Almost every day the police find one or mere dead bodies of infants, and occasion- ally a live child is found. In some of the cases death resulted frem violence, while in a large majority of them no charge of murder could be brought. Last night Po- liceman Ellis found a colored infant under a perch near 12th and O streets. His at- tention was attracted to the infant by hear- ing a nolse beneath the porch, and upon in- vestigation he found there a colored child apparently about two months old, which Fad been wrapped in a_bed- spread. He took it to the station, and it was sent to St. Ann's Asylum. In cases of this kind the parties leaving the child are liable to punishment under the law for abandoning children, but it has been some time since the police have made a case of this nature. In this case an effort will be made to apprehend the mother of the child. poten ea A Herdic Suggestion. To the Esitor of The Eveatng Star: The Star is watchful for needed public changes and improvements. ‘The herdic company has taken a com- mendable step In giving the public a 3c. fare. The interests of its patrons can be further consulted without loss to the com- pany as follows: Let the 1th street line and the G street line herdies be suitably numbered and then let the odd numbers of both lines go down Pennsylvania avenue and the even num- bers of both Ines go out F street. In this way the patrons of the herdics could avoid to a great extent the transfer at Lafayet Square, always objectionable, and espe- clally so in hot, cold or stormy weather. At present those living 16th street way cannot go shopping on F street or go to the patent, pension and post offices, and those out G street way cannot go to the depots or Capitol by an undisturbed r This proposed change would conduce great- ly to the comfort and convenience of the herdic patrons and, we believe, to the de- cided benefit of the company. Many of the patrons to whom this has been suggested have spoken strongly in its favor and none adversely. . ———— Old English Furniture and Delftware at Auction, A sale of these fine goods will take place at M.

General Conformity With the Capitol Plaza—Asphalt Driveways and Curving Walks. Residents of East Washington who werd their way down-townwards and home again on foot each day and others whose pleasure or business carries them east of the Capitol are watching with interest the progress of the work on the grounds sur- rounding the new Congressional Library building. Gen. Casey's men are busily la- 2 sr EAST. As 70210") will show an asphalt driveway, semicir- cular in form and about ninety fect wide at its widest part, leading from Ist street to the porte cochere and main entrance.of the building. Carriages can enter this driveway at the north cr south entrance and halt in foul weather beneath the porte cochere or land their occupants on a wide stone platform communicating with the main outside stairway. The driveway will be flanked by stone coping.of appropriate height and design and in harmony with the stone work around the entire grounds. An- other driveway of a different shape com- municates with the east front of the bulld- ing, entering from 2d street. This is what might be called the rear entrance and gives upon the doors leading into the ground floor of the structure. From each of the four corners of the square gracefully curving walks will he laid, communicating with other walks, ex- tending in a straight line to the middle of the square from the street to the edge of the building. A glance at the plan pre- sented herewith shows the general outline of these walks and gives an idea of the 7 sr" easr. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY GRO! boring these days excavating, leveling and ‘Brading the ground afound the building, preparatory to laying the asphalt, drive- ways and the paths and sidewalks through the square. All is being done in conformity with a general map and plan prepared be- forehand, a drawing 2f which is presented herewith. In a general way the plan for the im- provement of these grounds will conform to the outline of the drives and walks through the plaza between the Capitol and Library building. It is intended to have the Library park a continuation of the Capitol park. The lines of the roads and walks wil! be upon the same curves and will radiate in the same directions. The completion of the walks will pe of great benefit to persons traversing that neigh- borhood, as it will enable them to cut oft considerable distance between 2d street east and Pennsylvania avenue northwest, making the way shorter than if they fol- lowed the straight lines of the streets. The West Front. The west front of the Library grounds shape of the plfts of ground thus inter- sected. The walks will be drained so that pedestrians may go through the grounds dry-fcoted in wet weather. At intervals around the outside of the building wil) be located drinking fountains, spouting Poto- mac water, more or less pure, into stone receptacles and furnished with iron cups to enable the weary wayfarer to assuage his thirst. The Lawns. It 1s proposed to prepare the ground thus inclosed this winter for sowing in grass at the appropriate time and by next summer well-kept lawns will surround the build- ing. It is also intended to make some ef- fort at landscape gardening, and trees and shrubbery will be set cut over the place so as to make a pleasing appearance. The work on the grounds when completed will add immeasurably to the attractiveness of the magnificent structure. The same at- tention is being given to the smaller de- tails