Elaborate Exercises Arranged — Some Heavy Real Estate Transactions— Many Notes of General Interest. The program to be presented at Dumbar- ton Avenue Church from June 8 to June 5, 1894, in honor of the seventy-fifth anniver- sery of the establishment of the Sunday school, has been finally arranged. The diamond jubilee will be celebrated in a manner well befitting the occasion. There will be present old pastors and pupils of the school from all sections of the United States. Invitations have also been sent to Europe; one to Africa, to Bishop Naylor, and one to the Rev. Mr. Soper, a mission- ary in Japan, both formerly of Dumbarton. At 9:30 a.m. on the first day of the cele- bration there will be a sessio nof the school, Mr. B. H. Steinmetz presiding. At 11 there will be preaching by the Rev. Littleton F. Morgan, D. D., and at 3 p.m. a jubilee serv- ice. At this service a historical sketch will be read by Mr. Jesse H. Wilson, and appropriate addresses made by Messrs. Charles H. Stocking, A. W. Eastlack and John T. Mitchell, former superintendents of the school. In the evening there will be a platform meeting, at which addresses will be made by Rev. James A. McCauley, D._D., and Rev. John H. Dashiell, D. D. On the second day, Monday, at 2 p.m., there will be reminiscent speeches by the Revs. W. S. Edwards, D. D., Wm. H. Chapman, J. McK. Reily, D. D., and M. F. B. Rice.

The third and last Gay will be given up to an entertainment to the present member- ship.

The labor incident to the a ents is being bo by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Stitt; Mr. J. W. Kirkley, the superintendent; Mr. John Hieston, the secretary; Mr. Isaac Birch, the treasurer, and Mr. E. H.

Both are nearly ninety years of They will be present at the celebration. me They reside on 32d street near Q. The Sunday school, now approaching its seventy-fifth birthday, was established in- dependently on Jefferson avenue in a frame building near the old Masonic Hall. Later its meeting place was removed to 30th Street near N, then to 28th street between M and Olive, and thence to Dumbarton ave- nue. In its early days Henry Foxhall was a great patron of the school and assisted it | financially many times. Death of Mrs. Vanderwerken. Mrs. Jane Vanderwerken, wife of the late Gilbert Vanderwerken, who established the first stage line in the District of Columbia, died on Saturday evening. Death came | suddenly. It was the result of a hemor- rhage, probably instigated through the ef- fort made in stepping from her c: Mrs. Vanderwerken had been out “driving and apparently enjoyed the trip. She made | no particular complaint during the drive, | and was in as good health as she had been for some time. But just as she stepped from the vehicle at the door of her home the rush of blood came. She was carried into the house, where death came a few moments later. Mrs. Vanderwerken was in her seventy- ninth year. She will be buried from her home, “Falls Grove,” near the Chain bridge, Alexandria Wednesday morning at 11 | o'clock. The interment will take place at Qak Hill. Mrs. Vanderwerken leaves three daughters. She also leaves an estate of considerable value. Real Estate. On Saturday Wm. E. Edmonston and C. H. Williamson, trustees, deeded to John R. McLean for $13,200 the property at the northeast corner of 3ist and M streets. John F.

Edward Henson on Saturday night prom- enaded irregularly the streets of “Boston,” with his interior filled to the roots of the tongue, end in each hand a juicy demijohn. | He was still further loaded with a pisto! in his rear pocket. The police were selfish | enough to think he had had his share of | fun when they came across him and re- | quested that he accompany them to a piace | | j of restraint. Mrs. Griffith of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Rev. Mr. Gra- ham of Congress Street M. P. Church yes- terday spoke strongly against the evils of intemperance at the Thirty-first Street Church, Six of the best polo players of the Chevy Chase Club engaged in an exciting game on Saturday afternoon on the grounds sur-/| rounding the club house. Messrs, H. M./ Earle, Louis Earle and Evans comprised | one side (the reds), while their oppon were Messrs. Halloway, Marrow and EF; der. Both sides made creditable plays. The game was watched by many prominent society people. Dr. John Exner gave a private dance on Saturday evening last at the Potomac boat house. A large number of the Georgetown cy- clists spent Saturday night and yesterday at the Great Falls. Fishing was not tadulg-/ ed in on account of the unfavorable condi- | tion of the water. Mr. J.

