The Cuban sympathy committee met in Metzerott's last night, with Corporal Tanner presiding, and John L. Steele secretary.

The secretary was directed to pro- cure a supply of these documents for use with Congress. Letters of regret were re- ceived from Dr. Domer, Dr. Rankin and Gen. L. T. Michener.

The funeral of Mr. Benjamin Messer, who died at his residence, Anacostia Heights, Wednesday morning, will take place from his late residence tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. He was one of the old and esteemed citizens of the District, having lived here over thirty years. For twenty- five years he was an employe of the fourth auditor's office. ——_ c. E. Mecting Tonight. The committee of ‘6 received a letter yes- terday ufternoon from Mr. William Shaw, treasurer of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, stating that he would be in Wash- irgton today and would mect the committee at the same time with Secretary Baer. Mr. Shaw delivered an address in Philadelphia last evening and will be in Washington to- @ay and this evening. If the officers of the Christian Endeavor Union find it necessary to arrange an overflow meeting in connec- tion with the mass meeting to be held at Cal- vary Baptist Church tonight, Mr. Shaw will doubtless be requested to speak. A tele- gram was also received from Mr. H. J. Ray- more, treasurer of the Pennsylvania Chris- tian Endeavor Union, informing the com- mittee that Mr. Raymore would also be in the city today. It will thus be seen that there is no dearth of Christian Endeavor talent of the highest order available for the Meetings tonight. a Special Tours to Atlanta via Seaboard Air Line, The Washington and Norfolk Steamboat Company In connecticn with the Seaboard Air Line are arranging for a series of holi- day tours to Atlanta and return at the rate of 3 including trensportation in both directions; state room on iron steamer New- pert News, board at Hygeia Hotel, sleep- ing car accommodations for the night he- tween Portsmouth ard Atlanta going and returning, and meals en route in both di rections over the Seaboard Air Line.

Daniel Murray’s Life a Strangely Un- fortui According to the te One, Story Told in a Legal Document. On behalf of Daniel J. Murray, Attorney Charles W. Darr has filed a bill in equity against Mary Hilton, in which grave charges are made against Mrs. Hilton, the mcther of the complairant, and a deed con- veying the complainant's interest in his father’s estate to his mother is asked to be set aside. The complainant states that his father, Patrick Murray, died intestate in December, 1872, about six months previous to the birth of complainant, the estate consisting of lot 10, square 38; part of lot 24, square 100, and part of lot 1, square 59, now valued at $30,000, Three cther children there are, says the complainant, and he says that when he was about five years of age his mother married one James H. Hilton, and that shortly afterward he was placed in St. Mary’s Industrial School at Baltimore, Md., as a charity scholar, although he charges that his mother was able to pay for his tuition and board out of his interest in his father's estate. There Six Years. At this school Murray says he remained six years, his mother, hp asserts, not visit- ing him more than once a year, and con- tributing nothing In the way of clothing, food or nourishment for him. The com- plainant also states that he contracted at the school a disease while engaged in mak- ing cigars, and after suffering from it a year and a half, the superintendent of the school. discovering, Murray says, that his mother was and had been well able to pay for his maintenance, compelled her to remove him from the school. At a Hospital. While at the school, Murray says, his edu- cation was greatly neglected, and that after he was removed therefrom his mother ccn- fined him in a remote room of her house for six months, during which time, he says, he suffered intensely from the disease, and without medical attention. Then he was taken to the Children’s Hospital, this city, where he remained eighteen months as a charity patient. And, he charges, his mother misrepresented his age to the hos- pital authorities, making it but twelve when he really was fifteen years of age. Upon leaving the hospital, Murray clains to have been sent to school at Alexandria for a year, after