Infants and Children. SEE THAT THE FACSIMILE SIGNATURE OF Chas. H. Fletcher C¥ EVERY BOTTLE OF CASTORIA TRAFFIC. BLOCKED Extensive Oave-In of the F Street Sewer Construction. Under the Tracks of the Metropolitan Road—Caused by-Last Night's Heavy Rain. Traffic on the Mctropolitan railroad, east and west, was completely stopped between 8 and 9 o'clock this morning by reason of the caving in of the immense sewer, now being excavated on F street at a point almost diresiiy in the center of 13th street. Notwithstanding the careful manner in which the sides of the excavation have been timbered and the apparent security thus afforded against caving, the terrific rain of last night flooded the hoie and softened the earth to such an extent that the timbers sunk down and many tons of earth on the north side of the sewer slid down to the bottom. A great hole was made under the south tracks of the Met- Fopolitan road, the entire conduit being exposed and apparently hanging in mid- air for several feet. The tracks remained in place, however, anda few ofthe east bound cars passed over the bridge thus formed, but Capt. Beach of the District engineer department ordered this to stop, and a long line of cars came to a stand- still from the west stde of 13th to 14th, and on the latter street nearly to New York avenue. The gas mains and the big water main were also exposed by the cav- ing and there was fear felt that the lat- ter would spring s leak and add its volume of water to the damage already done, and increase it incalculably. A forc2? of work- men was soon busy placing supporting timbers under the pipes and adopting other measures to prevent an increase of danger. The timbers, which had been forced down into an apparently inextricable mass of confusion, being crcesed and lapped in a variety of ways, prevented any substantial number of men from working simultaneous- ly, and the work of repair progressed, therefore, but slowly. The thousands of esrly-going clerks and business men living in Georgetown and the West End were compelled to walk many squares through the rain on account of the stoppage of the electric cars, and the same necessity con- fronted those living along the east end of the tine when the west-bound cars had ail gone to Georgetown, and were prevented from returning by the barrier at 13th street. Notwithstanding the heavy rain, crowds of people gathered at the scene of the cave- In and it became necessary to establisii a squad of police there to prevent interfer- cnce with the work of repair and keep the careless. and foolhardy out of danger. Before the break was discovered by the railroad people several cars were run over the piace, their weight being borne by a bridge, enty-five feet iong, consisting of the conduit, which is iooked upon as an evidence that the construction of the road is of a substantial character. A relay sys- tem was established as soon as possible and the passengers were transferred at 2th street to points east and west. — REPRESENTATIVES CHOSEN. A Campaign Club Elects Delegates to Detroit Convention. ‘The McKinley and Hovart Interstate Campaign Club held a mesiing last even- ing at Wonn’s Hall, No. 721 6th street northwest, and elected delegates to the national republican convention of league clubs to be held at Detroit, July 13, 14 and 15, in addition to the transaction of other business. Owing to an important engagement Pres- ident John C. Chaney could not be present, and Vice President F. B. Crossthwaite pre- sided. Among other proceedings was the reading of an interesting letter from President Chaney, suggesting some important charges in the constitution and by-laws, and com- plimenting the cjub for the prominent pert it took in the last campaign. By an unanimous vote the following dele- gates and alternates to the National Re- Publican League were chosen: Delegates—John C. Chaney, F. B. Cross- thwaite, Dr. T. E. Lee, E. B. Payne, B. H. ‘Warner. Alternates—Commodore O. P. Howell, P. H. McCi N. E. Luckey, H. E. Ruston, E. A. Kriedler, E. R. Taylor, A. 8. Odell, J. 8. Fardon.

The severe rain storm last night proved very trying to the police who went on at midnight, for although most of them wore rubber coats, many of them were soaked to the skin, and came off duty this morning without a dry thread on them. = “The rain came down harder and longer than I had ever seen it before,” remarked one of the policemen. “From midnight until about 4 o'clock the downpour was so heavy that it was almost impossible to sce/acroes the street.” ose who were relieved at 6 o'clock reported that a number of dangerous holes had been made by the rain. In some places there were sunken sewers, and in other places small breaks had been made larger. The complaints filed were turned over to the street department for prompt action. From Lieutenant Kelly's station two re- ports were received at headquarters. One was a dangerous hole between the car tracks on H street northwest between 1st and 2d streets, and the other was a break in the gutter in front of the Baltimore and Ohio depot. In the roadway at Penn- sylvania avenue and Prout street, Twining City, there is a bad depression, and Lieu- tenant McCathran also reported a sink in the sidewalk at 4th and C streets southeast. The streets at Virginia avenue and 7th street and on E street near 3d, in South Washington, were reported to be in a bad condition. ‘Severai broken places in the sidewalk on the north side of G street be- tween 4% and 6th streets were also men- tioned in the report. Four dangerous places were reported in the northwestern section of the city, south of Pennsylvania avenue. ——. Will Now Bathe in a Tab. The prevailing warm weather and the tempting water of the Potomac induced Lloyd Brooks to throw aside all reserve and, incidentally, his clothes, and take a plunge about 6 o'clock last evening at the foot of 17th street. He was plainly visi- ble as he stood on the bank from a dis- tance of a hundred yards, so Policeman Russell placed Lloyd under arrest, the charge being indecent exposure. “I thought it was all right to go swim- ming after sundown,” was the plea of the defendant today in the Police Court. “It was broad daylight, and you should have worn a bathing suit of some sort,” explained Judge Kimball. “Two dollars fine.” The bath was the equivalent of six days in the workhouse to Lloyd. ss Identity Established. Dr. Francis Tumblety, who figured in po- lice circles in London during the time “Jack the Ripper” caused so much excite- ment there, -end who was afterward ac- quitted in the Police Court here on a charge of being a suspicious character, was arrested in Baltimore this morning by Capt. Freeburger because of a request sent him by Inspector Hollinberger. He was suspected of being the man who passed three forged and worthless aes in this city a few days ago.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Engineer Kraemer Relieved of Watch and Money Last Night. The police were not the only people who were compelled to be out in the rain last night. Samuel Kraemer was also on the street at a late hour, and now he Is glad he 1s able to tell the story of his sad ex- perience. He was assaulted and robbed by three colored men, but fortunately he had only about $5 and a silver watch on his person. Mr. Kraemer js an engineer on the Bal- timore and Potomac railroad, and lives at No. 815 3d street southeast. He made a late run to Bowie last night, and when he returned it was nearly midnight. It was about 12:30 o'clock when he left the New Jersey avenue freight yard, and at the corner of 2d and G streets he was met by three colored men. The fact that he was hurrying home out of the rain made no difference to them, for they not only stopped him, but one of them knocked him down, and the three of them rifled his pockets. The condition of his faze indi- cates that some heavy instrument, possibly a blackjack, was used on him. When the ruffians had gotten Kraemer’s watch and money they left him there on the pavement and quickly disappeared. The robbery took place almost in sight of the engineer's feliow workmen, and before 1 o'clock the police were aware of what had happened.: A search for the highway- men was made, but they were not appre- herded. The bicycie thief made his appearance again yesterday, and stole a wheel from the pavement in front of 821 14th street. Mr. C. Hatfield, who is the owner of the store at that number, called.on the police last night and informed them of his loss. The detectives have a description of the wheel, and are looking for both wheel and thief. 3 James L. Brass, corner of Half and H streets southwest, has been robbed of paper and silver to the amount of $13.60. He reports the money was taken from his trunk Monday. F. C. Luce, 728 22d street, has asked the police to recover some tools, stolen from the Corcoran building. A wrench, pipe cutter and brace and bit were among the articles stolen. Edward Kosack, 521 10th street, com- plains of the theft of a coat and vest, while Willard & Reed report the larceny of a hatrack. The rack was taken from the Kellogg building. —.-——_ Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Whi.e—Henry Kline of Alexandria county, Va., and Kathaleen A.

The weekly meeting of the local Federa- tion of Labor, which was held Tuesday evening, w: well attended. Most of the session was occupied with the consideration of the action of the Painters’ Assembly in placing a boycott on one of the steamboat companies, and a committee was appoint- ed to make a full investigation of the en- tire question. : The death of Mr. William F. Waldsmer, secretary of Carpenters’ Assembly, was an- nounced, and resolutions of regret adopte‘. The delegates from Barbers’ Assembly announced that an open meeting was held Sunday last at Plasterers’ Hall, and it was believed the result would be beneficial to ‘the members of the craft generally. ——— Officers Installed.

Delegat to Police Convention in Pittsburg Consider the Matter. The consideration ef the Bertillon system eccupied nearly the entire session of the convention of chiefs of police of the United States and Canada at Pittsburg yesterday. It was finally decided not to petition Con- gress on the matter until the system had been thoroughly tested. ‘The delegates then pledged themselves to use their best endeavors to have the police commissioners of their respective cities make a spectal appropriation for the pur- pose cf making the Bertillon system a na- tional affai~, with general headquarters in one of the larger cities. - - Se es RAPID TELEGRAPHY.

