he had ccrcluded to vote for the Franklin
building.
The debate closed at this point, and the
question came to a vote.
The Voting.
The first proposition to be voted on was
Mr.. Harries' amendment to the report for
the selection of Henry building. The vote
was recorded as follows:
Ayes-Harries. whelpley. Wilson and
Witmer+.
Nays-Barnard. Hazen. Shadd. Bruce
Cornish and Mrs. Stowell-6.
Before the vote was announced, Mr.. Har-
rieS, in order to preserve his parliamentary
right to move reconsideration of the vote.
changed his vote to the negative, with the
result that the amendment was lost by 4
vote of seven to three.
The vote then required on the report of
the committee in favor of the Franklin
building. The desult was as follows:
Ayes-Barnard, HaZen, Shadd Brace, Cor
Eish and Mrs. Stowell-6.
Nays-Harries. Whelpley, Wilson and
Witmer-.
Again. before the announcement of the
vote, Mr.. Harries said he desired to change
his vote. and Mr.. Barnard endeavored to
checkmate him by making a motion to re-
consider the vote just taken and to lay
the motion to reconsider on the table.
Things were now getting somewhat COM
plicated from n parlia mentary STANDPOINT.
Mr. Harries alluded to the absence OF
Mrs. Terrell and her interest In the ques-
ton. He said he thought she should have
chance to vote, and consequently he
moved to postpone action until there was
full meeting.
Mrs. Stowell objected She said that in
asmuch as the vote stood to in favor Of
the Franklin building, the vote of Mrs
Terrell could not possibly affect the result
either way. Consequently, as there was
no apparent use in waiting. she advocated
the settlement of the question at once
The chair put Mr.. Harries' motion to
postpone action. and it was lost, the vote
being tie, Mr. Cornish having voted for
IT with Messrs. Harries, Whelpley, Wilson
and Wilmer.
The vote required on Mr.. Barnard's mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which the
Franklin building had been selected and
to lay the motion to reconsider on the
table-the usual parliamentary course of
cllnchlnS the action of the majority. The
vote on this motion was as follows:
Ayes-Rarnard, HaZen, Shadd, Bruce Cor
rish and Mrs. Stowell-6.
Magistrates, Whelpley, Wilson and
Witmer-.
The chair announced the adoption of the
motion, and the friendly battle of the bal
lots was ended.
On motion of Mr.. Barnard, Miss Eleanor
Lazier was granted a third-grade certifi-
cate.

LAST BISCHOFF CONCERT.
Some of the Best-knOwn Local Sing.
crs Participated I'm the Program.

SHS ANEaheApatteu the fTO9 RAJ
Probably the largest audience that the
Congregational Church has ever held as
sembled there last evening, upon the oc-
casion of the third and last concert of the
Bschof pupils series. Standing room was
not even available after the first one or
two numbers, and large crowd Of late
corners was turned away from the door,
urable to obtain even that limited amount
of comfort. The program was long one,
and contained numbers by some Of the
best-known singers of Washington. Every
number was loudly applauded, and had en-
cores been allowed the concert would have
easily lasted couple of hours longer
Most of the participants were loaded with
floral tributes. In point of artistic merit
Mrs. Tom c. Noyes carried off the honors
Of the evening. She sang the grand sria
from Gounod's Queen of Sheba," and be-
sides full, clear tones and wonderfully
distinct enunciation, Mrs. NoyaS probably
never sang with better dramatic force or
spirit. Nor has she sung anything tina;
displayed SO well her remarkable range as
this took her from low A to high ID, and
she held the last note with perfect ease
The applause given her at the close of the
, number amounted to almost an ovation
Next to Mrs. Nvyes Miss Edna Scott Smith
and Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shir-Cliff found
the most favor with "Lieti Signor' from
the "Huguerots," and the mad scene from
Hamlet, respectively. Miss Smith sur
rrised even her most familiar friends by
the excellent manner in which she gave the
Well-known aria. Mrs. Shir-ClifYe sang in
her usual Pleasing style. Mrs Noyes and
Mrs. Shir-Cllf gave duet, THE Gypsies"
that proved to be ore of the features of the
evening, their voices harm onizing in a most
pleasing manner. Mr.. Douglass O. Miller
sang the ''Cujus Amman from Rossini's
Stabat Mater" and sang it WELL while
Mrs. Elsie Bond Bischoff repeated her in
depreciation of David's aria. La Perle du
Bresil. Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith sang the
mad scene from Lucia di Lammermoor,"
ard the program was brought 10 a close
with the tower scene from the fourth act
Of III Trovatore," in which Miss Xarifa
Hancock and Mr.. Miller, with the chorus,
sang with effect. The First congregational
choir opened the concert with the chorus.
The Heavens Are Telling" from Haydn's
Creation" and sang it excellently. The
others who took part were Mr.. l.. f. Still

house here this afternoon.
MIR. Jones was in splendid form. and FOR
an hour and half held undated the at
tention Of his very intelligent audience.
Beginning with State issues, the speaker
oxpounded In clear and forcole man
ner the importance OF the work 10 come
before the Legislature soon TO assemble.
lie gave general resume OF that work.
especially as bearing upon probable
changes in the State Constitution. and
impressed upon his hearers the necessity
OF having good Democrats in the Legisla,
ture 10 represent them. Ho showed in
detail the unassailable record of the
Democratic party. and dwelt upon the ina
portance of keeping IL in power by every
voters coming to the polls.
As to national issues he showed by COM
parison the unjust operation Of the Ding
ley bill as grinding and depressing. lie
severely arfMRncu the trusts ana COM
bines. and proved by indisputable figures
that prosperity could never reign in this
country as long as the pension laws re-
manned as at present. In a few words

cause was waning, ana declared that on
the other hand it was stronger than IL
was one year ago, and ventured the pre-
diction that II would go on increasing III
strength until in 1900 when II would be
victorious. He emphasized in strong terms
his belief in the Chicago platform, de-
claring that IL represented in every plank
the true principles Of Democracy ana
that he hoped the party would have Just
such a platform 10 stand upon In 1900. In
an eloquent peroration he paid glowing
tribute to William j Bryan, and hha
many complimentary things 10 say OF the
