Catlin, superintendent | of the department of Sabbath observance for the District, gave an instructive Bible lesson, and the meeting was thrown cpen for a free discussion on the subject. The conviction prevailed among the ladies of the union that the estimation in which the Sab- bath was held and its proper observance in @ community was an indication of the mor- als of that community. No Sabbath-break- ing city was a safe place to rear the young for honorable citizenship. Resolutions were adopted favoring the passaze by Congress of the bill offered by Senator Kyle for the Protection of Sunday in the District and protesting against the lecture delivered re- cently in this city by Col.

Humanity, he claims, de- mands the help of law against the liquor traffic.

The Past and Future of the Uni-| versity Well Told. THE BANQUET HELD LAST NIGHT Speeches by Prominent Graduates of the Local Institution. DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS The praises of Coiumbian University were | sung loud and long last night, at the annual j institution, at Willard’s Hotel. For five hours and a half the graduates of the dif- ferent departments of the university met together in reminiscent peace and comfort, despite the howling elements without. A reception was begun in the parlors of the hotel at 7:30, and from that hour untii | nearly 9 o'clock the graduates of last year [end for fifty years past met and chatted over the jolly days of university life and the prospects of the alma mater, which, to these faithful sons, appear to grow brighter with each successive reunion. When about a hundred had gathered, word was given that the banquet was in waiting, and a line was formed to the great dining hall, one |end of which had been screened off to ac- | commodate the diners. The line was head- ed by. Dr. Willian P. Carr, the first vice president of the Alumni Association. With | him at the head of the table, which was in the form of a fork with two very long tines, sat Justices Harlan and Brewer of the Su- | preme Court, Rev. C. TH. Ryland, secretary of Richmond College; Gen. A. W: Greely, Maj. J. W. Powell, Mr. Harry E. Davis and Judge A. B. Evans of the circuit court of Virginia. The tabie was handsomely dec- erated with large baskets of La France and American beauty roses, and at the head | stood an immense candelabra of silver, from which twinkled the lights of a score or more wax dips. An orchestra at the end of the room furnished music throughout the jevenins. Dr. Ryland offered the blessing at the table, and then, for upward of two hours, the banquet was discussed with true col- legiate appetite. Shortly before 11 o'clock Dr. Carr secured the attention of the small army of alumnt sitting below him and be- gan the more mental ceremonies of the evening by reading a telegram of regret from Mr. M. M. Parker, president of the | association, who is ill at Atlantic City. He | also read a letter from Dr, Welling, prest- | dent of the university, who was confined to his house by sickness. Dr. Welling wrote of the excellent conditon of the university at present and of the good prospects that | 1: would advance especially in the line of | higher education, which, he said, should be the aim of its trustees and its faculty for the future. He sent greeting to the alumni and wished them a pleasant reunion. ‘The College Growth. Dr. Carr said that, having cut the enemy to pieces and strewn the ground with his bones, the members of the association were mow ready to open their souls and drink in a feast of another kind. They had worked wonders, he