DELIVERS FIRST SERMON.
Rev. Carter Makes His Bow to st. An
drew's Congregation.

Rev. George Calvert Carter, who was re-
Gently chosen successor to Rev. DIR. Perry
as rector of St Andrews Episcopal Church.
delivered his first sermon to his new fold
yesterday morning. The attendance was
somewhat larger than usual, and the new
rector was rendered hearty welcome by
the members Of the church.
Mr.. Carter made brief reference to the
fact that the occasion was his initial ap-
pearance before the constituents of st. An
drew's Church, but felt that there was no
need for formality, and expressed a wish
that they regard him an old associate
The minister paid a high compliment to
the work and ability OF his predecessor in
the rectorship Of st. Andrews Church. It
will be his plan, he said, to follow as close
ly as possible the lines laid down by DR..
Perry. He appealed to the congregation
for its assistance in his work, and said he
wished any member Of the church to feel
free to confide in him.
At the conclusion of his personal re-
marks to the congregation Rev. Mr. Carter
took his text from the miracle performed
by Peter and John in healing the cripple
which reads, Silver and gold have 1 none

MARTIN VAN BUREN's PAPERS.
Valuable Addition to Congressional
Library Manuscripts.

The PRESIDENTIAL series of manuscripts In
the Library of Congress has been greatly
enriched by the recent acquisition or still
another valuable collection-the letters and
papers of Martin Van Buren, eighth Presi-
dent of the United States The collection,
which Is one of great historical interest
and Significance comes to the library as
gift through the public spirited generosity
of Mrs Smith T. Van Buren, of Fishkill,
N. Y, the widow of the third son Of the
President.
The papers bear upon Mr.. Van Burens
career as attorney general of the state
of New York, his SenatorShip. his mission
to England and his presidency Inasmuch
as none of the private correspondence has
been used by any biographer, 1t is believed
that the material will throw much light
I'D Mr. Van Buren's political views and con-
duct The collection is particularly rich in
New York state politics, which at this pc
Rod were very important in their influence
upon national affairs And 1t includes a re-
markable series of letters which passed be-
tween Andrew jackson and Martin Van
Buren,. They begin while Jackson was
President and continue to the year of his
death. The political intimacy of Jackson
and Van Buren, is, of course, matter of
great historical consequence, and the let
tiers are E.any of them very free In their
comment on men and measures. BY them
selves these letters form a most noteworthy
collection and are of particular value in
connection with the papers of Andrew
Jackson, which were presented to the IL
brary during the past year by the children
of Montgomery Blair.
Another interesting feature of the collec-
ton il an autobiography still in manuscript
(some six folio VOlumes) begun by Mr..
Van Buren, when he was seventy-one years
Of age. 1t covers his life to about the year
1888, and Ia in the nature Of defense of
his political conduct of which there had
been fierce criticism; and a history of po-
tool ~ In whit n1, 6a tan6 al aNyc
taken q great interest. This autobiography
has never been printed nor has it been ac-
cessible to his biographers.

Shareholders Must Decide.

The court rendered an opinion to the
effect that the shareholders and not the
dir ectors Of a bank shall decide whether
an assessment upon stock shall be made
when the controller of the currency gives
notice that the capital stock is impaired.
The case grew out Of the proceeding or
Henry Weinhard and George H. Williams
VS. the Commercial National Bank of Port
land Greg. In 1896 Controller Eckels noti-
fed the bank that 1t must either increase
its capital stock or go out Of business. The
board of directors took the question up and
decided upon an assessment Of fifty per
cent upon the capital stock, authorizing the
sale of the stock of all shareholders who
might fail to meet the assessment. Under
that direction stock held by Williams and
Weinhard was SOLD and they instituted pro-
ceedngs in the state court to recover its
value.
This plea was upheld by the supreme
court of the state, and the decision was
sustained by the federal Supreme Court,
In the opinion handed down today. The
opinion was delivered by Justice Day, who
said that the shareholders and not the
directors must decide whether, under the
circumstances detailed, bank shall make
the increase demanded or suspend opera
tons In this case" he concluded, 1.-The
assessment was made by the directors
without action by the shareholders, and
not being within the statute. was Void

THE SUPREME COURT
Trying to Advance Cases OF
Beavers and Runkle.
A RULING REAFFIRMED
DRAWING COLOR LINE IN ALA
BAMA GRAND JURIES.
Local Dispute Regarding Real Estate
Transaction Decided - Minnesota's
Case Against Railway Merger.

