Church was the scene of a very pretty wedding last Thursday evening, the contracting parties being Mr. Samuel J. McMichael of South Carolina and Miss Mary Ella Wynkoop of Virginia. Miss M. Louise Rose presided at the or- gan. The bride entered the church on the arm of her cousin, Mr. Harry Denham, and was met at the altar by the groom ard his best man, Mr. Hardy Gregory of North Carolina. She was dressed in a very be- coming toilet of white silk and pearl or- naments, her veil being caught with sprays of lilies of the valley, and she carried a bouquet of bride roses. There were five bridesmaids—Misses Troup, Denham, Clok- ey, Wynkoop and Hurley—in white organ- die, carrying pink roses, and a maid of honor—Miss Emily H. Rose—in white silk, carrying bride roses. The ushers were Messrs. J, Arthur Rose, D. Grant Davis, Hamilton and F. M. Conser. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Dr. Whit- man, formerly of Mt. Vernon Church, as- sisted by Rev. Mr. Canter, the present pastor. After a short reception held in the Sunday school room the bride and groom left for a trip through the south. The last and one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the C. E. Club was given lest night by Miss Mary Rover, 49 S street northwest.

Ketcham is the chief of the stationery division of the Interior Depart- ment. —— ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS. Many Interesting Notes From Down the River. Rev. J. Thompson Cole, general secretary of the foreign mission board of the Protesi- ant Episcopal Church, delivered a highly interesting lecture on Japan in the parish hall of Christ Church last night before a large audience. His lecture was illustrated with stereopticor views, made for the most part by himself, while he was in Japan as a missionary. Horsewhipped the Boy. A little boy named Poss was severely horsewhipped by a contractor named J. F. Baily in front of Cox’s tavern yesterday aiternoon. From what could be learned of the affair it appears that young Poss was playing in a pile of sand that belonged to Baily, who, driving by at the time, saw the boy, jumped out of his buggy and without telling the boy to stop, severely castigated him with his buggy whip. A warrant was sworn out for Baily’s arrest and he will be tried as soon as caught. Notes. Ashby has returned from where she has been spending Mrs. C. W. Atlantic Cit, a few weeks. The funeral of Miss Melvina Robey, whose death was mentioned in The Star, took place from her late residence on Prince street this afternoon. It was at- tende? ty a large number of friends.

A petition for divorce has been filed by Jonn Fortune from Henrietta Fortune. They were married here April 27, 1884, and lived together here about two years, when, the husband charges, his wife began to use liquor to excess, and, he says, willfully de- serted him, June 1, 1897. —— Confidence in Mr. Emery. The board of directors of the Associated Charities met last night and passed a reso- lution expressing entire confidence in Sec- retary L. S. Emery and declaring the be- lief that he had no knowledge of the stor- age of goods belonging to the organization at No. 479 Missouri avenue. A comfnittee was also appointed, consisting of Rev. J. H. Bradford, Prof. B. T. Janney and Mr. B, P. Davis, to make a detailed report of the transaction at the next meeting. The probabilities are that nothing further will be done in the matter. —_— Junior Christian Endeavor. Different societies of the Junior Christian Endeavor Union have, during the past year, been holding a number of entertainments for the purpose of raising funds for the establishment of a children’s home near Fally Church. Next Friday evening, at the First Congregational Church, the Union has arranged for a big mass meeting and en- tertainment. The best selections given dur- ing the year by the separate societies will be presented that night for the gratification of the entire union. The entertainment in- cludes songs, violin duets, Chinese drill, cornet solo, addresses and other features, ‘A representative from each of the different societies will, during the evening, state the amount of offering for the purposes of the home. The seats in the body of the churc! are to be reserved for the members of th: junior society, while the galleries are to be thrown open to the public. THE SECOND SECTION Street Extension Plan for Eastern Part of District. Fewer Difficulties Encountered and Work Progressing Rapidly—Avenues Clear to the District Line. Work upon the second section of the street extension plan has begun in earnest, and the engineer department is hard at work studying the situation. This second section, ®hile much larger in point of area, is nothing like so difficult of solution as the first section, which is now a matter of rec- ord. The second section takes in all that territory from North Capitol street to the Eastern branch, and on account of its great area has been subdivided into three parts. The one which is now under consideration is that portion of the northeast lying be- tween North Capitol street and the Blad- ensburg road. Although the maps are in- complete, enough is shown to distinguish