Forty new members We're admitted to
the Union Republican Club at the meeting
last night at Wizards Hotel. President
Thomas J. LASER was in the chair. 1t was
decided that banner should be stretched
across the avenue from the hotel, provided
permission could be obtained from the au-
thorities. special committee was ap-
pointed to purchase banner to cost about
$780, Colonel w. w. Dudley presented an
informal report from the executive COM
mlttee urging the members to work for
the best interests of the party, without
attempting to promote the interests of
individual presidential candidates It was
decided tkat prominent speakers should
be invited to address the club at its regular
monthly meeting. Appropriate resolutions
concerning the death of General Green Clay
Smith were passed. The thanks of the club
were voted to Senator Chandler for his
donation Of 10000 copies of his speech on
the principles of the republican party.

was employed after his graduation in Nor
riscn's book store and at the same time
perfected himself in the then novel art OF
stenography. His ability in this direction
soon became marked, and he quickly came
to be regarded as one Of the most expert
shorthand writer's in the country.
At the age of twenty he was employed
as stenographer in court work, in commit
tee work in Congress, and in the various
commissions established by Congress for
the settlement of claims resulting from
the civil war In 1875 he joined the survey
of the Rocky mountain region, under Major
J. W. Powell. which organization gave a
large share of attention to the Indian
tribes, and from that time until 1880 he
was almost continuously in the west
among the native tribes, engaged in tabu-
lating vocabularies of their language and
collecting tales of their weird mythology.
The successful investigator in this line
must spend many sleepless and weary
nights, often go hungry and wet. and ex-
perience hardships in which only the en-
thusiasm born of genuine love of science
cen sustain him, and during these years
Mr.. Pilling overtaxed his strength.
When, in 1881, Major Powell succeeded
Mr. Clarence King in the directorate Of the
present United States geological survey,
Mr.. Pilling was made chief clerk He did
not, however, abandon his ethnologic re-
searches, but, as member OF the bureau
Of ethnolcgy, also, he continued till his
death to give to ethnologc and linguistic
work all the time and strength he could
command, and this sufliced to enable him
to catalogue and index the literature re-
lating to the languages of nearly all the
indians of North America.
Amorg them were photographers of the
Siouan, Eskimo, Iroquoian. Muskhogean
Atnapascan, Wakashan, Salishan. Chi
nookan and Algonquin languages. The lat
ter Is regarded one of the most I'M
portant chronological works in existence,
and the portion of 1t published separately
and devoted to Eliots Indian Bible is high
ly regarded by scholars. At the time of his
death Mr. Piling had just completed
guage, which will be published as soon as
1t Is indexed. These works gave him
worldwide reputation among scholars, and
in their preparation he studied and col
iected material in the libraries of Paris,
London, Berlin, as well as In the important
public and private libraries in this country.
Mr.. Pilling leaves a widow, who was
Miss Minnie Harper, the stepdaughter of
the late Judge Paschal, and a little daugh-
j. w. Pillng. The remains were brought
to Washington and the funeral will take
place from the family residence No. 1913
10th street northwest, Monday morning at
IL o'clock The honorary pallbearers will
be the late associates of the deceased in
the bureau of ethnology, while the active
pallbearers will be members of the geologi-
cal survey.
Mr. Pilling was a member of many learn
ed and scientific societies throughout the
world, including all of those in this city,
and member of the Cosmos Club with
which he has been affiliated since it's or
ganization.

Attack the Will.

William Burns of Winona, Mimi. Mary
Long of Chicago. and Bridget Walsh of the
same city, have filed a caveat in the matter
of the estate of the late James Burns.
The petitioners are children of the de-
ceased. and they allege that a will offered
recently for probate by Margaret ]. Burns,
the third wife of James Burns and pur-
porting to be his last will, was not signed by
him or by any other person at his direc-
ton. but was procured by Margaret Burns
by undue influence practiced upon her hus-
band at time when his mental condi-
ton was such as to be unable to resist such
influence. 1t is asked that the will in cues
ton be annulled and set aside.

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW
Ex-Representative Pendleton Talks on the
Return of Business Prosperity
lie Thinks 1t Will Break the Back
ment-Democratfc Prospects.

