TALMAGE ON
ARBITRATION.
What the Noted Divine Has
to Say of.the Treaty.

Washington, Jan. r7-Dr.
|. Dewitt Talmage il. his ser
mon Sunday morning. referred
TO the arbitration treaty in the
following language:
The mightiest, grandest
movement for driving brutal
war out of the earth dates
from January II. 1897. The
men who on either side of the
sea did most to effect that plan
OF arbitration have made them
selves immortal. The even
ing of the present administra-
ton of the United States gov
eminent has been honored
with one of the gladdest events
of eighteen centuries. All civ
ilized nations will copy the sub
lime example l implore the
ilidstrious senate of the United
States to allow nothing to in
terfere with a vote of ratihca
ton; that the bells of Christen
dom may ring out Peace on
earth, good will to men.
Senators, many of you my
personal friends, let me say
this is the opportunity of your
life. By emphatic and enthu
slastic votes rise, rise to the
level of Heaven. Let the ave,
aye, sound through all the cap
itals of Europe, all the armo
ries of the world hear their
shouts. The worst thing that
you can do for a man is to save
him."

WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
Five Hundred Spanish Troops
Taken Into Havana.

Key West, Florida, January
I7.-News was received by
the steamship from Havana to
the effect that over 500 wound
ed Spanish soldiers had arriv-
ed in Havana within the past
forty-eight hours from Arte-
misa and other sections in the
west, thus substantiating re-
ports of Cuban victories in
that section, as sent in this
correspondence some days
ago. It's reported in Havana
that the field hospitals in that
section are now overcrowded,
and that much against his
will, Weyler had to order the
removal here of these men. A
large proportion are suffering
from machete wounds, show
ing conclusively the nature of
the engagements. 1t has
leaked out that Weyler did
intend going to the front in
Havana and Matanzas prov
inces this weed, but that owing
to the more recent disturb
ances reported in and near
Artemisa, he was unwilling to
leave Havana. 1t is stated
that General Rivera's move
ments near Artemisa are caus
ing him considerable uneasi
ness. as the Spanish command
ers there have asked for rein
forcements.

GROWTH UNDER FREEDOM.
LFrom The WASHINGTON Times.l

FROM / ne washington IImcS.J
In the course of the proceedings COM
memorative of Emancipation Day, our
colored fellow-citizens met in Lincoln
Park, and listened to appropriate ad-
dresses, delivered by prominent men
of their race. Mr.. Chase, the orator OF
the day, took advantage of the occa-
sion to make some extremely sensible
remarks. Among other things, he is
reported as saying: "Our freedom is
made mockery of by street paradeS.
They show up the disgraceful side OF
the negro; he is presented as he was,
and not as he is, in some instances. "
The speaker then urged that far bet
ter feature of such celebrations would
be an inspection by the President OF
the work of the children in the colored
public schools. He thought, and Very
Justly, that the sort of advertisement
the colored people of the country most
need will be found in their securing
public recognition and appreciation
of the rapid advancement of the race,
educationally, materially, and all the
elements of worthy citizenship.

The choir choral society, which gave
a concert at the Metropolitan A. NJ. E.
Church, Friday April %, was a dead
failure; only about twelve people were
present, in that spacious auditorium,
to witness the singing of about three
hundred and fifty voices; however,
the choirs carried out their pro-
gramme. The 18TH Street Junior
choir sang; Hallelujah from Mount
of Olives. Miss H. E. Fitzhugh, of the
Vermont Ave Baptist Church sang,
Kathleen Mavourneen; Christ our
passover; Asbury choir, The Land OF
Yesterday. Mr. w. w. Orme, Tedeum,

HORN, THE TAILOR.

| wonder how many people in Wash
ington know that face without reading
the name below it. Well, can tell the
ones who do not, that they are the
losers. Horn the tailor, should be
single dollar for mems clothes-and |
guess most families do that. The men
who go to 637 F street and have their
clothing made to order save money
any way you look at il. In tile first place
Horn doesn't ask any more for his
tailor-made garments than you would
have to pay for similar qualities in the
ready-made stores 1t may be hard
for you to believe this, but it's fact,
Take samples of Horns goods to the
stores and compare them with the
goods in suits already made up. When
you have found similar qualities you'll
find prices just as high as Horns. A
wife or mother who lays the slightest
claim to the right of being called eco
nomical must forfeit it unless she goes
to Horns and investigate his offers.
Horn tells the working man, as we'll as
the society man, that he will save him
money in the cost of clothes. He
won't charge you penny to give you
hundred samples and all the infor-
nation you want.
Horn went to New York Yesterday.
To his customers this means that some
rare bargains will be on tap lust as
soon as his purchases arrive here.
Every little while he runs to New York
and spends two or three days going
through the stocks of some of the
mammoth wholesale establishment:
