that the silver Republicans have return

Judge Tuley is logical in his state

son for the reversal Of sentiment and
why ne believes that the free coinage Of

and truthfully states that the largely

But Judge Tuley Is wiser than the

READY TO CELEBRATE
EMANCIPATION DAY
Preparations for the Annual
Parade Completed.
To Be Reviewed by President Nc
Kinley.
Formation of the Proccssion-Thret
Thousand Men Expected to
he In Line.

Yesterday was the thirty-fourth anni-
versary of the signing of the emancipation
proclamation by President Lincoln. AS
the day fell upon Sunday the usual cele-
bration will be held today.
Emancipation day has for over twenty
five years been a great day for the colored
population of the District The celebration
is more general here than in any other
city in the country, and great enthusiasm
is always exhibited
The parade is one of the features of the
year in Washington among the colored
people. Thousands of them, young and
old, every shade and degree, form great
portance parade around the city. 1t is the
one day of the year devoted exclusively 10
the colored population, and they make the
most of it,
The celebration this year will not be
marked by the noisy demonstrations which
have characterized those of recent years.
For a long time nearly every prominent
colored man in the District wanted posi-
tion as marshal of a division or he would
not parade. These cravings for rank often
resulted in merry wars which lasted even
for weeks at a time. This year the ar
rangements have been concluded with
comparatively little strife. and it is ex-
pecieQ tnal the parade VIII De u success
fully quiet affair.
The celebration is being superintendent
by the Emancipation Celebration and His
torical Association of this city. The grand
chief marshal, with his aides, will assemble
at 110 d Street southeast, at 8 a. m. The
first. second, and third divisions will be
commanded by Capt. W. B. Sims, Marshal
y. T. Branling, and Marshal I. A. Brown.
The parade will form on New Jersey
Avenue northwest, at 10:30 a. m. The body
will be headed by n platoon of mounted
police. and starting at noon will march to
Pennsylvania Avenue, and thence to the
Executive Mansion. Here the parade will
be reviewed By The President and the Dis
irict Commissioners The line will then
proceed dowr-Prnusslyani Avenue to the
Peace Monument and thence to Delaware
Avenue and Il Street, where disbandment
will take placeE
President Ferguson and the officers of the
Emancipation Association will head the pa
rade in carriages. 1t is expected that at
least 5000 colored men will be in line.
From the aged negro who saw slavery TO
the rising youth, every member of the race
will take some part in the celebration to-
morrow, and as a result the sun is ex-
pected TO outdo himself in brilliancy. and
the day will be one of unadulterated pleas
ure.

RIDER CASTLE MYSTERY.
Police Make No Progress In Solving,
This Puzzling Case.

There were practically no new develop
ments in the Rider Castle" mystery yes
terday, and if anything, the police are
now at a greater loss than ever for a
substantial clew, having exhausted all the
theories at hand, without establishing any
thing definite The colored man. Walter
Butler. is still under arrest at the Sixth
precinct station house and while there is
no evidence against the man, he Will prob
ably be held until after the inquest, which
has been postponed Indefinitely.
The jury impaneled by Coroner Carr
Friday assembled at the Sixth precinct
station house Saturday and viewed the de-
composed remains, after which they were
excused until such time the police have
made sufficient progress in the case to
hold an inquest After the jury had been
excused Coroner Carr suggested to the po-
lice that portion, or portions, of the
body be turned over to District Chemist
]. d. Hird for an analysis. The suggestion
was followed and by today the police will
be in receipt of the facts developed by
Prof Hird.
The analysis is in pursuance of the
theory advanced by Major Sylvester, that
the body found was that of woman who
had died from natural causes and had
been disinterred by grave robbers to be
disposed of TO a medical college. Major
Sylvester is of The. opinion that the sup
posed cadsyer became n drug on the hands
of the grave robbers and that they hid il
in the vault at Riders Castle rather
than take chance at being detected in
attempting to reinter 1t. II, as Major Syl-
vester srpposes, the body was in the
hands of grave robber it was embaimed
by him to preserve ii for use on dis
secting table. The object of the analysis
by Prof. Hird is TO establish this facf
If an embalming or preserving fluid wa
used on the body the analysis will dis
close 1t.
Detectives McNamee. Boyd and Muller
were hard at work yesterday hunting uy
former residents of Riders Castle" and
succeeded in locating everyone who is
known 10 have lived there at any time
during the past TWO years. They have es-
iablished the existence OF fully twenty
five persons. whom IL was thought might
be dead and the death never reported
Among those whom the detectives located
was Rachel Short who was known as
| 'kiondike' and who was at first thought
TO be the dead woman. The Short woman
was located at reformatory at Jessup',
Cut. Md, where she has been incarceratef
since November. serving n fifteen months
sentence. The locating of 'Klondike" ex
hausts all theories but the one now upde
investigation by Prof. Hird. and In th,
event of that one establishing that III,
body was not embalmed the police will
be as much at sea as they were whe,
the body was found.

coRDwooD BURNED.
Policeman Hunt Loses Large
Amount OF Fuel.

Policeman A. b. Hunt, of the Second
precinct, is the victim of an unfortunate
circumstance, by which he lost by fire 4iS
cords of wood valued at S. per cord. The
fire occurred at Hunts farm, located oa
Sheriff road about one mile from Land
over, Nd, last Wednesday, and was the
result of carelessness on the part of Ia
borers employed in clearing the farm OF
brushwood.
Hunt purchased the farm several months
ago. and since taking possession of it has
been engaged in cutting wood which was
piled on the place in cord stacks. 1t was
mis- intention to dispose OF the wood and
with the proceeds obtained from the sale
! to pay of the mortgage which incumbered
the farm. The gross receipts from the
sale of the wood would have amounted to
50 090.
Wednesday Hunt employed laborers to
clear the farm of all brushwood and weeds.
Fire was employed as the most expedi
| tious and efficaeious method of completing
the work. The high wind which prevailed
at the time blew the flying sparks from
| the brushwood TO the woodpile, ses-
| ting it on fire. The attention of the la
borers was at once directed to fighting the
burning woodpile, but despite their ef-
| forts il was totally destroyed.

THE Object of Mans Existence
The speaker held that as man is mercy

position, he is not different from any other
form of organic matter and only exists
for the same end which animates tae entire

The speaker stated that the true, fnnda-

and that the object of life is reproduction.
Man does not differ from any other or

ton is the primary motive OF all biotic

In anticipation of the greatly increased
trade which this country will have with
Cuba and Porto Rico, there has sprung up
since the an interest in Spanish short
hand which has hitherto cut only a small
figure in commercial correspondence MANY
stenographers, thinking that they saw an
opportunity to add to their earning capaci-
ty, have been making Inquiries regarding
systems of Spanish photography, and some
of them are already studying hard at the
subject. 1t is true that there is a growing
demand now for stenographers who are
thoroughly competent to take shorthand
notes IN Spanish. The consul in this city of
one of the South American countries said
the other day that he had been asked bv
several prominent firms here which do a
large business with the West Indian Islands
