UNIVERSITIES INTERESTED.
Defendants in Suit Over Provisions of
Admiral PowelI's Will.

The Columbian University of this city
and the Johns Hopkins University of Balti-
more, Md, are named defendants in a pro-
ceeding in equity instituted this afternoon
by Mary Eloise Thruston Keller and four
teen others, descendants of the next of
kin of Admiral Levin NJ. Powell, United
States navy. who died January -, 1885.
1t is asked that a devise in the will Of
Admiral Powell be decreed void; that the
title to premises 1701 street be decreed to
be vested in the complainants, and that the
Columbian University be required to ac-
count for the rents of the property since
the same has been in its possession.
Admiral Powell left premises 1907 street
to Columbian University as an endowment
to prepare young men for entrance to the
United States Naval Academy or the mer-
chant marine service. 1t was stipulated
that in the event the Columbian University
should not administer the trust In accord
ance with the wishes of Admiral Powell it
should be transferred to the Johns Hop
kins University.
The compliments assert that the Column
bian University has been wholly unable to
execute the trust, saying: by reason OF
the Indebtedness of the purposes Of the in
tended trust and the hopeless uncertainty
sire to take advantage Of said endowment
the said devise and the trust sought to
have been created Hereunder, is wholly
void and of no effect
Richard r. BeaIl is the attorney for the
compliments.

ENDORSES SCHOOL.
Lieut.. Hollinberger Says It is Doing
Good Work.

The District Commissioners have received
gard to the complaint of ]. H. Harding
and others against a school at 456 N street
southwest. It is stated that Lieut.. Holm
berger of the fourth precinct made a per-
sonal investigation, going himself to the
place and remaining there some time in
citizens clothes. SO that he was unknown
to the children.
He has made long. report upon the
character of the school. He describes it as
place where evening classes of boys are
gathered to engage in certain amusements
and to receive certain instruction. Lieut..
Hollinberger expressed the belief in very
emphatic language that the school is do
Ing great deal of good, and that is minis
tiers to large class of boys, giving them
higher ideals. who in the natural course of
things would go to recruit the criminal and
INDECENT classes.
A letter to the Commissioners from Mr..
Charles Weller, who lives in the house
and conducts the school, describes it as
wholly philanthropic movement, the pur-
pose OF which is to furnish healthful
aTusements to the poorer boys of South
west Washington.
Maj. Sylvester yesterday returned all the
papers in the case to the Commissioners,
stating that the matter in question is not
one for police Intervention unless rowdy-
ism and disorder prevail to the discomfort
of those who reside In the vicinity.
At present he is of the opinion that no
action is needed as Lieut.. Holinberger re-
stantly improving. If, however, there is
further complaint Major Sylvester says,
the police will be constrained to take more
determined action.

Deicacy of Smell.
From the Gentleman's Magazine


Very careful experiments have lately been
made to test the delicacy of the sense of
smell in human beings. A series of solu-
lions OF five different substances was pre-
pared. each series being so arranged that
every solution was of half the strength of
the preceding one. These series were ex-
tended by successive dilutions till 1t was
impossible to detect the odors. The order
of the bottles containing these solutions
was completely disarranged, and the test
consisted in the attempt to classify them
by the sense of smell alone. An equal
number Of male and female observers were
selected from the best apothecaries' shops,
and each was required to arrange the bot
ties. The males were able to detect the
smell of the nitrate of amyl in the solution
Of 1 part of $4,000 of water, and the fe-
males were able to detect it in the solu-
ton of 1 part to 81 900 of water. The oil
of wintergreen was detected in about the
same proportion and to the same extent of
dilution. There was, therefore, a very great
preponderance in favor of the males as to
the sensitiveness and discrimination of the
sense of smell. This Is certainly an as
founding fact.

RECEIVER APPLIED FOR.
John F. Leggett and Others Bring Suit
Regarding Subdivision.

Proceedings in equity for Injunction, the
appointment of receiver and an account
ing have been instituted by John F. Leg
gett. Mary M. Cooke, Anna R. Cook and
Robert Craig against George p Robinson,
Daniel K. Trimmer and five Others It Is
explained that the parties to the suit are
members of a syndicate controlling Robin
son and Trimmer's subdivision of Whar-
tons Addition to Fort Myer Heights.
The compliments set forth that by reason
of the persistent neglect of Robinson and
Trimmer to render a satisfactory account
of all their doings as trustees, by reason
of their refusal to disclose the names of
all the interested parties in the syndicate,
by reason Of the great expense at which
they are managing the property and by rea-
son OF the discovery Of the alleged false
representations made to them at the out
start Of the transaction by the said Robin
son and Trimmer, the compIainants have
lost confidence in Robinson and Trimmer.
The court is asked to take the manage
ment of the property out of the hands OF
Robinson and Trimmer, to appoint some suit
able person to take charge of the same and
to direct distribution among the parties
entitled thereto.
Attorney Bates Warren represents the

CAPTAIN CLARK DECLINES.
Rear Admiral Watson Selected to Go
to the Coronation.

