To the Editor of The Evening Star: In confirmation of the feasibility and good policy of municipalities furnishing their | own light is the fact that the practice is growing so rapidly, both in the United States and in Europe. In European coun- tries the practice has long prevailed to a large extent, and with most satisfactory results. It is but recently that any gen- eral movement for such purpose has been had in the United States, but so rapidly is it gaining in public favor that the “Elec- trical Engineer,” which has opposed the movement vigorously in favor of the pri- vate companies, in its current number of November 15 makes the subject its leading editorial article and says: “We must confess our surprise at the extent to which this method of spending public money has gained popularity.” It would have been much more accurate had it designated the new movement as a means of saving money to the public, but as it speaks in the interests of the monopo- listic companies and not of the generai public of course it cannot be expected to say or do anything against the interests of the companies. It states that the move- ment is much more common in England | than here, and says that were it not for this movement electric lighting would still languish there. No less than 120 local bod- ies have applied to the board of trade for provisional orders to supply electricity for this pul During 1893 fourteen towns and cities have voted in favor of municipal electric lights, involving an investment of ‘$2,500,000, and hearings have been had in eleven as to spending $1,500,000, while in| twenty-two the local government board has authoriz¢! the investment of $3,000,000 for this purpose. Altogether these forty-seven municipalities have taken action looking to the Investment of $7,500.00 for municipal electric iighting plants, and thirty-five are in_actual operation. The greater rapidity of this movement in Europe, and especially in Great Britain, is due to the greater experience which they have had in this line—it long having been common for the municipalities there to own and run their own gas plants, and by which they are able to furnish the public wit gas at an average of from 50 to 60 cents ber thousand feet, and at the same time turn a large profit into the municipal treas- ury, to be used for other purposes, or, if not needed, to proportionately reduce the taxes. Birmingham, for instance, sells gas at 48 cents per 1,000 feet and turns in $150,000 @ year to th the profits! Detroit is talking of investing $900,000 in In e city revenues besides from & municipal plant for electric Chicago, which has its sdditions are to be made, and in Minn apolis ft is said that a munici jant — tobe established. ee of which goes to show Ite ts becoming educated, and already had at he Proven the lighting. own plant, that the pub- the experience € as well as abroad has correctness of the statements of Prof. Ely of the Johns Hopkins Unt. versity that light and water can be sepplied cheaper by the municipalities than by pri- Yate companies and that such matters ean be managed honestly in this country as well as in Europe, notwithstanding the Political corruption that exists in some of our larzer cities.

As was expected, the horse show and the Elkins wedding drew a good many people from this city who would otherwise have had but few social distractions at home. The Warder-Thoron wedding was the one gala event of the weck here, and the beauty of the house, the artistic floral arrange- ments and the impressive dignity of the ceremony were the features that went to make such a delightful harmony. This wedding, like a good many others lately, emphasizes the fact that the giving of wedding presents is more general than ever. It is hard to see how in these hard times jewelers and silversmiths would be able otherwise to do any business at all. The trosseaux this fall also seem to be more complete and elegant than ever be- fore, even among those not blessed with princely ir comes. The first accounts of the Elkins-Bruner wedding in New York last Thursday scarcely did that really beautiful spectacle entire justice. Both in the bridal toilet and in the gowns the bridesmaids wore there were many novelties. The bride, for instance, had her white satin gown border- ed with sable, and the stylish dresses of shaded pink and green satin of her at- tendants, with their picture hats of black velvet and becoming plumes, were way ahead of anything thought of yet. The general beauty of the whole arrangement was even more perfect than was anticipat- ed, and was the talk of the day in New York, as well as those from here, who have since returned. As several statements, more or less incorrect, have been made as to the bride's conversion to the Catholic faith, it is said by the best authority that she was received into the church a very short time ago, and in New York city. The I street house that has been known from time to time as the Frelinghuysen, the Whitney and the Wanamaker man- sions will soon be referred to as the How- land home. ‘The house is full of workmen and extensive repairs are in progress. Years ago, when the Frelinghuysens made it their home, it was thought to be quite a_ fine dwelling. After the Whitney ball room was added and the beautifying touch given) the whole house, high tide in luxurious ap- pointments was thought to have been reached. But under the Wanamaker re- gime the transformation process was 80 complete that past glories were almost shabby in comparison. Now more changes are in order, and Mrs. Howland will make it her ideal before she takes pssession. An addition is being made to the front adjoin- ing the library and in the rear; the old car- riage house gives way to an annex that will be a Turkish and, of course, a smoking room. If the next dozen years witness as many changes as the past there is simply no limit to what the imaginative mind may conjure up as to the final condition of this fine old house. Mrs. Mary Butterworth Howe has re- turned from New York and is again with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin But- terworth, Le Droit Park. Mrs. Touzalin and her little daughter, | with Miss Lucy Corkhill and Mrs. Samuel | V. Miller, have taken possession of the Earle house, where they will spend the win- ter.