which his mother brought him home, and from that time until June of last year he attended a private school here. Signed a Paper. All this time Murray claims to have been kept In ignorance of both his age and of bis interest in his father's esiate, his sister Mary, he says, first telling him of his age June 4, 1894. And then, he says, his moth- er having discovered that he had been fi- formed of his age persuaded him to sign a deed conveying to her his interest in his father's estate. She told him, he declares, that the instrument amounted to nothing, as very little would come to him. She also informed him, he charges, that she merely wished to obtain control of the estate that she might keep it intact for himself and his brother and sisters, and that she would not allow her two children by Hilton to have any of it. And when his mother. took him to her attorney's office to sign the deed, Murray asserts that the attorney told him his interest in the estate would not exceed $200, but that his mother gave him $600. Being totally ignorant of the value of his interest, Murray says, he signed the deed. But recently oiscovering, he declares, that his interest was worth at the time $7,500, he prays that tne deed be declared null and void, and that his mother be required to account for all moneys received by her. Spesking of the case, Mr. J. J. Darling- ton, Mrs. Hilten’s attorney, declared to a Star reporter today that there was nothing in it, and that it was similar to a bill of complaint filed some time ago by another o? Mrs. Hilton's children, which bill, said Mr. Darlington, the court dismi d., Ss Criticism of the Mail Deliveries. To the. Editor of The Evening Star: I noticed in your Issue of last evening an article referring to the city post office and its management as being “simply perfect,” and I want to remark that, in spite of vigor+ ous protests on our part, there are some features of such management that are not at all satisfactory to business men—especial- ly professional men, who transact their bus- iness through correspondence, as do patent attorneys and claim agents. Heretofore the first delivery was at 8:30, which permitted us to begin the day’s business a little before 9 a.m.—thus gaining some very valuable time during the busy season; now the first deliv- ery rarely, if ever, reaches my office before 9 o'clock. It is true this delivery may con- tain some few letters which would not reach me until the second delivery (11:30) if the carrier started on his morning trip a half hour earlier; but as all the mail in the first delivery is now held back, I can do nothing before 9 a.m. Heretofore also, there was a delivery at 8:30 p.m., with another at5. Except to very late workers, the latter was useless, but the 8:30 mail almost every day brought letters which could be answered before we closed our office, and frequently brought very im- portant mail matter, which it was necessary to file in the government departments be- fore 4 p.m. that day. Under tne present management these two late deliveries have been consolidated into one, which reaches my office almost invariably at or a trifle after 4, entirely too late to file any papers with the departments, and also too late to consider and an- swer letters. It barely gives me time to acknowledge the receipt of létters which are to be answered the following day, or to add a postscript to letters already written and press copied, and which postscript does not appear In the letter book as part of the original issue. I would not write you this if it were not that protests seem to do no good. Furthermore, with the above-mentioned difficulties and disadvantages occurring daily—not mere- ly occasionally—professional men can hardly sit {dle and remain silent when the manage- ment of the city post office is styled “simply perfect.” Many thousands of dollars’ worth of stamps are used monthiy by men in this city who will concur fully in what I have said above, and we appeal to your paper as the only medium remaining, after protests, through which the ev remedied. — Their Vows Renewed. Yesterday being the Feast of the Pr tation of the Blessed Virgin, a large num- ber of the Catholic clergy of this city went over to Baltimore for the purpose of renew- ing their vows, or pries at the chapel of St. Mary’s Seminary, "e most of them received ordination as pastors.

