Moore and Gov. Shep- herd, each of whom had at one time served as president of the society. Gov. Shepherd's Remarks. The remarks of ex-Gov. Shepherd were particularly touching and appropriate. After referring to the pleasure it gave him to be present, and to a number of incidents ected with the early days of the so- he turned toward Col. Moore, who ting on the platform at the rear of peaker, and told the audience that Cel, Moore, when a boy, used to at- the Sunday school, it was more, he for the sake of look y sirls than to learn about the Bib! ng, “but that was my own ¢ ch continuing, ved girl out of ever had for a rty and long- further said e in any other this church that any man wife,” the applause was hi ued. “I have ne epherd, “felt at hon and the se: ardest I e r was re the fitst ad George employed by dent of Fargo, Ul.

Adams Gelivered an interesting lecture to the teachers of the public schools nat the hall of the Cen- His subject was ‘“Con- tagious Diseases.” The doctor gave a thy explanation of contagious diseases, Gefining the different diseases, including mallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever. He children between the ages of that and ten yeurs were most suscep ease Parents, he said, frequ want their children to contract measles or chickenpox when they are young, but this idea, he said, is a bad one. He advised tat moibers should protect rather than expose their children to danger. Some good ad- vice was given to the teachers concerning the precautions they should take for tife protection of their pupils, and the “loctor explained how some of the diseases were contracted. Another lecture on the same subject will be given. ee To Settle Accounts. To settle the accounts of Thos. S. Tucker, guardian of Harry F. and Louisa Wilson, Juige Haener has directed John C. Yost, a surety of the guardian, to pay into the registry of the court $812, it being claimed that Mr. Tucker is unable to pay the amount. The late Warren J. Lown was also one of Mr. Tucker's sureties, and his estate is also included in the court's order. A Promising Elocutionist. A number of invited guests gathered at’ the residence of Mrs. Frank Dieudonne, on Capitol Hill, last night, to meet Miss Marie Collins of Minnesota. The party included all the prominent people from that state who are at present in Washington. Miss Collins is an elocutionist of rare ability, and her work last night left nothing to be de- sired. ‘The first selection was the famous sketch “Trilby Singing.” In her interpretation of Du Maurier’s creation Miss Collins showed her talent. The other selections consisted of an Irish dialect sketch by Brooks and “A. Set of Turgnoise” by Thomas Bailey Ald- rich. Miss @ollins is a tall, graceful, pretty brunette, and was handsomely gowned in soft, clinging gold-colored silk. She has taken up her residence in this city, having been appointed principal of Martyn College for the coming year. i An Encyclopaedic Dictionary.

Kuhn, who has for nearly a quarter of a century been engaged in the piano business in this city, has taken into partnership with him his two sons, so that the firm name will hereafter be Kutin & Sens. This move was made necessary by the steady increase in the business, brought about by strict attention and square deal- ing. Mr. Kukn started in as a dealer in musica! instruments in 1872, and some time ago moved tc the handsome and commo- dious building at 1209 G street. He has built up a large trade, and is generally re- garded as one of the progressive and suc- cessful business men of Washington. ee Reduced Rates to New Orleans and Mobile on Account of Mardi Gras Celebration, ‘The Peansylvanta railroad will sell, Feb- ruary 14 to 17, inclusive, good returning within fifteen days from date of sale, round- trip tickets from Weshjngton and Alexan- dria to New Orleans rate of $27.50, and to Mobile at rate cf $25.50, on account of the Mardi Gras celebrations, February 17 and 18. * Rain and Snow Ahead, So weather-wise people prophesy.

