"THE IRISH SOLDIER IN HISTORY"
Capt. Page McCarty's lecture will be
given at the Opera House on Tuesday
evening the 10th inst. The lecture will
be varied with the rendition of some
of the old Irish ballads by.a full orches-
ira and two of the most famous ones
vocally, which will make the entertain
ment complete and thoroughly enjoy
able. Mr., McCarty has given the sub
ject a thorough study, and an cab
crate treatment of it in the Philadel-
phia Times two years ago attracted gen.
eral attention, especially from the great
numbers of Irish Catholics in all parts
of the country. Though the lecture is
critically historical, it is enlivened with
the pungent humor of Count Dillon,
Sir Jonah Darlington and other Irish
chroniclers, besides the ideas of the
French writers that have not hitherto
been translated. The gallant Hiberni-
ans are traced from the treaty of Linn
erick to Fontenoy, and in this country
from Andrew Lewis, at Point Pleasant,
to Saratoga and Yorktown, and down
to the comical Irishman at AppomattoX,

MUsICAL.-Thc thirty-seyenth COM
plimentary rehearsal of the Alexandria
Musical Association, and the last of the
season, was last night given in the As
ISOLATION rooms in Sarepta Hall to a
large and appreciative audience. The
programme of ten numbers was excel
lently rendered, each performer SEEM
ing to vie with the other in doing his
BEST Perhaps the best rendered num-
bers were ''The Burlesquers," by the
orchestra, and the Grown Prince" by
the band. The special features of the
evening were the vocal solos of Mrs.
Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff, of Washing
ton, and Mr.. James Bayne. of this city,
and the clarionet solos of Mr.. VIM. Keep
pier, of the Marine Band. Mrs. Shir-
Cliffs soprano solos, BELL song from
Lakme," "Snow Flakes" and "Open
Thy Blue Eyes," were rendered in an
artistic and pleasing manner and were
heartily encored, the singer receiving
quite an ovation. Mr.. Bayne's bass
solo, "My Little Woman" was well re-
ceived. Prof. Bischoff, the famous
blind pianist, was accompanist for both
vocalists. Mr.. Keppler's rendition OF
"Luisa di Montfort' was one of the
finest clarionet solos ever heard in this
city, and his encore was responded to
with "Loinduball." The only incident
to mar the pleasure of the evening was
the rapping down of the orchestra by
the conductor. In the rendition of the
dreams of Childhood" the string and
reed played the first strain a fraction
slow, and though the error was so
slight that probably no one in the audi.
ence noticed it, and though it could
have been easily remedied by an in
crease of beat, the musicians were
promptly cut off and started again from
the beginning. But, taken all in all,
the rehearsal last night was very en-
joyable, and all the friends of the asso-
citation hope that the next season will
open with the brightest prospects in
the history of the musical.

Arrested as Witnesses, They Will

Three members Of the crew of the British
ship Thistle, now at Port Costa, spent last
night in the filthy "hole in the walP' of the
City Prison. They are Frank Chapman,
mate; Andrew MathewsoD, cook. and John
Clark, apprentice. They were arrested at
Port Costa yesterday afternoon on a bench
warrant issued by Police Judge Campbell,
in whose court they had been cited TO ap-
pear as witnesses on Tuesday morning.
The case was that of the People against
Morris Power, a sailor on the ship Marie
Frazer, who is charged with an assault to
murder w. II. Smith, also a member of the
Marie FraZer's crew.
The Marie Frazer ard the Thistle were
lying at the Howard-street wharf on Christ
mas eve, when Smith and Power began TO
quarrel and Power slashed Smith with a
knife, INJECTING a wound in the hand which
made amputation OF the member necessary.
The three men Of the Thistle are believed
to have been witnesses Of the affray and
were subpenaed to appear in court when
the case was called, but failed to respond.
They say that they did not appear because
they were unable to pay their fare from
Port Costa and that they did not witness
tie fight between Smith and Powers.
They assert that the officer who took
them into custody at Port Costa yesterday
told them that they would not be put in
Jail, but would be permitted to spend the
night in hotel. Their Indignation upon
being thrown into the foul cell lOosened
their tongues, and they voiced their con-
domination of the manner in which they had
been treated In very vigorous language.

DEFENDER OF RAILROADS.
German of Maryland as the Champion
of Pledge Breakers.


WASHINGTON. Feb. S-After the joint
session dissolved today the Senate took up
the railway automatic caI-coupler bill. and
s., was debated up to the hour OF ijOurn-
ment without any definite action being
taken. During the debate German took up
the taUnts INDUCED in yesterday by Chandler
against the Democrats in the Senate for not
supporting the pending measure, which was
favored IN the platform of the national
Democratic convention.
The Democratic party" German said, was
abuAdantly able to take care Of Itself. 1t
IS true both the national parties. in cOnven-
ton assembled, in the year 1892. adopted
resolutions favoTing this cl ass OF legisla-
lion, but the Senator from New Hampshire
Had not correctly quoted the resolution Of
tie Democratic convention. Tie resolution
favored legislation on the subject by the
states and not By Congress.
If this bill became law the influences
That are behind Il would MAKE themselves
felt at future party conventions. They
would say: we are now strong enough TO
control your Presidential election. You
nus: confscate the property of railways by
further legi slation or we will control your
politics.
They would say that Congress must leg
jslate so a rail must weigh 80 pounds to
tie yard instead Of 100. and the Carnegies
aud other manufacturers Of steel rails who
lad jobs to press would threaten Congress
with their employees"
German argued, In conclusion. that an
organ .zation of railway employees could
accomplish more in the way Of Improvement
than all the legislation that could be piled
On the statute book. The railroads of this
country could not submit to further restTlc-
tons while the Canadian lines were entirely
free from them
