Lace Cleaning Demi-Neuf, SIX THOUSAND PEOPLE HEARD IT. A Vast Audience Gathered to Listen to Gen. Gordon's Lecture. The vast audience which greeted Gen. John B. Gordon, United States Senator from the state of Georgia, last Saturday evening as he stepped upon the platform in Convention Hall to tell the story of “The Last Days of the Confederacy” was undoubtedly the largest which has ever gathered in any structure in this city to listen to any one, and it was an audience, too, which has rarely been equaled, and perhaps never exceeded, in the country in point of numbers. Certainly the audience has never been seen anywhere in the land which comprised so many distin- guished men and women. The general com- manding the United States army presided, and seated about him on the platform and in the audience were cabinet officers, a quorum of Congress, innumerable army Bornot, tus G street.

He Expired Suddenly While Calling on Representative Jason Brown. Mr. John L. Ingram of Jeffersonville, Ind., a clerk in the first auditor’s of§ce of the ‘Treasury Department, died suddenly at the Riggs House yesterday afternoon, in the sooms of Representative Jason Brown of Indiana, upon whom he was making a sociai call. According to Mr. Brown, his friend ‘was seated in a chair, reading a newspaper, when, almost without warning, he fell from his chair and expired before medical aid could reach him. Mr.Ingram came to Wash- ington with Mr. M. C. Kerr when the latter was Speaker of the House, and held a clerk- ship under him for some time. Subsequently | he entered the Treasury Department under civil service rules and was promoted three} times on pure merit. Lately he has shown | some little nervousness about changes in his | bureau and frequently spoke to his friends about his chances for another promotion. | He was in line of promotion and his gocd | record justified his hopefulness. His friends say he certainly would have received the emotion during the present week. De-| a read law under ex-President Harri-| gon and was admitted to the bar while under Mr. Harrison’s instructions. He was unmarried and was about forty-five years of age. His remains will be shipped to Jef- fersonville for interment. — A LEAKY CABLE. Superintendent Miles Advises the Use of Poles Instead. Superintendent Miles of the District tele- phone and fire-alarm telegraph service has calied the attention of the Commissioners to the underground cable from his office down 4 1-2 street to Virginia avenue south- west. This cable carries the fire alarm and important police and school telephone wires and has got into such a leaky -ondition im consequence of the insecure and cheap method of construction that it is uo longer reliable for the important work expected over Its twelve conductors, and upon which the safety of South Washington de- pends. Several hundred dollars, he says, were expended in repairing the cable a few years ago, and to put it in a fairly good condition at this time would involve an expenditure of from $1,000 to $2,000, and | even then, he says, it would not be relia- | ble, owing to the fact that it was laid only | about eighteen inches below the surface, in a pine box, which rotted away years ago. It was put down, he says, only us an experiment. In his judgment, he says, it would not be advisable to further repair this cable, but instead erect a good line ef | poles from the rear of his office along 4 1-2 Street to Virginia avenue, terminating at No. 4 engine house. This would cost about $475, and he bas funds on hand to meet the expense. The Commissioners have some doubt as to | expressions were “mean as a Jew,” “tricky pes of Russia. He had seen better days | fore the issuance of that ukase which haa banished him from his home for the hein- ous crime of being only a Jew. Rothschild a Jew. The lecturer said that he bought a paper, and the first thing that met his eyes was an editorial saying that Russia would have been involved in a bloody war had not Rothschild refused a loan. “Who is this mighty man who rules the destinies of na- | tions and holds the c-owns of Europe in his hands?” Only a Jew. Then it occured te him that it was Christmas. What is Christmas, thought he. An annual celebra- tion of the birth of Jesus, who is wor- shipped by one-half mankind as_ their Savior. And who was this Jesus? Only a Jew. And yet the story of his life is the inspiration of the world. He marveled at the wondrousness of the Jewish race. The | Jews had from their very beginning as a | Face been cursed and deified, feared and | courted. No people other than the Jews had outlived or could have outlived the ; treatment to which they had been subjected | for 8,000 years. Pharaoh had cast them out | and yet at the same time had raised for them their leader. While Pilate was nailing the gentle Rabbi of Nazereth to the cross with one hand, with the other he was raising a kingdom whose subjects would be all the people of the earth. While Ferdinand and Isabella were exiling the Jews from Spain, with the same pen and on the same day they were signing the commission of Columbus, which opened up a new world and