Gift to the Battle Ship Indiana, It has been the custom for some of the women’s organizations interested in army and navy matters to present to the new United States vessels some fitting piece of furniture as a reminder of their work and esteem. The latest move along this line is the gift of a handsome Estey organ to the United States battle ship “Indiana” by Mrs. Gen Kelton, Mrs. Bradford and Mrs. Chadwick, representating the Army and Navy League and Union Mission School Association. This present is given by these organizations in memoriam to the late M Harrison, and there has been placed upo the instrument a handsome siiver plate engraved to that effect. ‘The organ is what is known as the Estey “Portable,” and can readily be folded into a space no larger than a small steamer trunk. It is sweet in tone and sufliciently powerful to fill any ship's cabin. The case is made of light oak, and the whole thing attracts much atention, as it is displayed in the window of the ware rooms of the Estey Organ Company’s rep- resentatives here, Messrs. Sanders & Stay- man, 934 F street northwest, of which Mr. Percy 8. Foster is the manager. ee Concert at Fletcher An enjeyable concert was given at Fletcher Chapel, for the benefit of the “mercy and help department” of Fletcher Chapter of the Epworth League, last even- ing. Mrs. Jernie V. Reed, second vice president of the chapter, and at the head of this department, had the concert in charge, and was ably assisted by her com- mittee, Misses Carrie Reiffe, Mamie All- press and Emma Gunnett. The audience was large and apprecistive, and a very con- siderable sum will be realized for the bene- fit of the poor. Among the talent who as- Chapel. sisted in making up the program were: Misses Katie McBride, Florence Becker, Ida O'Neal, Nellie Bischoff, Carrie Reiffe, Jennie Derken, Edna Brenner, Lottie Ray, Miss Wright and Mr. Walter Burke, Mr. Taylor and friends, Mr. Moore and Mr. Smithson. ———S Butter vs. Butterine.

Hall last night. It was an audience composed largety of colored citizens. ‘There were present a score or more of well-known white citizens, among them being Aaron Bradshaw, Lewis Clephane, W. A. Cook and Myron M. Parker. Several prominent republican statesmen had been announced to be present and make speeches, but they were not present. Yet there were many addresses, and some of them remarkably interesting. Mr. W. A. Cook made the opening speech, which was received with lively applause. He was followed by Rev. George W. Lee, who made a rollicking speech abounding in good stories and sharp points. He concluded by saying, “I love Allison (and the crowd cheered). I love McKinley (more applause), and I love many othe-s worthy to be President, but God help Reed to get it.” Mr. Myron M. Parker was next an- nounced. In the course of his remarks he said Andrew Gleeson had induced him three years ago to become a candidate for delegate, and then had done all he could to defeat him. Some one in the audience in- terrupted Mr. Parker to make him declare what his belief was in regard to suffrage in the District of Columbia, and the speak- er said he was in favor of the ballot in the District. He also said he did not want to go pledged to any candidate, but free to act as seemed to him best for the interests of the party and the country. Rev. Walter Brooks made an address, in which he said he could trust Perry Carson to represent the black people in the na- tional convention. L. C. Bailey, who is an anti-Carson candidate for delegate, was called on, but found the audience hostile to him, and could make but little headway. Dr. Purvis made an argument in favor of suffrage in the District, and criticised the administration, saying that Secretary Gres- ham died of remorse for his perfidy to the party. Referring to the President's mes- sage, he remarked that it said a great deal of the atrocities perpetrated on the Ar- menians, but said nothing of the Turks in the south who were burning colored people at the stake. Mr. Perry Carson, who had come in just as Rev. Mr. Lee was saying he wanted a republican “true and tried, dipped and dyed,” to go to the national convention, and whose movements all through the meeting were greeted with constant applause and outcries from his followers, made the clos- ing speech of the evening. Every sentence he uttered was punctuated with uproz rious cpplause. As he was speaking of his serv- ices to the party and his friendship with leading republican statesmen, some one asked him how he stood with Gen. Clarkson. ‘To answer this he said he would tell a story. “Gen. Clarkson,” said Col. Carson, “he used to get shave E Candidate Bailey, who keeps a_ barber shop, sprang‘to his fect. “That ain’t so, he said. “I inquired about it this morning.” “It is so,” responded Carson, “and I'm goin’ to tell it. Gen. Clarkson he used to get shaved in Eailey’s shup. He went in there the other day and says to Harris that’s one of Bailey’s men—what you sen me that picture of Bailey and a campaign song for? Is you all gone back on Ole Perry Carson? Well, Harris he says no, only he thought Bailey wuz a better man. An’ Gen. Clarkson, he say he doan’ come in that bar- ber_shop no moah, nohow, an’ he don't do ees Then Carson started up “John Brown's Body” in a strong voice, and the 500 colored men present whirled in with a vim anid made the ceiling tremble. This was the close of the meeting. Carson had an ovation, nearly every man in the house shaking hands with nim before leaving. —_———__ AMONG THE WORKINGME HMorseshoers Talked of a New Scale of Prices—Officers Elected. The following named have been elected officers for the ensuing term of the Stor masons’ Union, N of Bricklayers’ and Masons’ Union: Edward Ehrmantrout, pres- ident; James Lanigan, vice president; Roy L. Carroll, recording a1. d corresponding sec- retary; Thomas Lanigan, financial secre- tary; James McKnight, treasurer; John T. Bolger, sergeant-at-arms; Benedict Tarrant, deputy William Nesbitt, alternate; B. Arth, Rafael