The Kenwood Baby Bag gives perfect freedom for feet and bands, for turning or moving in any way, but the clothes cannot ffy—the baby cannot be uncovered.

Georgetown Students Strive for Mer- rick Medal. The annual debate for the Merrick gold medal, the value of which is $100, was held last evening in the Gaston Memorial Hall of Georgetown University by four selected members of the Philodemic Society. Though the night was bad and disagreeable, one present in the hall would hardly have thought so, judging by the large number of people present, especially members of the fair sex. Every available seat on the main floor and gallery was occupied, and standing room was valuable. The large hall was a blaze of light, and gaily dec- orated for the occasion. While the exercises were scheduled to commence at 8 o'clock, there was a delay of nearly half an hour, the judges being delayed in making their appearance. The Glee Club of the university opened the pro- gram with De Koven’s “Old King Cole,” the rendition being excellent, and an encore was responded to. Maurice Brown Kirby of the class of '97 of this city, as chair- man of the debate, made a short introduc- tory address, in which he stated the ques- tion te be debated was: “Resolved, That it is the duty of the United States govern- ment to intervene in such a way as to ter- minate the present strife in Cuba.” The judges of the debate were Senator Tuomas H. Carter, Holmes Conrad, the solicitor general, and Ainsworth R. Spof- ford, librarian of Congress. They retired after the debate, and their decision was jianded to the rector of the university, Rev. J. Havens Richards, which will not be an- nounced until the annual commencement exercises of the institution in June. The medal is a permanent prize, be- queathed by the late Richard Merrick, formerly a student of the university, and prominent member of the local bar. While the Philodemic Society, under whose aus- pices the debate was held, was founded in 1830, the Merrick gold medal has been de- bated for twenty-two consecutive years. Charles Fallon Curley of Delaware, class of '97, opened the debate, taking the af- firmative side. The present war in Cuba, he thought, was one of extermination, and the intervention of this country would be a logical and humane step. He spoke of the various phases and conditions of the strife, and deplored that such should be the case. Benedict Francis Maher of Maine, class of "07, opened the negative side of the ques- tion, and his position was just the reverse of that of the first speaker. It was no affair of our own, and the Cubans were fighting for freedom and independence, in which this government should not inter- fere. This speaker appeared to be a favor- ite, and was looked upon by his school- mates as the winner. William Evans Fox of Ohio, class of '97, @ Prominent athlete of the university, took the closing affirmative side. He spoke of the condition of affairs, and the promises made by Spain to Cuba proved to be mere mockery. The treatment of the inhabitants of the island was sufficient for them to de- mand liberty or death, and hence it was apparently a war of extermination. Tim- othy Welch of Connecticut, class of ‘07, closed the negative side, and likewise the debate. His argument was good. This country had earned the reputation for the desire for peace and the avoidance of blood- shed, and the Cuban war afforded an op- portunity for putting these practices into practical éxecution. Ss Interspersing the addresses of the speak- ers were selections by the clubs of the university. The mandolin and banjo clubs rendered “Happy Days in Dixie,” after which the banjo club gave “Autumnal Fes- tivities,” by Planque. The Mandolin Club gave the march of the university, composed by Mr. Callan, “The Blue and ine, ‘90. Arrangemen: . D. W. O’Donogh: ;_J. BD. Sullivan, J. 8. MoNs .. W. A. Mac- Mahon, '98; D.

The following cases were disposed of by Mayor Thompson in the police court this morning: Edward Jackson, Thomas McDermott, Frank McCarthy, James Corbin, Thomas Beckworth, Harry Hicks, William Bowers, Jas. Oder, Frank Flannagan, Oliver Ford and Frank Everett, and Moses Hamiett, colered, arrested by Officers Knight and Lyles, upon the charge of trespassing on the property of the Southern Railway Com- pany, were ordered to leave the city within an hour.

