Showed That He Knew a Blacksmith's Sign When He Saw It. From the Boston Evening Transeript. If his mistress is to be believed, and who dare say she isn’t, the old horse Jerry can read. The other day he was put into the carryall and driven to a town some four miles away. The roads turned out to be unexpectedly slippery, and Jerry was smooth shod. He had so dreadful a time in getting down the hills that all the people had to get out and walk, and as he was trying to pull up one hill he actually so lost his footing that the carryall began to run ‘backward, puiling the horse down hill after it, and if the driver had not expertly cramped the wheels into a bank there must have been a bad accident. The mistress de- ¢lared that if she got the horse to the town alive she would have him sharp shod there. They did get to the town at last. As they were driving through the stree‘s —the way being easy enough in the town— they came to a place where the sign of a di mith’s shop hung at the head of a little alley. The shop itself was not in sight +only the sign to direct people down the aly. The horse had never been shod at this place, nor anywhere else in the town. but as soon as he came abreast of this sign he attempted to turn down the alley, and his driver had difficulty in getting him past. After some other matters were attended to, the driver went back to the blacksmith’s shop to get Jerry shod, and he headed di- rectly for the shop in the alley without any guic As the man was shoeing him, he— that is, the man, not the horse—remarked: “That horse d need a word—he knows > up every foot and just when to put it down—he understands the whole business.” » on his way home, the old horse er slipped once, and you cannot con- his mistress that he did not know what he needed was sharp shoeing, nor nut he Was not aware that that sign point- 1 the way to a blacksmith’s shop. “Look here,” said the listener, when he heard the story, there a’ horseshoe painted on that “Ye-yes, there was,” sald she, summon- ing up her mental picture of it. “Then that accounts for it. The horse did not really read the sign—he saw the picture of the horseshoe, and knew that it ponte the eer to the place where he could ave some of the same sort of th < on his feet. ee toe A New Une for the Megaphone. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. A new use for the megaphone has been found in the construction of the “sky- scraper.” When an office building now go- ing up in New York had reached a height of but two or three stories, the contractor had no difficulty in mounting to its highest point and with forceful words stimulating his workmen to renewed exertions. When the floors began to run up to eight and ten, he found the exercise of going to the top every time he wanted to express his feel- ings altogether too violent, and it impaired a distinct flavor of irascibility to the lan- guage which began to flow with his return- ing breath. So he conceived the brilliant idea of having a megaphone contructed to connect his headquarters in the first story with the top, where the men were at work. When the work lags now, or any conflict of authority arises, he is able to make his voice heard at the seat of the trouble with- out moving from his sanctum, much to his own satisfaction, If not to that of his em- ployes, who say that the megaphone gives an irritating asperity to profane language. o+—____ A Vegetarian Church. From the London Evening News. There is a vegetarian church in Salford of which for the past eighty years no per- son could be a member unless he or she abstained from animal food and intoxicat- ing drinks. Many of the members also be- long to the Peace Society. The late Joseph Brotherton, who was member of parliament for Salford for about twenty years, was a member of this vegetarian church, and used to preach when not in London. There was also a vegetarian church in Manchester, conducted by Dr. Schofield for about forty years, but at his death no successor could be found, and it was closed on that account, and many of the members joined the church in Salford. The first member was Mr. Coward, a member of the Church of England, and master of Selby Grammar School.

