It has only been in existence some four years, but the membership has increased with ‘such rapidity that the club has been obliged to move {rom time to time in order to find quarters that woulda be suflicientiy spa- cious. The present club house is large enough just now even for the initiation exercises, which Usually are spread over a considerable space.

Mr. Strauss, Mr. Vincent, Mr. Sweeney and others expressed their regret that the schools were not sufficient for all who applied. Mr. W. F. Carne moved that the board make application to the city council for $175 to provide ad- ditional school facilities during residue of the school year.

The bust, which is a fine work of art, was placed on the platform in the large lecture room, where the unveiling took place at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The com- mistee from Boston arrived, but Gov. Russell was unable to come with them, as was expected. The committee consisted of the Rev. Dr. Wm. Byrne, vicar general of the archdiocese of Massachusetts; Thomas B. Fitz, president of the Catholic Union of Boston; Kev. A. J. Teeling of Newburyport, James Jeffrey Roach, editor of the Boston Pilot; Mr. Abram Shuman, and Mr. Samuel Kitson, the artist, was also with them.

The lecture hall was filled with admirers of the deceased t when the hour for the unveiling arrive i Keane and the Rev. Dr. Garrigan, vice rector of the university, entered the ball with the Massachusetts party, and when Mr. Kitson withdrew the veil from the bust the audience heartily applauded. THE PRESENTATION SPEECH. Rev. Dr. Byrne, in making the presentation speech, said that he had good reason to know the good qualities of the poet who was now be- ing honored. He made the presentation, he said, in behalf of the people of the state of Mas- sachusetts and in the name of his numerous friends and admirers, who were proud of the man they honored and who were also proud of his sterling qualities. He was a man deserv- ing of all honor that could be bestowed upon him. He was a gifted poct anda true patriot. His exile from’ his native land has proved a triple blessing, for, loving freedom as he did, the free air of the American continent had not only enlarged his ideas of liberty,but gave him additional mental power, which he used to more advantage, aceompliahed more go remained — in ought it but just that such grand institution as tho Catholic houid give that hero a titi ception to the hails of its magnificent building. Dr. Byrne complimented the artist and sai Ve who knew O'keilly know that the bust iso faithful portrait and a work of art.” In con- clusion Dr. Byrne spoke of the spirit and char- acter of the man whose bust bad beon unveiled and quoted tributes paid to him by Cardinal Gibboas, Benjamin VA Butler, James Jefirey Roach, Gov.