Raided a Tramp Camp. Complaint has frequently been made at police headquarters of the large number of tramps who congregate in the yards of the Southern Railway Company in this city and make themselves obnoxious to the men employed there, as well -as destroy the property of the company. Yesterday after- noon Officers Knight and Lyles made a descent upon a camp ef tramps and cap- tured nineteen of the men and took them to the station house. In the gang were seven Italians with hand organs and mor- keys. These fellows stated that they were on their way to their homes in Washingion and they were allowel to proceed last night. The other twelve were locked up ard this morning were taken before Mayor Thompson, who ordered them to leave the city within an hour.or they would be ar- rested again and placed on the bread and water diet. Held for Fairfax County Authorities. Alonzo Simms, a well known character in this clty, was arrested yesterday after- noon by Constable William Webster upon the charge of being implicated in the rob- bery of the store of Mr. George Ayers, in this city. Upon being searched at the station house a pistol was found upon him, but a different make from those stolen from Mr. Ayers. Luter it was found out that the residence of Mr. Walter Moore in West End had been entered and a num- ber of things stolen. Mr. Moore came to the station house and identified the pis- tol found cn Simms as his property. Simms was taken before the mayor this morning, and after hearing the evidence he was held for the Fairfax county authorities. Lodges Celebrate Washington’s Birth- day. There were several patriotic banquets given in this city last night in honor of Gen. George Washington's birthday. The Young Men's Sodality Lyceum gave an oyster roast in their hall on Duke street, which was largely attended. Belle Haven Council, Je. O. U. A. M., gave a_ banquet at Odd Fellows’ Hall on North Columbus strect, which was attended by the mem- bers of the two other councils of the order in this city. In -he Mascnic Temple a tempting feast had been prepared for the lodge’ in honor of Washington's birthday. During the evening several addresses were made on the life of Washington by promi- nent Masons. Funeral of Mr. Francii The funeral of the late Emanuel Francis will take piace from his late residence on South St. Asaph street tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. Mr. Francis was in the seventy-eighth year of his age and at one time was a prominent brick manufac- turer. He was born in Island of Madeira, but has lived fn this city since his child- hoo@. He was a man highly respected by all who knew him, and leaves a large num- ber of friends who will regret to hear of his death. Mr. L. E. Payne Recovert Dr. M. W. O'Brien of this city yesterday received a letter from the Pasteur Insti- tute In New York, stating that the guinea pigs which were on the 8th instant inocu- lated with the virus of the dog which bit Mr. L. E. Payne of Fairfax county, died on the 18th instant. The letter further states that Mr. Payne, who is still at that insti- tute, is doing as well as could be expected. Stole Produce. Some unknown thieves broke into the store of Mr. Milk Kell, on lower King street, last night and stole a lot of produce, chickens, etc. No clue has yet been ob- taized as to the thief. Virginin’s Law as to Vagrants. Justice Supplee, referring to criticisms made on his official action as a justice of the peace, in the county of Alexandria, in sentencing Henry Brown, a non-resident vagrant, to sixty days in jail, “to be kept in close confinement and fed on bread and water,” says that the two statutes which exclusively govern the case pul it beyond the power of a Virginia court to sentence a vagrant to jail without also sentencing him “to be kept in close confinement aud fed on bread and water.” The punishment is the one specifically provided by law, and the justice has no cption. General and Personal Notes. Miss Ficklin has been placed in charge of the school taught by the late Miss Maggie Price, and Miss Bowie, a substitute, has been placed in charge of Miss Ficklin’s school. There are several applicants for the vacancy caused by the death of Miss Price. Mr. Pearson Chapman left yesterday for McAlester, Indian territory, where he has secured a position in the government sur- vey. Rev. Clarence E. Ball of Grace Church, this city, is mentioned as likely to be called to Christ Church, Washington. Misses Estelle and Beader Lethbridge of Orange, N. J., are the guests of Miss Ida Watkins at her home in West End.
