Feared in The Star, is receiving the finish
ing touches, and could easily be made
ready for dedication by the middle OF next
month, as was the origina. intention of it's
owners.
This program has been changed because

officials to invite some of the greatest men

ship, ard as the ministers wanted will be
in attendance at the meeting Of the gen.
eral conference OF the NJ. J.. Church at
Cleveland during the whole of May, it
Will be impossible for them to come to
Washington until later.
The dedication has, therefore, been post
poned until early in June, and the event
WILL 1t is believed, be one of the most
notable in the history of the churches be-
longing to the Baltimore conference. With
in the last few days the carpets have been
laid, peWs put in place, gas and electric
fixtures adjusted, and the magnificent me
mortal windows, which 1t is believed have
no superiors in the District of Columbia as
works of art, placed in the positions they
are to occupy.
The new church, as has been already said
in The Star would be the case, is a model
OF perfection as a church home, and is sup
piled with every necessary modern con-

5rstifably proud Of their beautiful edifice.

Georgetown (eaH.ps

To the Editor Of The Evening star:
Anent the remarkable testimony of Mr..
'Winship before a congressional committee
yesterday that in Georgetown, on the edge
of the Virginia coal belt, gas cannot be
made for less than $1.31, 1 ask you to re-
print these two items from the Outlook:
THE city of Glasgow has reduced the
price of gas from 90 to So cents per thou
sand feet. 1t has been the policy of the
city since the gas plant came under mu-
nicipal control to make the question Of
profit to the city treasury in a measure
subordinate to the question Of service to
the citizens. Yet the increase in the con-
sumption Of gas, with the successive re-
auctions in its price. has made the financial
outcome most satisfactory. At present the
city is renting over ten thousand gas
stoves to private families"
AT recent meettngsof the Philadelphia
councils a communication was received
from the Philadelphia Gas Company, Offer
ing the city $2O,OOOOO0 for its works. The
company agreed to pay into the city treas
ury 5 per cent of the profits after ten
years. and 10 per cent after fifteen years

Emancipation Celebrations.

Washington hospitality got John Williams
in trouble yesterday, and in his way of
celebrating freedom he got arrested and
now he is deprived Of his liberty. John is
young colored man, who came here three
days ago from Columbia S. c., and yesterday
he went out with several young men who
were strangers to him. to follow the band.
There was not much money in the crowd
and SO, instead of going into bar rooms
and drinking they rushed the growler'' to
get the most beer for the least money.
Washington beer did not set we'll on the
South Carolinian's stomach, and he pro-
ceeded to use language which Precinct De-
tective Barnes thought should not be toler-
ated. The result was that the officer ar
rested him and locked him up. Not guilty
was his plea when arragned in Judge KIM
balls court this morning.
The stranger told the judge that he had
only been here three days, and that he had
gone out to follow the band His COM
panfonS treated, and If he did anything
wrong he is sorry for it.
The judge was glad to hear him say he
was sorry for his conduct, but he could not
consistently let him go, and so the usual
fine was imposed.
Mary Carter had holiday yesterday, and
she celebrated the day by imbibing too
much strong liquor. Last night she made
an effort to do a skirt dance on the street,
and when Policeman Coffin found her she
was minus her skirt.
she mad broken glass; said the officer.
out the owner OF the house did not want
to prosecute her. When / saw her she was
in charge of some friends who were trying
to get her home
Mary thought she had not done anything
wrong, and the court excused her by taking
her personal bonds
Charlotte Coates, a young colored woman,
attended the ball in -Hillsdale last night
She had been drinking, SO the police said,
and to a charge of dsorderly her counsel
entered a plea of guilty. Her offense was
not of serious nature, and the court ac-
cepted her personal bonds.

VERDICT OF GUILTY.
Result of the Second OIeOmargarine
Case Yesterday.


Case Yesterday.
After celebrating about an hour, the
jury in the case of Wilkes c. Prather,
charged with violating the oleomargarine
law in selling the stuff as and for butter
without labelling 1t, as required by law, re-
turned a verdict Of guilty shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The con-
victed man was recommended to the mercy
of the court, and, after his counsel had
given notice Of motion for a new trial,
the man was released on bonds to await
sentence
The charge of Judge Cole to The jury was
brief one, and he impressed upon them
the fact that they should, in deciding the
case, disregard everything but the evil
dence. Their opinion Of the law should
play no part in the matter, nor should
that OF the court, if they imagined from
anything the court had said or done he
mad evidenced an opinion one way or the
other. Four questions were to be decided
Was the package produced in court cleo
margarine? Was it sold by the defendant
or by one for whom he was responsible ?
II SO sold, was it done knowingly? and
was 1t marked as required by law? If they
mad any reasonable doubt upon any one
or the questions the defendant should be
acquitted. Speaking of the connection of
Mr. James F. Oyster with the prosecution
of the alleged violators of the law, Judge
Cole remarked that they should not be in
nuenced one way or the other by the state
ment Mr.. Oyster made. A man has per-
feet right to seek the protection of the
law and to assist in its enforce nent.

1t stu further agreed to furnish gas to the
city for IS cents per Thousand cubic. feet,
and and to ., private Individuals At tbs present
option to buy the works back again. At
every one of these points the citizens were
to be placed in an Indefinitely better posi-
sition than those of New York-where gas
should be furnished much cheaper because
of the greater concentration Of population.
But the councils recognized the fact that
public ownership was the source of the adj
vantageous position now held by the city,
and returned the proposition with the an
nouncement that the city gas works were
not for sale"

CONTINUING THE CELEBRATION.
The Evening Of Eman cipatiOn Day
Filled With Pleasure.

The evening of Emancipation day was
turned to account by the colored citizens
of Washington in number Of meetings In
various parts Of the city. The Blaine In
vincible Club met at John Wesley M. e.
Church. on Connecticut avenue, and listened
to speech by Perry Carson. His subject
was announced as 1.-The Old and the New
Negro" but he said he intended to talk
at random and say what he pleased, which
he did. He said he had a misery" in his
breast, and ought to be at home with his
wife, his cat and his dog, but he couldn't
let go the chance to tell his people some
necessary truths. Among other things, he
charged them with being ashamed of them
selves, and the fact that their ancestors
were slaves.
II should have seen 10000 negroes in the
procession today" said the colonel. but you
are ashamed to let the white people see that
your mothers were slaves and that you are
proud because you are emancipated. If you
are going to celebrate emancipation as you
should. begin tomorrow and prepare for a
grand celebration next year. You will never
get anything you don't look forward to. I've
had my eye on a certain Office for twenty
years, and I'll get 1t yet"
Col Carson also charged his people with
ingratitude to Frederick Douglass. and de-
clared they ought to build a monument to
his memory. The permanent Emancipatio
Association was criticised severely, Col
Carson boldly declaring that he knew sew
erai senators VINO had given $50 each
toward yesterdays celebration, and the
money had not gone to the uses for which it
was intended.
John w. Bell, Col. Carson's alternate to
the republican convention, and l.. H. Peter
son spoke. After the speaking supper was
spread in the basement Of the church.
A musicale was given at Metropolitan Bap-
list Church, participated in by the Howard
University Mandolin and Glee Club and a
number of Soloists.
There was a large mass meeting in George
town at Mt. Zion Church, 10Th street where
an address was delivered by Prof John NJ
Langston.
me all-day reception at Metropolitan Bap-
list church. 18th and r streets, where many
OF the visitors to the city were welcomed
ana entertained, lasted until II o'clock at
night. Refreshments were served by a COM
m!ttee of ladies.
There were dances at the halls of nearly
all the colored social associations through
out the city.