A Brilliant Gathering at the Reunion at ‘Masonic Temple. Good fellowship and merriment reigned su- preme last evening at Masonic Temple. It was the occasion of «social reunion of the badger state people and their many friends. Commis- sioner Taylor, who was chairman of the gath- ering, echoed the sentiment of the largo assem- blage when, in a witty and eloquent speech, he said that he had attended the reunion of the Ohio state people, had found the hall packed to the doors and thought of protesting to the President that Ohio had more than her share of the federal patronage. But upon looking over the vast sea of heads that were gathered before him he had cometo the conclusion that Wisconsin bad not been left when the distribu- tion of offices bad taken place. Mr. Taylor paid his respects in a highly humorous way to Senators Sawyer and Vilas, Secretary Rusk and others who occupied the siage with him. He concluded hie remarks with @ patriotic appeal to his hearers to stand firm for upright and unimpeachable govern- ment. After a solo by Dr. Arnold the chair- man introduced Representative Clinton Bab- itt, who 3] ve fe ingly reunion of his Badger ‘state friends. ‘The solo of Mr, Leftier followed and was liberally applauded. Representative N. P. Haugen, the next gentle- man on the program, failed to appear, being unavoidably detained by sickness, and Chair- man Taylor introduced the orator of the even- ing, Senator Vilas. Senator Vilas’ remarks were in an exceptionally: bright vein, bristling with humorous stories and happy remarks, but always drifting toward the one uppermost thought—the fortunate circumstance that made him a resident of the badger state. He felt a sincere compassion ior those people who had to live in other states, but exprossed the hope tbat in the future tley would know better and come to the equelusion ‘sat there was but one state in the Union, aud that was Wisconsin. Enthusiastic applause was the re- sult of the Senator's remarks. Mr. Herndon Morsell sung a popular solo and was encored for his efforts. :ing followed and an elabo- -| rate mend was served in the supper room. It Bay Senator a vin, Commissioner and 4 Central Organization to Represent All the Various Localities. Citizens’ associations, for the promotion of the interests of the different sections of the city and county before Congress, are springing up all over the District. Yesterday's Stan con- tained an account of the formation of such a society by the residents of Tri and Ivy City, which took place Wednesday evening. Last evening the largo dining room of the Hill- man House, on North Capitol street, was filled with representatives from the various associa- tions in the northeast section of the county. Speeches favoring the formation of a central organization, to be known as “The North- eastern Improvement Association,” were made by Geo. P. Davis, Dr. L. C. Loomis, A. J. Buhler, A. H. Davis, Prof. F. D. Foster, Chas. D. Lynch and others, after which the meeting organized by electing Dr. L. C. Loomis as chairman and ‘A. af. Dewey secretary. In tak ing the chair Dr. Loomis briefly outlined the objects of the proposed society and predicted that through its efforts the northeastern sec- tion of the District would soon receive what he considered a more equitable proportion of the improvements to be made with monies from the public treasury than it had been receiving in the past. There was no reason, he said, why property values and publicconveniences should hot be as great there'as in the northwest. ‘The Sround was as, high or higher, the, water sup- ly purer and even more plentiful afd the rainage was the bost in the country. The most extreme point represonted was as near or nefrer the Cupitol than Georgetown and all that was needed was somo means of transporta~ tion and some streots through which to reach the city. 1t was to promote such enterprises for the Bengal good that this central associa- tion was tobe formed. Mr. Davis made a plea for the proposed Northeast Washington rail- road. ‘The road, he said, was not to be built for speculation, but because the large number of people—many thousands—now living in the territory to be traversed by the road required some means of xccess to the city other than the steam railroad lines. ‘Tho routo selected, he said, had the well nigh unanimous app: tho citizens in the sections through which it passes. He presented a resolution ado} the citizens’ meeting at Trinidad Wednesday evening indorsing the project and asked the central body to take the matter in hand, The suburban villages of Brookland, East and South Brookiand, Winthrop Heights, Langdon, Ivy City, University Heights and ‘Trinidad ‘were represented at the meeting by delegations, and steps were taken to forma permanent society. A.M. Dewey, Martin L. Gottwals, A. H. Davis, L. C. Loomis and Charles D. Lynch were appointed @ committee on rules and the follo were appointed a com- mittee to wait upon the Commission- crs and tho District committees of the House and Senate to urge the granting of the charter to the Northeast Street Railroad Company: L. C. Loomis, Winthrop Heights; Charies D. Lynch, Brookland; I. J. Baker and A. M. Dewey, Langdon; Theodore Holbrook, 1. P. Childs and George P. Davis, ‘Trinidad; Albert Gieason, N. May and George Sanderson, Ivy City. Tho members present were en- thusiastic over the prospect of improvements in the northeast section of the District and ad- journed to meet next Thursday evening at the same place.

Anacostia, though flourishing, embraces in her population many needy folks. Cases of destitution are coming to light just now with unusual frequency. Applications are daily re- ceived by the police and the charitable organi- zations are busy. ev. Charles Warren Currier of Boston, the eminent prelate, lectures at St. Teresa's Church Sunday night for the benefit of the poor. His theme will be ‘What Catho- lics Do Not Believe.” The proceeds will be disbursed under the auspices of St. Teresa's Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. The question of creed will not figure in the distribution of the funds. The Catholic Clab of East Washington will attend in a body and St. Peter’s Conference will be well repre- sented. UNRULY PASSENGERS PUT OFF. Short car No. 6 of the Anacostia railroad had ashaking up on alate trip Wednesday night. When near the canal in South Washington three burly negroes boarded the car. They: were inebriated, refused payment of fare and grew abusive. Conductor L. A. Everett, from St. Mary's county, Md., invited the men to take a walk. This they objected to. Everett collared the one nearest the rear dash and assisted him tothe street. His companions took bis part and Driver Phil Padgett appeared on the scene with a switch hook and Everett converted the brake handle intoa club. A few blows were exchanged, the difficulty was settled and No. 6 continued its way with the passengera, NOTE, Saint Teresa’s Branch, No. 591, Catholic Knights of America, met last night at the office of Secretary George H.
