Seven big Indian chiefs, Little Chief, Cow Chief, Young Whirlwind, White Horse, Little Wolf, Left Hand and Row of Lodges, are on their way to Washington, having been called to this city by the com- missioner of Indian affairs to discuss mat- ters pertaining to their welfare. The braves are from the Cheyenne and Arapa- hoe reservations, and are accompanied by two interpreters. Some of them have rever traveled on the cars before, and tried to persuade the interpreters to get them ponies to finish the journey. eee Another Suburban’ Trolley. The promoters of the proposed Wash- ington and Marlboro’ electric railroad met at the National Metropolitan Bank yester- day to make arrangements for actively pushing the enterprise to completion. President W. A. Melay occupied the chair and there were present Vice President Coffin, Secretary Stewart and Messrs. C. E. Coffin, R. V. Hall, J. T. Perkins and J. V. Belt of the board of directors. fter a discussion of the terms under which Congress has agreed to allow the road to enter the District, and an exchange of views on the cost of construction, it was decided to open the stock books at once, and to commence work on the line as soon as possible. pate ee Judge Morris’ Lecture. The lecture hall of the Catholic Uni- versity held a large audience yesterday afternoon to listen to a lecture by Judge Morris on the “Contest Between the Civil Law of Rome and the Common Law of England.” Judge Morris carefully traced the origin of the two distinct branches of equity and law in our jurisprudence and compared them with the civil law formu- lated by Justinian and the military organi- zations of society during the feudal period. The derivation of our common law from the latter conditions was clearly shown, while the source of our equity jurispru- dence was shown to be the old Roman system, SS Ww. c. T. U. The regular meeting of Prances E. Wil- lard Union was heid Wednesday at the residence of Mrs. Burch, 643 9th street northea lent, Mrs. Faehtz, pre- siding.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1895-TWELVE PAGES:- THE SOUPHOUSE Over a Hundred Thousand Meals for Seven Dollars. Excellent Character of the Charity Dispensed and the Generosity Shown by Citizens, When the Louisiana Avenue Soup House closes Saturday night it will have been open just fifty-five days, in which time 120,000 meals have been furnished to the hurgry poor of Washington. It is safe to say that no simijar amount of business can be shown by any other restaurant in the city. During the blizzard week, in Febru- ary, the soup house dispensed over 19,000 quarts of soup to its patrons, and the re- markable thing about the institution is it has Cost In a direct outlay of cash only the small sum of $7. Everything has been contributed—lator, meat, vegetables, fuel, superintendence, bread, dishes, utensils, stoves, boilers and service. Even the rent of the place was a centribution, thanks for which ure due to Mr. Thomas King, the owner. During the two-months in which the soup hcuse has been thus feeding the poor of Washingten, Mr. W. T. Crump, formerly steward at the White House, has given upremitting and almost sleepless attention to the management of the place, assisted very substantially by Capt. J. T. Smith. Mr. Adolphus Fredholm has had charge of the important work of soliciting supplies, giving his entire time, without compens: tion,during a large part of the two months: keeping accurate account of everything re- ceived. = Generous Givers. During this time also Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop have generously contributed the | uge every day, and several times a day, of one of their delivery wagons to gather up bread, meat and vegetables from the va- vious restaurants, bakeries and market- men. Schneider, Havenner, Behrens, and in- deed nearly all of the bakers of the city have regularly and systematically taken upon themselves the responsibility of keep- ing the soup house supplied with bread, so that never during the fifty-five days have the managers been unable to furnish with each cup or bowl of soup about one-third of a loaf of bread, or the equivaient in biscuit or the fragments of a loaf. The butchers all over Washingion have been equally generous. They have con- tributed during the fifty-five days 18,000 pounds of good, fresh, wholesome meat and bones. The produce men have also given a large amount of vegetables and general supplies required. The system of collection has been the same as that practiced Ey the Sisters of Charity, a representative of the soup house making a basket volle+tion daily from stall to stall of the market. Good Results. It is important to note some berfeficial results of this method of feeding the poor. For one thing, business