A Japanese Lady Talks Temperance at Mt. Vernon Church Yesterday. Mrs, Tel Sono, the Japanese temperance lecturer, lawyer and missionary worker, ad- dressed a large audience yesterday afternoon at the Mt. Vernon Place Church. Mrs. Tel Sono is bright, energetic little woman and has had rather a remarkable career. She be- longs to a high caste family in Tokio, where she studied law, and was the first Japanese woman ever to take up that profession. She told in her lecture yesterday what she bad suffered from a drunken husband, and how thathad inspired her to come to America, where the women had so many advantages. It was at the annual convention of the World's Woman's C. T. U. in Boston last autumn she made her first appearance in the field of tem- perance workers. ‘LIKE THE REST OF THE SEX. Japanese women are pretty much like the rest of their sex the world over. When Mra, Tel Sono came to Mt. Vernon Church yester- day afternoon she was dressed like the ladies in her audience in -fitting and stylish black costume. But she carried a small satchel in which was tucked away her native costume. To get it all on in the sure privacy of the Sun- day school room down stairs, with Mrs. La Fetra as head dresser. and Tue Stan's repre- sentative to hold the door and keep everybody out was an easy matter, but to be morally cer- tain that she was looking her best could not be settled to Mrs. Tel Sono’s mind without a look- When that was secured a few deft touches here and there finished up the toilet, and Mrs. Tel jooked as she has hundreds of times on Tokio’s streets. HOW SHE WAS DRESSED. Fer robe of dull gray silk was tied round the waist by a big sae of pink silk. Her hair was dressed in the Japanese style. Pinned to her dress was the white ribbon. Instead of the native sandals her feet were encased in strong buttoned boots. After Mra La Fetra’s intro- duction Mrs. Tel Sono talked on temperance in ®& most interesting way. Her English is a bit choppy, but her quaint expressions increase rather than detract from her lectures. Be- sides being an enthusiastic temperance worker, she isan ardent Christian and a good exhorter. When a lady was presented whose friend she knew she kissed her and said: “Praise the Lord.” When she was through her lecture she held a regular reception, when all had a chance to greet her. While in this city she is a guest of Mrs. La Fetra. he First Congregational Ckurch was filled last evening at 7:30 to listen to an address by the eminent Japanese convert, Mrs. Tel Sono of Tokio, Japan. ‘The pastor, Rev. Dr. New- man, presided. and Dr. Bischoff, assisted by a chorus of sixty voices, rendered most exquisite music. Mrs. Tel Sono spoke on her life and e: perience for nearly an hour. A large collec- tion was taken up for the benefit of the Chris- tian school for girls, which she will soon start Various Bodies of the Methodist Church and Where They Will Convene. Next month a number of conferences of the Methodist church will be held and following them several genersl conferences will take place. The Baltimore conference of the Meth- odist Episcopal church will convene its one hundred and eighth session at Madison Avenue Church, Baltimore, Bishop Foster, and will continue about a week. Under the time limit, six years for presiding elders and five years for the pastorate, Rev. W. F. Speake, the presid- ing eider of East Baltimore district, well known in this city, and but two of the Baltimore pas- ‘tors chi », and Rev. Dr. Elliott of the Foundry in this city will change, and Rev. Richard Norris, formerly of this city, now in Cumber- land, also, ‘There is likely to be a number of changes outside of these, for, although the limit is xed, the ministers and membership | to the are nota unit in favor of every appointment continuing for five years, and there are many who would the old ‘two-year limit again enforced, while others would prefer a new pastor every few years. Rev. Dr. Naylor will close his first year of service as presiding elder of bg oe dis- trict, and his report will show that he been active during the year and revivals at many points of his district. The Virginia conference of the M. E. church meets the same date at Falls Church, and will be held by Bishop Waldon. The Washington conference of the M. E. embracing the colored churches of the and portions of Virginia, West ‘inia and Maryland, will be convened at Lynch- urg, Va., March 9, by Rev, Bishop Hurst.

Owing to the fact that three conferences will Precede the meetings of the general coufer- ence this year, the growth of the church in membership, &c., and the advanced position it is tak: on the questions of the day the see- sions will be more important than usual. ‘The general conference of the M. E. church will be convened at Omaha, Neb., on the first Wednesday in May next.’ The question of the admission of women delegates to the body will doubtless occupy some time of the conference As well as the general subject of lay representa- tion. The increase of work will necessitate the election of additional bishops. ‘The gencral conference of the Methodist Protestant church will meet at Westminster, Md., in May, and the admission of delegates and amendment of the churoh ritual will be among the subjects considered, ‘he African ML. E. general conference meets in Philadelphia in Muy and among other work will be the election of bishops. THE ELKs’ church, ‘Dis CARNIVAL, It Will Commence ut the National Rifles’ ‘ Hall Tonight.

