Scientifie Discoveries That Lighten Labor—A Weaver's Experience in —Carpets Where the Color * Bright as When New. Within the last few sears sclence hus been at im the matter of dyeing, and the results are fast diamond dyes for cotton—turkey red, pink, purple, orange, olive green, brown, ete. ‘These dyes make colors so fast that even wash- {ng in strong soapsuds will not start them. If ‘woman 13 sure to get the fast diamond dyes cotton when she wants to dye cotton, she Will be able to dye absolutely fast, non-fading colors that will stay until the goods are worn out. A practical dyer, writing in the Weavers’ Her- ald, says: “I used to dye with roots and barks, Dut after all my work (and it was a tedious job} I was rot sattfled, for the colors were homely find often faded. ‘At last I commenced to use @iamond dyes, and the provess is so siuple and easy that the work is a pleasure. I have used carpets made of rags dyed with diamond dyes three y ars, and the colors are still as bright as When new.” Many of the diamond dye fast cotton colors are 0 superior to other dye stuffs that they are used by dye everywhere, ¢' in the b mills and arge dye houses.

While opening a bottle of beer in O'Sul- livan’s store on Tuesday night Henry Mur- ray, one of the employes, had his hand very badly cut by the bursting of the bot- tle. It is said that the Peckham-Ryan boxing match, which was to have taken place be- fore the Henry Athletic Club on the night of the 26th instant, but which, owing to the recent manifesto of Mayor Strauss, cannot come off in this city, will take place at Steubener’s road house, near Washing- ton. Both men have posted forfeits for the “go” and are anxious for it to come off on the date set. Peckham is still training for the match. Messrs. Samuel G Brent and E. B. Tay- lor, representing several laborers, filed ‘a bill in chancery in the corporation court yesteri to foreclose the liens filed for labor claims against the Wellington Brick and Tile*Manufacturing Company.

The race, if arranged, * will take place either on Thanksgiving day or the Saturday following. As mentioned in The Star, the Catholic clergy representing the diocese of north- eastern Virginia held a conference in the rectory of St. Mary's Church, in this city, yesterday afternoon.

A number of interesting papers’ w read, among which were papers on “ Difference ficient Grace,” “How the Mass Is a erifice,” and “Tne Unity cf the Human Family.” The subjects of the sacrament, penance and Christian burial were dis- cussed at length. Cards are out for the marriage of Leigh W. Reid and Miss Elizabeth Griffith Hox- ton, to take place at St. Paul's Church, in this city, on the h instant. Only the immediate members of the family on each side will attend. Right Rey. A. M. Ran- dolph of the diocese of Virginia will per- form the ceremony. Mrs. Robert Dunlop of Petersburg is the guest of Mrs. J. H. D. Smoot on Prince street. A little child of Mr. Tish, residing on Queen street, took a dose of carbolic acid last night by mistske and was quite badly burned in ihe mouth and throat. Dr. Pur- vis was hastily summoned and rendered the necessary medical attention. It is not thought that the child was seriously hurt. W. H. Whalan, whose foot was mashed on the Washington and Ohio division of the Southern Railway Company some weeks ago, is now able to walk without his crutches and tt ts thought he will be well enough to go to work again shortly. The regular weekly meeting of Mechan- tes Lodge, Knights of Pythias, No. 3, will be held in Pythian Hall, on North’ Pitt street, tonight. The Baptists of this city have issued a ecard thanking the citizens generally for having taken care of the ministers and delegates who were here in attendance upon the Baptist General Association last week. Fifteen parcels of land have changed hands in Alexandria county within the past week or so. An interesting meeting of Alexandria Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was held last night in their rooms in Sarepta Hal! build- ing.

