An There was not even standing room last evening in the Congregational Church,when thirty-four graduates of the medical, dental and pharmaceutical departments of How- ard University, representing the classes of ‘97, with dignified tread and clad in the characteristic college cap and gown, mount- ed the platform to the tuneful strains of Fanciulli’s “Progress March,” to be formal- ly ushered from school into the busy world. Among the number were three young white women and a native of far-away Japan. As they took their seats a really inspiring scene met the eyes of the graduates. In every seat, and on every inch of floor space, both down stairs and in the gallery, were massed the friends of the young people. Bright spring costumes predominated,while the decorations consisted solely of the na- tional colors, huge American flags hanging in graceful folds from ,the walls and the gallery rail. The front of the platform was a veritabie bower of flowers, Members of the Faculty. In addition to the gradutes there were on the platform: Rev. J. Eames Rankin, president of the university; Dr. Thomas B. Hood, the dean of the faculty; Dr. F. J. Shadd, secretary and treasurer of the uni- versity; Dr. Charles B. Purvis, who ad- Gressed the graduates, and Rev. Dr. Lea- vitt, pastor of All Souls’ Church. Directly behind the platform, in the first row of the choir gallery, were members of the.faculty, as follows: Neil FE. Graham, M. D.; Daniel S. Lamb, A. M., M. D.; William H. Seaman, A. M., M.

Davis,-R. 8. Lamb. Address by Dr. Purvis. When all had been seated, Rev. Dr. Leavitt invoked the divine blessing, and after the rendition of the intermezzo from “Cavelleria-Rusticana,” Dr. Purvis deliver- ed scholarly address, teeming with good advice, common sense and wit. He said in ith you I rejoice tonight. A com- mencement day, a day of graduation, is no ordinary one for a young man or woman. To have one’s friends assemble, to have the public turn out and in the presence of a multitude of witnesses to have the rep- resentative head of an institution of learn- ing to confer a degree, to present a diplo- ma—the evidence that the receiver has ac- complished something worthy of-the high- est encomiums—is a grand and supreme moment to the graduate. “Today you are knighted, tomorrow you go forth equipped for battle. Whether you will meet with victory or defeat will depend largely upon the cautiousness of your movements, and your ability to esti- mate the strength of the opposition you are to encounter. I am far from being a pessimist, and I will not, as much as 1 ad- mire and appreciate each one of you, draw a picture of your professional lives which will be misleading. I bespeak for each of you success. Of ail the professional schools from whence degrees are received, the graduates of the medical, dental and phar- maceutical departments of Howard Uni- versity should meet with success. The platform of your alma mater is as broad as humanity; her curriculum «is unsur- passed; her methods of instruction up to the hour. Her instructors are wedded to their calling; they are moved and gov- erned by a fundamental principle that is unknown in other institutions.A college thus broadly gauged cannot help bringing forth a class of men and women imbued with a spirit that will win success. Old as the profession is, great as have been the achievements of thousands of its mem- bers, remarkable as has been its advance, it is still far from being an exact science.” Must Run the Gauntlet. Dr. Purvis went on to assure the gradu- ates that we are living in a new and bright epoch; that this is an age of germs and rew cemedies, and that the discussion of today is between the laboratory observer and the clinical. Continuing he said: “You are to confront public opinion; you will find it your greatest friend, and at times you will find {t your most powerful and relentless enemy, according as it shail be swayed or moved. it is a powerful en- gine for good or for evil; it is a vacillating element, shifting as the sands of the sea; it makes and unmakes men; it strengthens or destroys governments.” - “Before you think of taking up any spe- cial branch, devote ten years of your time to general practice.

After more selections by the orchestra, President Rankin, in a few appropriate words, conferred® degrces ou thc medical, Gental and pharmaceutical graduates in turn, almost all of them receiving a large bouquet as his or her name was called. Presidént Rank then made an address, full of kindly encouragement and praise for the gradurtés and- compliments to the fac- ulty. There is no profession, declared Pres- ident. Rankin, which has better or nobler tendencies than that, of medicine. The speaker was incli tg think a man would make a better doctor if he were a minister.

