The Masenic Veteran Association cele- brated its seventeenth anniversary last evening at the National Hotel. There were in attendance many citizens of Washing- ton, all well known to the community at large, and all of whom are members of the Masonic order. At a short business meeting several new members were admit- ted to the Veteran Association, a requisite for membership being twenty-one years’ service in the order. The next feature of the evening was a march to the dining room, which was artistically decorated with cut flowers, palms and flags. Presi- dent Clement W. Bennett occupied the head of the table and near him were Vice President Robert Ball, Noble D. Larner, David G. Dixon, F. L. Campbell, John H. Hopkins, C. L. Mansur, E. E. Meredith, S. S. Burdette, Frank A. Reed and T. R. Stockdale. After the edibles had been discussed, mu- sic was furnished by the Temple Quartet of Masons, comprising Alexander Mosher. Perry B. ‘Turpin, J. Henry Kaiser, and Charles W. Hancock, with W. E. Middle- ton as accompanist. Then President Ren- nett began the speechmaking of the even- ing with a short address, in which he gave a history of the association, citing 1s a proof of its success the long lst of di tinguished names upon the membership rolls. When President Bennett had con- cluded, Vice President Ball offered a toast to the Grand Lodge of the District, to which Grand Master Dixon responded, say- ing that he felt at home because he knew he was with his friends. The venerable Grand Lodge, he continued, is over eighty years of age, having been organized in 1811, and has attained a membership of 5,000, including men who grace every walk in_civil life. The next toast proposed was to the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the District, to which Grand High Priest Campbell re- sponded. Mr. Campbell spoke of the cause of Masonry, supplementing his remarks with many amusing anecdotes. As an ex- ample of purity, uprightness and true Ma- sonry, the heaith of President Bennett was then drunk at Mr. Campbell's suggestion. After another musical number, Vice Pres- ident Ball moved that ladies be invited to attend the future social festivities of*the association. It was also voted to hold a shad bake at Marshail Hall during the lat- ter part of next April, which was carried without dissent. Other Speakers. Mr. Noble D. Larner, president of the Weshington Masonic Veterans’ Association, was the next speaker, and he maintained that both associations are in unison with each other. Mr. Larner was followed by past eminent grand commander of the Unit- ed States James H. Hepkins, who express- ed the hope that those présent at the ban- quet might grow old in honesty, sincerity and with a host of friends. Grand Senior Warden F. A. Reed of Virginia stated at the opening of a brief address that the first grand master of the lodge had been Gen. George Washington. According to Mr. Reed, when Washington took charge of the continental army under the old elm at Cambridge, the members of his official family were nearly ell Masons. Mr. Reed also referred to the new Masonic home, just below Richmond, which is almost com- pleted. Congressional Speakers. ‘The next toast was in honor of Represen- tative E. E. Meredith. In his response, Mr. Meredith stated his belief that citizens of the District pay more than their just propor- tion of taxes, and that it is the duty of local residents to look after the Interests of the capital city. Mr. Meredith proposed a silent toast to Vice President Stevenson, and then declared that Masonry had always stood up for Christian brotherhood and the rights of man. Mr. Stockdale of Mississipp!, who was next called on, characterized Masonry as a grand institution, where business, politics and dissension are never admitted. Greetings from California were extended by Mr. Albert T. Perkins, who said he re- gretted that Senator Perkins was unable to be present. Mr. Mansur expressed his satisfaction in being a member of the Vet- erans’ Association, and also referred to the gicries of Masonry in colonial days. Mr. Simon Wolf recited some of his experiences with the craft in Egypt, after which Gen. Gurdette, the last speaker of the evening, declared that Masonry was a good thing for mankind. According to the custom of the association the enjoyable occasion closed with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” Be- sides the persons mentioned in the forego- ing those in attendance were: Those Present.

