Publi- co, complaining of the repeated failure of postinasters to stamp postmarks legibly upon letters, I am moved to say that the average country postmaster finds it almost impossible to make a clear postmark with the steel stamps supplied him by the de- partment. The hard and woolly pad, the viscous ink, are things that he can hardly accomplish artistic work with. Now, if the law allowed him to use the rubber type stamp, similar to that he uses in his money order business, he can make impression, legible all the time. Inks are made for rubber stamps that are durable encugh for postmarks. The rui ber typ: cap that there would be Saving in their use. Yours truly, JOHN W. M. APPLETON.

Mr. E. D. F. Brady, the well-known les- turer, gave a very interesting address last evening in the Gaston Memorial Hall of Georgetown University, taking as lis sub- ject, “Venice, the Queen City of the Adri- a The lecture was given under the auspices of the Athletic Association of the university, and the attendance was not as large as such an interesting lecture should have. At the start Mr. Brady showed that he was familiar with every detail of his subject, and his excetlent description of the queen city of the Adriatic was increased by a large number of fine stereopticon views. All the places of interest to a visitor at Venice were shown. The place wherein Shakespeare dwelt and is reputed to have written. his great work, the ‘Merchant of Venice,” was shown. ‘St. Mark’s Cathe- dral, said to be one of the finest churches in Europe, which has a crypt conteining the remains of the martyr St. Mark, was shown upon the screen, and the edifice de- scribed. Among the exterior ornaments of the church are four immense bronze horses, which the speaker stated had been stolen a number of times, but always recovered. In his campaign in Italy, Napoleon took the bronze beauties and sent them to France, while on another occasion they were car- ried over to Egypt. Other beautiful build- ings were described, and the speaker dwelt much upon the architectural appearance of the houses, and the magnificent strest scenes, with illustrations of the palatial gondolas which ply over the watery thor- oughfares, Long Buggy Ride. Mr. Henry Chamberlain and Mr. Chas. Copperthite, well-known young men, have just returned from a novel outing trip to New Haven, Conn., the native town of the latter. The journey was made both ways in a buggy, and the horse appears to be none the worse for his long trip, while the two travelers are in better health and look stronger than ff the journey had been made by rail. The start was made about a@ month ago, at 8 o'clock in the morning. After eight days’ riding the two reached their destination, traveling only at day, and lay:ng over of nights at cities on the way. On the upward trip the only evi- dence of the journey on the horse was an increased appetite of nearly double the quentity of rations. After spending an enjoyable time at New Haven the return’ w le last Wednesday, April 15. On Tuesday evening Baltimore was reached, and at 7 o'clock yesterday morning the last stretch of the journey was begun. The two arrived in Georgetown a few minutes before 4 o'clock in the afternoon. A Confirmation. Grace Church was crowded last evening with members of the corgregation and others to witness the administering of the rites of confirmation to a class which has for some time been under the instruction of Rey. Mr. Bourne, the pastor. The scry- ices were conducted by Bishop Satterlee, it being his first appearence at the church. The class in confirmation numbered eleven, and Bishop Satterle2 wus assisted by Re Dr. Stuert, pastor of Christ Church, and Rev. Mr. Bourn Rey. Dr. Buck, pastor of St. James’ Church, was also present. At the conclusion of the ceremony Bishop Satterlee delivered a few remarks to the in particular, and the audience in ral, explaining the religious duties of every person. Broke His Leg. Nelson Kent, a white bicyclist, met with @ very painful accident yesterday after- noon about 5 o'clock, which will incapact- tate him for some days: While riding down M street his wheel ran into the groove of the cable car tracks, and, in attempting to turn quickly into Pennsyl- Vania avenue, he forgot himself and the wheel slid from under him, throwing the rider upon the asphalt with sufficfent force to break his leg. Some pedestrians who witnessed the accident tenderly picked the injured man up, and summoned the patrol . Which conveyed him to the Emer- Hospital. Health Regulations. The first arrest in Georgetown over the new health regulations regarding dairies oc- curred yesterday. The arrest was made by a special officer of the health department, and the cther party wax James Reedy, a well-known dairyman. The cause was a failure to have the permit number of the dairy printed upon the milk wagon, so that the public could see it. The case came up in the Police Court this morning tor settle- ment. Notes. Mr. Samuel Goodman, day station keeper at the seventh precinct, has returned from a very successful fishing trip up the river, bringing home an excellent catch. Mrs. Kinsinge: accompanied by her daughter, Miss nniv, left town yesterday for Pniledelphia, to witness the marriage of her son, Mr. Samuel