Dr. Geo. S. Stebbins in the Springfleld Republican. 9 one not familiar with the cunning deceit and felgning of disease practiced by the soldiers in the late war, in camp, in hospital and in the field, in order to escape duty and active service, can have any con- ception of its extent; and no one who has not served upon an examination board of surgeons for pensions can have any ade- quate idea of the absurd grounds upon which many seek to establish their right to a pension. As soldiers in war time would walk on crutches for years, with one leg drawn up, and kept so night and day, as if permanently contracted by disease, all the while feigning the whole thing; would so simulate eonsumption in its’ advanced stages, by painting their cheeks to imitate the hectic flush, and by an artistic use of the brush, exceeding that of the expert in the theater green room, would draw lines here, cast shadows there, upon the face, giving it a sufficiently cadaverous appear- ance to secure their classification among the hepel cases; would manufacture and raise sufficient bloody sputa, by free chew- ng of red chalk, as to € the medical inspectors of army hospitals; would claim to be lame, partially id, deaf, dumb, de- mented, everything but dead; is it not’ fair to suppose that the same devices are re- sorted to by the soldiers in their efforts to secure pensions? Whether fair or not, the remains that many have, and it might even surprise some of the pension enthusiasts in Congress and lessen their zeal in creating new classes of pensioners if they knew how many have based their claims for a pension upon having been kicked by a mule thirty odd years ago, without a single evidence but the soldier's word that the vicious beast ever served them thus rudely.” aes The Undaunted West.

TRIBUTE TO THEIR HERO|APETTYSWINDLING SCHEME Confederate Veterans Do Honor to Memory of General B. E. Leo. Addresses by Distinguished Repre- sentatives of the Southern Army— Music and Feasting. There was a large assemblage last even- ing at Confederate Veterans’ Hall in a re- union and to celebrate the ninetieth anni- versary of the late Gen. Robert E. Lee’s birthday. The assemblage embraced rep- resentatives from all conditions of life, dignified ministers, judges of courts, sen- ators, representatives and civilians of every degree. They talked, joked, laughed, sang songs, had speeches and made merry gen- erally until long after thes19th of January had passed away. The hall was beautifully decorated with national and confederate flags, the magnifi- cent full-length portrait of Gen. Lee, by Elder, loaned by the Corcoran Art Gallery, hanging over the president's chair, and a fine picture of Gen. Washington over that being festooned with garlands of green. On either side were pictures of Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, Wade Hampton, Fitzhugh Lee and many other noted gener- als and officers. There were pictures, also, of Lincoln and Grant, both of whom, with many notable generals on the Union side, were repeatedly and most Kindly referred to by some of the speakers. The meeting was called to order by President Robt. 1. Flemming in a felicitous speech, announcing the significance of the occasion, and, after prayer by Rev. Ran- dolph McKim, chaplain of the association, Capt. Chas. C. Ivey, secretary, read from the original of general order No. 9 in the handwriting of General Lee, announcing the surreender and terms of peace at Ap- pomattox. An Original Poem. Mr. Franklin H. Mackey read a short original poem to the memory of the dead comrades. Letters of regret at not being able to at- tend were read from a number of promi- nent invited guests, among them Gen. G. W. C. Lee, son of Gen. R. E. Lee, now liv- ing at Ravenswood, Va. Telegrams of greeting were ordered sent to other camps in Baltimore, Richmond and Alexandria, who were at the time celebrating the same event. ‘The first speaker of the evening was “Private” John Allen of Mississippi, who opened the evening's “campaign” by set- ting every one in fine humor. The next speaker was Representative Peter J. Otey, who commanded the famous Otey battery in the war. His speech was enthusiastical- ly received. He read a number of tele- srams, characteristic of the man’s humor ever under trying circumstances, which passed between President Lincoln and some of his commanders prior to and after bat- ites which did not result as expected. Ex- Governor Simms of Mississippi paid a sraceful tribute to the soldierly qualities and Christian character of General Lee. Senator Cockrell’s speech was a plea for fraternal relations with the survivors of the Union army, at the same time extolling the confederate veteran and the imper‘gh- able fame won under the leadership of Gen. Lee and other noted generals of the south. Justice Shepard of the District Court of Appeals pald a warm tribute to Gen. Lee and his followers. He was followed by Gen. Eppa Hunton and Gen. McButler, when refreshments were announced. Succeeding the Feast. After the guests of the association had been feasted and the members had had a bountiful supply, a number of impromptu speeches were made, and singing of songs was indulged in for an hour or so. Capt. Frank Cunningham of Richmond inter- spersed the proceedings with southern pa trioule songs. Instrumental music was fur- nished by Comrade Weber's band, and such tunes as “Dixie,” “Bonnie Blue Flag,” “Old Kentucky Home” and “Suwanee River” received tumultuous applause. The association, it is claimed, has never had @ more successful and altogether en- joyable celebration than that of last night. The Committees. The members of the various committees having charge of arrangements were Presi- dent Robt. I. Fleming, Robert W. Hunter, Franklin C. Mackey, L. L. Lomax, William A.

