Mrs. Foster Talks of the Aims and Methods of the New Order. ‘The Congregational church, corner 10th and G streets, was comfortably filled at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to hear Mrs. J. Ellen Poster, president of the new line W.C.T.U. for the District of Columbia, on the subject. “Home above party; principle above organiza- tion.” The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Reiley, wife of the presiding elder Washington district, Baltimore conference, M.E church,and on the platform were the wife of Bishop New- man, Mrs. Roach, Mrs. Leggett of Michigan and Miss Tilton, secretary of the local union. Mrs. Newman conducted the devotional exer- cises by asking the audience to give a few min- utes to silent prayer, at the close of which she led in the recitation of the Lord’s prayer. In introducing the speaker Mrs. Reiley stated that the meeting had been arranged and the subject announced while Mrs. Foster was out of the city and it was not till her return from New York Friday night that she knew she was to speak yesterday FIGHTING OUT MORAL ISSUES ON NON-PARTISAN GROUNDS, Mrs. Foster began by comparing the task thus imposed spon her of explaining the de- tails of the work to the household cares that ence burdened her, but which, now that her children had reached maturity, were forgotten or counted only as joys, The tusk. she said, n unpleasant one, but must-be done, and in that spirit she undertook it. She pictured the home as the unit of all social organization, | pointed out the value of the pledge.as not ery Man is a8 good as his bond, showed the necessity of banding together in a common and hoped all women would sign the and join the union. The distinction partion and political questions was «ndled, and it was contended that ssues could be best fouzht on non-parti. san lines, It was natural and proper that men should separate into political parties on ques- tions of tariff or free trade, and hard or soft money, as those were not moral ques- tions and involved only a difference of in- tellectuai opimon, but it was not best that y party should make an issue of a moral question like prohibition, for when one party takes up a question men of the opposing party art driven to take the other side. it being neces- sary te have issues between them. PROHIBITION, she said, had been secured in Iowa and the Da- kotas on a non-partisan basis. She was pleased at the noble stand taken by Representative Stewart of Georgia, a democrat, and Repre- sentative Morse of Massachusetts, a republican, and thought it better for the prohibition cause that they were in different parties. The old line organization had asked them to disregard their opinions on the tariff. finance and other | questions and come out by themselves on the single question of prohibition. The pledge of membership had not required that they ally themselves with any political party. They made a pledge of total abcigcnse saa ‘they had | kept that. they promised to meet certain dues had paid their taxes, but when asked to join a political party they said no, and so they had formed « non-partisan organization, When the speaker stated that she saw Miss Susan B. Anthony in the audience there was a burst of applause. Miss Anthony, she said, thought woman suffrage more important than prohibi- tion, others thought social purity the great question and still others held something else of first importance, but if all split up into parties | they would be tuo feeble to accomplish their | purposes and wouid but give comparative | strength to the enemy. ‘Therefore they stood for total abstmence atid prohibition accom- | plished by non-partisan means and without | political alliance, Mrs. Foster paid a high tribute to Senator Blair and said his educational bill would pass when some of our statesmen had grown a little taller.

Representative Elijah Morse of Massachusetts had been announced to speak on*The duty of the hour.” Mrs. Hunt of Massachusetts, who was present, also made @ brief address. In opening the meeting Mrs, LaFetra, president of the District W.C.T.U., read a carefully prepared paper on government wine and beer canteeus at army posts, entering & vigorous protest against them. She said it would be as sensible to open canteens in every home to keep the boys from strong drink. The christian people of the country shouid protest against the proposed measure. Her remarks werethe key note of the whole meeting. AGAINST LIGHT DKINKS. ; ‘Mrs, Mary H. Hunt of Massachusetts, inter- national superintendent of scientific instruc- gressional committees on the subject, spoke on the scientific phases of the alcoholic question life, She said we want prohibition of the man- ufacture and sale of alcohol because it is a nar- the people. where men vote as they drink, pro- hibition is impossible till a majority of voters are abstainers. A closer analysis of the trouble shows, she said, that it was in the beginning ignorance of the nature of the drink. No young man when he takes his first drink expects to be- come adrankard, He is ignorant of the scien- tific faet that the alcohol in beer, wine a: liquors, and he is also ignorant of the danger- ous charateristic of alcohol whereby a little creates an appetite for more. For that reason she argued that the proposed canteen law, pro- viding lighter liquors to be sold and drunk by soldiers, is unscientific and immoral, and would be the ¢ erance, which latter its advocates claim for it. temperance movement in this country. and said that through the action of Congress and twenty-seven state legislatures more than 12,000,000 school children are under temper- ance education liws and being taught the ef- feets of alcohol upon the human system, She suggested that Congress had better inquire of the school children, who could tell them the | folly of expecting temperance results from the use of beer, wine and cider. The great work of revising temperance text book was referred to and words of Wendell Phillips