The second of the series of Lenten ad- dresses conducted under the auspices of the Churchman’s League was delivered at Ascension Church last night by-the Right Reverend William Paret, bishop of Mary- land. His subject was “The Christian Man in the Parish.” He said there Was an un- used force in the Episcopal Church today which should be turned to good account in the reclamation of the fallen and the saving of souls. It is composed of Chris- tian men of vigorous inteilect, splendid education and strong purpose, whose en- thusiasm should be aroused in order that they might take a more active interest in practical church work. The church needed such assistance in order to combat the evils that surround- ed it. The poor should be besought to come to church and be made welcome when they got there, and the morally sleeping should be awakened and brought to a realization of the solace and comforts of Christianity. Bishop Paret urged country parishioners to hold cottage services and to work in the Sunday school and to take the church in this way into the homes of far-away communicants who could not attend reg- ular services. The address was listened to with great interest by a large congregation. Sa ee PROSPECT HILL CEMETERY. No Farther Objection to North Capitol Street Passing Through It. At the annual meeting of the Prospect Hill Cemetery Association held last night it was informally decided that no fur- ther action would be taken in opposition to the extension of North Capitol street through the cemetery grounds, it having been decided by the Court of Appeais that the land used for the purpose would be equitably paid for. There have been fewer burials recently on account of the fear that the proposed street extension wouid disturb graves. The association, however, announces that new ground will be fur- nished for the reburial of remains that may be disturbed. Upon motion, President William Stiebling appointed a committee to audit the ac- counts of the association, naming L. Eck- ert, H. Krause and Charles Bischof, and he also appointed W. Koch, F. Reh, H. Schultze and W. Rockdaeschel tellers to conduct the election of officers to be neld next Tuesday evening. The nominations to be acted upon are: Board of directors, George Wagner, Theodore Pitt, George C. Rick, J. A. Griesbauer, C. A. Brickwedde, Charles Graff and Martin Hebner; pres dent, William Stiebling; secretary, L. Eck- ert. SS Good Templars’ Meeting. District Lodge, No. 3, Independent Order of Good Templars, met last evening at the hall of Goodwill Ledge. The attendance was large and District Chief Templar Al- bert E. Shoemaker presided. District de- gree was conferred upon ten new members. The committee on state of the order re- ported a comprehensive plan for union meetings to be held successively with each lodge in district No. 3, the program for which will be the joint production of all. Plans for the more systematic attention to non-attending members were discussed and suggested for adoption by the subordinate lodges, as was the competition system of credits for excellence in lodge work. The ways and means committee reported a sim- ple and effective financial plan, which was referred to the executive committee. Be- fore closing the lodge was addressed by Mr. Geo. Giles of Independent Lodge. Dis- trict Lodge, No. 2, which meets this even- ing with Columbian Lodge, has planned a meeting of great attractiveness, at which plans for enlarging the work will also be discussed. ————— An Evening in Iceland. Next Monday evening, at the Washington Light Infantry armory, the entertainment which the boys of that corps have been working so hard over of late will be opened. It is to be styled “An Evening in Icelan running for two weeks, and will be one of the most unique spectacles ever presented in this city. The whole room has been changed into a veritable ice palace, icicles hanging from the ceiling and snow incrust- ing the floor and walls, while nearly 2,000 electric lights will stud the white canopy overhead and illuminate the special fea- tures of the show. In the center of the room wili be a flower booth, built on the Moorish style of architecture, while im one corner will be a real waterfall, with cal- cium and electric lights showing off to good a ntage amid the spray and falling water. A band will be in attendance and a promenade concert will occupy the first portion of each evening, followed by danc- ing for those who are so inclined.

