At Will Not Affect the Prices of Armor Pinte. ‘There has been some talk among well- posted Congressmen to the effect that the organization of the big steel trust might affect to a large extent the bids on the new warships for which Congress is about to provide, and@ that it might even prevent the building of four ships as row contem- plated. Talking on the subject today, a New York representative said to a Star reporter that the Navy Department had looked into this phase of the qu>stion and had ob- tained promises from the -representatives of the companies making up the trust that there wouid be no increase in the price of armor plate where the government was foncerned. The department also obtained favorable concessions in the way of cheap- er prices for armor. The fear was that the trust would be able to “do” the government for thou- sands of dollars, and go to the extent, as stated, of seriously standing in the way of the building of four new ships. The fore- sight of the Navy Department in obtain- ing concessions and in looking into the sub- Ject in advance is commended. The trust people, however, are said to have realized that if they had advanced the price of armor plate on the govern- ment there would at once have been a big demand for the establishment of an armor plate plant by the government. The de- mand might have become a reality and the trust would have found itself badly crip- pled. This is probably why the trust made concessions to the government, it is thought. —-e-—__—___ LIEUT.

WORLDS UNION GATHERING Many Simuitaneous Meetings Are Provided for by Mr. Baer. DENOMINATIONAL RALLI ES There was received at Christian En- deavor headquarters this morning the first definite information regarding the program to be carried out during the fifteenth in- ternational convention, the sessions of which will be held here in July next. it is yet too soon to have completed the minute details for the meetings, which will extend over five days, but the general plan is outlined and the character of the serv- ices which are to be held at the different sessions has been decided upon. Already there are arranged for the con- vention fully three hundred meetings of all kinds. These will be held in the three mammoth tents to be erected on the White lot, in Central Hall, corner of 9th and B streets, over the market, and in twenty or thirty of the largest and most centrally located churches in the city. In addition, there will be numerous evangelistic serv- ices in all parts of the city, conducted by the delegates themselves. Denominational rallies and committee conferences will take up three sessions, and with such a large number of services being held simulta- neously the significance of the remark that the approaching gathering will be a “ccnvention of conventions” can better be realized. In connection with the fifteenth interna- ticnal Christian Endeavor convention Weshington will have the honor of being the meeting place of the first annual con- vention of the World’s Union of Christian Erdeavor, the organization of which was effected in Boston last July. One feature of the program wil! be es- pecially appreciated by the citizens of Washington and the members of the local Endeavor societies. Heretofore such a multitude of delegates and visitors has swarmed to a convention city that the halls, tents and other meeting places could nardly accommodate such crowds, and the residents of the entertaining city had the smallest possible chance of securing ad- mission to the meetings. But in arranging for the convention this year such a shortcoming has been reme- died, and special services for Washing- tonians, from which all visiting delegates will be excluded, have been arranged. The information as to program plans was received this morning by Mr. John B. Sie- n.an, jr., chairman of the press committee of the committee of "96, and was in the form of a letter from Mr. John Willis Baer, gen- eral secretary of the United Society in Boston. In his letter Mr. Baer says: Outline of Program. “The fifteenth international Christian En- deavor convention will open in Washing- ton, D. C., Wednesday evening, July 8, with twenty-two meetings in twenty-two of the largest churches in the city. These opening meetings this year will be even more care- fully planned than ever before, and the ex- cursion managers will do well to time their arrival in Washington so as to give their delegations ample time to ‘unpack and wash up’ before the hour for beginning the pro- gram. “Thursday morning, and every morning throughout the convention season, there will be held at 6:30 the usual carly morning Erayer meetings in twenty or thirty of the churches. “At 9:30 Thursday morning will be held the first sessions in the three large tents— Tent Washington, Tent Endeavor, Tent Williston. Besides