ST. ANDREWS brotherhood,
MIR. Alexander HaddOn Studying the
Local OrganizatiOn.

Local Organization.
Mr. Alexander NJ. Haddon of New York
has been in Washington the past few days
as the guest of Bishop Satterlee, and his
visit is fraught with a good deal of i'm
portance to the local members of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew. Mr. Haddon.
who was formerly secretary to Bishop.
then Dr., Satterlee. and president of the
New York City Local Assembly, Is now
associate to General Secretary John w.
Wood of the brotherhood Last year, dur
ing the annual self-denial week. more than
enough money was realized to carry out
the work in foreign lands, so that the sur
plus is now being used for the first time in
home missions. Mr.. Haddon is therefore,
visiting the principal cities of the United
States, gathering statistics and finding
weak spots in the organization to be
strengthened later.
Last Sunday he held two meetings in
Washington for that purpose, one at Trim
ity and the other at St Johns. Yester-
noon at Epiphany and the second and final
one at Christ Church, Georgetown at night
At all of these meetings quite a number of
the officers of the twenty-three Washing
ton chapters were present by special invi-
tation. as we'll a number of the clergy.
The meetings partook largely of the nature
of personal conferences, and it is expected
that some months hence Mr.. Haddon will
nave SOIue pldHS u SuDLHlJ looking toward
united work.
In the meantime the Washington Council
Is formulating work of its own for the new
year. President Bryan has just appointed
the additional members of the executive
committee not selected at the late annual
meeting, so that it is now composed as fol-
lows: President, Barnabus Bryan, EN-
manuel Chapter; vice president, G. W.
Salter. ST. Johns; corresponding secretary
and treasurer, Frank NJ. Evans, St. Thomas
Chapter: recording secretary, c. E. Daw-
son, st. Andrews; chaplain Rev. Alex. M.
Rich, Trinity, and Messrs. w. B. Dent St.
Paul's; P. D. Brooks, St. Mary's: Henry M.
Marshall, st. Johns. and Fred w. Duvall,
Christ Church, Georgetown.
The first general meeting is to take place
on the evening of January Is, at St. Thomas
Church, and a committee has been appoint
ed to prepare a program, consisting of Mr..
Bryan and Rev. Mr.. Rich.

To tse Ed tor of The Evening Star.
The Star of the 2Sth instant contains
statement that in answer to complaint of
Mr. Louis Spaniar of 1413 G street north
west. relative to removal of telephone or
telegraph poles, the District of Columbia
Commissioners state that as the courts
have repeatedly held that the fee simple of
the streets of this city is in the United
States, the Commissioners cannot order the
removal of said poles, etc 1t is true the
courts have repeatedly SO held, but if this
ruling be correct, then by what legal right
or power can the District of Columbia COM
pei the owners of property abutting on
such street to pay the whole or any part of
the cost of paving, sewering, grading, or
otherwise improving said street. If streets
of this city belong to the United States by
virtue of what provision of the Constitu-
ton. statute or common law does Congress
derive any legal power or right to compel
an individual. even though he be an abut-
ting lot owner. to pay the whole or any
part of the cost of improving the adjoining
property of the United States or clean the
snow from the sidewalks?

There was fire in two-story frame
house at Florida avenue and I'd street
northeast last night. and although the total
less was not more than 800, it represented
the earthly goods of four colored families.
The fire was caused by the bursting of a
coal Oil lamp in the room occupied by
Ihomas walker One of Walkers children
had just lghted the lamp, and fortunately
Ter her she was not burned. Members cf
the four families did the bess they could to

the public to the goods and wares Of the

members are also full of vigorous youth, SO
it keeps abreast Of the times socially and
In business sense and is equally notable
for success in both directions. The BAN
quet last night was striking indication
of the social attractiveness of the club, and
probably no guest present ever enjoyed
himself more thoroughly on similar occa-
sion. The table decorations were hand
some and striking, and the repast one Of
the creations for which the Raleigh chef is
distinguished.
The members and their guests assembled
in the parlors adjoining the banQuetting

York, and Mr.. Perrine were present
as representatives of the Sphinx Club,
which is the organization Of the ad.
writers of Gotham. They invited the entire
membership of the Washington club to at
tend their approaching banquet In New
York, and Mr.. Perrine made a strong plea
for movement in behalf of forming clubs
in Philadelphia, Boston and other eastern
cities, with national association as an ulti-
mate object. All the other gentlemen pres
ent made remarks opportune to advertising
and it's proper direction SO as to secure the
best results, and a number of laughable
stories were told
The gentlemen present in addition to those
already mentioned were Mr.. Scott c. Bone,
maraging editor of the Post; Mr.. Emory
Foster, managing editor of the Times; Mr..

three cailers who wanted transportation.
One of them was an old soldier. named
John W. T. Briggs. who wanted free

asked
Cleveland, of course

1t was suggested that he used his jaws &C
much that the trouble resulted. All this

radiator. He was perfectly at home, and
really seemed sorry to leave when he was
Henry Royskee, who has lived on an oyster

had been badly frostbitten, and the sani.
tary officer wanted him to go to hospital

gin action against those whom he claimed

him out Of his money.
The third member of the trio was 6
