The military bicycle corps of the North- western Military Academy, situated in the tance madden will be over 1,000 miles, equal to the distance recently ordered in a trial by the War Department of a troop of twen- ty-five regular soldiers, who are to ride over the mountains west of the Mississippt The men are all in heavy marching order, and are equipped with arms, blankets, tents, cooking utensils, etc., making an average weight of twenty-five or thirty pounds per man, with the weight of the wheel additional. The ride was not to be continued all during the day, but frequent stops were to have been made. The men would ride an hour and then rest ten min- utes, and so on, alternating all during the day, with a stop of several hours for din- ner. An average speed of ten miles an hour was to have been maintained, with about ten solid hours of riding per day, making a distance of 100 miles covered each day.

The company is composed of all young men, the oldest not over twenty-two years of age, and a strict account will be kept of the accidents and incidents of the jour- ney, the information to be used for statistt- cal work.

The company was orizinally expected to reach the city some time Saturday afternoon or even- ing, but the command has been delayed for some reaxon or ether, and has not veen heard from. The boys were expected to arrive some time late yesterday xfternoonr, but still they failed to appear, and their coming is expected for certain some t!me this after- noon, or possibly tomorrow morning. The cycle soldiers will bring with them a dispatch from Gea. Brooke, whose head- quarters are at Chicago, and this will be delivered to the War Department. The dispatch was at first to have been given to Gen. Miles, but as he is absent from the country it will be given to Gen. Rus- sell Alger, the Secretary of War. He will simply acknowledge the receipt, the dis- patch containing tne formal announcement of the trip, the time at which the start was made and other information. The delay of the command is something | than can hardly be explained. Beyond the fact that the start was made last Monda: the lecal end of the line has received word of the riders. Nothing has appeared in any of the papers all along the line of march giving an account of the ride, and no personal communications of any sort have been received. The command rides in a body the entire distance, and as soon as one rider is injured or the bicycle hurt # stop is made until everything is all right again. The object of the trip is to more fully rdered to Fort Hamilton, N. ¥., te} demonstrate the utility of bicycles in case of war, this being one of the few methods of obtaining a practical result. The dis- will be measured and weighed soon after coming into the city. Regular military discipline and duty was to have been ob- served on the line of march, even to guard and picket duty. The outcome of the ride will be watched for with considerable interest. —_-e+____ Accused of Making Threats. John W.

Norton presiding. Owing to the ap- proaching hot weather, Judge Norton de- cided to call a special grand jury to act upon the cases before the court. The jury was contposed of the following gentlemen: Mayor-elect Goerge L. Simp- son, J. M. White, F. F. Marbury, D. H. Appich, Frank J. “Davidson and Ashby Miller. Judge Norton, in charging the jury, made special mention of the liquor license ques- tion. The grand jury, after being out a short while, returned the following: Cor. agt. Geo. Burke, colored, indicted for seduction under promise of marriage; a true bill. Com. agt. Ernest Wilson, charged with breaking and entering a railroad car; not a true bill. The grand jury was then discharged. The criminal cases were set for trial Tues- day, June 22. Alexandria Water Co. agt. Southern rail- way et al.; case referred to A. W.

Exactly why is not known, but nevertheless it is a fact. Hobos of every nationality seem to center here, and the surrounding country has to suffer. It is a very usual thing for them to hold up and rob persons on the highway, to say nothing ef the thefts from smoke houses ard hen houses. Shortly after 9 o'clock last night two tramps went to the house of Mr. George Geings, near Mason's wall, in the north- western section of the city, and in a most insulting manner demanded something to east and a cold glass of ice water. Mr. Goings told them that there was nothing to eat in the house, but that they could step back to the well and help themselves to the water there. This did not suit the aristocratic hobos, for they left, muttering threats of dire vengeance for being re- fveed. Later they returned and cut the ropes, letting the buckets fall in the well, and pinned a note to a post stating that if when they called‘‘again and their re- quests were refused they would put polson in the well. ‘The case was reported at police headquarters ’this morning and is being investigaté# 69 Fire Cofpiiy Meeting.

