What Police Officers Say of the De- elsion in the Eckloft Case. “The decision of the Supreme Court in the Eckloff case,” said a policeman to a Sran re- porter this morning, “is certainly discouraging to the officers. Heretofore we thought we were members of a metropolitan force and have always worn a shield, but now we had better return to the old star badge. “If the officers can be dismissed without a trial they certainly will not make as many eases as heretofore. This morning I heard one of the men say that he would be careful in the future not to arrest any one who has influence. Uatil now if such persons violated a law and were arrested the officers felt se- eure because tl understood that it took more than a little influence to get them off the force; they knew that th would be given a trial by aboard of officers who, were thor- oughly acquainted with police duty and that & just decision would be reached, but now they fear that they may be dropped without such a trial.” se The Sons of the Revolution.

A GREAT GATHERING AT THE NATIONAL RIFLES’ ARMORY—THE EXERCISES—ELOQUENT REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF ODD-FELLOWSMIP BY PAST GRAND SIRE NICHOLSON OF PENNSYLVANIA. ‘The seventy-first anniversary of the organiza- tion of the Independent Order of Odd ¥ellows, which fell this year on Saturday, the 26th in- stant, was celebrated last evening at the Na- tional Rifles’ armory, G street between 9th and 10th streets northwest. The audience ‘as one of the largest ever gathered on such an ocea- sion. Long before the hour fixed for the be- ginning of the exercises every seat was taken and the aisles were packed almost entirely with ladies. About 7 o'clock the Grand Canton, in their rich uniforms, formed at the hali on 7th street and, headed by the band of the Third artillery, marched by way of 7th street, Penn- sylvauia avenue and 14th street (takiny up the orator of the day—Past Grand Sire Jamos B. cholson of Pennsylvania—at Willard’s).

NICHO] SON, The feature of the evening was the address of Past Grand Sire Nicholson, He spcke elo- quently of the origin of the order, its work and its future. He reterred to the claims made of the origin of the order away back in the dark ages, but said these claims could not be sustained, ‘The order could not be traced back more than acentury. He sketched two of Dickens’ char- acters—Betsy Higden, fearful of meeting the fate of a pauper. and Liazie Hickson, who gave Betsy her sympathy and aid. It was that feel- ing of sympathy existing among the lace makers of Nottingham which prompted them to cure for the sick, to give decent burial to the dead and to keep out of the poor house, which led to the organization of the order in that country. It spread rapidly there and soon reached our shores, A lodge was established in New York of which the poet Morns was a member, but it did not prosper. GROWTH OF THE ORDER IN AMERICA, In 1819 Wildey established the lodge in Bal- timore on which the present structure has risen. Look at the order then. Look at it now—over 12,000 lodges; over 500,000 members; 349,000,000 spentin relief and 2,500,000 dis- bursed annually. He referred to James L. Ridgely, John A. Kennedy and Joshua Vansant as wrly members of the order, and to the fact that the first named told the speaker that he was attracted to the order because he saw that it would become a great social and moral power. He spoke of a number of instances in which the order had aided those in want, and said there was no place where money can do more good than in passing through the treas- ury of a lodge. for it was righteously disposed of. After men disburse charity oniy to find that it was to an unworthy recipient their hearts became hardened, and when # worthy person applies for aid he is repulsed. Not so in Odd Fellowship, for due inquiries are made and charity is quietly bestowed in such a man- ner as not to affect the feelings of the re- cipients. THE SHOCK OF WAR. In pathetic terms he spoke of the meting of the Grand Lodge at Nashville in 1860, “hen the venerable Wildey was present, just’ a3 the young men of the north were about 1 desert their lodge rooms and the young me% of the south to dothe same. It was predic*ed then that in the war the order would cons: to an end. The next annual session was hei# in Bal- timore and representatives were told ot to re- spond. Those from the north with pad&es from the military authorities met in Baltisore and atevery rolicall the names of the jouthern states were called, but their seats ained vacant. The session, however, went on with its business, knowing that when the pressure of those calamitous times was remcved the delegates would be found in their seat*. This pressure was removed and in 1865 every state represented and they legislated net for a ion, but for the whole country. He did not believe the angels ever looked down upon a brighter scene than this—a scene which proved that love is stronger than politics; that there was no power in the north or in the south to kill “fraternity.” Mr. Nicholson then elo- quently portrayed the future of the order. The the song, “I'll Never Forget,’ by Benjamin F. Taylor; musi he Puritan's Davghter,” by the third artillery band; original song by James E.

