ADVISORY BOARD Statement of Its Objects by One of Its Members. What Has Been Done an to the Records of Presidential Candidates, To the Editor of The Evening Star: So many Incorrect and misleading state- ments have, during the past few weel found their way into the public press re- specting the organization known as the American Prote:tive Association and its relations to the prospective presidential campaign, and especially regarding the na- tional advisory board of that organization, that I ask permission to state, througn the columns of The Star, the precise situation of affairs, so far as it is proper to make it public. And, first, I want to correct a widely-circulated report to the effect that during the recent meeting of the executive committee of the national advisory board in this city letters were sent to the man- agers of McKinlcy, Reed, Morton, Allison and others, asking them to appear before the committee and state their positions in regard to the order; how far they would go in aiding it in its ‘contentions, and so on, and that the managers of all the candidates except McKinley obeyed the summons and appeared before the committee; that they argued for their candidates and made prom- ises of all kinds; that Mr. Hanna, McKin- ley’s manager, did not put in an appear- ance, but that a second letter to him brought a response, to the effect that Mr. McKinley declined to treat with any faction, associa- tion or society within the party, and that thereupon the committee grew angry, promptly decided to “down” McKinley, and immediately hoisted the Linton standard, and instructed the membership to proceed to rally around it. Now, as a member of the national ad- visory board, I wish to say that there is rot a word of truth in this statement. The subcommittee of the national board has no such power, nor has the whole board the authority to dictate to the order in any such manner. The powers of the advisory board, as is indicated by its name, are purely ad- visory, and there its duty ends. The com- mittee met in this city, and afterward in New York, for the -urpose of conferring to- gether and reporting the results of their investigations regarding public men and their standing and records as bearing upon the principles for which the order is con- tending. This was done, and their report will be submitted to the national body, which will meet in this city on the 12th of accompanied, probably, by such sug- ns as they may deem proper to make. This is the sum total of the much-talked- arent meeting of the advisory board of the As to the candidacy of Mr. Linton, whife the friends of the order throughout the ccuntry are hoping that he will become their standard bearer under certain cir- cumstances, and are unitedly calling upon him te consent to do so, up to this time he Fas never announced himself a candidate for the nomination at St. Louis, but has persistently refused to yield to the constant and urgent requests of his friends to an- nounce himself. True, there is a determina- tion on the part of the crder to get Mr. Linton or some other champion of the prin- ciples of the order nominated at St. Louis, but it is not done at his request nor with his consent; nevertheless, we all know full well that if we could succeed in having the nomination thrvst upon him he would rot shirk his duty. He has never shirked duty, and never will. ‘The A. P. A. is terribly in earnest in its work, which is to endeavor to save this country from any and all ecclesiastical control and domination—a more thorough and mere permanent divorce of church and state—and is rot a warfare against the Catholic ligion as such. It Interferes with no one’s religious belief, save only that It exeludes from membership ad- herents of the Catholic Church, hecause it belie adherents owe a primary al- legiance to a power whose head is alien to the American republic, and of such polit- ico-religious character as to be dangerous to liberty, as Americans understand the ver was the object of the A. P. A. more misrepresented than when its ene- during the recent debates in Con- over the District and Indian appro- priation bills, Genounced it as making war upon the Roman Catholic religion. The or- der is purely secular, and Is contending for the secularization of the state. Freéthink- ers, spiritualists, Jews ‘and out-androut atneists are not only eligible, but are wel- comed to its membership. It Js political In character, ond is in American politics to win. If its demands are not respected by one party, it will ask for recognition by the second, and if this, too, shall reject it, then vill be quickly concentrated into an in- vincible third and new party such an army of American patriots as :hall utterly rout end forever destroy both of the old parties in this country. Mark well this prediction. A. J. BOYER. eee Ready for Dedication. The Fifteenth Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale, pastor, a full description of which has already ap- peared in The Star, is receiving the fintsh- ing touches, and could easily be made ready for dedication by the middle of next month, as was the origina: intentton of its owners. This program has been changed, because it is the purpose of the pastor and other officials to invite sume of the greatest men in the denomination in the United States to be present on the cecasion of the fer. mal opening of the building for divine wor- ship, and as the ministers wanied will be in attendance at the meeting of the gen- eral conference of the M. 1. Church at Cleveland during the whole of May, it will be impossivle for them to come to Washington until later. The dedication has, therefor, been post- poned until early in June, and the event will, it is helieved, be one of the most notable in the history of the churches be- longing to the Baltimcre conference. With- in the last few days the carpeis kave been laid, pews put in place, gas and electric fixtures adjusted, and the magnificent me- morial windows, whicn it is belleved have no superiors in the District of Columbia as works of art, placed In the positions they are to occupy. ‘The new church, as has been already sald in The Star would be the case, is a model of perfection as a church home, and is sup- plied with every necessary modern con- venience, and pastor and congregation are jvstifiably proud of their beautiful edifice. ——__ Transfers of Real Estate.

