The Young Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Hamline M. E. Church and {ts friends were delightfully entertained last evening at the home of E. I. Booream, on O street. After the short business meet- ing of the society quite an interesting pro- gram was rendered, the numbers most de- serving of notice being a five-minute talk by Mrs. Maj. H. A. Hall; a recitation, by Mrs. Effie Perry, and a solo, by Miss Min- nie Brown. Refreshments were served and @ general social time followed. This society of young ladies is a branch of the Women’s Foreign Missionary So- ciety of Baltimore. The society has a membership of eighty, and is held in quite high favor among the members of Hamline Church. Last year $103 was raised by this society in dues and put in the missionary fund, besides the amount derived from the mite boxes and $5 contingent money. ‘This -year the society is supporting a school in Kolar, India, and educating a native Co- rean girl named Laura Hamline, in honor of Hamline Church, and Miss Laura i. ‘Towner, president of the loca} society. The meetings of the society are held on the first Wednesday of each month, the April meeting to be held at the residence of Thos, B. Towner, 1105 O street. -_-— Sons of St. George. English hospitality, true to its name, reigned supreme at Carroll Institute Hall last evening. The occasion was the first arniversary of Columbia Lodge, No. 379, Order Sons of St. George, and a large crowd was present to do honor to it and incident- ally be entertained at the same time. A musicale occupied the first part of the evening, followed by supper, while danc- ing lasted until an early hour in the morn- ing. The hall was draped with American and English flags, while potted palms were grouped in profusion on either side of the stage. ‘After the orchestra had rendered the overture, Miss Constance and Mr. Thomas Hurworth gave a whi Darkie’s Dream,” and y spond to an encore. Miss Maria L. Mad- dren then sang “For All Eternity” in a highly pleasing manner, and her singing 80 pleased the audience that she also had to respond to an encore. After @ recita- tion, “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” by Mr. T. M. Master Frank Mack render rhaps the most en- thusiastically received number on the pro- gram. He sang “The Cat Came Back,’ and, like the rest, was obliged to respond to @ hearty encoré. The second part open- ed with a piano solo by Mr. C. F. Me- Eranoy, after which Mr. J. J. Fisher sang the Armorer’s Song in his own inimitable style, giving as an encore a ringing drink- Ing song. After a cornet solo by Mr. B. F. Gottwals, Miss Maddren sang. “Cherry Ripe,” followed by a scene from Henry VUI, in which Mr. Hardy took the part of Cardinal Wolsey and Mr. E. H. Paudert the part of Cromwell. Miss Constance Hurworth, who is one of the latest prom- {sing additions to the whistling world, closed the program with a solo and an encore. — He is Missing. The police have been requested to look out for Oliver L. Bell, a one-legged veteran, who has been missing since pension day. He lived at 336 6th street southeast. It is thought he got his pension money and probably went off with some of the pension sharks. ors “Howl.” amery Butter , 340 Center Market. ke and Ohio Railway. @ line between Washington, Leuisvilie, Louis, the west Two solid vestibule, dining The trte lighted trains daily. ted, leaving 11:10 p.m. Ticket offices, 513 and 1421 Pennsylvania avenue. . —_—— irsion to Baltimore pnsylvania Railroad.

S125 $1.25 TEMPERANCE EXHIBITS Victims of Strong Drink Before the Police Court. Many of the Prisoners Owe Their Ar- rest_to One Caase—The Cases on Trial. There were more than forty prisoners in the Police Court this morning, and Judge Kimball had to hear all the cases, owing to the absence of Judge Miller, who had been called away by the death of a friend. Early in the morning the offenders against the District laws appeared in the proces- sion, which was made up chiefly of white and colored men, although the females were also represented. When Judge Kimball made his appear- ance the first case called was one in which Sam MclIhany, a young man a victim of rum, appeared to answer a charge of dis- orderly conduct, and he plead guilty. Special Officer Ricketts complained against the young man, and his testimony called forth some remarks about policemen being under the influence of liquor. | “With this example before them,” said the judge, “I don’t see how they (the po- licemen) can still indulge in liquor. Fre- quently poli¢emen come into court with the smell of whisky on their breath, and I think, with all the horrible examples they have in their line of business, they would let it alone.” The evidence was heard, and the court took the young man’s personal bonds. A good-looking young man, named John Flaherty, also a victim of strong drink, appeared, but he. did not fare so well. He had been drinking yesterday, and the po- liceman charged that he had been loafing about some of the saloons on Pennsylvania avenue between 3d and 4}: streets. “He was thrown out of Shea’s saloon three times yesterday,” the officer said, “and I arrested him.” “I was going in the saloon for a drink,” the prisoner said. “I had money in my pocket. “Unfortunately,” sald the judge, ‘the law permits a man to go into saloons and buy liquor, but’ does not allow him to