DEDICATION OF THE CROSS, Interesting Ceremony to Take Place Sunday Afternoon. The dedication of the cross on the site of the new Episcopal cathedral will take place Sunday afternoon, commencing at 3 o'clock, and will be conducted with im- pressive ceremonies. The site is at the southeast corner of the junction of the Tenleytown and Woodley Lane roads, St. Church being on a portion of the The land, it will be remembered, was recently purchased from Mr. Amazi L.

Stands for the accommodation of 900 or 1,000 specta- tors will be erected, and a committee of about forty from the Churchman’s League will be present to take charge of the proper seating of the invited guests. Mr. Edward F. Looker, the secretary of the organiza- tion, has issue] a notice to various members of the league, asking them to assist on the afternoon, and replies are now being re- ceived. All of the bishops and delegates to the Episcc pal convention, now in session in this city, are invited to be present wearing vestments, and a general response is ex- pected. President McKinley has been _in- vited and will doubtless be present. The date and hour of the dedication were prac- tically selected by the President as being the most conven'ent for him.

Thompson, who was chief gun- ‘S$ mate on the U.S. battle ship Texas during the recent war with Spain, has been transferred to duty in the Washington navy yard as instructor to the seamen gun- ners’ class there. Mr. Thompson is only about twenty-three years of age, and is said to be the youngest man who has ever been appointed to the responsible position of instructor in gunnery in the United States navy. The new appointee is a son of the late John L. Thompson, who served in the civil war in the Ist lowa Cavalry and in Hancock's Veteran Corps. His mothér, Mrs. Gladys L. Thompson, is treas- urer of the W. R. C., Department of the Potomac. ———— School Teachers as Visitors. Baltimore school teachers and their friends, several hundred in number, will come to this city tomorrow and visit sev- eral places of interest. The Teachers’ Mu- tual Benefit Association wil conduct the excursion. Miss K. M. Lewis and Miss M. Garthe, who are teachers in the Baltimore schools, made arrangements for the trip and will accompany the party here. It is thelr intention to visit the Capitol, Con- gressional Library, Botanical Gardens, fish commission, National Museum, Smithsonian Institute and the Corcoran Art Gallery. The library will be visited after supper. oe Policeman Stenhouse had a lively time between Pennsylvania avenue and 10th street and the first precinct station last night, when he had Spruce Thompson un- der arrest. Thompson, who was wanted for disorderly conduct, objected to being arrested and struggled to get away. He also assaulted the officer and tore his coat. His escapade cost him $15. The money was paid in court today. REFORM SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. Music, Refreshments and a Capital Address by Bishop Dudley. If the boys of the reform school could last evening have had their way, Bishop Dudley of Kentucky would have been unan- imously elected a Kentucky cardinal, for, since the half-hour talk of John B. Gough many years ago on the same platferm, there has been no more impressive and beautiful address to the boys than that given there last evening by Bishop Dud- ley. Tt was a rare treat to the large audi- ence of boys and of friends of the school. It was at the sacrifice of much comfort that the long ride to and from the school vas taken: but no one of the nearly three hundred boys will ever forget the eloquent presentation made of the nobility of the truthful boy as against the cowardice of the liar. As a framing of this enjoyable address there was music by the boys and by a quartet of young men from the city, led by Mr. D. B. MacLeod of St. Paul's Church. The musical portion of the enter- tainment was greatly enjoyed. Of the board of trustees there were present Col. Cecil Clay, president; Mr. William 8. Thompson, Dr. John E. Carpenter and {ts secretary, Mr. S. W. Curriden. —— EXCURSIONS. The Norfolk and Washingten Steamoont Company has provided one of the most delightful trips that the visiting clergy and sir knights will be able to enjoy during their stay in this city. This is a special excursion tomorrow evening to Fortress Monroe and Nerfolk. One of the elegent steamers of the Norfolk and Washing:on line will leave 7th street wharf tomorrow at 6:30 p.m., arriving at Fortress Monroe early Sunday morning, and reaching this city on the return trip on Monday morning at 6:30 o'clock. This trip gives two nights on the Potomac and Chesapeake, with the entire day Sunday at Fortress Monroe, Norfolk, Newport News, Portsmouth or other nearby resorts, withcut interfering with the attendance vpon the various con- ventions. Strangers in the east will find interest in viewing Hampton Roads, where the famous battle between ‘the Monitor and Merrimac was fought; the navy yard at Norfolk and the shipyards at Newport News, where the huge battle ships Ken- tucky, Kearsarge and Mllinois, the latest additions to Uncle Sam's ravy, are being finished. The clergy and visiting knights who are unable to take this special trip should return home via Fortress Monroe. This can. be done without any marked change of route, as the Norfolk and Wash- ington line |] allow special rates, and at Norfolk connections are made with steamers and trains for all points north, south and west. ‘The visiting knights and their friends who have not yet seen the beauties of ngton will have an opportunity to go to celebrated place very economically y. The Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Raflway Company will again reduce the regular fre for the round trip to Arlington on the coming Sunday. The low rate at which tickets are sold and the convenient schedule on which the eelctric trains run enable practically every one to spend part of Sunday at this beautifal national cemetery. Strangers will find much of interest about the place, in view- ing the graves of General Sheridan and many other of the nation’s illustrious dead. Electric trains leave the station at 13% street and Pennsylvania avenue for Arling- ton on Sunday every forty-five minutes. The electric trains also form the quickest and most convenient rcute to Mount Ver- non, the home and tomb of Washington, leaving every hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and for Alexandria about every forty-five minutes. Strangers in the city who wish to visit Arlington will make a very pleasant trip of it if they take the electric cars at the Aqueduct bridge. These cars can be reach- ed by both the avenue and F street lines, giving a ride thyough the west end of the city and G eae to the bridge. A walk over the bridge in the cool river breezes is to be desired rather than otherwise, and the electric cars on the Virginia side run direct to Arlington and Fort Myer. These cars also form the most convenient route to Falls Church and intermediate points. They leave the bridge about every half hour. —_+—_—_ RECOGNITION. SERVICES. Hyattsville Baptist Charch Formally Received by the Council. The recoguition services of the Hyatts- ville Baptist Church were held In the I. O. 0. F.

