To the Editor of The Evening Star: I fully and earnestly second the request of “Old Subscriber” in yesterday’s Star,that our theater managers’ shall require ladies in the audience to remove their stage-ob- securing hats when the curtain rises for the everlasting credit be it said, a large majority of the ladies of Washington Bow show that good breeding and consid- ration for others so becoming to their sex, ky voluntarily removing their hats prior to the performance; but here and there a coarse-grained, vulgar-minded creature oc- casionally appears who at once violates go00d manners and disregards the rights of others by obscuring the stage from the sight of those behind her. She js the one who is entitled to none of the courtesy due to her sex, and managers owe it to their patrons that she shall be compelled to ob- serve the obligations which decent people €we to each other. If she isn’t willing and ready to do this, of her own motion or by request, she should be politely but firmly escorted to a back seat, or, better still, w the exit door. “And all the people will say Amen E PLURIBUS UNUM. November 16, 15 ae ages Another Theater Reform Needed. Te the t of The Evening Star: Do you not think it would be a good idea for you and the other papers that have said so much against the big theater hat. to advocate with equal ardor another and equally (if not more so) needed reform in the theaters? The matter to which I refer js the abominable and wholly unnecessary habit the men have of going out between the acts of the play, causing fifteen or twenty people the necessity of rising twice een each act, many times the men re- after the curtain has risen. Many me dress has been injured by be- ing dragged under the offender's foot. This is sufficient to have some manager the same measure, as was taken in the hat question, and request the men when they go in the theater to keep their seats until the performance is over, and also post notices to this effect in the lobby. The seats are too close together to admit of two people being in the small space at the same time without great inconvenience to the one who is not going out, and who has cloak, opera glass, ete., to hold, besides the annoyance of having to get up and down so often, and, with a woman, to be forced each time to fix her skirts so they will not rumple. We are thankful to the papers for one reform. Now help us along with another, and the theater will become a place it was designed to be—a place of pure enjoyment.

