The Chevy Chase hunters and hounds turned out on Saturday for the first time this season to once more follow the scent of the anise seed. The hare’s trail lead westward from the club house, througn the country about Bethesda Park, and gave opportunity for fine jumps and plucky rid- ing. No accident of note happened. On the return to the starting point, the mem- bers and their friends enjoyed a finely spread supper, and then a dance in the rew building ‘erected expressly for danc- ing purposes in the Chevy Chase grounds. Revival Services. ‘The revival at the Congress Street M. P. Church closed last night, after a fruit- ful session. Jimmie Coox, the boy preach- er, lead the services. He railed against theaters and dancing, and proclaimed in loud ‘tones that a sociable drink would open the gates of hell. The Rev. Mr. Graham followed with re- marks, in which he urged that the feeling which had been aroused in the cause of religion be kept warm and earnest. Jimmie Cook will shortiy enter college. His present evangelistic work is being pur- sued in order to raise sufficient funds to defray his expenses. These revivals at the Congress Street Church have not been a source of revenue to the congregation, but, on the contrary, have been a steady expense. Benefits, though, have been derived indirectly, the interest in the church and the church's cause having been brought to a very high int. a Notes. Mrs. Joha C.

NOT A SUNSHINY DAY FOR THE BRIDE Enthusiasm Displayed by the Rus- sians. A MAGNIFICENT SCENE ST. PETERSBURG, November 26.—Be- fore 7 o'clock this morning large crowds of people were assembled on the Newsky Prospect in order to secure places along the route of the royal wedding procession. From the Anitchkoff Palace to the Winter ’Palace the whole avenue was lined with troops. The morning broke dull and cold, but dry. Before long the whole front of the route was black with people. There “was not an inch of space to spare along the Grand Morskaija Prospect and on the square in front of the Winter Palace. The correspondent of the Associated Press secured a position midway between the two palaces, from which he was able to obtain a good view of the procession behind windows which, as usual in winter, were fastened in an air-tight manner, From this point of vantage could be seen thou- sands of faces, eager to greet the czar und his bride. The large majority of the stores were closed, and in their windows were prominently displayed colored portraits of the czar and Princess Alix. At 11:15 a.m. in the distance was sud- denly heard the grand swelling strains of the ‘national anthem, ard all along the route the multitudes uncovered in ent pation of the approach of the bridal party. Soon after there appeared an open state carriage ¢ a by four white horses. In this vehicie wore the czar and his brother, Grand Duke Michael. They both wore the uniform of bussars of the guard, and were greeted with a vociferous outhurst of cheering, which was renéWwed again and egain. ‘The czar’s equipage was preceded and also followed by detachments of chevaliers des gardes and hezzars and lancers of tie guard, all in brilliant gala uniforns, Then came a superb landav, also drawn hy four white horses, in which was Prin- cess Alix ard the czarina. They received, if possible, even a mo: hearty popuiar greeting than the czar himself. Handker- ciiefs and hats were waved in the air, and the most intense enthusiasm prevailed. After the carriage of the princess and the czarina followed a long train of carrizges with the royal guests, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princess Irene of Prussia, the Grand Duchess Sergius and other prominent members of the imperial family, as well as all the wedding guest: Military bands were stationed at various points along the route between the two Places, and they each struck up the na- tional anthem as the cortege approached. The national hymn was thus sounded in the ears of the imperial party along the entire route. ‘The wedding procession entered the Win- ter Palace at 1:15 p. m., where so soon as possible atterward were assembled all those who had been invited to be present at the wedding. The Ceremon At 1:80 p.m, the guns from the fortress announced that Czar Nicholas II was mar- ried to Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt. ‘The wedding procession was then re- formed, and the guests re-entered their carriages. are ibe cer and ezarina returned to the Anitchkoff Palace in the same landau amid unbounded enthusiasm of the immense crowds of people gathered to greet them. The czar graciously saluted the crowds and the czarina bowed repeatedly. ‘On reaching the Cathedral of Krzin there was a remarkable spectacle. There was literally a sea of heads extending up the Newsky Prospect, and the multitudes were so densely packed that the troops had the greatest difficulty