Pelz, 2011 F street west, last night for the b ‘it of the 1 of the New Church, at the cor- h and Corcoran streets. A large of interested art student , as well number of others, were present, and applauded. Mr. Messer said that true realism could not be properly defined, but should be left to defi He ce- : well-known works of art, ne pointed out details ihat were to Ife, but showed wherein the ubject lacked that essential qual- lism and impressionism were in a interchangeable t ity measur imp: uism being a fair re such realism as fs found in a pictuce where etails are perfect, but where the whole effect is lacking the essential of reality. Mr. Messer discussed the methods of well: known painters, and said that he consid- €red Corot the ideal realist. The whole of & painting. said Mr. Messer, is only as good @s its weakest part, and’ when cne felt pted to chip a piece from the gunwale a boat one had a right to expect the SUCCESSFUL SEINING Numerous Bass and Crappie Being Placed in the Potomac. Provisions of the New Law Govern- ing Fishing in the Potomac and Its Upper Tributaries. Reports received from Mr. R. H. De- ment, who is ir charge of the party of United States fish commission experts en- gaged in seining the Chesapeake and Ohio canal from Little Falls up to Point of Rocks, are very gratifying. The party has been at work a week and each day has taken out of the canal pools about 1%) large bass, weighing from 1 to 6 pounds each, and from 3%) to 500 crappie, besides a large number of perch and minnows. he crap is a game fish shaped some- thing like a sun fish, but much larger. Its color is ver mottled on the sides with dark cloudy streaks. The crappie greatly resembles the chinguapin bass, but is a much gamer and of a delicious flavor. The crappie rises eagerly to the fly and fights vigorously when hooked. The sein- ing party will probably ce: operations this evening. Anglers are eagerly waiting for the river to-sclear in order to get a chance at the bass before the prohibitive son begins. As there seems to he some -ertainty about the hew law governing hing in the Potomac and its tributaries above Little Falls the regulations of the statute adcpted by the states of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland are given as follows: The provisions of the act have been made the states of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland, and it provides that it shall not be lawful for any person to catch or kill any black bass, green bass, rock bass, pike or pickerel or wall-eyed pike (commonly known as salmon) between the 15th day of April and the first day of June of each year; nor to catch or kill any of said species of fish at any other e during the year, save only with a rod, hook and line, or dip net- The words hook and line shall not apply to what Is known trot-lines or outlines. Any person violating the provisions of the act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punishable, on conviction, by imprisor.ment in the county jail not ex- ceeding six months, cr by a fine not ex- ceeding $2), or by fine and jmprisonment. It is the duty of the courts for the coun- ties abutting on the Potomac river or its tributaries at each session of the grand jury to call its attention to the provisions of this law. Anglers will be wise to govern them- selves accordingly, because comprehensive plans are now being prepared by the state horities of the three states to assure arrest of all persons violating the law any way. REVOLUTION. Regular March Meeting and the Busi- ness Transacted. At the regular March meeting of the Sons of the American Revolution, held last night in the society's hall, 11th and E streets, the fellowing members were chosen to repre- sent the soclety at the national ccrgress, to be held in Cléveland, April 30: Delegates— President E. M. Gallaudet, Dr. Marcus Ben- jamin, W. V. Cox, Frank B. Smith, Gen. T. M. Vincent and Noble D. Larner. Alter- nates—Dr. Chrissy, Capt. Steever, Gen. Breckenridge, C. F. F Beale and Mr. Blount. A resolution, referred by the Sons of the Revolution, providing for the selec- tion of one member of each of the two s0- cieties as a committee to award a handsome gold m to the boy or girl in regular at- tendance upon the schools of the District who shall write the most creditable essay upon a topic relating to the history of the revolutionary war, was favorably acted upon. The concurrent resolution provides that a number of the Sons of the Revolu- tion and a corresponding number of the Sens of the American Revolution shall meet and select a third person, the three to elect a