The executive committee of the Woman’s Republican Association held a largely at- ten meeting Saturday night, at the headquarters of the organization, 412 7th street. The object of the meeting was to ccmplete arrangements for the McKinley and Hobart carnival, to be given by the association at Masonic Temple, and which will begin tomorrow night. Reports from various committees were heard, and all indicated that the utmost interest was being taken in the affair.

Great Rejoicing Among the Celes- tals Tonight. This will be @ great night in “China- town,” for the celestials are going to cele- brate the Chinese New Year, as well as the anniversary of the birth of the four filial sons. It was the intention of all “Chinatown” to turn out last night at mid- night and celebrate the day by setting off fireworks, but Major Moore would not give his permission. His refusal had made the Chinamen angry, but they made no effort to violate the law, although they did sit in judgment on the authorities. And so the followers of Confucius will celebrate be- tween 6 and 10 o'clock tonight. “Gong He Fo Toi,” which means a happy New Year, is printed on red cards, and these cards are distributed and pasted on front doors as well as in laundries and other places of business conducted by Chi- namen. These cards are also exchanged between Chinamen in different cities. For the first time in the present century the New Year falls on the anniversary of the birth of the four filial sons, so that the celebration, which will last three days, has a double significance. The temple or Joss House at 104 41% street has been handsome- ly decorated with silk flags, lanterns and Chinese characters, and the sweet-scented incense is kept burning all the time. What the Chinese call good things were placed on the aitar as an offering to Joss, and the prayers and petitions that were laid at his feet were enough to keep him busy for several days. The Chinese Masons are to celebrate the event more elaborately than the ordinary private citizens, and the feast which they will enjoy, they say, is fit for Joss. Dressed in their best garments the celestials appear before this queer-looking Chinese character and make their wants known, as well as to give thanks for pros- perity in the past. But in order that their prayers shall be answered it is necessary that they shall appear free from debt, so that the Chinamen who were in debt made every effort during the past week to settle their earthly accounts. Rice and Chinese whisky and wine, as well as tea and something more substantial, are set on tables for guests, who help themselves. Tobacco and opium are also on the free list, but a Chinaman to be among the leaders must take part in the big dinner prepared at the Chinese restau- rant. This is a little costly, but the sub- seribers to the dinner are entitled to three sittings. At the first spread some of the Chinamen usually indulge in so much liquor that they roll under the table and have to be put to bed. The more who get in this condition the hetter the caterer is sulted, for then he has a fewer number of them at the next spread. At the Center market Saturday ducks and chickens were in great demand, the celestials getting in a supply to last during the holiday. Among the dishes served are duck leg soup with noodl sharks’ fins, stewed, served with ried oysters, smoked duck with Chinese etables, rice birds from China, salted duck eggs and chop soi, dish of chicken liver, onions and celery, bamboo sprouts, watermelon seed and Chinese whisky, pre- served sea fruit, candy and nuts. This season is a time that “fan-tan” and dominoes are indulged in hy the laundry- men and merchants. who are tgo poor or too busy to indulge in the sport @uring the remainder of the year, and some of them who smoke tobacco enjoy the opium pipe only at this time. At the Chinese legation New Year will be observed tomorrow, and it 1s likely that many of the laundrymen and merchants will call to wish the minis- ter a happy New Year and make him a present of some kind. ee Capital Club's Banquet. The Capital Bicycle Club celebrated its eighteenth anniversary