CURTICE BROTHERS CO., Rocursres, N. Y. Persisted in Smoking. A young colored nfan named Lewis E. Taylor, who went to.see Thomas Shea at the Grand Opera House last night, was, for special reasons, invited to attend Judge Kimball's matinee this. morning. Disorderly conduct was the charge pre- ferred against him by Special Policeman Stout, but the charge was denied. “I have a great amount of trouble with the boys in the gallery,” said the special officer. “They insist on smoking before they leave the building, and it’s against the rules of the house.” “What did this man do?” Judge Kimball interrupted. “He insisted that he had to smoke and the weather was too bad to go out on the pavement.” ‘You did right in putting him out,” the judge told the officer, “but I cannot see that any law has been violated. The case is dismissed.” In dismissing the case, the court advised the young man that he should do his smok- ing hereafter before he goes to the theater. ——— New Board of Trustees Organizes.

ORIGIN OF THE “WALK OFFS.” of the Human Ra Started Without Bral At the national stock convention, which opened at Denver, Col., yesterday, Mr. Henry Wallace of Des Moines, Iowa, read @ paper on the dairy interest, in which he made a plea for an intelligent study of the business. “The dairy business,” he said, “cannot be conducted by ‘walk offs.’ A northern farmer once determined to move south and farm. He bought the best farm he could find, introduced the tame grasses, went into dairying and fruit raising. He secured as a sort of foreman a yery smart darky, who ‘became a very enthusiastic advocate of his employer’s new idea. The natives. white and black, ridiculed the idea of book farming, and the darky in disgust said: ‘Go ’way; yuh’s nothin’ but a walk-off.’ A friend of min heard it, and ask Sam: ‘What is a walk-off? ‘Well, suh,’ “said Sam, ‘when de Laud fust nate Adam an’ Ebe he thought he done a good job, an’ were mighty pleased, and say da‘ll do pretty well, and he lay ‘em down an‘ roll ‘em ovuh, feel o' de bones and muscles, an’ say: ‘Yes, da’ll do.

Yuh see, col- onél, brains wah mighty sca’ce in’ that country, an’ while he wah lookin’ ‘round foh somethin’ to make 'em brains, de whole lot of ’em jes done walk off.’” Part Which Another Plea for Clerks.

From sad ex- perience I know that there is no more ex- hausting work than his. As he says: “It is the terrible monotony of the grind that wears.” No one who has not experienced it can form an {dea of the utter weariness of brain and body after six and one-half hours in this treadmill. Yet, even 80, there Must be those who walk therein. An hour at noon and a half holiday once a week is a reasonable demand to make. Let it be granted. It will infuse new vigor into a body of faithful public workers, und the government will be the gainer. Again, I say, for humanity’s sake, let it be granted. AN EX-CLERK. Jan’y 26, '98.

