GETTING OUTSIDE CITIZENS AID Many Important Matters Settled by the Executive Committee. SLIGHT MUSICAL HITCH RS aD The executive committee, Knights of Py- thias, having in charge the preparation for the biennial convention of the Supreme Lodge, K. P., and the biennial encampment of the Umform Rank, K. P., met last night at its headquarters, room No. 18, Warder building. The following members of the committee were present: Chairman Rich- ard Goodhart, Vice Chairman George W. Heisley, Recording Secretary A. F. Med- ford, Corresponding Secretary B. T. Doyle, Treasurer John Humphrey, J. H. Mitchell, Notley Anderson, J. B. Conner, J. M. Kline, W. H. Doherty, J. W. Cronie, H, Coggins, J. W. Cartér, F, W. Helbig, N, Bunch, T. H. Gladmon, W. T. Mockbee and J. C. Yost. In addition to the committeemen, there were present Henry Yenney, grand prelate of this jurisdiction; S, R. Turner, William J. Freund and Charles E. Swigert. Chairman Goodhart called the meeting to order, and Recording Secretary Medford read the minutes of the previous session, which were approved. Under the call of committees, that on ways and means re- ported progress. Chairman Heisley of the | transportation committee rendered his re- port. This was one of the most important features of the evening. The various trunk line associations had been communicated with, and the understanding was that they were all favorable to a severe cut in rates for the benefit of the coming event, but Mr. Heisley thought it a little too soon at this meeting to specify rates. The committee had expected a half rate for pilgrims to the convention and encamp- ment, and he had every reason to believe that this expectation would be realized. During the week the transportation commit- tee would have a meeting, and when the ex- ecutive committee came together on next Monday night he would be able, he said, to talk more to the point. By that time, he thought, the propositions from all the lines would have been received. Then followed a colloquy concerning the importance of the question of railroad tariff, and the neces- sity for knowing the figures at as early date as possible, so that a forecast as to the magnitude of the friendly invasion might be made. Chairman Heisley promised that the committee on transportation was alive to the ne-d of prompt and vigorous action, and he felt that very probably the whole question might be disposed of at the next session of the main committee. A New Circular. Chairman B. T. Doyle of the committee on badges reported progress, and Mr. A. L. Medford, chairman of the committee on the reception of the Supreme Lodge, reported that nothing had been done as yet in this. The season was hardly ripe for action in this direction. Chairman J. H. Mitchell rendered the report of the committee on public comfort. He told of the business transacted at the last meeging of that com- mittee, and which at the tlme was reported |in The Star. He laid before the central committee what the public comfort com- mittee deemed a pressing need, which was that a new circular be sent out by either of } i | the committees, covering substantially the same ground which had been covered by circular No. 1, issued some time ago. Mr. Mitchell was under the impression that the approaching encampment had not received a due amount of advertising. He was not only anxious to reach all the divisions of the Uniform Rank, but was especially de- } sirous to place the matter before every sub- | ordinate lodge of Knights of Pythias in the country. Chairman Goodhart and Mr. Kline stated that of the original circular 10,000 copies had been princed, and after all the lodges and divisions of the order had been supplied there remained 2 large surplus on hand, which might be distributed if the committee could find advantageous way to place them. It was the sense of the committee that the question of a new circular or bulletin be held in abeyance till such time as specific information concerning hotel and boarding 4 — could be incorporated. Chair- fe man Mitchell stated that the hotel proprie- q Se See ee em PF"t, || tore bad pledged themecives not to cavence 4 —— themselv ike many aliments.

