Vice President Stevenson addressed the graduates of the Maryland University Law School at the annual commencement of the school, which was held last night at Bal- timore. The Vice President went over from Wash- ington on the private car of Receiver Cowen of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The committee which escorted him com- prised Mr. Thomas F. Baer, Mr. William T. Brantley and Mr. George W. Williams, president of the graduating class. Mr. Stevenson discussed at some length the relation of the lawyer to poljtics, and announced his dissent from the teaching that the lawyer must hold himself aloof from public affatrs. Such teaching could be justified only upon the supposition that money getting Is the highest alm of those who enter this noble profession. If it be true that the lawyer has higher aims then upon his shoulders must necessarily rest no small part of the responsibilities which attach to citizenship in a free government. He declared that the doctrine that the fol- lowers of the law must avoid participation in public affairs was pernicious and de- serving of severe condemaation, and traced to this teaching the fact that politics in our large cities had reached so low an ebb. If ue that politics has become with a large a mere business, has not, he asked, the time come when men of greater oppor- tunities and higher aims should exert a more potent influence in public affairs? The Vice President sketched briefly the obstacles overcome by this country, and prophesied that the future would present problems equally as difficult—conditions equally fraught with peril to our national safety. These dangers would not come from foreign foe or arise along sectional lines, but would be due, in part, at least, to the increase of individual fortunes, which would tend to emphasize the distance that separates the wealth holders from the toll- ing millions. When that time comes our protection will depend upon the courts of law and upon the lawyers, and then, as in the past, the lawyer must and will’ stand for the existing order of things, for liberty regulated by law, and it will be his to con- serve, to strengthen, not to destroy, the foundations of our’ socal fabric. There could be no excuse elther by the one or the many to override lawful authority, and to the ballot alone must the people look for desired reforms. —_.__ The Children’s Country Home. Owing to the severe storm of the 28th the attendance at the annual pound party of the Children’s Country Home was very slight, but the donations were received just the same and the store room of the home presents a very comfortable appearance just at this period. A great number of those who contribute groceries and other necessaries for the support of the home leave no address, and those in charge of the Instltution wish to thank all such through The Star for their generous dona- tions. Those who may wish to contribute to the good cause may send groceries, or, in fact, anything that may be needful at the home, to Miss Kate Roy, 721 19th street, until June 8 On that date the home will be opened for the first installment of waifs who are waiting anxiously for the instita- tion to open. All visitors will be received and welecmed at the home after the 8th. es Death of Mrs. Vellam. Mrs. Frances Vellam died yesterday at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Gruelle, 1900 Sth street, in her ninetleth year.

Three children, all residents of this city, survive her, Mrs. Gruell, George Vellam and Edward Vellam. —_.__— Use Us as Your Bureau of Information We're at_your service, and Butter is our business.

