An interesting meeting of the Columbia Historical Soctety was held last evening in the Columbian University hall. A large number of persons interested in the early history of the capital were present. Mr. A. R. Spofford presided. The evening was devoted to the presenta- tion of a paper by Mr. Tallmadge A. Lam- bert on “The Development of the Nation's Capital.” After Mr. Lambert's paper there was a discussion of the subject, partici- pated in by Mr. M. I. Weller and Prof. Mc- Gee, the latter mentioning General Wash- ington’s conception of a national untyer- sity, to which reference had been made in the paper. Mr. Lambert discussed the matter of the selection of a site for the scat of govern- ment, and gave it as his opinion that its location away from the great centers of trade and commerce and population was the logical consequence of the national idea of government, rather than from a fear of possible interference with the freedom of legislation. At the time of its location here, he said, there was in Georgetown a com- munity already fifty years old, with a cul- ture that was not inferior to that of the most prominent cities. He sketched the work of capital building, which, he said, prior to the war, did not keep pace with national progress. Poor sanitary arrangements existed, and the Po- tomac flats were a menace to the health of the community. Many interesting rem- iniscences of the period of the war were mentioned. Since that time, when dust storms swept the streets in summer, and in winter the thoroughfares were almost impassable because of the mud, and the really superior residences could readily be counted, Mr. Lambert said the capital's growth had been nothing short of phe- nomenal, and it had been sensitive to every economic influence that conld effect the general weal; the city had reflected in its social, moral and intellectual features every stage in the evolution of national advance- ment, manners, ethics and mental culture. —._—_. A Long Spree. John Neale, a well-dressed young white man, was sent to thé workhouse this morning by Judge Kimball for thirty days, his brother, G. C, Neale, being the only complainant. ‘ “He is continually drunk,” said the brother, “‘and we are ynable to do anything with him.” $ *, “Has he been on a spree?” asked the court. A, ed “Yes, sir.” a “For what length of: 6?" “For the past twenty-five years,” was the emphatic answer, # = “What have you got'to say?” asked the judge of John. © “I earn my money by: hard work,” was the reply. ‘What I spend is my own.” “‘How about this continual drunkenness: his honor wanted to hte “I get drunk,” admitted John. “How mi times each week?’ continued the court,’ or seven?” “No, indeed,” answered the man. “I’ve been sober for two weeks at a time.” “Bonds in the sum of $50 or thirty days.” John retired, murmuring, “It's pretty tough when your own brother goes back on you” Spares. , cee oa Guilford Grantte Company. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Guilford Granite Company, held at Guil- ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE Annual Meeting and the Installation of Officers, REVIEW OF THE WORK OF THE YEAR Steadily Increasing Membership of the Organization. SUCCESS WITH LEGISLATION ——__.—____ The annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia and installation of officers for the ensuing year was held last evening at the headquarters of the league, No. 623 Louisiana avenue, with President James L. Ewin in the chair and Mr. Jesse C. Suter, secretary. Delegates from twenty-eight organiza- tions were present; two new bodies being admitted at the meeting. These were the Christian Endeavor Society of Mount Pleasant Church and the Brotherhood of St. Andrew of Epiphany Mission. The del- egate from the latter was Mr. W. C. Mayo, and those from the former, Miss G. Nich- ols, Miss Ronsaville, Miss Ethel Waliace, Miss Bessie Jolly and Mr. Snow. The members of thc league were especially Pleased to admit Mr. Mayo, as he, repre- sents the first society of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew to make application for membership in the league. President James L. Ewin presented the follcwing report, which was adopted: “In reporting as president for the year 1896, I feel grateful for the steadily in- creasing co-operation on the part of the churches, the temperance societies and other crganizations which favor good gov- errment. “The report of the committee on co-op- eration will show, as I understand, a total of eighty-six bodies of citizens of the Dis- trict of Columbia affiliated in our league at the present time. The increase which was figured out for the year closing June 23, 1896, with our third anniversary, was twelve, an average of one per month, the total then being seventy. The increase of sixteen since then is at the rate of over two per month. ‘There remaineth yet very much land to be possessed,’ but we have great reason, I think, to congratulate our- selves cn the progress already made in enlisting those who should be united against the saloon. “Our constitution was amended in Feb- ruary, 1896, to provide for a press com- mittee among the standing committees, and Mrs. Mary M. North, who has been selected as its chairman for '{7, has filled this office since the committee was first formed. Otherwise the organization of the league has remained throughout the year as it was at the beginning, and there ap- bears to be little, if any, reason for modi- fying it. Incorporation of the League. “Early in the year the committee on leg- islation took up the subject of the incor- poration of the league, which had pre- viously been discussed, and the maiter was referred to a special committee con- sisting of Mr. Shoemaker, Mr. Wilson and Col. Vinal, and it was finally decided that inccrporation, under the general act would be of no_ material benefit to the leagu under the liquor law. as it, then stood, and arrangements were made to secure incorporation, if posible, by spe- celal act of Congress in order to secure such powers as are now possessed by the Humane Society of this. District and by