JONES Charge That His Promises Have Not Been Fulfilled. A ROW IF IT COMES OUT The democrats figure that if Watson’s letter fs not made public before tomorrow it will do them no serious harm, but they quietly admit that the publication of it will do them some harm at any time. All of them are holding their breath, awaiting de- velopments. It is now known to be a positive fact that the letter is loaded to the muzzle, as has been foreshadowed in The Star. It accuses Senator Jones, chairman of the democratic national committee, of having promised to withdraw Sewall should Bryan be nom- inated by the populists. It accuses Jones of double dealing and treachery in numer- ous things. It is stated by Secretary Edgerton that Senator Butler declines to make the letter public on the grounds that the general tenor of it is objectionable. Mr. Butler, it is understood, wrote Mr. Watson a letter Monday, telling him his objections to the publication of tbe letter in its present form and informing him that if it was made pub- lic it would have to be done by Mr. Watson himself. Senator Butler agreed to make the letter public should the changes be made in accordance with the desires of the Senator. It is positively stated that Senator But- “s objections to the letter are not because Watson reflects on the national populist committee or on himself. Senator Butler is willing that whatever Watson says about him and his management of the cam- paign shall be read by everybody, as he is holding ammunition against Watson which he thinks will blow the Georgian into small pieces when the fight is concluded. Mainly Against Jones. Senator Butler and Secretary Edgerton are said to have seen the Watson letter for the first time Saturday night. Mr. Edger- ton did not see it Monday when he went to Senator Butler's home for a conference cn the matter. From all that caa be learned Watson’s wrath is mainly directed against Senator Jones. The Georgia candidate makes posi- tive assertions, it is understood, as to what took place at St. Louis, and as to what was promised by Chairman Jones. He does not say that such and such was understood there, but he declares positively that Chair- man Jones made promises which have not been carried out. Naturally the democratic and populist Bryan managers fear the pub- lication of matter of this kind. It would in- cite middle-of-the-road populists every- where, because they will believe Watson's charges. At headquarters here it is asserted that Chairman Jones made no promises at St. Louis. ard that it is so known to nearly ail the populist leaders. Secretary Edger. ton says that it was well known that Bry- an telegraphed that he would not accept the nomination of the convention should Sewall be not also nominated. This, Mr. Edgerton says, was freely circulated. Des- pite that, he says, General Weaver an- nounced on the floor of the convention that the populists would nominate Bryan wheth- er he desired it or not. Does Watson Want It Published? It now leaks out that National Commit- teeman Washbura, the personal representa- tive of Watson, telegraphed Senator Butler twice last week not to make the letter public, giving no reasons. One of these telegrams was from Thomson, Ga., and the other was from Nashville, Tenn., at both of which places Watson was present when the telegrams were sent. This is construed as meaning that Watson, after being talk- ed to by his managers, did not want the letter published. Watson himself, it is understood, has sent no telegrams about the matter, and if he has even answered any of the letters of the populist chair- man it Is not known. A Row if It Comes Out. It is almost a certainty that if Watson makes the letter public within the next few days that the last part of the cam- paign will witness a big row in the popu- list camp, which may seriously affect the election. Senator Butler, as has been in- tmated In The Star, will not hesitate to attack Watson in more virulent style than the Georgian hiraself could command. Sec- retary Edgerton would join in the attack, and there would be musfe {n the air for a few days. Neither of these men have any- thing much but contempt for Watson now, and they don't care whether it is known or not. They have been willing for Watson to crack his whip for some time. Senator Butler's desire to have Watson change the tenor of the letter is to put himself in po- sition to attack Watson. That Lack of Postage. Postmaster Willett, it is understood, ridi- cules the idea that the letter would have remained in the post office without having been sent to populist headquarters with a notice that it lacked postage. Secretary Edgerton says it can be proven that the letter was never presented at headquarters. Senator Butler’s private secretary, Mr. Hoover, says the letter was not taken to him by a letter carrier. It has been hinted that Mr. Hoover knew more of the letter than anybody else, but he professes entire ignorance of the matter. There are no others, except Senator Butler's nephew, who could have had any cognizance of the letter, outside of the persons named. May Not Come Out. As stated in yesterday’s Star, populist leaders here do not believe Watson will modify his letter or make it public now. They think he will hold it. Other indica- tions point to Watson adopting this course. Cause of the Delay. The delay in the delivery of Tom Wat- son’s letter of acceptance was the result of an oversight. It is the custom of the city post office officials to turn over to the Senate post office all letters addressed to Senators, as the latter office is kept in- formed of such addresses. These letters are sent to the basement of the post office through a shute, where they are received by a messenger from the Senate, except- ing such letters as are short of the re- quired postage. ‘his latter class of let- ters are retained until called for by the messenger, who pays the postage, which later he collects upon the delivery of the missive. During the absence of the regular Senate messenger a substitute was put in his place, and it is believed that the new man failed to call for letters not properly stamped for several days, and in that way the famous epistle of the populist candidate for the vice presidency was allowed to slumber in innocuous desuetude until the regular messenger returned to duty. aS SS Had a Fall.

