At the regular meeting of the Secular League Sunday afternoon a resolution was adopted, setting forth that, as the pending District appropriation bill authorizes the Commissioners “to furnish Potomac water without charge to churches to an amount to be fixed in each case by said Commis- sioners,” an exemption which has not been asked for, either by the churches or the people, and which is unjust to other water users and in violation of the na- tional Constitution. The form of the clause, it is declared, would enable the Commissioners to grade exemptions by the theology of the respective churches, fix- ing the amount of water allowed accord- ing to the orthodoxy of the party and their own will. The burden of taxation should be uniform and just, the league maintains, therefore “the Secular League committee on legislation is hereby direct- ed to use its best efforts to have said ob- jJectionable clause stricken from the Dis- trict appropriation bill. “The committee is also directed to pre- Pare and report to the league for its ap- Prova! a draft of a bill for the repeal of all laws exempting church property in this District from taxation.” After the adoption of the resolution, Rev. Dr. M. G. Kemball delivered an address on the “Relation of Language to Super- naturalism and to Secularism.” Mrs. S. M. Kendall read an original poem on “Saint Valentine,” which was follow- ed by a paper by Madame Clara Ney- mann of New York on the “Ideal Concep- tion of Marriage.” ges The Nomenclature of Streets. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: I entirely agree with your correspondent whe desires no change in the names of the streets of Washington—certainly not in those that ere numbered. During an ab- sence of several years I tcok delight in describing Washington, asserting that no other city in Europe or America that I had visited possessed its advantages as a place of residence, and I always had interested listeners. To show that I believe what I asserted, I ray state that I have returned to this beautiful city to spend the remain- cer of my days here. I was impressed by its advantages as a place of residence when I first visited it, exactly fifty-nine years go, although it was then in its compara- tive infancy. In my enumeration of its advantages to my Canadian friends I rarely omitted to mention the unique mode of designating the streets, which was highly commended. A system so advantageous and highly com- tended at home and abroad should not, in my opinion, be changed. The names of the truly great men whl be held in loving remembrance if A street be not changed to Adams, G street to Grant, L to Lincoln or W to Washington. For X and Z we have no distinguished names, unless Xerxes or Zoroaster be sug- gested, and these distinguished Persians will not be forgotten if no streets bear their names. There is an advantage in the present des- ignation that I regard as important, and my Canadian friends noticed its utility. It enables the stranger as well as the resident to easily find any designated house or place of business and compute the distance there- to. The numbered streets enable him to do this readily, and the lettered streets by a little computation. If he desire to go from H street to Q, a few seconds’ counting will tell him that one ts the eighth and the other, omitting J, stxteen; therefore eight locks distant. If these streets were named lor Brown and Jones, respectively, or even for Harrison and Quincy, the advantage would not be perceived. I am sure that I voice the sentiments of thousands in this city when I advise “Let well enough alone.” February 12, 1898. G. RAY BEARD. a Push, Hustle & Co. That's Us.