Kinsinger, to Miss Laura McDonough of 1709 Norris street, which takes place this afternoon. Ida Jones, a colored domestic, who was arrested by Policeman Harry Lohman, on account of her queer actions, was found upon examination to be insane, and yester- day sent to the jum. a Health of the City. The mortality of the District during the past week reached 116. In the previous week it was 112. The death rate was 21.0, as against 22.67 during the same period last year. Both the health and meteorological con- ditions evinced unusual variations from these of the last report. The mean tem- perature rose 28 degrees over that previous- ly reported, and stcod at a mean of 70 de- grees. Accompanying the high tempera- ture was a high barometrical pressure, with southerly mild breezes, and with an almost even relative humidity. The maximum temperature of the week was 93 degrees,and minimum 37 degrees, range, 56 degrees. In the meantime inflammatory maladies of the orsans of respiration decreased 40 per cent, while fatal cases of brain disor- ders increased over 36 per cent. The mor- tality frem consumption rose from 16 to 4, equal to 50 per cent. The three fatal cases of grip shows the continued presence of tts Inflvence. From diseases of the zy- motic class there were 4 deaths from meastles, 1 from scarlet tever and no fatal case of typhoid fever. Otherwise the con- tagious affections remained in abeyance, while the mortality among ‘children under five years of age remains abgut stationary, at the normal point. There were 5 new cases of diphtheria re- ported and 2 houses were released from quarantine, while 9 remained {solated. Of scarlet fever there was no new case re- ported. Five houses were released from quarantine and § houses remained pla- carded. Sixteen of the tctal deaths were from hospitals and 5 were certified by the coro- ner.

The Choral Society's “Elijah.”—One of the largest audierces in the history of the Choral Soc'ety will greet the presentation of the “El'jah” oratorio, by Mendelssohn, at Allen's Grand Opera House tomorrow night, by that organization. The “Elijah” is probably the most pleasing work that the Choral Societty has in its long lst, and the magnificent choruses and the pathetic, sweet music of the quartets, trios and so- los always*~appeal to the musical sense of those who hear it. Th> presentation to- morrow evening !s the mcst complete one of this cratorio that the society has ever undertaken. In the past singers from the society have been taken to fill in in the double-quartet work, but this year that part will be sung by the Apollo and the Philharmoric quartets, both well known in ashington, who will give a new interpre- m to the music and round out the whole concert. The solo'sts are among the finest the country can affcrd in oratorio work, including the finest basso orator:o singer that can be found. Ericsson Bush- nell, who will sing the part of Elijah, has been heard here before, and it is sufficient simply to announce the fact that he will sing the title role. The other soloists are up to the standard set by Mr. Bushnell, and the whole performance will be one of the most enjoyable in every sense that the Chorai Society has ever undertaken. The Poster Exhibit.—Tne poster exhibit of the Pope Manufacturing Company,wyich is now open at the Washington Light In- fantry Almory, continues to attract large crowds of people daily. The exhibition compris?s over five hundred specimens, some excellent in design and coloring, and others not quite so good. As a whole, how- ever, the exhibit is well worth a visit, and as it is free to the public the hall is gen- erally crowded during the exhibition hours. These posiers are the result of a competi- tion instituted by the Pope Company last year, in which prizes were given for the most unique and ariistie posters which misht be submitted by artists, and which the Pope Company wold ch from in order to secure the best ones for adver- tising purposes. As a result nearly five hundred were submitted by artists from all over the country, and these now on exhi- bition are a part of the ones submitted in the competition. The prize winners and the “honorable mentions” 4ll have a@ place, and these are really werth sezing. The exhibition will be open all this week, and the public !s cordially invited to attend. Music, Song and Story.—Dec'dedly enter- taining was the evening of music, song and story yesterday at the Universalist Church, when Miss Kate V. Wilson, Miss Alice Pillsbury, Mr. Willlam L. Wilson, Dr. J. Bischoff, Mr. David C. Bangs, aud A. V. Holmes, Arthur E. Yundt of drid Mandolin and Guitar Quartet contributed their services for the amuse- ment of a large and appreciative audicnce. Mr. Bangs gave several readings, Miss Pillsbury, two contralto solos; Miss Wilson and Mr.' Wilson, several selections each, and Mess! Imes and Yundt, two duets, with an encore. The work of Dr. Bis accompanist, was especially art'stl special request, Mr. Bangs gave several lections not ‘on the program, notably, Alaska,” with a piano obligato by Dr. choif. He also recited ‘The Dream of Eugene Aram,” “Tiger Lily,” “'Rastus’ Trip to the Promised La and “'Rus- tus and the Watermetion,” each in his usual faultless manner. There is no reader now before the public