the usual opening ex- addresses of welcome, Secretasy annual report and the presentation of state banners, President Clark will de- liver his annual address. “The first of the derominational rallies (for this year there are to be two afternoons given up to these rallies) will be held Thurs- dey afternoen in the churches. The three large tents will be use@ by the: Presby- terians, the Congregationalists and the Bap- ists. “Thursday night the general topic for all the meetings is ‘Christian Citizenship.” In addition to the three tents, Central Hall and five or six of the largest churches of the will be used for these meetings. The topic for the next day, Friday, is ‘Saved to Serve.” The morning meetings will be held in the three tents. The prac- tical committee conferences will be held in the churches In the afternoon. In the even- irg cne of the tents will be given over to an evangelistic meeting for the citizens of Washington; and in the other two tents, Central Hall and six churches will be es- Decially attractive programs for Endeavor- ers. “Saturday morning at 9:30 will he held the first great out-door praise service at the Washington mcnument. Then there will be a march up Pennsylvania avenue to the Cavitol, when it is hoped a brief address will be given from the steps of the seat of government. The afternoon is to be given up to sightseeing. At 5:30 another out-, door sqng service will be held, and the evening will be given up to receptions in the churches and to state rallies. “The juniors’ day is Saturday. There will be held in one of the churches an early morning prayer meeting. This is the first time an early morning prayer meeting has been planned for the juniors. Their annual rally will be held Saturday afternoon in Tent Washington. “Saturday evening, while the Endeavorers are in attendance upon their state railies and receptions, in the three tents will be held meetings for citizens only. The speak- ers will be the trustees of the United So- ciety and leading evangelists. “The tents will be closed Sunday morn- ing, and all will attend the Sunday schools and regular church services. In the after- noon, in one tent, will be held an evan- gelistic meeting, and in the other two and in many churches will be denominational missionary rallies, in charge of the chair- men of the derominational rallies. This is a new feature, and one that we believe will prove to be a great success. In Central Hall, on Sunday afternoon, a meeting de- voted wholly to the question of the Amer- ican Sunday will be arranged. The tents will be closed in the evening, and the regu- lar church services will he attended. “Monday morning will be given over to the World's Unien of Christian Endeavor for its first annual convention, the after- noon to excursions, and in the evening the convention will close with the sermons and usual consecration services in each of the three tents, Central Hall, and five or six large churches.” Several New Features. It will be noticed that the program, as outlined in Mr. Baer’s letter, contains sev- eral new features, and, besides the relig- fous services, gives the delegates an op- portunity for sightseeing and excursions as well as for the state rallies and recep- tions by tocai churches, which will ve held Saturday evening. —_--—. OLEOMARGARINE CASES. The Defendants File Demurrers te the E Indictments. Messrs. Henry E. Davis and Jere M. Wil- son, counsel for Wilkes C. Prather, Thomas H. Pickford, William B. Matthews and Clar- ence E. Fowler, indicted last December for violating the oleomargerine law, today filed demurrers to the indictments. The demur- rers charge that the indictments are fatally defective because, first, that they are not sufficient in law; second, that the act under which they are framed is unconstitutional; third, that it is not within the constitutional power of Congress to delegate to the com- missioner of internal revenue, or the Sec- retary of the Treasury, or any other person, the authority or power to determine what acts shall be criminal, and, fourth, that said act does not define what acts done or omit- ted shall constitute a criminal offenser Because of the illness of Mr. Davis, Judge Cole postponed the consideration of thé mat- ter until next Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Should Judge Cole then overrule the demurrers, it Is the intention of District Attorney Birney to call the cases for trial the next morning in Criminal Court No. 1. It is understood that similar objections to the indictments will be made by all the other parties indicted for this alleged offense. THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1896—TWELVE PAGES. A FORGIVING WIFE Found Her Husband Here, bat Did Not Punish Him Woman His Wife—Scene at Head- peinteseeens aeesr ea Cornelius Teehan, who has lived