DONATED 0 NATIONAL MUSEUM Models Which Formed the Basis of Many Modern Inventions. HIS LETTERS AND DIARIES es One of the most interesting collections, from several standpoints, which has been secured by the Naticnal Museum, is now being prepared there by Mr. George C. Maynard, in charge of the electrical col- lections ir the department of technology. It contains much that is attractive, both to the ordinary visitor and the one of scien- tific bent. It is the electrical apparatus of Prof. Joseph Henry, for many years sec- retary of the Smithsonien Institution, @ man well known for his high in- tellectual attainments not only in this country, but in every section of the globe. The collection comprises not only his elec- trie models, many of which form the basis for improved modern inventions of similar character" as the present, but tokens of esteem, orders and the like, which he re- ceived from foreign nations. All of the objects comprised in this col- lection were donated by the three daugh- ters of Prof. Henry, who are residents of Washington. They deemed it fitting that the objects which represented his life and work should find a resting place in the Na- tional Museum, a branch of the Smith- sonian Institute, of which he was in charge so long. Medals and Diaries. Medals, orders, Ictters and diaries are in the coliection which is being made to oc- cupy a prominent position in the depart- ment of technology. Much time and care is being taken to make it one of the best in the lot, and it will be an object of ia- terest to every visitor, when completed. There are medals of gold, silver and bronze. The gold medal was presented to Prot. Henry by Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus- tria. It is about two inches in diameter and rests in a beautiful little case inside of the large glass receptacle. On one side is a bas relief miniature of the emperor, with the words, “Franciscus Josephus 1, D. G. Austrae Imperator.” On the reverse side are simply the words: “‘Literis et Artibus.”” A medal which is of special interest 18 a handsome ene in bronze, a gift from |} the Prince Consort of England, husband of Queen Victoria. On one side are the words, “H. R. H. Prince Albert, President of the Royal Commission.” It also has in bas relief a miniature of the prince. On the revers: side are the words: “Exhibi- tion of ths works of all nations. 1851. For services.” This was presented to Prof. Henry after the London exposition. There is another medal from the Norwegian cen- tennial of 1872; alse cne from Carl XV of Norway and Sweden, and another from ar and Queen Sophia. ‘The Royal is represented by a medal pre- sented to Prof. Henry in 1861, and there re others from the United States mint aa- Prof. Henry was on the United States Magnificent Vase. One of the prettiest mementoes exhibited is a magnificent Sevres vase, about two feet high, presented to Prof. Henry by the National Academy of Sciences of Paris. It was given him in 1872 when he was at the French capital, appointed by President Grant to represent the United States at the “commissicn internationale du metre.” This w ne of the owner’s most treas- ured pcs: sions. In_ 1885 a splendid memorial tablet of Prof. Henry was placed in Princeton Uni- ity, where he was at one time a profes- sor. The famous artist and sculptor, St. Daudenes, has made a replica of this tab- let, and it is shown in the collection. There are a number of other medals from Olaf, of which Prof. a member by King urles of Norway and Sweden, is shown andsome emblems. One of these is to be worn at the neck and the other pinned on the coat. The one for the coat is of bright ‘steel, re mbiing in shape a Mal- tese cross, with the fish tails, of which it is composed, sharply defined. In the center fs the figure of a lion rampant. The otacr emblem is attached to a ribbon of red, pink and blue. It is of the same shape as the other, and is of some enameled metal. The figure of a lion is in the center cf this also. ‘The King of Norway and Sweden was the grand master of the ord. at the time Prof. Henry was made a member, and a notification of his selection, signed by tre king himself, was sent to the profes- sor, which fs shown with the rest of the objects. Electrical Devices. Of the electrical models used and invented by Prof. Henry there is shown a large va- riety. One of these fs of special interest, as it is belleved that it was really the basis of the electrical machines which produce power and motion at che present time. It worked by a reciprocal motion. Another ts shown which was the cause of great discussion. It was believed that by the