Origin of the Holiday—Meeting of the Library Association and Labor Bu- reau—Action of the Bakers. ‘The Labor day committee of the Knights of Labor and the local Federation met yes- terday and completed arrangements for the celebration of Labor day at Marshall Hall. Encouraging reports were submitted by every delegate present, and it was stated that several thousands of tickets have al- ready been sold for the excursion. The list of events for che occasion is as follows: Hydrocycle race from Marshall Hall to River View between Patrick O’Brien and William Moran of Carpenters’ Assembly and J. W. Caldwell and W. A. Kendrick of the Engineers’ Association, for which the prize will be the race will begin at 8:15 p.m. At 4:15 there will be an interesting boat race between Mrs. Florence Casey, Miss Emma Berry and Miss Jane Berry, tub race by men at 4:30, tub race by ladies at 5, bicycie race, for which prizes have been contributed by Saks & Co., Mr. Crist and Parker, Bridget & Co., respectively; sack race, 5:30; sprint- ing at 5:5, for which a prize has been of- fered by Hahn & Co. This series will close with the catching by the tail of a greased pig. Following, after a brief interval, will be the most novel incident of the evening, a “rooster dance.” This is something new in this section. The dancing will be begun at 5:15, and continue fer about one hour. The entire program will be concluded by the performances of a lady contortionist. A letter from Mr. J. D. Kehoe, president of Columbia Typographical Union, who was invited to act as a judge in the hydrocycle race, to Mr. C. H. Worden, secretary of the conference, in which Mr. Kehoe ac- cepted the invitation, was read and placed on _ file. The committee in charge of the program is composed of Messrs. A. M. Lawson, C. A. Holmes and James Mclver. Origin of Labor Day. The statement was made that the idea of having one dzy in the year set aside as 2 national holiday to be known as Labor day criginated from a member of Excelsior As- sembly, No. 2672, and was proposed on the ficor of the Federation of Labor at its next meeting. The matter was at once referred to the legislative committee of that body and the commitiee urged it before Congress with such vigor that a law was enacted in 1894 providing for Labor day. Enjoying, as the members of the Federa- tion do, the credit of having had this benefi- cent law for all classes of workingmen Pessed by the highest law-making body in this country, they feel that it is proper and right that the Federation should celebrate each recurring anniversary in a creditable manner. Every effort has been made to make the festivities of the approaching celebration more enjoyable then those of former occasions. The object of the excursion which fs +o be giver on Labor day by most of the members connected with the local Federa- tiomig to raise funds for the purchase of a monument to beplaced over the graves of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Rea, the former. whom was at the time of his death, February last, recording secretary and chairman of the executive board of the As- sociation of Eccentric Engineers. He was also ac the same period secretary of the executive board of District Assembly No. 66, K. cf L.; secretary of the contract com- mittee of the Federation, secretary of the labor bureau and secretary of the Labor Advocate Publishing Company. All of these bodies ere doing all in their power to make the excursion a great financial and social success. The committee having charge of the af- fair consists of a delegate from each local represented in D. A. 66, K. of L., and the Federation of Labor, Mr. A. M. Lawson being chairman and Mr. C. H. Worden sec- retary. Library Association Meeting. The delegates to the Workingmen’s Li- brary Association and Labor Bureau trans- acted considerably more business at a meeting held Saturday evening than at any previous meeting in the history of the in- stitution. President F. M. Dent was in the chair, and Mr. C. A. Maidens was secre- tary. ‘An individual sustaining membership card was adopted for the use of men desiring to contribute to the support of the library whose organizations are not contributing collectively. A ‘send’? card was also or- dered to be printed and distributed among the many friends of the institution, in- eluding merchants and others. On the back of this card there will be a concise statement of the aims and objects of the association. It will be inclosed in a brief appeal for help. The cards will be of an improved design, and a committee will be responsible for their distribution. A commiittee of four was appointed to take steps for the proper celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the association, which occurs in October. The meeting was well attended, and some of the most prominent labor leaders in the city were present. The Bakers’ Assembly. A largely attended joint meeting of Bakers’ Assembly, K. of L., and Local No. 118, Journeymen Bakers and Confectioners’ International Union, was held last evening for the purpose of arranging fer the proper observance of Labor day. Mr. J. B. Calla- han, who calied the meeting to order, ex- plained its object and J. A. Kaehn was chosen to preside, with Messrs. Weber and Somberg as secretaries. After remarks by a number of those pres- ent, the following resolutions were adopted, but, in order to be effective, they wiil also have to be agreed to by the organizations concerned: “Resolved, That every bread baker be- longing to L. A. 2389, K. of L., and L. U. 118 will not be permitted to work on Sep- tember 7, Labor day, from & a.m., until September §, at 5 a.m., and that all pie and cake bakers shall not be permitted to work froin September 6, at 12 p.m., until Sep- tember 7, at 12 p.m. “Resolved, That any member of either organizatien violating these rules shall be fined $25. “Resolved, That no member of either or- ganization be permitted to work up any sponge or dough which is made by non- union labor.” ee INTEREST INCREASIN iG.

