At the meeting of Rescue Lodge last Monday evening, at 4%% and G streets south- west, visitors were present from Minneha- ha and Good Will Lodges. Chief Templar Thomas presided. Three candidates were duly initiated. Mr. W. T. Raley was elected Grand Lodge representative to fill a vacancy, and Mr. Howard E. Griffith was elected alter- nate. During the social session Mr. How- ard E. Griffith gave a solo, and was obliged to respond to an enthusiastic encore. Miss Sadie Higdon gave a recitation, which re- ceived much applause, as likewise did Mr. John J. McCann of Good Will Lodge. Brief addresses were delivered by G. G. Campbell of Good Will Lodge, James J. Hayre and others. An announcement was made of a Good Templar sermon to be preached members next Sunday at 8 p.m. at the Universalist Church, 13th and L streets northwest, by Rev. A. G. Rogers. a A Colored Bar Association. An organization, to be known as the Pro- fessional Legal Association, has been form- ed by the colored members of the District bar, and the following officers have been selected: John M. Langston, president; E. M. Hewlett, vice president; Reuben 8. Smith, recording and corresponding secre- tafy; RK. H. Terrell, treasurer; George M. Ambler, librarian. ‘The purpose of the members of the asso- ciation is to cultivate a more thorough union in*their calling, and to promote pro- fessional dignity and success. ——— An Enjoyable Entertainment. Wednesday evening the members and friends of St. James’ parish were treated to a very creditable performance by St. Ce- cilia’s Gufid-of the comic operetta entitled “Penelope,” an adaptation by Mr. Frank C. Walker, preceded by several tableaux. Those who took part in the operetta were Mr. H. L. Bryan, Mr. A. G. Prangley, Mr. G. W. Evans, Miss M. Mather, Miss G. Haslett. Mr. Evans was also stage manager. ‘The operetta gave great satisfaction, as Was evinced by the repeated applause of the audience, which comfortably filled the parish hall. The work of all was both conscientious and deserving. Owing to the large demand for tickets, which were complimentary, it was founda necessary to repeat the performance, so as to afford all the parishioners and their friends an opportunity to enjoy it. After the entertainment the hall was cleared and dancing followed, which completed an even- _dng already rendered most enjoyable. —_—»—__. Getting Information. “Billy’ Willlams, whose confession impli- cated a number of persons in the ferry company’s safe-blowing case, the burning of the steamer Lady of the Lake and the Proposed assassination of Sergt. Daley, was taken from jail yesterday afternoon and driven across the river to Jackson City. Deputy Marshal Springmann and Detec- tives Horne and Weedon accompanied rim. The officers went over there with Williams for the purpose of getting addi- tional evidence in the cases, and the offi- cers say that while over there Williams did not converse with any of the dive keepe: The information obtained related to th burning of the steamer. “Am Worth 4 Four beautiful five white enamel ads; parlor, library and dining room furniture, hall racks, side- boards, mattings, rugs, cottage furniture a large miscellaneous collection of shold effects will be sold at Sloan's, G street, tomorrow, at 10 a.m. Every- thing just as advertised; lunch to patrons at 12 m. nr Moving Time.

