Last night about 11 o'clock fire was dis- covered in James Doud’s grocery store, 635 I street southwest, and before the fire de- partment could get the flames under con- trol they had made an opening from the store to the roof and the adjoining house’ was also damaged. The loss amounted to about $500. The cause of the fire is not known.

A MEMORIAL TO DOUGLASS The Needsof the Manassas Industrial School Set Forth. A Committee Suggested to Promote the Work for Which Mr. Douglass So Earnestly Appealed. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In Saturday evening’s Star of February 23 was a communication noticing the fact that the last appeal of Frederick Douglass to the public was for the rebuilding of the Manassas Industrial School, whose main building was recently destroyed by tire, and suggesting that a fitting memorial to him would be to respond to this appeal and erect a suitable building to the honor of his name. From the first inception of the school in its present shape, wher convinced of its reliability, Mr. Douglass was its un- failing friend. He delivered the address at the dedication, September 3 last, which was to him a memorable occasion, -being the anniversary of his escape from slavery fifty-six years before, and in other ways proving to be a day of happy experiences. Congressman E. E. Meredith, the demo- cratic member from Manassas district, opened the exercises with a hearty address of welcome. Dr. Clarkson, the county su- perintendent of schools, and Capt. R. H. Tyler, both ex-confederates and ex-slave owners, made spirited speeches in favor of the school. Jennie Dean, the self-ordained missionary to her people for education, raised the American flag ten miles from where she had been born a slave, and hun- dreds of colored people from miles around came to see and listen to the great'man of whom they had been hearing all their lives. In the course of his remarks Mr. Doug- lass said, a more fitting location for the battle of enlightenment against ignorance could not have been selected than the bat- tlefield of Manassas and Bull Run, where occurred the first conflict of American free- dom against the institution of slavery. Our farm, 100 acres of beautiful land, -worth about $4,000, is paid for. We have on this one small dwelling not destroyed by fire. We have on hand from the insurance and recent donations nearly enough to re- build Howland Hall, the gift of Miss Emily Howland, as it originally stood when dedi- cated by Mr. Douglass. But what we have not, and what we ardently desire and are working for, is money to erect a large,com- modious building on our main site, not yet builded upon. Following the recommendation in The Star, I suggest, therefore, that the re- sponse to Mr. Douglass’ appeal to the pub- lic for the Manassas School be subscrip- tions for a building erected to his memory, costing, including equipments for indus- trial training, not less than $25,000, to be known to future generations as a monu- ment, erected by grateful hearts and loving hands, to the recepeaes leader of his race, and the brave defender at home and abroad of the principles of American lib- erty. I would suggest, as a committee to pro- mote this work, the following named gen- tlemen, wno were associated with Mr. Douglass, either in his public or private life: Prof. H. P. Montgomery, Mr. Henry E. Baker, Mr. John F. Cook, Dr. J. R. Francis, Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, Mr. Paul T. Bowen and Dr. Robert Reyburn, to act with Rev. M. D. Williams of Manassas and Rev. H. H. Warring of Alexandria, both of whom have already started ihe movement in their respective towns.- JANE E. THOMPSON. ——__ CAME TOO LATE. The District Commissioners Will Move Out Shortly. Late yesterday afternoon the Commis- sioners gave a hearing to Mr. Thomas W. Smith, the owner of the present District building, on 1st street, who is naturally Gispleased at the decision of the Commis- sioners to meve their quarters to the Walker building, on Louisiana avenue. Mr. Smith argued long and earnestly to the end that he might get the triumvirate to change their plans, but he was unsuccessful, as the Commissioners gave him to understand that they had given their word to Mr. Walker, and could not well withdraw it. Mr. Smith made the proposition to build another story to the main building, which would make five in all, to put up two ad- ditional stories on the rear building, which now contains but two, and also to construct @ passenger elevator and thoroughly reno- vate the building. The addition to the rear building, Mr. Smith said, would give the Commissioners ample fire-proof accommo- dations for the preservation of their rec- ords. He was willing to do all this at an annual rental of $6,000, which, he claimed, was at least $4,000 less than would be re- quired to secure similar quarters on Louis- jana avenue. Mr. Smith expressed the opinion that he had