WILSON, “Shoemaker for Tender Feet,” 929 F St. 411-364 AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN| Officers Elected for the Catholic Union Last Night. Grand Tent Visitation and Plans for the Winter—Successful Amatew Production—Other Notes. The annual election of officers of the Georgetown Catholic Union was held last night, and resulted in the choice of the following: J. Burrows Waters, president; Charles R. Murray, vice president; B. P. Craig, secretary; Frank J. Wissner, treas- urer; Charles McIntee, librarian, and Thos. Keliher, assistant Hbrarian. The board of managers for the new year will be compos- ed of George W. Cook, James A. Keliher, Wm. Whelan, Thomas Murtaugh and T. A. Murray, and the house committee ~of James A. ‘Keliher, Charles MeIntee and ‘Thos. Fuilalove. ‘The new officers will put their shoulders immediately to the wheel and bring about and build upon the old interest that a few years back so per- meated the organization and made it one of the most prominent Catholic clubs of the District. The union’s quarters will be at once placed in the charge of renovators, to be made bright, attractive and partica~ larly cheerful. A series of entertainments will be presented for che pleasure of the members and their friends, and other features introduced to vary the enjoy- ments. It is proposed to luild up the en- rollment and make a membership in the body profitable in more ways than one. ‘The new officers were selected from the best material in the urion. Grand Tent Visitation. The semi-annual visitation of the Grand Tent officers to Faith Pent of Rechabites took place last night. After the initiation of new members the visiting officers as- sumed charge and examined the local vitt- rs in the unwritten work of the order. he examination was very successful, and showed the tent to be under excellent con- trol. Addresses were made by A. K. Belt, G. C. R.; R. W. Johnson, David Upperman, Job Harriss, Brother Taylor and Mesdames Chambers, Rowan, Lowe, Barr, McElwee, Johnson, ' Golden, Waters, Crown and -others. Songs were sung by the Misses Johnson, Speanburg, Riley, Belt and Walker. Refreshments were served by the ladies, and a good time enjoyed by all present. Forty members of the tent were present. Faith Tent is a comparatively new branch of the temperance work, whose oflicers are all ladies. While male’ members are ad- mitted, they cannot hold office or vote on any question. The tent is doing a good work for the cause of temperance. ‘The membership is being added to weekly. The tent will commence a series of jubi- lee temperance meetings on Sunday atter- noon, at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on Zist street below M. Successful Production, ‘Trying It On,” a farce in one act, and verybody’s Friend,” a comedy in three parts, were presented last night at Lin- thicum Hall for the benefit of St. John’s Episcopal Church. The audience, owing to the unfavorab.. weather, lacked in quantity, but those who were there were weil repaid for their venture. Under the maragement of Mr. D. W. Gregory, who has had ec msiderable experience’ in’ such work, the piays went off meritoriously. Those who impersonated the characters of the farce were H. it. Pyne, E. M. New- ton, Miss Leila Mechlin, Miss Ethel Camp, Miss Pearl Townsend and D, W. Gregory. ‘The latter had the star part, and he made it shine. The comedy was presented by W. bert, H. R. Pyne, E, M. Newton, Gregory, Miss Isabelle Nesmith, Camp, Miss Townsend and “Penelope.’ Miss Nesmith was the only Georgetowner in the cast. She has done good work with the Edwin Ferry out-of-town productions and last night made an impression on h home friends. All the parts were in ca- pable hands. Probably the feature of the evening, however, was the first formal ap- pearance in the West End of the recently organized Georgetown Banjo and Guitar Club, composed of Messrs. C. Woodville, . Ball, A. Y. Bradley, J. P. Willett, jr., . Thompson and Thos. L. Hume. Their selections were enthusiastically applauded, Among them were “Vienna Forever,” : and Beauty,” “Normandie,” and mine.” The musical critics predict a highly successful career for the new organization. Mr. C, Woodville is the club's manager, Hunt Bal ‘The annual hant ball of the Chevy Chase Club will be given this year on the 28th of December, in the hunters’ new ball ‘room adjoining their home. It will be an “event.” Society will be represented by her most favored ones. It is expected that a large delegation from the Elkridge Hunt Club of Baltimore wejl be present. . Officers Elected.

Prof. Louis Pasteur, the eminent French chemist and discoverer of the famous Pasteur treatment for hydrophobia, is seriously ill at Paris, He is seventy-two years old.

