A. H. Lindeke, in behalf of the cham
Der of commerce, appeared to protest
against the ordinance. He d d not own
any property on University avenue. The
business interests of the city had not
asked for the fast line. The line would
practically confiscate the property along
University avenue. In every city of the
Union the word was reduce street rail-
way fares. He was opposed to any in
crease in fares. The masses Of the peo-
pie were not in favor of e. increase or
fare Any class of business men could
replace the present street car system for
80 cents on the dollar.
r. S.. Durment, another representative
of the chamber of commerce, protested
against the passage of the ordinance.
There was a question If the council had
any right to pass any such franchise.
Tie only ground on which it could be
granted was on the ground Of public
necessity. He could not learn of any
demand for the franchise among the
business men. 1t was desired only by
the company. The street railway had
run out the steam railway companies and
1t had been several years finding out that
the business demanded such a
line.

soCIETY's ANNUAL MEETING.
Homeopathic Physicians of District
Discuss Numerous Themes.

The first session of the annual meeting of
the Washington Homeopathic Society was
held last evening in the tea room of Will
iards Hotel. There was a good attendance
of the members of the society and others,
and the papers which were read were fol-
lowed with close attention, and in some
cases evoked interesting discussions. Espe-
cially was this the case with the paper on
Serum Therapy: Is it's use by homeopa-
thists consistent by DIR. d. II. Riggs. This
question was answered in the affirmat tive
by the writer of the paper, who said he was
confident that serum was the most modern
and effective means of treating diptheria
and also tuberculosis. This opinion was
supported by several physicians in the
course of the discussion. who spoke of the
excellent results that had followed the use
of this method. One of the speakers gave
an account of the bad effect in one case
following this treatment. as blood poison
ing set in but it was thought in that case
probably the result was due to the fact
that proper cleanliness had not been OBJ
served in the administration.
The president of the society DIR. Ralph
Jenkins, occupied the chair at the meeting
last evening, and the first paper read was
on 1.-The Comparison Between Kali BIZ
chromicum and Mercurius Protoiode" by
DR. c. b. Gilbert which was an instructive
treatment of subject that was recognized
as of great professional Importance. Then

Captain Arthur Barnes, who has held a
position as assistant dooEkeeper on the
Senate side of the Capitol for long term
of years, was found dead in bed in his room
at No 40 C street northwest about $50
o'clock this morning. Heart disease, it is
believed. caused his death. He had suf-
fered from heart trouble for number of
years, and had frequently remarked that
he expected death from that cause.
The deceased was about sixty-five years
old, and was a native of North Carolina.
and his three daughters reside in that
state.
During the civil war he served as cap
tain in the 7th Confederate Cavalry and
was appointed to his present position
through the influence of Senator Ransom.
Many of the personal friends of the de-
ceased called at the house this morning
upon learning of the death. He was promi-
nent in Masonic circles, and members of
local lodge had the body sent to Bankers
undertaking establishment, where it was
prepared for burial.
Held in High Esteem.
Every one who has frequented the west
door of the Senate lobby will recall the
rudy face. white hair!and merry. twink
ling eye of Capt. Arthur Barnes. For
eighteen years he has sat at that door

ton to his duty. He was held in high
esteem by senators OF all parties and num-
bered his friends among all classes of Of

short time in the folding room, and then
was advanced to the position he held at
the time of his death.
Capt. Barnes was frequently sent in
charge of senatorial travelling parties. fune-
rails and committee journeyingS. He was
possessed of a great deal of tact as we'll
as the ability to look after the details aris-
ing out of the necessity of transporting
and providing for committees.
At the national democratic convention of
1884. ISIS, 1892 and 1896 Capt Barnes was
doorkeeper of the national committee and
