The Effort to Preserve Them and Properly Mark Them. Mr. J. H. Hickox, writing to The Ameri- can Geographical Zociety Bulletin from this elty, says: “The Memorial Association of the Dis- trict of Columbia h=s been recently or- ganized for the puryose (1) of preserving the most noteworthy houses at the capital that have been made historic by the resi- dence of the nation’s greatest men; (2) of suitably marking, by tablets or otherwise, the houses and places throughout the city of chief interest. The title to any historic houses or places preserved by the labors of the association will vest in the United States. “The first effort of this association will be to purchase the house in which Presi- dent Lincoln died. It will be restored to the condition it then was, both externally and internally. The association has a lease of the premises, with the option of pur- chase. The house uow contains about 2,500 relics of Lincoln. Other historic objects that may be purchased or marked with tablets are: The first tavern in the District, located in Georgetown, where Gen. Wash- ington met the architects, commissioners and landowners to arrange for the survey of the District and the purchase and trans- fer of the property to the government; the Octagon House, on 18th street, where Pres- ident Madison resided after the burning of the White House and where the treaty of Ghent was signed. The first dwelling built on Lafayette Square. The lot was purchas- ed by Cothmodore Decatur in 1819, who built on it a large mansion. Decatur was killed in _a duel with Commodore Baron in 1820. Subsequent occupants have been Clay, Van Buren, Edward Livingston, Sir Charles Vaughan, Baron de Neuville, How- ell Cobb, J. P. Benjamin and John A. and James G. King. The residence of the poet, Joel Barlow. Robert Fulton was a fre- quent visitor at this house, and here began his experiments in steam navigation on Rock creek. David Burns’ cabin and the ‘Van Ness house, not excelled in its day by any private dwelling in the country. It ts said to have cost $75,000, a very large sum in that day. The bricks for it were brought from England. The marble man- tels were sculptured by Thorwaldsen. Mo- saics were let into the walls, and costly woods added their share to the general sumptuousness of the place. Burns’ plan- tation covered the largest portion of thej| Present business section of Washington, and descended in 1802 to his only child, who married Gen. John P. Van Ness, a epresentative in Congress from New ‘ork. The house owned and occupied by Mrs. James Madison, and after her death by Admiral Charies Wilkes of the famed “exploring expedition.” In 1862 it was the headquarters of Gen. McClellan. John J. Crittenden occupied it at one time, and also Gen. Belknap, when Secretary of War. ‘The mansion occupied by the late Mr. Blaine, built by Commodore Rodgers. It! has been occupied also by Chief Justice | ‘Taney and James K. Paulding, and here Seward resided when the attempt to take his life was made by Payne. The house occupied by John C. Calhoun while he was Secretary of War under Monroe, situated on Georgetown Heights, as is also Tudor Place, built on the plan of the Mount Ver- fon mansion, and occupied by the grand- @aughter of Martha Washington. On the corner of 30th and M sireets was once the most popular hotel of the first half of the century. Louis Phillippe, Humboldt, Ful- ton, Talleyrand, Irving, Jobn Randolph ‘were guests there. A prominent florist now oceupies the site. The first school house in Washington, which was located at t ttheast corner of l4th and G street: jomas Jeffersoc built it for a stable when he was Secretary of State. In another section of the city is a house built and oc- cupied by Stephen A. Douglas and after- ward by Justice Joseph P. Bradley of the Supreme Court. Near by, the house given by New York friends to . Grant, where he lived until he removed to the White House, when it became the home of Gen. Sherman. The home of the great financier of the rebellion, Salmon P. Chase, now a tlub house for wealthy and prominent He- brews, and not far from it, the last Wash- ington house of Webster, now used for law offices. “Among the directors of the Memorial Association are Chief Justice Fuller, Gen. Schofield, Prof -Langley, John Hay, C. C. Glover and Teunis S. Hamlin. These and other gentlemen—eighteen in all—are ap- pointed under a resolution of Congress by the President, Vice President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.” — HAGERSTOWN. ' } An i{mportant cas, removed from Mont- grmery county to the circuit court of this county, has been set for trial June 12. It is that of Susan A. Bell vs. Sarah A. Connelly and Mary Jane Welch and Edward P. Welch, ber husband, a caveat to a wiil. ‘There are about fifty witnesses to be ex- amined in the case, and it will probably occupy the attention of the court for a ‘week or ten days. It is reported here that the Rev. Father Rabia of St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Hagerstown is about to be transferred to a chaplaincy in Providence Hospital at Wash- irgton. The place was tendered Rev. Rabia some time ago, but the change has not yet been made by Cardinal Gibbons. The school board has asked the county commissioners to make a levy for $54,000 for school purposes. This is $6,000 more than last year, but the increase is needed for the erection of a new school building in the southeast of Hagerstown. ‘The Maryland State Firemen's Association will meet in the Academy of Music, this city, on June 13, when officers will be elect- ed.

