Prosecutor Pugh of the District branch of the Police Court today nolle prossed the case of Harry Davis, a fifteen-year-old colored boy, charged with vagrancy, at the Yequest of the mother of the boy, and on condition that she would send the lad out of the District at once. - It will be remembered that Friday even- ing last Davis was taken into custody by Officer Murphy, who found the accused begging in front of the Ebbitt House, and that an immense crowd of people, who did not understand the facts, followed the offi- cer and his prisoner, while many persons in the assemblage used abusive language toward the officer. The case was partially heard Saturday by Judge Scott and continued until today. There were today present in court a num- ber of business men, who had witnessed the arrest, and who volunteered to appear in the officer's behalf at the final. hearing, but their evidence was not needed. a Normal Kindergarten. ‘The graduation of the eighth annual class from the Elizabeth Peabody Kindergarten Normal School, gat the Congregational Church, 10th and G streets, Friday even- ing was an event of much interest.

He Was Conspicuous in the Arrest of Lincoln Conspirators. William W. Williams, the well-known detective, who was head of the Williams Detective Agency, died last night at 10:30 o'clock at 944 E street northwest, where he had lived for a number of years. Mr. Williams was engaged in the secret service of the War Department during the last war, and figured with conspicuous ability in developing the circumstances surround- ing the assassination of President Lincoln and establishing the connection of the va- rious conspirators with each other. He has made his residence in this city ever since, and has enjoyed a wide reputation for shrewd ability in his particular vocation. Mr. Williams was an old and popular member of the Order of Elks, and his funeral will be in charge of the local lodge. Mr. Williams had been’ a sufferer from rheumatism for some time, but he was not regarded as being dangerously ill, and his sudden death came as a great shock to his friends. Mr. Williams’ funeral will take place at the lodge room of the Elks, 1006 E street northwest, tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. "The remains will be removed there at 2 o'clock, and from that time until the commencement of the services the friends of the deceased will have an oppor- tunity of viewing them. The beautiful bur- ial service of the Elks will be read by the proper officers. —_+-——_ THE NAVAL RESERVES. Battalion Now Being Formed as Part of D. C.N. G. The naval battalion now b3ing formed at the National Guard armory will provide a body of men well drilled in the art of naval warfare, which will be of great service in the defense of the national capital. The or- ganization will have th> advantage of a fine water front, and the Chesapeake bay will afford facilities for drill and exercises aboard ship which give promise of develop- ing one of the finest organizations of its kind in the country. Situatsd at the seat of government. with the navy yard near at hand, the naval kattalion expects to soon place itself in a position to be of substantial use. ‘The question of uniforms is now being consider2d, and it has been practically de- cided to adopt as far as possible the pattern in use in the United States navy, adding thereto some distinguishing mark to indi- cate the local character of the organiza- tien. It is the present intention to have the rren supplied with two full suits, one a duck or canvas working outfit and the oth- er a blue mustering uniform. Citizens of the District may become mem- bers, provided they are betwe2n eighteen and thirty-five years of age and physically sound. This organization will be a part of the National Guard of the District, and men enlisting therein will not expect to be sent to the front unless hereafter called upon as volunteers by the general govern- ment. The enlisting office will be open Wednes- day, Thursday and Saturday evenings, June 8, 9 and 11, at 8 o'clock, at the National Guard armory, over Canter market, Penn- sylvania avenue between 7th and 9th streets pnerthwest. ———— BOYS SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL. and Committed Series of Thefts. “My father wants me to go to the reform school and I want also to go there,” said Thomas Jacobs, a white boy, aged four- teen, today to Judge Kimball in the Police Court. Jacobs was accused with Harry Claggett, ag2d ten years, of entering, an evening or two ago, the stable of Mr. George E. Cross- well, a grocer in Soffth Washington, and stealing a box of candy, valued at $1. The arrest was made by Detective Henry of the fourth precinct, who told Judge Kimball that Claggett kad,be2n engaged in several robberies, and that his father had paid for the loss of such things as were brought to his attention—in one instance $7 for cakes. It was further shown that Claggett stole the key by which he and Jacobs enter2d Mr. Crosswell’s stable, and that after steal- ing the box of candy and making away with it, Claggett and Jacobs returned to the building with the avowed intention of tak- ing Mr. Crosswell’s horse and wagon and leaving for th? Klondike. The boys struck a light, in order to aid them in Eitching up the team, and this at- tracted the attention of several neighbors, who frightened the lads away before they could carry out their object. Th> father of Claggett, who is a railroad engineer, made an earnest appeal to Judge Kimball to let him take his son home, say- ing that he would keep him in the house all the time, thus preventing him from getting into mischief again, but Judge Kimball de- clined, Detective Henry told Judge Kimball that both the accused boys belong to eminently respectabl2 families. This closed the hear- ing and Judge Kimball directed that the boys be sent to the reform school. SS = Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate. Frank T.