said, putting evolution to the blush; they had turned oysters into men, and drops of wine into human beings. Both the university and the association, he added, had prospered during the past year. The association had gained eighty new members, and now numbered 720, while the | university had gained forty, and there are now enrolled a few more than 0 students. A considerable number of the new students are sons of alumni. “You see,” said Dr. Carr, “how you can all go to work and in- crease the matriculation list.” He then proposed that the alumni drink in silence to the memory of Dr. James H. Cuthbert, formerly vice president of the board of trustees, who died during the past year. | Dr. Carr introduced, as Dr. Weiling’s sub- stitute on the toast list, Mr. Harry FE. Davis, who fell heir to the toast “The Columbian University.” President Welling’s Work. Mr. Davis said that an alumni banquet without Dr. Welling was like the play of Hamlet without the star character. It was the first time that the students had had the misfortune in late years to gather in reunion without his genial presence. “Ever since he has tendered his resignation as president of the university,” continued Mr. Davis, “I have wondered what was coming next. We all fee! that Dr. Welling is a great man> and has done a great work, but great as he is he is not so great as the Columbian University. We shall grieve for him and miss him, but the university will so on without him as its head, as he well knows and feels. In his absence we can express ourselves as we would like. You are losing one of the best men in all the | world, than whom there is today no better | educated man in the United States. Every- thing he knows enters into the daily life of | those about him. He is a man of whom it is impossible to say too much in praise. Our loss, however, is to be the gain of a | larger circle than cur own. I am violating | no confidence when I say that he is en- gaged upon a werk that will be a contri- | bution to the literature and history of our country second to none that has come from an American of our generation.” Mr. Davis then passed from the educator Columbian tn the most hopeful vein. Washington, he said, is a great university in itself, the Columbian University stands | tie: The university today occupies ughout the university world a position of which all its graduates are proud. It is now known in corridors of Oxford and the groves of Cambridge, where before it was known only as a name. When the numer- ous attractions of other educational in- stitutions of this country are considered. the increasing matriculation of Columbian is remarkable. With local pride drawing students to various educational centers throughout the country, it is a gratifying showing that Columbian is able to fili its halls from every part of the country. There are here in Washington some of the most distinguished men in science, law and literature, who have been glad to give their services to the university almost for noth- ing, and it will names of the most distinguished men in their walks of life in this country will be read upon the catalogues of Washington's educa: ional institution. wn have ‘S$ ever since my Ken- friends"—with a twinkle of his eye toward Tudge Harlan, at his left—“have en acquainted with the race track.” This gave Mr. Davis a chance te speak of the | athletic association of the university, and he predicted that it would not be long be- fore people would wonder whether the foot | ball champfonship would go to his second | alma mater, Princeton, or to his first, Columbian.

