As, in the opinion Of many of the
members of the District bar, the mat
ter of the selection of a successor to Justice
Cox on the bench of the Supreme Court of
the District has. practically been decided
upon by President Mckinley, and that
the United States Attorney for the District
will be named for the position. the ques-
tion of who will succeed Mr.. Davis in the
event of his promotion is naturally upper
most in the minds of local attorneys. 1t
is believed in some quarters that the Presi-
dent has determined to bestow the District
Attorneyship plum on en- Ohio man.
However, this may be- there are several
members of the bar who are not allowing
that statement TO deter them from keeping
close watch on this District Attorneys Of

ready and willing to step in. Under the
existing circumstances, however, the vacan-

figured very prominently in the discussion,
among the members of the bar. in relation
to the choice of a successor to Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Gould, it will be remembered, sue
ceeded w. ID. Baker as one of Mr.. Davis
assistants in the District Attorneys Office
last January His ability as a lawyer can
not be questioned and his qualification as
a prosecuting attorney has been demon
strated on more than one occasion since he
49, f-
a Marylander and a Republican, and be-
sides other influences which he can bring
to bear in his behalf is said TO be strongly
backed by Senator McComas.
Mr.. Smith, though a Virginian by birth.
has been a resident Of the District for over
twenty-five years, having been an active
practitioner at the District bar during this
time. Like Mr.. Gould, he is a Republican,
and during election times makes frequent
visits to the Old Dominion to give his par
ty help on the road to victory.
His friends urged him for the District
Attcrneyship two years ago, and his appli-
cation for the position was endorsed by at
least nine-tenths of the most prominent
members OF the local bar, many of whom
knew him for a score or more of years.
The recommendation consisted chiefly in
personal letters to the President, In which
the writer's spoke of Mr.. Smith in the high
est terms, laying much stress upon his
ability as a practitioner in all branches of
the law. Nor was he endorsed alone by
members of the legal profession of his own
party, for among those who Joined in ac-
knowledging his fitness for the position
were large number of the most prom
inent local practitioners and former men,
bers of the District bench belonging to the
Democratic party.
Mr.. Smith is also said to have a strong
political backing. Taking public opinion
as guide it may be said that in the event
that the President changes his mind and
does not appoint an Ohioan to the District
Attorneyship he will make choice of one
of these two gentlemen.

THE MoToRMAN ARRESTED.
There Vas No Fender on the Car
Tint Killed Fisher

The body of Lemuel Fisher, the colored
man who was run over and killed by car
on the Brightwood Electric Railway at the
corner OF Brightwood Avenue and Phila-
delphia Street at an early hour yesterday
morning, was recovered with some diff
Guilty from beneath the wheels of the car
The body is terribly mangled and is hardly
recognizable.
The part of the road where the accident
occurred is very dark and the motorman
did not see the man on the track until too
late to stop the car, which was coming
down the road at a high rate of speed.
The car is the last one to leave the power
house, and is used exclusively to convey
the employees of the road from the power
house and Takoma Park to their homes
The car was not equipped with fender
thought that had the fender been in posi-
tion the man would not have been killed
From what could be learned last night il
appears that the fender was on the rear
end of the car. The employees of the road
were in such hurry to get to their homes
that they neglected to transfer it to the
front end. w. b. Green, the motorman,
was arrested by Policeman Rhodes soon
after the accident and was locked rp at
the Eighth precinct station, charged with
failing to equip his car with a fender. No
collateral will be accepted for him, and
he will be forced to remain in custody until
after the inquest, which will be held at
the Sixth precinct station house this morn

The threatening weather yesterday prevented
local wheelmen from venturing out the usual

OF the Century Cycle Club, kept the members
from enjoying the Sunday ride, aud while many

Brandywne carly yesterday morning and

Paralysis Attacks the Man Who
Tried to XIII HIMSELF

The mystery which surrounds the at
tempt at suicide in Dead Mans Hollow,
near Roslyn. Saturday afternoon, is in no
way dispelled. The victim of his own hand
lies in the Georgetown University Hospital
with his right side paralyzed. The vocal
cords are also affected by the paralysis
which set in last night. For few mo-
ments he exhibited signs of returning con-
sciousness and talked for some time in
strange gibberish, but did not seem to be
able to understand what was going on
about him. The police Of this city are IN
able to make any headway with the affair
They cannot find anyone of the description
OF the man in the hospital who is missing
and the people at Roslyn are equally in
the dark. They have not been able to find
a single person who knew anything about
the man. No one saw him enter the woods
and no one saw him on the road before he
came TO the Hollow.