Judge Miller Thinks Wife-Beaters Should Be Whipped. There is a whipping post in the Baltt- more jail, and the violators of laws which provide for this kind of punishment are scarce. But in this city wife-beaters are numerous, and Judge Miller is sorry that the law here does not provide for them some punishment similar to what they so unjustly administer to their wives. ‘he ab- sence of a law was the only thing that saved John Duckett, colored, from a dose of corporal punishment. Catherine Duckett, his wife, was in court with a terribly swollen and cut face, and she exhibited a brick with which her hus- band had assaulted her. According to the woman’s statement her husband is terribly jealous minded, and yesterday he assaulted her without the slightest provocation. “When all the bricks are gone,’” remark- ed the court, ‘there will be a jubilee.” “And another when there are no coal oil lamps,” added Mr. Mullowny. The defendant then said he struck his wife in self defense. “What had she done to you?” ‘She threw the coal oil lamp at me.” "Deed I didn’ Judge Miller heard the minor details of the affair from both sides, and then said he hardly knew ghat to do with the case. “I suppose,” said the judge, “the only thing left for the court to do is to send him to jail to live in idleness.” “Where he can smoke cigarettes and read dime novels,” Mr. Mutlowny added. The judge said he would like to impose a sentence that would make the prisoner run every time he sees a woman. A sentence of six months in jail was Imposed. William Frazier, a South Washington col- ored man, and Mary Frazier, his wife, were in court to settle their domestic troubles. Mary went to church Sunday night, and she says she met her husband there and he was with another woman. “She snatched my hat,” said the husband, “and we had trouble on the street.” They have been separated for more than @ year, and the man says he contributed to the support of the children last fall. The wife said that she was after her hus- band to give her some of the money he was spending on other women. “I haven't been spending money on others,” he said, “because I did not have any money to spend.” The man was given one month in jail. —_———___ BOTELER ASSIGNMENT. The Firm Wants the Sale of the Stock Stopped. John W. and Frank M. Boteler, the deal- ers in china wares at 923 Pennsylvania avenue, who last March made an assign- ment to Lewis C. Denham for the benefit of their creditors, yesterday afternoon filed a bill in equity against the assignee, praying for an accounting, and asking that he be enjoined from further disposing of the stock. The complainants contend that the as- signee has disposed of the greater part of the stock and has discharged the greater part of the firm's indebtedness. Besides, they say, the assignee has secured release from some of the creditors and has enough to secure the discharge of the remaining indebtedness on terms as favorable to the creditors. They say he has advertised the sale of the stock at prices too low, and they claim that he has virtually carried out the purposes of the assignment. Hence, they also ask that the assignment be re- voked. The complainants are represented by At- torney Henry E. Davis, and he secured a temporary restraining order, returnable Monday next. —_—_— Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—L. V. Whittmore, Stamford, Conn.; E. D. Harrington and R. J. Smith, Philadelphia, Pa.; F. L.

