The residents of Tenleytown are pleased over the order of the Commissioners pro- viding for the introduction of water mains in a subdivision of the village known on is of the land office as Armes- Icigh Park. There will be 1,000 feet of six- main laid in Austin and 39th streets, ‘h pass through the subdivision.

The man was feund walking through the streets with an fron pot in his hand, He was stopped, and explained that he was taking the pot home to use for making turtle soup. The ex- planation was not regarded as satisfactory. A charge of vagrancy was made against him, and in the Police Court this morning he went down for ten days on the farm. The funeral of Richard Berry, the son of Mr. E. P. Berry, cashier of the Farmers’ and Mechani National Bank, was held yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock from the family residence at 3058 U street. The services were conducted by Rev. Francis X. Mulvaney, S.J., assistant pastor of Trinity Church. The interment’ was at Oak Hiil cemetery. The demize occurred Wednes- day, after a short iliress. The deceased was sixteen years of age. He attended the public schools of this place, and was ex- ceedingly popular with his classmates. The police complaint book shows that a number of repairs are needed in this sec- tion. A dangerous hole is reported in the sidewalk in front of 1214 32d street, while the pavement is said to be broken in front of 1230 2kth street. Breaks are also re- ported in the sidewalks in front of 2516 P street and 1050 32d street. The pump on 34th street between U and 32d streets is listed as being out of order, to the incon- venience of the residents of the neighbor- hood. Since the recent fires to the north of town great anxiety has been felt over the absence of fire fighting facilities in that sec- tion. There are numerous schools and in- stitutions on the “heights,” and should a fire break out in any of them great damage will be done, It is feared, before the nearest engine can be pulled up the long hill to that quarter. The need of an engine house in the vicinity of the present high service reservoir has become a topic of constant discussion. The matter is deemed of vital importance.

The Officers Chosen and Committees Appointed—Adoption of a Name —Lict of Members. In response to a request by the Commis- sioners of the District, there was a meet- ing yesterday afternoon, at the board of trade rooms, for the purpose of taking Preliminary steps in the organizatién of a permanent Relief Society for the District of Columbia. Those present were: Mr. J. W. Babson, Justice C. C. Cole, Mr. Jobn F. Cook, Mr. John Joy Edson, Mr. James E. Fitch, Rev. Teunis 8. Hamlin, Prof. B. T.. Janney, Mr. T. A. Lambert, Mrs. Mary L. D. Macfariand, Dr. L. W. Ritchie, Rev. J. D. Stafford, Gen. George M. Stern- berg, Mr. W. S. Thompson, Mr. Geo. Trues- deil, Mr. Geo. S. Wilson and Mr. William Redin Woodward. Letters of apology were presented from several persons who were unable to attend. Justice C. C. Cole was elected temporary chairman and Mr. Geo. 8. Wilson tem- porary secretary. Justice Cole expiained briefly the recom- mendatious of the old central relief com- mittee to the Commfssioners in favor of a permanent incorporated organization, which would be ready to furnish necessary relief at all times and to meet any emergency. He then read the order of the Commis- stoners requesting the formation of the new organization, which order 1s as fol- “The persons hereinafter named are here- by appointed for the purpose of forming a permanent organization for the relief of the poor of the District of Columbia, and Tequested to proceed to organize and ‘form themselves into a body corporate, to fur- nish outdoor relief to the poor, with power to collect and disburse the contributions of charitable persons; to take, hold and con- vey property; to administer bequests in favor of the poor; to purchase and sell at cost, or give away, food, fuel and clothing to the deserving poor, and to perform such other functions as may properly come with- in the province of a relief association.” The meeting then proceeded to elect off- cers to serve during the firs: year of the organization, and the following were unan- imously ch»sen: President, Justice C. C. Cole; vice president, Gen. George M. Stern- herg; secretary, Wm. Redin Woodward; treasurer, Beriah Wilkins. A committee, consisting of Justice C. C. Cole, T. A. Lambert and Geo.