Lawyers Move for Engineer Smith's Release. In the case of Wm. T. Smith, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad engineer, who was sent to the workhouse by the Police Court several days ago for running his engine across R street without having a flagman at the crossing, Attorneys Hamilton & Colbert yes- terday afternoon filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and Smith was released by Judge Cole, pending the hearing upon the petition, which was set down for the 30th in- stant. The crossing in question is in Eckington, and the petitioner, really the Baltimore and Ohfo Railroad Company, claims that it was agreed between the parties that the right of way of the railroad there should be private property. It is also claimed on the part of the petitioner that R, S and T streets through Eckington have never been con- demned across said alleged private way, and it is further claimed by the petitioners that ‘the law alleged to have been violated, an act of the legislative assembly, was limited to the streets in the cities of Washington and Georgetown, and did not apply to those lying beyond their limits. It {s contended, too, that the act in question is unconstitu- tional and void, as being inconsistent with the police regulations. ee AMUSEMENTS. Academy of Music.—Last night a good- sized audience witnessed an excellent pre- sentation of John Banim’s play, ‘Damon and Pythies," as interpreted by Messrs. Hanford and Spencer and Miss Nora O'Brien. Mr. Henford made a vigorous and effective Damon, and Mr Spencer was an effective Pythias, while Miss O'Brien found a good part in Calanthe. The other char- acters were well sustained. This evening “Romeo ard Juliet” will be presented, with Mr. Spencer as Romeo, Mr. Hanford as Mercutio and Miss O’Brien in the trying part of Juliet. This is the character in which sho made her debut in Baltimore, and for which she was highly praised. “The Old Homestead.”—At the Lafayeite Square Opera House next week will be pre- sented, in a new dress, that most popular of all American plays, Denman Thompson's beautiful story of New England life. This is one of the undying plays, and one that you never tire of seeing. It will be staged with new surroundings, and is said to be more entertaining than ever. After un ab- sence from our local stage of two season: the familicr play will contain many new features of interest. It cannot fail to be the same interesting and attractive story, and will be mad» the more realistic by its additional scenic effects. During the visit here the usual matinees will be given on Wednesday and Saturday, and a holiday performance on Thanksgiving afternoon. — They Were V tors. There was a time, several years ago, when Washingtonians who went to Alex- andria and walked on the wrong side of the street cr talked a little loud wer? hauled up before a police justice and fined. The fines so pai¢ went a good ways toward pay- ing the salgries of the town officials, and today an Alexandrian was given a dose of Washington justice. Thomas Johnson was the nume of the man, while his wife, Kate, was also charged. He is a stalwart man, being about six feet tall, while his wife is a very small woman. Yesterday they were on Pennsylvania av- enue near the Capitol, and pedestrians who witnessed their conduct thought that the wife was rot properly treating her hus- band. What.she was doing was all right, so she thought, but when Policeman Waish arrested him that was another thing, and she then took her husband's part. Tom was under the influence of liquor and was loud and profane, and when the officer arrested him his wife not only took bis part with her tongue, but she wanted to give an exhibition of her pugilistic pow- ers on the blue-coated guardian. All the way to the patrol box, and then to the station, Mrs. Johnson continued her abusive lauguage, end when the station was reached they were put in adjoining cells. Tom was so much under the influ- ence of liquor that he soon fell asleep, but his better half had no time for sleeping. She ccntinued her loud talk and prevented the officers from getting their necessary res “Judge, your honor,” sald the little wo- man to Judge Kimball, “my husband has not a good mind when he’s drinking. I don’t let him drink when I know it.” The husband also made a statement. “T live at No. ) Fairfax street, Alexan- dria,” he said, “and I came over here yes- terday with my wife.” “And got to drinking?” “Yes, sir.” Johnson was fined $10 and his wife was released. Close of the Universalist Fair. The annual reunion and fair of the Chureh of Our Father closed last evening after a very successful run of three nights. The best program of the series was ren- dered during the evening, the feature heing the living pictures from ‘Mother Goose, the participants being Miss Jessie Camp- bell, Master Jimmie Rogers, Miss Margery Keefe, Master Harold Tracey, Miss Dot Brooks and Master Percy Campbell. A very entertaining and amusing part of the program was furnished by the ‘Six Grand- mothers,” the litle ones taking part in this