Mason Lisle to have Fourth Auditor Lynch and Second Controller Gilkeson of the United States Treasury audit certain accounts of the petitioner came up for hearing in the Court in General Term yesterday. The basis for the action is an alleged debt of $288.60 due by the United States to Lisle, arising out of a short payment for mileage incurred in consequence of a journey undertaken and performed by said Lisle as a naval officer in obedience to the orders of the Secretary of the Navy. The claim was originally disallowed by Controller Maynard and is still unsettled. The govern- ment takes the position that a “‘mandamus would not lie against an officer of the Treasury Department for refusal to allow and pay a claim against the United States, for, however obviously without legal jurisdiction his refusal — be,a mandamus against him to compel such allowance and payment is none the less, in effect, a suit against the United States.” It ig also held that, as the claim had been dis- allowed formerly and there being no newly- discovered material evidence or that the original disallowance involved errors of com- putation, it was not competent to reopen the settlement, —___ Mrs. Hoffman’s Funeral. The funeral services of Mrs. Sarah C. Hoff- ™man, which took place at the residence of her sen, Mr.Charles W.

The services were brief but impressive, consisting of prayers and a short address, in which a just and elo- nt tribute was paid to the many virtues of the deceased by Rev. Dr. Bartlett, after which the remains were conveyed to the Baltimore and Obio station, to be taken to Frederick, where they will be interred. The honorary pall bearers were: Hon. C. D. Drake, Hon.

