Justice Carroll w. Smith, by whom the
most of the warrants for the arrest Of Of
tenders against the law in Anacostia are
Issued. said last night that he Is determined
to have the question settled by competent
authority whether the police officers to
whom his warrants are given for enforce
ment are under the law compelled to do so
or whether they only serve them as g. mat
ter of courtesy, and have a right to use
their own Judgment in the matter Several
cases of the kind have arisen lately where
officers have used discretionary power in
serving warrants.
Rev. T. B. Hughes. pastor of st. Teresa's

"NO American Better Deserved the
Epithet Heroic"
All the coming engagements of the staff
Of the United States embassy at London,
including the state ball, have been Cancelled
on account of the death Of Secretary Gres-
ham. No member of the United States en-
bassy was present at the Derby yesterday.
AS soon as the news of Mr.. Gresham's
death was received the flags were half
masted on the United States embassy and
on the United States consulate. thus fore
stalling the instructions of President Cleve-
land.
A representative of the Associated Press
questioned the United States ambassador,
Mr.. Baysrd, with reference to the state
ments from Washington that he would
probably succeed Mr.. Gresham as Secre-
tary Of State.
Mr. Bayard said: These are mere spec
ulations and cannot discuss them"
Mr. Bayard was then asked to send,
through the Associated Press, a message
to the American people upon the death of
Mr.. Gresham, and he said that the follow
ing might be transmitted:
American history Is rich In heroism, and
no son of America ever deserved the cpl
tibet Heroic more perfectly than Walter
O. Gresham, for his courage was as unset
fish as his honor was stainless"
The obituary of Secretary Gresham pub
lished by the London Times says that he
possessed singular personal charm of
character, and was sincere and straightfor-
ward and manly in all his dealings.

The annual May ball Of the Langdon
dancing class took place last evening In
Langdon Hall, large and select company
being in attendance. There were sixteen
numbers on the program, including many
of the latest and best figures. The interest
centered in the prize waltzing contest, for
which there were six entries: Raymond
Bentzler of Washington and Miss Hattie
Grimes, ]. W. Watson, jr.. and Miss Edith
Crimes John Stoll and Miss Lidia Heit-

Gaegler, Walter E. Dewey and Miss Minnie
Grimes and Chas. w. Boyce and Miss Mag
gle Hanlon of Washington. Profs. Henry
Glotzback, Henry Hanlon and B. A. Soper,
all of Washing ton, were selected as judges.
After the first contest, it being discovered
that one Of the contestants was blood
relative of at least one of the judges, the
management ordered the waltz to be
danced over again. and two judges were
added to the number already appointed.
Messrs. Stoll, Willis and Bentzler were
dropped after the second trial, and the
judges ordered the other three couples to
waltz again. The judges were then unable
to reach decision, and six new judges
were selected. These latter, after much
discussion of the merits of the dancers. all
of whom were admitted to have done well,
were evenly divided between Dewey and
Watson, finally resorting to a popular vote
of all who witnessed the contest to decide
which of the couples named should receive
the gold medal. w. E. Dewey and Miss
Minnie Grimes were awarded the prize, the
gentleman receiving handsome gold med

the occasion being the annual hop and
strawberry festival Of the Stansbury
Lodge. The event proved success unpre-
cedented in the annals of the Masons' fes-
tivities. and it was evident from the num-
of visitors present that the home order does
rot lack friends. Among the first to arrive
was a four-in-hand "tally-ho' coach, bear
ing the officers of the lodge and party.
The majority of those from Washington,
however, came by the electric car line-a
delightful ride. There were many things
contrihutory to the success of the evening,
the attendance. of course. being the great
est. Delightful dance music was rendered
by Mr.. GustavuS Kuhn, jr., and his
chestra until a late hour. There was an
enticing strawberry supper Of luscious fruit,
prepared in every conceivable fashion. To
Mrs. A. S. Johnson, chairman Of the supper
committee, and her assistants Is due the
credit for the success of this feature of the
entertainment. AS the last strains of the

at the door, and when all had said hearty
farewell whirled the merrymakers home

Those Hyphennted and Absurd Names

Those Hyphenated and Absurd Names.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The editorial article in q recent number
ordinary and well-known proper names
and the misuse of the hyphen was both
called for and timely. The manner in
which old-fashioned and familiar christen-
ed names is being distorted nowadays.
especially by inconsiderate mammas and
foolish girls, and the idiotic hyphenating
connec ton Of two or more family names
that our silly apers after English fads
occasionally indulge in, are fast reaching
the proportions of nuisance.
Both absurdities ought to be stamped
out But how? Hardly by law; since the
law doesn't punish idiocy so long as 1t is
comparatively harmless. Public sentiment
can do 1t, however, promptly and eTectual-
ly, just 1t has put an end to the sight
obscuring theater hat and other like Of
fensive absurdities. And, as the press is
the most ready and effective exponent Of
public sentiment, the press can speedily
bring about reform in this respect. Just
let the conductors of newspapers give in
structions to their working forces to have
all proper names spelled correctly, according
to well-established usage, and also forbid
ding the use of the hyphen as compound
er OF family or surnames and the battle
will be half won. If those who indulge in
that sort Of thing can't enjoy seeing the
results of their novelty seeking folly in
print they will soon give up the fad.
Will not The Star and the other Wash
ington papers take the lead in this praise-
worthy cause and help along the cause Of
COMMON SENSE?
