THE FAREWELL Daughters of the American Revolu- tion to Celebrate Its Centennial The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion are arranging to celebrate September 19, the centennial of the Issuing of ‘Washington's farewell address. The reso- lution to observe the day was offered at the meeting of the national board of man- agement of the Daughters of the American Revolution, held in this city, April 2, 1806, by the historian general, and was unani- mously adopted. At that time the president general ap- pointed a committee “on observance of the centenary of Washington's farewell ad- dress," consisting of state and territory regents and seven resident members. The local section of this committee met, and, after deliberation, offered the following re- por’ “Resolved, This committee recommends to national board of management of the Daughters of the American Revolution that the following suggestions be for- warded to state and territory regents, to be presented to them by chapter regents, to secure the appropriate observance of the tenary of Washington's farewell address to the people of the United States, September 19, 170 “That this day be marked by a universal y of the flag on all public and private buildings; ‘That the importance of remembering be placed before all patriotic or- ganizations, presidents of colleges, super- intendents of public schools, all institutions of learning, boards of trade and civil au- thorities; “That the public press be appealed to to republish this, ‘Washington's Legacy,’ to the end that it may reach the home of every citizen. This report is signed by Elizabeth Bryant Johnston, chairman, historian general: Mrs. Sue Virginia Field, vice president gen- eral; Mrs. Harriet M.’ Lothrop, president general, C. A. R.; Mrs. Jennie Franklin Hichborn, vice president general, in charge of organization; Miss Virginia Miller, regent, District of Columbia; Mrs. Kath. erine R. Lincoln Alden, regent, Army and Navy Chapter, and Mrs. Betty Beck Good- loe, Mary Washington Chapter. Se A Horse Shoe of Rubber. From the New York Tribune. If the latest phase of modern ingenuity Proves a success, there will be no more heaving trampling and the rhythmic click- ing of the hoofs of four-footed steeds. ‘There has been invented a new horse shoe —a steel frame about which is built a cushion of vulcanized rubber. The ad- vantage claimed for it is that as the rub- ber instead of the metal strikes the ground there is no concussion or jar, and the horse’s hoof, leg and shoulder are saved. Thirty-three per cent of the diseases of horses, it has been said, are maladies of the foot, and there can be little question but that even the best shoeing, as it is done now, by burning the hoof, is in a measure injurious. This new horse shoe is to be put on cold, and the hoof simply Pared or cut to fit. It is nailed on in the ordinary way. An additional advantage of the rubber sole is that it will give the horse @ firmer hold upon wet or treacherous Pavements, and, by securing him a good purchase, enable him to go up or come down steep hills with a heavy load far more easily than at present.

Washington pulled up several points on the Brooklyn contingent yesterday, and was not content with simply winning the game, but covered the church goers with a cloud of snewy whiteness. Not a Brook- lynite reached home and only four hiis were secured off Mercer's delivery. The credit certainly belongs to the young man with the tack hair and the rueful counte- nance. While he gave two bases on balls, they did not count in the result, and his control and speed were splendid. Three times did the band of hirelings trom the church city have two men on bases, and twice with only one man out, but Win set- tled down, and the best the visitors had to offer was a weak infield hit or a beautifully placed fly—that is, for the fielders. The game was a steady, rather well-play- ed cne, although the Senators are charged with four errors. There were no sensation- al plays, and the home team won out by good batting. Three of the errors charged to the Senators were partly excusable, all being made on hard throws, the only one that vored of yellowness being that of Selbach in allowing a ground ball to go through him. There was no kick coming from the rooters, however, and everything was forgiven on the spot. ‘De Moni’s work at the bat was the particular bright fea- ture of the game. He made three hits and a sacrifice, besides participating in a dou- ble play with O’Brien and Cartwright. All of the hits made by the Senators were sharp, clean cracks that seemed to go straight for the right open place in the in- field or else drop j safely beyond the fielder's outstretched fingers. Washington gained the same lead in the first that they did Saturday—four runs. Eut there was no hoodoo this time, and the game was won right there. Lush got his base and De Mont followed with his first hit. Then Selbach made a singie, scoring Lush, and after Farrell had gone out on a fly Smith made a sacrifice, putting De Mont on third and Setbach on second. Then O’Brien came up to the bat, and noting the gap between first and second, sent a scorching line hit straight for it that did not stop until both runners had scored ond “Johnny” was roosting on second. Brown made another beautiful double and O'Brien red. This closed the run-getting for the in- ning. In the second round Lush made gle, went to second on DeMont’s sac- rifice and came home on Selbach’s hit, al- though Daly tried to catch him at the plate. Another one was added in the fifth off DeMont’s single an1 Selbach’s *long hit to Jones, which ought to have been fielded in quicker. The seventh score was tallied in the eighth. O'Brien made a sin- gle and Cartwright scored him on a ter- rific hit straight out through the air to the center field fence, that netted the runner three bases surely, but he tried to stretch it into a homer and was put out at ihe plate. In the second inning the visitors had a man on third and one on second and only one out, but McCarthy and Burrell both went out on infield hits. In the sixth Grif- fin reached second and Daly first with only one out, but Mercer setiled down again and the hopes of the trolley dodgers were as naught. In the eighth Griffin started off with a single and Daly flew out to Sel- bach. Then Corcoran’ stepped up and swatted the ball straight for Genie De- Mont. That was the worst thing he have done if he really wanied his to score, for Genie scooped it up, threw it to O'Brien, who started it on its way ty Cartwright, and the double play was complete, retiring ihe side.