Lewis, Isishop Setterlee, Mrs. Mary L. D. Macfar- land and Justice C. C. Cole. It was decided that the corporate name of the organization shail be the ‘Citizens’ Relief Association of the District of Co- lunvbia.” The meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the chairn.an. es ONE FAVORITE WON. Doggett Suspended for the Rest of the Meeting. While there was a small attendance at the Benning track yesterday, the fifth day of the third spring meeting of the Washington Jockey Club, the day turned out to be the most eventful one of the meeting. In the second race, Tappan, rid- den by Sam Doggett, beat Charantus a head, after bumping him about all the way down the stretch. Inconstancy, the other starter, was fifteen lengths behind. Coylie, the rider of Charantus, promptly claimed a foul against the winner, and it was as promptly sustained by the stewards, Tap- pan being disqualified. Jimmy McLaugh- lin, the trainer of Charantus, was met by Doggett in the paddock shortly after the race, and was accused by Doggett of direct- ing Coylie to claim_a foul. Some words passed, when, as Mclaughlin was walking away, Doggett struck him a savage blow in the eye, badly disfiguring him. Policeman 330, who witnessed the assault, arrested Doggett, but released him a few minutes later, because, as the policeman explained, McLaughlin did not desire Dog- gett prosecuted. The stewards, however, took cognizance of the assault and of the foul riding, and fined Doggett $100. They also suspended him for the rest of the meeting, and sent his case on to the Jockey Club for further action. The track was a sea of mud, and slow, but the racing was good, there being three close finishes. But one favorite, Ortoland, won, and in Boney Boy, at 3 to 1, the longest shot of the meeting, finished first. First race, 5% furlongs—Calculation, 98 (Powers), 4 to 1, won; Hanwell, 112 (Har- rison), 7 to 2 and 7 to 5, second; Merr: Day, 100 (P. Clay), 2 to 1, third. Time, 1:10%%. Sophomore, Deal, Orthos, Princess Ninette and John Sack also ran. Second race, 6 furlongs—Tappan, 100 (Doggett), 4 to 5, won, but was disquali- fied: Charantus, 105 (Coylie), 9 to 5 and out, second; Inconstancy, 108 (Littlefield), 5 to 1, third. Time, 1:17%. Only three started. Third race, two-year-olds, selling, half mile—Boney Boy, 94 (Seaton), 50 to 1, won Rhodymenia, 106 (Littlefield), 8 to 5 and to 5, second; Extreme, 104 (Irving), 30 to 1, third. Time, 51%. Subject, Holden, De- ceptive and Merriness also ran. Fourth race, 6 furlongs, selling—Cherry Picker, 94 (Gee), 6 to 1, won; Gen. Maceo, 88 (O’Connor), 2 to 5 and out, second; South Africa, 104 (Irving), 7 to 2, third, Time, 1:17%. Will Elliott also ran. Fifth race, one mile—Ortoland, 92 (O’Con- nor), 6 to 5, won; Marshall, 110 (Doggett), 5 to 1 and 7 to 5, second; Atlantus, 103 (Hewitt), 12 to 1, third. Time, 1:47%. Knight of the Garter and Squan also ran. Close Game of Basket Ball. The Carroll Institute and Washington Athletic Club basket ball teams played one of th> best and most exciting games of the season last night in the gymnasium of the Washington Athletic Club. The Carrolls won by the score of 2 to 1. There was a large attendence, and the excitement was intense, both scores boing made within six minutes after play began. The Carrolls are now in second place, only one game behind the Corcorans, the Corcorans having played one more than they hav>. The playing of these teams the rest of the season will be watched with much interest, as the loss of & game will put them out of the champlon- ship. ‘The Un2-up: CL Jockey Positions. R. F.

Courtney Has Reason to Believe in PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND. Mayor Courtner, in employing Paine’s celery compound in his family, had the example and as- surance of many persoux who occupy today like resporsible positions in other cities. Mayor Ramsdell of Lynn, a personal friend of Mayor Courtney, recently gave Lis opinion of this great remedy ac follows: “A previous experience with Paine’s celery com- pound as a restorer of exhausted energy induced me recently to take it again, the many duties of the mayor's office having taxed my slight physical resources greatly. I made no mistake. In one week I found my appetite Improved, the feeling of weariness disappearing and my nerves becoming steadier. Paine’s celery compound bas thus been a friend in time of need and I like to say a word for a friend.” His unnesitating recommendation had much to do With its use by Mayor Courtney. Mayor Miles B. Preston of Hartford, Coun., sald in a day or two, speaking of the seme remedy: ‘The modern man of business, be he ever 60 sturdy, finds often that the continued pressure of affairs has caused the nerves to remonstrate and compound has enabled me to escape my periodical attack of rheumatism this winter. I very cheer fally recommend tt to ove jo similar need, in the full belief that it will be helpful in every case.” Mayor Courtney has been eminently smecessful as a lawyer, one of his appeals to the supreme court having been instrumental in bringing about the passage of the present ballot reform law. Mayor Courtney’s happy experience with Patine’s celery compound is shown in bis letter annexed: LOWELL, Mass., November 11, 1897. Messrs.

