BOARD OF TRADES POSITION.

Not Inclined to Favor Leglslating Su-
perintendent of Cha rifles Out.
How charity shall be dispensed, is one
OF the most vexatious questions before
the various organizations that are an
nually called on or mulcted to pay for the
visiting mendicants of all States to Wash
iDgton.
Inc citizens were called on last year Tor
$4,000, and Congress appropriated S1O,-
900, which gave u small number of men
a few days work at a dollar day, ana
1t is thought that the expectation of an
other appropriation will have the effect
OF bringing here another horde, or appii-
cants for such aid. Several methods have
been suggested, but none OF them seem
to have been universally approved.
The Times published a few days ago the
statement that IT was the inteution of the
Board OF Trade to recommend bill to
Congress, the main purpose Of which was
the abolition OF the office OF superintendent
OF charities and the establishment of
board OF charities with representatives
thereon from the charity Institutions OF
this city.
When a Times man went out yesterday
to discover what had further been done in
this line, 1t was discovered that there has
been a somewhat sudden change of base
in this matter, and the likelihood Is that
the board VIII not adopt any such fesolu-
ton II presented, or any such recominenda'
tion If made by the committee of charities.
The members of the committee would
not be interviewed on the subject, but
several members who tatkcd, were against
it.
President Warner was in the chair at
that meeting and took no part in the
discussion. After the meeting Col. John
Tracey, the superintendent OF charities,
was interviewed on his anticipated de-
capitatioD, but he decliied to talk on the
merits of the case, or even on Its de-
merits. 4

Washington Grad mates of the Tniver-
sity OF Virginia to Raise Funds.
The executive committee of the Society
of Alumni of the University of Virginia
met last evening al the office Of Z. G. Lee,
No. 1405 + street northwest, and after
wiring regrets 10 the faculty and students
OF the university determined 10 issue a
call for n public meeting of the Washing
ton alumni and other friends OF the instiiu-
ton, which will be held ut Willard Hall
on Saturday evening
The first act Of the executive committee
after having been called to order last
evening was to send dispatch TO the
faculty and students, rendering the SYM
pathy of its Washington sons. Then
plans were developed for the meeting
to be held on Saturday night.
The gratuitous use of Willard Hall was
permitted by the Messrs. Lewis. Secretary
Herbert, who is president OF the local
association, will preside, and after few
explanatory remarks, Will introduce Post
master General Wilson, who will be fol-
lowed by Solicitor General Holmes Conrad,
Rev. Randolph McKini, and Leigh Robin
son.
Then the work of raising funds will
begin. 1t is likely that the fund which
the association has on hand for the erect ion
or a monument 10 the confederate alumni
who fell in the late war, will be trans
fcrred TO 4 rebuilding fund.

were: E. i. Rennick, W. d. Cabell, l.. n.

Be OH View Every Night.
The fair of the Corcoran Cadets opened
last night at National Rifles Hall with such
a fine attendance and variety of entertain
ment, which will be constant quantity,
that it is easy TO anticipate the complete
success of the undertaking. AT 10 O'Clock
1t was only possible to get through the
bustling crowd by the process of energetic
elbowing.
= In the absence of Gen. Ordway the
speech of welcome and official opening
of the fair was made by Col. William G..
Moore, of the First Regiment, in his
felicitous style.
The hall is lavishly :-''-'' -iih flags
and streamers, AMI IL, quite
prettily decorated vii .'id at
tractive colors.
Besides these there are If bicy-
Clcs, kodaks and carriages ,..... :. Multitude
of lesser articles, all of which may be had
In manners which are to be learned from
the interesting people who have them
in charge.
Two Of the special features of the enter
tainment last evening, We're the dancing of
Miss Lily Evans and an exhibition of
marionettes by Prof. Harris.
There is a fine band in attendance SO
that there is just now no place where q
more pleasant or profitable evening may
be spent than at the National Rifles
armory.
The W. L. T., the brigadier's staff. and
the Victor Drum Corps were the guests
of the Cadets last evening. The w. L. /.
and the Cadets as their escort, marched
through the hall after the opening of the
entertainment were cheered as they
filed by.
The programme has been so arranged that
there will be something new every even
ing. Tonight, in addition TO a pas seul,
there will be an exhibition of legertlemain.

Queer Clothes of the Women of the
Nawab Harem.
An account OF a visitI paid to the zenana,
or harem, of a Aohammedan M wab in ma
tive state may not be without interest, says
the London Queen.
A carriage and mounted escort of SOL
diers were sent at 8 O'Clock one morning to
convey us TO the castle. A gate in the im-:
nIense walls of tine compound led us into
the ill kept gardens. Passing from these
into the courtyard and through long col
onnades and untidy passages, we were
conducted finally into the zenana-
A large and lofty room with walls on
three SIDES and colonnade opening into q
court yard was the apartment in Which We
were received. Chairs were brought for
our accommodation, but, with the excep-
ton of the mating on the floor, the place
was without furniture.
Women, some young and tan, others
old and wrinkled, passed and repsssed
while we waited for the begun to appear.
They were all dressed iii the same fashion.
Trousers of light colored damasks or
satin clothed them from the waist.
These pantaloons were baggy above, but
so close-fitting from the knees downward
that tney have to >oe Sc wn up after they are
on. They are unsewed and removed once
a week Tor the bath.
A short bodice, reaching just below the

graceful folds from the hips and shoulders.
The begun kept US waiting and We were

all her jewels to do US honor.
Presently she came Ina small, young
woman, with an oval, immobile face and
smooth, black hair. She wore tight trousers
of a rich green damask, and a sari of cloth Of
gold; on her bare ankles Were anklets of IN
cut emeralds and diamonds, said to be worth
40, 900 rupees; onher arms were large num-
ber Of jeweled bangles and armlets; on her
fingers rings of beautiful rubies and dia-
mouds; round her neck were strings of fine
pearls, and. suspended by studs OF large dia-
monds in the outer rim of the ears. she wore
across the hair, at the back of the head,
pearls, emeralds and rubies. prettily set as
a kind of collarette. The ears were pierced
In several places to allow rings and jewels
to be inserted, and In the nose a small dia-
mond was worn.
The little jeweled lady did not speak Eng
lsh, and after We had admired her jewelry
conversation soon came to an end. Her wee
baby was brought in, dressed in colored silk
with gold-laced cap on its little bald head
The uawab Joined US. and there was much
lively chat over the object of our visit to the
state. In such Zenana the most rigorous

that he had. yesterday morning suleinnizeo

This Is the first time this certificate

The law does not directly require the
clergymen to come to the clerks office
and mase the certificate, but such certifi>
cate ma kes proof Of marriages much

District conform to the custom on this SUBJ
ject.
