Five Persons die Within a Month Whose
Combined ages reach 426 years.
Death has been unusually active
among the aged recently IN this county,
the sudden and extreme changes of the
winter temperature proving fatal in an
unusual number of cases. In this con-
nection it may be of interest to note, that
within the short period of four weeks,
the Rev. T. B. Hunter the esteemed
Pastor of the Cherry Hill Methodist
Episcopal Church, has attended the
funerals of five aged persons, whose COM
bIned ages amount to 426 years, and tho
aggregate of whose ages was over eighty

being of unusual longevity. January

Consolation.
BY S. NJ. osMoND, D. d.

As at the tomb OF Christ, even So two angels
The one named Memory and tie other Hope
Stand at the tOmbs of all whose lives have been
Christlike in their self sacrificing love,
Their truth ard purity, to speak the words
OF consolation that SO may assuage
The mourner's grie', and wholly take away
The bitterness and gloom. One casts the sweet
And healing recollections Of the past
Into its fountain; and the other makes
The very tears, which from that fountain flow,
Respleudent with brightness not of earth
The brightness of anticipated joys,
That Heaven shall richly yield, when severed
hearts
Shall find each other there, to part no more.

Tire New York southern Society.

from me NcW YORK IFl0un6.
Just now the Southern Society is max
ing special effort to increase its non
resident membership, and should the sys-
tematic and organized movement in that
direction be materially successful the
project for an unequaled clubhouse will
thereby be greatly advanced. A special
committee, consisting of Joseph l.. Rob-
eItson, John X. Abney, John G. Calhoun,
II. Ingram and Wilton Randolph, has
been appointed to direct the movement,
and this committee has forwarded to
every member of the society number Of
blank forms of application for member
ship and several concise statements of
the aims and objects Of the society, to be
mailed to possible candidates for non
resident membership, and a request that
the member receiving these documents
make the best possible use of them.
The statement of the objects and ad-
vantages of the society refers to the
society's possession of q commodious
home and rallying-place for Southern
men, to the society efforts to get together
complete library of Southern literature
and TO commendable work in the way Of
temporary relief of Southerners
strangers in New York, deprived of other
resources, who require and are worthy of
early to predict accurately the probable
effect of this movement to increase the
nonresident membership, which, by the
way, is modelled on the lines of the
similar movement of recent origin in the
Democratic Club. 1t is not unlikely,
though, that the nonresident memb ber-
ship of the society will at least be doubled
before next New Years Day
Every New York club has its share of
millionaires or at least wealthy men-that
is to say, all the leading clubs are so for
tunate. Some of the members of its mil
lionaire coterie are John II. Inman, John
G. Calhoun, William p. Thompson, J. II.
Parker, Charles II. Bosher, Stephen b.
Elkins, Charles NJ. Fry, Hugh r. Garden
ton, none of these gentlemen is at all IA
nous for wealth in this city of million
aires, but moderate estimate of their
collective wealth would be $25, 900, 600.

Patriotic Ladies Forwarding the Move
ment in this Worthy Cause.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Spinner Memorial Association was held
last Saturday evening at l06 G street
northwest, and called to order by Miss
IibbiC Stoner, the president. The COM
mittee ON printing reported that Mr.
James, editor of the Ndiiond Washington
RpUbiicdi, had sent in the lowest bid for
printing the appeal circulars, which was
Sll for 5000 copies and SIS for additional
copies (5000), and the contract was
awarded to him.
The president of the association, who at
previous meeting was requested to APP
point q standing committee on entertain
ments announced that Mrs. Electa Smith,
Madame Marie lie Barron, Mrs. Enges
and Miss Ada Rhodes had been APP
pointed and would serve.
The treasurer's report showed that the
treasury contained S99000, with large
subscription sum that as yet has not been
collected, but is perfectly reliable. The
association regarded the finances as being
in very healthy condition.
The interest awakened IN many sections
was manifested in q number of letters
presented by the corresponding secretary
from ladies of different States whom the
association had solicited to become vice.
presidents for their respective States, most
Of whom accepted the positions.
A letter from Mrs. Laura Spencer Hocy
of Helena, Mon, accepting the vice
presidency for her State was an incentive
TO exertion and an inspiration to patriot
ism and gratitude, BY lecturing and
writing she proposes to carry Montana for
the advancement of the Spinner cause.
Miss Anna Whitney of Boston Mass,
in answer to an inquiry as TO the best
method of securing the most competent
sculptor for the Spinner statue, advised
that one or two sculptors be chosen,
whose models should decide for or against
their engagement for the final work. She
thinks that better results can be attained
in this way than by general competition
An amendment to the constitution was
adopted which reduced the quorum for
regular business from twenty to nine
members, and that of the board of di-
rectors from nine to five.
By a unanimous vote the 20th of this
month was decided upon for moonlight
excursion down the river to be given
jointly by the Spinner Memorial Associa-
ton and the Illinois Association, the ex-
penses and profits to be equally shared.
After fixing the tickets at twenty-five
cents, the meeting adjourned

