Fifteen news members were added to the West End McKinley Republican Club at its last night's meeting, and the executive committee was instructed to secure per- manent quarters for the reception and en- tertainment of delegates to the St. Louis convention who may visit Washington on their way west. Enthusiastic speeches were made in favor of Major McKinley’s can- didacy, which were as warmly received. ——___ Study of Ears. The Anthropological Society listened last night to an interesting lecture by Dr.Dana S. Lamb on the subject of “Ears,” and one by Colonel Charlies Allen on “Ways of Identifying Deserters and Criminals in the Army.” Both papers were illustrated and Were replete with statistics and examples. Dr. Lamb spoke of the:ear as an index of character, yet denied that the extended ear was an indication of criminality. A child sleeping habitually on one side, he said, might effect the shape of the ear on that side. causing it to grow nearer the head. “Head dress also had its effect in some countries on the shape ard growth of the ear. Moving the ear, which in animals is a constant habit employed to give warning of danger, is lost in man, ac- cording to Darwin, yet many people, the speaker said, had this power in a remark- able degree. There followed the lecture a ereral discussion of the lobe of the ear and its size and variation in art. ee Celebrated Its Fourth Birthday. The fourth anniversary of the institution of Henry Wilson Post, No. 17, G. A. R., was celebrated by the organization last night In Sheridan Hall. There was a large attendance of the members and invited guests, and an enjoyable program of exer- cises was rendered, including musical selec- tions by Miss M. A. Brown, Miss Mollie Wright, Misses Florence and May Bell Chambers, recitations by Miss Madge Da- ley and Mr. Myers, and addresses by Pen- sion Commissioner Lochren, Commander McElroy, Vice Commander Hunton, Mrs. Barker, Mrs. Johnson, Judge Kimbail, Col. Sweet, Col. Stratton and Dr. Wilson. Dr. Thomas Calver read two original poems. Mrs. Chambers presented a fine photo- graphic group of the Lafayette Relief Corps to the post, for which it was formally ac- cepted in a pleasant speech by Commander Moore.

Canvassing for Quarters for Those Coming to the Great Conven- ; tion in July, Fe Se The entertainment committee of the Chris- tlan Endeavor committee of "86 has se- cured quarters in hotels for the officers and trustees of the United Society and for the Texas, Indiana, Massachusetts, St. Louis, Llinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Connecticut, Tennes- see, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Arkansas, West Virginie, Ken- tucky and Delaware delegations. The ac- commodations thus far contracted for in hotels provide for 4,800 persons, which is but a small part of the great host which it 4s expected will be entertained during the convention. “ Divided Into Districts, The attention of the entertainment com- mittee is now being given to procuring homes for the great mass of delegates who do not wish to be in hotels. For the ac- complishment of this work the city has been divided into eleven districts, and a member of the central entertainment com- mittee placed in charge of each, as follows: District 1—West Washington; Rev. Charles Alvin Smith. District 217th street west to Rock creek, Pennsylvania avenue to the river; W. I. Simpson. District 3—16th street west to Rock creek and Florida avenue, Pennsylvania avenue to Florida avenue; N. T. Elliott. District 4—7th street west to 16th street, Pennsylvania averue to N street; Rev. J. H. Bradford. District 5—ith street west to 16th street, N street to Florida avenue; Rev. F. A. Stier. District 6—North of Florida avenue and west of 7th street; Charles E. Paul. District 7—North Capitol street west to ith street, Pennsylvania avenue to N street; W. W. Warwick. District 8—East of 7th street and north of N street, including Eckington; D. P. Wolhaupter, jr. District 9—Southwest; Glen T. Jones. District 10—Southeast and Anacostia; S. D. Luckett. District 11—Northeast; F. M. Bradley. A House to House Canvass. Under the direction of the member in charge of each section, the auxiliary enter- tainment committee is working in a house- to-house canvass of the city, which fs now well under way in nearly all the districts. The canvassers will learn in what houses accommodations can be secured for the vis- itors, how many will be provided with