William Starr Seeks 10 Enjoin Sale of
Property.
Judge Cole listened to argument yester-
day in the case of William NJ Starr, the
welI-knowu herb doctor aud veteran OF
three wars, for an injunction against Mar
shall Albert A. Wilson restraining him from
Ievying an execution on the complainant's
property.
Mr.. Starr, in company with George T.
Mason, went on the bond of Collier c. Fray
ser in 1879 to indemnify the Government
in letting mail route contracts 10 the latter.
Frayser sublet some of the contracts.
Because of the default of some of the sub
contractors the Government brought suit
against Frayser and his bondsmen in 1888
T wo years later, for some reason, FrayseI
was dropped from the case and Judgment
by default was entered against Starr and
Mason in 1888.
The Judgment is said to have lain idle
from 1889 to 1896 when j was discovered,
it is said, that DR.. Starr had property OF
his own. The property was thereUpon at
| tached and the marshal delivered a tenn
porary deed OF sale to the Government the
only bidder The petitioner asked that the
| deed mentioned be eclared null and void,
and that the marshal be restrained from

abandoned, will make good to Mir. Thomas
A Rover, the grocer, at North Capitol aud

treachery aud theving OF the young sharper.
Mrs Bussius will do this so that 10 stain
of the transaction shall rest upon her

treated by Douglass. The mother stated
that when Douglass had her daughter in
Baltimore the last time, and while he still
had the greater portion Of the 500 in his
pocket, which he had obtained from Grocer
Rover through fraud, the wife suggested
that he give her some money as she wanted
to go shopping and get some necessary ar

reluctantly handed her a l bill.
An hour later Douglass had flown, an6

AN ENEMY OF CATHOLICISM

(By United PIess.) }

New York, Aug S.-The session of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Society was
opened at 10:45 O'Clock with prayer by
Father Doyle, general secretary. First
Vice President J. Washington Logue, pre-
sided, Secretary Doyle read the following
telegram from Rev. Henry Elliott Mott,
president of the Buffalo League:
1.-The Buffalo League for Public Good
prays Gods blessing on your deliberations
and urge that you encourage voters to pro-
tect the Lords day from partisan poll
ticians."
The report OF the treasurer was then
read 1t showed that So, .33 had been
received during the year and that there was
cash balance on hand at present OF 1855 "a
The report was received with applause.
Rev. Father Zurcher, OF Buffalo, created
great sensation in presenting the report of
his union.
1--WE have come to the conclusion in
Buffalo," said he, that the only way to
lift up the Catholic people to total absti-
nence is to convert the entire nation and
let them carry up the Catholic people with
them. We cannot convert Catholics tndi-
vidualIy We have also come to the con-
| clusion that we receive very little help
from our Catholic newspapers.
Here Father Zurcher produced news
paper and read an advertisement. Look.
| said he. "here is an advertisement for pure
| rye whisky and in the next column there Is
| q picture of Cardinal Gibbons" There
was great laughter at this remark.
Father Zurcher produced another Cath
olic ne wspaper, and looked over the adver-
tisements Here is another advertise
ment," said he, excitedly, "for pure rye
whisky, and right opposite 1T is the pic
ture OF the Most Rev Archbishop Ireland
And this is a Catholic ne wspaper."
The hall was in roar of laughter as
Father Zurcher was speak king. He paced
up and down tAe platform excitedly, and
did not seem TO mind the sen sation he was
| creating.
Continuing he went on to say that the
| Catholic Church In America loses 80 600
members annually sacrificed to drink
while the whole total abstinence member
| ship was only So 900
I'VE are told TO go slow he exclaimed,
| in conclusion; yes, go slow until we die.

Editor: It is a real pleasure-a positive
reiief-to use the Columbian after expert

comparison that the Columbian has twice
the number of volumes and less than half

Professor: And you throw in six months

MOTHER KIDNAPs HER son.
Mrs. Andrew Craig's Ruse 10 Get Pos
session of Her Child.

A singular case of kidnapping, in which
Andrew Craig, OF No. 19 Eighth street
northeast, lost his eleven-y ear old son
Willie, has just been brought to light
and has aroused much interest among the
neighbors in East Washington
Mr.. Craig has been separated from his
wife for three years, and for the past two
years has been supporting his two little
children, boy and girl, who have been
living with their mother at Mrs. DoIlie
schneider's, on East Capitol street.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Craig received
a situation as sewing teacher in an In
dian sewing school in Mount Pleasant,
Mich, and, taking the little girl with her,
left at once for that place, leaving the
boy at home with Mrs. Schneider.
This lady at once sent Willie, the son,
TO his father, and Mr Craig from him
learned of his wife's action. The father
naturally was glad to have his son back
with him, so he took the boy around with
him, and all went well for several days.
until Willie one morning received a note
from Mrs. Schneider saying that his mother
had sent some money for sone stamps,
and for him TO come around and get it.
He left for Mrs. Scneider's that morn
ing, and he was not seen or heard of again
for over week. Mr.. Craig made Inquiries
of Mrs. Schneider and others in the neigh
| borhoOd about his son, but failed 10 re-
| ceive any information other than that
| he had been TO the lady's house ami had
| left again Nothing was ever heard OF
| Willie again until Monday morning last,
when Mr.. Craig received a letter from
him, postmarked Mount Pleasant say
ing that he was with his mother and
sister and was having good time.
When he left or how he ever got to his
destination remains mystery, but it is
thought By Mr.. Craig that his wife was
at Mrs. Schneider's house at the time
the note was written aud that she took
the boy with her.

ONE MILLION FOR A GARDEN
EE-Secretary Whitney Has Refused
That Sum for His.
He Keeps 1t just as His Wife Used to
Like It-Many Washingtontans
Summering in Canada.

Hon. william c. whitney has costly
little fancy in the matter of keeping up
garden to his New York residence. In order
TO carry out this fancy he sacrifices ground
valued at 81 GOO 600.
The sides OF his house on Fifth avenue
are entirely covered with vines of the
amphnoptic variety that are green as grass
uutu the autumn when they change TO
lovely shades OF red aud yellow before
falling TO the ground. Nothing viii induce
Mr. Whitney 10 hearken TO the advice or
friends to sell this strip of ground running
alongside his house, even in the face of the
fact that did he choose 10 do so he could
at any moment receive a cool million for
the lot. He prefers to keep it solely as a
garden.
one OF the features of it is a dog kennel
at one end which, like the walls OF the
house, is completely euveloped with the
green vines. Every morning when Mr..
whitney goes out he stands for some little
time gazing at the green place which 1T is
his fancy TO keep intact as garden just as
Mrs. Whitney loved best TO have it.
