Vernon Yesterday. Mr. Meacham’s Oration—The History of thé Idea Read by Chair- man Smith. ——— Several thousand Endeavorers made the pilgrimage to Mount Vernon yesterday and enjoyed a most delightful trip down the Po- tomac to the tomb of Gen. Washington. The principal feature of the day was the planting of a “peace oak” to commemorate the great convention, and as a pledge uf the devotion of the soctety to peaceful methods. Dr. Clark and the other officers of the United Society went down on the 3 o'clock boat, and, after a visit to the tomb, the party made its way to a spot about a hun- dred yards north, which had been selected as the site for the tree, which, it is hoped, will grow and spread so as to shelter thous- ands of Endeavorers in the years to come. The exercises were brief and Informal. Chairman W. H. H. Smith of the committee of '% introduced President Clark to make the introductory address. The doctor spoke in his usual happy vein, and then Secretary Baer offered prayer. Mr. L. E. Meacham, a young Endeavorer from Chicago, who was the originator of the idea of planting such a tree, then delivered the principal oration. He sald: Mr. Meacham's Oration. “We stand today upon a hallowed spot. We are gathered where, in the years agone, have countless thousands stood, and where, in the centuries to come, will other thcus- ands stand. We are met before the most honored grave that fs known to the nations of earth—it ts the sepulcher of him who brought the dawn of liberty. “In every land beneath the sun some patriot has lived, whose living was a bless- ing to the world: some hero 1s extolied, some name fs held in loving memory. But when, from the record of nations, we read the roll of those who thus have served, lo! first is written, ‘Washington.’ “And at his tomb shail the peace oak grow in the name of Christ. High may it tower its mighty boughs and wide its branches spread, and firmly may its roots become em- planted in the soil. May It be io men a sym- bol of the mighty church of Gol, and as such may it stand until shall come sn uni- versal peace; until shall come a reign of love in all the ends of earth. And as ihe years of time shall pass and seasons come and go, may spring remind men ever of their op- portunity; and summer's radian-e lead them on to scatter deeds of love: and autu:nn's grandeur mean to each some act of duty done. And when the winter's and cover o'er the earth, may it ings shed upon a Christian world. “And may Columbia never again unsheath her sword in strife, nor Britain's flag ever float again above the field of blood. May noble France never march again ‘to conquer or to die,” and may German bayonets never more gleam with the battle’s Jin. But from the north lands and the south, wherever man shall dwell, may peace, sweet peace, rest with his to counsel, guide and ble: “And now may all men know that in thi year of our Lord one thousand eight hun- dred and ninety-six the United Society of Christian Endeavor, in the name of the Prince of Peace, have set this tree as a pledge of loyalty “God save the world. Am ixtory of the Movement. The following history of the peace oak was then read by Chairman Smith: “In the days of 1860, when war was brood- ing over the land, a peace commission met in Washington. The leading spirit was John J. Crittenden of Kentucky, a member of the House of Representatives, who intro- duced into Congress that heroic effort which, known as the peace resolutions, was famed throughout the world. This overture to avert the conflict was, however, unsuccess- ful. “In the year 1862, when, returning from a sojourn in his native state, Mr. Crittenden brought some acorns, at the suggestion cf Mr. W. R. Smith, who was then, as now, perintendent of the National Botanical Gerdens, and with his own hands he planted near the gate where the gardens adjoin the Capitol grounds the tree which towers to- with such stateiy majesty. He set it there to be known as the ‘peace oak,’ as a sign that our nation, which then was rife tr civil war, should never again take arms. From