This is the sec- ond week's run of this play, and its popu- larity is fully proved. It has much that is amusing in it, which serves to keep the interest of the audience alive, while there are also bits of pathos that make the eyes of the most hardened play-goer nioisten. The play is well cast, and, while it may be called by some a one-part play, still there are opportunities for other besides Brother John, and thege opportunities are improv- ed by the ladies and gentlemen in the other parts, Mrs. Agnes Findlay is simply de- lightful in her impersonation of Beck Hackett, the old maid sister, and thorough- ly identifies herself with the character, as only an artist can. She is not thought of as Mrs. Findlay, but only as the character so skillfully drawn by the author. Miss Mayo does some good work as sie Ro- Jan, her dance in the third act gaining loud and continuous applause. Miss Maud Has- lam brings to the part of Hetty Rolan the intelligence and artistic grace that characterizes ali her work, and, though the part affords small opportunity for her abil- ities, she does her work with that nicety of finish that bespeaks the experienced actress. Miss Louise Douglass, who play- ed Mrs. Van Sprague last night, is a great ir provement on the lady who took the part last week. Mr. John Lancaster does some good work as Bobby, and Wm. Ingersoll as Edward Kidd, Alex. Kearney as Henry De Ruyter and J. A. Bass as Wolf Hopkins were satisfactory. Mr. Barrows has found in Brother John the best part in which he has been seen in Washirgton, and he plays it with an unction that greatly pleases the audience. He comes nearer to getting away from “Jimmie Barrows” than in any’ character he has ever before att2mpted, and he deserves high praise for good and effective work. “OLIVETTE” AT GLEN ECHO.—The Parry Opera Company began its second week at Glen Echo with Audran’s tuneful and amusing opera, “Olivette.” The com- pany as a whole shows marked improve- ment after a week's work together. This js particularly true of the principals, who seem to have been cast to a much better advantage in “Olivette” than in “The Mi- kado.” The performance had a smoothness and evenness throughout which was lack- ing to some extent in “The Mikado.” A week's work together had demonstrated the strong points of the principals, and they were selected with good judgment to fill roles in the last production. The public is too well acquaiated with “Olivette” to need any description of that always popular opera. Evidence of the high esteem in which it ts held by the pub- lic was manifest In the large audience present. Miss Alleen Crater, who was in the title role, made an ideal Olivette. She was in fine voice and was repeatedly re- cailed in the popular airs of her part. Her acting was quite equal to her singing, and she succeeded admirably in bringing out all the fine humor which rightly belongs to the character. Viola D'Armon again won distinction as a high-class opera singer in the role of the countess. Her fine contralto voice seemed admirably adapted to the music of the part and her acting was fault- less. Selina Rough as Veloutine and Liz- zie Winner as Moustique had parts which sulted their capabilities better than those they had in “The Mikado.” Frank Deshon completely captivated the audience with his inimitably funny rendering of the part of Coquelicot. He brought in much that was original, and all his innovations added to the entertaining quality of the part. He was the undisputed favorite from the time he made his appearance on the stage. Geo. Broderick was an ideal Capt. de Merrimac, and Jay C. Taylor as Valentine, the cap- tain’s nephew, sang and acted the part in a highly creditable way. Harry Carter's Duc des Ifs was exceptionally well done. He has a much more intelligent conception of the character than is manifested usually in the interpretation of the part. The duke is usually represented as a silly, frothy fop, yet with enough of the heavy villain’s nerve to lay deep plots to kidnap and carry off his disdainful cousin. Mr. Carter's con- ception of the character 1s that of a thor- oughly polished und perhaps somewhat frivolous man of the world, but withal a man of strong underlying character, fully capable of doing much that was manly, elther for good or evil. Tom Daly's Mayor Morrejol was well done, though a part in which there is only limited opportunity for good work. The chorus was fully up to the high standard established last week in “The Mikado,” and, altogether, the pro- duction of Olivette will please the music- loving pubii KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER —AI- though this is the third appearance this season of Jermon's “Black Crook,” there is enough variation in the performance this Week to warrant its support as a new show. Several new faces and acts have been add- ed, and the reigning New York sensation, “A Milk White Bath,” {one of the spiciest acts seen here this season. “Americans in London,” a musical satire upon society, opens the entertainment and introduces the company, “with its pretty girls and comical comedians. The olio which follow- ed brought out Kittie Clements, the origi- nal Bowery Girl, whose delineation of the tough East Side damsel was very realistic. Emery and Marlow gave ten minutes of fun, and Kittie Wells had a bouquet of new songs, which she gave in her own dainty