the Law and Order League of Connecticut. The names of a number of prominent citi- zens were first secured to stand beside those of the members of the executive committee of the league as incorporators, and a carefully framed bill was then taken to both houses of Congress. It was in- troduced in the House April 29, 1896, by He Nelson Dingley, jr., as bill H. R. 8559, and in the Senate the next day by Senator Gallinger of Maine as bill S. 2005 The Lill having been referred to the Dis- trict Commissioners and adversely reported on by Attorney Thomas, a hearing before the Commissioners was requested and was granted June 5, 18%. A brief prepared by Mr. Wilson was filed that day, follow- ed the next day by another giving further particulars, and several communications on the subject have since been sent to the Commissioners, before whom the bills are still pending, so far as we are advised. Work Before Congress. “Our bill, H. R. 1888, introduced by Mr. Morse, December 16, 1895, and then referred to the committee on alcoholic liquor traffic, was called up in April, 1896, and on April 20 was argued before the committee by a full delegation from the league, assisted by Rev. Dr. Crafts of the reform bureau. It was reported by the committee May 14, with amendments, and, as you all know, came up ‘accidentally’ or providentially in the House and passed, after a brilliant fight on behalf of the league and its prin- ciples by Mr. Morse and other friends on the floor of the House, and by our commit- tee on legislation and other members of the league in the lobby. Since, it went to the Senate, December 15, 1806,and was referred to the committee on the District of Colum- bit, Senator McMillan, chairman, by whom it was referred to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia for their report. By the Commissioners it was referred to At- torney Thomas and the excise board, and both reports to the Commissioners were more favorable than we could have ex- pected, while they joined in opposing our amendments to sections 2, 5 and 6. A hear- ing was ‘had before the Commissioners Tuesday, December 29, and, as we are ad- vised by the newspapers, they have since reported the bill with immaterial amend- ments. For the excellent hearing accorded us, and for a favorable report, they de- serve our thanks, and have received, no doubt, the grateful appreciation of the be' ter class of the community practically without exception. It remains for the Sen- ate and President Cleveland to complete the good work. “A previous hearing was had before the House committee on alcoholic liquor traffic, April 22, 1896, in support of what is known as the National Temperance Society’s bill, H. R. 8072, providing for a national com- mission of inquiry, which was afterward favorably reported by the committee. Before the Excise Board. “The excellent work of our attorney before the excise board has been supplemented the present year by two open letters re- lating, respectively, to the license of the notorious Buena Vista Club under a new name, and the license of a so-called hotel within 400 feet of the Central Union Mis- sion. Naturally the medicine was not en- Joyed by the excise board, and it was not pleasant to administer it, but the effect we have reason to think has been wholesome. Such work would, however, amount to lit- tle, if anything, as would most of the pro- tests filed directly with the excise board by citizens, if it were not for the steady and laborious work of.our faithful attorney, Mr. Shoemaker, day by day, whose report has been relied on to more than supplement these remarks. ‘Work of the Year, “I find it impossible within the time at my command, both for dictation and for the reading of this report, to more than mention some of the other things which must at least be mentioned, each of which has, I think, more thoroughly convinced the community of the need of our league. “I refer to the truly great anti-saloon re- vival meetings held in October under the 4 address to the public was attempted. In addition to abundant descriptive letter- heads, the programs of the Beveridge con- certs, the third anniversary and the anti- saloon revival were utilized; an edition of 5,000 of an original law and rule leafiet was published, and its distribution begun in connection with the A. 8S. L. meetings: the letter to pastors, already mentioned, was neatly printed, together with pulpit notices of our mass meetings the interven- ing Sunday, and distributed to every pastor in the District—Catholic as well as Pro- testant, and both white and colored—and a printed invitation was sent to each out-of- town delegate to the national convention, inviting them to attend our business meet- ing of December 8. “The city newspapers have all treated us well. The Star deserves special mention for its illustrated ‘write-ups’ on the occa- sion of our third anniversary, and liberal as weil as courteous treatment throughout the year, manifesting an encouraging ap- preciation of widespread interest in the work of the league throughout the District. Clippings from the newspapers of their references the past year to the A. 8. L. of the District of Columbia would make a large and most interesting book, as Mrs. North's report will more fully show. “The work of the committee on literature and that of the committee on mass meet- ings has been touched upon in discussing other matters. Both have material for very interesting reports untouched. “Sincerely thanking all my fellow work- ers in the league for the privilege I have enjoyed the past year of laboring with them for the overthrow of the saloon, and expecting to celebrate with them some day a completed victory, I am “Your servant against the saloon, “JAMES L. EW. Meetings of the Y, Recording Secretary Suter in his report Stated that during the year ended Decem- ber 31, 1896, “the league has held twenty- three regular monthly meetings and one social session. The executive committee has held 48 regular meetings and one spe- cial meeting. The number of organizations in the league a: the beginning of the year was sixty-four.

