A Few Chapters Still to Be Indexed— The Arrangement of the Sabjects. In conversation with a Star reporter today Mr. Wm. Stone Abert, one of the two com- missioners appointed by the Court in Gen- eral Term in compliance with the act of Congress of March 2, 1889, to “compile, ar- range and classify with a proper index all statutes and parts of statutes in force in the District of Columbia, including the acts of the second session of the Fiftieth Con- gress, relating to all such matters as would Properly come within the scope of a civil and criminal code,” stated that he hmd com- pleted his part of the work, and that the only part of the work remaining uncom- pleted was the clerical labor of indexing thirteen of the seventy-one chapters into which the compilation was divided. All of the chapters were fully completed, compiled and classified, and Mr. Abert said he was much gratified to be able to say that he had kept his promise made to The Star last October that so far as he was concerned the work would be completed by today. The work of indexing the remaining thirteen chapters, Mr. Abert believed, would be fin- {Shed in two or three weeks’ time, when the compilation would be submitted to the Court in General Term for that court's approval, as required by section 3 of the act author- izing the work, which section read: “Of said compilation, when completed, upon the writ- ten approval and order of the SupremeCourt of the District of Columbia, there shall be printed 5,000 copies at the government print- ing oifice, said copies to be sold at 10 per centum above cost.” He understood that money had already been appropriated for the printing of the work, so that there would be no delay in printing it afer the court had approved it, which he imagined would be done in a comparatively short time. Mr. Abert explained that the chapters of the compilation as he had given them to The Star last October had been changed since then, some having been consolidated | in others and some having been done away with altogether. As the chapters now stood, and as they would, unless changed by the court, appear in the published work, they were as follows: 1. Administration. ‘88. Landlord and tenant. 2 Aliens. 39. Laws & Animals, 40. Licenses. . Apprentices, 41. Life est: t oe 42. Limietions ssignments. 43. Limited - 7. Aveuues, streets and ship. =e alleys. 44. Mandamus. 8. Bills, bonds and 45.

The Maryland annual conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, composed of 250 members, ministers and laymen, will hold its sixty-sixth session in Congress Street Church, 3lst between M and N Streets, this city, Rev. Walter R. Graham, pastor, beginning April 4. The church will entertain this body as its guests for a week, the time usually allotted to its pus- iness session. At a meeting of the mem- bership of the church, held last night, preparatory steps were taken for this en- tertainment, and committees appointed to secure homes. The Maryland conference comprises in its territory the whole of the state of Mary-/ jand and the District of Columbia, with contiguous charges in Virginia. Rev. J. D.' Kinzer of Baltimore is the president, and will preside at the coming session. The conference is composed of some of the ablest theologians and pulpit orators in the state, and the churches of this city will have an opportunity of hearing a num- ber of these men on Sunday during their sojourn here. It has been many years since this body held its annual session in Congress Street Church, and now that they are coming again the church is actively engaged in preparing for their reception and enter- tainment. ae eee Young Men’s Hebrew Association. ‘The annual meeting of the Young Men's Hebrew Association was held last evening in the Eighth Street Synagogue.

