The Commissioners have refused to appoint a jury of seven to assess damages to. Mr. Max Lansburg’s property, caused by the widening of Columbia road, and have so written Mr. Al- exander, Mr. Lansburg’s attorney. Captain Symons has recommended that 9500 be expended on the Anacostia road in gravel- ing it; also that a Pipe culvert. be put in at dian Springs on the Sheriff road, and that rail- road companies should put flagmen at the rail- road crossings, LIQUOR LICENSES. The Commissioners yesterday took up again the subject of liquor licenses. There are many nice points daily coming up, which require some little discussion. One point that excites no little attention, both ie part of the ap- plicant and the Commissioners, is that of corner houses. The portion immediately on the corner contains a grocery store, while some distance down one of the streets, separated from the grocery by a partition, is the bar- room for which application is made. The Commissioners, when Passing upon acase of this kind, reject the application on the ground it the place is all under one roof, and, there- fore, on the corner, and reqires the signers on both streets. Many attorneys having cases of this kind, argue that the stand taken by the Commissioners is unjust. They cite the cases of hotels which are only — to obtain the signers on the street on which the bar opens, and of large corner buil se ving stores in’ them, but distinctly se ted frau each other, owever, reject the ap- plieation, making an exception, perhaps, of ose cases which have a between the two the following cases were taken up Approved — Bar-rooms — Louis et; M.

Second Day’s Session of the Columbia Association of the Baptist Church. 4 REPORT ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS DISCUSSED—TUE ‘MISSIONARY SPIRIT—BIBLE AND TRACT DISTRI- BUTION—THE EVOLUTION OF THE TRAUT, RTC. The second day's, session of the Columbia association of the Baptist churches of the Dis- trict was opened this morning at the Calvary church with devotional exercises conducted by W. 8. Olive. The report of the committee on Sunday schools was read by the chairman, R. C. Fox. He prefaced the reading of the report by stat- ing that letters of inquiry were sent to the superintendents of all schools in the associa- tiomso that the statements of the report were based on facts and were not mere theories. ‘The report noted the great interest displayed in the schools in matters of personal religion. It was stated that the system of rewards and prizes was becoming obsolete, Special atten- tion was called to the display of THE MISSIONARY SPIRIT in the Fifth Baptist church in being willing to mortgage their unencumbered church property for the purpose of establishing a mission on 434 street, near the U. 8. Arsenal grounds. The Feport deplored the fact that such a large pro- portion of the church members were not inter- ested in Sunday school work. Rev. . Green, in commenting the report, emphasized the importance of looki: after the spiritual interests of the Sabbat school scholars and bringing home to them the personal question of their souls’ salvation. He thought that this was more a feature of Sunday school work now than in the past. In speaking in the same tone Rev. Mr. Stakely suggested that some ‘ial means be adopted for teaching in the schools the doctrines of the Bible and, the distinctive doctrine of the church, Mr. Z, Richards advocated the teaching of the assembly's catechism, and R. W. Fenwick spoke of the importance of the church mem- bers becoming interested in Sabbath school work, Rev. C. C. Meador, Rev. D. W. Faunce and R. C. Fox took part in the discussion, after which the report was adopted. : BIBLE AND TRACTS. The committee on Bible and tract distribu- tion presented the report through the chair- man, E. B. Curtis. The recommendation was made that the publications of the church be more freely circulated among the church mem- berg. They also urged that the executive board appropriate money for the purc! of tracts, and that the general missionary be instructed to preserve tracts suitable for -distribution by the pastors and others in their work. The re- port also favored the publications in the Bap- tist Beacon of a series of articles on the doc- trines of the church, which could be generally disseminated. aking of tracts and Prof. Otis T. Mason in their uses gave an entertaining account of THE EVOLUTION OF TRACTS. He said a visit toa great library would show that some years ago the tract was very gener- ally employed as a vehicle for reaching people. If the feelings of some one was tobe injured or their character to be attacked a was — As Ra illustration boys ~_ — he sai at in the congressional library was a tract called ae purge for a Catholic priest.” Tracts of this kind were followed by the goody-goody tracts and then came those the object of which was to convey informa- tion, That was the modern tract, and it was the circulation of tracts of the sort that the report recommended. He went on to say that it was not expected that a good healthy boy fifteen years of age would read Jeremy Taylor, Jay’s Morning and Even- ing Exercises, and other devotional books of ‘that sort. The children must be given books that are interesting and suited to modern tastes, an jess reading is su, the children they ait supply inemmatves and perhaps in a way that is not desirable. The was adopted. A recess was taken for lunch, which was served in the Sunday school roomof thechurch by the ladies of the church. ‘THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING SESSIONS, The afternoon session was resumed at 2 o'clock, when the hearing of reports was con- tinued. The meet this evening will be devoted to the pereaniende, the Home for Aged Women. The managers have secured the residence in Georgetown formerly occupied by Jas. 8. Welc, and the home will be removed there. The ? ain property on H street will be lease ainda CRIME AMONG COLORED PEOPLE. An Interesting Question Discussed by the Bethel Society. The Bethel literary society held one of its regular meetings last night at the Metropoli- tan A.M. E. church. The prearranged subject for discussion was the amount of crime com- mitted by the colored people of the District. J. W. Cromwell, president of the society, stated that during the past year the Criminal Court had sent nineteen white men and one hundred and twenty-one colored men to jail, and thirty-four white men and sixty-three col- ored men to the penitent remedy for this state o: activity in the Christian church and the estab- lishment of a clubs. More home training and more Sunday school instruction, was the substance of W. H. Scott's propositions. E. M. Hewlett, the lawyer, defended the col- ored race, and said that more than one-third of the cases made against colored people were unjust; the police made arrests, he said, so as to keep up their record. He charged that many of those sentenced in the Police Court did not have a real trial, and in the Criminal Court many a man was convicted because he had no means with which to engage a good lawyer. “Give the negro more work,” said he, will commit less crime.” He suggested that it would be a good thing to send a lot of the city’s idle poor out into the country to work on farms. AN APEAL TO REPUTABLE COLORED PEOPLE. J. M. Ricks said that the fact cannot be ig- nored that the colored people have constituted the criminal class in this city, and though it may be that many arrests have been made without justification, those who have been convicted are convicted for actual crime. “The colored people,” he said, “are great steal ers, = drunkards, and they have not the fine sensibility as to morals that some other yo have; not because of race, but because of the influences under which they have lived. ‘Those who are in the upper w: of life are not willing to’stoop down to those who are in the gutter, to take hold of them and lift them up, and until the reputable colored people can aid the worthless we must continue to have such an odium heaped upon usasa race.” veral other speakers, among them being F. ©.