To the Editor of The Evening Sta: “Another Member of the Board of Trad, in his late communication in your ‘columns, while claiming to be in favor of a civil service founded upon “business principles,” yet strenuously advocates a strictly lim- ited term of appointment for civil servants. The nearest approach to permanence of tenure he will allow is that, in cases of special merit, a reappointment for an- other fixed term may be made. Is this the way he runs his own busi- ness? If he employs clerks or workmen does he hire then® for a fixed term? He knows that he doesn’t. With the power in the employer of discharge at any time for inetiiciency or unfaithfulness to his in- terests he knows that in all private busi- ness a good and faithful employe has no term of employment fixed. And he knows, too, that in private business experience is ene of the cardinal virtues—integrity, in- dustry and experience, with its resulting skill. To the thousands of civil servants of the government here employed it is a mat- ter of wonder to realize the hostility to their best interests of a few members of the board of trade and of the Washington Post. The Post’s platform is a fixed term of six years, for all government employes, and no more. It further advocates the in- fusion of one-third “new blood” every two years. That Is to say: One-third the force to be given the grand bounce biennially! s is the cheerful prospect we would ® to face, should the Post succeed in making enough converts to its views in the right quarter. Now, ts it not passing strange that a newspaper whose prosperity is largely built upon the patronage of the civil employes of the government should thus deliberately advocate a policy that would bring several thousand homes, hum- ble thougn they may be, to the auction block every two years? On second thoughts, however, the sacrifice of homes would not continue long. for the reason that the ne comers, warned by the fate of their pred cessors, aml knowing the limited period of their own employment, would not become home builders in this community. They would “board round,’ save every penny they could, and have no interest in the town in the meantime. ‘Another Member of the Board of Trade” 7 s vigorously that with his consent no office-hoiding-for-life class shall ever be created here. He wants no aristocrats lepartments, lording it over “mem- bers of the board of trade.” He is right! We give it up! Far be it from us to contend for a permanent tenure of office at the expense of the creation of aristocratic, privileged class in our ist. The feelings of our board of trade members ought not te be outraged by the! having to witness the passage along our streets of the gorgeously appointed vic- torla, with its banged-tail, high-stepping team, and,liveried groom and tiger, con- veying thé luxuriously clothed family of the twelve-hundred-dollar — government clerk tu the doors of the business houses of the members of the board of trade. And as the dang appears to be imminent, we, members of ‘this privileged class, subordl- nating individual Interests to those of the public, cease our contention and ac- cept the merry-go-round service of the Post, and “Another Member of the Board of Trade.” A CIVIL SERVANT. oo Mr. Spofford on “The World of Books.” Mr. A. R. Spofford, librarian of Congress, delivered an entertaining and instructive address on “The World of Books” at Car- roll Institute last night to a large au- dience. He deplored the fact that there is such a demand fn this country for low- class literature when there ts so much of good to be obtained. Mr. Spofford also re- ferred to the newspapers of the day, and expressed his regret that in many cian the journals pander to the morbid taste sensationalism to a lamentable degree. x said Washington newspapers are compara- tively free from this evil Between Efficacious Grace and | LATE SPORTING NEWS COLUMBIA WON EASILY. A Well-Played Game of Foot Ball With the M. A. C. The Columbia Athletic Club foot ball team defeated the eleven from the Mary- land Agricultural College in a pretty gume on Columbia field yesterday afternoon by @ score of 26 to 0, The agricultural boys showed up exceedingly well in the first half against their weightier opponents— the Columbia team averaging 176 pounds and the college 160. For the past week Janeway, the famous Princeton rush, has been coaching the C. A. C. team, and the good effect was manifested by the playing of the men, especially in the second half of the game. In the first part of the first kalf the C. A. C, team was rather slow in get- ting started, but moved with great quick- ness during the rest of the game. Gapen played at center during the first half and Wade at the same position in the second. Belknap also changed places at guard with Adam Johnson. Harrison was hurt again during the second haif, ard Duffy took his place; Bannon, acting tain in place of Compton, who had not 1e- covered from a recent injury, was also hurt, Strickler taking his place. In the second half the athletic club men had it all their own way, the students rot being able to do anything against superior weight. Byalternate end rushes and piunges through the center the leather was fore up to the M.A.C.'s goal, Leete finally mak- ing a good run around their left end for a touch down, Shields failed in his trial at the goal. The club men were forced hack for a distance and were then enabled, on downs, to again regain the distance lost. At this point the college boys made a stand, and Lewis was enakled to mike a fine run avound the end for ten yards, This playing, however, on the part of the boys did not last long, and Shields was soon after forced over for another touchdown, from which he kicked goal. The last touch- down of the game was made by the C. A. .’s full back, though he failed at the kick for goal, the final score being 26 to 0. On the part of the college, Lewis and Bannon did the best work, and for the C. A, C's Shields and Leete. The teams lined up as follow: CAC. Position. M. A.C. Leete. -Left end. Bannon.