Allen's Grand Opera House.—The summer season opened at Allen’s Grand Opera House last evening with a combination of vaudeville and dramatic elements, under the management of Mr. George Buckler. An audience that completely filled the au- ditortum was in attendance, and several of the specialties were received with grat favor. The vaudeville features were brought forward during the early part of the evening, and then Tom ‘Taylor's com- edy, “Still Waters Run Deep,” was put on by a competent cast, consisting of Edward N. Hoyt, George Buckler, Eleanore New- ton, Mrs. Clarendon and Bert A. Mar- baugh, in the principal roles, with J. H. Hazelton, Edwin Baker, William Hunt, john Hoffman, Hal Clarendon and Fred. Tyler to fill out the list. On account of the lateness of the hour when the play was brought on, the interest in it Was some- what diminished, but those who stayed felt repaid. In the vaudeville end of the performan the bright star was X Ray Bixley, who created no end of amu by his clever work on several mus struments In a novel tramp ict. Helman, the magician, opened the olio, and received applause for bringing an endless number of animals from within a simple-looking structure called a Noah's Ark. ‘ George Graham, who Is well known in local circles, scored a hit in his comic imper- sonations, and George Conley secured favor with his Irish songs. Dan’ Crimmins and Rosa Gore gave a good turn, and Corinne Parker, Spanish dancer, with others, finish- ed out the long program. The entertain- ment as put up last night ought to secure patronage for some time. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The eapacity of Kernan’s Theater was fully tested las night by the friends of Manager Kernan, who came to testify by ence their regard for the popul - It was the anrual benefit of Mr. Kernan, and quite a neat sum was netted by the ement val in- performance. Incidentally, it was the in- auguration of the summer season, and a dcuble bill was presented. A burlesque on “The Chimes of Normandy” furnished the fun In the theater, while a vaudeville bill of excellence was given in the summer gar- den, This latter arrangement was quite an Innovation, and promises to become popu- lar. The garden has been entirely over- hauled, and, with the flowering plants and clinging vines, is very attractive on a warm night. The feature of the evening the presentation of a handsome jeweled watch charm of the Order of Elks to Manager Kernan. The presentation was made by a committee from the Baltimore lodge. Grand Exalted Ruler Peter Campbell interrupted the performance long enough to deliver the present, which he accompanied with an appropriate speech, extolling the many vir- tues of the popular manager. Mr. Kernan replied feelingly, and the andience did the rest. Lafayette Square Opera House.—The ben- efit which will be given the employes of the Lafayette Square Opera House at that theater tomorrow evening promises to be a very Interesting and well-attended per- formance. The list of those who have vol- unteered thelr efforts embraces some of the very best musicians, elocutiontsts and ac- tors and actresses that the city can afford, and the program which will be rendered will prove of great interest. Numbers will be given by Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Han- ford, Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, Misses Mary Helen Howe, Jennie Glennan, Anita Cluss, Gertrude Ravenburg, Messrs. Ed- ward J. Walsh, Nathan Weill, James A. Keliher, Guy V. Collins, Edward Droop, Sol Minster, Henry Xander, James H. No- lan, Master Archie Thomas, Harry Shack- elford, Bi che Riley and the Apollo Quar- tet and Madrid Mandolin Quartet. An aug- mented orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Victor H. Johnson, will assist in the benefit. A Washington Girl's Success.—Miss Cor- inne Parker, who gave the Spanish dance, which she performed the past season with Miss Olga Nethersole in ‘Carmen,” at Allen's last night, has not only evinced great ability as an actress, but as a play wright also. During Miss Nethersole’s tour Miss Parker wrote, at her request, a one- act play, which that actress intends put- ting on during her London season. The fact that Miss Nethersole has re-engaged Miss Parker for both her next American and European tours, shows her faith in the young lady’s ability. Miss Parker is but nineteen years of age. — Pythian Day. There is to be a Pythian day celebration at Marshall Hall tomorrow under the di- rection of the general committee of forty- five, and frierds of the Pythian order will lend their essistance on that day to the temple fund. This is to be the first of a serles of entertainments for the benefit of the fund, and as the entertainment com- mittee Is in charge of Sir Knight James Cathell, a pleasant day at Marshall Hall is guaran‘eed. ——— Funeral of Mrs. Cox.

