A. was fully demonstrated Saturday night, when over 560 peopie were crowded into the gymnasium, on the occasion of » public de- bate. It was an important event, hence the Inrge attendance. Representatives of the lit- erary socinty of the loca! association battled for honors with a couple of debaters from the New York association over the question of which produced the greatest good to mankind—the American or the French revolution. This de- | bate was the first of a xcries that has been j planned between the Washington society and | those of Philadelphia and New York. i ODSECTS OF THE SocrETY. Mr. Geo. W. Drew, the president of the so- | ciety, alluded to the scheme in bis remarke, | which opencd the exercises of the evenin He said, addressing the New York debaters “As our society is organized for the purpose of the advancement of its members in literary culture, to iéarn the art of public speaking and also to acquire practical knowledge of parlia~ mentary inw, we are in close rei your aims and purposes. ‘This kindred and desire, however. single to the literary society other one city, and if our efforts are crowned with su e is not far distaut when we wil be members of a national organization 6f literary societies of the Young Men's Chris- tian Association, im which we hope every state ia the Union will be represented, “The joint debate tonightisa step forward m this direction.

Why not have a national organi- zation of literary societies which have for their pu the means of immediate and inexhaustible enjoyment to man and the culti- vation of his mind? Superior intelligence is becoming every year more necessary for the successful conduct of the most ordinary pur- suit With the means of communication and transportation of today the world ix but one vast community. The large attendance of our friends here tonight we hope is an indication of the interest they feel in our efforts.” THE DISPUTANTS AND THELK EFFORTA ‘The debate of the evening was conducted by Messrs, Fred. E. Tarker, Pickens Neagle and C. E. Paul for Washington on the affirmative, and Messrs, W. H. Cloutier and Geo. H. Richards for New York on the negative. The latter sice was a man short, Mr. Geo. W. Cassatt, who was to have taken part, being ill, but Mr. Cloutier was granted the privilege of making two speeches. 2 ‘The question waseo framed that the Wash- ingtonians apbeld the results of the Amer revolution as being wore productive of u: versal benefit thun the French war. The bate jasted un hour avd « half andat its ¢ clusion the referee, Justice Harlan, «warded the paim of victory to the local men. His re- marks were quite liumorous an4 elicited con- siderable applause, particularly when he said: JUSTICE HARLAN'S REMARKS. “It is the first time in my judicial career that I have been calied upon to decide a case ov the spot. I have been abie,usually,to manage judicial proceedings befors me so as to give ime an opportunity to sleep on them over night and in important cases to consult with my wife. I wish to say that the scheme of these debates is very creditable to this organization and I hope they willbe continued I want to say also, without flattery, that the speeches which we have heard tonight are better than some I often hear in the court room, and, I um quite sure, better thun some I wee reported in the Congressional Records.” ‘The arrangements for the debate were under the charge of # committee consisting of Messrs, W P.

He said he was “going to crucify the child.” He was at once com- mitted 10 an asylum. ‘Two years ago he was discharged as cured.

It is matter of grave doubt if he will ever again appear on the stage. After a Jong and vain effort on the part of his manager, his friends and his physicians to control him, it is now confessed that his mind is affected; in short, that he is a sufferer from paresis, the disease that has sent toan asylum and to the grave Tony Hart, John McCullough, Bartley Campbell, Charles E.

MACHINERY YOR THE FAIR, Much of It Will Bo Furnished Freely— Washington State's Exhibit. World's fair officials are securing without cost ® great deal of necessary and valuable ma- chinery for ase during the fair, according to's New York 7ril/une special. They are getting it because the big firms engaged in the manufact- ure of machinery appear to realize that it will be an immense advertisement for them to have their machinery used in furnishing power and light for the exposition. Mechanical Engineer Slocum of the construction department has been engazed recently in securing and install- ing the machinery necessary to furnish the 5,000 horse power for the service of the world’s fair. The engines, boilers, belting, &c., to form the power plant will be procured for the movt part from exhibitions, and will be fur- nished without cost, inasmuch as they will bo installed a3 exhibits. In this way an unex- ected saving of several hundred thousand dol- jare will be realized. ‘The state of Washington will havo a unique world’s fair state building. It will be built almost entirely of materials from. the state of Washington, and will form an illustration of the buildiug materials and industries peculiar to that state. ‘Lhe design for the structure bas been ‘approved by the construction department. ‘The building will be 220x140 feet. ‘The outside will be of timber from the Puget sound region, andall the lumber entering into it has been given by the State Lumbermen’s Association. ihe main entrance is to be made one of the features of the building, and will be of granite, marble and ore quarried in the state. In ad- dition to what may be contributed, the state will expend £50,000 in constructing and elab- orating the details of the building. Nicaragua has appropriated 30,000 for the world’s fair, and intends to make a big display at the exposition. It will outdo previous efforts in that line, and bas already begun the collec- tion of Indian antiquities and Nicaraguan works ofart.
