Rey- nolds Grand Army Post, A Defense of Veterans and Pensions— Silver Anniversary Well Celebrated —Pleasant Musical Exercises. The silver aaniversary of John F. Rey- nolds Post No. 6, Department of the Poto- mac, G. A. R., was celebrated last night at Metzerott Hall with eloquence, melody and applause. The stage was flanked with plants and flowers, and the rear of the platform was hung with a mammoth Union ensign in the midst of whose folds was an oll painting of Gen. Reynolds. Blue and gold, red, white and blue were the predom- inating colors. The star attraction of the evening was Corporal Tanner. He was at his greatest intensity and spoke with his usual telling vigor. A tincture of politics pervaded his remarks, and he several times laid violent hands on the pension policy of the democratic party. His sentiments evoked storms of enthusiasm. He prefaced his speech with the remark that it was a mistake to dignify it by the word address. He had been invited to talk on the subject of the Grand Army of the Republic, and he would refrain from the popular issues of silver and the tariff. Few people properly appreciated the beginning and the deeds of the Grand Army. Abraham Lincoln,next to Almighty God, had relied on it to redeem the nation. It had redeemed the nation. This fact was history. ted out by the vituperation, damnation of enemies. It would be ac- knowledged when the snarlers and the growlers had passed the dust and merited that if they would bring back the unity of the land, the earth and the fullness thereof should be theirs. They did not want the earth. They asked but for food and shelter for those heroes who had grown lame and halt in their country’s cause. They asked protection for their aged and infirm com- Trades. Young men could not appreciate the days of '6l. Then the hopes of men ran as high as now; prospects were as bright then as when this wave of reform had struck the country; the bloom on maidens’ cheeks was as brilliant as it is today, and the lips of the sweethearts tasted just as sweet, yet the boys of that period yielded up all these things upon the altar of their land. The thunder of the guns of Sumter summoned them to prove themselves the worthy son: of worthy sires. He was willing that other in after years should say whether they had stood the test. When they fell into those graves which were yawning for them he was willing that their records should be searched. The soldier was not content with the condition of affairs today. Public senti- ment had been educated against him. The democratic press had been cowardly abu- sive and the republican press had been cowardly silent. “Take your choice accorfing to your po- litical belief." He cared not very much whether the country ‘was under a repub- lican or a democratic administration, he felt that it was safe so long as the 7,000 Grand Army posts were scattered through- out the land In every city, town and ham- let. These comrades, next to their loyalty to God, were loyal to their country, and the nonor of the land was safe in their keeping. He then compared the readiness with which the soldier had quitted military life and returned to his civil duties with the angry waves of the ocean as they recede and once again merge into the placid deep. The nation could never repay the debt it owed its saviors. The total amount of pen- sions paid since 1865 was less than one-half the sum which had been paid in interest to bondholders. When Secretary Carlisle was sending out checks as interest on coupons, nobody had heard that the rights of the owners of those coupons had been suspended. He then told some stories tending to ridicule the present conduct of the pension office. He said he had been told by an attorney that the claim of the widow of a soldier, and who was working for ten cents per hour, had been withheld till she furnished additional evi- dence as to whether she possessed real es- tate, bonds or stocks. One veteran who was the victim of gunshot wounds in the arms and legs was called on to furnish evi- dence that he had not come to grief by his own vicious habits. He stigmatized this sys- tem as infamous, and with italic accents said, “Oh, the infamy of it.” The aplause was deafening. He had nothing to say aguinst the rebel brigadier who represented his _peo- ple. He thought the south could teach the north @ lesson in the payment of honor to those who had fought with them. Political Preferment was not open to men in the south who had not fought and suffered in the lost cause. Corporal Tanner then paid a tribute to the southern women. ‘The confederacy would have been beaten within two years but for the southern women. Every man in gray who stood in the ranks knew that if he did not fight like a fury, he would return home to have heaped upon him the contempt and scorn of the women. Soldiers must stand shoulder to shoulder, or they must fall. If they wanted to pro- tect thelr comrades they must keep in rank and fight as a unit. They did not ask for charity. They asked only for that honor and consideration which was due them. They had filled the bloody chasm that part- ed the sections with 400,000 of their noblest sons, and had brought back a beautified and unified nation. They had riven asun- der the Infamous doctrine that man had personal property in man; that a master