HOW THE BOYS ARE GETTING ALONG Comments of One of the Club on His Associates. GENERAL SPORTING TOPICS —— Ed. Cartwright, the jolly hard-hitting first baseman, has been elected by a vote of his clubmates, to captain the Washing- ton team for the coming season. The selec- tion was made by ballot inCharleston a few daysago. Joyce has not written a letter to Mr. Wagner for many months. The latter offered “Capt. Bill” $2,000 for this season, but he has not displayed much enthusiasm on the subject. The team is going ahead without him, and the selection of Cart- wright as captain indicates that Jack Crooks may be stationed at third base this season. It is said that Danny Coogan is developing great activity in the infield at practice, and it is the intention of the management to train Danny for third base work. He may not be called to occupy that position this sea- sen, but that was the object in securing him, for while McGuire is in condition, there will be but little chance for any other catchér behind the bat. A Happy Family. The Washingtons appear to be a happy family this year, as will be seen by the following extract from a letter one of the members of the team wrote to a friend in this city: “Thinking you might like to hear a little news concerning the new Senators, I take the liberty of writing you anyhow. The new men show up in great shape. Coogan is pleasing in every way, and his ability to hold his end up in league company has al- ready been fully demonstrated. A hard, quick and accurate thrower, and can play am outfield position to perfection. “Nicholson handles himself very cleverly, and his work thus far stamps him fully capable of playing second base as well as any man in the league. Kruinin, the big Columbus pitcher, is an unknown quantity as yet, but he has speed and control, and talks as if he knows the work of a pitcher thoroughly. Hanseman at short is all right, too. His fielding is clean and his throwing all that could be wished for. He's a hitter, too, and uses good judgment and headwork around that corner of the dia- mond. “Collins, the all-around man, will by a lit- tle coaching hold his own all right. He is Quick and plays a very nice field. Crooks on third shows up in splendid form. His aim is good and strong, and he has his eye on the ball from the jump. You may rest assured that he will play ball this year in his ‘91-’92 form. “Boyd and Mularkey, the Virginia leaguers, are getting into shape and wili do in every respect. Last Year's Team. “As for the members of last year’s team, they have at this time worked the winter's avoirdupois off and are all feeling first rate. You can bank on seventh place or better, and don’t you forget it. Joyce and Hassa- mear have not yet put in an appearance, and you know about as much concerning them as I do. Mahoney, the new catcher, joins us tomorrow evening, I believe, hav- ing only recently left a sick bed. “The members of the club this morning voted for a captain, and on the second bal- lot selected Ed Cartwright. The ‘gong’ rings at 8 o'clock in the morning, and we breakfast at 8:39. About 10 or 10:30 we take our usual morning waik of from 5 to 10 miles. The distance depends on how the genial Gus feels, but it’s generally a i0- mile feeling. We lunch at 1, and at 2 o’clock put on our uniforms and enjoy a good three hours’ practice. The boys are all in good condition now, and seem to have their whole minds on making a hard fight this year.” THE Executive © nittce of the National Association Fix Dates. ‘The executive committee of the National Lawn Tennis Association met at the Hotel Waldorf in New York last night to ar- range dates for the big tournaments of the year. Some dates of local tournaments were left undecided and the place for hold- ing the southern championships was not fixed. The western championships were also left over for the next meeting.

The attendance at Alexander Island yes- terday was again small, and as three fa- vorites and two second choices secured brackets, the nine men bekind the slates finished several lengths behind the talent. The track was heavy with mud and water, and in but one race—the fourth—was there anything like a contest. The winners were: Mattie Chun, 2 to 1; Sonora, 3 to 5; His Grace, 1 to 2; Flash, 3 to 1, and Gon- zales, 4 to 5. The Trotting Meeting at Baltimore. The Gentlemen’s Driving Park Associa- tion at Baltimore, strictly a trotting and pacing association, and a member of the Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York spring circuit, has decided to give twelve races, and arranged the following excellent program: First day, 2.24 trot, 40 trot; second day, 2.21 trot, a) trot; third day, 2.18 trot, 2.10 pace, 2.27 trot; fourth day. trot, 2.18 pace, 2.13 trot.

Officials of the Eastern League met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York to- day. Eastern League officials claim that at least six of their best players have been taken away from them by the big league without compensation, and P. J. Powers, ident of the Eastern League, will en- or to have the whole question of pro- tection settled at this meeting. ‘The official averages of the Eastern League players for 1894 have been given out by President Powers.