invention of this Prof. Henry really laid the foundation for the telegraph, which Morse carried out. This has been ‘cpenly asserted. Morse and Prof. Henzy were excellent friends until the lawyers dragged the inventions of the telegraph into court and managed to pit them agaiast one an- other, although the professor had no ‘dea of claiming the invention. Up to the time Professor Henry beg: one Sturgeon. si) of an iron bar bent in the form of a horse shoe and covered with shellac, with a bare wire t d about it, in long convulations. sor Henry's discovery consisted in insulating the wire itself, by winding with silk thread, which enabled him to wind upon the iron horse shoe containing a large quantity of wire, thus greatly increasing the electrical power. By sending a current through this from a small battery, thus constructed, placed at the end of a wire a mile or more in length, he was enabled to send signals to distant points, and it 1s claimed this was the original of the tele- graph. A machine is shown, made by Pro- fessor Henry at Albany, New York, in 1s31, at Yale College. It remained there until 1803, when it was taken to the Na- tienal Museum. It consists of a powerful electro-magnet which can hold up 2,000 pounds or more. Au Interesting Story. There is a small object in the collection which looks like a cigar case, and has evi- Gently been made to represent one. An in- teresting tale ts told in connection with this. At one time an eminent spiritualist visited Professor Henry to try and con- vince him that the raps which he produced were of supernatural origin. Professor Henry was skeptical on the subject, and though the raps were produced and were fiom the spirits, the exponent claimed, Professor Henry told him that the sounds were made, he was convinced, by some- thing the man had concealed about him. He would not believe anything else, al- though the spiritualist tried to convince him otherwise. Some time afterward the professor was traveling to New York when he met a Pleasant man on the train. The subject of spiritualism came up, and Professor Henry mentioned the fact of having been visited by the spiritualist, and how the latter had failed to prove to his satisfaction that the raps heard were anything but of natural or:gin. At the same time he expressed wonder how the sound had been produced. His companion laughed and said: “I can show you very easily, as I make the instruments myself by which the so- — spirit rapping is manifested.” le then pulled out of his pocket a cigar case, or its resemblance, and showed it to Professor Henry, It was really a small portable battery with electro-magnet and armature in a hard-rubber case. Wires cculd be attached to this and fixed to but- tons anywhere about the body, and the mere pressure on the button was sufficient to produce the rapping. An Early Effort. In the correspondence line some imterest- ing letters are shown. One of these is from Mr. Henry, written before the age of nine years, to his father in Albany, N. Y. It is remarkably well constructed for @ boy of that age, and shows his precocity. It is as follows: “Treasured Father and Mother: I em- brace the opportunity to write to you to inform you that I am well at this veriod. Likewise Grandmother and all the rest of my Relitives, and I flatter myself that these few Lines will find you enjoying your health and my brother and sister. It is a general time of health here. I endeveur to make the best improvement in my Learning that I profitably can, though at the first it seemed 4 Little irksome and hard and I hope to gain the points at Last. Pray, Dear parents, accept of my most humble duty to yourselves and kind Love to my Brother and Sister and N. I subscribe myself, hop- ing you will look over the blots, from your son, JOSEPH HENRY.” “Galway, July 26, 1808." There is specially interesting telegram from Varly, the eminent electrician of his time, to Prof. Henry. It is dated Valencia, July 28, 1866, received at Aspy Bay, the Bist. It is as follows: ‘Saturday cable laid. Perfeot. Is not this grand pleasure? Give my best wishes to ex-President Buchanan.” The Correspondence. ‘There are also letters from Baron Gerault, former German minister, and Lord Lyons, former British minister. One from George Bancroft is as follows: “My Dear Friend: Justice Swayne has let me know that he will dine with us today. Will you do us the favor and give us your company? Justice 8. ts of our fraternity. We dine at 6:30. Ever yours, . id “GEORGE BANCROFT. “Prof. Henry.” A letter from Chief Justice Taney is as follows: “My Dear Sir: I regret very much that I cannot come today.

