Mr. Mahlon Ashford'’s Comments on Senate Bill 1916 Mr. Mahton Ashford, president of a local real estate title insurance company, in a letter to Senator McMillan, referring to the House substitute for Senate bill No. 1910, extending jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, which passed the House last Mon- day, § in part that “it seems to me if this bill becomes a law in the shape in which it ssed the House, the effect would be to unsettle rather than settle tiles to land claimed under a will.” After suggesting several amendments to the bill, Mr. Ashford adds: mendments are made it would seem that no one could with safety invest in real estate, and that no title company having regard for the safety of its stockholders and its clients could advise the acceptance of title y ate which found to be subject to any of the conditions and provisions of sectfon 5 of the bill.” =— ‘SFUL HOMERS.

The summary for the. dif- ferent departments shows the number of students in each to be as follows: Theologi- pal department, 33; medical department, nurse's tfaining school, 37; law depa ment, 95; college department, 46; prepara- tory department, 109; normal department, 204; department of agriculture, 12; music department, 170; a total of 865. Deducting the departments of mu: and agriculture, is2, makes a total of 682—the highest num ber ever reached. Eight years ago the number was 310. » students came from thirty-elght and territorics, and from Burmah, Bul; ria, Bermuda, Canada, Corea, Japan, Sw and, South America, Turkey and |W Indies. For the next year Congress will give a larger appropria- tion for irs and new instructors in pedagogy and agriculture; while the pros- pect is that the Freedmen’s Hospital will be put under the charge of the trustees of the universit Bishop Tanner ard Rev.

She did not pay, and in default sh» went down for thirty dayr. ‘The injured woman was treated at the Emergency Hospital, — “ USA'S BAND CONCERT.—It has often er said that denionstrative patriotism dces not exist in this city; that because of its cosmopolitan characteristics the ardent love of country that calls forth paroxysms Was never evident at a public gathering. Could the author of that remark have been Present at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night he would speedily have changed his opinion. There has never been @ patriotic demonstration in this city, cer- tainly at any local theater, that has equal- ed in intensity of feeling that which took plece at that play house dast night upon the appearance of Sousa and his peerless band in his original spectacle “‘The Troop- ing of the Colors." When the curtain rose disclosing the band and chorus, and a few minutes later, when the popular bandmas- ter entered, there was an outburst of popu- lar approval that shook the theater, and this continued through to the end of the long program. Some numbers, of course, excited more enthusiasm than others, but in the main the evening was one long-con- tinued patriotic demonstratinon. The audience that was present was not only large enough to fill every seat in the theater, even to the last row in the top- most gallery, and cccupy about all of the available standing room on both the lower and second floors, but it was made up of representatives of official, social, diplomat- ic and business life at the capital—an audi- ence entirely characteristic of Washington at its best. And each one present seemed to vie with his or her neighbor in the show of enthusiasm, many pairs of gloves irre- trievably ruined and many fans broken be- yond repair testifying to the intensity of their feelings. In addition to the generally brillant audience present the theater was lavishly draped with flags and bunting, “Old Glory” holding the place of honor at every con vable point. The decorative scheme was extremely well worked out and a sight of the interior of the theater alone Was enough to inspire the beholder. The British flag also occupied a prominent place in the decorations. ‘the first part of the program was given up to the regular Sousa program, the regu- lar numbers being followed in some cases by double and triple encores, in which Scusa’s marches, of course, figured most prominent]; Some of the best numbers in iris part were the ‘‘Tannhauser” overture, Sousa’s ‘Three Quctations” and his sym- phonic poem “Ben Hur.” The band, as usual, displayed its sterling qualities as one of the foremost musical organizations of the kind in the world, and under the baton of the “March King” flay- ed the numbers selected with that rare pre- cision and skill that has made it famous. Two soloists, Mr. Arthur Pryor, trombon- ist, and Miss Louise Brehany, soprano, found favor. Mr. Pryor was obliged to re- spond to an encore to his number, while Miss Brehany, although not possessing a voice of unusual qualities, and, in fact, rather slight with regard for the size of the theater, pleased her hearers. “The Trooping of the Colors” made up the second part of the program and