The Interstate Democratic Association met at Costello’s Hall last night and the score of members present had a somewhat exciting time of it. President William G. Van Meter precipitated a warm discus- sion by making a long speech and winding up with tendering his resignation as pre- siding officer on the ground of the belief that his. usefulness as such had terminated. After a great amount of talk the resigna- tion was finally accepted. and something like harmony was restored, when the gath- ering broke up. Vice President B. F. Clay- ton was designated to act as president un- til an election to fill the office can be held. It is probable that he will be permanently chosen for the place. _ Lecture on Athletics. An illustrated lecture on athletic training was delivered last evening in the Y. M. C. A. Hall by Dr. W. P. Anderson, assistant director of physical culture at Yale Uni- versity. The lecturer showed a number of Pictures of apparatus used in the gymna- sium and said that proficiency in athletic work usually accompanies good class standing. He expressed decided views on the subject of boxing and sald that he was opposed to the brutal tactics of the aver- age modern athletic club. ——.— Lecture on the Bible. ‘The third lecture in the series of Bible lectures given under the auspices of the American Society of Religious Education was delivered last evening at the Metropol- itan M. E. Church by Rev. J. J. Muir. His theme was “The Bible and National Wel- fare.” ——— Mr. Sterrett's Second Lecture. Rey. J. McBride Sterrett gave the sec- ond of bis lectures on “Christian Ethics as Appbied to Practice” yesterday at Epi- phany Church. In defining his theme he said it was not necessary to believe a dog- ma biindly, but only to accept what could be substantiated. The Christian man must have an ideal and a standard, he said, and toward these he makes his life bend. ee Amateur Journalists. The last- meeting of the Capital City Club of Amateur Journalists was held at @he residence of the Misses Chambers. Some members resigned and there was one new member added to the list. Various questions were laid before the club and interestingly discussed. There were sev- eral steps made for literary advancement in the future. The next meeting will be at the Misses Chambers’ on the last Saturday in March. The program of the evening was as fol- Jows: Piano solo by Miss Grace Hillyer; song by Miss Florence Chambers; Indian club swinging by Mr. Ferguson; mandolin solo by M May Belle Chambers, and songs by Messrs. Bruce, Minitrel, Tyler and Lardis. The evening closed with a “needie-threading contest,” which was both amusing and enjoyable. The ladies’ first prize was won by Miss Dorothy Land- ers, the gentlemen's first prize by Mr. Milton Tibbetts. The ladies’ booby prize was carried off by Miss Wilbur, while the gentlemen's booby prize fell to Mr. Gos- Img. All enjoyed themselves greatly, and those who participated in the program were heartily applauded. ————— Good Templars’ Meeting. ‘The regular quarterly meeting of District Lodge, N of Good Templars was held on last evening with Columbia Lodge. Mr. Edw. H. Jones, the District chief templar, presided. Mr. Tuder of Minnehaha and Mr. Clark of Morning Star Lodge were elected as representatives to the Grand Lodge, with Mr. Davis of Columbia and Mr. Ketchum of Morning Star Idge as alternates. A paper by Mr. C, F. W. Berg- man as to the best methods for increasing the efficiency of the subordinate lodges treated that important question quite ex- haustively and proved a fruitful source for subsequent discussion, which was par- ticipated in very generally. Miss Lulu Lynch was appointed organist, and under her direction the new odes were practiced by all present with gratifying results. The executive committee will have direction ot the several branches of work planned for and immediate steps will be taken in this matter, —— The Linthicum Students.