chairman ameng themselves and act as a committee of arrangements. The specific character of the essay, as well as the procedure in the presentation and ad- judgment of the prize, will be determined later by the committee. Dr. Bayne was appointed the committee on behalf of the Scns of the American Revolution. It was further resolved to appoint Dr. Benjamin a committee to represent the society in pro- curing a suitable testimonial to be present- ed to the Washington Light Infantry. A committee of five was also appointed to ccnfer with other state societies for the purpose of raising funds for the erection in Washington of a fireproof hall of records, similar to that to be erected in the mall by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The meeting was concluded by the reading of @ paper. “History of American Heredi- tary Patriotic Societies,” by Dr. Benjamin, historian. AMERICS —— TRIP TO CALIFORNIA. Preparations Under Christinn Endez An rary Way for the © Convention. illustrated lecture covering the itine- and scenery of the proposed trip by the local union to San Francisco next sum- mer to the Christian Endeavor convention will be delivered tomorrow evening in the First Presbyterian Church on 41-2 street by W. A. Gillespie of Philadelphia. Every one interested is invited, especially those who are seriously considering the plans of the local transportation committee for the trip. Seats will be reserved until 7:40 o'clock for ticket holders, admission cards having been distributed through the so- cieties and to all those whose names are in the books of the transportation com- mittee. After that hour the public will be seated. Mr. Gillespie has recently returned from California, having made the journey for the burpose of arraiging for hotel accommo- dations and meals. He is acting for the Philadelphia union and for the District union as well. Last week he delivered his lecture in one of the large churches in Philadelphia, which was insufficient to ac- commodate ‘the interested throng that crowded to hear him. The local transportation committee, of which Mr, William W. Tuckey is chairman expects shortly to issue a handsome fifty- itinerary of the trip, fully illustrated, ing a detailed account of stop-overs, de trips, expenses and other needed in- ai formation. Mr. Tuckey stated this morning that the outlook was for quite a large- sized delegation from the District, and that possib.y a second special train would have to be arranged. The more he studied the pians, he said, the better satisfied he was that his first estimates as to the cost of the trip—$1#0—for transportation, meals and accommodations for the entire excur- sion woul-l not be exceeded. — — National Geographic Society. The meeting of the National Geographic Society tomorrow evening at the Cosmos Club will be devoted to an address by Mr. Arthur P. Davis of the United States geo- logical survey, on “The Deserts of Southern Arizona and How They Are Redeemed by Irrigation.” The subject will be illustrated by means of lantern-slide views. The fourth lecture of the Monday after- noon course will take place next Monday afternoon in Columbia Theater. It will be by Prof. Thomas Davidson of Brookiyn, N. Y., the founder of the Glenmore Sum- mer School of Philosophy, in the Adiron- dacks. Hi. subject will be Tyre and Sidon, and there will be copious lantern illustra- tion. Dr. Harris, the director of the bu- reau of edtcation, says of Prof. Davidson, in a.recent letter: “He is a graduate of Aberdeen University, Scotland, and by far the best scholar of his class or of the uni- versity for many years. His specialties are language and literature, but he is very lezrned in geography and tory. In for- mer years he made himself acquainted with Anglo-Saxon and the Icelandaic languages, In addition to his thorough knowledge of ‘Greek, Latin, French, German and Italian; ter in which it was placed to be equally reai. The camera, the lecturer thought, had done much to do away with che xraad and intelligent drawing of the oid mastors, because that instrument is used so much in the present day by artists. After the lec- ture there was a short musical program, in which Mr. William Hamilton, Miss Maude Sewall and Mrs. Elizabech’ Smith took part Mr. William Hamilton wiil deliver a lec- ture on Alask: hich will be illustrated by handsome views, at Mr. Pelz s residence next Wednesday evening, as a further benefit to the organ fund of the New Church. the last four years he has given to the Semitic languages, learning the Hebrew of the Old Testament and the Arabic.” Thursday evening next is the day set for the usual annual reception of the society at the Arlington, from 9 to 12 o'clock, and it is believed that it will be the most suc- cessful that the society has ever held. Members can obtain tickets for themselves and friends from the secretary of the so- ciety, Mr. Everett Hayden, at 4517 H street, or from the chairman of the reception com- mittee, Dr. David T. Day, at the geological survey. —.