The Sisters Hold an Open Session and Entertain Their Friends. The young lady members of the P. EF. 0. Sorosis of this city were ‘‘at home” to their friends last evening after their annually charm- ing fashion. The regeption was held at No, 1434 Q street, the residence of Gen. Ellis Spear, whose daughter Julia is president of the so- ciety. The long parlors were admirably adapted to such an occasion and were kept filled from 8 o'clock until after midnight. An orchestra gave forth soft music from a hidden corner, and sometimes falling into waltz strains set the folks to swaying with anticipation. A bountiful supper table was set in the third parlor. This society is composed exclusively of ladies, The objects are mental and literary improvement, and the sight of a man is strictly prohibited during the eolemn coi claves of the order, which always sits in ex- ecutive session, with the single exception of such an occasion once a year as that which gave enjoyment to two or hundred “out- siders™ last evening. The meetings take place once a fortnight, on Tuesday night from 7:30 to 9:45. These hours are observed with a scrupu- lous rigidity that is partly inspired by the necessity of the girl members seeing each other home, since male escorts are totally out of the question. During this time there are books read aloud and discussed, there is a symposium of literary chit-chat, und occa- sionally there are delvings into the depths of history, science or philosophy. At present the membership is “somewhere between twenty-three and twenty-five,” as one of the | fair wise ones expressed it last mght, and there- fore it cannot be very far from a couple of dozen. It is one of the customs of the sorosis to attend in a body the marriage of any mem- ber who may forget the way to Hant and fame sufficiently to allow herself to be led tothe altar, They afterward go to the train and with solemn grace and dignity throw rice at the misguided but happy member. There are two now in the society who have been thus honored with the rites of the order and they are quite as enthusiastic as ever, es A Word That Was Omitted. To the Editor of THe EvENtINe Stan: In your issue of the 13th appears a synops of the lecture delivered on the 12th instant by Bishop Keane at the Catholic university, in his review of Herbert Spencer, in which he is | made to say that ‘the fact that a thing can or cannot be conceived in the first sense of the word is no argument for or against its exist- ence, a8 1 can form perfectly in my mind the image of a Centaur or a Sphinx, which do not exist. and I can possibly do so of gravitation, of force, of truth or of honor, all of which are realities about which I have clear ideas and which I know perfectly well how to distinguish from anything else,” when in reality by the un- intentional omission of the word “not” before the word “possibly,” the real meaning and chmax of the sent is totally lost. M.V.B. —_——_ — Not a Bad Idea. To the Editor of Tur EVEsINa Stan: After reading the article in your paper of yesterday, “Lafayette Monument—Solving the Knotty Problem of its Location”, an idew occurred to me. George has been doing Andrew has been stationed at , Opposite the White House, fo: many years also, and according to military rule they should be relieved, bring George in, taking Andrew's plac send Andrew to the picket post; then Geor, and Lafayette could-be together in La square. This scems to me very appropriate and would meet the hearty approval of both heroes, had they any say in the matter, and I believe would “solve the knotty prob- lem” and give general satisfaction, How does it strike you? J.W.L. ener Two Fires on E Street. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire was rung from box 125 by Sergeant Fal- vey of the sixth precinct, who, with Officer Caverly of the first precinct, had noticed smoke i May building, at the northeast corner of 7th and E streets northwest. It was found that the fire originated on the upper floor, which was unoccupied, except that some furniture was stored in one room, The windows and doors being tightly closed, the firemen succeeded in extinguishing the flames before much damage was done, ‘The loss is about #500, covered by insurance, About 7:45 o'clock a fire occurred in the office of the Law Reporter, No. 503 E street, which was extinguished with but little damage. The Symphony Concert. The second concert of the Boston symphony orchestra's series was given last evening in Music hall before a very large audience. The program was distinctively a modern one— three of the five composers represented upon it ure living—and it was one of rare and sus- tained interest and vigorous contrast; further- more it offered two interesting novelties in Grieg’s recently published suite to “Peer Gynt” and the first movement of Brahm’s violin concerto in D. a very grateful substitute for the Mendelssohn, already three times heard here this winter. The concerto was played by Mr. Franz Kueisel with a dignity nd nobility of style that were in fullestaccord with the spirit of the composition; it 13 a work of the siguifi- cance and importance to be expected from the greatest of living composers and modeled after the loftiest ideals of that classical spirit of which Brahm’s is the greatest aud almost the last remaining conservator. The “Peer Gynt” suite is as far as possible from this incon- ception. It is wholly descriptive in its pur- pose, fantastically and even sensationally so, Of course it gives occaston for many striking and original effects, which Mr. Nikitsh was not slow to take the fullest advantage of. One that showed in an almost unexampled fashion the powers of the orchestra was the marvelous pianissimo at the close of the second movement. ‘The almost comic picture of the imps chasing Peer Gyut, with its eccen- tricities of rhythm and orchostration. appealed to the audience, so—it must have been to the sense of humor rather than to the musical in- stinct—that a repetition of it was insisted upon. The Schumann symphony, which closed the concert, brought into play some of the most remarkable attributes of Mr, Nikisch’s conduct- ing; it was read in a style that gave the fullest exposition to the composer's idea by the elab- oration and contrast given to every detail of the work, the delightful and characteristic setting forth of its py eee niceties and the } Warmth and affluence of tonal beauty in which the whole was clothed. —— Real Estate ers.

