Senator Mason made a vigorous address last evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on the subject of “Evolutionizing a Nation.” The Cuban situation was dis- cussed, and he referred to the condition of the people of Cuba, who, he said, were in a starving condition. While he favored ar- Ditration, yet, if there is no other way to rescue these people, he was for war. The senator expressed the opinion that the flag of free Cuba would soon wave in the skies as an emblem of liberty. The speaker was freely applauded. He was introduced by Rev. Mr. Johnson, the pastor of the church. An original poem was read by Paul Law- rence Dunbar, and other numbers on the program included selections by the Marine Band, singing by the church choir, piano solo by Miss Beatrice Warrick and _read- ings by Miss Sarah Saunders. Mr. Lassi- ter acted as master of ceremonies. Re- freshments were served in the lecture room. a” Occultism and realism in Janaushek's Play at Columbia.—Advt, = SS Union Veterans’ Union, A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Union Veterans’ Union of the District of Columbia was held at their headquarters, on 9th street, Tuesday night. The occa- sion which brought the organization out in full force was on account of the mus- ter-in of a new command to be called the Joe Hooker Command. The gentlemen composing this new organization were all members (until recently) of the Veteran Legion of Washington, D. C. After the muster, which was done by Logan Com- mand, under the direction of Colonel Meacham, a grand camp-fire followed. Speeches were made by General Frank Sweet, department commander of Balti- more; General Dyrenforth, the rain maker; Colonel Zurhorst of Ohio, Major Dunn, the old drill master of the United States Ma- rine Corps; Comrades Hooks, Graham, Rip- ley, Goodman, General S. S. Yoder, past rational commander; Parson Dawson, Gen- eral H. L. Street, national commander-in- chief, and Samuel R. Strattan. Mr. Strat- tan, among other things, suggested the advisability of starting a subscription paper among the pensioners of the coun- try for the purpose of creating a fund for the purpose of building or buying a battle ship, and turning it over to the au- thorities of the navy as a mark of grati- tude for the favors they had received at the hands ef the government since the close of the war of the rebellion. The proposition was applauded to the echo, and a loud outburst of patriotic epthu- siasm immediately followed. After the camp-fire was over the com- mand adjourned to Maccabee’s Hall, across the street, where the ladies composing the auxiliary to Logan Command were holding a festival and entertainment, which was @ great success, both financially and so- cially ae Malt-Nutrine —the Food Drink. Prescribed by the best physicia: as the most helpful tonic ob- tainable. Malt-Nutrine is prepared by the famous Anheuser-Bush Brewing ass’n, which fact guarantees the purity, excel- lence and merit claimed for it.—Advt. ee Order of Golden Cross. The grand officers of the District of Columbia officially visited Goodwill Com- mandery Monday night. Dr. S. I. Groot, on behalf of Rev. J. E. Rankin, presented to Goodwill Commandery a bust of the latter gentleman. Noble Commander D. F. Harris acknowledged the gift in behalf of the members. Under good of the order Mrs. E. F. Huggins of Meridian gave an original recitation, and Miss M. E. Sher- wood a soprano solo. The committee on revision made a formal report of changes to be made in the by-laws of the command- ery.