an acorn produced by that tree wi grown the one we plant today.” The crowd sang “America,” Sir. Foster leading, accompanied on the cornet by’ Dr. F. A. Swartwout. n adjournment was then taken to the mansion, where the remainder of the pro- gram was carried out. There was prayer by Mr. William Shaw, treasurer of the United Society: appropriate hymns were sung, and Dr. James L. Hill of Salem, Mass., delivered an address. >. The Field Band‘s Richmond Trip. Yo the Editor of The Evening Star: The letter of Mr. J. C. Churchill, pub- lished in your issue of Saturday last, anent the participation of the Mount Pleasant Field Band in the Jeff Davis monument ceremonies at Richmond a few days ago forcibly attests the truth of the old adage, “Touch a man’s pocket and you touch heart.” His letter, though devoid of ar- gument, is, presumably, an attempted de- fense of his action in taking his band to ‘chmond on the occasion referred to, though it consists chiefly of slurs upon hurch is in a growing neish- | Stone Post of the G. A. R., because, as he in the northwestern part of New- | alleges, it is composed principally of three mont men, whom, he states, never saw a rebel flag and were never south of Mason and Dixon's line. It is true that the mem- bership of Stone Pcst comprises a number of three months’ volunteers of the District ef Columbia, but it comprises also men who served one, two and three years; they saw many rebel flags; they were far in the rebel lines and a long way below Mason and Dixon's line; some in rebel prisons, and all follow the motto, “One country and one flag.” Such being the fact, they can afford to care but little for the estimation placed upon their services by Mr. Churchill. The resolutions adopted by Stone Post were not, as Mr. Churchill implies, an at- tack upon the boys composing the Mount Pleasant Field Band, but were designed to express disapprobation of its manager, who, as a “matter of business,” took the boys from the capital city of the nation to Participate in ceremonies having for their purpose the perpetuation of the memory of the ident of the so-called southern con- So far as the boys themselve: ned, it was not a “business” transaction, for It is a well-known fact that never since the organization of the band have the boys ever received a penny for their services, although they have had many profitable engagements. But Mr. Churchill says that every boy in the band carried a small flag when they left Wash- ington, and he mentions this in extenua- tion, apparently, of their partictpation in the Richmond affair. If this fact is to him a justification of his course, @ is perhaps sufficient so far 28 he himself is concerned, but to truly loyal men, especially Grand Army men, it would seem that putting on the stars and stripes to dedicate a monu- ment to Jeff Davis is like “putting on the livery of heaven to serve the devil in.” It is hoped for the sake of the boys that they themselves may conclude to take a hand in future “business” transactions, ex- ercising at all times a spirit of loyalty and patriotism, and that in future business matters they may guard their indtvidual interests. GEORGE W. GLADMON, Com. Chas. P. Stone Post, No. 11, G. A. R. a Suing for Salaries. To recover salary alleged to be due them Mr. and Mrs. John Finley, Ernest Elton and William Boag have sued James L. Ker- nan here, as proprietor of the Auditorium Theater, Baltimore, Md., for $120, $160, 3100 and $100, respectively, before Justice of the Peace O'Neal. Mr. Kernan being a non- resident of the District ottachments were issued last evening. The plaintiffs claim that Mr. Kernan agreed to employ them in a stock company at his Baltimore thea- ter, commencing the Ist of last month, guaranteeing them, they say, a month's salary each, but that Mr. Kernan gave up the project. It is understood that Mr. Kernan denies his alleged Hability, claiming that Mr. Frederic Bond was to organize the pro- posed company, but that the plan failed because of his inability to secure the neces- sary number of artists.