A Decision Rendered in Favor of the Graphophone Company. In the suit of the American Graphophone Company against John R, Hardin, receiver of the North American Phonograph Com- pany, for infringement of patents in the manufacture and sale of the so-called Edi- son phonograph, and for injunction, dam- ages, accounting, etc., a de¢ree in favor of the American Graphophone Company has been entered in the United States cir- cult court for the district of New Jersey, by the consent of the defendant, who also pays the American Graphophone Company a substantial cash sum in settlement of damages. Messis. Pollok and Mauro ot Washington, D. C., represented the com- plainant, and Messrs. Dyer and Drisco!l, the attorneys of Thomas A. Edison, repre- sented the defendant. The North American Plronograph Com- pany was organized in 1888 for the purpose of introducing the graphophone and the phonograph. It obtained title to the graph- ophone through Jesse H. Lippincott, the sole licensee of the American Graphophone Company, and it purchased the so-called Edison phonograph. This was not the original tin-foil indenting phonograph, but a talking machine which engraved its rec- ord on a solid resisting material, following the method of the graphophone. The Amer- ican Graphophone Company, the owner of the fundamental patents, itcensed the so- called improved Edison phonograph during its early career, receiving therefor $10 for each instrument, and an agreed sum for blank cylinders, musical records, etc. Thereupon local companies were organized throughout the United States by the North America Phonograph Company, and at least $25,000,000 invested in the enterprise. Owing to the fact that the sale of stock was given prominence and little attention Paid to the legitimate business, the North American Phonograph Company _ never reached a’ sound bus'ness footing, and, after the failure of Mr. Lippincott, its first presi- dent, became embarrassed and ceased to pay royalties, although it continued, with Thomas A. Edison as president, to attempt for a time to market the Edison phono- graph. The American Graphophone Com- pany brought suit for infringement, in- junction, etc. A decree was obtained by default in the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict uf Columbia, and soon thereafter the North American Phonograph Company went into the hands of the receiver, who was thereupon sued also. In the case now settled, a defense was entered by the re- ceiver, under the belief that all the mate- rial he had handled had paid the proper royalty to the American Graphophone Com- pany; but when he ascertained that such was not the case, he consented to the de- cree of injunction. This case is interesting to the public in view of the widespread belief that Thomas A. Edison is the inventor of the commer- cial talking machine of today. Such 1s not the case. He was the inventor of the tin- foil phonograph, which lacked three e tial features of the graphophone, a perfect record, a permanent record and a record which can be detached from the machine and used at any other point and at any di tance of time. It remained for Alexander Graham Bell, Ciichester Bell and Charles Sumner Tainiter to discover, after lovg ex- periment and research, in the Volta Labo- ratory, in Washington, D. C., the principle of sound record making and reproduc'ng, as set forth in the graphophone patents, which, in the present suit, are again vin- dicated. In part payment of the expense incident to the experimental work in the graphophone Alexander Graham Bell do- nated the Volta prize of $20,000 given to him for the invention of the telephone. eee HITCHCOCK DIVORCE CASE. Answer of the Wife to Hill Filed by the Husband. In the divorce case of Carlos A. Hitch- cock against Emeline G. Hitchcock, the wife has filed a cross-bill and her answer to her husband's petition for divoree. Mr. Hitchcock, who is said to be about seventy- six years of age, Is at present residing here, bui formerly was sheriff of Pittsford, Vt, and at one time a member of the state leg- islature. He petitioned for divorce here the Gth of last month, claiming that his e had been unfaithful to him and had de- ceived him as to her previcus marital ex- periences, alleging that he had never been legally married to her. Mrs. Hitchcock