The President and Mrs. Harrison had sent with their congratula- tions a large floral slipper made of saffron as- ters, filled with white roses, and mounted upon a cushion of smilax that was studded with yel- low roses. A card attached bore the names of the givers. The reception party stood within the iret drawing-room to receive the guests and their good wishes. The admiral wore his uni- form, and looked unusually well and happy. By his side stood the bride of half a century ago. Mrs. Porter wore a trained dress of gold brocade, with the a the neck filled with point lace; she wore a diamond pendant and and her own beautiful hair dressed low a back of her shapely head and fastened with a diamond comb.

At 10 o'clock the ‘ty from the White House ar- rived. The President escorted Mrs. McKee, who wore a square bodiced gown of blue tulle and silk that was vastly becoming to her; Mr. Russell Harrison brought his beautiful yor wife, who wore a princesse trained gown 0 pele pink brocade. Vice-President Morton was with them, and shortly after their arrival the dining-room was thrown open. Mrs. Lieut. Logan went out with Mr. Harrison and Admiral Porter escorted Mrs. McKee to the table and placed her at the head of it.

Mrs. Dickinson will be at home to callers on Thursday afternoons in March. The family of Secretary of the Navy Tracy consists of himself, wife, two daughters. and one son. The health of Mrs. Tracy is under- stood to be not yery and it is therefore probable that thesocial duties of the Secretary's i t will mainly devolve upon daughters, Mrs, Wilmerding and Miss A The ladies have spent much time abroad, and will no doubt prove a decided acquisition to Pry per society.

