Beverly and Nelson Thurston, who were earlier in the day indicted for the murder of Charles E. Johnson on the Sth of last February, were arraigned before Judge Cole, when both mer pleaded not guilty. Thurston, however, demurred to the indictment, con- tending that it failed to sufficiently charge him with inciting and aiding in the ac- ccmplishment of the crime. Judge Cole overruled the demurrer, and District At- terney Birney hopes to proceed with the trial next week. The deceased was killed at 3d and Pomeroy streets in a quarrel over game of policy, Beverly stabbing him with a shoemaker’s knife. Case Non-Suited. The government yesterday took a non- sult In its case against Wm. A. Scott and others, in which it sued for possession of premises near the corner of Sth and B streets southeast, claiming that it had escheated to the United States. Eliza J. ‘Thomas, a free colored woman, it was urg- ed, purchased the property in 1844 and died in 1863, unmarried, but having been the mother of severai children. The govern- ment claimed that she left no legal heirs, but Judge Bradley ruled that the govern ment would have to show that there was no marriage, and, not being able to do so, ecunsel for the United States consented to @ non-suit.

Addresses by Students and by the Postmaster General—The Silent Language Used. The presentation exercises of Gallaudet College attracted a large crowd to Kendall Green yesterday afternoon, and the big chapel was filled to the doors with the friends of the institution. As is always the case with exercises of this college, the program was of the most interesting sort, end the various features gave great pleas- tre to the assembled audience. A number of students of the college who were not yet up for graduation were also in the chapel, and followed the exercises with close at- tention. All of the literary features which were prepared by the graduating class were translated into sound by the professors of the college, but were rendered in the sign language by the students themselves. A number of dissertations were presented yesterday afternoon, and these are won- style. Deprived of the senses of spee: end hearing, it would seem as though the students ina deaf and dumb college de- veloped extra powers of observation to make up in a way for their loss. The dis- sertations were on practical subjects con- nected with the college work of the stu- dents, and, in the opinion of many, showed more care and research in thefr prepara- tion than would mark papers of this sort in any ordinary educational institution. The Papers. The dissertations that were formally pre- sented were as follows: Alfred H. Cowan of Canada, on “Common Sense;” Jay C. How- ard, Iowa, “The Poetry of the Bible;” Laura V. Frederick of Pennsylvania, “His- tory of Needlework; Ralph H. Drought of Minnesota, “Elements of National Life;’ Max Marcrosson of Kentucky, “Art in Ad- ertising,” and Mary Martin of New York, ‘The Chambered Nautilus.” The disserta- tions presented by title were a3 follow: Arnold Kiene of Iowa, “Municipal Gover: ment in Europe and’ America;” Richard Williams of Wisconsin, ‘The Principality of Wales;" Harvey W. Peter of Penns vania, ‘The Importance of Invention Christina. Thompson of Iowa, “The Red Cross Society,” and Ernest Bingham of — Carolina, “The Bee-keeping Indus- ry. Degrees Conferred. In presenting the candidates for degree, Dr. Gallaudet said that he was happy to present, in addition to the college candi- dates on the program, the names of five others upon whom the degree of master of arts would be conferred. Of these, three Were old students of the college, J. S. Long of Wisconsin, W. G. Jones of New York and Phillip Hasmstort of Ilinols. These degrees were won in the pursuance of the regular college course. Mr. Long and Mr. Jones are still teaching, and Mr, Hasm- stort is a regularly ordained Methodist minister, who has been doing church work among the mutes of Chicago, where he has a church and a large congregation. ‘The other two recipients of degrees were J. M. Koehler of Pennsylvania and Rev. Austin W. Mann of Ohio. Both of these gentlemen are Episcopal clergymen. Mr. Koehler was the only one of the five candidates present, and at the end of the exercises delivered the benediction, both speaking and using the sign language. Some Addresses, The address to the students yesterday af- ternoon was delivered by Postmaster Gen- eral Wm. L. Wilson, who gave the class an earnest, eloquent address, which was trans- lated into the sign language for the bene- fit of those who could not hear by Dr. Gal- laudet, the president of the institution. Mr. Wilson has for a number of years been a member of the beard of trustees of the Columbia Institute for the Deaf and Dumb. The invocation was delivered by Rev. Dr. Alexander Mackay Smith, rector of St. John's Church. The members of the col- lege who received their degrees yesterday were as follows: Master of arts—Wesley O. Connor, B. S., Georgia School of Technology; Edgar FE. Stauffer, B. A., Lafayette College; Herbert KE. Day, B. Ph., Brown University; Josiah Dearborn, B. #., University of Michigan. Bachelor of arts—Ernest Bingham, Al- fred Harper Cowan, Laura Virginia Fred- erick, Jay Cooke Howard, Arnold Kiene, May Martin, Max Nathan Marcosson,Chris- tina Thompsop and Richard Wallace Wil- liams. Bachelor Drought. Bachelor of philosophy—Harvey William Peter. The class festivities for the season will be closed with a dance tomorrow night in the gymnasium hall. _——— The Marine Band's Success. ‘To the Editor of The Bvening Star: I was much surprised and annoyed this morning @0 recelve a clipping from the Washington Evening Star stating that the Marine Band had stranded in Texas. This is the first intimation I have had that such a malicious lie had been sent forth. The statement is untrue in every way