BORN SLAVE—ACHIEVED PROMINENCE A Representative in Congress, Ed- ucator, Lawyer and Diplomat. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER John M. Langston died last evening at his residence, 2225 4th street northwest. He was found to be in a sinking condition yes- terday morning. During the day his symp- toms became more serious, and then it was recognized that death’s summons might be expected at any time. His wife and three children, two boys and a daughter, were with him in his last moments. Mr. Langston’s sickness dated from last week, when he returned from a business trip to Maryland. He was broken down, physi- cally, and expected soon to recuperate at his home. He had a slight attack of mala- ria, and last Thursday his condition was aggravated by severe indigestion. He was looked upon as being in such a serious con- éition that his children were summoned to the city. Mr. Langston was well known as a repre- sentative man of the colored race in this country. He was a lawyer by profes- sion, and had served in various public po- sitions. Of Slave Parentage. He was born on a plantation located three miles from Louisa Court House, in Louisa county, Va., December 14, 1829. The plantation was a large one, beautifully located and well appointed in every re- spect. The owner of this plantation was Captain Ralph Quarles; a man of large wealth and the owner of many slaves. Lucy Langston was one of the favorite slaves of the plantation, and to her was born a son, who was to occupy a prominent place among his race. She was of Indian origin, her motker being of full blood, and coming from a tribe of close relationship to the famous Pocahontas. Capt. Quarles was not a believer in the in- stituuon of slavery, and as ly as 1806 he set Lucy and her daughter Maria, at that time her only child, at liberty. Subse- quently three other children, sons, were born, John Mercer Langston being the yeungest. The Owner of the plantation was said to be the father of all the children. Capt. Quarles provided for the Langstons in his will. Receives His Freedom. John was in his fourth year when his parents died. At an early age he and his brothers left the old plantation, with the evidences of their freedom, for Ohio. Col. Wm. D. Gooch had promised the master that he would care for and educate the boy John, which he did. One of the daugh- ters of Col. Gooch's fam'ly undertook his education, and he made rapid progress with his studies. When eight years of age he was placed in a school. Later he went to school in Cincinnati, where he remained during two years. In 1844 he entered Ober- lin College. Upon graduating, he wished to study law, but found considerable diffi- culty in securing admittarce to a law school on acccunt of his cclor. He finally studied law and theology together, being the first colored student to enter a theo- logical school in the United States. In 1854 he was admitted to the bar under the laws of Ohio. His health being bad when he finished his studies he purchased a farm in Lorain county, Onio, where he located and remain- ed a couple of years. While there he as- sisted in conducting law cases with consid- erable success. On one ceccasion he con- ducted a case with such great skill that clients came to him in number, and he be- came at once thoroughly established as an attorney. Shortly afterward Mr. Langston married a North Carolina lady, who had been reared in Ohio and educated at Ober- lin College. An Ardent Abolitionist. Mr. Langston early in life became an ardent and able advocate of the abolition of slavery, his speeches attracting much attention. As the war drew nearer Mr. Langston was more and more energetic in advancing anti-slavery sentiment. When the civil strife opened he entered vigor- ously upon the recruitment of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, and through his efforts 3,000 or more men were sent to Mas- sachusetts from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where they were enlisted. After his work in this connection he made his first visit to this city to see Pres- ident Lincoln. He was appointed general inspector of the bureau of refugees, freed- men and abandoned lands, in which ca- pacity he served with credit. His duties caused him to visit many portions of the south, and at times the labor imposed was quite arduous. Founder of a University. It was Mr. Langston who founded ait organiz@ the iaw department of Howard University, and he was made its acting president. President Grant appointed him a member of thé board of health of the District of Columbia In 1871. Later he was appointed minister resident and consul gen- eral to Haiti. Upon the conclusion of his diplomatic service Mr. Langston was made president of the Virginia Normal and Col- legiate Institute. He was nominated as a representative to the Fifty-first Congress from Virginia, and his campaign was a re- markable ene. The election resulted in a contest for Mr. Langston’s seat, but he was admitted to the House of Representatives, where he delivered a number of speeches and made a creditable record. He was unanimously renominated for Congress by @ popular republican conference, held at Petersburg, although the republican con- gressional committee of the fourth district had refused to call the regular nominating convention; but he felt that the party ob- stacles and prejudices to be encountered were so great that his campaign could hardly result in success. He was again nominated for the Fifty-third Congress, but declined the nomination. During the later years of his life Mr. Langston occupied a pretty Swiss, cottage in the neighborhood of Howard University, just north of this city. The widow, two sons and a daughter, referred to, consti- tuted his family, his eldest child during his at Oberlin, Ohio. = ‘The Decorations at Gude’s Show will give you an idea of his ability to do your decorating for weddings, etc, 1224 F.— ertisemen' Adv “The Majestic,” 14th and Yale n.w.; furnished.

THE SEQULAR LEAGUE. —— Themes Discumedwat the Meeting Held Sungsy% Afternoon. An audience of moredhan a hundred per- sons were in attgndagce at the Secular League's meeting @undpy afternoon, at the temple, 513 9th stgeets The president, re- ferring to the objerts af the league, stated that while it wag;pledged to the mainte- nance of equal rightsgand free speech, it not only aimed tejoriticise current errors, but to inculcate ygsitixe truth. The exer- cises of the day were @esigned to illustrate this. The prelimigary: paper was by Mrs. Dr. Mary E. Morriagn, who discussed “Adam and His Rib,” andgreaged of the relation of the sexes. Prof. W. J. Mc@ee delivered an address on “The Evolution of Altruism,” dwelling largely upon the four stages of human so- cial development. These he divided into two groups—the tribal, including the earli- est stage, where the matron or mother ele- ment was’ domniant, andthe patriarchal stage. Next the national group, the earli- est stage of which recognized the right of private property, and the final stage, not yet completed, aS recognizes. the right of intellectual property. The discussion was perth ted in by Messrs. Cart; Goddard, Dr. , Steiner, Burbage, Roys and Peac! Next Sunday at the same time and place Prof. W.