Prominent Guests Present, Who Re- spond to Toasts—Tribute to Old _Glory—Honored Officers. The twenty-ninth anniversary of George C. Whiting Lodge No. 22, F. A. A. M., was celebrated last evening with a banquet at Masonic Hall, on 32d street. The affair had an added interest from the fact that it was specially designed to do honor to three Dr. J. F. R. Appleby. of the highest officers in the Masonic fra- ternity of the District of Columbia, namely, Samuel C. Palmer, worshipful grand master of the Grand Lodge of the District; Dr. J. F. R. Appleby, most excellent high priest of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the District, and Rezin W. Darby, eminent grand commander of the Grand Command- ery of the District of Columbia—all three of these high officers being members and past masters of George C. Whiting Lodge. In the opinion of Grand Commander La Rue Thomas of the Grand Commandery of the United States, one of the special guests of the evening, the distinguished honor of having the three highest offices occupied by three men from the same lodge has never before been enjoyed by ary Masonic lodge in the country. It was an event, he said, deserving of celebration. The banquet hall was magnificently dec- Ss. C. Palmer. orated for the cceasion with southern smi- lax, American flags and great bouquets of cut flowers. Nearly all of the 130 mem- bers of Whiting Lodge were present, be- sides about seventy distinguished Masons from this and other jurisdictions. Mr. B. W. Murch, the present master of George C. Whiting Lodge, officiated as toastmaster, introducing cach speaker happily and ap- propriately. The menu card was engraved with the bust pictures of the officers hon- ored by the occasion, with lists of the toasts, sentiments and speeches printed on the back. An Elaborate Menu. The collation was an elaborate one, and occupied attention until 10 o'clock, when the spezchmaking began by Worshipful Master Murch, who eulogized the oilicers whem it was designed particularly to heror. The first toast was to the “Grand Ledge of the District of Columbia,” re- spended to by Mr. Samuel C. Paimer, M. v. G. M. The next toast, “The Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the District of Co- lumbia,” was responded to by Dr. J. F. R. Appleby, M. E. G. H. P.; then came ‘The Grand Commandery, Knights Templar, of the District of Columbia,” with response by Mr. R. W. Darby, R.E.G.C.; “The Grand Encampment, K. T., of the [[nited States,” by Mr. W. La Rue Thomas, M. E..G. M., of Kentucky, who last evening represented 116,000 Knights Templar, and compliment- ed George C. Whiting Lodge in their name on the privilege the members were enjoy- ing on this occasion. In compliment to the grand commander, wh2n he resumed his seat, the orchestra played “My Old Ken- tucky Home.” The next toast, “Our Sister Grand Lodges,” was responded to by Lieut. Col. BR. W. Darby. Charles MacDonald, P. M. W. G. M., of the Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia. His spezch was a brilliant effort, and in com- pliment to him “God Save the Queen” was played. “Almas Temple, A. A. O. N. M. §.,"" was responded to by Mr. Harry Standi- ford, illustrious potentate; “Potomac Lodge, No. 5, F. A. A. M.,” by Mr. James 8. Raeburn, W. M.; “Potomac Royal Arch Chapter, No. 8," by Mr. William 8.

He said that, next to Bfitish fing, the grandest emblem that fipatg over the earth, and the flag that he had the greatest ad- miration for, was theJfag! of the United States. Only the patriot that is always uppermost in a Britori’s Prevented im from placing our flag in the very high- est place. He also paid a glowing tribute to the.clty of Washington,>sa: in con- nection with its buildirigs,'that his little daughter had written him in all sincerity that heaven was the only place that could be more beautiful than the Congressional rary. Grand Master ee jomas, !n the name of his 116,000 ki its, hoped for the success of the proposed Masonic fair, and expressed a most earnest wish that in the city of Washington would be erected a national Masonic edifice, where all the national business ‘of the order might be transacted, and where all national Masonic conventions should be held. No city in the land, he said, was so desirable in all re- spects for the location of such a structure as the capital of the nation, and he intend- ed to work for the consummation of this idea. It was midnight when this memorable occasion in the history of Whiting Lodge terminated. Great credit is due to the com- mittee which had charge of the arrange- ments. Its work was highly effective and deserving of praise. The committee was composed of Messrs. B. W. Murch, Harry 8.Barrick, James H. Taylor, W. B. Easton, Benjamin Harper, Archibald Cunningham, William. Bornheim, Charles Bradley and Charles Becker. set ge THE SCHAFHIRT CASE Charged With Practicing Dentistry Without Being Registered. The Evidence in the Case Today and