WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—The commis- sion named by the President to consider questions pertaining to the civil affairs in Cuba and Porto Rico is busily engaged in completing preparations to leave for the islands, the purpose being to sail late next week or early in the following week. Henry ‘C. Curtls, a member of the com- mission, has not arrived from Iowa, but General Kennedy and Charles W. Watson, the other members, are proceeding with | the work. The chief questions before them are those of taxation, public schools, public highways and franchises for pri- | vate enterprises. | At present no personal or realty taxes | are being collected in either island, the former laws having been suspended. With a view to preparing and recommending a desirable system for property taxation | the commission is making a complete com- | pilation of the tax laws of the several | States, to the effect that the best may be { glven Cuba and Porto Rico. The plan | | will be agreed upon after the members of | the commission have visited the islands, | and personally given the conditions thor- | ou{h study. | The questions of public schools and | highways will receive early attention, but it will be necessary to give more imme- diate attention to the applications for franchises which have accumulated in a great mass through the War De- partment. All applications for fran- chises of a_ quasi public nature are| referred by the department to the com- mission_and the latter must pass upon them. To date the capital represented by the applicatic on file aggregates $80,.u0,- | 000, among the applications béing one for the construction of a railway frem the eastern to the western end of Cuba, a dis- | tance of 600 mil The commission has not determined upon its itinerary, but it probably will go first to Cuba.

PICTURE HIM AS A MODEL REV. H. T. SHEPARD'S LESSON FROM HIS LIFE. Lays Stress on the Absolute Truth- fulness and Uprightness of the First President of the Republic. The Rev. Dr. H. T. Shepard, pastor of the Olivet Congregational Church, at Seventeenth and Noe streets, took the life of Georg> Washington for the subject of his sermon last evening. We shall commemorate Washington’s birthday next Wednesday,” he said. ‘‘To- day let us study his life and find out how he became so great. Washington, in the first place, was raised by God-fearing par- ents, who when he was yet almost an in- fant taught him the Lord’s Prayer and Biblical texts, and as he grew older they further directed him in the right way, so that his conscience would be sensitive to right and wrong dolni. “It was noticeable that as a boy every- might, and that even at his studies he never wasted his time, but recognized the advantage of obtaining a good education. in life as a surveyor. HIs strong person- ality and ability caused other men with whom he came in contact to respect him, | and he was looked upon as a leader by | em. “Lord Fairfax, who was sent over to | America as a high official by King George 111, reposed the greatest confidence ' in 'Washington, and early in his career predicted that Washington would be a| man among men. We all know how Wash- ington became the first President of the | United States, and how he was both pat- | riotic and Christianlike. He was a lover | first of God and secondly of his country. “Let us take Washington as a model to copy from him, and in our lives recognize we _can never be successful except by | God’s help and guidance.” Rev. Frederick C. Lee’s Sermon. Rev. Frederick C. Lee, pastor of the! California-street M. E. Church, preached a stirring sermon on the life of Washing- | ton last night. The church was crowded. | “You will admit,” he safd, “that Wash- ington was the greatest soldier-statesman that ever lived.

Birds by the Score Fell Under the Gunners’ Aim, but a Few Score Also Escaped Without Damage. Members of the Olympic Gun Club “en- joyed” a live bird shoot in the broiling sun yesterday. Although the heat was deprecated and the sun's rays criticized, both came in handy. Poor shots said the shimmering of the sun’s rays on the gleaming barrels was responsible for their ill luck; experts took pride In referring to their records for the same reason. Jack Fanning redeemed himself and bested all opponents. Eddie Bald, the famous eyeler, also added to his fame. He crept into the moneg once or twice, and then pronounced shooting the most sporty sport extant. In the first six bird match Ed Fay got 5 birds, Fanning 5, Gaines 5 and Kitttle- jman 4. In this match it will be noticed that Gaines stood even. with the ‘‘cracks,” but_in_subsequent events he fell down hard. Both barrels would go off at once, he would get a second bird on a snap o the first barrel, but the bird invariably se- cured its liberty without material dam age. In the second match, one of twelve birds, Fanning made a clean record, killing his dozen “clean,” but not witnout using a second barrel on seven occasions. Unlucky Gaines secured bug 5, while Bald, who entered this match, got 6, a rair record for Bald, but he did even better in the next contest. Kitttleman landed 6, and Nauman landed close to the money with 10 to his credit. Although Bald only winged 8 birds out of his 12 In the next match, this evas great work for him and he was jubilant. He promises to kill all with his first barrel next Sunday, and, as he made the promise | after killing 7 birds straight, many are | inclined to believe him, although a few are doubtful. In this match Fanning got 11, Nauman 11, Goicher § and Gaines 9. I the next six bird match Fanning killed 6, Nauman 6, Golcher §, Kittleman 4 and Galnes, with usual luck, 3. Gaines and Kittleman then shot for the champlonship, others not participating. Kittleman got 5. The record was not plain regarding aines' score, but in any event he pald Kit Gatines says another Sunday Is coming, however, ahd Gaines had better practice on all opportunities between now and then. «MEMBERSHIP DAY.” Dr. Locke Inveighs Against Brutal Bicycle Races. Yesterday was celebrated as ‘“Member- ship day” at the Central Methodist Ep! copal Church, of which Dr. Charles Ed- ward Locke is pastor. The special evan- | gelistic meetings which have been held | in this church for the last two weeks culminated in a service of great beauty and impressiveness. was administered to children, after which a class of twenty persons was received into full membership. When the invitation was cordially ex- tended by Dr. Locke for people to join Central Church eighty persons crowded | around the chancel and gave their names G to_the pastor. Last evening in his sermen Dr. Locke | indulged in some sharp words of denun- | clation concerning the six-day bicycle race in the Mechanics’ Pavilion. “Since last Monday evening,” he said, “a company of young men have been sub- jecting themselves to a test of physical endurance which, in all the record of bi: cycle riding on this coast, is unprecedent. ed in barbarism and- inhumanity. The 00 | contestants have ridden their wheels con- tinually, only stopping to rest when, from sheer exhaustion, they fall or are | taken from their machines. When they | are nearly overcome with sleep tin cans are mercilessly beaten in their ears and | every expediency is resorted to to keep them in the race. 8 ‘“‘As the race nears the end it is reported that many of the competitors are suffer- in? from delirium, because of this ter- rific mental as well as physical strain, and it 18 certain that many of these poor ferlows will not for a long time, and, per- | haps, never, recover from this frightful tax upon their nervous systems. “‘Some sporting men about the city have been heard to denounce this bicycle race because of the atrocity of this heart- less and inhuman contest. I am told that pool-rooms about the track are crowded with those who are gambling on the race. Is it not exasperating that there is not such a mighty protest of pub- lic opinion as to make such public spec- tacles an {mpossibility? And, behold, too, this abomination of Sabbath break- ing. All through this holy day and this evening a wild throng has made and is making the Pavilion a gateway of hell.