Charles Hanson, the young man who was put to sleep yesterday morning with the expectation that he would remain un- der the hypnotic influence until next Sat- urday morning, was still sound asleep this afternoon. Since yesterday morning he has moved but little and only as one tosses and turns in a sound slumber. Late last night he arose once, but his actions were entirely those of a somnambulist, and it was evident that he had no mental con- sciousness of what he was doing. Since then he has lain stretched out on the sofa in the window of the drug store at the corner of 5th and G streets,and has shown no signs of wakenirg. All day long the sidewalk in front of the store has been thronged with people, who crane their necks to get a better view of the curious spectacle. Hundreds have also filed through the store in order to get a nearer look. A number of physicians have also taken ad- vantage of the opportunity to study a patient while in a hypnotic condition. Not all the comments which have been made on the experiment have been of a flattering sort. In fact many people have expressed the opinion that the experi- ment ought never to have been allowed on the ground that it serves no useful purpose and simply draws a crowd of the morbidly curious. A reader of The Star has written to the editor on the subject, as follows: “Where are the police? Where are the ministers of the gospel? Where the mothers of Washington city? “The above queries arose in my mind this morning as I gazed upon the face of a lad in a show window corner 5th and G streets apparently sleeping, I should say, for I know nothing of the artful science, fair or foul, by which this seeming slum- ber has been produced. I know naught of the process, I say; but I do know that inasmuch as the so-called sleep is a condi- tion foreign to that produced by ‘balmy nature,’ it can be no sweet restorer of the powers which must languish under the touch of agencies purely human, and 1 further know that,noshuman being has a right to subject another human being so wholly to his will as to leave the party influenced thoroughly incapable of exer- cising his God-given faculties. “I gppeal, therefore, to the thoughtful minds and kind hearts of Washington city to deliver this young man from his present state of enthrallment.” ————— The Armes. Divorce Case. Upon the petition of Peyton Gordon, the divorce case of Lucy-H. Armes against Major Geo. A. Aries Has been reinstated by order of Judgg Hagner, to allow the ascertainment of Mr. Gordon's fees as se- questrator of Major Armes’ estate. The suit was recently dismissed by Mrs. Armes, it will be remembered, a reconcil- jation having, it is said, taken place be- tween her and her husband. While the case was pending last summer, Judge Hag- ner appointed Mr. Gordon as sequestrator of the estate, in order to collect alimony and counsel fees, which Major Armes had declined to pay. The reopening of the case now is merely done that Mr. Gordon may collect his fees and be relieved of further duties in.the matter. —>+—_— Small Fire. Yesterday afternoon about 6:30 o'clock the explosion of a coal oll lamp in the house of Marshall Smallwood, No. 2019 E street, caused a fire, which did $25 damage.

THE NEW BUILDING DEDICATED Characteristic Addresses by Men of National Distigttion. NEEDS OF THE INSTITUTION The new gymnasium and dormitory of the Newsboys and Children’s Aid Society, which was fully described in The Star of last Saturday, was formally dedicated last night, in the presence of a number of prominent people who are deeply interested in the admirable charity, whose power for gvod has been so greatly increased by this substantial addition to its facilities. The exercises in connection with the dedication were simple in their character, but none the less significant, and were conducted in the lecture room on the second floor, which was flag-draped and well filled with the friends of the institution. Rev. Dr. Alex- ander Mackay-Smith, president of the board of trustees, called the gathering to order, and, after prayer by Rev. Dr. Radcliffe, made a few pleasant remarks of a congrat- ulatory character and a brief outline of the purposes of the society. He then intro- duced Postmaster General Wilson. Mr. Wilson declared himself delighted with what he had seen, and complimented the society on what it had already accom- plished, a profound guarantee of the great work it would perform in the future. It was an inspiring work, and one that should have the co-operation of all who were philanthropic and kind-hearted, ‘The Classes und the Masses. Proceeding with his remarks, Mr. Wilson said a great deal had been recently heard about the classes and the masses. If asked to do so, he would not be able to define what constituted the masses and the classes in the United States. He could not draw the line to show ended and the classes began, classes today were the m day. So long, he declared, as men are obliged to make up the so-called classes from the so-called masses the institutions of the republic could be in no great danger. He said he took a very greai interest in Lewsboys