Close of the Colored Conference—A Platform Adopted, At the afternoon session of the conference of educators of the colored youth yesterday at Lincoln Memorial Church Prof. Jesse Lawson read a paper on “Legal Training.” In the course of nis remarks Prof. Lawson criticised some partsof the address entitled “How to Solve the Problem,” which had been presented at the preceding session. ‘‘Itis well to raise the question,” said Prof. Lawson, in this connection: “Whether it is proper and profitable for the colored American to pursue any course of study different from that pursued by the white American, for we are Americansall, the colored no less than the white! Upon» careful exami- nationwe find that the tastes and aptitudes of the two great races in America are very much alike, And the chief ‘cause of prejudice and ant nisms among them is a lack of knowledge and closer contact with each other. When the white people of this country come to know us Laer will not find us so black as we are ain’ . “If it is good for a white boy to learn a trade it is also for the colored boy; if it is good for the white young man to perfect himself in a profession it 13 also good for the colored young man; if the white people need doctors, God knows that we do; if the white ple need lawyers and judges all creation knows that the colored people need them. But the paper presented by my excellent friend, Mr. lontgomery, seems to presume that the col- ored people have not attained to that stage of civilization yet to warrant the success of skilled physicians, competent lawyers. and learned theologians.” EDUCATION THE ONLY SOLUTION. Mr. 8. D. Fowler, A.B., instructor in the nor- mal department, Howard University, dis- cussed the question, “What have the Afro- Americans done since their emancipation?” “This question,” said he, “has often been asked ina spirit of contempt, as though we had accomplished little or nothing.” He then told of what has been done by colored gradu- ates in improving the condition of their race and also read a number of letters from institu- tions of learning to show what they were accomplishing. The records show that the ma- jority of their graduates are engaged in some useful occupation. His epee was mainly taken bs with statistics which, he said, showed con- clusively that they were capable of the highest development. Mr. Fowler said in concluding his remarks that education is the only solution of the race problem in America, A PROPOSED STATISTICAL BUREAU, Ex-Collector Cook moved that the directors be instructed to organize a board of statistics and that Mr. Fowler's paper be the first of a series of papers to be published on the subject of statistics. He said that he hoped the asso- ciation would make its headquarters in this city and keep its papers stored here, Prof. Simmons was of the opinion that this was trespassing on the duties of the board of di- rectors and suggested that Mr. Fowler be al- lowed to complete his statistics before the paper is published. After some discussion he was allowed sixty days to complete the paper. A motion to refer all resolutions to the di- rectors was carried anda motion to establish the position of statistical secretary was referred. Prof. Lawson moved a vote of thanks to Senator Blair and his associates for their efforts in behalf of the colored people. The motion was referred. The session adjourned after devoting some time to a discussion of papers that had been presented during the meeting. THE FINAL SESSION, The closing session of the conference began at 7:30 o'clock p.m. in the Fourth Baptist Church on Rstreet and the church was filled with a large and enthusiastic audience. Rev. Horace Bumstead was the first speaker and he took for his subject “Northern Phlanttropy: how it shall be encouraged and increased.” The burden of his discourse was an answer to the question, ‘What can we as workers in the southern field do to encourage northern help?” He insisted on the necessity of the north con- tinuing the assistance which it has given the south and said that there was already a sufficient number of institutions in the south and that the duty devolved upon the north of seeing to it that they were better equipped and endowed, Rey. E. M. Brackett, who followed, made an eloquent address in favor of national aid to southern education and urged the adoption of a national system of free schools. He was op- posed to the Blair bill, however, and argued that its adoption would have been an unwise move. Rev. J. E. Rankin was given an enthusiastic reception when he came forward to speak on the subject of “Spiritual and ethical culture of the Afro-American youth.” A PLATFORM ADOPTED. At the conclusion of a few remarks by Hon. John M. Langston, in which he expressed his sympathy with the aims of the convention, the report of the board of directors was pre- sented, setting forth expression of the views of the conference. It urged the need of harmony of action afhong educators and the creation of ahealthy public sentiment in favor of the edu- cation of colored youth. “We are fully convinced,” said the report, ‘of the necessity of universal education in a free government such as ours, and of the danger to our free institutions of large numbers of illiter- ate citizens who may exercise the right of suf- frage. We believe it to be the duty of the gen- eral government, for the protection of its own interests and those of the citizens of many dis- tricts within its borders, to grant national aid to states or districts within its borders—to grant national aid to states or districts for the re- moval of illiteracy so alarmingly prevalent in many of them. We here express our grati- tude to all who have labored to this end in one way or another and express the hope that some measure will be devised in the near fu- ture which shall meet the approval of a major- ity of those in authority, “A crying need at the — hour is the making permanent of the larger and more cen- tral institutions for learning for colored youth in the south through permanent endowments by private contributions. Many of them have struggled along fora quarter of a century, doing much good, it is true, but greatly hin- dered in their progress because of the uncer- tainty of their financial support. We appeal to the wealthy and philanthropic everywhere to contribute of their means for ‘such endow- ments.” The report was, unanimously adopted. The meeting then adjourned and the members of the conference were tendered a reception in the lower portion of the church by the teachers of the public schools of the city. The next meeting of the association will be held in Atlanta, Ga., December 30. ees A Breeze From the West. Mr. A. J. Blethen of the Minneapolis Tribune, familiarly known as the Pulitzer of northwest- ern journalism, has been in the city the past week in the interests of his paper, but left for the west last night. He was seen by a Star reporter yesterday in the Tri/une’s new and dainty head- quarters, _— furnished and opened at 521 14th street. The ozone-laden zephyrs of the wooly western plains seemed to be wafting gently through his matilla-tinted side whiskers as he explored in his versatile way several realms of thought in response tothe reporter's queries, “Minnesota is as solid for the protective prin- ciple as she was in '88, when we rolle: up 35,000 majority for Harrison,” he said, as he closed one eye to see if Maj. Davis was striking a level with the files he was hanging on the wall. ‘We expect some differences of individ- ual opinion, but our party in that state has confidence in the integrity and wisdom of its national leaders and will support whatever tariff bill McKinley’s‘committee gets into the committee of the whole, regai of the speeches that any governor may make.” “Don't think, then, that your will have hard work to carry the state next fall?” “No harder than they will in Kansas and Penn- sylvania.” : “Are the Twin Cities growing?” “They had 90,000 population in 1880 and have 400,000 now*-about quadrupled, which isn't very bad.” “Which town is really om the head of Missis- sippi navigation?” 5 ‘it was settled several years ago that Minne- — is the head of navigation and St. Paul e collar button.” —___ Death of John P.

