The pupils of the Payne School, their pa- rents and a large number of their friends assembled yesterday afternoon in the audi: tortum of the High School on M street near New Jersey avenue northwest, to take part in the exercises attendant upon the pre- sentation of a large portrait of Bishop Daniel A, Payne, in whose honor thé school is named. The audience comprised many of the most prominent colored people in Washington, and various addresses and other features of the program were en- joyed to the full extent. Superintendent G. F. D. Cook presided, and on the stage were Bishop H. A. Handy, Bishop B. W. Arnett, School Trustees B. K. Bruce, L. A. Cornish and Dr. F. G. Shadd, Supervising Principal E. W. Brown, Principal M. Grant Lucas and others. After prayer by the Rev. F. J. Grimke the pupils of the High School sang a chorus, after which an original song, written for the occasion by Prof. Coppins, was rendered by a quartet. Bishop Arnett’s Words. Bishop B. W. Arnett made the presenta- tion address. It was an eloquent effort. After speaking of the significance of the event and paying pleasant compliments to the trustees of the school, he said that the schoolmaster’s desk has been made an al- tar of hope and inspiration, on which the fires of patriotism and religion burn side by side. “With the Bible on every teacher's desk,” said Bishop Arnett, “and the flag of our country floating from every gable, our common school becomes more and more the bulwark of our nation.” in behalf of the bishops, officers, elders, ministers and the million and a half mem- bers of the A. M. E. Church, he thanked the public school authorities of Washing- ton for naming one of their buildings after one of the most illustrious bishops of the A. M. E. Church, who was the apostle of an educated ministry and the founder of Wilberforce University. He contrasted the school conditions in this city thirty-two years ago with the gonditions of today, and said the result gave him a greater hope for the possibilities of his people, and a greater appreciation of the opportunities afforded colored children to qualify them- selves for useful and good citizenship. Early Colored Educators. Bishop Arnett gave an interesting glimpse of the history of colored education in Washington. The first colored teacher, he said, was John Adam, who was principal of what was known as the Costin School, which was supported by the free colored people in 1818. Anna Maria Hall was the first colored teacher. She taught in the A. M. E. Church, on Capitol Hill) Miss Mary Billings opened the first colored school in Georgetown in 1810. taught school in 182 and in 1843 John F the school in Washington, which was af- terward taken up by his son, and continued until 1867. He gave other interesting sta- tistics of the school, and then proceeded to relate the life history of Bishop Payne, closing with the quotations of the remarks of Frederick Douglass at the memorial ser- vices of the-bishop after the latter's death. Trustee Cornish Accepts. At the conclusion of Bishop Arnett’s re- marks the pupils of the Payne School ren- dered a song,written for the occasion by S. G. Brown. Then Trustee L. A. Cornish ac- cepted the portrait of Bishop Payne in be- half of the District of Columbia. Mr. Cor- nish said the quality of the commissioners and trustees in naming the public schools in the capital of the nation was to make a historical entry upon the records of the state in honor of worthy and distinguished citizens and great public benefactors. The selection of a name for a public school a most important duty, because a public school is considered in the highest sense a Living monument to him and those in honor of his name. In conclusion he paid a high tribute to the characteristics of Bishop Payne, saying that the portrait must ever be an inspiration to pure living and indus- trious habits with the teachers and pupils. | A Tribute From the Teachers. Mr. M. Grant Lucas on behalf of the teaciers of the Payne Schook presented to Bishop Arnett a beautiful tribute in the shape of an immense bouquet of red and white roses, tied with blue ribbon, this blending of the national colors being much appreciated. Mr. Lucas said that no great- er encouragement could be afforded to the teachers of Payne School, no greater in- spiration could be extended to the pupils, and the boys could not be given a more impressive object lesson, industry and vir- tue than the study of the story of the life of the exhalted character they have of Bishop Payne. The name would lend honor and dignity to the school. Mr. Joseph H. Douglass played a selection on the violin, and after remarks by Bishop W. B. Der- rick and Rev. W. M. Moore the exercises were closed by a chorus from the High 1 pupils. —_~———— HAD TO SPEAK IN FRENCH. Unusual Demand Made of Ambassador Porter at Paris. President Faure formally received the new United States ambassador, Gen. Hor- ace Porter, at Paris yesterday. Shortly before 5 o'clock a squadron of cuirassicrs, with three carriages, one of them containing M. Crozier, the director of the protocol. and M. Mollard, the in- troducer of ambassadors, drove up to the house on the Rue de Madrid, where Gen. Porter is residing, as the guest of Gen. Winslow, to escort the United States am- bassador to the Elysee Palace. On arriv- Ine the municipal band played the “Mar- sellaise,” and the guard on duty presented arms. Gen. Porter alighted at the entrance and was conducted by M. Crozier to th introduced to President Faure and pre- sented his credentials. An unprecedented incident occurred at the presentation. The ambassador wanted to deliver his speech at the Elysee Palace ambassador, Mr. James B. Eustis, done, but the director of the protocol in- sisted that he must speak in French, and Gen. Porter was obliged to submit. though on some previous occasions United States ministers have spoken in French, this is the first time the point has been raised and formally maintained by the presidency.