Attractive Features of the Graduation Eaercises of the Well-Known Institution. A prettier or more picturesque sight than that presented this morning in the assem- bly hall of the Notre Dame Academy, cor- ner of North Capitol and Myrtle streets, would be scarcely possible to conceive. The occasion was the graduation exercises of the institution, and the coming of Monsig- nor Martinelli, the apostolic delegate, had Inspired the sisters and their pupils to exert all their energies to make it significant. The hall was beautifuliy decorated with foliage plants and blooming flowers, and the color effect was enhanced by the white dresses of the older scholars and the many~ hued attire of the little girls. Monsignor Martinelli, attired in the scar- let robes of his rank, presided and occupied a seat in the center of the platform. Near him were Monsignor Sbaretti of the papal legagion, Rev. Father Gillespie, pastor of St. Aloysius’ Church and president of Gon- zaga College; Rev. Father Colgan, Rev. Father Dolan, Rev. Father Conway of this city, Rev. Father Conway of New York, Rey. Father McGuinny and other priests, and a number of well-known Catholics who are patrons of the school. There was a very large attendance, and the windows along the corridor were crowded with interested spectators who could not find seats in the hall. The Program. The program of exercises was very in- teresting, and a particularly attractive fea- ture was the reception to Monsignor Martinelli by the tiny pupils. The latter were all dressed as butterflies. Their tarla- tan dresses were of all colors, and from their shoulders extended wings of bright hues. They circled around the hall, sing- ing songs, and then recited in unison com- pliments to the monsignor. He was evi- dentiy much affected by the compliment. There was another compliment to the monsignor later, when Misses McCarthy, O'Connor, Lalor and Cunningham paid homage to him in recitations describing his family’s achievements and his deeds as_chief of the Augustinian Society. During the exercises Monsignor Marti- nelli was presented with an immense floral crozier of carnations and purple forget-me- nots by the pupils and sisters of Notre Dame. The Delegate’s Address. The apostolic delegate read an address to the graduates and presented their diplomas. They were Misses M. Quinn, A. Lanahan, R. Kennelly, M. Quinlan and Bertha Mc- Carthy. He also presented gold medals for music to Miss Lanahan and Miss Moran, and @ certificate for proficiency in instru- mental music to Miss Aske. Miss Kennelly read a very interesting essay on “A Royal Prisoner,” taking Leo XIII as her subject and endeavoring to show that while he was confined in the Vatican, he was the ruler in religion of a large portion of the Christian world. The program of the exercises included Haydn symphony by the Caecelian or- chestra, the salutatory by Miss Quinlan, Mendelssohn’s Capriccio Brilliante _ on pianos by Misses Moran and Baden; Papini's Marche de I' Esperance on vi lins by Misses A. Rover, R. Norris, Miss Montgomery and Miss R. Dore; Liszt’s Rhapsody, No. 2, by Miss Lanahan; the overture to Rossini’s Tancredi by Misses Rover, Hartnett, Ashe and Elbert and Downs’ Te Deum by a chorus, and with sclos by Misses Baden and Ashe. The valedictory was delivered by Miss Quinn. ss aaa eos Medical Freedom. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The pending consideration of Senate bill 1134, and the adverse report cf the health officer of the District thereon, seem to call for the immediate attention of all persons who value the principl:, embodied in the measure. ‘The church has jargely lost its power of oppression ard repression in this age, and power is becoming vested in so-called nce, but the science which seeks most to control the affairs of men is mere ma- m and not science in broad The scalpel and the micrcscope are g constantly to a knowledge of the physical basis of life, and the compound- temporary nature’s ing of new drugs grants new immunities to the violators of laws. Medical societies procure the pt laws which shal forbid the exercise healing powers by any but the hoiders of a certificate from a commission which they control, just as in former times none proved were permitted ious functions. sus Christ was condemned to d tion under the Jewisn laws, so under laws of the District of Columiia at the present day He might de fined in the Police Court and forbidden to heal sick until He had passed the pr ion and obtained a certifi 's been found, not by universal con- sent, but to such a degree as to be em- bodied in our laws, that the religious health of the community is best promoted hy religious freedom; but the apostles of tne materialistic epoch would have us believe that medical freedom is dangerous to the ccmmunity. Much better would it be if laws were passed against the administration of drugs even by registered physicians. The proper remedy for disease is the removal of its cause. Virtuous and sanitary living s a crying need of the people. The mission: of medical men, if a holy one, is to prevent the commission of sin by advice and ad- monition based on the knowledge they te. have acquired by their course of training: within the physiological province wh is that of their jurisdiction. The p: of medical men is largely the exerci: their ingenuity to palliate the consequr " of sin. Thus they uphold and prolong the wrongdoing of the sinner, until its con- Sequences pass Leyond their centrol and the community is corrupted. To aid t in this endeavor they maintain professional secrecy, whereby the wrongdcer may be further protected from having the con- sequences of his sin visited upon him. The advocacy of laws of medical restric- tion is based upon representations of de- ceit and impcsition practiced -upon the nt by the unscrupulous, but the laws selves are addressed to the prohibition of unsarctioned relations between patient and physician, however intelligent. or hon- est. Why not address the remedy to the evil? ‘The prevention of evil practices is in the legitimate province of legisla- authority. The Mormen may believe what he will, but the law forb'ds-pelyg- amy; a man may be a traitor at heart to Fis country, but the Constitution provides that he must be convicted of overt acts of treason before he can be condemned; the freedom of contract is broad, but false pretenses are punished when they result in fraudulent acts. Let the charlatan or the saint be punished for the evil he doe but do not condemn him in advance for the professions he makes. No law should be allowed to remain upon the statute books which prohibits any person from selecting a physician for his soul or his body, or from offering his healirg powers to the service of the sick. : B, PICKMAN MANN. AMERICA’S WORK DONE. Great Britain and Venezuela Exchange z Treaty Ratifications. The final ratification of the boundary treaty between Great. Britain and Ven- ezuela was exchanged at the State Depart- ment late yesterday afternoon.

With yesterday’s ceremony the connection of the United States goyern- ment with the negotiations ceases, and the two governments will be left to work out the boundary dispute to a concliston, un- less there should be some totally unex- pected interruption in the workings of the machinery which has been so carefully prepared to insure a settlement of this celebrated cause. © 11 The Busy Corner, 8th and Market Space.

A number of members of the Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association appeared be- fore the Commissioners this morning to protest against the use of the public dump at the intersection of Sherman avenue and Irving place. It was argued by Presi- dent Ballinger of the association that the dump was a great nuisance. Matter was deposited on the dump which was detri- mental to the health of the neighborhood. Loose + was blown about the neigh- beciook the discomfort of the residents. He wanted it understood that he made no complaint of the police for allowing this thing. The force already was tnadequate to even afford protection to the citizens, and it was not to be expected they could give the dumps their entire attention. ‘There re present at the hearing M. A.
