DOCTORS AND DENTISTS Classes Graduated This Year From the Na- tional University. Commencement Exercises Held at National Theater — Address by Dr. Winter—Valedictory Feature. The fourteenth annual commencement of the medical and dental departments of the National University took place last night at the National Theater, which was filled, galleries and auditorium, with an enthu- siastic audience of friends of the institu- tion and of the graduating classes. The elaborate decorations and the display of flowers on this ovcasion have not been surpassed at any Washington commence- ment. The theater was one mass of wav- ing flags and American bunting, the artifi- cial breezes wafted from electric fans put- ting life into the red, white and blue dec- orations. Noticeable here and there among the billowing American flags were English ensigns, in honor of the entente between the two great countries. The stage was set as a conservatory, and the effect was carried out by a wealth of ferns and potted.plants, while the footlight border was banked. with magnificent cut flowers. An immense floral flag was sus- pended from the center of the stage, bear- ing on a white shield in the center: “N. U., 98, M. D.—D. D. 8.” The graduates of the two departments, the class in dentistry including two young women, filed on the stage at a few minutes after 8 o'clock, the faculty of the university following and being seated to the right, directly opposite the graduates. Before the exercises of the evening began and at in- tervals during the various ceremonies an orchestra, directed by Mr. B. L. Taylor, a member of the junior dental class of the university, rendered patriotic and martial music that was most enjoyable. Dr. Winter's Address, The program opened with an invocation by Rev. F. D. Power, D. D., followed by the address to the graduating classes by Prof. John T. Winter, M. D., president of the medical facuity. He told the young physicians they had chosen an honorable profession, in the practice of which they were sure to win many friends. He also urged them to see to it that they committed no act for which they might be called to account. The physician, he said, should not shirk a duty or fail to respond to any call made upon him. They must care for the health of a community and look al- ways to an improvement of sanitary condi- tions. 3 Dr. Winter declared that the physician should be extremely careful in the use or abuse of alcohol. No question is of. more importance to the man of medicine than this, whether in its use or prescription. The speaker denied that doctors’ prescrip- tions have ever been a source of drunken- ness. Doctors only prescribe aloohol, he said, as a heart stimulant, as which it is quickly effective and fairly trustworthy. Healthy persons do not need alcohoi in their systems and are much better without it. Investigation and experiment have proved, he declared, that soldiers in the field can stand harder work when they ab- Stain from its use. Accounts for Good Marksmanship. “We hear much nowadays,” continued the speaker, “of the wonderful marksman- ship of the gunners in the United States navy. The reason for this may be attrib- uted to the abandonment of the daily al- lowance of grog in the navy by this gov- ernment. This explains Admiral Dewey's great victory at Manila. Every shot fired by his gunners seems to have found its mark. The American arms will always be thus triumphant in the engagements with the Spanish. In some armies today, {n- cluding that of Spain, the men are given a fouble portion of grog before going into attle for the Purpose of making them more ferocious and bloodthirsty. May this not account for the superiority of Amerl- can arms? Ferociousness avails little In this day of cool and careful firing at long range. In properly sclected cases alcohat 1s Of benefit. Those who abstain alto- gether from its use, however, and keep ecol, can better write prescriptions and shoat than one whose pulse is quickened by alcoholic stimulants.” List of Graduates. In the absence of Chief Justice Richard H. Alvey, LL.D., chancellor of the univer- sity, the vice chancellor, Mr. Matthew G. Emery, presented the diplomas as follows: Graduates in medicine—John R. Atwell, District of Columbia; Ernest A. A. Dunn, District of Columbia; Charles H. Fischer, New York. Graduates in dentistry—P. Bonnard Bain, ‘Texas; Seneca B. Bain, Texas; Charles H. Beach, Kentucky; Silas C. Ellis, Miesou Charles H. Fischer, New York; Ernest V Fowler, M.D., District of Columbia; W! liam 8. Frankland, District of Columbia; Albert F. Hodes, New York; Roue L.

