A DEMAND FOR THE PALLOT IN THE DISTRICT— MONEY ASKED TO EXTEND THE FREE TEXT-BOOK SYSTEM-—URGING THE PASSAGE OF THE EIGHT- HOUR LAW—SPRECHES AND RESOLUTIONS. There were three main topics for disenssion at amass meeting held last night at G. A. R hall under a call fronr the District Assembly, K. of L., and the Federation of Labor. These topics were “Suffrage in the District.” “Free Text Books and Edneation” and the “Bight- The suffrage question, however, commanded most attention, as the speakers who were to discuss the other topics left them to speak of suffrage The ball was about half | fitted with people, the weather having a most discouraging effect on the attendance. Mr. 0. Labor, presided. The vice presidents chosen were Messrs. Mulford, Spohn and C. J. Wells, | aud the secretary, Mr E. W. Oyster. i SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRICT. | The first speaker was Rev. Alex. Kent, who spoke on “Suffrage in the District.” Mr. Kent | described the present form of government of | the District as an anomaly. There was, he sid, an impression throuh the country that this'citp isa burden on the nation at large. He referred to a pamphlet he had recently seen prepared by Mr. W. C. Dodge giving a his tory of the financial relations that bave existed between the capital erty and the federal gov- Jernment. He cited at some length statistics |from this pamphlet, showing what had been | done and given dfiginally by the itizens, what thé ippropriated at various times and what the citizeus had paid, To show that the people of the city had done more than their share the people could not, he said, even build a schoo! house with their own money Unless Congress first appropriated the y. The city has rested, he said, uncer unjust burdens all these years which it ought not to have been required to carry. ors, he seid, mistakenly imagined that at improvements that lave ken place have been made at the expense of S. Montz, vice president of the Federation of | cut down other éstimates of the District Com- but he had not touched that one, for he had been governor of a.xtate where the freo text-book system had been tried. He read from statistics of various states showing that the free text-book system had increased the at- tendance in the schools. It had been estimated that $160,000 would give all the books wanted. He estimated that after the schools were once provided an anndal ap ition of 30,000 would be all that wo Tequiréd to main- tain the system. . Speaking of suffrage, Mr. De Land said he could go into homes in this city and find men whose forefathers fought in the revolutionary war, in the war of 1812 or in Mexico and who were disfranchised today. The record showed that 16.872 citizens of the District went into the late war and fought for the preservation of the federal Union, and’ yet all they bad today were the bones of their heroes. The question had occurred to him what sort of commotion it would ereate if Mr. Glad- stone should rise in parliament and offer « bill to disfranchise the people of London, or if He thought there woul those towns. If a law was passed taking away the right to Vote in one «mall village in Germany the world Would point to it as an outrage Mr. De Land said the people here bad lost their right to vote becanse of the few black be a lively time in black men all had been disfranchised If they suffrage for all; that every man should have system, THE EJGHT-HOUR QUESTION. Mrs. Anna L. Diggs of Kangce was the last Speaker. She was to speak of the eight-hour law, but gave much of her time to seifr: She said she sympathized with her hearer the first time in her life she looked in the of an audience of men who were in the same situation as herself. She spoke of the organ zation in Kansas a year ego of the Woman National Alliance of America. The Washing- ton branch, she said, was organized less than two months ago. They had set_their tecth to- er that the men of the District should ve the ballot, but uot until the women have , too. ‘The moat of them did not believe in suffrage indiscriminately given.