Master Edward Beale McLean, son of | Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean, was out yesterday driving in his handsome coach, drawn by four ponies, a recent purchase by his parents at the transportation build- ing at the world’s fair. The coach is a miniature reproduction of the big four-in- hands, the body a brilliant red and the running gear black, and its appearance on | the streets created no end of a sensation. Miss Isabel Woodward and Mr. John ree tt will be married on Tuesday evening one residence of Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Woodward, 2015 Wyoming avenue, and the ceremony will be followed by a reception from § to 10 o'clock. 5 The marriage of Miss Maggie Du Vall Watkins and Mr. Francis Fletcher Field, next Wednesday evening at Trinity Church, will be a brilliant event.

The Virginia Eleven Make a Big Score Against Georgetown, Yesterday afternoon the University of Virginia did up Georgetown College by a Score of 58 to 0. It was a sad surprise for the local boys, for they expected an equal contest, with every chance of winning the game. It was only a little over a week ago that Georgetown defeated the team from the Old Dominion by a score of 28 to 24. That game was played at Charlottesville, and a third game will now have to be play- ed to decide the claims of the two teams to championship honors. Georgetown yesterday as a team was weak all over, They could not advance the ball when they got it, and* they could not hold their opponents’ back when the latter got possession of the leather. The secret of the failure of Georgetown to make @ better showing is simply the fact that the University of Virginia put up a stronger game from every point. The interference of the latter team was extremely creditable. Both teams had a large number of adher- ents on the grounds, and when play was called the betting was even on the result. ——_——__ Bishop Coxe'’s Letter. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: You have recently published in your pa- per, @ paper which is welcomed into every household of this city, a most remarkable communication, alleged to have been ad- dressed to a most distinguished foreign gen- tleman, recently sent to this capital to very properly look after the interests of the Catholic Church in our country, Mgr. Sa- tolli, the papal ablegate. This publication has had the effect to draw into public notice a fellow Protestant clergyman of this alleged “chief pastor” of Buffalo, A. Cleveland Coxe, who signs him- self as bishop of western New York. Now I most respectfully submit that there can be no possible good, either to this city or to this country, by publications of this char- acter, We live. thanks be to God, too near the cradle of religious liberty in this coun- try, Maryland, to be affected by “commu- nications” of this character, which from time to time rise to the surface of life's stream, only to show by the very bubbles ;/on the surface that nothing else remains. | Pe, Sas ee Hee hs iter eee ty WAP | Hesuisn thle. take-ic that it is.not ih good A.

MeCreery and daugh-| pecially the public press, to wound’ the ter, Mrs. Stleriin, feelings of his fellow citizens who don’t happen to agree with him in matters of re- ligion. Such conduct is, to say the least, @ breach of Christian charity and tends to seatter thorns and thisties in the garden of life instead of contributing to making the rough road of life's pilgrimage brighter and more fragrant. It is so unlike the spir- it of the Master that one could scarcely be- lieve that a professed follower of Him would think of showing the love he bore God by exhibiting his hatred to his fellowman. Representatives of foreign countries, all of them acquainted with the canons of good taste, to say the least. must form a very shocking opinion of American courtesy at seeing such exhibitions of the exercise of “free speech,” and such use of a “free press." Permit me to observe, with the immortal Cahill, that controversial discus- sions of this character inflict a wound on true religion; animosities are engendered, religious rancor is inflamed, social har- mony is disturbed, the charities of the Gos- pel are extinguished and even the ties of long and mutual friendship are but too ften rent asunder by argumentative re- rimination of theological combat. Catholics, whose faith is fixed since the beginning of the new law. can learn noth- ing from these displays of modern religi ists. The mind and the heart seeking really a knowledge of the truth are more aptly fitted to receive the impressions of grace in silent prayer and in deliberate, dispas- sionate study, than in the columns of the ecular press through controversy. The distinguished rector of the Catholic University, his grace Bishop Keane, prob- ably had in his mind, among other things. when he spoke of Bishop Coxe as an “‘ec- clesiastical crank.” another communication or letter which this “chief pastor” of Buf- falo gave to the public, when, in answer to the sovereign pontiff’s invitation for all Catholic bishops to journey to Rome for the ecumenical council, Bishop Coxe ad- these words “Venerable Brother in Christ.” and then de- clined to accept the invitation. It is to be hoped that Pius IX. of happy memory, re- covered from the disappointment he must have felt at the absence of the “‘chief pa It tor” of Buffalo. ing day te quarre s too near Thank: so I trust that we have seen the last of such communications and letters that threaten to banish the good Jesuit fathers from the shores of the Poto- mac to seek a home, perhaps under the mantle of her most gracious majesty, the queen of the Sandwich Islands.

