The assessor for the District has noti- @ed the Commissioners that the draftsman connected with his office has been engaged for some time past in making plats of the various squares in the city of Washington, including all subdivisions and transfers by metes and bounds up to date. There are about 1,314 squares, including reservations, etc., some of which can be placed two on @ page, and by this means it is estimated that the total number of pages will not ex- ceed 1,200, which, when completed, are to be bound in eight separate volumes of 150 pages each. The draftsman has already completed 600 squares, enough for four volumes,which should be photo-lithographed as soom as practicable, in order that the original may be preserved from mutilation recessarily resulting from constant use. It will require about twelve sets of these eight volumes to supply this and the other offices of the District with a sufficient num- ber of copies. The Commissioners have awarded the contract for doing this work to A. G. Ged- rey at $1,950, and an appropriation will be asked to cover the cost. eis An Easter Floral Exhibit. The annual Easter floral exhibition by Jobn H. Smail & Sons is now open. The arrapgement of the beautiful flowers is artistic in the highest sense and the num- ber and variety of plants displayed are very large. There are anunciation lilies, azaleas, roses and other flowers suitable for the season, a these, with the rich abundance of ferns and other greens and the many vari-colored electric lights, make @ most attractive exhibit .hat should be seen by every one. —— Marriage Licenses.

HONORS FOR MAINE Thousands Send Hearty Congratu- lations to Neal Dow. THE CAUSE OF TEMPERA Speeches by Prominent Leaders in the Old Crusade. CE DISTRICT PROHIBITION ‘The largest gathering under the banner of temperance in the history of the District Was that which last evening crowded Con- vention Hall to its utmost capacity. Five jor six thousand persons, young and old, Protestant and Catholic, white and black, in Maine-a man known throughout the werld for the great work he has done in the cause of temperance, and a man be- loved and respected by all who know or have heard of him—the venerable Neal Dow of Portland, Me. who, yesterday, reached his ninetieth birthday. The meeting was attended by representa- tives from all the temperance organizations of the District, and by thousands, perhaps, | who, while not actively engaged in the work of temperance, have their sympathies im it. The meeting greatly resembled those held recently in the same hall by Messrs. Mcody and Sankey. There was the same great platform, the same immense choir ind orchestra, led by Mr. Percy S. Foster, end seated cn the platform were many of the clergymen of the District, numerous leaders in temperance, many members of beth houses of Congress, and not a few prominent citizens. The great choir render- ed many selections preceding the regular exercises of the evening, and also later in the program, with excellent effect. The Rev. Luther B. Wilson of the Washington District M. E. Church presided, and after the introductory service of music intro- duced the Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland, who invoked the divine blessing. Dr. Sunderiand’s Prayer. Oh, Thou Supreme and Ever-living God,” he prayed, “whose days are ever lasting and works fail not, we come to Thee. We stand before Thee, amazed and confounded by that black veil which hangs over us. Out of the depths of this evil Thou hast these latter days lifted us up and made clear the way; thanks to those noble men ‘and women who have, under Thy guidance and care, done so much to rid the world of the awful abomination. We thank Thee for him whose birthday we observe tonight; for his work and his example, and that he is still spared to us. May the last days of his noble life be his best days. Bless, O God, this vast assemblage, and the many organizations here represented. Bless, too, all those throughout the world who ‘are seeking to repress the curse of HMquor and all its evils.” Mr. Dingley's Tribute. Mr. Wilson then explained that the meet- ing was not held so much with the purpose of honoring Gen. Dow, as it was to co- operate with him in the undertaking which had characterized his fe. But all honored the noble old man and his life work and gloried in its success. Mr. Wilson then pre- sented Representative Nelson Dingley of Maine, a lifelong friend of Gen. Dow. Mr. Dingley said that it was a special pleasure and honor to stand in the presence of such a vast audience at the capital of the country, gathered together to pay homage to Neal Dow. He had, forty-three years ago, when a mere boy, first met Mr. Dow at the capital city of