Last evening the tin, sheet tron and cor- nice workers of the District met at Grand Army Hall and formed a local union under the international union of their trades, thereby breaking off from the Knights of Labor. ‘There were about seventy-five men present when Mr. V. A. Schultz called the meeting to order and invited the Knights of Labor to mention what, in their opinion, was an objection to the formation of the proposed union. The result of the invitation was more in the nature of a cross-examination of those in favor of the union than a state- ment in opposition. In support of the proposition to form the unfon Mr. Charles E. Schroeder stated that the Knights of Labor could not secure to the men protection or give them standing with the craft in other localities. He was followed by Mr. D. B. Wheeler, an organizer sent out by the international association, who said that there were over 30) tinners in the city, of whom but thirty were Knights of Labor. He claimed that the union would enable the members to maintain their present wages, which were higher than paid elsewhere, and prevent the non-union members from coming {n and undermining them. In forty-nine unions out of sixty-seven he said that wages had been advanced from 10 per cent to 30 per cent since last January; in fifteen unions there had been a reduction of from one to six hours per week of labor without reduction in pay. = Organization was then effected by the election of the following officers: William H. Becket, president; J. T. DeVaughn, vice president; Fred Roeder,recording secretary; P. A. Gorman, financial secretary; F. W. ‘Hildebrand, conductor, and F. 8.’ Baxter, warden. The meeting adjourned until the 19th in- it. —— Sunday School Meeting.

The schooi of law of Georgetown Univer- sity opened last night with introductory talks by Hon. Martin F. Morris, Joseph J. Darlington, George E. Hamilton, R. Ross Perry, Tallmadge A. Lambert. Rev. J. Ha- vens Richards and M. J. Holfort. About 200 men were present, and their enthusiasm was intense. The members of the faculty were applauded, and every mention of the name of a distinguished man was greeted with outbursts of cheers and plaudits. Mr. Morris said that he extended a cor- dial welcome, and trusted that their asso- ciation would be in the future as it had been in the past, like that of one large and harmonious family. The countenances of those present showed him that it would not be necessary to urge his auditors to indus- try. He took it for granted that they had not come to the school nterely for the pur- pose of gaining a diploma for exhibition purposes. A diploma in itself amounted to little, but only as an evidence of hard work was it worthy of much remark. The throng in attendance testified to the prosperity and popularity of the school. Popularity was sometimes as dangerous to an institution as to an individual, but the school would en- deavor to maintain the just renown which it had won. The school had so advanced that it now stood inferior to none, and by wisely directed energy it would be made the first. The assistance of the studen was essential to the accomplishment of this end. He explained that Hon. Jeremiah M. Wilson, who had been chosen as the prin- cipal speaker of the evening, was unable to be present and that Mr. T. A. Lambert would address them. Mr. Lambert explain- ed that he had been served up to the stu- dents first on the same principal as dictat- ed the serving of the weakest and thfhnest dish as the, first course at a feast. He would not express a diffidence which he did not feel, for he felt that they were all united by a bond of brotherhool. He ad- monished the juniors that they should not consider the elements proposed, apart from the general scheme of the law. The law was universal; it was the evolution of so- clai relations, not made, but formulated. It had existed from all time, but had been developed in time. They were not to engage in the study of anything strange and artificial. The law was a part of their being. They were simply to ascertain those relations of men that were as immutable as reason. They should not confine their investigations merely to the rules laid down in text books. Like a wise traveler, they should seek a summit from which they could take a general observation. They had j treatises to enable them to do this. They should enter upon the new scholastic year duly impressed with the fame of their alma mater. ‘The next speaker was Mr. R. Ross Per- ry. He was stormily applauded. He had been talking during the day not merely for love, but was talking tonight purely for love. He assumed that there were two classes of students present. One class es- sayed the law as an accomplishment and as the finish of a lberal education. Thi was wise. At one time this had been @ great custom in England and on the con- tinent. The speaker continued, that the mere accumulation of facts amounted to lit- tle. Training, to be effective, must tend fo make man @ thinking and a speaking force; something new out of it. Law was perhaps the study most calculated to develop the reasoning powers of man. He said some earnest words to the members of that great and too numerous class who had to work for a living and who were bent on the study of the iaw for business reasons. This class was increasing year by year, and the struggle was becoming sharper. it was a mistake to adopt the profession of law, un- less the applicant for success felt that he had a decided calling. for it. The few got ahead and the many were left behind. This should not be a discouraging thought. They smight all hope for a front seat. Mr. Perry said that one of the results of this growing legal competition was that examinations for the bar were increasing in rigor. When he had applied for admission to the bar, the only ability he had been called upon to show was an ability to pay for and open several bottles of champagne. He had stood the test. A different rule prevailed today. The diploma of no college would ad- mit a man to the District bar. He must have passed through a three years’ course and must submit to a written