SONS OF VETERANS ADJOURN
Next Encnmpment to BE Held at For.
M:ur-.c.


The last session of the thirteenth annual
encampment of the Maryland division OF
the Sons Of Veterans was held today in
the MaccaSee Hall. A large amount of
business was transacted, and division of
fcers for the ensuing year were elected.
The following were elected 10 office: C. S.
NEitmore, of Washington, commander;
Roscoe c. White, Frederick senior vice
commander; Past Capt. II. H. Henry. OF
Phoebus, Va, junior vice commander: Miles

gress be petitioned 10 name the 1st of May
Dewey Day and pass legislation designating
It as a national holiday was defeated 1t
was objected to on the ground that the
Sons Of Veterans was already fathering a
project having as its object the observance
of Lincoln's birthday as a national boli-
day. After lengthy debate it was finally
decided that the Dewey Day project would
interfere with Lincoln Day observance. and
that it was best TO postpone the matter.
The session today lasted until after
O'Clock on account of the large amount of
business on hand TO be finished. Many of
the delegates. although the business cf the
encampment is finished, will remain in the
city until after the Jubilee. The encamp-
ment has been one of the most enthusia 5tic
and successful held by the Sons of Veter-
ans of this division, and larger number of
delegates have been in attendance.

Jubilee Notes.

Lieut.. s. L. Harmon was one Of General
Hawleys aides in the military pageant
yesterday.
The crowds on the Avenuos prior. during.
and subsequent to the civic parade. were
even greater than yesterday every availa-
BILE foot CT sidewalk space being occupied
by the bustling aggregation. The weather
was decidedly more favorable than yester-
day and, although the sun shone warmly.
the people waited through 1t all for the ad-
vent of the procession. The triangle at the
corner OF Seventh Street and the Avenue
was much sought on account Of its eleva-
tion and the base Of the equestrian statue
of General Hancock In the triangle was
occupied by boys and men as reviewing
stand. Many spectators carried camp stools
and chairs with them and placed them at
convenient points along the sidewalks
Once seated they waited the parade with
more comfort and were a source Of envy
to those who were not quite 80 thoughtful.
The Italian fruit venders, peanut, and
candy men and sandwich merchants are
reveling in the midst OF a harvest They
are reaping where they have not sown.
They did not contribute anything to the
Jubilee fund. but are nevertheless enjoy
ing more than the full benefits. N6twith-
standing the large increase in the number
OF merchants OF this character. the COM
petition is not great for the crowds are
hungry and nearly everyone who goes to
view the parades lays in a store OF fruits
and other edibles. such as are to be found
at almost every turn.

Mrs. Mckinley visited the grounds this
morning, in order to see the arrangements

THE Rosznsrz1n 1nauzsrs
Jaries Find That the Couple Died
From Fractured skulls.

From Fractured Skuais.
Two jurics Of inquest met in Baltimore
last night at the western police station to
enquire into the circumstanc -. attending
the deaths Of Mr.. and MES. Louis Rosen-
stein. who we're brutally 5assau,. cd on May

cbunty, and who subsequently Cied at the
Maryland University Hospital in Baltl-
more.
AS none Of the. witnesses from Rockville.

turie5. the inquests amounted practically
to very little. The only witness who was
heard by the juries was DR.. ". q. Keirle.
who made the pos. -.nortem examinations
on the bodies Of the victims OF the assault.
DIR. Keirle stated tfa. Mr.. Rosenstein's 3
death resulted from fracture OF the skull
on the right side, together with the tearing
Of the brain, and the formation on the
brain OF Hood clot. he also testified
that blood clot had formed on the left
side of the brain of Mrs. Rosenstein,
whose skull had also been fractured. the
fracture extending diagonally across the
head. Both victims, said the doctor. had
rough cuts on the lacks Of their heads.
Each of thi ju3cs rendered a verdict

COURT OF HONOR POPULAR.

