HOUSE OF GOOD SHEPHERD.
Neat Sum Realized From the Benefit
at the Columbia.

Cardinal Gibbons and other Catholic
clergy of great prominence honored by
their presence the concert given under
the auspices of the United Councils of the
Knights Columbus for the benefit of the
House of the Good Shepherd at the
Columbia Theatre yesterday afternoon.
Some thousand other chartably inclined
persons were present also and a neat sum
was realized for the deserving institution.
The main attraction of the performance
was the presentation of Brander Matthews
one act playlet THE Picture" by T. Dan
iel Frawley Charles w. King, George
CASTOR. and Miss Blanche Bates, all of
the Frawley company. 1t was in this
clever sketch that Miss Bates made her
professional debut in San Francisco, and
laid the foundation of her future success.
Each of the performers was well cast,
and all did their bits with rare taste and
judgment, the work of Mr.. Frawley being
the best comedy creation he has here pre-
sented. The California actress again i'm
pressed with her magnetic qualities and
great versatility while the DIR. Doulton
of Mr. King, was keenly and cleverly
drawn, as was the lesser part Of Mr.. Cas-
ton.

THE CASE OF HORTON.
4 Motion for n New Trial and Arrest
of Judgment to he Filed.

A motion for a new trial and arrest of
judgment will be made today in the case
of George w Horton. who was convicted
last Thursday OF the murder of Mrs. Jane
Nicholson. on June "a, in Armory Park.
The -four days in which motion is permit
ted by law TO be filed would have EXPIRED
yesterday but for the fact that it was
national holiday. Since his conviction
Horton maintains as stoutly as ever that
he is innocent of the murder, and claims
10 be entirely ignorant of having commit
ted ii. He says he has no recollection
whatever of having molested the woman
whCm he killed, although few minutes
afterward he confessed to members of the
police force and two newspaper men that
he killed Jane Nicholson and detailed the
circumstances under which he stabbed her
TO death and also gave his reasons for so
doing.
There has been some talk of fear that
Horton would attempt 10 take his own life
in his ce,I in the District jail if a good op
porrunity was offered, but Warden Harris
has no such fear In fact, it is the opin-
ion of the Jail guards that Horton is
physical coward and that under no circum
stances would he attempt TO end his life
in this way. The ugly temper which he
showed Immediately after his conviction
it is said is only exercised toward those
whom he believes did not make more
strenuous efforts TO secure more and
stronger evidence of his insanity, which
could be used at his trial
There was also rumor that some time
before Horizons trial one OF his victim
relatives visited the Jail for the purpose
of taking the prisoners life, but for this
there does not seem TO be the slightest
foundation; in fact, Edwin S. Ransdell,
captain of the guard at the jail was ask
ed If such an incident had occurred, and
he replied that 1t was all news TO him.
He also stated that he never heard of an
attempt on Horizons life being discussed
in or about the jail. II is quite probable
that the arguments on the motion for a
new trial for Horton will be heard some
| time this week and in the event Of the
application being denied the prisoner will
| be sentenced Immediately.

IN GUEST OF PLEASURE.


Crowds at the River Resorts and
Other Places of Amusement.
From early morning till late last night
the streets and avenues of the city were
crowded with holiday pleasure seekers. It
was most delightful day, and all who
could possibly do SO availed themselves
Of the opportunity to visit some one of
the many pleasant resorts
The employees in the different depart
mentS of the Government were as usual
given holiday and the clerks in the city
stores and other lines of business also had
half holiday. All these, with the other
residents of the city, made a great outing
party, which spent the day according 10
their individual tastes and desires.
Naturally. the objective point of the
great majority of the residents of the Dis
trict was the Arlington National Gene
terry. In fact. all roads and avenues seem
ed to lead 10 this last resting place of the
nations dead. The hundred and one pleas
ure resorts and points of interest in and
around the National Capital were also Wis
tied by immense crowds.
1t is safe to say, however, that the
greater number OF those who went out OF
the city TOOK advantage of the splendid
weather and visited some one Of the nu-
merous pleasure resorts on the Potomac.

