Archibald Taylor, son of Dr. ‘Thomas Tayior, late microscopist of the Department of Agriculture, died a little before 7 a.m. yesterday at his father’s resi- dence, 238 Massachusetts avenue north- east. He had for neariy four years been incapacitated for bodiiy activity, as the result of partial paralysis induced by an injury to the spine, and for the last three years had been near.y helpess, though mentally alert and vigorous to the end. The immediate cause of his death was acute dysentery. in the absence of Dr. Lovejoy, the tamily physician, who was cut of the city, he was attended in his last illness by Dr. Ober, one of his former class- mates at the medical coliege. Dr. Taylor was a graduace of the medi- cal department of Georgetown University. For several years he was a member of the medical staff of the Emergency Hos- pital, and during a great part of that time was the resident physician of that institu- tion. He was one of the founders of the Eastern Dispensary, on Capitol Hill, of which he was for some time secretary, and also a member of its medical staff. In 1893-04 he was physician in charge of the St. Joseph Creighton Memorial Hospital at Omaha, Neb., and it was while there that his health finally gave way. He was a man of strong character, hon- est and straightforward and of kindly dis- position, and he leaves a large circle of warmly attached friends, among whom may be reckoned many on whom he had attended in his professional capacity, + Week-End B. and 0. §. sions, Beginning June 24, to Atlantic City, C: May, Sea Isle City and Ocean City, N..

The local executive committee having in charge the arrangements for the approach- ing annual convention of the National Edu- cational Association will hold a meeting at the Columbian University tomorrow after- noon at 4:15 o'clock. Dr. B. L. Whitman will return to Washington tonight and will preside. It is expected that many interest- ing reports will be received *rom the va- { Mrs. Spencer. rious subcommittees, and therefore it is regarded as vitally necessary for all the members to be in attendance. The report of Chairman Raymond A. Pearson of the committee on public com- fort and hotels will be especially impor- tant, as it will recite the plans adopted for taking care of the thousands of convention visite and making them comfortable. Fack cay shows that the attendance will be iarger than expected, proof of this be- ios given in the unusual number of appli- caticns for rooms and board during the convention. Persons having such accommodations are earnestly requested to send all informa- tion pertaining to them to the headquarters vf the committee at the board of trade rooms, Ames building, 1410 G street north- West. Mr. Pearson's committee numbers about 400 members, who will be assigned to the duty ef receiving visitors and direct- ing them to their stopping places. To Complete Arrangements. The final arrangements for the conven- tion will be completed at tomorrow's meect- ing of the executive committee, and a re- port from Mrs. Sara A. Speneer, chairman of the committee on books and school ap- pliances, will be a feature. The other members of this committee are Charles Lyman, 8. W. Woodward, Brainard H. Warner and Henry Wells. Eyer since the decision was reached to hold the convention in Washington Mrs. Spencer has been indefatigable in her ef- forts to assure Its success, and has co-oper- ated in all directions with those having the preliminary work in charge. This activity is but natural, however,when it is known that to Mrs.Spencer Js very largely due the credit for bringing the convention to Washing- ton this year. Long before the convention of last year she began agitating the ques- tion of having it come here in 1898, and early in the present year she renewed her energies in the same applaudable direction. The result was the movement to secure the convention which eventuated in suc- cess. The exhibit of books and school appli- ances, of which Mrs. Spencer's committee has control, will be held in the new Hall of the Ancients, just completed, on the old rink site on New York avenue, and it will be one of the most attractive and instruct- ive features of the convention. > FOURTH OF JULY EXCURSIONS.

SOLDIERS IN POLICE COURT. Incur Penalty for Offense Against the District Laws. - George Jones, a member of the 22d Ken- tucky Regiment, stationed at Camp Alger, was today fined $50 with the alternatiye of 180 days in jail, by Judge Kimball, for car- rying a concealed weapon—ae pistol. He ad- mitted his guilt. Jones and two other soldiers came to the city yesterday afternoon, and, after drink- ing heavily, got to skylarking on Pennsyl- vania avenue. In front of the store of Mr. J. F. Oyster, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street northwest, they be gan jeert at the’driver of Mr. Oyster’s wagon. When the driver protested, Jones ‘drew a revolver and fired at him, the ball narrowly missing him, and: imbedding it- self in the door of Mr. Oyster's store. »« Jones was immediately arrested by Off- cer Goss, but he resisted. It appeared to the policeman that Jones intended to shoot him, when Officer Sullivan reached the scene and took the weapon away from him. The party then started for the first precinct station, but on the way Jones be- came so disorderly that it became neces- sary, in the judgment of a policeman, to hit him over the head. Jones’ captain was in court when the case was heard, and asked permission of Judge Kimball to take charge of Jones and punish him at camp, but the latter declined to permit this, saying it would be necessa- ry to punish Jones by the imposition of a fine. Judge Kimball explained to the cap- tain that Jones’ offense grew out of the practice of soldiers bringing their pistols to the city, and he requested the officer to ask, through the proper channel, that the commanding general at Camp Alger will issue such an order as will put a stop to this practice. Louis Benjamin of the 15th Pennsylvania Regiment pleaded guilty of a similar of- Tense, and was given a similar sentence. ——— ee THE STAMP TAX.

