Moore, superintendent of police, one of its most valued friend: who was ever in hearty sympathy e aim and work of the socie se ear was ever open to the cry of . and his ready help ex- tended to our officers and agents when his aid was asked to bring relief to suffering child or animal or to visit punishment upon those inflicting or responsible for such suf- fering. ‘The society, knowing Row largely it is dependent upon those who execute the law for the 's of its work, realizes its great loss in the death of our honored and faithful superintendent of police.” It was ordered that a copy of these re olutions be sent to the family of the de- ceased.

IN MEMORY OF COL, MOORE. Special Meeting of W. L. I. to Arrange for eral. A special meeting of the members of the Washington Light Infantry was held last night at the armory to take suitable action on the death of their late president, Col. William G, Moore. Major Burton R. Ross called the meeting to order, stating the sad circumstances under which the call had been made. He paid a tribute to the memory of Col. Moore, who, he said, bad been prominently connected with the corps for many years, and whose last re- quest, almost, was that he should be Luried under an escort from the organt- zation. Lieutenant A. A, Birney was appointed chairman of a committee to draft suitable resolutions and a committee on floral tribute was also appointed. It was de- cided that as far as possible the corps shall march at the funeral in their white uniforms, those not being fully equipped with this style of dress to form separate companies uniformed in regular army style. The National Guard Brigade Band under the direction of Mr. Donald McLeod will march with the funeral procession. At the grave a saiute of three rounds will be fired over the last resting place of the dead soldier, and taps will be sounded by the bugler: A general invitation will be extended to all ex-members and veterans of the corps to join in this last homage to their dead leader. There will be another meeting of the corps tonight, when the resolutions to be drafted will be adopted and the final arrangements for the military escort made. ———— AMUSEMENTS. COLUMBIA THEATER.—The Columbia Stock Company presented “The Mighty Doliar” last night before a large audience, and as was the case during its week's run scme time ago, the several acts of non- sense pure and simple, greatly pleased all who were present. There is not much of arything and a lot of nothing in “The Mighty Dollar’—es presented at the Co- lumbia—just a conglomeration of funny sit- uations made to order for the style of act- ing “Jimmie” Barrows is guilty of. An of the fun throughout the piece is en when Mr. Slote—Mr. J. Barrows Slote makes a stump speech to his constituents from a barrel. Reaching the highest flights of his oratory, he tumbles through the bead of the hogshead and the curtain falls. A picnic scene ‘in which Mr. Barrows and Mrs. Findlay are simply superb is another of the bright bits of the piece. All the old favorites who were seen in the play before were given their usual hearty welcome by the numerous friends in the audienee. The interest in the performance last night cen- tered in Miss Wilberham, who replaces the deinty little Mayo as “Libby.” Miss Mayo was such a favorite that Miss Wilbe: ham’'s Libby was not appreciated as much as would have been the case under other circumstances. Mr. Ingersoll, Miss Hi lam, Miss Browning, Mr. Mackay and Mr. Lencaster are all seen in their o!d roles, and 2re as good as ever, while Miss M Lean effectively perfcrms the part former- ly taken by Miss West. smeralda” will be the bill at the Co- lumbia tonight, and also at Saturday mati- nee. This piece ts one of the really artistic preductions by the stock company. GLEN ECHO. — The combination of vaudeville and operetta has caught on at Glen E ho. One of the advantages of this, variegated program is the fact that it e ables comers to get just as genuine e! jJoyment out of the performance as those who arrive early, although, of course, they do not see as much of it. | Vaudeville pre- vails up to 9 o'clock, when the principals of the Parry Opera Company, who have be- come favorites during the preceding six weeks of the season, put on a merry mu- sical play lasting about an hour. © Next week “Galatea,” an operatic version of W. S. Gilbert's celebrated comedy of “Pyg- malion and Galatea,” will be given. In this the comedy elements are combined with some very pleasing music, in which such singers and comedians as Misses Al- lene Crater, Viola D'Armon, Chas. Hawley, Tom Daly and Frank Deshon cannot help but appear to advantage. Clivette, the phe- nomenal juggler and shadowgraphist, whose act is one of the most novel and en- tertaining ever seen In Washington, will be retained next week, and reinforced by scme of the latest and best vaudeville per- fcrmers from the roof gardens and music halls of New York. Vaudeville in the woods is evidently one of the winners of the midsummer amusement season. PATRIOTIC MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL. —The grounds at the corner of 26th street and Pennsylvania avenue northwest will be the scene of a patriotic midsummer fes- tival this evening. The ladies of Ue I.e- gion of Loyal Women invite their friends and the general public to attend in honor of our heroes of the war. festival will continue until Friday nigni, inciusive. One night is to be devoted te the District vol- unteers, one night *o the Red Cross at Camp Alger and one nignt to ladies: of the legion. The grounds will be iend- somely decorated, and th re each evening will be opened with a few re- marks by some well-known public sp The legion is a patriotic organization, and all their work is in the line of helping the soldiers and sailors of our repubiic. They deserve a large patronage, for their ob- ject is worthy. There will be music by the band and dan cach evening. ION ROOF GARDEN.—The second week of the high-class vaudeville opened Monday evening at the Union Roof Garden, 36th street between M street and Prospect avenue, and a good-sized audience assem- bled to witness the performance. One thing noticeable the fact that the fair sex was in the majority, and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy the different special- the ties. The bill prepared this week by Man- ager Thomas is even better than that of last week, and is longer. The program s with Luella Miller, in popular songs of the d She has a good voice, and in some respects resembles Lottie Gilson, the vaudeville favorite. Last evening she ap- peared three times in as many different se- lections. Alf Holt, the whistling phenome- non, seemed to a field all by himself, s whistling and imitations were well applauded. His imitation of a dog fight, enting the battles of Manila and San- prought forth a lot of applause. His ty is thoroughly appreciated on ac- count of the excellence of his imitations. Agnes A. Miles, a vocalist of the serio- comic style, rendered a number of good songs, and responded to several encores. She has a good appearance that makes her a sort of favorite. Mr. and Mrs. Mason, comedy sketch artists, presenting “Uncle Rube’s Visit,” made a good nit. There are plenty of bright witticisms in the sketch that are very catchy. Mae Raymond, the operatic vocalist, appeared to advantage in several good songs, a majority of which are comparatively new. She has a good voice, and as a close to the encores renéer- ed a verse of the “Star Spangled Banner” that was well received by the audience. James Richmond Glenroy, comedian, the man with the green gloves, in his mono- logue work, made a decided hit. The Nel- son sisters, in singing and dancing, close the program. hey are clever vocalists and expert dancers, and their turn resulted in several encores. The entire eastern por- tion of the roof of the Union depot is now used for dancing. A large floor has been put In place, and every night dancing, un- der the direction of Prof. Henry Schlosser, will be a feature. An orchestra has been engaged especially for the dance music. No extra charge is made for the privilege, and the dancing continues until midnight. This promises to become a popular part of the evening's entertainment.