The Supreme Court yesterday sustained the decision of the Massachusetts court which punished Idnerant “Preacher W. F. Davis for preaching” $m Boston Common on Juné ie 804, without a ‘pérhftt ‘from the maycr., Davis,claimed. that the ordi- nance giving the mayer, control, over the commons and forbidding any public ad- dress there without his permission was in conflict with the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. ‘The Supreme Court affirmed the opinion of the New York court in the case of Thomas Bryant Phillips, the Englishman sought to be extradited for forgery, etc., remanding him to the custcdy of tie United States marshal. The effect will be to extradite Phillips. The Blythe wili case, involving the es- tate of Henry T. Blythe, the California millionaire, was before the Supreme Court yeeterday. Attorney W. H: H. Hart of Cai- iforria, for Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley, who secured the Blythe property, made a motion to dismiss the case. Ex-Senator Hunton of Virgiaia, for the contestants, opposed the motion, and denied that ihe case had been brought to the Supreme Court merely for delaying the perfecting of Mrs. Hinckley’s title to the estate. It is cla'med by the contestants that as Mrs. Hinckley is a subject of Great Britain she could not inherit land in the United States, and that a state could not enact a law per- mitting allens to inherit lands. The court tock the papers and reserved its decision. Jurtice Harlaa rendered the opinion of the court in the cese of John H. Stone against the United States. In this ease suit had been brought against Stone in the district of Washington by the government to recover damages for timber cut on the public domain in Idaho after Stone had been acquitted in a crininal prosccution by the court of Idahc for the same offense. ‘The defease set up the plea that the pros- ecution must take place in the same state in which the timber had been cut, and that the criminal prosecution was a part of the suit for damages. Both objections were overruled and-the decision below ‘affirmed. The court decided in favor of th2 city of Defiance, Ohio, in the suit brought by the Wabash Railroad Company to prevent the city from changing the grade of its streets to a level with the railroad tracks. In 1887 the city council passed an ordinance per- mitting the railroad cOmpany to erect new bridges over its tracks where they were crossed by the streets, und in 1803 decreed that the grade of the streets should be changed to’ the level of the road. It was contended by the railroad that the ordi- nance of 1887 constituted a contract be- tween it and the city for the perpetual maintenance of the bridges, but the court held thgt it was rather a license than a contract, that such a contract could be made only by express authority of the legislature, and that it was incredible that the city could have intended to relinquish the right to change the grade. The opin- jon, delivered by Justice Brown, affirmed that of the supreme court of Ohio. The court denteti fe application made for a writ of habeas: corpus by the at- torneys for Charles Johnson, under sen- tence of deuth for rape in Indian territory. It was contended,.fgr Johnson that the court of the eastern district of Texas had jurisdiction over his He under the act of Congress which provided that the latter court retained jurisaidtion over all cases in the southern distmictsof Indian territory involving imprisopmyat at inard labor or death until September 1, 186.

Pees Harry A. Hellman Held Upon the Grave Charge of Attempted der—Repenting at Lei: A suspender button saved Jas. Kolb’s life during the progress of a melee last night, while a bullet fired at his friend, William Banf, entered the latter's neck, and in- flicted a serious wound. Harry A. Hellman, who fired both shots, was arrested, and will have to answer for the double shoot- ing. His victims were sent to the Emer- gency Hospital, where Banf may either re- main under treatment for some time or die from the effects of the injuries inflicted. Liquor is the only cause assigned for the trouble, and the man who used his pistol is sorry that he ever touched the liquid. The trouble started in the house of William Thompson, 912 ist street northwest, where Kolb, who is a carpenter, is a boarder. William Banf has been in the habit of call- ing on Miss Maud Thompson, so the police learned, and yesterday, after he and Hell- man had been out together, drinking, he invited Hellman to call with him upon the young lady. Several trips were made from the house to a saloon, the policemen say, and the “rushing of the growler” was fol- lowed by a dispute. It was after 11 o'clock when the trouble began. Hellman, it is said, was seen with a beer bottle in his pocket, and, when spoken to about it, he gave it up and apologized. But this did not end the inci- dent. Hellman ‘was inclined to be hilarigus. and his friend Kolb thought it was ut time he was going home, and concluded to give him a good start in that direction. Hellman works for his uncle, John H. Hellman, the oil dealer, whose business Place is at 2d and F streets, and the two men agreed to go there together, Thomp- son’s son to accompany them. When they reached the corner of Ist and K streets Kolb expressed the belief that he could go the remainder of the way without any difficulty. The.others then proposed to leave him. As they turned away Hellman picked up a brick and pretended he was going to