My attention has been called to the justice of some national acknowledgment to the memory of Captain John Ericsson for the service he rendered the government in building the Mon- itor and other kindred batteries. I would sug- gest a monument as durable as the hills, erected by what should be a grateful people to this dis- tinguished engineer. As a private citizen I will contribute $100 to afand for such a me- morial. I would also approve the naming of one of our government ironclads after Captain Ericsson. Further I will contribute $500 toa fund for the erection of a broader and a higher monument to three others, greater heroes of the late war, namely: Hon. John F. Winslow, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; Hon. C. S. Bushnell, of New Haven. Conn., and the late Hon. John A. Griswold, of Troy, N. Y., for their courage, patriotism, and liberality in pouring out their millions of gold (at their risk) for the construc- tion of the original Monitor and other kindred vessels in the perilous early days of the rebel- lion. Had it not been for these heroes it is not likely the Monitor or turret ships of any kind would have ever seen the light of day. I would also suggest the naming of turreted ships after these patriots and heroes, Respectfully submitted, Taropore RB. Tray. Wasurxotox, D, C., March, 1889, > The Inauguration Profit. A CESCK HANDED THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS. Chairman Britton. of the inaugural commit- tee, with Mr. C. C. Glover, called on the Commissioners yesterday and handed them a check for £26,000, the balance left over from the inaugural funds, the interest of which is to be applied to the purchase of fuel and elothing for the poor of Washington. The Commissioners accepted the check. —— Ex-Secretary Fairchild’s House Sold. Thomas J. Fisher & Co., the agents for ex- Secretary Fairchild, state that the residence of the latter, 1500 New Hampshire avenue, has been sold to Senator Hearst, of California, for €56,000. The house is a large double one facing on three streets, New Hampshire ave- nue, O, and 20th streets. It is well adapted for social purposes and during the residence of Secretary Fairchild it has been the scene of numerous brilliant entertainments. Mr. Fair- child purchased the property through the same firm some three years ago from the estate of Jobn W. Field. ‘The house was erected by Mr. Field a few years ago and is built in the colonial style. a A Wetcome to THEIR Pastor.—The congre- gation of Hamline M. E. church tendered a re- ception last night to its pastor, Rev. Dr. H. R. Naylor, on his return from conference to enter upon his third year of service in the northwest- ern part of the city. The proceedings were by an invocation by D. W. Christy. H. A. Hall, who was in the chair, then upon T. H. Martin to deliver the address When that had been done Dr. Naylor responded, and following came ad- aan by Kev. Dr. E. D. Huntley and Rev. Dr. The i ah jell K 2 | i : iH le & i tie Es f i H of the association was also held, at mew members were enrolled and the directors elected: Geo. Ryneal, -, Geo, Sam] Benj. F. Steiger, Wm.

The Kind of Commissioners Called For by the Waugh Church Meeting. TEMPERANCE ADVOCATES WHO INSIST ON HAVING OFFICIALS WHO WILL ENFORCE THE LICENSE LAW—THEY SET FORTM THEIR VIEWS IX 4 MEMORIAL TO THE PRESIDENT. “The people on Capitol Hill are awfully afraid of getting wet,” said Major 8. H. Walker to a Stas reporter. as he looked somewhat rue- fully over the audience that was assembled in Waugh church. There were many vacant spaces in the pews. Now and then a new ar- rival came in with dripping umbrella. It was @ mass meeting called “to express disapproval of the outrage to our Sabbath by the saloon- keepers, particularly March 3; also to adopt a memorial to the President for protection against the liquor traffic and the appointment to District offices only of such persons as will enforce the law and protect the interests of the community rather than that of the saloon.” ‘The audience comprised many persons from churches in distant of the city, who were not discouraged by the rain. Rev. Dr. Baldwin was chosen to preside and Mr. R. M. Cheshire secretary. Dr. Baldwin stated the purpose of the mecting to be. ashe underst it. to de- fend society against Sabbath breakers, law- breakers and saloon-keepers, who are banded together to overthrow our institutions, to me- morialize the President to appoint Commis- sioners who will enforce the faw, and to ex- press their indignation at the open violation of the law on the Sabbath preceding the inaugu- ration. They were told that a prohibition law could not be enforced. They could see here in this city that a decent license law could not be enforced. They demanded that this license — — be enforced against every breaker of e law. ‘MR. MOULTON’S REMARKS. Mr. Hosea B. Moulton, the first speaker, said that they had a right to ask and insist that the laws to protect the home against the encroach- ment of the saloon be enforced. They had a right to demand of the proper officers the en- forcement of the law prohibiting gambling; to demand that the haunts of degradation and vice should not be openly maintained, that the license law, such as itis, should be fully en- forced. They had, he said. whole blocks of houses in