The police in the several precincts were notified last night to look out for a colored girl who is wanted on a charge of larceny. She called at the house of Mrs. J. E. Div- ver, No. 1408 6th street, and obtained a black dress by telling her she had been sent for it by Mrs. McDevitt, who wanted t> attend a funeral today. Mrs. MeDevi:t being a close personal friend of Mrs. Div- ver, the latter did not hesitate to grant her Fequest. She was very much surprised when she learned that she was the vic- tim of a swindler.

William W. Tippett, a neatly dressed cclored man, by profession a barber, today Went to jail for five days in accordance With a sentence imposed upon him last September. Tippett was brought into curt the ith of that month on the charge of keeping his barber shop open on Sunday. He was convicted and fined $20. Upon a plea of poverty, but willingness to pay, Judge Kimball released him on his per- scnal obligation to settle the amount in- side of ten days. About a week later Tip- Pett called at Prosecutor Pugh's office and paid % to M. W. Quinlan, collector of fines, on account, and since then, although brought into court several times in con- nection with the case, he has paid nothing. Judge Kimball told Tippett that unless he could pay the balance at once he would have to go to jail for a period of five days, and he went down. —.—__ $10 To Magara Falls and Return $10 via Peansyh ia Railroad.

The Remedy Furnished by the De- parment of Agriculture—Circular Issued Containing Information. ‘The Department of Agriculture, through its bureau of animal industry, has just pre- pared vaccine for the cattle disease known as “blackleg.”” It has also issued a circular containing facts about the disease Itse]f and full directions for using the vaccine. It is desired by the bureau that before the vac- cine is distributed to stock owners in gen- eral, a record be obtained of several thous- and successful vaccinations. For this pur- pose a quantity of vaccine will be distrib- uted to such persons who desire to make preliminary vaccinations and report the results to the bureau. The vaccine as put up by the bureau consists of a brownish powder, which is prepared in packets con- taining ten doses each. Frequent reports have come to the bu- reau for several years in reference to the great mortality from “blackleg” among young stock in many widely separated dis- tricts of the United States. The annual losses, especially in some of the southern and western states, have been so great as to equal or exceed the losses of cattle from all other causes combined. They have been felt particularly by the progressive stock owrers, as the largest percentage of the calves which became affected were either full-blood or highly graded animals, which seem to be more susceptible to the disease than the ordinary common-bred stock. Detrimental Effect. The continued existence of the “black- leg” hag had such a detrimental effect upon the cattle industry in general, and espe- cially among those stock owners who have endeavored to improve their herds at great expense, that an investigation was made by the bureau with the view to providing some measure by which the steady increase In losses might be prevented or reduced as muctr as possible. ‘The annual losses in certain badly infect- ed districts in Europe, where the disease leng prevailed, became so disastrous that cattie raising had to be abandoned. Three French scientists twelve or fifteen years ago succeeded in producing a “blackleg” vaccine. This is used extensively now in a number of countries where the disease pre- vails. The method used is that of injecting) into each calf two doses of highly attenu- ated “blackleg” virus, with an interval of ten days between the two innoculations, A very mild vaccine is used for the first, which is called “the first lymph.” The sub- Sequent one, with a stronger virus, is “the second lymph.” In each case the vaccine is introduced by means of a hypodermic syringe under the skin of the lower part of the animal's tail. Later this method, which is very inconven‘ent, especially where a large number of animais are to be treat- ed, was mcdified by a German scientist. He reduced the process to a single injection with less attenuated virus and chose the loose skin just behind the shoulder for the point of the innoculation. Satisfactory Method. This method was adopted very extensive- ly and very satisfactorily in eastern Europe and northern Africa. For that reason it has, on account of its simplicity, been taken as the foundation for the investigation made by the bureau. What is known as a “single vaccine” was prepared in the pathological laboratory. Subsequently it was tested on a large num- ber of caives in Texas, both of high grade stock and common. The result warranted the coaclusion that the vaccine is satis- factory in every manner. It is hoped at the bureau that by the vaccine method the “blackleg’”’ will be effectually stamped out. ———__ OPENS AUSPICLOUSLY. Large Attendance and Amusing Fea- tures at Children’s Benefit Fete. The