denies her husband's charges, asserting that he was aware of her previous marriages, and that she was legal- ly married to him September 8, 181, -shé having been divorced from her second hus- band, George A. Harper, in 18) She denies that she ever was married to a Mr. White, and she denies that she was ever guilty of unfaithfulness. She says that her husband is a wealthy man, but claims that he forced her to perform menial work and declined to support her as he was able to do. She charges cruel treatment and asks for alimony, explaining that she was allowed $0 a2 month by a Vermont court pending a final disposition of suit for divorce in that state. which suit, she says, she has dismissed to prosecute the one here. —— 107 YEARS OF AGE. Death Lat Evening of Mrs. Young, a Colored Woma Mrs. Agnes Young, colored, died at 7: o'clock last evening, at the unusually ad- vanced age of one hundred and seven years. She was born tn King William county, Va., but lived the greater portion of her life in Caroline county, Va. During the past twenty-three years the deceased made her home ai the residence of her son, Isaac Young, 12°8 10th sireet northwesi, where she expired last evening as stated. She’ was the mother of twelve children. Mrs. Young was active held full pos- sessicn of her mental faculties until Fri- day last, when she was found lying uncon- scious in the yard adjoining her son's resi- dence. It is not known whether Mrs. Young had suffered a paralytic stroke or was prostrated by the heat. She did not regain consciousness. aS A Suburban Scorcher's Troubles. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Two considerations agitate the mind of the wheelman at present when thoughts of a country home are suggested, viz: how to obtain a wheel and how to keep it. The lock companies, for a small gratuity, pro- vide us with a suitable device to baffle the bike thief. This contrivance, however, is unavailing when you desire to frustrate the bicycle mangler who holds forth in the baggage car of either the Frederick or Hagerstown express (B. and O., of course.) You may safely conduct yourself and wheel in a dozen narrow escapes about town with perfect confidence, but it re- quires considerable temerity to confront the bicycle mangler aforesaid. Arriving at his dreaded den, you, with a beating heart, tenderly assist your wheel in to the man- gler, who seizes it violently, as though it were a grade calf from Rubensville. Shortly after witnessing the disappearance of your valuable wheel, with its effulgent enamel, your earseare assailed with an agonizing crash, produced by its being thrown among indestructible milk cans, and you mentally enumerate the damages sustained. Other wheels are thrown against the cans and piled upon each other indiscriminately, un- til they are almost inextricable. If you expostulate with him on his culpable reck- lessness, or bespeak gentle treatment for your silent stetd, you will only inflame the ™mangler; and who knows what gratuitous injury may not be inflicted, especially if he identifies your wheel as a periodical victim, whose reappearance previous severe treat- ment has failed to discouragé! An examination of your bicycle after a short trip on the Frederick or Hagerstown express will disclose bent pedals and spokes and enamel defaced with innumer- able scratches and cuts. One such trip will usually cure a wheelman of such extray- agance. He must abandon living in the country or keep his wheel there or in town. Shall we abandon the wheel or stay in town? THE SAGE OF HACIENDA. —_——-__ Death of Chas. F. Larner. Charles Frederick Larner died Saturday at the family residence, 23 Grant place. The deceased had been in bad health for several months. Funeral services will be held at the late residence tomorrow after- noon. The pallbearers will be James L. Norris, Washington B. Williams, E. S. Par- ker, Henry O. Towles, J. Fred Keiley and William E. Edmonston. The deceased was well known in this city, where he had spent his entire life. He had never developed fully mentally and one of his peculiarities was a desire to attend funerals. For years “Charley” Larner, as he was known, was a familiar figure on such occasions. ——__ Bicycle Races. Rockville fair tomorréw. Take B. and 0. train. One fare round trip.—Advt.

