THE SPECIAL SERVICES AT ALL SOULS’ CHURCH— SPEECHES BY COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS— REPRESENTATIVES BRECKINRIDGE AND GREEN- WALGE AND MR. G. KENNEDY. ® were treated last services held at All Souls’ Church to exceedingly eloquent speeches in behalf of the efforts that are being made by the Washington Humane Society. Commis- sioner Douglass, in his capacity as chairman of the meeting, was quite hay in his selection of the few words that he had occasion to say, The Commissioner, after music had been rendered by the choir and Dr. Shippen had opened the @ervices with a prayer, took for his theme cruelty to animais and the means to preveat it, and expressed his hearty sympathy with any such moveme The meeting had been called, he said, in order to promote the objects of a good organization and to bring to light the moral, sentimental and practical necessities of such works. He well remembered the pioneer of the movement in this city, famous Mr. Gatchell, who fought the good fight for several Years single handed, and he told how that energetic gentleman once rushed from ® barber shop with his face half lath- ered in order to stop a brutal driver who was trying to make his horse go up a steep hill with a heavy load. The frequent prosecutions that are one of the results of the organization of the society are bringing the horse owners to their senses, and some of the new comers fu town who did not know the laws are getting | the hang of the school house very well, a used to #: na boy. He describ unful detail the operation known as ae t the pro- Ribitory provision that h: eu struck out Several hundred peop might at the sp< just b of a bill now before Congress wonld be rein- serted. He then introduced the first speaker, Mr. Breckwridge of Kentucky. which state, he added, has achieved the reputation of having the finest horses in the country simply because the folks there know how to use such a noble enimal. MR. BRECKINRIDGE’S FIRST ARGUMENT was that, in the midst of all of our civilization, the best work toward keeping society what it shouid be comes from the volunteer associations thatare to be foundon all sides. He said we are trying to work out the problem of divorcing church from state, of giving everybody civil liberty, so that each can educate himself to the highest possible development, and the ques- tion, amid all this effort, is how far voluntary action can take the place of statutory and gov- ernmental duty and power. He ap fore his auditors im behalf of the good caus: the society, actuated not so much by the par- ticular objects of the association as by the | Seneral object tha: ail such institutious have of bettering the elements of humanity within our breasts. As we develop in this life of | Progress we produce diametrically opposite | tendencies, each growing from the struggle for | bread, but as civilization increases we become better, and we are growing better all the time. We should see to it that we exert the powers | given to us to aid, where we can. the un-| fortunate ones t are driven to the wall in the strugg!e—to alleviate suffcring wherever we find it. This country has found a remedy for every diffi arisen, even though it was slow in itself, it has always come, and it has been the right thing. ‘The one great remedy for a good any of the evils that beset society is to found in THE WORK OF THE VOLUNTEER ASSOCIATIONS, It does not from legislation, or Statutes, or police officers. or the courts, al- though each of these has its proper place and function, but all are given their vitality by the will of the people that things shall be run on a tair and humane basis. They are supported by these associations, formed of good men and! Women, who give their time, talents and | Money to thatend. All sorts of fieids are oc- eupied by these orgu’ ions, based on the best of motives, to help one another; there are religious associations, such as the Young Men's | Association, Masonic bodies and like societies, old people's homes, asylums for the dumb, the deaf, the blind, the in Wherever sorrow is seen the volunteer association comes to al-| leviate it as far as possible. There is a practi- cel side in all this, as well as a purely senti- mental one, and itis this that appeals most strongly to the people who are to be convinced of the need of such bodies. In the transports tion of our food, while it is in the form of li ing animals, there is a constant danger ta the health of us and our families, which may have its germination in the box car m which the | animal is transported from the far west to the butcher at some obseure station on a distant Failroad. The kinder we are to the animals the better they are, the better work they can | do. the cheaper that work is in its final cost, | and the less the burden upon the community. On this