The laying of the corner stone of the new hall of Gonzaga College, which waa probably the last public ceremony to be performed by Cardinal Satolli before his return to Rome, took place yesterday. Long before the hour set for the begin- ning of the ceremonies, 4 p.m., hundreds of persons from every part of the city as- semebled in the vicinity, and eagerly awajted the opportunity to enter the grounds of the college, where the exercises were conducted. Shortly before 4 o'clock a procession was formed on I street, consisting of the Em- met Guards, Gonzaga Cadets, Knights of John, Catholic Knights of America, Ancient Order of Hibernians and Young Men’s Catholic Club, and headed by St Peter's Drum Corps, marched to. the res!- dence of Cardinal ‘Satelli, from whence escorted the following dignitaries to college campus: Cardinal Satolli, Rt. Bishop Keane, rector Catholic Uni- ; Very Rev. Monsignor Sharretti, or apostolic delegation; Very Rev. ignor Stephan, Very Rev. Father » S. J. president Georgetown Uni- yi Rev. John Gloyd, rector of St. Patrick's Che Rey, Father Scanlan, S. J., rector of Trinity Ghurch; Rev. Father Kent, O. P., rector St. Dominic's; Rev. Father De Wolff, Brookland; Rev. James 3 Washington;’ Rev. Father arthy, S.J., of Baltim and Rev. ther Fullerton’ of Jersey _The route of march was lined with hun- Greds of citizens and many private rest- together with the parsonage of St. us Church and the grounds of Gon- re decorated in honor of dence: The Ceremonies. Upon reaching the corner stcne, over Which a covered platform, which was hand- somely decorated, had been erected, the ceremony of laying the stone was at once conducted. These were simple, but impos- ing, and consisted of sprealing the mortar over the box containing the archives of the oceasion with a silver trowel by Car- dinal Satollj, who also placed a smail flat stone fn the cavity, and after burning incense, sprinkled ‘the stone with holy water. The stone itself and the inscriptions thereon have been already fully described in The Star. The contents of the copper box, which was placed in the stone, were mes of Pope Leo, Cardinal Satolli, nal Gibbons, Pre: t Cleveland and the members of his cabinet, the provincial, t or and the professors of Gonzaga College, copies of The Star and other daily papers of the city, and coins of various «de- nominations, including a dime of 1821, found by Capt. Cunningham of the District government while supe tending some excavations in Georget a few days ago, and at a depth of sixtesn feet below the surface of the ground. The trowel which Cardinal Satollt used in the geremony was subsequently presented to him. Bishop Keane's Address. As soon as these ceremonies, which were performed in the presence of thousands, were concluded, a procession of the dig- nitaries already named and a number of other priests, professors in Gonzaga Col- lege, acolytes and others was formed, and proceeded to a stand erected in the campus, where, after all had been seated, Bi Keane delivered the address of the oc sion. In part, Bishop Keane said: “I con- gratulate Father Gillespie upon the be- ginning of a work for which he planned for many years, and for which there has long been need—a general assembly room in which the students could meet their teachers, their parents and their friends, and where, on suitable occasions, they could give evidence of the ability they possessed. " “God's providence is alwa right, and this was demonstrated when Father Gil- lespie was called to preside over the dc tinies of Gonzaga College. Tr Gilles- pie at once began to try to carry out the plans he had formed while yet a prof: sor. But he was hampered for money, for even God's work cannot be carried on with- eut money. The good Mr. Tynan, when about to pass away from this life, pro- vided for a gift of $15,000 to the college for the purpose of building a hall, and kind friends have made up another $15,600, so that Father Gillespie could make a start toward attaining his ambitions in this di- rection. “This day's event demonstrates that the college has attained a solidity that gives noble promise for the future. This day gives us assurance that the college has begun an onward and upward march that will place it in the position that is its due as one of the greatest educational insti- tutions In the capital city of the republic. “Washington is fast becoming a city of universities, Dut universiues are founded upon colieges, and universities can be solid only in proportion as the colleges upon which they are founded are thoroughly crganized. Gonzaga College seems destined to be one of the greatest educational fac- tors of this great educational center. “Georgetown College is naturally the great boarding school of the Jesuit fathers. Gonzaga College ought naturally to be their great day school; but since the ex- perience of more than three centuries has demonstrated that among the educators of youth the Jesuit fathers stand pre- eminent, surely it ought to be a matter of course that Georgetown and Gonzaga should stand pre-eminent among the homes of learning in this great educational cen. ter.” After speaking of the advantages of a Christian education, Bishop Keane said: “A boy must learn to show what Is in him in order that his abilities may exercise a beneficial influence in order that he may live net only for hls own welfare, but also for his fellow-men. Many a boy will go forth a better developed, a better traincd, a better equipped man for the battle of life because of the training he will receive in s hall, ~ onzaga College fully appreciates this debt that it owes to the boys. It not only teaches them how to recite their lessons and say their prayers, but it teaches them how to handle the musket, how to beat the drum, how to sound the horn, how to march in soldierly array. She does nos, in- deed, wish that her boys should ever shed the blood of their fellow-men, but she does wish that if their country. shoutd ever de- mand the sacrifice, they will be willing to die for their fatherland.” This sentiment of Bishop Keane was en- thusiastically applauded, and, after some further remarks, Bishop Keane closed his address with an cloquent appeal for tinan- cial aid for the college. The procession then moved to St. Aloy- sius Church, where the benediction was given by Cardinal Satolli. The ceremonies were concluded by the firing of a salute by the Emmet Guards, who were stationed on the college campus near by. e Later Father Gillespie entertained at dinner the clergy who had taken part in the ceremonies, the professors of Gonzaga College and all the priests of St. Aloysius Church. ——E By Rail to Arlington.

