Chureh iu Hilisdale Yesterday. Campbell A. M. E. Church of Nichols avenue, Hilledale, was dedicated yesterday. During the day three services were celebrated, the first at 11:30, the second at $ o'clock and the third at 7:30. Unusually well-attended Sunday school exercises were presided over in the early fore- noon by Superintendent Wm. H. Liverpool, and prior to the first service a love feast was enthusiastically observed under the super- vision of the pastor, Rev. Dr. F. Jesse Peck, jr. ‘The sanctuary was a floral bower and the pul- pit was handsomely decorated with flowers. The morning service was opened with prayer by Local Preacher Moses Brooks and the sing- ing of “God Moves in = Mysterious Way” by the regular choir of the church. Then followed the twenty-first Psalm, ‘The Lord is my shep- herd and I shail not want.” The sermon was delivered by Rev. D. G. Hill, pastor of Ebe- nezer Church of Georgetown, who chose for his text the seventeenth Psalm,’ “I shall bebold His face in righteousness. I shall be satisticd in this likeness.” The exercises were closed with prayer by Rev. Silas French of Ohio. A collection of $50 was taken up. ‘THE DEDICATION PROPER. At3 o'clock in the afternoon @ procession of distinguished colored clergymen filed down the south aisle from the vestibule to the pulpit and took seats behind a veritable rampart of palms, ferns and flowers. There were Kev. Dr. J. W. Beckett of Metropolitan 4. M.E. Church of Washington, Rev. Dr. Fitzhugh of Mount | Pisgah A. M. E. Church of Washington, Rev. 8. Jobnson of Allen A. M. E. Church of Garfield, Rev. D. G. Hill of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church wn, Rev. J. H. A. Johnson, : strict: Rev. L. M- ckett of New York, Rev. French of Ohio and Rev. Dr. Peck, pastor of Campbell Church. “Behold the Temple” was sung by he choir of Allen A. M. E. Church, Garfield. Pastor Peck explained that Bishop A. W. Wayman, who was to have preached the dedicatory ser- mon, was unable to fill his engagement owing to illness. Dr. Beckett of Metropolitan Church read the dedicatory service and preached from Psalms, exxii:l—“‘I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord. Dr. Beckett said: ‘This psaln seems to have been penned by David for the use of the peo- ple of Israel when they came up to Jerusalem to worship at the three solemn feasts, It was in David's time that Jerusalem was first chosen tobe the city where God would record His name. He bad frequented the sanctuary and | he knew some of. the joys occasioned by his dwelling in the courts of the Lord. In this statement we learn something of the character | of thé individual. We only know God, who is | pure.holy, just and good, as He manifests Lim-| self. Jesus says: “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,” and only when it does speak may we know.

Mr. Peck, the pastor arose, and at the solicitation of the members of his congregation invited Mr. Frederick Douglass, who was seated in a distant part of the house, to make a few re- marks. Mr. Douglass said he must decline to make a he did not wish to dis- turb in any way the impression made by Mr. Beckett. He wae, however, glad to be there and was happy to observe the evidence which that edifice afforded of the progress and pros- perity of the colored people of Hillsdale. The present church was a most gratifying contrast to the little school house on the hill, the place of meeting where he met them twenty years and he rejoiced to see the change. The tory service was concluded with prayer by Presiding Elder Johnson. —— THE COLD WAVE ARRIVES. It Made It Bad for Those Whe Hud to Be Out of Doors on Sunday. ‘The second installment of the winter's snow came aloug Saturday night, accompanied by a large, able-bodied cold wave, and today the overcoat market 18 decidedly bullish. The fore- taste of winter given yesterday was no gentle hint,but a positive declaration that the senson is on. The ground was well whitened when the gray light of Sunday morning broke over the city, and, as the day progressed, the cold became more and more intense, until by noon the thermometers grew ashamed of themselves and tried to shrink out of sight. ‘The streets were almost deserted and the churches were slimly attended. People who . and spent their spare moments look- ing up their heavy wraps, shaking the camphor bails from the wool, and calculating the chaneos of acontinuation of the cold weather. ‘The car drivers and conduetors suffered severely and the policemen exhibited a strong tendency to seek protected corners and doorways on the leeward side of the street. The lodgment of snow in the grooves of the new rails on the avenue caused a great deal of delay and trouble, and gave a warning of the difficulties that will be encountered when the snow comes thick and the sleet covers the asphalt between the tracks. | Mrs. Charies Dodge, Miss Emm been open, and never were they so crowded as | it i ‘storm was very severe on tho river und delayed tie traffic considerably.