who has greater versatil- ity or who is more popular with the au- dience than Mr. Bangs. HAD HER HAIR COMBED. A Little Child Who Was Lost, Found in the Capitol. A touching incident occurred yestergay in the Senate wing of the Capitol that made every man who witnessed it feel better all day. At about.11 o'clock a lady entered the office of the sergeant-at-arms of (he Senate, ieading a little girl about two years and 4 half old by tke hand. The baby was neatly dressed, but her face bore the maric: of tears. She had been found wandering about the Capitol grounds crying bitterly, having lost her way from home without having any notion of where her home was. So the kindly woman, who refused to allow her identity to become known, took her 1a- to Cel. Bright's office, there to try to find the child's parents by the aid of the police machinery. The little one was soothed and questioned, but all she could tell the people around her Was that her name was Smith. This vague Gescription of individuality being of no avail a telephone mes: vas sent to the sixth net station house, on New Jersey ave- hue, and a description of the child was given to the sergeant, who at once recog- nized it as that of a baby who had just been reported to him as lost. So he sent Word at once to the anxious mother, who had called at the station house only a few minutes before, and ‘phoned back to the Senate to héld the little one. Meanwhile the lady who found the child had washed little Miss Smith's tear-stained face and had combed her hair neatly, tak- ing a motherly interest in the waif, and presently the mother appezred. The’ baby ran to greet her, and her first words were: “Mamma, I've had my hair combed.” Oddly enough, the child proved to be that of one of the employes of the Senate fold- ing room, Mr. Joseph M. Smith. She had been missing from home for nearly two hours, and had wandered into the Capitol grounds by the merest accident. The home is on E street between 2d and 3d streets northeast, and the mother was afraid that her baby had found her way to the B. and O. railway tracks. ed Palings, Spear Head, per 100, $1.25. F.

To the Editor of The Eveving Star: Senator Sherman wants to go up to the Seal Islands thls summer and see the spec- tacle of 30,000 young fur geal pups slowly starve to death on the Pribilov Islands, as they starved by actual count on these is- lands last year; but there are other Sena- tore who don’t want this thing to ‘occur again, and they object to such a shame- ful recurrence; they propose to pass the Dingley bill, and end forever that hideous mockery of protection which now dis- graces us and robs our treasury on the Seal Isiands of Alaska. The work which Senator Sherman has cut out in that resolution for a senatorial junket to Alaska which he introduced yes- terday would iake him five years to fin- ish in any sort of practicable form. It Is very doubtful whether he can get five able- bodied men besides himself to make that attempt now in the Senate chamber. A. —————— Keleher-Pywell Estates.

Grand Officers Entertained- by Mt. Pleasant Lodge. The semi-annual visitation of the officers of the Grand Lodge ofOdd Fellows of the District to Mount Pieasant Lodge, No. 23, was made the occasion of a pleasant entertainment last night in Odd Fellows’ Hall, 7th street. Members of the lodge and invited guests to the number of about three hundred gatherediin the lodge room, where an agreeable entertainment was given by local talent. IThe grand officers were welcomed by A. .J. Schippert, noble grand of Mount Pleasant Lodge. Those present were: Richard H. Sorrell, grand master; Thomas J. Jones, deputy grand master; John I. Brown, grand warden; Wm. R. Hunt, grand isecretary; F. A. Stier, grand representative; D. L. Hazard, grand marshal; E. C. Grumley, grand chap- lain; J. G. Durfey, grand guardian; L. H. McDade, grand herald. The following was the program: Prayer, J. Z. Yoder, chaplain of the lodge; bass solo, J. Cathell; sketches in regro dialect, Wm. Downing and L. B. Taylor; tenor sclo, B. F. Taylor; contralto solo, Miss Alice Cruite; recitation, Miss Marion Yoder; cornet solo, Robert Maxwell. a, A masterly and eloquent exposition of the principles of the order was made by Mr. R. Hanna, and Judge Faulkner of Indiana, who has been an Odd Fellow fifty years, gave some Interesting personal reminis- cerces. Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the entertainment. Se Religious Training of Children. ‘To the Editor of ‘The Evening St I have been an interested reader of the reports, so far as shown, of the congress of religious education now in session in this city, and in the main heartily coincide with the views expressed by those who have ad- dressed the congress, and it is gratifying to observe so many deeply impressed with the necessity of religious training to the children of our country. Among the papers I was particularly struck by that of the Rev. Dr. J. M. P. Otts of Greensboro’, Ala., editor of the Alabama Presbyterian, a brief extract of which appeared in last evening's Star, and is as follows: “The religicus character of a community or a nation can never rise above the ave age level of the religious education of the hemes of the people. The religious prin- ciples instilled into