President McNéalus gf the Texas South- ern Base Ball League in an interview, says: “Every club has*paid its protection money, including San Antonio and Austin. National agreement ‘protection is now as- sured for the eight clubs of the league, and every player that has signed a contract since last October will have to fulfill the same.” In Support of the Gray Bill. The Fleetwood Park Association held a secret meeting at the Hotel Metropole, New York, last night. A resolution, offered by L. A. Burke, was adopted, that the presi- dent of the association, in addition to three other members, should constitute a work- ing committee in support of the Percy-Gray bill now before the legislature. The presi- dent, Andrew Miller, named R. H. Murray, L. A. Burke and S. Rudd as the committee. No Trip for the Freshmen Nine. NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 13.—The Yale faculty has voted to prohibit the freshmen class from playing any base ball this year, outside of New Haven, or with other college nines, anywhere. This isga punishment for the action in the freshmen in creating a disturbance at the Glee Club concert here, in January. St. Louis Players Hold Off. ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 13.—Catcher Peitz and Pitcher Clarkson have, so far, refused to sign contracts for the coming season with the St. Louis Browns, and Brown, for whom Shugart was traded to Louisville, is also holding back. It was reported that President Von der Ahe is trying to get Shugart back again, but on this question he emphatically de- clared himself as follows: “I do not want Shugart on any terms. If Brown does not want to play in St. Louls, he will not play anywhere.” Peitz is holding out for $1,800, which Von a Ahe says is $200 more than he will give. Another Track for Baltimore. ‘The Baltimore Jockey Club has leased a track of laad for five years in the vicinity of the Arlington track, with the object of building a new mile track. The deal was made in the Oxford Hotel Monday night. M. J. Conlahan is at the head of a syndi- cate who secured the lease of the Arling- ton for the purpose of forestalling any pos- sible opposition. Cornell’s Crew's Propoxed Trip. About four hundred Cornell students met last night at Ithaca to consider ways and means of raising the $5,000 which shall complete the sum of $9,000 necessary: to send an eight to the Henley regatéa. Dean White showed a number of lantern views of the Henley course, and announced that an official communication in the most friendly terms has beeni received from the Cambridge University naval authorities, of- fering Cornell the use, of their training quarters. Much enthusiasm was shown by the students present, and there is every in- dication that thé necessary amount will be raised by Saturday. Again Kept From Playing. Rain again prevented Savannahans from witnessing a ‘game of ase ball yesterday afternoon betwéen the’ Washington and Brooklyn teams, All day long the clouds hung over the city and it looked like rain. The teams, though, went out on the dla- mond, and there were perhaps 200 people in the grand stand at the Bell Ball Park at 4 o'clock, the hour the; games are Called. At this time, though, it began to rain, and continued so for an hour. The game had therefore to be called off. If the weather permits, Brooklyn will play Washington today, and tomorrow will go to Charleston with the team, where three games are to be played. Tonight’s Fight at Memphis. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 13.—Great in- terest is being manifested in the fight to- night before the Pastime Athletic Club be- tween Shadow Maber and Kid McCoy. Both men have been training for the last three weeks, and are in excellent condition. Maber will weigh about 146 pounds, while McCoy will enter the ring three pounds heavier. The fight is advertised as a ten- round contest, but in all probability it will be continued, unless one of them is knock- ed out earlier. Considerable money is be- ing wagered at the odds of 50 to 40, with Maber the favorite. Heavy Losses on Horses. SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.—Small for- tunes have been won and lost at the Bay District track during the past three weeks. Large sums have been wagered on several races. Riley Grannan, the celebrated Ken- tucky plunger, who wagered a fortune on Henry of Navarre and Domino race last year, has had a run of bad luck, and is reported to have lost $25,000 since his re- turn to California last month. Grannan came to California last season and cleaned up $52,000 in less than two months. He went east with his pile and returned with $8,000 more, increasing his winnings to $60,000. Mr, Smith, better known as “Pitts- burg Phil,” has made as much as Riley Grannan has lost, and is $30,000 ahead of the game, making a winning almost every day. He is not the reckless bettor that Grannan ts, but being a shrewd judge of horses backe his judgment irrespective of talent. David Gideon of that famous racing firm of Gideon & Daly is reported to be $20,000 winner on the season. Sporting Notes. The Maine Collegiate Base Ball League has been formed at a meeting of the man- agers of Colby, Bowdoin and Maine state colleges yesterday. A schedule was pre- sented for the coming season. At the Boston Athletic Association last night a movement was started for the for- mation of a gymnastic union, to include organizations from Boston and_ vicinity, which shall eventually embrace New Eng- land. ‘At the final matches in the Yale pool tour- nament yesterday afternoon Robert A.