and came from unreliable sources, and you may rest assured that the offender will be severely punished. I cannot see how such a falsehood should receive even a moment's consideration. The Marine Bard left Washington with a mcre substantial financial backing than any organization that has ever taken the road. The only inference that I can draw is that one of the two men who deserted the Marine Band made the vicious state- ment. As a matter of fact, the Marine Band has had a more successful and pros perous tour through the south than any other band in the country. In every city we have visited the citizens have not only been highly gratified at the compliment shown them, but the receipts were far in excess of anything the theatrical managers have ever played. As far as stranding in Texas is concerned, our business there was better than any other plac: I received a notification from Washing- ton stating that the President would not consider the four days’ extra leave applied for, and I was therefore obliged to ca®cel three cities in order to get into Memphis on schedule time. The leave granted by Secretary Herbert was to May 10, but by cutting off four days I find it necessary to make my arrangements so that the band can be in Washington on the morning of May 6. I make these statements in justice to the financial backing, also to Mr. Blank- enship and myself, and I know that in all fairness you will give this letter publica- tion, There has been no danger of stranc ing and the tour has been a great success in every way.

Morning and afternoon trips to Mt. Vernon and Marshall Hall.— Advertisement, AMUSEMENTS, Academy of Music.—The opening of the Hinrichs opera season at the Academy of Music was an entirely auspicious one. A large audience testified its appreciation. From private box to gallery came unmis- takable assurances that “Carmen,” as pre- sented by this organization, albeit under the disadvantages which attend the opening night of a season, was a satisfactory en- tertainment. Rich as this opera is in mel- ody its very prcfusion in that respect pre- vents its immediately impressing itself on the popular sense of tune, and the execu- tion of the artist is a more than ordinarliy important feature of its attractiveness. The toreador song is to be sure a popular sem, and the baritone who does not find in it an opportunity to stir the hearts of his audience is unworthy of his profession. Campanari could not have had a more fa- vorable opening to impresg himself on the public of this city, and he could not have taken advantage of it more brilliantly. He was greeted with enthusiasm, which amounted to an ovation. Del Papa sang the role of Don Jose with musical finish and gave -promise of being a_ highly valued member of the organization. It is to be regretted that the dramatic require- ments of grand opera, especially in a case where the dramatic element is so strong as in Carmen, have so often to be sacrificed to’ the musical necessities. People who can sing these roles well are scarce enough; those who can both sing and act them well are veritable jewels. Mme. Koert Kro- nold sang the title role with the firmness yet flexibility of voice which have hitherto been so much appreciated here. She acted the part not without spirit, though per- haps a little self-consciously. Mme. Van Cauteren, as Michaela, won the approval of the audience by the sympathetic rich- ness of her vuice and the chorus and minor parts were not deficient. The excellence of the entertainment at popular prices is this season, as it was last, a matter of agreeable surprise. Tonight’ “Faust” will be sung with Campanari, Vivianl, Kro- nold, Van Cauteren and Fleming in the cast. New National Theater.—Everybody who bevght a ticket for the Kendals at the Nctional last night got “The Queen's Shil- ling” for change, and everybody felt that he was very corsiderably ahead on the deal. In very striking, and even more pleasing than striking, contrast to ‘The Ironmaster” of the previous night is “The Queen's Shilling,” and a very delightful Piece of play work it is, with its military glitter and precision, and its story of the love of a private soldier triumphing over that of his tolonel, a phase of the conflict of hearts which always exceeds in interest the more to he expected victory of the great and powerful. Farragut Post's Benefit.—‘‘The Strollers” o: East Washington presented ‘The Three Furies,” a one-act comedietta, and “Uncle,” a three-act farce, at Odd Fellows’ Hall last right, under the auspices of Farragut Post and Relief Corps, G."A. R. Both were put on in quite a creditable manner, and the werk of the young people in beth presen- tations met with much _— encourage- ment. Those who took part in the produc- tions were S. Miles Bouton, R. R. Riordon, Agnes Flynn, Laura Eichelberger, Berthe Yoder and Annie French, W. T. Kirby, H. Ashby, Wa. Leffingwell, Bessie Erly and Shirley Potter. The especial feature of the evening was the new Farragut Post March, under the direction of Mr. Riordon and the leadership of Miss M. D. Swingle, in which sixteen young ladies of the Eastern High School performed a number of pretty and difficult evolutions. Miss Eichelberger sang between the acts and received hearty ap- plause, her song, “Since Bertie Commenced Delsarte,” making a decided hit. National Rifles’ Armory.—The entertain- ment to be given by the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union at National Rifles’ armocy Monday aad Tuesday even- ings next promises to be quite a success. The plans of the managers of the affair are rapidly nearing completion, and the as- surance is given of a most delightful and entertaining evening. The Capitol Hill or eastern section will he arranged by Miss Martha Haines, and the center or middle section will be looked after by Miss Mary E, Drown. The entertainment will consist of music, tableaux and a great variety of interesting special features, and many of the Y’s will take part in the program. St. Stephen's Fair.