Two players of the Cleveland base ball club came to blows Saturday afternoon, and for a time serious trouble was threat- ened in the team, which hopes to again win the Temple cup. Center Fielder McAleer has a _viole: He became enraged Saturday afternoon because Tebeau calle to Blake to take a fly in McAleer’s tel tory. Blake is far the better thrower and it was necessary to head Meyers off at the plate. After the game McAleer violently abused Blake until Telean interfered, when he abused the captain. ‘Tebeau threatened to fine him, when McAl ddenly hit ‘Te- beau and blackened his cye, and the other players interfered to prevent a fight, as Tebeau was ready for one py that time. McAleer was at first suspended for the rest of the season, but as he afterward apologized and is too valuable a man to lose from the team, the matter was patch- ed_up. Colonel Rogers of the Philadelphia base ball club stated yesterday that he pro- posed bringing suit against the Wilming- ton manggement for breach of contract in selling Pitcher Novs to Baltimore. Mr. Rogers says that Manager Long of Wil- mirgton had agreed to give Nops to Phil- edelphia on payment of $2,000, A meeting was called between the two managers in Colonel Roger's oftice, but Manager Long failed to appear. Bese ball men were talking yesterday over a mysterious meeting at the Mononga- hela House, Pittsburg, Sunday, between President Reach of the Philadelphia club and President Johnson of the Western League. Most guessers had {t that the chat was relative to Western League play- ers whom the Philadelphia club had an idea of drafting. Buck Ewing had another idea. Reach was seeking to have his base ball adopted by the Western League. “There is going to be lots of ilghtiag over the ball this winter,” said Ewing. ‘The Baltimores will play the tirst game of the last series with Boston at_ Union Park today, weather permitiing. Stivetts will pitch for Boston, and it is probable that Corbett will pitch for Baltimore. Th Bostors played in Wilmington, Dei., yest day and were beaten by the Atlantic League team there, the score being 9 to 7. The Washingtons and Louisvilles scored 180 runs in their series, of which the Sena- tors tallied 108. The Pittsburg club expects to clear $28,000 this season. Up to Monday Cuppy had won twenty- three games for Cleveland this season, and Young had won twenty-four. Each’ has lost twelve. ‘This will make the ninth consecutive year in which the National League champion- ship has been won by an eastern ciub.

Pitcker Hawley believes that the rest Rusie’s arm is getting this season will benefit the great pitcher wonderfully. Donovan and Ely have played In every game with Pittsburg this season. The Cincinnati team has not played a ie game this season. The Chicagos have only eight more games to play this season, and fifteen days to play them in. Maneger Bancroft has been asked to give terms for an exhibition game between. the Reds and the Chicagos to be played at Portsmouth on the Sth of this month. Arthur Irwin has branched out as a theatrical manager. He is to run athletic shows in the Baltimore and Philadelphia base ball parks this week and the weeks following with Tom Sharkey as the princi- pal attraction, Pittsburg has beaten the Reds six out of nine games. The Reds lose three straight and Chicago takes four straight from Pittsburg. Cincinnati comes around and wallops the Chicagos.

