TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
Second Public Meeting of Father
Mathew Society.

The second public meeting of the season
by the Father Mathew Total Abstinence
Society was held last evening in the hall
of Carroll Institute. The hall was crowd
ed with an audience that enthusiastically
applauded the declarations of the speakers
as to the evils of intemperance. The Rev.
]. F. MCGEE, spiritual director Of the So
ciety, presided.
The principal address Of the evening was
delivered by the Rev. p. ]. Garrigan, d. D.,
vice rector of the Catholic University. The
reverend speaker said that nine tenths of
the criminals OF the country were under
thirty years of age-mcn in the sunburst
of their careers, the majority of whom
had sacrificed their lives and souls by In
temperance. He spoke in glowing terms Of
the greatness of the country and the glor-
les of citizenship in this republic. He closed
with an appeal for the audience to prac-
tice the virtue of Christian charity and
aid the fallen brother.
Judge Arson S. Taylor of the Good Citi-
Zenship branch of the Christian Endeavor
spoke of the fraternal feeling that pre-
vailed among ,the temperance advocates
of the city, and reviewed the provisions
of the excise law governing the granting
of licenses TO saloons. prohibition would
be in force here" said Judge Taylor, were
it the desire of the community, for the
saloons exist by the permission of the
residents in the neighborhood of them" :"
he adVOcared the upholuinS OF all OTlclalS
who enforced the law. Seven out of ten
of the prisoners in the Police Court were
there directly from intemperance, two
indirectly from the same cause and the
tenth one got there by some mishap.
Congressman j. w. Talbert of South
Carolina also spoke. He said that he had
at all times and all places advocated total
abstinence. 1t was noticeable fact that
men who refused because of inability to
subscribe to the support of the church and
charitable societies would squander four
times the amount for drink. To his think
ing the gentlemanly drinker-the moderate
user of strong drink-was the greatest en-
emy to society. He gave the example to
youth that would tend to their destruction.
The people of the country, he said pay
many times as much for whisky as they
do for taxes, and yet the cry of hard times
is echoed from one end of the country
to the other. He told several. amusing
anecdotes that sent the audience home in
a good humor.
The musical part of the program was
OF the highest. order, being rendered by
Miss Morgan, piano solo; Mr.. Clarence
Cook, solo; Mrs. J. Esputa Daly, solo, and
Mrs. and DR.. DAILY, a duet.

Columbian University Law School Debating
Society for Saturday evening, December %
At Columbian University Law School
Judge Bradley is delivering his course CT

tice."
The students at Georgetown Law School
find much profitable and interesting work
in the cases which are tried from time to
time before the moot court. In analogy to
those whose places they intend to lupy
later in life they frequently are diSSa lis
fled with the decisions when rendered in
this first trial, and a moot court of appeals
is provided, in which the case can be again
heard.
This court OF appeals handed down re-
Gently a very interesting decision in an ac-
ton of ejcctment, in which the common
law doctrine of adverse possession was in
volved. The court of appeals reversed the
decision of the lower court. The opinion Cf
the court was read by Chief Justice Lam
bert and was very exhaustive review of
the doctrine of adverse possession.
The court of appeals heard Wednesday
evening of last week the arguments in the
case, the two sides Of which are represent
ed. respectively, by Messrs. II. NJ. Locke
and L. Ross Perry, jr. A decision upon
this will be handed down in the second
week In January.
Case No. : in the moot court was heard
Thursday night. II. V. Easterling and r.
W. Stone represented the plaintiffs and A.
+. J.. Leckie and J. J. Fitzgerald the de-
PENDANTS.

cate with the University of Virginia with

Formation of u ErOtectiVc Union.

A permanent result of tn strike on the
Metropolitan street railway last week was
reached yesterday, when the conductors
ard drivers of the various street railways
in Washington met at Typographical Hall
and formed an organization under the
name of The Protective Street Railway

meeting was held in the morning, and
while the attendance was largely made
up of the employees of the Metropolitan
company there were also conductors and
drivers present from the lexington, the
Belt line. the Columbia and the Rock
Creek electric road.
Mr. Walter NJ. Hawkins acted as tenn
pcrary chairman, with l. w. Gwynn as sec
retary, and after a brief discussion of the
objects of the organization the election
of permanent Off GERS was proceeded with,
resulting in the election of Thomas Stur-
giS, q driver of the Metropolitan company,
as president; Walter NJ. Hawkins, con-
ductor of the same lire, vice president,
and 1. w. Gwynn, also n Metropolitan con-
duCtOr, secretary and treasurer.
The question whether the new associa-
ton should affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor or the Knights of
Lator was discussed at some length, but
no definite decision was arrived at. Mr..
James n. Power, the eastern organizer of
the International Typographical Union,
addressed the meeting and spoke of the
benefits that would accrue to the men
mem lne prOlecllNe influences with Wnlcn
they had surrounded themselves by organ
izing. Several other gentlemen made re-
marks of similar tenor and it was de-
cided to create a committee to draw up

or "Wednesday. The president appointed as
members of this committee Messis. James

MUCH MIXED ESTATE.
Several Local Heirs tO,a Big Chicago
Estate.