Report of a Committee of the Medical Soctety on Consumption, A carefully prepared report on the preven- tion and restriction of tuberculosis has been prepared by & committee of the Medi- cal Society, of the District consisting of Drs. Charles H. Stowell, J. H. Bryan and E. A. Balloch. This report has been sub- mitted to the society and will be discussed at the next meeting. - It is first stated in the report that “it has been proven beyond a doubt that consump- tion is.a disease which is communicable from man to man, from man to animais and from animals to man. The agent which conveys the disease, the bacillus tuberculo- sis, may enter the system through the lungs, through the stomach or some other must arise from some pre-existing case. Based upon ‘these facts, it follows that con- sumption is @ preventable disease. In fact, it @ppears that there is no other disease known which is more easily prevented than this. The power of man to control the dis- ng absolute when he himself is the vic- In the District of Columbia, it is stated, from 1883 to 1892, inclusive, $019 persons died from tuberculosis, of which number 4,312 were colored, the percentage of deaths from tuberculosis to all deaths being 15.87 during the ten years. Some Suggestions. The conclusions of the report are summed up as follows: First. That a committee be appointed to Prepare the manuscript for ‘circulars or pamphlets, with the view of having the same distributed among the people, setting forth the facts that each person having consumption is a constant source of danger | to others not thus afflicted; that the disease | is curable, and, above ail, that it is easily preventabie. Second. That the hospital authorities ve urged to set apart certain wards for the ex- clusive use of consumptives; although your committee believes that special hospitals for this purpose are preferable. Third. That physicians be especially re- quested to inform their consumptive pa- Uents of the necessity of thorough disin- fection of the sputa and of the methods by which this can be accomplished; and, fur- ther, that they insist that the rooms once hy consumptives be thoroughly = aaaaes before they are again inhab- ts Fourth. And that this society take such action as will best procure the enactment of a law whereby no milk can be offered for sale in this city until the cows from which said milk was taken have been test- ed and found to be free from tuberculosis. The meeting of the society to which the report was submitted adopted the following important additional recommendation: Furthermore, That the health officer, of the District of Columbia shail be requested to formulate such regulations as will insure to all persons purchasing vaccine virus in this District a guarantee that the animals Whence such material has been obtained were treated with tuberculin and proven free from tuberculosis. —___ Stole Her Money. Five women, and not one of them goof looking, appeared in Judge Miller's vourt this morning in a case of larceny and as- sault. The women live in the alleged dis- reputable house of a woman named Street, in the “division,” where some of the women figured in a drunken spree last night. The men who were in the house at the time aid not appear in court. Reno Tero, a young woman who came all the way here from Japan to lead a life of shame, ap- peared as the victim of an American girl known as Nettie Fox. Reno lived in Provi- dence, R. I., before she came here. Her Washington “friend” called to see her last night, and together th drank wine until the woman became sick and in- toxicated. Then she went to the back yard to get some fresh air. Nettie Fox followed, and, while the drunken woman was stretch- ed out in the dirt, Nettie, who had also been drinking, removed one of her pink stockings, the one in whi kept ber money, and said: of it for you.” She took such good care of the money that Reno will never, see it again. Nettie gave $1.50 of the money to @ woman in the house and then forgot what she did with it. Reno claimed t she bad $18 in her stocking, and it all taken. It was about 1 o'clock this morning when Policeman Kilmartin went to the house and made the arrest. Nettie denied the charge, but the other women were in court to give evidence against her, and Judge Miller held her gulity, @ fine of $20 or sixty days. Nettie also struck Reno because the latter accused her of theft, and for this she was fined $. —_—_—__. ‘The Veterans’ Christian League. An association whose character and prin- ciples are concisely expressed in the above title is in existence in this city, but is as yet without formal or permanent organiza- tion. The Sabbath immediately following the termination of the Moody meetings a gospel service was instituted in G. A. R. Hall by the chaplain of the Department of the Poto- mac, and several of the chaplains of the posts of the department and others. A large choir, composed of members of tne great Moody and Sankey choir, was organ- ized, with Prof. Tracey as director, and cach Sabbath afternoon since, at 3 o'clock, the ex-soldiers of both the great armies of the late civil war and their immediate families and friends have gathered in considerable numbers In the G. A. R. Hall to listen to the excellent and effective rendition of ban- key’s sweet and inspiring gospel songs, upoa gospel themes by the veterans of both “The Blue” and “The Gray,” who no longer con- tend with each other, but commingle here as Christian patriots, seemingly forgetting the animosities and sanguifary scenes of the st. PoThese men, who endured the privations and hardships of so many active cam- paigns thirty years or more ago, are not yet back numbers, but are still fitted and ready for active, aggressive work in a g00d cause, and are yet a power in the land for good when their energies are properly directed ‘These services, like the Moody meetings, are evangelistic, and partake of the char- acteristics ‘of those great gatherings in Con- vention Hall. While these meetings were originally in- tended especially for the veterans of the late war—""The Blue” and “The Gray”—ana their wives, sons and daughters, yet they are not exclusive, but, lke the gospel, chey are free to all, and ail who will may come and be cordially weicomed. At the meeting yesterday afternoon the advisability of eifecting a permanent league organization was considered, with a commin- gling of the religious and patriotic princ- ples as a basis of the league. for Princeton.
