OPall the English women’ who have “views” she is the ablest and most fearless. Yen years ago her ideas were so unpopular that the British nation stood up and howled. Clergymen preached and wrote against her, the law attacked her, the British matron rolled up her eyes to’ heaven and the mob, set on by these, cursed her and stopped only short of personal violence. And now she has lived it all down simply by standing by her colors and working for the good of mankind. She has served long and admirably asa member of the London school board, among other posts of trust and honor she has held. She has suffered as few women have and now the good time is coming for her.

Indy dents were invited to witness a rehearsal of the play of malion and Gala- tea,” to be given by Mr. Geoffrey Stein,assisted by Mise Ida Koff, May 12, and, notwithstanding the absence of costuming und stage accessories, it was an enjoyable affair. Stein's acting shows much improvement since his last appearance before a Washington public three years ago. He is only twenty-one now, but he plays with the ease and self-possession of a veteran. His rare command of the facial muscles has ample scope in the first act, where Galatea is endowed with life. The start he gives as Miss Roffs musical voice calls Pygmalion is specially natural, and as he draws the curtains back and sees the work of his own hands a living being the intensity of his feelings are all expressed without a spoken word. Wonder, rapture, fear, almost horror, struggle " together for mastery in the presence of this new mystery. He bas a splendid voice, too, rich. mellow, with clear, distinct enuncia- tion, soft and flexible. but with a penetrating quality that makes it heard. In personal ap- nce Stein has not been sliguted either. Trois of good height, well-kuit fori and grace- ful carriage and has a handsome and expressive face, fine eyes and # head of dark curling hair.

LIKUZ. PEARY'S PLANS. M18 TALK To & WASHINGTON AUDIENCE LasT NIGHT—SOME INTERRSTING POINTS ABOUT GREENLAND—A SMOOTH ROAD OF SNOW THAT traps fo THE yARTHEST NORTH. Lieut. Robert Peary, civil engineer of the navy, who is soon to traverse the ice fields of Greenland in an effort to reach the northern limit of that vague land, delivered = most in- toresting lecture last night at the Academy of Music before a large audience under the |auspices of the geographical society. His theme was “Greenland,” and, of course, bore directly upon his forthcoming journey on | the inland ice and his chances of succets, al- though it was illustrated with lantern slides sufiiciently to make it of a very general inter- est. The lecturer was introduced tq, the au- nce by Commodore Melville, the engineer- ief of the navy, whose experiences in the | frozen zone hate made his name familiar to | thousands. Mr. Melville spoke of the three | hundred years of effort have gone by | lin an attempt on the part of man to! reach the pole, and all” hae been, for | the benefit of mankind, that all might have | knowledge. He spoke of the difference be- tween the arctic explorer who, when he comes | home. exnibits himself and his sufferings for | gain and the one who, inspired by his lubors, | | shuns the gaze of the world until he has some- thing to tell of success wrought out amid the snow and ice. He touched upon the heroism | of men in these terrible latitudes, of the | utter abandonment of self and of noble at~ | tempts at rescue of fallen comrades, and, in response to the question that had been asked him so often, as to what wus the use of all this striving, he asked in turn: “Is there s better school for the heroic endeavors of youth than the Arctic ocean?” THE DISCOVERY OF GREENLAND. Lieut. Peary is a well-built, tall man of about thirty or thirty-five, a blonde, with a good, strong voice and the calm manner of a man im- bued with the persistence of conviction. | began by speaking of the innumerable details bought, and — then he went on to tell how Greenland bas a history, hav- ing been discovered 900. years ago by an Ice- landic traveler named Eric, who named the country “Greenland” because, in his judgment, this title would induce the people of his coun- try to emigrate there more rapidly than if it bad a more truthful, mavbe, but less attractive designation. In the fifteenth century, after the place had been populated by a thriving | race, it seemed to drop out of the sight of the | rest of the world, and for over a century was not | heard of. When it was rediscovered s century |later the entire population had disappeared, whether killed by natives or wiped out by « plague or what not, no one has ever been able to learn. ‘There are signs about the island— for island it must be—that lead one naturally to the question: Did the people of Asia, in former ages, migrate from Siberia to this hem- isphere by way of the pole, across the frozen fields of Greenland? TOPOGRAPHICAL FEATURES. The lecturer gave some interesting figures concerning the dimensions and features of Greenland, showing it to be rather larger than is ordinarily supposed. It