et ae id Sie * G. A. R. TURKEYS. The Christmas Dinuer to be Given to Poor Widows and Orphans. The Grand Army posts in this city have been in the habit for several years past of giving a Christmas dinner. This year will be no excep- tion. The preliminary arrangements are being made, and ins few days the entire committee of arrangements will be appointed. John A. Rawlins post, No. 1, has taken the lead in this matter and has appointed two of its members, J. R. Whitney and Chas, Boyd, to represent the poston the general committee, Mr, Whitney was chairman of the committee last year, ahd the widows and orpbans and the poor bers: of the Grand Army can no doubt testify that the dinner was a great success, Each of the posts interested in this matter will appoint two members to pt oo them on the committee. Then they contribute the necessary funds, the various a ving such amounts as they feel able. With this money turkeys, cranberries, and all the “fixin’s” of a first-class Chri dinner are purchased. and on the appointed day all the good things are set forth on a table which is laid in the Grand Army hall. The in- vited guests, with as many of their hosts as can be accommodated. sit down to the feast, and gennine Christmas cheer is enjoyed. This pleasant custom has become so popular that it likely to be continued each year. The com- trades say that the expense, divided among so many, is small, while the amount of happiness conferred is very great.

Haller, Marion, Va.; Kobert H. Jones, Martinsville, Va,; Jas. H. Rodeffer, Woodstock, Va. Teller and Tabor. IF THE LATTER SHOULD COME IN TO THE SENATE THE LATTER WILL GO OUT. The New York Times yesterday stated that a number of influential republicans from Colo- rado held an informal conference Tuesday at the Fifth avenue hotel, the subject under dis- cussion being the senatorial canvass now pro- ceeding in the Centennial state. The candi- dates already named are the present Senator, Thomas C. Bowen. Ed. Wolcott, ex-Senators Tabor and Hill. and David H. Moffitt, the Den- ver banker. Among those present at the con- ference were Senator ,Teller, State Senator Samuel Adams, D. H. Moffitt. Col. John Arkins, and Mr. Metealf. In the discussion the name of Tabor came up and this is said to have aroused Senator Teller to such an extent that he said, “If the legislature elects Tabor they may as well elect another Senator in lace, for {I will not serve in Senate with a colleague of the of Tabor, who, when Senator before, was the laughing-stock of the country.” Mr. Teller is also said to have made some sarcastic remarks about Senater Tabor’s three-dollar ™igenator Teller wh by a Star reportei nator Teller when seen by a Star re r last evening said that he had been misquoted. “What I did say.” said he, “was that if Mr. Tabor was elected I would not, two years hence, be a cendidate for re-election. I didn’t say I would resign if he were elected. When I was elected for this term I pledged myself not to resign. and I shall not break my pledge. I may have stid something about not caring to the Senate with Mr. Tabor. That possibility does not trouble me, however, because I do not think there is the slightest chance for Mr. Tabor; he cannot be elected.” Queer Conduct of a Colored Man. BE SAYS HE WAS HAD SOME TROUBLE WITH HIS WIFE AND THAT HAS AFFECTED HIS MIND. Yesterday afternoon Miss Alice Hubbard, who lives at Ist and B streets northeast, found a young colored man in the hallway of her house. She questioned him and he told her that he was waiting for Senator Kenna. Miss Hubbard told him that Senator Kenna did not live there, but he insisted that the Senator would arrive in # few minutes, and Miss Hub- bard gave him aseat in the hallway. Soon afterward she found him in one of the bed- rooms and he explained that he was admiring the house. He was told tobe seated or leave the house, whereupon he went out and met Officer Burdette, to whom he complained that his wife was in Miss Hubbard's and he wanted tosee her. The officer went with the colored man to the house and learned that there was no colored servant employed there. He was then placed under arrest and taken to the sta- tion, where he gave his name as Walter G.

He said that he called at the capitol yesterday to see Senator Kenna, and not finding him there, he went to where he thought the Senator’s office was. His mother gave testimony to show that the statements made bythe defendant were true, and the judge accepted his personal bonds.

