In the eveuing he preached at Garley Church to another overflowing con- ‘gregation. COLUMBIA ATHLETICS. An Enjoyable Program Which Was Wit- messed by the Indians. By far the most interesting of the regular fortnightly athletic exhibition of the Columbia Athletic Club took place last Satur- day evening in the gymnasium of the club house, and was witnessed by a large audience. ‘Through the courtesy of Mr. Frank Lewis, an old member of the club, now in the employ of the Indian department and in charge of the visiting Sioux, the latter were present and thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment, giving vent to their enthusiasm by repeated war whoops. The first event of the evening, an exhibition of fenee vaulting, was won by Sewell, who cleared the fence at 6 feet7 inches. Prof. Crossly followed with a daring performance on the flying trapeze. A catch-as-catch-can wrest ling match between Mitehell and Blovnt was hotly contested, Blount winning two falls out of the three. The Indians enjoyed this match hugely, as they did the pole-vaulting which fol- lowed and resulted in Beall's wh ats feet 6 inches. Then came a scientific exhibition of fencing between Prof. Heintz and Mr. McKay. ‘Next came the sparring. Robert Wade was refereeand J. E. Jones and John Ranier were j 8. The first bout was between Green the contestants stepped into the ring with their hands encased in huge gloves the indians opened their eyes in as- tonishment and grunted. It took some time fog the interpreters to explain to the indians use of the gloves. ‘The contest was hot from start to finish and when time was called at the beginning of the last round, owing to an injury Mr. Elder had received to his both men had scored thirty-six points and the judges declared the matel a draw. ‘The second sparring event, between Webb and Freyhoid, was also exciting, Webb winning easily by his superior knowiede of the use of the gloves. Some clever work was done by Messrs. Dashicl Crossly and Sewell on the horizontal bar, and these same gentiemen, with Mr. Quackenbush, gave a graceful and difficult performance on the flying rings, Mr ehiell’s daring gyrations being’ particularly _ noticeable. it was given out late in the evening that the event of most interest would be the sparring exhibition between Fred. Maguire and an unknown. ‘ihe greatese secrecy prevailed sto the identity of the unknown, and when ‘fommy O'Neill the club's trackwaster, in full fighting costume, with the flag of Erin around Waist, stepped to the mark at call ot time, a loud shout. ‘Tommy chased the ring, and when he gave up the ghost and laid my pursued the judges.

Miss Elizabeth C. Stoner, the president, occupied the chair and Mrs. Leonard acted as secretary. ‘The matter of the form the memorial shall take was freely dis- cussed, as some favor a hospital and some a monument. Subscriptions amounting to sev- eral hundred dollars have already been re- ceived. The following vice presidents were elected: Miss Magy Williams, government printing ofiice: MM Cugle resigned as vice president of Interior Department und was elected vice president of pension office; Miss Nellie Shedd, vice president of Interior De- partment, and Mrs. Morton, vice president of census department. : ‘The president of the association bas issued the folowing announcement: ‘The Gen. Spinner Memorial Association sends greeting to ail the women of the United States, and would announce: That, being desirous of honoring the memory of Gen. Francis E. Spinner, who, by his action iu introducing women into various grades of government service, paved the way lor their continued employment not only in government oftices, but in many other places of business, thereby enabling each one thus employed to rear carefully the children who should become the citizens of the state; the daughters to pro- tect the parents, brother, sister or dependent relatives; the friend to ‘care for the helpless, who would otherwise be left unaided, and all to suare iz some degree at least through depart- ments of art, science and literature, as well as in the practical duties of life, the benefits secured im woman's advancement. We have determined, through some public testimonial, to exhibit to the world our appreciation of Gen. Spinner s advanced thought und our gratitude for his importaat and far-reaching results. The form which this memorial shall assume is at present a subject of serious consideration, but the women of the United States may feel assured that in some appropriate manner it will represent thé grand idea therein souglit to be embodied. prea ehre Tle In Behalf of Working Girls. Mrs. Ada Leigh Lewis, who is well known on account of her work for the English and Amer- ican workiag girls in Paris, has given two par- Jor recitals recently to ladies interested in this work in Weshington. At the first recital, held at the home of Mrs. W. B. Gurley, 1401 16th strect, Mrs. Lewis impressed upon those pres- ent the opportunities in any large city for such work. At the