DR.. nord's Lecture.

The lecture of the Rev. DR.. D. ]. Stafford
at the New Gonzaga College Hall next Sun
day night on THE Catholic Church, Our
Age and Country will be one of the chief
events of the week. DIR. Stafford is so well
known In Washington, and his powers of
oratory are appreciated to such an extent
here, that the mere mention of his name
as speaker Is sufficient to crowd most any
edifice. but his subject at the coming lee
ture. so appropriate to the time and events
which have taken place, will lend addi-
tio1al force to his appearance. DR.. Stat
ford has been heard in Washington on 4
good many subjects, but 1t is doubtful if
he could have chosen more fitting one
than he did to present next Sunday night.
His force of oratory and his characteristics
of speech and delivery we'll known
that 1T is safe to say that the new hall will
be Just as crowded the other houses in
which he has lectured have been.

The regular weekly meeting of District
Assembly. No. Sc. Knights Of Labor, which
was held last evening, was attended by the
delegates from thirty-one local assemblies.
A request by the delegates from the
Bakers Drivers Assembly, that the Dis
trict Assembly indorse their protest against
the delivery of bread on Sunday, led to a
lengthy discussion. and it was finally
agreed that committee, representing the
Bakers Drivers Assembly and the Bakers
and Confectioners' Union respectively
should wait on the bakery proprietors and
ask them not to take orders for delivery on
that day.
The financial secretary made a report, ac-
cording to which it was stated the District

MIR. KALBFUS RETIREs.
Will Not Act Further as q Second for
MIR. Hutchins.


MIR. Hutchins.
Mr.. Thomas B. Kalbfus, who was Sc
lected by Mr.. Stilson Hutchins to repre-
sent him in making the arrangement for
his proposed joint debate with Mr.. Henry
E. Davis, has withdrawn from all participa-
ton in the affair. Mr.. Kalbfus gives his
reasons fer this action in letter he wrote
yesterday evening to Mr.. c. v. Gates. Mr..
kalbfus stated in his letter that he did
not have any desire to have any further
connection with the matter, and that this
desire as increased by a perusal of Mr..
Gates letter of yesterday, which," Mr.
kalbfus writes. contains misstatemeuts
SO gross that could not have any further
conference whatever with you on any sub
ject. Fortunately, there was a witness
present who can testify to the grossest of
your mac curacies, to use no harsher term
In conclusion. Mr.. Kalbfus says: Should
Mr.. Davis appoint some one else to act
for him / would be willing to arrange the
matter substantially on the terms he de-
sires. Should he prefer to continue you as
his representative l know Mr.. Hutchins
will appoint some one else, as he is willing
to waive almost anything to crafty Mr..
Davis in his newborn zeal to attack the
faith Of which he was once SO brilliant an
exponent"

STRUCK THE RABBI.
Mr.. Stein Ansered Because His Sol
Was Married.

Mr. Stein Angered Because His Son
Was Married.
Rabbi Jacob Samuels and officers Of the
Jewish Synagogue at 9th and G streets
were in Judge Miller's court this morning to
tell the court of an alleged assault commit
ted on the rabbi by Abraham Stein, 7th
street storekeeper. The affair happened
last Saturday during services. and was the
result Of an i'll feeling on the part of Mr..
Stein because his parson had married his
(Stein's) grown son without his knowledge
or consent.
Mr.. Stein struck me in the mouth and
Samuels. He struck me SO hard that 1t
made me sick"
What made him strike your the court
inquired.

two years old. He told me ne didn't want
to work for his father any longer. and he
was going to work for himself. He got the
there and married him."
Lawyer Foster. for the defendant, en-
oeavored TO snow on cross-examination that
the blow was accidental. but failed.
Il extended him my hand to pay him the
honor that l pay my people," said the
rabbi. "and he took me by one hand and
struck me with the other"
ficted without a word being said. The
blow, he thought, was hard enough to kill
an ordinary person. He said he wanted to
strike Mr.. Stein, but he refrained from do
ing so. When he saw the blood drawn from
Rabbi Samuels by the blow he grabbed Nj.
Stein and prevented further trouble.
Witnesses told the court that when the
holy scroll was taken out Mr.. Stein was
one OF the seven men called up to the
blessing. but he refused to respond. 1t was
when the services were nearly over and
Rabbi Samuels called him up to shake
lands with him that the alleged assault
was committed.
Mr.. Stein told the court that his son hal
been married without a license obtained
here and without his being present at the
ceremony. This had grieved him very
much. and would continue to grieve him all
his life. He declared that the blow was
accidental, and resulted from his effort to
keep from shaking hands
Judge Miller told him he thought his tenn.
per got the better of him, and fined him

Etiquette of "NOtes."

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
There is etiquette about everything,
even about the way a woman ought to write
her notes. Considering all things, it is per-
haps as we'll that woman should read,
mark and inwardly digest the laws that
ought to rule her conduct when she takes
up the pen." Two things, above all others,
betray the inelegant or unaccustomed let
ter writer. If she be guilty of neglecting
the margin at each side of the page, or if
she SO far forgets her precepts as to add
j P. s.. she is forever doomed. Society is
exact in details, and society declares such
omission or commission to be the unpar-
donable sin. The note. to be correct, must
be written upon paper of medium size.
preferably clean white. and must be
clear and distinct. The monogram is
stamped on the paper, or the crest, II one
have the right; but upon the inside of the
flap of the envelope must be the address.
When the writer has borne all these facts
in mind. and has signed her unabbreviated
name, she may rest content.