CRITICISM OF THE LAW OFFICERS Public Meeting Under the Auspices of the Protective Association. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED The Vermont Avenue Colored Baptist Church was last evening crowded to its outer doors by hundreds of colored people, who came to express their indignation at the killing of Reuben Foster, the young cclored man who was shot by Policeman Green near Anacostia on the 4th instant, end to devise some plan for bringing the officer before a court of law. The meeting was held under the periees of the Citizens’ Protective Association, an organization of cclored people. Col. Perry Carson presided, and also made the principal address of the evening. Addresses were made also by Dr. Rebert Reyburn, E. M. Hewlett and the Rev. Mr. Taylor. Resolutions expressing the indignation of the meeting at the killing of Foster, con- demning the District authorities for per- mitting the officer to continue on duty, and authorizing the appointment of a commit- tee of eleven to wait upon. the District Commissioners, and a- committee of the same number to wait upon the President to secure the better protection of citizens, were unanimously adopted. Among those invited to address the meet- ing were Rev. J. E. Rarkin, ex-Mayor Bowen, Prof. W. H. H. Hart, Dr. C. B. Purvis, Wm. A. Cook and Dr. Robert Rey- burn, but the latter was the only one who attended. Colonel Carson waited for them until 8:30, however, and then called the meeting to order. Selections from the Scriptures were read by Rev. Geo. W. Lee, after which the Rev. Wm. Troy of Richmond, Va., invoked the Divine blessing. Then followed a lengthy address by Colonel Carson. Perry Carson's Views. Colonel Carson said that he had always been ready for action ever since he was thirteen years of age. But, he said, it was a mistake when {jt was announced that he was one of the speakers. He was known as a leader, as one who acted rather than talked. Out of almost a sick bed he had come, but he was determined to make the effort, although told that his death might result. He had but one life to yield, and he could not die in a better cause than in protesting against the butchery of a de- fenseless young man. It had been said that the character of Forrestet was bad, but it was as good as that of Policeman Green. People, said Colonel Carson, did not know Green as well as he did. “But,” said he, “I know him and I know that he shot at two or three white men in the first ward, and that he was sent to Anacostia because the people in the first ward de- manded it. So you see Mr. Green was in the habit of shooting at people, and the killing of Foster was not such an accident as some people imagine.” A voice—“It was a good shot, anyhow.” ¥ es, my friend,” continued Colonel Car- son, “it was a pretty good shot for an ac- cident.” “But he shot the boy in the back. All cowards shcot a man in the back. And you'll find that those officers who go around shooting people are cowards every time, and that kind are selected from the slums of the earth. You never find rep- utable policemen shooting down. men in order to arrest them. Ask Inspector Hol- linberger, Lieut. Kelly, Sergt. Falvey, Sergt. Byrnes, Detectives Weedon or Lacey or any other good, sensible officer if they ever had to shoot a man to arreet him, and they'll tell you no, there isn’t any occasion for it, Yet some of them have been on the force for thirty-two years, in times, too, when this place was much worse than it is now.” Colored Policemen. Col. Carson thought that the District au- thorities were responsible for acts like that of Ofticer Green, for the reason that they failed to select good material for police- men. “Why,” he exclaimed, “if they can’t get good white officers, is it they don't take colored men?” “Change the major of police,” shouted some ene in the audience, “and then you'll get colored men on.” “Now, my brother,” shouted back Col. Carson, “don't get hot. Keep cool, or we'll have to send you over to Anacostia.” That raised quite a laugh at the expense of the unknown opponent of Maj. Moore, and then Col. Carson went on to say that the killing of Foster justified the colored people of the District in going to the Com- missioners and telling that such things had gone on long enough. “But,” he exclaimed, “if the Commissioners won't do anything, we've got a President. He’s a democrat and I'm a republican, but he'll do what’s right. He’s done lots for us colored peo- ple, and,” he shouted amidst great cheering, “I believe he'll stand by us in this thing. We don’t care about the grand jury. The people of the District are our jury, and that jury is right with us. Funny thing about that grand jury. I can’t see much— I'm getting along now, sixty-one years old —but what I do see I sees well. Yesterday afternoon I see one of that grand jury come down the city hall steps. after they'd adjourned, and I see him give some of Green’s friends the wink. I knowed what that means, so I goes to Mr. Birney and tells him that they’re going to ignore the case. He