not been fairly treated in the matter. His building, which has been occupied by the Commissioners for about eight years past, was formerly used as a lumber ware- house, and was remodeled and partitioned off to make it suitable for its present uses. When the lease was first made he ac- cepted a rental of $3,600, which was the amount the Commissioners had at their dis- posal. He claims to have accepted that amount with the understanding that the board would endeavor to have the appro- priation increased the following year and for future years to $4,500. This under- standing, of course, was made before any of the present Commissioners were ap- pointed to the board. The understanding has never been lived up to, but Mr. Smith says that he was assured that no change would ever be made until such time as a permanent municipal building should be built especially as a home for the Commis- sioners. He said that under the circum- stances he thought he had a perfect right to protest against the action of the Com- missioners. : His protest came too late, however, for the Commissioners today are making prep- ‘arations for the change, which is to be made before the beginning of the next fiscal year, and are already planning the distri- bution of offices in the new building. This will be no small undertaking, as it will re- quire considerable judgment and discretion to get the various rooms assigned in the most satisfactory manner. —— IDEAL REALISM. A Lecture on_ the Feehte. Fechte, the German philosopher, was dis- cussed yesterday at the meating uf the So- ciety for Philosophical Research, at Co- lumbian University. Prof. Frank Bigelow was the lecturer, and his subject was “The Ideal Realism of Fechte.” The result of his examination of Fechte was the conclu- sion that the philosopher has brought for- ward no proposition that modern science would not promptly upset. Dr. William T. Harris, at the close of the lecture, said he must differ wita Prof. Bigelow, and asked what of Fechte’s works the lecturer had read. Prof. Bige- low said he had read none of them, but taken his knowledge through the writings of several who had read Fechte. Dr. Har- ris said he had studied Fecht2 unavailing- ly for twenty years, and had finally. trans- lated some of his works, and begun to grasp some idea of the philosopher's inind and purpose. He said he now thought no livirg human being had ever shown such Philosophy of insight into the processes of human thought. : Major Powell then said whatever Fechte thought or said science had disproved his conclusions absolutely. ——— Don’t Fail to Get a Copy.

AMUSERENTS. - “The Redemption” was given its first pub- by the W&shington Choral Society at the Congregational Church. It is a pecuHarly season, and the large audience present at once recognized its beauties and the good work of the society. The choruses are not so humerous as in some oratorios, but they are written in the mest lofty and devotion- al spirit and appeal strongly to,the better part of one’s nature. The absence of an orchestra was felt, for Gounod has in the score much effective work for such a body of musicians, but Mr. John Porter, Law- rence, who presided at the organ, did his best to atone for the deficiency. It was a task of extreme difficulty, and that it was satisfactorily performed was a tribute to his “ability as_a musician and his technical skill as an organist. In some of the heav- jer choruses the. organ was reinforced by a grand piano, played by Mrs. J. S. Thomas. The work of the society was highly com- mendable and bore excellent testimony to the intelligent training that had been given the members by the musical director, Prof. Josef Kaspar. The membership was out in full force, numbering nearly three hun- dred, and the parts were very well balanc- The male voices came out better than usual and several times they “had an op- portunity of being heard by themselves, and although separated by the width of the Platform the tenors and basses kept well together. The society never did more in- spiring work, the character of the music and the place of the performance both con- tributing to this result. That the devo- tional sentiment of the oratorio was recog- nized was evidenced by the large attend- ance and that the work of the society was appreciated the applause that followed each chorus fully testified. Particular attention should be drawn to the chorals of “The Passover,” “The Pentecost” and “Unfold Ye the Portals Everlasting.’ Additional interest was given to the performance of “The Redemption” from the fact that the soloists were all local singers. While it Was not expected that these would equal some of the professionals that have sung with the society, still they all acquitted themselves creditably and are entitled to. @ gcod measure of praise. Miss Blanche Mattingly sang “Ye Mountains” effectively, although the recitative with which it com- menced was not well delivered, and Miss Mamie Donnelly’s solo was happily given. Miss Mary Helen Howe sang a difficult solo, wifh chorus accompaniment, and her voice came out clear and i: tinct. The contraltos were Misses May Corby, Blanche Rueckert and ‘aura Zeh. Miss Corby’s ‘While My Watch I Am Keeping” and Miss Rueckert’s angel solo were commendable efforts. Of the male voices those of Mr. W. D. McFarland, tener, whose enunciation was remarkably distinct, and Mr. Henry M. Paul, bass, whose delivery was unusually impassioned and impressive, were the most meritorious. All the work of the gentlemen was of a recitative character, and on that account extremely diffgeult, but it was well done, and reflected credit upon not only those already named, but upon Messrs. W. J. Caulfield and Chas. L, M. Skerrett, tenors, and Benard A. Ryan and Chas. F. Rob- erts, who completed the list of soloists. ‘Tonight “The Redemption” will be re- peated with a new set of, soloists, also all local singers. . Mrs. Brown's Readings.—Few authors are able to present the most adequate reading of their own works, for there seems to be that element in the literary inspiration that is naturally antagonistic to the pow- er of rendition possessed by a reader. Thus Mrs. Clara Bell Brown, in her entertain- ment last evening at Metzerott’s, did not give the best presentation of her writings that she had selected for the evening's program. The audience, however, was well entertained, and applause was generously freauent. Several very handsome floral pieces went over the footlights to Mrs. Brown, who appeared under the most dis- tressing circumstances, having left a bed of sickness to fulfill her engagement. She read the poems, “The War Cry of Logan,” “The Fall of the Confederacy,” “The Stok- er’s Valentine,” and “A Thousand Years Ago.” The prose sketches were entitled “A Reporter's Life,” and “I Remember Mrs. Brown was accompanied and assisted in the program by Miss Jennie O’Nelll Pot- ter in several selections, which she ren- dered in her usual happy style, and com- pletely captured her audience. Prof. Mar- fano Maina sang twice most acceptably, accompanied by Prof. Harry Howard. In the audience were Chief Justice Fuller, the Senators from Tennessee, Mrs. Sherman, Mr. and Mrs. McCulloch and other distin- guished people, all of whom hoped for bet- ter success under more favorable condi- tions. The Bahen Benefit.—All the arrangements have been completed by the law students of Georgetown University for the testimonial benefit to be given George D. Bahen, the plucky half-back of Georgetown’s foot ball team. The array of talent is quite large, and aside from the meritorious object of the entertainment the attractions present- ed should induce a crowded house. The young gentlemen promoting the affair have been auite energetic and have secured the services of those most popular in musical circles, and the program will contain a picture of Bahen as he appeared in the championship game. The participants will be Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, Mrs. Anna Craig Hills, the Philharmonic Quartet and . H. H. Mills, Messrs. John_ Porter eeeece: Hub. T. Smith, T. Williams Pearman, Herman C. Rakemann, Conde Nast, E. J. Walsh, Miss Helena Chalmers, the Tuxedo Mandolin and Guitar Quartet, the Georgetown University Banjo, Mando- lin-and Guitar clubs. The entertainment will take place in Metzerott Hall tomor- row night and seats may now be secured at Metzerott's. Lillian Russell.—The Lillian Russell Opera conary in a grand revival of Offenbach’s brilliant opera bouffes, ‘La Perichole” and “Grand Duchess,” will appear at the Grand Opera House next week. The ensembles but recently from Abbey’s Theater, New York, where it met with very great suc- cess.’ Miss Russell, seen in these operas with her present surroundings, is fully as captivating as ever in appearance, and her vocal quality has certainly improved; with time she has added largely to her re- sources. Of her support, Miss Annie My- ers, well and popularly known here, is a clever actress with an excellent voice, and she helps make the most of the scene in which she is seen. Mr. Richie Ling sings admirably and meets the demands of the {important roles in both operas. Digby Bell, an old favorite, furnishes a most amusing study of the Viceroy in “La Peri- chole” and Baron Puck in “The Grand Duchess,” while Mr. Hallen Moystn is al- ways entertaining. ‘La Perichola” will be presented the first four nights of the week and ‘The Grand Duchess” the remainder. Seats on sale tomorrow morning. “The Tornado.”—Lincoln J. Carter, who has for several years been prominent as a producer of novel stage realisms, will pre- sent his latest scenic play, “The Tornado,” at the Bijou Theater next week. It is a -ecenic melodrama of unusual pretensions, and is said to contain-enough in this line to satisfy the most ardent lover of :nelo- dramatic sensation.