the state of Maine, where he was working day and night, in season and out of season, for the cause of tem- perance. It was then that Neal Dow, see- ing the downward course of a friend, ap- pealed to a rumseller to sell him no more. The dealer's answer was one familiar to all temperance workers: “I have a license. It is my business to sell liquor.” Raising his eyes to heaven, Neal Dow exclaimed, “Heaven help us, we will change all that.” And he kept his word, explained Mr. Ding- ley, and since 1851 the licensed sale of in- toxicating liquors in the good old state of Maine had been made impossible, and, thank God, its prohibition laws could never be repealed. Mr. Dingley then spoke more fully of the work of Neal Dow, not only in his native state and land, but also throughout the world. Three times he had visited Great Britain, and today no American wa’ more honored and respected by the English than was Neal Dow. Although ninety years of age, Gen. Dow was today as vigorous is a man of fifty, and as active in the work of temperance as ever before. A Voice From Ohio. A cornet solo, “Hear Us, O, Father,” by Mr. Edward Tracy, followed Mr. Dingley’s remarks, and then Mrs. M. McClelland Browne, L. D., of Cincinnati, Ohio, was the next to speak. Mrs. Browne said to know was wisdom, to do was character. Those points char- acterized the life of Neal Dow, a man who grew younger as his days grew more. The wisdom of Neal Dew was practical, ob- tained by studying humanity and by apply- ing his knowledge to the benefit of that humanity he so thoughtfully studied. Some years ago, when she had the distinction of being the only female speaker on temper- ance in the state of Ohio, she met Neal Dow, and as she listened to His words, hon- est and simple, she learned to honor him and his life work. It was at a time when the women crusaders were doing such grand work in Ohio, and Mrs. Browne was loudly applauded when she said that if the work of those women had been followed by the lawmakers of the state the salvation of the poeple of the state would have been se- cured forever. His Courage. Courage was one of the leading character- isties of Neal Dow, and his championship of the cause of temperance in the days long ago best indicated that. Such cham- pionship required more courage then on his part than the going to war for his country in 1862. Would to God, cried Mrs. Brown, that the people of the District would peti- tion by every means the Congress of the United States to abolish the saloon. “De- | stro; said Mrs. Brown, in conclusion, “it is a radical word, but destroy, destroy the work of the devil. Do your Master's bid- ding—destroy the saloon.” Mrs. Brown's remarks created the great- est enthusiasm, and, after the choir had rendered “Throw Out the Life Line” with telling effect, Mr. Luther Benson of Indiana spoke briefly. The Reflex Action, Mr. Benson said that Daniel Webster, re- | plying to an inquiry, ome said that he would charge $00 for a fifteen-minute speech, and then spoke for an hour for $100, meaning that it was mighty hard to say anything in ten minutes. ife had but ten minutes allotted to him, end what h» would say would be like the old woman’s tea—not strong, but cheap. Mr. Benson then gave a | graphic picture of the results of iatemper- | ance. There was no temperance, he said, without prohibition. It was said that if you | left whisky alone it would let you alone. | That was a lie. There were millions of | heartbroken wives tn this land, millions of starving children, who had left whisky alone, but it had not left them alone. He referred to the fact that a jus- tice of the United States Supreme Court was | presiding at a meeting where a woman | spoke of the intemperance of prohibition, and said such things were wrong. Representative Morse of Massachusetts was then introduced for a five-minute speech, in which he said that the time was rapidly approaching, he believed, when a man will no sooner be allowed to sell liquor than a man would now be allowed to sell plague-infected clothing. He had seen a | great advancement in recent years of the | work of temperance, and as the years passed on the good accomplished would he all the greater. Dantel Webster, in his im- mortal reply to Hayne, closed with words to the effect that the Union was one and |tnseparable. He would say, “Christianity forever.” Preceding Mr. Morse’s remarks Prof. Fos. ter touchingly ndered “Somebody's Boy, } While the High School cadets made a col- lection. Chairman Wilson next introduced the Total Abstinence Society. Other Speeches. Mr. Foutz said he had come as a mere spectator, as one who sought to honor Neal Dow, a man whom all religions sought to honor. | Neal Dow no less than did