we as hopeful of the present condition have the school books and the schools today on any given topic we thereby have public opinion tomorrow, and consequent established order the day after.” Mrs. Hunt will visit the public schools while in the city and is arranging pub- | lic meeting for the especial purpose of address- ing the public school teachers, REPRESENTATIVE MOUSES’ TOTAL ABSTINENCE | SPEECH. Mr. Morse indorsed what Mrs. Hunt had said on the proposed establishment of canteens for the sale of wine and beer at army posts, and declared it was perfectly shameful and ridiculous to talk about the sale of such drinks | asa temperance measure. He said wine and | ' beer are the devil's kimdling wood and their | use the sure and certain road to drunkenness, | | He would resist to the uttermost that provis- | ion of the army appropriation bill. The propo- | | sition to establish saloons at army posts is an injustice to the soldiers by placing temptation in | | their and an outrage upon the people of | | the United States, They had met, he said, to | | contend with no imaginary foe. but with a | Vigilant, active enemy. The statistics of paupe | ism and crime resulting trom drink are appall- ing. He thought it uot extravagant to. say | that ninety-nine one-hundredths of the pauper- | ism, crime and insanity are directly or in- directly traceable to strong drink. It was well | upon these the hours of the holy Sabbath day that they left their homes and crowded the house of God and the place of prayer to consider a question which so nearly concerns the spiritual , and temporal welfare of the people. He warned | his hearers, especially young men, against entering the outer circles of this awful | muelstrom that destroys the body and the soul, He said alcohol is the most dangerous of all poisous because it is a brain poison, and the | brain is the seat of the will. Before the victim | knew it he bad lost his will power and was a drunkard and couldn't stop. But there are not | wanth! liustrations of the fact that the grace | | of God goes down to great deptbs in saving in- | temperate men. ‘Is there,” he said, “a poor intemperate man here, sign the pledge and pray for the grace of God to help you, and, though it may be the drear winter with you | now, spring and joy and beauty and mankood | will come again.” “Mr. Morse gave several pa- | thetic illustrations of men rescued from great | depths, and coneluded an address of nearly an | | hour as follows: “‘So, then, by the memories of | | the past, by the solemuities of the future, by | your personal responsibility to God, by the love you bear your children, by their kisses hat may rest warm upon your lips, by every noble consideration I solemuly, earnestly ex- | | hort you to lives of total abstinence.” Mr. Morse has accepted an invitation from Rev. Dr. Newman to occupy the Congrega- | tional pulpit next Sunday evening. _— AN $800,000 BUILDIN i The Structure Pla cal d for the Geologi-| urvey. | Favorable action has been taken by the House committee on public buildings and grounds on the proposition to erect a building in this city for the use of the geological survey. A bill for a similar object is before the senate committee and the pian referred to the supervising arch | tect of the Treasury has received his sanction, | Ifthe appropriation of $800,000 asked for is | made another tine public building will be added j tothe group of which the national museum building was first erected. It is proposed to occupy a portion of the ground between th national museum building and the army medi- cal library building with this new structure.

The design, which is generally favored, | is characterized by some of the best features of the Romanesque architecture and the effect of the building will depend upon strong lines and substantial construction rather than upon ornamentation, The proposed building will be five stories in height. including the b ment story, which will be entirely above ‘ground, ‘The feature of the interior will be central court, extending to the roof. with gal- Jeries at each floor.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ATLANTIC LEAGUE CLUB—WALTER HEWETT SAYS HE WILL CARRY ON BUSINESS AT THE NEW S8TAND—TED SUL- LIVAN AND THE MEN. Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away and some sort of order has come out of the base ball chaos it may be well to take @ swift retrospective glance at some of the things which Taz Star has said on different Occasions apropos of the situation’ and see whether or not it is open to the suspicion of having endeavored to throw cold water on the base ball prospects of Washington. The truth is that Te Sar was actuated by no desire to uphold any person§or any organization, but simply to keep the base ball public of the city informed as to the ins and outs of the situation, which every one will admit was extremely com- plicated. There were strong evidences at | hand during the winter to show that the league | did not want Washington as a member, and Tue Star immediately gave expression to all that could be said on ‘the subiect. Ou the 28th of February it said: “Tre Stan has all along maintained that the chances of Washington enjoying league base bali during the coming scason are very, very small, When the owner of the league rights at the capital is not only$ willing but anxious to sell out, and the controlling powers of the | league are desirous of reducing the number of ieague clubs, it looks very much as af arrange- _meuts might be made at the league meeting t month to sa y both sides, ‘ashington will have no league base ball and no brotherhood base ball, but it is very likely that an Atlantic association club will be | located here.” Then, again, on the 13th of March there was this word of warning: “Keep your eye on the p of events, therefore, and see whether gue begins the regular scasva with ten or eight clubs. That Washington will go if she finds a mate no one willdeny, She may be mated