Patriotic and Witty Speeches by Many Distinguished Men—Those Who Participated in the Festivities. ete tad ‘The memory of the me: who, by their services or sacrifices during the war of the American revolution,. achteved the. inde- pendence of the American people, was hon- ored lest evening at the Ebbitt House by the members of the District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the American Rev- olution, who gathered thére for their an- nual banquet. It was truly a distinguished party that assembled in the red parlor of the hostelry shortly after 8 o'clock, comprising well- known statesmen, lawyers, warriors and civilians—men who have organized to pro- mote fellowship among the descendants of the heroes of the revolution; to inspire the descendants and the community at large with a more profound reverence for the principles of the government founded by their forefathers; to encourage histori- cal research in relation to the American revolution, and to foster true patriotism generally. As the members arrived they scattered about the room in groups, and for an hour exchanged stories of the do- ings of their grandfathers. Finally, the president of the society, Dr. G. Brown Goode, led the way to the din- ing room, which was appropriately deco- rated for the occasion. Large American flags hid from view the greater portion of the walls: from the chandeliers were sus- pended silk flags, and at one point was placed the handsome stand of colors of the society. A portrait of George Wash- ington was displayed, as were photographs and photographs of autograph letters of Francis Scott Key, Benjamin Franklin and Rev. Samuel Francis Smith. Palms were banked about the room in profusion, After prayer by Chaplain Thomas S. Childs, the members and guests took seats at a table in the shape of a horseshoe, decorated with cut flowers, and for an hour or more diligently discussed an ex- callent menu. At the head of the table, on the right of President Goode, were seat- ed Gen. J. C. Breckinridge, Mr. John’ B. Wight and Justice Brewer, and on the left were John Douglass, Judge John Goode and Gen. T. N. Vincent. Prof. Goode’s Welcome. When the inner man had expressed his satisfaction over the good things, Presi- dent Goode rapped for order, and ad- dressed the gathering>-“As I look upon this assemblage,” said Dr. Goode, “I am reminded of a saying of that good old English divine and peet, George Herbert, ‘Keep good company and you shall be of the number,’ and where was good com- pany to be found if not on an occasion like this.” Dr. Goode spoke of the American character in the men before him, and said that he should like to see it made a part of the education of every student in the high schools, colleges and universities to be- come attached to some such society as the Sons of the American Revolution. He added that he cannot imagine anything which would be more inspiring, more in- structive, or which would be more certain to develop in the student the capacity for good citizenship. ‘The speaker dwelt on the history of the society during its existence of five years and the wonderful things in the way of organization accomplished. He also de- scribed in what new lines the efforts of the patriotic societies are to be exerted in the future. Dr. Goode quoted Noah Webster to show the superiority of the American educational plan, and he was interrupted by applause when he stated that in the public libraries of America there are twice as many printed volumes as all the rest in the world. In closing Dr. Goode sata, quoting Mr. Depew: “No people have ever founded a state which has become a great nation, have ever preserved and enlarged their liberty, unless they had largely developed the qualities of imagination and sentiment. They must deify the heroes to whose valor and statesmanship they owe. their origin; they must picture in the eye of the mind the battlefields upon which their fore- fathers fought and conquered. This re- public has advanced or stood still just in Proportion as its people have revered the men of the revolution and practiced the principles of the Declaration of Independ- ence and of Washington’s farewell ad- dress.”” When the applause which followed the address had subsided the presiding officer announced Mr. John B. Wight as toast- master. Mr. Wight explained that the short time available to arfange for the banquet prevented a larger attendance, and then he called upon Justice Brewer for a speech. The latter responded