several important features. Rhode Island avenue is extended in a straight line to the District line, with a slight deflection at 14th street east, in Brookland. This was found necessary to get a better grade, and also on account of the Brentwood road, which it takes in. New York avenue is extended straight to e District line, and its width will cor- jpond with the width of the avenue with- in the city mits. A portion of the Brentwood road has been incorporated into Delaware avenue and widened to 120 feet near the boundary. A new avenue (not named), 160 feet wide. and an extension of the driveway afforded by the Piney Branch roadway has been laid out running from the southeast cor- ner of the Soldiers’ Home at the intersec- tion of Michigan avenue, Bunker Hill road and the road between ,the Soldiers’ me amd the Catholic University. ‘The western part of Bunker Hill road has been widened to 120 feet, and will become part of Michig&n avenue. The new avenue named above, which runs from the southeast corner of the Sol- diers’ Home, intersects with Rhode Island avenue and Delaware avenue, at a circle which has been laid out on a line of 10th street, just north of Harmony cemetery. Maryland avenue is projected through Graceland ceinetery in a straight line to the Eastern branch. Bladensburg road will be widened to 90 feet, and a circle placed at its intersection with the avenue which runs from the southeast corner of the Soldiers’ Home. ‘The entire subdivision of Montello, which does not conform ‘to the streets of the city, has been entirely readjusted to conform with the regular north, south, east and west streets of the general plan. A large rectangular reservation has been provided at the intersection of the avenue running from the southeast corner of the Soldiers’ Home with New York avenue. Fifteenth and 17th streets form the east and west boundaries of this reservation, and T and U streets the north and south sides. An important feature of the new plan Is the abandonment of the Brentwood road from S street to 16th street, except at those portions which are in line with the regular east and west, north and south streets. Albany street will be projected through the north part of the Prospect Hill ceme- tery, and this is the only street shown on the map which will affect the cemetery. Summit, Terrace, Ellis and Park streets in the subdivision north of Graceland ceme- tery have been obliterated, and Maryland avenue, K, I and 17th streets have been projected through the Graceland cemetery, taking nearly four-fifths of the land. The engineer department is congratulat- ing itself on the few obstacles that are be- ing ercountered, and it is believed that the preparation of the map will not consume one-half the time the first section did. Generally speaking, the subdivisions en- countered are laid out in conformity with the streets of the city, and the grades are, with a few exceptions, not difficult. ———__ A Crusade Upo the Evils of Wash- ington’s Alley: To the Editor of The Evening Si Judge Kimball of the Police Court is endeavoring to blot out one of the most glaring of Washington's evils, namely, the living together of men and women without being married. He has instructed the po- lice to arrest every couple that is chus breaking the law and bring them before ah law.” The Star ‘of May 193 tells of six cases that were dispos#@ of that date. The question whether the colored race will be any more moral, or, rather, less immoral, by the enforcing of this law can only be answered by saying that the off- spring of these unions will be !egitimatized and the Christian people of the nation will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have done what they could in the way of promoting decency among their fellow- men. In many cases brought before the court, in fact, in most of them, the parties defendant seem not only willing but anx- fous to be legally bound to each other, but the question of the fee for the license and for the minister seems one with which they are unable to cope. They have little thought of* how the mouths of the little waifs, the outcome of these unions, are to be filled or wherewith they are to be cloth- ed. They evidently have implicit confi- dence in the Scripture, “‘The Lord will pro- vide.” And, indeed, He does provide, for during a residence in this city of nine years the writer has yet to learn of a death from starvation; while the climate is such that for only a few weeks in the year is the question, “wherewith shall they be cloth- ed?” one of much moment. In The Star of the date already men- tioned it was stated that a minister at the court refused to marry two couples who had been tried and found guilty, but who expressed a willingness to conform to the law by being married then and there, un- | less he could be paid $2—$1 per couple. (He had his price.) Fortunately, a man was discovered who was illing to do what bis hand found to do, without money and without price. It is with regret that I have to state that this man is not a min- ister in our own city, but it is a pleasure to feel that in our sister city—Baitimore— we can secure the services of the hi . P. Ryder when