Saturday night at its club bcuse, 409 15th street, with the usual banquet. There were 100 members in attendance. Francis H. Stevens presided ard Alexander Britton was toastmaster. Toasts were respended to as follows: “Presidential tid-bits,” Francis H. Stevens; “Filibusters,” Henry W. Reed; “Cloud: Alfred J. Henry; “Any Old Thing,” Henry E. Hinma: “lub champion: Irving Wil- liamson; “Short suit Daniel J. Carr, ard ‘‘Headers,” William Dinwiddie. At a late hour the club closed the banquet by singing the rollicking club song, “Keep It Away from the Ka — Praise Meeting. The annual praise meeting of the West- minster Church took place Friday even- ing at the church, and an excellent pro- gram delighted the appreciative audience therein mbled. Miss Mary Lattimore, just home from China, gave a graphic and interesting account of her labors there, and Miss Perley, who has been a missionary in Utah for thirteen years, stirred the hearts of her hearers by her earnest a: peal for mission schools in that state. M McNeilly won all hearts by her charming rendition of her two solos, and Mr. Doug- lass Miller, as usual, gave unqualified de- light by his solo. A beautiful solo from Mrs. Stephenson, organ solos from Miss Bailey and Mrs. Byram, with readings by Mrs. L. S. Depue and Mrs. Hazen, com- pleted the enjoyable program. > Miss Field to Read. It is announce that Miss Field, daughter of the late Eugene Field, will give a read- ing in this elty February 10 from her father’s poems. Miss Field is well known in Chicago as a reader, not only on ac- count of her father’s memory, but because she is endowed with exceptional talents in that lire. It is expected that her appear- ance here will be a most pleasing event, and that she will succeed as well at the capital as she has in the winay city. Virginia Republicans, A bazaar for the purpose of raising suf- ficient funds to purchase overcoats for those members of the Virginia Republican Association who desire to march in the inaugural parade on March 4 will be open- ed tonight at Green's Hall, 1719 Pennsyl- vania avenue. The opening address wil it is expected, be made by Representative D. H. Mercer of Nebraska. SS Minister Ordained. Rev. Alexander M. Rich, formerly as- sistant at Trinity P. E. Church, and in charge for a time after the death of the rector, Dr. Addison, was ordained into the priesthood yesterday morning. Bishop Sat- terlee conducted the ordination ceremony, and was assisted in the services by Rev. Dr. John H. Elliott of Ascension, Rev. Mr. Ames, Rev. Mr. Charles F. Hayes of the Pro-Cathedral and Rev. Mr. Cornell. Dr. Elliott delivered an earrest and scholarly address upon the subject of the duties and resporsibilities of the priest, at the con- clusion of which he proffered the candi- date for the priesthood and the latter was formally ordained by the bishop. Mr. Rich preached ai the evening service at Trin- ity. ee Washington Presbytery. A special meeting of the Washington presbytery was held Saturday afternoon at Gunton Temple Memorial Church, and ar- rangements completed for the installation of the pastor-elect, Rev. A. S. Fiske, Friday evening of next week. On that occasion” Rev. Dr. C. B. Ramsdell will preside and bropound the constitutional questions. Rev. Dr. Horton of Philadelphia will deliver the installation sermon. The charge to the pastor will be by Rev. Dr. Wallace Rad- cliffe of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, and the charge to the people by Rév. Dr. Talmage of the First Presbyterian Church; Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland will offer the concluding invocation. ———— Secular League. A large audience was present yesterday afternoon at the regular weekly meeting of the Secular League, in Typographical Temple. Dr. Joseph Steiner read a paper on ‘‘Woman’s Position in Civilization.” The discussion which followed was par- ticlpated in by Prof. Hyland C. Kirk, Mau- rice Pechin, Dr. W. A. Croffut, Mrs. Wood- ward, Col. Richard J. Hinton, Dr. J. J. Shirley and D. Webster Groh. —_>___ Installed Officers. The foNowing have been installed officers of Gonzaga Council, No. 441, C. B.