is longer than the extreme width of the United States, from north to south. Its 750,000 square miles of surface make it to be about the size of Mexico or four times as large as the New England and middle states. It has population of about 10,000, including some 300 Euro- peans, mostly Danish. There are Six or eight vessels with native registers engaged in trading along the shores of the ixtand, The coast is, mountainous, deeply in- dented by fjords, which are bound by high cliffs and ragged projections, making the whole @ most uninviting shore for mariners. Various expeditions have shown conclusivel; that the interior of the country is covered witl ice, the ground being completely submerged by'a sea of frozen material varyin depth from nothing to fully a mile in places. Every topographical feature is entirely sub- merged. Greenland is a great mountain dam, holding back a sea of ice that is steadily flowing down toward the sea of unfrozen water, break- ing over the top in places and forming cata- racts of ice and stopping up in others into lakes. ‘MR. PEARY'S PLANS. Mr. Peary then told briefly of his trip into the interior in 1886, which furnished him with the material for the foundation of his present project. The northern limit, he went on to say, which is to be his goal, is probably not over 200;miles north of the last place where a stop i ‘The party will be small, ing of not more than six men, a chi jistant, a physician and two or three ot! The value of small , parties in arctic explorations, he said, has been thoroughly demonstrated, and the last stage of the journey will be taken by two men, the strongest and most resolute of the expedition. Provisions and equipments for two years'life in Greenland are now being selected and prepared, and the start from these shores will be made in a few weeks. ‘The path over which the party is to travel is the hard, dry snow that covers the vast frozen reservoir that forms the interior of Greenland, which to the mind of the lecturer is the perfection of roadway for foot travel. yall walking, nd all progress is to be done in this w: be done on Norwegian snow shoes or skiers, which vary from six to twelve feet in length and a few inches in width. i of the elements of luck which render so uncertain the average expedition in the frozen zone are in the present instance to be fully ¢liminated. There will be no danger from the sea, nor from the crush of ice, nor from the breaking of floes and the separation of the party. ‘The matter of practicability dwin- dies down to a mere matter of ghe progress that can be made. From fifteen to twenty miles aday is thought to bea fair average on a conservative estimate. ‘The aver- age of all previous records is 18.14 miles. The trip from Whale sound, the first starting point, to the estimated northern terminus of the island and return is thought to be about 1,028 statute miles, and this, at the rate of 18.14 miles a day, will take fifty-six days of steady travel. There is @ season dur- ing the arctic summer of about six months durmg which sledging may be successfully prosecuted, and this will be the time taken for the ‘The fury of the storm, which at times sweeps this great plateau, is the greatest drawback to success, but, in the opinion of the lecturer, there is no danger whatever. The exposure to cold, he thought, is a mere physi- 9 annoyance, not a danger. There are no reptiles, no vermin, no fierce animals to cause the sleeping hours to be filled with risk. ‘The brilliancy and life of the arctic summer are not to be surpassed. There is no greater distress among the people of this region than among the farmers of the Dakotas in the fierce winters of the plains. PRESENTED WITH A FLAG. At the conclusion of Mr. Peary’s remarks Mr. Gardiner Hubbard, president of the National Geographical Society, stepped to the front of the stage and presented him witha beautiful silk: tlag of the United States with the remark that it bad been placed in the hands of the society by a lady of Washington, Miss Ulrica Dahlgren, to be given to the explorer, with the re- quest that when he sets foot upon the farth- est north he plant there the banner of his country and then return it to the society. The adventurous man was visibly moved by the incident. He said that it was with mingled pleasure and hesitancy that he ecepted the fag: pleasure at the honor be- stowed and hesitancy when he thought of those | who have preceded him to the north and how far short his own efforts may He would say, however, that if it be possible for one who feels confident of the track which he has luid ont for himself to reach the northern limit of Greenland those colors would be the first to float over that lo lost point and to light the desolation there snow and ice. He then had the lights of the theater turned down and for fifteen or twenty minutes enter- tained his auditors by describing the pictures that were thrown upon the screen, illustrat of the frozen land and of the peoples an habits of life in Greenland. —_—_——_— Committed for the Grand Jury. ‘Wm.