rooms and meals and what rate will be charged. This information is to be carc- fully recorded, turned over to the sectiun managers and subsequently filed at the headquarters of the committee of ’96, the card index system being used. The task of procuring pleasant homes for the guests and delegates is a large and important one, re- quiring effictency, tact and fidelity on the part of all the members of the central and auxiliary entertainment committees. The canvass has begun in earnest, and it is hoped that it will be promptly completed and that the results will be the securing of accommodations ample for the 60,000 or more visitors in July. — SUMMER CHARITY WORK. Applications for Aid Fell of Greatly in April. The board of maragers of the Associated Charities held yesterday the regular monthly meeting, with a quorum present. The report of the treasurer was read, and showed a balance of $700 on hand. The secretary's report for April showed appli- cations during that month from 207 fami- Hes, against 976 in March. Of these, 144 were white and 153 coiored. Forty people, 13 white and 27 colored, applied for work. Employment was found for 8 persons and 137 families were aided from emergency funds. Neerly all the April cases were where sick-1ess or other disability occurred. ‘The plan of assisting the poor to cultivate vacant lots is to be tried again this year. Ground has already been offered and as- signed, and tris week it is being plowed. More ground is needed, and money to pay for plowirg, procuring s:eds and other in- cidental e>penges,,, Chairman. Janney of the executive committee stated that the committee had considered the status of the work and the present financial ccndition of the society. It proposed to wait a week or 80 to see how the people respond to the call made donation day. The committee wanted to retain the workers in the field during the summer months. In other cities where charity work is carried on successfully the agents were kept in the field all the year round, and so shculd they be in Washing- ton. The matter of retaining or discharg- ing the relief agents was left to the discre- tion of the finance committee. ae Will Filed. The will cf the late Philip Hutchinson, dated April 30, 1895, filed yesterday after- noon, appoints Margaret C. Miller, a daugh- ter, executrix and trustee for Mary N. Soper, a granddaughter. Mary A. Soper and John P. C. Hutchinson, chtldren of the testator, are given $5 each, the residue of the estate being divided between the other child and grandchild. —_—.__ Death of John K. Chandler. John K. Chandler, a brother of Senator Chandler, died at his residence in this city yesterday, in the sixty-fifth year of his age. His wife died about three years ago, and one daughter survives him. Mr. Chandler was bom in Charleston, Mass., and moved to Concord, N. H., with his parents at an early age. When still in his teens he entered a large mercantile establishment in Boston, and afterward was employed by one of the large ship owners of New England. He made several voyages to the East and West Indies, be- came an acomplished Spanish scholar, and was recognized as being especially well in- formed in commercial affairs and in Eng- ish, Spanish and French Hterature. Re- cently he had been engaged in compiling for the Bureau of American Republics the commercial nomenclature in the English, Spanish and Portuguese languages. ——__ The Moody Choir. The last regular rehearsal of the season was held by the Moody choir in the Metro- politan Presbyterian Church last even- ing, Director Percy Foster being present and leading the choruses. Secretary M. D. Peck made his annual report, showing that the choir was in an excellent financial condition, the total amount of money re- ceived up to date being $452.85. The total expenditures have been $152.52, thus leav- ing a balance in the treasury of $300.83. The choir decided last night to cake an outing, selecting Bay Ridge as the place and about the middle of June as the time. The choir counts on taking about 500 ex- cursionists with it. ——__ Spruce Laths, $2.25 Per 1,000. Frank Libbey & Co., 6th st.