The first vote of the Senate on any fea- ture of the tariff bill was taken yesterday, after The Star's report closed, on Mr. Vest’s proposed amendment to change the rate of duty on borax. The finance com- mittee was sustained by a vote of 34 to 20, the amendment failing. The vote in detail was: Yeas—Berry, Caffery, Chilton, Clay, Cock- rell, Gorman, Gray, Jones, Kenney, Lind- say, Morgan, Murphy, Pasco, Rawlins, Roach, Smith, Turpie, Vest, Walthall, democrats; Heitfeld, populist—total, 20.

All the republicans voted or were paired againet the Vest amendment, so that they Presented # solid front. Two democrats, McEnery of Louisiana and White of Cali- fornia, voted with the republicans. All other democrats voted or were paired for the Vest amendment. Heitfeld, populist, voted with the democrats; Butler and Turner, populists, were paired with repub- Icans; ‘Stewart, populist, voted with the republicans, as did Jones of Nevada and Cannon, silver republican. Pettigrew, sil- ver republican, though present, did rot vote. - Teller, silver republican, was absent and ‘not paired. Kyle, independent popu- list, was absent and unpaired. Hale, re- publican, and Faulkner, democrat, were absent and no pairs announced for them. The committee provision fixing the rate on boracic acid at five cents per pound was then agreed to. When the next item, alcoholic perfum- ery, cologne, etc., was reached, Mr. Vest moved to restore the old rates of $2 per gallon and.50 per cent ad valorem. He said the rate in the bill of 60 cents per pound and 45 per cent ad valorem was “protection run mad,” as it was equiva- lent to about $5 per gallon on goods worth about $1.40. The amendment was defeated without division. Mr. Gray (Del.) resisted the committee amendment on bleaching powder or chloride of lime, at one-fourth of one cent per pound. He said the article was an essen- tial raw material in pulp and paper mak- ing, and the industry would b= injured if it could not get the article free of duty. After some discussion the raragrapn went over. At 5 o'clock the tariff bill was laid aside, paragraph §, page 3, having been reached. An agreement was reached that a vote be taken on the conference zeport on the sundry cftil bill at 2 o'clock today. At 5:32 p.m: the Senate held an execu- tive session and afterward adjourned. fg aa NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. Desoription of Sligo Glen, Sévew Miles From An Electric Railway Néw Being Con- structed to Carry thd Crowds From Washington. Albert Gleason & Co. of this-city and T. William Harris of New-York, the contrac- tors, have begun the censtfuetion of the Baltimore and Washingtewt ‘Pansit Com- pany’s branch railway, known en the Sligo Glen and Labyrinth Pat® ‘retiway. The Transit Railway Compans, it will be re- membered, was chartered ly in 1896 by the Maryland legislature, an@ was author- ized by Congress in June 1896, to enter the District and connect with ‘the Brightwood electric railway at Takoma. Park. While the Transit company’s charter in Mary- land gives it an extensive franchise throughout the state, including the right to connect Washington and Baltimore by way of Sandy Springs and Ellicott City, Md., nothing will be done in that direction at present. The contracts, which have been let, embrace a line of from Takoma Park to Carroll's old- mii, on the Sngo creek, and to Labyrinth Park, on the north- west branch of the Potomac at Burnt Mills, Md., about nine miles from this city. The necessity for a nearby pleasure re- sort which can be quickly: reached has been recognized by the company. In other cities during the summer season, and nota- bly in Baltimore and Philadelphia, the residents havé long enjoyed the exTensions cffered by the city electric Jines to make excursions out in the open comntry to pleas- ure resorts established at the termini of the railways