The District Attorney Says They Can
not Be Removed by Colonel Ernst.
In reply to question by the Commis-
sioners as to who has the control of the
pavement footways) around the parks Of
the city; whether the Commissioners or
the United States officers in charge of
Public Grounds, Attorney HazcltOn to-
day delivered the following interesting
opinion;
81 think the law furnishes clear dis
tinction between the power and responsi
bility of the Commissioners of the Dis
trict over the streets and footways of the
city and those opposite or along the pub
lie squares, reservations or other property
belonging to the United States. think
that section - of the act of May IL, 1915
contains the rule which should
govern in this matter Under this
section it would seem that the obligation
rests upon the United States Government
through its proper officers to repair and
keepin repair the pavements flag foot
ways, etc, which have been made or shall
be made opposite or along the public
squares, reservations or other property be-
longing to the United States. But do not
think that the officer contemplated by
this section has any authority to remove
or cut down ornamental trees within or
along such parks or reservations, and
kIlOW Ol no law OF congress DN WDlCn
Colonel Ernst is authorized to exercise
such power Congress expressed its will
as to the protection of ornamental aud
other trees on Government reservations
by the act of March 3, 1875 and it seems
TO have done so without providing for any
special authority in the officers of the
Government to interfere with the prop
erty protected thereby. think that these
parks and reservations may be said to he
under the control of the United States
through its proper officer to the ex-
tent prescribed by the law, which
] have cited; but think that the question
of trees, their removal or destruction,
where they come within the meaning of
the act of Congress made for their pro-
lection, Congress has reserved to itself.
OF course what would be an unlawful or
wanton destruction or injury to such
property would remain for the courts to
decide"
The question was submitted to the at
tolney on account of an application made
by Colonel Ernest to cut down some trees
along the curbs of Pennsylvania avenue
and Madison Place in order not to inter
fere with the view of the Lafayette Mon
ument. The Commissioners have replied
to Colonel Ernst by transmitting the
opinion of the attorney to him.

CRIMINAL COURT.



