Apropos the many fake stories going tha rounds of the newspapers about different Congressmen, there is a funny one about Representative Bailey, wkich seems to be faving widespread circulation. It has even called forth lengthy editorials from some newspapers, and the plain but neatly dressed Texan has been made to appear somewhat in the light of a dude. The story is published in the shape of an jnterview, in which Mr. Bailey talks about his man- ner of dress. It quotes him as sayiag that he dresses himself as he does “because it becomes him, and because it pleases his wife,” together with a lot of stuff which arouses the belligerent qualities of the ‘Texan whenover he reads it. A New York man sent one of these articles to Mr. Bailey a few days ago. The following answer was sent to the gentleman: “I have received your letter inquiring if I have ever made the statements attributed to me in a newspaper clipping which you inclose. It is probable that I have said some of the things which this article rep- resents me as saying, but there are some things in it which I did not say. It is cer- tain that I have never said that I wear particular kind of clothes ‘because they be- come me, and please my wife.’ The truth is, that I dress as I do simply because I am accustomed to it, and never give it 2. thought one way or the other. You will permit me to say, without intending to of- fend you, that I do not consider it any- body’s business how anybody else dresses, provided only they are clean and decent. I do not myself criticise any other man's ap- parel, and I think ‘the d—n fools ought to let mine alone.” E + e+____. His Will Filed.

Qu ALIFIED, HEROISM STREET EXTENSION | cLtaiMs 0} Life-Baving Med@s Gnly Granted on Oer- tain tions oo awe The Rescue Must He in the Vicinity Sofa Life-Saxing, Station—Pro- posed (Chunnser baw a ty Congress has been called upon to correct an apparent anomaly fh the laws in regard to the bestowal of -meddis for heroic efforts in rescuing the shipwrecked and saving persons from drowning. The powers of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury are seriously circumscribed at present by a recent con- struction of the statutes on the subject by the Attorney General.’ That official has given an opinion that the statutes authorizigg the awad of life-saving medals apply to the rescue of those persons only who, in the vicinity of a life-saving sta- tion, life-boat station or house of refuge, are in danger of drowning in any of the waters over which the United Stafes, by reason of their right to regulate foreign and interstate commerce, have jurisdiction, and that tne purpose of such statutes is to cause such medals to be bestowed upon the members, whether regular or volunteer, and whethe> permanent or temporary, of the life-saving crews, and that the terms “succoring the shipwrecked” and “saving persons from drowning,” employed in sec- tion 12, act approved June 18, 1878, au- thorizing the bestowel of life-saving medals of the second class, were intended to em- brace only those persons who were suffer- ing from the perils of the sea, either by actual shipwreck or from being upon or connected with any vessel.in distress. ~ Restricted to Official Life Savers. This construction of the laws restricts the award of life-saving medals to members of life-saving crews and to persons who may save life “in the vicinity of a life- saving station,” a limitation, which the treasury officials, including the general superintendent of the life-saving service, feel was not contemplated in the statutes bearing on the subject.” Life-saving crews are paid by the government for the per- formance of services for which the medals are awarded, and heretofore they shave only been so recognized in specially €neri- torious cases. Up to the receipt of the opinion in question the department has acted on the theory that medals might be awarded for any act of heroism looking to the saving of life in the jurisdictional waters of the United States, regardless of Person cr place, and many brave «itizens have been so honored. Could Not Have a Medal. A gentleman named Lynd recently en- dargered his life in a fruitless attempt to rescue a shipwrecked party during a storm on Lake Huron. It was admitted that his conduct merited official recognition, but it was found that a medal could not be awarded him for the reason that he was not a member of a life-saving crew and because the act he performed was not in the vicinity of a life-saving station. In fact, this was the case that drew forth the opinicn of the Attorney General above referred to. Senator McMillan of Michigan became in- terested in the case! and introduced a bill in the Senate to aménd the laws so as to extend their benefits, to citizens generally. This bill was referred to the committee on commerce and by that committee was re- ferred to Secretary Carlisle for an expres- sion of his views on'the subject. Pfoposed New Bill. Secretary Carlisle wrote to the commit- tee today adv@cating the passage of the bill in an amended