The evening of Emancipation day was turned to account by the colored citizens of Washington in a number of meetings in various parts of the city. The Blaine In- vincible Club met at John Wesley M. E. Church, on Connecticut avenue, and listened to a speech by Perry Carson. His subject was announced as “The Old and the New Negro,” but he said he intended to talk at random and say what he pleased, which he did. He said he had a “misery” in his breast, and ought to be at home with his wife, his cat and his dog, but he couldn't let go the chance to tell his people some necessary truths. Among other things, he charged them with being ashamed of them- selves, and the fact that their ancestors were slaves. “I should have seen 20,000 negroes in the Procession today,” said the colonel, “‘but you are ashamed to let the white people see that your mothers were slaves and that you are proud because you are emancipated. If you are going to celebrate emancipation as you should, begin tomorrow and prepare for a grand celebration next year. You will never get anything you don’t look forward te. I’ve had my eye on a certain office for twenty years, and I'll get it yet.” Col. Carson also charged his people with ingratitude to Frederick Douglass, and de- clared they ought to build a monument to b his memory. The permanent Emancipation Association was criticised severely, Col. Carson boldly declaring that he knew sev- eral Senators who had given $50 each toward yesterday's celebration, and the money had not gone to the uses for which it was Intended. John W. Bell, Col. Carson's alternate to the republican convention, and L. H. Peter- son spoke. After the speaking supper was spread in the basement of the church. A musicale was given at Metropolitan Bap- tist Church, participated in by the Howard University Mandolin and Glee Club and a number of soloists. There was a large mass meeting In George- town at Mt. Zion Church, 20th street, where an address was delivered by Prof. John M. Langston. The all-day reception at Metropolitan Bap- tist Church, 12th and R streets, where many of the visitors to the city were welcomed and entertained, lasted until 11 o'clock at night. Refreshments were served by a com- mittee of ladies. There were dances at the halls of nearly all the colored social associations through- out the city. ——-+_-_— Emancipation Celebrations. Washington hospitality got John Williams in trouble yesterday, and in his way of ceiebrating freedom he got arrested, and now he is deprived of his liberty. John is a young colored man, who came here three days ago from Columbia,S. C.,and yesterday he went out with several young men who were strangers to him, to follow the band. There was not much money in the crowd, and so, instead of going into bar rooms and drinking, they “rushed the growler” to get the most beer for the least money. Washington beer did not set well on the South Carolinian's stomach, and he pro- ceeded to use language which Precinct De- tective Barnes thought should not be toler- ated. The result was that the officer ar- rested him and locked him up. Not guilty was his plea when arraigned in Judge Kim- ball’s court this morning. The stranger told the judge that he had only been here three days, and that he had gone out to follow the band. His com- panions treated, and if he did anything wrong he is sorry for it. The judge was giad to hear him say he was sorry fgr his conduct, but he could not consistently let him go, and so the usual fine was imposed. Mary Carter had hoHday yesterday, and she celebrated the day by imbibing too much strong liquor. Last night she made an effort to do a skirt dance on the street, and when Policeman Coffin found her she was minus her skirt. ‘She had broken a glas: said the officer, “but the owner of the house did not want to prosecute her. When I saw her she was in charge of some friends, who were trying to get her home.” Mary thought she had not done anything wrong, and the court excused her by taking her personal bonds. Charlotte Coates, a young colored woman, attended thé ball tn Hillsdale last nignt. She had been drinking, so the police said, and to a charge of disorderly her counsel entered a plea of guilty. Her offense was not of a serious nature, and the court ac- cepted her personal bonds. ——_—_. Garfield Post Anniversary. The fourteenth anniversary entertainment of James A. Garfield Post, No. A. R., was celebrated Wednesday evening in the hall of the Legion of Loyal Women, 419 10th street northwest. The hall was taste- fully decorated and there was a large