LAST NIGHT'S CONFERENCE + oe Gen. Carnahan, commandef-in-chief of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, the Pythian encampment committee and scme members of the citizens’ committee conferred last night at the Ebbitt House. The questions considered were those per- taining to the selection of judges for the competitive drill, the printing of the drill schedule, the route of march for the parade, the location of the reviewing stands, and many matters connected with the camp. Mr. Richard Goodhart, chairman of the executive committee, called the conference to order, and in a few words introduced Gen, Carnahan, who said that he ‘had re- quested this conference beeuuse there were certain matters which he wanted to get to work at tomorrow, and which he did not desire to defer till Monday, the time for the next regular meeting of the executive committee. He wanted a statement from the committee as. to the progress of the work, and the plans for the encampment and ‘the general condition of Affairs, .so that they might all know precisely where they stood. For the benefit of the citizens who were unacquainted with the uniform rank, but who might want to khow some of the details, he stated the uniform rank was composed of twenty brigades of from two to ten regiments each; that Ohio and Indiana are the states having the largest membership and from which the en- campment would receive the largest attendance. Then in numerical strength follow Illinois, Missouri, Karisas and Texas in the order named, and from these states would also come strong commands of knights, proviced appropriate concessions from the railroads could be obtained. All the knights asked was the same conces- sions which the railroads have made for various organizations, and which they are now making for the Grand Army of the Ke- public. The Expected Attendance. He stated and he said that he desired to make a careful, safe and conservative es- timate that there would be a hundred thou- sand knights and other strangers in Wash- ington on the occasion of the convention of the Supreme Lodge and the encampment of the uniform rank. He was convinced that this estimate was not too high. He thought if it erred at all, it was in the direction of lesty. He be- lieved the number of visitors might reach 130,000 or 140,000. To give an idea to the citizens of What an encampment of the Uniform Rank meant, he stated that after the Kansas City affair he was driving with the president of one of the cable car lines. He asked that dignitary how he was satis- fied, and he answered: “Our company is pleased.” Im response to a question as to how many people his line had carried, he was answered that on the day of the parade that one company transported 107,000 peo- ple. That was only one line. There were two other lines connecting the camp with the city, and these presumably did a big business also. The cable officer informed him that the rallreoad made as mich money on the second day as on the first. Gen. Cur- rahan stated that he was aware that it was more difficult to raise money this year than it was two years ago. This fact had been demonstrated to him in various ways, and yet there never was # time in the his- tory of the order that the men of the Uni- form Rank were making such strenuous ef- forts to attend the encampment of that or. der. Were the encapment not to be held Wi the knights might as well abandon it. Washington was the attrac- tion. They had a manifold making extraordinary here. Washington itself Ss an attractive goal for the ambitious American tourist, and the making a grand display in the capital of the country meant an increase in the prestige of the order. Gen. Carna- han made several other observations along this line, and concluded by saying that they might just as well get down to business at once. He did not pro- ose to go into anything that required the expenditure of a single dollar without first consulting and securing the assent of the committee. Judges of the Drills. He then read from notes about the things which would come to the consideration of the conference. First, it was necessary that they should arrange for judges for the com- petitive drills. There were three classes of drills, namely, infantry companies, infantry battalions and cavalry troops. This will re- quire three sets of judges, or nine officers. It_was necessary that the judges should be officers of the regular army, who were edu- cated men, versed on every tactical point, devoid of personal preferences in this mat- ter, and whose décision would be accepted as unprejudiced and just. Only regular army officers would render a decision, of this kind which would be above dispute. He did not know whether the army officers could be sé- cured here, but were it possible to do so— that is, if the Secretary of War permitted it—it would be done. This*would save the expense of travel which had been incurred by the executive committees at Milwaukee and Karsas City in eo officers from distant military posts. e only expense which the committee would incur would be the hotel bills of the officers, Ne ged man, a tent and incidentals. it Perfectly wise to curtail the expenses of the encamp- ment wherever practicable, but it could not be judiciously done in the matter of the judges. As long as they had set apart $8,500 for prizes, the expense for the judges in determining to whom those prizes should be awarded ought not to be curtailed. The War Department had been universally kind to the order of the Knights of Pythias. It was the only organization, other than the National Guard, to which the regulur amy had extended the right hand of fello vship. The tactics of the Uniform Rank were the tactics of the regular ay:my, and this was another reason why the regular army offi- cers should © preferred. A member of the committee suggested at this point that even if the regular