The president of the International May- brick Association has asked Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens to receive subscriptions In this city toward the expenses incurred in se- curing a rehearing of the case. Mrs. Ha- vens, speaking of the case today, said: “Lord Russell, now lord chief justice of England, believes Mrs. Maybrick entirely innocent, but the home secretary has stub- bornly refused all appeals for a review of the case, and the submission of new and conclusive evidence, and England has no court of criminal appeal. If an English lady of refinement had remained In penal servitude in an American prison for six years on an unproved charge the patriotic rage of England would have known no Hmit. Americans, with a few noble excep- ticns, have been singularly indifferent to the fate of their countrywoman in Eng- land until recently. Among the members of the Maybrick committee are Mrs. Chas. Henrotin, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Dr. Helen Dens- more is president.

DR WHITMAN'S STRONG ADDRESS Baron Fava Speaks and Praises This Country. AMONG THE GUESTS The celebration of the great Italian holl- day was brought to a fitting close last even- ing by a banquet given by the Societa Unione e Fratellanza Italiaua of Washington to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the unification of Italy. The banquet was held at Freund’s Hall, and over 200 people sat down about the long tables. Many of the members were accom- panied by their wives, so that there was quite a sprinkling of.Italian beauty among the dark-haired men. It was an occasion of the utmost interest and enthusiasm. The members of the Italian colony, who were naturally aroused by the exercises of the day which had preceded it, enjoyed the ban- quet to the fullest extent, and not less the speeches which were made, and whic were particularly appropriate to the occasion. The committee in charge of the entertain- ment consisted of Messrs. F. Sanfelippo, F. 8. Gulli, M. Lauremzi, V. Giovanetti and G. Arancio. The guests of honor on this occa- sion were the Italian ambassador, Baron Fava; President Whitman of the Columbian University, Prof. Fava of the university, Prof. Charles E. Munroe, dean of the Corco- ran Scientific School, and representatives of the Garibaldi Society of this city, the Italian Society Unione e Fratellanza of Raltimore, the Crispi Society of Baltimore, the Cristo- foro Colombo Society of Baltimore and of the Croce Bianca and the Stella d'Italia newspapers. One of Many. The Washington celekration was but one of half a hundred held in different cities in the ccuntry, and while smaller than some, yet it had a national importance from the fact of tts being held at the cap- ital under the presidency of the Italian am- bassador. The chief speech of the evening was made by President Whitman, the new head of the Columbian University, who was invited as a typical and representative American, and, as one of the guests ex- pressed it, if he had been an Italian he could not have spoken more truly the thoughts that animated their breasts on the oceasion of such an anniversar: Owing to the fact that Baron Fava was obliged to leave early in the evening for New York to participate in the celebration in that city today, speech-making was begun soon after the banquet got under headway. In commencing the toas' Baron Fava made an eloquent addres: in Italian, referring to the momentous events in the history which they were celebrating, the entry into Rome and the unification of Italy. He greeted the two flags which hung above them, the stars and stripes and the flag of Italy, and he re- minded the gathering of the fact that the United States was one of the first of the nations to recognize the independence of Italy. In conclusion, he introduced Dr. Whitman and Prof. Munroe, and they were greeted witn cheers by the guests. Dr. Whitman's Address. It was one of the first occasions that Dr. Whitman has appeared In this city as a speaker under such circumstances, but he proved last evening that he is an orator of the first rank, and again and again during the course of his address the guests were roused to the highest pitch of enthusiasm by his references to their native land, and its future in the history of nations. Dr. Whitman said tnat he came with the ut- mcst heartiness and good will to express the feelings of himself and his fellow Amer- icens toward the members of the society and their guests on such an occasion as the cne they were celebrating. He spoke of the Fart that this country took in recognizing the unification of Italy, and said that na- ticrs are strong, just as men are strong, when they are able to recognize greatness in others. He said that the time is long past when there might be a world-wide em- pire in the old sense, but there is a chance for a unity and great brotherhood of na- tions in trust and service. Italy unified, he said, was Italy born again, and in her uni- fication Italy discovered herself. The Press Honored. At the conclusion of Dr.Whitman’s speech, and before he left, Baron Fava spoke a few werds of thanks to Dr. Whitman, and then expressed his gratitude’ to the newspapers of the capital which had sent representa- tives to the various ceremonies, and had re- perted the proceedings so extensively and in such a friendly spirit. In conclusion he called for a standing toast to the press of the capital ard of the United States. Among the Guests. The Yemainder of the evening was spent in the enjoyment of the banquet itself and of the general good fellowship that pre- vailed. There was music by an orchestra throughout the evening, and at the conclu- sicn of the banquet Mrs. F. Allen sang two songs In a delightful manner. Among the guests of the evening were Prof. Fava, Mrs. and Miss Velau, Mrs. Bregazzi, Mr. and Mrs. F. Allen, Mr. An- gelo Ghiselli, presidert of the Unione e Fratellanza of Washington; Mr. Salvatore Desio, vice president; Mr. F. P.