The deceased was born in Chester, Pa., June 1M2. and removed with her pa- Tents in early childhood to Wilmington, Del. She was the youngest daughter of the late William and Malvina E. Bit, Pioneer Methodists of Wilmington, her father having been a class leader in As- bury Church of that city for about fifty years. She was married April 23, 1861, and moved immediately, with her husband, Covington, Ky., and resided in said until November, 1892, when they came to this city.

Mr. Grubbs said he thought that Con- gress owed it tu the people of Washington and of the United States to appropriate enough money at its next session to light the government buildings at night, and to keep the grounds in perfect condition at | aii times.

GRAND LODGE OFFICERS More of the Men Who Were Honored by Local Odd Fellows. A Presentation df *it’ Gavel and Pro- posed Chaiigé in Holding Séxbfons. The annual session of the Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., of the District of Columbia, which Was held last week, as stated in the regular reports in The Star, was an inter- esting event. After prayer by the grand chaplain, Rev. Richard S. Emmons, the retiring noble grands from each of the subordinate lodges were admitted, and received the Grand Lodge degree. Thomas J. Jones submitted his report, which is an able and terse production. Among its good recommendations is: “An- nual session be held, nual, as at present.” The following officers were elected: Grand master, John I. Brown, Eastern Lodge, No. w. instead of semi-an- 7; deputy grand master, W. Harmony Lodge, No. 9. Millan, W. W. Millan. The elevation of Mr. Millan to this high and exalted position is a recognition of merit, and tends to demonstrate the fact that the great fraternities are advancing their young and brainy men to first places. Mr. Millan was born to that honest yeo- manry known as farmers, in Virginia. When | than seventeen he became a pedagogue, and continued in that occupa- tion, with great suc for one of his years, applying his physical strength and mental energies to products of the farm during the summer mort Later, and while yet in his minority, he spent_ two years in the State Normal College of Nash- ville, Tenn. In 1884 he was made principal of the pub- Me schools in one of the large cities of his adopted state, filling the position to the en- tire satisfaction of the public at a good finan benefit to himself. Having de- termined to make law his profession, he took up his residence here, and graduated from the { sity Law School in 1889, with abilities that were at the time pub- licly referred to. He is one of the youngest men that was ever elected to the position of D. 0. G. M. in this jurisdiction, and when it is remem- bered that he was advanced two places, and without a dissenting vote, it speaks for itself as to the moral and mental quaii- fications of the second officer In this grand bod Grand_warden, John B. Ward, Central Lodge, No. 1 secretary, William R. Hunt (re- ntral Lodge, No. 1. surer, J. A. B. Esp . member of Eastern Lodge. No. 7. For the eighteenth time Mr. Espey has been thus honored by the grand body. Grand representative, Fred A. Stier of Beacon Lodge, No. 15, was re-elected to the Sovereign Grand Lodge (grand repre- sentative from the Grand Lodge of Dis- to | trict of Columbia) for the fifth time of two- year terms each. FP. A. Stier. F. A. Stier is one of Maryland's best citi- zens, particularly in that great fraternal field—Od1 Fellowship. Mr. Steir came to Washington in 1859, uniting with the order, which he so mag- nificently represents, April 23, 1860. He has been a member of the Grand Lodge for thirty-five continuous years. Mr. Stier is one of the best informed and thoroughly posted men upon organic and other laws, vital to the order, net only of the District of Columbia. but of all who meet in annual conventions at the national grand gather- ing of the United States. Mr. Stier held the very responsible posi- tion of general bookkeeper in the Second National Bank of this city for fifteen years, and at the organization of the Lincoln Na- tional Bank, in 1800, Mr. Stier was the unanimous choice of the directors of this financial institution to become its cashier, which position he has held ever since. W. D. Keck of Columbia Lodge, No. was elected trustee from the Grand Lodge, for two years, to the board of trustees of the Seventh Street Hall. A Presentation. After the installation of officers, Fred F. Phillips, P. G., and a representative to the grand body from Eastern Lodge, presented to the grand master, John I. Brown, a gavel, to be ceded to Eastern Lodge after using the same to govern the Grand Lodge during his term of office. The head of the instrument is wood brought from the state of Colorado by Mr. Phillips when there in 1st7, representing a body of the Independ- ; ent Order of Odd Fellows in the Na- tional Grand Lodge, held in Denver that year; the handle is from a maple which grew in the grand master’s state—Maine; the decorations upon the gavel were made in this city, and are few, plain and ex- pressive. The grand master made the following ap- pointments: Grand marshal, J. D. Durfey of No. 26; grand conductor, W. F. Dement of Federal City Lodge, No. 20: grand chap- jain, J. Z. Yoder of Mount Pleasant Lodge, No. 23; grand guardian, Jacobus S. Jones of Beacon Lodge, No. 15; grand herald, L. H. McDade of Central Lodge, No. 1. M. D. Brainard, chairman of the finance committee, submitted his report, which shows the Grand Lodge to be in a prosper- ous financial condition. Representative Burrows, chairman of special committee, submitted a new con- stitution for the Rebekah branch of the order, which was unanimously adopted. This branch of Odd Fellowship is in a flourishing condition, and is doing a very large amount of charitable and other good work. Representative Crawshaw, committee on supervision, read and submitted the report of his committee, and very strongly in- dorsed the recommendations of Past Grand Master Jones to have the meetings of the grand body of the District of Columbia changed from semi-annual to annual ses- sion, which will undoubtedly receive the majority vote of the members at the Jan- uary session of 1898. = ‘The chairman of the committee on cre- dentials, A. 8. Webster, made the report of himself and co-workers, which shows be- yond doubt that the future officers and members of the grand body are tending to young men, and in that way will give the old and hard workers a chance for rest and Fecuperation, and leave the burden of hard official work and worr, to those of young- er years, who need the experience and can better stand the mental and - nocturnal strain. The Grand Lodge was then adjourned without date, after one of its most har- monious and accomplished meetings. ——— ECHOES FROM TORONTO. Meeting at Hamline Church and Rally at Washington Grove.

