THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS.

Lifting the Ran from Secret Societies.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-THE Sur says:
Probably the most radical thing that
trauspred through the assembling of the
frst Catholic Congress is in regard to
secret societies. The Catholic Church
has long been regarded as an implacable
foe Of every society without it's owu pale;
now it appears that the ban OF the church
will be lifted absolutely from every sort
of secret organizations except the Masonic
order. That the objection to the Masonic
brotherhood will also be raised is con.
fidentIy expected by those in the secret.
II is saidito be only matter of twelve
mouths or so before any man may openly
avow himself member of the Ancient
Order OF Free and Accepted Mssons as
well as faithful member of the Catholic
Church.
An interesting feature of the Catholic
celebration was the torchlight procession
$4,000 persons being in line. Nearly
every residence on the line of march was
Illuminated, aud the Cardinals residence
presented magnificent spectacle. from
the front Of which the visiting prelates
and church dignitaries viewed the pro-
cession. The procession was three
hours in passing given point. There
were many carriages in the line decorated
aud carrying Chimes Sc lanterns.

DECISION IN THE McKEE-CHocrAw CASE
Mr.. Justice Cox, in the Equity Court, to-day
decided the case Of Rollings and Gilfllan against
Mckee. The decision involved the validity OF
the contract made by John 7. Cochrane with
the Choctaw nation in 1855. The court holds
that the complainants, who claimed as assignees
of an interest in that contract, could not re-
cover against Mckee because the Cochrane
contract was void and within the principles
decided by the Supreme Court in the case OF
spoford against Kirk. The court also held
that neither Cochrane's legal Representatives
nor his sssignees could recover upon that con.
tract, because it was never performed by
Cochrane. John J. Weed and Hon. b. +. Rice
appeared for Mckee, and Messrs. Morrison
Fhppin and Duval for Rollings and GILLIAN.

Rather Embarrassing to the Girl.


From the Pittsburg Dispatch
A young woman brought ring TO jeweler
the other day and requested him to reset the
stone, which she said was loose. She spoke of
it as a diamond solitaire. The jeweler took
the ring and said he would attend to it. As
the customer was leaving the store the jeweler
called her back and said: '"This stone is glass,
ma'am-I want you to understand that"
The young woman colored up and exclaimed
with wrath in her voice: Its no such thing
it's real diamond. Glass, indeedr'
Excuse me, ma'am," politely rejoined the
jeweler, "it is nothing more than piece Of
common crystal or glass. There is no doubt
whatever about it."
"But it was present given to me last Christ
mas by very dear friend who wouldn't think
of giving me a sham diamond" the young
woman persisted.
I'm sorry. ma'am," replied the jeweler,
somebody's been deceived, very likely, but
this stone is absolutely worthless; a chip of
glass"
Well, the young woman argued still further
about the ring and insisted it was very valu-
able, and at last took it away with her, saving
that she would take it somewhere else to be
repaired. She was nearly in tears when she
left the store.
After she had gone the jeweler said to me:
81 did not want to hurt that girls feelings but
when a ring of that kind is given to me to be
repaired l always make it a practice of having
it clearly understood that the stone is valueless
II did not should run the risk of having that
young woman come back after she had discov-
cred that the stone was not diamond, and ac-
cuse me Of changing it in the resetting. Such
cumstances Of this kind, and since then have
followed cautious policy for my own protec-
ton. That girl was honest, I've no doubt but
l cannot afford to take any chances"

SCHOOL SITE PURCHASES.
How Controller Durham Construes the
Clause In the Appropriation Bill.

i
TIE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS HAVE NO RIGHT
UNDER THE LAW TO EMPLOY Oh PAY AGENTS,
But MUST Buzz DIRECT FROM THE OWNER OR
| HIS AGENT.
| Judge Durham, the first controller of the
treasury, has decided, in reply to letter from
the District Commissioners, that they have no
legal authority to employ agents of any de-
scription In the purchase of sites for public
schools or other buildings for which provision
was made in the last District appropriation.
The act contained this clause:
"That hereafter the Commissioners in making
purchases Of sites for schools Or other public
buildings shall do so without the employment
OF agents or through other persons not regular
dealers in real estate in the District Of Column
bia, or through such regular dealers who have
not had the property for sale continuously
| from the date Of the passage Of this act and in
| no case shall commission be paid to more than
one person or firm greater than the usual COM
mission"
MUST PURCHASE DIRECT FROM THE OWNERS.
The Commissioners called attention to the
fact that the act made no provision for the pay
| ment of commissions to dealers, and asked if
the amount appropriated for the purchase Of
sites and the erection Of buildings could be ap-
| piled to that purpose.
The controller replied that the Commission
ers must make purchase of sites from the own
ers OF such real estate or through the agents Of
the owners who are regular dealers, and who
further must have had control of the property
from the date Of the passage of the act. He
does not consider that the person acting for
the owner of the property can be
regarded as the agent Of the Commissioners;
he is simply acting as the agent of the owner.
When the Commissioners make a contract with
him for the purchase Of the property the sum
which the Commissioners agree to pay him
should cover the entire expenses of the pur-
chase, and whatever commissions the agent
may receive for his services should be paid to
him by the owner Of the property, and he
should have no claim whatever upon the Com
mlssloners for any commissions.
| NO COMMISSIONS CAN BE PAID By THE DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS.
"The phraseology of the act, in my judy
ment," continues the controller, prohibits the
Commissioners from making the purchase of
anyone other than the person who is acting as
the agent Of the owners, if it be not made from
the owner directly. Hence, as there is no
agent employed by them in the transaction,
there is no one who is entitled to receive a COM
mission from them"
CONDENSATION PROCEEDINGS.
He also decides that where condemnation
proceedings are necessary all necessary ex-
penses in connection Herewith can be paid for
out of the appropriation. As no appropriation
is made in the act for this purpose the Com
missioners could not proceed to have the
property condemned, and to carry out that pro-
vision of the statute when it becomes necessary
unless they could pay for such expenses out Of
the appropriation made for the purchase of sites
and buildings.

