gospei meeting on Christmas morning, which
in these later years Is well attended, and YES
terday was no exception. The increase in
attendance by the young rien might be traced
to a little secret known to the members of the

close Of the praise and testimony meeting.
when Mr.. III. A. Harding read a testimonial
which had been prepared and signed by eighty
young men, presenting purse with four COM
partments, IN each of which nestled gold coin.
The recipient was Walter Loveless. who has
been identified with the association for several
years as n member. and has displayed consid-
cradle ability and versatility as an all-round
athlete The boys enjoyed the surprise equally
with the recipient, and Christmas day was the
merrier for all concerned

cipal streets Of Alexandria in smoke; not the
smoke Of battle nor even the smoke Of the pipe
OF peace. but compromise smoke. the crea-
ton Of thousands Of pistol shots and fireworks
that the atmosphere refused to lift and left
to make haze around the electric
lights OF the streets Never before have more
fireworks been sent of. and the streets were
thronSed with gay, but not disorderly crowds.
There was a ball at McBurneys Hall and many

THE EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL.
Reasons for Accepting the Site in the Suburbs
of Washington City.

Reasons for Accepting the Site in the Suburbs
of Washington City.
The Baltimore Sun today says: The selection
of n site SO remote from the center of Washing
ton for the proposed cathedral of the Episcopal
church in that city has excited some surprise.
But this is due probably to a lack OF informa-
ton as TO the real design of Bishop Paret. A
tract Of land containing fourteen and half
acres situated beyond the present suburbs of
the city, and very near the former country
home of President Cleveland, has been offered
to the bishop. At present the situation, besides
being remote, is inaccessible; streets have not
yet been opened in the ueiShbOrhood. But the
location is commanding eminence overlooking
the city, with magnificent natural surround
ings, and in every way suitable for such II build
ing n grand cathedral. In considering the
eligibility of the location i'll other re-
CARDS there are certain matters which must not
be forgotten. The building of cathedral is
small matter. Years must be consumed in
gathering the vast sum required for the erect
ing OF such a building as Is proposed and Its
proper and necessary endowment. 1t Is de-
sired to make 1t conspicuous object in a city
of magnificent structures. The sum required
may be several millions of dollars. Then after
a sufficient amount of money to justify the be-
ginning OF work has been secured years more
will be required in the building. Bishop Paret
Is looking far ahead and this building Will be
erected Tor the use of generations 10 come.
What will Washington city be even fifty years
hence? Its population increased nearly 80 per
cent in the last decade. At the saline rate of
progress fifty years IRON now Washington will
contain a population of more than So, 100. No
one in Washington doubts that this rate of in
crease will be maintained or even exceeded,
and instead of population OF so, 600 1t may be
1OO0, 900. Bishop Paret is entirely safe. there
fore. safe a. a man be III dealing with
the future. to assume this growth OF the city
and to act accordingly. The buildings are ex-
tending rapidly cut in the direction of the
cathedral site. Connecticut avenue, one of
the finest streets of the city. will soon border
the cathedral lot. That neighborhood is high.
Lealthful and will adjoln the magnificent
national park. which will extend up Rock creek
to the Maryland line, and II is highly probable
that. with improved methods of rapid transit,
1t will be only few years until the thickly
populated streets and avenues will extend far
beyond the cathedral site toward Tenleytown.
The conception of grand cathedral pile at
the national capital will commend itself to the
members of the Episcopal church throughout
the land. \ lady of Washington has already
given property to the value of $4,000 to the
enterprise and 1T may enlist the sympathy of
wealthy people in other churches. just as was
the case with the Cathedral OF st. John the
Divine, in New York, where some of the mos:
liberal contributors were not members of the
Episcopal church.

HOW CHRISTMAS WAS SPENT.