in this world nearly fifty years, has played a double game of love, so it is charged, for two years, and this morring he turned deathly pale when he met in Inspector Hollinber- ger’s room the woman whom he had prom- ised to love, honor, protect and keep. He had not kept these promises, so she charged, and she had come more than 800 miles to find him and bring about a settle- ment. So badly frightened was the hus- band that ho was willing to agree to any terms to prevent a criminal prosecution for an elieged violation of the Edmunds law. Two we-ks ago Inspector Hollinberger received a letter from the chief of police of Chicago making inquiries concerning Tee- han, who had left there about two years ago. As the Commissioners want this class of cases attended to by the men in the pre- cincts, and not by the members of the de- tective corps, Precinct Detective McGlue was called in. He was selected for the rea- son that “Mr. Teehan and his wife” lived in hie precinct, at No. 624 22d street. The man was employed in a local tea store. The precinct detective soon learned the facts in the case. Teehan was living at the addres mentioned, and with him was the woman whom he intrcduced as his wife. They lived in the house of the so-called wife’s parents, “Mrs. Techan” having been a@ widow named Ida Myers. ‘Whether or not they had been married according to the laws of the land the police Go not know, but they think they were married, and that the lady is an innocent victim. She is prominent in church work, and it is said that he has also been identi- fied in the church. This information was sent to the Chicago Police, and Friday the n.ah’s Chicago wife came here and saw Inspector Hollinberger. She did not go near her husband, for fear he would become frightened and leave, but when she had obtained the necessary proof, as she believed, she called at the Pelice Court and swore ovt a warrant charging him with the offense stated. Her husband had ret Widow Myers et the world's fair, so she claimed, and had said he was a widower. He was a gcod salesman, and so when he came here he ex- rerienced no trouble in getting a position. When the warrant had been sworn out Mrs. Teehan seated herself in the office of Inspector Hollinberger, and there awaited the coming, in charge of an officer, the man who, she charged, had deserted her fer another. In Gwe course of time he appeared, and, as Inspector Hollinberger put it, he turned as white as a sheet when his eyes fell upon his wife. There was not that outward manifestation of love which usually marks @ meeting after such a long absence, but the woman's tongue came down upon her husbend, and rattled off questions and statements which made him rather uncom- fertable. But behind it all was a spark of love in her heart which even the husband's con- duct had not extinguished. She did not want him punished. To send him to prison she realized would perhaps humiliate him and it might also punish him, but this she did not want done. She was willing to forgive and forget if he would only forsake the.one with whom he had been living and return to the one of his choice in his younger days. He was willing to.compromise upon any terms. He realized only too well what the issuance of @ warrant meant, and he did not want to go to jail. Finally the husband and wife reached an understanding, and *the officer went with them to the office of Mr. Birney, the prose- cuting attorney. There the facts in the case were told and the man repeated the promises he had made when in Insptctor Hollinberger’s room. Mr. Birney listened attentively to what was said, and at first he preferred to have the case settled in court, but finally, when he could no longer resist the wife’s en- treaties, he consented that a nolle pros. should be entered in the case and the man and wife be reunited. Mrs. Teehan wanted to return to Chicago, but the husband objected, and she ex- pressed a willingness to remain here with him. The Washington Wife. ‘This afternoon Teehan’s Washington wife called at headquarters, and nearly fainted when she heard of the man’s conduct. She says she was married to Teehan in this city, but does not want to prosecute hin, She has a marriage certificate. ‘The police, however, have beerr ordered to rearrest him, and a charge of bigamy may be preferred. TO PREVENT SMALLPOX. ppt Steambonts to Be Vaccinated. The city of New Orleans and other south- ern river ports have annually suffered se- verely from smallpox, the scourge being carried up and down the stream bv the crews of the boats that ply for traffic along the hundreds of miles of that river and its tributaries. The marine hospital service last season endeavored to check this spread of the disease, and this spring, in anticipation of the opening of the ac- tive navigation of the river, Surgeon Hen- ry