All the furniture and fittings of the big bullcirg cn 14th street just above Park street, known as the Hammond Sanitarium, were sold at auction yesterday, the sale attractirg a considerable crowd. As a rule, the various articles went off at low prices. The routine of the sale was broken during the afternoon by an effort that was made to put a stop to the proceedings. A young man, who was said to represent the Hutch- inson faction in the company, read a legal paper to the crowd, advising any of them from makirg purchases, on the ground that the sale was illegal. The auctioneer re- fused to recognize his authority in the matter, as the sale had been properly ad- vertised for two weeks, and he claimed that any protest should have been made before or an injunction secured. The sale then went on without a break, untli all the con- tents of the building had been disposed of. RACE TRACK “BETTING The Opposition to the Bending Bartlett Bil, _ “e ‘T The Wureau of Rtforins and Local Pastors Enlisted Distviet Attorney Birnoy’s Viows of ihe Measare. as The opponents of the Bartlett racing bill are carrylag on an eefive campaiga against. it. They claim that it will open the way for a resumption of faceytrack betting in the District. Senator MeMillan was yesterd. noon waited upon by a commit Methodist Ministers’ city. Including Rev. Wilbur F. Crafis of the bureau of reforms, Rey. W. H. Chap- man and Rev. C. W. Baldwin, who requesi- ed that a hearing should be given to them and to other opponents of the bill. Senator McMillan said that the committee had al- ready reported the bill favorably, and it had been placed on the calendar, so that he could not well arrange for a hearing. Mr. Crafts asserted that the bill had heen reported too early, and that the committee did not fully understand its effect. Mr. McMillan questioned him on this point, and Mr. Crafts asserted that Senators Gallinger and Proctor had told him that they did not understand the effect of it. Mr. McMillan said that he would rot have approved the bill if he were not sure that it prevented bookmaking, pool selling, and gambling in every form. Mr. Crafts assured the Senator that the experience of the New York people, where a similar law has been in effect for a year, is that gam- Ming does go on under it. *’Mr. McMillan called attention to the fact that the district attorney, Mr. Birney, had approved of the law, but Mr, Crafts declared that Mr. Bir- uey had modified his first view, and new holds that the bill ‘would permit betting within the mile mit. Senator McMillan sald that if a meeting of the committee stould be held tomorrow, which is Good Friday, he would call the matter up and explain the situation, and berhaps arrange for the appointment of a subcommitiee to hear the pponents of the y after- of the Association of this measure, Action at the Metropolitan The Bartlett biil, ich provides for the appointment of a racing commission was considered at a meeting held last night at the Metropolitan M. E. Church. After cussion resolutions were adopted recit- bookmaking at races was promo- dishone ty and iinmor- v.

The pastor was point a del and i lett 1 requested to ap- nt the church Stat the hearing on the Bart- |, to be held Friday morning by the Digtrict committ _ District Attorney Birney’s Views. District Attorney Birney, who as prose- ecuting officer of the government insti- tuted and pressed the procesdings that drove the bookmaker nd raee wack gaim- blers out of the Distri Thomas, att » Was asked by Mr. ey for the District, for his views on the measure known as the Baetlett bil. Mr. Birney wrote a let- ter to Mr. Thomas, which has been referred to in The Star. In this letter he stated that there are in force in the, District. at pres- ent two principal laws, intended to sup- press the vice of gambling. One, the act of January 31, 188%, provides for the pun- ishment of any person who shall be a keeper of a place for gambling, or who shal! set up or keep any kind of gambling table or gambling deVice. ‘The second statute is that of 1891, which makes it un- lawful to bet, gamble or make bets. or pools in the cities of Washington and Georgetown, and within one mile of the boundary of cither. Mr. Birney states that cutside of the limit ef one mile the statutes do not prohibit in terms bookmaking or Fool selling, but cites that the Court of Appeals has held in the case of the United States against Miller that a person who blishes a place outside of the mile limit, at which pools are scld or hooks are mude, infringes the act of 18%}, and may be held accordingly. Mr.’ Birney says: “Section 9 of the proposed Bartlett. act will not, in my opinion, change existing law upon this subject, ‘The proviso to that section prohibits the occupation of any room, shed, booth or place for the purpose of betting, bookmak- ing or wagering, and provides’ that certain acts in such places not mow in terms pun- ishable shall be deemed to be bookmaking, or the use of gambling devices. This sec- tion will permit betting by persons who are not in occupation of any room, shed, booth or place for that purpose. But I am in- clined to the opinion that such persons could not now be successfully prosecuted, and that their action would not support an in- dictment. “In this opinion I am influenced in part by recent decisions of the English courts, to the effect that, under statutes providing against the keeping of a ‘place’ for betting or gambling, no offense is committed by per- sons who, having no particular place, such as a booth, or stand, or shed, make bets with other persons, thereby affirming the well-known rule in criminal law that statutes imposing penalties are not to be extended beyond their terms.” He suggests that section § of the bill should be amended by a provision for a spe- cific penalty by way of imprisonment or fine, as follows: “And upon conviction there- of shall pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, and be imprisoned not less than five days, nor more than ninety days, at the discretion of the court.”” Mr.Birney says he is informed that the bill is substantially the same as a statute now in force in New York, and under which racing has been conducted for nearly or quite a year. He is also informed that it has been found tp operate well; that it has greatly lessened® the vice of gambling at race tracks, and that the betting, which may yet be done under its provisions, has not become a nuisance. If this is the case, and since uniformity of statutes upon this, as upon other subjects, is extremely to he desired, it seems to -him that it is a strong argument in favor of: the passage of this bill without amendment, save in the par- ticular he has mentioned. He thinks well of all of the other provisions, since they seem to carefully guard against disorder, and leave discretion in the Commissioners to grant or refuse a license in any case. Mr. Birney subsequently modified his statements as to the effect of section 9, In a supplementary letter to Mr. Thomas he said: “My attention is senses oversight in mT 1 ny ‘le my letter of this date ng Senate bill 1866. In that part of tter in which I say that proposed act!will not, in my opin- jon, change existing law upon the subject, I mean to be understood that it will not change existing law without the mile limit from the cities of Washington and George- town. It will, however, ‘change existing law within that limit so far as to permit betting on any race course within that limit, such betting being now grohibited by the act of 1891, referred to in my letter.” “et Closing Exéreiges. Closing exercises Of the educational classes of the Y. M. GA: Wwere held last evening in the associdtlon rooms, with a full attendance of students and friends. The program included piang, solos by Chas. H. Chase and A. W. Bache, after which Mr. B. H. Warner delivered an address to those who had finished the year's course, giving them some sound advice on the shaping of their future careers. Mr. John Y. Freeman, chairman of the educational committce, also made an address, after which several of the instructors gave short talks, as follows: E..P. Hanna, instructor in shorthand; W. C. Henry, arithmetic and bookkeeping; H. O. Hine, algebra, geom- etry and English, and J. W. Crawford, typewriting. Certificates were awarded to those whose names .were announced as showing proficiency duving the year. Secretary W. N. Multer was present and gave a talk to the graduates, and at the close of the exercises held an informal re- ception. After the program had been con- cluded, the class rooms were thrown open so as to form a reception hall, where tables were spreatl and refreshments served. The public reception to Secretary Multer will be held in the Calvary Baptist Sun- day school house next Tuesday evening.