use it. Young Thompson disarmed him, and Hellman was left to get home the best way he could. He was apparently well satisfied to go, and no further trouble was anticipated, but about ten minutes after midnight he re- turned to the back gate of the Tuompson residence, and there met Kolb, who re- quested him not to go into the house. “Get out of my way,” said Hellman, but Kolb again advised him to remain out of the house. “You ——- —— —, I'll put you out of my way,” exclaimed Hellman, as he drew a pistol from his pocket. Kolb dealt him a blow with his fist, it is alleged, and knocked him off his feet, but as he fell the two men clinched and went down together. While they were prostrate on the ground Hellman’s weapon was dis- charged. This bullet passed through his vest pocket on the left side, striking a suspender button, which caused the ball to glance and plough its way through the covering of the stomach, instead of enter- ing the vitals and possibly causing death. The report of the pistol shot attracted the attention of Banf, who was in the house, and he rushed out to ascertain the cause of the shooting. When he reached the alley he found the men still on the ground, with Kolb on top of the man who had shot him. Banf made an effort to play the part of peacemaker. He was attempt- ing to separate the others, when another shot was fired, and this time the bullet en- tered Banf’s neck, narrowly missing the jugular vein. The wounded man fell, and by this time a colored special policeman named Dogan appeared on the scene and placed the participants under arrest. As soon as he had disarmed Heliman Dogan blew his distress whistle. Policemen “Mc- Grath, Anderson, Stewart and Bryarly re- sponded, and the patrol wagon was sum- moned. The two injured men were taken to the Emergency Hospital, where their wounds were dressed and they were made comfortable, while Hellman, who had not been sobered by the excitement, was locked up on two serious charges. The injured men were doing well this morning. Al- though the wound in Banf’s neck is se- rious, the physicians think he will recover. In the Police Court today a warrant was filed alleging that Harry A. Hellman. did make an assault on Wiiliam Banf and Jas. H. Kolb with intent to kill. Because of the inability of the prosecuting witnesses to appear in court Assistant District Attorney Mullowney continued the case indefinitely, Hellman being committed to jail without bail. —_——__. COLLECTING SUBURBAN MAIL. Postal Cars to Be Pat on the Metro- politan Railway Lines. Second Assistant Postmas‘er General Shallenberger proposes to have an impor- tant improvement in the mail scivice for the suburbs of this city, on the first of the next fiscal year. On that date a street ratl- way postal car service will Le put in opera- tion on both lines of the Metropoli:an Rail- way Company, and trvportant improvements in the methods of colle*ting mails on both those lines and the Pennsylvania avenue line of the Capital ‘Traction Company will be made. Mr. Shallenberger can operate cnly in connection with the postmaster of this city, but it is believed that nothing will occur io prevent a reorganization of the system of collecting the mail along ‘tine lines of the Metropolitan and Pennsylvania 2 nue line of the Capital Traction Compan: which will allow the establishment of mail boxes at conventent points, into which let- ter carriers will drop their Collections in- stead of carrying them back to the city post ofllce, as is now the case. Collections will be made from these poxes by the mail cars attached to regular trains, as is now the case on the avenue line, and this mail will be assorted on the way and delivered directly either t@ a substation, the main office or to either of the railway stations. By this system it is believed there will be a large increase in the local busi- ness of the Post Office Department. Mr. Shalleaberger believes that when it is once well understood that a very quick delivery service is being operated that many persons will use the mails. instead of Messengers to send messages, and as the department receives just as much for a let- ter sent a distance of a mile as it does for one transported across the continent, this local service is regarded as the real money- making feature of the department, and Mr. Shallenberger believes that the increase in receipts will be such as to warrant Congress in making larger approvriations for this class of service, which he will advocate in his next annual report. Last year Congress appropriated $150,000, and this year $225,000 was allowed for the extension of the street railway mail service in large cities. This service is gradually being introduced and developed in all the large cities of the country, and it is the purpose of the depart- ment to inaugurate a system in this city, which, as far us possible, shall be a model, showing what such a system can accom- plish, and will work as ar: object lesson for the’ instruction of members of Congress. Just as soon ag it can be demonstrated that properly organized street railway mail service can be operated, so as to increase not only the receipts of the government, but to lessen the expenditure in the collec- tion of mail matter, it is belleved that there will be no- difficulty in sccuring appropria- tions which will-allew an extension of the same system on all suburban electric rail- Ways which traverse through.a sufficiently, well-populated section as to wafrant the service.
