The Corcoran Gallery, which has been closed for the summer, will be again opened tomor- row. The institution will recognize the pres- ence of the Grand Army veterans in the city next week by dispensing with the charge for | admittance which is made three days in the usual week, so that during the encampment week the gallery will be open free of admission every place. The directors of the gallery had hoped | to be uble to keep the gallery open on every | evening during the encampment week. for the benetit of the visitors, but have been obliged to | relinquish the plan, The gallery is cut off from | its electric connection, and even if this could | | be arranged it would be impossible to properly. light the building. Even last winter, when ouly the ordinary demand for lights was’ being made over the city, great difficulty was found in obtaining sufficient hgbt for the proper ex- | amination of the works of art. With the extra | demand for electricity, due to the illumination of the avenue and private buildings during the | encampment, it would be impossible to obtain | the strong light required. —_—_— CONTAGIOUS DISEASE HOSPITAL. What Health Officer Hammett Says of the Necessity for It. Health Officer Hammett thinks it’s a shame that this city has been without a contagious disease hospital so long, and now that the old smallpox hospital is to be put in order he thinks the citizens will bave an institution which will greatly benefit them in case of an epidemic. To a Stan reporter the doctor said he anticipated -no visit of an epidemic, but he necessary in every city.

WILL OPEN UP A DELIGHTFUL COUNTRY. Majer O'Driscoll said the proposed route would open up the most delightful and health- ful locality around Washington. The natural actions of the country would cause pleasure seekers to flock out for a breath of pure | air and the sight of the scenery, and he! firmly beheved the road would be a pay-/ ing one from the start. The country « d the Sligo and Northwest branches | were known as presenting some of the prettiest bits of scenery in the vicinity of Washington and with railroad facilities would be open to the public. In bis talks with-the men owning property along the line he had found a wide- spread and earnest desire for the road. The owners were inclined to be liberal in every way nd offers of land, timber and money were the general rule. VIGOROUS ACTION ADVISED. Mr. Vance Lewis advised vigorous action in the matter. The affair should not be allowed to drag, but should be immediately pushed to ‘The company should be organized sonstructed without regard to the ‘This road in the end must negotiate with the newline, asiteavailability asa feeder was self-evident.

On motion of Mr. O'Driscoll it was deter- mined to appoint a committee of three, which should agree on thirteen incorporators and re- port to the next meeting. The chair appointed as this committee Mr. George Bonifant, P. Clarke and B. F. Peters.

Hanceck Command, Unien Veterans’ Union, the Recipient Some Eloquent Speeches. ‘The ladies of the Woman's Veteran Relief Cuion, No. 3, of the Union Veteran Union, pre- sented Hanceck Command last night with a handsome silk fag. A business meeting of both organizations took place before the presentation exercises in the hall corner of 7th and L streets, Shortly after 9 o'clock the doorkeeper an- nounced the arrival of the Indies and the com- mand rose to receive them. Despite the in- ement weather there was a large attendance, nd when Mrs. Georgie Van Fleet, the president | of Union No. 3, stepped forward with the hand- some flag the hail was well filled. She said: ‘d upon this evening by the ladies of 3 (and I assure you I appreciate the | favor they have conferred) to present to you this flag the emblem of the greatest nation on earth, It was when rebellion had sprung up to cut the halvards of our starry banner that our boy* went forth with brave hearts and buoyant step to defend the greatest nation on the globe and the grandest cmblem that ever floated to | the breeze. It is now twenty-seven years since our Loys crossed the Long bridge, returning home toa peaceful life with their laurels won.

H. E. Burton, commander of Hancock Commend, accepted the flag in an ad- dress and then he introduced Gen. ‘com- mander-in-chief of the Union Veterans’ Union, who in a few stirring remarks told how rapidly | the order was extending in every section of the country. He referred to a visit made through New England and the enthusiasm with which he had been received at various points. He predicted that in five years every old soldier who was cligible, that is wko had seen service at the front where he bad heard the zip of the minnie bullet and the shriek of the shell, would be found within the ranks of the Union Vet- erans’ Union. After the singing of t!e “Red, White and Blue” by Mr. Johu C. 0. Redington, Gen. | Green Clay Smith was introduced and in his usual happy manner, peying a high tribute | to woman in general and to the ladies who were auxiliary to Hancock Command in particular. He spoke of the unjust treatment the ox-Union | soldiers are receiving at the hands of those in suthority, who should honor and encourage them, and alluded to the fact that ex-rebels too frequemly receive greater consideration than the Union veterans, their widows or Me closed with an eloquent fag, which thrilled the audience and elicited en- tiusiastic and prolonged applause.