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTIC CITY, N September 19, 1895. Atlantic City was enlivened this week by the presence of thousands of Odd Fellows in attendance and as visitors to the Sover- eign Grand Locge, whose seSsions were held in the large pavilion on the pier. The Washington delegation, including repre- sentatives from the District Grand Lodge, were quartered at the Ashhourne. Canton Potomac Drum and Bugle Corps were also at this house, and during their stay were photographed in a group. This is what the Datly Press says of the boys: “The Daily Press was tendered a_sere- nade by the Drum and Bugle Corps of Can- ton Potomac, I. O. O. F., Washington, D. C. The corps is composed of boys from nine to fourteen years of age and their music is of a high-class order. The boys are thor- oughly drilled, and with their natty uni- forms made a fine appearance in the pa- rade. They left for their home yesterday, and on their way to the station stopped to say good-bye and serenaded the Press. The compliment fs duly appreciated.” —_—>——_ Dr. Shade’s chloridum discovery for con- sumption and all diseases of the throat and air passages, producing marvelous cures.

It was proposed to hold last evening in Green’s Hall, Pennsylvania avenue near lith street, a meeting of those favoring suffrage in the District. But either the weather was too warm or those favoring suffrage here were too few, for immediately after Dr. Robert Reyburn, the president of the District Suffrage Association, had called those present to order, a motion to adjourn until the first Friday in next month was unanimously adopted. Not more than fifty men were present, and but three of them were white men. Before declaring the motion ‘o adjourn adopted, Dr. Reyburn announced that the cause of suffrage was making very gratify- ing headway here. He explained that it should be kept entirely free from entangle- ment with any one party, and he sald that while neither of the great parties had openly indorsed suffrage here in their na- tional conventions, neither had dared to openly oppose it. No argument in favor of it was necessary, for the justice of the cause was too apparent Then, after the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and approved, and a letter read from A. G. Riddle, accepting an invitation to address the association, the meeting was declared adjourned. Previous to the ineeiing of the general association last evening, the Sixth District Suffrage Club held a meeting for the elec- tion of permanent officers. But seven mem- bers were present, and as only four offices were filled three of those present were dis- appointed. The election resulted as fol- lows: President, Nathan Addison; vice pres- ident, Jerry Matthews; secretary, William Ross, and treasurer, James Parker. ——.— SECRETS OF LOW PRICES. Quick Sales and Small Profits Insure a Luerative Trade. It is not the fair sex alone that watches the changes in the fashions and hurries to get in line with the prevailing styles. Great, big, strong men, who would give one the impression from a superficial glance that shey cared for nothing but business and the material things of life are just as particu- lar about the proper thing to wear as their sisters, cousins and aunts. The warm spell has delayed them somewhat in their selec- tions of fall toggery, but at the same time it has given the merchants, who purvey to that class of trade, an opportunity to get their stocks on their tables, and to display them in the most attractive manner possi- tle. A Star reporter walking up the street this morning dropped into Mertz and Mertz’s, where a big force of clerks and helpers were completing the arrangements of the new and enlarged interior. “We hav> made preparations for a big fal! trade,” sald Mr. George L. Mertz, “and are confident, with our Increased facilities, that our expectations in that direction will be fully realized. “You see, the public has become assured of the fact that there is no sense on its part in paying two or three prices for -well- made clothes—made to measure and guar- anteed to sult customers. The secret of low- priced tafloring lies in the buying of wool- ens on a large scale and the quick manu- facture of the stock. It Is merely the turn- ing over of invested money rapidly, and in letting the public know what you are doing by well-directed advertising. We have many fabrics that we would lose money on if they were kept In stock from one sea- on to another, because they would repre- sent so much capital lying Idle. By being satisfied with small profits, we are enabled to make quicker and more numerous sales. There is no difficulty in making clothes to order at prices within everybody's reach if you only know these things and conduct the business accordingly. Some idea of the extent our trade is expected to reach may be gained from the fact that we will offer over 2,00) styles to select from during the approaching season —_——.