At the stated communication of Acacia Lodge, No. 18, F. A. A. M., on Tuesday evening, the exercises were of more than usual interest.

F. Fuller of the Treasury De- pavement in an appropriate speech, full of wise and instructive counsel. Past Master Fuller is one of Acacia’s oldest and most bighiy valued members, and his address, rich id eloquent in fraternal reminis- cences, was received with appreciative at- tention by the large number of brethren in attendance. —— Claims Damages From the Railroads. ‘The Baltimore and Potomac and the Phila- delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Companies have been made defendants in a suit filed by Daniel M. Griffith, who claims $15,000 damages. The plaintiff al- leges that the tracks of the companies have been run so near his house, K between 3d and 4th streets southeast, as to greatly lessen its value, besides subjecting him to much annoyan ee ee Regimental War Libraries. To the Fditor of The Evening Star: Noticing Senator Manderson’s account of the regimental library of the nineteenth Ohio infantry, I desire to state that the very first thing I did, in April, 1861, as chaplain of my regiment, the tenth New York velunteers, was to go around among the publishers there, and they gave lib- erally t rd making us one of the finest libraries, of hundreds of volumes. The officers were so ple with it that they had made a fine double-hinged traveling case, with side handles, and wanted to pay me for collecting the books, which on re- they gave me a vote of thanks. »sed the librar: se looked like a veling organ. The only trouble I found was that the books r r got lower down than the line officers, the privates having seldom a chance at them. Returning home at the close of the war, they took it with them.

Tributes to the Dead President of Columbian University—Speeches of Eulogy Delivered. The hall of the Columbian University was well filled last evening by those who fad come to do honor to the memory and work of the late president of the univer- sity, the lamented Dr. James Clarke Well- ing. The memorial exercises were conduct- ed under the joint auspices of the univer- sity and of the socities and organizations of which he was a member. The platform was tastefully decorated with palms arid flowers, and was occupied by the repre- sentatives of the different organizations, while in the audience many of those most prominent in educational, scientific and social circles of the capital were noticed. The actirig presidént of the university, the Rev. S. H. Greene, presided, and in opening the exercises paid glowing tribute~ to his predecessor. It was no ordinary occasion which had called them together, he said, for they had come to do honor to one who was foremost in learning, and one whese life had been devoted to the progress and welfare of his race. It was fitting, therefore, that for such a purpose they should gather where he had worked and best been known. Dr. Welling, he said, touched life on its better side, and the nobility) of his character called out the best of all with whom he came in contact. Dr. Greene then introduced Prof. S. P. Langley o? the Smithsonian Institution, who stated’ that he made the acquaintance of Dr. Welling at a comparatively late pericd of both their lives, and he then spoke of [ir. Welling’s labors as a regent of the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Well- ing, he said, postessed, as no other man possessed, a knowledge of the unwritten law of the institution, and was a typical member of the board of regents. He was @ non-secticnal man, and had the great advantage of being a pupil and a close friend of the late Prof. Henry. As presi- dent of the board of regents, Dr. Welling fermed great and valuable work, and was untiring and conscientious to the greatest degree. Prof. Langley spoke of the great learning and li*erary abilities of Dr. Well- ing, and said .bat his death had robbed the world of a s;reat work which he had schemed to write, a political history of the civil war. As a Philosopher. Dr. Greene read a letter from Represen- Yative W. L. Wilsen of West Virginia, who was to have represented the alumni of the university, regretting that public du- ties prevented his attendance. A quartet, composed of Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff, 0; Mrs. Eulalie Domer Kheem, alt Mosher, tenor, and J. Henry Kaiser, baritone, with Percy S. Foster, di- rector and accompanist, then rendered a suitable selection, after which Major J. W. Powel) of the Philosophical Society spoke of Dr. Welling as a deep philosopher, wonderfully erergetie and profoundly learn- eg. No man better understood how to sep- arate the significant from (he insignificant in pailosophical studies and added to that he was a most graceful and convincing writer. Mazor Powell related a conversa- tion he had with Dr. Welling last sum- mer when the latter, speaking of his pro- posed resignation as president of the uni- versity, expressed much pleasure at the prospect of then being able to devote the rest of his life to philosophical research. Major Powell also spoke of the great friendship that existed between them and read a poem which he had written after their conversation last summer. In the University. After the quartet had rendered “Rock of Ages,” Prof. A. J. Huntington, the senior professor o% the university, spoke of Dr. Welling’s work as president of the uni- versity. He referred to Dr. Welling’s la- bors as editor of the National Intelligencer and stated that Dr. Welling’s articles dur- ing the war gaincd for him not only a position as one of the foremost of Ameri- can writers, but did much to influence the conservative thought of that pericd. When Dr. Welling became president of the uni- versity, it was a weak and struggling in- stitution, but by kis perseverance and wis- dom he had lived to see it one of the great universities of the land. Dr. Welling, he said, aeserved special mention as a pro- fessor and possessed that rare accomplish- ment of beng a successful teacher. Dur- ing his presidency the students had in- creased from three hundred and twenty- six to more than nine hundred annually, and the professors from twenty-five to more than one hundred. Above all, said Prof. Huntington, Dr. Welling was a moral and deeply religious man, always taking ard following Christ as an example. Prof. Otis T. Mason of the Anthropolog- ical Society said he was commissioned by | the society, of which Dr. Welling was pres- | ident, to lay upon his grave a garland of flowers, and that the tribute might be in | keeping with his comprehensive mind and ange of studies the peoples of the earth ithin the circles of anthropogical Investi- gation had contributed their national tlow- ers. As Dr. Welling loved to sit at the feet of sages and singers in Palestine and to take counsel of the Great Teacher and Great Apostle, he had therefore entwined within the wreath roses of Sharon, lilies of the valley, cedar spray from Lebanon and hyssop from the garden of the great king. Prof. E. M. Gallaudet of the Literary So- clety spoke of Dr. Welling's great literary abilities. He gave several interesting rem- iniscences of Dr. Welling, saying that once when President Lincoln had sent an open letter to the National Intelligencer Dr. Welling had the courage to return the letter that a certain phrase in it which of- fended his rhetorical conception might be corrected. President G. G. Hubbard of the National Geographic Society said that Dr. Welling was a many-sided man in his learning and accomplishrnents, and speaking of his work as presiden: of the university, he remark- ed that during his presidency there had been twice as many graduates as there had been during the fifty of his prede- cessors. Dr. Welling and the late W. W. Corcoran had been great friends, and It was because of such friendship that Mr. Corcoran had done so much for the uni- versity. After Dr. Greene had read letters from Justices Harland and Brewer of the United- States Supreme Court regretting their in- ability to be present, the assemblage was dismissed by thr pronouncing of the bene- diction by the F.ev. Dr. Childs. 3 A Limited Edition. No copies of The Star’s Almanac and Handbook obtainable after the present edition is exhausted.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Can you inform the public where and to whom the returns under the income tax should be sent by citizens of the District? ‘The forms sent out simply say that return must be made to the collector or deputy.

