st. Valentines Mail Falling on.

st. Valentines day is commemorated in
good style this year." said prominent book
seller to REPUBLICAN reporter last night.
The designs are novel and pretty, and the
old style valentine is disappearing fast The
proper thing now is a neat card with q popu-
lar sentimental quotation printed on it.
These cost from 2 cents to 81. There are
some of still more elaborate design which
cost from So to $50, although the former sell
the best Now, there Is one" said he, point
ing to large card cxqulsitely embroidered
with one Of Tennyson's illustrated poems.
"that sells for $l2, and large number
are sold dent sell any comic valentines
this year, rs they seem to have fallen into
disrepute. There's large profit in them, but
| will not sell them"
At the city postofIice the clerks were
busily employed in sorting the mails that
came in. 1t was learned that the rush caused
by st. Valentines day was very slight.
Mr.. Griffin, tho assistant superintendent, said
that there was but little doing, and less mat
| ter being sent this year than ever before.
The valentines arc sent in envelopes as a
rule, and there are but few packages handled.

ncnIh nf Col. Edward Eimns.

Col. Edward Simms died at his residence
last night about 11:30 o'clock at the ad'
vanced age of 90 years. Col. Simms was one
of the most prominent, as he was one of the
oldest, residents of Washington. He had
lived in this city since 1t was founded, and
held many positions Of honor and profit. He
was one Of the defenders of Washington in
1914 against the British, and participated
with gallantry in the battles Of Bladensburg
and Long Old Fields. Col. Simms was gen.
tleman esteemed by all who knew him a
model citizon in all the relations of life, and
one Of the few links that connected the pres
ent with the far distant.

The programme of the Remepyi entertain
ment last evening at the Congregational
church included some exquisite selections
and the fashionable gathering testified its
appreciation with frequent applause. The
ever popular aria, 80 Luce Di Quest Auima'
Of Donizetti, was 30 artistically rendered by
Miss Esther Butler that she was honored by
an encore. The piano solo of Mr.. Isidore
LuckstOne was a performance worthy of that
finished artist OF the violin playing OF
Prof. Remenyi 1t would be almost super.
fiuous TO speak. As an executor of violin
music he has had few superiors, and there are
none whose performances are more pleasing.
Mr.. Decelle, who completes the list of par
ticipants in the programme, sang with of.
feet, and he appeared to great advantage in
the finishing duet with Miss Butler.

FAIR HARVARD.
First Dinner OF the Harvard Alumni As
ISOLATION at wormley's.

The FIRST dinner of the Harvard Alumni of
the District of Columbia was held at Worm
ley's last night. Although the oldest Of col
leges the graduates of Harvard resident in
the district have been the last to form IN
alumni association, but the enjoyment eX-
perienced at its first reunion indicates that
the time loCt will be made up in genuine
good fellowship and warm fraternal feeling.
The gathering last night included many
men whose regulations are national, and all
expressed their devotion to their alma mater,
some in eloquent prose and others in stirring
poetry. At tho head of tho table sat the
president OF the association, Mr.. John A.
King, while opposite him was the secretary,
Hon. Geo. b. Loring, commissioner of agri-
culture. The other guests were Judge VIM.

The menu was one of those choice triumphs
Of the cuisine which has made Wormley's the
resort of epicures, and the table presented a
handsome appearance lavishly decorated
with flowers, while around the room were
potted plants adding to the attractivoness OF
the scene. When the dessert arrived Presi-
dent King called the company to order
and paid glowing tribute TO the
worth of Harvard college and her influence
in every department of tho government,
saying that her sons had done more in
shaping the legislation of the country than
those of any other university. Hon. John
ID. Long followed in a similar strain, and
then Commissioner Loring gave sono inter-
esting "reminiscences of the presidents of
Harvard-Quincy, FELTON,, Walker, and Eliot
closing by proposing tho health Of the present
progressive president, who has given the col
lego an impetus IL had not before known, and
who has clearor idea of the thoughts and the
needs of young men from an educational
standpoint than any former president.
Speeches were also made by Hon. Dorman
r. Eaton, Judge Richardson, Hon. Theodore
Lyman, Judge Lander, Gen. Anderson
Messrs. J. Lewis Stackpole, A. A. Hayes

Mr. Walker Blaine's speech he proposed the
health of yale college, the sister university
OF Harvard" which was drunk amid great
enthusiasm. College songs were sung, and il
was late before the company separated.

THE TRIMBLE EXTRADITIoN.
Secretary Frelinghuyscn's Report De-
fining tho Presidents Powers. =

inning tho Gresluchps foWers q
The report of tho secretary of state upon
the Trimble extradition case was sent the
senate yesterday. Trimble was an American
citizen, arrested in Texas for crimes commit
ted in Mexico. The government of tho latter
country demanded his extradition, which
this government did not grant. The pres
ent treaty with Mexico provides for the
extradition of criminals but expressly
states that neither government is bound
to extradite its own citizens. A question
arose as to whether outside of treaty obliga-
tions, the President had the power to surren-
der an American citizen according to the
comfy of nations. A precedent for such
