Little Florence, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. W. de C. Ravenelle of the fish com- mission, died on Saturday morning under the most distressing circumstances. Fri-| éay evening the little one was playing on| the stone steps of an adjoining house, when she slipped and fell into the areaway. She} struck her head on the stones and her skull | Was fractured. She was at once carried in-| to her father’s house, 1816 Corcoran street. | Several physicians were summoned, and they labored with her all night, but to no| avail, for she passed away in the morning. The bereaved parents are distracted over the sad event, for a few moments before the accident the father saw the little one} and feels that if he had only called to her — home she would still be alive and Enjoyable Outing. Saturday marked the inauguration of a @elightful series of weekly excursions to ‘Chapel Point, the popular resort down the Fiver. It was given under the auspices of the Catholic Benevolent League, and sev- eral hundred people went down on the steamer Harry Randall. At the point a Dountiful dinner was served, and late in the afternoon the party returned to the city after a most enjoyable outing. > — Knights of St. John.

AGAINST THE SALOON Work of the Temperance League in Oppos- ing Licenses. First Anniversary of the Anti-Saloon League—The Work of the Year Reviewed. The first anniversary of the Anti-Saloon League of the District was held at the | First Congregational Church last evening. Despite the oppressive weather, there was | an excellent attendance. The Rev. Luther | B. Wilson, presiding elder of the Washing- ton district of the M. E. Church, and presi- | dent of the league, presided, and seated ebout him on the platform were the follow- | ing well-known workers im the cause of | temperance: Mr. John N. Stearns of New | York, secretary of the National Temperance | Society; Rev. James Yeames of Boston, Mrs. T. B. Knapp, superintendent of the Juvenile Templars in Michigan, and Mr. A. j N. Canfield, grand chief templar of the District. After prayer had been offered by the Rev. Mr. Yeames, Mr. Stearns delivered an ad- dress upon the subject of total abstinence. | Picturing the evils of the Mquor traffic, he | declared that the only hope of salvation from it was a proper education of the chil- dren. The managers of many railroads in the country prohibited their employes from drinking or visiting liquor shdps while on duty, and he believed that a great reform would be accomplished when the churches | adopted such a principle in connection with their members. A report prepared by Mr. Robert L. Ewing was then read by Pré#ident Wilson, describing the work done by the league | since {its organization, June 23, 1893, and | since the organization, in January last. It showed that the league had mn successful to @ large extent in uniting the churches, the various temperance societies, and all other organizations within the District of | Columbia opposed to the liquor traffic, in | aggressive opposition to the same. An enumeration of the societies and other or- | sunizations enlisted was given, it_ being | shown that there were thirty-ilve distinct | churches f, eight Protestant denomina- | tions more or ‘less ditectly répresented in | the league, besides yarious subordinate dl- visions of the Good Templars, the Inde- pendent Order of Rechabites, the Sons of Jonadab, Sons of Temperance, and the Dis- trict W. C. T. U., with the heads of the same. The Father Mathew Total Absti- nence Society, the Newman Loyal Temper- ance Legion of the Congregational Church, and the Central Union Mission were also mentioned as interested. There were no churches or temperance organizations, 30 | far as known, antagonistic to the league. Opposing Lice: The work of Mr. Jesse C. Suter, em- ployed as a clerk by the league's execu- tive committee, was highly commended by Mr. Wilson. Mr. Suter, he said, had been recognized in his official capacity by the | excise board, and had been present every | day at its sessions to represent the inter- | ests of temperance people in the granting | of licenses, for the first time in the history of the District. Mr. Wilson stated that during the last fiscal year 1,100 licenses had been granted, of which 638 had been for bar rooms and 462 for wholesale places, | against 741 for the present fiscal year, of | which 04, including thirteen clubs, had been for bar rooms and 137 for wholesale places. The cost of the licenses first named | had been $75,350, while the cost of those gtanted the present year had been $275,800. | The number of protests to the granting of | licenses the present year has been, as | stated by the report, 300, against 100 for the year previous. P The financlal statement of the league showed that the total receipts from various | seurces had been $393.26, against an in-| debtedness amounting to $628.90, leaving a deficit of $235.64. Contributions were asked for during the evening to make up this sum. Against the Saloon. The league, explained Mr. Wilson, was against the saloon because the saloon was the greatest enemy of the nineteenth cen- tery civilization. It was the duty of the league to follow the saloon wherever it showed activity, and to engage in battle | with it on the spot. The tem needed a rallying point, and w intended to supply. Brief addresses were made by Mrs. Knapp and the Rev. Mr. Yeames, after which the benediction was pronounced. it Music for the Masses. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Allow me to add a humble postscript to the clever editorial in Saturday's Star on Fark music. Between the ultra “cultured” and the ul- tra “popular” tastes there is a happy me- dium, which our able conductor occasionally | finds, but when found why is it not abided by? it seems a truism to say that there is good music in abundance that would please ail tastes. Selections from Wagner's “Lo- | hengrin” are invariably greeted with ap- | plause. Dozens of other great operas mignt | yield equal pleasure. Dance music by the best composers exists in embarrassing abun- dance, from the most elaborate ballet scores to simple soul-stirring marches and irre- | sistible waltzes. The song world is inex- | haustible. What crowd, however “mixed,” does not | listen delightedly to Schubert aud Mendels- sohn, to the Scotch and Irish and English melodies? PAGLIACCIO. a The Grand Master's Trip. Mr. Robert Hill-Male, grand master of the United Order of Odd Fellows, who is here on a visit from his home in Wales, at the Invitation of the local colored lodges of the order, was received by the President at the White Holise, informally, on Saturday. While he is m this country he will visit Savannah, Montgomery, New Orleans, Chi- cago, Pittsburg, Boston and Philadelphia, returning to New York im time to sa{l on | the Majestic on July 11. He will be ac- companied by Grand Master Forrester and Grand Secretary C. H. Brooks, —— ee Women’s Press Assvciation. The Woman's National Press Association captured the steamer Macalester on Friday evening last and sailed away for Indian Head. An enjoyable musical and literary | program was rendered on the boat. after | which refreshments were served.

The dogs are all taxed | $2; why not the cats? Or why not make the people who will cwn the miserable beasis keep them in doors? A SUBSCRIBER. 4 —_—_—-> Guilty of Ma hte After being out two hours and fifteen min- utes the jury in the ease of Dr. Edward Leon, alias Thompson, at 5 o'clock Satur- day afternoon declared that he was guilty of man: jughter. ‘The trial was the second used upon the charge of snur- by abortion, the unnamed child of stelle E. Beach on the Sist of Octo- . the first resulting in 4 verdict of | iity of murder. That judgment was sub- nentiy aside by Judge Cole, and a trial granted. At the second trial the nvicted man was defended by Messrs. amuel D. Truitt and E. G, Niles, assisted by Mr. O. D. Barrett, District ‘Attorney Birney prosecuting. Upon the renditton of | the verdict the prisoner was remanded to | jail to await sentence. eT Fourth of July. The Y. M. C. A.

Wer- | ner will have charge of the general a) rangements at the grove. | Kuhn, rance forces | ! A NUMBER OF FIRES, fat Nome of Them Did Any Great Amount of Damage. The firemen who were fortunate enough to get a day’s leave and go down the river today on the annual excursion of the de- partment for the benefit of the pension fund earned their vacation. Since Satur- day afternoon the firemen have been called out several times, day and night, answer- ing five regular alarms and several locals during forty-eight hours. Saturday afternoon an alarm was sound- ed for fire on J. M. Young’s building, No. 315 Gth street northwest, caused by the dropping of an electric light wire on the roof. Fortunately the fire was discovered before it had gained any headway, and No. 2 engine company was called out. Citizens, however, extinguished the flames before the engine arrived. Saturday night about 8:30 o'clock there was a fire in the cellar of H. W. Heine's Srocery store, on 6th street near Rhode Is- land avenue, caused by the explosion of gas. William Dieste, a soda water dealer, and William Golden, a colored boy in his employ, were in the cellar at the time. The colored boy was badly burned about the head and body, and was unconscious when found. His employer was burned about the arm. The boy was soon re- stored to consciousness and removed to the hospital, while his employer was sent to his home on the 7th street road. When the sad affair happened the boy was gather- ing empty bottles. “There was an early morning blage in Georgetown yesterday. It was about 5 o'clock when fire was discovered in the cooper shop and storehouse of J. C. R. near 32d and Water streets. The building is a stone structure and was bad- ly damaged by fire several months ago. | Happening