People From All Parts of the COun-
try Gather to Admire 1t.
The streets and avenues of the Capital
City presented an animated picture
throughout the morning and early after
small degree to the pleasure Of the visitors.
and all points OF interest were thronged.
The Court of Honor. with its artistic and
patriotic decorations, was viewed and ad-
mired by many Of the Jubilee visitors.
Standing under the coats Of arms of their
respective States could be seen groups Of
men and women from all sections OF the
country. One fact that contributed TO the
popularity Of the Court of Honor was its
close proximity to the White House. State.
War and Navy Building. and the Treasury
Department. These structures were
thronged from the hour OF opening to noon,
when the crowds began to gather along
the route of the parade. Nature contribut-
ed much to make the beautiful Court OF
Honor appear even more attractive tnan 1t
did yesterday.
None of the decorations were removed
and the gentle breeZes caused the flags and
| colors to fiutter, thus showing the full
beauty Of their design. The trees and
grass in Lafayette Square and the White
House grounds never looked greener, and
formed an artistic contrast to the multi
colored pennants and flags that adorned
| the Court OF Honor. The sunlight brought
out in beautiful effect the various decora-
tions. The crowds fingered long to enjoy
the beautiful scene.
AS the hour of the parade approached the
stands lining the court began TO fill with
those wishing 20 view the grand spectacle
from this point of vantage. Camera en-
thusiasts were much in evidence within the
precincts OF the court. and every one of its
attractions was transferred to Photographic
films and plates. Souvenir venders found
this section of the Avenue particularly
profitable as the throng here seemed to be
more enthusiastic and patriotic than any
where else. The scene was one TO inspire
patriotism and the crowd gave vent TO its
feelings in many ways.
Everyone was adorned with some patri-
otic badge or coiors. Uniformed men were
much in evidence and never failed to at
tract the attention of the enthusiastic
throng. Men, women. and children could
be seen promenading up and down the
court and none Of its beauties escaped OBJ
seryation. the crowd was a good -natured
one and peace and happiness reigned su-
preme within the precincts OF the court.

A Nervous Lover.
From the Chicago Inter-occan.

Nrom the Chicago lnter-Occan)
There will be a wedding in North Chi
cago circles before summer, and all because
of letter and telegram. John is young
business man. whose duties frequently call
him out of town. For three years he has
been devoted to Mary. and every day Of
those three years a portion Of his time has
been spent in the perplexing question Of
how to make proposal Of marriage, and
that further perplexity common to all timid
suitors:
Does she really care for me?"
The other day John was sent to St. Louis
Being detained over the expected time. he
could not make his customary weekly call
on Mary and in writing a letter to explain
his absence, the courage he had so long
lacked came to his aid. and he made point
blank proposal that Mary bscome his wife.
He mailed the letter. and for about two
hours was one of the happest men in Mis-
souri,. Then he began to believe he had
been precipitate and was assailed with
doubt as to how his letter would be receiv-
ed That night he didn't sleep. He thought
all sorts Of things, and vainly wished he
could intercept the letter before it reached
her But that was manifestiy impossible.
1t was not until noon the next day that he
received an inspiration as he was passing a
telegraph Office. Rushing in, he seized q
blank and nervously penned the following:
Miss Mary -, Chicago. Mailed you
the wrong letter yesterday. Please do not
open. and deliver to me on my return
After that he breathed freer. at the same
time wondering il he hadn't played the
focl in not letting the matter stand. That
evening telegram was awaiting him in
his box at the hotel. 1t read:
John Swift. ST. Louis: No. you mailed
right letter. 1t was about time
And John didn't allow the storm to in
terfere with his return to Chicago.

RAILROAD TRAFFIC LARGE.
Surrounding Towns COntributinE to
the Holiday Population.


The second day OF the Jubilee has wit
messed no diminution in the number of
visitors from distant sections of the coun-
try Every regular train or the reads en-
tering Washington carries additional cars
which are filled with enthusiastic people
and an extraordinary number of special
trains cause worry and trouble to the train
dispatchers' forces. Trains from New
York. Philadelphia. Wilmington, and Bal
timore have been in many instances di-
vided into sections In order to carry the
crowds. Richmond and Petersburg are
both sending large delegations while Fred
erick. Hagerstown. Cumberland. and points
in the Shenandoah Valley are represented
by goodly portion OF each towns inhabi-
tants.
THE character CT the crowds which are
visiting the Jubilee is noticeably better
than the throngs which have come to the
city On many former occasions. With the
exception of the visitors from Baltimore
whose tickets are good only for one day.
the great majority of the visitors remain
in the city. 1t is difficult to estimate the
number of outsiders who have come from
the surrounding States. Several members
of the railroad committee when seen today
stated that their expectations are being
more than realized.
