DR. EASTON INSTALLED The Popular Pastor of the Eastern Presby- terian Church Formally in Charge. Pro! mt Presbyterian Take Part—Dr. Hamlin’s Sermon and Dr. Bartlett's Address. Ministers The services of formally installing Rev. | Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton as pastor of | the Eastern Presbyterian Church, Stanton Square, were held last evening at the church in the presence of the members of the con- gregation and friends and a number of the pastors of the Presbyterian churches of the | city. Dr. Easton has been serving the church for some time as pastor, and the | success which has rewarded his efforts has | attracted general attention throughout the {denomination in this city. The occasion, which marked the beginning of the official relations between pastor and people, was of ; more than usual interest. The presbytery | of Washington city had taken action and | had appointed those who were to take the leading part in the service. Rev. Dr. Bit- tenger was selected to preside, the prayer was offered by Rev. Charles B. Ramsdell, | the sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Ham- lin, the charge to the pastor by Rev. Dr. Bartlett, the charge to the people by Rev. | Dr. Chester and the prayer of installation | by Rev. Dr. Sunderland. Rev. C. Alvan | Smith read selections from the Scriptures, | | Rev. Dr. Patch offered prayer and the con- stitutional questions were offered by Rev. Dr. Bittenger. A special program of music was rendered by the choir of the church, under the direc- jtion of the leader, Mr. John Roeder. A ) solo was sung by Miss Dorothea Byrde | Rogers. Dr. Hamlin’s sermon was a strong and practical presentation of the theme of | eternal life, which, he said, was not a mut- ter for the future, but of the present. The | meaning of the phrase eternaf life, as used, | | the preacher said, was personal knowledge of God and acquaintance and fellowship | with God. He spoke of human friendships | and their influence on men. He dwelt on | the educational effect of contact with men | and with life, something which the most intimate knowledge of books would not give. The modern influence of the pulpit he at- | tributed in some degree to the personality, | to the life which was there. Men wanted the contact of men and mind, one with another. Then They All Laaghed. The charge of Rev. Dr. Bartlett to the pastor was received by the newly installed pastor while standing in front of the pul- | pit. He frequently smiled and laughed, as did the congregation, at the bright com- ments and the humorous anecdotes which Dr. Bartlett is fond of introducing into his public addresses. He said at the out- set that he did not know what he could say to a brother having the experience and the record of Dr. Easton. He intimated |that he and Dr. Easton had entered upon | the work of the ministry about the same | time, and that therefore the latter's stock of experience was quite as abundant as that of the speaker. He, however, gave | him some suggestions, which he thought would be especially suited to this city, where the speaker said the government was that of an absolute monarchy, and where every four years the process was gone through of turning the rascais out of | the public offices and bringing into their | Places the white saints from the various congressional districts of the country to | their heritage, which was sometimes a blood-bought heritage. He spoke of the debt which was on the | church, and said that difficulties to be over- come sometimes spurred to greater activity and evolved a higher type. He told a story in illustration which related to the optimis- tic and pessimistic frogs which had un- | fortunately fallen into a milk can which | the milkman, as it is said that milkmen are in the habit of doing, had left at the | side of a spring. The pessimistic frog took in the situation and concluded that the prospect of getting out was hopeless, and so relaxing his efforts went to the bottom | and was drowned. But the other frog took the opposite view and concluded to make every effort, which, in this case, consisted of thrashing around, and in the morning | he was found floating around on a cake of | butter, which his agitation had churned | up. He advised the congregation to hus- tle around and get a cake of butter under them. It was some minutes after the | speaker had reached the conclusion of his story before he was able to go on on ac- count of the laughter which filled the | church. pe ee: AMUSEMENTS, “On Probation” at Albaugh's.—“On Pro- bation,” the comic play by Brander Matthews and George H. Jessup, which wiil be presented tonight and tomorrow night at Albaugh’s by Wm. H. Crane and his talented company, had great success in New York last spring. It ran for over 100 consecutive nights at the Star Theater in that city to crowded and delightful audi- ences. Judging from its description it is a fun-maker pure and simple. Those of Mr. Crane's admirers who remember him in the old days when he used to convulse | them with laughter will hail wich delight | his return for a couple of nights to the role of laugh-maker. The story deals with the experiences of a mature gallant, who finds it difficult if not impossible to refrain from | failing in love with every pretty woman he meets. Jonathan Silsbee is his name und | by occupation he is a Chicago millionaire | Before the play begins he has pledged