Line ef Battle Formed and Ships Cleared for Action—Splendid Work With Guns. ——_+e+___ A dispatch from the Associated Press COLLEGE OF FELLOWS. correspondent on the flagship Brooklyn filed at Fortress Monroe, Va., last night s&ys: The flying squadron, the departure ef which caused so much excitement on Wednesday, returned today to anchorage at Fortress Monroe, after having completed two*days and two nights of arduous labor with satisfaction to its commanding officer. Commodore Schiey wanted the captains of the fleet to know each other in the move- ment of their vessels, and to be able to an- swer quickly to all signals for movements likely to be made in an engagement. Run- ning down to Cape Henry on Wednesday afternoon, the squadron was taken fifteen miles out to sea, at the same time maneu- vering in response to the signals from the. flagship. All of the big vessels responded quickly, the heavy battle ships Massachusetts and Texas being especially and surprisingly quick. Line of battle was formed with the Brooklyn on the right, the Massachusetts to the right of the Brooklyn, the Minne- apolis to the left of the Massachusetts, the Columbia next and the Texas on the ex- treme left. The signal to anchor in line was obeyed so well that an almost perfect alignment was obtained. Anchorage was made on Wednesday night fifteen miles east. of Cape Charles light, near the southern drill ground. Thursday morning found very unfavora- ble conditions for either maneuvering or using the guns, the weather being intense- ly disagreeable, with a heavy rain and hail storm and a high sea, but Commodore Schley decided to go out and begin the maneuvering. The Massachusetts dipped her low nose in the water time after time. taking up tons of water, but was handied beautifully, coming up to alignment or circling more quickly than a light cruiser. The other vessels were also quick to re- spond to signals. The drill was kept up all day, and at nightfall anchorage was made at ‘a point thirteen miles from Cape Charles. After dark signal work by elec- tric light was practiced for two hours. Quick Response to Battle Calls. At 9 o'clock, when most of the officers and men had prepared to retire, the call to quarters and battle calls were sounded. On the Brooklyn so quickly was the work done that every division officer had reported “ready” in four minutes and the ship was ready for battle, with water-tight compart- ments closed, ammunition Circle Formed of American Society of Religious Education. The Washington Circle of the College of Fellows, American Society of Religious Education, was organized at a meeting held last evening at Columbian University by the election of the following officers for the coming year: John M. Gregory, LL. D., chairman; Rev. Geo. N. Luccock, D. D., vice chairman, and Prof. R. D. Warder, secretary. The purpose of the circle is to unite the efforts of evangelical scholars in behalf of religious education, first, in awakening in- creased interest in the subject; second, in collecting, classifying and preserving in- formation of all that has been done in this country and in foreign lands in this depart- ment; third, in instituting those studies which may increase a knowledge of Scrip- ture and improve the methods of Scripture study and teaching; fourth, in commending to public favor such literature as may be serviceable in the religious instruction of the Sunday school, the family and the col- lege, and especially in developing the spirit- ual life of individuals. For the coming year it is proposed that the Washington Circle shall devote itself to the historical study @f religious educa- tion, —__.>—_ Woman's Suffrage Assoc! The District Woman Suffrage Association held its regular meeting at Willard’s Hotel ‘Thursday evening, April 14. The leading paper of the evening was by Mrs. Belva Lockwood, on “How Women Should Go to the Klondike.” The Klondike trip as it is, might be, and will be, its aspects in a geographical, prac- tical, pathetic, ludicrous, successful or un- successful attitude were portrayed in Mrs. Lockwood's best and wittiest style. Miss Gillett followed with “The Pace that Kills,” an old title, but treated in a man- ner thoroughly new. She advanced the thought that too slow a pace is equally, if not more, destructive than one usually called too fast. Mrs. Cooper, the sculptress, closed the ex- ercises with the reciting of a poem on the loss of the ine, written by the lady's young son. —__——— Mrs. Brown’s Lecture.
