Manager Bayly of the National Sanitary Company was summoned before them sev- eral days ago, and asked what his com- pany proposed to do with the garbage this summer. His reply was rather indefinite. He stated there would be a meeting of the bondsmen of the company shortly, when it | would be definitely determined what the course of the company would be. This morning Manager Bayly called at the District building and had a conference with the Commissioners. He stated that the re- celvers for the company had applied to the | court for an order to sell out the National | Sanitary Company to satisfy the claims of its creditors. The president of the Fidelity immediate action gentleman will represent to the Commis- stoners that the bondsmen are willing to complete the contract under certain condi- tions. These conditions are that a reason- | able appropriation be obtained for destroy- \ing the garbage, and a contract for ten years to do the work. It is claimed by the/ | bondsmen that it would be folly to enter | into a contract for a shorter time, and the; | clte the history of the Sanitary Company 4 evidence. That company erected a plant at a cost of $80,000, and during its palmiest days there never was a time that it paid expenses. President Warfield of the Fidel- ity Company will make a proposition to re- construct the garbage plant at the foot of South Capitol street, with the understand- ing that if a contract for ten years 1s awarded the plant will be removed within two years, and placed wherever the Com- missioners may determine. The nearness of | summer, he will say, makes it totally im- practicable to locate anywhere else than at! the foot of South Capitol street. There a new plant can be erected within six weeks, while it would require as many months to build it elsewhere. Meanwhile complaints are beginning to come in. The recent warm spell has stirred | citizens to action, and there have been a} number of complaints already received. From down the river, where the contractor has been In the habit of depositing the gar- bage, the farmers are complaining that they want no more, and its continued dump- ing is a menace to health. Then the great question arises, “Where is the garbage to be deposited?” The Contract. This is what the contract says on this subject: “AN garbage and dead animais must be | incinerated or removed by rail or water be- | yond the limits of the District of Columbia | to a place or places to be approved by the health officer.” It is claimed by the Sanitary Company | that a proper construction of this means that the health officer {s to find a place out- side of the city where the garbage must be deposited. There is no place on either the Virginia or Maryland side of the Potomac, within a reasonable distance, where the garbage can be deposited. In the mean- time it ts being piled up at the points of | shipment in the District to such an extent | jas to make it a menace to health. The | contractor, when called upon to remove it says all right, where shall we take it. This is embarrassing to the health officer, who knows of no place. It is no secret that the garbage is being dumped into the river. When it happens that the tide is ebb, noth- ing is heard of it, but it is by no means an} unfrequent occurrence that it is dumped on the flood tide, and much of it finds its way back in front of the city. Commissioner Truesdell. under whom the irect charge of the disposition of garbage comes, is giving considerable time to a study of the situation. He says he is de- termined to compel a strict compliance with the terms of the contract, and'do all in his power to help matters. —_— > PRINCETON NEXT. i | The Georgetown ‘Varsity Nine to Play the “Tigers.” The Georgetown University base ball team | will play the Princeton team tomorrow af- | ternoon at Capitol Park. An intezesting | and hard-fought game is certain. The visi- tors are eager to get revenge for last year's defeat, while the Georgetown boys believe | that they can win another ball, Phil King of this city plays second base for the visi- tors; Trenchard, the captain of the foot ball | team, will also play. A party of 300 from Baltimore will be over. Already the sale of tickets has been large. The batting order of the team follow: Princeton—King, second base; Payne, cen- ter fielder; Mackenzie, left fielder; ‘T'rench- ard, right fielder; Williams, catcher; Gun- ster, third base; W. D. Ward or Otto, first base; Brooks or F. H. Ward, shortstop; Forsythe or Altman, pitcher. Georgetown—Harley, shortstop; E. Ma- honey, second base; Cotter, first base; Dowd, pitcher; G. Mahoney, catcher; Car- lon, third base; Murphy, right fielder; Car- mody, center fielder; Bahen, left