An Interesting Lecture at the Academy of Music by Bishop Keune. “The Rights of Man” was the subject of a lecture delivered last evening at the Academy of Music by Bishop Keane. He pointed out that the French bill of rights, which reads like an echo to the Declaration of Independence, failed because it did not recognize Christianity. He pointed out the different conditions in this country. There are men, he said, who would persuade our country that she can do without religion. He spoke of the proposed amend- ment to the Constitation which provides that no state shall use any public money for any in- stitution under church direcction. “The only institutions,” the speaker said, “any religious body is likely to have control over are those of education or charity. So they intend to per- suade us that the work of education can be done without the control of religion or the min- istrations to the suffering without its blessed comfort. tem of ethics, which may mean any- thing or nothing, some would have us accept is the Christian religion as practiced by the Catholics, the Episcopalians, the Presbyterians, the Baptists or the Methodists. Thus would any one jides. unless so blind by prejudice that he hates every system but his own. ri this measure is artfully introduced under the cloak of that amendment makes it more shame- } fal imbued with hostility to any form of religion, would place us before the world asin opposi- tion to religion. May the states remain free to the end of time to encourage religion in all her blessed works of charity and education.” pore temas an THE ATLANTIC CHAMPIONSHIP.

Today the High School cadet battalion pe- raded and the patriotic feature of its turnout was the marching salute rendered the aques- trian statue of Washington in Washington Circle. ‘The only other counterfeit preseut- ment of the father of his country out of doors in this city is the semi-nude figure east of the Capitol, but as that is always in a box at this sesson the equestrian statue was the only one availablo for a salute. ‘The boys are rather proud of the fact that they alone rendered material homage image of the greatest of patriots and Americans. The battalion, which was com- manded by Maj. F. H. Reichelderfer,assembled at the Franklin (School building and at 2:30 moved down K street to Massachusetts avenue, and by way of 3d street to Pennsylvania avenue, thence to Washington Circle and by K street to the front of the Arlington Hotel. At 4:80 the battalion will, at the latter place, go through the ceremony of a dress parade. New drill regulations prevailed thruughout. INGTON LIGHT INFANTRY: A permanent event in the Washington Light Infantry calendar is the Washington's birthday Parade. Since the infantry became a portion of the National Guard its appearance as the Light Infantry has been infrequent, but it al- ways comes out on the 22d, clad in the white Austrian coats, blue trousers and bearskin shakos, which are so familiar to the residents, of more than onecity in the United States. ‘The infantry was out today, the battal- ion, commanded by Col. W. G. Moore. leaving its armory at 3 o'clock. The route laid out was down Pennsylvania Avenue to 3d street, then countermarch to 15th, up 15th toK, to ‘19th, and then by way of Pennsylvania avenue and 15th streets to tho armory. The battalion paraded for the first time under the new drill regulations and thou sands of sidewalk critics wondered what was the matter. "They looked for the old “shoulder to shoulder” formation and the cleverly exe- ecuted wheels and mourned considerably cause they were not. A good many people did not realize that the work of the Nations! Guard is now practical and soldierly in the first in- stance, not ornamental. NATIONAL RIFLES AND OLD GUARD. The National Rifles andthe Old Guard pa- raded jointly. They assembled at the National Rifles’ armory and started at2 o'clock. Capt. J. F. Oyster commanded the Rifles; Capt. J. M. Edgar the Old Guard. ‘The route covered was from G to 7th street, to K, to 18th, to Pennayl- vania avenue, to F, to 7th, to Pennsylvania avenue, to 43s. to the Old Guard armory at Grand Army Hall. ‘There the Old Guard. will entertain the Kisies in a substantial and liquid manner. Last year the Rifles did the enter- taining The parade of these organizations was under the old Upton tactics, but Capt. Oyster informed a Stam reporter that this would not happen again. The Rifles, although not attached to the national military force, will take up the new réguiutions shortly. THE CONTINENTALS. The Washington Continentals fitly celebrated the day by donning their peculiarly appropriate uniforms and making a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon on the steamer Macalester. TROOP A GOES TO FORT MYER. At 1:30 about thirty-five members of Troop A, D.C. N. G., commanded by Capt. Harry 8. Barbour, left the Center Market urmory for a ride to Fort Myer. ‘There they will be accorded riding-hall privileges and. under the direction of Lieut. A. W. Perry, will acticipate in program which was published in Saturday's Sram THE PAKADE IN COURT, Tho Procession of Prisouers Reviewed by Judge Kimball This Morning. George Washington did not appear in the crowd of prisoners in the Police Court this morning. He appeared about a week ago and was sent down, so that his term of service has not expired and it was @ physical impossibility for him to have been in today’s parade. There were sixty-seven prisoners in the three cells and there was the usual number of victims of rum. When the first detachment of prisoners reached Judge Kimball's court Martha Dessio and Louisa Gasaway, colored women, were first tried. They were charged with disorderly con- duct and vagrancy. Auguste gave evidence against the women and they denied the charge “I don’t curse, becan I belong to church,” I don't belong to ut ome Yours ago when I had the measles and thought I was going to die 1 swore off cursing and 1 ain't cursed none since.” ‘Two dollars each. Lottie Curtiss was the name given by a col- ored woman who was artested in Georgetown for vagraney. Her peculin: conduct caused the judge to suspect that her mind wa: not entirely right and Dailiff Kendig said she al- ways acted in that strange manner. She was given twenty days on the farm. Maggie Forbes said guilty to a charge of hav- disorderly in Express alley aud she n for filteen days. Lizzie Hings aud Sarali Johnson were charged with being disorderly. ‘fhe former plead guilty and was fined 5, but the latter plead not guilty, and the penulty in her case was §8 or twenty-four days. ADMITTED HE WAS DRUNK. “I'm guilty of being drunk and that’s all,” was what John Meehan said. ut,” said Judge Kimball, “it is charged that you are a confirmed drunkard. What have you to say to that charge? “That's all wrong,” answered the prisoner. “T've been stoppin; ¢ home on Missouri avenue and been drinking.” Sixty days. 'l take an oath right here never to_ take another drop of liquor,” was what Reese Simpson told the judge. “That's as good a move as you could possibl * said the court, “if you will only sti to it, and I am going to be lenient with you. ‘Thirty days.” “But he was arrested in Georgetown,” in- terrupted the bailiff. “Phen he can have twenty days,” said the judge. ‘That is the maximum penalty in George town. Robert Voudre, Lemuel Stalke, John Lar- man, Wm. Washington and Daniel Lyons each plead guilty to charges of disorderly conduct and went down for fifteen days in default of ine. John Jones and George Steele violated another section of the District ordinances and were fined $10 or 30 days each. THE JUDGE LET uiMt Go. When the name William 8. Hook was called the judge recognized the young man as having been in court last week. His story was that he went to Roanoke, Va., when that city was booming and like ‘many others he came away with nothing. He did not want to sce his wife again until he was in better circumstances and that, he explained, was the reason he meet her when she was here. The evidence was that inst week he slept in an all-night mi dairy and since be was in court he bas been taking an early morning nap ona settee in a hotel corridor. He promised to return to his home in Baltimore and go to work and the judge released him on his ee bonds. Joba Nelson plead guilty to a charge of va- grancy and went down for two months. Laura Day disturbed the quiet of George- town, plead not guilty, was given a trial and fined $8 or twenty-four dave. Levi Butler was called and a colored man re- sponded. ‘Disturbing the quict of White Chapel alley” was the charge against him und he plead guilty. The court heard the teati- mony of the prosecuting witness and Levi was taxed €8. He did not have the money. Henry Archer and Tucker Webb were the last prisoners in the first procession and they were fined $5 each for disorderly condugt, ——— Death of Mrs. ant Hyde. Mrs. Anna M.