The coroner’s jury yesterday afternoon decided that Estelle Holden, the colored woman whose mysterious death ten days ago.had been investigated, had been pol- soned, but whether her death was the re- sult of suicide or homicide the jury could not fing.. A number of witnesses were ex- amined, among them Prof. Hird of the health department, who told of the finding of strycfinine in the stomach of the deceas- ed. A colored woman inmate of the dead woman's house in the “Division” had been ill after taking a seldlits powder, and Prof. Hird examined some of the powder, but failed to find strychnine. From the “Di- vision” the police brcught several witnesses to tell of the ill-feeling existing between the people in the house of the deceased, but there was no evidence tending to show that any of them had threatened or even wanted to get Estelle out of the way. So far as her husband, Charles Holden, was concerned, all the witnesses agreed that he was on affectionate terms with his wife, and not one of them knew of their ever having had a quarrel. Dr. Sterling Ruffin, who attended the woman before she died, described her last illness, and said he was convinced at that time that the woman was suffering from strychnine poisoning. There being no further proof, the jury re- turned a verdict as stated, and the prison- ers, Charles Holden, Lizzie Clayton and Mamie Mann, were released from jail. These prisoners were not present at the irquest yesterday, for the reason that they eculd not be released from jail without an crder from the court, and the judges were cut of the city. ——.——_. BUILDING ‘BRADES COUNCIL. Interesting Meeting Held and Busi- ness Transacted. President William Silver presided last night at the regular weekly meeting of the Building Trades Council, which was held in Electrical Workers’ Hall, 508 11th street northwest. It being reported that non- union carpenters were employed at the purity ice plant at K Street Market, the matter was referred to a special union grievance committee, with instructions to have the management substitute union la- bor, If possible. Paintet Unien, 170, to whom was re- ferred several weeks ago the matter of the acceptance of the council agreement by a prominent employing painter, reported that the enfployer would consent to employ members of that union exclusively on work required by the Building Tra: tract, but refused to sign the contr employ members of the union ¢: upon other work. The council d lusively ted that if the employer cid not employ members of the council on all work he would ccnsidered as entitled to the coun ‘il contract work. “John Healey of Bricklayers’ Union, An- drew Murry of the Amalgamated Carpen- ters’ Association and A.

With the rise in temperature th Indian Head trips are proportionately pa- tronized, and it 1s more than likely that the boats will be comfortably filled on each trip. The boat leaves the Hall for the re- turn home at 9:30. The annual union excursion of the local organization of Catholic Knights of Amer- ica will take place at River View tomorrow The tickets will be good on the day boat as well as on the evening trip, and it i pted that the outing will be ful as ful as those given under the ans- ices of this organization in the past.

OF VARIOUS SORTS Eafly Morning Proteésion in the Police Court. Troubles Between Rivals and Neigh- bors Aired Befave the Judge— The Sentenaes Given. ; Judge Kimball's qurt convened this morning a little eariten than usual for the reason that the judge was anxious to catch an early train for the north, and quit work for slx weeks. No one in court complained against the judge because he had conclud- ed to quit work, but Policeman Sullivan had such a complaint to make against Jo- seph North, a Georgetown colored man. “His father says it’s too hot for him to work in summer,” said the policeman, “and too cold in the winter.” But this was not the only complaint against him. He had been found asleep in the yard at the house of Assistant District At- torney Taggart, and his only excuse was that he was intoxicated. “And,” said the officer, ‘he is continually under the influence of liquor. “I’m not always under the influence of liquor,” said Joseph. “But you do get drunk?” the court in- quired. sir. “How frequently?” “About once a week.” “Now,” sald the court, “there are many people who would lke to quit work because of the hot weather.” “But,” interrupted the young man, “I will work when I can get it.” “I think a vacation of ten days will do you good,” sald the court, and Joseph went down. Willlam Hansbury and William Davis, colored boys, were in the tolls for disorder- ly conduct. They were standing beside the car track near 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue last night, and as the, cable cars would come along they would reach :n and lft ladies’ skirts, “I saw them doing this severat ‘imes,” said Precinct Detective Hartigan, “and izens were complaining against them.” ‘“Twan't us," said one of the boys, “but we saw the boys who did it.” “Who were they?” “I don’t know.’ “This sort of conduct will not be tolerated for @ moment,” the court said. “You ure fined $25 each. Other Cases. Down on 11th street southwest, not many squares from Henry Brown and Mary Harmon are rival storekeepers. They live In adjoining houses, but the walls between the residences are not thick enough. Sunday night the business rivals engaged in a war of words y Mrs. Harmon complained aga:nst Mr. Brown for alleged disorder! t. “He ed and wasn't re- pectable,” she told the court, “and I want him to prove it.” “T gu ‘ou don’t want him to prove it,” said the judge. “And,” ‘the woman added, ‘Our colored brethren,” sald the judge, vould not be disgruntled if toid they were white, but called ‘nigcer,’ they would 1e- sent it, and very proper! “I didn't call her ‘igi said the de- end: “but I did say she would not mulatto, and I say so y al witnesses were called, and Judge Kimball concluded that one side was bad as the other, and he thought the whole trouble was the result of business com- ations. Mr. Brown's sonal bonds were taken, and a repetition of the quar the judge said, would result in all hands being fined. Joseph 1 e also ca m mmcn, a young man, was com- plained azamst by Poliecman Copeland for not having a light on his bicycle last mght. He had a lamp and two Chinese lanterns, but he had been in the parade and his oil had given out. Still, he was with a party of young men who had Jights, and while the policeman would not aecept this as an ex- cuse on the evening of a celebration, the court did, and the young man was uot fined. Annie Batler, colored, twelve years old, Was sent to the work house for breaking a store window with a stone he went in the store and asked t man for a cent to ly chewing gum,” said her companion, “and because the man wo.ldn’t give it to her she tried to hit him with a stick, and then threw stones and broke the windo’ The girl lives in South Washington, but was attracted to 14th street near the White Lot by the flying horses.