TANEY.” Prof. Henry was first secretary of the Smithronien Institution after it was es- tablished by an act of Congress in 1846, and held the position until his death, May 13, 1878. He was born December 17, 1799. His place of birth was at Albany, N. Y. Mest of his boyhood was passed with his grandmother in Galway, Saratoga county, N. Y. Before his accepting the position of secretary of the Smithsonian he was pro- fessor in Princeton University. In May, 1850, he married Miss Harriet L. Alexander ai Schenectady, N.Y. —_—_.—__. EXCURSION The second of the series of balloon ascen- sions at River View took place yesterday afternoon. In consequence of the indispo- sition of Miss Shannon, who caught a se- vere cold from being mired In the mud of Swann creek after her ascension last Sun- day, Prof. Ed. Hutchinson, her manager, made the ascension yesterday. The balloon shot up in the air like an arrow, then took a@ southerly course over Fort Washington. At an elevation of about 6,500 feet the para- chute was cut loose, and the aeronaut des- cended in safety on the parade ground in the rear of the fort. Next Sunday there will be another ascension at the View by Miss Shannon, who will try to reach a higher elevation than she has ever gone before. The outings to Indian Head~provided by the trips on the Macalester are a source of rest and pleasure to hundreds of Washing- tonlans who are worn out with the heat or are in search of an enjoyable sail. The en- tire excursion affords one over four hours’ continuous comfort on the water, and the steamer’s route lies through the finest river scenery in this part of the country. On the boat concerts are given by Schroeder's band, and that, with the never failing cool breezes, make an unmatchable trip for a hot evening. Everything in the way of good order and excellent management 1s looked out for, and no detail is omitted that could add ‘one whit to the plea: the oce: Bt ers, while most convenient for the gentle- men, are seldom found. The Macalesier, however. has one perfect in its appoint- ments.

All the other forms of entertainment will be en- joyef apart from the special features pro- vided. The Macalester leaves her wharf tonight at 6:30. The third of the deligntful trips will be made by the River Queen to Chapel Point next Sunday. The last two trips were so well patronized that there is no doubt but that a big crowd of pleasure seckers will be on beard. Fifty-five miles straight away down the river, through the loveliest of, scenery, and a beautiful spot to while away a summer's day in when you get there, all for 25 cents, arc sufficient inducements to make the trip popular. The boat’ stays at the Point about four hours, which allows comfortable time to enjoy the salt-water bathing, crabbing, fishing, or any other of the numerous amusements, and qs it re- turns to the city at ) in the evening, the trip is not too uncomfortably long to take the children on. The boat-ride is all that can be wished tor. The Marshall Hall Steamboat Company have taken every measure to provide for the comfort of the passengers, and excellent meals are pro- vided on the boat, as well as at the hotel on the grounds. —_+ FAITH CURIST ON the parish- TRIAL. Legal Questions 1 in a Case in East Washington, After the report closed of the proceed- ings of the United States branch of the Police Court, published in The Star of last evening, the case of Mrs. Bertha M. Sess- ford, the Christian sclentist, who was charged with practicing medicine in the District of Columbia without a license, was taken up. As heretofore stated in The Star, the case grew out of the death, May 28 last, of little Morgan Owen of East Washington of diphtheria. ‘The patient had been at- tended by Dr. W. P. C. Hazen, who, after several visits, pronounced the condition of the child to be very critical, and said that to save the life It would be necessary that | a surgical operation be performed. This was at first agreed to by the parents of the boy, and Dr. Hazen arranged to perform the operation May 27, the day previous to the child's death. On reaching the house, however, he was met at the door by a Mrs. Quick, now deceased, who told him that the family had called in Mrs. Sessford, who would attempt to cure the patient by means of prayer. Much testimony was heard, and the ques- tion as to whether or not Mrs. Sessford @ physician was argued at great length, both for and against the defendant, but was not concluded, Judge Mills decid ing that the case was of too much impo ance to be passed upon hastily, and an- nouncing that he would postpone further hearing until Friday afternoon, at which time he would give Mrs. Sessford an op- portunity to controvert certain points in the testimony against her.