Large Number of Visitors. From an early hour in the morning on till long after noon there was a constant stream of vehicles and pedestrians winding through Georgetown along streets.many of which were decorated with flags and bunt- ing; over the bridge, past Fort Myer and into the gates of the great national ceme- tery. It seemed as though every possible sort of wagons and carriages had been put to use today, and from the handsome barouche in which rode the chief executive wirable manner, and one that reflected credit upon the officers and committees of the Grand Army of the Republte. Among the crowds were hundreds and hundreds of aged veterans who marched in little groups to the graves of the men with whom they had served in the great civil war. Many were crippled; many were halt and some were blind, but all wore with pride the blue uniforms and the badges of the organizations of old soldiers. There were some few very old men who had sons lying beneath the sod of Arlington, there were sons who visited the graves of la- mented fathers and there were women whose husbands showed titir ‘deVotion to the country by laying down their lives for @ cause in which they believed. The Exercises. Simple and rather brief were the exer- cises which marked the celebration of the day These were held in the great amphi- theater near the mansion. Over it was drawn a great canvas awning and the whole place was appropriately decorated with flags and banners. On the platform were a number of seats for the guests of honor, for those who took Israel W. Stone. part in the exercises, and for the members of the Musical music was Union, conducted. undér The which the full Marine Band was present, under the leadership of | | Prof. Fanciulli, and rendered a number of appropriate selections. In response to a special invitation from headquarters, De- partment of the Potomac, Grand Army of the Republic, the President was in’ attend- arce at the exercises, and was given a seat of honor on the platform. He drove over from the White House with Secretary Gresham. He was without escort of any perp = ~~ carriage simply formed one of the long line that wound its w: hill from the river. ee Invitation to the President . ‘Ihe letter of invitation to the President was from Israel W.

Long before the main crowds reached Ar- lingtor this morning the many graves had been decorated, under the auspices of the Grand Army. At each was a little flag, and handsome flowers were scattered over the ground. The last resting places of a Representative ryan. number of prominent officers had been marked with specially handsome floral dis- plays. The graves of admiral Porter, Gen. Crock, Gen. Sheridan, Maj. Gen. Ingalls, Col. Berdan, Gen. Hazen and many others were marked with large set pieces. The Legion of Loyal Women fad made special arrangements for marking the graves of the great leaders. ‘The decoration committee, auxiliary to the ecmmittee on decorations and grounds, con- sisted of the following ladies: Mrs, Indfana | Cowling, chairman; Mrs. Joseph McClellan, Bundick, Mrs. Hans Smith, Mrs. Stim, Mrs. tie C.

The procession was head- ed by the Band; which plaed sol- emn and suitable music. It marched to the “tomb of the unknown,” where are inter- red the bones of several thousand of the unidentified dead from the battlefields of the rebellion. Here a halt was made while the tomb wes decorated and the band play~ ed a dirge. Then the march was continued by the main road and the procession sep- arated and proceeded with the further dec- oration of the graves. ~ Afterward it formed in line Again and marched to the amphitheater, ‘where the services were conducted.