form, so that it shail provide as follows “That so much of the acts relating to life-saving stations and the life-saving service, approved June 20, 1874; June 18, 1873, and May 4, 1882, as provide for the award of life-saving medals shall be construed so as to empower the Sec- retary of the Treasury to bestow such meduls upon persons hereafter making sig- nal exertions in rescuing and succoring the shipwrecked and saving persons from drownirg in the waters over which the United States has jurisdiction, whether said persons making such exertions were or were not members of 2 life-saving crew or whether or not such exertions were made in the vicinity of a life-saving sta- tion.” —EE——————— HIS OLD TRICKS. James Henderson in the Police Toils Once More. ams H. Henderson, alias Basil Jackson, colored, was at one time a clerk in the pen- sicn office. He is an expert penman, and this has been the means of getting him in trouble more than once. When he was first arres‘ed he was released under a suspen- sicn of sentence, later he was pardoned from the penitentiary, and now he is again in the toils. Henderson belongs in Stock- dale, Miss., where his wife and children ard his aged father live. When he went to Albany under 4 three years’ sentence he wrote letters to the President, in which he told of his family connections, and so touching were his appeals that a pardon Wes granted. The man who was thus fa- vered had promised to return to his wife and new-born child, but when he reached here he changed his mind, and stopped to get a new start in life. People who had been his friends during his better days contributed money for him, ard, not satisfied with this, it is alleged, he again resorted to forgery, and although he succeeded in getting the money, Detec- tive Lacy was equally successful in get- ting him. It is charged that he forged the name of Alexander W. Windley to a note for $90, and had it discountéd by Boyd McKnight for $75. Broker McKnight gave him a check for the money, and this he got casin- ed at Robinson, Chery & Co.'s clothing store, whcre he impersonated Windley, who is janitor of the Sumner school building. When arrested last night Detective Lacy found $42 on him. He was locked up, and will be given a hearing in the Police Court tomorrow. ——— NEW YORK AVENUE CHURCH. Annual Meeting Held Last Night— Change in the Musical Service. The annual meeting of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church was held last night and was largely attended. The report of the session was presented by Mr. 8S. L. Crissey, showing an encouraging spiritual and financial condition of affairs. The net increase of membership during the year ending February 29 was 37; total active membership at that ddte, 1,234. The total amount contributed members of the church to all objgits was nearly $2,300, an increase of about $2,000 over the contribu- tions of the previojis yéar. All the agencies of the church, including the Faith and Bethany missions, wepe reported to be flourishing; the Wimer's Home and For- eign Missionary societies have been consoli- dated into one organization, to be called the Women's Missionary =®ociety, under the presidency of Mrs,J, W. Foster. “Messrs. H. O. Claughton and N. A. Robbins were re- elected elders and-Messrs. C. E. Foster, J. R. Imbrie and Philip fF. Larner, deacons. Noble D. Larner, chairman of the board of trustees, read the report of that body, which included a statement comparing the financial and physital #atus of the church at the end of the year with that at the close of the year ended February 28, 1895, showing an improvement in both respects. The trustees whcse terms had expired were re-elected. The most interesting feature of the meet- ing was the consideration of the question of changing the form of the musical part of the worship. At present, the congrega- tion is led by a precentor; a desire had been expressed that a choir and leader should be substituted, and upon that the mem- bers of the session were equally divided, and there was considerable opposition to the change in the congregation. The mat- ter was referred to the corigregation, and Mr. Justice Harlan proposed an amendment to the by-laws, the effect of which, if adepted, would be to instruct the session to make the change. This was discussed for some time, and finally adopted by a vote of 98 to 40. It is not known when the session .will authorize the change to be made. (Continued from First Page.) 2 a eS within the District of Columbia, and at next Friday’s meeting the question of whether the Georgetown Gas Company should be favored with a higher price will be discussed. The Old Colored People’s Hame. Senate bill 886, introduced by Mr. Peffer to provide a home for aged and infirm colored people, was next taken up and dis- cussed. The bill proposes to use a fund now in hand amounting to about $250,000, for the purpose of establishing such a home, but the committee came to the con- clusion that it would not be wise or equit- able to use this money, which is held in the interest