WI Memorial Meeting Last Evening at All Souls’ Charch...* There was a large congregatfan in the chapel of All Souls’ Chureh last tight, on the occasion of the memorial meofing in honor of the late Dr. Caroline Bi-¥ The chapel was beautifully decopp’ evergreens and flowers. The. éérvices throughout consisted of tributes \xrdin old ciated with her in the moral péforms to which she gave a great part ofi hof life. Rev. Alexander Kent of the. Péple’s Church delivered the principal address of the evening. He spoke of her hero studying medicine fifty years agq,.¥' medical profession was closed to women. She was the first graduate in medfcime west of the Alleghenles. So strone*’wete ‘the, prejudices, she. had 10. overcome that the homeopathic physicians in her pidihpme at Utica would not counsel with her. or recog- nize her as a physician. Mer father had told her while she was studying medicine that he hoped she would not return to Utica, N. Y., where the family. lived, to practice her profession: She was the only woman among five hundred ‘medical stu- dents at college. She was eminently suc: cessful in her practice, both.in Utica and later in Washington. Mrs. L. E. Blount of the “Pro Re Nata Society" spoke of Dr. Winslow's connec- tion with that society, and with the Alpha, a journal she edited until her health failed. She also referred to the reforms Dr. Wins- low secured in the District courts of jus- tice, meking them more fit for women to attend. Mrs. M. D. Lincoln and Mrs. Kent also spoke, Mrs. Kent describing the pur- pose of the Winslow Moral Educational Society, which has been organized in the Wimodaughsis in memory of Dr. Winslow. Mrs. Ellen Powell Thompson spoke of Dr. Winslow's work in the Women’s Suffrage Association of the District, and Dr. E. M. 8. Marble of the Women’s National Press Association also spoke feelingly. Dr. G. D. N. Custis, representing the Homeopathic Medical Society of the District, paid a trib- ute to Dr. Winslow from a professional standpoint. ——<—— A Midnight Reverie. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Midnight had come and I dropped into a reverie. Our beautiful capital lay hidden in the darkness. It seemed as if I could hear the breathing of the sleeping city. Then my thoughts turned to the many thousand refined and cheery Christian homes of the people among whom I have lived so long and loved so much. Finally my thoughts reached out with deepening sympathy to the busy toilers of this grow- ing city. I thought of those thousands of weary and heavy-laden ones in mind and nerve and tissue, in our stores, and work shops, and private houses, and streets—the store girls and seamstresses, and mechanics and outdoor laborers—for whose rest and relief a loving and merciful Providence especially intended the quietude and repose of the Sabbath. I thought of them on the Saturday nights, when everything had to be finished up before the coming Sunday, dragging their weary bodies upstairs to their bed rooms, back-sore, limb-sore and ofttimes heart-sore, seeking at the midnight hour, perhaps, “Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep,” but doomed to be rudely awaked in the first gray streaks of the morning by the yelling of the Sunday news- boys. Have the worn-out, tolling masses of this city no right to the quietude and recuperation of the Sabbath that howling, shouting urchins who want to make a few extra pennies are bound to respect? For the rest and comfort of the weary toilers of this city I plead. I plead that they may be protected in the enjoyment of,.that Sab- bath which God has given them, ¢yen if in doing so it may require the newsboy to sell his papers as quietly as thé.dairyman disposes of his milk or the ice man of his ice. I honor and appreciate the. mission of the press, and I heartily desirerto see the newsboys have @ reasonable opportunity of making an honest living.

The Gathering Olans of Feather Aris- tocracy Arriving. ‘OVER. 2,000 ENTRIES WERE SENT IN Lively Competition in Several Lead- ing Classes. OPENING DAY TOMORROW This has been a busy day at the Center Market Hall, where the national poultry and pigeon show opens tomorrow. Barly this morning Spratt’s people began putting up the long rows of wire coops, and Super- intendent Gardner and a Iively group of fanciers, ir long linen dusters, began ar- ranging the various classes of exhibits. The way-up feathered gentry wegan to come with the earliest express delivery, and shipping coops were soon piled up in smwhall mountains, under which a continuous cock.crow sounded shrilly all day. The coops will be arranged as they were last year, in long tiers running north and south, the length of the hall. An effort will be made to have wider aisles, so that there may be a better light upon the fowls and more room for the spectators. The pigeons will be arranged on the south and west sides of the hall, and the novelties, such as pheasants, water fowl, freaks and wild birds, will be placed in’ conspicuous positions near the center of the hall. The judges selected for this year's exhibition are Philander Williams of Taunton, Mass.; ; Charles Me- New H. S. Ball of Massachuset Clave of Ohio, and P. H. Scudder of Jersey, in the poultry classes, and W. J. Stanton of New York city and Samuel E. Rabbitt of Washington, in the pigeon class- es. All these gentlemen are well-known fanciers. A Noted Judge. Philander Williams’ name has been asso- ciated with high-class poultry breeding for forty years. No name in all poultrydom is | more lastingly identified with the devclop- ment of the light Brahma than his. It is a high compliment to the Washington show that Mr. Williams consents to act as judge, and his presence here is an event which gives special importance to the exhibition. Messrs. Scudder and McClave are both old judges of poultry, and themselves famous breeders. Mr. Ball was a judge in the re- cent New York show. Mr. Stanton spends nearly all his time judging pigeons at the | various shows during the winter. Mr. Rab- to the fraternity of pigeon breeders as an excellent judge of birds, and has himself achieved many d'stinct triumphs in sharp competitions. His se- lection as a judge for the Washington show is an honor which will be enthusias- bitt is known tically received by his many friends. The superintendents of the show are: Mr. Arthur T. Gardner, for the poultry classes, and Mr. Joseph W. Bardroff, for ihe pigeon classes. Hearty Work Done.