in a laugh-producing vein. Justice Brewer's Speech. “I am reluctant to make a speech at this hour of tke night,” began Justice Brewer, “for if we followed the example of our forefathers we would have been in bed long before this hour.” Justice Brewer then remarked that silver is the burning question of the day, and added that ‘per- haps some of his hearers may have read in the papers that a discussion on the topic is being held. The speaker doubted that George Washington was a gold bug or a silver man, but added that it is an estab- lished tradition that Washington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac. “‘He also ‘threw’ a sovereign across theAtlantic,”con- tinued Justice Brewer. “Evidently George thought that sovereigns should not circulate in this country. Since that time gold -has been steadily going out. There is growing something that is to abide here as a feeling of loyalty to the nation,” the speaker went on to say. “Surely it is worthy of the ef- fort of every American citizen to keep warm and strong the love of country—one country, no north, no south, no east, no west, but one United States.” Gen. Breckinridge was next called upon, and he remarked that the society is the representation of a thrill of patriotism that is sweeping through the country. He spoke of Gen. Putnam as a sturdy, resolute, in- domitable patriot; a man whose blood flow- ed triumphantly through his system and who caused all men to say—‘Here is an American.” Gen. Breckinridge declared that the society needs to exist to awaken pa- triotism, there having been, in his opinion, no time when the acts of the forefathers have been sufficiently set forth. “One cannot recall the American revolu- tion without thinking of what Virginia did,” said Toastmaster Wight, “nor can we remember any meeting of the society with- out seeing the genial face of John Goode.” He then called upon Judge Goode. Judge Goode’s Remarks. Judge Goode made a glowing, eloquent speech, in which he lauded without stint the state of Virginia, her acts and her sons. He began by stating that Virginia has always been distingutshed for a love of liberty and a sturdy independence. The lawyer then reviewed in an unusually in- teresting manner the colonial history of Virginia. “It is no vain boast of ours,” declared Judge Goode, “that this great na- tion was in a great part the creation of the hands of Virginia. Look at her great men —Henry, Jefferson, Mason, Marshall, Madi- son and Washington. Unfortunately,” he said in closing, “‘the Virginians of the pres- ent day are not making history, but we deem it a pious duty to preserve that. al- ready made, and I assure you the sons of Virginia will always stand by the flag of the nation.” Judge Goode’s remarks were received with much enthusiasm, and then Gen. Vin- cent was called to the front. Gen. Vincent gave a highly interesting retrospect of George Washington, from 1753, when he was a major and bore dispatches from the governor of Virginia to the French com- mandant of a fort in the region above the present city of Pittsburg. He also read a lengthy extract from the message of Pres- ident Polk to Congress in 1847, referring to Washington. Gen. Vincent submitted that the pledge of the society to its objects, among others to carry on the purposes re- ferred to in the injunctions of Washington in- his farewell address, requires of the Sons of the American Revolution unalter- able oppositicn to all movements that may tend to characterize parties by geographi- cal discriminations. Gen. O. B. Willcox, the next speaker, stated his belief that there ought to be a war at least once in every generation to keep burning the flame of patriotism. Representative Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio’ made an amusing reference to Put- nam and to Virginia, after which he ex- pressed his love of liberty and resistance of arbitrary power. The greatness of Wash- ington as a soldier, he thought, consisted of one thing, that which made Caesar the greatest eral of his day—rapidity of Movemen: Ex-District Commissioner John W. Doug- lass made a brief, humorous address, and then, shortly after 1 a.m., the meeting was declared edjourned. Those Who Participated. Those who occupied scats at the table were Dr. G. Brown Goode, Gen. J. C.Breck- inridge, U. 8. A.; Judge John Goode, Con- troller C. H. Mansur, Gen. O. B. Willcox, U. 8. A.; Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, Capt. C. D. Cowles, U. 8. A.; Justice David J.