the child's mind and heart in the nursery and around the fire- side enter into its life as it grows up and constitute the very warp and woof of its character.” All of which is undoubtedly true, but how about the thousands and hun- dreds of thousands of children who have ho nurseries or firesides, and whose envi- rerments are such that no religious prin- ciples are instilled, or can be instilled, into their youthful minds? Where are they to get even the rudimentary religious education. essential to a Christian child? Not in the slums and tenements of our cities, nor in their boarding houses, where their infant cars of a morning are more likely to be a: sailed with an oath than with a praye! nor on the streets, where their infant steps more often lead to the saloon for beer or whisky for their parents than to the Sun- day school. So far as I have observed the Tapers read and addresses delivered before this congress are of the nursery and _ fir side order, and fail to show how the low million can be taught to lisp the name of the infant Jesus in the morning, and in- ycke His divine protection at night. B. J. OD. — Broke Up the Game. Three policemen and a citizen were in Judge Kimball's court this morning to give evidence against a party of young colored men who were charged with crapshooting. Just one week ago these young men were on the 20th street dump, where there was a ” being played, and those ar- for alleged participation in the were Clarence Landon, Ollie Bean, William Hewett, Roila Jordan, “Honey” King. There was a fire on the dump, and it was Turner, Fred Brown and by the light of this fire that the play: faw the spots on the bones when they Were thrown for “crap” or ‘Little Joe. When the police came along the scattered and went in all direction “I runned wif de others,” said one of the prisoners, “and kept on a-goin’ till I went in de water.” “Why were you playing crap?" “Deed, judge, I wa'nt playin’ crap,” he answered. “I was only lookin’ at de game.” “How did it happen that you were not ying?” Cause I was busted.” The testimony failed to connect all the oners,With the game, and Policeman 1, Who was called, told of alleged con- sions made by most of them. I was in de game,” said one of them. Tain't no use in lyin’ "bout it, ‘eause do co'te can’t do nothin’ but send me down. I know I can't get killed for it.” Fred Brown’s name had not been men- tioned, and the court inquired about him. “He's a professional crapsiooter,” said the officer, “but he didn’t say anything about his connection with the game. “1 know Fred very well,” the court re- marked, “but this charge against him ts dismissed. The others are fined $10 or thirty days each.” ee. Held Up Citizens. yers George Harper ard John Clary were in the Pelice Court teday for vagrancy. They were under the influence of liquor yester- day and “held up” several men on the street. When refused money they used offensive and insulting language. Judre Kimball told Harper that he was going down the hill very fast. When he first ap- peared in court the judge said he wes a gentlemanly little fellow, but he has gone from bad to worse until he has almost reached tha bottom. He was given thirty days and his companion was sent down for two months. ——< Sent to Albany, John Newton, colored, the 21st of last month was released from jail, after serv- ing a sentence of sixty days for petit lar- cery. Five days later he assisted “Dickie” Banks in relieving Charles Yates of a suit of clothes. Today in Criminal Court No. 1 he was convicted of second offense of petit larceny. For the next three years Mr. Newton's mail should be addre: of the superintendent of the Albany peni- tentiary. EE ROYAL BAKING Ss a 53 z 3 = 3 3 2 Absolutely.

Fish and Game Found in the Stalls of Dealers. Following the glut in the fish market last week, the arrivals this week show a decided falling off in the shipments. This is not because there is a scarcity of fish, but some of the seines were taken out of the water when it was found that the sup- ply was so much in excess of the demand, and was larger than could te handled on the small fisb wharf. Yesterday business was not very brisk about the wharf, al- though there was one large consignment of herring rece‘ved by J. H. Richardson for packing purposes, while Charles H. Javins & Sons received a shipment of shad, as fine as were ever taken from the river. Both shad and herring have been un- usually fine this season. Many large rock fish are being caught now, and the fish benches in the Center market today made a good display of products of the Potomac and the Chesapeake bay. Shad are selling at from $8 to $15 a hundred, while herring sell at from $2 to $2.50 a thousand. Frogs are more plentiful than usual. Large ones are bringing $2 a dozen, while the small or cultivated frogs sell’ at 25 cents a pound. Soft crabs are also in mar- ket now. They are from the south, and because of their small size the dealers call them “spiders.” The price asked for them is $1.50 a dozen, and it takes fully a dozen to cover two slices of toast. Hard crabs and crab meat are in good demand, but there is a plentiful supply of both, and prices are reasonable. Game fs not very plentiful just now, nor is there a large variety of it in the mar- ket.