The social world took a spell of new life during the past week, and the varions enter- tainments devised to encot and sustain it were quite up to the mark. The dinners and Tuncheons have been suficiently. numerous, and yet have left a wide margain for rest and liberty from social demands. Lady Paunce- fote’s dinner, followed by a dance, on Thursday night was the great meet of the week. The dinner was in honor of the Vice President and Mrs. Morton, but it also gave the company an opportunity ‘of meeting Gen. Sir John Hoss, C. B., and Herr Wufflen. The former wili be the 1 guest of other bun: juring his stay. Ex-Gov. and Mrs. Cari ive a din- ner in his honor on Tuesday, the 28th instant. During this month and at least half of May the presence here of the diplomatic corps, with ranks almost unbroken, and n great part of the families in resident society will be the stimulus to keep the social ball moving. During the fine sunny days of the present week the younge set indulged in a few impromptu woodland e: cursions, equestrian parties usually, and a ren- dezvous at the Country Club or somewhere ele within easy reach of the city. When the season is a little more settled the customary pleasures of the spring. picnicking in the woods, with tally-horidesand all the usualaceompaniments, need not lag for want of agreeable people to make up the purty. Lawn tennis will soon engage fashionable at tention, although building operations are apt | to seriously interfere with the locations of some of the best courts. Miss Coit will leave this evening for Cincin- nati, where she will visit her sister. She will be away about a month. ‘The Spanish legation now occupies the cor- ner house as well as its former house at the in- tersection of Massachusetts avenue and M streets. During the past week it has been fur- ished and arranged for occupancy, making this, legation as well equipped for the’ purposes of large entertainments as any of the other for- eign houses. Mrs. John Ward gave a ten yesterday afte - noon and a large company of her friends en- joyed her hospitality at her home on Connec- | ticut avenne. Mrs. Spinola expects to make her future res- idence in this city. Miss May Louise Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mra.Aleck Hamilton, and Mr. Littell Wilson of Richmond will be married at the residence of, the bride s parents, 211 E. street, on ‘Thursday next.

Donnelly of Philadelphia, accompanied by her sisters, the Misses Don- nelly, have been visiting here the past fort- night and are at the Holy Cross Academy. ‘They have received a great deal of attention from the literary contingent in society and their stay has been made delightful in many ways. Miss Katherine Merrick has just arrived home from Dresden, where she has spent the winter. She will be a bridesmaid upon the occasion of Miss Louise Merrick's marriage with Mr. G. E. Hamilton. The bride's other attendants will be Miss Josephine Merrick, Miss Hawks of New York and Miss Mildred ‘Carlisle. The couple will sail the day following their wedding for Europe and spend the summer in continental travel. An evening wedding at St. Matthew's is unusual and a dispensation is necessary. In this case it will give an opportunity to many of the professional friends of the lute Hon. Rich- ard Merrick to attend the first wedding in his family, which is a particularly happy event. Cards have been received here for the mar- riage of Mise Kate Granger, formerly of Wash- ington, and Mr. Alfred McGrath at the resi- dence of Mr. J. T. Granger, Lafayette Heights, Passaic, N. J., April 30. Ex-Secretary McCulloch closed his city house yesterday and went with his family out to his farm. He has been in good health iately and a familiar figure down town every day walking. He is so devoted to his country life that he wants to leave the city at the first poep the crocuses make above the earth. Mise Meculloch is as de- voted to outdoor life as her father,and being an accomplished rider, finds her enjoyment well provided for while in the country. Mrs. J. Thompson Swann will go to her home in Princeton early next month if the weather is pleasant. Sho is leaving this city # litte earlier than usual so as to attend a wedding in her family circle and various other events planned for the first weeks in May. ‘Miss M. E. Milburn has returned to the city, after an absence of some weeks. Prof. A. P. Montague of Columbian Univer- sity last evening read an interesting paper on “The Age of Trajan” before the Norwood Lit- erary Society. ‘There is no better Latin scholar in the city and the paper was listened to with great attention.

