Bishop Keane lectured last night at Metz- erott’s on “The End of the Century—Its Philosophies,” the cccasion being a benefit for the House of the Good Shepherd. The discourse traced the history of philosophy and showed its successive aims. ‘Through all, he showed, the great thinkers of va- rious golden ages had recognized the sov- ereignty of divine law in the affairs of men. The second lecture for the benefit of the House of the Good Shepherd will be given by Rev. John Prendergast, on “Two Views of Immortelity. Fa Hillsdale Citizens’ Association.

At 4:59 yesterday afternoon Coroner Ham- mett met the jury summoned to hold an inquest over little Louis Bachsmig, who was run over Wednesday aftersoon on 13th street opposite the Builders’ Exchange. The jury were sworn in at the house of Mr. Bachs 1, over the body of the little boy, and then went to station house No. 1,where several eye-witnesses were examined. Among them were T. J. King, J. T. Sei- christ, Adolph Oppenheimer and Me- Pherson of the Builders’ Exchange bu:ld- ing, and Special Officer John Trammell of 711 Rhode Island avenue, all of whom saw the accideat. The testimony showed that Brooks, the driver, was not criminally care- less and the accident was unavoidable. Brooks was therefore released. a Tirew Him Out. Peter Banks, a young colored man, whose mind is probably unevenly balanced, went to the home of his father, Abraham Banks, in Glick’s alley, last right about 10:30 o'clock and threw the aged father out of the second-story window. His alleged in- sanity took a religious form and he imag- ined he was casting out devils when he came near killing his father. Fortunately, the house is not very high and the injuries sustained by the old man were not of a serious nature. Soe ee $1.25 Excursion to Baltimore $1.25 vin Pennsylvania Railroad.

BANQUET AND SPEECHES Life Insurance Men Dine and Have a Good Time. Commissioner Powell an , Other Prominent Speakers—The Commit- tee of Arrangements. That the profession of life insurance ranks next to the clergy was declared to be a fact by many speakers last evening at a banquet tendered the executive commit- tee of the National Association of Life Un- derwriters by the Life Underwriters’ Asso- ciation of the District of Columbia_at the Shoreham. The executive committee yes- terday concluded a two days’ session pre- paring for the annual meeting of the Na- tional Association, to be held in October, and as a farewell the local association de- cided to entertain the visitors in sumptuous style. : ‘The guests were seated at a horseshoe table elaborately bedecked with flowers and trailing vines. A fragrant bouquet of violets was provided for each diner and an orchestra was on hand to supply music. A flash-light photograph of the gathering was taken early in the evening. A feature of the affair were unique menu cards, to which were attached huge keys molded from macerated United States greentacks. Each key, it was claimed, represented $20,000 and illustrated “the na- tion’s honor and the grand record of Amer- iean life insuranc2 companies and their faithful discharge of contract obligations.” After the repast had been properly cared for Mr. David S. Hendricks, president of the local association, stated his belief that in the near future Hes a new era for life underwriters, which never could be but for the establishment of the National Asso- ciation, welcomed the visitors and intro- duced Mr. Max Cohen as toastmaster. Mr. Cohen announced that the speeches would be impromptu, as no notice had been given those who would be called on. In the ab- sence of President Plummer of the Nation- al Association Mr. Tillinghast of Cleve- land was requested to make the opening addresy Mr. Tillinghast declared that five years ago such a scene as the one before him was an impossibility, and that ten years before there was a National Associa- tion life insurance agents went about ver- itably armed with stilettos. “It takes a gentleman to make a life insurance agent,” Mr. Tillinghast said,~‘‘and if you are not that you have ro reason to hope for suc- ces: Commissioner Powell's Remarks. “Whether or not we have suffrage in the District, we do like our District Commis- sioners,” were the words spoken by the toastmaster in introducing Commissioner Cc. F. Powell. The latter said that he was glad to welcome the association to Wash- ington. New York is New York and Texas is Texas, he went on to say, but Washing- ton is public property belonging to the whole United States. Major Powell then explained that the government of the Dis- trict is conducted on a non-partisan mu- niciple idea. He likened the municipality to an insurance company which gives the best policy for the premium paid. Rabbi Stern mdde an eloquent address, re- marking that of all mortals insurance men know how to talk well, claiming that an agent will talk a man to death in an ef- fort to insure his life. Rabbi Stern refer- red to the nobility and great need of life insurance, claiming that by it death is rubbed of much dread, and expressing the hope that the voice of the underwriter may be heard in ever-increasing numbers hen ear the length and breadth of the land. Joseph Ashbrook of Philadelphia related an amusing anecdote and then gave some interesting figures, Rene that in 1860 the entire amount of insifrance in the United States was $160,000,000, with $24,- 000,000 of assets. At the close of 1804 the amount of insurance was $5,600,000,000, $1,000,000,000 of assets. There is no business that guards so care- fully all the interests of home as life in- surance, was the opening remark of Mr. Simon Wolf, who was introduced as a noble charity worker. Mr. Wolf urged “the gentlemen of the glib tongue and the vast expanse of brain’’ before him to work among the wives of men. “Let us be hon- erable, fair, just and dignified,” said the speaker, “‘and the business will take care of itself.” Interesting remarks were also made by Sheppard Homans of New York, George W. Hatch, George F. Hadley, Mr. Ran- som, Mr. Craig, Col. Tyler, Benjamin Calef and Rev. Dr. Rogers, Mr. Robert Cook read extracts from letters of regret written by President Cleveland, Henry Stokes, Henry B. Hyde, John R. Hegeman, Gen. Veazey, John M. Holcomb, after which the gathering was dismissed with a few pleas- ant words by President Hendricks. Committee in Charge. The banquet was arranged by the enter- tainment committee of the local associa- tion, made up of Robert Cook, chairman; Frank K. Raymond, L. M. Reeves, D. L. M. Peixotto, U. S. Roulette and G. L. Hunt- zinger. Seated at the table were George F. Hadley, George P. Haskell, James Ash- brook, D. S. Hendricks, Max Cohen, Benj. Calef, Sheppard Hemans, Simon Wolf, Robert Cook, F. A. Kendall, E. N.