The Great Moody a: nkey Choir Render the Gospel Melodies. The fourth regular rehearsal of the mighty Moody and Sankey choir took place 'at Congregational Church Tuesday night. The occasion was full of harmony and | fervor. Twelve hundred singers were pres- ent, and they sang with an earnestness worthy of the cause. The great organ was almost silenced when this vocal army turned loose its power. The altos and so- pranos filled the central body of the church and the galleries, while the tenors held forth on the left of the church and the basses on the right. The ladies were in a majority of two to one. They were of | almost every description, young and other- | wise, pretty and otherwise, but nearly all | Were tuneful, though there were some otherwise exceptions. Mr. Foster, the lead- er, wrote fantastic figures in the air with | his baton, and made all the voices follow with a swing and rhythm that made the | blood tingle In the cheeks and seemed to raise the roof of the church. ‘There was the best possible understand- jing between the conductor and the con-} ducted. They almost sighed when he low- | | ered one hand gently, and put forth their | full power when he swung his arms around | | his head. In the beginning he stated that | the choir now numbers more than 1,500, and that its progress was all that local pride could ask. Some of the singers did not have the right hymn books, and he hoped that before the next rehearsal they would provide themselves with the indi- cated article. Each of the choristers would have,to buy one, as none of the hymnals were for gratuitous distribution. “Now, let us try No. 28," said Mr. Foster. The organ prelude boomed out, and at ex- actly the right beat, the baton came down, and every throat gave forth the words, “I Know I Love Thee Better.” “Very well done, indeed. I may say that | that is almost just right,” said the leader. “No. 40," came the order, and “In the Shadow of His Wings” rolled out in mol- ten golden notes and all in tune. Advice to the Singers. Then Mr. Foster complimented them on the work, and made everybody feel as though the success of that choir rested on his or her individual effort. He said that when the choir got into a real engagement |{t would not be possible for him to attract the attention of the singers as he did at these rehearsals, and that then they must surrender themselves to a strict observance to business and to the stick of the leader. The proper hymn should be found as soon as its number was called; there should be | no turning of pages while the prelude was | | being played, and at just the right moment, and all together, they should let her go. No. 71 was the next song. It began “Wel- come, Wanderer, Welcome.” It had not been practiced by this vocal aggregation before, and its rendition was not thoroughly satisfying. Before the choir | let go of it, however, they had it so that it flowed from the lips without a flaw. Mr. | Foster said: “I saw three ladies in the gallery, just in front of me, who did not sing a note. Just take that first line over again, please.” “From the first line to the second sing pianissimo, then crescendo, to forte at the third line, and be careful not to slur and sing the words ‘Welcome, Wanderer,’ le- | gato, but sing them staccato; cut it off short, as if you were scared,” said Mr. Foster. Then the basses were requested to sing that stanza alone, and then the tenors did it. Then all went together with | a snap and a dash. No. 82, “Pardon, Peace | and Power,” came next, and No. 94 ensued. | This earnest work wi kept up for two hours. Some of the choristers were not singing, but those who were not were in- tently studying their lines, and will sing out at the next rehearsal. A good many | of the singers are not ready readers, and | these have to take it leisurely with the notes. oo PREPARING FOR MOODY. Services Being Held Nightly in Dif- ferent Sections—The Corps of Ushers. The churches in the different sections cf the city were filled again last night with people who came out to hear the preaching and the praise service preliminary to the Moody meetings, which begin next week. The services of the week afford an ex- cellent opportunity for persons to hear pastors outside of their own church or de- nomination, and to become better acquaint- ed with the religious work in Washington without going beyond their neighborhood. Services were held last night in the var- fous divisions as follows: In the central division, at the Assembly Presbyterian Church, corner of 5th and I streets, Rev. Hugh Johnston, D.D., preaching; in the north central division, at the Mount Vernon | Place M. E. Church South, corner of 9th and K streets, Rev. J. E. Rankin, D.D., preaching; in the northwest division, at the | First Baptist Church, corner of 16th and | O streets, Rev. J. R. McKnight, preach- ing; in the northeast division, at the Ninth Street Christian Church, corner of 9th and | D streets, Rev. Mr. Naylor preaching; in the southeast division, at the Metropolitan | Presbyterian Church, corner of 4th and B | streets, various pastors taking part; and in Georgetown, at the West Street Presby- terian Church. Services will be held tonight in the fol- lowing churches: In the north central di- vision, at the Hamline M. E. Church, cor- ner of Yth and P streets, Rev. C. B. Rams- dell, D.D., preaching; in the northwest di- vision,at the Church of the Covenant (Pres- vyterian), Connecticut avenue and N street, preaching by Rev. J. G. Butler, D.D.; in the southeast division, at the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, corner of 4th and B streets, and in Georgetown, at the Congress Street M. P. Church. No union services will be held in the central or northeast districts tonight, but in each church the customary prayer meeting will be held. The chairman of the committee on ushers for the Moody meetings has secured what he thinks will be a sufficiently large com- pany of ushers to readily care for the| crowds that are expected to attend the meetings. Two hundred and fifty velun- teers are enrolled and represent forty-four different churches. The ushers are all ex- pected to meet at the Young Men's Chris- tian Association Saturday at 8 o'clock p.m. Marriage licenses have been issued by the | clerk of the court to the following: V’rancis | Upshur and Ella Nahar; W. H. Butler and | Mary F. Elgin, both of Suitland, Md.; Mur- | ris Chambers and Jerylean Zedricks of New York city; W. H. Dorsey and Mamie Jack- son, both of Anacostia; Alfred J, Smith | and Mary Margaret Beck of St. Joseph, Mo.; Melville G. Curry and Nellie E. Wash- | ington; H. B. Robey of Charles county, Mad., and Orrie Harrison of Fairfax county, | Va.; James E. Johnson and Rose Chase, both of P. G. county, Md.; Joseph Blakey | and Elizabeth A. Sanford; John H. Gray and Anne E. Fugitt. oct ighice a Chetr Boys Banqueted. Fourteen boys of the volunteer choir of the Church of the Incarnation, corner of 12th and N streets northwest, were given a little feast last evening at Freund's. The director of the choir, Prof. R. I. Geare, pre- sided at the table, and also gave “tone” to the pleasant little musical program which was improvised afterward for the young- sters. The participants were Burt Garrett, Willie Stone. Edgar Mason, Spencer Geare, Frank Hinrichs, Willie Johnson, Arthur Bovee, Jos. Holland, Willie McCormick, Charles Lowrey, Donald Davis, Wallace | Morgan, Arthur’ Maddox and Karl Kern. The affair will, it is belleved, help to main- tain the commendable zeal with which the young singers have taken up an unusually | Aifficult program to be executed during the | next Easter services.