had the right to sell the babe from its mother’s breast or part man and wife. He was confident that when the last call of nations was sounded, the United States would answer “Here,” at the front of the procession. Other Proceedings. Chaplain W. H. Gottwald rendered the invocation, and a drummer and fifer from Kit Carson Drum Corps sounded reveille. Seve1 numbers were sung by the Grand Army Musical Union, with Mr. E. D. Tracy as director and Mrs. Tracy as accompa- nist. The songsters were as follows: Cole- man, Proctor, Garmon, Hodgkin, Player, Sayles, Callen, Johnson, Wheeler, Edson, Winans, Rose, Helyer, Hawkins, Calve: Smith, Brown, Garrison, McKey, Gardner, Fernalde, Clarke, Seibold, Boswell, Moore, Windsor, Reed, Snow, Hensly, Jewey, Mc- Keldon. Miss Clara Rosafy sang the “Star Spangled Banner” with inspiriting grace and the theatrical effect was heightened by two standard bearers, one Mr. Samuel H., Jacobson representing the army and the other Mr. Henry Jacobson, representing the navy. Fancy dances were performed by the following precocious pupils of Miss Lou Tretler; Master ugene Leroy Walter, Miss Mue Klopver, Miss Alma Klopper, Master Arthur Dennison, and Miss Clara Reichenbach. Mr. W. L. Cooper won hon- est applause by his skillfully played flute solo, “La Favorite de Vienne.” Mr. Walter E. Garry recited “The Pride of Battery B” in excellent style, and Mr. M. Wright sang a baritone solo well. Comrade Thomas Ca’ ver recited an original poem, “Reynolds, | and Prof. Arnold W. Myer played a spirited plane solo, Miss Mamie Buford Smith sang “L'Ardite” to the accompaniment of Miss Etta Austin; Miss Cora Shreve and M Charles Shreve executed a Spanish dance, and Mr. Edward S. Smith and Mr. David L. Reynolds impersonated “The Jiners.” Messrs. Judson and Brayton operated on the mandolin and guitar. A gipsy dance, under the direction of Prof. J. H. Vermilya, was gracefully done by the following young ladies: Miss Masie Burnham, Miss Edith F. O'Bryon, Miss Birdie Mitchell, Miss Cora Shreve, Miss Minnie Hawke, Mrs. John Gough. Mr. Frank Carde!lo accom: panied the piano. Gen. Green Clay Smith said a few parting words and “Lights Out” sounded. Adjutant D. D. Brennon, who was to have delivered an address on'‘The Or- ganization of Our Post,” was unable to fill his contract by reason of illness. A large audience attended. —EE Meant to Protect Her. ‘A young colored man named Thomas Christmas, who had no particular means of support, was given a room in the house of Mr. and Mrs. Fitzhugh on C street southeast. He was given a good home and had to do but little work for his support. Last week Mr. Fitzhugh died, and then Christmas waated to be a husband to the young widow. She objected to such an ar- rangement, but he insisted that she need- ed a protector, and he had made up his mind that he was going to act in that capacity. Still the widow declined his offer, and he threatened to kill her {f she did not’consent. ‘The widow had him arrested, and the case was tried in the Police Court yesterday. Judge Miller heard the statement of the widow and called upon the prisoner for an explanation. “What do you mean by this sort of con- duct?" asked the court. “Well,” answered the prisoner, ‘her hus- band died, and what was I to do, boss?” “I know what you can do now,” added the judge. “You can give bond in the sum of $300 or go to jail for ninety days.” He went to jail. It could not be blot- | of the blame. | oblivion. In 1861 the promise had been made | he had run across the track and was at- ABOUT GEORGETOWN. The Potomacs Give a Pleasant and Enjoy- able Dance, The Injuries to the Small Boy Hurt by a Street Car—Some Small Fire, ‘The Potomacs’ supplemental dance to the summer series was held last night in the boat house ball room. It was a formal and highly enjoyable one, the attendance being only of pleasant proportions. Mr. Quinn acted as master of ceremonies. Some of those present were: Miss Bates, Miss Hodges, Miss Mauger, Mr. Maddox, Mr. Altemus, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Cameron, Miss Pulizzi, Miss Dixon, Miss McKim, Miss Kinsinger, Miss Simms, Miss Parker, Miss Coulter, Miss Foster, Miss Turner, Miss May, Miss Ford, Mrs. Morsell, Mr. May, Mr. Blount, Mr. Varnell, Mr. Miller, Mr. Snyder, Mr. Oswell, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Washington, Mr. Nolan, Mr. Gasch, Mr. OfMey, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Cameron, Mr. Porter, Mr. Sargent, Mr. McGuiggan, Mr. Merritt, Mr. Ashford, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. and Mrs. Doores, Miss Drane and Miss Laub. The Street Car Accident. For the injury of his child a few days ago Mr. Temple Belt holds the railroad company entirely responsible. He says it was attrib- utable to the high rate of speed at which the car was running at the time. The child, however, has been questioned on the subject ind relieves the company of at least a part “I fell down on the track and vilification and | the old driver wouldn't stop his car and ran over me,” was what he told a visitor at his ome, in his simple, childish w: When questioned further it was found that tempting to get back again, when the con- veyance struck him. To stop a downward car at once on reservoir hill, where the acci- dent occurred, is almost an impossibility. The incline