ground of economy civilization might | be detiued as the simple saving of little things | by bettering humanity ON THE SUBJECT OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN the speaker said he hardly knew what to say, for the arguments were so plain that they appealed directly to every true man’s heart without utterance. He thanked God that he had the good fortune to be born and to grow up in a region where he learned to love all ature and to feel that all nature was bis com- Pamion. He spoke of his father. a stern man at | tines, and one whom even men feared to| @pproach in some of his moods, but whose step in the barn yard was welcomed by every beast | and bird in it, because they knew that he loved them and fed them. He mentioned other me: of an earlier time, whom he could just remem ber, who lived in the days when their homes Were in danger of savage raids, who always had faithtu! friends to follow them around, friends Witleout the power of speech, but with hearts and with a sense of gratitude. We do not kn what connection there is between us and the lower orders. It is not revealed to us what mysterious power it is that brought all the beasts and birds and other creatures to Noah | and their salvation, but we do know that any | higher emotion in us that makes us feel for | body or anything reacts on us within our reasts to make us better. 4 CURIOUS THISA. “It is a curious thing,” Mr. Breckinridge | Went on to say, “that the Lord generally give the most money to those who need it the Toone man he gives « fortune and no children, while to another he gives a large family aud no Means. These two men should sombine the children with the means of edu- | tating them, so that the world may be made Ficher. A man of this sort, with lots of mone: endowed a scholarship in Harvard College, another, without the money, begat as ! took that scholarship and graduated a great Preacher. ‘The souls saved by the preacher | Were the joint product of the mau who gave bis son to the world and the man who gave the education to the son. BEPEESENTATIVE GREENHALGE REFERS TO THE SCENE IN THE HOUSE SATURDAY NIGHT. After another song by the choir the chair- Man introduced Representative Greenbalge of Massachusetts. where they have, he said, the best humane laws in the country. Mr. Green- halge put his audience into very good humor atonce by referring ina neat manner to the | stormy debate in the House of the might be- | fore. He asked, mentioning the eloquent speaker who had preceded him: “Where have Tveen him before? It seems to me that I have | seen him lately, but it was not at a meeting of dumb animals’ society. I wish to goodness that it had been. Lam better tonight than I was last might, and so Mr. Breckinridge is cor- rect in what he says about our progress. But | why do pc ns take any interest in humane Movements for the benefit of the dumb animal? | They have no votes and, asa rule, the talker | bpraks out of bis own district. “It seems to me | at there must be something behind the move- ment that appeals tothe heart of a man, or tise Lam very sure that my eloquent friend would uot be here.” FAIRY TALES. ‘The speaker made a pretty allusion to the in- fuence upom children of the fairy tales they eeud in the nursery, giving them tendencies of tenderness toward animal creatures that are iasting. He spoke of the tale about the young woman who befriended a frog until it grew up into « tine-looking green prince, and then she feit glad that she had been kind to the frog; and again of the young man who had cared for & pretty dove that had been hurt, and finally it Wes found to be a beautiful daughter of a king, and there were wedding bells heard in that vi- timity very soon after. And so the literature the nursery has a direct and good influence in stimulating a desire on the part of the little ones to do acts of kindness to all lowly crea- tures. It is an illustration of the truth that there isa deep meaning in almost all mythology. There is A PRINCIPLE OF SUPREME SELFISHNESS sunning through and guiding and controling veloping come w | vin issues to | who | of the | Cam | perjurer. the human heart in whatever it does for th animals, and it is often wise to appeal to this Sentiment in order to awaken an interest in the good work. If you can convince the owner of a horse that he is depreciating his property by beating it mercilessly he will stop it. ‘There is business in it, and he also may be made to see the convenience that may be found by the proper management of his animals and the economy of whips and time by the proper treatment of his beasts. In the case of men of refinement one must appeal to a selfish senti- ment of a higher kind. There is often some very unwise zeal shown in the prosecution of cases by the lovers of the dumb animals that brings discredit on the cause, but this seems to be going out of fashion, It would have been arather odd thing for some old lady with a regard for the poor horse to have rushed out protesting upon the road that night when Paul Revere rede like the wind to give bis famous warning, but some humane man might well have stopped the fellow who, we are told, dashed at a thunderous pace, once upon @ time, “to bring the good news to Ghent.’ WHAT Is TO BE DONE is first to create a public sentiment in favor of the movement and then to convince the busi- | ness men of the community that the members of the organization are here, there and every- where. Turning to the chairman the speaker said: “The crack of the whip is heard too fre- quently here, Mr. Commissioner, Do not lay too much blame on the colored drivers, The | most magnificent exotic in the way of human botany I ever saw was an imported coachman the other day on the avenue, and the way he used his whip would have made any ordinary colored coachman turn pale with "Cone cerning the children, the whole sentiment was expressed by one of the brightest thinkers of this century, who said that heaven lies about us in our infancy,” and the man who can throw a little heaven into the early lives of some child has done all that he need to do to get into the real place in the hereafter. Mk. KENNEDY ON RAT KILLING. Mr. Greenhalge was followed by Mr. Gram- mond Kennedy, whom the chairman introduced 4s a Scotchman and a member of the bar. He spoke earnestly of the practical side of the movement and painted several glowing word pictures illustrative of the almost human in- stinets of animals. Apropos of what has re- tly been said in the local press about rat | killing. he said that he thought the practice of slaying the pests in the streets should be stopped, not so much on account of the rats as hildren who might happen to see the act. There is. he said, a brutish instinct in almost every human breast to see the shedding of blood, to witness the death of a brute, and itis out of danger from the development of that tendency that the practice should be stopped and all rat killing done privately. Acollection was taken up. which resulted in the contribution of a generous amount toward the needs of the society and the audience was then dismissed. ——— CENSURED BY THE HOUSE. Mr. Bynum Said, However, That He Considered It a Decoration of Honor. One of the wildest scenes of the session oc- curred in the House late Saturday afternoon, the uproar lasting until late at night. Mr. Bayne of Pennsylvania read a letter from Jus, Campbeil, president of the Glass Worker's Ag- sociation, in which an attack was made | Representatives Bynum of Indiana and Wilson of West Virginia, the implication being con- tained in the wording of the letter that they were not men of houor. Mr. Springer pro- | tested against such a letter going into the Record and Mr, Wheeler made a point of order against it, The chairman overruled the point of order, stating that the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Bayne) was responsible for the letter. MR, BYNUM RULED OUT. Mr. Bynum then claimed the floor on a ques- tion of persona! privil The chair held that there was no such question presented. There- upon there was an uproar. Mr. Bynum en- deavored to proceed, but he was shouted down by the republican side. Mr. Bayne added to the confasion by ex- claiming at the top of his voice that a gentle- man for whom he had the highest respect had been charged with forgery aud he wanted to present the letter in his defense, Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky sh the chairman that it was not fair t man who had been publi a ed and let the man speak who had made himself sponsor of the slanderer and stood in the shoes of the slanderer. Amid intense confusion, excitement, laugh- ter and shouts of “louder,” Mr. Bayne was | heard to deciare that bell was the equal | in every respect of the member from Kentucky, and Mr. Breckinridge to assert that he had no doubt that the member from Pennsylvania took the man as his standard of manhood, Mr. Cannon (IL) said that the revenue bill was under consideration. “There is a slander un yelled Mr. Mills. Mr. Bynum complained that the chair had stopped him and allowed the gentleman from Pennsylvania to go on. The chair stated that he had not permitted the gentleman from Pennsylvania to proceed. The chair had done the best that he could to prevent the gentlemen from Pennsylvania and Kentucky from using the language they did. The chair had done wil he could, and was not responsible for the gentlemen proceeding out of ord der consideration,” nley thought that it was in the in- st of fair play to allow the gentleman from Indiana to proceed, no matter What the rules might be. MR. BYNUM ON THE FLOOR. After half an hour of uproar Mr. Bynum se- cured the