A meeting was held last evening at the residence of Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith, 1325 16th street, when the first step was taken in a movement which it is hoped will re- sult in the erection in this city of an out- door memorial statue of the poet Long- fellow. Dr. Mackay-Smith called the meeting to order and stated in brief the object of the gathering, which, he said, was to promote the erection in this city, where so many statues of military heroes afe to be seen, a statue embodying the peaceful ideal. He said that it seemed appropriate that there should be here in some enduring form a memorial of a poet who had a deep hold upon his countrymen and was pre-emi- nently an American and a national poet. Longfellw, he said, is to many our first poet; others give him at least the second place in their hearts. There are but few sites left now, he added, and Congress, doubtless, would give a site if private means should provide for the statue. A committee of three, consisting of Chief Justice Fuller, Senator Hoar and General Greely, was appointed .to con- sider ¢ plan of permanent organization, and the committee subsequently recom- mended that a board of regents be estab- lished, all the gentlemen present to be members, together with others in various parts of the country to be added by a vote of the board. This was accepted. ‘The committee also reported as permanent officers: President, Melville W. Fuller; vice president, George F. Hoar. It was agreed that an executive board of five members should be named hereafter, and that this board shall appoint a secretary. Mr. Edward F. Looker of Riggs’ Bank will act as treasurer for the present. An informal interchange of views result- ed in favor of an out-door memorial of a high order of artistic merit. Chief Jus- uce Fuller said that a classmate of Long- fellow’s at Bowdoin, James W. Bradbury, was yet living, hale and hearty, at the age of ninety-three. Senator Hoar named Charles Eliot Norton, President Eliot and othe! rominent scholars, who would hearti favor the undertaking. ‘Those present were Chief Justice Fuller, Bishop iurst, Senator Hoar, President Whitman, Rev. Dr. McKim, John A. Kas- son, General Greely, Mr. Henry E. Pellew, Prof. Bigelow, Mr. John Joy Edson, Dr. Swan M. Burnett, Mr. Frank W. Hack- ett and Mr. George R. Stetson, together with Dr. Mackay-Smith. Mr. Hackett acted as secretary of the aneeting. see te LIGHTING EAST CAPITOL STREET. Estimate of Cost of Introducing Are Lamps. The House District committee’ several days ago requested the District Commis- sioners to submit to the committee an esti- uiate for the proper lighting, with electrict- ty for one year, of East Capitol street from 2d to 13th streets, including the north and south sides of LincoIn Park. Today the Commissioners wrote the committee that nineteen are lamps would be required on East Capitol street between 24 and llth streets, thirteen on the four sides of Lin- coln Park, and that the maximum rate al- lowed by law being $91.25 a lamp, the tot-1 cost would be $2,200 per annum. ‘The erec- tion of the lamps on East Capitol street would cost $1,739.25; the cost of building the conduit around Lincoln Park would be $2,361.39, the erection of the thirteen Jamps and along the latter conduit would cost $886.70. ~ a oot the Oorcoran Art School, Coupons Given for Enlarged Crayons or Pastels—How the Thing is Workied.: —_=—- A man giving the néme of F. J. Har- grave has been industtiously perpetrating @ petty swindling schetie. ii southern Vir- ginta near Norfolk, his operations being particularly numerous in: the counties of Nansemond and Mecklenberg, along the line of the Atlantic and Danville railroad. Letters received at the Corcoran Gallery of Art show that Hargrave has represent- ed himself as an agent of the Corcoran Art School. His system of working is as ingenious as it is iniquitous. He calls at a house and states that he is representing the Corcoran Art. School of this city. which is endeavoring to advertise the work of its students, and in order to ac- complish this has determined to reproduce in life size portraits from small pictures in either crayon or pastel. For this the school, according to