A Chat With McKnew’s Experts on the All-im ‘Underwear Ques- tion. we TI8* I dropped in at fhe -known underwear house of Wm. H. Mel 933 Pa..ave., the. other day for a chat with their experts as to the best Kinds of underwear for summer wear. “What is the very best mal underwear in the world?” I asked of MeKn es rin, “Dr. Jneger’s,”” he replied. “But that’s s9 high priced,’ I remark- ed. “There's where -ygn ‘are mistaken,” he said. “It is the cheapest underwear In the world, quality considered. No other.saanufacturer can offer the came quality of fabrie as the Dr. Jaeger goois at anything like the ‘priée.» Dr. Jaeger’s underwear may be had here from $1.75 up. In addition to its fineness of manufacture it fs the only truly hygienic underwear in existence, being an absolute protection against cokis,.sore throats, pneumonia, veuralgia, rheumatism and similar complaints, It is really an ideal summer underwear, as the pure Australian wool of which it is made absorbs all the perspiration and leaves the body cool and ary. “But while there ts one best underwear, the-e are a lot of good kinds, and we have them all for men, women and children. We are making a great specialty this year of a line of Indies’ Swiss ribbed corset covers, which our customers find far superior to those made of muslin, and they fit Ike gloves. I doubt whether you will find them else- Where. We are introducing them at 25c. ie. and $1." Very few establishments carry such a large line of ladies’ summer vests as I found at MtKnew's. A large line of cotton and lsle thread vests were shown at from 9c. all the way up to 83c., each grade carrying the extra large as well as the ususl sizes. Their men's underwear department has™also been lavishly stocked with splendid underwear values. An excellent iine of men's fine combed Ezyptian vilk-finish balbriggan underwear is shown here at 0c. And the real French balbriggan may be had for $1. These are in both long and short sleeves and are in sizes 34 to 50 In shirts, and 28 to 50 in drawers, thus enabling the firm to fit the largest as well as the smallest men as easily as those of moderate size. cL.

PAY.<TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD | S*tesesscssoceceoesesseoes Successful Test Made Under Favorable Von- ditions Yesterday. mite Superintendent McFarinnd, Repre- senting the District, Makes a Favor- able Report—Company’s Claims. Operated under the most favorable cir- cumstances, the air motor, proposed to be adopted as a new means of motive power for the Eckingtoa road, made a successful round trip yesterday from the power house to the market, University Hill and return. It was an official test, the representative of the District, Superintendent McFarland, be- ing on board. Several other tests had been made, but Engineer Commissioner Black ordered the operation of a car filled with passengers. The car, with a pressure of 2,000 pounds of air, started yesterday after- noon from the power house, with forty-six passengers on board, including the repre- sentatives of several newspapers. The motor glided off smoothly and made the run without incident. The severest test was stated to be that on Louisiana avenue between 5th and 6th streets. There is a 7 per cent grace here, and every one watched the car make the climb. A.man had been employe‘ before it arrived at this point to sand the tracks, and he had-them in fine shape when the motor appeared. Several times the car was brought to a stop on the up grade, and only oncé did it falter, and then it was so brief that little note was taken of it. It took place about half way up the grade. A Slight Hitch, Superintendent McFarland had ordered a stop to be made. This was done, but, when it came time for starting again, there was a hitch, and it was necessary to reverse the car a short distance before it would re- spond to the forward impulse. When the car reached the top of the hill, the driyers and conductors who made up the load applauded vigorously. They no coubt appreciated the difference, for the drivers are sorely taxed, even with four horses, to get a car up this grade. There was some hissing added to the noise of the piston, but it was not thought by the sup- erintendent from the Commissioners’ office to be disagreeable. The return of the car to the power house was uneventful. At the suggestion of Sup- erintendent McFarland, thirty steps in all Were made. When the power house was reached, it was suggested that the full trip be completed; that the car be run to Brook- land. But upon reference to the pressure gauge, It was found that there was uot sufficient power in the cylinders, and only a part of this branch was run over. It was that from the power house to the univer- sity gate. The motor took the hill with apparent ease, although the