Compl: A report comes from Tenleytown to the effect thit on Saturday, the 1th, a still- born child made Sts appearance in family of Mr. Scrivener on the Grant road. The family being financially unable to make a private interment, they notified the health department to take charge of the bedy and bury it at the public expense. ‘The usual time was waited, then the de- partment's representatives not having made their appearance, notice of the facts were again sent in. Finally, after notices, the health department's officials arrived on Friday, one week later! Citizens of Tenleytown, to whom the state of affairs was made krown, are talking in unpolished terms of the neglect of the department. In the custody of Officer Barragan yes- terday, Dr. French Lugenbeel, the demented physician from Fairfax county, Virginia, whose strange conduct on the streets of Georgetown on Saturday last caused his arrest, Was sent to St. Elizabeth’s Asylum. During his confinement at the station the dcetor was exceedingly flighty, talking of untold riches and visionary schemes, both night and day. He was visited several times by his sister, Mrs. Ichata, of Mont- gomery county, who ministered as much as possible to his comfort. Dr. Lugenbeel’s youngest sister was Miss Irene Lugenbeel, whose marriage to and divorce from aged Senator Christiancy furnished surprising sensations to the people of the nation some years ago. Church Improvement. Calvary Baptist Church will very soon un- dergo extensive improvements, The congre- gation has the matter under contemplation and will expend quite a sum in carrying out the plans in view. Architect James G. Hill has charge of the proposed work. The vestry of St. Andrew’s Church has called for new bids for the erection of the proposed church edifice. — The Florida democratic convention will be held at Jacksonville July 21. FOR SEASICKNESS Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. Dr. J. Fourness-Brice of 8 S. Teutonte says “I have prescribed it in my practice among the passengers traveling to aad from Eqrope, in this steamer, and the resuit i taken in tine, it will, prevent seasickness.’* the repeated j ated a slight tangle, which was finally un- raveled and agreeably adjusted. He pre- sented to the executive committee for its approval a contract which the music com- mittee had entered into with the Fourth Artillery Band. This contract parade duty, that each musician was to re- ceive a per diem wage of $4, the leader $15 and that eight hours would constitute a day’s work. The members of the commit- tee who opposed the ratification of this con- tract wanted it clearly understood that they did not do so because of any absence of faith in the righteousness of the eight-hour principle,but the executive committee want- ed to engage a band for a lump sum and hold it subject to their call at any hour during the contract period. Messrs. Con: Medford, Kline and others spoke in favor of rejecting the agreement. Mr. Mitchell declared that it was unfortunate that they had struck a snag in this matter, but after considerable debate the affair was adjusted by referring the troublesome agreement back to the music committee with authority to get from the leader of the Artillery Band | his price in lump for escort and parade duty during the convention and encampment. Mr. Helbig promised to have everything running smoothly in this line by the next meeting. Chairman J, W. Carter of the committee on printing rendered a report ad- verse to granting souvenir and program privileges to any other concern than that with which he said the executive committee had already contracted. The report was accepted. Benefit Performance. A communication from Tragedian Bob Downing was read, saying it would be im- possible for him to give an unconditional benefit to the Knights during encampment | week, as he was playing his engagement j here on shares with Mr. Rapley; he could also not make the donation which the ex- ecutive committee had suggested, but if they would confer with Mr. Rapley he thought that an arrangement might be made whereby the knights could be allowed 25 per cent on all tickets which they might sell, but that they wovld not be allowed to sell near the theater. This proposition was not received with much favor, Mr. Yost saying that there was not a dollar in it and that probably they would lose money. Chairman Goodhart saying that at that time Pythian Knights would have no time to use their energy in vending tickets, and Mr. Bunch and Mr. Connor both thought that to accept the proposition of Mr, Down- | ing would be a violation of faith with Mr. who had Rogers, the theatrical marager, agreed to give the order 10 px gross receipts at Albaugh’s House during encampment week, provided that the order would give him their hearty support. This proposition evoked much fav ble comment. It was voted that the letter of Mr. Downing be acknowledged ard filed. : The Hall. Chairman Conner of the committee on hall for the Supreme Lodge reported. The hall which had been most in favor with the committee was that of the builders’ ex- change, and that the managers and the building inspector had stated that they would permit a bulkhead to be erected at the entrance so as to conform with the regulations of the order and insure the privacy of the lodge. There were also some who favored the renting of Odd Fellows’ Hall on the ground of convenience and economy. A letter was read from the man- agers of the National Rifles’ Hall saying that that building might be had, excepting the library, for the sum of $40 per day. This meant two halls and plenty of extra room for the representatives. This propo- sition was received with favor, but no ac- tion wes taken. Chairman Bunch of the committee on press calied attention to the need of a special badge for members of the press, and reported that he had appointed a subcom- mittee for the dissemination of current Py- thian news. He thought that since the press set forth | that the band was to perform escort and | had been enlisted in the great cause the prospects had materially brightened. Outside Assistance. Secretary Medford referred to statements to the effect that the citizens outside the or- der were anxious to co-operate with the knights. For one he was anxious to have them do so. He was willing to resign his position and turn over all that had been done by his committee to a citizens’ com- mittee. He was ready to deliver up every- thing to the citizens that they wanted. If the people of the District thought that they could do better than the Pythian