& New York av. —Advertisement. The ———_ X Rays and Microbes. Surgeon General Sternberg has received an interesting report of the investigations made by Dr. John Stone at Fort Leaven- worth, Kan., on the recent claim of Chi- cago scientists of the power of the X rays to destroy microbes. Dr. Stone, who is now an assistant surgeon in the army, went into the Investigation in a very thorough manner, having the advantage of the com- plete chemical and scientific laboratory at Fort Leavenworth. The report fully dis- proves the claim. Dr. Stone was formerly the resident physician at the Garfield Hos- pital and is the son of Dr. Stone of Bright- wood. —__>___ New Jerusalem Convention. ‘The general convention of the New Jeru- salem, which has been in session for the past few days in the National Church, at 16th and Corcoran streets, was brought to a close last evening with a jubilee service conducted by the Washington society of the crder. A special musical program was pre- dresses sented and a made by a number of speakers. THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY ‘@, 180¢-SIXTEEN PAGES, AMUSEMENTS. Grand Concert.—The second entertain- ment of the HB Street Baptist Church course occurs this evening in the church, between 6th and 7th streets, and consists of a grand concert, in which the following well-known local artists will participate: Mr. Herman Rakemann, violinist; Mr. Henry Xander, plano soloist; Miss Elise Dufour, elocutionist, and a selected quar- tet, composed of Mrs, H. Clay Browning, soprano; Mrs. Margaret Nolan-Martin, contralto; Mr. Wm, D, McFarland, tenor, and Mr. J. Henry Kaiser, baritone. It is seldom that so many leading people in their respective lines are brought together in a single entertainment, and as the pro- gram has been arranged to give oppor- tunity for them to be heard singly and to- gether in popular music it is expected that they will be greeted by a full house. The lest entertainment of the course will be given May 19, barags Se lecture by the ever+ Popular humorist, Robert J. Burdette, who will tell “The Story of Rolla.” Lecture on California.—The second lec- ture of the course on California was de- livered last evening at All Souls’ Church by Mrs. Lucy Underwood McCann. Ex- cellent views were used to illustrate the talk, while the glowing words of the speak- er pictured a land full of delightful and enjoyable features. Mrs. McCann dwelt upon the beautiful scenery of the golden state and then spoke of the climate, not forgetting, however, to tell what man had accomplished in the midst of the natural wonders. The third lecture of the course will take place tonight at the church, the Proceeds of the course being used for the benefit of the Mission Cooking School. Mrs. McCann was state representative from California to the Atlanta exposition and is eminently fitted to talk on her na- tive state. Star Cast of ‘The Rivals.""—Joseph Jeffer- son was born in Philadelphia. William H. Crane was born in Leicester, Mass., a short distance from Boston, in which y the comedian spent his boyhood. Nat C. Good- win was born in Boston and lived there un- tl he ran away from home to become a strolling player. Francis Wilson first saw the light of day in Philadelphia, and his early ambition was to become a negro min- Strel. Robert Taber was born in New York city, and so were Joseph and E. M. Hol- land. Mrs. John Drew, who has graced the stage for seventy-six years, was born in England and was brought to this country when she was but a little tot. Julia Mar- lowe Taber was also born in England and, like Mrs. Drew, was brought to this coun- try long before she was in her teens. Fan- ny Rice is another native of New England, having been born in Lowell, Mass. It is these celebrated players who are to appear in the presentation of “The Rivals” waich is to be given at the Lafayette Square Op- era House Saturday evening, May 9. Kernan’s Lyceum Theatcr.—The attrac- tion st Kernan’s this week is a good one. It is Sam Jack’s Extravaganza Company, and although the show is now playing its second engagement in this city, it has been materially changed and strengthened. The original extravaganza, “The Bull Fighter,” is retained, and, with the addition of sev- eral new comedians and a score of preity and shapely damsels, is better than ever before. But the feature of the performance is the collection of living pictures. Then there are a host of specialties—all good. The Brothers La Moyne do a remarkable triple bar act. Phillips and Robinson, as the twentieth century girls, were clever, as were also the sketches of Foster und Lewis and Clements and Barnes. During the Western trip of the Washington Base Ball Club, Manager Kernan has arranged to have the game reproduced each afternoon on the stage in its minutest detail. The Cantata of “Belshazzar."