army officers could not be secured at Washington this town boasted of many expert tacticians who would make capable judges, but this objection was met by the statement that there could be no competitive drill without the officers of the regular army. Remarks were made upon this subject by Chairman Goodhart, Secretary Medford, Mr. Nouey Anderson, Gen. John E. Smith, John M. Khne, Mr. B, T. Doyle, Mr, J. W. Carter, Col. Harry Coggins, Mr. George Heisley, Mr. J. B. Connor and Genf Brand of Chi- cago, Gen. Carnahan’s chief of staff. On mction of Mr. Doyle, Gen. Carnahan was authorized to see the War Department offi- cers for the purpose of securing the neces- sary judges. Gen. Carnahan Stated that there were now entered for the drill fifty ecmpanies of infantry, four battalions of irfantry and five troops of cavalry. He did not know where this would have ended haa he not announced fn his order, issued last March, that entries for the drill would close on June 1. Since the latter date he had re- celved, about a dozen applications for ad- mission to the lists. The duty of judging all this would keep the judges busy, very busy, for probably four days. Chairman Goodhart stated that they had engaged Capital Base Ball, Park for three days only, and Gen, Carnahan, stated that it Would be prebably necessary to utilize a part of the days set aside for the parade, inspection and review for the drilling competition. Gen. Carnahan asked how many tents had been contracted for, and Secretary Medford answered that they had contracted for 3,822 tents, with the option of decreas- ing or increasing this number by notifying the contractors by July 1. ‘The Route of the Parade. The subject of the route of the parade was the next question, and this resulted in a division of opinion. The original plan of parade, as agreed on by Gen. Carnahan and staff, was that the column should form at the camp, march up fth street, down the avenue, passing the reviewing stands of the President and Supreme Lodge on the right, to the Peace monument, and counter march up the north side of the avenue to camp. This plan was objected to by several of those present because of the confusion of the bands when counter-marching, and the fact that the men might forget their discipline by looking at the passing column on their left. After a good deal of discus- sion, in which military terms were abund- antly used, it was moved and carried that this part of the program be committed to the judgment of Gen, Carnahan. One of the points made by the objectors to this plan was that it was customary here to form on the side streets cast of the Capitol and march up the avenue, passing the Pres- ident to the left. Those who held this view maintained that it was a more imposing spectacle to see the phalanx moving in one direction than to see a confusion of forces. Among those who participated in this discussion were Col. Mann of Texas, Gen. Brand, Mr. Goodhart, Mr. Kiine, Mr. Connor, Mr. Heisley, Gen. Smith, Col. C gins and others. Gen. Carnahan advised the committee of the uselessness of a band for escort duty to the incoming divisions, because one band, even though divided into sections, could not Go the work, because the commands would be coming in in sec- tions and over the different railroads. A musical escort for one division and not to another might cause dissatisfaction. All that was needed and all that was usual was that 4 committee of three should meet each division and shew it to its quarters. A motion was put to this effect, but was opposed by Messrs. Kline, Helbig, Connor, Heisley and Anderson, on the ground that the committee had already entered into a contract with a band for this duty, and the contract could not be abrogated. It was moved and carried that the whole matter of music be laid over ull the next meeting. After considetable talk of minor conse- quence the meeting was adjourned. Pythians Present.

General Brand 1s a survivor of the vorth Zouaves, and president of the Elsworth Zouave Veterans’ Association. He was one of the originals who gave ex- hibition drills with that famous organizu- tion, afid tells many interesting stories of Kulswotth and his methods and strictness as a disciplinarian. General Brand par- ticipated in ali the battles in which the Zouaves figured. At the last annual. ban- quet of the association, which was held at the residence of General Brand, there were present nineteen survivors, one of whom came all the way from Seattle to attend the reunion. General Brand is also comé) mander of the Chicago Hussars, which bears the same relation to the windy city that the City Troop of Philadelphia does to the town of brotherly love. it always acts as escort to the mayor on occasions of pcmp and was the official escourt ‘to the di- rectory of the world’s fair.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Please pardon this trespass upon your time and space, but I feel that, in justice to my friend, the Rev. G. F. Williams, rec- tor of Christ Church, Navy Yard, some ex- planation should be made as regards! his non re-election as archdeacon of the con- vocation of Washington. It might be in- ferred from the report of convocation pro- ceedings at Rockville on Tuesday last, in your issue of June 13, that there was a contest over the election, but such was not the case. Mr. Williams has held the office most acceptably for four years, and when nominated for the fifth time, declined re- election, owing to the pressing duties of parish work. He then asked that he he per- mitted to nominate his successor, which be- ing granted _ he, in a very graceful manner, named the Rev. Dr. Childs, who was anani. mously chosen. After the meeting, both clergy and laity cordially thanked Mr. Witl- jams for his faithful services, and ex; many regrets that he should feel constrain- ed to resign a position he had so ably and acceptably filled.

