WE wish to call the attention Of
our hypercrIticaI Alliance brother
who objected to our printing the sd.
vertisements Of railroads In the
JOURNAL to the fact that his own
immaculate home organ, the Union,
has ct last succumbed to the blight
ing influence of monopoly and now
publishes the advertisement Of the
Missouri Pacific railway, and would
Jump At the chance II offered adj
vertising by the other lines. We do
not believe that Il Is wrong to do
such advertising, but Il does look At
least inconsistent for q paper which
has abused railroads and National
banks to get down on its knees and
advertise such institutions In Its col
umus. IL our Alliance brother lives
up TO his agreement he will pow
stop the URioR and pay for two
copies Of the JOURNAL one year in
advance,

lifted resubmissiOn, and the echo Of
which was sounded by most OF the
Democratic organs Of the state, our
esteemed contemporary, the Herald
probably feels that Il IL not only
right but promotIve Of comfort to
be always consistent. The Herald
never eonntenanced this hsrlotlng
Of the Democratic party with the
Alliance, and now its predictions In
regard to the unholy bargain have
been verified.

Justice Lamar at the Y. NJ. C. A.

An interesting address was made by Justice
Lamar yesterday afternoon to large audience
of young men in the gymnasium of the Young
Mems Christian Association. He dwelt upon
three occasions in his life when no had listened
to religious addresses which had made a deep
and lasting impression upon his mind. In after
years when he had been perplexed and OPP
pressed the recollection Of the words of Chris
tian faith uttered on these occasions had come
to him and given him strength. He had hest
fancy about speaking publicly of his personal
experiences, but he always desired to show his
colors and he would simply add that he be-
lieved there was God. who was infinitely
great and merciful, and he believed in His holi-
ness, justice and goodness. The justice closed
his address by reading a portion of a chapter
of st. Paul. Next Sunday afternoon Justice
Brewer will deliver an address to young men at
the association.

concert last night at the Academy of Music in
commemoration Of the fortieth anniversary of
the organization. 1t was highly successful and
well attended. The music produced under the
direction of Mr. VIM. Waldecker was Of high
order and seemed thoroughly appreciated by
the audience. One of the numbers was quite
picturesque. being descriptive under the title
of '.Niederwaldfahrt." of trip to the Neider-
valid, near Bingen. where is a monument dedi-
Gated to the unification of Germany. The
varied arrangement. including nearly every
known form of vocalism, was heightened in its
effect by the appearance of Miss Lutz Ger
mania in the act of browning the monument.
Hail Columbia was rendered in somewhat
the same style, with Miss Annie Muehleisen as
america. MIR. Richard Burmeister of Bati-
more was the piano soloist, Miss Alice Williams

A SmOkers' Concert,

The members of the Columbia Athletic Club
had a royal good time last Saturday night. 1t
was the occasion of the second smokers con-
cert and the program, which was arranged by
Mr.. Fred Thompson. abounded with pleasant
surprises, the greatest, perhaps in the introduce
ton of Mr.. VIM. Pruette, the well-known opera
singer. Mr.. Pruette sang several songs and re-
ceived the generous applause of those present.
His last song-''Charity"-wa given with a
great deal Of expression and proved a good
means of hearing him at his best Mr.. George
+. Gibbs sang several solos and proved to all
that he was one of the best vocalists in the
club. His rendition Of that beautiful song,

Of the concert Mr.. Z. H Droop, besides play
ing several instrumental selections, accom-
panied the vocalists and gave an exhibition of

NAVY YARD REFORM.
1t win Come to the Gun Factory in This
City in Time.

The navy yard reform inaugurated by Secre-
tary Tracy will undoubtedly reach the Wash
lngton gun factory before it is worked out to
its conclusion. The force here is very well Sc
lected and in good working order and there il
really little or no necessity for the establish.
ment Of reform methods and examinations.
But in order to complete the circle in the new
scheme this force must be put through the mill
at some time during the summer.
The method will be the same as that adopted
for reforming the New York and Norfolk yards
that is, discharge Of all foremen and master
mechanics in the yard on a certain day and a
competitive examination for the places thus
vacated. to which the former incumbents will
be allowed to come. This examination will
cover the field Of each mans personal efficiency
In his trade, his former experience, his char
acter, habits and general intelligence. No in
qulry whatever will be made into such matters,
as mans political predictions and influence
will no longer be a factor.
The date for the change has not yet been de-
termined upon. That at Norfolk takes place
on the LIST of June. Besides the Washington
foundry the only establishments remaining to
be subjected to the new treatment are the
Portsmouth On. H. and the Mare Island
(Cal.) yards. Those at Boston and League
Island have not yet been opened. although
there Is authority in q recent law to do so.
The delay is caused by the length of time
that it necessarily takes to obtain the tools and
plant for the institution of proper facilities in
such large shops and it may be some months
before these yards can be put into working or
der. 1t is probable that the yard at League
Island, near Philadelphia, will be the first of
the two to be opened. The new cruiser New
ark was placed in the dry dock recently con-
structed at League Island on Saturday and is
now being painted.
This il the first work of any sort that has
been done at Philadelphia on a naval vessel
under government auspices for six years. The
last vessel handled was the U. S. 4. Ossipee,
when she was locked preparatory to her voy-
age to China. Bids have been opened for the
furnishing of tools for these two yards, but no
contracts have yet been awarded. Naval Con-
structor Mintonye has been ordered to dNty at
Boston to superintend the assemblage of the
plant and it may be that some carpentering re-
pairs can be done on vessels this summer.