Conference Between Commissioners and Assistant District Attorney. The Commissioners had an important conference with Assistant District Attor- ney Hugh Taggart upon several matters of interest to the District. Among them was the question of the title to Water street. Replying to a question as to when the Commissioners would likely hear from the court in the street extension cases, Mr. Taggart said an opinion was looked for every day. Commissioner Powell wanted to know what law, if any, permitted the Commis- sioners to lay off parks and reservations at the intersection of streets. Attorney Tag- gart replied that he knew of no law which Permitted it. Appointed Hospital Steward. Wilbur V. Leech has been appointed by Warden Leonard of the District jail as hespital steward at the sya The war- den has also appointed ward L. Rans- dell clerk of the Jail. Permanent Relief. A meeting of the subcommittee of the central relief committee appointed to coa- sider plans of permanent relief of the poor in Washington was held yesterday afternoon in the office of Surgeon General Sternberg. The chairman of the committee, Gen. Sternberg, and Bishop Satterlee, John Joy Edson, Dr. L. W. Ritchie and Secre- tary Geo. 8.

The patients have pains about the chest and’ sides, and sometimes im the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth bas a bad taste, eape- cially ip the morning. A sort of sticky slime col- lects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There ts feeling & heavy load on the stomach: some- thnes a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the Stomach which food does not satisfy. Eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become clammy, cold and feel After awhile a cough sets in, at first ary, but after a few months it is attended with a Ereenish colored expectoration. The patient fecls Hired all the while, and sleep does not seem to af- ford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forchodings ‘There fs a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation tn the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels Decome costive; the skin is dry and hot the blood becomes thick and stagnant: the whi of the eyes become tinged with yellow, the urine 1s scanty and high colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting np of the food, sometimes with a sour taste amd some tines with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes; there 4s a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated ft for a Liver Complaint, some for Dyspepsia, others for Kidney Disease, ete., ete., but none rious Kinds of treatment lave been at success, at times ed with Now, the Shaker Digestive Cordial causes the food eaten to be digested.

The cause for which the Cubans are struggling is the same for which our fathers fought in our war for independence. The Cubans have no voice in their government. and there is no such thing as a jury trial there. Taxation is unbearable. In 1894 $46,000,000 was wrung from the unfortunate Cubans and carricd to Spain, and the peasants and farmers are unable to stand the strain; hence the rebellion. When the present revolution broke out Cuba was being taxed to port an army of 14,000 men, while in real- ity there were less than 4,600, In the entire island there is not a Cu- ban or foreigner, except the Spanish, who is not in sympathy with the revolutionary movement. The cities are under control of the Spanish, but the whole country is under control of the insurgents. The plan of Gen. Weyler is not to subdue the Cu- bans, but to exterminate them. “Ten or twelve Americans are now con- fined in Morro Castle. I talked to San- guilly, an American citizen, who is sen- tenced to perpetual imprisonment in chains, He was arrested at his home in February, 1895, without having taken any part in the outbreak. The American consul interposed, and he secured a second trial, but in the meantime his chief witness, Coloma, was shot by order of Gen.Weyler, and his law- yer was imprisoned, and he was without witness or counsel. Vice Consul Springer informs me that at the second tria! there Was no evidence against Sanguilly, yet he Was sentenced to perpetual imprisonmeat in chains. “Spain cannot conquer Cuba. The time has come when delay on the part of the United States is unreasonable in the mat- ter of protecting the citizens of the United States now confined in Cuban prisons and also protecting American property and the $50,000,000 of American capital invested on the island. This is a duty we owe our citi- zens, We also owe a duty to humanity to stop the cruel slaughter now going on there.” Robbins, sos FIRST SKIRMISH AT HARRISBURG. Neither Side Willing to Admit That It Was a Test. The fight for United States senator be- tween Senator Boies Penrose and John Wanamaker will practically close this evening, when the joint republican caucus will be held. The first skirmish between the -rival candidates’ friends took place last night in the house republican caucus. Perry M. Lytle of Huntingdon was elected chairman over Ward R. Bliss of Delaware by a vote of 93 to 71. Neither side is will- ing io admit that this was a fair test of strength. The Penrose people generally, though, voted for Lytle, while Bliss re- ceived the support of many active Wana- maker members. The caucus was called to order by Wil- liam T. Marshall of Allegheny. After the election of a chairman, Henry K. Boyer of Philadelphia was nominated for speak Jere B. Rex of Huntingdon for chief clerk and A. D. Fetterolof of Montgomery for resident clerk. All the nominations were made by acclamation. A committee of eight was appointed to prepare a list of officers and subordinates of the house of representatives, to be presented to a cau- cus this morning. The house democratic caucus was held at the headquarters of the state democratic committee, with only one of the thirty- three members absent. William H. Long of York was chosen chairman. Michael J. Lennon of Allentown was nominated speak- er. James A. Sweeney of Hazleton was named for chief clerk, and John P. Doho- ney of Harrisburg for resident clerk. The legislature will likely adjourn Wednesday until Monday evening, January 1, to give the presiding officers time to make up the list of committees. Judge Donovan of the circuit court in Detroit yesterday morning sustained and made permanent the injunction heretofore granted restraining the board of county supervisors from proceeding with the erec- recently closed. The principal ground for the application for injunction was that im- proper influences were used in determining the selection of stone for the structure. SWIFT'S