commit- tee, or as well, he was willing to let them try. They would be glad to welcome the citizens and have them co-operate with them. When the citizens were invited to take hold they did not do so with an en- thusiastie degree of alacrity. Mr. Kliae stated that in the outset the board of trade had given them assurances, but had not given them any considerable encourage- ment. He had waited on a number of citi- zens, and they had refused point blank. If the citizens were willing to come to the ald of the committee he was willing to give them all the show they wanted. Al- though they were going to succeed anyhow. they would succeed in a higher degree if the citizens should come in with them. Mr. Mitchell then took the floor. He maintain- ed that the citizens of Washington had never been properly invited to take hold of the celebration. That in the beginning of the campaign the committee had requested | the board of trade to pledge $10,000. They had answered that {t was too soon, that the inauguration responsibilities were upon them, and they did not think that they should take the initiatory step in a secret order matter of this character. Mr. Mitch- ell thought that these answers of the board of trade were eminently proper. He had applied to a large number of prominent citizens and they had responded generou: ly and without hesitation to the appeals and needs of the committee. Chairman Goodhart then announced that without egotism he thought that he could throw more light on this matter than any- body else. In the beginning they had asked several of the men in Washington who had been prominent in great ceremonies and | celebrations to accept the chairmanship of the executive committee. Mr. Goodhart then named over several distinguished Washingtonians who had been applied to and who had refused to assume the re- sponsibility of the undertaking. He had no fear of the outcome of the matter. He did not tremble for the result. No citizen had been insulted nor neglected. The citizens were at liberty to aid in their contributions. The committee would be glad to have them do so. If they wanted the chairmanship of the committee he was willing to sur- render. But he emphasized the fact that the committee was not lacking in confi- dence a3 to the outcome of the celebration. It was going to be a glorious day in Py- thianism. A motion of Mr. Medford, expressing it as the sense of the committee that it would be glad of the co-operation of citi- zens in their work, was adopted. Col. Coggins, Mr, Kline, Mr. Goodhart and Mr. Medford.and Mr.Conner engaged in a discussion as to how the band should be apportioned between the reception com- mittee for escort duty and the Washington regiment Uniform Rank for parade duty. It_wes decided to have the commanding officer of the U. R. K. P. and chairman of | FAVORS THE RICH Senator Pettingrew’s Spirited Com- ment on the Tariff Bill. BELIEVES IN A TARIFP COMMISSION Agreement With thé Silver-Using Countries Strongly Advocated. APPEAL FOR THE FARMER Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota made @ strong speech against the tariff bill in the Senate today, and presented his views with logical clearness and effective force. He has ideas of his own as to the best method of Incveasing the general prosperity of the country in all sections, and did not mince words in arraigning the sectional selfish- ness displayed by democrats and republl- cans alike in the consideration of a meas- ure ostensibly intended for the benefit of the entire country. His arraignment of the democratic party for its alleged lack of faith was especially severe. He said: “Mr. President, the democratic party came into power in 1892 on issues clearly stated in their platform, among which was the statement, in substance, that a tariff £0 adjusted as to protect American indus- tries is robbery and should be abolished. After thirteen months of power we are pre- sented with a tariff bill which has but one redeeming feature, and that does not re- late to the tariff in any way: I refer to the income tax. The Wilson bill is a pro- tective tariff measure, malicious!y arranged 0 as to increase the burdens of the poor in the interest of the rich. This strange bill takes the tariff off from most of the pro- ducts of the farm, but retains it on almost everything a farmer has to buy. The farmer must have been the ‘robber’ re ferred to in the democratic platform.” A Tarif! Commisxsion. Mr. Pettigrew made a vigorous attack on the bill, and advocated in “its stead the creation of a. tariff commission, which should be @ permanent bureau, non-partisan in its nature, with ample power to thor- oughly investigate the whole subject, and report to the next session of Congress and to ali future Congresses. The question of protecting American industries, he said, would then be placed upon a firm basis, and adjusted so as to be a great blessing, rest- ing upon equitable and scientific principles. He said he would materially reduce the duties on all articles for the control of which a trust has been formed since the McKiniey bill was passed, and as to sugar said committee confer and arrange things. eS n sg ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS. Organizations Going to Richmond for a Celebration. ‘This afternoon at 5 o'clock the Alexandria Light Infantry, which has made a world- wide reputation for itself, will leave for Richmond eighty strong, with the Third Regiment Drum Corps, to take part in the ceremonies incident to unveiling the pri- vate soldiers and sailors’ monument to- morrow. They go not only by invitation of the committee having charge of the ex- ercises, but by special personal invitations from many prominent citizens of Rich- mond. Special quarters and a special res- taurant will be provided for the Alexan- a boys, and they will, as usual, head the line in the procession tomorrow. They will return tomorrow night. R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, will also attend the ceremonies, and at thetr meeting last night decided to take the 4:18 train on Wednesday (tomorrow) morning. About fifty members of the camp will go. They wili return tomorrow uight. ‘There was a great deal of excitement on South Alfred street yesterday morning, caused by Martha Stewart, a young colored woman, breaking up and throwing out into the street a lot of furniture belonging to her mother. Her actions evidently showed that she was deranged, and she was locked up for an examination. Capt. George Young on yesterday received a telegram advising him of the death of his brother, Capt.