Midnight Collection From All City Boxes is Made Permanent. Some weeks ago the local post office au- thorities, with a view of increasing the fa- cilities and adding to the conventence of the public, began a series of experiments to ascertain how the mail deposited in the va- rious boxes scattered throughout the city: might be most rapidly collected and dis- patched to its destinations. It was de- cided to ascertain how a late collection would do, and consequently the hour of 12:30 a. m. was chosen as the time when all mail receptacles should be visited and their contents brought to the main office. The result of the first night's work con- vinced Postmaster Willett of the wisdom of making such a midnight collection a per- manent feature of the system, for over 3,500 letters were brought into the office. As the usual 9 o'clock collection had been made, it was abundantly proven that a large amount of the correspondence in Washington was transacted at night and the letters deposited in the boxes after 9 and before 12. The usual early moraing collection next day at 5 o'clock emphasized the truth of this, as not a hundred letters were found in the entire city. Postmaster Willett thereupon determined to abolish the 5 a. m. collection and continue that at 12:30 a. m., because the letters collected at the latter hour could be sent out on the early trains, leaving at 3 and 4 o'clock and there- abouts in the morning. In this way letters Posted in Washington after 9 o'clock at night will reach their destination several hours earlier than usual, and quicker busi- ness and social communication established between Washington and other points. Commencing tomorrow, therefore, the following schedule will be put in operation. The deliveries on the business routes will be at cae aad 10:30 a.m. gnd 12:15 and 3 .m., the former 4:30 p.m. Pomitiods p.m. delivery being The collection now being made at 3 o'clock p.m. will be made at 4 o'clock p.m. on all routes at main office; the present 4:30 p.m. collection being omitted. The de- liveries in the resident sections will be at 7 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.. ‘30, ae 10:30 a.m. and 1:30, 4:00, 7:00 The collections will be at am., 9 and 9.00 -m. The only collection heretofore made on Sunday had been at 5 o'clock in the even- ing, but the midnight collection will be pa on Sundays the same as on week jays. These changes will not entail any extra work upon the carriers and coilectors, as they are not allowed to work more than eight out of the twenty-four hours. It was announced by Postmaster Willett today that on April 1a subpost office sta- tion for the transaction of money and reg- istry business and the sale of postal sup- plies would be established at the ‘drug store of Thorn & Underwood, corner ist and F streets southwest. It will be known as substation No. 25. ———_—_ LOOKING FOR A BURGLAR. He Made Things Lively for the Family of Col. Metzger. - At an early hour yesterday morning there was an exciting scene in the house of Col. Philip Metzger, No. 320 2d street south- east, when a masked burglar visited sev- eral rooms in the house and demanded cash. The affair was reported to the police and the case is being looked after, but the burglar ‘s still at large. It appears from the report made by the police that the burglar first appeared in the servant's room, then tried other doors, and finally entered the room of Col. Metzger’s son, on the top floor, but failed to awake him, al- though the sleeper’s clothing was searched without finding any particular amount of money. Miss Susie Metzger, who had heard the burglar try the door of her room, went out in the hallway and met him. She called to her brother, who responded, but the bur- glar had left. Miss Metzger ran to the wii dow and cried police, and when Col. Metz- fer looked out of the window and saw the burglar running, he called to a colored man who was passing to apprehend him, The burglar turned and fired twice at the colored man without effect, so young Mr. Metzger says, and then ran out of sight. The elder Metzger was a colonel in the Union army, and is now employed in the pension office. — The Universalist Club. The Universalist Club held its last meet- ing of the season last evening in the Church of Our Father. Ten new members were elected, and then an enjoyable pro- gram was presented, numbers being con- tributed by the High School Banjo Club, Miss Grace McCullough, Mr. Wood, Miss Hearst, Mr. Robert Stearns and others. The entertainment was under the direction of Mr. S. M. Ryder. — Children of the Revolution. It is the intention of several members of the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to form a branch in this city of “The Cnildren of the American Revolution,” an order organized in pursu- ance of a resolution adopted at the recent congress, and having for its objects the perpetuation of the intention of the parent organization and preparing children for the work of commemorating the present observances, which will be their duty later in life. A chapter has already been formed in Concord, Mas and numerous others are being arranged for throughout the country. Mrs. M. S. Lockwood, editor of the American Magazine, is giving her com- plete attention to the formation of the Washington chapter, and feels much grati- fied at the encouragement the -proposition is receiving.

A colored woman who is known as Millie Peyton, Mary Moten and by a number of cther names has served two terms in the penitentiary, so the police say, and now ske is in a fair way to return there. She was a domestic in the employ of Mrs. An- drews, at 231 Massachusetts avenue north- east, and when a diamond ring worth $125 disappeared from the house, the police at once suspected the servant. Yesterday she was taken in custody by Detectives Weeden and Lacy, and after being detain- ed for a long time she made a confession. Before making the confession Lawyer Chase called to see her, and when he left headquarters the officers watched him, and saw a colored man named Isaac Dale come from his office. Isaac was overhauled and questioned about the missing ring, and he admitted that he had received it from the woman under arrest, and had disposed of it at the saloon of a colored man named William H. Booker, corner of 13th and D streets southeast. Then it was that the woman confessed.