Austin. i The Closing Meeting of the Senson of the Men’s Society, Charch of the Covenant. season was heli by the Men's Soctety of the-Church of the Covenant in the chapel of the church. The occasion was one of more than usual interest, not only from the fact that it was the last of a series of monthly past year but also from the presence of ladi2s who were there as the guests of the members. A brief business meeting «as held in one of the upper rooms, witi the president, Mr. John B. Wight, in the chair, and Mr. C. S. Clark as secretary. Shortly after 8 o'clock the guests of the society came into the chapel, where they were re- ceived by the members. A program that was original and entertaining was rendered, after Which light refreshments were served, j and the remainder of the evening was de- voted to social intercourse. The music was furnished by the Capital Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Club, composed of Messrs. G. Fred, Conboye, W. B. Littleton, George B. Ostermayer, and Max Schmidt, director. ‘The selections were finely rendered by these sceomplished musicians, and were greatly | enjoyed and appreciated by the audience, who insisted on an encore in each case. The baritone voice of Mr. George A. Prevost was heard to advantage in a solo. A chatty, familiar talk was given by ‘the well-known oriental scholar, Prof. Cyrus Adler of the Johns Hopkins University and of the Smithsonian Institution, on “Jerusa- lem and how to get there.” As the speaker remarked, the subject could be better stated in the form of Jerusalem,” and he proceeded to discuss it in that order, He said that New York was only fourteen days from Jaffa, the seaport {which is forty miles from Jerusalem. A | railroad now connects the seaport with the am€ient city, and the speaker said that thére was a good deal of speculation as to what effect the railrozd would have upon Jerusalem. In his opinion it would proba- bly be the same as that which followed the introduction of machinery into the manu- tactpring centers of England. It meant a chafige in occupation, and he supposed that the people who were engaged in transport- ing by mules, donkeys and camels, goods between Jerusalem and the seacoast would be obliged to seek other means of livelihood. Modern Feutares. He created a good deal of amusement by speaking of the real estate boom which has sprung up about Jerusalem, and told of one man who said that three or four years ago he had paid 3,000 francs for a house, and now he could get 5,000. He combated the prevailing idea that Jerusalem was occu- pled muinly by lepers and beggars. He spoke of the establishment of libraries and their patronage by the people there, of the industrial schools and of other teatures which mark modern progressive life. He | said that, strange to say, the Turk in Jeru- salem occupied the place of a peacemaker }and prevented the factional rows which | were imminent each Easter day between the representatives of the Greek and the Latin churches. Naturally, what he had to say of the | archaeology of Jerusalem was of great in- terest. He referred to the work of the Palestine exploration committee, which had been interrupted by the Turkish authori- ties, but was now to be resumed. There was so little known, he sald, about the to- Pography of ancient Jerusalem that these researches were of the highest importance. He spoke about the ancient walls and de- scribed the old marble quarry frum which it {8 Supposed the stones were taken that were used in the construction of the temple. This quarry is now 150 feet deep and about 1,000 feet In extent. He referced to the statement in the Bible that there was no sound of the hammer heard in building the temple, and said that he had found evi- dences in looking over the quarry that the work of dressing the stones was carried on in the caverns in the lower part of the quarry. The audience was introduced to an en- tirely different theme, but one that was full of interest, by Mr. O. P. Austin, the well-known newspaper corresponéent, who gave an account of President Harrison's trip to the Pacific coast in the spring cf 1891. Mr. Austin was a member of that party, and his account of the journey of 10,000 miles, occupying thirty-one days, was followed with close attention, Le spoke of the ‘character of the train which furnished the accommodations for the party of eight- een, and he said that for the President .t was a journey of constant. work. ‘The speechmaking, he said, began at % o'clock in the morning and did not end un:il 19 at night. The train schedule had provided but for three stops the first day, but deie- gations boarded the train and ‘nsiste? upon halts at other points. The result was, said the speaker, that seven stops were made, seven speeches of welcome fired at the President, seven bands vlayed “Hail to the Chief,” seven assemblages cheered them- selves hoarse, and seven addresses, cach of an entirely different character from its fel- Yows, were.made by the Presideat. And so it was, he said, all the way through the trip, and however unexpected the demand. The President was always ready with a kindly response. In regard to the impromptu character of the President's speeches, Mr. Austin said that his duties re- quired him to be near the President when he was speaking, and that he never saw him refer to a single note or memorandum during or prior to the delivery of the one hundred and forty speeches made by him. Mr. Austin said that he felt convinced that touching remarks to the old soldlers or words of encouragement to the hardy pion- | eers often reached a tender spot. demonstrations, said the speaker, was at Salt Lake, where the President, speaking of the American home, used the words: “Where one wife sits in single uncrowned glory.” This was greeted with many a sol- emn “Amen” from those about him. Many of the incidents of the trip, the personal ad- | | | } | saiivenirs were related in an amusing and entertaining manner. or heen Wants Alimony, In the case of Alexander A.