Washingtoa publicly known as gam- bling houses. If one of them had been broken ap. in months past, he had not observed it. They had here hundreds of places of vice known and enrolled by the police, but he doubted whether half a dozen such piaces had been broken up. Not one-half of the 1,500 licensed saloons had obtained their licenses, legally. He was told, too, that many places were permitted to keep open without license. The authorities had not only the power and the right, but it was their duty to enforce this law. They wanted the executive of this na- tion to appoint solid. noble, upright Christian men as executives of the District. They had had as executives pleasant gentlemen—men that he knew—but the great trouble has been the want of a good, solid, well-defined back- bone. A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING, Mr. F. M. Bradley, who next spoke, said it was a difficult undertaking to try to get a Chris- tian man to enforce the license law. There might be Christian men who would sign their names to licenses and have them hung up in 1,500 bar-rooms, but £5,000 a year or 350,000 a year would not pay some men to have their names hung there. If there was one reason stronger than another why they should have good men 2s Commissioners, he said, it was that they should have men who when they went before Congress would recom- mend righteous instead of unrighteous laws. They had had Commissioners who recom: mended to Congress the abomination of high license. Mr. Bradley said he defied any one to show a case where anything had been done for temperance by a high-license law. He was proceeding to argue against high license, when ir. J. H. Hitchcock interrupted him and claimed that he was not in order, but was dis- cussing a political question. ‘There are men here,” said Mr. Hitchcock, “‘who are in favor of high license. In fact, I believe a majority are. “Then if that is the case,” said Mr. Bradley rather tartly, “I beg to be excused from further service. Mr. Bradley turned on his heel and walked down from the platform to his seat oo the floor, « Mr. Mahoney, smiling blandly, said he thought it ought tobe explained that Mr. Bradley was not present when the object of the mecting was stated. Mr. Bradley said he had no apology to make for speaking to the platform which the men they endorsed that night were expected to stand by. Mrs. 8. D. La Fetra made a brief address. She said there were saloons open on the 3d of March that were never known to be open on Sunday before. MAJ. WALKER ARRAIGNS THE AUTHORITIES, Maj. 8. H. Walker, who followed, said the most conspicuous violation of the liquor law was the result of the abolition of the liquor license board, which comprised two men who were in favor of enforcing the law. Since that day the application of licenses have piled up until the Commissioners are at leisure to go over them. ‘The liquor laws, he said, had been openly vio- lated every Sunday for the past three years, Had the law been enforced there would be few saloons open in Washington to-day. It was far better to have no inauguration ‘at all than to have had it seandalized by such lawlessness as was observed here on March 3. He expressed confidence in President Harrison's loyalty to Christian sentiment an@believed that he would give careful attention to any appeal they would make. Maj. Walker read resolutions passed at the quarterly meeting of Waugh church de- nouncing the “flagrant outrages” witnessed at inauguration time. A MEMORIAL TO THE PRESIDENT. He then offered resolutions in the form of a memorial to the President, which, after recit- ing various complaints regarding the non-en- forcement of the law. stated “That we, citizens of the United States and residents and property-owners of the District of Columbia in mass meeting assembled, rep- resenting the various churches and homes of said District, and desiring to protect our homes and our people from the ravages and devasta- tion of the evils and iniquities hereinbefore re- cited, do hereby most respectfully Petition the President of the United States and his Attor- ney-General to select to fill the various offices in this District, and especially those of Com- missioners of the District, only substantial, re- liable, temperance, Christian gentlemen in no way interested or related to the saloon or liquor interests of the country; and be it further resolved thata committee of repre- sentative men be appointeu by this meeting to resent this memorial and resolutions to the esident of the United States and to the At- torney-General, together with such further recommendations as said committee may think it wise and proper to make.” The following committee was be crak to resent the resolution to the President: 8. H. Walker, Dr. York, A P. Clarke, T. W. Smith, J.C. Lee, L. Chappell, F. M. Bradley, H. L: Strong, M. D. Teck, Rev. E. D. Bailey, Dr. C. N. Whitney, Dr. J. E. Carpenter, Alex Giles, Dr. G. H.

Seymour, Before the meeting adjourned Mr. Bradley announced that if any persons wanted to debate the high license question at any time or place, he would see that there was some one ready to meet them, —_—___ Disorperry Oystermes Fixep.—“Bill” Mace and his partner, “Jack” Flaherty, arrived in town ‘day from the Lower Potbmac, whero they have been working on an oyster dredger.

