Permission Given Mrs. Druce, Who Makes Sensationai Charges. In the high court of justice at London yesterday Sir Francis Henry Jeune, presi- dent, granted the application of Mrs. Anna Maria D n order empowering her to open the #1 and inspect the coffin which {fs alleged to contain the remains of the man buried as Thomas Charles Druce, who, the applicant asserts, was in fact and in law the fifth Duke of Portland. During the evidence Mrs. Hamilton, one of the s, adhered firmly to the statement that she had seen and spoken to 5 herd Charles Druce after his alleged death. Mrs. Druce, the applicant, claims that her father-in-law’s alleged death and burial under the name of Druce were deceptions, nd that he finally lived and died, after having been under the care of Dr. Forbes Winslow in a lunatic asylum, as Dr. Har- ner. Her son, for whom the claim is made, and who, she asserts, is the real Duke of Portland, is a domestic servant. H32 was last heard of in Australia, DAVID B. HILL IN COURT.

FREDERICK, Md., August 9—Such an event as the unveiling of a magnificent statue of Francis Scott Key doesn’t often stir'the old town of Frederick, where every inhabitant is today tingling with pride be- cause this community can claim as their own the man who paid such a poetic tribute to his country’s flag as has seldom been accorded a national emblem. Comment is made on the curious coin- cidence that the monument to Key is being unveiled at a time which marks the tri- umph of the star spangled banner over the flag of Spain. Since Key jotted down those verses on the back of an envelope, as he saw his beloved flag still floating over Fort McHenry. after a night of bombardment, no time has more fully realized those patriotic sentiments than the present: “O thus be it when freemen shall stand Between their beloved bomes and the war's desolation; Blest_with victory and peace, may the beaven- rescued land Praise the er that hath made and preserved as # natig Then conquer we must when onr cause It fs just, And this be our moti, in God is our trust; And the Star Spangled Benner ip triumph sball wave rer the and of the free and the home of the brave. Frederick in Gala Dress. The town of Frederick is wearing a gala dress for this memorable oceasion. ‘The star spangled banner is everywhere. It or- naments public buildings and private houses alike. Children carry flags through the streets and the crowds of people who have been pouring into the town during the morning from all parts of Maryland buy flags to carry home, so that their families may have the real thing to look at when they join in singing the verses that have made their author famous. The pouring raft of last night was a sore trial to the people here, who have theught of nothing but the unveiling for months and have supposed as a matter of course the day would be fine for that oc- casion, but they awoke with renewed hopes to see a clear sky, so that they and the thousands of visitors could assemble about the handsome monument and see it urcovered for the first time to the view of the world. 3 The Procession. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the parade preceding the ceremonies was begun, the line of march leading through the princi- pal streets of the town. The line was headed by the chief marshal and his twen- ty-five aids, a platoon of mounted police officers clearing the way through the crowded streets. The military and civic organizations that followed made a splen- did display. In the line was the 6th United Artillery Band, and as the parade advanced down the main street of the town, where sidewalks were packed with humanity and every wit.dow of the build- ings lining either side of the thorough- fare was filled with people, the strains of the “Star Spangled Banner” were played, giving rise to such a demonstration that none who was there will ever forget it. Members of the Key Monument Associa- tion, Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journel and the ora tor of the day; Mrs. Donald McLean, w! was to deliver an address, and other dis- tinguished guests were in carriages near the head of the line. The second division was composed of mili- tary organizations, the post of honor being given the Grand Army of the Republic. They were followed by several companies of the 4th Regiment and National Guard of Baltimore, under the command of Col. Wil- lard Howard. The companies of the 4th Regiment were accompanied by their band, Sivic organizations composed the third division, There were the Senior and Junior orders of United American Mechanics and others. rhe fire department of Frederick and visiting fire departments made up the fourth division. Knights of Pythias from Washington made a fine display in the line. At Mt. Olivet Cemetery. As the parade left the streets of the town and made its way toward Mt. Olivet cemetery thousands of people who had re- viewed it started to get places where they might witness the remainder of the cere- monies. They went in carriages and on foot, so that shortly after the military and civic organizations had been stationed about the monument there was an assem- blage of several thousand people there eager to witness the proceedings. The site of the Key monument afforded an excellent view of it from both approaches, and from all parts of the extensive grounds about it. Not only is the monument located where it makes a conspicugus landmark, but a mag- nificent landscape is Jaid before it in every direction. Key's statue faces the Linganore hills to the east. Frgm it can be had a splendid view of the Monocacy valley, while the spurs of the Sugep, Loaf mountains rise majestically from_the south. The Catoctin range of the Blue Ridge loom up in the far distance. No more inspiring view could be desired by any poet than that which greets the eye from every direction at the site of the Key monument. Stands had been erécted about the monu- ment with a capacity sufficient to accom- modate 700 or 800 people, but the thous- ands wre In the field. A small stage was plaeed so that the thousands could get a view of it without difficulty, and from this elevation Colonel Henry Watter- son, editor of the Louisville Courier Jour- nal, the orator of the,day, and Mrs. Donald McLean of New York delivered their ad- dresses. ‘The Monument a Work of Art. ‘The Key monument is a fine work of art, by Alexander Doyle, the sculptor, of New York. It represents the poet pointing to that star spangled banner with one hand, while he waves his hat in the other. On the top of the pedestal are the words, which fit the pose of the statue, “Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light?” The statue is mounted on a shaft, at the base of which are three figures, the cen- ter being a representation of Liberty nold- ing a furied flag. The design is simple and effective. SM The Program of Ceremonies. The program of the ceremonies attend- ing the unveiling of the statue was- begun shortly after 3:30 o'clock by the Gth Ar- tillery United States Band, under the lead- Fcmiisdt.