—The can- tata of Belshazzar was rendered at Odd Fellows’ Hall last night by a large chorus, assisted by soloists, for the benefit of Grace M. E. Church. The director of the chorus was Mr. Thomas G. Young, while Prof. Emil Mort acted as accompanist. The different characters in the cantata weré taken by O, H. Young, J. Arthur Rose, J. L. Flynn, G. F. Rollings, J. F. Erdman, Bessie Iola Latham, Daisy B. O'Neil, Hen- rietta E. Worch, Edna Brenner, Lula E. Meinhind, Ida V. Adt, May Isel, Sophia F. Fritsch, J. H. Galleher and Bernard K. Gibson, the work being sung in costume, with appropriate scenery. Those who sung in the chorus were Misses Gusta Bergman, Laura E. Cole, Bertha 8. Davis, Mollie FE. Davis, Mabel Donnelly, Nellie IE. Davis, Hortiase Dawson, Abbie B. Godfrey, Lydia Hyde, May Isel, Etta Jackson, Hattie Love- less, Amelia Meinhind, Mary J. Robey, Vida Stevenson, Ida Sibley, Eva A. Terry, and Messrs. Louis H. Bergman, F. Y. Dawson, Horatio D. Dawson, J. Harvy Davis, Ches- ter C. Groff, Diller F. Groff, Harry G. Isel, Wm. L. Lynn, Chas. A. Moulden, Herman F. Mandler, E. D. Moling, N. Z. Mell, Wm. Walter Potbury and Ezra R. Stevenson. The cantata was divided into five acts, each having a number of scenes. A large audi- ence was in attendance and the church will: profit greatly from the results, The per- formance will be repeated tonight. “Our Country’s Needs.’"—A lecture will be delivered in Memorial United Brethren Church, corner R and North Capitol streets, this evening on the subject of “Our Coun- try’s Needs.” A musical program will pre- cede the lecture and the public is cordially invited to attend. Barnum and Bailey's Circus.—The’ bane of the school teacher's life in the spring and the joy of the school children is the annual visit of the circus, and especially Barnum and Bailey's aggregation. This. year the show is newer and more complete than ever, and embraces every feature of amusement possible to associate with a legitimate circus. The show will be here Monday and Tuesday afternoons and even- ings, next, the lot at 3d and P streets be- ing used for the purpose of exhibiting the wonders. The feature this year of the cir- cus will be the human arrow, Alar, who is shot from an immense, powerful crossbow high into the air and through a small tar- get. The feat is a hair-raising one, and is considered to be the most perilous cne ever attempted in the air. Besides Alar, the show is supplied with a great number of aerial acrobats, who do everything that could be imagined on the lofty apparatus. The street parade this year wiil be finer than ever, and the school children will en- joy it as one of the treats of the season. The animals, including Johanna, the. fa- mous gorilla giantess, are exceptionally fine, and make up a collection exceediagly hard to excel in any way. The regular ad- vance on admission seats will prevall at Bradbury’s, but reserved seats will be the Same. Seats are now on sale. Dr. Talmage to Lecture.—At Allen’s Grand Opera House Friday evening, May 15, the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage will deliver his new lecture, entitled “My Journey Around the World,” for the benefit of the Garfield Memorial Hospital. Dr. Talmage is un- questionably one of the most notable re- ligious figures in the world at this time. He ts one of the few ministers in the whole history of modern evangelism who has at- tained world-wide celebrity, and whose ser- mons and lectures have won a place of high literary honor. Dr. Talmage has kind- ly volunteered his services, and the entire proceeds will be devoted to the Garfield Memorial Hospital fund. Seats will be on sale at the box office of Allen's Grand Opera House on and after Monday, May 12. — St. Paul's Festival. A thriving business was done last evening at the lawn fete and festival of St. Paul’s Church, in progress at 15th and V streets. The rain early in the evening had the ef- fect of materially diminishing the attend- ance, but, nevertheless, a throng of good- natured folks, generous, both in size and with its cash, enjoyed a pleasant evening. The camel attracted considerable atten- tion last evening, while the post. office, with its special delivery system, fairly coin- ed money. All the booths were well pa- tronized, and everything points to even exeater success than was at first antici- pated. ROYAL BAKING POWDER. Absolutely Pure.