No poor man who made known his wants
suffered for anything in Georgetown yesterday.
The people seemed to be particularly charitable
and many spent the happiest hours of the day
i'll distributing to their more unfortunate
brothers food, clothing and fuel. The various
churches were turned into Santa Claus houses
and every one who called went away with his
basket filled. At the Trinity Church parsoLaee
the St. Vincent de Paul Society had placed
their representative and over forty families car
ried away Christmas things of every descrip-
tioE. A largo number Of callers were colored
people, but not a few claimed Ireland as their
mother country. At the college also some were
provided for. the Beach family being among
those thought of.
THE TENLEYTowN BAND EMBARRASSMENT.
The cornet band Of Tenleytown has given
another pleasant affair at Good Templars' Hall
The occasion was enlivened by supper and
the people came from miles around to show
their appreciation OF the boys work and par
take Of their hospitality. The pleasing selec-
tions rendered were greatly enjoyed by the
assemblage. Under the efficient leadership Of
Mr.. Clinton 1allman of New York the members
have striven hard to place themselves in a light
that they Nigh. be recognized by musicians,
ami the last performance proved the efforts
had not been fruitlessly made.
SURPRISED THEIR PASTOR.
large number OF members of Mount Zion
NJ. E. Church presented to their PASTOR Rev.
i. o. Carroll, handsome black cloth suit and
well-filied purse to his wife on Thursday
evening. Mr.. Jas. L. Turner made the presen-
tation and very happy responses were made by
the pastor and Mrs. Carroll. Their daughter.
Miss Lucy, was also remembered with o silver
spoon, handsomely engraved.

Officer Fisher suffering from violent cramps,
and he was sent to the Emergency Hospital.

SOME SENSIBLE ADVICE.
A Cosored Paper Warns the Race Not to He
Influenced by Recent Incendiary speeches.

A Colored Paper Warns the Race Not to He
Influenced by Recent Incendiary Speeches.
From the Washington Bee Of Today.
Mr. Smyth made one of the most incendiary
speeches that ever fell from the lips OF man.
He advised the colored people to take up arms
and kill the first officer who attempted to in
wade their household.
These remarks were made without qualifica-
ton, which in the opinion Of the better think
ing class Of people were unwise and detri-
mental to the cause and the race. When he
made use of such uncalled-for remarks the Bee
was about to cali on the people not to be inHu.
enced by such advice, but was prevented from
SO doing.
There is no paper in this country more
friendly to the colored people than the Bee.
and, IN all candor, the advice of Carson and
Smyth will tend to do more harm than good.
Inc wrongs perpetrated against the colored
people can be remedied in another way. So far
as the District Commissioners are concerned,
they are willing and ready to right any wrong
that may be perpetrated on all classes OF peo-
pie. That there is some dissatisfaction with the
verdict OF the coroners jury the Bee will adj
NIT. but the grand jury is the tribunal to in
vestigate the killing of Charles Lomax.
The advice Of the Bee is: Don't resist arrest
even should you be in the right A mans house
Is his castle. but if he commits crime or an
ofense against the laws of the land he can be
pursued to his home. and if he enters and closes
the door after him the officer has a right to en-
ter and break the door open if necessary. The
he OF police officer is q hard one. it is true,
and while some Of them are prejudiced against
the colored people, all Of them should not be
condemned. There is not a lieutenant on the
force who Is not friendly disposed toward the
coored people and would not hesitate to correct
any wrong that may be perpetrated against
them
So far as Maj. Moore is concerned. he has al
ways been known to right any wrong that any
OF his officers may have perpetrated against the
colored people.

A Violation Of the Seventeenth Amendm

a Violation oil the seventeenth Amendment.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
would call your attention to another high
handed outrage perpetrated by one Of the vile
minions OF the law upon n peaceable, law
abiding colored citizen. This citizen having
INDUCED very little in the cup which cheers,
and while under this cheerful influence, hap
pened TO appropriate to his own pockets from
the counter Of local store n few insignificant
articles without depositng quid pro quo and
for, this forsooth he was arrested. What a
travesty OF justice-a penceable colored man
arrested on the eve Of Christmas for appro-
priating q will not call it stealing) rubber
at, rubber turtle and two rubber balls. Bv
the shades of Abraham Lincoln, was there
ever such an indignity perpetrated upon an
American citizen? Why. sir, the Chile i'm
broglio isn't u candle to this!
We're this all these lines would Tie yer ha We been
penned, but because he exercised that right
which the seventeenth amendment gives to
every colored man, viz, to call upop the
colored people of the District of Columbia for
rescue from the hands Of the brute constraining
him, and because lie cndeavored to assist in
that rescue himself. lie was mercilesslS KIN ocked
down by the first of the officers. who doubtless
wore pair of extra-double brass knuckles
Nor was this all. for two other peaceable breth-
rem, for simply replying to his call for rescue,
met with the same inhuman treatment
Would q white man under like circumstances
have met with the same treatment? No saw
emphatically; no, not If he had stolen six rub
Der turtles. ten rubber rats and three brass
balls. This is simply one more instance where
an innocent negro il made to know that his skin
Is. black. brown or yellow and to feel that his
blood is red.
Has tie officer been arrested? OF course not
Has he been fined! Oh. ridiculous interroga-
ton! No; not even suspended pending inquiry
