Bears His Honors Modestly—Generally Treated Well by Al Classes. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the young col- ored poet, who was made something of a literary lion in England, is at the Con- gressional Library, where he was recently appcinted to a position by Librarian Jopn Russell Young. He is an attendant in the reading room, Dunbar had a talk with The Star re- Porter today. He possesses the typical Af- rican features, but has a pleasant face and a forehead infinitely better developed than the majority of his race. He is dark in celor. He is modest and speaks with no suspicton of elation. He speaks remarkably well. His age is twenty-five years, though he looks older. “I went to London simply to read, more than anything else,” he said, “but white I was over there I published my ‘Lyrics of Lowly Life,’ which had been hitherto pub- lished here, and the foreign edition is much better than the American one. “I lectured several times in London be- fore a number of representative audiences, and was much gratified at the manner in which my efforts were received. I was en- tertained by one club, and felt rather proud of that fact, as the one who was given a reception previous to my appearing there was Explorer Nansen. I did not attempt to write anything much, as I was exceed- irgly busy all the time. I was under the patronage of Col. Hay, and my greatest friend while I was over there was I. Zang- will, who is well known as a litterateur in America. I lectured at Paderewski Hall in London, among others. I found that there was no distinction made in England because I was a negro. I was treated ex- ceptionally well by the correspondents of American journals over there.” Poor Pay for Literary Work. Dunbar stated that literary work was not nearly so well paid for in England as here. A guinea for a contribution is deemed ample pay, he said, and he cited the case of a rising young writer, who wrote two pages for a periodical, and received in return, after waiting a year or more for the contribution to be published, a half guinea. The representative singer of his race in America is a native of Dayton, Ohio, where he was educated in the public schools. His. parents were slaves, being owned at one time by the celebrated Ven- able family of Kentucky. The father man- aged to escape to Canada and returned to Chio when freed by the war. A Preference for Prose. Dunbar first published a poem in one of the Dayton papers, when he was twelve years of age. This attracted some atten- tion and he continued to write ever since. He is probably best known by his dialect verse, although he is probably fonder of his prose stories, and takes the greatest interest ir. them. Two of the poet’s latest contributions were published in the Century and the Bookman. His hours at the library will enable him to do a large amount of literary work, he hopes. ————— Jersey Milk the Richest. Will send free sample to any address.

The directors of the Capital Traction Company at a protracted meeting heid yes- terday afternoon formally determined to take the action announced several days ago in The Star, that is, to put in the un- derground system of electricity on the Pennsylvania avenue and 14th street lines provided by the General Electric Company of New York. It was also decided to commence the work of changing the conduits at once, and the contract for doing this was awarded to Contractor E. Saxton. A building com- mittee, consisting of President Dunlop, Mr. Henry Hurt and Mr. Samuel F. Phillips, a large stockholder of the Capital Traction Company and ex-president of the Metro- politan Railroad Company, under whose direction the underground system so suc- cessfully operated by that corporation was constructed, was appointed. This commit- tee will take entire charge of the work of installing the new system. The contract with the General Electric Company for the equipment of the lines will be drawn up and signed in a few day: The new system will comprise all of the latest improvements of a successful char- acter applicable to underground electric propulsion of street cars, and upon its completion will be surpassed in its equip- ment by no other street railway system in the world. <ceee elphia and Re- turn.

It was library night with Minnehaha Lodge at the meeting Tuesday. There was @ good attendance, both of members and visitors and donations ef books to the library were made by Messrs. Dinsmore, Canfield and Russell. The “good of the order’ was devoted largely to discusston of such authors and books as had best pleased and most in- fluenced members. Mrs. Mary Lewis read an original paper, opening with the asser- tion that only such literature as had a tendency to make better the life of the reader was worth remembering. Professor Stewart made an instructive address, ex- pressing high appreciation of the essays on the human understanding by Locke. Mr. Canfield cited several authors, but made special reference to Victor Hugo, whose rugged strength as a writer had greatly attracted him. Mr. Dinsmore com- mended the works of E. P. Roe as fore- most among buoks making a good and last- ing impression on the mind of the reader. Mr. Russell read from a compilation by the late John M. Stearns of New York, in wich the late John B. Finch is given high rank as a speaker and writer. Addresses were made by J. 8. Blackford and Past Chief Bache, and vocal solos were ing by Mrs. Carrie Smith.