Three Buildings Invaded by Thieves, Be- lieved to Be Professionals. : Jewelry and Solid Silverware Valued at $375 Taken From Residence of George T. Roberts. It was only last week that the police Were congratulating themselves on ‘the city’s good record during recent months, while in other cities burglars were bold and aggressive, and the police authorities were sending out lengthy descriptive circulars. During the past few days, however, bur- glars have invaded Washington. The nature of the work done by them has caused the belief that there is a regularly organized “gang” here. The robbery of D. N. Wal- ford’s store on Pennsylvania avenue Thurs- day night, when about $800 worth of cut- lery and other goods were taken, was the first of the series. Saturday night M. A. Tappan & Co.'s store on F street and J. 8. Topham’s store on Pennsylvania avenue were entered, and yesterday afternoon the police learned of a big haul of gold and sil- ver jewelry and other goods that had been made at the residence of Mr. George Roberts, No. 436 4th street northeast. The robbery was committed some time between Friday afternoon and yesterday at noon, and so far as is known the burglars left no telltale clues. Mr. Roberts, who is @ government clerk, went to New York Friday and took his family with him. The house was securely fastened, he thought, but when he returned home yesterday he found that every closet and bureau drawer in the house had been ransacked, and that almost every piece of valuable metal in the house, worth several hundred dollars, had been stolen. He found things in such a condition that he hardly recognized the house as the cozy home he had left only two days before. Wedding Presents Included. Many of the articles stolen were wedding Presents that had been packed away and had been used only occasionally. Only the solid goods were taken, the burglars being careful to leave all the plated ware behind. An entrance was effected by climbing a waste pipe in the rear of the house and forcing open an upper window. Once in- side the burgiars had nothing to disturb them, for not even a servant had been left to guard the property. A heavy iron crow- bar, taken from the adjoining premises, had been taken into the house, it is thought, for the purpose of prying open trunks, but this was found unnecessary, for none of the trunks had been left locked. The jewelry and silverware were put on the dining room table by the thieves, the police believe, in order that it might be Properly assorted and the plated ware sep- arated from the more valuable solid pieces. It is supposed an acid was used to deter- mine the quality, and the burglars were in doubt only in case of a silver Waiter, which they broke and left on the table, it being plated. Before leaving the house the burglars visited the pantry and enjoyed some canned fruits. Mr. Roberts, who ts a clerk in the inter- state commerce commission, had asked his father-in-law, Mr. Watson, to look after the house, and he was the first one to aa- certain that a robbery had been commitied. He made the discovery about noon yester- day, and Mr. Roberts returned home later in the day. * The property taken included a gold watch and chain, several gold and silver pins and about fifty pieces of solid silverware, among them a variety of spoons. Mr. Rob- erts values his property at about $375. De- tectives Weedon and Boardman visited the house and made an investigation. Today a descriptive list of tne property was pre- pared and sent to the police authorities of other cities. Visits Elsewhere. M. A. Tappan & Co.'s store: was visiied by a burglar about 11 o'clock Saturday night. Two young men looking in the show window saw a man behind the counter act- ing suspiciously. A crowd soon collected on the sidewalk. The intruder, who had entered by forcing open a skylight, disap- peared, and could not be found when the Police appeared. An investigation of the premises showed that $1.45 had been taken from the cash drawer. At J. S. Topham’s leather store the rear window was found open by Special Officer Wallace. Mr. Topham was certain the window had been closed earlier in the night, and that it had been opened by a burglar. The place was searched, but nothing had been taken. It is thought that the burglar was frightened away before se- curing the coveted booty. ———— COMING MASONIC FAIR. Transacted Saturday Even- ing by Board of Control. There was a meeting Saturday night of the board of control of the national Ma- sonic fair and exposition at the fair head- quarters. It was held to hear reports from the subcommittee chairmen and to consider rew business. President J. Henry Small was chairman, and reports were received from all the twenty members of the board. As it was found the fair had outgrown the quarters selected when the plan was first suggested the committee authorized Di- rector General George W. Evans and the advisory board to make a contract for the use of Armory Hall, which is connected with Convention Hall by a broad bridge. ‘The paddle stands, which have been the subject of much discussion, were finally al- lotted as the exclusive privilege of the Mystic Shrine. A third matter of general interest was_the proposition of Harmony Lodge, No. 17, to construct and maintain an exhibit to be known as “Ye Olde English village,” an enterprise not unlike some ot the features of the Midway Plaisance of the Columbian exposition. The village will be constructed according to an accurate and creditable design, “and is expected to con- form exactly to the descriptions of old En- glish villages. Chairman Thomas P. Morgan of the sub- committee on visitors reported his belief that the President and his cabinet might be induced to be present on the opening night of the fair, saying that he had not yet conferred directly with them on the subject, but would do so during the week. April 15 was fixed upon as Eastern Star and Scottish Rite night. Interest in the fair among local Masonic organizations seems to be all that can be desired. In order to further this interest and secure the co-operation of Masonic bodies in other cities the board has undertaken the task of sendng out the fair prospectus all over the country. This has been going on for several days, at the rate of 1,000 copies a day. Within two or three weeks it is thought that every organization of Masons in-the United States will have received copies. The board thanked the George W. Knox Company and Mr. David Fraser of the Norris Peters Lithographing Company for courtesies exteaded. —————E————————— — —— EEE —— — ae EE —> APPEALS FOR AID. Wednesday Set Apart by Emergency Hospital as Donation Day. Wednesday next will be donation day at the Emergency Hospital. The managers call attention to the urgent need of render- ing them assistance. The many cases of accident that occur cn the public streets throughout the year are treated absolutely without charge, and In order that this may be continued assistance from the chari- tably inclined is asked. It has been the custom for some years past to set aside a certain day in each year for a general offering, and Wednesday next, the 16th instant, has been chosen by the Management for the receipt of donations this year. Contributions of money, pro- visions, drugs and, in fact, anything that ean be used in the treatment of the injured and affiicted, will be gladly received, it is announced, and put to the best possible use. Donations may be sent to the hospital. pcos Liquor Dealers Give a Smoker. The Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association gave a delightful smoker in Costello's Hell Saturday afternoon, at which there was a large attendance.

