A girl may be possessed of all the domestic virtues, she may have a cultivated mind full of fine aspirations and earnest resolu- tions, she may be popular with her girl friends and respected by everybody, and yet fdil to please men and secure attention. Why? Merely because she is ignorant of the judicious method of falling into ab- sorbing talk and drawing beyond the con- ventional phrase on to deliciously danger- ous topics. Because, in short, she has rot the art of entering into interesting conver- sation. A few rules will repay study and be of service to the novice in society. Do not regard conversation solely as a race in volubility, There must be an hon- est fund of general information, an intelli- gent interest in the every-day affairs of life, a bright persOnality, a fresh piquancy of expression, and the talent to conceal ignorance or cleverness—too much of either is ndt an advantage. If you are at a loss what to say, it will always be safe to ask your partner for in- formation on any subject, He will be pleased to give it, and you'may be amused to receive It. You cannot ask for advice too frequently. You are under no obligations to follow it, and any man will be the happier for giving it. - Never ask a question unless you can dis- play genuine anxiety for the answer. i you say only “How do you do?” let ¥ tone and expression show that che arswer is of vital importance to you. Be confidential—eccasionally—as to your sentiments, thoughts and ambitions; but never fail to mention that reserve is your habitual characteristic and that you cannot quite account for the irresistible imputse to break through it Never contradict a man—neye-! And if he asks you for an opinion, always try to give him his own. Acquire an insight into man’s character and learn to understand his little weakness- es, as a medical specialist understands the symptoms of his own particular professional line. Then you will realize that in some cases tender, infinite softness is necessary to charm; in others, little rebellions and dainty commands are most important. Always be quietly dressed. Most men have a great admiration for demure .ones and are frequently irritably disturbed by too much color in a Rown, top emphatic dimensions in sleeves or other; fashionable exagyera- tions. 3 And, above all; be, and remain, an enigma. It is quite true-the,old Greek’ philosopher was right—when a man understands a wo- man she ceases fo be, of interest to him. Like poets, the, charming woman is born, not made. Still; to be agreeable !s, in a measure, a scienge, and, like other arts, may be, at least to a certain degree, acquired. The art that consists of graceful tact, of winsome compliments, of sweet nothings, of delectable follies will make life pleasanter for both men and ;women, and is quite worthy of earnest sivdy, for our happiness in the world depends very much upon the admiration we axe able to inspire.

Statement at Ottawa of the Condition of Affairs, Certain dispatches in the United States press regardingAlaska misrepresent the true state of affairs, according to Ottawa advices. At Fort Cudahy, where Capt.Constantine and his squad are stationed, there is no dispute as to the boundary line, as it is fixed by the treaty and is the fourteenth meridian. ‘The mounted force which reached Fort Cu- dahy in July, was sent at the urgent re- quest of Americans, as well as Canadians.