floor amid comparative quiet and said that the Campbell affidavit was to the ef- fect that Mr. Wilson and he had said that month was enough for any glass blowe his district, where he was known, the had not been circulated, butit had been cir lated in Mr, Wilson’s district. He had te graphed to the West Virginia papers denownc- ing Campbell as a liar and perjurer. Since the sentleman from Pennsylvania constituted him- self the sewer through which this attack of bell made its way into the record—— Here Mr. Cheadie of Indiana made the point of order that the language was out of orde! ‘The chair thought that the word “sewer” in this connection was hardly parliamentary Mr. bynum—I withdraw it, then, aud say “conduit pipe.” Since the gentleman from | Pennsylvania is the medium through which the | statement of Campbell found its way into the | Kecord; since the chair has said that the w: yal citizen who may feel aggrieved can get into the ord is by the indorsement of a member of the House, F have simply to say that I did the other day, knowing full well the meaning of the words and that Iwas responsible for them, denounce Mr. Campbell as a liar and a I want to say now that ain willing to believe that I have as great con- fidence in the character of Mr. ¢ ‘ampbell as I have in the character of the gentleman who makes this attack upou me. At this point the excitement and uproar be- came so great that nothing could be heard. In an interval of comparative quiet Mr. Cutcheon demauded that the words be taken down, Mr. Morgan (Ala. ) stood in front of the chairman's desk and wildly appealed that both the letter and the speech be stricken from the record. He was afraid that Mr. Bynum and Mr. Bayne would meet in personal conflict outside the House. THE WORDS TAKEN DowN. The words were taken down and a resolution censuring Mr. Bynum was offered. After sev- eral hours of excitement, during which the democrats defended Bynum and denounced the action of the majority and republicans did their share of denouncing, the resolution was adopted. CENSURED BY THE SPEAKER. Mr. Bynum was marched up to the Speaker's desk to receive the reprimand, and all the democrats accompanied him. He said he re- ceived the censure as a decoraticn of honor, During the discussion that preceded the cen- sure some republicans said that Bynum de- served censure for his denunciation of Speaker Reed during the rules discussion earlier in the session. Democrats retorted that it was for that the majority were now passing censure, They Didn’t Cure Him. At Denver, Col, J. H. Vincent, mining | broker, died Friday after sensational ex- Periences with Christian scientists, of which sect his wife is a member. While suffering from Bright's disease two months ago Vincent was attended by two leading physi cians, who pronounced his disease in- curable, Then Mrs. Vincent drove them out of the house and forbade their re- turn. ‘The mvalid’s mother even was forced out of her lodgings in the same house because she protested.” Every evening prayers were recited, and despite the sufferings of the pa- tient uo medicine was administered. When the Humaue Society demanded admission the sick man was propped against a window and forced to say that Le was being treated all right. ae At Helena, Mont., E. F. Crosby, a prominent Young society mau, shot himself through the eart. He was well connected in New York and his wife is a daughter of Bishop Brewer of Montana, ; Mrs. Charles McGlade and Mrs. A. OUR MARYLAND NEIGHBORS. Continued Activity in Real Estate—Out- ing of Washington Wheelmen, Etc. Correspondence of Tar Evewrvo Stan. Rockvitte, Mp., May 18. The real estate boom in this vicinity still flourishes, Francis R. Fava, jr., & Co., are surveying the farm of John H. Bogley, contain- ing forty-three acres and lying east of the depot at this place, for a Washington syndicate, and will soon have the lots ready for the market. ‘The same parties are also surveying the farm of Mr. Henry Renshaw, of seventy-five acres, between Halpine and Randolph on the Metro- politan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road, for another Washington firm. Messrs. W. ‘T. Robertson, Mortimer Redman, E. Bowan and F. P. Libby of the Arlington, wheelmen of Washington, who came by way of the 7th-street pike to Norbeck, thence across the country to this place, were enter- tained at the Montgomery House here and left for their homes this evening by way of Cabin John bridge and the Conduit road. Today the Washington train brought quite a crowd of strangers seeking land in this locai- ity and also on the outlook for board for the summer. Acontest took place Thursday between the Sandy Spring and National Kifle associations near Rock creek, two and a half miles from this place, which resulted in favor of the Sandy Spring club, The visiting clab was handsomely