He is very tame but very impulsive, We kept him in a stall for awhile, but he made such a fuss and did so much with those little feet that we had to im. I believe,” continued the professor, “that this is the only specimen of ite kind in any zoological garden.” in an adjoining yard are four beantiful An- gora goats with long silken hair. They were presented to the museum by Misses Grace and Maud Parsons, of Natural Bridge, Va. It is understood that these goats were imported di- rectly from Asiatic Turkey. The buffalos, the deer, and in fact all of the animals, are looking well in their new winter coats, THE PROFESSOR AND THE DEER. “There came near being a dead professor some days ago,” said keeper Weeden. “We were to get this black-tailed deer in another Abclosure. Prof. Hornaday thought h was equal to the occasion, and voluntecred his services to engineer him to his new quarters, Buck didn’t like this, and wanted the professor removed. As no one would remove him he undertook that task himself, and had it not been for me the professor would, in all proba- bility, now be chanting with the angels.” Prof. Hornaday, who was standing near by, said it was allso, “The deer did have me down, and would have made short work of me had it not been for Mr. Weeden and his club.” The deer spoken of is a magnificent specimen and has been sketched a number of times, A CRAZY DEER, “I believe this deer is insane,” said the pro- fessor, pointing toa mild-looking creature of the Virginia species. “He won't allow any other animal in his cage, and when one is put in he runs around the yard atatwo minute gait, now and then attacking the animal until we are obliged to take it out.” “Here is the cannibal deer,” continued the rofessor. ‘He was presented to the institu- ion by Captain Hoxie, and has since his ar- rival eaten three chickens and as many rabbits, He is of the Virginia species. In the zoo building the animals, without a single exception, are all in excellent condition. The large black bears at the western end of the building have grown a fine black coat and await saxioutly foc thelr yard, which is being grav- eled, to be completed. ‘The jaguar still continues his restless pace and seems to have grown more beautiful. The homing pigeons are rapidly increasing and Liberty and Minstrel have a complete minstrel troupe. The grizzly bear cubs still while away the hours in play. They havea visitor now, the cinnamon bear, and their tricks are always watched by a large audience. AN ANNEX FOR TROPICAL BIRDS AND ANIMALS, There has been an addition to the present building, designed for tropical birds and ani- mals. Already it is nearly full. In one end huge lazy elephant tortoises attract no little attention. They were collected by the United States fish commission steamer Albatross at the Galentagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador. They subsist mostly on vegetables, and are fond of pumpkin. y have no commercial value, however, as their shells are too coarse and their meat bitter. The monkeys have a fine home in here. The spider-monkey has a lively companion in a white-throated capuchin. GALLANTRY OF THE SPIDER-MONKEY, ‘Tue Stan reporter gave the spider-monkey & bit of candy, which he promptly gave to his female companion amid great chattering. A cage with a tank of water in it is the home of a family of alligators. Here it is that one of the great attractions of the zoo besports himeelf. It is a soft-shell turtle, and its = ee ee in them- selves, “Dese yer is ole frens ob mine,” said gn old colored man, ‘ing of a cage of % “but the Lord knows dat I wants m to do wid dem dar porkey-pines; dey don’ look like dey, war ft to eat, Dese yer i what I is skoered of.” he continues int to a cage of rattle- snakes, “I or gree the mountains of Virginia, I laid off to ketch one.

