Address by Miss Jewitt at Israel Bap- tist Charc! iss Lillian Clayton Jewitt, a white wo- man of Boston, addressed an audience at Israel Baptist Church, on 11th street north- east, last night, her theme being “Lynch- ing Must Be Stopped.” The meeting was heid under the auspices of the Star of the East Club, of which Mr. L. G. Fletcher, a lifelong friend of the late Frederick Doug- lass, is president. President Fletcher and others had seats on the platform. The meeting opened with singing’ of “America,” after which Elder Robertson offered prayer. Rey. John Burke, the pastor of the church, then introduced the speaker of the evening, Who stated that the future looked brighter since a white woman was appealing to the country to stop lawle: and lynching. Miss Jewitt opened by a graphic portrayal of the assassination of Postmaster Baker, a coored man, and a part of his family by a mob at Lake City, S. C. In 1898, she said, there were 127 |ynchings in the United States, 108 being “in the south, and 102 of the 108 victims being negroes.’ Only twen- ty-four were accused of crimes against wo- men, the other charges being sixteen for murder, thirteen for suspected murder and six for theft. Twenty-two whites and two Indians were lynched that year, nine being in the north and west. In one week thirteen negroes were lynched in the south, not one of whom was charged with outrage, the crimes alleged being either murder or housebreaking. As the colored troops rendered such mag- nificent service at San Juan, Miss Jewitt id, let your people strive with the same spirit for your future protection. Resolutions which were offered by Prof. J. W. Coles and adopted were highly com- mendatory of Miss Jewitt, who was termed “another Harriet Beecher Stow and it was decided to organize an anti-lynching league, to be known as the Lillian Clayton Jewitt Anti-Lynching League of North- east Washington. This was accomplished by electing Rev. John Burke president, Mrs. T. R. Hill vice president, W. R. Patte: secretary, Miss May Fletcher istant cretary and A. B. Wesley treasurer. The southern bureau of the Anti-Lynch- ing League has been established in this gity, Rooms were opened today in Parlor Capital Savings Bank Building, 600 F street northwest. —_+—___ Marriage Licenses.

The hall was tastefully draped with flags, and the flowers gave the at- mosphere the fragrance of June. The guests were welcomed by the president, Miss Wilkes, and by the wife of the rector, Mrs. Mackay-Smith. The dainty tables were filled with seasonable delicacies and were presided over by the hospitable host- esses. The musicale was of high order, in- cluding vocal duets and solos by Miss Cayce, Mrs. Young, Miss Hoecke and Mr. Hensey. Miss Raynal contributed a violin solo and Mr. Mayo a piano solo.

NEW EVIDENCE OF THE EFFECT. A South Dakota man, W. A. Dawley, Sturgis, explains the condition some men get into from coffee inking. Let it be understood that coffee seems to agree with some peuple well enough, but when a@ person finds it does not agree, it is better to leave it off. He says: “I used coffee about twenty years, and quit {t September 30, 1808. I had become ost a complete wreck, thin in flesh and emaciated, dyspepsia and indigestion of the worst order, nerves shattered, no appetite, slept very little and my blood was so thin that the slightest breeze chilled me through. © “Medicines gave no relief; 1 had about given up, when I finally concluded to investigate and see if it was realiy trua, as I bad read in a number of your statements, that coffee acted like a poison to some people. It wi an easy matter to leave off coffee when I took Postum Food Coffee, for the food coffee tasted as good as the other, and to my surprise, it set good on my weak stomach. “I have been buying the Postum through my gro- cer, Mr, Jas. Meyer, and always have followed di- rections carefully. I Mked ft from the first and have drank Postum three times a day ever since. Have gained twenty pounds in weight, my appetite is better than ever before, my sleep perfect, dys- pepsia is a thing of the past and my nerves are what they cheuld be. I can youch for the state- ment that Fostum Food Coffee ‘makes red blood’ and plenty of {t. My son, Amos Dawley, of this city, has been completely cured of dyspepsia in three months by quitting cotfee and using Postum Food Coffee. This is given you as an honest testi- monial of the priceless value of your (to me) life-saving food drink. You are welcome to use my Bame if you want,” Respectfully, WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF LAW. Attorney Duvall Advises Quashing of Certain Assessments. In the case of Mr. G. F. Williams, who, as attorney for Messrs. Charles Newburgh and Augustus Kuhner, requested the Dis- trict Commissioners to cancel the reassess- ments made June 7, 1897, of certain spe- cial assessments against sublot 29, square 803, Mr. A. B. Duvall, the attorney for the District, has advised the Commisssioners to grant the request. From Mr. Duvall's opinion it appears that these special assessments