CRUELTY TO ANIMALS The Washington Humane Society met at 4:30 p.m. yesterdey in the parlors of the Young Men’s Christian Association, with President A. S. Pratt in the chair. The attendance was smull.The reports of Agents Wilson, Paine, Bradley, Blick and Key were read and approved. The report of the ex- ecutive committee was read. It called at- tention to the poor class of stock exposed for sale at the horse bazaar, and to the fact that the agents had been directed to pat®ol the street car lines and pay especial attention to car horses. Miss Peat, secre- tary, resigned during the year, and the va- cancy had been filled by the election of W. F. Stowell. It had been suggested that members of the society should wear a badge or button to show thelr connection with the organization, but the proposition had been rejected. The Washington Society had sent $150 and a specimen fountain to the convention of the Humane Association at Chicago. It had been made a present to the city of Chicago. John D. Shorthall on behalf of the Humane Society of Chicago had presented the Washington Society with a fountain, and Mr. Hayden of the District Water department had suggested that it be located on the reservation north of the Cogswell fountain. The report of the ex- ecutive committee condemned winter rac- | ing and had instructed the agents to make a@ test case. The committee on fountains had placed a number of new founts in po- ition and had repaired several others. The ‘eport of the treasurer was a long paper, nd showed that after the year’s disburse- ments, which had been about $8,000, there remained a balance of $1.83. A memorial to J. B. Taylor, a deceased member of the society, was read. President Pratt's Report. President Pratt submitted his report, which was a resume of the reports of the agents. He stated that the beneficent work in which they were engaged was steadily Frogressing and rapidly gaining favor, and receiving material aid from the citizens. He stated that the Humane Society had been well designated the universal charity, since more than any other form of benev- olent work it appealed to the sympathy and good will of all. In reviewing the past he had many reasons to be encouraged. The large material aid received had en- abled the executive committee to prose- cute the work more vigorously by placing more agents in the field for the protection of animals, resulting in the investigation of S54 cases of cruelty, being 4,813 in ex- cess of last year; 350 prosecutions, or 117 above the number for 1802; the fines impos- ed and collaterals forfeited amounted to nearly $1,500. A sum greater by nearly 3650 was realized from this source than last year. President Pratt thought that this proved the necessity of having more agents in our rapidly growing city. Messrs. Paine and Rabbitt had performed their difficult and often very trying duties in a most sat- isfactory manner. They had also visited the Zoo and had reported that everything there was in the best order and that the animals were Kindly treated and properly cared for by the efficient superintendent. The work for children had been committed to Mr. Samuel Wilson, a member of the metropolitan police force, detailed for that purpose, and whose services had been with- out expense to the society. He had investigated 329 complaints, 28 over the number for last year. One hun- red and eighty-four children had been placed in orphanages, asylums and other homes. The court had appointed him guardian for twenty-three boys. Twenty- two of these had been apprenticed to the navy and one to the army. A recommen- dation was made urging the enactment of laws to punish bastardy and to compel parents or guardians to provide for their children or wards. Such laws are in force in New York and Massachusetts, and their faithful administration is rapidly arresting these crimes. President Pratt felt grati- fied that the superintendent of charities of the District fully commended the society's work for children. The ambulance, for the removal of sick, injured or dead horses, purchased at a cost of $500 four years ago, and had proved a source of income to the society, largely due to the generous terms granted for storing it and supplying horses and driver by the late Geo. W. Knox and his successors. During these four years $236.25 to people unable to pay it had been and would be furnished free. The Taylor Bequest. ‘The report of the president further stated that the society would soon receive $5,000 bequeathed by the late Mr. J. B. Taylor. Five hundred dollars of this amount is given in trust. The interest is to be paid to the authors of the best two essays writ- ten by pupils of the public schools of Wash- ington—$20 for the best, and $10 for the next best essay on ‘Humanity to Animals.” The balance of $4,500 is to be invested and the interest expended for increasing the comforts and alleviating the gufferings of children and animals. President Pratt extended the thanks of the society to the judges of the Police Court for their unflinching administration of justice and their just award cf punish- ment dealt out to offenders; to the chief of police and to the officers and mer under him, who have proved the right arm of the society and had forwarded the good work in every way in their pawer. He also gave thanks to Drs. C. H. B. Michener and Geo. Jobson, professors in the National Veter- inary Hospital, who had been lately ap- pointed veterinary surgeons to the society, for having rendered efficient aid in giving | expert testimony, without which several cases would have failed of conviction. The | society, said the president, was also under obligations to the press for assistance which it had rendered in many ways. ‘The death of Horatio Bridge was regretfully mentioned. The report closed with a quo- tation from the article on “Our Dumb Animals,” in the January number of the “Happy New Year,” by Mr. George IT. An- gell. The officers of the society were re-elected, | as was the executive board, with the excep- tion of some who had either left town or lere Mrs. J. for other reasons were unable to attend the meetings, namely, Mrs. Snell, Miss Kmma Betz and Miss Overton. ‘fhose elected to fill the vacancies were Miss Mary Kerr, Rev. Alexander Mackey Smith and Dr. Cc. H. B. Michener. The Officers, The officers and board stand as follows: President, Mr. A. S. Pratt; vice presi- dents, Hon. Arthur MacArthur, Rev. KR. R.