__. No. 1 Mantels, $1. Libbey & Co.—Advt. KNIGHTS OF ST. JOHN. They Celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by an Enjoyable Entertainment. The local order of the Knights of St. John celebrated St. Patrick’s day by an entertainment given last night at Carroll Institute Hall, under their auspices by the well known Burnt Cork Club. A large erowd was present, composed of members of the order and their friends, as well as a number of the admirers of the members of the club which gave the performance. The show given was on the order of a minstrel performance and was much en- joyed. The first part, the country home of the Royal Old Corker, was a pleasing minstrel conceit and some taking songs were introduced. Those who took part in this portion of the entertainment were Arthur Middleton, Charles Shackelford, Ross Wise, Byron Bond, Ross Gessford, Harry Shackelford, Howard Graham,Henry Hills, Master Burnside and John Harmon. After this came some specialties that were weil received, among the number being a contortion turn by Howard and Leigh that proved to be one of the hits of the even- ing. Stephen B. Clements played the banjo with his accustomed skill, Byron Bond sang a scrg which was illustrated with lantern slides, the Del Ray brothers gave an exhibition of acrobatic work that has not been equaled by any local team for some time past, and Henry Hills showed how well the drum major’s baton could be handled. Dimple Shackelford, the dan- seuse of the.elub, was encored in her num- ber, while fhe St. John Drum Corps re- ceived enthusiastic applause for its work in several selections. The entertainment was brought to a close by a farce entitled “Par:on Johnson's Chicken Brigade,” be- ing an original afterpiece by Harry Shack- elford and Howard Graham. After the en- tertairment dancing was indulged in until a late hour. The committees in charge of the affair were as follows: Reception com- mittee—F. S. Merkling, L. J. McGee, W. J. Frizzell, J. J. McCarthy, J. H. Callahan, P. B. O'Connor, J. D. O'Meara, P. J. Cro- nin and J. Gallagher; floor committee—H. Glotzbach, A. Hanfman, M. Mulvehill, G. Sager, F. S. Merkling, H. Kohler, D. Brad- ley and Al.

Mr. John Tweedaie will read the poem which has made immortal the love of Priscilla and John Aldea, the first lovers of the new world, and which gives such a graphic picture of the social life ef the Pilgrim Fathers in thelr home in the wilderness. The work, -with its sus- tained interest, its dramatic action and its educational’ and historic riches, is at- tractive to all American readers, and- hun- dreds in the city will be glad to have onc of their favorite works presented so at- tractively. The stereopticon views are pre- pared expressly for the occasioa, and are iustrative of both the thouzht and cc- tion of the poem. Many of them are pho- tographed from life groupings {illustrating the action of the story. The musical ac- companiment, prepared by Dr. J. W. Bisch- off especially for the occasion, is a unique feature and.an attractive and artistic ad- dition to the presentation. It will-give an additional charm to the work of America’s greatest poet. Dr. Newman has *made a special study of the New England char- ter, and, having grown up in that land, will be able to present a comprehensive and accurate picture of the people who have made such an impress on our national life.

At a largely attended and harmonious meeting of the congregation of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, held last evening, it was unanimously decided to sell the Present property and remove to a more eligible location.

One of the most pleasant of the many delightful social events held at Gurley Presbyterian Church occurred last evening, the occasion being a reception tendered by the young men of the Society of Christian Endeavor to the young ladies. An excel- lent program was rendered, including se- lections by the Carroll Institute Orchestra, vocal solos by Messrs. Leech ard O'Con- nor, a violin solu by Mr. Brock Amiss, recitations by. Mr. Frank S. Browne, and cornet solo by Mr. Edwin Tracy. The at- tractiveness of the room was increased by a setting of palms and a number of shaded lamps.