A cablegram from Rome, dated March 18, says: “Bishop Keane, president of the new Washington university, to-day presented to the pope two gentlemen of Washington, who con- tributed munificent\sums to the institution. It is said that each subscribed $1,500,000. The pope thanked them warmly for their munifi- cent gifts.” The figure given in the above dispatch prob- ably had acipher or two added to it by mis- take in transmisson from Rome. —— : The Death of Mrs. Choate. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Susan G. Choate will be read by many here and elsewhere with a feeling of personal loss to them. Her long life of usefulness in this com- munity is known to a large circle, and many persons in sickness and trouble have been cheered and helped by her kind ministrations, During the war her house was always open to receive a sick or wounded soldier, without pay or question as to rank or need, At one time she had as many as 23 officers and privates sick or wounded in her house, caring for them, getting her reward only in the love and esteem of the men and in her own conscience. Her bright and tender manner was always a help to any who came into her own presence. She leaves three brothers, Edward Col. Wm. 0. Drew, both of this city, and Hon. Columbus Drew, of Jacksonville, Fla.; also four sons, Warren Choate and Geo. W. Choate, residing here; Dr. Rufus Choate, of Rockville, Md.; C.D. Choate, of Herndon, Va.; also & daughter, Mrs. L. E, Rosenberg. ———— A Serious Assault. TWO SEVERE BLOWS ON THE HEAD WITH A PICK HANDLE. Yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock a row occurred between Jno, Scanlon and Charles W. Dowden at Eckington, during which the former struck the latter with a pick handle, inflicting two severe wounds, one on the top of the head and the other on the right temple: Scanlon made his escape and Dowden was taken to the Homeopathic hospital, where Dr. J. B. Clark attended him and found the wounds to be serious. Upon examination it was discovered that the injured man’s skull was not fractured, | as was at first supposed. Under the doctor's treatment the patient rallied and this morning he was out of dange : ee Brave, Modest, Kind, and Good. Yesterday, at Arlington, were laid in the grave, among the soldiers with whom he had served so well during sixty years, the mortal remains of John Navarre Macomb, a colonel of engineers, who entered West Point in 1828, and during a long life did his duty with perfect ac- ceptance on the staff, in the artillery, and in the corps of engineers, in peace and in war, in varied Salorments; with courage, skill, and fidelity, The writer of this brief notice knew him well for half a century and bears in his memory the record of a life singular in its purity, its benevolence, and its comprehensive charity. Always gentle in his judgment of others, modest as to his own high merit, won- derfully kind in his goodness to all with whoin he came in contact, old and young, he was the impersonation of’ that goodness the great Master inculcated, and has left to all who knew hima fragrant memory that is won only by those who are pure in heart. > The Need of a Flagman. To the Editor of Tne EVENING Sai Miss Ellen Bell was killed on Thursday, March 14, 1889, at 7:30 p. m., at the Anacostia crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, by a freight train belonging to that company. The details of the accident have been published in the daily papers, and are doubtless familiar to your readers, Benning pays a heavy price for every flag- man she gets. Not until it has killed a woman or crippled her for life does railroad company think of giving us a box and flagman, The | Benning Improvement association has peti- tion the Commissioners again and again to com- ae the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to put oxes and flagmen at its crossings, but its prayer has been unheeded. The petition was referred to the authorities of the railroad com- pany for their respectful consideration, and there it dropped. Now that they have killed their woman we hope we shall get our flagman, HH, B. Beston, Ss Aw Insuxctton Dey . erday, in the case of R. A. Hove against John J.

The plaintiff claims to have bought the square, which is at the intersection of New Hampshire, R and 18th streets, from Robert Morrison, trustee of the Blodgett esta i July, 1884. Mr, Johnson asserts that thi in Hooe was defective, and he bo t it with full knowledge of the defects, and denies that there was a full transfer to him. He asserts that any remedy the complainant has is at law, and that the bill is improperly brought against him as an individual. hee A New Way To Ger an Overcoat.—Wm. alias “Brooky” Moore, a young man who has se times been in the hands of the police on charges affecting his reputation for honesty, was ar- rested Saturday night by Detectives Carter and Mahon and locked up on x charge of the lar. ceny of an overcoat belonging to John H.