Among the notable exhibits which may | be seen at the show are the following: W. M. Hughes, Newport, R. L, a breeder of international reputation, will show thirty Black Langshan bantams, an entirely new breed of fowls, now shown for the first time. This entry is valued by Mr. Hughes at $1,000. Mr. J.

Dr. Cas- tillo denied flatly that any such communt- cation was ever received from Gomez. The publication referrred to in Dr. Castil- lo’s dispatch purported to have been sent to the New York World from a Washing- ton correspondent, and begins as follows: “Gen. Maximo Gomez, commander-in- chief of the Cuban army, has sent through an intermediary to Senor Sagasta, liberal leader in Spain, the conditions on which the Cuban insurgents are ready to treat with Spain for peace. “Senor Sagasta, who would suc ca- nevas del Castillo if the present S. ministry falis, has already pledge bimself, in an authorized interview with ‘he World correspondent at Madrid, to undertake sweeping reforms in Cuba if he beco:es prime minister. “The World correspondent is now able to ‘2 | state, authoritatively and exclusively, Gen- eral Gomez's terms. They were communi- cated to the junta in a letter received on December 29. “General Gomez begins with a vehement declaration that the insurgents will con- tinue the fight as long as life lasts, and un- til the island is laid in ruins, unless their demand for practical home ruie is complied The prizes offered at the coming show are | With.

Charles Edwards, alias Byron Knowles, and William H. Belt, alias “Bill” Jones, colored, are under arrest for the alleged theft of a dozen bottles of whisky from in front of the store of Richards & Co., on Pennsylvania avenue, early ‘Thursday night. Detectives Horne and Weedon ar- rested them, and recovered nine bottles of the stolen whisky, before the owner was aware of the robbery. The prisoner Edwards is the man who was arrested and sent to jail for stealing stamps from the Treasury Department, where he was employed at the time. For the theft of the stamps he was sent to jail, and the detectives say he served ten years in the penitentiary for housebreak- ing. His companion, Belt, the officers say, has also served time in the penitentiary. When locked up the men admitted that they had taken the whisky from in front of the store mentioned, and said they opened the box in Seaton Park, just south of Missouri avenue. During the investiga- tion of this case the officers accused the prisoners of having stolen a lady’s coat from in front of the store of S. E. Young, on 7th street, and this they also admitted. One of them took the coat, and the two cf them took it to a house in the disreputable section of the city and sold it for $2. This house was visited by the officers, but the women found there denied that any such coat had been purchased. The cases will be heard in the Police Court this week, and in the meantime the officers will make an effort to recover Mr. Youngs’ coat. The detectives suspect that they were impli- cated in other thefts. ——.__ LEESBURG NOTES. What is Going on in a Near-By City. Correspondence of The Bvening Star. LEESBURG, .Va., January 10, 1897. Rev. Dr. A. W. Pitzer of Washington, D. C., will begin a series of religious meet- ings today in the Presbyterian Church in Leesburg, and will preach twice each day while the meetings continue. A banquet will be given to the confed- erate soldiers at the Leesburg Inn, Tues- day of next week, the anniversary of the birth of Gen. Robert E. Lee. The arrange- ments are in charge of committees, headed by Mrs. Elizabeth J. Osburn of the Chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy, Mr. W. D. Hempstone of Clinton Hatcher Camp, Confederate Volunteers, and Mr. F. J. Norris of the Sons of Confederate Vet- erans. Dr. Samuel McGill of Leesburg has been appointed surgeon for the Virginia Soap- stone Company,at Schuyler, Nelson county, Va. He has accepted, and will at once enter upon the discharge of his new duties. Mr. and Mrs. Lucien Tatum of Fruitland, near Leesburg, have gone to Richmond to spend the remainder of the winter. Miss Lalla B. Harrison of Leesburg is visiting friends in Harrisburg, Pa. Mr. John McChesney of Washington, who has been visiting his iter, Mrs. L. A, Brown, and other friends in Leesburg, has returned home. The January term of the Loudoun county court, Judge Tebbs presiding, began toda: It is understood: that the commonweaith’s attorney will bring several important cases to the attention of the grand jury, The services incident to the week of prayer, which closed Saturday _ evening last, which were held in all the churches of this town, were well attended. They were made interesting by numerous ad- dresses. x A call has been issued by a committee of the Lincoln Young Friends’ Association— Messrs. Yardley T. Brown, Thomas R. Smith, Phineas J. Nichols and the Misses Eliza Rawson and ith—to or conditions of treating with Spain,” Intentions of the Report. In conversation with a Star reporter this afternoon Mr. de Quesada said: “There is absolutely not one word of truth in the story. The reasons for its publication, however, are not hard to find, To make the statement that Gomez would agree to terms of peace has four evident purposes: To pave the way for the down fall of Canovas, for you notice that the letter frem Gomez is said to have been sent to the man who wou!d succeed Canovas to pave the way for the recall of Weyler: to stem the rising tide of interest In the United States in the Cuban cause, and, last, but not least, .o counteract the effect of the news of the landing of the latest ex- edition to Cuba. “If Weyler should be recalled, and charges not only of incapacity, biit also of dishonesty have been made against him, it would be possible to say that it was done in accordance with the terms of peace, and not because of his utter failure to put down the insurection. The Spanish are simply continuing their favorite method of fighting for delay. It is anything to put off the evil day. It is the oll story of ‘manana,’ put off till tomorrow. A Fake on the Face of It. “The story is a fake on the face of it. Does any sane man belleve ‘that “Gomez, whose son was so recently killed by the Spanish, would seek or agree to peace with his bitterest foe? Gomez is in favor now, as he always has been, of continuing the War to its bitter end, and the same New York paper had an article to that effect on January 1. Furthermore, ft is not in Gomez's power to make peace if he wanted. At the close of the last war he stepped aside and refused to have anything to do with the negotiations, on the ground that he was simply an officer in the army and that his duties ceased with the close of hostilities. In January, 1896, Gomez wrote to Gen. Campos a letter, in which he said: “We will not yield one single point until w have accomplished our purpose—tiberty. There is no* reason to believe that the death of his son has caused Gomez.to change his views in the matter. The con- ‘| stitution of the Cuban republic contains the following provision: “The treaty of peace with Spain, which must necessarily have for its basis the ab- solute independence of the Island of Cuba, must be ratified by the government council, and by an assembly of representatives, convened expressly for this purpose.” “This seems to me to dispose pretty ef- fectually of the statement that Gen. Gomez has laid down the terms upon which he will agree to peace.” " ————_~+-e mete DIED IN BALTIMORE. Rev. Dr. Alexa; r E. Gibson Passed to His Rest. Rev. Dr. Alexander E. Gibson, formerly pastor of Waugh Methodist Episcopal Chapel, Washington, and one of the best- known and eminent preachers of that de- nomination in this section of the coun- try, died at his residence in Baltimore yes- terday morning, after a brief iliness, in his seventy-second year. Dr. Gibson was an intimate friend and associate of the late Richard Cornelius, the Baltimore bank cashier who >ommitted suicide Monday last, ai Was complaining of illness when that event occurred. Al- most immediately upon being informed of that sad affair Dr. Gibson became worse, and nis sickness developed into acute pneu- monia, which carried him off in two or three days. Dr. Gibson’was born in Baltimore Sep- tember 2, 1825, and in his early life at- tended the public schools of that city. At the age of fifteen years he was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was educated as a physician, and although he soon after his graduacion from the University of Maryland School of Medicine secured a lucrative practice, he in 1849 decided to relinquish nis chosen profession and enter the miniscry. The same year he was admitted to the Bal- timore conference, and was assigned to duty at Shrewsbury, Pa. After traveling in sev- eral circuits, as was the custom of young Methodist preachers, he was sent to what is known as City Station, Baltimore, in Is52, as junior preacher. Later in the same year he was sent to Frederick, Md., and tn 1855 to Altoona, Pa. After serving several pastorates be was in 1859 assigned to Carlisle, Pa., and while there he took a collegiate course, and gained the degree of A. M. Since then he had served pastor of churches at Will- jamsport, Pa.; Madison Avenue, Eastern Avenue, Broadway, Fayette Street, Exeter Street, Grace, Strawbridge, Whatcoat, Har- lem Avenue and Fulton Avenue, Baltimore, and Waugh, Washington. He was active in Knight Templar and Royal Arcanum circles. Dr. Gibson came from distinguished an- cestry. The members of his family who survive him are his widow, one son, Rev. Frank M.