The honorary pallbearers were Captain James A. Travers, Captain John Chaun- ey, Major S. D. Newcomb, Privates Fer- dinando Page, S$. H. Decker and E. R. Whitticomb. The remains were borne to the hearse by Colonel Shannon, Captain Fouike and Messrs. Haveile, Crowley, J. J. Appich and J. F. Pitman. The casket was covered with choice flowers. ‘The remains were placed in the receiving vault at Congressional cemetery until such time as they may be removed to Toledo, Ohio, for final interment. — Wants to Leave Town. “Tm guilty, I suppose, but if your honor will let me go I'll never darken the town again,’ was the plea of William T. Gor- man, when arraigned before Judge Scott this morning as a vagrant. ‘Where is your home?" he was asked. “Chelsea, Mass.,”” was his answer. “I'm a saflor, but I’m crippled and have been selling lead penctls.”” “He has been hanging about the Center Market under the influence of liquor for a number of days,” Special Policeman Miles told the court, “and I've seen him stop a number of ladies and ask them fer money.” “Judge, your honor,” pleaded the pris- oner, “‘won’t you let me go this time? I am going right home to my daughter.” “How did you get here?" “Paid my way from Chelsea. The judge said he could not excuse such conduct and imposed a fine of $10. The al- ternative is thirty days on the farm. ——_>— Large sale of furniture from a private residence at Sloan’s, 1407 G st., tomorrow at 10 a.m., rain or shine.—Advt. ges “Got a Little Loud.” “You don’t have to get mad and swear because you can’t find your wife,” Judge Scott told Marion Smith this morning,when the latter had made this excuse. “My wife was in another room hiding from me," was Smith's statement, “and I just naturally got a little loud and swore.” Policeman Walker, who made the arrest, gave the man a good name and the court teok his personal bonds, ITS LABORS ENDED.

It went through with some objection as to the vice president and secretary. One of the importent matters decided at the afternoon session was a change in the by-laws of the assceiation, which permit- ted the convention to select some place other than Washington for the holding of the annual convention. It required a two- thirds vote, but the majority was easily obtained. It was later decided to hold the next convention at Chicago. eae Nees The Lafayette Statue. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Knowing that you are always ready to express the opinion of the citizens of Washington, 1 beg to bring to the attention of the public the fact that on Lafayette day, which was celebrated in such a pe- triotie way by the children of our schools, not even a piece of drapery was put on the monument of that great lover of liberty and of humanity. It 1s a well-known fact that the fund of the city government of Washington {s al- ways smdll, but notwithstanding that fact it seems to me that two or three flags might have been borrowed from some pub- lic building and draped about the statue, so that the passers by might have been ‘re- minded that today the country was cele- brating the anniversary of a notable vic- tory, in which the young rrenchman had taken so great a part. Let us hope that on similar occasion the same neglect will not be apparent. A GOOD AMERICAN. October 19, 1898, es Annual Reunion. The annual reunion of Union M. E.

It was announced at a meeting of the Iinois Republican Association, held last evening at the hall of the Legion of Loyal Women, that a canvass recently made showed that nearly all voters in that state employed in this city were going home to vote, only a few being unable to go. Major McKinley of New York made an address and there was music by a quintet. — Election of Officers. ‘The annual meeting of the Unity Club (incorporated) was held last Wednesday evening at the residence of the president, H.

