Libbey & Co. -Advt MONSIGNOR _McMAHON Pope Leo Honors the Generous Benefactor of the University. The Founder of the Hall of Philoso- phy is Created a Prelate of the Holy See. An event of unusual interest to Catho- Mes, occurred yesterday afternoon at the Catholic University near this city, when Archbishop Satolli, on behalf of Pope Leo, conferred upon the Rev. James Mc- Mahon of the university an appointment #8 @ prelate of the holy see, with the title of monsignor. The papal legate was ac- companied by his secretary, Monsignor Papi, and the ceremony was conducted in the presence of Bishop Keane, Dr. O’Gor- man and many of the professors. The venerable priest was much overcome at the recognition, and was especially affected by the letter from the pope which accom- panied the distinction conferred upon him. The epistle stated that the pope recognized whatever was done for the universty in the light of a personal favor to himself and appreciated it as such and expressed the hope that the recognition of Father MeMahon’s services in this direction might encourage others to do likewise. Father McMahon is one of the oldest priests In this country, being eighty years of age, and having taken his vows nearly fifty years. He is extremely wealthy, his present fortune being estimated at a mil- lion doilars, and has been warmly inter- ested in the university ever since its con- ception, having resided there from the time of its opening. He was pastor of a church in New York before coming to the District. This gift to the university which the pope has so signally recognized is the building which is to be known as the McMahon Hall of Philosophy. With the exception of ornamental carving the ex- terior of the structure is finished, while only the flooring and wainscoting remain to be completed on the inside. It is a massive and imposing edifice, bullt of Maryland granite, with carved trim- mings of the same stone. The center is four stories and the side wings three stor- ies in height, the length of the building being 250 feet and its depth 100. The cost will be between $350,000 and $400,000. Bishop Keane talked freely about pis re- cent interviews with Pope Leo and said that the papal desire for harmony between democracy and science is fully shown in America Ly the papal legation and the tatholic University. The lesation signifies nis desire for the union of the church with the democracy of the future, and the uni- versity his desire for the combination of the chureh and science; the two, he believes, will advance together. It is these two pro- jects, the appointment of Archbishop Sa- tolli and the establishment of the univer- sity, which he regards as the chief glories of his pontificate. In Archbishop Satolli he believes he has found a man who has in him the same principles embodied as those of the pope himself, and that the ad- vanced ideas of Leo will be carried in- to execution by the papal ablegate. The legation was established with a view of showing the interest of the pope in the chureh in this country and as an honor to it. It is not, as has been represented, that the ablegate is to take the place of the pope in this country, but is the estab- lishment of a court of appeals for Ameri- ca, of which the ablegate shall be the chief justice. There is intended no conflict with the authority of the bishops, and the court will dea! with affairs of national impor- tance. Archbishop Satolli ha$ the power to associate with him In trying cases any bishops he pleases: At present his offices are largely those of mediation, and bishops, priests and other parties have the right to carry a case to Rome. Bishop Keane says the pope believes in order and discipline, and that while no authoritative statement of plans can be wade, yet the general purposes of the pope are to fully cover, in a coming encyclical letter, a proper enlargement of the dignity of the American ablegate. Concerning the permanency of Monsignor Satolli in America, Bishop Keane says the pope is thoroughly pleased with the abie- gate’s work here, as he shares in every particular the personal views of the pope on the great church and national questions. His recall would only be in order to confer added dignities on him, and his successor would share Monsignor Satolli’s views in every particular on the questions of policy. It would be so difficult, however, for an- other ablegate to be chosen who so nearly reflects Pope Leo’s desires that Bishop Keane regards Monsignor Satolli as a per- manency. Bishop Keane was asked if the raising of the dignity and authority of Monsignor Satolli's mission was likely to be brought about by creating the ablegate a cardinal, and replied that it wa; settled beyond ques- tion that Monsignor Satolli will be made a cardinal. Bishop Keane said that he had read with great regret an article by Bishop Spalding in the current North American Review as- cribing the growth of the A. P. A. move- ment to the discontent over the appoint- ment of Monsignor Satolli as ablegate in this country. The bishop said he had in- formed the pope in response to inquiries