How the Progress of Work on the Library Building is Recorded. A graphic history of the new library building being prepared and when it is completed it will be one of the most unique narratives of a building that has ever been written. The pen- cil used is the rays of the sun and the paper is the sensitized plate of a photographic camera. Every ten days from the top of the building occupied by Architect Pelz and his force of draughtsmen one of the employes directs a camera upon the great hole which has been scooped ont in the square just east of the Capi- tol grounds. Every detail of the condition of the work, the height of the walls, the piles of material on hand 1s accurately impressed upon the plate. The photographs are filed away properly labeled ‘and can be produced if any — arises as to what was done or was not lone at any stage of the work. If, for in- stance, a contractor claims that he had certain material on the ground at a certain date he can be confronted with a photograph and asked to point out where the material was located. The photographs are not taken for this purpose ex- clusively, They are found to be a valuable supplement to the written record kept by the assistants of Mr. Bernard R. Green, who is in charge of the work of construction under the direction of Gen, Casey. This a rather novel use of the peetoeeapes camera and the pho- tographs taken will be of great interest in years to come, —_____ Certainly; Why Not? To the Editor of Tue Evesixe Star: We clerks are in favor of applying the “eight- hours-a-day" law to the government depart- ments in this city, as suggested by the smart “trans-Missouri statesman” in yesterday's Star, providing the law is also made to apply to the Congress of the United States. Let the act read—“Be it enacted, &c., that from and after the passage of this act eight hours shall constitute a day's work in the various branches of the government, including the Senate and House of Representatives; that the emploves, together with the senators and Representatives, shall commence work at 8 o'clock am, and cease work at 4 o'clock p.m. each secular day of the week,with an allowance of one-half hour for lunch from 12:30 to 1 o'clock p.m.; that each person thus employed shall be allowed thirty days’ annual leave and thirty days’ sick leave with pay, absence at any time during the ear beyond the sixty days aforementioned to e deducted pro rata from their pay.” With- out the amendment including the solons of the nation the law would be an “unjust discrimina- tion” and subject to the consideration of the interstate commerce commission. DerantMent CLERK. ie Death of Sister Mary Angela, Sister Mary Angela von Gerolt died at the Convent of the Visitation Wednesday morning after a two days’ illness with pneumonia, in- duced by the grip. She was the daughter of Baron yon Gerolt, Prussian minister to this country from 1844 to 1868, and was born in Munich in August, 1844, while her father was resident minister there.

William Berry, a fifteen-year-old colored boy, was in the Police Court this morning charged with being a suspicious person, It was alleged that he attempted to rob a small white boy on the commons near the jail Monday evening. Judge Miller told the boy’s mother that the punishment would be very light for such a grave offense, but that it was only on account of the offender being so young, ‘The sentence required him to give $20 bonds or go to the work huuse. a A Wife’s Application for Divorce.

A Misstna Gipsy Gint.—Near Rosslyn, Va.— the small settlement on the river bank on the Virginia side of the Potomac opposite George- town and near the new bridge—a band of gip- sies is encamped. Among the visitors to the camp last Sunday wasa rather good-looking man from this side of the river who, as the story goes, tried to make a favorable impres- sion upon the heart of a bright-looking gipsy girl about fourteen years old. His attentions Were apparently not at all distasteful to the girl, put decidedly so to the child's mother, who threatened to make it warm for him if he did not leave her daughter alone. Thursday the girl disappeared and as nothing has since been heard of her her mother appealed to the police for assistance in finding her child. Betsey Stodes is the unromantic name of this runaway maiden, JEWELL, THE ABSENT.—The amount for which Jewell, the absconding receiver of the Wash- ington and Georgetown railroad company, is responsible to the company has been settled by the security company that gave bond tor him, so Mr. Koones, treasurer of the railroad com- pany, informed a Star reporter today. “A ver: letermined man has the task of looking Jewel up,” continued Mr. Koones, ‘‘and it must be a matter of a very few days only before he 18 arrested.” He Hap Evipentiy Been Tuene.— Do what?” asked William Harris, a colored boy, when arraigned in the Police Court today. “Disturbed the quiet of Georgetown,” an- swered Clerk Harper; ‘are you guilty or not guilty?” “No, sir.” Policeman Curran told Judge Miller that Harris was another one of the boys who were engaged in brick throwing on Frederick street last month, The boy de- nied the charge, but when questioned by Judge Miller he told all about the trouble. “You know too much about the affair not to have been there,” said Judge Miller as be imposed a fine of $5 or 15 days. ‘Tnx Last Hop of the season by the George- town assembly was given last night at Linthi- cum Institute hall.

