Goodsell, who is pre- siding over the Virginia annual conference, now in session at Falls Church, Va., is of New England ancestry on both sides. One of his forefathers, Thomas Goodsell, built the first house in New Haven in the year 1642, and John Goodsell, son of Thomas, was the pastor of the first church at Green- field Hiil, Conn.

The numerous visitors to the branch post offics on F street this morning had their attention attracted to a large hanger,which occupied a conspicuous place on the wall. Printed.in blue and red it bears two pic- tures showing groups of United States cay- alry and artillery officers. Across the top of the hanger in blus letters are the words: “United States army.” Below is the na- tional coat-of-arms and ‘Recruiting ser- vice” in big vermillion letters, Then comes the following: “Wanted— For the United States Army, Abl2-Bodied Men of Good Character, Between the ages of 21 and 30 years. Artillery, not less than five feet four inches high, weight not less than 128 or mor2 than 190 pounds. The term of service is Three Years for all arma of the service. Applicants are required to satisfy the Recruiting officer regarding age and character, and should be pr2pared to furnish the necessary evidence. Only un- married men need apply. Original enlist- ments are confined to persons who are citi- zens of th? United States or who have made legal declaration of their intention to become citizens thereof and who can speak, read and write the English language.” Then follows information about the right of a soldier aft2r 20 years’ service, or by reason of wounds, to a comfortable home in Washington, for the support of which 2% cents Is deducted from each eoldier’s monthly pay, and that 30 years’ service en- titles a soldier to retirement at thre- fourths pay and $9.50 monthly commute- tion for clothing and subsistence. The announcement is made that in addi- tion tc the pay, which ranges from $23 per month for a sergeant major to $13 for a privaté, all soldiers reczive rations, cloth- ing, bedding, medicines and medical at- tendance. There is a table giving the re- quired physical proportions, and applicants are directed to apply at Washington bar- racks to Recruiting Officzr Adrian S. Fiem- ing. ‘The remarks made upon the nctice were significant of the prevailing sentiment. A Star reporter called in Representative Dal- z2ll of Pennsylvania, who was passing, and showed iim the hanger. He regarded it a ™moment earnestly. “My, my,” he remarked. “That brings back memories of thirty years ago.” Another striking illustration of the pre- vailing sentiment of patriotism was shown on H street between 1ith and 15th streets this morning, which caused many gratified smiles among the numerous passers-by cn the electric cars. Eight litde boys,th2 videst apparentlynot over twelve years of age,were gathered around a doorstep on the south side of the street. One boy had an Ameri- can flag, which he held proudly above him. Another had a drum. The evident captain Was equipped with a littis sword and the other five were supplied with guns. They were giving most important attention to the preparations for parade, which was evidently in anticipation, and showed that the American youngst2r has the rigat stuff in him to the same vigorous extent that characterizes his daddies and his uncles. ———— Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.

Louis Meunier, separated from his wife and in ill health, it fs reported, took a dose of laudanum yesterday with suicidal intent.

Meunier, who has been employed as a machinist in the navy yard for about thre2 years, lived in Southeast Was‘ington, but a few weeks ago, when he separated from his wife, he went to the Templar House, No. 207 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, to board. Divorce proceedings ure pending as a result of the domestic trouble, and the man’s wife is receiving alimony. When Meunier concluded to end his lif? he called at a drug store and asked for an ounce of laudanum. The druggist asked him the usual questions concerning his intended use of the poison, and he repli2d that he want- ed to use the drug in a preparation for corns. Meunier called Mr. Lambert, a fel- low boarder, to his room aboii 6 o'clock and asked him to remove his shoes for J1im, | The latter consented to assi¥t him, and when he had a little trouble with the shoes, Meunier told him to cut them off, as he would have no further use for them. Then he imparted th2 intormation that he had taken the poison and showed the empty vial, on which was pasted the “poison” label. ‘A policeman was summoned and the pa- tient was removed to the hosplial.