KENTUCKY ORATORY —— A Republican Speaking in a Typical Blue Grass Town. THE CHARACTER OF THE AUDIENCE Col. Bradley, the Gubernatorial Candidate, Talks. Politics. UP THE GATHERING SIZES From a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ‘ CLOVERPORT, Ky:, October 30, 1895. There was an old-time Kentucky political meeting down at Cloverport, in the hill cqun- try along the Ohio river, today, and it was a big day for the district. Cloverport is on the line of a railroad which bears the high- sounding title of the Louisville, St. Louis and Texas railway. The road starts out bravely from Louisville in the direction of Texas, with a kind of general slant towards St. Louis, as though desiring to bear that terminus in mind all the while, and proceeds in this fashion for about 140 miles, where it finally becomes discouraged and stops short. It may be, that, arriving at a point where St. Louis bears to the northwest and Texas to the southwest, the problem of taking in both places on the same line seems too big, and the road just throws. up the job. The line gets safely past Cloverport, however, before ending. The town is one of those quiet, old Ken- tucky river settlements, peopled by nice folks, who are the soul of hospitality. There is nothing too good for the visitor while he stays with them. The place is mainly built on the sides of one long street running along the bluff overhanging the river. When there is a good stage of water in the Ohio the town overlooks a busy panorama on the great water highway between the Alleghanies and the gulf. In the hill country south of the river are prosperous farms, and tightly- packed tobacco warehouses in Cloverport at this season of the year bear witness to their productiveness. The republican candidate for governor, Col. Bradley, was billed to speak at Clover- port, and the fact had been well advertised among the country people for days pre- viously. Long before the hour set for the “speaking” they had begun to arrive, horse- back and in wagons, with here and there a buggy, in which some young back-country buck was bringing his girl to hear the orator of the day. Plain people, as a rule, used to hard labor and plenty of it. Some of them had ridden many miles for the occasion, starting from their lonely hillside farms long before break of day. The average Ken- tuckian will start the night before, if it necessary, in order to hear good “speaking. Roscce Conkling once remarked to Col. Bradley that in the north men are educated to be orators, and in the south they are born orators. It is certain that the love of ora- tory is born in the people. This is a close district, because these country people are a sturdy and independ- ent set of men, and vote sometimes che democratic ticket and at others for the re- publican candidates. Tnere is a large nu cleus of dyed-in-the-wool republicans, how ever, and when you strike one of these fel- lows you find the stubbornest, most irre- pressible type of republicanism represented in him. His creed is narrow, but based up- on a rock—the name of Abraham Lincoin. Hts allegiance to, the party is of the blind, urquestionmne sort that never swerves. He believes in free coinage in these parts, but when the leaders come around and tell him to vote the straight ticket and leave the financial question to abler heads than his, he comes up without a murmur and votes the ticket, firm in the belief that somehow or other the party will straighten out the problem in the right way. These bill country men that gather on the strects today are very much alike in form and face. Tall and spare, with prominent features and sardy hair and beard. They are meditative in manner, slow to speak, but mighty quick to act when aroused. AS they stand around on the sunny side of the street this nipping day there is something s ieyed about them, like the general hue of the country in the fall. Nocntime comes and the crowd goes sin- gly and in groups to the horses and wag- ons, hitched and picketed in conventent places, to feed the stock and themselves. Fodder is what the horses and mules get, with occasionally a measure of corn. ‘The women in the party spread out the “enacks,” while the men from beneath a bundle of straw in the end of the wagon bring out sundry jugs and bottles. Apple brandy is the favorite tipple, and washes down the plain country fare, after which they bring out their pipes and are ready for the speaking. The tcwn band parades the main stteet, druraming up the crowd, which follows along to the grist mill,where Col. Bradley is to speak from the open door. The people crowd around and the band stops its efforts while Col. Bradley is introduced tu his audierce. He is a good talker and a gcod politician. He seconded the nomination of Mr. Grant in the days of the 306, and his voice has been heard in many national conventions. Before he begins today he sizes up his au- @ience and takes the intellectual measure- ment of his hearers. He talks in plain figure of speech and punctuates his politi- cal paragraphs with jokes. All the old fa- miliar faces in campaign anecdotes appear again, aud I recognize many an old ac- quaintance, introduced by speakers in other states Of