our own minist¢ value theirs too highly. Would it not be well for the ministers of Washington to have a meeting and agree that one of their number should be in attendance upon the Police Court each day, ready to perform an ligious ceremony that was necessary ing it turn about, there are ministe: encugh in Washington to make the at- tendance of each at the court necessary about once a month. This estimate is made, omitting, of course, the minister who wants his $2 per couple. Our alleys are filled with persons as truly heathen as any a Livingston or a Stanley ever found “In Darkest Africa.” When we have a just judge, who is willing and ar.x- ious to enforce good and just laws, ought not the Christian ministers and missionary societies hold up his hands and assist him in his good work? I have one other suggestion to Let the police in the city and the mo: police in the county make house-: inquiry as to whether help is nesded. : the unemployed all registered, with the oc- cupation they prefer set opposite taeir names. When a party is found who de- sires to have his grass cut the police can turn to the register and find a man who is competent to do this, then sen: where he-can earn wages. The are anxious to find men to +ultivate their crops and are willing to pay for this work from $10 to $15 per month, with poa of course, you will meet the objection, “We don’t like to go to the country.” It Is, of course, more sociable for them in their alleys, but make them work at the work provided for good wages or send them to the work house as vagrants and compel them to work for the county. Never until the capital is rid of its alleys, with their euphonious (2) names—Louse alley, Goat alley, &c.—will It be what it should be—a model city. Close the alleys, enforce the law making education compulsory, and in a few years it will be unnecessary for us to call upen Baltimore for a minister to help us en- force our “Utah law.” M. B.

President Warner of the board of trade has appointed the following committee to send a protest to Gov. O'Ferrall of Virginia against the gambling resorts at Jackson City and Rosslyn,provided for by resolutions adopted at Tuesday night's meeting? cae Moore, Jesse B. Wilson, Theodot Noyes, Charles G. Conn, Beriah Wilkin: G. Slater, Judge Kimball of the Pol sik Court, M. G. Emery and A. P. Fardon. Mr. Moore has called a meeting of this committee for tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at the board of trade rooms. The Star’s Richmond correspondent tele- graphed last evening to The Star as fol- lows: “Gov. O’Ferrall, who returned “from Pocahcntas today, was seen by The Star correspondent in reference to the action of the board of trade of Washington, D.C., calling upon him to suppress the lawless- ness in Alexandria county, Virginia. The governor seemed surprised that the people of Washington persist in the belief that it is in his power to-break up the gambling dens on the island, “He says he can act only when the sheriff calls upon him, and that officer has not yet done so. If the sheriff called upon him he could only send the troops: to prevent overt acts and enforce the law. He is only too anxious, he says, to wipe out this blot of the good name of Virginia, but until the legislature meets again the remedy les with the county authorities.” ——————— Mrs. Penry’s Lectare. A committee of the National Geographic Society held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr. John W. Thomp- son, on I street, for the purpose of perfect- ing the details for the special meeting of the society which is to be held next Thurs- day, and at which Mrs. Peary, wife of the arctic explorer, is to deliver a lecture on her own experiences in the far north when with her husband. Mrs. Peary’s ob- ject in going on the lecture platform is to raise funds to fit out an expedition to res- cue her husband and bring him back to this country, instead of leaving him to the chance of being picked up by some passing whaler next fall. Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, Gen. A. W. Greely, Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Mr. John Hyde, Lieut. Everett Hayden, Mr. C. J. Bell, Mrs. J. W. Pilling, Mrs. Henry F. Blount, Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee, Miss- Thompson, Miss Waite, Miss Garner and others wera present at the meeting yester- day. Mrs. Peary is a Washingtonian, and has lived for two winters farther north than any other white woman has ever gone. Her lecture here next Thursday, illustrated by a large number of beautiful lantern slides, will doubtless attract a large audience. ————.—__ = People’s Church Banquet. Beautifully decorated and tastefully ar- ranged tables were laid in Typographical Temple Hall last night for the banquet given by the members of the People’s Church, and over eighty ladies and gen- tlemen sat around them until a late hour relishing the good things of a substantial and intellectual sort that were served in such abundance.

Munroe as ioast- mistress called upon many of the guests to respond to appropriate toasts. DIED. ALMY. On Thursday, May 16, 1895, at 3:07 a.m. JOHN J. ALMY, at his home, 1019 Vermont avenue.
