PILGRIMS’ LANDING New England's Teachers Eulogized in Elo- quent Speeches, Pleasant Banquet to Mark the Anni- versary of the Landing of the Fathers—The Speeches. With eloquent sddresses, stirring mysic-| and hearty good cheer, the members.of the ‘Washington Congregational Club and their guests celebrated at Willard’s last even- ing the 274th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. The banquet hall upon the second floor presented a brilliant appearance, and the tables were loaded with good things the like of which the Pilgrim Fathers never looked at. The menu card was a tasteful production, and contained, in addition to the menu, the names of the officers and ccmfmittees of the club. Mr. Jugtice Brewer of the Supreme Court presided, and Rev. M. Ross Fishburn of the Mt. Pleasant Congregational Church aske ed the blessing. After the material feast had been dis- posed of, the company joined in singing a hymn, written for the occasion, set to the tune St. Martin's, Judge Brewer, in his introductory re- marks, drew a pleasing picture of the char- acteristics of the Yankee “schoolma’am, who, he said, was the person who introduc: ed most of those present to their intellect- ual life. The judge then related some in- teresting experiences of his own in con- nection with this priestess of New Eng- land education. He spoke in an interesting manner of the influence for good which this same “school- marm” had exerted in all parts of our Jand and in every dcpartment of national life. “We glory in her,” he continued, “because she has been one of the mightiest of the forces that have heen shaping our natural history and meking the greatness and grandeur of our national life. True, she has been working quietly and silently these two and a half centuries, but the world is coming to recognize that the little woman in the old red school house at the corner of the cross roads has been the force which has ruled New England, and through New England the republic, and through the re- public will yet rule the world. I call her a little woman: So she was, but I tell you, my friends, and I speak from abundant ex- perience, a little woman is mightier than an army with banners. It is not the quan- tity or bulk, but its intensity and purity, which determines the value of a force. A light Damascus blade will cut clean through, while a ponderous battleax will only wound and mangle.” In conclusion, Judge Brewer said that if we would find the true measure of the forces which have molded our national prosperity we must look beyond the sol- dier, the statesman, the politician, the or: tor, the lawyer and the fashionable preach- er. and see a mightier and more uplifting force in the gentle and quiet teacher of New England. Civil Liberty. Professor Paul then sang a solo entitled “Over the Mountain Wave,” and Judge Brewer introduced Senator Orville H. Platt of Connecticutt. Senator Platt responded to thé toast, “Civil Nberty—the outgrowth of religious Mberty.” The Senator con- tinued, with a eulogy of the New England teacher, and related some of his own ex- periences. He drew a striking picture of the old New England meeting house and traced the connection of this meeting house with the religious and civil liberty of the nation. The speaker dwelt upon the phases of re- ligious belief that led the pilgrims to come to America. It was common to state, he said, that they came to America in search of clvil and religious Mberty. This was in- correct, as he read the history of those times. They came to find religious liberty because they were unwilling to bow to any bishop. Religious liberty blossomed and bere fruit 150 years afterward in civil lib- erty. The meeting house and religious meetings in America were the begintiings of civil liberty. Had Experience. Prof. Paul then sang as a solo “The Pil- grim Fathers.” Dr. E. M. Gallaudet of Kendall Green, in responding to the toast, “The Huguenots,” introduced his remarks by saying that Judge Brewer's allusions to the Yankee schoolmarm had touched a responsive chord in his being, inasmuch as he had years ago taken the hand of one of them in his and had been holding it ever since. Dr. Gallaudet traced in a most interest- ing manner the history of the Huguenots during their persecution in France, and spoke of the hardy representatives of the faith which had settled upon our shores, and become Americans in the fullest and truest sense of the word. ‘The company then stood as they sang “My Country, ‘tis of Thee,” and the bene- diction was pronounced by Rev. S. M. New- man, D. D., of the First Congregational Church. Those Present. Those present were as follows: Justice and Mrs. David J. Brewer, Senator 0. H. Platt, Dr, and Mrs. E. M.

As a matter of fact no such excesses occurred at Wounded Knee. When the crder to disarm the Indians was given the bucks and squaws were mixed together, and they, the Indians, commenced firing on the troops and there was no al- ternative left but to fire back into this crowd of bucks and squaws or for the men of the seventh cavalry, as well as of other regiments, to be shot down where they stood. Moreover, it is a well known fact that the average Indian squaw is a flercer fighter than the most savage Chinese sol- dier. There is a wide latitude to be allowed to troops flushed with victory and incensed at the sight of the mutilated remains of their comrades, and that excesses were comit- ted under such circumstances is not be- yond belief, but as a soldier I must pro- test against comparing the conduct of the troopers of the seventh cavalry at Wound- ed Knee in any way with the alleged mas- sacre at Port Arthur. At Wounded Knee such women and children as may have been killed were killed in the heat of ac- tion and not butchered in cold blood, after the fight was over, nor did such killing last for three whole days, nor is there any record of quarter having been refused when asked for. It is all very well to palliate the action of Gen. Oyama’s troops, but it is unfair to do so at the expense of creating an er- roneous impression of that of our own. ‘Trusting that you can find space in your paper for this, I remain, very truly, J.