served to ineite even more rabid enthusiasm than Was manifested in the first part. It con- sisted of the national airs of the various powers, sung by a chorus, assisted by the hand, while a body of soldiers represent- ing the country under discussion marched upon the stage, headed by a flag bearer. In this way an extremely effective picture Was made up, in which, {t {s needless to state, the yellow country of the peninsula, with its still more yellow flag, was not rep- resented. When all the squads had been assembled a band was heard in the far dis- tan ving “Dixie,” coming nearer and nearer until it merged into “Marching ‘Through Georgia.” Then it was that the nd for a moment efforts of the orchestra and singers drowned completely. Then things eted for a moment, when the strains of 3 inspiring ars and Stripes For- with three women, each one waving 1 immense American flag at the front of audience rose en masse, the the stage, brought on another outburst. Finally the march changed into “The St Sy ed Ranner,” and all previous e of the audience to show its enthus were di need in a moment. The chorus sang w all its might, and the band play- ed its be ding more and more power in and drums at every beat, but not a sound could be heard at a distance of twenty feet from the stage. The audience forgot everything but {ts desire to do honor to the flag, and the scene that ensued for a few minutes completely defies descrip- tion, the air being played three times. The spectacle will be repeated tonight with an entire change of program. “A BACHELOR'S HONEYMOON."—"A Bachelor's Honeymoon,” which will be se2n at the Columbia Theater, beginning next Wednesday evening, for four nights, is de- scribed as one of the most rollicking and funny farces which has ben produced this season. It 1s one of Hoyt's Theater's latest Buc! and in its run in New York it is accredited with pleasing the most fastidious and dyspeptic critics. It is written by John Stapleton, a man who is known in dramatic work more as a produced than an author, but in this, his first attempt at play writ- ing, h2 has scored a great suce Its lines are said to be brilliant; its situations are of hs mingly laughing order and its cli- maxes are naturally and effectively brought cut. In addition to the merit of the play, attention must be called to the exesilentiy gtrong cast which is presenting it. It is dom that a farce-comedy receives its devel- opment at the hands of legitimate actors, but in “A Bach2lor’s Honeymoon” the ex- ception proves to be the rule, for every one connected with it has made his or her name fu legitimate work. The members of the cast will includz George F.

Shortly after 4 o'clock this morning fire was discovered in the press room of The Star office. A messenger boy, while pass- ing the building, saw flames licking the great press in the northern part of the room and immediately notified the watch- man. Word was sent to the chemical com- pany across the street and Foreman Proc- tor was on hand in a jiffy. Finding the fire located in the cellar and fearing a great conflagration, a regular alarm was sent in. By the time the engines arrived, however, the members of the chemical company had located the fire and subdued it. Jt was promptly and efficiently han- dled, and extinguished before it had done much damage. It is supposed to have orig- inated from a crossed electric light wire. = COMMITTEE HEARS REPORTS. Progress of Plans for the N. Convention, There was a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the National Educational Asso- ciation at the Columbian University yes- terday afternoon to hear reports from ¢if- ferent committees. Rev. B. L. Whitman, D. D., presided. Mr. Thomas W. Smith, chairman of the finance committee, report- ed that out of the $4,418.35 the sum of $043.25 had been collected by the school teachers of the District. It was stated that between $400 and $500 more was expected. Authority was given the hotel committee to issue a circular to persons wishing to rent rooms to the coming delegates, asking the accommodations and prices which would be offered. The transportation com- mittee was directed to ask the different railroad companies to tssue passes to the members of the committee as far as Wil- mington, so that they could meet the dele- fates and escort them into the city. The committee was also notified to secure rooms in Willard’s Hotel for the committee dur- ing the continuance of the convention. The hall has been rented by the various rail- roads, and they will be requested to fur- nish the room desired. The merab » committee reported that in a few Gays a circular letter would be sent out detailing the objects of the asso- clation and soliciting membership. Mr. H. H. Burroughs was appointed a member of the hotel committee. es Consult Studer !f you want reliable plants, shrubs, evergreens, trees, etc. See ad., page 5.