Members of Inaugural Finance Com- mittee Present Mr. Thompson a Medal. What was probably the last meeting of the inaugural finance committee, the or- ganization which supplied the sinews of war, as it were, for the inaugural event, was held last evening, at the residence of the chairman, Mr. John W. Thompson. ‘The meeting was not called at the instance of the chairman, as usually is the case, but was the result of a desire on the part of the members to express their appre- ciation of the work of the chairman. As soon as the matter was broached of presenting the head of the committee with some testimonial, it met with the hearty approval of the members, and Mr. C. C. Duncanson proceeded to give material form to the regard and esteem in which the chairman was held. Mr. Duncanson se- lected a gold medal, made in exact repro- duction of the bronze medal that was at- tached to the badge of the finance commit- tee. The following inscription was placed upon it: “Presented to John W. Thompson, Chair- man of the Finance Committee of the In- augural Ceremonies, March 4, 1807, by As- soctate Members of Said Committee.” When the details of this plan had been perfected, Mr. Duncanson called upon Mr. ‘Thompsen and informed him of what had been done, and said it was the intention of the members of the committee to call upon him at his office, in the Metropolitan Bank, and make the presentation. Mr. Thomp”’ son said he would prefer to “meet his as- sociates at his own home, and Mr. Dun- canson at once sent out invitations, ask- ing the members of the committee to meet at the residence of Mr. Thompson last evening, and these responded: E. Southard Parker, vice chairman; Mr. J. E. Bates, secretary; Mr. George H. B. White, Mr. Thomas Brown, Mr. C. C. Duncanson, Mr. W. W. Burdette, Mr. M. G. Emery, Mr. A. M. Green, Mr. A. Greenlees, Major George H. Harries, Mr. James F. Hood, Mr. C. F. Norment, Mr. Isadore Saks, Mr. H. K. Simpson, Mr. Ross Thompson and Mr. A. S. Faber. Ee Regrets were received from Messrs. Jesse B. Wilson, E. J. Stellwagen, J. B. Taylor and George Henning. é When the committee met last evening Mr. Duncanson called upon Mr. E. South- ard Parker, the vice chairman of the com- mittee, who, in an exceedingly appropriate speech, presented the medal to Mr. Thomp- son, and the latter briefly responded. The company was then conducted to the dining room, where a handsome collation was served. 2 ———— CUBAN HOSPITAL FUND. Exhibitions of the Biograph to Be Given for Its Benefit. Mr. Jay F.

IN HONOR OF ITS GUESTS, Board of Trade W: American A meeting of the directors of the board of trade was held yesterday afternoen at the board of trade rcoms, 1410 G stroet ‘Those present were S. W. Woodward, A. T. Britton, F. L. Moore, R. Ross Perry, H. L. Biscoe, A. P. Fardon, T. A. Lamber: George H. Harries, Frank Hume, 1 Saks and W. S. Thompson. The purpose of the meeting was to re- ceive the report of the committee, consist- ing of S. W. Woodward, C. J. Bell and J. J. Edson, that was appointed to arrange a program for the entertainment of the party of merchants from South America expected to visit this city the Sth of next month. A congress of merchants, composed of fifty-seven representatives from the South American countries, 1s to be held in Phila- delpnix: next month, and the delegates will visit some of the principal cities of the country, Washington being included in the list. The purpose of the visit of the mer- chants to this country is to iuvestigate our resources and to make provision for en- larging business relations with the United States. ‘The committee reported a program as fol- lows: The delegates wMl arrive in this eliy June 8 at 9:30 o'clock in the morning ana leave for Philadelphia at 6 o'clock in the evening. The party will number about 100 and the board of trade will provide car- riages and show the visitors the principal Luildings and points of interest in the city. Luncheon will be served at the Arl gion, and later in the day President McKialey will give a short reception at the White House. ‘The board received a copy of a measure introduced in the Senate vy Senator Mc- Millan on March 19 as part of the de- ficiency bill, providing $6,720 for the main- tenance of the Free Public Library of the District of Columbia. It was referred by the Senate committee to the Commissioners of the District for a report, and the Com- missioners referred it to the board of trade, who put it in the hands of the committee on public library. A clause was inserted in the District appropriations bill of the Fifiy-fourth Congress providing $8,500 for the library, but after being sent to the Senate for amendment the appropriation was defeated in conference. The present appropriation, if passed, will provide a suf- ficient sum to enable th> library committee to provide much-needed improvements. —— Marriage Licenses.