entertained by their friends. The contest will be repeated on the 30th instant at Analostan Island opposite Georgetown. SA} MR. CARLISLE ELECTED SENATOR The Ex-Speaker Promoted by His Ken- tucky Constituents. ‘The joint session of the Kentucky legislature Saturday to ballot for a United States Senator was characterized by more dignity than on the preceding days of the week. The lobbies were full of ladies to witness the proceedings and Mr. Carlisle occupied @ seat upon the floor. Judge Lindsay marched in with the senators to cast his ballot for his successful competitor. | Lieut. Gov. Bryan arose from a sick bed to preside over the assembly. At 12 o'clock the | senate was announced in due form by Ser-| geant-at-Arms Castle. The reading of the journal was dispensed with, and acall of the roll was ordered to note the presence of the members. The call showed 118 members pres- ent. Senator Lindsay placed John G. Carlisle in nomination in a brief speech of admirable | taste. in which he paid a graceful tribute to | the choice of the democratic caucus, Mr. Langley, tor the republican caucus, nominated Silas Adams, the representative from Casey county. The ballot then proceeded, 107 votes being cast for Carlisle and 15 for Adams. ‘The lieutenant governor announced the result and the joint assembly dissolved at 12:30, es a GIVES UP, The Comedian Will Not Contest His Wife’s Suit for Divorce. FRITZ EMM Fritz Emmet is no longer a resident of Al- bany, having shaken the dust of the capital city from his feet. A short time ago his wife, anor E. Emmet, embraced the Catholic faith. A few days later she directed her at- torney to bring action for divorce against Mr. Emmet. The charge is that of infidelity. ‘To this Mr. Emmet has directed his lawyer to make no defense and this will allow the wife to secure the desired relief. For «long time Mr. and Mrs. Emmet lived apart. Then by the intervention of friends, about ten years ago, they were brought together again. r. Emmet intends’ to sail for Ireland next week, in company with his son and un old and faithful servant, Robert McCann. Before leav- ing this city Mr, Emmet turned over to his wife the elegant residence he built on the Boulevard, which is surrounded by twelve acres of picturesquely laid out grounds, and $150,000 in bonds, THE | ae aes SEARCH FOR COTTRELL The United States Officers Backed by Men From a Revenue Cutter. Very diligent search is being made by United States deputy marshals, backed or aided by officers of the cutter McLane, for Mayor Cot- trell of Cedar Keys, Fla. Saturday Deputy Marshal Lestrange, with a detachment of officers and men from the cutter, went over to Atsenia Otil and searched several residences in thattown, Failing to find the object of their search the same proceeding followed in Cedar Keys. A party headed by a deputy and two officers, and having a force of fifteen men, fully armed and in uniform, landed trom the cutter and proceeded through the town to the residence of J. L. Cottreil, which they searched thor- oughly and then’ proceeded to the cemetery and woods lying beyond town; thence they crossed to the island of Piney Point and re- turned to Cedar Keys andthe cutter. No news can be gleaned from them, ‘They went as they came. soo ‘G SILVER IN HUNT JERSEY. Excitement Over Alleged Rich Deposits in Atlantic County. The citizens of Atlantic county, N. J., are greatly excited over the discovery of what is supposed to bea valuable silver mine. The mine is located about three miles above Pleasantville on the line of the Reading rail- road. The land was recently purchased by idle of Atlantic City, who are greatly encouraged with the progress made and have great hopes of ul- timately striking rich deposits of silver. Ex- perts who have assayed samples have pro- nounced it to contain sufficient quantities of silver ore to pay working the claim. A shaft has been sunk about twenty-cight feet with gratifying results, About twenty-tive years ago this same land was staked out as a silver mine and at one time James Carman, who was then its owner, was offered $10,000 to tell where the spot was from which he secured the specimens he exhibited to experts, The offer was refused, and his sons, John and George, are now en- aged in working the land with the new owners, he result of the present investigations are be- ing eagerly watched by capitalists of Atlantic City and elsewhere, who ure willing to take stock in the enterprise if the quartz pans out in paying quantities, soe MINE DISASTER. Large Crowds Attend the Funerals of the Victims. THE ASHLEY The dawning of Sunday in Ashley, Pa., was bright and cheerful and not a single incident | served tomar the day. Almost with the dawn | came crowds of curious people from all parts of the county. The streets throughout the | town were lined with carriages and