Is A BATTLESHIP ADVOCATE.
Com odore Hichborn Speaks for
Them Before the Naval Architects.

Under the heading of Recent designs
of vessels for the United States Navy"
read yesterday before the meeting of the
Society of Naval Architects and Marine
Engineers, in New York City, Chief
Constructor Ifichborn described the princ.-
pal considera tions involved in warship
designs for this country, and the various
types upon which the government had
practically settled in the rehabilitation of
the service.
Through battleships alone he said,
''can an enemy be met and vanquished, even
before he sights our coast, and, through
battleships alone, can any successful de-
monstratiun evmadc against an enemys
seaports. In a word, battleships are the
real bone and sinew of any naval force,
and no maritime country can be great in
offense or defense without fully accepting
this almost automatic statement,
With cruisers and gunboats he deems us
fairly well supplied, and the eXigencies of
maintaining an efficient blockade and do-
ing the ordinary police duty of peace times
therein provided for; brt in torpedo boats
we are thought sadly .ficient.
Mr.. Hlchborn points out the considera-
tions, geographical, hydro graphic. and
tactical, that have been studied in the
evolution of our latest battleships, and
deems the result more satisfactory as n
whole, than the designs of any foreign
power.
What we lack, he said, is n scheme of
naval development pregnant with homo
geneity; and while he thinks the ad-
vancement typical of each nrw ship matter
of congratulation, he deems a well-con-
sidered policy carried to fulfilment and re-
sulting in a fleet of battleships of ike
kind, capable of the highest tactical ef-
ficiency acting concertedly, more satis-
factory course.

Vendome'> Backers Have No Conuec-
tion with the Late Eureka Club.
The gentlemen who own, control, and
manage the new yendome Athletic Club
are anxious that the public in general, and
more particularly the sportingly inclined
public, should know that they are in no
way connected with the deceased Eureka
Athletic Club. which departed this life
on the night the Woods odfrey mill did
not take place.
Their reasons for SO doing are numerous.
In the first place, the late Eureka would
not make a brilliant success as drawing
card, and i'll the second il has been passed
around that the new Ncndome Club is
backed by gentlemen of the gambling fra
tcrnity. AS those connected with the
new club are in the business for sport only
they wish TO have this impression eiimi-
mated
As has been stated in these columns
before, the first bout that will be pulled
off by the Vendomes' will be a twenty
round affair bet ween Joseph Bateman
of this city, and John Glynn of VIII
mington, Della ware. This battle will take
place on the night of the goth OF the present
month and gives promise of being hot
potatoes
Billy Nally and Pat" Connors Will
furnish little song and dance act of SIX
or eight rounds as preliminary. Those
who saw Patrick cross his right on the
features of the one time champion of the
District, know full well that no brotherly
love is lost between the men. They will
go into that twenty four foot ring with
the determination to fight for keeps and
if indications do not fail, this bout VIII
throw the main contest of the evening far
into the shade.

Uws OF the metropolis being personal

Strong and Recorder Goff. He paid q
glowing tribute to the work performed
by them in attempting To establish a pure
government in New York city.
The Bowcry was alSp one or the features
OF Mr.. Ennis lecture. He depicted scenes
among the lower classes OF New York $
population people only run across IN the
sIums, and drew interesting comparisons
betewen this class and the working people
OF the city. He also described a visit TO
a Peil street opium joint, and told OF tie
number OF people OF the better class who
visit them.
Alarze audience listened to DR.. Ennis. snd

MURDER CASE APPEALS.
Two Interesting Ones From Judge
Pmrker's Court Now Pending.