that the A. P. A. movement was a passing ion of bigotry, and was no longer Under these circumstances Bishop Spalding’s article was unfortunate and ill- timed, and would be painful to Monsignor Satolli. Cardinal Gibbons had expressed to the bishop similar regret at the statements. Bishop Keane says the parochial school question is closed at Rome, and Archbishop ‘Ireland's position has been thoroughly upheld. Regarding the university Bishop Keane said: The pope expressed himself as delighted with the divinity teaching which was car- ried on during the past year, but is espe- clally pleased that the university will be able to open McMahon Hall a year from pext October, as this means the grouping together of natural and supernatural learn- ing. Bishop Keane said the pope listened with elcse attention to the details of the organi- zation of the new faculty and of the con- templated school of law and the pursuance of sociological studies in the new hall. While Bishop Keane was in Europe he made some selections for the new faculty and ap- proached others on the subject. The au- thorities have no doubt of their ability to open the hall at the appointed time, but there is much work to be done in the way of raising money to endow professorships. Bishop Keane is highly encouraged, how- ever, as he believes the honor conferred upon Father McMahon in recognition of his gift aud the statement by Pope Leo that "ke considered what was done for the university to be a personal favor will have a stimulating effect. The University to Open Tomorrow. The Catholic University of America will reopen for the return of students tomor- row. The first days of the new year will be spent in spiritual retreat, beginning ‘Tuesday evening and closing Sunday morn- ing. The exercises will be conducted by the passionist father, Fidelis Kent Stone. On Monday, October 1, th2 opening will take place, preceded by mass, offered up in the presence of the faculty and students, by the rector, Bishop J. J. Keane, followed by an address by the rector, introducing the course of studies to be pursued by students during the coming year. The theological branches at present taught in the univer- sity are divided into four sections—biblical sciences, dogmatic and philosophical sci- » moral sciences, history and patrol- Under these headings are also in- certain departments of science, which, though they properly belong to the faculty of philosophy, are of advantage to the students of theolegy. Besides the reg- ular ccurses by the professors of the facul- ty, other supplementary courses will be given on ascetic theology, homiletics and English literature. Every student is obliged to follow regularly at least two courses and to pass an examination on them at the end | of the year. | The prospects are that the number of students will be greatly increased this term. The rector returned yesterday from his European vacation, well rested in mind and body. Drs. Hyvernat, Schroeder and Quinn have already returned, and other professors who have summered in Europe are now on the way home. Rev. Father Hogan is now president of St.John's Theological Seminary in Brighton, rear Boston. He has been replaced by Rev. Father Dumont. Mrs. Whitford of Baltimore has lately | made an endowment for a new professorial chair, and a scholarship has been given by Miss Winefred Martin, formerly of Cali- fornia, now of Baltimore. The chapel, par- lors and, indeed, the whole house has been most successfully touched up during the va- cation, and the building now looks new and beautiful in rich wood finish. MOORE SHOE PALACE “OPENING.” A year ago today Mr. A. M. Moore open- ed a shoe store at $10 7th street, and as the shoe trade was pretty well represented in Washington, a very few looked for any- thing out of the ordinary, or thought the store would ever amount to anything. It was not long before this impression was dispelled. The failure of the Moran shoe store gave Mr. Moore just the chance he wanted to show the public that he was no ordinary shoe man. His success with this anc! other bankrupt stocks is yet fresh in ths minds of the public. Today Mr. Moore is having his first anniversary open- ing, and his establishment has been throng- ed all day. Rare palms and plants were in profusion, and the effect under the soft glare of the electric lights was decidedly attractive. Bouquets of choice cut flowers were distributed to the -lady visitors, and a luncheon of coffee, sandwiches and ice cream w served to all on the second The popularity of Mr. Moore's es- tablishment was made manifest by the throng which surged through the store all day. Mr. Moore intends giving up the store to the young people this evening, af- ter 9 o’clock, when dancing will be the or- der. Mr. Moore, who is yet quite a young man, is a firm believer in advertising and has won his success by energy and enter- prise. ———— METHODIST PASTORS.

Mocre; se>mon by the presiding elder of the district, Luther B, Wilson. The ser- vices on Tuesday will be as follows: Nine a.m., devotional services, Watson C children’s class, J. M. Slarrow and Wm.