The numerical strength of the lodge was in- creased by the initiation of two new members. The social session, proved very enjoyable and a veritable “surprise party,” in which every one present took part. The committee in charge reported that the public contest for the silver medal presented by Mr. Demorest of New York for the best rendered temperance recitation had proved in every way acon- spicuous success—the attendance having been large and each contestant having brought decided intent to support a determination tod> the very best. The exercises had been under the personal direction of Mr. A. H, Frear, and eight young ladies in the following order bad presented their forceful plens for temperance and prohibition: Ruth Gardner, “Boys of America;” Dolly Hughes, we the Boys; Grace | Mi day;” e ‘The Maxwell, Lula Frost, “The Rumseller's Legal Right famie Kaistrom, “In the Bushel or in the Jug.” an Caosie Bibles, “Two Fires.” In, appreciation of their work thelodge presented the fair ora- tors bouquets of flowers. The committee con- tulated the lodge upon having had the serv- Kees of Prof. Townechd, Mise Townsend. and Miss Sauter as judges, and these, after a care- fulcomputation of ail the points involved, found that Miss Gnrdner had attained the greatest percentage and Miss Martin the next highest. On bebalf of Mr. Demorest Mr. Van Vleck, the grand chief, presented to Miss Gard- ner the beautifui_medal, and on behalf of the lodge a volume of selected poems to Miss Mar- tin. In response to a general request the pro- gram Was agreeably augmented by a recitation of ascene trom “Romeo and Juliet” by Miss Townsend. ‘The literary exercises were inter- spersed with musical selections by the lodge choir, Mrs. Woodward, Mr. Johns and Mise Storm, and at the close of the entertainment light refreshments were served by the ladies of the lodge. —— ANACUSTIA. A BAPTIST DONATION DAY. Yesterday was donation day at the Anacostia Baptist Church. From an early hour donations began to materialize and by the preaching hour the platform was decorated with such things as do the body good. On the altar were bundles containing coffee, tex, sugar, candies, flour and appies from the town members and the farmers came up with beets, carrots, turnips and cabbage, which Sexton Milstead arranged prominently. Pastor McCullough declared that “these parcels, intended for the Aged Women’s Baptist Home of Washington. were far prettier as religious decorations than fine cloths and cushioned seats.” Dr. MeCullough preached from the text, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” At the evening serv- ice more bundles found their way to the altar sud today Dr. Leech wid take them to the ome.

To the Editor of The Even.ng Star: As the charities of the District are attracting a great deal of attention just nowa few remarks may not be amiss from one who has watched them with interest. After reading the able report of our new superintendent of charities I must confess to some little disappointment, as. like many others, I had hoped that there would be a more equal distribution of the aid received from the government. For a number of years a few charities have been receiving thousands of dollars, while others equally de- serving would get little or nothing. ‘Ihe mer bers of the congressional committees have f quently expressed their wishes to act fairly and wisely in the matter and treat all alike, and it was because it w: ible to do this that superintendent was appointed, yet we find the same churities receiving large’ amounts out of all proportion to what they raise themselves, and the others are ignored as before. It the argument that government aid is an injury is correct, why not apply it to all and let the rich and well-established charities receive the benefit which is said to come from its with- drawal? ‘They have succeeded. simply thro means of this aid, while others are carried on with difficulty and with a great deal of unpleasant work, and many have collapsed entirely. The suggestions in regard to the hospitals seem wise, but it is to be regretted that the industrial ‘charities are cut off on the ground that they are education: ‘Their importance is now very generally recog- nized, and ata meeting lately held at which these’ preventive charities were discussed it was stated that they bear the same relation to other charities that food does to medicine. ‘The Mission School of Cookery and the Chil dren's Aid Association have done a very large and important work. reaching children in their own homes and saving them from becoming inmates of homes and reformatories, aad I press the feelings of many of our citizeny in saying that it was « surprise and disappoint- ment that they were unabie to obtain anything With the peculiar relat hich exist between the United States government and the District it seems very proper that the government should bear its share in the expense of our charities and it has been suggested that there should bea fixed aud impartial arrangement by which all deserving charities shold be trouted alike and receive a regular sum. pro- portioned to the amount which they raise themselves. This would encourage the citize nine ed constant strain of anxiety and uncertainty as