of the river resorts had all they could do to
handle the crowds which visited those
places. On every trip during the day the
steamers which ply between Washington
and those resorts were loaded with pleas
ure seekers. While the destination of the
great majority was the Hall, still hundreds
stopped at Mount Vernon.
The different city street railways also
did rushing business. Glen Echo. pos
sibfy the most delightful and interesting
suburban resort. as usual was visited by
an immense crowd. The visitors to this
most attractive outing place went early
and remained until late al night before re-
turning 10 the city. A large number of
pleasure seekers also made the trip 10
Chevy Chase Lake during the day and
evening.
The special racing meet at the Bright
wood Racing Park was also well patron
lied, and those who went there to see the
trotters and runners make the circuit
were well repaid for the trip.
One of the most popular resorts for the
Washington public on yesterday was the
Zoo. The car lines leading TO the park
were crowded from early morning till late
in the afternoon. Basket parties were the
rule. and many were those who enjoyed
lunch on the green lawns CT the grounds.
The park is particularly attractive.
When the shades Of night began to fall
there was a great hurry and seurry, with
everyone making his way back TO the
city The steamboats, and the street cars
were taxed to their utmost carrying capac-
ity Arrangements had been made for NOV
ing the great crowds and the excursionists
were returned to their homes on time and

IT MERITS ATTENTION.
A NEW PREPARATION WHICH CURES DYS-
PEPSR AND STOMACH TROUBLES.
Remarlable Curative PROP critics

new remedy, which may revolu-
tionize the treatment of stomach trou-
bles, has recently been placed before the
public. and bears the endorsement OF many
leading physicians and scientific men.
The remedy is not a wonderful secret
discovery, nor patent medicine, neither
is 1t claimed TO cure anything except in
digestion and stomach troubles. with which
, nine-ienths Of our nation are afflicted
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or loZenges containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin free from animal impuritiesl bis
muth and Golden Seal; they are sold by
druggists generally under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made with
these tablets show that they possess re-
markable digestive power, one grain Of the
active principle being sufficient TO thor
oughly digest 5000 times its own weight
of lean meat, eggs, oatmeal, or similar
wholesome foods; these tablets do not act
on the bowels like after-dinner pills. nor
in fact do they act upon any particular
organ, but the manner in which they cure
all forms of indigestion is this: They act
entirely upon the food eaten digesting it
completely. nourishing every tissue and
nerve in the body; they simply perform
the work of digestion, thus giving the
weak stomach rest and assistance suffi-
cient 10 enable il 10 recover its normal
strength This is the reason SO many pre-
! tended cures have signally failed; they do
not furnish the digestive power which is
/ the one thing above all others that the
I stomach OF the dyspeptic lacks, and unless
/ that lack is supplied. II is waste of time
i 20 attempt to restore the enfeebled stom-
I ach by means of "tonics.' stomach bit
/ tiers" and pills" no permanent good can
| result from their use
! II the stomach can be rested and assist
! ed in the work of digestion 1t will very
soon recover; this is the secret and the
whole secret of the remarkable success OF
1 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, remedy prac-
ticalIy unknown year ago and now the
1 most popular, widely used dyspepsia
remedy. everywhere a success secured al
most entirely on its merits, as IT has
never been extensively advertised.

At the time the child was injured ii was
discovered that she had suffered a frac-
ture of the hip. The fracture was set but
has stubbornly refused to knit. The ply
sicians decided to use the X-ray and by
so doing saw that the break of the bone
was of a peculiarly diagonal nature.
. Finally it was decided that an operation
was the only way to properly set the frac-
ture, and DR.. Carr was called in TO per-
form 1t. The leg was opened and the
splintered bone bound together with silver
wire The result was perfect setting OF
the fracture. The opinion is now expressed
that the little girl will be all right in a
short while. She stood the operation with
remarkable fortitude.
