The Jewish feast of Light and Dedication ciosed last evening with a Sabbath school celebration, during which each child lighted a@ taper of the many arranged around the altar. The feast was in commemoration of the Syrian, and was also observed in much the same manner in the home circles. Messrs. Harry B. Schultz and Wm. A. 3ahr of this city were invested with the habit of the Xaverian Brothers last Thurs- day at the near Baltimore. They entered the novitiate last August. Thurscay was the feast of St. Francis Xavier, the patron saint of the order. A New England dinuer was given last Wednesday in the lecture room of the Church of the Refermation. It was gotten up by the ladies of the Aid Society. As a result of tne parochial mission held several weeks ago at St. Paul's P. E.

How It May Be Amended to Meet the Views of the Oppo- sition. The friends of the Powers bill providing a scheme for the funding of the Pacific railroad debt expect to have that measure up for consideration in the next of Congress. Representative Powers of, Vermont was asked by a Star reporter today what he thought would be the attitude of Congress toward his bill at this session. “I think it will be passed,” replied Mr. Powers. “I expect it to be passed because s can see no other solution of the ques- jon. “The opposition to the funding bill is op- position to certain railroad men, which, it does not seem to me, has anything to do with this matter. The only duty of Con- gress, and the desire of the American pco- ple, is to get as much out cf a bad cebt @s possible, and I think that wi!l be ac- complished by the passage of the funding bill reported in the last session. I believe that the bill would have passed then had it been catled up, and 1 believe that it will be passed this winter. My belief is simp! basec on the fact that I can see no real opposition to the measure as reported. “What concessions would the commiitee be inclined to make to those who onpose the funding bill in order to secure addi- Uonal votes for it?” Mr. Powers was asked. “I don’t know as to that,” he replied. session “Anything of that sort would naturally come through amendments.’ Represe ive Wright's View: Representative Wright of Massachusetts is also a member of the committee on P% cific railroads. In speaking to a Star rm porter today on this subject Mr. Wright saic: “I hope we will be able to pass the Pacific funding bill. I think there will be no difficulty in getting it through the House, but I am somewhat doubtful 2bout the Senate. I think it is quite possible to pass it through the Senaie, even if there should be some changes, that need not be material.” “What changes could be made to strengthen the vote among members and Senators who have opposed the bill?” the reporter asked. “I suppore the same objections will be made this winter that were offered in the last session of Congress. Some members think payments should be made larger, the interest higher and payments not to extend over so long a time as the present bill pro- vides for. 1 think such changes would re- move the objectic to the bill of a num- ber of Representatives and Senators. There is a feeling in the Senate in opposition to any such measure as the funding bill on general principles, and I do not know what would satisfy that class of the op- posing €lement there. “I think the friends of the bill will do everyihing in their power to bring it up during the coming session. If some funding bill is not passed 1 nothing for the government to do except to take and run the rafircads, and I am opposed to govern- ment ownership of railroads. Arguments are made that some of the men connected with this railroad have made a great deal of money out of the government, but I can- not see how that has any weight in a censideration of the present conditions. We are simply dealing with a bankrupt con- cern, The only question we have to ask is how we can get the most money out of it in satisfaction of the debt it owes the government. It is not a questien of how many dollars certain men have made cut of it in the past. If a man has a po bt his only concern is to make as good a bar- gain as possible, and I believe the gov- ernment will realize more by passing the tunding bill than it would if it undertake to manage the road, GRANTS GEN, NARROW ESCAPE.

At the kate were two federal officers mounted on fine horses, one a black, the other a gray. To other officers, one with an overcoat on, the other with his overcoat on his erm, came out of the hospital and ran toward a cornfield, jumping the fence and disap- pearing. When they first appeared a num- ber of my men cocked the'r guns and nde ready to fire. Gen. Cheatham at once directed sae to order the'r guns to a shoulder and not to fire on stragglers, as his orders were to attack the troops seek- ing the transpcrts. This order was given and no firing was done on the officers. On the day after the battle Gen. Cheatham met, under a flag of truce, Col. Hatch, Gen. Grant's quartermaster. Col. Hatch in his converraticn with Gen. Cheatham told him that the two officers who ran out of the hospital were Gen. Grant and himself, and beth were surprised that they were not fired cn. ‘The battle of Belmont was the initial fight in the great campaign in the Mississippi valley. It was Gen.

To the Editor of The Evening Sta In reply to your editorial of the 34 in- stant headed “Excusable Interference,” I have to say that the majority of the milk shippers of Marvland would not wish to see a pint of impure milk go into the Dis- trict, if there was any possible way for them te prevent it, and I am sure they would willingly submit to inspection of their stables by the proper Ma i au- thorities and by veterinariars who kno} a sick cow wher. they see her, or a pile manure in a barn yard trom a pil cornstalks and trash. You admit that the District officials have no legal right to ecire out here and direct what shall be done about the dairy 1 that their sugges' ried through by Maryland authorities. arms. ES © erating Then, and yeu point an only ve < with why in officials peal to our state board of health before trying to take the farmers by the throat and compel them to comply with ther foo!- ish rules and regulations, applicable to the District only. That is not «xcusable, nor will our farmers ever submit to such in- terference. It seems to me the District officials tried to put the cart before the horse, ard as usual the horse failed to work that way. That the peopie of Wash- ington have @ vital interest in the purity of what they consume as fuod I do not doubt, and so have the farmers, who are, as a whole, just as alive to that fact and to the sanitary condition of their houses and stables as those who live in the cities. Let the District officials regulate other producers of articles of food through which diseascs can be carried into Wash- ington, and not try to blame everything on the farmers, as they are apt to kick against such impartiatity. Tt is useless for me to pursue this ques- tion further, but I will say that if the Dis- trict officials would take hold of the mat- ter in the proper way, I am sure they will be met with hearty co-operation from the authorities of Maryland. the the ap- ARTHUR M. MACE. Randolph, Md., December 4, 1896. —— Damaging Evidence. Detectives Horne and Weedon have found additional evidence in the case of Bowen and Bateman, the alleged directory swin- dlers, and they believe that before coming here the men operated extensively in Pitts- burg. Lately the officers went to the Ra- leigh Hotel and found in the storeroom a large tin box belonging to Bowen. This box contained a quantity of blank checks, con- tracts and stencils, showing that the owner vas interested in some way in the directory business. This was found after his arrest erd after he had denied any connection with the business.
