Percy Elsom, at the Gay Street Baptist Church, spoke last night before a very large attendance on what he called the eleventh commandment, “Brotherly Love,” taking his text from John, “A New Commandment I Give Unto Thee.” The speaker discoursed eloquent- ly. He said brotherly love was a com- mand of God ard he illustrated the power of love through the story of Joseph and his brothers. Brotherly love, too, he said, fs a test of regeneration. God has put tests in the world in science and religion. If we have love for one another, we know that we have been converted. He illus- trated this in various ways. Heaven, the speaker says, begins on earth, and the place where the brains start he depot of brotherly love. In a beauti- ‘ul and affecting manner, he illustrated how desolate was the home where there is no love. There were two conversions last night and eighteen stood for prayer. The subject for ight will be “Spir- itual Sickness,” at » o'clock. Demented Woman. There was a demented white woman found wandering on the streets of town last evening. She talked ramblingly and could give no good account of herself. Of- ficer Lohman came across her and per- suaded her to go to the station. There, after much questioning, it was learned that she was Anna Mahoney of 529 7th street. Her husband is the janitor in the building. Mrs. Mahoney was properly taken care of. Notes. Mrs. Mankins of 1330 30th street slipped yesterday at the corner of 30th and P streets, fell and broke her ankle. There was a small fire yesterday at the home of Dr. Walter Reed, No. 5 Cooke place.

Relative to the bill having in view a re- duction in the penalties to 1 per cent per month for delinquent taxes, Assessor ‘Trimbie, to whom the matter was referred, has approved the bill and recommended the following substitute to the amendment submitted by Senator Galiinger: Provided, That if one-halt of the tax upon real and personal property shall not be paid before the Ist day of December in each year, said one-half shall thereupon be in arrears and delinquent; and there shall chen be added, to be collected with such taxes, a penaity of one per centum upon the amount thereof, and a like pen- alty on the first day of each succeeding month until payment of said one-half and penalty. And if said one-half shall not be paid before the Ist day of June following, together with the one-half of said original tax due before said Ist day of June, a like penalty shall then be added on said last one-half of such tax, and the whole to- gether shall constitute the delinquent tax, to be dealt with and collected in the man- ner now provided by law, and all acts or parts of acts inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. —__>+—_ ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION. ‘The Semi-Annual Session of the Grand Lodge of the District.

The Philharmonic Club Concert,-The Phitharmonto Club gave its concert of the season at Metzerott Hall last night. The first two numbers by the club, the prelude to “Gabriella” and the “Rakoczy March,” were rather coldly received, al- though the latter, arranged by Mr. Lent, was played with decided spirit and good effect. Miss Lucia Nola sang the invoca- tion to Vesta from “Polyeucte,” but her work in this number was hardly what was expected. Mr. Victor Herbert played a concerto for the ‘cello with fine effect, and was forced to answer an encore, giving a Mazourka by Popper. The next number on the program was Liszt’s Second Hungarian Rhapsedie for piano. Mrs. Ernest Lent played, and did it admirably. She dis- played unusual power, and her execution was facile, graceful and intelligent. The recitative and cavatine from “Beatrice di Tends.” was given with brilliant effect by Miss Mary Helen Howe. It was a vecy heavy piece of work, but it was done with an ease and finish which indicated the in- telligent and faithful industry which the singer had put into her studies. Her voice is true, and sustains with facility and ac- curacy. Mr. Herman Rakemann’s solo number was the ‘Fantasia Appassionata” by Vincenzo Vieuxtemps. He pluyed this with great abandon and zeal, and his finish and dexterity sustained his well- earned reputation as a violinist. Mr. Her- bert then produced a group of songs, a romance from Ernest Lent, a little waltz of his own, and a sherzo from Von Goen3, and in these he confirmed the excellent im- pression he made in his first number, and justly preved his.title as the first ‘celloist of this country. s Lucia Nola next sang “A Summer Nig! with ‘cello obligato. In this Miss Nola showed to much better advantage than in her first selection, and sang very pleasingly. A serenade by Mr. Herbert and Seguidilla by Mr. Lent, played by the club, closed the evening, and one of the best programs that the club has pre- sented. Mr. Lent, in addition to playing with the club, acted as piano accompanist to all the soloists except Miss Howe, for whom Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard of- ficiated. “Rebekah.”—The cantata of “Rebekah” will be presented at the Mt. Vernon Place Church, corner 9th and K streets tonight. under the direction of Prof. George W. Lawrence. The soloists will be Mme. Kate Deane, soprano; Frederick H. Weber, tenor, and Wm. A. Groppel, bass. The choruses will be sung by the Columbia Musical As- scciation, an organization that has been trained by Mr. Lawrence, and which has had the work under rehearsal for some weeks. There will also be a full orchestra, and an enjoyable performance of this pleas- ing cantata may he expected. Herp Recital.—Tonight there will be a harp recital at Metzerott Music Hall by Miss Anita Cluss, who is recognized as one of the most brilliant and gracetul per- formers on that instrument now Lefore the public. Miss Cluss is a Washington girl, and she has won her way to her present position by natural musical ability and hard work. She will be assisted by Mrs. Kittie Thompson Berry, soprano; Mr. 7. Wil- liams-Pearman, tenor; Prof. Anton Kuspar, violinist, and Prof. Arnold W. Meyer, pian- ist. All these are popular musicians, and the program will be an entertaining one. Y. M. C. A.—There will be a musical and literary entertainment at the Y. M. ©. A. building tonight, at which the following nt will participate in the pregram: The Apollo Quartet—Messrs. W. D. McFarland, Perry B. Turpin, Frank P- Reeside and Bernard A. Ryan—Messrs. E. Miller, Frank B. Ketchum, Benj. Gott- walls, E. P. Haliey, jr., A. V. Holmes, J. A. Elsenbelss and Profs. E. A.

