Under the law signs and awnings are required to be at least eight feet from the sidewalk,*and now that the merchants are putting up their awnings for the summer season, the police are inspecting them. Those who violate the law will have to an- swer before the Police Court for the offense. When the Commissioners issued the order against street obstructions several weeks ago several arrests were made. Today Policeman Ehler had a case in court. The defendant was Homer Camp- bell, whose place of business Is at 8th and C streets northeast. Judge Kimball told the merchant that there was no disposition on the part of the police or the court to impose a penalty in these cases. All that is wanted Is to have the law complied with. Mr. Campbell promised to violation of law and the court sonal bonds. If you want —in the way Prices striking}; remedy the took his per- ———— Glut of Fish. In the words of Inspector Harris, who looks after the murine products for the District, “the river is full of fish.” ‘There 1s a glut in the fish market, and at the river front no reasonable offer is refused. So many fish have been caught and brought here, and the prices have been so low, that several of the fishing shores have been abandoned and hundreds of men left without employment. The finest shad are bringing only about $10 a hu red, while herring are selling as low as fifty Cents a thousand. Other fish are selling at correspondingly low prices. Last week there arrived at Fishtown 57 , 33,423 shad, 68 carp, 5 stur- bunches of fish and the week the fMspector con- demned 120,000 herring, 40 shad, 91 bunches of fish and 210 bushels of oysters. These fish were taken back down the river and used for fertilizing purposes. “The Bible Unique Among the Litera- tures ef the World” was the subject of a lecture delivered last night by Rev. Dr. R. H. McKim at a meeting held in the Metro- yolitan M. E. Church, under the auspices of the American Society of Religious Educa- tion. This was the closing lecture of a series of addresses on the Bible which have leen delivered during the winter before the scclety. Rev. J. E. Gilbert presided. Dr. McKim considered the Bible purely from a literary ndpoint, and directed attention to its in it doe: sonnets, eresting composition, Including, as laws, codes and rituals, songs and poetry, sermons, parables and proverbs, In that sublime composition, the first chapter of Genesis, he said, over 1,500 yeers of Jewish Mfe and history 1s com- pressed, and the book of Job was without a peer in the dramas of literature. Dr. McKim said that {t was proof of the divine origin of the Bible that although over fifty authors are represented in Its cemposition, and it consists of so many separate books, written at widely differing periods and places, yet it retains its unity a3 a whole eS Chapin Union, Yesterday afternoon the Chapin Union of the W.

The Masonic bodies of Georgetown, four in number, held a reunion last night at Masonic Hall. A limited number of out- siders were invited to be present, and they came, one and all. The main lodge room was converted into a concert hall, with all the necessary accessories, whilé the ban- quet hall, to the rear, was waxed for the dance and decorated artistically with drap- ed flags and emblems of the Masonic or- der. From 8 to 9:30 the musical and lit- erary program was presented. Mr. Arthur Yundt, late of the Tuxedo Quartet, was resent and rendered violin and mando- lin selections. The first was Lang's beauti- ful “Flower Song,” and the second, “Adieu, Ma Belle.” Mr. A. Stern, with his imita- tons of Hopper, Sothern’ and other popu- lar actors, merited well the appreciation evidenced, and Mr. J. Travis Cocker of the Carroll Institute Dramatic Club won strong applause for his “Description of Queen Mab,” from “Romeo and Juliet,” and imi- tation of pupils in a reading class. George O'Connor was obliged to respond to three encores. He gave in his own Georgian way, “You Can't Lose Me, Charlie,” “Alabama Coon,’ I've Been Thinking Ever Since” and “Turn Over.” A very pleasing effort of the evening was the solo work of Miss Helen Prentiss Donohu of the Linthicum Students, whose sweet voice was heard y In the waltz song from the “Red ‘and Bischoff’s “He Told Me So.” Mr. John Armstrong, in his whistling solos, made a decided hit.’ The newly organized Metropolitan Quartet, Mr Aveline Dufour, leader, closed the prog: 1 with “The Belle of New York” and a uu.edley, arrang- ed by Mr. Dufour. ‘Their work ‘was ex- cellent and encores ‘were demanded. At 9:39 1efreshments were served and then followed a dance. For the benefit of those who have never been initiated into the order, the famous Masonic goat, a monster ‘billy, was placed on exhibition in an ante room of the Masonic building. Last night's affair was one of the pleasantest ever Indulged in by the lodges here. Notes. Mr. John Blundon is grading in Bur- teith, on the New Cut road, where will be erected eighteen new houses by Mr. John Leetch. An eight-year-old daughter of Mrs. Hoover of Essex court was terribly scald- ed here day before yesterday through the tlting of a botler of heated water. The child is in a precarious condition. Dr. Birdsall is in attendance. It is reported that the Wm. Wharton Co. of Philadeiphia has secured an option from the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Co. on the water power at dams 4 and 5, and will harness it for the purpose of furnishing electrical power to Willtamsport and Ha- gerstown.” The amount to be invested is said to be over a quarter of a million dol- lars. ‘The coal trade on the canal is reviving again after a period of lethargy.

