The Arch.
The inspiration Of noble architect
ural forms Is illustrated by the arches
erected for the auditorium This seq
ment Of a circle Is constructed Of pine
boards bolted and braced together.
The hOmeliness Of the material does
not effect the nobility Of that noble
leap. The protestant cathedral so
long in course .: erection in New York
City is being built around an arch
that rises up like monument sur.
rounded by less imposing and less i'm.
mortal architectural forms. 1t Is
doubtful IL the cathedral when COM
pleted will be more beautiful than
the arch, which, without ornament
and revealing its whole, structural
simplicity, attracts the eyes Of the
people,
The arch when erected as a memorial
Of a battle, or Of u great statesman
has also another quality which we are
slowly learning tc appreciate the
value Of. 1t is symbol Of triumph,
Of strength, Of greatness. Men do
not live in it nor have Offices in it.
They do not use it as depot or as a
train shed. 1t is symbol like these
piles OF rocks the Mosaic herders built
in memory Of an ascension or Of an &c.
casiOn when God talked with the
priest. So that in time to come when
their sons, in wandering over the
mountains and valleys, shall c.me
upon this pile Of stones, they may
stop: "fhis Is the place our fathers

DAMROSCH SOCIETY EVENTS.
Three Musical Offerings Scheduled
for the Current Season.

The Damrosch Society. which numbers
many cultured and prominent musically in
clined persons in its list of members, has
three attractive events outlined for the
current season.
Announcement Of the dates has been
made, the first to occur January 2S at the
Universalist Church. This will be an illus
trated lecture Wagner and His Music"
delivered by Mr.. H. e. Kreibel of New
York, assisted by Miss Lolita Mills, pianist
At the same place March 2, a fine con-
cert will be given by the society, and
May another will occur at the Columbia
Tneater
The associate membership feature Of the
society is enc that attracts many who have
an interest in musical affairs, but cannot
take an active part In the work. The board
of governors is empowered to elect persons
as associate members upon the presenta-
ton of written application, Endorsed by
one more active members, and accom-
panied by the annual dues for one year
Each associate Is entitled to three reserved
seats to all events of the society and to all
club room privileges. Applications and in
formation can be had of Mr.. Jas. G. Tray
lor, the secretary of the society

Not the Action of the Committee,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

My attention has been drawn to the ar
ticle appearing in your issue of the It'll in
slant purporting to be an account of a
meeting of the steering committee OF the
Afro-American Council, and the action
thereof against Col. Higgins and others
There are but three members of said steer
ing committee who could legally deal with
such matter under authority of the coun-
Gil, viz: Representative Geo. H. White.
Cyrus Adams and the undersigned. 1 saw
Congressman White. and found that he.
like myself, knew nothing about the mat
ter, and was indignant that any one should
presume to use the name of the council
without authority. The public has been
imposed upon and the name of the council
used to tnjure the parties named OF the
merits of the matter l know nothing. and
it is to be deeply regretted that designing
persons should attempt to use the name of
the council and the power conferred upon
its steering committee without consultation
with any of its members. There are fifteen
members, and the three above named are
the subcommittee, with power to act for
said committee DANIEL MURRAY .

done to protect tie health of the inhabi-
tants, though some Of the changes are such
radical innovations as to cause more or
less discord
To an American the city presents a quaint
appearance. The streets are very narrow
being about thirty or forty feet wide, with
a few of the principal streets paved with
cobblcstones The houses are constructed
of bricks and a combination of sticks and
mortar. Blue is the prevailing color. and to
see house after house painted in this hue
gives a queer effect. The roofs are made
of brown-colored tile, and the combina-
ticn of blue front and brown roof is some
what pleasing to the eye. 1t relieves the
mcnotony and affords a good contrast.
Palace and Cathedral.
The palace, al present the American head
quarters, is located in the center of the
city, and at one time must have been a
magnificent building. But the vicissitudes
of time have somewhat marred its beauty.
Opposite the palace, across a paved square,
is the cathedral. This structure is an
ancient edifice bearing the date of 100. 1t
cooks extremely dilapidated from the out
side, but the bad impression created by a
view of the exterior is completely changed
when one glances inside. The floor is made
of a colored tile, such as can be found in
the new Congressional Library. and the
walls are of pure white, and hung with
costly oil paintings. antique and valuable
The altar trimmings are of GOLD and silver.
and beautiful flowers fill every niche in the
cathedral.
In the vicinity of the palace are num-
Der of cafes that are furnished largely upon
the American plan, with marble top tables.
p ate glass m rrors, silver trays and goblets.
These cafes are stocked with all kinds of
drinks and confections. and are well patron
lied, both by the natives and the foreigners
One peculiar sight here is the barred win
dows. Instead of glass the windows are
furnished with iron bars, and al night are
closed with a heavy iron or wooden shutter.
On the whole, in my opinion, Santiago has
the advantages for the making of a great
city. The mountains close by are filled
with iron, copper and coal. and some claim
that gold has already been found. In addi-
ton to the mineral wealth. the rich farm
ing country of San Luis is but twenty miles
away. With proper railroad facilities, the
lack of which is now badly felt, the coun-
try could be developed wonderfully.

Notification of the appointment OF
Representatives.

The Mount Pleasant Citizens Association
has selected Mr.. James w Somerville and
Mr.. Chaplin Brown as it's representatives on
the general committee now being organized
by the Business Mems Association to com
plete and carry out the plans for the ma
uonal peace carnival in May next.

A letter has been received by Secretary
Mexican of the Business Mems Association
from ]. d. Mills, real estate broker of
Vicksburg, Miss, which reads:
In reading the Washington papers have

Correspondence has been commenced with
other cities looking to the formation of
Business Mems Associations, to be followed

Discusses Nationa, Expansion.

The question of national expansion was
discussed before the lyceum of the Second
Baptist Church yesterday afternoon. The
church was taxed to its utmost capacity to
seat the people. Prof. James Storum of
the Washington High School presented a
carefully prepared paper, which dealt with
the subject from many points of view. He
saw no warrant, he said, in the Constitu-
tlon Tor colonial policy on the part of the
United States, and he could not see the
good that would accrue to this country by
entering upon scheme Of imperialism, and
as a patriot, jealous of his country's veal,
he felt called upon to raise the voice of
warming. He appealed 10 the young men
present to examine >theS subject carefully
before giving their aid to the scheme COM
hitting our government to a colonial pol
icy.
The paper was discussed by Mr.. Judson
w. Lyons, register of the treasury; Mr. r.
w. Thompson, Mr. Lucius Peterson, Mr..
VIM: Murreli Of New JERSEY. Mr.. A. Lynch,
MI Lee, Mr.. l.. c. Moore and others. Prof