Some Prominent Guests. Among the prominent guests were Maj. Gen.Schofiéld and Mrs.Schofield.The Corean minister and three members of the legation were also present, and many of the officers and men from Fort Myer in uniform were mong the crowds in the grounds. Promptly at noon light battery C of the artillery, Capt. Lancaster, stationed just back of Fort Myer, fired a national salute of twenty-one guns. The Musical Union of the G. A.

Speeches, Flowers, Music Mark the Day. ‘The great cemetery, filled with hundreds upon hundreds of tiny tombstones, at the Soldiers’ Home, was given a dash of color this morning. The prevailing white and green, stretching away acre after acre, had been filled in with red and blue, until the | landscape was like a rainbow that had been a Poetry | captured and induced to spread !tself over the earth for a time. The old men in the home, too, put on their gala attire, and in their meat white straw hats and blue unl- forms they were ready for the holiday. The grounds were in splendid condition, owing to the care of the new superintendent, Mr. David Allen, and each grave had a tiny American flag floating near the stone. The great army of the dead had been well re- membered. The crowds began to assemble at the grounds of the home early. By foot and by coach, by car and cab, they streamed out Col. Marion T. Anderson. by North Capitol street, by 7th street and by the Mt. Pleasant way, until all the highways and byways were lined with the pligrims to the shrine of the country’s heroes. Most of them carried baskets of | flowers or wreaths over their arms. ‘The widowed and the fatherless poured forth to pay tribute to the dead, and true comrades tolled to make the day bright in the hearts of the survivors, despite the lowering clouds and the occasional bursts of misty rain. At 10:30 the great white stand in the southwestern corner of the cemetery im- mediately back of the Logan Chapel was well filled with the guests, while the audi- torlum in front, with the grass for a car- pet and the thick-foliaged trees for a roof, was nearly occupied. The auditors sat upon | benches. On the east of the stand was the band of the fourth artillery, while on the west wer> ranged the guns of a battery from the same regiment. which, exactly at the mid-point of the hour, began to bark forth the twenty-one shots of the national salute. When the echoes of the sharp re- ports had died away the word of command was given and the three companies of ar- tillerymen, marching as infantry, formed in line, stacked arms and marched away to the home to escort the distinguished guests of the occasion, the speakers and Gen, Stealey, the governor of ihe home, to the stand. Decorating the Graves, Presently there filed forth from the stand nes of marching men, women and chil- dren bearing bunches amd bundles of flow- ers. They were like raiding parties, but they carried blooms instead of guns. Bush- els of daisies, roses and laurel lay stacked on the ground under a great tree in the rear of the stand, and soon melted under the charge of a col- umn of ladies, who bore off the flowers to scatter over the plain white headstones of the acres in the rear. While this was going on the band played the “Star Spangled Banner.” Half an hour was given for this ceremony, which was under the charge of | the foliowing ladies: Mrs. Gen. Stanley, Mrs. Nannie G. Cooke, Mrs. L. P. Williams, | Mrs. D. A. Irwin, Mrs, J. M. Holmes, Mrs. Joanna W. Turner, Mrs, Gladys ‘Thompson, Mrs. Kate M. Phillips, Mrs. Mary E. Gor- ham, Mrs, Bertha S. Rogers, Mrs. H.