In the Criminal Court this morning
a motion was made by Attorney Cullinane
for new trial in the case of Robert Ham
mond, convicted of obtaining money
from Thomas Bowie under false represen-
tations. Mr.. Cullinane argued that the
verdict was against the law and the evil
dence and he filed aflidavits showing that
the defendant was of unsound mental
capacity 1t was also intmated that the
Court had prcjudiced the jury in the
charge. Judge Bradley said that he sim
ply desired to see justice vindicated and
the public protected. THE fact of the
jury returning verdict in six minutes
demonstrated that the evidence was CON
elusive enough. The defendant has been
a apestering sore in the community for Il
long while and ought to be removed" He
overruled the motion and sentenced Ham
mond to the Albany penitentiary for
three years.
Charged With Housebreaking.
The opening case of the week, called up
by Assistant District Attorney Clagett,
was that of housebreaking and larceny
against John Wallace, colored. 1t was al
legged on the part of the Government that
Wallace entered the house of Elizabeth
G. Burrows on Capitol Hill and stole a
gold watch and two umbrellas on the
night of May s, 1890. Nine months after
ward the watch was recovered in Full
tons pawn shop, where it had been
pawned by man named Riley for Sl5.
The latter said that he had obtained it
from Bernard King and King testified that
he purchased it from Ben Wallace for So.
This traced the watch to the prisoner,
John Wallace, who said that he procured
it from man in the Centre Market, whom
he did not know. The defense was that
Wallace was at home sick on the night
the crime was committed, and evidence
was given as to his previous good record
as citizen and soldier.
The jury found that the defendant was
not guilty, and he was discharged.
Grand Jury Presentments.
The grand jury this afternoon brought
into the Criminal Court the following pre-
sentiments; William Connell alias Frank
Ladi, larceny from the person;
John Simmons, same; Annie Haw-
kins, Henry Dodson and William Har-
ris, assault with attempt to kill;
Robert Trouland, John Champ and
Clarence Il. Benson, larceny; II. Price
Williams, false pretenses; Charles II.
Houck, alias Charles @. Wilson. false
Preteensesi George A. Kidwell, Frank
Cade, Frank Wilson, George Gwinn,
William Smith and Frederick Druck,
violation of the policy law; Samuel
Simpson, murder. The latter stabbed
Fred Wheeler with knife and he died
from the wound inflicted at Providence
Hospital February 27. The wound was
inflicted at the Reform School.
Edward Brent Sentenced.
In the case of Edward Il. Brent, charged
with housebreaking, the plea of not
guilty was withdrawn and plea of
guilty entered. Brent entered the
store of ]. f. Dyer in company with
William Poole and stole goods of the
stated to the Court that Poole, his partner,
was serving sentence of eight years in
the Richmond Penitentiary. Judge Brad
ley committed him to Albany for four
years.

cRlTyCIsING BLAINE.
The italian Premier Charges UndiplO-
matte Conduct.


BoNr. May THE following note from
Budini TO lmpcrialii is made public
81 have now before me a note addressed
TO you bv Secretary Blaine Aprit H. Its
pcrusal produces a most painful impress
sion upon me. ! will not stop to lay stress
upon the lack of conformity with diplo-
matte usagcs displayed in making use, as
Mr. Blaine did not hesitate to do, of a por-
tion of a telegram of mine communicated
to him IN strict confidence, in order to get
rid Of aqucston clearly defined in our
official documents which alone possesses
a diplomatic value. Nor will ! stop to
point out the reference in this telegram of
mine of March ~ that the words punish
ment Of the guilty in the brevity of tcle-
graphic language actually signifcd only
that prosecution ought to be commenced
i'm order that the individuals recognized as
guilty should not escape punishment.
Far above all astute arguments remains
the fact that hencefOrwarded the Federal
Government declares its consciousness of
what we have constantly asked, aud yet it
does not grant our demands. Mr.. Blaine
is right when he makes the payment of
indemnity to the families dependent upon
proof of the violation of the treaty, but
we shrink from thinking that he con
siders the facts of such violation still
needs proof. Italian subjects acquitted by
AlutIsCdH JuIltS were llldSSuCTeu Ill
Pr sons without measures being taken to
de'end them. What other proof does the
II, deral Government expect of violation
OF a treaty wherein constant protection
auG security of subjects of the contracting
parties is expressly stlpulated2 We have
placed on evidence that we have never
asked anything else but the opening of
regular proceedings.
I'm regard to this, Baron Fava's first
note, dated March i5 contained even the
formula of the telegram addressed on the
same day by Mr.. Blaine under the order
of President Harrison to the Governor of
Louisiana. Now, however, in the note of
April II, Mr.. Blaine is silent on the sub
ject, which is for us the main point of
controversy. We are under the sad necos-
sity of concluding that what to every
other government would appear to be the
accomplishing of strictly civil duty is i'm
possible to the Federal Government.
at is time to break off this bootless con-
troversy. Public opinion, the sovereign
judge, will know how to indicate an equit-
able solution of this grave problem. We
have affirmed and we again aftim our
right. Let the Federal Government reflect
upon its side if it is eXpedient to leave to
the mercy of each State of the Union, ir-
responsible to foreign countries the eff
cheney of treaties, pledging its faith and
honor to entire nations. The present dis
patch is addressed to you exclusively, not
to the Federal Government. Your duties
henceforth are soley restricted to dealing
with current business