A sensible girl will not keep a lot of cosmet- ics and drugs on her toilet table, but there are a few articles which she should always have in convenient place. She should have an ar-ay of glass stopped bottles containing alcohol, or vaseline. A little camphor and water may be used as a wash for the mouth and throat if the breath is not sweet. Powdered alum ap- plied to a fever sore will prevent it from be- coming very unsightly and noticeable. Insect stings or eruptions on the skin are removed by alcohol. A tow grains of alum in tepid water will relieve people whose hands freely, rendering them unpleasantly moist. A few drops of sulphuric acid in the water are also beneficial for this purpose, and are also desirable for those whose feet perspire freely. We should alwa ecommend care in the use of scented soap; in many cases the perfume is | simply a disguise for poor quality. A good | glycerine or honey soap is always preferable. Of course, one may rely on . from a high class manufacturer, but it costs more than it is worth. for bathing, white castile should be ke washing the hair. Occasionally a little or ammonia may be used for this purpose, but it is usually to harsh in its effects. A chert it a Marre Wiraersre’s Suir ror Liet.. suit of Marie A.

BUSINESS OF THE ROAD IN WASHINGTON. President Spencer says, in relation to the business in this city: “The want of additional yard room at Washington, D.

It has for some years been the exception that freight destined for Washington has not been seriously delayed at Martinsburg, Washington Junction, and Baltimore for want of room for its reception and delivery at Wash- ington. The new yard is expected to remedy this difficulty, and to thus attract additional business.” IX REGARD TO FUTURE REQUIREMENTS the reportsays: ‘Still, many extensive improve- ments are required at various points on your system in order to secure much-needed eoono- mies of service.

Opens ‘Why She Does Not Ride. A SACRIFICE MRS. CLEVELAND 18 SAID TO MAKE TO THE PRESIDENT'S WISHES. An article on “Riding in Washington” in the Cosmcpolitan says: “The resolution of the President not to encourage by example as well as by precept the sport to which the national capital is so madly devoted, has been the cause of no little secret grief to them. Some of the less democratic of the court circle of the re- public feel that the chief executive, like the Prince of Wales, should be a social leader, the active and toremost patron of all those pleasant but futile schemes to make life one glorious | holiday, Hard to bear as has been his refusal to imperil the affairs of state by risking his neck on the unstable back of a fieet-footed | steed, they have refused to be consoled for | Mrs. Cleveland's abstinence from riding. Her | friends have importuned her with a nee worthy of the cause that they have at heart to = their tanbark tournaments and their simu- jated fox hunts; they have pictured to her the pleasure and ‘exhilaration of these divine | sports; but to the entreating words and smilés | of lodies and the gracious and eloquent speech of men, she has been unyielding. Wh this apparent obstinancy, so charming that it ought to havea finer and more fit name, has been due to dislike of riding or deference to her husband's wishes, it were idle culate, Still I can not re’ mentioning the fact that there was a time in life. before she assumed the grave and onerous duties of the first of the land, when she was rather fond of ridi Nor must I fail to mention also how a young statesman | who, though not ¢0 eloquent as Webster or and city, The | Clay, can ride better than either, once called at | the White House with the gentlest and most comely of animals to invite her to ride; how, like Agrippa, she was “almost persuaded” to accept the invitation; how the President, with sweet and gentle firmness, interposed | how the young wife, mindful oath to obey her husband, yielded will; how the young’sta , unreconciled to his di intment by the profusion of thanks his kindness and courtesy F 28 fitch fe complainant could not extend the words of the and that an innuendo could not supply the place of the colloquium.
