DECLINES TO PROSECUTE.
Miss Cannon Prefers Not to appear
Again as Witness.

Miss Nora Cannon, the young woman
who was so brutally assaulted in vacant
bouse on South Capitol street about two
weeks ago as published in The Star at the
time, has written letter to the police
saying she has no desire to prosecute Elias
Delaver, the colored man who is charged
with the crime. The reason given is that
she does not care to go through the or
deal of appearing on the witness stand in
the Criminal Court and undergo a cross
examination, her experience in the Police
Court being very trying to her nerves
Sergeant Daley. who received the letter.
sent her an answer. advising her that IL
she had made no mistake about the identi-
hcaticn she would better return ard prose-
cute the case If she had made a mistake
he advised that she so inform District At
torney Davis, so that the coored man may
be released.
AT the time of Delaver's arrest The police
thought there had probably been a mis-
take made, but the proof against him was
conclusive, and Judge Kimball held him
in S2c5D bail for the grand jury. Before
the witnesses were summoned to appear
before the grand jury Miss Cannon went
to New York. and in the letter received by
Sergeant Daley she gave her address as
No 800 West 22d street. Until something
additional is heard from her nothing will
be done in the case.

INDIAN DEGENERATION.
DR.. Eastman Pictures the Eject cf
Learning the Vices

DR.. Charles A. Eastman the ful!-blooded
Sioux Indian. whose marriage several years
ago to Elaine Gooda,e, the poetess, occa-
stoned so much comment, made an address
before the Y. NJ. c. a. yesterday afternoon
on THE Moral Effect of the Indian Young
Mans Physical Training on His Uncivilized
Life
The speaker reviewed the work being
done among the Indians by the forty-three
branches of the Y. NJ. c. A. now estab-
lished among them. and then contraste the
Indian of the past with the present. Before
the whites invaded Indian lands. he said
the Indian had but one object in view-to
become a great warrior-and to accomplish
this he abstained from all physical excesses
and worked to make himself strong anC
enduring. The Indian thus became Il splen.
did physical specimen. After his life was
changed the inspiration for strengthening
himself was taken from him.
Fire water was sold him by the white
traders. he became accustomed and attach
ed to the vices of civilization and the most
complete change has been wrought in his
splendid physique. The warrior of today
is but a degenerate scion of the warrior
who contested foot by foot the invasion of
this continent by the white man. He
drinks, he uses tobacco excessively, in
physique he is weak and of abnormal pro-
portions. and he is leading life which in
many cases only tends to increase his phys
ical and moral infirmitieS.
DR.. Eastman's remarks were listened to
by a large audience.

SALOONS ANO SOLDIERS.
No Liquor Can BE Sold to Men in Uni
form, SO the Police Say.

The lieUtenants in charge of the various
police precincts were ordered Saturday TO
instruct their men to enforce the law of
1861, which forbids the selling of liquor to
soldiers, sailors or marines In uniform The
officers accordingly, when they went on
duty, notified all the saloon keepers on
their beats of the determination on the
part of the District authorities to enforce
the law, and this morning, to all appear
ances, Washington is a dry town for men
in uniform. The saloon keepers have not
yet determined whether they will fight the
law or not, but there seems to be a general
inclination among them to reach an agrca-
ment by which a test case can be brought
and the question finally decided and it is
probable this will be the course followed.
Few soldiers from Camp Alger We're in
town today, and several of these who we're
interrosated by a Star reporter stated that
the law of 1891 did not affect them one way
or the other, they did not drink. Two
or three others. however, winked shrewdly
WREN asked what they thought about the
enforcen. .cnt of the law, and followed the
winks with broad grins, Indicating that
they evidently knew that the law wouldn' t
affect them either.
