A meeting of the general committee ap- pointed to consider plans for the new Masonic temple was he!d last evening at the Arlington and was well attended, forty- four out of the forty-nine lodges and chap- ters in the Washington jurisdiction being represented. Mr. J. Henry Smail, jr., pre- sided. Articles of association were adopt- ed, and, when this action is ratified by the different bodies, there will be a permanent organization. The name adopted is the Masonic Temple Association, and its objects are to purchase a suitable site, the erection and mainte- nance of a temple commensurate with the needs of the grand and subordinate lodges of the jurisdiction of Washington and as representing the fraternity at large at the national capital. For the purpose of for- mation and temporary government the assuciation will be managed by the com- mittee on organization for one year. After the first year the association will be composed of one member, to be elected annually from each of the Masonic bodies in the jurisdiction which shail not hold less than $1,000 of stock. Tae capital stock was fixed at $150,000 in shares of $10, two-thirds of which must be owned by Masonic bodies published in the Grand Lodge calendar. ‘The officers will be a president, vice pres! Gent, secretary, treasurer and board of di- rectors. The title of all real estate will be vested in the names of three trustees, who will be elected by the board of directors. The report of the committee on ways and means, which was adopted, recommended that a site be selected containing an area of about 15,000 feet, with a view to the erection of a butiding suitable for the ac- commodation of the local fraternity, but capable of being enlarged to embrace or- ganizetions of a national character. Other icdges than those in this jurisdiction will be given an opportunity to make voluntary contributions. The report also favored the holding of a Masonic fair at some time to be hereafter fixed upon. After dizcussion, it was decided that a portion of the building should be devoted to business purposes. ————_—_ BROUGHT HOME, ‘The Body of Bertram Temple at His Mother's Residence. | The remains of Bertram Temple, the young actor, who died at the Royal. Vic- toria Hospital, Montreal, Canada, Tues- qay._ morning, after a short illness of pneu- monta, arrived in this city, his: former home, yesterday afternoon at 8:20, under the escort of his mother and Mr. Lawrence Walker of the Keene-Hanford company. Mrs. Temple and Mr. Walker reached Montreal Sat evening last and were at the bedside of young men from that time until his se Painters’ Assembly, 1798, The Boycott Placed Upon Capt. E. 8. Randall Denounced—Address to the Public is Ivsued. A meeting of the joint committ2es of the Building Trades Council and Local Union No. 170, Brotherhood of Painters and Deco- rators of America, was held last evening at Electrical Workers’ Hall, No. 628 Louisi- ana avenue, to consider the present status of the trade troubles be-ween Lo:al Union No. 170 and Painters’ Assembly, No. 1798, K. of L., growing out of the performance of certain work for Capt. E. 8. ‘tandall. After a session which lasted for several hours, the following address to the public wes adcpted by a unanimous vo.e: The Address. “Painters’ Assembly 1798. K. of L., has published and circulated statenemis rela- tive to the starding of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators, Loval Union, No. 170, and has asserted that this is not @ bona fide organization and the member- ship should not be recognized as union men... if “In their efforts to injure our organiza- tion, they nave resorted to very question- able means, among which is the publica- tion and circulation of a letter over the signature of Mr. E. L. Jordan, secretary of the Consumers’ .Brewery Company, which was written last December, when the members of Local Union No. 170 ap- plied for employment at the brewery then being constructed by the company, and. which contained data which was obtained by questionable means from a very unre- Mable souree. “At that time the conditions were en- trely different from those of the present, and the publication of the letter at this time for the purpose of ‘injuring the busi- ness of Capt. E. 8. Randall should be con- demned by every fair-minded citizen. Mr. Jordon’s Letter. “Mr. Jordan, when informed of the use to which his letter had been put, addressed another letter to Mr. Wm. Silver, president of the Building Trades Council. The letter was dated Washington, May 19, 1897, a copy of which is as follows: ‘In answer to your query of yesterday evening, to wit: Have you consented to the circulation by Local Assembly 1798, K. of L., of a letter bearing