Hargrave, will not consider any but a nominal return and will make the portraits and deliver them inclosed in oak frames upon the payment of 50 cents when the small picture is given to the agent and dn additional dol- lar on the completion id delivery of the portrait. He showed enlarged portraits as aHeged specimens of the work done by the art school. _ * A Coupon Receipt. While he leads his dupés to suppose that he represents the Corcoran School of Art, he is careful not to use its exact title, but what he intends as a semblance of it, as @ part of his deception, as will be seen in the following copy of the receipt or coupon which he gives his customer: Studio of Cocoran Art School, Washington, D. C. Read Carefully—No Other cepted, Special. 30 Day. Offer. By paying the Agent. 50 cents for this Coupon the Cocoran Art School hereby agrees to make the holder of this Coupon one Life Size Pastel Portrait from any small picture which may. be presented at our sttmiio dr given to our agent on paying 100 cents additional on the completion and delivery of the portrait.

Hargrave. The word “Pastel?” thé figures “100; the line “This includes an oak frame;” the date and number of coupon and the sig- nature were written with nencil. The spelling of Corcoran,as Cocoran is a shrewd part of the swindle and the card presented by the ‘scoundrel 1s another evidence of the same sort.

Byrd of Chucktatuck and Mrs. L. M. Moore of-Chase City, both dated January 6, and two more, dated Jan- uary 10, one from Mrs, A. J. Smith of Chase City and the other from John D. Petty of North View. No Agent of the Gallery. To all these inquirers, who had given Hargrave orders for one or two pictures, and paid for and received coupons some weeks ago, the authorities at the Corcoran Art Gallery replied that Hargrave was no agent of the gallery, and they .knew no one by that name. Mrs. Byrd stated that her coupons were numbered 356 and 357, so if the swindler numbers hid victims in reg- ular rotation it will be seen he {s doing a remunerative business at 50 cents apiece. On the back of the card reprinted above is written in lead pencil in the same hand as that of the signature on its face, ‘Jack Hargrave, artist, Port Norfolk, Virginia.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Reform School. Item im the Present Appropriation Bil—To Repair the Con- duit Road. The need of additional buildings at the girls’ reform school has been urgently felt, but the difficulty could not be remedied without aid from Congress. The school just at present consists of one large build- ing, which has accommodations for about thirty girls, not including the teachers and attendants. The inmates who have been committed to the institution, through the medium of the police and criminal courts, are all colored, leaving no place in. which to confine the white girls of an incorrigi- ble disposition. There was no desire to compel the white and black girls to re- main in the same building, and as a result the white girls who have been committed in the courts have invariably been turned over to the care of the sisters at the House of the Good Shepherd, on the New Cut road, near 35th street. The matter has been called to the at- tention of the Commissioners on more than one occasion, and the suggestions made were heeded. An item was inserted in the appropriation bill for next year providing a sum not exceeding $50,000 to be expended in erecting another family building to the school. The bijl carries with it the provision that the new build- ing be erected under contract. According to the appropriation bill as it will be pre- sented to the House of Representatives in a short time only $25,000 of the needed sum is appropriated for the purpose, leav- ing the remainder of the sum to be acted upon at the next session of Congress. To Repair the Conduit Rond. Preparations are now being made for the annual repair of the Conduit road, un- der the direction of Captain Gaillard of the War, Department, who has charge of the work. Large quantities of flint rock have been piled alongside the’ roadway at different points of the highway where re- pairs are needed, and as soon as the weather opens up slightly the portable stone crusher