Great interest and comment has been caused by the organization of a Grand Army post at Notre Dame, Indiana, com- pesed of twelve priests of the Roman Cath- olic Church. = The organizer of this post fs well known in this city, being Gen. Wm. A. Olmsted, soldier, physician and scholar, and soon to be a priest. General Olmsted served his country gallantly during the late war. He was born in Albany, N. Y., December 25, 1834, becoming a clerk in the same railroad office in which Chauncey M. Depew began his career. He served through the entire war with the Army of the Potomac. Au- gust 17, 1861, he was elected captain of the ecmpany which he had-organized, and July 27 of the same year he became lieutenant cclonel of the regiment. He was then pro- moted to be colonel of the 50th New York Veteran Volunteers, and in April, 1863, w: brevetted brigadier general and assigned to the first brigade, second division of the 2d Army Corps, Army of the Potomac. At the close of the war General Olmsted became a student and was gradu- ated in due time. Sons of the Colonial War and Sons of the American Revolution.

Michael Conlan has been made the de- fendant in a suit flied by Roland C. Booth, in ,which the plaintiff claims $10,000 dam- ages for alleged false arrest: and imprison- ment. Through his attorneys, Messrs. 8. R. Church and F. H. Stephens, Mr. Booth charges that the 23d of last August he was arrested and imprisoned in a police station for three hours on the alleged charge of obtaining $50 from Mr. Conlan by means of false pretenses. The plaintiff states that the following day he appeared in the Police Court to answer the charge, when the as- sistant district attorney, after hearing the statement of the prosecuting witness, the defendant, nolle prossed the charge and discharged the plaintiff from custody. Mr. Booth charges that he was falsely and ma- 'iciously accused, and without reasonable or probable cause. er WASHINGTON PROBABLY WINS. Salt Lake Practically Concedes the Teachers’ Convention to the Capital. Private advices received here by a mem- ber of the board of trade indicate that Washington will almost surely be chosen as the next meeting place for the National Educational Association. The competition between the capital and Salt Lake City has been very sharp, but the visit of the ex- amining committee of the organization created such favorable impressions that it now seems certain that the western city is not “in the running.” It is said the only thing that prevents the announcement of Washington as the con- vention city is the fact that the railroads have not yet agreed to the propositions of the special committee. It is believed, how- ever, that they will grant the demands. One of the most reassuring evidences of the ultimate selection of Washington is the following statement, which appeared in the Salt Lake Daily Tribune of October 3: “The appointment of the place for hold- ing the next meeting of the National Edu- cational Association will be made by the executive committee of that body the pres- ent month. The committee consists of State Superintendent Skinner of New York, Superintendent Lane of Chicago, Superin- tendent Greenwood of Kansas City, Presi- dent Irwin Shepard of the Winona (Minn.) State Normal School and Prof. McNeill of Superior, Wis. “As these gentlemen have been here within the past few years, they do not consider it necessary to visit Salt Lake be- fore making a choice. Notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the committee has been favorable to this city, it is now thought that the next meeting will be held at Washington, as there are a large num- ber of teachers who desire to visit the na- tional capital. Superintendent Millspaugh, who has been laboring in favor of this city, has recently addressed personal letters to members of the committee, setting forth cogent reasons why the next imeeting should be held here, one of which is that the mest largely attended meetings in the history of the association have been held in the west, notably in Denver and San pearctsce, “But recent developments indicate, as stated, that Salt Lake will not secure the Prize, but that it will go to Washington.” ——.___ To Baltimore and Return “ia Pennsylvania R.R., Sunday, October 10.