W. Sawtelle, in charge of the New Or- leans district, asked Surgeon General Wy- man for authority to take the necessary steps. This being promptly granted, Dr. Sawtelle issued a circular to the masters, agents and owners of Mississippi river steamboats, in which he said: “In view of the continued prevalence of smallpox in this city and the surround- ing country and the danger of carrying the germs of the disease from one port to another on river steamboats, by direction of the surgeon general of the service, it is Proposed to vaccinate the officers and crews of outgoing steamers who are not protect- ed by a recent succassftil vaccination or by a previous attack of the disease. A cer- tificate of vaccination will be given to each man vaccinated, and to avoid the possibility of quarantine restrictions at various ports on the rivers, it is recom- mended that no person he employed cn a river boat unless he produces a certificate of vaccination. Vaccinations will be made at the marine hospital office, custom house, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., and on board the steamers, if practicable, before sail? ing. With your co-operation, as suggested, it is believed that the work of vaccination as outlined will prove to be a valuable ald to the local health authorities in their efforts to suppress a loathsome disease.” Promptly a reply was received from Chas. P. Truslaw, president of the Steamboat Captains and Owners’ Exci ing that the organization had unanimously agreed that no men should be shipped on river boats who could noi show certificates of vaccination. Consequently, Surgeon Sawtelle has begun the work, and it is hoped that the rate of smallpox cases in tha: section will be ma- terially reduced this season. —_+e+____ Anacostia Good Templars. At the meeting of Anacostia Lodge, No. 4, Independent Order of Good Templars, sev- eral evenings since, arrangements were made in reference to making the social and public meeting of the Icdge on the 15th instant a successful affair. Mr. Maurice E. Arneld, captain of eompany B of the competitive drill battalion of the lodge, is in charge of the arrangements, which assures its success. Much pleasure was evinced by the members upon learning that Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, pastor of the Anacostia Bap- tist Church, would deliver a sermon to the order, on the 12th instant, and a large dele- gation from sister lodges in the city are ex- pected to be present on that occasion with Anacostia Lodge. After the business ses- ston, the lodge was addressed by Dr. George W. Fisher, the veteran temperance worker of Anacostia, and also by other members of the lodge. ee Florida Filibusters Intercepted. The American schooner Martha, which left Key West, Fla., Tuesday night with an expedition bound for Cuba, returned yesterday with the entire party, after hay- ing met Spanish cruisers several times and barely escaping capture in Cuban waters. The party consisted of fifteen, five Ameri- cans and ten Cubans, LAST R ee ee Impressive Funeral Services Over the Late Dr. Addison, Bishop Satterlee Conducted the Beau- tifal Church P: ljomered by the Colonization Society. ‘The funerai services over the body of Rev. Thomas G. Addison, who for twenty- nine years was the honored rector of Trin- ity P. E. Church, were held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. The church was filled with the members of the parish and hundreds of the friends of the family. Bhortly after noon today the remains were taken from the rectory, 219 C street, which is next door to the church, to the parish hall, adjoining the church on the north. There in a large room on the lower ficor the body lay in state for a couple of hours. It was viewed by a large throng, which had begun to gather even before the doors were opened. The floral “remem- brances were unusually numerous and hendsome. For the most part they came from personal friends and from church so- cieties, and all day long they were pouring into the hall in an almost unbroken Line. All, with the exception of those that were placed upon the casket, were banked around the chancel of the church, and made a beau- tiful display. Within the chancel the seat by the altar which Dr. Addison used for so many years was heavily draped in black, as was also the rector’s pew. At the hour set for the funeral the line was formed in the parish hall and proceed- ed through the connecting door into the main edifice, and then up the center aizle. ‘The line was headed by the vested cholr of forty male and female voices singing as a processional the hymn, “Hark, Hark, My Soul.” As they approached the chancel Bishop Satterlee, who conducted the serv- ice, spoke the opening words of the im- pressive and beautiful form used in the Episcopal Church. Bishop Satterlee was assisted