Pmrker's Court Now Pending.
Judge Parker's court, for the Western
district OF Arkansas, has sent up two cases
TO the Supreme Court OF the United States
this week which present unusual features.
Alexander Allen appeals for the third
time, a unique record in the history of the
Supreme Court VI the United States, from
Judge Parker's sentence Of death. for the
killing OF Philip Henson, In the Cherokee
Nation. May Ii, 1892. At that time the
condemned man was Il youth OF eighteen,
and his victim a boy even younger, only
fifteen.
In his charge TO the jury on the third
trial. last month, Judge Parker devoted a
greater part of the two and half hours
that he addressed them to discussion of
self defense. He said The term had been SO
abused by some appellate courts that a
man who was running away might be shot
and that defense successfully set up, if only
he had been heard to utter threats.
The other case grew out of a horrible
outrage committed in the Greek nation,
last July, resulting in a verdict and SEN
fence OF death against Rufus Buck, Lewis
Davis, Lucky Davis, Sam Sampson and
MaOma July, white. Indian and negro out
laws. They rode to the house of David
Hassan, and after robbing him and his
family Of all their valuablcs, compelled Mrs.
Hassan to cook their dinner. After this
they brutaliy assaultedthew woma n. outraging
her IN turn. while the husband was held in
check by Winchester rifles.
Their attorney appealed the case, alleging
error In Judge Parker's charge. Rufus
Buck one OF the convicted men, claims to be
a brother of Cherokee Bill" who enjoys the
unique distinction of having appeals from
Judge Parker's court pending in the Su
premc Court in two capital cases the vic
tim being different one in each case.

LOVING CUP FOR JEFFERSON
Presentation to the Venerable Actor
at the Garden Theater.
1t Was IA Token of Esteem and Affec-
tion From One Thousand Members
of the Profession.

New York, Nov. s.-The presentation
OF loving cup to Comedian Joseph Jeffcr-
son in the Garden Theatcr this afternoon
added another To the notable histrionic
events of the metropolis The ceremonies,
which began at . O'Clock, were impressive
in their simplicity, and the great number
of theatrical people present testified in
no unmistakable manner to tncir abiding
friendship for, and thorough appreciation
of the venerable actor, who has con-
tributed SO much to the fame of the
American stage. The gift was the token
of esteem of 900 members Of the theatri-
cal profession.
Throughout The vast audience was every
actor and actress of note in The city. Sir
Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry were
among item, as were John Drew, a. NJ.
Palmer, Mrs. Agnes Booth-Schoeffel and
Frank Mayo. When Mr.. jefferson himself
made his appearance, hand in hand with
Mrs. John Drew, and the band playing
Aud Lang Sync," the welcome extended
10 him was thunderous in its character.
Manager Daniel Frohman opened the
proceedings with a formal address well
ing Mr.. jefferson and expressed for his
auditors and himself the honor all felt
in having the great comedian among them.
He then introduced Mrs. Agnes Booth
Schocffei, who read an original poem by
William Winter in honor of Mr.. jefferson.
john Drew followed in short address, III
which he spoke of the stage from the
standpoint OF Il young star actor.
Frank Mayo then made the speech, pre-
seuting the loving-cup TO Mr.. Jefferson.
On the left of the stage was a stand covered
with green silk. Beneath this covering of
silk was the model of the loving cup, which
is not yet finished. Six young girls, at
tired in white, stood Oh either side OF the
stand and as Mr.. Mayo. in behalf of the
actors OF America, presented the cup to his
friend OF forty years, the six girls parted
the silk curtains and revealed the model
or the cup.
It's presentation was the signal for APP
plause, which continued for some minutes,
and which visibly affected Mr.. Jefferson,
who said he found difficulty in expressing
his gra titude for the gift, and for the so
warmly expressed regard of its donors and
their friends. The vast audience would
not disperse until most of them had per
sonally exchanged greeting with their old
time friend.

