Their Fourth Annual Dinner a Big sue
cess in Menu and Spirit
The fourth annual dinner Of the Lehigh
University Club at the Down Town Club last
night was quiet until the menu cards were
thrown aside. Then the dining-room rang with
the old college songs, and sides fairly aehed at
the quips and iests bringing memories OF the
days at college-that is, leaving out the
freshman days.
The twenty young men gathered around
the festive board reflect great credit on their
alma mater If they are fair examples, for it
is rare that finer body of that number is
assembled together. There were no toasts
appointed, and the excellent menu and the
spirit OF reminiscent fellowship were de-
pended upon mainly for the pleasures Of the
evening.
The newly elected officers Of the club for
the following year are I. W BIrney, 50,
president; Ralph P. Barnard, 80, first vice
president. and Aired Doolittle, 81, second
vice president.

An Excellent Programme Well Rendered
BY Local TaIent-New Features,

An Excellent Programme Well Rendered
By Local TaIent-New Features.
The monthly ''smoker" at the Columbia
Athletic Club last night was a success in
every way.
Chairman Alex Shaw and DR.. W. r. King,
of the amusement committee, seem to have
an endless mine ofgood things TO draw from,
and each smoker seems to exceed the former
one in variety and qualify OF attractions.
The gymnasium, in which the nun and
music held forth, was crowded to the doors
with guests of the club, who thoroughly en-
1oyed all the good things provided by the
amusement committee and handed out in
piecemeal by DR.. King than whom there
is no better master of ceremonies.
Between the several numbers Davy's Or
chestra played selections.
The Tuxedo Guitar and Mandolin Quar-
tet, always a welcome visitor here, opened
the entertainment with several well-ren-
dered selections played iR mastery manner.
A novel feature introduced was that by
Henry Hills in lightning drum major baton
Juggling, followed by Master Sol Goldsmith
in faithful Irish and Italian limitations and
specialties.
After A J. Kmmell had given several
amusing recitations. which were well re-
ceived, genial Tom Wilkinson, Jr., resi- ponded
of his musical specialties in good style and
gave limitations OF popular actors and club
members.
Eugene Coffin played a saxophone solo
and G. Fitzgerald sang several comic
songs.
Masters Sol Goldsmith and Henry Hills
again appeared and made one Of the hits"
of the evening with their sketch, THE Ger
man Senator's" in costume. Then came
Sam Ireland, of Kentucky, and he is now
known as the monologue artist. He told
new stories in the same old way and old
stories in new way. and OF course made
q hit.
The Georgetown Banjo and Guitar CLUB
rendered in splendid manner Love and
Beauty" waltzes, and TO the encore played
Dixie PATROL which latter was enthusi-
astically received The members composing
the club are c. Woodville, director; +. NJ.
Ball, j P. Willett, Jr., Fred Thompson,
j. S Ball, and T. L. Hume.
Songs and recitations by other talent
filled out the programme and rounded off
a most enjoyable evening and one of the
clubs most successful SMOKERS.

One Woman's Work.

AS he opened the door and entered the
room, he was struck by feeling of loneli-
ness and desolation.
A sudden chilling sense of some myster
ious and indefinable change stole over
him.
ALI tho well known objects of his daily
life-his pipe, the pictures on the wall,
the books ranged on the open shelves, the
the thousand and one little articles of
bric a-brac scatterd here and there
seemed strange and unfamiliar.
AS he sank gloomily into chair and
buried his face in his hands he recognized
that the place had lost its charm forever.
That this little space bounded by those
four walls, within which he had spent the
scanty leisure moments snatched with
difficulty from years of arduous. inces-
SAINT toll, would never be the sa me
for him again.
That everything was altered through a
woman's direful influence.
For an instant he realized. with the
swiftness of mans most subtitle intuition,
that his worst apprehensions were only
too true

EDITOR DANA'S BILLINSGATB.
1t Brings Two More Newspapers to the
Defense of Mr. Noyes.


New York, Feb. 23.-The Brooklyn
Eagle this evening says in part: The declar-
ations in the New York Sun have attracted
the attentionofM f. B. Noyes, ofthe Wash
ington Star newspaper, since some OF them
directly dealt with him. He announces his
intention at once TO force judicial test
of the Suns accusations against him on the
line and in the light of the actual facts in the
case
The Eagles experience with Mr. Noyes
has been such as to indicate that he is thor
oughly honest director, as Well as an ex-
cellent, kindly, and friendly man.
Baltimore, Md, Feb. 23.-The American
says: While processing to advocate the
claims of the United Press, to which it be-
longs, the New York Sun yesterday morning
went out of its way to make q mostundigni-
fled and wicked assault upon the personal
character of Mr.. Frank B. Noyes, the Cner-
getic, capable, and popular manager of the
Washington Evening Star. The Asso-
ciated Press, of which Mr.. Noyes is one OF
the directors, and which also furnishes
telegraphic news for the readers of the
American, has so completely distanced
its opposition that the Sun, which is the
most prominent member of that opposition,
has grown frantic, and its editor has for
gotten his dignity. He is beating against
the air, however, in his rage, and made
colossal mistake in choosing for his target
a man who stands so high in the newspaper
fraternity and in theesteem ofthe community
in which he lives.
A man of sterling integrity, as well as Of
unusual ability, MIR. Noyes has no occasion
to institute proceedings against the Sun
to vindicate his character. The suit which he
declares it is his purpose to bring, however,
may have the effect of deterring the Sun
from a repetition of its reckless utterances.

Judge Cox Probably VIII Decide Against
Young WnInen,s Christian Home.

Judge Cox Probably Will Decide Against
Young Women's Christian Home
The claim of the Young Women's Chris
tiau Home, No. 311 C street northwest, to
the estate of Miss Sophia Rhodes, was ar
gued before Judge Cox yesterday. Mrs.
Rhodes brother and sister, of Batavia,
Ohio, through Congressman Hulick, are
contesting the Homes claim.
Judge Cox, after hearing the arguments,
admitted the will to probate, but reserved
his decision as to the appointment of an
administrator.
1t is the impression that the heirs had
the better of the argument and that the
admins TRAITOR they desire Will be ap-
pointed.
Mr. Hulick claimed for them that in the
ordinary course of descent, the property
would come to them, and that the burden
of proof lay upon the Home to show
that the order OF death of Miss Rhodes and
her son at the sinking of the steamer Elbe
was such as to give the property to the
Home. The decision anticipated will
lose for the home property valued at
SAC. 600.

be difficult to revive it after the failure
of its friends to command more than "a

feeling was aroused by the effort to take

German, the latter responded hotly, criti-
cised the management of the bill, and
declared that Mr.. Butler was ''piqued"
On the Republican side, Mr.. Chandler
and Mr.. Wolcott were involved in sharp,
personal criticisms as result of their

Just at O'Clock last night, as the Senate
stood between the Indian appropriation
bill and the sundry civil bill, Senator Pet
tigrew begged a moment from colleague
who had the floor, and offered resolution
for which he said he would ask unanimous
consent to consider at once. 1t proved to
be a provision permitting the remains OF
Frederick Douglass to lie in state in the TO-
tunda of the Capitol from 10 a. m. to p

reading when the sonorous voice OF Senator
German said firmly: Let it go over.
