts, doliar for dollar of the expenses incurred for libraries is paid by the state, and it is right that it should be done. I believe that Congress could do no better thing for the people of this country than to bear one-half of the small expense cup- posed to be incurred here. It may not amount to very much in the future. It is a small amount now. I am sure that co far as I have knowledge of the people of this District, and so far as the matter has come under the consideration of the committee on the District of Columbia, the people here will give such donations ard assistance to the library in future as will make the expense of maintaining it a small amount in the end. A Monicipal Institution. Mr. Grout of Vermont said: “If the ex- pense of this library is not municipal in character, then it should not be divided. But if municipal it should be divided. Kill the bill outright if you want io, but do not undertake by this niggardly, this in- direct, this cheeseparing method to kill it and then say you are simply trying to place the burden where it belongs. Is it a municipal expense? Here are tifty-eight or fifty-nine towns enumerated at random, including Boston, Mass.; Nashau, N.. H.; New York, San Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Newark, N. J., from the gentleman's own state, where $48,511 are appropriated annually for the public libraries. In all these and many o-her places it is borne as an item of municipal expense, the city making appropriations therefor, and it is a proper local :aunicipal expense. “If it is not a municipal expense, then put it out of this bill, and vote down the bill squarely, like men. That is the way to treat it. Do nct pretend to be carrywig out the spirit of the act of 1878 and yet run a knife under the fifth rib of that act every chance you get. This is a municipal expense, as I have given it from fifty-odd cities, which demonstrates the fact so that every man of common sense can see that it is a municipal expense. Why, you provide a jail, but have no library. ' Place a li- brary over opposite the jail. You license a dram shop and saloon, so that the vic- tims may go through the dram shop and saloon to the jail. Place a library over op- posite the dram shop and saloon. It is eccnomy for the people of the whole coun- try as well as for the people of the District to do this. Besides, to say that we have in this the capital city of the republic no free circulating library which the plain, common people can reach is a scandal upon the intelligence of the American peo- ple.” public ——+2+___ Ex-Representative Burleigh’s Death. W. A. Burleigh, ex-Congressman and northwestern politician, has died at Yank- ton, S. D., after a prolonged illness. He was the father of Receiver Burleigh of the Northern Pacific railroad, and during the early days was one of the best known characters in the west. He was Indian agent, Congressman, legislator, govern- ment contractor and steamboat owner on the Missouri river for a number of years. Several Important Gases Sent Oo to the Grand Inry. Business Men Favor the Improvement of the City Streets—Other Im- portant Local Note: ‘The mayor’s court was last night crowded to overflowing with spectators anxious to listen to the preliminary trial of William, alias “Buck,” Taylor, Ernest Travers, and John, alias “Red,” Martin, who are charged with breaking into a car of the Southern railway and stealing fifty-two pairs of shoes, valued at $90, and Hugh Strider was charged with having received fifteen pairs of the stolen shoes. Mr. Samuel G. Brent represented the prisoners, and Common- wealth Attorney Marbury appeared for the state. Lieut. Smith was the first witness called, and testified that Mr. Douglas, agent for the railroad company, had reported to him that the car had been broken open and that he had searched a number of houses for the stolen goods, and that he had found fifteen pairs of the shoes in the store of Mr. Hugh Strider. Officers Atkinson and Hall testified to the fact that they had assisted the lieutenant in searching Strider’s place, and that they had found the shoes. Joseph Gillmartin, a supposed pal of the three men, did not know anything about the robbery, although he had made several statements to the lieutenant and Sergeant Smith. Rebecca Penn was the most import- ant witness for the prosecution. She testi- fied that Gillmartin had told her that Travers, Taylor and Martin were going to steal a box of shoes from a Southern rail- road car, and that the prisoners wanted her to carry the shoes to Strider’s and sell them. Mr. Wm. McAren said that Taylor and Martin had tried to borrow a bag from him. but he declined to loan them one. He saw Mariin a short while afterward crawling out cf a window in his stable with a bag under his arm. Mr Frank Price said that he was at Mr. Strider’s store the night the shoes were stolen. Mr. Strider and himself went in the back yard to get a pitcher of water® and on the way back to the house he stum_ bled over a bag on the back porch, end upon taking it into the store found that it contained fifteen pairs of shoes. Mayor Thompson decided to send al! four of the prisoners on to the grand jury. Common- wealth Attorney Marbury then swore out a warrant for Gillmartin, char) ing him with perjury, and he was sent on. During the trial the great- est excitement was created by a white man named Frank, alias Sleep: Hayes and a negro boy named William Foster coming to blows in the court room. They were soon placed under arrest and the meyor fined Hayes $5 and dismissed the negro, as the evidence showed that Foster was not the cause of the fight. It is said that Hayes started the fight in order that the three prisoners could make their ¢s- cape during the excitement. Business Men's League. A regular meeting of the Business Men's League was held in their parlors at the corner of King and Washington streets, with President M. B. Harlow in the chair. The committee on strects submitted their report, which was read. It shows that the city is badly in need of a complete s: tem of sewerage, especialiy in hot weathe when the foul odor from the present se ers hangs over the ctiy. tI also spe: of the miserable condition of the unpa Streets and the rough and uneven sw of the paved streets. The committce gest borrowing $200,006 for the purpose cf improving the streets. The committee also suggest that an ordinance be pre- pared under the provision of the acts of assembly and submitted to city council providing for the submission of the que: tion of the insurance on bonds to the fre: hollers for their action on the first Tue day in June, 18%. The league ordere that 200 copies of the report be printed, and that next Monday night be set apart for the di: ion of the question. Police Court.

