Action of the Joint Committee From Mary! and Virginia. The joint committee from the Maryland and Virginia legislatures met yesterday in this city in accordaace with a joint reso- lution adopted in both legislatures for the purpose of securing a concurrent tonging and dredging season for the two states. ‘The committee decided to report to the two state legislatures a law providing for be- ginning the tonging season on the Ist of September, ending April 25, and beginning the dredging season on October 15, ending March 15. This agreement practically moves the Maryland tonging season up fifteen days, as it now opens on the 15th of September. It also lengthens the season five days, as the present laws in Maryland forbid tong- ing after the 2th of April. The present laws of both states provide for @factly the same season, beginning October 15th and ending April Ist. The agreement reached yesterday cuts off the last fifteen days of this season in both states. Senator Stubbs of Virginia and Delegate Legg of Maryland were appointed a com- mittee to draw up a joint resolution em- bodying the results of the conference, to be presented to the two legislatures. The joint committee then adjourned. fers Sais The National News Bureau Case. ‘The case of A.

The entertainment given under the auspices of the I. O. O. F. of the District at Odd Fellows’ Hall iast Tuesday night for the benefit of the relief fund was succ fully repeated last evening.

Pentulpha Lodge Entertained by George Washington's Old Lodge. The members of Pentalpha Lodge of Ma- sons joined last night, as guests, with Alex- andria-Washington Lodge of Alexandria in| an appropriate celebration of Washington's birthday. Alexandria - Washington Lodge is the one over which George Washington presided as worshipful master, and the old lodge room, where the meeting was held last night, is filled with Masonic relics of the father of his country. The members of Pentalpha Lodge, 154 in number, went to Alexandria early in tne evening on a special train of five cars. A lodge meeting was held by Alexandria-Washington Lodge, having as their guests Pentalpha Lodge and also the members of Andrew Jackson Lodge of Alexandria. During the evening! a past master's jewel was presented to Harry Washington Smith of Pentalpha by Jose M. Yznaga, on behalf of the lodge. Pentalpha Lodge presented to Alexandria- Washington Lodge as a_token of fraternity a charter case, Mr. A. G. Heylmun making the presentation speech. During the even- ing, also, Mr. W. H. Douglas of St. John’s Lodge of this city took occasion to pre- sent a charter case to Andrew Jackson odge. After the formal ceremonies in the lodge room the Alexandrians and their guests adjourned to the commandry room, where a sumptuous banquet was served and the night was given up to feasting and elo- quence.

Its Removal and ¢ Grading of 16th Street. The standpipe that so long dominated the landscape on the northern side of the city, being conspicuous from points as far distant as,the White House, has at last been demolished, the finishing touches in the work of demolition being given this week. A horse tackle was hitched to the top of the great iron mass and it was slow- ly pulled over, two days being required to bring it down. When balanced on one cor- ner, with blocks holding it in position, and on the point of falling, a fire broxe out within a block and the 1,500 negroes and whites gathered about had hard work to choose between the two spectacles, But when three fire engines had finally toiled up the hill there was a general scamper for the fire. The standpipe, when it finally fell, did so with a mighty crash that could be heard all over northern Washington. Now that the last vestige has been finally removed Contractor Gleason says he wiil continue the grading of the street nearly as far north as Erie street, when the arount involved in his present contract will be expended. This will leave but a short link of easy grading to reach the Co- lumbia road, which, when widened to 100 feet, as now arranged for, will make a handsome connection between the north- west part of the city and the drives on the nerth. The heaviest cutting on. 16th street, which has been watched with great inter- est as it progressed, is immediately back ot ex-Senator Henderson's mansion, who, on account of it, found a restraining wall necessary arcund his premises, and a very handscme one was built. The cut at this point is over 24 feet. Prospect street and Crescent street, which have so long had no existénce except cn the maps, where they appeared as two! parallel, circular streets running west from 16th south of the standpipe, have nuw been cut through, leaving high embank- ments on each hand. Crescent was exc vated at the expense of Drs. Sowers and May, who own several lots on both sides of the street. Dr. Sowers has nearly com- pleted the work of bringing his high ground on the north side of Crescent street down to grade. As soon as his job is finisned Contractor Gleason will commence the re- moval of 30,000 yards of dirt from the south side of the street for Dr. May. These tre- mendous excavations on the top of the nill have already worked a marked change in the appearance of the locality. Two results are already manifest. Su- perior street, so long a ravine leading from 1¢th street just north of the standpipe southwest for a distance of two blocks, bordered on the north side by the long row of lots owned by the Blaine estate, has been brought to grade, and along with it the Blaine lots. Contractor Gleason says; he told Mrs. Blaine this work should not cost her a cent, as he would do it in mem- ery of the friendship which he had for Mr. Blaine. The second result alluded to is the moving of the apex of the 1th street hill north to near the intersection of Erie street. At this apex the new Hancock Circle has been located under the recent act of Congress orde! its removal. > Death of Mrs. Be bain, News has reached here that Mrs. ‘Adolph Boisebain, formeri Miss Aana died in Paris, France, on Fed". an illness of only four pneumo| Her husband reach New York Sunday on 1 with the remains. ‘rhe interment will be heli from the home of hi tather, | Gen, Magee, at Watsins, N.

