The members of the congressional committee who have been investigating the immigration question in New York, says « Baltimore Sun special, have returned, it is stated, much im- pressed by some of the scenes of misery they were forced to witness at the landing stage, but to which, from long years of familiarity, | local feeling has grown calloused. A creditable story is told of Congressman Funston of Kan- sas, a member of the committee, who came across, at Ellis Island, the four children of one of the typhus victims of the Massilia, who ere waiting to be sent back to tuasia, With the nid of an interpreter Mr. Funston talked with the children. They were very poor, and as they told of the bard time they had had they began tocry. The Little girl was moaning for her mother. The Congressman could not stand it. He took the little thing up in his arms, and before he could comfort her there were tears in his own eyes. ‘Then he drew his pocket book, put the little thing down and began distrib: uupg two-dollar bills. He gave oue to every member of the family, from the father to th jour-year-old. Theu he straightened up to bi full sis feet, and his heavy voice was husky as id “I'm not used to this. I've got some chil- dren of my own. Ican't stand it to ree that little thing crying for its mother.” Senator Hill took no part in the important busizess of the investigating committee, Lut remained attending to his personal political fences during their stay in New York. — HE ASSAULTED HIS WIFE And Then, It is Supposed, Tried to Burn the House Up. Wm. Matthews, a colored man about thirty- five years old, was a prisoner in Judge Miller's court this morning, charged with having as- saulted his wife at their home, No. 1227 25th street northwest, yesterday. The prisoner works about the river front and yesterday when he went home he was considerably under the influence of liquor. His wife was at home when he arrived and after they had quarreled he struck at her. Following that he threatened to burn everything in the honse, and about 6 o'clock in the evening considerable excite- ment was caused in the neighborhood when smoke was seen issuing from the doors and windows of the house. An alarm of fire was turned in, but there was no work for the fire department, xs nothing but tome strawhad burned. Matthews had broken the furniture, as weil as the stove and dishes, and a feeling of uneasiness prevailed until Pohceman O'Rourke appeared and took the man away under arrest. These facts were ex- plained to Judge Miller this morning. and one witness said that the prisoner was locked in the room where the straw was burned. Judge Miller wanted to know if the man tried to burn himself, and Sergeant Myers remarked that the man ‘was pretty well burned with liquor. ‘The prisoner admitted that ne struck at his wife, but he denied that he attempted to burn the people im the house. For the assault the court imposed a fine of #10 or thirty days and required the prisoner to give 2500 real estate security to keep (he peace or stand committed six months. ARTIST MONTAGUE'S ROMANCE, The English Courts Had Declared Him Dead Years Ago. Fernleigh T. Montague, the English artist who shot himself Sunday, was a resident of Lynn, Mass., during the three years preceding the great fire of 1889. He had many friends and patrons there, and both moved in the fashionable circles of society. They went there from Melbourne, Australia, in 1886, Mrs. Mon- tague being the daughter of a prominent gov- ernment oficial in that country. Mr. Mon- tague was born, reared and educated in Lon- don, and on being apprenticed to a barrister ran away to America. Shortly after a body was | found floating in the Thames and buried us | bis, Twelve years afterward he learned that | legacies that should have come into his posecs- sion by right of descent had passed to distant relatives. He was looked upon as dead, and failed to prove his identity in the courts. Since then his life has been a continual strug- gle for existence, He was an able artist and musician. —_—— THE COURTS Count i Genenat. Teum—Chief Justice Bing- ham and Judges Coz and James.

