To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue of the 9th-instant appeared an article headed “A Tinge of Romance,” which stated that a young army officer of the West Point class of 1894 has been “socially ostracised because of his marriage to the daughter of an “enlisted man.” ‘The article also contains the following in- formation, which is startling, as an Ameri- can proposition: “He has sacrificed a prom- ising career in the army, and has estranged himself from the ties of comradeship so characteristic of army and navy life.” In the name of our continental progeni- tors! By the rails that Lincoln split! By the tanned hides that Grant sold! “Where are we at If it has come to pass that an American officer and gentleman may not marry an igent, virtuous girl because her father enlisted man,” is it not time to let Wall street run the national finances, and to select a committee from one of the prominent clubs to classify American citi- w:th reference to “trade,” “previous ndition” and “cash.” If the young lady in the case in hand, who is described as “bright, vivacious and unusually attractive,” is “constantly re- he is the daughter of a pri- sort of treatment is accorded fellow “officers and gentlemen” to who receive commissions from the to, rue, indicate that ples are on the wane umeng ally favored public servants who should be the strongest defenders of ev thing American. Me Washington, March 10, 1896. — Street Car Facilities for Anacostia. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Stai The issue of The Star last evening con- tained two articles of special interest to Anacostians, to wit: President Griswold’s argumert in favor of his one-horse, no-con- ductor, bobtail cars, and the other Senator MeMilian’s bill for terminating the Ana- costia bobtail car nuisance. President Gri wold says: “This company has demonstrat- ed by accurate fi after years of trial, that to continue to mafntain a two-horse ‘ar service, with conductor and driver, is an unnecessary. expense.”, Of course it is when all the revenues of the road are need- ed to pay the mterest of a béhded debt cre- ated by a greed for pre-empting streets and expending large sums of money for laying rails over which no car has turned a wheel for months. The Eckington road carried last year many thousand less passengers than did the Anacestia road, yet they can afford and are required to furnish good cars, with two horses and also conductor. Why not the Anacostia road? President swold with his road ts like the man who built a $1,500 house, mortgaged it for $6,000 and found fault continually with the ten- ant because he would not pay rent enough to pay off the mortgage. The citizens of Anacostia see through Senator McMillan’s bill hopes for the near future for better car service for their suburb, and will pay their taxes for general benefits, such as prote: tion from fire, police station. letter deliver: which they do rot enjoy, with better ce than heretofore by reason of the hope held out by Senator McMillan, with The Star's powerful aid, that the days of the one-horse, no-conductor, bobtatl nuisance are numbered.

Shilling and his men were escorted to the hall from the National Guard Armory by the Fencibles and were accorded a hearty welcome by Capt. Domer. A novel feature of the visit was the fact that every Morton insisted on paying the admission fee. Capt. Shill- ing, Sergt. Claxton and Messrs. Blandy and Lyman were cartooned in the fair paper #nd special attention, in other lines, was paid to the guests. Mrs. Varnell, A. B. Claxton, W. E. Shan- non and I.

