About nine months after their marriage her husband, she charged, commenced to ill-treat and as- sault her, and that he subsequently drank to excess. In September, 1892, she alleged, the defendant cruelly and _ brutally as- Sauited her, threatening to kill her. A petition for divorce has been filed by George W. Cartwright against Maria Cart- wright. The papers in the case were with- held from publication. ———.__. Statixticnl Association.

Bas- sett—Large Demonstration in Honor of the Dead Siatesman. The demonstration last evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on M street, in memory of the late Frederick Douglass, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary Association, in magnitude and fervor sur- passe any yet made. The vast guilding was filled with a tremendous outpouring of friends and admirers of Mr. Douglass. Justice Harlan presided, and there sat with him on the platform Mr. George C. Gor- ham, Mr. John F. Cook, Dr. Reyburn, Rev. Dr. Jenifer, Dr. W. H. Brooks, ex-Senator D. K. Bruce, Rev. Dr. Grimke, Prof. Miller, ex-Representative John R. Lynch, Rey. Dr. Stevenson, Prof. Cromwell and Mr. R. 8S. Smith, the president of the association. The pulpit was tastefully decorated with flowers, and a large portrait of Mr. Doug- lass, surrounded by floral decorations, hung fn a conspicuous position. The music of the evening was furnished by the choir of the church, led by Prof. Layton, the Am- phion Club and the Douglass Memorial Jubilee Singers, under the leadership of Miss Lucinda Vance. Prof. Harris opened the exercises of the evening with an organ voluntary President Smith introduced Justice Har- lan in a brief address, which felicitously expressed the gratification that the colored race feel in having such an able and gen- erous-hearted friend as Justice Harlan as always been to them. He alluded to the long friendship that had _exi: between Mr. Douglass and Judge Harlan, and said that Mr. Douglass once remarked to -him that he loved Justice Harlan for his deci- sion on the civil rights bill, and hoped that he would one day be President of the Unit- ed States. Judge Harlan, in taking the chair, ac- knowledged the respect shown him, and in the course of his remarks sald: “I accept without hesitation the invitation to preside meeting, ang the more because I ays glad of an opportunity to testify to my respect for the memory of the dis- tinguished man whom we honor here to- night. & man great in his physical man- hood, but still greater In his mental and moral organization. I do not hesitate to say that among the orators that this coun- try has produced there was no greater than Frederick Douglass, and in all my long enjoyment of his acquaintance I never met a man of loftier character.” Prof. J. W. Cromwell read a resolution paying a tribute of respect to the memory of Mr. Douglass, which was unanimously adopted. The orator of the evening; Mr. E. D. Bas- sett of Philgdelphia, who was minister to Hayti during Gen. Grant's administration, and a life-long friend of Mr. Douglass, was then introduced. His address was a thoughtful delineation of the charactor of Mr. Douglass, replete with valuable per- sonal reminiscences, and abounding in warm, sincere and earnest appreciation of the dead statesman’s great character and splendid service in behalf of his race. mel zi USE OF PARKING. A Test Case Comes Up on Writ of Certiorari. A petition for a writ of certiorari was filed yesterday by Messrs. Frank Libbey and Benjamin Miller, dealers in lumber at 6th street and New York avenue. They state that they have been summoned to answer in the Police Court a charge of oc- cupying certain public property for private purposes, viz., the parking on said street and avenue, for the storing of lumber and otker building material, in violation of an ordinance of the late corporation of Wash- ington, approved November 22, 1862, under a penalty of not more than $50 nor less than $25 a day. The firm contends that their occupancy is not a permanent one, and that the park- ing space referred to is wholly unimproved and is not required at present for the pur- pose for which it was reserved. The oc- cupancy is essential to the prosecution of the business of the firm, and ts not, they say, an obstruction to the public highways. As the case has been selected as a test one, the petitioners pray that the case be heard in the District Supreme Court, as there is no right of appeal in the Police Court. The petition was presented to Judge Bradley, who directed that the writ issue forthwith, returnable before him. —_ Benning Citizens. The Benning Citizens’ Association was called to onler by Vice President Mew- shaw at 8:30 o’clock last evening, and after minutes of last meeting had been read and spproved the road committee reported having seen the proper authorities, and if the association would recommend that a suitable fence be built along the Anacostia road for a distance of aLout 150 feet op- pesite the Sheriff crossing the sama would probably be attended to at onse. It was 60 ordered. The committee on entertainment reported through Mr. France. The chairman of the railroad committee was reported to have neglected his duty for several months, and, on inotion, e office was declared vacant, and the chair- man was authcrized to appoint a man to serve in his stead. The secretary-treasurer of the Union for rted that the topic for discussion this month would be “Public Sanitation,” and on motion the evening of June 25 was set aside for discussion of the subject. Under head of new business the Rev. Mr. H. B. Leech was unanimously elected to membership in the association, and after several small matters were disposed of the meeting adjourned. ——— Transfers of Renl Estate.