those of the | other religions of the world. He brought to | the meeting a message of good cheer from the Catholie total abstinence societies, and lhe thanked God that there was no such were there to do honor to a man 'way down | }and total abstinence one and inseparable | Rev. A. J. Foutz of the Father ether The Catholics of the world honored | thing fighting the curse of intemperance. He took great pleasure and satisfaction in say- ing that the Catholic temperance world de- lighted to do honor to Neal Dow and his great work. Letters of regret were then read by Mr. A. L. Keen from Representatives Boutelle and Milliken of Maine, after which Repre- sentative J. A. Pickler of South Dakota was introduced. Blames the People. Mr. Pickler said that he had been engaged im temperance work for many year, but he had never seen so fine an audience, nur so grand a choir. It was a memorable occa- sion, one he would never forget. Mr. Pickler then said that there were 501 retail saloons here, just 561 too many; and 107 wholesale places, just 17 more than were needed. “Now,” asked Mr. Pickler, “‘who is to blame?” “Congress,” shouted @ man in the au- dience. “No, sir; Congress is not to blame. You people of the District are to blame. Go to Congress in all your might, demand prehi- bition for the District, and you will get it.” Representative Pickler’s remarks were en- thustastically applauded, and as the last speaker of the evening, the Rev. Walter If. Brooks of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Chureh was introduced. He stated that it )was fitting that one of his race should speak in honor of Neal Dow, for he had done much for the negro, as weil as for tem- perance. It was more men like Neal Dow that the country needed. There must be eal Dows all over the land. A Neal Dow was needed here in the District. But he thanked God that the good work was going on, and never until tonight had he seen such a grand gathering here in the interests of temperance. He thanked God for it, and asked that in the work of temperance every effort be made to enlist the negro. He promised that they would work willingly and earnestly. Mr. Brooks received quite an ovation at the close of his few words, and then the following resolutions were offered and unantmously adopted by rising votes: Resolutions Adopted. By Mr. R. A. Dinsmore of the Anti-Sa- Icon League: “Resolved, That we, the temperance peo- ple of the Dtstrict of Columbia, assembled in Convention Hall 6,000 strong to com- memorate the ninetieth birthday of Gen. Neal Dow of Maine, send congratulations to the greatest reformer of our time, and we shall ever pray for length of days for his finishing life.” By Mrs. Mary E. Griffith of the W. C. T. U., as folows: “Whereas we are convinced that the curse of our nation and of all the world comes from the liquor traffic; therefore, be it “Resolved, ‘That we who are here as- sembled for the celebration of the ninetieth birthday of the father of prohtbition do hereby appeal to the United States Con- gress to pass the bills now before the House for the prohibition of the Mquor traffic in the District of Columbia.” A message of love and encouragement was sent to Mrs. Frances E. Willard on the motion of Representative Pickler, and then the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. George Corey, the choir singing “The Cross, It Standeth Still. Hallelujah!” as the audience dispersed. Sixty High School cadets from the East- ern High School rendered great service in seating the vast audience. —_———_ INTEMPERANCE OF PROHIBITION. Miss Kate Field’s Lecture on That Subject Last Night. “Humanity ts divided into three classes, men, women and cranks,” said Miss Kate Field in her lecture on the “Intemperance of Prohibition” last night. “A crank ts a person who has looked so long at one ob- ject as to see it alone and to think it is the sum and substance of the universe, and that all who do not agree with him should be legislated out of existence or otherwise suppressed.” Miss Field was addressing an audience in the banquet hall of the Shoreham, gath- ered to listen to her fdeas about temper- ance. She had been introduced by Justice Field of the Supreme Court and had riveted the attention of her audience from the start, holding it throughout a long and intensely interesting lecture. She held that the cure for intemperance ‘n this country is not to be found in prohibition, for since the world began prohibition has not pro- hibited, but will result from the substitu- tion of Nght wines and beer for strong drink. the regulation of saloon traffic by high license and the abolishing of “perpen- dicular drinking” and “treating.” She exhaustively reviewed the history of attempts at