your name and being now used against Capt. E. 8. Randall, owner and proprietor of River View? I most positively and emphatically say I have never heen consulted, never have consented and ‘was absolutely ignorant of such le‘ter being used for such a purpose, until you calted my attention to the fact and handed me a copy of the same last evening. "The letter in question is an exact copy, with the exception of the date, which has been omitted, of a letter written by "ine December 10, 1896, after an investigation brought about on accovnt of L. A. i708 protesting against the employment by our company of members of the Brotheriood of Painters. The letter was written to cover the situation at that time, and pér- tained to a controversy then existing, (nd afterward amicably settled, to the satis- faction of all parties concerned, and in: no way can or should be made to apply to Mr. Randall, or any one else. L. A. 1798 was in no way justified in bringing our cim- pany into this business, which is entitciy foreign, und would allow the inference that we have gone far out of our way to stir up strife, when the opposite is our inten- tion.’ A Statement Denied. “Assembly 1798, in a circilar addressed ‘To the Friends of Organized Labor,” state that they ‘have considerable trouble with Capt. E. S. Randall, because he has de- cided to do away with union men employed on his boats, and replace them with ron- union men.’ : “This statement is absolutely false ind oes an injustice both to Mr. Randal) nd the members of Local Union, No, 170, of the Brotherhood of Painters ‘and Dect--a- tors. The facts relative to the matter ;ire 28 follows: “Mr. Randall employed members of 1% exciusively, on the painting of the steasser Pentz; on the painting of the steamer Rin- dall, the brotherhood made the equita‘le request of Mr. Randall that he emplo» a proportionate number of the brotherhéod with inembers of 1798. To this the ass:n- bly objected, and refused to work with members of the brotherhood, demandmg that they should be employed exclusive Mr. Randall insisted upon employing mén- bers of the brotherhood, and Assembly 1:08 summarily placed a boycott upon the boats under his management. 3S “Phe assertion that the members of the brotherhood are non-union men is as baSe- ly false es are the other statemente. Fhe fact is that the Brotherhood of Painters is a legitimate labor body, organized tn. der charter from the Brotherhood of Paiwt- ers and Decorators of America, a natioral organization, which was establishe 1887, with a membership of over 20,0,9, having locals ir every city of the United States, and which is allied with the Amor- ican Federation of Labor, which rep:e- sents over 800,000 of the union wage work erg of this country. “The refusal of members of Assemb: No. 1798, to work with members of the brotherhood, for Mr. Randall, is, to sy the least, very inconsistent, and disprovés their claim that it {s an organization thi't for justice and fair dealing has not equal in the city, when, in many instance’. they have worked with members of th brotherhood without complaint. This hat been done under the employment of Chris. tian Heurich, the Washington Brewint Company, the Consumers’ Brewery, H. J. Markward, the United States Interior De partment, J. B. Henderson and other firm: The Brotherhood’s Position. “The members of the brotherhood, actu: ated by the principles of trade unionism. have never asked that the members ot the assembly be discriminated againet, anit have always been willing to give thent every opportunity to support themselves and families and have been willing to maintain friendly and helpful relations with them. : “Assembly. 1798. has also issued an ap- peal to all merchants, farmers and mem. bers of the Farmers’ Alliance, living along the lower river landings, to ‘refuse to transport their goods to the steamer Har- ry Randall, and patronize the steamer Wakefield or Arrowsmith.’ It is to be ex- plaired why these people should divert their trade because 1798 has assumed an attitude which is without excuse, and which should be condemned by every in- dividual who favors manly, honest meth- ods. “It will be observed that the union label is attached to this statement. (This refers to the cireular of which the above is a copy.) It is, however, conspicuous .by its aksence from the literature published and circulated by the alleged ‘union’ organiza- ticn, Painters’ Assembly, 1798."” The address was signed by J. P. Healy, . J. Crowley and J. B. Galliford, repre- senting the Building Trades Council; J. H. Hobscn. David Patton, T.-H. Beane and W. F. Hunt, committee on the part of Local Union, No. 170, Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators. —_—__.

