The foundation of this gossip could not be reliably establish- ed today, but there is 0 doubt it is true, and when this is known absolutely the Ma- sons will be very much gratified over thts additional interesting feature. The board of control will ncet tonight and the many matters of importance will be considered and disposed of. The opening exercises for the fair will be decided on and many new attractions announced. A motion will also he adopted calling on the various Masonic bedies to send in the lists of the donations received by them without delay, it being desired to give full publicity to these fa- vors.

The English Village Again. The installation of the donations to “ye olde English villag>” will be a matter of grcat ceremony, as the ladiés In charge of the booths are, in a spirit of friendly ri- valry, striving to outdo each other. Mrs. John C. Pennie, who will have charge of the confectionery, has secur2d one of the “shops” on the main street of the village and has succeeded, with the help of her able assistants, in obtaining a stock of candies of the most toothsome varieties.

Mrs. Clarence B. Rheem has kindly consented to take charge of this booth, and has ar- ranged, with commendable energy, many novelties for the smokers who wili patron- ize this exhibit. None but the very finest grades of cigars and tobacco will be dis- posed of, and among other novelties several boxes of cigars are now being made by a prominent manufacturer, which will be Fatterned after the first weeds ever made in Englard, when the delightful narcotic was first adopted on the recommendation of the early Virginia settlers.

Case of Dennis Canty Deferred—Ill- ness of District Attorney. Dennis J. Canty, indicted Wednesday last for the murder of George M. Rye, will not be culled for arraignment, it is understood, for several days. Owing to slight illness, District Attorney Davis is at present con- fired to his home, and his subordinates will not take any steps in connection with the Canty case until. Mr. Davis reports for duty und gives the necessary directions. The officials of the district attorney’s of- fice are unable to state with any degree of accuracy just when the oleomargarine cases will be called for trial. In all prob- ability it will be several weeks, and very likely after the close of the Canty case. So far as is known the next case of in- terest to be called for trial in the District Supreme Court will be that of Frank H. Miles, under indictment for -embézzlement in connection with the issuance of tax cer- tifitates in behalf of the District of Co- lumbia. This trial may occur earty next week. = “Hoodooed” Ships. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I am much gratified that the christening of the Kentucky battle ship was with water, despite some opposition lest the vessel in consequence should be a “hoodoo”—a_ fear which has no proper besis ever in‘*a seanran’s superstition, ‘be- cause the records of history are directly against it. Edward T. Lincoln, late of the United States navy and past captain of the Naval Veteran Association of Lllinois, has fur- nished the Union Signal with the follow- ing facts? The Constitution, ‘Old Ironsides,” the pet ship of the navy in the war of 1812 and thereafter celebrated in song, and story and known and loved by every schoolboy, was christened with water taken from a spring on Cops Hill, where the battle of Bunker Hill was fought, and a bottle of salt water broken over her figurehead as she left the ways. The United States ship Hartford, built in the Charlestown navy yard and launch- ed November 22, 1858, was christened by a fair sponsor, who broke across its figure- head a bottle of Connecticut river water, and by another young lady, who broke a bottle of spring water, and by the late Ad- miral Preble, then a lieutenant, who con- cluded the ceremony with a like quantity of ocean brine. No ship except the Con- stitution has had anything like the record of the Hartford. She left the Charlestown navy yard in 1859, consigned to the East India squadron, commanded by Commodore C. K. Stribling, and returned to the United States December 10, 1861. She was com- missiot.ed January 19, 1862, at Philadel- phia_as the flagship of Commodore David G. Farragut of the west gulf squadron. She was in the battles, as is well known, below New Orleans and was hit over 140 times by shell from the confederate works. She also did noble work at Galveston and Mobile bays. It was to her mast that Ad- miral Farragut was lashed during most of the fight at Mobile bay, that he might clearly observe and direct the movements of his fleet. She now lies at Mare Island navy yard, San Francisco, being put in first-class order for future service. The Hartford has a record second to none in the world as a lucky ship. She never had an accident or any ill luck, and every old sailor is proud of her and gives unstinted praise for her services, and yet she was christened with nothing stronger than salt water. In contrast with these two “water” ships, lucky, renowned in history and well beloved, the past captain gave the follow- ing particulars as to “nine” ships: The President—a large gun exploded and Killed several visitors, government offi- clals, on the Potomac river. The Missis- sippi—Lost on the river of the same name in the civil war. The Huron—Lost off Cape Hatteras, over 100 lives lost. The Orna- do—Run into by an English vessel in Bom- bay harbor; over 100 officers and men lost. The New Ironsides—Destroyed by a_tor- pedo in Charleston harbor, with large loss of life. The Tecumseh—Lost in Mobile. bay, with every one on board. The Nipsic, tha Vandalia and Trenton—All lost in a hurri- cane near the Samoan Islands, Pacific ocean. The Texas ran aground, was sunk, had-many mishaps and is known as. the hcodoo of the navy. The Maine, “the pride of the navy,” blown up in the harbor of Havana and nearly 300 men lost.

