Provisions of the Measure That Was Reported to the House Today. The conferees on the bill (House No. 5490) to license billiard and pool tables in the District of Columbia have reached an agreement after several months’ effort. The bill was reported to the Senate one year ago yesterday and the agreement was re- ported to the House today. The bill as agreed upon is in full as fol- lows: That from and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any person or perscns to keep any billiard table, baga- telle table, shuffleboard, jenny lind table, pool table or any table upon which legiti- mate games are played in any saloon, room or place of business within the District of Colu:nbia for public use or for profit or gain, without a license therefor first had ard obtained from the assessor of the Dis- trict of Columbia. = Sec. 2. That every person taking out such licerse shall pay to the collector of taxes of said District a license fee of $12 per annum for each table. Said license may be granted or refused, in the discretion of the assessor of said District, and all li- censes so granted shall date from the first day of the month in which the Ha- bility began and expire on the 31st day of October in each year: Provided, That In all cases of refusal of said assessor to grant said license, or upon written protest of a majority or more of the property owners or residents of the block in which it is proposed to grant such license, an appeal may be taken to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, whose de- cision shall be final. “Section 3. That every person who shall own, keep, or use any Dilliard table, baga- telle table. pool table, or any table or board of the kind mentioned ir. the first section of this act, for public use or profit without such license first had and obtained, shall, on conviction in tke Police Court, be fined $20 or imprisoned not exceeding three months for each offense, or both, in the discretion of the court. “Section 4. That it shall not be lawful for the proprietors of billiard tables, pool tables, bagatelle tables, Jenny Lind tables or other tables of the kind mentioned in the first section of this act, shuffle boards and bowling alleys, kept for public hire and gain in the District of Columbia, to sell or to allow to be sold in the same room spirit- uous, vinous or malt liquors, and all such places shall be closed during the entire twenty-four hours of each and every Sun- day and also during the hours that bar reoms are required to be closed. Any per- son violating the provisions of this section shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not less than $} nor more than #40 and shall in addition forfeit his or her li- cerse in the discretion of the Commission- ers of the District of Columbia. “Section 5. That all laws or parts of laws inconsistent with this act be, and the same are hereby, repealed.” PETITION GRANTED. Interesting Patent Decision Rendered by Judge Cole. In the case of United States ex. rel. Albert B. Nelson vs. the Commissioner of Patents Justice Cole of the Supreme Court of the District, late yesterday afternoon granted the petifion for a writ of man- damus to compel the commissioner to re- stcre the application of Nelson to the files of the office and proceed with its consider- ation under the rules and statutes. This is considered by attorneys one of the most important decisions ever ren- dered effecting the rights, powers and du- ties of the commissioner. Nelson had filed an application in due form, which had been received and examined in regular order by the appropriate division of the office. The invention had been found to be patentable, but certain matters relating to the drawing were held by the examiner to be objec tienable, and certain modifications were re- quired. ‘The attorney disputed the correct- ness of the examiner’s position, and con- tended that the drawings were in proper form and sufficient. The examiner insist- ed upon his requirement, and in answer the attorney filed a drawing which the ex- aminer held was frivolous and trifling with the dignity of the office, and returned the drawing, insisting that his require- ment be properly complied with. From this fon of the examiner the applicant, by his atterney, took a petition to the com- missioner in person, as by rule he was privileged to do, and asked his personal judgment on the questions involved. The commissioner, it was contended, instead of ruling on the questions presented to him made an order to the effect that the appli- cation had been prosecuted in a manner to entitle it to no consideration, and_or- dered it struck from the files of the office, repeating the order after a rehearing of the petition. Then Nelson filed his_peti- ticn in the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus. Justice Cole rendered an exhaustive opinion, holding that the commissioner had exceeded his authority under the stat- utes and rules, which gave him no such power as this act assumed, and granted the writ prayed for, and gave judgment against the commissioner for costs. Mr. E. W. Bradford appeared for Nelson and Mr. J. M. McGrath for the commis- sicner. —_— VAN RISWICK CASE. More Testimony Introduced Will Trial. Hearing of the Van Riswick will case was resumed today before Judge McComas in Cireuit Court No. 2, a large number of persons testifying in support of the va- lidity of the will. Perhaps the principal witness was Dr. W. W. Johnston, who at- tended Mrs. Van Riswick during her last illness, and also at the time she was af- dicted with the grip. The latter, said Dr. Johnston, was by no means severe, and did not impair her mental faculties. For a woman of her age, seventy-seven years, Dr. Johnston considered Mrs. Van Riswick in exceptionally good health, she being af- fected with no organic troubles. Nellie Quinlan