Johnston's. Page 4. the defendant's | DEATH OF MR. BODFISH. a Number ‘The death early yesterday morning at his residence, 58 B street northeast, of Mr. Sumner H. Bodfish brought to a close a life which was marked by much generous friendship and manly endeavor. Death came after a struggle which lasted for over eight months, and which was marked by the same courageous spirit which signahzed his career as a soldier. The disease which finally ended his life seymed to be the re- sult of some disordered condition of the liver and also of the kidneys. It was a case that seemed to defy the skill of doc- tors, and in spite of the best medical atten- tion, the change of climate, bas aol involved a trip during the winter to Florida, and the devoted and unremitting care of his wife, he gradually sank away. Almost the last thought he uttered be- fore closing his eyes in death was an ex- pression of appreciation for the kindness of which he had been the recipient during his long illness, and he expressed the wish that he could live so that he-could show his friends his gratitude. The funeral ser- vices will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at his late residence, and the inter- ment will be at Arlington. Members of the Loyal Legion, of which the deceased was a member, will have the general charge of the funeral. Mr. Bodfish had a wide ac- quaintance in this city, where he had lived for a number of years. He was born in Chicopee, Mass., in the year 18H, and at the early age of seven- teen he entered the volunteer service and served with the forty-sixth Massachusetts and the second heavy artillery. From this latter organization he received an appoint- ment to West Point Academy, graduating in the class of 1868. He served with the sixth cavalry after leaving the academy, and in the year 1871 he resigned his com- mission in the army. He then engaged in business as a hydraulic engineer and was located in Georgia. In the spring of 1872 he came to this city, and was made the first assistant engineer of the District gov- ernment. He held that position during the time when the extensive improvements un- der the board of works were in progress. He then became connected with the geolog- ical survey, and was engaged in topographic and irrigation work. He left the survey about four years ago. and since that time has been engaged in private business. Last October his health became so much impair- ed that he was obliged to give up all bust- ness, and his sickness, which then assumed a serious phase, ended in his death. Mr. eee Sey a member of Burnside Post, —- RESERVATION NO. 201. as to Its Occupancy by the B. and 0. R.R. The Commisioners today received the fol- lowing letter from Mr. Evan H. Tucker, vice president of the Northeast Washing- ton Association: “At a recent meeting of the Northeast Washington Association a resolution was adopted providing that effort should be made to have reservation No. 201, situated between Delaware avenue and ist street and G and H streets, improved so that the citizens may have the use of it as a park. “In compliance with this resolution the secretary addressed a letter to Co!. Jchn M. Wilson, commissioner of public buildings | and grounds, transmitting a copy of the resolution, and making the request. In re- ply Col. Wilson states that ‘the B. and O. railroad has been occupying this reservation for a number years without any author- ity whatever as far as he can find out, und that during his previous term of duty he/ of this reservation, and had brought the | matter to the attention of Congress in sev- eral of his annual reports. “Notwithstanding these statements, at a recent hearing before the House of Repre- sentatives committee one of the officials of the railroad company denied the state- ment that the company {s occupying the reservation without authority, and stated that the reservation was formerly used by the District government as a property yard, but several years ago the company allowed the District government the use of @ square belonging to the company for a property yard, and as compensation the company is allowed the use of the reserva- tion as a freight yard, etc. “In view of the foregoing conflicting statements your honorable board will very materially assist us by answering the fol- lowing questions: “Was the