of laying out pathways through the grounds as was devoted to all other work on the building. OLMSTEAD CASE POSTPONED. Scarlet Fever in a Juror's Family the Cause. Because of scarlet fever in the family of Juror John B. Buckley of 1806 T street, Judge Bradley this morning postponed the Olmstead will case until Monday morning next, the safety of Mr. Buckley’s fellow jurors as well as that of all other parties in the case requiring such a course in the opinion of both ccurt end counsel. Mr. Buckley did not take his place in the jury box today, although he was present in court, and upon the opening of court Judge Bradley announced that he had been in- fermed that since yesterday a child of Mr. Buckley had unfortunately developed a case of scarlet fever. So far as he was personally concerned, explained Judge Brad- ley, he had no fear of the disease, but he felt that it would, perhaps, be unwise to imperil others, and he would, therefore, ex- excuse Mr. Buckley from further attend- ance in the case. Mr. R. Ross Perry, of counsel for Mrs. Linda Hutchinson Webb, who is contesting the will of her sister, Mrs. John F. Olm- stead, stated that Mrs. Webb was the mother of two children, cne an infant of six months, and they, as well as the chil- dren of other jurors, would be endangered by Mr. Buckley's further attendance, un- less the juror would voluntarily quarantine himself. But no one, explained Mr. Perry, would keep a father from his sick child, and it seemed to him that it would be just as well to discharge Mr. Buckley from the case altogether. Mr. Jere M. Wilson, of counsel for Mr. John F, Olmstead, the beneficiary under the contested will, suggested that the case go over until Monday, when it might be dis- covered that the juror’s child was not suf- fering from scarlet fever. But if it should then: be found that the child is suffering from the disease the case might be com- menced all over again. Judge Bradley thought the trial should be postponed until Monday morning, and he accordingly respited the jury until that time and adjourned the case until then. It is more than probable that the trial will then be commenced anew, should the disease from which Juror Buckley’s child is suffering prove to be scarlet fever. ——— MILITARY Another Crowd Attends the Corcoran Cadet Corps Fete. The attendance at the milltary fete of the Corcoran Cadet Corps, now in progress at the National Rifles’ Armory, has in- creased nightly since the opening. The guests last evening were the Morton Ca- dets, under Capt. Edgar A. Shilling; the Lemon Rifles, Capt. L. H. Mattingly; Capt. H. D, King’s company, and also Major F. T. Wilson and staff of the third hat- talion, D. C. N. G. Prof. Harris entertained the throng with his marionettes, and dancing was generally indulged in. Owing to continued illness Miss Lottie Evans was unable to appear in La Danse de Jupe. This evening is ex- pected to be a gala occasion, for special invitations haye been extended to the busi- nes¥ men of Washington. The other guests will be Major E. R. Campbell and staff of the fourth battalion, D. C. N. G.; the Emmet Guard, Hibernian Rifles, Campbell Light Infantry and the Ordway Rifles. The program arranged includes Shackelford and Graham, contortionists; Prof. West, in feats of legerdemain and a pie-eating match. Tomorrow evening is to be set aside as a grand children’s carnival, when the young people of Washington are to be invited to participate in the merrymaking. —__ A Doubted Robbery. ‘The police are now certain that no rob- bery was committed in the Capitol grounds Saturday night, as was reported by a young man who gave his name as William D. Raymond. This young man, as printed in Monday’s Star, claimed that he had been “held up” and robbed of his gold watch and $iS—-every cent he had—by three white men, and gave the officers a description of one of them, He gave his residence as No. 1012 North 12th street, Richmond, and Detec- tives Horne and Weedon, who were as- signed to the ease, doubted the truth of the report. The young man made the re- port late Saturday night and promised to return to headquarters the next day, but failed to do so. This aroused the suspicions of the officers and they communicated with the Richmond authorities. Today word was received from Richmond that the officers knew of no such man and that there is no uch number as 1012 North 12th street. This satlstied the officers that no robbery had occurred, and the report .will no longer be carried on the books. MANY VISITORS.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the German Orphan Asylum was held last night in the parlor of Mades’ Hotel. Mr. Charles Graff acted as president and Mr. Edward W. Kech as secretary. The secretary read the reports of the treasurer and of the board of directors, also that of Mr. Henry Ermold, the superintendent of the asylum. The report of the secretary touched on the recent trouble at the asylum, with which the name of Mr. Ermold was con- nected, but made no comment upon it other than to say that, after a careful investiga- tion by Col. John Tracey, superintendent of charities, and Mr. S. Wilson, agent of the Humane Society, they found that the charges against Mr. Ermold were not sus- tained. The financial report showed that the receipts during the year were $6,529.28 and the expenses $0,043.38, leaving a bal- ance on hand of $485.90. Two papers were read, one from the Ladies’ Aid Society, presented by Mrs. N. Boettcher, and the other from the Ladies’ Sewing Society, presented by Mrs. Bertha Caron. An election for six directors re- sulted in the