There are two rooms in the little building and in them the aged men have lived for a long iime. Beeause of the many visitors to the house, turday nights and Sundays, the suspicions of the police were aroused.

William Webster's Case to Be Heara Next Wednesday. At the request of Mr. S. D. Truitt, coun- sel for the defendant, the trial of William Webster, indicted for murder, set for today in Criminal Court No. 2, postponed un- til Wedne . Mr. Truitt’s request was based on the ground that he received notice that the trial would occur today too late to secure the attendance of all the witne: for the defendant. Webster is one of a number of prisoners under indictment for murder. The under- standing is that no trial for murder will oc- cur until the Supreme Court of the United States disposes of the question affecting the orstruction of law covering murder cases in the District of Columbla. Webster will be placed on trial, however, for the reason that the government means to abandon the more serious charge and attempt te Webster guilty of manslaughter. 4 Shillington and L: se. Webster last June was on duty at a lawn party in Anacostia as special watchman. A number of small boys caused considera ble annoyance, it is claimed, and Webster kicked one of them, James Shoemaker.

Johnson Ellis, colored, cook {n a lunch room near Pennsylvania avenue and 1314 street, had a row with William Williams, also colored, who is a waiter in the same establishment, about 10 o'clock yesterday morning. It is said the difficulty was the result of the cook's logs of temper, when the waiter tried to hurry him. ‘The charge made was that the men had a row and all was apparently over, but a few minutes later a knife and cup were thrown. The result was that Williams received a painful scalp wound. Policeman Doyle responded to a call for help and arrested Ellis. Williams taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment.

SAENGERBUND'S CONCERT.—The first public concert this season of the Washing- ton Saengerbund took place last night, and, notwithstanding the bad weather, the house was filled with an intelligent and en- thusiastic audience. The program was one of the best ever presented by this organiza- tion, and the bund itself never appeared to better advantage. It appeared in two num- bers, and sang with precision and effect. The members phrased in excellent style, and the parts appeared to be better bal- anced than usflal. This marked improve- ment in their work testified strongly to the intelligent training of Mr. Henry Xander, the musical director. Mr. Frank Reb- stock's bass solo was sung in good form and with clear enunciation. The orchestral work was better than usual, the “Der Freischutz” selection being unusually well played. The soloists were Mrs. Morton of Baltimore, soprano; Mr. Morsell, tenor: Mr. Miersch, ‘cellist, and Mr. Rakemann, violin- ist. Mrs. Morton was a newcomer, and she created a favorable impression by the dis- tinetness of her utierance and clearness of tone. Mr. Morsell was artistic, as he ways is, and received a deserved recall. Mr. Rakemann’s skill is weld known, but he last night played with a spirit and dash that completely captured his audience and evoked an earnest request for more, which was not, however, complied with. Mr. Miersch, one of the best ‘cellists in the country, was warmly greeted on his ap- pearance, and his artistic playing aroused positive enthusiasm. A trio by Messrs. Rakemann, Miersch and Xander was one of the most enjoyable = bers of the even- ing. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Xander, who not only conducted the entire concert, but acted as accompanist to all the soloists, and also sustained the piano part in the trio in a most admirable manner. That the audience fully appre- ciated the program was evidenced by the hearty applause given each number and the frequency of the encores. The Saenge bund is to be congratulated on such a s cessful inauguration of this season's con- certs. VALENTINE ABT—Tomorrow night Mr. Valentine Abt, a mandolin virtuoso, will give a concert at the Universalist Church. He will be assisted by Messrs. Collins and Cullen, banjoists; the Eldorado Mandolin Quartet, the Madrid Quartet and Mrs. C B. Bayley, jr. The program will be a’ ranged so that Mr. Abt will show the pos- sibilities of the mandolin, for among his solos will be the andante from Mende sohn's Concerto Op. 64, Ries’ Perpetual Motion, Wieniowski’s “Souvenir de Posen,” Mendelssohn's “Spring Song” arranged as a duo for one mandolin, and several of his own compositions. Messrs. Cullen and Col- lins will play four selections, the quartets one each, and Mrs. Bayley will sing Masch- eroni's “For All Eternity,” with a mando- lin obligato by Mr. Abt. LUNCHEON AT WILLARD HALI.