the Arguments Between Counsel. The trial of Dr. Jesse B. Schafhirt, charged with practicing dentistry without being registered according to law, which was begun yesterday afternoan before Judge Scott and a jury, was resumed shortly after 11 o'clock this morning. Dr. Williams Donnelly of the dental board of the District of Columbia was re- called to the stand. He testified that the defendant had for several years posed as a practicing dentist, and began to state that*he was not recognized as such by the board, when the witness furnished the list af names of dentists in the District, fur- nished to a business directory, and the name of Jesse B. Schafhirt was not among them. Mr. Taylor, counsel for the defense, sought first to keep Mr. Mullowny from ask- ing the question to which Dr. Donnelly’s reply was an answer, and next wanted to exclude the statement, but Judge Scott overruled both motions. Mr. Taylor said Mr. Mullowny promised when the trial began to limit himseif to proving one act against Schafhirt, and this act was not committed ‘at the ‘time the directory was compiled, Mr. Mullowny denied this and said that, notwithstanding Dr. Dapnelly had not fur- nished Schafhirt’s namie, the latter went te the publishers of the directory and got them to insert it. Ries Judge Scott again overruled Mr. Taylor's motion, aud Dr. Donnelly resumed his tes- timony. x Mr. Muliowny then introduced the Wash- ington city directory as eyidence, and Dr. Donnelly said that he found Schafhirt do- ing business as a dentist at ‘the place stated in the directory. eae On_cross-examination,.My, Taylor asked Dr. Donnelly to take the directory and see if he could find the naméS of any other dental students who are ‘practicing den- tistry. Me Dr. Donnelly examindé the directory and then stated that he éould not “find any names as suggested by Mri Taylor: « Dr. Donnelly’ further stated that»ne had visited Schafhirt’s. office” and found evi- dences that Schafhir: was practicing den- tistry. Mr. Mullowny then offered the ¢lty direc- tory for 1897 in evidence. It was admitted. Mr. Taylor then moved to strike out all evidence furnished by the directories as ir- relevant, incompetent and immaterial in the case on trial. The motion was overruled by Judge Scott, and Detective George W. Boyd was called to the stand. Mr. Boyd stated that he had visited Schafhirt’s place of business, where he found a sign indicating that the accused was practicing as a dentist. Dr. William G. Schafhirt, a brother of the defendant, said the latter was employed by him in 1807, and that his brother’s work was always supervised by the witness. Dr. John Walton, professor of mechanical dentistry in the National University, was aHowed to testify for the defense, although the government had not yet closed its case, as Dr. Walton was anxious to get dack to his duties. Judge Scott announced that the time had arrived for lunch. Mr. Taylor begged the court not to take a recess for one minute. Judge Scott replied: “I do not object to giving a minute to ycu, but you lengthen your minutes into quarter hours or longer and make arguments on every possible technicality. I do not see any use of ‘0 much talk on minor points.” After a few questions had been asked of Prof. Walton the witness was excused, and the court took a recess for thirty minutes. The case had not been concluded when this report closed. ee CHIEF PARRIS REPROVED. Objections to Ordering Out Truck Ex- cept in Case of Fire. The efforts of the District fire department will hereafter be confined to the saving of human life and to the prevention of the de- struction of property, the rescue of cats being left lo their owners. As stated in The Star, Chief Parris of the District fire department Yesterday morning called out ‘Truck Company A for the purpose of plac- ing on terra firma a cat belonging to Mr. James L. Norris, the animal having climb- ed a tall tree near Mr. Norris’ resiience to escape @ dog. Truck A is the ouly truck company east of Ist street, and during the time its members were engaged in getting pussy down from off his perch the eastern section of the city was left without a truck company in quarters. This: morning Com- missioner Wight, who has charge of the fire department, @nd who had read of the action of Chief Parris, sent for him and in- formed him that hereafter the services of the department will be exérted in the di- rection of its legitimate’ purposes. “No one has a higher’ tespect for Mr. Norris than I have,” s@#ia@Mr. Wight to a Star reporter, in speaking’of the matter, “and I would take the test pleasure in serving him, but I cannot ‘approve the ac- tion of the chief of the’firé department in ordering out a truck coi to take a cat down from out of-a trée. EF was surprised to learn that he had deneyso, and I lave instructed him that hereafter he shall con fine the efforts of ‘the department to its legitimate purposes.” 0" —— ome Was Acqaitted.