men, who are charitably inclined, have had a means of giving something to applicants for as- sistance without giving money, the use of which in undeserving cases to buy drink, always deters kind-hearted people from giving at all. The soup house has made use freely of its tickets, so that busi- hess men generally when appealed to for help from puor people ‘have been able to give these tickets instead of money, and thus meet all moral requireménts upon them without risk of doing harm. It is noticeable, so the authorities state, that this method of charity has greatly reduced apparent evidences of extreme poverty and almost entirely done away- | with street begging. It may not seem entirely uncalled for to Say that the character of the food fur- nished by the soup house has been excel- Ient. People interested in charitable work who have visited the place have always been very politely offered specimen bow!s of soup taken before their eyes from the immense boilers, and served precisely in the same way that It is served out to the masses of poor people who come there, and their verdict has invariably been that it was first-class in every respect. The management of the place has been cleanly and. orderly from beginning to end, and it is suid that the people who have frequented the place have deported them- selves in a manner entirely becoming, with- out loud or unseemly conversation, and with an entire absence of quarrelsomeness or any other behavior that might be dis- gusting and disagreeable in such a place. Soup at a Cent a Bowl. While many have made this soup house a regular source of support, still the nuisance of repeating has been limited to a few cases. Many instances of extreme hunger have come under the observation of those in charge of the soup house. Men have been seen to stoop down and pick up crusts and crumbs from the floor and eat them. Feeble, tottering, weak old men and women have come with pails and pitch- ers to get food to take home for others who were too sick to make their way to the place. From now until Saturday night the ef- fort will be to supply women and children who come with pails with soup to be taken home. Upward of 1,200 people were fed yesterday, and will be today before the soup house closes tonight, but after today no more soup will be furnished to be eaten on the premises. Altogether the soup house has been a most useful institution, and comparing its work with its cost, it can be said that no similar charity has ever been seen in Washington. Mr. Crump says that he be- lieves that It would be possible to fur- nish soup to the poor at one cent a bowl and make a soup house entirely self-sup- porting the year round jf it were a neces- sity. These facts are interesting in view of what may be necessary to do another winter to relieve conditions of poverty al- most certain to occur. —_———_. Burnside Post Entertained. Burnside Post, No. 8, G. A. R., was hand- somely entertained last night by a ban- quet at Willard’s Hotel, given by Past Commander Nathan Bickford. Forty-seven members of the post were present, and cid ample justice to the occaston. Speeches were indulged in by Commander C. TT.

To the Faltor of The Evening Star: There appeared in your edition of the Sth instant an article under the nom-de- plume of “Taxpayer, Arlington P. 0O.,” severely castigating the board of super- visors, the county superintendent and over- seers of roads for their manner of work- ing the same, and the inequality and ap- parent unfairness in the distribution of said work. Now, for the benefit and in- formation of our friend, Taxpayer, I would state that it is only within a few years that a dollar’s worth of road tax has been spent on what every one must acknowl- edge as the main road in Arlington dis- trict, leading from Washington to Falls Church and sutrounding sections. I mean the road running west from Rosslyn and parallel with the river, and on which travel is largely in excess of that on any other road in the county. I presume this is the road alluded to as being in the vicinity of Rosslyn, and so well “graveled, oyster-shelled and most wonderfully im- proved.” The improvements made on that portion of the road lying in the district of Arlington are mainly to be credited to the activity and public-spiri ess of a large- hearted and large taxpaying citizen whose domiciie is on that road. (Would that such men were more numerous in our county.) The oyster-shelling referred to has been done under his personal supervision, al- most entirely by his own teams, his own men and at his own expense. Let Tax- payer go and do likewise, and the pro ability is that there will be ‘fewer mud holes for men to fall into when leaving the rum holes of Arlington. FAIRPLAY. —_-> —— - Horses.