being under six years of age. They were Misses Mary Rogers, Helen Williams, Louise Alexander, lelen Burkhardt and Mergaret Jenkins, a diminutive tot of four years, who hails from Baltimore. A musi- cal program was also rendered by Master Willie Newton, Mrs. Clifford Howard, Mrs. Burkhardt, Miss Webb and Messrs. Mun- dell and Gottwals. A large number of peo- ple were present, and the projectors of the affair are very much pleased with the financial outcome. —_ Were Tramps. Four strangers in the city, alleged tramps, were in the Police Court today as va- grants, and they plead guilty. Three of them, who gave their nemes as Harry Evans, James Gill and James Sullivan, were seen together on B street northeast, and when Policeman Dyer approached they broke and ran. The prisoners had nothing to say and Judge Kimball sent them down for thirty days. Peter Macklin was found begging on F street. He was anxious to beg himself out of the toils, but was un- successful, and a sentence of thirty days was imposed. a Donnelly’s License. On behalf of Uriah W. Painter, Attorney Nathaniel Wilson has filed a petition for an injunction restraining the excise board from granting a liquor licerse to James D. Donnelly. The defendant is the proprietor of a grocery store at 14th and H streets, and for several years has regularly applied for < license to sell liquors, it is said, and the residents of the neighborhood object to the license being granted on the ground that there are other places in the imme- diate neighborhood where liquors are sold. The point is also made against Donnelly that his place is within four hundred feet of a school house, the Emerson Institute. But he obtained a license, it is said, upon ion rendered by the attorney for the t to the effect that his place having been established before the passage of the present law, he was entitled to a license, and it is that license which he now asks may be renewed. The petitioner claims, however, that Donnelly’s license once hav- ing been rejected, his place thereby became a new one in contemplation of law. oa ee Fine Horses.

THE TEACHERS’ BAZAAR Arrangements for aMany Features Now Oomplated. Musical and Militasy Features—Meet- ing of the Exeowtive Committee —Many Receipts. At a meeting of the-executive committee of the teachers’ bazaar, held last evening in the Franklin Schdol building, it was announced that the Secretary of the Navy had ordered the United States Marine Band to be present on the opening evening, De- cember 2. Professor Fanciulli has com- pleted a march, which {s to be his gift to the teachers’ fund, entitled the “Goddess of Liberty,” dedicated to the teachers of the public schools of the District of Colum- bia. Dr. F. R. Lane, chairman of the re- ception committee, reported arrangements in progress for the inauguration exercises, in which the Commissioners, trustee: patrons and members of the citizens’ com- mittee will participate. Mr. J. R. Marshall of the firm of Horn- blower & Marshall, has prepared elaborate plans for the disposition of floor space and for decoration. Each division and high school Is assigned to its appropriate place in the general scheme and allowed, within certain limitations, to arrange its exhibit in the most attractive way, subordinating lccal color and decoration to the general effect sought to be obtained. Detatled descriptions of the decorations will be given later. The music committee, through Miss A, E. Scanimel, announced that the Sixth Ca alry Band at Fort Myer would probably oc- cupy the music stand one evening by pe: mission of the Secretary of War. An or- chestra of eighteen musicians will furnish concert music each evening. The music committee, Messrs. W. H. Daniel, F. T. Howe and D. G. Pfeiffer, have arranged a short program of musical features for each night, while Mrs. Clara Baker Smith has charge of the other at- tractions not musical. The cooking teachers will publish an at- tractive volume, entitled ‘Recipes Strung Together for the Teachers’ Bazaar,” which will contain a collection of the recipes used in the teaching of cookery, and also the choicest productions in the same line of all the leading hotels of Washington. The book Is to be edited by Mr. Henry L. West and published by Mr. H. H. Upton of the Central High School, and is about ready to be put on sale. It is designed to be not only a souvenir of the bazaar, but in Itself to be valuable. Some Arrangements. Each division is arranging a reception for its evening, to which trustees, ex-trustees and the prominent citizens of the division are-to be specially invited. The teachers wish on these occasions to meet as many of their former pupils as possible, making the occasion a sort of reunion. Mrs, W. H. Hoeke of the alumn! committee will have a subcommittee of ex-teachers in attendance each night. Mr. B. T. Janney, chairman committee on order, reported complete police arrange- ments. Mr. Allison Naflor announces the following Lregram of visiting organizations: Tuesday, December Capitol Hill night, the Fenci- hles and the sixth battalion, D. C. N. G.

