George Edward Curtis, who died Febru- ary 3, at the residence of Thomas Hart and Luther Fuller in this city, was a na- tive of Connecticut. He was well known among the scientific men of Washington, having occupied positions in the weather bureau, the geological survey and the Smithsonian Institution, He graduated from Yale College in ISS2 with special hon- ors in mathematics, and later had the de- gree of M. A. conferred upon him by the me institution. Soon after his gradua- tion he received an appointment in the signal office, where he remained until 1887. In the fall of that year he accepted the professorship of mathematics in Washburn Col Kansas. He was among the early hydrographers engaged by the geological survey in ISSS, to study the streams of the arid region of the west, with a view to a general system of irrigation. From 180 to Ist Mr. Curtis was connected with the Smithsonian Institution, his principal work being the preparation cf the volume of Smithsonian meteorological tables. Failing health induced him to try the more promising climates of Arizona and Colorado, but finding no relief, he returned to this city during the last days of Janu- ary. His remains have been taken to his ome, in Birmingham, Conn. — Emancipation Co mtion Called. James W.

ALL MANKIND 1S KIN Prof, Mason Talks of Similarities in Cul- - ture. Annual Address Before the Anthro- pological Society—Proof of the Common Origin of Man. The Washington Anthropological Society met in the auditorivm of Columtian Uni- versity last evening to hear the annual ad- dress of Prof. Otis Mason, the retiring president of the society. The subject was milarities in Culture; Their Origins, Dispersions and Varieties.” The address dealt with the similarities found in all parts of the world among nations and tribes widely separated in location and conditions. These similarities appear in customs, folk lore, products, industries, beliefs and divinities. These similarities, it was shown, may exist because separated peoples really are identical in origin, or they may have manifested like character- istics and products because by teaching or contact they have acquired the processes which result in these similarities. Travel had peopled all parts of the earth, from Egypt to Terra del Fuego, and thus it may he that similarities in different peo- ples were spread by tramps, voyagers and traders. Cocoanuts and Chinese coins are found in Alaska, Eskimo fishboats in Ha- waii and Venetian beads in all parts of the earth. Identity and contact are the first two theories to account for similarity of cultures. A Common Humanity. A third is the scmewhat philosophical view that like aclivities spring from a common humanity in similar environments and stages of development. That is, that all men are of one blood and under the in- fluence-of like climatic conditions and nat- ural environment the same wants, joys and distresses have developed similarly from age to age. The various beliefs in this direetion have led to the formation of three schools upon this subject—the eth- negraphic, the accultural and the anthro- plogical. Prof. Mason reduced the mat- ter to eight axioms: (1) Similarities in our day are due to the same workmen, tool or shop; (2) are produced through hereditary 1 traditional teaching; (3) come by bor- rowing, lending, slavery and conquest; (4) get about over the world by barter ‘and ) arise through like psychic: al attributes of race or specie: ) spring from similar attributes of env rerment; (7) occur incidentally or by chance, as the Greek word potamos (river) and the name Potomac, and (8) spring frem opposite causes, as where subter rean houses are constructed in one coun- try to escape heat and in another to. get out of the cold Different Grades of Similarities. Of course there are different grades of similarities, and the student of them must be aware of the dissimilarities due to dif- ferent men or factors, even in the same group or community, to the different stocks or families of the same race, to different historic periods, to different en- vironments or geographic areas, or sources of supply, or to variations in the human species in comparison with natural forces or other living species. Thus he would also note in one instance a merely casual resemblance. then, perhaps, a similarity in a single object or custom, or in a process or activity, in language, social structure. beliefs or religion; or in another case ke might observe a similarity in practically all respects, and even clear identities he- tween two separate peoples. A definition of “similarit said the speaker. if re- quired of the