The women came out ahead last evening in a debate between the Wimodaughsis and the Young Men's Christian Association held in the parlors of the former organi- zation on I street. The large audience was composed chiefly of members of the gentler sex, and the men were outclassed in every respect. The question discussed was “Re- solved, That women should be allowed to vote.” Mrs. Haven, Mrs. Colby and Mrs. Platt supported the affirmative, the nega- tive being upheld by Messrs. Werner, Free- man and Goodwin. The debate occupied about two hours, and was interspersed with wit of a high class. After careful con- sideration the judge, Gen. William Birney, decided in favor of the women, the an- Reuncement receiving almost unanimous approval from the audience. ——-—_— E Street Church Festival.

An Enjoyable Program Effectually Performed by Prof. Maina’s Pupils. That the concert by the pupils of Prof. Maina was an event of peculiar interest to Washington's musical culture was evi- denced by the size and character of the audience which gathered in the Universal- ist Church last night. The program showed at a glance that the younger singers were to be subjected to an unsparing test. The selections were from works which have not only the admiration, but the affectionate interest, of the music-lov- ing world, gems from such operas as of Seville,” “Il Trovatore,” “Otello” and the more modern but familiar “Cavalleria Rusticana.” Not only were the younger singers shown in these works, which could not fail to instantly suggest comparison, but they sang with artists of professional eminence—Signor .Montegriffo and Mme. Paulina Montegriffo-Maina. Mr. J. Os- borne Clemson displayed a good baritone voice with skill and intelligence, as the opening feature of the program. A duet by Signor Maina and Miss Mary McCulloch reflected credit on both preceptor and pupil. An act of “Faust” arranged as a recital followed. It was a surprisingly effective performance, one which was gratifyingly deficient in amateurishness. Montegriffo sang the role of Faust, and Mme. Maina that of Martha. H. G. Meem was Mephisto, and Miss Mary Helen Howe presented the beautiful though difficult music which falls to the share of Marguerite. The part of Siebel was to have been sung by Miss Mailhouse, but she was suffering with such @ severe cold that she could not, in justice to herself, go on with it, and Mme. Maina sang the “Flower Song.” Miss Howe sang with a purity of tone and a certainty of technique which occasioned some surprise over the fact that she had not before this been more widely heard from as a singer. As she came before the public last night she was a realization of care bestowed in the past, as well as a most gratifying proraise for the future. It was but a mo- ment after she began that her music dis- Placed her surroundings in her mind, and then the slight nervousness, inevitable under the circumstances, peared. The “Spinning Song’ and the “Jewel Son; were both rendered with confidence and spirit. Mr. Meem gave an exceedingly good performance as the satanic contingent, boa senybon a voice of natural excellence under good control. Mrs. John Seager sang two arias in a beautiful manner, adding the charm of personality to artistic ac- complishmerts. In the act from “Il Trovatore’ Miss Mamie Donnelly sang the part of Leonora with graceful efficiency. Signor Maina in his singing of the part of the Count di Luna brought back pleas- ant memories of his operatic work. A ee of distinguished people were pres- en —~>—__. DENTISTS DINE. - The Close of the Joint Dental Meeting in This City. Baltimore and Washington dentists closed their two days’ joint meeting last evening with a banquet given at Freund’s Hall, on 10th street. Nearly seventy men, who are expert in the care of other peopie’s teeth, used their own with good effect on tempting viands, that were made all the more enjoyable by the feeling of good fel- lowship that pervaded the gathering. The toastmaster of the evening was Dr. M. W. Foster of Baltimore, and after the menu had been disposed of he called upon Dr. Faught of Philadelphia to speak to the subject of “Pennsylvania Dental Societies.” He was followed by Dr. H. C. Thompson of this city, who spoke at some length on the Washington City Dental Society, now an organization of many members, and Dr. Oscar Adelburg of New Jersey spoke to the toast, “The Jersey Hornets.” Other toasts and speakers were “Union Meetings,” Dr. H. B. Noble; “The Maryland State Dental Association,” Dr. C. M. Ginrich; “The Dentist Profession,” Dr. R. F. Hunt, and brief remarks were made by Dr. Jackson of New York, Dr. Cockerille, Dr. Hugo, Dr. Williams Donnally, Dr. Hill, Dr. Goddard of California, Dr. Meeker of New Jersey, Dr. Claude of Annapolis and Dr. Harvey Iredell of New Brunswick, N. J. Dr. God- dard invited all present to atten@ the mid- winter fair dental congress at Golden Gate Park. Dental Legislation. Prior to the banquet there was a brief meeting, which was taken up with the sub- ject of dental legislation, a matter of great importance. Dr. Emory A. Bryant of Den- ver and Dr. Williams Donnally of this city both presented papers giving a sketch of abuses which now exist, and the troubles under which reputable and educated dentists were placed, and offering brief outlines of what seemed to them the best remedies. Dr. Donnally’s paper was read by Dr. Finley. A_ lively discussion followed, which was participated in by Drs. Jackson and Meeker of the state dental board of New Jersey, Dr. Goddard of: the California board, Dr. Barlow, also of New Jersey, and Dr. Ashby Faught of the Pennsylvania . In closing the union meeting, Dr. B. Holly Smith of the Maryland association said he hoped and expected this would be but the beginning of a long series of such meetings. The Maryland Dental Assoeiation, he an- nounced, would meet in Baltimore next week to elect officers. a A Writ of Mandamus Asked. The National Investment Society of this city has applied for a writ of mandamus, commanding City Postmaster Sherwood to receive and mail a certain letter envelope and its inclosures, the postmaste~ having refused to do so, upon his contention that | the envelope contained matter unmailable because it set out a lottery scheme or plan. The directors of the company are Chas. G. Conn, president; J. N. Patterson, vice pres- ident; Chas. H. Coons, secretary; Chas. M. Shinn, treasurer; Alphonzo Hart and O. N.