ALBavon's.—It was a fine audience which oo- cupied nearly all the seat at Alban: last night to hear the Carleton company in Cel- lier and Stephenson's agreeable opera, ‘‘Do- rothy.” Whatever high opinion it may have had of the company when the curtain went up that opinion was greatly improved when the curtain went down, for in “Dorothy” the com- pany has made its best impression so far in this engagement, and Musical Director Haig may be congratulated, ell as the artists un- der hi Friding hand. Miss Alice Carle's vivac- ity and voice, Miss Vincent's beauty and grace, Mr. Carleton’s figure and feeling, Mr. Murray's baritoné brilliance, Mr. Bigelow’s chromatic comedy, the excellence of indi- viduals generally which manifests itself in mag- nified degree in the concerted parts, the chorus, the orchestra, artistic and handsom scenery each contribute to make of “Dorothy” a eek het equaily agreeable to stage and auditorium, Each did his or her part well, andthe result could not be otherwise than happy. Again tonight, Natronat.—‘‘Natural Gas” called out a large house last night and every one who came brought his laugh with him. The play is in the main as it has been in other seasons, but several new additions are observable and they are improvements. One of the hits was the whistling trio of Messrs, Donnelly and Girard and Miss Sutherland, but the hit was the sing- ing of Hub Smith’s new song, “Swinging in the Grape Vine Swing,” by Donnelly and Girard, Forty-tive of Mr. Smith's Columbia Club friends in full dress and the front row waited for the song and added their voices to the chorus, while the house applauded so vociferously that the performance could not go on until the singers came again, At the end of the act Mr. Smith was called betore the curtain and sang a verse of his song, pretty much the whole house joining in the swinging tuneful chorus and having a roaring time. Kenvay's.—Manager Kernan in presenting the Metropolitan Specialty Company to the patrons of his popular theater has made a ten- strike, for the combination is one of the strongest yet scen here and contains many well known vaudeville stars. The feature of the entertainment is Stedman's dog circus. The Julians in a parlor contortion act are graceful and fully come up to the expectations of the audience. Woodson and Bennett in a musical specialty, Cooper, Daly and Lynch in a comic specialty entitled’ *-Picnics” and old-time Bally Buckley in @ new creation are all good. Again tonight. Haxnts’ Brurov—‘‘8ue.”—The Webster-Brady Company, in “She,” drew a large audience at this house last night. The story is told in five acts, and kept the audience interested until the fall of the curtain. The scene upon the deck of an Arab slave dhow was as natural as it was picturesque. ‘The electric storm, a wreck off the African coast, the festivitics’ of the wavagesand the cavern home of “She” were all stage effects of merit. The company is in all respects a good one. Again tonight. Tux Graxp Coxcert.—The concert of vocal music given last evening in Lin- coln Music Hall was pleasing to lovers of good singing and violin playing. Miss Char- lotte Walker, soprano; Mrs. Carl Alves, con- tralto; Messrs, Albert Lester King, tenor, and Carl Daft, baritone, were the vocalists,’ and Mr. Franz Wilczek, ‘the violinist. The’ pro- gram was marked by a liberal conjunction of the works of many schools, from Verdi and Vieuxtemps to Wagner and Liszt. A quartet of Costa's, which opened the program, was given an exceptionally fluent and finished pertorm- ance—one, in fact, worthy of a much more in- teresting ' composition. Miss Walker sang t's splendid setting of the familiar “Lor- ei” with considerable dramatic power and vividness of contrast. Mrs, Alves gave an earnest and painstaking rendering, marked by no little breadth and sincerity of style, of a noble aria from St. Saen’s “Samson and De- lilah.” As much cannot be said of Mr. Dufft's rendering of the song to the evening star in “Tannheuser,” for he failed to interpret its deeply poetic significance in adequate meas- Mr. King’s voice showed sweetness and a n lyric tenderness in a “Spanish Sere- of Roeder’s, to the evident satisfaction of the audience. ‘One of the chief pleasures of the evening was in the violin playing of Mr. Wilezek. He displays « fine tone and a tech- nique that is especialiy at home in the delica- cies and graces of such compositions as Vieux- temp’s fantasie and variations, but that is not above the resort to something of trickery upon occasion.