An Invention That May Prove Use

GIBBS away. The life of a great city may
be said to be in its water mains Cut off
the water supply and the city becomes a
tomb. Poison the blood and you destroy
life; purify the blood and you prolong it.
II the death of Christ opened the way
whereby God might be just and yet mer-
ciful 10 the sinner, then we attain mercy
through the blood. If his death brings US
into that relation to God whereby we may
be cleansed from the defilement of sin,
then we may be said to be cleansed by the
blood of Christ.
christian Scientists all declare that we
are not saved from sin through the vi
carious sufferings OF Christ, but by get
ting rid of beliefs-sin having no reality,
but only being belief of mortal mind.
When we get rid of the error we get rid of
sin. Christian Scientists deny the atone
ment through the blood of Christ; there
fore they are his enemies.
From the beginning to the end of the
Scriptures, like a crimson stream, runs

Jewish ritual runs the law, without she'd

sins Prophecy saw one who was to be

death, saying this is my blood Of the New
Testament Apostles wrote of salvation
through the blood, and Revelation draws
aside the veil and shows US a countless
throng who had washed their souls and
made them white in the blood of the lamb.
a religion without blood cannot endure.
I'VE need not be surprised that in his
own day, so in this, Christ has enemies.
We are not surprised that the enemies OF
Christ deny there is salvation through his
blood. Jesus declared he would lay down
his life for the salvation of sinners. The
enemies Christ has today are those who,
pretending to honor him, deny we have
salvation through his blood. Anyone who
says we are not saved by the vcarious suf-
ferings of Christ is his enemy. Anyone
who says that the shedding OF Christ's
blood did not offer atonement for the sins
of the world is his enemy, and any book
which denies that the means of salvation
from sin is the shedding of blood by Jesus
on the cross is his enemy"

Manila Cigars in Europe.

From Correspondence Of the Wilmington News.)
Real Manila cigars are now sold in Dres-
den at 6 pfennigs each. That is nearly a
cent and a half apiece, or about sl.50
hundred. When one considers that this
includes the profits of the manufacturer and
OF the dealer and the cost of transportation.
the price appears to be as near bedrock as
1t is possible TO go without going aground.
have smoked half a dozen of these cigars,
and they all smoked freely and well, had
clear tobacco taste, but without any par
ticular flavor, did not become rank at the
butt and gave no sign of having been treat
ed or "doctored" in any way. l should say
that they are made of rather -fibred
tobacco, which had been cured in primi-
tive manner and without any attempt at
selection. On shipboard or for walking
tour they would go very well, but one would
not care very much for them after a good
dinner
In Dresden men who work with their
hands usually smoke cigars in the streets
pipe is very seldom seen in public only
here and there stray Englishman or
American using one. The German officers
and others of that class usually smoke ciga-
rettes The popular price for a cigar is 6
pfennings.
| have seen many advertisements of new
brands at this price OF course there,
there are cheaper cigars to be had, but l
judge that among the letter carriers. the
telegraph messengers (both government
services), the drosky drivers. the men who
stand on the street corners waiting for any
stray Job (also a regularly organized serv-
ice, with a distinctive uniform), the street
cleaners, and all the various handicrafts-
men, a six-pfennig cigar is regarded as
right bangup good article.
The price of these Manila cigars is
therefore, fitted TO the demand. 1t is pos
sible that the Dresden drosky driver may
find little too much tobacco in them for
his taste-for many Of the German cigars
are most curious and inexplicable products
and this without regard to price, although
with the rigid supervision prevailing here
in regard to all articles of consumption, /
am bound to believe that they are made of
wholesome herbs of some sort. In this case
these products OF our new domain in the
Eastern seas are likely to drift into the
hands of the school teachers, the students
the artists. and the musicians. the price
being not less satisfactory to these than to
the others.