Parkhurst of New York by a number of prominent reformers, re- questing an indication from him as to the most acceptable form of a testimonial which they desire to offer as a token of thgir appreciation of his crusade against mfnicipal corruption. Dr. Parkhurst ex- pressed his gratification, but suggested that aid be given the City Vigilance League. ‘The police committee appointed to pre pare a non-partisan method for the man- agement of the Chicago police force made its report yesterday, recommending that both appointments and promotions be made by examinations, physical and mental, and providing that all present officers under ten years of service be required to take the proposed examinations, MR. PLATTI"S PRESS BUREAU. His Defense Supplied to New York Country Editors. The New York Evening Post yesterday published a letter of ex-Senator T. C. Platt to country editors, and also a document which amounts to an appeal on the part of Mr. Platt for support as the representa- tive leader in New York state. Mr. Platt’s letter to the country editors says. “I do not suggest that you print it in its entirety, for in order to cover the ground fully it has been made rather long, and perhaps too long for your use at one time. My suggestion is that you possess yourself of the salient points in this statement and use them in editorials of your own writing during the next few weeks.” He adds that he will appreciate all the receiver does. ‘The inclosure, after referring to the re- cent republican victory, speaks of dissen- sions in New York city regarding the use to be made of it. After speaking of the claims of Dr. Parkhurst and the commit- tee of seventy, Mr, Platt’s inclosure says: nator Platt has had the courage to speak out boldly against these mugwump and democratic self-assertions, and to mind all these individuals that are ing up with proclamaticns that they hue discovered a new system of government, which they must straigbtway be empower- ed, at a good salary, to put into execution; that the people have elected republican officials tc carry out their will, and that these officials are not going to abdicate in favor of self-constituted committees of over-zealous individuals. Mr. Platt's dec- laration has the unqualified support of republican party from one end of the st to the other, and yet the republican fac- tichists in New York city are making it ihe basis of a new outery. Apparently they are willing to surrender themselves and their party to the mugwumps and demo- crats. They may, of course, do with them- selves what they please, put they cannot carry the republican party with them. Mr. Platt’s success as a leader is due to the fact that he understands the republi- can voters.”” Further on he speaks of the New York Tribune's recent. criticism of him, as fol- lows: “What ails the Tribune? It is true that Mr. Platt did rot permit Whitelaw Reid’s young protege, Mr. Milholland, to disrupt the republican party by creating a faction in opposition to the reorganization of the committee of thirty. It is true that the Tribune has ceased to be the public printer, and that the $25,000 of public patronage which it has hitherto received has now gone to “The Press,” but these facts don’t constitute a reason why it should play into the hands of the demo- cratic party, nor are they a good ground for doiny those things for which it rebuk- ed other newspapers six months ago.” ——__+- e+ —___.

A Place for the Tollers to Obtain Ree reation—Speeches Last Night ~A Banquet. The new club house of the Workingmen’s Club, an organization inaugurated some ten years ago by the parish of St. John’s Episcopal Church of this city, was formal- ly opened last evening under the most fa~ vorable circumstances, As the name implies, the club is an organization composed cf men who toil. Although organized under the auspices of, and mainly supported by contributions from, the parishioners of St. John’s Church, it recognizes no creed but that which believes in the good of man and which promotes all that is good in him, As was explained at the club last evening, the religious belief of no man is asked, the doors of the club being open to.the Protes- tant and the Catholic, heretics and infidels alike. All that is asked of members is that they shall conduct themselves as men and observe all the proprieties of good behavior. A well-filled library is provided for the en- tertainment of the members, billiard tables, chess and checkers, and also cards. Now, for the first time in its history, the club occupies an entire house, the large, old- fashioned but commodious and well-ar- ranged building at 2105 Pennsylvania ave- nue. This was the building formally opened last evening. The opening exercises were held in the large double parlors of the old mansion, and seated about the Rev. Dr. Mackay- Smith, as he opened the exercises with prayer, were Judge A. B. Hagner, Gen. Luther M. Curtis, member of Congress from New York; Mr. H. Randall Webb, Mr. Lowndes, Commander Eaton, United States navy; Mr. William Corcoran Hill, Mr. G.W. Salter, secretary of the advisory board, and others interested in the club. About one hundred of the club members. and. their friends were present and listened to and applauded the speakers. Dr. Smith's Welcome. The Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith weleomed the members in & neat