To the Edttor of Tbe Evening Star: Permit me through your columns to ask John Thompson a question or two. In his article of the 17th he says: “If for grave reasons it is sometimes per- mitted the innocent party to live separate- ly, a divorce may be obtained—so far as it is understood to mean only a separation from bed and board, but divorce in the sense that a divorced person may remarry during the lifetime of his or her partner is forbidden by the law of God."” And, con- continuing, add: “If in this law may be bur- the hardship to the few is small with the immense good derived from this Is y society at large.” Now, whi sh John Thompson to tell me is,'in what manner does society derive the immense amount of good he speaks of? Will society be In any way benetited should an unprincipled scoundrel marry an ino- cent young girl, and then, after some little time, desert’ her—cast her upon the cold mercy of the world? Can he point to one instance where such treachery and | has rebounded to 4hB' good of soci large?

No! fell John Thompson knows it. Woul@: s€ciety tolerate her? Would society derive the immense amount of good, of which Se Bpeaks, if it received her with open ar: winked? Would it not be a thousand #imies better to give her a divorce than to Bake chances of her be- coming lewd?

In that. casé, @od being an equable and just God, the sing should, and will, be borne by the ‘one guilty of the cause of the separation, and not by the innocent one, October 20, 1898. " JOHN D. MARCH. Crap Players Caught. . Watter Edward, Willam Hawkins and Richard Pech,- colored, pleated guilty in the Police Court this morning to a charge of disorderly conduct. “I walked up on these men in Gaither's alley yesterday,’’. Policeman Marshall said, “and they were in a game of fraps. I saw the money and bones on the gtound, but as I caught two of the men I had to let the other evidence go.” “Have you men anything to say?” Judge Scott inquired. “Nothing,” answered one of the prisoners, and the others. shook their heads. “Ten dollars or sixty days each,” said the judge. compare ANTI-SALOON REVIVAL. Fourth of the Bepice of Mr. Beau- champ’s Lectures. “The immediate past,” said Mr. Beau- champ last night, at the anti-saloon revival service, “may be termed ‘the age of the printing press and the types.’ The present is ‘the age of young men.’ This is espe- cially true in America, this land of oppor- tunity, as compared with any of the Euro- pean nations.” The speaker then con- trasted the conditions here, where “the youth of the country belongs to itself,” to those in Germany, where seven years of young manhood must be given to the kaiser. He told in an imprersive way of an experiente there during one of his visits to the Rhine with “the little woman,” his wife. He noticed, he said, that they were followed at a respectfui distance dur- ing thefr- morning walks by a crowd of German boys of ten and twelve and four- teen years of age. One day he succeeded in understanding the call from one of the crowd to a ccmrade within deors In one of the houses they had passed. It was, “He comes f-om America, the land where the poor boy becomes king.” This was given as an illustration of the speaker's assertion “The eyes of the young men of the world are turned toward this country of ours.” He then cited numerous examples of young men now occupying leading positions in various departments of public life in America, and went on to show that such places are open to the poorest boys if they will but meet the con- ditions. First and last among these he discussed “temperance” in a much more temperate way, it was remarked, than ls common at such meetings, but with great earnestness. The only kind of young men that can irdulge in intoxicating drinks, in his esti- mation, is the one whose handshake makes you think you have a dead fish in your grasp, and who, when a boy, would hide himself to eat his apple alone, and when asked by a comrade for the core would reply, “There ain't going to be any core.” “The warm-hearted, generous boy,” he said, “who, given a stick of candy as a child, who wceuld break it at once into pieces for all around, and whoee apple was shared with every comrade, dare not touch the stuff as he values his charce in life.” As to education as an essential to suc- cess, some of his characteristic expressions were, “If you want an education take {t; it’s yours for the asking; it’s yours for the grasping. The worse than wasted dime spent for strong drink would buy a vol- ume, the mastering of which would be an education along some line of useful knowl- edge. The wasted dimes, the spare and wasted hours, are all thai are needed to secure an education.” His next rule for winning success was, ‘Do your best,” and his last one, “Take a lesson from a postage stamp; see how it sticks to its place till it gets there. It's the boy that sticks who wins.” Mr. Beauchamp is to speak again this evening, and asked that “drinking men’ be invited, as he had something to say to them. Mr. Jesse C. Suter, chairman of the com- mittee of arrangements, presided last even- ing, and the devotional exercises were by Rev. Leslie Moore, pastor of the Church of Our Father. Mr. Geo. W. Hayell led -the singing. The ushers were Miss Hattie Homer and Mrs. Kk. Fechner of “Headquarters Y and Mary Drown of Misses Etta Austin and Mabel Callahan of “Le Droit ¥,” and Miss Anna S. Hughes of “First Congregational Y.” The sertes of “‘anti-saloon revival” serv- ices are to continue nightly until Sunday evening inclusive. ———— Lafayette Day at St. Dominic's. ‘The following exercises took place at St. Dominie’s School, on 6th street near E street southwest, as a celebration in honor of Lafayette day. The exercises took place in the large hall, which was well filled by the school childsen and members of the parish. The first on the program was a gong to Lafayette by the little children. This presented a very pretty picture, as all the children were arranged on the stage in the form of a letter “L,” each carrying a small flag. This song was composed by one of the sisters especially for this occa- sion. It was followed by the French air, “The Marseillaise,” and “The Star Spangled Banner” on the plano. The next on the program was a story by Frank Marsden, giving a short hfstory of Lafayette’s connection with this country at the time of the revolution. This was suc- ceeded by the “Spirit of ” rendered by the largest class of boys and girls. The leader was dressed in colonial costume. After this came a recitation by Mary Knighton, “Where Did We Get Our Pretty -Flag?”; the next, “Little Pa- tricts,” which consisted of a march by the smallest children attending the school, each carrying a flag and keeping time with the music, singing “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” with Miss Nellie Knighton as lead- er. They sang “Union Forever” in answer to an encore. The larger class gave a short history of the causes that led to the fight for inde- pendence and recited the preamble to the Constitution of the United States. The speakers in this part were John Knighton, Robt. Hurley, Joseph Fitzgerald, John Parker, Frank Marsden, Edgar Brown, Rochfort Dwyer, Misses O'Neil, Buckley, Frawley, Knighton and Marsden. Then followed a short address by Father O'Rourke, giving a history of the life of Lafayette and his connection with the American fight for independence; also a few words in regard to the manner in which his grave is marked, which gave rise to the Lafayette Monument Association. The ex- ercises were concluded by the pastor, Father Moran, who invited all to the un_ veiling of the monument at Paris, France, July 4, 1900. The music was under the direction of Miss Mamie Webster.