Some Hope for dhe Home for Destitute ‘Women=Opinion of the Court tof Appeals. ‘The Court of Appeals, in an opinion filed late yesterday mfternoon, reverses the judg- ment of the lewer court in the matter of the estate of the late Anna M, Maulsby, who died July 80, 1892. She left a will dated November 80, 1886, and letters of ad- ministration were granted to Louisa D. Lovett and Ida Corson, nieces. A letter ‘was addressed by the testatrix to her sis- ters, Emma L. Breese and Charlotte Bost- wick. The former having died, the latter Geclined to servo as executrix. In the letter above mentioned Mrs. Mauls- by expressed the desire that a memorial to her mother, in the shape of a home for destitute women, to be placed in charge of St. John’s Church, and situated on Kalo- rama Heights, be constructed. Ida Cor- son, with @ vestryman, was to act as trus- tee, and $80,000 was set aside for the object. The letter was not admitted to probate as part of the will, and a petition filed by the vestry of St. John’s Church for a re- consideration of the matter was also re- fused. The Court of Appeals holds that the letter should have been admitted to probate. But the court also holds that “it will remain for a tourt of construction to determine whether the charity therein pro- vided for is of such legal validity as to be capable of enforcement.” The court also says that while the vestry “may not have a legal interest in the sub- ject-matter, it clearly has such a parochial interest in the charity placed in its charge as to entitle it to bring the instrument to the attention of the ceurt and ask its ad- mission.” ‘fhe case was therefore remanded for further proceedings. ——_— THE MORTON CADETS. Its Drill Team Put Up a Splendid Ex- hibition in Convention Hall. That th» Morton Cadets cre popular was thoroughly attested last evening when sev- eral thousand persors gathered in Conven- tion Hall to witness an exhibition drill by the youngsters prior to their departure for the Savannah interstate crill. Pretty girls were very much in evidence, and when the drill team, wearing the neat company black fatigue uniform, put in an appearance a continued round of applause greeted it. Headed by the Second Regiment Band, the team marched around the hall several times, and then for half an hour or more gave the spectators an expert interpreta- tion of the drill regulations in the school of the company. The drill was very nearly perfect in every respect and was a revela- tion to the majority of those who saw it. Although handicapped by a waxed and polished ficor, the Mortons went through the moverrents in double time as creditably as though on turf, and the unanimous opin- jon wes.that the company. will have no dif- ficulty in bestng all competitors at Sdvan- eatin! Rockieeien of the drill Capt. Shil- Ting held quite a reception, and ‘was kept busy replying to complimentary remarks from those who saw the exhibition. A number of prominent military men were in attendance. oe Death of Edward Hawkins, Edward Hawkins, fifty-six years a resi- dent of Washington, died last evening after an {less of three months. Mr. Hawkins was born in Montgomery county, Md., eighty-cight. years ago. He had been a member of Washirgton Lodge of Odd Fel- lows forty-eight years, and joined the Metirodist church sixty years ago. The funeral will take place from his late resi- dence, 403 S street, tomorrow afternoon. _ ar Mend, per 100, $1.25. , op. Canvention Hall.—Advt. Palings,>5p F. Libbey & — Ineffective Wheel Guards. To the Editor ef ‘The Evening Sta In regard to the death of Dr. Moffatt by being run over by a Columbia car lately, it was not so much the fault of the “fend- er” as the utter failure of the “wheel guard” under the car. The “fender” is to catch people who are standing on the track. The. ‘wheel guard” is to pick up those who are lying on the track. Had the “wheel guara’ on the car that ran over the doctor been a truly automatic safety device he would not and could not have been materially injured. It would not have been possible to have run over the doctor with. an effective “wheel. guard” on the car. This has been demonstrated time and again in this city through experiments with effective devices.» CITIZEN. _-—. -— cortoGrand Jury indictments. The grand jury yesterday afternoon re- turned the following indictments. Frank Jordan, larceny; James Perkins, Shakes- peare Lee and David Johrson, setting up a gaming table; Benjamin Williams, assault with intent to kill; Albert, alias William, Webster, and Wm. Smith, false pretenses; Amelia Williams, larceny from the person; Frederick, alias Frank, alias Fred, Nelson and Frank Lewis, alias Lewis Mansfield, do., two cases: Viola Link, do. The charge of larceny from the person against John Howard, and that of assault with intent to kill against Sarah Robinson were ignored. —_—> To Talk of Theosophy. Dr. Ernest T.