Watkins, called at the first pre- einct station Tuesday evening and asked that he be sent down to the work house. His statement was that he had no home and he was willing to go anywhere. He hed been stopping at the Central Union Mission and the lodging house until he had worn out his welcome. Yesterday the man was sent to the Police Court, where he was arraigned before J: Kimball on 8 charge of vagrancy. As a result of the inquiry Judge Kimball thought it best to commit the prisoner for examination as to his men- tal condition. —_-—_——_ North Carolinians Meet. There was an enthusiastic meeting of the North Carolina Society at Confederate Vet- erans’ Hall, 1ith and E’ streets northwest, last night. Dr. Walter C. Murphy ts presi- dent of the society. There was an interest- ing program. Those taking part were: Miss Anderson, Mr. W. W. Hunt, Miss An- farct Haywood, Mise “Worthington, ‘Misa Ly Ws 0) Sohanna Ree ergs Miss Jennie Haywood, oF ‘ ws aF eR Sr nee i Commissioners Recommend Amend- ments to Pending Railway Bill. Hevse District committee a report made to them by Captain Beach of the engineer department on the bill to authorize the Washington and Gettysburg Railway Com- pany to enter the District. The Commis- sioners state that they concur in the re- port, which recommends the making of cer- tain changes in the route. Captain Beach recommends that the route provided for in section 1 should be amended 50 as to read as follows: Beginning at the boundary line of the District of Columbia at the intersection of said boundary line with 14th street northeast extended, as shown on the proposed plans of street ex- tension; thence by double track south on said 14th street for a distance of 850 feet, thence in a westerly direction to 13th street. northeast extended, as shown on the plans of street extension; thence south on 13th street to the north line of Bunker Hill road, thence along the north side. of said road and wholly outside the limits thereof to 12th street, Brookland; thence south by sipgle track on 12th and Duncan streets to Rhode Island avenue, thence in a south- westerly direction on Rhode Island avenue to 10th street, thence north on 10th and Wallace streets to and across Bunker Hill road to the north side thereof, thence along said road and wholly outside thereof to 12th street, connecting with the double tracks at that point.” It is not believed advisable to allow the road to be extended south of Rhode Island avenue, as it practi- cally parallels the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railway, and the promoters of the Washington and Gettysburg road have stated that they do not desire to do this if the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home road will establish a rapid transit system on its lines. . Captain Beach also recommends that the clause allowing the extension of thé road south of Rhode Island avenue—that is, lires 7 to 17, page 2 of the bill, be stricken out, as it is not believed this extension will be necessary, and, furthermore, the exact route cannot be definitely determined at this time without, in all probability, inter- fering with the plans for entrance, by ele- vated structure, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company into the city. He thinks section 3 should be amended to read as follows: “That the motive power shall be cable, electric, compressed air or other mechanical power other than steam locomottve power, and wherever the trol- ley system is used a return wire similar in capacity, situation and insulation to the feed wire shall be provided for the current, and no dynamo furnishing power to the read or any portion thereof shall haye either of its poles connected to earth.’’’ Section 8 declares the line of the road to be a mail route, and Captain Beach says there appears to be no necessity for this at the present time, and if the postal Officials desire to send mails over this road it would naturally become such. The propriety of designating lines as mail reutes in advance of their construction is a matter to be determined by Congress, he says. Section 17, says Captain Beach, should have the following added to it: ‘“All pas- senger rooms and transfer stations shall be provided with such conveniences for the public as said Commissioners may direct.” Section 21 should, he believes, be stricken out, as it is not believed to be advisable to give general authority to consolidate with other lines, and authority for such corsolidation should be definite and speci- fic in each particular case. Section 23, should the road be amended as suggested in the report, become unnec- essary, Captain Beach says, as the road in that case would not extend below Florida avenue. — _.——_— THE ODOR OF ACID. Circumstances Give Rise to Suspicion of Attempted Suicide. : Carrie Carrow, a colored domestic in hotel at 8th and D streets, was found in an apparently unconscious condition in the ho- tel early last evening. There was an odor of carbolic acid about her, and it was therefore supposed she had attempted to end her life. The ambulance was sum- moned and the woman was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where the physicians + took the necessary steps to relieve her of the supposed dose of acid, and she was soon as well as ever. When she had fully recovered she ex- plained that she had used a few drops of the acid on her tooth and that her drowsy condition was probably due to a dose of spirits she had taken to relieve pain. War- lier in the evening she had called at the hospital and had her tooth treated. After making her explanation, she went to her home, No. 443 Washington street. ge Janaushek in Paul Kester’s new play. Columbia.—Advt. Rev. Dr. Paxton’s Lecture. The lecture, “The Pavilion of Mars; or In Camp and in Battle,” delivered by Rev. Dr. John R. Paxton, formerly pastor of the New York Avenue Church of this city, but row of New York, delivered at the First Presbyterian Church last night, drew a large crowd to that edifice, among which were many of his old parishioners. Dr. Sunderland, the pastor of the First Church, 2d, and after requesting the audience ing “America,” in which every one joined with hearty accord, offered prayer, the burden of which was that this country might meet the present difficulties in a ceful, but honorable, way. The speaker was then introduced by Justice Andrew C. Bradley, who paid a high tribute to him as a soldier and as a minister. Judge Bradley tcok occasion to say that whatever the out- come of the present strained relations with Spain, that this country would be found to be united on every point, with no north, no south, and no east or west. Dr. Yaxton began his lectur2 by a short discussion of the Cuban question, saying that the shameful exhibition of barbarily on the part of the Spaniards in the island in starving women and children should be stopped at once. He said this country did rot want to annex Cuba, and gave s2veral strong reasons for his belief. He then de- scribed his- personal experiences in the great civil war, giving here and there vivid descriptions of several famous battles and relating humorous incidents that were al- ways rewarded with sincre evidences cf appreciation on the part of his audience. In conclusion, Dr. Paxton said that the north had overpowered the south, had crushed her, but that the south had never een licked; that Americans bad never been eaten, and never would be. At the conclusion of the lecture the “Bat- tle Hymn of the Republic” was sung, the audience joining in with spirit in the chorus. —_———. Z ° Saint Patrick's Day.