__ Epworth League. Rev. Robt. R. Doherty of New York ad- ressed a meeting of the Epworth League last evening at the Hamline M. E. Church. His tonic was the “Literary Possibilities of the League,” and he pleaded for exer- cises that would tend to enlarge the at- tendance and add to the interest in the educational meetings. Rev. A. Osborne, register of the Americia University, dweit upon the close relations of the league to that institution, being of equal importance to the Methodist church. A solo was ren- dered by Miss Ella Lowdermilk of the North Capitol Street Church. Prof. C. M. L. Sites read a letter from Chaplain “Mc- secretary of the Methodist Mission Society at Rome, showing that the chucch has now a strong hold in the eternal city having now a building after long struggles. Resolutions were adopted expressing the gratitude felt by the league toward Rev. Dr. Wm. Burt, who is In charge of the Rome mission, for his efforts to build up the werk there, Arraignments Today. The following arraignments took place before Judge Cole, in Criminal Court No. 1, today: Isaac Brown, larceny from the person; Joseph Miller, do.; David Tibbs, assault with intent to kill; William Snow- den, do.; James Adams, second offense of petty larceny; George Bailey, do.; Edward Marks, larceny; Uley Brown,embezziement; ‘riah Harrison, James Gordon and Walter Scott, housebreaking. Every one of the ac- cused parties pleaded not guilty, and were remanded to jail, for trial next month. Frank Pear, charged with stealing $75, a coat and pair of shoes from the bar room uf the steamboat Charles Macalester on the 27th of last June, pleaded guilty, and Judge Cola sentenced him to three years’ hard labor in the Albany penitentiary. Pear, a yourg colored man, had been em- ployed on the boat as a coal heaver for about a month, and obtained the money and goods by breaking into the room while the boat lay at her wharf here. —_s—__ Could Not Re Tried. Several days ago a tough-looking old white woman, who makes her headquarters about the “camp,” where she goes by the name of Mary Loving, charged a colored man with m«king an outrageous assault upon her. The case against him was dis- missed in the Police Court. This morning Mary was herself a defend- ant on the charge of vagrancy. When she was arrested, she was very drunk, and her jax was of such mammoth dimensions that she could hardly stand in the dock today. Her crazy old straw lat tipped forward in a drunken manner, her limbs shook as with the palsy, and, altogether, she was a most pitiful travesty on womanhood. Judge Kimball refused to try her while she was in such a condition, and continued the case until Monday, in order to give her a chance to get sober. ——___ Youthful Prisoners. Hermann Hyle, a little eight-year-old white boy, was the defendant in the Police Court this morning, on the serious charge of disorderly coaduct. Hermann was on 2ith street yesterday with some other boys of his own age, and was engaged in the ever-popular game of “playing policeman,” when & real police- mar, M. F. Colbert, raided the party and picked out Hermann for arrest. Mrs. Hyle attempted to tell Judge Kimball that the trouble all arose from the fact that #ol- bert 1s down on her family, and makes it unpleasant for them whenever he gets a chance. Judge Kimball would not let her tell her story, however, and he fined Her- mann a dollar, so that as long as that little fellow lives he will bear the odium of hav- ing once been convicted in the Police Court. ——————— Admitted to Probate. Upon the petition of Benj. P. Snyder and Mahlon Ashford, the will of the late Anna Walcott, who died last August at Almo, Mich., has been admitted to probate, the personalty being valued at $82,000. Letters testamentary were issued to the petition- ers. ——.__. Died Suddenly. An aged colored woman named Julia Purcell, who was formerly well known in Georgetown as a hair dresser, died sud- denly last evening at her home on 82d street near Cherry street, her demise, it is thought, being due to the heat. a Temperance Choir Entertainment. The Temperance choir of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church was enter- tained last evening by Miss Farnie Fisher of the temperance committee, in the lec- ture room. Rev. Grimke made a very pleasing address, after which those present were served with refreshments. AMONG THE TOILERS Action Taken by the Organizations Which Held Meetings Last Night. Labor Bureau and Library Project Generally Indorsed—Washington and the Electrical Convention. The regular meeting of Excelsior Assem- bly, No. 2672, was well attended last night, ard much business transacted. A press committee, consisting of E. M. Blake, Mrs. P. Hausen and Jos. W. Cheyney was elect- ed, and said committee was instructed to impartially recognize newspapers in the city in the giving out of news. The work- ingmen’s library and labor bureau was unanimously