At 11 o'clock two buglers from the band | appeared at the rostrum of the stand and blew the assembly, which was the signal for the commencement of the exercises proper. The band played “Inflammatus,” and then Marion T. Anderson, the senior vice department commander of the G. A. R., called the assembly to order with a few remarks. He congratulated the auditors for their pluck in braving the threats of rain, and then introduced the chaplain, Rev. Benjamin Swallow, who read the in- vocation. The Mozart Club lost a number from their program between the command~ er’s address and the prayer, but they did not mind this, and when the inyocation was concluded’ they went to the front of | the stand and sang “Still Remembered By this time the rain was falling quite steadily and the green arena in front of the stand was nearly covered with umbrellas. No one went away, however, but all sat through the ceremonies, | fired the national salute. WhUNEBSUAT, MAY oJ, 169-1 WELVE PAGES, When the singers had sounded the last note of their selection Mr. Anderson intro- duced the poet of the occasion, Representa- tive Thomas Dunn English of New Jersey, whose appearance was greeted with ap- plause. Mr. English delivered his beauti- ful stanzas with excellent effect, in a good voice, which rose as he proceeded until it went to the ears and the hearts of all in front of him, The Mozart Club then sang “Then Gather Flowers’ and the band play- ed the Jungmann Larghetto. Miss Grace Lynne McCulloch received a round of ap- plause When she advanced to sing her solo, “Ninety and Nine,” which she rendered in fine voice. . Representative Robert G. Cousins of lowa was the orator. His effort was unusually poetic and strong. He spoke for about half an hour and was frequently interrupted by the hand clapping of the veterans who sat below him, whose memories were revived by the beautiful language of the orator. He was succeeded by the Mozart Club once more, rendering “Let the Hills and Vales Resound,” and then the band played ‘‘Near- er, My God, to Thee.” Mr, Edwin Ferry then recited with splen- did dramatic effect the original poem, “The War Cry of Logan,” by Mrs. Clara Bell Brown. Mr. Ferry recited the rhythmic lines with fire and stirred the blood of the scarred men on the benches.* His voice was clear and strong, and it went singing through the trees among the flag-decked graves as though to awake the dead to life to charge once more upon an enemy. There was great applause when Mr. Ferry con- cluded, both for the author and the inter- preter of the poem. Logan’s Tomb. Rey. W. H. Gotwald pronounced the bene- diction and the ceremonies were concluded by the rendition of the Army Hymn of Peabody, by the band. But there was more to come, for year after year the tomb of the great commander of the Grand Army, Logan,has been visited as if it were a Mecca. When the strains of the hymn had died out, the speakers and officers on the stand de- scended and formed in line, with Mrs. Lo- gan at the head, leaning on the arm of her son-in-law, Maj. Tucker, and followed by the committees. The band played slow mu- sic and the line wound around the short stretch of road to the front of the hand- some granite chapel where the dead gen- eral sleeps. The line was halted and the band played a dirge. Representative Hen- derson made a few brief remarks eulogistic of the departed soldier and flowers were strewn over the pathway leading into the chapel. The little lane was bordered by two great American flags and the arch of the doorway was lined with laurel with the name “Logan” worked in with blos- soms. The interior of the chapel was a mass of flowers. Standing at the head, immediately in front, was a great harp of pink and white immortelles, placed there by the lov- ing hands of Mrs. Logan. On the side was a beautiful spray of lilles of the valley and pansies, tied with a broad purple ribbon, from Mrs, Tucker. A scroll in immortelles | sent by the Logan Guard of Honor lay at the base of the tomb. On the right hand of | the harp rested a wreath of roses, entwined | with ivy, and encircling palm leaves, the gift of the Logan Invincibles of Baltimore. This organization, headed by Captain De Hurst, has for the past eight years sent tributes to the tomb of the man whose | name it bears. This year half a dozen} members made the trip from the monu- mental city expressly to decorate the grave of the general. The Legion of Loyal Women sent a floral piece in the form of the badge of the Army of the Tennessee. The interior walls of the chapel were covered with the remains of the decorations of furmer years, which live on without end. The immortelles, of which they are com- posed, are fresh and bright now as they were when laid upon the tomb. A wreath from the Logan Sons of Veterans arrived at the chapel during the ceremonies. The chapel and its decorations were in charge ¢ Mrs. Electa E, Smith and Mrs. Caroline e. Other Graves. When the brief services at the chapel were concluded the procession moved along the path to the grave of Gen, Kelton, who! died during the past year while governor of | the home. The inmates of the home had | contributed to erect to his memory a hand- some granite shaft, and this was unveiled | today. It was draped with the national | colors, while two rifles were leaned against the sides, with the accouterments of a sol- dier on the grass. Two bronzed veterans stood guard at the foot of the grave, which was completely covered with a bed of red roses, with a cross of white worked in the! center in daisies. The band here played a} dirge, and Gen, Stanley, Gen. Kelton’s suc- cessor at the home, delivered a short ad- dress, commemorative of the character and talents of the dead soldier. The grave of Gen. Henry J. Hunt, a for- mer governor of the horc, was also hand- | somely decorated, the earth at the foot of | the stone being covered with a bed of daisies, with a cross in red roses in the cen- ter. The grave of Gen. Hunt's son, adjoin- ing, was also decorated with great care, ‘The Legion of Loyal Women decorated the grave of the late Frank Hatton, in Rock creek cemetery, across the road’ from the Soldiers’ Home, with a handsome floral 1ep- resentation of the button of the Loyal Le- gion, CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY. The Boom of Cannon triotic Ceren From 9 to 12 this morning the ladies of | East Washington and the committees of the | Grand Army of the Republic busied them- | selves decorating the graves in the Congres- sional cemetery, so that when the bugle| sourded the assembly call at noon for the ceremonies to begin the cemetery was a mass of flowers.

