Bishop W. F. Mallalieu preached yester- day morning at Asbury Church, in the af- ternoon at Ebenezer and in the evening at Mount Zion, Georgetown. An address was delivered yesterday morn- ing at All Souls’ Church by Mrs. Mary Wright Sewall from the text: “Those that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the earth.” “What Frederick Douglass Accomplished for His Race” was the subject of a dis- course delivered yesterday morning by Rev. 8. Geriah Lamkins at the Salem Baptist Church. ——s First Smoker. The first annual smoker of the Jolly Fat Men's Club will be held tomorrow evening at the home of the club,1006 F street north- west.

Frederick, Ernest Emery, Anthony Rodier, Thomas O’Brien and James C. McGill. Death of Mrs. Clarke. The death of Mrs. Catharine A. Clarke occurred yesterday afternoon at 805 2d street northwest. Mrs. Clarke was the widow of G. A. Clarke, late doorkeeper of the United States Supreme Court. The de- ceased left two sons, John A. Clarke and Jamés A. Clarke. — W. C. T. U. Meeting. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Un- ion of the District held a largely attended gospel mass-meeting yesterday afternoon in the First Congregational Church. The exercises were opened with a prayer ser- vice, followed by a solo by Miss Bond, and then Mrs. L. M. Stevens, vice president-at- large of the. union, was introduced. In an interesting address Mrs. Stevens urged an equal moral code for men and women, and in that connection spoke of the social purity department of the W. C. T. U., which had labored @ffectively in this line. After a few remarks by Mrs. Pickler,Mrs. Emma A. Cranmer reviewed the trium- phant march of progress in the United States. Referring to the statement that the saloons of Chicago are a greater bless- ing to the working men and the unem- ployed than all the philanthropic societies because of their daily free lunch,Mrs. Cran- mer advanced the proposition that the free lunch Is what the little piece of cheese in the trap is to the mouse—a delusion and a snare. es An Accident. Yesterday morning about 3 o’clock Po- liceman John Brennan of the sixth precinct met with a painful accident near 6th and F streets. He stepped in an open coal shute in the sidewalk, and so painfully in- jured his foot and leg that he had to be carried home in the patrol wagon. Several similar accidents have happened lately. In seme instances the tops were left off the openings to the coal vaults, and in others they had been put on so carelessly that they turned without much effort on the part of the victim. ——__ Suing for Divorce. Geo. E. Kain has been made the defend- ant in a suit for divorce filed by Cora O. M. Kain. They were married August 28, 1588, so Mrs. Kain states, have three children, and she charges cruelty and abuse. es Sons and Daughters of Abraham. Articles incorporating the Mount Pleasant Ledge, No. 4, Order of the Benevolent Sons and Daughters of Abraham, have been filed by William O. Holmes, George T. Carter, William J. Childs, Rufus R. Burnett, Cor- relilus A. Berkeley, Thomas L. Jones and Frederick Bass. —— An Immense Plate Glass. No one unacquainted with the handling of large French plate glass can possibly realize the nerveus strain and danger in- cident thereto. Should one of the handlers falter or lose bis nerve an instant, the plate would be thrown out of plumb and smashed to pieces, perhaps cutting three or four of them seriously or fatally—not counting the loss of a $00 plate. The Palais Royal has the largest French plate glass in the city, it measuring 10 feet high by 17 feet long, and it was placed in posi- tion a few days ago by Mr. Charles E. Hodgkin, the “expert” handler of plate glass, 913 7th street northwest. He put it in place in less than two hours, and joking- ly remarked, “hat he didn't think his men lost more than ten pounds each in the effort.""—Advt. —_——— -—_ Competition is Killed! 5-Ib. box finest cream butter, $1.45.

