Statement of the Editor of the United American. The editor of the United American hereby notifies the public that be entirely and without reservation withdraws the charge, heretofore published by him, against Mr. C. D.Kenny,the tea and coffee merchant of this “city and Baltimore, that he (Mr. Kenny) discriminated in his business in favor of Catholics and against Protestants. This charge we now believe was. based upon mis- infcrmation ané consequently is groundless. The editor withdraws the charge in this yublic manner in order that he may repair, as far as possible, whatever injustice may have been done to Mr. Kenny by publishing said charge. We believe, after investiga- ticn, that he does not allow any question of his employes’ religion to influence him in engaging or discharging them. ANDREW JACKSON BOYER, Editcr United American.

For several months past some of the rep- utable dealers in butter in the District have been annoyed and injured by the habit many smaller dealers got into of seli- Ing imitation manufactures, such as but- terine and oleomargarine, and represe:-ting them to their customers as being the gen- uine article of the particular grades udver- tised by the regular butter dealers. Th¢ custom became so widespread and general, it is sald, that several nundred pounds of imitetion butter was disposed of daily by means of such misrepresentation. This reprehensible habit not only injured the Teputation of the dealers in the genuine Product, but was an Imposition on the con- sumer, and an offense against the revenue laws of the United States, which provide that all imitations of butter shall be plain ly stamped as such not only on the orizinal Packages. but upon the wrapper of any quantity sold, the penalty being for & vio- lation of this provision in retail sales a fine of $50 and imprisonment. Where. the law is violated in wholesale transactions, the penalty is $1,000 fine and imprisonment. Many Canes Fully Made. ‘The probabilities now are strongly in fa- vor of a number of local dealers being ar- raigned to answer for the violation of this law in its provisions relating to both wuole- sale and retail traffic. Several gentlemen, including consumers as well as dealers in genuine butter, determined, some weeks ago, to investigate the practice described above, ang to vigorously prosecute every ‘one who might be found engaged in it. De- tectives were put at work and quietly pur- sued their investigations in all sections of Washingt-n. They visited place after place, made purchases of what was represented to be genuine butter; secured it from dealers without any evidence to show that it was other than the real product, and then had these purchases analyzed, with the result that in over thirty cases, thus far reported, the stuff sold as butter was butterine or oleomargarine. The local internal revenue officials had their attention called to this condition of affairs a long time ago, but merchants in- terested complain that up to this time noth- ing has been heard from them, either in the shape of prosecutions or reports. The failure of the internal revenue peo- ple to act, however, has not deterred the private individuals engaged in the work from continuing it with vigor, and the re- sult will be seen in a few days, when fuily Prepared cases against a number of deai- ers will be presented to District Attorney Birney for action. Some time ago there were several cases against dealers charged with the violation of the oleomargarine laws tried in the Police Court and the prisoners sent to the grand jury, by which they were promptly indict- ed. District Attorney Birney said then that he would prosecute the alleged offenders tc the full extent of the law, but a week after the grand jury had been dismissed, he went into court before Judge Cole and entered a rolle pros. in each of the cases. It is said that this action on District Attorney Bir- ney’s part was due to instructions from the Treasury Department, where it is also said the parties charged with the offenses quiet- ly paid the money penalties attached to the violation of the statute in order to escape the undesirable notoriety that trials for the offenses would bring about. ‘The cases now prepared will be pushed to trial. The gentlemen who are interested in eradicating the evil of selling imitation but- ter for the real. thing are determined that the full penalties of the law shall be visited upon every man who is found guilty of vio- lating the statute g ing the sale of oleomargarine or other imitations of butter. SS TO REOPEN THE CHURCH. A Celebration to Be Held by Dr. Luc- cock’s Congregation. ‘Though the improvements and repairs to Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, at the corner of 4th and B streets southeast, are practically completed, the congregation will not occupy the main auditorium tomorrow, but will worship in the lecture room, and then, on the following Sunday, November 10, occupy the church for the first time in some months for divine worship, and at the same time celebrate the autumnal communion. As a preparation for the opening day every evening next week Is to be occupied by emi- nent local Presbyterian divines. The pro- gram is as follows: Monday, November 4, “The Lord’s Supper and the Lord’s Joy.” Rev. W. C. Alexander, D. D., pastor of West Street Church; Tuesday, ‘The Lord’s Sup- per and Higher Service,” Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, D. D., of the Church of the Cove- nant; Wednesday, “The Lord's Supper and Fellowship,” Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, pastor of the Western Church; Thursday, “The Lord's Supper and Christian Confes- sion,” the pastor, Rev. George N. Luccock, ‘he Lord’s Supper as a Test Rey. Wallace Radcliffe, D. D., of the New York Avenue Church, and Saturday, ‘The Lord's Supper as a Means of Spiritual Nourishment and Growth,” Rev. D. W. Skellenger, pastor of the Sixth Church. Monday evening of this week a Men's League was organized at Metropoli- tan Church similar to those already in the city. Work was begun on the improvements the middle of last July, and has continued with- out interruption since then. About $6,000 has been spent, all of which has been sub- scribed and some hundreds extra. The fund was secured by adopting the monthly pledge system. On the exterior, the walls have re- ceived several coats of paint, besides pencil- ing, and the woodwork as well. The iron fence which formerly surrounded the church-yard has been taken down and a curbing substituted for it. Granolithic walks have taken the place of the brick side- walk running around the structure and also within the grounds belonging to the church. It is, however, on the interior that the most noticeable improvement has taken place. There the seating capacity, which was for- merly Inadequate, has been increased by the addition of a new gallery at the eastern end of curved shape, and the ends extending part way up the sides. This gallery has a seating capacity of 250, making the total accommodation of the auditorium 950. The auditorium is also refrescoed, and there have been put in new windows of orna- mental cathedral glass. Electric lighting has been introduced, and the plumbing com- pletely overhauled. Hereafter a water motor is to furnish power for pumping the organ. a EPWORTH WORKERS. Annual Convention of the Washing- ton District Next Week.