The honorary pall- bearers wore sashes of black, with black ro- settes, They were the following named: Chief Justice Fuller, Commissioner of Pensions Black, ex- ‘er Carlisle, Interstate Commerce Com- missioner Morrison, First Assistant Postmaster- General Stevenson and ex-Land Commis- sioner Sparks. Following the pall-bear- ers were the members of congressional delegation, wearing white sashes, who were: Senator Blackburn, Senator Farwell, Repre- sentatives Springer and Henderson, Illinois; Cutcheon, of Michigan; Maish, ot Pennsyl- yania; Yoder, of Ohio; Cox and Tracy, of New wi Gibson, of Maryland, and Allen, of Mis- ‘PP! The pall-bearers and the members of the congressional delegation walked from the Riggs house to the church, and following the hearse were the members of the family and ds in carriages. The widow was accom- Se by Dr. Smith Townshend, of this city, a rother of the deceased, and her son and daughter, Upon the arrival of the cortege at the church the casket was borne up the center aisle and _— in front of the altar with lighted can- ateach end. During the entrance of the funeral into the church the regular choir, direction of Mr. Gannon, sang the Miserere. While the office of the dead was said the choir sang the Libera. DR. CHAPELLE OFFICIATED, assisted by Rev. Father Walter,and the regular funeral service was read. Upon its conclusion Father Chappelle pronounced a brief discourse, taking as the theme of his remarks the words of Job: “I know that my Redeemerdiveth,” &c. He spoke of the hope of immortality cherished by man, and said that it was strange that there were men who were indifferent to such a Us It ought to give direction to the lives of al That we are not, as the animals, without a hope of a future life, the speaker said, been recently pointed out a of the striking speech by one most distinguished Senators. There is an impassable chasm between man and the lower creation. ~There is death and dissolution, but the principle of life, the identity of the soul, re- mains. There isa just God in Heaven, and as justice is not done in this world it must be done in another. The dignity of manhood, said the speaker, man’s moral senses, his desire for hap- piness, goes to show that man cannot be mis- taken in the belief that he has the spirit of life that shall never die. This is the controlling thought to be a on an occasion like this when surrounding the coffin of friend and a man like the late Representative Town- shend. Father Chapelle than briefly REVIEWED THE LIFE OF THE DECEASED. He was born iu Maryland, in that part of the country, said the — where was first pro- claimed religious liberty. That privilege was still enjoyed, and the reverend father charac- terized as the worst enemies of mankind those zealots who seek to stir up religious sstrife and to array public sentiment against any particu- lar denomination. Such was not, he said, the spirit of the dead Representative. Although not brought up in the doctrines of the Catholic church, yet when his life partner became a member of that church he threw no obstacles in the way of her religious life or in the proper sraining of the family. During the last ys of his life he expressed, Dr. Chapelle said, a desire to be- long to that ancient church and to worship be- fore the altars of that —— and society which emerging from the catacombs exerted a civilizing, humanizing influence upon the world and originated what was best in modern political institutions. The career of the de- ceased, where as school teacher, lawyer and member of Congress, he exerted an influen- tial and beneficial influence on the history of the country, was dwelt upon. He paid a trib- ute to the probity, moral purity and disinter- estedness of the deceased. He was true to his friends, but neither his friendship or his af- fection for others ever induced him to swerve from the path of duty. The speaker referred to his relations with the District as a member of the House District committee, and said that he did all he could to forward the measures that he knew would be useful to the District. In this he though not merely of the welfare of the residents of the District, but of the greater fact that Washing- ton is not a provincial town but it is the capital | city of this great country, and all the nation is interested in its prosperity and welfare. In conclusion, the preacher said that this record of an upright life is the source of the greatest consolation to the relatives and friends of the deceased in their present affliction. The lesson of the occasion taught all that they should live like men. To live like men was to live like a son of God, and such a life would enable one to triumph in death. TAKEN TO OAK HILL, Upon the conclusion of the discourse the casket was borne to the hearse, followed by the large congregation. The interment was made, temporarily, in a vault at Oak Hill cem- etery. The attendance at the funeral included nearly all the members of the House now in the city and a large number of Senators, besides a num- ber of the leading citizens of the District, Among those present. were Senator Ingalls, Senator Barbour, Representatives Randall, O'Neill, Mills and Breckenridge, District Com- missioners Webb and Wheatley, Marshal Wilson, ex-District Commissioner Edmonds, IndianCom- missioner Oberly, Second Assistant Postmaster- General Knott, Norris Peters, and the follow- ing committee of the American shipping and industrial league: Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Mr. A. Vanderbilt, Hon. H. D. Tone . Hon. E. John Ellis, Hon. Horatio King, Mi j. MM Parker, Mr. John H. Magruder, Maj. Chas. 8. HONORING MR. TOWNSHEND’S MEMORY. There was a large meeting last night at Wil- lard’s of the Dlinois congressional delegation and friends, both in and out of Congress, of the late Representative Townshend, to take appro- priate action respecting his death. Judge Mar- shall presided. Feeling addresses were made by Senators Farwell and Biackburn, Judge hall. Hon. 8, 8. Cox, Hon. Geo. E. Adams, Q. C. Browning and others, Resolutions were adopted expressive of the grief of the friends of the deceased. “His memory,” the resolutions declared, ‘is Py eo with lessous of encouragement an lope. Arising from the masses o! le, taking lain honor and industry and cous For hie guide, he secured a place in the co1 nee and esteem of his associates, and worked his way up to the position of exalted usefullness, which he adorned for m years.

Mr. Myron M. Parker, who has been urged by his friends to be a candidate for the’office of District and whose name would have been presented to the President with the strong endorsement not only of many leading citizens of Washington, but also of many men prominent in Congress, last evening sent to ‘Tue Eventxe Sra office a card as follows: To the Editor of Tae Evexixo Star: Thave been urged by a large number of friends to be ‘s candidate for District Commissioner. To be a Com- minionee sad avid criticism would necessitate the a eg ER ee onal oem When asked by a Star reporter to-day wh; yy a Stan y why he declined to be a candidate for District Com- missioner, Mr, Parker replied, as stated in his card, that he did net fee] justified in making 80 great a business sacrifice. “To be a Com- missioner four years,” said Mr. Parker, ‘‘would involve a loss of $50,000, the abandonment of business and the interests of my customers who have entrusted their business with me. No man can go out of business four years and resume it again. The conditions constantly change and the procession moves on. The Post intimates that the real estate men want to dictate the appointment, but that is all amistake: Only one gentleman in this busi- ness ever spoke to me on the subject, and that was Mr, Warner. He told me I was an idiot to even think of taking it, I was asked to take it by bankers, merchants, lawyers and business men generally without regard to sections. Col. Britton would have had a unanimous support, but he has'never for one moment thought of taking the office. Months ago he asked me to be a candidate and only ceased'to support me esterday, after I had fully made up my mind, hat we want is a Commissioner who will fairly represent all sections and interests, and —— such @ man will be selected I entertain no loubt.”” ‘M. M. Pannen. PRA te Gone S 1 ASSESSOR’S APPOINTMENTS. Mr. P. N. Dwyer Alleges that the Com- missioners have Violated the Laws. Some days ago Mr. P. N. Dwyer applied to the District Commissioners for the position of assessor. His application was denied. To-day Mr. Dwyer had a talk with Commissioner Wheatley, in which he charged the Commis- sioners with a violation of the law, in that they had appointed a man to be an assessor who was not a resident of the district to which he was assigned. Mr. Wheatley denied this and told Mr. Dwyer to put the matter in writing. Mr. Dwyer did this in the following letter: Hon. Commissioners, District of Columbia: Gentlemen: Some days ago I msde verbal applica- tion to the assessor for the position of assessor for dis- trict from 1st to 6th street west. I did not require much foresight to see that I would not get the position. I then asked for the district to which Mr. Barker was appointed. The assessor informed me that he had recommended Mr. Barker, and that he would be ap- Pointed ; also that I was not a resident of that district, and could not be appointed to samme unless the law was violated. |I quote the law ose * hail appoint one assessor to each sub- district, who bea resident thereof.” Page 569.