T.'U., department of sol- diers, sailors and marines; has become a well-established and: wel-patronized place, lunches to more than one hundred being served daily. The people have been very liberal with their contributions, but as the number of visitors each day increases the needs aré greater. The ladies acknowledge courtesies shown by Mr. Muddiman, Hav- enner’s bakery, Morrison’s Paper Company and the many whose contributions have been given without a hame. Among these are: A gift of $30 from one friend, a flag for the front door, besides contributions in money and eatables. The expressions of gratitude from the boys in blue are very numerous, a letter received from ene, who was discharged on account of illness, is a sample of many. It came from Buffalo, N. ¥., and is, in part, as follows: “I wish to thank the ladies of the W. C. T. U. for the reception I received at their rooms during my stay in Washington. I want to encourage my friends to keep up the work for this cause. I wandered alone through the streets of your great city, without money or friends, when one of your workers spoke to me and so nobly took care of me. God bless you all. Were I there I would give my whole life to this cause. Thousand thanks for kindness re- ceived from you.

Last week this department packed three large boxes with delicacies and necessaries, to be sent to the boys at the front in Cuba. A great number of boxes had been sent to both the navy and army previous to this. Miss L. H. Chase, .the superintendent of this work, received a letter from a boy on the U. 8. Marblehead, in Guantanamo Bay. It reads as follows: “Having received one of the numerous articles you have sent to the crew of this vessel I gladly extend my thanks to you and your society for their remembrance of the men who are now fighting for their country, and I am sure you are doing as much duty to God and your country as we are, only in another way. Such tokens as these are greatly appreciated by all the men. To show my appreciation of your Kindness I am sending herewith a piece of the cable which I helped to cut at Cien- fuegos, Cuba, May 11, 1898, when one of cur men was killed and a number wound- ed.

