The American Humane Association, which comprises the societies in the United States organized for the prevention of cruelty to animals and children, will hola its annual ccnvention in this city next De- cember. While {ts deliberations will be in- structive and interesting to all who féel sympathy for the dumb and the unprotect- ed, one feature of the convention will be admirable because of the influence it will have in directing the minds of Washington children toward the subjects of kindness to animals. The association has decided to offer a serles of prizes to be awarded to the pupils in the District submitting the best essays on such subjects, and Mrs. A. L. Barber of this city, a vice president of the association, has contributed $30, to be divided into prizes for the same applaud- able purpose. The time elapsing between this an- nouncement and the holding of the con- vention will suffice to give ample oppor- tunity for the school children to study the subjects to be treated in the competition and prepare their papers with care and judgment. Conditions of the Competition. The conditions are as follows: The papers to be prepared in competition for the prizes offered by the American Hu- mane Association shall be the work of the pupils whose numbers shail accompany the Papers.

Hay, the-class prophe was delivered. The prophets were Mi Howard Martin, representing division A 4; Miss Madeline Morris, B 4; Miss Claire M. Schayer, C 4, and Mr. T. Bronte Evermann, D 4. The prophecies were most amusing, and the telling pleasant personal hits at the members of the class were greeted with much laughter.

The participants came over from Baltimore seventy strong, arriving in this city at 7 o'clock, and left immediately after the con- cert on the 10:30 tram. The concert was well attended, not a seat being left when the curtain went up, and many being forced to stand during the entire program. The house and stage were prettily decorated with palms and flowers, the latter forming @ very tasteful background for the various performers. The concert possessed the greatest merit and the various numbers were accorded a handsome amount of ap- plause. Owing to the great length of the program no encores were allowed. During the intermission between the first and sec- ond parts Superintendent Morrison of the school made a brief address, in which he stated the aims and purposes of the institu- tion and gave many interesting facts about the instruction and care of the blind. He eulogized John Russell Young, the librarian of Congress, for his efforts in establishing a room in the Congressional Library in which the blind could enjoy the books, and also the Aid Association for the Blind of this city, of which Mrs. John Russell Young is the president. He said that the fact that citizens of the District of Columbia and their children were admissable to the school was not generally known, but that pro- vision for their entry into the institution was made in the United States Revised Statutes, and that applicants for admission should communicate with either Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, president of Gallaudet College at Kendall Green, this city, or to the su- perintendent of the school. The program, although a long one, was extremely inter- esting, and served to introduce some mu- sicians of exceptional ability. Some of the numbers, notably the overture by the or- chestra from “Martha” and selections from “Tar and Tartar,” the orchestra being composed of members of the school, and the chorus, which gave ‘‘When Life is Brightest,” “Seek Ye the Lord” and ‘‘Co- lumbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” and the “Star Spangled Banner,” was exceptionally’ good and elicited a great amount of en- thuslastic applause. Three of the perform- ers, Mr. T. Harry Maxwell, Miss M. Addie Trice and Mr. Clinton Russell, were from Washington and were accorded warm re- ceptions upon their appearance on the stage. Mr. Maxwell sang ‘The Holy City” and “A Dream of Paradise.” He has a tenor voice of considerable range and sweetness and sang with precision and in- telligence. Mr. Russell played Dancla’s “Variations on a Theme of Bellini” for vio- lin in splendid style, and later showed his versatility by appearing at the piano in the accompaniment to ope of the choruses. Mr. Wilfred Jones found favor with his piano solo, Thalberg’s fantasie on Rossin\’s “Moise,” while Mr. Francis C. Myers also secured emphatic approval for his work on the piano in Kontski's “Le Revell du Lion.” The audience arose during the singing of the patriotic numbers, which brought the concert to a close, and manifested the ut- most enthusiasm. aes FRATERNAL VISITATION. Patriarchal Odd Fellows Reccive Grand Officers and Others. Magenenu Encampment, No. 4, of Pa- triarchal Odd Fellowship, at its last meet- ing, received a visit from Grand Patriarch Henry C. Hazard, accompanied by Grand High Priest J. L. Irwin, Grand Representa- tive Geo. W. Uline, Grand Scribe E. H. Pearson, Grand Treasurer John H. Seiffert, Grand Junior Warden Alonzo R.