lounge about such places. If I had my way there would be no such places.” In conclusion, the judge thought the young man had better be kept away from liquor salcons for a while, and gave him fifteen days on the farm. William McGill, another young man who Pays too much attention to liquor saloons, and deposits his nickels in these places, appeared and made known his objection to going down on the farm. Last evening he had been drinking, and was doing his best to get another supply. “When I.saw him,” said an officer, “he was near 4% street and Pennsylvania ave- nue begging for money to buy liquor, and when two men refused his request and let him go he followed them in the saloon and tevk hold of them.” ‘The judge thought it about time that McGill had learned to let liquor alone, and gave him thirty days to straighten out. Another example of the evils of intem- perance was shown when a young man named John Sullivan appeared at the rail” to answer a charge of having used pro- fane language. His aged father appeared as a witness against him,’and had a series of complaints to make. “Every time he gets paid off,” said the father, “he gets drunk, and it is several days before he is any good again.” Judge Kimball thought he recognized Sul- livan as having been in court before, but John said he looks very much like his brother, whom he thought the court knew. “John is a married man,” said the father, “and his baby was left at my house under false pretenses.’ What he wanted was for John to keep away from his house and not-annoy him. “I'll keep away,” said John, ‘and if you five me just one chance I'll take the pledge.” “What do you say to this?” the father was asked. “I'll trust him once,” was the father’s re- sponse. The judge thereupon released him. Still another victim of intemperance ap- peared in the person of James E. Wade, who occupied a foot pavement instead of going home last night. Obstructing the sidewalk with his person was the charge, and the usual fine was imposed. ——__ Vinit of the Orphans. Monday morning the orphans of the Masonic Home of Virginia, located at Rich- mond, arrived at the city, under the guid- ance of the officers of that institution. While here they have been the guests of the National Hotel. Monday night they visited Pentalpha and B. B. French Lodges, which were in ses- sion, but called off to admit them, when they were received with appropriate cere- monies. They were accompanied by Grand Master Dixon and Grand Secretary Single- ton of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia. Tuesday the party called upon the Presi- dent, but were disappointed to find that he had left the city. Private Secretary Thur- ber, however, received them and made them welcome to the Executive Mansion. After visiting the White House they called at the residence of Capt. Nailor, on 15th street, where they were handsomely enter- tained. Through’ the courtesy of Col. Frank Reed of Alexandria, the party visited Mt. Vernon Wednesday, and on their return sat down to a collation spread for them in the Masonic ‘Temple in that city. While here the party were accom- panied on their visits by Dr. Aaron Bald- win and Capt. Allison Naflor, jr. The offl- cers of the home accompanying the boys were the president, Mr. A. R. Courtney:; the secretary, Chas. A. Nesbitt; the teacher, J. B. Childers, and the matron, Mrs. Lucy Acres. : Se Taken to Baltimore. Last night Charles A. Willingham, who lives near Baltimore, was arrested at Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street and taken to Baltimore. The arrest was made by Detective Horne of this city and Detec- tive Hogan of Baltimore. It is alleged that Willingham, who ts an old soldier, has been sending telegrams to Governor Brown of Maryland, asking for money and com- plaining about his pension check. When arrested the prisoner denied the charge, and said that a stranger whom he met here had sent the telegrams. He says he cannot read or write, except that he can sign his name. Just what charge will be made against him in Baltimore is not known. - > -— An Incendiary. Tuesday night about 9:30 o’clock an in- cendiary made a bold attempt to burn the residences of L. R. Lewis and L. M. Ker- shaw, on Messmore avenue, in the county. A colored servant in one ofthe houses saw a man build a fire against the houses, but she was unable to tell whether he was white or colored. The fire was extin- guished soon after the incendiary applied the torch, and the case is being investi- gated by the police. —_>—__ National Geegraphic Society. There will be a meeting of the National Geographic Society in the large haH of Co- lumbian University tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. The hail will be occupied until 8 p.m. by another meeting, and members are there- fore requested not to try to enter until a few minutes after that hour.

Yesterday's Star announced the critical condition of Robert Scott Hume, son of Mr. Frank Hume of this city, a student at Yale College. Telegrams state that an operation for appendicitis was performed yesterday afternoon by Dr. McBirney of New York city, assisted by New Haven physicians. After the operation the pa- tient rested quietly. This morning at 9 o’clock telegrams reached this city that his temperature was 101, pulse 90 and his con- dition satisfactory. His parents are still with him.