Organizing a Big, Chotr for the Great Revival Meetings. There are always two ends to Moody and Sankey meetings; one is strictly evangel- istic, and the other is musical. A great deal of preparation has been done in the former Ifne, committees have been formed, and the enthusiasm has grown until that end of the project of the great revival to be held here in February is an assured suc- cess. Nothing has been done in the musi cal way until now, but the chances are that this too will boom until ig will promise just as great a success as the other. There will be a monster meeting of the vocal talent of the city tonight at the First Congrega- tional Church, which will be attended by the leading pastors in the Moody move- ment, as well as by Mr. Sankey, who has Tun over from Providence for the purpose ‘< ecead the organization of the great choir. This notice will serve as an invitation to every possessor of a singing voice in the District of Columbia to be present and to join the choir. All denominational lines have been disregarded in this movement, and the members of all churches are ex- pected to attend and help swell the grand choral. The series of meetings commences on the 7th of February, and this leaves very little time for organization, drilling, rehearsing, and perfecting the 1,500 voices that are expected to be enlisted. At the present series, being held in Providence, there are between 600 and 800 voices, and the local managers hope that Washington will more than keep up the proportion and give at least 1,500, which will not be any more than needful when the enormous size of the Convention Hall, where the meetings are to be held, is considered. The work of organization and leadership has been entrusted by the general commit- tee in charge of the meetings to Mr. Percy S. Foster, whose extended experience with church vocal music fits him especially well for the task. For over two years he was the president of the local Christian En- deavor organization, and after his retire- ment from that office he organized the C, E. choir, which has become one of the features of musical Washington. The idea has erroneously gone abroad that the forth- coming organization is to be known as the Cc. E. choir, and is to be composed of mem- bers of that assogiation only. But this is incorrect. The chorus that is to be started tonight will be known as the Moody choir, and will include every voice available, whether their owners wear the silver letters or not. Prof. Foster ‘met Mr. Sankey last evening at dinner at the residence of Dr. Hamlin, and the three had an informal conference about the project of raising a chorus of 1,500, Both Dr. Hamlin and Mr. Foster agreed that it was perfectly feasible, and at Mr. Sankey’s earnest solicitation they determined to waste no further time, but to get at the work of organization at once. So the meeting tonight will be held. The main floor of the church will be reserved for all singers who expect to unite with the Moody choir, and the general public is re- quested to take seats in the galleries. The meeting will begin at 7:30 o'clock, and will be a general praise service. Many of the city pastors will be present and Mr. Sankey will sing several solos, as well as relate a few of his interesting song stories. All the church choirs and singers of all de- nominations are cordially invited, and are requested to bring Gospel Hymns No. 6. A few brief remarks will be made by the leaders in this work, and general plans of the work presented. No tickets of admis- sion will be required. Prof. Charles J. Toof will preside at the organ, and Messrs. Elphonzo Youngs, jr., and Edward Tracy will play cornets. Mr. Moody has written to the local man- ‘agers of the meetings expressing the hope that the Washington choir will make the record of the country. He feels that the musical part of the services is always of ‘y great importance, and he thinks that Washington can not only fill the great hall, but can set an example for the country. _ THE ORPHANS. CARING FOR The Annual Meeting and Election at the Washington City Asylum. ‘There were some pleasant exercises yes- terday afterncon at the Washington City Orphan Asylum, corner of Mth and 8 streets northwest, at the annual meeting of the officers and managers of the insti- tution, held to hear the reports for the past year and elect officers for the year to come. Shortly after 2 o'clock the children ail marched into the main room, where the ex- ercises were conducted, and took seats in front of the visitors present. They were of all sizes, ranging from boys and girls nt- teen years of age to little tots of four years or less, all neatly dressed, clean, and ha’ ing a contented, well-fed and well-cared- for appearance about them that was pleas- ant to see in such a gathering. The exer- cises, over which Rey. Dr. William Alvin Bartlett presided, were begun with the re- citation of the twenty-third Psalm by the had been of great service to the public, | Httle folks, followed by slaying and prayer. Dr. Bartlett then read the reports for the year just ended. The first of these was a list of the various donations that had been | received during the year from generous | Washingtonians in all parts of the city. This was followed by the report of the treasurer, giving a detailed statement of the entire receipts and expenditures of tne year 18u3. The total receipts for that pe- riod were $17,534.05, and the expenditures were $15,020.0 The secretary's report, which was next read, gave quite a history of the work of | the institution since its beginning and com- parisons of the work of several different years. In 1849 there were about thirty (Scholars in the asylum. Last year there | were 185 inmates up to June, when, owing to a