in preserving a passage for the wedding procession. The bells in all the churches were merri- ly pealing the wedding chimes, and above all could be heard the distant booming of cannon from the fortress and other places. The crowds had awaited for hours with incredible patience, which was converted into enthusiastic cheering as the first de- tachment of cavalry, escorting the dowascr czarina, dashed by and announced the re- turn of the imperial party. The dowager czarina pushed on aheud to the Anitchkolf Palace, in order to be able to be the first to greet the newly married couple on their arrival there. The ordinary theaters today received permission to recommence their perform- ances. According to current reports the czar has caused consternation among the officers of his household by leaving the palace unat- tended and walking through the streets in a military mantle or walking arm in arm with the first officer who recognizes him. On Saturday the czar went for a walk with Princess Alix, entered a glove store in front of the Anitchkoft Palace and made several purchases. On leaving his majesty was recognized by the people and loudiy cheered. His majesty has also received the minis- ters very graciously. When M. De Gier the minister of foreign affairs, tendered his resignation the czar insisted that he hoped they would work together for a long time yet. To this M. De Giers replied t, your look at my feet. They cannot car- Whereupon the czar replied: “I do not only want your head.” Déseribing Armenia's Troubl CONSTANTINOPLE, November 26.—The recent edict calling for the seizure at the frontier of foreign newspapers containing accounts of the Armenian massacres pro- hibits the entry forever of any American newspaper into Turkey, This action on the Mrs. A.

Norighian ex, surprise that the edict should have qese scope as to be a permanent exclusiof to the American press, and he thinks the report may prove overdrawn in this respect. There is a press censorship in Turkey, he says, similar to that conducted jn most Euro- pean countries. A Drege bureau is main- tained by the government the purpose of reading all papers &nd seeing that the press laws are observed. There are daily papers at Constantingple and elsewhere through ‘Turkey, conducted in accordance with the press laws, which dre designed to give the government proper protection against internal assaults. Mr. Norighian says such laws and censorship are com- mon throughout urope,, and are in marked contrast with the lack of super- vision and censorship in the United States. FOUND WITH THROAT CUT. Another London Murder of “Jack the Ripper” Order. LONDON, November 26.—A comely wo- man of the unfortunate class, about thirty years of age, was found dead in a fre- quented thoroughfare, Holland Villas road, Kensington, at about midnight. Her throat was cut from ear to ear, and some of the newspapers here intimate that it is another crime of the “Jack the Ripper’ order. AMERICA’S CUP RACE. No Differences of Opinion Between Dunraven and Watson. LONDON, November 26.—Up to today Lord Dunraven had not received the reply of the America’s cup committee ‘to his propositions in regard to the next inter- national yacht race. ‘There is no foundation for the story of differences of opinion between Lord Dun- raven and Mr. Watson as to whether the cup challenger shall be keel or centerboard. Both these gentlemen are working in har- mény. When Lord Dunraven received Mr. H. Maitland Kersey’s telegram last week outlining the committee's decision he in- formed Mr. Watson of its contents in a letter which conveyed the impression that all obstacles to the challenge were removed and asking him to bring the final plans for the new cup challenger to a conference which will be held this week. The reply of the America’s cup commit- tee to Lord Dunraven's proposals has given satisfaction to the parties interested and the Marblehead course will not be insisted upon, MY formal challenge for the America’s cup will now be sent, and the building of Lord Dunraven’s new yacht will be pro- ceeded with immediately. Owing to the cup committee's concession in regard to the name of the challenger, a bout which W. Fife is building for Mr. Walker may be the cup challenger. (This concession practically allows a yacht other than the one named in the challenge to race for the cup. This will al- low England to send her best yacht.) There is no doubt that Lord Dunraven's new yacht will be a keel boat. Lord Dun- raven this afternoon telegraphed a strong denial that there has ever ‘been any differ- nce of opinion between the syndicate which he represents and Mr. George L. Watson, BRE EN BE THE THIRD W It Begins Today at the Pure Food Show. |; The second week of the unprecedentedly successful existence of the [pure food ex- position in Convention: Hall reached an end on Saturday evening last.