A regular meeting of the board of trus- tees of public schools was held at Frank- lin building yesterday afternoon. There were present Trustees Whelpley (in the chair), Harries, Hazen, Cornish and Shadd and Mrs. Terrell. The following changes in second division B were announced and approved: Transfers—G. H. Paddon, janitor, from Madison building to Pierce building, vice P. Tracy, removetk Appoint—E. J. Anderson, janitor, Madi- son School; Arthur Stocker, janitor, Blair School, vice Wm. Kretchmar, resigned; Mrs. A. M. Stocker, janitress, Blair Manual Training School, vice Mrs. E. Kretschner, resigned. V._C. Shepherd was appointed a teacher, at $009 per annum, in eighth division B, vice A. L. Manning, resigned. The resignation of Edward C. Kane as teacher of Latin and Greek in the Western High School was accepted. Miss Saidee F. Drown, granted three months’ from March 1. M. E. Benjamin, teacher in eighth di- vision A, was also granted an extension of leave. W. F. Dale was appointed a temporary teacher in the Normal School, vice King, resigned. Miss Lily G. Mount was Placed on ‘the roll of substitutes at the cooking school, and Miss Marion Morgan Was appointed a temporary teacher of sew- ing. teacher, was leave of absence The Flag Bill Approved. Senator McMillan’s bill appropriating $1,000 for the purchase of flags for the pub- lic schools of the District was presefted to the board by reference from the District Commissioners. On motion of Mr. Harries, the bill was or- dered returned to the Commissioners, with a request that they recommend its passage by Congress. in arreuncing the adoption of the motion, Chairman Whelpley remark- ed sotto voce that it would bé a great deal better from a patriotic standpoint if the children were given a chance to provide the flags themselves. The Old Congress Heights School. Mr. Harries, from the committee on school houses, reported adversely on the applica- tion of the Congress Heights Citizens’ Asso- ciation for the use of the old school house at Congress Heights as a library and reading rcom on the ground that the building was reeded as a manual training and cooking school. But for the fact that the building was needed for public school purposes, he said, he would have favored granting the ap- Plication. The report was adopted. Proposed Animal Day. Mrs. Terrell suggested the advisability of setting apart one day in each school year, to be known as “animal day,” for the recogni- tion of the blessings of the humane treat- ment of animals. Special days were set apart for other purposes, and she thought it would be well to devote one day in the year to the subject of cruelty to animals. She thought the children should be taught mercy and kindness to all dumb creatures, not only in the streets and public places, but also in their homes. She bespoke better treatment of household pets, which were oftentimes neglected and allowed to suffer from want of food and proper ¢are. To her way of thinking it was almost.as necessary to teaci humanity to animals as it was to teach patriotism. She was confident that if a school day were devoted to the subject of the prevention of cruelty to animals, they would see the kenefits accruing from it in a very short time. Referred to Committee. Superintendent Powell having been called on for an cpinion on the subject, said he doubted the wisdom of setting aside a speciai day for the observance of a phase of human- ity that was practically one of the elemen- tary studies of the schools. He. suggested that it might be advisable before action to submit the question to the committee on course of instruction for consultation with the superintendent and the teachers, in order to see how the idea could best be carried out. Mrs. Terrell accepted the suggestion and made a motion to that effeet. The motion was seconded by Dr. Shadd and was adopted by the board, after which the meeting ad- journed. —_.—__ MEMORIAL BRIDGE. Capt. Symons Enthusiastic About the Project. Capt. Thomas W. Symons of the engineer corps of the army is in the city, having come from Buffalo at the request of the in- terstate and foreign affairs committee of the House, to test!fy in regard to a pro- posed bridge over the Niagara river at Grand Island. : Capt. Symons was for several years as- sistant engineer commissioner, and it was under his personal direction that the plans for the proposed Memorial bridge, recently printed in The Star, were made. When asked by a reporter what he thought of the prospects of provision being made for the Memorial bridge over the Potomac, he said he sincerely hoped such provision would be made, and it looked as if it would; that he continued to take the deepest interest in the project in the development of which he worked so hard in the years gone by. The captain said that, personally, he would ratuer build that bridge taan do any other piece of engineering work in the world. “If I could build it as I like, and as it should be built to be worthy of its concep- tion, and of Washington, and of its locality, I would make it the most beautiful and im- teresting structure in the world. I would make it such a structure that people would come from all over the globe to see it, that artists would paint, and poets write about it, and make it one that would forever stand as a perfect memorial of the blood- iest struggle of modern times, of the noble men who suffered and died in that struggle and of the renewed and indissoluable U that grew therefrom.” — The Marquette Statue. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will the editor of The Evening Star give sprce to a Catholic layman to make a few comments upon the article in Monday’s Star from T. T says that Marquette was in no sense a citizen of Wisconsin, since he died befcre Wisconsin was organized and before the territory of which it formed a part was ceded to the general government by Virginia. He could have gone farther and said that not only was he not a citi- zen cf Wisconsin, but he was not even a citizen of the United States, since the United States did not exist until more than 100 years after the death of Marquette. But will T tell us why he was rot as much a citizen of Wisconsin as was Roger Will- iams of Rhoce Island, since Rhede Island as one of the states of the United States did not exist until 17%), more than 100 years afier the death of Williams. And tell us also why Marquette’ title to honor for dis- tinguished civic or military services does not rest upon as good a foundation as does that of Roger Williams? Where was T and his more rabid breth- ren when the statue of the churchman Willams was placed in the Capitol? Or why did they not voice their bigoted opposition? Not that I object to honoring Williams in that or any other way. Neither have the 10,000,000 Catholics in the nation at large or those of Rhode Island, where they constitute more than two-fifths of the population, even suspected that there was anything improper in placing Williams’ statue in the Capitol. And so Marquette’s discoveries did not benefit anybody but the French king, eh? I thought it was general- ly admitted that any addition to the run of human knowledge, whether geographical or otherwise, was a benefit to all. T closes his moderate but invidious statement by asserting that the question is not one of faith or attire, but of fact. But he is wrong; it is neither; it is simply a mani- festation of nourished prejudice and un- Christian bigotry. And if the whip of the bigots is powerful enough to compel the Congress of the United States to insult the largest Christian denomination in the na- tion, then the constitutional guarantee of religious liberty is in danger. T. AMUSEMENTS. Allen’s Grand Opera House.—When Mme: Bernhardt first played “Camille” in this city, fifteen years ago, it was lauded in the strongest terms. She revealed new powers and possibilities tn the character of Mar- gueritte Gauthier, and had she never played any other part her interpretation of the Lady of the Camelias would have stamped her as the greatest actress of her time. There were some present at Allen’s Grand Opera House last night who had witnessed that first performance of Bernhardt’s here, and who are still of the opinion that she holds the palm. The comparison of the Camille of last night with the recent inter- pretation of the same character by Eleanora Duse was inevitable, and yet neither suf- fered by it. The methods of the two are. widely at variance, but both move the audi- ence to a wonderful degree. The most blase theatergoer could not but feel a moisture about the eyelids during the interview of Camille with Duval pere, and as for the ladies in the audience, they were busily em- ployed in handling their handkerchiefs. In all her work Mme. Bernhardt charms by her remarkable personality, by her sinuous grace and musical voice, and her thorough artistic equipment. She feels none of the agony or passion she portrays, but she has the art to make it so suggestive to her audi- ence that they feel it for her, and she sways them according to her will. She created the part of Camille, and the role has always been a favorite one with her. She has played it more frequently than any other part in her repertoire, and it is understood that on her return to Paris she will cele- brate her one-thousandth performance. She was a more attractive Camille than ever last night, for Mme. Rernhardt is really looking younger and better than ever. She is gaining in flesh, and is now plump and of good figure. She has the same matchless charm of coquetry in the scenes with Ar- mand, and the intense agony at parting from him is thrilling to the beholder, Her joy at his return in the last act is so ap- parently genuine that for the moment one forgets that the woman is so near her dis- solution. Her death scene is artistically given, and many of the usual details which are sometimes deemed requisite, were omit- ted. ‘The company supporting Mme. Bern- hardt is the best she has ever brought with her. M. Deval made an earnest and force- ful Armand, but in appearance ‘he hardly realized the type of man that Dumas drew. M. Pinon was dignified and effective as the elder Duval, and M. Angelo made a good Gaston. Mme. Patry was unusually fine as Prudence. The audience was large and highly enthusiastic, the applause at the con- clusion of the fourth act continuing for many minutes, and the curtain being raised many times. Tonight “La Tosca” will be the play. A change in the program is announced for Saturday night, when “Phedre” will be sub- stituted for “Fedora.” This, the manage- ment states, is done by request of the many, both in this city and in Baltimore, who de- sire to see Mme. Bernhardt in Racin great tragedy. Mr. John W. Foster's Lecture.