explained that the rela- tions existing between Mrs. Van Riswick and Mrs. Lambert were exceedingly pleas- ant. The testimony of Mr. L. P. Shoe- maker and the others called to the stand was to the effect that the deceased was a woman of decidedly independent views and opinions. in the —— RETURNED FROM ROME. Fathers Mackin and Gleyd Home Again. Rev. James T. Mackin, pastor of St. Paul's, and Rev. John Gloyd, pastor of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic churches, have returned from thelr Journey to Rome, where they accompanied Archbishop Keane. The reverend gentlemen reached New York Tuesday, and have since been in Baltimore. Father Mackin will arrive in Washington at 5 o'clock this evening, with a commit- tee of his parishioners, who went to Bal- timore to escort him to this city, and will be met at the Baltimore and Ohio depot by an additional committee. Upon arriving at the parish Lome, 1425 V street northwest, Father Mackin will be given an informal reception by the mem- bers of his congregation. Died Suddenly. Daniel Brown, who has been employed as @ teamster for many years past by the Washington Brick Company, fell from the wagon he was driving about noon today, while getting ready to leave the works, and died on his way to the Washington Asylum, where he was being taken in the police ambulance. The body was removed to Brown's late home, in Schott’s court, and Coroner Hammett was notified. ————s A Talk on the Moqui Indians, “Life Among the Moqui Indians” is the subject of a talk to be given by Dr. J.

THE HAWAIIAN = REPUBLIC Mii x a Great Deal,to Its Future. ne fi L Done Without Delay. i Y —> ++ The arrival of At\orney General Smith of the Hawaiian republic ‘at San Francisco, on his way to this city en an important mission from his gdyernment, is thought to mean a great deal as tothe future of the republic. Mr. Smith is accompanted by Lorin A. Thurston, formerly Hawaiian min- ister to this country, and the two are com- ing here to consult with Minister Hatch. They are coming here to do all they can to forward the question of annexation, and Mr. Smith believes that a great deal of valuable time can be saved by visiting this country personally. Minister Hatch, when seen by a Star re- Porter this .acrning, had not received a telegram from Secretary Smith announcing his arrival at San Francisco, but is expect- ing one. The statement that Mr. Smith has come to this country on private information of an important character sent him by Minister Hatch is not true. Mr. Smith is one of the most prominent men on the islands. He was attorney general under Lilioukalani, and was for years president of the board of health of Honolulu, which is an important office. It is not thought that the presence of Lilioukalant here has had anything to do with the coming of Mr. Smith. Minister Hatch has not bothered himself to report her presence in Washington. The lack of cable communication between this coun- try and Honolulu has prevented messages being sent giving in detail the movements of the ex-queen and her escort. There was an idea in some quarters that the move- ments of the ex-queen here had created alarm, and that this might have induced the hurried departure of Secretary Smith, who is understood to have full power from his government to act in any way in the matter of annexation or of closer rela- tions between the two countries. The coming of Mr. Smith is thought to be the outgrowth of the impatience of the supporters of the present government for annexation with the United States. The republic has been in existence four years, and the delay in action has worked the, people to a fever heat. Meetings have been held all over the islands during the last few months, and strong resolutions in favor of annexation have been passed. It is said that a number of prominent con- verts to the cause of a free government have been received at these meetings. Something Must Be Done. The true situation, it is said, is that something must be done in a short time. Things cannot go along as now. The peo- ple want annexation. From the best kind of a source it is said that the impression which prevails in this country that the re- public is able to run along as now is erro- neous. Closer relations of some kind must be had with this country. There is no in- tention that the ex-queen shall ever regain her power in the islands, but the failure of this country to give some kind of recogni- tion to the republic means a material change of some sort. It may mean, it is said, that many of the laborers and me- chanics at Honolulu will leave for other fields. They are the most ardent support- ers of the republic. Z A Contest is on Hand. The coming of Mr. Smith and the instal- lation of the ex-queen in permanent apart- ments at the Cairo are strong evidences that there is a contest on hand between the two elements before .the next administra- tion. At.the very inception of his adminis- tration President-elect, McKinley will be confronted with the Hawajan situation in the strongest sense. He will have to deal with representatives of the government and of Lilioukalani, Congress will also be be- seiged by the same influencés. If something is not done within the ngxt few months the situation on the fslandy is expected Lo alter, It is now belieyed that the appar- ently innocent visit of Lilioukalani to this couftry was minus innocence, and was fully and thoroughly planned. The ex- queen is Kere on diplomatic business. It is cruelly insinnuated that the bills of the ex-queen at the Shoreham were too heavy, and that her change of quarters was for the purpose of cutting expenses. A gen- eral impression has prevailed that the ex- queen is in comparatively affiuent circum- stances, and that she is drawing a pension from the republic of which she was once queen of something like $30,000 a