Mr. Charles Lanman, the artist, traveler and writer, is dangerously ill at his home, 8035 P street. For some days his condi- tion has been alarming. Mr. Lanman was Webster’s private sec- retary during the statesman’s last years, and wrote the private history of that great man. He awas also secretary of the Japanese legation for twelve years. So capable a man was he, and so valuable were deemed his services, that on his re- tirement the Mikado of Japan, in acknowl- edgement thereof, presented him with $5,000. As a landscape artist Mr. Lanman has won recognition. There are over a thous- and of his artistic works in valued collec- tions. He is said to have painted scenes from almost every state in the Union. Mr. Lanman has been a great traveler, and has engaged in many dangerous and lonely explorations. Many wild places were brought by him to the attention of | the public. He was the first civilized man to explore and make known the region of the Sagueney. He went up the river for several hundred miles in a canoe, made soundings and described in magazine ar- ticles ‘the maghificence of the scenery. The trip was attended with much danger. Cliffs border the Sagueney river for miles to a sheer height of 1,000 feet, while the water at various points is half a mile deep. The country was then particularly wild, and provisions for many days had to be carried up. All Mr, Lanman’s explorations have been carefully and graphically described in his Gounod’s “Redemption. ‘Wednesday nights the Choral Society will give Gounod’s oratorio of “The Redemp- tion” at the Congregational Church. The music of this is melodious, as might be ex- pected from the composer of “Faust,” and as this will be the first time it has been given in this city great interest is excited in musical circles in regard to it. The fact that all the soloists are local singers will add to the attractiveness of the perform- ance. The Choral Society has given two performances this season—‘“St. Paul” and the “Messiah’’—both of which nave been re- markably successful, and it is expected that the coming representations will be the best in the history of the society. Prof. Kaspar, the musical director, has paid great attention both to soloists and chorus, and excellent work is expeeted. The rale of seats at Droop’s music store indicates @ good attendance on both nights. The soloists for Tuesday evening are Miss Mary Helen Howe, Miss Blanche R. Mattingly, Miss Mamie Donnelly, Miss Maria L. Mad- dren, Miss Blanche L. Rueckert, Miss May L. Corby, Miss Laura Zeh, Mr. Wm. D. McFarland, Mr. Wm. J. Caulfield, Mr. Chas. L. M. Skerrett, Mr. Bernard A. Ryan, Mr. Henry M. Paul, Mr. Charles F. Roberts. Mr. Kaspar will conduct and Mr. John Por- ter Lawrence wil) be the organist. “Dorothy.”—By an inadvertence it was stated that the part of Squire Bantam in “Dorothy” was sung by Mr. Pomeroy,when it was actually taken by Mr. J. Taylor Cronin, whose singing and acting received high commendation. “The Christian Man.”—There will be a course of addresses under the auspices of the Churchman’s League of the District of Columbia on “The Christian Man,” on Tuesdays in Lent, at 8 p.m., as follows: “The Christian Man in Society,” Rev. Geo. Wm. Douglas, D.D., S.T.D., St. John's Chureh, March ‘The Christian Man in the Parish,” Rt. Rev. William Paret, D.D., LL.D., Church of the Ascension, March 12: “The Christian Man in Politics,” Rt. Re Leighton Coleman, S.T.D., LL.D., St. Paul'se Church, March 19; “The Christian Man in the Family,” Rt. Rev. Alfred M. Randolph, D.D., LL.