After the band played a dirge Col. Howlett call the assemblage to order, and as the Rev. J. D.

Out on the 7th street road beyond the village of Brightwood are the graves of nearly a hundred of the heroes who laid down their lives while courageously and successfully preventing the threatened in- vasion of the national capital*by the con- federate hosts. The spot is lovely in its pisturesque sim- plicity and the.small inclosure within the walls of masonry bespeaks the constant and tender attention of affectionate hands. Col. L. ». Bumpus. A pretty stone house, nearly hidden by vines and flowers, stands at the entrance and prominent above the emerald terrace rises the polished granite monument which loving Pennsylvania erected in mem- ory of the gallant Col. John T. Balier and thirty-eight soldiers of the 98th Penn- sylvania volunteers, who lost their lives in defending the home of the government. Back of this monument on a grassy knoll are forty-two little headstones that mari the last resting places of as many other brave men who fell in the same devoted cause. The Flag and Flowers. Such is Battle Creek cemetery, and this morning the stone obelisk was draped with the coiors which those who sleep beneath it loved so well, and then the flags them- selves, almost ob$cured by masses of ex- quisite flowers, which loving hands hung upon it at each of the individual graves, were the colors of the nation too, and each mound was piled high with the fragrant tributes of memory., The services attending the decoration of the monument and the graves were simple and impressive and were conducted under the auspices of the Union Veterans’ Union and the ladies of the Union Veterans’ Refief Union. It was the first time the Union Veterans’ Union had ever acted as an independent organiza- tion on Memorial day, it having heretofore united with the Grand Army in the decora- tion ceremonies, and its officers and mem- bers and their fair companions may feel well satisfied with the success of the in- novation. Mixs McGown Address. The services were opened with a feeling prayer by Key. Green Clay Smith, the chap- lain of the organization. Miss Jessie A. McGowan, seeretary of the Woman's Re- lef Union, hung a garland of flowers on the monument above the Pensylyanians’ dust and made a short and graceful ad- dress, After reciting the prowess of the great hosts who went forth in behalf of their country to offer up their lives upon the altar of patriotism as a willing sac- rifice, she expressed appreciation of the honor conferred upon her associates in be- ing permitted to join in the exercises. “The name of soldier to some may mean but lit- tle,” she said, “but to those women who are either the mother, wife, sister or daugh- ter of a soldier how much it means; what pride it infuses; a pride that no oppression ean subdue, living or dead.” Gen, Bumpuw’ Remarks, Gen. L. D. Bumpus, commander of the Union Veteran Union, followed. “A generation has passed awa’ he , “since the last battle of the civil war was fought, and still there remain many who participated in the bloody and stirring scenes of those days that tried men’s souls. Altogether 2,656,00) answered their coun- | try’s‘call during the war. Of that grand army 200,000 sealed their devotion to one country and one flag with thetr life's blood. | Of “those who were safely discharged and | sent to their homes when the war was | over 700,000 have answered to the last roll call. “Altogether 1,600,000 of those who went out to do and die for their country have passed to the other side of the silent river | and are stil passing over at the rate of oO each year. It would be impossible for a grateful | country to erect a monument of granite or | bronze to commemorate the heroic devo- | tion of each individual soldier who thus died that the nation might live, hence this beautiful custom of strewing their graves with flowers and tears was inaugurated, thus erecting in the hearts of the people | a monument more lasting than marble | slab or granite shaft. | “When cur beautiful city was menaced by | traitors’ hands, the comrades, at whose