Secretary Foster, who was to deliver the chief
address of the evening, was introduced by
Capt. VIM Potter of Oak Crest The secretary
said that he had known Gen. Spinner twenty
years ago, and took pleasure in adding his tes-
tlmony to the high esteem in which the memory
OF the great treasurer was held by all the peo-
pie. He. while probably not the pioneer of the
introduction OF women into the public service.
WAS an earnest advocate Of it, and it was mainly
through his efforts that they gained substan-
tlai footing in the Treasury Department, and
the influence of his work had spread into all
the other government Offices. Women owed a
debt Of gratitude to Gen. Spinner, and the
work which the association had imposed upon
themselves was but in keeping with womans
readiness and even eagerness to acknowledge
such debt.
Brief speeches were also made By Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Crounse and Treas
urer Neteker and the remainder of the evening
was pleasantly spent by the hundreds of people
IN dancing and other smusements and later
handsome collation. was served.

The report shows:
A Sons Threats Against His Mother.

~ hate to go back on my own child, but l
have to do it" said colored woman named
Martha Russell when she appeared before
Judge Miller this morning and charged her son,
Edward Russell. with threats toward her.
''Sweet revenge" were the particular words
used by the woman's son. Who it was stated,
threatened his mother with razor. Mrs. Rus
sell said she was hard-working woman and
had always supported her son.
Edward attempted to explain away the
charge and remarked, Il wasn't going to kill
nobody"
You certainly will not, said the judge, 'if
l can help it"
And l won't if can help it," added the
prisoner.
Judge Miller required him to give $500 bonds

Doorkeeper Buckfncbam's Benefit.

The personal popularity of Mr.. John E.
Buckingham. doorkeeper at Albaugh's, was
fully attested by the large audience which filled
the opera house last night on the occasion of
his benefit. Buck stood at the door and
took tickets for awhile, but he was soon obliged
to turn over that duty to some one else, for
everybody wanted to shake hands with him,
and handshaking and ticket taking are two
things which cannot be done at the same time.
The program was large one, as is usually the
case on benefit occasions, but all the numbers
we're satisfactorily performed and nearly
everybody was encored The Apollo Quartet,
Misses BERTHE Crawford, Helen Lamont, Lizzie
Annandale, Messrs. Herndon Morsell and James
Watson, furnished vocal selections; the Man.
dolin and Guitar Club played: Misses Hilda
Jacobs, Rosa Deitz, May Belle Chambers. Mas
ter Ed. Bowman and Prof. Montgom-
cry danced; MIR. c. B. Hanford re-
cited the Seven Ages" Members of the
Washington Light Infantry Athletic Club gave
Il good exhibition; the Hyattsville Quartet and
the Harmony Quartz: made great deal of fun;
Jno. lorke Alice whistled; the little fellows,
John and Jess, did an amusing wind-up a la
Sullivan and Slavin; L. Rosinski presented
some beautiful art pictures and Miss Lavinia
Shannon and Giles Shine gave a scene from
The Hunclback." This scene was exccilcntly
acted and the many friends of Miss Shannon
"SiS Sid'iicA dt INC SESdt improvement sue
has made in her art. Misses Crawford and An
mandate both sang songs by katherine Wells
Reddington Washington composer. and Mr.
Morsell gave one of his own ompositions
Miss Lamont was well received and was given
many flowers. This, indeed, was the case of all
the ladies. The dancing was gracefully done
Miss Chambers displaying remarkable skill. In
the sparring match between Messrs. Given and
Lee the latter won on points and Mr.. Graham
outwrestled Mr.. Baden. The tribute to Mr..
buckingham paid by MIR. Hay in his opening
address was fully justified, and every one was
glad that the benefit had proved such sub
stantial one. Mr.. Harry Fisk was especially
active in disposing of the tickets, and Buck
says that all his friends were more than kind.

DEATH RATE LAST WEEK.
Largely in Excess of the Correspondent
Week Last Year-The Causes.

Largely In Excess of the Corresponding
Week Last Year-The Causes.
In the report Of the operations of the health
office for last week Health Officer Townshend
says:
The death list increased during the warm
weather of last week to 40 from 14O for the
previous week. The number of deaths in the
corresponding week of last year was 143, and
in 1889 1856. This large increase is attributable
to the prevalence Of diarrheal diseases among
children in all parts of the District There
were So of these under five years Of age, and
70 were under one year old. These latter pre-
cisely equaled the number Of births reported
for the same time.
HINTS FOR MOTHERS WITH BABIES.
"The succeeding cool weather may have a
tendency to check the mortality from cholera
infantum, but tine disease may be expected to
progress to its elimination, which occurs usu-
ally about the middle of July. In the mean
time mothers and nurses should exercise great
care. The medical authorities throughout the
country are cautioning against the Use of con-
densed milk without boiling and advise that it
be diluted with rice or toast water. And es-
pecially the old-time nursing bottle is de-
nounced as a thing of evil
aside from these diarrheal troubles the
general health of the District is good. Typhoid
and malarial fevers and the epidemic influenza
only appear in sporadic cases, and the con-
tagious diseases have decreased almost to their
minimum"
