It is a great army, greater in its pro- portions than the school army of any other city in the country.” Mr. Wm. B.

A. A. M., in com- memoration of its one hundredth anniver- sary. The hall was handsomely decorated with cut flowers and potted plants and pre- sented a scene seldom witnessed in a temple of Masonry. The majority of the ladies present were in full evening attire. Mr. Donaldson's Address of Welcome. The entertainment was opened with an overture by the Marine Band, after which an address of welcome was delivered by P. G. M. R. B. Donaldson, who said: Ladies and brothers: I take pleasure in according you @ cordial greeting and warm welcome to this centennial anniversary of our lodge. Through the kindness of some of our friends who have consented to a: it us, we are enabled to present to you rather attract- ive program. The rounding up of a full century of existence by our old lodge is fraught with many tender memories for its members. There will, however, be no more )pleasant memory, I'am sure, than that, despite the stormy weather, we have so many of our lady friends present. May we hope that they will show some of the pride |in Masonry that we feel? I dare say each of you have some relative—either a father, |husband or brother—who is a Mason, and probably a member of Federal Lodge; and | You very often wonder what William, Hen- |ty or John, as the case may be, finds to take him to the lodge so often, and on num- erous occasions, I venture to say, you are inclined to doubt his story that he has been to the lodge. In regard to Masonry, I should |like to say just a few words here. If you should ask what Masonry is, 1 would say that it is a beautiful allegory. It has been handed to us from remote ages and asserts @ powerful influence over the minds of its members . It is neither a religious nor polit- One for ddults, as many seem to think. It is not | 4 relief association, although it contributes |to the wants of its members in distress, Masonry deals with man as a free morai agent. Though not a church, it has a creed, simple and beautiful, “I believe in God.” Notwithstanding this, Masonry has its ene- mies, who under the guise of religious fervor attack it whenever the opportunity offers. The works of all the | jes are con- | ducted in an orderly and dignified manner. There {s nothing frivolous or undignified | about the ceremonies. Nobody is required |to rideia goat or to climb a greasy pole. |All of the proceedings are based on the Bible and not a lodge ever holds a session but what the Bible les open on the altar. | After again extending to you on behalf of the members of this lodge a hearty wel- come we will proceed with the entertain- ment. ‘The Musical Program. Quite an attractive musical program was rendered. “My Love of the Old Sweet Days,” the first solo on the program, was | Sung by Miss Bertha W. Gibson. Mr. Chas. B. Hanford then recited “The Sta¥ Spangled ing and apprentice establishments. There | Banner; and after a Gavotte played by the | from her feet by a sudden Jerk, and, with | Marine Band, Professor N. Du Shane Clow- | ard sang a tenor solo, “For Thee, Marte," in |his usual accomplished manner. = | Jewel Song” from “Faust” was delightfully [rendered by Mrs. H. y Browning. Mr. W. D. McFarland’s rendition of “One Heart Divine," and Mrs. Marguerite N. Martin's solo, “My Heart at Thy Sweet Volce,” were received with much applause by the audi- ence. Mr. M. A. Groskurth of the Marine Band rendered a cornet solo, after which selections from “Robin Hood” were played by the entire band. The rendition of “Stella” |by Miss Blanche Mattingly and “The Skip- per of St. Ives” by Mr. Chas. E. Rice were both excellent. “The Guard Mount” was | then rendered by the Marine Band, after j which refreshments were served in the banquet hall. The lodge rooms were thrown |open for inspection, and all present availed themselves of the opportunity to visit them and examine the paraphernalia used in the | different Masonic ceremonies. The strains jof dance music soon called the assembly |back to the assembly hall and, the chairs j having all been removed, dancing was en- gaged in. Promptly at 12 o'clock the gath- ering dispersed and all pronounced them- selves as more than pleased with Masonic hospitality. A banquet will be held at the Ebbitt House tonight. The ladies are not, however, in- cluded in the list of guests on this occasion. Federal Lodge was instituted September 12, 179%, and the first Masonic ceremony participated in by it was the laying of the | corner stone of the national Capitol build- ing, on the 18th of that month. At the time of its institution the lodge was only fifteen | strong and was officered as follows: W. M., mes Hoban; 8S. W., —— Stephenson and J. W., Andrew Eastave. The member- ship is now 227, and Increasing monthly. | The present officers of the lodge are W. M W. T. Reed; 8. W., W. S. Knox, and J. W 8. Edwin Tomlinson. ee THE GOVERNMENT BINDERY. Mi |. C.