says, ‘I think not,’ but see who’s right now. Didn’t Want Blood Money. “I was over in Anacostia early Sunday morning,” continued Col. Carson, in re- sponse to the encouraging cries of the audience, “and I see the relatives and friends of Green driving this way and that way, but I ain’t going to tell you what they were doing.” “Tampering with the jury?’ asked some one in :he audience. replied Col. Carson, laughingly, ‘ou said it, but I ain’t going to tell any- thing.” “How's Moss?” yelled some one. “Oh, he’s all right,” shouted Col. Carson, “but he'll have his time hereafter. But don’t ask me to talk about Moss; I want ‘to talk about something worth talking about. Didn't know they’d been to see me, did you? Well, I was told that there was $200 in it for me if I'd keep still. But I told the man—I won’t give you his name— I ain't taking blocd, money just yet. Only got two mules and a horse or two, but I ain't taking blood money. “Now, did it ever occur to you people that there have been twenty-six colored people shot down here? Well, they have, and thirteen were killed instantly. I tell you, folks, I'm afraid of the police. But I tell you another thing. If Foster had been my son I wouldn't have asked anybody to do anything. No, sir. Now, folks, are you going to let the Commissicners keep Green and men like him on the police force?” A mighty shout of “No, no,” went up from the audience, and then Col. Carson told the people before him that if they would follow him for three months they would not only have Green off the force and on the road to the penitentiary, but he accidents occurred. “But you colored peo- ple,” remarked Col. Carson, “soon forget things. Most of you seem to have forgot- ten that grand old man who left us the But I haven't, until I go, too If that old man was alive today the killing of Foster would have been | all over the country before this. We miss j him, but we can get things right if we go about it right. First, we will go to the po- | lice trial board, for ‘Officer Green violated | the rules in drawing his pistol. Then we'll | go to the Commissioners, and if they don’t do what's right we'll go to the President. | The whole people of the District are behind us, white and black, democrats and repub- licans, and we'll get what we're after, and ‘ol. Curson’s remarks had been constant- reeted with cheers and cries of ap- proval, and he concluded amidst much en- thusiasm. Br. Reyburn Spenks. He then introduced Dr. Robert Reyburn, after Pastor Lee had led the meeting in singing ‘“‘There’s a Great Day Coming.” Dr. Reyburn said that after Col. Carson's would see to it that no more such so-called_ remarks there was little for him to say. He discussed the shooting of Foster, and claim- ed that next to the coroner’s jury the cor- oner was to blame in not informing the jury. |. Moore was criticised by Dr. Reyburn for allowing Officer Green to con- tinue on duty after having committed mur- der, and he also criticised the District Com- missioners for upholding Maj. Moore. The remedy, declared Dr. Reyburn, was the restoration here of the right of suffrage. At the present time, he said, there was no responsibility for such deeds. The trouble was that the people could not right their wrongs. Had Foster, he declared, been the son of one of the Commissioners, the of- ficer would instantly have been brought to justice. Dr. Reyburn said little about the subject matter of the meeting, but said a great deal about the charms and advantages of suffrage here, and explained at great length the efforts being made to secure a different form of government here. Once suffrage secured, he said, everything would be levely and all right, and the millennium of the people of the District, he intimated, would be at hand. Grand Jury Criticised. Dr. Reyburn was followed by Mr. E. M. Hewlett, who made an impassioned ad- dress. He had, he sald, been made to feel ashamed of his adopted city after the un- expected action of the grand jury. He onld understand the coroner’s jury, but not the other. But he had learned many things during the last day or so. One of them was that Foreman McCathran of the grand jury was a brother of Lieut. Mc- Cathran, who had charge of the police in Anacostia and Hillsdale. “That,” exclaim- ed Mr. Hewlett, “explains about every- thing, don’t it? But do not be alarmed, my friends, do not give up. Next month there will be another grand jury, and then we will see if this officer is not indicted. But if that grand jury should fail us, we'll try grand jury after grand jury for years. Now, it is said that one of the reasons the grand jury refused to indict Green was because Foster was a bad man. I tell you he was not much more than a boy, and not worse than the average young man of to- day. It is true he had been convicted two or three times of being disorderly or some- thing of that kind, but I tell you, my friends, that if our Savior should walk the streets of Washington today he would be arrested and Judge Kimball would convict him.” Mr. Hewlett is a colored