It Will Take Pince Next Sunday After- moon at Congregational Church. The joint committee organized for the celebration of the ninety-third anniver- sary of the birthday of Neal Dow of Maine has finally decided to have a public meet- ing in First Congrcgational Church the afternoon of Sunday, March 21, at 3 o'clock. instead of the banquet the evening of Sat- day, March 20, previously announced. A public meeting was the original idea and desire of the committee, bu: it was found that the Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union had already arranged for a public meeting in its individual inierest the afternoon of Sunday, March 21, with an address by Mr. Wooley, and that this ad- dress would probably have as its subject, “Neal Dow; His Life Work.” Under these circumstances a banquct ihe evening of the birthday. was substituted, with the ex- pectation that Senator Frye of Maine and Secretary of the Navy Long, as president of the Massachusetts Total Abstinence So- ciety, and a co-worker of General Dow, would probably attend as speakers. It was afterward ascertained that both Sec- retary Long and Senator Frye would have to be excused from the banquet, and fur- thermore, that Mr. Wooley would not be able to deliver hls address here until Sun- Gay, March 28. leaving Sunday, March 21, open except that the W. C. T. U. had again pre-empted it for # meeting ai Mount Vernon Place Methodist Church. The proposed meeting at Mount Vernon Place Church has now been abandoned In favor of the Neal Dow meeting at First Congregational. Church, and arrangements are being perfected for a gran‘ rally of the admirers of Neal Dow and these who are Inierested with him in the temperance reform at the Neai Dow meeting, under the auspices of the joint committee. Of the speakers who were expected to de- liver adaresses at the W. €. T. U. meeting Mrs. Margaret Dye Ejilis and Bishop Gal- loway cf the Methodist Episcopal Church South are on the program, and it is ex- pected that Commissioner Truesdell, ex- Governor Sidney Perham of Maine and perhaps others will deliver the addresses, interspersed with some cf the music which had been prepared for the banquet. The joint committee has been enlarged by a committee from the grand division of the Sons of Temperance, consisting of J. W. Van Vieck, G.W.P.; Mrs. S. C. Ellis, P.W.P., and Mr. W. R. Hopkins. The other organizations represented in the commitiee are the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Independent Order of Good ‘Templars, Independent Order of Rechabites, Christian Endeavor © Union, Washington District Epworth League and Sons and Daughters of Maine.

Prather tasSeree Several Hours The Long Legal Hight and the Vic- tory for the government— The Other Cages. —_. After a legal fightsof nearly one year from the date of his conviction, April 16, 1896, Wilkes C. Prather was today sent to jail to serve the term of three hours’ im- prisonment to which he was sentenced last sprirg by Judge Cole for violating the oleo- margarine laws. Prather was at the same time sentenced by Judge Cole to pay a fine of $50 and $39.25 costs. Prather was one of the more than two score dealers indicted the latter part of i895 and early in 1896 for violating the oleomargarine laws, the charge against him being that of sciling the stuff as and for butter withcut labeling it. He was prosecuted by Mr. A. A, Birney, then dis- trict attorney, the present district attorney, Mr. Henry E. Davis, being one of his coun. sel. Upon his conviction the case was car- ried to the Court of Appeals, where the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. From there the case went to the United States Supreme Court, where the man’s conviction and the validity of the oleo- margarine laws were finally sustained the latter part of last month. The mandate of the United States Su- preme Court in the case having becn sent down to the Court of Appeals a few days ago, the mandate of the latter court was Prepared, and today it was presented by Assistant District Attorney Laskey to Chief Justice Bingham in Criminal Court No. 1. Prather being in court Mr. Laskey re- quested the chief justice to order his com- mitment to jail to serve three hours’ Im- prisonment, and then be imprisoned until he pays the amount of the fine and costs, $89.25. Chief Justice Bingham so ordered, and Prather was placed in the custody of the marshal. Not having the funds at hand with which ‘to settle the fine and costs he was detained at the city hall while his friends started out to raise the required amount. They expect to be able to do so some time this afternoon, when Prather will be carried to juil to serve his three hours of imprisonment. But unless the fine and costs are paid today he will he imprisoned until they are. If he canrot pay them he can, however, after remaining in jail for thirty days, s mi under what is known u victs’ act 3 The mandate of the United States Su- preme Court in the es of Israel C. leck and Wm. 0.-Lusby, convicted la: April of violating the olzomargarine laws, is expected to be sent down ahout the 1 of April. Whea that is done they will be brought into the Criminal Court for the enforcement of ‘he sentences imposed upu them by Judge Cole.. They were each con- victed upon two indictments, the firs: charging them with selling the compos as and for butter, and the other with ing it without first having obtaine required special license. Under the fir indictment they were sentenced to thre hours in jail und to pay a fine of $100 and costs, and under the second to pay a fine of $100 and $25 costs. ‘Their conviction has also been affirmed by-the Court ef Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. They are now out om bail,-as was Prather, until today. Speaking to a Star reporter today, Dis- trict “Attorney “Davis said that when -he entered the office he severed all cormection with the oleomargarine cases as counsel for the defendants. As district attorney he has had nothing whatever to do with the cases, and will not, he explained, having placed his first assistant, Mr. Hugh T. Taggart, in complete ‘control and full charge. of them, with instructions to, proceed here- after as if he (Taggart) were district at- torney.