Solicitor General Hoyt today entered mo
lions in the Supreme Court OF the Unlteo
States for the advancement OF two cases
involving the prosecution of George w.
Beavers and Maurice Runkle on charges OF
conspiracy to defraud the government
through contracts for supplies for the POST
Office Department. The immediate ques-
ton involved In the proceeding Is the right
of removing the case from one federai
court to another after it had been 1nstl-
tuted. The Beavers case was removed
from the southern to the eastern district
of New York and the Runkle case from the
southern district of New York to the Dis
trict of Columbia. Both Beavers and
Runkle sought relief on writs of habeas
corpus which were denied by the circuit
court for the southern district of New York.
From those decisions Runkie and Beavers
appealed to the Supreme Court.
The solicitor general stated that the gov
eminent and the defense were united in the
desire for an early hearing, and he lntl-
mated that they would be pleased to nave
the case set for next March. The court
took the motion under Amusement, the
chief justice intimating that on account OF
the fact that many cases have been ad-
vanced 1t may not be possible to hear it
before the next term.

HINTS FOR CONSERVATIVES.
Fresh Air and Good Food Are the
Chief Cures.

From the Youths Companion.
The two greatest things that can be done
for q consumptive are to supply oxygen
plsh these two measures, and many cases
of consumption are going to get well-in-
deed, all of those that are incipient. and
some of those that are well on their way.
The tendency in these cases Is to a loss
of breathing space-of lung capacity
through disabled or destroyed air cells. If,
however, the requisite amount Of oxygen
can be ingested, the lung capacity Will be
maintained, and disease be either driven out
OF held at bay indefinitely. In all these
cases, also, there lie a constant temperature
slightly above the normal. This is not
often realized by the patient or his friends.
though the thermometer steadily shows It.
In addition to supplying the oxygen. con-
troll this fever, and the cure of your patient
il well nigh assured. The requisite supply
OF oxygen Is to be secured by invtgorating
exercise, both of the general system and.
locally Of the lungs. Occupations like for
estry, gardening, farming. seafaring. or
such pastimes swimming. rowing or
gymnastics. performed in the open air. are
of much value, securing. as they do much
larger ingestion of oxygen, and a resultant
brisk circulation Of the blood with hfe-giv-
ing principles.
Living close to natures heart Is often
equivalent to OUTLYING consumption. Lib

ABOUT FLATFooTEDNEss.
What Causes It and How It May Be
Prevented.
From the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
F1atfootedness may or may not be in
creasing among the mederns but IT has, at
last, brought out some very interesting
theories as to why 1t should be prevalent.
Sandow got datfooted from lifting heavy
weights. according to the opinion Of DR..
Sargent of Harvard. Children are likely
to be afflicted in this way when they wear
spring heels, for the bones of the instep,
in the case of young people, depend for
keeping their place upon adequate support
OF the heel. Fat children find themselves
becoming fatfooted because of the abnor-
NAL weight the feet have to sustain Poor
feeding of the child tends to make It fat
footed, for the bones of the foot require
plenty of lime to make them firm and
strong. Poor feeding leads to ricketts, as
we'll as Indebtedness, though the physician
who says it does not stop to explain ricketts,.
What used to be called rheumatism of the
feet now turns out to be Indebtedness.
Persons who 20 bafefooted all the time are
said never to get the trouble. so We are
led to believe that II we wear shoes at all
we are apt to become as the big policeman
or the mythical Chicago girl. If one doc
tors story 10 believed only old people get
fatfootedness after the bones begin to dis
ilitegrate, so to speak, and let down the
high arch of beauty in the instep. Asked
whether the malady wasnat all comm on
among the applicants for membership in
the Massachusetts militia. DIR. Blood Of
Boston said: eff 1t exists in form serious
enough to interfere wit walking, of course
1t bars him from enlistment" That Is not
surprising, for If there Is one accomplish
ment states militiaHoaght TO possess t rs
that of being able to walk AS for the rest
OF u.s. We ought not toscarec whether we are
fiatfooted or not for there Is less and less
reason for our walking anyway.

SUBSTITUTE FOR wHALEBoNE.
Steel Covered With Secret Composition
Taking It's Place.

From the New York Times.
The increasing scarcity of whalebone mas
attracted the attention of merchants and
inventors all the world over to the discov-
ery of substitutes for use in corset and
dressmaking, but SO far few satisfactory
ones have been discovered.
Steel is in many respects the best subst1-
tute. and in some 1t Is superior to whale
bone. Its fatal defects are its tendency to
rust and its sharp edges which cut the
fabric of the corset. While it has almost
exclusively replaced whalebone in the
cheaper grade of corsets. these two defects
have shut it out entirely from use by the
high-grade commercial and custom corset
makers. Horn strips and other substitutes
lack the resiliency and lightness OF whale
bone.
There Is a substitute now on the market
which seems to fill about all the require
ments. It is composed of thin strips OF
steel Of the highest grade. covered with
composition which absolutely protects It
from rust. and which at the same time.
having rounded edges. protects the fabric
OF the corset or dress from being cut by the
sharp edges Of the steel. Unlike whalebone,
1t is practically indestruotible, possessing
greater resilfency, and Is much thinner
than whalebone of equal strength, which is
a strong point in its favor. Tho chief draw
back to its use is that 1t cannot be cut to
the lengths required, but the manufacturer
declares that 1t is made in SO many lengths
that it is unnecessary to cut 1t.

