the court released him on his own recog-
nzance.
Edward simms drank some cheap whisky
Saturday night and then slept ON the side
walk. He now understands that Uncle
Sans charge for lodging is So.
John Woodward, a colored man who Is
employed on the Baltimore electric road,
was in the procession because he went to
the house of a cofored woman Saturday
tight and wanted lodgings.
His claim was that he had been sent
there by the woman's husband and he said
he thought anybody ought to give him a
nights lodgings for % cents.
Judge Kimball accepted his personal
bonds.
Sarah Broadus and Jessie swailes, colorel
women, plead guilty to a charge of disor
derry conduct and went down in default of
fine.

of two boys when the clerk read a charge

boys, who gave his name as Charles Power.
The boy said he worked at the bricl>yarls

His companion also made a statement,
and the judge released them.

Martha Deane, a colored woman, who is al
so known as Eliza Mcdonald.
The charge against her was obstructng
the sidewalk with her person and her lack
of memory was due to liquid refreshments
in which she had INDUCED.
Policeman Richards recollected the cir

The Senate.

The poll of the Senate shows forty-three
votes against free coinage. In addition to
this. there are six Senators-Bacon, Baker,
Caffery. Mcbride. Martin and Wilson
whose position is somewhat ia doubt, but
who are believed to be not unfavorable to
sound money. The silver men can muster
only thirty-nine votes, but this number will
doubtless be increased by two when Utah
comes into full statehood.
According to the report Of the chamber
of commerce committee, there will be
thirty-nine free silver men in the Senate:
Utah, of course. may add two but against
these there will probably be lapses from
the ranks. Senator Mills of Texas. who
was supposed to he the Achilles of the sill
verites, has come out on the sound money
side, and other deserttons are expected.
Here is a list of the free silver Senators:
Allen. Bate, Berry, blackburn. BLANCHARD cha,
Butler. Call, Canefon. Carter. Chiffon, Clark,
Cockrell. Daniel, Dubois. George, Hans

Saturday evening the congregation of ST.
Matthew's Episcopal Church. on NJ and Half

ence," as illustrated by the rea illness with
which st. Matthew obeyed the call of Christ;
by the Rev. Mr.. Bourne of Grace Church.

Opening Of Two Departments of the
Columbian University.
PRESIDENT WHITMAN'S ADDRESS
He Defines in Graphic Way the
Duties of the Students.
AT T. HE ACAD MY

Columbian College began the scholastic
year Of 1895 and '96 this morning with
simple exercises In the public lecture hall
of the Columbian University at 18th and
H streets. Shortly before o'clock the
young ladies and gentlemen who had made
application for admission to the various
courses assembled in the auditorium, and
President Whitman. the members of the
faculty. Rev. DIR. Stakely and Secretary
and Treasurer Robert H. Martin took
seats upon the stage. A moment later
Rev. DR.. A. ]. Huntington stepped forward
and expressed pleasure at meeting the
students at the beginning of another au-
spicioCs year, both for himself personally
and for the faculty. He believed that a
Few career of prosperity and usefulness
had opened for Columbian University in all
Its departments, and that an important as
surance CT the truth of this could be found
in the selection Of DIR. b. l.. Whitman as
the president. He was sure the very great
success that had crowned DIR. Whtman's
efforts in the past at Colby University and
the other institutions with which he had
been connected would be repeated in mis-
new positit n. He then introduced Presi-
dent Whitman to the students.
President Whftmnn's Magnetism.
1t was easy to see that DIR. Whitman
made a splendid impression upon the young
ladies and gentleme who were present
the moment he stepped forward and began
to speak. His TALL erect and commanding
figure. his particularly pleasant and at
tractive face, his easy and graceful man
ner, ard his full, deep, rich and resonant
voice. that now dwelt with emphasis upon
the serious side of the students life and
duty, and again grew genial with fun and
hunor, all combined to make personality

