Since that time the local organization has grown, until now there are fifteen lodges in the District, with a | total active membership of over 1,000. Besides there there are two grand lodges, a senior anda | junior, made up of delegates from the various lodges. Last night great meeting was held at Con- gregational Chureb to celebrate the quarto- centennial of the local organization. Half-past Twas the time set for the exercises to begin, but long before that hour the church began to | fill up until every seat on the floor and in the | galleries was filled. The front rows were re- served for children, a large number of whom were present, though a good many of them went sound asleep before the evening was over. | On the platform were seated the otticers of the | organization, the speakers of the evening and | representatives from the Woman's Christian | ‘Temperance Union, the order of Jonadabs, Rechabites, St. Matthew's Society and other | kindred organizations. Prof. Bischoff presided | at the organ. and the musie was one of the pleasantest features of the cxercises, which were begun by the singing of the hymn “Coro- nation.” Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. New- man. He asked a blessing upon the exercises of the evening and upon the order under whose: auspices the meeting was held, its members and officers, and prayed that they might all realize that there wes something higher and more worthy of their efforts than riches of an earthly nature. Wor You Br BOTH PLEASED AND INSTRUCTED TOO? — ‘THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Grand Templar Kalstrom presided and made the address of welcome. He referred at some Jength to the good work done by the organtya- tion in saving those who have fallen and in | keeping others from falling. Year by year the people of the land are more and more the ben- ¢fielaries of the order, and he hoped that it would ever be able to stand up and do its share of the good work. He paid a tribute of respect to the sister organizations and hoped that they would go hand in hand with the Templars in doing the good work of saving the citizens of the District to total abstinence and the District | itself to prohibition. He wax glad that there | was amember of the Right Wor hy Grand Lodge | resent to see the progress of the work since | Minnehaha Lodge was founded. and he bade each and every one present a hearty welcome n the name of the Grand Lodge and of each | individual Good Templar. and in order to em-| phasize the greeting called upon the vast as- semblage to sing the ode of welcome: Friends of temperance, weicome here; Cheerful are one hearts today's ‘Tell us, we would gladly Lear, ‘How our cause speeds on its way.

No. we rushed forward and extinquished the flames ourselves; yet there could not be a more fervent prayer than “God, help me,” that rose to my lips as we did what we could. Fram my earliest childhood it has been drummed into my ear that 8 woman's uty was to look out for the babies. Yet we have not understood the first principles of tak- ing care of them beyond merely wishing and dressing them and caring for them in thas way, as though there were no outside world for them tomcet some day. The object of the Good ‘Templars is to go farther than this, so that now we ure doing what we can to purify the world for our children both outside and inside the home and to make such men of our boys that God may revere them and men honor them. Some day they will meet temptation. The sa- loon is ever ready to rob them of their man- | hood. As long as women are silent the saloon will ‘stand upon the corner to ruin our young men and the distillery and the brewery will oceapy the high places to pour down their streams of liquid fire to burn out the hearts of our women. The liquor traftic cannot exist unless it thrive npon the heart of woman. God pity the drankard’s wife. God grant she may notbe your daughter: God grant she may not be mine. But she must be some one’s daughter. Oh, remember that!” Mrs. Keefer closed her address with a lengthy review of the history of temperance work in this country from the beginning. After the nging of the doxology, the exercises of the ‘ening were brought toa close by the bene- diction, which was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Newman. a THE BLODGETT CLAIM. ‘Trustee Johnson Wantsan Injunction Against Lorin Blodgett. Yesterday John J. Johnson, trustee, by Mesers. Shellabarger & Wilson, filed « bill in equity against Lorin Blodgett for an injunction to re- strain the defendant from interfering with the management of the estate, selling or attempt- ing to sell lots and for the cancellation of cer- tain deeds. Mr. Johnson is the present trustee for the Blodgett heirs, who claim the property in the Jamaica tract extending from Le Droit Park to 20th street northwest, having succeeded Robert Morrison, the heirs having, on June 10, 1887, conveyed their interest to him, und the defendant united with the other heirs in sign- ing the deed. He charges that defendant, not- withstanding, has attempted to convey, assum- ing to be the trnstee for the purpose of harane- ing complainant and to delay the execution of the trust. He states that on March 14 last he (Blodgett) atiempted to convey aquare 180 to | homus Shaw for a nominal consideration: 0 tober 29 aquare 156 to E. J.