at- tendance. Quartermaster J. H. Jochum acted as master of ceremonies, and intro— duced those who participated in the pro- gram, which opened with a piano solo, “The Battle of Manassas,” by Miss Lulu Pistoria. The comedietta, “The Doctor's Dilemma,” was presented by Mrs. Lulu Hester, Miss Jennie Haywocd, Miss Daisy ‘alver, Miss Anna Hester and Dr. Thos. Calyer. Other numbers were: Duet, banjo and guitar, Mrs. Jochum and Mrs. Colla- mer; recitation, Mr. W. M. Baldwin; vocal solo, Miss Lulu Pistoria; F. H. Rich, Dutch comedian, assisted by W. H. Casputa; reci- tation; Miss Jennie Griffin; Ethiopian ser- mon, Mr. H. M. Towles; banjo duet, the Messrs. Weaver; ‘The Serenaders,” Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, Mrs. Bauer, Miss Honodle and others. The entertainment was con- cluded by dancing. —_—.—__. Good Templars.

Counsel for the Meiropolitan Railroad Company, after the Court of Appeals, a few days ago, had allowed the claim of the District for about $34,000, with interest from November 27, 1880, for paving done by the old board of public works, moved the court to modify the judgment to the extent of omitting the payment of the in- terest. The motion wds, of course, opposed by counsel for the District, and yesterday afternoon the court refused to modify the judgment. The allowance of the interest makes the judgment about $68,000.

AFFAIRS IN «GEORGETOWN The Death of Oaptaiti Hdward Arnold Yes- Lively Runaway\ Accident — Other Local Notes Aout Persons and Things From Aecoss Rock Cz > Capt. Edward Arnold died late yesterday afternoon from the éffects of the injury re- ceived in the fall on tke granolithic pave- ment in front of the grocery department of the Emrich Beef Company. His skull was fractured at the base, causing concussion of the brain, the unfortunate man bleeding steadily internally. He had been feeling unwell, and had just obtained a three days’ leave from work, beginning yester- day. He was seized with am attack of ver- tigo when he fell with such fatal result. Capt. Arnold was perhaps one of the best- known men in the city, whole souled and open: hearted. He was born fifty-seven years agv at Uxbridge, Mass. At the open- ing of the war he enlisted .in the fifty- eighth Massachusetts volunteer infantry, but his service wes short. At the battle of Ball's Bluff, while in the midst of the fight, his right arm was shot away. For taore than thirty years he had been em- ployed at the Treasury Department as a messenger, serving most of the time in the cffice of the supervising architect. He leaves a widow, but no children. He was a member of Encampment No. 69, Union Veteran Legion, and had been a member of the Grand Army since its in- ception. At the time of his death he was a member of George U. Morris Post, No. 19, and this body will have charge of the funeral. He had also been a member of the color guard of the Old Guard, com- posed of thirteen one-armed men, but he resigned about two years age, being unable to do much marching. The funeral will be held at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and will be a military cortege, the interment being at Arlington cemetery. Runaway Accident. A peculiar runaway accident occurred yesterday evening, shortly after 6 o'clock, in which a valuable horse will, in all prob- ability, be lost. The four horses attached to the heavy wagon of Tenny & Son, while standing at the corner of 30th and O streets, took fright and ran away, dashing up © street. At dist street one of the wheel horses was thrown, but the others kept on. In turning the corner at 82d street the head of the dragging horse struck the guy pole of the trclley line of the electric line and the brute ki: ked up in a krot,checking the other three runaways. Strangely enough no bones were broken in the ani- mal, but the skin was shaved clear off of one side, exposing the bones from the drag- sing over the asphalt square. While the animal was not sbot, it is not expected to live. Death of Mrs Jamen Martin. Mr. James Martin, an eld and much-re- spected resident of the West End, died last evening about 7:30 o’clock at his residence at the northwest corner of 335th and O streets. The deceased had been confined to his home but ‘x short time‘tn hts fatal iN- news. “He hadiaeached the advanoed-age of seventy-one years, a native of Maryland, and for nearly half a rentury a resident of the District. For many years he ran a shoe and leather shop on M street, just above the market, in which connection he was. well known in business circles. He leaves a widow and three sons“ to moura his toss.