tlelder. It seemed to be Washington day in base ball circles yesterday. The Y. M. C. A. team won from Yale University at Y. M. C. A. Park, 6 to 2; at the same time Ge town walked away with Columbia College of New York, 28 to 0. Yale secured only six hits off Colliflower, while the Columbias ob- tained only three off Carmody. The local teams in both games outbatted and cut- fielded the visitors. | —>— FIRST PROFESSIONAL GAME. The Public Can Size Up the New “Sena- tors” Tomorrow. Everything is in readiness for the opening base ball game at National Park tomorrow | afternoon. The Washington players, in open | carriages and clad in the new uniforms, will parade through the principal stresis. start- ing from the grounds at 1:30 o’clock. The game will start promptly at 4:30 o'clock. Manager Schmelz has allowed the teams to select their captains and batteries, with the following result: “Kids""—Joyce, captain; Mercer and Dug- dale, battery. “‘Vets"—Wise, captain; Petty and McGutre, battery. ‘The teams remained at the hotel this morning and practiced signals. A different | code is used by the old men from that of | the youngsters and {t was therefore neces- sary for them to use separate rooms. Should the present inclement weather con- tinue, work in the gymnasium will be re- sumed tomorrow morning; but unless it rains or turns decidedly cooler the game will be played as arranged for. Catcher McMahon is expected to arrive tomorrow morning. He will play first base for the “Vets.” _——. A Kindergarten Festival. An Easter celebration and festival was in- dulged in yesterday afternoon at No. 67 U Street northwest by thirty little pupils of Mrs. Louise Pollock's free kindergarten. The methods of the institution were demon- strated, eggs and souvenirs given to the children, and Rev. Frank Sewall gave the teacher two gold medals to be worn each week by the scholars most deserving. ‘This free kindergarten, which was established in 1883, 1s supported by subscriptions, which come principally from the ladies of the cab- inet and the legations. The singing of the children was greatly enjoyed, and their po- lite behavior was a matter of general re- mark. Good Templars on Gen. Nenl Dow.

The Stoddard Lectures.—China was not} much to the liking of Mr. John L, Stoddard, the famous traveler and lecturer, and his description of life there was rather unat-/ tractive as compared with Japan. For this reason, it was with seeming pleasure that he took his audience with him last evening | on a voyage “From Ceylon to the Hima- | layas.” For those who have neither time | nor money to make the trip around the} world, this series of lectures has been of immense interest and value. It is giving them admirable idea of oriental life and | manners. The ocean voyage to Colombo he | described as one of the most delightful he had ever taken, under a cloudless sky and over a stormless sea. His picture of life in iombo was a fascinating one, or would have been had it not been that he was | compelled to talk so much of the intense | heat and the red dust that penetrates every nook and cranny. Pictures of the unique | modes of conveyance that prevail here amused the audience greatly. They were two-wheeled carts drawn by slow-moving bullocks and driven by natives whose cos- tume consisted of a handkerchief about the waist, a tablecloth about the head and a/ Hberal coating of palm oil. The manifold | uses of the palm tree were described at length, and the lecturer showed how this might well be regarded as their staff of life, furnishing, as it does, food, clothing, materials for house building, fuel and, prac- tically, all the necessaries. Leaving Colombo, the principal sea port, behind, Mr. Stoddard took the audience on a trip into the interlor to Kandy, the capi!- tal of the island. From there they jour- | neyed to Bombay, which he described as the best-built city in India, a fact which is largely due to the generosity and culture of the Parsees. Pictures were shown of the famous towers of silence, where the Par- sees leave their dead on iron gratinge to be | devoured by the vultures who are hover- | ing near waiting for their food. On they | went from here to Jeypore, a little toy kingdom, but a gem of the orient. Mr. Stoddard spoke of the methods folowed by | the British in their treatment of the native rulers of India; those who object to Eng- | lish domination are simply pushed aside and pensioned off; those who gracefully yield are allowed to play at being kings, but there is always with them an English resi- dent to act as adviser. It is only the all- powerful devotion to the principle of caste prevailing in India that enables the British to maintain