About one hundred and twenty-five peo- ple interested in the introduction of the kindergarten system as an adjunct of the regular public school course attended a meeting of the National Kindergarten As- sociation Saturday in the hall of the Red Cross. Addresses were made by Miss Car- oline M. C. Hart, Miss S. E. Lobb, Dr. W. N. Hailman and Miss Hailman and Mr. W. T. Harris, commissicner of education. It ‘was decided to push the matter, both in Congress and by representations to the lo- cal school boards of the country. The ob- Ject of the association is to have the kin- dergarten system regularly incorporated with the public school course, forming one or two supplementary grades, where the children may be instructed during that im- portant period in their careers between the time they are old enough to run loose in the streets and when they are old enough to be put into the regular school grades as they are now arranged. nd Musical Notes. Miss Julia Macdel’s pupils gave a piano recital last Saturday evening at the resi- dence of Dr. A. C. Adams, 619 Massachu- setis avenue northeast. The program was Pleasing and varied, and the “touch and technique” of the young performers was up to the usual standard. The performers were Louls Adams, Tina Weber, Thomas King, Tillle Glick, Mabel Webster, Helen DeMoll, Florence Glick, Florence Haren- burg, Anise Mason, Jeanette King, Edna Smith, Pauline Springguth, Isabella Graff, Gertrude Bach, Rida Stinzing, Nellie Zing- ling. The many friends of Miss Fielding Ro- selle will be glad to know that she has been quite successful during the past sea- son in New York, having sung at some ex- cellent concerts, and having done a great deal of work at the residences of some of the best people. At the last social of the ‘Twelfth Night Club, at which David Chris- tle Murray was the guest of honor, Miss Roselle sang “Because I Love Thee,” and two songs by Chadwick, and received high praise from all the New York papers, which spoke of her sweet mezzo-contralto voice and of the exquisite finish of her work. Miss Roselle is now tn this city visiting her mother. —__——._—_ Among the Churches. The favorable impression which Rev. Dr. Radcliffe, the pastor-elect of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, made upon the members of the congregation during the interval of his visit to this city was further increased yesterday by the dis- courses which he delivered from the pulpit of that church. The auditorium was thronged at both services by the members of the congregation, as well as those from other churches, who were anxious to hear a man who had been called to a position of such importance. The later traditions of the New York Avenue Church pulpit were maintained by the pastor-elect, who spoke without manuscript. His excellent de- Ifvery, as well as the scholarly and in- teresting treatment of his theme, was fully appreciated by the cultured and in- telligent audiences. A class of eighty-nine was confirmed last evenirg at Epiphany Church by Bishop Paret in the presence of a large audience. The observance of Paim Sunday yester- day, especially in the Catholic and Episco- pal churches, was marked by the usual ceremonies. Large audiences attended the churches yesterday, and at the close of the eervices the streets presented an animated scene. In the Catholic churches the palms were blessed and distributed among the Members of the congregation. Palms formed the principal feature in the floral 6nd foliage decoration of the interior of the churches. Yesterday marked the beginning of what is known in the church calendar as Holy week, and special services will be held in the Episcopal and Catholic churches and in churches of some of the other denomina- tions commemorative of the closing days of the life of our Savior. Yesterday afternoon at the 4 o'clock ser- vice Bishop Paret confirmed a class of twenty-four candidates tn Christ Church southeast. The church was crowded to its utmost. capacity, and, though nearly a hundred extra seats were provided, a large number of persons were compelled to stand during the service. It is learned that eight- een or twenty more candidates will be con- firmed on Easter Tuesday evening next, in the mission chapel belonging to the parish of this church. . ergo Sons and Daughters of Maine. At thé regular monthly meeting of the Sons and Daughters of Maine, Saturday evening, a pleasant feature was the read- ing of extracts from an amateur paper, called the Weekly Bulletin, edited by Miss Louise Tibbetts, aged sixteen, and her brother Milton, aged fifteen. Mrs. Tibbetts’ readings were well received and greeted with generous applause. During the even- ing an interesting paper on ‘Maine’ was read by Mrs. M. J. Patten. TO BE GIVEN A HEARING The Jookey Olub Will Hear St, Asaph’s Side of the Case, Statements Regarding the Foreign Book—If Outside of the Track Con- trary to Law—Sporting News. The stewards of the National Jockey Club will give the Virginia Jockey Club a hearing tomorrow in the matter of the foreign book which it is alleged is