is too steep. Too Many Tramps. Alexandria, Montgomery and Fairfax counties are being infested with tramps to an alarming extent. They don't appear to be the yeaceful knights of the road who usually spend the pleasant months among the verdant hills and in the barns of the country, but a disagreeable, destructive set who demand food and shelter, instead of begging for it. ‘They, or many of them, carry firearms, and several valuable dogs belonging to ‘neighboring farmers have been killed for daring to interfere with the worthless beings. Reports say that chick- en houses are being depopulated, milk houses relieved of their contents and other depredations committed. Remonstrating farmers have in many cases come out at the little end of the quarrel. The farmers’ wives stand in such fear of the tramps that they are afraid to venture out of the houses after dark. The Alexandria county people, those living prin- cipally between ‘the aqueduct and Falls Church, say they will combine and drive out the tramps if they do not speedily dis- appear. Small Fires. At 3 o'clock this morning fire broke out fn the old office of the Borden Mining Com- pany, at the foot of 36th street and beneath the Aqueduct bridge. The loss sustained was small. ‘The building is the property of Mr. Campbell of Mt, Pleasant and his brother, a resident of Ohio. ‘The blacksmith shop in Warehouse alley, owned by the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, caught fire at about 6 o'clock this morning. The damage to the building, however, was but slight. The shop 1s run now by Mr. Daniel Whalen, the company having recently sold it to him. Canal News.

Ly oh i 5 ? nf i On the 14th of next month the Washing- ton Florists’ Club will inaugurate a four days chrysanthemum show. the third an- nual show of the club, and the club pro- poses that it shall be not only the finest ever held in Washington, but that it shall be one of the best ever held in this country. ‘The show will be held at the National Rifles’ Armory on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of November, being open during the afternoon and evening of each da The show will not only be an immense com- petitive exhibition of chrysanthemums, but as well of roses, carnations, orchids, pitcher plants and Darwin's beef-eating and fly- catching plants. The purpose of the club is to make the show not only a highly at- tractive affair, but also an educational one, and to the latter end the pupils of the pub- lic schools will be admitted free when ac- companied by their teachers. The extent of the show will require the necessity of engaging both halls of the armory, and electric lights will be numerously used in the decoration of the halls. A fine large orchestra will be engaged, and nothing left undone to make the show a most attract- ive and enjoyable one. Mrs. Cleveland's well-known love for flowers has induced her to consent to become one of the many patronesses of the show, and the club has already received assurances from ladies high in official and social circles of their enthusiastic and earnest support. While the exhibits for competition will be confined to local exhibitors, many magnifi- cent exhibits from New York, Bostva, | President, Philadelphia and other cities will be re- ceived. In addition to the large premium list, very many special prizes will be ofter- ed by the patronesses and merchants of the city. The judges will be selected from out- side cities, and will be men of prominence in their calling. It is the puropse of the club, at the conclusion of the show, to dis- tribute the cut flowers among the hospitals and other similar institutions of the Dis- trict. Mr, C. F. Hale will be the superin- tendent of the show, and wil the following committee of arrangements: Robt. Bowdler, W. 8. Clark, George Field, Alexander Gordner, A. Gude, J. H. Ley and G. W. Oliver. The officers of the club are: ~ F. Gude; vice president, W. H. King; recording secretary, G. W. Oliver; corresponding secretary, J. Boyle, and treasurer, Adolphus Gude. ‘The rules governing the exhibition are as follows: Intendinr competitors must furnish to the secretary, not later than Saturday, Novem- ber 11, a list of articles intended for com- petition with statement of classes in which they are entered. Those sending plants, cut flowers, or oth- er articles for exhibition only, must give the secretary at least twenty-four hours no- tice, so that space may be allotted them. Non-members of the club, amateurs ex- cepted, wishing to exhibit, will pay an entry fee of 4. All receptacles for cut flowers will be furnished by the club. All exhibits must be in position by 12 o'clock noon on the opening day. All plants and flowers entered for compe- tition must be correctly named. The judges are authorized to withhold or modify the prizes if the articles are con- sidered unworthy. Judges’ decisions in all cases shall be final. No person will be allowed to remain in the hall during the time the judges are exceed 10xi2 inches. A certificate of merit will be any exhibit of unusual excellence. — Unselfishness Rewarded. ‘Thomas Dennis of Illinois has pointed Secretary Gresham's take the place of James Anderson, Dennis is a veteran of the Mext and lost both arms by the premati charge of a cannon while firing a an American war ship in |ranean.