It can’ certainly elaim no literary merit nor any particular ingenuity of construc- tion. It does furnish a considerable amount of fun, or at least the players make the fon. gnd there is also some good singing snd dancing during the evening. Miss Theresa Vaughan fully maintained her reputation as a vocalist, and every one of her solo numbers was en- cored. Mr. Holmes displayed a tenor voice of kod ‘quality ‘and fair range. Mr. Bell de- Veloped a bass of more than ordinary volume and compass, and Miss Fairbairn bas a soprano rank of pleasing tone and good cultivation. David's reputation as a comedian and is well known, and as the “Understn was better than the star. Mr. Mesiayer's ele- phantine proportions provoke merriment, but they ulso handicap him in any attempt at versatility. Among the musical numbers in. troduced were selections from ‘Kigoletto,” “Robin Hood,” “The Mascot” and the “Doctor of Alcanhars.” Frank David's topical song was catchy and caught several encores. Again tonight. New Natioxan Tarater.—Madame Jai schek commenced an engagement at the New National Theater last might, appearing in Jas. M. Martin's play Harvest Moon,” to large audience, who gave every evidence of satisfaction atthe performance. This is the second time this season that star and play have been seen in this city, and the judgment given in these columns on’ its first presenta. tion need not be repeated. Mme. Janauschek's power as an actress is well known and her long experience has enabled ber to master every stage resource. Her ability to interpret roles of intense feeling avd passion has long been Tecognized, and .t finds seope in the character of Ars. Vakiey in ier present venture. She is surrounded by « competent company, among whom may be especially mentioned Messrs. H. D. Clifton, A. H. Stuart, Paul Davis and Misa Jessie Benstelie. The piece is well placed upon the stage. ACADENY oF Mvsic.—An audience which filled every seat in the Academy of Music last night greeted Mr. Stoddard at the commence- ment of his course of lectures. A trip through Spain was the subject of his talk, and tue lec- turer at once established himself upon un eany and friendly footing with hix hearers. His illus- trations were numerous and effective and they served to punctuate and emphasize his deserip- tions apd did not break the thread of his pleus- ant story. Mr. Stoddard enters Spain by way of the Pyrenees, a remarkable opeuing fa the Tange showing a narrow gorge through which the entrance is made. Desceading to the Span- ish side he stops at Panticoss, whose baths are curious ard interesting. There are a number of them, devoted to the parts of the body which they are supposed to cure, with signs over them “The Lungs, "Lhe Liver,” &e., and oue in par- ticular called “The Colic.” Hore Le tells of an amusing experience he had at aauiphur spring ‘Then the scene shifts to Cardova, an ancient seat of Moorish learning, which had 1,000 years ago hbraries, baths im great number and everything indicating « high civilization, which the Spaniards destroyed. ‘Ihe fa: mous mosque at Cordova is _ particu- larly deseril and illustrated. “thence to Sevilie, where are shown its famous beauti- ful tall tower .known as the Giralda, and other interesting things. Here Mr. Stoddard de- scribes very vividly and with @ protusion of illustrations a buil fight which le witnessed there. From Seville to Granada, famous for the Alhambra, which the lecturer describes minutely, with illustrations showing its various courts, gardens, &c. He shows later ou that although the Moors, who built it, were so cul- tivated the time had really come for rougher and more virile race like the Spaniards to take possession—explaining that each wife of the Moorish ruler plotted to have her son become the successor to the throne, to the ex- clusion of thesons of other wives, thus creating dissension and causing massacres. A very pathetic account of the capture of the Alham- bra by the Spaniards in 1492 and of the sorrow ot the Moors, their king especially, Boabdii, obtaining a promise from Ferdinand that the doorway through which he went out for the last tume should be wailed up and never more used. Mr. Stoddard then throws on a view of Morocco, whence the Moors fled, and speaks of the universal sadness of the faces of sloors and of the tradition that when one of them seems pensive und silent his comrades say of him, ‘He ie thinking of Granada.” ‘The lecture closes with views of the Kock of Gibraltar, where the Spanish tour ends. ‘Ihe same lecture will be repeated tonight as the frst im the second course and also tomorrow night as the begin- ning of course C. Hanuis’ Busou Tuzaten.