Class No. 33 of the Calvary Baptist Sun- day school gave a unique and enjoyable entertainment in the Sunday school house of that church last night which attracted a large audience. The teacher of the class is Mr. Louis Denton Bliss, and one of the chief features of the affair was the elec- trical effects introduced by Mr. Bliss and his students from the Bliss School of El tricity. Those who took part in the ente tainment were: Mr. Skinner, Mr. Brown, Mr. Cook, Mr. Langworthy, Miss Jessie Hodgkin, Misses G. Thill, L. Thill, E. Barnes, C. Plager, L. Hillery, L. Heeter, M. Spates, J. Mohler, E. Hardell, B._ West- lake, G. Myers, €. Worthington, E. Mc- Lean, M. Reed, M. Hardell, K. Williams, Cc. Barnes, E. Heeter, L. Harvell, R. Har- dell, E. Hillyard, R. McLean, F.

Each girl carried a wand, in the end of which was a tiny incandescent globe, which alternated in lighting as the little ladies marched. The “Electric Dragoons” formed another attraction, while the club swing- ing of Miss Sadie Guard, with electrical ef- fects, was also a pleasing part of the pro- gram. eo eg Delightful at Fortress Monroe. ‘The spring season at Fortress Monroe this year gives every promise of being the larg- st and most enjoyable of any year that this famous old resort has known. | The Shotels are already well filled with those who will be there during the height of the spring season, which begins the first part of this month and lasts until the last of April. The weather this year has been es- pecially delightful at Fortress Monroe, but few days being disagreeable enough to pre- vent one from being out-of-doors. It is this almost invariably pleasant climate that makes Fortress Monroe so desirable, and its reputation as an {deal winter resort is not second to the best known places of Florida and California. The only direct route from this city to Fortress Monroe is via the ele- gant steamers of the Norfolk and Washing- ton Steamboat Company. One of the steamers of this line leaves 7th street wharf every evening in the year at 7 o'clock and lands her passengers at Fort- ress Monroe at 7 o'clock the following morning. The entire trip ts made without change, thus saving all the inconveniences and annoyances which so often occur when connections are necessary. All the steam- ers of the Norfolk and Washington line are handsomely furnished, their state rooms being especially neat and cozy. The boats are heated throughout by steam and light- ed by electricity. The excellence of the meals served on board is another feature which deserves special mention.

SMITH’S MISSION Evangelist From Spurgeon’s Tabernacle, Tondon, Coming to Washington. Has Been Engaged for n Series of Services in Anacostia Bap- tist Church. Rey. J. Manton Smith, an evangelist of the Metropohtan Tabernacle, London, bet- ter known as Spurgeon’s Tabernacle, will, if nothing unforeseen occurs to prevent, conclude his brief visit to the United States by a series of meetings in Washing- ton. Mr. Smith has long had an idea of visiting the United States and Canada, but it was not until last fall that he was able to leave his work in England and carry cut his plan. During the past few months Mr. Smith has been conducting meetings in the north- ern portion of the United States and in lower Canada. He has visited many prom- inent churches, Presbyterian as well as Baptist, and kas, it is said, met with much success. For a period of twenty years pre- ceding the death of Pastor Spurgeon, Rev. Mr. Smith labored as his associate. Mr. Smith left the service of one of the great London corperations to devote his whole time to evangelistic work. He is @ grad- uate of the Pastors’ College, which was founded by Mr. Spurgeon and which has sent out many ministers to other lands. Mr. Spurgeon sent J. Manton Smith and Alfred Ciarke as co-workers in evangelis- tic work, representing the Metropolitan Tabernacle. He presented to Mr. Smith a Magnificent silver cornet, bearing this in- scription from the Psalms: “With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyfui noise before the Lord, the King.” Rev. F. B. Myer of England, who was recently heard in Washington, succeeded in inducing Mr. Smith to first tell the public the story of his life. The recital was heard by over 4,000 peo- ple in the largest hall of Leicester, Eng- jJand, after a revival of two months’ dura- tion conducted by Revs. Smith and Fuller- ton. The success of Rev. Mr. Smith owes something, it is said, to Dwight L. Moody, who, on his first visit to England with Mr. Sankey, discoverad the ability of the young cornet player and soloist, and urged him to undertake evangelistic work. It re- mained for Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon, however, to send him forth. The mention of the places in Great Britain where Mr. Smith has labored would fill several col-* umns. Pastor Spurgeon took great interest in his work, and at regular periods would call him home to the Metropolitan Tabernacle, which, seating over 6,000 persons, was al- ways crowded to its utmost when Mr. Smith returned to conduct special meet- ings. The cornet presented by Rev. Spurgeon is used by Mr. Smith with marvelous pow- er, it is said, and his solos prove as ef- fective as his sermons. As a preacher of the old Gospel he presents it with simplic- ity and effectiveness. He is an author of considerable note. He has received many invitations to ap- pear in Washington churches, but the only one he has positively accepted is the re- quest of Rev. H. T. Stevenson, pastor of the Anacostia Baptist Church. Mr. Ste- venson was among the number of minis- ters who greeted Rev. Smith when he land- ed in this country. The meetings at Ana- costia church will be held from March 6 to 10, inclusive. The afternoon services will be held at 3:15 and the evening ser- vices at 7:30 o'clock every day. It is not improbable that Mr. Smith will preach in some of the Washington church- es during his siay, but if he finds it in- convenient he will probably return to the city after brief missions in Wilmington, Del., and Philadelphia. ewer ger eS Fine Carriages for Hire and best facilities for boarding horses.