opening last evening of the fete to be held this week on the grounds at the corner of North Capitol and I streets, un- der the auspices of St. Joseph’s Union, was most auspicious. The object of the enter- tainment is for the purpose of raising funds with which to buy beds for and to make necessary repairs to the country home for the children of St. Ann’s Asylum, near Berwick, Md. This property was re- cently purchased by the asylum, and a comparatively small part of the cost re- mains unpaid. It is hoped that the pro- ceeds of the fete will be sufficient to clear it_of debt. Picturesque and pretty are the booth’ and stands, and they were well patronized by the large crowd in attendance last evening. The feature is a great amount of farcy work, articles of this character hav- ing been contributed by the Sisters of Charity from every state in the Union. The collection is, in fact, almost unpre- cedented. The paddle stand is an attraction in it- self, and did a flourishing business. There is a*horse shoe booth which is a bower of beauty, and many other attractive stands. The cinematographe is in evidence in a large tent in the field. Other things in the amusement line are swings, merry-go- rounds. and games of chance and skill, to say nothing of the dancing privileges, Large crowds are anticipated for the re- mainder of the week. ———.__ WILL BE TAKEN TO BROOKLYN. Col. Reid’s Ashes to Rest With Those of His Father. Mr. S. Chester Reid of New York city, eldest son and namesake of the late Col. Sam C. Reid, who came on to make ar- rangements for the execution of the’ last wishes of the deceased, will leave at once with his father’s ashes, and have them Placed in the grave of the latter's father, Capt. Samuel Chester Reid, at Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn, It is considered as most fitting that Col. Reld’s ashes should be placed with those of his father, to whom he devoted his life in the vindication of his claim, which made him a most conspicuous figure in Washington for the past half century. No ceremony will be held, as it was Col. Reid’s wishes that the utmost simplicity be observed. See Excitirg sack race at Congress Heights A tonight. e —_>—_—_. Threatened to Commit Suicide.

GLEN - ECHO - ON - THE-POTOMAC. — With the passage of time the popularity of Glen-Hcho-on-the-Potomac seems to in- crease to a marked degree. Although it rained quite heavily early last evening, several thousand people de their way to the beautiful resort, and were more than rewarded by the entertainment in the am- phitheater, that su: in merit those that have preceded it. For this week the Program includes the artistic and accom- plished Fadettes, the famous orchestra of women from Boston; Lynch and Trainor, the military marvels, in a high-class ex- hibition of quick and rapid work with the musket and bayonet; the grotto trio of juvenile singers, Robert Emmet Walsh, Paul Brady and Horace Laws, who are a whole entertainment in themselv2s; How- ard and Leigh, the local contortionists, in an original and entertainmg sketch, en- titled “The Tramp and the Frog,” and the cinematograph, with scores of new ric- tures. The music-loving citizens of Wash- ington will learn with regret that the Fa- dettes are to leave Glen Echo September I No musical organization in recent years has been more thoroughly enjoyed by the people. Their excellent music has con- tributed very largely toward creating the decided interest which Washington citizens now manifest in Glen Echo. It is hoped the Fadettes will remain throughout the season. LAWN PARTY AT BROOKLAND. Ar- rangements of quite an eclaboraie nature have been completed for the lawn party to be given under the auspices of St. An- thony’s Church at Brookland, commencing this evening. The grounds where the party is to be held are near the terminus of the electric cars, and are therefore easy of ac- cess. In addition to a number of cnter- taining features, dancing is one of the at- tractions provided. The funds derived from the lawn party will be expended in the direction of securing a pastoral resi- dence for Rev. Joseph Cummane. The lawn party will be continued tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. ROBERT DOWNING.—Robert Downing began rehearsals at the Academy of Music yesterday. Mr. Downing will be supported this season by one of the strongest com- panies in the country, a company of people who can act. Among the prominent names which will be upon the program are those of Adelaide Fitz Allen, Harriet Sterling, Helen T. Potter, Jeanette Cleary, Eugene Moore, Edward A. Hoyt, C. W. Vance, Clement St. Martin, Alexander Carlton, George Holt, Samuel Steele, Charles Mc- Murdy, Burke Hennessey, Viccor Strass, Bailey Richardson, Henry Canfield and a number of less notable actors and actress- es. Mr. Downing will open his season August 30 at the Academy. KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—Be- cause of the excellence of the entertain- ment, Kernan’s was packed last night. It was the debut of a new organization, whose object for