Heiase, pastor, cor- ner of Sth and F- streets northwest, in the Presence of @ large audience... Rev. Dr. Ames, president of the school, was in charge. On the pu'pit platform were the teachers of the school and the members of the grad- uating class. The latter were: The Misses Annie R. Bassett of Hardinsburg,. Ky.; Georgiana Clark, Newark, N. J.; Mary Clemson of Halifax, Pa.; Mary Crawford of New Sharon, Iowa; Irene Cummings of Ligonier, Ind.; Harriet F..Ganiere of Ash- land, Ore.; Ora Silvey of Hutchinson, Kan., and Margaret S. Wilson of Delaware, Ohio. ~The Juniors. Within the chancel rail were seated the members of the junior class of the school, as follows: The Misses Emma Bartholo- mew, Charlotte E. Carpenter, Rose Cloud, Minnie Cole, Dorothy M: Erdman, Sadie E. George, Edith 8. Gregory, Eva E. Hicks, Emma Jones, Albertina Kullenberg, Helen M. Newell, Emma V.“Newnom, Harriet Raymond, Matikia ;Reeves, Belle D. -Wal- lace, Rosina E. West,’Sarah E. Wetherbee, Laura EB. Wethey and Alice 8. Willard. After prayer by Rev. Dr H. R. Naylor and singing of. the hymn, “Seon May the Last Glad Song Arise,” President Ames made some remarks, in-the course of which he sald that the year just closed was the most satisfactory in the history of the institution, in the number of students, in their dillgence and assiduity,-in the variety and comprehensiveness of the courses of study, in the general thoroughness of in- struction given by the faculty, in the con- cord and harmony among. all _ interested and in the-results accomplished, both inside and outside the lecture room. s There were, he‘said, forty pupils, thirty- one of whom were boarders-in the school, and the building had been taxed to its ut- most capacity. In addition,. instruction in special Hines had been given to those who desired to serve the church in some par- ticular capacity. ‘The pupils made 7,800 visits in the prosecution of religious work, and there were also a total of 20,000 hours spent in study. They also gathered 331 children into the various Sunday schools of the city. Compliments the Class. Dr. Ames closed his address with a feel- ing allusioa to the members of the grad- uating class, no one of whom had, he said, given the faculty a pang, and he parted with them with the greatest regret. He predicted that the junior class, which now became the senior, would reach the same high standard attained by those just grad- uated, although the studies next year would be much harder than heretofore. An essay on “Hymnology” was read by Miss Harriet F. Ganiere, and the hymn “U! Lord, Be Merciful” was sung by a quartet, composed of members of the graduating class. After the “readingsby Miss Mary Craw- ford of an essay: om the theme “Woman and Her Work imthe Nineteenth Century” Rev. Dr. S. L. Befiet;vice chancellor of the American University, made an address to the graduates. Dr. Beiler said -the.evidence of the work of the graduatigg lass, as demonstrated on this occasiony was a proof that the church was getting back to the purity which it enjoyed lat the time it was founded, in the sfirst century. When our Lord was on ‘eatth: He performed deeds which touched: the goor and the destitute. It was but nateraliHe should gather the women about Him.:Woman was,-.he said, coming to''the>cross of: the Lord Jesus Christ, and would:cagry the Gospel out into the world. The'swonkd: was waking up to the. faet thab-cwoman: wass! peetliarly adapted for churchywork. -If the world is to be reached and \won to‘Christ it would not be by legical atgumient, but by the workers who axe will#ig to go down into the homes of the-pcor and the lowly, and this is to a large-extent ‘the mission of wo- men. He was glad, he said, that a move- ment had been started to send out trained hearts for the performance of such work. Dr. Beatler’s Advice. He told the members of the class that when they got out into the field of work they would nced a great deal of grace and courage, especially when they went into the homes of the sick and the dying. There would also be some discouragements. There would be many joys, for there was nothing so joyful as winning hearts to Christ, but there would be many whose hearts would be hard to.influence. He urged them to re- member that Christ when on earth always looked after the bodies of: the sick and afflicted, as well as their souls, and said that they ought to follow the example of: the Master. The class song, “The Voice of Jesus,” composed by Miss Irene Cummings, was sung by the graduates and members of the junior class. The diplomas were oonferred by Dr. Ames. a THE PYTHIAN TEMPLE. Members of the Order Planning for Its Erection. The Pythian committee of forty-five made a grand official visitation to Myrtle Lodge, No. 25, Tuesday night, to discuss the subject of raising funds to build the grand memorial temple which it is pro- posed to erect in this-city in honor of Jus- tus H. Rathbone, the founder of the order. The meeting was. opened by the chancellor commander, H. E. Smith, who stated the objects in view, and called Brother Henry Marks, prelate of Myrtle Lodge, to invoke