He brought with him a message of fellowship from the Virginia alumni, whose name is legion. In 1845, when he entered Columbian, there were many lads from the old dominion drawn thither by the instructors from their own state. He mentioned the names of some of the pedagogues of the ‘40's, and dwelt with loving memory upon that of Prof. Huntington, who was present at banquet, and who, at this allusion, cheered to the echo by the graduates. The standards of Columbian then, said Judge Evans, was perhaps not so high as those of Princeton, Yale and Harvard, but the instructors were faithful and industrious and students were attracted here from all over the country. He described Prof. Hurt- ington as the connecting link between the college on the hill and the untversity in the city. Proceeding to another phase of his toast, he spoke of the great advantages cf- fered by Washington to students, and par- ticularly in line of observing functions of the government, realizing the grand con- struction of the Union and obtaining per- | spective view of the checks and balances cf the Constitution whereby the different ele- | ments of government are swung in unison. “I appeal to you,” he calied at the cli- max of his eloquent address, “and through you to the whole country, for the upbuildin; of Columbian University to make it stan the first in the land.” The Baby De; ‘tment. Dr. Carr introduced as the next speaker Dr. George W. Hay, whom he described as “one of those who are king makers be- cause they are so liberal in the distribu- tion of golden crowns.” Dr. Hay gave a comprehensive idea of the growth and development of the dental school feature of the institution. The dental department, he sald, though the baby of the university, is a lusty child and has passed the age of pap. It has established a standard of ex- cetience and thoroughness of instruction not to be excelled by any school in the country, Medical Advance. Dr. Sterling Ruffin responded for the medical school, the prospects of which, he said, were never so bright as today. At forty years the human life, he said, pro- fessionally, has lost the best activity of most of its functions, but at this age the medical school is today stronger and more active than it has ever been before. There have been improvements in the furnishings and facilities of the school during the past year, and, though numerous, they are to be taken as merely an earnest of those to come. It is no longer necessary, he sald, for students to go outside the District or to Europe for thorough medical instruc- tion, and the day is coming soon when the national capital will be the Mecca of those in search of the highest medical scienc It is the first duty as alumni, he went on, to take the bushel from around the light of at a former reunion by Dr. Prentice that each alumnus should seek during the en- suing year to interest at least one new student. “Then,” said he, “we shall, in- deed, be horse high, bull strong and pig tight.” Government Aid. Gen. Greely in speaking for the scien- tific school translated the Greek sentiment of his toast thus: “It will be a very cold day when the Corcoran Scientific School gets left.” He went on to speak of the value of scientific training, and instanced the case of Switzerland, which, without any natural facilities or geological fur- nishings, had established a reputation for scientific cult that has astounded the world. Going on to speak of the sacrifices that had been made by professors and students at the university, he said it was difficult for many to realize the grand possibilities of this country and of the twentieth cen- tury that had been made possible by just such self-sacrificing spirits. “What has the government done?” he asked, “for this university and for higher | education at its own capital? Practicaliy | nothing. Washington stands today a curt- ous instance of the neglect of the general government in this particular. There is not a city in the country worthy the name that hasn't a public library where men and wo- men of all classes can go to read and to | learn, There is no city in this country or (any other where the general government | does not give its thousands and tens of | thousands a liberal education. Here is giv- len no single dollar by the government for higher education. There is here no place where any man can go for higher educa- tion or for an industrial or technical edu- cation. It is a shame. In the absence of a friendly interest on the part of the govern- ment for this splendid institution, it is the duty of every man with an allegiance to his alma mater to stimulate each citizen to do something for the university. There is no state, however small, that does not receive money fronmi the government for higher education, and though here is where | the best of work should be done, this uni- versity must feed from the crumbs that fail from rich men's table: Praise for Judge Bradley. Justice A, C. Bradley was scheduled for a toast to “The law department,” but was |detaiped from the dinner, and during the | course of the evening Dr. Carr secured con- sent of Mr. B. H. Warner to act as his | proxy. Mr. Warner remembered that “it is | now tomorrow, whereas a few moments ago it was yesterday,” and made his speech | quite brief out of deference to the hour, He spoke of the great work done by the Co- Jumbian law school in furnishing legal tal- ent not only for the city, but for the coun- try at large, which, he said, has been pro- vided with district attorneys, judges and members of the bar with the most liberal | hand. He spoke in eloquent praise of the distinguished jurist whose place he occu- | pied, who, he said, stood as significant of upright law, nerve and public justice, an | honor alike to the bar and to Columbian University. “Always eager to give exact | justice and equity in his conduct of cases that have come before him,” continued Mr. | Warner, “Judge Bradley has waved aside | the frail technicalities of the law in order | to deal justly with crime and to give wrong | doing its proper merit. One such man is | worth all the technicalities of statutes that | can be devised, and he reflects credit today | on the university with which he was con- | | nected.” These words of praise were received with a round of cheers. Mr. Frank H. Hitch- cock, speaking for the students of the la | appeared in the role of a benefactor by s | rendering completely to time and making | the briefest speech of the evening. It was very nearly 1 o'clock when he said that his speech would be merely a proposition that the college cheer should be encouraged. Giving a sample cheer that had been de- vised for the law school, he called for its repetition by the alumni, who responded with hearty spirit. Immediately afterward there were calls for a speech from Mr. E. |B. Hay, without whom no Columbian re- | union would be complete. Mr. Hay also ac- | knowledged that he had been defeated by | the wielder of the world’s hour glass, and after a few breezy and characteristic re-| marks apropos of the occasion he proposed a verse of the good old song, “We Won't Go Home Until Morning,” which was given with the zest of truth, and the reunion was over.