Reception by National Geographic Society Las# Evening—President Bell Heads Réceiving Party. Devotees of art) séiéyce‘and society turned out in force last night, despite the rainy weather, to attend the annual reception of the National Géographic Society, which was held in the hew ‘Corcoran Art Gallery. From 8 unti! 10 o'clock the reception last- ed, and it was deciared to be one of the most enjoyable the society ever held. The affair was rather informal, but its very simplicity made it all the more pleasing. Although this is the first reception held in the Corcoran Gallery, the wisdom of the choice was manifest. The brilHantly light- ed building looked magnificent last night, and the large number of guests lingered about the pictures and statuary until the It will be remembered that at the recent session of the Baltimore conference in this city Mr. Gill, who was then pastor of Unién Square Church, Baltimore, was transferred by’ Bishop Merrill to his present_charge, to sucteed Rev. Dr. Hartsock, whose time had expired at Ryland, and who was transfer- red to. the pastorate of Douglas Memorial Church, this city. The peopie of Ryland ate, it 1s understood, entirely satisfied witn Mr. Gill, who is a thorougn-guing pastor, but the church which he tert in baiumore 1s not satisfied with the minister assigned to it by Bisnop Merril. This opposition to the appointee, Rev. Joseph R. Wheeler, does not arise, it is explained by the mem- rs of Union Square Church, from any personal objections to that gentleman, but because they expected ana wanted Mr. Gill to be returned to them. The movement in favor of the return of Mr. Gill to the Baltimore church has gone so far that a petition signed by the entire membership, about three hundred persons, has been forwarded to Bishop Merrill at Chicago, who has also been informed by the same authority that unless their re- closing hour arrived, and then departed | quest is granted the official board will re- with the most pleasant memories of the | $ign in a body and let the church get along i the best way it can. function. Through the courtesy of the|""s gentleman who is. informed as to the beard of trustees of the gallery the society history of Union Square Church told a Star was permitted to hold its reception in the| reporter that this was not the first time gallery, and the commingling of art and|the people of the church had rebelled letters proved a happy combination. The guests were received in the main cor- ridor by Colonel H. F. Blount, chairman of the reception committee, and after deposit- ing their wraps were conducted upstairs, where they were presented to the receiv- ing party, which stood at the head of the‘ stairway.

Sad News to His Many Washington Friends. : Word was received here today that Dr. George W. Massamore, secretary of the Maryland Fish and Game Protective Asso- ciation, is lying at the point of death at his home in Baltimore. This will be sad news to Dr. Massamore’s many friends in Washington. He was a member of the District Fish and Game Association and aided the local organization by his advice and personal assisiance in its efforts to protect and prcserve the bass in the Po- tomac. He personally superintended the seining of the canal, and it was through his efforts that the bill for a close season and restricting methods of fishing in the Potomac became a law and is now opera- tive. Dr. Massamore had the reputation of succeeding in any project he undertook. Recently he spent a great deal of time at Annapolis looking after the bill which was designed to make the Maryland game laws uniform in all the counties of the state, and was confident of success. He has been seriously ill for a couple of weeks, hav- ing contracted a severe cold at Annapolis. He is said to be dying from an acute at- tack of Bright's disease. —»—__ For Cuban Relief.

A jury in Circuit Court No. 1 late yester- day afternoon returned a verdict awarding William Hammett damages in the sum of $1,500, the judgment being against the Met- repolitan Railroad Company. Hammett was a driver on a Belt Line car at the time of a collision, about two years ago, at 9th and P streets, between the car he was driv- ing and a car of, the Metropolitan Railroad Company. Hammett charged that the col- lision was due to carelessness on the part of employes of the Metropoiitan Company, as a result of which he sustained painful and permanent injuries. He asked damages in the sum of $10,000. HUMORS. Instant relief for *skintortured bab! for tired mothers if.x.warm bath with CUTICURA SOAP, and asl ication of CUTICURA (ointment), the eure.