con- ducted on the Iatter’s grounds at the St. Asaph track, in violation of the rules of the national crganization. President Down- ham, Secretary Mcintyre and Treasurer Kirk of the Virginia club will probably appear before the stewards for the purpose of convincing them that the foreign book is not operaied on the grounds of the St. Asaph track, and that neither the club nor Mr. J. M. Hill of the club fs in any way financlally interested in the book. It is stated that while Mr. Hill owns the ground on which the pool room is lo- gated and was formerly interested in it, he some time ago leased the Premises to the proprietors of the book and sold out the interest he owned in the book. It is said also that the book is lecated on a strip of land separated from the grounds of the Virginia club by a thirty-foot drive- Way, granted and dedicated to the Alexan- dria Electric Railway Company. In sup- port of the contention of the Virginia Jockey Club, it is understood that several affidavits will be submitted to the stew- ards of the National Jockey Club at the meeting tomorrow, signed by the officers of the club, the county surveyor and by others said to be in possession of the facts in the matter. The officials of the Virginia club stated to a Star reporter today that there is no desire or purpose on the part of the club to violate any law of the national turf or- ganization, and they stated that they felt confident t! when the stewards of that organization became acquainted with the facts in the matter of the foreign book the Virginia club would not be held re- sponsible for its existence. Mr. Hill said to The Star man that if the national or- ganization refused to rescind its order to have the book closed after hearing the statement of the Virginia club tomorrow, he would use every endeavor to have the book closed up at once, as he would cheer- fully abide by the final decision of the stewards. It is presumed that Mr. -Hill will close the book up by revoking his lease of the premises. It is pointed out by those acquainted with law and facts in the matter that if it is true that the foreign book is not con- ducted on the grounds of the Virginia Jockey Club, those running it are liable to prosecution under the laws of Virginia, as no betting is allowed anywhere in the state outside the grounds of a regularly in- corporated and licensed racing organiza- tion. Therefore, it is sald, if the foreign book is not run on the grounds of the club the authorities of the state and county can suppress it at once and successfully prosecute those conducting it. Grand Opera House —At the Grand Opera House tonight Mr. Richard Mansfield and his stock company will open the week’s engagement in “The Scarlet Letter,” a dramatization of Hawthorne's brilliant story. Mr. Mansfield will appear as Arthur Denmesdale and Miss Beatrice Cameron as Hester Prynne. The Final Lecture.—The final lecture of the present series being conducted at Georgetown College will be given tomor- row evening by Mr. M. F. Morris, LL. D., judge of Court of Claims and professor of constitutional law at Georgetown Univer- sity. In his career of many years before the public Justice Morris has acquired wide fame as a lawyer, and from his earliest years has been a diligent student of his- tory, and at various intervals the results of his deep research and study have de- lighted large public audiences. His sub- ject for tomorrow evening's lecture is rele- vant to an epoch of history which has claimed the attention of every subsequent age, “The Rise and Fall of Mohammedan- ism,” and it is presumed that an audience commensurate in size with the recognized attractiveness and scope of the subject will be assembled. Anna Eva Fay’s Seance.—The Academy of Music was comfortably filled last even- ing by both believers and non-believers in spiritualism, who had come to see the seance of Miss Anna Eva Fay, the well- known cabinet spiritualist. After a short talk by Mr. Pingree, in which he explained the manner of the tests, Miss Fay was tied, as it seemed, so securely that she could not budge. The first two parts of the performance consisted of cabinet tests, the third of mental telegraphy and the fourth of tests conducted on the open stage. The tests in the cabinet were of the usual char- acter conducted by spiritualistic mediums, but Miss Fay’s mind-reading was really quite wonderful. Metzerott Music Hall.—Few glee clubs which come to this city are better known than the one which represents Yale Col- lege. They have always been well pat- ronized in the past, and their concert this evening at Metzerott’s Music Hall promises to be one of the best which they have ever rendered. The banjo club which accom- Fanies tke glee club is fully up to the standard, and the two together will make up @ program of unusual merit. The pat- ronesses are Mrs. David J. Brewer, Mrs. Henry B. Brown, Mrs. W. J. Boardman, Mrs. Wm. H. Clagett, Mrs. John Dalzel, Mrs. E. M. Gallaudet, Mrs. John Hay, Mrs. Arnold Hague, Mrs. G. W. McLanahan, Mrs. James McMillan, Mrs. Parker Mann, Mrs. T. B. M.