The residents in the neighborhood of 11th and P streets were awakened this morning shortly before 3 o'clock by a quartet of females shouting fire. A moment later an alarm was turned in from box 236. In the meantime, the sky was illumined, and the flames could be seen for miles around. When the fire department arrived It was discovered that the fire originated in the shed in the rear of 1503 11th street, occu- pied by Edgar C. Y: . A quantity of furniture was stored In this shed, and made good material for the flames. The fire raged so fiercely that the windows of 1013 et, occupied by Miss H. W. Tolson, burst with the heat and went tumbling in. In an instant window frames had caught and th spread to an adjoining shed. Chief Parris and Assistant Chief Lowe managed the fire, and succeeded in confining it to the place of origin. The loss will reach $1,000, Special Train Service vin B. and 0. R. R.

Frederic Bond and Company.—The sixth week of the comedy season at the Grand Opera House, which was inaugurated on Monday evening, has demonstrated the popularity of that excellent organization by a succession of large and well pleased audiences at every performance. The farce, ‘My Wife's Mother,” is hugely funny, and keeps the audience in one constant roar from the rise to the fall of the curtain. ‘The already well balanced company has been largely strengthened by the appear- ance of Miss Blanche Walsh as leading lady. For the seventh week of the season, beginning next Monday, the company will present the success of the past two comedy seasons, “My Awful Dad.” The curtain raiser will be “Romec’s First Love,” in which Miss Blanche Walsh will play Romeo. Seats will be on sale tomorrow morning. St. Paul’s Lawn Party.—A lawn party and festival in aid of St. Paul's Catholic Church will be held on the evenings of June 4, 5, 6 and 7, in the grounds adjoin- ing the rectory, which is situated on V street between 14th and 15th streets north- west. Music will be on hand and every- thing has been prepared to give the guests a very enjoyable evening. The School Concerts.—More than the or- dinary amount of interest is being mani- fested in the coming concerts by the school children, which are to be given tomor- row and Friday evenings, the graded schools tomorrow evening and the high schools Friday evenirg. Both choruses will consist of 3) voices, under the leadership of Mr. Tomlins of Chicago, and the little ones have attained a wonderful state of proficienc; The older chorus is also show- & up well, and a most enjoyable musical rogram is promised both evenings. Miss Maude Powell, violinist; the Apolio Quar- tet, and Mrs. Ernest Lent, accompanist, will assist in the concerts. Inn Band Concerts.—The “Day at the Wo air,” which will be presented in 1 with the “War and Peace,” by dat Convention. Hall tomorrow and Friday afternoons and evenings, is a most interesting production. The “War and Peace” allegory is well known to this city, as it was presented here last year, but the former is entirely new and presented here for ihe first time. It is, as its name implies, a musical spectacle devoted to enes and incidents conspicuously Iden- ified with the more prominent features of the White City and the famous Colum- an exposition. It will be rendered by his great nd, eight vocal artists, the artil- -ampaniment, military companies, ns, KuNNers, and a corps of pyro- One of the features will be the reproduction of some of the ‘““Midway” cho- ruses. Stephen's Choir Entertainment.—The nment given by the choir of Stephen’s Church in Parish Hall, Mt. Plea: ant, last night, was a declded success. The pregram opened with a little speech by the Rey. George F. Dudley, !n which he thank- ed the people for their kind attendance on such a warm evening. The program in- ded “Farewell to the Forest” and “May Day,” by the choir; a piano duet, Inter- mezzo, from “Sylvia,” by Mrs. E. M. Me- Leod and Mr. C. G. Woodward; a soprano solo, “Love's Old Svreet Song," by Mast: Henry Tallmage; selections by the Colum- bia He'ghts Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Club; an octet, composed of the Messrs.

