NEW HEADQUARTERS NEEDED.
Lighthouse Service Is Without a
Pier in Baltimore.

1t is probable that the headquarters of
the lighthouse service for the fifth dis
trict, now at Baltimore, will be changed
to some other location within short
time. Since the abandonment of the bay
line pier of the Northern Central Rail-
road Company at Canton, near Baltimore.
it has been used by lighthouse service
vessels as berthing place. Recently the
lighthouse authorities were notified that
they could no longer use the pier. as It
was to be torn down to make place for
improvements.
There is no other pier available in Bal
timore harbor for the lighthouse service
headquarters. and 1t is probable that the
station will be moved to Portsmouth. Va
where a supply station OF the service has
been located for a number of years.
1t is suggested that as the lighthouse
service has a fine new pier and store
house at this city it would be we'll to
make Washington the headquarters OF
the service.

ADORN CARNEGIE
INSTITUTIONS BUILDING
Beautiful Works in Marble Just Re-
ceived From the Sculptor
in Italy.

The Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton has just received and placed in posi-
ton at the entrance of its pretentious
edifice on 10Th street two magnificent
marble vases. They were made in a mar
BILE yard in Italy and should have arrived
and been placed in position before this
time but for the fact that the Italian
firm delayed the shipment because the
subcontractor ordering them for the
builder had turned his business over to
a receiver.
The vases are beautiful specimens of
the Italian sculptor's art. They are fully
six feet high and measure five feet in di-
ameter. Around the upper rim big clus-
ters of grapes on vines are exquisitely
carved and on each side of the vase are
handles wrought with skill and in har-
mOny with the other Ornamentation. The
vases add very much to the beautiful
setting designed by the architect for the
entrance to the splendid structure, and
adOrn what is considered to be one OF
the handsomest buildings at the capital.

EMINENT SCIENTISTS MEET
TO LISTEN TO REPORTS
Advisory Board of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service
in Session.

Eminent scientists, constituting the adj
visory board of the public health and ma
rine hospital service, met yesterday in the
Office Of Surgeon General Wyman at the
marine hospital service here. The board
consists of Dr. Simon FleXner of the
Rockefeller Institution of New York.
Prof. William Sedgwick of Boston, presi-
dent of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Associa-
ton; Victor Vaughn of Ana Arbor. Mich
chairman of the Michigan state board Of

neapOlis and DR.. WEIGH, pathOlogist Of
the Johns Hopkins University.
The board will consider the research
work of the service as to pellagra, infan-
tile paralysis. typhoid fever, tuberculin
and the life history of the cholera germ.
Probably it's sessions will be ended to-
day. There will be nothing in particular
for the board to do except to learn what,
has been done in the laboratory in the
study of these diseases and to make
technical suggestions for the direction of
the work in the future.

H|LLSDALE CITIZENS
LISTEN TO SPEECHES
Praise for DEVELOPMENT and
LaW-Abiding Qualities.
Complaint of Neglect.

About 300 men and women gathered
last eening at Douglas Hall. Hilsdale,
at the invitation of the Hillsdale Citi-
zens' Association.
A communication was read from the
Engineer Commissioner relative to the
culverting, Of Stickfoot branch, which
runs directly through the center of the
town, to the effect that it was not deemed
necessary to give attention to this branch
at the present time. owing to more i'm
portant improvements. John A. Moss
thought the culverting of the branch was
trict.
1t was the general sentiment that the
Commissioners do not give enough at
tention to this section.
1t was reported that the night school at
HlllSdaie has been re-eStabliShed. Sew
eral older members Of the association
said that until this school had started
they had been unable to sign their own
names.
Capt. William T., Anderson, commanding
the eleventh precinct, made a short talk
on the growth Of Hillsdale since its early
start about twenty years ago, and dwelt
especially on the good order that is
maintained. He said that the majority
of the citizens are law abiding, and urged
that advantage be taken of the night
school and opportunities offered by the
churches.
William F. Guide, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, discussed the de-
velopment of the home. Mr.. GUIDE said
that If anything is to be accomplished
among the negro race it must be start
ed in the homes. He urged the planting
OF flowers and grass, and the remodel
ing of dilapidated structures
Several members commented on the for
ward movement which Hillsdale hopes to
accomplish. Rev. DR.. Taylor said that
at no time since 1865 has the negro race
had cause to be discouraged.
Rev. Dr. Parker gave a short history
of Hillsdale. He said that the Commits
sioners had at last decided to recon-
mend to Congress the condemnation Of
certain streets in Hillsdale that for a
long time had been considered as private
property, but had been used publicly.