The rive> was much Swollen by the recent snows, and consider- able difficulty was experienced in reaching Dixie landing, where the heavier rapids be- gan. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to ascend these rapids, but the cur- rent being stronger than the crew the party landed on a point and enjoyed a huge camp fire and oyster roast, after which they re- turned to the city. ‘The Aunual Dinner. This outing was but preliminary to the more important event of the evening, the celebration of the eighth annua} dinner of the Washington Canoe Association. At 6:30 Pp. m. most of the members had assembled | at the National Hotel, where after a short social meeting in the parlors the canoeists gathered about a long table in the banquet | room, which was handsomely ‘lecorated with cut flowers and cance banners. After the elaborate menu had been disposed of, Commodore Bernard R. Green made the opening address of the evening in reference to the past history of the association, and then called upon various members, who contributed much to the enjoyment of the evening by their remarks, The Speechmaking. The first speaker was Dr. Frank T. Howe, @ guest of the association, who responded in a happy vein, complimenting the club upon their success in the past und predict- ing an enjoyable year that was just berin- ning. The secretary, Mr. Otis B. Goodall, read the log for 1893, and presented the chair- man with a new gavel for the use of the es- sociation, a full grown hatchet, which is the token of the Canoe Association. Prof. S. M. Ryder next related anecdotes relat to his travels and experiences afloat and ashore, Dr. T. Eugene Oertel, who came over from New York to attend the dinner, described a recent trip up the Hudson river in company with Commodore Irving V. Doriand of the American Canoe Association to select a site for the annual camp of the aA. C, A. this summer. Mr. J. A. Oliver, a well-known canoeist and oarsman, gave some intezesting facts about the early days of the Washington Canoe Club, and spoke of the great benefit derived from aquatic sports, and especially canoeing. Some Thri ng Eapericnces. The next speaker was Dr. J. R, Church, who spoke in a most interesting way of the perils of himself and his associates in sav- ing the oid Canoe Club house from destruc- tion by the flood of June, 188), which proved so disastrous on the Potomac. Mr. Andrew Devine spoke of his canoeing experiences in New ‘York and on the St. Lawrence, and also mentioned that the earliest known rec- ord of canoeing on the Potomac was when trappers used to bring down their hides and furs. from the mountains and carry them down the river and bay and along the At-| lJantic coast in their frail craft for barter at the larger towns. of an alligator expedition on the coast of Florida and the Miami river, giving many valuable facts regarding the methods of pursuit and capture and the boats used. The final speaker of the evening was Mr. I. P. Libby, who gave a characteristic ad- dress and sang a song. At suitable intervals during the evening the lively canoe songs were sung by all present, with piano and violin accompaniment by ‘Dr. B. W. Su: my and Mr, J. Fred Oertel, and the solo: were finely rendered by Gene Oertel and Bob Church. Officers: Elected. The senti * of the association, espectal- ly the olde ‘s.

Oc- cupying seats upon the platform, in addi- tion to the apostolic delegate, were Dr. Papi, Mgr. Sbaretti, Representative W. Bourke Cockran, Gen. R. G. Dyrenforth, Rev. Fa- ther Tarro of Ellicott City, Md.; Dr. Quinn of the Catholic University, Father Mackin, Brother Romuald, superior of the order in the Baltimore district; Brother Dennis of Baltimore, Brother Morris of Rock Hill Col- lege, Rev, Father Lee, Brother Quintinian, ex-Gov. Fletcher and Gov. Hoyt of W oming. An admirable program had been provided for the entertainment of the guests. The program was as follows: “Secret Wish- es,” piano, Harry C. Miller; address, Broth- er Fabrfctan; address of the students, Ed- mund M. Power; address of the alumni, James F. Shea; violin solo, H. F. Schenuit, “Washington,” Harry K. Bentley; “King Robert of Sicily,” Joseph J. Murphy: “Dio Possente,” solo, Prof. Mariana Maina; “The ecution of Montrose,” Andrew J. Sheridan. At the conclusion of the piano recital, with which the program commenced, Broth- er Fabrician of St. John’s College made an address, in which he referred to the good work of the Catholic schools in this coun- try, more than 4,000 in number. The Amer- ican public school system, as an institution for imparting human knowledge, he con- sidered was the grandest system that could be devised, but it did not fulfill all that the Catholics of the country would like to have in that it did not give due attention to things divine. In his opinion, the Catholic Chureh had never intended nor endeavored to obtain state ald for Catholic schools by unconstitutional methods. Mar. Satolli’s Address, One of the most important and interesting speeches of the evening was the address of Mgr. Satolli, who was attired in the full robes of his office. His address had been translated into English and was read by his secretary, Dr. Papi. in it he expressed his gratification at the honor shown him by this noble in- stitution of learning of the order founded by the great La Salle, and he spoke of the work of such schools as of the utmost value for the reason that they reached the heart as well as the mind and brought forth new spirits for the church. He referred in elo- quent terms to the great father of this coun- try and the importance of the day that we celebrate in such a noble manner. He paid a high tribute to the value and usefulness of liberal education in this great country of freedom. His address was received with generous applause by the large audience. Brother Fabrician said that he would not be fulfilling his full duty, if, with such a prominent man and representative Catholic on the platform as Representative Cockran, he fatied to call upon him for at least a brief ad Mr. Cockran’s appearance at the fr the stage was the signal for a He made a most holic Church and work in this country.