The committce on proof texts’ at last got a hearing from the Presbyterian general assembly at Saratoga yesterday, and its! recommendations were adopted, making the | best edition of the Bible printed by the American Bible Society the standard for the citation of texts in the confession of faith. | The assembly was plunged into a political | debate over the following resolution from the report of the committee on temperance: “No political party has the right to expect | the support of Christian men which does not stand committed against the license system.” The eastern commissioners moved to strike this clause from the report. They said this committed the church to the pro-/| hibition party. ' The motion to strike it out was laid on the table, and the report with this clause was adopted. | In regard to appropriations for sectarian | schools It was resolved that “the general assembly enters an earnest protest against the bestowal of appropriations from the treasury of the United States for the uses of religious denominations, of whatever! name or under whatsoever pretext they | may be sought.” On motion of Rev. Mr. Stevens of Charles- | ton the following resolution was adopted: “That while the assembly accepts the ae- | tion of the (southern) general assembly, of which it has been notified, as sufficiently | indicating the wisdom of suspending for the | s present everything like overtures looking to a union with that body, it desires to put on | record its expression of regret for such suspension.”” The invitation to meet in Pittsburg next year was accepted. After some further routine business the assembly was declared | adjourned sine die. Southern Presbyterian Assembly. The general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church reassembled yesterday at Nashville. The report of the committee on bills and overtures on the question sent up from the Augusta presbytery as to the standing of Dr. Woodrow was adopted. The report was to the effect that the min- ister was a member of and had all the rights and privileges of the presbytery from which he was dismissed, until receive! by the presbytery to which he decided to go, and that the formal return of the let- ter was not necessary. The general assembly decided to remain in the Pan-Presbyterian Alliance. ‘The question of electing delegates to the next alliance meeting was referred to the next general assembly. The special committee on the question of suppression of lotteries reported, recom- mending a renewal of the deliverances of | former assemblies against this evil, which was adopted. Dr. Mills filed a protest against the action taken in the Woodrow case. The report on theological seminaries was adopted. A vote of thanks to the officers and pastor of Moore Memorial Church, where the assembly has been holding its ‘The members of the Alexandria | | afternoon and binding twine, he would repeal all duty. He would repeal the whole duty on binding twine because it is the subject of a trust and was the object of a trust at the time the McKinley bill was passed, and was one of the things which the Senate, by its amendment, placed upen the free list. The members of the car trust, he said, are bad citizens; they resisted the laws of Con- gress in regard to trusts, and they had de- fied Congress in refusing to give informa- tion desired for the cleventh census. If this bill fails to pass, he said, he would be pleased to vote for an amendment to some appropriation bill placmg sugar on the free list, and he added that, fearing the Wilson bill may pass, he would offer an amend- ment to that effect in the hope of thus destroying the “greedy monopoly.” While the McKinley bill contains many defects, he said, and should be amended, the measure offered in its place and now under consideration does not contain a cin- gle redeeming feature, so far as it relates to customs duties. It is a fit product of the democratic party, framed for the purpose of deceiving and defrauding the people. He saw no reason why the duty on woolen goods should be reduced. “It is a voluntary tax,” he said, “and paid by people who think themselves too good to wear home- made goods, by the bucks who deck them- | selves in * kits’ and “topcoats,” and who ; travel with ‘luggage’ and ‘book’ themeelve: and doctor their inf and who wear a monocie because the Duke of Edinburgh has a defective eye, and who put arnica on their knees and elbows when- ever the Prince of Weles falls off his cob while taking a ditch in the highlands. According to Mr. Pettigrew, the Wilson bill is a swindle upon the ple of South Dakota in every respect, as “it robs the farmer, it robs the tin miners and ruins our mica industries.”” Net for the Masses. Continuing, Mr. Pettigrew said that out of the alleged reduction of $25,500,000 on woolen goods, not one cent will be saved to the farmers or other producers of this country. He said also that $15,050,000 is taken off from fancy dress goods, cloths out of which swallow-taile2 coats are made, s00ds which are imported by the dudes be- cause they are foreign goods. The tote duction of duties, by this act ts $76.47" | faney | rich, tobaccos and jewel feathers, and om the produ of the farm, and $31,402,000 off from the things used by the masses. How does the bill e up for the loss of revenue? Tho: friends of the people do it by one stroke of the pen. They levy a duty of 1 1-4 cents on sugar, which is now free, and as we import 3,600,000,000 pounds per year, a @ fit cents amounts to just the framers of this bill prete the champions of the rights of ing masses.