The season of Lent began today and in the churches where the period of forty days preceding Easter is observed services Were inaugurated which will continue through the allotted time. In the social world this season is taken advantage of to enter upon a quieter round of pleasures and diversions. Ash Wednesday marks the close of the large social functions of s0- elety. It also inaugurates in church cir- cles a period of religious interest and de- votion. Appropriate and special services are held in the Episcopal and Catholic churches. In addition to the usual services in the Episcopal churches a course of lec- tures will be delivered, under the auspices of the Churchmen’s League of the District, beginning on Tuesday of next week and continuing on Tuesday of the following weeks. The subject will be the Christian Man and the speakers and their themes will be as follows: March 5, ‘he Chris- tian Man in Society,” by Rev. George Wm. Douglas, St. John’s Church; March “The Christian Man in the Parish,” Right Re William Paret, Church of the Ascensio. March 19, “The Christian Man in Politics, Right Rev. Leighton Coleman, St. Paul's Church; March 26, ““The Christian Man in the Family,” Right Rev. Alfred M. Town- send, Church of the Epiphany; April 2,““'he Christian Man in Business,” Rev. William A. Bodine, Trinity Church. f ‘At the Church of the Epiphany a series of lectures on Christian ethics will be given in the Sunday school room on Wednésdays at 12:15 p.m., by Rev. J. Macbride Sterrett, D.D., professor of philosophy in Columbian University. In many of the Catholic churches preachers from Baltimore will officiate at a number of the services. The stations of the cross will be made in all the Catholic churches on each Friday night during Lent. Sermons will be delivered on Tuesday and Sunday. At St. Augustine Dr. Garrigan will give a series of six sermons on ‘“I'he Family” on Sundays at 4:30 p.m. At the Catholic University a series of lectures will be given each Thursday after- noon, commencing tomorrow and continu- ing through the Lenten season. They will be “Ethics in the Labor Question,” by C. D. Wright; “Philosophy of St. Thomas,” by Dr. Pace; “The Contest Between the Civil Law of Rome and the Common Law of Engiand,” by M. F. Morris; ‘A Plea for the Common Law,” M. A. Mullin; “The Temple of Jerusalem” and “The Temple of Eze- thiel,” Prof. Hyvernat. ———— Le Cointe Once More. George Le Cointe, the young man who was sentenced to Albany not many years ago for using his pistol on his wife and a man named Frost, at the Globe House, and who was afterward pardoned through the influence of the French legation, is again behind the bars. This time the charge against him is larceny from the person, and he was arrested last evening by Po- liceman Sutton. His arrest was made on a warrant sworn out by a young woman named Dolly Ballard, who is at present re- siding at No. 44 C street northwest, near the Baltimore &nd Ohio depot. This young woman claims thgt she and Le Cointe were intimate friends until some time before Christmas, when, to use her words, she shook him and left town. But Washington offered more attractions than other places ahd she returned. One evening last week, she says, she met him on the street and permitted him to escort her home. Feeling unwell, she says, she permitted him to make her some toddy, which she drank. In a few minutes, she says, she knew noth- ing, and when she regained her senses she discovered that her companion had left the room, and she also charges that her dia- mond earrings and diamond ring, which she wore, had been taken from her. She related her story to Detective Wee- don, and afterward swore cut a warrant charging Le Cointe with larceny from the person. He denies the charge. The case will probably be heard in the Police Court tomorrow. ——.__ Golden Cross Entertainment. Trinity Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, celebrated its second anni- versary last evening, at Golden Cross Hall, southeast, with a complimentary musical and literary entertainment, to its members and friends. The audience was large and appreciative. Knight Lewis B. Ray pre- sided, and the program was introduced by a piano solo by Mrs. Katie Ferguson, fol- lowed’ by selections by the Imperial Banjo and Mandolin Club, composed of Clarence M. Jones, Frank L. Wollard, C. Pearcy Reardon and J. Frank Jones. Grand Commander Perry was then an- nounced, and made an interesting address on the fraternal, beneficial and social fea- tures of the order, and spoke of the per- fect success of Trinity Commandery since its organization, at the close of which he presented Miss Susan A. Langley, noble commander, and Knight W. J. Ray each with a Golden Cross pin, being the prizes won by them for securing members dur- ing the last term. Miss Langley accepted the prizes and trusted that they would be worn with credit to themselves and honor to the order.

