Number of Students Exceeds That of my Previous First Day in Its History. The Columbian University was thrown oren yesterday in all its branches, and the opening gave promise that the year of 1897-98 will be the most memorable in the history of this famous institution. The number of students enrolled was greater than ever before known on the opening day, and they will enjoy the advantage of many improvements and increased facili- ties. Dr. Whitman Pleased. Dr. B. L. Whitman, the president cf the university, in speaking of the institution, said: “I am decidedly pleased with the show- ing of tuday. It has been most gratifying. In all departments the year promises to be the banner year in the history of the insti- tution. Of the last two years I can speak with some sense of personal knowledge, and I feel that opening day has never be- fore given me so much ground for expect- ing good results from the coming winter's werk. But we must not forget that cpen- ing days are uncertain evidences of true eenditions in collegiate matters. Many of those who crowded into the various lecture rooms today may have been old students or friends of the new ones. It is impossi- ble to speak with any certainty of the actual number of studeats until the regis-. tration is complete. “This is not to say that I do not find much to encourage me in the cpening day exercises. I discovered this. morning that a great mary students in tne graduate schools were graduates of otier universi- ties, Yale, Harvard, Joins Hopkins and oth- ers; and this is a most encouraging sign. One young man who entered the law de- partment from Yale University teld me tonight that he had discovered three other Yale men in his class. This registry of to- day far exceeds that of tne opening day last year, and a great rush of matriculates may be reasonably expected during the next two days, I am sure. I am decidedly pleased with the outlook.” The Collegiate Department. Students in the collegiate department met in the chapel at 10 o'clock, and the num- ber enrolled exceeded the total of last year ninety-eight. President Whitman address- ed the students on “Duty,” after which the assignments were announced, active work being postponed until today. School of Graduate Studies, In the afternoon the opening exercises of the school of graduate studies, the most recently established branch of the universi- ty, were held, Commissioner of Education Wm. T. Harris addressing the students on the meaning of graduate studies. The law school of the university, its medical and dental schools, and the Cor- coran Scientific School were opened last evening, 4nd President Whitman and the members of the faculty were enthusiastic- ally welcomed by the students. In the law school Judge Cox, the dean of the faculty, outlined the year’s work. ——.—__- $1.25 to Baltimore and Return vin B. and 0.

New York Republican Association proves Nominees of Its Party. At a meeting of the New York State Re- Publican Association last night, presided over by Mr. A. M. Clapp, the action of the recent ‘New York city republican conven- tion was indorsed. The association reaf- firmed its allegiance to the St. Louis plat- form, but recommended “a reasonable edification of the civil service rules and the reinstatement of old soldiers dismissed from the government service for political reasons.” Speeches were made by Mr. Clapp, B. F. Crashaw, J. L. Kennedy, Dr. W. T. Thom- as and W. C. Conner. The association has opened rooms at 943 F street northwest, and one of its mem- ‘bers will be in charge until after the fall elections. It has completed arrangements wiih the railroads to furnish members with transportation to New York and return during the election at a reduced rate. ——— $10 Niagara Falls via B. and 0.

There was a large attendance at Minne- haha Lodge Tuesday evening. Among the visitors were delegations from Friendship and Columbia lodges. The platform and stands were decorated with evergreens and flowers. The good-of-the order program, Prepared by Chairman H. F. Smith, was as follows: A. N. Canfield spoke upon the flowers of autumn and the lesson they should teach; H. R. Stewart, upon fruits, with special reference to apples; S. W. Russell recited at some length the language of flowers; Mrs. Mary Lewis, a former res- ident of Florida, spoke entertainingly upon orange culture. A recitation was given by Mrs. Mary A. Naylor and an address by Past Chief Bache of Friendshin Lodge. R. A. Dinsmore concluded a graphic descrip- tion of Minnehaha Falls by presenting the lodge a beautiful picture of that charming downpour, from which the lodge was named. Minnehaha Lodge will visit Little Falls Lodge Friday evering, the 8th proximo, the first aniversary of that lodge. The addresses of the evening were inter- spersed with vocal and instrumental music by Prof. Stewart, Lolo Ellwood and Carrie and Neilie Smith. ae Sa Base Ball—Washington vs. Baltimore.

NATIONAL THEATER.—Stuart and his company last night at the National scored a striking success in their produc- tion of the “Comedy of Errors.” Robson NMmseif is so closely identified with the play in the minds of theatergoers that to all intents and purposes he is really Dromio of Syracuse, and there can be no quesiion of his doing the part well or poorly, as, in the language of the street, he is the “thing iteelf.” The play last night was splendidly staged and presented. Full justice was ren- dered the delicate humor of the lines, while advantage was taken of the farcical situa- tions in which the play abounds. John L. Wooderson, as the second Dromio, had a difficult task, as comparison witn the work of Mr. Crane in this part was: natural; but im all essential particulars he was fully equal to the occasion. John Webster, jr., and Augustus Holbrook were especially good as the two Antipholuses, Mrs. Robson Was a success as Adriana. COLUMBIA MATINEES.—The manage- ment of the Columbia has determined to re- turn to the last year’s practice of having the mid-week matinee Thursday hereafter. ‘When the season commenced this year and there was a change of opera Thursday night it became necessary to have the first matinee Tuesday, but now that there will be but one opera a week a return to Thurs- day afternoon performance will be made next week.