examination. ‘This examination was conducted by the junior members of the bar, and they were intent on showing that they knew more than anybody el: If the students would bear well in mind the lectures and the studies, and keep up a constant wrestle with their books, the re- sults could not be regretted. Mr. Darling- ton made a brief speech, in which he com- plimented things in general and prophesied & prosperous year. Mr. Hamilton spoke of the glorious history of the school and of its wonderful progress and of its greater future. Mr. Morris then explained that a man had been called to preside over the moot court who was sure to make it a suc- cess. Mr. Holfort, the judge of the court, thereupon made a few remarks. Rev. J. Havens Richards, president of the univer- sity, indorsed and confirmed all that had been said by those who had preceded him. In addition to the two classes named by Mr. Perry, he had noticed that in all col- leges with which he had been connected that there were two other classes, the mini- mizers and the amplifiers. The former were students who were determined to learn as Uttle as possible, and the latter were bent on learning as much as possible. He fear- €d that the former class was the larger. Students of the law should belong to the amplifiers. The scope of the law was as wide as the universe. The lawyer should have a great general knowledge. He she ald be read in logic, philosophy, ethics, bistory, lterature and elocution. The classes were announced and the meeting dispersed. es COLUMBIAN LAW SCHOOL. The Regular Term Opened Last Night With Interesting Addresses. The law department of the Columbian University opened most successfully last evening at the college building, corner of 15th and H streets, with a larger attend- ance of students than ever before. Prof. J. C. Welling, president of the unive-sity, pre- sided at the opening exercises, which were made very interesting by short and bright addresses by different members of the faculty, as follow: Justice David J. Brewer of the United States Supreme Court on the law of cor- Porations, Judge Walter S. Cox of the Dis- trict Supreme Court on the law of real and personal property, of contracts and of crimes and misdemeanors; Judge William Maury, formerly assistant attorney general of the United States, on equity jurispru- dence, common law ‘and equity pleading and of the law of evidence; Judge Andrew ©. Bradley of the District Supreme Court on criminal pleading and practice of criminal law; Mr. Henry E. Davis, ex-assistant dis- trict attorney, on the history of the la Mr. Wm. F. ‘Mattingly on practical com mercial law, and Mr. William G. Johnson on legal catechetics and common law prac- tice. It was announced that Mr. Johnson will conduct quizzing classes, composed of all students in the undergraduate depart- ment, that by his catechetical analysis the teachings of both lectures and text books may be impressed upon the memories of the pupils. This is a new feature and promises to be very popular. It was also announced that Mr. Justice Harlan, late of the Bering sea court of arbitration at Paris, will re- turn to the city in a few weeks and resume his lectures before the Columbian law de- partment on the subjects of the constitu- tional jurisprudence of the United States, of the law of domestic relations, of torts and of commercial paper. The popularity of the different members of the faculty was clearly demonstrated by the loud and hearty welcome accorded them by the pupils. ——— $26 to Chicago and Return by the Colambian Express — Pennsylvania Ratlroad.

The Registration Officers at Work Over the County. ROCKVILLE, Md., October 8, 1898. On Sunday, the 8th instant, Miss Eliza C. Fawcett of the Vermont Avenue Christian Chureh, Washington, will address the Chris- tian Endeavor Society of this place on the Breat Montreal convention. ‘The dedicatory services of the new M. E.

Miss Nellie Hite of Charlestown, W. Va., who has been visiting friends in the county for some time, returned to her home a few days ago. Mr. John Hough of Elmer, this county, will be baptized by immersion in the Poto- mac on the 2d instant by Rev. W. H. Wolfe. This will make the eighth person immersed in that neighborhood during the past month. In the orphans’ court today the last will and testament of Thomas W. Clagett, de- ceased, was admitted to probate and record and letters testamentary on the personal estate of sald deceased were granted to Adelia Clagett, the executrix named in the will; bond, $100. Letters of administration on the personal estate of Fletcher R. Veitch, deceased, were granted to Fletcher P.Veltch; bond, $600. Leonidas Ricketts, administrator of Jacob Ricketts, deceased, filed list of debts due deceased. John T. Higdon, exec- utor of Matilda Case, deceased, filed final release of Ruth Higdon. Benjamin T. Walt- ers made application for administration on the personal estate of George H. Walters, deceased. The renunciation of Phillis Lyt- ton and Alice Lytton, widow and daughter of Samuel Lytton, deceased, was filed in court. The court will meet on both Tuesday and Wednesday of next week for the trans- action of business. ‘The officers of registration commenced their four days’ sitting in the several elec- tion districts of the county on Monday. The manner of conducting the registration in some of the districts, and especially in Whea- ton district,is sharply criticised here by mem- bers of both political parties. That the pro- visions of the present registration law are capable of being turned into acts of despot- {sm has been fully demonstrated in several instances. While all well-meaning citizens of both parties are in favor of restricting the right of franchise to those clearly en- titled to exercise it, they fail to see the necessity of attempting to disfranchise those whose business or pleasure may have caused @ temporary absence from the county dur- ing the past year. It is a matter of congrat- ulation that the business of hunting up these cases and bringing them to the attention of the officers of registration {s confined to a few new-comers in the county and is not participated in by the residents. ee AM ——> -—_ AMUSEMENTS, “As You Like It."