Blazier, Thomas Mutchler, James Walton and John T. Bolger, execu- tive committee. The meeting of Horseshoers’ Union, No. 1, which was held last night, was addressed by National Organizer Weidner of Balti- more, wno came over for the purpose of explaining to the members the advantages of being affiliated with the National Pro- tective Horseshoe: Associati Mr. Weidner’s speech was quite effective, for after he had concluded a motion was made ard adopted that a committee be appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws in con- formity with those of the national associa- tion. It was also determined to elect per- manent officers after the adoption of the rew constituticn. i The assertion was made that prices for shoeing are much lower in Washington than in other large cities, and it is probable that a new scale of prices will be arranged. Officers for the Pioneer Laundry Work- ers’ Assembly to servé for the ensuing term were elected last night as follows: Master workman, W. H. Wilder; worthy foreman, Miss Lizzie Hoersch; recording secretary, W. V. Finck; financial secretary, J. W. Slater; treasurer, Mrs. M. S. Wilder; statis- tician, Miss Henrietta Otto; almoner, Miss Grace Gooding; trustees, Miss Collins and Messrs. Gray and Smith; delegates to D. A., W. H. Wilder and W. V. Finck. The regular weekly meeting of the Mosaic and Encaustic Tile Workers was held last night, and officers nominated for the en- suing term. The elections will take place at the next meeting. The Shoe Clerks’ Assembly, which was recently organized, held an ’ enthusiastic meeting last night, and a number of new members were obligated. Several applica- tions .for admission were also made, and will be acted on at the next meeting. es A Kitchen Affair. Thomas Boyd, a well-dressed colored man, was charged today in the Police Court with assault by Sarah Baker, a colored woman. Thomas is employed by Capt. Rodgers at 1310 16th street as a waiter, and it was in the kitchen at this house, on Monday night, that the alleged assault took place. Monday night, Sarah Baker testified, she called on Tom, to whom she claimed to be engaged. She said Thomas put her out of the house and in doing so he twisted her arm and tore her coat. The torn garment was produced, but Tom denied that he had done the damage. Several of Capt. Rodgers’ servants were called as witnesses, and they said that Tom had only used force necessary to eject her after he had ordered her away. In his own behalf Tom denied that he had struck the woman or had assaulted her in any manner. He also denied that he was engaged to be married to Sarah. The charge of assault against him was dismissed. a Auction Sales of Real Estate.

F. Libbey & Co., 6th and N. Y. ave. —Advertisement. will mond, Pete December January 1, 1896, inclusiv Paderewski—Any man whe' can hold the attention of twelve hundred people by @ plano recital must be a genius. Paderewski did that last night at Metzerott Music Hall, and at times moved his audience to the high- est enthusiasm. Even those who did not understand the technicalities of his playing or who did not really appreciate the master- ful character of his work, felt the effect of his marvelous personality and were swayed by his interpretations. It was an audience of culture and refinement, those who love music for its own sake, who are impressed by its effects and who gave vent to their satisfaction after every number In emphatic and spontaneous applause. It does not re- quire a technical musician to enjoy the won- derful technique of Paderewski or to pay tribute to his great power of expression. His own magnetism goes out through his flexible fingers and is communicated to his hearers through the medium of his tone. In this re- spect he is superior to other pianists. He brings out a tone true, clear, resonant, with a singing quality that suggests the human voice. His program included Beethoven's Walstein sonata, two, of Mendelssohn's “Songs Without Words,” Schumann's “Car- naval,” seven Chopin selections, a melody of his own and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12. This was sufficient to show his ver- satility of reading and to bring out all the excellencies of his marvelous execution. There were three encores and they illustrat- ed the judgment of the audience as to the se- lections that suited them best, both as to in- interpretation and playing. The first was Mendelssohn's “Spinning Song,” and_ the second was the ninth Chopin study. In both these his lightning like velocity and the dis- tinctiveness of his enunciation were demon- strated in a remarkable degree. In fact his technical work was perfection. In the eighth Chopin study, however, this was shown in an even higher form but it did not so xppeal to his hearers. The third encore came upon his own melody, which was rhythmical and plea <, and which showed his devotion to Chopin, for it was in the same line as that great composer. In response to this demand Paderewski gave one of his own fantasias, which was brilliant and effective. In the Liszt number with which the program closed his technical skill and power of endurance were again manifested and the audience seemed unwilling to go until he had returned to the stage and bowed his acknowledg- ments. To the critical taste the interpre tion of the Chopin numbers was the most satisfactory. There was a remembrance of the noble work of Rubinstein and D'Albert as to the Beethoven sonata, whom Pader- ewski failed to equal in reading of this composition, but it was the first number on the program, and long before the recital was concluded his individual excellencjes and distinct personality, his magnetic touch, his triumph as an executant and his poetic in- terpretation of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Chopin had atoned for any disappointment that had been felt on that score. The whole recital was one of the most remarkable ever listened to in this city, and one which only i could give. Paul M.