Of course, the inevitable encores were in evidence, the popular bandmaster being just as accom- modating as ever, and playing all of his own tuneful productions that he knew the audience was waiting for. One of his new productions, the march “El Capitan,” was given for the first time last evening, and it immediately caught the fancy of the audience. The other numbers given were in the artistic and pleasing manner which is usual with the works where the march King leads. A new soloist was brought forWard last evening in the person of Mlle. Jeanne Franks, a violinist of merit. She rendered a Hungarian rhapsody by Hauser and received generqus applause. The other soloists were Miss Minnie ‘Tracey, who has been heard here before in grand opers and Mr. Arthur Pryor, trombone soloist. Miss Tracey's work was fully up to the standard, and she was enthusiastically re- ceived. She sung Flegier's “Stances,” and upon receiving an emphatic encore re- sponded with Arditi’s waltz song, ‘Parla.’ Mr. Pryor showed his wonderful command over the difficult instrument, of which he is the imaster, and delighted his hearers with an artistically rendered number. “Her Brother Rob.""—The new play which is to be presented at the Nattonal tonight, “Her Brother Bob,” is expected by its author, Mr. Charles Bradley, to be a suc- cess, although he says that any short- comings will be the fault of the play and not of the company. The company, with Miss Mary Sanders, have arrived tn the city, accompanied by Mr. Bradley, from New York, where rehearsals have been conducted at the ceum ‘heater. Those who are in the personnel of the company, besides Miss Sanders, are Joseph Wheel r.. Percy brooke, Charles Mackay, indlay, Maud Monroe end Agnes Ten Hur.—The lecture on Ben Hur, one of the most popular talks of the season, judging by the many times it been repeated at different places within the city, will be given tomorrow even- ing by its author, Rev.

The ad- mission to the lecture will be twenty-tive een and the entire proceeds will be turn- ed over to the chief of the fire department. The Mistletoe Bough.—The three-act op- eretta of “The Mistletoe Bough” was pre- sented urday afternoon at Metzerott Music Hall by fifty society children, under the direction of Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, who adapted the operetta from the ballad of that name. The audience was large and appreciative, many notable persons appear- ing in the gathering. The children acted and sung the different parts in a finished manner, and the whole production was calculated to please even the most critical and Miss Mary Stone sang the t of bride, who has the the young mishap on her wedding day, and is found fitty years afterward in the chest, while Master W. McKaig made leve to her as Lord Lovel. The baron and baroness were Chaunce and Miss Lydia Loring, r hose who took part as village folk were Mi: Margaret Har- rison, rgaret Lothrop, Jean Loring, Norma aulding, Marion Wilson, Masters Marry Gilmore, ‘Shields Gurley, Walton win, Henry May, Henry Kidgier, Ralph eitcton and William Ward.