D., delighted an audience which filled Metzerott Hall last evening, with a lecture on ‘“‘The Power and Pathos of Dickens.” Dr. Stafford, quoting much from the works of Dickens, paid a most graceful and tender tribute to the Sreat novelist. Charles Dickens, he said, made his characters much more than mere creations of his fancy, for he made them real, moving, livings beings, and he re- joiced with them in their joy, and suffered with them in their pain and grief. Dickens worked not for literary glory alone, but he labored that the world might be made bet- ter and happier, and he succeeded in mak- ing the world, when people wept at his sweet pathos or laughed at his quaint humor, not orly happier,: but also better. Frem real life, explained Dr. Stafford, Dickens drew his characters, viewing them with the eyes of a master. He searched the corners of the earth and its crevices, among the forsaken, the dead and the dy- ing, and put all under his wonderful micro- sccpe, discovering to the world another an- other of beauty and wonder, one unknown to many. In so doing he caused the world to turn aside and gaze and think, even in hae midst of its hurried, sordid every-day ife. Prof. Hazen’s Lecture.—Prof. Hazen of the United States signal service will lec- ture tonight at 8 o’clock in the parlors of the Young Men’s Christian Association, 140) New York avenue northwest. His subject will be “India,” and the attend- ance will doubtless test the capacity of the reoms and show how popular these Friday evening parlor talks have become. Tuxedo Quartet Concert.—The rehearsal last night of the mammoth banjo, mando- lin and guitar orghestra that is to appear at the sacred coneert of the Tuxedo Quar- tet at the Academy of Music on Sunday night was a decided success, and Mr. A. V. Holmes, who is to conduct, is sure that it will be the largest aggregation of play- ers upon those instruments ever got to- gether. An additional attraction for the entertainment has teen secured in the person of Miss Carrie Pryor, who will ccme on from New York in order to ap- pear. She will sing the “Suwanee River,” the same in which she made such a suc- cess at her benefit here last spring. The Washington Orchestra.—The Wash- ington String Orchestra, Ernest Lent, con- ductor, will make its first appearance in public tomorrow night at the Universalist Church, and judging from the very satis- factory last rehearsals an excellent con- cert may be expected. The proceeds are to be devoted to the development of this organization, whose educational aims de- serve the generous encouragement and. support of the community. Mr. John Por- ter Lawrence will contribute a piano solo and Mr. Lent a violoncello solo. Mrs. Ed- win Z. Perkins, among other songs, will render Mr. Lent’s “Laughing Song,” dedi- cated and sung by Ellen Beach Yaw. Seats may be reserved at Knabe’s new store, 1422 Pennsylvania avenue. A meeting of the committee representing the South Washington division for the celebration of the emancipation of slaves in the District was held Wednesday night. The officers fur that division, Lewis Willis, president; J. R. Evans, chairman finance committe Jas. B. Ellis, corre- sponding secretary; Wm. H. Brown, sec- retary; A. B. Jones, treasurer; Berry Broadus, chief marshal, were present. Capt. Johnson of the Eastern Star Ca- dets asked to be given a place in the pa- rade, as did also the Hodcarriers’ Associa- tion, No. 2, and the Tournament Club of Bladensburg. Capt. Dorsey reported that the ship Emancipator was ready and would be in the procession. The following names were added to che staff of the chief mar- shal: Harry Anderson, right aid; S. S. Nixon, left aid; A. Bankett, chief of’ staff; Geo. Wills, Iusvector of staff; Wm. Tibbs, secretary of staff, and the following aids: Samuel Phillips, Thomas A. Ellis, Cornelius E. Jones, Peter Barnes, Hilary Chase, Dan- ie! Burnett, Reuben Ware, B. Butler, John C. Pridgeon, Edward Stewart, John Stew- art. Rev. H. C. Robinson, chaplain of the Southeast division, will address the la- dies’ committee tonight. Rev. R. S. Laws has been invited to de- liver an oration at a banquet to be given on the evening of Emancipation day. Anti-Saloon Mass Meeting. The mass meeting committee of the Anti- Saloon League held another meeting at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the office of the first vice president of the league, in the Loan and Trust building, to complete arrangements for the public meet- ing to be held next Sunday afternoon in E Street Baptist Church. Mr. Wm. H. Pennell, the chairman