will be hauled to the scene, crush the rocks and the pieces distributed over the surface of the road. The repairs will cost in the neighborhood of $1,000. Mission at Trinity. The interest in the mission services at Trinity Church continues unabated, and the women of the congregation and others are attending the services this week in large numbers. Despite the inclemency of the weather last evening the large church was crowded. The Jesuit fathers conduct- ing the mission are Rev. Fathers Himmel, The services for women will continue every evening this week. . Convicted of Larceny. Annie Bowman, a colored domestic, whose age is given as twenty-four years, was arrested yesterday in Washington by De- tective Frank Burrows and locked up on a charge of petit larceny. The negro was employed as a servant by Mrs. Theresa Bernard, who keeps a bakery at 3106 M street. While attending to the household duties the negro stole $10 from a bureau drawer and left the place. She moved out of Georgetown, hoping to escape detec- tion. She was [ocated, however, and ar- rested for the crime, and in the Police Court was sent to jail in default of a fine of $10. gee TO REGULATE PLUMBING Draft of Bill Submitted by Commis- sioners to Congres: The District Commissioners have trans- mitted to Congress the draft of a Dill to regulate plumbing and gasfitting in the District. They explain that such a law as the one proposed by them has been ren- dered necessary by the decision of. the Coust of Appeals in the case-of Kerr against Ross. In that case the Appellate Court held that so far as the plumbing regulations promulgated by the Commis- sioners under the plumbing act of April 23. 1892, delegate to the board of examiners, thereby created, the discretionary right of passing finally upon applications for plumb- ing licenses, such regulations were unw ranted, and that the Commissioners ha this power alone. The bill, as drafted by the Commission- ers, authorizes them to appoint a plumbinz board, to be composed of two master plumbers, one journeyman plumber, com- petent to be licensed as master plumber, and two employes of the District, having a knowledge of plumbing, gas fitting and sanitary work, at a salary of $300 per an- num, payable monthly. The board, in ad- dition to duties assigned it by the Commis- stoners, shall examine ail applicants f. license as master plumbers or gas fitters. The age of applicants must not be under twenty-one years, and a license fee of $3 is fixed. It shall be unlawful for any per- son to engage in the work of plumbing or gas fitting in the District. unless he is Heensed, or is an employe of a licensed plumber, and is also made unlawful for owners or lessees to, knowingly, em- ploy unlicensed plumbers, and, further, to cut or trench in any highway, reservation cr public space without a permit from the Commissioners. For violations of the pro- visions of the act a penalty of not less than $5 or more than $100 is fixed,with the usua! provision for default. ——— THEIR FINAL RESTING PLACE. No Decision Regarding the Interment of Mr. Butterworth's Remains: No decision has been reached by the family regarding the final interment of Commissioner __ Butterworth’s _ remains. After the death of Commissioner Butter- worth at Thomasville, it was decided by the family to have the interment here, be- cause the family would make their perma- nent residence here, and they could not bear to have the remains so far from them as Ohio. But since Mrs. Butterworth’s re- turn much pressure has been brought to bear by leading Ohio people to have the remains interred in Ohio. This has caused the family to hesitate as to the inter- ment. One of the features of the funeral of Commissioner Butterworth yesterday was the profusion and elegance of the floral tributes. Among those who sent offer- ings were: The President and Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. A. L. Barber, W. W. Dudley, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Portner, Woodward & Lothrop, Colonel and Mrs. James A. Bates, Captain and Mrs. Frank P. Gross, Mrs. Nathaniel H. McLean, Mr. and Mrs. Julian C. Dowell, ‘the Patent Law Association of Washing- ton, the United States patent office, F. M.