Curtis, who was stabbed twice in the ribs by George Wilkins, now under arrest, has recovered sufficiently to be out and about. One of the colored sweepers fell from his machine this morning at 3 o'clock and was considerably injured. a TROOP A’S MARCH. ‘The Route Mapped Out for the. Com- ing Trip President’s Troop A, the cavalry organi- zation of the District National Guard, ex- pects to start on its summer march June 18, in company with twenty-five members of the famous troop A of New York city, under Capt. Roe. The itinerary of the march has been arranged. The first day the troopers mean to reach Fairfax Court House, Va., a distance of sixteen miles. The following day the country between Fairfax Court House and Gainesville, sev- enteen miles, will be covered. The march on the second day could be made from Fair- fax Cougt House to Manassas by way of Centerville, thus passing over the battle- fields of Chantilly, Centerville, Bull Run and Manassas, and the itinerary may be changed to provide for the foregoing. The third day's march is from Manassas to Warrenton, twenty-one miles. The party will remain at Warrenton until the even- ing of the fifth day, when it will march to a point near Marshall, Va., and bivouac. From Marshall to Front Royal is the pro- gram for the sixth day, and for the seventh Front Royal to Winchester. As now pro- posed the eighth and ninth days are to be spent in Winchester, but by marching from Front Royal to Strasburg and from Stras- burg to Winchester on the seventh an eighth days the historic battlefields of the campaigns of Stonewall Jaekson and Phil Sheridan, including Cedar Creek, would be covered. This would give the ninth day at Winchester, as well as all of the tenth day until evening, when the march could be re- sumed to Camp Wheat. The route as mapped out provides that on the tenth day the cavalrymen will march from Winchester to Camp Wheat, the next day from Camp Wheat to Round Hill, the twelfth day from Round Hill to Leesburg, spending the thirteenth day in Leesburg. The day foliowing they proceed from Lees- burg to Falls @hurch, and on the fifteenth and final day reach the armory. The dis- tance to be covered is 193 miles. — A STUDENTS’ CONCERT. Mrs. H. H. Mills’ Pupils Successfully Interpret a Well-Selected Program. The large audience that assembled in Metzerott Hall last night testified by their emphatic, yet discriminating, applause to the satisfaction given by the interpretation of the well-selected program by the pupils of Mrs, Harriet H. Mills. She is the first teacher in Washington to have so large a s that it required two evenings to properly present those who had made suf- ficient progress to warrant an appearance. Those who participated in last night’s pro- gram represented various stages of vocal development, from the student of a year up to the finished work of three members of the Philharmonic Quartet, yet all ac- quitted themselves in a manner so credit- able as to indicate honest and earnest en- deavor on their part and intelligent direc- tion on the part of thefr accomplished in- structor. Of invaluable assistance to the singers and of decided gratification to the audience was the accompaniment work of Miss Lotta Mills. There were two quintets, one from “Rob Roy” and the other from “Carmen,” that were specially well done. Those taking part last night were Misses Mitchell, McKee, Milliken, Whitcomb, Doe, Halley, McCulloch, Stidham, Jeffrey, Tur- ner, Judson, Kappeler, Muir, Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. Hills, Messrs. Mills, Kappeler, Leub- kert and ‘Skerrett. The’ second musicale will take place Friday night, with an en- tirely different program. —__ A Book Reception. An entertainment was given at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall, on 7th street northwest, last evening, for the purpose of increasing the Odd Fellows’ Mbrary. Every one who en- tered the hall was obliged to hand the doorkeeper a book, and by this means the brary received a decided impetus, as the crowd was large and no one forgot his or her mission. The program was made up of recitations by Robert Smiley, Miss T. E. Powers, Mrs. F. B. Leach, Miss Mattie Wade, Mr. Sheridan Ferree and Mr. Aaron Stern. Mr. A. Perry, Mr. Murdock, Miss Clara Rosafy and Mr. Harry Wolf’ sang. Mr. Byron Bond of the Burnt Cork Club also rendered several yocal selections. The hit of the evening was made by the con- tortionists, Shackelford and Graham, also of the Burnt Cork Club, and they received a decided encore for their excellent work. The entertainment closed with a creditable presentation of the three-act farce “Uncle,” by Messrs. R. R. Riordan, W. T. Kirby, H. Ashby, S. Miles Bouton, William Lef- finger and Misses Bessie Erly, Shirley Pot- ter and Bertha Yoder. ——— Decorate Your Lawns.