On this subject the board says that during the last fiscal year there were somo 5,000 miles on twenty-five rivers lighted by about 1,600 port lights, at an average cost per year of $160 each, and that no other expendi- ture made by the government has given greater satisfaction than this, “It has revolutionized steambout navigation,” the report ays, “making it nearly as safe to run by night as by day.

The number of buoys, spindles and day beacons was decreased from 4,698 to 4,651, owing to a reduced uppropriation. ‘The board says that other appropriations for the support of the es- tablishment were found tobe inadequate, 19 that it was not possible to do under them’ all that was needed and that appropriations for hew works have been increased out of propor. tion to the appropriation for the maintenance of existing structures. ——— TO EXPLORE WEST AFRICA. An English Expedition That May Discover Resources of Great Value. Commander Cameron and Mr. James Bennett have left” England with a steam yacht of 160 tons and twenty-four men to explore, from a commercial point of view, the extensive area on the west coast of Africa which is under the administration of the British colonial office. The exploring. force is not a large one, but every man in it isa picked man and a special- ist. “Hitherto the European trader on the coast has been fairly satisfied to accopt what is brought to him in trade. Mr. Bennett, who is the leader of the expedi- tion, while Cameron is his chicf assistant, is an expert in rubbers, and it ix bis opinion that one result of the expedition will be the discovery of means to make India rubber from saps that have not hitherto been available. It is known, also, that in the country back of the Gulf of Guinea a good deal of gold exists, and some members of the party are prospectors and geol- who will look for the precious metal. y also think that asbestos, coal, silver and other valuable minerals may be found and the party will do its best to diseover them. ‘TO TEMPT TRE NATIVE ETE. The expedition takes* with it a number of show cases filled with articles that the Africans are supposed to desire. They will display to all populous villages of the interior the great ty of goods which white men are willing to bring to them, and in this way they will ne- certain what the natives best like to obtain. Everything that is at all likely to hit the native fancy will be exhibited in show cases. ‘This ex- hibition, which will cost a great deal of money, is supported by British merchants for the most part, though the colony of Lagos contributes a Portion of the cout. expedition will arrive on the coast at the close of the rainy season, and will remain there abont aix_ months. ‘The ship is fitted with modern scientific instru- ments and ull appliances for the collection of vegetable and mineral specimens.

At yesterday's meeting of the American Base Ball Association in Lonisville after Tar Sran’s report closed the following committees were appointed: Schedule co:mmittce, Toledo, Syracuse and Kochester; board of directors, Columbus, Louisville, Baltimore and Rochester; playing rules committee, Columbus, Syracase and Louisville; finance committee, President Phelps, Toledo and Rochester clubs; board of arbitration, Hon. A.W. Thurman of Columbus, Hon. Zach Phelps of Louisville, and Hon. John J. O'Neill of St. Louis. President Phelps insisted upon his resigna- tion and A. W. Thurman was clected president and William Barnie vice president. It was de- cided to hold the spring meeting of the asso- ciation in Baltimore in March. "The associa- tion then adjourned, subject to the president's call. Within two weeks, says a special to the Phile- delphia Press, there will be four vacancies in the association and their places will be filled by Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago. When the resolution was pasted empoweridg the conference committee to make up the cir- cuit for next season, that settled the Syracuee, Toledo and Kochester clubs. The represent} atives of these clubs, however, suspect nothing, and even when they were sclected to serve on the schedule committce they did not realize the fact that they were booked for a ride on the to- boggan. ‘They took it asa great compliment, for one of the old members in a brief address said that the new clubs should be put on some of the important committees. ‘The conference committee held a meeting after the association | adjourned and considered the application of the Weshington, Buffalo and Milwaukee clubs, but took no action.

A series of experiments have been conducted at Cologne by Dr. Prior with the Koch curative lymph Forty-five physicians attended theex- periments. In all the cases the symptoms fol- lowing the injections of the lymph were pro- cively similar to those described by Prof. Koch. Among the patients was @ woman suspected of being affected with a tubercular disease. The usual methods of diagnoxis had, however, failed to positively define the disease from which she #as suffering. She was treated with an injection of the lymph, which caused w violent reaction, thus’ proving beyond doubt the existence of tuberculos:s. AN RPIDEMIC OF INFLUENZA.