because he was the greatest news because the of yester- carrier in the country himself. The educ tional and refining influences of an institu- tion like that being dedicated would be of incalculable value tothe boys who are neces- sarily thrown upon the street in pursuit of their avocation, and he urged the society to continue its good work in behalf of them who were so often friendle: During his address Mr. Wils armpies. yoys achieving great distinction in this country. Justice Harlan’s Address. Postmaster General Wiison was followed by Justice Harlan, who said he felt a deep interest in newsboys because he had never met one who was not a gentleman in his busines He told a laughable incident which happened in Chicago. “I was there on business with the court: said the justice. “The court hou not r distant from the hotel where I stopped and frequentiy I waiked the distance. The newsboys, bootblacks and cabmen grew to recognize me. One day as ed alons the Street one of the youi sisted on shining my boots. The task had just | done, but he » ihe request i that I determined to let him do the paper and he went to work. work long after I had finished the paper. 1 looked down at him and said: “‘Are you not taking a great deal of time on those boots, young man?” “Well, eee, judge,” he an nkiy, ‘dere’s a good de vem to shine. He was much ted in what the Postmaster Gene! had said about- the We read a great deal at present of the Classes because we have oc- d a great deal more of thein than we ought. It is quite tue that the masses of today are the cla of tomor- row, and it is also true that the classes or their descendants of today are quite apt to be the masses of the next day, because, perhaps, the classes of today will not just what it ought to do. I have notic that those of us interested in the training of these boys are of the well to do. The Americans are probably the rich in the world, and we will be richer. 3 n calculated that this country will con- tain some day 1,000,000,000 peopie, and. I have no doubt that it will, and when we Ket to have 200,000,000 or 300,000,000 people, s that have been brought here will Le dangerous if not curbed now by educa- tion. There are no people so free as we are. Indeed, there are 2 people except in the United States, for it is the only plac earth where all are equal. In England Gladstone and Lord Salisbury are the sub- Jects of Queen Victoria. Here there are no subjects. We are fellow-citizens, and have an equal right to vote. We are now strug. gling to know what may happen in the next ten days, and we are apprehensive of 11 chief from elements that have got here from foreign lands. I refer to these things so that the people here who have the train- ing of these newsboys may surround them with a Christian influence. I am glad to say that upon this occasion we meet with the emblem (pointing at the American flag) over us.”” This sentiment was loudly applauded. The Society*s Growth Re Prof. E. M. Gallaudet, pr. National College of Deaf Mutes, afd a member of the board of trastees, gave an interesting history of the society from its inception, and reccunted its growth and the steady improvement in its work and purposes, congratulating all who had been connected with it for the earnest fidelity with which they had given their assistance to its advancement. He was particularly pleasant in his references to the superin- tendent, Miss Mordaunt Wilson, and his tribute to her was warmly approved by all, who were equally conversant with the untiring devotion Miss Wilson has shown in her labors in behalf of the little ones. Among other things Prof. Gallaudet stated that what had been made possible by the generosity of Mrs. Maulsby was a source of sincere congratulation on the part of the city. The Newsboys’ Home, he said, 1s far superior to a reformatory; it is an- ticipatory to the extent that it directs the youngsters to an honorable, moral and good career before they are offered the tempta- tion to be bad. Dr. Mackay-Smith concluded the meet- ing with an address, in which he cailed attention to the existing necessities of the society, chlef among which was the appro- priate furnishing of the new building. A Chance for the Charitable. Beds, chairs and carpeting were needcd for the rooms and hall in the dormitory; the lecture room needed chatirs, blackboards and a piano; there were furnishings needed for the library and reading room, and the gymnasium was bare of equipments which were so necessary for the good work it is intended to accomplish. He urged mem- bers of the society to interest themselves to procure these necessary furnishings. At the conclusion of the exercises the visitors were escorted through the new building by Miss Wilson and her assistant, Miss Chartres, and there was general surprise and pleasure expressed at the admirable arrangements for the comfort of the little ones, and the remarkable cleanliness that characterized every nook, corner and cranny of the institution. It was set forth as a,fact worthy of spe- cial attention that in providing the home the association had not exceeded the funds at its