Chief Consul Sams of-the Maryland Divi- sion, League of American Wheelmen, is making arrangements for the holding of a gcod road convention at Upper Marlboro’, Md., in the near future. Among those who will probably address the meeting wil) be Gen. Roy Stone and Mr. G. E. Harrison, Department of Agriculture. A good road bill similar to that for Howard county, which is pending in the Maryland legisla- ture, will be submitted to the convention for the approval and indorsement of the citizens of Prince George’s county. The question of macadamizing the Baitimore and Washington turnpike will also be dis- cussed. This question is one of paramount inter- est to those who-reside along this thor- oughfare and who drive over it almost daily. It is generally believed that the. measure will be heartily indorsede The roads in the upper part of Prince.

MERRIGK DEBATE x e-t Young Men Competing for a Much- Wiatidd Prize, SUBJECT ARD ARGUMENTS Those Who Took Part at Gaston Hall: Last Night. DISTINGUISHED JURY The twenty-third annual debate for the Merrick gold medal by the members of the Philodemic Society was held last evening in Gaston Memorjal Hall of Georgetown University. The occaston drew a large au- dience, that occupied every seat, and left standing room somewhat scarce. It was an audience which contained many people Prominent in social and official life in the city, and some members of the diplomatic corps, among the latter being a representa- tion from the Chinese legation. It w2s an appreciative audience, too, and the good points made by the debaters were ap- plauded. In honor of the event the hall was pret- tily decorated, especially in the vicinity of the stage. Two immense American flags, gracefully draped, hid a large part of the stage and left a good proscenium. Palms were ecattered at different points, adding tO the scene, and placed conspicuously on an easel, where it could be seen by all, was a crayon portrait of the late Judge Richard T. Merrick, through whose generosity an endowment was made for the annual pre- sentation of the gold medal for eloquence. A university pennant, with the college mon- ogram, was placed in front of the crayon. The stage itself was well set and decorated. “Resolved, That it would be expedient for the United States to establish a national university, having control over all collegiate degrees,” was the subject under discussion, two speakers on the affirmative and two on the negative being heard. The ‘udges of the debate were Senator William N. Roach, Senator Louis E. McComas and Rev. Be- naiah L, Whitman, D. D., president of Co- lumbian University. A banjo sextet, a mandolin quartet and the Mandolin Club of the university furnished music for the oc- casion. The debate this year was much shorter than on previous years, and the commencement of the same was made al- most on schedule time. The chairman of the debate was Henry Ryan Gower, '98, of Iowa, and he made the introductory remarks. He thanked the peo- ple for the interest taken in the debate by turning out in such large numbers, and spoke of the day as one worthy of the ex- pressing of eloquent words. The speakers of the evening, he stated, were selected by ballot from among the ranks of the mem- bers of the Philodemic Society, it- being considered. a great honor to be one of the chosen. The question under congideration was one of great:importance. It was no question of constitutionality, 93 Congress had no right to interfere with the s ereignty of the states. By legistative en* actment the difficulty could pos8ibly be avoided. He closed sty introducing the first speaker of the evening, Edward Jeseph Brady, '98, of Maryland, who «pened the affirmative side. The Debaters, Mr. Brady in his opening remarks spoke of the bequest made by George Washing- ton, the father of his country, in the first volume of the Official records of the or- phans’ court of the District, of fifty shares of the stock in the-Potomac Company for the establishment of a national university in the District, to be conducted under the auspices of thé hatiorial government. Thus for over one hundred years the idea of a national university has occupied public at- tention. Conceived by the fathers of the country, it has since been recommended by Presidents, the public has demanded it and the greatest’ scholars and scientists have urged its expediency. Referring to the scope of such a univer- sity, the speaker stated that it should be post-graduate in character, high and above all other institutions of learning, while every facility should be afforded for scientifical and philosophical research. No tenantable ground exists, the speaker stated, against the foundation of such. Instructors, com- petent men, are needed all over the coun- try. A national university such as pro- posed would attract the best teachers of the entire world and would turn out men fit _to fill positions demanded of them. The old world recognized the demand and diffi- culty of the time, and has met the same by the establishment of national universities. “No college in the country,” Mr. Brady continued, “is properly equipped for the higher education. The establishment of a national university would not rival any ex- isting institutions, but would be above and beyond them.” He spoke of the fact that annually 3,000 American students travel abroad to complete their education, accord- ing to statistics, because of the lack of fa- cilities at home. The establishment of such an institution would attract students from all over this country and from South Amer- ica. Our gountry, he said, never faltered and was ready for every emergency. A na- tion cannot be judged by its power and ter- Sne so much as by its knowledge and virtue. For the Negative. The negative side was opened by Mau- rice Brown Kirby, '98, of the District ot Columbia. He remarked that the plans ot Washington