VI better age we now will sing,
In which our hero takes his part.
The world is better now than then,
And our champion has change of heart
The chuck luck bound is cast away
Morality and temperance now,
Forgive the follies of that day
And place laurel on his brow.
And crown him champion Of their cause.
And 10! behold with voice and pen
He advocates our numerous laws
Made to redeem all men.
Redeemed by law, oh happy day
Oh, happy thought, how sweet to liyel
In days like this we need not pray
But let us not forget to give.
A word Of praise and alteration
To the men who save our nation,
From intemperance and damnation.
From the bllstering curse of rum.
How Republicans all shouted
When the Pops last fall were routed.
Long their orators had spouted
How they would redeem the state
From intemperance's damning sin
Made so by the foul Lewelling.
A Morrill, who would morals save
And wrest this country from the grave.
The credit Of our state restore
And do ten thousand things or more
So everything should happy be
In his great reign of prosperity.
Low interest then we could command.
And capital would come tumbling in,
That had been driven from our land
BY the bold and bad Lewellin'

TO Capt. NOttner's Departure.
A farewell service on account OF the early
departure of Capt Nottner and Lieut.
Campbell, OF the Salvation Army, was
held last evening at headquarters, No $50
Pennsylvania avenue. The hall was
crowded to its utmost capacity by those
who came "to bid the captain goodby''
and to hear the farewell addresses By her
and Lieut. Campbell
After making a last appeal to those
present who had not as yet accepted Christ.
both Capt NOttner and Lieut.. Campbell
thanked the people for the courtesy and
many kindnesses received at their hands.
II was the last opportunity, perhaps. they
would ever have TO talk to them, and they
would not let il pass without inpIoring
them TO choose the right path and follow

in the back and at the sides Black slippers
are ordered, and their butterfly bows
twinkle with emeralds.
Far more simple and a reminder,
maybe, of the bygone days of girlhood,
is a princess frock of white silk, over
which is draped white chiffon. A mar
yelous belt of pearls clasps it at the
waist, and more pearls are sewn about
the low-cut corsage, and gather at the
elbow the full-puffed chiffon sleeves.
An odd dress, and one that one should
be quite sure of oneself before copying,
is of white satin, with deep Spanish lace
flounce at the bottom, reaching almDsttothe
knees. Heading this flounce isan odd border
of blue green jet, making the queerest aud
most successful of color combinations.
The pointed bodice of white satin is cut
short on the hips and finished with
sleeve puffs of the lace, and with deep
band of the blue-green galloon across the
bust, against the fair skin.

POST VISITATION.
Old Fellows Had Plenty of Fun at
Soldiers Home.


Potomac Corps gave an enjoyable recep-
ton on Saturday evening TO Wilson Post
of the Soldiers Home. and the veterans
of Potomac Post, to which the corps is
auxiliary. The reception was held in
the corps room on Ninth street. A refined
and bright progra mme, musical and
literary, was rendered, among the singers
being Miss Sharpe, Miss Mas and Miss
Flynn. There was a fine flute obligato
by Mr.. Cox, violin solo by MI Robb
piano duet by Misses Flynn and Orr, and
throughout the evening Mr.. Robb played
some excellent dance music.
The ladies Of the corps, presided over by
their president, Mrs. Nora Edgar, had an
experience meeting in which each member
contributed a sum of money to the funds
of the corps and told how she earned it.
In most cases what the women earned
the street railways lost. 1t was jolly
sort of an experience party.
The commander Of Wilson Post, Major
Moore. made few remarks in which he
paid the ladies of the Relief Corps a
splendid tribute. and several OF the other
comrades made little talks. Mr. Reed
gave a dialect seTmonand Comrade Heimrod
read a dialect experience" both of which
convu lsed the audience. Mrs. Isabel
worrell Bali read q story OF THE pension
that was stopped" Cake and ice cream
were served throughout the evening.