Espey to be | foreman of the bindery in the government | printing office, the place having been va- cant since the death of Mr. James White.

Steele Kellogg, the only son of Col. San- ford Kellogg, U.S. A., about 5 o'clock ye: terday afternoon shot himself with sufcidal intent, the ball passing near the heart | and causing death about 11:55 o'clock last | night. The act was committed in his room | at the family residence, No. 1819 I street | northwest. His aunt was in an adjoining room, having with him just come up from luncheon. Hearing the shot she rushed in and saw him place the muzzle to his breast and fire. As she ran to him he fell 'n her arms. He was at once laid on a bed and medical aid summoned. Drs. J.T. Sothoren and Elmer Sothoron responded, and Dr. Kerr was sent for, but Dr. Reilly came a short time after. The physicians were un- able to restore the young man to conscious- ness. He was about twenty-one years of age and was an exceedingly popular young man, especially at the Naval Academy, where two years ago he entered as a cudet at large, having been appointed by Presi- dent Harrison. After his first year's study he failed to average the percentage requir- ‘This result he keenly felt, but having a taste for sea life he secured the position of quartermaster on the steamship Ohio, in which he made severa! voyages between New York and Liverpool. Some time azo he resigned and entered the medical 4 partment of the University of Virginia. His father, mother and sister were spending the summer at Deer Park, and about ten days ago he spent a few days with them. On re- turning home it was noticed that he ap- peared restless, and complained of nervous dyspepsia, but few thought, however, he was suffering to such an ‘extent 1s to prompt the rash act. The physicians think he was undoubtedly laboring under a tem- porary aberration of mind. Catholte Notes, Students at the Home of the Marist Fathers are preparing for the new scholastic year. The formation of the classes will be preceded by a retreat from the 20th to the 26th, conducted by Rev. Father Gross of St. Paul, Minn. Rev. Father Forrestin, who has been abroad all summer, is expected home this month, and after a brief sojourn at his home in Brookland will resume his duties as provincial delegate.

The ‘Break in the Oanal Only « Slight One. A Woman Drowned, but Her Child Suved—A Big Real Estate Trans- action—Notes of Interest. On Sunday morning last there was a break in one of the banks of the Chesa- Peake and Ohio canal about forty miles this side of Cumberland. It was not one of those great “fallings” that in the past so injured navigation on the old waterway and provoked all classes of canal followers, but the simple slipping away of a portion of @ bank that had been played upon particu- larly hard by the rain. The news spread along the whole line, and at every telling the breach became bigger. One report re- ceived in Georgetown stated that it would take 100 men seven days to repair it. At headquarters The Star reporter was in- formed by General Manager Nicholson that the break was a comparatively small one, would be repaired by this afternoon and would not affect navigation enough to be noticed. Boats to arrive at Georgetown yesterday via the canal were as follows: No. 106, Capt. Swain; Florence, Capt. Marconier; Judge McComas, Capt. Gloss; J. H. Mertins, Capt. Reed; F. Flanagan, Capt. Wintemyer; Consolidation No. 6, . Fox; Consoli- dation No. 1%, Capt. J. Moore, and Here I Am, Capt. McAtee. Boats to depart yesterday for Cumber- land and intermediate points by way of the canal were as follows: C. E. K., jr., Capt. Bender; No. 135, Capt. Knade; No. 143, Capt. Wise; No. 136, Capt. Cornell, and Florence, Capt. Marconier. | Boats to clear Cumberland on Sunday for Georgetown were us follows: No. 102, Capt. | Penner, 117 tons; No. 125, Capt. Zellers, 118 | tons; E. R. Ladow, Capt. Hebb, 120 tons; | W. H. Cooper, Capt. Basher, 118 tons; Chas. McComas, Capt. Olphine, 118 tons;'G. L. Winslow, Capt. Keesucker, 112 tons; Eva, Capt.

