Lee Camp— Bishop Potter at Old Christ Church, Ever since the proposition to establish a military park at Appomattox was made there has been a great deal of discussion of the subject by Alexandria’s confederate veterans, many of whom were officers in high standing in the confederate states army. There is a general opposition to the movément among them. R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, of this city has unanimously adopted resolutions as follows: ‘“‘Whereas a movement has been started to establish a national military park at Appomattox Court House and the different camps of Confederate Vet- erans have been asked to aid the move- | ment, and whereas it does not seem ad- visable to us that a national park should be established at that place; therefore, re- selved, in the opinion of R. E. Lee Camp of this city, that the project to establish a national park at Appomattox Court House not encouraged, and that our repre- sentatives in Congress be requested not to lend their influence to the furtherance of any bill having this object in view.” Bishop Potter's Address. Old Christ Ghurch was packed to the dcors last night by the members of St. Andrew's Brotherhood and their friends, who had come to hear Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter, bishop of New York, deliver an aédress. Just prior to the address a short special service was held. The bishop open- ed with a word picture of the corruption in New York, telling how it had been over- ccme by the little bands of men who had organized for the purpose of good govern- ment, and how they had worked together with such good results. He used this as an example to show what good fields there were for the brotherhood and how in unity they could overcome many difficulties and reach the end for which they were organ- ized. He described the organization of the brotherhood nine years ago. The bishop spoke feelirgly of his connection with the Virginia Seminary and told how many years ago he had stood in that same chan- cel, being permitted to come in from the seminary to read the services. It is remarked as a singular thing that among the most prominent bishops in the Episcopal Church three of them should have been at the Virginia Seminary at the seme time—Bishop Phillips Brooks of Massachusetts as a junior class man, Bishop A. M. Randolph of Virginia,as a middle class man, and Bishop Henry C. Potter as a senior class man. Notes. Rev. W. H. McAllister of Trinity M. E. Church is extremely ill. . The revival services at the Presbyterian Church continue tc draw large crowds. Mr. Rice, the pastor, is doing an excellent work. There will be a special meeting of the Young Men’s Sodality Lyceum tonight, to take action on the new constitution and by-laws. Harmony Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Washing- ton paid Sarepta Lodge of this city an offi- cial visit last night. Golden Light Lodge, I. O. G. T., held an interesting meeting last night. Mr. C. E. Remington and Miss Minnie Williams were married last night. Mrs. Henry Daingerfield, sr., is extremely ill at her home, on Prince street. R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, nas adopted resolutions to the memory of the late Gen. Montgomery D. Corse, copies of which have been sent to his family and placed on the récords of the camp. There being no prisoners for trial, there was no session of the police court this morning. —_——_—_ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Local Notes From Across the Rock Creek. The heavy steps leading from the south- ern end of graded 36th street down to M cpposite the Aqueduct bridge have been removed to make room for Washington and Georgetown railroad excavations, and at the request of numerous property holders they have been placed at the foot of 37th street. The excavations will extend into the square opposite the main site of the union depot buildings. Preparatory to the digging house 1210 36th street has been razed. The exclusiveness of Prospect cottage will be seriously interfered with, but the novelist, Mrs. Southworth, will not vacate. Her affection for the old place will make her cling to it until the last, her son, Dr. Southworth, says. Suffrage Question. Next Tuesday there will be a debate at the rooms of the Georgetown Catholic Union, the subject discussed being, “Re- solved, That a Representative Form of Government Would Be Best for the Dis- trict of Columbia.” The affirmative side will be taken by Messrs. J. Burris Waters and Thomas Connor, and the negative by Messrs. Charles R. Murray and Thomas Smith. A short literary and musical program will follow the debate. The past two months have been banner ones in the his- tory of the organization. The new manag- ers are continually devising features for the entertainment of the members. Moant Tabor Church. The annual meeting of Mt. Tabor M. P. Church for the election of officers took piace last night. Stewards were elected as follows: L. P. Burriss, Theo. Barnes, E. C. Ferd, Geo. P. Hoskinson, Jas. H.