there's no warmth in ii, but this is a minor
consideration.
l note decided preference for black in
the designing OF capes A lady who con-
fesSes to middle age will prefer a compro-
mise garment, which, with its distinct
sleeves of black silk or satin and Espa gnole
lace falling well below the elbows, is a
cross between mantle and cape. Such
mantle usually has broad long sash ends
falling well toward the knee in front. A
younger wrap seldom allows any hint of
itself TO fan below the waist line, and viii
likely stand straight out from the plated
neck in accordion plaits of silk net SHIN
mering, with narrow bands OF satin

DELUGE AND TRADITIONS.
Rev. DR.. Hugh Johnston's Discourse
on the Ark and Its Lesson.

Rev. DIR. Hugh Johnston's Discourse
on the Ark and Its Lesson.
Rev. Hugh Johnston spoke on The Flood
and It's Traditions" before an unusually
large congregation at the Metropolitan NJ.
E. Church yesterday morning. His text
was taken from the seventh chapter of
Genesis and the sixth verse: And Noah
was six hundred years old when the flood
was upon the earth
'Noah was Just man and stood up for
Cod said DR.. Johnston. The ark was
a powerful structure and was prepared
after Gods own design. The Bible tells
us that when the great flood came the
terrified inhabitants fled to the mountain
tops and the lions and wolves climbed TO
the highest rocks, but the waters rolled
and rolled until the last monster who de-
fled the word of God was swept off the
face of the earth The flood was uni
versai and destroyed all mankind"
1T is a fearful thing TO fail into the hands
of the living God. The construction of the
ark was warning most impressive. What
was the cross of Calvary? 1t was the reve-
Iation of the law of Christ. Through the
God is our ark. If we will not come into
this ark, then the flood Will surely come
and sweep us away.
Seek the Lord now while he may be
found. Our only safety lies right with
Him. God is our ark and through Him,
like Noah, we become heirs sofrighteousneSs.' y

SLAVE MARRIAGES.
Question of Their Validity Involved
in a Real Fstate Suit.

Question of Their Validity Involved
in a Real Estate Suit
A suit involving the problems of slave
marriages in Maryland and Iorg undis-
turbed possession Of property without per-
feet title has been for two days on trial
before Judge Bradley. II is the case OF
Mary Mason against Leopold Luchs for
possession of No. 2511 N street northwest,
and Of some real estate near Twentieth
aud L streets northwest
Mrs. Mason and her children claim, as
the heirs of her husband, whom she mar
ried in st. Mary's county, Md, before the
war. The ceremony was performed by
a Catholic priest, aud was with the con-
sent OF their masters. Mason Afterwards
came to Was hingtOu and married another
woman, by whom he had children, all now
dead
Last winter his wife, Francis Mason,
brought suit against Luchs to recover pos
session, but ne then introduced the present
complainant, and Secured a partial vic
tory. That case has now been set aside,
to await the result of this contest. Mr..
Luchs is now bringing forward Francis
Mason and her witnesses to defend his
title against Mary Mason.
The widow is represented by L. Cabell
Williamson; Mr.. Luchs by H. b. MOui-
ton and William A Cook.
The court on Saturday allowed the
prosecution to withdraw Juror and renew
their demand, amending it so as TO ask
for a part of the estate.
The ruling by Judge Bradley indicates
that if either set Of heirs has a Just
claim, both have.

MOUNT PLEAsANT's ENGINE.
Its Installation in Its Home VIII Be
Duly Celebrated.