by Bishop Paret of the diocese of Maryland, who was a life-long friend of Dr. Addison's, and by Rev. Dr. A. R. Stuart, rector of Christ Church, George- town; Rev. Gilbert F. Williams, rector of Christ Church, Navy Yard, and Rev. Dr. J. B. Perry, rector of St. Andrew's. Rev. Dr. John H. Elliott, the president of the standing committee, and Rev. A. M. Rich, the assistant rector of Trinity, were also within the chancel rail. ‘The Pallbearers. Dr. Addison was a memter of the stand- Ing committee of the new diocese of Washington, and the pallbesrers at the funeral today were his late associates on that committee, Rev. Dr. Elliott, Rev. Dr. R. H. McKim, Rev. Alfred Harding, Rev. William H. Laird, Rev. Dr. Perry and Rev. Dr. Mackay-Siaith, together with Mr. J. O. Wilson ard Mr. Reginald Fendall, repre- senting the American Colonization Society, of which Dr. Addison was long a member. The active pallbearers were the vestrymen of Trinity Church, Dr. J. W. Bulkiey, Dr. R. A. Foster, Theodore O. Ebaugh, William A. Meloy, Henry A. Lockwood, Corbin Thompson, James E. Bell, George E. Davis, Olinus Smith and George Watts. The ush- ers at the church were all members cf St. Andrew's Brotherhood, which also furnish- ed the guard of honor while the boly lay in state. Bishop Satterlee was in New York yesterday, and preached at Calvary Church. He was desirous of peing present at the funeral of an old friend of kis, which tcok place in thai city this morning, but he felt that his duty lay with the new diocese, and he came over in time to be present at the funeral service this afternoon to honor the memory of one of the oldest and best loved Episcopal ministers in the city. Al- most all of the local ministers attended the funeral this afternoon, many of them in the vestments of their office. Impressive Music. During the service, the choir sang the burial anthera, “Lord, Let Me Know My Eni,” aml the hynm, “Just As I Am.” As the funeral procesSfon left the church they sang. “Asleep in Jesus.’ The intermeat will be at Oak Hill cemetery, and at the grave the brief cominitiai service will be read and the choir will sing ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.”* Colenization Society. Dr. Addison was for eighteen years a member of the executive committee of the American Colonization Society. At a meet- Ing of the committee held Saturday reso- lutions were adopted expressing the so- clety’s loss in Dr. Addison’s death, and ex- tending sympathy to the bereaved. family. In the course of the resolutions the com- mittee said that in their long association with Dr. Addison, “through many phases of historic interest and grave responsibility in the building up of the Liberian republic on the shores of a distant continent, they found fn him a noble Christian minister, a wise counsellor, an earnest advocate, ‘an ardent friend, a genial companion and a courteous gentleman, ever faithful at the post of duty, ever ready to devote his wide experience, his intrepid faith and stirring eloquence to the sacred cause in which he had enlisted.” The committee attended the funeral in a body. Dr. Addison was also a Mason, and a number of his associates in that organ- ization were present this afternoon, al- though they took no active part in the ser- vice. ——.__. Hotel Arrivals. Ebbitt—H.

ESTING PLACE|SENATE REORGANIZATION How Farther Off Than Ever From the But- ler-Pritohard Ooolnesa, Ome Charge Against the Republicans Made in Mr. Butler's First Circular —Present Unequal Distribution. The prospective reorganization of the United States Senate is seriously by the coolness that has arisen between Senatora Marion Butler. and Jeter Connelly Pritchard of North Carclina. It is well known to every republican Sen- ator that the reorganization of the Senate Eas not been effected because of a lack of two votes. If these votes could be secured, the. Senate could be reorganized and the re- Dublicans could name about S00 employes. The reorganization ticket approved by the Tepublicans comprises the names of Shaw of Washington, Senator Wilson's candidate for the secretaryship, and Grant of North Carolina, the candidate of Senator Pritch- ard, for the position of sergeant-at-arms, and by these two officers all the minor Places in the Senate would be filled. But little has been said or done during the last few weeks by the republicans looking to re- organization, but efforts have been quietly going on looking to this end. The Two Lacking Votes. Two men have been looked to for the two lacking votes, and one of these two men was Marion Butler, whose close relations with Senator Pritchard has made it seem probable that he would be prevailed upon to cast his vote for reorganization with the republicans. Senator Pritchard has been relied upon to deliver this vote, but now the North Carolina Senators