Bold in its conception and suc- cessful in the ends at which it aimed, it attracted during last summer the attention not only of all the visitors to the world’s fair, but also aroused the curiosity and wonderment of the whole civilized world. For the many who did see it, for the many detained by sickness or some other ail- ments, and more especially for the muiti- tudes of unfortunates who were lacking in funds and were thereby precluded from ; Seeing the original Midway Plaisance, Man- | ager O. H. Butler has made an honest ef- | fort, so far as in his power lies and with | limited space at Convention Hall, to give | the public an exact representation of some |of its many villages, theaters and other | attractions. While it is to be far more | than a scenic reproduction, it makes no | pretension whatever to fullness of scien- | tifle information and accuracy. It is in- terded to simply convey as clear and ac- curate an idea as possible of the inhabi- tants, scenery, customs and general ex- ternal fcatures of the cosmopolitan popu- lation to be found in the various theaters, beauty shows, old Vienna, the German vil- lage, Irish village, Indian show, street of Cairo, Japanese and Turkish villages, &c., as it is possible to produce. A trip along this Midway Plaisance is a liberal educa- tion in itself. One shoulders the world as he moves. The tongues of uncounted nations ripple forth the genial speech of welcome. All is gaiety, life and beauty. The scenery for the production was painted by the great scenic artists, Messrs. Sos- man and Landis of Chicago, at a cost of over $10,000, and it is claimed by them to be the largest contract for scenery ever awarded in this country. Plaisance will begin its season of nine nights and eight matinees this evening at Convention Hall. Prices for children at the matinees will be 10 cents and for ladies 15 cents, General admission at night 25 cents. Miss Stuart’s Lectures.Miss Claudia Stuart's course of lectures on English lit- erature (Tennyson, Ruskin and the Brown- ings) will commence April 13 at the resi- dence of the Misses Strong, 1411 H street. Miss Stuart lectured to large audiences in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Richmond dur- ing the seasons of '93 and ’94. Japan and Corea.—Mr. A. B, de Guer- ville, late world’s fair commissioner to Asia, will deliver a lecture at Metzerott Hall on Tuesday evening next, giving his experiences at the courts of Japan and Corea and in China. He is said to be an entertaining speaker, and his lecture is different from any lecture ever given in this city. Seats may be obtained at Metze- rott’s and at the Shoreham news stand. Miss Richards’ Lecture.—Tonight in the Sunday school room of the Ascension Church Miss Janet Elizabeth Richards will Geiiver her lecture, entitled, “The White City by the Lake,” which ts one of the most graphic and interesting descriptions of the great world’s fair that have been given by the many who have made that event a platform tepic. Her lecture is handsomely fllustratel by stereopticon views. After the lecture, which is for the benefit of the Ascension Church, refresh- ments will be served. Wilson Barrett at the National.—Wilson Barrett presented “The Stranger” at the New National Theater yesterday afternoon with good results, It is a good old-fash- joned play, and one that gives abundant opportunity for substantial work on the part of the actor. “Jack Saxton” last night displayed Mr. Barrett as a man of versatile attainments, capable of descending with ease from stilted heroies to character im- personation of the broad sort. The play is a melodrama with well devised situations and judiciously managed climaxes. The cast displays a good range of ability on the part of the supporting company. Tonight Mr. Barrett will present “Hamlet.” peers ee SECOND ARMY CORPS, New Members Elected and Resolutions of Regret Adopted, At a meeting of the Second Army Corps Association held last evening at the Worm- ley new members were elected as follows: Gen.

Also that the members, ore and al regret that their esteemed comrade, Col. James D.

The regular weekly dance of the Wednes- day Night Club took place at McBurney’ Hall last night, and was much enjoyed by all who had the pleasure of engaging in the fascinating twirl.

On Tuesday Dr. Purvis, the city health officer, was called to attend James Ball, a darkey, living on Peyton street, whom he found suffering from concussion of the brain, caused by several severe cuts on the head. It was learned that the injuries had been inflicted by a colcred boy named Ollie Laird, alias Webster, during a quarrel. A warrant was issued for Webster, and yes- terday afternoon he was arrested by Officer James Griffin and taken to the station house. On the way down he confessed to the officer having done so, and also told Lieut. Smith that he had cut Ball. The case came up before his honor the mayor this morning and was held for examina- tion. as Ball's injuries were too severe to admit of his coming out for some days.