DHlS SSleDEdtcu
In very few days Mount Pleasant will
be protected by it's new fire engine, which
is in reality a fire department in itself. The
new Holloway chemical engine, purchased
by the District government for that bustling
and thriving suburban colony, was tested
at 1915 o'clock yesterday afternoon by
the company OF Truck B, Foreman Sher-
man in command.
The test was witnessed by CommiS-
sioner Ross, DR.. Godding. of ST Elizabeth
Insane Asylum; Chief Engineer Paris.
First Assistant Lowe, and Mr.. Ross
Holloway, OF Baltimore. The engine
worked perfectly in every detail.
1t is q double S5-galion tank and dis
400 feet of hose, one 30-foot extension
ladder, one 14-foot scaling ladder, two
fire hooks, two johnson force pumps, one
6-gallon hand fire extinguisher, two
extra sets of chargers, and is considered
a very fine engine and whole village
fire company on four wheels
When placed in service within the next
week or so the Mount Pleasant chemical Will
be manned by six men. They Will probably
be selected from the old and experienced
men in the several city companies, and
Foreman Sherman, of Truck B, will be
placed in charge.
The Mount Pleasant firehouse is COM
pleted and ready for occupancy. 1t is
situated on Fourteenth street, near Park
street, opposite the power house. There
is some talk of making the manning OF
the new company the occasion for eele-
bration by the citizens of the pretty town
on the hill.

white cut beads that quiver and sparkle
with every rise and fall of the bosom and
every ripple of merry laughter. More beads
are woven into a dainty belt at the waist,
and yet others are used in narrow edgings
to strap the skirt seams. The bodice is
sleeveless, except for a rain of bead fringe
over the pretty white arms. White suede
gloves are ordered to complete the cos
tune, and knot of gold and white and
cherry color to wear in the hair.
Another reception dress belonging to this

with the most exquisite black gauze.
The gauze in its turn is spangled with
emerald beads, producing an effect quaint,

CHARITIES OF The CAPITAL
Col. Tracey's Statements Regarding
Them at the National Conference.
Those in Existence and in Contempla-
tion VIII Put the City Abreast
with the Best Equipped

Col. John Tracey, delegate OF the District
to the national conference OF charities and
correction, now in session at New Haven,
Conn, presented yesterday an interesting
exhibit of the District Institutions, in
which were outlined some Of the signifi-
cant lessons drawn from practical knowl-
edge OF the system here for the preserya-
ton, the education, and the reformation
of ''those dwellers ia our country who are
objects of public care or philanthropic
solicitude.'
Detailing at some length the workings Of
the system, and the means of it's perpetual
tion, Col Tracey described three charac-
teristics which, he said, are worthy Of con-
sideration, touching the charities and cor
rectional methods in vogue here. The
first is that the system has been promoted
by the benevoleuce and enterprise OF all
sections of the country; the second is the
partnership between the people of the
United States aud the residents of the Dis
trict; the third is of an chronological nature,
and involves the exemplification OF the race
problem.
The amounts appropriated respectively
for eight successive years, with a list of
the beneficiary institutions are given,
the appropriations provided for being as
follows:

I heard of an odd way, yesterday. OF
acquiring a pretty tea gown. A little
woman, who wanted a uegligee, for use
on strictly informal occasions, undertook
to buy one in blue silk 1t cost $50. The
little woman hesitated, but was not lost.
She did not have the $50, so she could not
lose herself, or, at least it. As she
looked at it regretfully she asked il
hesitating voice: Where are the silk
nightgowns?"
The saleswoman directed her, but re-
marked warningly: You know they're
nothing but night gowns; you can't wear
one OF them outside your bedroom"
The little woman wasn't at all sure
she could but still she went to investigate.

driven fore and aft, and its two great
plumes nodding high on either side.
This combination OF yellow crown and
black brim figured, too, in pert little
shapes, turned smartly up before and be-
mind, which bob about on saucy prattle
pates OF girls who like things feminine.
And the rioting plumes do not al ways

me to-day to observe that there were six
teen black plumes playing hide and seek

at the roguish black eyes under the brim.
Out of the heat OF early May came a
cold blast as if from the pole, and the
street blossomed again with wraps-sum-
mer wraps this time, though the air was
far from summery. And thus we got
foresight of the wraps which will be worn
by sea and in wood month or more
from now. For we do not hark back to the
modes OF spring.
The cape has its advantages in the day
of big sleeves. 1t is light, it doesn't crush
or wrinkle the delicate fabrics beneath,