WINE GROWERS HERE.
Seek Change in Regulations Gov.
erning Production of Brandy.

A delegation Of Ohio wine growers
called on Commissioner Of Internal Reve-
nue. Cabell yesterday In an effort to bring
about a change in the regulations gov
erning the production Of brandy. SO that
they may be permitted to convert pomace,
which is the grape pulp after the juice
has been expressed, into grape brandy.
They cannot do this at present under
the law governing the distillation Of fruit
brandy, as the addition of sugar is for
hidden. and in making brandy from
the sour northern grapes this addition is
essential. Nor can they produce brandy
under the law governing the production
of spirits, which prescribes a ferment
period of seventy-two hours, while in the
production of brandy the pumace must
ferment for from six to ten days.
The growers want relief under one Or
the other sections of the law, and they
don't care particularly which. 1t is under
stood that growers in Missouri and some
in New York are also deeply interested
in the matter.

New Yorker Treasures. Souvenir He
Got as q Bow.

Forty-five years ago today delegation
Of representative citizens from South
Carolina arrived in Washington and call
ed on the President to ask for a pardon
for Jefferson Davis They registered at
the time at the National Hotel, which
was in those days the recognized head
quarters for all southern men visiting the
city.
The incident is recalled by New York
merchant, who, at that time, was stop
ping at the hOStelry with his young son.
One of the delegates from the Palmetto
state. on learning that it was the boys
birthday, congratulated him and pinned a
South Carolina badge. on which he wrote
the date, October IL, 1861" on the lapel
Of the boys jacket.
The boy preserved the badge until today
and now in manhood declares that it is
the oldest and most unique birthday gift
he possesses. He has long since forgot
ten the name of the donor of the badge,
but relates the incident recalling an
event passed out of the public mind.

ROCKVILLE TIRED Of
BEING A GRETNA GREEN
Bible Class Asks Ministers to
Try to Put a Check on
Runaway Marriages.

Midnight taxicab rides terminating in
hasty weddings in the wee sma' hours
OF the morning are "tabooed'' at Rock
vile. Md. Washington's "Gretna Green
is not proud Of her name. The Rockville
Union Bible class makes an appeal to
the ministers to try to put a check on
all this sort of thing. The members think
1t unseemly that a perfectly quiet, home
loving clergyman should be called out
of his warm bed these chilly autumn
nights and asked to tie the knot just
because lie happens to be good natured.
Letters sent by the Bible class to the
ministers of the town ask that all the
clergy assist in remedying what has
amounted to reproach upon our town
and county"
Many Have Fled From Home.
The letter says, in part:
Many of these applicants are too
young to enter upon such a sacred
relation, while goodly number are
fleeing from parental authority; hence
by marrying them a home is founded
on broken commandment, viz, Honor
thy father and thy mother and no
nome can prosper that defies the COM
mandment written by the finger Of
God.
I'VE beg to call to your attention
some newspaper items which show how
frequently the name of Rockville is un-
favorably mentioned; also that the mat
ter was the subject of bill introduced
in the last session of the legislature,
and we understand that similar bills
have been presented to the legislatures
of other states.
If our ministers will assent to this
appeal they will right wrong and re-
ceive the hearty commentator OF their
congregations, and a blessing will come
to our community