gave a home of freedom to the Jews. While the Czar of Russia and the Sultan of Turkey were in- flicting impesitions on the Jews, they were extending welcome to the great men of the race. In an art gallery in Europe he had stood before a picture representing Fagin teaching little children to thieve. Next to it Was one of the Christians’ Savior teaching little children. In the face of the Savior there was a resemblance to the Fagin and| vice versa. The Fagin Type. This led him to observe that in all typical Jews there was part of the countenance of Fagin. He did not meamthe type of Jew caricatured in Puck any more than he did the etheral image which hung on the walls of Senday schools. The persecutions of three thousand years was responsible for this Fagin feature. Cunning, sagacity and acquisitiveness were the only weapons which the Jews had had against the brute force of their enemies. On all Jewish faces there were stamped cunning, intelligence, morality and spiritual grandeur. Common, every-day as a Jew,” “dirty as a Jew,” “cunning as a Jew,” rich as a Jew.” The Jewish race had furnished Shylocks and Iscariots. A picture of the historic Jew without these dark col- ors would be as untruthful as a picture of Christianity that painted everything as saint-like and omitted the horrors of the stakes at Smithfield, Geneva, Rome and Florence, the outrages against the Albi- genses, the massacre of St. Bartholomew and the Inquisition. Other nations had succumbed to persecu- tion, but today the Jewish race stood the intellectual and moral peer of any. He should not be censured for the Fagin fea- ture. The wonder was that he was not all Fagin. This feature had been painted on| him by priests and monks, fanaticism and bigotry. What great transgression had the Jew committed that had brought upon them their authority to permit the poles. See tntioarcbaae Mr. MacFariand’s Chess Playing. On Saturday evening, at the rooms of the Washington Chess Club, Mr. Jos. MacFar- | land contested twenty-four simultaneous games of chess, winning fourteen, losing nine and drawing one.

The Gifts to the World. { He was guilty of having given to the world a Gcd, and of having given to a greater part of it a Savior. He was guilty of having of having first traversed land and sea to spread the new faith. He was guilty of hav- ing given the world a Sabbath. He was guilty of having given the human race a Bible, a decalogue and a golden rule. He had given the world great prophets, bards, singers and lawgivers. The Jew was guilty of being the most law-abiding, peaceful and affectionate of people, of paying taxes for the support of penal institutions which he had no use for; he was unknown to alms- houses and inebriate asylums; the prisons did not know him, and the scaffold had hardly ever heard his name. He had been taught that money was the only weapon | which he could employ against his enemies. | His clannishness was because he had been | made an outcast. His lack of social finish, even though such was the case, was because he was in a transitional position, passing | from degradation to social equality. “Do not blame the Jew because he be- lieves himself to be the chosen of the Lord. Blame the Bible, which tells him that he is." To prove that they were the chosen | of the Lord, Dr. Krauskopf said that his race was the weakest and mést defense- less of all the races, and yet the sword of every great nation had been blunted when | drawn against the Jew.

The occasion was the delivery of Gen. Gordon’s lecture under the joint auspices of Union Veterans’ Legion, No. 69, and the Confederate Veterans’ Association, for the benefit of the “needy veterans of both or- ganizations, Every seat in the great hall was filled, hundreds of people were stand- ing, and not less than 6,000 persons were present when Maj. Robt. W. Hunter of the Confederate Veterans’ Association in- troduced Corporal Tanner as the man who originated the idea. The corporal was en- thusiastically greeted as he explained, in one of his characteristically happy speeches, | that he did suggest the matter to his friend Hunter, but that the moment the latter heard it he instantly declared that he would guarantee Gen. Gordon's participation, and steps were taken at once by both organi- zations which resulted in the presence of the audience he saw before him. Gen, Schofteld’s Introduction. Maj. Hunter then presented Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield, U. S. A., as the chair- man of the occasion. In accepting the honor, Gen. Schofield said: “The kind and generous policy adopted by the United States government at the close of the war, and the loyal and manly response made to it by the people of the south, have borne such magnificent fruit that today all that remains of the conflict are the wounds and disabilities of the old soldiers. The soldier on the field of battle shared with the enemy his bread and water. How much more should we share with the survivors ae os peace of the substantial things of life.” It was a most conspicuous fact, explained Gen. Schofield, that the southern men who had been the bravest on