graves we meet today to decorate, weraq called from other buttlefields to save the seat of government from the despoiling touch of a traitor, and here within sight | of the dome of our Capitol they gave their lives to save our city and government. “The blood of the solders of several states mingling together sank into this soil, and by that red covenant it has become conse- | crated and hallowed ground for all time to come. “The soldiers of all the loyal states did well, and it would ill become me, in this sacred presence, to mahe any distinction, | but as a Pennsylvanian, and standing at the base of this Pennsylvania monument, | I trust you will pardon me for saying that none did better than the soldiers of the old keystone state. Phere was not a state, loyal or {nsurrec- tionary, which was the seat of war, which Goes not hold within its borders the honor- ed and sacred remains of the slain heroes of Pennsylvania. Remember, that when Beauregard first trained his murderous guns | upon Fort Sumter Pennsylvania was there. Our volunteers were first to reach the na- tional capital. Remember, they were at | Appomattox, where traitors fired their last volley." This battlefield, he reminded his hearer, was ne exception to the rule, ani he feel- ingly described how the beautiful monu- | ment was erected by a grateful people to the memory of Col. John T. Baller of the | Pernsylvania volunteers and thirty-six of | his command, who had shed their blood on that very spot for their country’s salvation. The participants in the ceremonies then took possession of the flag-draped platform two headstones are ur- ranged, and Mr. J. G. Burchfield read an original poem by J. W. Powell, two verses of which were as follows: “Sleep on, brave hearts, nor heed the storm That breaks above your humble bed; The noblest names are those that form The roster of our country’s dead. “Today with offerings we come, Mute tributes of our grateful love; More eloquent, though ever dumb, Than passioned words can ever prove.” Congressman frosius of Pennsylvania was then introduced to the assemblage and made an address, an abstract of which is given elsewhere. ST. ELIZABETH’S. Anacostia Patriots Remember Graves of Dead Heroes. Nearly all of Anacostia turned out to at- tend the memorial services at the cemetery at St. Elizabeth's, where there are many dead soldiers buried. The ceremony was un- der the direction of the John A. Logan Post, ‘0. 13, George H. Armstrong, commander. At 10 o'clock the parade was formed, head- ed by the Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps, the little lads making a bright picture among the solemn trees with their zouave costumes. They were followed by the members of the post and the Wm. 8. King Camp, Sons of the Veterans. The graves were decorated at 10:30, and after that the ceremonies were begun. The program was as follows: Assembly by the bugler; singing, St. Elizabeth choir; prayer, Post ‘Chaplain W. G. Davenport introductory, Post Commander G. H.

At Graceland Cemetery. The services at Mt. Olivet and Graceland cemeteries were attended by a large num- ber. George H, Thomas Post, No. 15, G. A. R., and George H. Thomas Camp, No. 31, Sons of Veterans, were in charge of the ceremonies. These bodies met at Melford Hall, 8th and I streets northeast, and, ac- companied by the speakers, poets and chap- lains, the guests, the ladies of the decora- tion committee, the choir and children of the Sunday schools, the line of march was taken up to Graceland cemetery. Comman- der Theophilus Fitzgerald of Post No. 15, G. A. R., presided, and after music by the cand, prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Thomas C. Easton. The Sunday school children sang and A. N. Dobson of Camp No. 31, Sons of Veterans, delivered an ad- dress. A chorus sang the memorial hymn and then Representative Pickler of South Dakota delivered an oration, an abstract of which appears in another column. The children sang another selection, and Chap- lain William H. Honn of Post ‘15 delivered an address. A male quartet sang, and an original poem was read by W. W. Granger.