CHEERING BUSINESS MEN.
Endenvor Committee Adopts Plan
for '0B Subscriptions


The Subcommittee on finance for the
in July, 1896, met last evening at the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
Chairman W. b. Robson presiding.
The matter Of indeXing the business mems
book, which contains the signatures OF
1.o20 business men of the city. who prom
ised TO cooperate with the committee in
raising a fund of 81 5000 was brought
up for discussion. The chairman suggested
a plan of sending an index of the names
in this book to each member of the
auxiliary finance committee. aCconpanied
by two letters. The first letter explains
the plan of action proposed to raise the
81 5000 fund, using the business mems
book as a basis. The second letter di-
reefs the members of the auxiliary finance
committee TO place check mark after
the names of those persons on the list
whom they think they can approach for
q subscription better than anyone else,
and to add to this list names of persons
not already upon it, whom they consider
able to subscribe. After this has been
done the checked list is to he returned
TO the main finance commmittee.
When all these lists are returned the
finance committee will go over them and
assign to each auxiliary committee mem-
Der the names of a number of persons
who they are to canvass for subscriptions.
The various business men whose names
are in the look will be notified who is
TO call upon them in regard TO the matter,
and in this way the Inconvenience of hav
ing several individuals solicit the same
person viii be avoided. This plan was
adopted and VIII be submitted to the com
mittee OF 90 for their approval.
The question OF the personnel of the

order that the best selection might be

ness in Virginia.
GOOD WORK OF THE TIMES
Had All His Paraphernalia Loaded on
Wagons and Carried to an Auction
HOuse-Felt That There Was No
Use in Struggling Any Longer
Against Law and Order.

Nelson Foster, gambler, has gone the
way of the uHrigbteous, nj Virginia
shall know him no more. Yesterday, while
the sun was climbing The eastern heavens
he stood in his doorway, through which
have reelcd the forms of countless drunken
men, and. glancing with a sad aud gloomy
eye through the boughs OF the old oak tree
which has 50 long shaded mis- home of in
fanny, he crushed and crumpied a COPY OF
The Times and cursed il as he cast IL To
the ground: 1T was that blankety blank
Times that did this
red auction flag floats over Fos-
t,r's paraphernalia and an auction bell
is ringing.
Seeing that the struggle against law and
order was hopeless, that the war which
The Times has waged against crime aud
criminals was bringing forth results; that
Gov. 0Fcrrall was beginning TO act, and
that Attorney Marbury meant to uphold
the dignity of his State, Nelson Foster
threw up the sponge.
SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL.
Since the raid on Jack Heath's place
and Jack was a neighbor of his-Foster
had slept on a troubled pillow, and horn
tailed imps, instead of whlte-winscd an
gels, Eovered o'cr his couch. He dreamed
OF raids, of sheriffs cutting gamblers
lie heard the kncli of fate sounding In
chorus with the click of chips and dice,
the cries OF Keno the pop Of corks, and
the oaths that fell from sin-tippcd lips
more frequently than pearls dropped from
the lips OF the fairy in the fable.
His appetite was gone. His ribs began
to rattle against his vest. He sought TO
bolster up his courage with wine when it
was red At every sound, fear over
came him, and a knot that chuked, rose
in his throat. He grew nervous, and lines
of care began Ia burrow in his visage
lie couldn't stand the strain He shut
down the games and told his patrons
that they must look for pastures new.
No more ca rds or dice could be played
at Fosters place. Shrouds We're laid
over the tables on which blear-eycd men
had staked their money and lost the
bread of their wives and children.
DETERMINED TO SELL OUT.
The echoes OF the curses died away and
the stiffness grew oppressive. Foster de-
termined to sell out. and yesterday morn
ing three two-horse teams wound down
the road and halted at his door.
The furniture was loaded on The out
fit consisted of twenty card tables, one
hundred and eighty oak chairs and other
tables which had been used as roulette and
keno tables. These were taken to an auc-
ton house and viii be sold to-day.
Nelson Foster VIII leave Washington,
and although he never viii reform, yet
he will pursue his nefa rious calling in some
place other than in the shadow of the
Statue of Liberty. The Times did it.