Dr. Tyler Speaks of the Great Obristian Endeaver Convention. An Object Lesson im the Reception and Entertainment of Guests— Other Business. Christian Endeavorers enjoyed a treat last evening atthe meeting of the execu- tive committee of the District Union, in the form of an address by Rev. Dr. B. B. Tyler of New York, whom many of them have heard at international conventions and whose words are always listened to with intense interest and profit by the members of the organization, in which he is so interested. Prior to the executive commlitee meet- ing the committee of ‘#6 held its regular weekly conference, and decided from now on to hold nightly meetings at headquar- ters. Chairman Church of the hall com- mittee reported that the tent which was specially ordered for this convention was already completed, and an appropriation was ordered to complete the payment of $2,375, the total cost of the tent. Chairman Shand of the entertainment committee re- ported the vigorous canvassing of the city for homes for delegates, but said that there was need for still more accommodations. A leaflet of the excursion committee, con- taining brief descriptions of the different trips planned by this committee, the itin- erary and rates, is in the hands of the printer, so Chairman Johnso1 reported; and for the registration committee Chair- man Stowell recommended the purchase of 100,000 registration cards and suitable boxes and cases from the library bureau of New York. At the regular monthly meeting of the executive committee of the local union, eall- ed to order immediately upon the adjourn- ment of the prior meeting, sixty-four so- cleties responded to the roll-call, and the attendance was so large that a large class room opening off the vestry room was utilized, and even then many persons wer forced to stand. The routine business of the evening was followed by the reports of the lookout and missionary committees and the treasurer. The reports of the committees showed much encouraging progress along the line: of the work engaged in. The treasurer re ported a balance-of $72.84 in the treasury An Object Lesson. Mr. W. H. H. Smith presented the report of the committee of "0, reviewing the work which has been accomplished during the past month. The committee has arraz for a meeting on June 17, to be held at Calvary Baptist Church, which will be in the nature of an object lesson to the con vention committees. The reception, ent tainment and registration committees wil be especially Interested in this me which will be in charge of the churen sec tion of the reception committee, and the convention committees of Calvary Baptis Church will be utilized to present to the Endeavorers of the District, as far as pos- sible, the opening day of the convention in miniature. Persons entering the room will be treated as arrivals in the city, and will be taken in charge by the reception com- mittee, escorted to the registration booth, where they will properly register; will then be taken to the entertainment table, whe they will be assigned quarters in the city, and then they are supposed ta be escorted by the reception committee to the home: with which they have been provided. It 1s expected that the meeting will be very In- structive, especially to the mambers of he three committees named, and will much facilitate the work at the time of the con- vention. The secretary announced that the annual meeting of the union for the election of of- ficers would be held June 19 at the Gu Temple Memorial Presbyterian Churc € eating Enthusinsm, Mr. Shand then introdaced to those pres- ent Rev. B. B. Tyler, pastor of the Church of Disciples, New York city. Dr. Tyler was down for an address on the subject of “Enthustasm in Service.”” Dr. Tyler said in part: ‘There seems to me that there must have been some mistake in assigning me thi ject to speak upon in Washington city tonight. I have seen more enthusiasm since T arrived in Wash- ington Saturday afternoon in Christian deavor work than I have seen for I don't know how lo “There is one beautiful thing about Chris- tlan Endeavor which has impressed me. All roads in Christian Endeavor lead to the pledge, as I have found that all streets in Washington lead to the Capitol.” Dr. Tyler then said that he had noticed that Washington was very much alive on the subject of Christian Endeavor. He told of how even the street car conductors talk- ed upon the subject, and seemed to be well posted upon the matter of attendance and a great many other of the details of the con- vention. “I was impr ald Dr. Ty- ler, “with the fact that Christian’ Endeavor enthusiaasm is going on in your city, and you cannot stop !t."" Dr. Tyler then spoke upon how to create, to increase, to p petuate and to transmit holy enthusiasm. The secret, he belleved, was that all en- thusiasm In Christian Endeavor work must be generated by a careful study of the pledge. He appealed very strongly to those present to strive more earnestly to live up faithfully to the requlrements of the pledge.+ He said that the way to cenerate enthusi- asm, to intensify it, and to pass it on to others was to carefully study the Christian Endeavor pledge and arrive at a comp understanding of {ts meaning and require rents. “When enthusiasm Is generated. sald Dr. Tyler, “the carrying out of the requirements of the pledge will be an easy matte! "The speaker closed with an earnest ap- peal for more thought and purpose tn Bible reading. After a season of silent prayer, the meeting closed with “Blest Be the Tie That Binds,” and the benediction. sco Norwood's Commencement. The commencement occurred yesterday at Norwood Institute, of two graduat- ing. Music for the occasion was furnished by Prof. Fabian on the plano, and the vocal numbers by Mrs. Cuthbert. Dr. Hamlin offered prayer, and Assistant Secretary Dabney of the Agricultural Department de- livered the address to the graduates, dwell- ing on the splendid opportunities young women now have to get an education, and on the exceptional ad zea afforded at Norwood Institute. Dr. Radcliffe also ad- dressed the class, wishiny: them success in life, and impressing on them the pleasure of meeting the requirements of duty. The gradvates were Miss Maud Gorham and Miss Margaret Cabell. The former read an essay on the Mayflower and the Pilgrim fathers, and the latter on Virginia. Jus- tice Field presented the diplomas. Mrs. Cabell distributed certificates of scholar: to the undergraduates, and Dr. John H. Mott pronounced the benediction. ae Sn ge Too Few:Present. Several colored citizens who want Con- gress to establish a home for aged and !n- firm colored People in the District, and also the passage of a bill to reimburse the de- positors in the Freedman’s Bank, met last night at Shiloh Baptist Church. It was Intended to appoint a committee to push these matters, but so: few were preser.t it was given up.