Mid- dieton last evening in the National Rifles’ armory proved entirely successful from both numerical and artistic standpoints. Mr. Middleton is fortunate enough to be unusually popular, and as he has always been prompt .to volunteer his services in behalf of others, his friends did all in their power to assist him last evening. The stage was under the direction of Mr. W. H. Dupont, a rising young Washington ac- tor, who is at present at home for a vaca- tion. The following contributed numbers to the program: Miss Jennie O'Neil Potter, Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith, Mrs. Kitty ‘Thompson-Berry, Miss Ida O'Neal, Prof. Bischoff, Mr. Will Mooney, Mr. James Wat son, Mr. Arthur Percy Harris, Mr. D. C. Bangs, Miss Alice Judson, Mrs. Ada Ober Leech, Miss Fannie Bischoff, Mr. J. J. Fisher, Mr. Wm. H. Harris, Mr. Benj. Jud- scn, Mr. James Mahoney, the Columbia Quintet, the Philharmonic Quartet and the Washington ‘Trio.’ Mr. Middleton is to take the part of Kalf in the new opera of “Peter,” soon to be produced by the Harris Brothers. ‘fhe music will afford good op- portunity for the display of his fine bass voice. For the Poor.—An effort to aid the poor of the southeast section of the city will be made tomorrow evening by the members of the North Carolina Avenue M. P. Church, corner of 8th and North Carolina avenue southeast. An attractive musical and literary entertainment has been ar- ranged, to Which admission 1s a pound or pounds of food or articles of clothing. Odd Fellows’ Hall.—A successful enter- tainment was given last evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on 8th street southeast, un- der the auspic2s of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Methodist Protestant Church, by the McCullough Dramatic Association. The drama produced was “Ten Nights in a ar Rocm.” ee No Organ Recital. The arrangements for an organ recital at the Church of the Covenant on Satur- day have not been completed, and there has been no definite time fixed for the se- ries to commence. —_—_+> + Potatoes, Gic. bu.

The Treasury Department has at last realized that there are several more stories to be added to the iron work of the city Post office building, and, after months of delay, bids are now to be opened for the frames above the sixth floor. It has been frequently pointed out in The Star that the experience with the pending iron contract, which was not begun until after the date of expiration had passed, should have Prompted the architect's office to speed in getting out the plans and specifications for the remainder of the work and awarding the contracts, so that there might be no exeuse for further delay. Notwithstand- ing the warnings that slow work has given the department, no steps have been actively taken until just a few days ago, when proposals were advertised for bids on this work, to be opened a week from teday, January 31, 1895. Of course, the iron work up to the sixth story is not yet done, but, judging from the ways of the past, it will be completed long before the successful bidder for the rest of the work is ready to begin his part of the job. ‘The proposals call for bids for the iron frames and beams for the structure above the sixth floor. This indicates the archi- tectural difference between a “story” and a “floor.” The sixth floor is now in place on the northeast corner, but the sixth story has not yet been framed. Hence, the new contract will include the sixth story and ees above it to the end of the construc- ion. In the language of the proposal, the bids are asked for “all the labor and materials required to put in place, complete the steel and iron work above the sixth floor, em- bracing the seventh, eighth and ninth floors and main roof and skylight over cortile, and the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth floors ard roof of tower and the columns for supporting saf@ floors and roofs, and beams and columns for stair- ways, &c.” The proposal is accompanied by the usual requirements as to certified checks, &c., and warning is given that the government reserves all right in the opening of the bids. The offers are to be opened at 2 o’clock on the day named. ——— FREE BIBLE LECTURES. The First to Be by Rev. Dr. Hamlin Next Week. The Rev. Dr. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, will begin the Bible lectures, under the auspices of the American Society of Religious Education, in Foundry Church, next Wednesday even- ing, instead of Bishop Hurst, who has ex- changed with, him and will lecture next month. The Rev. Dr. Hamlin’s theme will be “The Bible a Finality,” and he, will be introduced by Representative William L. Wilson cf West Virginia. The doors will be opened at 7:30, and the lecture will be- gin at 8. There being some misunderstand- ing about the matter it has been deter- mined by the committee of arrangements not to ask the admission fee iirst an- nounced, but to make the lectures entirely free, and to invite everybody to come. Those who have bought the course tickets for the lectures will receive the money for them, upon returning them to the persons from whom they purchased. The necessary expenses of the meetings will be defrayed by collections. The next lecture in the course will be on the 6th of February, in the Calvary Baptist