The statement of Thurlow Weed in regard to the fate of Morgan, who was the cause of the great antl-Masonte excitement years ago, has attracted ped | some attention ameng Masons and others of this city. A Stan reporter endeavored to find someone who had a personal recollection of the incidents of that exciting time. In talking with Mr. W. 8. Roose, a prominent Mason, that gentleman said that he did not belleve that there was anyone alive in the District who had a personal recollection of those times. He believed that Mr. Weed’s state- ment was true, and that Morgan had met his death at the hands of those men, who were wild with excitement and probably drunk at the time. He sald that no one now attributes to. the teach- ings or influence of the order the perpetration of such deeds; but the Masonic excitement affected the order for years, and when he (Mr, Roose) Joined if, in 1854, the’ order was at a very low ebb, When ash d to-day, by a Star reporter, what Masons thought of thé Thurlow Weed revelations concerning the Morgan affair, Col. Wm. Ireland, Secretary Of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite Masons, southern jurisdiction, sald: “1 don't know what Masons think of 1t;'I haven't heard any of them say anything about it; I know what think. Tread tt, latd the paper down and said ‘it 4s all bos.’ ‘That's what I think of ft; itis all Dosh. I don’t believe Masons are much Interested init. Mr, Ircland sald he thought the fact. that this story was not given out until after Weei’s death, and net after Whitney's death, discredited it somewhat. He believed Weed was childish when he prepared it. Assuming the story to be true, the act of making away with Morgan appeared to have been concelved and executed by a few men, and the whole Masonic order should not be held responsible for 14” ————— Court Notes To-day.

In proportion to the attendance the sales were very satisfactory, and the managers only complain that the people do not come in as large numbers as they should. They hope that inspite of the weather the remaining days will be more successful in a financial way. ‘The attendance at the opening of the fair this morning was quite as large as on previous days, but the greater part were strangers. There 1s no lack of interest on the part of the ladies in charge of the booths and the other attendants, and they were all at their posts when the fair opened. LADIES IN CHARGE TO-DAY.

THE COAST SURVEY EXHIBIT. ‘The exhibitimade by the coast survey office at the Garfield Monument fair ts worthy of spectal notice. In addition to some of the superior instruments used in the survey and specimons of the standard weights and measures of the United States, there are shown two Interesting models of sub-marine geography, which have attracted a great deal of attention. 'The scales of depths in these models are, of course, much exaggerated. One of these models is a representation of the bed of the Gulf of Mexico, showing in that almost land-locked sea the surprising depth, exceeding 12,000 fect, over an area as large as the State of Georgia. ‘The most prominent features brought out are the vast banks, off the sof Fiortda, Loulsiana and Yucatan; the extremely steep slopes which lead to the Geep plateath and the great projection of the ippl delta across the natural bank to nearly the margin of deep water, explalaing the co ofthe jetties. ‘The other model represi conformation of the Gult of Malne, that great Wzht between Nantucket and Cap2 shows In a most striking manner the eras tue coast ine and the various banks ant decps, This model was prepared for the U. 8.

In conversation with a Sra Teporter this morn- ing she told part of her troubles, She sald that notices of her being at the fair had appeared in yesterday's papers, and the faet of her having been at the 7th regiment fair in New York and having had her picture in the New York Graphic as a typical face of American female beauty, with other allusions of a complimentary natur attracted general attention.

In a quiet corner of statuary hall there 1s an ex- hibit which possesses unusual Interest and per- haps one of the most extensive of the kind ever before seen in this country. It1sa collection of relles of General Washington and of the revolu- tionary period. Enclosed ina glass case the art!- cles are so disposed that they can be readily seen, while platniy written labels describe the chara ter ofeach. Alarge number belong to Dr. J ‘Toner, under whose superviston the entire collec- tion was brought together, and he takes great pleasure In describing to his friends the curlost- tes. The appearance of the Doctor tn the vi nity of the ca: alwa sure to attract a group, and each article seems to possess renewed Interest when presented with the qulet_ enthustasm which the Doctor, like ail collectors, feels in deseanting upon such a theme. Perhaps the most intet ting to the general visitor fs the last portrait of Wash— ington, by Willams, of Philadelphia, taken in 1. ‘This represents him as an old man, and as the majority of the pictures extant were taken at an earlier period this one glyes a new conception of the first President. There ts also to be seen one of the three swords which Washington bequeatued {n his will to his relativ This one was devised to hils nephew, George Stepts Washington, 2nd re- mated In the family until poverty compelled them to part with the treasured heirloom. It now be- longs to the family of the late George W. Riggs. A lock of hair may also be seen, cut from the head of General Washington by Dr, Willlam ‘Thornton, the first Commissioner of Patents, and now in the po session of Charles W. Hoffman. The silver-plated baptismal font used “when the General was bap- tised. Is asmall plain bowl. The chair in which Washington sat as presiding officer In the Alexan- dria Masonic lodge, the tvory gavel with gold head, engraved, and’other relics from the Alexan- dria iodge form’ a part of these iuteresting and valuable articles. A small portion only of the col- lection of Washington relies has been mentioned, and there are a great’ many others which would repay a visit. Dr. Toner also has placed on exhi- bition the key of the Old Capitol building before tt was burned by the British In 1812, five packages of Coutinental money and several pieces of blue china table service curiously decorated. ‘The Wheelmen’s Day. PROGRAM ARRANGED BY THE BICYCLERS—POSTPONE- MENT ON ACCOUNT OF THE SNOW—THE PARADE AND CONTESTS TO BE HELD IN THE WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS—CLUBS EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT, ETC. “Weather doubtful; certainly fair on or before Thursday. If bad Wednesday, .races will be put off ll Thursday.” Such was tue notice chalked on a blackboard last evening in the room of the Capital Bleycle club, Le Droit building, where a large number of wheelmen were assembled to discuss the prospects ot holding the parade, races and tournament ‘which were to have taken place to-day. Outside the snow was falling fast, every minute rendering itless probable that the races could be held to- day. ‘The appearance of the streets this morning, and the condition of the track in the grounds south of the Executive Mansion at once put an end to such little hope as the wheclnen took to bed with them.