An Interesting Lecture Delivered at the Cath- olie University by Mr. snell. The public lecture at the Catholic University yesterday afternoon was delivered by Merwin Marie Snell on the subject of “The Buddhism of Buddha.” He began by sketehing the history of the Buddhist religion: ita division into the three great camps of the Great Vehicle, the Little Vehicle and the Middle Vehicle; ite national modifications, resulting from fusion with earlier religions, and its subdivision into hundreds of widely different sects. The Buddhism of Buddha, as distinguished from all later developments and corruptions, is to be found in the older books of the Tripitahe or Southern Canon, which date to the time of Buddba himself or of his immediate disciples. Buddha was opposed entirely to metaphysical and theological speculations. ‘the Vedantists had transformed the soul into a temporary illusion and God into abstract being, imper- sonal and unconscious. Buddha saw that such asoul and such a God were practically, non- entities. He satirized the Brahmans, who could not show the way to the sun or moon which | they had seen, and who yet professed to sbow the way to a Brahma whom they had never seen. | He forbade the worship of any supposed god or gods, or sacrifices of any kind. His gospel | related to the present life, and was designed primarily to lead to a atate of perfect indiffer- ence and repose, which would insure immunity from the pains and sorrows of existence. ' Wow IT 38 SUMMED UP It was summed up in the four noble truths: 1. Existence is full of pain aud misery. 2. This suffering results from desire or at- tachment to existence. 3. Suffering can be put an end to by the ex- tinguishing of desire. 4. Tho means for the destruction of destre is the nobie eightfold path of right’ thoughts, | right aspirations, right livelihood, right knowl edge, right meditations, right dctions, right speech and right contemplation. Buddha recognized in a haman being noth- ing but the ve aggregates or “skhandas:” Bodily organization, eensxtions, the six senses (including the mind), ideas and’ consciousness, He ST. PATRICK’S DAY.

He had heard it said that no other city in the country was so well governed. Yet when he saw a statement that the per capita of the eity was five or ten times as great supposed to be badly gov- erned then he doubted whether they had been so well governed here after uli. Itwas hig) tume that the people of this city were comin; forward and having something to say in the managen jaits.

He was in favor of suffrage District, but he did not want any distinction between men and women. If they were to have suffffige in the District they should at least be abreast of Wyoming.

THE RESOLUTIONS. Mr. E. W. Oyster then read a series of reso- lutions prepared by a conmmittee composed of Messrs. Paul T. Bowen, Jos. K. Potter and E. W. Oyster of the District Assembly, and M. F. fiobbs. O. 8. Montz and E. J. Dakin of the Federation of Lavor. The preambles set forth the dixfranchised condition of the Distriet and the evils which it was claimed flowed from such a state of atlairs; the wrong done by the House of Representatives in cutting down the appro- priation for free text books to $12,000 and | re the appropr‘ation asked for new sehool | buildings so as to provide for but one instead of five new buildings: the persistent viola- | Hon of the existing eight-hour law, and that the action of the House m proposing to pply £300,000 of the surpius revenue of tue District to the payment of the debt District for the — “dry-water and the new water “mains, ary to provisions of law, would inflict reat Uijury to yarions interests of the District, urow laborers out of employment and bring sistress on the community. ‘The resolutions “that we demand for the District of Columbia those rights of local self-goverument which are in harmouy with democratic princi- ples and are enjoyed by citizens of the United States eve: ywhere except at the national capi- al; that we demand of the Fifty-second Con- gress an appropriation sufficient to provide reo text books for all the pupils of the first grades and to erect the school build- ngs which the trustees and Commissioners have cevtitied will be necessary in the future: e only for the for the that we heartily unite with workingmen who | im all parts of the country have indorsed, and | are petitioning for the of, an effective law moking eight bow y's work for all persons” employed or on behalf of the United the District of Colambia, and ess twemact such « at the That we condemn the forced @ surplus and the seizpre of 1,500,000 which las been paid in taxes by our 1 by section 3 of the District om bili, and we demand that the f the debt for water (which we have d) sisull be left to the operation of the sinking fund, and the surplus sali be expended schools, sewers, streets and other public That we will present our case to nizations with whom we are allied pantry aud secure their co- efforts to make the foregoing is effectave Ihe resolnuons were adopted. Mr. Oyster stated, in answer to the remarks by Kev Mr. Kent, that the organized working- men sought to secure suffrage in the District; that so far as he was concerned, and he be- lieved his associates were of the same mind, that he would vote to give women the same rights as they enjoyed themselves. Hecessities. THE TEXT BOOK QUESTION, Mr. Theo. L. Deland was introduced to speak on the subject of free text books. Mr. DeLand remarked that four years ago he offered 1m the Committee of One Hundred an amendinent to the school bill providing for free text books. The amendment was voted down. The Com- mittee of One Hundred subsequently did adopt the suggestion. When they cominenced the struggle for free text books the District Com- Bissloners were opposed to it, but they were ow zealous advocates of it ‘They had,at least gained the principle of free text books. Con- gress had decided to give free text books for some of the grades. The principle being set- | tied they had now to see how far they could have itapplied From the Senate he believed hey cout get just what the Commissioners estimated — 335,000, He ind « proviso written out whieh he would ask a Senator to submit when the bill came be- Sore the Senate. He was satistied that if they vealed to the gala: nd the sense of jus- © of Congress they could get what they asked of they were reasonable His proposition was that mouey enough be given to maintain the free text book system in six grades, and to provide each year for adding an additional grade In this way in tive years they could xet free text books m every grade. They ought to have them im every grade now, but they would not be able, he believed, to obtain that all at once from Congress, Superintend: eut Powell told him that every teacher in the public schools said that the free text book sys- ‘tem, so far as applied, was a success. When they struck from the oul the amount asked for {ree school books they doubled the amount of the tax ou citizens for school books. What the government paid £30,000 for the citi- zens would have to pay £100,000 tor. He argued that it was cheaper to the com- munity to provide free books which could be used over again and again than to have parents buy books at higher prices which at the end of the school year were of no further value He called attention to figures showing 4 remarkable sbrinkage in the attendance on the sebools beyond the fourth grade. One reason, he said was the cost of text books. It cost $3.10 to start child im the fifth grade and the cost increased in the upper grades. This did not amount to much to the millionaire, vut itdid to the man who got only €1.50 a day and had three or four children. There as only one thing for him to do, to take bis ciuldren from the schools or to go and confess hinnself a pavper. He houored the child that would go and get these books by # confession Siow, but the child ought not to be compel to do it. He recommended that Devate fight up to the Commas right up to the C jouers’ estimate. moticed that the Secretary of the Treasury 4 muuch higher plane until the hours of labor were shortened.