Albaugh’s.—A notable dramatic organiza- tion, the Coghlan Company, begin a week's engagement at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House on Monday evening, November 20, Presenting “Diplomacy,” the masterpiece of the famous French playwright, Victor- jen Sardou. The production given of it by the Coghlans has probably never been sur- Passed on any stage, and it is deservedly Popular with the patrons of the drama. The cast with which this charming comedy is to be given here is made up of the ablest artists in the dramatic profession. Be- Shannon and Mr. Robert Taber will appear in important roles, Messrs. John T. Sulll- van, Robert Fischer and Grant Stewart enacting the same parts taken last season. The Coghlans are favorites in this city, and the advance sale indicates a p' engagement. New National Theater—Mr. E. H. Soth- ern will commence his annual engage- day night, appearing in his latest success, “Sheridan. Academy of Music.—Neil Burgess’ “Coun- ty Fair” will be the attraction at the Academy of Music next week. Harris’ Bijou Theater—A new farce comedy, presented by a company that in- cludes some of the most successful enter- tainers of the day, is billed for Harris’ Bijou Theater next Monday night: The title of the play, “Just from the fact that it is a satire on im- migration. Drawing, as it does, its charac- ters from all parts of the world, the op- portunities for presenting odd and humor- ous types of human nature are very great. From a little community in which comic adventure is very frequent,and where melody and dancing are always in order. Perkins D. Fisher, the principal comedian, has earned hearty commendation for his work in this play. The company includes the dancer, Mile. Texarkansas. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—At Kernan’ for next week will be seen what is con- sidered one of the very best vaudeville companies now before the public, “The Meteor’s Specialty Stars,” under the man- agement of Mr. Geo. M. D. Walker. The twin stars, Larry Smith and Jos, J. Sulli- van, head the bill. Then comes Miss Adele ‘vis Onrie, the graceful wire and revoly- ing globe performer; Conway and Leland, the monopeds; the Brantfords, comedians and dancers;Miss Maud Raymond,America’s brightest comedienne; H. A. Albini, king of cards; Miss Nellie Maguire, the lit- tle English gem; Thorn and Carleton, the American duo; Smith and Fuller, the bril- lant musical artists, and the laughable comedy, “Malony and Cronsemien,” caus- ing a solid laughter of twenty minutes. Wonderland.—Many new and novel fea- tures are at the Wonderland Theater and Museum next week. Prominent among these are Professor Matthew's performing Siberian wolves, which will be seen in this city for the first time. In addition will be the celebrated Signor Cordona, the great European specialist, who has been termed the one man band, from the ease and facili- ty with which he performs on all manner of musical { Ison and Kamiski, the contortionists, in their celebrated sketch of “The Country Boy and the Frog,” and Professor Harris’ 1 marionettes. Imperial Austrian Band. —The Imperial Austrian Band that was heard in “Old Vi- enna” by those who visited the world’s fair, will be heard in Convention Hall on next Saturday night. This band has been re- markably successful since it started on its tour, its concerts having been attended by crowds on each occasion. It is unnecessary to speak of its excellence, for the press has been loud in praise of its work. Conven- tion Hall has been taken in order that the price of admission might be within the reach of all. As this band Ifas filled the Madison Square Garden in New York, it is also thought that the full capacity of Con- vention Hall will be tested by those who will attend next Saturday night. The Aus- | trian minister and all the members of the |legation have already spoken for seats, and [it is believed that the social element will |be as prominent in the audience as those who go from the love of good music. Universalist Church.—Three lectures are announced to be delivered in the Universal- ist Church for the benefit of the National | Homeopathic Hospital.