Confederate Battle Flags. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I do not know where the writer of the ar- ticle in Saturday's Star obtained his in- formation as to the semtiment of the mem- vel of the Confederate Veterans’ Associ: tioh of this city in regard to the captured southern tle flags, but as a member of that association will you permit me ta say that the writer of that articles scarcely un- derstands the position of the ex-confederate soldiers on this subject. Tne men who, with fortitude sustained by the loftiest patriotism, suffered, fought and bled under these battle flags, who fellowed them for four long years on many a weary march, often barefooted, ragged and hungry, or saw them waving amid the smoke and carnage of battle, regard these flags “furled forever,” because the causes which gave these flags an existence nave passed away with the march of time. New aspira- tions have taken the place of those to realize which the people of the south, more than a third of a century ago, with hearts and souls overflowing’ with love of coun- try, staked and lost everything but honor. And now, today, none more than the ex- confederate rejoices over a reunited people. The spirit of the age and hour is eminently his. Why? Because 98 per cent of them trace their ancestry directly back to the revolutionary fathers. As a class they are today the purest-blooded and purest-minded Americans, who recognize the stars and stripes as the flag of their country. As to the battle flags—why should a brave soldier ask for, or even suggest, the return of his flag legitimately lost in honorable defeat? For those of these flags which were cap- tured upon the battlefield when opposing lines were arrayed against each other he knows that full as many, if not more, of the other side were taken as were lost by his own side. Those which were quietly surrendered with the final “stacking of arms” on the fall of the confederacy he knows were simply yielded to the force of overwhelming numbers. While he is proud of their history, he recognizes that the for- tunes of war entitle those who have them to keep them as long as they want them, and to claim all the credit they are entitled to from their possession. So, let it be un- derstood that the confederate soldier, so far from being a supplicant in this matter, is not even suggesting a return of these flags. This is the sentiment, I feel sure, of ninety-nine ex-confederates in every hundred. Whoever started the idea of re- turning these flags got not his promptings from the men who fought under them, and if Congress shall ever pass an act providing for their return no member of Congress who was a confederate soldier should vote in favor of its passage. He need not vote against it, but good taste will suggest that he decline to vote at all. Lastly, Congress should not pass any such act until request- ed so to do by that representative associa- tion of the real soldiers of the north during the civil war. I mean the Union Veteran League. That association constitutes or represents the men who captured these flags, and, therefore, are the men who should have the first say about them. The ex-confederate does not say that he would refuse to recognize in such an act that spirit of chivalry which, as a thoroughbred American soldier, he could not but admire; but the same spirit impels him to say that he does not desire and would not appre- ciate their return by men who had no hand in captaring them as long as there survives any of the men who did and who, or a large majority of whom, object to it.

CHEM. CORP., » Boston. 9. Ai ci oe to Produce Hair,” mailed Ametantly relieved COMMISSIONERS’ APPOINTMENTS. Mr. H, P. Darneilie Formally Made the District Disbursing Officer. Mr. Hopewell H. Darnsille, who has filled for some time the position of District dis- bursing officer, although in law such an office was not known, was today formally appointed District disbursing officer by the Commissioners, the new District appropria- tion bill making provision for such an offi- cer at an annual salary of $2,500. Mr. Dar- neille’s appointment was recently predict? by The Star, and was naturally expected in view of the very efficient manner in which he discharged similar duties in the past. By his appcintment the Commission- ers will be relieved of the task of signing every month hundreds of checks, a task which greatly interfered with the perform- ance of their more important duties and nzcessarily occupied much of their time. The new District appropriation bill pro- vides, among other things, for the appolnt- ment of three telephone operators in the police department, each at an . annual salary of $600, and the Commissioners to- day arpointed W. H. Ri: itt, Henry R. Ashby and Charles A. Evans to the three positions. Carlton E. Moss was appointed to succeed Rabbitt, at $360 a year, as ele- Vator operator, and Louis C. Wiison, mes- senger, was transferred to the position of messenger clerk, at $600 a year. Robert 1. Miller and Mervin E. Pindar were xp- pointed laborers in the police department at $480 a year. ———— HELD FOR GRAND JURY. Frank Foxwell Accused of Tricking a Diamend Broker. Frank Foxwell, who was arrested Tues- @ay evening by Detectives Helan and Kil- mertin on the charge of stealing $300 worth of diamonds January 6 last from Abraham Samaha, was today held for the grand jury ty Judge Kimball. Mr. Samaha, who is a diamond broker, said Foxwell called at his place of business the day above mentioned, and, giving his name as Dr. Davis, said he wanted to get some diamonds to present to his sick wife. After considerable talk Mr. Samaha packed the diamonds in a box furnished by the prisoner. The latter took the box and stepped aside, but almost immediately re- turned to where Mr. Samaha was standing and handel him what seemed to be the same xs that given him by the jewelr, say- ing he would prefer that Mr. Sar monds to “Mr: s” E Samaha took the jewels to an ven by Foxwell on Connecticut av nue, and upon opening the box found that it contained nothing but brown paper and a cartridge. Mr. Samaha at once reported the matter to Inspector Mattingly, and De- tectives Helan and Kilmartin were as- signed to the case. By this time, however, Fcxweill left the city, and he did not re- turn until Tuesday, when he was taken into custody. ——— $1.25 Yo Baltimore vin Pennsyl- $1.25 Vania Railroad.
