Prof. Fanciulli celebrated the two most important events in his existence Saturday night by a delightful-musicale at his hos- pitable residence, 625 A street northeast. The day was significant for having been the forty-fourth anniversary of the pro- fessor’s birth and ‘the fifteenth anniver- sary of his union to the charming Mrs. Fanciulli. The invitattons that were sent out for the occasion, however, did not in- dicate that it would be more than a Sat- urday evening musicale, but some of the pupils of Prof. Fanctulli became aware of the importance of the day, and during the evening presented, through Mr. Chas. H. Boynton, to Prof. Fanciulli a handsome cut-glass decanter and a set of cut-glass glasses. Prof. Fanciulli made a feeling re- sponse, at the conclusion of whicn . the guests drank the health of the professor and his wife. A charming musical program was rendered, which was as follows: Trio, “Veni Redemptor,” Fanctulli, Miss Margot Hanway, Mr. William McFarland, Mr. J. Nolan; song, “Love's Sorrow,” She ley, Miss Daisy Daggett; song, “Selected, Mr. James Nolan; romanza, “Mignon,” Thomas.

During the evening Chevallor Delmati, one of the Italian delegates to the universal postal congress, made an address in Italian to Prof. Fanciu!li, complimenting him on his ability and the high recognition he had received for it at the hands of the greatest of republics. Prof. Fanciulli was much af- fected by the tribute. At the conclusion of the musicale supper was enjoyed, and there was general regret that the charming evening came to a close so soon. Among the guests present were: Commendadare Chiarardia, first delegate from Italy to the postal congress; Signor Trentancve, the distinguished sculptor; Capt. Frank Harrington, commanding the Marine barracks; Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Roynton, Miss Boynton, Mr. and Mrs. B. M.

Nolan and “Gioconda,” —— SUES FOR DIVORCE. The Wife of a Preminent Liveryman Wants a Separation. Annie V. Geyer, through Attorney W. Preston Williamson, Saturday petitioned for legal separation from her husband, Wm. F. Geyer, charging him with commit- ting adultery with one Nellie Morris at 701 Rhode Island avenue and 61 H street northeast, between the 26th of October, 1895, and May 26, 1897. She prays that she be allowed $150 a month alimony and $100 as counsel fees. Mrs. Geyer also prays that her husband be enjoined from occupying any portion of her residence, 1347 L street, and that he be enjoined from selling or disposing of any of the property or business of his livery stable at 927 D street. She states that they were married in Maryland, near Har- per's Ferry, W. Va., Octover i, 1888, and she charges that she found her husband and the Morris woman in a compromising position the 26th of October, 1895, and last Wednesday. She forgave him, she de- clares, the first offense upon his promise of reformation. Mrs. Geyer also charges her husband, whose monthly income is, she says, about $1,000, with failing to properly provide for herself and their three children, who are dependent upon her, while he has, she as- serts, supported the Morris woman in ease and comfort. The petition of Mrs. Geyer was presented to Judge Hagner, who granted a temporary restraining order, returnable the 7th of next month. Fees comme PLEA FOR WOMAN'S INFLUE E. Dr. Pitzer'’s Speech at the Charlotte, N. C., Assembly, The presbytery of West Lexington, Ky., Dr. Pitzer of Washington, D. C., led in the opposition to such unscriptural despotism. He said the Bible nowhere authorizes the ordination of a woman ‘to the ministry of the Word or the ruling eldership in the church; therefore, any such ordination is improper, but outside from this limitation he considered there was a wide field for woman's work in the furtherance of the gospel. She could do, and did do, many hings in perfect accord with the sacred ptures in she extension of the church. He gave an incident of a woman speaking in his church—a returned missionary from China, a lovely Christian woman. She was i invited to speak in the church. He laid the matter before his session—judicious, pious men, and they saw no objection to her speaking. She made the talk. There was no impropriety in it, “and I do trust,” said the speaker, “that this assembly, having | appointed women to go to foreign lands | as missionaries, will not debar them, on their return, from being allowed to tell what they have seen and done. There is nothing in the word which allows a wo- man to be a minister or ruler. I do not see anything improper in a Christian wo- man saying what she has done. If a wo- man is strictly to be inhibited from speak- ing in the church, then she must not sing or teach in.the Sabbath school. We ought to be very careful not to do anything that is not in the word of God. “In defense of myself in this matter, I will say that because I live in Washington does not make me untrue to the principles of the cburch. I am not the man to lower the flag of the southern church before the enemy, no matter how great. I say it is not gracious and not pleasant for any one to say that because I live in Washington I am disloyal to my church. It is not pleasant nor kind. I say nothing more on this subje Instantly Dr. Smoot was on the floor. He apologized to Dr. Pitzer and to the as- sembly if he had said aught that was un- kind. Dr. Pitzer accepted the apology as gra- ciously as it was offered, and continued then to a discussion of the overture. He was not in faver of any course not laid down in God's word. That, he said, was his only guide, and by that should all things be measured. After an animated debate, the assembly refused to adopt the overture to “silence” the women, by a vote of 71 to 62. —- THE CLAIM NOT JUST. Answer of Ex-Senator Brice to Mra. Paxton’s Equity Bill. Answering the suit recently filed against him by Mrs. W. Paxton, to recover $428.50, cn account of needlework alleged to have been done by her on his wife's order, ex- work done in the departments, the District resident, Mrs. M. B. Platt, and District reasurer, Mrs. Theresa Williams, gave talks of interest. it was decided to place in the archives the history of the union, read by Mrs. Mer- rick at the tenth anniversary, along with the report of the local treasurer, Mrs. Mc- Lean, and a poem written for the ovcasion by Miss Lou Weightman, District corrés- pending secretary of the W.