Two of the colored women in the toils were Eliza Dean and Etta Harris,who were in trouble because of a religious discussion. The former is a Catholic and the latter a Baptist, but their discussion of religious questions attracted a crowd and resulted in disorder. “It don’t make any difference about our religion,” Etta was said to have remarked, “hell is our home, and we are all going there. Etta was fined $3 for her part in the dis- cussion, while her friend was discharged. ———__ NEW B. AND O. STATION. a = BO<Y DRUNKARDS said the outside, causing Some Sad Cases Which Came Up in the Polios Court. How Justice Wiis Deslt Out to the Offenders Whe Were Arraigned Today Before Judge Scott. There was a mixed crowd of prisoners in Judge Scott's court this morniag, and Policeman Flynn expressed surprise that there were so many new faces in the party. “There are none of the old rounders here,” remarked the officer, “but the vic- tims of Hquor are numerous, and some of them are mere beys. It’s a shame that boys sre permitted to get Mquor in this way, and those who are responsible for it are never punished.” The trial of a boy named Shreeves, who had given his name as Frank Allen, made it apparent that there was a “speak-easy” in operation in East Washington yesterday. “You are charged with being a suspicious person,” the clerk read to him; “are you guilty or not guilty?” “Not guilty,” answered the boy. Several witnesses were called to tell of the alleged attempt on part of the defend- ant to collect money from Capitol Hill physicians, among them being Drs. Custis and Shute, His scheme was to telephone for the phy- sician to call to see a patient, and then at- tempt to collect 10 cents for a telephone message. ‘When I went to answer a call,” said one of the doctors, “I found a vacant lot at the address given. Further evidence was not necessary, for the boy, who fs only sixteen years old, ad- mitted his guilt. “But the idea was not original with me,” sald the boy. “I was in an alley near B and 3d strects drinking beer with some boys, and when the beer gave out I wen’ out to get some money to buy more beer. “And how much did you collect?” the court asked. apne get a cent.” “Don't you Gas y know “Yes, sir, but if you'll forgiv time, “I'll never repeat the offense. ‘This is a serious offense,” the court said, “and {is one in which there should be some pmnishment inflicted.” a ve been punished enough,” the boy said, “for I was locked up all night, and I assure you that if you deal mercifully with me I'll never do wrong again.” The court directed that the clerk take the boy's personal bonds to behave himself. A Difference of Opinion, Michael White, who is about twenty years old, was also in the procession because of his intemperance, but he was not so peni- tent. Je was at the corner of Grant avenue and 7th street Saturday night, cursing and swearing,” said Policeman Hall, “and I arrested him, ‘Are you certain he was doing the cars- ing?” the court asked. “Yes, sir,” responded the policeman, “he was the only one on the corner at the time. When I placed him under arrest he pulled a bottle of blackberry and gin on me and asked me to take a drink, but I refused," ell, young man,” said the court, “what have you to say about your conduct? The officer makes a serious charge against you. I wasn't swearing,” he answered, “but Yl admit I had been’ drinking.” “And were you drunk?” ndeed, I wasn't drunk,” he answered, “for I had only drank six or seven bottles of beer all day. “How many bottles does it take to in- toxicate you?” ~ “About three or four, if I drinks-them one after the other.” was his answer. “But you had been drinking blackberry and gin?” He “I know Ihad taken a litt@of it.” Judge Scott spoke of the direct’ conflict A Hnandnome Stractare Nearly Com- pleted on Mt. Royal Avenue. An ermy of mechanics, under the general superintendence of Chief Engineer Man- ning of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, is today ergaged in putting the finishing touches on the new Mount Royal avenue station of the company in Balti- more, as it is desired to open the depot for travel tomcrrow morning, at which time the new shops of the road at Cumberland will also be put into service, the terminals of the second and third and the Pittsburg divisions established at the same city and a number of changes made as to the offi- clal locations of various officers, the