The belles and some of the beans, the ma- trons and many of the hosts whose recognition is worth a good deal in the social scale, made the Center Market this quite the gayest xs well as the busiest place in town. The fashionable marketers rarely commence to arrive until after 9 o'clock, but from 10 o'clock on today a might have supposed, notable entertainment was on, judging from the number of stylish surrounding the market house. If youjadged them from what society takes home ite bands, you might suppose that it was fed on flowers, and nothing else. A prom- enade up and down the aisles presented society weens in quite another light, as they went about selecting what they liked best from the quantities of substantials and dainties piled high on the stands. he cabinet families will be pretty well scat- tered during the coming summer. As many of them remained here during the most of Inst summer they feel the necessity for a change more than ever. Without exception. however, they nnanimously decide that Washingtou as a summer resort hus, advan which are not found even with the expenditure of much time d trouble and the deprivation of much that is agreeable here. likely to remain here during the absence of the President. They find the restfal life here at this season all that they need between their summer and winter travels. Mra. Morton was down south so long that she is giad to be home. Her mother, Mrs. Street, has spent nearly all the past winter and spring here, having apart- mente at the Shoreham. ‘The chances are that Mrs. Morton and her daughters will go to Europe later on in the season, as she is as amxious as ever to go to Carlsbad, where nearly every summer of late years she has taken @ course of treatment. Secretary Blaine and his family are looking forward to remaining here as late as possible, and when the weather grows too warm to go to Par Harbor for the rest of the summer. So large a contingent of fashionable society from here will summer there that it will be simply a transfer of this favored number to newer scenes. Mrs. Damrosch will most likely spend the summer with her parents. Mrs, and Miss Rusk are going home to Wis- consin for the summer, but will not leave here until the last of June. Mra. Wanamaker contemplates such frequent | journeyings to New York and Philadelphia dur- ing the four weeks previous to her departure for Europe that she has, therefore, discon- tinued her Wednesday afternoon receptions. Secretary and Mrs. Noble will take along summer rest,jf the former finds his public duties will permit.” Much of their vacation as they hve planned it will be spent in northwestern trav THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING. What is Expected to Be Accomplished Dur- ing This Season. A Srar reporter, who called this morning on Mr. Bernard Green, superintendent of con- struction of the new Congressional Library building, was informed that a story or a story and a half will be added to the outside wall this year. ‘The engine house will be built in the yard east of the main building, and the windows and doors of the completed’ tloor will be finished with cast iron trimmings. The construction of the building has gone on steadily and the outlook is for another year of uninterrupted advancement in the work. CURIOUS POLICE COURT SCENE, A Young Man Has His Fine Paid by Policeman. There was a sad and interesting scene wit- nesaed in the Police Court this morning when Judge Kimball refused a Mr. Watson time to pay his son’s fine in order to keep him from going to the work house along with hardened criminals. Clarence Watsonis asixteen-year-old boy, who has never given his parents any trouble, but works hard to assist his parents as much as pos- sible. Yesterday a colored watchman named Green, who works for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, chased several boys for jumping on the cars and arrested Watson, although the latter denied that he was with the boys who jumped on the cars. When the case was heard today it was a ques- tion of veracity between the watchman and the boy, and the judge held the boy guilty and im- da fine of €5. Then the boy's father ged for a smaller fine. “My wife has been sick most of the winter,” he said, ‘and [haven't fot the money. Tl pay the fine Monday if your jonor will give m2 until that time.” | Mr. Du- mont objected and the court refused'to grant the request. ‘The father broke down completely at the idea ot hie boy being sent to prison for so slight an offense. ‘The judge finally consented to have the boy held aé the police station until 8 o'clock this af- ternoon to give the father time to raise the money. “''ll pay the boy's ine,” suid Policeman Loftus ashe advanced to the clerk's desk. ‘Here's the money,” he added, handing over a new $5 note. ‘The boy was discharged. aa es ‘Musical and Literary Entertainment, The musical and literary entertainment given by Company D, third battalion, D.C.