Gibson, Protection for Tenleytown, To the Editor of The Evening Star: For a temporary and econemical protec- tion against fire tor Tenleytown, I think the suggestion of Dr. Sheckels, as con- tained in The Star of the 20th instant, a good one, But instead of having the truck and engine sidetracked somewhere near the terminus of the electric car line, I think the power house being midway,would be the place, if an arrangement could be made with the railroad company to store the engine and truck there. 1t could be at- tached te a car quickly and be run either to Tealeytown or toward Georgetown. The truck could be constructed so as to make easy to run the engine off by hand and be conveyed, if need be, to Fort Reno, or to dwellings near by. There would be no need of regular firemen, as there would be a number about the fire ready and willing to work. Tenleytown being mostly built up along Wisconsin avenue, the main thor- oughfare, which runs nortnwesterly, a se- vere wind from that direction—and from that direction the wind blows whenever the weather is fair—would make a fire in the extreme northern end of the place ex- tremely dangerous. GEO, C. W. M. ne a Want the Headquarters in Washing- ton. Numercus local members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are preparing to attend the seventh biennial meeting of the National Council, which will be held from October 2 to October 6 in Boston. A strong effort will be made at that time to have the headquarters of the order removed to Washington from their present location in Philadelphia, and in order to assist this object, the National Council will be ten- dered the use of the building recently erect- ed by the local lodges on M street north- west above 16th. a A Sait for Damages. The Washington and Georgetown Rail- road Company has been made the defendant in a suit filed today by George S. Newton, who claims $10,000 damages. December 22, 1892, the plaintiff alleges, while alighting trom one of the company’s cars at 7th and D streets, he was thrown to the ground by the car being suddenly and carelessly start- ed. He states that his leg was broken just above the ankle, and that he was otherwise greatly injured, being permanently injured in the leg and having both hands paralyzed. —_——— P Mrs. Riker Wants a Divorce. A petition for divorce has been filed by Dolly J. against Edward C. Riker. The complainant states that they were married at Reading, Pa., April 24, 1884, and iat one child, a boy, now aged nine, was born to them. They lived together until May 1, 1892, when the petitioner charges that she was willfully deserted and abandoned by her husband, who is now traveling in New england. Mrs. Riker prays that she may be given the custody of the child. >_— Must Be a Fall Board. In a decision rendered to the District Cemmissicners, Mr. S. T. Thomas, attorney for the District of Columbia, says that the act of Congress regulating steam engineer- ing in the District provides that applicants for license as steam enginees shall submit to an examination before an examining board, con-posed of the boiler inspector of the Dis- trict and two pract gineers, to be ap- pointed by the Commissioners. There is no provision for anything less than a full board. The gxamining board being com- pcsed of the boiler inspector of the District and two practical engineers, it results that the constituent elements of the board must be present at the examination. Sac SS Want a Bricklayer Appointed. A communication has been received by the Commissicners from the Federation of La- ber, asking the appointment of a practical bricklayer on the staff of the inspector of buildings.