Lafayette Square Opera House.—Those who remember the merry “King Pomery Sec” in the “Isle of Champagne” will have an opportunity next week of seeing him in the role of a legitimate comedian. Thomas Q. Seabrooke will present at the Lafayette Square Opera House next week the new comedy by Harry and Edward Paulton, en- titled “A World of Trouble.” Mr. Sea- brooke is credited with having made a dis- tinet stecess in what may be described as a@ new venture. This season he has already played in Boston and Chicago, where he was highly commended for his artistic work, some critics going so far as to declare that he was perhaps the best comedian in America. “A World of Trou- ble” ts a farcial comedy with an ingenlous plot. It concerns the mishaps of Middle- ten Simpkin, a retired Englishman, who is the victim of mistaken identity. The play is said to abound in strange complications and humorous surprises, and the fun arises tkrough a series of cross purposes. Mr. Seabrooke has a character in which his pecullar gift of humor is said to find ample Scope for its exhibition. Manager James Jay Brady is said to have a good company in the support of Mr. Seabrooke. In the cast are Miss Ffolliott Paget, Miss Jean- ette Lowrie, Miss Mattie Earle, Miss Daisy Lovering, Miss Isabel Haslam, and Messrs. William Herbert, Thomas Oberle, Adolph Jackson, Edwin Nalod, Roy Fairchild and W. H. McCormack.