course he compares the democ- racy to the state of the man who, in es- caping from a wreck, hurriedly put on his trousers hind part before, and thought ne must be hurt hecatse he was “pretty badly twisted.” It goes. Col. Bradley charges the democratic can- didates with being bolters, men without a platform. He says they do not represent the democracy of the party, of Grover Cleve- aes | }-tuck.”” | still to be completed. So far nearly $ who are bigger than their party. He de- clares that he, republican as he Is, represents the honest money feature of the democratic platform, the money of Cleveland and Car- lisle. He says the populist candidate is more honest than the democratic one, be- cause he talks free coinage on a free coinage platform, while the other man talks free coinage on a sound money plank. He pledges himself if the opportunity occurs to appoint a gold standard Senator, a man who believes “in the honest dollar of the re- publican party, of John Sherman, of Grover Cleveland and John G. Carlisle." The :rowd does not quite seem to understand the com- bination. His talk against free coinage does not strike @ popular chord, apparently. This was explained later, when I saw a big stack of Coin’s Financial School in a store win- dow and learned that men who could not af- ford to buy copies had swapped tobacco and turnips with the storekeeper for volumes. Finding his audience growing restive under the free silver castigatiop, the wily sffeaker Switches off onto hot republican doctrines of standard character, and again carries the audience with him. They promise him to come out and vote on election day, and one old democrat on the edge of the crowd cries out, “Yes, an’ we'll be thar, too.” After the “speaking” there is a general rush for the wagons and teams. They hitch up and bundle in the “women folkg,’ who have utilized the time and the mellowed condition of their lords and masters since dinner—with the apple brandy accompani- ment—to do a little “trading” at the stores. They line out the dusty road in lively pro- cession, homeward bound, spurring their teams in friendly rivalry and bantering each other as they go. My t impression of Cloverport is of three hérsemen on the brow of the hill, vividly outlined against the western horizon, brandishing their big soft hats and shouting “Hurrah for old Kain- N. O.

The First Congregational Church is to cel- ebrate two important events in its history, namely, the completion of the most exten- sive repairs and improvements ever made to’ the edifice and the reopening exercises inci- dent to them, and the thirtieth anniversary of the organization of the congregation. Tomorrow at the morning service Rev. S. M. Newman, D.D., the pastor, is to deliver a sermon appropriate to a reopening, and in the evening the choir, under the direction of Its leader, Dr. J. W. Bischoff, is to render a special choral service. Communion will not be administered tomorrow, but has beca postponed until the following Sabbath. On ‘Thursday evening following the first portion of the thirtieth anniversary exercises is to be held. This will be in the natire of a reminiscent evening, all the addresses to contain anecdotes of the church in the vari- ous stages of its career. Friday evening will occur the regulaf anniversary social. It is expected both events will attract a,large a! tendance, including sume guests from out- side the city. History of the Church. Attempts were made to plant a Congrega- tional church in Washington as far back as 1847, but the measures which were destined to prove successful date from 1864, when several meetings were held by those who were zealous for the object. Their consulta- tions after more than a year resulted in or- ganizing a society on the 17th of August, 1865, which ultimately became merged in the “First Congregational Society of Washing- ton,” incorporated under an act of Congress, approved in January, 1867. On Sunday, the 17th of September, 1865, public services were held under the direction of a committee, by Rev. C. B. Boynton, D.D. in the building at the corner of 6th and streets northwest, which was hired for three months, and, at the expiration of the lease, the Columbian College Law building was se- cured, and the church and the society held all their meetings in it until May,1868, except that the preaching services were held in Metzerott’s Hail from February, 1866, to the 1st of December, 1867, and afterward for one season, while Congress was in session, in the hall of the House of Representatives, of which the pastor, Dr. Boynton, was chap- Jain. In 1866 the Congregational Union advanced money to purchase a site for a house for public worship on the northeast corner of 10th and G streets northwest. The corner stone of the present, edifice was laid with appropriate ceremonies October 4, 1866,when Rev. E. Johnson of Baltimore made an ad- dress and a history of the undertaking was given by Gen. O. O, Howard. The dedi- catory prayer was offered by Rev. J. C. Holbrook, D.D., of Homer, N. Y. Phe work of raising the building fund was chiefly through the influence and agency of Gen. Howard. The First Pastor. May 5 the bullding was occupied for a business meeting, and