technographer, artist, lin- guist, sociologist or mythologist, would lead to a statement something as follows: (1) All materials used by different people: vary; (2) methods of producing vary: (3) tools or means by which things are made vary. The address considered the inde pendent origin theory, the single specie: theory, the areas of characterization, and race and stock resemblances. . By a rising vote the audience thanked Prof. Mason for his painstaking addre: > COX OVERRU JUDGE =D. A Curious Situation in the Case of Rodda, the Fugitive. In an opinion written by Mr. Justice Mor- ris the Court of Appeals yesterday re- versed the decision of Judge Cox in the case of Walter A. Rodda, who last fall was released from the District jail by Judge Cox on a writ of habeas corpus. Redda, who fs a British subject, was com- mitted to Jail by the Police Court in Octo- ber to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of grand larceny. On the 25th of that month he was arraigned In the Police Couft on a charge of petit larceny, and, being convicted, was sentenced to for sixty days. The same day the g) jury ignored the charge of grand larceny, and a release from that charge was sent down to the jail. Through the carelessness or negligence of Warden Leonard Rodda was released from confinement on that parer, although the prisoner was at the time serving the sixty-day sentence of the Police Court. Several days later the warden realized that he had assisted the prisoner in effecting an involuntary es- cape. Mr. Leonard sent out one of his guards to retake the Englishman. That was done and the man was locked up in jail. Thereupon he prayed for his release upon a writ of habeas corpus, his conten- tion being that Mr. Leonard had no au- thority in law to retake him, and was alone responsible for his negligence. Judge Cex sustained Rodda’s contention and di- rected his release. Mr. Leonard noted an to the Court of Appeals. He failed fect his appeal bond, it was claimed deron Carlisle, Rodda’s counsel, appellate court was asked to di miss the appeal. The Court of Appeal however, holds that as the United States and rot Mr. Leonard was the real defend- ant in the habeas corpus proceedings no appeal bond was recessary.The court holds, also, that the good of society permits no vicarious atonement in criminal cases, and that the warden of the jail cannot, there- fcre, be punished for his negligence by al- lowing the prisoner to remain at liberty. The decision of Judge Cox is therefore reversed. ‘An amusing feature of the case is that while the Court of Appeals holds that the man was wrongfully released from cu: tedy by Judge Cox the fact remains that the Englishman is at large and out of the jurisdiction of the court, it is said. Seay Oratorical Contest. The second annual oratorical contest of the Hamline Chapter of the Epworth League was held last evening in the Ham- line Church. In addition to the orations there were a number of musical selections rendered during the evening. “Conforma- tion’ was the subject chosen by Mr. Mark A. Watson. Mr. Edward A. Playter spoke “Against Chinese Immigration,” the question “Is a Lawyer Justified in De- fending a Client He Knews to Be Guilty? was discussed by Mrs. O. W. Goodwin, and sducation. decision of the judges, Mrs. W. } Springer, J. Howard Gore, Charles Davies, M. Brosius, George W. Hulick and O. A. Brown, was in favor of Mr. Watson. Mr. Playter received hororable mention. The prize was a gold Epworth League badge, and was presented to the winner by Mr. Brosius. c, B. Campbell expatiated on Tl ——— An Unfortanate Case. Agent Wilson of the Humane Society to- day sent to the Hope and Help Mission an eighteen-year-old girl named Marion Han- cock, who came here from Nanjemoy, Charles county, Md., because she was be- trayed by a man whom she loved. Marion was poorly clad in a calico dress and black coat, and she seemed to feel her condition keerly, and does not want to return home until the evidences of her downfall have isappeared. She left her home early in November and came here on a river steamer, telling her parents she was com- ing here to work for her living. On ac- count of her cordition she had to sive up her service place and has been in Alex- andria several days. Yesterday afternoon she reached here on the 4 o'clock boat, and at the wharf she was seen by Policeman Dean of the police boat. He learned from her the sad story of her life in Nanjomoy and sent her to the police station. She re- mained there last night and was turned over to Agent Wilson this morning. This officer talked kindly to the unfortunate girl and assured her that she will receive proper attention, AMUSEMENTS. The Grand Opera House.