HUZZAHS, FIREWORKS AND BANQUET Champions of thé World Regard-| less of San Antonio Deci jon. A PLEASING }SURPRISE The Morton Cadets as they last evening stepped from¢ the Southern railway train, which had borne them through the long and tiresome journey from San Antonio, Texas, were accorded a reception of such magnitude and of so much warmth that the depression of defeat, whether warranted or not, was swept en- tirely away. The home-coming warriors were received as though they were cham- pions three times over, and the boys will probably never forget the demonstration and the Kind words said to them. A street parade of generous proportions, followed by a banquet and speechmaking, consti- tuted the reception. As the company drew nearer home the members grew more impatient. As the train approached Danville, the entire party gave three hearty cheers for old Virginia. Alexandria and even Jackson City were hailed, and when the Washington monu- ment loomed up in the dusk, the shaft was hailed with delight. “Home, Sweet Home” and “Home Again’ were sung with en- thusiasm as the train puiled into the 6th street depot. At the Depot. The prize winners were welcomed as they alighted from the train by a committee of the stay-at-homes. Line was formed, and the Morton Cadets marched through the solid mass of cheering humanity to Penn- sylvania avenue. There fireworks were ex- ploded and bands and drum corps played. As the company proceeded to its place at the left of the line, the escort presented arms. Without delay the parade moved west on Pennsylvania avenue to 15th street, to New York avenue, where the Mortons were again passed in review. Those in line were the following: Lieuten- ant Colonel Urell and staff, John B. Hen- derson Drum Corps, two companies of the Washington Light Infantry Corps, under the command of Major B. R. Ross; 4th Battalion of the National Guard, com- manded by Capt. J. M. Williams, Captain cod marching at the head of Com- pany B, Captain Streeks with Company C and Captain Redmond, Company B; the St. John’s Drum Cor; the 2d Battalion, Major Richard A. O’Brien; Company A, commanded by Capt. E. C. Edwards, and Company D, by Capt. F. G. Stut: Potomac Drum Corps, preceding ‘the Na- tional Fencibles, under Captain Domer, the special escort of the Mortons. The stay- at-home Mortons were in the rear of the Feucibles and they followed the drill team. On the Line of March, Capt. Shilling and his prize winners were extended an ovation all along the line of march. Fireworks were discharged con- Stanuly, and the spectators lining the side- walks cheered themselves hoarse. On en- tering the quarters at the armory the boys were warmly welcomed by the mothers and sisters and sweethearts gathered there. Viscarding blankets, bags and equipments, the company was again formed and marched to Freund's, where, without de- lay, the tired and hungry soldier lads de- voted their attention to the discussion of an elatorate menu. When the appetite had been satisfied, Col. Cecil Clay of the 2d Regiment, who’ pr sided, rapped for order and made a plea: ant address. There are societies formed for the purpose of honoring their ancestors, who were minute men, said Col. Clay, but he saw no reason why Washington couid not be proud of its second men. At a wed- ding ceremony the first man, the groom, is not the best man; that personage is the second man. Col. Clay declared that the entire National Guard of the District w: proud of the Morton Cadets, and he added that the National Guard is not such a ba lot when you compare it with outsider: ‘the colonel extended the boys a weleome on the part of the 2d Regiment, the Ist Regiment, and the entire brigade. “We know you did the best you could,” concluded Col. Clay, “and everybody knows what that means. They don't care a snap what the judges at San Antohio an- nounced.” Capt. Charles S. Domer, who was loudly applauded when he entered the room, was then introduced as one who knew som thing about the drill busin Capt. Dom- er stated his pleasure at being granted an opportunity to congratulate the Morton Cadets. He disliked, he said, to impeach a decision of an army judge, and not having witnessed the drill, he could not properly criticise the drill of the Governor's Guard. “I know the Sealy Rifles, Company D of St. Paul, the Thurston Rifles and the Belk- nap Rifles," continued Capt. Domer, “and I can truthfully say that you achieved henor by defeating them. I assure you that the National Fencibles are in sympa- thy with you, that they congratulate you on securing second place, and sincerely wished you would secure first honor.” Col. Urell’s Estimate. 