Church, by Bishop Hurst on the subject “The Bible and Mod- ern Discovery,” when he will be introduced by Representative William M. Springer of Illinois. This is the first time that such a lecture course has been attempted in Washington, and it is believed that the character of the lecturers and of the gen- tlemen who are to introduce them, com- prising besides those mentioned the Rey. Dr. Muir, the Rev. Dr. McKim, Commis- sioner W. T. Harris, to be introduced by Mr. Justice Brewer; Judge Stanton J. Peelle and Judge Walter S. Cox, makes it inter- esting and important. eee! One Way to Help the Poor. To the Editor of The Evening Star: As The Star is always ready to help the poor, I desire to throw out a suggestion of one way in which the poor may be helped without costing the helper anything. I am in a position in which I am constantly brought into contact with an honest class of poor people, and I find that a great amount of suffering is caused by people who negiect to pay thelr dependents. I have before me now a letter, in which a poor woman who makes her living by washing .ays, “I has the money made, but I can't get it,” which probably means that some one who is able to pay has put her off from day to day, simply as a matter of convenience, while she is almost suffering for the necessities of life. Another case which his been brought to my attention Is that of a baker, who tells me of a good customer, who owes him for two months’ bread, and whom he féars to offend by dunning, in spite of the fact that the doc- tor's and apothecary’s bills for his sick child have taken so much money that he has had to discharge all of his help, and must now drive his wagon in the day and hake his bread at night, leaving him about three or four hours for sleep. The point is, that these people are afraid to ask for their money for fear that they will be paid and at the same time dismissed. If every one who can would see that all their small ac- counts are paid promptly, Iam sure they would do more good than they have any idea of. We ee The Avenues in Congressional Ceme- tery. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Referring to your.article in Star Tuesday evening upen the bill before Congress, ced- ing certain avenues in Congressional cem- etery to the Washington parish, fer burial sites, you say the avenues are abutting on the cemetery. Let me invite your attention to the bill, which describes the property as 18th and 19th streets east, which lie be- tween the north side of G street south, and the north side of Water street, and also those parts of south G and H streets which Ne between 17th and 20th streets east, which have been inclosed and included within the limits of the Washington ceme- tery, generally known as_ Congressional cemetery. In 1892, when Senate bill No. 2746 was being considered in committee on District of Columbia, I saw the stakes driven to lay off burial sites close up to the fountain in the main avenue, the pro- moters of the bill then being so sure of its passage that they had anticipated action, necessary by Ccngress, to get possession of these main avenues. The streets refe red to are in the very heart of the ceme- tery. W. W. ELDRIDGE. ees Officers Elected.

Remarkable Curves Described by a Drunker’ Man. ‘An episode on Penhsylvania. avenue at the corner of 11th street just before 10 o’clock this morningnillustrated the wis- dom of the modern: adage: “Wait until the car stops before} getting off!” A rather young man, who fhad lost his equilibrium considerably earlier ip the day, and had not yet recovered it; was riding on an avenue car boundewest.» He was seated in the grip with 7two friends, who had not been careful enoughuto get between: him and the street. The Impulse took him strongly to get.off the carat llth street, and without furtker ado he stepped forth. The car was in full swing, and the result would ‘have surpfise@ a more sober man very much indeed. As it was it is to be doubted if the young man realized any- thing more thane faimt glimmering notion that the end of all thimgs-had come. ‘When he struck the ground he described a double parabola, then swung around in an eccentric orbit, and, when at his: peri- helion, made a rapid descent to earth and found his aphelion in a hard and unsym- pathetic bed of asphalt. But his career was by no means checked. Upon reaching terra firma this wanderer in space went skating around for several seconds upon the smooth surface of the civic investi- ture of the soil, and rendered some very efficient aid to the street sweeping depart- ment of the District. A surprising amount of asphalt, dust and the ordinary dirt of the city’s streets went into the pores of his skin and the fabric of his clothing. He presented the appear- ance of an impressionist painting done in a neutral gray tint. The two companions of the young man had followed him from the car, but with much less speed and eagerness, and ar- rived on the scene of his explorations in time to watch his last struggles with the dust. They choked back- their frightened hearts from their thraats, parched by long thirst, and tenderly raised the form of their companion,limp after his great efforts to do an aerial song and dance, fully ex- pecting to find him a corpse. He was not dead, however. He blinked once