to means. ‘Crrzen. pes Raising Rainbow Trout. Favorable reports continue to reach the United States fish commission as to the result of planting yearling rainbow trout in streams of Missouri and Arkansas In a letter recently received by the United States commissioner of fisheries, Mr. G. S. Dickinson, secretary of the Rogers Electric Springs Fish Farm Com Rogers, Ark., states that in February last Fuinbow trout wore received ot agers by Prof. r 0 Silver Com from “the United ‘Stetes fab comission an were deposited in the stream. now average fourteen length. ies of “trout. te indigenous to the Pacific slope, but several years ugo it was transplanted in the waters of the central and eastern states, in many of which it has found vironment, and bids fair to become the most desirable variety of the gee ‘Wall Street. ‘The New York World this morning said that Edward M. Field, son of Cyrus W. Field and senior member of the firm of Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co., which failed last weex, was taken to the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum on Saturday. He leaves behind him disaster, confusion, the wreck of a business firm, ruined by his misdoings, and a blot on the 'scutcheon of an illustrious family. The innuendoes and accusations of Wall street are justified. The worst suspicions are mild compared with the biack facts. Edward M. Field not only rehypothecated railroad bonds placed with him as collateral, but be misappropriated large sums of money. Ho raised loans on worthless securities, deceived his partners and betrayed their implicit faith in him. The desperation which followed his wild speculations and methods of conducting His affairs seems to have divested Field of the last shred of honor. In his efforts to make the crooked straight he did not spare any one who reposed confidence in him. ‘lwo thousand dol- lars in pew rents, turned over to him as trustee of the Tarrytown Presbyterian Church, are missing. He was treasurer of the association which owns the Washington building, collected £35,000 in rents and sunk the money in his struggle to avert impending doom. A LONG NACE WITH THE FATES. Ficld ran a long race with the fates. It is no wonder that his intellect could not stand the strain. , A family conference was held Saturday aud yesterday at the home of Cyrus W.Field. ‘Those who took part init were Cyrus W. Field, bis brothers, David Dudley Field and Justice Stephen J. Field, George De Forest Lord, Cyrus W. Fieid’s counsel, anda representative af Drexel, Morgan & Co. ‘ihe conference was held to decide what course should be taken by 'yrus W. Field regarding Edward M. Field. he situation in brief was found to be this: Edward M. Field’s liabilities arising trom the peculiar conduct of his business, which is such 4s to give rise to intimations of detalcations and forgery, amount to millions. ‘To sutisty the claims of his creditors would require Cyrus W. Ficld’s entire fortune and consider- ably more. The question which the conference had to decide was whether Cyrus W. Field should sacrifice his entire fortune fortis pur pose. ‘The family honor was at stake. Fainily pride shrank from the prospect of the public disgrace of a field. It was urged that an untar- nished name should be saved from blemish. ‘The breath of scandal had already touched Edward M. Field's fair name. Could not all this be stopped and the last of a fortune be pledged for sweet honor’s sake? When the desperate situation had been fully discussed and viewed from all sides it was finally decided, in view of the fact shat even if Cyrus W. Field should sacritice his entire for- tune he would not be able to meet the liabili- ties of his won, that he sould not make the sacrifice. SAVED FROM ARREST BY ILLNESS. From facts ascertained yesterday by the Worid it is evident that the failure of Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co. is one of the biggest financial scandals and tangles and muddies in the history of Wall street. It is considered to bea parallel case to the famous Ives-Stayner failure. There are many plain evidences of fraud. So plain ure they that only his illness saved Edward M. Field’ from arrest. A war- rant, it is said, will be issued, and Inspector yrnes has had men watching’ the house, No. 125 East 21st street. | The World makes public s number of the | transactions of the firm of Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co., which show the magnitude of their questionable deslings. Some of these transactions are of recent occurrence and go to show that the mind of Edward M. Field must have been very clear ut that time. ‘The fuilure of Field & Co. is directly’ ‘aut'to the delay in the arrival of an oce aiiter, 'VA, big cs re the agént of the Cuban plant- ers had arrived on time. Nearly $1,000,000 of the securities had been subscribed for aud this would have given the firm plenty to getalongon Tor some time. ‘tT the Cuban planters would have realized by the deal is a matter of speculation, considering the way Field & Co. handled all their other trans- actions. 