Mr. Charles Early, the real estate dealer, was complained against in the Police Court today by Agent Rabbit of the Humane So- ciety for alleged cruelty to animals. The horse belonging to Mr. Early was clipped a few days ago, and Wednesday the animal was permitted to stand in front of the offic2 uncovered. This, it is said, was the result of neglect on the part of Mr. Early’s driver. As soon as he was notified he sent for his employe and had him cover the horse. Mr. Early denied any intention of cruelty in the case. He said he had paid $300 for the animal, and certainly would not mis- treat it. Judge Kimball said he thought it was an act of cruelty to clip a horse at this seu- scn of the year. This was not the question before the court, however. The judge held that the failure to have the horse properly covered on the day chargec, constituced cruelty, and imposed a fine of $5, whicn was paid. ae Reliable Coal, $4.50 per ton.

The order has selected as chief speaker of the evening ex-Representative John F. Finerty of Chicago, who is himself a mem- ber of the A. O. H. Mr. Finerty is classed as one of the most distinguished orators in America. When in Congress he speedily came to the front as an effective speaker, and those who followed the congressional Gebates then will remember that he made many strong speeches in adv of the navy and coast fortifications bill. Mr. Fin- erty was detailed by a Chicago newspaper to accompany the forces of the late Gen. Crook against the hostile Sioux and Chey- enne tribes. He was present at most of the Indian battles of that memorable year, and was especially mentioned by Gen. Crook for good order and conduct in the field, particularly in connection with the famous “Sibley scout.” In July he joined Gen. Miles’ expedition against the Sioux in northern Montana; crossed the British line. and visited the hostile camp of Sitting Bull and Rain-in-the-Fece at Woody Moun- tains. He is an ex-federal soldier.

Judge's Opinion of a Man Who Car- ried a Slungshot. “He meant murder,” remarked Judge Kimball this morning, when Detectives Par- kam and Baur exhibited a slungshot made of a stone weighing about two pounds. The ‘eeapon was evidence in the case of a big colcred man, ramed William C. Closson, who was arrested last night. “Suspicious character’? and ‘‘concealed weapons” were the charges against him. “That's the worst weapon I ever saw,” the judge told the prisoner, ‘‘and any man who carries it means murder.” Last night about 8:30 o'clock the detec- tives were on Missouri avenue, and their attention was attracted to three colored men, who were acting suspiciously. The men were seen to follow several pedestri- ans. Finally, when the suspects came near the policemen, one of the former remarked: “There comes two now; let's get one of ’em.” Without waiting to see what they would do, the officers grabbed the largest of the colored men, who proved to be Closson. He was searched there on the street and re- lieved of his weapcn. The prisoner's statement was that his heme is in South Carolina, but he had come here on an oyster beat from the lower Pctomac. Soon after he arrived he had an experience with some strange colored men, and then he made the slungshot for pro- tection. “Where did you get your idea of how to make such a weapon?” the court asked. His answe: was that he had seen his cap- tain make boat fenders similar to th, weapon. He explained how he would handle the weapon if attacked, and said: “If more than one man attacked me I'd just tap them with it tq keep them off.” “I'll put you away for a white where you will have no reason to use it,” said the judge, and ihe prisoner was given a sen- tence’ of one year’s imprisonment, six months in jail and a similar period in the work house. —— Change of Firm.