After they had gotten that law they would not get all they wanted so long as th industrial system continued aud men were obliged to take work for even twelve or fifteen hours a day in order to live. A vote of thanks was given to the speakers and the meeting adjourned. ——— THE BODY IDENTIFIED. It Was Harriet Gillie Who Was Killed by the Katlroad Train, Yesterday afternoon at the sixth precinct station Corouer P on held an inquest in the case of the colored woman who was killed on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad at the 9th street crossing, on Maryland avenue, Wed- nesday night. The body had been identified as that of Harriet Gillis, about fifty years old, who had lived with h@r husband in Spring- n’s alley. She was well known in South Washingtan, where she was a member of at Jeast one of the large colored societies. THE DEAD WOMAN'S HUSBAND. The first wituess called was an old colored man who gave his name asJobn Gillis He seid that be lived at No. 637 Springmann’s al- ley. The coroner asked him if he identified the body of the dead woman as that of his wife and he.said he had not men her. He wus at the morgue about 2 o'clock in the morning again about noon, but he couldn't see the body. After visiting the dead room he re- turned and said that the body was that of ais wife. Her name was Harriet Gillis. He did not see her yesterday after she left the house in the morning to go to her service place, near 10th and C streets southwest. “Which way would she be likely to return home?” inquired the coroner. “Just that way,” he replied; “she usually crossed the track at 9th street and then came down as far as 7th street.” ‘The coroner handed the old man a bunch of keys taken from his wife's pocket and the 25- cent piece which she dropped from her month when she was picked up. One of the keys had been broken, and a button hook taken from her pocket lookeds though it had come in contact with a part of the railroad train. The husband said that his wife was a memb of asociety and that the society would take charge of her body, CONDUCTOR ELLIS’ sToRY. William E. Ellis, conductor on the train, tes- tified that he was standing on the steps of the engine as the train approached the Sth street crossing. The gatea were down and the track was clear. Witness jumped off and ran to the telegraph station for orders. The engincer jumped from the engine and followed him after the engine had cleared the crossing and the tireman remuined in charge of the engine and pulled the train down until all the cars bad cleared the crossing. him off “und hie stopped the train. After receiving their orders they started up to- ward the engine, and as they were gomg along witness 1 what looked like « bundie of der the front Wit tie rags on the outside of the ral u tracks of the sixth ear from the engine. ness called to the engineer, who was just ahead of him, and they went back aud discovered the ‘sbody. He then went for a policeman, a discover any evidence of the body having been dragged?” asked the coroner. “Yes, sir,” replied witness. “She was struck onthe crossing and had been dragged about forty feet. There were blood stains on the track at the crossing.” Witness said that there were no blood stains on the engine or the first five cars. There were oue car and a cab behind the woman. He thought that the woman had attempted to pass between the cars while the train was in mo- tion. When examined by the coroner witness said that the engine could not have struck her,as he saw that the crossing was clear upou the ap- proach of the train’ ‘fhe train was moving about as fast as a person would ordinarily walk. POLICEMAN TREADWELL. Policeman Treadwell testificd that when he reached the scene of the accident the woman's body was lying beneath the trucks of one of the cars. Witness described the whnner in which | her body had been mangled and told of finding | her umbrella about forty feet from where her body was. Witness also told of the coin that dropped from ber mouth. He took a lantern and examined the train, but failed to find any blood or pieces of flee on any except the car under which she wae found. The train, he thought, struck the woman right near the post to which the gute is attached, as he found pieces of flesh there on the tragk. One of the jurors questioned’ witness co cerning an empty bottle found in the woman's pocket and he said be fudged it was a whisky bottle because it wee w pint flask. He did not smell the bottle to learn whether there had been liquor ir itor not. Wm. H. Bailey, the engineer, was called and he corroborated what the conductor said. GATEMAN CLEARY. T. W.