Appearances indicate that a war is about to break out between District Assembly 66, K. of L., and the Central Labor Union. It seems to be likely that the K. of L. men will be the aggressive party in the struggle, but they claim that the matter has_been forced on them by the action ot some of the trade unions. At the regular meeting of District As- sembly 66, K. of L., held last night, this subject, it is said, was referred to at some length, and after the adjournment the cause of the difficulty was stated to be the action some time ago of Columbia Typographical Union in refusing to recog- nize the Plasterers’ Assembly as being in the right in a question between their or- ganization and the Plasterers’ Union, which was referred to the Typographical Union for arbitration. Since that decision was rendered, and as the result of Columbia Union’s course at that time, tke organizers of the Central Labor Union have, it is reported, or- ganized unions among craftsmen who were already under the jurisdiction of the Knights of Labor. It is further claimed that both the Building Trades Council and Central Labor Union are using every means in their power to have members of the K. of L. discharged from places in the city. where they are now employed. In order to strike an effective blow at Columbia Typographical Union it was, it is said, determined that drastic measures were necessary, and discussion was had on the advisability of requesting fhe General Assembly of the K. of L. at its coming meeting in Louisville to recommend to the government the use of typesetting machines at the government printing office in this city. No definite action was, however, taken relative to that matter. It was also stated that an effort will se@n be made to organize an assembly of brick- layers as a blow to the present Brick- layers’ Union, and in retaliation for the opposition -o the K. of L. manifested by the trades union organizations. It is further declared that, after the organiza- tion of the bricklayers’ assembly, similar bodies will be formed among men of other crafts. ———— .

Jackson, Pennsylvania R. R. £ Official, Passes Away. » Frank A. Jackson, yard conductor of the Pennsylvania railroad at the New Jersey avenue yard, in this city, died Wednesday night, after an illness of less than five days. The deceased was of a robust con- stitution, but his daily duties required great physical exertion. His medical ad- viser, it is said, cautioned him against his frequent jumping on and off of trains when they were in motion. He recently realized the fact that thcre was some derangement in his system and was correspondingly careful. Saturday morning last he was compelled to give up, and that was the last time he was seen at the Baltimore and Potomac depot. The news of his death came as a shock to his associates, by whom he was univer- sally liked, and by his superiors, whose regard he deservedly enjoyed. He went into the service of the Pennsylvania com- pany when a youth, and by diligence and strict attention to the requirements of his position had made an enviable record. widow survives.

A Trained Nurse Accused of Purloir- ing 2 Gold Watch. Headquarters detectives today placed un- der arrest, on a charge of grand larceny, Marie Deleomyn, alias Annie Ryan, an Englishwoman. She is accused of the lar- ceny of a gold watch and chain, valued at $50, from the house of Miss Clara Rams- burgh, 1300 Vermont avenue. Miss Delcomyn ts a trained nurse by pro- fession. She came to this city from Phila delphia about two weeks ago, and secured an engagement at the boarding house men- tiened. The watch and chain were pur- loined, it is alleged, last Monday morning from a bureau drawer. The jewelry was pawned at Heidenheimer’s loan office for The officers say that Miss Delcomyn after leaving the loan office proceeded to Crocker’s shoe store and there secreted the pawn ticket beneath a cushion. Becoming frightened, she again visited Heiden- heimer’s and announced her desire to re- deem the jewelry. Not being able to pro- duce the pawn ticket, the woman was re- quired to furnish an affidavit to the effect that the ticket was lost. To the affidavit she signed the name “Annie Ryan.” She will be held at the first precinct police sta- tion until tomorrow, when a hearing of the case is to be had in the Police Court. —— ee THE LATE DR.

The signing of the order reported in The Star yesterday, by Judge Cox, in the case of the Westinghouse Electric Company against the Baltimore and Catonsville Con- struction Company, declaring the latter company to be solvent, and directing the receivers, Messrs. Bond, Hambieton and Reed, to turn over the assets to it, is un- derstood to be a step preliminary to the early completion of the Columbia and Maryland railroad between here and Balti- mcre, Md. The Baltimore and Catonsville Construction Company, it will be recalled, was engaged in the construction of the road when, several months ago, the con- struction company was placed in the hands of receivers because of its then insolvency. Several weeks ago the circuit court of Baltimore signed an order declaring the Baltimore and Catonsville Company to be scivent, and that order Judge Cox yester- Gay adopted. All of the road within the District is completed, and a considerable Part of that in Maryland. Work on the read in Maryland will, it is said, be re- sumed at a comparatively early date and Pushed to completion. —_>—___ WIFE’S CLAIM SUSTAINED.