Schafhirt, District of Co- lumbila; Edward 8. Smith, District of C lumbia; Miss Lena B. Watson, Louisiana. Misses Moore and Watson were given ovations as they received their diplomas. The valedictory address was made by Mr. Seneca B. Bain, D.D.8., who said that at the close of the revolutionary war there was one dentist in this country for every 175,000 of the population, whereas today there 1s one dentist for every 3,000, yet the work of these men is greater now than it was in the last century. Like all of his fellow graduates, Mr. Bain was glad to be a graduate of National University. ee EXCURSIONS.

A little man named Lesher, partly clad with a thick coating of dirt, appeared be- fore Judge Scott this morning, charged with being a vagrant and suspicious person. “And I ain’t guilty,” was his indignant plea. “I ain't no more of a vagrant than some other people I know.” Lesher is a basket maker, who gathers willow switches on the flats and manufac- tures his wares on sidewalks. He is well known about the market. “He's been getting drunk for some time,” Policeman Sullivan said, “and he had been drinking when he reached the market this morning. He sold his straw hat for five cents and bought whisky, and then cut off a pants leg and made a hat of it.” The officer explained that when he made the arrest Lesher threatened to cut him, and made an effort to get a knife from his pocket. In his own behalf the prisoner told of his making baskets for his living, and admitted that he did drink.

The excursion tendered the Letter Car- tiers’ Association of the city by the busi- ness men of Washington, which takes place at River View tomorrow, Friday, promises to be @ most enjoyable affair, and it is hoped will add quite a considerable sum to the treasury of the association. The let- ter carriers serve the public in foul weath- er as well as fair, and it is in appreciation of this faithful service that the business men of the city determined to aid the car- riers and make their excursion a great success. To transport the large throng expected out on the occasion the River View line steamers Samuel J.

Prevailing Rate of Interest for Local and Outside Money. Recently a loan was recorded here which was secured in residence property and the rate named was 4 per cent. The latter feature of the transaction attracted considerable attention among those who have money to loan, as well as among borrowers, for the reason that it is claim- ed to be lower than the prevailing rate. It is said that with possibly one exception no very recent loans have been made on real estate in this city at the rate above given. It is also asserted that quite a good deal of money is offered on good real ostate security at 432 per cent, yet that such money can not be obtained from local sources, but comes from moneyed insti- tutions in Philadelphia and New York, where there is a greater accumulation of money than is the case in this city and where the rate of interest on loans of this character has been somewhat lesa than that which obtains here. It is also said that no local money is of- fered for less than 5 per cent and that the rate prevailing here is 6 and 6 per cent, the latter usualiy being paid on loans which can be returned at interest periods in sums to suit the borrower. For money which is loaned at fixed periods and weil secured it is said that 5 per cent may be considered as the rate. One of the large financial institutions of the city recently refused an application tor a large loan on good property at 4% per cent. It was stated that one reason for this action was the unwillingness to establish such a precedent, as no money had been loaned for less than 5 per cent. It was further urged that the rate for money was likely to advance in the future, especially if the war ends’ sdon ‘and ac- tivity in business follows, as is “believed will be the case. It is sald one reason why the rate for money is at present so low is because holders refuse to invest, and leave it on deposit in the banks. In other words, there is said to be a glut in the money market, which will be relieved, it is thought, as soon as people begin to find investments for their surplus. It is also asserted by those connected with financial institutions that there is no need to accept lower rates of interest, as good loans for all the money available can be secured at the present rates. In some quarters, however, it is the belfef that this country 18 reaching the condition in which England now ts, and will become more and muvre one of the great money centers of the world. In that event, as money accu- mulates, the rate of interest, it is believed, will decline, and