National Veteran Club,

At meeting of the National Veteran Club
held last evening, Col. l. S. Tichenor in the
chair, and Major A. II. G. Richardson, secre-
tary, called to consider the question of attend
ing the convention of soldiers and sailors at
indianapolis, on the Goth and 21st instant, it
was
RESOLVED, That in view of the fact that the
reduced rates of transportation would not
cover the October election, it was found mex
pedient for the club to attend the convention
in body, but that they be represented by a
delegf tion, and that an invitation be extended
to all Republican organizations in the District
to send delegations of soldiers to accompany
the members of the club.
All those who intend going to the conven-
ton are invited 70 meet at the rooms of the
club this evening at 7:30, sharp, TO organize
the delegation.
The route decided on will be by the Penn
sylvania Central railroad via Harrisburg,
Pittsburg and Columbus. The uniform hat
can be procured of Willett & Ruof, on Penn
sylvania avenue, near Ninth street. The
members who have not received orders can
obtain them by applying to the secretary this
evening. The delegation will leave at 6 O'Clock
Tuesday morning.

Policy in the PoIica Court.

In the Police Court yesterday morning John
Mcfarland, alias McIlhany, was arraigned
charged with keeping place where lottery
tickets are sold, contrary to the statutes
made and provided, and he pleaded not guilty.
Polly Carter, poor looking colored woman,
testified that defendant keeps shop at the
corner of and Water streets southwest,
where he sells policy, and has done so for
about year. She goes there almost every
day; he takes the money from her and she
takes his tickets, but does not know how it is
done. He gives her a piece of paper with
numbers on it. Sometimes he pays her fifty
or seventy-five cents, aud sometimes she wins
aud sometimes mol; she has won as high as
from 81 to So, and sometimes nothing
She did not know when she won anything and
when she did not, but took his word for it, as
she could not read.
Defendant had 10 counsel, and here he
asked permission to say that he kept no lot
try tickets for sale; he was a policy writer
merely.
VIM. Burkert, colored, testified that de-
icndant keeps regular policy office. The
custom is to pay mouey on certain numbers.
If he w;rs he gets more than he pays in; if
not he loses what he pays in. Defendant here
denied that he sells lottery tickets, but was
policy wIi er. Did not know that It was un-
lawful.
The Court said he was under the impression
that this is a game of chance and was a
gambling game as well as any other game. 1t
has all the car marks of lottery, and would
be so construed by the court. The lowest
penalty was 500 fine and thirty days in jail,
which penalty was imposed. The accused
took an appeal.

Caution Against limitations.

The proprietors of Beuson's Capcine Porous
Pastors have found it necessary to warn the
public against bogus articles that are offered
them, under the name eff "Capsicin' or "Cap-
sicum," as being the same as "Capcine;" the
facts are that they are totally unlike the gen.
uine in their effect or composition, and such
limitations are calculated to injure the excel
lent remedial qualities of Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters. The unparalleled success of
this famous and vigorous medical combina-
tion has stimulated INSCRIPTIONS individuals
to Issue articles under the above similar sound
ing words. To further protect the consumer,
we have cut the word "Capcine" in each
plaster. Their powerful vegetable properties
afford instant relief, and insure quicker cure
than any known medicine. They contain no
metallic or mineral poisons, and are superior
in their effects to electricity, and more certain.
Price, 25 cents.

Ocular Demonstration.

That there is nothing more deceptive than
ocular demonstration was fully proven by
Wizard Hermann last night. In the exposure
OF his cabinet invention he said he did not wish
to interfere with the belief of any one in spir-
itualism, but just to show by an invention of
his own how easy thing twas to be deceived.
He proceeded to show his auditors that they
had seen what they had seen truly enough,
but that they had let their imaginations run riot
into strange fields to which they had not been
INVITED. The cabinet seance is an interesting
and attractive performance, and will be again
represented this afternoon at the matinee, and
this evening at the farewell Soiree, followed in
each instance by an exposure of the secret
which explains the deception.

ner of Sixth street and Virginia avenue south.
west. Deacon Joseph Alexander conducted
the opening of the meeting.
The moderator, Rev. Mr.. j. A. Scott, stated

preaching sermon from I. Corinthians, xiii,
18th and 18th verses, "Finslly, my brethren,
farewell" &C., dwelling particularly on the
duties of ministers and people.
Rev. Henry Scott offered a resolution that
as the First Baptist church had opened its
doors TO the association and cordially and or
derly EN- ertained them, and as the choir has
attended the sessions daily with such timely
and appropriate music, they now tender the
church their heartfelt thanks and prayerfully
bid them Gcd speed, which was adopted.
A numter of ministers spoke approyingly of
Mr.. Gibbons sermon, which was exactly to
the point, aud it was stated that the success
of Mr.. Gibbons, who had baptised in the last
year 455 converts, was in the attention he
paid to visiting the people.
Remarks were made by delegates as to the
pleasure they had experienced during the ses-
sion.
Rev. W. B. jefferson, from the committee
on digest of letters, submitted a report.

CHARGED WITH LARCENY,

False Tseth and Gold Watch Complication.
Yesterday morning in the Police Court
Hiram V. Dempster, of the firm of Dempster
& Parsons, dentists, was arraigned on q war
rant sworn out by Mrs. Frances A. Woodey,
charging him with the larceny of gold watch
and chain, valued at 500, which he removed
from her person while under the influence of
ether, administered by him for the purpose Of
drawing tooth.
The complainant stated that she went into
the office of the accused about the 1st of
April last to have a tooth drawn, and while
insensible he took the watch and chain, and
she did not discover its loss until she arrived
home. She had previously contracted with
him for a set of false teeth, for which she was
to pay him SIG, but she claimed to have paid
him 81 for pulling the tooth at the time. She
had frequently called upon him for the watch,
but he would not give it up until she paid him
a balance due on the set of false teeth.
On cross examination by Mr.. Newman,
counsel for defense, she said she did not re-
member of ever having given him the watch
as collateral security; if she did, it was when
she was under the influence of ether,
and she was not responsible for whit she did.
She acknowledged owing him a balance, which
she was ready to pay whenever he would give
her the watch.
Other evidence was given to show that
there was a dispute between them as to the
amount due him for professional services, he
claiming more than she acknowledged she
owed him.
She was supported in some particulars by
one witness, lady friend.
DR.. Parsons, for defense, testified that he
was present when either was administered
on two occasions; he saw nothing of the
transaction, and in a conversation with Mrs.
Woody some six weeks ago she told him that
she had loaned Mr.. Dempster the watch
until she could settle her bill. His partners
reputation for honesty was good, otherwise he
would not be associated with him.
A number ofwitnesses testified to the good
character of the accused.
The court decided to hold him for action of
the grand jury, fixing the bonds at $500, and
remaTking that it was q case of probable
cause, which removed it from his jurisdiction.
