The formal closing meeting of the Arkuta Social Club took place yesterday at Metzerott’s country residence,seven miles from the city. The club accepted the invitation of Mr. Frank B. Metzerott and left the city early yesterday morning, arriving at their destination shortly before noon, where a luncheon was served on the veranda of the new residence. After a Jong ramble in the beautiful woods, during which several “group” _photo- graphs were taken, the party returned to the house, where they were feasted and entertained with music. The day's festivities closed with a regular country dance in a beau- tifully decorated and spacious barn. The party was driven to town, arriving home at midnight, ‘Those present were Mr. Frank B. Metzerott, Mr. John Metzerott. Miss Nettie Metzerott, Miss Maud and Blanche Lightfoot, Miss Lily Edmonston, Miss Addie Miller, Miss Lulu Donn, Miss Ethel Young, Miss Margarite Merillat, Miss Jessie and Lily Macarty.

A young man named Daniel Robinson was in the Police Court today for an alleged viola- tion of the humane law. It was charged that he took a nursing baby from his wife and kept it. The defendant's mother was in court with the child and the infant was returned to its mother. The case was thereupon dismissed. Robinson was subsequently arrested by De- tective Horne and locked up on a charge of stealing a case of wine from the Baltimore and Potomac depot. His aged pargnts were at police headquarters and when they left their son the mother kissed him good-by and gave him some change to purchase something to eat, telling him to “take care of himself.” He Was Driving Too Fast. Theodore Hawkins and another colored boy were in a buggy yesterday afternoon and Hawkins was driving around Dupont Circle at a dangerous rate of speed when Policeman Mc- Cabe arrested him and locked him up. This morning Judge Miller fined him 210 or thirty ays. spice ee Official Changes. W. A.

Some Features of the Lee Statue Unvell- ing Not Covered by the Press Reports. ‘There were numerous unique and interest- ing and nota few touching incidents at the celebration of the unveiling of the Lee statue in Bichmond Thureday. When Gen. Joseph E. Jobnston left the speakers’ stand and proceeded to the monu- ment where he pulled the cord that quickly loosened the fastening sbout the head of the statue and instantly revealed the horse and rider in all their bold relief and manificent proportions @ very affecting scene oo- curred. Miss Mildred Lee, who had listened te the oration and watched with in- tense interest the unveiling exercises, yielded to the emotions she could no longer suppress and burst into tears, The salvos of cannon and musketry and the sublime scene as wit- nessed from her elevated position on the stand but added to the tenderness of the moment and the intensit of her feeling. Old veterans, too, who rested on the green sward quietly and rever- ently ason some sacred occasion, wail for this final scene, were overcome with the tide of memory and were seen to weep. The procession did not form altogether in the order of the dates of secession, as has been announced, but following the South Caro- lina and North Carolina troops came the Vir- giniens, who were, perhaps, most intimately sawryges with the great commander they hon- ore Company G of the fourth Virginia cavalry, Wickham's brigade, carried a well-worn ‘flag of the free,” presented to the several years before the war by the ladies of Hanover, and which was with them when mus- tered into the confederate service. They then used the Virginia state flag till the confederate dag was afterward mene and now they carry the red, white and blue with all the enthusiasm of their early love. Those who had seen Gen. Lee in command of his army declared the statue a superb counter- feit of the confederate chieftain. Many inquiries were made as to why a piece of blue bunting was pinned to the canvas cover onthe east side of the statue, and it was learned that a military company placed st there that they might make a banner of it to preserve as a memento of the occasion. Among the pretty features of the day was the parade of fifty bicycle riders, their wheels filled in with red, white and blue bunting and the various flags of the Union and confederacy. Some carriages and especially advertising — Loved similarly decorated and made a gaudy if not always an imposing appearance. The William and Mary College boys had a banner dated 1693, when Virginia was a loyal colony of the Hanoverian prince, and the blue flag of Virginia, bearing the state seal and motto, were seen on all sides. A noticeable thing was that the Mississippi veterans carried no confederate fing, but were pleased to march beneath the ample folds of the stars and stripes. Some comment has been caused by the statue of Washington in the state capitol grounds holding in one hand a confederate state flag, but the flag, it seems, was not put there by or- der of the committee of arrangements, a num- ber of venturesome boys having climbed the statue in the early morning and placed it there. “Col.” Tarleton Alexander, over eighty years old, a colored confederate who served from alpha to omega of the rebellion and sur- rendered at Appomattox, was on the streets in the morning wearing numerous badges and souvenirs presented by the veteran contede- rates as decorations of honor. The third Georgia and tenth Virginia vet- erans bore tattered and smoke-begrimea battle flags, the latter body having a ballet-perforated canteen also fastened to its standard, while the Southern Society of New York, a fine-looking lot of men, carried the stars and stripes and were provided with patriotic music by Beck's Band of Philadelphia. Gen. Taylor of Kansas, who commanded an Oho brigade, was among the northern guests of the city and was so much pleased with his reception by his quondam enemies in arms, but latter-day friends about their camp fires, that he expressed his purpose to have the seed boys invited to the nextG.A.R, re- union in Kansas. The Maryland veterans when they met Long- strect were about to draw him through the city in his carriage, but as he, through modesty, protested against the proffered honor they finally acquiesced in his expressed desire. The newand active devotion to the Union everywhere exhibited was a marked feature of the occasion. ————_9>—_____- AT M’CLELLAN’S GRAVE, An Oration in Memory of the Dead Hero of Antietam. The grave of McClellan in Riverview Ceme- tery at Trenton was the scene of imposing cere- monies yesterday. The Hancock Veterans of Philadelphia, accompanied by the McClellan Memorial Association and the James Page Library Association, arrived after dinner and went direct to the grave of the dead hero, The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev, Mr. Dobbins. James R. Beech then read a poem. Rev. Mr. Gifford, pastor of the Second M. E. Church of Millville, delivered the oration of the day. —s DISTRICT GOVERN MENT. MUST GO TO CONGRESS. Last week the Commissioners received a let- ter from Messrs. George W. Stickney, E. Kurtz Johnson, Samuel Ross and others, Owners of a tract of land in Georgetown known as “Cooke iovers’ approval, y quested, Capt. Rossell, in his in- dorsement npon the papers, recommended that the matter be referred to the attorney of the District for an opinion as to whether the Com- missioners have the right to change the lines of the streets in Georgetown as the proposed subdivision contemplated, the por- tions of the streets now in existence to go back to the property owners and they to give in place of them other streets of greater area, The matter was referred to the attorney for the District, and Mr. 8, T. Thomas, assistant attorney, after examining the subject, re- ported adversely on the subdivision in view of the fact that it involves the closing of Park avenue, which, he says, cannot legally be done without the authority of an act of Congress and the owners of Cooke Park must go to Congress for relief. The Commissioners have approved the attorney's opinion, COMPLAINING OF THE POLES, The Commissioners today received a petition from the residents and property owners of — 433 protesting against the erection of telegraph or telephone poles on said square and praying that the Commissioners order the removal of the telephone pole just erected on sth street near C street southwest, which they claim is i direct violation of the faw. The engineer department will look into the matter. —— eee Foreign Notes of Interest. A real horned man has been discovered by Capt. Albornog on the Gran Chaco, in the Argentine Republic.