The contribution of Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior Ryan was exceedingly touching and graceful, in view of the close personal ties of friendship and love that have for so many years existed between him and Mr. Butterworth. It was a large and beautiful pillow, on which was in- stribed, with violets, the simple words, “My Friend.” ae Formerly Lived in Washington. _ Levi Poindexter, the convict who stabbed Deputy Warden Diffenbach of the Mary- land penitentiary two days ago, formerly Hved in this city.

Unquestionably our present wasteful methods must soon strip the south of her forests. and leaye her without one of the greatest sources of the national wealth which was one of the many on which we relied for recuperation when, stripped of everything else, we returned naked to our mother earth in 1865, asking her heip to grow and to live. But we are too apt to look upon this as a matter of mere mo- mentary consideratlon—it is far more than STaneticen playeieancstiimportaul art in the economy of nature. Forests have much to do with climate, and it is climate that makes the state of Florida what it is. The experience of all other countries proves that they temper the winter, freshen and cool the summer bree: regulate the flow of rivers, store the water for the time of need, shield the earth. from summer sun and winter weather, bring the rains in their season and fructify the soil. Dare we contemplate the possibility of the withdrawal of so benign a friend from our state? What will cur country do when the useful woods are no longer available for every hour in the day—from millions of cross-ties to fuel for the kitchen fire? Of course substitutes can be found, but at what cost? We know by experience that new forests must be planted and grown, but how shall we suffer till the effects of our waste are repaired, and how much must we labor? How easy it 1s now to provide against the needs of the coming time in a state like Florida, where nature seems to te us to care and Provic land fitted for little el standing thick upon it, where we know our sand would be uninhabitable and unprodue- tive without its covering of verdure, and where not. only comfort but life itself de- pends upon our thought and timely care. —s Art Treasures for Princeto: The class of 1881 of Princeton University has added to its memorial collection of an- cient casts in the art museum a valuable series of casts of ancient sculptures of the triumphal arch of Trajan at Beneventum. This collection was begun in 1891, and the recent addition to it makes it as complete as is possible. The casts for nearly all of the sculptures were made for the first time by the American School of Classical Stud- ies at Rome, under the direction of Profes- sor Frothingham of Princeton, two years ago. The enterprise was, with one excep- tion, the most extensive of its kind ever un- dertaken, and, as a result of it, casts of the most valuable art treasures of Rome have been added to American art mu- seums, Princeton's new collection is prob- ably the most valuable of its kind now in the United States. es Big Virginia Bear Hunt. Lexington (Va.) Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Constable Samuel H. Moore of South River district reports one of the largest bear hunts that ever took place in this He met while riding near the headwaters of Irish creek a party of eight- een men and sixteen dogs. Some of the men were mounted and others were on fgot. They were armed with Winchester rifles, old-fashioned rifles and shotguns, single and double. The Clarks, Tyrees, Painters and Humphries composed the party. Upon inquiry as to what was the trouble, he was informed that it was a “bar hunt.” He laughed and said that he would eat all they would kill. On his return Mr. Moore found that the party had killed and dressed five bears, and he immediately canceled his eating ‘con- tract. The dogs had discovered game .un- der a shelving rock, and the hunters open- ed an entrance ‘and saw a bear. One of the Humphries men.climbed to the top, looked down through a crevice and saw three bears. He opened fire with his Win- chester, and, after firing seven times, everything became-quiet in the den, and the party hauled out the bears, which to their surprise numbered five bears, one very large and four smaller ones. : S George McDili, chief clerk to Horace G.

It is this: The surprising lack of enterprise and accommodation of the Jers in ready-made shirts for men. It fact that a men six feet three inches tall, if he hes a “fifteen” neck, is expected to wear the same length rt with the same little “bosom” as a man four feet high who happens to have a “fifteen” neck, and vice versa.