existence is to produce mirth and merriment in large installments through a period of two hours and a half. That it has already attained its object was testified by the hearty applause each num- ber received. It is styled “The Bon Ton Burlesque Company,” and is composed of a score of pretty and shapely maidens, a coterie of funny comedians and a number of clever specialists. The company boasts two burlesques, “The Matrimonial Bureau” and “The Vassar Girls in Camp.” There is plenty of opportunity in each for clever work, and the company does not lose a chance to please. With the conclusion of the first burlesque, the olio commences with Miss Pearl Hight. Then came Nestor and Stevens in ten minutes of rollicking fun. Deman and Hill proved pleasing song- sters and Kennedy and Brice opened a fusillade of jokes that the oldest theater goer never heard before. A. C. Lawrence gave a finished ventrijoquistic specialty, and then came the concluding burlesque, which was very clever. EXCU IONS. Tomorrow the regular Wednesday trips of the steamer Samuel J. Pentz will be made under the personal direction of Capt. E. S. Randall. These midweek trips to River View have always been the favorites of many, particularly the young people, and throughout the season they have been well attended, the attendance increasing each week. The trip to the View on the Pentz is a delightful one. On the way down Chris Arth, jr.’s, band gives a con- cert of the latest airs; at the View danc- ing begins as soon as the boat arrives, and continues all day and evening. Between dances there is the chute, the rolier coast- er and dozens of other things to amuse the visitor. In the View dining room the best of meals can be had at less than city prices and all the delicacies of the season are served. Tomorrow the well-known Carroll Institute will give its second excursion of the season and will bring out a large at- tendance. The Pentz will leave her wharf tomorrow at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m. and returning will leave River View at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m. The excursion of Empire Council, Sons of Jonadab, to River View yesterday was quite a success, despite the fact, that the storm in the evening kept many people at heme who intended to make the tr'p—as it was, over 1,000 persons visited the View during the day and had a good time. Today the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, one of the strongest organiza- tions of trainmen in this city, are giving their yearly outing to River View, and large numbers of the trainmen, with their wives, sweethearts and sisters, have gone to the View for the day’s outing, and it is expected that the 6:45 trip in the evening will carry the largest crowd of the season. The committee in charge are: F. T. Bow- ler, W. H. Burrier, D. O'Brien, J. A. Deihl and J. F. Robey. Noble W. C. Maybury, mayor of Detroit, in welcoming the Imperial Council of the Shrine to that city last June said: “We thank you for coming, because you bring cheerfulness.” Almas Temple gives her annual outing to Marshall Hall tomorrow evening, and this year will allow the nobles to sell tickets to their friends not mem- bers of the order. Cheerfulness and mirth will predominate. Those who attend will forget dull care during the four hours’ trip. A program of eighteen numbers will be rendered during the evening, covering an hour on the boat each way and an hour on the grounds. A burlesque cake walk and a “reminiscence of Detroit” will also be introduced by nobles of the Shrine. It is the duty of every patriotic Ameri- can to jovrney.to Mount Vernon and by his presence pay his respects to the memory of the father of his country. The trip it- self is a delightful one, the sail down the Potomac showing the most picturesque bits of scenery in this part of the country. ‘Then, when once at the mansion, one will want to visit all the fan.ous rooms and see the apartments occupied by Washington just as they were in his time. The furni- ture and fixtures and all the arrangements have been retained intact—so perfect have the fixtures been kept, in fact, that one can almost imagine Washington hed but short- ly gone out and would return to welcome the guests. Aside from the historic inter- ezt of the place, it is most pleasant to spend a day there. There are groves of fine, large trees and wide expanses of lawn, all kept in such perfect condition that it Iccks almost like a picture instead of the reality. The safest, cleanest and most di- rect route is by the Macalester—the only way that includes a trip on the river and views of the intervening points of interest between town and Mount Vernon. Of course, while at Mount Vernon, the chief point of interest will be the tomb of Wash- ington. It is situated in one of the pret- tlest parts of the grounds, and the splen- did location, together with the beauty of the tomb itself, makes a sight that will im- Press one and leave a mental picture as a souvenir of the trip. ——$_—__ Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.