She will make use of the following. recipe: Scald one cup of milk, turn it into a bowl, add one teaspoonful of sugar, salt and ‘shortening; stir until the salt and sugar ure dissolved and the butter melted; then add one cup of water. Dissolve half a yeast cake in half a cup of lukewarm water and when the milk in the bow! is lukewarm add the yeast and surticient flour (about three and a half cups) to make | a batter which will pour thickly from a spoon; beat until the batter is light and smooth and full of bubbles. ‘this should be done at night and morning; it should then be light and covered with bubbles on top. Ada enough flour to make a soft dough, and knead, ising as little flour as possible, until the dough does not stick to the hands and is soft and velvety to the touch, Let it rise again until it is dou- ble its bulk. When the dough is light enough it should come away from the bowl without sticking, Mold as quickly and as ligntly as possible, without knead- ing again into loaves. Put in greased bread Uns, individual ones preferred, and let rise again until Hight. it should rise abcut thirty minutes this last time, then bake in a moderate oven for forty-tive minutes, ‘The third and final week of the exposi- tion begins today with a nfimber of new features. Music 1s to be furnished by the band of the sixth cavairy from Fort Myer. The show will remain closed Thanksgiving day until 7:30 o'clock in the evening. oe E LEXOW INVESTIGATION. Important Questions to Be Settled When the Commitice Meets. v When the Lexow committee resumes its investigation of New York's city govern- ment two important questions are to be settled, says a New York letter. One is whether Father Ducey will cease his at- tendance upon the meetings, as he has been commanded to do by Archbishop Corrigan, under a partial threat, and whether the management of tne police department by Superintendent Thomas Byrnes is to be the subject of senatorial inquiry. Both of these are matters of no little importance. Father Ducey fs a priest of great popularity. His friends say he will resume his old place in the court room when the committee recon- venes, having done nothing to warrant the command from Archbishop Corrigan. And yet it Is certain that if Father Ducey con- tinues to attend the meetings, after recetv- ing a command from the archbishop he will be called to Rome. It is thought that Superintendent Byrnes may be put on the griddle before the com- mittee proceeds much further. Hints have een thrown out from time to time by the ‘Rey. Dr. Parkhurst that Byrnes should be askeg questions, and that the public should know whether or not the hedd of the most corrupt police department in the country is innocent of the knowledge of wrong on the part of his subordinates. Jt is believed that Byrnes is a mean of considerable wealth, and this of itsclf causes people to helieve that the superintendent should be called, The spectacle of the head of the uniformed police of Gotham telling the Sen- ate committee how he has accumulated wealth would at least be interesting, and that is what is promised by the committee. 400 Dinners for the Poor. The committee in charge of the arrange- ments for the Thanksgiving distribution of the Central Union Mission will be in ses- sion all day tomorrow at the mission build- ing, on Louisiana avenue near 7th strect, for the purpose of receiving supplies and money. It is proposed to send out the ma- terial for the ‘Thanksgiving dinner to the families of the poor on the list of the com- mittee on Wednesday, and for this reason the prelimin: work of preparing the baskets wi y be done temorrow. It is the desire of the committee that their friends and the charitably inclined “who wish to aid the mission in this praise- worthy work will send in their contri tions tomorrow. It is contemplated that least 700 families will be supplied with a Thanksgiving dinner through the medium of the mission. In addition a lunch will be served at the rooms of the mission during Thanksgiving day. A postal card sent to the rooins of the mission giving the ad- dress of those who have contributions will enable the committee to send for them, in case the donors have no other means of forwarding their gifts, ee CARE OF CHILDREN The Superintendent of Charities and the Board of Guardians, ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE DISCUSSION Much of the Board's Report is Only of Historic Interest. ACTION OF CONGRESS The report of Mr. Jchn Tracey, the super- intendent of charities, an abstract of which appears in another cclumn, gives consid- erable space to a discussion of the ques- ticns relating to the character and scope of the work of the board cf children’s guardizns. As an introduction he discusses the question of state aid for charitable and correctional endeavor, as compared with exclusive state control of benevolent and reformatory enterprise and state own- ership of all property devoted to it. He quotes the opinion of a number of writers, both in this country and abroad, and refers to the debates in the recent constitutional convention cf New York. He says the plan adopted by that body is