speed was considerably diminished. It was as fast, the represen- tative of the raflroad claimed, as that made by the trolley. Special attention was called to the running of the car under low pres- sure, the speed maintained being as fast as though it were being operated with fully charged cylinders. Superintendent’s Description. At the power house, the operation of the car was ‘described by Mr. T. Vogelsanger, the engineer of the Hoadley-Knight com- pany. It required less than a minite to re- charge the cylinders, he explained, and the cylinders could be made any reasonable size to insure a full round trip. Superintendent McFarland’ has already made two reports upon the operation of the motor, both of which are favorable. He expressed himself as satisfied with the test of yesterday. In conversation with a reporter of The Star, he said there was no doubt in his mind that the motor would successfully operate the road. The only @rawback he knew of to an air motor was its liability to explode. It was claimed that the one tried here was proof against ex- plosion, and the company claimed the cylinders were not taxed anywhere near their strength, and that even if they were to explode, which was not at all probable, they would simply tear out, and not scat- ter into fragments. ‘The final report upon the tests was made this afternoon. At the next meeting of the board of Commissioners the subject will be taken up for consideration, and the Com- missioners, to satisfy themselves, will prob- ably make a test for themselves. ———— OUTLINES A POLICY. New Department Commander, U. U., Issues General Order No. 1. General M. A. Dillon, commander of the provisional department of Washington, D. C., Union Veteran Union, has issued his first general order, as follows: “1. Having been appointed commander by general order No. 4, May 25, 1897, issued “by the commander-in-chief, I hereby as- sume command. “2. The following appointments are an- nounced: Dr. Lawrence Wilson, adjutant general; V.illiam W,. Chambers, quarter- master general; Dr. Jacob Abel, judge ad- vocate; R. M. Calhoun, mustering officer; Walter C. Butler, inspector. “3. Precinct commanders will report to this command the names of their officers and delegates, with their local addresses, to both department and national commands. ‘Phey will also give the number of com- rades in good standing, the time and place of their n-eetings, and forward their per capita tax. “4. The name and address of one com- rade from each command for appointment as aid-de-camp and one as assistant in- spector, is requested. “5. The several colonels of command wiil constitute a department employment com- mittee, with the assistant adjutant gen- eral as chairman, and will meet once a week, by whom all applications for em- ployment vill be considered. “6, The several Heutenant colonels of ccmmand will constitute a department re- lief committee, with the quartermaster general as chairman, and will meet once a week, by whom all applications for relief v. |. wil) be corsidered. “7. The several majors of command will constitute a department committee on good of the order, with the department com- mander as chairman, and will meet once a week. t will be the duty of the com- mittee to provide ways and means for efi- tertainment, recruiting and building up of the order. “8. This department being the legitimate successor of the Department of Potomac, it is hereby ordered that any past officer of the Department of Potomac. holding any part or parcel of property of any kind or character, formerly belonging to said Department of Potomac, will turn same over to Comrade William W. Cham- bers, quartermaster general, at once, tak- ing his receipt therefor. “9, This department has been very much abused by the character of politics which controlled it in the past, and I hereby give due and timely notice that in the future, or at least while I have control, our poll- tics shall be these laid down in our consti- tution and by-laws. Should it be necessary to adopt any other, that of the republican party shall be preferred. “10, All reports required herein and all appointments of committees and individuals must be mzde and accepted to these head- quarters within ten days. “Headquarters are hereby established at No. 1227 R street northwest, and Friday evening of each week as the time of meet- ing, commencing with Friday evening, July 9, 1897, at 7:30 o'clock, when the depart- ment commander will be pleased to meet all committees and comrades whose ap- pointments are hereby announced.” ——— SERIES OF MEETINGS. Sunday Services to Be Held During mer at Chevy Chase. Bush meetings will be held every Sunday during the summer at Chevy Chase. These meetings were begun yesterday, when there was a large congregation present.

