MESSRS. BEAUMONT AND WRIGHT They Point Out the Needs of the Workingman. UNITED ACTION NECESSARY Despite the extreme inclemency of the weather Plasterers’ Hall, corner of Penn- sylvania avenue and 4% street northwest, was well filled last evening with members and friends ef the order of the Knights of Labor, who assembled there to listen to ad- dresses from Messrs. James A. Wright of Philadelphia, private counsel of the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, Ralph Beaumont. a leading member ef the order, whose home is in Minnesota. The meeting was cailed to order by Mr. Sam De Nedry of the headquarters of the Knights of Labor, who explained the rea- son for holding at that time an open meet- ing of District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor. Referring to the fact that rain was falling heavily, Mr. De Nedry said he really believed it was “tears of joy from the celestial sphere to which we all hope to 50.” On motion of Mr. De Nedry, District Mas- ter Workman Lawson was called to the chair. After a few remarks Mr. Lawson introduced Mr. Beaumont as the first speaker of the evening. The latter said, in part: Mr. Benumont’s Address. “There used to be a statement twenty- five years ago that the interests of labor and capital were identical. That is no longer true.” After some remarks along that line Mr. Beaumont gave an account of the rise and progress of the labor move- Then he said: “This is an age of combination, and the man who does not be- long to the combine will get robbed. “There is no use,” he continued, “in a ~ man who starts out in life to ex- to gain a fortune by pursuing honest hods, and he might as weil commence with a peanut stand as a dry goods store. He will rise as high with the one as the other.” eaumont next -related an incident happened, he said, in his own f&mi- vhich illustrated how by the use of machinery “wages have in many in- s been brought down to a third of were before the particular ma- invented.” ." he continued, “I went into busi- aker, a number ago, I only had to buy $% worth of now, to start the same sort of @si- I must invest $20,000 in machinery and a capital of or I will be n out of business inside of two years. - question for laboring people to con- how long can we stand these aking of the greed and oppression of corporations, Mr. Beaumont said: the first corporation was chartered s, a piece was slashed out of the and this has gone on until not only got the they have the ju- by Cong Constitution, the corporations have but s ‘Yy sober man who siad- Debs case knows, they have the Mr. Heaumont referred at much length to nner ia which Mr. J. Pierpont Mor- he said, secured the controi of the transportation b: s of the country, and, continuing, said: “The true condition of the labor question has got to be understood by labor people, and the sooner they get cown to the study of the problem the bet- ter. The times are getting tighter and tighter, and if the laboring people of this ration do not educate themselves so as to equip themselves to be able to meet the issue something is going to happen.” Beaumont closed by urging his kear- m clubs for the purpose of study- ing the ieading questions of Mr. Wright's Remarks. Mr. Wright said in part: “It is to remove all the errors that we tronting us if it be in our power to do se. The land question is one that demands cur serio and prompt attention. I be- no man ought to have more land than he can properly cultivate. I care nethis for what the courts have declared on this subject. “I can study the Constitution, and IL am convinced that we are rot only clothe der that instrument with power to chi the p nt system in regard to the owner- ur duty find con- raost weve ship of land, but we can change the form of government under which we live. “I believe the hours of labor should be re- d to such an extent that every man should have offered to him the opportunity to earn a living.

