This opinion was called forth by the application of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for permission to locate a cab service at its depot in this city. In a letter to the Commissioners asking the privilege, the railroad company calls attention to the fact that for several years such a service has been maintained at Philadelphia, and a similar cne inaugu- rated in New York. Its desirability, the company says, has been espscially empha- sized by the fact that the public convey- ances for passengers arriving by its trains are usually of a very indifferent and un- satisfactory character. The idea contem- plated the organization of a service at regular city rates, which would be first- class in every particular. The Commissioners were at once thor- oughly in sympathy with the suggestion. Such a plan if carried out would reflect credit upon the city, and put a responsi- bility upon such conveyances which have been so much needed m the past. By the crganization of such a system, there would be no fear of malicious Jehus offending or imposing upon strangers, and the service would always be neat and satisfactory. While the opinion of the attcrney makes it Impossible for the Commissioners to per- mit the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to establish an exclusive stand adjacent to its depot, they are in hopes upon the completion of the new depot, which, ac- cording to all reports, must come in the near future, they will be able to give the company the right to maintain a stand in- side the depot proper, and then abolish the existing stand, making provision, of course, for the hotel "buses. —— ‘S THE COMMITTEES.

Plans for the erection of Trinity College have been completed, and the Sisters of Notre Dame, who have charge of the en- terprise, are anxious that work on the main building shall be commenced at the earliest possible moment. It is thought, however, that operations will be delayed until fall, and that the foundation only will be put in before cold weather. The work on the building proper will be com- menced early in the spring of 1808, and it is expected the building will be ready for occupancy by next fall. Mother Julia, provincial of the Notre Dame of isters of Namur, who is in charge of the big undertaking, has already pur- chased the ground upon buildings which the seven to he erected. This ground twenty acres of land just south Soldiers’ Home grounds, between s reet extended and Lincoln avenue. Michigan avenue will be the northern boundary of the property, and an avenue to connect Lincoln avenue and Ist street will run directly south of the grounds, so that the twentv acres will be triangular in shape, and will not adjoin any other prop- erty. The objects of the college, as set forth in a circular issued by Mother Julia, as printed in The Star a few days ago, are n as follows Trinity College intended to be the complement of the Catholic academies ani are is high schools throughout America. Candi- dates admission must have certificates ef graduation from such schools or they an examination be- fore entering equivalent to such graduation. We offer three courses of study, each ex- tending through four year: classical course, leading to the degrees of bachelor the scientific course, leading to the degrees in science, and the course in literature. Graduation in all the courses will lead to the degree of Ph. D.” It was the original intention of the pro- moters of the enterprise to have the main building, or “Hall of Letters,” constructed of cream enameled brick, but it Is likely that there will be a change in this arrang: ment, and that stone instead of brick will be used. This change was suggested by the architect, Louis Durang of Philadelphia. The sisters are already at work prepar- ing a list of questions for the examinations for admission to the college. The examina- tion centers, and there will probably be three or four in each state, will be an- nounced in a few days. ee MAUNDER BURIED. and master of arts; “NED” Funeral Services and Interment Late Yesterday Afternoon.

Fully appreciating his services and the de- sire he has to improve his musical educa- Uon, his church not only gave him two months’-vacation, but a neat little sum was voted him by the board of trustees. ——— Stole a Bicyele Lamp. Policemen Estes of the bicycle squad has under arrest a small boy named Joseph Shafer, aginst whom there ts the charge of having stolen a bicycle lamp. The boy admitted t he took a lamp from a bi- cycle at the Capitol Wednesday afternoon, during the Marine Band concert, and sold it. Policeman Estes has learned that a crowd of boys have been robbing bicycles in this way, and he expects to arrest sev- eral members of the party. Shafer will probably be tried tomorrow. ———____ Sent Home to Be Spanked. Arthur Ford, the ttle colored boy who was indicted yesterday for the larceny of @ horse and buggy several days ago, the disposition of whose case puzzled Judge Cole and District Attorney Davis, as stated in The Star, was sent home in the custody of his mother later in the day, the district attorney dismissing the charge, and the eosnenon St maternal parent promising to execu sentence suggested by Mr. Davis, a good spanking. the Washington City Troop, was organized. Thirty-six men enrolled themselves as members, and when the troop reaches a membership of forty-two the organization will become an active body of the District National Guard. It was decided to have drills every Thurs- day evening, commencing next Thursday, and a hall on H street or the old herdic stables will probably be secured. Applications for membership, it was stated, should be filed with Mr. Robert Cook, Messrs. F. A. Thuee, A. W. Simpson, B. P. Otterbach and C. 'B.. Smith being named as a recruiting committee. Lieut. E. H. Pillsbury, who was desig- nated by Gen. Ordway to take charge of the organization, will act as chairman until a permanent organization is effected. The troop will probably be planned as to or- ganization and management after the Phil- adelphia and CJeveland troops, ana Its offi- cers will be elected at the expiration of three months. Lieut. Pillsbury, who has shown untiring interest and ‘energy in forming the troop, vredicts a most suc- cessful future for it in every way. pa ES EXCURSIONS. No matter how hot it is in the city, nor how sultry and muggy the deys are, one may get relief and pleasure in the trip io Indian Head on the Macalester. Four hours is enough to cool off the greatest sufferer from the heat, and that is the time that's occupied in making the run. There ts music on the boat, and from the time the boat leaves the wharf something to en- tertain is constantly going on. At Alexan- dria and Marshall Hall the boat stops on both trips, down and back, and a chance is given to spend a little time at the Hall and indulge in a dance or two, if it is de- sired. Nothing around Washington is of- fered that can equal this cool, breezy sail of nearly fifty miles, and certainly the hun- dreds of folks who weekly make up the parties are well repaid for :he journey The Macalester will make these runs ever Thursday, Friday and Saturday night un- til further notice. Convenience is one studied feature of this trip. In that con- nection, a reminder to the gentlemen about the barber shop will not be out of vlace. to Tonsorial attention while on the way the “Head” is so much better thin hurr; ing around town that a hint is all th necessary. The Macalester leaves at 6 p.m. An unusual sale of tickets is going on for the outing of the Burnside Women's Re- lief Corps, that goes to Marshall Hall to- night. There has been a program arranged that will surprise their friends, and they have made plans to outdo all previous at- tempts at entertaining, that have been well- nigh perfection in the past years. They have arranged everything even to the mi- nutest detail that things may go smoothly and a jolly good time is looked forward to by the many ticket holders. Marshall Hall affords facilities for good times that it would be hard to equal, and the ladies done much to add to the opportun hand to insure the enjoymeat of ea every one of thelr gu The Ma leaves at 6:30 p.m. The members of the severa the Catholic Benevolent Legion in contemplation for some time an excur- sion, the proceeds of which were to be di voted to the Girls’ Orphanage of St. Vin- cent’s, corner of 10th and G streets rerth- The arrangements have been all com- pleted and the outing will be made rext Monday to River View, when it is expected that the largest crowd that that rovular resort has seen in many seasons will be on hand.

