The same body suggests the adoption of a common money unit, and urges that gold standard countries be invited to adopt such a unit. The Boston Merchants’ Associa- tion recommends uniform state insolvent laws, and the Philadelphia board of trade a national bankruptcy law.

A PICTURESQUE FEATURE Indians Will Participate in the Inaugural Procession. Gen. Porter and His Assistants Com- ing to Washington—The National League of Republican Clubs. ‘The proposition of the civic. committee to secure the attendance of a number of Indians from western tribes to participate in the inaugural parade, which was warmly approved by the executive commit- tee and Grand Marshal Porter, seems to be in a fair way of being carried out, and the indications are that about one hundred and fifty red men will appear in line. The fea- ture is expected to be extremely interest- ing and picturesque, as the Indians will march in their own distinctive dress, with all the paint and ornaments they wear on gala occasions. The effort to secure the Presence of the students from Carlisle has not abated, and {t ts very likely that these young Indians who are being advanced so rapidly up the plane of civilization will appear In conjunction with the representa- tives of their race who have had none of the advantages enjoyed by themselves. Public Comfort Arrangements. Chairman Wright's report today from the public comfort committee showed that ac- commodations for 26,488 persons had been registered and inspected, and places re- corded where meals alone could be secured for 10,165. Three hundred and seventeen windows along the line of parade have been put on the Ist, and 1303 horses re- ported as obtainable for parade purposes. The General Guy V. Henry Garrison, No. 43, Regular Army and Navy Union, of this city, has applied for a position in the in- augural parade. General Porter, Colonel Corbin and Mr. A. Noel Blakeman will be at headquarters tomorrow and Thursday, and it is expected that additional developments regarding the plan of the parade will be made during their stay. President D. D. Woodmansee of the Na- tional League of Republican Clubs will also reach the city from Cincinnati tomor- row to consult with General Porter and Chairman B. H. Warner, who is also mar- shal of the civic division, over the vartici- pation of league clubs in the parade, Finance Committee and Ball Tickets. At the meeting of the finance committee last night Chairman John W. Thompson arnounced that $32,156.25 of the guarantee fund of $53,625 had been paid in. The re- maining installments on subscriptions will be due February 1 and 15. It was expect- ed that the committee would arrange plans for the sale of ball and concert tickets at the meeting, but the small attendance of members prevented such action. From the proceeds of these tickets it is expected the expenses of the inaugural celebration will be fully met, so that the guarantee fund will be returned to its sub- ribers, and consequently the most ap- propriate method of disposing of them will be sought. It is believed that the plan followed eight years ago by the late Geo. E. Lemon, who was then chairman of the finance committee, to allow no ticket to leave the custody cf the committee until pald for in cash when received, will be again adopted. By this system there is no chance for loss by reason of the failure of agenis to make returns for tickets put in their charge nor yor delay in settling ac- counts such as would necessarily follow where tickets were placed in many different places for sale. ————— The Beneficence of Extravagance. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Referring to an article in your issue of the 25th instant, it strikes me as most mistaken judgment to protest against dis- plays of extravagance because of need among the poor. The best way for the rich to use their money is to spend it. No one would be willing to make a gift out- right of such amounts, which, in any event, would be a most mistaken kindness. There can be no greater charity than to assist others to make an honorable living, and self-respecting poverty wishes work, not alms. Every large entertainment con- tributes to the support of thousands, en- courages business enterprise and distrib- utes a large amount of money which would otherwise remain in the pocket of the owner. Each person attending this much- talked-of ball will contribute to the support of dressmaker, tailor, jeweler, cabman and many others, all striving to make a living and unable to do so without patronage. They tn turn will be enabled to employ oth- ers, or pay their debts, co that money thus spent does good to the farthest degree. It appears to me the rich should be encour- aged by all means to be as extravagant as possible, most especially in “hard times.” S. —— Things Worth Knowing. .

The police made forty-eight arrests yes- terdey and last night, seven arrests hav- ing been made for intoxication. One of the seven arrested on this charge was a man named Yates, who was found near the Baltimore and Potomac depot.