Mr. Wright talked at much length on the conaitien of the miners in Pennsylvania, who, he said, were paid but 22 cents a ton for = coal, which, a it gets here, costs the consumer $5.50 per ton, and said the voters of the country weré fools to permit such things to be carried on, ‘The industrial Comminsion Bill Urged. Referring to the industrial non-partisan commission bili, which has passed the House of atives, and is pending in the Mr. Wright urged that all the members of organized labor societies in the rict of Columbia. whether they are ed with the Knights of Labor or Cen- bor Union, should unite for the pur- » of asking the Senate to pass the bili, becomes a law it will, he said, do more good for the cause of labor than any- thing that been done by Congress for the working people for the past thirty years. Mr. Wright referred to the discharge of men connected with the Knights of Labor from the service of the Metropolitan Rail- road Company last fall, and said the raii- road company would get no charter from Congress for further extensions of its lines if the Knights it of Labor could prevent Mr. Wright aiso took up the subject of the meeting o fthe mothers’ congre’s now in session in Washington and said it would do far more good if, instead of discussing “how to heat milk for babies or how chil- dren ought to be dressed for breakfast,” the ladies would try to have the child labor h is aimed to protect children aga having to work in factories at a tender age, properly enforced, and if they do not, he said, take some interest in that direction it is, he asserted, because they care nothing for poor people. Mr. Wright closed his speech with an earnest appeal for harmony among the members of the organized labor of the Dis- trict, and declared that if they would cease all bickering and work for the good of all the effect would be incalculable. President James F. McHugh of the local federation was invited to make an address, but he declined on account of the lateness of the hour.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1897-12 PAGES. AMUSEMENTS. Academy of Music.—In “Jane Eyre,” given at the Academy of Music last night, Miss Eugenie Blair scored quite as distinct a hit as she made in the production of “East Lynne,” presented the first part of the week. Both of these works have been rather roughly treated in past years, but the way in which Miss Blair handled the title role of the former last night made up in some measure for past deficiencies. Her conception and her treatment of the char- acteristics of the friendless girl w <e al- most without fault, and although ‘Jane Eyre” is a play in which it is very possible to allow forced emotions to appear, it may be said that Miss Blair was at all times natural, artistic and intelligent in the ex- treme. The characteristics that attended the production of “East Lynne’’—smooth- ness and excellent stage menagement—were in evidence last night, and the whole work was a studied production of the old-time favorite. After Miss Blair, Mr. Edwin Terry deserves praise for his reading of the nart of Lord Rochester. Mr. Wiliiam Owens’ Ingram was also notably good, while Mrs. Ella Wren, the mother of the star in. the company, made a distinct hit in a part of a secondary importance. The remainder of the cast is very acceptable in the various characters ‘assigned and filled in the minor parts with ease and skill. Col. Ingersoll’s Lecture.—There is always a hearty welcome in the city of Washing- ton for Col. Robert G. Ingersoll. No man in public life today possesses the power of. oratory that is at the command of this marvelously equipped apostle of the so- called religion of reason. Gifted by nature with a clear, musical voice and a brain capable of retaining without difficulty any impressions it receives, Col. Ingersoll is a born orator. Not only is he an orator, but a profound thinker and scholar as well. He has spent many years among books, and the knowledge he has gained from them, supplemented by his close observa- tion of the lessons taught by nature, has armed him for the lecture platform in the highest possible degree. Impatient of the superstitious platitudes that too often take the place of reasonable explanation, the colonel goes straight to the point in his discourses, and there is never any doubt as to what he means. He despises hum- bug-with all the thoroughness of an honest man, and when he utters his fiercest de- nunciation it is directed against some im- pudent pretense. A great outpouring of the votaries of eloquence will greet the mag- netic orator-agnostic at the New National Theater next Sunday night, when he will tell Washingtonians “How to Reform Man- kind.” Dr. Creoffut's Lecture—At Dr. Croffut's lecture on Egypt last Sunday evening the sign “standing room only” was ap. Sun- y evening he will lecture at the same ce on**The Shrines of Greece and Rome,” with sixty lantern slides. FOR HOME RULE. Beard of Trade to Consider the Dis- trict Offices. An important special meeting of the board of trade will be held next Tuesday n'ght for the purpose of considering the question cf local appointments. There has been considerable talk among members lately over published stories that District offices are to be filled by outsiders. The re- rort that William Hahn of Ohio is slated for marshal of the District has had as much to do with this talk as anyihing else. The meeting is not called to protest against the appointment of Mr. Hakn in particular, but it is believed it will protest against the appointment of non-residents tn neral. Home rule will be the motto which will be adopted by the board, which will probably use all its influence in behalf of home peo- ple for the offices to be filled. ‘The meeting has been called by President Woodward at the request of a number of members who think something ought to be Gone. ——_—_ Through Sleeping Cars to Toledo. Commenciug February 21, the B. and O. R. R., in connection with the B. and O. S. W. and C. BK.

The st-bound train will leave Baltimore 10:15 p-m., Washington 11:25 p.m., and arrive at Columbu: So and Toledo 6:35 next after- roon. This is the best service ever offered between Washington, central Ohio and Michi, , and will doubtless prove to be popular with the public.—Advt. ee SSS Some Mistakes of Parents. Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, superintendent of purity department of the natiqnal W. C. T. U., will give an address, entitled “Some Mistakes of Parenis,” at W. C. T. U. head- quarters, 910 F street, tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. Dr. Wood-Allen’s experience and wonderful success in arousing the parents of this nation to a knowledge of the dutics and privileges of parenthood and pro- moting organized effort and determined activity among parents has made her name a household word throughout the land. It is claimed by her friends that she has done more to uplift parenthood and enno- ble childhoed than any one in America. A. €. Reception Tonight. The Columbia Atheletic Club will tonight give a reception and dance at their club heuse, and it promises to be the most en- joyable event given by the popular organ- ization this winter. The house will be handsomely decorated with thelr colors, red and blue, and a mandolin orchestra will furnish the music fer the evening. Ar- rangements have been made for dancing in the sym, and the music committee has lef: rothing undone to make the occasion a suc- cessful ore. ———— Low Prices Tomorrow on Butter, Eggs and cheese, at Gibbons’ butter stand: Mt.