address, congratu- lating them upon accession to the new club house. ‘The club, he pleasantly said, had yearly outgrown its uccommodations, and, like the big, healthy boy who out- grows his clothes, its progress was a de- ht to all who believed in the good of men and enjoyed its growth. What the club had done in ¢he past year or two was really surprising, but it clearly indicated that more and greater surprises were in store for those who believed in it and in its work. Kvery true man and woman honored the laboring man, said the speak- er, for labor was the source of all happi- ness, and without labor the world would not be worth living in. He was glad to know that all was harmony and good fel- lowship in the club, and while the club was not a religious one, it stood for all that is good in religious belief, and sought to save its members and their friends from the evils of the saloon. It was proposed to hold monthly meetings at the club, and at these meetings he hoped the club would consider not only their own welfare, but the welfare and advancement of the whole District. Other Speakers, Gen. Curtis was the next speaker, being introduced as one of the heroes of Fort Fisher, where he was severely wounded during the late war. Gen. Curtis sali while he was not a club man, he believed in and would do all in his power to promote such a club as the Workingmen’s Club. He represented, he explained, a great laboring district, and knew from personal experi- ence that only by combination of interests could the laboring man succeed. Judge Hagner followed Gen. Curtis, and in a few words said that the club was one of the best institutions of its kind in the District. Its advantages were, he said, too well known to be recounted, and the large attendance at the opening was the best in- dication of the complete success of the club. The judge gave several historical reminiscences of the neighborhood, and said that while many of the best and most important men of the country had assem- bled in the house in the old times, none were so important to the country as those of the club. “Nobody but the Old Boy and the very meanest of rum sellers will try to wreck the club,” exclaimed the judge, and he said that they need not be feared if the members were earnest in their purposes. He spoke of the possibilities of the laboring man, remarking that all of them could succeed if they but honestly worked for success. Mr. G. W. Salter, the secretary of the advisory board, explained the objects and advantages of the club, The present mem- bership, he said, was about seventy-five, and he believed that with little exertion the membership could be increased this winter to not less than two hundred. He then invited the members of the club to the upper floor, where a delightful collation was enjoyed. ———— HAYWARD’S MURDEROUS PLAN. New Evidence Obt ed in the Min- neapolis Tragedy. New evidence against Harry Hayward was found yesterday in Minneapolis, indi- cating that the plan to murder Kitty Ging was carefully planned. It also confirms, in a measure, the confession of Blixt that Harry intended to burn the Ozark Flats. Benjamin H. Gilbert, an insurance man, last evening related the Incidents of a con- versation he had with Hayward Wednes- day, November 28, five days before the night of the murder, and the conversation points to the corroboration of Blixt’s testi- mony that Harry had not fully decided to put the girl out of the way until the Friday or Saturday before the shooting occurred. Mr. Gilbert, who has known Harry for years, was conversing with a gentleman in a store, when Harry approached. “After a_few exc! ges of greetings,” said Mr. Gilbert, “Harry stated that he had been making a friend a loan who was about to start in business in Nicollet ave- nue. The security offered was not suffl- cient, and ha sald the friend had offered sign a policy in the New York Insur- Company to him as collateral. He did not state the amount or. mention the Traveler's Insurance Company. He said he had the policy in his pocket. He then asked me about methods of assigning pol- icies, and I explained them in detail. He pulled out a blank, and I showed him how a policy should be assigned. He then ask- ed a few questions about payment of claims, etc., and said: ‘How ts it, if a per- son insured in any company was in a building, and the building burned, and they were burned so badly that they could not be recognized; would the company pay the claim? “I explained that the company would require absolute’ proof of identification of the remains. “‘Suppose a person is murdered; would the company pay the claim?” was the next question, in a matter-of-fact way. I told him that would not release the company if the fact that the insured’s death was proved. Then he commenced to talk about Pitzel’s case in Philadelphia, and I told him of the efforts the companies made to ferret out the murderers. I did not think anything of the conversation until Tues- day morning, when I read the account of the murder and Harry Hayward having the policies. I did not think it strange that he asked me these questions, hecause peo- ple often do to whom pclicies are assigned. I am very sure now that he intended to either murder the girl or burn her by fir- ing the Ozark Flats, and decided that the shooting would be the quietest and surest way. ee Matched for 81,000 a Side.