She has now been unable to take an engagement for over a year. All last winter she spent in the south, where it was expected the cli- mate would favor her disease, and when she returned in April It was hoped that she would continue to improve. Such has not been the case, however, and she nas secmed to grow weaker as the hot weather came. Miss Lewis, during her dramatic career, was one of the most successful of those who have gone from Washington upon the professional stage. With a keen sense of the humorous, an excellent dancer and a fair singer, with an expressive face and a petite but graceful figure, she was one of the best soubrettes that traveled. She had a touch of pathos in her nav too, and it was this combination of vivacity and sentiment that secured her engagement at the Bowdoin Square Theater in Boston as leading lady of the compiny with which Mr. Calder produced so successfully a se- ries of English melodramas. It was at this theater that Miss Lewis contracted the cold that settled upon her lungs and has caused her such suffering. The Frederic Bond Stock Company and Mr. Riddle, the manager, have tendered Miss Lewis a benefit, which will take place at the New National Theater a week from Monday night. This will give the friends of Miss Lewis an opporiunity to testify their regard for her in a substantial man- ner, and it is expecte@-that the house will be filled.

McCauley has filed a bill in equity against Henry C. McCauley, Wm. H. Speiser, Peter P. Little and J. Marion Fowler, praying for an accounting and dis- solution of partnership in the grocery busi- ness, conducted at 209 Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Mrs. McCauley is the widow of Theo- dore F. McCauley, who died April 8 1805, Henry C. McCauley being appointed” executor of his estate. She charges that the said executor has filed no inventory of the personal estate, or any statement of bills received or other obligations or credits belonging to the estate, to her injury,-. he declares. Her husband, she states, to make it appear that he had sold his business, en- tered into an agreement with Speiser and Little, by which they were admitted into said business, Speiser to be held out as the sole owner, but the profits to be equally di- vided amcng the three. Her husband made @ bill of sale and lease, Speiser giving a promissory note for $8,979.52, the note be- ing placed in the hands of Henry C. Mc- Cauley, together with the bill of sale and lease, with a letter of secret instructions. After her husband’s death, she charges that Henry C. McCauley wrongfully and unlawfully delivered the bill of sale, receipt and lease to Speiser, but, she says, she does not know what he has done with the note. She claims that the business has been profitable, but she alleges that Henry C. McCauley pretends that her husband had no interest in it, and refuses to claim the estate’s share of it. Being desirous of having the executor re- moved, Mrs. McCauley prays that he be required to fully answer many interroga- tories set out by her. She also prays that the court decree her husband to have been @ partner in the business, and that a re- ceiver be appointed to close it up, and dis- tribute the proceeds. Mrs. McCauley is represented by Attorneys A. A. and T. W. Birney. oe ixed the Bond. Judge Hagner today made an order ad- mitting to probate the will of the late Har- riet C.