He and those before him were certainly not less honored. To this day there are plenty of men who imitate Jackson in both dress and man- ne When Grant came into the White House there appeared on the streets of Washington a man of his size and general build, with his whiskers cropped short all around his face and a cigar in his mouth. Without being made up, he probably bore a slight resemblance to the general. Dressed like him, barbered in his style, adsipting his walk, and imitating his the morning smoking, as was Grant's custom, and he was in the hotel lobbies nearly ever: evening, walking about to be seen. His day's work was @ success, and he probably slept soundly if once or twice during the twenty- four hours he was addressed as general—with atip of the hat. I do not know what his busi- ness was, nor whether he made any money out of his resemblance. \ Hayes was not a man of such characteristics as animate imitation. But be had his shadow in a long-whiskered, mild-mannered man. He had to be content with being stared and getting a wild sort of notoriety. He had to avoid bar-rooms to keep » thé resemblance, \d no one ever —— of asking him to. take a drink on the strength of his face. He hada thirsty existence for a hotel hanger-on. Several men with fancied resemblance to Mr. Arthur tried to imitate him, but one only really looked like him. Next to Mr. arth this one was the most admired man in Washington by women. He may have been a few years younger than the President, and he was, of course, a very handsome man. On pleasant afternoons he used to stroll along the streets in the fashionable northwest, creating quite a sensation. Before him, Garfield had an imitator who bore a striking resemblance to the original. He even bad the habit of throwing his head back with a shake when he walked. When Cleveland came in there were fac- similes springing up in all directions, and ap- parently without any intention on their part to get fame as proxies. The most striking re- sembiance is, as has often been commented on, that between the President and Representative Cogswell. There is no pretense about that. The man who was chosen Mr. Cleveland's marshal of the District prides himself on his resemblance to the President, though it is some degrees remote. Of all the men I know who dislike Mr. Cleveland, the most violent in their untipathy are two who bear considerable re- semblance to him. To me the resemblance does not —— nearly as striking as some have seen, but in the eyes of ‘most people it is remarkable. One of ‘these is a democratic newspaper man, who warmly detests the Presi- dent for his civil service reform. The other is Representative Mason of Illinois, Both are easily offended by reference to the likeness. The other night I was in the lobby and dis- covered that Mr. Harrison’s double come. He was walking back and forth through the lobby and stopping now and then to give the crowd a chance to see him. He appeared to be @ perfect stranger, and no one seemed to know where he came from. He did not speak to any one, but sauntered and posed, while scores of people stopped to look at him, struck by the resemblance. Many of the hungry office-seek- | ers half believed it was the President-elect, and | were inclined to seize upon and devour him. De Lesseps’ New Loan Succeeds. THE FRENCH UNEXPECTEDLY ABSORB ‘ANOTHER BIG LOT OF PANAMA CANAL BONDS. M. De Lesseps has again succeeded in avert- immediate disaster to his Panuma canal scheme, and that too without receiving direct aidfrom the French government. The new loan, which for some time he has been trying to raise in France. and which was generally re- garded as predoomed to failure, has unexpect- edly succeeded. There was a great crush at the Paris office of the canal yesterday, At 4 o'clock a bush fell over the throng and M.

Amid cheering. weeping, and mutual congratulations ali present shook hands with Lesseps. When the excitement had partially abated the news went round that 410,000 bonds had been subscribed for in Paris and the same num- ber in the provinces. Marseilles alone took 80,000 bonds. An official of the company re- placed M. De Lesseps and announced that the subscription list would be kept open until Sat- urday noon. It is reported that numbers im- mediately renewed their subscriptions, the re- ceiving clerks being completely ovértaxed. ee a Four Cartloads of Treasure.

THE FEDERATION OF LABOR TO TAKE PART IN THE AGITATION. In his address at the opening of the Ameri- can federation of labor in St. Louis, President Gompers, speaking of the eight-hour move- ment, suggested that the subject should be re- ferred to a special committee, in order that practical results might follow. He continued: “I would est further that we should en- courage the formation of eight-hour leagues in every city and town, and trades-unions and labor unions should be represented in them; not to conflict with local central labor unions or trade councils, but to concentrate their efforts upon the eight-hour movement alone.

THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C.. FOREIGNERS IN THE NAVY. Naval Officers Do Not Feel Alarmed About Their Preponderance. From the New York Times. Inspection of the pay-rolls: of the cruiser Boston shows that about two-thirds of the crew are foreign born. Statistics are not readily available, but it is safe to say that very nearly two-thirds of the enlisted men, both in the navy and in the marine corps, were born abroad. The Boston’s muster-roll shows pretty clearly where the United States navy gets her seamen. Out of 209 men 7% claim an American birth- place, but many of the names indicate that the bearers are of Irish, German or Scandinavian descent. Of the remaining 135 men 82 are Iris! 15 Germans, 12 Swedes, 11 English, 11 Japan- ese, 9 Norwegians, 9 Canadians (including all British provinces in America). 7 Danes, 6 Scotchmen, 6 from the West Indies, 6 Finns, 2 Russians, and 1 each from France, Italy, Bel- ium, Greece, Austria, Wales, Australia, Ma- ira, and the East Indies. The | a eepomeme of foreign-born seamen in the ‘ican navy was made the special subject of discussion in Admiral Porter's an- nual report some time ago, and was then repre- sented in the light of a menace to the nation. Inquiry among officers at the navy-yard indi- cates that the admiral'’s report caused much less sensation in the service than among lands- men and civilians. Hardly an officer could be found to agree with the statement that the pre- dominance of foreign-born sailors was _a men- ace to the navy, and few seemed to think it a disadvantage. Said Admiral Gherardi: “I am by no means prepared to admit that two-third of our seamen are. foreigners, whatever their birthplace or parentage. During the war Con- gress passed a law making three years’ service in the navy equivalent to naturalization. I am not informed that that law has ever been repealed. The ordinary term of enlistment is ‘at three years, and a majority of the men re-enlist at the end of that time. I would not say the presence of these men is either a men- ace or a disadvantage.” Lieut. Harry Knox, executive officer of the Boston and commanding officer during the ab- sence of Capt. Ramsay, discussed this question in an interesting ner. He said in sub- stance: ‘‘The foreign seamen are not a menace, but I think the scarcity of American seamen is @ disadvantage. come from ireland, Germany, 0 country—Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. They are hardy, competent seamen, and do #l work wel The German and north country seamen are especially valuable because of their sobriety. Give ten men leave of absence. five being Germans and five Americans, Irish, Eng- lish, or Scotch, and the Germans will return sober and ready for work, the remainder will | come back tipsy. “The pay is better in the United States navy than in that of any other country. and thi draws foreigners over. On the other hand, Americans can generally make more money, perbaps, in the merchant marine, and certain in a'most any other bus'ness, than in the Ameri- can navy. Consequently the average American comes to the navy as a last resort. In case of actual warI think there would be no lack of patriotism either in the navy or the merchant marine, and that there would be little to fear from lack of seamen.” — e@e How a Gregt Cardinal Died. From Cotate de Brienne’s Memoirs. I was walking in the new apartment of his palace, when I heard, owing to the noise which his slippers made, that Cardinal Mazarin was coming. I hid myself bebind the tapestry and I heard him speaking aloud. “Ab! I must leave all this.” and he halted at every step, he was 80 weak, looking on one side, then on the | other. Glancing at the articles which struck him most, he exclaimed, sighing from the bottom of his heart, “I must leave all this. I had so much trouble in acquiring these things, andI leave them with regret. [shall not see them any more where I aw going to.” I sighed heavily, so that he heard me. ‘Who is there?” he suid. ‘It is I,” I replied; “I was waiting here to speak to your emin- ence of an important letier.” “Come,” he said, in a piteoux tone--he was only attired in a furred dressing-gown with a nightcap on his head. ,““Give me your hand; I am very weak.” He would not let me speak to him on business, “Tam no longer in a fit state,” said he; “speak to the king, and do what be says. Look at this beautiful Correggio, this Venus by Titian, and this incomparable picture of the Flood by Caraccio, 1 must leave all these. Adieu, my dear pictures, which I have liked so much, and which have cost me so much money!” * * * Four or five days before his death ‘the cardinal had himself shaved and his moustache curled. He was so mga. ed smothered with paint that he never looke white and so pink. He then took a turn in the garden in his sedan chair, whereby he accelerated his death, which drew from the courtiers the heartless remark — hypocrite he lived, and a hypocrite he je ———— cee Ministers in Congress. From the St. Louis Republic. Four of five preachers were running for Con- gress this year, but the chances are that only two of the aspiring parsons will be members of the next House—Mr. Owens, of Indiana, and Mr. Lester, of Virginia. The former is of the Congregational faith, and next March will enter upon his third term. The latter will be anew member. He is a hardshell Baptist. Parson McKinney. of New Hampshire, who failed to be re-elected on November 6, is a Universalist preacher. Parson Steck’ was nominated for Congress by the democrats up in Pennsylvania, but the wicked republicans revailed so against him that he will not help legislate during the next two yeara, Parson Owens, of Indiana, is a meek little man, who doesn’t have much to say in Congress, but Parson Lester, of Virginia, when he comes into the House, is going to be heard. Indeed it is said that he has such a [ soige voice that there will be no shutting jim off when he takes a notion to talk. He is a tall, slender, raw-boned man, with very dark hair and moustache, and has the reputa- tion down in his country of being an exhorter, the like of whom hasn’t been produced this century in Virginia. When he gets warmed up his voice can be heard for a quarter of a mile, more or less, out in the open air. The Virgin — can fill the vacuum made by the with- rawal of Congressman Taulbee, of Kentucky, from the House. The Kentuckian was edu- cated for the ministry, and has preached some, but is now of the legal profession. Mr. Taulbee has the loudest and most resonant voice of any man now in Congress, perhaps, and during the last session it will be remembered that Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said, when interrupted by Mr. Taulbee: “I cannot talk against a brass band, neither can I talk against the voice of the gentleman from Kentucky.” sean ete ae. A Child’s Reason. From the Youth's Companion, A noted Sunday-school worker living in Kat sas was once asked to talk to the children of a Sunday-school on the subject of temperance. He is very earnest inthe cause, and wearsa bit of blue ribbon as a badge of his principles. Rising before the school. he pointed to his bit of blue ribbon, and said: ‘Now, can any of you children give me a reason why I am not a drunkard?” There was no ly fora moment, then a childish voice in "the rear of the room piped out: “Cause this is a prohibition town!” ——— 20 An Unpopular Room.