If these weapons are withheld from them, then, indeed, are they left naked to their enemies.” Since Judge Caldwell’s opinion is that of a minority of the court, it is ineffective in interpreting the law, but in the presence of a natural sympathy with the weaker party in the contest it tends to perpetuate the wrong view of the relation of corpora- tions to the social organism. The powers which are given to corporations are given in the exercise of the deliberate judgment of the law-making power. Strikes and boycotts against corporations are offenses against the body politic and social, whose —.>__. AFTER LIQUOR DEALERS. Temperance Advocates in Montgom- ery County Said to Be Aggressive. The troubles of the liquor dealers in Montgomery county do not appear to be over. This applies particularly to the Places on the Conduit read, which are patronized almost entirely by Washington People. Just at present business is very dull, and most of the places have. been closed up for the winter, with the expecta- tion of opening as soon as spring comes. The recent raid on all of the saloons, which was published exclusively in The Star, is said to be only the first step on the part of the temperance people. It is given out that they intend to keep up an aggressive war- fare on the traffic in the county. The temperance people of the county, in conjunction with the Anti-Saloon League of Washington, have employed three de- tectives, two white men and one colored, to secure evidence against the saloon keepers, and have them brought before the grand jury whenever sufficient evidence is ob- tained to make a case against them. It ts understood the keepers of the road houses will endeavor to evade the consequences of selling by forming clubs and selling only to those people who may have a card of membership. —.__ LUTHERAN SYNOD.

After the close of the report of the pro- ceedings of the eastern conference of the Maryland synod of the Lutheran Church, at the Church of Our Redeemer, as printed in| agents the corporations are. ~ Rebellion The Star of last evening, papers were read! against corporate power is rebellion as follows: against the government. What, then, is the remedy against corporate oppression? It is the amendment of the laws under which corporations are established. It is contended by many persons that no person has a right to utilize his innate abilities or his opportunities for his sole benefit, but that the talented and the for- tunate should share their advantages with all; whiie other persons contend that the individual has a right to do as he pleases. Whatever views may be held as to the “natural rights’ of man, however far the individual should be freed from socizlistic domination, there appears to me to be no room for ccntention that the artificial rights and the right of forming corpora- tions is one of these, are wholly subject to the control of the political or social body which creates them. if, then, corporations are oppressive it is beeause the paramount authority, the community itself, wills that they may be so. If it would not have them so it can legislate that they shall not have the power to be so.» Already some such legisiation exists, and such will continue to increase. The appeal of the oppressed should be to therlegislature and to the Rev. Dr. Domer of this city on ‘Has the Ministerium the Right to Ordain to the Gospel Ministry Without the Action of the Synod?”; Revs. Dr. Miller of Baltimore and J. C. Bowers of this city on “Should Our Licentiates Be Required to Stand an Examination of the Studies of the Third Year Before They are Admitted to Ordina- tion?”’; Rev. Dr. Studebaker and Rev. J. L.

There may be collusion between the distiller and the resident auger or storekeeper; the collector may be convinced of it, though not be able to prove the fact; but, by this deciston, the criminal revenue man must stay; he is im- movable; the dance of corruption, pecula- tion in secret, must go on; until the proofs of the fact are adduced plainly; until the parties engaged in the frauds are exposed, unmistakably; which may be never; for are they not a cunning generation,’ who know “how to do it?” Yea, verily.

The wish is that two of the honorable Commissioners could be induced to board an Anacostia car (going east) at 7th street, any rainy evening between 5 and 7 o'clock, and ride to the terminus of the bridge. A better realization of what is endured by a long-suffering public in the southeast section could be obtained than from seores of letters on the subject. I counted on one of these ill-ventilated little boxes thirty people, inside and out- gide. Twenty of these were colored people, bound for Hillsdale, of the class who work on the streets and perspire, and they fairly SOUSA’S Brilliant Opera. smell to heaven.

If the Metropolitan line could be induced to extend its rails down 10th or 11th south- east to the terminus of the bridge, I am sure no self-respecting white person could be induced to enter an Anacostia car. ~ I understand that property is daily de- creasing in value on account of this intol- erable railroad service, with no hope for improvement, unless the Commissioners and the Metropolitan railway will move in this matter, on a woman's appeal, and as @ matter of public policy. East Washing- ton is not the north pole, and yet it seems to be as far away when the schedule for “improvements needed” is on the tapis.