year. The fact is that she doesn’t get a cent from the government. Kaiulani, her niece, is given a pension of $2,500 a year. The ex-queen is now existing on her savings and on advances on her personal Property and real estate in the islands. She owns considerable real estate. The “Duke” Uncommunicative. For the first time since he has been here “Duke” Palmer, secretary to “her high- ness,” declined to talk today about the coming of Secretary Smith. It is not known whether this is because his mind is still weighted down with tae horrible ideas of the assassination of “her majesty,” to which he gave publicity a few days ago, or to something else. The “duke” and Financial Secretary Helelue went out for an airing this morning, and were strolling along Pennsylvania avenue when they were met by a reporter for The Star. It may have been that the secretary was averse to talking to ordinary mortals away from the “royal” apartments, or it may have been from some other reason that he bastily raised himself on his toes and whispered something in the ear of Hele- lue, whose features immediately showed alarm. At any rate, “Duke” Palmer an- swered the first question asked him with, “We haven’t a word to say.” He admitted that he had read of the landing of Secretary Smith, but had no cemment to make. The “duke” hastened away as soon as possible, and stated that it was probable that “her majesty” and suite would go out to lunch and would not be at home to newspaper reporters. Robberies Reported. Burglars continue active, and there were two cases of house-breaking reported to the detective office this morning. The resi- dence of A. J. K. Mubbard, 213 H- street northeast, was entered between midnight and 6 o'clock this morning, and black cloth overcoat and a derby hat were taken. Mr. Hubbard thinks an entrance was gained by using a duplicate key. ‘The shoe shope of Thomas O'Dowd, 801 I street northwest, was entered last night and six pairs of shoes, which had been left with him for repairs, were stolen. Ad- mittance was gained ‘by fércing the front Katie Kibbs, who conducts a grocery store at 1206 10th street, complained to the police this morning thet :wo colored men entered her store last hight ond usked for some coal. While she was getting the coal for them one 1Of, them: walked behind the er and stole the money drawer, con- taining $4.50 in mongy, agg several insur- ance papers. —~i oe Comstructio#iof 4 Will. Mary McLean LidioW, by Attorney Henry E. Davis, this ‘itefhoon filed a bill in equity, naming edefick Hamilton Bugher as defendant,,and @sking that the court construe the wiil off the late Aaron H. Bugher, who died uné 36, 1889. - By reason of the attdjnmplit by Frederick H. Bugher of his majorjty, it 1s set forth that a guardian for him is no longer neces- sary, and by reason of the full discharge of her duties as executrix of the will men- tloned a new administrator is no longer necessary. Mrs. Ludiow’ isin doubt whether by virtue of the terms of the will the appointment of any other trustee is necessary, and hence the filing of the bill. ——— Nebraska's Funds. Gov. Holcomb of Nebraska yesterday sent to the legislature a special message asking for the appointment of a committee to investigate the affairs of the state treas- urer. He points out that more than a mil- Honiend, aaa een tates money is-stili held a retiring te treasurer, Bartley, and that a half million dollars has been un- accounted for to +s the new treasurer, Me- MOTHERS’ CONGRESS (Continued from Third Page.) much of his attention to child life and methods of child training among the Zunis. The right of the mother comes first, said, and that of the father second. This is the basis of social organization among the tribes. It was a mistake, he said, to regard prim- itive peoples as savages. They were sim- ply children and belonged to the childhood of our race. Yet today the little mothers of the Zunis, in disposition and modes of mind, are the truest representatives on earth of what our gentle mothers used to be in the morning of man’s creation. With the Zunis the mother was first, not last. She was the center of the family. To her belonged the honor and the fame of the clan. Her children belonged to her. They though first of all of the mother. Mr. Cushing related several stories to show the veneration of the Zuni children for their mothers, and also several pretty Indian legends of motherhood. He sang a Zuni lullaby, which was heartily applauded. Mothers of the Submerged World. “Mothers of the Submerged World” and “Day Nurseries” were the subjects as- signed to Mrs. Lucy 8. Bainbridge of New York city, who talked for some little time in a most interesting and entertaining manner of the condition of the poor wo- men of the submerged tenth and the diffi- culties they encountered in the care and de- velopment of their children. She said that as a rule the question in that sphere of life is whether it shall be a cake of soap or loaf of bread. As a rule the bread is bought and the child is put to sweeping, where a good hard scrubbing is needed. Fondness for luxuries is just as strong in this social stratum as in any other, and the result is that when a mother has a lit- tle money to spend she is likely to waste it on some tawdry ornaments rather than on the principal necessities of life or com- forts. The first need that one encounters in dealing with people in this submerged world is that of elevating the woman at tke head of the household. Mothers should be taught to gain and keep the respect of their children. “‘Moth- ers should not lie to children, and that is done in the upper as well as the lower world.” Another thing to be done was to establish a course of reading for mothers. “One woman told me,” said the speaker, “my Jimmie thinks more of me because I know something of his lessons.” The solu- tion