Bodine, D.D., Trinity He has been called by writers “the pic- turesque explorer.” Since his retirement from the secretary- ship of the Japanese legation Mr. Lan- man has lived closely at his home, writing and painting. His literary and artistic collections are rare, embracing creations of famous painters and works of old lit- erary masters. His Funeral. The Rev. Lyttleton F. Morgan, an old pastor of the Dumbarton Avenue Church, was buried in Baltimore on Saturday at Greenmount cemetery. Rey. Dr. Stitt, the present pastor; Rev. Dr. Dashiell, Rev. McKendree Reiley and other former heads cf Dumbarton were present at the last ceremonies. Bishop A. W. Wilson officiat- ed. The mourners were many and em- braced scores of representatives of the clergy. The students of Morgan College, an institution named in deceased's honor, attended the funeral in a body. The Rev. Lyttleton Morgan took a very active part in the late diamond anniversary celebration at Dumbarton. He was one of the powers of the Methodist Church. His personality was genial and his ability everywhere acknowledged. Renl Estate. Nellie T. and T. E. Roessle on Saturday conveyed to Edmund Lyddane parts of lots 148 and 149, square 75, Beatty and Haw- kins’ addition, being the southern house and premises in the block known as “Pick- rell’s Row,” 33d street between O and P. Joseph A. Simmons sold on Saturday to W. C. Morrison lots 53 to 56, Ashford’s sub of Cooke Park, square 112. Keeping a Pastor. After the regular morning services yes- terday at the Dumbarton Church, a repre- sentative of the congregation arose and on behalf of the whole body supplemented the request of the official board in requesting the return of the pastor, Rev. Dr. Stitt. It was a proceeding very unusual and 1l- lustrated the popular esteem in which the pastor is held. It is understood that other churches are working hard to secure Mr. Stitt. He has expressed himself as being exceedingly anxious to stay at the Dum- barton Church. Notes. Messrs. Wm. H. Collins and Charles Hume left last night for Florida, where the former hopes to benefit his health. The third anniversary of the death of Rev. Father J. J. Murphy, cne of the most brilliant pastors the church ever had, was observed this morning at Trinity, by the solemnization of a special mass. Father Scanlon, the present pastor, officiated. The repairs to the Curtis Hall doorway having been completed, all apprehension of danger to pupils has been removed, al- though the entire school will not assemble in the hall until both stairways have been completed. es Expensive Performance. Hyde’s comedians, playing at Kernan’s Theater last week, proved to be an attrac- tion great enough to induce Peter H. Moore of No. 48 Grant street, Anacostia, to leave his home Saturday and attend the show. Before leaving his home he put $850 in his pocket, and now he is just that much pceorer that he was before he enjoyed the laughable comedy. While at the theater, he says, he had occasion to take the money from his pocket to get a bill changed, and he supposed that some thief who saw the money exposed watched him and picked his pocket. When he discovered his loss, Mr. Moore and friends made a thorough search of the theater, but nothing in the shape of bills was found, except the thea- ter programs. Later the police were in- fcrmed of the loss of ihe money, and they are now endeavoring to locate the thief and recover it. ——— “ Will Stand Trial. One day this week a Police Court jury will have to hear a case involving charges of assault and keeping a bawdy house against a woman known in the “Division” as Ida Drury. Lola Worthington, a rest- dent of the same vicinity, is the individual who caused the arrest. It appears that these houses are permitted to exist in vio- Jation of law until there is reason for com- plaint ang then the police are awakened to a sense of duty and make a raid. Such was the case with this woman. It appears that Ida had been drinking and when she called at another alleged disreputable house and heard Lola Worthington sneeze she imagined the sneeze was intended «s an insult to her and she resented it by slapping the young woman's face. Lola re- sented the assault and now Ida has a pair of black eyes and a bruised face. Seven girls, alleged inmates of her house, were in court today as witnesses, but as jury trials were demanded the case went over. ae Tumultuous Sons and Daughters. ° Star: In Friday evening’s is: of your valua- ble paper I noticed that « gentleman gave an unfavorable criticism of the woman’s rights movement, giving 2s a reason for his disapproval his experience of the tu- multuous scenes in the congress of the Daughters of the Revolution. This is “the land of the free,” and the gentleman has a perfect right to his opinion, but I would like information in answer to one or two questions. Did the gentleman observe any elderly lady, with gray hair and flushed face, making frantic lunges at another elderly lady, while three or four other ladies held on to the first to keep her from doing bodily harm to the second? oes the description remind :nybody of cnything of recent occurrence among the sons of our republic? The gentleman says the daugh- ters paid no attention to the gavel. Has he ever read of a mace being carried down a congressional aisle and producing about as much effect as a jumping jack would have done? Men never get excited in debat they never let “their angry passions rise.”” With them as models of conduct in legis- lative halls, women cannot go far from right; and only give us a chance, perhaps we could learn to be as patient, as for- bearing, as tolerant and as calm as men are. I repeat, only give us a chance, and who knows but that we may not only be able to “act as pretty’ as men do, but even to improve on the model?