of the colored people of the whole country, to establish an institution located in this city, where it would benefit only a comparatively small number of them. The Senators believed that it would be better to distribute the money among the various educational institutions already established in different parts of, the country, and so expend it for educati8nal rather than char- itable purposes. It was thought that each community would probably be able to pro- vide for the care of the aged and infirm of this race. Accordingly, Senators Pritchard and Harris were directed to get up a Dill that will provide for the distribution of this fund in this manner for the benefit of the colored race in general. This, of course, disposes negatively of the proposition to establish an institution in this city. Employerw’ Liability. The bill introduced by Mr. Lodge relat- Ing to the Mability of employers .in the District to make compensation for personal injuries suffcred by employes in their serv- ice was referred to Senators Baker and Faulkner, with instructions to ascertain what the law now is in the District of Columbia on this subject and to report whether it should be changed or not. It was stated that the courts here have in times past made some very strong decis- ions in this line that have material- ly changed the common law, and it was decided to be a wise precaution to examine into the exact state of the law before acting upon this measure. Public Administrator Bill Rejected. The Senate bill introduced by Mr. Har- ris to provide for the appointment of a public administrator in the District was rejected by the committee, and a favor- able report was ordered to be made in its stead upon Senate bill 1703, introduced by Mr. McMillan at the request of the Dis- trict Commissioners, which amends section 416 of the Revised Statutes relating to the District, so as to turn into the funds of the Orphans’ Court all moneys left by per- sons dying intestate without heirs in the District. The surplus of this money over and above expenses is to be given to the fir-mer’s relief fund. The records of the court show that the moneys so left in the hands of the court amount to very little, being only in sums of a few dollars, and So it was not deemed advisable to create a new public office for such a small pur- Pose. Te Regulate Medical Colleges. A favorable report was ordered on Sen- ate bill 913, providing for the incorporation and regulation of inedical colleges in the District, formulated by the Commission- ers. Similar action was taken on the bill irtroduced-by Mr. Morrill, Senate 981, relat- ing to the testimony of physicians in the ccurts of the District, with the amendment to provide that ptysicians shall not be obliged to give any information of a con- fidential character. The bill for the relfef cf Emmart, Dunbar & Company, to pay for work done by that firm for the District, was favorably report- ed to tne Senate by the direction of the committee. The bill for the relief of Anton Gloetzner, to enable him to hold property. notwith- standing the law regarding the right of abens in this regard, was favorably acted upon. There was no opposition to the bill re- cently introduced at the request of the Dis- trict Commissioners defining the standard shape and size for dry measures to be used in the District, and the bill was reported favorably to the Senate. Senator Faulkner's amendment providing for the appointment of a reporter for the Court of Appeals of the District was passed by the committee and reported favorably to the Senate. 2+ DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. Court House Improvements. The Senate yesterday afternoon passed the bill appropriating $2,700 to alter certain Tooms in the court house in this city. Great Falls Water Rights. The District committee of the Senate this afternoon gave a hearing to Col. George B. Elliot, retired, on the subject of the bill providing for the taking of all the water rights at Great Falls by the government, now under consideration in committee. Col. Elliot has had long experience in this line, and he gave the committee some valuable information relating to the bill, which is now practically in shape for a’ favorable report to the Senate. The committee has great faith in Col. Elliot's judgment in all such matters, and his strong recommenda- tion in favor of the taking of all the water right to the falls has practically insured at least a favorable-report from the com- mittee on this measure, if not a favorable action by the Senate. ee CAPITOL ‘TOPICS. A Delegate for Alaska. The committee on territories of the House yesterday voted to report favorably to the House the bill introduced by Mr. Scranton of Pennsylvania for a delegate from Alas- ka. Under the bill the delegate is to hold his seat in Congress on the same terms as the delegate from other territories. The Maritime Canal Bill. A bill to incorporate the maritime canal of North America to connect the Hudson river and the great lakes was introduced yesterday in the Senate by