the field of battle had since the war been at the very front in promoting the welfare and advancement of the country. Such a man he was to have the pleasure of introducing; a man herored by the whole country, and one who held everywhere the affection and es- teem of his fellow countrymen, He then presented Gen. Gordon. Gen, Gordon’s Lecture. The moment Gen. Gordon’s name was mentioned a storm of applause swept across the audience, which continued for several minutes, drowning the music of the Marine Band, as it greeted the general with the strains of “Hail to the Chief.” Several times he vainly attempted to pro- ceed, and when he at length found it pos- sible, he said that no southern man of any sensibilities could fail to have them stirred by such an introduction or so warm a greet- ing from his countrymen. He explained that he was influenced by no personal mo- tive in telling the story of “The Last Days of the Confederac: for he would speak from the standpoint of a southern soldier and as a comrade of Lee's, who could adduce some facts illustrative of the American character so highly exemplified in that great commander and in Gen. Grant and their soldiers. If he could elevate the es- timate placed by loyal people upon the character of their countrymen his mission would have been fulfilled. He would neither analyze the causes nor tell of the battles that preceded the overthrow of the confederacy. He knew not how others felt, but to his thinking every soldier that fell on either side and upturned his pallid face to the eternal stars was still a speaking, eloquent sacrifice to the martyrdom of truth as he understood it. Then for two hours Gen. Gordon told in thrilling eloquence the story of the last of the confederacy as he saw it. Beginning at Gettysburg he closed at Appomattox, his last words being a beautiful picture of a reunited country and its grand future. He portrayed the American soldier as seen on both sides in language as beautiful as it was sincere, and while he gave the com: manders on both sides all praise, exclaimed: “All honor to the private soldiers of each army, the men who wore the knapsacks, pulled the triggers and made the generals.” Grand tributes he also paid to Grant and Lee, and to the women of the north and south. abe 8 SS THE DEAF AND THE PHONOGRAPH. Dr. G. A. Leech to Give 2 Demonstra- tion Here of the Modern Cure. Dr. G. A. Leech, who began in this city, over a year periments with the pho- nograph as applied to the cure of deafness, and obtained some remarkable results, has been in New York ever since, located at No, 27th street, and has perfected ‘aphic apparatus for the purposes named. Dr. Leech is now in Washington, having come here to read a paper on the subject and to make a practical demonstra- tion of the phonograph cure. He is at Willard’s Hotel, and will remain there several days, during which he will be glad to exhibit his process to any who may be interested. Dr. Leech said to a “Star” re- porter today, in reference to the applica- tion of the phonograph to the treatment of deafnee@g “I regard the Edison phono- graph as the most wonderful invention of one of the most remarkable men of the present day. It is the human voice and car rolled together.

The Special Services at the Army Hall —Prominent Officers Here. “Welcome” was painted on one of the Salvation Army banners and put in a prom- inent place in the hall on Pennsylvania avenue yesterday, when a large audience filled the room. The occasion was the open- ing of the special services which are to be conducted during the week. Each evening at 7:30 o'clock the sound of the bass drum and tambourine will be heard and the wear- ,ers of the Salvation colors will strive in their way to save souls. Last night’s meet- ing was a great success both in point of numbers and enthusiasm, the meeting re- sembling to some extent those held here several years ago when Gen. Booth of Lon- don, the founder of the army, was here with his son, Ballington, who has charge of the American forces of the army. “High time in the Salvation Army” is the way the Salvationists term the meetings of the week, and at last night's meeting they really had a high time. In the hall Were American flags and streamers and the bright costumes of those who occupied seats on the platform made an attractive appear- ance. While the services were going on Lieut. Barbara Strowbridge stood at the door and took charge of the tambourine into which nickels, dimes and quarters were dropped by those who entered. Following the singing of a hymn, Capt. Taylor, the “Golden Minstrel,” offered a fervent prayer,which was intermingled with “hallelujahs” and “amen: While the Sal- vationists were still on bended knees a hymn was sung and a few short prayers followed. A Ringing Song. In an instant after the last “amen” had been uttered the whole audience was stand- ing and the ringing sound of the voices of those on the platform filled the hall with the words of a hymn to the tune of “March- ing Through Georgia.” Mrs. Capt. Taylor, who had led the sing- ing of the last hymn, made an appeal to the audience to purchase copies