Babesek, a Telegrapher, Arrested asi Being Implicated. Detectives Quisian and Boardman, who succeeded in effecting the capture of the al- leged bicycle thieves and wire tappers in Parkersburg, W.sVa., last week, were satis- fied that there was a third pereon in the party. Fred J. @wens and Walter Geddis, the men arrested; know nothing about telegraphy, and without. an operator they, of course, could thave done nothing towards receiving the rage mews over the wire and then placing mamey on the winners. Being certain that these was a telegraph operator in the alleged eonspiracy, they conducted the investigation with a view to ascertain- ing his identity. They finally succeeded in securing evidence which led them to the belief that Palmer B, Babcock was the operator, and they were satisfied that he was in the boat at the Long bridge when the tapping of the wire was attempted. Babcock was captured at his home, 434 K street northwest, and he denied the charge. It is said that one of the other men will give away the whole scheme. To- day Lawyer Ca-rington appeared for the defendant, Babcock, and gave bond in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance. A warrant, charging the trio with con- spiracy, will be sworn out by the officers. Owens was tried today on the charge of stealing a bicycle, and the court held him in $1,000 security for the grand jury. —- —_ AMUSEMENTS, The National Lyceum Course—A short time ago the National Lyceum course of concerts and lectures was announced—a course of ten entertainments to be given during the coming winter at popular prices. At that time no program was named, though the managers of the entertainments gave assurance that there would be only first-class amusements. Since the first an- rouncement a list of nearly three times the length of the proposed program has been made, and the readers of The Star were asked Saturday to express their preferences among the entertainments. The cbject in making up this long list was to give the Washington public a chance to indicate its choice in the making of the program. All the attractions named are good, but some may be more popular than others. It is the intention of the managers of the National Lyceum bureau to make up a program as nearly as possible in accordance with the wishes of the subscribers to the concerts and lectures. Among the lecturers named are Walter Damrosch, who has made a great hit in New York and Philadelphia with his lecture explanatory of the Wagner music drama; Prof. DeMotte, who gives an ittustrated scientific lecture; Prof. Babcock, who lectures on the applications of pho- tography; Prof. Ragan, who is described as Stoddard’s only rival in the description of foreign lands, and the musical attractions include the New York Philharmonte Club, probably the best concert combination of its class in America; the Victor Herbert Quintet Club, the Franz Wilszek Concert Company, the Lineff Russian Choir, which sang in the Music Halli at the worid’s fair for a long season; Ollie Torbett, the well- known woman violin player, and her com- pany; and a great many other excellent musical combinations. The course will be- gin about the middle of November or the Ist ef December and will continue at inter- vals of two weeks. Care will be taken that none of the concerts shall occur on the meeting night of any local societies or on Thursday night, which is prayer meeting night among the:churches. a ‘The Columbian University “Mask and Wilg Clab.” It may be stated that this season will wit- ness the production sof an “opera burlesque” with male and female characters imper- sonated by college men. The students at Washington have never before seemed in- terested in the kind of recreation which has been dominant in universities of many other cities, but since the organization last sum- mer of the Glee Club at the Columbian University the enthusiasm has been such as to warrant the expansion of the original idea, so as to admit to membership the large number of students interested, who do thot sing. .The-erganization, which.4s to be in the nature ‘of a ‘““Mask'and Wig Club,” owes .its very promising future outlook to the untiring efforts of Messrs. Frank H. Hitcheock, 8. Hazen Bond and Walter R. Hensey, who have worked diligently to pro- mote interest, and to the fraternity of “Phi Delta Phi,” where the idea originated. A meeting has been called for Friday even- ing, September 28, at 7:30 o'clock, at the unive: sity. —_—_—> Auction Sale of furniture at 1717 Corcoran street by Sloan & Co. tomorrow at 10 a. m.

POSSESS SEHOSETOOESED OOOO POCPPOOOOOS: é ECKINGTON’S NEW PRESIDENT. Work to Begin on the Electric Road Between Washington and Bal ore. The board of directors of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company, at @ meeting held Saturday, elected Mr. David Newbold president, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation some months ago of the former president, Mr. Munickhuysen. Mr. Newbold is connected with many other street railway interests, being vice presi- dent of the Baltimore Traction Company, as well as of the Inter-City Company, that was formed for the purpose of, and is about to commence, the laying of an electric road between this city and Baltimore. Mr. New- bold’s election does not indicate any new policy on the pert of the road. The illness of Mr. Munickhuysen necessitated his re- tirement, and Mr. Newbold was elected to fill the vacancy and continue the adminis- tration of affairs heretofore. The Inter-City Company has received the reports of the surveyors who have been at work for seve-al months past, and it is stated that the work of construction will be commenced in October on that portion of the road lying between Washington and Riverdale. The route agreed upon pro- vides that the road will approach Washing- toa via Hyattsville, through Riverdale, com- ing around Riverdale Park Circle to the east of the Baltimore and Washington turn- pike; crossing the turnpike, it enters the grounds of Mr. Frank Gramlich; thence in a southwesterly direction through the Young property, and thence through the eastern portion of F. H. Smith's place, striking the Wine and Johnson subdivis- fons about 100 feet from Smith's place; thence down the ravine on the southern ine of the Wine and Johnson subdivision and through the base ball grounds and across Holliday’s subdivision to connect with the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railway at Rhode Island avenue.