Henderson, president, and Mr, A. R. Serven, chairman of the committee on railways of the North Capitol and Eck- ington Citizens’ Association, called upon the District Commissioners this morning and laid before them a copy of a letter, dated the 4th instant, addressed to Mr. D. M. Newbold, president of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company, in re- gard to certain improvements asked for by the association in the service of said com- pany. Actipg upon the advice of the Commis- stoners on a former occasion, the commit- tee in this letter submitted suggestions to Mr. Newbold in regard to changes which they deem absolutely necessary to meet the demands of the patrons of the Eckington and Brookland branch of the railway. In their letter to Mr. Newbold the committee stated their propositions as follows: “first. That cars be run through between 15th street northwest and Brookland wi!th- out change or transfer. This can he ac- complished by attaching the horse cars as trailers to the trolley cars at Florida aye- nue en route to and dropping them at thi: point In retarning from Brookland. if it is not practicable to change the time schedule of the irolley cars to conform to that of the horse cars, which would be necessary to carry out the plan above suggested, then the following is proposed as a substitute: “Second. That every horse car be run through between 15th street and Lrook- tand, by being taken up at Florida avenue as a trailer to the trolley car, and the inter- mediate horse car run between Florida ¢ rue and the Pennsylvania depot. rangement would make the time sch for the horse cars between 15th street and Ficrida avenue conform to the timé sched- ule of the trolley cars. It would do awey with the necessity cf Eckington and Brook- land passengers transferring at Florida avenue. It would afford a five-minute schedule within the city limits. It would divide the accommodation between those passengers who desired to go to or from the vicinity of the Pennsylvania depot and these who desired to go to or come from ith street. It would avoid a great Z of discomfort, inconvenience and add delay to the latter cla through service from 1 subjecting them, as no oth and G streets, and any cong Sth and 1th streets, w! penes when all the cars were th. ‘hird. If neither of the above mentioned plans meets with approval, then it is her suggested that the first plan be. ted between the hours of 7 and c'clock a.m. and 4 and 6 o'clock p.m., or, {f not the plan, then the second one ¢ the same hours. This is the very least that the be justified in accepting. “Fourth. That an extra car be at the Florida avenue end of the pat all times while the road is in operation, as a plece of shelter for passengers while wait- ing, or that a station be erected for this purpose at that point. “Fifth. That the single car which now cperates the section of the company’ cn North Capitol street above New York aven be made to run as early and as late s the cars on the main line, instead of, 43 now, from 8 o'clock a.m. to 8 o'clock p.m. i that A at the in- ¥, to a tran: would a tationed terview, that the car in question and the patent for the system of propulsion by which it is operated are owned by the Westinghouse Company, we do not believe that your company c: rightfully di im any responsibility for or control over the sof such cur because of the fact ownership is so ve: , as the run upon a petion of road chartered your company by act of Congress, and is operated under and by virtue of such char- fore, we believe that your com- iy and morally responsible for 23 control over its movements, as the right to fix a schedule for its and to require it to conform and The communication is signed by A. R. Serven, chairman; T. P. Kane, William Craig, T. T. Moore, J. H. Lane, railway committee. In the letter to the Comm! ners sub- miting the copy of the communication to Mr. Newbold,Messrs. Henderson and Serven call the attention of the Commissioners to Mr. Newbold’s disclaimer of any responsi- bilty Tor or control over the car which cperates the line on No Capitol street above New York avenne, and to the fur’ fact that, although an early reply was re- queste the committee to their letter to Mr. old, up to this time no acknowl- edgment of it has been received. munication urges the Commissioners “to take official cogni of the requests made by the committee to the railroad com- any. EPWORTH LEAGUE. An Indorsement of the Sunday Ob- servance Bil The Epworthians of the Washington Dis- trict Epworth League turned out in large rumbers last evening at Waugh M. EF. Church to the monthly mass meeting, Rev. T. J. Clark, district first vice president, presiding. Wm. J. Palmer, fourth vice pres- ident, conducted the song service, which was followed with Scripture reading and prayer by Rev. Chas. L. Pate; vocal solo ly Miss Gertrude Dana. ‘The program as arranged was dispensed with, on account of several who were to take part being sick and unable to attend. Five-minute addresses on “The Ideal League” were made by Rev. Chas. L. Pate, Rev. L. B. Wilson and Rev. C. W. Bald- wir. A testimony service of fifteen minutes followed the addresses. The officers were then introduced, and each ome made a few remarks on the respective departments of work. Rev. H. B. Leech was then introduced, and presented a set of resolutions. Before reading them he requested the secretary to read the Senate bill to protect the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, as a day of rest and worship in the Dis- trict of Columbia. The resolutions were then read and unanimously adopted, in- dorsing the bill and providing for a com- mittee to urge its passage. The president appointed on this commit- tee Rev. C. W.