The Biographe.—Mr. Whiting Allen’s new machine, the biographe, started on its ex- hibftions at Willard Hell Saturday, and from the first it proved to be more accept- able in every way than the invention it supplanted—the cinematographe. The pic- tures are given with a trueness to life that is startling in the extreme to those who are upprepared for the action, the detail and the fidelity containea in them. There is nene of the blurring effects or the vivid flashes of light on the. screen that charac- terize other inventions: of a like sort. An- other thing in favor of the biographe is that, while the limit of speed of other ma- chines in taking a picture is sixteen per second, the biographe'is able to take forty pictures a second, this making it possible to take the picture of the Empire State Ex- press that is shown going at the rate of sixty miles an hour. The biographe also take® pictures two inches by two inches and a half in size, while the dimensions of views taken by other machines are three-quarters of an inch by one inch. This enables a much larger picture to be shown, at the same time allowing a much clearer idea of details to be given. The exhibitions are given every day at 2:30, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m. Scme of the views shown are the United States flag being whipped in a spanking breeze, a barn on fire, an exceptionally splendid view of the Niagara rapids and another of the falls itself, Rip Van Win- kle’s toast, the kissing scene from “Triiby,” Herald Square with a turnout of the fire department, a negro baby undergoing the ordeal of a bath, a McKinley parade, Mc- Kinley at home, shooting the chute, a sleighing party, a section of the famous sound money parade in New York, the Win- chester arms factory, Union Square, show- ing “dead man’s” curve; a kitten being washed by an energetic but unsympathetic child and the Empire State Express going at full speed. This last view is a most re- narkable one and shows the train, full size, coming up the track and seemingly runing straight into the audience. When a short distance away it takes a curve, however, and runs gracefully off, showing, however, the full working of the engine, the people ut the windows of the cars and reproducing every detail, no matter how small it may be. Prof. Gore’s Lecture.—“In the Wake of the Pilgrims” was the subject of a lecture delivered at the Church of Our Father last night by Prof. F. H. Gore of Columbian University. Prof. Gore spent three months last summer in Holland, and while there he made a careful study of the causes which prompted the Pilgrims to leave that ccuntry, and his lecture last evening was in the main on that line. He said that while the Pilgrims left England because of re- ligious persecution, that was not the reason why they left Holland. They were unable to compete with the Dutch ard so could not learn a living there, preferring to take their chances in a new country, where they would be on equal terms. A large au- dience. was present to hear Prot. Gore and he was complimented in a hearty: manner at its conclusion. SS Electricity From Great Falls, To the Editor cf The Evening Star: I observe that the Civic Center has ap- pointed a committee to ascertain whether it is not practicable to run the street cars by electricity generated by the Great Fails water power. If the committee will consult a copy of Sen. Ex. Doc., No. , second session of Fifty-third Congress, being a report made by Col. Elliott in accordance with a resolu- tion of the Senate, adopted July 23, 1894, they will find full information on the sub- ject. In that report he states that at the low- est stage of the water there is 6,395 horse power, and that by storing the water above this can be increased to, 8,648 horse power, far more than is required to generate suffi- cient electricity to run all the cars in the District. In that report Col. Elliott also gives an estimate of the cost of preparing for and installing an electric plant, with means for bringing the current to the city; and which, with recent improvements, can no doubt be done for much less. He says: “It is en- tirely feasible to use the Great Falls water power for the lighting of the public build- ings, grounds and streets of the District of Columbia,” and that the great advantage of using the water power for that purpose will be the increased amount of light for the same annual exvenditure; and the board concludes that it is advisable to use the water power for the purposes indi- eated in the resolution.” is claimed by the owners that the water power is much greater than indi- cated by Col. Elliott’s report: but whether it is or not, it is obvious that by supple- menting it with a steam plant, to be used during low water only, the power would be greatly more than stated, because at other seasons of the year the water power is much in excess of that stated. be, I think, no question the project perfectly feasible, but that when done it will be one of the finest things of the kind in the United States, after that at Niagara Falls. I may add that a bill for the purchase of the property and power not already owned by the United States government is now pending in both houses, which it is hoped will be passed at the present session.