Practice Begun at Princeton Foot ball practice began at Princeton yesterday afternoon on the varsity field. Twenty candidates reported and the num- ber will be doubied. The work consisted in Kicking, catching and passing. As the men become hardened the work will be more rigid. Among the old men to re- Port were Tyler, Brokaw, Suter, N. Poe, Lloyd Church, Crowdis, Smith, Cochran, Relter, Kelly and Schwartz. Several men from the entering class appeared on the field. Among these were Arthur Poe, who comes from a family of foot ball players. Beam, who played guard last year on the Franklin and Marshall College team, is trying for a place. At this early date few of the new men have arrived, but later in the week all candidates are expected to appear, and Princeton’s chances may then be more definitely stated. Jake Kilrain Knocked Out. Jake Kilrain was knocked out by Frank P. Slavin at the Eurcka Club, Baltimore, last night. The Baltimore heavy-weight was little better than a punching bag for the Australian, and it took him but two and a quarter minutes to put the ex-cham- pion out. Kilrain was very fat, and It was evident when he appeared in the ring that he was in no condition to meet Slavin, who Was trained to the hcur. Kilrain’s weight Was announced ay 210 pounds, but he look- ed at least fifteen pounds heavier. Slavin weighed 195, ‘The men out apy preliminary landed several blows on Slavin’s f: » While the Australian played for Kilrain’s heart and stomach. A 100-Mile Pigeon Race. The local homing pigeon fanciers of the National Federation will have their 100- mile race from Chester, Va., next Sunday. The entries are as follows: Dr. H. Darling, 25 birds; Allen C. McLain, 25 birds; How- ard C. Wall, 19 birds; W. R. Keyworth, 15 birds; W. L. Gury, 19 birds; W. H. Key- worth, 25 birds, and H. K. Bliss, 25. birds. This will be the first of the series of four races of 100, 150, 200 and 300 Miles. The club has flown birds from Quantico and Fredericksburg, Va, with g00d results, and should the weather continue as good as at present, it is thought that some young bird records will be broken. Work Begun at Cornell. About sixteen Cornell foot ball men ap- peared yesterday for the first praciice of the season. Mest of the men were backs, there being seven candidates alone for quarter-back, including Frank of last year’s University of Nebraska team.

Following are extracts from recent letters:- From “W"—“It is not the wheel that is to blame; it is the abuse of the freedom the road allows. There can be no harm if riders take trips and return at reasonable hours, say, 7:30 or 8 p.m.; but no fathers or mothers who have the good name of their girls at heart will permit ‘night riding.’ As to beer gardens, such places are certainly unfit for pure and innocent young irls. eer am surprised that so little is sald of an evil that leads to this and all other vices, namely, street flirtations. Thousands of Washington girls, daughters of honest, respectable parents, Indulge in this coarse, degrading practice. I know a number of honest, hard-working men, who, when they get home of an evening, are only too glad to settle down in rest and comfort and en- Joy their newspaper. I wish some of those fathers would take a leisure stroll througa some of the public parks one evening and look observantly around. How horrified they would be to see the giddy, flippant young men surrounding their daughters. I cannot understand how girls of in- telligence enjoy this dangerous, free-and- ezsy method of making men’s acquaint- ance. If it is an easy matter for a man to form a young woman's acquaintance on the street, you may be sure it will not be hard to get her to accompany him to a beer garden or other resort. And it will not surprise us to hear her styling herself ‘a nice young lady,’ and telling us that she likes beer. In:my mind, street flirta- tions and acquaintances easily made in the parks, excursion resorts, and places of amusement, are more” instrumental in bringing young gitls to’the beer gardens than bicycles,” y “Old Sport” says: “Shut up that garden and all others like’it. Nip this evil, which threaters to spread all over the city, right in the bud. It is am open‘hell for the inno- cent; a hidden pitfall, Ask any old rounder what he thinks of the place. I don’t mean to say it is not conducted properly, but the associations which are forced upon those who frequent the place are damning. I have seen young girls sitting at the same table with women, that quasi respectable sort whose names are by-words on the street. Is there not evil enough in Wash- ington? Have not the young girls already too many temptations? If the girls only knew what the men thought of them when they were seen in such places, I don't really believe they would take such risks.” ——.——_ Army Veterans for Bryan.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. WILMINGTON, Del., September 14, 1896. Ever since the St. Louis convention in June the republican national committee has striven hard and persistently to conciliate the warring factions of the republican party of this little state, with a view of effecting a compromise of their differences that would eventuatly result in the with- drawal of one or the other of the two electoral tickets now in the field, and the harmonizing of both factions in the sup- port of one ticket. In the carly stages of their work of conciliation the national com- mittee discovered that they had undertaken a task to perform which, successfully, would require more up-to-date diplomacy and con- sideration than is their wont to give to ordinary contests. They found instead of a mere uprising or small-sized rebellion by a few republicans against the old lead- ers of the party, as a majority of the na- tional convention viewed it, a well-organ- ized and powerful army of republicans who were standing shoulder to shoulder in a contest for the deposition of these old leaders and for general reform in the party. And they also found that those re- publicans who constituted this army were so inexorable in their determination to carry on the contest that