The Distinguished Dead Remembered by Floral Decorations. At Oak Hill cemetery the memory of the army and navy dead was revered and hon- ored with more than the usual care and tenderness. The decorations had been left to Geo. U. Morris Post, No. 19, G. A. R., and the special committee appointed to lo- cate the graves of the dead worked with such diligence that before noon nearly every mound covering a hero was beauti- fied with loving tributes. Those composing the committee were J. W. Kirkley, Fred. W. Storch, Edwin H. Harner, Geo. W. Fletcher and Thos. Brown. In addition to these the following members of the post spread floral remembrances on the graves of the soldiers at Holy Rood: Joseph Ull- mer, Charles McCarthy, William Dun- nigan, John Potter and John Hay- day. Captain D, W. Houghton, who has had long experience in locating graves, as- sisted the committees materially, while the services of Mesdames Kirkley, Lichty, Gas- kins, Roach, Miller, Stabler, Fletcher, Har- “Almost as Palatableas Milk” This is a fact with regard to Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil.

IN HOTEL CORRIDORS. “The Parisian “Mont de Piete’ is now in operation on a limited scale in New York city,” said Philip Barney of Gotham at the Riggs House yesterday, “and the people of New York who are driven by necessity to temporarily part with cherished personal Property im return for a loan are now given the opportunity of doing so without sub- mitting to the usurious charges of regular Pawnbrokers. The new venture is know as the Provident Loan Association and th: opened its experimental office at 22d street and Fourth avenue. It began last Monday, and,spfar, T understand, has been liberally patronized. Some time ago a number of the wealthy men in New York, among whom were Frederick H. Coudert, Abram S. Hew- itt, J. Pierpont Morgan, Adrian Iselin, ex- Secretary Chas. 8. Fairchild, Wm. E. Dodge, Oswald Ottendorfer and some twen- ty or thirty others, formed themselves into a@ company known as the Provident Loan Association, with a capital of $100,000. Their purpase was to loan money on jew- elry, clothing, furniture and similar prop- erty in sums to sult the owne-s at the rate of i per cent per month, and it was determined no charges of a fictitious char- acter, such as for storage, insurance and so forth, should be made to swell the in- terest to an usurious rate. The legislature of New York passed a bill exempting the association from the annual tax of $300 which regular pawnbrokers are required to pay as a license and business was begun. An experienced New York pawnbroker named Leopold Hecht was placed in charge of the establishment and the wisdom of his employment was fully shown in the first two days the place was open, because it was visited by hund:els of dishonest people, who brought worthless jewelry and wanted to pawn it with the idea chat they would find inexperienced people behind the counters who would allow their philan- thropy to blind them to the real walue of the things offered as collateral. if the present venture proves suc2essful similiar ner, Kettner, Signor and Stewart, and Misses Houghton, Robinson, Ullmer, Storch, Kirkley, Shott, Harner and Collins were almost invaluable in facilitating the deco- rating. At noon the magnificent cemetery was a wilderness of flowers. Not a soldier or sailor in the city of the dead had been ne- glected, so far as is known, and as if to still more strongly testify to the remem- brance in which the dead were held, loving relatives lingered over the graves when the work had been done, tears were shed by others and living comrades told in saddened tones the goodnesses of those beneath the sod. Oak Hill contains the dust of probably more historical greatness than any private cemetery in the country. The tombs dis close a myriad of titles. Less than thirty- five years ago the wearers of those dis- tinguishing marks were the talk of the na- Uon. A grave that was paid particular at- tention to by the decorating post was that Commander Geo. U. Morris, who had charge of the Cumberland, and whose serv- ices to his country were important and 2p- preciated. A magnificent floral design in the form of an anchor was the post's mark of remem- brance. In all, nearly 250 graves were beautified in Oak Hill by the Georgetown G. A. R. organization. Among them were the resting places of the following: Gea. O. E. Babcock, Capt. Alois Babo, Rear Admiral Theodorus Bailey, Lieut. Thomas Barker, Gen. Joseph K. Barnes, Admiral John C. rmont, Gen.