7 Lieut. Col. Urell, in a@ stirring speech, said that in his opinion, although the Mor tens did not return with the cup, U brought with them the championship, not only of the United States, but of the world. Col. Urell thought that the people of Washington should bear the expense of the drill companies that journey far away and work so hard for the honor of Washington and the District Guard. Maj. Richarg A. O'Brien, after relating an amusing experience at Fort Washing- ton, went on to say that the District Na- tional Guard ts without a peer. He com- plimented the Morton Cadets for their good work and spoke in the highest terms of Captain Shilling, who, he said, brought the company to its present state of perfection, after having resumed command of the o: ganization when it was about to be mus- tered out of the guard for inefficiency. Major O'Brien is proud of the Morton Ca- dets, he explained, because they entered the guard as a member of his battalion and are again under his command. An Unbiased Opinion. Mr. Allen D. Albert, jr., and other news- Paper men who accompanied the team to San Antonio, told of the good work and the absolutely perfect drill put up by the boys way down in Texas. In the opinion of these speakers, the company was clearly entitled to first prize, having far excelled CITY ITEMS. - ————- “Schlitz” Milwaukee Beer is Famous the country over as being the oldest, purest and best beer in América.

Mr. James T. Petty, auditor for the Dis- trict of Columbia, made one of the most pleasing speeches of the evening. Mr. Pet- ty told how proud he was of the Morton Cadets and of how proud all Washington should feel of its gallant company. Mr. Petty said that for several days past he has been engaged in discharging some old debts of the District National Guard, and the work was a pleasure to him. He thought a great deal of the local guards- men and particularly of the Morton Ca- jets. “There is a little fellow here tonight who deesn‘t cut much of a figure, but who seems to be worth his weight in gold,” Colonel Clay took occasion to state, when Mr. Petty had resumed his seat. “‘The hour is late, you are all tired and should be in bed. But I know no one will leave until Captain Shilling has said a word.” Capt. Shilling Cheered. As the youthful commander of the Mor- tons arose he was applauded and cheered to the echo. Captain Shilling said his views had been expressed completely and con- cisely by the newspaper men, but he would add that he does not see how his company could possibly drill. better than it did last Thursday before the judges at San An- tenio. Captain Shilling gracefully extended the thanks of his company and himself for the rousing reception that had ma:ked their home coming, saying that the demonstra- tion, though unexpected, was thoroughly appreciated.

Work has been resumed upon the new Mt. Pleasant Congregational Church, on Columbia road, near 14th street northwest, and of which the Rev. M. Ross Fishburn ts pastor. As was stated in The Star at the time, ground was broken for the new build- ing by President F. E. Clark, founder of the Y. P. 8. C. E,, at the time of the Endeavor convention last July. The excavation was made and the stone walls of the basement built, at a cost of $3,000. For financial rea- sons It was deemed wise to discontinue the work of construction, and nothing has been a upon the structure since last Novem- Recently a loan of $15,000 for ten years, without interest, has been obtained from the Congregational Church Building So- ciety of New York. This, together with other available funds, make it possible to proceed. The contrect was signed last Week, and it is expected that a part of the building will be ready for occupancy early in December. The corner stone is to be laid with appropriate ceremonies some time next month. The cost of the lot and of so much of the edifice as it is proposed to complete at pres- ent. will be about $36,000. The building committee comprises Mr. D. S. Carll, sup- erintendent of the Capital Traction Com- pany; Mr. T. C. Dulin and the pastor of the chureh,*Rev, Mr. Fishburn. Mr. B. Frank Meyers is the architect, and Messrs. Em- mert & Heisley the contractors. ‘(TCHING GK SEASES SPEEDY CURE TREATMENT for torturing, dis- figuring itching, burning, bleeding and scaly. skin and scalp d'wases, with loss of hair.—Warm baths with CUTICURA SOAP, gentle applications of CUTICURA (ointment), the great skin cure, and mild doses of CUTICURA RESOLVENT.