The adoption of a constitution and by- laws and the election of a board of di- rectors was the principal business transaci- ed at a rather lengthy meeting of the Ant!-Division Association for the Suppres- sion of Vice in the District of Columbia, held last evening In th rooms of the Wo- man’s Christian Temperance Union. After offering prayer, the chairman, Mr. W. L. Bruen, read letters favoring the objects of the organization from Mr. Clarence F. Norment, president of the Central National Bank; Rey. W. H. Gotwald, pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran Church; Mr. A. J. Bru of New York city, and Mr. George C. Henning, president of the Traders’ Nation- al Bank. Mr. Henning wrote: “I beg leave to refer you to the Kev. Sidney Smith on ‘The Society for the Prevention ef Vice.’ This was published in Black- waod, I think, about seventy-five years ago, ind can be found in any edition of his works. A republication would give some valuable points to the zealous reformers of the present day.” A suggestion that a vote of thanks be extended to Judge Thomas F. Miller of the Police Court for his conduct in the case of “Willie” Gilmore was not adopted, on the ground that a pubiic official should not be commended for doing his duty. However, thanks were formally extended for the use of the Metropolitan and the First Congregational churches, where mass meetings were recently held. Next in order was the election of a board of directors, which resulted in the choice of the following: W. L. Bruen, Dr. Wray Beattie, G. P. Hopkins, Rev. Dr. Skellenger, Rev. Dr. Luccock, Mrs. L. C. Pratt, Mr. C. B. Shafer, Mr. J. S. Blackford and’ Rev. Dr. Easton. The Constitution. ‘The constitution, which was adopted af- ter several readings, states that the objects of the association shall be to promote in all proper ways the enforcement of the criminal law, to stimulate public sentiment in favor of its execution by educating both men and women to a single standard of purity, to promote the eradication of the sources and causes of crime and vice, to disseminate information respecting them, to advise and assist the weak and helpless, and especially those under age, in obtaining the protection of the courts and of the law, to create 2 demand for the making of wholesome laws against vice, and to or- ganize public meetings for discussion upon such topics. The methods of cperation, it is provided, shall be to arouse a correct public opinion specting vice, to assist in the prosecu- tion of law-breakcrs, to disseminate in- formation by means of the press, by pam- phiets and leaflets; by public addresses and public meetings, and by all other feas- ible means to further methods recommend ed_by the society. : The directors are to be elected yearly. The annval meeting occurs the first. Wed- nesday in April, while special meetings will be called at the written request of five incorporators or three directors. The Members. The by-laws set forth that the association shall consist of annual members, life mem- bers and honorary members. Annual mem- bers shall be such as shall have been ap- proved by the board of directors, have sub- scribed to the constitution of the society, and shall have paid the annual subscription fee of one dollar. Twenty-five cents, dues payable quarterly thereafter in advance, will also be pledged by them. Life members shall be the charter mem- bers, such as shall have been approved by the board of directors, have subscribed to the constitution of the society, and have paid the sum of ten dollars. Honorary members shall be such persons as shall have merited the high approval of the board of directors and of the annual and life members of this society, and shall be elected at any annual meeting by a two- thirds vote of the members present, such name having been submitted as worthy of this honor, through the secretary, to every person having the right to vote thereupon, thirty days previous to such meeting. Other Matters, Mrs, Kate W. Barrett, the national or- ganizer of the Florence Crittenton Mission, stated that she wished it understood that perfect harmony prevails between the m sion and the Anti-Division Association, in spite of published statements to the con- trary. Mrs. Barrett expressed the hope that the association should declare itself opposed to sweeping raids in the Division, takin: several houses at once, but Mr. Bruen™ plied that he thought the sentiment of the organization to be in favor of raiding. These remarks brought to mind that a platform had not been declared, and, the: a committee was appointed, consisting of Mrs. Barrett, P. G. Hopkins and Dr. Wr tie, to draft a platform, conse policy, to be prese at its meeting Wedn in lay evening next. ————— J.C. Wiwon.

It is really one of the most seri- ous things, Fully nine-tenths of all the ordinary sickness of mankind is due to this one cause. If you pee an obstruc- tion in the gutter, it wil . water, and yiadually a mass of poison- ous, putrefying matter will accumulate. That is exactly what happens in the digestive organs when constipation be- gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and is forced into the blood. It goes all over the body and causes all sorts of symp- | toms. z few of these are dizziness, flatu- lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches, | loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath, distress after eating, biliousness and erup- tions of the skin. These things are un- pleasant, but they are not serious. The serious things come efterward. Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are for the cure of constipation. They are tiny, sugar- coated granules, easy to take, mild and efficient in their action. One is a gentle laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is nothing else in the world like them. There is nothing that takes their place. There is nothing ‘‘ just as good,” although lieing and unscrupulous druggists may sometimes tell you so for their own profit.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful 1 physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used und gives most general satisfaction. stop the flow of | | $ ( $ { $ ( SDL SII = a F and 11th Sts.