prohibition in thts country and the failure of them. Prohibition she denounced as despotism and adverse to the principles of Mberty. Miss Field contended that a man’s sys- tem requires a certain degree of alcohol. When it is not given naturally, in the form of light wine or beer, it is taken in a deleterious form by consuming sweets. The sweets ferment in the stumach and produce alcohol. “Thus, in a group of prohibittonists we have a cordon of animated illicit distilleries that pay no tax to the goveryment. No Wonder they oppose high license.” In Italy and France, where every one uses ght wines, there is no drunkenness, but in Ireland and Scotland, where strong liquor is the beverage, the result is ap- palling. Miss Field referred to the fact that at the moment she was speaxing there Was a gathering in Convention Hall to celebrate the birthday of Neal Dow, the prohibitionist. “I hope Mr. Dow will live to be 1 years old and to see every prohibitory law wiped from the statute books.” —___ THE AMERICAN ATHLETIC CL A Base Ball Nine Soon to Be Put in the Field. A base ball team has been picked out by the American Athletic Club, which is com- posed of the following men: Gus Rothie, catcher; Cff Wright, pitcher; Flaherty, first base; Harry Poetzman, second base: Will Cohen, third base; Oscar Walters, short stop and captain; Cari Clifford, cen- ter field; John Sherman, left field, and W. Smith, right fleld. The team contains some crack players, and the manager, Mr. W. Dakin, would like togset dates with any other clubs in the’ Df€trict which are not in the District League, regardless of age or size. All communications should be addressed to his residence, 1325 14th street northwest. Two other teams will shortly be chosen from the members of the club, thus giving three nines to repre- sent the Americans on the diamond this summer. The club is now growing apidly, and has @ present membership of thirty. pe cstes Sout THE RTS. Equity Court, division 1—Justice Cox. Yesterday—Boswell agt.

Single ecture. The single taxers of this city are carry- ing on a revival at their hall, No. 919 F street northwest, and last night the meet- ing was addressed by Dr. Longstreet of Worcester, Mass. The lecture dealt with the first principles of political economy, and the speaker claimed that land and labor are the only necessary factors of production. Judge Maguire, Congressman from Cali- fornia, also spoke in explanation of the single tax, and answered questions from the audience. The subject is to be con- tinued this evening. es The Cattle Market. At the cattle market at the Washington Union stock yard at Benning yesterday | 86 cattle were on the market and sold as follows: Best, from 4c. to 4 1-4c. per pound; good, from 31-2c. to 38-4c. per pound; | medium, from 28-4c. to 31-4c. per pound; common, from 11-2c. to 2c. per pound.

State of the market ull. ee Business Looking Up. One hundted and fifteen packages of fish arrived at the river front this morning on the Norfolk steamer and the river steamer | Mattano, being the largest consignment of fresh fish recetved here for many years. They were all consigned to R. A. Golden, who reports they met with ready sale at good prices.—Advt. as creeds among those who were | AMUSEMENTS. Stuart Robson.—That inimitable comedian, Mr. Stuart Robson, will be at Albaugh’s Opera House next week and will present his elaborate production of Shakespeare's “Comedy of Errors.” His wok as one of the Dromios is well remembered by those who saw him in this character at the time he was associated with Mr. Crane, and it is not to be supposed that it has at all deteri- orated. On the contrary, more care has been given to all the details of the produc- tion of this comedy now, and it has met with the greatest success wherever it has been presented. The company is in every way a competent one, and the advance sule, which will commence tomorrow, may be ex- pected to be very large. Robin Hood.—The wealth of material in the Bostonians company was manifest last night, when Miss Bertha Waltzenger took the part of Maid Marian, and Mr. Chas. O. Bassett that of the title role. Mr. Bassett is well known as a tenor, and he acquitted himself creditably in the rendition of the charming music of his part. Miss Waltz- enger has a soprano voice of good quulity, flexible and well under control, and her graceful personality added vo the attractlye- ness of her impersonation. Tonight Miss Sanders will sing Allan-A-Dale, and those who are familiar with her voice praise it in the warmest terms. “Alvin Joslyn.”