At the meeting of the board of supervis- ors for Alexandria. county . yesterday twenty sets of plans for the new court house were submitted to the board, and, after considerable discussion, it was de- cided to accept those plans.offered by Mr. A. Goenner of Washington; known as the “Blue Ridge.” It is proposed to spend $20,000 in the erection of court house, offices and jail, and the plans of Mr. Goenner show a cost of $19,350. & At the recent session of the Virginia leg- islature Alexandria county was authorized to issue bonds for this purpose. The county court is now held in the old court house, on Columbus street, in this city, which belongs to the city and county jointly, but which will probably be sold by an act of the legis- lature and the amount so rzceived divided between the city and county. The county’s share will be devoted to the new buildings en Fort Myer Heights. The jail-in this city is also used for county prisoners, but it is said this ar- rangement do2s not work satisfactoriiy. It is not believed the removal of the court house wil! in any way affect the trede be- tween the city and county. Mysterious Disappearanee.

The organization of the Wilhelmj Club Gates back to 1887, with the following mem- bers: Misses Bertha Lucas, Mattie Saxton, Minna Heinrichs, Roberta Allen, Emity Coyle, Emma Prall, Daisy Hickox and Nona Von Stosch. In the very first season of their public appearance thsy performed the beautiful and difficult theme and verie- tions from the D minor quartet by Franz Schubert. Their enthusiasm and énergy in preparation of this work was rewarded by their conductor, Mr. Josef Kaspar, who pressnted each of the members with a suit- able souvenir pin with the proper inscrip- tion. Miss Von Stosch on her last visit here in Washington pointed to hers with pride, saying it was one of the trinkets she val. ued most. A few months later, when Mr. Kaspar was appointed musical diractor of the Georgetown Orchestra, the Wilhelmj ‘Club joined the orchestra, and at each con- cert there was one number for strings only that always proved an attraction. The club has played some of th> most important works for string orchestra, among others, “Serenade,” by Robert Fuchs and Victor Herbert; suite, by Grieg; serenade for string orchestra and fiute of Tadasohn. suite, by Goetze; symphon2tta of Tense! theme .and variations from the “Kaiser Quartet” of Haydn.

THE NEW DRY AIR GERMICIDE FOR THE CURE OF DISEASES IN THE RES- PIRATORY ORGANS. WATURE’S OWH REMEDY. BY INHALATION ALONE CAN GERMS BE REACHED AND DESTROYED. It has often been said by scientific and medical men that nature has provided a cure for every dis- ease, an antidote for every poison. This saying Was never_so clearly exemplified as in the discov- ery of HYOMEL, the first Dry Air Germicide ever found of sufficlent power to kill the germs of all respiratory diseases, yet volatile enongh to im- Preguate every particle of air breathed and leave it free from muisture. For years physicians have labored to find come cure for Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma and Consumption, ard statistics show how utterly they bave failed in their efforts. This has not been for the lack of a remedy which would kill the bacilli of disease, but due to the fact that such remedies could be used in no other way than through sprays, douches, atomizers and vapors, which precluded all possibility of their ever enter ing the bronchial tubes and lungs. What a con- trast between these old methods and the new! Since HYOMEI was first discovered this new ger- micide, which can be cerried in the air you breathe to the minutest air cells of the lungs, has been tested by over 381,000 people, and, although every bottle has been guaranteed, but eleven persons out of this vast number have reported no beneft re- ceived and asked for a return of their money. “HYOMEI”’ CURES BY INHALATION. “Hyomei” Gutfit, $1.