Johnson, taster of ceremonies, he was given a splendid reception, and throughout his mag- nificent cratien storms of applause swept over acres of humanity gathered about the monument. He said in part: “Since the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ was written nearly a century has come and acne. The drums and tramplings of more than half its years have passed over the grave of Francis Scott Key. Here at last he rests forever. Here at last his tomb is fitly made. When his eyes closed upon the scenes of this life their last gaze be- held the ensign of the republic, ‘full high advanced, its arms and trophies streaming in their original luster, not a stripe erased or polluted por a single star obscured.’ If happily they were spared the speetacle of a severed union, and ‘a land rent by civil feud and drenched in fraternal blood’ it may be that somewhere beyond the stars his gentle spirit now looks down upon a netion awakened from its sleep of -death and restored to its greater and its better self, and known and honored, as never be- fere throughout the world. Whilst Key lived there was but a single paramount is- sue, about which all other issues circled, the Constitution and the Union. The prob- lems of the Constitution and the Union solved, the past secure, turn we to the future; no longer a huddle of petty sov- ereignties, held together by a rope of san no longer a body of mercenary shopkeep- ers worshiping rather the brand upon the dollar than the eagle on the shield; no longer a brood of provincial laggards, hanging with bated breath upon the move- ments of mankind, afraid to trust them- selves away from home, or to put their principles to tae test of progress and of s; but a nation, and a leader of na- world power which-durst face im- mM upon its own ground with repub- licanism and with it dispute the future of ization. ‘It is the will of God; Jet not man gainsay. Let not man gainsay until the word of God has been curried to the furthermost ends of the earth; not until freedom ts the heritage of all His creatures; not until the are blessings which He has given us shared by His people in all lands; til Latin licentiousness fostered } ern wealth and culture and ari has been expiated by fire, and Latin corruption and cruelty have disappeared from the govern- ment of men; not until that soder-suited Anglo-Saxon, which, born at Runnymede, was to end neither at Yorktown nor at Appomattox, has made, at one and the same time, another map of Christendom, and a new race of Christians and yeomen, equally soldiers of the sword and of the ercss, even in Africa and Asia, as we have made them here in America, Thus, and thus alone, and wherever the winds of hea- ven blow, shall fly the spirit if not the actuality of the blessed symbol we have come here this day to glorify; ashamed of nothing that God has sent, ready for every- thing that God may send! “It was not a singer of the fireside, but a hearthless wanderer who put in all hearts the Anglo-Saxon’s simple ‘Home, Sweet Heme.’ It was a poet, not a warrior, who gave to our Union the Anglo-American’s homage to his flag. Even as the Prince of Peace, who came to bring eternal life, was the Son of God, were these His ministering angels; and, as each of us, upon his knees, serds up a prayer to heaven for ‘Home, Sweet Home,’ may he aiso murmur, and teach his children to lisp the sublime re- frain of Key's immortal anthem: “And the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!” Mra. McLean’s Addre: Mrs. Donald McLean, daughter of the late Judge John Ritchie of Frederick, and regent of the New York Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, de- livered a short address. In a vivid manner she recounted scenes of the furious battles about Santiago and referred to the singing by the soldiers there of the “Star Spangled sanner’”’ and the inspiration for deeds of valor it gave the men, concluding with a splendid tribute to the people whose genius has made that scene on the battlefield pos- sible. The weather was threatening during the forenoon, but as the time for the parade approached it began to clear, so there was practically no interference with the pro- ceedings. The work of preparing for the unveiling ceremonies has béen very great. The as- scciation, through its officers and commit- tees, has been called upon to do laborious work, which has been repaid by the com- 1 success of their arrangements. It involved the collection of $10,090, and attention to a thousand details. The legis- jature of Maryland appropriated $5,000 for the purpose, the balance being raised by popular subscription.