McLeod, which sang “Lift Thine Eyes,” and a soprano solo, “Good Night, Sweet Dreams,” by Miss Bessle Mitchell. The Waterbury Brothers of this city closed a very successful season with the George Dickson Vaudeville Company on May 11 at Louisville, Ky. They then play- td three weeks in Chicago, and after going over the Kieth circuit will return here for the summer. The regular monthly engagement of the “Washington Amateur Dramatic Company” at Soldiers’ Home will be next Friday, when it is expected that friends of the home and the dramatic company will be present. The program prepared for this entertainment {s a modern minstrel per- formance, with the following in the cast: Mr. J. 8.’ Wall, Mr. ©. B. Wilkins, Mr. G. S. Meloy, Mr. W. M. Shuster, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Sallade and Mr. R. W. Test, manager. Mr. Gloetzner’s recital.—The pupils of Mr. Anton Gloetzner were greeted by a large and appreciative audience at the Universal- ist Church last evening on the occasion of his annual plano recital. The selections given were all of a high grade and their interpretation evidenced the result of care- ful study, assiduous practice and intelli- gent training. The performers were Misses Marie Edna Rowell, Helen Goldschmid, Alice Slater, Agnes Alden, Helen Lyon, Virginia Bestor, Sigsbee and Freyhold. The numbers included the Handel-Riemann G minor concerto, Mozart's C major fantasie, Haydn’s rondo in G major, Tschatkow sky's carnival and un poco di Schumann, harwenka’s scherzo in B minor, Mo: chele’s second concerto in E flat, first move- ment, Max Reger’s walzer capricen for four hands, Mendelssohn's presto scherz- ando in F sharp minor, Chopin’s prelude in prelude and foufth ballade, Gloetzner’s allegro strepitoso in B minor and Liszt’s concerto pathetique for two pianos, which was played by Miss Freyhold and Mr. Gloetzner.

The Star has received of Mrs. Elizabeth Ress $1.70, proceeds of a fair given by several little girls in Le Droit Park for the benefit of the Children’s Country Home. —_._—_ Congress and the Government Print- ing Office. To the Editor of The Evening Star: There is one phase of the matter to which attenticn skould be called at this stage of the discussion over civil service in the government printing office—the ques- tion of jurisdicticn, The President of the United States, when he appointed the pub- lic printer, ard his nominee was con- firmed, exhausted his authority over the public printing office. The control of that office is a divided one; Congress, by its joint committee on printing, shares in the management of it, and until that commit- tee approves of the contemplated change its legality is open to very grave question, to say the least. The public printing o: fice is virtually an anrex of the Capitol; Congress has always claimed its authority over the public printing as absolute, to be enforced when it saw fit to do so in the furtherance of legislation. AJL the laws in relation to that bureau and the debates over measures affecting it conclusively show this to be the case. This being the fact, it would seem to he wise to defer the settlement of the question till such settle- ment can be mad@ d@efirite and permanent, otherwise much trouble may result from too hasty action.