Several days ago a thief entered # room in the house of Mrs. Ella Gavin and robbed » small writing desk ofa sum of money Besides the money there were several articles of jew- ely in the desk, but they were not touched. After taking the money the paper in the desk | was set on fire, but only a small portion of it was burned.

When applied | to a state after death it meant in Buddha's own words “that utter extinction which leaves noth- ing whatever Uebind.” Buddha's disciples constituted an order of | mendicant friars called Phikshua and of beg. ging sisters called Bhikchunis, ‘Together they | coustituted the Saugha or Buddhist chureb. They took no vows and were free to leave. at y time. They were forbidden to take more than one meni a day, to indulge in any amuse- ments, to use any Ornaments or personal dec- orations or toown any property except their simple yellow habit, begging bowl and a few other personal necessities, ‘They were not al- lowed, however, to perform severe austeriti or to inflict pain upon their bodies in any way. Lay people were called “servers,” and were not considered members of the Buddhist |church. But they could gain merit by su porting the friars and sisters and repeating the formuls: “I take refuge in Buddha, I take ref- uge in the law, I take refuge in the order TOTAL ABSTINENCE. They were bound only by five simple pre- cepts, one of which was “abstinence from in- toxicating liquors.” So Buddha was the first probibitienist! Another precept was abstinence from the de- struction of life, either animal or vegetable. Buddha forbade confidence in rites and cere- monies, and the ceremonies of his community were at first simple in the extreme. He is said, however, to have authorized the veneration of four sacred places—those of his birth, his en- lightenment, his first preaching and his death. His relics were divided into eight parts and sent to as many different place hese were from the the first places of pil- gtimage and meditation. No images were made of Buddha or his disciples for several cen- turies, but afterward the veneration of these and the relics of himself and disciples, who Were esteemed as acshets or libtrated sages, grew into the elaborate ceremonial system now existing in many buddhist countries. _dmescareombat THE INSURANCE MEN, A Dinner Tendered by the Insurance Press to Mr. Max Cohen. One of the enjoyable affairs connected with | the meeting of the Southeastern Tariff Associa- tion was the supper tendered Max Cohen, editor of Views of this city, at Chamberlamn’s last | evening by the insurance journalists in attend- ance at the meet At the various meetings | of the association in ti y the insurance press have been indebted to many courtesies | from Mr. Cohen. Hie has always done every- thing to make the visits of his contemporaries pleasant and the din: result of a desire on their part to show their appreciation of these courtesics. The affair was informal and thoroughly pleasant. ‘ol, 8. Toby, editor of the Daily States of w Orleans, gracefully presided at the festive board as toastmaster? “Among the other guests were Maj. L. Mims, president; L. M. Tueker, vice president, and Mr. 8. Y. Tupper, seere- tary of the Southeastern Tariff Association, and Mr. Lewix Blackford of this city. The following insurance journalists were present: C. A. Janney and R.O. Alien, Weekly Under writer: Geo. W.