AMUSEMENTS. © z “Dorothy.""—The players of Columbian University will repeat thelr performance of “Dorothy” at the Grand Opera House on the 19th Instant. Since these young gentlemen made their first appearance be- fore the public they have continued to re- hearse and they have~now reached a high degree of excellence, both in their singing and acting. The ballet, too, has been prac- ticing diligently, and some excellent terp- sichorean work may be. expected. The players have resolved to devote all the receipts over and above the actual ex- Ppenses to the relief of the po@r of the Dis- trict, through the medium of the citizens’ relief committee. This fact, aside from the merit of the entertainment which will be given, should serve to fill the oprea house on the night of the performance. “Cinderetla.”—The fairy spectacular ballet of “Cinderella, or the Good Fairy and the Little Glass Slipper,” will be presented at the Grand. Opera House on Wednesday next. There will be two performances, one in the afternoon and one at night. It will be presented by Prof. George Sheldon and bis pupils, and for the production new scenery has been especially painted, new ecstumes. have been made. There will be a magic fountain, real ponies-and a golden chariot, a grand transformation scene, and the effects will be enhanced by powerful eclored calcium lights. Little Edna Hurst will be the Cinderella, Alice Norris and Laura Laupp the two proud sisters; Ralph Lee Galt, Pedro; Nellie Hurst, Felix; Chas.