Senator Hans- brough of North Dakota, and in the House by Representative Cooper of Wisconsin. The canal system for which the bill pro- vides includes canals from the head of tidewater navigation. on the Hudson to Lake Champlain; from the head of Lake St. Francis to the St. Lawrence river, above the long Sault rapids; from Lewiston on the Niagara river to a point on the river above the falls, and authority to deepen and widen the Champlain and Hudson canal is asked. ‘The channels are to be twenty feet deep, to permit two of the largest. vessels draw- ing twenty feet to pass, and the locks are to admit-vessels 550 feet long and sixty-five wide. The plans are to be approved by a board of five engineers appointed by the Secretary of War, the canal is to be under the control of the interstate: commerce commission, and the government is by the bill authorized to take possession of the property on one week’s notice by paying the value of the property. A Good Roads Hearing. The House committee on agriculture yes- terday gave a hearing on good roads, based on the bill introduced by Representative Charles W. Stone of Pennsylvania, creating a special commission on highways, whose éuty it should be to inquire generally how the government may further promote the improvement of highways. Representative Stone explained the bill. E. G. Harrison of New Jersey, representing the national league of good roads, set forth the im- portance of good material in road construc- tion. Mr. Samms of Maryland spoke of the wheelman’s interest in good roads. Prof. Holmes of North Carolina showed how the educational Interests would be benefited by good roads. H. W. Anderson, the secretary of the Virginia State Road Associatioh, and Sterling Elliott of Boston, representing the League of American Wheelmen, also spoke. Gen. Stone of the Agricultural Department ‘said hig bureau had sent out from the office of road inquiry 10,000 letters to the most intelligent and experienced farmers in the United States, and applied the data so obtained to the census returns. The re- Bult was to confirm the estimates of expetts that the total bad roads tax, direct and in- direct, exceeds $00,000,000 yearly. Such a tax, he said,approximated one-fourth of the home value of all farm products in the United States; but it went without saying that this burden was not all borne by the farmers. f ‘ 5 F ALL CONCERNEO|EMPEROR FREDERICK. Democrats Disoussing, the Significance of| He Qonferred a Distinguished Honor Their Convention. The Successfal Candidates Declared to Be for Free Silver When It Comes to a Choice. Like almost everything else, the result of the democratic convention yesterday strikes different people in different ways. The sound money members of the party here are apparently delighted over the action of the committee on resolutions In ignoring the financial qvesticn altogether, and seem to think that this was in the nature of a vic- tory for their faction in the party. On the other hand, the sdvccates of free silver de- clare that the silence of the convention on the subject is not to be taken as indicative of the approval of sound money claims. They say that the fact that no proposition whatever-was made to the committee on resolutions looking to the approval of the Present fi: anaial system of the government was proof positive that there was no hope for its securing any substantial support, and they further declare that they had long ago agreed that the silver question should be kept in the background in the conven- tion and the selection of delegates made the sole business to be considered. A Free Silver Delegation. Some of the bolder of the champions of the white metal declare that the deiega- tion elected to Chicago is composed of men who are willing and ready to vote for any Proposition which provides for the recogni- tion of silver as a money metal, while five out of the six are claimed to be in favor of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. These five are sald to be Messrs. Jordan, Boyle, Morgan, Killeen and Mattingly,while Mr. Holmead is claimed as a believer in bi- metallism under an increased ratio. There was considerable regret expressed this morning at the defeat of Mr. Forrest, and it transpired during the day that Mr. Boyle was unable to hold his delegates to the sup- Port of his Georgetown friend. It was stated that when Mr. Boyle heard the an- nouncement of the vote in the seventh dis- trict he went to Dr. Bently and begged him to change it to Mr. Forrest from Mr. Kil- leen. but that the delegation refused to listea to him. It was rumored today that many of the friends of Mr. Forrest who were influential in democratic affairs would add their forts to the attempt now being made to prevail upon the national convention to Chicago to ignore the recommendation of the national committee that six delegates be admitted from the District. Mr. For- rest, however, dces not countenance such a eee but the facts are stated, neverthe- jess, Mr. Killeen Supports Mr. Gardner. The election of Messrs. Holmead