Dr. George Elliott, who at the time was pastor of a large and influential church in a west- ern city, to succeed the retiring Baltimore pastor. The members of the Union Square Church held a meeting as soon as _ they learned of the bishop's action and_deter- mined that they would not accept Dr. El- lictt. The reason for this was stated to be that they had not been consulted in the matter by the bishop, and that they pre- ferred another man. In due course of time, however, Dr. Elliott arrived in Balti- more and presented his credentials to the proper authorities. Apparently the previous action of the congregation was forgotten, for, instead of the doors of the church be- ing closed against him, he was cordially received, and it was but a little time before the congregation was enthusiastically pleased with its new preacher. In the best-informed circles it is believed the protest of the Union Square Church against the appointment of Mr. Wheeler will amount to nothing. The precedents are that the action of the presiding bishop at a regular conference session is nevex, changed. The bishop in making the ap- pointments is presumed to act for the best interest of all concerned, and, as there are no charges whatever against Mr. Wheeler, it is not believed that Mr. Gill will be sent back to Union Square for at least another year. ree FLOWERS THE THEME. Prominent Topic Discussed at the Florists’ Banquet. ‘The executive committee of the American Society of Florists and Ornamental Horti- culturalists were tendered a banquet at the Ebbitt House last night by the local flor- ists, There was a large number of guests present, in addition to the officers and membets of the executive committee. Mr. J. H. Small, jr., of this city acted as toast- master. Mr. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, spoke of the great value of a knowledge of agriculture to the people in generai, and referred to the fact that bot- any is now taught in most of the schools. “We ‘teach the chiid to know and love the flower,” said Secretary Wilson. “We decorate its cradle with the most beautiful tproducts of r.ature’s handiwork. Perhaps that 1s the reason the child, when grown to state, finds flowers such an appro- priate gift to the young lady of his choice.” President Wm. F. Gude of this city spoke of the great gcod accomplished by the so- ciety in disseminating horticultural infor- mation. Mr. E. B. Hay responded to the toast “The Ladies” in a most eloquent man- ner, speaking of them as “the fatrest flow- ers that ever grew.” The business of the executive committee was completed yesterday afternoon. The prcgram for the annual convention of the society at Omaha, Neb., August 16 to 19, was completed. Many of the delegates will remain in the city for several days.

The city was visited by the first thunder storm of the season this morning about 2 o'clock. It was accompanied by a driv- ing rain storm. Early in the storm the telephone wires became affected, and in the down-town police stations it was nec- essary to cut out the circuit to prevent danger. The condition of the atmosphere made the registers of the police telephones click and rattle in so threatening a man- rer that the patrol boxes were cut out before most of the men had turned in for the 2 o'clock call EPOGE SSCP SFE SOE EOD SOSSOSO FOS 2 March, April, May < Are the months b 4 In which to purify $ Your blood with 3 Hood’s Sarsaparilla. he system is now In need of such i A medicine and * Is most susceptible b 4 To the benefits 3 To be derived From it.

The company proposes to occupy 12th street northeast from A strect to Bunker Hill road, and Bladensburg road from Ficrida avenue to the District line, with two spurs extending into Langdon subdi- v:sion. The company was chartered by Ccngress in July, 1892, and was required to build its line within two years there- after. But it was not constructed, and the charter has expired by limitation. The Commissioners say that should Con- See proper to revive the company’s charter, they would recommend that the following changes be made: Strike out the route as given in the bill, and in Meu thereof insert the following: “Beginning at Florida avenue and 12th streat northeast, thence northerly on 12th Street to 15th street extended; thence north on 15th street to Detroit street; east or Detroit street to Bladensburg road; thence northerly along Bladensburg road to the District line; provided, that the reilway shall be constructed entirely out- side the Bladensburg road on land to be acquired by the company.” The Commissioners also recommend that the second section of the bill be amended so as to provide for double trolleys, if they are to be used, and for the prohibition of the grounding of electric currents. They further recommend that all of section 8 be stricken out, as the line in no way affects the Washington aqueduct, or any Portion thereof. The Commissioners ask Congress to re- quire the company to deposit with them within sixty days after the passage of the act the sum of $1,000 as a guarantee fund, otherwise the charter shall become null and void. Also, that if the work of construction is not commenced within six months from the passage of the bill the amount so deposited shall be forfeited to the District. All buildings intended for the use of the public, the Commissioners ask, shall be provided wfth such conveniences as they may direct. They also ask that no crossing of steam railroad lines shall be at grade. If Congress deems it preferable le for an alternative route, one from h and H streets northeast along the Bladensburg road, entirely outside the limits thereof to the District line, is sug- gested by the Commissioners. —— Comedies at All Souls’ Church.