The Carroll Institute team did great bowling in the first game at the institute last night, making 870, the highest team score of the tournament, and did good bowl- ing in the second, but lost the game by only three pins; in the third the team went to pieces, and broke down completely. The Washington team bowled at & steady, even pace all the way through. In bowling, as in other matters, it is the unexpected which often happens. Moral: “Don’t halloa until you are out of the woods,” and, again, it is much better for the bowlers’ nerves to always let the “rooters” do the “rooting.” ‘The scores in detail are as follows: First Game.

Favorites Win on the Island. The success of the favorites continued at ihe Alexander Island track yesterday, but one of them—Ponce de Leon—being defeat- ed, and hs defeat may have been due to the bad send-off he got, although the win- ner, Chateau, won in # gallop. There were but tweive bookmakers on the line, and they were sorry not a little bit that they were there. The crowd present was again very large, and-the track was in excellent shape.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS, sili Many Matters of Interest Told in Brief Paragraph. The regular weekly meeting of the Alex- andria literary class was held last night, and all of the subjects were well discussed. The subjects for consideration were ge- ogiaphy, arithmetic, civil governments un- der the United States Constitution who are citizens; when only may the writ of habeas corpus be suspended; in case of removal or disability of both governor and lieutenant governor, who shall act as governor; of whom is the electoral college composed? The class took a recess after last night until the first Friday of January next. Bishop Whittle has appointed Rev. H. Suter of Christ Church, this city, to suc- ceed Rev. S. A. Wallis, as examining chap- lain of the Episcopal diocese of Virginia. Dr. Suter will act as examiner of Greek and Hebrew. The board of examining chaplains will now consist of Revs. W. M. Clark of Fredericksburg, R. A. Goodwin of Richmond and H. Suter of this city. The Junior Order of American Mechanics are making arrangements for a celebration in this city on the 22d of February next. Judge Duke is expected to deliver an ad- dress at the Opera House that night on “Virtue, Liberty and Patriotism.” It has not yet been decided whether the order will have a strget parade or not. Lieut. Silith of the police force yester- day delivered to Postmaster Carlin a regis- tered mail package, which was brought in- to the station house by a tramp, who de- livtred it to the lieutenant and stated that he had found it on the railroad track near Burkes station, on the Southern railroad. The package from a diamond dealer in Syracuse, N. Y¥., and was en route to Petersburg, Va. How the package came to be on the railroad track is still a matter ot doubt, and just why this knight of the road did not appropriate it to his own use will probably never be known. Postmaster Car- lin has reported the matter to the Post- master General at Washington. Mr. John A. Marshall has been awarded the contract for supplying 900 pieces of crossing plank for the Pennsylvania rail- road. The regular term of the Alexandria county court begins on Monday next in this city, but it is not thought that any business will be transacted until after Christmas. There is some talk of forming a local company to buy the gas works if the city council desires to dispose of them. The old wooden pump at the corner of 1st and Columbus streets has been removed ond a modern tron pump has been put there in its place. Mr. Thomas H. Carter and family have removed from their country residence near Ravensworth to this city for the winter. Mr, A. J. Cristie of the glass works at West End has gone to Pennsylvania to spend the holidays. Mr. John Sweeden and Mrs. Susan Hall were married last evening by Rev. W. H. McAlister. Mrs. George E. Price continues extremely il at her residence on North Fairfax street. Mrs. W. H. F. Lee was in the city yes- terday, on a visit to friends. Miss Maud Downham, daughter of E. E. Downham, who has been attending school in Norwalk, Conn., is home for the holl- days. Miss Janie Smith of Danville is visiting her father, Colonel F. L. Smith, on Wolfe street. Mr. K, Kemper, jr., who has been at- tending the William and Mary College, at Williamsburg, has returned home to spend the holidays. Mr. J. F. Lanty of Wheeling, W. Va., is visiting friends in this city. — Has Become Insane. Daniel Sheehan, who while a member of the police force in this city in 1886 was shot by the notorious John Jackson, better known as the “Ghost burglar,” is an in- mate of an insane asylum in Limerick, Ireland. This sad intelligence was received teday by Chief Clerk Sylvester of the po- lice department in a letter from Mrs. Shee- han, mother cf the ex-policeman, who is in Kansas City. In this letter Mrs. Shee- han makes inquiries concerning her son's right to a pension. The insawe man was well known in this city. For a number of years he figured as a base ball player and after serving in the army he returned here and received an ap- pointment on the police force.