names of which have appeared in The Star from time to time. The train shed is about 430 feet long, and the fiooring is laid flush with the tracks, so that passengers will have no difficulty in walkirg across them to and from the trains. By the plan adopted the ballast and ties are completely covered and only the rails are exposed. The platforms are composed of thick patent stone, and every- thing about the place is substantial. A flight of granite steps leads from Mount Royal avenue to the new station, and there is elso a wide driveway, bordered by grass plats. The shed will be covered. with wired glass. ‘The new station, which, as already stat- ed, presents a beautiful appearance, is built of Port Deposit granite, with trim- mings of Indiana limestone, and fs of the Renaissance style of architecture. The central portion of the sirccture is but one story in height, giving very high ceilings to the two waiting rooms. It is expected that it will take almost the entire month of September to entirely fin- ish the station and its surroundings. The electric overhead work for the Belt iine motors is being rearranged. In the train shed it is hung from the trusses, the heavy trolley poles of bridge work having been removed at that point to prevent their be- ing in the way of passengers and employes. There are five tracks, with switches, just inside the big bell-shaped mouth of the tunnel, so that trains stopping at the new station cau be taken in close to the gates if need be. The opening of the new station afforded an opportunity to Receiver Murray to pro- mote a faithful employe, Mr. Lawrence McC. Boyd, who for six years past was night ticket examiner at Camden station, and Mr. Boyd has already entered upon the duties of his rew and responsible posi- tion as station master. Mr. Boyd was for- merly a resident of Winchester, Va., where many of his relatives now live. > In the Churches.

Au Italian Relates Her Grievances at Police Hendquarters Today. The first caller at police headquarters this morning was a nervous little woman, who told a story of the exciting time she had experienced about 6:30 in the morning at her home, No. 444 Ist street southwest. She is the wife of Genge Garegarne, an Italian fruit vender, whe does busines from push carts in the vicinity of Penn- sylvania avenue and 7th street. Sperro George, a Greek, who is in the fruit and candy business, selling his wares from push carts in the same way, rents the house, and Garegarne and his wife occupy rooms in the house. Sperro George is one of the mest prosperous of the push-cart merchents, and many of his fellow-coun- trymen were well aware of the fact that he frequently had large sums of money on him, and they thought he did his banking in his own home. It was with an idea of getting some of this money, it is thought, that three men called at the house this morning. According to Mrs. Garegarne’s complaint, the three men called at the house soon af- ter her husband and Sperro George had left and gene to market. - Two of them, she said. came upstairs to her room, while the other remained down stairs to watch. One of the two men at- tempted to assault her, and she resisted as best she could, and would have made an outery had not one of them drawn a knife and threatened her life. When he drew the weapon on her, she said, he demanded money, but she had none to give him. Finally the men were frightened away and she went and found her husband. De- tective Rhodes heard the woman’s com- plaint. She does not know the names of the men, although, she says, she will be able to identify them. ——— Looking for a Sister. Postmaster John Creeden of Hoeckessin, Del., has been in the city several days, iooking fcr his sister, Miss Annie Creeden, who disappeared from her home several weeks ago. The missing lady is twenty-six years old, and has been a Sister of Cha: Her brother, who says she is demented, very much worried over her continued sence. Crecden was here several da watching the post office, expecting his eis: ter to appear there and call for a letter, but failed to see her. As soon as he had departed, however, the sister called and got the letter. This was on Saturday, and she immediately sent a telegram to her brother. He returned here this morning to renew the search, and Inspector Hollinberger’s officers are assisting him. Last Saturday & Wednesday TRUS OF THE SEASON To River View.
