The officers and standing committee were chrected to inquire into the matter of a hall, kc., and report at the next meeting. es THE RACES AT BENNING. Opening Day on the New Track—Five Interesting Events, The first day at the new track at Benning yesterday proved an undoubted success, Tak- ing into consideration the coldness of the weather and the fact of its being the opening day the crowd was larger than usual. The races were good and the finishes close, although the “dumps” were frequent and favorites had a hard time of it. Too much praise cannot be given the new jockey club for the energy and skill they have shown in getting the grounds in condition, Yesterday, too, the arrangements in the main were con- venient and excellent. The entrance gate needs to be enlarged in some way, especially if the inconvenient plan of having the Penn- sylvania Company sell admission tickets to the grounds, which have to be changed for other tickets at the, gate is kept up. Little is gained by buying a ticket at the station which it is necessary to exchange for something else at the grounds. The railroad company were generous in the number of cars furnished and everything will in all probability run entirely smoothly today. THE RACES. The first race yesterday was five furlongs for a purse of 2300, divided between first three horses, for all ages. Little Ella was made a strong favorite for the race, with Beck a good second, Little Ella is one of Davis & Hall's cracks and Anderson was up. Both favorites were beaten out, however, J. Dunn’s Village Maid, 116, winning with considerable ease, C. Cornehlsen’s Onward, 109, second, and C. D. MeCoy’s Beck third. Two-dollar Mutuals id £16.16 straight and $6.25 for place. The second race was long delayed, but ex- citing when finally run, it was a selling race at six furlongs and thirteen entries faced the starter. It was a hard bunch to get off and much time was consumed in the effort. Man- hattan, owned by the Brookville stable, sct the pace for the entire distance. The finish was close and exciting between Manhattan and Bradley's colt Shotover, the latter finally win- ning by half a length, W. P. Burch’s Cornelia third.” Mutuals paid $10.20 straight; $5.40 lace. : ‘The third race was for colts, one-half mile, and was won rather easily by C. D. McCoy’s Captain Wagner, with C. Cornehisen’s “Coriolanus md and Burch’s Elstan third.. Mutuals d $3.20 straight; £6.20 place, ‘The fourth race was something of a turn down. Bess and Carrie G. were thought best of by the majority, although a strong tip was being circulated on Prather. The race was won in the stretch by Burch’s Prather, Mec- Coy’s Vandergrift second end La Clair third, Mutuals paid 36 straight; $4.10 for place. ‘The last race was over the hurdles at one mile and was won by Jim Murphy, who was hardly headed during the race; | Bassanio second, Mutuals paid €4.55 straight; $3.10 place. pace The Emancipation Day Parade. Arrangements are being perfected for the celebration of the twenty-eighth anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the District of Colniubia, Ata meeting of the committee on arrangements last evening it was stated that a stand would be erectedon the west front of Lincoln Park.

The conference, under the auspices of the National Reform Association, has for its object the inculcation of religious principles into civil government and the insertion of the name of God in the American Constitution. Secretary T. B. Stevenson called the meeting to order and announced that owing to the re- cent catastrophe in Kentucky Gen. James A. Elkin, who had expected to preside, would not be abie to be present, and Rev. H. H. George of Geneva College, Pennsylvania, would offi- ciate in his stead. It was decided to choose permanent officers, and a committee consisting of Messrs. Wylie, Wallace and George was appointed to hand in names for the various positions. THE SECULAR THEORY OF THE STATE. Rev. David McAllister, D.D., LL.D., of Pitts- burg, Pa., delivered an address on “‘The secu- lar theory of the state.” This he termed the theory which separates the state aa a state from every religious idea, ‘The sec- ular theory does not attempt to separate the state from the church, but from religion itself. ‘et the state is the institution of right ordained God. He argued that the idea of patriotism was incompatible with any other than the doc- trine of the Christian idea of the moral charac- ter and accountability of the state, _ He held that the state in providing educa- tion must also as a duty inculcate religious principles and the Christian religion, since that is the only true one. Iteis the duty of the state to instruct its citizens with reference to the sanctity of un oath. The secular theory leaves the church to do what it claims the states cannot do, but the reform association has taken a firm stand against this theory and in- sists upon the state doing its full duty in relig- ious as well as in secular matters, In concluding Dr. McAllister said that if all vestige of religion were removed from the underlying principles of statehood the country would at once be swept by a great flood of im- morality and lawlessness. REV. MR. SOMERVILLE'S ADDRESS. Dr. McAllister was followed by Rey. R. M. Somerville of New York in an address on “The Christian doctrine of civil sovereignty.” He held that it is foolish and wrong to deny the supremacy of Christ over the state and yet to insist that he was supreme over the church, in- asmuch as His relations to both are the same. He argued in favor of so amending the Consti- tution as to obtain a proper recognition of God in that instrument. Atthe conclusion of the address, on the recommendation of the committee of nomina- tions, Dr. Johnson Edwards was elected presi- dent for tomorrow's session and Dr. ‘f. Steven- son secretary during the entire conference. The meeting then adjourned until this after- noon, —_— The “Week Day” Fair. Very prettily decorated was the lecture room of Grace M. E. Church, where a week day fair was opened last mght. Wash day, ironing day, mending day, reception day and other house- hold festivals are each represented by a booth, at which articles useful and ornamental are for sale. Quite a large crowd was present early in the evening, and there is promise of an in- creasing business tonight and tomorrow night. Retreshments were in active demand and those who hungered and thirsted were waited upon by pretty waitresses, The committee in charge of the fair, which is for the temporal benefit of the church, is composed of Mrs, It. B. Tretler, Mrs. Melhorne, Mrs, A. Hendricks, Mrs. E. Myer, Mrs. H. Groff, Mrs. Farr, Mrs. E. P. WASHINGTON. D. Richardson, Miss Lottie Chew and Miss Ida Calhoun. ——__—_. Dr. Witmer Talks About Holland. Dr. A. H. Witmer, whois a trustee of the public schools, gave an interesting lecture at the High School last night entitled “An Even- ing in Holland.” The lecture was given for the benefit of the manual training school fund, which is exhausted. Dr. Witmer described in a delightfully entertaining manner the home life of the Hollanders., His remarks were illus- trated with lantern views. Miss Nettie Mc- Linden closed the entertainment with a reci- tation. Sxrxs Ox Fre. AGONIZING, ITCHING, BURNING AND BLEED- ING ECZEMA IN ITS WORST STAGES. A RAW SORE FROM HEAD TO FEET. HAIR GONE.

The Chemist to the Department of Agriculture, in order to determine the minimum limit of amount of filling consistent with good keeping qualities, made aad 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, 7, 2 law to use a label August 17, 1889, recommends on page 623 that manufacturers be required by . giving the composition of the baking powder sold. The manufacturers of Cleveland's Superior Raking Powder have used such a label for years. and in this respect stand alone. ___ AMUSEMENT ERNAN'S NEW WASHINGTON THEATER, Eleventh st. south of Pennsylvania avenue LEONZO BROS. and Their Wonderful ACTING DOGS.