The home and tomb of Washington, with its vast store of interesting relics and magnificent grounds, deserves a visit from every true American. A very delightful route to Mount Vernon is that on the steamer Macalester, which leaves 7th street wharf every week day at 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Phe sail cn the Poto- mac gives visitors an opportunity to see Alexandria, Fort Foote, Point Sheridan, Fort Washington and other points of more than ordinary interest. Admission tickets te Mount Vernon are sold by this company, permission having been granted by the La- dies’ Mount Vernon Association. Marshall Hall, just across the river from Mount Ver- non, is another place which deserves a visit from all delegates. It is a beautiful resort at which to spend the day, and all who go are sure to have a very pleasant time. All kinds of amusements will be found there, and Prof. Schroeder's band will be gn hand to play on the steamer and also furnish the music for dancing at the hall. Table d’hote dinners, including Marshall Halt clam chowder, are served on the ar- rival of the boat. Steamer Charles Mac- alester leaves at 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Mount Vernon and Arlington should be visited by every member of the National Educational Association and their friends. Both are beautiful places that teem with historical interest as well as attractive sur- roundings. One of the pleasantest und quickest routes is via the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon electric rail- road. Trains leave the heart o2 the city, 13% street and Pennsylvania avenue, for Mount Vernon hourly from 10 a.ta. until 3 p.m., and for Arlington and Alexandria from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. The scenery, by this route, is very attractive to the eye, while the trains are clean, comfortable and ample enough to carry afl that take in the trip, without the anmoyance of being crowded. —_._——_ BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL, Proceedings of the Weekly Meeting Held Last; Evening.

W. Howard Keyworth, the proprietor of the Pan-Electric House in Bladensburg, who was shot by Guy Barron the afternoon of July 6, and whose serious condition was mentioned in The Evening Star of yester- day, died last night at 10:05 o’clock from the effects of the wound. From the first the attendant physicians had httls hopes of the injured man’s recovery, but it was be- lieved if he could hold out for a few days he would ,yhave a fighting chance for his life. Monday evening there was a chang3 for the worse, and ever since the patient kad been gradually sinking. Yesterday Dr. Ford Thompson of Washington was called into consultation, but it was manifest that the case was beyond medical skill. Howard Keyworth, or “Dumps,” as he Was called, spent all his life in Washington or this vicinity. He was widely known and had a large circle of friends. H2 was the son of the late John H. Keyworth, one of the oldest and best known residents of Washington, and a grandson of John T. Towers, a former mayor of Washington. For a long while young Keyworth was employed at his father’s store, corner of 9th and D str2ets northwest, and after the latter’s death he carried on the busi- ness for his mother. About six months ago he succeeded George W. Coldenstroth in the management of the Pan-Electric House in Bladensburg, end moved to that village, where he has since resided. _ The difficulty in which the fatal wound Was received took place in the bar room of the hotel. Some fifteen or twenty min- utes previously Barron and Keyworth had qvarreled over a game of cards, and Key- worth had order:d Barron from the prem- ises. The latter departed, but returned later, and while Keyworth was behind the bar, rolling a cigarette, it is alleged, Bar- ron fired the fatal shot. Tha bullet passed through Keyworth’s body, penetrating the right lung and falling upon the floor, but whether it entered the breast and made its exit just abov> the shoulder blad>, cor vice verea, is a question which will be of vital importance in the trial that will follow. A jury was summoned this morning. It was composed of Arthur Carr, foreman; Wm. P. Magruder, John F. Hickey, Henry Constantins, Nathan R. Summers, Milton J. Payne, J. W. Kelly, L. T. ‘Sutton, Wm. Feulk, Moses Smith, L. A. Wissman and Charles A. Mannin; The jury repaired to Bladensburg at 9 o'clock and viewed the remains. An adjournment was taken until this afternoon at 5 o’elcok, when the in- quest will ba held. Sheriff BR. F. Robey was notified by telegraph this morning to bring Barron, the man eccused of the shooting, from Marlboro’ so that he may be present at the inquest. No funeral arrangements have yet been made, but the interment will be at the Congressional cemetery, Washington. The Geceased was thirty-one years of age. He leaves a widow, the sister of George W. Coldenstroth, and one caild about four years of age. His brother, Richard Key- eee is employed in tke Washington gas works, : =e ALLEGED TO BE DESERTERS. Soldiers From Camp Alger Arrested at Hyattsville. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., July 13, 1898.