Resolution Disclaiming Opposition io Senator Hanna's Election. Treasurer Ellis presided at the regular weekly meeting of the National Republican Anti-Civil Service League at the Hotel Em- rich last evening in the absence of Presi- dent A. M. Clapp. The usual amount of routine business was transacted, and a large number of letters, received from re- publicans throughout the country opposed to civil service, were read. Among them was the following from Representative Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio: “Athens, Ohio, Sept. 22, 1897. . D. Lester, Secretary: “Dear Sir: I think you are on the right track. Responses are coming to me from every direction. I send you 1,000 copies of my specch. An anti-civil service paper has been started in Indianapolis, and there is every indication of an organized movement to defeat any corgressman for nomination who will not pledge himself in this behalf.” It having been reported in a dispatch to a@ Washington newspaper that the league had resolved to oppose the candidacy of Senator Hanna on account of his alleged responsibility for the President’s recent ruling with reference to the civil service, a resolution was adopted, reciting the dis- patch, characterizing it as wholly untrue, and declaring that the league is heartily in favor of the election of Senator Hanna to the United States Senate from Ohio, and pledges itself to do everything in its power to secure kis election. The meeting was addressed by President Vaughn of the McKinley Club of Chicago, who stated that he will remain here until the civil service rules relative to the ap- pointment of old soldiers are modified. —_— $1.25 To Baltimore and Return $1.25 via Pennsylvania Railroad.

The Young Men's Christian Association Business College was reopened for the sea- son last night. President L. Cabell Wil- liamson presided at the meeting, and made a brief statement of the efforts of the offi- cers of the association to secure a building of suitable form and sufficient size for its work. A vocal solo, “The Merry Miller,” by Miss Bertha Bristow; a reading by Mr. A. R. Zhornborn; the rendition of a humorous song, “Hey, Rube,” by W. A. Morseli, and sev laughable recitations by F. T. Chapman, followed Mr. Williams’ address, and paved the way for talks by the faculty. Short addresses were made by each of the instructors. E. P. Hanna talked of sten- ograpay, and was followed by John W. Crawford, who explained the course in typewr Maschmeyer dis- cussed the various features of the course ‘tural and mechanical drafting. O. Hine spoke at some length of ical value and the broad scope of the work planned in bookkeepi and Eng- lish. The general secretary, W. N. Multer, talked informally of the wnole course. 2 If You Want the Best Come Here! If not elsewhere will do. You take no chances with us. We only sell pure butter. James F. Oyster, 900 Pa. ave.—Advt. Se NEED OF POSTAL BANKS. Commissioner Harlow Speaks of His Experience as Postmaster in St. Louis. Civil Service Commissioner Harlow is a strong advocate of the postal savings bank system, and hopes to see it established as a part of the Post Office Department during the coming session of Congress. As post- master of St. Louis Mr. Harlow had occa- sion many times to see the necessity for such a system. Speaking to a Star repor- ter today Mr. Harlow said: While postmaster at St. Louis it came to my attention on a number of occasions that people having small sums of money they wanted to save would purchase money crders payable to themselves in order to place it in the hands of the government for safe keeping. Of course, they receive no interest on this money and were obliged to pay the government for keeping it. The people who used the money order service in this way were of all classes aimoung those who could lay by only a small sum. Theatrical and other traveling peopie would buy money orders payable to them- selves at their homes, and others living in St. Louis would do the same thing merely to place the money where they believed it would be absolutely sufe. While postmas- ter at St. Louis I frequently had employes of my office bring their money to me and ask that it be kept in my safe for them. I could not do this, and when [ tried to per- suade them to take it to the savings bank they declined to do so, saying they didn’t like to go there with small sums of money. I found a very widespread need of just such a system as the postal savings banks would supply, and I feel sure if these banks were established they would result in great good to the country at large. Many people will not turn their money over to the keep- ing of a private bank, but they would read- ily put it in the hands of the government.” es $1.00 to Baltimore and Return via B. and 0.

His Body Laid Away by the Masonic Fraternity. The funeraleof the late Dr. James T. Sothoron took place from St. Paul's Epis- copal Church yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The arrangements for the funeral were made by Hiram Lodge, F. A. A. M., of which the deceased was a member. The church services were conducted by Rev.