Another large audience assembled this morning at the First Congregation: Church, 10th and G streets, to hear Rev. F. B. Meyer, the English divine. He spoke again at the ssme place this afternoon. Mr. Meyer leaves this evening for Balti- more, where he will conduct services. He arrived in the city Tuesday, and during his stay has spoken twice each day, and has been greeted by only large and atten- tive audiences. He began his work early today, meeting a large number of the min- isters of the city at 9:30 this morning at the First Ccngregational Church. He talk- ed to them of experiences in his pastoral work, giving many suggestions of a prac- tical character in regard to methods. The main meeting was begun an hour later, Rev. D. L. Greenfield, the pastor of the Central M. P. Church, conducting the opening exercises. Rev. Meyer began his address by stating that at the meeting this afternoon he would speak on the “Anointing of the Spirit of God.” He then read the first few verses of the eighth chapter of Romans, beginning “There is therefore no condem- nation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” He said he proposed to speak about sin and proceeded to draw a distinction be- tween sin and sins, the former being, he declared, the root principle and the latter the baleful fruit. In reference to sins he stated that when they were once confessed they were blotted out, and there was no need to confess them again. The memory of them, he added, might haunt people, but God does not hold them against them. ', He defined sin as the assertion of ‘the evil self principle. In the further elucidation of the subject he used illustraticns and told incldents, and although he spoke fully an hour, he seemed to hold the attention of the audi- ence throughout. Large audiences attended the two meet- ings which were conducted yesterday af- ternoon and even'ng at the First Congre- gational Church by Mr. Meyer. It was im- possible for all who wished to hear the speaker to find seats in the large auditor- jum, and sec many remained standing throughout the services. At the afternoon service Rev. Dr. Domer, the pastor of the English Lutheran Church, conducted the opening exercises, the music being render- ed by the choir, under the direction of Mr. Percy S. Foster. Mr. Meyer’s theme was the preparation necessary for religious work. At the evening service Rev. Luther B. Wilson, the presiding elder of the M. E. Church, conducted the opening services, which were followed by a service of song Miss Callahan being the soloist. Mr. Mey- er’s theme was the willingness of God to assist people in every possible way, and he was of the opinion that it was important for Christians to thoroughly believe that God was willing to help them. peas TAYLOR CONVICTED. Jury Finds He Used Mail for Fraudu- lent Purposes. A jury in Criminal Court No. 1, after be- ing detained all night at the city hall build- ing, today reported a verdict of guilty in the case of George W. Taylor, young white man, charged with using the mails with intent to defraud. The verdict was qualified by a recommendation of mercy. The jury deliberated several hours yester- day afternoon, but found it impossible to reach an agreement. Additional instruc- tions from the court were asked and re- ceived, but a conclusion not being reported within a reasonable time Chief Justice Bingham directed that the twelve men be locked up for the night. It was claimed by the government that Taylor sent through the mails, with orders for goods for the “Capital Carriage Com- pany,” circular letters purporting to show that the company was solvent, when, in reality, it possessed no assets. According to the provecuting attorney, Taylor, by means of the circulars, intended to secure goods and to convert them to his own use without paying for them. The allegations, of course, were denied by Taylor. The difficulty of the jury in reaching an agreement, it is understood, was because of doubt regarding the fraud f@ature of the case. The defendant was today sentenced to serve ninety days in jail and ordered to pay a fine of $25. Se National Geographic Society. The announcement for the meeting in Columbian University of the National Geo- graphic Society on Friday evening is ex- ceptionally attractive. Mr. Richard U. Goode of the United States geological sur- vey will describe and illustrate “The Bit- terroot Forest Reserve” of Idaho and Mon- tana, giving especial attention to the scenic features, including incidents of his camp life and surveys during last season. He will be followed by the senators and repre- sentatives from the two states into which the reserve extends, who will give especial attention to the industrial aspects of the region, and the influence of the reservation on the agricultural and mining interests of northwestern United States. The area in- cluded by the reserve is one of the most picturesque in America, comprising, as it does, a great crest of the Rocky moun- tains, clad with coniferous forests, well toward the rugged summits, and abound- ing in such game as the elk and moose, several species of deer and bear, the moun- tain goat and bighorn, as well as the beaver and otter, which long rendered the gloomy gorges a paradise for trappers and fur hunters. The area of the reserve has hardly been known hitherto, having never been surveyed until last summer. es Local Matters in the Senate. Mr. McMillan from the committee on the District of Columbia today submitted an additional report on the bill to amend the charter of the Capital Railway Company, having previously reported the measure favorably. With the report is submitted a letter from Dr. Godding, superintendent of the government Hospital for the Insane, showing the necessity for the legislation provided for in the bill. In the Senate today Mr. Faulkner, from the committee on the District of Columbia, made favorable reports on Senate bill 1217 for the relief of holders of certain District of Columbia tax sale certificates, and Sen- ate bill 2347 in regard to writs to be exe- cuted by the marshal of the District of Co- lumbie. A memorial from the Northeastern Citi- zens’ Suburban Association asking for an appropriation of $4,000 for grading and im- proving 22d and 24th streets northeast was presented to the Senate today ‘by Mr. Mc- Milain. Mr. McMillan today introduced a bill in the “Senate to abolish estates of curtesy and dower in the District of Columbia, to provide for the custody of the persons of children under fourteen years of age, to regulate the descent and distribution of the estates of intestates and for other purposes. ——————_--+___ Concert of National Guard Brigade - Band. y place itself upon a higher plane than ever ance as a complete concert organization.