were quashed and canceled by judgment in certiorari Febru- ary 8, 1805, at the suit of C. D. Scheuch and John Steinle, trustees, then the owners of the lot, and that a copy of said judg- ment, lodged with the special assessment clerk, incorrectly described the square as 804. "The attention of the Commissioners was called to this fact, but no corrected judgment was returned to that office, and consequently the special assessments against the property in question were not entered canceled on the records. Subsequently, March 17, 1807, Mr. B. Pick- man Mann, who had become the owner of the property, being ignorant of the prior judgement quashing the assessments, ob- tained a second Judgment in certiorari to quash the assessments. This latter judg- ment being duly reported to the special assessment clerk, the special assessments were reassessed under the act of Congress of April 24, 1896. It is now claimed that these reassessments are void and should be canceled, because made without authority of law. In the judgment of Attorney Duvall the point is well taken. The reassessment law, he states, is not retroactive in its opera- tion, it was not in force when the taxes were quashed in the first certiorar! pro- ceedings, and the judgment in that case ef- fectually canceled the assessments. “There was,” says Mr. Duvall, “no occa- sion for the second proceeding in certlorart. ‘There were no existing assessments upon which it could operate. This second pro- ceeding seems to have been taken in ig- norance of the prior proceeding. The judg- ment in the second proceeding could af- ford no ground for reassessment of the special assessments. I am of the opinion that the appiication should be granted.” —_>—_—_. FUNERAL OF HENRY D. CLARKE. Was Supreme Court Librarian for Thirty Years. Henry D. Clarke, one of the oldest and best-known employes of the Supreme Court of the United States, and an upright and public-spirited citizen, died in this city Mon- day. Mr. Clarke was born sixty years ago in New York city, and after a few years spent there was reared and educated by Gen. Winfield Scott, who had him with him while he was superintendent of West Point. Gen. Scott afterwards took him with him on many of his travels, both In this country and abroad. An historle engraving of Gen. Scott and his staff, of which but a few copies are extant, shows Mr. Clarke, then a youth, standing at the side of the general. Salmon P. Chase appointed Mr. Clarke to a position in the Treasury Department, af- terwards transferring him to the New York customs service, and then, when he became chief justice, had Mr. Clarke made librarian of the Supreme Court law library, which position he has held continuously every since, a period of thirty years. Mr. Clarke was the author of a Book of Supreme Court Decision His wife, who was Miss Elizabeth Cunningham of New York city, and three sons—Winfield Scott, Oscar De Forrest and Morrison Waite Clarke—survive him. The funeral Ist take place from his late residence tomorrow morning, the services to be conducted by the Rev. Dr. George N. Luccock, pastor of the Metropolitan Presbyterian whose congregation Mr. Clarke was a mem- ber. The Interment will be in Congressional metery. “Hand ——__.+—_ GEORGETOWN'S MUSICAL CLUBS. Concert Tonight at the New National Theater. The Georgetown glee concert and dra- matic performance, which will take place this evening at the National Theater, will prove the most conspicuous appearance of the Georgetown boys in an amusement en- terprise in the history of the college. In- dications are that the audience will be a notable one in point of size and social dls- tinction. It wes expected by the manage- ment that President and Mrs. McKinley would attend, but a communication re- ceived this morning from the White House announced that they would not be able to be present. Members of the legations and prominent representatives of legislative circles will be present. ‘The athletic team, from which the Paris representatives will be chosen, and the base ball team will oc- cupy boxes. Other students will attend in a bedy, and there will be no lack of enthu- siasm. A beautiful souvenir program, containing records of some of the ph of George- town's historic movement to gain a world- wide reputation for her athletes by send- ing them to compete at the Paris expost- tion games, will be presenled to each per- ttending the concert. the glee chorus and mandolin, tra numbers there will be p soloists the three well-known college singers, Mr. George O'Connor, Mr. O'Gorman and Mr. Scanthing. The’ dra. matic sketch will be an exciting and very clever one-act drama, entitled 1871," adapt- ed from Daudet. Tickets will be on sale this afternoon at Sanders & Stayman’s and this evening at the box office en The Corcoran Gallery of Art. At the recent quarterly meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art it was decided to allow the use of the walls of the second floor hall or court tor the display of such paintings and draw- ings as cannot be accommodated in the