Of all the social nuisances inflicted on saffere ing humanity the musical fiend is perhaps the most obnoxious to sensitive natures, He is the more objectionable because he cannot be well avoided; he requires no foil, like that invet- erate bore, the le retailer of stale jokes, but will sit by himself and disseminate all around him, as it were, unconsciously, the influence of his ity. ‘One of the worst: of the cinss is the specimens man bad beats time oe foot or Loe aie 1e an com) er Tappens fo be a walts hall opera. 6 has a worthy counterpart ie man who “hums the tune.” Another horror is the obli individual one meets in social circles who is wildly anxious to turn the leaves for the pianist, but being utterly unable to follow the player, invariably does so at the wrong moment ‘and occasionally a loose page on the floor, which he picks up and re- places upside down. There is another specimen of the sens, who insists on learning the name of the piece played: only to receive an incorrect answer m his neighbor. Who does not eer loathe the man that in the dead silence whic! follows the performance of a song by an ama- teur of moderate powers, ibly remarks that he heard Pati mn, or Campanini (as the case may be) sing that song most exquisitely? Then there is the gentleman who is great on plagiarisms and always discerning them where hey do not exiat—the amateur composer who invents tunes, plays thom with one finger, or whistles them and gets ‘one of those profes- sional fellows to write them down.” Perhaps, however. he has a gift of improvis- ing on the piano, although as he tells you, he does not know a note of music. In such cases, escape from the room while he is absorbed in his k, is the only remedy. Another trying example of his kind is the explanatory demon, who tells his friend in an audible undertone all about the composition in course of per- formance, his statements being so utterly wide of ‘the mark as to make one entertain murder- ous thoughts, At the risk of being considered ungallant, it may also be stated that those ladies who per- | sistently fan themselves without regard for the rhythm of the mnsic, maintaining one unyield- ing metronomic tempo, innocently cause a great deal of distress to musicians of nervous temperament. It may be urged in palliation of the offenses of these good people, that their intentions are good, although their realization are the cause of much suffering to others. easter tracetg Pw Ae A Basy Lacenatep Bi a Cat.—At Bridge- port, Conn., Mrs. A.