Through an old record hook, belonging to
Mr.. James r. Smith of Hancock, Md, in
which has been faithfully, kept an account
of the "events"of his place for many years.
important evidence has been discovered
bearing on the heirs of John McCaffrey,
the eccentric octogenarian who, after years
Of poor success on the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal here, suddenly left one day
wife, home and Children went to Chicago,
amassed a fortune estimated at half a
million, and then died, leaving his wealth
to his heirs If they could be found.
The record book has been brought to
public use through the visit of Mrs. Marion
Hooper Of Baltimore, with the object OF
collecting additional evidence as to her
fathers legal descendants. McCaffrey left
Hancock, where he resided when not on his
boat, in 1852. He had been married three
times. The last union was with Nancy
Canoe. woman very much older than
himself. After his departure the children
became scattered, and some died.
There have been found, however, Mar
garet, who is now Mrs. Shipley, .matron OF
Bellevue Asylum near Hagerstown; Mrs.
Hooper, who was reared by James Condy,
later a member of the Maryland legisla-
ture; Mrs. Rice, the wife of the Pennsyl-
vanfa avenue photographer, and the chill
dren Of James Seaman, the Georgetown
ter. The mother of the Seaman children is
dead, and they are consequently entitled
to her share of the estate. Their father
has married a second time. Seaman re-
ceives SO a month from the Chesapeake
| and Ohio Canal Company for his work in
opening and shutting the gates on the
waterway at 10Th street. His children are
in need greatly of their windfall. Mccall
frey never wrote or allowed any one here
to get intelligence from him while away,
and all who thought of him at all thought
only of him as one dead and whose lie had
been uneventful and unsuccessful.
One of McCaffrey's wives was burned TO
death.
The lawyers representing the various
heirs are quickly getting things together
for their clients. Trips have been made to
Chicago, and the reality Of the fortune
established. 1t is represented by stock,
principally of the best paying corporatioD
in the city.
Attorney Beale of Georgetown represents
the Seaman children.

EVERYBODY INTERESTED
Grown-Up Folks Wearing the Santa Claus
Badges.
The Fund Also Grows Steadily by
Means of COntributions-Much
Suffering Reported.

The introduction of The Star Santa Claus
badge into the city post Office on Saturday
was most successful affair, and by night
every one of the blue ribbons and silver
badges had been disposed OF at rates some
what above the market price of the badges.
The excess of receipts over the standard
prices will be turned into the fund. The
word has come that the clerks in the other
departments feel that they may be able
to organize branches of this splendid char
ity amcng themselves, and orders are eX-
pCcted to pour into The Star office in few
hours at great rate.
Today the private schools began to take
hand, and three of them, the Columbia
Preparatory, the Emerson Institute and
the Friends Select School, sent for fifty
badges each. The idea is spreading finely,
and the dimes are tinkling into Santa
Claus stout purse with merry music.
Others Of the private schools may have as
many of the badges as they desire There
Is no distinction drawn in The Star Santa
Claus Club, either as to its members or it's
benefciaries. No class or UNCONVENTIONAL
lines are drawn. Need is need, whether it
be under one cloak or another Hunger is
always biting, and cold is terrible to bear.
There can be nothing to alleviate such suf-
iciiiS dS WANT DIlHSS olN6f lndn IOOQ, 1uSl
and clothing, and money must be had to
by these things.
So The Star sets out to raise this money,
and most of it comes from the little con-
tributions of the school children. But dol
lars help just ten times more than dimes.
Dollars are still coming in from the hands
of good people who can spare some from
their own store to help those with none
at all. The list of charitable givers is
growing, and il is TO be hoped it will con-
tinue to grow all this week until there are
two columns of names and generous
amounts to be printed in acknowledgment.

Smashed the Window.

At an early hour yesterday morning one
of the show windows of J. II. Flanagan's s
jewelry store, No 5Sl 7th street, was
smashed and about 500 worth of plated
silver ware stolen. 1t is thought that the
burglars used a brick wrapped in a coat,
for such a missile was found in the win
dow yesterday morning after the robbery
was committed. The police have investi-
gated the case, but as yet no clue to the
perpetrators of the robbery has been OBJ
