The German Dramatic Club invited its friends to an “evening with Lenau,” at Typographical Temple last night, for the purpose of acquainting German-Americans with the work of one of Germany's great- est poets. The various numbers which made up the generally excellent program were very much enjoyed. Those who took part were: Mrs. Emma Poesche, who sub- mitted a sketch of the life of the poet; Mr. Frank Claudy, who read the same to the Mrs. Sophia Raumann, who and “The Song of the Reeds,” the latter having been set to music by the well-known local violinist, Mr. Herman Rakemann; Mr. George Spier, who sang “The Song’ of the Horseman;” Miss Minna Springsguth, violinist; Mr. Henry Xander, pianist, and Miss Anita Schade, who gave as a recitation the poet's “Spring.” —e Current Events Club. The Current Events Club met last week at the residence of Mrs. E. H. Grant for the purpose of discussing “Hawaii.” Those who took part im the debate were Mrs. J. H. Simpson, Mrs. E. H. Grant, Mrs. Wil- liam Johnson, Mrs. Jinma Starkweather, Mrs. North and others. Mrs. Fentress and Mrs. Starkweather entertained the guests, the former with a vocal selection and the latter with a plan of work to include a fifteen-minute reading course before the current subject is taken up. The next meeting of the club will be held at the residence of Mrs. J. McLean, January 23, at p.m. —— Good Templars’ Lodge Organized.

THE PRESENT FORM OF GOVERNMENT Criticisms and Commendation as Speakers View It. elena OTHER TOPICS CONSIDERED a The diseu: did not prove star attract ast night’s meeting of ast’ Wash- ington Citizens’ Association. The but little er than us number of invited guests who had been asked to speak on the suf. frage question. Dr. Robert Reyburn was first { and, in his opening remarks, could be no debate of the si tion, because there is only it. No one, he said, that men to that the citizens of Washir frage because the form of government was a tre on the ublican form, There is no other city in the civilized world gov- erned in the way that this city is, he said, and it was his opinion that the method is inconsistent and will aftgrward prove a serious blot cn the country’s history. He said that ten men really control the ¥. and he complained that the big cor- poraticns are not properly assessed. The poorer people, he said, most of the ta of the big corpo: Under the nt form of governm he declared, the expenses of the city are larger than in any other city. Dr. Kirby, who followed, said he favored suffrage if Congress would enact a law siving the right of suffrage to certain persons only. He said he feared that if the People were given suffrage the negro vot- ers would control the legislature, run the Rovernment and send negro representa to Congress. This, he said. would present a very sad side the right and added ton lost suf- of ives to him at least Spectacle. An Adverse View. Mr. Thomas G. Hensey, in response to Dr. Kirby, said the colored people of today are different frbm those who were here about the close of the war. Many of the colcred people here now, he said, are p. of any man in the District of Columbia. Congress, he declared, had no right to dis. franchise the people here. The legislature of Ohio, he asserted, has as much right to disfranchise the people of Columbus as Congress had to do what it did to the Beo- ple of this city. But. he added, such ac- tion in the state would cause a revolution. The citizens cf the District, he said, have the right to a revre: ative in Congress just as much ve the citizens of any other section of this country. In conclu. sion, he said there are not enough colored voters here to control an election and re- ferred to the force bill introduced in Con- gress during the Harrison administration. T resporse to a question by Mr. Martin. Mr. Hensey explained that suff would mean only copartnership with the United States government. Mr. L. King said he thought a renewal of suffrage would mean a renewal of the whole burden of taxation on the part of citizens. Co » he said, would hardly appropriate monev to be expended by an- other political gathering. Others who participated in the discussion were Dr. T. E. Lee, Ellis Dairymple, Lor- ing Chappell and R. J. Beall. A motion was made that the associ send a delegate to the central commit the suffrare associations. This pr tated a warm disenssion, in which Mr. Martin defended the present form of gov- ernment and made the statement that thought probably six-elghths of the r of the District were opposed to suffrage. Mr. Martin's proposition to postpone eon- sideration of the motion until the next Meeting was carried. A communication was received from the East Washington Citizens’ Association ask- ing co-operation in the matter of having the Congressional Library open evenings and Sundays. The members signed the pe- tition as requested. The Railroads. Chairman Frizzell of the committee on steam railroads reported that after long and persistent efforts on the part of mem- bers of the committee an arrangement was put in force on the first day of this year by which each of the established grade cross- ings on the Baltimore and Ohio routes within the city is guarded by a gate and watchmar during the twenty-four hours of each and every day. This arrangement, as far as the committee could learn, is an amicable agreement between the District Commissioners and the Baltimore and Ohio jlroad officta Whether permanent or not, the committee is unable to learn, as one of the parties to the agreement pr ferred to have no police regulation on the subject, and, as announced in the news- papers, did not desire to be influenced the interference of other people. Of course the committee dots mot care who has t influence, provided the people have the benefits. The report concludes: “We are verbally advised by one of the Commissioners that several interviews have been held with the B. and O. officials looking to the elevation of the tracks with- in the entire Dist: and inasmuch as a bill requiring the B. and P. Company to change its grades in South Washington is practically agreed upon, as we are inform- ed, we have strong hope of an early adjust- ment of ihe grades of the B. and O. tracks.” d, By way of explanation, Chairman Friz- zell said that this improved condition of affairs was brought about after a siruge lasting about two years. During these years, he said, a great many interviews with the Commissioners had been held Lately, he sa‘d, the Commissioners have been in consultation with the railroad offi- cials, and the latter preferred that no regulation should be passed, as they did not want it to appear that the company was being driven to the better protection of the grade crossings. President Tucker said he des'red to call the attention of the committee to the Monroe street crossing in Anacostia. In a letter to the Commissioners, he said, counsel for the railroad company pointed out that there were only two slow trains a day over this crossing, and that protection is not needed. President Tucker recalled the recent accident on the crossing in which an Anacostia horse car d an en- gine on‘the Baltimore and Ohio figured in a collision. It was stated, he said, that the steam railroad train was going at the rate of about twenty-five miles an hour, and a number of persons came near being killed. The suggestion was made that each of the two trains over the road every day be stopped and the train be flagged over the crossing. The report of Chairman Frizzell was adopted. st Additional Facilities. Mr. J. B. Burke, chairman, said he had no report to make for his committee, but ke did want to make a few remarks. Among other things, he spoke of the necessities for a road running north and south through Northeast Washington and said he hoped such a road would be built in the near future. Mr. Davis suggested that as the Columbic. cable road is anxious to get a charter for an extension of its lines eastward on the Benning road to connect with the Chesz- ¢ Beach railroad, he thought it should compelled to put in a loop running north through Ivy City and Langdon. Such « road, he thought, would come in to H street east over 12th street north. It is true, he ors tion of |