or twice and then asked, in a voice faint from hii tremendous effort: “Wh’ stree’s thish?” Meanwhile some one had run over to the first precinct station and given the alarm that there was a man lying dead in the avenue. The patrol wagon responded in haste, and a great crowd collected. ‘The Stanley of the upper sections of the atmosphere revived wonderfully upon the appearance of the familiar vehicle. He was standing in the embrace of his two faithful friends, and, when they endeavored to put him inside, with the humane inten- tion of sending him to the hospital, he drew back in the attitude of Caesar de- clining the Roman crown. He would none of it, and when a drunken man will have none of it, whatever it is, he be- comes as stubborn as a mule. He had his way. He had none of it. After an unsuccessful effort on the part of the policemen to convince the man that he was a fit subject for the operating table, the patrol wagon was driven off end the two friends went away with their companion, with his asphaltum decora- tions tacking vigorously between them. ‘Then the small boys had a war dance on a wonderfully clean spot on the avenue pavement. ———— The Memorial Bridge. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: ARLINGTON, Alexandria County, Va. ‘A lifetime spent in thts region convinces me that there is lack of congressional ap- 'preciation as to the memorial bridge idea. The bridge propositian is full of evident advantages for the people of Washington, the residents of meigkboring Virginia and the coun@less thousands of visitors who come from all parts af the Union to wan- der through the most noteworthy resting place of our herofc national -dead—Arling- ton. This section suffered severely during the war, it being-the camping ground for the main army, for reserve forces and the drill ground for new recruits. Our churches, school houses and homes were entirely de- stroyed. We found ourselves when the war was over with npthing but houseless, fenceless, treeless land, with nothing to make good our losses. The government took ‘possession of 1,100 acres of land, known as the Lee estate. Here they’ settled several thousand of col- ored péople from all*parts of the south. No taxes have been paid on this: property, and for many years'the government receiv- ed a'rental from:ail-oceupants on this land. ‘This: county furnished ‘public'schools for these people who were settled'on this es- tate, and took care of their poor; they were not allowed to suffer. In order to do this property holders here were taxed heay- ily. They bore all this patiently; they have not importuned Congress year after year for relief, but have felt that the time would come when in some way our prospects would brighten. Now, it seems, tha time has come when Congress can, in a measure, give relief to us as a people by giving a bridge that will put us in direct communication with the national capital and open to that city this most beautiful section of country—easy of access and soon to be settled by a class of people that will help us to rebuild our churches and school hcuses. The proposed approaches to the bridge on either side of the river are in possession of the govern- ment, so that the principal cost would be the bridge proper. =. I trust that this session of Congress may see fit to take the honor into their own hands of passing the bill for this grand memorial bridge. Mrs. 8. E, BAILEY. a A Mtue of Informatton.

Carpenter's illustrated talk on “The Chinese of Today” attracted a large audience last evening to Metzerott Hall, where they listened to a most inter- esting account of the character and racial Personality of this unique people. It was the second of Mr. Carpenter’s lectures, and was fully up to the one on Japan, and that is saying a good deal. His latest trip to the orient having been made so recently Mr. Carpenter is in a position to speak in- telligently of the causes and effects of the present war between China and Japan, and this has furnished him with an unusually interesting topic. He does not confine him-+ self to this side of the picture, however, as in his lecture last ‘evening he went at length into the geography of China, its people, cities, means of transportation, government, army and navy, hotel life and many other details, which went far to give his hearers an insight into the char- acter and daily life of the Chinese. He also recounted a number of his own personal experiences when he was entertained in right royal style as a guest, together with ex-Secretary John W. Foster, at a ban- quet given by Li Hung Chang, and on other festive occasions. The pictures which il- lustrated the lecture were fine specimens of the photographic art, beautifully colored, and served to make the evening all the more enjoyable. It would be hard to imagine a more distinguished audience than was present last evening, containing as it did representatives of many of the em- bassies and legations, as well as others prominent in social and political life. ‘Io- night the lecture on China will be repeated and tomorrow and’ Saturday evenings Mr. Carpenter will speak of Corea, the hermit Kingdom. On Saturday Mr. Carpenter will give a matinee for the school children, when he will talk on Corea. The admission will be 25 cents to all parts of the house.