scarcely nod their heads in recognition as they meet in the Senate, because of the strained relations brought about by Mr. Butler’s course in ad- dressing a circular letter to his followers, advising them not to vote for any one for the senatorship who will not pledge himself to give his support to no one for the presi- dency who is not an avowed free silver man, This Senator Pritchard cannot do, because he has pledged himself to stand by the re- publican nominee and to work for free sil- ver within party lines| abiding by the result. Mr. Butler's Allegntion. Senators have given up hope of securing Mr. Butler’s vote, and as with that sup- port reorganization would have been ex- tremely difficult to secure, the widening of the breach embarrasses the situation so that the end cannot now be seen. In Sen- ator Butler's circular prepared a few days ago, but withheld for revision, he declares: “The republicans got nearly twice as much out of the last co-operative fight as we got. The offices which they got amounted to over $100,000 more in salaries than those we got. Then, how absurd it would be to give them both the Senator and governor for the privilege of co-operating with them this year. Besides, if the republicans should elect the President and we should agree for the republicans to name the governor in North Carolina, then think of what a con- dition we would be in as a party. The state wovld not only be overrun with re- publican revenue officers and other federal office holders, but the prestige and influence of a republican governer, in addition, would almost crush us and our principles out of sight.” Why the Circular Was Recalled. It is asserted on what appears to be the most reliable authority that this circuiar was not only manifolded ready to send out to North Carolina populists, but that it actually reached the post office and was re- called in great haste, because ore of Mr. Butler’s advisers urged that to place his objection to co-operation on the ground that the republicans had gotten $110,000 more in offices than the populists had se- cured would have the effect of making the populists appear to be fighting for oltices. But this circular was actually printed a North Carolina paper, much to the an- noyance of Senator Butler, whose modified circular is now drawn up and manifolded ready to send out ina day or two, and this modified circular says nothing about the achievements of the republicans in getting $100,000 more officcs than the populists se- cured. But the effect of these developments has been to make republicans feel satisiied that Mr. Butler will not vote for reorganization of the United States Senate when such re- organization would give to Senator Pritch- ard the naming of the sergeart-at-arms of the Senate, though, of course, Mr. But- ler’s remarks referred to offices within his state. It is possible that this movement may be the cause of defeating ta2 clection of Grant and putting in his place the name of some man who can secure one or more doubtful votes, as it was expecied the name of Grant would do. Unequal Distribution. This new complication in the Senate re- organization project 1s weleomed with great glee by the democrats, and especially by those whose influence has placed many of their friends in good places. But it is asserted that the distribution of places ameng the democratic Senators under the present organization is very unequal. Those who have attempted to trace the relations of the Senate employes to Sena- tors say that Senator Gorman has thirty- seven of his own friends occupying places, when the entire number of officers is about 300. This alleged unequal distribution is not generally understood by the demo- crats themselves, and there are republican Senators who think that if the facts of the present distribution of places in the Sen- ate could be shown it would create dis- content that would cause a disaffection among democrats, and that perhaps help could be had to secure a reorganization by the republicans. ‘Whatever the outcome may be, republi- cans of the Senate are now less sanguine of reorganization than for many weeks past. LOCAL DEMOCRATIC AFFAIRS, ittee About to Chairman Thomas B. Kalbfus issued a call today for a meeting of the democratic central committee at No. 1424 E street northwest next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. The purpose of the meeting will be to orgat ize the ccmmittee, and much in- terest is centered’ upon the question as to who will be chosen chairman. While it has been pretty genera:ly understood that Mr. Kalbfus would be elected, it now appears that Mr. George Killeen has been put for- ward as a candidate, while there are ru- mors that Mr. John A. Clarke is also de- sirous of the horor. Mr. Clarke is not a member of the central committee, but it is said by