Tatent Had It Their Own Way. The backers of favorites had it about all their own way at the St. Asaph track yes- terday, four favorites, a second choice and an outsider winning. The fields were small and the racing far from first-class, the Owlet, Will Elliott and McKee races being little less than gifts. R. Bradley's Panway ran in two races, and secured second place in both. The good thing of the day was Hermanita, who was backed down in the first race from 10 to 4 to 1, winning weli in hand by a neck. The other winners were Will Elliott, 1 to 2; McKee, 1 to 10; Black Hawk, 6 to 5; Sandowne, 2 to 1, and Owlet, 1 to 10. Highly Interesting Finishes. There was an unusually large attendance at the Alexander Island track yesterday, and the ten bookmakers weighing in did &@ correspondingly large business. ‘The fields were large and the finishes nighly interesting. Two favorites, two second choices and an outsider, Forenzo, at 1, won. The other winners were Venu. $ 2 to 1; Benvolio, 7 to 2; Pirate Chief, 4 to 5, and Camden, 5 to 2. Barnie’s Offer. Mr. William Barnie has proposed to Pres ident N. E. Young of the National Mase Ball League to submit the question of his suspension by the base ball league to the arbitration of three persons, the presidents of the league and association, and a third person, to be selected by those two. RECORDS. NEW CYCLIN eat Riding at Louisville by John ° S. Johnson, John S. Johnson yesterday secured the chrysanthemum bouquet of records at Louisville—the paced mile, flying start, and in doing so broke an intermediate recerd, the three-quarter-mile, The first trial was to be for the mile flying start, to beat 1.48 3-5, made by Harry Tyler at Waltham. Johnson did it in 1.47 3-5, just a secord under the record. He passed the three-quarter in 1.21 flat, of a second under Tyler’s record of “The fractional time, flying start, was: Quarter, third, half, two- thirds, LL . three-quarters, 1.21; mile, 1. Standing start: Quarter, =. .39 8-5; half, .57; two-thirds, 1.16 quarter, 1.25 1.5; mile, 1.52 15. Johnson also broke the two-thirds mile, standing start, record; the three-quarters, standing start, and the mile, standing start. He made the mile in the remarkable time of 1.521 the: previous record, made by him at Louisville last Monday, being 1.56 3-4. The time for were as follows: the Tw intermediate record: -thirds mile, 1.16 i-5 three-fourths, 1.251-5. Best previous re. cords, two-thirds mile, 1.18 three- fourths, 1.28 3-5. This is the first time that the standing and flying start records have been broken on the same day. Johnsen now holds all records from one- quarter of a mile up to and including five miles. Today he goes against the one-hour record, Columbia At Club Smoker. A great program has been arranged at the Columbia Athletic Club for the “smoker” which is to be given In the gymnasium Saturday evening. Last entertainment, which was one of st ever given in the house, will be excelled by the list of attractions that have been completed for this month. Among these who will participate are Cullen and Collins, a new banjo team that produces effects on that instrument to which Wash- ington is entirely unaccustomed. Hub Smith will be there, too, and his new song, “Miss Mary McMurphy’s Piano,” will be sung for the first time in public. Mr. MclIlveen, a new one here, will tell the boys all about “it” in his own picturesque Irish way, and enough others will be on hard to keep things going till a late hour. SCHAEFER ON HIS DEFEAT. Says Ives Played the Better Billiards and Won Fairly, Jacob Schaefer has returned to Chicago. He says the only reason for his defeat in New York last week was that Ives played the best billiards. He claimed that he was not feeling well, but he had no complaint to make. He thought it rather tough, how- ever, to be beaten with an average of 41, which is better than any previous winning average. He reports that Ives’ great run of 331 was made almost entirely on the lines and by position play, and that scarce- ly ten shots were made with the balls in the “anchor” position, All of Schaefer's large runs were made without its atd, and he thinks that under the present rules large runs are impossible unless made by “line” play and “open table” billiards. Another remarkable thing about the game is the fact that only one miscue was rade during the six nights’ play, and that was made by Schaefer the first night. He at- tributes this to the blue chalk, which, he thinks, far supertor to the German chalk, which has previously been used. He speaks highly of the new cushion, and @ table will be set up at a north side hall, where he will immediately go into practice for the Chicago match, which commences at Central Music Hall, December 3. —_—_—___ Class '91 High School. At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the executive committee of the class of ‘91 of the High School, held at Miss Lewis’ residence, in Eckington, arrangements were completed for a large dance and re- union of the class, to be held at Carroll Hall, Wednesday, December 26, The members of this committee have spared ni pains to make this reunion 4 success, an every indication at present points that way.

Father Roecofort ofli- ciated, Principal Nalley ‘To the Editor of Evening Star: In your report of the meeting of the Woodburn Citizens’ Association held the 19th instant I notice the assertion was made by some of the members regarding Brightwood school “that the school there would be plenty large enough if children of the state of Maryland did not crowd out children who are eatitled to the school privileges.” I am not willing to let this statement go unchallenged, No children have been “crowded out” of Brightwood school. There are on roll today in the building one hun- dred and eighty-six pupils who are bona fide residents*of the District of Columbia. We have in the four rooms but one hun- dred and seveny-five desks and in conse- quence it was found necessary to form two half-day schools in one department. This suburb is growing rapidly. Vine new houses are in course of erection ald the probability is that by the beginning of the next school session this number will have been doubled. I am confident that by the time the additional four reoms pro- vided for in the estimates can be made ready for occupancy enough new pupils Will present themselves to fill at least two. Finally, 1 would suggest that our friends of the Woodburn Citizens’ Asscciation not muke assertions without reliable data, and that they get their appropriation, if possi- ble, on the merits of their own case, and net base their arguinent upon any tm- aginary demerit as to the claim of Hright- Wood school.