This will be the last op- | portunity to see Fitz previous to his fight with Corbett, which ‘is scheduled to take Place next September. The specialty feat- ures of Mr. Fitzsimmons’ show are said to be unusually interesting. Ten big acts will be given by high-class performers, followed by the appearance of Fitzsimmons in his wonderful ball punching exhibition. At the conclusion of the third round he hits the ball what is known to be a knock-out blow and sends it flying through the audience. It is claiméd that Mr. Fitzsimmons has never yet failed to break the rope in this act. Any one has the privilege of bringing @ new rope in order to show that it is as ony for him to break one rope as the other. ' Sousa’s| Band.—Next Sunday night Sousa’s Concert Band will appear at the Grand Opera House. Seats will be sold at the box office tomorrow and the rest of the .week. Bandmaster Sousa’s success and popularity are doubtless as much due” to his musical compositions as to his ability as a musician and leader. He is beginning to be known as widely through his Irresist- ible marches as is-the Strauss family. for its charming waltzes. Every band in the country may be trusted in the march of a mile to play two or three of Sousa’s stir- ring marches, and no pianist’s repertoire is considered “‘up to date’ which does not contain the “High School Cadets,” the “Beau Ideal” and others of Sousa’s compo- sitions. But nobody can play his own ccm- Positions like Sousa himself, and this will be one of the strongest reasons why our readers will turn out en masse to hear Sousa’s Band when it appears in this city. Mr. Fox’s Readings.—Mr. John Fox, jr., will read from his published and un- published _writings at Builders’ Ex- change Hall on Friday evening next. The_ “Cumberland Vendetta” and “A Mountain Europa” are two of his best known stories and they have created a de- cided impression in the literary world. Mr. Fox has but recently commenced reading from his own works and he has met with great -success. wherever he has appeared. Next Friday will be his first reading in Washington, and he will include in his se- lections portions of an unpublished story, “The Last Stetson,” a sequel to the “Cum- berland Vendetta. —— Third Army Corps. A meeting of the Washington branch of the Third Army Corps Union was held at Willard’s last night to discuss the pro- posed reunion of the union at Hadley, Mass., May 6 next. Hadley is the birth- Place of Gen. Hooker, and the reunion will celebrate the anniversary of the battle of Williamsburg. . 3 Gen. Chauncey McKeever, the president of the local union, and Secretary Charles F. Benjamin presided over last night's meeting. It was decided to postpone action upon the Hadley reunion until the annual meeting, which occurs March 13. It was aiso decided to give a banquet at Willard’s upon the occasicn of the annual meeting. Among those present at last night's meet- ing were Comrades Bumppus, Forbush, Richardson, Collins, Hendrix, McGraw, pyomnson, Butera, Martin, Killigan, Dex- r, Rew, Shaw, Stevens, Sw 5 Wilder and Dickinson. eo ene ——_—___ The Christian Man in Society.

Adams of_ Michigan University, whose subject was “The Evolution of Labor and Monopoly Problems.” The introduction to the sub- Ject was a carefully drawn picture of the condition of the laboring classes, from the thirteenth century down to present times, out of which had risen the problem exist-- ing between labor and capital. In the old times every laborer was a center of pro- duction, owning often his own tools and doing the work under his own roof, and so controlling his share of the profits. Overproduction was then almost impos- sible, because each workman did what came to him to do in his own vicinage. Now, the manufacturing industries are every year becoming more and more cen~- tralized, and. overproduction is the con- stant danger of trade. Labor was now the minor figure. The macbine’s the thing row, and production and distribution are controlled in a few centers. Prof. Adams thinks the-labor problem of the time could be briefly stated as follows: “Thé laborer has lost control of the con- ditions of his work and he is trying to regain that control.” .The question of monopoly can be almost as simply stated. The corporation is a relic of the seventh century, when the powers now vested in corporations rested with the trade guilds. The mistake of the modern system is in endowing with the great privileges of the body corporate an institution which no longer exercises a public function, but which is exerted now only for the furtherance of private ends and private gain. a Third Separate Company. The third separate company, D. C. N. G., entertained a very large audience last even- ing in Odd Fellows’ Hall with a musical and literary program, followed by dancing. Numbers were contributed by the J. B. Henderson Drum Corps, J..H. Simmons, Mrs. Kate Ferguson, Miss Lucy Shipman, Ross Wise, Mrs. White, Miss Laura Black, Miss Lola Ray, Miss Nellie Dougherty, R. B. Bond, William Riley, Messrs. Pearson, Cole, Jones, Reardon, Wullard and the Del Ray Brothers. Prior to the dancing refreshments were served to all present. es Installation Services.