and the other four members of the combine and Mr. Killeen, it is claimed, pretty nearly as- sures Mr. Lawrence Gardner a place in the next democratic national committee as member from the District of Columbia. While the delegates will not talk for publi- cation on the subject, it is no agcret that they are in favcr of Mr. Gardner and that it was part of the combine's program to elect him to such a place. All doubts as to Mr. Killeen’s position on this important question were set at rest this morning when he gave Mr. Gardner his unsolicited promise that he would suppcrt him for the national committee. The effort which The Star has frequently mentioned as being made to influence the party leaders in the various states to work against the admis- sion of six votes from the District is still being exerted, and it was said today that it would be directed toward having only the two receiving the highest number of votes in the convention here admitted at Chicago. Mattingly and Morgan. Tnese two are Messrs. Mattingly and Morgan, both of whom are members of the combine, but neither of whom has been in politics long or substantially enough to make any very bitter enemies. It is be- lieved, too, that neither one of these gen- tlemen is particularly ardent ia his support of Mr. Gardner for national committeeman, and as the only thing the delegation to Chi- cago cau really accorplish so far as the District is concerned is the making of a member of that body, there will be lots of energy expended to carry out the program thus indicated. Well-informed democrats, however, do not admit that there is any possibility of the six delegates being re- fused seats. They say that if the conven- tion does not desire to give the District more than two votes it will still seat the delegation, allowing each member of it to cast one-third of a vote. This would still insure the continued control of the com- bine in all matters affecting the program it mapped out when first formed. Georgetown Democrats Are Angry. The defeat of Mr. Forrest is causing a gocd deal of comment among the George- town democrats. It was conceded by all the democrats of the city that this section of the District should have a representa- tive on the delegation, and Mr. Forrest was the choice for the office. Before the convention assembled it was pretty certain that Forrest would have been elected, enouga votes being promised to insure this in return for the support of the solid six votes from Georgetown. In Georgetown the claim is openly made that Forrest was knifed by his fricnds, and there is sincere regret at his defeat, as well as much in- dignation that the democrats of the West End have no representative on the ticket. ———— More About Marquette. To the Fditor of The Evening Star: In yesterday’s issue of The Star an article signed “T.,” claims that Marquette’s statue is as much entitled to a place in Statuary Hall in the Capitol, from Wisconsin, as is the statue of Roger Williams from Rhode Island; that Marquette as properly repre- resent Rhode Island; that Williams was a churchman, as® was Marquette; that Roger Williams was not a citizen of the state of Rhode Island. The fact is that Roger Williams’ statue was placed in the Capitol because of political services (although he have been a churchman also), he having founded the colony, the very foundation of the state, al- though not then called a state. Marquette rendered no services except to the Catholic Church; not political in any sense. After founding the colony. Roger Williams made it his home, and died there. The first settle- ment in Wisconsin was made before Mar- quette came to America. He came to Can- ada in 1665, established a mission (set up an altar for worship) at Mackinaw, Mich., af- terward went through Wisconsin, establish- ed another mission at Kaskaskia, in Illinois, returned to Michigan, where he died, near the site of Grand Rapids, and his remains Were afterward taken to Mackinaw. He was in America less than ten years, per- forming religious services only; never found- ed a colony or settlement anywhere. Statuary Hall has been given up to the placing of statucs of persons who rendered political services, not religious services (the word political is not here used in a partisan sense). The etatue of John er Charies Wes- ley would be as much out of place thers as that of Marquette. Church and state must be kept separate in order to avoid trouble, and ‘the Catholics should not try to mix them. I am n6t a member of any chureh, don’t attend any church, don’t belong to any secret order and only know one man who belongs to the A. P. A., but I am unal- terably opposed to placing the statue of any churchman in the Capitol, if his church work is the only thing for which he shoald be honored. I would oppose statues of Wes- ley, Phillips Brooks and others as earnest- ly as I oppose Marquette’s, and I believe the general public does so. Let the churches, and not the national government, honor the priests and preachers as they like! L. aS ay Marringe Licenses.