choice of Messrs. C. A. Did- den, Charles Rogier, Chris. Heurich, Wm. Kettler, Werner Koch and George J. Seuf- ferle. ——_—_ A MASONIC IVERSITY, An Effort to Raise an Endowment Among Members of the Order. Many members of the Masonic fraternity in Washington have received circulars in- viting their co-operation in establishing a great national university of the order in the United States, which, it is thought, will be lecated at Beaver, Pa. The organization that was formed at the recent Knights Templar conclave in Boston to promote the project has been extremely busy in getting ready to carry out the objects for which it was formed. A charter for the university has been se- cured from the Beaver county court, and a site of 800 acres has virtually been selected. The land overlooks the town of Beaver and the Ohio river, and if the university is lo- cated there the Masons of Beaver and. cinity will make a gift of the land. The purpose is to have an endowment fund, including the site and the buildings, of $8,000,000. This sum wiil give the public a better idea of what is intended than any elaborate description. Divided among the Masons of the United States, the projectors say, the money would be raised if each member paid $10. It is claimed that Beaver is the centef of the Masonic population of the United States. There was a disposition on tre part of some of the Philadelphia Masons to make a bid for the university,but they have Leen persuaded not to antagonize Beaver in the matter. The following is a part of the circular eons the plan of the proposed institu- i “Please inform every member of your Icdge that during the conclave in Boston a meeting of prominent Masons was held, and it was decided to obtain a charter for a university, to be known as the National University. This has been done. Children over sixteen years of age resident anywhere in the United States, whose fatfers (if de- ceased) were master Masons, and also chil- dren of master Masons are entitled to its benefits. This college will be wholly in the interest of the craft, and will be controlled by Masons. ‘The indigent children of de- ceased Masons will be received, clothed, fed and educated free of charge, and will in every way enjoy the same privileges as. the children of the wealthy; yet it is the intention of the projectors ‘of the school that these orphans shall never be conscious that they are the recipients of charity, but that they shall go out into the world thoroughiy equipped with an education secured to them by the fact that their fathers were master Masons. Social rank will not be marked by any superiority of dress, as all will wear uniforms of the same’ material. Boys will be in military uniform; girls in university dress. “Each’ member of all blue lodges, also every Masonic organization, will be asked to make this institution an endowment. After this is secured the college will be self-sustaining. This is entirely optional, and a refusal will not invalidate their rela- tions with the college. Pecuniary contribu- tions from every master Mason would greatly add to the success of the college, yet its ultimate success will depend rather upon the moral support given by the craft. Students will graduate and receive from the university their diplomas in the following departments: Theology, law, medicine, elec- tricity, military science, besides a manual training school inferior to none.” COLOR LINE IN JURIES An Interesting Case to Be Shortly Heard in the §upreme Court. The Point Raised Phat White Men Are Exclusively Drawn on Grand and Petit Jurfenyin the South. Upon invitationiof some of the colored citizens here Lawyer Cornelius J. Jones of Mississippi addressed a large audience last night in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. The object-of the meeting was to lay before the colored people of the city the merits of the case of John Gibson and Charley Smith against the state of Missis- sippi, which, it is expected, will be called up In the Supreme Court at no distant date. Much interest is being manifested in the case, not only by the colored people here, but throughout the south generally, as it involves the question of colored men serv- ing on juries in the south. Both of the plaintiffs are colored men, and have been three times convicted by the Mississippi state courts of murder, and the supreme court of the state has three times reversed the decision of the lower courts. Having been convicted the fourth time, the case was carried to the state supreme court upon the grounds that there were no col- ored men on the juries which indicted and ecnyicted the men. The supreme court sus- talsted the lower courts in excluding colored tjen from jury duty, and upon this Judge White of the United States Supreme Court in July last granted a writ of error, and certified the case to the Supreme Court. Mr. Jones discussed the various phases of the case, and the bearing it would have upon criminal practice in the south in the future. He said: “There is a practice pre- vailing in many of the courts of the south, and especially the state of Mississippi, wherein negroes, in state courts, are uni- formly excluded from jury service in the courts, however well qualified, and this ex- clusion is on account of their race and color. The exclusion is effected by state officers purposely and intentionally.” He contended, that an indictment procured by an ertire white jury, and a eonviction pro- cured by gn entirely white petit jury, where a negro is en trial, is a gross violation of the fourteenth amendment to the Coustitu- tion. Mr. Jones said he