One hundred and twelve men wearing plaid suits and guarded by five officers were digging in Kentucky avenue yesterday when a young colored man named Geo, Johnson came along. He had just been released from jail and stopped to look at the laboring work house gang. when one of them, John Johnson, walked over and spoke to him. George treated to cigarettes and then took a flask of gin from his pocket. John reached out for the bottle and swallowed a large-sized dram before au officer could interfere. C. 8. Prather, one of the guards, caught George after a long chase and locked him up. When the case was called in the Police Court this morning there was some trouble finding a law to punish the sympa- thetic George. The law agaidst aiding pris- oners to escape was mentioned, and Mr. Dumont said that the liquor was calculated to make the prisoner “get up and get.” “And if he drank enough of it,” added the Judge, “it was calculated to make him get down and stay.” ‘The prisoner told the judge his wife got him out of jail yesterday; that she gave him 5 cents and he bought some gin, “Where did your wife get the money?” asked Judge Miller. “She worked for it,” was the prisoner's reply. “And you bought gin with the first 5 ceuts you got after getting out of jail,” said the judge. “My stomach was sore,” said Johnson, “and I got the gin to take when I got home. Judge Miller told the defendant that in the future he had better be more careful and keep away from prisoners. This time the judge said he would take his personal bonds, peste <visuntoonted Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed aa followa: E, A. Keyser to 8. C, Carter, pt. 4, 8q. 593; #315.

President Scott of the Chicago Herald made some suggestions of topics for discussion, one of which was: low can a paper which tells the truth as to its circulation keep up with the circulation liar?” The nominating committee presented the names of the officers to serve for the coming then and the list was unanimously adopted. lames W.

REPARE F oR Sparse Now is the time to attend to your personal condition in preparation for the change to spring season. If you have uot “wintered well,” if you are tired out from overwork, if your blood has become impure from close confinement in badly ventilated offices or shops, you should take JTood’s Sarsaparilla at ouce, It will purify and vitalize your blood, create a good appetite and wive your whole system tone and strength. HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA “For a first-class spring medicine my wife and I think very hishly of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. We both took it last spring. It did us agreat deal of good and we felt better throuxh the hot weather than ever be- fore. It cured my wife of sick headache, from which she has suffered a great deal, aud relieved me of a dizzy, tired feeling. I think every one ought to take something to purify the blood before the hot weather comes on, and we shall certutuly take Hood's Sarsapa- rilla this spring.” J. H, PEARCE, Supt, Granite Rail- way Co, Concord, N.H, PURIFIES THE BLOOD “This is to certify that I have used Hood's Sarsspa- rillain my family for some time past and have found it tobe agood blood purifier. It has been of great benefit as recommended and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all who are in want of any medi- cine of the kind." ROBERT A.

Meade, the manager of the play, whom the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children had caused to be indicted for per- mitting them to appear upon the stage, The children were not called, as the whole day was spent in securing a jury, so they had the run of the big ante room of the grand jury and rehearsed ‘The Old Woman Who Lived in & Shoe.” In the court room, before Judge Fitzgerald, Managers Gilmore and Rosenquest and other theatrical men sat about Manager Meade. Mr. Elbridge Gerry was there too. Charles W, Brooke, in cross-examination of the candidates for the jury box, dweit upon the fact that chil- dren are copes in the children’s ballet at the Metropolitan opera house,where Mr. Gerry is » stock holder and trustee, and at other plays now on the boards. At 4 o'clock twelve jurymen were sworn, Mr, Brooke suggested that the court send them to see the performance of ‘Bluebeard Jr.” Judge Fitzgerald said he might do that later on. seared aiid aise Dakota Bribery Charges. The senate investigation committee which is working on the charges of bribery in the North Dakota republican state convention, the elec- tion of state officers and election of United States Senators had but one witness before it yesterday, he being E. P. Wells of Jamestown, Senator Casey's home. Wells wasan ardent supporter of Casey, and, it is claimed, was on the inside. However this may bo, it is rumored. that his testimony was simply to tne effect that he knew nothing of the use of money in Sena- tor Casey’s election. Representative Stadie- mun, whose election, it was claimed, was brought about by the use of Louisiana lottery moncy, is looking for the Ptoneer-Press correspondent aud says he will know who gave him the infor- mation or the pocrerpondens will know some- thing about physical persuusion, It is pretty weil understood that the information came from certain state officers, and the bitterness over some of the statements is becoming intensified daily. The attorney general volunteered an opinion to the senate that its committee of in- vestigation had no power to summon witnesses, and the senate returned it to him with thanks. He was in the senate chamber at the time and got the full benefit of the slap. Pete McUoy of Boston and Charles Gleason of Minneapolis fought for aepurse of $300 last night at the Golden Gate athletic club, San Francisco. McCoy gained an easy victory.