they quickly de- cided that the best course to pursue in their work of conciliation was the calling of the various leaders of the opposing fac- tions to New York and hear both sides of the argument. Efforts at Conciliation. The hearings began in the early part of August, the Higgins faction getting in their side of the dispute first. J. Edward Ad- dicks and the leaders of the union repub- lican faction held aloof from the commit- tee until a special invitation was sent to them to go to New York. Their turn-down at St. Louis still rankled in their breasts, and they went before the committee with a determination to convince them that the decision at St. Louis was a travesty cn justice and an insult to a majority of the republicans of Delaware. At the head of the union republican delegation to New York was Millionaire A Ss and $ bury J. Willey, chairman of tae state ¢ tral committee. Afier listening to their argument for more than two hours, Chair- man Hanna asked Mr. Addicks if ne would not be willing to compromise a li bit, but the millionaire refused to yield an inch, and the hearing came to an end, with very little prospect of a settlement of the Deiaware trouble in sight. Chairman Han however, was not to be bafiied by such a discouraging turn of affairs, and in a few days he was again in consultation with tke leaders of the Hig- gins faction. At this interview the latter assured Mr. Hanna that they would be willing to abide by any honorable decision ‘the national committee might make in their efforts to form a solid front for McKinley on the republican ticket in Delaware. This, in turn, raised Mr. Hanna’s hopes, and he resumed work on the Delaware case with renewed zeal and determination. Mr. Ad- dicks was again requested to go before the committee, which he did last week, and it ig believed that the result of his conference with the committee then was highly satis- factory to Hanna, Further Conferences. Since Addicks’ latest visit to Hanna it has been currently reported in this city that the national committee had been successful in their efforts to get the republicans of Delaware to unite on one electoral and state ticket. It was not stated, however, on what sort of an agreement the commit- tee would bring the warring factions to- gether, but, nevertheless, the report was partly verified by a conference of Higgins leaders in this state on Saturday. This conference comprised Col. Henry A. Du Pont, Edward G. Bradford, ex-Senator Anthony Higgins, Manlove Hayes, William . Spruance, Hugh C. Browne, secretary of the regular republican state central com- mittee, and several other prominent repub- licans of the state. Those who partici- pated in the conference would not divulge its proceedings nor its conclusions. It was ascertained, however, through certain lead- ers of the Higgins faction in this city that the conference was called for the purpose of discussing the advisability of withdraw- ing the ticket named by the Georgetown convention. It was also learned that the conference was called in response to a re- quest by the national committee that the entire ticket of the Georgetown convention be withdrawn, in view of a disposition on the part of Mr. Addicks and the leaders of the unton republican faction to compromise on the electoral ticket. Horace Greeley Knowles, chairman of the first district reg- ular republican committee, denied the re- port that the national committee had sent any communication in regard to a with- drawal of the ticket, but he admitted that the conference was called to consider such @ proposition. Mr. Knowles said that the conference arrived at no conclusion, but he intimated that there was a good prospect for a united republican party in the state before long. The Various Tickets. The candidates of the two republican factions, as they now stand, are: Union republicans—For governor, John Henry Hoffecker; for Congress, Jonathan 8. Willis; for electors, James G. Shaw, D. M. Wilson and D. J. Fooks. Higgins, or regular republicans—For gov- ernor, John C. Higgins; for Congress, Rob’t G. Houston; for electors, Willlam C. Spru- ance, Manlove Hayes and D. J. Fooks. It will be seen by these tickets that the Higgins republicans have but two inde- pendent electors in the field,and they are Spruance and Hayes. Fooks, their third elector, was the nominee of the union re- publicans two days before the Higgins re- publicans held their convention in George- town. Should a compromise be made—and there is now every indication that there will be @ compromise soon—it will probably be the withdrawal by Mr. Addicks and his friends of Shaw on the electoral ticket and the substitution of Spruance, the Higgins elector. Mr. Spruance was regarded with much favor by the union republicans in their convention, but his nomination by them was impossible, owing to certain cxi- gencies. How It Was Done. In return, of course, for this sacrifice by the union republicans, the Higgins repub- licans will take In their state and congres- sional ticket. This will leave a clear field to Hoffecker and Willis, and will no doubt have a tendency to bring out a strong re- publican vote in November. Mr. Hoffecker is the president of the National Bank of Smyrna, Kent county, and is one of the oldest and most iniluential men in the state. He is not a member of the union republican faction, but he accepted the nomination for governor at their hands be- cause he believed that they represented more than two-thirds of the party in the state. Jonathan 8. Willis, candidate for Con- gress, and present member of the lower house, is one of the leading and best-known republicans in the state. He, too, accepted the nomination of the union republicans on the same ground taken by Mr. Hoffecker. He is not a member of either faction. His opponent on the Higgins ticket is a young man, who is known but little outside of the town of Georgetown, in Sussex county, where he resides. —————— East Washington Invincibles, There was an enthusiastic meeting of the Invincible Republican Club of East Wash- ington at No 650 Pennsylvania avenue southeast last night.