—The lec- ture on the gereral subject of the far eas’ in general, and John W. Foste1 experi- ences in that land in particular, delivered by the ex-Secretary of State, promises to be a mest interesting talk. It will take place tonight at the Eastern Presbyterian Church, and Mr. Frank G. Carpenter will attend to the stereoptic v: which were made from photogr n under his pe: 1 direction. Mr. Foster was legal adviser to the Chinese government during its troubics with Japan, and Is fully able to cope with the leading questions of the day in the orient. The proceeds of this lecture will gO to the benefit of the Eastern Presbyte 2 Church. A Joint Conceri.—The first of the series of concerts announced by the Rubinstein and Capital Glee Clubs took pla ight Metzerott Music Hall, which w 1 filled with an audience that gave every evidence of complete satisfaction with the nterpretation of the excellent program pro- vided. Although there was an announ-c- ment that no encores would be allow applause given to som SO great as to compel a brea! rulé. The Capital Giee ¢ nm organiza- tion entirely for male voices, wiile the Rubinstein “Club is composed solely of ladies. Both clubs have the same director, Mr. N. Dushane Cloward, and the high grade of work performed is due to his | ership. The stage was handsomely decv ated with palms and potted plants, and the singers were seated on richly upholstered chairs and divans. The concerted numbers were all well interpreted, showing the re sult of careful rehearsal, and the “Pilgriins Shorus,” from ‘“Tannhauser,” and Costa’s “Angel Quartet,” sung by Mrs. Gardne! Mrs. Rheem, Miss Clear and Miss Yewell, were obliged to be repeated, Satisfy the audience. Dudiey Buck's ar Bells of Scotland, Macy’s “Mill Wheel,” Vogric’ ment of ‘Kathleen Mavourneen, Kuntz's arrangement of Schubert’s ade,” and Dudley Buck's “Home, Home.” The soloists were Mrs. F. A. ner,Mr. Hensey and Mr. Cloward. M ner sang “Knowest Thou the Land, in order to Other numbers ngement 0 Cutter “Mignon;” Mr. Hensey's selection Bradsky’s “Thou Art Mine All,” and Mr. Cloward’s number was Schubert's “irl King.” All were well given, though per- haps the one that received the most pro- nounced favor was the number by Mr. Hensey. The whole concert was an enjoy able affair, and the others of the series will be looked to with pleasurable an! pra tion. The piano accompaniments were e'fi- ciently played by Mr. Archibald Olmstead. The other members of the Capital Glee Club, besides those mentioned, are: S. S. Shedd, Willis B. Magruder, M. Le Roy Gough, Oliver C. Hine, E. O. Asmussen, B. W. Beebe, W. S. Hutchinson, H. H.

The Yale Alumni Association held a most enjoyable reunion and smoker last even- ing at Rauscher’s new hall, on Connecticut avenue. The affair was in place of a formal banquet, and by many was regarded as much more satisfactory than the more conventional form of entertainment could have been. Justice Brown of the Supreme Court, the president of the local associa- tion, presided, and over a hundred of the alumni and their guests were present. ‘The hall was beautifully decorated for the oc- casion with the dark blue of uld Yale and the liberal use of palms made «an effective background. Of course there were songs and speeches, and the presence of the Venezuelan commission, three of whom are Yale men, was a feature of the evening. An elegant supper was serv and aito- gether the occasion was hugely enjoyed and .vot2d worthy of a repetition. —— Charged With Embezzlement. Yesterday moraing Detectives Carter and Gallaher arrested a collector,named Thom- as I. Price on a warrant charging him with the embezzlement of $10 of the funds of a collecting agency. He was employed by the agency, ard it is charged that he failed to make returns of money collected The officers turned him over to the mar. shal and the case will be heard in the Po- lice Court tomorrow. ——__ Revival Services. Rev. Dr. H. N. Wharton, the Baltimore evangelist, is conducting a series of revival services at the First Baptist Church, in which great interest is manifested, and a number of conversions profes: as a re- sult. At the close of his sermon last even- ing, twelve persons made known their de- sire to lead Christian lives. The meetings will continue for ten days. —_—-— The Mutual Real Estate Company.