CYCLE RACE AT PITTSBURG MR. LODGES AMENDMENT When the spring meeting of the Wash- ington Jockey Club opens ‘in April it is more than probable that the club will have completed a comparatively straight-away half-mile course. And; if sufficient ground can be obtained, it is. understood that sater the straight-away course will be extended into one of six furlongs. At the Benning track, as‘is the case with all circular or oval Courses, the horse get- ting the best of the start is given an ad- vantage which it is toooften impossible to overcome by the less fortunate ~horses. This is particularly true in short races, and, as the dashes over a short “distance predominate, the club decided upon a straight-away track over which these short rakes should be run. The start for the “proposed half-mile straight-away course will be located in the outfield, about northwest of the turn into the homestretch, in the neighborhood of the last jump in the steeplechase field. The horses will enter. the regular track about midway between the present half and three-quarter poles, and after running a very short distance will have a straight course down to the finish; which will, of course, remain where it is now, directly in front of the grand stand. Theré will be one bend or bow in this proposed half- mile course, but it will be so slight as to make the run practically a straight-away one. “s Mr. Frank Clarke, the well-known super- intendent of the Coney Island Jockey Club, has already laid out the new track, and work on it will be pushed with all possible dispatch. Therefore, if the weather does not interfere, the track, which will be somewhat .similar to the Futurity course at the Sheepshead track, willbe completed in time to be used “during the .coming spring meeting at the Benning course. WOULD BACK THE GIANTS: The Senate debate yesterday afternoon over the Teller resolution declaring that the bonds of the government could be right- fully paid in silver or gold, proved to be very interesting when half a dozen of the leading meinters of the Senate entered a contest that called out very strong lan- guage at times. After The Star's report of the Senate pro- ceedings closed; Mr. Allison reviewed the history of the Stanley Matthews resolution, maintaining that its passage at that time was not in opposition to public interest or in derogation of the rights of the public creditors. He held that now the situation was quite different. Mr. Teller called Mr. Allison’s attention to what he said was the present condition. He maintained that coinage of silver had not been restored and no suver dollars were being coined. Mr. Allison replied that 500,000,000 of sil- ver dollars had been coined since '73, and that they were as good as gold. Mr. Teller again interrupted to say that the present administration would not use any of the silver dollars to pay the obliga- tions of the government. Mr. Allison insisted that the pending reso- lution gave the Secretary of the Treasury no more authority under the law than he now has. The Secretary may now pay government obligations in coin. He held that there was no disposition on the part of the administration to evade the law, and declared that the republican party had maintained that it ought to be the purpose of the government to maintain the gold and silver money of the country at a parity. Mr. Tillman asked Mr. Allison whether he would say in terms that the bond obli- gations of the government were payable in silver. In reply, Mr. Allison quoted the law, that the bonds were payable in coin; but that was not satisfactory to Mr. Tillman, who insisted upon an answer, yes or no. Paying Government Obligation: Mr. Allison declined to have words put into his mouth. In response to a question of Mr. Teller, Mr. Allison said he thought it would be proper for the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the obligations of the gov- ernment in either silver or gold, “but,” de- clared Mr. Allison, “the Secretary of the Treasury, if he is an honest man, in reach- ing his decision as to action upon that point, must take into consideration existing conditions, one of which is that this gov- ernment is pledged to maintain the gold and silver currency of the country at a parity.” * Mr. Allison thought if it were the purpose of the advocates of the pending resolution to force a depreciation of one of the great moneys of the country they ought to avow that purpose. He maintained that if the objects of the silver advocates were car- ried into effect it would be impossible to maintain the parity of gold and silver coin. Mr. Allison thought the resolution ought not to be passed, because it could have only the effect of minimizing the credit of the United States. “If I were assured,” said he, “that the resolution would strengthen the credit of the country I should certainly vote for it and otherwise give it my support.” Mr. Teller asked Mr. Allison whether the last statement in the pending resolu- tion was true—that is, “to restore to its ceinage such silver coins as a legal tender in payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith, nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor.” “It is not true in two respects,” replied Mr. Allison. ‘We have restored the silver dollar in the first place and in the second, the silver dollar is a legal tender.” Mr. Hale (Me.) said that when the pres- ent law was put on the statute books the silver was about twice as valuable as it is now, and Mr. Aldrich interjected to inquire ‘whether in yiew of the fail in the price of silver the senator from Arkansas (Bgry) believed the government ought t take advantage of ‘ts creditors and pay them in the cheaper metal. Mr. Berry replied that he was a= much in favor of maintaining the honor of the country as the senator from sthode Is- land, but he held that the bondholders ought to be willing to live up to their con- tract and accept coin in payment. Mr. Lodge (Mass.) said that il was well understood tnat the bond purchases were to be paid in gold, as they paid gold for the bonds, and he quoted from a sjxech of Mr. Teller, showing that he (Teller) had the same idea. Mr. Teller Speaks. Mr. Teller (Col.) followed in an extended speech in support of the resolution. He declared that it was a question of law which he would endeavor so to discuss. “Well,” inquired Mr. Foraker (Ohio), “does this. resolution mean the same now that it meant twenty years ago?” “Being a question of law,” replied Mr. Teller, “it can mean nothing else.” “But was not the resolution of twenty years ago,” persisted Mr. Foraker, “pass- ed to meet a state of affairs existing then that does not now exist? “Not at all,” replied the Colorado sena- tor. “No man could then have known what financial legislation Congress would enact. The resolution then bound no man t® vote for free coinage, and it binds no men now so to vote.” = Mr. Hoar dissented from Mr. Teller’s proposition that this resolution involved only a question of law, and urged that it had come now to a question of honor. is not a question of law,” said he. a question of the violation of the There will be a game of basket ball be- tween the Interior Department and the Gcvernment Printing Office at the Globe building, Pennsylvania avenue, 8:15 this evening.

Talcott, former owner of the New, York team and: one of the biggest and best-known operators on Wall street, has figured out a set of odds on the Na- ticnal League race for the coming sea- son. He makes New York, Baltimote: and Beston equal favorites jat 2 to 1, but indi- vidually he likes the Giants and stands ready to wager $500 to.$1,000 that they will finish first. After New York, Baltimore and Boston he likes Cleveland. He believes that club plays cleaner and better ball than any of the other western aggregations, and lays 3 to 1 against her. He is a great admirer of Oliver “Patsy” Tebeau. Then comes Cincinnati and Chicago at 5 to 1 each. Brooklyn is placed at,8 to 1, Pittsburg and Philadelphia at 10*to 1 each, and Washiagton, Louisvillg gnd St. Louis are reckoned as rank outsidérs at 20 to 1 and take your choice. .~ c “I am willing to tie te‘the Giants,” gaid the broker yesterday. “They are the best- managed team in fho (National League, and are composed of the best lot of players.