AMUSEMENTS. - The Bahen Testimonial._The testimonial ‘benefit to be given to George D. Bahen at Metzerott Hall tonight will undoubtedly -attract a large audience. It is under the avspices of the law department of the Georgetown University. The best local tal- ent will participate in the program, which will be as follows: Georgetown Uni- versity March, Georgetown University Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar clubs; original sorg, Mr. Hub. T. Smith; potpourri, Tux- edo Mandolin and Guitar Quartet; recita- tion, Mr. Ed J. Walsh; Le Rossignol (flute sclo), Mr. Condi Nash (accompanist, Mr. John Porter Lawrence); Ave Marie, Bach- Geunod, Mrs. Anna Craig Hills; vio 1 obligato, Mr. Herman C.

Noyes (accompanist, Mr. John Porter Lawrence); In Picardu, George L. Osgoo., Georgetown University Glee Club. “The Redemption” _Repetition.—Last night the Choral Society repeated the ora- terio of “The Redemption,” at the Congre- gational Church, and the audience was ful- ly as large as on the first performance. There was an improvement in the work of the singers, and the choruses were given with greater precision of attack. The solo- ists last night were: Mrs.Annie Craig Hills, Mrs. W. E. Parsons, Miss Blanche Matting- ly, Miss Jennie .D. Brown, Miss Mary Mc- Kee, Miss Charlotte Andrus, sopranos; Misses Emma Brock, Colby and Kastner, contraltos; Prof. T. Williams Pearman and Chas, L. M. Skerrett, tenors; Messrs. Henry M. Paul, Jos. S. Thomas and Bugene E. Stevens, basses. It was intended that Mr. Frank P. Reeside should sing the role of Jesus last night, but the death of a rela- tive prevented his appearance, and Mr. Paul repeated the excellent work he did on Tuesday night. All the other soloists did well. As Prof. Pearman was suffering from a cold the burden of the tenor work fell on Mr. Skerrett. The success of these two performances has added largely to the reputation of the Choral Socicty, and has more firmly fixed the organization in public favor. To Prof. Josef Kaspar, the musical director, is due high praise for bringing the society up to its present standard of work, and Mr. John Porter Lawrence contributed by his excellent organ accompaniments in a large degree to the good result. Final Concert.—At the final concert of the National Lyceum course, last evening, at Metzerott’s, numbers were contributed by Mr. James Mahoney, Mrs. Kitty Thompson- Berry, Mrs. Clara-Y. Flint and the Colum- bia Mandolin Trio. Mr. Fox’s Readings.—John Fox, jr., the author of “A Mountain Europa,” “A Cum- berland Vendetta” and other stories of the southern mountaineers, will read from his own works at Builders’ Exchange Hall to- morrow evening. Mr. Fox has taken it upon himself to put before the world the picturesque character of the Cumberland mountaineer. He is admirably prepared, having lived several years among them, has studied them, and has himself become their literary interpreter ‘through his work in the Century. As a reader of his own stories he has met with immediate and great success. In the portrayal of his char- acters it has been said that he is the equal of Thomas Nelson Page, who stands pre- eminent in his particular roie. The Bischoff Concerts.—It will be seen by the anouncement in the amusement col- umn that the fourth concert in the Bischoff course will be given Friday evening at the Congregational Church. Those who ha attended these entertainments from time to time during the past fourteen years will hardly need to be reminded of their uni- form excellence, whilé their great popu- larity for so long a time should readily commend. them to the general public. Among those who appear on the program tcmorrow night are Mrs..Ettie Reeves Al- derman, Miss Lilian Siften, Miss Cassa- vant, Mrs. H. M. Smith, Miss Laura Zeh, Miss Lilian Hunt, Miss Virginia Goodwin, Miss Townsend, Mr. G. A. Clark, Mr. Fred A. Grant, tenor, and Dr. J. W. Bischoff, organist and director. 2 Vagrants Arrested. There were two cases of vagrancy against four defendants tried in the Police Court today, and the four prisoners were lucky enough to get off on their personal bonds. In one case William Thomas and Luther Brown, colored, were defendants, while James Brady and John Sweeney ap- peared as prisoners in the other case. “This morning about 2 o'clock I found -these colored men asleep on the grating in rear of the Corcoran building, where they were enjoying the warm air from the en- gine room.” The men denied that they were vagrants, and said they were down in the city so late that they did not want to go ail the way home. “I had been over at Jackson City work- ing,” said one of the men. “Are you sure you did not go over there to play policy?” the judge asked. “Yes, sir.” “Well,” said the court, “the next time you are down town late you had better go home and not go near this building. You may go.” The white men are strangers in the city, and last night they were trying to leave the city on a fre‘ght train when a special policeman arrested them. “What are you going to do?” the judge asked the men. “We went to leave town,” one of them responded. i “You can’t leave on a freight train,” the judge told them. “Then we'll walk. They gave their personal bonds and de- parted. The Golden Cross. At Mount Vernon Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, last evening Noble Commander Marion F.. Holderman presided. The degrees were conferred on one lady and one gentleman. By invitation Miss Adelaide Payne of Goodwill Com- .-Mandery occupied the position of vice_noble commander during the three degrees, and Mrs. Belle M. Carter that of noble com- mander during the third degree. Both of the ladies delivered the charges in the most impressive manner and entirely without the use of becks. A large number of vis- itors were present from Goodwill, Meridian, Halcyon, National and Potomac comman- deries. The commandery decided to cele- brate its fifth anniversary on Friday even- ing, April 5, at National Commandery Hail, with an open meeting. Past Grand Com- mander Yates was present and made a brief address, and was followed by L. R. Trembly of National Commandery, M. L. Venable, J. H. A. Fowler, Dr. B. W. Sum- my, W. H. Main and others. At the next meeting, on the 20th, the degrees will be conferred on three candidates, =< Rawlings & Luckett, trustees, will sell at auction Saturday next at 4:30 p.m. premises 1616 L street.