strikingly like the system of private semi-official and official co-operation in works of benefaction es- tablished by United States law in the Dis- trict. “It was found,” the report states, “that to resort to the plan of exclusive state ownership and control of institutions for the care of those necessarily dependent upon public support would add nearly $5,- 000,000 to the annual burdens of the tax- payers, and would compel the payment of an annual per capita cost for those trans- ferred to official care of $196.77 instead of the present outlay of $82.11 per capita. The demonstrations of these facts by Meyer Stern, Frederic R, Coudert and Col. George Bliss were finally. accepted as con- clusive. It is because proposiuons for the adoption for this District of changes like to those attempted in New York have re- cently been seriously and publicly proposed that it becomes the duty of the superin- tendent of charities to report on this sub- ject and to say that a plan of revolutionary reorganization that weuld have doubled empire state outlays for charities and cor- recticn would have proportionately similar results in Washington and its neighbor- hood. Inspection of the statistics of rela- tive public cost embraced in this report will demonstrate the accurac; ft thi statement. J Relics Aid by Private Means. ‘Those unable to care for themselves must be cared for by the community. ‘what is an end government must secure for its own protection and for the general welfare. It is for the interest of all that the work of care and cure should be con- ducted in the best practicable manner, and at the lowest attainable public cost. Where individual genercsity has founded or sus- tains suitabie and adequate establishments for literary, industrial, or technical teach- ing, for sheltering the helpless, curing the sick or heaiing the injured, to unnecessarily duplicate those facilities would be waste- Tul administration, ayainst which It is the particular province o: this ollice to warn and to guard. “Where the popular interest can be pro- tected by the expenditure of one dollar of public money, added to four dollars of in- dividual means already dedicated to be- nevoient use, it would be reprehensible prodigality to insist upon the expenditure for\nhat purpose of five dollars collected trom taxpayers. This is especially true of @ governmental jurisdiction such as ts the District of Columbia, where the character, facilities and tenets of the charities and reformatories are so widely varied that there 1s ample room for resort to them by any one, according to his own needs, de- signs or convictions. In the universality of the peoplé’s charities of Washington is fovnd the strongest reason against resort to the extravagance of exclusive official- ism. Only of Historic Value. “The report of the board of children's guardians and the several subreports and documents transmitted with it constitute a very voluminous publication. Much of the appended matter relates to expecta- tions and designs entertained nearly three years ago, concerning a projected system, which was not accepted in full by Con- gress, or carried out in the allotment of appropriations. It was at one time taken for granted by those projectors that in the District bill of 1898 Congress would give moneys for the support of dependent children exclusively to the board of chil- dren's guardians. But Congress declined to do so, and the plan, in that respect, failed. Only certain ones of the child-car- rying institutions were affected in their appropriations instead of all of them, and, of those affected, a percentage, instead of the whole of their allowance, was taken away for the beneftt of the new board. “The yet more decided action of the last session resulted in separating the appro- priations and providing specifically and directly alike for the board of children’s guardians and for every other*child-carry- ing agency in the appropriation schedule. The fact that two" Congresses differing in membership and in composition of com- mittees thus concurred, the second con- firming and carrying to a logical conclu- sion di the findings of its predecessor, ap- parently deprives these documents of any- thing more than historic value. However, they relate to an interesting discussion concerning the reporting agency during the ‘year reported upon, and, as such, they may claim space in the annual records of the District. The controversy related en- trely to appropriations, The “board in- sisted that ‘nine of the child-carrying instl- tutions of the District should be entirely deprived of their appropriations and that an equivalent amount sheuld be given to the board. This contention never prevati- ed, and executive officers must deal with the law as it is, not as anyone may have wished it to be. National Bureau of Charity, “The proposition in question was seem- ingly part of a very extensive scheme of official charity reorganization, involving, as was noted in my report of last year, the establishment of a national bureau, or de- partment of charities, as well as the re- modeling of our local charitable and cor- rectional service and the