One of the Interesting Sections at the National Museum, Curator J. Elfreth Watkins, who recently returned from Chicago to resume his du- tles at the National Museum, is now en- gaged in arranging his section, the scope of which has been extended to include all technological collections. Prof. Watkins, who previous to the world’s fair was cura- tor of the section of transportation and en- gincering, has collected from the exposi- tion and elsewhere numerous relics, mod- els, photographs, drawings and other his- torical and mechanical data, which are being installed in the space of his former section, and also in portions of the halls adjoining. The celebrated Henry electrical relics, which up to this time have been in the custody of the great scientist's family and elsewhere, have been added to the section. From drawings furnished by Miss Mary A. Henry, the inventor's daughter, there have been made several working models of the important apparatus not preserved, but used by Henry in his earliest experiments. All of these are being grouped in cases to- gether with other relics which illustrate the developments of the telegraph, tele- phone and other electric inventions. The evolution of the steam engine, the locomo- tive, the passenger and parlor car, the metal track, the sailing vessel, the steam- ship, the fire engine, the typewriter, the sewing machine and numerous other of the world’s greatest Inventions is to be illus- trated in the same way. ————— The Gridiron Club Declined. Some time ago the Gridiron Club received an invitation to a complimentary dinner to be given in their honor by the Quaint Club of New York at the Waldorf on March 20. It would, of course, have been a most elab- orate and enjoyable occasion, but, unfor- tunately, the invitation had to be declined. With the adjournment of Congress so many members of the Gridiron Club have planned to leave the city within the next fortnight or made other arrangements that it was seen but few could have attended the din- ner, and it was deemed best to forego the pleasant honor, for the present at least. Why Not make the baby fat? For the thin baby is delicate, and is not half so cunning. Give the thin baby Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites. Scott’s Emulsion is as easy a food as milk. It is much more effective in making thin babies fat, and they like it. If all the babies that have been made fat and chubby and well by Scott’s Emulsion could only tell their story to the mothers of other sickly babies! There wouldn’t be enough to go round.

Culmination of the Famoys Society Seandal. It is sald that the break between Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, which led to the divorce granted yesterday, as announced in The Star, came at the close of the yachting trip on board the Valiant last summer, during which, it is alleged, Mrs. Vanderbilt was subjected to indignities in the presence of their friends that made it impossible to longer defer action. It is alleged that Mr. Vanderbilt's relations with Mlle. Nellie Neustretter were openly paraded by him with the purpose of forc- ing his wife to take cognizance of them. Mr. Vanderbilt's friends assert that prior to this yachting trip his behavior toward Mrs. Vanderbilt had always been consider- ate, and that he had before that time con- ducted himself in an exemplary manner, They assert that he had no affection for Mile. Neustretter and was in no sense fas- “cinated by her. Throughout the publications coupling the name of Mr. Vanderbilt with that of Mile. Neustretter that gentleman has only once made denial of any printed statements. He protested against an allegation that he had caused the young woman's servants to be arrayed in the W. K. Vanderbilt livery. The denial of this charge was vehement and the explanation was made public that the Neustretter livery, while similar to that of Mr. Vanderbilt's servants, had never been changed, and that at no time had the two been identical. Though the fact has been known for some months that the Vanderbilts were agreed upon the gen- eral proposition of a divorce, it was not known by the public until the decree was filed yesterday that proceedings had been gun. Mr. Vanderbilt met Miss Smith, who afterward became his wife, in 1 he was twenty-nine years of age. She is a member of an aristocratic southern fm- ily. It is understood that the settlement upon Mrs, Vanderbilt includes the marble palace at Newport, the residence at 52d street and 5th avenue and money and se- curities that will make her income $300,000 a year. Her sister is the former wife of Ferdi- nand Yzagna, whose present wife returned to the United States last month to secure a divorce. The “woman in the case” is Nellie Neu- stretter, one of the most beautiful of the queens of the Parisian demi-monde. Mr. Vanderbilt is alleged to have given her all his large winnings at the last Grand Prix de Paris. At present Mr. Vanderbilt is cruising on board his yacht Valiant in the Mediterranean with a party of friends. Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter have made all their arrangements for sailing for Europe, having planned to occupy palatial quarters at Paris. CANNES, France, March 6.—Mr. William K. Vanderbilt's steam yacht Valiant has been lying at Nice for some time. Both the Valiant and Namouna were entered for yesterday's review, but neither of them took part in the day's proceedings. Mr. Vanderbilt lives on board his yacht, and ts a frequent visitor to Monte Carlo. Mlle. Neustretter, whose name has been men- tioned in connection with the Vanderbilt divorce proceedings, inhabits a villa at Monte Carlo. A Rate War. A rate war seems likely to result from the recent boycott of the Seaboard Air Line by the Southern Railway Association. The association charged that the Seaboard was not maintaining rates and proclaimed a boycott against it on March 1. The Seabcard has now replied to the boycott _with a sweeping cut in passenger rates. The reduction amounts to neariy 40 per cent of the present rates, and ap- plies to all rates along the line of the Sea- board. The announcement last night of the cut by the Seaboard Air Line to Atlanta caused somewhat of a surprise to the officials of the other railroad companies that have connections with Atlanta. Such of the offi- cials as would talk about the matter to- day were, however, inclined to treat it lightly, and asserted that it is but a plan intended to force the Southern Railway Association to revoke its order against the Seaboard Air Line. i Col.

He was one of the military commission that tried the con- spirators who planned the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. —_—_+0+—_____ Holloway Lodge. The members of D. P. Holloway Lodge, No. 18, I. O.