Pleasant Does Rot Want 2 Change + of Name.s At a well-attended meeting last evening the Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Association decided that, while ft was and is willing to extend its boundaries, it will not re- linquish the name of Mount Pleasant. President J. W. Somerville presided, and in the absence of Sétretary Exley Mr. L. P. Lipscomb acted as such, The first mat- ter discussed was tldt of: street railroad connection with the eity proper. The vari- ous propositions of the different railroads were discussed, and: the matter was dis- missed with a declaration that the associa- tion was decidedly im favor of a line down 17th street. Attention was called. to the proposed switch-back railroad from 14th street to the Zoo, and the president of the association promised to watch the matter. Chairman J. B. Sleman of the committee on charities reported that the net receipts frem the village concert amounted to $137. Some fifty or sixty families in want had been relieved and about $35 still remained in the treasury. The report was very grat- ifying, and a vote of thanks was extended the committee. Chairman Emil Berliner of the special committee ‘appointed to suggest a general name for the Section west of Sherman avenue, north of Florida avenue, east of the Zoo and south of Piney branch and Spring road, submitted a report suggesting the name of Columbia Heights for the section and that the citizens of ‘the -terri- tery secure unification of interest by join- ing in one association. The suggestions were embadied in a reso- lution, when Mr. Chapin Brown opposed it. Mt. Pleasant was, he said, an histori- cal name, and the section had been known as such for thirty-five years. Indeed, he remarked, the whole section west of 7th street, north of Florida avenue and east of Rock creek was generally or familiarly known and referred to as Mt. Pleasant, and he believed it would be unwise to drop the name of Mt. Pleasant for any other. Mr. Berliner explained that the new map of the section, when placed on record, would obliterate the name of Mt. Pleasant and all others, and he believed that the boundaries of the association should at least be enlarged. Mr. Sleman favored extending the boundaries, but opposed the dropping of the name of Mt. Pleasant. Mr. Ricketts so believed, and he called at- tention to the fact that the Mt. Pleasant Association initiated the movement against the locating of the contagious hospital on Columbia Heights and won the fight, al- though the site was “within the jurisdic- tion of the Columbia Heights Association. President Somerville stated that the Mt. Pleasant~ Association had made a name for itself and had‘the reputation of getting all it asked. It was unfortunate that so many names prevailed in the section men- tioned, but the name of Mt. Pleasant should be retained. Mr. Somerville denied that the association wished to compel other associations to join it, and explained that the committee had been appointed merely to select a general name for the section. After one or two more members had discussed the matter, the resolution was laid over until the next regular meeting, Mr. Sleman giving notice of a motion to amend the constitution by enlarging the boundaries of the association. A resolution introduced at the last meet- ing of the association in reference to a movement having for its object an increase of the number of District Commissioners to eight, was referred to'a special com- mittee, consisting of :President Somerville and Messrs. Chatfield and Ricketts.

The meeting then adjourned. ee Epworth League Officers. - A meeting of the officers of the Epworth League of the District was held last even- ing at Foundry M. E. Church. Reports were received showing the progress of the work. It was stated that on the 18th in- stant the regular monthly meeting of the District will be held, under the auspices of the finance committee, at which time Mr. Cox of Philadelphia will address the meet- ing on the subject of the great Epworth League convention, to be held from May 23 to 26 next. A delegation of at least one hun- dred is expected to go to the Baltimore an- nual conference next Monday. A report from the mercy and help department, of which Miss Fannie Meeks is president, showed a total of 246 visits made to the sick, aged and needy during February. The treasurer reported the finarices of. the vari- ous chapters in excellent condition. ————— We Are Proud of Our Goods, And will convince you we have reason’to be. $1.40 buys 5 lbs. of the best butter.