— A luncheon will be given at Willard Hall Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week by Chancel Chapter of Trinity Protes- tant Episcopal Church. The ladies having the affair in charge are making every ef- fort to have it one of the best of its kind. A good ju is promised and the servi: will be ail that can be desired. The » rorage, It Is hoped, will be generous e+ day. The lunch will be from noon to ¢ yp. m., and all the business men in that vi- cinity should find {t convenient to drop in. CONCERT AT WESLEY CHAPEL. The participants tn the program at the con- cert tomorrow evening at Wesley Chapel willl be Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith, Mrs. Grace Dufour Brown, Miss Florence Me- Nelly, Miss Minnie Bailey, Mr. Perry B. Turgin, Mr. J. Walter Humphrey, Mr. An- ton Ka: M Arthur D. Mayo, M Henney and Prof. Wilbur —— TING PRE! House & Herrmann’« Affords Every Opportunity for Gift Seekers. “What am I to get for Chris ents? How am J to spare the money for all I want to get?” These two questions are now troubling many a man and woman. Both can be easily answered. The answer to cach is found at the immense furniture establishment of House & Herrmann, cor- ner of 7th and I streets. It is fashionable this year to include furniture in the list of Christmas presents. Above fashion, how- ever, is the good sense shown by a person in buying something useful or ornamental, something that will Jong remain as a testi- monial of thoughtfulness and regard. The first and troublesome question as to what to get will not remain unanswered afte: a few minutes spent in the big estab- lishment which is so favorably known to thousands of Washingtonians. There every conceivable piece of furniture for the home will be found. The hundreds of things to select from easily suggest something ap- propriate, exactly fitted to what a person has in mind. If it is a man hunting for a present, he will find beautiful onyx table bric-a-brac, vases, busts, parlor lamps, writing desks, bookcases, china closets, toi- let tables, parlor tables, brary table cheval glasses, picturer, mirrors and a hu dred other things; dinner sets, pretty chairs for any room, every! fact, to make wife, mother, daughter, si: ter or aunt feel happy in the good taste that has been exhibited. For a lady, besides many of the useful articles already enumerated, there will be found comfortable Morris chairs, easy chairs of all kinds, substantia! book cases desks for the man of the house to put in his work rocm—in fact, anything which male kind may have expressed a desire for. The important question of the money with which to get what is destred will be solved immediately by House & Herrmann telling the customer to pick what he or she may want and pay for it on the easiest terms. The advantage of this ts that no extra charge is made to those who seek and ob- tain the liberal credit terms which are of- fered. Jf spot cash should be tendered the terms would be no easier. Because all goods handled by the firm are marked at prices which are better than can be secured in the largest cities of the country. Especial and careful preparations were made by the firm to accommodate a large Christmas trade, and the indications now are that the number of customers will ex- ceed any Christmas season in the history of the hot se. —_—_—>— Remember Your Fotographs For Christmas. Prince, Pa. ave. & 11th st.— Advertigement. a Compliment to Prof. Layton. The Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, which has a seating capacity of 1,800, was filled Friday night by people who turned out to show their appreciation of the efforts of Prof. John T. Layton in musical circles, and, a8 stated, of his Mmfluence in “all that tends toward the uplifting of humanity.” An exéellent program was rendered. Prof Layton has served as director of Metropolitan A. M. E. choir for the past twenty-four years, and has been employed as teacher of music in public schools of Washington for fifteen years. He nas now charge of the music in the High School and eighth grade. Just after the professor sang a solo, ac- companied by Dr. Geo. Walter, organist of the Jewish synagcgue, Dr. J. A. Johnson, in a very neat little speech, presented him with a list of testimonials, and, in behalf of the senior choir of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, a handsome Knight Templar’s pin. Prof. Layton responded in fitting terms, as- suring his friends of his appreciation of their testimonial and of continued efforts in their interest. The junior choir of the church presented him a mammoth bouquet of choice roses and carnations. ——.__ Coal Firewood. S. S. Daish & Son, 705 12th st. n.w.—Aadvt. ee Meeting of Headquarters Y.