him | self to marry Mary Marlow, an atwracuve | governess, who has successfully nursed him | through a serious illness. He wishes to marry her at once, but the girl insists that {he shall pass a year in Europe “en pro- | bation.” When the play begins Si'sbee and his friends are found in Paris, an! must | of the first and second acts are ‘evoted to | the many escapades of the beauty-seeking old gallant. in the third act his amorousness is found to have led him into direful straits. He has forfeited the respect of the young woman he desires to marry and is involved with a girl whom he is afraid he will have | to wed. In addition to this he is threaten- ed with a duel with the enraged husbun1 of Senora Oliveira, a fierce Brazilian, and is [involved in a case of blackmail. In this predicament Mary Marlow comes to the | rescue of her fiance and heips him out of his entanglements. By the exercise of con- {siderable Yankee fgenuity she gets her | lover out of the troubles that terrify him jon all sides. Lest he should fail into fresi: | snares she promptly marries him, and the play ends in general happiness and good humor. | King Rene’s Daughter—“King Rene's Daughter” was presented before a tuir audience last night at Metzerott’s Hall by the pupils of Miss Katie V. Wilson. The cantata was creditably presented and well received. The soloists were Miss Bertie | Thompson, Miss Helen Nye and Miss Alice | Pillsbury. Miss Pillsbury was accompanied | by Mr. D. G. Pfeiffer. All the pupils show- | ed intelligent training, and many of them considerable promise. The Philharmonic Club.—The Philhar- monic Club gave its second concer: this season at the Universalist Church Jast | night. The members of the club. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lent and Mr. Herman Rake- mann, appeared at their best in a trio by Mr. Lent, Goldmark’s andante and Jcherze movement of opus 33. Solos were also ren- dered by these artists, each fully sustain- | ing the reputation which has keen earned by conscientious” work. Miss Von stosch completely captured the audienve with Sar- }asate’s “Faust” Fantasie, the Mascagni arrangement of “Cavalleria Rusticana” jand Weiniawski’s Russian Airs. The event was a financial success as well as en ar- | tistic one. Miss Roselle’s Concert.—Tonigat there will undoubtedly be a large attendance at Metzerott Hall to do honor to Miss Field- ing Roselle, a Washington girl, who has devoted several years of conscientious! study to the cultivation of a ituraily fine contralto voice, and who will give her | friends the first opportunity to judge of the } result of her labor. She will be ted by jexcellent talent, and the program will be | an attractive one. ‘The Cricket on the Hearth.—The Guild of |the Holy Child of St. John’s parisn gave a dramatic entertainment last night at Wil- lard Hall, the selection being Mr. Albert Smith's version of Chas. Dickens’ “The Cricket on the Hearth.” The performance was under the stage direction of Mr. Wm. Daniel, and between the acts the Plunky Plunk Musical Club, composed of Messrs. Harry and Wm. Hinman, Shelton and Mac- Kriller, entertained the audience. The cz of characters was as follows: Mr. Wm. M. Thompson, as Mr. Tackleton; Mr. Felix Mahoney, as Caleb Plumm Mr. Ernes | H. Daniel, as John Perry ; Mr. Karl Daniel, as the old gentiem: ir. Clifford | V. Church, as the porter: Miss Anita |drie, as Dot; Miss Juliette Thomps | Bertha; Miss Helen Smith, as Mrs. Field- ing; Miss Gertrude Gardner, as May Field- ing: Miss Priscills rns, as Tilly Slow- boy. and Boxer, the carrier's dog. The musical accompanist was Miss Mary | Dashiel. Hen- MA: MEETING OF MACHINISTS. Advocating Free Trade, the Single Tax and Co-Operation of Labor. Last evening a mass meeting was held at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Sth street southeast, under the auspices of the International As- sociation of Machinists, the meeting being | well attended and being addressed by Representative Jerry Simpson, Mr. Henry George and Grand Master James O’Con- nell of Richmond, Va. Master Machinist Harry Speake presided over the meeting, and introduced the speak- ers, Mr. O'Connell being the first. The as- sociation, explained Mr. O'Connell, had its birth in Atlanta, Ga., with six members, and having now over 500 lodges in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and 40,000 members. Its purpose was to elevate the craft, to oppose convict contract labor, and to band the machinists of the country together in order to obtain fewer working hours and more pay. A reduction in the Hours of toil in Pittsburg, with an increase in pay, was, he said, a result of organiza- tion, and urged the machinists In govern- ment employ to join the local lodge and aid in the work of the association. Representative Simpson admitted there must be co-operation in all labor classes to accomplish any good, and while he was in hearty sympathy with organized labo! , he rather inclined to unorganized labor, There were trades unions upon the earth before Christ was born, he stated; they have died and been born again, but have always been impotent to enable the laborer to derive the fruits of his toil. There must be some- where a cure for the evil, and the question Was to find out the robber who deprived the workman of his just dues. He believed the ynly cure was the emancipation of the land from monopoly. Mr. Henry George advocated