Refined camphor within the last week or
two has been rapidly rising in price, until
its final jump has landed it to 90 cents per
pound for gum camphor by the barrel, and
81 cents per pound by the case. 1t was
only a short time ago that refined cam
phor was a drug on the. market at 80 cents
a pound. Speaking of the condition of the
market a representative of one of the larg-
est drug establishments in this city said:
The present fabulous price of the refined
product is attributed to the cornering of the
supply by Col North, the Nitrate King of
London, who is at the head of the syndi-
material on the Island Of Formosa, from
which the principal supply comes. The
war bewteen China and Japan afforded an
opportunity for speculation in camphor. and
the product has been quietly bought up
and held for higher prices. Since the price
of refined camphor was quoted at 81 cents
rer pound its use has steadily decreased.
Many substitutes, like cedar, tar, carbolic
acid and naphtha, with their combinations.
have been to a great extent used for pre-
servative and anti-moth purposes. On ac-
count of the high price the available sup
ply in this country has steadily diminished,
and the total quantity now on hand is con-
siderably less than that Of previous years.
The crude camphor Is obtained from Incl
sions made in tree which grows largely
in Formosa, the sap oozing out and harden
ing when exposed to the air."

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Lorenzo Brown Used Pistol Too
Recklcsxly.

Lorenzo Brown Used Pistol Too
Recl<lcsxly.
Lorenzo Brown, an able-bodied colored
man, might have been at work today had
he let liquor alone, but he could not let it
alone and instead of being at work he was
in the lookup He stood before Judge Kim
ball, listened to the reading of paper
charging that he had endeavored to kill a
fellow man named Walter Long, and he
answered guilty"
This man." said Prosecuting Attorney
Mullwney, Ought to be required to give
81 900 security. He shot at this man. and
when he thought he had killed him, he
turned and shot at two women"
Brown lives at 81 G street northeast, and
Saturday night, when he got his weeks
pay he patronized bar rooms and paid
So 80 for a pistol and about fifty rounds of
ammunition. Annie Payne and Walter
Long were visitors at the Brown house,
and after firing at the latter Brown turned
upon the Payne woman and his wife.
Policemen Creagh and Walsh arrested
him and relieved him Of his pistol and
cartridges. After considerable trouble they
landed him behind the bars.
Judge Kimball fixed bail at the amount
suggested and the prisoner was committed.

An Old Fighter.

Mark Baker, colored citizen, who has
lived more than the allotted three score
years and ten, was prisoner in the Police
Court this morning, the charge against him
being assault. Arthur Brooks, robust col
ored man, made complaint against him, and
in support of the charge he exhibited his
head, on which there was large scar.
This had been inflicted by the old man with
a large club. And according to the evil
dence there was no justification for his
conduct.
Arthur Brooks has been acquainted in the
Baker family for a long time, and a week
ago yesterday he met several of the Bakers
on an electric car.
Just what was the trouble between them
or how it started did not come out in the
testimony, but one thing Is certain-the old
man dealt Brooks blow on the head.
But" he said, Il didn't strike him till he
hit me-"
"You are too old to fight" the judge told
him, land 1 don't want to send you to jail y
Il know I'm too old to fight" said the old
man, land l only Tended for myself q.
Brooks said that he did not want the old
man sent to Jail, and Judge kimball re-
leased the latter on his personal bonds with
a warning.

The Fnkir's business Fit.

From the Springfield Republican.
The stragglers at the fair in the forenoon
saw some familiar driving horses paraded
on the track, but for the most part the
fakrs took attention, and they made things

the mouth and going through the usual
commissions, a great crowd gathered about
him, and there was much excitement for a
time, nearly every other booth being DESERT
ed temporarily.
He recovered in a few minutes and went
about his business, finding an immediate
demand for his wares sympathetic people

he could reach for them. This was rather
too much for one of the gentry, and in a
few minutes the crowd was startled by q

hour than he usually finds In day. At
ter the crowd left he gave a knowing wink
and remarked that that fellow over there
needn't think he's got any dead cinch on
fits, seer