Episcopal Body Reached an Adjournment in ths Afternoon, St. Mark’s Difficulty Left to the Tender Mercies of the Court—Divid- ing the Funds. The Episcopal diocesan convention reach- ed an adjournment at the conclusion of the afternoon session yesterday, so that it was not necessary to hold an evening ses- sion, which had been anticipated in view of the importance of the questions which would come up before the convention for settlement. After the conclusion of the day’s work carriages were at the church to carry all the delegates to the handsome residence of Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith, on 16th street, where a reception was held in honor of Bishop Paret. The afternoon session passed off with much less friction than would have been expected, considering the character of two matters of business which were down on the program. One of these was the ques- tion of the division of the funds of the diccese between the two dioceses which will be formed by the division of the old diccese of Maryland. Some discusston was expected over the report of the special committee appointed to formulate a plan of division, but the plan which they sub- mitted was so much to the liking of the general body of delegates that the report was quickly adopted and by an almost unanimous vote. Division of Funds. The report was submitted by Dr. Hodges and was as follows: Resolved, That it is the recommenda- tion of this committee that the income- producing fund, the present episcopal fund of this diocese, be divided equally, and the accumulating episcopal fund divided equitably between the diocese of Balti- more and that of Washington; and that the present episcopal residence and library remain the property of the diocese of Bal- timore, without being taken into account. Resolved, That trom all the funds now held by this convention, or to which it may become entitled, there shall first be deducted such amount as shall be specif- ically designated by the donor, and these amounts shall be transferred to the dio- cese in which such objects are located, j and the remainder of such funds shall be divided between the diocese of Maryland and the diocese of Washington in the pro- portion of one-third to Washington and two-thirds to Maryland, and that this rule shall apply to the iegacy of Mrs. C. S. Kerl, and to any other funds to which the diccese may be become entitled up to the date when the general convention shall give its consent to the division of the dio- cese. St. Mark's Difficulty. The other matter which it was supposed would engender some feeling was the re- port of t®e committee on elections, to which were referred the credentials of all lay delegates, and which would consequent- ly have power to deal with the troubles in St. Mark’s Church of this city, which had sent up two lay delegates representing the two factions into which the church is split. The breeze did not materialize. The report was submitted in the morning hour and recommended the seating of Mr. Joseph B. Bennett. The report was not acted upon in the morning, and when it came up in the afternoon the secretary of the committee, Mr. Sams, said that all the points at issue in the church were soon to be submitted to the civil courts for a decision, and he recommended that the report be laid on the table. As any other action would have precipitated a long and possibly heated controversy on a warm afternoon, the convention eagerly snapped at a chance like this, and the report was tabled. The Committees. In the committee on diocesan missions J. R. Brackett and Samuel K. George were appointed to fill the vacancies created by the removal of Charles A. Taylor and J. M Glenn. Judge Hagner and R. W. Cator were re-elected members of the board of trustees of the episcopal fund. Daniel M. Thomas and R. Brent Keyser were ré-elected as members of the board of church charities. E. B. Rich was elect- ed a trustee of the Hannah Moore School. ‘The committee on canons reported against making any change in the constitution. - The reports of the tellers in the various elections showed that the following had been chosen: Standing committee—Rev. J. H. Eccle- ston, Rev. J. S. D. Hodges, Rev. W. S. Southgate, Rev. George C. Stokes, Rev. W. Dame and Rev. George Currie. Deputies to the general conventfon—Cleri- cal—Rev. J. H. Eccleston, D.

Bartlett. Diocesan Missions. During the afternoon the convention found itself so far ahead of its program that it was decided to go on with the sub- ject of diocesan missions, which was down as the topic of the evening session. The report of the board of diocesan missions was submitted by the chairman, Arch- {shop Gambrall of Annapolis, and recom- mended the subdivision of large parishes and the creation of new parishes. The financial features of the report were that out of $14,000 appropriated for the board last year there had been receiyed $11,253, out of which $1,500 had been appropriated for the salary of the general missionary. Much more money, he said, could well have been spent without yet reaching the limits of the field spread out before the board. He asked, however, that at least $14,000 should be appropriated to the work during the coming year. When this matter was put to a vote it was granted without dis- cussion. The committee further recom- mended that the returns of the various parishes during the coming year be made direct to the mission board without