—While there may be some variation in opinions of Mrs. Potter and Kyrle Bellew as inter- preters, the proposition that they are en- titled to the esteem of theater patrons for their energy and industry in presenting new plays of an important character fs one which will come pretty near commanding unanimous indorsement. The incident upon which “Charlette Corday,” in which they appeared at the Grand Opera House last night, is written is one of the most dramatic episodes of Frerch history, which at all times is strongly flavored with the theatric. As an example of patriotic fanat- icism Charlotte Corday ranks almost with Joan d’ Arc, and the materials which her cereer afford to the playwright are of a cuality calculated to inspire the loftiest ex- ertions. The episodes possess a thrilling interest as they appear in historic narra- tive, which insures their impressiveness as transferred to the drama. The tale of Marat, the fiend, and of his assassination by the girl whos2 patriotic enthusiasm arevsed her to a deed of norror needs but to be told to produce a vivid effect upon the imagination. The play alters the story somewhat in adapting it to stage require- ments, but the preductien does not elabo- rate the possibilities of the theme beyond very discreet bounds. The title role is assumed by Mrs. Potter with the conscien- ticusness that characterizes all her work. In many respects she has improved on her former methods. Mr. Bellew gives a vigorously and carefully drawn picture of the part of Marat, which earned him hearty recogniticn. It is one of the most gratifying performances that Mr. Bellew has ever given. Tonight “Francillon” will be the attraction. National Theater.—That Julia Marlowe's popularity has not suffered in this city by her marriage was fully demonstrated by the large audience that assembled at the Natioral Theater last night. She appeared, too, in a new character, that of Lady Teazle in the brilliant comedy ‘fhe School for Scardal.” Miss Marlowe, or rather, Mrs. Taber, in her conception of this part carries the country girl all the way through and Goes not develop into the grand city dame,as the author evidently intended. Her own cherminy personality carries her with ker audience. She is hardly up to the standard set by those who have made Lady Teazle famous in the past. Mr. Taber is good as Joseph Surface, as is also Mr. Everill as Sir Peter Teazle, while Mr. ‘Thos. Coleman as Charles Surface proved the po: ion of fine high comedy powers. ‘The character is an extremely difficult one properly perform, and that his work es favorably with that of John Drew is sufficient prais The best work of the evening, however, was done by Miss Rose Eytinge, whose Mrs. Candour w splendidly carried out in every detail and showed the result of careful udy and long experience. Tonight Mrs. per will be seen in “Twelfth Night.” Butler's Bijou Theater.—Peals of laugh- ter and a running small fire of merriment accompanied ne Prodigal Father"? through all his complicated peregrinations at Butler's Bijou Thegter last night. While the plot is loosely constructed, ample op- portunity is afforded for clever dancing, comical songs and funny situations, all of which are made the most of by a company of players well adapted to their parts. A pretty feature of the entertainment s the presence in the audience of troop: little children, former playmates of E Lower, who last evening was the sta traction. The graceful little danseuse was overwhelmed with flowers and applause, and after the performance the stage was filled with the children and their parents, anxious to welcome back their friend. Kernan’s Lyceum _ Theater.—‘‘Bobby” Manchester's “Night Owls” is one of the best burlesque companies on the road, and, although having visited Washington re- cently, they were again greeted by a crowded house at Kernan’s last night. The olio has been strengthened by the addition of Charles G. Kilpatrick and the Sansoni Sisters. The former is a wonderful o legged bicyclist, and the Sansoni Sister give an exhibition after the order of dow. They handle dumb bells and heavy weights, and conclude their act with one carrying a piano about the stage while a performer is playing a lively air upon it. haret, the clever dancer, was well re- ved. Others on the bill that created laughter and applause were Odell and Page, the funny acrobatic comedians; Mul- len and Dunn, in a_comi s ; Cloud and Melville, Topack the very artistic series of living K ‘The show begins and ends with a clever burlesque, the opening one being “The All Night Hotel,” and the latter “The Devil Among Women.” Both are richly mounted as to scenery and ccstumes. Mrs. Paur’s Recital.