—The ladies of St. Ste- phen’s parish, Columbia Heights, held a fair in the parish hall last night for the Purpose cf raising money to pay off the debt which now rests on the organ in the new church. The congregation has just built 2 handsome new house of worship, ad- joining the old one, using the latter as a hall and Surday school room. An enter- tainment and supper was given in conjunc- tion with the fair, which realized quite a neat little sum towerd the realization of the ladies’ hopes. The tables contained fancy articles of great variety and number, and they were disposed of at quite a rapid rate. The affair will be continued tonight, the supper being omitted, and a literary and musical entertainment being substi- tuted in its stead. There will be no charge for admission. Miss Starkey’s May Ball.—Notwithstand- ing the inclement Weather of last night Miss Starkey’s third annual May ball, at the National Rifles’ armory, was in every way a success. When the grand march started at 8 o'clock a sea of faces looked down upon the little ones from the gallery and the surrounding seats, and the enthu- siasm brought out by this event was ci tinued threughout the evening. This year's class is made up of about sixty scholars, and every one displayed great proficiency. Gold medals were given by the teacher for deportment and attendance after a neat speech of welcome had been made. The Umbrella, Gaiety Girls and the Dance of the Brownies were the new dances intro- duced, and, with an impromptu song and dance in costume, proved to be the features of the evening. Gardiner G. Hubbard's Lecture.—Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard will lecture before the Catholic University this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, his subject being ‘‘The Life of Napoleon, as Told by His Portraits." The lecture will be illustrated with a fine series of stereopticon vie The City of Rome.—Rev. Father Dulaney Addison wiil lecture on the City of Rome at Trinity Parish Hall, corner of 3d street and Indiana avenue, tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. His lecture will be illustrated, and Indiana avenue, tomorrow evening at taining speaker, the lecture will be inter- esting and profitable. Mr. Kaspar's Recital.—A great deal of in- is being manifested in the coming farewell recital of Mr. Anton Kaspar, the well-known Violinist of this city, prior to his departure for Berlin to engage in a course of study. It will be held at the Uni- st Church, corner 13th and L streets northwest, next Saturday evening, and a program of unexcelled musical numbers is looked for by his friends and by the friends of those who will assist him. Mme. Kas- par, Miss Lena Stakely, Miss Mary Lock- hart and the Wilhelmj Club, under the leadership of Prof. Josef Kaspar, will assist Mr. Anton Kaspar, and a most en- joyable musical evening is assured. The Imperial Mandolin Club Concert.— The Imperial Mandolin Club, composed of Messrs. Clarence M. Jones, C. Percy Rear- den, Charles W. Becker, Paul G. Hough and J. Frank Jones, will give a concert at the Academy of Music next Sunday night. Prof. George J.

To the Editor of The S¥ening Star: I see by the papers that another death has been caused ty escaping gas, where the gas cock had postop to limit its move- ment. There is not a sladow of excuse for such criminal carelessness in the owner or occu- pant of prémises im which gas is used. Where a death oceurs from this cause the occupant of the premises ought to be made legally respo1 sible,!if, indeed, they are not so now. Why do not the Commissoners of this “best governed city in the world’ provide some regulation of gas fixtures, and for their inspection to see that they are Big vided with this safeguard at least? a tection to life is just as important in this matter as in the case of street cars. So, too, every year several persons are killed and others maimed and injured for life in the District by the falling of der- ricks, staging, &c.. in the erection of build- ings. If we had a law which would hold the contractor or person in charge of the work directly responsible for the injuries arising from these causes many lives and mich suffering would be saved, because th a the party in charge would see to it that these appliances were made safe be- yond a doubt. In nearly all the states, especially,at the north, special laws exist compelling man- ufacturers to provide special means to save employes from accidents by machinery, &c. while here no attention seems to have bee given to such matters. It seems to me that this is a matter de- serving of attention. W. C. D. ——-_—_ Marshall Hall Season Opened. The excursion season of the Mount Ver- non and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company opened on May 1. Marshall Hall is well kncwn as the ideal resort on the Potomac river and unequaled in loveliness. The old cclonial mansion of the Marshalls, with its bread piazzas, is a haven of repose and comfort. The spacious green lawns, a never-ending charm to the eyes—beautiful river walks and mossy dells—add to the environment. All that can invite ladies and children will be found here, and more than ali else, efficient management looking to their comfort and protection. The steamers Macalester and River Queen have been overhauled, painted and placed in splendid shape and the speed of the Macalester largely increased, making her the fastest steamer on the upper Potomac. The schedule of trips for the month of May is as follows: Steamer River Queen, for Mar- shall Hall and river landings as far down as Glymont, at 9:30 a.m., returning, reach the city at 3 p.m.; steamer Macalester, for Mt.