Sek abe ere CAPT. BOOTH HERE. Yellow Fever Expert Returns From Porto Rico. Capt. A. R. Booth of Shreveport, La., acting assistant surgéon, medical depart- ment, United States army, who has just arrived from Ponce, is stopping at the Hotel Raleigh. Upon the breaking out of yellow fever at Santiago Capt. Booth, who is a yellow fever capert, and was then in the. marine hospital service, was traas- ferred to the volunteer service and ordered to Santiago to assist in caring for the sick American soldiers. . Upon the arrival off Santiago July 19 of the transport Nueces, on which Capt. Booth sailed, it was found that an Amer- ican transport had run aground in such a way as to completely obstruct the channel. Orders were then received by the officer in charge of the Nueces to report to Gen. Miles at Guantanamo bay, fifty miles west, which was done. After remaining there for several days the transport was order- ed, July 22, to at Port Guanica, which place was reached the 25th.

Lawson, district master workman, and Stephen A. Clements, district recording secretary, as stated in The Star of yesterday, has entered sult against Henry A. Hicks, general master workman; I. D. Chamberlain, general wor- thy foreman; John W. Hays, general sec- retary-treasurer, and Henry Bostock, J. 8. Fitzpatrick and Andrew D. Best, executive beard of the Knights of Labor of North America, seeking to restrain the revocation of the charter of the complainant organiza- tion. The bill, filed by Ralston & Siddons, recites the history of the local labor trou- bles, telling of the receipt of word from the general assembly that the charter of Dis- trict Assembly No. 66 had been revoked, and that Mr. Best, one of the defendants, is seeking to reorganize the local body of knights. It is alleged that the general officers are sezking to detach the twenty local assem- blies under the protection of District sembly 68, and that such action would seri- ously affect 1,500 workmen, who would be unable to obtain empleyment on account of not being in good standing with their or- genization. The revocaticn of the charter Was without caus:, it is alleged, and the ac- ticn was taken without giving the district arsembly a chance to answer any charges that may have been brought against it. ‘The complainants ask that an injunction be issued enjoining the general officers from revoking the charter, from establishing a new assembly, endeavoring to secure the moneys in possession of the district assem- bly and also from refusing to recognize the organization and its delegat2 to the general assembly. Justice Cole granted a temporary re- straining order and set the case for a heare ing August 12. ——— SHOT BY MISTAKE. Mrs. Garland Sellers Seriously Wounded by Her Husband. Mrs. Garland Sellers, a resident of Ross- lyn, Va., was shot last evening shortly after 11 o'clock by her husband, who mis- tock her for a burglar, receiving serious though not necessarily fatal wounds. The husband discovered the mistake almost im- mediately after the shooting, and withgut less of time the unfortunate woman was taken to the Emergency Hoepital, where she received prompt attention. Only two shots were fired, and both took effect. One of the bullets entered the arm, while the other lodged in the thigh. The bullet in the arm was removed last evening at the hospital. Up to noon today the bullet in the lower limb had not been located. The woman is the wife of Garland Sel- lers, an employe of Parker, Bridget & Co., of this city, and a son of ‘Squire V. W. Sellers of Rosslyn. On account of the dep- redations of robbers in the neighborhood, the home was prepared to give all marau- ders a warm reception. About 11 o'clock the wife got out of bed and went into the yard without awakening her husband. He heard ber return, but did not know who it was. Thinking a burglar was in the place he’ secureti his revolver, and creeping out to the head of the steps, saw the figure ascending the stairway. He spoke quickly and sharply to the advancing figure, and receiving no reply, fired twice in rapid suc- cession. Tie woman was too frightened at the challenge of her husband to respond. By the time the second shot had been fired she had reached the head of the stairs and fell into the arms of her husband. Reailz- ing his mistake, and fearing that his wife had been killed, he calied for assistance. His father, who lives near by, was one of the first to respond. Finding that life was not extinct, a wagon was secured and the injured woman taken to the hospital. —_———-— Hand Badly Hurt.