the single tax, saying that labor does not need any sort of protection, but only free play. He Was glad to see men in Congress advocat- ing free trade. It was the first light of a fourageous start in the interest of labor, The truth is coming into American polities, and labor’s hope is in the higher political economy that conceives its principles. The trouble with labor is that it has not seen clearly what to ask for. It has been de luded by the effort to get a special advanca and ignored the general welfare. ——— TO EXTEND ITS INFLUENCE. A Namber of New Members Elected by the Board of Trade. At a meeting of the membership commit- tee of the Washington Board of Trade held yesterday afternoon the following named gentlemen were elected members of the board: H. W. Fuller, George F. Huff, H. L. Biscow, Charles W. King, A. Burgdort, F. J. Mayer, William Birney, Thomas E. Waggaman, A. L. Sturtevant, M. Hebner, Charles G, Thorn, Henry N. Copp, F. C. Stevens, Carhardt & Leidy, Fred. W. Pill- ing, George E. Hamilton, W. M. Poindex- ter, C. M. Hammett, T. A. Harding, T. A. Lambert, Gardiner G. Hubbard, J. M. Toner, Austin P. Brown, N. W. Burchell, Darwin M. Saunders, William T. Johnson, Henry E. Davis, Mills Dean, E. L. Whit- ford, John R. Galloway. The committee decided to meet at the of- fice of the secretary of the board on Wed- nesday afternoon of each week to consider applications for membership in the board. It was also the judgment of the committee that active steps be taken to bring new members into the board of trade, to the end that the Scope of its influence may be extended and that it may become as repre- Sertative a body as possible of all the busi- ness interests of the city. The committee on memtbership is com- posed of the following gentlemen: Messrs. ‘Thomas W. Smith, chairman; W. A. Hun- gerford, H. A. Griswold, L. D. Wine, 8. J. Meeks, L. A. Littlefield, R. A. Hieston and J. Leavitt Smith. SiS es INDUSTRY AND DEVELOPMENT. The Theme of an Interesting Lecture by Mr. Carroll D. Wright. Owing to the severity of the storm last evening there was comparatively a small attendance in the chapel of All ‘Souls’ Church to hear the lecture on “Modern Industry and Intellectual Development” by Mr. Carroll D, Wright, United states commissicner of labor, but those who did attend were well repaid for braving the elements. Industry and intellectuality, he declared, advanced ‘ogether; each man as his mind enlarged ‘eing fitted for more advanced work, and bis place was filled by some one not so high in mental endowments, who in turn as he developed made way for an- other. Th free system is much preferable to the old slave of feudal times, as tending to give t)e workman an interest in his work. As inventions increased men ad- vanced mentally and morally, being brought more into association with each other. Thy period immediately following the inven‘ions of Hargreaves and Ark- wright wu" one of the greatest in the his- tory of thy world. The factory is the out- growth of the tendency of man to join his labor to fiat of his fellow, the better to produce a desired end. The present fac- tory syste™: is much to be preferred to the old domer'ic one, both for the individual state. Wherever the two exist » the former is plainly seen to r. The social battles involve as great inte'sst as those fought in the field, even if no’ so bloody. This is the age of intellect, "rain and machinery, and the time that ‘must be spent in labor to earn a living is becoming shorter. The condi- tion of eve’! the poorest and most ignorant is better than formerly, and where misery exists it ir nearly always the fault, not of the system’. but of the individual. Strikes and labor ‘\isturbances are not evidence of a tendenc’ to retrogression, but of the realization of the fact by the workman that he hav a deep interest in the fruits of his labor. In concl'sion the speaker professed a belief that an equitable solution of the questions «oncerning the rights of capital and labor would be finally reached; that the age of machinery bas only began, and that the fu‘ure and not the past holds the golden age ————.

THE CHINESE MAY STAY. This Important Decision Reached in a Debate Last Night. Representatives of the Columbian and Georgetown Universities in a For- ensic Set-to—The Latter Win. The Chinese must not go! The question of whether they should or should not do so was decided here last even- ing, where so momentous a national ques- tion should be decided, and, notwithstand- ing the fact that the question had perplexed and troubled the minds of the greatest statesmen of this country for many years, with the matter still unsettled, six young men, representing, respectively, the law schools of the Columbian and Georgetown Universities, took but little more than sixty minutes last evening to finally decide that Chinese immigration should not be pro- hibited. The occasion was the first of the se- ries :of debates between the debating so- cleties of the law schools of the two unt- versities, and despite the very inclement Weather the lecture hall of Columbian Uni- versity was well filled. The debaters were Messrs. Bernard H. Taylor, Albert V. Taylor and Edgar C. Molby of Columbian and Messrs. John J. Dolan, P. J. Carlon and P. H. O'Donnell of Georgetown. Mr. Thos. Gresham, president of the de- bating society of Columbian University law school, ‘sided, and the judges of the de- bate