The second quarterly Sabbath School ‘Teachers’ Institute of the Potomac district, the Baltimore A. M. E. conference, began its sessions last night, and continued them througheut today. Matters affecting the best interests of the Sunday school have been discussed.

There will be a session of the institts Excitement Occasioned by Rumors of Pres- ence of Battle Ship. Patriotic Alexandrians Offer Their Services ‘to the Government—Gen- eral and Personal News. Evening Star Bureau, King street. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 19, 1898, Quite a great deal of excitement was created in this city last night by the re- port that a United States battle ship was anchored in the stream just off the Nor- folk wharf and that this boat had on board an officer bearing to President McKinley the report of the raval court of inquiry into the Maine disaster. Hundreds of peo- pie flocked to the river front, but, as the night was dark, they could only see the lights of the boat without distinguishing her outlines. Later, however, when the steamer Norfolk came down from Wash- ington and threw her flash light on the ship, it proved to be a little revenue cut- ter, the Wyndham. Later reports were to the effect that the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius had anchor- ed at Indian Head, a few miles below this city, and the rumors in regard to the re- port of the court of inquiry were revived. No definite information could be gotten, however. This morning the Wyndham had disappeared, aad the Vesuvius steamed by the city at full speed at an early hour, en route to the Washington navy yard. The active preparations being made by the Navy Department have enthused a number of young Alexandrians with an ex- traordinary feeling of patriotism, so much so that a number of them have enlisted in the navy. Others have given up positions in the machine shops of the Southern Rail- way Company in this city and tendered their services to the government in the SS works at the Washington navy yard. it is sald several other young Alexan- drians anticipate enlisting in the navy Monday. The A. L. I. “Gym.” The board of governors of the Alexan- dria Light Infantry gymnasium have de- e‘ded to add some new apparatus which will make the gymnasium one of the most complete in this section of the country. Mr. Lambert Sullivan has been chosen as instructor, and in a few days he will be- gin to organize his classes. Fairfax County Court. The March term of the Fairfax county ccurt will begin Monday. At this session of the court Lovelace Brown, who killed his son at Mero post office, below this city, will be placed on trial. It wll be remembered that the father and son quar- reled over the disposition of a load of fod- der, and the father claimed that the boy attempted to strike him with a board, when he drew a pistol, which Brown claims was accidentally discharged, killing the son. Fire Company Meeting. There was a called meeting of the Relief Hook and Ladder Compeny last night, at whick there was a fairly lerge attendance. There have been a number of members who have failed to attend the meetings, and it is said the one last evening was called for the purpose of taking action in regard to the delinquents, but no definite action was taken in‘the matter. Daughters of America. There was a largely attended and en- thueiastic meeting of Mount Vernon Coun- cil, Daughters of America, last night. Four new members were admitted. Considerable business of importance to members was transacted. Police News. The police report the past twenty-four hours as having been especially quiet. No arrests were made, and there were there- fore no cases for trial before Mayor Simp- son in the police court this morning. Twenty-one lodgers were accommodated at police headquarters last night. Brevities, The will of the late W. A. Smith was ad- mitted to probate in the corporation court yesterday, with Mrs. Martha Smith as exe- cutrix. Mr. Henry Baader was tendered a sur- prise party by his daughter last night at his residence, on King street. A delightful evening was spent. Mrs. H. Im Monroe continues quite ill at her home, on Columbus street. Rev. Mr. Stakeley conducted the services at the railroad reading rooms last night. ———— The Art Loan Exhibition. As stated in The Star Thursday, the art lean exhibition, which is to be held after Easter in the old Corcoran Gallery of Art, will not be for the benefit of the Home for Incurables. This is due to action on the part of the board of managers of the insti- tution, and the result will doubtless be a cersiderable financial loss to the home. ‘The ladies of the board have issued a statement to their friends notifying them that their action was based solely on the fact that the- exhibition is to be open for money- msking purposes on Sunday. One of the ledies said today: ‘We believe that, while there may be legitimate differences of opin- ion as to free Sunday opening, there ougnt to be none cn the propriety of introducing the principles of business traffic on that Gay, unless cempelled to do so by great public necessity. As this action of the board will deprive the home of much-need- ed funds to sustain the summer work, it 18 hcped that these who sympathize with the action of the board will-largely increase their subscriptions and gifts, though the treasurer, Mr. B. P. Mimmack, 17 Q street. —_>—_ Must Keep the Peace. Ernest Graham was today required by Ivdge Scott to give $300 bond to keep the peace toward his wife, Laura 8. Graham, with the alternative of going to jail for three months. The statements brought out were that Mrs. Graham about a year ago entered suit for divorce, which is now pending. Meanwhile Graham, it is said, has almost corstantly persecuted his wife and yes- terday when they happened to meet on G street near 9th northwest he made threats against her. Officer Johnson heard Graham's remarks, and took him into cus- tedy. en Provisions of Three Wills. By her will, which has been filed for pro- bate, the late Emma H.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your timely editorial in Tuesday's issue anent the recent nomicide on F street will be indorsed by all law-abiding citizens, In referring to the law which is supposed to furnish protection to a person whose lifé has been threatened, plecing that party under bonds to keep the peace, The Star believes most men hesitate to appeal to this law because of a foolish notion that it Savors of cowardice or unmanliness, While the observation is quite likely correct, for man is moro or less a vain animal, there is another motive, which The Star has over- looked in commenting on this unfortunete occurrence, The point is just this: When a man has every reascn to believe that his enemy is determined to kill him, do you think he can calm his mind by the simple process of having his foe put under bonds to keep the peace? In fact, this very ac- tion might only increase the already in- flamed passions of the party so restrained an@ increase his determination to carry out his designe. As an assertion, not a very bold one, either, your subscriber maintains that not one man in @ hundred would trust his life to this precarious protection of peace bonds, While I do not defend the breaking of the law in any instance, I argue thet the law is weak, and reason accounts for the carry- irg of concealed weapons under certain cir- cumstances, Human nature cannot be entirely sup- preesed, notwithstanding the enlightenment Seo efforts at arbitration of the present Of course, this communication is intended to make no apology for the recent homicide, for the facts in this case are yet to be de- termined; but the observations are simply supplementary to the reasons given by The Star as to why men dislike to appeal to the Jaw placing a party under peace bonds.

