James ". Irwin, OF San Francisco who
was some months ago sent to Cuba to as
sist in the establishment of the postal ser
vice on the island, delivered 4 very inter-
esting lecture last evening at Carroll In
stitute Hall on the progress of the work,
and incidentally gave very entertaining
description OF the city Of Havana. The
lecture was complimentary to Mr.. Irwin S
friends in the Postofiice Department, and
it is needless to say that the hall was
crowded to its utmost capacity. Additional
interest was added to the subjects dis
cussed by their being illustrated with
many excellent stereopticon views.
Among place of interest which we're
shown upon the canvas were the prison
in which Miss Cisneros was confined and
from which she escaped, the house in
which Consul General Fitzhugh Lee lived
while in Havana, the residence of the
Spanish Captain General of Cuba, the
cathedral custom house, and many Of the
hotels of the capital. Numerous street
scenes descriptive OF the customs and
| manner of the Cubans were also shown.
After the lecture Mr.. Irwin was enter
tained at dinner at the Raleigh Hotel
by DR.. Marshall. of the Postoffice De-
partment. The other guests were w. Z.

John p. Clum. Chief of the Depreciation

General Horatio G.. Wright retired, who
has been quite i'll during the past few
days at his home. at 1903 N Street north
west, is much improved. Several days ago
a break was noticed in his hitherto re-
markably good health and on Thursday
evening the distinguished Army officer was
attacked with sinking spell, which caused
the immediate members of the family con-
siderable concern.
His condition improved yesterday morn
ing, however and dispelled all immediate
anxiety. During the afternoon the gen.
erals condition was further improved by
a long sleep. Last night he was reported
as resting comfortably and as being on
the road to recovery.
Few Army officers are better known and
more generally liked in the National Capt.
tai than General Wright. He graduated
from West Point with high honors. He en-
tered the Engineer Corps and rapidly ad
yanced in that branch of the service until
he reached the high post of chief of en-
gineers. He served through the Civil War
and bears a distinguished military record.
During recent years he has been living in
retirement. General Wright is about