as it did at so early an hour and under such peculiar circumstances, the police believe it was the work of an in- cendiary. The explosion of a coal oil lamp in house 131 L street Saturday night caused the turning fn of an alarm of fire from box 21. The damage amounted to but little, for the occupants of the house succeéded in keep- ing the fire under control until the arrival of the fire department. This morning about 1:30 o’clock members | of the fire department were called out for fire in_the leather store of John Iseman, 627 Pennsylvania avenue southeast. A pedestrian who happened to be passing at the time went to No. 8 engine company and gave the alarm. Before the members of the department arrived the flames had spread to the upper floor and also to the millinery store of Mrs. Ellen Hardenburg, in the adjoining house. The damage to both houses and stock is estimated at about $1,000, The loss 1s cov- ered by insurance. The members of Alfred Tinney’s family at No. 131 Cabbage alley, were aroused at an easly hour this morning when flames were seen issuing from the house. An alarm of fire brought out the firemen, but the flames were extinguished before their arrival. pasar EXCURSIONS, Twenty-five hundred people sought shade and breeze at River View yesterday, and they found it. Other than the usual attrac- tions of the resort, there was advertised to be a balloon ascension, which proved a strong magnet to hosts of sweltering Wash- ingtonians. Miss Ruby Deveau, who was billed to go up among the ciouds, was ill, and her brother, both natural and profes- sional, made the rise. The height to which he soared ts variously estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 feet. The bold weronaut cut loose, dropped hurriedly for perhaps 5vU Teet and then his parachute began to spread. He made the descent slowly and landed safely In Virginia. It was a great day with the Hiver View people; they raked in the sheckels by the bar'l and people got what they paid for. ‘The seventeenth anniversary of the Royal Arcanum will be celebrated by an excursion to Marshall Hall on the 27th instant. The Corcoran Cadets, escorted by the Mt. Pleas- ant Drum Corps, will give a dress parade and exhibition drill in the afternoon. A very choice musical and literary entertain- ment will be given in the evening, and upon the arrival of the evening boat it will be greeted with a grand pyrotechnic display. The elghth annual excursion of the Young Men's Catholic Club of Gonzaga College will be given to River View tomorrow. The club has always pro ipa for attractions on their excursions, and it is not likely that they will let this one lack in any way. The jt Samuel J. Pentz will leave at lu m., 2 and 6:40 p.m. The Interstate Democratic Association of the District of Columbia gave an excursion Marshall Hall today. The evening boat will leavé at 6:30 p.m. -_- > The Salem Lyceum. Yesterday afternoon witnessed the closing exercises of the Salem Lyceum. Although the weather was exceedingly warm, the church was well night packed, in anticipa- tion of an address by Congressman Mur- ray cf South Carolina. The Congressman having failed to appear, the speech of the evening was made by President Thomas L. Jones and 8. G. Thompson. The president spoke feelingly of his services, and said that now It was only left for him to render his stewardship, and it was for the lyceum to say Whether he had proven recreant to the trust and duties imposed upon him. His speech evoked many tears from his hearers, who were evidently touched by the president’s departure. The pastor, Rev. S. G.-Lambkins, in a telling speech,thanked the president for his patriotic and unfalter- ing services on behalf of the lyceum, which was a fitting testimontal for the high | esteem in which Mr. Jones is held by the nembers of the lyceum. The lyceum will give an excursion to Glymont on the 17th of July. —_ A Brave Deed. Special Officer Leonard Ferguson of 1239 New Jersey avenue southeast, shot a mad dog yesterday afternoon at the risk of his own life. Women and children were fleeing before the dog as he dashed down New Jersey ave- nue, with foam flying from his mouth. Ferguson, hearing the cry of “Mad dog!” grabbed his revolver, rushed into the street calling to the people to get into their front yards and shut the gates, which they did. By this time the dog was almest upon him. To get the dog out of the street Ferguson quickly turned into a vacant lot, the dog following him closely. Ferguson turned as soon as he was well into the lot and faced the infuriated animal, which sprang at him with open mouth, only to receive his death wound. Ferguson's gallant behavior was highly praised en the owner of the dog ap- proved his act. —__—_. Populists Organizing in Maryland. The populists are endeavoring to form a party organization in the sixth congres- sional district of Maryland, and the few of them who reside in Montgomery county held a meeting at Rockville Saturday night, having been compelled to forego their pur- pose to meet in the afternoon because of the counter attractions of a horse race and a base ball game. Addresses were made by T. H. Tibbles of Nebraska, H. E. Taube- neck, chairman of the national populist committee, and J. H. Turner, its secretary. The third party managers announce the in- tention of placing a congressional ticket in the field in the sixth district. —__.