John Simmerman is being treated in Provi- dence Hospital for wounds of the neck and wrist inflicted with a razor held in his own hands. He wanted to die, and although he made a good attempt the doctors think they will be able to save him. Simmerman was a bicycle dealer and kept a repair shop at No. 603 G street, near the site of the temporary city Post office. He occupied a room in the house of Mr. W. IL. Forrester, No. 605 6th street, just around the corner from his shop. ‘The wet and cold weather caused a slack in the bicycle busi- ness and the dealer had plenty of spare time, which he took advantage of to celebrate in strong drink. It was after midnight Friday that Simmerman returned to his lodgings. No one saw him, but other persons in the house heard him. It is thought that he was under the influcnce of liquor at the time. Saturday the lodger did not leave his room and about 6 o'clock in the evening Mr. Lawler, son- in-law of Mr. Forrester, went to his room and rapped on the door. Simmerman responded ina faint voice and when Mr. Lawler opened the door he was surprised to sce the man lying in a pool of blood in his bed. There were three gashes across bis throat and one cut had in- jured the windpipe. There was also a cut acrosshis left wrist. His .1m was hanging out of the bed sud the blood from the wound in his wrist had dripped into a tin bucket. When first found Simmerman said he had been fighting negroes. and that they had cut Lim, but soon afterward he told Mr. Lawler that the razor was beneath his pil- low, and there the blood-stained weapon was found.

This morning the patient was better, and, as already stated, the physicians think be will recover. gee ALEXANDRIA, TODAY'S CELEBRATION.