Many situations are secured through the want advertisements in The Star. The cost is but trifling. Fifteen cents pays for fifteen words. a Wants Quickly Filled. At this season, when so many are seek- ing situations, and, on the other hand, so many seeking employes, it is of interest to know that advertisements under the classifications Wanted Help and Wanted Situations are inscrted in The Star at a charge of 15 cents tor fifteen words. a Statue Unveiled. At the Central High School yesterday the statue of the Discobolus was unveiled by Miss Wilson, the superintendent of the art department. Speeches were made by sey- eral of the students who are interested in art or athletics. The statue is life-size and represents the Greek hero in the act of hurling the discus. The original of the statue was by Myroy, and was destroyed many years ago. ‘Three copies were made from the original, one of which is In the Vatican at Rome; one in a palace at Rome, and one in the British Mu- seum.

Tom Smith, a colored resident of the county, who visits friends in Shepherd's several times a week, “rushed the growler” last night, so a policeman told Judge Scott this morning, and was locked up for va- grancy. Policeman Ellis reported that he had ordered Smith to keep out of the alley. “He has been drunk four or five times this month,” the officer said. “Was he too drunk to navigate?” asked counsel. “No, sir,” the officer answered. “Was he unconscious?” Attorney Jones argued that the officer probably had the wrong idea of drunken- y health has been bad,” said Smith, “and I have not taken anything to drink for some time.’ Judge Scott, in response to counsel's ar- gument, said he was not going to encourage young men in going to parts of the city away from their homes and getting drunk. A penalty of $10 or thirty days was im- posed, > Beautiful, Fragrant Violets. Large bunch for 50 F.—Advt. Rexcued and Sentenced. John Butler, an elderly colored man, who works on sand ws on the Jam creek canal, came near falling into the foul stream yesterday and Policeman Maddox arrested him for his own protection. This morning the officer complained to Judge Scott that the old man had been drunk for three weeks, “When he came near losing his life yes- terday,” said the officer, “I thought it was about time to arrest him.” “I went to sleep yesterday,” said the old man, “and because I came near falling in the ‘water the policeman thought I was drunk.” “Don't you ever drink?” the court asked. “Well, judge,” answered the old man, “I does take a dram sometimes. I'se had such a cold lately that I thought a little hot toddy would do me good.” ‘The judge thought a few days on the farm would also do him good, for it would sober him up. A sentence of ten days in default of fine was imposed. Keep in mind that Scott’s Emul- sion contains the hypophosphites. These alone make it of great value for all affections of the nervous system. It also contains glycerine, a most valuable, soothing and healing agent. Then there is the cod-liver oil, ac- knowledged by all physicians as the best remedy for poor blood and loss in weight.