Reverdy Stewart, Virginia; James L. Whiteside, Maryland. All the young dentists were heartily ap- Plauded as they received their diplomas. Prof. L. C. F. Hugo delivered the address to the graduates, full of sound advice, mixed with witticisms and humor, to make it more palatable. He told the graduates the lessons to be learned from failure and cautioned them against becoming dis- couraged in the struggling period while they were establishing themselves. Prof. Hugo was followed by the class valedictorian, Joseph L. Egan, whose re- marks were liberally applauded. Great Interest centered in the award of prizes to those who had stood highest in the three years’ course in general excel- lence. The first prize was captured by Ed- ward F. Concklin, and the second and third, respectively, by James L. Whiteside and Wilmer Hall —— RAILROAD VICTORIOUS. B. and 0. Engineers Can Run Past Unprotected Crossings. In an opinion filed in the Court of Appeals after the adjournment of the court yester- day afternoon, the judgment of the lower court in the case of Engineer William Smith of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- Pary was reversed, and the release of the man directed. The judgment of the lower court in the case of Isaiah Stevens, an en- gineer in the same company, was also re- versed, and the discharge of the man ordered. Smith was convicted in the Police Court several months ago of violating the act of the legisiative assembly of 1871 in running a train across R street, Eckington, when the crossing was unprotected by either a gateman or by gates. The defendant, claim- ing that the act does not apply in the sub- urbs, petitioned for his discharge on habeas corpus, he having been sentenced to the work house In default of a fine. Judge Cole refused to grant the petition, whereupon the matter was carried to the Court of Appeals. That court holds that the act, being con sidered as a whole, does not apply outside the limits of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, and the man was, therefore, wrongfully charged and convicted. Stevens’ case was a similar one, although the crossing in that instance was within the city limits. But the Court of Appeals holds that the act of 1871 is repealed by the act of Congress of January 26, 1887. —~—.__. Husband is Insane. Elizabeth A. Little, wife of Thomas H. Little, sr., has filed a petition in the Equity Court praying that she be appoint- ed the committee of her husband, whe, she states, is insane, and under treatme at St. Elizabeth’s Asylum.

I have learnt caution by driving a great deal in country districts, where guarded crossings are rot taken as a matter of course, and, seeing no gatoman or gates, stopped within @ hundred feet of the tracks to listen for train. Freight cars completely shut out the view on each side, but as neither the lady with me, nor the coachman behind, nor my- self heard any sound, we decided to take our chances. e horses had just started when an incoming express train, runnin; tly nolselessly, eid had time to get up any speed I could not have stopped again in time. No bell was rung by the train, nor apy precaution of any sort or kind taken by the railroad com- part of the blame on therefore, consider it my duty to make a statement of this occur- rence, in which a terrible accident was only avoided by chance, and by what would have seemed to most people in the city unreason- ably cautious driving on my part. The com- pany is in every respect morally as culpable as if all three persons in the carriage had been killed outright. B. WILD WITH ECZEMA.