Constable Vincent receiv- ed word early in the morning from Detec- tive Browning of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad service to look out for the men, who had attempted to board a train in Washington. They were found on a freight train just above the crossing. Naughton resisted arrest, and the constable was ob- liged to draw his revolver and to call for several citizens to assist him. When brought before the magistrate the men de- nied they were deserters, but admitted that they were not upon furlough. They were both partially under the influence of liquor. Kelley said he had a brother, who was killed in the battle of Santiago. He ex- hibited a picture of a handsome young fel- low, wearing the United States uniform. Both men were locked up until Col. Cava- naugh of the 7th Illinois Regiment could be heard from. A meeting of Ruth Chapter, No. 7, Order of Eastern Star, was held last evening at the Masonic Hall. A number of candidates ved the degree, the following officers officiating: Mrs. H. B. Major, worthy ma- tron; Mrs. Laura V. Cooke, associate ma- tron; Mrs. M. F.

Suspect at Hyattsville Who Closely Resembled the Murderer. Special Correspondence of The Fvening Star. HYATTSVILEE, Md., July 13, 1898. The suspect who was arrested here yes- terday is not Frank Funk, the murderer of William Brooks. Such is the opinion of Detective Phillips, who came from Washington yesterday afternoon in re- sponse to notice of the arrest. So closely did the suspect answer Funk's description that the detective was fully half an hour making up his mind to reiease him. His clothing, hat and shoes were exactly sim- ilar _to those alleged to have been worn by Funk, and his general aprearance tal- lied with that of the fugitive. Ho was about the same build and same weight, but Was probably an inch shorter than Funk. He had no mole, however, upon his cheek, but, singularly enough, there was a fresh scar, which for a time led to the belief that a mole might have been removed. The great point of difference between the two men was that the suspect's arms were white and smooth as a woman's and en- tirely void of tattoo marks in India ink. The suspect’s fears were evidently re- moved when the officer departed. He talk- ed quite freely, but in an incoherent strain. He said his name was William Raymond and that he worked for a butcher named Jacob Schafer, whose place of business is on Lexington street between Pacca end Green streets, Baltimore. His mind was evidently affected, for he could give no ac- count as to when he left Baltimore or how he reached this pla In fact, he seemed to think he was in the suburbs of Baltimore city, and could not be per- suaded that he was thirty-five miles away. Raymond was locked up and Jacob Schafer, the man mentioned as his employer, vas notified. Royal is a pure cream of tar- tar baking powder; healthful, of highest leavening power. Its use is recommended by physi- cians and health officials as a safeguard against alum and other deleterious substances found in the low grade powders. Congress has passed laws for the prevention of adulteration of food in the District of Colum- bia, under which alum is de- clared to be a substance known to produce a poisonous effect, whose presence in food is harm- ful, and the manufacture and sale of bread containing it is made a misdemeanor. Do the people who are selling or using alum sbaking powders appreciate the fact that they are violating the criminal laws as well as the laws of health? AT CHEVY CHASE INN.

Appeal to Interstate Commerce Com- mission for Intervention. A rate war has been in progress for sev- eral months past, as heretofore stated in The Ster, between the Canadian Pacific Railway Company on the one side and the American trunk lines on the other, ‘and yesterday an effort was made by a commit- tee of representative railroad men to get the interstate commerce commission to in- terfere in the matter. The delegation was composed of D. B. Caldwell, chairman of the Western Passenger Association; P. S. Eustis, general passenger agent, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railway; J. Sebas- tian, general passenger agent, Chicago, Rock [sland and Pacific railway, and George H. Heafford, general passenger agent, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway. The contest began over the cutting of emigrant rates by the Canadian Pacific, and finally extended to all lines of traffic. It is stated that the war has reached a ruinous stage for all parties concerned, and while it embraces rates from the At= lantic to the Pacific coasts, the tines west ot Chicago are most largely affected. The representatives of the American lines did not file any petition or complaint, but explained to the commission the situation. The commission, it was stated, has no authority in the matter except to order an investigation of the competition, which has reached grave proportions, or pernaps be- come a mediator between the rival com- penies for a settlement. The Canadian Pacific Company, by its general passenger traffic manager, D. McNichol, and Attorney A. C. Raymond, also conferred with the cecmmission later, and gave their view of the rate war. There were also conferences between Mr. Caldwell and Mr. McNichol, but so far nothing like an understanding has been reached. ee $1.25 To Baltimore and Retarn $1.25 via Pennsylvania Railroad.