was confident that the court will concur with him. If the court should sustain Mr. Jones’ po- sition, it will revolutionize the present sys- tem of jury service in'many states of the south. Both the grand and petit juries of the criminal courts of the south are in every instance ulmest composed exclusively of white men. The leaders of the colored race have contended for some years ®hat be- sides being a gross violation of the Con- stitution, it was an injustice to the negro, as in most every case upon which 1egrces are tried they are convicted. They are, therefore, watching with much interest the outcome of the case, and are hoping and believing that Mr. Jones will be sustained. ae THE CONGREGATIONAL CLUB. Its Fall Dinner Last Night Was a Feast of Reason. The fall meeting and dinner of the Wash- ington Congregatiormal Club was held last evening at Freund’s, on 10th street, and more than a hun@reti members of the club and their guests ‘sat down to the banquet and later enjoyed the musical and literary features with which the meeting was en- livened. At the éndf the dinner the chair- man of the everiing, Rev. Dr. S. M. New- man, president of the club, called the meet- ing to order. A Sho¥t business session was held, the first patt of which was the read- ing of the minutés by the secretary, Mr. G. A. L. Merrifield. The question of, celebrat- ing forefathers’ @ay, ‘December 21, was dis- cussed, and the whole matter was referred to the executive committee, with full power to act and arrange dil details. ‘Then. followed some musical selections rengerea by Dr. BH. H. Arnéti afd Mrs. Henry Berry of Kéntucky. Dr. Newman gave a short address'en the subject of the “Civic Center, Its Purposés and Work.” The principal address of the evening was by Mr. Carroll D. Wright, whose subject was “Ethics Applied to the Administration of Cities.” After speaking at some length of the dangers and difficulties which beset large cities, the capital especially, he con- cluded his address by referring to the pres- ence of women in practical politics, and the good effect of such action on their part. It is similar, he said, to the effect created by the introduction of religion into politics, for in each case the result obtained is a purification of political methods. With a practical adaptation of these methods there would never be any ruin to this country. ——-—>__ Funeral of Gen. Pitcher. The funeral of Gen. P. G. Pitcher, U.S.A. retired, who died at Fort Bayard, N. M. October 39, took place from Rock Creek Church at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The services were of a most impressive na- ture, and the floral triputes from the friends of the old soldier were many and beautiul. The little church was crowded with the frienis of the family, the congregation in- cluding a large number from the army and Tavy contingent resident in this city. Gen. Pitcher was, at one time, thé governor of Soldiers’ Home, and had been a vestryman of Rock Creek Church for twenty years. He was an old personal friend of Rev. Dr. ; Buck, the rector of the church, who de- livered an eloquent and touching address at the funeral yesterday, referring at length to the long and useful life which Gen. Pitcher had lived: Dr. Buck was assisted in conducting the services by Rev. Dr. As- pinwall, rector of Sts Thomas’ Church, and Rev. Mr. Howeil, rector of St. Margaret's, The honorary pallbearers were Gen. Stan- ley, Gen. Vincent, Gen. Reynolds, Col. J. M. Wilson, Col. Andrews and Capt. Catlin. Gen. Stanley, the governor of the Sold-ers’ Home, furnished six sergeants from the home, in uniform, who were the active pall- bearers, and carried the remains from the little church to the grave, where Gen. Pitcher was laid to rest beside the body of his wife, who d.ed Christmas day,.JS04. nO VAAN AKING POWDER. Absolutely Pure. ‘A cream of tértar ‘baking powder.

SDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1895-SIXTEEN ———= —————— HELPED FOUND THE Y. M. C. A, Death of Dr. Langdon, Formerly Chief of the Patent Office. Rey. Dr. William C. Langdon, for sev- eral years a resident of Washington, died in Providence, R. I., Monday, aged sixty- four years. Dr. Langdon was born in Burlington, Vt., graduated from Transyl- vania University at the age of nineteen, and immediately after his graduation was appointed an examiner in the patent office here, having been recommended by Prof. Joseph Henry. He continued in the office until the age of twenty-five, when, by his ability, he had gradually been promoted to be chief examiner. He held this office but a short time, leav- ing it to go into the patent law business, and it was at this time that he became interested in the founding of the Washing- ton Y. M. C. A., and it was through his con- nection with that institution that led him to take up the ministry, which he did, and was ordained in 1857 by Bishop Whitting- ham of Maryland, and the following year, 1858, was married to Miss H. Agnes Coyrt- ney of Baltimore, Md. He departed in 1859 for Italy and remain- ed in that country seventeen years as a representative of the Episcopal Church as an ecclesiastical diplomat, and during the Italian revolution was closely allied to the literal party. For two years he edited the literal organ, known then as the Exam- inatore. He returned tos America in 18; and engaged in various religious and liter- ary undertakings. Besides the founding of the Washington Y. M. C. A. he was also the prime mover in the founding of the National American Y. M. C. A. and was one of its earliest presidents. ———_- New German Catholic Orphan Asylam.