it is not impossible that some day 2 per cent money can be had here as well as in London. It is thought, however, that the readi- ness displayed in furnishing money based on real estate in this city, and at low rates of interest, is cnly another evidence of the substantial character of the development of the city and the permanency of values. aS Home and Foreign Missions. About 200 ladies of the varicus Methodist churches of Washingtcn district attended the quarterly meetings of the Woman’s Heme end Foreign Missionary societics which were held yesterday at the rew Methodist Episcopal Church in Kensington. They were welcomed in a speech by the pastor, Rey, T. C. Warner, at 10 a.m., Mrs. 8. Beiler, the president of the foreign society, presiding. The report of the recording secretary, Mrs. L. H. Tilton, was received and adort- ed, as was also that of the corresponding secretary, Mrs. T. H. Martin. Mrs. S. D. La Fetra, treasurer, announced receipts to date for the quart>r, $773.75, with some auxiliaries still to report. Mrs. Beiler, who expects to remove to New York, tendered her resignation. It was accepted, with regret, and Mrs. J.E. Gilbert was unanimously elected to fill her pluce. Resolutions were adopted commend- ing the efficiency and devotion of the re- tiring president. The menvbers were entertained at a luncheon in the town hall by the Kensing- ton ladies. At 1:30 the Home Missionary Society con- vened, Mrs. T. L. Tullock, president. The Scripture lesson was read by Mrs. Frank M. Bristol, and Miss Ella Stinemetz pre- sented the secretary’s report. Mrs. D. B. Street made an eloquent plea for tha work.

Last Two Companies Leave for Fred- ericksburg—€ol.>Pettit to Take Charge of Camp. The last two compariies of the four form- ing the District Battalion in the 4th Regi- ment of United State® Volunteers, one of the immune regiments, left the city this morning at 10:57 o’cloek over the Pennsyl- vania raflroad for Fredericksburg, where they will join Companies A and B, which left here several days ago. Company C, which was first to arrive at the depot, is in command of Captain Longstreet and the men were recruited originally for a Vir- ginia regiment. Two days ago, however, they were transferred to the 4th immune regiment and mustered into. that service. Company D is commanded by Captain Jor- genson and 4s made up in great part of ex- army men,-all having the appearance of experienced men. They look to be hard fighters, too, every one. Captain W. H. Mellach, who was enlisting “2 company finally abandoned it when Captain Long- street's command was ordered into the reg- iment, and the former has joined Captain Jorgenson’s company as first lteutenant. A large crowd gathered at the depot as early as 10 o'clock this morning, waiting for the departure of the soldiers. There were brothers, sisters, mothers and “best girls” in the throng, and many an unwilling tear arose to the eyes of the fair ones when the soldiers finally disappeared through the station gates and were marched to the special cars in waiting for them. The men lingered but a few moments in the area- way and barely had time to bid their loved ones a last good-bye. Many, not yet hav- ing learned the strict duty of the soldier, broke ranks as they marched through, stopping to kiss their mothers and sweet- hearts for perhaps a last time. After yield- ing to the mighty impulse, however. tue men quickly rejoined their. companies and disappeared from view in the maze-of trains in the car shed. Barren of Equipment. The two companies were: entirely barren of equipment, and only three or four uni- forms were noticeable among the-two hun- dred volunteers. It is said the men will be Properly equipped seen after reaching Fred- ericksburg. In spite of the gravity always attending the departure of soldiers for the front, the appearance of some of the men this morning could not fail to excite amuse- ment. Large paper bundies and boxes of all descriptions were carried along, filled with edibles and articles of wearing ap- parel. One soldier carried a box perforated by numerous holes, and in which, it is said, he had a pet rabbit. If history continues to repeat, “Brer Rabbit" will not last’ long as a company mascot, but will soon find his way into the-stewing pan. Col. Pettit, who is to command the 4th Regtment, will leave for Fredericksburg in a few days for the purpose of organizing his regiment. The two remaining bat- talions, to be drawn from Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland, will be mustered in as soon as Capt. Goodwin of the army, the mustering officer-@f this regiment, is able to visit the differen$:potnts of recruitment.