TO BE AN ORNA- ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Trying to Prove Mr. Doniphan Had a d Pistol. THE MAYOR'S COURT A FARCE IN The Trial Ends in the Discharge of the Defendant. OTHER MATTERS OF INTEREST aoe Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington street. ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 26, 1897. It took Mayor Thompson just twelve hours to make up his mind to discharge from custody A. S. Doniphan, who was ar- rested on a charge of carrying concealed weapons in the city of Alexandria. The charge was brought against him by Con- stable Will Webster in the police court Saturday, and the case was continued until Monday night. That the case was trumped up against Doniphan, growing out of a de- sire to persecute an agent of The Star and an active member of the Citizens’ Law and Order League, seemed very clear at the trial last night. Mr. Doniphan was repre- sented by Mr. James R. Caton and Judge L. D. Yarrell. Constable Webster, the first witness, stat- ed that Will Bailey made the complaint to him, and he had sworn out the warrant. Bailey, it will be remembered, was the only witness in the case Saturday night, and it was continued for want of evidence. Geo. Chichester testified that Bailey had called his attention to the pistol in Doniphan's pocket; that he had walked up behind Doniphan and put his hand on it, and was positive it was a pistol. Chichester said he had seen a pistol in Doniphan’s pocket on more ‘han one occasion. Ed. Julius, a colored man, the next wit- ness called, said that he had seen Mr. Doniphan leave the court room on the night in question, and that Bailey had call- ed his attention to the fact that Mr. Doni- phan had a pistol in his pocket. On cross- examination by Mr. Caton he stated that he did not see a pistol on Mr. Doniphan. J. W. Yates testified last night that he had seen Doniphan with a pistol in his pocket on more .than one occasion, but could not say that Doniphan had ever carried a pistol in Alexandria. Will Bailey, a colored man, employed at the St. Asaph race track, to which place it is rumored the policy business recently ecnducted in this city has been removed, took the stand and told about the same story as he did Saturday night, an ac- count uf which appeared in last night's Star. Mr. Doniphan was then put on the stand in his own defense, :nd reiterated his de- nial of Saturday night. Mr. Doniphan stated that he came to town to attend the trial of the policy men, which was held in the corporation court room, and did not have a pistol on his person. He told cf buying some fruit, and the bag bursting, and his belng compelied to use all his pockets to stuff the fruit in. J.W. May testified that he sat on the night in question alongside of Doniphan, whose overcoat was off. Doniphan got up once vr twice, he said, and witness was am, able to see a pistol if Doniphan had ii but he did not s2e one. “But I did see t fellow Julius tampering with witnesses in the policy cases,” said Mr. May. Mr. W. H. F. Beckham testified that he had knowr Doniphan several years; had never seen a pistol on Doniphan in Alex- andria, but kad seea a red leather note book hundreds of mes in his right hip pocket; that this book stuek out, and might Lieut. Smith said he saw Doniphan on the night in question, but did not see a pistol on him; said it was next to impossible for any one to say that any man did have a pistol. “I have a pistol in my pocket,” said the lieutenant, as he leaned carelessly over the rail, “but no one could see it or swear to it.” Mr. Frank Marbury said he sat next to Doniphan and saw no pistol. “Do you think you were in a position to see a pistol if Mr. Doniphan had it in his pocket?” asked Mr. Caton. ** you don't think he had one 5 said Mr. Marbury. Mr. Rucker of Alex- andria county said he had known Doniphan for thirteen years and had never seen him with a pistol. “I knew that Mr. Doniphan was agent for The Star and often made large collections, and I wondered why he did not carry a pistol for protection. Doni- phan has often told me that his crutches were his only weapon.” J. E. Supplee testified that he was with Doniphan on the night in question and was positive that Doniphan had no pistol. Mr. Supplee testified that he had seen Doniphan stuff the fruit in his pockets and had ampie opportunity of seeing a pistol had there been one in his hip pocket, as charged. R. E. Knight testified that he had often seen Doniphan empty his pockets, looking for bills, but had never seen him take out a pistol. The attorneys presented the case to the mayor without argument, and to the great surprise of those who heard the testimony Mayor Thompson announced that he woul reserve his decision until this morning. Frank McLaren, who is serving a sen- tence of sixty days in jail, with a fine of $250, for promoting policy and gambling, and Edward Shoch, who is serving thirty days in jail with a $50 fine, on the same charge, were released from jail by Mayor Thompson to appear as witnesses in the case against Doniphan, but they were not called. They sat on the bench in front of the mayor’s desk during the trial, and were sent back to the jail as soon as the trial was over. John Clark’s Case. The case of John Clark, charged with running a gambling house in Alexandria county, which was appealed from Justice Supplee of Alexandria county, who fined Clark $250 and sentenced him to ninety days in jail, will come up for trial in the Alexandria county court before Judge Chi- chester tomcrrow morning, and some in- teresting facts will be the result. The case, as presented before Justice Supplee, is said to have been made much stronger by se- curing additional valuable testimony. There is a quiet rumor to the effect that some sensational features will come out at the trial. Citizens’ League members and their attorneys are non-communicative on the subject, but the smoke can be smelled, and the blaze is bound to break out ere long. Members of the Citizens’ League say that they are more determined than ever to break up the lawlessness in Alexandria country, which has existed so long vir- tually under tke protection of the law. Corporation Court. The criminal cases in the corporation court have been set for trial as follows: Albert Yarboe and Ernest Travers, breaking and entering a car and stealing a watch from Mr. Harry Smoot, February 8; Ruth Carroll, infanticide, January 29; J.

Wanted to Measure the Weather. Moses Comfort, a well-known colored man in police circles, was arrested by Offi- cer Roberts this morning, upon a warrant sworn out by Mr. Charles Fisher, charging him with stealing a thermometer from his residence on South Washington street: When searched at the station house the thermometer was found in his coat pocket. When asked by the officer where he had se- cured the thermometer, he said that he had found it in an ash barrel.