Thomus Camp, No. 31, Sons of Veterans, U.S. A., met Friday evening at the home of their past president, Mrs. Houchen, 515 B street northeast, to do honor to their of- ficers-elect and to assist at their installa- tion. Mrs. Irby W. Reid is the retiring president of the society. The officers for the ensuing year are: Mrs. Mamie P. Dor- sey, president; Miss Tilla Wilson, vice pres- ident; Mrs. Switzer, chaplain; Miss Carrie Bierley, treasurer, and Miss Rosamond Meacham, guide. The officers present were installed by Irby W. Reid, division quartermaster, after which the society and its friends were en- tertained by a well-selected literary and musical program. The charming recita- tions by Miss Irene Bayne, the touching solos by Miss Houchen and the pleasing piano duets by Miss Dorothy Houchen and Miss Lilian Dorsey were the features of the evening’s entertainment, which closed after a bountiful repast. The society starts the coming year with good prospects for a bright and successful future. oe Held a Meeting. An enthusiastic meeting of the “Abra- cadabra Club” was held Wednesday even- irg, at the home of Mr. Thomas W. Scott, 417 B street northeast. Two new members were elected.

Skilled and Unskilled Labor—Addrens to the Federation of Labor. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor has prepared an ad- Gress to the members of the organization, which will be printed in the Federationist, the official organ of the American Federa- tion of Labor, for next month, and is as follows: “During the coming year greater effort should be put forth than ever before for the organization of our feliow workers, and particularly those who are employed at what is generally known as unskilled labor. There is unquestionably a wrongful opinion as to what constitutes the dividing line between skilled and unskilled labor. “We have in mind a number of trades in which only a decade ago a regular series of years were required to serve an appren- ticeship in order to qualify a worker to be- come a journeyman, an effective trades- man, yet within a brief period these men have found that their entire early training, study and practice acquired at their trade become absolutely useless to them. A ma- chine or a series of machines were invent- ed, rendering their skill superfiuous,’ since any one with ordinary intelligence and ability could apply himself to operate the machine. Again, in numerous instances, Searcely more than physical power and or- dinary application were necessary. “Thus we notice trade after trade being encroached upon by the daily intreduction of machinery and improved tools. The skilled worker of yesterday becomes the unskilled laborer of today and tomorrow. We, therefore, view with increasing in- terest the growth of the organizations of the unskilled workers. The necessity for the extension of the beneficent influences of unionism to labor cannot now be ques- tioned by any one who is a real observer and student of past and current industrial affairs. “Organization has accomplished this much for the workers. It has not only secured higher wages, shorter hours and better conditions of employment, but it has a!so instilled a degree of independence and man- hood and intelligence, resulting from the changed conditions, that none should re- main outside of its ranks. “We often find that the workers em- ployed in some of the unskilled trades are receiving higher wages and working less hours, and have better conditions than do some of our other so-called skilled fellow workers. While we have every apprecia- tion and desire that the wage earners shall acquire as much skill in the performance of their labor as is possible, yet all history demonstrates that it is not so much the question of skill in labor as it is the part of that skill devoted to an appreciation of existing economie and social conditions, that is, the recognition of the necessity of organization, which is the real means by which wages, homes and conditions of em- ployment are permanently improv “The year in which we live should be one fraught with great results in the strides and onward march of the labor movement. There is constant danger of encroachment upon the domain and interests of the one upon the other. The unemployed skilled workman becomes a competitor for the em- ployment of the unskilled workman, and the unemployed skilled and unskilled work- ers become a menace to the employment, Wages and cenditions of all; so that in the first instance, as well as in the last dezree, the interests of all labor are identical. These interests are therefore fostered, pro- tected and advanced by the organization of all. “Let us all perform our duty to ourselves and our fellow workers. Let us bend every energy to secure a better and more thor- ough organization of the unskilled workers of our country, and assisting them to a recognition of their dui which will cer- tainly lead io a realization of their rights and every advance step made by them can only tend to raise the entire economic, social and moral position of the wz earn- ers, and hence the entire peopl A Little Book of Big Value.