were Mr. Justice Shepard of the Di: trict Court of Appeals, Mr. Wm. Lochren, commissioner of pensions, and Prof. Walter Rogers. The subject for debate was, “Resolved, That Chinese Immigration Should Be Prohibited,” and the affirmative had been assigned to the Columbian de- baters, while the negative was upheld by those from Georgetown. The presiding officer, Mr. Gresham, opened | the exercises of the evening by briefly wel- coming the audience on behalf of the two societies. He referred to the presence of 50 many of the fair sex with the remark that they would furnish inspiration to those who were to contend for the mastery in the de~ bate which was to follow. He then introduced Mr. Bernard H. Tay- lor of Columbian, the first speaker on the affirmative. Mr. Taylor divided the subject of immigration into two parts, namely, the power which the government had to pro- hibit it if it desired, and the power of the government to apply this prohibitory pow- er to the Chinese in particular. He quoted from a decision of the Supreme Court to sustain this position, and then proceeded to show why this prohibitory power should be exercised in the case of the Chinese. He said that one of the prime laws of nature was self-preservation, and contended that we must, if we would preserve our institu- tions, keep them free from contaminating influences. It is only the lower class of the Chinese people who immigrate to this coun- try and these people do not assimilate and become part of our people, but simply come to secure a fortune and then return to their own land. He said that good immigrants were always welcome, but when those came whose presence was inimical to our own welfare, they should be, by law, excluded. On the Other Side. At the conclusion of Mr. Taylor’s argu- ment, the presiding officer introduced Mr. John J. Dolan, president of the Debating Society of the Georgetown University Law School. Mr. Dolan, in a most effective speech, proceeded to combat the proposi- tion on the ground that it was an unjust discrimination. The Chinese were a quiet, peaceful, industrious and honest peo- ple, and he saw no reason why they should be singled out as the object of prejudice to such a marked degr2e as to attempt their absolute exclusion from our midst. No anarchists or cranks were to be found among their number, and he thought that the ends of justice demanded that no discrimination should be made to the+detri- ment of such a people. Mr. Albert V. Taylor, the second speaker on the affirmative, called attention to the fact that the habits of the Chinese were such that they could work for less than the American and the natural consequence was that the latter was thrown out of employ- ment whenever the two came into open competition, He further argued that the present condition of industrial depression called for limitations on the increase of the number of workingmen, and that it would be soon enough, when better times returned, to talk of increasing our already large army of workingmen. Mr. P. J. Carlon next spoke on the nega- tive. He reviewed the history of the great nations of the world, and showed that their Prosperity was coextensive with the justice which characterized their national acts. Justice and benevolence alone could pre- serve peace and harmony with other na- tions and inspire our own countrymen with noble and patriotic sentiments. He held that the Mongolian was the object of sense- less prejudice, and it was this feeling that animated those who opposed his peaceful enjoyment of the advantages of our land. “License,” he concluded, “to no men, but liberty, unlimited liberty, to all men. Mr, Carlon was followed by Mr. Edgar C. Molby, who has but recently recovered from a serious illness. He spoke at some length upon the organi- zation known as the Six Companies, and showed the iniquity of these societies, which virtually control all the Chinamen in the land and openly defy law and order. He was followed by Mr. P. H. O'Donnell on the negative. Mr. O'Donnell held that any people had a right to migrate to the land of another nation if necessity de- manded it, and he thought that instead of endeavoring to keep the Chinese in the state of degradation which had been pic- tured our nation should endeavor to lift them up. The negative of the argumeat was then closed by Mr. J. J. Dolan in a bright ten- minute speech, in which he spoke in con- troversion of the arguments of ihe aifirma- tive. Mr. Bernard H. Taylor closed the affirma- tive side in a similar speech and the debate was over. At the conclusion of the debate the judges retired to consult before rendering their decision. While they were tn consultation the pre- siding officer took advantage of the op- portunity to make an announcement in re- gard to the second of the series of debates, Prevent the Grip Dr. Cyrus Edson of the New York Board of Health says that to prevent the Grip you should avoid exposurg in inclement weather and keep your strength up, your blood tn good condition and your digestive crgans in regular action. The tonic and alterative effects of Hood's Sarsaparitla so happily meet the last three conditions that with the protection given by this medicine you need not fear the Grip. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is an inexpensive medicine and a single bottle may save you many dollars in doc- tor’s bills and much suffering. HOOD'S PILLS a Manly Purity.