A petition in equity was filed in the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia late yesterday afternoon by James Selden Cowdon, asking that an order be tssued to the proper officer of the Department of the Interior to appear before the court and show cause why he should not restore Mr. Cowdon to a@ position formerly held by him in the bureau of pensions. In his pe- tition Mr. Cowdon states that he was threatened with dismissal from the pension bureau by the commissioner of pensions, and was subsequently dismissed from that office. Having been unable to secure a restoration to the position, which, he says, he won by merit in October, 1886, under the civil service act, and from which he has been alienated without demerit on his part, he, therefore, filed the petition. Mr. Cowdon submitted with the paper extracts from the civil service law of Jan- uary 16, 1883, which form the basis of his contention. gee The Other Fellow Can't Touch Us when it comes to fine quality of butter. i-lb. boxes at $1 James F.

To the Editor of The Evening’ Star: I think that a thcrough inspection should be made of the domain bounded by Whit- rey avenue and Florida avenue, 7th and 9th northwest, with a view to abating in some measure the insanitary conditions which now exist. In walking recently from 9th street on Whitney avenue to 7th and down 7th street to Florida avenue, I saw many place where the yards were covered with si green water, and side lots with v filthy deposits. Without enlarging on this subje must say that disease-breeding germs it all their own way in this region, and the population, which is large in this section, is in danger of some epidemic which may svoner or later break out as a result. I certainly tuink the attention of th board of health or the Commission should be called to this matter. “OBSERVER.” —___ You Won't Need New Furniture if you'll let our experts uphclster and re- cover all the furniture that’s a bit the worse for wear.

