THE EXERCISES THIS AFTERNOON—THE CoM- MITTEE OF RECEPTION—OBJECTS ON EXHIBI- TION TO-DAY—A COMPLAINT OF TARDINESS AMONG EXHIBITORS. The industrial exhibition of the colored citi- zens of the District will be formally opened this afternoon at four o’clock at Bethel hail,on M street, between 16th and 17th streets. While there is not that apperanee of incompleteness about the exhibits which is always observed on the opening day of similar exhibitions, still enough has already been done to show what the exhibition will be. The managers complain of the tardiness on the part of the exhibitors, but are of the opinion that if the exhibition is ever to be opened it must be done on the day advertised, and in this way the exhibitors will be hurried up, Everything admitted to the ex- hibition is the work of colored and there is @ great deal that shows not only intelligent mastery ot tue principles of che trade involved, but aiso skill and taste in the execution, WOMAN'S WORK. Some of the work exhibited by the ladies would bear comparison with some of the best results attained in @ decorative art school. ‘There are designs worked on plush and velvet with the needie and the brush that are beauti- fal in effect, and where they have been uphol- stered on chairs and cushions fine artistic tur- uiture is the result. Perhapsa step still further in advance in the decorative arts Is seen in the plaster figures,which are well proportioned and very credilable productions.

For instance, @ brick doorway is being constructed in the buliding, and alsoa brick tire place, which is intended to show what excellent work the col- ored brick masons can do. ‘Then there is furni- ture aud cabinet work exhibited, which shows not ouly a knowjedge of the trade, but con- siderable ingenuitg in making combinations So that one piece of furniture can be made to serve & variety of pur] ‘The Saturday class of Howard university, which is composed ‘of boys irom the city who are not students in the university, have placed on exhibition a miniature house, with glazed moveabie win- dows and doors ‘tha. cau be opened.

It can be made a thorouguly successful one as well it properly carried out, and if the preparations are so promptly made that the drill can pre- empt the ground and can also be thoroughly advertised all over this country early enough to give all volunteer organizations an equal chance to drill and prepare for competition with the noted “cracks” sure to be in attend- ance. ‘That a larger number of troops dan be col- lected around the Washington monument than have everbetore assembled for competitive dri that such soldiers will draw with them—from their respective neighborhoods and to see them. trom ail quarters—more visitors than any other attraction; and that the city Itselt, as an object of national interest and curiosity, will greatly Swell the crowds, are all foregone ‘conclusions.

What direct money advantage such gather- ings always prove to the business Interests of the comniunities that attract tiem, is very gen- erally xnown by business men, and I have seen it suggested tat even 1,000,000 of visitors might ve induced to Washington by this drill.

MARK TWAIN SATIRIZES WIGGINS. “Mark Twain” has entered the ficld of pre- diction and publishes in the New York Sun to- day the following: “As a result of the most careful observation of the aspect of the fixed stars during the past two months, as affected by the remarkable changes now going on in the great nebula in G Cassiopela, 1 am able to state with absolute certainty that by far the most awful disaster that has ever befallen the globe ‘since its creation will occur on the of October at 9:42 in the evening. The nt will be a meteoric stone—a meteoric world, indeed, since its mass will be one-eighth as great as that of our own sphere. It will first come in sight about bait ‘be- tween the constellation of the Great Bear and the north star, and -will make the circle of the southern skies and then sweep northward with immeasurable rapidity, turning the night of this whole continent into ared glare of the most blinding intensity. As it approaches Canada it will make a majestic downward swoop in the direction of Ottawa, affording spectacle resembling & million inverted rain- bows woven together, and will take the propnet Wiggins right in the Seat of his inspiration and lift him straignt up into. the back yard of the Janet Mars and leave him permanently there nan inconceivably mashed and unpleasant condition. ‘This can be depended on,” Brooklyn's Clerical Scandal. ‘A PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER CHARGED WITH HAVING TOO MANY WOMEN IN HIS FAMILY. The trial of the Rev. Benjamin Staunton, pas- tor of the Fort Greene Presbyterian church, upon charges of conduct unbecoming a minis ter, in that he treated his wife with extreme cruelty and kept another woman in his house in opposition to her wishes, has been begun by the Brooklyn presbytery. Dr. Talmage, who was himself tried by the same body upon charges of deceit and falsehood seven years ago, presided at this trial. Mr. Staunton, who is a comparatively young man, does not appear greatly concerned about the outcome ot the i . Mrs. Staunton was not present owing to iness. ‘The Rev. Mr. Foote made the opening address for the prosecution. In it he described the shocking ill-treatment alleged to have been in- flicted by Mr. Staunton upon his wife as found by the committee of the presbytery which in- vestigated the matter.. He had kept Mrs. Mary Luidler, the daughter of a Congregational min- ister, whois divorced trom her busband and goes by her maiden name, at his house contrary to his wlie’s wishes aud had neglected his wife in order te pay attentions to Mrs, Laidier. They sang together and she frequently visited him when Mrs. Stauntoh was away trom home. On one occasion Mr, Staunton bad lost an Albany boat that he pur 3d taking on his way to Suratoga because he wanted to remain with Mrs. Laidler. Joho H, Trevor, a brother of Mrs. Staunton, testified that he lived with Mr. and Mrs, Staun- ton a short time in 1884. Mrs. Mary Luidler lived there at the same time, and she went to ‘Ube house to live in Augost before Mrs. Staun- ton had got home from « summer trip to Sara- toga springs. Mrs. Laidler kept the house while Mrs, Staunton was away, ir, Staunton praised her highly and said she was a fine woman with anangel voice, a woman of iew ‘words but great actions. One day Mr. Staun- ton Went up to the bedchaumber on the second floor while the witness was in the parlor be- neath. Mr. Staunton cailed to Mrs. Laldler, who was in the basement, “Come up here and heip me move the books.” She went up and they shut themselves in a hall bedroom, Aiter about fifteen minutes Mr. Staunton went down to the parlor singing, and soon Mrs. Laidier foilowed him, hen Mrs. Staunton reached bome she asked her brother what he thought of the plan of having Mrs. Laidler remain at the house, and he told her he would object to it, and she suid it would be of little use ior her ‘W ruise any objection, for her husvand would insist, and tor the suke of peace and harmony she would have tw ask Mrs. Laidler to remain. Mrs. Laidier and Mr. Staunton sat up late at nightatter Mrs, Staunton bad gone to bed.