of the committee, presided. A communication from Rey. Dr. Wilson, presiding elder of the Washington district of the Methodist Episcopal Church and president of the Anti-Saloon League, was read, assuring the committee that, Providence permitting, he will be on hand to deliver the address of the occasion, and Mr. Amos W. H. Ferris of the Young Men’s League was present to give assur- ance of the completion of arrangements for good music. At his suggestion, it was voted that the members of the Moody Choir be invited to attend and to bring Gospel Hymns Nos. 5 and 6. Arrangements in regard to future meetings were discussed. a . Cc. E. Officers Elected. The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 6th and A street north- east, Rev. Green Clay Smith, pastor, held its annual business meeting last night. Officers were chosen for the ensuing year as follows: President, Mr. S. Hanks; vice president, Mr. Julian Cockerille; sec- retary, Miss Maiers, and treasurer, Miss French. It was voted to contribute $100 ($60 for the senior society and $40 for the junior) toward defraying the expenses of the Christian Endeavor convention, which assembles in Washington in 1806. Mr. Eckloff Gets $3,000 Damages. The jury in the case of Christian T. Eck- loff against the Washington Gas Light Company, in which the plaintiff asked $10,000 damages, awarded Mr. Ecktoff $3,000. Mr. Eckloff was inspector of meters in the water department, and while engaged in performing his duties on the premises cf the company, September 1, 1891, was bad- ly burned about the head and upver part of the body by explosion of gas. Two years ago he was awarded $1,500, but on appeal the Court of Appeals set that judg- ment aside. ‘ ———__. Mrs, Cox's Will. An exemplified copy of the will of the late Ella M.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., HOPES OF SUFFRAGISTS What Was Said at a Meeting Held Last Evening. The Opinion Was Expressed That the Movement ts Gainimg Ground—Two Committees Appointed. Thirteen men were-{m Hayden’s Hall. at 8 o'clock last evening,‘the hour named for a meeting of Washingtonians who favor a change in the form of the District gov- ernment. During the evening, however, a few more enthusiastic suffragists appear- ed. President Spohn,-in calling the meeting to order, said he regretted that-there were not more persons present, and he express- ed surprise that so many persons who fa- vored the restoration of the rights of citi- zenship should remain at their homes and leave the burden on the shoulders of a comparatively few persons. During the course of his remarks he said that in no other city are the residents politically os- tracized. But, he said, no matter from where a citizen comes he loses the rights of citizenship as soon as he settles in the shadow of the:national capital. This, he said, suggests “What crime have we com- mitted?” and he answered, ‘No crime, ex- cept that we live here.” He thought that popular self-government is not a failure, and he believed that the people are enti- tled to govern themselves. He was cer- tainly opposed to the present form of gov- ernment or any: other ferm of’ government which attempts to digfranchise the citi- zens. Continuing, President . Spohn re- ferred to the action.sf the Commissioners in relation to the new censorship they had established, and spoke of The Star's edi- torial thereon. In asking for suffrage, he said, it is on- ly asking for ‘that which is presumed to be an inallenable right; that Which is, the very spirit of the government, and that which is enjoyed by all other citizens of the United States. The Eight-Hour Lew. President Spohn added that he was sur- prised that the working people take so lit- tle interest in the suffrage movement. He spoke of violations of the eight-hour law, and charged that the Commissioners had been parties to its violation. “We have tried to get prosecutions under this law,” he said, “but have not suc- ceeded.” “Mr. Birney S-hour law,” remarked some audience. = Then he told of the mode of getting bills through Congress, and said that the recom- mendation of the three Commissioners has more weight than would the request of all other citizens. In stating his reasons for opposing the present form of government he said he thought the people should have something to say about the matter of tax- ation and how the money should be ex- pended, and that the Commissioners should have matters of more importance to at- tend to than to define the size of carriage steps and the circumference of hitching posts. He hoped that