These organizations have vis- ‘ted Washington before and their excellent work is well remembered. Both clubs are strorger now than ever, and it is expected | that the program will be one of the best ever presented by a college organization. The Lehigh men residing here intend to make this occasion quite a social event and it will be under the patronage of a large number of ladies prominent in s0- cial circles. Illustrated Lecture—Dr. Ambrose J. Faust delivered the last lecture of the win- ter course at St. John’s College Tuesday evening. The subject discussed was ‘The Leader of the Oxford Movement and His Contemporaries.” ‘he lecture was inter- esting and instructive and showed the earnest study which the distinguished lec- turer had bestowed upon his subject. Mr. Stoddard’s Switzerland Lecture — Switzerland is the most interesting to the traveler of the countries of Europe. With the stereopticon and the camera as his aids, Mr. Stoddard, at the Academy of Music last night, conducted a large party through the land of mountains, beginning with lovely Interlaken and ending with a view of the Matterhorn by moonlight. It was as if one were making the trip in an aertal car, surrounded by all comforts, safe from wintry blasts, while the guide de- tailed in well rounded sentences, reaching eloquence at times, the glories of the Alps. The loftiest heights were climbed, the grandest scenes were viewed, the awful secrets of nature were disclosed, while he who enjoyed these things had but to lie back tn his seat and feast his eyes. Through the vale of Lauterbrunnen, climbing the mountain at Murren to see the sun rise, picking one’s way over the Grindelwald glacier, one in time reaches lovely Lucerne. A sail is taken on the lake, a visit paid to Tell's Chapel, a glance given to the chalets and gardens along the shore, then a ride is taken over the Axen- strasse, that triumph of engineering skill. The Devil's bridge, the pass and monastery of St. Bernard, the vale of Chamounix, the ascent of Mount Blanc, Geneva, with its interesting associations; the Castle of Chillon and Rousseau’s island, then on to Zermatt, where the Matterhorn, “the most extraordinary feature of the Alps,” is seen —the tourist takes his way under Mr. Stod- dard’s guidance, awed and yet feeling much like that American who wrote in the mountain hotel register, ‘Thank heaven, we raise no such hills as these in New York state.” Switzerland is to receive an- other and a final representation tonight. Tomorrow evening Mr. Stoddard wili give his classic and absorbingly interesting lecture on Rome, in some respects the finest in his list. This lecture will also be given at the matinee on Saturday after- noon, which will give a welcome -oppor- tunity to many to whom evening attend- ance is inconvenient. Mr. Finney cn the Passion Play.—The lecture by Mr. Lewis Harvie Finney last night at Metzerott’s, on the famous Ober- ammergau Passion Play was listened to by a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Finney possesses a fine voice and a pleas- ant delivery, and told the story of the greatest of dramas with simplicity that well befitted the subject. He began by giv- ing an account of the origin of the play, showed the pictures of the principal actors and told of the simple life of these Ba- varian peasants and of their training from the days of their childhood Yn the Passion Play. His description of the play itself took up the subject at the first act, the entry into Jerusalem, and followed on through the different scenes, portraying the life of Christ from this point to the resur- rection. The lecture is replete with scrip- tural quotations, or, perhaps, it would be more proper to say with quotations from the play, and the illustrations are won- derfully realistic and impressive. The speaker was at times almost dramatic in his delineations of the wonderful drama, and showed decided ability as an elocu- tionist in pertraying the emotions of the different actors in the play. Stavenhagen-Gerardy.—The concert to be given at Metzerott’s Music Hall tonight by Mr. Bernard Stavenhagen and Jean Gerardy promises to be one of the most interest- ing musical events of the season. Mr. Stavenhagen is a pianist of great abil- ities, and has won general praise wherever he has appeared in this coun- try. Tonight he will play Haydn's variations in F minor, Beethoven's ‘‘Moon- light Sonata,” a Chopin nocturne and waltz in G flat major, Mendelssohn's “Scherzo” in E minor, a Chopin-Liszt polonatse, the Paganini-Liszt ‘La Campanella,” and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12. Mas- ter Gerardy, the wonderful boy violoncel- list, who has astonished and delighted the most critical audiences, will play Servats’ fentasia on Schubert’s “L'Desir’ waltz, an andante by Rdoux, a spinnlied and tar- antella by Popper and a Chopin nocturne. With such a program, and it being the first visit of these two artists to this city, the hall should be crowded.

Carroll Institute Hall.—A concert will be given at Carroll Institute Hall on Friday, February 22, at 2:30 p.m., by Miss De- laney, who will be assisted by Mrs. A. V. Holmes, soprano; Miss Abbie Johnson, reader; Mr. Chas. F. Miller, comic soloist, and the Olmo Mandolin and Banjo Orches- tra. ae aes A CONCERT FOR CHARITY. Good Muste, but a Smal Attendance at Convention Hall. A large attendance was the only thing lacking Jast evening to make the charity concert, held in Convention Hall as great @ success as could be desired. There was nothing but praise to be bestowed upon every feature presented on the stage. The audience, comprising 1,500 persons, would have given to any other auditorium in Waghington an appearance of fullness, but it seemed a small gathering for Convention Hall. Prof. Fanciulli and the Marine Band be- gan the exercises with “The Marine Band March,” a lively composition that immedi- ately put every one in unusually good humor. The Choral Society, directed by Prof. Josef Kaspar, gained unstinted ap- plause by its rendition of ‘The Heavens Are Telling,” for Haydn's “Creation,” and later the outburst was repeated at the conclusion of the ‘Hallelujah Chorus,” from Handel's “Messiah.” “Last Night” was the selection sung by the Washington Lady Quartet, comprising Miss Myers, first soprano; Miss Dexter, second soprano; Miss Dillon, first contralto, and’ Mrs. Taylor, second contralto. A de- termined encore was rewarded with “Way Down Upon the Suwanee River,” which was greatly enjoyed. @ selection ‘from “The Knickerbockers” was given as @ burytone solo by Mr. Charles EB. Rice, in bis usual faultless manner. He was ac- companied by Prof. Harry Wheaton How- ard. Mr. Lucius Perry Hills of Georgia, the scuthern humorist, made a most decided hit with the audience. His recitations were in dialect, and he told of an old moun- taineer’s experience at the opera. The au- dience demanded “more,” and Mr. Hills repeated a child’s composition on “Spring.’” He also recited “Swaree Dramatique, which depicted the conduct of a Georgia Congressman at a social function. Be- tween the foregoing numbers the Marine Band rendered the overture to “William Tell,” the “Grand Army Patrol,” the “Dance Persane,” the “Dance of the Imps” and closed the program with “Songs From the South.” The committee which had in charge the arrangements for the concert, comprising Dr. Franklin T.