some of his friends that this obstacle can be overcome by giving him posseesion of the proxy of the delegate frem his district. Those fa- miliar with tke rules governing the body, however, declare that no person who holds @ proxy is entitied to hold office in the com- mittee. A vacancy in the ccmmittee remains to be filled, the fourth district, which embraces part of Georgetown, not being represented. The democrats of that section are endeav- oring to settle. upon some one for the posi- tion of central committeeman, however, and it is believed that either Mr. Edwin Forrest or Mr. John Maher will be chosen. | —<—<—. The Girls Escaped. Lilie Courtney, Virginia Carson and Louise Harrison, colored, the first two named teing eighteen years old, and the latter but seventeen years, inmates of the Girls’ Reform School, on the upper Conduit road, managed to escape from the institu- tion Saturday evening just about dusk. The escap® was discovered immediately, but no alarm was given, for fear of creat- ing an embryo riot among the other in- mates. The three managed to sneak away while the supper line was marching, and nothing was done until the other girls were marched hack to their rooms and locked in. Word was immediately sent to police headquarters over the telephone, and the police instructed te look eut for them. Just as the fugitives reached the limits of Georgetown the police managed to catch Virginia Carson and Louise Harrison. The girls spent Saturday and Sunday night in a cell, and this morning were carried back to the institution, and placed in solitary confinement. Lillie Courtney, the ring- leader, is still at large, but her apprehen- sion is shortly expected. Lillie is the girl who caused the last riot at the school a few weeks ago, just before the death of the —— superintendent, Miss Augusta Du aa on, ‘The watch is nickel, good find one coupon inside A Watch _ for Nothing SENT POSTPAID IN EXCHANGE FOR 100 COUPONS, YOU PREFER, FOR 2 COUPONS AND $1.00 IN CASH.

Georgetown t Play the Princeton Ni Georgetown’s base ball season will begin in earnest tomorrow, when the wearers of the blue and the gray meet the Princeton team at Georgetown field. Both teams are, as yet, undefeated, and the fact that Princeton took away the championship from Georgetown last year will only serve to make the latter team play as it never has before. The Georgetown team has shown up well In its games up to date, and it only remains to be seen what they will do against the team from Princeton. The Tigers have not been beaten yet, and will Strong Capt. Harley, Georgetown. Probably reach Washington with a clean record of victories. Their work in the north seems to indicate that the batting of the team is exceptionally strong, although the teams which they have played have not Leen up to the standard. The University of Virginia and Washington and Lee have both fallen victims to the Tigers, however, and today the University of North Caro- lina at Winston will probably lay down its colors to the orange and black. The game to be played tomorrow is the only one scheduled to take place between Georgetown and Princeton. Consequently, the utmost care will be taken on each side to make each play tell and each hit ad- vance the score. Easton or Wilson will do the pitching for the Tigers, while Mahoney will probably occupy the box for George- town. The absence of Sullivan is, of course, Capt. Bradley, Princeton. to be regretted, but Maloney is doing excel- lent work with Tracey and Lambert, and in the last inning with Dickinson Saturday, held Mahoney in good shape. Easton is the pitcher that defeated Georgetown last year in the final game of the series, but Wilson has, perhaps, been doing the best work of the present season. The team is under the direction of Capt. Bradley, who plays in the outfield. The team, as it will come to the bat tomorrow, will be in the following order: Ward, Easton, Altman, Kelly, Brad- Wayave, Wilson or Suter, Gunster and itus, ——.__ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Local Notes of Interest From Across the Creek. Word was received at the seventh pre- cinct Satarday about noon of the escape of “Sap” Boyd, a colored criminal of George- town, who nanaged to escape from the workhouse. Boyd was serving a term for slashing up some material belonging to a colored resident in town. Immediately after his escape the negro made a bee line for Georgetown, and took shelter in the house of a friend in Scott street, between 32d, Valley, Q and U streets. He was lo- cated by Policeman Pierce. After dark an attempt was made to corrall him. A num- ber of officers surrounded the house and a search was made. Boyd was found hiding, and taken to the station. The negro had packed up his effects and was preparing to flee from town when caught. Real Estate. Jacob P.