—The performances of “As You Like It.” for the benefit of the Liberty bell fund, will not be given al fresco, as was at first intended, for the management has concluded that the weath- er ts too uncertain to be trusted for an out- door entertainment. It has been decided to give the performance in Convention Hall, and to postpone the date until Tuesday next. An effort will be made, however, to make the stage resemble a natural wood- land, and trees and shrubbery will be ar- tistically arranged, with a waterfall in the rear, to make the picture as realistic as possible. Messrs. C. B. Hanford and N. Dushane Cioward, with characteristic en- ergy, promise that all the arrangements shall be completed by the date now fixed, although the labor involved is something enormous. So far as the actors and singers are concerned everything is complete, and to add to the attraction of the perform- ance a large orchestra, under the Hrection of Prof. E. N. Stine, has been engaged. The large number who have already en- gaged seats will now have to exchange them, but this will involve little trouble. ‘The lady patronesses favor the change of plan, and are sanguine that the immense hall will be filled. Banjo Recital.—The attendance at Me*z- erott Hall last night was not large, but the program included many good performers on the mandolin, banjo and guitar. The clubs that participated were the Ladies’ Banjo Club and the Columbia Musical Club, end the Individual performers were sisters, Mrs. Gorham and Joe Cul'en. Mr. Cooper gave a flute solo, and Miss Kate Lackey, Messrs, Chas. West, Matt. Wrisnt, Arthur Middleton and Ben. Judson sans. Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens delivered her lecture on “The Girl of the Fut bury Church last night, and greatly Inter- ested a large audience by her bright and witty remarks. Prof. A. S. Boyd will tonight deliver a free lecture upon Memory at Masonic Tem- ple. This will be the last of his free lec- tures. Big Sale of Seats.—The lobby of Albaugh’s was crowded all morning with people pur- chasing seats for the Manola-Mason Com- pany, and it reminds one of a Patti sale. ‘The gold souvenirs which will be presented to the ladies arrived this morning from New York, and they are without doubt the handsomest theatrical souvenir ever pre- sented in this country. ——>__ ANACOSTIA.

The school year of the National Veter- inary College was inaugurated at the col- lege, No. 1277 R street northwest last even- ing, with an attendance of more than double the number of students who pur- sued the course last year. President D. E. Salmon delivered a brief introductory address, touching upon the remarkable growth of the college; the advancement of the profession of veterinary science during recent years; the superior advantages en- jJoyed by students in Washington, and the aims of the National Veterinary College particularly. Dr. Charles W. Stiles was then intro- duced, and delivered the formal opening address. Dr. Stiles spoke of the relations of the various medical sciences to each other, and especially the relation of vet- erinary medicine to zoology. He then re- ferred to the domesticated animals and man from a zoological standpoint, giving what is known of their antiquity in do- mestication, wild animals. This was followed by a dis- cussion of the Immense variation In lives to be found in different breeds, and in va- rious individuals of the same breed, to- gether with an enumeration of a number of cases of reversion, heredity, monstros- itles, animal intelligence, &c.’ Dr. Stiles urged the class to pay particular attention to these matters, and make themselves vet- erinary scientists rather than horse or cow “doctors.” The hospital of the college, at the cor- ner of 19th and H streets northwest, will be & feature of the institution, and free clinics will be held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings of each week, at 10 o'clock, when free treatment will be given to animals of Persons unable to pay for such service, and all having sick horses are invited to bring them at those hours for gratuitous treat- ment. One box stall has been reserved in the hospital and placed at the disposal of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, free of expense. ‘The lectures of the college will be con- tinued at 4 p.m. today, and the National Veterinary College may be counted among the most ‘successful of Washington's many educational institutions. —_—.__ A MANDAMUS ASKED FOR. Mr. Long Wants to Be Restored to the Pension List. Yesterday afternoon application was made before Judge Bradley, of the District Supreme Court, by Charles D. Long for mandamus against the commissioner of pensions, the object of the application being the effort of the petitioner to compel the | Fra commissioner to restore Long to the pen- sion rolls, from which he had been suspend- ed by order of the commissioner. The pe- tition for the writ of mandamus sets out the citizenship of Long of Detroit, Mich., and that while serving as a private in the eighth Michigan infantry during the late war he received a gun shot wound in the arm, which required amputation, and at the ‘same time he was struck by @ bullet which passed through his hip bone and lodged in ‘the groin, where it still is. He sets out further that he was pensioned in 1863 at $8 per month and that his pension has been gradually increased to per month, but that on the Ist of September, 1898, his pension was suspended and he re- celved notice to report to the surgical board at Detroit for examination. He alleges that he has applied to the commission for a rev- ocation, pending his apearance before that board, of the order suspending his Pension, and his application has been re- fused. He asks, therefore, a mandamus to compel the commissioner to continue the payment of his pension. Judze Bradley directed that a rule issue against the commissioner of pensions, re- quiring him to show cause on or before 10 m., on the 19th instant, why the petition ould not be granted. —_.__— Found Sick.