Among those present were Mrs. Clara Williams, Miss Lillian Burroughs, Miss Debbie Grimes, Miss Grace Church, Misses Josephine apd Bessie Fernald, Miss Lille Zimmerman and Mrs. 8. D.

He declares that Mrs. Paxton’s claim is excessive and exorbitant, and also complains that she failed to complete the work in the time agreed upon, and that Mrs. Brice was thereby compelled to se- cure the linen elsewhere. —~.— To Follow the Crowd is Natural.

In addition to this the cute and other at- tractions on the View grounds were in working order and afforded amusement to all, The concert by zhe View orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Chris Arth, was also greatly enjoyed and was warmly applauded. udging from the smiling faces of the ex- cursionists, all must nave had a good time, and the committee in charge, Messrs. F. W. Helbig, August Schwarz, M. Glaeser, Geo. Loehl, H. C. Laubaach, 9. Hessler, J. F. Bauman and Dr. Czarra, are to be congratulated. Next Sunday ‘tha United Singers, eomprising all the singing societies of Washington, will visit the View. This will be the last of the German days a: that resort for this season. Marshall Hall was. the objective point yesterday for many thousands of persons, who made an excursion to this popular re- sort under the auspices of the Washington Saengerbund. There were a number of features to make the day enjoyable. The dancing pavilion was crowded all day; the bowling alleys were kept in constant use, and the hundred and one other amusing things to be found at the Hall were pa- tronized in a most liberal manner. The family parties were very much in evidence, and not the least enjoyable feature of the cay was the midday lunch under the trees in the cooling breeze. The Saengerbund several times delighted its friends by sing- ing songs of the fatherland, and the only regret was that the society had not pre- pared a longer list of such numbers. ‘The bowling contests were productive of much excitement. The prizes were won by Chas. Spiess, J. Bruegger, John Nau and Charles Jones, in the order named. Mr. Jones also won the prize for the most tenstrikes. Every trip that the Macalester made added many hundreds-to the crowd at the ,Hall, and most of the excursionists stayed ‘until the last boat at night.

William = Friederichs, Well-Known Business Man, Mysteriously Abseat. ‘William Friederichs, the well-known jew- eler, who was in business on 7th street, op- pcsite the patent office, for a number of years, but who has been recently located at No. 1226 G street, disappeared from his heme a week “ago, and the police have been urable to find him. ‘The missing man had been drinking dur- ing recent months, and on one occasion his wife had him sent to a haspital for treat- ment. This resulted in only temporary re- lief, and since then, it is claimed, he has shown evidences of an unbalanced mind. His relatives made arrangements to have him sent to-the insane asylum for treat- ment, and it is for this purpose that he is now wanted. Mrs. Friederichs visited her husband's store jast week and found among his cf- fects pawn tickets for a number of articles of jewelry which had been left with him to repair. These tickets she turned over to Inspector Hollinberger, and the latter gave them to the owners of the articles repre- sented. No traces of the missing man have been found.