M. Tysinger, H. D. Anderson, Geo. B. Myles all did exc2Hent work. The comedy element was in the hands of Mr. Wm. T. Frazier, H. W. Weber and Perey Towd, who kept the audience in a roar of laughter. Miss Katie Halloran Played the soubrette part of Sibey in a manner that took the hearts of her audi- ence by storm, gvhile Mrs. M. F. Halloran, as Leonora, did exceedingly well.

"That is what Frank G. Carpenter did in order to give the three illustrated talks which he is to de- liver at Metzcrott’s next weck. He had been in Asia before, but he wanted tne freshest and newest of material, and he teok a big letter of credit and went a dis- tance equal to the circumference of the globe after it.” He has been writing for the newspaper public for years, and it is sald that he can talk as well as write.

The Robbers Make the Mistake of Picking Out a Policcma’ It {s seldom that a policeman appears in court as the victim of a “hold-up,” but this was the role in which Policeman Matthews appeared before Judge Kimball this morn- ing. Fortunately for the officer, he had called time on his assailants before they had a chance to injure him with stones they had picked up on the road. The pris- oners are young colored men, named Dan- fel Newton and Henry Lucas, who are well known to the officers of several pre- cincts. They live in the “camps” aud last night they had been visiting servant girls in Mount Pleasant. Ss Because of the numerous sneuk jobs com- mitted about the neighborhood of Mount Pleasant during the past few weeks, the police are doing night duty there in citi- zens’ clothes, ard some of them are s0 well disguised that even their best friends would not recognize them. Such was the appearance of Policeman Matthews last night when he strolled through Mount Pleasant looking for suspicious persons. His beard was powdered and his clothing gave him the appearance of an old soldier inmate of the home. It was only about 8 o’cleck in the even- ing when the officer in his disguise strolled along the road, stopping and looking around as if bewildered, and the colored men, attracted by his strange conduct, approached him and said: “Hello, old man, what's the matter? Are you lost?” “I don’t know exactly where I am,” the officer answered, “but I guess 1 can get along” “Which way do you want to go?” one of the men asked. “Can -you tell me how to get to Soldiers’ Home.” * > “Go right down there,” said one of the colored men, painting’ to a dark and dis- mal place. “Go through -that ravine and then you can get on the car.’” The officer knew that ke had been misdi- rected,but as he wanted to ascertain some- thing mcre of the men, he walked down through the ravine and fellinto the trap. As he moved slowly along he watched the men’s movements. He saw them hurry- ing along, going in a direction, which indi- cated that they wanted to head him off in the dark place. ” While the officer covered the distance of about one square the colored men. covered three, and soon they were brought together again. The colored men.stooped, and each ap- peared to pick up @ stone. Matters then took a more serious aspect, and the officer realized that he must act quickly when the final clash came, and at the same time he wanted te: make no mistake. When they finally came close to the officer, one in front and one to the rear, one of the men raised his arm as if to strike a blow, and then the officer stepped back and said: “Up with your hands, or I'll blow the tops off your heads.” As he said this he pointed bis revolver at the men, and it is needless to say they obeyed his command, and to the order “face about’ they turned toward 14:h street and marched... As they proceeded ever the frozen earth one of them drop- ped from his.hand a good-sized stone. When the police station was reached the prisoners were identified as being well known in police circles. In Court Today. These prisoners headed the procession in the Police Court today, and plead not guilty to a charge of vagrancy “and sus- picion.« Officer Dan Williams said he knew New- ten was a fregvent visitor to the police station and court.: “Do you knowv anything of his char- acter?” “Only from the number of times I've re- corded his arrest.’? Precinct Deteetive Barnes also gave evi- dence against them. “Newton has the reputation of being a thief," he told the court, “and his brother was sent to the penitentiary last week for pocketbcok snatching.” The prisoners derted that they had done as the officer had said, and claimed that Leng had been tn Mount Pleasant to see a girl. Judge’ Kimball required them to give real estate security in the sum of $100 or go down for sixty days. —— Clovis at a Danaguet. ‘The tenth iantitversaryof the Relief As- sociation of, the -clerks of Lansburgh & Brother was celebrated last night at ¥reund’s restaurant.

The national cabinet of the recently or- ganized patriotic order known as the American ‘Knights of Protection have adopted resolutions and a declaration of principles, setting forth the purpose and scope of the organization. The object is defined to be chiefly the furtherance of the doctrine of protection to American indus- tries through tariff and immigration re- strictions. It also has certain fraternal and social functions, which, it is thought, will bind the members more closely to- gether than a mere economic interest, The order has located the National AsSembly offices in Baltimore, from which point the work of the organization will be directed. Gen. Cyrus Bussey, late assistant secretary of Interior, is president of the order. Rep- resentative John B. Robinson of Pennsyl- vania is counsellor. The principles of the order have heen indorsed by Senator John Sherman and other prominent statesmen. ————— Auxiliary Indian Association, The Washington Auxiliary of the Wo- man’s National Indian Association held their first meeting of the year in the red parlor of the Ebbitt House Thursday at 10:30 a. m.