—There was a large and enthusiastic audience at Harris’ last night to witness the first production of W. H. Pow- ers’ company in the “Ivy Leaf.” ‘The story of the play is the usual one of lovely woman, brave man and villain as the principal charac- ters, und these repeated in the secondary places, only that it is so well knit together that it becomes a question which is the principal and which secondary. ‘The piece is well writ- ten, well mounted and well played. ‘The most striking of the scenic, mechanical and other adjuncts are the eagle which carries away a flesh-and-blood child, acastle, the interior and exterior of which in turn are shown by mechan- ical appliances, and a view of the lakes of Kil- larney by moonlight, ‘The scenery in the last act is especially excellent. ‘The performance was given with a vim that kept the audience aglow with its spirit. The quartet is in splendid training, aud the voices are as good as the training. Several solos were well ren- dered, and the musical features of the ev ing’s entertamment are by no means the least attractive. The competitive Irish jig and reel dancing to the music of Irish bagpipes was very enjoyable. Again tonight. Kerxax's Lycevm Turater.—An audience of large proportions greeted Harry Williams’ Own Specialty Company last night at Kernan s Lyceum ‘heater, ‘This company i strongest on the road, embr: i such well-known fanmakers ik Bush, the Garnella brothers and the Acme Four. Mr. Bush in bis Hebrew imitations w. again and again and for encore many new quips and witticisms. nelia brothers’ impersonation of Chinese under the influence of opium is ridiculously funny nd scored heavily. The Acme Four's “Tubb’s Visit” is good, and was received with one con- tinuous roar of laughter. The others of the company are above the average in their line and complete a strong aggregation. ‘The per- formance was concladed with the musical farce “Whose Baby?” Axain tonight. Coxconpts Hati—Hall'scelebrated Old Guard Band of New York city, consisting of thirty- five picked musicians,all soloists,and ineludin H. A. Hall,the renowned saxophone soloist, will give a concert at the Concordia Hull tonight. Master Frauk Hurtt the wonderful boy cor- netist, will also appear, and the program will contain musical gems which are calculated to please the popular taste. Whenever this band fas appeared it bas won high praise for the ex- cellence of its work. Narionat ltrries’ Ansony.—Tomorrow night there will be a unique entertainment at the National Rifles’ Hail, when the operetta of ‘The Seven Oid Ladies of Lavendertown” will be presented with a large and competent cast of characters. The performers have been carefully rehearsed by Madame Szemelenyi, under whose direction the operetta will be pro- duced, and o complete and satisfactory per- formance in every respect may be anticipated. Mr. Mortimer Caruana will give some of his fancy dances.

MARVELS OF ART. Treasures in Furniture, Ete., Collected by an Artist in Europe. Such beautiful things in the way of furniture and bric-a-brac have been rarely seen in Wash- ington as are now on view at Latime? & Sloan's auction rooms, No. 1407 G street northwest. They are to be soldznext Thursday, Friday and Monday, and, in anticipation of that event, the establishment was thronged today with admirers of such art works, the crowd including not a few eager amateurs. There are water colors by ominent masters, antiques, tapestries, rich stuff*, bronzes, marbles, enamels, arms, old porcelain, Venetian glass and many other precious things. All of them were gathered in Europe during some years past by the cele- brated artist, Signor A. Foili, who is now in Rome. Among the most exquisite objects to be offered for sale at auction on the days men- tioned is a suit of furniture—four chairs and a #ofa—in hard wood, gilt, with the monogram of the first Napoleon, which was presented by the Empress Marie Louise to the Countess delVerme. Even more remarkable is a Sevres table in rich orinulu, with painted Sevres panels, repre- senting Louis XVI and the famous ladies of his court, from the collection of Prince Demidoff. A superb antique buhl clock and bracket, made by John Good, watchmaker of Louis XV, was formerly the property of the Marquis Magny. Among the most striking objects in this col- lection are painted tapestries, made by the best artists of France in imitation of the Sucient Gobelin. Une of them represents a woodland scene with sportive nymphs and aj Preciative swaine. ‘There is also an arm chair, which was given by Pope Pius IX to Cardinal Antonelli. “A very valuable set of first empire furniture is from the collection of the French ambassador, de Uzes, at Naples, including fif- teen pieces.’ There is a Louis XIII carved wood table, representing young Bacchus in the vineyard. A large silver-plated church lamp is from the collection of Cardinal Pacca, and from the studio of Fortuny, the famous painter, com su antique Spanish moresque vase. There are inceuse burners of ormolu and pearl, Dresden plates, exquisitely ornamonted; swords of the first empire, iridescent plaqucs, damask por- tieres, minictures of many interesting persons, majoiica bowls, boxes of dainty tilagree, Flor- entiue mirrors, capi de monto vases, antique silver ware, gold embroidery and a mahogany and ormolt clock, made by Kobert, watch- muker to Napoleon I, which strikes hours, halves and quarters, gives alarms und tells the Your and day of the month. Many other things of artistic excellence and intrinsic value there are besides, which cause the impecunious vis- itor to envy the well-to-do folks who can afford to buy such treasures. — Advertisement. pick mndes ‘The Marriage Law and the Mi To the Editor of The Evening Star: I desire to oceupy only