VORUNTEER FIREMEN, Mr. Peabody Corrects Some Reminis- cences of Col. Berret. To the Editor of The Evening Stat: I notice in reading Col. Jas, G. Berret’s address before the Columbia Historical So- ciety that he said under the head of “A Disorderly Element”: “There were two or- ganizations ‘of volunteer firemen. They were politically hostile to each other, and upon many occasions, whenever the oppor- tunity offered and they came together, by a false alarm of fire or otherwise, disorder generally obtained, but with a very small guard, what was called the auxiliary guard, organized by authority of Congress, these small difficulties were easily taken care of.” At the time he speaks of there were nine volunteer fire companies in the city, not tWo political fire organizations. On’ the 13th of September, 1857, there was a po- litical fire company organized, known as the States Hose; in the records it will be found that sometimes it was called the Good Will Hose. This company was never recognized by the regular fire companies. It was then that a reign uf terror com- menced, not on the outskirts, but upon the most public streets. About two weeks after its organization the Northern Liberties Fire Company, which had performed fire duty for seventeen years, was attacked whilst parading on Pennsylvania avenue by mem- bers of this organization with firearms. The attack was premeditated and well known to the police, who made no effort to prevent it. There was also another police force other than the auxiliary guard, which he makes no mention of. The mayor could not disband these com- panies, for they were fermed under an act of Congress giving the citizens power to organize five companies: ‘By procuring $500 worth of fire apparatus they could exempt seventy-five men fron militia and jury duty, and by procuring $1,000 worth they could exempt 100 men: They were incor- porated by the same act, and could sue and be sued, and of course they were amenable to the laws as all other‘ citizens. There was a public school placed in the building over the engine house of the Northern Liberties Fire Company against the protest of the company. One of the fe- male teachers or scholars was insulted, and it was charged that sume one connect- ed with the fire company was the guilty party. The matter was investigated and the charge disproved. ;sThe company then offered to build a»school house if the au- thorities would -remove the scholars from its building, but the » authorities would not accept the offer, and as the house, thdugh built for the company, was owned by the city, the company vacated the premises rather than have any more such disgraceful charges made against it. It is still in existence today, and can be called together by any ten members. The one political company—the States Hose or Good Will, as it was sometimes called—d think, continued until the break- ing out of the war, in 1961; at least it ‘was in existence during the campaign in 1860, as it made a raid upon the’ Wide- Awakes, a republican club that met in what is now the Tremont House, at tne corner of 2d street and Indiana avenue. (Some one may tell you this was the Breckinridge Club, but it was the same gang). After the breaking out of the war, in 1861, complaints were made cf the rowdy gangs (not fire- men) that infested the city. The provost guard started to patrol the city and peace reigned in Warsaw. In historical essays it does not do to depend upon memory. By examining the files of the Intelligencer and Star from 1804 to 1864 you can get a fair history of the volunteer -fire department, and it will compare favorably with volun- teer departments of other cities as to effi- ciency and orderly conduct.

Active Operations for Building Co- lumbia and Maryland “Railroad. Since the discharge of the receivers of the Columbia and Maryland Rallway Com- pany, which took place last Saturday, the speedy, completion of the road seems to be acertainty. One of the officials-sgated yes- terday that within two weeks work will be resumed along the entire road. It will take about two months to com- plete the road from the District terminus at Rives’ Station to Hyattsvills. Six cars will be operated between Hyattsville and Washington. They will leave every half hour, and will make the trip in twenty-five minutes. One milljon and a half of dollars has al- ready been expended, and it will require the same amount, possibly more, to com- plete the work and put the road in opera- tion. So soon as the minor affairs of the re- ceivership are wound up the directors of the company will assume full control of the enterprise.” The officers of the road are R. J. Baker, president; R.