Mrs. Annie Besant, one Of the most famous
of all apostles of modern reforms. reac he'd this
city from New York Saturday afternoon. She
is stopping at the Riggs House while in the
city. Saturday evening this disciple of Madame
Blavatsky was rendered reception by Mrs.
George Leonard at 2103 street. There were
large number of guests. including many we'll
known people, and a most enjoyable evening
was spent. Mrs Besant was attended on her
trip over from New York and at the reception
by Mrs. Meresheimer, whose guest she is in
that city, and by Mr.. Judge, president Of the
Theosophical Society.
Dennison Hall was more than crowded last
night to hear Mr.. William Judge, the general
secretary Of the Theosophical Society, and Mrs.
Annie Besant discourse on theosophical topics.
Mr. Judge was introduced by Mr.. Savage, the
president Of the Blavatsky Lodge. and spoke at
What 1t Was Not He talked at some length
on the theory and benefits of theosophy. It
was, he said, religion of tolerance and unset
fshness, and one which would abolish the
cause OF sin and most of the misery.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Judges remarks Mr..
Savage introduced Mrs. Besant who proved to
be most interesting and entertaining speaker.
She spoke partly in defense and partly in justi-
fcation of her cause. Her address was q recital
OF the good to be accomplished by her belief.
1t taught one to look upon the lower classes not
with shudder and horror, but with a feeling
that every man and woman had a soul, and if
they were bound by chains of vice it was all the
more the duty of the others and the more en-
hghtened to break these letters. She talked at
length Of the interest that is being taken in
theosophy, which, she said. though spreading
rapidly every day, is still by no means as prac
teal it should be- Mrs. Besant closed her
talk with an earnest defense of Madame Blavat-
sky, the high priest of the faith she herself has
espoused.

A Remarkable Cure for Catarrh and

FROM THE Rev. JACOB d. WILSON,

To THE PUBLIC.
During my service in our late war / con-
tracted catarrh in my head and throat, which
later on developed into asthma in its most Sc
rious form. When the paroxysms were upon
me the distressing cough and ceaseless gasping
for breath, nearly amounting to suffocation.
caused the greatest of suffering, almost too
much to bear. Sleep at such times impos-
sible, and the slightest exertion greatly ag-
gravated these distressing symptoms In spite
Of all my efforts for relief, both asthma and
catarrh continued and even increased in Sc
verify, until. by advice of friends, applied to
DIR. Lighthill of this city. His careful and
thorough examination and investigation of my
case inspired me with confidence. and placed
myself under his care and within three months
time he effected a complete cure of the catarrh
as well as of asthma. My cough is gone, can
breathe as freely as any one. sleep soundly and
feel perfectly WELL This great success in my
case seems almost a miracle. In addition to
the above, would also mention that am short
of stature and weighed over two hundred pounds,
with tendency toward apoplexy. To avoid
the danger from that cause. DIR. Lighthill de-
clded to reduce my weight, and during the
above period reduction of over thirty pounds
was effected, to my great delight and comfort.
cannot praise DR.. Lighthill too highly for his
careful attention and skillful treatment of my
case.
With profound gratitude to the Almighty and

to see any one interested desiring further in

MIR. Atkinson's Railroad "We."

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t seems to me that you have not scored the
most offensive part of Atkinson's declarations
The Congress Of this great government has
taken from the quarter of million citizens of
the capital every vestige of political rights and
assumes to be the guardians of the citizens.
leaving the people entirely at the mercy of the
railroads except as protected by Congress.
The lower house Of Congress constitutes Mr..
Atkinson a member OF the committee to pro-
tect the wards of Congress from oppression
Of all kinds. Mr.. Atkinson was as much bound
to carefully protect the interests of the people
of the District as the guardian appointed by
the court is to care for the interests Of minor
heirs. Yet he says that when he found that the
people would not accept what was offered by
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad that he
then went into the fight to win all that he
could. Mr.. Atkinson stands alone as the only
member of Congress that has ever acknowl-
edged that as legislator he joined one of the
parties before Congress to rob another. and in
his case to harm his own ward. 1t is certainly a
very unenviable position.