style. Smith and Champion repeat- ed their successful sketch, and the Ameri- cus Comedy Four mixed ‘up good comedy with excellent choruses and made a hit. Then came Mile. Renia, who, following the success of Charmion, ‘introduced for the first time in Washington another disrobing act, in which a bath tub took the place of the trapeze. The performance concluded with a musical burletta, entitled “A Night in Paris,” by the company. A new star was introduced in Blythe Tyson, who as Millie Rouge, the star of the Mabille, made a de- cided hit. ————— MODERN MODE OF COOKING. Gas Ranges or Stoves Agents of Cleanliness, Comfort and Economy. Washington seems to be experiencing an epidemic in the matter of gas stoves and gas ranges, and hundreds of kitchens that were formerly hot and stifling, smoke-filled and ashes-soiled are being made cool, pleas- ant and clean by reason of the introduc- tion of modern culinary appliances, which utilize gas for heating Purposes. Besides the ease and lessened work due to gas ranges, their use is everywhere known to be economically wise, as big coal bills are’ made things of the past, and there is no more expense for the removal of ashes. Persons who have not investigated the modern mode of cooking should certainly visit the Associated Gas Range Exhibit now in progress at No. 614 12th street north- west,a few doors northof Fstreet,in charge of Miss L. C. Andrews. The gas stoves and ranges shown are from the well-known es- tablishments of Barber & Ross, C. A. Mud- diman, S. 8. Shedd & Bro. and E. F. Brooks and embrace all the best makes, ndrews is a cook of experience, and knows all about gas stoves and ranges, and visitors will find a visit to the exhibit and a chat with her at once instructive and en- tertaining. Between 3. and 4.9’clock each afternoon Miss Andrews gives a practical demonstration of the wonderful advantages gas cooking presents over the old style. * pan else < Valuable property, n.w. corner of 2d and | D sts. nw., will be sold at auction tomor- row, June 8th, 1808, at 5 o'clock, subject to deed of trust.—Advt. es ae TENDER A RECEPTION. Dr. and Mrs. Talmage Entertain Clergymen and Their Wives. The reception given by Rev. T. De Witt Talmage and Mrs. Talmage at their resi- denice, 1400 Massachusetts avenue, last evening to the Presbyterian clergymen and their wives of the city, was a delightful affair. The guests were greeted by the host and hostess, who stood to receive them in flower-decked rooms. During the evening an orchestra rendered music. A pleasing feature was the informal ad- dresses which were calied for. Rev. Dr. Sunderland described in an int manner an interview he had with Presi- dent Lincoln, just before the emancipation proclamation was issued, and Rev. Dr. theme ‘How It Feels to Be a Moderator.” An account of a visit to the late Mr. RELIEF © VOLUNTEERS Ohaplaiis Gouden Iaeriee.a) Circalar to Citizens @f the District. Meeting Callad gor Organization as a Means of AMing Members of Finest Regiment. Rev. Henry WN. ouden, the chaplain of ‘the House of Representatives, has~ taken the initiative iman attempt to perfect an or- ganization of ditizens for the relief of the volunteer soldfers’from the District of Co- lumbla who are now at the front by issu- ing the following call for a mass meeting of citizens: “To the relatives, friends and all citizens interested in the 1st Regiment, District of Columbia Volunteer Infantry: “I have a son connected with the regi- ment; and while my sympathies go out to ali soldiers, my heart is naturally with the District boys, and I want to do something to lighten the burdens incident to the life ofa soldier and be ready should our boys be called upon to face the bullets of the enemy to render them assistance. I have, therefore, engaged the G. A, R. Hall, Penn- sylvania ‘avenue between i4th and 15th streets, and shall be heartily glad to meet all who feel as I do upon this matter at 8 p.m. Friday, June 10, that we may effect an organization which will put us in the way of the desired end.” “It appears to me,” said Dr. Couden, to. @ Star reporter, “that we’ could do a great deal for the benefit:of our boys at the front. "We might provide for their com- fort if sick by sending them supplies. If vamy. oz them:die in Cuba of diseage.or are killed by the enemy the organization could bring’ horhe the bodies of those whose friends might not be able to stand the ex- pense. “Moreover, it may appear that some of the volunteers left families in straitened circumstances here, and the organization could render service to them. I have been a soldier myself and I know something of the circumstances attending a soldier's lot. It seems to me, therefore, that the organ- ization of a relief soctety would be benc- ficial in many ways, so i have taken the liberty to make the first move, and see if We can get the citizens together.” ee ITS FIFTH “ANNIVERSARY. Anti-Saloon League to Indulge in a Celebration. The fifth anniversary of the Anti-Saloon League will be celebrated this year the last Sunday in this month. It was an- nounced at the regular semi-monthly meet- ing of the league, last night, that the First Congregational Church had been secured for the occasion, and that Prof Bischoff and his choir would furnish the music. Speakers are yet to be decided upon; also such exercises ag shall be found to be de- sirable. ‘There were twenty-elght societies repre- sented at the roll-call, and the meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Walter Brooks. Several new. members were introduced, and Douglas Church Epworth League was re- ceived into the association. After the report of the executive com- mittee, as to tie gnniversary meeting and others matters@ resolution was passed in memory of the: late Elijah A. Morse of Massachusctts,« former Tepresentative in Congress. TI president, Mr. Ewin, the secretary, Mr. Suter, and the chaplain, Rev. Mr. Brooks, were made a committee to take further/nction in recognitfon of tho services of Mr.