Lynchers to Justice.
Gov. Hogs Of Texas claims to have done
everything In his power to prevent the tortur-
Ing to death Of Henry Smith, the negro muir
derer, at Paris. He sent this dispatch to the
sheriffs at both Paris and Texarkana:
Use all lawful means 10 see that Henry
Smith is protected from mob violence and
brought TO trial for his crime before the lawfal
authorities. Mobs must not be permitted to
try prisoners in Texas. II you need help call

law and the honor of Texas and your people
from committing murder
When Gov. Hogg received Official infor-
nation or the bnrning he instructed the county
attorney at Paris to secure the names OF all per-
sons engaged in the affair. and he sent the fol-
lowing instructions to the sheriff Of Lamar
county at Paris:
Discharge your sworn duty as an officer of
the state faithfully and fearlessly. Promptly

vile, Texas. In the lynching Of the negro,
Henry Smith, in Paris, on Yesterday, the laws
of the state have been openly defied. Every
good citizen is interested in maintaining and
enforcing the laws of the land. Either law and
order or anarchy prevail and there can be no
compromise or middle ground. Mob law in
Texas must be stamped out. 1t is believed and
expected that You will promptly, diligently and
persistently inquire and ascertain who are the
guilty persons and faithfully and fearlessly
prosecute them. Any assistance needed will
be promptly rendered. J. S. HoGG.

The governor is very indignant and is en-
phatic IN asserting that all guilty persons shall

The Acorn Club.

The Acorn Club dance last evening at the
National Rifles Armory was one Of the most
brilliant in the long series that has become so
well known and popular in Washington. The
armory was thronged with splendicly arrayed
company and the floor continually crowded
with dancers. The bail Maintained, as usual. the
high reputation that it has won for the beauty
Of the femininity that graced it. Indeed, at no
ball given this winter there o greater
number Of charming and handsome women to
be seen, and the show Of dresses was superb.
The frame was made quite worthy Of the pic
ture, for the decorations were on the most
elaborate scale. The stage was set with O
tropical scene and banked with bloom
ing plants. behind which an excel.
lent orchestra was concealed. Palms
bent their green heads until they touched the
beautiful ferns and lilies which were massed
around them. Electric lights of various colors
were entwined about the green trimming Of the
stage and a result the picture was dazzling
in it's brilliancy. The Acorn Club is the crack
social organization Of Capitol Hill, its members
embracing a group Of young men of excep-
tional character and bright capabilities. The
director-in-chief Of the evenings dancing was
Mr.. Daniel 8. Hughes, who was ably assisted
BY Messrs. ]. Frank Coleman, VIM. F. Lacey
VIM. H. Landyoigt, P. ]. Keleher and Frank E
Stricken.

Guns Today While the Vessel Il Moving.
The pneumatic guns OF the Vesuvius we're
given breathing srell yesterday while the
board and the ships officers were busy cs,a-
loguing the results Of the experiments already
made. The relation Of valve settings to the
range curves as checked by the results of the
last two days tests will be traced The result
will be partially new range curve, which. it is
believed, will be practically accurate. The re-
la.iou between established ranges and the re-
duction of air pressure in the reservoir will also
be shown.
To-day the Nesuvius will probably 60 down 20

The course will be one mile long and il will be

Philadelphia and is similar TO targets usually
employed in naval practice with large gums.
The target will be anchored at the end OF the
course and will be approached by the Vesu-
wins under full head OF steam.
1t is understood that the board will give the
order to fire. stating Mt the same time the range
of the target. This will leave Lieut. Schroeder
! the difficult task Of selecting the correct valve
setting. The moving tests will. therefore be
very severe ones.
Before leaving her dock. however, the ve-
suvius may FIRE a few more shells. but this is
not definitely settled. The curve lines would
be employed probably. and for that reason such
tests would be very interesting.
The Philadelphia was prscticing yesterday
with her secondary battery at a target. Capt.
John Rapieff was expected to arrive, bringing
the fuses for the loaded shell. 1t is probable
that before trying fuse on one of the ve-
suvius loaded shells its effectiveness will be
tested upon a few ten-pound charges OF powder.

The amendment was rejected.
Mr.. Galiinger offered similar amendment,
except that it referred to companies already es-
tablished. He said that at the Virginia end of
the Chain bridge was company Of ample ia
cili.ies, which would furnish the electric light
ing OF Washington for S3H per cent less than
the present price.
Senators Allison ard Cockreil explained that
the present contract does not expire until 1894.
Mr.. Allison specially objected to lacking on
such amendments at this late stage OF an ap-
preparation bill.
The amendment was disagreed to.

Wives Of Ex.Soldiers.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
"R." states in an article in your paper Of the

soldier has no right to pension, as she did not
give anything and should therefore not take.

think of marriage-who afterward settled in

cially unable to marry at that time, should they

learned from a reliable source that it is only a
question of time before Danny" Richardson
will again become giant. Since the Washing
ton club signed ''Sam'' Wise to play second base
and captain the team. it is evident that the
Washington managers are willing to get rid Of
Richardson. The New Works are trying very
hard for his services.
From Philadelphia comes the story that the
club will not let Roger Common so under any
circumstances. Just who the New York club
will look after to the initial bag is not yet
known. but Dan Brouthers is likely to be
secured, rs Dave Foutz will play first base for
Brooklyn during the coming season.

University Students Consider Yale's Action
Victory for Them.
Pennsylvania University students are in high
glee over the result Of the Yale mass meeting,
voting to do away with the team limitation rule
as passed at the recent meeting of the Inter
collegiate Foot Ball Association in New York.
Provost Pepper signified his interest in the
affair and his pleasure at the prospect Of con-
tinuation of that unifying university spiri.
which he has been working for SO ardently for
SO many years by telesraphing Fluctuations 20
the foot ball committee.
Capt Naekey says the subject has been
thrown open by this action to the cool deiibera-
ton which il deserves at the hands Of both
students and faculty. That the time between
this and the May meeting will be sufficient for
a fall and careful discussion OF the question by
all the colleges, and as Yale's position is no
longer teuable there will be 10 difficulty in
multiplying the original amendment.
However much tae question of barring the
avenues of professionalism may be agitated, it
is not likely that any OF the universities will con-
sent to have their strength i'm paired.