—Advt, E. A. THE Y. M C. A, BUILDING Resolution on the Subject Adopted by the Board of Managers, Work of Construetion to Begin When Aggregate of $100,000 Shall Be: Subscribed. For some time, even during the intense war excitement,-the board of managers of the Young Men's. Christian Association have been holding frequent meetings to discuss plans and decide as to when it would be wise to commence the work of constructing their new building. On ac- count of many difficulties which confront the association, it has been a very hard matter to determine, but after a careful consideration the matter has been settled by the unanimous adoption of a resolution, setting forth, as the expression of the board of managers, that “they will begin the work of construction of the proposed building wher cash and subscriptions to the amount of $100,000 are in hand.” The principal reason for this action is that the deed which conveys the property, 1409-11 New York avenue, to the associa- tion, contains provisions which would make it difficult, if not impossible, to place a loan upon it. In fact, one of the real estate title companies has given an opinion to that effect. Besides, a number of the larger subscriptions to the building fund have been made upon the condition that $100,000 be raised. ‘The association ts said to be in a same- what embarrassing situation. Many people are urging that the work of construction should begin at orce. Under the circum- stances this is impossible until $100,000 has been subscribed. Already the sum of about $43,000 has been pledged, leaving a balance of $57,000 yet to be raised. Every dollar re- ceived now will hasten the time when Washington will have a suitable Y. M. C. A. building for its 40,000 young men. The policy decided upon, the managers say, leaves the whole matter with the friends of the association. The responsibil- ity is upon them and the &itizens of Wash- ington. If everybcdy who is anxious that the association shall begin to build at once will co-operate in an earnest effort to raise the amount necessary in the nekt few weeks, the building can be commenced this summer. : Early in the fall members of the citizens’ committee of 100 kad assigned to them the names of a number of men whom they were to see. Only a few of these have been approached so far, and it 1s expected, now that a definite plan has been decided upon, that each member of the committee will seo all the men on his lst and make report to the association as early as possi- ble. Committee of One Thousand. The committee of one thousand which 4 to make the general cany: y fer small sums. is just getting fairly wel organized. Each church has been asked to furnish a number of young people, who are to canvass among their friends and ac: quaintances, and in this way it is believed everybody in the city will be approached and asked to give something toward the buliding fund. Many people are thoroughiy interested in the enterprise, it is sald, and are disposed to give, but have been waiti until something definite has been decid upon. It is expected that all such will send their contributions to the association at once, Quite an elaborate system has been ar- ranged for this canvass by the members the committee of one thousand, under the direction of Mr. John B. Sleman, jr., who ud considerable experience in this line 2s a member of the executive committee in charge of the Ch Sndeavor conven- tion held here in By means of the plan adopted everybody, even the children, may have a part in the enterprise. It 1s proposed to receive subscripticns payable in monthly instailments for a period of one year, ranging from ten cents a month u to $5 a month, and to issue for each su A contribution when paid in full a handsome certificate or bond similar to those issued to contributors to the C tian Endeavor convention fund a few years ago. The bonds will be issued in series, The last two are intended for children and young peo- ple without incomes. Special bonds will be issued for subscriptions not covered by any of these series in sums of $5 or over. Already quite an amount has been secur- ed by this plan. The bonds that will be used are now being prepared, and, it is understood, will be something very’ hand- some and well worth framing. Young People Volunteering. Every effort 1s now being made to select the members of the committee of one thousand from the different churches. Up to this time between 300 and 400 young people have enlisted, and more are coming in every day. So far the young people in the Metropolitan M. E. Church have shown the greatest amount of interest in the movement, over thirty young people in that chureh having volunteered. Although not as many have volunteered in Faith Chapel}, a branch of the New York Avenue Presby- the young people of that the greatest them terian Church, church have secured so number of subscriptions, some of having influenced more than ten pers make a contribution. Assembl. jan, First Baptist, : gress Street ) land Avenue Bapti Eckington t_Congrega- tional and Mt. Vernon Place M. P. churches have also furnished good delegations to the