The crown prin- cess and her suite were _— and she ex- pressed great interest in the lecture, and said she would endeavor to aid the German women toenter into the same high aspirations which Madame Neymann presented in her “Type of American Women.” Mrs. Rachel Foster and her sister, Julia, secre- tary of the association, will be present.

Bist, 1885, made to the president of the su- perior council of New York, expresses gratifica- tion at the continued increase of zeal shown by members in the prompt and punctual disebarge of their duties and for the interest they have manifested In the special works adopted by the society. Among the most Important events ot the past year Was the agzregation of St. Stephen's Aspirant conference; the formation of four new aspirant conferences; the adoption of the custom of having ap annual collection in 1 Sunday schools for the benefit of the Asso- Childhood; the annual re- treat of the society; the distribution of Christ- mas dinners and presents to poor families, and the success attending the efforts of the spiritual director in obtaining permission for the cle1 and members to visit and instruct the Catholic boys who are inmates of the reform school.

Accordingly, at s meeting of the Citizens’ Pro- tective association, a business man's society, com of citizens of the District of Colum- bia, held on Friday, February 12th, 1886, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: ee movements are now on foot in Congress and elsewhere, having for thelr object Prohibition, lotal option and an excessive li- cense tax for the sale of spirituous and malt liquors in the District of Columbia, and having & manifest tendency to degrade and disrupt the special business of many of onr most enterpris- ing eltizens and to injure business interests gen- erally; : And whereas the ill-advised agitation referred to is kept alive for the most part by persons in Congress and out of it, whose interests are not identified with those'of the District, who pay no taxes, maintain no families in our midst, ve Bo émpioyment to our laborers, pay n6 licenses for the conduct of any business; in a word, add nothing to the wealth or material advantage of the District in oy. way; ‘And whereas the persons whose business is thus imperilled are Sere, interested both in the present and prospective material weltare of this community, have made their homes there- in, and contributed their money, $Ro'R, and enterprise to legitimate business ih the District, of Col ee and annually pay into its treas- ury, inaddition to many thousands of dollars for taxes, about $80,000 per annum for licenses to conduet their business, and also expend vast sums of money in improving the real property of the District, in salaries to large numbers of persons by them employed, whose interests are seriously involved and whose employment and subsistance are at stake in the questions at issue; and both the employers and the em- ployed for the greater part, maintain and edu- cate respectable and respected families in the community and contribute liberally, of their substance, to progress, charity and education; And whereas two of our influential daily newspapers published the substence of pro- legislation on the questions involved, Without an expression of sentiment in relation thereto on the part of said journal: And whereas it is not only desirable that there should be a full discussion and clear un- derstanding of the radical meusures proposed, but also highly necessary and important that the views Of those most interested should be made known to the public before so serious changes in our laws shall have been made: Now therefore— That while we are opposed to Be the enactment of any law that will discriminate in favor of the rich against the poor, or to the Prejudice of any class of business, 'we favor and will give tearty co-operation to the ex foree- ment of any laws that wilt correct abuses, better the condition of the citizen and give greater se- curity and stability to business. We are also in favor of & law having for its object the gov- ernment and protection of respectable places where liquors, wines and beer are sold, and which, to this end, will impose # reasonable, uniform license fax of, not to exceed, one hundred and fifty ‘dollars per annum upon all establishments where liquors, wines and beers are sold in quantities of less than a pines which sum, as we believe, is sufficiently igh to discourage and suppress the dark and. low resorts where drunkenness, vice and crime are fostered, but not high enough to call into existence, on the one hand, the place which ex- cludes the workingman, or, on the other, the unlicensed dispensary of clandestine polson; and, Be it further resolved, That asall taxes are paid in the end by the consumer, an excessive li- cense tax will necessarily work a hardship to the working man by compelling him to pay an exorbitant price for the liquor that he will drink atall events, or drive him to seek a liquor of a meaner or cheaper quality, to the prejudice ot his own health and that of his posterity, as well 48 to the prejudice of his character in the com- munity; an Be tt further resolved, That the tax of $150, proposed by these resolutions, would enable the respectable dealer to supply'a better class of liquors and more wholesome beverage for the same money than could possib.y be supplied if a higher tax were im, and Be it furt That experience teaches ther resolv us that laws of a prohibitory character have no effect in restraining the use of anything ar- dently desired by man, but lead to hypocrisy, deceit and violations of law and consequent breaking of the moral sense, and that the strin- gent law is the parent of secret vice and spirit- ual and physical degredation; and Be it further resolved, That it 1s our convietion that the sucgess of prohibition in the District of Columbia Would, besides withdrawing bhun- dreds of thousgnds of dollars from the business capital of the community, withdraw an im- mense volume of money from circulation, throw thousands of people out of employment and embarrass or break up hundreds of fami- lies, without producing any one good result; Be tt further resoived, That under our wisely framed form of government the exercise of the right of, suffrage in the smaller component tts of @ state or district, on subjects em- Eraced by the uniform laws of each state or dis, trict, is salutary and favorable to liberty, but that different and opposing legislation in'said smaller sections works to the injury of each part_as well as of the whole, and particularly would this be the case in regard to the sale of liquors, as, 1{ auch sale is prohibited in our county and allowed. in another adjoining one, the means of indulgence are so near that pro: hibition has no effect, except to reduce the rev- enue in the one while drinking is increased in the other; and Be it further resolved, That the laws now in foree in the District of Columbia which provide that no bar-room or public place where liquors, wines or beers are to be sold at retail, can be opened in the city of Washington without first obtaining the consent, in writing, of a majority of not only the householders, but also of the property-owners in the locality where the busi- ness ig sought to be conducted, is much better calculated to circumscribe ahd control the traffic of spirituous drinks in said city than any other form of local option law proposed or contemplated; and Be it further resolved, That as the city of Wash- ington Is the social and intellectual center and political metropolis of the United States, to Which peopio rom all sections gravitate, it is our opinion that any sumptuary law made for the government of said city, should be so free from narrow restraint and local prejudices that People from ull sections of the country may find the same facilities for enjoying themselves here that they might find at ome; and Be it finally resolved, That tor the reasons stated, dnd many others equally good, we are opposed to the enactment of any law providing for total prohibition of the liquor traffic in the District of Columbia, for excessive licenses tax and for the submitting of these questions, or VALENTINES IN DEMAND. & Dealer Who Says Cupid Still Reigns in Washington. “For several years past folks have been say- ing that the habit of sending valentines was wearing out,” said a dealer in these love tokens toa Sraz reporter. “It isn’t true. Cupid still reigns, and communicates with his people on the 14th of February. Some dealers got so im- Pressed with the idea that there would be no trade this year that they did not get in a stock of valentines, They were mistaken. The de- mand is as great as it ever was. “Cupid is very clever, and when he sees that people are tiring of his pretty little ways of writing verses with an arrow dipped in the art's blood, he turns to fine art, and appeals to good taste where he can’t find sentiment. His messages this season are of a higher artistic character than any seen before. ‘The price does not increase with the increased beauty of the valentines, You pay about as much as you did last year, but get. something much, prettier. Just look at these.” And he waved his hand over along table where fancy eards and plaques lay as thick as snow flakes. Some of these were exceedingly handsome— bright flowers on white satin, and all sorts of artistio designs.