shortage of funds, the number had to be reduced, there now being 147 children under its care—75 boys and 72 giris. Dr. Bartlett made an address to the man- agers and to the children, in which he con- gratulated the teachers and the managers upon the good work of the past and praised their careful and thorough efforts. He said that in no public school could a more con- tented, well-dressed and well-fed lot of children be found. The work was a biess- ed one, and the time would never come when the people of Washington would let it perish through neglect. It had a place in their affections and would aiways re- ceive their Mberal support. The officers for the coming year were then elected, the same ones who served so well last year | being chosen again for the duties. They | are as follows: First directress, Mrs. S. P. Lee; second directress, Mrs. Wm. M. Mer- rick; treasurer, Mrs. Edward Temph retary, Mrs. George B. Harrison; responding secretary, Mrs. Z. T. Sowers; assistant secretary, Mrs. D. 8. Lamb; registrar, Mrs. George Brown, and George M. Head, Mrs. George S$. Gideon, Mrs. Wright Riv Mrs. Edwin Green, Mrs. M. G. Emery, Mr: Mrs. John Rodgers, Miss Waite, Mrs. 1. La Rue Johnson. The trustees are as fol- lows: F. B. McGuire, J. J. Darlington, Blair Lee and Reginald Fendall. Those in charge of the Orphan Asylum B. Wright, superintendent; Miss Lamson, matron, and Miss Charies, teacher. The asylum, although in good condition, has not been as well supported during the past year by the people of Washington as in years before. Only halt as much money has been received this year by the institution as in previous years of its existence, ———— Private Gibson Captured Two Medals. Company A, second battalion, D. N.G. (Corcoran Cadets), commanded by Capt. E. Cc. Edwards, marched forty men strong into the drill hall of the Center Market Armory to attend the first menthly com- petitive drill of the company. The contest was very interesting and when it had con- tinued for one hour there were only two men left, Sergt. Thompson and Private F. E. Gibson. These two drilled admirably and it was impossible to find a mistake for twenty minutes, when it was discovered that Sergt. Thompson's gun was about half inch out of place, so he dropped out, leaving Private F. E. Gibson winner of a handsome gold medal. Private Gibson was sec- cor- Mrs. | A. Y, P.

The command is beirg continually con- | gratulated on the interest it is taking, both |in_drill and rifle practice. The company will shoot every month for a gold medal. Tomorrow night will be the | first night in the rifle gallery this year. ——>_—_. | Death of Capt. Cusack. army officer, died at his residence, 515 Spruce street, Le Droit Park, aged sixty- four.

He has a field in which he easily and completely excels. Perhaps no other living actor can summon the del- ieate yet firm touches necessary for its cultivation, and in seeking new worlds to conquer he runs much risk of doing both | himself and his admirers an injustice. The supporting company was good. The “Country Circus.""—Back to the scene of last year’s triumph comes the “Country Circus.” Tt will be seen again next Mon- | day evening at Albaugh’s, where the am | stage room will allow of all the extensive pageant, which is the feature of the third act, to be seen to the fullest advantage. Not alone to the bright comedy situations of the play, nor even to the clever ring show, is the success of this unique enter- tainment to be attributed, but rather to the | skull with which both are blended. The arenic program, it is said, will present a list of attractions of an excellence rarely seen before. Some novel and extremely startling acts are promised, the most note- worthy being the first appearance of the celebrated jumper, Joe Darby, The feats of this leaping phenomenon are said to be simply marvelous. The ‘Country Circus” is a play that is not only clean and whole- ome, but that delights old and young alike and does not contain a single dull or tiresome feature. “The Struggle of Life."—The successfui spectacular melodrama, ‘The Struggle of Life,” will be given at Harris’ Bijou Thea- ter next week. This is another of Walter Sanford’s productions,and the success which has attended his presentation of “The Tow- er of Gold” this week makes the outlook a very pleasing one, from the standpoint both of the manager and the play-going public. The scenes of “The Struggle of Life” are laid in the American metropolis. The acci- dents are thrilling and the complications ingeniously devised. Mr. Sanford has from | his extensive resources In that direction | organized a company which insures inter- esting and meritorious representation of the various character types which the play brings forward. Well-known sports in New York are accurately reproduced. Lecture on Memory.—Tomorrow evening Prof. A. S. Boyd will deliver a lecture on | Memory at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Prof. Boyd's lectures upon this subject have | always been interesting, and his method of | educating and preserving this faculty has met with great success. Rambles Through Hawali—One of the most largely attended lectures in the sea- | son's course at Carroll Institute was de- | livered last evening, when Mr. Harrie Web- ster, chief engineer U. S. N., talked on his rambles through Hawaii. Mr. Webster is an expert photographer, and some beautiful speelmens of the work of his camera were used to illustrate his lecture. For a couple of hours he entertained his listeners with | an account of the life and beauties of these | Much taliced of isies of the sea. | ‘The C. C. Course.—The next in the course | of authors’ readings will be on Monday | night, when Bill Nye and Wm. Hawley | Smith will be the attractions.