John D. ny. and respec! resident o! , N.Y. died in this city at the Arlington Saturday evening. The immediate cause of death was a paralytic stroke, superinduced by heart disease. Gen. Farnsworth had been in bad health for a couple of years, and during the month or more that he had been here prior to his death he had been suffer- ing from a complication of diseases. About @ week ago he caught a severe cold, which settled on his lungs and brought about a recurrence of his old heart trouble. Gen. Farnsworth was born at Towner’s station, N. Y., in 1832, At the beginning of the war he entered the quartermaster’s department, United States army, and serv- ed until the close of the war. Afterward he went into the lumber business in New York and amassed a fortune. He was prominent in the G. A. R. and served on the staffs of Cleveland, Flower and Hill during their gubernatorial terms. His wife was with him during his illness, and his daughter arrived before his death. The remains of Gen. Farnsworth were taken to Albany this morning, where fune- ral services will be held Wednesday after- noon at 3 o'clock in St. Peter's Church, .the Rev. Dr. Battershall officiating. From this city the remains will be accompanied by the widow and daughter and Mr. Sam- uel B. Towner of Albany, a stepbrother of the general. At New York city the son will join those leaving here. : *Many prominent New Yorkers called at the Arlington yesterday as an expression of tfeir regret, among them Mr. Bissell and Secretary Lamont. A number of floral pieces were received, including a handsome wreath of orchids from President and Mrs. Cleveland and a tribute from Secretary and Mrs. Lamont. —— STILL AT WORK. Another Attempt to Burn St. Mary’s Catholic School. Saturday evening, about 7:30 o'clock, a colored boy, apparently seventeen years old, called at No. 6 ergine house, on Mass- achusetts avenue, and informed the fire- men that they had better go around on Washington street, as there was a house on fire. Just what building it was the boy did not know, nor did he manifest any in- terest in the matter, His warning, how- ever, was heeded, ard when the firemen reached Washington street they found that the fire was in St. Mary’s school. In the meantime some one had turned in an alarm from box 123, which brought several com- panies to the scene of the fire. It was evi- dent that the fire was the work of an in- cendiary, and it.was the third attempt made within three-weeks to burn property of St. Mary’s Church. The fire was in the boys’ primary department, and when the firemen had the flames under control it was seen that the incendiary had gathered from the pupils’ desks all the books and waste paper, and had applied the match after they had been piled on the piano. There was a large oil painting, entitled the “Assumption of the Blessed Virgin,” near the piano, and this was entirely destroyed, This picture was used as an altar picture in the old church building. The loss to the building and school property, including the piano and picture, is estimated at about 2,500. ‘The manner in which the fire bug entered the building is a mystery, for the Sisters in charge of the school are confident that the doors and windows were securely fast- ened Saturday morning, and it is thought possible that the incendiary was secreted in the building during the day. When the fire started the Sisters were in the main building of the school, engaged in evening prayers, and had it not been that the fire was discovered before it had gained much headway the main building may have been destroyed. The police of the sixth precinct are in- vestigating the fire, and are anxious to find the boy who made the report to the firemen. Some of them think that this boy may have set fire to the building and then told the firemen because he became frightened. But he did not seem frightened when he appeared to make the report, although he did not remain long after telling the fire- man what he did, nor was he seen at the burning building after the arrival there of the fire department. The police will not give up the investigation until they are thoroughly satisfied that they have the right party, or that there is no hope of get- ting him. ———— THE NATIONAL RIFLES. Survivors of the Old Corps to Meet and Celebrate. The survivors of the National Rifles of 1861 will commemorate the thirty-fourth anniversary of their muster Into service at the outbreak of the civil war by a re- vnion and banquet, to be held April i5. This company was first organized vember 1859, at the old Lafayette House (now