P., presented Grand Patriarch Hazard with a bouquet of American beauty roses as a slight token of regard from Magenenu Encampment. Mr. Hazard re- sponded, expressing his appreciation of the gift.

The monument erected by members of the Iron Brigade to the memory of thetr com- mander, Gen. John Gibbon, who lies buried in the national cemetery at Arlington, was unveiled at that place eysterday with be- fitting ceremony. Quite a crowd of specta- tors was in attendance, and every survivor of the famous brigade who could possibly make the journey was there. The monu- ment, which is of Wisconsin granite, stands on the slope in front of Arlington House. It is a simple, strong shaft, with an excel- lent likeness of Gen. Gibbon in bas-relief carved upon it, Gen. Gibbon died about eighteen months ago, and at the annual meeting of his bri- gade it was decided to pay a last tribute to him in the erection of the monument, and the presentation of {it to his family. Gen. E. 8. Bragg, who succeeded Gen. Gibbon as president of the Iron Brigade As- sociation, was orator of the occasion, and in an able address formally tendered the monument to the family. Mrs. Gibbon, a daughter and several grandchildren were present. Gen. Bragg paid a high tribute to the dead soldier, telling of his valiant ser- vice with the Iron Brigade, which was com- posed of the 2d, 6th and 7th Wisconsin and igth Indiana Regiments, and did most ex- cellent work throughout the civil war, —— $1.25 To Baltimore and Retarn §1.25 vie Pennsylvania Railroad.

These meals, including the famous Marshall Hall clam chowder, ara enjoyed yearly by thou- sands, who do not care to be troubled with providing a luncheon when they go for an outing. Prof. v's band will be on hand to add to the pleasure of the day by giving the sacred concerts on both the steamer and at Marshall Hall.

The nineteenth annual excursion of the Caledonia Club will take place next Friday. River Vi2w will be the objective point and the Pentz will make three trips. There will be the usual games and cash prizes for dancing the highiand fling by children. It 1s expected that the coming event will sur- pass in interest all previous occasions of the kind. The River View line of steamers will to- morrow make the first of this season’s serles of personally conducted trips under the personal direction of Capt. B. 8. Ran- dall and his corps of assistants. Up to this time the pressure for charter days has been 80 great that the View management has been compelled to give up the Sundays and Wednesdays to charter parties, but from now on tha trips on these days will be under the direction of the View manage- ment. Sunday trips are particularly popu- lar with the business men of Washington, who take advantage of the holiday to spend @ day at the pretty resort resting and get- ting ready for the next week’s work. To* morrow the steamers will make four trips— the Pentz at 11 a.m, 2:45 and 6:15 p.m., and the Estelle Randall at 3:45 p.m. Today Calvary Baptist Church Sunday School is having its annual picnic at River View, and on the 10 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. trips of the steamer Saml. J. Pentz nearly 2,500 children, their parents, aunts and uncles, have gone to the resort. The chtldren are having a particularly good time, playing about the broad grounds and shouting and laughing to their heart's content. The Saturday night trips to Colonial and Scmerset Beach will be inaugurated by the opening of the regular season tonight, the steamer Jane Moseley leaving her wharf at N street at 6:30 sharp, returning in time to make her regular Sunday trip at 8:30 am. From that date on the boat will make daily trips to the beach, excepting Monday. A good feature of this season is that tickets sold by the boat are good until used. For those who wish to spend a full day and night at the beach these trips are a boon in this hot, sultry weather. Splen- did hotel accommodations can be found at the beach, and the pure salt water bath- ing 1s too well known to need any praise on our part. The meals on the boat are a feature, and are being taken advantage of by all excursionists. As the manage- ment desires to cater only to the best ele- ment of the excursion going public all ob- Jectionable characters will be excluded. A good orchestra has been engaged under the leaderership of Prof. Neckar, and up-to- date selections will be rendered by them as only musicians under such splendid leadership are capable of. Good state rocms can be had at reasonable rates for those who desire to make the night trip only. The boat passes the mines at 7:30 and reaches Washington about 9 o'clock, giving nearly three hours at Colonial Beach and five