BOSTON sYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.— The program which has been arranged for the ton Symphony Orchestra con- cert at the Lafayette Bquare Opera House tomorrow afternoon at 4:15 o'clock {s one of the most attractive that has ever been iven by that standard organization here, t includes numbers that should enpent at once to every music lover, and which will make up a list of selections that could hardly be equaled by any other arrange- ment. It will include Mendelssohn's ovér- ture to nek, Blas,” to be followed by Schumann's Bymphony No. 4, one 4 tl most beautiful works of that highly in- spired composer. The number which will co ine by 9 the strongest measure to mu- clans,: however, in all probability will be the selections which will be given from Berlioz's ‘Damnation of Faust,” including the Minuet of the Will-’o-the-Wisps, the Waltz of the Sylphs and the Rakoczy March, the two former equaling in light- ness of touch and daintiness of concep- tion any numbers that could be presented. Massanet’s Incidental Music to Leconte de Lisle’s “Les Erinnyes” will also be given, together with Auber’s overture~to “The Black Domino.” Mr. Paur has evidently tried in making up the present program to atone for the short one presented at the last concert of this orchestra here, and he has succeeded so well that it should be, both from an artistic and a financial standpoint, the most successful concert given here this season, The soloist of the concert will be Mr, C. M. Loeffler, one of the first violinists of the orchestra, who ranks next to Mr. Kneisel, and he will play one of his own compositions, a di- Yertimento for violin and _ orchestra. Mr. Loeffler is well known as a: violinist of the highest order of merit, and his work should be enjoyable. CHORAL SOCIETY CONCERT. — The “American” concert which will be given by the Choral Society at the Congregational Church next Monday evening is attract- ing a great deal of attention through se’ eral reasons. The soloists are all Ameri- can born and in the front rank of singers in this country; the program will include only those numbers which have been writ- ten by American-born composers, while the reputation of the Choral Society is a sufficient guarantee that the program will be carried out to the letter with the very best of artistic results. The soloists wiil include such singers as Emma Juch, Mrs. Anna Taylor-Jones and Mr. W. Theodore Van Yorx, all of them of New York, vith Mr. John Porter Lawrence as the organ- ist and Mr. Josef Kaspar as director. The concert should prove to be enjoyable in all respects, and the fact that only those compositions which have been written by American-born composers will be present- ed should induce every patriotic musician to attend and become a little more familiar with the talent that exists here. —.>_—__ THE NATIONAL GUARD BAND. Lieut. MacLeod’s Force Made a Hit at the Columbia Theater. Ths National Guerd Brigade Band, pro- claimed by its friends as the official mu- sical organization of the District, made its initial appearance in concert last evening before a large audience at the Columbia ‘Theater. Attired in new regulation band uniforms of the infantry branch of the United States army, and equipped with new instruments, the appearance of the band, as the curtain rose and showed the members seated on the stage, was decidedly attract- ive. That the work of the band was en- tirely credible, and to a degree that was not expected, there is no doubt, and those pres- ent, including many officers and men of the District National Guard, shcwed by ap- plause that the entertainment afforded was thoroughly satisfactory. The program was arranged by First Lieut. Donald B. MacLeod, the director, with a view to pleasing all, no matter how varied their musical tastes might be. Nearly ev- ery number received an encore, Lieut. Mac- Leod being particularly obliging in that re- gard. Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry was the vocal soloist, sirging Arditi’s pleasing waltz song, “Geduld,” with good effect. “Suwa- nee River” was given by Mrs. Berry as en encore. To properly accompany the vocal- ist, several members of the band exchanged their brass instruments for string instru- ments. Mr. Charles H. Henney gave a euphonium solo in a thoroughly capable manner in connection with the rendition of the “Pilgrims’ Chorus’ and the ‘ Star Romance” from ‘Tannhauser. @ saxaphone solo Mr. William R. Phillips played Marie's “Tyrollienne” in a manner that earned an emphatic encore. A new march by Lieut. MacLeod, entitled “Wash- ington Commander,” was played in public for the first time and scored an instanta- neous success. It is a bright, catchy, tune- ful composition, with a swing that reminds one strongly of Sousa, and should without question prove popular. Other numbers of the program were Flotow’s overture, ‘“Stra- della;’ Moszkowsky’s ‘Russian Serenade,” Sousa’s “‘Bride-elect” march, Ganne’s ca- price, “La Czarine;” Nevin's melody, “‘Nar- ’ Herbert’s sntroduction and valse, ‘The Serenade;” Rossint’s grand selection, “Barber of Seville,” and Bucalossi’s “The Hunting Scene.” ‘The boxes were occupied by the officers of the general staff of the District of Co- lumbia militia. ——.—_—_ EPWORTH LEAGUE UNION. Bi-Monthly Mcetings at M. E. Church South, Rockville. The Epworth League Union of Washing- ton city and vicinity will hold its bi-monthly meeting at the M. E. Church South, Rock- ville, Md., Friday, February 18, 1888, at 7:30 p.m. The principal topics for discussion and the names of speakers are given as fol- lows: “The Literary Department and Its Ob- fects,” Rev. J. O. Knott, Washington; “Lit- erary and Social Meetings,” E. B. Kemp, Alexandria, Va.; “The League Library,” Fred _E. Woodward, Washington; ‘Lectures and Reading Courses,’” Miss Sally Kilgour, Potomac, Md.; “The Bible in the Literary Department,” S. B. Hege, Rockville. A service of song will commence at 7:15 o'clock p.m. The addresses will be followed by a “question box” feature and general discussion. a Providence Hospit To the Editor of The Evening Star: The writer is one of many who believe that the appropriation of public money to sectarian institutions is against the spirit if not against the letter of the Consti- tution. Nor does he question, in its legal aspect, the recent decision in regard to Providence Hospital. It is to be hoped, however, that some way may be found to meet the difficulty, even if it be by a special act of Congress.. The need of a contagious hospital is most urgent. Everybody admits this. Protestant institutions and Protestant communities do not want it near them. Providence Hospital opens its gates and grounds for it. It would seem to be a question of common sense and humanity. There is no Roman Catholic diphtheria. There is no Protestant smallpox. z As to religious interference, unless the experience of others is different from the writer's, there is not the slightest danger of it. As a Protestant clergyman, he is bound in all fairness to say he has never met at Providence Hospital the least ob- stacle in visiting and ministering to Prot- estant patients. More than this, when other institutions have refused to receive the very class of patients for which they are lavishly supported by Congress, espe- clally colored patients, Providence Hospi- tal has never, to the writer's knowledge, closed its doors to the most desperate and malignant cases. Let it have this honor, To refuse its offer of a site for a contagious hospital would be like refusing to allow a Roman Catholic to extinguish a fire that would otherwise destroy the city. CHILDS.

John Lanahan, an inmate of the alms house, became violently insane Friday and it became necessary to restrain him, in order to avoid trouble, and perhaps the taking of life.