refer- ence to the coming division of the diocese and the distribution of this money be left to the mission board till next June, when the division would have been completed. The committee on religious instruction presented a report asking to be discharged and its work turned over to the board of missions, by whom the work could be done just as well. A new committee was nominated, con- sisting of Rev. Mr. Purcell, Rev. C. Ever- ett Smith, Rev. F. Clampitt and Rev. C. C. Griffith. The lay members of the com- mittee were Messrs. P. C. Williams, Jos. O. Foard, J. T. Mason of R, and Edward Higgins. The ticket was clected without discussion. Closing Exercises. Mr. Packhard mcved a vote of thanks to the rector and the vestry of the Church of the Epiphany and to the committee on hospitality by whom the convention had been entertained. An appropriation of $50 was made, as is the custom of the convention, to comp2! sate the sexton of the church and others who had labored for the convenience of the visitors. The next place of meeting was fixed as Emanuel Church, Baltimore. Short devotional exercises, conducted by the bishop, brought the convention to a close, and the delegates were dismisse with the benediction. The New Diocese. announced the following Re The proposed new diocese of Washington will contain 41 parishes, with 74 churches and chapels in all, and 9,528 communi- eants. The parishes in Washington are as follows: Ascension, 650 communicants; Saint Thomas’ parish, Calvary Church, with 290 communicarts; cluding the chapel, Epiphany parish, in- ,006; Grace Church, Washington, communicants; In- varnation, . Andrew's, 508; St. James’, 238; St. John’s, 1023; St. Mark's, 244; St. Michael's and All Angels’, —; St. Luke’s, 312; St. Paul's, 556; Trinity, 391; Washington (Christ Church), 391; Christ Church, Georgetown, 345; Grace, George- town, 105; Georgetown (St. John’s Church, the three parishes of St. Thomas, Epiphany and Grace, Washington, were omitted. Se AMUSEMENTS. Prof. Pearman’s Concert.—The concert which is to be given under the direction of Prof. T. Williams-Pearman, at the Church of Our Father, corner 13th and L streets northwest, this evening, will be one of the musical events of the late season. A num- ber of prominent soloists will assist Prof. Pearman, who will sing three numbers him- self during the course of the program. Those who will render numbers in the even- ing’s entertainment are Dr. J. W. Bischoff, Miss Anita Cluss, Mrs. Kitty Thompson- Berry, Miss Jennie Vivien Kerr, Miss Mary Scott Lockhart, Miss Edna Scott Smith, Miss Roberta Allen and Mrs, C. B. Rheem. All are well known, and a program con- tributed by such musicians as these cannot fail to please. Prof. Sheldon’s May Ball.—Prof. Sheldon will probably have one of the most suc- cessful may balls of the season at Metze- rott Hall tonight. He has promised a num- ber of new eifects and new dances, and everything is in readiness for the affair. In conjunction with the may ball the operetta of “Cinderella” will be given by the same children who so successfully rendered it a short time ago. This little operetta gives excellext chances for some very pretty ef- fects and some very catchy dances, and Prof. Sheldon intends to improve every op- portunity in that line. Tickets are now on sale at Metzerott’s, and already a number have been sold in advance. “Oak Lawn” Fete.—A lawn fete, under the auspices of the various Episcopal churches of the city, will be given tomor- row afternoon from 5 to 8 o'clock, at “Oak Lawn,” the beautiful grounds of Mrs. E. C. Deane, at the head of Connecticut avenue. ‘The lawn fete is for the benefit of St. Mar- garet's Church, and as the place where it will be held {s ideal for an affair of this character, it should be an entire success. The music for the occasion will be furnish- e¢ by the Artillery Band from the arsenal, and by the Georgetown Banjo and Mando- lin Club. Supper and refreshments will be served on the grounds. The committee of ladies having the affair in charge have been hard at work preparing for it, and are confident that it will be an entire success in every way. Prof. Lawrence's Organ Recital.—Much interest is centering in the organ recital of Prof. John Porter Lawrence at the Waugh M. E- Church, corner 3d and A streets northeast, this evening at 8 o'clock. Prof. Lawrence is well known as a pianist and organist of unusual merit, and the music which he will render at this evening’s re- cital will show off his ability to the best of advantage. The organ at this church will be made to give out everything that it is capable of, and there is no doubt that it will be an unusually successful recital. A Musical Festival.—There will be a grand musical festival, and “A Day at. the World's Fair,” at Convention Hall, June 6 and 7. It will be participated in by Innes’ famous band, and a number of distinguish- ed instrumental and vocal soloists, and an event of more than the usual amount of Interest is promised. A number of special details will be used in the productions, in- cluding fireworks, electric artillery, scenic pictures, National Guard companies, vete- rans and drum and fife corps, making a most realistic addition to the music. Among those who are in the corps of soloists are Miss Martha Garrison Miner, soprano; Miss Annie M. Weed, dramatic ‘soprano; Miss Katherine MacNeil, contralto; Miss’ Marie J, Wichman, contralto; Mr.’ William A. Xanten, tenor; Mr. C. C. Ferguson, tenor Mr. Ethan Allen, basso, and Mr. Franklin ¥. Sefton, basso. _The White Crook Company.—The attrac- tion at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater next week will be the White Crook Extrava- ganza Company, supplemented by a series of boxing contests. The White Crook ur- ganization is composed of a number of well-krown burlesque stars and high-class specialty artists, included among whom are Miss Pearl Bradburn, the charming vocal- ist; Geo. Kerr, the inimitable musical com- edian; Sanford and Lee, singers 4nd come- dians; Lamont and Love, in their original novelty act; Willard and Brown, the little ginger girls: Emma Rosa Lee, the dainty soubrette; Ward and Leslie, refined sketch artists; and Lena Le Couvier, in a reper- toire of popular songs. A feature of the performance will be the original burlesque entitled “The White Crook,” introducing a coterle of pretty girls In natty costumes. Next Monday evening will mark the open- ing of the summer garden, in which a va- riety entertainment will be given after the regular performance in the theater. A more delighiful spot for an hour's amusement cannot be Imagined. oS WINE HOUSES Caused the Row on the Brightwood Electric Cars. In Judge Miller's court this morning the case of the three young men, Joseph Mc- Ermey, George Faulkner and Frank Wilson, charged with an asaulst on Michael O'Brien, was tried. O'Brien was motorman and con- ductor on one of the cars on the Soldiers’ Home branch of the Brightwood railroad Sunday night, and the young men, who had been spending the afternoon at one of the ‘wine houses,” were pasengers on the car. There was evidence to the effect that two of the men showed plainly the result of wine drinking. One of the men wanted the window open, but the man in charge of the car objected, as he said, because of the dilapidated con- dition of the window. The trouble followed, and several persons had scars and bruises as evidence of the combat. O'Brien used his brake handle and struck the wrong man, and for this Judge Miller fined him $20 two days ago. During the trial of the case the men told of their visit to the “wine house,” and one of them said he was not yet twenty-one years old. Judge Miller spoke of the demoralizing influence of the drinking places in the coun- ty, and said he thought this matter was ended some time ago. Months ago, he said, intoxicated people from ‘wine houses” and “speak easies” made electric car traveling uncomfortable, and this, he sald, is the first trouble of the kind for several months. The three defendants were fined $25 or sixty days each. ——_—-.—_ Stcamer Macalester to Marshall Hall and Indian Head, Friday and Saturday even- ings at 6:30 o’clock.—Advt. a He Strack Him.

Commencemest: exercises of the musical, theological gmd normal depart- ments have already deen held, and last night the college department proper had its twenty-fourth annyiai commencement in the Andrew Rankin Mgmorial Chapel. For the first time in the bfstery of the univer- sity the degree of baghdlor of science was last night conferred, My Grant Lucas and Jesse E. Tucker beingithe graduates who gained the distinctiog.. William E. Ben- son, Elmer C. Campbell; Corinne L. Gibson and Mary L. Jones were awarded the de- gree of bachelor of arta. WilHam E. Ben- son, Elmer C. Campbell and Mary L. Jones delivered class orations. Mr. B. K. Bruce made the address to the graduates. Rev. Dr. Rankin, the president of the uni- versity, is indignant over the arrest of six young graduates Wednesday night,charged with disturbing the peace by giving the col- lege yell, as stated in yesterday's Star. These young men _ were arraigned in the Police Court yesterday before Judge Kim- ball, who was inclined to be lenient, and suspended sentence, as he was unwilling they should start out in life under a cloud. Dr. Rankin gave vent to his feelings in the address he made last night during the com- mencement exercises. He said that there was not in any city in the country a class of students so well behaved as those of Howard University, and characterized the arrest of graduates for giving the college ery and singing an old plantation melody as a grievous mistake on the part of the authorities. There was no attempt on the part of the young men, said the doctor, to paint the town red; they were simply giv- ing expression to their naturally joyous spirits at having successfully finished a hard year’s work. ‘There are sounds with- in the neighborhood of this university,” continued Dr. Rankin, ‘and in close ‘con- tiguity with the Freedman’s Hospital, where hundreds of patients are annually treated, which are a disturbance of the public peace. If the policeman is so anx- lous for quiet, let him address himself to the suppression of those thunders which daily come up from the National Park to the annoyance of not less than three to ten thousand honest citizens, and hundreds of sick patients. The singing of six young men along the public streets as compared with this is as the guttural of a bull-frog to the shout of a locomotive.” The doctor admitted that the students had been guilty of a momentary indiscre- tion, but thought that a word of caution from the policeman would have been all that was necessary to restore quiet and order. ———.__ Steamer Macalester to Marshall Hall and Indian Head, Friday and Saturday even- ings at 6:30 o’clock.—Advt.
