EPWORTH LEAGUE MUSIO. 4m Old Folks Concert Arranged for the Coming Week. ‘The members and friends of the District Epworth League will spend Wednesday evening, April 29, at Metzerott Hall, the oc- casion being “Ye olde folkes concerte” and reception by ye maids, attired in costumes prevalent in the last century. This com- pany was organized early in the fall of 1894, with a chorus of sixty voices, and an crchestra of twelve pieces, all under the direction of Prof. Wm. J. Palmer, fourth vice president of the District league. The histery of this organization is quite interesting. Mr. Palmer being well known in Methodist circles, was requested by one ef the churches to give a concert. From this start the company has been unable to meet the great demand upon it for dates. ‘The concerts have always been gratuitously given for some worthy charitable institu- tion. The Methodist Home of the Aged has been financially aided, as well as several of the local Methodist churches, from the re- ceipts of the concert. The library of the or- ganization embraces many productions of a highly humorous order. Among the solo- ists, who have not only good voices, but considerable dramatic talent, are: Miss Ella Knight, contralto, who is also an ac- complished violinist: Misses Gertrude Dana, Maggie Sterns and Ella Lawrenson, Messrs. Walter Humphries, Ed. Webb, Ferris and Wm. J. Palmer are among the soloists. The Douglas Quartet, composed of Misses Houchen, Wheat, Branson and Lawrenson; Mr. Henry, with his euphonium, and Mr. Fahnestock’s flute will be pleasant features of the concert. The comic songs of Mr. Fred Darling will be listened to with much pleasure. Mr. Palmer is organizing a chorus of 200 voices for the rendering of special music for the mass meetings of the district league. This chorus will appear for the first time at the anniversary meeting at McKendree M. E. Church Friday evening, May 15. The True Basis of Universal Peace. ‘To the Editor of The Eveniug Star: The national arbitration conference just closed in our capital city was a notable event; but in some respects it was antici- pated in China nearly twenty-five centuries ego. Before, and at that time, eastern Asia was divided into feudal states, often at war with each other for supremacy. Each state was capable of bringing into the field 10,000 or more chariots of war with bow and spearmen, besides cavalry and foot sol- diers. No portion of the globe had been so drenched with human blood, though prac- tically the several states were one in Iiter- ature, in the arts and in religious ideas, as expressed in their classics. A great states- man and prime minister of the state of Sung, named Hearig Seuh, born some G00 years B. C., conceiv a plan of league and arbitration between the state: to put and end to their oft-recur wa With this end in view he Visited the capitals of the different states, submitted his plan to their several ministers, heard their views and procured their nominal assent. Even the leadin; Statesmen of Tsin, the most aggressive of all the feudal states, acknowledged that “war was destructive to the people, ate up the resources of states and that it was th greatest po: ‘alamity to small states E h’s plan would probably turn out ble, but we must give it our tion, fur if we do not other great states improve their position to eur eee other great feudal ame way, and all appearcd willing. Having succceded thus far, Seuh called a = of representatives from the various spring of they met in the capital of Sung, cussed the whole question of arbitration, covenant of peace. ‘wo of the states would not accept all the conditions; but on the whole a compact was made and about to be ould be war no more throughout th world of China. But before the final c ; © of the conference one of the represent tives of the state of Ts o) ed the whole plan of mutual ec mn, and In substance exclaim Who can do away with the instruments of war? ‘They have been leng in requisition. 1; them the lawless are kept in awe and ac. cofnpiished virtue (a superior civilization) is di: ed. On them depends the p vation or the ruin of a country; and are seeking to do away with them. Your scheme is a delusion, and there could be no greater offense to lead the states Statesman’s address le@ the conference and no! of it, for it had no binding power. The state of Tsin at that time was aim ersal empire, and which was final; consolidated under the dynasty of Han. Thus the first attempt in cur world to put an end to war on principles of ex- pediency and by political arrangement end- ead in failure, as it always will, because greater motives must sway the hearts of men. It is a very interesting fact that Confu- cius, the world’s greatest ethical teacher, was but a lad sixteen years of age at the time this conference was In session. In due time he too traveled extensiv over the feudal states of China. and by gather- ing, teaching and bianeathing to the black . good will and reciproct has solved the only true basis of universal peace. VARNUM D. COLLINS. How to Remedy the Evil. To the Faltor of The Evening S Relative to government clerks who will not pay their just debts when able to do s0, I desire to say that the honest em- ploy who are greatly In the majority, would be glad to have the “dead-beats” weeded out of the departments. No legis- lation on the subject is necessary. The remedy lies with the appointing power. Unjust claims are sometimes made, and the accused clerk should have the benefit of any doubt which may exist. The heads of departments cannot be expected to re- solve themselves Into courts of justice to try such ¢ but something could be done in that direction. If a debt for neces- sarics Is admitted, or tf judgment for the amount has been obtained in a court of law, Une delinquent clerk should be given a reas: ile