Murdock and Reu- ben A. Bacon. At the close of the regular services at All Souls’ Unitarian Church yesterday morning services, were held in memory of Susan Dorr Willard, Wm. C. Murdock and Reyben A. Bacon, honored members of the church who passed away several years ago, tabletS"trected to their. memories being un- veiled, .<- The Rev. E. Bradford Leavitt, pastor of the church, explained that the memcrial services.were those of dedication and com- memoration, not in remembrance of any great ‘soldier or saint, but in tribute to three mezhbers of the.church who by their lives and deeds made such a service and remembranve‘ftting an@ appropriate. Two of them were mbers of the board of trustees of the Church, who had had charge of its construction, and to whose courage- ous efforts, energy and enterprise was due in a great-measure the credit for its erec- tion. The other, Mrs. Willard, was one who by her kindly, gentle Christian spirit won from her former pastor the title of a “Mother in Israel.” Kacon Tablet First. After a short, prayer by the pastor, the choir sang “Rest, Spirit, Rest,” and then Mr. H. K. Willard unveiled the Bacon tab- let. It occupies a position on the north wall of the church, being inscribed with the name and the date of his birth, July 1, 1888, and the date of oad death, Febra- ary 14, 1885; also, “1877-79,", indicating the period’ of his service ce abeseburnn| as trustee. Mr. Willard said in part: “In the history of All Souls’ Church this 27th day of June Is one of the most sacred anniversaries. No more appropriate cay in the whole year could be chosen in which to unveil and dedicate these memorial tab- lets. Twenty years ago today the corner- stone was laid, under the direction of the board of nine trustees, composed of Messrs. Henry A. Willard, Israel T. Libbey, Wm. P. Dunwoody, George B. Clark, L. H. Pe- louze, R. A. Bacon, W. A. F. Wallace, J H. Baxter and W. C. Murdock. At the death of Gen. Pelouze a tablet was erected to his memory by the chui and it was then contemplated that the same thing should be done as others of this first board passed away. This was followed by the erection of a tablet to the memory of Com- modore Isaiah Hanscom, who succeeded Gen. Pelouze on the board, also being a member of the building committee, and also one to Mr. George B. Clark. Of late years, however, this practice has fallen into disuse, but we are glad that the friends of two of that board have resumed this custom, and by means of private sub- scription they are thus honored today. Six of thai first board of trustees have passed away, four of whom are honored with memorial tablets.” William C. Murdock. Mr. Willard paid a graceful tribute to the life and character of Mr. Bacon, and then Mr. E. B. Hay unveiled the tablet erected to the memory of Mr. Murdock, which was inscribed as was the Bacon tablet, the dates of birth and death being given respectively as May 24, 1836, and August 4, 1895. Speakicg of Mr. Murdock Mr. Hay said: “His name was not wriiten high upon any roll of heroes; it was not emblazcned in any characters in the tablets of fame, but in those hearts that came near to him his memory is written there in golden and illuminated letters that will last longer than marble tablets. In behalf of his friends who have contributed toward this, and in behalf of this institution, I unveil tcday this marble tablet to him.” + Grandson Officiated. The Willard tablet was unveiled by Mr. Joseph FE. Willard, a grandson of the de- ceased. Gracefully and feelingly he spoke of her long connection with All . Souls Church, which she loved, and to which she went regulirly to worship. She was born March 18, 1797, and died January 12, 1890. The tablet was placed there by three grandchildren, Mrs. Kate Wilard Boyd, Mr. Joseph E. Willard and Mr. H. K. Wii- lard. —_—_s__—_... HARRIS GOT EIGHT YEARS. —— Bradicy Disregzarded the Jury's Recommendation to Mercy. “I want it understood,” remarked Judge Bradley this morning, in imposing sentence upon Edward Harris, a young colored man, in Criminal Court, No. 2, “as it was several years ago when I was presiding in this court, that in every case of assault with ir.fent to kill, where there is no justifiable excuse or palliating circumstances, I will impcse the maximum penalty—eignt years’ impriscnment in the penitentitry at hard labor. The taking of property is bad enough, but these attempts to take human life are not only much worse, but are also far too frequent, and I int the imposition of the hi secure it, to do all I ean to stop it.” Harris was convicted last week of as- saulting Charles Warren Rigys, an elderly colored man, with intent to i him by cutting him in the stomach with a knife the 25th of last month, the jury recom- mending him to the mercy of the cow This morning the prisoner's counsel re- ferred to the jury’s recommendation, and to the fact that the man has no past ecrim- inal record, asking the court to impose the minimum penalty, two years in the peni- tentiary. In imposing sentence Judge Bradley recalled the circumstances cf the assault, stating that Harris assaulted Riggs, his employer, simply because cf a difference of 37%; cents between them as to the amount due the defendaut in payment of a few hours’ labor on the day in ques- tion, “The evidence in the case,” remarked Judge Bradley, “shows that Riggs handed the money to the defendant's father when the defendant refused to accept it,and after striking his employer a severe low with his fist, pulled out a knife and cut the old m4n in the stomach as he staggered back from the force of the blow. While the wound was not a deep one, it was a very leng one, and ‘it is through no fault of Har- ris that he is not here on a charge of mur- der” What induced the jury to recommend this man to the mercy of the court I can- not ccnecive, for his assault on Riggs was about the most unjustifiable and uncalled for in my experience. I therefore regard my duty to the community under the cir- cumstances of a much higher nature than to. the recommendation of the jury.