were now nearer oblivion than success, and ready to topple over the preci- pice which divides the irrepressible pas: and the hopeful future. At the time of Washington there were only twenty-five colleges in the country, and a popuiation of 3,000,000. Now we have something like 400 colleges and a population of nearly 70,000,000. The folly of establishing a uni- versity endowed by the general govern- ment {s apparent when we consider thai the debt of the country at present is 31,900,- 000,000. The cost of establishing such a university, securing a site and erecting suitable buildings would be at least $15,- 000,000, to say nothing of the cost of en- dowing chairs or the salary of professors and the general running expenses. According to statistics the average cost of tuition at colleges is $52.50 per annum. If scholarships were given free they would only be of benefit to residents of the Dis- trict and vicinity. To those who live in the extreme west the cost of transporta- tion would more than equal the cost of saving in tuition. The speaker referred to the statement that 2,000 or 3,000 students from America are enrolled annually in for- eign university. If this was due to a lack of educational facilities at home, why was it that several hundred thousand Americans annually visited Europe to purchase gar- ments. Was it ‘betause the tailors of America were not“ good enough? Travel abroad was a magnét that attracted all, and not the lack‘6f"facilities at home. Mr. Kirby spoke of the “iijustice of making de- grees from all ‘universities equal, which would have to We Gone if a national uni- versity was esthblished. The degree of Lachelor of artsi'ftoth the Oklahoma Uni- versity, established ‘in 1892, would be equal to the degree of A. B. from Harvard. He also stated that"many colleges were under sectarian control,’ ‘Rnd taught philosophy according to theff'ereed. If a national uni- versity were established the same course of instruction woul@“have to be taught in all colleges, which isnot in consonance with the principles of ithis' ‘tountry. Mr. Waggaman’s Argument. Samuel John Waggaman, ‘98, District of Columbia, was the-second speaker in the affirmative, and hesdwelt upon the wisdom of Washington at«the time of his concep- tion of the national university. He stated that the father of his country had selected as the site for the future university the land formerly occupied by the old nava! otservatory. Unfortunately the money be- queathed was badly invested, and soon lost. The two reasons that he dwelt upon for the establishment of such a_ university were the present necessity, and the benefit to the country that will acquire. The speaker inquires of the source of the men to take the place of those now versed in science. Never before was the: need so badly felt. “Take away the men learned in eiectricity, and where by which all other universities must abide. The system hed tried in Europe and had met with success. Starting where other universities and colleges left off, the Na- tional Untversity would elevate the general education to the high plan for which it should be created. The Closing. The closing address of the evening, and the last one on the negative side, was made by Thomas Jeremiah O'Neill, '#, of New York, and was full of arguments. The es- tablishment of such a university he thought inexpedient because it would be contrary to the fundamental principles of our institu- tions; because it would lower the standard of education, and because it was impractic- able. He made a good point by comparing the establishment of such an institution to the establishment of a national church for the country. If such an institution was es- tablished it would have power to dictate the curriculum to every other institution ot learning in the country. The professors would not be freemen any longer, but would have to teach according to the dictates of the national organization. It would force the general government to become an un- necessary competitor with American riti- zens, giving it a monopoly in the jine of educations, and of all monopolies a govern- ment monopoly was the worst. That Wash- ington did not dream of establishing such a university as contemplated is clearly cvi- denced by the fact that he was constantly on the alert to warn people of the influence of foreign monarchies, and y@t the estab- lishment of a national university would be practically the establishment of a monarchy in this country. Of all of the European countries France is the only one that has a dominant na- tional university, the speaker said, and the effects of it brought forth many charges of fraud and corruption. So much was this so that its use has been discontinued, and its Power distributed among the other untvcrsi- tles of the country. Another good point in the establishment of such a schuol was made by the speaker when he stated that having no state religion no particular phi- losophy could be taught, nor theology, eith- er. Another thing such an institution could not be assured of permanency. As Con- Sress changes almost regularly, so is such an institution Hable to change. What one Congress may do. another Congress may undo. ‘The speaker, whose address was longer than the others, closed by reviewing the reasons given in his opening remarks. —- > TAKES DEFINITE SHAPE. Movement to Establish a tional Memorial Park. The movement to preserve the battle‘telds of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsvill>, the Wilderness and Spotesylvania Court House in the form of a grand national memorial park took active shape yestcriay, when a meeting of prominent ex-Union and ex- confed:rate soldiers was held at Fredericks- burg to form a permanent association under the terms of a charter recently granted by the general assembly of Virginia. The meeting was held in the corporation court hous: and was largely