The subject of this particular lecture will be “‘Savonarola and the Medici,” the gen- eral subject of the whole course being “Florence, from Dante to Michael An- gelo.” Tickets for the remainder of the course may now be secured for $1.75, and the few remaining show the popularity of the lectures. These remaining: course tick- ets, as well as single seats, may be secured at Metzerott’s music store.

Some magnifice: mens have been shown, and the ones to be exhibited will be appropriate to the text of the lecture. Mr. Ffoulke possesses one of the finest collections of tapestries in the world, and the majority of them will be shown in conjunction with this course of lectures. Appreciation of Mr. Shaw's pow- ers as a lecturer is on the increase, and his popularity is evidenced by the increased attendance at edch succeeding lecture.

Though chairs were placed in all the open spaces, a large number of pei in the aisles and ve stand during the entire service, while many more, unable to find entrauce, left the church grounds: At the proper time the rector, the Rey. Gilbert F. Williams, with the prescribed words of the appropriate office, presented twenty-six candidates, mostiy adults, to the bishop for the sacred rite ef the of hands. laying on ‘The bishop's sermon to the con- nd address to the newly con- earnest words spoken in sim- plicity, of comfort and encouragement. Especially did he impress upon the candi- dates the importance of fervid devotion to their Savior and faithfulness in prayer for grace to live more and more to the glory of God and thus to the eternal welfare of their own souls. ‘The music by the double quartet choir, as usual, was of a high order and beautifully and impressively rendered, making evident the value in vocal harmonies of the voices of females. Previous to the church servic the bishop went into the large Sund school room of this parish and from the desk catechised the children and addressed them, congratulating them on the readiness and intelligence of their responses to his questions. ————— BISHOP DIAZ KNOWN HER What Rev. Dr. Stnkely Says of the American Missionary. Bishop Diaz,.the American missionary, who has just been released by the Spanish authorities in Havana, on condition that he leaves Cuba at once, is well known in this city. He was present during the southern Baptist conference which was held last summer at the First Baptist Church, and was the guest of Rev. Dr. C. A. Stakel: In conversation with a Star reporter this morning, Dr. Stakely said: “Strictly speak- ing Rev. Mr. Diaz is not a bishop except in the sense that every baptist minister is a bishop. He has long been regarded as one of the ablest Protestants that ever worked on the Island of Cuba. He is a cultivated and highly educated gentleman, being a gradu- ate of the University of Havana, and he also holds the degree of doctor of medicine. He might be called an apostolic man, for he is earnest, dignified and of marked abilit: One would as soon suspect him of being gaged in any underhanded act as he wouid suspect any man of integrity and standing in this community. He is a man of charm- ing personality. I am certain that he is an American citizen, having taken out natural- ization papers in New York years ago, after the ten years’ war. It is a mistake t® say that In his missionary work he is supported by the Baptists of Georgia. He is taken care of by the southern Baptist conference, which includes all the southern states as far west as Missouri, and it is pretty safe to say that he will be in attendance at the next conference in Chattanooga.’ Maurer's RAT vA US E eer Powpa Ard rea ener bat only MAU st.,Philadelpbia,Pa, | apl-156t Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskers docs its work thoroughly, coloring uniform brown or Diack, which, when dry, will neither rab, wash off OPPOSED TO TWO VIADUCTS. Northeast Citize: The citizens of Northeast Washington and representatives of the board of trade are not at all satisfied with the so-called McMillan bill providing-for bringing the Baltimore and Ohio tracks into the city on two viaducts. As stated in The Star, the citizens of Northeast Washington have protested against the two-viaduct plan as unnecessary, since the problem may be solved in a much simpler and more satis- factory way by requiring the two branches of the railroad to be joined outside the city and brought in by a single viaduct on Delaware avenue. The plan proposed in the McMillan bill, and which it is asserted maaliond ae of the railroad com- » involves a much greater expense than the plan proposed by the board of trade committee and the citizens’ associa- tion. It has been asserted by the repre- sentatives of the citizens’ association that the two-viaduct plan has been put forward merely for the purpose of defeating the more reasonable measure drawn up by the citizens. At a recent conference between the committee of the Northeast Washing- ton Associativua having charge of this mat- ter and the board of trade committee on steam railroads it was decided unani- mously to oppose the two-viaduct plan. The principal reason urged against this plan was that the route which the bill proposes that the railroad shall follow from 10th street and Florida avenue to the Proposed station is a circuitous one, cut- ting up six squares in @uch a way as to practically unfit them for any other use. The route laid down also would make it necessary for the whole of I street from 2d to 6th to be abandoned completely to the uses of the rallroad. Members of the Northeast Washington citizens’ committee state that the argument recently made in favor of the railroad'’s plan that it would save twenty minutes’ time to the railroad company does not stand examination. It is recalled that the railroad company last » in arguing against the Sherman bill, contemplated a single viaduct, laimed that it would require an extra ) feet of track, a loss of only two min- utes’ time when measured according to the speed allowed trains to run within the city limits. The plan now favored by the board of trade committee and the citizens’ com- mittee involves. it is claimed, absolutely no loss of time or distance for the railroad company. The two branches will be con- nected outside the city Imits and come down to the station by a viaduct along Delaware avenue. This, they assert, gives a plan providing not only a shorter line for entering the city, but one involving much less expense on the part of the railroad company. It is now under consideration by the District Commissioners. In view of this plan, members of these committees think that it is entirely unreasonable to give any consideration whatever to the measure proposed by the railroad company. — Capt.