The Michigan Republicans Begin Active Work—The Plan of Action. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., September 13, 1806. The republican campaign will open this week, and plans have been laid for such a campaign as Michigan has never before known. ‘The party, managers do not lack in confi- dence of how it will all end, but they real- ize that the silver sentiment has gained a strong foothold in the state and that many republican farmers and workingmen have # pronounced leaning toward the Chicago ticket and platform, and they propose to &.ve the democrat-populist-free silver forces a dance that will make their heads swim, Charles Moore, private secretary to Sen- ator McMillan, has come on from Wash- irgton to take charge of the oratorical ou- reau, and when the band fairly begins to play’ poiitical heavy weights from. other parts of the country will be brought into the state in rapid succession for from one to half a dozen speeches. Among the early comers will be James H. Hoyt of Cleve- land, Rev, Frank Gunsalus of Chicago, John W. Hill, speaker of the Ohio house of representatives; Thomas G. McDougall of Cincinnati, Thereon P. Keator, the Chi- cago labor agitator; Senaior Lhurston of Nebraska, ex-Senater John C. Spooner oi Wisconsin, Richard Yates of Llinois and ex- Congressman R. G. Horr, formerly of Mich- igan, now of New York. These speakers will be confined chiefly to the larger cities in the state, and will give a dash and vigor to the campaign and inspire the lesser speakers to greater exertion, While the cities are being covered, Michigan speake: will be working the smali towns, villages an. school houses for the benefit of the tarmers. The school house meetings are looked upon as a most important part of the campaig: and they wiil be more numerous than ever Lefore, and some cf the ablest of the Mich igen orators will take part in it. The rm publican organization has been pushed with greater vigor than in any former cam- paign, and in many counties the organiz: tion has acquired the smoothness and pre- cision of a well-oiled machine. The repub- licans are very confident, and have reason to be so, especially when the demoralized and disorganized condition of the opposi- tion and the lack of harmony in its ranks are considered. Democrats Without Funds. The managers of the tripocracy are very much in earnest in their devotion to free silver, but without funds, and with a force that has neither discipline nor experience. They are not in a position to put up a win- ning fight. They are distributing lots of literature sent them from Washington, al- ready franked for mailing, and are not do- ing much else to hold their forces together. Local speakers are holding occasional meet- ings, but in the early stages of the cam- paign the republicans have held two or three meetings to one of the other fellows, and the ratio will increase to sixteen to one when the campaign fairly opens. Senator Teller spoke in this city last week as the first gun in the campaign. He was greeted by one of the largest audiences that ever turned out to a political meeting. He was in poor voice and spoke for three hours, and it must be candidly admitted that he was a disappointment. He spoke without notes or manuscript, and not only wan- dered all over @ ten-acre lot, but talked in : : : a circle. His speech here was the only on in the state, and no arrangements have been made to bring others until Bryan makes his visit early in October, speaking in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Saginaw and at two or three other places. The republicans will bring ex-President Harrison into the state Immediately after Bryan's trip, and his route will be substantially the same as that of the boy orator, The Gold Democrats, The gold democratic state central commit- tee met last week and appointed an execu- tive committee, made up of W. charman; J.

Secret service officers are looking for an individual who is trying to pass raised sit ver certificates upon tradesmen. The note selected for this fraud 's the two-dollar certificate, bearing a portrait of Secretary Windom on its face. The figures are changed to $10, and the portrait is un- touched. There is no such thing as a gen- uine $10 silver certificate bearing the Win- dom fortrait, but it isn’t everybody that knows it. All such notes on the market are doctored two-dollar certificates. The alteraticn is readily detected when the raised certificate is examined with a mi- c to see to avoid deception t need a microscope A'l that Is necessary in this ma is the knowledge that the portrait of Windom is on the two-doliar silver certifi and on no cther issue of government moncy.
