ies THE EVENING A Substitute for Tea and Coffee. UNLIXE TRa @ COFFER~ @00D FOR THE NERVES. The claims of cocoa as a useful article of diet are stead- ily winning recognition. Un- like tea and coffee, it is not only a stimulant but a nour- isher; and it has the great ad- vantage of leaving no narcotic effects. Hence it is adapted VanHouten’s Cocoa “BEST&GOES FARTHEST” to general use. The strong may take it with pleasure, and the weak with impunity.

He qua sages from the report and said: ‘We felt con. fident that the assurances of Mr. Gladstone and his ae would not be long delayed even if no farther ing was addressed to them.

All arrangements for the occasion, as well as their execution, were under one man, Major Wm. P.

Over forty tables, each with covers for eight, filled the fmmense hall and overflowed into the adjoining room, and yet grerybody was well and promptly served with the good things prepared. e menu card, by the way, was a model of taste. On the covers, in each of the four corners, were war es in _water-color effects—a cavulryman mounting his charger, agunuer loading the cannon, the monitor at sea and a soldier tiring from the ramparts, while in the center was the Loyal Legionemblem in gold and black, suspended by ite bit of red, white and blue ribbon. The menu page inside wan decorated with a camp acene at night, with a striking figure of a bugler in the f¢ und. e remainder of the program included the evening's tousts and the names of the officers of the District commandery. ‘THE HONORED GUESTS. The honored guests of the commandery were Vice President Morton, Secretary Noble, Justice Brewer, Senators Frye, Aldrich, Warren and Wolcott, Representative Dolliver and the Mexicun and Bracilian ‘ministers, while scat- tered throughout the banqueting hall were a large number of individual guests of the mem- bers of the commandery, which included many prominent officials and business men of Washington. While the ment was being die- cussed the Marine band played aj music, enlivened by occasional songs’ by the quartet of the commandery, Messrs. Tnippte Pearson, McFarland and Lap- ham, with Mr. Jecko as ac Senator ry and in opening the literary exercises of the evening he spoke the object and success of the order, which now maniery, eae includes 590. good a tree . whicl an men and soldiers. He alluded in « feeling provisions with reference to land and police which Mr. Gladstone and his coll it as their duty to insert in the home rnle bil and treat ax essential provisions.

Regarding the police. we keep in view the statement made by Mr. Glad- stone, in introducing the bill in 1886, that he And his colleagues had no desire to exempt the police in their final form from the ultimate con- ol of the Irish legislature. In our opinion the complete organization of the civil force by the Irish government to replace the armed police ought uot to require more than five years, during which the present police would ‘The Effort of the Workingmen's Committee to Secure Its Passage. At the mass meeting of workingmen which was held in this city some days ago to urge the passage of the eight-hour law a committee com- posed of Messrs. Paul T. Bowen, Dennis Ferry, M. M. Cuinningham, Max Georgii and Stephen tion with the District Assembly and the Feder- ation committees to secure, if possible, the Passage of this law. Since this occurred the members of the com- mittee have appeared time and time again be- fore the lubor committees of both houses. Ata recent meeting of the committees Mr. E. W. Oyster, the chairman of the Federation commit- tee, was directed to draft a suitable letter in support of the eight-hour law, to be sent to each Senator. At the meeting of the Federa- tion last Tuesday night the letter was approved, and having also received the concurrence of the District Assembly it was ordered that a copy be sent to each Senator of the United States and the Vice President. The letter says: “I have been directed by the Federation of Labor unions and District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, representing between twenty-five and thirty arganized trades, to call Your attention to the fact that there is now mding before the Senate a Bill—(H. R., 9791) nstituting eight hours a day's work,’ &c.— in which they feel a deep personal interest and which they sincerely trust will be enacted into Jaw during the present Congress. ‘The original law fixing eight hours asa day's work passed the House of Representatives on January 6, 1868, by a practically unanimous vote aud the Senate five months later by more than a two-thirds majority. Notwithstanding these facts this law, for the enforcement of which, in accord- ance with its true spirit and intent, the work- ingmen of the country have been contending for more than nae & years has, in the lan- guxge of the honorable chairman of the com- is | mittee on education and labor, ‘been delib- propriate | erately and persistently and wickedly violated war | by executive officers almost from the begin- “Sich action on the part of hostile executive officers, who seem to imagine that it is their duty to ignore, evade and violate the law in- stead of to enforce it, and the fact that it has, ae workingmen believe, been misconstrued by {he courts and law officers of the government, has made it necessary to a} to Congress for additional legislation. It is believed that the disappear.” The meeting passed resolutions of regret at the failure of the negotiation. was approved, to the effect that “we desire to record our appreciation of the part borne by our chairman and by Mr. Thomas Sexton in the anxious and difficult negotiations for a reunion of the rupture which neither they nor we are responsible for.” It was also decided to convene the national committee immediately at Dublin in order to deal with the situation. NEWSPAPER COMMENT ON THE SITUATION. The St. James Garette, referring to the rup- ture in the negotiations which have been going on among the members of the Irish parlinmen- tary party, says: “The mischief done to the separatist cause is irreparable. There are now two national parties and there may be six in six months from now. Mr. Morley on @onday ext will speak on behalf of a group of angry, Jealous factions, more intent upon destroying each other than Mr. Balfour. In the meantime Mr. Balfour has an opportunity to restore social order and prosperity in Ireland.” The Pall Mall Gazette gays it was mistaken in a oe Mesers. Dillon and O’Brien, would “repair the mischief” by supporting the Me- Carthyites, adding that “they have certainly not declared for Ireland, and are only half- hearted for Parnell.” The Gazette doubts, however, whether Mr. O'Brien was ever against Mr. Parnell.

The Evening Star is the Oldest and most firmly estab- lished newspaper published in the District of Columbia, having won the high position it holds in the confi- dence of the people of Washington by forty years of faithful and unswerving devotion to their interests, without regard to any other influence or com- sideration whatsoever. Tue Star is the Largest paper published in Washington, with a general equipment and printing facil: ities three-fold greater and better than Tiose of any other Washington paper; and, having the full Day Reports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supple- mented by an unequaled service of Exclusive Special Dispatches from al. prominent points in America and Europe, it prints more and fresher Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly sup- ply, furnishing at the same time a gveater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Intelli- gence, and a lurger quantity aad higher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscellany than any papet in the District. ,Being delivered at the homes of regular subscribers for the trifling - | sum of ten cents per week, THE STAR Chatte- | is much the Cheapest paper published «, |in the District, quantity and quality of contents heing considered. ‘Tue Srar’s circulation in the City of Washington is more than three times larger than that of any other newspaper, and the number of its readers more than five times as many.