5. V. White hoodwinked by in the corn deal fraught with such disaster to Mr. White. The three firms were interested in | the deal aud Field had the brokers who handled the business for the pool turn over to him ail the proceeds of the cash corn sold. White never got any of thts money and Woersboeffer but littie. Anotker instance of the methods of Field & Co. is the case of Peter Cassidy, a well-known stock speculator. He purchased of the firm 1,500 shares of North American stock, for Which he paid them £30,000 in cash. Cassidy did not take up his stock, but left it with the firm. They forthwith peddled it out and real- | ized €30,000, which sum they used for their own ends. ‘The World's information as to the manner in which the firm carried on their business was obtained from interviews with a clerk who Was in the employ of the firm up to the last of August and from talks with Assignee,Gouild, ‘The firm was constantly short of fands.,, , ‘MR. FIELD USED THE FIRM'S CASH. All the ready cash was used by Mr. Field in his various enterprises. Certain transactions show that his partners, Wiechers and Lindley, were perfectly honest in all their dealings and had no idea of the financial aberrations of E. M. Field, On August 1 several friends of Mr. Wiechers deposited with the firm amounte ag- gregating 500,000. ‘This money was to remain at interest just as if it was in a savings bank. By October 1 the last dollar of it was gone— gobbled up by various wildcat dealings. ‘One of Mr. Wiechers’ friends who had de- posited $118,000 wished to withdraw his amount toon after it was deposited. He was in Euro then and cabled to Mr. Wiechers for mone;. This cable was intercepted, as were several other cables and letters making the same demand. Finally Wiechers got hold of a cable asking for the money and at once sat down and mailed the man the sight draft for 118,000 on a German bavking house. After sending the draft Weichers informed Field what he had done and then there was a scram- bie. It wax necessary to keep up appearances at any cost, 6o the brokerage firm of Knaub, Nachod & Kupnt were told to take care of this act. They notified the German bauk to honor the drait. But Knaub, Nachod & Kupnt demanded satisfactory collateral in this trai action, aud they wanted it in cash. At this)| critical juncture Edward M. Field threw him- self on his father’s mercy, and the latter gave hin. §125,000. Itis plain trom Mr.Wiechers’ ac- tion in promptly sending bis friend a draft for the full amount of his deposit as soon abit wes asked of it that he bad no dishonest: inten- tions Regarding the transaction between the Union Pacifle people and the firm the latter loaned the Union Pacific $900,000 originally, taking as collateral bonds worth at par value $1,600,000. These bonds today are worth about $1,100,000. ‘The Union Pacific people have taken up so far $200,000 of this loan and today owe the firm some $700,000. The bonds are scattered every- where, having been rchypothecated by the firm in lots to suit their convenience. ‘the amount thus disposed of aggregates $500,000. By this method the firm made an average gain of 20 per cent. The ,more the affairs of Field, Lindley, spead scems to be the injury resulting from the failure. It is now well-known that several banks and a great many individuals will suffer toa greater or less extent by reason of their head-bolding securities rehypothecated by Field & Co., which are almost worthless. ‘the condition of Cyrus W. Field last night according to his physician, showed no mat change. The doctor said his patient required absolute rest and quict. Another affliction has come to the uged financier.

Detalls of the Recent Massacre at Takow, China. The London Chronicle's correspondent at Ticntsin says: “Oficial reports of the Takow massacre contain details almost without par- allel, even in the history of China. Previous dispatches Lave given buta faint idea of what Wappened. The members of the little Belgian mission had no opportunity of escaping. The slaughter commenced with the killing of native converts, many of whom were put to death with fiendish cruelty. Children of tender yeurs were seized by tho savages, hacked with knives and roasted at a huge fire.

This right should be enforced in all countries professing civiliza- tion, The stage of a tneater is primarily de- signed for wpectacle. For this reason it is raised a number of feet above the level of the floor, and seats for spectators are terraced in order that all shall have equal chance to gratify the eye without obstruction.

No woman is entitled to wear upon her head any- thing ina public hall which will obstruct the view of thestage.

No woman of taste or breed- ing wishes to deprive a fellow being of some- thing paid for and something possible. woman should be permitted to do out of thoughtlessness what no thoughtful woman is willing to do. Many women are under the illusion that there is no medium between what is conven- tional full or evening dress and street or re- ception dress. They think that they must incur the expense of a carriage; that they must wear a gown cutlow in bodice and all but sleeveless; that their hair must be coiffed by a fashionable hair dresser, and that they must deck their naked shoulders in a brilliant opera mantle or abide by the only alternative of ordi- narystreet attire with » pinnacled hat. ‘This error is,due only to inexperience.