hours at Somerset Beacn. ae PATRIOTIC DEVICES. Stars and Stripes on Paper and En- velopes. The many. devices and trinkets symbolic of patriotism that have been sold by thous- ands since the war with Spain was de- clared, and even prior to that time, con- tinue to find good sales, but the money that has flowed into the pockets of these trin- ket makers and the men who have hawked them about the streets promises to be di- rected into another channel by the revival of a custom of the late war—that of deco- rating stationery with flags, shields and portraits. The flap of the envelope is a favorite place for decoration, and almost every stationer in the city has a stock of envelopes bearing on the flap in colors the crossed flags of the United States and free Cuba, surmounted by an eagle on a shield. This design is also duplicated upon the upper left-hand corner of note paper to match. Paper and envelopes bearing the signal flags in colors which are said to have floated from Ad- miral Dewey's’ flagship at Manila, urging the sailors to heroic measures when they read blazoned against the sky, “Remember the Maine,” have made their appearance and share favor with other varieties bear- ing pictures of the treacherously destroyed battle ship, Consul General Lee, Admiral Dewey, and within the last few days has appeared stationery decorated with an ex- cellent likeness of Lieutenant Hobson. There have also appeared envelopes that are nothing more or less than paper flags, the American emblem being printed in col- ors entirely across their face. The white stripes are available for addressing pur- poses. The limit to the number of designs and devices rests with the ingenuity of the manufacturer. Our cousins across the Canadian border have also caught the fever and much of the correspondence reaching Washington from that section has been conducted through the medium of postal cards bear- ing a cleverly conceived design showing England and America united, the world be- tween them, their ability to control the globe being made apparent through repre- sentations of the power and resources of each. Postal cards in the United States have also been decorated. ‘The bulk of this patriotic stationery will, according to the idea of the dealers, be sold in the smaller towns and to soldiers, as most business houses in the larger cities have their own letter heads, which have been used since their business was founded. The society folks will continue to use their fine linen paper bearing their coats of arms and crests, and will satisfy their patriotic ardor by using red, white or blue sealing wax stamped with the United States coat of arms. A number of letters are being handled daily in the Washington post office which have been mailed by soldiers in the field; without stamps, and forwarded to their destination by the government, the amount of postage being collected from the party to whom the letter is delivered. This priyi- lege is only granted in war times. —_.__. EXCURSION OF THE ELKSs. A Big Orowd Enjoys a Pleasant Day Down the River. The sixteenth annual excursion of the Washington Lodge of Elks was given to River View yesterday and was a highly en- Joyable event to all who participated. Many of Elks took their families along, while the* bachelors were well equipped with sweethearts, and, altogether, the throng, which numbered over 1,000, was a most sung at intervals by the : juar- were ry tet, and tho afternoon over 200 of the toast to Lieutenant Col- OLEOMARGARINE DUPES An Old Adage Exemplified in the Kollock Case. Tender Considerati Receivea by Principals—The Methods of the ternal Revenue Authoritics.. ‘The case of Israel Kollock, who was sent to fail Wednesday in default of the pay- ment of a fine of $550 imposed upon him for violating the oleomargarine laws, illus- trates in a striking degree the well-known fact that it is the dupes who suffer instead of the arch conspirators in the widespread illegal traffic in oleomargarine. Kollock was one of a number of small dealers in groceries, produce and similar goods who were led into selling oleomargarine for butter by the representations of the agents of the wholesaie oleomargarine men that they would be protected from punishment if caught, and at the same time assured that they would not be caught. Owing largely, however, to the persistent demand of The Star that the oleomargarine imposition on the public should be stopped the dealers suspected of violating the laws and treas- ury regulations were made the object of at- tention by local detectives and special agents of the internal revenue bureau, and many indictments found against them. Kol- lock was one of the parties so indicted, and upon trial he