Government Control of Monopolies Suggested and Approved. Prof. Adams’ lecture yesterday in the School of Ethics had for its subject “Pro- posed Solution of the Social Problem,” but {t dealt closely with the subject of govern- ment control of railroads as an illustration of what should be done to control monopo- lies. He divided the labor problem into two questions—the labor question and the monopoly question. The former, he said, could never be a political question, because the conditions between laborer and em- ployer vary sé greatly that no party plat- form could cover them. The monopoly question, however, could be dealt with by political movements. He predicted that voluntary arbitration would settle labor questions, There must be responsible administration on the part of employers and intelligent demand and consent on the part of employes, with the result that the labor contract would guar- antee protection to both parties, “The chief social danger incident to the organization of industry contemplated by arbitration,” said Prof. Ad “is that as the benetits incident to arbitration increase in value, the more fortunate laborers may exclude others from these benefits. So, if arbitration is to prove more than a tem- porary solution of labor difficulties, the government must accept as a new care the duty of keeping open the doors of op- portunity. Trades unions must be incor- porated to have a legal existence, and be Hable for all they shall undertake. The government must incidentally take a de- cided stand upon the\ matter ofan open and untrammeled market, for nothing in the nature of a monopoly can be allowed. My own thought is that monopolies of all sorts may be adequately controlled through the development of commissions.” —— AMU MENTS. Mr. Fox’s Readings.—Tonight at Build- ers’ Exchange Hall there will be readings in the mountaineer dialect, from his own stories, by Mr. John Fox, jr. author of “A Mountain Europa,” “A Cumberland Vendetta” and “The Last Stetson,” the last not yet having been published, and a portion of which will be given to the pub- fie for the first time tonight. Mr Fox ts said to be an excellent reader, and as his published stories have gained a wide popu- larity, great interest is felt in hearing him interpret the characters that have excited so much praise. The Bischoff Concerts.—Th2 next concert in the Bischoff course will take place in the Congregational Church tonight. The talent will be Mrs. Ettie Reeves Alderman, Miss Lillian Sefton, Miss Cassavant, Mrs. H. M. Smith, Miss Laura Zeh, Miss Lillian Hunt, Miss ‘Virginia Goodwin, Miss Ada Louise Townsend, Mr. G. A.’ Clark, Mr. Fred Grant and Dr. J. W. Bischoff. Mr. Rakemann’s Musicale.—Tonight Mr. Herman Rakemann will give a musicale at the Universalist Church. The program will be furnished by his violin pupils, as- sisted by Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry. Merchant Tailors’ Banquet. A banquet will be given by the Merchant Tailors’ Association of this city at the Down-Town Club on Tuesday evening. A number of guests from out of the city have been invited. ——__ Not over 1,000 crates of pineapples will come north from the Lake Worth region, against 80,000 last season, Religiotis Revivals in Progress in Several of the Churches. A Protest Against Placing Car Tracks on Certain Streets—Other Notes of General Interest. A “religious cyclone” such as comcs about once in every decade seems to have struck this town, and much good work is being done for the cause of the Gospel. Besides the Episcopal and Roman Catholic churches, which hold services every day at least once, the churches of every other de- nominaticn are holding services every night and many conversions are being made. On Sunday night next a series of revival meet- ings will be inaugurated in the Southern Methodist Church ,by Mr. Schoolcraft, the evangelist, who has recently ‘lone such good work in Fredericksburg. He will be assisted by Capt. Woody of this city. Two services a week are held at the railroad reading rooms, and many young men are being. brought into the hearing of the Bible. Mr. E. W. Gamble of the Episcopal Theo- logical Seminary, who has charge of this mission, has organized a Bible class for men and one for women, which will meet every Sunday afternoon. The Second Pres- byterian Church was crowded again last night and the services were equally as in- teresting as those which have preceded. The interest in the meetings is growing perceptibly. Mr. Rice~will preach again to- night at a quarter to 8 o'clock. City Council Censured. The citizens living on Wilkes street be- tween Royal and Pitt are stirred up over the recent action of the city council grant- ing the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company the right to lay a connection on that street between its tracks and those of the South- ern Railway Company. They say that the bill was literally “railroaded” through the council while they were asleep, and that they had no chance to raise an ob- jection. Capt. James Webster, one of the residents, has employed a lawyer to sue out an injunction, but the track is nearly completed. Many people say that consid- ering the very poor accommodations afford- ed the citizens of Alexandria by the elec- tric railway company, they are granted too many privileges, and many are of the opinion that in granting the privileges it should be done with the proviso