—_s Funeral of Ex-Senator Perkins. The funeral of the late ex-Senator Bishop W. Perkins of Kansas took place from the late residence of the deceased, on 16th street, Saturday afternoon, and was largely attended. The Rev. Teunls S. Hamlin Gon- ducted the burial service in the Presbyte- rian Chureh and paid a brief but reeling tribute to the exalted character of the dead jurist. A touching Incident of the occaston was the singing of “Asleep in Jesus,” which was given without accompaniment by Miss Dorothy Byrde Rogers. The remains wete buried in Rock Creek cemetery. BI in Equity. Samuel Ress, trading as Barber & Ross, has filed a bill in equity against John Cuok- sey and others to enforce a mechanic's lien of $1,455, less $224.62, on lots 158, 159, 190, 161 and 162, square 551. ——_ A Washington Boy's Success, At Mt. St. Joseph's College commence- ment at Baltimore, Md., Friday, June 22, the medal for excellence in studies in the class of rudiments was awarded to Master Robert Emmett White of Washington, D. C., he having made the highest average in ali of his studies. In addition, he received seven distinction: — A Sad Denth. The many friends here of Rev. Hugh Smith Carpenter, D.D., of Brooklyn, will be pained to learn of the death of his eld- son, Alexander Carpenter, a bright and ‘omising young lawyer, which occurred on Friday last, after a brief illness, THE OLOMBO COMMONWEALTH. Dr. Swartwout’s Plan to Avoid Civil War and Dire Disaster. An organization, known as the Liberal League, met yesterday for a discussion of | the Sunday question, Mr. C. C. Carter oc- cupying the chair, and Messrs. Steiner, Smart, McCreary, Case, Peckin and Swart- wout being present. The law,they declared, made Sunday a day of oppression, instead of one of rest and pleasure, and the law and the churches received anything but a complimentary recognition. Dr. Wm. H. von Swartwout, said to be the originator of @ new departure in politics, the only safe- guard for rich and poor, solution of the so- cial and financial problem, called attention to his scheme, the “Olombo One-Plank Plat- form,” to change the name of the United | States of America to the Olombo Common- wealth, Dr. Swartwout said that Mammon ruled the world, and explained that his mission | Was to settle the question of money. He| had, he said, discovered the great solution of all these problems, and next Tuesday evening at Typographical Temple would give it to the public. “If we were to sign a new Declaration of Independence that would change the name of the United States to the ‘No Money Commonwealth,’ we, would put into operation the intention of Jess Christ. Money was responsible for | every evil. Man was originally perfect, but a life of barter and trade makes him im- Perfect. We are on the eve of a great civil war, all on account of money. Nothing short of my system will save us. This sys- tem is what Jesus wanted to put in opera- tion and failed. But, He sald, the time is not yet ripe; I will come again.” a The Golden Crons, Capital Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, at its last meeting elected the following officers for the term ending December 31, 1804: Noble commander, Jas.

Knignts Frank E. Newton and Samuel N. Hilton, from the committee on the Nashville reso- lutions, reported in favor of a per capita tax to defray the expenses of the Supreme ‘ommandery, and the report was agreed jo. Mrs. Maftha J. Peabody of the same committee submitted her views on the sub- ject, and recommended expense assessments as the most equitable plan to provide funds for the purpose named. Both reports were feferred to the committee of the Grand Commandery on the subject. The officers- elect will be installed at the next meecing on July 14, by Deputy Grand Commander Jas. F. Kilgore. _o St. Augustine's Church, The League of the Sacred Heart was for- mally organized at St. Augustine's Church, 15th street, last evening, in the presence of & large congregation.

Eddy Somers, 1100 M street, after a long illness. | Mrs. Eddy had a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who sincerely mourn her death, for she was a women of the hign- est character, and of delightful personal- ity. All the students and graduates of Mount Vernon Seminary regarded her as a personal fiend, for while she was advanced 1% years, she never lost her 'nterest in young people. When they came back to Wash- ington they always made it a point to see her, and she invariably had a pleasant word for them.
