To the Editor of The Evening Star: The resolution adopted by Congress last week asking for an estimate from the Sec- retary of the Navy the necessary amount of money to move the frigate Constitution frcm the Portsmouth navy" yard to this city and convert her into a naval museum and preserve her from further decay is in- dorsed by every patriotic American. The remarks of Congressman Fitzgerald of Boston, as published in The Star, were ex- cellent, and swakened memories of the remarkable carver of this old battle ship. No warship of the American, or, indeed, of any other nation, can show such a record of continued successes, of victories won, vessels captured, and with so little loss of life or Injury to the ship as this one. Fennimore Cooper says of her, “She never was dismasted, never got ashore, and scarcely ever suffered any of the usual accidents of the sea, though so often in battle, no very serious slaughter ever took place cn board.” As the sailors say, she was “lucky,” for seamen rate ships as “lucky” or “‘bad;” the old Ironsides was always and ever a “lucky ship.” She was always well commanded. Hull, Bain- bridge and Stewart are brilliant samples of her officers commanding. She was not only well officered, but well manned. One writer says that “her men were almost qualified to fight the ship without her officers.” This remark applies to her last cruise in the war of 1812, when Capt. Stewart fought and captured in a single engagement two British sleops-of-war, the Cyane and Le- vant. During this war she captured the British frigate Guerrtere, having completely dis- masted her by her fire. This action came off on the eastern coast somewhere near Halifax, Nova Scotia. On the 20th of De- cember, 1812, in the Bay of Biscay, she fought and captured the British frigate Java, losing nine men killed and twenty- five wounded. In this fight she also dis- masted the Java, while the Constitution Piles. did not lose a spar, although she went into | action with royal yards. crossed. Febru- ary 20, 1815, she captured the British schooner-of-war Picton. Altogether, in the war of 1812 she captured five vessels of war, also ten merchantmen belonging to the enemy, This ship—the Constitution—is older than our Navy Department, having been ordered built by an act of Congress in 1794, and finished and put in commission in 1798, costing over $300,000. She was built under direction of the Treasury and War Departments. Before the war of 1812 she had been in active service in the Mediterranean during the war with Tripoli, and was the flagship of Commodore Edward Preble. Since the war with England she has been commis- stoned to important and honorable service in various parts of the world. Her last voyage across the Atlantic was on a special mission, and one of peace instead of war, being designated to carry the American ex- hibits to the Paris exposition, and so this famous man-of-war, “Whose deck, once red with heroes’ blood, Where knelt the vanquished foe,”— she goes as 2 messenger of peace, bearing the olive branch and not the sword, in the interest of industry and the advancement of commerce, manufactures and the peace- ful arts. This was a fitting termination of her active life, and now a hundred years old, like a “shock of corn fully ripe,” let her be gathered to the capital city, a mu- seum of precious relics, an object lesson and a reminder of the patriotism of our revolutionary fathers and of the naval heroes who once trod her deck. LUTHER CALDWELL. YORK. Sale of Leutze’s Masterpiece, “Wash- ington Crossing the Delaware.” Frem the New York Times. “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” the famous historical painting by Emanuel Leutze, was purchased last evening by John S. Kennedy for $16,100 at the sec- ond night’s sale of the Marshall O. Rob- erts collection at Chickering Hall. 8. P. Avery,’ jr., bid for the picture for Mr. Kennedy against Mr. Kauffmann and another gentleman, representing the Cor- coran Art Gallery of Washington, and the contest was spirited and exciting. The first bid was $5,000, and then by thousand-dollar bids the figures ran up to $15,500. A five- hundred-dollar bid followed from Washing- ton, and then, after a minute’s delay, dur- ing which Auctioneer Somerville shared the excitement of the audience, Mr. Avery bid $16,100 and secured the prize. A burst of applause followed the final drop of the hammer, and this grew into a shout when Mr. Somerville announced that Mr. Kennedy would present the painting to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The huge canvas was not seen by the gathering, as it was too large to remove from the Roberts house. Mr. Roberts probably paid about $25,000 for the picture in the fifties.

Gov.-Elect Atkinson Speaks of the Party Triumph and Predicts Future Success. The West Virginia Republican Associa- tion last evening entertained the officers- ; elect of the state, the state’s representa- tives in Congress.and other specially in- vited guests at a banquet given at the Hotel Wellington. More than one hundred members and guests were present, despite the inclemency of the weather, and a most enjoyable evening’ was spent. Judge Chas. F. Scott presided as toastmaster, and in brief and interesting addresses Governor- elect G. W. Atkinson and others portrayed the prominence of West Virginia in politi- cal and commercial life and the part. she played in the last campaign. During the evening the Soldiers’ Home Orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Michael C. Meyrelles, rendered a most delightful pro- gram. It was nearly 10 o'clock when the com- pany sat down at the handsomely arranged table, with Judge Scott seated at the head, and Gov.-elect Atkinson and the other in- vited guests on either side of him, and it was about midnight when the splendid re- past had been discussed. Then Judge Scott in a few graceful words extended a hearty welcome to every one, saying the associa- tion was deeply grateful for the honor con- ferred upon it by the presence of so dis- tinguished a company. He referred to the part West Virginia played during the last campaign, remarking that the state had come into the republican ranks to stay. He called attention to the great natural re- sources of the state, and predicted that she would under republican rule progress in a most wonderful degree. He referred to Gov.-elect Atkinson as a natural born leader, one who has been a republican all his life, and as a man of great ability. Then, after reading letters from Judge Nathan Goff, Gov. Lowndes of Maryland, Representative J. P. Dolliver, Judge H. C. McWhorter, Speaker Hanen of the West Virginia legislature, and others, regretting their inability to be present, Judge Scott introduced Goy.-elect Atkinson, who re- sponded to the toast, “West Virginia, after March 4th.” Mr. Atkinson thanked the’ assemblage for the honor conferred upon him in invit'ng him to be present, and as- sured them that after the 4th of next March West Virginia will be ruled by re- publicans from the chief executive down to laborers. The state had done wonderfully well in the late campaign, but she would not do her whole duty until she had re- placed Senator Faulkner by a republican. ‘The state can henceforth be safely counted on as a republican one, and he predicted that before his term of four years expired her people will have forgotten the terms Yankees and carpetbaggers,” and will no longer know where the south ended and the north began. Other Toasts. Governor Atkinson was followed by Na- tional Committeeman N. B. Scott, who was intimately connected with Mr. Hanna in the management of the national campaign. He commended Mr. Hanna as a man of not only great executive abilities, but also as one of the utmost integrity. Mr. Scott was enthusiastically received, and other toasts responded to were: Republicans of "63, Rep- resentative A. G. Dayton; Gates Hung on Other Posts, Representative B. B. Dovener; Snap Shots, Representatives Warren Miller, C. P.. Dorr, J. H. Huling, Attorney General E. P. Rucker, State Treasurer M. A.