Sensational Baxpisede in the Police Court—Georg® Qeveland, er’s Victims 1m Criticnl State. Brawn- Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Belt telephone, No. 306, ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 31, 1897. Following the appearance of the cut in the “Alexandria street sprinkler” in last Sat- urday’s Star, and as a result of the caustic criticisms, Alexandria today has an im- proved street sprinkling machine. 1t made its first appearance on the streets this morning when the weekly cleaning of King street began. The machine was secured through the efforts of Mr. Braxton B. Smith, the new chairman of the committee on streets, and was drawn by a pair of spanking bays, driven by Mr. John Connell. It was truly a novel sight, and as the ma- chine made its first trip down the street, throwing a stream of water from side to side, merchants and others along the line rushed to the doors in a wild effort to witness the initiation of a new era in Alex- andria’s street cleaning department. To- day, for the first time in many moons, business men have been able to conduct their business with open doors while the streets were being cleaned, and without being subject to the damage and other dis- agreeable features caused by the clouds of dust which have always arisen when the street sweepers were at work. Now that the great benefit derived frem an Improved sireet sprinkling machine has been realized it is believed that the ma- chine will be a permanent feature. Chair- mun Smith is accorded great credit for the up-to-date spirit he has manifested during his incumbency, and it is confidently be- lieved that through his efforts even greater things in the way of improvements may be expected in the future. Charges of Disorderly and Threats. This morning in the police court there was quite an interesting episode in con- nection with the charge of disorderly con- duct against Sarah Henderson, a colored resident of the “Hard Corner” neighbor- hood, Lieut. Smith and Mr. Henry Rice fig- uring prominently. Lieut. Smith when put on the stand stated that while in the neighborhood of Hard Corner” yesterday afternoon he heard profane language, which he 1lo- cated as coming from Harry Rice's saloun. He went into the saloon and asked Mr. Rice who had been guilty of using the foui language. Mr. Rice told th lieutenant that he did not hear any foul language and did not know who had used it. The lieutenant persisted that he had heard it, and he and Mr. Rice had some words. Mary Henderson was arrested and locked up. Lieut. Smith testified at length as to the manner in which he had been treated by Mr. Rice, claiming that the dignity of the law had been insulted, and ended by saying that Mr. Rice kept a very disorder- ly house. = “I intend to prove it by every member of the police force,” added the lieutenant. When Mr. Rice went: on the stand he deried that his house was disorderly, and stated that he had not heard the language which Lieut. Smith had claimed was used on his premises. He charged that Lieut. Smith had been very insulting in language and bearing, and that the heutenant “had it in for him.” ‘Phis the lieutenant denied, stating that he had always been friendly to Mr, Rice. The latter demanded that Lieut. Smith's alleged threats and abusive language be investigated by the police com- missioners. The counter charges will be investigated at an early day. Cleveland's) Condition Critical. Mr. F. W.