STREET CAR-TRANSFERS Vice President Schoepf's Efforts for a Com- | prehensive System. Correspondence Between Him and md G. the Subject. President Dunlop of the W. Company o “There appears to be a general misunder- standing of the relations existing between the Eckington and the Washington end Georgetown railroads on the subject of transfers,” said Vice President and General Manager Schoepf of the former company to a Star reporter today. “Consequently I think it would be only proper to let the pub- lic know precisely how the matter stands. I stated to The Star the other day that the Eckington Company had withdrawn from the transfer arrangement in force between. its Maes and the Georgetown branch of the other road because of its one-sided nature. Considerable criticism has been indulged in because of this entirely sensible action. Perhaps this correspondence may throw additional light on the subject.” Mr, Schoepf hereupon handed the reporter a letter addressed to George T. Dunlop, pres- ident of the Washington and Georgetown Baliroad Company, under date of Novem- ber 17: “Under the terms of the notice hereto fore given you,” says the epistle, transfer arrangement now in force bet: your company and the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home Railway Company will expire on the 17th of December, 1894. “The officers of the latter company have been advised that the intent and effect of section 5 of the act approved August 2, 1894, entitled ‘An act to authorize the Metropolitan Railroad Company to change its motive power fer the propulsion of its cars,’ is to imp2se on the street railway cor.paries the duty to provide as speedily as may be such reciprocal transfer system as will best accommodate the public. “We are of the opinion that this can best be done by an arrangement between the two companies whereby, beginning on Decemter 17, 1894, passengers may be transferred at 15th’ street from this com- Pany’s cars to your cars, running in both directions on Pennsylvania avenue and 14th street, and from said cars of your company to the cars of this company run- ning eest on G street and north and south on 5th street. “Please arrange for an early conference hetween the proper officers of the roads in connection with this transfer arrangement. “The officers of this road will meet yours at any time after reasonable notice.” This letter was signed by Vice President and General Manager Schoepf. ‘On behalf of the Belt company, in which Mr. Schcepf holds the same positions as he does in the Eckington, a letter was also addressed to Mr. Dunlop. Its para- graphs are identical in language to the foregoing, save that {t proposed an ar- rangement for the transfer of passengers at 14th street and Pennsylvania avenue between the cars of the two companies passing at that point. The reply ~eceived to these communica- tions was dated December 12, 1894, and signed by President Dunlop. It said: “Your communications of 17th and 27th of Novem- ber were this morning laid before the board. of directors, but as there was not a full attendance at the meeting action upon the matter was postponed.” ‘You will see from this,” said Mr.Schoepf, “that the Eckington and Belt line roads are willing at any moment to enter into recip- rocal transfer relations with the Washing- ton and Georgetown road and all other lines that cannot fail to be immensely ad- vantageous to the traveling public of the city. going to have a conferende with “T am President Phillips on Monday in regard to making an arrangement for transfers between out lines and the Metropolitan, which, I trust, will result satisfactorily to ourselves and the public. The Eckington and Belt line policy is broad and progres- sive, and it will be no fault of ours if the Public is not given the benefits of a com- prehensive and fairly arranged transfer system to all parts of the city.” ——_—_ IN THE LAW SCHOOLS.

Nearly a quarter of a century ago the English reading public read with delight the adventures of Mark Twain's Innocents who went abroad in a vast steamship to see the orient. It was a novel experience, in some sense an experiment. A great company of people collected from all quar- ters of the country assembled on board a huge floating home and went roaming over the waters of the Mediterranean in a most delightfully leisurely style. There were adventures, pleasures, some troubles, and many jokes. The picnic idea as applied to foreign travel, however, was a thorough success, and today American tourists are quite in love with the notion of such im- mense undertakings. In these the plan- ning and thinking are done by professional planners and thinkers. The expedition be- comes a t machine, managed 80 smoothly that none of the cogs and wheels and pulleys are visible. All that remains for the tourist is to enjoy the trip—and to pay the bills. Of this character is the trip that the French line vamer La Touraine will make, which from“New York on the 6th of February, bound on a two monthi voyage for France, Spain, Portugal, © sica, Italy, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Greece, Malta, Tunis and Algeria. Eight~ een ports will be touched, and stops will be made ranging from six hours to five days. In all, nearly 12,000 miles will be covered, and the steamer is due to return to New York on the 6th of April. ‘There is a vast superiority in this mode of sight seeing over the ordinary tours along the southern coast of Europe, or far more than on the north shore of Africa. ‘There are few comforts to be found in these southern climes. As a rule hotels are poor, tables are execrable, and charges are exorbitant. It is a continual, persistent, urse-draining succession of fees, fees, Fees. Baggage must be refluced to the very minimum.