The last meeting of the present season of the Columbia Historical Society was held last evening at the residence of the pres- ident, Dr. J. M. Toner, 1445 Massachusetts avenue. Mr. John A. Kasson presided in the absence of President Toner, who is one of the commissioners of the Tennessee ex- pesition and is attending the exercises at Nashville. The paper of the evening was read by Mr. B. H. Warner, whose‘ theme was the development of Washington, which was treated in the characteristic style of the speaker, who did not confine himself to the manuscript, but indulged in little tm- Promptu excursions, which served to bring cut more clearly his point and also added materially to the interest of his paper. His subject was divided into two parts: Wash- ington before the war, and after the war. He said that with the history of the city two names were joined, that of the first President of the country and Alexander R. Shepherd. Both were identified with the opening years of the two periods. His trib- ute to the work accomplished by Governor Shepherd was a warm and hearty one. The paper was discussed by Judge Hag- ner, Mr. Lewis J. Davis and Mr. M. L.Weller. Reference was made by Miss Elizabeth B. Johnston to the centennial anniversary cf Washington’s farewell address, which will occur on the 19th of next September, and it was decided to commit the subject of some recognition of the anniversary to the com- mittees on communication and promotion, as these Joint committees have een direct ed to suggest programs for the meetings of next year. A resolution of thanks to Mr. L. J. Davis and Mr. E. Francis Riggs for gifts of books and papers to the society was adopted. CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN, The Judge Differed With a Witne: - timate of Himself. George Bradshaw, a colored man from Boston, stood before Judge Kimball this morning and told the court of how he was entertained In a house in Louse alley by Sophia Braxton. He told of how he had violated the munds law, and com- DPlained that while in the house hig over- coat was stolen, Sophia made a denial of the charge agetnst her, and said that the man had been there and paid her for a ight’s lodg- ing. “Upon the honor of a Christian gen- tleman,” said Bradshaw, “I've toid the truth.” “I want nothing to do with any Christian genUeman of your stripe,” said the court. Lottie Barker gave evidence favorable to the defendant, claiming that Sophia tthe night with her. “What do you do for a Mving?” Judge Kimball asked vhia, “I calls it 7th s' pronounces it inctly down ‘ood, for thirty James and the court sent days in default of be Williams and Richard Fletcher, the procession on a charg Violating the health ordinanc anc vyer Moss, their attorney, said, “I guess guilty." ey dug a hole near the gc nUng office and filled it wit complaint of Heaith Ins: colored, were fn of ernment filth," was ctor Shep- pri the hi Lain’t guilty said one of the prisone “but m: friend is.” .

QUEER SENTENCE, This Man Got Off Very Lightly, It Wo See A case which created much interest and discussion about the Police Court yesterday was one involving a young white woman of undoubted respectability and a colored man about twenty years of age. It seems, according to the story told before Judge Kimball, that Friday last William Wi gins, the colored man, met the young wo- man, Ella Waters, on Brightwood avenue and suggested that she accompany him into the woods nearby, following it with a most indecent and revolting proposition. She made complaint and arrest followed. Wiggins plead guilty, and, to the surprise of many, escaped with a fine of only $20. Later the amount was reduced to $15, which was paid. ———— Without Lamps. Policeman Dodge complained in the Police Court today that John Horn and John Fletcher were riding their bicycles last night without the necessary lighted lamps. They forfeited $2 each. Henry Johnson, arrested on a similar charge by Policeman Owens, forfeited $5 collateral. Se Spruce Latha, $2.25 Per 1,000. Frank Libbey & Co., 6th st.& New York av. —Advertisement.