hemicycle room on the occasion of the pro- posed exhibition of local art, to be held on or about the first of May. This affair is in the hands of a committee of accomplished and enthusiastic ladies, and will doubtless be not only an interest- ing and instructive exposition of local achievements tn the fleld of art, but a social event of more than ordinary attraotiveness. It is understood that the exhibition will open with a full-dress evening card recep- tion, with music, ete. The matter of filling the vacancy occa- sioned by the death of Dr. Barbarin, late Curator of the Gallery, was disposed of by changing the title of that office from Cu- rator to Director, and electing Mr. Fred- erick B. McGuire to the position. Mr. Mc- Guire will continue to be a member of the Beard of Trustees, and its Secretary as well, and, by the closer connection with its affairs thus established, he will be the bet- ter able to advance its interests,—a serv- ice for which he is, by reason of his inti- mate knowledge of and fondness for eve branch of art, most admirably qualified. The public and the Gallery are therefore alike to be congratulated on the result thus accomplished, = Receives News of Father's Death. Police Officer Edward Stahl of the Ana- costia police station has recelyed word of the sudden death of his father, Hugo Stahl, at Tubingen, Germany, aged nearly seventy- one years. The deceased was a widely known citizen of his section. Besides Officer Stahl another son is in the United States, being a resident of Chicago. —+__—_ Resigns His Position.

Prosecuting Attorney's View of Pro- posed Change in Regulations. Mr. Burton H. Meade several days ago suggested to the District Commissioners that the police regulations be am:nded by striking out the word “needless” in line 2 of article 9, so that the section shall read as follows 0 person within the District of Columbia shall make any noise or out- cry for the purpose of advertising warzs or attracting the attention or inviting the patronage of any person for any hack or other vehicle, or any business whatever,” ete. & The result of this amendment, said Mr. Mead>, would be to prohibit the hucksters from crying their wares on the streets, and he expressed himself as being confident that every citizen of the District would in- dorse the action of the Commission:rs if they should approve his suggestion. The crying huckster, he declared, is no longer a necessity here, the facilities for rapid transit to and from the large marksts, the abundance of corner groceries and small markets throughout the city and the con- venience of the telephone and other present- day Institutions having brought about a condition of domestic s:conomy in which the itinerant vender no longer plays a_neces- sary part. His existence today, in Mr. Meade's opinion, constitutes a nuisance and a discomfort for which there is no possible excuse. The Commissioners referred Mr. Meade’: communication to Mr. James L. Pugh, jr., the District's prosecuting attorney in’ the Police Court, for an opinion as to what ef- fect the change would have if made in prosecuting the cases referred to in that tribunal. Today Mr. Pugh reported to the Commissioners that in his opinion the pro- posed amendment should not be made. It was the law, stated Mr. Pugh, up to a few years ago that no noise or other outcry should be made by hucksters, ete., on the streets, but the trouble arose, he explained, in enforcing its provisions in the Police Court. Thé judges in every case, he said, required some showing that the outcry was needless and unusually loud and disturbing to the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. The Commissioners have Mr. Meade’s sug- gestion still under consideration. —_>__. Justice Bradley’s Miness. The serious illness of Judge A. C. Bradley of the District Supreme Court continues at his home in this clty.

A number of the young ladies of Assem- bly’s Presbyterian Church, isted by Rev. Dr. and Mrs. G. P. Wilson, tendered @ reception to the congregation and friends Monday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. McLaughlin, 900 M street northwest, who generously opened their home for that purpose. The rooms were beautifully decorated and brilliantly illu- minated in honor of the occasion. About 200 guests were present and a season of social intercourse was held. Music was one of the principal features, solos being rendered by Miss Reynolds, Miss Kimball, Mrs. Eugene Brown and Mr. John Mc- Michael, Miss Alice Kimball presiding at the piano. A mandolin club rendered some pleasing selections. Refreshments were served in the large dining room. The success of the reception was espe- cially due, it is said, to Miss Bessie Slater, chairman of the committee, whose devoted labors-in this and previous undertakings have resulted in materially augmenting the finances of the church. She was ably assisted by Miss Helen Willis, Mrs. A. L. Smith, Mrs. F. L. Willis, Mrs. M. Mc- ‘Laughlin, Miss Eva Kemp and others of the ladies; also by Messrs. H. and R. Pipes and Galbraith.