-Morse in the cause of tem- perance. A resolution ef condolence with Mr. By- ron Ford of theleague upon the recent Geath of his wifeiwas passed. Mr. Shoemaker reported on legislation and as attorney fer the league. He said the Commissioners’: bi on the liquor traliic in the District had been substituted for that propesed by the league, and had been offered in both hotses of Congress. There were recitations and music by Miss Ross, Miss Morrison and Miss Matheson, and they .were heartlly applauded. The coon Atanas entertainment was commend- ed. At the next meeting there will be reports frcm affiliated bodies." A committee, con- sisting of Mrs. Sara Smith, Mrs. Loftus and Mrs. Neerr, was appointed to provide light refreshments for that time. ——.——__ Observance of Children’s Day. The regular morning service at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church gave way to the observance of Children’s day, and the large audience room was filled with members of the Sunday school and their friends. ‘The two mission Sunday schools, Faith and Bethany, were brought from the chapels in Knox's wagons. The singing was led by the précentor, Mr. Perry Turpin. . Dr. Radcliffe, the pastor, talked most entertainingly to the children ut bird cages filled with all kinds of birds, good and bad, cleverly comparing tho human heart to the cage and closing with urging the little ones to keep their hearts full of beautiful singing birds. The church was elaborately decorated with flags and bunting and much interest centered in the presentation of a stand of colors to the Sunday school by Mrs. H. J. Finley, which was brought down the center aisle by two young men. The presentation address was read by Mr. Charles Young. The assistant pastor, Rev. E. Lawrence Hunt, accepted the colors, in a very graceful speech, and Mrs. Shir- Cliff sang “The Star Spangled Banner.” A patriotic drill by the infant class, under Mrs. Weston Flint, came next, and the exercises closed with the little ones singing “America.” The entire service was a memorable one. > DR. SUNDERLAND RETIRES. Formal Action Taken by Washington > €ity Presbytery. The resignation of Rev. Dr. Byron Sun- derland as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church was formally accepted at a meet- ing yesterday of the presbytery of Wash- ington city. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, the co-pastor, was recognized as the sole pastor of the church. The resolutions adopted at the recent meeting of the con- gregation were presented by Mr. Theodore F. Sargent, and speeches were made by a number of the members of the presbytery expressive of the appreciation of the long services of Dr. Sunderland, who has just completed his forty-sixth year as pastor of the First Church. Mr. Thomas W. Brown was examined for Hcentiate and ordination. ———>—_—_ Don’t Fail to Attend.

The cruelty of the high check rein on horses, especially during the hot weather, was discussesd, and it was decided to ask the press of the city to call attention to it. Also the unintentional cruelty of owners of dogs in permitting them to follow them on their fast bicycle rides. —_>—_—__ WOMAN'S MISSIONS. Third Quarterly Meeting of Two So- cleties at Kensington.

Can We Be Cured Of Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma, Consumption ? A Test by Which the True Value of All Cures Can be Determined. How many thousands there are today who woul gladly pay almost uny reasonatle sum to be cured of either one of the above diseases, but, knowing of so many different remedies and treatments, are unable to decide vni e to try. It does seem x difficult task, yet becomes a comparatively easy ene if the person afflicted will but use # little good Judgment and common seuse. In the first place, every man and woman knows, or should knot that the alr passages were made for alr alone, am that nature bas so constructed these passages that molsture of any kivd eannot enter the bronchial tubes or lungs. This at once precludes all possi- dflity of a cure of deep-seated discascs being ef- fected by treatment requiring the use of prays, douche®, atomizers or vapors. S-condly, all regu- lar physicians admit that these discases are purely local ana must be treated locally, consequently e b medic.nee become useless in treating diss eases of the ulr passages. The diseased parts must be reached through the alr we breathe or not at all. Not only this, but a germicide must be used which will leave the air dry and yet have the Power to destroy the bacilli of disease in e mi- butest air cells of the lungs. This decision reach- en comes the question: Is there such a ger- which can be inhaled through the alr you Thirty-eight hundred physicians and over three hundred thousand persons who have tested st say YES.