solicitation of the managers of the Young Woman's Christian Home Mrs. Lewis talked in their pariors on Friday morning to an audience of young ladies and other friends of the work. eeeatggcicts A Fire in a Saloon. About 10:30 o'clock last nighta fire took place in house 1024 6th street southwest, at the cor- ner of L street, occupied by J. C. Knight asa saloon and owned by Mra. Foley. The dam. age to the house was about 31,200 and several hundred on the siock. an A Divorce Bill Dismissed. In the case of Wm. Miller against Emelin Miller, for a divorce, Judge Bradley on Satur- day dismissed the bill. The defendant was charged with keeping company with other men and she filed a demurrer that the charges were too general. ‘This was sustained with leave to amend, but it was not amended within the time specified. es A Sermon by # Sioux Indian, Rev. Luke C. Walker, a Sioux Indian and a regularly ordained priest of the P. Episcopal chureh, stationed at the Lower Brule agency, South Dakota, preached yesterday at St. John’s Church, Georgetown, toa large congregation, ineluding some six Indian chiefs. During his remarks he touched the subject of the recent Wounded Knee tight, for which he blamed. the government, in that the government had edu- cated (at the Carlisle, Pa., Indian sebool), bu subsequently neglected, the young government's treatment of these educated Indians to that of the porcupine, which leaves its young at the root of a tree to suck as best it may the sap therefrom, instead of teaching it to climb tree and get the persimmon for itself. He enjoined the im- portance of and strenuously advocated the govermmaent’s establi workshops at the several Indian agencies, where the educated Indians could learn a trade. ‘The speaker ap- arently unwittingly created a ripple of Couch reciting a conversation w! he had over! in a Philadelphia church: | “Hearing some ladies tal me, £ Was foolish enough to listen and try to hear what they were talking about. I heard one say to the other, ‘Do you sce those goods that woman has on?

On yeveral occasions Tae Stam has called the attention of the authorities to the death trap in South Washington known as the James Creek canal, but no steps in the way of im- provement have beeh taken, and yesterday an- other human life was taken in ite filthy water. This time the unfortunate was Christopher McGuire, an old soldier. He was found in the condition that others have been found and his death must have been | an unusually painful one. He was ina stand- ing position,(with both legs fast in the mud and his body slightly bent over. The deceased no doubt walked into the canal without being able to see where he was going. Probably the tide was high when he went in and he: drowned be- fore he could give an alarm and bring some one to aasist him. From the appearance of his body death must have taken within twenty-four hours. In his pockets were some tobacco, a pipe, #1.25and a cheap watch. McGuire was an inmate of Soldiers’ Home, but spent most of his time away from that in- stitution, He was last seen by some friends near the Baltissore and Potomac depot on his way to Sout Vashington. body was discovered by a man named Kidwell. Policemen Eser and Treadwell took the body from the water. It is not likely an inquest will be held. —»—_— THE HERDI TAX. Capt. Rossell Thinks It Should Be Increased— Commissioner Robert Does Not Agree. Capt. Rossel, who has the immediate charge of the streets of the city, recently wrote a long letter to the Engincer Commissioner relative to the use of the streets by the Herdic Company. The captain says in his letter that the herdic | lines using the streets are more destructive than any other class of vehicles, and pay but little tax to the District. He says | thet he understends that the Herdic | Company pays a tax of 13¢ per cent on their | capital and real estate, but that the value of the | real estate is first deducted from the capital. ‘Then they pay a licenss fee of $6 per year on | each two-horze vehicle, the whole of the license | fees amounting to from $600 to $600 a year. These herdics, the captain continues, are the rivals of the street car companies and are doing the same kind of business. Some of the rail- road companies, he points out, pay exactly the same personal ‘tax, and others pay in lien of sucha tax 4 per cent on their gross receipts. Tn addition they must pay for keeping the street between the outer rails in repair and for a width of two fect adjacent theretc. The destruction to the pavements by the Herdic Company is much in excess of the $500 or $600 they pay in lieu of keeping their tracks in repair, as the railroad companies are required to do, and he says, in conclusion, that it seems to hiv that this license tax should be largely increased. ‘The matter will be brought before the board for action at an early day. COMMISSIONER ROBERT'S VIEWS. In conversation with a Stan reporter upon the subject Col. Robert said that he was opposed to imposing any special tax upon the herdics. The ice wagons, he said. were just as much to blame for cutting up the streets as the herdics were, and he was in favor of regulations gov- cerning the size of tires for heavily loaded vehicles, the same as or in line with those at present in vogue in Paris. The trouble is, he said, just there. ‘The tires, being too narrow, cut into the asphalt and do the damage. pr theese ‘Want to Wind Up the Business. The Standard Sewing Machine Company, by Chapin Brown, has filed bill against 8. 