The fare for the round trip, including a day at the Princess Anne Hotel at Virgin: Beach, is very moderate, and the trip is one of the most delightful that could be desired. Virginia Beach is a gem of an ex- cursion resort, while the ride afforded by the fine steamers of this company is per- haps the strongest feature of the trip. ‘Special tickets that carry transportation to and from Piney Point and accommoda- tions at the excelient hotel at that place from Saturday evening until Sunday even- ing will be sold for the steamer Arrow- smith at $2.50. The Arrowsmith will leave at 6 o'clock this evening and return at 10 p.m. tomcrrow. Tickets for this trip only at the above rate may be obtained from Wash. B.Williams, 7th and D streets north- west. The Arrowsmith also leaves every Monday and Wednesday at 3 p.m. and Saturday at 6 p.m. for Colonial Beach, the return trip on the latter day being made at 10 p.m. Sunday. This line affords a most delightful mode of reaching any of these excursion resorts on the river, as well as giving a Gelightful ride and excel- lent accommodations for the excursionist. The steamer Jane Moseley will make a trip to Colonial Beach tonight at 6:30 o'clock. These evening trips of the Mose- ley are particularly enjoyable. They ai made at a most delightful time of the da: and the ride down the historic Potomac in the twilight past the beautiful spots that Mne the banks of the river is one long to be remembered. The Moseley offers excep- tional advantages to those desiring to take an outing on the river en account of her swiftness, her comfortable furnishings and the safety that is afforded by the reputa- tion of her officers and the seaworthiness of the craft. The Moseley has a splendid cafe on board where good meals may be obtained at moderate prices. The Moseley will leave tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, as usual, for Colonial Beach, and there is every indication that the attendance both this evening and tomorrow morning will be a record breaker. The grove at Congress Heights on the line of the new electric road running from the Navy Yard bridge to Corgress Heights continues to draw a crowd of visitors each evening. Good music is in attendance and all the attractions to be found in such a place are on hand to amuse those who pay the place a visit. Again tomorrow hundreds of folks will make their weekly pilgrimage to Marshall Hall to pass the day in quiet and com- fort amid the cool, breezes. For years this resort has heen the objective point of those who love enjoyment combined with good order, and besides, where could one find a more beautiful spot to spend a few hours than the Hall, with its majestic groves and wide expanse of lawns? The pleasure of the day is augmented by the concert on the lawn in the afternoon by Schroeder's well-trained musicians. Dinner at the Hall is the capping of the climax, and lovers of delicacies will find things right up to the mark. Then the ride home at night is a charming trip, and the music on the steam- er adds greatly to the occasion. The pro- viding of the barber shop on the boat, which is open Sunday, is a convenience .that does not go unappreciated with the gentlemen. The Macalester leaves at 11 a.m., 2:30 and 6:50 p.m. Tonight the regular Saturday trip to Indian Head will again be made. Stops are made at Marshall Hall both Ways to allow those who care to to stop off and enjoy the freedom of the grounds or dance unul the return of the boat. Also guests who went down on the carlier boats may continue on to the Head and have the pleasure of the additional sail without ex- tra. charge. Music is furnished on the boat and adds materially to the enjoymert. This part of the program is carried out by Schroeder's men, and every one knows What thls means in musical circles. The Macalester leaves at 6:30 tonight. Arlington is one of the most beautifui spots for miles around this city.

The sail i: just long enough, and plenty of time is al- lowed at the grounds to enjoy the many attractions. The entire trip makes a sail of 110 miles, through as pretty river scen- y as there is in this part of the country. Then four hours is allowed at the Point. ‘The fishing and crabbing is of the first order there, and the salt water bathing is exceptionally fine, as there is every facil- ity for it. There is an excellent cafe on the River Queen, where dinner will be served, or at the hotel at the Point, where good service is to be had. One of the best features of the outing is the hours for the boat. It makes the trip an even twelve hours long. getting back to the city at 9:30 at nigh The children enjoy the sail to the Point immensely, and the day is not so long as to tire them.

In the Police Court late yesterday after- noon arguments of counsel were continued in the case of Mrs. Bertha M. Sessford, the Christian scientist, who is charged with Practicing medicine without a license. ‘The information, it will be remembered. set ferth that last May Mrs. Sessford was at the bedside of a little child named Owen, that died from diphtheria, the attending physician in the case having been dis- missed by her endeavors or her direction. The hearing had been continued from last Wednesday. Attorney Blair, representirig Mrs. Sess- ford, announced that the defense was ready to accept the government's case as it then stood. Assistant District Attorney Baker referred to the declaration of Dr. Walsh to the effect that the defendant re- fused to allow the physictans to enter, and the child died. The attorney devoted some time to the legal definition of “emer- yas regarded in the practice of medi- An emergency case, he stated, was one where physicians were not obtainable Attorney Baker referred to the case of a clairvoyant healing by means of his art, but giving no medicine, who was success- fully prosecuted for practicing medicine without a licer Attorney Blair, in reply, sald in sub- stance that the father of the Owen child, finding the case hopeless, dismissed the physician and called in Mrs. Sessford. It was certainly an emergency case, the physician argued. Christian scien and the practice of it, he added, is religion, and not medicine. As the hour was late Judge Mills inter- rupted the argument with a suggestion that an adjournment was desirable. The hearing, therefore, went over until some day next week, the precise date not being fixed. —_—.- -— ALE PRODUCE MARKET. e in Exgs—Product« Plentital— Generally Unchanged Prices.