F. of this jurisdiction, accompa- nied by the cantons and a large delegation | of the subordinate membership, visited Langdon, on the main branch of the Bal- | Umore and Ohio railroad, for the purpose of instituting a new lodge of Odd Fellows. | The juvenile drum corps, Canton Potomac, | accompanied the pilgrims, and entertained | the visitors en route and at the town hall. The ceremonies of instituting were con- ducted by Grand Master Wood and the of- ticers of the Grand Lodge. After the lodge was declared instituted, the following offi- cers were elected and installed: Noble grand, J. R. Sherwood; vice grand, F. E. Rapp; secretary, J. G. Durfey; treasurer, O. T. Putnam; past grand, W. B. Page; war- den, E. P. Sherman; conductor, T. H. Col- lins; supporters to noble grand, I. J. and Cc. A. Baker.

Wood of Federal City, No. 20, and Grand | Conductor Davidson of Salem, No. 22, pre- sented, on behalf of their respective lodges, Kind and substantial tokens of respect and congratulations were then generally ex- tended. | Owing to the great number of applica-, tions for degrees, it was decided to confer the degrees in two sections. The grand of- ficers assumed the chairs and conferred the initiatory degree upon section No. 1, and every one present was pleased with tho ceremonies. Centra! Lodge, No. 1, will confer the de- grees at the special meeting om Saturday ; evening and on Tuesday evening next. | Among the prominent members who were present were Jno. H. Wood, G. M.; Theo.

Weed of New York, who though comparatively new to the concert stage has achieved great suc- cess and won the praise of many of the best critics of the country. On her appear- ance with the Seidl orchestra the past sea- son she was especially commended by Mr. Seidl for her artistic work. Mr. Leonard E. Auty, also of New York, is a tenor whose pleasing voice and method have won for him recognition as one of the first tenors of New York city, where he occupies one of the best choir positions. Mr. Auty made many friends last season when he ap- peared with the club at its first concert, and he will doubtless renew the favorable im- pression then ¢reated. Mr. Eugene Weiner is one of the few masters of the flute, and as such his serv- orchestras, as well as for solo work. As the originator and Girector of the New York Philharmonic Club he has brought that or- ganization to its present high state of artist- ie excellence. Mr. Sol. Marcosson is a pupil f d’Ahne and Joachim and is thoroughly imbued with the spirit imparted to him by those great masters of the violin. His posi- tion as one of the first of our American violinists is assured. The New York Philharmonic Club has for sixteen years furnished the standard of chamber music, and has become well known to the musical public from one end of the country to the other. Its personnel is al- ways of the highest order, and the an-] nouncement of its appearance carries the! assurance of a thoroughly satisfactory ren- dition of the numbers assigned to it. Rev. Mr. Nourse's Lecture.—Rev. Robert Nourse, who several years ago left the pul- yit for the platform, delivered an interest- ing lecture last evening in the Tabernacle | Congregational Church on “Dr. Jekyll and ; Mr. Hyde.” The lecturer gave a resume of | the story and then .nterpreted it as a par- able of the two phases of human life—the good and the bad—and showing the possi- bilities of development in each. Carroll Institute Dramatic Club.—Great preparations are being made by the Carroll Institute Dramatic Club for their initial bow before the public at the hall of the institute this evening, in “An Evening with Shakespeare.” Since the determina- tion of the club to appear before the public they have been assiduously at work re- hearsing the various scenes from Shake- sperian dramas, and those who have been fortunate enough to be present at these rehearsals are confident that the perform- ance will be an artistic success. Mr. Vin- cent Lynch, who will appear in the title role of Hamlet, has been untiring in his | efforts to bring the organization up to the |. highest standard. The enthusiasm mani- fested by his company bids fatr to make it the leading amateur dramatic organiza- tion of the District. There are at least half a dozen members of the company who are talented and their work, it is believed, will compare favorably with many who have had years of professional experience. Among these are Miss Helene Lackey, Miss Cocker and Messrs. Lynch, O'Connor, Cocker and Walsh. All the different scenes will be appropriately costumed and noth- ing will be left undone to make the club's first appearance a success. —_ Advice From the Bench. In Judge Kimball's court today Thomas Dilton, alias Harris, a colored man, ap- peared as a defendant in a case. Officer Williams stated that the accused had been living with the keeper of a house in the Di- vision, and, so far as he knew, the man has| done no work for a long time. He has been} living with this woman for some time. “I've been living with her for sixteen years,” said the defendant. “Then it is about time you were moving,” | said the court, “and living in a respectable | locality and earning your living. A person who lives in this way Is a vagrant, and you) will not live there again for three months.” | ‘The court requested him to give security in} the sum of $100 or go down for ninety days. Oliver West, also colored, was another prisoner. He was released from the work- house a few days ago, and since then he has been hanging about the locality mentione: and has participated in several fights. He was given thirty days. > Taken to Rockville. Willis Johnson, the colored man arrested | on suspicion by Officer Hutton on Tuesday, | was taken to Rockville yesterday by Sherift | 8. T. Mullican, he having confessed to 4 caping from the jail the Jay before. PIMPLES, BLOTCHES And eruptions completely vanish before s steady use of Beecham’s Pills (Tasteless) Worth a Guines Box.