—That well-known figure in American comedy, Alvin Joslyn, as por- trayed by Charles L. Davis, will be at Jiar- ris’ Bijou Theater next Monday night for a week's engagement. Mr. Davis is now on a limited tour, including only the large cit- ies, and will positively appear at each per- formance. The company and the scenery come from the Alvin Theater in Pittsburg, which furnishes an imposing and convine- ing testimonial of the esteem in which this representative of rural humor is held by the Americar public. Mr. Davis carries a car load of special scenery, and pro; to make this production of “Alvin Joslyn” the most elaborate ever seen in this city. Par- ticular pains have been taken with the set- ting, which gives a full view of the brook- lyn bridge and the Kast river by moon- light. Many familiar and picturesque spots in New York are vividly depicted. Tne fact that the attraction is now in its sixteenth year affords conclusive assurance of the substantial character of its popularity. Performing Leopards and a Burlesque Company.—Prof. Ricardo’s group of per- forming leopards will be the special at- traction at the Lyceum next week. This will be the first appearance of these wonder- fal animals in Washington. Their fer- formance is described as being one of the most unique and interesting displays of animal sagacity ever witnessed. They are under the absolute control of Ricardo, and are sald to do everything but talk. They appear in conjunction with the Fay Foster Burlesque Company, an organization com- posed entirely of first-class artists, intro- ducing a number of bright new specialty acts and original features. In the company are Howard and Gilson, Leoni and Ever- etts, J. J. Fenton, the two Judges, Master Jack Fenton, Clarissa and others. Th2 en- agement begins with a special matinee on Easter Monday. The Stoddard Lectures.—This evening at the Academy of Music John L. Stoddard will give his lecture on China for the last time. Tomorrow and the remaining evenings of this week he will turn to India, giving the first of the two lectures on that country, under the title “From Ceylon to the Him- alayas.” In Ceylon the port Colombo and the old Indian capital, and one time chief | ad city of Buddhism, Kandy, well repay a visit. Then, reaching India at Bombay, this splendid capital is found a monument to the skill and enterprise of the English and the shrewdness and munificence of the Parsees, A few hundred miles from there is Jey- pore, one of the most fascinating cities in India, with its broad streets, lined with pink houses, and the true eastern flavor of its civilization and government. Still more noted is the sacred city of the Ganges, Be- nares, with its hundreds of picturesque temples and its myriads of worshipers, who travel thousands of miles to reach ft, con- fident that, dying there, they will reach par- adise. Perhaps more beautiful than anything eise will be the viston of the Himalayas, whose snow-crowned heights are to be revealed in magnificent fllustrations. The Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs.—Wash- ington soctety usually turns out in force to welcome the Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs on their visits to this city,and the concerts to be given by these organizations at Metzero:t's Music Hall on next Tuesday evening, March 27, will, without doubt, attract as large an audience as on each similar occasion in the past. The patronesses are Mesdames Adlai E. Stevenson, David J. Brewer, James McMillan, John Dalzell, E. L. tdal- laudet, G. W. McLanahan, W. C. Whitte- more, Wilson 8. Bissell, Henry B. Brown, E. O. Wolcott, W. P. Boardman, Parker Mann, C. H. Sherrill and W. H. Slack. Bischoff Concert Tonight.—The fourth Bischoff concert will take place this evening at the Congregational Church. In addition to vocal solos by Mrs. H. C. Browning, Miss Florence McNelly, Miss Goodwin, Miss Mad- dox, Miss Du Bois, Mrs. Raymoni, Mr. Fred. A. Grant and Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, Jr., Dr. Bischoff will render several organ solos. As is usual on such occasions, the church will probably be crowded. Prof. Cook's Lecture ‘onight.—Prof. George William Cook of Howard University will deliver a lecture on the world’s fair, supplemented with an exhibition of stere- opticon views, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M street between 15th ani 16th streets northwest, at 8 o'clock thia evening, for the benefit of the church. The lecturer is well known and may be expected to prove both entertaining and instructive. Luther Benson's Lectures.—Dumbarton Church, Georgetown, will be the scene of a temperance lecture this evening by Luther Benson, the well-known orator and author of “Fifteen Years in Hell ‘The affsir is under the auspices of the W. C. T. 1. At Metzerott Hall, on Friday evening, Mr. Benson will deliver his last lecture in Wash- ington, entitled “Economics.” Mr Benson is a powerful speaker, with great personal magnetism, and he holds the clese atten- tion of his audiences during the entire even- ing. The Boston Symphony Orchestra.