Two Lively Debates on the €hildren’s Summer Home and the Co- Operation of €hurches. At the afternoon sessiqn of. the convoca- tion of Washington yesterday some im- portant matters of business were trans- acted, including the election of officers to serve for the coming year. All the old officers were re-elected; follows: Rev. T. S. Childs, archdeacon; Rev. Arthur Johns, secretary; Mr. Seymour Tulloch, treasurer. The sessions yesterday were enlivened by a couple of discussions that were unex- pectedly lively and breezy. One came up as a-result of the report read by the arch- deacon, and the other followed an address on the subject of co-operation between city-ard rural churches in advancing the work of the diocese. Summer Home for Poor Children. In the course of his report Archdeacon Childs referred to the subject of a summer home for poor children as one upon which the bishop desired the convocation to be informed. According to the statement of the archdeacon the Society of the Kirfg’s Daughters has been made the recipient of a gift of two acres of land at Colonial Beach to be used for the erection of a summer home for the children of the slums and tenements. Prof. Alexander Melville Beil. the donor of the land, has also given the society $450, and $100 more has been received from the rectcr and Sunday school of St. John’s Church. Although no formal motion was made an earnest appeal was made to the members to contribute to the charity, either in the form of money or household fittings, as the home was to have been opened this summer in a*small way, slthough it was hoped that much gcod might be done. ‘The work of preparing the place for occu- pancy has already been undertaken, under the direction of Mrs, W. G. Davenport, wife of the rector of the Anacostia Church. Dr. Addison sprung something of a sur- prise on the convocation by attacking the whole scheme and criticising the motives which were behind the gift of the land. He characterized it as a real estate trick intended to bolster up a collapsed land boom. He spoke of the place as hot and unhealthy, and said that one of his parish- ioners had died as a result of typhoid con- tracted there. Dr. Davenport took the op- posite ground, and said that his experience had been that the place was healthy and desirable in every way, and that his wife had once gone there when threatened with typhoid, and had entirely recovered as a result of her stay. Several other ministers took part in the discussion, those who favored the establishment of a home at this point holding that while the place might not be the most desirable one in the world it was still a great thing to have some such place where the little wretches of the alleys could have a brief breathing spell in the open air and under green trees. If the donor of the ground should reap any outside benefit from the gift they thought the church might welb overlook thet fact. The whole matter wag! left there, as there was no motion before the gathering calling for definite action. Co-Operation Ameag the Churches. At the evening session Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith made an address on co-operation among the churches, and how the benefits that would accrue from this might best be obtained. It was followed by a debate, which evidencéd the fact that there is some feeling among: the people of St. Thomas’ Church at the establishment of a new church so near!them. St. Thomas’ is at the corner. of Madison and 18th streets, and the proposed Church of St. Agnes is to be erected on Connecticut ave- nue just beyond Florida avenue. Rev. Dr. Aspinwall, rector of St) Thomas, express- ed the epinion that theré was:no occasion for another church s@ near. the present one, and that it would do injury to St. Thomas, which has started the erection of a new edifice that will be amply large to accommodate all that section of the city. Dr. Howell, the recter of the new church, was not present, and Rev. A. R. Stuart cf Christ Church, Georgetown, teok the posi- tion that a new chur:h would be a blessing rather than a detriment, and pointed out that the presence of two churches in Georgetown had proved mutually beneficial. The debate at times became quite pointed, but the archdeacon, who presided, man- aged to steer the discussion off before it had gone too far. Several other ministers took part in the diseussion, which brought the evening to a close. SS A Carlond of Granite Ware. A representative of Woodward & Loth- rop's has just returned from New York, where he was sent to attend the auction sale of the St, Louis Stamping Company, held May 31, ‘at Bissell & Sons’ auction rooms. Their purchase was a carload of the celebrated granite iron ware, and it is suid to be one of the largest purchases of the kind ever made by any retail house in the country. Their double-column adver- tisement today will give the particulars of the purchase, and the prices, which are about half those usually asked for the same goods. This is an opportunity for proprietors of hotels and housekeepers to eccnomize. Peerereerrrrrerrrrn a oa ee Others Failed Hood’s Cured Mr. C. S. Groby is a well-known resident of Dayton, O., and a prominent member of the K. of P. He says: “I had two severe attacks of inflamma- tory rheumatism. I tried three of our home physicians, but realized scarcely any relief. I took medicines faithfully, but was unable to see any improvement. I then visited a specialist, pafd him $50, but he did me no good. I was then ad- vised to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. I did so and before I stopped I bad taken 15 bot- tles, a bottle just lasting me one month, us I took it very regularly, three -times a day at meal times.