B. and O. R. R. Co. ever grant- ed the privilege of laying tracks on reserva- tion No. 201? If so when, and by whom? “If this privilege was granted by the Com- missioners, by what act are the Commi: sioners authorized to grant this privilege? “Was this reservation ever used by Dis- trict government as a property yard? If so, by what authority? “Is the B. O. R.R. Co. now using this reservation a freight yard, or for any other purpose? If so, by what authority? “My purpose in asking these questions is not to embarrass the Commissioners, but to get such information as will enable me to establish the true status of the question, which I can place before the House of Rep- resentatives committee, and to report to the association.” pa Sa THE DEAD SCHOLAR. Tributes to the Life and Character of Brother Azarias. Last August, at Plattsburg, N. Y., there died one of the most scholarly men in the Catholic church of this country in the per- son of Patrick Francis Mullany, who was better known as Brother Azarias. He was born in Ireland in 1847, and at the age of fifteen entered the order of Brothers of the Christian Church. After coming to America he filled the chair of mathematics and Eng- lsh literature at Rock Hill College, Ellicott City, Md., and was afterward president of that institution, though the last three years of his life were spent in New York. Yesterday afternoon there was a meet- ing in the assembly hall of St. John’s Col- lege for the purpose of honoring the mem- ory of the dead brother and scholar. There were many present who had known him personally, loving and respecting him, and those who spoke of him had nothing but words of sincerest praise. A number of memortal addresses were delivered and these were interspersed with appropriate music. The first of the vocal numbers was the “Invocation” of Penoza, by Mrs. Henry Berry, after which A. J. Faust, Ph. D., who of those present had been most intimately associated with Brother Azarias, spoke of the latter's life “As a Man.” This was followed by a reading by Perey Johnson, one of the students of the college, from the “Phases of Thought,” one of the many works of the deceased, Gen. John Eaton, LL. D., in speaking of Brother Azarias’ career as a teacher, said that he was an idealist who was sent to heal the diseases of realism, the moral lep- | rosy of the present school of, teaching. He was a student of humanity, drawing his facts from the great school room of the human race and using the lessons thus ac- quired for the advancement and improve- ment of his own pupils. Col, Richard Mal- com Johnston discussed the literary side of the dead man’s character, telling of the long continued researches through the dusty tomes of the world’s libraries, from which the searcher had drawn forth treasures of literature ‘which but for him might have been forever hidden. The commissioner of education, Mr. W. T. Harris, spoke in a tone of marked com- mendation of Brother Azarias as a critic. Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic Uni- versity, spoke of him as a religious teach- er, and the meeting closed with an orches- tral renditon of the dead march from Saul. eR EB. | He Fell Twenty Feet. Holmes Helvestine, a fourteen-year-old toy, met with a serious accident about § | o’elcck this mcrning at the Boston House, oats he is employed as a bundle wrap- per. The counter at which he presides is near one of the 11th street windows on the | | first floor, and the boy had been in the habit | of walking out on the window sill every || | morning about the time of the arrival of | the ice wagon. He was friendly with the | driver of the wagon, and the latter never | failed. to throw him a small piece of ice. | This morning he repeeted his perilous trip | ard lost his equilibrium, falling to the basement on a concrete pavement, a dis- | tance of nearly twerty feet. His com- panions soon gathered about the place and fully expected to find Holmes dead. Con- trary to their expectations dead, nor was he unzonscious. The force of the fall was probably broken by the boy’s coming in contact with the steps leading to the basement door. His face was badly bruised, and he was other- wise injured. At the Emergency Hospital the physicians found that no bones had been fractured, and his injuries were not | likely to prove fatal.