The sogginess of the soil out in the region round about the stan@ pipe makes grad- ing and rolling impossible, and it is not unlikely that more of the first exhibition games will be played at Capitol park than was at first intended. It will be somewhat interesting to note the work of these new men, presenting the phe- nomenon of a base ball team called together from the elements, as it were, with scarcely any acquaintance with each other and only 9 few hours of preliminary work on the same field together. It is like the making of a pud- ding on a new recipe for the first time—one does not really know how the whole business will taste, even though each of the ingredients is fully up to the market standard. THE BATTERIES. No definite arrangement has yet been made in regard to the pitching and catching com- binations, The batteries are as yet unformed, The pitchers are Maloney, Phillips, Mace and McCoy, and the catchers Bird, Riddle and Nicholas, The pitching talent is likely to be reduced to three men befgre long, leaving three batteries, Maloney und McCoy give romise of becoming the star twirlers, and iddie and Nicholas their Hn gee receivers, but all of this ground will be experimented over until the best results are obtained, The other men are _ definitely placed— Whistler on first base, O’Brien on second, Hill on third and Gleason, if he comes, at short, with Bader in left field, Stover, the deaf-mute, EX-SERGEANT-AT-ARMS LEEDOM. He Doesw’t Know Anything About His « Late Cashier, Silcott. “No, Thaven't heard a thing from the dear departéd lately,” continued Mr. Leedom, “in receipt of letters which assure me that he can be caught without any trouble if the writers are only consulted about it. Yesterday I received three letters—one from London, Ontaria; another from Victoria, British Columbia, and the other from an out- of-the-way town in the state of Washington. All three writers displayed a great deal of al- leged anxiety to arrest Silcott, who was in the immediate vicinity of all three towns, and all they wanted as a preliminary was the modest sum of $200, Rather strange that all should mame the same amount.” CONGRESSIONAL HONORS. “Are you going tobe @ candidate for con- gressional honors?” “I cannot say yet, A great many of my friends are anxious that I should enter the race for the nomination, but I have not de- cided.” San Entertainment at Edel’s Hall, Grace aoe i gave a violin solo; Mr. A.

The news that came from Richmond this morning to the effect that the local team had defeated Baltimore, 2 to 1, is rather encourag- ing, inasmuch as it shows that Barnie is not al- together invincible. The other games yester- day resulted as follows: At Norfolk—Philadel- phia, 29; Roselands (an amateur team), 0. At Savannah—New York, 10; Philadelphia, 6 (P.L.) ten innings, At Philadelphia—Athletics, 14; picked team, 5. NOTES OF THE GAME. Thompson, Myers, Gleason and Schriver have signed the following declaration of principles, addressed to Mr, Reach: ‘‘We, of the Philadel- — National League club, desirous of contra- icting rumors concerning ourselves, hereby state we are perfectly satisfied with our club and contracts, and intend to do our utmost, in- dividually and collectively, toward bringing our club out ahead in the championship race for the pennant of 1890.” The international six-club schedule opens the season May 1 and closes it October 6. Arumor is current that the Brooklyn and Cincinnati National League teams will dispose of two pitchers each to some of the weaker club members, It is said that Kilroy of last year's Baltimores has a high standing offer from the Boston League club of a three years’ contract—#6,000 for the first year, $5,000 for the second and $4,000 for the third. Pat Tebeau, brother of Cincinnati’s left fielder, will captain the Cleveland Players’ League club, It was originally intended that Larkin should have charge of the team, but the players preferred Tebeau, thinking him best fitted for the place. The Capitol Base Ball club has organized for the season with the following players: B, Dow- den, c.; H. Wilson, p.; J.McCormick, 1st b.; R. McCormick, 2d b.;'A. Langley, 3d b.; A. Cope- land, s.8.; A. Burdine, Lf.; G. Campbell, c.t.; M, Wilson, r.f.; J. Ryan, c.f. The All-District Base Ball Club, composed entirely of employes of the District govern- ment, has been organized and will go into ac- tive training at once. The following are the players and their positions on the nine, as far as has been decided: J. Watson, c., p. or c.f; J. E. Jones, p.; J. W. Dudley, c.; C. H. Fuller, | c., p.; A. McCormick, jr., 8d b.; A, M. Schoepf, c.f.; @. Robinson, Ist b.; 8. Kalbfus, 2d b. Fitzgerald, r.f.; J. Brien. Mr. Orris H. Brown of the engineer department is the manager. The club embraces some of the best amateur talent in the District and with practice will make astrong team. It is their intention to apply at once for admission to the Depart- mental or District League and Manager Brown Says that any club that a to beat the All- Districts will have to hustle. Ata recent meeting of the Alert Base Ball Club for the purpose of reorganization all the old members were present. The team will be composed during ¢ coming season of the fol- lowing: Mr. Ed Walsh, president and secretar; Mr. Will Moore, treasurer, and the Messrs. Leach, Erner, Mace, Williamson, Madigan Bros., Davis, Moran and Fuller. All of these are well-known amateur players and good work may be expected from them, The team will commence its practice at an early day. The Ideal Base Ball Club has reorganized for 1890 with the following players: A. B, Leet, Thos, Humphrey, R. A. Lewis, W. H. Clagett, H. O. Chamberlin, P. N. Weisner, W. N. Pome- roy, = Daskam, H. H. Burdette, W. M. Bard and L, C. Kellogg. Games with any ama- teur club of this city can be arranged by com- municating with H. O.