during the summer months the meetingss would create some enthusiasm, He was certain that a large majority of the residents will come for- ward and admit that they are disgusted with the present form of government. “So far as I am concerned,” he said, “I was disgusted with it when it was in- augurated.”” He thought that persistent effort on the part of the citizens would result in gain- ing suffrage, and he felt certain that many members of Congress would not object, for they are tired of spending so much of their time on District affairs. An amendment to the Constitution, he real- ized, would be necessary to get for the citizens all the privileges: of statehood. Appointment ef Committees. Mr. G. O. Cook said he believed Shake- speare had said ‘Some people are born free, some have freedom and others have freedom thrust. upon them,” :.and= he thought that if there-were any who were not desirous of getting freedom they should have it thrust upon them. He thereupon moved the appointment of a committee to draft an address to the workingmen of the country and also to the members of Congress. The workingmen all over the country, he said, would then help in the way of looking after their Congressmen. Mr. F. L. Siddons had an amendment to offer concerning the question of commit- tees. He thought that there should be two committees, one a committee of three, ap- pointed from the local labor organizations, does not believe in the one in the Beeesensenseeteatoatentondesdecteceteatenteagontectentectectectet Nervous and Weak HOOD'S HEL!

The other committee, he thought, should be appointed to draft an address to the mem- bers of the next Congress. 3 The amendment was adopted. Mr. Siddons then arose and said he de- sired to dissent from one statement made by President Spohn, and that was the statement that he regretted to see that so little interest was manifested in the suf- frage movement. He said he thought it a good showing that even the number of men there present had taken so much in- terest in the movement, and he said there is more interest than is even shown in the meetings. Then he produced a copy of last evening’s Star and read the editorial on the news censorship, saying that The Star in this editorial had said that interest in the movement is increasing, and The Star is in a position to know, so he told his hearers, Hopes for the Future. Following the reading of the editorial the speaker indulged in comments and said that because of the admissions made in it he had hopes that the day would soon ar- rive when The Star will be in line for suf- frage. ‘ “That's right,” shouted a man in the au- dience. “The Star is always with us.” He said he admired The Star, and thought the paper was sincere in all its publica- tions about the needs of the District, but he said he thought, and naturally so, that the paper is sometimes mistaken on the suffrage question. He said that the star chamber proceed- ings of the Commissioners and also of the board of school trustees, as pointed out in The Star, will help the suffrage movement, and he, for one, was willing to endure those methods for a year, because then the suf- frege movement will be so far advanced that the people will have the right of suf- frage given them. a President Spohn then appointed the com- mittees as follows: Committee to formulate an address to the labor organizations—Mil- ford Spohn, G. O. Cook and E. J. Rea. Committee to formulate. an_ address to members of Congress--F. L. Siddons, Dr. Robert Reyburn and G. W. Z. Simmons. Remarks by Dr. Reyburn. ~ Dr. Robert Reyburn was then introduced, end he told of what action he had taken in the suffrage movement, and said that when the suffrage bill was referred to the Com- missioners they returned the bill, refusing to hear arguments concerning it. “But they did not refuse a hearing on ‘the bond bill,” remarked one of his hearers. . “And the labor men took care of the bill,” added Dr. Reyburn. The doctor said he felt, certain of suc- 1 fitting ciothes admit of no defense, For want of fit shows want of common sense."” °'T was well and truly said, “You might as well be out of the world as out of fash- ion’’—especially is this the case when fashions are in the line with common sense —as they are this Spring— sensible and tasteful peo- ple who see our new stuffs will say—this season, at least—“‘beauty is made the bride of use’’— $s ; IO will give you your choice of a Spring Top Coat or a Blue, Black or Mixed Cheviot Suit--or an Im=- ported Clay Weave Biue or Black Worsted Coat and Waistccat— —exclusively.