Albaugh’s.—At an enormous cost Mr. Ed- sar Strakosch will present for the first time in the history of Washington the fa- mous “living pictures” at Albaugh’s Mon- day night next und during the week. These “living pictures” have been the sensation of the day. ‘They are now being presented in New York, Boston, Philadelpnia, Chica- go, and, in fact, in all the leading cities of the country. From an artistic standpoint these pictures leave nothing to be desired. They are direct reproductions of the fa- mous works of great artists. With stage and house darkened, two curtains a7e sud- denly drawn aside by two pages, and the greatest works of modern artists are re- vealed to the public with human subjects posing in attitudes portrayed by the art- ist’s brush. The subjects for the “living pictures’ were engaged in New York for this production by Mr. Strakosch. They are models who pose for artists, and each one is selected for her adaptability for each particular painting. Not only in the lead- ing subjects does the interest centez, but upon the accessories and surroundings. Every background is painted to represent that of the picture which is shown. These pictutes are shown in a huge gilt frame and are at near as possible to the original painting. They will be shown during the inte-mission between the and third acts af the “Bohemian Girl,” “The Little Duke” and “Olivette.’ ‘ Fifteen will be exhibited each night and the subjects will be changed during the week. Some of the paintings to be duced in the “li Angel Storm,” “Ny Polar Star,” * ie,” “Sappho,” * Tale,” “Ariadne,” “Cupid and Psyche,” “La Cigale,” Tannhauser,” “Venus,” “Psyche at the Well,” “Venus de Medici,” “Venus of Milo,” “Aphrodite” and @ number of others of equal prominence. The three ‘operas which will be presented this week are “Olivette” on Monday and Thursday nights, “Bohemian Girl,” Tuesday and Friday nights and Saturday matinee, and “The Little Duke” on Wednesday and Saturday nights. This week will also mark the re- appearance of Miss Avery Strakosch as Arline in the “Bohemian Girl” and the Lit- tle Duke in the opera of that name. The cast will be a very strong one for each opera. ‘The only member of the company who will take part in the pictures will be Miss Mamie Gilroy, who has kindly con- sented to appear as the “Queen of Flow- ers.” New National Theater.—Next week tne Summer Comedy Company at the New Na- tional Theater will present H.

The pedestyians are in excellent form, and are working hard to lower all past records. Miss Aggie Harvey, champion of the world, whose record is 372 miles, is exercising every effort to retain the Utle, while the Little Wonder is a close second. Clara Bell is pushing the leaders for first place, and the others are all well up. The records to date are the best ever made on any track by female pedestrians, and there is every assurance that when the finish draws near it will be very interesting and decidedly exciting. The walkers are on the track six hours daily, from 4 to 6 and & to 12 p.m. W. A.

Mr. J. K. the part of Frants. a who leads the soldiery will be impersonated by Miss Belle Travers. Mr. Shaw has been busily occupled in assisting Director Ma- chette in rehearsing the principals and chorus, and the numerous conferences be- tween Mr. Johnson and Stage Manager Bell have resulted in getting the business of the entire opera into definite and compact shape.