Dr. Hira Singh Puri of the Punjab, India, at the Western Presbyterian Church last night before an audience made up of prominent literary. and scientific people of the city. Prof. Mc- Gée presided and introduced Dr. Puri. The lecturer, in a most entertaining way, re- ferred to India as a land noted the world over for its meekness, gentleness, kindness, modesty and wealth. He gave some en- lightening views on caste, and said that superstition was the most potent instru- ment for every form of evil which has de- generated India and kept her back in the progress of nations. He laid part of this degeneracy at the door of foreign settlers. He said women had in the past, thousands of years ago, been treated with every con- sideration and led in the affairs of the na- tion, whereas now they were regarded as an inferior being, and no family feared a greater calamity than the birth of a daugh- ter. The lecturer received hearty applause at several stages of his discourse, and con- tinued evidences of appreciation when he finished his lecture. —_—_ Money to lend at 5 and 6 yer cent on real estate.

Delay, ‘The announcement fm ¢he morning papers that Joseph Wilkins. and Howard Butler, ‘who were sentenced in Philadelphia Thurs- day to fines of $1,500<and $500 and six and four mohths’ imprisonment, respectively, for violations of the oleomargarine laws, had been admitted to bail pending the hear- ing cf arguments upon a writ of orror by the United States Court of Appeals in Sep- tember occasioned much comment among the market end commission men today. Owing to the apparent ease with which vioiators of the oleomargarine jaws anc Tegulations have heretofore monaged to escape punishment, the opinion was freely expressed that the same result would be recorded in the case of Wilkins and Butler. This idea, however, was shown to be found- ed upon error. The course followed by tre attorneys of the two men in suing oui a writ of error charging insufficiency of the indictments under which they were con- victed and sentenced is the usual one tak- en. Convicted.defendants in criminal cases, where they can afford it, almost invariably exhaust all the opportunities afforded them by the laws and the rules of court pro- cedure before submitting to tae original sentence that might have been imposed upon them. During the trial of Wilkins and Butler an attempt was made to attack the sutticlency of the indictment, but it proved futile. ‘The United States Court of Appeals will listen to arguments in September, and lawyers familiar with the case thus far aie of the opinion that the technical object‘ons to be urged before it will not be strong enough to cause the action of the lower court to be overruled, Wilkins and Butler, who have been in 1 in Philadelphia since their conviction, March 1, were released yesterday on bail in $5,000 and $2,500, respectively. ——— OFFICIAL ORDERS ISSUED.

Recommended by Thirty-eight Hundred Physicians. Bronchitis fs an inflammation of the mucous membrene lining the air passages, and ts mani- fested by hoarseness and irritating cough, some- times accompanied by fever ard soreness in the chest. In its more advanced stages there is hectic fever, emaciation, loss of volee and other symp- tems of consumption, TREATMENT AND CURE.—Bronchitis, in the ning. is purely a local disease of the air pas- sages, and cannot be reached by stomach medicines or liquids in sny form. The vse of sprays, douches and atomizers only serve to cause further irtitn- tion, dnd are not only useless, but posftively dan- gcrous. Air is the only thing’ that can reach the parts affected. It must be dry air at that. Here- in Mes the secret of the great success of “HY- OMEI” in all bronchial troubles. The air you breathe through Booth’s Inhaler is DRY, freed from all microbes and inden with nature's own antiseptic; this air reaches every part of the bronchial tubes and lungs, kills at once the germs of disease, allaying the irritation caused by thelr presence and healing the inflamed membrane with astonishing rapidity; all this without any trouble to the petient, as the Inhaler can be carried in the pocket and used at any time or in any place, NOTE,—In cases where there is soreness of the chest, “HYOMEI" Balm, the wonderful healer, should be used in connection with the Inhaler. “YORE!” CURES BY INHALATION. It is Nature's own remedy, given through the air you breathe. There is no danger, no risk. Your money is refunded if it falls to relieve. “Hyomei” Outfit, $1.00.