The life of civili- zation must depend upon Christian teach- ing, and our present Christian civilization | based upon the tenets of a church which 8 always insis: upon devotion to wo- man and the sanctity of the home. Mr. Cockran and Education, In conclusion, Mr. Cockran said that he of th before this country had been discovered, glorious edifices which only an abiding faith could ever have raised.

The committee of the patriotic societies, | Sons of the Revolution, Order of Cincinnati, | &c., is taking active steps to secure control of Bedloe’s I id, New York harbor, to- Bartholdi statue of Liberty, | for the avowed purpose of assuming all ex. | pense connected with the maintenance of | the electric light in the torch of that statue. The island is the property of the govern- ment, and is under the joint jurisdiction of the War and Treasury Departments. It was originally entirely under the jurisdiction of the War Department. Soon after the erec- tion of the statue, however, jurisdiction of @ portion of the island was transferred to} the Treasury Department, for the execu-| tion of the provisions of an act of Congress appropriating $10,000 for the maintenance of an electric light beacon in the bronze torch held aloft by the figure of Liberty, to carry out the beautiful sentiment of “Liberty en- lightening the world.” The light was also intended as an aid to navigation and its maintenance was ertrusted to the light house board. This Was several years ago and the appropria- tion had been regularly made each suc- Senne, YGar and credited to the general ‘or light house purpos — ed navigation, lusidiens <nnsk short time ago the light house board reported to the Secretary of the Treas- ury that the Liberty light was not at all essential to the proper navigation of New | York harbor and that there was no neces- sity for its further use in that connec- tion. For this reason the board said it was unfair to charge the expense of its maintenance against the general fund for the Nght house establishment proper, espe- cially when the $10,000 annually appro- priated for the light could be much more advantageously employed in the estab- Mshment of lights that are urgently needed in the true interests of navigation. The board wanted it understood that it did not object to the light, but as it was not an aid to navigation the board did object to having the expense of its mainte- nance taken out of the appropriation for lights when that appropriation is barely sutficient to meet the actual necessities of the service, ‘To Keep the Light Burning. The Secretary of the Treasury fully in- dorsed the position taken by the board and has suggested to the House appropriations committee that no provision be made for the continuance of the light after the first of July next. This action on his part has stirred up considerable opposition, especizl- ly among the patriotic societies, and they have started a movement to insure the continuance of the light for all time. ‘They are willing to assume all expenses connect- | with the care and maintenance of the statue, provided the government will give them jurisdiction over the island. The con- dition is a most important one and is not at all likely to meet with the favor of the representatives of the government. The is- land is valuable property and would prove a highly profitable investment for anybody who could secure control over it, as it con- stitutes one of the pleasantest resorts any- where in the vicinity of the metropolis. Although the patriotic societies may meet with considerable trouble in obtaining a fee simple to Bedloe’s Island, it will probably not be so difficult to obtain permission to care for and maintain the statue. The Sec- retary of the Treasury has anticipated the action of Congress in discontinuing the light after the first of July next and has asked the Secretary of War to relieve the Treasury Department of further responsi- bility in the matter. He desires to relin- quish all jurisdiction over the island or any portion thereof and requests that the island be restored to the War Department. There will be no difficulty in making this transfer, provided the Secretary of War is willing, of which there is no doubt, but it will take an act of Congress and ‘nothing less to transfer the island and improvements to the control of private individuals, even though they be banded together for purely pairtotic pu and desire to get possession of the island merely the light shining in the torch of Minister Thurston to Speak.

Rear Admiral Skerrett, commanding the Asiatic station, has reported to the Navy Department, under date of Yokohama, Feb- ruary 1, that variola has broken out on the Concord, and that six cases (all enlisted men) have been transferred to the hospital. He says the vessel has been quarantined and thoroughly fumigated, and expresses the belief that the disease has been eradi- cated and that no more cases will cccur. Admiral Skerrett says that with the ex- cepticn noted the health of the squadron is excellent. ‘WORTH A GUINEA A BOX.” Bescham’s Pills (TASTLESS—EFFECTUAL.)