The Emperor of Austria is represented as deeply cast down by the probable fate of his relative, the Archduke John, the third great calamity during his reign in the Hapsburg family, his brother, Maximilian, having been shot in Mexico, and his son and heir, Rudolph, having committed suicide, The emperor went today to pray on the spot where Prince Ru- dolph died. RECONSTRUCTING SPAIN'S NAVY. Admiral Bernagor, the Spanish minister of marine, has applied for a large extra grant for naval purposes to carry out his plans for the reconstruction of the Spanish navy. He in- tends to substitute rapid steaming cruisers for costly, heavy-armored future cruisers, to have inimum’ speed of twenty knots under nat- ural draught. FOREIGN NEWS BRIEFS. The articles of association of the company acquiring the business of Baring Bros. & Co. were registered yesterday at Somerset House. Italy is inguiring as to the feasibility of establishing a penal colony in the vicinity of Massowah, Africa, to be inhabited by” all persons condemned in future to penal servi- tude, According to Madrid advices Senor Sagasta is meeting with great succes# in his campaign against the present government. ‘The con- stituencies in Barcelona and other industri centers are enthusiastic for the liberal canse. : The conference committee will have a meei- ing in about two weeks and then the circuit of the American Association for 1X91 will be made up as fo xt season in the west, Colum- | bue, Lonisville, St. Louis and Chicag ast, Lorton, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing: ton. ‘That is certainly the program and it will | be carried out.

How Troop A Will Spend a Portion of Thanksgiving Day. Troop A of the D.C.N.G., under the energetic command of Capt. Harry Barber, evidently don’t propose to be behind the procession in military excellence. Thanksgiving day the troop will turn out for a mounted drill. The exercises will take place in a big field just this side of Bladensburg on the Bladensburg road. The field is just opposite the Highlands. The troop will leave their armory on New York avenue at 11 o'clock and will be back in the city by 5 o'clock. The drill will be a most in- teresting one, as troop A has really reached a | high mark of proficiency. It will consist of company and platoon drill, skirmish drill, mounted, uring blank cartridges, saber drill, mounted, and charging as foragers by platoous and company. Many of the old members and honorary members of the troop are expected to mect the soldier boys at Bladensburg and the affair will partake largely of the character of a pienie party. See Saas Recaptured at Last. In 1878 handcuffed prisoner named Wil- liams jumped from a car window while on his way to the Montana penitentiary. The sheriff had other prisoners in charge and could only fire a shot at the fugitive. —A few days ago a human jawbone and bones of one forearm, with a rusty handcuff chain attached, were found at West Boulder, twenty miles from Liv- ingston. Investigation showed it to be the handcuffs of the escaped prisoner of twelve years befor Pine Mountains on Fire. Mountain fires have been burning in Tennes- see for the last two weeks, and Sunday night they surpassed anything in the memory of the oldest inhabitant.

Johnnie Gethins and the dog, the interesting patients at the hospital on Blackwell's Island, N.Y¥., whone bones have been spliced, grow more attached, both physically and morally, as the days go by. The soft tissue outside the bones has knitted and grown together. This can be seen without removing the plaster jacket. But the union of the bones is a slower matter. The surgeons, therefore, will give the rocess every chance; and, considering the ealthy condition of the pair, will not remove the coverings and make the more extensive in- spection for perhaps week to com New Arrangements for German Mail.

Congdon disappeared on the night of November 12 and was thought to have been murdered. He says that he wanted to marry Miss Daisy Curtis of Elkhart, but feared his mother and sister would object because she was poor and beneath him socially. So he planned with her to run away, leaving an impression that he had been murdered, then establish himself in Florida, get the young lady to reveal his whereabouta to his mother, thus Fecanciling hix people to the match, and’ then send for the girl and marry her. ‘The greatest excitement has prevailed in Elkhart and Bristol since his disappearance, and his mother has beon Iying at the point’ of death from grief. He will return with the detective to Indiana and will marry the girl. oe - __ “Lord McKenzie” in Limbo. Lord Hugh McKenzic of Inverness, Scotland, as he calls himself, or plain Richard Dick of Trinidad, as the police prefer to name him, is behind the bars of the Camden, N. J., county jail, charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses from Llewellyn Jackson, a Camden county merchant, and also for passing a worth- less check. It may be remembered that about a year agohe swindled several Washington hotels. The young man has been having a good time in the upper part of New Jerscy and in New York recently under the alias of a Scottish peer. He is about twenty-five years old and is a8 handsome as T. Linton Plucker, who about a year ago duped a number of Cam= den’s prominent citizens, assuming the title of Lord Harbury Harcourt of Harcourt, England. A strange coincidence in the keeping of these eople in the Camden jail is the fact that Mc- Kenzie, or Dick, occupies the identical cell as did Lord Harcourt.