Gaillard’s Rgpor of the Opsrations Dnring the:Mpn€s of February. Progress Made igs Removing Deposits From the Comlui—Some Cracks in the Argh (Discovered. Capt. Gaillard, inyeharge of the Washing- ton aqueduct, hag.made a report to the chief of engineers of operations in connec- tion with the local water supp'y during the month of February. He says that during February the height of water at the gauge at Great Falls varied between 148.6 feet and 151 feet, and he adds that the condition of the water as regards clearness has again been very unsatisfactory. For twenty-three days the water at the effluent gate house of the distributing reservoir was very tur- bid, for five days it was turbid, and for one day it was slightly turbid. It thus appears that at the point named-it was not clear a single day during the month. An accom- panying table showing the daily condition of the water at Great Falls, at the Dale- cariia (receiving reservoir) and at the effiu- ent gateway of the distributing ‘reservoir, shows very clearly, according to Capt. Gail- lard, the small amount of sedimentation which occurs in cold weather during the passage of the water from Great Falls to the mains of the distributing reservoir. Cleaning: the Conduits. The operations for the removal of accum- ulated deposits in the conduit were contin- ued during the morth. On the Great Falls division the total distance cleaned was 3,927 feet, and the amount of sediment re- moved, 672 cubic yards. The division has been cleaned from the gate house at Great Falls to manhole 24. On the Dalecarlia di- vision the total distance cleaned was feet, and the amount of sediment removed i cubic yards, The cleaning of this is completed from the Datecarita reservoir to manhole 37, just above Cabin John Bridge. The total length of conduit yet ty be cleaned is 1.6 miles. Several lon- situdinal cracks have been discovered in the conduit. One on the top of the arch com- menced at manhole 46 and extended 300 feet north, with a maximum width of 1% inches, There was also a crack in the bot- tom of the arch for about half the distance of the other crack, having a maximum width of 2 inches. These cracks are over culvert 20. Work for This Month. It is proposed during the present month to continue cleaning out the conduit, and to begin repairs to the break in the by-con- duit around the Datecarlia reservoir, in cr- der that the deposits in this by-conduit may be removed before the close of the fiscal year. Preliminary operations will be made this month for resuming the work of rais- ing the height cf the dam at Great Fall. which was suspended for the inter De- cember 14 last. Arrangements have been made to obtain stone for completing the dam by cortract. a Died the Way.

D., D. C. L., rector of Grace Church, New York, at Epiphany Church last evening to hear his interesting lecture on “‘The Church and Christian Unity,” the third lecture of the course given under the auspices of the Churchmen’s League. His text was, “Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincer- ity” (Eph. vi:24). “A good many of you,” sald the speaker, “perhaps most, probably expect me to confine this matter of church unity to our own country ana church, but I cannot do so, The thing to be considered in this matter is the Holy Catholic Church throughout the world and as related to the church in all ages. Much is possible now that formerly seemed otherwise. Modern science is strangeiy but surely working for the unity of the Christian church. John Baptist’s prophetic cry is finding realiza- tion; barriers are breaking down; countries and peoples are coming together. It is a great opportunity. Everything indicates for our (the Anglican) church to be the rep- resentative church of all English-speaking peoples. There is a great and growing de- sire for a leader in one common Christian- ity—calm, corservative, clear eyel, sure. Our church, we are sure, can be that leader here if she will rise to her opportunity. But we should not be boastful of our claims. We should set them forth with all respect and good feeling—charity. Israel was once arrogant, crying, ‘The temple of the Lord, the tempie of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these,’ and she was cast down and abased. ‘Look not only on your own things, but also upon the things of others’—consider the point of view. Do what we can as in- dividuals. Get together, know other Chris- tians and their ways, and have them know us and ours.” Upon the conclusion of Dr. Huntington’s remarks, Dr. McKim made the announcement of the next lecture, to be given the 17th instant by Dr. N. R. Ruli- son, bishop of Pennsylvania, on the sub- Had a Revolver. A young colored man named George Dean figured in a row in Glick’s alley Monday evening, and had driven a number of peo- ple out of the alley before Policeman Jett reached there in response to a complaint. The officer had been informed that Dean was armed, and as soon as he arrested him he attempted to relieve him of the pistol. Dean was not willing to surrender the weapon, and a fight followed, 2uring which the officer got the better of the combat and got pcssession of the pistol.