With the exception of about eight schools. presiding officers and speakers have beer selected for each of the buildings. This does not include the schools of small size, such as four-roon: buildings. Owing to the lack of space, it has been de- cided that all these schools will celebrate the day at the Grand Opera House, which has been secured. The celebration there will take place at 2 o'clock, the same time as at the other schools in the city. Admis- ston will be by ticket, to be distributed tq the pupils by the teachers. The building will seat about 2.500 youngsters. President S. W. Woodward of the board of irade will preside, and Commissioner John W. Ross and Gen. Nelson A. Miles will be among the speakers. Gen. Horace Porter has also been invited to speak and will probably be pres- ent. The Marine Band has been ordered to Play patriotic and stirring musie for the youngsters.

SPIER’S ™ Nin 8. Opposite Perry's fel7-14@ A POPULAR PRIEST. Father Mackin Warmly Welcomed by Hix Parishioners. The parishioners~of St. Paul's Romar Catholic Church extended a giad and en- thusiastic welcome last night to their pas- tor, Rev. Father James F. Mackin, on his return from Rome, where he went several weeks ago in company with Archbishop Keane and Rev. Father Gloyd of St. Pat- rick’s Church. There are few clergymen who have such a warm place in the hearts of their flocks as Father Mackin, and this has always been the case ever since he took holy orders. Many years ago he was stationed at Rockville, and there attained a popularity among persons of all creeds that yet exists. When assistant here at St. Matthew's he was simiiarly favored, and ever since he has been in charge of St. Paul's he has been beloved as widely as he is esteemed. Consequently it was not surprising that his return was made the occasion of a demonstration. He was es- corted over from Baltimore yesterday af- ternoon by a delegation of his parishioners, and met at the depot by another, Upon arriving at the parish residence, on V Street, he was met by the St. Paul's Drum Corps and a great crowd, and for an hour held a reception, which was attended by many Protestants, as well as Catholics. Father Mackin reports Archbishep Keane In good health, and says there is no fric- tion in Rome over the affairs of the Amer- ican church. COMPRESSED AIR. W. Kesley Schoepf Tells of the Eck- ington Road's Hopes. W. Kesley Schcepf, receiver for the Eck- ington and Belt Line railroads, was at the Commissioners’ office this morning in quest of a permit for the overhead construction of the Maryland and Washington railroad, which operates in the District along Rhode Island avenue between 4th street and the District line. He explained that the con- tract for the trolley construction had been awarded to the White-Crosby Company of New York, and that a car would be run over the line on the 2d day of March, the day the charter right of the company ex- pires. Concerning the Eckington and Belt rail- reads, ne said he was making a great effort to operate a compressed air car over the line by the 4th of next March. The Com- pressed Air Power Company, which con- strolled the Hoadley-Knight motor, had con- sented to furnish him a car equipped and ready for use, without cost to the com- pany, and he had accepted the offer. The car would be here in a few days and ope- rated during the first week in March. He Was convinced from a careful study of the situation that compressed air was the mo- tive power of the future. Some months ago he did not believe-such power was practicable, but since he had seen the Headley-Knight motor he was satisfied that compressed air was not only practica- ble, but the motive power of the future, to the use of which all reads would eventu- ally come. ———————— 51-2 HOURS To Old Point Comfort.

The salary of the presidency at Washington and Lee is understood to be $5,000, with the u ofa fine old presidential mansion. Hitherto the salary has been $3,000, the advance having been made as an inducement to Mr. Wilson to accept the place. Ne had several offers and had seriously considered an opportunity to go to New York and practice law. Mr W. C. Lee, who retires from the presi- dency of Washington and Lee, is the son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and succeeded his fath- er as president of the university. His re- tirement is made necessary by his advanc- ing age. ie 5-lb. boxes finest creamery butter at $1.40. James F.

Now it may be inconsistent, and, no doubt, sounds frivolous for me to mention it, but every one I have ever in my life met has said, “a band always stops playing when it reaches me.” The singu- larity of this can be explained without re- course to a philosophy; but the main fault can be attributed to the old, motto, “those in authority have everything arranged.” However, rather than run any risks, I ven- ture to suggest a plan, viz: Let bands march at regular intervals, the alternate bands always playing at the same time. When cne complement of bands has ceased its strain the other is to begin. The effect of this is as wonderful as its conception. At no poiat on the line of march will the sounds of mstruments completely die away. We have no doubt that everything has been arranged. but unless something is realy Gone the same old hitches will o cur, M.