attorney, prac- ticing mostly, it is said, before the Police Court, and his reference to Judge Kimball, after a mcment of surprise, was greeted with cheers and with cries of “that’s so. Now you're talking.” “Judge Kimball,” hastened to say Mr: Hewlett, “is a kind-hearted, Christian man, and means to do well, but he does not know. He believes in convicting every* body, and in that way he has injured our people more than all the gambling and whisky in the District. Now,” said Mr. Hewlett, “I’m going to say something I didn’t want to say, but Dr. Reyburn touch- ed near it, and that is that if Foster had been a white man Mr. Green would be an indicted man today. That’s true as true can be, but, as sure as the sun shines, Green will yet be indicted, and just as surely will he land in the penitentiary.” The Resolntions Adopted. The committee on resolutions then re- ported a series of resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. The resolutions refer to the killing of Foster as unjustifiable and unlawful, and assert “gross injustice and ridiculous and dastardly trédtment of the affair” by the verdict of the coroner’s jury. The resolu- tions further allege that an “insane race prejudice inspired the verdict of the jury.” The growing disposition of policemen to use their pistols was condemned, and the sentence imposed on, Officer Terry was criticised as being too mild.. The resolu- tions further provided for the appoint- ment by the chairman of the meeting of two committees of eleven members each, one to wait upon the President and the other upon the District Commissioners. While a collection was being taken to de- fray the incidental expenses of the move- ment, Prof. Layton and the church organ- ist rendered several musical selections, and then the Rev. J. Anderson Taylor made the closing address. Mr. Taylor taunted the colored people of the District with be- ing cowards, and declared that unless they took matters in their own hands, they would continue to be prosecuted. He did not suggest or favor violence, but if the 85,000 negroes here would rise up and say that bloodshed and violence had to be stopped they would receive the support of 8,000,000 negroes in the land, and it would be stopped. If the Commissioners did not give them redress they should go to the President, and if he failed them, then to the country at large. A letter of regret was read from ex-Com- missioner M. M. Parker, and then, after Messrs. Hewlett, Wilburn, Jones, Freeman, Peyton, Taylor, Wormley, Lee and ‘Dr. Reyburn had been appointed a committee to wait upon the Commissioners and de- mand the instant removal from the force of Officer Green, the meeting adjourned. ———— DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP. The Subject Outlined and Stated in an Ethical Lecture. Prof.E.J. James of the University of Penn- sylvania was the lecturer in the School of Ethics yesterday, and the subject was “The Duties of Citizenship.” The first question treated was whether there was any duty of the citizen to the state. It has been taught that a man should die for his country, but it was not so well taught that a man should live for her. This civic duty, if it exist, the speaker said, was wholly apart from the duty toward God or man as an individual. “The citizen when he has cast his bal- lot,” said Prof. James, “has not covered the whole field of his usefulness, though a true sense of civic responsibility will well direct the bestowal of a citizen's vote. There was a time when people dreamed that universal suffrage would bring about the millenium, and that 12en when given a chance weuld vote for the best repre- sentatives and all would be well. The fact of universal suffrage is accomplished, but the dreamed of millenium has not arrived. Looking in the broader field of social life we find that the condition of the great mass of the population, while better in many respects than it was fifty years ago, is still far from desirable. What good can be done by homes, hospitals and institu- tions for the care of the acutely afflicted is being done on quite a liberal scale, but a deficient sense of civic responsibility on the part cf the citizen leaves much to be de- sired in the way of improvement, especial- ly.among the younger generation who are to form the population of the United States a decade or two hence.” Civic responsibility needed, said he, lo be taught and preached till the whole body politic was infused with the sense of neces- sity for action. In this connection the speaker commended the formation of the civic center in Washington and the work of the university extension movement in other cities. He advocated the teaching of social economy in graded schools all over the country, as well as in the colleges, for only 10 per cent of the whole popula- tion ever advanced beyond the stage of the grammar school. It was’ in such teaching and study as this that the true duties of citizenship would be best taught and de- veloped. - a Setntectecfecntoctectetetecter Sa oe a ae as R D, POWDER Absolutely Pure.