attended. Among those present and taking an active bart in the proceedings wer Ex-Goy. Beaver of Pennsylvania, Gen. Horatio C. King of New York, cecrezary of the Society of the Army of th: Potomac; M-. George D. Sidman, Col. Cadl2 of Cincinnati, chairman of the Shiloh Park commission and vorres- ponding secretary of the Society of the Army of Tennessee; Gen. 2. A. Carman of New Jersey, of the Antietam battl=ticld commission; Gen. H. V. Boynzon, chairman of the Chickamauga Park commission and Secretary of the Army of the Cumberland; Gen. James Longstreet of Georgia, Col. Ce- cil Clay of the D>partment of Justice, Cor- poral James Tanner,Re Jones and Lamb, 'N H. Biscoe Washington, Gen. Edgar Allan of Vir; Gen. G. D. Bates of Connecticut, Col. J. W. Fairfax of Virginia, Col. W. Wallace Brown of Pennsylvania, Gen. J. D. Brady and Capt. B. C. Cook of Virginia and Col. H. D. Norton of Massachusetts. The m>:ting was called io Representative James D. Sener, formerly of Virginia and later United States judge of Wyoming. After prayer hy Rev. Dr. Dua- away, Judge Sener made a brief address, re- citing the history of the movement from its first inception at the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in Minne- apolis. The proposition nas received th> hearty support of the G. A. P., as well as of ex-confederates throughout the south. Gen. Horatio C. King of New York was rominated by Mr. Fitzhugh and unani- mously elected to the position of p>rmanent chairman. Col. W. H. Taylor of Norfolk. who was adjutant general under Gen. Rob- ert E. Lee, was chosen vice president; Mr. James P. Corbin of Fredecicksburg, secra- tary, and H. F. Crismond. treasurer. A series of resolutions was presented by ex-Governor B2aver of Pennsylvania, chair- nian of the committee on resoliitions. The resolutions are to the effect that the associ- ation was chartered February 12, 1806, the anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, and was organized at Fredericks- burg February 22, 1898, the anniversary of the birthday of Washington. Its purpose is stated to be the preservation of the battle fields before mentioned, and their dedica- tion as a national memcrial park. Author- ity was lodged in th>. hands of an executive committee to take all proper steps to place before Congress the importance and desir- ability of this great work, ard to urge on Congress the ne2d cf prompt action. ‘They further recite that the association, made up of incorporators from thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia, will join heartily in the undertaking, and that the executive committze is directed to bring the matter to the attention of the govern- ors and legislatures of every state in the Urion which had soldiers engaged in those battles, and to urge upon them the im- pertance of marking, by appropriate mem- orials, the places occupied by their respec- tive troops. At the conclusion of th> business meeting an elaborate banquet was served at the Exchange Hotel. Judge Sener acted as toastmaster, and toasts were responded to as follows: “Gorge Washington,” Col. James Tan- ner of New Yor! brakam Lincoln,” ex- State Senator William A. Little of Fred- ericksburg; ‘‘Our gallant dead,” Gen. Ed- gar Allan of Virginia; “The President of the United States,” Col. H. D. Norton of Connecticut; ‘Army of the Potomac,” Col. W. W. Brown of Pennsylvania; “Army of Northern Virginia,” Gen. H. V. Boynton of Washington; .“Congress,” Representative John Lamb of Virginia; “Gen. Sedgwick,” Gen. G. D. Bates of Connecticut. Later in the day Gen. King announced the appointment of th2 following executive committee: Judge James B. Sener, W. A. Little, jr, M. B. Rowe, H. F. Crismond, Gen, James A. Beaver, Maj. T. E. Morris, Col. E. D. Cole, Capt. T. McCracken, Capt. 8. J. Quinn, J. S. Potter, St. Georg> R. Fitz- hugh and Col. James D. Brady. The exec- utive committee held a meeting and desig- nated Representative Amos J.

Two Aged Colored Men Arraigned for the Offense. Lawson Bell and Lee Vincent, aged col- cred men, stood before Judge Kimball this morning and were called upon to answer a charge of cruelty to animals. They were found yesterday with a wagon load of ashes and the animal drawing the vehicle was not only small, but showed evidences of lame- ness. Bell, who owns the outfit, had been released on collateral, but Vincent, who merely worked with him, bad been unable to leave the money, and had slept all night in a cell. The defense was that there was paper un- Ger the aShes, and the load was thus made light. Vincent has worked with his friend for several years, and the latter always | the police and Agent Rabbit thought t shares the profits with him. “Why don't you get rid of this horse?” Judge Kimball wanted to know of Bell, when he had heard the evidence for the prosecution. “It's like this, judge,” said Bell. “You fee, I bought that horse twelve years ago, end paid $5 for him. and now he's jess like one of the family. That horse has stuck to me through thick and thin, and now one of us is got to die and leave the other. Vincent's statement was heard. He said horse was lame because he walked parrot- toed. “Have you any money with which to pay a fine?” the court asked. Deed, I ain't, boss,” the old man an- swered. “I've been in the station house ever since yesterday,and they kept me there all night without giving me a piece of bread to eat. And my sick wife was home by fh self, and when I left in the morning she didn’t have more than a handful of wood and coal to put on the fire to keep warm.” Lieut. Boyle, questioned by the court, said that prisoners brought in late in the afternoon were presumed to have had their dinner, but the judge thought the. pre- sumption was rather forced. Vincent was released on his personal bonds and Bell was fined $5. that $1.8 the large crowds who have just as advertised: NEW TO $5 SHOES.” in. yet.