Postmaster General Wanamaker having recommended that the Anacostia post office be made a branch of the Washington office, with a free delivery system, a petition signed by a very large number of citizens was pre- sented to the District Commissioners today asking that they a for posting the names of streets and numbers of houses and secure the necessary appropriation for the rent of an office. ne The Gymnastic Club’s Exhibition. The Olympian Gymnastic Club gave its first entertainment last night at Edel’s Hall and presented a first-rate program of wrestling, club swinging, boxing, vocal and instrumental music. Wm. Northridge did some pretty club swinging and James O'Rourke of this city bested Frank Black of Canada in a three-round boxing match. Geo. Northridge got the better of William Davis and Willism Young did up Joe Lammon in three rounds. Edward ‘Tyne of this city sparred with James Green of Newark and knocked him out, while Wm. Nally proved too much for J. H. Stevens. One or two more interesting matches closed the even- ing’s entertainment. —_—-___ Bishop Newman on the Race Question. Bishop John P. Newman lectured at the Metropolitan M.E. Church last evening before alarge audience on the subject “Shem, Ham and Japheth.” The lecture was received with many marks of approbation by his hearers, In dealing with the race question the lecturer expressed the opinion that the Caucasian race need have no fear of the colored people ever gaining control. ‘There was no instance in his- tory, ho said, where an emancipated race ever gained the ascendancy. He further said that education alone would not bring about the re- sult desired, but education softened by re- ligion and religious influences. Give him H. and 8. Rothschild, gave vocal selections.

Chairman of committee, Foreigners Should Become Americans, To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR: I have read with much interest the argu- ments made by Mr. Simon Wolf and others be ore the committee of Congress charged with the consideration of a proper regulation of the influx of foreigners to this country. I can hardly find language strong enough in which to second Mr. Wolf's suggestion that every foreigner should assume the duties of citizenship after having lived here a sufficient length of time. This is right and just, and cannot be too rigidly insisted upon. It is, huw- ever, in my opinion essential that the power of the American citizen be wielded only by men entirely conversant with the language in which our laws are written, and for that purpose I suggest that not only be it made compulsory that the foreign resident become a citizen after he has been here five years, but thet he then and there give proof of his ability to read and write the English language. Taking my own countrymen as an example, we want no German citizens—we want German-Ameri- cans, Aveust DonatH. ee es The Lafayette Monument Site. To the Editor of THe EVENING Star: The public can hardly fail to be surprised that anybody should be surprised that nothing was said against the proposed selection ef the site for the Lafayette monument when the de- cision was announced, The explanation must be that the public was so paralyzed with sur- prise at a decision so opposed to all the canons and requirements of art that it lost the power of expression for the time being. It has since been recovered, it would seem. If the commission hadn’t the power to pro- cure or the taste and knowledge necessary to select a proper site for so fine a work of art as the Lafayette group, it should have said so in the beginning, by asking to be relieved of the responsibility, with a suggestion that Congress should take the necessary steps to have the monument properly placed. Nearly as much depends upon having a work of art properly placed as SRO the merits of the work itself; and as the Lafayette monument promises to be thé finest work of its class not only in this city but in the whole country, no pains or expense ought to be spared in providing for it the best location in the national capital. And in doing that it should not be allowed to interfere with anything else, nor should anything else be per- mitted to detract from its effect, March 28, ’90.

The Chemist to the Department of Agriculture, in “order to determine the minimum limit of amount of filling qualities, made and published in Bulletin No, 13 (page 622) four different formule, in all of which these ingredients, and these only, are used.* This standard for the ingredients of a pure baking powder (cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda, and a little farinaceous material to preserve the strength), recognized by housekeepers and scientists alike, has always been ad- hered to by the manufacturers of “Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder.” The composition of this powder has for years been published on every label, and the accuracy of the analysis confirmed by National and State Chemists and by Food Commissions, “Cleveland’s is absolutely the best and most desirable baking powder manufactured,” ® Ammonia or alum powders may occasionally test a trifle higher, but they are dangerous to health, and, whatever their strength, they should be avoided. The Government Report, August 17, 1889, recommends on page 623 that manufacturers be required by law to use a label giving the composition of the baking powder sold. The manufacturers of Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder have used such a label for years, and in this respect stand alone. CITY ITEMS. The Greatest and Grandest Bargains Ever Before Known.