Preliminsry steps were taken last evening at a conference held at Dr. Robert Rey- burn’s office for the inauguration of a cam- paign which, it is said, is not to be al- lowed to lag in interest until the right of suffrage is granted to the people of the District of Columbia. ‘The meeting was convened in pursuance of invitations issued by Dr. Reyburn, and those who responded comprised well-known citizens, and representatives from the vari- ous labor bodies, the suffrage associations and single tax clubs of the District. The question of the desirability of having suffrage was thoroughly discussed, and Dr. Robert Reyburn and Mr. E. M. Blake were appointed a committee to wait on the Sen- ate District committee without unnecessary delay, and urge that a favorable report be made on Senator Gallinger’s bill now in the hands of the committee, and which is intended to give the people of the District an opportunity to express at the polls their sentiments as to whether or pot they want the voting privilege. : It was determined to proceed at as early a day as practicable after the excitement incident to tcday’s primary has subsided with the organization of ward and legis- lative district suffrage clubs, previous to which, however, arrangements will be made -for a public mass meeting to be held, which will be addressed by able and well- known public speakers. In speaking of the matter to a Star re- porter, Dr. Reyburn said that he was con- vinced that Senator Gallinger is heartily in favor of suffrage in the District of Co- lumbia, and will do all in his power to pass the bill .bove referred to. —_—_—s>—_ Manager McVicker Dead. J. H. MeVicker, the theatrical manager, is dead. Mr. McVicker was stricken with paralysis about a month ago, and had been lying at death’s door ever since.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN West Washi Objepts to Diecrimina- tion ia Price of Gas. Many Local Nétes Concerning People i and Things From Across Rock Creel —Several Deaths. The passage I the bill by the House which fixes the price of Washington gas at $1 and that of the Gecrgetown illuminant at $1.25 has raiced,quite a howl here. The people say that ft $ a case of secttonal leg- islation: Though the name of Georgetown still hangs to the place,the town has ceased to have an individual existence, and it is therefore thought unjust by the residents that discrimination should be made by the legislators in the matter of fixing the price of gas. There is much irdignant talk here. The discrimination is characterized as an out- rage. The Washington Gaslight Company and the Georgetown Company, it is claim- ed, are practically under one management. The largest stockholders in the Washington company are authoritatively reported to hold the controlling influence in the local corporation. Catholic Union.

Hough, a tin- ner, aged twenty-four, were arrested Sunday afternoon on the Conduit read by Policeman Hartman of the county mounted force. The young men had been out driving, and, after drinking enough at tre road houses to make them reckless, started to drive home at a good clip. Soon after crossing the District line Policeman Hartman spoke to them about driving too fast. After the youths thought they had gotten a geod distance from the bluecoat they urged the horse on faster than ever to make up for lost time. Suspecting such a move, the policeman had followed the buggy and overtook the fix. Leddon was holding the reins, while Hough was applying the whip, sparing no strength.

The tenth annual meeting of the Wom- en’s Baptist Missionary Association of the District of Columbia was held at the Cal- vary Baptist Church yesterday. ‘There were two meetings of the association, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and at 7:30 in the evening. The afternoon session was devoted to the routine of business. The annual election of officers was held and Mrs. J. D. Smith of the E Street Church was elected president; Miss York of the First Church, secretary; Miss Lacey of the Metropolitan Chufch, treasurer; Mrs. Dex- ter of Calvary Church was elected super- intendent of literature, and Mrs. Anderson of Grace Church, superintendent of junior work.