Obsequies Over Remains of the Late Henry King, Jr. Particularly solemn and impressive were the funeral ceremonies late this afternoon over the remains of Henry King, jr., whose unexpected death Sunday evening caused genuine sorrow throughout the community, and who, for more than a quarter of a century, was a representative business man and a leading philanthropist of the na- tional capital. G i Owing to the fact that the Eighth Street Synagogue has recently been demolished, in order to make way for the proposed new structure, in which Mr. King was so deeply interested, the ceremonies were held at the late residence of the deceased, No. 814 7th street. All day long a ceaseless stream of people through the rooms, his multitude of friends calling to take a final look at the countenance of the man who was so respected and beloved, not only by his own race, but by all who knew him. Messenger boys were kept busy delivering at the house telegrams of sympathy and condolence from out-of-town friends and acquaintances. When the hour set for the funeral ar- rived, the large parlors and hallways were crowded, and, beczuse of the limited space, hundreds who desired to show their re- spect for the memory of the deceased were unable to be accommodated within. The services were simple, and were conducted by Rev. Louis Stern, rabbi of the Wash- ington Hebrew Congregation. Rabbi Stern was away with his family, on a summer outing, when the news of the death of Mr. King reached him. He immediately start- ed for this city, arriving late this morning. Rabbi Stern paid a glowing tribute to the deceased. Mr. King was a particular friend of his, he stated, and the news of his death was in the nature of a stunning blow, from which he had not recovered, and probably never would, completely. The rabbi spoke at length of the lovable traits possessed by Mr. King, and of his value to the com- munity. Not only the family of the dead man, but all Washington as well, it was added, had sustained a severe loss by his’ demise. The casket was conveyed to a hearse, and, followed by a sorrowing procession, was slowly driven to the Hebrew burying ground, in Anacostia, where interment was made. The pallbearers on behalf of the family were Messrs. I. L. Blout, 8. W. Augenstein, E. Heidenheimer and 8. Ben- singer. Those who served on behalf of Washington Hebrew Congregation were Messrs. ly, were represented among the pallbear- ers. Before the remains were lowered into the grave Mr. Simon Wolf made a feeling ad- dress, detailing experiences gained through years of intimate acquaintance with the deceased. Mr. King was a man among men, declared Mr. Wolf, and his good deeds and lovable character will survive forever. tl EMORY GROVE CAMP. Meeting of 1897 Opens Under Favor- able Conditions. The camp meeting of 1897 opened under very favorable circumstances Sunday, and at the love feast, led by Rev. J. H. Bailey, a great religious feeling was manifested. At 11 o'clock Rev. M. W. Clair, presiding elder, preached from Genesis, 4ist chapter and 40th verse, his theme being, “Christian Character.” The sermon was listened to by a large congregation, many attending from Washington Grove. The music was under direction of Prof. John Ross, with Mr. Isaac Ross at the organ and Mr. Charles Ross with the cornet. Mr. Nicholas Mocca- bee led the prayer meeting at 2 o'clock. The gospel horn reassembled the wor- shipers for the 3 o'clock service, and Pre- siding Elder Clair preached again to a very large audience, taking for his text “And he sought to see Jesus,” St. Luke, 19th chap- ter, 3d verse. The sermon was a heart- reaching effort and caused many to imquire for the true way of happiness. The music on this occasion was under the direction of Prof. Wesley Ennis, with Miss Rachael Barnes as organist. Rev. J. W. Meredith, pastor of Laytons- ville cireuit, and one of the managers of the camp, preached at 8 o'clock, from the text “Be of good cheer,” Matthew, 14th chapter and 27th verse. The sermon was an able one, and many regrets were heard from those who were compelled to leave the grounds and miss the service on account of the thunder storm, which broke over the camp. It is hoped by the people that some kind-hearted person will ere long build them a comfortable tabernacle on the grounds. The camp will close August 30. The Rev. T. O. Carrell, preacher, in charge, is as busy as a bee. For aid in his labor he has around-him an able body of preachers and a large corps of assistants. ——<— Slight Fire Quickly Extinguished. .

A Physician Forgets Where He Placed Money and Valuables. Dr. James A. Harrison, whose office is at No. 1325 G street, had Detectives Wee- don, Rhodes and Muller up until 2 o'clock this morning, making an investigation of an alleged $925 robbery. The doctor's re- Port was that $400 in cash, a $400 diamond ring and a watch and chain worth $125 had been stolen. It turned out that the money and ring had been packed in a trunk and the doctor had forgotten where he put them. The watch was also fount where it had been laid away. Some months ago the watch was stolen and recovered in a pawnshop, where the thief had gotten a loan on it. The doctor, remembering his former experience, thought he had been robbed again, and hurried to the police for assistance. Beautiful roses at 25 cts. doz. Gude,1224 F. —Advertisement. AMUSEMENTS.