and enjoy themtselves to their hearts’ content with music, Vaudeville per- formances, dancing and other diversions ard recreations. In this respect Washing- ton has lagged behind somewhat. Some of the Attractions, The promoters of the Haltimore and Transit Railway Company have decided to utilize the advantages at Sligo Glen, which is just seven miles from the city, for a comfort and pleasure resort, | Land has been secured by a park com- pany for this purpose, which will in the future construct a pleasure ground, in- cluding a lake about a mile long, with boating privileges, with dan¢ing pavilions, a casino where vaudeville performances will be given, toboggan slides, pony rid- ing, merry-go-round, «and all the accom- paniments of a resort which {t is intended to make popular with both the old and young. In the vicinity there is a cave, which will be opened. It covers many acres. During the late war it was a place of refuge for bounty jumpers and deserters, and many relies of interesting character have been found in it.. Thescave will be lighted with electric lights, so that even the most timid may explore its recesses. Great attention will be paid to the accom- modation of societies, Sunday schools and churches, and family parties who desire to picnic during the day, and for this purpose Favorable Action Taken by the Sen- ate Yesterday Afternoon. The Senate yesterday confirmed the fo!- lowing nominations: E. H. Smock, to be receiver of public moneys at Buffalo, Wyo.; F. D. Healy of Beaver, O. T., to be register of the land office at Beaver, O. T.; F. A. Tritle, jr., to be register of the land office at Prescott, numbers of small pavilions will be erected Ariz.; A. P. Greeley of Concord, N. H., | along both sides of the glen. ,The park will now an examiner-in-chief in the patent | also contain a cycle track, fase ball, golf office, to be assistant commissioner of and croquet grounds and, Jawn tennis courts, and will be connected with the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com- pany, as well as the Western Union Tele- graph Company. For the accommodation of bicyclists, the company proposes-to es- tablish a station near 7th ‘and U streets northwest, where bicycleg.ean be checked to and from the park, as baggage, in cars specially designed for that purpose. Sligo Glen Park will be situated on both sides of the Sligo creek, and, the railway company will run its cars direct thereto after June 30, 1807. The raijway will be completed to Burnt Mills, where Labyrinth Park will be situated, early jn the spring of 1898. iM When the Sligo Glen ‘railway and park are completed, in a few weeks, it is expected that ticket arrangements will be effected with all the city railway,lfes whereby a passenger will be able tq travel over either of the city lines termipating at 7th street and.Boundary. to or ftom any part of the city, and Sligo Glen Park, for ten cents, the rate to»-tpelude fares on the Brightwood -electric and. §Mgo Glen rail- ways. e i? patents; T.

They Want a Reduction of Duties in the Tarif! Bill. A large delegation representing the to- bacco interests of the United tSates were at: the Capitol yesterday and conferred with senators and representatives from tobacco- producing states.

About One-Half of the Appropriation Remains Unexpended. So well has the distribution of the relicf to the flood sufferers in the Mississippi and Red river valleys been administered that of the total appropriation of $200,000 about one-half now remains unexpended, al- though the fleld has been fully covered. Secretary Alger attributes this economy to the excellent work of the officers of the department, who gave their personal atten- tion to the relief work.

Those who participated in the drill were Misses Fox, Grandin, Mc- Cain, Eberly, Ashburn, Rankin, Collier, Haddaway, Mergy, Davis, Clark and Sher- iff.