of the paper printed by the army. “Its well worth an investment of five cents,” she said, “for it's the best paper in the United States and wherever you find @ Salvation Army ofiicer you are sure to find the booming Cry.” This pretty little Salvation Army captain volunteered a few words of explanation. She explained that “F. 0.” in the paper meant “field officer,” and then she enumer- ated them, mentioning captain, lieutenant and cadet, and started to tell about the higher field officers, when a loud shrill yoice called out, “They are big guns.” “Fire a volley for the big guns,” was the captain's order, whereupon there was an exhibition of lung power in shouting One of the “War Cry” hymns was an- nounced and Capt. Ed. Taylor, with his guitar, led the singing of the hymn, while the noise of the tambourines enlivened the j occasion and seemed to awaken every bit of enthusiasm there was in those in attend- ance, including many drawn there no doubt through mere curiosity. Getting All to Sing. When the first verse was finished Mrs. Capt. Taylor called for every one to sing. “If you can’t sing,” she said, “open your mouths and make others think so, and then they will sing, or do as I heard a stat captain once tell her hearers, ‘if you don’t Know the particular hymn, sing something else.’ “There's a young man on the platform who looks like he has just been to the funerai of his best friend,” she said, look- ing directly at one of those who wore the army's badge. “He'd better wake up,” added one of the officers. “Then all hands sing,” was the captain's quick rejoinder, and then there was noise enough to arouse anyone. Testimonials were then called for and a number of persons told how they had been converted through the instrumentality of the Salvation Army and made happy. Listening to Testimony. A German, whose apparel indicated that he was an officer in the army, told briefly what had been done for him and how happy he had been made. He said that what the people want is a practical religion and that’s what they are getting in the army. “The Lord says make a joyful sound,” he concluded, and that's what we are do- ing. Many other testimonials were given, short addresses made and a number of persons in the audience raised their hands for prayers. At the conclusion of the meeting a num- ber of persons, who had evidently been affected by what had been said, went for- ward, and on bended knees they heard words of consolation from the Salvationists. Among the officers present at the meet- ing were Adjutant and Mrs. Dunham of Baltimore, Capt. Ed. Taylor, known as the “Golden Minstrel,” and his wife, Capt. Ella McFetridge, Lieut. Barbara Ballreich, Lieut. Maud Strowbridge and others. Staff Capt. Patty Watkins, the “Welsh Nightingale,” will be present and sing at the meeting tonight and tomorrow night. piue Rane RIDDLED WITH SHOT. An Express Messenger Takes No Chances on Possible Train Robbers. A man who gives his name as Thomas Devery, and his residence as Troy, N. Y., received eight shot in the leg last night, and now he is under treatment in the Emergency Hospital. The affair happened about 11:20 o'clock at the Baltimore and Ohio depot, the shots having been fired by E. Mills, a train guard in the employ of the United States Express Company. Mills was on duty at the time and was on train No, 526, which was an express. On this train the company ships many valuables, including currency, and for this reason ex- tra precautions are taken to guard it against train robbers, who have operated so extensively during the past year. The train was about ready to start, and Guard Mills was making his rounds to see that no one was secreted in or about the car. There were three men endeavoring to board the car just as the engineer was about to start his engine, and the guard used his Winchester rifle. The repozt of the weapon attracted sev- eral persons, among them being Yardmas- ter Carr, who inquired what was the mat- ter. The guard answered that three men had attempted to board his car, and he had fired at them. He thought, however, that he had missed them, tor he had not seen one of them fall. | Then the order was given and the train Was soon on its way to Philedelnhia. The train had hardly ieft che yard fore the yardmaster saw what looked like the form of a man stretched between the tracks, and }going to the place he discovered Devery, who had been weakened by loss of blood from wounds of the leg, made by the shot from_the guard's rifle. Ser nt Falvey and Policeman Gordon, who had been at- tracted to the scene by the report of the jrifie, took charge of the wounded man and | had him conveyed to the Emergency Hos- | pital, The Man Rallied. There it was found that the loss of blood jhad caused a condition which would have | proved almost hopeless in the case of a | weaker man, but owing to the strong con- |stitution and heavy build of the man’ he soon rallied and the blood-soaked gar- ments were removed. Then an examination | of the right leg was made and it was found that ghe eight shot had resulted in a dozen wounds, four of the sbot passed en- tirely thyough the leg.