MILLER DROPS OUT OF IT, Champion Six Da Cyclist Fell and Says He Hart His Back. There wes a big surprise in store for the spectators at the seventy-two hours’ bicy- cycle race when the riders lired up for a start in Pittsburg yesterday afternoon. Champion Miller failed to put in an ap- pearance in riding togs. He says he was injured in Monday’s spill, but others in- sist that he was afraid of Waller. Elkes is rapidly forging to the front as a favor- ite, and it is predicted that he will be in at the finish with Waller, The score at 11 o'clock last night was: Walter, 412 miles 1 lap; Elkes, 412 miles 1 lep; Schineer, 410 miles 10 laps; Hali, 407 rriles 8 laps; Walters, 407 miles 7 laps; Dench, 374 miles 7 laps; Garton, 362 miles 11 laps; Henshaw, miles 1 lap; Ruckell, 350 miles 8 laps. PROPOSED HORSE SHOW. Effects of Both Upon Conditions at the Wharf. ‘The Potomac river has been swollen by recent rains to the extent that some of the rivermen felt apprehensive last night and made arrangements for the protection of their river front property. The ‘high wind J iater in the night was regarded as favor- able, however, and it was believed it wouid prevent any serious trouble. It was feared this morning that the winds and rough water would seriously af- fect the oyster and fish trade, but persons who are in business said there were oysters enough at the wharf to last several days, and the market was also well stocked with fish this morning. With the high winds blowing the oyster boats will experience some difficulty in reaching the city, but the steamers will be able to help them out. Three trees in different sections were biown down last night, and a number of dangerous holes resulting from the rain were reported today by the police. ————— Sulit Settled. Trial of the suit instituted by Bernard J. McMahon to recover damages from D. W. Loughran, for injuries claimed to have been received October 28, 1895, was not continued today, the parties having settled the mat- ter out of court. Mr. Loughran agreed to pay Mr. McMahon $700 in settlement of his claim. - The contention was that in crossing the cellar of a building owned by Mr. Lough- ran, on Pennsylvania avenue near 14th street, Mr. McMahon fell into an unprotect- ed furnace hole and fractured one of his lower limbs in three places. Mr. McMahon was invited by Mr. Loughran, it was said, to enter the cellar for the purpose of in- specting certain pipes. Trial of the case was begun yesterday, but after the adjournment of court the agreement stated was reached. The attor- neys for the plaintiff were Messrs. C. J. Murphy and M. J. Colbert. Steps Being Taken’ to Hold One in May. Steps are being taken by Mr. Harry Fields of New York, the promoter of the New York horse shows, to hold one here in May. It fs understood that Mr. Fields will guarantee a fund of not less than $15,000, and will endeavor to enlist the sympathies Qf local admirers of the horse to the extent of adding a like sum, he being confident that $30,000 will cover all expenses. Mr. Fields has already interviewed a number of gentlemen prominent in social and sporting circles here, from whom he received such encouragement as warrants him in the belief that the sum to be sub- seribed to here will be forthcoming. Just where the proposed show will be held has not, of course, yet heen determined, but some building ample enough to accommo- date the horses and vehicles will be taken, and the show will be second to none in the The Williams Trial. The trial of Rev. Gilbert F. Williams was continued at St. Mark's pro-cathedra! Church at 10 o’clock this morning. The reading of the journal and the corrections, as usual, tock some time. When this was finished the examination of witnesses was begun and took up a greater part of the day.

In view of that fact, he thought that the arrogatior to themselves by the opponents of the resolution of all honesty was not warranted by the facts. a a Mr. Hoar replied to Mr. Teiler in which he deplored *, Her parents have been examined.

In response to a query by Mr. Foraker of Ohio, Mr. Vest asked the Ohio Senator if he still believed as he had been quoted as saying four years ago—that silver was re- dleemable in gold. “I did not make that unqualified state- ment,” replied Mr. Foraker; “but I said the silver dollar was in effect red mabie in gold because of the Parity maintained in the two coins. “I want it understood,” Allison, “that the declared Mr. plution of IS78 did not mean the free coinage of silver, as the Senators from Colorado (Mr. Teller) and from Missouri (Mr. Vest) have both said that this resolution means.

Distribution of Flowers by Govern. ment Specially Considered, A me¢ting was held at the Hotel John- son last night by the Commercial Ftorists’ Association. It was presided over by Pres- ident Joseph R. Freeman. The committee appointed to draft a letter to all the flor- ist clubs of the United States reported that a letter had been prepared regarding the distribution of flowers and plants by the government. This recommended that the matter be taken up by the florist clubs throughout the country. The report was adopted unanimousiy. A committee of three, on motion of Mr. Bowdler, was appointed to investigate the government greenhouses for the purpose of seeing what sort of plants are being grown at this season of the year, to de- termine if they are propagating plants for cut flowers, and thus coming into oppo- sition with local florists. The chair ap- pointed Messrs. King, Bowdler and Hale as the committee.