The schooner Ellen Tabin, which struck a rock several weeks ago and sunk while lying near the Potomac Stone Company's wharf, is still beneath the water. She will | not be touched, it is stated, until the re- sponsibility for her loss fs fixed. Legal pro- ceedings have already been begun, The owners are Philadelphia men. Drowned in the Canal. Yesterday the Chesapeake and Ohio canal claimed another victim, this time a woman. | As the W. D. L. Waldridge passed what is known as Williard’s Spring, about two} miles this side of Antietam, Sarah Stride, | who was eraployed on the boat, was thrown | | her child, whose hand she held at the time, pitched into the water. Capt. Brown, who witnessed the accident, " immediately plunged in after the drowning ones, but, | after a hard struggle, only succeeded in |saving the child. The mother fought | bravely to keep herself above the surface, | but seemed to retard through her stren- Yous efforts the assistance of the captain. | The body was recovered. A Big Real Estate Sale. Yesterday “Rosedale,” the country home of the Greens, changed hands, negotiations which have been pending for several months finally terminating. The parties | named in the conveying instrument are Re- | becca A. Green and H. P. and Thomas E. Waggaman, and the consideration of the | transfer $153,000, $53,000 of it being paid in cash and a trust being taken on the prop- erty sold to secure the balance. It is un- derstood that about ten acres of the place, | with the house, were reserved. In the tract | sold there are about fifty-two acres of beautifully situated ground, fronting on both the Tenleytown road and the Massa- chusetts avenue extension. ‘The price ob- tained was therefore about $3,000 per acre. Rosedale will be subdivided and provided with all city conveniences. T. S. Queen has sold to Guy Beall, for 00, a desirable lot in Tenleytown. A public sale of house and premises 3077 M street (northeast corner of 3ist and M) was not made yesterday, owing to the bad | weather, the auctioneer thinking it ad- visable to postpone the “putting up” until ‘Thursday next. Mr. E. J. Hall's Death. Mr. Elisha J. Hall of Montgomery county, @ gentleman of wide acquaintance in Georgetown, died on Sunday, in his sev- enty-seventh year. During life he occupied many prominent positions in Maryland. He represented Montgomery in the legisla- ture, and before the war ran as a whig against William Singon Gaither for the Senate, being defeated by only one vote. In educational work he was ever in the front rank. Note As soon as the District obtains a clear title to the Fort Reno purchase, It is said, the work of laying the large water; main will be begun. Surveys of the route are now nearly completed. Fort Reno is said to be the highest point in the District. At the 126th regular monthly meeting of the stockholders of the Citizens’ Equitable Building Association, held last night, $3,500 was sold, being twenty-eight shares at an average of $125 per share. Prof. Henry W. Schlosser opened his new dancing academy last night at the corner of 3ist and M streets, with a large attendance.

CITY ITEMS. So Many Do It. Has it been your experience to call on a merchant who advertised “unheard of bar- gains” and then be politely informed «with regrets) that “we've just sold the last?” And were you not importuned to look at something else? These “unheard of bar- gains,” like Leander, the Invisisle Prince, exist only in the imagination of the ro- mancer—but the romancer writes fairy tales for the edification of children, and the mer- chant who hopes to mislead you by flimsy pretexts has “sized you up” as sullible—as gullible as those who swallowed “Gul- liver’s Travels” as a truthful narrative of adventure, being too stupid to understand the political import of the travesty. There is one Furniture Merchant Washington who is rarely sver out of an: thing in his line, and if it should happen that he cannot at once supply a cai! in his line he will promise to get the acedful thing 80 soon as telegraph and fast express can bring it.