One of the most popular organizations in the District, the Veteran Volunteer Fir men, took an outing at Raver Vicw yester- . They could not have chosen a more eautiful day for the trip and the weather induced a crowd to go down thai tested the capacity of the Pentz in the ing and loaded the boat Gown on all the other trips made during the day. A committee con- sisting of Messrs. James Michards, pv dent; Henry Thorn, secrezar Wi Smith and John Schofield had the affair in charge. The family Saturdays at were established about five y Capt.

To- morrow the usual family day trips will be made, and mothers will again have an op- portunity to bring all their little ones for a day in the open air. The lawns at the View are wide, and the children can run about and play without fear of being told to stop. They can make all the noise they went, for during the y River View is theirs. Tomorrow the steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m. The “chute” and other amusements at the View will be in full operation, and there will also be music and dancing all day. a TRIAL POSTPONED.

Washingtonians Preparing to Invade the Klondyke Field. Washington has become strongly affected with the Klondyke gold fever, and a num- ber of expeditions are being set on foot with the object of going there and mining the yellow metal. Several persons have left the city for the gold fields. A syndi- cate now being formed will capitalize one of the proposed expeditions. One of the promoters of the scheme is Dr. James H. Hepburn, who has spent some time in Alaska and has roughed it in all parts of the territory. He states that there are four in the party which proposes to visit the Klondyke. The idea of the syndicate, he said, is to possess a capital which will give some latitude in operations ($3,000 or $4.00), which, with the amount of their personal capital, would give enough to in- sure success. Another party formulating arrangements for investments in the Eldorado is also un- der the leadership of a physician. Many inquiries are being received at the geological survey and coast and geodetic survey for maps.and pamphlets containing information of the gold fields. Reference books are recommended as__ follows: “Alaska and Its Resources,” by William H. Dall; “Shares and Alps of Alaska,” by H. W. Seton Karr; “Guide to the Yukon Gold Fields,” by V. Wilson. (This last is in pamphlet form, and contains photographs of the Chilcoot Pass and of points on the Yukon river, principally of the terrible White Horse rapids.) “Papers and Corre- spondence relating to Russian America, a government publication; “Report of Mili- tary Reconnoisance in Alaska Made in 1883,"" by Lieut. Schwatka; “Reconnois- sance in Alaska, 1885," by Allen; “Popula. tion and Resources of Alaska, 1880,” Petroff; “Report of the Population, dustries and Resources of Ale 18: by Petroff; reports of the governors of Alaska for 18s4- 86; “Facts About Alaska,” by Sheldo and “History of Alaska, 1730-1885 Bancroft. A document prepared by the geological! survey of the exploration of Alaska, sea- son of 1896, contains much valuable in- formation, and a map from personal sur- vey. There are indi jons that a_ fiel operations nearer than the Klond soon attract attention. The A: Press recently reported that ore by In- running $28,000 to the ton had been discovered in the Mollie Hibson mine, under the 1 the Roaring Fork river, at Aspen, orado.

Frances McCarthy, whose house, No. 461 Missouri avenue, was raided last night by the police of the sixth precinct, was today arraigned before Judge Mills.

In a special to The Star from Spirit Lake, Iowa, Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage says in re- ply to a rumor that he was about to give up his Washington charge: “I denounce the lying scoundrel wh» started the report that I am dissattsfied with my Washington church, and that I will not return to it. My congregation and myself are in complete accord. They have met all their obligations to me. My vaca- tion over, I will preach in my pulpit sec- ond Sabbath in September. The last year's attendance was larger than any previous year, and many more desired to worship with us than could be accommodated Everything 1s satisfactory. That evil re- port was born in the very malice of hell, and is one of a hundred falsehoods manu- factured against me during the past thirty years, all of which falsehoods have only enlarged my work, as this will. “T, DE WITT TALMAGE.