Archbishop Kenrick of St. Louis Completes: Hie Fiftieth Year in the Priest hood. The celebration of the golden jubilee of Peter Richard Kenrick, bishop of the arch- diocese of St. Louis for the past fifty years, began yesterday at St. Louis. Solemn services of thankegiving were held in all the Catholic churches of thatcity. In most of them the visiting prelates pontificated and sermons ger- mane to the occasion were delivered by visiting orators. At St John's Church Archbishop Ryan cele- brated pontifical mass and Bishop Keane of Washington preached the sermon. At St. Francis Xavier's Church Archbishop Janessens of New Orleans said mass and Bishop Moore of St Augustin Fla, preached the sermon. ‘The celebration, which began yesterday morning, will be in keeping with the noble character of the vener- able prelate. No event in the Catholic church in America has brought together as many dis- tinguished dignitaries. Ali the church ecelesi- astics will be present. and the pope has sent a representative with a gift. In St. Louis the interest has not been confined to Homan Cath- olics. Many prominent citizens of all creeds bare — their time and means to aid it. The Christian Brothers gave an entertainment Tick at their college. ent. Archbishop Ireland's lecture at Music Hall last night was a prominent feature of the festivities. His subject was “The Church and Workingmen.” A feature of additional inter- terest was the fact that Cardinal Gibbons at- tended the lecture. He was introduced to the audience and occupied a seat on the stage. At the close of the lecture the cardinal and Arch- bishop Ireland held an informal reception for about half an hour. The jubilee mass took theoldcathedral, which has stood there mnce 1834. Owing to his advanced age—eighty years—Archbishop Kenrick did not offici as celebrant, that duty being assigned to his eminence, Cardinal Gibbons. ‘The jubi- lee sermon was delivered by his grace, Arch- bishop Ryan of Philadelphia. A jubilee ban- juet will take place this afternoon at the Lin- cll Hotel. The banquet will be in honor of Archbishop Kenrick and his guests, the visit- ing clergy. Invitations have been issued to the archbishops, bishops and other leading dig- nitarien of the church, and will ben clerical affair throughout. Speeches will be made.

Two Bicyclists the First to Place the United States Flag on Its Summit. From the New York Sun. Allen and Sachtieben, the Americans who are making a tour of the world on bicycles, have made a signal demonstration of their pluck and endurance by ascending Mount Ararat without guides in the face of great difliculties. Tra- versing Asia Minor from Constantinople by way of Angora, Cesarea and Erzroom they reached Bayazid, near Mount Ararat, June 28, intending to climb this famous mountain. In Payazid they passed four days in buying their Provisions and making preparations. The day before they were to make the at- tempt two European travelers arrived from Van—one a Greck of Salonica on his way to Persia and the other a Tyrolese artist, Mr. Roftt from Meran Mr. Rofl is a_member of an A- pine club and is familiar with the methods of mountain climbing in Europe. He thought the seavon altogether too carly for the attempt and t the ice and snow would be insurmounta- ble. The Americans, however, were not to be discouraged. On the contrary, they persuaded these gentlemen to accompany them, and the following day the party started for the moun- imals, a servant and Turk- y bad no guide and depended upon the informatzon furmsied by the notes of a traveler and their own common sense. The mountain cannot be seen from Bayazid. as the town lies in a valley bebind a high range of hills. On emerging from this upon the level plain Moun: Ararat rises in clear view, covered with pure white snow. ‘They had little trouble the first day and reached « Kurdish Village, where they pussed the night. On the | verything seemed to combine to | tax the endurance of the party. At night they camped at an elevation of 10,000 feet, and on | the third morning the Americans found them- selves obliged to shoulder their bedding and | food and, im company with Mr. Rofil, to pro- ceed to their second camp, as their other com- panions were not willing to veutare further. It was a hard day's workand the improvised camp afforded little opportunity for rest or repose, so they were far from fresh for the last day's effort. Starting out from their camp atiam. on July 4 they pushed on, guspiug for breath and often obliged to fie down and rest, until 1:20 P-m., when, almost exhausted, they reached the summit of the mountain. During the last twenty-seven hours of the climb they could find no water and were obliged to quench their thirst with snow. ‘Their way, too. was full of danger, as they made the last 6,000 feet of the ascent on the verge of tremendous gorge, where a single false stop or one weak place in the snow would have proved fatal. Meaching the top they planted asmali American flag on an ice pick and fired # sulute with their pistols in honor of the glorious Fourth. ‘The top of the mountain is a snow field of three or four acres, with four prominent peaks. The view was indescribable in its grandeur and extent, but in a few momentsafter their arrival the usual afternoon storm came on and the