Paudert and Master Frank Mack. z German Dramatic Club.—At the last per- formance of the German Dramatic Club at Willard’s Hall Hermann Hersch’s histori- cal drama, “Anna-Lise,”” was presented in a very effective manner. Miss "Anita Schade, in the title role, was seen to good advantage, being given an opportunity to display her range of dramatic talent. In the early portion of the play as the bright, Vivacious, joyous girl she pleased all, but in the fourth act, where she 2p- pears in mourning, despairing of all hopes, even of life, she was especially effective, and diew from the audience enthusiastic applause, receiving also a handsome floral tribute. Mr. Rothschild. as Leopold and Mr. Colignon, who appeared with the club for the first time, as the apothecary, both deserve especial mention, as does also Miss Agnes Burchard as the Duchess. The other characters were assumed by Misses Rueck- ert, Ulke, Maedel, Méssrs, Escher‘ch, Hannemany, Carl Droop, Hermann Schade, Byron and Risinger. The Bahen Benefit.—A program of unu- sual worth has been prepared for the even- ing of the 7th of March at Metzerott Music Hall. The best local talent and sympathiz- ing friends will unite in their efforts to raise a sum sufficiently large to defray the expenses of George Bahen, the popular col- lege student and half back, so dangerously injured in the Thanksgiving day foot ball game. The program will include solos by Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, Mrs. Anna Craig Hills, Mr. John Porter Lawrence, Mr. Her- man C. Rakemann, Mr. T. Williams Pear- man, Mr. Conde Nast of Georgetown Uni- versity. The Tuxedo Mandolin and Guitar Quartet of Chicago, the Philharmonic Quartet and Mrs. H. H. Mills and the Georgetown University Glee, Banjo, Man- dolin and Guitar Clubs will also assist. Among the patronesses are Mrs. Chief Jus- tice Fuller, Mrs. Justice Field, Mrs. Justice Brown, Mrs. ex-Chief Justice Waite, Mrs. Uhl and Mrs. James E. Kerr. SSS Powell Was Assaulted. Joseph Powell, a plumber, who enjoys a drink of liquor as much as any victim of King Alcohol, was a regular visitor at the Police Court for several years, but during the past year or more he has so conducted himself that the police have had but little trouble with him, except to arrest persons for assaulting him. “Reddy” O’Day, the special policeman, assaulted him and seri- ously injured him several months ago, and Saturday afternoon several colored men followed the example. The trouble started in Carley’s saloon, 20th and L streets, and ended on the sid:walk. Powell was struck on the back of the head with a brick, and so seriously injured that the police found it necessary to send him to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. Following this trouble one of the colored men in the party took a knife from his pocket and wanted another of the men to use it. Charles Owen started the fight and used the brick. He claimed that he had worked for Powell, and that the latter owed him 50 cents. It was when he asked Powell for the money that the trouble started. “J had seen him spend money in saloons,” said Owen to Judge Miller this morning, “and I thought he ought to pay me.” Ehjah Chapman, his companion, who had also taken part in the fight, was tried with him. Owen was given six months in jail, and Chapman was fined $25 or sixty days. They were also fined $5 each for disorderly conduct. ——_—_. At All News Stands.