Views of a Member of the Southern Methodist Conterence. At the session of the Baltimore M. E. church (south) conference yesterday in Alexandria, Va., the recommendation of the board of edu- cation that $200 be raised for the Lane insti- tute, a colored school at Jackson, Tenn., was opposed by Rev. V. W. Wheeler, of the Roa- noke circuit. He objected to contributing money for the education of a lot of “niggers.” He thought it would be better to put them to work instead of trying to educate them. He thought that education made them worthless and lazy. These views were condemned by other mem- bers of the conference, and the opinion was expressed that the work begun by the church in behalf of the colored race ought to be con- tinued. ‘The report was adopted. The committee on conference relations recommended that Revs. L. C, Miller and D. B. Smith be granted superannuated relations, and that Revs, A. P. Bande, William Hedges, and Lewis H. Graybill be granted supernumerary relations. The report was adopte Reports were made relative to various educa- tional institutions of the church showing that progress was being made, Last nighta large missionary meeting was held in the church where the conference meets. Dr. 8. K. Cox presided. Rev. Mr. Carson read the report, and addresses were made by Rev. Drs, Carson, Kern, Haddaway, and Den- ney. 5 ——— Congréssman Caswell’s HE CONCEALED HIS MONEY UNDER THE CARPET AND A DISHONEST SERVANT FOUND IT, Annie Williams, a young colored woman, came here from Virginia some months ago and found employment as a chambermaid at the boarding-house of Mrs, Hayes, 806 12th street, Annie proved to bea good servant and did her work well, Among Mrs. Hayes’ boarders was Representative Caswell, of Wisconsin. He oc- cupied the large double parlors in the house. Under the carpet in one of the rooms Mr. Cas- well kept what money he had occasion to have about for current expenses. The hiding-place he considered a safe one. and on Thursday he ut about 3100 there. When Annie came in riday morning to sweep the room she raised so much dust thet Mrs, Gaswell was compelled toleave the room. It was then that Annie | made the discov of the hidden cash, and the money was taken either Friday or ‘Saturday. Annie left her service place on ‘Sunday because she had become suddenly wealthy, She did not wait for her salary, for that was only a few dollars, and ‘what did she care for that.” Yesterday morning, when Mr. Caswell had oc- casion to use the money he lifted the carpet, but somebody ‘had been there before him. Complaint was at once made to the police, They knew that Annié lived at No. 1224 Madison street. She was not at home, but Policemen Daniel, Williams and Denny arres her on the street with Frank Smith, her lover. She had been out making purchases, Frank had been presented with a new suit and Annie had given orders fora new dress and other clothing preparatory to taking a western tour. She had spent in all $28.15 and had $76.60 in her bosom. She denied the charge that she feloniously stole, took and carried away the congressman’s money, but said that she found it. This morning in ‘the Police Court Mr, Cas- well identitied one of the bills as belonging to him and Annie was committed to await the action of the grand jury in default of $500 bail. seca da fi idden Treasure John Doran’s Domestic Troubles. HE TESTIFIES THAT HIS WIFE IS INSANE—DRINK- ING MAKES THINGS WORSE. John Doran, a carpenter, who lives at No. 212 K street northeast, met with a warm recep- tion when he went home afterahard day's work last evening. John is a hard-working man, but, like his wife Catherine, he occa- sionally gets under the influence of liquor, and this adds to his troubles, Several times the police have been called upon to straighten out their domestic difficulties. On one occasion, when the husband returned home from work, he found Catherine intoxicated. Determined not to have any trouble with her, John locked himself ina room. Then his wife broke oj the door and would probably have finished John hadhe notcalled for assistance. She was sent to St. Elizabeth’s hospital for the in- sane three times, After her return she re- |mewed her old habits, and made life |a burden to her husband. Several days ago, when John returned home, he was warmly received by Catherine with a pail of hot water. She repeated this dose three times, and last night, being afraid that she would do him serious harm, he complained to Policemen Smith and Wannell, who arrested the woman and locked her up,. This morning, when the case was tried in the Police Court, John said he thought that Cath- erine was crazy, and when she got drunk she was worse than ever. Lieut. Kelly said that Doran took his wife from the asylum, and she afterward went to ewe Her husband then sent to Pittsburg and had her brought home. He thought that one was as bad as the other. Doran said that he took her out of the asylum because he thought she would do better. When she went to Pittsburg he learned that she and the children were badly off, and he sent them money to come home. He said he could show wounds which had been inflicted by his wife. “Do you want this court to punish her?” asked the court. “I only want her confined somewhere,” answered the husband. The judge explained that from his testimony that the woman was crazy the court would not sentence her to jail. She was discharged. John Wesley Humphrey, the ten-year-old Philadelphia boy who was 80 badly frightened by acrowd of older boys who were playing ‘White Caps” in the ‘upper portion of that eity about a week ago, died Saturda: Your Bioon | Needs a thorough cleansing this spring, in order to expel the impurities which have accumulated during the winter, or which may be hereditary, and cause you much suffering.