The fact was pointed out that too little attention had been peid in this country to the matter of possessing accurate road and military maps in every section, and espe- cially that the available maps would re- quire to be very largely supplemented by reconnaissances in order to be rendered of value for military purposes. Importance of the Subject. The importance of this subject has been fully recognized by army officers and the heads of important bureaus, who have shown their personal interest in presenting for exhibition superior examples of the work of their departments, together with much valuable material, pr es for exhibitions. Deere seal, This exhibition of maps contains an especially interesting series of Chinese, Japanese, Russian and American maps and illustrations bearing upon the late Chi- nese war and the situation in the far east, loaned by the military information di- vision of the War Department, together with war maps of the civil war, Garibaldi’s campaign, the war in Greece, maps of the Hawaiian Islands and a few of Cuba. The critical relations at present existing between this country and Bain have ren- dered it impossible to exhibit or to col- lect maps of military value of this local- ity. A large number of magnificent speci- mens of topograprical maps, forming part of the exhibit of the French government at the world’s fair, have been loaned by the superintendent of the United States coast and geodetic survey, together with choice specimens of the published maps of that bureau. The work of the United States geological survey is well illustrated by a series of mounted maps, prepared espectal- ly for exhibitions, and which formed part of its exhibit at Chicago. In addition, the work of the United States hydrographic office, United States general land office and United States Post Office Department is well represented. Survey 6f Great Britain. A unique collection of maps of the ord- nance survey of great Britain, illustrating every branch of the art of map making, is on exhibition, together with a large number of specimens of foreign maps and topographical modeis belonging to private individuals and té Major Pierce, who have leaned them for this occasion. It is expected that all officers of the Dis- trict National Gaard, and others who are interested in the subject, will avail them- selves of the oppertumity of examining this collection of mapsecand of attending the lectures, as the time is opportune for a dis- cussion of, the subject of tapid methods of map making, andevents may prove the ab- solute necessity of-better preparation for the country, ct soi Lecture: Topics. From time to time the exhibit will be varied, a8,occasion demanés, to illustrate the following lectures, Saturday evenings, at 8 o'clock: Lecture 2, February 19, “The Geometry of Maps’’—elementary principles of projec- tion and perspective applied in the con- struction and use of maps, Lecture 8, February 26, “Scales of Pub- lication”—limitations and uses of maps on different scales; symbolic representation of details. Lecture 4, March 5, “The Representation of Relief on Maps’—topographical maps and models.

Washington Club, : DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION. — Their Seventh Annual Convention to Be Held Here Next Week. ‘Washington will be in the possession of the representative women of the country for tha next two weeks, the convention of the Woman's Suffrage Aescciation now in Progress being succeeded next Monday by the seventh annual congress of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution. The ses- sions, of which there will be three daily, will be held in the Grand Opera House, commencing at 10 a.m. February 21, when the president general, Mrs. Adlai E. Steven- son, will call the convention to order. Considerable business of interest to the crder will be transacted during the con- vention. The reports of officers and com- mittees will be received at the Tuesday sessions, and at night ther2 will be a re- ception from 9 to 11 o'clock at the Arling- ton Hotel. The election of officers will be held Wednesday, February 23, and it prom- ises to be interesting so far as the choic2 of a president general is concerned. Here- tefore it has always been customary for the organization to select som2 woman of rational prominence for the position. This time Mra. Donald McLean, the regent of the New York chapter, has announced her- self as a candidate. Ther2 is considerable cpposition to Mrs. McLean, and it is re- garded as very probable that it will com- bine in favor of the choice of Mrs. Daniel Manning, widow of the ex-Sceretary of the Treasury, who is now ons of the vice presidents general of the society. The sessions Thursday will be devoted to receiving reports of the Continental Hall committee and on r2commendations, and on Friday reports will be received from the National University committee and other advisory bodies of the society. The annual convention of the National Society of ths Children of the American Revolution will be held next week, also beginning next Saturday with a reception, to be held in the Columbian University lec- ture hall. = + ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS. ——. under the auspices of Mies eT ey ae clase of the pooee - E.