before many days. This waruing is not of throwing cold water on the base ball interests in Washington, but sim- ly to show the natural tende: of events looked at from a common-sense standpoint. If | it proves a false alarm and Washington begins the season THE Stax will do its level best to uphold base ball at the capital.” It was not a false alarm, and now that Wash- ington is ubout to begin th tie association club THe STAR is read always has been, to give the sport all the en- couragement it deserves. We shall probably have some good games here, perhaps fast as good as though we were in the National league. and, in consideration of the reduction of the admission fee from 50 to 25 cents, it is likely that in some w the withdrawal from the league will prove a benetit. There will be a large clement of local strife engendered by the near presence of Baltimore and the rivalry that has always existed between that city and this | and the entire outlook is favorable for a lively Season, WHO WILLGET IN. The question of who is entitled to the Ameri- can association franchise is au interesting one and may lead to some peculiar developments, Mr. Hewett says that there is no doubt that he is the man, for he still holds his league fran- chise, and, under the national agreement— which the Atiantic asvociation is a party one can invade this territory so loug as he retains possession of that document. The ac- tion of the league in allowing him to retain an inactive membership was a shrewd piece of work and probably gives him the whip-hand | here. It seems that Mr Sullivan, as soon as he saw the drift of the league's desires and obtained a clue as to the final action, began to take steps to obtain a franchise in the Atlantic, and sev- eral hours before the vote was taken that | caused Washington to retire from active busi- ness in the old body a telegraph vote was taken in the Atlantic association on the admis- sion of this city and Mr. Sullivan was informed that his application had been granted, There are certain business men here who claim to have been behind Mr, Sullivan as backers and ‘that he was merely acting for them, They say that —sthe-~——_‘franchise— which is "in Sullivan’s name—belongs to them, to the exclusion of Mr. Hewett. And so itis that the base ball situation somewhat resembles two men pulling at the ends of a rope against cach other, while a third one, beariug « strong resemblance to the celebrated player hunter, sits astride the rope somewhere near the middle with a kuife in his hand ready to ent the two opponents loose. He sits a little nearer to Mr, Hewett's end than to the other, MR. HEWETT'S SIDE. It seems that as soon as Mr. Hewett returned from New York he had a long interview with Sullivan and asked him for an explanation of his action. Mr. Sullivan gave Mr. Hewett a satisfactory reason tor doing as he did. He said that be had become frightened when the ews began to come from New York and with- out wasting time for asking questions he tele- graphed off to Braden, the president of the Atlantic association, to accept him (Sullivan) as an applicant for a franchise, He said that he had done this entirely as a matter of cvution, and he and Mr. Hewett are now as good friends as ever. Meanwhile Mr. Braden has been convinced that he acted illegally. Before Mr. Young came south from the meeting he went over iuto the wilds of Jersey and told Braden that he had made a big mistake in thus invading the territory of the league. Then Mr. Hewett had a talk with himand scared him 4 little more an@ now, Mr. Hewett says. it is a mere matter of form as to his getting the franchise. ON THE OTHER HAND it is claimed that Hewett is not in the league and that therefore he cannot claim prior right to puta club in Washington; that Hewett en- gaged his men to play league ball and that he has no control over them. The Atlaniic asso- ciatiou.it is held.can admit whom it chooses and the players are free to sign where they choose. From « conversation which a SraK reporter had this morning with Mr. Hewett ic is quite evident that Sullivan has decided to pool his issues with the old concern nd that therefore the Atlantic association club here will run un- der the auspices of Mr. Hewett. WHAT MR. HEWETT SAYS, “We are still a member of the league,” said Mr. Hewett, “a passive member, and I have possession. of our franchise just the same as ever, I still hold my men under national league contracts and will continue to hold em, Tshall not send in my resignation just and until [ do so I am the only one cligible to play ball here in any assoeiation or Jeagne thitisa member of the national agreement.

A wedding journey was begun under peculiar | cireumstances near Hartford, Conn., Saturday, | John Burrows, the groom, owns a farm on the | slope of old Talcott mountain, Belle Andrews, | the bride, kept house for her father in lus little house on the mountain top. Friday they were married at the home of the bride. They had arranged to — take a short wedding trip. Tiere is a little | railway station at the foot of the mountain, a mile or so away. This they resolved to reach , by coasting down the mountain on a hand sled. | All went well until about half the descent | had been accomplished. Then John suddenly | saw ahead an ox team toiling slowly up the (roxd. Theyroad was narrow. On one side | towered an overhanging mass of rock; on the other side was the brink of a precipice | forty feet in height. There was little time to think, and just before meeting the approach- ing team the groom suddenly turned the course of the sled and they went flying over the precipice. The young farmer had calculated j well, The landing was made in several feet of ‘ielding snow and no serious harm resulted. Friends from above ceyemny to ig rescue and the pair, ther carpet » Were dug out dnd once more started on tee jour- “ey. This time the station was reached with- out accident and the couple continued their journey in high spirits. ws to give them a!