MEMORIAL CEREMONIES.
Tablet to Memory of Late Rev. Stuart
Dedicated at Christ Church.

Christ Episcopal Church, at S1st and o
streets northwest. was the scene yesterday
morning of a large assemblage of the men,
bers of that church and other local Episco-
pal churches upon the occasion OF the I'M
yelling and dedication of the memorial tab
let to the late Rev. DIR. Albert Rhett Stuart.
DR.. Stuart, whose death occurred Septem-
Der q, 1902, was rector of Christ Church
for twenty-six years and was highly es-
teemed in this city. The exercises yester-
day morning We're conducted under the d.
rection of Rev. James II. w. Blake, the
present rector of the church.
The tablet is of bronze. set in green mar
bic. and occupies a conspicuous position in
the edihce. The inscription follows:
ITO the glory of God and in loving men,
DRY of Rev. Albert Rhett Stuart D. D.
Born in Charleston. 9. c., April 10, 1s46:
died at Christ Church parish rectory.

his Master an eloquent and forceful
preacher of the Word a loving sympa-
th~tic ana untfring pastor.

and under his care, stands monument to
him
Well done, thou good and faithful sery-
ant: enter thou into the Joy of the Lord
Erected by his people, to whom he SO
long and so faithfully ministered."

one which admits of living in the open air
the maximum amount of time is best
though this Is not all, as high or moder-
ately high altitude. away from lakes and
fogs, is also needful, while it is said that
those places where there are mountains
running east and west. thus shielding one
from the colder winds make given region
much more desirable for the consumptive.
Congenial temperature. lots of sunlight on
a clear, dry soil, pure water. and in the
midst of these things sufficient exercise
make for the consumptive a much better
outlook, both as to length of life and cure
and serve effectively to place him where
little medicinal aid is needed
Given these things we generally find that
the fever element takes care of itself-goes
away.
1t is very important that the digestion in
these cases should be as perfect as possible.
as 1t is wholly through food assimilation
and the ingestion of oxygen that we combat
and restore the excessive tissue waste.
Care in diet will do much to secure this
end, while if one has to resort to other
means probably there is nothing better than
some pepsinated compound. the best of
these probably being vegetable pepsin,
known better caroid. five grains or so OF
this being used before meals A valuable
adjunct to this for tonic would be thir-
tieth grain tablet pill of strychnine sui
phate, taken after meals.

Denied Constitutional Rights.

The court again reaffirmed the ruling
made in the case of Carter vs. the state of
Texas, to the effect that the exclusion OF
negroes from grand juries involving crlm-
inaI charges against members of their race
is a violation of the Constitution ana there-
fore not permissible. The decision was de-
livered by justice Holmes in the case OF
Rogers vs. the state of Alabama.
Rogers is resident of Alabama, and
he was indicted for murder by grand
iury COMPOSED entirely of white men, ana
from which, 1t is charged, that all negroes
were excluded because of their color. Inc
supreme court of the state upheld the reg
ularity of the proceeding, but Rogers
brought it to the federal court on writ
of error with the result that the decision
of the state court was reversed, ana tns
case remanded to the state courts 1or 1ur-

the Carter case, in which 1t was held that

lection of the laws in violation or the -FOUR,
tenth amendment of the Constitution OF
the United States. whether such exclusion

The court affirmed the decision Of the
Court of Appeals in the ease OF Mary ana
Jacob l. Shappirio agt. Minnie D. and Geo.
Goldberg. In this case Goldberg sold to
shappirio property 1915 and 1247 nth street
southeast. Shappirio claimed that ne was
led to believe he was buying the PACK yaIu
and stable. After purchasing the property
he rented 1t to Goldberg, who had owned 1t.
After remaining as a tenant year Gold
berg fenced off the back yard ana stable
and moved out, declaring that he had not
sold the stable. 1t was then learned that
the deed did not call for the back yard and
stable. Shappirio declared that he had been
shown all the property as the property he
was to buy. The case being taken to the
Supreme Court of the District Of Columbia
it was dismissed, and that decision was af-
frmed in the Court of Appeals, and today
similar action was taken by the Supreme
Court of the United States.

An Unfortunate Remark.

From the New York Times.
If certain prominent New York physi-
clan ever writes his autobiography, the fol-
lowing incident will undoubtedly be omit
ted:
Not long ago the physician in question
was called to a boarding house to attend a
man very ill with pneumonia. The man
died. The keeper of the boarding house,
woman, was very much distressed, the man
having been the first boarder to die under
her roof.
Its so unfortunate that he should have
died" said she, with self-interested SYM
pathy. Il do hate to have a funeral here"
at won't be necessary" said the doctor
consolingly. 1.-THE funeral can be at the
undertakers."
But / don't even know of an under-
taker," said the unnerved woman.
II do" said the doctor. Just around the
corner is a good one, to whom / send ali
my patients"

tor wondered why she turned pale.
