For the second time in a month the po- lice were called to the residence of Senator Stewart last evening because it was sus- pected that a robbery had been committed there. Miss Bessie Stewart, the Senator's daughter, had missed a diamond pin worth $150, and the detectives were called in to make an investigation. The pin was after- ward found in a piece of lace that had been carelessly laid aside. When the call was made some time agg Miss Stewart had lost a card case in which she had about $150. 'The card case had been given to one of the colored servants to put in the carriage, and soon after leaving the house the carriage door flew open. It was thought that the card case fell from the vehicle and was found by some one who failed to return it. ———_—_ Emergency Hospital. The contributing members to the ladies’ auxiliary board of the Emergency Hospital assembled yesterday afternoon at the hos- pital in annual meeting. A proposition to purchase fifty feet of the property adjoin- ing the hospital on the east was consid- ered, and the auxiliary board decided that if the board of directors will by May 15 pay $5,000 of the $15,000 asked for the property the auxiliary board will pay the interest on the remainder until the indebt- edness is liquidated. The structure to be erected on the property referred to will contain quarters for the employes and sta- ble arrangements for the ambulance and horses. The board also voted to contribute $250 to the fund for the purchase of a ster- ilizer. Before adjournment officers to serve for the ensuing year were elected as fol- lows: Mrs, Uhl, president; Mrs. B. H. Warder, first vice president; Mrs. Hawley, second vice president; Mrs. B..H. Warner, third vice president; Miss A. Bell, secre- tery, and Mrs. Kerr, treasurer. —— Capt. Watrous Drowned. The steamer City of Haverhill is report- ed lost at sea and all hands are believed to have gone down. The Haverhill weighed out of New York bound for Key West on Wednesday, in company with the tug Luck- enbach. The craft parted company out of Sandy Hook and the Haverhill proceeded south, intending to put into Barnegat. Soon ‘after a half gale swept up the coast and a good sea came on, and, as the Hav- erhill was a fair-weather boat, designed for light service in land-locked waters, it is thought that she foundered. The pilot boat James Gordon Bennett picked up the body of Capt. Warren P. Watrous, who commanded the Haverhill, The Haverhill carried a crew of ‘seven men, and these are mourned as lost. The local feature of this sad story of the sea is that Capt. Watrous is a Washing- tonian, having lived here a quarter of a century. With his family he lived at Whit- new avenue and 7th street northwest tll he left for New York to go out in the ill- starred ship. Mrs. Watrous, son and daughter are at Fort Monroé, where they went to join the Haverhill when she should put in there on her run to the south. Capt. Watrous was an ex-employe of the Navy Department and was forty years old. Se Se Congregational Foreign Missions. The fourth annual neighborhood meeting of the Congregational Women’s Foreign Missionary societies of Washington was held at the Fifth Congregational Church yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Mrs. C. Tucker of the Fifth Church delivered of welcome. A missionary, read a paper dealing with phases of life in Persia. Short ad- were also delivered by Rev. Adam Reoch, pastor of the church, and by Rev. B. N. Seymour, the former pastor. At the afternoon services Mrs. T. rk presided. Papers of ten minut ich were read, dis- ng the ‘Why Do I Believe in and ‘Proportionate collection was taken up for in Aintab. The Mission Circle ‘st Church then took charge and member of the Salvation y, who described the work of the army in India, Germany and elsewhere. Papers were also read deseribing the methods of the Red Cross movement. Se sion to Baltimore nia Railroad. Baltimore, Saturday, April 6, 4 unday, the 7th, good returi ing until Monday, the Sth,’ via Pennsy Vania raliroad, at $1.25. a the address college the of the introduced a $1.25 last nigtt at the Fifteenth Street Church was attended by a select audience that filled the churct, notwithrtanding the for- bidding weather of the evening. The mem- bers of the family of Mr. Douglass were present, and sat together in the front part of the church. The exercises consisted of speeches by men who had known Mr. Doug- lass, and served to throw a clear light upon the character of the man. Rev. William V. Tunnell of King Hall Episcopal Chapel of- fered prayer, and Robert H. Terrell, who presided during the evening, in a brief speech set forth the purpose of the occa- sion. . Charles B. Purvis followed in an eloquent and well-considered tribute, in which he related many interesting recol- lections of Mr. Douglass, and alluded to the hardships he endured and the obstacles he overcame. The speaker dealt unsparing- ly with the limitations which surround the colored race at the present time. The in- stitution cf slavery, he said, was dead, but its spirit still lived, as was shown in the Teamoh incident in Virginia the other day. And in this connection Dr. Purvis told what Mr. Douglass said to him in relating his first visit to Abraham Lincoln. “He received me,” said Mr. Douglass, “as one gentleman always receives another. Mr. Lincoln was one of the few men who al- ways left me with the feeling that my skin or my blood were in no way different from his own” ‘The speaker compared Dougiass with Webster, between whox and opportunities there was a w ferenes, and told a story that {lus the moral fiber of each. When Webster was criticised for his apostasy to the cause cf freedom, in recentment of the crit visited upen him, one day said: “It !s fool- ish to re-enact the laws of God.” When Douglass heard this he said: “It is worse than foolish to re-enact any other.” Knew Him Fifty-two Years Ago. Rev. Alexander Crummell of St. Luke's Episcopal Church read a careful analysis of Mr. Douglass’ character, relating how he first met him fifty-two years ago, et a civil rights meeting In Boston. Mr. Crum- mell’s effort was nicely appreciative and thoroughly eloquent in his description of the man. John 8. Durham of Philadelphia, who succeeded Mr. Douglass as minister to Hayti, spoke of his universally represen- tative character. He said Douglass was more than an American. He was a citizen of the world. He wished he had lived in London or some European capital, where his color would not have been a bar to his reception in the highest society of the world. Mr. John R. Lynch, who followed, said Mr. Douglass preferred to live where he could serve his race. His first aim and hope was for the betterment of the colored race. On one occasion Mr. Lynch took a young man to see Mr. Douglass, and something was said of the almost hopeless condition of the negro race, when Mr. Douglass said: ‘My young friend, always hold up the good traits of the colored race; their enemies will be sure to mention the P. B. S. Pinchbeck, in an earnest eulogy, told of his long acquaintance with Mr. Douglass, and spoke of visiting with him the day he died, and how pleased he was with the honor paid him by the Women’s Council. Interesting Anecdotes. Rev. Rush R. Shippen of All Souls’ Church pleasingly told several stories of his acquaintance with Mr. Douglass, first in Chicago and then in Washington. On one occasion in Chicago Mr. Douglass provoked the anger of a large audience by his criticism of Daniel Webster for his famous “Seventh of March speech,” when, as Mr. Shippen said, Webster buck~ led and cringed to the slave owners. It looked as if Douglass could not go on with his remarks he had so enraged the au- dience. But he waited until the din ceased, then he recited a passage which he had committed to memory from one of Web- ster’s earlier speeches, in which he pleaded so grandly for freedom of speech. The effect was electric, and the audience cheer- ed Douglass as enthusiastically as it had before hissed and hooted him. Another time at a convention of abolitionists of the state of Hlinois a white man made a speech saying that the negro was so thieving, so immoral, so intemperate and untruthful that it was impossible to re- deem him, even if he were made free. Douglass was called next, and he saw his opboreant ty: “Our race,” he said, “is sim- ple; it is imitative—very imitative. We do as we see our masters do. ,When the white man ceases to steal, to drink, to lie and to be immoral then we will have hope for ourselves.” The fine sarcasm of the retort aroused the great audience to the wildest applause. Dr. Shippen referred to the lecture by Matthew Arnold at the First Congrega- ticnal Church twelve years ago, when, after the distinguished Englishman had ecncluded, Secretary Chandler, who pre- sided, called for remarks from the dis- tinguished men in the audience. Seeing Mr. Douglass, he said: “I see before me the greatest orator in America, and I call uren Frederick Douglass to speak.” = Douglass arose, and, in a fine manner, fraining from a speech, moved the thanks of the audience to Prof. Arnold for the pleasure his lecture had given them. Rev. W. A. Creditt of the Berean Colored Church read a warm eulogy of Mr. Doug- lass, a letter was read from Mrs. Charlotte Fortin Grimke and Mrs. Lena McKinney sang effectively a solo, Miss Bruce accom- panying her at the organ. Resolutions of Rexpect. Mr. F. G. Barbadoes offered, and the teeting adopted, resolutions of respect to Mr. Douglass, after which Dr. Grimke prcnounced the benediction. ‘That fame and honor from no condition rise,” say these resolutions, “was exempll- fied in his life more than in that of any other man of his time. He was a slave, yet he became a chieftain in the army of anti-slavery men and women; for twenty- five years his clear voice in stentorian tones rang out for the nationality of freedom, His battle ery was “Let my people go.” His contribution to the anti-slavery cause makes a splendid chapter in its history. The story of his own sorrows and suffer- ings, no less than his~eloquence, touched the hearts of two continents and did much toward winning for the millions of bond- men in America the sympathy of Christen- dom. And when the emancipation and the enfranchisement of his people came, he then turned his attention to their prepara- tion for citizership, with all its dignities and responsibilities. His voice and his pen and his personal influence were always en- listed in the cause of the oppressed. He be- lieved profoundly in the brotherhood of humanity, and in the equality of races, and during his entire public life he never once compromised his convictions to any expediency, or policy, for the purpose of advancing his own personal ends. Every- where in his speeches and writings shine out noble sentiments and lofty standards of duty—indices of the purity of his thoughts, the greatness of his soul and the beauty of his character. The lessons of his public career will be an inspiration to the present and future generations of the American negroes to righteous determina- tion and aspiration, for attaining the high- est possibilities of our country. Such was his private life that mothers will endeavor to teach their sons to emulate it and keep it constantly before them as an ideal. We mourn the loss to our country of so great a citizen.” = = “Quality” is Our Drawing Card. 5-lb. boxes finest creamery butter, $1 D. Wm. Oyster, 840 Center market.—Advt. ——_—— To Avoid.