The inquest held at the sixth police sta- tion yesterday in the case of the death of the colored boy. Augustus Brown showed plainly the danger of playing in the street. The accident resulting in the death of the boy occurred at Massachusetts avenue and 2d street.. Joseph Garner, driver of the heavy express. wagon: that ran over the boy, was present at the inquest. Dr. Church of the Emergency Hospital ap- Peared as a witness and described the in- juries. There was a marked fracture cf the skull. He said that the boy died about eight hours after he reached the hospital, and he thought that death resulted from cerebral hemorrhage and shock. A small.white ‘boy named Louts. Notes was examined. He was present when the accident. happened. He was on the wagon with the other boys, but he did not get hurt. Witness saw ‘Gussie’ Brown when he fell off and got run over. “Did the driver tell you to get off?” he was asked. “Yes, sir,” was his response. “Did you get off?” ~ “Yes, sir, but Gussie went back and got on a second time.” This witness could not tell whefher the front or rear wheel passed over Gussie. John Washington, a little colored boy, was next called, and-he.was 80 busy eat- ing a piece of dry bread that the jurors had to wait for him to finish before they could question him. “We was all catching on behind the wagon,” said John, when he had finished his lunch. On account of his size he was questioned concerning his knowledge of the nature cf an oath, but he declared he did not know what would become of him if he told an untruth. He was then questioned without being put under oath, and he told how the boys had been playing in the street, and how they jumped on the wagon. 3 “We jumped on behind,” he sald, “but Gussie jumped on at the side.’ “Did the man drive you off?” Fe sir, but Gussie went back a second ime.”” “And then what happened?” “He fell down and the wagon squashed his head.” “Whose fault was it?” ‘Twas his own fault, because he kept on -getting on the wagon when the man told him to get off.” Henry Coulter was called, but as he did pete witness the affair ne was not exam- ined. The driver of the team was next sworn. He'said he was driving four horses, draw- ing a flat wagon, and he remembered driv- ing two white chiJdren off the wagon near H street. When questioned about the col- ored children on the wagon, he said he did not see them, and he did not stop because he knew nothing of the accident. The first he knew of it was when the police sent word to the stable. This closed the testimony and the jury returned a verdict exonerating the driver. ———_—_ VETERA IN COUNCIL. Meeting of the Washington Members of the Third Army Corps. The thirty-third anniversary of the or- ganization of the Third Army Corps was celebrated last night at Willard’s by the Washington branch of the corps.

The*New National Theater.—Sol Smith Russell played Dr. Pangloss in’ “The Heir- at-Law” at the New National Theater last night in a manner which established his claim to rank among the exponents of the higher lines of legitimate comedy. As a tule his plays have been rather flimsy affairs—good only in the sense that they are adequate vehicles for the personality of the star. It cannot be said that the actor sinks his identity in his part in the Present instance. It would be impossible for Russell to get away from his peculiar and lovable self. And if he were to suc- ceed in so doing it would probably be a misfortune. His Dr. Pangloss is none the less a clean, intelligent and well-considered Plece of stage humor. His success in the role is the more emphatic because of the comparison which necessarily arises in the minds of people familiar with the theater with some of the most able actors of the century who made this role a prominent one in their repertoires. Mr. Russell has mannerisms, but they are wholesome, agreeable mannerisms, such as lend a charm to what he does instead of requir- ing the indulgence of his audience. The supporting eompany were seen to good advantage, particularly Mr. Hudson, whose Zekiel Homespun was an excellent piece of chatacter work. Rev. Dr. Stafford’s Lecture.—The well- known lecturer, Rev. D. J. Stafford, D.

The next lecture is on Friday evening at the same place. Mrs. Berry’s Musicale—The musicale to be given by Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry at Metzerott’s Music Hall tomorrow evening promises to be a rare musical treat. She will be assited by the Philharmonic, the Apollo and the Tuxedo Mandolin and Gui- tar Quartets. Two able pianists, Miss Lotta Mills and Mr. Henry Xander, are also on the program, together with Mr. Herman Rakemann, the well-known violinist. Mrs. Berry is perhaps one of the best-known singers in this city, and this, together with the excellence of the program, will insure a large attendance.

CONGRESS AND SUNDAY. ‘Women Temperance Workers Pass Resolutions of Censure. At the monthly meeting of the executive committee of the Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union of the District last night a resolution was adopted condemning the Sunday session of the late Congress at its close. The resolution declared “that much drunkenness and unbecoming conduct and dissipation prevailed in both the Senate and the House resteurants on that day,” and deplored “‘the demoralizing effect of these things upon the country at large, especially upon the youth of our land, and we appeal to the states to join us in open and practical condemnation of the officials who thus sacrificed the honor of their homes, their states and the nation.” The resolution also extended the sympa- thies of the association to the employes of the Zoological Park for being compelled to work on Sunday. ————— Phi Kappa Psi Alumni. Plans for the organization of an alumni association were discussed at a meeting held last evening at the Columbian Uni- versity by the alumni of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. A. H. E.