Admission will be by card tonight, but on Friday and Saturday the exhibition will be open to the public between the hours of 2 and 6 p.m. Perheps the most interesting and novel feature of the exhibit ts the work done by the students in the class in designing, conducted by Miss Sallie T. Humphreys. ‘Designs for tiles, for silks and other tex- tile fabrics, and book covers, are included in this section of the exhibit, and the dis- play gives a pleasing appearance of bright- ness and color to the walls. An especially strong showing is made of book covers, and among these the examples by Miss Lo Wainwright, whose work won her the scholarship in designing, and that of Miss Marguerite Barnes, who received the honor- able mention, at once attract attention. A cover for “Evangeline,” suggestive of the first lines of the poem, is one of the best of a number of artistic designs by Miss Beulah Reeves; and Miss Janney’s decora- tion for “Wake Robin” is especially good. Miss L. M. Montrop’s lotus decoration for “Cleopatra” and several flower designs by Miss Sampson will call forth favorable ccmment, and Miss Jennie Dodge, Miss Davis, Miss Greene and Miss Mabel Lat- timer also show good work in this depart- ment. Life Clasn Exhibit. Mr. E. C. Messer, the instructor of the afternoon life class, is very much gratified with the work which the students have dcne during the year, and the showing from this class 13 quite large, and the standard of excellence high. Visitors will naturally manifest a good deal of interest in the drawings by Miss Margaret Tomes, who won the scholarship in the New York League, and in the work of Mrs. Whitney, who received the honorable mention in the same competition. Strong drawing and modeling are also shown in the work ex- hibited by Miss Le Duc, Miss Sigsbee, Miss Critcher and Miss Juliet Thompson, and among the students of the night life class W. B. Chilton and Jerome P. Uhl deserve especial mention. From the Antique. The exhibit of the antique classes this year shows faithful study on the part of the students, both in the preparatory class urder Miss Wooding and in the advanced antique under Mr. Siebert and Mr. Messer. The careful blocking in of shadows, which Mr. Siebert advocates so strongly, has been Productive of excelient results in the work of many students. Arthur Spear shows some strongly modeled work, and a couple of heads by Miss M. E. Lewis are remark- ably good. Among the others who exhibit gcod drawings in this department are Miss Beulah Barnes, Miss Bessie Barnes, Mirs Florence Behrend, Miss Ida Baum and Miss Alice Parker. Water Colors. Miss Perrie, the instructor of the water color class, has enriched the exhibition by several contributions from her brush, but the shewing of class work, while including quite a number of studies that are excellent in their technical handling, is only moder- ately large this year. Miss Elsie Edwards has a series of well-executed heads, and Miss M. K. Porfer displays her bent for flower painting in a number of crisp studies. Among the others who ‘have done good work in this class during the year are Miss Fanny Thompson, Miss Gibson, Miss Haw- ley and Miss Wright. Portraits. The heads done in the portrait class prop- er are not very numerous, and the showing would be rather meager in this department, also, were it not for the fact that several excellent portraits that were executed out- side have been contributed. Miss Solo- mons has sent two portraits, her head of Miss Clara Hill being an admirable likeness, and Miss Juliet Thompson has two pastels handled with the usual success which she has in that medium. Miss Anna Lee ex- hibits geveral well-studied heads in oil, and John K. Souther shows a striking, effective pastel. Miss Critcher and Miss Meetze are also well represented. Sketches and Compositions. The exhibit of sketches and compositions is unusually small, but the individual work shown is in many cases so good as to make up for the rather limited number of draw- ings displayed. A collection of drawings in black and white by Miss Wooding is ex- hibited, and Jerome Uhl shows some very bold sketches, which are good specimens of pen and ink technique. Among the most interesting of the sketches shown are those by W. Balfour Ker, as he has the knack of giving the expression of a face or the action of a figure by a few telling lines. A large heet covered with thumb-nail sketches bears witness to this, and several large drawings prove that his work is as strong in light and shade as in line. H. B. Bradford is well represented in the realm of black and white, as is also A. G. Randall, who has made a special study of pencii work, and sends a night scene in this medium. Glenn M. Brown exhibits several pleasing outdoor motives, executed in oil, and a number of other students have con- tributed to the attractive ensemble upon the walls of the league rooms. ——_——_ — TO TEACH WEE PEOPLE. Graduates in Kindergarten Methods Receive Their Diplomas. The lecture room of the Metropolitan M. E. Church was filled with a most appre- elative audience Monday evening, the oc- casion being the presenting of certificates of proficiency to the graduating class of kindergarten teachers, who had completed their course of training at the Lucy Webb Hayes National Training School. The proceedings had been announced by the faculty as “an evening with the kinder- garten,” and that was what it proved to be. As many illustrations of kindergarten work and its results as could be crowded into two hours were given with such tell- ing effect that the audience were quite de- lighted with the whole affair. In order that the public should be able to form a correct opinion of what is being ac- complished by the kindergarten, three classes, two white and one colored, were introduced, and the way in which the wee ones went through their exercises was de- lightful to the spectators.