—Seldom has there been so large or so enthusiastic an s ence present at a purely piano recital, es- pectally when given in the afternvon, as that which gathered in the Universalist Church yesterday to listen to Mme. Emil Paur, the wife of the conductor of the Bcston Symphony Orchestra. Mrs. Paur proved herself a thorough musician, and fully realized the anticipations of her friends. She made no display of virtuosit but did her work honestly She had an admirably selected pro; ccmpositions that appealed to the feelings of her audience, and she demonstrated that she was thoroughly en rapport with her author in every instance. Her touch is deli- cate, yet firm, and each note is brought out clear and distinct, no matter how rapid the run. Her technique is perfect, and her tone shading is artistic and always satis- fying. Among her selections were Beet- hoven's variations in C minor, two scherzi by Schubert, Schumann's “Bird as a Pro- net,” an intermezzo by Brahms, Chopin's altz in E minor, a minuet by Bizet, a Paganini-Liszt etude and an intermezzo by Mr. Paur. All were interpreted with true musicianly spirit and all were appreciated by her audience. It is hoped that Mme. Paur may be heard here again. ‘Academy.—Sandow, the monarch of mus- cle, at the head of the Trocadero vaud villes, appeared at the Academy even- ing, and his popularity was proved again by the royal reception that was tendered him. It was a return engagement, but, nevertheless, every seat in the house was filled and standing room was at a pre- mivm. It was an athletic show almost without a break, but such an exhibition of athletics as is rarely seen anywhere. San- dow, always a great favorite, has sur- rounded himself with a collection of people of the very first rank, each peerless in his own particular specialty. The strong man has been sick from the grip, and the an- nouncement was made that he had been ordered not to attempt his most perilous feats of strength last evening. He did not lift a few horses or a score of people in his hands, but he still gave a most inter- esting and amazing exhibition. What was even more, he promised to go through his ce Seeteateesoetonteese a tpeeceaenententntendeteteetetetett Soot ‘Rheumatism z HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA PROVED THAT Tr CURES. Mr. R. A.

Dunham, the bar performer; Scottie, thes trained or rather educated collie; Tom Browne, the whistler; Amann, the impersonator, and Billy Van, the black-face entertainer and monolog- ist, completed a programsthat would be hard to equal in the vaudeville line. —_—S= MASKS AND MERRIMENT. Arion Society Enjoys a Ball With Fantastic Pasticipants. Masks and merriment, joy and jollity were prominent last evening in Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, where tbe Arign Singing Soci- ety held one of the masked balls for which {t is famous. Early in the evening strange creatures, in charge of queer-look- ing people, entered the hall and made them- selves at home. The motley procession continued steadily until about 10 o'clock, when the auditorium was literally packed with a jostling, good-natured, chaotic con- glomeration. The form of introduction was apparently unknown, for everyone knew everybody else, for the time being, at least. A stately king tripped the light fantastic with a dusky female hailing from South Carolina, while an uncouth person; who, in Police Court parlance, would be termed a “vag,” seemed happy as he twirled around with a person in his arms wearing the uniform of the Salvation Army. The representations were numerous, some artistic and some decidedly amusing. One group cf nine persons styled itself “Our Hon. Excise Board, D. C.” A small boy, accompanied it with a sign to show “Its influence.” A bevy of females, stylishly clad, made a most creditable “Passing Show.” In one corner of the hall was es- tablished a full-fledged cotton plantation, the aged darkies busily at work therein, singing at intervals plantation melodies in a mauner true to the south. The Salvation Army, with its customary tambourines, Jent a religious aspect to the occasion, and old ocean was called to mind: by the presence of a quartet of handsomely costumed sailor girls, bearing a huge anchor of flowers. When the announcement of prizes was made it was in favor of Mrs. L. Babcock for the best female costume. Miss Mollie Eggloft was next best, while P. E. Dement was declared to be the best male character. Julius Peyser was not far behind him when the prizes were handed out. Miss Lena Kremp, Marie Kremp and Emma Canter and Messrs. D. Rosenthal, I.