—The last opportunity this season to hear the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Emil Paur, conductor, in Washington will be Monday evening next at Metzcrott Hall. Messrs. F. Busoni and Alwin Schroeder are the soloists, and the program will include symphony in B flat, No. 4, Beethoven; con- certo for violoncello and orchestra, ©. M. Loeffier; two movements from the sympho- nie Fantistique, Berlioz; Spanish rhapsody jfor planoforte and orchestra, Uiszt, and the overture, “Die Metstersinger,” Wagner. Mr. Montefiore Isaacs.—Mr. Monteficre Isaacs of New York will visit Metzerott Music Hall on Faster Monday afternoon, March 26, and give one of his fascinatmg sleight-of-hand seances for the benefit of the Association for Works of Mercy. Isaacs is said to be a delightful entertainer and a large audience will undoubtelly grect him here. “Our New Navy.”—Mr. Byron Williams will this evening deliver his new and hand- somely illustrated lecture at Metzerott Mu- sic Hall, entitled “Our New Navy,"which is said to be a master stroke in its line. The subject is one of peculiar interest at this time, and as Mr. Williams has made the matter a close study, he may he expected to furnish much information. Mr. Waring’s Lecture.—Mr. Everett J. Waring will deliver a lecture, ontitied “Shakespearean School of Ethic at Young Men’s Christian Association Hall, No. 1607-1609 11th street northwest, on Fri- day, March 23, for the benefit of the col- ored Young Men’s Christian Association. DEATH OF MR. McCORKLE. One of the Oldest Government Em- ployes in Continuo Service. Funeral services over the remains of Mr. Spencer C. McCorkle will be held at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the interment will be at Rock creek cemetery. The deceased, who died at Garfield Hos- pital yesterday, was born in this city June 23, 1825. He entered the coast survey ser- vice in August, 1848, and remained there until his death. He was promoted through all of the grades in the service to that of assistant, and served in almost every locali- ty along our Atlantic and gulf coasts. He was one of the oldest employes of the gov- ernment in continuous line of service, and enjoyed the confidence and affection of all. Mr. McCorkle never married. He left two ers, who reside in Philadelphia. > — Meetings for Boys and Girls. The series of meetings conducted by Miss Bessie B. Tyson, an assistant of Mr. Moody, at the Mount Vernon Place Church are oc- casions of great interest, and successful be- yond all expectations. The lower part of the audience room has been well filled every day at 4 p. m. with children from all parts of the city and many parents and friends have occupied seats in the galleries. Among the latter have been special workers from different churches, who have assisted at the after meetings held each day. The boy choir has been a great help in leading the | singing. Miss Tyson uses a blackboard in | her talks and makes plain by striking filus- trations the great truths which she teaches. Invitations have been received from a aum- ber of churches in different parts of the city for meetings to be held in each. Unless ¢alled away by Mr. Moody, it is believed Miss Tyson will remain here another week. Large numbers of the children have decided for Christ and are bringing in their class mates and companions from day to day to take a like step. The meetings will continue every day this week except Saturday, and will be kept up after Miss Tyson's depart- ure, as the committee may decide. <2 The Decorative Art Association.

Nash of Boston, while visiting at our house, met with an accident which nearly killed her. She fell from the hay mow to the barn floor, 18 feet below, and was rendered unconsctous. Her mother took her to the Boston City Hospital. The side of the head was badly crushed. Blood poisoning set in and the child @id not rally. She could not eat anything; her stomach threw off all nourishment. Her spinal Hood’s Sarsaparilia Cures cord and the cords of her neck were drawn up and ‘© copper color settled over her. I persuaded her mother to let me take the girl to our country home, and as soon as I reached home I commenced to give the child Hood's Sarsaparilla. It quickly over- came: her sickness and the stiffness left her neck. The good effects were also noticeable about the wound on her head. In less than a month she could Run About the Farm, and in a short time afterward she had fully re- covered her full strength and health, and it ts all due to Hood's Sarsaparilla.""