It has been the policy of the city since the gas plant came under mu- nicipal control to make the question of profit to the city treasury in a measure subordinate to the que8tion of service to the citizens. Yet the increase in the con- sumption of gas, with the successive re- ductions in its price, has made the financial outcome most satisfactory. At present the city is renting over t thousand gas stoves to private families. “At a recent meetingsof the Philadelphia councils a communication was _ received from the Philadelphia Gas Company, offer- ing the city $20,000,000 for its works. The company agreed to pay into the city treas- ury 5 per cent of the profits after ten years, and 10 per cent after fifteen years. ROYAL BAKING POW DER.

GEORGETOWN. —_—. VERDICT OF GUILTY. Result of the Second Oleomargarine Case’ Yenterday. After deliberating about an hour, the jury in the case of Wilkes C. Prather, charged with violating the oleomargarine law in selling the stuff as and for butter without labeling it, as required by law, re- turned a verdict 6f guilty shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The con- victed man was recommended to the mercy of the court, and, after his counsel had given notice of a motion for a new trial, the man was released on bonds to await sentence. The charge of Judge Cole to the jury was a brief one, and he impress:d upon them the fact that they should, in deciding the case, disregard everything but the evi- dence. Their opinion of the law should play no part in the matter, nor should that of the court, if they imagined from anything the court had said or done he had evidenced an opinion one way or the other. Four questions were to be decided: Was the pac! © produced in court oleo- margarine? Was it sold by the defendant or by one for whom he was responsible? If so sold, was it done knowingly? and was it marked as required by law? If they had any reasonable doubt upon any one of the questions the defendant should be acquitted. Speaking of the connection of Mr. James F. Oyster with the prosecution of the alleged violators of the law, Judge Cole remarked that they should not be in- fluenced one way or the other by the state- ment. Mr. Oyster made.

The democratic central committee of the District met last night at 1424 EB street nortnwest, to consider the resolutions, pre- sented at a former meeting by Mr. John B. Miller of the twenty-second district, which declared in favor of the restoration of suf- frage in the District of Columbia. Chair- man Kalbfus presided. The proceedings be- gen by the reading cf the resolutions and a speech in their behalf by their acthor. Re- marks were made by Messrs. Donavan, Lynch, Wells and Kilieen. Chairman Kalb- fus, however, offered substitute resolutions, which, after reciiirg that the privileges of the Constitution had been denied the citi- zens here for years, indorsed the bill re- cently introduced in Congress authorizing the holding of a special election, at which the citizens of the District should determine Whether the present form of government should continue or a representative form be adopted in its place. It was also resolved to send a copy of the resolutions to both houses of Congress, The substitute was adopted, thirteen mem- bers voting in the affirmative and three in the negative, as follow: Yeas—Messrs. Kalbfus, Wittekinat, Boyle, Miller, Maher, Donavan, Turner, Neltzey, Doyle, Small, Killen, Lyneh and Wells. Nays—Cusick, Cook and Clarke. Resolutions expressing sympathy for Cuba were introduced by Mr. Donavan, but as the platform of the recent democratic conven- tion contained such an expressioa they were withdrawn. ——~.__ Will Filed.