Va., March 4, 1898, For several days past there has been on exhibition et the Columbia engine house an electric fire alarm system for the purpose of allowing the members of the city coun- cil and citizens generally to see just ex- actly how such a system works. A num- ber of the councilmen have been to the engine house to examine the apparatus. Tuesday night next the city council will hold its regular meeting, and this matter will come up, and ft is earnestly hoped by the citizens generally that the council will grant the amount of money necessary for this purpose. It is claimed that the introduction of such @ system will more than pay for it- self in the saving of wear and tear on the horses and apparatus. Monday next Mr. C. F. Thompson, agent for the Gamewell company, will make a connection of the proposed electric system between police headquarters and the en- gine houses, and if the weather permits tkere will be a test alanm for the purpose of showing just exactly how it works. At a meeting of the Relief Hook and Ladder Company last night a resolution ‘was adopted urging the board of fire war- dens to recommend to the city council the adoption. of this syetem, which is consid- ered very necessary.

He died intestate about eighteen months ago, leaving one daughter,’ Mrs. Finetta Nalle. From a letter written ‘by Mr. John Ridout, Mrs. Nalle’s attorney, it appears that because of want of formal proof of her father’s marriage, the title to the real estate has escheated to the United States. A hill has been introduced in Con- gress for the relief of Mrs. Nalle, and, ina report to the Senate District committee the District Commissioners say they have no objections to the restoration of the property to her, provided all back taxes are paid. The Commissioners suggest, in this con- nection, that where the interests of the United States are involved, the matter should be referred to the Attorney General. ——_—_ Central Union Mission’s Appeal.

Theodore Thomas ani His Orchestra at Columbia Theater. and most successful musical event of the season, successful artistically and successful financially, was the concert given yesterday afternoon at the Columbia Theater by Thecdore Thom- as and his great body of musicians, assist- ed by Ysaye, the famous violinist. That the concert was an artistic success is due to Mr. Thomas’ efforts, as well as to the excellence of his musicians, and the ap- plause that the veteran conductor received for his every move showed him in what warm esteem he is held by the music-loy- ing people of the national capital. The audience in attendanc> yesterday af- ternoon was not only a large one, filling every seat in the house, but it was en- thusiastic as well, and made up of some of the foremost membsrs of Washington so- ciety, comprising representatives of diplo- matic and official life, all demonstrating what an audience a musical event of true importance can bring out. The program comprised six numbers, no one played better than any other, but all of them brought out in a manner to do justice to the fame and skill of the man who wielded the baton. The numbers in- cluded Mozart’s symphony in G minor and concerto for the violin in E flat; the over- ture to Beethoven's “Coriolanus,” Strauss’ tone poem, “Don Juan; Lalo’s “Sym- Phonie Espagnole” and ‘the overture to “Tanwhauser.” Ysay, appeared in the Mozart concerto and the Lalo number, and as a recall to the last number, played ‘irst violin in the orchestra in the “Tann- hauser” overture. The various sections of the orchestra were splendidly brought out in the s2veral selections, the program being exceptionally Well adapted to that end. Every resource of the organization was brought into requisition, and was in splendid >vidence in the musical novelty of the afternoon, the Strauss tone poem. Ysaye is entitled to be heralded as a vio- lin virtuoso in every sense. In 2very phase of his work yesterday the true artist ap- peared, whether in some stormy passage or in the tender tones that he dr2w from his beloved instrument in portions of the Mozart concerto. Ysaye is undoubtedly one of the foremost violinists of the world proey- His work is inspiring and satisfy- ing. = === Effect of Sensational Reports.

A Test by Which the True Value of All Cures Can be Determined. How many thousands there are today who would sladly pay almost any reasonable sum to be cured of either one of the above diseases, but, knowing of so many different remedies and treatments, are unable to decide which one to try. It does seem & dificult task, yet becomes a comparatively easy one if the person afilicted will but use a little good Judgment and common sense. In the first place, every man and woman knows, or should know, that the alr passages were made for air alone, and that nature has so constructed these passages that moisture of any kind cannot enter the bronchial tubes or lungs. This at once precludes all possie Dility of a cure of deep-seated diseases being ef+ fected by treatment requiring the use of sprays, douches, atomizers.or vapors. Secondly, all regue lar physicians admit that these diseases are purely Jocal ana must be treated locally, consequently stomach medic.nes become useless in treating dis eases of-the air passages. The diseased perts must be reached through the air we breathe or not at all. Not only this, but a germicide must be used which will leave the air dry and yet have the Power to destroy the bacilli of disease in the mts nutest air cells of the lungs. This decision reach ed, then comes the question: Is there such a ger- micide, which can be inhaled through the air you breathe?