New Jersey Soldier Accused of Pass- ing Fraudulent Checks. Oliver C. Moore, the New Jersey soldier, who came to Washington last week on a visit and was accused of passing a bogus check on Max M. Rich, a clothing dealer, in payment for articles amounting to $19.02, was today arraigned before Judge Kimball on the charge of obtaining the amount of goods named under false pretenses. Moore was held by the court in $3,000 bail for the action of the grand jury. E Attorney Wygant of Camden, N. J., who appeared for Moore, said it was the inten- tion of the defendant to plead guilty when placed on trial in the Criminal Court, in order that he might be sent to the Trenton penitentiary as quickly as possible. Mr. Wygant said further that he would be able to lay before the President evidence that Moore is not of sound mind, and it is hoped to secure for the latter a pardon.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: A “Society for the Suppression of Un- necessary Noises” has been founded in London, the object of which is to find some means by which the sensitive nerves of London dwellers may be relieved of the incessant noises produced by vehicular traffic, church bells, fruit and notion ven- dors, fish mongers, newsboys, brass bands, street organs and pianos, the milkmen, the street sweep, street singers, the whistle of the merry errand boy, as well as that of factories, etc. With these sounds eliminat- ed London would be like a graveyard. As it is evident from the regulation adopt- ¢@d by the Commissioners that the nuisance created by the hucksters who go about the streets selling the refuse from the markets is to be continued, I suggest that it would be a good thing to organize a similar so- ciety for the national capital. W. c. D. June 9, 1898. ASSIGN THEIR REASONS. Text of Report of Commissioners on Pending Bills. In recommending favorable action yes- terday on Senate bill 4062, for the exten- sion of 19th street northwest, and on House bills 10383 and 10399, for the extension of Rhode Island avenue, as published in The Star, the District Commissioners reported to Congress as follows—speaking first of bill 4062: “The amount of ground required for wid- ening the street, as contemplated by the bill, ts 44,380 feet. The ground was condemn- ed recently under the provisions of the high- way extension act, the award of the jury of condemnation being $48,700. On account of the manner in which the benefits were assessed against the adjacent property it was found to be impracticable to take the gtound under said act, and the proceed- ings were stopped. “The street is now opened for a width of fifty feet, and the object of the bill is to widen it to ninety feet. “The widening of the street is desired by a number of citizens because of the fact that it {s not occupied by a street rallwa and forms one of the means of commun! cation from the low ground to the hill with- out traveling upon a street occupied by cars. “In this connection the Commissioners beg leave to suggest that the extension of Wyoming avenue through lots 1, 2 and 3 of block 7 is a desirable feature, and should be embodied in the bill in case it is to re- ceive favorable consideration. The sum of $48,700, awarded as damages by the jury of condemnation before referred to, in- cludes the cost of the land for this exten ston of Wyoming avenue. The Commis- sioners inclose herewith two plats, one showing the widening of 19th street as pro- posed by the bill, and another showing 19th Street widened and the extension of Wyo- ming avenue. “The bill provides that the entire amount to be paid for the land shall be borne by the District of Columbia. The Commis- stoners recommend that if the land is taken it be paid for one-half by the District and the other half by the United States.” As to the extension of Rhode Island ave- nue, the Commissioners say: “Rhode Island avenue is now open from its western end to Le Droit Park and from 4th street northeast to the District line. ‘The portion covered by this bili is the only Part of the entire avenue which it is nec- essary to acquire to open the avenue through subdivided land. As this. portion is over subdivided land, held in small par- cels and by different owners, it is evident that they cannot afford to dedicate, since to do so would amount practically to sur- rendering their property without receiv- ing equivalent return. Under these cir- cumstances it would appear that condem- nation proceedings offer the only means of acquiring the land for the opening of the street, and as it is an exceedingly impor- tant thoroughfare a favorable recommen- dation ts made on the bill. “The amount of land to be taken is 81,440 square feet. The value of the land—esti- mated from recent sales as far as can be aecertained—is about $1 per foot, making the sstimated cost for the necessary land 1, a Original Photographs of Lieut. Richmond P.