This morning about 10 o'clock Precinct Detective Hartigan of the sixth precinct made an arrest, which he thought might prevent a man with a temporarily disorder- ed mind from doing something for which he would afterward be sorry. The man’s condition, the physicians afterward deter- mined, was the result of the use of alco- holic stimulants, and he was treated ac- cordingly. An injection of morphine was given him and he was sent to the police station for additional treatment. The un- fortunate man is David Flynn, who lives at 211 10th street northeast, and is em- ployed in the Medical Museum. When he entered Walford’s store, on Pennsylvania avenue, this morring, he seemed somewhat excited, and the beads of perspiration on his brow led the clerk to believe that the customer was laboring under some mental disorder. “I want a good pistol.” said the cus- tomer, “and I want it loaded.” The clerk handed out a number of pistols, and the customer finally selected one of good pattern, and then the clerk loaded it. But fearing the man wanted it for some bad purpose he put in blank cartridges in- stead of bullets, and a few minutes later Mr. Flynn was found by the officer stand~ ing at the corner of 4% and D streets, wait- ing for a car, on which he intended to go home. He had the pistol in his pocket, and the officer relieved him of his burden. On his way to police headquarters Mr. Flynn said he had bought the pistol for the purpose of killing a neighbor. This neighbor, he said,, had been flashing lights in his house and had his family under a spell to the extent that he could make them do his bidding. He detailed the strange effects produced by the flashing of the light, and said he had stood the annoyance until he could stand it no longer. The police notified his family of his arrest, and he will probably be sent home or to a hospital for treat- ment. Flynn to Shoot a —_——>_— Transfers of Real Estate. Dumbarton Heights—Chas. A.

SCHNEIDER'S NEW HOUSES, Property Sold in Mt. Pleasant to Be Improved. R. M. Morrison, real estate broker, 600 F street northwest, has just suld to Charles Schneider, president of the Schneider Bak- ing Company, the Wormley property on Park street, Mt.

Mr. Goenner ts preparing the plans for these houses also. caret Mr. Cleveland and the Inaugural Bal To the Editor of The Evening Sta! Following the custom or practice of his presidential predecessor, Mr. Cleveland will not be present at the inaugural ball on the evening of March 4 next, unless he changes his mind. And the question here arises, “Why doesn’t he change his mind?” Sure- ly, the fact that he has retired from his high office is no reason why he should so incontinently run away from town, leaving it and its people, either as if he were es- caping for cause, or because he felt so un- kindly toward everybody that he couldn't possibly tolerate us any longer. Of course, this is in no wise true, and Mr. Cleveland should avoid the appearance of making it so. Nor is the fact that his predecessors have escaped between two days any reason why he should do so. On the contrary, he should set a better example than theirs, and put a Cleveland stamp upon that as he has put one on matters more political, and which will ever remain. Then again it will be a pleasant courtesy to his successor and to the officials and patrons of the ball,which is national in its character and magnificent in its appointments. And still again it will afford an opportunity to say farewell to Mrs. Cleveland, about whom, as about no other President's wife, have clustered the romance of girthood and greatness, during twelve years of her life, two-thirds of which have been spent among the people of Washington, where it may be safely said she has more friends than anywhere else in the world, what cannot be said of every woman who is brought into immedi- ate and personal contact with all kinds of people. Not that people want to say fai well to Mrs. Cleveland, any more than they want to say farewell to the sunshine, but they will be glad of the opportunity to see her for the last time in so magnificent a setting. All things considered, the question is again put, “Why doesn’t Mr. Cleveland, accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland, attend the inaugural ball?” W. J. LAMPTON. é —_>— An Inadvertent Omission. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In a recent issue of your paper, in com- menting on the senatorial question, now being discussed in the state of Illinois, on the withdrawal of Alderman Madden, you expressed a desire that the senatorial chair, about to be made vacant by the re- urement of the present incumbent, John M. Palmer, might be filled by such men as Douglas, Trumbull, Oglesby and oth- ers. Many of your veteran soldier friends der why the name of Senator John A. Logan was omitted, for the reason that they believe that the senatorial chair was filled by. Senator Logan, equal, if not su- perior, to any senator ever from the state cf Hlinois. _ _ M. D.