The other two lectures will be upon the world's fair by Miss Janet Elizabeth Rich- ards, whose recent lecture upon the “White City by the Lake” was so successful. The German Military Bands.—The two bands that were heard with such pleasure in the German village at the great fair will | give three concerts in Convention Hall on Tuesday, December 5, and Wednesday after- noon and night, December 6. There are | two complete bands, one the infantry band, that uses both reeds and brass, and the cavalry band, that plays on brass instru- ments only. The former comprises fifty- five men and the latter twenty-six. They appear in full military costume and wil make a parade before the concert that will undoubtedly attract great attention. The German legation here intends to make the visit of these bands an event, and it is un- lerstood nas already arranged for their, reception by the President. Trees on the Avenue. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I desire to present through the columns of The Star a few reasons why the Com- missioners should abandon their present intention of planting trees on Pennsylvs nia avenue, and also why the few “un- shtly” trees now remaining on the same thoroughfare should be removed. The first and most important considera- tion is that Pennsylvania avenue is a bus- iness street or avenue, and it would, in my epinion, be a great hindrance and menace to the merchants doing business on that avenue with trees, of whatever description, and no business street (that is, a street used ex- clusively for business purposes, as Penn- sylvania avenue, F street, 7th street and other business streets in the city are), in my humble judgment, should be planted bh trees or other immovable obstructions. he reason for this view must be obvious, not only to the Commissioners, but to every citizen, ‘st, trees in front of a bus- iness house must of necessity make the #tores dark, a most undesirable and very often a costly e‘fect to merchants in many branches of trade. To this proposition the friends of trees on business streeis may say that they afford shade for the protec- tion of the show windows and dispense with the use of awnings, but it must be re- membered that awnings are movable and re needed but a short time during each day in the summer when the sun is ex- ceedingly strong, but can be dispensed with a greater portion of each day under any circumstances and entirely two-thirds of the year, in which the tree would get in its deadly work. Again, merchants some- times spend many dollars to decorate the fronts of their houses with appropriate and | ne ry signs. The effect of this ex- penditure would be lost and the merchant on the avenue would be charged with lack of enterprise, if his signs were not seen of if they were dispensed with for want of op- portunity to show them. Again, trees on ja b Ss street interfere with the ap- proach of carriages of patrons, as the only place where a person wovld prefer to alight would be just where a tree stood. ‘This would be objected to by the patron, and he or she would avoid that store ever after, and here the tree is a loss pein ainbaibectatice adie al to the merchant, —<——— YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT Just now.

There are a few considerations, however, that may be mentioned that must appeal to every citizen. At present the width of Pennsylvania avenue is a source of pride to Washingtonians when they reflect Upon the narrow, alley-like streets of other large cities, and, while trees would not make the avenue narrower, they would nevertheless spoil the present effect (which can be improved by removing the unsight- ly trees now there), and the avenue would appear much narrower than it really is. The sidewalks, too, would be disfigured, and pedestrians would suffer by being com- belled to walk on an uneven surface, which Would be produced by the roots growing to the surface, as is the case on many Streets at this time, notably East Capitol Street. In conclusion I have to say that I can only find two instances where tree@ on the avenue would be beneficial. First, they would supply the District. with me from fines imposed upon , Second, thi supply the small boy with aye pong which to view processions. I therefore pray the Com: abandon the plan to plant mumsoners to more trees the avenue, and to remove the “unsightly” trees now there.

The most conspicuous objects in the Jap- anese section of the palace of fine arts at the world’s fair were three vases of unusual size and rare beauty. They were valued at $50,000 and a cash offer of $30,000 was made for them, but refused. They were consid- ered the largest; most perfect and aito- gether the finest specimens of Cloisonne ware ever manufactured. Those vases are now on their way back to Japan, and have been lost to the United States, a fact that counoisseurs greatly deplore. A Washing- tonian, however, has provided consolation. Mr. Kimon Nicolaides of No. 1205 F street communicated with the Japanese artist who had made the masterpieces, Mr. Y. Suzuki of Tokio, Japan, who is considered the foremost artist of his class, and who is the only one who ever attempted large pieces of this ware. Mr. Nicolaides learned that Mr. Suzuki had a set of three vases similar in design and execution to the set which he had exhibited at the fair, the only diffe-ence being that the vases are slightly smaller, a difference most People will consider a defect. Those shown at Chicago were about eight feet high and the others which Mr. Nicolaides has secured are about six feet in height. his rare prizes on exhibition at his F-street store, and Washingtonians are to be con- gratulated on having the opportunity of seeing them. Those who understand Clol- sonne ware rave over the splendor of the design and the richness of the color. Mr. Nicolaides has issued quaint little cards of invitation to see these vases, bearing colcred views of the exterior and interior of a Japanese tea house. Those who do not receive them will, however, it is announced, be just as welcome to the exhibition as those who do. ———_—_ America es the finest brand of cham- pagne. Cook's extra dry imperial.