When the work of improving the building is completed there will be. two" hospital wards, cach of which will hold fourteen cots, and besides these there will be three bed chambers, dining rooms and kitchens. In case of an epidemic, the doctor says, it will take butashort time ‘to erect additional frame buildings for the accommodation of the sick. In order to protect the city and establish the best quarantine possible under existing circum- tances the health officer has called upon the superintendents of the railroad and steamboat companies to lend their assistance in the mat- ter. To that end a circalar has been addressed ‘The circu- lars sent to the railroad superintendents read: “As a precautionary nicasure for the prevention of the introduction of contagious diseases within the District of Columbia I have the houor to request that yon will issue orders to the conductors of passenger trains arriving over your roud within our limits whenever a suspicious case of illness occurs upon their train before bringing the car in which it exixts to the depot to have the car side-tracked at the first siding after discovery of the disease and immediate notice given this office by mes- senger, telephone or otherwise. jose sent to the steamboat companies are similar to the above with the exception that the request is made to detain the sick persons on the boat until the health office can be notified. — A MISSION CHAPEL. | It Will Be Dedicated on the 25th of This Month, On the 25th of this month the mission chapel of Epiphany Church, at 12th and C streets southwest, will be dedicated. The erection of the chapel was begun late last fall from plans drawn by Robert Stead, architect, and is a handsome structure of brick and stone. It has a frontage of fifty-one feet by a depth of ninety-three and is thirty-eight feet in height. Its interior is of oak, the ceiling being of hard woods. The choir will be seated directly in front of the organ chamber to the left of the chanel, the organ being the work of Hook & Hastings of Boston. ‘The stained glass of the chancel was put in by Tiffany & Co. of New York. An oak screen separates the nave from the aisles. The building will be heated by steam and will accommodate 600 people. The chapel has been erected at a cost of $18,000, and in connection with the mission home immediately adjoining it repre- sents an expenditure by the Epiphany Church parish of $50,000, every cent of which has been vaid, placing both the chapel and home free of ail incumbrances, The mission home, where | all the work of the new parish is conducted, is admirably adapted for the purpose. On the first floor is a dispensary and Sunday school; on the second, the library and men's meeting room,and on the third is the day nursery and pas- tor's suite of rooms. Just who will be pastor of the new chapel has not been definitely deter- mined upon, although it is probable that the matter will be settled very shortly. ——— Three Larceny Gases. ‘There were three cases of alleged larceny tried in the Police Court today. Thomas Simms, acolored man, was convicted of having taken a silver dollar from Hattie Williams. He was | given sixty days in jail. James Smith denied that he stole a bale of hay belonging to Mr. E. M. Merrick, but the roof was against him and he was given thirty ve in default of a fine of $10. Hiram Gray, tried for the alleged larceny of | four penknives from Simon Ford, was told by the judge that while he had a moral suspicion the proof did not convict and he was acquitted. > The Cattle Market.

At the meeting of the Sovereign Council, Sons of Jonadab, after Taz Star's report closed yesterday, W. H. Newhall was elected vice sov- ereign chief, vice A. 8. Dent, resigned. The motion to admit women to the privileges of the order was laid on the table. The best means of extending the order was discussed and it, finally decided that the best results would izers in those districts not now covered by the order. Last evering a largely attended and very enthusiasuc snniversary meeting was held at the National Ritles' Armory. Grand Sovereign John J. Weed delivered ‘a warm address of welcome, congratulating the order upon its prosperity. Judge Samuel C. Mills was intro- ticed by him as the founder of the order here twenty-five years ago. After explaining how it was that the order came into existence Judge Mills concluded by saying: “Our plun was to make it an honor to be pledged for life to total abstinence and to make it a disgrace to break that pledge. But for that provision, such were the temptations through | which I bad to pass, I might not have been here to address you tonight. It is well known to you that I have not been active in the prose- | cution of the work within the past year. The work has been in the hands of those gentlemen who are here with you tonight. They have car- ried it on well and nobly, and it is to be hoped that their example may from this time forth stimulate others to follow their footsteps in the | work.” At the close of Judge Mill’s address a de- lightful musical program was rendered, in- cluding vocal and instrumental numbers by Messrs. Jas. Loveless, H. K. Patterson, John Fisber and Wm. Gibbs; a violin solo by Miss | Florence King, and a recitation by Miss Magle. Mr. Burton T.