The Cantata ‘Bjebekah.”—The can- tata “Rebekah,” whick was 60 suc- cessfully presented at the Mt. Vernon M. E. Church some aime ago, was again given at National Riffes’ Armory last night by a. chorus of sixty wolses,: under the di- rection of Mr. George W, Lawrence. The cantata itself abounds ig much rich har- mony, and the excellence of the voices in the chorus did justlee to the many fine Passages. in it. The :hajl was tastefully decorated with palms, and presented a very showy appearance. Missi Ela Lowdermilk sang the part of Rebekah; Mr. George W. Lawrence, Isaac, and Mr: J. J. Fisher, Eliezer. Mr. Fisher's opening aria, after the evensong by the chorus, was sung in excellent style, and received much ap- plause. Mr. Lawrence’s work is too well known to need any comment here. Miss Ella Lowdermilk possesses a soprano voice of rather a sweet quality, though of mod- erate range, and charmed the audience by her stage presence. The chorus was well balanced and sang in a highly acceptable manner.

It will be for the benetit of the National Homeo- pathic Hospital, and the lady managers of that institution are gratified at the way In which the seats are going. The cast is in every way competent. The chorus, which has illustrated its ability, from a musical standpoint, is as good a male chorus as Washington has ever heard. Singing in the four parts a great many beautiful effects are brought out, which are almost entirely lost in mixed choruses. The following is a list of its members: O. E. Bailey, R. W. Test, E. D.

Wilson, a young man who lives at 1339 L street, is said to be a fire- man by occupation, but his police experi- ence this winter has shown that he pays more attention to cards and races than he does to his other business. Several weeks ago he was arrested in Alexandria because he had in his possession about $65 and a Is the despairing cry of thousands afflicted with ‘unsightly skin diseoses, Do you realize what this @isfiguration means to ecnsitive souls? ” gold watch, and now he is under arrest.| z+ means isolation, seclusion. ee for alleged connection with a stolen bord. The police were notified of the bond case by the treasury officials, and the young man was arrested last night by. Detective Rhodes. When Wilson was arrested In Al- exandria and brought here he told the po- lice that he had won the watch and money at a game of poker in a lumber yard, and as the police could show nothing to the contrary he was released. So far as his connection with the stolen $500 registered bond is concerned the police have to take his word for the circumstances under which he got it, although the affair will be further investigated. According to his story he met a young man, a stranger, near 6th street and Penn- sylvania avenue several weeks ago. The young man had plenty-of money and was willing to defray his (Wilson’s) expenses for his companionship and experience. To- gether they went across the river, in Alex- endria county.where Sambling dens flourish in open violation of law, and dropped $200. ‘Then they went away together and squan- dered» more money. The bond was given him by his newly made acquaintance, as the latter thought he might get in trouble if he kept it in his possession, because of his youth. Wilson’s mother gave him good words of advice, and not knowing what was best for him to do, he tore the bond in pieces and hid it near the Washington monument, where it remained through the snow storm. A few days ago he went and got the pieces and had Paymaster Barry of the Capitol take them to the treasury. It was ascertained that the bond had be- longed to Miss Charlotte Morton and she got a duplicate. Wilson says that his youth- ful companion lives on Corcoran street,and his description -tallies with that of a young man whose adopted mother complained against him some time ago. The police think that they will not have a case against Wilson to take to court. : Rheumatism 18 A FOR Which gives no quarter. It torments its victims day and night. It forbids work or pleasure.

He com- menced taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and be- fore he had finished one bottle his rheumg- tism™had left him, and he was better in every respect.” EDITH BLAKESLEE, ‘Tillotson, Pennsylvania. z : : vet It is a bar to social and business success. Do you wonder that despair seizes. upon_ these. wafferers when Dectors fail, standard remedies fail, And nostrums prove worse than useless? Skin diseases are: most obstinate to cure or even relieve. , It 4s'an easy matter to claim to cure them, but quite another thing to do 80. CUTICURA REMEDIES Have earned the right to be called Skin Specifics, Because for years they bave met with most re- markable snecess. There are cases that they cannot cure, but they are few indeed.