has been’ used con- tinuously since that date for public wor- ship, as well as for various conventions of public interest, lectures and concerts. Rev. | Dr. Boynton officiated as the acting pastor from September 17, 1865, when the first public services Were held, until he was regularly installed by a council on the day upon which the corner stone was laid. He resigned in April of 1869, and Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., was subsequentiy invited to ; become pastor. He accepted tke call and entered upon the duties of his office in October and was installed Wednesday, April 20, 1870, Rev. R. 8.Storrs, D.D., LL.D., of Brooklyn preaching the sermon. The house of worship.was ded- ieated the same day. Dr. Rankin’s pastor- ate continued through a period of nearly fifieten years. He resigned June, 1884, and Rey. S. M. Newman of Ripon, Wis., was elected to fill the vacancy at a meeting of the church and was installed by council May 2), 1885, Rev. Alexander McKenzie, D.D., of Cambridge, Mass., preaching the sermon. Out of the present congregation have sprung other churches, though only two inside the city limits are in existence today, namely, the Mt. Pleasant Church and the Fifth Congregxtional. Extensive Alterations. Last spring a committee was appointed, including in the number several expert engineers, to examine into the condition of the church and report on the repairs needed. They recommended extensive al- terations, and these have been carried out for the most part, though some detatis are 00 have been expended in the work, and the whole of it has been raised by subscrip- tions from the congregation. The roof has been repaired and three large ventilators of approved style have been placed in the roof. The old plumbing has been taken out and modern apparatus substituted in its place. Both the upper and lower kitchens have been entirely done over and a new equipment added. Steam heating has been put in for all the rooms in the building, ex- cept the main audience room, and including Dr. Biscnoff's room and the choir gallery. The walls of the main auditorium have been decorated and the Lord’s Prayer has been inscribed in large gilt letters on the wall on one side of the organ at the end of the church, and on the other side is a se- lection from the Psalms. The work on the outside has not long been started and con- sequently will not be finished for some little time as yet. The parking will be surround- ed by a low stone wall, surmounted by a low iron fence. An important feature of the whole work is the new and extensive land and John G.

SUNDAY FUNERALS Members of Colored Societies Object to Doing Away With Them. TALK OF BOYCOPTING THE CHURCHES Nearly Twenty Thousand Persons Belong to Such Organizations. ALL ARE DISAPPROVING —— The proposition of the colored clergymen to do away with Sunday funerals of secret society members has caused quite a stir among the society people. The big function- erles in the societies are talking of boy- cotting the pastors of the churches which are kicking. against Sunday funerals, and say that if the funerals cannot be held in the churches in the future all society fcnerals will be held from the respective halls which are owned by the different lodges. There are about fifty or seventy- five different secret organizations among the colored people here, and the member- ship numbers 15,000 or 20,000 persons. They even have juvenile societies, to which many of the colored children belong. Nearly all of these orgar izations have their own halls, and it would be a very easy matter for them to conduet their own funerals. If the pas- tors who now have churches will not par- ticipate in the services at the halls, there are several clergymen who have no churches ard they will be invited by the society peo- ple to conduct the services over their dead, and they will pay for it. One of the mem- bers of a lodge in this city related today how a few years ago the colored clergymen of Brooklyn, N. Y., attempted to do the same thing that some of the clergymen here are talking of doing, but it was found that the secret orders were so strong that the clergymen were brought to terms, He said that it was true that there are more mem- Lers of secret societies here than there are members of the churches, and that some of the members of the churches would with- draw from them if they could not have their dead buried as they wanted to. The Position of the Societies. The officials of the secret societies say that they, as well as the clergymen, deprecate Sunday funerals and so much display in connection with them, but they argue that the colored people here are mostly so poor that they cannot afford to lose their day’s work to attend funerals, and accordingly they are postponed ‘until Sunday, when the members can attend without losing their day’s wages. From interviews obtained from the high officials in ghe societies here, they are all of one opinion—that the clergy- men have made a mistake in attempting to interfere with society funerals. Mr. Charles H. Marshall, who, besides be- ing at the head of the Eastern Star Lodge of Good Samaritans of this city, is the national grand sire of all the lodges