Mrs. Ellen Foster's Appeal for Prohibition | Arranging for the Annual Dinner in East in the District. High license may satisfy to a certain extent the Commissioners of the District, but the tem- Perance women are heartily opposed to it and lose no opportunity to express their feelings on the subject. At the meeting at the Congrega- tional Church yesterday afternoon, held under the auspices of the Non-partisan W.C.T.U., Mrs. J. Ellen Foster delivered a lengthy ad- dress on the subject. The church was well filled and the greatest interest was shown in the exercises. District. them, each with the purpose liquor trafi BUH. Warner, who had been asked to «peak int.

And yet, no matter where Wwe come from or where we will be next year, we are here now and when we are called upon give an account of our actions in Washington in the year 1590; so the question becomes an all-important one. In Washington life ix be- inning to take on its usual winter activity. ‘Fhe social season is opening, not as the spring opens, with its glory of leaves and blossoms, but into « mad whirl of gayety aud the round of teas, receptions and entertainments.

If the men and women would unite to their in- fluence it might be felt within the halls of Con- gresa. MANY HOUSES WHERE NO WINE IS USED. “It is a matter of congratulation that there are so many houses in this city where wine is never used, and I am thankful for those house- holds in our little court circle where the wine cup never goex. Yet was I deeply grieved that wine should have been used at the recent state dinner given in honor of the representatives from a new republic by those of the older. Oh! that it might have Leen given as it would have been by any one of the majority of the mem- bers of the cabinet.” Mrs. Foster criticised at some length the two liquor bills at present before Congress. The one known as the “high license bill.” she said, involved « contradiction at the very beginning, for it called for a fee of $600, which is not a high license at all. “The good that may come from a high cense bill,” said Mrs. Foster, “does not arise out of the money it brings in, but from the prohibitory clauses that are contained in it. it makes no difference whether you impose a charge of $5 or =1,000. The evil that. ari from the liquor trattic is the same whether the license fee is high or low.

THF LAFAYETTE MONUMENT. Moving the Pedestal From the Old to the New Site. Transient public attention is being directed very generally just now to the southeast cor- ner of Lafayette Square, where a gang of work- ‘men is now engaged in filling a large hole with granite and cement on which to stand the monument erected to the memory of the man whose name is borne by the park. When it be- came known,through the annual report of Sec- retary Proctor, that the monument commission had finally selected this site, there was a little surprise on the part of the people who remem- bered that Senator Bate had been instrumental in spoiling the first plan of putting the monu- ment between Jackson and the White House, but now that the hole has been dug, the great elms razed, and the Senator has said that he has really no objections, there is a fecling that the site is a very good one. ‘The work of build- ing the pedestal will probably take another month, and it will be well along in 1891 before the monument is unveiled. * REMOVING THE OLD PEDESTAL. There is going on, in connection with the preparation of the new site, a very interesting and delicate piece of work that has attracted an unusual amount of notice. Thisis the dem- olition of the old pedestal that was erected in the center of the south side of the square and the transfer of the stones composing it, intact to the new site. The work on the first pedestal was well done. In fact, it is being discovered now that it wax all too well done. ‘The stones and the cement seem to have become eternally wedded, so hard has it been to separate them withont injuring the fine edges of the granite bloc! The work has been done with ex- treme care and, so far, with perfect success. A series of holes were drilled into the center bed of cement, which was then removed, and a der- rick was crected by the side of the pedestal, by means of which the stones are now bemg cautiously pried out of their beds and laid on the sidewalks, numbered, so that they can be replaced with accuracy. The new site is to be a diagonal one, the monument facing southeast. ‘This will throw it intoa strong relief when vieved from al- most any point on the three streets that corner north of the Treasury. The walk that extends diagonally through the park is to divide at the southeast corner and go on both sides of the nument. The new pedestal will be square, like the old one, and the walks will therefore Ve rectangular. — EVANGELICAL MINISTERS. Hundreds Expected st the Ecumenical Coun- cll to Convene Here Next October.