ORDERS MADE UPON THE SUBJECT BY THE INTER- STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION, The interstate commerce commission has ordered that all advances and reductions in joint rates, fares and charges shown upon joint tariffs established by common carriers subject to the provisions of the act to regulate com- merce shall be made public. Every such ad- vance or reduction shall be so published, by plainly printing the seme in lerge type. two copies of which shall be posted for the use of the public in two conspicuous places in every depot where passengers or freight are received for transportation. Such schedules shall be posted ten days prior to the taking effect of any advance, and three days prior to the taking | effect of any reduction. The commission aiso | order that a notification be sent to each of the railway carriers, composing what is known as the Trunk line association. to appear before the commission in this city on Saturday, November 16, for the purpose’ of showing what their ex- port rates are and how they ure made by each of them, and also for the furpose of giving each of these carriers an opportunity to be heard concerning the manner of making and publishing said rates, “Are Colored People N To the Editor of Tae Evexine Sr The writer in yesterday's § the above heading, using the signature of “Ap- propriations,” did an injustice—inadvertently, -glected?” mt: perhaps, but still a very serious injustice—to a | most deserving institution in omitting the Children’s hospital from the list of those given | in which colored folks are cared for.

Consequently ever ‘since the foundation of the hospital ‘colored children have had consideration and care equal in every respect with those of white parentage, They are waited upon by the same nurses, have the same medical attendance and have the same food. Not only this, but, in proportion to num- bers of population, the advantages of the hospital have been enjoyed to a far greater ex- tent by the colored than by white children, ———___ Divorced from His Wife. WARREN J. LOWN’S CHARGES AGAINST HIS SPOUSE AND HER REPLY TO THEM. A decree of divorce was granted to Warren J. Lown against Laura V, Lown by Judge Cox in the Equity Court to-day, and the custody of the children is given to the complainant. ‘They were married, as stated in the bill filed by Mr. H. M, Norris, April 19, 1871, by Rev. John B, Van Meter, and it is charged ‘that the respondent left him August 24, 1887, saying that she would not return again to live with | him. Then being led to suspect that she was untrue to her marriage covenant he had her watched, and ascertained that she kept com- pany with women of bad character, and one | night found her at a restaurant on 11th street, | between R and § streets, with a man named Hines, with the light turned down, and under | circumstances which left no doubt of her guilt. Then she cried, “Oh, Warren! Warren, wha have I done, A short time ago I was a decent wife, now I have brought disgrace on my chil- dren.” The wife was represented by Mr. W. A. Cook, and in her answer she declared that the bee | sode cited was the result of a conspiracy to enable the husband to procure a divorce; that Hines was in his employ, and induced her to go to the restaurant to get something to eat, and when he (Hines) knew that her husband was waiting outside forced her into a compro- mising position to furnish evidence against her. She also accused her husband of cruelty, and asserted that she left him for this cause. Mr. Cook, for the wife, noted an appeal.