Matinees will be given on Wednesday ard Friday. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—The coming week at Allen's Marie Wainwright will present an unusually varied and well contrasted repertory. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and at the Wednesday matinee Miss Wainwright will be seen in her most recent success, “His Puritan Wife,” a story of life among fashionable people in New York today. “His Puritan Wife” is said to tell a bold and passionate story. Miss Wainwright has the character of a young, neglected wife, and has earned an- other triumph. Thursday the star will ap- pear for the only time in Tom Taylor's brilliant comedy drama, “An Unequal Match,” in which she made such an extraor- dinarily strong impression on the closing night of her engagement last season. Fri- day and Saturday nights and the Saturday matinee will be devoted to a gorgeously costumed revival of Sheridan Knowles’ best and most famous comedy, “The Love Chase.” It is only this season that Miss Wainwright has added the character of the impetuous and fascinating Constance to her repertory, but her reception in New York was most gratifying. Miss Wainwright has the assistance of the strongest company she has ever had. It is headed by Nathaniel Hartwig, Barton Hill nd Hattie Russell, and includes Gertrude El- lott, Dorothy ‘Thornton, Jane Holly, Kate Bromley, Joseph Zahner, Cecil Magnus, Alfred Burnham, John’ Borden, Walter Crane and a promising young Washington- ian, Geoffrey Stetn.

There has been gathered togeth- er, under the banner of Gus Hill's familiar name, a group of the best finished perform- ers known in the vaudevilie world, whose acts Introduce as great a variety as it is possible to crowd into- one performance. ‘There is no sameness about the novelties. Mlle. Eugenie Petrescu, who has astonished eudiences in all of the great European cities with her inexplicable feats of hand balancing and contortion, leads the array. Her ¢alary alone is $500 a week. She is the peer of ail others, and recognizes no rivals.

Leslie, with his $10,000 challenge trcupe of perform- ing dogs; McCale and Daniels, the Irish tourists; Gray and Conway, character sketch artists; Bonnie Lottie, the singing and danc- ing sunbeam; Fields and Salina, the eccen- tric duo; Gus Hill,champion club swinger of the world; Little Dick, the boy champion baton juggler, and the farce-comedy tri- umph, “The Twentieth Century Barber.” Odd Fellows’ Hall.—Prof. Markos will give another spiritualistic seance at Odd Fe Hall, 7th street between D and E s rorthwest, Sunday evening at S o'clock. will duplicate at this seance all of the great- est miracles of the most celebrated medi- ums, and will introduce some of the spirit manifestations of the Mahatmas. Sealed message reading will be one of the features of the sitting. Vaughn Class Concert.—Calvary Baptist Sunday school house was filled last evening to the very doors by an appreciative and fashionable audience, the occasion being the fifth annual concert of the Vaughn class, one of the largest and most successfu classes in the adult department of the Cal- vary Baptist Sunday school. The program which -was rendered was filled with good things of all sorts, and every number was given a hearty reception and an enthusiastic encore. The best received numbers were Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes’ solo, Mr. Elphonzo Youngs’ cornet solo, and the musical selec- tions by the Madrids, consisting of Messrs. Holmes, Yundt, Judson and Gallaher. Mrs. Noyes sang with great expression and clear- ness, and charmed the audience by her per- sonal appearance. The playing of the Mad- rids was of the highest order, and they were encored again and again. Miss Florence Mc- Nelly’s contralto solo was also excellently rendered, and Mr. J. J. Fisher sang in his usual forceful manner. Mr. Percy S. Foster rendered a couple of comic songs, and Mrs. Frank Bryam played Mendelssohn's “Rondo Capriccioso” very acceptably on the piano. The National Trio, consisting of Messrs. Phil. E. Baer, Elmo Jasper and John Baer, also sang. The literary part of the program was looked after by Miss Ethel T. Camp, in readings and recitations, and Mr. David C. Bangs. Mr. Bangs |s a great favorite at Calvary, and repeated his success of former years. Palmer Cox's Brownies.—Inez Mecusker, Ida Mulle, Lena Merville, Georgie Denin, Frank Deshon and Sol. Solomon are well- known principals in C. B. Jefferson, Klaw & Erlanger’s gorgeous spectacular production of “Palmer Cox’s Brownies," which begins an engagement at the Lafayette Square Theater on Monday, November 11. Columbia Musical Parlors.—The improve- ments that are now being made to the frent of the building do not in any wise interfere with the exhibition of the graph- ophones, the kinetoscopes and the kineto- graphophones inside the beautiful parlors. Attendance this week has been much in excess of last week, which is due to the fact that the attractions are greater. “Tue Cyclone Dance" by the famous Senorita Lola Ybarre, which is making such a hit in New York city, is now to be seen on one of the kinetoscopes. Illustrated Lectures—Friday evening next at the Western Presbyterian Church, H street above 19th, the pastor, Rev.