time to make a settlement, and if he fatls-to pay the debt, his place should be g to some mere worthy person, If promotions and tenure of office depended more upon honesty, ability and efficiency and less upon influence and politics, it would he considered an honor to hold’ an appointment under the government. A per- son would be respected and trusted, from the mere fact that he holds such a posi- tion, which is hardly the case under the present system. The man who cheats his lanVady will swirdle the government if he gets a chanc>, The clerk who finds it cheaper to move than to pay rent should be made to move out of the government service. I, for one, do not wish to be associated with such people. Turn the rascals out. GOVERNMENT CLERK. —_——- Taken to Chicago. The body of John Riley, the old man who ied in the alms house several days ago, has been taken to Chicago by his son-in- law for burial. His son-in-law, Mr. Edge- wood, says that the old man owned several boats on the Mississippi river about the beginning of the war. His whole heart and soul were with the Union and he lost all he had in the cause of his country. The old man lived at the house of Mrs. Mary Miller at No. 1208 Maryland avenue, and Was prosecuting a claim before Congress. Mrs. Miller looked after him and he was also assisted by the members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. When he died Mrs. Miller interested herself in his behalf and had his body interred tn Mount Olivet cemetery, from where it was removed yes- terday. ——_- Boycott Declared Off. Engineers’ Union, No. 6678, American Federation of Labor, at its regular meet- ing last evening unanimously adopted a resolution toethe effect that the members believe the boycott against the Washington breweries unjust and detrimental to local labor and therefore -do not recognize the boycott, but declare it off and pledge them- J selves to patronize home industry.

VIADUCTS Senator MoMillan's Bill May Pass This Congress. Believed That the Compromise ‘Will Be Satinfactory—A Design of the Proposed Improvement. The bill ccmpelling the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to elewate its tracks in this city, recently introdaced by Senator Mc- Millan, 1s expected topass during this Con- gress, 1f not at this Fession. It represents, in its present form, the combined proposi- tions of the railroad company and Senator McMillan, who has devoted a great deal of attention to this subject, and who Js es- pecially anxious that something should be cone within a year toward the abolition of the grade crossing evil in this city. The railroad company, having made nu- merous promises that never wept, has at last Leen forecd to realize that the time has arrived when something must be done, or else the company will lose cer- tain valuable privileges now enjoyed. To this end the order of the Commissioners now pending In court requiring the steam trains entering the city to be halted hefore crossing rapid transit street car tracks was invoked, and the suggestion was held cut to the railroad company chat if some carn- est were not given by the company of a disposition to fulfill past promises with re- gard to grade crossings there might be a bill Prepared and pressed embodying this prop- csition. In view of these facts the company offered its plan for an abolition ef the grade cross- ings, although it was and still 1s embar- ressed by the receivership and the pending pians for reorganization, and Senator Mc- Millan has. received assurances that the company is sincere In Its offer to elevate its tracks. The hill as it now stands pro- vides for two viaducts from the intersec- tion of Delaware avenue and H street to the city Imits, and one from that point to the station. In other words, the present plan of trackage Is to he maintained with the exception that the Metropolitan branch will go out of town by way cf Delaware avenue instead of Ist street east, the pres- ent route. The citizens of Northeast Wash- ington protest that it 1s unnecessary to grant the road the right to use two viaducts, and insist that the problem ye solved by the requirement that the two branches shall be joined at about Eckington and thence brought Into the city by way of the Dela- ware avenue viaduct. The Compromise Acceptable. But the railroad compa ny vu that this would seriously d y trains on the Balti- more and w York run, and argues that if it is willing to go to the great expense of a second viaduct for the sake of saving about twenty minutes the citizens to be willing to gance, esp ly as wiil all be abolished.

Allen’s Grand Opera House.—Tonight the Choral Society will give its last concert this season at Allen’s Grand Opera House. Mendelssohn's oratorio “Elijah” will be sung, and it is expected that the grand choruses will be sung with full force and effect. The society has diligently rehearsed them under the capable direction of Dr. H. C. Sherman and all the members are en- thusiastic over their work. The quartet will be; Miss Meredith, soprano; Miss Fen- derson, contralto; Mr. Henderson, tenor, and Ericsson Bushnell, bass. All these singers have good reputations, and Mr. Bushnell has sung the title role here befor and is probably the best exponent of that part now upon the oratorio stage. The so- ciety will also be assisted by the Philhar- monic and Apollo quartets, both organiza- tions being well known for individual and collective excellence. The accompaniment will be piano and organ. It was intended to have the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, but the board of directors finally decided that it would not be wise to increase the debt of the society $100 at this time, and so canceled the engagement. Mr. John Porter Lawrence will preside at the piano and Mr. D. G. Pfeiffer at the organ. Sacred Concert.—Mrs. Gen.