founding of a group of official boards to control the dif- ferent sorts of District charities all under a central directorate. About the guardians’ claim to exclusive appropriations for chil- dren’s care, thousands of pages of ex- havstive discussion were written and much of the matter printed in pamphlets, the ‘hearings’ of congressional committees and in the public press. There does not scem to be adequate reason for going over the ground again, the question having been settled substantially in accordance with the recommendations of this office. “In the estimates of the accompanying report of the children’s guardians the su- perintendent states the cost of supporting wards of the board is fixed at $1U8 for in- fant wards and $80 for others not yet placed in ‘free homes.’ i proportionate share of administrative ex- penses, which are thus left to be calculated as a charge, exclusively, upon the wards ‘placed out.” “About the greater public cost of infant wards boarded under this system as com- pared with those in institutions there can be no question, and it is idle to argue that public cost is reduced by the boaru’s methods during go long a time as wards are subjects of charge for maintenance as dis- tinguished from inspection, Nor are com- parisons fairly to be made between the cost of supporting other wards of the board and the rate paid by the board for maintaining those lodged in institutions; that rate be- ing fixed by the board itself. Placing Ont System. “The question is not as one between the guardians’ outlays in one way and in the other, but as to the relative public expense of the methods of the board and those of other child-carrying agencies. The ‘plac- ing out system,’ practiced from time im- memorial in many countries, and long pur- sued in Washington by institutions and associations, is now enjoying having a favorable opportunity for full development in connection with the regular inspection of wards after, as well as before, final in- denture, which is a distinctive feature of r "'s method.

As to the appropriations of this board, a special advisory responsibility devolves upon the superintendent of charities by the provision of the law of 1892 instituting the board. “For the current fiscal year the recom- mendation made through the estimates was for $20,000. The Congress granted $17,000, a sum equal to the outlays of the board dur- ing fourteen months, of which those for two months covered administrative and preparatory expenses only. Economies elsewhere alluded to should enable the work to be conducted within the allotted cost. The earnest desire of this office is to facilitate in all proper and practical ways the work of this official agency—not ‘the sole’ one for the case of children dependent upon the public, but certainly an import- ant one and of much use to the District criminal courts; and if sound reason be shown for increased appropriations over the $22,500 to be available under the estimates, the superintendent will not hesitate to ask for a larger sum, in discharge of his duty under the statute above cited. The deter- mination of this question depends upon de- tails not yet settled, but which, as explain- ed above, will be adjusted in time for con- gressional action cn appropriation: Not by Way of Criticism. “On the subject of the duration and na- ture of the training of public dependents of childhood age should receive as pre- -Uminary to the placing of them in private homes and the apprehension and care of city waifs, there has of late heen much interesting discussion, notably at the ses- sions of the international cong-ess and the national conferences of charities and cor- rection.” From debates and papers read during these gatherings the report gives a number of extracts. “The citations are made,” Mr. Tracey states, “not by way of criticism on th methods of the children’s guardians’ agency, but as illustrating the difficulty and delicacy of its work, and showing the reascning and experience of those who believe that, as a general rule, except in cases of infant adoption in childless house- holds, a period of probationary institu- tional instruction is very desirable in preference to sending children committed by courts from destitution and vicious or squalid surroundings, directly into fami- lies where ‘their services will be regarded as equivalent for support,’ and where edu- cation is apt to be neglected and the ward become the drudge. To prevent this rigid and frequent inspection is essential —- THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1—Judge Cox. Waldron vs. O'Neal, time to take testi- mony limited to twenty days.

The attorney for the District has been requested to pass upon an interesting case. Some time ago the Commissioners order- ed the B. and O. R. R. Co. to erect and maintain certain electric lights at the crossings in Takoma Park. The railroad company allowed the District to erect the lights, but refused to pay for their main- tenance. The bill aggregates some $230, and the attorney will give an opinion as to how the Commissioners can collect the same. — Stole n Horse A colored youth giving the name of Wm.