An Interest Contest for the Demo- rest Gold Me: 5 Under the auspices of Perseverance Lodge, No. 2, Independent Order of Good Tem- plars, five young women and a young man last evening contested at Metzerott Hall for the Demorest gold medal. The medal is one offered by Mr. W. J. Demorest of New York to encourage the study of the best temperance literature and the recit- ing of the same. The hall was well filled, and’ in addition to the oratorical efforts the audience enjoyed an excellent musical program. Two gold medals were presented last evening, Perseverance Lodge offering the second one to the contestant second in the estimation of the judges. The con- test was under the patronage of Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. Teller, Mrs. Cullom, Mrs. Dolph, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Pickler, Mrs. Hepburn, District Commissioner Truesdell, Prof. E. M. Gallaudet, Rev. .S. H. Green, Representative J. D. Taylor, Commissioner Lyman and others, and proved quite an enjoyable success. Mrs. M. J. Frear presided, and Mr. John P. Lawrence played a Chopin scherzo as the opening number of the program. The first contestant of the evening, Miss Alice Ruth Gardner, then addressed the audience, her subject being “The Good Time is Coming.” She spoke of the great amount of money annually spent for liquor, and sald that the | time was coming when it would be spent | for the necessaries of life, when the now depressed industries of the ye tei would be immeasurably benefited the: Miss Gardner was liberally ‘appl uded, and Mrs. Pauline Montegriffo-Maina sang Mio Fernando,” from Donizetti's “La Favorita,” in excellent style. She was fol- lowed by. Miss Josie Lee, the second con- testant, who recited “The Reason Why,” a powerful arraignment of the evils of the liquor traffic. Miss Lee made an excellent impression, and Mr. Wm. D. McFarland de- lighted the audience with a tencr solo, “The Creole Lover's Song.”” Mr. Carleton E. Snell, the only male con- testant of the evening, then spoke-on “The Great Political Issue." Mr. Snell was re- warded with a great bunch of roses, and Miss Bertha Lucas next rendered two vio- lin solos, a romance by Svendsen and a mazurka by Wienawsiki. Miss Lucas gave way to Mrs. Nellie Wil- son Shir-Cliff, who sang the familiar he oi from Verdi's “Sicilian Vespers,” responding to an enthusiastic encore with DeKo' Japanese lullaby. A_ poe cn was the subject of the fourth contestant, Miss Cara A. Penfield, she also being . ré- warded with a bunch of roses. The next selection on the program was the well- known duet from Rossini’s “Barber of Se- ville,” finely sung by Prof. Martano Matha and his wife. The fifth contestant, Miss Anna Salome Wingate, recited with good effect “Noble Christian Womanhood,” and then Prof. Maina sang an aria a Doni- zetti’s “Lucretia Borgia.” ‘The last contentant. to appear ar be Sadie E. Poates, who recit Dows and effect the poem, “The Martyted ‘Moth- er.” Mrs. Poates’ effort made an excellent impression, and loud applause. She was followed by the vocalists of the evening, who rendered the great quartet from Ver- di’s “Rigoletto” in such fine style as to win a loudly demanded encore. Meantime the judges, Miss Beulah Gilbert, Mr. John Tweedale and Dr. Frank Howe, had re- tired for a consultation, and in a few min- utes Dr. Howe, on behalf of: them; = nounced that to Mrs. Poates the | awarded the Demorest medal, while, to. ies Wingate they had given the lodge medal. Dr. Howe explained that the judges had found that none of the six contestants had been marked perfect, and several of ‘them had fallen far below the highest marking. A marking of ten had been determined as the highest in the five qualifications, voice, articulation, gesture, memory and general effect, and no one contestant had received a marking of ten for any one of the four. Representative Pickler of South Dakota, in a few words, presented the medals to the successful contestants, congratulating them and the lodge upon the very enjoyable con- test, and urging them to continue further in the good work thus begun by them. ——_ Sign of Business Improvement.

Academy of Music.—‘‘The Huguenots,” psomber but sublime, was the attraction cf- fered by the Hinrichs Opera Company at the Academy of Music last night. It is a masstve work and one which,while familiar, is by no means common, owing to the fact that it appeals to the highest musical cul- ture and requires the most finished art in the people engaged in its production. The Huguenots was perhaps the most difficult and impressive opera that the Hinrichs cr-|/b4 ganization has given during its stay in Washington. This assertion is proper, not- withstanding the fact that the company has presented the music of the highest cr- der, its personnel being such as to enable the management to leave out of considera- tion matters of difficulty in interpretation. Nini Bertine Humphreys interpreted the role of Marguerite de Valois with grace and power, and Madam Marie Van Cantereo played in a most efficient manner the part of Valentina,for which Madam Koert-Kron- old was originally cast, but in which she was unable to appear. Viviani and Guille displayed in an eminent degree the, quali- ties which “have,made them so well liked in this city.
