THE EDGEWOOD LAND.
Suit to Enforce n Trust Against Mr..
Needlam and Mrs. Chase.


Needham and Mrs. Chase.
Meyer B. Newman has filed a bill in
equity to enforce a trust aginst Charles
w. Needham and Katherine Chase. 1t is
stated that about September 90 1892. Mrs.
Chase was the owner of a tract of land
new known as "Edgewood." On the date
mentioned, 1t is claimed, the land was con-
veyed by deed to George D. Wycko:f, and
the latter, on the same day, conveyed the
real estate to Herman Walbridge and Arch
fbald Greenlees to secure an Indebtedness
to Mrs. Chase of $4,000, represented by a
promissory note. Walbridge and Greenlees
later released the trust to Charles WNeed-
ham.
Wyckoff, on November 90 1893, conveyed
the property in question by deed to Need
ham as trustee, according to the bill While
Needham is described in The deed as trus-
tee, no trusts are declared therein, but
he Is given power to convey the lots by
sale. On December 5 Needham executed
a certain declaration of trust, which was
not recorded for more than year after
its execution.
Mr.. Newman alleges that he is the owner
or promissory notes amounting to $1,000
made by Mrs Chase, and. that while they
are not described in the declaration of
trust referred to, they were intended. 1t
IS further stated that the trust requires
Needham to sell the lots within one year
out ne mas not dODe so, and therefore the
creditors of Mrs. Chase are unable to Sc
cure judgment
1t is asked that the defendants be re-
CURED to disclose the cont ents of any other
declaration of trust if there be any. and
that trustees be appointed to enforce the
trust described.

ADJUSTMENTS,

The Saengerbund Concert.-The Wash
ington Saengerbund held its second con-
cert Of this season at the Academy Of Mu-
sic last evening. The audience was a
large one. The soloists were Mrs. Kitty
Thompson Berry, Miss Margaret Eichhorn
and Mr.. Max Kaestl of Baltimore. The
conductor was Mr.. William Waldecker, and
an orchestra of twenty-five pieces sus-
tanned the vocal music. The work of the
band was an improvement even over that
of the last concert. and fully deserved the
applause 1t received. The orchestral num-
bers were also well performed. Mrs. Berry
sang with her accustomed ease and effect,
and Miss EichhOrn displayed a contralto
voice of much purity and power. Mr..
kaestl proved himself master of the vio-
lin, and his ability was promptly recoS-
nized Prof. Waldecker has cause for great
satisfaction at the result of these two con-
certs, both from a musical and financial
standpoint.
The C. C. Course.-Win Carleton. the
ever popular poet, will deliver as the last
entertainment of the &c. c." Course his
beautiful poem lecture, Better Times,
at Metzerott Music Hail. Thursday even
ing next. Most of the authors who have
gained distinction have utterly failed as
lecturers, but Carleton is certainly an ex-
ception to the rule. He not only charms
his audience by his effective and graceful
delivery, by the wit, sparkle and beauty
of the lines delivered, but also by the
sound instruction contained within each
period. The sale of seats opened this morn
ing at Metzerott's.
Prof. Carpenter.-Prof. Carpenter still
continues to give exhibitions at Odd Fell
lows Hall every evening except Monday.
That these entertainments are amusing is
demonstrated by the crowded houses which
greet the professor at every performance,
and that they are instruo tive every CHE
knows. the prices are popular and the
box office is open every evening from to 4.
Lecture on MemCry.-Prof. Boyd will lee
tUre memory at Gurley Memorial
Church, Florida avenue northwest between
9th and 9Th streets. tonight. The lecture is
free. and ali are invited.
Calvary Baptist Church.-The concert of
the Schumann Lady Quartet of Chicago at
the Calvary Baptist Church tonight will
be an interesting event. The quartet will
be assisted by Miss Jessie G. Patton, elo-
cutioniSt, who is in charge of the elocu-
tionary branch of the Walter c. Lyman
School of Expression in Chicago.
New National Theater.-Willam II. Crane
gave his new play at the New National
Theater last Saturday with the most sat
iSfactory results. Washington is favored
with large share of the initial productions
of American attractions, and the presenta-
ton of new piece by SO promising
dramatic writer as Martha Morton by so
as William ii. Crane was an occasion
which merIted the attention which it had
at the hands of the public. His Wifes
Father is deity woven and fine ilbered.
1t has power, too, and with some slight
alterations will doubtless be highly Gu
joyabie feature of the company's roper
toire. Mr.. Crane played the role Of self
made man with his usual skill and vigor,
and the company seen to advantage
throughout the cast.

Notes.
Who is Responsible:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS S. j. NJ. is confessedly in no position
to be familiar with the interior life of a
great government department, he is pre-
sumably not aware that the injustices
are on the other side. The cases of "bru-
tally" and "indignity" which are some
times vaguely alluded to as existing, but of
which definite instance is never cited are
the fabrications or eXaggerations of mall
contents who are dissatisfied because they
are eSpected to render an approximate
eouiyalent for the salary which lney draw.
There are innumerable abuses On the part
of these same employees who claim TO be
unfairly treated which would secure their
prompt dismissal ii officially reported to
the Amounting and dscharglng power. The
reading Of books and newspapers and at
tending to private correspondence Often on
paper which the department pays for) dur
ing office hours. visiting from room 10
roc m. thus occupying both the time of the
visitor and the visited, and disturbing
Others by the conversation and feignlnS
illness in order to sh1rk duty, are difect
abuses of daily occurrence. Ihefe are lhdi-
rnct abuses of an equal, if not greater, eff
feet upon the efficiency of clerical employees.
T refer to the numbers of clerks who after
office hours are engaged IN occupations

of their duties In once VINO III lac. mercy
make their government positions personal
convenience. And when conscientious
Official endeavors to exact from them
nearer approximation to what the depart
ment has a right to expect in return for
the salaries that it pays, then there is an
underhand whisper of brutality ''cruel-
ty' etc. Investigation would probably de-
velop the fact that most of the cases OF
impaired eyesight, If real, are the results
of overtaxation outside of office.
But if there is any actual case of SUI
perior being unnecessarily severe toward
ar inferior, again 1 ask: Who on earth
compels the inferior to remain IN service
where he is subjected to such treatment?