of the question of the amelioration of the condition of the people of the subworld was personal visitation, instruction from house to house and heart to heart. The aid shduld not begin first with the Bible, but with the care of the body. An- other important thing was to teach moth- ers cooking; to tell them what to do with old bread and odds and ends. Bologna Sausage, bread and strong coffee was no nutriment for babies. Poor people could not be told how to lve, they must be per- suaded. Kindergarten Work. Miss Amalie Hofer of Chicago, who is an authority on the subject of kindergarten work, discussed the question “What the Kindergarten Means to Mothers.” She said that when we speak of a kindergarten we naturally think of the kind with which we are familiar, recalling the placid faces of the children and remembering it as a pret- ty sight. We often hear, she said, that Kindergarten philosophy 18 hard to under- stand. Its main and fundamental notion is not to inform children, but to appear In ti. presence of a child a pattern of which it is to become. Color is taught by pure colors. Lessons in nature are given in a large and general way. All so-called lessons are presented from a simple standpoint.” Miss Hefer proceeded to outline modern kinder- garten work, and declared that a kinder- garten education was an economical one. It started children in life on the right course, and was the greatest social eco- nomical institution of the day. Continuing, Miss Hofer said that when che kindergar- ten system became general in the public schools it would accomplish great things for the country, and would be a daily re- minder to those in power that their duty Was to stand as examples for their charges. Parental Reverence. “Parental Reverence as Taught in He- brew Homes” was the subject of a paper by Mrs. Rebekah Kohut, one of the most eharming and interesting speakers who have yet addressed the congress. She said that in Jewish households ihe little child was taught to utter a prayer on rising each morning and before each meai. Honoring the father and mother becume the second nature of a child. The teaching, “cursed be he who despiseth his father and moth- er,” was strongly impressed on the infant mind. When the father of a household was called to the synagogue to read the law the son arose and stood in silence. After the Sabbath services the father returned, and placing his hands on his children’s heads blessed them, thus impressing with his moral responsibility. In closing Mrs. Ko- hut said: ‘The obstacles between the Jew and the Gentile have been removed, and we find ourselves now standing side by side in the endeavor to ameliorate the condition of mankind.” At the conclusion of the afternoon ses- sion an hour was given to a question box, and Mrs. Ellen Richardson of Boston was introduced as the leader of the meeting. A number of questions with reference to various phases of the care and education of children were presented, and a number of women in the audience who were rec- ognized as authorities on the various sub- Jects were called upon to repiy to them. It was a most entertaining and valuable fea- ture of the program of the day. ‘The Evening Session. At the evening session there was another very large audience, so large that extra chairs had to be placed in every available position, and yet a number of women were compelled to stand throughout the session. The first paper of the evening was pre- sented by Mrs. W. F. Crafts of this city, superintendent of the Sunday school de- partment of the world’s W. C. T. U., and president of the International Primary Union of Sunday School Teachers. She spoke at some length of the pressing need for a greater interest on the part of pa- rents generally in the work of their chil- dren at school, when away from their di- rect influence. In the course of her ad- dress she said: “Parents, particularly mothers, should put in the list of their solemn obligations: Frequent visitation of the schools attended by their children, thorough acquaintance with the teachers of their children, co-op- eration with the school plans. As mothers have given a science to education, it would be well to give mothers places upon school boards, as is done in London and other large cities. What mothers might be able to accomplish may be shown somewhat by telling what one mother has been able to do. Mrs. Mary H. Hunt of Boston, through whose efforts scientific temperance in- struction concerning the effect of alcohol and narcotics upon the human system, has been secured to 16,000,000 of children in the public schools of forty-two states and all of the territories. If one mother could do so much, what might not the whole glo- tious company of mothers do? Surely they might get the Bible back into our schools, which is one of the greatest needs of the hour. “The Sunday school, as well as the secu- lar school, needs the co-operation of moth- ers and homes. Let no mother adopt the laisser faire theory in relation to either the secular or the Sunday school, on the ground of having ‘no time.’ To do so would be equivalent to saying: ‘I am so busy with temporalities I have no time for eternities.’ ” Value of Music. “The Value of Music in the Development of Character” was the theme of Rev. W. A. Bartlett of Lowell, Mass. “We have passed,” said Mr. Bartlett, “from the barbarism of music. It is no longer an accomplishment. It is a path- way to God. Melody is power. When the head of a reform schood tells us that ‘songs in the mouths of unruly boys are more ef- fective than switches around their legs,” we are reminded how the unruly horde of Israelites began their new life with the songs of triumph. “Some of us can testify that a sweet- faced, heaven-voiced sang to us while we were carried on a tender bosom so long ago, and in the moments of weari- The W.C T.