pedestrians | and every passenger train that entered the bor- ough carried cars full of people to add to the throng. About o'clock the crowd was at its height in point of numbers and within a circle bounded by the Ashley cemetery the fatal pit and the borough itself there must have been 10,000 people. Every available space was occupied in the cemetery and the road leading to it was crowded with vehicles of all kinds, A little after 2 the funeral arrangements were completed and the last sad oftices were performed over the dead, At that hour the following victims were buried: Joshua Williams, John 8S. Willams, Elias D, Willian Henry W. Jones, William Edwards, Richar Henry Parry, Owen Parry, ‘Thomas D. Clars and Th 8 Davis. Brief services were held at each of the houses. The funeral of Daniel Sullivan was conducted separately and interment was at the Catholic cemetery in Hanover. The remains of Fire Boss John H. Allen were taken to Piy- mouth for interment in Shupp’s cemetery, An- other victim’s funeral is to take place today und then the curtain will have been lowered upon another terrible calamity, ‘The burgess of Ashley has issued an appeal for aid from the charitable public for the tam- ilies of the miners killed in the disaster, He solicits contributions of food, clothing and | money, which may be sent to K. Thomas, bur- gess; Martin Dooley, president of the borongh council, or E. Lindermuth, treasurer, at Ash- ley, Luzerne county, Pa. ————-se0e. Mrs. Langtry to Return in August. Hearing from a private source that Mra, Langtry intended quitting London in a fort- night for New York and California, notwith- standing that her season at the St.James Thea- ter was for an indefinite time, a reporter called on her yesterday in London and found her at supper with a jolly party.

In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures siven below, which are compiled from the *worn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average the year 18th of J; ly circulation of the paper during 889, published im Tux Sram on the uary, 1890, Briefly/stated, the points upon which the above ake is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circa- lation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2 The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily | papers published in the city added to- | gether!! 3. Whe Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, in proportion to reading and purchas- population, than any other news paper in the world!!! 4, The Star bas the largest regular and permanent home circulation of ny two-cent afternooa paper in the United States !11! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: ‘WAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-S7T-SS-8Q, ISS3. INS6. ISS7.

Of this number, 1,142 were delivered daily by regular | carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. | ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end | bynewsboys. But of this latter number a very | large proportion is supplied regularly to per- | Manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tuk Stan a distinctive and enviable | position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which |it is relied upon by members of the | household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are | the marked characteristics of the paper, |to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It isa well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek aud know where to find THE LARGEST RETUENS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tux Sran’s advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate thy esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand | for it—day by day, week by week, month by | month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- | verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The | figures following tell the story on this poimt: | NUMBER OF NEW al USS5-8G-87-S8-8H ERTISEMANTS ¢RINTED Et 1885. ISS6. INS7. ISSS ISSO.

The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied ia 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise: ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 column for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns ig the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof1444columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax eales, poll lists, election returns, ete., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included in ite patrom age. In conclusion, itis only necessary to say that in proportion to the extent and high character ©f its circulation, Tax Sran’s advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereia made can be abundantly verified) THE CIR- CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 43 INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION.