disposal. The committee in charge of the building arrangements was compll- mented for the business ability it had dis- played. How the Home Was Erected. The following report was submitted by the building committee, Messrs. E. M. Gal- laudet and John B. Wight: “The building committee of the News- boys and Children’s Aid Society take pleasure in stating that they have com- pleted the construction of the gymnasium and dormitory in accordance with the in- structions given them by the trustees con- cerning the same. “A contract was entered into with Mr. where the masses | Francis H. Duehay for the construction of the building for the sum of $5,100.24. . Mr. Duehay has faithfully performed his work, as the building will show for itself. We have endeavored to provide a substantial plain building, well adapted to the pur- poses for which it is intended, and we believe that the building is as complete in the arrangements and as thorough in its construction as any building of a like char- aster which has been put up for the same amount of money. Special attention has been given to the sanitary arrangements, ard the provision for bath tubs, shower baths, washstands and closets are of the very ‘best. The sleeping rooms on the third floor for the boys are so arranged as to give each boy a room to himself. They are lighted from electfic lamps in the hall, and heated from the radiators in the hall. Each room hes a window and a clothes closet, and will be furnished with a bedstead, strip of carpet and a chair. “The committee desire to state in con- nection with the erection of this building that in the preparation of the plans and Guring the construction they have had the valuable services and advice of Mr. T. F. Schneider, who has Kindly given the same gratuitously. “It may be of interest at this time to present a statement regarding the Maulsby fund, from which this building has been erected. “The amount bequeathed by Mrs. Mauls- by was $30,000, There has been received from interest on this fund, which was kept invested until needed, $2,650.25, making a total of $32,C50.25. Expended—For property, No. 230 C s:reet. $22,500; repairs and alterations at time of purchase, $1,218.50, plumbing, $1,102.78: court expenses in connection with Mrs. Maulsby’s will, $64.05; fire escapes, $250; bronze plate, $110; furnishings, $560.89; gymnasium and dormitory, including gas fixtures and electric wiring, $5.552.83; con- creting part of cellar, jo. 230 C street. $62.11; steam heating, both buildings, $1,170: insurance, two years, $0: showing the en- tire amount expended, $32,650.25. “It is a matter of gratification to be able to state at this time that all that has been done, both in the purchase of the property and its improvement, and in the construc- tion of this building, has been paid for with the funds at our disposal; every bill has been paid in full; there are no vut- nding obligations of any kind. We do not ask the generous pecple of Washington for any money with which to pay old debts, but only to help us carry on this beautiful charity, by contributing to its current ex- . and for furnishing the building, h'we now have the satisfaction of turning over to the society complete.’ Among those who enjoyed the evening be sides those already mentioned were RK: Dr. and Mrs. T. S. Childs, Rev. and M Joseph Kelley, Rev. W. E. Alexander, Misses Childs, Miss Harlan, Mr. Crosby Mis: ira Noy M Mollie Day . B. F. Macfarland, Mrs. M.

The new building and the George Mauls- by Memorial Home, which, with the inter- vening play ground, occupied the large lot at the southeast corner of 3d and C streets northwe-t, represent an outlay of $3 the greater portion of which resulted from the bequest of $30,000 by Mrs. Anne Mauls- ¥, left to the society for the establishment of a memorial home to her husband. The expenditure of this large sum has been carefully guarded, and the result is that the realty secured by it is of splendid char- acter and sufficient for the buildings of the scciety for a long time to come.

This system has resulted in such improvement in the children that homes are always to be found for tho-e who get old enough to be of help to housekeepers, farmers, business men, and others, and many of the former inmates are now working for their own livings. That they take away with them and cher- ish tender recollections of the society, its home, and particularly the superintendent, Miss Wilson, is shown in letters which are ritten by them when they are far away.

For Idaho the claim is 18,000 majority. In 18M4 the total vote was 24,386; republican vote, 10,208; combined democratic and pop- ulist vote, 14,178; majority over republican vote, 3,070; this taken from the 18,000 claim leaves 14,030, to gain which would require the whole 10,208 republican votes of 1804 2 additional votes. Where will they get them? For Utah the claim is 40,000. in 1895 was: Populist, 2, democrat, a total of 20,570; republican vote, 20,883, a republican majority over all of #13. To get 40,000 majority they would have to wipe out the whoie republican majority, less 155. MERCHANT. SS For Destitute Children.