A large shipment of seven-inch nickel- plate steel was received at the yard re- cently and sent on a barge, towed by the Triton, to Indian Head, where it will be subraitted to a test. The workmen in the gun shops are busily engaged in getting ready for shipment to Indian Head for trial a large thirteen- inch gun. There are a large number of the thirteen-inch guns getting ready for test- ting, ard Indian Head, as soon as the weather opers up, will be the scene of much ordnance activity. The order for the fifty landing guns for the navy has rot yet been given out. The competitors in the trial were the Fletcher, Driggs Ordnance and Hotchkiss, but it is undersiood there were objections to all three, and there may be another trial. The Dolphin is still at her wharf at the navy yard, though she was scheduled to leave this week for New London, to be in attendance at the trial of the Ammen ram. Owing to the postponement of the trial her n also postponed, and it not leave Washington for THE ELKS ENTERTAIN. sion of the Scason. The last social meeting of the season of the local lodge of Elks, Washington Lodge, No. 15, wag held at their hall, 1006 E street, last evening. The affair was a great suc- cess. The hall was prettily decorated, and the members of the lodge and their hun- dreds of friends crowded it from early in the evening until late. The presiding off- cer was the baby member of the lodge, President George A. Tracy of the District Typographical Union, and, although, as he modestly explained, he was an Elk of but two weeks’ standing, he performed his duties in a manner which caused him to be voted a howling success. He was particu- larly efficient in managing the committees appointed to look out for the comfort of the guests, several times imposing fines when the members lagged in their duties. An inviting program had been prepared for the entertainment of the guests and mem- bers, and later in the evening the members ef the various theatrical companics now Playing here dropped in and entertained those present. Excellent music was fur- nished by Prof. Esputa’s orchestra, and others contributing were: The Tuxedo Mandolin Quartet, whistling solo by Mr. Tom Wilkinson, sorgs by Messrs. J. J. Fay, A. M.

The generosity of the citizen re- ferred to is commendable, and should be acknowledged by all, especially those who derive the benefit of his generosity. Since my first article appeared I find that not erly all the available road fund has been Wade use of, but warrants have been issued over and above that to the amount of $000. The unequal division of road funds still re- mains without explanation. I contend there is no road in the county more traveled than the old Columbia pike (tcw a county road). Some places on that read are next to impassable. A culvert on this road, washed out by recent rains, can- not be properly repaired on account of a lack of funds. It seems to me that there should be a reserve fund for such emergen- cies as this, instead of the indebtedness re- ferred to. Could the example of this man’s generos- ity be followed by all, there would be no cavse of complaint. There are many, no doubt, who would like to be generous, but ey will have to take the will for the For the benefit of poor taxpayers like myself give us Fairplay in an equal divis- ion of road funds, as far as possible. Ap- peals have been made to the board of su- pervisors many times for repairs to roads, referred to in my first article, without any apparent benefit arising therefrom. If through the columns of your paper, which has a large circulation in this county, Fair- Play can be brought about in the matter of gcod roads, we shall owe you a debt of gratitude not easily repaid. Let us have Fairplay. TAXPAYER. — Worth Attending. Large sale of furniture at Sloan's, 1407 G street, tomorrow at 10 a.m. Everything just as advertised and now on exhibition.

Bishop Keane’s Lecture.—Bishop Keane lectured last night at Metzerott Hall on “The End of the Century—Its Philoso- phies.” A large audience attended and fol- lowed the lecturer closely. Bishop Keane is never disappointing as a speaker, and last night he was up to his usual standard. He reviewed in brief the various philoso- phies in which the world has believed and dealt with the philosophies which have fol- lowers today. The proceeds of the enter- tainment will be devoted to the House of the Good Shepherd. . A Talk on “Gems” at the Y. M. C. A.

A Narrow Escape From the Gallows for James Washington. James Washington, a young colored man, was this morning convicted of assaulting with intent to kill Jennie Hughes, a young colored girl, March 17, 1893. Washington cut the girl in the neck, and she nearly bled to death. She left the District, going to Hackensack, N. J., and until now it was impossible to get her here. Deputy United States Marshal R. A. Haggerty of New Jersey finally induced her to come on, and she was brought here by him. In passing sentence, Judge Cole told Washington that he had narrowly escaped the gallows, explaining that if the girl had died he would surely have been hanged. Telling him that he should consider him- self very fortunate, Judge Cole then sen- tenced Washington to eight years in the penitentiary, giving him the maximum pen- y- ————— Directed to Sell.