I told him I wasn't that kind and had him arrested.” “What have you got to say about this charge?” the court asked Henry Watson, the prisoner. “I was a little full last night,” sald the prisoner, “and I may have been a little disorderly. But, judge, I'm a member of and will be tried for the fourth artillery, being absent “Five dollars,” said the court, Sam's soldier went back. ———— Has Been Boubly Condemned. There was an array of witnesses in the Police Court today: to complain of the character of Howard Bradshaw's shoe shop, 307 North Carolina avenue southeast. The house is owned by Judge Kimball and has been oondenined, and when the evl- dence was heard the judge sald he would see that the place is:soon broken up, as he will take a personal'interest in the matter. ‘The shap is al filled with little children,” said the mother of a boy on trial for disorderly conduct;’ “and they drink beer and whisky there. The boys on trial were George Johnson, Lang Scheir and George Butte. J. D. Hopkins, who lives In the neighbor- hood of the house made the complaint. The Butte boy, the smallest of the trio, was released and the others were fined % each. and Uncle —.+ — Took a Ring. Policeman Hartigan of the sixth precinct arrested a colored boy named George John- son at the house of Mr. J. J. Appich, 325 Missouri avenue, and recovered a diamond ring worth $150. George was employed as wagon driver for a caterer and was at the house in pursuance of his employment,when he saw Mr. Appich’s diamond where he had left it on the ice chest. When accused of the theft Johnson blamed {it on a smaller boy, but when placed under arrest and told he would be locked up until he produced the ring he showed where he had secreted it beneath the cushion in the wagon. Judge Miller heard the case today and held the prisoner in $1,000 security for the grand jury. ff — Atlanta Exposition. At a meeting of the colored commission- ers of the District for the Atlanta exposi- tion last evening it was decided that a general appeal should be made to the colored people of the District to contribute financially to the success of the exhibit, and a letter was prepared to be sent to all the cclored pastors and others of prominence in the District asking their co-operation. I.

At the session of the southern conference of Unitarian churches in Baltimore yester- day Mr. Enoch Pratt of that city, in the course of some remarks, urged, as he had done before the middle states conference, the selection of this city as the proper place for holding the national conference of Unitarians. Officers of the conference were elected for the ensuing term as follows: President, Frank N. Hartwell of Louisville, Ky.; vice presidents, Judge Thomas J. Morris, Balti- more; F. G. Bromberg, Mobile, Ala.; Rev. George L. Chaney, Richmond, V secre- tary and treasurer, Rev. W. C. Peirve, New Orleans. The following were added to the board of directors: Rev. J. M. Seaton, Richmond,Va. W. G. Minn, Louisville, Ky.; Rev. George H. Clare, H. S. Spinning, Memphis, Tenn.; Mrs. L, C. French, J. C. Tyler, Knoxville, Tenn.; Rev. John Snyder, John E. Mc- Reighan, St. Louis, Mo.; Rev. George A. Thayer, Joseph Willey, Cincinnati, Ohio. The Southern Associate Alliance, which is the ladies’ auxiliary of the church, elected officers as follows: President, Mrs. George L. Chaney, Richmond; vice president, Mrs. F. C. Swift, Atlanta, Ga.; secretary and treasurer, Miss Caroline H. Marsh, Charles- ton, S.C. i An address was delivered last evening at First Independent Christ's Church by Mr. Carroll D. Wright on “The Sout ts Labor and Industries.” He said that one solution of the negro question is education, and if the negro cannot be assimilaied the solu- tion is to make him an industrial citizen. He predicted that with the negro entering the field of skilled labor in the south, then that section will have its experie trouble between labor and capital. He though: that these troubles would pot be as severe in the south as in other v¥rts of the world, as that section will profit by the experience of labor difficulties elsewhere.