in the country, . talked to a Star reporter today upon the Proposition of the clergymen to regulate Sunday funerals. Poor People Must Be Considered. He said: Most of the members of secret societies are poor people, who have to work caily for their living. If death occurs in any of their families, and the burial takes place during the week, these poor pecple will have to lose a day’s work to attend the funeral, and in many cases if they lose a day they will have to lose their employ- ment. Thi: would be very hard on them, and in order tu accommodate them the funerals are usually postponed until Sun- day, in order to give them opportunity to attend. Of course I disapprove of holding over a body until Sunday if the death oc- curred in the early part of the week. But if a person dies on Wednesday or later in the week there can be no harm in keeping the body over until Sun@ay, providing it is not injurious to the health-of the public. I am opposec to the retention of bodies from the grave, simply for the purpose of making big displays, but where It will con- serve to the interest of the majority of the members there ought not to be any objec- tion. I think the pastors here made a mi: take in trying to regulate sentiment for societies, and if the preachers will only preach, visit the sick and bury the dead they will have enough to do, without irter- fering with the secret organizations. I am opposed to the dpening of coffins in’ churches, because it is, in fact, injurious to the public health, and concur with the pas- tors in their endeavor to suppress such pro- ceedings. I voice the sentiment of society people when I say that they do not take up too much time in carrying out their ritualistic services, and we always try to make the services as short as possible. But if we cannot have the churches for the burial of our dedd, the Samaritans have a fine hall from which they can conduct their own services. The pastors have no right to fry and control the societies, and they will find out that they make a big mistake if they attempt to carry out their “determina- tions” in this matter. Mr. W. H. Myer, who is the secretary of the Masonic orders in this city, said that he had read with much surprise of the di terminations of the clergymen, but ¢! he aid not want to express any opinion @mntil he consulted with some other of the mem- bers of his lodge. . General Disapproval Expressed. Mr. C. A. Berkicy, who is the chief of the Society of S. and D. of Abraham, said that the determination of the ministers to stop what they pleased to call “double funerals” would not in any way interfere with his order, as they had their own hall, and they could conyeniently hold their own services. He said that there was a large membership in his order, and that those who died would even prefer having their funerals con@ucted from their own hall. Many other members of the Ancient Order of Knights of, Jerusa- lem, of the Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows and other secret societies were asked their opinion concerning the ques- tion of Sunday funerals, and expressed The Star’s representative their disaporoval of the reform proposed by the clergymen, At the monthly meeting of these socia- .ties, which will be held during next week, it is expected that this question will be brought up for discussion among the soci- ety people, and they wMl take some action as to what will be their course in the fu- ture as to the manner of conducting fu- neral services. aie SS Ss Mrs. Briggs and the Saloon Question. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I doubt whether anything ever published in The Star made so many people furiousiy an- gry as did the report in this eventng’s paper of the protest entered by Mrs. Briggs against the enforcement of_the city’s bulld- ing regulations. In it she claims that she increased the permitted four feet of depth in her porch to five feet ‘three inches and inclosed it with lattice work, instead of leaving it open, as the permit required, be- cause she wished “‘to blot out from the sight of the pupils of the school the horrible pano- rama that @ bar room offers.” Now it so happens that the whole length of the square in which this “pharmacy” is located (D street between 6th and 7th southeast) and which Mrs. Briggs claims is peopled by “speak-easies” and governed by the saloon element, is entirely occupied by private fam- ilies, people as quiet and respectable as one can find anywhere in this city. Opposite to the “pharmacy” and directly in view from its doors and windows are Mrs. Briggs’ house and grounds, and no stretch of vision, how- ever keen, can possibly gain a glimpse of anything like a bar room. True, there is sS&loon at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street, but to judge by what I see while passing. at least twice a day, it seem@ to be about as well conducted as such places ever are, since I have never yet seen an tn- toxicated person near or heard of any dis- turbance connected with it, z The root of the whole trouble seems to be Mrs. Briggs’ utter disregard of the rights and well-being of others aggravated by ‘he idea that she is above the laws made for the rest of mankind.