C. N. G., with field music; Friday, December 6, Mor- ton Cadets. Mr. Paraker Mann assumes the chairman- ship of the art committee, in place of Mr. E. C. Mosser, who retires on account of the death of his father. The work of arranging the hall is to be be- gun next Tuesday, in order that ample time will be allowed to properly arrange details for the opening night. A committee was ap- pointed to urge upon the board of school trustees the desirability of closing the High Schools at 1 p.m. each day while the bazaar is in progress, because of the burden of work that falls on the High School teachers. An- other committee was named to select a speaker to formally open the bazaar. Musical Fedturen, The music and entertainment features of the bazaar promise to be unusually at- tractive. The bazaar will be opened each evening with an interesting program, be- givnirg at 7 o'clock and lasting exactly thirty minutes, leaving the rest of the time for the regular busiress of the fair. The services of the following organizations, mu- sicians und cthers have been offered, an: will be assigned to the different evening: The United States Marine Band, Fifth Cavalry Band, Fourth United Siates Ar- tilery Band, Donch’s Orchestra of twenty ple Mt.

They are pretty and simple in design, each having a tiny bell on the end, The first division's spe- ees will be toys, and the badges indicate this. ——_>___ Answering the Bell. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The practice of hucksters, white and negro, to go through the streets of Capitol Hill yellirg their wares all the time, and also detaching their assistant to ring all the house bells, lest the inmates be deaf and dumb, has become a plague intolerable. During the inhabiting season the house- maid is kept constuntly answering the bell for these people, and after our return for the winter we find our door bells broken dcwn, probably by the same class, includ- ing victuals beggars and other beggar: who have been ringing at the empty house all summer. It is the business of the po- ice to guarantee every home from being scized by trespassers for a shor without license. I know of no city, at least in the nerth, which is afflicted like Washington with this class, which regards another's home as a place to do business in.

Closing Sessions of the Columbia Baptist Association. With last night’s session the Columbia Baptist Association closed its convention, which has been going on in Brookland for three days. Fruitful results have followed from this meeting, which in some instances has been more enthusiastic than any of the previous ones. The attendance has never during the convention been as large as it was last night. The church was filled to its utmost, and many were standing during the whole session. The prayer and praise service was led by Mr. R. A. Ford. Young People’s Work. Mr. P. H. Bristow then read the report of the young people’s work. In this it was stated that of the three meetings held dur- ing the past year the first was held at the Calvary Church, at which Dr. McArthur talked on “People, Young People, Baptist Young People.” The second assembly was at Gay Street Church, where Rev. J. J. Muir addressed the society on ‘Our Flag,” and the third meeting was at Anacostia, at which Dr. Geo. Reese gave an interesting talk on “Increase of Influence.” The young people, in their different societies, have done much good work, which every year appears more prosperous. The report as read by Mr. Bristow was unanimously adopted. Following this were one-minute reports from all the churches, namely, Anacostia, Calvary, E Street, East Washington Heights, Fifth, First, Gay Street, Grace, Maryland Avenue, Metropolitan, Mount Tabor, Queenstown and the Second. In every case it was found that the young people were steadily increasing in their work and were showing marked vigor and earnestness. Miss Ella MacLauren of Boston, who has for many years devoted herself to mission- ary work, especially in China, eloquently and ably addressed the association. Sho took as her principal topics “Consecration” and “Self-denial,” and told of the necessity of more foreign missionaries, as it was Christ’s command to “go forth and preach the Gospel in all lands.” She also reminded the association of the pagan countries, in some parts of which the work and suffer- ings of Christ are unknown. In closing, she said: “Let us do as our Master has commanded—Take up your cross and fol- low me. General Acknowledgments.