that proper accommodations be afforded. The street schedule, they say, is a farce, and the question now is: “What days in the week do the cars run up the street, and on what days do they return?” In consequence of the change in the schedule of freight rates over the electric road, and change in the route, most of the milk is now taken to Washington in wag- ons. The dairymen bad been paying the electric road a cent a gallon to the ferry wharf, and a half a cent a gallon to the ferry company to Washington. A short time ago the electric railroad company in- formed shippers that they. would be charg- ed one and a half cents a gallon to the ferry wharf, or a cent and three-quarters from along the line, to Washington, by way of the Washington and Southern rail- een of the shippers objected to the chan; Admitted to Probate. In the corporation court yesterday the -will of the late Mrs. John B. Perry was admitted to probate, with M. B. Perry as executor. Mrs. Perry left the house, to- gether with the furniture, on Prince street to Mrs. M. B. Perry,and divided the resi- due of her estate, which will amount to between $7,000 and $8,000, between her chil- dren and grandchildren. Officers Elected. At the annual meeting of the Methodist Protestant Church the following officers were elected: Secretary of the church, J. H. Trimyer; stewards, N. S. Greenaway, Edgar Lyles, R. E. L. Tyler, J. H. Tri- myer, E. V. Atwell, J. T. Cook, H. M. Hantzman, Chas. Hantzman and Augustus Deane. J. R. Caton was elected delegate and Edgar Lyles alternate to the annual ecnference, which meets in this city on the first Wednesday in April. Delegates were instructed to ask for the return of the present pastor, Rev. F. J. Benson. Notes. The case against Raymond Smith, the driver of the hose wagon that ran over Arthur Pierson at Wednesday’s fire, was dismissed in the police court last night. The city school board held their regular monthly meeting last night. Only routine business was transacted. Mrs. A. D. McLeod is the guest of Mrs. L._E. Uhler on South Washington street. J. T, Burke has been elected to fill the vacancy in the vestry of St. Paul’s Church caused by the death of the late Gen. Mont- gomery D. Corse. Wyatt Timberlake, the young student at the High School who fell from the fire es- cape while walking in his sleep, is improv- ing and has been taken to his home in Lynchburg. Alexandria Council, National Union, held a reguiar meeting last night. The members of the M. P. Church will have a “high tea” at Odd Fellows’ Hall to- night. The city committee on public property held a meeting last night, Mrs. Henry Daingertield, sr., continues extremely ill at her home on Prince street. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Local Notes of Interest From Across Rock Creek. Last night there was a “love feast”’at the Ebenezer Church, following the series of revival services that has just closed. The occasion was one of great religious rejoic- ing. Dr. Seaton, the able pastor of Eben- ezer, conducted the ceremonies. There were many visitors present from Wash- ington churches. The revival services brought to the bench thirty converts. The Ebenezer congregation, since Dr. Seaton assumed charge, has grown to splendid proportions. Another Victim. Undertaker Clements yesterday shipped the body of J. J. Porter to Nomini, Va. Deceased was one of the men who jumped from the Stumph manufactory to the groun@ at the time ef the big conflagration there. Though the injuries received on that occasion were serious, malarial fever was the immediate cause of death. The end came at the Providence Hospital. ceased was but twenty-six years of age. Canal Opening. The 18th instant will witness the opening of the canal for the new season. Water will be turned on next week. About 190 coal boats will immediately go into com- mission, The season promises to be one of great prosperity. All the old boats during the last few months have been gotten into good condition, and many new ones will make their appearance.

The Bennington, which has been lying at Acapulco, Mex., for some weeks, has sailed for the Mare Island navy yard. One of her boilers has been injured, probably through carelessness, and it is expected that an investigation will be made to de- termine the responsibility for the damage. Her return to San Francisco is due lo the fact that nowhere else on the Pacitic coast can the necessary repairs be made. SOME DAY men may find a positive cure for Consumption, but it is a great thing to be able to prevent it, and in its early stages even to cure it. The only remedy yet known to prevent, as well as to cure in the early stages of the disease, is Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with the Hypo- phosphites of Lime and Soda. It acts in two ways—as a medi- cine destroying the germs which cause the disease, and as a food stopping the wasting (the con- suming), and replacing the lost flesh and tissue.

The poorer whites, as well as the negroes, are many of them half-starved. They will trap or shoot the game to its total extermination unless stringent measures are at once en- forced by the game laws. Numbers of sheep and calves are left with frosted feet and the domestic fowls survive with black- ened combs. Job's comforter says the May cherries are already gone, and the peach crop blighted in the bloom. oo —____ Elizabeth Dawes has been LL.D.’d by London University.