summit was enveloped in clouds. The descent ‘was made in safety and comparative ease and the tourists were received with great honor by the Turkish governor of Bayazid. The ascent of Mount Ararat is not often made, as this monntain is far from the ordinary which are peddlers. Danger Strongest Points, Various prelates and churchmen were pres- | From the Chicago Herald. One of the problems of the soldier in the west is to overtake the Indian when that fellow wants to get away. Let a bandof Indians com- mit » depredation and start to run, and it is one of the greatest of difficulties to catch them. No one who remembers the accounts of the Geronime band can forget the trials of the army men who were sent to capture and pun- ish the red Ounce they bad reached the mountains it was almost impossible to get near them They not only knew the land thoroughly but they could run so rapidly that you might have thom safely located in one place, bring your detachment up, only to find they had gone, bag and Lagsage, hours and hours before. On a straight chase it is almost equally impos- sible to catch them. Even cavalry is useless against them. The human, after all, is the bet- ter animal, and when an Indian band ran in the lead of cavalry horses the latter lost. The only hope was in numbers that could in time surround and turn back the line of retreatso oftenand at such unexpected places that the Indian would surrender more from confusion than from fear. It is no dificult thing for one of the moun- tain Indians to run 100 miles within ten hours. Couriers have carried messages for army of- ficers in that time very often. three minutes has been made on a wager time and again. Up at Hualpi, a village of the Mo- qui Indians of Arizona, there is a religious fes- tival which is introduced by arace of five miies, in which the winner, on testimony that cannot be denied, makes the distance in twenty minutes, climbing at the conclusion of the rece a slooping height of over 700 feet. So proud are the Indians of their prowess as Tunners that on a recent occasion when Com- missioner Morgan of the Indian bureau was in the territories’ looking after his wards the Navajoes brought a runner to thebeadquarters of the government men and wanted to pit him against a horse. Baker of the seventh infantry and Lieut. Fierson of the engineer corps slipped away from the commissioner and went down where the Indians were camping. Baker said he thought the Navajo couldn't run. They were much offended and offered to bet he could outran a horse. “Baker,” said Pierson, “ydu bet them I can beat their man.” The lieutenant of infantry made the propo- sition, and the Indians swiftly gathered up their valuables and offered to stake them. They came in groups and clamored for a bet. They could not get to him quickly enough. He covered everything they offered, even to their ponies, He had about a peck of the most beautifnl garnets heaped on a blanket before him, and ali the silver girdies they hadin camp. The Indian racer stripped to the skin and Pier- son took off his heavier garments. Indiansand whites agreed upon a course and the runners started. “Pierson is a sprinter who could prob- ably beatany man in the army, and he ran ¥ from the Navajo. But the Indians were game. They were sudly diseppointed in their man, but the betsthey never guve a second thought. The army men rounded up their herd of ponies, a burro with beltsand val- uables, hired. boy to carry the lighter winnings and started away. The Indians broke eamp and got ready to leave. As soon as the two ts had shown their plunder to the they sent for the lusers and gave everything back. It was quite a difficult mat- ter for them to explain to the Indians that an army officer could not gamble with Indians and certainly could not justly win from them. But so game were the latter that they did not want to take their things back. Commiseioucr Morgan had thought a deal of Licut. Baker and be was sorely grieved when he | ed of the betting. Baker was very careful to keep from him the knowledge that the winnings had been restored, and he probably went back to Washington with a shocked sense of the state of the army.

On Sunday evening Inst there was a sacred coneert in the saloon of the steamship ‘upon which Gen. Jamee was a passenger, and, al- though the voyage had been a terrible one, yet some 200 of the passengers were able to be Present at this entertainment. Gen. James presided, and the event of the evening was a speech made by Wm. Winter, the dramatic critic of the Tribune. It was full of charm, humor and pathos; and he recited one of his ‘own poems, an unpublished one. He also told a story of Artemus Ward which morning they started down Broadway on their way home. When they reached the old Jones house, now demolished, Artemus insisted upon entering. found a solitary night clerk there, “ho was bately able toawake sufficiently Ward eaid, “Is this the Jones House?” and ho said it very solemnly, and when the clerk unformed iim that it was, Ward straightened umeelf up aud assuming @ manner of grave importance and m: 3 gin, Can it said: ‘First of all Trani a botile of in?” You he was in. but abed. “It is very important that I'see him,” continued Ward; “in fact, of the utmost importance.” as he had to catch a tram.