To the Eslitor of The Evening Star: ‘There is a very-wide and strong senti- ment against the Seogpon of a contagious disease hospital ont the site selected by the Commissionerfy" as reported in last night's Star. Thei/fdtpital can never be built, if public interess are considered. I cannot imagine’ an‘official or set of off- cials who would be, sepsitive to an unjust public opinion, andithe fact that the Com- missioners conceafed fA contemplated act in which. the entire community was. in- terested under the dangerous cloak of sus- picious seerecy wypuld;seein to point very clearly to the facthat ( y feared a just expression of the boot . There have been senseless acts performed from time to time by those whe have had the direction of our municipal affairs, but it is difficult to conceive of one sp completely dev: of judgment as this tefent act of the Com- missioners. ‘The idea of selecting a small tract of land (probably only sufficiently large to accommodate the building that it is contemplated to erect) in a valuable and rapidly improving section of what is now practically known as the city is prepos- terous. The owner of every foot of ground for squares around this site is damaged in proportion as public opinion will regard the hospital a nuisance. It will be vain for the Commissioners and the health offl- cer to make assurances that there is abso- lutely no danger to be feared from prox- imity to a contagious disease hospital; gen- eral sentiment is to the contrary, and tt is this sentiment that fixes values and esti- mates damages. The proper thing to do in the selection of a site for an institu- tion of this sort is so palpable that it ought to admit of no question and certainly re- quires no discussion. Their act in this case is high-handed and outrageous, and I say so without the least “personal property in- terest in Uae matter whatever. PRUDENCE, ———— Epworth League Mass Meeting. According to previous announcements, the Epworth League mass meeting of the Washington district, Washington confer: ence, met at Central M. E. Church at 7:30 o'clock last evening, Rev. Wm.

In Judge Kimball's court this morning there was a well-dressed man in the dock.

I saw him stop some ladies on the street and ask them where he was at and then curse them.” “Five dollars or fifteen days, court. Charles F.

All cattle shipped, particularly at this time of year, are subject to exposure at sea, and they frequently contract pneumonia during the voyage. Occasionally the forcign offi- cials think they have discovered pleuro- pneumonia, but, on investigation, the case is proved to be ordinary pneumonia, which is very different from pleuro-pneumonia, and not at all dangerous, Doubtless this will turn out to be a case of that sort.” pettaneetes "s Up the Zaragosn. ‘The Mexican warship Zaragosa, which is in the dry dock at San Francisco undergoing repairs, will be sent south as soon as possible to look out for Mexico’s interest on the western coast in case of war with Guatemala.

Church held its opening meeting in the auditorium of that church Tuesday night. The announcement that Frederick Douglass would deliver an address upon the subject, he Origin, txistence and History of Slavery,” had the effect of attracting an audience which tilled the auditorium. Mr. Douglass discussed the subject of the origin of slavery, and claimed that the Constitution entedated the Christian era. He spoke of the different races who had felt the baneful effects of slavery, and said that the Anglo-Saxon race—the boast- ed race of the world’s civilization—at one time wore about its neck the yoke of slavery. Other races who had been Slaves were also discussed. Passing from remote periods, he talked of the history of American slavery. He said that no slavery had been more bitter or more abominabie than existed here. A rising vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Douxlass for the address. After the gn- nouncement of the program for the next meeting, an adjournment followed. At the ext Tuesday even- will deliver an ad- ing Dr. dress, e on the Docking of His Horses Tails. announ-ement that ll the horses in dent Clevelant’s siubles have had tails docked has caused considerable the officers of the ety jon of Crucity to Animals Pe se.

Mr. Haynes ye what he dee Was engaged in reading a letter he had just from the Princess of Wales, com- the good work done by sived mending him for the soviety. When he was asked if he had heard that President Cleveland had caused the tails cf the White House horses to be docked, Mr. Hayes dropped the letter and ex Claimed, with considerable surprise: “It can’t be possible!” Whenassured that the report came from a good source, Mr. Haynes said: “Then the President shall be punished! He is just this country and if it is true that instrurentel in having the tails of the White House horses ducked 1 shall take immediate steps to see that he is duly punished. I must say, though, that iam not so much surprised. “A President of the United States who finds great pleasure in the shooting of squirrels is quite capable ‘of the inhuman- ity of having his horses’ tails docked. But it he has done so I shall make it my busi- ness to see that justice is meted out to him. The docking of horses’ tails is against the law of the District of Columbia, aud numbers of people have been punished for violating it. Mr.. Haynes said he wovld communicate with the president of the Washington Hu- mane Society, and if evidence could be se- cured would ‘endeavor to have President Cleveland fined. She who Runs may read.