Captain Charles E. Clark. the gallant
commander of the battle ship Oregon dur
Ing the Spanish war, has declined the APP
pointment on the special embassy to rep
resent the United States government at the
coronation Of King Edward VII, and the
President has appointed Rear Admiral Wat
son, president Of the naval examining
board, to serve in his stead.
The declination of Capt. Clark is viewed
with general regret, inasmuch as his SPLEEN
did services during the Spanish war and
clean, consistent record made him most
suitable officer to represent the American
navy on that occasion. However it is re-
allied that the mission for which Capt.
Clark was slated involved personal expense
for entertainment and other OUTLAWS of a
very formidable character. 1t Is understood
that his declination was based entirely on
financial grounds.

THE HOUSE.

At the opening Of the session Of the
House today Mr.. Creamer On. " rose to
question of privilege and had read at the
clerks desk an article in a New York
paper charging the New York members
with being dummies and derelict in their
duty" in connection with the bill for
new post office building in New York city.
The Speaker ruled that the article read
did not constitute question of privilege,
but Mr.. Dreamer was given five minutes in
which to make a statement Thereupon he
recounted what the New York delegation
had done in the matter. With Mr. Cum
mings (now stricken with illness) at their
head, he said, the delegation had gone to
the committee on public buildings and
grounds and had secured assurances that
a separate bill would be reported for the
New York post Office. Now it seemed,
said he that another commission was to
be provided by the terms of the omnibus
public building bill agreed to yesterday
to examine into the question Of a suitable
site.
Mr.. LESSER On. " supplemented Mr..
Creamer's statement by serving notice that
when the omnibus bill was brought before
the House a fight would be made for the
incorporation in 1t of the New York post
office bill.
Bills were passed to donate the spars of
the Don Juan de Austria and the Almirante
Oquendo to the state of Alabama.
To appropriate $50. 600 Of the funds Of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians for the
relief Of destitute members Of those tribes.
To authorize the construction of a bridge
across the Tennessee river in Marion coun-
ty, Tenn.
To provide for trade statistics between
the United States and it's outlying posses
sions.
To grant certain lands to the city Of Col
orado Springs, Col.
Special Order Adopted.
Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.), from the committee on
rules, then presented the special continuing
order agreed to by the committee some
time ago to provide for the consideration
Of the Senate amendment to the oleomar-
garine bill. Mr.. Cowherd (Mo.) vigorously
opposed the adoption of the rule. Last
week. he said, the House considered a bill
for the relief of the Cubans. The program
was to be tears and sympathy for the poor
of Cuba and sneers and taxes for the poor
of America. AS an indication of what
would happen when this bill went into eff
feet Mr. Cowherd said that Immediately
after the passage Of the oleomargarine bill
by the Senate the price Of butter went up 4
cents in New York and cents in Chicago.
Mr.. Dalzell. replying to Mr.. Cowherd, said
the merits Of the bill were not now under
consideration. The order was simply de-
signed to give the House a chance to pass
upon its merits
The rule was adopted, 152 to 70.
The Oleomargarine Bill.
The House, under the terms Of the rule
adopted, then proceeded to consider the
Senate amendments to the oleomargarine
bill. Mr.. Henry Comm explained the Sen
ate amendments and the action which the
committee on agriculture desired.

The Sun q Poor Timekeeper.

The sun does not keep good time. He is
almost always too fast or too slow. Once
about the middle of April he is Just on
time, then not again before the middle of
June. At the beginning OF Sept nber he
joins the clock third time. and lastly,
once more late in December. Now. it would
seem as II he were startled at the way he
had neglected us. In February he fell back
until he was fifteen minutes late. BY the
beginning of March he had made up five
minutes of his loss, and before the month
is over he will have caught up to within
FIVE minutes of the schedule. Meanwhile
the days have been growing longer very
rapidly. We begin March with our nights
longer than our days. We end it with our
days longer than our nights. In the one
month we have added to the length of our
day an hour and twenty minutes, digger
gain than any other month can show.
