A Stab reporter called on Bishop Hnrst last
evening at bis residence on lows circle. In
reply to the reporter's inquiries as to whether
be wished to say anything farther with refer
ence to the proposed Methodist university to
be founded in this city the bishop said: "I do
not know that there Is anything more to say on
the subject than has already been said in The
Star. The fact that we are discussing the pro
ject of a great university here has already been
made public. Further than that we have not
gone and as yet there is nothing definite that
has been done other than the selection of a
possible site. I think that Washington is an
ideal strategic point for the locatioif of a uni
versity in our church. There is room for guch au
institution here. There are a number of other
seats of learning established already here, it is
true, but they have their work to "do and we
will have ours, and I can Bee no reason why
they should conflict at alL The whole matter
as it now stands has been pretty thoroughly
discussed, and I cannot think of anything netv
to say about it. One thing I can sav. however,
is that we are greatly gratified by the enthusi
asm and interest that has been aroused, both
here and elsewhere. The proposition appears
to have met with the hearty approval of every
one and this fact is of itself of the greatest as
sistance and encouragement to us all. Still,
good wishes alone will not endow a university,
and the financial question is already one of
vital importance. 1 feel quite sure, however,
of encouragement in this line as well, and 1
have no doubt that substantial aid will be
forthcoming iu good time. As it is now I have
every reason to think that before long the
scheme may be put in successful operation. In
a mouth from now our plans will probably be
so far advanced that something definite and of
real interest can be said on the subject."
r.EV. MR. BU HARDSOS'S VIEWS.
Rev. ?. Kichardson of the Anacostia M. E.
church said to a Stab reporter: "I am heartily
in favor of the undertaking and have no doubt
of its ultimate success. It will be a Protestant
rather than a Methodist institution. The first
thousand dollars was contributed by a Baptist,
and all orthodox churches will secoudthe effort
begun through Bishop Hurst. Our nearest
Methodist schools that can be dignified with
the title of university are the Boston univer
sity, at Boston; the Wesleyan university, at
Syracuse, and the Northwestern university, at
Evanston. 111. Thero is great need for a uni
versity in Washington that shall be a national
pride. The proper way to combat Catholicity
is in the open field of thought, and such a uni
versity as is proposed would prove an incal
culable blessing to our country."

THE BRIDE CARRIED OFF.
Held a Prisoner All XlKht by Her Father,
? ho Had Objected to Her -Marriage.
"Th? police do not interfere in lore affair*,'
was the information Riven Henry May at the
sixth precinct station Monday night. Only an
hour or two before that Henry had been united
in marriage with Miss Emma Smoot. and sub
sequently the bride's father bad carried her off
and made her a prisoner. The complaining
groom u about nineteen year* old and his
bride ia only a few mouths his junior. The
young lady's father. Lieut. Edward D. Smoot of
the District national guard, is employed at the
government printing office as a compositor.
The young roan's father is employed in the
same office as a book binder. He lives at No.
31 K street northeast and the Smoots live in
the adjoining house. Mr. Smoot objected to
his daughter receiving the youug man's atten
tions and so the young people met and courted
outside. Mondav they were married in the
Sresence ot witnesses and went at onco to the
ridegroom's home, No. 31 K street, to cele
brate.
THE BRIDE CARRIED OFF AND LOCKED CP.
Mrs. Smoot was waiting for her daughter's
return home, but she did not come. Next door
the wedding party was in full blast, and the
mother of the runaway girl soon learned what
was going on.
When Lieut. Smoot came home and heard of
what had happened he and Mrs. Smoot talked
the matter over and the police were appealed
to in vain. The angry father then determined
to take the law into his own hands, and early
in the evening he called at the house of his son
in-law. His daughter wan thereto greet him
and he was ready to greet her. Picking her up
in his arms he carried her home and locked
her in a room. His actiou cast a gloom on the
merry party, and the youthful husband ap
pealed to tho police, as stated above. His ap
peals were in vain, for he was compelled to
spend tho night in his father's iiouse whilo
his pretty bride was separated from him bv a
brick wall. '
A SURRENDER.
All day yesterday the groom tried to get his
wife. In the evening he was successful. When
he visited police headquarters in the aiter
noon he showed Detective Home the marriage
certificate and told him of his troubles.
??How much is she worth to youi1" asked the
officer.
lhe groom only blushed and smiled.
??If she's worth anything," continued the
officer, "you can replevin her."
District Attorney Hogo was interviewed and
he suggested a writ of habeas corpus as the
bridegroom s remedy. It was a pretty expen
sive one and the young man thought he would
try other means first. A lawyer was obtained
auil Lieut. Sinoot finally reluctantly surren
dered his daughter to her husband
It appears that yesterday afternoon the
young husband took tho advice of Mr. Albert
Sellers, an attorney, who had an interview
with the bride's parents, in which he gavo his
opinion that the law was on the side of tho
young couple, they having been married by
ilev. Mr. Seymour of the Fifth Congregational
church, lhe parents then agreed to accept
the situation, tuid the young bride went to her
husband.
The Greenbackcrs* Independence Day.
"The second declaration of our independ
ence" is what Geo. O. Jones, the chairman of
the national greenback committee, calls the
decision of the United States Supreme Court
declaring that Congress has the sovereign and
constitutional power to emit bills of credit to
provide currency for the whole people and to
make the notes of the government legal tender.
He thereupon urges, in a call just issued, that
on March a next, the sixth anniversary of that
decision, all national greonbackers meet in
their respective localities and organize them
selves into national greenback clubs, prepara
tory to congressional, state and national organ
izations next fall.
He Was Duped by Harvey.
The case of the United States against James
H. Wall is on trial in the Circuit Court, Judge
Montgomery. This is an action to recover *400 '
paid defendant August 14, 1886. in United
States treasury drafts payable to Richard Fitz
gerald. Wall presenting a power of attornev
purporting to be from Fitzgerald, but which
was subsequently discovered to bo a forgery.
It turned out that the power of attorney was
one of the forgeries of Oscar J. Harvey, a clerk
in the treasurer's office, who, July 11, 1887
plead guilty to a number of indictment* charg
ing him with forgery and who is now under
going a twelve years' sentence. Mr. Wall
claims that be was imposed uiion by Harvev
who claimed to be a friend of Fitzgerald's, aud
he handed him the power of attorney properly
executed, drew the money and paid it over on
a note of Harvey's on the latter's direction
Assistant District Attorney Covle appears for
the government and Mr. H. Wise Garnett for
the defendant.

in a spot not laiver^thau a cent. It spread rapidly all
over uiy body aud got under my nails The scales
would drop off of u.e ail the time and my suffering was
cudlesss aud without relief. One thousand dollars
would not tempt me to have this disease over strain.
I am a poor uisu. but feel rich to be relieved of what
some of the doctors said was leprosy, some ringworm,
psoriasis, 4c. I took ? ? ? aud ? ? ? Sarsaparillas
over one year and a half, but no cure. I went to two
or three doctors and no cure. I cannot praise the
CUTICURA REMEDIES too much. They have
made my skin as clear and free from scales as a
baby's. All I used of them were three boxes of CUT
ICURA aud three bottle* of CUTICURA RESOLVENT