Bishop Gaines, who presided over the re- cent session of the A. M. E. conference at Baltimore, and who was expected to make a decision today as to whether or not he would reconsider his appointment of Rev. W. C. Gowens to the pastorate of the Hills- dale A. M. E. Churgh, apd place Rey, Dr. Oveltcn again in chargé, reached Wash- ington late last nigat, and left the city at 7:30 o'clock this morning for Atlantic City, in compdny with Rev. Dr. Armstrong, sec- retary of the department of finance of the A. M. E. church. Bishop Gaines spent his time while in Washington at the headquarters of the de- partment of finance, No. 1535 14th street northwest, where it was this morning stated that he had denied himself to all visitors during his stay, and it was he- ueved that he took the papers in the Hills- dale case with him to Atlantic City, where he would carefully consider the petition for Dr. Ovelton’s restoration to the Hillsdale pestorate, and render his decision at his convenience. In the meantime the war goes merrily on between Rev. Mr. Gowens, Bishop Gaines’ erpcintee, on the one side and the friends of Rev. Dr. Ovelton, who appear to com- prise the entire membership of the cheérch, With one exception, on the other. Dr, Ovel- ton has been repeatedly urged to join in the controversy, but steadily refuses to do £0, and today or tomorrow will go to his new appointment, at Fruitland, Wicomico ectnty, Md., where he will preach Sunday next. Monday, however, he expects to re- sign charge of the Fruitland church. ‘This will plac> him on the conference list a3 a local elder, and he will, without waiting to have his resignation aeted upon by au- thority, return to Hillsdale and quietly await developments. Yesterday the dispute in Church got into the courts, Rev. W. C. Gowens having applied to Judge Cole for a mandamus to compel the trustees of the church to permit him to preach in the building. News that the suit had been in- stituted reached Hillsdale last night, and produced the most intense excitement among those members of the congregation who learned of it. It was freely stated that if the mandamus asked for shail be granted it will be obeyed, but that every tecinical- ity of the law governing the case will be availed of to oust Mr. Gowens, and that he will receive no support from’ members of the church or congregation. A prominent member of the church, who has been taking a great interest in the present trouble says he has discovered a church law which provides that if, after the close of the conference, the majority of the members of a church desire the removal of the minister assigned to them, the bishop who made the appointment must grant the request. This law will, it is said, be availed of at the proper time. Judge Cole today directed that Lemuel Henson and the other trustees of the Hills- daie African M. E. Church show cause Saturday next why a writ of mandamus should not issue to ccmpel them to open the doors of the church to the Rev. W. C. Gowens. the Hillsdale —+_—_ THE BUILD SOLD. Endowment Associntion Property on Tenth Street at Auction. At the decreed sale of the office building of the Washington Beneficial Endowmeat Association, 419 10th street, yesterday af- ternoon, the property was purchased by the Franklin Fire Insurance Company for $22, 000, the sum of $195 being paid for the of- fice fixtures. The sale was directed come time ago by Judge Cox, but was delayed for a time by the receivers, Messrs. A. A. Lipscomb and T. M. Fields, who hoped to make a more advantageous disposition of the property through a private sale. The first bid made yesterday was $10,000, and some lively bid- ding by Directors James L. Norris and Ralph Galt of the Franklin Fire Insurance Company, and by Messrs. Eugene F.Arnold, Jesse H. Graham and Robert S. Campbell s followed, the property be'ng finally knock- ed down on Mr. Norris’ bid of $22,000, To a Star reporter Secretary Will P. Bo- teler of the Franklin Fire Insurance Com- pany stated today that the company’s pur- pose in purchasing the property was to se- cure more commodious quarters. For half a cenzury, he stated, the company has oc- cupled part of the Bank of the Republic building, at D and 7th streets, but for quite a long time has desired to secure much larger and more conveniently ar- ranged offices, ‘Ihe sale of the Endow- ment building presented such an oppor- tunity, and, explained Mr. Boteler, the company will soon take possession of the ter building, which is admirably adapted to such purposes. The terms of the sale require that there shall be a payment of one-third cash, balance in one and two years, but Mr. Boteler, said that the com- pany ‘might pay for the building in cash at once. Se Education Evening nat the May Fete. Last evening was education evening at the May fete. The exercises were in charge of the educational committee, which con- sisted of Mrs. Cabell, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Wil- liamson, Mrs. Stakely, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Morton, Miss Herbert, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Sidwell, Mrs. Harrington, Miss Voorhces and Mrs. Barclay.
