A solemn mass of requiem followed at the Church of the Im- maculate Conception, corner of Sth and N streets, with which the d ed lady has been identified since its ¢ foundation.

Rev. Dr. Stafford was also in the sanc- tuary. The pallbearers were Messrs. O’Don- nell, Hatloran, Forsythe, Clark, Haney and Harvey. The casket was piled high with beautiful floral tokens.

Judge Kimball has announced his inten- tion of finding out whether or not the giv- ing of bonds in vagrancy cases amounts to anything. Almost every time a “vag” is put under bonds an effort is made to find some one to go surety. When the effort is successfu! it’s dollars to cents that the in- dividual will immediately return to his or her former mode of life and nothing more is ever heard of the bonds. This is esve- cially true in the czses of women who are taken cut of the “Division.” With the as- sistance of a lawyer and a small amount of cash it is always possible to secure a bondsman. In the Police Court this morning there were two young colored girls who were ar- rested in a disorderly house on D street last night. They were charged with va- grancy. The hearing developed the fact that both girls had been arrested be- fore and had been released from the work house on giving bonds. They are known under the rames of Stella Williams and Susie Reynolds, and as soon as they were released they went right back into the “Division.” Judge Kimball again placed them under bonds of $200, or three months in the work house. In additton he directed that their bondsmen in the other case be notified to show cause why the bonds should not be forfeited. “It's my intention,” said the judge, “to make this bond business mean something. It has come to be a good deal of a farce, but I am going to change it if 1 can.” PEI SI Pastor Ennis’ Talk. “On the Queen’s Threshold” was the sub- ject of an entertaining lecture delivered at the Western Presbyterian Church last night by the pastor, Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, under the auspices of the local chapter of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip. Mr. Ennis traveled from the At- lantic to the Pacific, through the Canadian Rockies, this past summer, and on the way secured many fine views and also brought back a store of pleasant reminis- cences of his journey, which he related to an audience which filled the church. Mr. Ennis has been requested to repeat the lec- ture for the benefit of those who were un- able to gain admittance. —— Caused by Hot Ashes. About 9 o'clock this morning fire was dis- covered in the wood shed in the rear of 2015 Vermont avenue. A still alarm was sent in, and Forerman Wagner and his com- pany of firemen quickly extinguished the flames. The premises are owned and occu- Pied by Rev. Robt. Johnson, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, on R stre between 12th and 13th. The fire was t result of hot ashes deposited in a wooden box. REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION. Reappearance of People Anxious to Invest. One of the indications of the favorable change in business conditions as the re- sult of the election of Mr. McKinley manifested yesterday afternoon, so thinks Mr. Ratcliffe, the auctioneer, in the char- acter of the crowd which was brought to- gether by the announcement of the sale of ten twawtery brick houses at 2d and E streets southeast. Mr. Ratcliffe states that the occasion ‘was noteworthy as marking the reappearance in the market, after a long absence, of people who were anxious to invest money. There was a good a tendance at thc. sgle, and the bidding was spirited. THe result of the sale, which was made by Ratcliffe, Sutton & Go., auctio' eers, wes as follows: The house 155 street, was bought by Herbert M. Locke for $3,700; 503 2d street, to W. D.