America is always foremost in advancing great ques- tions for the world’s guidance, not alone in the tactics of war, but what is better still, in the art of peace and in the higher de- nts of a civilization that brings rer to each other and causes them to recognize more and more the fatherhood ef God and the brotherhood of man. Pres- ident Patten of Princeton College recently made an able address strongly advocating its principles, while In New York city a permanent organization has been formed by such men as Mr. William E. Dodge, Carl Schurz, Dr. Hamilton and others for le purpose of promoting in every pgitimate way the doctrine of universal arbitration. The trend of religious thought cn this subject is gathered from the action arious religious bodies now in ses- sion. The Methodist conference in session at Clevéland, Ohio, has just adopted a series of resolutions not only commending the move- ment as the acme of true statesmanship, but strongly indorsing and advocating the rrinciple as a Christian duty and one in which this country should deeply concern itself. The subject of the lecture is, there- fore, a timely one, and it ought to be heard by every one. Gen. Howard is a pleasing speaker on any subject, and on this one, in which he has manifested such deep interest, he will unquestionably be at his best. Jus- tice John M. Harlan will preside. Mrs. McCann on Palmistry.—At Stewart Castle Welnesday afternoon Mrs. Lucy Underwood McCann of California will give a lecture on “Palmistry,” in which subject she has long been interested. She is a pu- pil of the Russian master, Zeritzka, who perfected her knowledge of the lore, and she is about to write a book which will embody her wide experience. Mrs. McCann {s a most fascinating talker, and at this matine> will give palm readings from the audience. So much atteation has been given to this fad of late years that this chance of hearing such a distinguished adept in the art before her return to Cali- fornia should not be neglected. es One dollar will buy 100 ft. boards; we keep everything to build a house.

Suffered With fimsomnia and Found Relief intthe River—Was an Effictent Officer. Mounted Policeman Michael Breen of the first precinct, who has been sick for quite @ while, reached the conclusion that he would not get well, and yesterday morning he sought relief by ending his life in the river only a short distance from the bath- ing beach. Before jumping in the river. he addressed to Dr. J. R. Nevitt, one of the police surgeons, a note, which was found in his coat pockat, and tris note explained the unfortunate man’s reason for the rash act. It reads as follows: “Dear Sir—You have dene everything that possibly could be done for me, I have taken so much medicine for this misery that nothing in the line of medicine, it seers, takes effect. Everything to get sleep and still don't get it. I see nothing to come but misery. I hope God will as- sist my poor family. I guess my body will be floating or at the bottom when you receive this. M. B. “To Dr. J. R. Nevitt, Indiana avenu Body Recovered. Policeman Samuel Browne was on duty at the bathing beach yesterday morning about 11:30 o'clock, when a man reported the finding of a hat and coat in the bushes on the shore of the basin, and when the policeman went and made the search he found the garments there as indicated. In the coat pocket was the note addressed to the doctor, and upon finding this the officer was certain that it had been lett by a suicide. But little did he think that the suicide was Policeman Breen, who had so frequently visited the neighborhood of the beach while on duty. The note was deliv- ered to Dr. Nevitt, who called at the beach in response to a message. He read the contents, but could not imagine for awhile any patient whom he trected whose initials were “M. B.” When he reached home, however, it dawned upon him that perhaps the note had been written by the policeman, and he at once went to the ofli- cer’s house, No. 1357 U street, and there he learned that the note was in'the offic handwriting and was told that he had left home in the morning to take a walk. Lieut. Amiss and Sergt. Shillirg went to the river front soon after the affair was reported and they were able to fully iden- tify the hat and coat, and when it was certain that the owner of the articles of wearing apparel was in the water the grap- pling irons were put in use and the search begun. This search was unsuccessful, and the officers of the police boat were called upon to lend a helping hand. This they did, and about 2 o'clock the body was re- covered only a short distance from where the coat and hat were found on the shore. An Effictent Officer. The fact that Policeman Breen had com- mitted suicide was not a great surprise to many of nis near friends, who knew how despondent he had become because of his sickness. He had frequently discussed his illness, and had said he felt that he would take his life. Only day-before -yest« y he in the Police Court to see one of the Judges, and he appeared then as a man whese mind had become affected, and per- sons who knew him well commented uyon his appearance. In his death the police department loses an efficient and faithful polleeman. Ie had been on the force since 1874, and had been mounted for a large pa is time, do- ing duty about the Center Market. During his term of service on the force he made many arrests of tmportane ured for the neighboring state: as Ww for his own city, a great many horse thieves. Deceased was fifty years old, end had lived on U_ street for many |y He leaves a wife and several grown children, one of his daughters being a public school teacher. Several months ago he sprained or broke his leg, and since then he had not done much duty. Since his recovery from that injury he had suffered from a severe case of insomnia, and was also dyspeptic. He had taken a great amount of medicine, and, as stated in his note, it seemed no longer tobe effective, and so he concluded that death was preferable to suffering. His body was removed ‘from the river to Harvey's undertaking establishment and prepared for burial, and was after- ward taken to his late home, from where his funeral will take place. There will be an escort of twenty-four policemen detall- ed to attend the funeral, and tt is possible that many of the mounted men with whom he had so frequently ridden in processions will be among those detailed for this sad duty. ——— ou...