Ex-Representative Pendleton of West Vir-
ginia is an optimist in his views of the
prospects of the democratic party, the
financial question from the point Of a sound
money man. and of the future prospects of
the country at large.
Prosperity has already returned in West
Virginia, especially in the Ohio valley"
said Mr.. Pendeton to a Star reporter to-
day, after having spent some time at his
home in Wheeling. In Wheeling and along
the Ohio valley the mills are all at work.
and wages of the men have been increased
simply because the business outlook has
warranted such action on the part Of manu-
facturers. 1 think, too, the mill owners are
acting on the principle that they can get
a great deal better results from a force of
well-paid and contented men than from a
force of discontented men. On the Ohio
side, at Youngstown, there is an actual
scarcity CT workmen. Every mill in Wheel
ing is in full operation except a couple of
glass works. which have been shut down
for two years as the result of strike.
To Break the, Backbone Of Free silver
II feel confident" continued Mr.. Pendle-
ton, that If the present prosperity receives
no setback the backbone of the free silver
movement will be broken, and that next
year the only advocates of free and I'M
limited coinage of silver left in West Vir-
ginia and in the country at large will be
a few cranks. In northern West Virginia,
about Wheeling, there is predominance of
sound money sentiment now. In the middle
part Of the state the opinion of the public
may be on the side of free silver, while
along the southern borders of West Vir-
ginia Is the stronghold of the free silver
people. But,as / said. continued prosperity
is destined to destroy the power of the free
silver movement.
The Democrncy's Opportunity.
IF the democratic party is wise enough
to nominate a sound money man and to
adopt n sound money platform, I believe
it will sweep the country in 1896. The re-
publicans are endeavoring in West Vir-
GINA to impress the people with the idea
that our returning prosperity is the result
of the election of a republican Congress,
but the democrats were blamed for the
hard times as the result of the passage of
the Wilson bill, they should in fairness
be given the credit for our prosperity. In
fact, the prosperous outlook in Wheeling
is unprecedented. Usually, many of the
mills close down in July and August but
this year the demand for iron and steel
manufactures is SO great that it will be
necessary to keep the mills running during
these months
Mr.. Perdleton will remain in the city
until next week, when he will return to
Wheeling.

TOM JOHN SON'S IDEi
He Wants Senators Chosen by Popular
Vote.
His Aim is to "Down" Brfce and Get
Himself Into the
Senate.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 27.-Political
zephyrs blowing off from the sea of public
opinion in this section are beginning to toy
playfully with the political whiskers of
Senator Calvin s. Brice. There is but one
man in Ohio who has had the courage to
say that the democratic state convention.
which meets in Springfield, ought to
step aside from the beaten path and
adopt resolution favoring the nomination
Of United States Senator by the people.
The man who has dared to make this prop
osition is exCongressman Tom l.. john
son, who viii go into the Springfield con-
ventfon with the avowed intention of
downing" Senator Brice.
The democratic state convention is GER
tam to be the scene of a sharp party con-
test. While the silver question will create
considerable interest, it will be but a minor
feature of the party meeting. The conven-
ton In this county will meet August H.
and will be in favor of free silver. Tom
johnson will head the delegation in all
probability. Mr.. Johnson is not for free
silver, but it is thought that he will sacri-
flee his convictions on this occasion If he
can only secure the passage of resolu-
ton by the convention favoring the nomi-
nation OF Senator by the people. Some of
Mr.. Johnsons enemies are uncharitable
enough to say that he himself is anxious
to wear the shoes that Senator. Brice now
mas on. Mr.. Johnson has not denied the
soft Impeachment and it will not surprise
the democrats of northern Ohio if he SHES
his castor into the political arena again
and appears as an active candidate for the
United States Senate to succeed Senator
Brice.
The expressed determinatio on the part
of the free silver democrats at the recent
silver conference at Columbus, to favor a
resolution looking toward the recommended
ton of senatorial candidate, as named by
convention ha
given Mr.. johnson renewed hope, and
strong action on the part of his pet scheme
will doubtless be taken in this section of
Ohio.

Death OF LIEUT.. WATKINS.
Valued Member of Capitol Force Ex-
pfres Suddenly.


Moses F. Watkins, one of the three
lieutenants of the Capitol police, died sud
denly this morning at his boarding house.
81 street southeast Some days ago he
was attacked with cholera morbus, and
suffered severely. He returned to duty,
however, and continued to work, although
he had not fully recovered. For the past
few days he has been troubled with stom-
ach affection, and last night suffered from
pain in the region of the heart. A ply
stefan was called, ard Mr. Watkins told
him if there was any danger of death he
wanted to be Informed frankly, as in such
an event he would take the train for his
home in Tennessee so he could die there.
The doctor laughed at his fears, and told
him that it was simply neuralgia that was
troubling him. This morning he went
down to breakfast, but felt SO Ill that he
returned to his room. When one Of the
shortly before nine o'clock, to see how he
was, the servant announced that Mr.. Wat
kins was sleeping. She went to the room,
mediately called down stairs in an excited
manner for help. The lieutenant hurried
upstairs and found Mr.. Watkins lying on
his face unconscious. He shook him, but
could get no response, and after he had
been turned over, there was a sudden con-
vulslon OF the body and the man was dead.
Almost Immediately there was a great suf-
fusion of blood under the skin of the head
and neck, indicating that death was due
to apoplexy.
Lieut. Watkins was appointed on the
Capitol police force in August, 1893, from
South Plttsburg, Tennessee, where, for
some years, he had served as a city mar
shall. He was regarded as an excellent Of
ficer, and had made splendid record ever
since he Joined the force. He was forty
four years of age, and leaves wife and
seven children in South Pittsburg. Mrs
Watkins was notified by telegraph today
by Col. Bright the sergeant-at-arms Of
the Senate, Of her husbands death. The
remains will be embalmed and sent to
Tennessee as soon as possible.