The Law Regulating Pawn-Shops.

QUESTIONS RAISED By INSPECTOR BLOCK AND
REFERRED TO ATTORNEY RIDDLE.
The law regulating pawn-shops, approved q
short time ago, has raised some important ques-
tions. Policeman s. ]. Block, the inspector of
pawn-shops, in a letter to Inspector Swindells,
asks that instructions be given him, so that he
may properly enforce the law. In his letter he
asks the following questions:
docs the new law annul the existing
licenses OF pawnbrokers2 Is a person liable
for license as pawnbroker who charges
storage for goods left with him. and who
advances money on said goods, conditional on
the repayment of the advance and storage
being paid before the goods are allowed
to be taken away? Can a person having
a pawnbroker's license, under the new
law in addition to the lawful rate of
interest by agreement with the pawner,
charge storage on the goods? Is licensed
junk dealer permitted to buy personal prop
erty, agreeing to hold same for any stated time
agreed between his customer and himself. not
naming or STIMULATING any price, however, to be
paid for the goods? Are promissory notes not
secured to be classed exempted from the
operation of the pawn law? Is a general de-
scrlptlon such as ''overcoats, watches. pistols "
ETC.. sufficient in advertising previous to sale
by the pawnbroker of unredeemed pledges?
The matter was referred to the Commissioners
to-day, who promptly submitted the questions
to Attorney Riddle for his opinion.

Status of Retired Army Officers.
THEY CAN LEGALLY HOLD OTHER POSITIONS UNDEl
THE GOVERNMENT.

THE GOVERNMENT.
There has been considerable discussion of the
question whether q retired officer of the army
can legally hold another Office under the gov
eminent. An investigation Of the subject to-
day has ELECTED the fact that this question was
passed upon by Acknowledgement Garland in q
letter to the Secretary of State, dated October
80, 1885, in which the Acknowledgement states
that his former opinion, expressed
before fully examining the statutes,
was correct, namely, that retired army
officers can legally hold other positions
under the government In this letter he refers
to the act of March 8, 1875, as given in chapter
17s, supplement to Revised Statutes, pages 1874,
1876, which fixes, among other things, the rank
and pay of retired officers of the army, provid-
ing that they shall continue on the retired list
with only the rank they held at the time of
mourning the wound or disability for which
they were retired, &c. In this chapter it is
provided that Every officer now borne on the
retired list shall be continued thereon. not
wlthstanding the provisions of section 2, chapter
8, act OF March 80, 1867 as Statutes at Large,
5S), and in this same chapter 17S it is further
provided, THAT no retired officer shall be
affected by this act, who has been retired, or
may hereafter be retired on the rank held by
him at the time of his retirement"
The act of March 80, 1868, which is thus de-
clared not binding in the case of retired army
officers among other things provides in brief
that no officer of the army on the active list
shall hold any civil Office, elective or appointive
nor shall he accept any diplomatic or consular
ONCE. 1t will thus be seen that, according to
previous decisions, retired army officers are en-
Titled to the same privileges, in respect to
ohce-holdlng, as are accorded private citizens
On inquiry at the Department of Justice it was
stated by number Of officials that there has
been no decision rendered since the above by
Attorney-General Garland.

Another Loud Protest.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 16, 1889.
To the Editor of the EVENING STAR:
In your issue Of last evening was glad to
notice a mothers protest against the fairs in
the public schools. /, too, have children in a
school where such fair is TO be held and would
like to enter another emphatic protest against
them. "Mother," in speaking of the charms
and deceits of the fair fish-pond and grab-bag,
does not light up, probably is not aware, of
another much greater evil that now attends
these fairs. The gold ring to be voted to the
most popular Cd girl and football to the most
popular boy sounds innocent enough but
Mother" just fancy your little girl going from
house among neighbors, friends, or strangers,
begging for 10 cents for a vote! Just fancy, for
moment, the experience and training she will
get In such course to become the most popu-
lar girl. Will she not have to become the
most artful checklist and boldest girl to get
the prize? Yet this is being done most every
day, as almost any merchant in the city can
testify. The writer has actually been accosted
ON the street, after o'clock at night, by a bevy
of girls, from ten to twelve years old, begging
for votes at 10 cents apiece. But this was for a
church fair. Think OF it, We Christian mothers
how your churches are being supported before
you consent to another fair being gotten up,
even for that purpose. The police authorities
devices at the fairs. yet that was innocent
amusement alongside of what has been substi-
tuted for them-this begging for votes agree
with Mother" II our authorities are too poor
to provide our public schools with necessary
libraries, tax me to any reasonable amount for
the purpose, but do not let the fair invade our
public schools. A FATHER.

Another Lottery Case in Court.

William W. Gould was charged in the Police
Court this morning with selling Louisiana
lottery tickets. Mr.. A. B. Williams, his counsel,
appeared and demanded a jury trial. Bail
in the sum of 800 was given, and the case was
continued to await the result of case pending
before the Court in General Term, involving
the legal questions raised by Mr. Williams.
This is the second case brought against Mr..
Gould within two weeks. The cases were not
brought by officers of the law, but by citizens.
The first case was brought by Ferdinand G..
Mccormick of East Washington, and the
second warrant was sworn out by Carwin Price,
of No. 2222 g street northwest. Why the war
rants were sworn out by citizens is not known,
but 1t Is said by certain persons that such prose-
cutions will be continued from time to time as
long as Mr.. Gould continues the sale of lottery
tickets