Addreaxen bysSenator Mason and Rev. Dr. Fiske, Respectively—List of Deeeased Members. Impvessive memerial services were held at the Columbia @heater yesterday after- noon by Washington Lodge, Order of Elks. During the solemn service the storm could be heard without, the melancholy sound of the rainfall strangely in keeping with the character of the anniversary meeting. The theater was well filled despite the raging elements that were pouring all the afternoon, there being a very large repre- sentation of Washington Lodge. A- sacred overture by Tobain, and rendered by the Academy of Music Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Chris. Arth, jr., opened the service, after which impressive cere- monies were conducted by Esteemed Lead- ing Knight Albert Sillers. Seated on the stage with the presiding of- ficer were Senator. Mason, Rev. Dr. J. Al- exander Specht and Rey. Dr. A. 8. Fiske, the latter pastor of Gunton Temple Me- morial Chureh. ‘The stage was simply and prettily decorated with palms, while to the right of the presiding officer there was a large cross, made brilliant with electric lights. Wen the service was begun each light represented a departed member of the lodge, and when Secretary Richard A. O'Brien read in a clear voice the name of the revered dead the lights were extin- guished, one by one, until the last had gone out. This symbol of the departure of be loved members of the order was follow by the singing of the order's ode: “Great Ruler of the universe, AN seeing and benign, Look down upon and biess our work, And be all glory Thine! “Oh! hear our prayers for the honored dead dead While bearing in our minds The memories graven on each heart For ‘Auld Lang Syne.’ Dr. J. Alexander Specht offered after which Adams’ “The Holy was sung in a most impressive man- ner by T. H. Maxwell, accompanied by Prof. W. J. Oates. Senator Mason's Address. It was expected that Representative De Vries, a member of the order, would arrive in the city in time to deliver the memorial address, but at tne last hour it was learn- ed that he could not be present, and Sena- tor Mason of Mlinois spoke in keeping with the occasion. Senator Mason remarked that he had been made an Elk only two weeks ago, but he had a deep appreciation of the beneficent influence of that order upon its members, and paid a splendid tribute to the organization and to the de- ceased members, for whom the ser’ held. AN over the land, he said, Elks at that hour were gathered in memorial ser- Vices for their dead, and all over the there was sadness 4 mong the 50,60 living Members at the thought that ‘their ae- parted brothers, would never a: join im their fraternal meetings on The in- Mience of the order of Hiks, he said, was to make better fathers, better husbands and better citizens, and he felt that its princi- ples would tend to make him a better pub- lic servant. “Nearer, My God, To Thee’? was sung by the Rossini Cirele, composed of Miss A. Dy Murray, L. Gr: t; Mr. H. M. Hoskins, violinist, and . J. Oates, ‘celloist. Dr. Fiske's Tribute. Pp second address of the praise was de- A. S. Fiske, pastor of a Memorial Ch h, who said he heartily approved of the princi of che Order of F1 and although he w not a member of that order, he had a high a tion of the good that might be ac- d through ics instrumentality. He erred to its salient principles, and in speaking of justice, as exemplificd‘in the workings of the order, he made reference to the war which bad been fought during the last summer fgr the cause of justice. It was unique in history, he said, as being a conflict waged with no hope of gain or greed of aggrandizement, and Ss results would, he said, be as beneficent to man- kind as its motives were pure. “A Dream of Paradise,” by G was rendered by M omas I. Jones, accom- panied by Miss Emma Bishop, pianist, and Prof. Arthur E, Yundt, violinist. The Concluding Ceremonies. The closing ceremonies were especially beautiful as led by Esteemed Leading Knight Sillers. Following the mystic cere- monials, Lang's Flow Song was rendered by the Madrid Quartet, composed of Profs. Arthur E. Yundt and W. V. Holmes and Messrs. Edgar Holcer and Herman Rich- ards. The plaintive wail of the violin and the mandolins in the rendition of the Flower Song was made the more impres- sive by the lowering of the lights, and in closing the solemn service the lodge and audience sang the long meter doxology, the memorial ceremony being concluded’ by Rev. Dr. J. Alexander Specht, who pro- nounced the benediction. During the past year Wm, Williams, Jos. E. Rawlings and James H. Costello’ were numbered among the dead of Washington lodge. The first name on the lodge’s list of departed members is that of Wm. S. Buchly, who died January 19, 1883. The committee in charge of the services yesterday afternoon was composed of John ©.