What His Death Agcompjished for His Peeple. ¢ Rev. S. Geriah Lamkingy at Salem Bap- tist Church yesterday, peached an elo- quent sermon on the life, of Frederick’ Douglass, taking ag his, text, Hebréws, 1:22: “By faith Joseph, witen he died, made mention of the departing af:the children of Israel and gave commandment concerning his bones.” He dwelt especially on what Mr. Douglass’ deathshad agcomplished for his ‘race. Among otter things Mr. Lam- kins said: “We had .hoyied that the re- mains of Frederick;Douglass would have been buried here ag:the national capital, under the shadow ofthe dame, within sight of the Goddess of ‘Liberty, but ere his death, like Joseph of old, he .gave com- mandment concerning his bones. It was his wish to be buried in the land of free- dom, of equality before the law, where a man is not judged by the color of his skin, but by his manhood and by his merit. The action of New York assembly and the great honor, done to his remains by distinguished citizens of Rochester justify the wisdom of his baa “New York in honoring Douglass honored herself. So did the nation; so did the world. He was listened to in his lifetime as no other negro was. His death has touched the American conscience as the death of no other negro could. He has made the road smoother and easier for those who are to follow him, and when the illustrious dead of all nations shall stand in the pres- ence of God and the roll of earth's great men shall have been called, prominent among them will be the name of Fred- erick Douglass.” A Douglass Museum Proposed. At Mt. Zion Baptist Church the Alpha Literary Society held memorial services. After prayer by Rev. A. L. Demond, and 2 hymn, the memorial address by Mr. Alex- ander S. Richardson cn the “Life and Character of Frederick Douglass” was de- livered. Short addresses were delivered by Rev. Randolph Peyton, Rev. Stephen Har- ris, Rev. L. C. Moore and W. E. Reed. At Mount Olive Sunday school lyceum last evening an able address was delivered by Mr. Gcorge Murray, in which he paid a glowing tribute to Douglass. Rev. B. M. Brown also spoke of the value of Mr. Douglass’. services to his people. T. J. Edmondson, president of the ly- ceum, braught forward the suggestion that the colored people should buy the Douglass homestead on Anacostia Heights and open there a national park, making the house a national museum. They should also erect a monument to Mr. Douglass. These sug: gestions were received with applause by the large audience present. setitinst aos The Proposed Belt Line Changes. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Referring to the proposed change of route on the Belt line of street cars, men- tioned in The Star, allow me to sug- gest that,” in my opinion, the aboll- tion of the “round-trip” privilege, com- plained of by the company, will prove to be an expensive experiment to the com- pany, for I think it safe to assert that at least three-fourths of its receipts from 6 to 10 o’clock p.m. during the heated, term have been from round-trip patrons residing on or adjacent to that line, seeking some little relief from the oppressive heat dur- ing those hours. No doubt the privilege has been abused by some, but I believe that to be the ex- ception and not the rule—as seems to be intimated in the article referred to. Be- sides, many personsiwho have been using this line in going to and from their busi- ness down town without change of cars, should they now be: compelled to “trans- fer,” will patronize the more “rapid transit” of 7th or 9th stréets, as the case may be.

New avd Rapid Transit on the Colum- bin Rond. x Rapid transit over the Columbia railway within the next few days will be a realty. For nearly eight months the Washington public has been expecting the transforma- tion from horse to cable power over this line, and their hopes are about to be re- warded. Today the finishing touches were made to the roadbed: at the eastern ter- minus of the line. The machinery has been in position for several weeks past, and the engines have been working almost con- stantly during that time. The power house is nearly completed, and the car shed is almost in condition for occupancy, while the office building will not be ready for use for several weeks. Within the next few days the cable, which is 30,500 feet in length, will be stretched. This operation is to be accom- plished by means of a score or more of horses, the method being familiar, as it has been used a number of times in this cjty on the Washington and Georgetown road. A trial trip, it is expected, will be made on Saturday, and thereafter, for a few weeks, the cable cars will be run in connection with the present horse cars. When the men become accustomed to oper- ating the grip the horse cars will be taken off and the cable only made use of. The new cars will certainly be a novelty in this city, as they are very dissimilar to the rolling stock of the Washington and Georgetown road. The grip and passenger car is combined, and it is of considerable length. The cars were built by John Ste- venson of New York, and three have reach- ed the city. The entire complement of the road will be forty open and forty closed cars. According to Engineer W. B. Upton, the road was built in an unusually short time, eight months only having elapsed since the company decided to do away with horse power and adopt the’ cable. The blizzard of a few weeks ago caused considerable delay in starting the new system. ——>—— Presuming that insurance is an absolute necessity for every business man, the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company of Boston asks special consideration of its many desirable features, prominent among which is the fact that its poitcy is plain and liberal, subject to an annual distribu- tion of surplus and the protection of the Massachusetts non-forfeiture law.