was convicted and sentenced to pay the fine mentioned above. Wilkins & Co., the firm composed of Joseph Wil- kins and Walter P. Wilkins, engaged Messrs. Jeremiah Wilson and Henry E. Davis to defend all the parties indicted, as well as themselves, and in the case of Kol- lock and several others Joseph Wilkins be- came the bondsman. This action indicated conclusively the relations as principals and subordinates of the parties to one another in respect to the offenses against the oleo- margarine laws. Frequent comment has been made con- cerning the tender consideration shown to Wilkins & Co. under the policy of the in- ternal revenue authorities in constantly accepting large sums of money from them in compromise instead of prosecuting them for confessed violations of the oleomarga- rine laws and regulations. One Purchase. Moreover, in working up the cases against the oleo men the special agents of the internal revenue bureau instead of be- ing allowed to secure cumulative evidence Were instructed to content themselves with recuring a single sample of what was being sold for butter by the suspected dealers, and where such sample was found to ve oleomargarine to make out cases on the single transaction. Thus the indicted par- ties were permitted when placed on trial to set up the plea that the single sale of oleo- margarine for butter was a mistake of either themselves or their clerks, whoever made the sale in question. The disinclination on the part of the dis- trict attorney's office to put the cases on trial where the indictment is based on such evidence can be understood, but some of the cases awaiting trial have, it is believed, much more evidence of a convincing sort. and it is regarded as desirable in the pub- lic interest that these cases should be brought to trial and the weak ones nolle prossed. The evidence which is available in the case against Joseph and Walter Wilkins, now under indictment, is believed to be very strong, and now that Lusby, Kollock and the few other dupes of the wholesale oleomargarine men who were convicted have suffered, it is believed by a large portion of the general public which has been victimized that the principal of- fenders should be confronted with a trial judge and jury. —— “The Busy Bees.” To the Editor of The Evening Sta: That land 1s surely happy where patriot- ism needs not to be enforced, but is taken with the toys of the children and carried until “death do us part.” A flock of children in the northwest, only seven in the group, have responded to President McKinley's call for “supplies” with ardor. Last Christmas, when the gladness of the season had flooded the heart of little Lucie Shipman of K street, she heard her school teacher say that she feared there would be some desolate homes, even at Christmas- tide, unless perhaps the children could bless them. That was enough for Lucte. She said to her mother: “I am going to 40 something.” She had kinsmen out in Fafr- fax, and straightway she sent a Christmas appeal, and day by day she radiied whom- ever she could, and hardly stopped to braid her pretty hair for the ardor of her quest, and so it came to pass that Christmas morning the child had gathered, not her arms full, but a one-horse wagon load of provisions and comfort fer those helpless ones whose sorrows and need she had car- ried in her heart. She mounted the seat of the cart beside the driver and guided the way to the homes that she could make glad, and when she was stiff with cold on the happy rounds she got down and walked. After Christmas the fires of loving kind- ness that had so illumined her heart did not grow cold. Finding that she could give and bless one day, she though she might other days, so she rallied half a dozen little girls among her friends, form- ed a “club,” called it the “Busy Becs” and they commenced sewing two hours a week, making aprons, towels and many of the ar- ticles for simple domestic use and selling them for the poor children of the Sunday school. Naturally, when the call came for the nation’s heart to devote itself, this child and her chosen comrades were not wanting. They commenced accumulating their arti- cles for a “fair,” and two nights this week have had their pretty handiwork on sale on 20th street. Mr. Strauss, the florist, kindly sent them some ferns and roses and a palm to wave its beautiful branches above their devoted little heads. The first night they took in $6; the returns of the second are not yet in, but again we say, happy is the nation whose children “fiy to arms” in such fashion as this, and of ali the mighty burden of the r loan” so eagerly taken by the people not a dollar is so pregnant with deep and tender signifi- cance as these.