indorsed, and Mrs. J. L. Mon- roe elected to represent the assembly on the permanent committee. One candidate was elected to full member- ship. The lecture by Samuel H. Bell on “Government Ownership of the Telegraph” was postponed on account of the heat, and the second Friday in October fixed as the date of the lecture, when the assembly will hold an open meeting at Typographical Temple, ani all interested in the subject are invited. Mr. Bell has studied his sub- ject for twenty-five years, and as ehairman of the committee appointed by the Interna- tioral Typographical to urge the passage of @ government telegraph bill, for the past two years, he has given a close and thoughtful study of the question, and as he is a pleasing and popular speaker all who attend will no doubt be well repaid. ‘The first Friday in October an open meet- ing will be held at the assembly rooms at Typographical Temple, at 8:30 p.m. Mrs. R. B. Parkman will deliver a lecture on the financial question. Mrs. Parkman is a highly educated woman, who has made a special study of the subject. ‘The confererce committee of the Steam and Hot Water Fitters’ Association and the Plumbers was held last night for the pur- pose of further talking over the differcuces between the two organizations, and it is understood an agreement was reached which will be satisfactory to both sides. It is supposed that a full report, including a plan of settlement, will be reported to the Federation Tvesday next. There was considerable discussion at last night's meeting of the Stonemasons’ Union in reference to the employment at the navy yard cf a former member, who is said to have left the association because he was fined $25 for a violation of the rules, and a committee was appointed, composed of Messrs. Bolger, Sullivan and Carroll, to call on the proper authorities and ask that the party be required either to again join the union or leave the work. The labor bureau and workingmen’s li- brary scheme was indorsed, and Mr. R. L. Carroll was appointed to represent the union on the board of management. Electrical Workers. Local Union, No. 26, of Electrical Work- ers, held a large and erthusiastic meeting last night. A Ictter was read from Grand Secretary-Treasurer Kelly of the executive board at St. Louis, stating that Wash- ington is now far in the lead of the cities for which preference has been made by the various unions, as the place of holding the next convention. A committee was present during a part of the session, from the: Musical Assembly, and they requested that only union mu- siclans shall be empleyed during the con- vention. No vote was taken on the sub- ject, but it ts regarded as a foregone con- ene that the request will be complied with. There was some discussion relative to the desirability and feasibility of entering the contest for the $100 banner to be awarded the most popular laber organization by the Corcoran Cadets during their military fete at the National Riflest Armory, October 28 to Nevember 9, inclusive, but the settle- ment of the question was deferred until the next meeting. Jcurneymen House Painters. The Journeymen House- Painters’ As- sembly last night indorsed the labor bu- reau and workingmen's library project, and elected Mr. C. T. Walport as their repre- sentative in the board of management. —_+>—_. Electing Delegates. There was an exciting meeting of colored republicans at the First Baptist Church last night, the meeting being called for the pur- pose of electing delegates to the Baltiunore colored convention. James W. Poe presided, and, after resolutions commending the gov- ernment for its interest in the Waller case and favoring suffrage here had been adopt- ed, the chair appointed a committee to se- lect nominees for election as delegates. The committee—Coleman Horner, Daniel Stiiiard and J. H. Richardson—smashed the sJate by securing the election of the two last named, the others being R. H. Keys and James W. Pce at large and Charles S. Johnson, R. T. Smith, W. Morris and R. H. Lewi little excitement was caused by V a who stoutly objected to what he termed was a farce in the selection of the delegates. The objections of Cox, however, availed nothing, the selection of the delegates being finally ratified. ‘The following delegates nave been el by the Lincoln republican club to the more convention: J. E. Brown, Albert Hul- land and Arthur Pannelle, and the following have been elected by the National Vigilant Association: Rev. James Anderson, Francis S. Golden and Benjamin G. Thompson. —-—__ Marsball Hall Tomorrow. Those who wish to escape this last flurry of heat will do well to consider Marshall Hall in their plans for tomorrow. The place is well suited for just such weather as is at present visiting this vicinity, and no better rescrt can be found to while away the long, hot hours of a Sunday af- ternoon. This will be one of the last Sun- days at this place, and the management has determined that the season shall end in as good style as it began. Everything is sull in good running order, and there is no question of the capabilities of the resort to afford any number a most pleas- ant day's outing. The boats leave at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Returning, leave Mar- shall Hall at 1 and 6 pm.