8. Adams, assignee, et al., foran injunction to re- strain J. J. Hollister from interfering with the business, for an account by the assignee, for the sale of the property and the appointment of areceiver and wind up the business. The bill states that J. J. Hollister of 905 F ‘street northwest made anassignmentof his business— ing machines, faney goods and ratterns—on September 22 to Adams, and states that while he took possession of the property Hollister is in the immediate and actual sssion. complainant avers that Hollister and Adams are brothers-in-law and Adams is not, there- fore. free to act for the benefit of all the cred- itore. The Standard charge thet the assignee has received $500 and has distributed the same to some creditor or creditors other than com- iainant and has also received other monies, but made no account to them. They state that they have demaded an accom tt the goods have been removed to 922 9th street, and they state that it is for the interest of all that the goods be sold. sai gerne That New Book. Nearl¥ two tons of books arrived at the Mar- tyn College last Wednesday. ‘They comprise the first edition of Webster Edgerly's new book, “The Natural Reader.” Orders for this book have been received from nearly every school commissioner in the United States. Its advent and use in the schools will mark a new era in teaching the art of reading, an art that is more neglected than any ether in our com- mon school systems. But this book will prove highly valuable not only to young people at school, but will be especially important to Indies and gentlemen at home who desire to acquire the art of natural reading and to de- velop pleasant, flexible voices for use in con- versution. es ee Denth of Col. Hermann H. Voss. Col. Hermann H. Voss, an old resident of Washington, died at his residence, corner 22d and D streets northwest, Saturday evening after slong illness. He entered the Union army from the District as captain and commis sary of subsistence August, 1862,and was honor- ably mustered out October 31, 1865. He was breveted major a lieutenant colonel for faithful and meritor During the war he was st city as purchasing and distributing commissary and purchased the supplies for the various troops stationed luere und the army of the Potomac. He dis- bursed millions of government funds,and when his accounts were tnally settled it was found that not only every doliar had been property accounted for,but there was a balance due him. For some years he was market master of the Western market and during the late years of his life he was a clerk iz: the office of the com- missary general, U.S.A.

Tne An Imposing Canvas. The attractive feature at the art galleries of Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop at the present time is the colossal oil painting by Mr. Henry Sandham entitled “The March of Time.” ‘The title of the picture is likely to be a trifle mis- leading, for with it in mind visitors will hardly expect to see an assemblage of gallant Union off:cers marching in solid column through the elm-embowered streets of Boston. Yet that is what is represented. The idea is to portray in one group as many as possible of the men then living who won glory for themselves and Amer- ican history during the late war to save the Union. The task was a somewhat difficult on from an artist's point of view, on account ot the monotony of solid blue presented b; uniforms of the moving mass, but Mr. Sand- ham seems to have succeeded remarkably well in imparting action and variety of color to the scene, while the portraits are faithfal and @tri ing presentments of the originals. Washir tonians, to whom most of the personages rep- reseuted are familiar, are particularly interested in the picture, as is shown by the throngs of visitors constantly in front of it commenting on the scene and the memories it recalls. pits abate To Set the Forfeiture Aside. Inthe Criminal Court, Judge Hagner, the case of George W. Cooper, charged with re- ceiving stolen goods, was called to the attention of the court on Saturday. In this case the first bail, A. W. Shields, was forfeited in 1888 and new bail given and defendant on trial was ac- quitted. “The forfeiture of recognizance was neglected and the court subsequently passed an order for setting it aside on the payment of costs and the filing of an affidavit. Mr. I. Williamsoa presented the application and Judge Hagner directed that the forfeiture be set aside on complying with the order. oo Certificate of Incorporation Filed.