their supremacy. The question is often asked whether, if the Russians ap- peared at the northern gates of India, they would be welcomed by the natives. ‘Hun- dreds answered no, but thousands whis- pered, earnestly, “yes."" Benares, the sacred city of India, re- ceived more attention than any other branch of the lecturer’s subject. This is the famous city by the Ganges, which is be- loved and sacred to countless milllons,more than ts Jerusalem or Mecca. For the Hin- doo to die in Benares is proof positive that he will go direct to the land of the blessed; consequently, tis is the objective point for more pilgrims than any other place in the Mr. Stoddard himself having seen more than thirty thousand ensconced by the banks of the Ganges, lost in meditation and prayer, or laving themselves in the waters of the sacred river, which is filthy and pol- luted beyond all powers of description. They bathe and then they drink of the water, so that it is no wonder there is always cholera in Benares. The temple of the monkeys, the sacred well where pilgrims bathe and drink, and the heifers, which described at length. Leaving Benares, the journey was made to the foothills of the Himalayas, those magnificent and inde- scribable “hills of snow.” Numerous pic- tures of these wonderfully inspiring moun- tains were given and the series showing the change in effects by dawn, broad daylight, sunset and moonlight, was one of the most remarkable set of stereopticon views ever seen in this city. This same lecture will be repeated ‘to- night and tomorrow night,and tomorrow af- ternoon, 2 there will be a matinee de- — to the picturesque side of China and japan, Miss Welch’s Lectures.—The ‘Pilgrims and Puritans’ is the subject of the last lecture of the second course on American History by Miss Jane Meade Welch, it the Builders’ Exchange Hall, at 11:30. to- morrow morning. Mrs. Cleveland will at- tend, as will also a large number of promi- nent ladies who have been greatly interest- ed in Miss Welch's very entertaining lec- tures. Mr. Benson on ‘“Economics.”—It has been recently stated that John B. Gough, at his best moments, in the prime of his achieve- ments, never equaled Luther Benson, and the people of Washington will have an op- portunity to test the truth of the assertion Mr. Benson {ts to deliver his greatest lec- ture, entitled “Economics.” Mr. Benson spoke on Wednesday evening last at Dum- barton Church, Georgetown, his subject being “Fifteen Years in Hell.” On that oc- easion he earned golden opinions, and show- ed himself to be a powerful speaker, with great personal magnetism, holding closely the attention of the audience until he con- cluded. ‘Economics” is sure to prove in- teresting,as handled by Luther Benson,and, will be tested tonight. Miss Field on “Charles Dickens.”"—Charles Dickens’ will be the subject of Miss Kate Field's lecture in the banquet hall of the Shoreham, commencing at 8:30 o'clock to- morrow evening. It would be useless to to praise Miss Field, for she is too ally known. The lectures of the course have attracted large au- present diences, and as but three more are to be given, advantage should be taken of the op- portunity to secure tickets at once. —— Father Stafford to Preach Tonight.

Jasper Y. Moora, clerk of the United States district court, committed sui- cide yesterday at that place by shooting herself with a shotgun. tier son, Clarence Moore, who lives here, left iast evening for Clarksburg, and his wife went today to her home in Philadeiphia, where che will remain during the absence of her husband. Col. Moore is reported to be prostrated by the calamity. Mr. Henry M. Earle, a friend of Mr. Clar- ence Moore, stated to a Star reporter today that “Mrs. Moore had been ill for the past month and on two occasions Mr. Clarence Moore had been called home to see her. The deceased was in this*eity day before yesterday on her way home from Atlantic City. Her son and his wife spent the day with her. Mrs. Moore wos suffering, I un- derstand, from nervous prostradon and some internal trouble which she appre- clated was incurable. As to the alleged divorce proceedings published this morning, I can only say that tt is an absolute false- hood. Mr. Clarence Moore some years ego was interested with his uncle, Judge Goff, in his campaign for the senatorship. Mr. Moore ran on the ticket with Judge Goff for secretary of state. Jie ts a republican and his political enemies some weeks ago published an article ‘n a local paper al- leging that his wife was about to institute divorce proceedings. No names were men- tioned. This article was subsequently re- tracted aud apologized for by the editor.” —__. A Novel Charity Entertainment.