One of the latest and most interesting acquisitions of the Agricultural Department is a section of one of the far-famed giant trees of California (twenty-three feet in diameter, one and a half in circumference, and thirty feet in height). This tree, which is familiar to all world’s fair visitors, being, as it was, in the government building, has been recently erected in the southeastern part of the agricultural grounds. In order to be transported from its place of growth to the railway sta- tion, this tree had to be sawn in sections, and each section hauled sixty miles by a team of mules; besides this, the estimated expense to the government for its trans- portation and reconstruction is $10,000. At —. however, it is not entirely finished. t will be divided into an upper and lower floor; a winding stairway and giass roof will be added, and, upon completion, it will rank well among the many attractions of Washington. Mariposa -county, California, from which this tree came,,contains 134 trees similar in nature to the one on exhibition, but vary- ing in height and general dimensions. Five or six other collections of them have been found, one in Tuolumne and one or two in county. In all these groves there are many trees from 275 to 376 feet high, from 25 to 34 feet in diameter, and of ex- gly graceful proportions. Some of the largest that have been felled indicate an age of from 2,000 to 2,500 years. The dimensions of one tree in the Tulare group were, according to measurements made by members of the state geological survey, 276 feet high, 106 in circumference at base, und 76 at a point twelve feet above the ground. Joseph Rollins, a hunter, was the first white discoverer of the great trees. He came upon a cluster of ninety-two in Cala- veras county, and when he told the miners about them, nobody believed him, and ro wonder, for were not the reports au- thenticated by the hosts of travelers who visit th ae ek ye of em, such a stoi ‘would sound a little fishy, even at the pres ent day. ———-——->__ 4 COLUMBIA ZITHER CLUB.

During the night of the 15th instant the grocery store of John J. Sullivan, ist and Pierce streets northwest, was broken into and about $100 worth of cigars, cigarettes and tobacco stolen. Last Sunday evening part of the stolen goods were discovered in a house near M and Ist streets, and two young colored men were captured there by Precinct Detective Barnes and other officers. The captured men “peached” on two others, and, as a result of information received from them, William Patton, Frank Bell, Richard Goodall and James Hunter were this morning charged in the Police Court with having committed the robbery. A portion of the goods were buried by the men, the thieves adding insult to injury by borrowing a shovel from Mr. Sullivan the day after the robbery, with which to bury the stolen goods. After hearing the statement of the officers and of Mr. Sulli- van, Judge Miller committed the four men = jail to await the action of the grand jury. — = A Runaway Accident.

Last night about 9:30 o’clock an alarm of fire was turned in from box 312, for fire in O’Brien’s court near 20th and F streets.

FRED. DOUGLASS SPEAKS. A Plea for Fair Treatment for the Colored Race. Mr. Frederick Douglass lectured last night at Metropolitan A. M. E, Church on the subject of “Self-made Men.” The proceeds were for the benefit of the Coljred Young Men’s Christian Association. A large au- WORTH A GUINEA A BOX. Stubborn tendencies to digestive troubles in dience was present, and many prominent } **4ren will always yield to a mild dose of people of both races were there. Justice Harlan introduced the speaker. Mr. Doug- lass dwelt upon the fact that nature re- vealed itself, and religion, science and literature addressed themselves to the hu- man race and not to special parts of it. The lecturer made an excellent plea for fair treatment for the negro. We should lend a hand to help raise him rather than to crush him. He thought that there was nothing in so-called luck. He then told of the progress which the negro race has made, despite disadvantages and handi- caps. Mr. Douglass in alluding to the re- jection of the nomination of Mr. Taylor as recorder of deeds for the District of Colum- bia, declared that if the objection was based on race prejudice rather than un non-resi- dence of the District it was wrong. On the platform were P. B. 8. Pinchback, Juage E. T. Christie of Virginia, Mr. Jas. H. Meriwether, president of the Colored Y, M. C. A.; Rev. W. A. Burch, secretary of this organization; John F. Cook, F. L. Barbadoes, L. C. Bailey, Rev. J. A. Taylor and Bishop Abraham Grant of the A. E. Church. —.__ The Late Gen. Granger. ‘The remains of Gen. Robert S. Granger, U. S, A.

Mrs. Granger, the soldier's venerable widow, accompanied the funeral train to Zanes- ville. She was attended by Mr. and Miss Day, her sister's children. —_._— The National Geographic Society. ‘There will be a special meeting of the National Geographic Society at National Rifles’ Armory Hall tomorrow evening, when Mr. Frank H.

Several hundred of the members of Kit Carson Post and their families held a camp fire last evening at Grand Army Hall and listened to an address by Dr. W. A. Crof- fut in answer to the question, “What shall we do with the unemployed?” The speaker set forth the benefits of the present com- petitive system of industry, and his char- acterization of the purposes of the Coxey- ites was received with much favor by the audience. APainful Accident FOLLOWED BY A YEAR'S GREAT SUFFERING. ENDED BY THE CURATIVE POWER OF HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA. C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Masa.: “Dear Sirs: I am glad to state my experience with and opinion of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Nine years ago I broke one of my legs. After the bone had knit a humor came out and the leg became SUCH A MASS OF SORES that It was an awful sight to look at. I was not able to work on account of it for over @ year. Different doctors treated me, but all in vain. I became so discouraged that I wished for death. ‘The doctor finally advised the amputation of the leg. I read of the many cures effected by Hood's Sarsaparilla and decided to try it. This was in Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cures April, and besides taking the medicine I applied Hood's Olive Ointment to the sores, and in July was able to work. Hood's Sarsaparilia has cured me perfectly.