Stanton, old Secretaries of War, were particularly remembered, with that of the famous itinerant preacher, Lo- renzo Dow, whose epitaph, “He was a slave to no sect, Took no common road, But looked through nature Up to Nature’s God,” never fails to attract attention. Dow's body was originally buried in Hol- mead's burying ground, at the head of 16th street, but on the ransacking of that inof- fensive city W. W. Corcoran had it re- moved to Oak Hill, and with it the original covering slab, a plain, weather-worn sand stone.

B. O'Neill of the City of Churcties at the Ebbitt this morning. “Without exception, so I am informed, every company carrying a risk on a church has notified the offi- cials of such an institution that their rates will be raised. As an insurance man my- self I have always thought that the rates on churches were altogether too lows I know of many instances where companies havé refused to put a two thousand five hundred dollar policy on a house, and straightway gone to work and put a $7.40 safeguard on a church. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, when a church «ti- fice catches fire, it is absolutely destroyed. The construction of such a building makes it a regular blast furnace as soon as the flames get any headway whatever. There were five hundred people or more in the tabernacle, you know, when the fire was first discovered, and, in spite of this, there was no chance, apparently, to stay its pro- gress. I suppose the low rates on churches that have heretofore held good have been j caused by the impression on the part of the insurance people that Divine Providence: pro- tects the edifices in question, but it has been shown that careless sextons are only hu- mn. and the proof has been so costly that I believe the rates on church buildings all over the country will be lifted up to a basis sufficient to make the risks fair ones to the companies assuming them.” “New Jersey has just adopted a new law which will prevent all forms of quack medi- cine being practiced in the state,” said Dr. Hamilton Beckwith of Elizabeth at La Nor- ind especially will it drive out the so-called faith cure and mind cure healers, who have been reaping a har- j vest among the deluded for such a long time. The new law requires that all candi- Gates who wish to get permission to prac- tice medicine must have a competent com- mon-school education and be graduates of medicine and surgery, which they shall have studied fur at least four years and upon which they sh: have & m three full courses of lectures at some reputable school of medicine within the state. The board of health of the state is made the final judge of the qualifications of such applicants, and if a physician from another state wishes to practice in New Jersey he will be required to bring a certificate from the board of health of the state which he comes from, which must also have requirements similar to those in force in New Jersey. The enact- ment of this law was brought about mainly by the alarming spread of this so-called faith-cure practice. You cannot imagine how many virtual homicides have been com- mitted in this country in the name of the faith cure. It was first called te my atten. tion in a serious way while I was in Den- ver in 1890. “There was a young man prominent in the business circles of the city, and who was, I believe, secretary of the Denver mining ex- change, by the name of Joshua Vansant. He was taken sick with a complication of disorders, his kidneys particularly being pretty badly affected. His wife, it appear- ed, had been giving a great deal of atten- tion to*the so-called faith cure or Chris- tian science system for the treatment of disease, and when her husband was taken sick she called in some of the disciples of the new creed of cure and regularly se- cured their services. Some of Vansan friends happened to hear that prayer wi taking the place of physic in his sick room and sent regular physicians to his resi- dence. Mrs. Vansant refused to allow the doctors to see her husband, and of course he grew steadily worse. A Denver news- paper learned of the affair and exposed it, but it was then too late to do the sufferer any good and he died. There was no doubt in the minds of any of the reputable physt- cians of Denver, when all the detalls of Mr. Vansant’s cafe were learned, that his life could have been prolonged had it not been for the employment of the faith cure quacks. I believe the law of New Jersey would look splendidly upon the statute books of every state in the Union, well as on those of the United States itself.” ange Refused. -boned individual, who introduced himself as Maj.

He explained that his pury pose was a peaceable one, and that he merely wished to address the people of Washington that they might better under- stand how to relieve the wants and of the laboring classes. In taking his des parture he remarked that Galvin and his men would remain here until the object of their expedition was accomplished. ——_—_ Fears of an Indian Outbreak. ‘A dispatch from Bombay says that the @aubing of trees is extending.
