Lungs This treatment is not new In the true
sense Of the word but in the past two years the

GENERAL INABILITY COMMANDED.
Yesterdays Defeat Of the Washing-
tons by the Boston Forces.

Yesterdays Defeat of the WashinE-
tons by the Boston Forces.
In the engagement between the Boston
and Washington forces yesterday the lat
ter were commanded by General Inability,
and his control over his men when at the
firing point was very effective, his influ<
ence preventing any serious injury being
inflicted the enemy, particularly at
points in the contest when good marksman
ship was most necessary. On the other
hand, the battery of the invading force
was almost perfectly worked. under the
command of Mr. Willis, who. but junior
officer, displayed the knowledge of a vet
eran and landed shot after shot. The de-
tenders OF Washington wptked their bat
terry under the command OF Gunner Amole,
and had his work at the commencement Of
the engagement been effective as wheE
defeat stared his followers in the face,
victory would, in all probability, have
perched in their neighborrePd. But it was
"a desperately fought aattla, and had the
run out in the ninth Sharge, and had not
errors been made easier in the contest
but that is another story.
The visitors opened up on Amole in the
first inning, two hits, Il base balls and
a pretended steal giving them three runs.
In the third hit. a WILD pitch, a sacrifice
and a long fly added another to their score.
They got two more in the fifth and another
in the eighth on hits and one or two errors.
The Senators did not score until the fifth
inning. when a single~and two bad throws
gave them two runs - They obtained an
other in the next inning, Doyle placing the
ball in the bleacheps. In the last inning
McGuires grounder was juggled by Lowe,
and a moment later allowed him to reach
second on Wrigleys bounder the latter
going out. Wagner went out he having
succeeded Reitz, who split his head in col
llsion with Tenry. and Brown went to first
on balls, stole second and both men scored
on Farreils single, who battcd for Amole
Seihach closed the contest with a fly to
Collins. Score:

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Surprise Expressed at Decision of Com.
missiOners Respecting Corporation Notes.
RuilciHE Operations and Transfers OF
Real Estnte-scrap ON Herring
Hill Other News.

The reply of the Commissioners to letter
Of Mr.. A. c. Dunn that the notes issued by
the old corporation of Georgetown are now
worthless, has been received with good
deal of surprise by the old residents Of this
section. Mr.. Dunn in his letter inclosed an
old 50 note issued by the Georgetown city
authorities, when this section Of the Dis
trict was separate municipality, and ask
ed that the Commissioners redeem it. 1t is
argued that when Georgetown was merged
into portion of Washington the latter
city became responsible for all legitimate
debts 1t is known that at the time Of the
consolidation Georgetown had quite a large
sinking fund on hand. This place was far
from being a bankrupt locality, and its
financial affairs were much better off than
those of Washington. The notes issued in
years gone by, under proper qualifications.
are regarded to be just as binding at pres
ent as they were when Georgetown was
separate city. 1t is perhaps proper to add
that only few of the old notes are still
outstanding Most OF those now out are
held by collectors, the great bulk of the
notes having long since been redeemed.
Pernits Obtained.
Joseph Schlaat has received q permit to
blockade the sidewalk in front of 1896 32d
street, pending improvements being made
to the building. The present structure will
be thoroughly overhauled, new front
placed in. and the height made to conform
with the building next door, known as the
West Washington Hotel.
Martin 3. Lichty has permission to re-
build the entrance to 1919 P street, without
enlarging or increasing the present projec-
tons.
John Crowley has a permit for the re-
building of the show window at the south
west corner Of :}2d and streets under due
conditions regulating the construction Of
such.
W. H. Rackey has given out the contract
for building a two-story private stable in
| the rear of 1896 Potomac street.
Arrests Made.
There were lively times Saturday night
on that portion Of Herring Hill'' near 9th
and streets. A crowd of colored men be-
came involved in a general fight, during
which several pistol shots We're fired and
razors and knives drawn, though so far as
known no one was injured. Policemen
| Saunders and Grove secured the names Of
| the leading members of the party, and this
morning at 3 o'clock arrested nearly all of
\ the participants. Their names are Lam
donis johnson, aged sixteen; Fred Jones,
| aged nineteen; Joseph Perry, aged twenty
| one; Frank Dixon. aged twenty -nine Rob-
ert Blackburn. aged thirty, and Paul
Wright. aged twenty-five.