The Meridian Club Proposes to Go in a Body Into the New Organization. ‘The new University Club held a iarge and enthusiastic meeting last evening at the resi- dencé of Mr. W. D. Cabeli, 1407 Massachusetts avenue. Mr. John H. Voorhees presided and Dr. Weston Flint acted as secretary. The sub- committee on membership reported that there were already about 150 names enrolled and the new organization might well be considered as in a most flourishing condition. It was decided to appoint a committee of eighteen to report nominations for officers at the next meeting and President Voorhees stated that he would announce the committee in the course of a few days. Probably the most important business of the evening was the reading and discussion of &® communication from the Meridian Club offer- ing to amalgamate with the University Club in one organization. The Meridian Club, with a very few exceptions, is made up of men who would be able to qualify as members of the University Club, by far the larger majority of them being college graduates, and the propo- sition was that the combined organization should continue the name and principles of the University Club and that only college grad- uates should be eligible to membership, he Meridian Club offers the lease of its handsome club house on I street, and all that the new organization would have to do would be to step right into satisfactory quarters already prepared. Although no final action could be taken on the proposition the general sentiment ws expressed seemed to be strongly in favor of the union, and a committec of three was appoiuted, consisting of A. D, Anderson, George 8. Fellows and Henry Wise Garnett, to. confer with a similar committee from the Meridian Club. with instructions to report at the next meeting. A rising vote of thanks was tendered Prof. Cabell for the many courtesies and hospitalities he has extended to the new organization, after which the meeting adjourned until May 13 at the same place, After the meeting the members were invited to the rear drawing room, where light retresh- ments were spread and ‘a pleasant hour spent a pene over the future of the University Sub, Election of Officers.

Cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda, in their Proper proportions, have been recognized for more than fifty years as the standard for leavening purposes, and now these ingredients, with a small quantity of flour or starch added to preserve the mixture, in the form of a pure cream of tartar baking powder have almost wholly super- seded yeast and the old methods of producing pastry, hot biscuit, cake, etc. The manufacturers of Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder have for a score of years adhered to the use of the above ingredients, and these only, and have thus made it the recognized standard for a pure cream of tartar powder. The recent report of the United States Government Chemist shows CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER RICHEST IN CREAM OF TARTAR AND SODA and HIGHEST IN LEAVENING POWER ofall the pure* cream of tartar baking powders examined. See Bulletin No. 13, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. The baking powder nearest to Cleveland’s in strength was found to contain .98 of ammonia. The Canadian Government Report of 1889, as well as the Reports of the Food Commissions of Ohio, 1887, and New Jersey, 1889, confirm the fact that Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder is the richest in cream of tartar and richest in leavening power, and, therefore, absolutely the best of all the cream of tartar baking powders. . * Nore.—A pure cream of tartar powder contains only the ingredients above named. When alum is used it is classed as an “alum powder”; when ammonia, an “ammonia powder.” All ammonia and alum powders, no matter how high their strength, are to beavolded as dangerous. CITY ITEMS.