space enough for a few remarks on the part of the clerk's report, given in your issue of the 5th, and in which he says: “The ouly thing in connection with it (the present marriage law) that has given any serious embarrassment is the failure of min- isters to make proper and legal return after they have performed the marringe ceremony, which basin many cases weriouly interfered with obtaining necessary legal information in regurd to marriages.” Now, in the first place the requiring of “min- isters” to go to the court house and make entry in the proper book there of @ marriage is au inconvenience, indeed to some of us a nuisance of no smail character. Some ‘“min- isters” are constantly employed and after a day's routine of pastoral duty the little time left to be spent in the “study” is seriously in- terfered with if one has to trouble his mind with the remembrance that he has a marriage or two to be entered by him in person at the court house. If this thing were a necessity, made so by the experience of marriage returns in the states, there might be a good reason for retaining this most annoying feature in the preseut law. But it not only is not so done in many of the states (I know not of one where it is done); it is really in part to be blamed for the very “only things’ which the clerk of the court says in his report it is, “that has given” the ‘serious embarrass- ment” about it. Some “ministers” wait until they have five or six “returns” to make and thus let one trip to the coust house do for the bateb. Again, » “minister” in making ble “return” of a marriage goes to the court house, calls for the volume indicated on the license, and makes his entry without the clerk's inspection. How liable is an aged “minister,” who bas bad eyes, to make a mistake. Or, if hurried or worried by heatzof summer or by some im- portunate pleader for help—tramps and im- Posters, perhaps, who torment “ministers” more than any other class of men—how easily might s minister under such circumstances make a mistake. Let me give an instance of a mistake occurring in a case of marriage I per- formed little over a year ago. It was the case of one of the most estimable young couples, resident and native of this city. In afew days, as soon as I could possibly com- mand the time for the trip, I repaired to the court house, secured the proper volume and, to my amazement and amusement, I found that some “minister” had been in before me, whether within afew hours or a day I cannot say, and in making his “return” had actually in an ignoranc way recorded himself as having performed the marriage of this estimable young white lady and gentleman! Of course, he couple he did marry were left without a “return” on the record and I suppose they are left so still. It required the most careful erasing not to tear the leaf of that volume and to leave the paper thick enough to receive the proper entry. But this shows the annoyance of requiring the “minister” to go to the court house to record the marriages he performs, and it also shows that this requirement 1s not the most practical way of obiainiug the “re- turn.” Suppose in the case of the marriage I cite above from my own experience I had died or left the District before making the record at the court house, then the “legal return” in that case would ever have been wanting. Now, the remedy ie a simple one and in every way more practical, more coavenient and de- cidedly superior and more certain of “returns” than the present mode. It is this, and is used in Maryland, adopted there = few years ago: When the clerk of the court issues a license let ters. it be in three parts, perforated, to be divided acros ite width. ‘The first part is the clerk’s authorization to the “minister” to perform the marriage; the second is by the minister to be filled out as the “legal return” to the clerk of the court, and the third the certificate of mar- riage filled out by the minister and handed b: luim to the couple. The return to the clerl can be immediately made by mail and bis entr: of it always assured and be uniform in all cases. Mausrer. ae SEs A Clergyman Fired at While Preaching. While Rey. Samuel A.

B.Cleaveland of Milford, Mase., is the sister of the Norcross Brothers of Boston, the fianouy butld- ers. Ina long and interesting mtatement (which will be went in full to any one who wishes it), Mrs. Cleave- lund says that a few years ayo she had a severe fora of nervous dyspepsia, the symptoms being PALPITATION OF THE HEART, Burning sensation in the stomach, fainting spelis and an AWFUL DEATH-LIKE FEELING from which she oiten thought she should never recover. She was ‘TLGLD AND LANGULD all the time and did not dare ty ie down for fear of @ fainting spell. She had six different physicians, but none did her any Kuod. Que cay, reading about Hvod’s Sersaparilia, she decided to try it. The fainting spclls grew less, woon ceased wholly, her appetite returned, she sleeps weil and has increased FROM 88 TO 132 POUNDS. She bas not been so well for 25 years, Goesall her household work easily. To HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA She ascribes all her improvement and is ready to con- ‘vince any one of the merit of this medicine.