There were times, however, when, in his talks with Gardner, his sudden starts and conscicus movements were too theatric and seemed to indicate too strongly that he wished the audience to Know that he was greatly affected by the suspicions of the man he had held up, which proved that Mr. Tree could not en- tirely efface from his work the tradition and practice of the ordinary stage villain. Capt. Swift is not an ordinary stage vil- jain, neither is Mr. Tree an ordinary actor. ‘That was demonstrated in his impersona- tion of Sir Philip Marchant on Monday night, where he was absolutely free from the usual methods employed for theatric effect, and played the part as naturally as is done by the villain in actual life. Mr. Tree has dramatic qualifications not pos- sessed by any of his contemporaries or pre- Gecessors, as far as heard from. For that reason he could as eagjly conceal “Capt. Swift’s” real character, as he effectually conceals himself in “Capt. Swift.” Of the supporting cast only words of praise may be said; and the prettiest vision on the siage was Miss Hanburg, as Mabel. To- right Mr. Tree will give his last perform- ance, and will repeat his success in “A Bunch of Violets.” Richard Mansfield—Mr. Richard Mans- field will play a return engagement at the Grand Opera House next week. He is al- ways welcome to Washington, and he has a host of friends and admirers in this city. His visits are notable events inthe annals of the stage, for he generally presents some new creation which chailenges the admiration of the critical playgoer. This time, however, he will present a repertoire of -his past successes, and will thus fur- nish a greater variety of entertainment. Monday he will appear in the “Scarlet Let- ter;” Tuesday, ‘“‘Arms and the Man;” Wed- nesday, as Baron Chevrail in “A Parisian Romance;” Thursday, in the pleasing com- edy, “Prince Karl,” Friday night and Sat- urday, in his historical creation of “Beau Brummel,” and Saturday night he will give his thrilling dual assumption of “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.” will commence tomorrow, and as this will be the last engagement Mr. Mansfield will play prior to his opening of the Garrick Theater, in New York, it is expected that crowded houses will greet him during every night next week. Butler’s Bijou—Miss Florence Bindley will appear next week in her realistic com- edy-drama, “The Pay Train.” Both star and play have been here often and need no introduction, but on this visit the company is the strongest that has yet appeared in this play. Incidental to the piece Miss Bindley will introduce her famous songs, dances and solos or the autoharp Phone and sleigh bells. Other specia will be introduced by the Irish comedian, John Sheehan. City Sports’ Big Show nan’s attraction for next week will be Flynn and Sheridan's City Sports’ Bis Show. The company is headed by the Nel- son Sisters, the female acrobats, and the astonishing ease with which these young ladies perform their feats places them at the head of the 1crobatie world. A feature of the big program will be the closing bur- letta, which will serve to introduce Mlle. Zitella and Crissie Sheridan, the queens of burlesque. A number of clever comedians enliven the plot by their witticisms, and the interest of the performance is increased by the appearance of a coterie of shapely girls in gorgeous costumes. Capital Bicycle Club Concert.—The Capi- tal Bicycle Club has gained quite a repuia- tion through its whist tournaments and long bicycle runs, and last night won addi- tional laurels through the enjoyable musi- eale given at the National Rifles’ Armory for the benefit of the club. A large audience was present, and was enthusiastic in its re- ception of those who took part in the ex- cellent program, which was greatly pro- longed by the number of encores accorded the performers. Mr. John Porter Lawrence rendered two plano selections in excellent style and finish, his work possessing an un- usual amount of expression. Miss Anita Cluss gave two harp numbers, which were thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Mrs. Perkins sang two very pretty ballads, and Miss Bertha Lucas, one of Washington's most promising violinists, rendered two of the best received numbers on the program. The Washington Lady Quartet, comprising Miss Myers, Miss Dillon, Miss Dexter and Mrs. Tayloi, closed one of the best enter- tainments which National Rifles’ Armory Manager Ker- has seen this season. The Knights of Pythias Fair—The sec- ond night of the Knights of Pythias fair, at Odd Fellows’ Hall on 7th street northwest, was fully as satisfactory as the first. The crowd that atended was large and, more to the point, seemed willing to spend its mcney. The flower stand, which was not fitted up on the first night, was ready for business last night, and presented such a pretty picture that it was the chief attrac- ticn of the place. Among those present last night who are prominent in the order were Past Grand Chancellor John M. Kline, Capt. J. H. Mills, Past Grand Chancellor N. Bunch, Grand Chancellor Hardell, and the members of the gengral committee. The second oldest lodge in the world, Mt. Ver- non Lodge, will attend in a body tonight, accompanied by Capital Lodge, No. 24, and the third battalion, District of Columbia National Guard. Rathbone Division of the Uniform Rank of Alexandria, Columbia Lodge of Odd Fellows and Harmony Lodge, No. 21, K. of P., will be present in a body, as organizations, tomorrow night. Rev. Mr. Brown's Lecture.—A lecture was delivered at Foundry Chureh for the benefit of the E ing, the speaker being Re’ ver A.Brown. His subject was “Misplaced Men,” and a large audience was present to attest the pepularity of the speaker, although the in- clement state of the weather deterred many from venturing out. Mr. Brown was intro- duced by Mr. J. D. Taylor with a few com- plimentary remarks.