On a Great Scientist. It Was While Crown Prince of Germany. Honorary Member of the National So To attain to membership in the National Society of Germany is one of the greatest honors, as «it is also one of the highest ambitions, in medical science. The late Emperor Frederick, while Crown Prince of Germany, was him- self at the head of that distinguished society, which had on its membership roll some of the most learned and fa- mous men in all Europe. It was while at the head of the Na- tional Society that the Crown Prince conferred the title of honorary mem- ber of this famous association upon JOHANN HOFF, in recognition of the merits of the Genuine JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EXTRACT. This appointment was ®ut one of the many illustrations of the late Emperor’s interest in and admiration for all scientific research. In acknowledging the great and increasing merits of the JOHANN HOFF PREPARATION, he gave to that great nerve and nutritive tonic an official imperial indorse- ment, more important in its effect and more effectual than could pos- sibly come from almost any other source.

Senator Sherman concluded his speech on the Cuban resolution yesterday afternoon shortly after The Star’s report closed. He reiterated his belief that it was the duty of Congress to declare specifically that there is a war prevailing in Cuba, and to recognize the fact by declaring this bellig- erency, 80 as not to give Spain an advan- tage in our commerce over the Cubans. He did not believe that war would be the re- sult of such a declaration. There would be no occasion for it, for in taking this step we should be doing nothing that we ought not to do. the contrary this country had been very slow in doing what it ought to do, in the proper treatment of the struggling patriots in Cuba. “I respect Spain,” he concluded. “‘Centu- ries ago she Was the mcst powerful coun- try in Europe.. She,corarelled. not only the peninsula, but the Netherlands and vast possessions in the new world. All her wars, however, were conducted with a degree of violence never recognized as proper by English speaking people. Spain fought with a bitterness that has no equal. She has lost her high station in Europe. But I trust the time fs not far distant when the new blood in Spain will make her the second republic of Europe. The ten- dency is in that direction. There is a large and strong republican faction in Spain. If Spain were to renew again the treaty of “Zampa of 1878 and carry out the reforms then promised I dare say the people of Cuba would eagerly accept the terms. But failing to do that,my opinion is that the war should not end, that it should continue until independezce is achieved or home rule for the island is secured. If home rule were secured all the essentials of the greatest of republics would be obtained. Canada _is as much of a republic as the United States. Her government is her own. She is oniy bound to the home govern- ment by the ties of auld lang syne. This continent is the natural sofl of republic: We should encourage all who are strug- zling to join in the vast procession of the western hemisphere, which shall eventu- ally furnish the example for the rest of the civilized world.” At the conclusion of Mr. Sherman’s re- marks Mr. Morgan secured the floor, but ided immediately in order that the de- bate on the Du Pont election case could Proceed. Mr. Pritchard addressed the Sen- ate in advocacy of the majority report in favor of seating Mr. Du Pont. . ——————_- e +__ District Loses. A verdict was rendered this morning fn the case of Mrs. Louise Mohler, widow of Wm. H. Mohier, against the District, in favor of Mrs. Mohler, a: irding her the amount claimed by her, $1 30, with in- terest from April 26, 1893. Mr. Mohler in 1888 constructed sewers for the District, amounting to about $20,000, He agree@ it is said, to keep the work in repair for five years, the District reserving the svm of $1,741.30 to secure the making of such repairs. At the expiration of the five years. Mrs. Mohler demanded the sum, less $14, allowed for repairs. Payment wag refused, the District claiming that the work had proved defective. She thereupon sued the Di.trict, the case being tried be. fore Juige Cole yesterday afternoon. The District failed to set up go00d defense, and this morning the above verdict was rendered. Messrs. Samuel Maddox and Henry E. Davis represented Mrs. Mohler, The District will probably note an appeal to the Court of Appeals. A Trip Up the Rhine. Dr. Griffin of the Catholic University de- liverad one of the most enjoyable lectured of the winter course at the Holy Crosq Academy yesterday. His subject was a trip up the Rhine, and the pictures which were painted by the speaker will linger a great while in the ds of those who heard the iecture. All the places of interest wera pointed out during the trip and a large au- dience followed every point with close at- tention. DON’T POISON YOURSELF Food is.