Ed i. UESDAY, MARCH 8, 1892. AN INTERESTING COLLECTION. Old Englich Caricatures Picked Up m Mexico —A Lady's Hobby Horse. Mr. W. E. Curtis recently received from Lieut. A. C. Baker of the navy a volume of old English colored caricatures and other illustra- tions, which was picked up by him on bis travels through Mexico in the interests of the Chicago world’s fair. The illustrations ere by the best caricature artists in England in the early part of this century and give an excellent idea of the cartoons as well as of other periodi- cal illustrations of that period. Among the pictures are views of the “‘Indy’s pedestrian hobby horse,” which is quite sim- ilar in appearance to the safety bicycle of to- day. A description accompanies the cuts, which says “‘the machine is an ingenious apology for the Indies; it equal power with the fentlemen’s, will turn as short, and is not so able to upset, having the perch below instead of above.” It is of the most simple kind—two light wheels running on the pty line, the front wheel turning on » pivot, which, by menns of a short lever, gives the direction in turning to one side or the other, the hind Wheel always running in one ' direction. The rider being conveniently _ seated on the small square board, leans forward Against a well-padded cushion which terminates with a cross balance board, on which the arms rest to balunce the machine if inclining toc much either way; in this position the drapery flows loosely and elegantly to the ground, wheron the feet are pinced, as in walking. An interesting fact in connection with the collection is the manner in which it found its Way into Mexico and thence to Washington. In 1834 an Englishman by the name of Bur- roughs came to Oxaca, married a Mexican Woman and died in 1846. “The book to his wife's family, was sold to Spaniard, who disposed of it to'a collector of curiosities, and from him it was purchased by Lieut. Baker. otidrorediiniis Poor Children and School Books. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue of March 5 you publish a letter from the Hon. Earnes Compton, in which he complains of unjust criticisms of his speech on the District bill, and particularly of his remarks on tho free book clause, and he reasserts what he then said, that the reason he opposed any increase of the amount recommended by the committee was that the burden would fall the heaviest on the small property holder, the one who paid tho greater portion of all taxes and the least able to bear any increase, He says no one will deny this assertion that the small prop- erty holder is the heaviest taxpayer. Doeshe for- get that large class whoown uo property at all, only their daily labor at small wages, who yet must pay the taxes of the rich in the shape of exorbitant rents. Surely Mr. Compton will not deny that the renter pays ‘the taxcs on the property he rents? ‘Ihis large class must not only pay the taxes on the property they rent, but also the insurance and repairs, which, to- gether with the necessaries of life for their families (and this class of people always have the largest families), othaust their meager i md leave nothing for the purchase of clothing, to suy nothing of school bovks. And it is oiten the case thut they have to keep their children from school because they are not able to buy the necessary books. The matter of clothing they could manage someway, for thank God, the time has not yet come in’this country when a boy in a ragged coat can- not lcarn as readily as one dressed in broadcloth; but the purchase of books is where the pinch comes; the frequent changes in text books oftea prevent the younger chil- dren from using the books purcliased for the older ones. Sometimes a child cannot get grade without a change of books. ‘Therefore 1 for one think that it would Le not only just but politic to aid this deserv- ing class of citizens in securing for their chil- dren an education, just because by so doing you enable them to enjoy a small portion of the wealth they have so largely created. By educating the youth you assure the stability of society and good government, an@ as in past wealth has been compelled to call on poverty for protection in time of trouble #0 in the future could you contidently rely on those who own no property to protect and respect yours. I had thought Mr. Compton would have been the last man to raise his voice against the free book clause (thereby denying to the children of the poor an education), for the reason that among the beneficiaries of this act would be mi i stituents—men who every office he has ever held, and that has been his life, for he has been kept in office by the votes of these men and their fathers from his youth up. Now, I do hope that Mr. Comp- ton will acknowledge that he has been wrong for once in his life, and, like the honorable man that he is, do #0 no more, Taos. M. Mirsteap.