the Ebbitt House), by four- teen gentlemen then residing in Washing- ton, and it became at once so popular among the young men of the city that its recruiting committee was besieged by ap- plicants for membership. In a short time nearly one hundred men were enrolled. ~ These were selected as well for their so- cial and moral standing as for their known intelligence, activity and endurance, which latter were frequently put to the severest tests under the double-quick maneuvers of Hardee's tactics on the cobble-paved streets of the Washington of, that day. Commanded by an officer of the Mexican war—d strict disciplinarian and untiring drill _master—who infused his own spirit into the young company, it elicited the praise of all wno witnessed the drill. Political charges in affairs at the capital had their effect upon the company, result- ing In a change in the command, which was tendered to and accepted by an officer of the regulr army, who, April 10, 1861, led a small remnant of the original company to the War Department to be mustered into the United States service, &fter a stormy withdrawal of the greater body of mem- bers, who had, since the inauguration of Lincoln, manifested a most unmistakable sympathy with the prevailing secession sentiment. The National Rifles of 1861, therefore, bore the honor of having been the first company under orders to report at the War Depart- nent, upon the call of the President for three months’ men. But numbering less than the minimum required, the company’s service was not then accepted. In three days’ recruiting, however, the rarks were again full, and April 15, ’6i, the ccmpany was mustered in, and, with the other military of the District, did efficient guard duty in and about Washington dur- ing that dark and anxious period, when the city was wholly cut off from outside ald. Nearly all the disaffected members who withdrew from the original company en- tered the service of the confederacy. On the other hand, there was scarcely a sol- dier of the new company who did not be- come an officer, and many attained the highest rank in the regular or volunteer forces of the United States after the ex- piration of the three months’ service. Of the original company of 1859 there are now living but four members. Of the company which was “mustered in” there remain of its seventy-nine members only thirty-nine, who might answer the roil call at the coming anniversary assembly. —____ $1.25 To Baltimore and Return $1.25 via B. and 0.

Anniversary of Eastern Presbyterian Church Chapter Celebrated. Yesterday was celebrated as Brotherhood Day in the Bastern Presbyterian Church. The Yokefellows Chapter, No. 59, Brother- hood of Andrew and Philip of that church, ‘was a year old, and last evening they celebrated their first anniversary. The beautiful edifice was tastefully decorated with flags and bunting, the colors of the brotherhood, red, orange and black, pre- dominating. Banked against the wall and in the choir loft were palms and rubber plants, and in front of the pulpit was the emblem of thé chapter. At the evening service the church was well filled. The exercises consisted of selections by the brotherhood choir; a solo by Mr. Charles Myers, whose deep baso voice filled the house, &c. President's report, by Mr. Chas. G. Morgan, and an address by Rev. Howerd Wilbur Ennis, member of the Presbyterian and Federal Council. Mr. Ennis took as a text for his remarks the second verse of the fourteenth chapter of First Johns: “I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong.” The Eastern Presbyterian Chapter, No. 59, is today the largest in the city. It has over eighty members, and a full comple- ment of committeemen. The officers are: C. G. Morgan, president; W: E. Knight, vice president; George P. Thayer, recording secretary; Le Roy Her- ron, corresponding secretary; J. G. Mc- Creight, financial secretary; J. N. Baker, | treasurer.

It has cured me of many complaints and purified my blood. I was troubled with my liver, had hip dis- ease and other troubles, with swelling of my ankles. For a long time I had to walk with a cane. For several years I was GRADUALLY BREAKING DOWN. I had the grip in a severe.form. I procured six bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and it built me up. My recovery I owe to Hood's Sarsoparilla. All my ills have gone and I feel like a new person. I sleep well and eat heartily.” Mrs. CHARLOTTE KELLY, Haywards, Cal. : REMEMBER, Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the Only True Blood Purifier Prominently in the public eye today.