Patterson; where the collection of the tax upon which the lien is based is restrained by the courts; where property encumbered by a tax lien ne intu possession of the United States by escheat or gift or of the United States or the District of Columbia by gift or purchase and the unpaid assessments against the same thereby be= came void; by the omission of the amount of uupaid tax from the certificates of arrearages of taxes required to be given by the collec of taxes by act of Congress of February 6, 1879, which directs that) such omission shall operate to relieve the property affected from further pursuit for such tax liens against such property of their secur- lations of special correction of su June 19, 1878. and June 2 assessments under acts of 7, 1879. “The claims for amount of reduction in special assessments mentioned in this bill grew limiting the benefit of revision to those who had paid their special assessments prior to June 19. 1878. ‘This provision was apparently tend to those who had paid their special assessments the reliei given by the act of June 19, 1578. to those only whose special as- sessments were unpaid, and not to exclude from such rehef those who bad paid subsequently to that date. A number of these payments were ade after June 18, 1878, but before the com- pletion of the revision of the assessments, upon the the promise, it is claimed, of the then Com- missioners that if such payments were found by the revision to have been excessive the amount of reduction would be refused. The Commissioners know of no good reason why these claims should not be allowed.” The amount invoived in the bill will not ex- ceed $40,000, ———____ THE WHEAT STATISTICS, The Close Agreement Found in the Res ports of Production and Distribution. The March report of Prof. J. BR. Dodge, Statistician of the Department of Agriculture, contains a comparison of the statistics of wheat production for the last nine years with those on the distribution of the wheat crop tor the same period. The average annual production, as derived from the crop estimates of the statis- fieian, made in December of each year, amounted to 445,000,000 bushels, The distribu- tion, as ascertained by later records, has been for food, 264,000,000 bushels annually; tor seed, 54,000,000 bushels; for exportation in form of wheat and flour, 129,000,000 bushels; making a total distribution of 447,000,000 bushels each This indicates, it is held, that the statis- n's estimates of production, so far as they have erred at all, have erred on the whole on the side of conservatism and not, as wheat speculators have sometimes charged. on the side of exaggeration. The two sets of figures, a Svan reporter was informed, are based upon separate and independent data and are made Up Upon a uniform system from year to year, which admits of no modification to secure agreement between them in any given case. ‘Those on production are made up within a few months after the completion of the harvest and are based on the data obtained through the correpondents and agents of the depart- ment appointed for the especial purpose of sup- plying information on this subject, while those on distribution are necessarily prepared many months later and based upon data derived largely from wholiy different sources—those on exportation. for example, being obtained by the statistical bureau ot the Treasury depart- Ment through the collectors of customs. That the two sets of figures in fact show a remarka- bly close agreement is, it is claimed, a very satisfactory evidence of the substantial ac- curacy of the data used and the soundness of the methods pursued in making up each branch of the statistical account.

Classic and muddy Cambridge, Mass., is greatly stirred up by the discovery that a re- tired clergyman, a former pastor of one of the city churches, is running an open poker room on the principal thoroughfare. He not ouly sells aud redeeis the chips put he ofteu takes ahand in himself. Among his visitors are | men prominent in Cambridge, some of them holders of official positions, and the fact that | the establishment could run along openly and without molestation is due largely to this fact. Another place similar to this, only its pro- prictor is a layman, ism fuil dlast nearly op- posite and its patronage, too. is eminently respectable. It is also said that a score of gambling clubs and a half dozen poliey shops flourish in the university city. OSicial attention was vd to the existence of the two dens mentioned the other day when a woman wrote Mayor Gilmore that her bus- band had lost money in one of the places. ‘The matter was turned over to the chief of police. The latter official was much astonished when he looked into the matter to find out who were invol but his firmness of character leads to the belief that the ex-divine had better quit Cambridge if he doesn’t want to spend a season in the house of correction, ee A special from Allentown, Mich., says a large number of the lake shore fruit growers have been in the city during the past week and their general opinion is that the peach crop is a dead ; failure again thi Pony Your Buoon When spring approaches it is very important that the blood sould be purified, as at this season impuri- ties which bave beet accumulating for monthsoreven years are lable to manifest theinselves and seriously affect the health.