Acapemy oF Mustc.—Having finished his tour of Mexico Mr. John I. Stoddard last mght | at the Acudemy of Music delivered his lecture jon ‘“Jerasulen: and the Holy Laud.” This proved tohean absorbingly interesting talk and Mr Stoddard’s large audieuce—tor the snow and sleet did not prevent the Academy being filled—followed him with close atteation to the end. One feature that the lecturer em- phasized was the fact that in Joppa and in many other places, thouzh the land has been } buried to the depth of twenty-five or more feet beneath the debris of battles and sieges and | revolutions and all manner ot catastrophes, there yet remain many ot the primitive features: | of life which were common 2,000 years age, | such as grinding grain with. a’ couple. of fiat stones. The pilgrims who goin througs,dressod in all manner of fantastic costumes, dirty and ragged, to visit the sceues> of Holy Writ, were alluded to as well as the utter stagnation of life in that desolated land, and the lecturer said that it seemed asif the curse that fell upon those ancient inbabitants and seattered them to the four winds of heavan fell !aiso upon the land from which they fled. ‘The |lecturer also referred to the fraud of the so- called sacred places, with but few tions. But he said that out of the dust and ruin and fraud the simple life of Jesus shines like a star through a rift in storm clouds, and he paid a tribute to the genius of the Jews—that.extra- ordinary people who, banished from their birthland, have left it to aj tly irreclaim~ able rottenness and de und. scattered over all the rest of the earth, have wondetf: illuminated the history of other peoples achievements of the greatest brilliancy, Iflus- trating this fact he showsa number of portraite of celebrated Hebrews, sucis as Custelur, Gam- betta, Mendelssohn. elf, Montefiore and Sieted vebemsatty sainst tao bara’ Sangeet jected.

Nearly every number was encored, but the chief successes were made by Mme. Pauline Maina, Signor Maina, Mr.Cos- tello, Mrs. Murphy and’ Mr. Epping. ‘The mu- sical directors were Messrs. John Treanor, who | originated the git: L. E. Gannon and Ma- j riano Maina. Misses Loulie Boone and Nanni¢ Kearon and Mr. Wm. Waldecker were the ac- companists. Special services were held yeaterday at St. | Fatvick’s Church in houor of the patron saint jot that congregation. Grand high mass was celebrated with Rev. Father Walker as celo- brant, Father Dulaney as deacon, Father Sul- livan as sub-deacon and Father McGee as mas- ter of ceremonies. ‘The choir, under the direc- tion of Sig. Maina, sang Gounod’s Messe Solen- nelle with exccilent effect. Rev. Dr. Loughlin, chancellor of the archdiocese of Philadelphia and president of the Young Men's Catholic Union, delivered the panegyric to St. Patrick and spoke earnestly and eloquently of the lite of that saint and his influence not only upou the people of Ireland, but upon the whole church. He urged an imitation of his noble Christian virtues by all and upon members of the church a renewal of their vows tuken at the altar at their confirmation. Several dis- tinguished clergymen were present, among whom was Bishop rector of the Catholic University, and who, it will be remembered, was for many years assistant pastor of St. Patrick's Church. a A.