During the course of his remarks Dr. Tal- mage advised the young ladies to map out their future, looking to the Divine Provi- dence for assistance, and not to waste time human advice. He told them to do their work and it would be done well, but, once neglected, it would be neglected for- ever. “The world will expect a great deal of you,” he said to them, “‘and remember that your. nioess: SAR ng be filled by others.” ‘The secret of life is the making of others happy, and the young woman who goes out in life with the grace of God in her heart belongs to the 's Daughters, whether she is a member of that organization cr no’ “Decide that you will be God’s women, and your careers will be grand and glor- fous,” said the minister, “but you must draw your plan of life now, and faflure will only be achieved by failing to draw this plan.” In conclusion he told the graduates that their diplomas were not only scrolls, not only pieces of paper, but they carried with them the last wishes and prayers of the in- stitution which they had honored. ——— TO CHRISTIANITY. One Cheering Circum: ce Noted by the Head of a Department. One ‘of tke most trying duties of every bead of a government department or bu- reau here is to inform the hundreds of ladies in distressing circumstances, who seek employment, that there is no way to comply with their wishes. Every visitor Pictures her needs as exceedingly great, and usually they all have strong indorse- ments. “There is one thing I can say about the ladies who come to me applying for gov- ernment position,” said Commissioner of Patents Butterworth today. “When I ask them if they wish me to turn out clerks fcom this bureau to suffer in order to give them places they repiy they do not want me to do that. I have met but one excep- tion to this rule. That was a lady who said she thought they ought to be turned out to starve if they wgre democrats. Eut all the others applying for places, how- ever great they picture their own neeis, show no inclination to-profit-by causing others to suffer: ¥ am afraid I cannot say the same thing of the men who come to get places for themselves or others.

The commissioner of internal revenue has issued regulations for the bottling of dis- tilled spirits in bond, in accordance with the act approved March 3, 1897, and the law will be put into effect as soon as the necessary stamps shall have been received from the bureau of engraving and printing. Requisition has teen made for a million package and strip stamps, and it is ex- pected that the proceeds of their sale will just about equal the expense of the en- forcement of the law. Under the regula- tions any distiller authorized by the act of March 3 to bottle distilled spirits of his own production is required to set apart a portion of his existing warehouse for this purpose and shall separate it from the re- mainder of the warehouse. The bottling portion of the warehouse will be under the control of the collector of internal revenue for the district and in joint custody of the storekeeper or storekeeper and gauger and of the distiller. The entire operation of bottling the spirits, Pa casing, stamping, &c., must be conducted under the super- vision of the storekeeper. The Circus Owners Responsible. Within a few days the Commissioners will add a new section to the police regu- laticns, which will compel the owners of a circus visiting the city to see to it that the streets traversed by them are left clean. This regulation wi made neces- sary by reason of the bad condition the streets of the city were left in after the departure of the last aggregation. —_———__ DUI Greek Ministers Make an Explana- tion as to Greece’s Defeat. The Evening World prints a cable dis- Patch from its correspondent at Athens giving signed statements by members of the Greek ministry regarding the failure of the war against the Turks. That from Prime Minister Ralli says: “Greece should not be censured for the inactivity of the navy, nor should the great powers be blamed. They did not 1e- strain cur ships, Christianity did. “Had we bombarded the seaports of Tur- key and the Aegean Islands the Turks would have massacred the Christians as they did the Armenians. Could we have used the navy the result of the war would have been different. The powers knew our peverty. I do not fear an unjust decision.” M. Skouloudis, minister of foreign affairs, writes: ‘Greece had no national grievance against Turkey, and without any blunder- ing interference the Cretan affair could have been quietly settled by the two inter- ested parties. “But Europe gave the patriotic society a chance to agitate and forced unprepared Greece into a disastrous war. The former ministry weakly opposed the course, but had not the courage to resign. — ‘TO MAKE BEET SUGAR.