the divine aid. John A. Frank, the chairman of the com- mittee of forty-five, was then duly installed in charge of the meeting. He spoke first of the temple, and then announced the ex- cursion which is to be given on the 16th of June of this year. He called on Edward G. Niles, the chairman of the committee of Ways and means. who will have charge of the building of the temple. Mr. Niles went into a discussion of the plan ef reaching the entire membership of the Knights of Pythias. He said that al- ready several thousand dollars had come in as general contributions, and that let- ters were constantly being received by his committee from all parts of the United States. asking that the petition be sent. to them at as early a date as possible. The Pythian temple im this city, he said, should be erected to menpetuate the order of Knights of Pythias, which was founded here. It should ~e @ monument to forever mark its birthplaces#He closed his -emarks: by asking all too cogtribute, to give their mite toward meking the Utopia of the Pythian world agmplete. . Mr. Frank then <éntroduced Dr. D. D. Carter, who. spaise of-his visits in the sur- rounding country, amd everywhere it was said the time was aipe for. the building of the temple. Mrs'Carter was followed by Mr. Kelley, whe spoke encouragingly of the movement, amd @aid he had just arrived from the west, ain@i'that the enormity of the Sone patie oaeck ‘would be received z AMUSEMENTS, MISS HOWE AS MICHAELA.—An inter- ; esting deviation was made in the perform- ance of “Carmen” by the Castle Square Opera Company at the Lafayette Square Theater last night. The part of Michaela was sung by Miss Mary Helen Howe, and in a manner which earned her enthusiastic commendation. This was her second ap- pearance in this city in a prima donna role, and she justified the favorable predictions which were made when she was heard some months ago as Arline in the “Bohemian Girl.” The task of performing a role like Michaela for the first time is no inconsid- erable one, and Miss Howe acquitted her- self in a manner which proves that she has self-possession and adaptability, as well as musical talent. She was received with hearty appreciation by the audience, her solo in the third act being sung in such a Way as to elicit especial applause. The studious sincerity displayed by Miss Howe in all that she has done is a gratifying as- surance that she possesses the ability and willingness for earnest and sustained effort, without which the true artist cannot exist. THE BIOGRAPH.—Next week will be the last of the Biograph in Washington, the season of this most remarkable entertain- ment to close on Sunday evening, May 30, after a most successful run of over seven months, having broken all records in the amusement line in the nation’s capital, The program now on exhibition is, perhaps, the most attractive one that has been pre- sented, though all have been ofa very high standard. The great cavalry yiews, the newest feature of the entertainment, are indeed marvels, and so full of realism are they that it is almost impossiblé to believe you are not seeing the movement of the men and horses on the drill grounds. The superb cavalry charge, representing the soldiers going directly into battle, is one of the most thrilling views ever presented. All the popular views will be retained dur- ing the few days more of the Blograph, and new ones will, of course, be added. Those who have not seen the Blograph during its long run should not miss the opportunity of seeing it before its season closes. It has amused, entertained and instructed thou- sands and thousands of people, and many have been pleased to witness the entertain- ment more than once. A week from next Sunday evening will be the last perform- ance. The exhibitions will continue as usual at 2:30, 4:30 and 8:15 p.m. Sundays 8:15 only. MR. WHITE'S LECTURE.—A most inter- esting illustrated lecture was given last evening by Mr. George W. White, under the auspices of St. Paul's Union at St. Paul's Parish Hall, corner 15th and V streets. Mr. White took for his subject “Acadia, the Land of Evangeline.” The views were taken by Mr. White himself, and many of the colored ones were verita- ble works of art. The lecturer was in ex- cellent voice, and his descriptive text was vigorous and intersely interesting, moving frequently as he did from deep pathos to delightful humor.

Hoadley and Chas. C. Beaman, praying that a fund of $21,000, invested in certain railroad stocks, be delivered over to her by the defendants, the trustees of the fund. Upon the death of her father the sum of $21,000 was subscribed for the benefit of his widow, Amelia C. Waite, and her family. Mrs. Waite died, leaving a will appointing Miss Waite as her executrix, and giving her the said fund so lonz as she remained unmarried. Miss Waite has not married and contends that the money should be delivered over to her. This the trustees of the fund decline to do, unless required so to do by the court. Hence, the suit. Miss Waite is represented by Attor- neys Phillips and McKenney. a Marine Band Concert.