A hearing on the plea of abatement filed
by Frank H. Miles, indicted for embezzle-
ment, will occur tomorrow before Chief
Justice Bingham In Criminal Court No. l.
Miles was formerly a clerk in the employ
of the District government. His arrest was
for alleged embezzlement in connection
with the issuance of tax certificates. The
grand jury reported an indictment against
him Frank o. Miles. This gave way 40
a second presentment, the only difference
being the change of the name to Frank
Herbert Miles. When arraigned uncer tie
second indictment Miles declined to plead,
on the ground that his first name is Frank
lin, not Frank. His counsel thereupon filed
a plea in abatement.

Base Ball NOteS.

Rain prevented the New York-Baltimors
game.
Arthur Wagner relieved Second Baseman
Reitz after the third inning yesterday and
played exceptionally well, taking care of
everything that came his way. Wagner is
not quite himself yet. but he is good
player and will very soon prove his value
to the club.
Amo,e pitched fairly good game, but
Willis did better. Had the Senators been
in batting trim different story would
very likely have been told today of yes
terday's game.
That catch Of Sclbach's in the. seventh
inning was a corker, and goes into the
sensational class. If the little German Sem
ator will cross the grand stand out of his
observations his work will be fully % per
cent better at the end of the season.
The Senators left for Brooklyn last night,
and will open a series of four games on
the BridegroomS' grounds today. Winnie
Mercer will probably do the twirling to-
day and will most likely have Joe Yeager,
the Atlantic Lacquer of last year, as his
opponent the rubber.
The advantage Of the double umpire rule
was never better proved than by the
absence of Umpire Curry in Mondays
game. 1t is perhaps too much to expect
of one umpire that he should decide close
base plays at distance. There were three
decisions Monday by Snyder against the
home team in close succession, two Of
which. at least, would have been different
had there been a base umpire. Wrigey
was called out at second, while one of the
Boston players who was where the umpire
should have been declared that the runner
was on the base when he was touched
When Doyle was declared out at first base
the base umpire would not have been put
ting on his pal with his back to the play
when it was made. Captain Brown was
put out of the game for insisting upon the
claim that the Umpire didn't see the play.

CHAMPION RELAY RUNNERS.
Central High School Team Victorious
at Philadelphia.

Again the Central High School boys have
won the title of the champion scholastic
mile relay team of the country. Their vic
tory, Saturday, at the annual spring meet
of the University of Pennsylvania, at
Philadelphia, over the Central High School
Of Brooklyn, the Central High School of
Philadelphia, and the Central and North
east Manual Training School of Philadel-
phia was as easily won as was that of last
year, although the time for the mile was
slower by five seconds than was made last
year-3.41. The cause Of the slow time
was due to the strong wind that was blow
ing and from the fact that the boys were
not pushed, finishing fifty yards in adj
vance of the Central High School of Phil
adelphia. which received second place. The
team was made up of G. W. Curtiss. cap
tain; c. d. Young. w. G. Stuart, P. Wit
son and Roy Shaffold. Captain Curtiss.
who ran the second quarter, Is the local
High School champion for the pole vault,
running high jump and two-twenty hurdles.
Stuart, who is the local High School cham
plon for the half and one mile runs, ran
fourth. Young, who has the record for the
one hundred and two hundred and twenty
yard daShes, ran second, and Wilson,
new man. who has fine material for
good runner, ran first. Last years team
was made up of Harry Ruff, Hyder e.
Farrow. George Curtiss. Charlie Young and
William Stuart, so this years team has
only two new men.
The boys reached Washington yesterday
morning at Z 30 O'Clock and were received
by bowling mob of enthusiastic students
who extended to them a royal welcome.
On the opening of school yesterday morn
ing the students assembled in the exhioi-
ton hall and to the team was formally ex-
tended the wishes. ana good will Of the
students by Principal Hughes. The mem
ners OF the team individually addressed
the students.

A Valuable whist Partner.

One of the most brilliant pairs of the re-
cent woman's whist congress at Philadel-
phia did not qualify FOR the finals, on ac-
count of the indisposition of Miss de ST.
bour Of this city. who was unable to play
the second night. In the consolation match
Thursday night she and Mr.. Wooten made
the highest score in their section. Wooten
claims that she is the equal Of any partner
he has ever had, and that her intuition of
the line of play her partner wishes to adopt
enables her to sensibly second all his ef-
sorts.