[DR MARY WALKER'S TRIALS She Defends Herself in a Lawsuit With Her Hired Man. The Fearless Doctor Shows How She Let the Man Wear Her Own Shirts. Dr. Mary Walker, long a resident of Washington, and recently a visitor here for several months, returned to her home, near Oswego, N. Y., a few weeks ago, on the way securing a man and his wife to act as farmer and housekeeper for her. The two became dissatistied and a lawsuit resulted. The man, named Dugdale, inted money enough to take him and his wife back Lo Springtield. When the case came up Monday Dr. Walker acted as her own attorney. “I have my amended, versified answer all ready,” said she in Justice Harman's court when the case of Charies Dugdale against Dr. Mary Walker was called. She reached in her hip pocket and pulled out a heavy roll of blanket ballots, the reverse sides of bina were covered with lead pencil serib- ll, let's have it,” said Justice Har- man, us he settled back in a chair. The doctor hitched up her left trouser, pulled down her vest, and began: “The al- legations of the allegator are false in nearly every particular.” Then she told about the circumstances of hiring Mr. and Mrs. Dugdale io do her farm work. Said she: “Mrs. Dugdale was told by me that if she chose to ao my work in the house with her own work, 1 would not then be both- ered with a housekeeper in the kitchen, and that a lot of canned truit, dried fruit and the green appies could be ‘used freely, as they would last unul fruit came again. To this Mrs. Dugdale assented. 1 also Promised to supply the house with tea and coffee for a year, and informed them that they could have the reading of the New York Tri-Weekiy World. Both parties were satistied, aud paid a dollar to the employment agency at Springfield, where the bargain was made. Mrs. Dug- dale stayed with me without expense to herself at Springtield u i both of us left for Oswego. I even paid her street car fare and the carriage tare from Oswego to Bunker Hill farm, where we arrived Sat- urday evening, May 1. “1 provided bountiful tune! to Oswego. Mrs. Dugdale on the trip assumed the housekeeping at once. She was shown where the flour, cornmeal, buckwheat, soda, spices, chocolate, tea, coffee, suj raisins, cur nuts, pop canned salmon, megs and dri told to put all at every meal, so there would be nothing left ta spoil. She was directed to have some canneu fruit or preserves on the table at every meal, n when she had baked apples and apple sauce. 1 brought large packages of different kinds of cake and crackers from Springiieid, Mass.,where we selected all that we could pack in a large satchel. “The first time I went to the city I bought fresh meat and hcne timothy and clever secd to sow witir eats that we had on hand aud several pounds of cheese, al- though there se home.’ We picked cowslips the and dug horseradish. “On Monday following our ar- rival, Mr. Dugdale and dog arrived after dark so sick that he had to go to bed. He had taken a severe cold, which resulted In dvuble pneumonia. With my energetic treatment asd his wife for a nurse and an extra fire for him, the long and lingering effects that so frequently follow were ab- sent in his case. In ten day: ard it came to pass that elev ays aft his arrival we went to Oswego to make a written contract. His wife did not accom- pany us, fer she had a large wash clothes that had come in a box that Mr. Dugdale sent, and which I, without such expectation, paid to have bro station.

We started for the city with the express pur- pose of having a written contract. Whe we reached the hill west of the city, Mr. Dugdale handed me the lines and’ said that be would walk up the hill. The stage passed directly after and he boarded it. When I reached the c yae able hand- ed me a summons from Justice Harman's ecurt. I had in my hand a "kage of seeds, a peund of te and coffee, catmeal and chees tricks at my hous: . Dug- dale returned that night and stayed all the rext day, but he did not speak to me. I wrete a paper for him to sign that he would withdraw the suit and go on with his work. “I also wrote an order for some fertilizer with instructions te deliver it the do befcre. Mr. Dugdale sent word by his wife that he would not sign any paper. When I asked him what there was in the agree- ment that 1 had not more than lived up to. he answered that I would find out when we went to court.

ANNOUNCE THEIR CANDIDACIES. hio Democrats Out for and Hanna’s Shoes. Ex-Congressman P. J. Sorg and Congress- man J. J. Lentz have recently announced their candidacies for the democratic noml- nation for governor of Ohio. John R. McLean, in an interview, an- nounces his candidacy for senator to suc- ceed Mark A. Hanna, in the event of the next Ohio legislature having a democratic majority. Mr. McLean states that he will not attend the state convention at Colum- bus next month, but he expects the plat- ;form to be in accord with Chicago declara- tions and the financial question to be more of an issue in the canvass than it was last year. This is regarded as significant, as it is un- derstood that Mr. Bryan has promised Mc- Lean to stump the state this year. Mr. Mc- Lean does. not favor indorsement by the state convention of any one senator, and thinks no such action will be taken or at- tempted. Mr. McLean will leave for Cin- cinnati June 1 and remain there till after the election. ¢ ——-+e+-_____ A Portrait of Ex-Seeretary Lamont.