committee of one thousand. Any one who will consent to fst in the cany signs an enlistment blank, which {s_ se to the association. Then a certificate of authority is made out and sent to the pc sen, with an outfit and button. As soon as a member of the committee receives a sub- scription record of it is sent to the associa- tion. ‘To every person who makes a sub- scription to the fund a communication 5s sent acknowledging its receipt. As soon as the subscriptions are paid bonds are is- sued. The buttons used by the committee were generously donated by Mr. S. W. Cur- riden, chairman of the citizens’ committee of one hundred. Se Change of Election Day Proposed. To the Biitor cf The Evening Star: Now that the Senate has voted to submit a constitutional amendment changing the date of inauguration from March 4 to May 4, why not also postpone the date of the election so as to avoid so long an interval between the election of an officer and the date of his entering on duty? A representative elected in November does not enter upon legislative duty for thirteen months, unless there is an extra session of Congress. Election day should be postponed from November to thefirst Sunday in February, and two sessions of Congress should be provided for each year—one to begin May 4 and the other November 4. If a House elected in February should begin business during the following May Congress would be brought nearer to the people, and vox populi would be more effective. It is true that winter is not the best time to conduct a political campaign, but the voters of these times do not need to have campaign orators tell them-how to vote. A larger vote could be polled on Sunday than on any other day of the week, as many business people and laborers will not lose time from business to go to the polls. May 12, 1898. THOMAS W.

McNally damages in the sit! of $8,000 in connection with the suit at law instituted against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company. It was brought out in the testimony that McNally was engaged by George P. Conn, an agent of the de- fendant company, to represent him in the company’s ticket office in this city for a certain period during 1896. Mr. Conn, it is stated, agreed to pay McNally a stipu- lated sum for his services. Mr. McNally alleged that Mr. Conn re- fused to pay him the full amount agreed upon, and he, therefore, withheld a num- ber of railroad tickets, refusing to sur- render them until his salary was paid in full. For this he was arrested and charged with embezzlement. The case against him Was not made out, and he thereupon filed a claiming damages for malicious prose- ion. —_.___ A WIFE'S PETITION. Appeals to the Court for Custody of Infant Child. On the petition of Mrs. Kittie Louise ‘Truesdell asking that her husband, Herbert J. Truesdell, be compelled to produce and turn over to her their infant child Ruth, Judge McComas late yesterday afternoon issued an order for a hearing returnable at 10 o'clock, May 18, before Judge Hag- ner. It is explained by Mrs. Truesdell that she has three children, who now reside with their father at 1251 Kenesaw avenue. She states that at the solicitation of her hus- band and family physician she was induced to enter a sanitarium at Binghamton, N. ¥., February 22, 1897, for treatment. After a stay there of several weeks her desire to be with her husband and children in- duced her to return to her home. ‘This displeased her husband, she says, and later she returned to the sanitarium, but again came to her home last Christm: Her husband, she adds, declared that she could not remain at his home, agreeing to sup- pert her and pay her §2 per week as pin money and stipulating that she could not have the custody of her children. Mrs. Truesdell desires the court to al- low her the custody of her child Ruth, as, she says, the little one is of tender age and needs the care and attention of a mother. ee Against Insurance Com- pany. George E, Hamilton and J. Maury Dove have each instituted suits at law, the former to recover $2,000 and the latter $1,000, against the German-American In- surance Company of New York. It is ex- plained in the declaration that May 29, 1807, the residence owned by Mr. Hamilton and occupied by Mr. Dove in Montgomery county, Md., was completely destroyed by are awitivall tts contents.

At the instance of the attorneys repre- senting Mr. Richard Mansfield, Judge Cole, in Cireuit Court No. 1, has issued an order directing Mary Sanders Winter and Percy Winter to show cause why the suit at law instituted by them against Mr. Mansfield should not be stayed. The suit is to com- pel Mr. Mansfield to pay Mrs. Winter the salary agreed upon under contract in the sum of $15 per week for forty weeks, which contract, it is claimed, was not carried out by Mr. Manstield. ed The order passed by Judge Cole was ased on a petition setting forth that the ts In a former suit instituted by Mrs. ainst Mr. Mansfield, amounting to had not been paid — Babe Poisoned by Laudanam.