THE Civic CENTER All the Old Officers’ Re-elected for Another Term. Several Changes in the Committees— The Free Library to Be Shortly Opened. The annual meeting of the Center Council of the Civic Center was held at the Foundry Church yesterday afternoon, the Rev. Alex- ander Kent presiding in the absence of President John M-Gregory. Beyond the election of officers only routine business was transacted, and the meeting adjourned after a brief session. Among those present were Rev. N. H. Eggleston, Miss Katharine P.Hos- mer,Miss Alice C. Fletcher, Miss Josephine A. Clark, Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, Mrs. S. E. Stephens, Prof. E. A. Fay, Mr. John T. Doyle, Mr. Edwin Willits, Mr. F. L. Siddons, Dr. Arthur McDonald,Mr. B. Pickman Mann, Miss Florence P. Spofford and others. Upon the motion of Mr. Siddons, the pres- ent officers of the council were re-elected, and upon his motion, after he had explained that Prof. Gregory would decline a re-elec- tion as chairman’ of the council, the Rev. S. M. Newman was elected as chairman, and Mr. Willits stated that he thought he would be able to persuade Prof. Gregory to retain the presidency of the Center. Changes in the Committees. Mr. B. Pickman Mann finding it impossible to continue as chairman of the committee on ways and means, Miss Spofford was ap- pointed to that position, and Miss Hosmer was made an additional member of the com- mittee. Miss Spofford was also made chair- man of the committee on pauperism, in place of Mr. Mann, who found it impossible to serve cn the committee, and Mrs. Grace Kén- dall was added to the committee. The resig- ration of Chairman W. H. Baldwin, jr., of the committee on labor was also accepted. Miss Hosmer presented a communication from the National Municipal League, invit- ing the Civic Center to affiliate with it, and, upon the motion of Mr. Siddons, the invita- tion was accepted. The various committees were then called for reports, and the chairmen reported much gratifying progress. Mr. Siddons re- ported that the District Commissioners had promised to continue the system of parks in the extension of the streets and avenues of the city. Free Library to Be Opened. Miss Clark, from the committee on adult education, stated that the free library would be opened about January 1. It would, she said, be located at 1515 H street, and distributing branches would be estab- lished in various parts of the city. The appointment of a competent librarian would be soon announced, and more than $2,000 were already on hand. The library would be very glad, said Miss Clark, to re- ceive donations of books and money. :. Siddons announced that the National Civil Service Reform League would meet here the Sth of December for a two days’ session, and he said the Civic Center would be invited to send delegates to its meeting.

In announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Mr. Kent stated that the annual meeting of the Civic Center would he held next Friday at the Congregational Church. —— SAM AND TOM. M How Two Belligerent Nexroes Were Cured ef Fighting. “I do not know that my ovinion,” said yesterday Maj. Cooper of the miscellaneous division in the Inter‘or Department, who has been designated by Secretary Smith to make a thorough inspection of the Hot Springs reservation, “4s entitled ‘to ‘very much cor.sideration, but I think that if Cor- bett and Fitzsimmons want to smash each other all to pieces they ought to have a com- plete and convenient opportunity to do that very thing. “The affair makes me think of something I saw when I was a little boy down on the plantation in Georgia,” continued Major Cooper. “My father, among a lot of slaves, had two lusty big fellows, Tom and Sam, who were forever fighting. One day my father gave them some work to do and rode off to town horseback on some matter of business. When he returned he found that Sam and Tom had been fighting all the morning and had done no work. There was a mild glitter in the old gentleman's eyes when he learned this, and he called the two men before him. ““Tom," he said ‘you go and get me a good, stout tar rope.” “ ‘Sam, you go and get me three rawhides.’ “In a few minutes the two darkeys brought the rawhides and the tar rope and the my: tery deepened. Laying the rawhides in a row on the ground, the old gentleman took the tar rope, stood Sam and Tom face to face and lashed their left wrists together so stoutly that nothing but a knife conld get them apart. Then he put a rawhide in the right hand of each of them and stood off for a moment to survey the situation. “Then, picking up the third rawhide, he said: ‘Now, you two onery cusses, if you don’t lick each other, I'll lick you. One, two, three, begin!’ “At first Sam held back and Tom began. ‘Then Tom held up and Sam whipped a hittle. They were both trying to let each other off. The old gentleman seeing this touched up first one and then the other, and in a few minutes Sam and Tom were larruping 2ach other in dead earnest, and the old gentle- man was laughing until the tears rolled down his cheeks. It was the most remark- able sight I ever saw. Those two fellows kept at each other for about two hours, with occasional intervals for breath and’ rest: Then they were released, and as long as T knew either of them they were the best of friends. Never once after that did they give each other a blow. It was one of the best lessons they had in all their lives, and I think one of the same sort would be a good thing for Corbett and Fitzsimmons.” ——— Johnson’s Cyclopaedia, Now nearing completion; hence the latest.

The arrangement .of the club house and its numerous rooms, apartments end Falls gives an opportunity for attrac- tive and effective display, which is being taken advantage of in every possible direc- tion. The consequences undoubtedly will be that the artistic features of the car- nival will be none the less striking than its substantial success. There were a number of meetirgs of the subcommittees las night, at which reports of an exceedingly gratifying nature were received. The com- mittee on donations and subscriptions an- nounced that merchants in New York, Bos- ton, Phi'adelphia and Baltimore, as well as the local busiress men, were showing their interest in the comirg entertainment in a very substantial manner, and the consign- ments of goods, as well as cash contribu- tions, were. already being received. The committee on booths and privileges report- €d that numercus applications for space had been received and acted upon, and that complete allotment had been arranged. Tonight will be a gala one at the club house, as the third of the successful and popular carnival smokers will be given in the main pariors, and several of the sub- committees will hold meetings previous to the beginring of the fun. Prof. Fanciulll will bring a picked orchestra from the Ma- rine Band, and it is expected that his new march, “The Athlete,” which he dedicated to the Columbia Athletic Club, and with which the carnival will be opened, will be played for the enjoyment of those in whose honor it was compcsed. There will be reci- tations and dialogues by Mr. J. Barton Mil- ler and Mr. Guy V. Collins, comic songs by Mr. Geo. O'Connor, piano ‘and vocal solos by Mr. McEnaney and Mr. J. J. Fisher, banjo pyrotechnics by Cullen and Collins, and Mr. Sam Ireland will repeat an enter- tainment similar to that which gave 80 much pleasure at the last smoker. —_———-—_ ANTI-SALOON CONVENTION.

University of Virginia Men Meet to Help Alma Mater. It is evident that the meeting this evening to devise ways and means for assisting the University of Virginia in the losses it sus- tained by fire last Sunday will be g great success in every way. The meeting will be held at Willard Hall and will be called to order by Secretary Herbert, the president of the local alumni association, under whose auspices the meeting has been called. It is expected that almost all the members of the association will be present, and special in- vitations have also been sent to many prom- inent men of this city who are interested in the cause of higher education. The chair- man of the faculty of the university, Prof. Thornton, has notified Dr. Glazebrook, sec- retary of the alumni association, that he would be present, and state the losses by last Sunday’s fire in detail, and explain the plans of the faculty for the future. Chair- man Lee of the executive committee has had large charcoal drawings made of the uni- versity as it stood before the fire, and photo- graphs showing the ruins will also be shown.
